A Letter Sent To Thomas Taylor, Quaker, In the Year 1664. In Answer to many blasphemous Sayings of his in several pieces of Paper, and in the Margent of a Book. Amongst many of his wicked ignorant Sayings, I have given an Answer to some of the chief and main things of Con- cernment, for the Reader to know : The parti- cular Heads are seven. I. That Christ could not make all things of nothing. II. That earth and waters were eternal, and out of that matter God cre- ated all living creatures. III. That there was a place of residence for God to be in, when he created this World. IV. How all children are saved, though the seed of the Serpent, if they die in their childhood. V. Of the difference between the fruit of the womb, and the fruits of the flesh, and how they are two several trees, and two several fruits. VI. How the Seed of Faith, the Elect Seed, did all fall in Adam, and therefore made alive in Christ, and how the reprobate seed did not fall in Adam, so not made alive in Christ; and what it is that purifies the Quakers hearts. VII. How Adam and Eve were not capable of any kinde of death before their fall

and how their fall did procure but a temporal death to all the seed of Adam; but the fall of the serpent did procure an eternal death to all his seed, who live to men and womens estates, and more especially to those that doth deny the person and body of Christ to be now living in heaven, above the stars without a man, as all the Speakers of the Quakers do
