SECT. IV.

2. AND the Foxonian Quakers gave héed unto G. Fox from the least to the greatest, believing all he taught, saying he is the power of God.

1. That they gave heed to him in all he taught, 'tis demonstrable from di∣vers reasons, but for brevity sake I shall mention this, viz. of all the Blasphe∣my that ever G. Fox spake or wrote, never a Quaker of his Party ever con∣demned one passage, but either justified it, or if that could not be done, then excuse it; see W. Pen in his Book Judas and the Jews, p. 44. Tho to do the dissenting Quakers justice, who meet in Harp-lane, they did by their Book, An Answer to several passages, &c. p. 10. condemn G. F.'s words in the Battledoor, as High Blasphemy; and p. 6. said Geo. Whitehead as guilty of the aforesaid charge, (i. e.) of being a contentious Scribbler, of giving base names, &c. and in part of cloak∣ing gross errors. Indeed when I saw this come forth, I was in hopes of a Re∣formation; but alas this was no sooner come to my hand, but I had another sent me which justifies G. Fox, and G. Whitehead in all their abomination, signed by

...Edw. Brush,
...Waller Miers,
...Tho. Cox,
...Gilbert Laity,
...Charles Bathurst,
...Tho. Lower,
...William Phillips,
...Tho. Mincks,
...John Vaughton,
...Nath. Marks,
...John Cooper,
...Tim. Emmerton,
...John Feild,

So that when all these came out in the name of the rest, I concluded the Foxonian Tribe, from the highest to the lowest, believed all G. F. taught, how Blasphemous soever it was. And now to the second part of the paragraph, that they say he is the Power of God; for proof of this see the third Table or Index to G. Fox's Journal, under the Letter M, for Miracles, where 'tis thus said, Miracles wrought by the Power of God. And when I turned to p. 370, 371, where one of the profoundest Miracles he did is recorded, and as a Mi∣racle too, there is nothing but I George Fox threw away my Stick and Gloves, I, I, I, &c. If G. Whitehead say 'twas the life of Christ in him, I tell him No, it must be G. Fox, for the life of Christ in him need no Stick and Gloves: from whence 'tis plain they hold parallel with the poor deluded Samaritans, calling G. Fox the power of God.
