Touching their Hypocrisie and Censoriousness.

Q. 63. VVhether you still believe the Quakers to be the only Church of Christ, and that the Quakers are in the Truth, and none but they, as your Doctors, Whitehead, and Sol. Eccles Teach, notwithstanding you Reject the Ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, Reject the Reading the Holy Scriptures in your Meetings; yet read your own nonsensical Epistles, make no Confession of Sin, nor ask Pardon for Christ's sake, nor ever pray in the Name of Jesus to God the Fa∣ther? Answ.

Q. 64. Why do your Teachers leave out of your Marriage Certificates the Wo∣man's Promise of Obedience to her Husband, it being a Command of God? And is not this the main Reason that the Quakers Wives are not ashamed to tell you, they see no Reason that they should either Obey or Reverence their Hus∣bands? Answ.

Q. 65. Whether you be not more Zealous for the Commandments of G. Fox, in the Education of your Children; teaching them strictly to observe Thee and Thou to a single Person; First, Second, and Third Day of the Week, not to wear Lace, &c. than you are for the Commandments of God, which teach VVomen to obey their Husbands, Children their Parents, Servants their Masters, Subjects their Princes and Governors? &c. Answ.

Q. 66. Why do you suffer such Hypocrites to teach among you, as Cater, who pretended he suffer'd 20 l. for Preaching at Phakenham, in Norfolk, when he suf∣fer'd not a Groat, but got 10 l. clear into his Pocket? Answ.

Q. 67. Why do you suffer George Whitehead to Teach amongst you, who Preach against Swearing, and yet himself did swear in the Lord-Mayor's Court, April 9. 1695. before the Quakers Oath was Enacted? Answ.

Q. 68. Whether it was not a Trial of Skill to root out the Protestant Mini∣stry, and overturn the Church of England, when 7000 Quakers petitioned the Parliament against Tythes? And can you take it ill if you meet with such a Petiti∣on, to purge the Nation of Blasphemers? Answ.

Q. 69. Whether you think Whitehead, your Drudge, can defend your Teach∣ers from what in this Paper, and my last Book, is objected against them? If not, ought you not to examine the Matter? Answ.
