Caufe of fuch grofs Errors concerning God and Devil; for Fox takes God to be an infinite Spirit without a Body, and this Spirit without a Body fills Heaven and Earth without Diftinction, and fo Fox his Devil is a bodilefs Spirit, fo that he can give no Distinction what the Devil is, though I know he is one himself: But for the Reader's Sake, I shall interpret a little how God may be faid to fill Heaven and Earth, as thus: God is a fingle Perfon in Form of a Man, a fpiritual Perfon, and no bigger in Compafs than a Man, and he was fo from Eternity, even of the fame Stature as the first Adam was, therefore faid to be made in the Image and Likeness of God, Alfo Chrift is faid to be the exprefs Image of bis Father's Perfon; the Meaning is this, that Chrift was the exprefs Image of God the Father, as he was God in Immortality and Glory; and as Christ was in Mortality and Shame, he was the express Image of his Father Adam, for the Scriptures calls Adam his Father, and David is called Chrift's Father, as he was Man; fo that Chrift being God and Man, fo that God is of no bigger Bulk or Bignefs, nor never was, than the Compass of a Man, and the first Adam was of the fame Bigness for Compass of Perfon as God was that made him; and the fecond Adam Chrift, which was God and Man, was of the fame Compafs when upon Earth, as the first Adam in the Beginning of the World was, the Scriptures are full to prove this. But it would be too tedious to speak of them in this Place, neither was it my Intention to speak of this Point now, only that the Reader may fee the Darkness of the Quakers, to think God fo big a Bulk to fill Heaven and Earth, and give no Diftinction how.

This being a Ground-work to know what God is in himself, fo it may eafily be understood how God fills Heaven and Earth: He fills Heaven and Earth by his Wifdom and Power, in that he created all Things by the Power of his Word, also by the Power of his Word he hath planted a Law in every Creature according to its Kind; he hath by the Power of his Word written his Law in the holy Angels, and all other celeftial Creatures in Heaven, and every Creature in Heaven in their Kind obeys his Law written in their Natures by the Power of his Word; fo that all the Creatures in Heaven obey him, and fets forth the Praife, Wisdom, Power, and Glory

Glory of their Creator, their God, and King, fo that Heaven is filled with his Glory.

Likewife God hath written by his Wifdom and Power of Creation, a Law in every Creature here upon Earth; he hath written by the Power of his Word a Law in Man's Heart, who is the Image of himself, whom God made Lord of all other Creatures; he by the Power of his Word hath placed a Law in the Beasts of the Felds, in the Fowls of the Air, in all fenfible Creatures hath he planted a Law, and they all obey him in their Kind, and fets forth his Glory.

Yea, he hath by the Power of his Word placed a fecret Law in the Vegetables, as Trees, Plants, Herbs, and all Things of that Kind; nay, by the Power of his Word he hath put a Law in the Sun and Moon, to run their Course in their Seafon appointed.

Alfo he hath placed by the Power of his Word a Law in the Stars, and Planets, and in all the Hoft of Heaven on this Side the Firmament; nay, he hath fet the Law of Bounds to the Sea, and great Waters, all these Things, and a thousand Times more hath he done by his Wisdom and Power, and all thefe Things which he hath made by the Power of his Word here below upon this Earth, they declare his Handy-works, and doth fhew forth the Wisdom, Power, and Glory of God their Creator, every Thing in its Kind fhews forth the Glory of God, and fo God hath filled the Earth with his Wifdom, Power, and Glory, in that he hath placed a Law in every Thing according to his Pleasure, to fet forth his Praise here on Earth.

And in this Senfe God may be faid to fill the Heaven and Earth, and yet his Perfon but the Bignefs of a Man as aforefaid; and he may be called the Great God, in Respect of his great Power, but not in Respect of his Perfon; for a King may be called a great King in Refpect of his great Power; as Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon was of great Power, as in Daniel iv. 20. He was a Tree which reached up to Heaven. So likewife his Dominion is faid to reach to the Ends of the Earth, as in Verse 22. So that it was the Greatnefs of his Power that reached up to Heaven, and to the End of the Earth, that is, as far in the Earth as his Power, Decrees, and Laws

G 2

Would

would reach, yet the Perfon of this great King was no bigger in Stature and Compass than another Man.

So it is with God, though his Power, Wisdom, and Glory fills Heaven and Earth, in that he hath given Laws, and placed Bounds to all his Creation, as I faid before, yet he himself is no bigger in Bulk, nor in Compass, than a Man, as the Scriptures doth in many Places prove, and as I have faid before; and in this Senfe the Scriptures doth mean that God fills Heaven and Earth.

But Fox and the Quakers looks upon God to be fo big in his Effence and Spirit without any Body, that he fills Heaven and Earth, the Air, and all Things elfe with his great big Spirit without a Body, this is the Quakers God, and Christ fo they can get God into them, as they think, and then when they part out of the Body they now have, then their Spirits goes into God again, fo that the Quakers God and their Spirits doth fo whip into one another, fo that no Body can tell where to find either of them.

