A faithful discovery of a treacherous design of mystical Antichrist displaying Christs banners, but attempting to lay waste Scriptures, churches, Christ, faith, hope, &c. and establish paganism in England. Seasonably given in a letter to the faithful in and near to Beverley. Containing an examination of many doctrines of the people called Quakers in Yorkshire, together with a censure of their way, and several items concerning the designs of God, Satan, and men, in these things, recommended to the consideration of them who are in good earnest for Christ.

But it sufficeth not to our Adversaries to have left things in General, but they also affirm that Presbyterians, Independents, Anabaptists and such differing forms, are all in the Kingdom of Ba∣bylon and in the confusions of it.

TOuching which

1. It is our earnest desire that such so differing would not rigidly dwell upon their conceivments in Externals to make a breach in the Body of Christ which is but one, by re∣jecting all (though godly) that are not in their way of Disci∣pline. Faith in Christ, and Love to all Saints, are joined to∣gether, Eph. 1. 17. Col. 1. 4.

2. Yet we do abhominate those unjust aspersions of Ba∣bel-confusions cast on these effects of an inquisitive mind, de∣siring to know the mind of the Lord, which thou O vain man reproachest, though thy conscience would tell thee (if thou hadst not silenced it) that there are many godly persons, in those mentioned wayes, who rest not in the form, but in o∣bedience to God as they understand exercise themselves there∣in, having also the Power of Godliness.

3. But it is observable they meddle not with Popery and Episcopacy, &c. for indeed these principles make all externals indifferent, unlesse that they are more violent against Presby∣terians, Independents, Anabaptists, because they stand more in their light, neither may Familism speak ill of its native Country and old friends; We mean the Romish Anti∣christ.
