Ans. That which is not possible with men is possible with God, which God is a Spirit as Jesus Christ saith, and a spirit hath not flesh and bone, nor a created body, but displays it self as it pleases, contrary to thy will, and the will of all men; and thou who would by thy reason ••y the Creator with a necessi••y to a personal being, are void of the knowledge of God, and led by thy corrupt reason, which shall never know God, and all those who worships God in spirit, worships an infinite Spirit, which Spirit inhabiteth eternity, and lives in the consciences of the Saints, and this is not to glo∣ry in an imagination, but a witnessing of the same eternall Truth, which he Saints witnessed which spake forth the Scripture, for they witnessed Christ dwel••ed in them, and the same God they w••rshipped, whose temple they were, and not another, and we the same witnesse, and this to the honour of the Man Jesus, who was yesterday, to day, and for ever.
Ansvvers to severall queries put forth to the despised people called Quakers, by Philip Bennett, who cals himself a minister of Christ, but is found a deceiver; answered by them to whom they were directed. Also, ansvvers to severall other subtil queries put forth by one Iohn Reeve, who lives in the City of London, who cals himself the last messenger and witnesse unto the true God, but is found a false witnesse, and a lyar, and a perverter of the right way of God. / Answered by Edward Burrough, and Francis Howgill, who are witnesses unto the truth against this subtil serpent-like generation.
