A Bermudas preacher proved a persecutor being a just tryal of Sampson Bond's book, entituled, A publick tryal of the Quakers, &c. : Fraught with fallacies, false doctrine, slanders, railings, aspersions, perversions, and other abuses herein detected, disproved and wiped off. : And that the True Christ is owned by the people called Quakers, plainly made manifest.

Appendix.

SAmpson Bond, thou saist in Page 14. That if any Man seek to be Justi∣fied by the righteousness of the Law, as most of the Quakers do, &c. This horrid Lye and Forgery S. B. hath not proved as in Page 14. for we being Justified freely by his Grace through Redemption that is in Christ Jesus, who dyed for our Sins, and is risen for our Justification, Rom. 3. and we are Justified by Faith in his Blood: And as by the offence of one, judgement came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (to wit Christ) the free gift came upon all men to the justification of life, Rom. 5.18. and a great rabble of this he hath pack'd together in three or four Pages, as though We should deny Jesus Christ of Nazareth, his Death and Resurrection, because we are Witnesses to the Apostles Doctrine, who saith, That Christ is in you except ye be reprobates, 2 Cor. 13. And again, the Apostle saith, That Christ may dwell in your hearts by Faith; and as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, Col. 2.6. And again the Apo∣stle saith, Christ in you the hope of glory whom we preach, &c. Col. 1.27. Now this is the true Christ Jesus which we own, which the Apostle Preach't IN people as well as WITHOUT, and Christ Jesus who came according to the Promise and Prophets of God, and how he died for our sins accor∣ding to the Scripture, and that he was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scripture, and is ascended at the right hand of God, and manifest, and dwells in the hearts of his people, and he that hath the Son of God hath Life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life, 1 John 5.12. And thus we and the Apostles do own Christ within, and we do abhor that lying poysonous Tongue of S. B. who saith, We deny Jesus of Nazareth who was crucified, dead and buried, and rose again, and sitteth at the right hand of God, and yet dwells in his people by Faith; and if Priest Bond do not know Christ in him, then he is a reprobate, and then let him consider who dwells in him, if it be not the Devil and Satan whom he hath so often in his mouth: And was not Saul persecuting Jesus of Nazareth in his Members, when he said, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? as in Acts 9.4. and Saul said, who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus of Nazareth whom thou persecutest, Acts 9.5. and Acts 22.8. Priest Bond, could Saul get into Hea∣ven

to persecute Jesus of Nazareth but in his Members? as thou dost now in us, and callest him a false Christ and a Devil as he is in us. And Priest Bond, all those Scriptures that thou hast brought or perverted, and misap∣plied in thy 1, 2, 3, 4 Pages, which we say he hath brought to prove his false Charge against us, That Jesus Christ of Nazareth, a Man approved of God, &c. who is the true Christ and Saviour, who died for our Sins, and is risen again for our Justification, who is at the right hand of God, and is the one Mediator betwixt God and Man, even the Man Christ Jesus; we say, this true Lord Jesus Christ, who is revealed in us, as he was in the Apostles and Saints, he hath not proved to be a false Christ, a Deceiver, the Devil, and an Antichrist, as he wickedly and blaphemously saith, who hath sold himself to work wickedness, and made lies his refuge to corrupt and defile peoples minds withal, and all these Scriptures, Acts 2. and 4, and 10. Chap. Luke 2. John 4. Heb. 10.1.2. Chap. Col. 1. Ephes. 2. 1 Pet. 2. Heb. 9. Luke 24. Mark 6. Acts 1.3.7. chap. and many other Scriptures may be brought to witness against his false, slanderous Charge; and his second Charge, and all the rest is as false, and stuft full with a rabble of Lies, as the first: So Priest Bond hath brought all these Scriptures to prove Jesus Christ the true Saviour, which no Quaker doth deny. But how doth S.B. own the true Lord Jesus Christ without, if he doth not own the true Lord Jesus Christ revealed within, who is the Saviour? As the Apostles, and the true Christians, in scorn called Quakers, do: For doth not Antichrist and Deceivers confess Christ without as S. Bond doth, and call the true Christ within, Antichrist, a Deceiver, and a Devil within his people, and so per∣secutes Christ in his Members like Saul? So Priest Bond hath proved him∣self to be in the Spirit of the Scribes and Pharisees who profest Christ to come, and when he was come, they said, he had a Devil, and by the Prince of Devils cast out Devils. And now the true Christ is come that dyed, and rose again, and ascended at the right hand of God, and is revealed in his people as he was in the Apostles, and now this true Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in his people who are no Reprobates, Priest Bond in his false, wick∣ed, blasphemous Charge, to prove this true Lord Jesus Christ in his people, a false Christ, an Antichrist, a Deceiver, a Devil, in this he hath proved himself a Deceiver, and a Reprobate, and no true Christian, but hath ma∣nifested his folly and madness to all that read his Book.

Sampson Bond who stiles himself late Preacher of the Gospel in Burmoudas, who saith he had a Dispute with the Quakers in Burmoudas, and they did say, in Joh. 1.9. That that was the true light which enlightens ever man that comes into the world, and this Scripture F. E. he more especially insisted on, S. B. saith, to prove Christ to be the true Light, and that Light to be the

only Saviour which is in every Man that comes into the World, whence saith S. B. F. E. Argued, That the Quakers pretended Saviour within is the true, and not the false Christ.

And S. B. answers and saith, It is true, that by the Light in that place of Scripture, the true Christ and only Saviour is meant. Here S. B. makes a pub∣lick confession in Print, and saith, It is true, that by Light in that place of Scripture, Joh. 1. the true Christ and only Saviour is meant. So then here S. Bond doth confess that it was the true Christ whose Name is called the Word of God, by whom all things was made, and in him was Life, and this Life is the Light of men, and this was the true Light which is the Life in Christ, the Word that was made Flesh, who enlightens every man that comes into the World, John 1.9. as in Page 8. And in Page 10. thou saist, As for your Idol (Light-Christ, &c.) and scoffingly saist, Did ever the Jews Crucifie your feigned God-head-Light within? Here thou hast overthrown thy confession as before in Page 8. who saist, It's true, that by Light in that place of Scripture, John 1.29. the true Christ and our only Saviour is meant, &c. and now thou callest him our Idol Light-Christ, in Page 10. But we tell Priest Bond, That Christ did not dye as he was God, or his Godhead, but he was Crucified in the Flesh, and as he was Man, whom we believe and confess according to the Scripture, Jesus of Nazareth was born of the Vir∣gin, who dyed for our Sins, and is risen for our Justification, who is ascend∣ed at the right hand of God, and is revealed in us his people.

Priest Bond, thou saist in Page 12. 13. These Scriptures, Rom. 10. &c. the Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and heart, that is, the Word of Faith which we Preach: And further saist, I do not apprehend how these Scriptures answer the Arguments—which proveth a Quakers pretended Saviour within him to be the false Christ, the Devil: nor how they prove their pretended Saviour within to be the true Christ. In this, Priest Bond, thou hast shewed thy malice and blasphemy against our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who dyed for our sins, and is risen for our Justification, &c. and is revealed in us by his Spirit, and rules in our hearts by Faith, yea, he whose Name is called the Word of God; and we are not of them who say, Who shall ascend into Hea∣ven to bring Christ down from thence? or who shall descend into the deep to bring Christ again from the dead; but the Word is nigh us, even in our hearts and mouths; according to the Apostles Doctrine: And so we do believe in our hearts, and confess with our mouths, the Lord Jesus Christ whom God hath raised from the dead, by whom we are justified and saved.

Here the Reader may see some of Priest Bond's filthy, lying, blasphem∣ous Language, that he hath Printed against the people of God called Quakers, Your Idol Light-Christ, Page 10. Quakers are filled with envy; and

speak against those things which were spoken by Paul, O seducing Quakers, twice over. In Page 12. hath S. B. uttered these horrid Lies, Did ever Paul Preach Christ Jesus till God had revealed his Son in him?

Again, S. B. saith, A Quakers pretended Saviour within to be the false Christ, the Devil, Page 13.

S. B. We believe thou art nearer the Devil, than thou art the true Christ the Saviour, who rules in the hearts of his people by Faith, who through death, destroys Death, the Devil, the Power of Death; and the false Christ also.

S. B. saith, A Quakers, &c. Saviour within is not the true, but false Christ. Page 14.

These are Lies without proof, and this Lying Spirit that rules in S. B. may as well falsly accuse the Apostles, as the Quakers; who said to the Church of Corinth, Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates? And again the Apostle saith, Christ in you the hope of glory, whom we Preach, &c. 2 Cor. 13. 1. Col. 27.28. and yet S.B. saith, If thou confessest with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shall believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: But, S. B. did Paul confess Christ till he was revealed in him? And can Reprobates con∣fess Christ to their Salvation, in whom Christ is not? S. B. Thou saist (in Page 15.) Where do you Quakers search for your Gospel, Word of Faith, surely not in the Scriptures without, but at your Oracle, that Idol-Light, &c. O! thou Idol-Light within, &c. But Priest Bond, Is not the W••rd of Faith in the heart Gospel? Dost not thou say it is true, in that place of Scripture, John 1: By that Light which enlightens every man that comes into the World, the true Christ and our only Saviour is meant? and in Page 15. thou calls the Light of Christ within, an Idol-Light, and saist, O thou Idol-Light within. What mad confusion art thou in? And then thou saist, That Idol-Light, tender-part within, which you falsly call the everlasting Gospel and Eternal Word, (as in Page 15.) and yet thou confessest in Page 8. that every man that comes into the world is enlightned by Christ the Son of God, as he is the Eternal Word: And is not the Gospel the Power of God? And is not that Eternal or Everlasting? Rom. 1. Rev. 14. Is not the Light called the Light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the Image of God, &c? And God who commanded Light to shine out of Darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ, 2 Cor. 4. and it is false to say, that we affirm, that the Word was never made Flesh; and here thou maist see thy contradictions, who confessest the Word Eternal in Page 8. and contradicts it, and scoffest at it in Page 15. who saist, Search for your Gospel Word of Faith, surely not in the Scriptures,—without, but at your Oracle that Idol Light within, which you

falsly call the Everlasting Gospel, and Eternal Word: Yet thou contradicts thy self, and saith, p. 8. Christ the Eternal Word enlightens every man that comes into the World: And now thou callest the Light within, O thou Idol Light-within. Here thou maist see, how thou dost Blaspheme against the true Light, and the Life in Christ, the Word, which enlightens every man that comes into the world, Which will be thy Condemnation, who hatest it, and blas∣pheamest against it.

More of S. B.'s bad Words, Page 16. [The Light within doth justify the vilest Antichrists. No, it condemns thee and them.

Page 16. S. B. saith,—Metonymia, &c. F. E. understands no more than the Hour-Glass that is before me. But S. B. hath not proved, that the Gospel-Ministers Preacht in a Pulpit, like Ezra; neither hath he proved, that Ezra had a Cushion, which he makes such a work about; nor his Word Metony∣my, by Scripture, which he says is his Rule. S. B. saith, A Cushion is familiar (the Gloe-worm Light within) the Idol Light within, Page 18. 19. Antichri∣stian Divinity (to wit) the Light in Man, &c. These are Priest Bonds soul words.

S. B. saith, You blind Leaders of the blind, blush and tremble at your accursed Gospel within, &c. page 20. Answer, We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the Power of God unto Salvation, to every one that be∣lieves, Rom. 1.

S. B.—The Eternal Word, which (as ye affirm) was never made Flesh, page 15. and page 18. thou gives thy self the Lye, when thou saist, F. E. the Quaker said, That the Word took Flesh of the Virgin, and in that Flesh dyed for all men: Thou sayst, that this motion pleased F. E. so well, to make a deli∣berate repetition of it; and this thou scoffingly calledst F. E's New Divinity, the Idol, Light within: But where did ever the Apostles call the Light of Christ, which shines in the heart, an Idol, Light within, as thou blasphe∣mously saist? But here it is clear, thou hast manifested a Lying Spirit, who saist, page 15. that we affirm, the Eternal Word was never made Flesh. And then again, in page 18. thou art made to confess thus, viz. I shall here take up an expression which I had almost forgotten, which this Disputant F. E. doubled in his Discourse, namely, (That the Word took Flesh of the Virgin, and in that Flesh died for all men)—That God sent Christ to save all men from sin and death (as he F. Eastlack said) whose Sufferings, Sacrifice, Medi∣ation, Intercession and Offices we do own and witness, as inwardly wrought and performed in us, and for us: And this thou dost confess, page 18. That the Quakers did confess Christ was in their hearts, and scoffingly saist still, the Idol Light within, and callest this a New Doctrine. Now here it is clear ac∣cording to the Scripture, we did confess the Word became Flesh, and Christ

was put to death in the Flesh, and so died for, our Sins, and is risen for our Justification, and is revealed in our hearts by his Spirit, by which we know him to be our Mediator and Intercessor, and without him we can do no∣thing; who exercises his Prophetical, and his Priestly, and Kingly Office in his Church.

