THE
EPISTLE
DEDICATORY
To
the
People
of
God
In
Derision
called
,
QUAKERS
,
The
Publisher
of
this
Volumn
wisheth
all
Peace
and
Prosperity
in
the
Lord
.
Dear
Friends
,
I
Having
had
much
Exercise
and
care
upon
me
in
Collecting
,
and
for
the
Publishing
these
Books
in
this
Volumn
;
at
length
,
after
much
Travel
&
Diligence
,
for
the
effecting
this
Impression
,
they
are
through
the
Assistance
and
Providence
of
God
(
as
I
may
well
say
)
brought
forth
and
finished
for
you
and
your
Children
,
and
such
as
are
moderate
and
well-affected
,
who
shall
desire
any
of
them
.
The
reason
why
this
Work
hath
been
so
long
unfinished
,
was
partly
the
difficulty
of
Printing
,
and
partly
it
being
also
thus
voluminous
and
weighty
,
and
partly
since
I
began
the
Printing
of
this
,
many
other
things
of
Truth
's
Concernment
intervened
,
which
required
expedition
in
the
publication
:
howbeit
,
this
Work
hath
long
lain
as
a
matter
of
weight
upon
my
spirit
,
to
use
my
utmost
endeavours
for
its
accomplishment
;
and
greater
desires
thereof
could
not
be
in
any
of
you
,
then
in
my
own
particular
;
I
having
Travelled
both
to
answer
and
serve
Truth
,
as
also
the
desires
of
many
Friends
herein
,
whom
also
I
have
been
willing
and
desirous
to
serve
in
that
true
Love
which
stands
in
the
Life
and
Truth
of
our
God
,
who
requires
faithfulness
of
us
all
,
that
we
may
remain
living
Witnesses
in
our
several
Places
this
short
time
of
our
Pilgrimage
;
and
in
the
end
,
lay
down
our
Heads
in
Peace
,
and
Assurance
of
a
Crown
of
Life
and
Glory
,
as
our
Everlasting
Reward
;
for
this
is
the
End
that
crowns
all
,
The
Diligence
and
Works
of
the
Faithful
.
And
I
having
been
an
Eye
and
Ear
Witness
of
the
Faithfulness
,
Valour
and
Courage
of
this
Faithful
Servant
and
Prophet
of
the
Lord
E.
B.
in
his
powerful
Testimony
,
and
effectual
Ministry
,
which
the
Lord
did
bless
with
a
very
Glorious
Success
unto
me
,
and
many
more
;
have
found
my self
the
more
oblieged
for
the
divulging
of
these
his
Works
,
which
,
though
many
of
them
were
given
forth
in
the
time
of
his
Youth
,
soon
after
the
Lord
first
raised
him
up
,
and
when
the
discovery
of
Truth
was
in
its
infancy
,
both
New
,
Strange
and
a
Wonderment
to
many
in
our
Age
(
it
being
after
such
a
long
time
of
Darkness
,
and
Night
of
Apostacy
)
yet
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
which
then
broke
forth
,
was
very
Mighty
,
both
in
him
,
and
his
dear
Companion
in
the
Gospel
Fr.
Howgill
,
who
were
sent
in
the
beginning
amongst
us
,
in
this
City
of
London
;
where
,
though
they
met
with
much
Opposition
and
Gain-saying
by
perverse
spirits
,
and
formal
Professors
of
all
sorts
,
who
denied
and
resisted
the
Power
of
Codliness
;
yet
the
Lord
so
accompained
these
his
two
faithful
Servants
and
Ministers
of
Righteousness
,
as
to
the
confounding
the
wisdom
of
the
Wise
,
and
stoping
the
Mouthes
of
many
contentious
Opposers
,
and
convincing
of
Gain-sayers
;
yea
,
the
Lord
did
manifest
1
Cor.
12.
9.
and
perfect
his
Strength
through
Weakness
,
even
through
Instruments
dispised
and
coutemptable
in
the
Eyes
of
the
Proud
and
Exalted
of
the
1
Cor.
1.
27
World
;
out
of
the
Mouthes
of
Babes
did
the
Lord
ordain
Strength
;
and
Psal.
8.
2.
through
Simplicity
did
his
wisdom
speak
,
both
in
this
his
faithful
Witness
E.
B.
and
divers
other
in
the
beginning
:
So
that
let
none
contemn
,
the
honest
Plainness
,
and
harmless
Simplicity
of
any
of
his
first
Writtings
or
Books
here
inserted
;
for
many
are
living
Witnesses
,
that
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
God
,
did
then
(
even
while
he
was
young
and
tender
every
way
)
appear
,
and
shew
it self
in
him
,
through
such
plainness
and
Simplicity
,
to
the
confounding
,
and
overturning
the
wisdom
of
many
that
were
high
and
lofty
,
who
conceited
themselves
wise
with
their
opposition
of
science
(
falsly
so
called
.
)
And
it
may
not
be
unnecessary
for
Friends
,
and
their
Children
to
read
and
peruse
these
Testimonies
,
Informations
and
Vindication
of
Truth
,
where
they
are
in
way
of
Controversie
(
with
many
others
of
like
nature
)
given
forth
by
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
in
Truth
's
Vindication
,
the
Perusal
and
Reading
thereof
may
be
of
Service
both
to
you
and
yours
,
you
being
in
the
Light
and
Inspiration
of
the
Almighty
,
which
gives
Understanding
,
from
which
all
Scriptures
or
Writings
that
are
given
,
are
profitable
to
the
Man
of
God
for
his
Accommodation
,
and
ought
not
to
be
slighted
,
whether
they
be
in
plain
Testimonies
,
or
in
Vindications
and
Answers
:
For
though
many
are
come
to
a
particular
Satisfaction
in
the
true
Light
,
which
is
the
Rule
of
the
Understanding
,
and
know
so
much
of
Christ
,
as
to
die
for
him
,
yet
cannot
so
well
dispute
for
him
,
though
that
be
necessary
,
and
few
given
up
and
accomplished
for
that
Service
;
&
therefore
there
may
be
need
for
more
to
apply
their
hearts
to
Wisdom
,
as
to
be
furnished
in
every
respect
,
to
stand
up
for
the
Truth
against
its
Opposers
,
to
convince
Gain-sayers
,
and
stop
the
Mouth
of
Iniquity
,
where
ever
it
opens
it self
against
the
Righteous
,
to
pervert
the
right
Wayes
of
God
and
his
Truth
;
since
the
Labours
and
Works
of
this
valiant
Souldier
of
Christ
are
here
manifest
to
your
view
,
and
to
continue
on
Record
,
as
permanent
Monuments
of
his
Service
for
the
Lord
,
and
as
Tokens
of
God's
Love
to
many
;
it
being
also
apparently
manifest
,
how
plainly
and
eminently
many
of
his
Prophesies
came
to
pass
,
and
were
fulfilled
upon
the
Heads
of
the
persecuting
Powers
,
Rulers
and
Government
of
O.
C.
and
others
of
that
Affinity
,
who
trod
in
the
same
Path
;
who
resisted
God's
Power
,
in
not
removing
Oppression
from
off
the
Innocent
.
It
is
not
my
place
much
to
endeavour
E.
B's
applause
in
many
words
,
because
I
cannot
add
to
him
,
or
what
he
hath
done
,
thereby
;
nor
yet
to
his
Faithfull
Companion
Francis
Howgill
,
or
his
Works
,
which
many
do
also
desire
might
be
Collected
and
Published
,
as
these
are
;
for
indeed
he
also
wrote
many
weighty
things
,
and
of
much
Service
to
the
Truth
,
which
would
be
a
very
conderable
Volmun
,
that
will
require
both
much
Care
,
Charge
,
and
Industry
to
publish
in
Print
;
and
therefore
it
would
be
of
much
Service
to
Truth
,
if
Friends
would
so
consider
the
weight
thereof
,
as
to
encourage
such
a
Work
of
value
and
worth
;
for
many
know
what
a
great
Sufferer
F.
H.
was
;
and
how
he
lay
many
years
in
a
bad
Prison
at
Appleby
in
Westmoreland
,
for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
and
of
a
good
Conscience
,
for
that
he
could
not
Swear
;
so
that
in
the
same
Prison
,
under
the
Hands
of
his
Persecutors
,
he
cheerfully
,
and
with
much
Satifaction
and
Peace
,
gave
up
his
Life
,
and
ended
his
Dayes
in
Peace
.
Oh!
the
remembrance
of
these
two
Faithfull
Witnesses
,
who
both
died
Sufferers
,
being
Prisoners
for
Truth
,
is
never
to
be
forgotten
.
And
thus
,
Dear
Friends
,
as
the
Salutation
of
our
dear
Brother
E.
B.
according
to
his
desire
,
while
in
the
Body
,
I
recommend
unto
you
this
Volumn
of
his
Books
,
with
my
Love
in
the
Truth
to
you
all
,
being
therein
The
Truth
's
and
your
Servant
and
Friend
,

