The faith of the true Christian, and the primitive quakers faith: Or, Religion according to found reason, and agreeable with holy writ, and such as every man may come to experience in himself, conformable to the new covenant brought and taught by Jesus Christ, without the help of men made priests, who by all their learning know not God nor his Christ, but exclaim against the truth, and call that error, and error truth, Isa. 54. 13. Jer. 31. 34. Jo. 6. 46. Heb. 8. 10. 1 Jo. 2. 20, 27. Who not having the key of David, Jesus Christ in them, are ignorant of the language of God and his Christ, Job 12. 14. Isa. 22. 22. Rev. 3. 7. Ch. 11. 15. 12. 10. Ch. 20. 6. Luk. 9. 20. With some justice done to the apostate and hypocritical quakers, who have turned the grace of God into wantonnels; and instead of a grave, sober, and wise people, are become vain in their conversations, and habits, and bullies, and gamesters of the town: being a rod for the fool's back, but a praise to them that do well.

All slave-keepers that keep the innocent in bondage, apostates pretending to lay claim to the pure & holy Christian religion; of what congregation so ever; but especially in their ministers, by whose example the filthy leprosy and apostacy is spread far and near; it is a notorious sin, which many of the true Friends of Christ, and his pure truth, called Quakers, has been for many years, and still are concern'd to write and bear testimony against; as a practice so gross & hurtful to religion, and destructive to government, beyond what words can set forth, or can be declared of by men or angels, and yet lived in by ministers and magistrates in America. The leaders of the people cause them to err. Written for a general service, by him that truly and sincerely desires the present and eternal welfare and happiness of all mankind, all the world over, of all colours, and nations, as his own soul; Benjamin Lay.