S B. And again thou saist, We affirm, the Eternal Word, was never made Flesh: and then in Page 21: thou confessest, that F. E. the Quaker said, that the Word took Flesh, and in that Flesh Dyed for all Men: Here again thou givest thy self a Lye in thy own Book. In Page 20. S. B. saith, You most certainly would do your uttermost, to Crucifie Him again (to wit Christ) These are some of thy malicious Lyes: for Christ is our Life and Saviour, Heb. 6.7. S. B. may apply to himself, and Heb. 10.29. And then S. B. is at it again, That a Quakers pretended Saviour within him was not the true Christ, but the false, Page 22. O most Horrible Quakerisme, digged out of the Bottomless Pit—thy Light Christ—Conscience—seducing and Lying Quaker—the false Christ within, Page 22. See the venom of this Man: for F. E. the Quaker confesseth, that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was received up into Heaven, Page 23. And because the Quakers say, this true Christ is revealed in them by his Spirit, and rules in their Hearts by Faith, this S. B. with his evil Spirit calls him the Devil and the False Christ. And the Quakers make a distincti∣on betwixt the Conscience and Christ, for the Conscience may be seared: and the Quakers do not say that every Man that comes into the World hath recei∣ved Christ, because he enlightens every Man that comes into the World: for them that believe in his Light are saved, and them that do not, are Condemned.

S. B's. Wicked words, Page 24, and 25. As Blind as Bayard, the false Christ, the Idol light within; a Syllogysme, a great Monster to him (to wit to the Quaker) That is not the Quakers Monster, but S.B's. Thou saist the Eternal Power and God-head was manifest in the unconverted Gentiles; yet in another place thou saist, Christ the Saviour within is the false Christ. What confused Babylon Stuff is this! and yet S. B. saith, That this was the Gospel Word that was Preached, which profited not neither Jews nor Gentiles, that did not by the mouth of Faith eat the Flesh and drink the Blood of our only Saviour. So then, if they eat his Flesh, and drink his Blood by the mouth of Faith, it is with∣in them: But did they eat this outward Flesh or humane Flesh as thou callest it? and yet S. B. saith, in Page 26. The Quakers Saviour within is not the true Christ, but of the Devil. And Page 15. thou saist, Where do you teaching Qua∣kers seek for your Gospel Word of Faith? Surely not in the Scriptures? and in Page 26. This was the Gospel Word, that was Preacht, &c. Saith S. B. in con∣tradiction to himself, who saith, Surely not in the Scriptures without, but at your Oracle, that Idol light within, that the Quakers have searcht for: then

hath not S. B. watcht for the same at his Idol light within, though we do ab∣hor his blasphemous words against the Light of Christ.

S. B. saith, that I do affirm Jesus Christ as man is our only material Saviour, and that the Manhood of the Son of God is the only material Cause of our Salva∣tion, and by necessary consequence, the Manhood or humane Nature of Christ was and is our only material Saviour: Page 28. But where doth S. B. prove the word Material and Humane Nature in Scripture, which he calls his Rule? Is Christ's Humane Nature the only Saviour? Was Christ sent without the Father? Did he Rise from the dead without the Fathers Power for our Justification? Doth Christ only reconcile the World without God? But we do confess, that Jesus Christ was an Offering for the Sins of the whole World; and so he suffered in the Flesh, and was quickned by the Spirit, and is alive, and lives for evermore: and so dyed for our Sins, and rose for our Justifica∣tion. [S. B. Blasphemous words] Idol-Light within, Page 29. Old Popish-trick, Carnal-Prophetess, as Carnal-Gospellers, Anti-Gospellers: I charge S. B. to prove these foul Words of his by Scripture.

S. B. Quakers Light within, is but the Pope without; If the Quakers Light of Christ within had been the Pope without (as in Page 27.) then the Pope and the Papists would never have imprisoned and persecuted the Quakers to Death, like the New-England Priests and Professors have done, and S. B. would not have blasphemed so against the Light. And now all people con∣sider, doth not S. B. keep all people in darkness, and in a reprobate State? for he saith Christ within is a Devil, and the Light of Christ is an Idol; sedu∣cing Quakers, confounding Dogs and Swine, and a wretched desire to blot out of our Hearts the Blessed Name (to wit Jesus,) all these are S. B's Lyes. Again S. B. saith, the Idol-Light within, Obedience to the Light, that unbloody Redeem∣er, the Pope without, is become the Quakers Light within, Page 32. But Read∣er, didst thou ever read such Lyes and wicked Language against the Light within, and against the Quakers, the Children of the Light, who are redeem∣ed by the Blood of Christ? And again: Frank's Seducers, Titular disputant, and Christs Humane Nature. What Scripture hath S. B. to prove these words, which he saith, is his Rule? but shews none, (as Page 34, 35.) And again he saith, That a Quakers Saviour within is not the true Christ: Surely thou canst not be so Bruitish ••s to think so, but rather the contrary, that is, the false Christ, the Devil. S. B. if thou hadst been in the days of the Apostles, who told the Saints, Christ was in them, except they were Reprobates, thou would'st have said as much to them. When W. B. said to S. B. That the Light makes manistest; which so troubled S. B. that he said, He th ught that W. B. his loud lowing and bellowing was to prevent him of asking where these Words might be sound in Scripture, which he says he did forbear to ask. Was this a good an∣swer

for Priest Bond? Instead of answering W. B. he gives him foul Words. (Page 37.) The Light within thee is the true not the false Christ I hope. Saith S. B. Thou art not such a BULLOCK as to think it to be the true Christ. (Page 38. and 39. [Deceivers, Antichrists, Smoak-Coale.] If Christ be not in his People by his Light, Grace and Faith, &c. Then Priest Bond would not have spoken so many ill words against Christ and his Light within, [Page 40. Bonds bad words, seducing Quakers, seducing Quakers, Deceivers and Anti∣christs.] Then he saith, They are of the Dragon and Beast, making War against the Lamb—do deny Jesus Christ of Nazareth to be the Christ, &c. These are all horrid Lyes from Priest Bonds foul mouth. For Christ we own as is said before; and his Lyes are sent home again.

Pr. Bond. says THOU and YOU is Diabolical to Idolize (as the Quakers do) [THOU and THEE] making it the dayly fuel; for your levelling, inflamed Pride. —This Bruitish kind of practice,—see if Priest Bond be not full of Pride, who cannot endure the word Thee and Thou, which is so frequently practi∣ced in Scripture, which he calls his Rule.

A Quaker, who denies the Trinity, &c. but he hath not proved the Three persons, nor the word Trinity in Scripture, which he calls his Rule, Page 43. Pr. Bond, Page 44. A Shame to be of your Sneaking, Surly, Dum, and Scurvy Carriage, Unwritten Scripture, (that Idol-Light) within,—Page 44.—Deceit, Blasphemy, Pride, Foolishness, of these four Links hath Satan made your Chain of darkness—your Idolized Thou and Thee, (Spring of your Scurvy and Surly deportment,) Thus poor. Ignorant ones are deluded by your equivocations—the Quakers is a Conscience of obeying his proud Lusts, and of disobeying Gods in∣spired Laws, for a Quaker boldly to Blaspheme, Page 45. These are Priest Bond's Slanderous Words and Lyes. The Light within is written Scripture, (which he saith is unwritten Scripture) as you may see in 2 Cor. 4. which he blasphe∣mously calls your Idol Light; and did the Apostles Idolize Thee and Thou, when they frequently used it?

Priest Bonds foul words, You are possessed with the infernal Spirit of superlative Pride against Jesus. F. E. makes another motion on the behalf of his Client, the false Christ, Saviour within, &c. To wit, The Blood of Jesus Christ clean∣seth from all Sin, Page 46. Here you may see the false Language of Priest Bond, For doth not the Blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God Cleanse from all sin? And if Christ be not in him, is he not a Reprobate? But Priest Bond saith, that F. E. left out some part of the Scripture, to wit, His Son, but Priest Bond himself hath left out more, but what will serve his own Turn. And as for his Lyes and filthy Language he may take it to himself.

S. B. saith, Sundry persons laught at Francis (to wit, when they were di∣sputing of the things of God.) Page 48, Page 49. he says, the Idol-Light,

Christ within: the Word Humane comprehends both Soul and Body, Page 49. But Priest Bond hath not proved with his Idol light within, Christs Soul and Body to be humane by the Scripture: is not the Soul Immortal? And is the Soul of Christ humane? and is humane Immortal? And in Page 50. Priest Bond is at humane nature again, and humane, and humane; but Priest Bond hath not proved by Scriptures any of these words, which he saith is his Rule.

Priest Bond, The Manichees Doctrine, namely, That Christ brought from Heaven an Invisible Body of Flesh and Blood, into the Womb of the Virgin. Un∣doubtedly the Quakers have drunk in this Poison originally from them—to ad∣vance the Idol light within. This Poison comes out of Priest Bonds Bottle, and he may take it home again, not the Quakers: For we own the true Jesus Christ, as both the Angel and the Apostles have declared, his Conception, Birth, &c. as he was of the Seed of David, &c.

Pr. Bond, This seducing Teacher doth not confess Jesus Christ of Nazareth— the Idol Light within Juggling, Cheat, &c. Page 52. These are Priest Bonds horrid Lies and Blasphemy, Christs flesh glorified in Heaven above; which precious Truths are worth nothing in the account of a Quaker. These are Priest Bonds Lies: And yet Priest Bond saith, That the Quakers do believe in Christs Body of Flesh and Blood, and that he did dye for sin, and rose again, and that he is mans only Saviour. See Priest Bonds mad confusion and contradiction in Page 53.

Priest Bonds bad words: Wickedly equivocate—Idol Light within—Le∣ger-demain—a Bratt hatcht in their Addle-Brain, Page 53. Idol Light with∣in, p. 55. Teach a denyal of Jesus of Nazareth—Lyers and False-Witnesses, Page 54. Enemies, Liers,—such Liers,—Seducing Quakers, Cursed Liers, Horrid Blasphemers, aim to make the Angels of Christ Liars. Again, They do in their meetings and aims make the Apostles of Christ Liers and False Witnesses of God, &c. the Idol-light within, Page 57. Here the Reader may see Priest Bonds foul Language, and his ravenous blasphemous spirit and lies against the Light within: And the Quakers own Christ Jesus within and without, as the Prophets and the Angels, and the Apostles have declared him: We do wit∣ness Christ, both his Birth, Death, and his Resurrection and Ascension.

Again, Priest Bond saith, The Light that is in every man (the Quakers rotten Principle) by natural generation, is not the true Christ, Page 58. And Page 8. in contradiction to himself saith, Its true, that by Light in that place of Scrip∣ture (viz. John 1. That was the true Light, which enlightens every Man that comes into the World, the true Christ and our only Saviour is meant. And yet see how often over he calls the Light of Christ an Idol Light within, and now a Rotten Principle, and the False Christ the Devil. But how doth

Priest Bond prove Christ the Light (which he confesses to be the only Sa∣viour, who enlightens every one that comes into the World) to be a Rot∣ten Principle, and by natural generation? and that he is not the true Christ, who enlightens every wan that comes into the world. And yet in Page 8. Priest Bond confesses, That the true Light that enlightens every man that comes into the world, the true Christ and our only Saviour is meant, John 1. For the Quakers never said, that this Light came by natural generation, which Light enlight∣ens every man that comes into the World, which is the Life in Christ our Sa∣viour.

More of Priest Bonds foul words; Lunatick, Crafty, Knave, Wedding-Cloaths faced with a dissembling madness; Quakers have learned their ignorant Disci∣ples to glory in their own flesh: Blasphemous contempt upon the glorified manhood, Page 59. These are Priest Bonds horrid Lies and madness. And yet S. B. saith in Page 21. That F. E. the Quaker, did believe, that Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among the people, whom the Jews slew, and God raised from the dead, and raised up into Heaven, is the true Christ and only Saviour: Yet in Page 59. thou saist, the bold and open wickedness of W. H. who did re∣flect blasphemous contempt upon the glorious manhood, &c. in Heaven above. Here dost not thou abuse the Quaker, who said he did believe and confess that Christ suffered in the Flesh, and was received up to Heaven as thou confes∣sest? Page 21. And Page 23. S. B. saith, W. H. called S. B's Christ an outside Christ; which W. H. denies: But Priest Bond calls the true Christ which is revealed from Heaven in his People, a Devil; and the Light of Christ in his People, an Idol; therefore what Christ is it that S. B. owns, but Antichrist? Priest Bond goes on in his foul words, Thou art blasphemous rude; ye make it your profest Religion to derogate from the true humane substance of the Lord's Christ— ignorant, seduced Quakers, Page 60. These are Priest Bond's Lies, and his own Blasphemies. As for the word Humane he hath not proved it by Scrip∣ture. Again, Priest Bond's foul words; With a Brazen Forehead, and seared Conscience, villifying the holy thing born of Mary, called the Son of God. And yet Bond confesses a little before, That the Quakers own Christ Jesus born of that Mary, both his death and resurrection, &c. And in Page 61. Open Deriders and Blasphemers, contemners of him (Christ) false Glossers: These are Priest Bonds foul words; which Lies he may apply to his self. Priest Bond saith, Page 62. F.E. shutes this Bolt, to wit, That the Deity was within him: and saith, that the Deity is in Cats and Dogs, as well as in F.E. which he hath not proved by Scripture.