THE
EPISTLE
TO
The
Reader
.
TO
all
the
World
to
whom
this
may
come
to
be
Read
,
that
they
read
with
a
good
understanding
,
and
hereby
they
may
come
to
the
perfect
knowledge
of
the
ground
of
difference
between
the
Priests
,
and
Professors
,
and
all
Sects
in
these
Nations
,
and
Us
,
who
are
in
scorn
called
Quakers
,
shewing
that
the
Controversie
on
our
part
is
just
and
equal
against
them
all
,
and
that
we
have
sufficient
cause
to
cry
against
them
,
and
to
deny
their
Ministry
,
their
Church
,
their
Worship
,
and
their
whole
Religion
,
as
being
not
in
the
Power
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Living
God
,
as
commanded
of
him
,
or
ever
practiced
by
his
Saints
;
But
this
declareth
the
ground
and
Foundation
thereof
to
be
another
thing
,
and
not
the
same
on
which
the
true
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Practice
,
and
Worship
,
and
true
Religion
was
builded
in
the
days
of
the
Apostles
;
And
also
this
is
an
Invitation
to
all
Sects
,
and
Professions
of
People
,
to
come
forth
,
and
try
if
what
they
hold
and
profess
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
truth
;
and
to
do
this
in
tryal
,
by
evident
and
sound
Arguments
,
and
by
the
best
spiritual
Weapons
they
have
,
and
to
lay
aside
all
this
Persecution
and
unrighteous
Dealing
,
and
Stocking
,
and
Whipping
,
and
Imprisoning
of
us
for
speaking
against
their
Religion
;
and
that
they
come
forth
in
fair
dispute
,
to
contend
in
the
Spirit
of
meekness
,
for
what
they
Profess
and
Practice
,
and
to
prove
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
their
Ministry
,
Church
,
and
whole
Religion
,
that
it
is
in
and
by
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
,
or
otherwise
to
renounce
and
deny
all
their
Religion
,
and
the
Profession
and
Practices
thereof
,
that
every
man
may
be
satisfied
,
who
it
is
that
are
in
the
true
and
right
Way
,
and
of
the
true
Worship
,
and
true
Religion
,
and
who
it
is
that
are
not
,
and
this
is
desired
by
us
who
are
called
Quakers
;
and
also
a
true
Account
of
our
first
beginning
and
coming
forth
in
the
World
,
and
of
that
great
Sufferings
we
have
sustained
,
and
how
we
have
been
carried
on
,
and
are
preserved
to
this
day
.
The
Lord
God
everlasting
,
who
is
true
and
faithful
,
hath
fulfilled
his
promise
in
us
,
and
unto
us
,
and
we
are
gathered
from
the
Mouths
of
all
dumb
Shepherds
,
and
out
of
the
mouths
of
all
Hirelings
,
who
have
made
a
prey
upon
us
,
and
fed
themselves
with
the
fat
,
and
devoured
souls
for
dishonest
gain
;
And
we
are
come
to
the
Fold
of
Eternal
Rest
,
where
Christ
Jesus
is
the
chief
Shepherd
,
and
he
is
the
Shepherd
and
Bishop
of
our
Souls
,
that
feedeth
his
Flock
with
living
Bread
,
that
nourisheth
us
unto
Life
Eternal
;
he
hath
called
us
by
his
Name
,
and
put
us
forth
,
and
he
feedeth
us
in
green
Pastures
,
and
we
are
fed
with
hidden
Manna
,
and
lie
down
at
Noon
with
his
gathered
Flock
;
and
out
of
Nations
,
Kindreds
,
Multitudes
,
and
Peoples
are
we
redeemed
to
God
,
and
are
come
out
of
the
World
,
and
out
of
great
Babylon
,
and
out
of
spiritual
Sodom
,
and
Egypt
,
where
the
Lord
Christ
was
,
and
is
crucified
,
and
lieth
slain
to
this
day
;
and
a
top
of
the
World
hath
the
Lord
set
us
,
on
the
Mountain
of
his
own
House
and
Dwelling
;
where
we
behold
and
feel
the
Life
,
and
Glory
,
and
Crown
of
the
World
that
hath
no
end
;
and
the
world
that
hath
an
end
is
seen
over
,
and
its
crown
and
glory
is
his
Footstool
that
reigns
amongst
us
:
And
as
for
all
that
which
this
perishing
world
brings
forth
,
which
men
seek
after
only
,
it
s
reckoned
our
temptation
,
though
all
the
Sons
of
Adam
are
seeking
its
glory
,
its
riches
,
its
crowns
,
its
contentments
;
but
of
that
Birth
are
we
,
which
hath
no
crown
,
no
glory
,
nor
rest
,
under
the
Sun
;
and
a
Birth
is
brought
forth
amongst
us
which
is
Heir
of
another
Kingdom
,
and
Possessor
of
another
Crown
,
whose
glorying
is
in
the
Lord
all
the
Day
long
;
and
he
is
our
Refuge
,
our
Rock
,
and
our
Fortress
against
all
our
Enemies
;
and
what
though
the
Wicked
arm
themselves
,
and
the
Ungodly
bend
their
Bow
;
what
though
all
sorts
of
People
,
from
the
Prince
upon
his
Throne
,
to
the
Beggar
upon
the
Dunghil
,
exalt
themselves
against
the
despised
People
of
the
Lord's
Inheritance
,
who
for
his
Name
's
sake
are
kill'd
all
the
day
long
:
What
though
the
Wise-men
bring
forth
their
Arguments
;
and
what
though
the
Rulers
bring
forth
unrighteous
Judgments
against
the
Seed
that
God
hath
blessed
;
what
though
the
Revilers
and
Scorners
open
their
mouthes
,
and
Reproachers
and
Revilers
cast
out
their
bitter
words
,
as
a
Flood
,
against
the
Remnant
of
the
Woman's
Seed
,
that
has
long
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
:
And
what
then
,
if
the
Teachers
,
the
Prophets
,
and
the
Elders
and
the
Heads
,
and
Wise
men
of
the
World
set
themselves
to
pray
,
and
preach
and
print
against
the
chosen
Seed
of
Iacob
;
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
though
this
is
come
to
pass
,
and
Hell
open
her
Mouth
,
and
her
Floods
break
forth
to
overflow
,
and
be
much
more
increased
;
yet
shall
the
King
of
Righteousness
rule
among
his
People
,
and
his
Presence
will
not
forsake
his
chosen
Ones
:
but
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
a
Mighty
and
Terrible
One
;
and
the
shout
of
a
King
is
amongst
us
;
and
the
Dread
and
Terror
of
the
Almighty
covereth
us
,
and
it
goeth
before
us
,
and
compasseth
us
about
:
And
the
Lord
is
working
a
Work
in
the
Earth
mighty
and
wonderful
;
he
is
gathering
the
Scattered
,
and
binding
up
the
Broken-hearted
;
and
his
People
shall
dwell
in
safety
,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid
,
and
no
Weapon
that
is
formed
against
them
shall
prosper
,
nor
no
Hand
that
is
lifted
up
shall
prevail
;
for
Sion
shall
rise
out
of
the
Dust
,
her
beautiful
Garments
shall
be
put
on
,
and
Mourning
and
Sorrow
shall
flee
away
,
and
her
Light
is
risen
that
is
everlasting
,
and
the
Sun
shall
never
godown
,
but
his
day
shall
remain
for
ever
,
and
the
Night
shall
not
again
cover
her
brightness
,
nor
the
Sun
set
upon
her
habitations
;
the
City
that
hath
long
laid
waste
,
shall
again
be
builded
;
and
the
dwelling
that
hath
long
been
without
Inhabitant
,
shall
be
replenished
;
for
the
numberless
seed
of
Iacob
is
coming
out
of
Egypt
,
that
will
replenish
the
whole
Earth
,
and
the
seed
of
Esau
shall
become
bondmen
:
and
wherefore
are
you
gathered
together
?
and
to
what
purpose
have
the
wicked
spent
their
strength
to
oppose
what
the
Lord
is
bringing
to
pass
?
shall
not
all
our
Enemies
be
broken
to
pieces
,
and
will
not
the
Lord
grind
them
to
Powder
?
will
he
not
marr
their
Beauty
,
and
stain
their
pride
?
will
he
not
bring
down
their
crowns
,
and
corrupt
their
glory
,
and
stain
it
with
his
Fire
of
Wrath
,
and
make
them
ashamed
of
their
Wayes
and
Doctrines
?
Hear
this
ye
Priests
,
and
howl
,
and
lament
for
the
misery
that
is
coming
upon
you
;
the
Lord
hath
laid
you
naked
,
and
made
you
bare
,
and
you
are
seen
as
you
are
,
and
the
Elect
is
risen
amongst
us
which
ye
cannot
deceive
;
but
alas
,
wo
is
me
,
how
have
you
caused
the
people
to
err
!
and
how
have
you
led
the
blind
out
or
the
way
!
and
how
is
truth
fallen
in
your
Streets
!
and
you
have
daubed
falsly
with
untempered
Morter
,
and
have
cried
peace
to
the
wicked
,
and
condemned
the
righteous
;
and
all
this
hath
vexed
the
righteous
soul
,
and
the
Lord
will
now
arise
,
and
is
risen
,
and
you
shall
not
resist
,
and
escape
the
stroak
of
his
hand
,
which
will
come
upon
you
,
and
bruise
you
as
a
Milstone
;
for
you
have
caused
the
wicked
to
rejoyce
and
the
righteous
to
mourn
;
and
you
have
made
sad
his
heart
,
whom
God
hath
not
made
sad
:
have
not
you
fed
your selves
with
the
fat
,
and
clothed
with
the
Wooll
?
and
have
not
the
peoples
souls
been
starved
,
and
leanness
been
upon
them
all
,
your
plants
are
dry
,
and
barren
trees
that
bring
forth
no
good
fruit
;
and
your
people
are
like
a
Wilderness
that
is
untilled
,
and
unploughed
,
and
undressed
;
and
your
flocks
are
like
wild
Asses
upon
the
Mountains
,
that
are
untamed
;
as
rude
as
the
Horse
,
&
Mule
,
that
know
no
Bridle
;
and
now
it
is
seen
what
the
end
of
your
Ministry
is
,
and
what
fruit
it
hath
brought
forth
;
the
Lord
hath
taken
notice
,
and
he
hath
beheld
how
you
have
loytered
,
and
lain
idle
,
and
the
Nations
lie
yet
like
fallow
ground
,
that
bears
no
fruit
;
and
mens
hearts
,
are
untouched
with
absence
of
Gods
Word
,
and
there
is
no
sound
,
true
and
perfect
sence
amongst
your
people
of
the
dealings
of
the
Lord
;
nor
of
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
,
but
they
remain
in
great
Blindness
and
Ignorance
,
void
of
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
for
ye
have
not
caused
them
to
hear
his
Word
,
but
you
have
told
your
Dreams
,
and
your
false
Visions
,
and
you
have
spoken
Imaginations
of
your
hearts
,
and
not
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
;
neither
have
you
stood
in
his
Counsel
,
nor
hearkened
to
his
Voyce
,
and
therefore
people
remain
unprofited
;
but
what
they
and
you
know
,
it
s
naturally
,
and
not
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
but
as
dry
Trees
you
are
,
not
taught
of
the
Father
,
and
as
rough
Goats
in
the
nature
of
Swine
that
is
polluted
in
the
silth
of
the
World
,
and
in
the
nature
of
Dogs
,
and
Lyons
,
devouring
one
another
,
and
biting
one
another
,
and
killing
one
another
,
which
things
were
not
in
the
Churches
of
Christ
,
and
we
have
a
great
controversie
with
you
,
and
that
from
the
Lord
;
we
have
tried
you
,
searched
you
,
and
discovered
your
Foundation
,
and
it
s
not
sound
,
nor
will
not
stand
in
the
trial
;
we
have
fetcht
your
Line
from
the
first
original
,
and
we
have
found
out
your
beginning
,
and
we
find
yours
of
that
Race
,
which
Christ
prophesied
of
that
should
come
,
which
should
deceive
many
,
having
the
sheeps
cloathing
,
but
inwardly
revening
,
and
which
Iohn
saw
was
come
,
and
went
out
from
the
Apostles
,
and
true
Churches
,
which
went
from
the
truth
,
and
went
into
the
World
,
and
had
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
;
here
began
the
Race
,
in
the
Apostacy
of
the
Churches
;
and
when
they
Apostatized
from
the
true
Faith
,
then
came
your
original
up
,
and
the
World
went
after
them
,
and
all
that
dwelt
upon
the
Earth
worshipped
the
Beast
,
that
hath
reigned
through
all
this
time
of
Apostacy
,
which
hath
been
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
;
and
we
find
your
original
goes
no
further
then
to
the
false
Brethren
,
and
false
Apostles
,
which
went
out
from
the
true
Apostles
,
and
run
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
preached
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
through
covetousness
made
merchandize
of
souls
,
seeking
mony
and
gain
to
themselves
;
I
say
we
find
your
original
begins
there
,
and
your
Line
goes
no
further
,
and
never
came
your
first
rise
so
far
as
the
true
Apostles
,
you
were
not
in
your
beginning
of
their
life
nor
birth
,
nor
cannot
be
reckoned
from
their
original
,
for
you
succeed
not
them
;
but
you
truely
succeed
the
false
Apostles
,
and
false
brethren
,
which
Christ
prophesied
should
come
after
his
days
,
and
Iohn
saw
was
come
,
and
coming
in
his
days
;
and
we
find
you
of
this
stock
and
Generation
;
and
now
you
are
discovered
to
be
contrary
to
the
true
Apostles
,
and
agreeing
with
the
false
Apostles
,
in
Call
,
in
Practice
,
in
Maintenance
,
and
in
all
things
;
and
the
Line
of
true
judgement
is
laid
upon
you
all
,
and
you
are
measured
,
and
found
too
short
,
and
weighed
and
sound
too
light
,
and
we
will
deal
truely
with
you
in
judgement
;
first
we
do
hold
controversie
with
you
,
as
concerning
your
Call
,
your
Ministry
,
it
agreeth
not
with
,
but
is
contrary
to
what
the
Apostles
Call
was
;
they
were
called
by
power
from
on
high
,
and
were
made
Ministers
by
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
received
from
God
;
and
their
Ministry
was
an
absolute
Gift
from
God
,
and
not
to
be
bought
and
sold
for
mony
,
and
they
were
anointed
of
the
Father
,
by
his
Spirit
of
promise
,
and
to
Preach
the
Gospel
;
but
your
Call
is
at
Schools
,
and
Colledges
,
in
such
,
and
such
Orders
,
which
are
attained
through
natural
industry
,
such
,
and
such
Arts
,
and
Sciences
,
and
Degrees
,
having
been
so
many
years
brought
up
in
studying
natural
Arts
&
natural
Languages
,
this
is
your
Ordination
and
your
Call
,
having
no
respect
to
receive
,
or
to
wait
for
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
to
be
made
Ministers
thereby
;
and
this
is
different
from
the
Apostles
and
true
Ministers
,
and
equal
and
according
to
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
Secondly
,
Again
you
are
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
the
true
Ministry
and
Ministers
of
Christ
in
Practise
;
for
they
were
led
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
which
dwelt
in
them
,
and
they
preached
the
Gospel
by
the
Spirit
,
and
spake
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance
,
and
went
up
and
down
the
World
through
Nations
,
converting
People
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
and
what
they
had
handled
,
tasted
,
seen
,
and
felt
of
the
Word
of
Life
in
them
,
that
they
declared
to
others
,
and
preached
the
Gospel
,
which
they
had
not
received
from
man
,
nor
by
man
,
but
by
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
in
them
;
but
your
Practices
are
not
such
but
contrary
,
for
the
spirit
of
this
World
leads
you
,
and
it
you
follow
in
all
your
Works
,
in
your
Preaching
,
Praying
,
and
in
your
whole
Worship
,
in
Form
and
Tradition
,
what
you
have
studied
for
out
of
Books
,
and
old
Authors
you
preach
to
people
;
and
what
ye
have
noted
in
a
Book
,
that
you
preach
by
an
Hour-glass
,
and
not
as
the
Spirit
of
God
gives
you
utterance
;
and
you
seek
out
,
and
enquire
after
great
Benefices
,
and
much
Money
by
the
year
;
and
where
there
is
much
Tythes
,
and
Gleb-Lands
,
and
such
like
;
thither
and
to
such
a
Place
you
go
,
and
seek
after
,
to
be
Minister
there
;
and
there
you
remain
twenty
,
forty
,
more
,
or
fewer
years
,
as
you
can
agree
with
the
People
;
and
while
they
will
give
you
so
much
as
will
content
you
,
and
maintain
you
,
your
Wives
and
Families
as
you
say
,
&
respect
not
whether
any
be
converted
to
God
by
your
preaching
;
but
people
remain
always
in
blindness
and
ignorance
,
generally
,
and
without
the
Knowledg
of
God
;
for
you
preach
other
mens
words
,
and
what
you
have
collected
in
your
Imaginations
from
the
Saints
words
,
an
Hour
by
a
Glass
,
leaning
upon
a
soft
Cushion
,
and
for
Money
and
Hire
,
preaching
to
the
people
;
and
this
is
your
manner
of
practice
,
and
Ministry
in
these
Nations
;
but
thus
did
not
the
Apostles
,
nor
Christ's
Ministers
,
but
the
contrary
;
and
by
your
Fruits
and
Works
it
appears
,
that
you
are
not
Followers
of
that
Spirit
that
Christ
and
his
Ministers
were
guided
by
,
neither
are
lawfull
Successors
of
the
Apostles
,
but
by
your
Fruits
and
Practice
you
manifest
,
that
the
Lord
never
sent
you
,
nor
Christ
never
called
you
into
his
Service
to
be
his
Ministers
;
for
in
all
your
Practices
,
and
in
your
whole
Performances
of
Worship
you
differ
,
and
do
not
agree
,
but
are
contrary
to
what
the
Practice
and
Worship
of
Christ's
Ministers
and
Churches
were
in
the
days
of
the
Apostles
;
this
I
charge
upon
you
,
in
the
Name
,
and
by
the
Authority
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
am
able
to
prove
it
against
you
,
face
to
face
,
or
otherwise
to
shew
that
you
are
not
of
the
same
spirit
,
but
contrary
to
the
Saints
and
Apostles
of
old
,
and
so
not
true
Succeeders
of
them
,
nor
lawful
Ministers
of
Christ
,
as
to
all
people
it
is
,
and
shall
be
made
manifest
.
Thirdly
,
You
disagree
,
and
are
contrary
altogether
to
the
true
Ministry
,
and
to
the
Apostles
,
in
respect
of
your
Maintenance
and
Wages
;
for
the
Wages
which
Christ
allowed
his
Ministers
,
was
,
into
whatsoever
House
they
entered
,
that
was
worthy
,
they
might
eat
such
things
as
are
set
before
them
;
for
the
Workman
(
saith
he
)
is
worthy
of
his
Hire
;
and
the
Apostles
eat
only
of
the
Fruit
of
the
Vineyard
that
they
had
planted
,
and
of
the
Milk
of
the
Flock
which
they
kept
;
by
a
free
gift
of
the
People
,
which
they
had
begotten
to
the
Faith
,
and
to
whom
they
sowed
spiritual
things
;
it
was
but
as
a
small
matter
if
they
reaped
their
carnal
things
,
yet
as
a
free
gift
they
would
do
it
,
and
the
Apostle
said
,
he
would
not
make
the
Gospel
of
Christ
chargeable
;
And
in
this
manner
were
Christ
Ministers
and
Ministry
in
Wages
and
Gifts
upheld
and
maintained
outwardly
in
the
World
.
But
your
Practise
and
Maintenance
is
not
such
,
but
contrary
,
as
is
fully
made
manifest
;
for
you
will
have
so
much
by
the
year
promised
to
you
in
Tythes
,
Money
,
or
Gleab-lands
,
or
Stipends
,
and
of
Drunkards
,
and
Swearers
,
and
prophane
Wordly
People
,
who
are
not
Sheep
of
Christ's
Flock
,
nor
Plants
of
his
Vine-yard
,
you
will
have
so
much
of
each
of
them
;
and
of
every
man
,
in
such
a
compass
,
as
you
call
your
Parish
;
and
if
any
either
out
of
Covetousness
,
or
good
Conscience
,
cannot
pay
you
,
you
sue
at
Law
,
and
cast
into
Prison
,
for
Wages
,
and
spoil
their
Goods
,
and
take
treble
,
nay
sometimes
Five
double
damage
,
and
through
Violence
and
Injustice
,
and
Cruelty
are
you
maintained
in
such
a
manner
,
and
not
as
the
true
Ministers
and
Apostles
of
Christ
were
,
but
in
a
way
and
manner
quite
contrary
,
as
it
is
manifest
;
and
so
herein
it
is
proved
,
that
you
are
not
lawful
Successors
of
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
.
Fourthly
,
Again
you
follow
not
the
Apostles
,
and
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
are
contrary
to
them
in
Doctrine
,
as
this
following
Volumn
will
clearly
manifest
,
which
for
this
very
end
is
collected
from
your
own
Mouths
and
Pens
,
that
all
men
may
see
what
you
are
,
and
what
you
hold
and
profess
;
and
being
truely
laid
down
,
and
answered
,
let
your selves
,
and
all
sober
men
compare
your
doctrines
and
sayings
with
the
Doctrines
of
the
Apostles
,
and
they
may
see
you
agree
not
with
them
,
but
are
contrary
to
them
.
And
now
Friends
,
to
all
you
that
profess
your selves
to
be
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
I
do
hereby
declare
unto
you
,
in
the
Name
and
Authority
of
the
Lord
,
that
we
have
a
controversie
with
you
,
and
a
great
charge
against
you
in
all
these
things
,
in
your
Call
,
in
your
Practice
,
and
in
your
Maintenance
,
and
in
your
Doctrines
,
and
our
Mouthes
hath
the
Lord
opened
,
and
they
cannot
be
shut
,
from
declaring
and
crying
against
you
,
as
such
whom
the
Lord
never
sent
,
but
are
contrary
to
Christ
,
his
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
in
all
your
Ways
,
and
Practices
,
and
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
certainly
against
you
,
and
his
Power
and
Dread
will
comeover
you
,
and
lie
upon
your
Consciences
.
Now
Reader
,
whatsoever
thou
are
that
reads
this
following
Volumn
,
if
thy
mind
be
sober
,
and
thy
heart
right
towards
God
,
thou
may
come
to
a
good
understanding
of
the
Ground
and
cause
of
this
great
controversie
,
between
the
Priests
and
the
Professors
of
this
Nation
,
and
us
,
who
are
in
scorn
called
Quakers
;
for
it
is
not
unknown
to
Nations
,
of
this
great
debate
and
battel
,
now
for
some
years
of
continuance
in
this
Nation
,
no
man
can
be
ignorant
,
what
putting
in
Prisons
,
and
what
Persecuting
,
and
what
Preaching
,
and
Printing
against
us
,
and
what
Reports
and
Fame
hath
been
through
this
Nation
for
some
years
past
;
and
the
Quakers
so
called
,
have
written
,
and
spoken
,
and
printed
,
against
the
Priests
&
their
Worships
,
and
Ways
,
and
Doctrines
,
and
declared
against
them
,
as
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
,
and
such
as
never
were
sent
of
God
;
and
on
the
other
hand
,
thus
have
the
Priests
,
and
more
abundantly
cried
out
against
,
and
printed
against
the
Quakers
,
as
Hereticks
and
Deceivers
,
and
Witches
,
and
all
what
they
could
say
that
's
evil
,
and
these
things
being
not
unknown
,
but
publickly
brought
to
pass
;
therefore
it
will
be
good
to
discover
unto
every
man
,
the
first
ground
and
cause
of
this
great
Strife
,
and
the
matter
of
it
,
and
its
beginning
,
so
that
all
may
know
the
certainty
of
these
things
,
and
know
they
are
not
without
good
ground
,
and
sufficient
reason
on
our
part
;
to
wit
,
That
we
have
just
cause
to
do
,
and
strive
against
that
Generation
of
Priests
and
Teachers
,
and
that
we
do
nothing
rashly
,
and
without
sufficient
reason
.
It
is
now
about
seven
years
since
the
Lord
raised
us
up
in
the
North
of
England
,
and
opened
our
Mouthes
in
this
his
Spirit
;
and
what
we
were
before
in
our
Religion
,
Profession
,
and
Practices
is
well
known
to
that
part
of
the
Country
,
how
generally
we
were
men
of
the
strictest
Sect
,
and
of
the
greatest
Zeal
in
the
Performance
of
outward
righteousness
;
and
went
through
,
and
tried
all
sorts
of
Teachers
,
and
run
from
Mountain
to
Mountain
,
and
from
man
to
man
,
and
from
one
Form
to
another
,
as
do
many
to
this
very
day
,
who
yet
remain
ungathered
to
the
Lord
,
and
such
we
were
,
(
to
say
no
more
of
us
)
that
sought
the
Lord
,
and
desired
the
knowledge
of
his
Wayes
more
then
any
thing
beside
;
and
for
one
I
may
speak
,
who
from
a
Child
,
even
a
few
years
old
,
he
set
his
face
to
seek
and
find
the
Saviour
,
and
more
then
Life
and
Treasure
,
or
any
mortal
Crown
sought
after
with
all
his
heart
,
the
one
thing
that
is
needful
,
to
wit
,
the
Knowledge
of
God
:
And
after
our
long
seeking
,
the
Lord
appeared
to
us
,
and
revealed
his
glory
in
us
,
and
gave
us
of
his
Spirit
from
Heaven
,
and
poured
it
upon
us
,
and
gave
us
of
his
Wisdom
to
guide
us
,
whereby
we
saw
all
the
World
,
and
the
true
state
of
all
things
,
&
the
true
condition
of
the
Church
in
her
present
estate
;
first
the
Lord
brought
us
by
his
Power
,
&
Wisdom
,
and
the
Word
by
which
all
things
were
made
,
to
know
and
understand
,
and
see
perfectly
that
God
had
given
to
us
,
every
one
of
us
in
particular
,
a
Light
from
himself
shining
in
our
hearts
and
consciences
,
which
Light
,
Christ
his
Son
,
the
Saviour
,
of
the
World
had
lighted
every
man
,
and
all
Mankind
withal
;
which
Light
in
us
we
found
sufficient
to
reprove
us
,
&
convince
us
of
every
evil
deed
,
word
and
thought
,
and
by
it
,
in
us
,
we
come
to
know
good
from
evil
,
right
from
wrong
,
and
whatsoever
is
of
God
,
and
according
to
him
,
from
what
is
of
the
Devil
,
and
what
is
contrary
to
God
in
motion
,
word
and
work
;
and
this
Light
gave
us
to
discern
between
truth
and
error
,
between
every
false
and
right
way
,
and
it
perfectly
discovered
to
us
the
true
state
of
all
things
,
and
we
thereby
came
to
know
man
,
what
he
was
in
his
creation
before
transgression
,
and
how
he
was
deceived
and
overcome
by
the
Devil
;
and
his
estate
in
transgression
,
and
in
disobedience
,
and
how
he
is
drove
and
banished
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
sorrow
and
anguish
which
he
is
in
,
and
to
undergo
;
and
also
by
the
Light
in
us
,
we
perfectly
came
to
know
the
way
of
Restauration
,
and
the
means
to
be
restored
;
and
the
state
of
man
being
come
out
of
Transgression
and
restored
,
these
things
to
us
were
revealed
by
the
Light
within
us
,
which
Christ
had
given
us
,
and
lightened
us
withal
,
what
man
was
before
Transgression
,
and
what
he
is
in
Transgression
,
and
what
he
is
being
redeemed
out
of
Transgression
,
and
also
the
Light
which
shineth
in
every
one
of
us
,
as
to
it
our
minds
became
turned
,
and
our
hearts
inclined
,
the
perfect
Estate
of
the
Church
we
came
to
know
;
her
Estate
before
the
Apostles
days
,
and
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
her
present
Estate
we
found
to
be
as
a
Woman
who
had
once
been
cloathed
with
the
Sun
,
and
the
Moon
under
her
feet
,
who
brought
forth
him
that
was
to
rule
the
Nations
;
but
she
was
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
there
sitting
desolate
,
in
her
place
,
that
was
prepared
of
God
for
such
a
season
;
which
season
,
in
the
very
end
thereof
,
when
the
time
of
her
sojourning
was
towards
a
full
end
,
then
were
we
brought
forth
;
if
any
have
an
Ear
they
may
hear
;
so
that
all
these
things
concerning
man
,
and
concerning
the
times
and
seasons
,
and
the
changing
and
renewing
of
times
,
and
all
things
that
pertain
to
Salvation
,
and
Redemption
,
and
Eternal
Life
,
needfull
for
man
to
know
;
all
this
was
revealed
,
discovered
,
and
made
known
to
us
,
by
the
Light
which
was
in
us
,
which
Christ
had
lighted
us
withal
.
And
we
found
this
Light
to
be
a
sufficient
Teacher
,
to
lead
us
to
Christ
,
from
whence
this
Light
came
,
and
thereby
it
gave
us
to
receive
Christ
,
and
to
witness
him
to
dwell
in
us
;
and
through
it
the
new
Covenant
we
came
to
enter
into
,
to
be
made
Heirs
of
Life
and
Salvation
;
and
in
all
things
we
found
the
Light
which
we
were
enlightened
withal
,
and
all
Mankind
(
which
is
Christ
)
to
be
alone
and
only
sufficient
to
bring
to
Life
and
eternal
Salvation
,
and
that
all
who
did
own
the
Light
in
them
which
Christ
hath
enlightened
every
man
withal
,
they
needed
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
the
Lord
was
their
Teacher
,
by
his
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
they
received
the
holy
Anointing
.
And
so
we
ceased
from
the
teachings
of
all
men
,
and
their
words
,
and
their
Worships
,
and
their
Temples
,
and
all
their
Baptisms
,
and
Churches
,
and
we
ceased
from
our
own
Words
,
and
Professions
,
and
Practises
in
Religion
,
in
times
before
zealously
performed
by
us
,
through
divers
Forms
,
and
we
become
Fools
for
Christ's
sake
,
that
we
might
become
truely
wise
;
and
by
this
Light
of
Christ
in
us
were
we
led
out
of
all
false
Wayes
and
false
Preachings
,
and
false
Ministers
,
and
we
met
together
often
,
and
waited
upon
the
Lord
in
pure
Silence
,
from
our
own
words
,
and
all
mens
words
,
and
hearkned
to
the
Voice
of
the
Lord
,
and
felt
his
Word
in
our
hearts
,
to
burn
up
and
beat
down
all
that
was
contrary
to
God
,
and
we
obeyed
the
Light
of
Christ
in
us
,
and
followed
the
Motions
of
the
Lords
pure
Spirit
,
and
took
up
the
Cross
to
all
Earthly
Glories
,
Crowns
,
and
Ways
,
and
denied
our selves
,
our
Relations
,
and
all
that
stood
in
the
way
betwixt
us
and
the
Lord
,
and
we
chose
to
suffer
with
and
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
rather
then
all
the
pleasures
upon
Earth
,
or
all
our
former
zealous
Professions
and
Practices
in
Religion
,
without
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
,
which
the
World
yet
lives
in
.
And
while
waiting
upon
the
Lord
in
Silence
,
as
often
we
did
for
many
Hours
together
,
with
our
minds
and
hearts
towards
him
,
being
stayed
in
the
Light
of
Christ
within
us
,
from
all
thoughts
,
fleshly
Motions
,
and
desires
,
in
our
diligent
waiting
and
fear
of
his
Name
,
and
hearkning
to
his
Word
,
we
re-received
often
the
pouring
down
of
the
Spirit
upon
us
,
and
the
Gift
of
God's
holy
eternal
Spirit
,
as
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
and
our
heart
were
made
glad
,
and
our
Tongues
loosed
,
and
our
Mouthes
opened
,
and
we
spake
with
new
Tongues
,
as
the
Lord
gave
us
utterance
,
and
as
his
Spirit
led
us
,
which
was
poured
down
upon
us
,
on
Sons
and
Daughters
;
and
to
us
hereby
was
the
deep
things
of
God
revealed
,
and
things
unutterable
were
known
and
made
manifest
,
and
the
Glory
of
the
Father
was
revealed
;
and
then
begun
we
to
sing
Praises
to
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
and
to
the
Lamb
for
ever
,
who
had
redeemed
us
to
God
;
and
brought
us
out
of
the
Captivity
and
Bondage
of
the
World
,
and
put
an
end
to
Sin
and
Death
,
and
all
this
was
by
and
through
,
and
in
the
Light
of
Christ
within
us
;
and
much
more
might
be
declared
hereof
,
that
which
could
not
be
believed
,
if
it
were
spoken
,
of
the
several
and
particular
Operations
and
Manifestations
of
the
everlasting
Spirit
that
was
given
us
,
and
revealed
in
us
:
but
this
is
the
sum
;
Life
and
Immortality
was
brought
to
light
;
Power
from
on
High
,
and
Wisdom
was
made
manifest
,
&
the
Day
everlasting
appeared
unto
us
,
and
the
joyful
Sun
of
Righteousness
did
arise
and
shine
forth
unto
us
,
and
in
us
;
and
the
holy
Anointing
,
the
everlasting
Comforter
we
received
;
and
the
Babe
of
Glory
was
born
;
and
the
Heir
of
the
Promise
brought
forth
to
Reign
over
the
Earth
,
and
over
Hell
and
Death
,
whereby
we
entered
into
everlasting
Union
,
and
Fellowship
,
and
Covenant
with
the
Lord
God
,
whose
Mercies
are
sure
,
and
infinite
,
and
his
Promise
never
fails
:
and
much
might
be
spoken
,
but
this
is
the
sum
;
we
were
raised
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
are
changed
from
Satans
power
to
God
,
and
gathered
from
all
the
dumb
Shepherds
,
and
off
all
the
barren
Mountains
,
into
the
Fold
of
eternal
Peace
and
Rest
;
and
mighty
and
wonderful
things
hath
the
Lord
wrought
for
us
,
and
by
us
,
by
his
own
out-stretched
Arm.
And
thus
we
became
Followers
of
the
Lamb
whithersoever
he
goes
,
and
he
hath
called
us
to
make
war
in
righteousness
,
for
his
Name
sake
against
Hell
and
Death
,
and
all
the
Powers
of
Darkness
;
and
against
the
Beast
and
false
Prophet
,
which
have
deceived
the
Nations
;
and
we
are
of
the
Royal
Seed
Elect
,
Chosen
,
and
Faithful
;
and
we
war
in
Truth
,
and
just
Judgment
;
not
with
Weapons
that
are
carnal
,
but
by
the
Sword
that
goes
out
of
his
Mouth
,
which
shall
slay
the
Wicked
,
and
cut
them
to
pieces
;
and
after
this
manner
was
our
Birth
,
and
bringing
forth
;
and
thus
hath
the
Lord
chosen
us
,
and
made
us
an
Army
dreadful
and
terrible
,
before
whom
the
Wicked
do
fear
and
tremble
;
and
our
Standard
is
Truth
,
Justice
,
Righteousness
&
Equity
;
and
all
that
comes
unto
us
must
cleave
thereunto
,
and
fight
under
that
Banner
without
fear
,
and
without
doubting
,
and
they
shall
never
be
ashamed
,
nor
put
to
flight
,
neither
shall
ever
they
be
conquer'd
by
Hell
,
or
Death
,
or
by
the
Powers
of
Darkness
;
but
the
Lord
shall
be
their
Armour
,
Weapon
,
and
Defence
for
evermore
;
and
they
that
follow
the
Lamb
shall
overcome
,
and
get
the
Victory
over
the
Beast
,
and
over
the
Dragon
,
and
over
the
Gates
of
Hell
;
for
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
and
who
shall
be
able
to
make
us
afraid
?
Then
having
thus
armed
us
with
Power
,
Strength
and
Wisdom
,
and
Dominion
according
to
his
Mind
,
and
we
having
learned
of
him
,
and
being
taught
of
him
in
all
things
;
and
he
having
chosen
us
into
his
Work
,
and
put
his
Sword
into
our
hands
,
and
given
us
perfect
Commission
to
go
forth
in
his
Name
and
Authority
,
having
the
Word
from
his
Mouth
,
what
to
cut
down
,
and
what
to
preserve
;
and
having
the
everlasting
Gospel
to
preach
to
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
;
and
being
commanded
in
spirit
to
leave
all
,
and
follow
him
,
and
go
forth
in
his
Work
;
yea
,
an
absolute
necessity
was
laid
upon
us
,
and
wo
unto
us
if
we
preacht
not
the
Gospel
;
for
when
we
looked
abroad
,
and
beheld
the
World
,
behold
it
was
altogether
Darkness
,
and
even
as
a
Wilderness
,
and
desolate
and
barren
of
good
Fruit
;
and
Death
reigned
over
men
,
and
no
good
Fruit
was
brought
forth
to
God
,
but
Leaves
we
beheld
upon
every
Soul
;
and
all
men
and
people
were
made
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
Whoredoms
,
and
the
Whores
Cup
they
had
drunk
,
and
was
committing
Fornication
with
the
great
Whore
,
and
she
reigned
over
the
Kings
and
peoples
of
the
Earth
;
and
the
Antichrist
was
set
up
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
ruling
over
all
,
and
having
brought
Nations
under
his
Power
,
and
set
up
his
Government
over
all
,
for
many
Ages
;
even
since
the
days
of
the
Apostles
and
true
Churches
hath
he
reign'd
,
while
the
Woman
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
the
Man-Child
caught
up
to
God
.
Christ
said
Antichrist
should
come
,
and
put
on
the
Sheeps
cloathing
,
and
be
inwardly
a
ravening
Woolf
;
and
Iohn
saw
that
Antichrist
was
come
in
his
dayes
,
and
he
went
forth
then
from
the
true
Church
,
and
went
into
the
World
,
and
deceived
the
World
;
and
ever
since
his
Kingdom
hath
reigned
over
Nations
;
for
then
he
begun
to
exalt
himself
,
and
it
is
sixteen
hundred
years
since
;
all
which
time
Antichrist
that
hath
had
the
Sheeps
Cloathing
,
but
inwardly
a
Ravener
,
and
hath
ruled
and
reigned
;
and
this
we
saw
and
perceived
,
in
the
very
time
of
our
birth
and
bringing
forth
;
and
we
behold
Nations
as
a
Wilderness
untilled
,
and
mens
Hearts
as
the
fallow
Ground
unbroken
up
,
and
not
plowed
nor
sown
with
the
good
Seed
of
Gods
Kingdom
;
so
that
we
saw
all
states
and
orders
of
men
corrupted
and
degenerated
from
what
they
ought
to
be
,
and
from
what
God
had
once
ordained
them
:
As
for
the
Ministry
first
,
we
looking
upon
it
with
a
single
eye
,
in
the
Light
of
the
Spirit
of
God
which
had
Anointed
us
,
we
behold
it
clearly
(
which
formerly
we
had
been
stumbling
at
,
and
much
doubting
of
,
that
it
was
not
the
perfect
Ministry
of
Christ
,
for
many
years
before
)
not
to
be
of
Christ
nor
sent
of
him
,
nor
having
the
Commission
power
&
Authority
of
Christ
,
as
his
Ministry
had
in
the
days
of
the
true
Churches
;
but
in
all
things
,
as
in
Call
,
practice
,
maintenance
,
and
in
every
thing
else
in
fruits
and
effects
,
we
found
it
disagree
,
and
be
wholly
contrary
to
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
in
the
days
of
the
Apostles
,
and
likewise
we
truely
beheld
it
to
be
in
Call
,
practice
,
and
Maintenance
,
and
all
things
the
very
same
in
fruits
and
effects
;
with
the
false
Ministry
and
false
Prophets
,
and
false
Apostles
,
and
Deceivers
of
old
;
and
this
I
do
testifie
,
and
am
able
to
prove
in
the
Spirit
and
Authority
of
the
Lord
,
that
the
publick
Ministry
,
as
now
it
stands
generally
,
is
wholy
degenerated
from
what
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
once
was
,
and
differs
,
and
is
contrary
in
all
things
to
what
Christ's
Ministers
were
,
and
agreeth
,
and
is
equal
in
all
things
with
what
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
were
thoughout
all
Ages
;
and
this
I
charge
upon
it
,
in
the
face
and
view
of
all
men
to
whom
this
may
come
;
for
this
we
saw
concerning
it
in
the
beginning
,
and
our
first
assurance
.
And
as
for
other
Places
,
and
Orders
of
men
,
and
Callings
,
we
saw
them
also
corrupted
,
and
degenerated
,
and
evil
and
iniquity
abounding
among
all
sorts
of
people
;
and
blindness
and
darkness
covered
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
of
the
World
;
and
all
people
were
in
their
Transgressions
,
and
making
void
the
Law
of
God
;
and
that
it
was
time
for
the
Lord
to
work
,
and
to
arise
to
ease
himself
of
his
Adversaries
:
and
as
for
all
Churches
(
so
called
)
and
Professions
,
and
Gatherings
of
people
,
we
beheld
you
as
all
in
the
Apostacy
,
and
degeneration
from
the
true
Church
,
not
being
gathered
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
nor
anointed
thereby
,
as
the
true
Members
of
Christ
ever
were
,
but
to
be
in
a
Form
,
and
in
Forms
of
Righteousness
,
without
the
Power
;
and
in
Immitations
,
without
Life
and
perfect
Knowledge
;
so
that
all
the
Practices
of
Religion
we
beheld
without
Power
and
Life
,
though
some
had
a
sincerity
in
them
,
and
a
zeal
,
and
a
desire
towards
the
Lord
,
yet
all
people
erred
in
Judgment
,
and
none
were
guided
in
Judgment
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
;
and
because
of
the
error
in
Judgment
,
that
made
their
zeal
blind
,
and
their
performances
of
Righteousness
not
accepted
,
though
acted
in
some
sincerity
and
zeal
,
because
they
were
not
guided
in
Practice
,
and
led
in
Judgment
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
which
only
leads
into
all
Truth
;
and
none
are
in
the
Truth
,
but
who
are
led
thereby
:
so
that
we
behold
all
Profession
,
but
as
Coverings
with
Figg-leaves
,
while
the
nature
of
Transgression
stood
uncondemned
,
and
not
crucified
:
and
then
we
saw
not
only
the
Performance
and
Practice
in
Church
state
,
and
in
religious
Orders
were
corrupted
,
but
also
Government
,
and
Magistracy
,
and
all
things
in
civil
state
were
not
aright
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
nor
as
the
Lord
required
,
neither
as
he
had
ordained
in
the
beginning
;
for
Government
we
know
,
as
ordained
of
God
,
is
to
punish
,
and
limit
,
and
terrifie
all
Evil-Doers
,
and
to
preserve
and
defend
all
that
do
well
;
and
that
mens
Consciences
are
to
be
left
free
,
and
to
be
ruled
by
the
Lord
alone
,
and
guided
by
his
Spirit
;
and
that
outward
Power
,
and
civil
Magistrates
and
Laws
(
so
called
)
ought
not
to
be
Lord
or
Ruler
in
mens
Consciences
,
nor
over
them
;
but
we
beheld
how
Unrighteousness
and
Iniquity
,
and
Sin
and
Wickedness
was
strengthened
and
encouraged
in
the
Government
,
and
by
such
as
were
in
Authority
;
and
how
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
the
exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
was
abused
,
so
that
it
was
turned
backward
from
what
it
ought
to
be
;
them
that
did
well
were
punished
,
and
limitted
as
Trausgressors
,
and
the
Evil-Doers
were
set
free
,
and
not
made
afraid
;
so
that
we
could
truly
cry
,
Truth
was
faln
in
the
Street
,
and
Justice
and
true
Judgment
turned
backward
,
and
Equity
had
no
place
to
enter
,
and
the
Innocent
were
devoured
through
want
of
true
and
just
Judgment
,
and
the
Needy
were
spoiled
,
and
made
a
prey
,
and
thus
it
was
framed
;
for
no
sooner
had
we
opened
our
Mouthes
,
but
the
Magistrates
began
to
put
us
in
Prison
,
and
execute
great
injustice
upon
us
,
and
became
Oppressors
of
the
Innocent
,
and
laid
grievous
unjust
burdens
upon
us
;
grievous
to
be
born
,
and
true
justice
and
judgment
was
neglected
,
and
wrong
judgement
brought
forth
,
and
good
Government
abused
,
and
men
in
Authority
not
ruled
by
the
Lord
,
neither
ruling
for
the
Lord
among
men
;
and
thus
it
came
to
pass
upon
us
,
through
the
corruption
and
Degeneration
in
Goverment
and
Magistrates
,
which
we
saw
to
be
,
as
it
was
fulfilled
by
them
,
to
wit
,
not
as
the
Lord
required
,
nor
as
he
in
the
beginning
ordained
it
,
but
quite
the
contrary
;
and
this
we
saw
in
the
beginning
,
when
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
was
poured
down
upon
us
,
and
power
from
on
high
was
revealed
to
declare
against
all
the
Abominations
of
the
Earth
,
and
to
make
War
against
all
Corruption
,
in
all
Orders
,
and
Places
,
and
Men.
Then
being
prepared
of
the
Lord
,
and
having
received
Power
from
on
high
,
we
went
forth
as
commanded
of
the
Lord
,
leaving
all
Relations
and
all
things
of
the
World
behind
us
,
that
we
might
fufill
the
work
of
the
Lord
into
which
he
called
us
,
and
with
Flesh
and
Blood
,
nor
any
Creature
,
we
consulted
not
,
nor
took
counsel
of
men
,
but
of
the
Lord
alone
,
who
lifted
up
our
heads
above
the
World
,
and
all
fears
and
doubtings
,
and
was
with
us
in
Power
and
Domininion
,
over
all
that
which
opposed
us
,
which
was
great
and
mighty
,
and
gave
us
power
over
it
all
,
and
to
bind
Kings
in
Chains
,
and
Nobles
in
Fetters
of
Iron
,
and
this
is
the
Saints
honour
;
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
we
sounded
,
and
did
not
spare
,
and
caused
the
Deaf
to
hear
,
the
Blind
to
see
,
and
the
heart
that
was
hardned
to
be
awakened
;
and
the
Dread
of
the
Lord
went
before
us
,
and
behind
us
,
and
teror
took
hold
upon
our
Enemies
;
And
first
of
all
our
Mouthes
were
opened
,
and
our
spirit
filled
with
indignation
against
the
Priests
and
Teachers
,
and
with
them
,
and
against
them
first
we
began
to
war
,
as
being
the
Causers
of
the
people
to
err
,
and
the
Blind-leaders
,
that
carried
the
Blind
into
the
Ditch
,
and
against
them
,
as
the
Fountain
of
all
wickedness
abounding
in
the
Nations
,
and
as
being
the
issue
of
Prophaness
;
for
from
them
hath
Prophaness
gone
forth
in
all
Nations
,
and
against
them
we
cryed
aloud
,
as
being
redeemed
from
their
Mouthes
,
who
had
made
a
prey
upon
us
,
as
they
do
upon
all
that
follow
their
ways
;
and
in
Steeple-houses
we
did
visit
them
often
,
and
in
Markets
and
other
Places
,
as
the
Lord
moved
,
and
made
way
for
us
,
shewing
unto
all
them
,
and
all
their
people
,
that
they
were
not
Lawful
Ministers
of
Christ
,
sent
of
him
,
but
were
Deceivers
and
Antichrists
,
and
such
whom
the
Lord
never
sent
;
and
we
spared
not
publikely
,
and
at
all
seasons
to
utter
forth
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
against
them
and
their
wayes
,
and
against
their
Churches
,
and
Worships
,
and
Practices
,
as
not
being
of
God
,
nor
commanded
by
him
,
by
which
they
deceived
the
World
;
and
this
was
our
first
work
which
we
entred
upon
,
to
thresh
down
the
Deceivers
,
and
lay
them
open
,
that
all
people
might
see
their
shame
,
and
come
to
turn
from
them
,
and
receive
the
Knowledg
of
the
Truth
,
that
they
might
be
saved
;
and
this
we
did
with
no
small
Opposition
nor
danger
,
yea
oftentimes
we
were
in
danger
of
our
lives
,
through
bearing
,
abusing
,
Punishing
,
Haling
,
casting
over
Walls
,
striking
with
Staves
,
and
Cudgels
,
and
Knocking
down
to
the
Ground
,
besides
Reproaching
,
Scorning
,
Revilings
,
and
Houtings
at
,
and
Scoffings
,
and
Slanderings
,
and
all
abuses
that
could
be
thought
or
acted
by
evil
hands
and
Tongues
,
and
often
carried
before
Magistrates
,
with
grievous
Threats
,
and
sometimes
put
in
the
Stocks
,
and
Whipped
,
and
often
Imprisoned
,
and
many
hard
Dealings
against
us
,
the
worst
of
Tongues
or
hands
could
execute
,
sparing
Life
;
of
this
all
the
North-countries
may
witness
;
and
all
these
things
are
sustained
and
suffered
from
people
and
Rulers
,
because
of
our
faithfulness
to
the
Lord
,
and
for
declaring
against
the
false
Deceivers
;
for
nothing
save
onely
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Power
could
have
preserved
us
,
and
carryed
us
through
all
this
;
neither
for
any
reward
outward
whatsoever
,
or
advantage
to
our selves
,
would
we
have
exposed
our selves
to
that
sufferings
and
violence
,
and
dangers
,
which
befell
us
daily
;
but
the
Lord
was
our
exceeding
great
reward
through
all
these
things
,
and
kept
us
in
the
Hollow
of
his
Hand
,
and
under
the
Shadow
of
his
Wings
,
and
gave
us
Dominion
in
Spirit
over
all
our
Enemies
,
and
subdued
them
before
us
;
and
though
Rulers
and
People
were
combined
against
us
,
and
executed
their
injustice
and
violence
upon
us
,
yet
the
Lord
made
us
to
Prosper
,
and
grow
exceedingly
in
Strength
,
Wisdom
and
Number
,
and
the
hearts
of
the
people
enclined
unto
us
,
and
the
Witness
of
God
in
many
stired
for
us
,
for
to
that
in
all
Consciences
in
our
words
and
sufferings
,
and
wayes
,
we
did
commend
our selves
to
be
known
and
approved
.
And
in
the
beginning
we
were
but
few
in
number
,
onely
a
few
that
thus
were
carried
on
and
dealt
withall
,
and
that
had
received
the
Power
from
on
high
in
such
a
measure
,
and
for
such
a
work
;
and
no
sooner
did
the
Lord
appear
to
us
,
and
with
us
,
but
the
Devil
and
his
power
rose
up
against
us
to
destroy
us
,
and
it
wrought
in
Rulers
,
Priests
,
and
People
,
and
all
the
wayes
and
means
invented
by
the
Devil
that
could
be
executed
by
his
Servants
were
brought
sorth
,
to
quench
the
work
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
stop
our
passage
in
what
we
were
called
to
;
did
ye
but
perfectly
know
,
as
we
perfectly
found
the
craftiness
,
and
policy
,
and
wickedness
of
the
Devil
,
how
to
overcome
this
new
born
Babe
,
and
how
to
root
out
forever
this
Plant
,
that
was
newly
sprung
sorth
,
it
would
make
you
admire
and
wonder
with
admiration
;
all
the
Priests
,
and
Rules
were
in
an
uproar
;
the
Priests
they
petitioned
to
the
Magistrates
,
and
run
up
and
down
from
one
Sessions
and
Judicatory
to
another
,
and
took
wicked
Oaths
,
and
slandered
the
Just
with
Lies
and
Reproaches
,
on
purpose
to
incense
all
people
against
us
,
and
the
Magistrates
gave
forth
Warrants
for
the
apprehending
of
some
,
and
made
their
orders
to
break
our
Meetings
,
and
that
we
should
not
meet
in
the
Night
season
;
and
such
men
might
not
pass
abroad
;
and
such
stir
and
Opposition
was
made
against
us
,
it
can
hardly
be
expressed
or
declared
;
there
were
uproars
in
Steeple-houses
,
and
uproars
in
Markets
,
and
often
haling
before
Magistrates
,
and
abused
,
and
threatned
,
and
slandred
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
done
,
and
spoken
against
us
,
and
great
injustice
,
cruelty
and
Oppression
acted
against
us
,
where
ever
we
came
,
and
all
through
the
means
of
the
Priests
,
who
spared
not
to
enact
and
conceive
Mischief
against
us
,
and
sought
daily
to
the
Magistrates
for
Persecution
,
preaching
in
their
Pulpits
,
and
praying
against
us
,
&
setting
days
apart
to
seek
their
God
against
us
,
crying
without
ceasing
in
publick
and
private
,
Heresie
,
Heresie
,
Error
and
Blasphemy
;
and
that
we
were
Deceivers
,
Witches
,
and
Seducers
,
and
such
like
,
the
worst
they
could
say
and
imagine
to
stir
up
the
hearts
of
people
against
us
,
and
running
often
to
the
Assize
,
and
Sessions
and
Courts
to
complain
,
and
inform
upon
false
Oathes
against
us
,
and
through
them
were
the
whole
Countries
in
a
Rage
and
Madness
,
Rulers
and
People
often
Imprisoning
,
and
abusing
,
and
resisting
us
with
Violence
;
banishing
us
out
of
Towns
,
and
putting
of
us
out
of
our
Inns
;
and
often
threatning
,
To
burn
the
Houses
over
our
Heads
;
the
whole
Company
of
Rude
People
in
a
Town
often
gathering
,
and
besetting
a
House
or
Inn
,
about
where
we
were
entred
to
lodge
in
our
Travels
:
We
were
often
exposed
to
difficult
and
hard
Travels
and
Journeys
,
giving
our selves
to
the
Cross
,
to
take
it
up
against
all
Earthly
;
often
drinking
Water
,
and
lying
in
Straw
in
Barnes
after
a
hard
dayes
Journey
;
and
yet
for
all
these
things
the
Power
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
was
with
us
,
and
we
were
carried
on
with
much
Boldness
and
Faithfulness
,
in
Courage
,
and
without
Fear
or
Doubtings
,
through
the
often
hazzard
of
our
lives
many
wayes
,
in
Uproars
by
evil
men
,
and
in
Markets
,
and
Steeple-houses
,
and
also
in
Ttavels
by
Robbers
,
and
every
way
were
we
exposed
to
Dangers
and
Perils
;
but
through
all
,
and
over
all
were
we
carried
,
and
are
preserved
to
this
day
.
And
after
this
manner
it
came
to
pass
concerning
us
,
and
much
more
might
be
said
;
but
this
is
in
short
declar'd
,
how
we
were
entreated
,
and
dealt
withal
by
Priests
,
Rulers
and
People
,
through
all
the
Northern
Counties
of
England
,
in
our
first
going
forth
;
through
which
Counties
we
first
journeyed
out
of
Westmoreland
through
Cumberland
,
Northumberland
,
and
into
some
parts
of
Scotland
,
and
Durham
,
Yorkshire
,
Lancashire
,
Cheshire
,
&c.
and
in
all
these
Counties
much
Opposition
we
had
,
and
exceeding
Sufferings
,
and
cruel
Dealings
from
men
of
all
sorts
;
every
Goal
may
witness
in
every
County
,
how
any
of
them
seldom
were
without
some
of
us
,
or
our
Friends
imprison'd
in
them
this
six
Years
,
and
scarce
one
Steeple-house
or
Market
in
all
these
Counties
,
but
may
witness
what
Beatings
,
what
Bruisings
,
Strikings
,
and
Halings
,
Abusings
,
and
Perils
we
have
suffer'd
and
sustained
:
and
not
one
Priest
in
all
those
Counties
can
clear
himself
from
Hatred
and
Malice
,
and
from
envying
of
us
,
and
doing
Mischief
in
Words
,
and
Works
,
or
Thoughts
,
or
Desires
against
us
;
nor
scarce
one
Justice
,
nor
any
Officer
of
the
Peace
,
can
be
excused
in
all
them
Counties
,
from
plotting
&
acting
Injustice
upon
us
,
and
threatning
&
cnacting
Cruelty
against
us
.
And
I
call
Heaven
and
Earth
to
record
,
and
the
Light
in
every
mans
Conscience
,
and
do
appeal
to
that
in
all
sorts
and
places
of
people
,
That
by
all
sorts
of
people
we
suffer'd
Evil
,
and
unjust
Works
,
and
Actions
,
and
Words
from
them
;
and
let
the
Witness
of
God
in
all
mens
Consciences
,
in
all
the
North
,
give
Testimony
what
Dealings
and
Cruelty
we
suffer'd
,
and
how
we
have
been
dealt
withal
,
and
also
of
our
Patience
;
and
Innocency
under
all
what
they
have
done
to
us
.
But
notwithstanding
,
all
what
was
acted
against
us
,
and
spoken
,
many
hundreds
of
the
Honest
and
Sober
People
owned
us
,
and
also
many
Rude
and
Ungodly
Persons
were
converted
to
the
Truth
;
I
say
many
hundreds
in
all
these
Counties
in
two
years
time
,
were
brought
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
own
us
,
all
which
time
we
laboured
,
and
travelled
in
Patience
,
giving
up
our selves
to
live
or
to
die
,
and
to
all
manner
of
Sufferings
and
Reproaches
,
and
hard
Trials
,
that
we
might
fulfil
faithfully
what
we
were
called
unto
;
Sufferings
without
,
from
open
Enemies
,
and
from
our
own
Kindred
and
Relations
,
and
Sufferings
within
for
the
Seeds
sake
;
and
we
are
well
acquainted
with
griefs
,
yet
in
all
our
Tryals
and
Afflictions
,
the
Lord
never
forsook
us
,
but
his
Wisdom
,
Love
,
and
Life
,
and
Presence
increased
in
us
,
and
with
us
.
Then
in
the
Year
1654
,
as
moved
of
the
Lord
,
we
spread
our selves
South-ward
,
and
entred
into
these
South
Parts
,
and
came
the
first
of
us
into
this
City
of
London
,
in
the
fift
moneth
that
year
,
and
laboured
in
the
Work
of
the
Gospel
,
in
continual
Sufferings
,
and
Oppressions
divers
wayes
,
and
were
oppressed
and
gainsaid
by
the
wise
Men
,
and
by
the
Learned
,
and
had
in
reproach
and
contempt
by
all
the
High
and
Lofty
and
Proud
Professors
;
and
we
were
set
at
nought
,
and
rejected
by
the
fat
Beasts
of
the
South
;
and
it
is
well
known
to
thousands
in
this
City
and
South-Country
,
what
opposition
we
have
had
from
all
sorts
of
People
;
opposed
in
our
own
Meetings
,
and
scorned
,
and
slandered
by
envious
and
reproachfull
Tongues
;
publickly
and
privately
encountered
withall
by
the
Wisest
of
the
City
&
Country
;
challenged
,
and
invited
,
and
ingaged
to
Disputes
by
the
high
Priests
and
Church-members
(
so
called
)
and
written
against
,
&
printed
against
by
the
chiefest
of
men
,
accounted
wise
and
religious
;
which
of
any
Sect
?
and
who
of
all
the
wisest
in
profession
,
and
the
most
zealous
in
practices
of
Religion
(
so
called
)
have
not
at
sometime
or
other
beset
us
,
and
encountred
with
us
in
high
Disputes
and
Controversies
,
opposing
of
us
to
our
Faces
,
and
gain-saying
of
our
Doctrines
,
and
Practices
,
and
denying
of
us
,
and
resisting
of
us
wholly
,
and
crying
against
us
to
be
Deceivers
,
Deluders
,
and
Hereticks
,
and
Blasphemers
,
and
such
like
;
and
that
our
Doctrines
were
deceivable
,
and
error
,
and
factious
,
and
what
not
;
and
that
our
Practises
were
destructive
to
Men
,
Laws
,
and
Government
:
these
things
in
the
worst
nature
have
been
spoken
against
us
without
ceasing
,
by
the
wisest
and
men
of
greatest
Parts
and
most
religious
(
falsly
so
accounted
)
for
this
certain
years
in
the
South
,
as
well
as
in
the
North
;
besides
,
what
loss
have
we
sustained
other
wayes
in
the
South
,
by
Beatings
,
and
Strikings
,
and
Abuses
,
and
Slanders
,
and
false
Reproaches
,
and
haling
before
Magistrates
,
and
Imprisoning
;
and
all
the
like
dealing
from
Priests
,
Rulers
and
People
,
as
we
did
in
the
North
:
yea
,
the
same
hard
dealing
and
cruelty
from
all
sorts
of
people
we
have
suffered
,
and
do
daily
,
as
we
did
in
the
North
;
insomuch
we
are
now
accustomed
to
the
Yoak
,
and
well
acquainted
with
Sorrow
and
Griefs
from
all
sorts
of
people
;
and
were
not
the
Lord
on
our
side
our
Enemies
would
swallow
us
up
quick
,
and
we
had
been
long
since
devoured
by
the
Teeth
of
the
Ungodly
:
so
that
I
may
call
to
witness
all
the
Goals
and
Prisons
in
the
South
,
as
in
the
North
,
and
all
the
Magistrates
&
Judges
,
and
Rulers
,
and
all
Officers
of
the
Law
,
what
sufferings
we
have
sustained
;
and
what
cruel
and
hard
dealing
we
have
undergone
,
and
what
injustice
,
and
unequal
and
false
Judgment
hath
been
executed
upon
us
in
these
five
years
time
;
which
of
the
Goals
may
appear
free
,
where
some
of
us
have
not
suffered
the
loss
of
our
Liberties
unjustly
?
and
who
of
any
justice
of
the
Peace
,
or
any
other
Officer
,
from
the
Judge
to
the
Constable
,
that
can
clear
themselves
from
guilt
in
this
matter
,
and
that
they
have
not
had
a
hand
in
our
unjust
sufferings
?
and
to
the
Witness
of
God
,
in
all
people
of
all
Sorts
,
through
this
whole
Nation
,
and
some
other
,
I
do
appeal
concerning
this
matter
,
how
we
have
been
dealt
withal
,
and
what
we
have
sustained
in
our
persons
,
and
in
our
names
,
&
how
many
Acts
and
Words
of
Cruelty
and
Injustice
we
have
born
&
suffered
,
and
these
Priests
have
been
as
the
Fountain
and
Cause
of
all
this
,
and
the
formost
in
all
this
Iniquity
and
Injustice
by
all
what
they
could
do
to
incense
the
Rulers
and
people
against
us
,
by
Preaching
,
and
Praying
,
and
Writing
,
and
Printing
,
for
the
space
of
this
seven
years
;
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
Mighty
Power
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
hath
been
with
us
,
and
perserved
us
from
Dangers
great
and
many
,
and
carried
us
through
Trials
and
Perplexities
,
and
Sufferings
,
and
not
onely
so
,
but
he
hath
increased
us
in
number
;
so
that
Thousands
and
Ten
Thousands
have
and
may
own
us
,
and
the
Truth
which
we
give
witness
of
,
and
live
therein
?
for
the
eyes
of
all
people
are
beginning
to
be
opened
,
and
the
deaf
Ear
is
unstopped
,
and
the
Way
of
Life
Eternal
is
made
manisest
,
and
the
Lord
is
gathering
his
Flock
,
which
hath
been
scattered
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day
,
whilest
these
false
Idle-Shepherds
,
(
these
Priests
and
Teachers
I
mean
)
have
fed
themselves
with
the
Fat
,
and
cloathed
themselves
with
the
Wool
,
and
laid
down
in
slumber
,
and
not
gathered
the
Flock
,
nor
fed
them
,
but
scattered
them
,
and
driven
them
away
;
and
with
Force
and
with
Cruelty
have
they
ruled
over
the
Heritage
of
the
Lord
;
woe
,
woe
,
unto
these
Shepherds
,
saith
the
Lord
God
,
they
shall
be
confounded
and
put
to
shame
perpetually
,
and
they
shall
be
broken
down
and
never
builded
any
more
,
and
the
Lord
will
pluck
them
up
by
the
roots
,
and
they
shall
never
again
be
planted
.
And
besides
all
their
Petitioning
the
Magistrates
against
us
,
and
preaching
and
praying
against
us
,
and
all
the
evil
and
wickedness
in
Work
,
Word
and
Desire
,
brought
forth
against
us
from
time
to
time
;
yet
(
here
sober
Reader
)
thou
hast
a
Catalogue
,
and
whole
number
of
Books
printed
and
written
against
us
,
&
abundance
of
their
Doctrines
uttered
against
us
,
and
in
opposition
to
us
,
gathered
up
in
this
Volum
in
a
sum
,
with
our
Answers
to
them
;
and
if
thy
heart
and
mind
be
single
,
thou
mayst
hereby
understand
,
in
measure
,
the
difference
in
Doctrine
between
them
and
us
,
and
compare
each
of
them
with
the
Scriptures
,
and
see
whether
their
Doctrines
and
Principles
laid
down
as
the
Subject
of
their
Books
,
or
our
Doctrines
and
Principles
laid
down
in
answer
to
theirs
,
be
according
,
and
agree
with
the
Scriptures
;
and
if
thou
be
impartial
in
this
business
,
and
single
in
this
search
and
judgement
,
I
doubt
not
but
thou
wilt
in
a
great
measure
satisfie
thy self
,
and
be
resolved
concerning
their
Priests
,
and
Professors
of
England
,
and
us
who
are
called
Quakers
;
and
then
when
thou
thus
hast
done
,
own
and
deny
whether
them
or
us
,
as
the
Lord
shall
perswade
thee
;
for
thou
mayst
fully
perceive
we
differ
in
Doctrines
,
and
Principles
;
and
the
one
thou
must
justifie
,
and
the
other
thou
must
condemn
,
as
being
one
clean
contrary
to
the
other
in
our
Principles
:
and
I
wish
also
,
thou
wouldst
measure
us
,
and
compare
us
in
Lives
and
Conversations
,
and
truely
judge
whom
of
us
,
whether
they
,
or
we
do
the
more
follow
Christ
and
his
Apostles
in
Practise
and
Conversation
;
and
in
all
things
lay
us
and
them
to
the
Line
of
true
Judgement
,
and
with
an
upright
heart
,
judge
accordingly
;
for
know
this
,
there
is
not
any
Principle
we
hold
,
nor
any
Work
which
we
practice
in
our
Religion
and
Worship
,
but
we
are
willing
,
and
fully
desire
we
might
be
brought
to
the
Bar
of
true
Justice
together
,
and
in
every
Particular
of
Principles
and
Practices
examined
and
tryed
to
the
full
,
and
each
of
us
judged
in
Truth
and
Equity
,
whether
it
be
they
or
us
that
are
of
the
true
Religion
,
and
true
Faith
,
and
true
Worship
of
God
that
the
Apostles
were
in
,
and
which
of
us
it
is
that
are
in
a
wrong
Way
,
and
in
a
false
Religion
,
&
false
Faith
and
Worship
;
and
in
this
we
will
joyn
Issue
with
them
,
in
the
sight
of
the
whole
Nation
,
if
they
will
come
forth
to
tryal
;
if
what
already
is
brought
forth
by
them
against
us
,
and
by
us
against
them
,
for
this
seven
Years
in
Disputes
,
and
in
Printing
,
and
otherwise
,
be
not
sufficient
for
all
People
to
try
us
in
,
and
judge
us
by
,
whether
they
,
or
we
be
in
the
right
;
and
whether
in
the
wrong
.
And
now
to
all
People
in
the
Nation
,
I
do
appeal
to
that
of
God
in
all
their
Consciences
,
to
judge
between
the
Priests
and
Professors
,
and
all
the
Sects
,
and
us
;
ye
have
heard
their
Doctrines
,
and
ye
have
heard
something
of
ours
;
ye
have
seen
their
Conversation
,
and
ye
have
seen
something
of
ours
;
ye
have
heard
them
long
,
and
something
of
us
ye
have
heard
for
a
little
season
;
and
now
give
your
Evidence
:
is
it
not
with
them
as
we
have
said
?
are
not
your
Priests
in
the
Steps
of
the
false
Prophets
and
of
the
Deceivers
?
and
do
not
they
seek
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
as
they
did
that
Isaiah
cryed
against
?
do
not
they
preach
for
Hire
and
divine
for
Money
,
as
they
did
which
Micah
cryed
against
?
are
not
they
such
by
whom
you
have
not
been
profited
,
as
Ieremiah
cry'd
against
?
let
that
of
God
in
you
answer
to
these
things
:
And
are
they
not
Proud
Men
,
and
Covetous
Men
,
and
Envious
Men
,
and
Heady
High-minded
Men
,
and
given
to
filthy
Lucre
?
And
are
they
not
such
as
through
Covetousness
make
Merchandize
of
Souls
,
and
that
by
Good
Words
and
Fair
Speeches
deceive
the
Hearts
of
the
Simple
,
such
as
Paul
and
Peter
declare
against
?
And
are
they
not
such
as
the
true
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
his
Apostles
cry'd
against
?
And
do
they
not
bring
forth
the
same
Fruits
,
as
did
the
false
Prophets
and
false
Apostles
?
I
leave
it
to
your
Consciences
to
be
the
Judge
:
Compare
them
,
and
lay
them
to
the
Line
of
True
Judgment
,
if
you
shut
not
your
eyes
,
you
may
see
it
is
thus
;
and
have
we
charged
them
falsly
,
or
have
not
we
spoken
the
truth
concerning
them
?
we
have
said
they
are
false
Ministers
and
Deceivers
,
and
not
true
Ministers
of
Christ
;
and
is
it
not
so
?
let
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
answer
;
we
have
said
they
have
run
,
&
never
were
sent
,
and
that
they
have
not
profited
the
people
at
all
;
and
is
it
not
so
?
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
I
do
appeal
,
and
let
that
justifie
that
we
have
spoken
nothing
but
the
truth
;
examine
and
try
in
all
things
that
we
have
charged
them
with
:
And
are
they
not
guilty
in
all
things
that
we
have
charged
upon
them
?
let
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
testifie
to
this
:
And
what
do
you
judge
of
them
,
are
they
not
of
that
stock
which
Christ
said
should
come
,
and
should
be
Wolves
in
Sheep's
Cloathing
,
and
should
deceive
many
,
and
which
Iohn
saw
were
come
in
his
dayes
,
and
which
the
World
went
after
,
and
the
whole
World
run
after
them
;
are
not
they
in
the
nature
of
Wolves
,
devouring
and
tearing
the
Lambs
of
Christ
?
and
do
they
not
tear
People
by
causing
their
Bodies
to
be
imprisoned
,
and
their
Goods
to
be
spoiled
?
and
do
they
not
deceive
many
?
and
yet
they
have
the
Sheep's
Cloathing
,
the
Saints
words
,
and
their
practices
,
but
inwardly
are
they
not
ravening
?
and
doth
not
the
World
go
after
them
?
and
hath
not
the
World
run
after
them
for
many
Ages
?
and
is
it
not
thus
with
them
?
And
have
they
received
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
or
are
they
not
made
Ministers
by
the
will
of
man
,
and
not
by
the
will
of
God
?
do
they
not
differ
,
and
are
contrary
in
Call
,
in
Practice
,
in
Maintenance
,
and
in
Fruits
and
Effects
to
the
true
Ministers
and
true
Apostles
?
and
do
they
not
agree
,
and
are
they
not
according
to
the
false
Prophets
,
and
false
Ministers
,
and
Deceivers
in
their
Call
,
Practice
,
Maintenance
,
Fruits
and
Effects
?
search
the
Scriptures
,
and
lay
them
to
that
line
,
and
then
let
the
witness
in
your
Consciences
judge
and
answer
:
and
do
not
they
prepare
War
against
such
as
do
not
put
into
their
mouthes
?
and
do
not
they
feed
with
the
Fat
,
and
cloath
with
the
Wool
?
do
not
they
oppress
the
Nation
,
and
the
Creation
?
and
are
not
they
such
whose
Call
,
and
Practices
,
and
Maintenance
,
and
whole
Ministery
hath
a
dependance
upon
Popery
?
and
doth
it
not
all
savour
of
Popery
,
and
in
the
main
and
Principal
parts
thereof
,
were
ordained
by
the
Pope
?
this
may
be
fully
made
manifest
:
And
are
not
all
Professors
,
and
Sect
of
people
such
as
have
the
form
,
but
are
without
the
Power
of
Godliness
?
are
not
people
still
Covetous
,
and
Earthly-minded
,
and
given
to
the
World
,
and
proud
,
and
vain
,
even
such
as
profess
Religion
,
and
to
be
a
seperated
people
?
are
not
Professors
as
covetous
,
and
proud
,
as
such
as
do
not
profess
?
and
are
not
they
given
to
the
World
?
and
doth
it
not
shew
that
they
are
unchanged
,
nor
translated
,
but
death
Reigns
among
them
?
and
is
it
not
manifest
,
that
they
have
taken
up
the
form
of
the
Apostles
,
and
Christs
words
and
Practices
,
and
are
without
the
life
,
and
not
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
and
the
Apostles
in
their
Praying
and
Preaching
?
and
are
not
your
souls
lean
and
starved
?
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
all
I
speak
,
which
may
testifie
that
many
people
have
a
shew
of
Religion
without
Life
;
and
therefore
have
not
we
spoken
the
truth
of
them
,
in
what
we
have
said
?
in
the
Day
of
Judgment
you
shall
answer
this
.
And
as
concerning
the
Quakers
,
what
do
you
say
of
them
?
you
have
seen
their
Conversation
;
few
Towns
,
but
some
of
them
have
been
,
and
are
amongst
you
:
Do
not
they
fear
God
?
and
do
not
they
walk
justly
and
truly
among
their
Neighbours
,
and
speak
the
truth
,
and
do
the
Truth
in
all
things
;
doing
unto
all
no
otherwise
then
they
would
be
done
unto
?
and
are
they
not
Meek
,
and
Humble
,
and
Sober
?
and
do
not
they
take
much
Wrong
,
rather
then
give
Wrong
to
any
?
and
are
they
not
such
as
delight
in
the
Wayes
of
the
Lord
?
and
do
not
they
deny
the
World
,
and
its
Pleasures
,
and
forsake
all
Iniquity
more
then
your selves
?
and
do
not
they
take
up
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
to
all
its
wayes
and
earthly
glories
?
and
do
not
they
Preach
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
reach
to
your
Consciences
,
when
you
hear
them
?
and
doth
not
the
Light
in
you
answer
that
they
speak
the
Truth
?
and
is
not
their
Call
,
and
Practice
,
and
Maintenance
the
same
as
was
the
Apostles
and
faithful
Ministers
?
compare
them
with
the
Scripture
,
and
then
judge
in
your
Consciences
:
and
do
not
they
suffer
many
hard
and
cruel
things
,
even
all
manner
of
evil
spoken
and
done
against
them
falsly
for
the
Name
of
Christ
?
Are
you
ignorant
of
their
great
Sufferings
through
this
Nation
?
and
what
do
you
think
?
is
their
suffering
for
Evil-doing
,
or
is
it
not
for
Righteousness
sake
?
What
Harm
do
they
do
to
any
,
by
Work
or
Word
?
Why
are
they
reproached
,
and
mocked
,
and
scorned
?
and
why
are
they
put
in
Prisons
,
and
whipped
,
and
thus
sorely
abused
?
is
it
for
any
Evil-doing
,
or
is
it
not
because
they
are
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
?
Compare
their
Fruits
with
the
Priests
fruits
,
their
Conversation
with
the
Priests
conversation
,
&
see
whether
be
liker
the
Apostles
;
and
these
things
I
leave
to
you
that
you
may
come
to
consider
and
judge
justly
of
all
things
,
for
the
Lord
God
is
risen
;
and
his
Light
in
Peoples
Consciences
is
shining
forth
,
and
it
shall
answer
to
what
I
say
,
in
this
World
,
or
in
the
day
of
Judgment
,
when
we
,
and
all
Man-kind
shall
appear
and
come
sorth
to
tryal
,
and
every
mans
work
shall
be
tryed
,
and
all
shall
receive
according
to
their
deeds
.
And
so
gladly
would
we
be
made
manifest
to
all
the
World
;
if
that
after
the
reading
of
this
Book
any
be
unsatisfied
still
in
this
matter
,
And
if
any
,
especially
of
the
Heads
and
Rulers
have
doubts
or
Jealousies
raised
in
them
,
concerning
us
,
and
the
Priests
,
and
that
they
further
would
be
satisfied
and
resolved
;
for
that
end
let
any
Wise-men
propound
for
full
satisfaction
of
all
sorts
of
People
,
that
we
(
with
the
consent
of
the
chief
in
Authority
that
have
power
in
this
Nation
who
may
preserve
peace
and
safety
among
people
,
and
thereby
to
stop
all
Jealousies
)
may
freely
and
chearfully
,
Four
,
Ten
,
Twenty
,
Thirty
,
more
or
fewer
of
us
,
give
as
many
of
the
wisest
and
ablest
of
the
Priests
and
Professors
a
meeting
for
dispute
,
at
any
place
in
England
,
at
what
place
,
time
,
and
for
what
continuance
,
as
they
shall
ascribe
and
consent
unto
,
and
to
dispute
and
controvert
betwixt
us
and
them
,
any
such
thing
,
and
every
such
particular
,
as
shall
or
may
be
objected
by
any
of
the
Heads
and
Rulers
,
or
other
Grave
Understanding
Men
,
wherein
they
are
doubtful
betwixt
us
,
and
would
thereof
be
satisfied
,
that
by
such
Dispute
and
opening
of
such
causes
,
objected
,
full
,
and
real
,
and
toal
,
satisfaction
may
be
given
to
the
whole
Nation
,
and
every
particular
man
and
member
therein
.
Otherwise
,
Let
the
Priests
or
Professors
,
or
any
of
them
,
object
what
they
can
against
us
,
in
our
Principles
,
Profession
,
Faith
,
and
Practice
,
and
our
whole
Religion
;
And
if
they
shall
affirm
and
alledge
any
one
or
more
things
against
us
,
that
any
Principle
we
hold
,
or
Practice
we
profess
in
any
part
throughout
all
our
Religion
,
are
false
Principles
,
and
false
Practices
,
and
not
according
to
Truth
,
nor
the
Scriptures
,
but
shall
affirm
that
our
Religion
is
not
the
true
Religion
,
nor
we
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
and
they
shall
have
free
liberty
,
to
give
their
best
proof
and
reason
for
what
they
affirm
,
and
alledge
;
yet
by
the
Strength
of
Christ
,
and
in
the
power
and
authority
of
God
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
we
shall
confute
all
their
Proofs
and
strongest
Reasons
;
and
on
the
contrary
we
shall
joyn
our
Principles
,
Doctrines
,
and
Practices
,
and
all
our
Religion
,
and
every
part
and
particular
thereof
,
to
be
the
very
truth
,
and
agreeing
with
the
Scriptures
,
&
according
to
that
shall
maintain
by
lawful
Arguments
,
and
plea
,
that
our
Religion
and
Worship
,
and
all
that
we
profess
and
Practice
is
according
to
the
mind
of
the
Lord
,
and
justified
of
him
,
and
that
whatsoever
is
and
may
be
spoken
against
us
,
upon
that
account
,
is
utterly
false
,
and
to
be
condemned
,
and
upon
this
we
will
ingage
with
them
,
and
with
any
of
our
Enemes
,
of
what
Sect
and
Profession
soever
,
to
the
intent
onely
that
Truth
may
be
manifest
and
embraced
,
and
Deceit
and
Error
discovered
and
denied
.
And
also
,
upon
such
an
Engagement
we
should
agree
to
have
the
liberty
,
freely
,
and
soberly
to
object
against
the
Priests
,
concerning
their
Ministry
,
their
Call
,
their
Practice
,
their
Maintenance
,
and
their
Fruits
and
Effects
,
and
concerning
their
Church
,
and
Principles
,
and
Worship
,
and
whole
Religion
,
and
shall
hear
patiently
all
that
can
be
said
in
defence
thereof
by
any
or
all
of
them
,
and
shall
prove
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
that
their
ministry
is
not
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
,
nor
they
true
and
lawfull
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
but
shall
manifest
by
evident
Arguments
,
that
their
Call
,
Practice
,
Maintenance
,
Fruits
and
Effects
,
are
not
according
,
nor
agreeing
,
but
contrary
and
differing
,
to
what
the
true
Ministry
was
,
and
its
Call
,
Practice
,
Maintenance
,
Fruits
and
Effects
were
in
the
true
Apostles
,
and
among
the
true
Churches
;
and
furthermore
by
the
Grace
of
God
we
shall
prove
their
Church
,
their
Worship
,
and
their
whole
Religion
,
in
all
parts
thereof
,
to
be
degenerated
from
what
the
true
Church
was
,
&
the
true
Worship
,
and
true
Religion
,
in
the
days
of
the
Apostles
,
and
true
Churches
of
old
;
and
these
things
shall
we
make
manifest
by
faithful
and
sound
Arguments
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
that
all
the
Earth
may
know
,
and
all
people
perceive
who
is
in
the
Truth
,
and
of
the
true
Worship
and
Religion
,
and
who
are
in
the
contrary
;
and
whether
the
Priests
,
and
that
which
they
profess
and
practice
for
Religion
;
or
the
Quakers
,
and
that
which
they
profess
and
practice
for
Religion
;
be
of
God
,
and
according
to
him
,
and
whether
are
contrary
;
that
the
end
of
this
long
Travel
,
and
War
,
and
controversie
may
be
desided
and
justly
ended
between
,
us
,
and
all
people
may
be
resolved
,
and
satisfied
concerning
us
,
and
them
that
do
oppose
us
.
And
let
all
the
Priests
and
Professors
lay
aside
and
give
over
their
Houses
of
Correction
,
and
imprisoning
people
,
and
whipping
of
them
,
and
stocking
of
us
,
and
dealing
in
this
manner
of
violence
and
cruelty
,
as
for
years
by-past
they
have
done
in
defence
of
their
Religion
,
and
resisting
of
ours
;
and
let
them
lay
aside
their
carnal
Weapons
,
and
fighting
against
our
persons
,
and
imprisoning
of
us
about
our
Religion
;
and
let
them
come
forth
in
sound
Arguments
,
the
best
they
have
,
and
let
us
see
what
spiritual
Weapons
they
have
to
resist
us
,
and
defend
themselves
;
and
let
us
try
,
whether
their
spiritual
Weapons
or
ours
be
the
strongest
,
and
the
most
powerful
,
and
mighty
;
and
let
theirs
that
are
so
,
prevail
against
the
other
,
be
it
ours
,
or
theirs
;
and
this
is
the
way
to
try
the
truth
,
and
to
make
all
things
manifest
,
and
to
deside
and
end
all
the
whole
controversies
between
us
and
them
,
which
hath
been
great
this
many
years
;
and
let
the
Truth
be
set
up
and
exalted
,
where
ever
it
is
,
and
all
Deceit
thrown
down
to
the
Ground
;
and
let
us
war
with
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
,
against
Errour
and
false
Religion
,
one
in
the
other
;
but
le
ts
not
hurt
Creatures
,
nor
imprison
Persons
,
nor
stock
and
whip
Creatures
,
and
make
them
to
suffer
;
but
let
us
thresh
Deceit
,
and
whip
and
beat
that
,
and
all
false
Opinions
;
let
us
throw
them
down
,
where
they
are
found
,
whether
in
them
or
in
us
;
and
let
us
fight
with
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
,
that
are
spiritual
;
&
let
them
fight
no
longer
with
such
cruel
carnal
Weapons
;
and
then
let
such
as
get
the
victory
,
and
overcome
,
appear
to
be
in
the
truth
of
the
Church
;
and
such
as
falls
,
and
is
overcome
,
be
manifest
to
be
in
the
Error
,
and
of
the
false
Church
and
Religion
;
and
let
us
love
one
anothers
persons
,
and
let
them
act
no
otherwise
towards
our
persons
,
then
we
do
upon
theirs
,
and
towards
them
;
and
let
them
take
the
liberty
to
deal
with
us
,
and
our
persons
,
as
we
deal
with
them
,
and
their
persons
,
and
no
otherwise
.
And
let
such
,
whether
them
or
us
,
that
cannot
prove
our selves
to
be
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
nor
of
the
true
Worship
,
and
true
Religion
,
nor
in
the
truth
,
but
is
found
to
be
in
the
Error
,
and
out
of
the
Truth
;
let
such
deny
their
Worship
and
Church
,
and
renounce
all
their
Religion
,
and
confess
to
all
the
World
,
under
their
hands
,
that
they
are
,
and
have
been
deceived
,
and
for
ever
hereafter
stop
their
Mouthes
,
and
never
profess
nor
practice
any
more
what
they
have
done
in
such
Religion
;
And
freely
upon
these
Issues
and
Conditions
we
will
joyn
trial
with
them
;
let
them
appoint
time
,
place
,
and
profer
terms
at
their
own
pleasure
,
and
then
to
all
the
World
it
shall
be
manifest
,
and
to
all
people
discovered
,
whether
we
have
not
good
ground
,
and
sufficient
reason
to
war
against
these
Priests
;
and
it
may
perfectly
appear
that
what
we
have
said
and
written
against
them
these
divers
years
,
have
been
upon
a
good
foundation
,
and
we
have
had
sufficient
cause
to
speak
and
write
against
them
,
as
we
have
done
;
and
none
thenceforth
shall
have
cause
to
say
,
or
doubt
,
that
what
we
have
spoken
and
written
against
them
hath
been
out
of
malice
or
envy
,
and
without
cause
and
good
reason
;
but
on
the
contrary
all
shall
know
the
Ground
of
Quarrel
is
sufficient
and
full
of
equity
on
our
part
.
And
upon
these
or
any
equal
tearms
and
conditions
,
would
we
,
and
are
we
willing
to
engage
with
these
Priests
,
and
all
,
or
any
one
of
these
Sects
,
in
a
lawful
Tryal
,
in
Disputes
,
or
Writings
,
for
the
Tryal
and
searching
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
the
true
Religion
;
And
were
it
not
equal
and
reasonable
,
that
we
had
the
same
liberty
among
all
these
Priests
,
and
in
their
Church
and
Assemblies
freely
to
declare
our
minds
,
and
to
let
forth
our selves
in
what
we
hold
and
profess
,
without
being
violently
haled
,
and
beat
,
and
whipped
,
and
sent
to
Prison
,
as
we
have
been
this
many
years
?
which
liberty
we
do
freely
grant
and
allow
among
us
to
all
,
to
query
,
or
declare
what
is
upon
them
,
without
such
violent
dealing
,
or
whipping
,
or
sending
them
to
Prisons
,
and
Houses
of
Correction
;
and
the
same
,
and
no
other
do
we
desire
of
others
in
this
particular
of
freedom
to
declare
the
Truth
,
and
what
we
hold
,
then
what
we
do
and
would
allow
to
others
;
and
that
no
Weapon
be
used
by
them
against
us
,
nor
dealing
towards
us
,
but
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
,
the
best
they
have
,
or
can
bring
forth
against
us
;
and
let
them
let
Creatures
alone
,
and
not
hurt
,
nor
do
violence
to
them
,
and
no
other
Weapons
shall
we
use
against
them
,
nor
deal
with
them
by
any
other
thing
,
but
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
of
God
which
are
powerful
,
&
will
bring
down
strong
Holds
;
and
as
for
Creatures
,
we
shall
not
hurt
,
nor
do
violence
,
nor
imprison
them
;
and
whose
Weapons
are
the
strongest
,
let
such
overcome
.
And
such
as
are
overcome
,
is
not
the
true
Church
;
for
the
true
Church
of
Christ
which
is
builded
upon
the
Rock
,
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
;
and
who
do
overcome
,
with
such
let
it
be
manifest
,
that
God
of
a
truth
is
with
them
;
and
let
them
all
cease
to
defend
their
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Religion
with
Prisons
,
and
Whips
,
and
Houses
of
Correction
;
for
by
such
things
was
never
the
true
Church
,
Ministry
,
and
Religion
defended
;
but
only
the
Power
and
Authority
of
God
preserved
them
,
and
resisted
all
their
Enemies
;
and
so
it
is
at
this
day
:
and
let
all
cease
to
cry
Deceivers
,
and
being
afraid
to
be
deceived
;
for
if
they
be
the
true
Church
,
all
,
or
any
of
these
Sects
and
Professions
of
Religions
;
then
if
we
be
Deceivers
,
and
come
among
them
,
they
cannot
be
deceived
,
if
they
be
in
the
Election
;
for
no
Deceivers
,
nor
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
nor
against
them
that
are
elect
,
which
the
Devil
hath
nothing
in
:
And
if
we
be
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
&
in
the
Election
;
then
if
all
the
Deceivers
upon
Earth
come
among
us
,
they
cannot
prevail
against
us
,
nor
deceive
us
;
for
the
Elect
cannot
be
deceived
;
and
upon
these
terms
we
may
engage
with
any
people
and
Sect
upon
Earth
:
Therefore
come
to
this
,
and
joyn
with
us
;
take
you
the
Liberty
to
declare
in
soberness
what
you
own
and
profess
,
&
you
shall
not
be
persecuted
,
nor
your
Bodies
,
nor
Persons
harmed
by
violence
;
and
let
us
have
that
liberty
to
declare
in
Meekness
and
Soberness
,
and
in
Gods
Authority
amongst
you
what
we
hold
and
profess
,
and
let
us
not
be
persecuted
,
and
dealt
violently
withal
;
and
then
let
it
appear
whether
we
or
our
Enemies
have
a
greater
Testimony
,
and
more
powerfull
in
the
hearts
of
people
.
And
were
not
this
a
way
full
of
equity
,
for
the
trial
of
all
things
?
but
doing
contrary
,
as
you
have
done
these
many
years
against
us
,
by
Violence
,
and
Whipping
,
and
Persecuting
,
it
shews
you
have
not
the
spiritual
Weapons
,
nor
the
Authority
of
God
with
you
,
nor
among
you
;
and
that
is
the
cause
of
running
to
Magistrates
,
and
putting
in
Goals
,
and
Whippings
,
and
all
Violence
,
because
the
Authority
of
God's
Spirit
is
wanting
amongst
you
,
which
all
the
false
Sects
,
and
false
Churches
,
since
the
days
of
the
Apostles
,
have
wanted
to
defend
themselves
,
and
resist
their
Enemies
;
and
so
all
Sects
have
been
fighting
one
with
another
,
and
killing
Persons
and
Creatures
,
and
desending
themselves
by
Prisons
,
and
Inquisitions
,
and
destroying
of
lives
;
and
all
this
hath
been
out
of
the
Power
of
God
,
and
not
in
it
,
but
by
the
power
of
the
Dragon
,
and
of
the
Beast
,
who
hath
caused
all
to
worship
,
and
them
that
would
not
,
he
hath
power
to
kill
,
and
hath
killed
them
,
by
Fires
,
and
Tortures
,
and
cruel
Deaths
,
and
all
these
have
lost
the
spiritual
Weapons
,
and
been
without
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
;
And
what
a
Church
is
this
of
yours
,
which
hath
been
to
be
defended
by
Goals
,
and
Prisons
,
and
Whips
and
Stocks
,
and
violent
Dealing
?
this
Church
is
not
the
Church
of
Christ
,
for
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
defends
her
always
,
and
not
Inquisitions
,
and
Prisons
and
Whips
;
these
are
Cains
Weapons
,
and
not
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
whereby
his
true
Church
was
ever
defended
;
for
because
Cains
sacrifice
was
not
accepted
,
therefore
he
slew
his
Brother
,
and
persecuted
him
;
and
thus
you
that
are
of
Cains
seed
do
the
same
,
upon
the
same
Ground
,
because
your
works
are
rejected
and
theirs
accepted
,
with
whom
you
deal
thus
in
this
violent
way
of
persecution
and
wickedness
.
And
this
is
the
Protestant
Church
(
so
called
)
and
her
Ministers
,
with
whom
I
am
now
Dealing
,
which
seems
to
be
the
true
Church
,
and
more
then
the
Church
of
Rome
;
for
you
Protestant
Ministers
do
deny
and
cry
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
a
false
Church
,
and
her
Ministers
to
be
Deceivers
(
which
in
it selfe
is
very
true
)
But
yet
your
hypocrisie
in
this
doth
appear
,
and
your
double-mindedness
;
for
let
me
tell
you
,
while
you
cry
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
a
false
Idolater
,
and
a
Persecutor
of
the
true
Church
,
and
against
her
Ministers
to
be
Deceivers
,
and
contrary
to
the
Apostles
;
are
not
your
spirits
the
same
,
and
your
works
the
same
in
nature
(
though
not
in
measure
)
and
in
particular
,
this
work
of
yours
to
imprison
people
,
and
whip
them
,
and
put
them
in
the
Stocks
,
and
beat
them
,
and
abuse
their
Persons
and
Bodies
,
who
do
but
speak
against
you
and
your
Religion
?
is
not
this
work
of
the
very
same
nature
as
the
work
of
the
Romish
Church
?
she
to
defend
her
Church
hath
Inquisitions
,
and
Banishment
,
and
many
cruel
Tortures
,
and
with
these
things
her
Church
she
defends
,
killing
and
afflicting
of
Peoples
Bodies
,
that
do
oppose
her
Church
and
deny
their
Religion
,
and
you
have
Stocks
,
and
Whips
,
and
Houses
of
Correction
,
and
putting
great
Fines
and
Taskes
upon
People
,
and
Banishing
People
out
of
Townes
,
and
spoiling
their
Goods
and
casting
men
into
Prison
,
who
do
oppose
your
Church
,
and
deny
your
Religion
,
and
is
not
this
equal
and
justly
according
(
in
Nature
)
to
the
Persecution
that
is
in
the
Romish
Church
?
and
what
difference
between
the
defence
of
the
Church
of
Rome
and
your
Church
of
Protestants
?
they
have
their
Inquisitions
,
and
you
have
your
Houses
of
Correction
;
they
have
their
Slavery
in
the
Gallies
,
and
you
have
Whips
,
and
Stocks
;
they
have
their
divers
Torments
,
and
cruel
Dealings
towards
Persons
that
oppose
them
,
and
upon
their
Bodies
in
one
manner
,
and
you
have
your
Torments
and
cruel
Dealing
towards
us
in
another
manner
,
though
not
in
the
same
measure
,
yet
in
the
same
nature
;
and
what
difference
between
you
and
them
?
And
herein
doth
the
Hypocrisie
of
the
Protestant
Church
and
their
Ministers
appear
,
in
that
they
cry
against
;
and
deny
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
their
Persecution
,
and
Cruelty
acted
against
others
,
and
yet
in
nature
and
manner
do
Practice
the
very
same
upon
us
,
as
in
England
this
day
is
witnessed
;
And
not
onely
in
this
particular
may
the
Church
,
and
Ministers
of
the
Protestants
be
condemned
for
Hypocrisie
,
but
also
in
many
other
things
,
even
the
most
of
their
Practices
in
their
Worship
is
of
the
same
nature
,
and
by
the
same
spirit
,
which
the
Practices
of
the
Church
of
Rome
is
practised
by
and
in
;
and
not
onely
so
,
but
it
may
be
truely
proved
,
and
made
manifest
,
that
the
original
and
institution
of
many
of
your
Church-Practices
proceeded
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
the
Church
and
Pope
of
Rome
did
ordain
and
institute
many
of
your
Practices
,
and
a
great
part
of
your
worship
,
which
is
performed
in
the
Church
,
and
by
the
Ministry
of
the
Protestants
(
so
called
)
and
this
in
its
time
and
season
I
may
make
fully
appear
,
and
discover
to
the
Nations
,
and
I
may
shew
in
the
particulars
,
what
particulars
of
the
worship
and
practice
in
the
Protestants
Church
had
their
first
rice
and
beginning
and
original
in
the
Church
of
Rome
,
though
they
are
minced
and
degressed
with
diminishings
and
addings
,
according
as
their
imaginations
have
guided
them
,
yet
still
they
retain
the
strongest
taste
and
Savour
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
had
their
rice
and
original
there
,
though
in
the
performing
thereof
,
they
may
be
altered
and
changed
in
appearance
and
from
,
but
are
perfectly
the
same
in
Ground
and
Nature
,
as
springing
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
she
the
Mother
of
the
Protestant
Church
,
and
of
the
Practices
of
the
most
of
her
performances
in
worship
,
and
this
may
be
proved
,
as
God
willing
upon
oecasion
,
as
the
Lord
moves
,
I
may
let
sorth
my
mind
,
and
what
I
know
in
these
things
,
and
may
shew
,
though
that
the
Church
of
the
Protestants
have
disserted
the
Church
of
Rome
;
yet
their
Ministry
,
its
Call
,
and
Ordination
,
and
its
Practice
,
and
Maintenance
,
hath
a
dependancy
upon
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
being
the
Original
of
that
which
is
by
them
therein
practised
,
though
in
some
things
deviated
from
the
perfect
Form
and
Practice
thereof
;
and
also
the
whole
Worship
of
all
the
Particulars
in
relation
to
the
Protestant
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Worship
,
hath
a
dependance
upon
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
being
the
first
Original
thereof
,
and
though
they
cry
against
her
and
her
Ministers
,
and
have
denied
her
,
yet
is
she
the
Mother
and
Womb
in
which
was
bred
,
and
out
of
whom
proceeded
the
Protestant
Church
,
Ministry
,
and
Worship
,
and
Practices
,
and
this
may
be
manifest
at
full
that
the
Protestant
Church
,
Ministry
,
and
Worship
,
chiefly
tasteth
and
savoureth
of
the
Church
and
Worship
of
Rome
,
and
had
their
original
out
of
her
:
And
also
further
may
be
shewed
,
that
the
Protestant
Church
,
and
Worships
,
and
Ministry
are
not
another
in
nature
and
being
,
then
the
Romish
Church
,
Ministry
,
&
Worship
;
but
is
sprung
out
thereof
,
as
a
Branch
out
of
the
same
Root
,
the
Ground
being
one
and
the
same
,
though
differing
in
appearance
;
for
in
her
beginning
and
first
dissenting
from
the
Romish
Church
,
she
did
not
deny
her
in
ground
and
being
,
as
not
being
at
all
the
Church
of
Christ
;
but
only
in
some
particulars
dissented
alwayes
then
,
and
to
this
day
retaining
divers
of
their
practices
in
Worship
and
Church-Government
,
which
doth
shew
,
that
the
Protestant
Church
is
not
perfectly
another
,
nor
her
Ministry
,
and
Government
,
and
Worship
another
then
is
the
Romish
Church
;
but
is
the
same
in
ground
and
being
,
onely
digressed
and
deviated
in
particulars
;
and
this
may
be
fully
manifest
in
season
,
that
the
Protestant
Church
,
and
Worship
,
and
Ministry
,
is
of
the
Romish
Church
sprung
as
a
branch
out
of
her
,
not
contrary
to
her
,
and
against
her
;
and
all
these
things
is
the
Lord
discovering
and
laying
open
,
that
Nations
and
Peoples
may
come
to
behold
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
that
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
and
all
her
Children
,
and
may
see
the
state
and
turning
of
times
,
and
things
,
ever
since
the
days
of
the
Apostles
,
and
true
Churches
;
and
how
that
all
these
divers
Sects
,
and
all
these
Churches
,
falsely
so
called
,
are
risen
up
and
sprung
out
one
of
another
,
and
coming
from
one
Seed
and
Womb
;
and
though
divers
in
Appearances
,
and
sundry
in
Practices
,
and
Professions
,
yet
are
they
all
one
in
the
Ground
and
Nature
,
sprung
from
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
all
of
them
,
and
being
her
Children
;
and
she
hath
corrupted
the
Earth
with
her
Fornications
and
Whoredoms
,
and
made
Nations
and
Kingdoms
drunk
with
her
Cup
of
Idolatry
:
but
the
Lord
God
is
risen
and
will
plead
with
her
,
and
give
her
double
,
and
the
holy
Prophets
and
Apostles
shall
rejoyce
over
her
;
and
this
is
coming
to
pass
;
and
this
have
I
seen
from
the
Lord
,
and
received
it
from
him
;
and
thus
it
come
upon
me
to
write
.
THE
Waters
I
have
seen
dry'd
up
,
the
Seat
of
the
great
Where
,
Who
with
the
Fornication
Cup
of
her
enticing
power
Hath
made
all
Nations
drunk
thereby
,
and
the
whole
Earth
defil'd
With
her
gilt
Cup
of
Sorcery
,
whom
she
hath
long
beguil'd
.
But
Peoples
many
are
,
and
shall
,
and
Multitudes
all
may
;
And
Nations
be
Converted
all
unto
another
Way
:
And
Tongues
they
now
confounded
bee
,
and
Kindreds
they
must
mourn
;
And
when
thou
this
shalt
finish'd
see
,
then
say
her
Seat
is
torn
.
For
these
are
all
the
Waters
great
,
on
whom
her
Seat
hath
been
,
And
over
whom
her
rule
was
great
,
like
as
a
stately
Queen
.
For
Ages
by-past
(
its
now
seen
)
She
hath
her
Whoredoms
plaid
;
And
Kingdoms
have
bewitched
been
,
And
have
her
power
obey'd
.
But
now
it
s
seen
,
she
shan't
deceive
;
Her
Witchcrafts
they
are
known
;
And
men
no
more
will
her
believe
;
her
Misery
is
shown
.
And
now
the
wofull
Bed
I
see
,
of
Torments
great
prepar'd
,
Whereon
she
shortly
cast
must
be
;
and
Plagues
must
not
be
spar'd
.
But
wo
to
her
the
wrathfull
Cup
(
is
fill'd
)
she
others
gave
;
She
must
it
now
her self
drink
up
,
the
same
she
now
must
have
.
And
drink
she
must
and
that
full
deep
,
of
God's
fierce
Indignation
.
And
then
shall
all
her
Lovers
Weep
,
and
make
great
Lamentation
.
The
City
also
I
have
seen
,
which
once
was
great
and
fair
,
Destroy'd
,
and
soon
laid
waste
hath
been
;
her
Merchants
did
dispair
,
Who
by
her
got
great
gain
and
trade
,
to
make
them
rich
withall
;
And
trafficks
from
far
she
had
;
but
now
lament
they
shall
.
For
Fire
in
her
is
kindled
bright
,
which
must
her
all
consume
;
And
up
to
Heaven
day
and
night
,
ascendeth
up
her
fume
.
And
Antichrist
(
who
ravened
from
Truth
within
,
the
Light
)
Was
with
Sheeps
Clothing
covered
,
and
rul'd
Kings
by
his
might
:
Who
had
laid
waste
God's
Heritage
,
and
had
a
Kingdom
great
;
The
Saints
against
him
war
did
wage
,
and
Truth
gave
him
defeat
.
Behold
the
Whore's
Flesh
burnt
I've
seen
;
her
beauty
doth
now
fall
.
All
Harlots
Mother
she
hath
been
;
her
Daughters
are
Whores
all
.
Behold
,
the
City
great
and
fair
,
she
's
fallen
to
the
ground
;
By
which
Nations
inriched
were
;
in
her
no
profits
found
.
Behold
the
Antichrist
,
once
great
,
his
Kingdom
's
near
laid
waste
:
The
Lord
will
bring
him
from
his
Seat
;
the
day
comes
on
in
haste
.
Christ's
Kingdom
's
coming
on
with
speed
;
the
Lord
alone
will
reign
:
He
will
for
aye
exalt
his
Seed
o'er
Antichrist
and
's
Train
.
The
Woman
I
have
seen
return
,
the
Wilderness
did
take
;
A
place
where
she
did
greatly
mourn
;
and
rest
she
there
did
take
.
The
springing
of
her
Seed
I
've
seen
;
the
Man
child
now
must
sway
:
(
By'm
Nations
have
replenisht
been
)
for
evermore
I
say
.
Then
Praises
to
the
Heavenly
King
,
when
come
to
pass
this
shall
.
Oh
then
do
ye
rejoyce
and
sing
,
ye
Saints
and
Prophets
all
:
When
God
shall
pour
his
Vengeance
great
,
to
cause
our
Enemies
Fall
:
Then
is
the
Day
of
Praises
meet
for
Saints
both
great
and
small
.

