The first part of Babel's-builders unmasking themselves as appears by the following judgment from Barbadoes (promoted by George Fox his party, and subscribed by eighty two of them) : with a letter of G.F.'s, G.W's, &c. in answer thereunto, and observations thereupon : also a false prophesie of that lying prophet, Sol. Eccles : whereas the following discourse was formerly printed and privately disposed ... amongst those called Quakers, but finding some of G.F.'s party have since publickly exposed it with slanderous and false charges on the author, this second impression with some small addition, is now made publick ...

READER,

OBserve what this S. E. (one of G. F's Preachers) delivers in the Name of the LORD, Viz.

1. That their Womens-Preachings and Womens-Meetings are the Good Or∣dinances which Christ hath set up in his Church.

2. That being reconciled (i. e. submitting) to G. F. and his Imposing Party, is the only way to find Mercy with the Lord.

3. G. F. &c. (who call themselves the Body of Friends) he terms the Bo∣dy of Jesus Christ.

4. That great Lye he delivered in the Name of the Lord, Viz. THIS YEAR SHALT THOƲ (JOHN STORY) DIE, &c. Who was then Ill, and not like to live long, but yet lived about four years after.

This is here inserted, that all who read or hear it, may fear, and beware of taking the Name of the Lord in vain. Also of having G. F. or any Persons, or their Orders in Admiration, as this S. E. and others his Brethren and Preachers of G. F's Party have so frequently done, as appears by the Titles they have given G. F. Viz. One greater than Moses, a Prophet indeed, — It was said of Christ, he was in the World, the World was made by Him, and the World knew Him not; so it may be said of this true Prophet, whom John said he was not, but thou shalt feel this Prophet one day, as heavy as a Milstone upon thee, and though the World knoweth him not, yet he is known.

Also G. F. hath been stiled, The Father of many Nations, whose Life hath reached to us thy Children, even to the Isles afar off, whose Being and Habitation is in the Power of the Highest, in which thou Rules and Governs in Righteousness, and thy Kingdom is Established in Peace, and the Encrease thereof is without End.

These and many more have been given him, which I do not understand that he disowned or testified against, but rather owned and approved of them, as it seems to appear by his causing, or at least suffering those Expressions, &c. to be Communicated to others, See also a Blasphemous and Idolatrous Letter in p. 7 of 5th. BABELS, &c. Now these have been covered, Justified, or excused, but others that conscientiously dissent from their Ceremonies, they are persecuted with Rigour and false Accusations. Oh Was ever greater Partiality and respect of Persons from such high Pretenders to Christianity! And if Trees may be known by their Fruits, these are evil Ones. Therefore dear Friends, be sepa∣rate from these unclean things, for such Principles and Practices, are Babylons Brats (who is to be made naked to the shame of her Lovers) and happy shall those be who dash them against the Stones, but wo to them that give suck to, and nourish them. Think me not your Enemy, because I deal plainly with you, for it is in Love to Truth, and abhorrence of Imposition, unlimited Power, Impli∣cit, blind, and unacceptable Obedience, I desire the Lord to give you to know what is his good and acceptable Will. Recommending you to the Spirit of Grace in your own Hearts, whereby you may be preserved blameless in this crooked Generation. To God only be Glory and Eternal Honour for ever.