P. Bond, The Legerdemain of seducing Quakers; baffling, prating Quakers, page 63. which foul words he had better applied to himself. S. B. F. East∣lacke said, 'Tis Christ in you, &c. Priest Bond scoffingly ask'd him, Whether

Christ was in his Lye—Legs, Brains or Bowels? An Idol light within, Blas∣phemer, the Quakers who glory in their own flesh; bitter, mocking, sarcastical, blasphemous, scorning, scoffing, quaffing Quakers; All this ungracious, filthy Language, proceeds from Priest Bonds Lying, Poisonous Tongue, Page 64. 65.

S. B. Thou saist, F. E. thou hast renounced both the Sacraments: Still the Idol Light within, Fanciful Principles, invisible Sacraments, Blasphemy, thy dreadful cursed Apostacy, Page 66, 67. These are Priest Bonds Lies and foul expres∣sions. Page 68. They deny Jesus of Nazareth the only Saviour. O thou poor sinner, that art deluded—Visible and Invisible hand-shaking of God.

Page 80. Stephen saw Christs humane body in Heaven above: Priest Bond with all his Lies, who saith, that Scripture is his Rule, hath not proved such a word as Humane in Scripture. Neither doth the Apostle say that Stephen mentioned a Humane Body, in Acts 7. But Stephen saw the Heavens open, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, being full of the Holy-Ghost: And the Quakers own Christ more than Priest Bond. Here are more of Priest Bonds railing words; Bruitish Disputants, Bruitish Principles, Lude Fellows of the more bruitish sort, Seducing Quakers; These are more of Priest Bonds lies and fil∣thy Language. W.W. desired Priest Bond to shew him an express Scripture, which saith, that the Beasts which Paul fought with at Ephesus, denyed the re∣surrection of the dead: And Priest Bond makes a great rambling in three or four Pages, and when he hath been beating the Air, he brings no express Scripture. Priest Bond saith. That the Body shall be raised spiritual, as Christs Body of flesh and bones, after the resurrection were spiritual, Page 72. And S. Bond saith, in Page 69. Stephen saw Christs humane Body in Heaven above: And doth not Priest Bond nick-name the Lord's Body, and call it humane over and over in his Book? And is humane spiritual? As in Page 50. [Humane Nature.] How doth he prove Christs Body Humane Nature? And now confesses that Christs Body of flesh and bones after the resurrection was spiritual, and yet humane; and also confesses, with W.B. the Quaker, who speaks concerning the Resurrection, It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritua•• body. And S. B. doth confess, in 1 Cor. 15. that the body shall be raised s••i∣ritual. So Priest Bond hath granted the Apostles and the Quakers Principles, and yet Priest Bond makes a great noise to no purpose in three or four Pages, and at last grants the thing, as in Page 72, 73. Priest Bond brings John 5. Christs saying, who saith, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is (Mark, now is) when the dead shall hear the voyce of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live, &c. Marvel not at this, for the hour is comming, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 which all that are in the Grave shall hear his voyce, and shall come forth; th•••• which have done good, unto the resurrection of Life; and they that have 〈◊〉〈◊〉 evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Here as Christ in John 5. and the

Apostle in 1 Cor. 15. this Resurrection the Quakers do believe and own as Christ and his Apostles have declared it; and yet S.B. wickedly saith, The Principles of a Quaker are the same, which are held and profest by the Beasts that Paul fought with at Ephesus, that denyed the Resurrection, that the Body of Christ was not raised from the dead: These are all Priest Bonds horrid Lies, and he hath contradicted and confounded himself, and saith, That Christs Body of flesh and bones after the Resurrection was spiritual, and the Body (to wit, of the Saints, 1 Cor.) shall be raised spiritual: and saith, that F. E. the Quaker did confess, that the Word took Flesh, and in that Flesh died for all men; and that Jesus of Nazareth was received up into Heaven, Page 22, 23. And Priest Bond brings Caril's saying, When the Body shall be raised again, it shall have many beautiful and glorious additions: so the Body laid down in the Grave, is raised not the same in all things (Page 73.) And Priest Bond saith, If the same Body that dies be not raised up, but another kind of Body, it cannot be Re∣surrection. Then he cries out Blasphemy, and saith, Flesh and Blood doth signi∣fie not natural flesh and blood, of which the Body is now composed and made up; as such it is corruptible, and cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. But what must we understand from S. B? That natural flesh and blood enters into the Kingdom of Heaven? Page 74. And doth not Priest Bond contradict himself, and Priest Caril also, Page 72. and 73. who saith, The Body is rai∣sed a spiritual Body? And Caril saith, It is not the same in all things, Page 52. the visible, material Body of Jesus Christ, and yet a spiritual Body, Page 72. And Page 75. In the Resurrection, the Body, &c. it will be spiritual, incorrupti∣ble, immortal, flesh and blood, fit to enter the Kingdom of God. Our Bodies from their natural state were spiritual. Again, Our Bodies shall not be raised natural, corruptible bodies, but spiritual, incorruptible bodies; and as such, they will be fit for Glory in the Kingdom of Heaven, Page 17. Here Priest Bond is made to confess at last fully the Quakers Principle concerning the Resurrection; and yet he contradicts himself, and saith, Stephen saw Christs humane Body in Heaven above, after he was risen, page 69. And Priest Bond saith, If it be another Body that was raised from the dead, then it is not the same Body that died, page 71. Yea, Priest Bond confesses, in Page 72. It is raised a spiritual Body: But S. B. is like one of those Fools spoken of, which Paul had to deal withal, for that which thou sowest thou sowest not, that Body that shall be, but God gives it a Body, &c. as it pleaseth him.

Priest Bond in Page 77. saith, That he hath been requested by some, &c. In these Islands, to make some Replyes to three or four Erroneous Principles held and professed by most Quakers.

First, That there is a State of perfect freedom from Sin in this Life. Priest Bond saith, for any man to infer, that either Noah or Job were perfect from all

Sin in this Life, would be a miserable perverting of Scriptures, Page 78. But God said, Job was a perfect and upright man, one that feared God and es••••ew∣ed Evil: And again, the Lord said, There is none like unto Job in the ••••••le Earth, a Perfect and upright Man, one that feared God and eschewed Evil. And Job did not sin with his Lips: Job the 2d. And did he not eschew Sin, if he eschewed Evil? And in what Life was his perfect State? And the Lord said, Noah was a just Man, and perfect in his Generation. Gen. 9. And Priest Bond tells of a Legal Perfection, as Adam's before the Fall, and a Comparative Per∣fection of Job's being only Perfect Comparatively in Comparison of all other Men, &c. But he has not proved his Legal Perfection and his Comparitively Per∣fect, in Scripture Words: So he adds to the Scriptures, and doth not be∣lieve, what God, and Christ, and the Apostles have said concerning Perfection. Or where did ever the Prophets, or God or his Son Christ Jesus declare, that Men and Women should not be perfect from Sin in this Life? Priest Bond should have brought the Scripture, and Chapter, and Verse for it. God said, Job was a perfect and upright Man: But Priest Bond saith; Not from Sin in this Life. David saith, Mark the perfect and upright Man, Psalm 37. But Priest Bond saith: There's no perfect and upright Man from Sin in this Life. But Priest Bond brings Job the Five and Twentieth, Bildad the Shuhite, who said to Job, How can a Man be justifyed with God? Or how can a Man be Clean, that is Born of a Woman? And Priest Bond says, This Question car∣ries a strong Denial; It cannot Possible be, or it is Impossible (viz.) To be perfect from sin. &c. And Priest Bond saith, As if Job had said, do but acknowledge that any one is born ordinarily of a Woman, and we may conclude him to be sinful and unclean, with (or in the Sight of God;) so far Priest Bond, Page 78. But, Reader, did not God say Job was a perfect and upright Man? And again, Reader, read the 25th. of Job, and thou wilt see, that it was Bildad the Shuhite, that contended with Job, who said, How can a Man be justify∣ed with God? Or how can a Man be Clean that is born of a Woman? So these were not Job's words, as Priest Bond basely would Father upon Job; for they were Bildad's Words, who contended with Job: and it is like all the rest of his Pleading against Perfection, and Pleading for Sin, and the Devil his Father, the Author of it. And God bid Araham walk before him and be Per∣fect. And Priest Bond saith, though Job, Noah, Jacob, Abraham, are said to be Perfect, yet it is not to be found in the Scripture, that God ever said of all or any one of them, they were Perfect, without sin in the World. Now is not this Doctrine of S. B's contrary to Scripture? For what Sin did God Charge Job and Abraham withal? Or old Jacob, Abel or Enoch withal? And Christ said, Be you Perfect as your Heavenly Father is Perfect. But Priest Bond saith, 'Tis an erroneous Principle, that there is an Estate of Perfection and freedom from

sin in this Life. And yet Priest Bond contradicts himself, and saith, The me••••••st Saint upon the Earth is like his Heavenly Father in Heaven. And the A••••••••le saith, in Rom. 6. Being made free from sin, are become Servants to God; Ye have your fruits unto Holiness, and the end Everlasting Life. Priest Bond tells the Apostle, that 'tis an erroneous Principle to be Perfect and made free from Sin in this Life; And when will Priest Bond be made free from his Sins, if not in this Life? What, will he be made free in the Papist's Purgatory? Where did ever the Apostles Preach such a Doctrine, that the Saints should not be made free from Sin in this Life? And the Apostle tells him, He that is Dead is free from Sin, Rom. 6. And now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall Live with him; yet as Priest Bond sa••th, Deduction of freedom from sin, (in the Saints in this Life) cannot from hence be drawn. Priest Bond saith, Now the State which accompanies the Resurrection of the Dead, excludes all Sin; The Saints shall then be Legally Perfect. But S. Bond has not proved his Doctrine by Scriptures: and what must we understand by S. Bonds Words? That the Saints which are Sanctified and made Holy while they be upon the Earth, must have Sin: which is of the Devil, and be Imperfect in this Life? Yet the Apo∣stle says to the Philippians 3. 1 Cor. Let as many as be Perfect, &c. Read 1 Cor. 2.6. Then S. B. falls upon his foul Language; seducing Quakers, Heretical Catharishes; and saith, Solomon makes a Challenge to all the World, Pro. 20.9. Who can say I have made my Heart Clean, I am pure from my Sin? But Solomon tells Bond in the same Chapter, The just man that walks in his integrity, his Children are blessed after him, and it is the Blood of Christ, that Cleanseth us from all Sin, without him we can do nothing. Again, John 1.1.8. This Proclamature is beyond Solomon's, If we say that we have not sinned we make Christ a Lyar. And Priest Bond saith, We that are of the new birth say: If we say we have not Sin, we deceive our selves, and the Truth is not in us. But this Priest Bond abuses John's Words, and John says 1.3. Whoso∣ever is Born of God, doth not commit Sin, for his Seed remaineth in him, and he cannot Sin because he is born of God: In this the Children of God are manifest, and the Children of the Devil. Now I Querie of Priest Bond, Whether there are any born of God whilst they are upon the Earth? and if so, whether they must believe John's Doctrine? And Priest Bond falls a Railing;—If the Quakers should be so stark mad, as to affirm all the Saints to be free from Sin, which Priest Bond saith, Cannot be meant a freedom from Sin, but only of the Trade and Custom of Sinning. I charge Priest Bond to bring forth the Chapter and Verse that says, For his Trade and Custom of Sinning. But the Apostle saith, If we say we have no sin, we deceive our selves, &c. And if we Confess our Sin, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our Sins, and to cleanse us from all (mark all) Unrighteousness. If we say we have not Sinned, we make him a Lyar,

&c. So here is a time for people to see they have Sinned, and to confess their Sins; and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses from all Sin (mark from all Sin.) Joh. 1. Priest Bond makes a great Pudder about Paul, who saith, O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of Death? Paul tells thee in Rom. the 7th. and the 8th. He thanks God through Jesus Christ, and saith, there's no Condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit, for the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the Law of Sin and Death: And he hath not seen iniquity in Jacob. Now Priest Bond Confounds himself, and grants, That believers may walk in the Commandments and Ordinances of the Lord blameless, that is to say, Rebukeless, [in regard of Men.] We speak Wisdom among them which are perfect, meaning however imperfect Weaklings. Doth not S. Bond abuse the Apostles words here, and add to the Scripture, Page 85. And again, That you may be blameless and harmless, the Sons of God, without Rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse Nation amongst whom they shine as Lights in the World, (mark that.) And Priest Bond saith (and Confounds himself) The Phrase Blameless, Simply in its own nature, will be so far from proving perfection of Grace, that it will not prove any truth of Grace; it will not therefore follow, that Elizabeth was Perfect without Sin: though Priest Bond Confesses she was blameless, and hath not charged her with what Sin she committed. Dost not thou confess she was Blameless and Righteous, &c. And did not Elizabeth Believe? Did not she say to Mary, Blessed is he that Believes? So Elizabeth was a Believer, as well as her walking blameless in all the Command∣ments and Ordinances of the Lord. But Saul who was a Blasphemer and Persecutor, was no Believer; therefore there's no Comparison with Saul and Elizabeth.