FRANCIS
HOWGIL's
TESTIMONY
Concerning
the
Life
,
Death
,
Tryals
,
Travels
and
Labours
of
Edward
Burrough
,
That
Worthy
Prophet
of
the
LORD
.
SHall
dayes
,
or
months
,
or
years
wear
out
thy
Name
,
as
though
thou
hadst
had
no
being
?
Oh
nay
!
Shall
not
thy
noble
and
valiant
Acts
,
and
mighty
Works
which
thou
hast
wrought
through
the
power
of
him
that
separated
thee
from
the
Womb
,
live
in
Generations
to
come
?
Oh
yes
!
the
children
that
are
yet
unborn
,
shall
have
thee
in
their
Mouths
,
and
thy
Works
shall
testifie
of
thee
in
Generations
,
who
yet
have
not
a
being
,
and
shall
count
thee
blessed
.
Did
thy
Life
go
out
as
the
snuff
of
a
Candle
?
Oh
nay
!
thou
hast
penetrated
the
hearts
of
many
,
and
the
memorial
of
the
just
shall
live
for
ever
,
and
be
had
in
renown
among
the
Children
of
Wisdom
for
ever
;
for
thou
hast
turned
many
to
righteousness
,
and
shall
shine
as
a
Star
of
God
in
the
Firmament
of
God's
Power
,
for
ever
and
ever
;
and
they
that
are
in
that
,
shall
see
thee
there
,
and
enjoy
thee
there
,
though
thou
be
gone
away
hence
,
and
can
no
more
be
seen
in
mutability
;
yet
thy
Life
,
and
thy
Spirit
shall
run
parallel
with
Immortality
.
Oh
,
Edward
Burrough
!
I
cannot
but
mourn
for
thee
,
yet
not
as
one
without
hope
nor
Faith
,
knowing
and
having
a
perfect
testimony
of
thy
well-being
in
my
heart
,
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
yet
thy
absence
is
great
,
and
years
to
come
shall
know
the
want
of
thee
,
Shall
I
not
lament
as
David
did
for
a
worse
man
then
thee
,
even
for
Abner
,
when
in
wrath
he
perished
by
the
hand
of
Ioab
,
without
any
just
cause
,
though
he
was
a
valiant
man
?
David
lamented
over
Abner
,
and
said
,
Dyed
Abner
as
a
fool
dyeth
?
(
Oh
nay
!
he
was
betrayed
of
his
Life
)
even
so
hast
thou
been
bereaved
of
thy
life
by
the
hand
of
the
Oppressor
,
whose
Habitations
,
are
full
of
cruelty
.
Oh
my
soul
,
come
not
thou
within
their
secret
,
for
thy
blood
shall
be
required
at
the
hands
of
them
who
thirsted
after
thy
life
;
and
it
shall
cry
as
Abels
,
who
was
in
the
Faith
;
even
so
wert
thou
,
it
shall
weigh
as
a
ponderous
Milstone
upon
their
Necks
,
and
shall
crush
them
under
,
and
be
as
a
Worm
that
gnaweth
,
and
shall
not
dye
:
When
I
think
upon
thee
,
I
am
melted
into
tears
of
true
sorrow
;
and
because
of
the
want
that
the
Inheritance
of
the
Lord
hath
of
thee
,
my
substance
is
even
as
dissolved
:
Shall
I
not
say
as
David
said
of
Saul
and
Ionathan
,
when
they
were
slain
in
Mount
Gilboa
,
The
beauty
of
Israel
is
slain
upon
the
high
places
:
Even
so
wast
thou
stified
;
in
nasty
Holes
,
and
Prisons
,
and
many
more
,
who
were
precious
in
the
Eyes
of
the
Lord
:
And
surely
precious
wast
thou
to
me
,
Oh
dear
Edward
,
I
am
distressed
for
thee
my
brother
;
very
pleasant
hast
thou
been
to
me
,
and
my
love
to
thee
was
wonderful
,
passing
the
love
of
Women
,
Oh
thou
whose
Bow
never
turned
back
,
neither
Sword
empty
from
the
Blood
of
the
Slain
,
from
the
slaughter
of
the
Mighty
;
who
made
Nations
and
Multitudes
shake
with
the
Word
of
Life
in
thy
Mouth
,
and
wast
very
dreadful
to
the
Enemies
of
the
Lord
;
for
thou
didst
cut
like
a
Rasor
,
and
yet
to
the
Seed
of
God
brought
forth
;
thy
words
dropped
like
Oyle
,
and
thy
.
Lips
as
the
Honey-comb
.
Thou
shalt
be
recorded
among
the
Valiants
of
Israel
,
who
attained
to
the
first
Degree
through
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
that
wrought
mightily
in
thee
in
thy
day
,
and
wast
worthy
of
double
honor
,
because
of
thy
Works
sake
;
thou
wast
expert
to
handle
thy
Weapon
,
and
by
thee
the
Mighty
have
fallen
,
and
the
Slain
of
the
Lord
have
been
many
;
many
have
been
pricked
to
the
heart
through
the.
Power
of
the
Word
of
Life
;
and
Coals
of
fire
from
thy
Life
came
forth
of
thy
Mouth
,
that
in
many
a
Thicket
,
and
among
many
Bryars
and
Thorns
it
came
to
be
kindled
,
and
did
devour
much
Stubble
that
cumbered
the
Ground
,
and
stained
the
Earth
.
Oh
how
certain
a
sound
did
thy
Trumpet
give
!
And
how
great
an
Alarum
didst
thou
give
in
thy
day
,
that
made
the
Host
of
the
Uncircumcised
greatly
distressed
!
What
man
so
valiant
,
though
as
Goliah
of
Gath
,
would
not
thy
Valour
have
encountered
with
,
while
many
despised
thy
youth
!
And
how
have
I
seen
thee
with
thy
Sling
and
thy
Stone
(
despised
Weapons
as
to
war
with
)
wound
the
Mighty
!
and
that
which
hath
seemed
contemptible
to
the
Dragon's
Party
,
even
as
the
Jaw-bone
of
an
Ass
;
with
it
thou
hast
slain
the
Philistines
Heaps
upon
Heaps
,
as
Sampson
.
Thou
hast
put
thy
Hand
to
the
Hammer
of
the
Lord
,
and
hast
often
fastened
Nailes
in
the
heads
of
the
Lamb's
Enemies
,
as
Deborah
did
to
Sisera
;
and
many
a
rough
Stone
hast
thou
polished
and
squared
,
and
made
it
fit
for
the
Building
of
God
;
and
much
knotty
Wood
hast
thou
hewed
in
thy
day
,
which
was
not
fit
for
the
building
of
God's
House
,
Oh
thou
Prophet
of
the
Lord
;
and
shalt
for
ever
be
recorded
in
the
Lamb's
Book
of
Life
,
among
the
Lord's
Worthies
,
who
have
followed
the
Lamb
through
great
Tribulations
,
as
many
can
witness
for
thee
from
the
beginning
,
and
at
last
hath
overcome
,
and
found
worthy
to
stand
with
the
Lamb
upon
Mount
Sion
,
the
Hill
of
God
,
as
I
have
often
seen
thee
,
and
thy
heart
well
tuned
as
a
Harp
,
to
praise
the
Lord
,
and
to
sound
forth
his
great
Salvation
,
which
many
a
time
hath
made
glad
the
hearts
of
them
that
did
believe
,
and
strengthened
their
Faith
and
Hope
.
Well
,
thou
art
at
rest
,
and
bound
up
in
the
Bundle
of
Life
;
and
I
know
Tears
were
wiped
away
from
thy
Eyes
,
because
there
was
no
cause
of
sorrow
in
thee
;
For
I
know
thou
witnessed
the
old
things
done
away
,
and
there
was
no
curse
,
but
blessings
were
poured
upon
thy
head
as
rain
,
and
peace
as
a
mighty
shower
,
and
trouble
was
far
from
thy
dwelling
,
though
in
the
outward
man
trouble
on
every
side
,
and
hath
had
a
Greater
share
in
that
,
for
the
Gospel
sake
(
though
a
Youth
in
thy
time
)
than
many
besides
:
But
now
thou
are
freed
from
that
,
and
hast
obtained
a
name
through
Faith
,
with
the
Saints
in
Light
.
Well
,
hadst
thou
more
to
give
up
then
thy
Life
for
the
Name
of
Jesus
in
this
World
?
Nay
;
and
to
seal
thy
Testimony
committed
unto
thee
with
thy
blood
,
as
thou
hast
often
said
in
thy
day
,
which
shall
remain
as
a
Crown
upon
thee
for
ever
and
ever
.
And
now
thou
art
freed
from
the
temptations
of
him
who
had
the
power
of
death
,
and
art
freed
from
thy
outward
Enemies
,
who
hated
thee
because
of
the
Life
that
dwelt
in
thee
,
and
remaineth
at
the
right
Hand
of
God
,
where
there
is
joy
and
pleasure
for
evermore
in
the
everlasting
Light
,
which
thou
hast
often
testified
unto
,
according
to
the
Word
of
Prophesie
in
thy
heart
,
which
was
given
unto
thee
by
the
Holy
Ghost
;
and
art
at
rest
in
the
perfection
thereof
,
in
the
beauty
of
Holiness
;
yet
thy
Life
and
thy
Spirit
I
feel
as
present
,
and
have
unity
with
it
,
and
in
it
,
beyond
all
created
and
visible
things
,
which
are
subject
to
mutation
and
change
;
and
thy
Life
shall
enter
into
others
,
to
testifie
unto
the
same
truth
,
which
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
;
for
God
hath
raised
,
and
will
raise
up
children
unto
Abraham
,
of
them
that
have
been
as
dead
stones
,
whose
Power
is
Almighty
,
great
in
his
people
in
the
midst
of
their
Enemies
.
This
same
Edward
Burroughs
was
born
in
the
Barrony
of
Kendal
,
in
the
County
of
Westmoreland
,
of
honest
Parents
,
who
had
a
good
report
among
their
Neighbours
for
upright
and
honest
dealing
among
men
,
who
brought
up
Edward
in
his
Youth
in
Learning
,
and
good
Education
as
the
Countrey
doth
afford
.
He
was
a
very
understanding
Boy
in
his
Youth
,
and
his
knowledge
and
understanding
did
far
exceed
his
years
:
He
had
the
Spirit
of
a
man
when
he
was
but
a
child
;
and
I
may
say
,
grey
hairs
was
upon
him
when
he
was
but
a
Youth
;
for
he
was
cloathed
with
Wisdom
in
his
Infancy
;
for
I
had
perfect
knowledge
of
him
from
a
Youth
:
He
was
inclinable
from
his
Youth
upwards
,
to
Religion
,
and
the
best
way
,
always
minding
the
best
things
,
and
the
best
and
nearest
way
of
Worship
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
and
always
did
accompany
the
best
men
,
who
walked
in
godliness
and
honesty
,
insomuch
I
have
often
admired
his
discreet
carriage
,
and
his
great
understanding
of
the
things
of
God
:
He
was
never
known
to
be
addicted
to
any
vice
or
malignity
,
or
bad
behaviour
,
neither
followed
any
evil
course
of
life
from
his
childhood
,
but
feared
the
Lord
,
and
walked
uprightly
according
to
the
light
and
knowledge
received
in
all
things
.
In
his
natural
disposition
he
was
bold
and
manly
,
dexterous
and
servent
;
and
what
he
took
in
hand
,
he
did
it
with
his
might
;
loving
,
kind
and
courteous
,
merciful
and
flexible
,
and
easie
to
be
entreated
.
His
whole
delight
was
always
among
good
people
;
and
to
be
conferring
and
reading
the
Scriptures
,
and
little
to
mind
any
sports
or
pastimes
,
which
there
is
an
insidency
unto
in
Youth
;
but
his
very
strength
was
bended
after
God
,
and
was
separted
(
I
may
say
)
from
his
Mother's
Womb
,
and
fitting
for
the
Work
's
sake
,
whereunto
he
after
was
called
.
And
when
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
raise
up
unto
us
the
ancient
Horn
of
Salvation
among
us
,
who
were
reckoned
,
in
the
North
Part
of
England
,
even
as
the
Out-casts
of
Israel
,
and
as
men
destitute
of
the
great
Knowledge
,
which
some
seem'd
to
enjoy
;
yet
there
was
more
Sincerity
and
true
Love
amongst
us
,
and
desires
after
the
living
powerful
Presence
of
God
,
then
was
among
many
in
that
day
,
who
seem'd
to
make
a
great
flourish
;
who
ran
into
Heaps
and
Forms
,
but
left
the
Cross
behind
them
,
and
indeed
were
Strangers
to
it
:
God
out
of
his
everlasting
Love
did
appear
unto
us
,
according
to
the
desire
of
our
hearts
,
who
longed
after
him
;
when
we
had
turn'd
aside
from
Hireling-Shepherds
Tents
,
we
found
him
whom
our
Souls
loved
;
and
God
,
out
of
his
great
Love
,
and
great
Mercy
,
sent
one
unto
us
immediately
by
his
Power
,
a
Man
of
God
,
one
of
Ten
Thousand
,
to
instruct
us
in
the
Way
of
God
more
perfectly
;
who
laid
down
the
sure
Foundation
,
and
declared
the
acceptable
Year
of
the
Lord
;
who
indeed
made
the
Mourners
to
rejoyce
,
and
the
Heavy-hearted
glad
,
which
yet
was
terrible
to
all
Hypocrites
,
and
all
formal
Profession
;
which
Testimony
reached
unto
all
our
Consciences
,
and
entred
into
the
in-most
part
of
our
Hearts
,
which
drove
us
to
a
narrow
search
,
and
to
a
diligent
inquisition
concerning
our
state
,
which
we
came
to
see
through
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
which
was
testified
of
,
and
found
it
to
be
even
what
it
was
testified
of
;
and
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
we
sound
to
be
near
at
hand
;
and
as
we
waited
upon
him
in
pure
Silence
,
our
Minds
out
of
all
things
,
his
Dreadful
Power
,
and
Glorious
Majesty
,
and
Heavenly
Presence
appear'd
in
our
Assemblies
,
when
there
was
no
Language
,
Tongue
nor
Speech
from
any
Creature
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
did
gather
us
,
and
catch
us
all
,
as
in
a
Net
;
and
his
Heavenly
Power
at
one
time
drew
many
Hundreds
to
Land
,
that
we
came
to
know
a
place
to
stand
in
,
and
what
to
wait
in
;
and
the
Lord
appeared
daily
to
us
,
to
our
Astonishment
,
Amazement
,
and
great
Admiration
,
insomuch
that
we
often
said
one
unto
another
,
with
great
joy
of
Heart
,
What
,
is
the
Kingdom
of
God
come
to
be
with
men
?
And
will
he
take
up
his
Tabernacle
among
the
Sons
of
Men
,
as
He
did
of
old
?
And
what
shall
we
,
that
were
reckoned
as
the
Out
casts
of
Israel
,
have
this
Honour
of
Glory
communicated
amongst
us
,
which
were
but
men
of
small
Parts
,
and
of
little
Abilities
,
in
respect
of
many
others
,
as
amongst
men
.
Howbeit
,
thus
it
seemed
good
unto
the
Lord
,
to
chose
the
weak
things
,
and
the
foolish
things
of
this
World
,
as
to
the
aspect
of
men
,
that
no
Flesh
might
glory
,
that
no
man
because
of
his
Parts
might
glory
,
or
because
of
his
strength
or
wisdom
might
glory
;
but
that
the
Glory
which
is
his
,
might
only
be
given
to
him
,
Unto
whom
be
the
Glory
of
all
his
Works
forever
and
ever
,
Amen
.
And
from
that
Day
forward
our
Hearts
were
knit
unto
the
Lord
,
and
one
unto
another
,
in
true
and
servent
Love
;
not
by
any
External
Covenant
,
or
External
Form
;
but
we
entred
into
the
Covenant
of
Life
with
God
,
and
that
was
as
a
strong
Obligation
or
Bond
upon
all
our
spirits
,
which
united
us
one
unto
another
;
and
we
met
together
in
the
Unity
of
the
Spirit
,
and
of
the
Bond
of
Peace
;
treading
down
under
our
Feet
all
reasoning
,
questioning
,
debating
and
contending
about
Religion
,
or
any
part
or
parts
,
or
practice
or
practices
thereof
,
as
to
any
external
thing
:
and
we
waited
at
time
and
times
,
as
God
did
grant
us
Oportunities
;
and
the
more
we
had
and
could
obtain
from
our
necessary
Occasions
of
this
present
life
,
the
better
we
were
,
and
the
more
we
were
confirmed
and
strengthened
in
our
Hope
and
Faith
;
and
holy
Resolutions
were
kindled
in
our
Hearts
,
as
a
Fire
,
which
the
Life
kindled
in
us
,
To
serve
the
Lord
while
we
had
a
Beeing
;
and
to
make
mention
of
his
Name
and
Power
whilst
we
did
live
;
and
to
hold
forth
that
Testimony
which
was
committed
to
us
,
in
the
sight
of
Men
and
Nations
,
by
Doctrine
,
by
Practice
,
by
a
holy
Conversation
;
and
mightily
did
the
Word
of
God
grow
amongst
us
;
and
the
desires
of
many
were
after
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
Oh
happy
Day
!
Oh
blessed
Day
!
the
memorial
of
which
can
never
pass
out
of
my
Mind
.
And
thus
the
Lord
,
in
short
,
did
form
us
to
be
a
People
for
his
Praise
in
our
Generation
.
Howbeit
,
after
all
this
,
and
much
more
,
which
time
would
fail
me
to
write
of
(
neither
is
the
purpose
of
my
spirit
bent
that
way
at
this
time
)
we
did
come
through
very
great
Tribulations
,
extream
Distresses
,
great
Perplexity
;
and
passed
out
oftentimes
hungry
,
and
hard
put
to
it
,
both
within
and
without
;
yet
such
was
our
love
to
the
Lord
,
and
such
servency
in
our
hearts
,
That
we
rather
chosed
to
dye
,
and
to
undergo
every
Difficulty
,
than
to
dishonour
or
deny
the
Name
of
Christ
in
the
midst
of
suffering
,
because
of
that
Taste
that
we
had
of
his
Goodness
and
immortal
Life
revealed
in
our
Hearts
;
this
Young
Man
,
of
whom
I
am
speaking
,
had
his
share
,
though
but
a
Youth
at
that
time
,
of
16.
or
17.
years
of
age
.
Because
of
the
I
ruth
which
crossed
all
the
world's
wayes
,
his
nearest
Relations
,
even
his
own
Parents
,
cast
him
off
,
as
an
Alien
,
and
turn'd
him
out
from
their
House
,
as
not
to
have
any
Part
or
Portion
therein
,
as
a
Son
,
nay
,
not
so
much
as
a
hired
Servant
;
which
this
young
Man
bore
very
patiently
,
without
Murmuring
or
Complaining
,
having
a
taste
of
that
then
which
was
better
then
all
the
World
;
and
through
conversing
with
his
people
,
and
amongst
them
,
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
came
upon
him
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Wisdom
and
Understanding
entred
into
his
Heart
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Knowledge
and
sound
Judgment
came
to
be
seated
in
his
Reins
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Prophesie
came
upon
him
,
like
as
it
did
upon
many
more
,
through
the
Holy
Ghost's
Power
and
Operation
;
and
he
spake
of
the
wonderful
things
of
God
among
them
that
believed
;
and
was
one
of
the
first
among
us
which
the
Lord
opened
the
Mouth
of
,
to
shew
forth
his
Praise
,
and
to
speak
of
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
to
as
many
as
he
met
with
,
who
waited
for
the
Consolation
of
Israel
,
for
the
Riches
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
to
as
many
as
desired
and
hoped
after
Eternal
Life
.
At
last
the
Lord
signled
him
out
,
and
commanded
him
to
go
forth
into
Countries
,
unknown
to
him
,
as
he
did
some
more
besides
,
upon
whom
he
laid
a
necessity
to
preach
the
Gospel
freely
,
without
Money
,
without
Price
,
without
Tythes
,
Augmentations
,
Gifts
or
Rewards
,
and
in
that
he
was
as
faithful
a
man
,
none
exeeeding
him
in
his
Generation
;
for
those
things
were
an
abhorrency
to
his
heart
;
and
where
he
met
with
any
such
Hireling
Shepherds
,
and
deceitful
Workers
which
had
gull'd
the
Nations
,
and
cheated
the
people
for
dishonest
Gain
,
and
kept
them
in
Blindness
,
the
Indignation
of
the
Lord
was
kindled
in
his
Heart
,
and
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
was
very
Sharp
in
his
Hand
;
and
whomsoever
he
met
with
,
which
walked
after
this
sort
,
they
were
sure
to
feel
the
weight
of
his
Weapon
,
and
the
force
of
his
Blow
,
by
which
many
have
been
deeply
wounded
,
that
they
have
grinned
like
Dogs
on
him
,
as
greedy
Dogs
indeed
,
because
of
their
present
Wound
and
Blow
that
he
did
give
them
;
and
though
he
was
but
young
in
years
,
yet
he
was
full
of
fortitude
and
true
valour
:
The
Lord
oftentimes
,
when
he
exercised
him
in
such
War
as
this
,
hath
filled
his
Quiver
full
of
polished
Shafts
,
and
made
his
Bow
to
abide
in
strength
,
and
he
was
as
dextrous
and
as
ready
handed
,
as
any
that
I
knew
in
his
day
,
against
the
Dragon
and
his
power
,
against
the
Beast
and
his
Followers
;
and
indeed
he
was
very
even-handed
,
and
had
a
special
good
Arm
,
and
seldom
mist
the
Mark
:
God
had
fill'd
his
Mouth
with
Arguments
,
so
that
he
hath
often
made
a
breach
,
in
the
Face
of
an
Host.
And
it
was
my
lot
(
which
I
cannot
but
say
fell
in
a
good
ground
)
to
be
his
Companion
and
Fellow-Labourer
in
the
Work
of
the
Gospel
,
whereunto
we
were
called
for
many
years
together
:
And
oh
!
when
I
consider
,
my
heart
is
broken
;
how
sweetly
we
walked
together
for
many
Moneths
and
Years
!
in
which
we
had
perfect
knowledge
of
one
anothers
hearts
,
and
perfect
unity
of
spirit
,
not
so
much
as
one
cross
word
,
or
one
hard
thought
of
discontent
ever
rose
(
I
believe
)
in
either
of
our
hearts
,
for
ten
years
together
;
but
our
Souls
were
bound
up
in
unity
and
peace
,
having
the
frame
of
our
hearts
bent
after
one
and
the
self
same
thing
,
to
wit
,
the
propagation
of
that
Truth
by
which
Liberty
was
obtained
,
and
Salvation
received
through
Jesus
Christ
the
true
Light
of
the
World
,
seeing
through
his
Light
the
whole
World
to
lie
in
wickedness
;
a
necessity
lay
upon
this
person
of
whom
I
am
speaking
,
being
constrained
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
by
which
he
was
made
an
able
Minister
of
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
to
preach
Repentance
,
Conversion
,
Salvation
and
Remission
of
Sins
;
and
accordingly
he
went
forth
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
the
Saviour
of
Mankind
,
and
was
an
able
Minister
of
the
glad
Tidings
of
Salvation
,
in
many
,
or
most
parts
of
this
Land
;
and
also
he
travelled
through
again
and
again
,
the
whole
Nation
of
Ireland
;
and
in
some
part
of
Scotland
,
and
some
part
of
Flanders
;
and
his
Ministry
was
made
effectual
,
through
the
Almighty
Power
of
God
,
in
turning
many
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
God
;
there
are
many
thousands
who
are
living
in
the
Body
,
and
alive
in
the
Truth
,
who
can
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
bear
Testimony
to
the
Power
and
Verity
of
his
Ministry
,
in
many
Countreys
where
he
travelled
;
for
he
laboured
much
in
divers
places
,
even
in
the
heat
of
the
day
,
though
he
began
early
in
the
morning
;
and
in
the
beginning
of
his
Travels
and
Labours
,
it
was
his
share
to
break
up
rough
places
,
and
untilled
ground
,
and
to
walk
amongst
many
Bryars
and
Thorns
,
which
scratched
,
and
pricked
,
and
teared
;
and
travelled
with
some
other
,
not
without
great
opposition
;
and
he
often
trod
the
pathes
and
wayes
which
had
not
been
occupied
in
the
Truth
;
and
where
darkness
had
the
Dominion
,
and
was
as
a
covering
,
he
brake
through
as
an
armed
man
,
not
minding
the
opposition
,
but
the
victory
,
and
the
good
of
all
souls
;
though
to
my
knowledge
his
sufferings
and
tryals
have
not
been
small
,
nor
his
exercise
a
little
,
on
the
right
hand
,
and
on
the
left
;
in
travels
often
,
oftentimes
buffetted
,
sometimes
knocked
down
by
unreasonable
men
,
who
had
not
Faith
;
loaded
with
Lyes
,
Slanders
,
Calumnies
and
Reproaches
;
often
in
Weakness
,
yea
in
Deaths
often
;
in
Watching
,
Fastings
and
Temptations
often
;
in
Straits
and
Necessities
;
in
Perils
among
rude
Multitudes
;
in
Perils
in
Idol-Temple
;
in
Perils
in
Streets
and
Markets
,
where
the
Lord
did
move
him
often
to
go
in
the
beginning
of
his
time
;
besides
the
exceeding
weight
of
service
from
Weeks
end
to
Weeks
end
,
insomuch
that
he
had
seldom
many
Hours
of
repose
;
and
often
suffered
by
those
spirits
who
lost
their
first
love
,
and
rose
in
opposition
.
He
was
very
diligent
and
faithful
,
true
hearted
and
valiant
,
and
the
Yoke
at
last
came
to
be
easie
unto
him
,
though
no
ease
at
all
in
the
Body
,
as
to
the
outward
man
;
for
he
made
the
Work
of
the
Lord
his
whole
business
,
without
taking
so
much
Liberty
unto
himself
,
or
about
any
outward
occasion
in
this
World
,
as
to
spend
one
Week
to
himself
(
to
my
knowledge
)
these
Ten
Years
:
He
had
ventured
himself
often
,
for
the
Bodies
sake
;
and
a
great
care
I
know
was
in
his
Heart
,
that
them
that
he
had
ministred
unto
,
and
others
that
had
believed
in
the
same
Truth
,
might
thrive
and
prosper
,
and
might
walk
as
becometh
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ
.
He
was
of
a
manly
Spirit
in
the
things
of
God
;
he
hath
engaged
himself
often
upon
the
Lords
account
singly
in
great
Disputes
,
when
there
were
many
Opposers
;
he
hath
stood
in
the
Door
,
and
in
the
Gap
,
against
all
his
Enemies
,
for
the
worthy
Name
of
God
,
and
taken
the
whole
weight
of
things
upon
his
own
Shoulders
,
that
others
might
be
eased
,
though
often
to
the
weakening
,
and
almost
destroying
of
the
outward
man
;
yet
doing
all
in
love
to
the
Lord
,
and
for
his
peoples
sake
:
he
did
it
with
Cheerfulness
,
and
it
was
a
Grief
to
him
if
any
opportunity
was
missed
of
doing
good
:
He
was
a
man
of
no
great
Learning
in
natural
Tongues
,
which
men
so
much
applaud
;
yet
indeed
his
Heart
was
full
of
matter
,
and
his
Tongue
was
as
the
Hand
of
a
ready
Scribe
;
and
yet
he
had
the
Tongue
of
the
Learned
,
having
had
experiment
of
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
being
acquainted
with
many
conditions
which
God
had
carried
him
through
,
he
could
speak
a
word
in
season
unto
all
who
declared
their
conditions
unto
him
;
or
otherways
in
his
publick
Ministry
he
was
very
plausible
and
elegant
in
his
speech
,
and
indeed
had
the
Tongue
of
a
learned
Orator
to
declare
himself
to
the
Understandings
and
Consciences
of
all
men
with
whom
he
conversed
,
by
which
many
received
great
profit
,
and
their
Understandings
came
to
be
opened
;
for
his
words
ministred
Grace
to
the
Hearers
,
and
his
words
were
forcible
and
very
pleasant
,
as
Apples
of
Gold
in
Pictures
of
Silver
.
This
young
Man
of
whom
I
am
speaking
,
was
one
of
the
first
(
with
some
others
)
who
came
to
the
City
of
London
,
where
he
met
with
no
small
opposition
both
from
Professors
of
divers
Forms
,
and
also
Prophane
,
who
heeded
no
Religion
at
all
;
and
the
Way
of
Truth
seemed
contemptible
,
and
without
form
or
comeliness
to
them
all
;
which
made
the
Opposition
so
great
,
and
the
Labour
so
hard
,
that
notwithstanding
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
reach
unto
the
Consciences
of
many
,
and
many
were
prickt
to
the
Heart
,
so
that
they
cryed
out
,
what
shall
we
do
to
be
saved
?
And
God
made
his
Ministry
very
effectual
to
the
conversion
of
many
in
the
City
of
London
,
whereby
a
great
change
was
wrought
in
the
hearts
of
many
,
and
many
hundreds
brought
to
know
the
Lord
their
Teacher
,
which
are
as
Seals
unto
the
Word
of
Life
through
him
unto
this
day
.
And
many
hundreds
,
I
may
say
thousands
,
heard
the
lively
Word
of
God
declared
by
him
,
and
were
convinced
of
the
Way
of
Truth
,
though
still
remaining
in
the
Disobedience
to
that
of
God
in
their
own
hearts
unto
which
he
declared
;
and
many
have
lost
their
day
which
they
had
of
hearing
and
receiving
the
things
of
God
;
for
now
he
is
taken
away
which
might
have
been
a
help
unto
them
while
they
had
time
;
and
all
such
are
not
worthy
of
him
.
He
continued
in
this
City
very
much
at
time
and
times
,
betwixt
eight
and
nine
years
together
,
preaching
the
Word
of
God
,
and
speaking
of
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
to
all
that
looked
after
it
;
and
great
watching
,
travel
,
and
exercise
in
the
Work
of
the
Lord
;
and
his
earnest
desire
was
,
That
all
might
have
come
to
know
God's
Salvation
,
and
the
Redemption
of
their
Souls
.
And
his
great
diligence
was
known
unto
many
,
that
his
only
rejoycing
was
in
the
prosperity
of
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
increase
of
Faith
amongst
them
that
did
believe
:
And
his
heart
was
much
drawn
towards
this
City
,
and
oftentimes
hath
he
said
to
me
when
sufferings
did
come
for
the
Gospel
sake
,
which
he
knew
would
come
,
I
can
freely
go
to
that
City
,
and
lay
down
my
Life
for
a
Testimony
of
that
Truth
which
I
have
declared
through
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
:
which
in
the
end
indeed
came
to
be
his
share
,
and
will
for
ever
be
his
Crown
,
who
loved
not
his
life
unto
death
for
the
Testimony
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
And
in
the
same
year
1662
,
being
pressed
in
his
spirit
to
go
visit
them
who
were
begotten
unto
the
Faith
of
God's
Elect
at
the
City
of
Bristol
,
and
in
divers
other
Counties
,
at
divers
Meetings
,
and
divers
particular
Friends
,
he
took
his
leave
of
them
,
saying
to
very
many
,
That
he
did
not
know
he
should
see
their
Faces
any
more
;
exhorting
them
all
to
faithfulness
and
stedfastness
in
that
wherein
they
had
found
rest
for
their
Souls
:
And
said
to
some
,
I
am
going
up
to
the
City
of
London
again
,
to
lay
down
my
LIFE
for
the
GOSPEL
,
and
suffer
amongst
Friends
in
that
Place
;
as
having
some
sence
of
his
Suffering
before
.
And
a
little
after
his
return
to
the
City
,
at
a
publick
Meeting
,
which
the
People
of
the
Lord
have
kept
these
many
Years
,
to
hear
and
speak
of
the
things
of
God
to
Edification
,
at
the
Bull
and
Mouth
near
Aldersgate
,
by
certain
Souldiers
,
under
the
Command
of
Richard
Brown
,
then
General
of
the
City
of
London
,
he
was
violently
plucked
down
,
and
haled
away
in
a
barbarous
manner
,
and
carried
to
the
Guard
,
and
so
committed
to
Newgate
;
not
for
Evil-Doing
,
but
for
testifying
unto
the
Name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
for
the
Worship
of
God
;
as
though
this
were
become
a
great
Crime
,
worthy
of
Bonds
,
and
(
at
last
)
Death
:
He
was
had
to
the
Sessions
in
the
Old-Baily
,
and
his
Accusers
were
Witnesses
against
him
,
and
them
that
had
abused
him
violently
,
their
Testimony
was
received
as
good
Proof
against
him
:
And
at
last
,
after
two
or
three
Sessions
,
he
was
fined
by
the
Court
One
Hundred
Marks
,
which
at
last
was
reduced
to
Twenty
Marks
,
and
to
lie
in
Prison
while
payment
;
where
he
continued
a
pretty
long
season
,
about
Eight
Moneths
,
with
Six
or
Seven
Score
Prisoners
besides
,
upon
the
same
Account
;
many
being
shut
up
among
the
Fellons
,
in
nasty
Places
;
and
for
want
of
Prison-room
,
the
Natures
of
many
were
suffocated
,
and
corrupted
;
till
at
last
many
grew
Weak
,
Sickened
and
Dyed
.
At
last
this
same
Young
Man
grew
Weak
;
and
though
a
special
Order
from
the
King
was
sent
to
the
then
Sheriffs
of
London
,
for
the
Release
of
him
,
and
the
rest
that
were
left
in
Prison
;
yet
such
was
the
Emnity
of
some
of
the
Rulers
of
the
City
,
that
they
did
what
in
them
lay
to
obstruct
the
Execution
of
the
Order
,
that
he
should
not
be
released
:
And
so
Weakness
grew
upon
him
daily
,
though
in
much
Patience
he
was
carried
through
all
.
In
the
time
of
his
Weakness
he
was
very
fervent
in
Prayer
(
and
that
often
,
both
Day
and
Night
)
unto
the
Lord
,
as
concerning
himself
,
and
also
his
People
;
and
at
several
times
he
spoke
several
precious
words
from
the
sensible
feeling
of
God's
Spirit
in
his
Heart
,
and
said
,
I
have
had
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord's
Love
unto
me
from
my
Youth
,
and
my
Heart
hath
been
given
up
to
do
thy
Will
:
And
he
said
,
I
have
preached
the
Gospel
freely
in
this
City
,
and
have
often
given
up
my
Life
for
the
Gospel's
sake
;
and
now
Lord
rip
open
my
Heart
,
and
see
if
it
he
not
right
before
thee
.
Another
time
he
said
,
when
he
had
a
little
ease
,
There
is
no
Iniquity
lies
at
my
Door
;
but
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
is
with
me
,
and
his
Life
I
feel
justifie
me
.
Another
day
afterwards
he
said
,
Thou
hast
loved
me
when
I
was
in
the
Womb
;
and
I
have
loved
thee
from
my
Cradle
,
and
from
my
Youth
unto
this
day
,
and
have
served
thee
faithfully
in
my
Generation
:
And
he
spoke
to
Friends
that
were
about
him
,
To
live
in
Love
and
Peace
,
and
love
one
another
.
And
at
another
time
he
said
,
The
Lord
taketh
the
Righteous
from
the
Evil
to
come
:
And
he
prayed
for
his
Enemies
,
and
for
his
Persecutors
,
and
said
,
Lord
forgive
Richard
Brown
;
he
may
be
forgiven
.
And
though
the
Distemper
and
the
Disease
was
violently
upon
him
,
yet
he
was
preserved
sensible
.
And
in
the
morning
before
he
departed
this
life
,
being
sensible
of
his
dea●h
,
he
said
,
Now
my
Soul
and
Spirit
is
centred
into
its
own
Beeing
with
God
;
and
this
form
of
person
must
return
from
whence
it
was
taken
:
And
after
a
little
season
he
gave
up
the
Ghost
and
died
a
Priso●er
,
and
shall
be
recorded
,
and
is
in
the
Lambs
Book
of
Life
,
as
a
Martyr
for
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
for
which
onely
he
suffered
,
and
gave
up
his
life
,
whose
death
was
pretious
in
the
Eyes
of
the
Lord
.
But
now
he
ever
liveth
with
God
,
and
his
Work
follow
him
,
and
his
Labours
shall
testifie
of
him
in
Generations
to
come
;
and
thousands
beside
my self
can
bear
witness
,
his
Life
and
Death
was
to
the
praise
,
honour
and
glory
of
the
Grace
of
God
;
unto
whom
be
the
glory
of
all
his
Works
for
ever
,
Amen
.
ANd
oh
thou
City
of
London
!
who
hast
been
a
professing
City
of
the
Name
of
God
,
and
Christianity
so
many
years
,
must
it
be
said
of
thee
as
Christ
said
of
Jerusalem
,
that
a
Prophet
cannot
perish
out
of
thee
:
Oh
,
how
many
Warnings
hast
thou
had
!
and
how
dost
thou
remain
in
obdurateness
and
impenitency
!
Oh
,
thou
art
not
worthy
of
those
Heavenly
Tydings
of
Salvation
which
hath
been
proclaimed
in
the
midst
of
thee
,
these
many
years
,
by
this
faithful
Messenger
of
God
deceased
,
with
many
more
,
who
is
taken
away
in
judgment
unto
thee
,
because
many
of
thy
Inhabitants
despised
and
set
at
nought
that
in
which
the
blessedness
of
all
Nations
consisteth
.
Oh
how
is
thy
Gold
become
dim
!
and
how
is
thy
glory
stained
!
How
is
thy
Countenance
marred
!
How
is
all
thy
Profession
became
dead
,
and
like
a
withered
Tree
without
Sap
!
The
Symptomes
of
death
are
upon
thee
;
Your
Sun
is
set
,
your
Glory
is
passed
away
;
Night
is
coming
,
and
Darkness
is
surrounding
you
,
and
you
shall
have
enough
of
Darkness
,
and
your
Paths
and
Ways
shall
be
filled
with
it
,
because
you
have
hated
the
Light
,
and
would
not
have
him
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
to
rule
in
your
hearts
;
but
have
chused
Darkness
rather
then
Light
,
because
your
Deeds
are
evil
,
and
in
the
end
thou
shalt
be
made
to
see
,
you
have
chosen
lying
Vanities
,
and
have
taken
Pleasure
in
the
Flesh
,
and
have
forsaken
your
own
Mercies
.
Repent
,
repent
(
if
any
can
find
a
place
)
while
it
is
called
to
Day
,
lest
you
be
shut
up
in
everlasting
Darkness
,
and
Truth
be
hid
from
your
Eyes
for
ever
.
●ake
warning
,
cease
from
Persecution
and
afflicting
the
Lord's
People
,
who
desire
to
live
quietly
and
peaceably
,
and
to
worship
God
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
with
a
pure
heart
:
It
is
too
too
much
that
you
have
done
already
;
the
suffering
and
death
of
many
Innocent
Righteous
Men
,
who
have
suffered
these
Winters
past
,
will
lie
as
a
load
upon
your
City
in
Summers
to
come
;
Remember
what
God
did
to
Amaleck
,
the
first
of
the
Nations
,
and
to
Moab
when
Israel
would
have
passed
to
their
own
Land
and
Countrey
,
that
God
had
promised
them
,
and
have
eaten
their
own
Bread
,
and
Drank
their
Water
,
and
have
passed
on
peaceably
;
but
they
rose
up
and
fell
upon
the
Poor
,
and
upon
the
Hindmost
and
Weak
;
God
was
Glad
to
Force
his
Way
,
though
it
proved
the
ruin
of
Amaleck
,
and
the
Misery
of
Moab
.
We
would
glad
walk
on
our
way
to
the
promised
Land
which
belongs
to
the
Saints
in
Light
;
we
would
eat
our
own
Bread
,
and
Drink
our
Water
,
and
what
we
needed
,
and
keep
our
Consciences
clear
(
in
our
Generation
we
must
)
to
that
which
God
hath
promised
;
and
if
we
cannot
have
away
,
God
will
make
one
for
us
;
and
that
you
that
set
your selves
against
the
Lord
,
in
the
end
shall
be
sure
to
know
and
feel
,
though
we
shall
never
lift
up
carnal
Weapon
,
nor
draw
Sword
,
neither
use
Bow
nor
Spear
;
for
God
hath
taught
us
to
love
our
Enemies
;
and
out
of
these
things
we
are
come
,
and
to
the
end
of
Wars
,
and
to
be
for
it
;
yet
God's
purpose
shall
be
fulfilled
,
and
he
hath
wayes
enough
to
plead
the
cause
of
his
people
,
and
he
will
do
it
,
and
wo
to
all
their
Enemies
.
And
do
you
cry
out
of
Popery
because
of
cruelty
and
persecution
?
And
will
you
be
found
in
the
same
Foot-steps
,
and
in
the
same
nature
?
Oh!
let
it
never
be
said
nor
thought
,
that
ever
the
Church
of
God
or
true
Christians
did
Drink
the
Blood
of
the
Saints
,
or
cast
them
into
prison
;
for
that
is
Babylon
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
that
doth
so
.
Therefore
be
informed
and
warned
;
set
not
Bryars
and
Thorns
in
Battel
against
the
Lord
,
neither
stubble
before
devouring
Fire
;
for
if
you
do
,
a
Consumption
will
come
upon
you
,
and
your
Name
and
Memorial
shall
rot
,
dye
,
wither
,
and
melt
away
,
as
Snailes
;
and
Glory
shall
rest
with
,
and
upon
the
Heads
of
the
Sufferers
of
Christ
for
ever
.

GEORGE
WHITEHEAD
HIS
TESTIMONY
AND
ACCOUNT
Concerning
Edward
Burroughs
ANd
as
for
E.
B.
our
dear
Brother
,
and
Companion
in
Travel
,
Suffering
and
Consolation
for
the
Everlasting
Gospel's
sake
in
his
day
,
his
Testimony
lives
with
us
:
He
was
a
Preacher
of
Righteousness
,
and
one
who
travelled
for
the
Redemption
of
the
Creature
from
under
the
Bondage
of
Corruption
,
and
proclaimed
Liberty
to
the
Captives
,
in
the
Power
and
Authority
of
God
,
and
therein
was
a
true
Witness
against
Oppression
,
and
all
the
Antichristian
Yokes
imposed
in
the
Night
of
Apostacy
upon
the
Persons
and
Consciences
of
People
;
and
truly
and
valiantly
he
held
sorth
the
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
vindicated
it
to
the
great
men
of
the
Earth
,
in
things
appertaining
to
God
in
matters
of
Religion
and
Worship
,
against
the
persecution
and
compulsion
(
which
had
its
Original
and
Rise
from
the
Power
of
the
Beast
,
which
hath
made
War
against
the
righteous
Seed
)
that
men
might
be
left
free
to
the
guidance
of
the
infallible
Spirit
of
God
(
which
is
not
to
be
limitted
)
in
these
matters
,
and
not
be
compelled
nor
brought
under
the
corrupt
wills
of
men
,
nor
their
failible
judgements
nor
invented
Forms
in
these
cases
:
And
the
Name
of
this
Minister
of
Righteousness
is
written
in
the
Lambs
Book
of
Life
;
and
all
the
Enemies
of
his
Life
can
never
be
able
to
blot
it
out
,
nor
extinguish
his
Memorial
.
Oh!
the
remembrance
of
his
integrity
,
uprightness
and
sincerity
,
hath
deep
impression
upon
my
heart
;
and
that
tender
love
and
affection
in
God's
Truth
which
he
was
filled
with
towards
all
the
upright
,
(
who
are
lovers
of
peace
and
unity
in
the
Lord
)
is
never
to
be
forgotten
by
us
who
are
yet
remaining
in
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
for
which
he
hath
left
a
glorious
Testimony
,
the
glory
of
which
shall
never
be
extinguished
,
but
thousands
shall
praise
the
Lord
our
God
because
thereof
;
yea
,
even
the
Seed
that
's
yet
in
the
lower
parts
of
the
Earth
(
where
darkness
covers
it
)
and
the
child
that
's
yet
unborn
in
many
,
that
's
curiously
framed
in
the
Mothers
Womb
,
whose
Members
are
written
in
the
Book
of
God
,
shall
glorifie
the
Lord
on
his
behalf
.
And
this
Testimony
many
have
already
concerning
him
,
that
though
his
Body
is
dead
,
his
Spirit
liveth
in
the
immortallity
of
that
Life
that
is
immutable
,
and
shall
never
die
,
not
wax
old
,
and
is
felt
among
the
Righteous
,
who
walk
in
their
integrety
and
constancy
to
the
Lord
.
And
this
faithfull
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
and
valiant
Souldier
of
the
Lamb
(
as
in
his
day
was
evidently
apparent
)
as
to
live
to
him
was
Christ
,
and
to
die
was
Gain
:
And
though
in
his
time
many
were
the
S●fferings
and
Afflictions
which
his
life
went
under
,
and
his
upright
spirit
suffered
by
,
both
from
his
open
Enemies
,
and
Persecutors
in
the
World
(
because
of
the
valour
and
courage
for
the
Truth
of
God
)
and
from
deceitfull
and
transforming
exalted
spirits
,
which
burthen
the
holy
Seed
;
but
now
his
Life
is
caught
up
above
them
all
(
and
is
out
of
their
reach
)
in
the
transcendent
and
unspeakable
Glory
,
in
the
Everlasting
Habitation
and
Firmament
of
God's
Power
,
where
he
hath
shined
(
and
doth
shine
among
the
Stars
,
that
have
kept
their
Habitations
,
as
one
that
hath
turned
many
to
Righteousness
,
and
that
hath
overcome
by
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
the
Word
of
his
Testimony
,
with
those
holy
Prophets
and
Martyrs
who
rejoyce
over
Babylon
and
her
Abominations
(
in
whom
their
blood
is
found
)
and
against
whom
he
was
a
faithfull
Witness
,
and
valiant
Warrier
,
whose
living
and
absolute
Testimony
therein
God
hath
blessed
,
made
prosperous
,
and
will
fulfil
to
the
uttermost
.
And
though
he
be
ceased
from
his
Labours
,
his
Works
do
follow
him
,
which
will
be
had
in
living
remembrance
,
and
precious
esteem
among
the
Upright
,
when
his
Persecutors
shall
be
broken
and
laid
low
in
the
desolation
and
ruin
of
Babylon
;
and
all
that
continue
in
Enmity
and
Deceit
,
and
all
the
deceitfull
spirits
that
have
burdened
his
righteous
Soul
,
shall
fall
,
and
their
blossom
wither
and
come
to
nought
.
And
if
any
of
his
Persecutors
or
Oppressors
be
yet
so
impenitent
and
obdurate
,
as
to
triumph
,
and
be
elevated
in
an
exalted
or
prejudiced
spirit
,
because
of
his
death
,
and
in
their
exaltation
and
pride
of
heart
say
,
He
was
taken
away
in
Judgment
,
or
in
Wrath.
To
such
in
Gods
Fear
I
answer
,
That
thousands
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
are
of
another
perswasion
,
not
questioning
but
it
was
in
God's
tender
Love
(
as
to
his
own
particular
)
that
he
was
removed
out
of
the
Earthen
Vessel
,
in
which
he
,
(
though
a
man
as
in
the
prime
of
his
years
)
endured
great
Travels
in
his
time
for
the
Truth
's
sake
,
and
the
gathering
of
many
into
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
which
his
Travel
was
the
greater
(
when
the
time
of
his
dissolution
drew
near
)
to
be
dissolved
,
because
of
his
Sufferings
,
(
and
the
extremity
of
his
Sickness
occasioned
thereby
)
which
many
others
were
pertakers
of
,
who
suffered
Persecution
and
Imprisonment
by
unreasonable
men
in
this
City
of
London
,
for
the
Cause
of
God
and
a
good
Conscience
,
as
chiefly
for
their
meeting
together
singly
in
the
Worship
of
God
.
But
this
I
testifie
in
the
Lord
,
as
in
him
I
have
felt
,
that
his
being
removed
,
was
in
Judgment
from
the
Lord
against
his
Persecutors
,
who
desired
and
sought
his
Destruction
;
and
what
they
have
done
against
him
,
hath
greatly
added
to
the
fulfilling
of
their
Iniquities
,
That
the
Blood
of
the
Righteous
,
which
cries
for
Vengeance
,
may
be
avenged
to
the
utmost
upon
them
,
who
would
not
suffer
the
Righteous
to
have
a
Beeing
amongst
men
,
nor
lay
to
heart
their
being
taken
away
from
the
Evil
to
come
.
And
they
who
,
in
a
byast
or
prejudiced
spirit
of
Enmity
,
are
listed
up
because
of
his
Decease
,
they
were
not
worthy
of
him
,
nor
of
his
Testimony
;
and
they
have
cause
to
Mourn
and
Lament
amongst
those
that
have
pierced
the
Just
,
and
slighted
and
despised
the
Messengers
of
Truth
and
Righteousneds
,
whom
God
hath
therein
Honoured
:
and
God
will
debase
such
and
their
vainglory
unto
the
Dust
,
and
exalt
the
Testimony
and
Life
of
his
faithful
Witnesses
over
all
their
Heads
.
But
we
,
who
have
been
well
acquainted
with
the
deep
suffering
of
the
Righteous
Seed
,
and
with
the
worth
of
true
Unity
,
in
the
weighty
Body
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
therein
do
behold
the
Glory
and
Compleatness
of
the
City
of
our
God
,
which
is
at
Peace
within
it self
,
cannot
but
prize
the
Ministers
of
Righteousness
,
and
every
Member
of
the
same
Body
;
and
oh
how
blessed
and
precious
is
the
Memorial
of
the
Righteous
in
our
eyes
!
and
how
deeply
is
my
Soul
affected
with
that
comfortable
Communion
,
and
those
many
and
living
Refreshments
that
we
have
enjoyed
one
with
another
,
even
with
him
and
others
,
who
have
finished
their
Course
!
Well
,
however
in
this
I
am
satisfied
,
That
though
we
be
left
in
Travel
,
and
our
Dayes
have
been
Dayes
of
Affliction
and
Suffering
,
for
Christ
and
the
Gospel's
sake
(
as
in
the
World
)
yet
in
him
,
whom
the
Prince
of
this
World
hath
nothing
in
,
we
have
Peace
;
being
come
into
Communion
with
the
Spirits
of
Just
Men
,
who
are
the
Family
of
God
,
written
in
Heaven
,
and
called
by
one
Name
both
in
Heaven
and
Earth
;
and
the
God
of
Life
is
their
Portion
,
and
his
Glory
is
the
Rereward
of
his
Called
,
and
Chosen
,
and
Faithful
Ones
,
who
have
dealt
their
Bread
to
the
Hungry
,
and
brought
the
Poor
to
their
House
,
even
to
the
Habitation
of
the
Righteous
,
where
the
Living
Bread
is
received
,
and
the
Heavenly
Mansions
lived
in
,
and
enjoyed
by
all
who
abide
in
the
Truth
,
and
retain
their
first
Love
and
Habitation
therein
,
in
which
True
Fellowship
is
enjoyed
,
and
the
Prosperity
of
the
Elect
Seed
known
.
Blessed
be
the
Name
of
our
God
forever
and
ever
.

