Let me add, Thirdly, That the Fundamental Heresy of Quakerism receives no Countenance from our Union with our Lord. There is a certain, Inward Excusing or Condemning Principle, which men are Born withal: and the Quaker (if I can understand him) holds This Principle to be, The Man Christ, Or as their Jargon for it is, A measure of that Man. 'The Visible and the tangible Flesh which hung upon the Cross without the Gates of Jerusalem, the Quaker calls, The Bodily Garment of that Man, Christ: and what is now become of that Flesh, he is loth to say; While he will fallaciously grant you the Man to be Ascended into Glory. The Quaker do's also Count his own Flesh to be such another Bodily Garment unto the Man Christ, and his having of that Man thus in Him, is that by which he Expounds, The Coming of Christ in the Flesh. You see what an Union this Heretic pretends to have with our Lord Jesus Christ; He not only has, The Man Christ, within himself; but he does in effect make himself to be, That Man. ⟨p. 10⟩We all of us have within us, a Conscience which is, The Candle of the Lord, but an Enemy to fair Distinctions, will have, The Candle, to be, The Lord Himself. Methinks, these people help to fulfil the Prophecy, That before the Coming of our Lord, Men shall say, L• here is Christ, or there! and there shall arise, False Christs; and they shall say, Behold, He is in the Desert! But what will they Reply to the Challenge which One Recovered out of Quakerism has lately given them, wherein he tells them, If this your Foundation stand sure, it would follow, That all honest Pagans, Jews, and Mahometans, are in Christ as well as you; and true Christians, Believers, Disciples Followers of Christ (at least, as to the Mystery) & so your Brethren in Christ. And indeed! There is no Man ordinarily without a Principle which will Excuse him, when he thinks he does well, and will Condemn •im when he thinks he do's Ill; but is the Man Christ so United unto every man? Sure I am, the Apostle affirms of some, what we may as well apply to most in the World; Eph.2. 12. ⟨p. 11⟩Ye were without Christ.