But Priest Bond saith, In the Day of Christs coming in Glory, the Saints shall be found of God in Peace, without Spot and Blameless: But not thus in this Life, p. 85. The Apostle saith, 1 Cor. 1.8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ; howbeit we speak Wisdom among them that are Perfect; for I Brethren could not speak un∣to you as unto Spiritual, but as unto Carnal, even as unto Babes in Christ, 1 Cor. 3. Where has Priest Bond learned this Lesson, that the Saints shall not be freed from Sin in this Life? Then how can they be kept blameless unto the Day of Christ, and not to be kept free from Sin, which is of the Devil? But as Bond saith, page 86. There is not a just Man upon the Earth; Solomon saith in the same Chapter, Be not righteous overmuch, be not overmuch wicked. So in a Man's own Righteousness and Justice he may Sin: But Christ Clean∣ses from all Sin, and doth that which the Law could not do; but Priest Bond saith page 87. There is in all true. Believers a cursed Root of bitterness,

which God doth mortifie, but not nullifie in this World; 'tis subdued, but not removed; 'tis cast down, but not cast out: though Grace makes the Com∣bate, yet Death only makes the Conquest over Sin.

We charge Priest Bond to prove this Doctrine by Scripture, his cursed Root of Bitterness in all true Believers, and that they shall never Conquer it till they Dye: and to prove that this was in Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Abel and Enoch, and in them that the Apostle said, We speak Wisdom among them that are Perfect. And has not Priest Bond given John the Lye, who says, whosoever is born of God, doth not commit Sin; for his Seed remains in him, and he cannot Sin; because he is born of God, 1 John 3.9. Now let Priest Bond prove, where ever the Apostle Preached such a Doctrine, as in all true Believers there is a cursed Root of Bitterness, mortified and not nullified in this World; Death only makes the Conquest over Sin. So we must understand, we must have this cursed Root of Bitterness, as long as the Believers live, according to Priest Bond's Doctrine, though he has not proved it by Scrip∣ture; and then how can they be kept blameless to the Day of the Lord, as in page 85? Priest Bond saith, 'tis an erroneous Principle for the Quakers to say that the Scriptures are not the word of God, in page 77. and page 87. he brings many Scriptures, and makes a great pudder, and abuses them, to prove it, but to no purpose, his declarative word of God, but he hath not proved such a word in Scripture: all Scripture is given forth by Inspiration of God, &c. 1 Tim. 3. Therefore saith Priest Bond, the Scriptures is the word of God, but that Scripture doth not say so, 2 Tim. 3. And in page 88. Priest Bond falls a Railing against Quakers, and saith, Is there any word asserted to be the word of Christ, but the written word of Truth? Doth not the Apostle say, that the Word of Faith, is nigh in the heart, let the word of Christ dwell in you, &c. Being born again not of corruptible Seed, but of Incorruptible, by the word of God, the word of God endures for ever; and are these Writings of the Letter? And Priest Bond saith, page 88. The Lord hath no other will (as a Rule of Obedience, than his will revealed in the written Scriptures) had the Lord no other will, or Rule of Obedience before the Scripture was written? Prove that by Scripture. Priest Bond runs into Lies, and foul words; the Quakers worship cannot be accepted of God, Quakers are under the power of Satan, gross, blind, and ignorant, the Cavil is idle and vain.) These Lyes Priest Bond may apply to himself: but where doth the Scripture say of themselves in so many words as S. B. doth, that the Scripiures are the in∣fallible standing Rule of his Faith and Life, and yet acts contrary to them; for the Scripture saith, The Holy-Ghost shall lead you into all Truth, and no Man knows the things of God, But the Spirit of God: and Holy Men spake forth Scripture as they were moved by the holy Ghost. And Priest Bond falls a

railing against Quakers Spirit, and calls it their Idol light within, seducing Quakers—is blind: These filthy ungodly words he had better apply to himself. Priest Bond saith, Because the Spirit is antecedent to the Scriptures, therefore none can walk in the Scriptures till they walk in the Spirit. This conse∣quence is lame, saith Bond, Page 90. Howbeit the Scriptures are before the Spirit in respect of aid and assistance. The Apostle doth not say so, in 1 Pet. 1. The Apostle tells you, The natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. So it is the Spirit of God that brings people both to discern the Scriptures, and to walk according to them; which Spi∣rit of God or Holy-Ghost was before they were written, which moved the holy men to give them forth. And Bond saith, To the Law and the Testimo∣ny (the Written Word) he adds Written Word; and yet he saith, Scripture is his Rule. And Bond saith, When the Spirit of Truth is come, it shall guide you into all truth of the Scriptures: And yet he saith, The Written Scriptures are the Infallible standing Rule of Faith and Life, page 89. 91. And how can the Scriptures be the Rule, and the Spirit of Truth must be the guide into all the truth of the Scriptures? And again Priest Bond contradicts himself, and saith, He affirms, that the matter contained in the Scriptures is the only in∣fallible standing rule of Faith and Life, Page 91. So then the Scriptures are not the only rule, but that which is contained in them: And what is that which is contained in them which is thy Rule, seeing the Holy-Ghost was in them, which moved them to speak them forth, and in them, that leads them into all the truth of them? But Priest Bond, is all the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelations thy Rule, and all that is contained in them? For the Scripture speaks of the Devils words, and bad men's words, as well as the good. Priest Bond saith, The People of God had no Word Written from Adam to Moses, and yet they had a Word given from God to be the rule, else their wor∣ship would have been (like the Quakers) Will-worship. If Priest Bond have not the same Word and Holy-Ghost, as they had, he cannot Worship God in Spirit and Truth, neither can he be born again of the incorruptible seed, but by that Word which lives, and abides, and endures for ever: And Will-worship is not the Quakers, who worship God in Spirit and Truth, but his own. In Page 92. Priest Bond is full of railing against Quakers, their Idol light within,—craftily thrown down the Scriptures, this Plot cannot be from the Spirit of Christ,—blind, rotten and wicked spirit,—your Light (that false Christ within). See how wickedly Bond torments himself, and blasphemes against the true Christ, and the Light in his people. Priest Bond saith, Where is that place of Scripture to be found, which saith, the Scriptures are to be tryed by the Spirit,—the Spirits are to be tryed by the Scripture, and not the Scripture

by the Spirit. Then Priest Bond, what Scripture had they to try withal from Adam to Moses, before the Scripture was written? And Priest Bond saith, It is the Holy-Ghost that leads into all truth of the Scriptures. Then it must try the truth of them, whether they be rightly translated or no: And the Spirit of God will not deny its own Words. And again Priest Bond saith, The Spirit witnesses in the Scripture. But where doth the Scripture say such words, That the Spirit witnesses in the Scripture? Priest Bond saith, The Spirit witnesses in the Scripture, that he is a righteous man who walks in all the Com∣mandments or Ordinances of the Lord, page 99. And page 87. Thou saith (in contradiction) There is in all true Believe•••• a cursed root of bitterness, and death makes only the conquest over sin. But we tell thee, That Christ through death destroys Death, and the Devil, the Power of Death, and makes an end of Sin. Then Priest Bond falls a railing, Quakers damnable delusion, hellish Impostor, that Idol light; for if they might herein prevail, and withal get into the Saddle, they would undoubtedly soon arreign, try, and condemn the inspired Bible of God to the Fire and Fagot. These are horrid malicious Lies, Blas∣phemed from Priest Bonds evil Tongue: For we have esteemed, and do own the Scriptures more than he or any of the persecuting Priests in New-England, who make a Trade of them, and keep people always under Teaching, that they may be always paying of them.

And Priest Bond saith, The spirits are to be tryed by the Scriptures, and not the Scrip∣tures by the Spirit, page 92. And in page 93. He contradicts himself, and confounds all again, The Holy and Blessed Spirit of God is above all Tryal. Priest Bond saith, We deny the written Scripture to be a witness-bearer to your Light within. See how Ignorant he is of the Scripture, 2 Cor. 4. God who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus: Mark the Light that shines in the heart, that is, the Light within that the Scriptures bear witness too. But I perceive the God of this World hath blinded Priest Bond's eye. And how can any man come to the knowledge of God and Christ, without the Light of Christ within shining in their hearts?

And Priest Bond falls on rayling, Idol light within, page 94. Seducing Quakers, Idol light of your own addle brains, Soul-deceivers, ye would lay a foundation of your own humane inventions: And yet Priest Bond calls Christs Body humane, which is his own Invention, and not Scripture: And unbloody Light within, Idolized light, hath no more real blood in it, than there is in the Transubstantiated blood of your Popish Brethren. Here the Reader may see what a rage and madness Priest Bond is in against the Light of Christ: And as for Popish Brethren, Priest Bond's language bewrays him, he is nearer to

them than the Quakers. And S. B. confesses in page 95. That the Word of God was manifest through Adam, and to Cain, and to Noah. Our Light with∣in is the Light of Christ, the Word by which all things were made and created; and in him was Life, and that Life was the Light of men: And this the Scriptures witness. But Priest Bond saith, The whimsey, called Light within, is the new devised ground of Faith. Christ who doth inlighten every man that cometh into the World saith, Believe in the Light, that you may become Children of the Light. And Christ is the author and finisher of our Faith; and the Light of Christ that he bids us believe in, is no Whimsey which Priest Bond blasphemes against. And in Page 96. Priest Bond makes a great pudder about the Soul of Man, and he saith, That the Quakers say, the Soul of Man is God in part: which are not the Quakers words. And then he saith, the Soul cannot be God: No Quakers ever said so. S. B. saith, The Soul of Man was made after Gods Image, It is a true Image, it is a very near and likely Image, which appears not only in the spiritual and immortal nature, of it, &c. All pure and righteous, conformed to Gods will; the Soul is a Spirit, &c. page 98. And when Priest Bond hath rambled over a great deal of Pages about the Soul, this he is made to confess, and the Quakers say; God breath∣ed into Man the Breath of Life, and he became a living soul: And so is not the Soul part of his Breath? And Priest Bond confesses, the Soul is a Spirit; and then is it not part of Gods Spirit from him. And the Light in Man, which is the Life of Christ the Word, by whom all things are made, Priest Bond saith, must be the Principle of true Religion in the Devils and damned: Oh hel∣lish Divinity and Doctrine! for even the Devils and damned live, and move, &c. page 96. These are Priest Bond's false conclusions: The Light which is the Life in Christ the Word, they that hate the Light their deeds are evil, and the Light is their condemnation; for it condemns the Devil who abode not in the Truth, in whom there is no Truth. S. Bond saith, That the Quaker doth conclude, that the invisible and Infinite Godhead is divided into parts: Then he cries thus, senseless are they of the gross absurdities. But we charge S. B. to quote the Book or the Man that ever said, the Godhead is devided into parts. Then S. B. falls a railing in page 99. The Idol light within. And in page 90. he makes many Comparisons, with his railing words, betwixt the Quakers and the Papists; Quakers light within, Quakers light within, infal∣lible Light within, infallible Spirit within, erroneous high blasphemy: Thus Priest Bond is in a rage and a fury against the Light of Christ, and his Infallible Spi∣rit within. But I ask Priest Bond and all his fellow Priests, whether the Light of Christ, and his Spirit within, and his Holy Ghost be infallible yea or nay? And whether he can call Jesus Lord without the Holy-Ghost? and whether he that hath not the Spirit of Christ, is Christs, yea or nay? And

what Brightman said of the Pope, Priest Bond may take it home to himself. And in page 98. The Quakers Light within, his Pope without. These are scornful expressions, and his Lies. In page 99, and an 100. Priest Bond saith, the Quakers denying of the Trinity or Three persons in one Deity, Three persons in one Godhead, Gen. 1. Let us make man, &c. But hath not Priest Bond made Four here, Three persons in one Deity, and one Godhead? S. Bond saith, No Man hath seen ••od at any time. Then how can he tell he is a Person then? and Christ saith, He is a Spirit. He saith The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are declared three Witnesses, &c. And why cannot Priest Bond own them so, but give other names to them? Bu•• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 all these Pages Priest Bond hath not proved his word Trinity, nor Three Pers••ns. The Scrip∣ture mentions Christs Person; but it doth not say, a Trinity in Three Persons. Is not Priest Bond ashamed to say, That Scripture is his Rules, and cannot prove his word Trinity, or Three Persons by Scripture, or in the Scripture? But the Quakers, according to the Scripture, do believe, that there is Three that bear Record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy-Ghost, and these three are one (mark) are one, which we own: And there are three that bear witness in the earth, the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood, and these three a∣gree in one, which we own, in 1 John 5.8. And Priest Bond goes on in his course of railing, Atheistical and Idol light within, which the Romish Nebu∣chadnezzar set up in teaching Quakers the Devil hath inspired.

