<P><HI>Pag. 7.</HI> [&s;hamele&s;ly &s;tiling the pure light of Chri&s;t, perver&s;e principle, and &s;elfe-adorning-light]</P>
<P><HI>Quakers</HI> adore their own light, and magnify natural light, as if it were Go&s;pel-&s;aving light: this is from the perver&s;e principle of their fle&s;hly wi&s;e|dome.</P>
<P><HI>Pag. 8.</HI> [O! How fain would <HI>J. S.</HI> &s;infull indeed]</P>

<P><HI>Pag. 9.</HI> [Would wickedly make men believe, that the&s;e mens Tenents, &s;c. <HI>the Quaker's:</HI> are as Reprobate &s;tuff as the <HI>Je|&s;uites</HI>]</P>
<P>Some of their Tenents, I &s;aid' witne&s;s their Doctrine of Ju&s;tification.</P>

<P>For their crimes (I &s;aid, not bare opinions) which are notorious, and gro&s;&s;e &s;eandalous practi&s;es.</P>
<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [Who art a reviler of the light of Chri&s;t, calling it per|ver&s;e Principle]</P>
<P>The liberty the&s;e men take to wre&s;t, adde, or detract, is hereby evident; for, I never called the light of Chri&s;t perver&s;e Principle, but (as above) in that they &s;et up &s;omething in the room, of Chri&s;t. <HI>i. e.</HI> them&s;elves and their common candle-light of rea&s;on, which they wor&s;hip and adore (as &s;ome have of old the light of the Firmament) this &s;elf-adoring light is their perver&s;e Principle.</P>

<P><HI>Pag. 13.</HI> [He &s;eemes to charge the Scripture with fal&s;e Tran&s;lations]</P>
<P>The Scripture in the true &s;ence, is the believers Rule. True Tran&s;lations may vary in words, yet not Deviate from the true &s;ence.</P>
<P><HI>Pag. 14.</HI> [His wickedne&s;&s;e appeares by reproching, and reviling dead men, &s;uch as <HI>H. N. Jacob B. W. E.</HI>]</P>
<P>This is no judgment (in my Epi&s;tle) pa&s;s'd upon the men, but upon and according to their Doctrines.</P>
<P><HI>Pag. 15.</HI> [ Shall the hone&s;t Reader receive this for truth, that the light of Chri&s;t Je&s;us is a perver&s;e Principle]</P>
<P>This the fifth time the An|&s;werer hath fal&s;ified my &s;ence and words, as to this one pa&s;&s;age. <HI>See Antidote upon his page</HI> 7. <HI>and</HI> 10.</P>
<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [Wee demand what the&s;e Je&s;uiticall plots and de&s;igns are, we do carry on]</P>

<P><HI>Pag. 16.</HI> [ We do not allow that <HI>J. S.</HI> be our Interpreter]</P>
<P>Your words compared, one Book, and page with another, and all examined by Scripture, interpret them&s;elves. which was <HI>J. S.</HI> his faithfullne&s;s to di&s;cover how contradictious they are.</P>
<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [His judgment is but out of his old lying heart]</P>
<P>This is their charity (if we confe&s;&s;e we have &s;omething of the old man in us) to judg that all we write and &s;peak, proceed from the old principle, and nothing from the new creature.</P>
<P><PB N="3" REF="3">
<HI>Pag. 17.</HI> [Not in the light of the Spirit, do we in any one particular in&s;i&s;ted upon by him, contradict the Scripture.]</P>

<P>Becau&s; <HI>Paul,</HI> &s;aid there dwelt no good thing in his fle&s;h, did he therefore write no truth in his Epi&s;tles? It followeth a&s; well as the&s;e mens rea&s;oning. An old Heart and a new, are both at the &s;ame time; not raigning, but the old remaining in part, and the new raigning over the old, in the &s;ame Chri&s;tian. <HI>See</HI> 113. 114. <HI>pages of my Book,</HI></P>
<P><HI>Pag. 22.</HI> [Such who be in the &s;tate as <HI>J. S.</HI> confe&s;&s;eth he is]</P>