JOSIAH
COALE
HIS
TESTIMONY
Concerning
The
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
and
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
,
Edward
Burroughs
FRiends
,
a
necessity
is
upon
me
,
and
I
am
even
constrained
and
pressed
in
my
spirit
to
bring
in
and
give
my
Testimony
concerning
my
beloved
Brother
before
mentioned
,
that
it
may
remain
and
stand
upon
record
for
Ages
and
Generations
to
come
.
And
this
first
I
say
and
declare
unto
all
people
unto
whom
this
shall
come
,
That
he
was
a
man
endued
with
the
Almighty
Power
of
God
,
which
lived
and
reigned
in
him
;
and
the
Treasury
of
pure
,
divine
,
heavenly
Wisdom
was
opened
in
him
,
&c.
and
understanding
(
in
the
things
that
relate
unto
God's
Kingdom
of
Peace
and
Righteousness
,
and
in
the
things
that
concern
the
Everlasting
peace
and
well-being
of
all
mankind
)
was
plentifully
manifested
unto
him
by
the
good
Spirit
of
God
,
which
(
I
may
say
)
he
had
received
in
a
plentifull
Measure
:
And
this
many
can
testifie
unto
,
and
his
own
Writings
which
remain
upon
record
,
will
in
a
large
Measure
manifest
the
truth
thereof
.
And
this
Spirit
dwelt
plentifully
in
him
;
so
that
thereby
he
was
able
to
instruct
many
in
the
Way
of
Life
,
Peace
and
true
Holiness
;
and
if
any
were
afflicted
in
spirit
or
mind
,
by
reason
of
the
Wiles
of
the
Enemy
of
their
Souls
,
or
if
they
met
with
any
difficulty
in
their
journey
,
as
they
passed
from
Death
to
Life
,
he
was
a
man
able
(
through
the
large
experience
that
he
had
of
the
dealings
of
the
Lord
,
and
also
of
the
Wiles
of
Satan
,
having
followed
the
Lamb
in
the
Regeneration
)
to
administer
a
word
in
season
to
their
refreshment
and
comfort
,
and
for
their
establishment
in
the
most
precious
holy
Faith
;
and
this
I
know
the
Witness
of
God
in
thousands
must
and
shall
testifie
unto
,
who
are
the
Seal
of
his
Ministry
.
And
moreover
he
was
a
man
that
was
able
(
through
the
Wisdom
and
blessed
Gift
of
God
that
was
in
him
)
to
convince
and
stop
the
mouths
of
all
Gain-sayers
of
the
Truth
,
which
he
(
with
us
)
professed
and
lived
in
.
And
it
is
well
known
to
many
,
that
he
was
never
backward
,
but
alwayes
ready
and
willing
to
appear
in
a
way
of
publick
conference
,
as
in
vindication
of
(
and
against
any
that
should
oppose
)
the
blessed
Truth
of
God
which
he
held
and
professed
;
and
also
to
manifest
the
Grounds
and
Reasons
wherefore
we
deny
(
and
dissent
from
)
the
National
Priests
of
the
World
,
(
and
their
traditional
Ways
of
Worship
)
and
the
hypocritical
Professors
thereof
,
who
have
not
the
Life
and
Substance
of
what
they
profess
in
words
.
And
these
things
(
it
is
well
known
unto
many
)
he
was
oft
exercised
in
;
and
he
did
not
go
about
in
Corners
,
nor
creep
into
dark
Places
,
hiddenly
nor
secretly
,
but
preached
the
Truth
of
God
,
and
Doctrine
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
boldly
and
openly
,
even
upon
the
House-top
;
and
his
valour
for
God's
Truth
on
Earth
,
was
well
known
unto
many
;
and
his
voice
was
as
the
found
or
ratling
of
the
Charriots
of
God's
Host
upon
the
tops
of
the
Mountains
,
and
was
oft
uttered
sorth
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
even
like
Thunder
,
and
the
Voice
of
the
Son
of
God
was
uttered
forth
through
him
,
by
which
the
Dead
was
raised
:
the
Witnesses
are
now
alive
,
let
them
bring
in
their
Testimony
,
that
the
truth
hereof
may
be
confirmed
.
His
Doctrine
dropped
as
the
Oyl
of
joy
upon
the
spirits
of
the
Mourners
in
Sion
:
His
life
extended
it self
as
a
sweet
Stream
into
the
hearts
of
the
Children
of
Light
that
thirsted
after
Righteousness
:
He
was
one
of
the
Cloud
of
Witnesses
,
that
dropped
down
the
Dew
upon
the
tender
Plants
of
God
:
He
pleaded
the
Cause
of
the
innocent
suffering
Seed
,
and
earnestly
contended
with
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
of
all
sorts
,
in
the
behalf
,
and
for
the
freedom
of
the
suffering
people
of
God
:
He
fore-prophesied
unto
them
that
were
in
Authority
in
the
dayes
past
,
of
their
destruction
,
and
of
their
overthrow
,
because
of
their
deceitfulness
to
God
,
and
their
false
and
cruel
,
treacherous
and
merciless
dealings
towards
his
people
;
who
had
made
many
fair
Promises
both
to
God
and
Man
in
the
time
of
their
adversity
,
That
they
would
grant
free
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
things
relating
to
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
that
Oppression
should
be
removed
,
and
the
like
;
but
in
the
time
of
their
prosperity
,
when
they
were
waxen
fat
,
and
grown
great
,
and
lived
at
ease
,
and
in
Pleasures
,
then
they
forgot
God
,
and
regarded
not
to
perform
their
Engagements
neither
to
God
nor
his
People
;
for
which
cause
the
Lord
cut
them
off
in
his
sore
displeasure
,
and
brought
an
utter
Desolation
upon
them
,
according
to
the
words
of
his
Servants
;
and
this
Prophet
of
God
lived
to
see
their
Desolation
come
,
(
which
was
sad
to
behold
)
and
his
Prophesies
were
fulfilled
in
his
own
dayes
.
And
he
also
warned
the
present
Rulers
of
this
Nation
,
to
take
heed
of
walking
in
the
Steps
of
them
that
are
gone
before
;
and
for
these
things
,
and
for
the
publishing
of
the
Truth
of
God
,
and
for
bearing
his
Testimony
with
boldness
against
all
Oppression
and
Cruelty
,
he
was
hated
of
the
men
of
this
Generation
,
but
chiefly
by
some
of
the
Rulers
of
the
City
of
London
:
He
sealed
his
Testimony
with
his
life
in
Bonds
;
and
so
they
have
wilfully
brought
innocent
Blood
upon
themselves
;
and
heavy
will
it
lie
upon
them
in
the
day
of
Account
(
which
greatly
hastens
)
wherein
the
Lord
God
will
make
inquisition
for
the
Blood
of
the
Innocent
,
and
reward
every
man
according
to
his
Deeds
;
then
will
his
Blood
be
upon
you
as
the
Blood
of
a
thousand
men
;
and
how
will
you
bear
your
Sentence
from
the
Lord
of
Hosts
;
because
you
will
be
found
guilty
of
the
Blood
of
his
Prophets
,
Messengers
and
Servants
,
which
he
sent
unto
you
in
love
to
your
Souls
,
to
fore-warn
you
of
the
Evil
which
greatly
hastens
to
come
upon
you
:
Yet
notwithstanding
you
have
done
all
these
things
,
and
the
cry
of
Innocent
Blood
hath
been
heard
so
loud
amongst
you
,
yet
have
you
hardened
your
Hearts
,
and
go
on
in
stiff-neckedness
,
and
persist
in
your
Cruelty
towards
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
that
are
left
behind
,
and
are
found
casting
them
into
Prison
:
Oh
,
wo
is
me
for
you
!
where
will
a
place
be
found
for
you
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
?
or
what
Covering
will
you
hide
your selves
under
?
Or
how
will
you
appear
before
the
Righteous
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
?
Have
you
no
consideration
in
you
of
your
latter
end
?
Or
else
do
you
believe
that
the
Lord
sees
not
your
Cruelty
towards
his
People
,
that
you
will
not
answer
his
requirings
,
which
is
to
do
Justly
,
and
love
Mercy
,
and
walk
Humbly
with
the
Lord
,
and
to
do
unto
all
men
as
you
would
they
should
do
unto
you
?
surely
if
the
consideration
of
these
things
were
in
your
hearts
,
or
if
you
had
any
regard
to
keep
your
Consciences
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
herein
,
you
could
never
do
as
you
have
done
.
Wherefore
consider
these
things
,
and
lay
them
to
heart
,
and
repent
speedily
,
lest
you
sin
your
day
away
,
and
place
of
repentance
there
cannot
be
found
:
For
this
I
tell
you
plainly
,
that
it
is
in
vain
for
you
to
strive
against
the
Lord
,
or
to
seek
to
stop
or
hinder
his
Work
which
he
hath
begun
;
for
he
will
be
too
strong
for
you
,
and
he
will
make
you
bow
and
bend
to
his
own
Name
and
Power
,
whether
you
will
or
no.
And
though
he
bear
with
you
long
,
and
suffer
you
long
,
yet
his
Long-suffering
will
come
to
an
end
;
and
though
you
should
be
permitted
to
fulfill
your
envious
Wills
and
lustfull
Desires
so
far
as
to
Banish
,
or
Kill
,
or
Destroy
us
from
off
the
Earth
;
yea
,
all
of
us
who
are
now
in
being
,
(
which
I
do
not
believe
ever
shall
be
)
yet
would
God
raise
up
another
People
by
the
same
Power
and
Spirit
in
and
by
which
we
stand
,
which
should
be
a
Terror
unto
you
;
and
should
possess
God's
Everlasting
Kingdom
(
which
is
not
of
this
World
)
over
your
heads
.
And
in
the
time
of
his
outward
weakness
he
was
heard
to
say
,
That
though
this
Body
of
Clay
must
return
to
the
Dust
,
yet
I
have
this
Testimony
,
that
I
have
served
God
in
my
Generation
,
and
that
Spirit
which
hath
lived
,
and
acted
,
and
ruled
in
me
,
shall
yet
break
forth
in
thousands
;
and
my
faith
is
,
That
it
shall
be
even
so
;
for
we
have
found
him
a
true
Prophet
amongst
us
,
and
to
the
Nations
.
And
this
also
near
his
departure
he
was
heard
to
desire
of
the
Lord
,
That
if
it
were
possible
,
to
forgive
Brown
,
&c.
And
so
let
all
Friends
be
encouraged
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
the
feeling
of
the
same
Spirit
that
was
in
him
,
(
which
we
know
is
the
Saints
Comforter
)
that
thereby
you
may
be
carried
through
all
Tribulations
and
Persecutions
with
chearfulness
,
that
in
the
end
you
may
all
receive
the
Crown
of
Everlasting
Righteousness
with
him
and
the
rest
of
the
Saints
of
the
most
High

Name

who
is

Reigns
with
the

And
in
his

in

Life-time
he
went
through
Sufferings

;
who
never
turn'd
his
Back
on
the

,
nor
his
Back
from
any
out

A

who
hath
got

A
1654
Warning
from
the
Lord
To
the
Inhabitants
of
Underbarrow
,
and
so
to
all
the
Inhabitants
in
ENGLAND
,
Where
it
shall
meet
with
them
,
who
holds
up
the
false
Teachers
,
and
false
Worship
,
and
who
beat
,
stock
,
stone
and
persecute
,
and
hale
out
of
their
Assemblies
those
who
are
sent
by
the
Lord
to
speak
his
Word
freely
:
With
an
Exhortation
that
they
haste
to
meet
the
Lord
by
true
repentance
,
by
putting
off
the
works
of
darkness
,
lest
the
Lord
cut
them
assunder
by
his
Sword
,
which
is
already
drawn
and
put
into
the
hands
of
his
Servants
.
Also
a
word
to
my
Brethren
and
Companions
in
tribulation
in
the
Kingdom
and
Patience
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
are
by
the
World
scornfully
called
Quakers
.
With
the
manner
of
my
passage
through
the
dark
World
,
(
wherein
the
simple
ones
may
see
the
deceits
of
the
man
of
sin
in
his
actings
like
the
true
Spirit
)
to
warn
all
to
follow
the
true
Light
within
,
which
leads
unto
God
,
and
to
beware
of
the
Voice
,
Lo

to
you

who
are
in
the
customary

under
the
barren

dry

Ministry
of
Man

stands

of

and
have
proceeded
out
of
the
carnal
inventions

is
not
according

To
you
all

I
clear

declaring
to
you

that

to

doth

in
the
cursed
deceitful

which
is
upheld
by
you

your

the

only
your

The
Light
which
is
Christ
do
I
witness
to
be
made
manifest
in
me
from
God
the
Father
of
Light
,
daily
leading
me
up
to
him
,
to
live
in
Purity

Uprightness
,
praises
be
to
him
for

in
which
Light
I
see
your
Teacher
to
be
a
Hireling
,
a
greedy
dumb
Dog
,
seeking
for
his
gain
from
his
Quarter
,
one
that
God
never
sent

but
hath
run
and
was
not
sent
,
therefore
doth
he
not
profit
you
at
all
:
and
from
this
Light
,
which
is
Christ
,
do
I
declare
against
him
,
as
knowing
him
that
he
hath
not
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
but
the
Letter
:
Freely
do
I
declare
against
him
,
as
knowing
him
to
be
a
Deceiver
,
and
an
Antichrist
,
being
once
I
was
deceived
by
him
,
but
now
through
the
rich
Love
of
my
Father
,
who
hath
made
himself
known
to
me
,
&
hath
shined
by
his
Eternal
Light
in
my
heart
,
do
I
see
him
and
all
such
to
be
Antichrist
,
and
no
Minister
of
Christ
;
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
I
do
declare
it
,
that
you
are
led
blindly
by
him
;
your
blind
Guide
and
you
are
ever
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Living
Truth
by
his
Ministry
:
He
layes
heavy
burdens
upon
you
:
He
is
in
the
generation
of
them
who
had
the
Law
and
Prophets
,
but
persecuted
him
who
came
to
fulfil

Law
,
and
who
hath
the
substance
of
the
Prophets
:
He
hath
the
Conditions
and
Experiences
of
the
Saints
in
the
Letter
,
but
who
are
brought
to
witness
the
same
Conditions
and
the
same
strait
Way
in
which
they
walked
:
He
is
an
enemy
to
all
people
,
to
you
from
God
I
do
declare
it
,
he
is
one
that
God
never
sent
to
speak
his
Word
to
you
,
he
calls
good
evil
,
and
evil
good
;
and
puts
Light
for
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
for
Light
;
and
therefore
wo
is
his
Portion
,
and
wo
is
the
Portion

of
all
that
upholds
him
:
What
will
ye
do
in
the
end
thereof
?
He
doth
bewitch
you
to
observe
,
That
calling
is
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
which
he
never
commanded
:
Poor
people
!
your
souls
lies
in
the
death
under
the
power
of
darkness
and
corruption
,
under
your
dead
Minister
,
and
under
his
dead
carnal
Observances
;
and
your
dark
Minds
,
your
Wit
and
Reason
is
only
fed
,
and
so
the
enemies
of
the
Lord
are
strengthned
by
him
,
and
you
remain
in
ignorance
and
in
blindness
,

cannot
attain
the
true
Riches
;
for
Christ
only
is
the
Way
to
the
Father
,
the
Light
in
every
man
which
leads
to
the
Father
;
but
this
Light
he
denies
as
having
enlightened
every
one
that
comes
into
the
World
,
as
several
times
he
hath
done
to
me
in
Argument
:
Here
he
makes
Christ
a
Lyar
,
and
doth
not
know
the
first
Principle
of
Religion
,
nor
the
Light
which
leads
unto
God
,
but
is
a
Heathen
,
and
knows
not
God
;
for
this
is
the
Light
which
all
the
Servants
of
God
in
all
Generations
witnessed
,
and
which
Light
we
do
now
witness
,
praised
be
the
Lord
for
evermore
,
who
hath
in
his
Light
led
us
to
himself
,
and
hath
shewed
the
deceits
of
him
to
us
,
and
of
all
such
as
he
is
;
he
is
in
the
generation
shutting
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
,
neither
entring
himself
,
nor
suffers
others
to
enter
that
are
entring
:

Through

am
I
bold
to
declare
against

who
walks
not

Doctrine

Christ
,
and
therefore
is
an
Antichrist
,

doth
deceive

professing
himself
to
be
sent

God

walking
contrary

saying

Ye

be
not

him

try
him
by

&
see
how
he
walks
according

the
Declaration

as
they
did

were
Ministers

,
not
by
the
will

his
Ministry
is
by
man

and
according

and
had
his
Call
from
man
,
as
it
is
known
to
you
all
;
but
they
who
were
true

witnessed
the
contrary

received
they

thing

is
the
same
that
ever
he
was

which
is
now
made

will
not
be
mocked
,
for
he
is
terrible
,
and
his
day
is
powerful
and
dreadful
,
that
shall
come
upon
the
Heathen
,
and
upon
the
workers
of
Iniquity
,
and
upon
all
Dissemblers
and
Hypocrites
,
all
your
carnal
Worship
,
and
Ordinances
,
and
Observances
,
is
but
mocking
of
God
,
and
dissembling
with
him
,
and
is
but
an
imitation
&
an
imagination
of
the
Mind
of
fallen
man
,
imitated
by
you
and
your
Minister
,
droven
by
the
imaginations
from
the
true
Worship
of
God
,
which
the
Saints
in
former
generations
was
exercised
in
,
who
were
led

not
by
imagination
,
as
you
are
,
but
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
as
all
the
servants
of

are
:
Now
as
ever
was

true
Baptism
I
own

which
is
by
the
holy
Ghost

with

and

the
Baptism
with
one
Spirit
into
one
Body
do
we
witness
;
but
that
which
your
Chief
Priest
and
false
Hireling
holds
up
,
I
deny
it
;
it
is
not
of
God
,
but
is
an
imitation
,
and
is
abomination
in
the
sight
of
God
;
and
therefore
from
God
do
I
Declare
against
it
,
and
against
your
Hireling
that
upholds
it
among
you
.
True
Communion
of
Saints
I
own
,
for
we
have
Union
,
and
the
Bread
which
we
break
is
the
body
of
Christ
;
and
the
Cup
which
we
drink

the
Blood

we
are

for
he
that
eats
not
Christ's
Flesh
,
and
drink
his
Blood
,
he
hath
no
life
in
him
;
he
among
you
that
can
receive
it
let
him
,
but
your
Communion
I
deny
,
for
it
is
Heathenish
,
and
no
more
but
an
imitation
,
having
proceeded
out
of
the
imagination
of
the
Proud
:
Your
breaking
of
Bread
and
drinking
of
the
Cup
,
is
abomination
;
and
God
never
commanded
it
,
and
this
doth
your
Pharisee
uphold
,
sitting
in
the
seat
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
Saints
,
as
the
Pharisees
did
in
Mose's
seat
,
saying

with

with

,
singing
in
the
Spirit
,
making
Melody
in
the
heart
to
the
Lord
,
this
singing
was
and
is
among
the
Saints
in
the
Church
of
Christ
,
this
is
well
pleasing
to
God
,
for
it
is
not
an
imitation
,
nor
by
tradition
,
as
your
singing
is
,
but
it
is
true
Sacrifice
,
the
song
of
the
redeemed
ones
,
which
none
can
learn
but
the
redeemed
ones
of
the
Lord
,
who
is
come
and
coming
to
Zion
with
songs
and
everlasting
Joy
upon
their
heads
;
but
your
singing
is
Carnal
,
Traditional
,
and
Heathenish
,
and
is
an
Imitation
,
and
is
not
with
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
;
but
with
the
spirit
of
the
World
,
with
the
spirit
of
Drunkards
,
Swearers
,
Lyars
,
Mockers
,
Scorners
,
Coveteous
ones
,
with
the
spirit
of
Wrath
,
Envy
,
Malice
,
with
the
spirit
of
Cain
,
with
the
spirit
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
chief
Priests
,
who
persecuted
the
Saints
which
sang
in
Truth
in
former
Generations
,
and
now
the
deceit
is
turned
into
the
form
of
singing
,
and
they
that
live
there
persecutes
them
that
sings
in
the
Power
;
for
thus
it
was
ever
,
they
that

lived
in
Profession
of
the
Word
outwardly
,
persecuted
them
that
lived
in
the
Power
of
which
was
professed
,
and
there
you
and
your
Hireling
is
;
but
know
,
that
the
Lord
will
take
an
account
of
you
,
and
give
unto
every
man
his
reward
according

to
his

:
You
and
your
Priest
have
got
the
form
of
Baptism
,
of
the
Communion
,
of
Singing
,
and
of
a
Church
;
but
the
Power
and
Substance
of
these
Ordinances
you
know
not
,
for
they
are
hid
from
all
vulturous
eyes
,
and
from
the
generation
of
the
Pharisees
,
and

,
who

now
,
as
it
was
ever
,
this
is
not

for

comes
by
the
hearing
of
this
Word
preached
:
And
the
Prayer
with
the
Spirit
of
Truth
we
do
own
,
for
that
is
not
in
word
to
be
seen
of
men
,
but
led
to
that
,
not
by
Custom

and

by
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
which
proceeds
from
God
,
which
hath
free
recourse
to
God
,
which
God
heareth
and
doth
accept
;
for
their
iniquity
is
purged
out
of
the
heart
,
and
is
not
regarded
,
for
he
that
regards
iniquity
in

not

therefore
all

consider
,
and
diligently
weigh
these
things
:
If
I
declare
unto
you
the
Truth
,
own
it
without

of

;
If
I
speak
a

,
let
me
be
accounted

and
all
you
simple

,
who
are
seeking

among
the

,
who
are
in
the
simplicity
,
seeking

so
did

Micha

cry
against
Hirelings
,
and
against
those
that
said
,
the
Lord
saith
it
,
and
he
never

to

and
against
them
that
preached

that
divi●ed

that
taught
for

,
and
yet
leaned
upon
the

as
your

,
saying
,
Is
not

And
from
this

do
we
declare
against

such
,

them
to

in

you

therefore
repent
,
and
come
down
ye

up

for
the
Lord
is
against
you
,
and
hearken
to
the

wait
in
it

and
cease
from
all
your

,
and
from
all
your
dumb
Teachers
,
who
are
Antichrists
,
and
denies
the

,
as

;
this

is
the

all

therefore
love

you
into

none
shall

TO

Inhabitants

have
I
cleared

,
and
have

have
directed

to
that
in
every

of

which
leads
unto
God
,

which
is
the
way
to
the
Father
,
which
is
the
true
Light
which
hath
enlightned
every
one
that
comes
into
the
World
,
which
light
all
who
loves
and
follows
,
walk
not
in
darkness
,
but
walks
up
to
God
out
of
the
Fall
,
from
under
the
Curse
,
into
the
Being
,
but
all
who
hates
this
Light
,
and
follows
the
imagination
of
their
own
brains
,
and
of
the
divination
of
their
Hirelings
and
Pharisees
,
this
Light
shall
be
their
condemnation
,
because
they
walk
not
in
it
;
even
this
Light
,
which
is
come
into

in

man
,
even
the
witness
in

Conscience
which
is
placed

shall
for
ever
witness
against

against
all

worships
and
Hirelings
,

shall
bear
testimony
to
what

the

shall
be

what
I
have
to
you
declared
as
concerning
your
Hireling
,
whom
God
hath
never
sent
,
but
is
in
the
way
of
the
false
Prophets

but
is
an
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Devil
.
And
as
concerning
the
Light
within
you
,
that
Light
will
bear
witness
to
it self
,
that
every
one
of
you
to
whom
I
speak
,
hath
this
Light
,
which
shews
you
sin
,
your
lying
,
swearing
,
pride
,
and
wicked
wayes
,
covetousness
and
wantonness
to
be
sin
:
this
is
the
true
Light
,
which
is
,
as
ever
was
,
foolishness
and
a
stumbling
block
to
the
wise
ones
:
This
is
the
Light
which
your
Pharisee
denies
to
have
lightned
every
one
,
and
this
Light
shall
for
ever
witness
me
to
be
true
,
and
shall
witness
this
poor
people
among
you
who
are
despised
and
contemned
by
you
,
and
scornfully
called
Quakers
,
to
be
the
servants
of
God
,
whom
I
do
own
as
my
Brethren
in
the
sufferings
of
Jesus
,
who
are
my
joy
in
the
Lord
.
Now
all
people
every
where
,
to
you
all
,
a
word
from
the
Lord
,
though
I
have
spoken
in
this
small
Volume
,
as
moved
by
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
to
the
Inhabitants
of
Underbarrow
,
as
declaring
against
their
false
Teacher
,
and
false
Worships
which
they
uphold
:
now
freely
and
plainly
do
I
declare
against
all
thy
Teachers
,
O
England
,
who
are
one
in
the
same
generation
with
him
in
the
Seat
of
Christ
,
and
of
his
Apostles
,
professing
themselves
to
be
sent
of
God
,
but
walking
contrary
to
his
commands
,
in
the
same
footsteps
which
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
walked
in
,
which
were
persecutors
of
the
Son
of
God
;
and
which
he
cried
wo
against
,
they
who
said
and
did
not
,
as
all
these
thy
Teachers
do
,
who
are
called
of
men
Masters
as
they
were
,
and
have
the
chiefest
places
in
the
Assemblies
as
they
had
,
and
prayed
standing
,
as
these
thy
professed
Ministers
do
:
Now
the
same
Light
which
ever
was
,
which
is
Jesus
Christ
,
is
now
born
and
made
manifest
,
which
is
witnessed
among
the
Saints
,
in
which
Light
I
see
all
thy
Teachers
,
O
England
,
to
be
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
her
that
hath
deceived
the
Nations
,
who
sits
upon
a
scarlet
coloured
Beast
,
and
is
arrayed
in
purple
and
scarlet
colour
,
and
decked
with
gold
and
precious
stones
,
and
hath
the
golden
cup
in
her
hand
full
of
abominations
,
whose
name
is
written
in
her
forehead
,
Mystery
Babylon
the
great
,
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
and
abomination
of
the
Earth
:
And
in
this
Light
to
I
declare
against
them
all
which
are
in
the
generation
of
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
,
which
seeks
for
their
gain
from
their
Quarter
,
and
which
steals
the
word
from
their
neighbor
,
and
have
taken
the
words
of
the
Prophets
of
Christ
and
of
his
Apostles
and
selleth
the
divination
of
their
own
brain
upon
the
Scriptures
,
(
which
the
holy
men
speak
forth
freely
to
the
poor
blind
people
)
and
teacheth
for
the
Fleece
;
and
if
ye
stop
not
into
their
mouths
,
they
prepare
War
against
you
,
and
which
are
called
of
men
Master
,
which
Christ
forbids
:
Against
all
these
freely
(
as
from
the
Lord
)
I
do
Declare
to
be
no
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
,
but
are
Seducers
,
and
blind
Guides
,
and
are
Antichrists
,
and
leads
the
poor
blind
people
in
the
wayes
of
death
and
destruction
;
for
they
are
no
Ministers
of
Christ
that
abides
not
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
:
these
have
run
,
but
have
not
been
sent
by
God
,
and
therefore
is
not
your
Souls
profited
by
them
,
but
are
in
the
dark
heathenish
nature
,
as
by
your
fruits
it
made
manifest
,
leaning
in
the
imaginations
,
and
not
in
the
counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
lying
,
swearing
,
drunkenness
,
covetousness
,
and
oppression
,
and
according
to
the
course
of
this
world
;
these
iniquities
are
ruling
among
People
;
Priests
,
and
Rulers
in
this
Nation
,
from
the
least
of
them
even
to
the
greatest
,
every
one
is
given
too
covetousness
,
from
the
Prophet
even
to
the
Priest
,
every
one
deals
falsely
:
All
your
Hirelings
and
greedy
dumb
Dogs
I
do
deny
,
and
all
who
are
of
God
denies
all
such
,
and
are
taught
of
God
in
the
ways
of
God
,
which
ever
the
world
derided
:
All
thy
Teachers
,
O
England
,
is
denied
of
them
who
are
taught
of
God
,
and
whose
Teacher
is
the
Anointing
,
needs
not
any
man
to
teach
them
:
And
by
thy
Teachers
who
are
in
the
way
of
the
Pharisees
,
art
thou
blindly
led
in
the
ways
of
darkness
and
ignorance
,
and
all
thy
carnal
worship
,
which
is
in
every
part
of
thee
upheld
,
which
is
to
Read
,
Sing
,
and
Preach
upon
the
Saints
Conditions
,
which
were
witnesses
of
God
:
All
this
I
do
deny
and
freely
declare
against
as
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
,
to
be
no
worship
of
God
,
but
imagination
,
and
an
imitation
of
the
Worship
of
God
:
And
the
living
eternal
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
but
mocked
by
you
,
in
your
imagined
worship
,
for
your
reading
of
anothers
condition
,
and
singing
of
that
which
you
live
not
in
,
and
preaching
that
which
is
gathered
from
without
by
imagination
,
and
conceiving
upon
that
which
the
Prophet
Prophesied
,
or
which
Christ
spoke
,
who
was
,
and
is
the
Substance
,
and
which
the
Apostles
witnessed
;
this
is
carnal
and
heathenish
,
and
was
never
commanded
by
the
Lord
,
nor
is
no
worship
of
the
true
God
,
and
against
this
worship
I
do
from
the
Lord
declare
,
as
in
the
eternal
Light
of
God
seeing
it
,
to
be
deceitful
and
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
being
I
am
Redeemed
up
to
God
by
his
eternal
Spirit
,
and
to
worship
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
and
not
limitted
to
a
day
,
place
,
or
time
;
neither
at
Ierusalem
,
nor
in
this
Mount
,
&c.
and
am
freed
and
redeemed
out
of
this
fallen
mans
invention
and
tradition
,
which
is
but
Cains
sacrifice
,
which
God
doth
not
accept
,
but
is
abomination
in
his
sight
,
praised
be
the
Lord
for
evermore
.
And
O
England
,
I
do
declare
against
all
these
thy
Teachers
,
and
against
this
all
thy
Worship
,
as
from
the
mouth
of
tbe
Lord
,
as
moved
of
the
Lord
to
speak
this
word
unto
thee
,
Thou
hast
spent
thy
money
,
this
many
Generations
,
for
that
which
is
not
bread
,
and
thy
labour
for
that
which
doth
not
satisfie
thee
,
all
thy
imagined
formal
Worships
and
carnal
Traditions
and
Ordinances
of
man
is
the
Lord
risen
in
his
Servants
to
declare
against
:
And
the
same
Light
which
ever
made
manifest
deceitful
Worships
,
and
the
deceitful
Hirelings
,
and
them
that
cryed
Peace
,
peace
to
the
people
when
the
Lord
spake
no
peace
,
is
now
risen
and
speaketh
in
thy
ears
;
O
Nation
,
the
same
everlasting
Light
which
the
true
Prophets
lived
in
,
who
cryed
against
them
that
sought
for
their
gain
from
their
quarter
,
and
that
cryed
against
the
horrible
filthy
thing
which
is
upheld
in
thee
;
O
England
,
this
same
Light
is
made
manifest
in
the
despised
People
,
called
Quakers
,
in
this
North
part
of
the
Nation
:
O
People
your
Teachers
have
beguiled
you
,
and
have
taught
for
the
Fleece
,
and
fed
themselves
with
the
fat
,
but
your
souls
are
hungred
by
them
;
for
they
are
in
the
Generation
of
them
that
said
and
did
not
,
they
love
the
Wages
of
unrighteousness
,
and
follows
the
error
of
Balaam
for
Reward
,
and
have
devoured
souls
for
dishonest
Gain
;
but
the
only
true
God
is
arising
to
beat
the
Mountains
to
dust
,
and
to
cleave
the
Rocks
assunder
:
In
thee
,
O
Land
,
will
the
Lord
manifest
his
Power
,
and
will
stretch
forth
his
Arm
for
the
deliverance
of
his
Chosen
,
and
for
the
Redemption
of
his
two
Witnesses
,
which
have
layn
slain
in
the
great
City
in
this
Land
,
which
they
that
dwell
upon
the
Earth
have
rejoyced
over
,
and
made
merry
,
and
triumphed
in
their
slaughter
;
the
Lord
is
arising
to
require
his
Flock
at
the
hands
of
the
Idols-shepherds
.
O
ye
Idol
dumb
Shepherds
,
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
upon
you
,
for
you
have
scattered
the
sheep
of
his
pasture
,
and
have
fed
your selves
with
them
;
the
Lord
of
Hosts
is
grieved
with
you
,
and
have
shaken
his
hands
at
your
dishonest
Gain
,
and
ye
shall
no
longer
wear
Garments
to
deceive
;
ye
have
long
deceived
the
simple
by
your
lyes
,
and
by
your
lightness
,
but
now
you
are
discovered
and
made
manifest
in
the
eternal
Light
of
God
,
and
the
mystery
of
witchcraft
is
not
hid
now
from
the
Saints
:
Therefore
O
England
hear
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
Thy
Prophets
are
light
and
treacherous
Persons
,
thy
Judges
judges
for
Reward
,
and
thy
Priests
preach
for
Hire
,
and
thy
Officers
imprisons
the
Just
,
and
thy
Rulers
are
evening
Wolves
,
which
seeks
for
the
Prey
,
and
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
grieved
with
these
things
;
therefore
,
O
Land
,
tremble
at
the
presence
of
the
Lord
God
of
Iacob
,
for
Esau
shall
become
a
place
for
Dragons
,
and
shall
be
dis-inhabited
in
the
day
of
mourning
,
and
lamentation
is
coming
upon
thee
;
for
that
which
the
Lord
hath
not
planted
will
he
pluck
up
,
and
every
corrupt
Tree
shall
be
cast
into
the
fire
:
All
thy
corrupt
Judges
,
and
Officers
,
and
Rulers
will
the
Lord
cut
off
utterly
from
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
will
restore
to
his
People
Judges
as
at
the
first
,
and
Councellers
as
at
the
beginning
,
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
:
Therefore
,
O
Land
,
prepare
to
meet
the
Lord
thy
God
by
true
repentance
,
by
putting
off
the
works
of
darkness
;
thy
Pride
and
thy
Oppression
,
O
Nation
,
is
seen
by
the
Lord
,
and
the
cry
of
the
Oppressed
through
thy
pride
and
tyranny
is
heard
in
the
ears
of
the
Lord
of
Sabbath
,
and
he
will
avenge
the
cause
of
the
poor
and
needy
that
is
Oppressed
by
Priests
in
their
Tythes
,
by
Lawyers
in
their
Fees
,
and
by
Officers
in
their
unrighteous
dealing
,
and
the
Seed
of
Abraham
shall
go
free
,
and
Israel
shall
no
longer
be
subject
to
Pharaoh
,
nor
to
his
Tax-masters
.
O
England
in
the
North
part
of
thee
is
the
Light
of
God
arisen
,
which
shines
clearly
,
and
which
discovers
the
abomination
of
thy
Teachers
and
of
thy
Worship
,
and
we
are
bold
to
declare
against
them
,
and
against
all
thy
corrupt
Officers
,
Judges
,
and
Rulers
,
and
this
Light
shall
shine
through
the
Nation
,
and
shall
be
spread
over
Kingdoms
,
and
the
fire
is
to
be
kindled
which
the
Lord
hath
promised
,
which
shall
burn
as
an
Oven
,
and
the
proud
and
all
that
do
wickedly
shall
be
as
stubble
:
This
fire
shall
proceed
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
two
Witnesses
,
as
it
did
before
they
were
slain
,
and
shall
devour
the
enemies
of
the
Lord
;
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
is
drawn
in
thee
,
O
Nation
,
and
put
into
the
hands
of
them
which
is
hated
and
despised
by
the
Rulers
&
Officers
,
which
is
scornfully
called
Quakers
,
but
they
shall
conquer
by
the
sword
of
the
Lord
,
which
the
Lord
hath
put
into
their
hands
,
over
Countries
and
Dominions
:
For
,
O
Nation
,
the
Lord
is
with
them
,
and
thy
unjust
Rulers
and
Officers
cannot
hurt
them
,
not
a
hair
of
their
heads
shall
perish
without
my
heavenly
Father
:
It
is
for
a
testimony
of
their
Fathers
love
to
them
that
they
suffer
shame
and
reproach
,
and
some
of
them
imprisonment
by
the
unjust
Rulers
,
and
for
a
witness
against
them
that
some
of
them
are
brought
before
them
,
the
Lord
is
chusing
the
weak
things
of
this
World
,
and
he
is
making
manifest
his
Counsels
to
Babes
,
and
revealing
his
Counsel
and
eternal
Truth
to
Children
,
and
keeps
his
hidden
Treasures
from
the
eyes
of
the
Wise
,
and
vulturous
ones
,
Praises
,
praises
be
to
him
for
evermore
:
For
the
Lion
of
Judah
is
opening
,
and
hath
opened
the
Sealed
Book
,
let
all
his
Saints
rejoyce
for
evermore
.
This
is
the
day
of
thy
Visitation
,
O
Nation
,
wherein
the
Lord
speaks
to
thee
by
the
mouth
of
his
Servants
in
word
and
writing
,
therefore
return
to
the
Lord
thy
God
from
whence
thou
art
fallen
:
Now
will
the
Lord
gather
his
Jewels
and
Chosen
ones
out
of
thee
,
and
will
raise
up
the
dead
which
lies
slain
under
thy
Teachers
and
Pharisees
,
which
makes
a
prey
upon
the
people
,
which
was
never
sent
by
God
to
speak
unto
thee
.
O
Land
,
Hear
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
Depart
from
all
thy
Teachers
,
for
the
Lord
hath
drawn
his
Sword
,
and
lifted
it
up
against
the
false
Prophet
,
and
the
Vials
of
Indignation
shall
be
poured
upon
him
,
and
upon
all
that
upholds
him
in
his
Whoredoms
and
Witchcraft
,
by
which
he
deceiveth
the
simple
;
therefore
lest
thou
be
partaker
of
their
Plagues
,
depart
from
them
:
And
all
people
,
mind
that
measure
of
Light
within
you
,
which
the
Lord
hath
lightened
every
one
of
you
withal
,
for
the
Lord
is
risen
to
teach
his
people
himself
,
and
he
is
fulfilling
his
Prophesie
in
thy
ears
,
O
Nation
,
they
shall
teach
no
more
every
man
his
neighbor
and
every
man
his
brother
,
saying
,
Know
the
Lord
;
for
they
shall
all
know
me
,
from
the
least
of
them
unto
the
greatest
of
them
saith
the
Lord
;
for
I
will
put
my
Law
in
thine
inward
parts
,
and
write
it
in
their
hearts
,

The
Lord
is
about
his
great
and
wonderful
Work
in
thee
,
and
all
the
Wars
and
Contentions
in
thee
,
O
Land
,
hath
but
been
a
making
way
for
this
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
hath
not
been
the
Work
which
the
Lord
hath
purposed
:
This
Work
is
made
known
to
them
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
and
abideth
in
his
Counsel
:
The
Lord
will
overturn
,
overturn
the
Nation
,
and
will
create
new
Heavens
and
new
Earth
,
wherein
shall
dwell
righteousness
,
in
which
all
the
Chosen
of
the
Lord
shall
rejoyce
for
evermore
;
And
all
the
Kings
and
Nobles
shall
cast
down
their
Crowns
before
this
Glory
:
And
all
the
men
of
War
shall
lay
down
their
Armour
and
Weapons
of
War
:
And
Nation
shall
not
lift
up
a
Sword
against
Nation
any
more
:
For
the
Lord
will
establish
Righteousness
and
Peace
;
this
will
the
Lord
bring
to
pass
in
thee
,
O
England
,
through
the
destruction
of
that
which
now
liveth
,
and
through
the
Resurrection
of
that
to
Life
which
now
lieth
in
Death
:
Hear
,
O
Land
,
give
ear
,
O
People
,
for
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
now
turning
the
World
up-side
down
,
all
old
things
shall
pass
away
,
all
things
shall
become
new
by
fire
,
and
by
his
sword
will
the
Lord
plead
with
all
flesh
,
and
the
slain
of
him
shall
be
many
;
corrupt
Judges
and
Officers
will
the
Lord
sweep
away
,
and
their
name
shall
no
more
be
found
in
the
Nation
,
the
fire
is
kindled
and
the
sword
is
drawn
,
happy
is
he
that
keepeth
himself
from
fighting
against
the
Lord
in
this
his
Work
,
and
happy
are
ye
,
O
Brethren
,
that
stands
faithful
to
the
end
to
see
these
things
accomplished
,
great
shall
be
the
battel
,
it
is
now
begun
,
many
shall
see
death
,
and
shall
yet
live
to
see
these
things
.
TO
all
the
Despised
and
Contemned
ones
,
who
are
Persecuted
and
shamefully
entreated
by
the
Generation
of
the
Chief
Priests
,
and
by
them
who
live
in
the
highest
Profession
in
the
Word
outwardly
,
ye
who
are
the
scorn
of
the
Nation
,
and
the
derision
of
all
the
Heathen
,
and
are
called
Quakers
;
you
are
my
brethren
,
children
of
my
Father
,
have
been
brought
forth
by
the
same
Womb
,
and
have
sucked
the
same
Breast
;
Ye
are
chosen
out
of
the
world
,
out
of
all
worldly
glories
,
and
earthly
excellencies
,
and
are
not
of
this
world
,
and
therefore
the
world
hateth
you
,
you
are
brought
out
of
the
broad
way
of
the
flesh
,
and
are
separated
from
all
the
world
in
their
ways
,
worships
,
and
forms
of
religion
,
and
are
redeemed
out
of
the
mouths
of
all
Idoll
dumb
Shepherds
,
and
hath
one
Shepherd
,
and
are
gathered
from
all
the
mountains
,
and
out
of
all
the
desolate
disinhabited
places
,
and
are
come
into
the
pleasant
sheepfold
,
where
is
green
pastures
and
fresh
springs
of
living
Waters
:
By
Faith
with
Abraham
are
ye
come
out
of
your
native
Country
from
among
your
kindred
,
and
out
of
your
Fathers
house
:
And
with
Moses
have
you
forsaken
the
glory
of
Pharaohs
house
,
and
chosen
rather
to
suffer
affliction
among
the
poor
despised
people
,
than
to
have
enjoyed
the
pleasures
of
sin
;
but
great
shall
be
your
reward
ye
Contemned
ones
,
glory
,
and
honor
,
and
everlasting
happiness
is
prepared
for
you
,
if
you
stand
faithful
to
the
end
;
the
Lord
is
with
you
as
a
mighty
terrible
one
;
and
therefore
shall
all
your
persecuters
be
ashamed
and
confounded
;
the
sound
of
a
trumpet
is
heard
among
you
,
which
makes
all
Nations
at
a
stand
,
and
all
the
Heathen
to
wonder
,
and
all
the
Rulers
,
Nobles
,
and
chief
Priests
are
in
consultation
,
combining
together
to
suppress
the
Army
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
which
he
is
gathering
together
:
fear
not
,
nor
be
dismaid
,
for
the
sounding
of
your
trumpet
causes
an
alarum
,
and
makes
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
Land
to
tremble
,
and
all
bows
before
the
sound
of
it
;
for
the
sound
of
it
is
terrible
to
the
Nations
,
to
all
Kingdoms
and
Dominions
;
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
your
Captain
,
which
rides
upon
the
Clouds
,
and
whose
glory
is
above
the
World
,
and
therefore
in
the
battel
shall
you
obtain
the
conquest
,
and
all
your
enemies
shall
be
put
to
flight
,
and
one
of
you
shall
chase
a
thousand
,
for
he
is
with
you
who
hath
all
power
in
his
hand
,
and
all
your
enemies
are
limitted
by
him
;
therefore
be
not
discouraged
at
the
raging
and
swelling
words
of
your
Adversaries
,
but
be
bold
and
valiant
and
faithful
to
him
,
for
his
is
the
victory
,
and
by
his
own
Right
Hand
will
he
get
himself
the
victory
:
Ye
are
my
fellow
Souldiers
;
and
fellow
Members
of
the
same
body
,
and
my
joy
in
the
Lord
;
stand
faithfull
to
the
Lord
,
and
be
bold
and
valiant
for
the
Truth
upon
Earth
,
for
you
hath
the
Lord
chosen
of
all
the
Families
of
the
Earth
to
place
his
Name
among
you
,
and
he
will
glorifie
his
Name
by
you
,
he
will
accomplish
his
Wonders
,
and
make
his
power
known
,
and
the
greatness
of
his
Name
in
the
sight
of
the
Heathen
;
let
all
flesh
be
silent
before
him
,
and
let
all
the
Pharisees
,
and
chief
Priests
,
and
the
wise
men
of
the
earth
stop
their
mouths
before
the
Lord
,
for
you
have
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
and
you
are
made
patakers
of
the
everlasting
wisdom
;
and
are
the
beloved
of
God
;
for
his
eternal
Son
is
born
and
brought
forth
among
you
,
and
therefore
doth
the
wise
men
and
chief
Priests
consult
to
take
his
life
;
but
wo
unto
your
Persecuters
,
for
they
are
the
seed
of
evil
doers
,
and
better
it
were
that
a
milstone
were
hanged
about
their
necks
and
they
cast
into
the
sea
,
for
the
Lord
hath
sought
you
to
worship
him
,
and
he
is
worshipped
by
you
in
spirit
and
in
truth
,
your
sacrifice
is
accepted
,
and
therefore
they
that
are
of
Cains
generation
persecutes
you
,
seeking
after
your
blood
;
you
are
made
partakers
of
the
blessing
,
and
therefore
doth
Esau
threaten
your
destruction
;
but
your
Preserver
is
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
and
therefore
shall
all
their
consultations
be
disappointed
:
For
wo
unto
them
that
digs
deep
to
hide
their
counsel
from
the
Lord
,
and
that
takes
counsel
but
not
at
the
Lord
;
All
ye
my
brethren
,
be
ye
faithful
and
obedient
to
him
who
hath
called
and
chosen
you
out
from
among
the
heathen
,
out
of
all
imagined
worships
,
to
worship
in
truth
,
serve
the
Lord
in
singleness
of
heart
,
and
give
up
all
to
him
freely
to
be
ordered
and
disposed
by
him
,
and
look
not
back
at
the
glory
of
Sedom
,
nor
at
the
riches
of
Egypt
,
but
follow
him
who
hath
enlightened
your
dark
understandings
;
and
hath
gathered
you
up
by
his
eternal
Light
;
walk
in
obedience
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
to
the
Light
made
manifest
,
for
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
is
as
a
man
travelling
into
a
far
Country
,
which
hath
given
talents
to
his
servants
to
improve
;
now
all
you
my
beloved
ones
,
improve
every
one
your
talent
that
the
Lord
may
receive
his
own
with
usury
,
that
he
may
be
glorified
,
and
that
you
all
may
receive
a
reward
;
therefore
all
be
bold
and
valiant
in
the
truth
,
and
fear
not
man
,
but
fear
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
and
walk
in
the
fear
of
the
living
God
,
and
despise
not
the
cross
of
Christ
,
but
let
the
cross
be
your
rejoycing
,
for
through
the
cross
is
the
power
of
the
Lord
made
manifest
:
Rejoyce
for
ever
and
be
exceeding
glad
that
you
are
counted
worthy
to
suffer
shame
and
reproach
,
and
some
of
you
imprisonment
for
the
Truths
sake
:
thus
it
was
ever
,
he
that
was
born
after
the
flesh
,
persecutes
him
that
's
born
after
the
Spirit
;
but
be
glad
and
rejoyce
in
the
Lord
,
for
you
hath
he
chosen
and
called
even
to
shine
as
light
in
the
dark
world
,
and
to
be
as
a
burthensom
stone
to
the
Nations
;
your
fame
is
gone
abroad
through
Nations
,
and
because
of
the
Man-child
that
is
born
is
the
Nations
troubled
,
and
the
chief
Priests
and
Rulers
combined
together
,
but
that
the
Lord
may
be
glorified
,
and
for
your
sakes
will
he
scatter
the
proud
in
their
imaginations
;
and
will
break
in
pieces
the
snares
which
the
Pharisees
and
chief
Priests
have
laid
for
your
feet
,
and
they
shall
be
taken
in
their
own
craftiness
,
and
fall
into
the
pit
which
they
have
digged
for
you
,
for
the
Lord
,
who
hath
called
you
,
will
set
you
upon
a
rock
,
and
will
preserve
you
out
of
the
mouths
of
cunning
Wolves
who
devours
souls
for
dishonest
gain
:
Sing
praises
for
ever
to
the
Lord
our
God
,
who
hath
chosen
us
to
make
manifest
his
love
and
truth
unto
,
and
hath
gathered
us
up
out
of
the
mouths
of
all
Idol
shepherds
that
made
a
prey
upon
us
,
and
from
all
the
mountains
and
hills
where
we
were
scateered
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day
,
where
we
were
devoured
by
the
wild
beasts
,
being
without
Shepherd
and
Sheepfold
,
but
praises
,
glory
,
and
honor
for
evermore
that
we
are
freed
out
of
the
cruelty
of
Pharaoh
,
and
from
under
his
tax-masters
,
which
layes
heavy
burdens
upon
the
people
;
rejoyce
and
be
glad
in
faithfulness
and
truth
unto
our
King
for
ever
,
who
is
the
Lion
of
the
tribe
of
Iudah
,
who
hath
opened
this
book
,
and
unlosed
the
seals
,
and
hath
led
us
to
himself
,
and
by
suffering
under
all
are
we
made
Kings
and
Priests
over
all
for
evermore
,
he
alone
is
worthy
to
be
praised
,
who
hath
avenged
us
of
our
adversaries
,
and
hath
given
her
to
drink
of
the
wine
of
the
wrath
of
God
;
who
once
made
us
drink
of
the
wine
of
her
Fornication
;
I
am
with
you
,
you
despised
ones
,
and
my
prayers
are
for
you
,
and
the
eternal
glorious
God
of
power
be
with
you
,
and
keep
you
in
the
middest
of
this
crooked
and
perverse
generation
,
for
this
generation
seeks
the
blood
of
the
Saints
;
the
Beast
,
which
was
,
is
,
and
now
makes
war
against
the
Lamb.
E
B.
A
true
Declaration
and
a
Discovery
to
all
the
World
of
my
manner
of
Life
;
what
I
have
been
,
and
what
now
I
am
at
present
.
I
Was
brought
up
by
my
natural
Parents
in
the
profession
of
Religion
,
according
to
the
generality
of
this
Nation
,
going
one
day
in
seven
to
hear
a
man
Preach
the
Word
,
as
they
said
to
me
,
and
to
be
exercised
in
the
formal
worship
which
was
then
upheld
,
to
read
and
sing
,
and
to
rabble
over
a
Prayer
;
but
I
was
wanton
and
light
,
and
lived
in
pleasure
,
without
the
fear
of
God
,
not
knowing
of
God
,
but
by
hear-say
and
tradition
:
but
when
I
grew
up
toward
twelve
years
of
age
,
something
stirred
in
me
,
and
shewed
me
,
that
there
was
a
higher
Religion
than
that
I
was
exercised
in
;
and
then
I
inquired
where
the
chiefest
of
the
Presbyterian
Priests
preached
,
and
would
have
gone
some
miles
of
a
first
day
to
have
heard
one
of
the
best
of
them
,
which
seemed
liker
truth
than
the
other
,
and
so
I
got
up
to
be
a
Presbyterian
,
and
followed
the
highest
of
the
Priests
and
Professors
of
that
form
,
and
grew
in
favor
with
them
,
then
some
small
of
my
vanity
and
lightness
I
left
,
and
Pride
grew
up
in
me
,
for
wisdom
grew
up
in
me
;
then
some
of
my
for●er
acquaintance
began
to
scorn
me
,
calling
me
a
Round-head
,
and
the
like
;
and
by
my
labouring
here
,
I
gathered
knowledge
in
things
without
,
but
yet
was
ignorant
of
the
living
Truth
:
Then
when
I
was
about
seventeen
years
of
age
,
it
pleased
God
to
shew
himself
a
little
to
me
,
and
somthing
struck
me
with
terror
,
and
when
I
had
been
praying
,
I
heard
the
voice
often
,
Thou
art
ignorant
of
God
,
thou
knowest
not
where
he
is
,
nor
what
he
is
;
to
what
purpose
is
thy
Prayer
?
And
so
much
fear
and
dread
came
upon
me
,
and
broke
me
off
from
praying
many
times
,
and
trouble
came
thick
into
my
mind
,
and
fearfulness
fell
many
times
upon
me
,
and
I
was
struck
off
my
delights
that
I
formerly
loved
,
and
what
I
had
gathered
in
as
of
a
god
died
;
and
I
left
off
reading
in
the
Scripture
,
for
somthing
shewed
me
that
I
was
very
ignorant
,
and
knew
not
the
true
God
,
and
the
beauty
of
all
things
vanished
;
And
I
went
to
some
,
asking
,
What
God
was
,
which
was
professed
?
for
I
said
,
I
knew
him
not
:
but
got
no
satisfaction
from
any
.
And
I
was
much
separated
from
the
vain
ways
of
the
world
,
and
from
vain
worldly
people
,
and
was
made
to
reprove
many
,
often
for
wickedness
,
in
words
and
actions
,
and
was
much
decided
,
and
looked
upon
scornfully
by
many
;
and
then
the
Preaching
of
them
whom
I
had
formerly
much
delighted
in
,
was
as
withered
and
decayed
;
yet
then
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
shew
himself
a
little
in
love
to
me
,
and
I
had
sweet
refreshments
coming
in
from
him
to
my
soul
,
and
had
joy
and
peace
in
abundance
,
and
openings
of
the
living
truth
in
me
,
which
the
world
knew
not
of
,
and
the
mystery
of
the
Scripture
was
something
opened
,
which
before
I
knew
nothing
of
,
and
I
saw
many
glorious
things
in
it
,
which
lie
hid
under
the
letter
;
and
I
was
in
much
rejoycing
many
times
,
and
sang
praise
,
for
I
was
brought
out
of
the
Land
of
darkness
,
and
could
say
,
I
was
in
the
Light
,
and
I
grew
up
to
know
high
things
,
but
not
knowing
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
I
ran
forth
in
my
wisdom
comprehending
the
mysteries
of
God
,
having
a
Light
shined
in
me
,
and
I
grew
up
into
notion
,
to
talk
of
high
things
,
for
it
was
my
delight
to
comprehend
in
my
busie
mind
;
thus
being
ignorant
of
the
Cross
to
keep
low
in
it
,
I
ran
before
my
Guide
,
up
into
comprehension
,
and
then
was
I
above
many
of
the
Priests
and
Professors
,
and
followed
only
to
hear
the
highest
Notionists
,
that
Preached
high
things
,
but
the
fleshly
man
was
at
liberty
,
and
so
I
became
one
of
them
in
their
discoursings
,
and
was
looked
upon
by
them
to
know
much
;
the
former
terrour
was
gone
,
and
I
had
got
up
from
under
the
judgement
,
and
now
pride
grew
more
than
ever
,
and
self-conceitedness
and
presumption
,
and
fleshly
liberty
to
the
carnal
mind
,
and
my
delight
was
much
in
discoursings
,
where
I
played
the
Ha●lot
,
and
the
Prodigal
,
and
gave
holy
things
unto
Dogs
,
and
cast
Pearls
before
Swine
,
(
for
wisdom
was
hid
from
me
)
and
here
I
lived
pleasantly
,
for
I
had
the
true
God
,
and
the
true
Truth
in
my
comprehension
,
which
by
my
wisdom
in
the
Light
I
had
comprehended
,
and
I
had
the
world
in
my
heart
,
Pride
,
Covetousness
,
and
the
earthly
spirit
ruled
,
and
my
delight
was
grown
up
to
that
,
which
once
I
had
no
delight
in
,
and
the
beauty
of
things
grew
up
,
which
seemed
to
be
vanished
;
here
I
was
●un
from
my
Husband
after
other
Lovers
,
and
had
left
the
Lord
my
Maker
,
who
had
so
graciously
made
manifest
himself
unto
me
,
and
had
spent
my
portion
among
harlots
;
but
I
became
to
be
darkned
,
and
had
lost
that
which
once
I
had
,
and
had
but
in
memory
that
which
before
I
had
injoyed
,
could
tell
of
Experiences
,
but
they
were
dead
to
me
;
and
somthing
within
me
began
to
question
how
it
was
with
me
;
for
I
saw
my self
to
be
ignorant
more
than
formerly
,
and
I
saw
I
knew
nothing
;
something
desiring
in
me
to
be
from
whence
I
was
come
,
but
I
grew
to
be
much
given
to
the
world
to
seek
after
riches
,
and
glory
in
it
;
and
I
fed
my self
with
what
I
had
formerly
enjoyed
,
and
said
,
Whom
God
loves
once
,
he
loves
for
ever
:
(
but
that
was
then
head
,
and
ruled
in
me
,
which
he
loved
never
)
I
was
wanton
,
and
lived
in
the
lustful
nature
,
among
heathens
,
crucifying
the
Lord
of
Life
,
but
the
blood
of
that
which
I
had
slain
cried
continually
,
and
the
witness
which
lay
slain
,
would
give
me
no
rest
,
which
the
earthly
made
merry
over
;
and
I
grew
to
be
weary
of
hearing
any
of
the
Priests
,
though
never
so
high
,
for
something
,
which
shined
deep
in
me
,
shewed
me
ignorance
in
all
profession
,
and
I
was
put
to
a
stand
many
times
in
my self
at
those
things
,
which
were
come
to
pass
;
then
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
send
his
true
and
faithful
Servant
and
Messenger
,
who
is
called
according
to
the
flesh
,
G.
Fox
,
he
spoke
the
language
which
I
knew
not
,
notwithstanding
all
my
high
talking
,
for
it
was
higher
,
and
yet
lower
:
And
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
speak
to
me
by
him
,
that
I
was
in
the
prodigal
state
,
and
above
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
not
in
the
pure
fear
of
the
Lord
,
but
full
of
corruption
and
the
old
nature
,
though
I
had
professed
freedom
,
yet
it
was
but
such
as
the
Jewes
professed
;
for
I
saw
my self
to
be
in
bondage
to
my
own
Will
,
and
to
my
own
Lust
;
and
through
the
Word
of
the
Lord
spoken
to
me
by
him
,
I
began
to
see
my self
(
the
witness
being
raised
)
where
I
was
,
and
what
I
had
been
doing
,
and
saw
I
had
been
making
an
image
to
the
first
Beast
,
which
had
the
Wound
by
a
Sword
and
did
live
,
whose
deadly
Wound
was
healed
,
and
was
full
of
Airy
Notions
and
Imaginations
,
and
was
worshipping
the
image
which
I
had
made
;
and
then
I
saw
my self
to
be
a
Child
of
Wrath
,
and
that
the
Son
of
the
Bond-Woman
lived
,
&
that
Harlots
had
been
my
Companions
,
and
was
no
more
worthy
to
be
called
a
Son
:
Then
trouble
and
distress
came
upon
me
,
such
as
was
not
since
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
and
I
was
at
my
wits
end
,
and
a
day
of
thick
darkness
and
trouble
,
a
day
of
weeping
,
and
mourning
,
and
misery
,
and
a
day
of
vengeance
and
recompence
,
came
upon
me
,
such
as
I
had
never
known
;
one
vial
of
Wrath
after
another
,
the
great
Whore
was
to
be
judged
,
and
to
drink
of
the
Wine
of
the
wrath
of
God
,
which
had
made
me
once
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
her
Fornication
,
and
then
I
separated
from
all
the
glory
of
the
World
,
and
from
all
my
Acquaintance
,
and
kindred
,
and
betook
my self
to
the
company
of
a
poor
despised
and
contemned
people
called
Quakers
,
and
now
am
I
one
in
that
Generation
,
which
is
,
and
ever
was
hated
of
the
world
by
the
chief
Priests
and
Pharisees
,
and
Generation
of
Serpents
,
and
hath
chosen
rather
to
suffer
Affliction
with
a
poor
despised
People
,
than
to
injoy
the
pleasures
of
Sin
with
the
great
multitude
(
though
the
worldly
pleasures
were
not
wanting
to
me
)
and
now
do
I
bear
witness
against
all
Forms
of
Religion
,
and
false
Hirelings
,
and
chief
Priests
,
who
walks
in
the
steps
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
of
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
,
and
was
never
sent
of
God
to
declare
his
Word
:
And
do
freely
Declare
against
all
out-side
Profession
,
and
Notion
,
and
do
witness
George
Fox
to
be
a
true
Minister
of
God
,
one
that
speaks
the
Word
of
the
Lord
from
his
mouth
,
one
who
was
sent
of
God
,
and
who
is
the
Servant
and
Messenger
of
the
living
God
,
he
is
the
Friend
of
God
,
and
wo
unto
his
Persecutors
,
they
are
the
Seed
of
evil
doers
;
and
now
I
am
despised
of
my
neighbors
and
carnal
acquaintance
,
and
is
not
greater
then
my
Lord
who
was
called
a
Blasphemer
and
a
Deceiver
,
as
now
I
am
;
but
praised
,
praised
be
the
Lord
for
evermore
,
who
hath
separated
me
from
the
World
and
worldly
glories
,
and
hath
made
me
a
partaker
of
his
Love
,
in
whom
my
Soul
hath
fall
satisfaction
joy
and
content
:
Thus
have
I
travelled
through
the
World
,
even
unto
the
end
,
and
am
now
come
to
the
beginning
of
that
which
never
shall
have
end
,
which
the
dark
mind
of
man
knows
not
.
E.
B.
I
Am
a
Prisoner
for
the
Truth
sake
,
and
for
Declaring
to
man
of
his
Wickedness
,
and
of
his
Transgression
of
the
spiritual
Law
of
God
,
which
is
spiritual
,
and
for
writing
of
a
Letter
,
which
was
written
from
God
,
to
shew
to
man
of
his
wicked
ways
,
and
how
he
stood
in
the
presence
of
God
,
as
by
the
spiritual
Light
of
God
(
which
shines
in
the
hearts
of
his
servants
)
was
discovered
and
made
manifest
unto
me
;
for
who
Speaks
,
Writes
,
or
Declares
,
from
the
Light
of
God
(
which
doth
discover
all
the
dark
paths
of
fallen
man
,
and
all
his
spiritual
Wickedness
)
Speaks
,
Writes
,
and
Declares
,
not
as
from
man
,
whose
light
is
only
natural
and
carnal
,
(
which
is
darkness
in
the
pure
Light
which
is
eternal
)
but
as
from
God
,
whose
Light
is
spiritual
,
and
doth
make
manifest
the
secret
Whoredom
of
fallen
man
;
and
from
this
Light
did
the
Prophets
and
Ministers
of
God
,
who
were
sent
by
him
to
reprove
Sin
and
Transgression
,
Speak
,
Write
and
Declare
;
and
in
this
Light
did
the
true
Prophets
Ieremiah
and
Hosea
discover
Israel
to
be
adulterous
,
and
in
the
presence
of
God
to
be
guilty
of
Whoredom
,
from
whose
presence
they
declared
:
And
all
now
who
are
sent
of
God
,
to
reprove
for
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
declares
from
the
same
Light
of
God
,
and
by
the
same
Spirit
which
Ieremiah
and
Hosea
did
;
For
the
pure
Light
of
God
is
but
one
,
from
generation
to
generation
,
in
all
generation
,
which
discovers
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
the
same
Light
now
,
as
in
the
time
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
:
and
from
this
Light
(
which
is
not
carnal
,
but
eternal
)
did
all
the
holy
men
of
God
Write
,
and
Declare
;
And
all
who
are
sent
of
God
now
,
witnesses
the
same
Light
,
and
Speaks
from
the
same
Light
now
,
as
they
did
then
;
for
,
who
cannot
witness
this
Light
,
are
no
Ministers
of
God
,
neither
ever
were
sent
of
God
to
Declare
the
Truth
from
God
,
but
are
Deceivers
and
blind
Guids
,
and
spea●●
from
the
natural
and
carnal
light
,
the
imagined
and
supposed
light
,
which
hath
not
seen
the
living
&
spiritual
God
;
for
Declaring
by
Writing
to
a
man
that
he
is
guilty
of
all
manner
of
wickedness
,
naming
,
pride
,
drunkenness
,
and
whoredom
,
I
am
imprisoned
;
I
wrote
not
as
from
man
,
whose
light
is
only
natural
and
carnal
,
and
doth
only
make
manifest
carnal
Transgressions
,
of
a
carnal
Law
,
but
as
from
the
eternal
and
spiritual
light
,
which
doth
make
manifest
spiritual
Transgressions
of
a
spiritual
Law
;
And
in
this
Light
,
is
he
to
whom
I
wrote
,
guilty
of
all
manner
of
Wickedness
:
Now
this
which
I
declared
from
God
who
is
spiritual
,
is
above
the
reach
and
comprehension
of
the
carnal
and
earthly
Law
;
for
by
the
natural
light
through
the
earthly
Law
is
no
natural
man
able
to
judge
of
that
which
is
spoken
or
declared
from
that
which
is
eternal
and
spiritual
,
(
for
darkness
cannot
comprehend
the
light
)
which
light
all
the
Servants
and
Ministers
of
God
are
guided
by
,
to
Act
,
Speak
,
or
Write
;
and
therefore
do
I
deny
to
have
this
Cause
put
into
the
Judgement
of
carnal
Lawyers
,
who
judges
by
the
natural
light
,
through
the
earthly
and
carnal
Law
,
yet
willing
I
am
before
any
Authority
to
Answer
for
my self
that
whereof
I
am
Accused
;
but
to
the
Judgement
of
earthly
Magistrates
I
do
not
stand
,
but
to
the
Judgement
of
the
Living
and
Eternal
Judge
,
who
Judges
not
according
to
the
sight
of
the
eyes
,
and
hearing
of
the
ears
,
but
who
judges
with
Equity
and
Righteousness
;
thus
rather
I
chose
to
suffer
imprisonment
in
the
Body
,
yet
free
as
to
God
in
the
Truth
,
waiting
to
be
Redeemed
,
not
by
the
earthly
Powers
,
through
the
earthly
Law
,
but
by
him
who
is
Eternal
,
whose
Law
is
Eternal
,
who
orders
all
things
by
his
mighty
Power
,
to
which
Power
I
give
up
my self
to
be
kept
in
it
,
and
ordered
by
it
continually
.
Here
I
have
given
to
all
People
the
ground
of
my
Imprisoment
in
the
particular
of
it
,
though
I
might
in
few
words
have
declared
the
thing
;
for
between
the
seed
of
the
Woman
and
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
,
is
Enmity
put
;
and
he
in
whom
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
is
Ruling
,
seeks
the
destruction
of
him
in
whom
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
is
Raised
:
And
here
is
the
Ground
of
all
the
Saints
Imprisonment
now
,
as
ever
was
,
the
envy
of
the
Devil
working
in
Fallen
man
,
against
the
living
Truth
of
God
,
where
it
is
made
manifest
.
By
one
who
is
a
Labourer
in
the
Vineyard
,
who
is
not
known
to
the
World
;