S. B. Thus to blaspheme against the Light of Christ in his people, and yet he makes people believe that he would dye for the Name of Jesus, and dye like the glorious Martirs of Jesus, whereas he is persecuting the true Lord Jesus of Nazareth in his people like Saul, and blaspheming against the Light of Christ within his people, which they believe in; which shines in their hearts, to give them the light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ, 2 Cor. 4. And truly Priest Bonds Book is such a pack of Nonsence, and Contradictions, and Tautologies, that it is loath∣some, and noisome to the Reader; and in it there is more malice than mat∣ter, as any rational man may see by the foulness of his Spirit and Tongue; and his filthy Language, and ungracious and filthy words that his ungodly Book is stuft withal.

Priest Bond, I would have thee to prove, that the Holy-Ghost is a Person which proceeded from the Father and the Son, and leads into all Truth: And when the Holy-Ghost fell upon the Disciples in the time of Pentecost, did it fall upon them as a Person? And when it fell upon Cornelius's Family, did it fall upon them as a Person? And Christ tells the Disciples, that the Holy-Ghost the Comforter dwells with you, and shall be in you, John 14. And was this a Person? Acts 11. Acts 19. The Holy-Ghost fell upon, &c. So,

where ever did Christ or the Apostles call the Holy-Ghost a Person? S. B. is to prove this Word by Scripture, which he saith is his Rule.

Now concerning the Scriptures which Priest Bond calls the Word of God, first, doth not the Scripture signify Writings? And do not you teach your Chil∣dren so, that Scripture signifies Writings in your Catichisme? and Matthew the Book of the Generation of Jesus Christ, and Christ read in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, and in the Book of the Words of Isaiah the Prophet, Luke 3, and 4. and Luk. 4.17. Written in the Book of the Law, Gal. 3.10. and Written in the Book of the Psalms, Acts 1.20. And doth not Luke set forth a Declaration? Luke 1. And so doth he not call that a Declaration which he set forth? and so Daniel calls them the Scriptures of Truth, Daniel 10.21. And Mark calls them the Scriptures, Mark 12.10. and Luke 4.21. Christ calls them Scriptures, and John 2.22. and in Acts 1.16. The Apostle calls them Scriptures, Rom. 10.11. and 11.2. The Apostle calls them Scriptures, 2 Tim. 3.16. James 2.8. 2 Peter 1.20. Acts 17.2.11. Rom. 15.4. 1 Cor. 15.3. Here in all these places, and many more, Christ and the A∣postles calls them Scriptures, which signifies Writings Now Scriptures of truth, which signifies Writings, they are called the Words of God; God spake all these Words, Exod. 20. And Christ saith, John 3.34. The Words of God. And John 5.47. John 6.62. And John 8.20.47. John 10.121. John 12.47, 48. John 14.10.23.17.8. All these are concerning the Words. And Acts 2.14.5.20. 1 Tim. 4.6.6.3. The words in all these places, and many more, Revelations 1.3. that hear the words of this pro∣phecy; and until the Words of God shall be fulfilled, Revel 17.17. These Words are true, Revel. 21.5. Testifie saith John to every Man the words of the Prophecy of this Book, if any Man shall take away from the words of the Prophecy of this Book, &c. So here you may see the Scriptures are called Words, Books, Declarations, and the Writings, and Scripture; and are called the Words of God, and the Words of Christ; but Christs Name is called the Word of God, John 1.8. And again Christs Name is called the Word of God, Revelations 19.13. So here the Quakers own the Scriptures as they have been called by Christ and his Apostles, and the Pro∣phets. S. Bond saith, The written Word of God, the Scriptures are an infalli∣ble Rule of Faith and Life, Page 88. The matter contained in Scriptures is the on∣ly Infallible Rule of Faith and Life, Page 91. See here how Priest Bond con∣tradicts himself, Let the Word of Christ dwell in your hearts in all Wisdom, Coloss. 3. And what, Priest Bond, is this the Letter? Priest Bond saith, The Quakers worship cannot be acceptable to God, Page 89. These are Priest Bonds Lyes, for Quakers worship God in the Spirit and the Truth, as Christ com∣manded, and hath taught us, John 4. And Priest Bond saith, The Quakers

reproach the Lord, when they deny the Scriptures to be the Word of God, Page 88. And yet Priest Bond contradicts himself in Page 87. and saith, We do not affirm the Scriptures to be the Word of God, but as the written Scriptures do declare the Mind of God to us. So here Priest Bond is made to confess the Quakers principles; but presently after he confounds it again, and saith, The Scrip∣ture is the Word of God. And then contradicts himself again, and saith, The matter therein contained is the declaritive Word of God, Page 87. Priest Bond saith, the Quakers are apt to say there is no sin Charged upon Zachariahs Wife, who was Righteous and blameless; but saith Priest Bond, Death took hold, as well of her as of him, which is the wages of sin, Rom. 6. So what must we under∣stand from Priest Bonds words? Here they that put off the Earthen Tabernacle, and dye in the Lord, that natural death is the Wages of Sin, Rom. 6.23. But let the Reader see how he abuses the Scripture, for the Wages of sin is death: But saith the Apostle, Now being made free from sin, and become the Servants of God. This is while they were upon the Earth alive, and is it not a denying of Christ that dyed for Sin to say that Death took hold of Eli∣zabeth as well as Zachariah, and so upon all other People (to wit) a natural death, and that natural death which is the wages of sin, as in Page 86. where he perverts Rom. 6. But the Saints and we tell Priest Bond, Christ dyed for our Sins, and is risen for our Justification; and so whether we live or dye we are the Lords; and if we dye we dye in the Lord; and Blessed are they that dye in the Lord. Priest Bond, They have a Light of direction from the Law of the Creation, and this Light is clear and full enough to make them Guilty, in Page 82. But Priest Bond, dost not thou call this Light within an Idol Light, Page 90? And where doth the Scripture call the Light of Christ, a Law of the Creation, or a natural Light? And Priest Bond, thou saist in Page 81. The Gentiles which have not the Law, do by nature the things contained in the Law. There is naturally in all Men as such a Light of direction or natural Light. And Priest Bond, dost not thou call this a Natural Light, or by Generation, this Law written in the Gentiles hearts, as thou saist in Page 81. But who writ the Law in the Gentiles hearts? and how doth this Light come by nature or generation? prove this by express words in Scripture which thou callest thy rule, Noah was a just and a perfect man, &c. Job was a good and perfect man. And Priest Bond saith, to infer, and say, that Noah or Job were perfect from all Sin in this Life, would be a miserable perverting of other places of Scripture, &c. Page 78. And in Page 87. There is in all true believers a Cursed Root of bitterness not cast out, Death only makes the Conquest over sin. God said only Noah was a just and p••rfect man; Job was perfect and upright; and dost not thou here pervert the Scripture, who saist contrary to the Lord? And yet thou saist so, then the perfect man is the upright and sin∣cere

hearted man, and how can he be upright and sincere hearted, and have a Cursed Root of Bitterness in him? And we never did affirm that Job, or any did own their own perfection, but the perfection which is of God and Christ. Priest Bond saith to prove Resurrection. F. E. said, that the Scripture saith, that which thou sowest is not that Body which shall be. Priest Bond saith, Wool died in Scarlet is the sa••e Wool for substance as it was before, &c. Page 72, 73. And then in Page 75. Priest Bond confounds all again, who saith, in the Resurrection the B••dy will be Spiritual, Incorruptable, Immortal Flesh and Blood. And in Page 69. Priest Bond saith, Stephen saw Christs humane Body of Flesh and Blood, Priest Bond saith, The Quakers say that the Body of Christ was not raised from the Dead, and that no mans Body should be raised from the Dead. These are horrid Lies, Page 69. And Page 71. Priest Bond saith, that Fran∣cis Eastlack saith, We do deny the Resurrection of the Dead. But his Lies are sufficiently said, though he basely abuses the Quakers, in saying we deny the Resurrection of the Dead, or the Resurrection of Christ; but we do not look up••n Priest Bonds words to be any slander, and therefore we do not matter what he saith: And we say, the same that did descend, did ascend, and is glorified in his glorious and Spiritual Body, at the Right hand of God, who will change our vile Bodies, and make it like unto his glori∣ous Body. Priest Bond saith, Had not Christ a real humane mankind Body af∣ter he Rose? Page 68. And in Page 75. In the Resurrection the Body will not be so, it will be spiritual, incorruptable, immortal flesh and blood. But Priest Bond, how dost thou make this hang together, Humane Mankind Body, yet Spiritu∣al body, Immortal flesh and blood, Page 56, and 67. Thou usest many lying Arguments, that the Quakers should not believe the record that God gives of his Son, namely, that Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God, &c. The Lamb of God which takes away the Sins of the World, these are all horrid Lyes which Priest Bond makes his Refuge. But how doth Priest Bond believe in Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the Sins of the World? Who saith, The Saints shall not b•• made free from all Sin in this Life, and there is in all true Believers a Cursed Root of bitterness not cast out, Death only makes the Conquest over Sin. Then how doth Christ take away the Sins of the World, and make an end of Sin. And Priest Bond hath not proved in Page 66. his Baptizing of Children with Water; and that outward Water is one of the three Witnesses spoken of by John; and W. W. the Quaker said, both Baptisme and the Lords-Supper was within. Priest Bond saith, It is sup∣posed so hot with two Wives; this is like Priest Bonds base Spirit; for is not Baptisme with Fire and the Holy-Ghost within? and doth not Christ say, I stand at the Door and knock, and if any Man will hear my Voice and open the Door, I will come into him, and sup with him, and he with me. Is not this Sup∣per

within? Revel. 3. Therefore how dare he say, that the Quakers deny both the Sacraments? and hath not proved that outward Water and outward Wine to be a Sacrament; nor the Word Sacrament a Scripture Word? Priest Bond saith, That the Spirit, as such, never Justified any Saint from Sin in the Sight of God, much less such as F. E. was, who never had the Spirit of God. In this Priest Bond hath shewed his Rash Ignorance of the Scripture; for God poureth out of his Spirit upon all Flesh, Acts 2. and Joel 2. And doth not God Justify his People from Sin by the Spirit of Faith, which Faith? is the Victory; in which Faith they please God and have access to him.

