The Answer To William Penn Quaker, His Book, Entituled, The New Witnesses proved old Hereticks. Wherein He is proved to be an ignotant spater-brain'd Quaker, who knows no more what the true God is, nor his secret Decrees, then one of his Coach-horses doth, nor so much; For the Oxe knoweth his Owner, and the Ass his Masters Scrip, but Penn doth not know his Maker, as is manifest by the Scriptures, which may inform the Reader, if he mind the Interpretation of Scripture in the Dis- course following. I. That God was in the Forme, Image and likeness of Mans bodily shape, as well as his Soul from Eternity. II. That the substance of Earth and Matter was an eternal, dark, sensless Chaos, and that Earth and Matter was eternal in the Original. III. That the Soul of Man is generated and begot by Man and Woman with the Body, and are inseparable. IV. That the Soul and Body of Man are both Mortal, and doth die and go to dust until the Resurrection. V. That to fulfil the Prophecy of Esaias God descended from Heaven into the Virgins Womb, and transmuted his spiritual body into a pure natural body, and become a Man-Child, even the Childe Jesus Emanuel God with us. VI. That God by his Prerogative Power hath elected the seed of Adam to be saved, and hath pre-ordained the seed of the Serpent, such as Penn the Qua- ker is, to be damned, without any other inducement, but his own Preroga- tive Will and Pleasure. VII. A Reply to the Discourse between Penn and me. VIII. What is meant by the Armour of God, the Wilderness, and the wilde beasts I fought with in the Wilderness