This is the Quakers Principle, and their imaginary God and Chrift, and this is that Spirit they call the Spirit of Christ in them; this is that Chrift they are Members of, and Bone of this Spirit's Bone, and Flesh of this Spirit's Flesh; for they abhor fuch a God that is a Perfon, and can be confined to one Place of Refidence, but they must have a great infinite Spirit who fills all Places, and all Things, which cannot be known nor understood what he is; fuch a God as this must the Quakers have, that their Spirits may flip into him, when Death doth approach; for Quakers think their Souls cannot die, they look upon that to come from God, therefore immortal; fo they think to flip out of those Bodies they have, and so creep into that infinite Spirit again from whence they came, as they fuppofe; for they are of Solomon's Opinions, the Body to the Duft, and the Spirit returns to God that gave it; but Solamon was ignorant in this Point, though he was a wife Man in Things of Nature; and you Quakers will find your Thoughts and Conceit in this Thing fruftrated, and that your Souls fhall die; neither fhall your Souls flip out of your Bodies, neither fhall it go into God again, as you do vainly imagine; but as your Souls doth die a natural Death here, even in the Sight of

others,

others, fo many of you fhall die an eternal Death hereafter in your own Bodies; fo that God fhall be no Hiding-place for you, but he will fay, Depart from me ye Workers of Iniquity; for you have been the greatest Defpifers and Blafphemers against a perfonal God, and them whom I fent, of

How the Quakers may fee themselves to be right Devils.

the Quaker little

to understand the Bignefs of the right Devil. Fox may remember that I have fhewed before that Cain was the firft Devil in Flesh, and the right Devil, and that the Spirit of the Devil is not bodilefs, as the Quakers doth vainly imagines and this Cain the firft and right Devil was a Man, and of the fame Stature and Bignefs as the Serpent-Angel was who beguiled Eva, who was Cain's Father.

For Adam was none of his Father, as I have faid before, but I perceive that Fox and other Quakers are unacquainted with the right Devil; fo that they wonderfully ftrange at my Words, to call the Devil a right Devil, they never heard the Devil called a right Devil before.

I have received Letters from Quakers before, defiring to have it proved by Scripture, but I perceive the Quakers are unacquainted with the right Devil, and altogether ignorant of the wrong Devil; for they know neither right Devil nor wrong Devil: But if Fox the Quaker will but follow my Advice, he shall fee a right Devil; let George Fox but take a Looking-Glafs, and look into it, and he shall fee his own Face, and then he will fee a right Devil, and he need go no further to see the right Devil; and all other Quakers that are ignorant of the right Devil, let them look into a Glafs, and there they may fee themselves to be right Devils, and not wrong Devils.

15. The fame Page Muggleton faith, that Chrift hath a diftinct Body of Flesh and Bone of his own.

To this Fox faith, Is Chrift diftinct from bis Saints? Then how come they, faith Fox, to be of his Flesh and Bone?

How the Quakers are more antichriftian in their Dorine than

Anf. H

the Pope.

ERE People may fee Fox hath manifefted his De

ceit, and how he carrieth the Principle of the Quakers in an Allegory, to deceive the People; for their Chrift they fo much talk of is a meer Allegory: For, faith Fox, in another Place of his Pamphlet, We own the Son of God, and his Flesh, and Bone, and Blood, who was crucified, and laid in the Grave, and rofe again, and fits at the Right-hand of God.

Here Fox feems to own Chrift's Body without him, but it is in a Mystery; for he doth not believe that God hath any right Hand or left Hand either; for infinite Spirits hath no Hands, there is no Need of Spirits without Bodies to have Hands; but the Reader may plainly fee that Fox hath a mystical Meaning, or elfe he groйly contradicts himself.

For, faith Fox, is Chrift diftin&t from bis Saints? Then bow came they to be of his Flesh and Bone? So that Fox's Words here are quite contrary to his Words before; fo that it may be clear those that are not stark blind, that the Quakers do not believe that Chrift's Flesh and Bone is now in Heaven above the Stars without them; For, faith Fox, can Chrift be diftinct from the Saints?

So that Fox looks upon the Quakers Bodies to be Members of Chrift's Body of Flesh and Bone, and fo all the Quakers Bodies, which they count Members, they make up but one Body of Chrift, and Chrift's Spirit in them they count the Head, and the Quakers Flesh and Bone to be Chrift's Body of Flesh and Bone; fo that Chrift cannot be diftinct of himself, nor have Flesh and Bone diftinct, both in Body and Spirit.

This is the Quakers imaginary Chrift, which is the abfolute Spirit of Autichrift; and this Spirit of Antichrift it doth reign more in the Quakers People than in any People whatsoever. Here People may fee what the Quakers Chrift within them is; a meer Allegory, a Spirit without a Body, and their Flesh and

Bone