And Priest Bond, thou saist Paul infers, though we have known Christ after the Flesh; yet henceforth know we him no more, 2 Cor. 5.16. Priest Bond saith, in Page 64. The Flesh (i. e.) after worldly greatness, and honour, Creature, Pomp and Dignity; in which sence Flesh is understood in. Reader dost thou think this meaning of Priest Bond is right concerning Jesus of Nazareth, the Lamb of God, who takes away the Sins of the World? for did Christ ever receive the Worldly greatness and Honour, Creature, Pomp and Dignity? Doth not Christ say, He was not of this World? He testified against this World, that their Works were Evil. Priest Bond saith, All such as stand in a Covenant of Works, as the Quakers do. And yet in Page 61. W.W. confesses to Christ, in them the hope of Glory, the Quakers are in the Covenant of Grace, the Light and Life, which Light thou Blasphemously calls an Idol, as in Page 64. Priest Bond brings Jeremiah, Chap. 25. God is at Hand, &c. And Psalm 139.7, 8. David saith, Whither shall I go from thy Spirit, &c. If I make my Bed in Hell, behold, thou art there, &c. So Priest Bond saith, The Deity filleth all places, Creatures and things in Heaven, Hell, the Sea, and the Earth. But Priest Bond, doth the Deity fill the Devils in Hell in whom there is no Truth, If he fills all things in Heaven and Hell? Is not the Deity Truth, Page 63? Priest Bond saith, Christ made a Scourge of small Cords, and Whipt sundry persons that sold Doves in the Temple, in Page 59.61. Why should the Lawful Magistrate Scruple to follow Christs example, to whip W. H. the Quaker? We believe that Priest Bond would have the Magistrates to be Whipping, like the New-England Priests; but we hope the Magistrates of Burmudas will be wiser. But S. Bond would be at whipping; Doth not he deserve to be Whipt, who calls Christ a Devil? and his Light within an Idol? Priest Bond, thou saist in Page 57. They do in their Meetings and Aims, make the Angels, and the Apostles of Christ Lyers. These are all horrid Lies; for we own Christ Jesus, according as the Angels and A∣postles have declared him, more than Priest Bond. And Priest Bond saith a∣gain, As if the Lord Christ had said, all Men are Flesh and Blood, so dull sight∣ed and blind, that they could never have received his Truth by any Study or Obser∣vation, it comes only by Gift and Revelation, John 6.62. Peter saying to Christ,

Thou art the Son of the living God. And yet in page 55. Priest Bond contra∣dicts himself, and saith, that Christ was both seen and heard with the bodily eyes and ears of a Woman with whom he conversed. What, Priest Bond, without the Gift and Revelation did she know him to be the true Christ? and if she had not had something more than her outward eyes and ears, she would not have left her Water Pots. And Priest Bond goes often over in his Book, telling the Quakers of the spiritual heavenly man, and of eternal flesh and blood, and their everlasting Gospel, and this thou calls the Quakers Idol light within, page 57. And in page 56. Invisible flesh and blood: And again, spiritual in∣side Christ. Here the Reader may see how Priest Bond utters forth his own folly; for he confesses Christ to be the heavenly spiritual man himself, and im∣mortal flesh and bone, page 75. And the Apostle saith, Christ is in you except you be Reprobates. But it seems Priest Bond's Gospel is not everlasting: The Apostle saith it was everlasting, and so do the Quakers: And Priest Bond, one while he saith the Flesh is Humane, and another while it is spiritual; but whether or no doth Priest Bond eat and drink Christs Humane Flesh and Blood as he calls it? And Priest Bond saith, to teach a denyal of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, a man approved of God, to be the true Christ and our only Saviour. This the Quakers never did, nor never was in their thoughts to deny, the Lord knows; and therefore Priest Bond cannot charge it upon the Quakers, as in page 54. Priest Bond, thou saist page 53. that Christ is the true Jacobs Ladder, John 1.51. But let the Reader read John 1.51. there is no such saying in that Verse: And thou saist, the bottom of which (to wit) the Ladder, there is his humanity or vail of flesh and blood; and the top reaches to Heaven, and there is his Divinity: But where must we find these words of Priest Bonds in Scripture, which he saith is his Rule? And where doth the Scripture call the Blood of Christ, a Vail, which cleanseth from all sin, and sprinkles the Conscience from dead works, &c? Priest Bond saith, The visible material body of Jesus Christ is not the Saviour, &c. page 52. This he charges upon some of the Quakers; but he hath not quoted the Page where we shall find it: So we believe he hath wronged their words. But is the visible material Body of Christ the only Saviour without God? And Priest Bond saith in page 72. Christs Flesh and Bones, after the Resurrection, was spiritual and im∣mortal Flesh and Bones, page 75. And he saith visible and material in page 52. And Priest Bond saith in page 53. I have often heard some of them to af∣firm, that the Quakers do believe in Christs Body of Flesh and Blood; and that he dyed for sin, and rose again, and that he is mans only Saviour: Yes say we, the Quakers never believed otherwise, and can praise God through Jesus Christ, who is our Saviour and way to God; for the Quakers always affirm, that Christ as he was Man, dyed and tasted death for every Man once for all,

and rose again, and sat down at the right hand of God: And yet Priest Bond confesses, That very offering of Jesus Christ could not save us, but by the will and ordination of the Father. Here he is made to confess the Quakers Principles according to the Scripture (Priest Bond saith) this Blood of Christ cleanseth all right believers from all sin; and yet he saith, None can be made free from sin in this Life; and there is in all true Believers a cursed root of bitterness not cast out, Death only makes conquest over Sin, page 87. And page 47. The Blood of Christ cleanseth all right Believers from all sin: What contradicti∣on is this! And again he saith, And Christ, &c. washed us from our sin in his own Blood. And Priest Bond saith again, The cleansing or washing cannot be within, but without us: But this Priest Bond hath not proved in so many Scripture words; and though Christ was a Sacrifice, and his Flesh and Blood suffered without upon the Cross, yet Christ tells Priest Bond, If he do not eat his Flesh, and drink his Blood, he hath no life in him; and if Christ be not in him he is a reprobate. And doth Christ justify Reprobates? And is not the Sin within a Man? And must not the Blood sprinkle the Conscience from dead works, &c? And Priest Bond saith, to be cleansed from all sin by the Blood of Jesus Christ: So here Priest Bond he hath left out his Son: And in page 47. and 46. he is finding falt with F. E. for leaving out his Son: But Priest Bond saith, is to be understood for a cleansing from all the guilt, &c. But hath Priest Bond no guilt when he commits sin? But where doth the Scripture say, that Christ cleanseth from the guilt of sin only? and that we must have sin while we be in the world? and in all true Believers there is a cursed root of bitter∣ness not cast out, Death only makes a conquest over Sin? And Priest Bond, what, doth this cursed root of bitterness bring no guilt of Sin? But we say, Christ who hath taken away the Curse, and redeemed us from under the Curse of the Law, cleanseth from all sin.

Priest Bond saith, page 46. The Pharisees took Divine honour to themselves, and thereby received honour one of another. Christ said, ye receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that comes from God only, John 5. But thou wrongs the Scriptures; for Christ doth not say, the Pharisees received Di∣vine honour to themselves, thou adds that to the Scriptures. But what is the honour thou would have from the Quakers, thou would have them to say you to thee, and put off their Hats to thee, &c. would thou? And if so, prove such a practice by Scripture which thou calls thy Rule. And S. Bond saith, He that made Heaven and Earth, Angels, Principalities and Powers, that hath a name above every name, that is named King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the Prince and only Saviour that gives repentance and remission of sins, is in each of your vile bodies (to wit) you Quakers. Then Priest Bond falls a rail∣ing, and saith, Is it not to be wondred at, that they are so possest with the infernal

sulfer of pride against Jesus of Nazareth. These base words Priest Bond may apply to himself: But we are not ashamed to confess Christ Jesus, who is our only Saviour, who is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, who rules in our hearts by Faith, who is ascended above all Principalities and Powers, by whom all things were made, whom the Angels worships; I say, this Christ Jesus of Nazareth rules in our hearts, and is revealed in us, and the Son of God is come, and we are in him, as John witnessed; and there∣fore all Priest Bonds scoffing, lying words are returned back again upon himself, and so we know that our Bodies are Members of Christ, and Tem∣ples of the Holy-Ghost, 1 Cor. 6. And the Apostle said. Ye are the Temples of the living God, who saith, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people: And we have the comfort of the Scripture, 2 Cor. 6. And if this Christ which we own be not in Priest Bond, then he is a Reprobate. Priest Bond saith, In all Places and Countries, the generality of Quakers do purposely use these words, THEE and THOU, and deny all reverential respect to all sorts of men; these things the unmannerly Qua∣kers will do: but the Scriptures do command all men to pray for Rulers, and to submit unto them, and to give the honour thats due unto them: And therefore saith Priest Bond over and over, The Light of the Scriptures doth reprove them. Page 41. 42, 43, 44, 45. He makes a great pudder about THOU and THEE, but to no purpose; Doth THOU and THEE dishonour Magistrates? and to say YOU to them, is that the true honour and reverence that belongs to them? If so, let Priest Bond prove it by Scripture, which thou saist is thy Rule. And thou saist, The Quakers seeming Sanctity consists in thee and thou, That is false; for Christ is our Sanctification: and thee and thou is according to the Scripture, &c. And three times over in the fortieth Page, Priest Bond saith, That we deny Jesus Christ of Nazereth, born of the Virgin Mary, which are all horrid lies (in Page 40. and 41.) For we own Christ Jesus more than he. Priest Bond saith, that John Crook said, it was the Light within that was Cru∣cified without the Gates of Jerusalem: These are more Lies; for Christ suf∣fered in the Flesh without the Gates of Jerusalem, who enlightens every Man that comes into the World, and was quickned by the Spirit. Bond runs into his wicked words, and tells of an Inside Christ: but he hath not proved such a word in Scripture, Page 39. And Priest Bond saith, The inspired Scriptures of God are against the feigned Light of Christ within them, But Priest Bond hath brought no Scripture against the Light of Chirst shining in our Hearts, which gives us the knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Christ our Savi∣our: And so it was the Apostles Doctrine, and reaching to bring People to the Light of Chirst, which shined in their Hearts, which Light of Christ, thou callest an Idol and a feigned Light Christ within, Page 38. which thou hast

not proved by Scripture, which thou callest thy Rule; and by it thou art re∣proved. And Christ is manifest in us by his Spirit. Priest Bond, But all things reproved are made manifest by the Light of the Scripture, Scripture Light. Then how chanced it, the Jews were not reporved by Scripture Light? And what reproved before Scripture was written? or them that have not nor had not the Scripture? Had people no Light to reprove before the Scripture was written? And Priest Bond saith, Every one that doth evil, hates the Light, &c. By the Light Christ, Understand the Doctrinal Light contained in the written Scripture of the New-Testament. But Priest Bond, prove that the New-Testa∣ment was written when Christ Preacht that Doctrine, in John 3. And every one that doth evil, hates the Light, and will not come to it. Hath every one the Scriptures, that doth evil in the World? Prove that Priest Bond, who saist, that Scripture is the Light; for do not the Scriptures declare, that Christ enlightens every one that comes into the World? Priest Bond saith, That the True Christ hath stopped F. E's Mouth, and yet F. E. and he disputes over and over in his Book afterwards. And then Priest Bond goes to his Lies and Blasphemous Language, False Christ, the Devil, Christ within is the false Christ the Devil, Page 36. And yet Priest Bond is made to confess in Page 21. 23. that F. E. the Quaker did confess the word took Flesh, and in that Flesh dyed for all Men, and further, F. E. did believe, that Jesus Christ of Nazareth, a Man approved of God amongst the People, whom the Jews hanged and slew, and God raised from the dead, and al∣so received up into Heaven, was the true Christ and only Saviour. And yet Priest Bond saith in the same 21. Page, That the Scriptures of Truth doth plainly charge the generality of Quakers with the guilt of the Sin against the Holy-Ghost, because they have sinned willfully, after a Profession openly made of Faith in the Lord Christ, born of the Virgin Mary, &c. See the Priests contradictions here in F. E's confession, as Priest Bond prints them: But these are all horrid Lies; for we are in the same Faith, which Christ Jesus is the Author and Finisher of; and the Scripture charges us with no such thing which he falsly perverts and misapplies; they are better applied to himself in sinning against the Holy-Ghost, who calls Christ within, a Devil, and an Idol-Light, which will be his own Condemnation, Then he is making a pudder about Christs humane nature, and yet cannot give a Scripture to prove it, as in Page 55. And yet he saith, Christs Body of flesh and bones, after the Resurrection, was spi∣ritual, Page 72. And in Page 69. He saith, Stephen saw Christs Humane Body above. Are not these contradictions? And the Apostle saith, All things were made by Jesus Christ, and all things were made by the Word, and Christs Name is called the Word of God. Priest Bond saith to F. E. It is strange that thou wilt produce a Christ for Evidence in whom thou dost not believe, Page 34. And in Page 40. They deny that Jesus Christ was come into the Flesh And in Page

21. 23. They confess Christs coming into the Flesh. Thou saist, and here thou contradicts thy self, and saith and unsaith, and belies the Quakers.

