The Quakers quibbles in three parts : first set forth in an expostulatory epistle to Will. Pfnn [i.e. Penn] concerning the late meeting held to Barbycan between the Baptists and the Quakers, also the pretended prophet Lod. Muggleton and the Quakers compared : the second part, in reply to a quibbling answer to G. Whiteheads, entituled The Quakers plainness ... : the third part, being a continuation of their quibbles ... / by the same indifferent pen.

SECT. II. The Quakers Quibbles about Set-days and Set-places.

Sect. 1. PRinciples of Truth, p. 42. per E. Burroughs, We believe his True Wor∣ship required and accepted of him, is not by the Tra∣dition of Men, in outward Observances, or Set-days, or Places, but he is Worshipped onely in Spi∣rit and Truth without respect of Times, Places, or Things. And this was (one while) the Quak••rs ge∣neral Doctrine, that they should not run, nor be enjoyned by others to come to Meetings, but as they ••re moved of the Lord thereto, and that without that, it was but Will-Worship: See Principles of Truth, p. 24. & 51. Every Man ought to be left FREE as the Lord shall perswade his own mind in doing, or leaving undone this or th' other practice in Religion.

Sect. 2. But to whirle about, and run round again, at other times, P. Livingstone can tell you, Idem, p. 5.

It is a dark Spirit, clearness and FREEDOM is not in it, but it hath, and doth lead into Bondage. — And here Satan by Trans∣forming himself hath obtained his End and pur∣pose in such, for which cause he first Transformed himself in the matter of the Hat and the Hand, and not coming to Meetings, until they should be moved of the Lord, untill at last he obtained his end to get them not to come at all, and not to

let them rest therewith, but also made, and makes them believe lyes; as namely, that they be mo∣ved of the Lord to cry against Meetings, &c. And we are certain enough what that Spirit leads to in the end (for all its fair appearance) if it be followed to the end, &c.

And who now Observes more their set-days and hours too, their first, and fourth days meeting, and set places Built on purpose (a•• the Bull and Mouth, and Grace-Church-street, &c.) than the Quakers? And thus are they run into Forms as those whom they once condemned, and now deny that FREE∣DOM they once allowed and cry'd for; which is all but a Quibble.
