Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter to a Member: Of the Honourable the House of Commons Occasioned by a Petition Presented From Those People Called Quakers to That Honourable House Those People, by some called Quakers, by others, Shakers (from the Violence of their Fits, which commonly attend them in the Height of their Doctrines) first took their Rise in England in the Year 1651, brought here by a Nobleman of Silecia, by Name Caspar Schwenckfeldius of Ossing; from whom they are called, Abroad, Schwenckfeldians, and here, Enthusiasts, upon account of their Pretences to Inspiration. Their Doctrine is, That reading the Scripture, is like reading a dead Letter; that the external Word of God, can have no Effect upon us, without it works inwardly thro´ the Spirit, in Inspirations, Raptures, and what not, which the Soul must feel. They likewise originally denied the divine Nature of Christ, as to his being the Son of God, their general Belief being only, that he came as a Prophet into the World. Baptism they think intirely useless in regard to Regeneration, and cite a Passage in Scripture, in Defence of themselves, viz. That neither Circumcision, nor Uncircumcision, availeth any things, but a new Creature: Not considering, as Man is born in Original Sin, he stands in need of Baptism, in order to his becoming a new Creature.