Priest Bond, thou brings Christs Words, I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfect in me (to wit) Christ, (i. e.) that is in oneness of Affections; but affections he hath added, and what Affections them are he hath not declar∣ed, Page 34. Yet thou saist, The Saints must have sin in them as long as they live, and shall not be made free from Sin in this Life, and there is a Cursed Root of Bitterness in all true Believers, and not Cast out, Death only makes Con∣quest over Sin, Page 87. So it is not Christ that makes an end of Sin, and his Blood that cleanseth from Sin, and make their Garments white, and gives Victory and Conquest; but it is death, according to Priest Bonds Doctrine, that Conquers Sin. And thou saist, If the Man Christ Jesus had not first given himself a Ransome for our Sins, &c. Page 32. And then thou saist, You must not be free from Sin in this Life. What contradictions are here And how art thou reconciled to God, and pleads thou shalt not be made free from Sin in this Life, which is of the Devil: And Christ enlightens every Man that comes into the World, who is the Redeemer, which Light thou callest an Idol Light within. The Quakers say, thou that hates the Light of Christ, and calls it an Idol, thou hates thy Redeemer, and Christ (from whence it comes) who Redeems, Sanctifies, Washes and Justifies. Priest Bond saith. Page 31. That F. E. saith, He was Washed and Justified from Sin in some measure; Is any man Justified, but according to the measure of Faith? And thou finds fault with measure or degrees, and yet thou usest the same word degrees, Page 31. And thou saist, That our Justification from Sin was once finished and perfected without us, on the Cross, with the Offering of the Body of Christ Jesus once for all; and Christ gave himself a Ransome for all, &c. This the Quakers believe; But did Christ give himself a Ransome for all? And was he an Offering for all Men? And how can Priest Bond say, Christ hath Justified him from his Sin, or Washt him from his Sin, when he saith, He shall not be free from Sin, (which is of the Devil) in this Life? And yet he finds fault with F. E. who said, He was Washed and Justified from his Sin in some Measure; and calls it a dangerous Doctrine; and saith, Jesus Christ of Nazareth hath once by his own Crucified Body without us on the Cross, finished Transgression, and made an end of Sin. (Mark) made an end of Sin. And Priest Bond saith again, They shall not be made free from Sin in this Life; and there is in all true Believers a Cursed Root of bitterness not cast out, death only (mark only) makes the Conquest over Sin: and yet Christ hath made an end of Sin. Then how can Priest Bond say, Christs Death makes an end of Sin, as in Page 31. When they cannot be made free from it in this Life, it must be Death that must end it? So you may see what conrtadiction he

makes, and what confusion he is in. Priest Bond grants, that we could not he saved without the operation of his Spirit in us; and yet Christ within is a Devil, and his Light is an Idol Light he saith: And the Quakers own no other Christ within, but what the Apostles Preacht both without and within. Priest Bond saith, It is the Spirit that quickens, John 6.63. But Priest Bond hath not proved this. Is not Christ who is the Saviour of the Soul a quickning Spi∣rit? as it is written, the first Adam was made a Living Soul; The second A∣dam was made a quickning Spirit. 1 Cor. 15.47. But Priest Bond saith, Though the Spirit be a dead Souls quickner, yet it is not the quickned Souls Savi∣our, Page 26. So then Christ the second Adam, who is a quickning Spirit, is not the Souls Saviour, according to Priest Bonds Doctrine. And Priest Bond makes a great deal of pudder in several Pages, concerning eating Christs Flesh, and drinking his Blood, who saith, Except ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his Blood, yee have no Life in you. Now we that eat the Flesh of Christ, and drink his Blood by Faith, and have Life and Christ in us, this Christ Priest Bond saith is a Devil, and his Light is an Idol.

And Priest Bond falls a Railing against the Quakers, in Page 20. and saith, Crucifying of the Son of God: Crucifying of him again, &c. And have trod under foot the Blood of the Son of God. But Priest Bond, is not this thy own condition, and not the Quakers, who calls Christ and his Light within his peo∣ple an Idol, the Devil, And saist, The Saints shall not he made free from Sin in this Life? and the Apostle said, That the Blood of Christ Jesus the Son of God cleanseth from all Sin. And Priest Bond makes a great deal of Pudder in three or four Pages concerning the Seed, in Page 19. Christ we say, is the Seed of the Woman which bruises the Serpents Head; and Christ is the Seed of A∣braham, in which seed all Nations are blest: and if ye be Christs, then are yee Abrahams Seed, and heirs according to the promise, and are the Children of God by Faith in Christ Jesus. And we tell Priest Bond, Christ is the Seeds∣man: And he may read in the Scriptures, what Christ calls the Seed that he sows: and the good Seed are the Children of the Kingdom.

Priest Bond, thou saist, Christ in you, the cause being put for the effect by a Metonyma; but he hath not proved the word Metonyma by Scripture, that he hath added; in Page 18. And Priest Bond makes a great stur, Page 17. Of Christ being in his People; but why cannot he own the Apostles words, as they speak plainly, which are better than his meanings, as in 2 Cor. 13. Coloss. 1.27. and Amos 2.13. Genesis 6.6. And there he is giving his mean∣ings upon those Scriptures, which are plain enough without his meanings and dark imaginations, who pretends Scripture to be his Rule, and the peo∣ple must take his meanings to be the Rule. And Priest Bond saith, The Light within doth Justify the vilest Antichrists that are this day in the World; The

Light within, which is by natural Generation in Reprobates, is not the true Christ, Page 16. saith Priest Bond. (Answer) These are Priest Bonds horrid Lies and Blasphemies. Christ who enlightens every man that comes into the World, Condemns the Antichrists, and the wicked, and the Reprobates, that hate it and do not believe in it: And this Light doth not come by natural Generati∣on, as Priest Bond scoffingly saith; but the Light is called the Life in Christ the Word, by which all things were made, John 1. Page 16. And yet Priest Bond confesses in contradiction to himself and saith; It is true, by Light (To wit) Christ which enlightens every man that comes into the World is meant the true Christ and only Saviour, Page 8. And Priest Bond goes over and over, and scoffingly and Blasphemously saith, Christ within is a Devil; which he might as well have reflected on the Apostles, as on the Quakers: for the Quakers own the true Saviour manifest in them, as he was in the Apostles and Saints in their days: And it is false to say, That we make no distinction betwixt Christs Godhead and Christs Manhood, as in Page 12. Priest Bond, thou saist Page 10. But as for your Idol Light Christ, it was never visible, but ever in∣visible. So here Priest Bond hath set up an Invisible Idol of his own making, in Page 10. And yet in Page 8. S. Bond saith, It is true that by Light in that place of Scripture, the true Christ and our only Saviour is meant, John 1. And in Page 10. An Invisible Idol. Priest Bond saith Page 8. A Quaker attributes no more Soul-saving Merit to the Body of Jesus, than to the Body of a Turk or a Jew. These horrid Lyes Priest Bond hath Forged, which Lyes of his was never the Quakers thoughts; For God prepared Christ a Body to do his Will, and to fulfill his Will, &c. who was a sacrifice for the Sins of the whole World, and dyed, and rose again, and sits at the Right Hand of God: and yet Priest Bond made to confess that the Quakers say, That the Word took Flesh of the Virgin, and that he suffered without the Gates of Jerusalen, &c. And therefore Priest Bond is to prove, who ever said, That the Body of Christ at∣tributes no more Soul saving Merit than to the Body of a Turk or a Jew. And again Priest Bond saith, I do acknowledge (with him (to wit) the Quaker that the effects of Christs death and sufferings are to be inwardly Witnessed within us, Page 8. And yet Chirst within is a Devil, & his Light an Idol within, How agrees the Blasphemy with the Confession? And who is it that works? Doth not Christ work inwardly in his People, by his Faith, Light and Spirit? And Priest Bond hath made a great stir in three or four Pages about the False Christ; and he may apply all these Pages to himself, for they do not at all con∣cern the Quakers. And all his Lies, and Slanders, and filthy calumnies, and his ungracious filthy Language in his Book; doth manifest him to be no Minister of the Gospel, but a Minister of soul Language and Lies, neither hath he proved the Quakers principles to be erroneous, but hath manifested his own erroneous Principles 75 times over.

Priest Bond saith, The Quakers in Burmoudos Tryed, found guilty, Sentenced and Executed; But Priest Bond here is both False-witness, False Accusor, and Flase Judge and Party: and yet accuses Francis Eastlack, and saith, He that was the Party, made himself the determinating Judge, Page 6. But the Quakers are clear of all his Slanders, and he is found Guilty of all the false Charges, that he would falsly Charge upon the Quakers in Burmoudas, and o∣thers that he hath mentioned and wronged in his wicked Lying Book; and therefore he may take them home, for they are fittest for him, and his Condemnation with the Light of Christ.

Priest Bond saith, As I was about to read some of G. F's Doctrine, they grew impatient, and by no means would have it read; thereupon I did forbear: But I have here inserted it, to wit, G. Fox in his Boook entituled the Mystery, Page 49. 50. Hath these words,

Ye scorn me the Light in you, they have diso∣beyed it, and called it a natural Light, and ye have said, that I the Light am not able to save these that believe in me. Furthermore Page 54. that if ye would believe, and wait on me the Light, I will purge out all your iniquity, and forgive all your Trespasses, and I shall change your natures if you hearken to me, and obey the Light within.

These are the words I would have read; but being hindred, &c. (Answer) These are Priest Bonds horrid Lies; for there is not one of these words in all the Pages of G. F's Book which Priest Bond brings. S. Bond, thou brings G. F's query which any that reads G. F's Book may see, which he queries of the Priest, F. Higinson, Where doth the Scripture speak of Humane, the word Humane where is it writ∣ten? tell us, that we may search for it? S. B. forger of these Lies. Now we do not deny that Christ, according to the Flesh, was of Abraham, but not the word Humane; and Christs Nature is not Humane, which is Earthly, for that is the first Adam: And this is G. F's answer to Higinson, who said, That Christs Nature was Humane, &c. And S. Bond in Page 50. makes a great pudder about it; but instead of proving of it, (which he hath not by Scrip∣ture, but hath made the matter worse (and saith,) G. F. puts no difference betwixt Humane and Humane, which S. Bond hath proved neither of these words by Scripture, which he calls his Rule. And when he hath been beating the Air, he confesses, We have not such a Word: And yet S. B. saith, Having the thing, who contradicts himself; but he hath not proved it. And again, S. Bond saith, Christ is also said to be from Heaven, (Page 50.) and yet Hu∣mane? And again (Page 69.) S. Bond saith, Stephen saw Christs humane Body in Heaven, Acts 7. Here thou wrongest the Scripture and Stephen, for there is not the word Humame in Acts 7. But Stephen being full of the Holy-Ghost, looked up stedfastly into Heaven, and saw the Glory of God and Jesus standing on the Right Hand of God, and said, behold, I saw the Heavens opened, and the

Son of Man standing at the Right Hand of G d; So he saw Christ being full of the Holy-Ghost: And yet Priest Bond saith, Chirsts Flesh and Bones was Spiritual after he was Risen, Page 72. And the Quakers say, The Word of God is nigh thee, even in thy Mouth and in thy Heart, which is the Word of Faith that we and the Apostle preacht. And S. Bond saith, &c. I do not apprehend in Rom. 10.6. &c. How these verses do answer the argument of any one of them, which proves a Quakers pretended Saviour within to be a false Christ, the Devil, Page 13. Or how they preve the pretended Saviour within to be the true Christ; and yet Priest Bond saith, As the righteousness of Faith is the Redeemer a∣gainst all doubts of Salvation, &c. But Priest Bond, is not this Righteousness of Faith within the Hearts of Gods people? And hi Page 15. S. Bond contradicts himself, and saith, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shall believe in thy heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, that is to say, the word of Faith Preacht is nigh in our Mouths. We have received Christ whom God hath revealed in our hearts, and hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying Aba Father, Gal. 4. this we witness, 2. Cor. 13. Now S. Bond finds fault with G. F. for using the word their for our, as in Page 51. and saith, It is contrary to the Apostle. But in page 15. Priest Bond uses the word is nigh in our Mouths, instead of saying, The word is nigh thee even in thy Mouth; And so doth not he himself abuse the Apostles words, as in Rom. 10. And I bring but this for him to see his own folly, who is Straining at Gnats, and swallowing Camels, though G. F's word our to us and their to the Apostles, is proper enough: and the word of Faith is nigh us in our hearts and mouths as well as in thy, as the Apostle said: but Priest Bond who cavils at Words, may see how he mistakes himself, and utters forth his own Folly.

S. Bond brings Thomas Moors saying, in Page 51. That Christ was absent from us. while we were in this Mortal Body. And G. F. answers contrary to the Apostle, who said, The Life of Christ is manifest in their Mortal Flesh: yes, and we say again, that the Life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our Mortal Flesh: and Christ is in us the hope of Glory. But Bond makes a great pudder, that the Life of Christ Jesus might (not is, but) be made manifest in (not their, but) our mortal Flesh.

