where he proved unto the Satisfaction of a vast Assembly, that the chief Writers of the Quakers, assert Christ neither to be God, nor Man; and that they deny Christ to be prayed unto; and that they had affirmed, Christs outward Blood, shed on the Ground, to be no more than the Blood of another Saint; and that they had charged him with New-Doctrine, for directing to Faith in Christ without us, as well as within us; and that at their Meetings, they had censured him, for saying, That Christs Body came out of the Grave, which they say, It never did: And many more such horrid matters. To confirm these things, Besides the grievous Bites which Francis Bug, one of their late Friends, hath given them, one Daniel Leeds, without wholly casting off the Profession of a Quaker, hath lately Printed a Book, wherein he produces above Threescore Instances, of the Flat Contradictions, which he hath observed in the Books of the Friends, that have most pretended unto Infallibility; and he demonstrates ⟨p. 167⟩from evident matter of East, that though they declared unto the World, That their Sufferings had been greater, and more unjust, than the Sufferings of Jesus, and His Apostles; yet they themselves were no sooner mounted into the Seat of Government, than they fell to Persecuting as bad as any in the World. Albeit Fox writes, They that cause People to be put in Prison, and have their Goods taken away, are Disorderly Teachers, and shall be rooted out: Nevertheless Leeds proves by many Examples, that the Pennsylvanians did it, even upon their own Friends, for mere Scruples of their Consciences. 'Tis reported, The Quakers are so confounded at this Book of Leeds, that they have been at the charge to buy up the whole Impression of it, and so to Stifle and Smother it: If it be so, I hope 'twill but produce a New Impression of so rare a Book. The Marvellous Providence of our Lord Jesus Christ, having thus employed, the Pens of the Quakers themselves, to warn you, that you beware of Quakerism, it will be a marvellous Infatuation in any of you, after this, to be led away with that Error of the Wicked. Reader, make a Pause, and here Admire the Marvellous Providence of our Lord Jesus Christ! The first and great Apostle of the Quakers, even George Fox, the Shoe-maker, in his, Great Mystery, Pag. 94.

To confirm these things, Besides the grievous Bites which Francis Bugg, one of their late Friends, hath given them, one Daniel Leeds, without wholly casting off the Profession of a Quaker, hath lately Printed a Book, wherein he produces above Threescore Instances, of the Flat Contradictions, which he hath observed in the Books of the Friends, that have most pretended unto Infallibility; and he demonstrates
