One sheet against the Quakers

Reason 16. What reasonable man would turn Quaker that seeth the common fruit of their Doctrine? What good do they where they come? but make people hare both godly Teachers and people whom they loved? and doubtless Love is Christs work and Sheep-mark; and envy, strife and hatred is the Devils. They break people into Divisions, and set them a reviling, and cast their spirit into a malicious mould and tincture of bitterness, and bring in confusion and abominable error: And to say that this wisdom is from above is to glory and lye against the truth: No, it it earthly, sensual, devilish. For the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, &c. Jam. 3. 13, 14, 15, 17. The fruit of their labour is to make some silly professors turn Malignant enemies of the Church, and to show themselves humble, to cast off some points or lace, and wander about the Country, and at last many of them fall into distraction.

Reason 17. And its no great encouragement to us to turn Qua•ers, when we consider who are their followers and society that make all this ado in the world. Very few experienced, humble, soer Christians, that ever I heard of that turn to them? but its he young raw professors, and women, and ignorant ungrounded people that were but novices and learners in the principles, and such as are notorious for self-conceitedness and pride, being wise in their own eyes. And most of all these that ever I heard of, were Anabaptists or the members of some such Sect, that by their division and error were prepared before.