<P>If he had &s;o &s;aid, it were to be taken in, the &s;ence given in my Book, <HI>pag.</HI> 66. but my words are to be read as they are <HI>pag.</HI> 69. Not one man &amp;c. knows him (&s;peaking of Chri&s;t) to be God, till he finds him in the Scripture. <HI>John</HI> 1.45.</P>

<P><HI>Ib.</HI> [Why doth he not read to his people that which was written to the <HI>Laodiceans?</HI>]</P>
<P><HI>Paul</HI> &s;peaks not of any E|pi&s;tle that him&s;elf, or any other (appointed as Pen men of Scripture) did write to the <HI>Laodiceans,</HI> but of one &s;ent from <HI>Laodicea.</HI> Let the deluded read <HI>Colo&s;.</HI> 4.16. once more.</P>

<P><HI>John</HI> meaneth nor, that there was any &s;ub&s;tantial truth nece&s;&s;ary to be known to &s;alvation, which is not revealed in the written Word, but that the Spirit ordered the copious my&s;teries of the Go&s;pel (with re&s;pect unto our infirmitie) to be contracted within a narrow compa&s;s of lines. <HI>R.

<P><HI>Pag. 28.</HI> [Working all their works in them, and for them ac|cording to the Scriptures.]</P>
<P>Agreed, in true Scripture-&s;en&s;.</P>
<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [See if the &s;word of the Spirit was ever in the Divel's mouth.]</P>
<P>The Divel takes up the &s;word without the Spirits aim and edge.</P>
<P><HI>Pag. 29.</HI> [By this Scripture <HI>Prov. 22.19, 20, 21.</HI> the Lord is made the ground of faith, and not the letter.]</P>
<P>See the true explanation of this Scripture in my 32 page.</P>

<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [The Apo&s;tle did not bid them wait till the Day-&s;tar did ari&s;e in the Scriptures.]</P>
<P>No, but till the Day-&s;tar did ari&s;e in their minds, by the reading and heeding of the Scriptures, that's his plain mean|ing.</P>

<P><HI>Ib.</HI> [Mark this, A per&s;on dwell in the Saints not per&s;onally.]</P>
<P>No, not &s;o, as to make the Holy Spirit and a Saint one per&s;on, doth he dwell; but my&s;tically, as in his &s;piritual Temple.</P>
<P><HI>Pag. 34.</HI> [Saying, that the Godhead-light is not the Redem|ption-light.]</P>
<P>Objectively &s;o called (not Subjectively) that is, light or knowledge given to every man about the God-head.</P>
<P><HI>Pag. 35.</HI> [As God is, &s;o is his light, and &s;o is his Godhead, not created, <HI>&amp;c.</HI>]</P>
<P>God's own e&s;|&s;ential light is, uncreated, and his very nature. The light that <HI>Adam</HI> was qualified with before the Fall and which every man (as a man) hath a &s;park of &s;ince the Fall, was and is given from the Creation, and by the things that are made.

<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [<HI>In page 64.</HI> &s;aying, Light without Scripture is no light.]</P>
<P><HI>i. e.</HI> Be&s;ides, or not according to Scripture, as is explained in that page.</P>
<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [Was the &s;aving light made by that wich was written.]</P>

<P><HI>Ib.</HI> [<HI>In page 70. &s;aith,</HI> Chri&s;t is more in the Scriptures, then in the Saints, which is fal&s;e.]</P>
<P>There is more of Chri&s;ts puri|ty in the Scriptures, then in the Saints, yet is he greater then the Saints, and the Scrip|tures al&s;o.</P>
<P><HI>Ibid.</HI> [<HI>In pag. 73. he &s;aith,</HI> Chri&s;t &s;peaking in the Scripture, &s;aveth by the Scripture, which is fal&s;e, <HI>&amp;c.</HI></P>

<P>Yes, by acci|dent, (as the Sun dazleth and dimmeth weak eies) but of it &s;elf, and from the Spirit, it en|lightneth mens dark under&s;tandings.</P>