though
named
of
the
World
)
EDWARD
BURROUGH

THE
Walls
of
Jericho
Razed
down
to
the
GROUND
:
OR
An
Answer
to
a
Lying
Book
,
called
,
The
Quaking
Principles
dashed
in
pieces
:
Wherein
one
called
Henoch
Howet
,
which
goes
under
the
name
of
an
Anabaptist
,
doth
falsely
accuse
,
and
maliciously
belye
us
:
his
seven
Principles
,
which
he
calls
ours
,
I
shall
lay
down
,
and
what
we
own
is
vindicated
,
and
what
he
hath
belyed
the
Truth
in
,
is
turned
upon
his
own
head
.
NOw
is
the
time
wherein
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
setting
up
a
Kingdom
,
and
exalting
his
Name
in
the
Earth
,
and
is
exalting
his
own
Son
upon
the
holy
Hill
of
Sion
,
and
is
discovering
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
who
hath
made
all
Nations
drunk
with
her
Fornication
,
and
Iezabel
shall
be
cast
into
a
Bed
of
Torment
,
and
the
fire
of
the
Lord
God
is
come
down
from
Heaven
,
and
is
kindled
in
the
Earth
,
to
burn
up
and
destroy
,
and
to
consume
to
ashes
,
even
all
those
that
have
worshipped
the
Beast
,
and
hath
his
Image
,
and
the
false
Prophets
that
have
deceived
the
Nations
,
and
they
both
shall
be
taken
alive
,
and
cast
into
the
pit
;
for
the
Lord
is
grieved
and
wearied
with
this
adulterous
and
viperous
Generation
,
who
are
offering
up
that
which
stinks
in
his
nostrils
,
and
strange
fire
,
and
are
professing
him
and
his
Resurrection
,
who
crucifie
him
,
and
put
him
to
open
shame
,
and
they
deny
the
end
of
his
coming
,
and
are
offering
in
Cains
nature
,
while
they
slay
the
Just
,
and
are
in
the
gainsaying
of
Corah
,
who
perished
in
it
,
and
so
shall
all
those
that
gainsay
the
Lord
in
his
Way
;
and
now
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
proclaming
War
with
the
Dragon
and
his
Angels
,
and
they
shall
be
cast
out
,
and
whosoever
doth
resist
him
in
his
way
shall
be
broken
to
pieces
as
a
Potters
vessel
;
and
thou
Henoch
Howet
,
who
would
limit
the
holy
One
of
Israel
,
and
bind
him
up
in
thy
carnal
reason
,
and
stint
him
in
his
Way
,
and
Form
up
things
in
thy
imagination
from
the
Scripture
,
and
walks
by
Tradition
;
thou
art
accusing
us
among
the
Papist
,
but
let
it
stand
for
thy self
,
and
to
that
in
thy
Conscience
I
speak
,
and
it
will
let
thee
see
that
all
thy
worship
is
taken
on
in
thy
will
,
and
in
that
nature
in
which
the
enmity
stands
,
and
so
hath
taken
on
things
,
and
taken
up
things
by
tradition
from
others
,
and
that
which
was
commands
to
others
,
who
followed
the
Lamb
whithersoever
he
went
,
and
no
commands
to
thee
,
neither
doth
God
require
those
things
of
that
nature
,
neither
doth
he
accept
it
,
while
the
bands
of
wickedness
is
not
loosed
,
and
the
oppressed
is
not
set
free
,
and
therefore
let
all
flesh
and
carnal
reason
be
silent
,
for
God
will
confound
the
wisdom
of
the
wise
,
and
they
that
have
divined
in
their
reasons
,
which
is
in
the
curse
,
and
under
the
curse
,
shall
be
mad
,
now
in
the
day
when
God
is
raising
up
his
own
Image
,
and
bringing
back
that
which
hath
long
been
held
in
captivity
,
and
now
the
men
of
the
Earth
,
Pharaoh
,
and
all
the
Inchanters
of
Egypt
,
and
the
South-sayers
,
and
the
Diviners
,
and
Gog
and
Magog
,
among
which
thou
Hewet
art
found
one
,
and
they
compass
the
Camp
of
the
Saints
about
,
but
fire
shall
come
down
from
Heaven
,
that
shall
destroy
all
the
Adversaries
of
the
Lord
,
and
Israel
shall
go
free
.
1.
That
which
thou
calls
our
first
Principle
;
And
first
,
thou
sayest
,
They
oppose
the
Word
Christ
,
to
the
written
word
;
and
will
have
a
Word
that
is
a
discovery
spiritual
to
be
the
Word
,
but
whatsoever
it
is
they
call
the
Word
,
it
is
perfectly
false
,
and
not
the
truth
.
Answer
.
Oh
thou
Lyar
and
Slanderer
,
the
Lord
will
plead
with
thee
,
for
Addars
Poyson
is
under
thy
tongue
,
and
thou
hast
a
Whores
forehead
,
that
art
not
ashamed
of
thy
false
accusing
,
let
hundreds
in
the
City
of
London
,
who
hath
heard
us
,
be
witness
against
thee
,
and
thy
Lyes
that
thou
hast
Printed
,
and
suffers
them
to
be
cryed
up
and
down
the
streets
,
as
thy
filthy
Songs
and
Ballads
,
and
runs
to
disgrace
the
Truth
,
but
to
the
Lord
,
who
is
righteous
,
shalt
thou
give
an
account
;
and
thou
art
as
Ianes
and
Iambres
,
that
withstood
Moses
,
and
for
all
thy
hard
Speeches
and
filthy
.
Lyes
,
shalt
thou
give
an
Account
for
to
him
who
is
the
Searcher
of
hearts
,
and
that
in
thy
Conscience
shall
bear
witness
against
thee
;
and
that
we
oppose
the
Word
Christ
to
the
written
word
,
as
thou
callst
it
,
I
charge
it
upon
thee
,
that
we
do
not
oppose
Christ
to
the
Scripture
,
for
Christ
is
the
Word
,
Iohn
1.
and
this
the
Scripture
doth
not
oppose
,
but
bears
witness
to
him
who
is
the
Word
;
and
his
Name
is
called
the
Word
of
God
,
and
this
Word
became
flesh
and
dwelt
among
us
,
as
the
Scriptures
witness
,
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
endures
for
ever
;
but
he
doth
not
say
the
Letter
endures
for
ever
:
but
thou
that
art
accusing
us
that
we
do
not
own
a
form
of
sound
words
,
here
thou
shalt
be
judged
out
of
thy
own
mouth
;
where
readst
thou
of
a
written
word
in
the
Scripture
?
and
here
thou
shalt
be
tryed
by
the
Scripture
,
and
judged
by
it
,
that
thou
art
a
perverter
of
the
Scripture
;
thou
wouldst
have
more
words
then
one
,
the
Word
is
but
one
,
the
Word
sanctifies
,
Sanctifie
them
through
thy
Word
,
but
he
doth
not
say
the
Letter
sanctifies
;
And
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
,
but
the
Letter
is
not
from
everlasting
;
and
the
Scripture
had
a
beginning
,
and
was
declared
in
time
,
and
Prophesie
shall
cease
,
but
the
Word
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
;
And
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
as
a
Hammer
,
and
as
a
Fire
,
but
the
Scripture
doth
not
say
that
it
is
as
a
Hammer
and
a
Fire
;
and
yet
the
Word
that
he
spoke
was
Spirit
and
Life
,
yet
the
Scripture
is
not
Spirit
and
Life
;
and
thou
that
wouldst
set
up
the
Letter
in
the
place
of
God
,
to
try
all
things
,
and
search
all
hearts
,
thou
makest
an
Idol
of
it
,
and
so
opposes
God
with
it
,
and
so
would
bring
that
to
contend
against
the
Lord
,
the
which
they
witnessed
through
sufferings
:
and
I
tell
thee
and
all
the
world
,
the
Word
is
but
one
,
and
all
who
knows
God
hears
that
Word
,
and
it
is
a
Light
and
a
Lanthorn
unto
their
Pathes
,
but
that
is
invisible
and
eternal
,
and
what
the
Saints
did
witness
of
this
Word
they
declared
,
1
Iohn
,
and
the
Scripture
is
true
,
and
bears
true
record
and
testimony
of
the
Word
,
and
they
were
true
Witnesses
of
the
Word
of
Life
that
wrote
it
,
and
it
is
a
true
Declaration
or
Testimony
of
those
things
that
are
certainly
believed
,
Luke
1.
of
the
which
they
saw
,
and
heard
,
and
tasted
;
and
all
who
come
to
know
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
reads
it
again
,
and
sees
it
as
it
is
written
:
and
further
,
thy
envy
and
shame
is
made
manifest
,
that
thou
wouldst
accuse
,
and
yet
thou
sayst
whatsoever
they
call
the
word
,
it
is
perfectly
false
,
and
not
truth
;
here
thou
would
judge
,
and
yet
thou
canst
not
tell
what
we
call
the
Word
,
but
at
last
concludes
its
false
whatever
it
be
:
and
here
thou
blasphemes
,
and
callest
Christ
Jesus
,
in
whom
is
all
truth
,
false
;
for
no
other
Word
I
own
but
Christ
;
and
the
Scripture
speaks
of
no
Word
of
God
,
but
one
;
and
thou
that
wouldst
make
the
Letter
the
Word
,
it self
shall
judge
thee
;
and
thou
makest
much
mincing
and
arguments
in
thy
carnal
reason
,
and
sayst
the
ground
of
error
,
is
ignorance
of
the
Scripture
,
and
thou
bringst
Mark
and
Matthew
;
alas
,
I
know
what
Mark
and
Matthew
wrote
is
true
,
if
thou
hadst
an
ear
to
hear
,
the
ground
of
all
error
is
because
he
is
not
known
,
nor
his
voice
whom
the
Scriptures
bear
record
of
;
and
thou
sayst
we
drive
men
into
darkness
,
that
works
upon
people
to
dis-esteem
the
Scripture
,
and
perswades
people
to
an
uselessness
of
the
Scriptures
;
let
all
that
have
heard
us
in
the
City
of
London
,
or
elsewhere
,
speak
,
if
they
heard
us
say
the
Scriture
was
useless
,
or
did
dis-esteem
it
;
but
on
the
contrary
we
exhorted
them
to
search
if
the
Scripture
did
not
bear
witness
to
those
things
we
declared
,
and
so
let
shame
cover
thy
face
thou
false
Accuser
;
and
thou
bringst
2
Tim.

that
it
is
for
the
perfecting
the
man
of
God
,
and
that
its
profitable
to
correct
and
instruct
;
this
is
owned
,
but
it
s
not
the
man
of
God
thou
wouldst
have
perfected
by
it
,
but
such
Hirelings
as
thy self
hath
been
,
and
false
Accusers
as
thou
art
;
and
I
say
it
is
profitable
to
us
to
reprove
thee
,
and
correct
thee
,
and
read
thy
portion
;
a
Lyars
portion
is
in
the
Lake
,
and
as
Rom.

its
not
denyed
;
but
as
Christ
Jesus
is
witnessed
,
who
is
the
Comforter
,
which
the
Scripture
bears
witness
of
,
there
is
comfort
and
hope
;
and
thou
sayst
,
the
Scripture
proves
the
New
birth
,
and
teacheth
perseverance
to
the
end
;
It
bears
testimony
of
some
that
did
witness
the
New
birth
,
and
that
persevered
unto
the
end
;
but
what
is
this
to
thee
,
that
never
came
one
step
in
the
way
?
and
as
for
promises
,
there
is
no
promise
,
but
condemnation
in
the
Scripture
,
in
such
as
thee
,
and
read
it
,
The
Lyar
and
false
Accusar
,
and
the
Envious
shall
not
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
and
there
own
thy
promise
and
thy
portion
.
2.
Particular
which
thou
callst
a
mistake
,
that
is
speaking
to
a
thing
within
thee
;
I
would
fain
(
sayst
thou
)
know
what
can
be
meant
of
the
thing
within
men
;
for
there
is
nothing
to
be
spoken
to
in
man
,
but
man
.
Answer
.
Here
thy
ignorance
,
shame
and
envy
is
made
manifest
,
that
thou
that
hath
pretended
to
be
a
Minister
,
and
a
Pastor
of
a
Church
,
and
cannot
tell
what
thou
hast
spoke
;
to
what
hast
thou
ministered
,
to
the
Wind
?
or
hast
thou
ministered
to
the
Devil
,
and
preached
glad
tidings
to
him
,
who
is
in
the
transgression
,
and
free
grace
to
him
that
hath
walked
contrary
to
God
?
it
is
so
;
and
therefore
thou
,
and
all
who
are
in
that
nature
,
knows
not
what
you
speak
,
and
therefore
none
hath
been
at
all
profitted
by
your
Ministery
;
and
blessed
be
the
Lord
that
its
hid
from
the
eyes
of
the
Wise
,
and
revealed
to
Babes
:
and
thy
envious
spirit
is
seen
,
that
it
is
of
thy
father
the
Devil
,
who
is
the
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
,
that
would
lay
a
thing
down
as
an
error
,
and
tells
of
dashing
in
peices
our
Principles
,
and
yet
knowst
not
what
they
are
,
nor
what
we
speak
;
dost
thou
accuse
,
and
knowst
not
for
what
,
let
shame
cover
thy
face
,
that
ever
thou
shouldst
put
pen
to
paper
,
or
speak
of
God
or
Christ
,
and
speakest
thou
knowst
not
what
,
and
then
thou
hast
hatched
a
thing
,
and
concludes
there
is
nothing
in
man
to
be
spoken
to
,
but
man
,
and
before
thou
knewst
not
,
and
so
art
in
confusion
;
for
Christ
and
his
Apostles
always
spoke
to
man
,
thou
sayst
the
Apostle
saith
,
he
went
and
ministered
to
the
Spirits
in
prison
,
and
to
open
the
bind
eye
,
and
to
raise
the
dead
,
and
the
dead
should
hear
the
voice
of
the
Son
of
God
and
live
,
and
he
preached
liberty
to
the
captive
,
and
is
given
for
a
Covenant
to
open
the
blind
eyes
,
and
unstop
the
deaf
ears
,
and
make
the
Lame
to
walk
,
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
,
but
not
to
feed
thy
Serpents
wisdom
do
I
speak
,
I
will
shut
thee
out
,
for
into
it
thou
canst
not
enter
,
but
through
death
,
and
death
wrote
the
book
;
and
the
Apostles
were
made
manifest
to
every
mans
Conscience
in
the
sight
of
God
;
and
the
slothfull
servant
had
a
talent
given
to
improve
,
which
was
anothers
,
and
not
his
own
,
and
that
was
required
of
him
,
and
that
will
God
require
of
man
;
and
unto
that
we
speak
which
hears
us
,
and
shall
witness
us
eternally
,
even
that
which
is
not
in
the
transgression
,
neither
is
of
man
,
but
is
given
to
man
to
improve
,
and
yet
is
not
far
from
man
;
but
this
is
a
mystery
,
and
it
shall
be
sealed
;
for
without
a
parable
spoke
he
not
to
such
as
thou
art
,
and
I
know
this
is
a
parable
;
but
in
the
end
thou
sayst
,
thou
knowst
not
how
they
can
speak
to
any
light
in
man
,
distinct
from
him
,
unless
they
speak
unto
Satan
,
or
some
of
his
Legions
:
here
again
thy
shame
and
ignorance
is
made
manifest
,
we
speak
to
the
ear
,
and
the
eye
in
man
,
which
the
god
of
the
World
hath
blinded
,
and
this
is
not
of
man
,
and
yet
is
not
far
from
man
;
but
[
distinct
]
that
is
thy
own
word
,
I
do
not
own
it
:
bring
forth
the
Blind
that
hath
eyes
,
and
the
Deaf
that
hath
ears
;
did
the
Prophets
speak
to
the
Devil
in
man
;
we
speak
to
the
witness
of
God
in
man
,
and
according
to
this
shall
all
be
judged
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
;
oh
thou
Blasphemer
,
dost
thou
call
that
which
may
be
known
of
God
,
which
is
manifest
in
Romans
1.
19
,
20.
dost
thou
call
this
a
Legion
of
Devils
,
even
that
which
declares
the
eternal
Power
and
Godhead
,
but
thou
art
he
that
calls
the
Master
of
the
house
Belzebub
,
and
in
that
nature
thou
art
,
and
the
Lord
will
rebuke
thee
.
3.
Principle
,
That
thou
calls
a
mistake
,
that
is
,
The
denying
the
use
of
Reason
in
the
matters
of
God
,
calling
it
Serpentine
.
Answ.
The
World
by
wisdom
knows
not
God
,
and
all
the
disputing
and
twining
,
and
lavishing
of
the
wisdom
of
man
,
and
that
which
thou
callst
reason
,
it
is
corrupted
,
and
is
shut
out
;
and
who
lives
in
that
nature
are
the
unreasonable
men
that
hath
not
faith
:
now
he
that
hath
not
faith
,
hath
not
reason
,
and
he
that
hath
faith
,
hath
the
Witness
in
himself
;
but
I
see
thee
,
thy
witness
is
without
thee
,
and
so
thou
speaks
unreasonably
;
and
all
that
would
understand
the
mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
,
must
come
through
death
,
for
Light
shines
in
Darkness
,
but
Darkness
cannot
comprehend
it
,
and
therefore
one
cryes
,
lo
here
,
and
another
,
lo
there
,
and
with
that
which
thou
callst
reason
,
is
Scripture
torn
asunder
,
and
it
begets
strife
,
contention
,
endless
disputes
and
striving
for
Mastery
,
which
is
carnal
;
and
all
this
we
deny
:
And
thou
sayst
[
upon
this
ground
they
will
not
do
as
the
Apostles
and
Christ
himself
,
who
disputed
with
the
gainsayers
,
Ioh.
6.
and
Stephen
,
Acts
6.
]
and
thou
bringst
in
some
of
the
Synagogue
of
Libertines
,
and
Syrenians
,
and
Alexandrians
,
and
the
rest
that
disputed
with
Stephen
,
and
they
were
not
able
to
resist
him
:
let
many
hundreds
of
this
City
of
London
,
both
in
publike
,
and
in
private
,
bear
witness
against
thee
,
if
we
have
not
disputed
,
and
have
not
been
ready
to
give
an
answer
to
the
gainsayers
,
though
not
such
a
one
as
they
desired
,
even
as
Christ
our
Master
did
not
answer
the
Iews
in
their
subtil
tempting
of
him
;
and
of
those
Sects
that
encountred
both
Stephen
and
Paul
,
truly
I
must
needs
say
unto
thee
,
we
have
met
with
the
same
Generation
in
this
City
,
whereof
thou
are
one
,
and
truly
more
subtil
then
they
were
,
but
in
the
eternal
Light
you
are
all
seen
,
and
many
though
they
could
not
gainsay
,
yet
have
resisted
us
;
and
after
a
little
,
thou
pleads
not
for
carnal
reason
,
for
this
will
not
suffer
any
to
follow
Christ
:
further
,
then
they
can
carry
their
own
things
,
their
honours
,
pleasures
,
ease
and
lusts
,
to
that
in
thy
Conscience
I
speak
whether
this
doth
not
rule
thee
and
guide
thee
;
it
will
let
thee
see
thou
art
pleading
for
honour
,
and
respecting
mens
persons
,
and
hath
them
in
admiration
,
because
of
advantage
,
and
brings
the
example
of
others
to
prove
and
uphold
thy
deceit
,
which
they
were
neither
commanded
nor
commended
for
to
oppose
the
commands
of
Christ
,
and
the
express
Scripture
:
and
thou
goes
on
further
and
sayst
,
[
God
is
the
Author
of
memory
,
and
wisdom
and
reason
]
but
I
tell
thee
there
is
a
wisdom
and
a
reason
that
God
will
confound
,
for
by
faith
we
know
the
heavens
were
made
,
and
see
them
upholden
,
and
by
faith
all
things
is
brought
to
our
remembrance
,
and
it
is
the
Light
that
convinceth
of
sin
,
even
the
Light
of
Christ
;
and
so
in
the
eternal
Light
I
see
what
thou
pleadst
for
,
for
eating
of
the
tree
of
knowledge
,
and
there
thou
art
,
till
thou
art
become
a
Fool
,
and
dead
to
that
reason
,
thou
shalt
never
eat
of
the
tree
of
Life
,
and
therefore
Flesh
,
be
silent
:
and
thou
sayst
,
thou
dost
not
allow
that
reason
that
gets
only
a
conclusion
,
or
an
argument
instead
of
Christ
;
and
after
thou
sayst
the
day
is
yet
to
dawn
,
and
the
day
Star
to
arise
,
and
thou
cryes
violently
for
it
:
and
here
what
hast
thou
more
for
an
assurance
of
thy
salvation
,
then
an
argument
,
and
a
conclusion
instead
of
Christ
;
for
thou
confesses
the
day
is
not
dawned
,
and
then
thou
are
yet
in
the
night
,
and
in
darkness
,
for
the
day
dawns
,
and
the
day
star
arises
before
Christ
be
witnessed
;
but
thou
knows
no
such
thing
,
as
either
Christ
,
or
the
dawning
,
if
thou
had
not
others
testimony
,
and
that
is
without
;
and
thou
art
one
Christ
spoke
of
,
Since
Iohn
the
Kingdom
suffers
violence
,
and
many
thrust
into
it
;
and
thou
art
striving
,
and
are
violent
;
but
I
say
thou
shalt
not
be
able
till
thou
layst
down
thy
contending
in
thy
carnal
wisdom
,
and
striving
,
and
resisting
;
but
thou
must
become
a
Fool
,
and
sit
at
Jesus
feet
,
but
thou
art
full
,
and
rich
and
whole
,
and
need
no
Physitian
,
and
therefore
thou
must
be
sent
empty
away
,
and
when
the
Book
of
Conscience
shall
be
opened
,
thou
shalt
be
judged
for
what
thou
hast
done
against
the
Innocent
.
Now
something
in
Answer
to
the
Fourth
Particular
,
which
thou
sayest
is
a
Tenent
held
forth
by
the
Northern
people
;
which
is
,
A
denying
of
the
Ascension
and
Beeing
of
the
Body
of
Christ
.
Answ.
O
thou
Enemy
of
Righteousness
,
when
wilt
thou
cease
to
pervert
the
right
Way
of
God
,
who
uttereth
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
against
the
Innocent
;
God
shall
judge
thee
,
and
between
thee
&
us
,
whether
thou
hast
not
uttered
Lyes
and
false
Accusations
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
put
forth
in
Writing
unto
the
World
for
truth
,
that
which
is
absolutely
contrary
unto
the
Truth
;
God
will
reward
thee
,
thou
full
of
subtilty
,
according
to
thy
deeds
,
who
takes
part
with
the
Dragon
against
the
Lamb
,
&
goes
about
by
thy
lying
Slanders
,
to
render
the
Way
of
Truth
(
which
thou
canst
not
comprehend
in
thy
serpents
wisdom
)
odious
unto
all
men
,
but
God
taketh
our
part
against
thee
,
and
will
dash
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
thy
Impudent
Forehead
in
pieces
,
even
by
that
Power
which
makes
the
Earth
to
quake
&
tremble
,
which
is
become
a
reproach
unto
this
Generation
,
many
who
have
heard
us
since
we
came
to
this
City
(
though
our
Enemies
)
shall
witness
against
thee
,
and
for
us
,
in
this
particular
;
for
we
have
oft
witnessed
forth
,
and
I
do
here
again
witness
forth
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
,
that
Christ
Jesus
is
risen
,
and
ascended
far
above
all
Principalities
and
Powers
,
and
the
same
which
descended
into
the
lower
parts
of
the
Earth
,
is
also
ascended
,
and
raigns
over
all
,
subjecting
all
unto
himself
,
that
he
may
be
Lord
over
all
,
and
in
all
,
and
may
be
glorified
by
all
;
and
Members
of
his
Body
we
are
(
who
thou
enviously
raylst
against
)
and
Witnesses
of
the
Body
we
are
whereof
Christ
Jesus
is
Head
;
and
because
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
dead
Body
,
which
is
ascended
,
we
are
called
in
question
,
and
all
Sects
&
Opinions
are
troubled
,
and
on
an
uproar
concerning
us
;
and
I
tell
thee
plainly
,
we
are
so
far
from
denying
the
Ascension
and
Beeing
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
that
because
of
being
called
to
witness
it
,
as
being
Members
of
it
,
we
are
persecuted
and
reviled
by
such
as
thy self
,
whose
carnal
conceptions
and
imaginations
of
Truth
we
do
deny
,
and
do
testifie
unto
you
all
,
that
through
death
is
the
Resurrection
and
Ascension
witnessed
,
and
every
one
that
reads
the
Scripture
is
not
witnesses
of
the
resurrection
of
the
body
of
Christ
;
and
all
whose
witness
is
onely
without
them
,
other
mens
words
,
which
had
the
Witness
within
them
,
we
deny
to
be
true
Witnesses
,
but
are
found
false
Witnesses
of
the
Resurrection
,
and
of
the
Ascension
,
and
knows
not
Christ
,
nor
his
body
but
by
hearsay
;
and
whereas
thou
bringst
many
Scriptures
to
prove
his
Resurrection
and
Ascension
:
I
answer
,
the
Scriptures
we
own
to
be
a
true
Declaration
of
the
Witness
which
was
in
the
Apostles
of
the
Resurrection
and
of
the
Ascension
of
Christ
;
but
thee
we
deny
,
who
are
found
a
Lyar
and
a
Slanderer
,
and
thy
resurrection
will
be
unto
condemnation
,
and
thy
ascension
will
prove
a
descending
into
the
Bottomless-pit
,
for
ever
to
be
tormented
,
except
thou
repent
;
and
from
the
Life
of
the
holy
men
of
God
thou
are
razed
out
,
who
art
found
in
the
way
of
ungodliness
,
and
thou
hast
nothing
to
do
to
profess
their
words
,
who
art
out
of
their
life
,
nor
no
inheritance
in
their
words
,
but
as
thou
steals
them
,
adding
thy
own
imaginations
upon
them
,
and
wresting
them
to
thy
own
destruction
,
being
one
unlearned
in
the
Way
of
God
,
and
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
And
thus
you
see
how
these
men
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
,
if
they
deny
the
Body
that
was
crucified
for
them
.
I
answer
,
We
deny
not
the
Lord
that
bought
us
,
for
by
him
can
we
say
we
have
received
the
end
of
his
coming
,
and
of
his
Death
and
Ascension
,
even
he
hath
purchased
us
,
and
set
us
free
from
the
Power
and
Kingdom
of
the
Divel
,
of
Lyes
,
and
Slanders
,
and
false
Accusations
of
us
,
by
whom
the
Man-child
is
brought
forth
;
and
this
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
,
who
art
a
wandring
Star
,
and
hath
no
habitation
in
the
Heavens
;
God
will
plead
with
thee
,
thou
who
hast
set
thy self
against
the
Lord
,
in
Slandring
and
reviling
his
servants
.
Now
to
thy
fift
Particular
,
That
we
deny
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
in
which
thou
sayest
,
We
also
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
us
.
Answ.
The
Way
unto
God
,
and
unto
Everlasting
Life
,
which
is
Christ
Jesus
,
we
do
not
deny
,
but
are
true
Witnesses
,
that
same
Christ
alone
which
was
crucified
at
Ierusalem
,
and
which
God
hath
raised
from
the
dead
,
and
which
is
ascended
,
in
him
alone
is
Salvation
,
and
by
him
also
alone
are
all
justified
that
believe
in
him
;
and
this
we
declare
freely
unto
all
people
,
that
Christ
is
the
Ordinance
of
God
,
ordained
by
him
,
for
the
Salvation
of
all
that
believe
,
and
for
the
Condemnation
of
all
that
believe
not
in
him
;
and
that
the
Way
unto
this
Christ
,
is
not
any
outward
visible
thing
,
but
even
that
which
is
manifest
from
him
,
leads
up
unto
him
,
even
the
Light
by
which
he
hath
enlightened
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
which
is
Spiritual
,
as
Christ
is
Spiritual
;
and
whereas
thou
sayest
,
there
is
nothing
that
Christ
commanded
,
but
we
deny
it
,
mentioning
only
your
Baptism
,
and
Breaking
of
Bread
,
which
is
your
Idol
,
and
your
Image
you
bow
unto
;
the
one
Baptism
,
which
is
by
one
Spirit
into
one
Body
,
into
the
Death
of
Christ
,
we
are
Witnesses
of
;
and
the
Bread
which
we
break
,
is
the
Communion
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
and
we
being
many
,
are
one
Bread
;
but
the
beggerly
Rudiments
of
the
World
we
testifie
against
,
being
Witnesses
of
the
Substance
,
and
your
taking
on
practices
in
that
nature
which
is
contrary
unto
Christ
,
from
the
Words
and
Commands
of
Christ
,
unto
them
that
followed
him
,
we
also
testifie
against
;
and
in
it
you
are
found
among
the
Papists
,
which
walks
by
Tradition
,
and
not
from
the
Motion
of
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
here
thou
art
found
a
Lyar
;
for
the
Commands
of
Christ
is
our
life
,
our
joy
,
our
peace
and
glory
,
and
hereby
we
know
that
we
love
him
,
because
we
keep
his
Commandments
,
and
they
are
not
grevious
unto
us
(
which
is
not
received
by
tradition
from
without
us
,
but
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
Christ
Jesus
revealed
in
us
,
which
is
not
contrary
to
his
Commands
without
,
but
a
fulfilling
of
them
;
for
he
is
not
a
Iew
who
is
one
outwardly
,
whose
praise
is
of
men
;
neither
is
the
Obedience
which
Christ
doth
require
a
conforming
the
outward
man
unto
an
outward
thing
,
which
Obedience
is
your
boasting
onely
,
and
there
only
your
difference
lieth
from
all
the
World
,
in
the
outward
appearance
,
Pharisee-like
;
but
the
ground
of
enmity
,
and
seat
of
the
Beast
is
standing
within
,
and
you
are
twofold
more
the
children
of
the
Devil
;
and
God
is
risen
to
confound
you
,
and
to
break
your
Image
to
pieces
;
and
he
shall
have
the
praise
of
God
who
is
the
Jew
inward
,
whose
obedience
and
circumcision
is
inward
,
and
who
have
no
confidence
in
the
flesh
:
And
whereas
thou
exhorts
to
hear
one
loving
Reproof
out
of
the
Scripture
,
which
their
Predecessors
(
I
mean
the
Papists
)
thou
sayest
would
have
taken
from
us
in
the
English
Tongue
,
and
these
would
take
from
us
the
vertue
of
it
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
sharpness
and
sweeness
of
it
,
by
working
upon
us
a
dislike
to
it
:
I
Answer
,
we
do
deny
thy
voice
,
and
though
thou
mayst
bring
Scripture
in
thy
mouth
to
us
,
it
is
but
as
the
Devil
brought
it
to
Christ
,
and
we
deny
it
from
thee
;
for
if
thou
sayst
God
lives
thou
swears
falsly
;
and
the
Papists
they
are
thy
Predecessors
,
who
walks
only
by
tradition
as
thou
dost
,
from
a
thing
without
them
,
separate
from
the
Life
,
and
both
them
and
thee
we
do
deny
,
and
bears
witness
against
you
,
to
be
without
God
,
in
the
World
,
in
the
alienation
,
out
of
the
Covenant
,
knowing
nothing
of
him
but
what
you
have
heard
by
a
Fame
and
a
Report
and
that
we
in
the
least
would
take
from
any
the
virtue
of
the
Scripture
;
it
is
a
Lye
uttered
by
the
Devil
in
thee
:
for
we
testifie
unto
all
,
that
it
shall
every
tittle
be
fulfilled
,
even
upon
the
ungodly
,
and
thou
shalt
know
it
one
day
to
be
fulfilled
upon
thee
,
thou
Lyar
must
be
cast
into
the
Lake
that
burns
for
ever
;
and
this
is
the
sharpness
and
sweetness
which
thou
must
have
from
it
,
who
art
a
false
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
,
bearing
the
Image
of
the
Dragon
,
the
Devil
,
whose
servant
thou
art
,
as
it
is
made
manifest
by
thy
Writing
;
and
this
many
will
witness
with
us
,
that
often
we
do
declare
upon
the
just
and
the
unjust
the
Scripture
must
be
fulfilled
,
and
the
righteous
must
have
a
Reward
,
and
the
ungodly
must
have
their
Portion
in
utter
darkness
,
according
as
the
Scripture
saith
;
and
herein
we
establish
the
Scripture
in
its
place
,
to
be
a
true
Declaration
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
what
the
righteous
and
the
wiced
shall
enjoy
;
but
that
it
is
God
and
Christ
,
or
the
Way
unto
Life
,
we
deny
it
;
for
this
is
its
vertue
,
a
declaration
of
that
which
the
Saints
believed
,
and
he
that
witnesses
the
same
Life
and
Truth
which
it
testifies
of
,
to
be
made
manifest
in
him
,
is
a
Witness
of
it
,
and
it
is
a
Witness
unto
him
,
and
this
is
the
vertue
of
it
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayest
hear
,
and
that
we
work
upon
Any
a
dislike
of
the
Scriptures
,
I
charge
thee
to
be
a
Lyar
;
for
to
the
fulfilling
and
establishing
of
it
we
declare
,
that
every
one
may
walk
up
in
the
Life
of
it
,
by
that
which
gave
it
forth
,
and
to
be
a
true
witness
of
it
,
as
they
were
that
spoke
it
;
but
thee
,
and
all
such
we
do
deny
,
which
adds
your
imaginations
upon
it
,
to
sell
for
money
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
by
way
of
Query
to
us
,
[
Hath
the
Scripture
no
power
over
you
?
have
you
a
spirit
to
guide
you
without
a
written
word
;
it
is
out
of
Gods
Government
if
it
cannot
be
brought
to
the
Law
and
to
the
Testimony
?
]
I
answer
,
Jesus
Christ
onely
hath
power
over
us
,
and
not
a
Letter
without
us
;
and
the
Spirit
by
which
we
are
guided
,
is
no
other
but
that
which
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
which
Spirit
is
the
Word
of
God
,
and
which
Spirit
the
Scripture
bears
witness
unto
;
and
this
we
often
say
,
if
we
speak
or
act
contrary
to
Scripture
,
let
us
be
judged
by
the
Scripture
;
and
we
,
as
Paul
did
,
do
commend
all
that
shall
search
the
Scripture
,
to
try
whether
these
things
be
not
so
which
we
declare
;
and
herein
we
are
under
the
Government
of
God
,
who
alone
hath
power
over
us
;
but
you
who
have
not
the
same
spirit
which
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
neither
knows
it
nor
us
;
but
out
of
the
evil
corrupt
ground
thou
judgest
of
it
,
as
thou
dost
of
us
,
and
both
thy
judgment
of
it
and
us
is
to
be
judged
by
the
Eternal
Light
of
Christ
,
which
never
erreth
nor
changeth
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
[
We
may
be
Familiar-spirits
for
ought
thou
knowest
,
what
muttering
and
uncouth
howling
is
among
us
,
which
you
cannot
but
impute
to
be
a
spirit
contrary
to
the
Word
,
if
we
will
not
come
to
the
Word
to
be
tryed
.
]
I
answer
,
it
is
true
,
thou
knowst
us
not
,
for
we
are
unknown
to
thy
Generation
,
(
though
you
have
the
Scripture
,
which
we
in
our
lives
and
practices
,
are
Witnesses
of
)
as
Christ
was
unknown
to
the
Pharisees
,
who
had
the
Scripture
,
which
he
came
to
fulfil
;
and
thou
art
ignorant
of
the
Scripture
,
and
a
Scorner
of
the
Power
of
it
,
who
callst
the
Power
of
the
Lord
uncouth
howling
;
what
would
you
have
said
concerning
David
,
who
lay
roaring
all
the
day
long
even
as
a
man
distracted
?
and
concerning
Habakkuk
,
whose
belly
trembled
,
and
whose
lips
quivered
when
he
heard
the
Voice
of
God
?
But
here
you
are
made
manifest
,
who
scorns
that
which
the
Scripture
bears
witness
of
,
and
never
knew
what
it
was
to
be
pricked
to
the
heart
,
as
they
were
which
cryed
out
,
what
shall
we
do
to
be
saved
?
and
,
if
thou
canst
,
thou
may
try
by
the
Scripture
,
whether
this
be
any
other
but
that
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
,
and
not
the
same
Spirit
which
made
the
Servants
of
God
to
quake
and
tremble
,
which
the
Scriptures
speaks
of
,
which
this
day
is
become
a
reproach
,
even
unto
them
that
profess
the
Scripture
;
for
by
the
Word
of
God
,
which
the
Scripture
declares
of
shall
all
flesh
tremble
and
be
confounded
,
and
then
thy self
shall
be
judged
into
the
Lake
that
burns
for
ever
,
except
thou
repent
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
How
shall
you
do
to
try
spirits
,
if
we
deny
both
the
written
Word
which
is
your
Rule
,
and
Reason
too
;
for
we
appeal
from
both
.
Answ.
Art
thou
not
ashamed
to
say
,
The
Scripture
is
thy
Rule
,
who
art
found
a
Lyar
and
a
false
Accuser
;
thy
Rule
shall
try
thee
,
and
shall
bear
witness
against
thee
,
when
God
judgeth
thee
by
Jesus
Christ
;
for
neither
by
the
Scripture
nor
thy
corrupt
reason
,
canst
thou
know
the
things
of
God
,
who
art
a
natural
man
,
in
the
fall
,
in
the
World
,
without
God
:
But
again
I
say
,
let
any
try
us
,
in
our
lives
and
in
our
practices
,
and
if
we
speak
or
act
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
judge
us
by
it
;
but
thy
eye
is
blinded
,
and
when
thou
feest
the
Scripture
fulfilled
,
even
crying
out
as
a
Woman
in
travel
,
thou
calls
it
uncouth
howling
,
and
a
spirit
contrary
to
the
Scripture
;
and
how
art
thou
able
to
try
who
art
blind
and
deaf
in
the
mystery
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
for
thy
reason
must
never
enter
unto
God
,
but
is
shut
out
,
and
in
seeing
thou
seest
not
,
and
in
hearing
thou
dost
not
understanst
;
and
upon
thee
herein
is
the
Scripture
fulfilled
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
We
will
not
have
Christ
to
rule
over
us
,
for
we
deny
both
his
Person
and
Word
,
which
is
the
Rule
of
Life
and
Love
.
I
answer
,
O
thou
Lyar
,
God
shall
judge
thee
,
let
shame
cover
thee
,
and
let
thy
own
Conscience
convince
thee
of
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
against
the
Innocent
,
Christ
Jesus
is
our
Head
,
and
we
are
of
his
Body
,
and
his
Word
is
sweet
unto
us
,
even
our
life
and
rule
of
life
,
and
by
him
we
see
thee
to
be
an
Enemy
to
him
,
and
from
him
I
judge
thee
;
not
his
Word
,
but
the
spirit
of
the
Devil
is
thy
rule
,
for
he
is
the
Ruler
and
Father
of
Lyes
and
Lyars
,
and
thy
Portion
thou
must
have
with
him
in
the
Lake
;
and
what
thou
sayest
of
us
it
shall
stand
for
thy
own
Condition
,
thou
wilt
not
have
Christ
to
rule
over
thee
,
who
lives
in
thy
lust
and
carnal
mind
without
the
fear
of
God
,
which
Christ
comes
to
destroy
in
all
that
witness
him
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
In
the
Name
of
God
thou
proclaimest
,
That
those
men
that
disown
the
written
Word
,
are
not
Spiritual
men
;
they
may
have
the
Spirit
of
Antichrist
.
Answ.
Thou
hast
nothing
to
proclaim
from
God
,
but
as
the
false
Prophets
had
other
mens
words
;
and
also
I
say
,
if
thou
find
any
that
disown
the
Scripture
,
we
also
disown
such
,
and
do
say
they
are
not
spiritual
men
,
but
have
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
this
number
thou
art
,
guided
by
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
who
art
a
Lyar
and
a
false
Accuser
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
art
without
Faith
,
and
so
art
unreasonable
in
the
corrupt
reason
,
without
pure
and
undefiled
Reason
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
Who
but
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
durst
countermand
the
Commands
of
our
Law-giver
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
?
I
answ
.
The
Commands
of
Christ
are
Spiritual
,
and
in
and
by
the
Spirit
,
and
not
traditional
from
the
Letter
without
,
and
Antichrist
may
conform
to
the
Command
without
,
as
the
Pharisees
did
,
and
yet
be
an
Enemy
to
the
Life
and
Substance
of
his
Commands
;
and
this
is
thy
own
condition
as
it
was
the
Pharisees
,
who
said
,
He
destroyed
the
Law
,
who
came
to
fulfil
it
,
as
thou
sayest
,
We
make
void
and
deny
the
Commands
of
Christ
,
when
as
we
are
Witnesses
of
them
,
and
directs
all
unto
the
fulfilling
of
them
;
and
thy
spirit
here
is
tryed
to
be
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
the
same
which
was
in
them
which
persecuted
Christ
;
and
thou
raylst
and
slanderest
his
Members
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
There
were
never
any
men
appeared
in
the
World
so
like
those
that
Peter
speaketh
of
in
his
second
Epistle
;
and
these
desire
to
overthrow
the
Writings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
.
I
answ.
Peter
spoke
of
such
as
thou
art
,
for
as
a
Cloud
carryed
about
with
a
Tempest
thou
art
,
and
a
Well
without
water
,
and
defilest
the
flesh
,
and
dispisest
the
Saints
dignity
,
and
speakest
great
swelling
words
of
Vanity
,
whilst
thou
thy self
art
a
Servant
of
corruption
,
serving
the
Devil
,
by
lying
and
falsly
accusing
:
and
that
we
desire
to
overthrow
the
Writings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
thou
art
a
Lyar
,
for
we
go
about
to
establish
them
,
and
declares
of
him
who
is
the
Substance
of
them
,
and
God
will
reward
thee
according
to
thy
deeds
:
Who
also
accuseth
us
of
unseemly
Kissing
in
Glasiers-hall
,
thou
sayest
,
if
Mr
Pope
do
not
belye
us
.
I
answer
,
This
is
another
Lye
which
proceeds
from
thee
;
let
all
the
honest
hearted
which
ever
have
frequented
our
Assembly
at
that
Place
testifie
against
thee
,
and
Pope
,
and
your
father
the
Devill
,
whom
by
lying
you
,
serve
,
and
that
no
unseemly
Actions
have
proceeded
from
us
,
but
Sobriety
and
Civility
;
and
unseemly
Actions
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
,
they
are
such
as
thy self
,
who
commits
unseemly
brawling
,
and
folly
,
and
vain
contending
against
the
Truth
in
Glasiers-hall
,
as
many
Honest-hearted
will
witness
against
you
,
and
for
us
who
have
seen
your
base
actions
,
as
Scorning
and
Flouting
in
that
Place
;
and
so
here
you
your selves
are
guilty
of
the
Wontonness
which
Peter
speaks
of
,
and
of
aluring
through
the
lust
of
the
flesh
,
which
thou
slanderously
wouldst
cast
it
upon
us
.
And
thou
further
sayest
,
None
ever
promised
to
themselves
so
much
liberty
as
these
and
the
Ranters
,
in
being
freed
from
the
power
and
tryal
of
the
Word
.
I
answer
,
Both
the
Ranters
and
thee
we
do
absolutely
deny
,
and
testifie
against
you
both
to
be
in
the
enmity
against
God
,
and
against
us
who
are
his
Servants
:
Thou
before
didst
rank
us
with
the
Papists
,
and
now
among
the
Ranters
;
but
herein
the
Scripture
is
fulfilled
upon
us
,
as
they
have
done
unto
Christ
,
so
they
do
unto
us
;
he
was
numbred
among
Transgressors
by
the
Generation
of
painted
Sepulchers
,
and
whited
Walls
,
as
we
are
by
thee
;
and
all
liberty
which
is
of
the
flesh
,
and
to
the
flesh
,
we
do
deny
,
as
many
can
witness
,
who
are
Witnesses
of
our
Ministery
;
and
again
I
say
,
he
that
is
able
,
let
him
try
us
by
the
Scripture
;
but
thou
art
blind
,
and
hath
hardened
thy
heart
against
God
,
and
hath
neither
salt
nor
savory
,
and
so
are
good
for
nothing
but
to
be
trodden
under
foot
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
The
Lord
bless
every
one
of
his
from
the
condition
of
Chandler
,
who
formerly
was
the
head
of
a
Company
of
Shakers
.
I
answer
,
The
day
is
coming
when
thou
canst
not
flee
the
wrath
of
God
,
though
thou
pray
,
God
will
not
hear
thee
;
and
if
ever
thou
hast
seen
Chandler
in
this
condition
,
thou
mightst
have
read
thy
figure
in
him
,
weeping
,
and
howling
,
and
gnashing
of
teeth
will
be
thy
portion
for
ever
;
and
I
say
unto
thee
,
this
condition
of
Chandlers
is
not
come
upon
him
,
because
he
was
once
a
Shaker
,
by
the
dread
of
the
Lord
upon
him
,
but
because
he
went
out
from
that
condition
,
out
of
the
fear
of
God
into
the
liberty
of
the
flesh
,
out
of
his
shaking
and
fearing
state
which
once
he
was
in
,
and
this
he
shall
witness
with
me
to
be
true
,
and
against
thee
,
who
would
reproach
the
Way
of
Truth
by
him
,
when
the
Book
of
Conscience
is
opened
.
And
whereas
thou
further
sayest
,
Their
spirit
will
perswade
them
that
they
are
not
fallen
from
righteousness
,
and
would
therefore
justifie
them
.
I
answer
,
We
are
gathered
up
into
righteousness
,
and
fallen
from
vanity
,
and
this
the
Spirit
of
God
perswadeth
us
,
and
witnesseth
in
us
and
for
us
,
by
which
onely
we
are
justified
freely
,
and
not
by
the
works
of
the
Law
,
nor
by
any
outward
observance
;
and
herein
thou
also
art
a
Lyar
;
who
sayst
,
we
are
fallen
from
righteousness
,
for
even
the
righteousness
of
God
is
manifested
to
us
,
by
which
we
deny
all
your
carnal
outward
observances
,
by
which
you
think
to
obtain
life
and
righteousness
.
Now
in
answer
to
thy
sixth
Particular
,
which
thou
calls
a
heavy
and
sad
offence
,
which
is
a
denying
honour
to
men
,
which
thou
sayst
is
the
example
of
good
men
;
to
which
I
do
answer
:
God
hath
commanded
to
honour
him
alone
,
and
not
to
how
down
to
any
Creature
,
and
thou
hast
brought
many
Scriptures
to
oppose
the
command
of
God
,
and
so
art
more
fully
made
manifest
to
be
an
enemy
unto
him
,
which
would
plead
against
him
,
by
that
which
is
written
from
him
,
pleading
the
example
of
good
men
,
which
is
no
example
to
us
to
break
the
command
of
God
,
no
more
then
Davids
example
in
comming
whoredom
,
and
Iosephs
example
in
swearing
by
the
life
of
Pharoah
,
is
an
example
for
any
to
act
those
things
now
;
and
I
do
utterly
deny
that
any
of
these
Scriptures
,
which
thou
hast
cited
,
will
prove
and
maintain
your
heathenish
custom
,
in
your
deceitfull
way
of
honouring
one
another
,
to
please
the
Devil
in
one
another
,
which
is
without
the
fear
of
God
;
and
it
is
a
sad
offence
to
none
but
the
Devil
,
because
it
weakens
and
disturbs
his
Kingdom
,
of
which
thou
art
,
as
is
made
manifest
,
who
pleads
to
uphold
it
from
the
Scripture
;
but
vain
honour
with
flattering
titles
unto
any
man
,
we
do
deny
;
but
yet
we
honour
all
men
in
the
Lord
,
and
out
of
him
we
honour
none
,
to
uphold
the
pride
of
man
for
God
will
bring
it
all
down
,
and
lay
it
in
the
dust
,
and
exalt
himself
,
to
reign
over
you
all
;
and
whereas
thou
sayst
,
[
how
far
are
these
men
from
the
holy
Writ
:
]
To
which
I
say
and
answer
,
thou
slanderously
wouldst
make
us
to
appear
odious
in
the
sight
of
men
,
but
all
the
upright
in
heart
will
see
thee
,
and
thy
blindness
and
ignorance
,
who
bringst
that
Scripture
where
Christ
(
in
fulfilling
the
Law
of
God
,
which
he
came
to
fulfil
)
worshipped
in
the
Temple
,
to
prove
and
maintain
the
worship
of
man
.
Answ.
O
thou
blind
Pharisee
and
perverter
of
the
Scripture
,
God
will
plague
thee
,
thou
enemy
of
his
truth
;
who
perverts
the
Scripture
,
to
thy
own
destruction
,
and
art
worse
then
the
Pharisees
,
who
said
,
he
respected
no
mans
person
,
and
they
shall
witness
against
thee
;
and
whereas
thou
speaks
of
honouring
Father
and
Mother
,
which
thou
sayest
we
deny
in
this
our
practice
:
I
answer
,
I
charge
thee
to
be
a
Lyar
,
for
,
as
I
said
,
we
honour
all
men
in
the
Lord
,
and
direct
all
Children
and
Servants
,
to
obey
their
Parents
and
Masters
in
the
Lord
;
and
this
many
can
witness
for
us
,
which
have
more
frequented
our
Assemblies
then
thou
hast
done
;
but
this
we
also
testifie
,
where
the
obedience
to
any
man
stands
in
opposition
to
God
,
the
obedience
to
God
is
rather
to
be
chosen
;
and
herein
he
that
will
not
hate
Father
or
Mother
for
Christ
sake
is
not
worthy
of
him
;
but
thou
carnal
earthly
man
art
pleading
for
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
,
to
honour
man
above
God
;
and
I
say
how
can
you
believe
,
that
seeks
honour
one
of
another
?
your
honour
and
your
heathenish
custom
we
testifie
against
,
yet
unto
every
Ordinance
of
man
we
are
subject
for
Conscience
sake
.
Now
to
that
which
you
call
the
seventh
mistake
,
[
affording
absolute
perfection
at
one
Instant
,
in
admitting
of
none
but
perfect
men
into
conjunction
.
]
Answ.
It
is
a
mistake
in
thee
,
for
such
a
word
never
proceeded
from
us
,
I
may
say
it
is
rather
an
absolute
Lye
invented
by
thee
,
to
make
us
odious
,
then
a
mistake
from
us
;
for
thy
heart
is
desperately
wicked
,
and
thy
torment
is
kindling
by
the
Breath
of
the
Almighty
;
many
which
have
heard
us
will
testifie
against
thee
;
for
we
say
the
Saints
have
their
growth
up
into
a
perfect
man
in
Christ
,
as
Christ
himself
had
,
and
we
say
also
,
there
is
children
,
and
young
men
,
and
fathers
,
as
the
Apostle
said
,
but
thou
art
not
ashamed
to
utter
thy
Lies
and
Slanders
,
which
hundreds
in
this
City
will
witness
against
thee
for
a
Lyar
;
and
even
the
light
in
thy
Conscience
will
accuse
thee
to
thy
face
,
that
thou
hast
imagined
lyes
and
mischief
upon
thy
bed
against
us
;
and
whereas
thou
bringst
many
Scriptures
to
prove
thy
slanders
against
us
to
be
true
:
to
which
I
answer
,
all
the
Scriptures
we
own
and
bear
witness
unto
,
by
that
Spirit
from
which
they
were
spoken
;
but
thee
and
thy
spirit
we
deny
,
for
both
you
and
it
is
of
the
Devil
;
and
thou
hast
devillishly
added
thy
imaginations
upon
them
,
and
wrested
them
,
which
I
shall
not
now
mention
,
because
I
do
deny
the
thing
which
thou
assertest
,
for
its
an
absolute
lye
,
and
do
say
unto
thee
,
God
will
reward
thee
thou
slanderous
tongue
:
and
whereas
further
thou
sayest
,
[
in
our
perfection
,
we
deny
any
man
,
being
under
frailty
,
or
capableness
to
sin
,
to
be
of
our
communion
.
]
I
answer
,
here
again
thou
art
a
Lyar
,
these
words
were
never
uttered
by
us
,
as
thou
hast
set
them
down
;
but
I
say
he
that
sins
is
of
the
Devil
,
and
such
we
have
no
unity
withal
,
nor
such
hath
no
unity
with
God
;
for
no
impure
thing
enters
to
him
,
nor
hath
communion
with
him
;
for
whosoever
works
abomination
,
is
to
be
cast
out
,
and
trodden
in
the
winepress
of
his
wrath
,
where
the
portion
of
Lyars
is
,
among
whom
thou
must
receive
thy
reward
;
for
with
such
we
have
no
union
,
who
are
disobedient
children
,
but
with
him
who
in
the
least
measure
which
he
hath
received
from
God
,
walks
up
in
the
Light
unto
God
,
we
have
unity
and
communion
with
him
.
Thou
sayst
one
of
us
told
thee
[
that
which
sinned
could
not
be
saved
.
]
I
answer
,
it
is
out
of
the
reach
of
thy
wisdom
,
and
thy
vulterous
eye
shall
never
see
it
;
I
say
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
The
soul
that
sinneth
must
die
,
and
every
man
must
die
for
his
own
iniquity
,
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
;
and
further
thou
sayest
,
[
that
our
Doctrine
may
appear
to
be
utterly
against
the
Scripture
thou
bringst
,
Rom.
7.
23.
]
where
Paul
was
under
the
Law
,
and
saw
a
Law
in
the
members
warring
against
the
Law
of
the
mind
:
I
answer
,
his
Scripture
we
own
,
and
are
ture
Witnesses
of
it
;
but
there
was
also
a
time
,
that
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
Life
had
freed
him
from
the
Law
of
sin
and
death
;
but
thy
ignorance
is
made
manifest
,
who
bringst
one
Scripture
to
oppose
another
,
and
knowst
not
the
conditions
in
thy self
,
from
which
Paul
spoke
,
and
so
art
ignorant
of
what
he
spoke
;
for
I
say
,
there
is
a
time
without
the
Law
,
and
a
time
under
the
Law
,
and
a
time
dead
to
the
Law
,
and
not
under
it
,
and
all
these
states
Paul
witnessed
,
which
we
also
in
our
measures
are
witnesses
of
,
which
thou
knowst
not
in
thy self
,
and
so
wrests
Pauls
words
;
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
[
Yet
let
not
them
think
that
we
by
this
doctrine
nourish
sin
,
having
brought
many
Scriptures
to
plead
for
sin
;
]
I
answer
,
being
guilty
in
thy self
,
thou
art
afraid
,
and
hath
a
jealousie
lest
we
should
lay
it
to
thy
charge
;
and
truly
concerning
thee
we
think
nothing
in
this
matter
,
for
thy
heart
,
and
the
secrets
of
it
is
made
manifest
in
the
Eternal
Light
,
by
which
thou
are
comprehended
,
and
answered
,
and
by
which
God
will
eternal
judge
thee
;
therefore
repent
lest
the
wrath
of
God
overtake
thee
,
and
thou
be
swept
away
with
the
Beesom
of
destruction
,
who
hath
falsly
accused
and
slandered
us
with
lies
and
false
reproaches
:
but
now
it
s
the
time
that
Pilate
and
Herod
is
made
Friends
,
and
Gog
and
Magog
is
gathered
together
to
compass
the
Camp

the
Saints

the
Priests
and
their
Crew

and
the
Anabaptists

their
Crew

all
Sects
is
combined
against
the
Truth

but
God
is
with
us
,
and
in
him
alone
can
we
rejoyce
over
you
all
for
ever
and
ever
;
and
in
him
make
our
boast
all
the
day
long
,
for
this
is
our
heritage
;
every
tongue
that
riseth
up
in
judgement
against
us

be
condemned

for
the
Lord
is

Quer.
Whether
was
the
Word
made
flesh
,
or
the
Son
of
God
made
of
a
Woman
more
,
or
oftner
,
then
once
?
Answ.
In
this
first
query
thou
hast
manifested
what
thou
art
,
to
all
the
Children
of
Light
,
and
where
thou
art
,
and
what
spirit
thou
art
of
,
a
Reprobate
,
a
child
of
Darkness
thou
art
;
thou
mightest
have
spared
the
other
nineteen
queries
,
for
in
this
query
thy
spirit
is
tryed
,
and
in
the
Eternal
Light
seen
and
known
:
Thou
askest
whether
the
Word
was
made
Flesh
any
more
or
oftner
then
once
,
which
makes
it
plainly
manifest
,
that
thou
knowest
no●●●at
thou
askest
,
and
that
thou
dost
not
know
,
nor
canst
not
witness
the
Word
to
be
made
Flesh
once
,
but
art
one
of
the
Antichrists
and
Deceivers
which
Iohn
speaks
of
,
that
are
entred
into
the
World
,
which
cannot
confess
Jesus
Christ
come
in
the
flesh
;
and
therefore
thou
queries
whether
the
Word
was
made
Flesh
any
more
or
oftner
than
once
,
which
query
comes
from
thy
dark
polluted
mind
,
who
is
out
of
the
Light
,
and
a
Stranger
to
the
Life
,
and
without
God
in
the
world
,
amongst
the
false
Prophets
,
Antichrists
and
Deceivers
which
are
in
the
world
,
and
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
condemns
the
world
,
ye
are
all
seen
known
,
and
made
manifest
,
and
are
turned
away
from
by
these
who
dwell
in
the
Light
,
which
Light
condemns
thee
and
all
thy
Generation
eternally
;
and
the
Word
made
flesh
we
witness
,
which
dwells
amongst
us
,
and
we
behold
his
glory
as
the
glory
of
the
only
begotten
of
the
Father
,
according
to
the
Scripture
;
whereby
we
witness
thee
,
and
all
thy
Generation
,
to
be
in
the
Sorcery
,
and
in
the
Witchcraft
,
deceiving
and
betraying
the
Souls
of
the
Simple
,
the
Light
of
Christ
in
thy
Conscience
will
tell
thee
so
,
for
that
thou
must
be
obedient
to
,
and
witness
before
thou
witness
the
Word
to
be
made
flesh
once
,
for
thou
art
Darkness
it self
;
and
the
Light
in
thy
Conscience
,
if
thou
wouldst
let
it
rise
,
will
be
thy
condemnation
,
and
when
thou
canst
witness
the
Word
to
be
made
flesh
once
,
then
thou
wilt
know
whether
the
Son
of
God
was
made
of
a
Woman
any
more
or
oftner
than
once
:
But
thou
art
the
Dragon
that
wouldst
devour
the
Man-child
which
the
Woman
hath
brought
forth
,
who
shall
rule
all
Nations
with
a
Rod
of
Iron
,
and
her
Child
is
caught
up
to
God
,
and
to
his
Throne
,
and
thou
,
the
Dragon
,
and
thy
Angels
are
cast
out
into
the
Earth
;
and
therefore
dost
thou
persecute
the
Woman
which
hath
brought
forth
the
Man-child
;
but
thou
art
overcome
by
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
the
Word
of
his
Testimony
;
and
for
thy
other
nineteen
queries
,
thou
hast
conjured
them
up
in
thy
black
Art
,
out
of
the
Bottomless-pit
,
which
is
to
be
turned
into
perdition