But SB. How foolishly thou strains at Gnats and swallows Camels; for G. F. when he saith their, he means the Apostles and the Church: and thou saist not is; but dost not thou contadict the Apostle who said, The Son of God was reyealed in him &c. So we say, theirs (to wit) the Apostles and the Church in their days; and we say ours in our days (to wit) for we which Live, are always delivered unto Death for Jesus sake, that the Life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal Bodies. And so here it is plain, in their mortal

Flesh, and in our mortal Flesh. And doth S. B. say, that the Life of Jesus was not manifest in the Apostles mortal Flesh, and the Churches, and them that hear it too? and will not S. B. have the Life of Christ to be made ma∣nifest in our mortal Flesh, because he makes such a pudder about our, &c. And because G. F. saith, the Life of Christ is manifest in their mortal Bodies: And doth not S. B. when he writes of others, say theirs? But the Apostles writes of themselves and the Church, when they said ours. But S. B. Thou hast wrong quoted the Scripture, 2 Cor. 5.11. And there is no such saying in that Text of Scripture, That the Life of Jesus might be made manifest in their mortal Flesh. I query of S. Bond, whether this was not while they were upon the Earth, that thou mak••s such a pudder about? And whether the A∣postles were not made partakers of the Glory, while they were upon the Earth? And is not the Light called the Life, John 1. in Christs Word? And doth not the Light shine in our Hearts, 2 Cor. 4.6? And thou saist, Page 51. That Fox endeavours as much as in him lies to choak the Lamb of God. But Priest Bond, Can Christ the Lamb of God which hath all power in Heaven and Earth given to him, be Choaked? Dost not thou herein shew thy Foolishness and Silliness? And as for his railing against J. Pennington, he hath not Quo∣ted the Page where to find what he saith against him, neither hath he named John Chanlers Book, which he rails at against him. And therefore it is like he hath belied them as he hath done G. F. and others. And therefore Priest Bond had better Repent, if he can find a place of Repentance for all his Lying Blasphemies, and studdy to be quiet; for he hath given forth his Book to his Shame.

And S. Bond (to bring in, with the rest of your cruelty and inhumane Practises) I query of thee, Wast not thou the man who instigated and stur'd up the Magistrates in Burmudus to take up John Tysoe with a Warrant, and carried him from Constable to Constable through great part of the Island to your Town-Prison, where he was kept till Banished off your Island? a Man, whom you had nothing to lay to his charge, worthy of Bonds, but for coming upon your Island to visit his Friends and people of the Lord, who were gathred from your persecuting Spirit, and thy Idolatrous Wor∣ships, to wait upon the Lord in the Spirit of Truth and Righteousness; at which (Cain like) you were angry, and thou in thy malice wast stirr'd up to cry out against this Inocent man; (like thy Brethren of old, Help men of Israel, the turners of the World upside down are come hither also) who; as a∣foresaid, came with the Love of God in his heart to visit his Friends, and did desire the well-being of you all, which is Sixteen years ago; and how thou hast behaved thy self since it is known to some; but now thou hast made thy self manifest in a large measure, in thy ungodly, Blasphemous

Book, which I hope will be a means to open the Eyes of some that yet see thee not.

And now, we understanding, that Sam. Bond's Book was Printed at Boston in New-England, by Sam. Green, upon the Assignment of S. Sewall; and we being sensible, how forward the New-England Priests and Professors are to tolerate and Print such lying and slanderous Books against us the people of God, in scorn called Quakers, to cover their Wickedness in their persecu∣ting of us, (who Hanged four of the said people called Quakers, Cut of the Ears of others, Branded with an Hot-Iron, Banished many upon pain of Death, and Imprisoned, Beat and Cruelly Whipt many; yea, one William Brend, till his body was like a Gelly; and besides the spoiling of Friends Goods) who pro∣moted the Printing, and tolerated Roger Williams's silthy, slanderous Book of Lies against us; We have brought forth, and added some of R. Williams's (one of their old Priests in N. E.) false and Blasphemous Doctrines con∣cerning Christs Body and Blood, which he asserted and maintained openly, at the dispute at Rhode-Island in N. England, to the shame of true Christiani∣ty, as follows:

These are four Pages, taken out of G. F's. and S. B's answer to Roger Williams, Entituled, A New-England Fire-Brand quenched, part 2. Page 508. and seq. Printed in the year 1679.

And Roger Williams, thou and the people know'st, that thou brought'st G. F's Fol. 56. at the dispute at Nuport, to prove, that G. F. said. The Blood of Christ was corruptable, and that it was like the Blood of another Man, and from thence thou didst endeavour to prove, That our Christ was not the true Christ; and G. F. a Blasphemer: But when the place was read in G. F's Book, it was found to be the Priests sayings, and not G F's. to wit, That the Blood of Christ was corruptible, and so like the Blood of another Man. (For G. F's answer to the Priest is, That the Blood of Christ which cleanseth from all Sin, is Incorruptible; as the Reader may read, Fol. 56.) And so R. W. Se∣ing it were the Priests words, and not G. F's, which he brought to Condemn G. F. and us withal in the Face of the Country, and to prove that our Christ was not the true Christ, he seeing it was proved to be the Priests words out of G. F's. Book and not G. F's, he turned about to maintain the Priests words, to wit, That Christs Blood was Corruptible, and asserted as followeth (which was taken then in Characters; and we do not question but that the sober-minded, unprejudic'd people then there may remember the Words) Viz.

1st, R. W. said, I affirm that the Blood of Christ that he shed, was materi∣al, as another Mans and was corruptible.

2d. R. W. said, I say, that the Blood, from hence he might as well argue,

that the Flesh of Christ being material was therefore Corruptible, which is con∣trary to the Apostles Doctrine (Acts 2.31.) Neither did his Flesh see corrupti∣ion. Yet in another place in his Book. R. W. doth affirm, That he is Redeemed by the Blood of God: which blood; he saith is Corruptible, of Christ, was Cor∣ruptible and Corrupted; With many other unsavory words.

John Stubs answered, Take heed Roger, what t••ou saist, we do not de∣ny, but Blood came out of his Side;

but we say, That the Blood of Christ is Incorruptible. And we say, that we were never able to pay or satisfy God; yet Christ leadeth his people by his Spirit, and reconcileth them to his Father, &c. And we dare not for all the World to assert that, which R. W. hath affirmed here; to wit, That the Flood of Christ is Corruptible, and did Corrupt:

For we know, that we are Redeemed not with corrupti∣ble things, &c. but with the precious Blood of Christ, as of a Lamb with∣out blemish and spot, (1 Pet. 1.18, 19.)

3. R. W. affirmed, That Salvation was by a way that was corruptible, I do not say corrupted: So far R. W.

J. B. answered and said to this purpose,

I desire not to grate upon the Antient man; but am sorry, that he should so overshoot himself as he hath done, so far to deny Christ, and undervalue his appearance both in∣ward and outward, as to say, That Christ within was but a fancy, and a false Christ, (as he then affirmed) and That Christ without was Corruptible, (contrary to the Apostle, who said, His Flesh saw no Corruption) and also of his appearance without, who then also said, That his Blood was Corrup∣tible and corrupted, as I believe, many of the people that was there may yet remember I shewed then, how that he had brought upon himself that charge, and proved himself guilty of that, for which he indeavour∣ed to condemn us: And I spoke at that time, of our owning of the true Lord Jesus Christ, in his appearing in that Body, and of his suffering and re∣surrection, according to the Scriptures, and also of his spiritual appearance in his Saints after his ascension, according to the promise of Christ, and the testimony of his Apostles; as I then brought many testimonies ••ut of Scriptures to maintain and prove the same, and so signified fully to the people, of our true owning of Christ; and there bore testimony against his dangerous words, that he had then uttered before them, in speaking (contrary to what is written) of Christs being corruptible, and his Blood:

And was (as I then signified) truly sorry that he should so sin against God and Christ, and wrong his own Soul.

(1.) And now, how could W. E. do any otherwise, but charge R. W. with Blasphemy against Christ, his Body and Blood? for he affirms, That the Light of Christ is an Id••l, a Fancy, a Frantick-light; and Christ within, an

Imaginary Christ, as you may see in many places of his Book.

(2.) He affirms, That Salvation was by a man that was corruptible; and that his Blood was Corruptible and Corrupted.

Now we do charge R. W. and all the New-England Priests (together with these Baptists that took his part against us at Rhode-Island, and Provi∣dence at the Dispute) to make those his assertions good by Scripture if they can (which we do affirm are Blasphemies) and shew us Chapter and Ve••se, which he saith, is the Rule and Touch-stone; and so, let his H••rrible Bl••••••hemies be touched and tryed with Scriptures. For David saith. (Psal. ••6.) My Heart is glad, and my Glory rejoyceth; my Flesh also rests in Hope: for thou wilt not leave my Soul in Hell, neither wilt thou suffer thy Holy one to see corruption. And again the Apostle saith, (who spoke of the Re∣su••••••ction of Christ, that his Soul was not left in Hell, neither [mark] His Flesh did s••e Corruption. (Acts 2.27.31.) And (Acts. 13.34.) Thou shalt not ••uff•••••• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Holy one to see Corruption. David saw corruption, but he whom God rais∣ed ••gai••, •••• wit•• Christ, saw [Mark] no corruption. Now if R. W. and the New-England. Priests be Redeemed by Corruptible Man, and a corruptible Blood, that did Corrupt, this is contrary to what the Apostle saith, His Flesh saw no corru••••••on; ••nd they were not Redeemed with Corruptible things, but with the Precu••us wood••t Christ. So it is clearly proved, that Christ his Flesh and Blood is no•• ••••••••••••ptible, but Incoruptible; and therefore R. W's. Corruptible Man (and Co••••uptible Blood,) ••••at did Corrupt, (by which he pretends he is Saved) is a saite Christ, and not the Christ the Apostles Preached, the true Lord Jesus, whose Flesh and Blood did not Corrupt; and if the Flesh and Blood of Christ (as R. W. affirmeth) be Corruptible; then how is he in Heaven with Corruptible Flesh and Blood, when the Apostle saith, Corruption doth not inherrit Inc••rruption. (1 Cor. 15.50.) Christ Sanctifieth the people with his own Blood. (Heb. 13.) And (1 Pet. 1.2.) The Saints were Sprinkled with the Blood of Jesus: And (1 John 1,) The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all Sin. (And Revel. ••1.) He hath washed us from our Sins; and Christ hath Redeem∣ed us to God by his Blood. (Rev. 5.9.) And the Saints Garmets were made white in the blood of the Lamb. (••ev. 7.) And the Saints overcame by the Blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 12.11.) And Christ saith, Wh••••••teth my Flesh, and drinketh my Blood, &c. And my Blood is Drink indeed. Now was it Corruptile Blood, or Corruptible Flesh, that the ••••ints did eat? and Corruptible Blood which clean∣seth from all Sins, and mad•• the Saints Garments white, by which they o∣vercome? O Horrid darkness! for will not Corruptible stain? and not fetch out the Stain? and the Saints were to have Faith in Christs Blood. (Rom. 25.) The Saints are made high to God by the Blo••d of Christ, the Flock of God, which Christ hath purchased with his own Blood. (Acts 20.28.)

Now if this be the New-England Priests prnciple, Profession and Judge∣ment, that they be Redeemed by a corruptible man, and the Blood of Christ Jesus was corruptible and corrupted; then they, that have tolerated. R. W. his Blasphemous Book to be Printed (that held forth those abominable things in his Dispute, before a great assembly of people at Newport in Rhode Island, how can we say otherwise, but they are Blasphemers, and own not the true Lord Christ Jesus, Whose Flesh saw no corruption; neither was his Blood corruptible. And therefore we do conclude with the Apostle, that R. W. and they that held forth this Doctrine with him, are such as have trodden under Foot the Son of God, and counted the Blood of the New-Covenant, wherewith they were Sanctified, an unholy thing: and have done despite unto the Spirit of Grace, and have Crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to open Shame.

Now see if this man R. W. that hath spoken those blaphemous Words against Christ Jesus, his Body, and Blood, and Spirit, and Light, is fit to take the Name of Christ in his mouth; and yet this man, he brought this saying of the Priest, to be G. F's to prove, That our Christ was not the true Christ. Which words proving to be the Priests, and not G. F's, he (R. W.) stood by them, and maintained them against us, and so by his own Argument and Judge∣ment by the same rule and words, that he would have disproved ours, he hath proved his own Christ not to be the true Christ. But should we (the People of God, in scorn called Quakers) have come and Preached in New-England, and told you, That you were saved by a Man, that was Corruptible, and that Christ's Blood was Corruptible and Corrupted, and that you were wash't and cleansed by such a Blood, then ye might have said, what a Hellish Doctrine is this indeed? which we abhor, and such Doctrines; as R. W. hath Preach∣ed to us in the dispute. And our desires are, that the Lord God of Heaven may deliver all people from such Doctrines; of all the Doctrines that ever we read, we never heard the like.

THE END.