In

Deut.
Chap.
18.
from
verse
9.
to
15.
there
the
Priests

the
Levites
which
were
ordained
of
God
,
were
to
have
no
Inheritance
among
the
people
,
but
the
Lord
was
their
Inheritance
,
and
they
were
to
have
it
of
that
which
was
offered
up
to
the
Lord
,
and
this
was
a
figure
of
the
everlasting
Priest-hood
which
ministreth
out
of
the
everlasting
Treasure
;
and
the
Lord
God
commanded
Israel
,
not
to
do
as
they
did
when
they
came
into
the
Land
,
nor
to
go
after
their
abominations
,
as
you
may
see
,
but
gave
Israel
their
Land
to
possess
that
did
hearken
unto
such
as
the
Lord
had
not
sent
,
which
was
Abomination
to
him
;
and
the
Lord
said
to
Israel
,
Thou
shalt
be
perfect
with
the
Lord
thy
God
;
and
in
the
15th
verse
,
The
Lord
thy
God
will
raise
unto
thee
a
Prophet
from
the
midst
of
thee
,
of
thy
Brethren
,
like
unto
me
,
unto
him
shall
ye
hearken
;
And
so
to
the
end
of
the
Chapter
;
he
that
hath
an
eye
may
see

and
the
Lord
is
the
same
that
he
was
,
and
he
will
not
suffer
the
abominations
that
are
committed
in
this

Oh

where
are

Try
your

see
if
they
be
not
found
in
the
same
Generation
that
all
the
false
Prophets
and
the

which
the
true

and
in
the

of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
that
Christ
cryed
wo
against

and
see
if
they
be
not
the
Antichrists
and
the
Deceivers
which
are
entred
into
the
World
,
which
Iohn
speaketh

which
cannot
confess
Christ
come
in
the
flesh
,
but
transgresseth
,
and
abideth
not
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
so
hath
not
God
,
neither
knoweth
him
,
but
preacheth
for
sin
,
and
against
Perfection
;
and
denyeth
the
Light
which
enlighteneth
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
&
so
keeps
people
in
blindness
and
ignorance
,
and
out
of
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
never
any
that
follow
them
shall
ever
come
to
the
Knowledg
of
the
true
and
living
God
;
therefore
all
people
see
where
you
are
,
and
mind
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
,
which
is
pure
,
and
which
testifieth
against
sin
,
and
it
will
let
you
see
all
your
Blind-Guides
which
deceive
you
,
to
be
in
sin
,
and
ignorant
of
God
;
for
they
deny
that
which
should
make

manifest
,
therefore
beware
what
you
hold
up
,
and
give
over
going
after
them
;
to
that
in
your
Consciences
I
speak
,
which
shall
witness
me
eternally
to
speak
the
Truth
,
if
you
obey
it
;
and
shall
condemn
you
eternally
,
if
you
disobey
it
.
These
Blinde-Guides
that
are
in
this
Land
,
deny
the
Prophet
which
Moses
wrote
of
,
which
is
the
substance
of
the
Priest-hood
,
which
was
before

and
here
they
are
found
in
the
same
Generation

in
the
Sorcery
and
in
the
Witchcraft

which
the
Lord
commanded
should

and
he
never
delivered
his
Message
unto
it
in
any
Generation
,
but
kept
his
Secret
sealed
up
from
it
:
And
Friend
,
here
I
charge
thee
,
in
the
Presence
of
the
true
spiritual
God
,
that
thou
belyst
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
who
sayest
thy
Epistle
is
from
him
;
thou
uses
thy
tongue
,
and
sayest
,
The
Lord
saith
,
when
,
saith
the
Lord
,
I
have
not
spoken
unto
thee
:
And
of
that
Generation
thou
art
which
Ieremiah
cryed
against
;
and
therefore
let
all
flesh
be
silent
before
the
Lord
,
and
call
not
thy
own
imaginations
his
Word
,
but
thou
who
hast
a
Dream
,
tell
thy
Dream
for
a
Dream
,
and
he
that
hath
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
let
him
speak
it
faithfully
;
and
though
thou
callest
thy self
the
last
Messenger
,
or
Witness
unto
the
true
God
;
yet
I
say
unto
thee
,
verily
the
Lord
hath
a
Witness
which
was
before
thee
,
which
hath
been
slain
in
the
Streets
of
the
great
City
,
which
the
Lord
will
bring
forth
after
thee
,
which
will
bear
true
witness
of
the
true
God
,
and
,
against
thee
;
and
thou
,
who
hast
been
alive
,
shall
be
judged
by
him
who
hath
lain
slain
,
and
he
will
eternally
condemn
thy
Testimony
and
Message
:
Friend
,
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
hath
lightened
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
thou
art
comprehended
,
and
seen
,
thy
beginning
,
thy
time
,
and
thy
end
,
and
with
it
thy
Testimony
and
Message
is
denyed
,
for
thy
Testimony
is
such
,
that
if
thou
swearst
the
Lord
lives
,
thou
swearest
falsly
;
and
further
thou
sayst
,
[
By
inspiration
of
the
holy
Spirit
thou
wast
moved
to
present
this
Epistle
:
]
I
answer
,
the
language
of
the
holy
Spirit
is
like
it self
,
Pure
and
Spiritual
,
but
thy
language
is
carnal
and
sensual
,
and
so
is
thy
spirit
;
the
Saints
which
spake
by
the
inspiration
and
moving
of
the
Spirit
,
cursed
not
that
which
God
had
blessed
,
as
thou
dost
;
neither
did
they
say
the
Elect
were
defiled
,
as
thou
doest
;
neither
did
they
speak
of
God
as
a
carnal
Substance
,
as
thou
dost
,
but
said
that
God
was
a
Spirit
;
and
here
art
thou
a
Witness
against
thy self
,
that
thou
speakest
not
by
the
inspiration
and
moving
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
but
speakest
thy
imaginations
and
lyes
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
:
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
[
In
this
confused
Age
there
hath
appeared
variety
of
spirits
,
pretending
to
be
sent
by
the
everlasting
God
,
yet
they
are
at
war
with
all
their
power
to
overthrow
one
another
,
that
their
own
Opinions
may
bear
rule
.
]
I
Answer
,
Among
the
Many
Pretenders
thou
speakest
of
,
thou
art
one
;
and
it
is
true
,
you
are
at
war
with
all
your
power
endeavouring
to
overthrow
one
another
,
that
your
own
Opinions
may
bear
rule
,
and
though
there
be
among
you
variety
of
Opinions
,
yet
by
one
spirit
you
act
,
for
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
is
but
one
,
and
yet
divided
,
and
it
is
at
war
with
it self
,
and
therefore
it
cannot
stand
;
and
you
cannot
overthrow
one
another
,
but
one
is
appearing
to
overthrow
you
all
,
and
all
your
Opinions
;
for
all
you
Pretenders
are
made
manifest
by
your
fruits
,
and
thereby
men
may
try
you
;
for
nothing
is
to
be
gathered
from
you
but
Opinions
and
airy
Imaginations
,
some
of
you
speaking
of
a
God
and
Christ
a
far
off
to
believe
in
,
others
of
you
speaking
of
a
God
and
of
a
Christ
within
,
and
a
far
off
to
believe
in
;
thus
you
feed
people
by
your
own
imaginations
;
and
some
of
you
pretend
Revelation
,
others
of
you
denying
Revelation
;
and
thus
you
strive
to
set
up
your
own
Opinions
,
but
you
live
all
in
one
nature
,
and
are
of
one
Generation
,
and
he
that
walks
in
the
Light
seeth
you
all
,
and
comprehendeth
you
all
,
and
judgeth
all
your
Opinions
,
and
are
redeemed
out
of
all
your
vain
imaginations
,
into
the
Life
of
God
,
acting
and
speaking
as
the
Spirit
acteth
and
speaketh
,
and
seeketh
to
exalt
Christ
,
and
him
to
bear
rule
,
that
all
Opinions
may
be
by
him
thrown
down
,
and
that
by
him
people
may
be
brought
out
of
a
confused
Age
,
into
the
Land
of
Rest
,
and
Peace
,
and
Righteousness
,
to
serve
the
true
Spiritual
God
in
the
Spirit
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
his
own
Son
:
And
further
,
thou
sayest
[
Some
there
are
that
take
upon
them
to
speak
of
a
God
,
and
of
a
Christ
in
the
invisible
Heavens
,
above
the
Stars
,
but
are
uncapable
to
demonstrate
how
Christ
by
his
spiritual
Word
liveth
in
mens
hearts
,
and
how
he
reigneth
visibly
in
glory
with
his
Elect
Angels
.
]
I
Answer
,
there
are
not
some
,
but
many
,
which
lives
in
,
and
speaks
forth
their
own
imaginations
,
upon
God
and
Christ
,
and
one
of
them
thou
art
,
thy
spirit
is
tryed
;
God
who
is
a
Spirit
,
dwells
in
the
Spirit
of
his
Son
,
even
in
the
high
and
holy
Place
,
and
with
him
also
who
is
of
a
contrite
Spirit
,
and
trembleth
at
his
Word
,
but
this
by
thy
vulterous
eye
is
not
seen
,
neither
can
any
demonstrate
how
Christ
dwells
in
the
heart
,
but
he
who
witnesseth
it
through
death
,
and
where
he
reigns
,
his
Glory
is
with
him
and
his
Elect
Angels
;
this
I
witness
,
but
to
thy
carnal
eye
it
is
invisible
,
and
by
thy
carnal
wisdom
he
can
never
be
known
,
Christ
and
his
spiritual
Word
is
not
to
be
divided
,
though
thy
sensual
spirit
would
divide
them
,
but
by
the
Flaming
Sword
thou
that
speakest
art
divided
from
both
,
and
shalt
know
neither
,
but
to
thy
condemnation
:
And
further
thou
sayest
[
Others
there
are
which
speak
of
an
eternal
Spirit
,
or
Christ
only
in
the
Consciences
of
men
,
as
if
there
were
no
Creator
or
Christ
at
all
,
visibly
reigning
upon
his
Throne
of
immortal
Glory
.
]
I
answer
,
they
who
talk
of
an
eternal
Spirit
,
or
Christ
in
the
Conscience
by
hearsay
,
or
of
other
mens
words
,
without
(
as
thou
dost
)
and
doth
not
in
Life
and
Power
witness
it
,
from
the
Father
within
,
made
manifest
,
such
are
denyed
by
them
who
witness
the
eternal
Spirit
dwelling
with
the
contrite
heart
,
which
Spirit
is
the
Creator
which
dwells
also
in
the
high
and
holy
Place
,
and
reigns
upon
his
Throne
for
ever
;
and
who
do
in
Power
witness
this
,
sees
and
judges
all
your
carnal
imaginations
,
and
conceptions
of
the
living
God
in
your
carnal
minds
;
where
he
dwells
shall
no
unclean
thing
enter
,
but
is
without
to
be
troden
in
the
Wine-Press
of
his
Wrath
for
ever
and
ever
;
and
by
him
shall
thy
carnal
conceptions
be
consumed
,
even
by
the
Breath
of
his
Mouth
,
for
he
is
Eternal
,
and
his
Throne
is
Eternal
,
and
by
the
carnal
eye
shall
never
be
seen
:
And
further
thou
sayst
,
[
There
are
some
(
who
through
unbelief
that
ever
any
living
Creature
had
a
beginning
)
do
affirm
there
is
no
God
or
Christ
at
all
,
but
perishing
nature
;
this
sort
are
innumerable
,
witness
the
lives
and
conversations
of
people
every
where
.
]
I
answer
,
All
who
do
witness
the
Eternal
Spirit
made
manifest
,
to
rule
and
guide
;
all
such
do
deny
and
declare
against
such
Opinions
;
for
nothing
was
without
beginning
but
the
Eternal
Word
,
which
was
the
beginning
of
all
things
,
and
will
be
the
end
of
all
things
;
even
the
destruction
of
the
wicked
,
and
the
Salvation
of
them
that
believe
,
who
are
born
of
the
immortall
Seed
,
and
redeemed
out
of
the
perishing
nature
into
the
image
of
God
,
and
such
do
set
to
their
seal
there
is
a
God
,
who
will
reward
every
one
according
to
their
works
,
and
bears
witness
against
them
,
who
in
their
lives
and
conversations
denies
God
,
as
all
do
who
do
not
witness
the
eternall
Spirit
of
Christ
ruling
in
the
Conscience
,
but
talkes
of
a
God
in
imagination
at
a
distance
,
and
such
are
innumerable
,
and
sayes
in
their
hearts
,
there
is
no
God
,
and
such
are
the
fools
the
Scripture
speaks
of
;
and
whereas
thou
beseeches
to
consider
of
these
ensuing
particulars
;
I
answer
,
They
are
considered
,
and
by
them
thy
ignorance
is
made
manifest
,
and
thy
folly
disclosed
,
and
thy
blasphemy
,
who
calls
thy self
the
last
Witness
.
1
Quer.
In
thy
first
particular
thou
queriest
,
Whether
these
men
were
sent
forth
by
the
eternall
Spirit
to
preach
,
which
in
the
least
cannot
demonstrate
what
the
onely
true
God
is
in
himself
,
and
how
he
is
a
distinct
Beeing
from
all
living
Creatures
,
and
how
he
reigns
in
the
Elect
by
a
created
Word
,
Voice
or
spirituall
Motion
onely
.
Answ.
Those
men
were
not
sent
forth
by
the
eternall
Spirit
to
preach
,
who
have
not
received
it
,
and
such
know
not
God
,
what
he
is
,
nor
where
he
is
,
but
in
their
imaginations
imagine
him
to
be
like
a
creature
,
by
being
in
a
creaturely
Place
or
Habitation
,
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
he
is
not
distinct
from
living
creatures
,
for
in
him
living
creatures
lives
,
moves
,
and
have
their
beings
,
and
he
is
not
far
from
them
,
nor
distinct
from
them
,
as
he
spake
who
was
sent
by
the
eternall
Spirit
to
preach
,
he
reigns
in
the
Elect
not
by
a
created
word
,
voice
,
or
a
created
spirituall
motion
,
for
the
Word
which
lives
in
the
Elect
,
from
which
voice
and
motion
proceeds
,
is
not
created
,
but
is
uncreated
,
even
as
God
is
uncreated
,
for
God
is
that
Word
,
and
here
thy
ignorance
appears
,
by
calling
the
Word
which
lives
in
the
Elect
a
created
word
,
or
voice
,
or
motions
;
and
here
be
a
witness
against
thy self
that
thou
speakst
from
darkness
,
and
not
from
Light
,
which
darkness
cannot
comprehend
the
shining
of
the
Light
;
and
this
discovers
thee
more
to
be
a
false
Witness
,
and
not
the
true
Witness
of
God
,
and
therefore
thy
Portion
must
be
the
Portion
of
false
witnesses
;
read
what
it
is

2.
In
thy
second
particular
thou
queriest
,
Is
not
this
an
infallible
demonstration
to
men
,
that
a
man
is
sent
forth
by
the
eternall
Spirit
,
if
he
have
received
a
gift
from
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
demonstrate
what
the
true
Creator
was
in
his
own
distinct
Essence
,
Nature
and
glory
,
from
all
eternity
,
in
time
,
and
to
all
eternity
,
and
wherein
Elect
men
and
Angels
differ
in
their
natures
,
and
glory
,
distinct
from
their
Creator
in
their
Persons
.
Answ.
He
that
hath
not
received
a
gift
from
the
Holy
Ghost
in
some
measure
,
is
not
sent
forth
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
or
God
of
all
Truth
,
this
is
infallible
;
and
such
knowes
not
what
the
Creator
is
,
but
by
imagination
,
and
carnall
conceptions
of
him
;
and
such
in
the
Light
of
Christ
is
seen
,
and
by
it
judged
;
and
among
such
thou
art
,
to
that
in
thy
Conscience
I
speak
,
which
will
witness
me
,
he
that
hath
received
the
Holy
Ghost
,
turneth
people
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
power
of
God
,
and
knoweth
the
Creator
,
and
the
dwelling
of
him
in
the
heart
;
for
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
The
Word
is
nigh
,
but
let
all
flesh
be
silent
,
he
who
is
in
time
,
knowes
not
him
which
was
before
time
,
and
shall
be
when
time
shall
be
no
more
;
he
who
knows
the
Creator
which
inhabiteth
Eternity
,
is
redeemed
out
of
time
,
into
the
Habitation
of
the
Almighty
;
but
this
to
thy
dark
minde
and
spirit
is
unknown
;
if
ever
thou
knowest
it
,
it
must
be
through
death
,
the
nature
and
glory
of
the
Elect
differs
not
from
the
Nature
and
glory
of
the
Creator
,
for
the
Elect
are
one
with
the
Creator
,
in
his
nature
,
enjoying
his
glory
,
which
was
from
eternity
unto
eternity
,
he
that
reads
let
him
understand
,
thy
word
[
distinct
Essence
,
]
I
deny
,
for
the
Elect
is
not
distinct
from
the
Creator
,
but
lives
by
the
dwelling
of
the
Son
in
him
,
and
with
the
Son
the
Father
dwells
also
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
,
thou
mayest
hear
.
3
Quer.
In
thy
third
particular
thou
queriest
,
What
that
Angelical
Serpent
was
in
his
creation
,
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
,
and
how
he
came
to
be
cast
out
of
his
glory
;
and
how
he
overcame
innocent
Eve
,
and
how
he
entered
into
her
womb
,
and
changed
her
pure
Seed
into
his
nature
of
unclean
reason
?
And
thou
askest
,
What
think
you
,
Was
not
that
man
Cain
the
first
murdering
lying
Devil
that
ever
was
?
And
is
there
any
Devil
but
proud
,
vain-glorious
,
unmercifull
men
and
women
?
Ans.
That
same
which
speaks
in
thee
is
that
same
servent
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
,
and
if
thou
hast
the
spirit
of
Moses
,
thou
knowest
what
he
was
in
the
Creation
;
for
Moses
saw
his
Creation
by
that
Spirit
which
was
before
he
was
;
and
if
thou
knowest
his
creation
in
thy self
,
then
thou
mayst
know
him
without
thee
;
but
yet
he
lies
under
his
vail
deceiving
thee
,
and
is
not
deceived
by
thee
;
and
by
the
same
which
thou
lives
in
,
he
was
cast
out
of
his
glory
,
even
disobedience
;
and
he
over
came
innocent
Eve
even
as
he
overcomes
thee
,
by
promising
what
he
fulfilled
nor
,
and
by
presenting
that
which
was
visible
,
and
so
her
minde
was
led
out
,
as
thine
is
,
and
by
her
consenting
,
he
entered
and
got
power
,
and
set
up
his
habitation
,
which
is
now
standing
in
thee
,
and
so
she
became
the
likeness
of
himself
,
her
minde
and
lust
strayed
into
the
visibles
,
out
from
the
Creator
who
is
invisible
,
and
spirituall
,
and
she
now
lives
under
the
curse
,
and
brings
forth
cursed
children
,
such
as
thou
art
who
puts
forth
these
queries
;
and
this
child
was
begotten
by
him
who
deceived
her
,
and
he
is
the
Father
and
Prince
of
all
you
who
are
Wells
without
water
,
Clouds
without
rain
,
and
wandering
Stars
,
having
no
habitations
in
the
Heavens
,
the
blackness
of
darkness
is
reserved
unto
you
for
ever
,
ye
who

was

the

Thou

What
condition
Adam
was
formed

how
he
came

fall

sin
it
was

(
Adam

whereby

Answ.
Adam
was
created
in
the
image
of
God
,
and
God
breathed
into
him
the
breath
of
life
,
and
he
became
a

Soul

but
eating
of
the
tree
of
the
knowledge
of
good
and
evil
;
therein
he
turned
from
the
Command
of
God
and
did
dye
;
if
thou
hast
an

thou
mayest

,
and
thou
that
queriest
hast
eaten
of
that
Tree
;
and
thou
shalt
never
know
in
what
condition
he
was
created
in
,
but
through
the
death
:
for
a
sword
is
set
at
Edens
gate
to
keep
the
Tree
of
life
,
which
will
cut
thee
down
,
before
ever
thou
knowest
,
or
canst
witness
his
estate
:
and
as
for
the
Elect
being
defiled
,
here
thou
makest
thy self
manifest
,
that
thou
never
knewest
what
the
Elect
was
,
for
the
Elect
is
born
of
God
,
and
he
that
is
born
of
God
sins
not
;
and
the
promises
of
God
are
to
the
Elect
,
and
election
obtains
it
,
and
the
Elect
was
never
defiled
:
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayest
hear
;
that
which
is
defiled
shall
not
enter
into
the
holy
City
;
and
here
thou
hast
manifested
thy

Reprobate
thou
speakst

which
is
ordained
of
old
for
condemnation
,
which
is

Transgressor

who

It

thou
layst

be
a
sign
of
them
that
have
no
Commission

and
not

the

because
they
exhort
them
to
cleave
close

the
Word
of
God
,
and
to
mind
the
Light
which
shines
into
the
Conscience
of
every
man
,
which
is
the
Light

;
here
thy
Spirit
is
tryed

that
thou
hast
not
the
same
commission
as
they
had
,
who
spoke
forth
the
Scripture
,
and
so
thou
preachest
another
Gospel
;
for
the
Word
of
God
endures
for
ever
,
and
by
the
Word
which
is
eternall
,
and
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
which
tryes
all
things
,
which
searches
all
things
,
comprehends
all
things
,
and
judges
all

,
he
that
cleaves
not

builds
upon
another
foundation
;
and
by
the
Word
which
endures
for
ever
,
thou
art
seen

not
to
have
that
Word
,
neither
knowest
what
,
nor
where
it
is
,
neither
hast
cleaved
to
it
,
and
so
art
ra●ed
out
from
the
Life
,
and
from
the
Foundation
;
and
the
Apostle
who
had
his
Commission
not
from
man
,
nor
by
man
,
he
exhorted
those
he
preached
and
wrote
to
,
to
take
heed
to
the
sure
Word
of
Prophesie
,
as
unto
a
Light
that
shined
in
a
dark
place
,
and
to
wait
in
it
,
till
the
Day
did
dawn
,
and
the
Day
Star
did
arise
;
and
for
distinguishing
of
that
in
the
Conscience
what
it
is
,
he
that
is
not
separate
from
the
darkness
knows
not
how
to
do
it

But
this
I
say
unto
thee
,
as
we
declare
unto
all
,
the
Light
which
shines
into
the
Conscience
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
he
hath
enlightned
every
one
withal
,
and
it
is
spiritual
,
like
himself
,
and
eternal
,
and
it
leads
out
of
sin
,
and
declares
against
all
iniquity
,
and
he
that
comes
to
own
it
,
and
to
be
guided
by
it
,
it
leads
out
of
sin
to
know
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
which
is
a
Mystery
to
thee
,
and
it
leads
to
the
eternal
Word
,
which
was
in
the
beginning
before
sin
was
,
and
it
will
judge
all
thy
imaginations
and
vain
conceivings
,
and
it
leads
to
the
Inheritance
incorruptible
,
out
of
corruptible

if
thou
hast
an
ear
to

,
thou
mayst

it
is
that
which
will
let
thee
see
thy
vain
frothy
imaginations
,
which
thou
hast
of
God
,
and
will
condemn
all
thy
vain
imaginations
;
and
hating
it
,
it
will
be
thy
condemnation
,
and
there
is
the
issue
of
it
;
and
all
such
as
steals
other
mens
words
,
and
the
true
Prophets
words
,
and
never
knew
the
life
that
was
in
them
,
all
such
we
deny
,
and
shut
them
up
within
utter
darkness
,
where
they
,
and
thou
art
;
and
for
the
glorious
things
that
thou
and
thy

speaks
of

which
call
your selves
the
two
last

it

manifest
that
your
mysteries
are
as
in

and
thy
queries

where
thou
putst
Elect

Reprobate
together

as
for
tryall
of
spirits
,
we
give
liberty
,
and
exhort
all
that
may
to
try
,
and
we
direct
them
to
that
to
try
by
,
which
is
infallible
and
eternall
,
whereby
they
may
see
and
comprehend
thee
and
all
who
have
not
the
Spirit

But
that
they
should
try

who
have
nothing
to
try

let
all
such
be
silent
for

for
none

but
the
Spirit
with
which
we
see
thee

and
all

to
judge
and
discern
,
and
in
that
thou
art
seen
,
who
wouldst
sit
on
the
throne
,
but
thou
must
come
down
and
lick
the
dust
,
dust
is
the
Serpents
meat
,
and
they
who
had
their
Commission
from
God
,
and
have
their
Commission
from
God
now
,
they
were
made
manifest
to
every
mans
Conscience
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
this
we
witness
,
this
the
Scripture
witnesseth
,
and
he
that
believes
hath
the
witness
in
himself
,
and
the
father
bears
witness
,
and
they
witness
the
voice
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
spiritual
,
speaking
to
them
,
and
they
declare
from
that
which
is
spiritual
to
the
Consciences
of
Gainsayers
,
and
this
is
witnessed
;
but
thy
voice
of
words
is
carnal
,
and
is
denyed
;
and
who
art
thou
made
manifest
unto
?
that
which
is
mortal
cannot
discern
and
disprove
thee
,
but
that
which
is
immortal
can
,
and
they
who
are
guided
by
the
immortal
denies
thee
,
and
will
receive
none
of
thy
Testimony
,
because
it
is
not
the
same
which
the
holy
men
of
God
witnessed
,
and
doth
now
witness
,
which
voice
shakes
the
Wilderness
,
and
rents
the
Rocks
,
and
makes
the
Earth
to
reel
to
and
fro
;
but
to
thee
this
is
a
mystery
,
and
sealed
.

Again
he
that
speaketh
of
an
invisible
spiritual
God
,
or
Christ
living
in
the
Consciences
or
Spirits
of
men
,
thou
sayst
,
He
questions
the
truth
of
all
the
Scripture
records
concerning
the
Life
,
Death
,
and
Resurrection
,
and
Ascension
of
the
blessed
Body
of
Christ
into
the
Throne
of
his
Immortal
Glory
:
And
doth
he
not
question
,
Whether
the
Consciences
of
the
Saints
being
sprinkled
with
the
Blood
of
Iesus
,
which
dyed
without
the
Gates
of
Jerusalem
,
are
purified
from
the
pollutions
of
the
Flesh
and
Spirit
;
doth
he
not
question
the
Resurrection
of
the
Souls
and
Bodies
out
of
the
Earth
at
the
last
Day
?
Answ.
Here
again
,
thou
hast
made
thy
shame
and
ignorance
manifest
,
and
knows
not
so
much
as
the
Letter
of
the
Scripture
;
Paul
an
Apostle
of
Jesus
Christ
,
not
by
the
will
of
man
,
and
a
Minister
of
the
Everlasting
God
,
he
witnessed
the
Son
of
God
revealed
in
him
;
and
he
said
,
Know
ye
not
that
Christ
is
in
you
,
or
else
you
are
Reprobates
;
And
Christ
is
not
divided
;
And
he
that
is
joyned
to
the
Lord
is
on●
Spirit
;
And
I
and
my
Father
are
one
;
And
where
Christ
dwells
the
Father
dwells
;
And
if
thou
hast
an
ear
to
hear
thou
mayst
●ear
,
and
if
the
same
Spirit
be
not
in
you
that
raised
Christ
from
the
dead
,
you
are
none
of
his
;
and
he
that
declared
these
things
spake
of
a
spiritual
Christ
,
and
an
invisible
God
;
and
who
shall
ascend
up
to
Heaven
,
the
word
is
nigh
,
in
thy
mouth
and
in
thy
heart
,
and
this
is
the
same
Christ
that
suffered
without
the
Gate
at
Ierusalem
,
and
no
other
which
Paul
travelled
till
he
was
born
in
them
,
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
;
and
the
Apostle
did
not
question
the
Scripture
records
,
for
they
spoke
it
,
and
recorded
it
,
and
they
witnessed
the
Life
of
Christ
,
and
his
Death
,
and
Resurrection
,
and
Ascension
,
and
they
witnessed
him
ascended
above
Thrones
and
Dominions
,
and
to
sit
at
the
right-hand
of
the
Father
;
and
we
witness
the
same
Christ
made
manifest
in
us
,
and
his
Resurrection
,
not
because
Paul
said
so
,
but
we
have
seen
it
,
and
are
Witnesses
of
it
;
the
same
that
ever
was
,
the
same
that
did
Ascend
,
the
same
did
ascend
;
this
is
a
riddle
unto
thee
,
and
seven
seals
is
upon
it
,
and
thou
that
queriest
shall
never
see
them
opened
;
and
they
who
had
Christ
in
them
,
and
the
Father
,
and
the
Son
supping
with
them
,
they
had
their
Consciences
sprinkled
,
and
none
else
;
for
his
blood
thou
knowst
not
;
and
so
I
say
unto
thee
,
thou
art
not
sprinkled
,
nor
thy
Conscience
purified
from
dead
works
,
and
they
who
know
Christ
in
them
,
and
no
more
after
the
flesh
come
to
know
his
Resurrection
,
he
is
the
resurrection
,
he
is
the
first
and
the
last
,
who
knows
him
risen
,
and
have
seen
him
witness
the
first
day
and
the
last
;
what
speaks
thou
of
a
last
day
,
that
never
came
to
the
beginning
,
and
so
thy
soul
lies
in
death
,
and
in
chains
,
and
in
utter
darkness
;
and
therefore
lay
thy
hand
upon
thy
mouth
,
and
see
where
thou
art
,
and
the
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
thou
canst
not
witness
.

If
after
death
there
is
no
bodily
Resurrection
for
the
Spirits
of
men
to
possess
an
immortal
Glory
to
eternity
,
or
to
suffer
an
eternal
Devil-like
shame
,
according
to
their
deeds
,
whether
good
or
evil
;
Is
it
not
one
of
the
vainest
things
in
the
World
to
discourse
of
God
,
and
Righteousness
,
unless
it
be
for
earthly
Gain
amongst

Answ.
There
is
a
Resurrection
both
of
the
just
and
of
the
unjust
,
the
just
into
everlasting
life
,
and
the
unjust
into
everlasting
shame
and
contempt
,
and
every
one
shall
receive
according
to
his
works
,
whether
they
be
good
or
evil
;
but
this
is
a
mystery
hid
,
for
none
knowes
it
,
but
through
death
;
but
what
knowest
thou
who
art
yet
alive
in
sin
,
what
shall
be
in
the
resurrection
which
is
after
death
?
which
whoever
comes
to
know
the
resurrection
,
knowes
the
end
of
all
things
;
therefore
it
is
not
taking
their
words
,
nor
thy
own
imaginations
,
that
is
Faith
,
nor
if
thou
know
Christ
no
nearer
than
Ierusalem
,
nor
no
nearer
than
above
the
stars
,
thou
knowst
not
where
,
but
through
thy
dark
imaginations
,
this
is
not
to
know
Christ
risen
from
the
dead
;
see
therefore
what
hast
thou
seen
in
thy self
:
But
thou
art
dead
while
thou
livest
in
that
nature
,
and
at
the
resurrection
contempt
and
shame
will
be
thy
portion
;
and
turn
in
●hy
minde
to
that
which
shews
thee
sin
,
and
witness
the
body
and
sin
destroyed
within
,
and
then
,
and
not
till
then
,
shalt
thou
know
how
it
is
in
the
resurrection

Thou
raises
a
question
from
Pauls
words
to
the
Athenians
,
and
didst
before
condemn
them
that
stole
other
mens
words
,
and
here
thou
hast
stolen
a
Query
;
and
thou
askestwhat
think
you

did
that
spiritual
Creator
dwell
and
sive
in
the
Athenians
Consciences
?
or
did
his
glorious
person
visibly
appear
in
the

Answ.
The
Athenians
to
whom
Paul
spoke
worshipped
the
work
of
their
own
hands
,
as
this
Generation
doth
their
own
imaginations
,
and
that
God
whom
ignorantly
they
worshipped
at
a
distance
,
which
God
lived
in
Paul's
Conscience
,
Paul
declared
unto
them
;
and
they
looked
,
as
thou
dost
carnally
,
thinking
God
to
be
carnal
,
and
at
a
distance
;
but
he
said
,
he
was
not
at
a
distance
from
every
one
of
them
,
for
in
him
they
lived
,
moved
,
and
had
their
being
;
and
this
was
the
God
which
Paul
preached
of
,
which
Creator
,
we
witness
,
lives
in
the
high
and
holy
place
,
and
with
him
also
that
is
of
a
humble
and
a
contrite
spirit

trembleth

thou

the

art
void
of
the

by
thy
corrupt
reason

which
shall
never

God

worships
an

which

inhabiteth

a

Choice

I
Have
met
with
a
Book
called
,
Choice
experiences
,
given
forth
by
one
J.
Turner
,
who
by
Iohn
Spilsbery
in
his
Epistle
,
is
called
,
a
Daughter
of
Syon
;
and
her self
declareth
in
the
109.
pag.
of
her
Book
,
of
being
brought
out
of
Babylon
into
Syon
,
but
all
along
through
her
Book
,
he●
language
is
one
and
the
same
,
before
her
comming
out
of
Babylon
,
and
in
Syon
(
as
she
saith
)
her
language
is
the
language
of
Babylon
wholly
;
and
she
is
yet
a
servant
in
bondage
in
Babylon
unto
the
Mistress
of
Witchcraft
,
and
never
came
to
witnes●
freedom
in
Syon
;
for
I
know
her
voyce
,
it
s
the
language
of
her
City
where
she
now
dwells
,
which
is
in
confusion
in
Babylon
.
And
whereas
she
declares
of
some
particulars
which
she
calls
Dec●its
,
whereby
she
was
deceived
,
in
the
109.
pag.
in
that
which
she
calls
,
the
fifth
note
of
experience
,
concerning
notions
and
pretended
spiritualities
in
which
Satan
transforms
hi●self
into
an
Angel
of
light
,
and
how
the
Lord
was
pleased
to
recover
her
out
of
deceit
.
I
answer
,
It
is
plain
to
the
spiritual
man
which
discerns
of
truth
and
deceit
,
that
she
is
yet
deceived
and
unrecovered
out
of
deceit
;
and
here
I
charge
her
that
she
belyes
the
Lord
,
for
he
hath
not
recovered
her
out
of
deceit
;
for
she
hath
resisted
him
in
that
work
,
as
is
made
appear
in
her
Book
;
and
she
is
now
in
notion
,
and
not
in
power
,
and
in
pretended
spiritualities
,
and
not
really
in
the
Spirit
;
and
Satan
is
now
transformed
in
her
into
an
Angel
of
light
,
by
which
she
is
deceived
;
and
whereas
she
talkes
of
her
choice
experien●es
,
death
yet
raigns
in
her
,
and
is
no
whit
subdued
;
I
speak
as
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
who
am
moved
to
lay
open
her
deceit
to
the
simple
,
who
doth
blaspheme
the
God
of
Heaven
in
his
Saints
,
in
calling
Truth
error
,
and
calling
that
deceit
,
which
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
I
own
to
be
truth
,
and
calls
those
corrupt
Principles
,
which
were
owned
by
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
in
former
Generations
,
and
which
are
owned
now
by
them
which
witness
the
same
Spirit
,
which
Spirit
of
Christ
she
makes
appear
,
she
knows
not
,
who
hath
denied
him
,
and
salvation
by
him
,
within
.
Whereas
she
speaks
of
Satan
envying
her
happiness
,
and
waits
his
opportunity
to
catch
her
,
as
a
Fish
in
the
Water
,
covering
his
book
,
with
a
baite
of
Mystery
and
spirituality
.
I
answer
.
She
is
yet
in
the
power
of
Satan
,
he
hath
already
catched
her
with
his
covered
hook
,
which
is
covered
with
a
very
fair
out
side
,
a
fair
Form
of
Truth
,
a
likeness
of
it
,
with
the
likeness
of
a
Church
,
and
of
a
Baptism
,
and
of
a
Fellowship
,
&c.
is
she
beguiled
already
,
and
is
unhappy
through
the
opportunities
which
the
Devil
hath
waited
over
her
;
for
she
it
under
the
curse
,
lying
in
the
fall
and
enmity
.
And
whereas
she
speaks
,
Of
having
escaped
him
in
his
former
appearances
as
a
Devil
yet
now
transforms
himself
as
an
Angel
of
light
.
I
answer
.
She
hath
not
escaped
him
,
as
a
Devil
;
and
here
she
is
a
Lyar
,
for
his
appearance
is
in
her
,
in
lying
and
in
speaking
evil
of
those
things
she
knows
not
;
and
he
is
transformed
in
her
as
an
Angel
of
light
,
but
she
knows
it
not
;
but
lyes
in
darkness
,
in
the
mystery
of
iniquity
,
in
notion
,
and
the
pretence
of
spirituality
.
And
she
saith
,
Those
that
are
so
deceived
are
the
fittest
Agents
to
promote
his
Kingdom
.
I
answer
,
Here
it
is
made
manifest
,
she
,
who
is
deceived
,
by
the
Devil
,
doth
much
promote
his
Kingdom
,
by
strengthening
the
hands
of
evil
doers
,
who
through
her
writing
hardens
their
hearts
against
the
truth
.
Whereas
she
speaks
,
Of
Satans
drawing
persons
by
corrupt
principles
,
which
they
would
have
trembled
at
the
thought
of
,
before
they
had
such
principles
.
I
answer
.
This
is
her
own
condition
,
she
is
drawn
by
Satan
,
to
follow
corrup●
principles
,
which
,
if
she
did
see
,
she
would
tremble
at
the
sight
of
them
.
And
she
saith
,
God
was
not
onely
pleased
to
keep
her
from
such
things
,
but
to
discover
the
way
by
which
persons
are
brought
to
such
things
.
I
answer
,
Here
again
I
charge
her
that
s●e
belies
the
Lord
(
which
is
Blasphemy
)
for
he
hath
not
kept
her
from
corrupt
Principles
;
he
would
,
but
she
hath
resisted
him
;
and
the
discovery
from
God
to
her
,
will
be
plagues
and
wo
;
for
death
and
darkness
raigns
,
which
makes
manifest
themselves
in
her
,
which
is
her
discovery
.
She
speaks
,
of
avoiding
those
ways
,
and
forewarning
others
to
avoid
them
likewise
.
I
answer
,
She
hath
not
avoyded
the
wayes
of
darkness
,
but
hath
chosen
them
,
and
hath
avoyded
the
way
of
truth
,
as
is
made
manifest
,
who
hath
denied
salvation
by
Christ
within
;
and
as
she
hath
avoyded
the
way
of
truth
her self
,
so
she
casts
a
stumbling-block
in
the
way
of
the
simple
to
avoyed
it
likewise
.
Whereas
she
speaks
,
of
discovering
Satan
under
these
vails
,
and
saith
,
by
barkening
to
the
voyce
of
the
Tempter
she
was
deceived
,
and
beguiled
by
him
,
in
some
particular
things
.
I
answer
,
Satan
is
not
yet
discovered
to
her
,
but
lyes
under
his
vayle
in
Flesh
,
deceiving
her
;
and
by
her
bearkening
to
the
voyce
of
the
Tempter
,
she
is
now
deceived
by
him
,
not
in
few
things
,
but
in
many
:
I
speak
it
as
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
who
shall
judge
of
her
and
me
.
And
she
speaks
of
ever
being
humbled
in
the
presence
of
God
for
it
.
I
answer
,
When
the
dreadfull
God
shews
his
presence
,
she
cannot
stand
,
but
shall
be
confounded
,
who
doth
here
speak
to
the
dishonour
of
his
Name
:
True
humility
she
knows
not
,
for
the
man
of
sin
is
exalted
in
her
above
all
that
is
called
God
.
And
whereas
she
speaks
,
of
beginning
to
be
somewhat
confused
in
her
judgement
;
and
she
speaks
,
of
not
being
swallowed
up
with
confusion
.
I
answer
,
She
is
in
confusion
,
and
hath
never
been
out
of
it
,
as
to
every
single
eye
may
appear
;
she
is
not
only
somewhat
in
confusion
,
but
is
rowled
and
swallowed
up
in
it
;
and
it
is
long
since
it
began
in
her
.
Whereas
,
she
speaks
of
being
weak
in
Principles
.
I
answer
,
It
it
true
,
the
Principle
which
is
of
God
,
is
,
and
hath
been
weak
in
her
,
for
it
is
over-powred
by
the
Principle
of
Deceit
,
which
is
not
weak
,
but
strong
;
and
which
rules
and
Guides
her
in
her
own
will
.
Whereas
,
she
speaks
,
of
being
with
a
people
,
and
by
them
being
deceived
in
some
particular
things
:
naming
onely
three
things
;
the
first
whereof
is
.
That
godliness
being
a
Mystery
;
that
it
did
consist
of
something
within
,
and
not
of
something
without
;
and
that
the
Saints
were
to
expect
life
and
salvation
from
a
Christ
within
,
and
not
from
a
Christ
without
.
I
answer
Godliness
is
a
mystery
;
the
Image
of
God
,
which
is
Godliness
is
a
mystery
hidden
from
the
eye
of
I.
Turner
,
and
from
all
vulterous
eyes
;
and
this
mystery
is
within
,
in
life
and
power
consisting
of
the
new
man
Christ
Jesus
,
who
is
the
Image
of
God
made
manifest
within
the
Saints
,
in
whose
Image
man
is
like
God
,
godly
;
and
this
mystery
is
not
in
outward
things
,
in
word
or
declaration
,
or
outward
practice
,
though
where
this
mystery
is
made
manifest
,
godly
practises
will
flow
from
it
to
without
;
but
yet
the
power
,
life
,
and
mystery
of
godliness
is
within
,
and
cannot
be
seen
with
the
carnal
eye
,
not
comprehended
with
the
carnal
mind
.
And
here
I
charge
I.
Turner
,
in
the
presence
of
God
,
that
she
knowes
not
the
mystery
of
Godliness
,
who
blasphemously
calls
this
a
corrupt
Principle
;
and
here
it
is
made
manifest
,
that
she
is
in
Babylon
yet
,
and
is
deceived
and
bewitched
by
the
Devill
:
I
bear
witness
to
the
truth
,
and
to
this
particular
,
and
against
her
who
denyes
it
.
And
the
Saints
have
Life
and
Salvation
from
Christ
made
manifest
within
,
which
is
the
same
Christ
which
suffered
without
;
and
this
I
affirm
,
that
till
Christ
be
revealed
within
,
there
is
no
Salvation
,
nor
Life
partaked
of
.
The
Scripture
saith
,
they
were
Reprobates
in
whom
Christ
was
not
;
And
the
Apostle
said
,
Christ
in
you
,
the
hope
of
glory
;
and
Christ
lived
in
him
,
which
was
his
●ife
and
Salvation
.
Where
Christ
is
not
made
manifest
within
,
the
Serpent
is
Head
,
and
the
Devil
is
King
in
the
heart
;
and
this
I
witness
,
and
do
declare
it
,
as
in
the
presence
of
God
,
that
till
Christ
was
made
manifest
within
me
,
I
was
not
saved
,
nor
had
no
life
as
to
God
,
though
I
was
high
in
Profession
and
Knowledge
outwardly
.
And
here
again
I.
Turner
hath
shewed
forth
her
blindness
and
sottishness
to
all
,
and
may
stop
her
mouth
for
shame
,
and
confess
,
that
she
is
a
bondslave
in
Babylon
,
who
calls
this
a
corrupt
Principle
,
which
is
the
Way
,
Power
and
Life
of
Religion
and
Salvation
,
which
is
Christ
Jesus
within
made
manifest
in
the
Saints
,
which
takes
away
Sin
,
and
destroys
the
Works
of
the
Devil
;
and
she
and
all
others
,
who
walks
and
lives
in
the
flesh
,
following
the
lusts
and
desires
of
it
,
living
to
their
own
wills
in
the
broad-way
,
and
talks
of
Salvation
by
any
thing
without
,
will
be
deceived
;
for
nothing
will
present
to
God
,
but
the
Righteousness
of
Jesus
Christ
revealed
,
which
takes
away
sin
,
and
sets
free
from
it
.
And
now
for
the
second
Principle
,
That
Saints
were
not
to
do
duties
by
,
or
from
a
commmand
without
,
but
from
a
command
within
;
and
that
the
Word
command
in
Scripture
,
was
not
a
command
to
them
,
till
they
had
a
Word
within
them
.
I
answer
,
That
is
no
command
from
God
to
me
,
what
he
commands
to
another
;
neither
did
any
of
the
Saints
which
we
read
of
in
Scripture
act
by
the
command
which
was
to
another
,
not
having
the
command
to
themselves
;
I
challenge
to
find
an
example
for
it
;
they
obeyed
every
one
their
own
command
,
one
was
sent
to
Baptism
and
to
Preach
the
Gospel
;
another
was
sent
,
not
to
Baptize
,
but
to
Preach
the
Gospel
.
And
thou
I.
Turner
,
or
any
other
,
who
goes
to
duty
,
as
you
call
it
,
by
imitation
from
the
Letter
without
,
which
was
commands
to
others
,
in
your
own
wills
and
time
,
your
sacrifice
is
not
accepted
,
but
is
abomination
to
the
Lord
;
for
you
go
without
the
moving
of
the
Spirit
,
in
your
own
wills
and
strength
,
which
God
hates
,
and
which
his
wrath
is
upon
.
And
I
charge
her
here
,
as
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
that
she
knows
not
what
a
command
from
God
in
Spirit
is
;
but
is
ignorant
,
and
not
a
daughter
of
Sion
;
and
let
her
mouth
be
stopped
,
and
let
shame
strike
her
in
the
Face
,
who
professes
her self
to
know
the
Lord
;
and
let
all
be
ashamed
of
her
who
professes
themselves
members
joyned
with
her
in
Church
;
she
hath
made
manifest
the
ignorance
of
them
all
.
Now
for
the
third
particular
,
That
as
to
the
time
of
doing
duties
,
they
were
to
wait
for
the
moving
of
the
spirit
,
to
carry
them
forth
to
it
;
and
this
they
called
,
Wayting
for
a
power
;
and
till
they
had
such
a
power
,
they
were
to
do
nothing
,
but
sit
still
,
and
wait
;
and
this
not
onely
in
private
duties
,
but
in
Church
also
;
not
owning
any
Ministery
by
way
of
gifts
of
Office
,
but
to
come
together
,
and
there
sit
still
and
wait
till
they
had
a
power
,
and
then
to
speak
whether
man
or
woman
.
I
answer
,
who
dare
call
this
a
Principle
of
deceit
?
none
but
who
are
led
by
deceit
,
and
such
is
I.
Turner
,
who
puts
light
for
darkeness
,
and
darkeness
for
light
;
all
duties
,
as
she
calls
them
whatsoever
,
if
the
moving
of
the
Spirit
do
not
carry
forth
to
act
them
;
then
the
movings
of
the
corrupt
will
and
vain
mind
carries
forth
;
and
who
act
from
such
Principles
,
are
accursed
from
God
.
And
I.
Turner
,
and
all
who
denies
to
wait
for
the
movings
of
the
power
of
the
Spirit
to
carry
forth
,
but
goes
before
the
moving
of
it
,
all
their
Prayers
,
Preachings
,
Ordinances
,
and
Churches
,
I
do
deny
,
and
declare
against
,
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
of
God
that
they
are
odious
and
abomination
in
the
eye
of
the
Lord
;
and
is
no
duty
which
he
accepts
,
whether
they
be
done
in
private
,
or
in
the
Church
.
And
that
Ministery
which
is
not
carried
forth
by
the
moving
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
of
man
,
and
in
the
will
of
man
,
which
Ministry
is
hated
of
God
;
and
she
which
denies
waiting
upon
God
,
till
power
be
given
in
from
God
,
to
act
and
speak
for
God
,
hath
denied
the
way
of
God
,
and
the
practice
of
the
Saints
in
former
Generations
;
and
wo
is
unto
her
,
who
makes
the
simple
believe
this
to
be
deceit
.
Whereas
she
saith
,
in
these
particulars
,
which
carried
such
a
face
or
shew
of
spirituality
,
she
was
corruped
,
but
did
never
fully
own
them
in
judgement
nor
practice
.
I
answer
,
O
blind
deceived
spirit
,
which
calls
these
but
a
shew
or
face
of
spirituality
;
she
calls
the
substance
a
shew
,
and
the
shew
or
likeness
,
a
substance
;
And
wo
unto
her
,
which
calls
good
evil
,
and
evil
good
;
these
particulars
by
the
eternal
spirit
,
I
own
,
and
walk
in
;
but
that
spirit
of
deceit
,
and
Antichrist
in
her
,
hath
denied
them
,
and
calls
them
deceiveable
,
and
saith
by
them
she
was
corrupted
;
let
her
be
ashamed
,
and
all
of
her
Faction
;
it
was
the
Principle
which
led
her
from
these
things
,
by
which
she
was
corrupted
,
and
which
hindered
her
to
own
them
and
practice
them
,
and
which
now
makes
her
declare
against
them
;
which
Principle
is
the
spirit
of
the
false
Prophet
,
which
now
rules
,
which
I
know
will
never
own
nor
practice
these
things
.
She
also
saith
,
She
did
oppose
those
Principles
which
led
to
looseness
,
either
in
conversation
,
or
in
slighting
the
Churches
or
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
though
she
believes
such
Principles
naturally
follow
the
others
.
I
answer
,
She
did
,
and
doth
oppose
the
Principle
of
God
,
which
would
have
led
her
out
of
pride
and
lust
,
into
an
holy
conversation
;
and
out
of
false
Churches
,
into
the
Church
which
is
in
God
.
And
I
charge
her
here
,
that
she
believes
Lyes
,
and
utters
what
she
believes
,
which
is
Blasphemy
;
who
saith
she
believes
that
wicked
Principles
naturally
follow
the
three
named
by
her
And
whereas
she
saith
,
As
to
that
Principle
of
waiting
,
she
could
yet
never
come
up
to
it
in
practice
,
in
private
duties
,
she
could
not
stay
so
long
from
duty
,
till
she
had
such
a
power
,
but
did
frequently
go
to
duty
when
she
had
it
not
.
I
answer
.
Here
I
do
believe
her
she
speaks
truth
,
with
her
lying
spirit
;
she
never
yet
could
wait
upon
God
,
to
act
for
him
,
but
hath
run
in
her
own
will
,
which
is
abomination
to
him
,
which
is
no
acting
for
God
,
but
for
self
,
and
for
the
Devil
;
and
here
hath
she
shut
her self
out
,
from
the
holy
men
of
Gods
practice
,
who
waited
upon
him
to
be
led
by
him
,
by
the
power
of
his
Spirit
;
and
she
shews
her self
openly
to
all
,
that
she
went
to
that
which
she
calls
duty
in
her
own
power
and
time
,
and
knew
not
the
power
of
God
,
nor
his
time
to
be
acted
in
;
and
all
her
Duties
,
as
she
calls
them
,
is
no
more
but
imagined
and
imitated
from
the
letter
without
,
acted
by
the
Serpents
strength
and
wisedom
in
her
;
and
she
hath
here
plainly
discovered
that
she
knows
not
what
waiting
upon
God
is
,
in
truth
and
sincerity
.
She
saith
,
She
thought
sometime
she
had
had
it
;
and
saith
,
she
thought
she
had
had
communion
with
God
.
I
answer
,
Her
thoughts
I
do
deny
,
who
call
truth
deceit
;
and
she
did
,
as
now
she
doth
,
live
in
thoughts
and
conceivings
,
by
which
she
is
beguiled
;
that
spirit
which
rules
and
speaks
in
her
,
never
had
communion
with
God
,
but
is
contrary
to
him
;
nor
never
was
acted
in
the
truth
of
God
,
but
against
him
.
She
saith
,
She
knew
no
Scripture-ground
for
the
practice
of
waiting
to
be
acted
by
the
power
of
the
Spirit
,
and
led
to
duty
.
I
answer
,
The
Saints
ground
of
acting
,
is
not
the
outward
letter
,
but
the
Spirit
which
gave
forth
the
letter
;
but
the
Scripture
doth
declare
of
such
as
waited
to
be
acted
by
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
the
Lord
:
Dare
any
say
,
the
Saints
Prayed
or
Propresied
,
without
the
movings
of
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
the
Lord
?
here
she
hath
shut
her self
among
the
Heathens
,
who
knows
not
God
,
nor
what
it
is
to
be
acted
by
his
Spirit
and
Power
.
She
speaks
of
losing
her
peace
,
and
having
little
or
no
communion
with
God
,
nor
scarce
any
thing
to
speak
to
,
or
for
God
.
I
answer
,
True
peace
in
Christ
she
never
knew
;
for
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
:
neither
have
any
,
who
denies
waiting
upon
God
,
as
she
hath
done
,
any
communion
with
God
,
nor
nothing
to
say
to
,
or
for
God
,
but
through
deceit
,
and
in
deceit
is
I.
Turner
.
That
which
brought
her
into
trouble
,
and
let
her
see
the
confusion
(
Which
she
speaks
of
)
which
she
had
lived
in
before
,
but
saw
it
not
till
then
;
that
Witness
I
own
,
and
it
shall
witness
for
the
Lord
and
the
Truth
of
what
I
say
eternally
;
though
she
have
slain
the
Witness
,
yet
it
shall
arise
to
her
condemnation
,
and
her
everlasting
misery
.
And
whereas
she
saith
,
Some
laboured
to
perswade
her
it
was
a
dispensation
of
God
,
and
that
the
Saints
,
after
brought
out
of
Egypt
,
must
be
in
the
Wilderness
,
before
they
come
to
Canaan
.
I
answer
,
I
bear
witness
by
the
eternal
Spirit
,
the
truth
of
this
particular
,
as
having
witnessed
the
same
condition
;
and
she
which
hath
denied
this
to
be
of
God
;
hath
openly
shewed
her self
to
be
of
the
Devil
,
denying
the
truth
of
Scriptures
.
She
saith
,
this
did
not
at
all
satisfie
her
,
but
she
continued
in
a
sad
condition
.
I
answer
,
She
here
hath
shewed
what
spirit
she
is
of
,
of
the
viperous
Generation
which
fled
the
wrath
which
came
upon
her
,
and
could
not
abide
the
judgement
;
and
of
the
spirit
of
them
which
would
have
been
back
in
Aegypt
,
which
murmured
,
and
therefore
,
with
them
,
she
entered
not
,
but
i●
perished
with
them
in
the
Wilderness
.
Whereas
she
saith
,
She
was
never
so
troubled
with
temptations
,
as
at
that
time
.
I
answer
,
Here
she
hath
shewed
her self
to
be
the
stony
ground
,
which
when
temptation
came
,
withered
away
.
She
speaks
of
a
particular
temptation
,
which
was
,
Questioning
the
Being
of
God
.
I
answer
,
That
which
was
troubled
,
wrought
the
temptations
;
and
not
that
which
troubled
;
and
here
she
shews
her
ignorance
,
which
cannot
discern
the
ground
of
temptation
,
but
layes
it
upon
God
,
which
is
basphemy
;
for
he
tempts
none
to
evil
.
Whereas
she
saith
,
this
was
the
〈◊〉
fruit
of
her
straying
from
the
pure
wayes
of
Truth
.
I
answer
,
Here
again
she
shews
her
blindness
,
who
knows
not
that
temptations
are
for
good
:
That
which
she
calls
,
straying
from
the
pure
wayes
of
truth
,
is
otherwise
;
for
the
stronger
man
came
to
dispossess
the
strong
man
,
and
then
began
the
war
,
and
happy
had
she
been
,
if
she
had
patiently
endured
to
the
end
;
but
not
abiding
under
the
judgement
,
but
starting
aside
,
she
is
cast
out
,
and
must
not
enter
;
for
the
second
Beast
whose
deadly
wound
is
healed
,
is
alive
,
which
makes
war
with
the
Lamb
,
which
exerciseth
all
the
power
of
the
first
Beast
:
and
here
I.
Turner
is
under
the
dominion
of
the
second
Beast
.
She
speaks
of
blessing
God
that
she
strayed
no
further
.
I
answer
.
She
who
hath
denied
to
wait
unto
Prayer
and
Praises
,
but
prayeth
in
her
own
strength
and
time
,
her
Praise
is
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
and
she
calls
that
,
straying
from
God
,
which
was
leading
unto
God
,
and
so
hath
forsaken
the
right
way
,
and
hath
cast
the
way
of
God
behind
her
back
,
and
resisted
him
,
who
would
have
led
her
out
of
darkness
,
and
out
of
confusion
.
Whereas
she
speaks
of
God
remembring
her
.
To
which
I
answer
,
he
will
remember
her
to
plague
her
,
who
hath
brought
dishonour
to
his
great
Name
,
and
hath
called
his
way
,
the
way
of
error
,
and
of
deceit
;
and
his
real
Truth
,
a
shew
or
notion
;
she
hath
chosen
her
own
way
,
the
way
of
destruction
.
Whereas
she
speaks
,
being
turned
from
owning
these
particulars
,
she
was
restored
to
those
joyes
that
once
she
had
.
I
answer
.
She
is
returned
with
the
Dog
to
the
vomit
,
and
with
the
Sow
to
her
wallowing
in
the
mire
,
and
there
's
her
joy
;
and
she
now
joys
in
the
earthly
dust
,
in
Forms
and
Traditions
,
and
likenesses
of
things
,
and
knows
not
what
it
is
to
joy
in
God
the
Substance
,
as
by
her
writings
it
is
made
manifest
,
who
hath
denied
Salvation
by
Christ
within
,
and
hath
denied
to
wait
upon
God
for
the
Power
of
his
Spirit
,
and
calls
them
deceitfull
Principles
;
she
hath
chosen
the
way
of
Death
,
rather
then
the
way
of
Life
,
and
hath
taken
her self
to
follow
shaddows
and
likenesses
,
and
neglected
the
Substance
,
which
is
Christ
within
,
the
hope
of
glory
;
her
latter
end
is
worse
then
her
beginning
,
and
the
Parable
is
fulfilled
upon
her
.
And
she
speaks
in
the
126.
pag.
of
Satan
being
discovered
under
his
vail
;
and
in
particular
,
as
to
that
of
being
saved
by
a
Christ
within
,
and
not
by
a
Christ
without
;
and
the
Lord
was
pleased
to
shew
her
it
was
quite
another
thing
,
differing
from
the
Gospel
,
and
that
it
was
attended
with
this
evil
consequence
,
to
overthrow
the
whole
Gospel
,
and
to
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
.
I
answer
,
I
charge
her
here
,
as
in
the
presence
of
God
,
with
belying
the
Lord
,
and
with
horrible
Basphemy
;
who
saith
,
That
that
which
the
Saints
and
servants
of
God
witnessed
,
who
Preached
the
Gospel
and
established
it
,
(
Christ
within
manifested
)
is
quite
another
thing
differing
from
the
Gospel
,
and
that
it
is
attended
to
overthrow
the
whole
Gospel
:
O
horrible
Blasphemy
,
and
belying
the
Lord
,
who
saith
,
that
the
Lord
was
pleased
to
shew
her
it
;
did
ever
he
shew
any
Lyes
?
all
take
notice
of
this
wicked
and
horrible
Blasphemer
;
the
Lord
rebuke
that
unclean
spirit
of
Antichrist
in
her
.
She
goes
on
,
and
saith
,
then
secondly
,
as
to
that
of
waiting
for
a
power
to
Pray
,
and
that
here
was
no
command
but
from
within
;
concerning
both
these
,
the
Lord
was
pleased
to
shew
that
it
was
not
according
to
his
minde
,
but
a
meer
invention
of
Satan
;
and
that
it
was
attended
with
this
evill
consequence
to
slight
Scriptures
and
Commands
of
God
,
and
to
expose
the
soul
to
Satans
deceivings
to
walk
by
the
imaginations
of
their
own
heart
,
instead
of
the
motions
of
the
Spirit
.
I
answer
,
The
Saints
waited
for
the
moving
of
the
Spirit
,
which
was
power
in
them
to
help
them
to
pray
,
they
knew
not
to
Pray
as
they
ought
without
it
,
and
this
command
and
help
,
they
had
not
without
them
,
but
within
them
:
And
I
again
here
charge
her
with
belying
the
Lord
,
and
with
notorious
Blasphemy
,
who
saith
,
that
that
which
the
Saints
witnessed
(
waiting
for
the
power
of
the
Spirit
to
Pray
)
is
not
according
,
to
the
minde
of
the
Lord
,
but
an
invention
of
Satan
;
and
she
is
not
ashamed
to
say
,
the
Lord
shewed
her
,
and
the
same
which
they
witnessed
,
who
spoke
forth
the
Scripture
,
and
which
walked
in
the
Commands
of
God
,
tends
to
slight
Scriptures
and
commands
of
God
,
and
to
expose
the
soul
to
Satans
deceivings
:
this
is
Blasphemy
and
Error
,
and
corrupt
Principles
:
and
she
which
hath
denyed
waiting
,
to
be
led
by
the
motions
of
the
Spirit
,
is
led
by
the
imaginations
of
her
own
heart
,
is
under
the
power
of
Satans
deceiving
,
and
speaks
contrary
to
what
the
Scripture
speaks
,
and
so
slights
it
,
and
the
Commands
of
God
;
she
hath
Blasphemed
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
accordingly
will
the
Lord
requite
her
.
And
thus
have
I
for
the
simple
ones
sake
declared
the
truth
,
and
every
single
eye
may
see
,
who
it
is
is
led
by
corrupt
principles
;
and
what
I
have
written
shall
she
eternally
witness
to
be
true
,
and
all
her
co-partners
.
And
I
pass
by
the
rest
of
her
Book
,
as
not
worth
answering
,
for
it
is
nothing
but
airy
imagination
and
confusion
,
and
death
yet
raigns
in
her
,
and
in
her
Book
is
spoken
out
by
her
;
and
she
knowes
not
the
Baptism
of
Saints
,
nor
Communion
,
nor
the
true
Church
of
Christ
;
to
that
witness
in
her
conscience
do
I
declare
,
and
when
it
shall
arise
,
it
will
eternally
witness
me
.
Whose
Name
in
the
Flesh
is
EDWARD
BURROUGH
.
The
Copy
of
a
Letter
,
&c.
FRiends
,
(
for
so
I
call
you
)
I
was
moved
of
the
Lord
to
come
into
your
Assembly
,
to
declare
the
truth
from
him
,
concerning
you
,
as
by
the
eternal
Spirit
was
revealed
to
me
;
and
I
do
acknowledge
it
,
it
was
a
mercy
from
the
Lord
that
I
had
that
small
liberty
which
I
had
,
to
clear
my
Conscience
amongst
you
,
and
to
discharge
my
duty
,
in
obedience
to
the
Lord
,
and
to
every
ones
Conscience
am
I
made
manifest
,
whether
you
will
hear
,
or
you
will
forbear
:
truely
Friends
,
there
is
somthing
among
you
which
I
own
,
and
which
is
owned
of
my
Father
;
but
yet
many
things
hath
he
against
you
,
and
as
I
said
,
I
now
again
say
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
,
that
your
Covering
is
too
narrow
to
hide
your
shame
,
and
your
bed
too
short
to
stretch
your selves
upon
;
Now
friends
,
the
Ordinances
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
you
act
in
,
(
you
say
)
in
obedience
to
him
,
I
do
not
speak
against
,
but
do
witness
them
in
life
and
power
;
neither
do
I
judge
such
amongst
you
who
have
entered
in
at
the
door
,
by
the
Principle
of
God
,
to
the
Ordinances
,
(
if
any
such
)
but
you
I
do
declare
against
,
and
do
judge
by
the
infallible
Spirit
,
who
have
in
your
own
wills
thrust
in
your selves
,
and
acted
by
imagination
and
immitation
from
the
Letter
without
,
and
not
having
received
the
Command
from
Christ
into
your selves
;
such
I
judge
to
be
in
deceit
,
deceived
by
the
Serpent
,
which
deceives
the
simple
,
by
the
likeness
of
a
thing
;
and
you
that
limit
the
Lord
to
any
outward
visible
thing
,
that
without
such
,
can
be
no
Salvation
,
you
I
judge
again
to
be
in
deceit
,
and
my
judgement
shall
stand
;
for
nothing
is
available
,
that
which
God
once
commanded
,
nor
that
which
was
not
commanded
,
but
the
new
Creature
,
which
is
born
of
the
immortall
Seed
,
contrary
to
the
will
of
man
.
Truely
,
Friends
,
you
are
acting
in
darkness
,
and
there
is
no
seperation
in
you
betwixt
the
precious
and
the
vile
,
betwixt
the
clean
,
and
the
unclean
;
for
that
which
did
convince
you
of
false
Hirelings
,
and
of
their
deceitful
worship
,
(
which
is
owned
of
my
Father
in
you
)
hath
not
been
obeyed
by
you
,
but
your
minds
have
been
drawn
forth
from
within
,
to
obey
a
thing
without
;
and
herein
have
you
been
bewitched
from
the
obedience
of
the
truth
within
,
to
obey
the
letter
without
;
as
they
were
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
;
and
you
are
acted
in
another
form
;
and
likeness
then
you
were
before
,
and
which
some
are
acted
in
yet
,
but
by
the
same
spirit
;
and
you
have
a
zeale
,
I
beare
you
record
,
but
it
is
not
according
to
knowledge
;
I
declare
against
that
spirit
,
by
which
you
are
now
acted
,
as
knowing
it
to
be
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
;
and
that
which
is
owned
by
my
Father
in
you
,
is
oppressed
by
you
,
by
your
wisdom
and
reason
which
stands
above
,
and
is
head
,
and
rules
amongst
you
,
which
is
for
destruction
,
and
for
the
Lord
to
accomplish
his
wrath
upon
:
and
happy
were
you
if
you
knew
the
day
of
vengeance
,
which
is
the
acceptable
year
of
the
Lord
;
but
you
are
yet
full
and
rich
,
and
think
you
have
need
of
nothing
;
and
have
a
name
that
you
live
,
but
you
are
dead
,
and
empty
,
and
miserable
;
your
form
is
corrupted
,
and
you
seek
the
living
among
the
dead
,
and
you
act
in
the
form
,
but
walks
at
liberty
in
your
own
wills
,
despising
the
daily
cross
of
Christ
,
which
if
you
walked
in
,
would
bring
down
the
high
minde
,
and
high
nature
in
you
;
and
through
the
Cross
,
that
which
is
low
in
you
would
be
exalted
,
and
the
witness
of
your
Ordinances
would
you
have
within
,
which
you
are
seeking
in
the
letter
without
.
And
now
Friend
,
to
the●
who
wert
the
Speaker
when
I
was
present
among
you
;
thy
Name
I
know
not
,
but
by
thy
nature
and
spirit
,
thy
spirit
is
the
same
which
they
speak
from
,
which
thou
seems
to
deny
as
false
spirits
;
and
by
that
spirit
hast
thou
been
deceived
,
and
now
it
workes
by
thee
to
deceive
others
;
and
that
spirit
infallibly
,
by
the
eternal
Spirit
do
I
judge
;
for
the
time
is
come
,
that
by
the
Saints
,
the
great
Whore
must
be
judged
,
which
hath
made
all
the
men
of
the
Earth
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
her
Fornication
,
and
which
hath
deceived
the
simple
.
And
whereas
thou
didst
Quaery
,
what
one
thing
I
will
deny
as
untruth
which
you
had
spoken
▪
I
answered
then
,
as
now
I
do
;
I
do
deny
thy
voyce
and
spirit
,
for
〈◊〉
is
the
voyce
of
the
stranger
,
and
,
not
of
Christ
:
and
though
you
sweare
by
that
spirit
,
The
Lord
lives
;
I
say
surely
thou
swearest
falsely
;
and
the
false
Prophets
which
used
their
tongues
,
and
said
The
Lord
saith
it
,
when
the
Lord
had
not
spoken
unto
them
,
spoke
the
same
words
of
the
true
Prophet
;
but
he
that
had
the
true
spirit
judged
the
false
spirit
,
and
so
it
is
now
.
And
therefore
Friend
,
out
of
love
to
thy
soul
,
I
do
advise
thee
to
be
silent
before
the
Lord
,
and
wait
upon
him
,
till
he
manifest
himself
to
speak
in
thee
,
and
by
thee
;
for
Friend
,
thy
Ministry
is
in
the
will
of
man
,
and
thou
ministers
death
unto
dead
minds
;
and
the
Ministery
which
is
to
the
Seed
,
thou
art
ignorant
of
;
to
that
in
thy
conscience
I
speak
,
which
shall
witness
for
me
before
the
Lord
,
who
is
appearing
in
his
power
,
to
utter
his
thunders
;
and
all
Flesh
shall
tremble
at
his
presence
;
and
all
Forms
of
Worship
will
he
dash
to
pieces
at
his
appearance
;
And
yours
,
which
is
the
purest
Form
,
shall
be
broken
to
pieces
,
that
he
may
rule
,
who
is
without
form
and
comeliness
.
Now
Friends
,
for
the
Seeds
sake
have
I
spoken
and
written
to
you
;
and
to
that
in
your
consciences
have
I
cleared
my
conscience
,
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
which
you
shall
Eternally
witness
,
whether
you
will
hear
or
forbear
:
By
a
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
who
is
named
of
the
World
,
Edward
Burrough
.
An
Answer
to
a
Book
,
called
,
A
Voice
from
the
word
of
the
LORD
,
by
one
Iohn
Griffith
,
against
us
whom
the
World
calls
Quakers
,
wherein
his
false
Accusations
is
denied
,
and
he
proved
to
be
a
Slanderer
,
and
the
Truth
cleared
from
his
Scandals
.
A
Certain
Book
being
come
forth
into
the
world
,
full
of
Lies
and
Slanders
against
the
Innocent
,
called
A
voice
from
the
word
of
the
Lord
,
to
those
grand
Impostors
called
Quakers
;
to
the
Author
of
which
Book
(
who
calls
himself
Iohn
Criffith
,
a
Servant
of
Christ
)
and
to
all
to
whomsoever
it
may
come
,
I
am
moved
to
write
something
in
Answer
,
that
his
lies
and
slanders
,
and
false
reproaches
may
be
made
manifest
,
and
that
he
may
proceed
no
further
;
for
as
Iannes
and
Iambres
withstood
Moses
,
so
doth
he
resist
the
truth
,
being
a
man
of
a
corrupt
mind
,
and
reprobate
concerning
faith
,
and
is
not
a
Servant
of
Christ
,
nor
a
witness
for
his
Name
,
but
a
child
of
disobedience
;
in
whom
the
Prince
of
the
aire
rules
.
And
first
to
the
title
of
thy
Book
,
I
Answer
,
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
powerful
,
and
will
cut
thee
down
,
thou
sensual
minded
man
,
it
thou
knowest
not
,
but
takes
the
words
of
others
declared
from
the
word
which
was
in
them
.
and
thou
useth
thy
tongue
,
and
saith
the
Lord
saith
it
;
but
I
say
unto
thee
,
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
unto
thee
,
neither
commanded
thee
to
speak
of
his
Name
:
and
I
charge
it
upon
thee
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
God
of
Life
,
that
thou
art
of
that
Generation
which
Ieremiah
was
sent
to
cry
against
,
Ier.
23.
31.
for
thou
speaks
thy
imaginations
upon
their
words
which
dwelt
in
the
life
of
God
,
but
the
life
thou
knowest
not
,
and
thy
whole
Book
is
no
more
but
an
empty
sound
and
voice
,
and
is
as
the
untimely
fruit
of
the
womb
which
will
wither
and
perish
away
:
and
one
of
them
I
am
whom
thou
calls
Quakers
,
to
whom
thou
sayst
,
thou
directs
thy
speech
;
but
that
we
are
grand
Impostors
,
I
do
deny
,
for
we
are
gathered
up
into
the
life
which
the
holy
men
of
God
lived
in
,
and
are
fallen
from
the
world
,
and
from
its
wayes
and
nature
:
and
I
charge
thee
here
to
be
a
slanderer
,
and
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
I
do
declare
unto
thee
that
thou
must
have
a
slanderers
reward
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
thou
hast
discovered
their
fleshly
and
filthy
mindedness
,
together
with
the
judgments
of
God
attending
them
.
I
Answer
,
Fleshly
and
filthy
mindedness
,
we
have
denied
by
the
Power
of
the
Son
of
God
made
manifest
in
us
;
thou
hast
laid
it
to
our
charge
,
but
thou
hast
not
proved
it
,
nor
discovered
it
,
and
here
again
thou
are
a
false
Accuser
,
fleshly
and
filthy
mindedness
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
;
for
there
thou
art
in
the
flesh
&
filth
,
living
to
thy
will
in
the
lust
of
uncleanness
,
for
thou
mayst
remember
thou
camest
out
of
the
Bowling-Alley
to
our
Meeting
,
though
Pharisee-like
thy
out-side
is
painted
and
made
clean
,
but
thy
heart
is
full
of
enmity
and
lies
,
and
slanders
,
and
false
reproaches
,
to
that
in
thy
conscience
I
do
speak
which
shall
forever
witness
me
,
and
as
for
the
judgments
of
the
Lord
upon
thy
own
head
will
they
fall
,
and
with
what
measure
thou
metes
it
shall
be
measured
to
thee
again
;
we
are
passed
from
judgment
,
and
from
the
condemnation
,
and
who
art
thou
thou
enemy
of
righteousness
,
that
shall
lay
any
thing
to
the
charge
of
Gods
Elect.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
thou
art
one
that
bears
witness
against
those
wandring
starres
.
I
answer
,
this
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
,
a
wandring
star
thou
art
,
and
hath
no
habitation
in
the
Heaven
,
but
speaks
swelling
words
of
vanity
,
thou
thy self
being
a
servant
of
corruption
,
we
have
an
abiding
place
,
and
an
habitation
in
the
Lord
,
and
are
not
wandring
;
and
here
again
I
charge
thee
to
be
a
false
Accuser
,
and
a
false
witness
,
who
bears
Witness
of
thy self
;
for
the
Father
bears
no
witness
of
thee
,
but
against
thee
.
Whereas
thou
sayst
the
most
high
God
that
made
the
heavens
and
the
Earth
,
hath
moved
thee
and
stirred
thee
up
to
bear
witness
to
the
Truth
,
and
to
witness
against
the
abominable
fleshly
mindedness
,
and
yet
spiritual
pride
of
those
grand
Impostors
called
Quakers
,
by
whose
sorceries
many
are
bewitched
and
drawn
from
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospell
,
to
another
Gospel
,
which
is
not
another
Gospel
,
but
the
vanity
of
their
own
minds
and
their
own
fleshly
and
corrupt
thoughts
which
they
cry
up
as
Oracles
of
God
.
I
answer
.
The
most
high
God
judge
between
thee
and
us
;
whose
wrath
is
kindled
against
thee
,
thou
enemy
of
righteousness
,
and
Child
of
wrath
;
thou
hast
belyed
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
for
to
this
he
moved
thee
not
,
for
he
moves
none
to
utter
lyes
and
slanders
,
as
thou
hast
done
,
but
the
spirit
of
enmity
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
hath
moved
thee
;
and
to
the
Truth
thou
bears
no
witness
,
but
against
the
Truth
,
and
against
the
Innocent
;
and
charges
us
with
fleshly
mindedness
and
spiritual
pride
.
O
thou
Lyar
and
false
Accuser
,
the
Lord
who
takes
our
part
against
thee
will
plead
with
thee
,
and
render
upon
thy
head
according
to
thy
deeds
;
prove
what
thou
speaks
that
we
are
fleshly
minded
and
spiritually
proud
,
or
else
let
thy
mouth
be
stopped
and
shame
cover
thee
forever
;
Sorceries
and
witchcraft
,
and
drawing
from
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
we
do
deny
;
but
the
plain
single
Truth
we
do
declare
,
by
which
the
eye
of
the
blind
is
opened
in
many
to
see
your
deceits
who
call
your selves
Churches
and
Preachers
of
the
Gospel
;
which
is
not
the
Gospel
that
the
Apostles
preached
,
but
an
adding
your
own
Imaginations
upon
their
words
,
who
witnessed
the
Gospel
,
and
it
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
,
thou
art
in
the
sorcery
and
witchraft
;
who
draws
people
to
observe
an
outward
visible
thing
,
from
the
Light
of
Christ
within
them
;
which
leades
to
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
,
which
is
inward
and
not
outward
;
and
thou
art
in
thy
fleshly
and
corrupt
thoughts
,
crying
up
the
Ordinances
and
Oracles
,
of
God
,
which
are
but
carnal
and
beggerly
rudiments
of
the
world
,
which
passeth
away
;
and
here
thou
art
seen
and
made
manifest
,
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
to
be
a
Hypocrite
,
who
falsely
accuses
others
of
that
which
thou
art
guilty
of
thy self
;
the
same
Gospel
as
ever
was
,
do
we
declare
;
and
not
another
,
which
we
received
not
from
man
,
neither
was
taught
it
by
man
:
and
as
the
Oracles
of
God
it
shall
stand
forever
for
a
witness
against
thee
,
and
all
the
world
who
doth
not
believe
;
for
even
the
Father
beares
witness
of
us
,
and
therefore
our
witness
is
true
;
and
the
righteous
God
will
plead
with
thee
thou
Lyar
and
false
Accuser
,
and
here
be
a
witness
against
thy self
that
the
Lord
moved
thee
not
,
but
the
Devil
,
acting
in
thy
own
imaginations
,
and
in
the
vanity
of
thy
own
mind
,
and
in
thy
one
fleshly
and
corrupt
thoughts
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
to
us
thou
directs
thy
speech
from
the
Lord
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
to
thee
,
O
Quaker
,
thou
art
fleshly
minded
.
I
answer
,
It
is
not
the
voyce
of
the
Lord
to
us
that
speaks
in
thee
,
but
the
voyce
of
the
Devil
,
and
the
Serpent
which
speaks
from
thee
:
fleshly
minded
we
are
not
,
but
are
redeemed
out
of
it
,
and
our
mindes
are
changed
and
are
Spiritual
,
and
't
is
the
Spirit
of
the
living
God
seals
unto
us
,
and
witnesses
in
us
;
and
here
thou
art
of
thy
Father
the
old
Dragon
,
and
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
,
but
it
is
God
that
justifies
,
and
who
art
thou
that
condemns
?
and
this
thy
speech
is
seen
and
comprehended
,
which
thou
hast
directed
to
us
,
and
it
is
judged
,
by
the
Spirit
of
true
judgment
to
be
a
false
Accusation
and
a
Lye
,
and
not
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
into
the
Lake
amongst
the
false
Prophets
thou
art
to
be
turned
,
who
useth
thy
tougue
when
the
Lord
never
spake
to
thee
.
And
thou
sayest
we
look
upon
the
Iustitution
of
Christ
Supper
with
a
fleshly
and
carnal
eye
,
because
we
say
,
that
the
bread
and
wine
which
Christ
commanded
his
Disciples
to
eat
and
to
drink
,
is
carnal
.
I
Answer
,
The
bread
,
and
wine
,
is
visible
and
carnal
,
and
fleshly
,
and
not
Spiritual
,
nor
Eternal
,
and
in
the
eternal
Light
,
by
the
Spiritual
eye
of
God
opened
in
us
,
we
see
them
,
and
do
own
that
it
was
a
command
of
Christ
,
to
stand
for
its
time
,
and
no
more
,
but
a
carnal
figure
of
a
spiritual
thing
,
and
the
spiritual
thing
being
the
Substance
bearing
witness
,
the
figure
is
denied
and
declared
against
,
and
thou
and
thy
Generation
who
art
acting
in
those
things
by
tradition
,
tying
and
limitting
God
to
a
visible
thing
,
(
that
without
it
no
salvation
)
art
in
the
sorcery
and
witchraft
,
and
an
enemy
to
the
substance
;
for
Christ
never
since
he
was
sacrificed
brake
of
the
Bread
,
or
drank
of
the
Cup
with
his
Disciples
,
but
new
in
his
Fathers
kingdom
;
and
thou
who
art
in
the
●arnal
figure
,
acting
those
things
without
the
injoyment
of
Christ
,
art
sensual
,
and
by
the
Light
of
Christ
art
to
be
condemned
and
judged
with
the
world
,
who
art
without
God
,
and
without
the
injoyment
of
Christ
,
in
the
beggerly
rudiments
of
the
world
.
Thou
sayst
,
O
fleshly
minded
men
whom
the
god
of
this
world
hath
blinded
because
you
believe
not
:
and
thou
sayst
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
and
speaks
the
Prophet
Malachic
words
.
To
which
I
answer
;
this
again
I
do
deny
;
the
god
of
the
world
is
cast
out
,
and
the
eye
is
opened
through
judgments
and
our
fleshly
minds
are
judged
,
and
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
we
do
believe
,
and
our
belief
in
him
hath
purified
our
hearts
;
to
the
praise
of
the
Living
God
,
who
hath
wrought
all
our
works
in
us
,
and
fo●
us
,
do
I
speak
without
boasting
;
and
here
again
I
charge
it
upon
thee
,
that
thou
art
a
slanderer
and
a
false
accuser
;
and
let
shame
cover
thee
who
professes
thy self
to
be
a
Teacher
of
others
,
who
thy self
is
not
taught
of
the
Lord
;
but
steals
Malachis
words
,
and
speaks
them
to
us
in
thine
own
imaginations
,
and
calls
it
the
word
of
the
Lord
;
the
Lord
is
against
thee
thou
false
Prophet
,
who
prophesies
lyes
in
his
Name
;
and
that
which
thou
speaks
to
us
is
thy
own
condition
,
and
that
which
shall
come
upon
thine
own
head
,
for
a
child
of
disobedience
thou
art
,
and
thy
eye
is
blinded
by
the
god
of
this
world
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
we
are
spiritually
proud
,
that
give
forth
our selves
to
be
some
great
ones
;
and
we
say
we
are
Apostles
,
and
are
not
,
but
are
found
Lyars
,
proud
Pharisees
,
Hypocrites
,
that
say
we
are
Iust
,
Holy
,
Humble
;
and
the
poor
sinful
Publicans
are
more
justified
then
we
.
I
answer
;
proud
we
are
not
,
our
God
shall
judge
between
thee
and
us
in
this
thing
,
for
we
have
nothing
but
what
we
have
freely
received
from
him
:
and
that
we
give
forth
our selves
to
be
great
ones
;
here
thou
art
a
Lyer
,
and
a
false
Accuser
again
;
this
we
have
said
,
and
do
yet
again
declare
that
we
were
moved
of
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
to
come
to
declare
his
mind
and
his
Truth
in
this
City
;
but
this
is
no
boasting
,
and
by
that
same
spirit
which
was
in
the
Apostles
,
were
we
moved
,
and
are
guided
,
and
by
no
other
;
but
who
hath
found
us
Lyers
since
we
came
,
I
challenge
you
,
and
all
thy
Sect
to
prove
one
lye
that
we
have
uttered
;
or
else
let
shame
cover
thee
,
and
let
thy
mouth
be
stopped
;
and
let
thy
own
heart
condemn
thee
to
be
found
the
lyer
thy self
;
and
this
we
testifie
against
thee
,
and
all
the
world
,
that
by
Jesus
,
and
in
him
are
we
made
Holy
,
Just
,
and
Humble
,
he
is
made
these
things
in
us
,
and
for
us
;
and
the
Publican
state
is
witnessed
by
us
who
have
passed
through
the
figure
and
parable
into
the
life
and
substance
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
we
that
boast
of
our
light
within
,
and
faith
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
and
brings
Christs
words
.
I
answer
,
this
is
another
lye
,
we
do
not
boast
of
our
Light
within
,
but
we
witness
it
to
be
within
us
,
and
to
have
enlightned
every
one
that
comes
into
the
world
;
which
thou
and
thy
Generation
denies
,
and
so
would
make
Christ
a
Lyer
,
and
the
Scripture
a
Lye
;
but
against
you
all
,
with
all
the
world
,
we
bear
testimony
,
&
the
Father
bears
witness
with
us
,
that
every
man
that
comes
into
the
world
is
enlightned
by
the
Light
of
Christ
;
which
teacheth
righteousness
,
unto
all
that
loves
it
but
condemn
them
that
hate
it
,
whereof
thou
art
one
who
utters
forth
thy
lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
false
Accusations
against
the
Innocent
;
and
that
Scripture
Ioh.
9.
we
own
,
and
do
witness
to
be
fulfilled
in
us
by
the
coming
of
Christ
;
he
which
did
see
,
is
Blind
,
and
he
which
was
Blind
now
sees
;
and
while
we
did
see
,
our
sin
remained
,
but
being
Blind
we
have
no
sin
;
but
this
to
thee
,
and
to
thy
spirit
,
is
a
mystery
sealed
,
and
never
to
be
known
in
that
nature
and
wisdom
;
and
here
again
thou
hast
used
thy
tongue
false
Prophet
like
,
and
must
receive
a
false
Prophets
reward
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
if
Christ
had
not
spoke
to
us
in
his
word
,
we
had
no
sin
,
but
now
we
have
no
cloak
for
our
sin
.
I
answer
,
Christs
words
we
own
,
but
here
thou
art
made
manifest
to
all
to
add
to
the
Scripture
(
in
his
word
)
this
thou
hast
added
false
Prophet
like
,
and
therefore
the
Lord
will
add
his
plagues
unto
thee
as
the
Scripture
saith
;
be
ashamed
and
blush
,
thy
folly
and
wickednesse
is
made
manifest
,
who
is
not
ashamed
(
to
carry
on
thy
designe
)
to
add
to
Christs
words
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
we
do
not
only
neglect
the
weightier
matters
of
the
law
,
but
t●…
law
it self
,
teaching
men
so
to
do
;
for
we
said
that
the
Scripture
is
not
the
rule
of
faith
and
conversation
,
as
one
of
us
taught
Sept.
27.
in
thy
hearing
,
and
many
others
that
will
witness
it
.
I
answer
,
here
I
challenge
thee
to
prove
that
thou
hast
spoken
,
and
all
thy
witnesses
which
thou
speakes
of
;
oh
thou
Lyer
be
ashamed
to
forge
such
Lyes
,
and
declare
them
in
writing
for
Truth
,
we
neglect
not
the
weightier
matters
of
the
Law
,
nor
the
Law
,
nor
teach
any
so
to
do
;
all
that
ever
heard
us
will
bear
witness
against
thee
,
and
they
(
though
our
Enemies
)
shall
witness
for
us
,
and
against
thee
in
this
thing
;
for
we
declare
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
which
is
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
;
and
this
we
declare
,
that
the
Law
must
have
its
thorow
operation
before
the
Gospel
be
witnessed
;
and
one
of
thy
own
society
said
to
us
,
we
had
preached
the
Law
,
and
brought
men
to
understand
〈◊〉
from
Grace
;
now
let
all
take
notice
of
the
confusion
you
live
in
,
and
let
your
own
hearts
condemn
you
,
and
the
light
in
your
own
consciences
convince
you
,
that
you
are
in
Babylon
,
and
in
confusion
,
and
are
no
true
Church
of
Christ
,
where
all
are
o●
one
heart
,
and
one
mind
:
and
this
again
I
affirm
,
as
before
I
did
in
thy
hearing
that
the
Scripture
is
not
the
Saints
rule
,
but
the
Spirit
which
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
as
the
Scripture
it self
witnesses
,
Rom.
8.
Faith
was
before
the
Scripture
was
,
and
therefore
the
Scripture
is
not
the
ground
of
it
,
but
a
Declaration
of
it
,
and
no
other
faith
we
own
but
the
faith
which
Abel
had
,
and
which
Mo●●●
had
,
which
was
when
no
Scripture
was
written
,
and
that
we
own
to
be
the
Rule
of
our
Conversation
,
which
they
walked
by
,
the
immediate
Spirit
of
God
which
was
before
the
Scripture
was
written
;
and
all
you
who
profess
the
Scripture
to
be
your
rule
,
your
own
rule
shall
testifie
against
you
when
the
eternal
God
judges
you
,
and
they
who
witness
that
to
be
their
rule
which
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
walkes
up
in
the
life
of
the
Sdripture
more
then
you
all
;
and
you
are
proved
to
be
but
the
Iew
outward
,
who
boasts
of
the
Ordinances
from
the
Letter
,
but
persecutes
them
by
slanders
and
false
reproaches
,
who
witness
the
Substance
;
and
your
praise
is
only
of
men
,
and
not
of
God
;
and
the
same
woe
which
thou
pronounces
upon
us
will
fall
upon
thy
own
head
,
for
this
thy
grievous
slander
,
that
we
neglect
the
Law
,
and
teach
men
so
to
do
.
And
whereas
thou
brings
many
Scriptures
,
and
saith
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
.
I
answer
,
the
Scriptures
we
own
,
and
by
that
spirit
which
speaks
them
forth
,
we
witness
them
to
be
true
,
and
they
are
ours
;
and
though
you
say
they
are
the
savour
of
death
to
us
that
perish
,
yet
thou
art
found
a
Lyer
,
for
we
are
saved
out
of
the
perishing
state
,
and
death
is
destroyed
through
death
,
through
faith
,
and
thou
hast
diminished
from
that
Scripture
2
Tim.

false
Prophet
like
again
,
and
so
art
both
an
adder
and
a
diminisher
,
and
thou
mayst
read
thy
portion
in
Rev.
22.

,
19.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
know
this
thou
perverter
of
the
right
way
of
God
,
thou
shalt
be
judged
by
the
word
that
Christ
spake
.
I
answer
,
here
thou
sets
the
Scripture
in
the
room
of
Christ
,
and
art
the
perverter
of
the
right
way
of
God
thy self
,
for
the
Scripture
saith
,
all
judgement
is
commited
to
the
Son
,
and
the
Scripture
is
not
the
Son
;
and
thou
didst
say
and
now
again
writes
,
that
the
Scripture
shall
judge
the
world
;
and
so
I
charge
it
upon
thee
,
that
thou
art
a
Blasphemer
,
who
exalts
the
Scripture
above
the
Son
of
God
,
and
shalt
be
judged
by
the
Son
into
utter
darkness
,
and
into
the
pit
from
whence
thou
art
come
;
yet
this
I
testifie
,
he
that
receives
the
Son
rejecteth
not
those
words
which
was
spoken
by
him
;
though
thou
and
thy
Generation
Pharisee-like
may
make
a
profession
of
the
words
which
Christ
spoke
and
yet
reject
the
Son
,
and
all
to
whom
Christ
speaks
,
which
receives
him
not
,
shall
be
judged
by
the
word
which
he
speaks
;
for
he
speaks
eternally
,
which
shall
stand
eternally
;
but
when
did
he
speak
to
thee
?
For
this
I
do
declare
,
thou
mayst
have
those
words
which
he
spoke
,
and
yet
never
have
heard
his
word
nor
voice
;
as
the
Pharisees
had
those
words
,
which
God
spake
by
the
Prophets
,
but
never
had
heard
his
word
,
nor
seen
his
shape
.
Iohn

And
thou
sayst
quake
and
tremble
at
this
;
that
word
which
you
reject
and
dispise
sha●●
judge
you
at
the
last
day
;
and
sayst
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
and
bringst
Christs
words
,
and
the
Apostles
words
.
I
Answer
;
The
Lord
rebuke
thee
thou
Scorner
,
here
thou
hast
made
the
filthiness
of
thy
heart
known
,
for
out
of
the
abundance
thereof
thy
mouth
speaks
:
here
thou
art
seen
to
be
a
Scorner
;
quaking
and
trembling
we
own
,
it
is
that
which
the
holy
men
of
God
witnessed
,
but
here
be
a
Witness
against
thy self
,
that
thou
art
a
Scorner
of
their
conditions
:
what
hast
thou
to
do
to
talk
of
the
Scripture
,
who
art
scorning
that
which
it
declares
of
?
Here
thou
art
made
manifest
to
be
one
that
hath
the
form
but
denies
the
power
,
and
scorns
at
it
,
God
scornes
thee
,
thou
scornful
one
;
and
let
all
that
feare
the
Lord
depart
from
thee
,
and
see
thy
filthinesse
and
search
the
Scripture
whether
it
testifies
not
of
that
,
which
thou
scornes
at
,
and
makes
a
mock
upon
.
And
that
we
reject
and
despise
the
Scripture
and
the
words
which
Christ
spake
,
which
thou
accusest
us
of
,
this
is
another
lye
,
and
a
false
slander
,
for
the
Scriptures
we
own
in
their
place
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
God
sets
to
our
seale
that
they
are
true
,
but
that
they
shall
judge
the
world
we
do
deny
:
and
herein
thy
ignorance
doth
appear
,
and
that
thou
art
blinded
by
the
god
of
this
World
,
which
thou
wouldst
cast
upon
us
:
and
Christs
words
,
and
the
words
of
the
Apostles
shall
fall
upon
thy
own
head
,
for
vengeance
in
flames
of
fire
will
the
Lord
render
upon
thee
,
thou
Lyar
and
Slanderer
and
false
Accuser
,
who
art
in
disobedience
to
the
Gospel
of
God
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
,
and
it
shall
surely
come
to
pass
,
and
bringst
many
Scriptures
.
I
Answer
,
The
Scriptures
we
own
,
and
what
is
spoken
in
them
shall
be
fulfiled
;
but
thou
Lyar
,
when
did
God
speak
this
to
thee
?
the
judgements
pronounced
in
them
shall
fall
upon
thy
own
head
,
because
thou
art
guilty
of
the
same
iniquities
,
as
they
were
of
,
against
whom
these
Scriptures
were
declaed
.
And
wheras
thou
sayst
we
are
those
that
the
Lord
before
hath
spoken
of
in
his
word
,
(
and
therefore
no
marvel
we
would
not
have
men
to
read
it
)
and
cites
the
2.
Peter
Chap.
2.
I
answer
,
I
do
in
the
Presence
of
the
living
God
deny
thee
and
thy
false
assertion
,
but
it
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
;
thou
art
one
in
the
Generation
which
Christ
spake
of
,
and
that
was
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
who
hath
the
form
,
but
denies
the
power
,
as
they
had
:
And
I
charge
thee
again
with
a
Lye
in
thy
mouth
,
who
sayst
,
We
would
not
have
men
to
read
the
Scriptures
;
they
who
have
heard
us
shall
witness
against
thee
,
that
we
do
direct
to
search
the
Scripture
,
whether
our
doctrine
be
not
true
,
and
by
the
Scripture
shall
our
doctrine
be
tried
;
how
long
wilt
thou
utter
thy
lyes
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
;
the
Lord
will
plead
with
thee
,
thou
unclean
lying
spirit
;
and
that
which
thou
pronounces
against
us
,
shall
come
upon
thy self
:
And
thou
sayst
,
We
through
Coveteousness
make
merchandize
of
some
.
We
challenge
thee
,
and
all
the
City
of
London
to
prove
this
,
thou
lying
Serpent
,
God
shall
plead
with
thee
;
we
are
free
and
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
,
of
thy
false
accusations
,
and
have
neither
desired
,
nor
sought
after
any
mans
Mony
,
nor
Gold
,
nor
Apparel
,
God
is
our
Witness
,
and
many
in
this
City
knows
the
fame
,
though
thou
slanderously
,
as
an
Enemy
of
God
,
dost
accuse
us
;
but
I
challenge
thee
in
thy
reply
to
this
,
make
it
appear
what
thou
assertest
,
or
lay
thy
hand
upon
thy
mouth
,
and
let
shame
strike
thee
in
the
face
for
ever
;
I
charge
thee
,
that
if
thou
canst
,
make
it
appear
plainly
in
particular
,
(
and
do
not
darkly
accuse
us
)
what
those
damnable
heresies
are
,
which
we
bring
in
,
and
wherein
we
deny
the
Lord
,
and
what
our
pernicious
wayes
are
which
thou
falsly
and
slanderously
accuses
us
of
,
and
wherein
we
are
fleshly
,
and
despise
government
,
and
are
presumtuous
,
and
wherein
,
or
how
we
speak
evil
of
Dignities
,
and
wherein
we
are
as
natural
bruit
Beasts
,
and
what
these
things
are
,
we
speak
evil
of
,
which
we
know
not
,
and
what
our
swelling
word
of
vanity
are
,
and
whom
we
do
allure
through
the
lusts
of
the
flesh
,
and
through
much
wontonness
?
In
the
presence
of
the
Lord
I
challenge
thee
to
prove
the
particulars
of
thy
Accusations
,
and
not
to
slander
in
the
dark
;
though
such
as
these
there
were
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
who
were
turned
out
from
the
Light
,
and
the
Apostles
which
dwelt
in
the
Light
saw
them
;
and
such
a
Generation
there
is
now
,
they
are
seen
and
known
where
they
are
,
by
them
who
abides
in
the
Light
;
but
of
these
thy
false
slanders
upon
us
,
we
are
clear
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
that
portion
which
thou
wouldst
give
unto
us
must
thou
have
thy self
,
for
with
what
measure
thou
hast
meeted
,
it
shall
be
measured
to
thee
again
,
even
the
blackness
of
darkness
for
ever
,
and
the
Day
of
the
Vengeance
of
God
is
at
hand
against
thee
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
We
pretend
to
tremble
:
[
Its
true
,
we
pretend
the
example
of
Moses
]
and
thou
sayst
,
O
abominable
hypocrifie
and
dissimulation
,
will
that
justifie
your
shaking
your
hands
like
Idiots
,
and
your
raving
like
mad-men
?
Moses
was
a
〈◊〉
in
whom
the
fear
and
dread
of
the
Lord
was
,
who
kept
his
Word
,
but
you
despise
it
;
who
loved
the
Law
,
but
you
reject
it
.
I
answer
,
We
do
not
onely
pretend
to
tremble
,
but
oft
do
we
,
and
have
we
witnessed
it
,
by
the
mighty
Power
and
Dread
of
the
Lord
upon
us
,
and
we
walk
not
by
the
example
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
without
us
,
but
the
same
Power
we
witness
which
was
in
them
,
by
which
they
were
made
to
tremble
which
thou
scornest
and
deridest
,
and
calls
it
madness
:
The
holy
Men
of
God
were
counted
(
by
such
as
thou
art
)
mad-men
,
(
and
were
cast
out
of
their
Assemblies
)
which
trembled
at
the
Word
of
the
Lord
:
But
that
we
despise
the
Word
and
Law
of
God
,
here
thou
art
a
Lyar
again
,
and
the
Plagues
of
God
hang
over
thy
head
,
for
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
against
the
Innocent
;
the
same
fear
of
God
which
was
in
Moses
we
witness
,
and
no
other
,
and
thou
who
art
without
it
art
a
Heathen
;
and
Moses
and
Ieremiah
,
and
Habbakkuk
,
which
thou
speakest
of
were
our
example
,
who
walked
by
the
same
Spirit
,
and
served
the
Lord
by
the
same
Spirit
;
but
that
we
served
out
fleshly
lusts
,
which
here
again
thou
accusest
us
of
,
I
do
challenge
thee
to
prove
it
,
but
I
know
thou
canst
not
,
and
therefore
art
in
the
nature
of
the
Devil
,
accusing
the
Brethren
;
and
to
walk
by
tradition
we
deny
,
which
you
also
would
lay
to
our
charge
;
but
the
same
Spirit
by
which
they
were
acted
,
acts
us
the
same
way
according
to
its
measure
;
and
the
same
Light
in
which
they
walked
is
our
Light
,
and
this
Light
is
the
Light
of
Christ
within
us
,
and
not
without
us
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
its
true
,
If
we
served
the
Lord
,
and
kept
his
Word
,
it
would
make
us
to
tremble
,
as
it
doth
those
that
fear
him
,
but
we
have
rejected
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Word
which
he
hath
spoken
:
And
the
Lord
when
he
comes
to
shake
terribly
the
Earth
,
shall
give
us
our
Portion
in
the
Lake
that
burns
.
I
answer
,
Let
all
the
World
here
take
notice
of
thy
confusion
and
ignorance
which
utters
forth
it self
through
thee
;
thou
before
wast
scorning
of
trembling
,
and
now
thou
art
approving
of
it
;
and
if
it
be
they
that
tremple
which
serve
the
Lord
;
here
be
a
Witness
against
thy self
,
thou
servest
him
not
,
who
art
not
yet
come
to
tremble
,
but
art
in
thy
high
nature
,
above
the
fear
of
the
Lord
:
and
here
again
thou
art
found
a
false
Accuser
,
for
we
reject
not
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
nor
the
Word
which
he
hath
spoken
,
but
live
in
it
,
and
rejoyce
in
it
daily
,
for
in
it
is
our
hearts
delight
:
And
here
again
,
as
thou
hast
measured
to
us
,
it
shall
be
measured
unto
thee
,
when
the
Lord
God
arises
to
recompence
his
Enemies
,
thy
Portion
will
be
the
same
,
as
thou
hast
said
,
in
the
Lake
which
burns
with
Fire
and
Brimstone
,
And
now
a
few
words
in
answer
to
that
which
thou
calls
,
A
Caution
to
all
that
are
called
Saints
in
the
Nation
,
which
may
concern
all
people
.
I
answer
,
They
who
are
Saints
,
who
dwell
in
the
Light
,
and
walks
in
the
Light
,
do
discern
thee
to
be
no
Saint
,
neither
will
receive
any
caution
from
thee
,
but
will
testifie
against
thee
;
for
thy
Lyes
&
slanders
and
false
accusations
which
thy
Book
is
filled
with
,
and
herein
it
may
concern
all
people
,
that
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
be
reproved
and
laid
open
,
lest
they
receive
thy
Lyes
for
the
Truth
;
and
be
deceived
by
thy
subtil
Speeches
;
who
brings
the
Prophets
words
,
and
the
Apostles
words
,
wresting
them
,
and
falsly
applying
them
,
to
make
thy
Lyes
to
be
received
;
but
all
people
who
love
the
Light
wherewith
Christ
hath
enlightened
them
,
will
see
thee
,
and
deny
thee
,
and
turn
away
from
thee
,
as
having
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
Ye
may
rejoyce
that
you
live
to
s●e
,
not
only
the
mystery
of
Godliness
,
but
also
the
working
of
iniquity
in
the
fleshly
corrupt
and
sensual
minded
men
,
cal●d
Quakers
.
I
answer
,
That
name
Quakers
,
was
cast
upon
us
by
the
Heathen
;
through
their
scorn
and
derision
,
as
the
name
Christians
was
upon
the
Disciples
;
though
quaking
we
own
,
for
all
the
Holy
Men
of
God
witnessed
it
,
and
the
Holy
Scriptures
declares
of
it
;
and
here
again
thou
enviously
,
and
maliciously
,
castest
a
Slander
upon
us
,
Fleshly
,
Corrupt
,
and
Sensual-mindedness
,
and
the
working
of
the
mystery
of
Iniquity
,
is
destroyed
in
us
by
the
mighty
Power
of
God
made
manifest
in
Jesus
Christ
,
which
takes
away
sin
;
to
the
praise
of
the
living
God
I
speak
,
in
clearing
the
Innocent
from
thy
false
Slanders
,
and
it
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
,
fleshly
corrupt
,
and
sensual-minded
,
and
the
working
of
the
mystery
of
iniquity
;
And
herein
I
prove
thee
to
be
so
by
thy
Fruits
,
thy
Lyes
,
and
false
Reproaches
,
and
envious
false
Accusations
,
which
is
the
fruits
of
the
flesh
,
and
of
corrupt
sensual-mindedness
,
which
fruits
do
appear
in
this
thy
Writing
,
and
as
for
the
Mystery
of
Godliness
,
it
is
hidden
from
thee
,
and
in
that
mind
and
nature
thou
shalt
never
know
it
;
for
thou
livest
in
the
sight
of
thy
own
Pollution
,
and
of
thy
carnal
Ordinances
,
and
not
in
the
injoyment
of
the
Mystery
of
Christ
,
which
is
Godliness
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
Ye
may
rejoyce
,
and
in
nothing
be
terrified
,
because
the
Scriptures
did
foretel
of
such
,
and
is
fulfilled
in
these
men
:
And
thou
bringest
many
Scriptures
,
where
Christ
and
the
Apostles
prophesied
of
the
coming
in
of
false
Prophets
,
and
Teachers
.
I
Answer
,
Though
ye
do
now
rejoyce
,
yet
your
joy
shall
be
turned
into
sorrow
and
howling
,
and
the
Lord
hath
said
it
;
and
the
day
of
terror
will
overtake
you
,
wherein
your
hearts
shall
fail
you
for
fear
,
and
your
foundation
shall
be
removed
;
and
its
true
,
that
the
Scripture
doth
foretel
of
us
,
and
is
witnessed
in
us
,
That
all
the
Lord's
Children
should
be
taught
of
the
Lord
;
And
that
the
Lord
would
gather
his
Flock
out
of
the
mouths
of
all
dumb
Shepherds
,
&c.
and
according
to
our
growth
up
in
the
Life
of
the
Scriptures
,
they
are
fulfilled
in
us
;
but
false
Prophets
we
do
deny
,
though
all
those
Scriptures
which
thou
hast
set
down
we
own
to
be
prophesies
of
false
Prophets
,
those
false
prophets
which
Christ
prophesied
of
,
came
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
they
saw
them
comming
in
then
,
1
Iohn
2.
18.
And
as
all
these
Scriptures
testifies
which
thou
hast
cited
;
and
since
the
Apostles
,
dayes
,
hath
been
a
great
Apostacy
,
and
not
a
true
Church
of
Christ
could
be
found
,
and
ever
since
hath
the
same
Generation
of
false
Prophets
stood
under
several
forms
and
appearances
,
deceiving
the
Nations
:
But
now
the
pure
Light
of
Christ
shines
,
discovering
to
them
,
who
walk
in
the
Light
,
who
they
are
,
and
daily
more
and
more
clearly
shall
they
be
seen
,
and
thou
wilt
be
found
in
their
number
,
who
art
a
cursed
child
,
in
whom
the
son
of
perdition
is
exalted
,
which
utters
forth
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
sensually
,
and
make
it
manifest
to
all
,
that
thou
hast
not
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
are
separated
from
it
,
in
self-seperation
which
is
abomination
unto
God
,
and
must
be
scattered
by
him
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
Seeing
it
is
so
,
let
you
be
filled
with
boldness
,
and
let
you
contend
against
those
ungodly
Ones
which
are
now
risen
.
I
answer
,
ungodliness
we
deny
,
and
your
boldness
shall
the
Lord
turn
into
weakness
,
and
faintness
,
and
your
contendings
against
us
shall
not
prosper
,
for
this
is
our
heritage
;
every
Tongue
that
riseth
up
in
judgment
shall
be
condemned
;
you
shall
all
be
scattered
and
driven
away
as
Chaff
before
the
Wind
,
who
sets
yourselves
to
contend
against
the
Truth
;
for
that
which
is
now
risen
shall
confound
you
all
.
And
whereas
thou
bringest
many
Scriptures
,
which
were
Exhortations
of
the
Apostle
to
the
Saints
,
with
exhorting
thy
Brethren
.
I
answer
,
The
Scriptures
I
do
own
,
and
that
Spirit
which
spake
them
forth
I
witness
,
but
thou
art
an
Enemy
to
the
Power
of
them
;
though
thou
hast
the
Form
of
Truth
,
thy
lying
and
false
accusing
hath
made
thee
appear
to
be
an
Enemy
to
the
Life
which
the
holy
Men
of
God
lived
in
,
and
so
hast
cleared
thy self
from
those
Scriptures
which
were
written
to
the
Saints
,
and
must
own
those
which
were
written
to
the
World
;
The
Lyar
must
be
cast
into
the
Lake
;
the
Wicked
must
be
turned
into
Hell
;
and
such
as
these
thou
must
own
to
belong
unto
thee
,
and
these
are
thy
Scriptures
which
thou
hast
right
unto
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
We
talk
of
high
enjoyments
and
great
revelations
without
,
above
and
beyond
the
Scripture
,
and
that
we
talk
of
a
Light
which
is
besides
the
Scripture
,
but
its
deep
,
and
thick
darkness
;
and
what
hath
such
lights
led
men
unto
?
even
contempt
of
God
,
and
of
all
Righteousness
,
I
answer
,
Here
again
thou
art
found
a
Lyar
,
and
an
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
,
for
what
we
do
declare
,
the
Scripture
witnesseth
to
the
same
,
and
we
speak
of
nothing
but
what
is
declared
of
in
the
Scripture
by
the
Holy
Men
of
God
,
and
neither
without
it
,
nor
above
,
or
beyond
it
,
do
we
speak
:
I
challenge
thee
(
to
prove
what
thou
hast
asserted
)
and
all
the
City
of
London
,
whether
we
have
spoken
or
declared
any
thing
,
but
what
the
Scriptures
bears
witness
to
;
and
the
Light
which
we
declare
of
,
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
the
Scripture
saith
hath
enlightened
every
one
that
comes
into
the
World
;
and
it
is
not
besides
the
Scripture
,
so
as
contrary
to
it
,
but
the
Scripture
bears
witness
of
the
Light
:
And
here
I
charge
thee
with
Blasphemy
,
who
calls
the
Pure
Light
of
Christ
thick
Darkness
,
and
that
the
Light
of
Christ
(
which
is
the
Light
which
we
declare
of
)
hath
led
men
,
or
leads
any
to
contemn
God
,
or
his
Ordinances
,
or
Righteousness
;
let
shame
strike
thee
in
the
face
,
thou
impudent
one
,
who
blasphemously
sayes
,
that
the
Light
of
Christ
is
thick
Darkness
,
and
leads
into
contempt
of
God
;
let
the
Light
in
thy
own
Conscience
condemn
thee
,
thou
Enemy
of
God
;
for
thy
Lyes
,
and
Slanders
,
and
Blasphemy
,
which
in
this
thy
Book
thou
hast
uttered
.
And
whereas
,
Thou
exhortest
to
labour
to
see
an
excellency
in
Christ
,
in
the
Word
of
Christ
,
and
in
the
Church
and
Ordinances
of
Christ
.
I
answer
,
For
the
simple
Ones
sake
,
that
they
may
not
be
deceived
;
none
ever
shall
see
any
excellency
in
those
things
,
but
who
owns
and
walks
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
lets
every
one
see
themselves
first
;
and
your
talking
of
the
same
,
and
report
of
Christ
,
and
of
his
Word
and
Ordinance
,
is
not
to
know
the
excellency
of
those
things
,
for
death
in
you
talks
of
the
same
,
but
the
thing
in
Substance
you
are
ignorant
of
;
and
you
who
stumble
at
the
Light
wherewith
Christ
lighteneth
every
one
;
are
above
the
Door
,
which
is
the
entrance
unto
the
life
of
these
things
:
And
so
I
exhort
all
to
mind
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
to
walk
in
it
,
and
it
will
lead
unto
Christ
from
whence
the
Light
comes
,
and
it
will
lead
to
the
fulfilling
of
Christs
Words
,
and
to
the
one
Bread
,
and
to
the
one
Baptism
;
and
the
Light
is
the
Door
and
Entrance
unto
the
Life
of
those
things
:
But
you
who
hate
the
Light
,
and
deny
it
to
be
in
every
one
,
hath
but
the
Husk
and
outward
Declaration
of
those
things
,
and
are
without
the
Life
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
They
that
are
of
God
will
hear
John
,
Peter
,
and
Paul
,
and
the
rest
that
were
the
Servants
of
Christ
,
not
the
fleshly
conceits
of
those
,
or
any
other
men
;
and
Christ
Sheep
hear
his
Voyce
,
and
a
Stranger
they
will
not
hear
.
I
answer
,
They
that
are
of
God
,
do
own
the
writings
of
all
the
Servants
of
Christ
;
but
many
may
profess
their
words
,
as
the
Pharisees
did
the
Prophets
words
,
and
as
thou
dost
now
,
and
yet
not
be
of
God
,
but
children
of
the
Devil
;
but
that
our
conceits
are
fleshly
,
I
do
deny
,
for
all
conceits
of
the
flesh
we
deny
,
and
bears
witness
against
,
and
it
shall
stand
for
thy
own
condition
,
and
thy
voice
is
the
voice
of
a
stranger
,
and
they
that
are
of
God
will
not
follow
it
:
though
thou
bringst
the
Saints
words
in
thy
mouth
,
as
the
Devil
did
unto
Christ
;
yet
in
the
Light
of
Christ
thou
art
seen
,
and
comprehended
,
and
from
the
Light
of
Christ
answered
,
and
by
it
judged
to
be
without
the
life
of
those
Scriptures
which
thou
speakst
of
,
and
they
are
to
thee
but
as
an
empty
sound
.
And
whereas
thou
cites
many
more
Scriptures
,
which
are
exhortations
of
the
Apostles
to
the
Church
,
and
exhorts
thy
Brethren
with
them
.
To
which
I
answer
as
before
.
The
Scriptures
I
do
own
,
but
,
to
thee
,
thou
envious
man
,
they
do
not
belong
,
for
as
in
this
thy
writing
thou
art
proved
a
Lyar
,
and
a
Scorner
,
and
a
Slanderer
,
and
a
false
Accuser
,
and
a
Blasphemer
;
out
of
thy
own
mouth
,
be
a
Witness
against
thy self
,
and
let
all
thy
whole
Assembly
bear
witness
against
thee
,
that
the
Scriptures
which
were
spoken
to
the
Saints
who
walked
in
the
light
and
had
denyed
ungodliness
,
do
not
belong
unto
thee
who
art
an
hater
of
the
light
,
and
lives
in
the
pollutions
of
the
world
;
but
the
Scriptures
will
surely
be
fulfilled
upon
thee
,
The
wicked
shall
be
turned
into
Hell
,
and
the
Lyar
shall
have
his
portion
in
the
Lake
,
and
he
that
works
abomination
is
to
be
troden
in
the
winepress
of
the
wrath
of
God
without
the
City
,
and
such
like
.
And
now
somthing
in
answer
to
some
things
in
the
Epistle
to
the
Reader

Whereas
thou
and
the
rest
of
you
there
say
,
although
the
light
hath
appeared
,
yet
there
is
a
Generation
of
men
in
the
world
,
that
do
hate
the
light
,
and
endeavour
to
put
it
out
,
crying
against
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
;
it
s
a
dead
letter
,
and
against
the
form
of
doctrine
therein
contained
.
To
which
I
answer
,
It
is
true
,
the
light
hath
appeared
;
Christ
who
is
the
Light
lightneth
every
one
that
comes
into
the
world
;
which
light
hath
appeared
in
every
mans
conscience
;
and
there
is
a
Generation
which
hates
the
light
,
and
you
are
of
that
Generation
which
say
,
every
man
hath
not
the
light
,
and
calls
the
Light
of
Christ
thick
darkness
,
and
endeavour
to
put
it
out
;
and
here
you
have
read
your
own
condition
,
though
you
make
a
large
profession
of
the
Scriptures
(
which
is
not
the
light
,
but
words
declared
from
the
Light
)
as
the
Iewes
did
profess
the
Prophets
words
,
but
persecuted
Christ
,
and
spoke
against
him
,
who
was
the
light
and
substance
of
the
Prophets
words
:
and
if
you
know
any
who
cry
against
the
Scripture
,
and
against
the
doctrine
therein
contained
,
we
cry
and
declare
against
such
,
for
the
Scripture
we
own
in
its
place
to
be
a
true
declaration
of
God
,
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
Saints
conditions
,
but
they
are
not
the
light
,
but
Christ
is
the
light
,
as
themselves
bear
witness
,
nor
are
they
the
Saints
guide
,
but
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
forth
,
as
they
themselves
bear
testimony
,
neither
were
the
Scriptures
given
forth
to
give
your
own
imaginations
and
suppositions
upon
,
but
they
themselves
are
doctrine
,
and
are
as
they
speak
,
he
that
hath
the
same
spirit
which
speak
them
forth
,
reads
them
and
understands
them
,
and
none
else
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
Lest
that
simple
plain
meaning
men
should
be
kept
in
Babels
darkness
,
or
the
enlightned
fall
into
the
errour
of
the
wicked
,
for
that
reason
your
Book
came
to
publick
view
.
I
answer
,
truly
you
are
deceived
,
who
think
to
gain
into
your
form
,
the
simple
,
plain
meaning
men
by
Lies
,
and
false
Slanders
and
false
Accusation
;
who
are
simple
and
plain
unto
God
,
will
descern
your
deceits
,
and
how
falsly
you
have
accused
the
innocent
,
and
will
see
you
to
be
in
Babels
darkness
;
and
who
walks
in
in
the
light
wherewith
they
are
enlightned
will
see
you
to
be
in
the
errour
of
the
wicked
,
and
out
of
the
Truth
;
and
it
is
well
for
the
Truths
sake
,
that
your
Book
came
forth
,
that
thereby
your
filthiness
and
deceitfulness
,
and
enviousness
might
be
laid
open
to
the
simple
.
And
truly
I
say
unto
you
,
you
have
,
and
will
miss
of
your
end
in
putting
forth
this
Book
of
yours
.
And
whereas
you
say
you
shall
be
willing
at
any
time
to
vindicate
every
conclusion
therein
contained
against
any
that
shall
oppose
.
I
answer
,
I
challenge
you
all
in
this
particular
to
prove
those
accusations
which
you
have
laid
to
our
charge
whom
you
call
Quakers
,
in
many
particulars
,
which
before
I
have
demanded
;
what
they
are
is
before
spoken
of
.
And
whereas
you
say
,
you
account
that
light
within
(
not
witnessed
by
the
Scripture
without
)
which
some
so
much
talk
of
,
to
be
deep
darkness
.
I
answer
,
if
you
know
any
who
speak
of
any
Light
which
the
Scripture
doth
not
witness
of
,
we
with
you
freely
declare
against
such
,
and
such
a
light
is
darkness
,
but
the
Light
of
Christ
which
we
speak
of
,
which
hath
enlightned
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
world
,
I
hope
you
are
not
so
impudent
,
but
you
will
acknowledge
that
the
Scriptures
speaks
of
this
light
;
and
dare
not
deny
,
but
that
the
Scripture
witnesses
that
Christ
is
the
Light
of
the
word
;
for
as
I
said
,
we
freely
give
way
,
and
desire
that
all
might
search
the
Scripture
,
whether
these
things
be
not
so
as
we
declare
.
And
whereas
you
say
,
and
exhort
to
let
the
Scripture
be
the
rule
of
faith
and
practice
.
I
Answ.
Here
you
would
alwayes
keep
people
in
darkeness
,
under
your
teaching
,
and
would
make
void
the
new
Covenant
which
is
the
Law
written
in
the
heart
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
put
in
the
inward
parts
,
to
be
the
rule
and
guide
of
the
Saints
;
for
who
walks
by
the
rule
without
them
,
and
teaches
men
so
to
do
,
would
make
void
the
Covenant
of
life
and
peace
,
where
the
Teacher
is
not
removed
into
a
corner
,
which
Teacher
all
that
have
faith
and
an
holy
Conversation
do
witness
,
which
teaches
not
contrary
to
what
the
Scripture
speak
but
is
a
teaching
and
fulfilling
of
the
Scripture
,
and
an
establishing
of
it
,
though
thou
and
many
may
profess
the
teaching
of
the
Scripture
and
may
in
your
own
wills
,
conform
unto
it
in
the
outward
appearance
,
as
the
Pharisees
did
,
and
yet
be
but
Hypocrites
and
deceived
as
they
were
;
and
I
say
again
,
that
faith
was
before
the
Scripture
was
written
,
which
faith
is
declared
of
in
the
Scripture
,
which
faith
comes
as
is
manifested
by
hearing
of
the
word
preached
,
which
word
is
even
in
the
mouth
and
in
the
heart
,
if
you
have
an
ear
you
may
hear
;
and
now
I
advise
you
all
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
to
cease
striving
and
contending
against
the
truth
;
for
verily
the
stone
which
is
cut
out
of
the
mountain
without
hands
,
will
dash
your
image
of
many
mixtures
to
peices
,
and
it
falling
upon
you
,
will
grinde
you
to
powder
,
and
your
conforming
the
outward
man
,
to
an
outward
thing
,
and
teaching
men
so
to
do
,
and
limitting
and
tying
the
Holy
one
to
a
visible
thing
,
will
not
cover
you
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
:
nay
verily
,
though
concerning
the
Scripture
without
,
you
may
walk
blameless
,
yet
one
thing
will
be
found
lacking
,
even
the
cross
of
Jesus
Christ
,
by
which
all
sin
is
crucified
in
them
who
walk
in
it
;
and
I
say
unto
you
,
that
your
covering
is
to
narrow
,
and
it
will
not
hide
your
secret
parts
:
for
in
the
eternall
Light
of
Christ
you
are
seen
and
comprehended
,
your
beginning
,
your
time
,
and
your
end
;
for
though
you
have
the
Scriptures
,
and
Jewish
like
,
walks
up
in
the
outward
appearance
of
them
,
crying
up
the
Ordinances
and
Churches
,
yet
your
praise
is
of
men
,
and
not
of
God
,
for
you
are
enemies
to
the
life
of
the
Scriptures
,
as
is
made
appear
by
your
many
Lyes
and
Slanders
against
us
,
which
you
have
uttered
;
and
I
say
return
your
minds
every
one
within
to
that
in
your
own
consciences
which
reproves
you
in
secret
for
your
secret
iniquities
,
it
will
let
you
see
where
your
hearts
are
,
and
how
far
they
are
mortified
to
the
world
,
and
the
love
of
it
,
and
this
light
wherewith
every
one
of
you
is
enlightned
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
it
is
the
Lords
true
Witness
and
shall
witness
for
him
eternally
against
all
whose
deeds
are
evil
,
who
walk
in
disobedience
of
it
;
and
all
who
love
it
,
and
walk
in
it
,
it
leads
unto
Christ
,
and
into
all
purity
and
holiness
and
uprightness
of
heart
towards
God
and
man
;
and
this
light
leads
unto
justification
,
all
t●e●
who
are
taught
by
it
;
and
her●
is
your
Teacher
,
loving
it
;
and
your
condemnation
eternally
,
continuing
to
hate
it
.
And
thus
I
have
answered
thy
Book
,
and
the
Truth
is
witnessed
,
and
many
false
Lyes
and
false
Accusations
denied
and
testified
against
,
and
thus
I
rest
,
waiting
for
an
answer
to
clear
thy self
(
if
thou
art
able
)
of
those
things
which
I
ha●e
denied
,
which
thou
hast
charged
upon
us
,
for
God
is
my
Witness
,
this
I
do
desire
,
that
Truth
may
be
made
manifest
and
imbraced
,
and
Deceit
and
Errour
discovered
and
denied
.
By
one
who
is
a
Witness
,
against
the
Deceits
of
the
World

Burrough

TO
THE
1655
Camp
of
the
Lord
IN
ENGLAND
.
TO
all
you
Called
,
Chosen
,
Elected
,
and
Beloved
of
the
Lord
,
who
are
of
the
Circumcision
made
without
hands
,
of
the
Seed
of
Abraham
;
who
are
Iews
indeed
,
not
after
the
flesh
but
in
the
Spirit
;
unto
whom
belongs
the
Everlasting
Promise
and
Covenant
,
which
God
hath
,
and
is
fulfilling
in
you
,
and
establishing
with
you
:
We
your
Fellow-Citizens
of
the
Heavenly
Ierusalem
which
is
the
Mother
of
us
all
;
and
of
the
same
Body
,
and
of
the
same
Seed
,
and
same
Birth
,
begotten
and
brought
forth
by
the
immortal
Word
of
Life
,
which
lives
for
ever
,
do
send
greeting
,
and
do
imbrace
you
in
the
Arms
of
our
Beloved
,
who
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
God
blessed
for
ever
:
You
who
are
called
Quakers
,
who
are
so
,
not
onely
in
word
,
nor
in
shew
,
but
in
Life
and
in
Power
;
whom
God
hath
called
&
chosen
to
place
his
Name
in
,
and
to
take
up
his
Habitation
among
,
above
all
the
Families
of
the
Earth
;
the
Tabernacle
of
God
is
with
you
,
and
his
Dwelling-place
is
among
you
,
and
onely
among
you
is
God
known
,
and
his
Name
is
great
in
your
Assemblies
.
We
who
are
of
the
same
Root
and
Off-spring
,
do
bring
in
our
witness
,
and
do
set
to
our
seal
,
That
God
of
a
truth
is
with
you
,
and
among
you
;
and
he
is
the
God
of
the
living
that
answers
by
Fire
;
he
is
,
I
am
,
and
there
is
none
besides
him
,
the
First
and
the
Last
,
the
Beginning
and
the
End
of
all
things
.
Praise
him
for
ever
ye
Redeemed
of
him
;
lift
up
your
heads
,
your
Redemer
is
come
;
clap
your
hands
,
and
shout
for
joy
,
and
let
the
everlasting
Praises
of
God
be
in
your
mouthes
for
ever
and
ever
:
Exalt
ye
his
Name
above
all
gods
,
and
glorifie
him
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Heathen
,
and
let
his
marvellous
Works
stand
upon
Record
from
Generation
to
Generation
.
Wonderful
hath
his
Work
been
among
you
,
and
that
my
soul
knows
right
well
;
you
that
were
scattered
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
Day
,
and
were
a
prey
for
the
wild
Beasts
of
the
Forrest
,
and
were
driven
away
as
lost
Sheep
in
the
Wilderness
,
hath
God
gathered
into
the
Fold
,
to
lie
down
by
the
Springs
of
Living
Water
in
fat
Pastures
for
evermore
.
Your
Bread
is
sure
,
and
your
Waters
never
fails
;
a
Feast
of
fat
things
is
made
unto
you
,
of
Wines
well
refined
;
the
Lord
is
become
the
Lot
of
your
Inheritance
,
and
the
Portion
of
your
Cup
forever
.
Your
Crowns
have
you
laid
down
at
the
Feet
of
the
Lamb
,
and
your
lives
and
liberties
have
not
been
dear
unto
you
;
and
let
this
never
repent
you
,
for
now
the
Lord
will
exalt
you
,
and
Crown
you
with
Immortal
Glory
.
The
Everlasting
Day-Star
is
risen
among
you
,
which
gives
Light
unto
the
Nations
;
and
the
light
of
the
Sun
is
as
the
Light
of
seven
dayes
;
and
there
is
no
need
of
a
Candle
in
your
Dwelling
,
but
the
Lamb
is
the
light
thereof
;
fair
as
the
Sun
,
clear
as
the
Moon
;
yea
,
it
is
he
which
was
dead
and
is
alive
,
and
behold
he
lives
for
evermore
.
Praise
him
all
ye
people
,
praise
ye
him
ye
holy
Host
;
let
all
that
hath
breath
praise
him
for
ever
.
Who
can
express
his
noble
Acts
?
And
who
can
declare
his
wondrous
Works
?
Oh
,
my
Soul
is
ravished
,
and
my
heart
is
overcome
!
let
me
speak
that
I
may
be
refreshed
,
and
let
me
declare
his
Wonders
among
all
People
.
The
Lord
is
our
King
,
our
Judge
,
and
our
Law-giver
,
and
our
Rock
of
defence
;
Just
is
he
in
his
Judgments
,
who
hath
avenged
us
of
our
Enemies
;
Mercy
and
Judgment
meet
,
Righteousness
and
Peace
do
imbrace
each
other
.
Rejoyce
for
evermore
ye
Saints
of
the
most
High
,
and
tell
it
to
your
Children
,
that
they
may
tell
it
to
an
other
Generation
what
the
Lord
hath
wrought
among
you
,
and
what
his
Hand
hath
brought
to
pass
.
Salvation
is
come
,
and
plentious
Redemption
,
and
the
dead
hath
heard
the
Voyce
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
liveth
.
Let
sorrow
and
mourning
flee
away
,
and
be
ye
comforted
ye
that
have
mourned
,
and
be
ye
refreshed
ye
that
have
been
weary
;
for
God
hath
opened
the
Everlasting
Fountain
,
and
the
Streams
run
pleasantly
,
which
refresh
the
City
of
our
God
;
He
is
come
and
his
Reward
is
with
him
,
even
he
for
whom
we
have
waited
;
this
is
he
,
who
is
our
Life
,
our
Peace
,
and
our
exceeding
great
Reward
;
the
Light
of
the
World
is
our
Saviour
,
but
the
Worlds
Condemner
;
our
Peace
,
but
the
Worlds
Torment
:
Glad-tidings
glad
tidings
,
the
acceptable
year
is
come
;
praise
ye
the
Lord
ye
Sons
and
daughters
of
Sion
,
beautifull
is
your
dwelling
place
,
and
aboundeth
with
pleasant
fruit
,
for
you
are
digged
and
pruned
and
enclosed
a
Garden
of
lovely
branches
;
let
the
wonders
of
the
Lord
never
be
forgotten
,
nor
his
works
never
pass
out
of
your
remembrance
,
for
he
hath
wounded
and
healed
,
killed
and
made
alive
,
raised
the
dead
,
and
slain
the
living
,
brought
out
of
captivity
and
bound
with
chains
,
gathered
and
scattered
,
brought
low
and
exalted
,
saved
,
and
condemned
;
all
this
hath
your
eye
seen
,
and
your
ear
heard
;
and
the
Heavens
and
the
Earth
hath
been
burned
as
a
scroule
,
and
the
indignation
of
the
Lord
you
have
born
:
But
the
Winter
is
past
,
and
the
Summer
is
come
,
and
the
Turtle
dove
,
and
the
singing
of
Birds
is
heard
in
our
Land
.
O
magnifie
his
Name
for
ever
;
you
are
made
vessels
of
honour
wherein
the
everlasting
Treasure
abideth
,
which
never
waxeth
old
;
the
voyce
of
the
Bridegroom
is
heard
among
you
,
and
how
can
you
have
any
more
sorrow
?
instead
of
weeping
,
rejoycing
;
and
instead
of
heaviness
of
heart
,
fulness
of
everlasting
joy
:
the
Lord
hath
fulfilled
his
promise
,
and
made
good
his
word
,
and
his
Law
and
Covenant
is
with
you
;
and
from
you
doth
the
Law
go
forth
,
and
the
powerfull
Word
of
Life
,
and
Death
soundeth
out
of
your
Dwelling
and
you
are
Gods
only
witnesses
to
testifie
of
him
in
the
presence
of
all
Nations
,
some
of
you
by
suffering
,
and
some
by
declaring
:
Oh
endless
love
,
and
life
,
and
riches
,
an
eternal
Crown
is
upon
your
heads
,
and
your
suffering
(
which
hath
not
been
a
little
)
is
not
worthy
to
be
compared
with
the
glory
that
is
and
shall
be
revealed
.
I
speak
to
you
who
have
an
ear
to
hear
,
my
soul
and
heart
is
comforted
in
you
,
in
the
midst
of
my
burdens
and
sufferings
,
who
is
separated
from
you
outwardly
,
yet
joyned
and
united
to
you
by
the
Spirit
which
is
unlimited
,
which
doth
comprehend
all
Nations
:
yea
I
behold
your
beauty
afar
off
and
my
heart
is
ravished
with
it
,
and
I
am
sick
of
love
:
let
his
works
praise
him
forever
,
which
he
hath
wrought
,
for
his
Dwelling
is
with
you
in
the
Light
,
unto
which
no
mortaleye
can
approach
.
The
new
Ierusalem
is
come
down
from
Heaven
,
and
no
unclean
can
enter
:
but
you
are
made
white
with
the
blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
purged
as
silver
,
and
purified
as
gold
in
the
burning
,
and
unto
you
an
entrance
is
given
,
and
the
way
is
prepared
,
and
the
marriage
of
the
Lamb
is
come
,
and
his
wife
hath
made
her self
ready
,
and
the
Way
of
the
Lord
is
pleasant
to
you
,
and
his
Commands
are
not
grievous
;
no
unclean
thing
can
pass
over
,
nor
no
Lyons
Whelps
can
tread
therein
,
but
it
is
called
the
way
of
holiness
,
where
only
the
ransomed
of
the
Lord
do
walk
;
even
your
Mountain
is
established
upon
the
top
of
all
hills
,
and
all
Nations
shall
flow
unto
it
.
Sing
praises
for
ever
,
for
the
Kingdom
of
endless
peace
is
come
,
which
passeth
understanding
,
and
of
glory
,
which
on
mortall
eye
can
behold
,
and
of
life
which
no
flesh
can
live
in
.
Oh
my
beloved
,
come
up
hither
and
I
will
shew
you
what
God
hath
done
from
you
,
he
hath
rebuked
the
Sea
,
and
driven
back
the
floods
of
waters
which
compassed
you
about
,
and
he
hath
scattered
your
enemies
with
a
whirlwind
,
and
be
hath
given
you
to
feed
upon
the
flesh
of
Kings
,
and
of
Captaines
.
Can
you
call
to
mind
the
doings
of
your
God
,
and
his
marvellous
works
brought
to
pass
,
and
not
cry
out
in
praises
for
evermore
,
O
drink
and
be
refreshed
,
and
eat
and
be
satisfied
for
ever
,
and
let
your
soul
delight
it self
in
fatness
;
the
planting
of
the
Lord
you
are
,
and
his
own
purchased
Possession
;
he
hath
separated
you
from
the
womb
,
and
hath
called
you
out
of
kindreds
,
and
ye
are
the
Royal
Seed
of
the
Off-spring
of
the
Lord
Almighty
,
and
all
Nations
shall
call
you
blessed
.
And
O
thou
North
of
England
,
who
art
counted
as
desolate
and
barren
,
and
reckoned
the
least
of
the
Nations
,
yet
out
of
thee
did
the
Branch
spring
,
and
the
Star
arise
which
gives
light
unto
all
the
Regions
round
about
;
in
thee
the
Son
of
Righteousness
appeared
with
wounding
and
with
healing
;
and
out
of
thee
the
terror
of
the
Lord
proceeded
,
which
makes
the
Earth
to
tremble
and
be
removed
;
out
of
thee
Kings
,
Princes
and
Prophets
did
come
forth
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
most
High
,
which
uttered
their
voices
as
thunders
,
and
laid
their
swords
on
the
necks
of
their
Enemies
and
never
returned
empty
from
the
slaughter
.
Though
I
be
as
by
the
waters
of
Babylon
,
in
a
strange
Land
;
and
as
a
Pilgrim
and
Stranger
destitute
,
but
not
forsaken
;
as
dying
but
behold
I
live
;
yet
if
I
forget
thee
,
let
my
right
hand
forget
her
cunning
,
and
let
my
Name
be
blotted
out
of
the
Book
of
Life
.
O
how
I
love
the
holy
Seed
which
in
my
eye
is
precious
!
No
man
can
hinder
my
boasting
of
thee
,
for
I
am
sealed
among
you
in
the
Record
of
eternal
life
,
to
be
read
among
you
in
the
light
where
I
am
known
to
you
,
and
where
my
unity
stands
with
you
in
the
love
and
life
,
which
never
changes
,
and
you
are
my
Mother
,
and
my
Brother
and
Sister
,
who
doth
the
Will
of
my
Father
;
Our
God
is
a
consuming
fire
,
and
his
Habitation
is
compast
about
with
dread
and
terror
.
The
Heathen
shall
see
and
fear
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
shall
tremble
;
o●●
God
is
everlasting
burnings
,
and
it
is
tempestuous
round
about
his
Throne
,
and
he
reigns
for
evermore
;
and
though
thou
be
despised
and
set
at
nought
,
and
counted
as
the
off-scouring
of
all
things
,
and
the
scorn
of
the
Heathen
,
yet
thy
King
reign●
upon
Mount
Sion
,
and
if
he
utter
his
voice
all
flesh
shall
tremble
,
and
before
him
thy
Adversaries
shall
fall
,
and
thy
Persecutors
shall
be
confounded
,
for
tho●
shalt
never
be
forgotten
of
thy
God
,
but
with
his
arm
will
he
defend
thee
,
and
compass
thee
about
,
and
thy
seed
shall
be
increased
,
and
thou
Ierusalem
shalt
be
made
the
praise
of
the
whole
Earth
,
for
among
you
is
laid
the
sure
foundation
,
and
the
tried
stone
,
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
of
the
world
,
in
whom
you
have
believed
,
which
unto
the
Nations
is
a
stumbling
stone
;
but
unto
you
precious
:
bring
in
your
testimony
,
and
set
to
your
seal
;
is
there
salvation
in
any
other
,
but
in
him
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
?
Nay
there
is
no
redemption
wrought
but
by
him
,
nor
no
deliverance
but
through
him
;
his
is
the
Kingdom
,
the
Power
and
the
Glory
,
and
he
is
become
all
in
all
;
and
you
are
no
more
of
this
World
,
but
are
of
the
chosen
Generation
,
and
of
the
royal
Priesthood
,
a
people
,
Redeemed
,
unto
whom
there
is
none
like
among
the
thousands
of
Israel
and
Iudah
,
whose
God
is
the
Lord
,
whose
Saviour
is
the
Prince
of
Righteousness
,
who
covers
your
heads
in
the
day
of
Battel
,
and
smites
your
enemies
in
the
hinder
parts
;
and
wounds
them
in
the
fore-head
.
And
now
my
beloved
,
let
his
Name
be
had
in
remembrance
for
evermore
,
and
let
his
praises
be
declared
throughout
Ages
to
come
,
and
walk
you
worthy
of
his
everlasting
love
,
wherewith
he
hath
loved
you
more
then
your
brethren
;
let
his
Name
be
exalted
by
righteousness
,
by
purity
,
and
by
a
blameless
life
,
and
bring
forth
the
fruits
of
righteousness
and
peace
,
and
let
your
light
shine
forth
into
the
world
,
and
your
good
works
abound
plentifully
;
for
you
are
as
a
City
set
on
a
hill
,
and
as
a
lighted
candle
to
shine
abroad
;
and
are
created
unto
good
works
.
Let
faith
,
hope
,
love
and
unity
be
increased
among
you
;
and
let
mercy
and
judgement
and
equity
flow
down
and
be
established
for
ever
;
never
to
be
removed
.
Let
joy
,
and
long-suffering
and
meekness
and
temperance
spring
out
;
and
be
you
perfect
as
your
heavenly
Father
is
perfect
.
Stand
upon
your
watch
Tower
,
and
be
not
shaken
nor
drawn
aside
to
follow
any
other
gods
,
nor
to
bow
to
any
other
Image
,
nor
joyn
your selves
to
strangers
,
and
mingle
not
your
seed
with
the
adulterous
Generation
,
nor
take
not
,
nor
give
not
in
marriage
with
them
;
but
keep
your selves
from
the
Idols
of
the
Heathen
,
be
not
defiled
with
them
;
but
abide
in
your
strength
,
you
know
where
it
lies
,
by
which
you
may
work
good
,
and
be
perserved
from
evil
;
and
you
need
not
that
any
man
teach
you
,
for
you
are
taught
of
God
,
and
are
far
from
oppression
.
Ye
Children
of
Light
,
worship
your
God
for
ever
,
who
is
light
,
and
in
him
is
no
darkness
at
all
,
who
is
the
same
and
changes
not
,
whose
mercy
endures
for
ever
:
Be
Followers
of
the
Lamb
as
undefiled
Virgins
,
and
let
your
soul
scorn
the
glory
of
Babylon
and
Aegypt
for
ever
;
for
you
are
not
your
own
,
but
are
bought
with
a
price
,
no
more
to
serve
your selves
,
but
the
Lord
of
Israel
forever
.
Put
on
your
Armour
,
and
gird
on
your
Sword
,
and
lay
hold
on
the
spear
,
and
march
into
the
field
,
and
prepare
your selves
to
battel
,
for
the
Nations
doth
defie
our
God
,
and
saith
in
their
heart
,
Who
is
the
God
of
the
Quakers
,
that
we
should
fear
him
,
and
obey
his
voice
?
Arise
,
arise
,
and
sound
forth
the
everlasting
word
of
war
and
judgment
in
the
ears
of
all
Nations
;
sound
an
Alarum
,
and
make
their
ears
to
tingle
.
Our
Enemies
are
whole
Nations
,
and
multitudes
in
number
,
of
a
rebellious
people
that
will
not
come
under
our
law
,
which
arise
up
against
us
,
and
will
not
have
our
King
to
reign
,
but
trample
his
Honour
under
foot
,
and
despise
his
Law
and
his
Statutes
,
and
count
his
Subjects
as
Slaves
and
Bond-men
.
Stand
upon
your
feet
,
and
appear
in
your
terror
as
an
Army
with
banners
,
and
let
the
Nations
know
your
power
,
and
the
stroke
of
your
hand
:
cut
down
on
the
right
hand
,
and
slay
on
the
left
,
and
let
not
your
eye
pitty
,
nor
your
hand
spare
,
but
wound
the
Lofty
,
and
tread
under
foot
the
Honourable
of
the
Earth
,
and
give
unto
the
great
Whore
double
,
and
give
her
no
rest
day
nor
night
;
but
as
she
hath
done
,
so
let
it
be
done
unto
her
;
and
give
her
double
into
her
bosom
:
as
she
hath
loved
blood
,
so
give
her
blood
,
and
dash
her
children
against
the
stones
,
and
let
none
of
the
Heathen
Nations
,
nor
their
gods
escape
out
of
your
hands
,
nor
their
Images
,
nor
Idols
,
but
lay
waste
the
fenced
Cities
,
and
tread
down
the
high
Walls
;
for
we
have
proclaimed
open
War
betwixt
Michael
our
Prince
,
and
the
Dragon
.
Your
Captains
are
mighty
men
,
and
your
leaders
are
skilled
to
handle
the
Sword
,
and
they
are
riding
on
before
you
,
Arise
worm
Iacob
,
and
fear
not
,
but
thresh
the
mountains
to
dust
;
for
God
hath
given
thee
the
power
of
thy
enemies
to
tread
upon
,
and
they
shall
fly
before
thee
,
and
shalt
fall
by
thy
sword
;
there
is
none
to
strong
for
thee
,
nor
no
inchantment
against
thee
;
but
thou
art
blessed
,
blessed
world
without
end
.
Therefore
all
ye
Lambs
of
my
Father
,
and
ye
Camp
of
the
Lords
Host
,
wait
upon
him
to
fulfil
his
Will
,
for
he
hath
put
into
your
hearts
to
make
war
in
righteousness
against
the
beast
and
the
false
Prophet
:
and
cursed
be
every
one
that
riseth
not
up
to
the
help
of
the
Lord
against
the
mighty
:
the
Beast
is
mighty
;
and
the
false
Prophet
is
great
;
and
they
keep
the
Nations
under
their
power
.
But
O
thou
Beast
,
and
thou
false
Prophet
you
shall
be
tormented
together
:
thou
Beast
,
upon
which
the
false
Prophet
sits
,
whom
thou
upholds
by
thy
Law
;
and
defends
by
thy
unrighteous
power
,
thy
power
is
limited
,
and
it
shall
be
taken
from
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
be
overcome
,
and
the
Lamb
shall
get
the
victory
,
and
into
the
pit
and
lake
of
fire
shall
you
be
turned
to
have
your
resting
place
.
And
thou
false
Prophet
which
hath
deceived
the
Nations
,
and
scattered
the
Inhabitants
thereof
,
and
builded
by
fraud
,
and
daubed
with
untempered
morter
;
thy
Judgment
is
past
upon
thy
head
already
,
and
the
Decree
of
our
God
is
sealed
against
thee
;
thy
smoke
shall
ascend
for
ever
and
ever
;
and
of
thy
sin
there
is
no
forgiveness
,
nor
of
thy
torment
no
remission
.
Over
you
do
we
(
and
shall
for
ever
)
rejoyce
and
sing
,
and
over
your
god
and
your
King
,
the
Dragon
that
old
Serpent
;
cursed
be
he
,
and
his
memorial
for
ever
.
Ye
Lambs
of
the
true
Shepherds
fold
,
with
whom
my
soul
resteth
,
whether
ever
I
behold
you
outwardly
,
yet
my
heart
is
with
you
,
and
I
am
one
of
your
fold
,
and
I
lye
down
with
you
under
the
shadow
of
the
rock
,
upon
the
Mountain
which
the
beast
cannot
touch
,
where
we
are
safe
from
all

Several
Epistles
to
Friends
in
LONDON
:
Written
in
the
Year
1655.
by
E.
B.
Some
of
which
were
subscribed
by
F.
H.
who
was
Fellow-Labourer
with
him
in
the
Work
of
the
Lord
.
FRiends
of
God
in
the
Truth
,
whom
the
Lord
is
gathering
as
desolate
Stones
to
build
unto
himself
a
Habitation
,
whom
the
Lord
is
bringing
back
out
of
Captivity
,
wherein
you
have
been
held
under
the
Chains
of
Darkness
,
in
the
Land
of
the
shadow
of
Death
the
Lord
is
calling
you
,
and
chusing
you
,
to
place
his
Name
in
you
,
and
to
spread
forth
his
glory
among
you
:
Therefore
all
dear
Friends
,
whose
hearts
the
Lord
hath
touched
by
his
Love
,
and
by
his
Power
;
be
faithful
unto
God
,
who
hath
called
you
;
and
look
not
out
at
any
thing
that
is
mortal
,
to
draw
you
from
the
Obedience
of
the
Eternal
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
which
shines
clearly
in
Darkness
:
Resist
not
the
Drawing
of
the
Father
,
but
take
up
the
Cross
,
and
abide
in
it
daily
,
that
your
wills
may
be
crucified
,
in
which
the
ground
of
enmity
lodges
:
So
all
in
your
own
conditions
wait
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
in
singleness
of
heart
,
and
in
simplicity
of
mind
for
the
powerful
Appearance
of
the
Son
of
God
,
to
be
revealed
in
you
,
to
destroy
the
works
of
the
Devil
;
for
where
he
is
not
witnessed
the
works
of
the
Devil
stands
,
and
the
nature
of
the
earthly
man
in
the
fall
:
All
of
you
whose
minds
are
turned
home
to
within
,
where
the
Pearl
and
the
Lost
Money
is
to
be

Fear

and
Obedience
to
that
of
God
which
is

Peace

unto

refreshment

Beware
every
one
that
have
put
their
hands
to
the
Plow
,
that
you
look
not
back
at
any
thing
which
you
have
left
behind
in
the
World
,
but
press
on
in
the
strait
Way
,
which
is
the
Light
,
which
gives
no
liberty
to
the
fleshly
man
,
but
which
judges
and
condemns
all
that
hates
it
and
turns
from
it
;
the
Light
is
the
Way
that
leads
to
Life
,
and
by
it
as
you
wait
in
it
the
Life
will
be
made
manifest
,
which
is
immortal
,
and
your
Redemption
will
be
witnessed
;
dwell
in
the
Judgment
and
in
the
Burning
,
that
the
Dross
may
be
consumed
,
and
the
Pure
may
be
refined
,
and
the
earthly
carnal
minds
may
be
confounded
and
judged
:
The
Lord
is
near
unto
you
,
wait
for
his
powerful
Presence
in
his
own
Light
,
to
see
him
,
and
in
it
to
comprehend
all
the
World
,
with
all
its
Profession
,
which
leads
not
to
God
,
but
keeps
in
the
separation
from
God
;
your
Way
is
near
,
walking
in
the
Light
you
will
see
it
,
and
in
the
Light
you
will
see
all
the
paths
,
and
all
the
wayes
of
the
Harlot
,
which
leads
into
the
Chambers
of
Death
;
look
not
out
at
words
,
for
that
which
feeds
there
,
is
for
the
Famine
;
but
dwell
in
the
Light
,
joyning
with
the
immortal
Principle
,
which
receives
nourishment
from
the
Eternal
Fountain
,
which
the
World
knows
not
,
nor
comprehends
,
as
you
grow
in
the
Pure
,
and
in
the
Life
,
so
you
are
unknown
to
the
World
,
and
your
growth
will
appear
by
your
obedience
in
the
Cross
of
Christ
;
so
take
off
stumbling
at
the
Cross
;
for
such
hath
no
part
in
the
Eternal
Inheritance
;
but
walk
in
the
Cross
,
which
is
life
to
the
New-man
,
and
death
to
the
Old
,
and
so
through
Death
Life
is
made
manifest
,
and
the
pure
Life
of
God
arising
in
all
,
the
World
will
be
trampled
upon
,
and
denied
by
you
,
but
such
amongst
you
that
chuseth
the
World
,
wrath
from
God
I
declare
against
you
;
and
you
who
knows
the
way
,
and
casts
off
the
Truth
,
and
for
the
love
of
that
which
is
visible
,
turns
from
the
Truth
,
you
cannot
escape
the
Damnation
of
Hell
:
So
all
dear
and
tender
hearts
,
abide
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
let
not
the
World
overcome
your
minds
,
but
wait
for
a
daily
victory
over
it
,
that
so
you
may
with
the
Saints
possess
the
Eternal
Riches
,
and
that
in
you
which
is
carnal
and
corrupt
may
be
overcome
,
by
that
which
is
Eternal
and
Holy
,
as
you
abide
and
walk
in
the
Truth
,
and
grow
up
in
the
knowledge
of
the
eternal
God
;
so
our
joy
will
be
fulfilled
in
you
,
and
our
rejoycing
will
be
encreased
by
you
;
therefore
walk
and
live
in
that
which
God
hath
made
manifest
in
you
,
which
is
of
himself
;
and
the
eternal
God
of
Life
and
Power
prosper
you
,
and
lead
you
up
unto
himself
,
to
dwell
and
walk
in
his
Love
for
evermore
.
Be
not
troubled
at
the
rage
of
the
World
,
nor
at
Temptations
,
but
stand
in
the
Will
of
God
,
which
hath
been
declared
amongst
you
;
that
you
may
all
be
established
and
guided
by
that
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
by
the
Principle
of
Life
,
which
is
Eternal
,
which
judges
all
the
fruits
and
grounds
of
Darkness
:
Our
love
salutes
you
all
,
who
walk
in
the
Truth
,
and
our
prayers
are
for
you
,
that
Life
may
spring
up
in
you
,
to
praise
the
Lord
for
ever

ALl
Friends
,
whose
minds
are
turned
to
the
Lord
,
by
that
which
is
Pure
,
which
comes
from
him
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
;
all
mind
it
,
that
with
it
your
minds
may
be
turned
to
him
,
from
whence
it
comes
,
out
of
all
the
perishing
things
,
and
out
of
all
the
visible
to
the
invisible
,
that
so
you
may
all
come
to
know
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
which
endures
for
ever
;
which
is
as
a
Fire
and
a
Hammer
,
which
breaks
down
the
Mountains
,
and
burns
up
,
and
destroyes
all
that
which
is
acted
in
that
nature
which
leads
into
transgression
,
and
into
the
curse
from
God
:
And
therefore
all
dear
Friends
whose
minds
are
turned
to
the
Lord
,
and
have
tasted
of
his
Power
,
all
dwell
in
his
Fear
,
and
keep
in
your
minds
from
gadding
abroad
;
and
that
which
hath
discovered
the
lusts
and
filthiness
of
your
minds
,
and
turned
your
minds
from
these
things
,
and
from
that
nature
that
rules
in
the
children
of
disobedience
,
that
so
you
may
all
come
to
know
the
Life
,
and
that
he
may
lead
you
,
and
direct
all
your
minds
up
in
his
Fear
and
Wisdom
,
that
so
you
may
be
preserved
out
of
those
Paths
that
lead
to
destruction
,
and
out
of
all
the
deceitful
Profession
of
the
World
;
and
in
the
Light
of
Christ
you
will
see
the
rise
and
ground
of
all
Deceivers
,
and
Dreamers
,
and
all
them
that
speak
their
own
Imaginations
,
and
yet
boast
of
great
things
,
and
strive
,
and
contend
about
words
,
and
feed
upon
wind
,
and
bring
no
fruit
unto
God
;
and
all
ye
that
are
not
of
the
Light
,
and
walk
not
according
to
the
Light
are
there
,
and
lending
your
ears
to
such
who
act
and
speak
in
that
nature
,
you
turn
from
your
Guide
which
is
near
,
and
lend
your
ears
to
the
wicked
,
and
so
have
walked
in
Darkness
:
But
now
you
who
have
tasted
of
the
Love
and
Power
of
God
,
which
all
the
Profession
in
the
World
knows
nothing
of
,
in
it
dwell
,
and
abide
in
that
which
hath
convinced
you
,
and
in
that
which
judgeth
you
,
&
abide
in
it
,
that
so
you
may
witness
the
Fallow
Ground
plowed
up
,
and
the
Earth
shaken
,
and
the
Rocks
rent
,
and
the
Vail
taken
away
,
that
so
there
may
be
a
way
,
and
a
passage
for
the
Pure
to
pass
through
the
Earth
,
and
so
the
Earth
may
waste
,
and
wither
,
and
decay
,
and
the
Lyons
may
suffer
hunger
,
and
the
gods
of
the
Earth
may
be
famisht
,
and
the
lust
destroyed
;
and
all
keep
low
in
the
fear
,
and
wait
in
silence
upon
the
Lord
,
to
be
near
you
to
direct
all
your
minds
and
stay
,
and
establish
you
;
And
as
you
have
received
the
Truth
,
so
walk
in
the
Truth
,
we
do
charge
you
all
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
;
and
be
faithful
every
one
to
your
measure
,
and
improve
,
and
wait
for
power
,
and
stand
in
the
cross
to
the
earthly
,
that
whatsoever
your
minds
have
delighted
in
,
in
the
first
nature
,
may
all
be
denied
and
crossed
,
and
the
Cross
is
to
the
ground
,
to
the
lust
;
and
as
you
nourish
the
lust
,
and
let
your
minds
and
wills
at
liberty
,
and
deny
the
Cross
,
then
that
which
is
pure
is
vexed
and
darkened
,
and
so
the
deceit
and
lust
gets
up
again
,
and
so
the
Guide
is
lost
,
and
condemnation
comes
upon
you
;
and
therefore
all
be
diligent
in
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
watch
over
your
actions
,
and
deceit
;
and
you
will
come
to
see
Satan
hath
many
strong
holds
,
and
would
spare
the
best
and
the
fat
;
but
in
that
which
is
a
Cross
to
all
mortal
stand
,
and
abide
,
and
dwell
,
that
so
you
may
be
preserved
and
kept
out
of
all
snares
of
the
Devil
:
And
now
take
heed
of
judging
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
it
knows
not
what
it
is
to
be
silent
and
wait
,
that
you
may
come
to
see
in
the
Light
,
and
be
Partakers
of
the
same
;
and
all
who
have
tasted
of
the
Power
,
wait
,
and
keep
out
of
imaginations
,
and
thoughts
,
and
false
voyces
,
that
so
the
Enemy
may
not
be
hearkned
to
,
nor
the
deceit
,
but
all
in
the
measure
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
singleness
of
heart
,
out
of
all
deceit
;
and
form
nothing
in
your
minds
;
but
all
in
Purity
and
Uprightness
dwell
,
And
all
Friends
,
now
take
heed
of
carelesness
,
slothfulness
,
and
sluggishness
of
mind
,
and
of
giving
liberty
to
the
flesh
,
and
ease
to
the
carnal
mind
:
And
we
charge
and
command
you
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
whose
Power
is
dreadful
,
that
you
meet
together
in
silence
,
and
wait
,
and
none
to
speak
a
word
but
what
he
is
moved
to
speak
,
a
word
from
the
Lord
;
take
heed
of
adding
to
it
,
but
only
what
you
are
moved
;
and
take
heed
of
striving
,
and
contending
,
or
letting
out
your selves
to
strange
spirits
,
but
every
one
keep
in
his
own
Tent
,
and
sit
down
under
his
own
Vine
;
and
eat
not
that
which
dyes
of
it self
,
but
feed
upon
the
Eternal
,
and
so
you
will
be
nourished
,
and
grow
up
in
Wisdom
and
Power
,
in
that
which
is
pure
,
that
all
deceit
may
be
kept
out
.
And
all
Children
and
Servants
,
be
diligent
in
your
places
,
more
willing
,
more
ready
to
labour
in
love
and
diligence
,
that
so
the
Name
of
God
may
not
be
dishonoured
.
And
all
you
who
have
Callings
,
throw
off
nothing
hastily
nor
rashly
,
but
wait
and
flee
not
the
Cross
,
for
if
you
do
,
you
will
be
darkened
,
and
the
Name
of
God
dishonoured
:
And
therefore
all
dear
Friends
,
who
have
owned
the
Truth
,
now
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
diligence
,
that
so
you
may
grow
in
the
Life
,
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
that
nothing
may
be
spared
that
is
for
destruction
;
and
so
God
Almighty
bless
you
all
,
and
keep
you
out
of
all
deceit
,
in
the
pure
Life
which
is
made
manifest
,
that
you
may
have
victory
over
all
,
and
witness
him
who
puts
all
under
;
with
it
,
if
you
wait
,
you
will
see
him
present
and
near
you
.
And
so
the
Everlasting
God
of
Power
keep
you
all
;
for
great
is
our
care
over
you
,
and
our
love
is
to
you
that
abide
in
the
Truth
,
which
you
are
already
made
Partakers
of
;
and
when
Joy
springs
up
,
keep
in
it
,
and
run
not
forth
,
and
spend
it
not
;
and
take
heed
of
exalting
,
for
then
pride
and
presumption
gets
up
,
if
you
keep
not
in
his
Fear
,
and
so
Darkness
will
come
upon
you
;
but
all
dwelling
in
that
which
is
pure
,
you
will
be
preserved
out
of
snares
,
and
temptations
,
and
your
minds
kept
clear
and
pure
,
out
of
all
things
that
defile
;
and
so
the
Everlasting
God
of
Life
and
Power
be
with
you
all
.

London

Dear
and
beloved
Friends
,
in
that
which
is
pure
of
God
,
and
made
manifest
in
you
all
,
wait
and
abide
,
and
walk
in
the
Light
,
which
comes
from
Jesus
,
from
whence
it
comes
,
who
is
the
Judge
of
the
Quick
and
the
Dead
,
condemns
all
unrighteousness
into
the
pit
;
and
therefore
all
wait
in
that
which
is
pure
of
God
,
which
hath
turned
your
minds
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Sata●
to
God
,
and
hath
convinced
you
of
all
unrighteousness
,
and
hath
let
you
see
all
that
ever
you
have
done
;
behold
,
he
is
the
very
Christ
;
and
therefore
all
Friends
of
God
,
mind
that
which
is
pure
of
God
,
which
shews
you
the
deceits
of
the
heart
;
the
Light
is
the
Eye
which
discovers
all
the
secrets
of
your
hearts
,
and
it
will
shew
all
deceit
,
and
your
present
condition
,
and
that
which
would
lead
aside
;
and
temptation
as
it
ariseth
it
will
discover
,
and
resisting
in
the
Light
,
here
temptations
come
to
be
escaped
,
and
the
pits
and
the
snares
which
they
who
err
from
the
Light
fall
into
.
Dear
Friends
,
great
is
our
care
one
every
side
,
and
we
are
jealous
over
you
lest
you
depart
from
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
,
and
so
the
deceit
lead
and
guide
,
and
so
you
will
come
under
condemnation
;
and
therefore
all
in
silence
wait
,
be
swift
to
hear
,
slow
to
speak
;
and
all
wait
upon
the
Light
in
diligence
,
and
take
heed
of
forward
minds
and
wills
,
which
would
go
before
the
Light
and
run
before
the
Guide
;
there
is
the
Deceiver
and
false
Prophet
within
,
the
same
that
is
without
,
and
therefore
we
charge
you
all
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
God
,
to
take
heed
of
forward
wills
in
speaking
,
lest
your
minds
be
drawn
out
from
the
moving
of
the
Pure
within
,
to
hearken
to
words
without
,
which
are
spoken
from
that
which
is
above
the
Light
,
and
this
feeds
the
carnal
reason
,
and
the
earthly
wisdom
,
and
lets
in
the
Inchanter
,
and
so
your
minds
being
turned
without
you
feed
upon
the
husk
,
and
not
the
Life
,
and
therefore
that
nature
that
cannot
live
without
words
is
for
the
Plague
and
for
the
Famine
,
and
must
be
famished
and
stopt
:
And
therefore
now
as
the
Power
ariseth
in
you
,
dwell
low
in
it
,
and
sink
down
in
the
same
,
and
as
things
open
in
you
speak
not
forth
,
there
your
minds
would
run
out
,
and
speak
that
which
is
opened
by
the
Spirit
,
this
is
the
Prodigal
;
but
as
things
open
,
treasure
them
up
in
your
hearts
;
and
all
keep
in
that
which
separates
between
Light
and
darkness
;
and
be
not
hasty
to
do
any
thing
,
lest
your
wills
betray
you
,
and
all
keep
in
Patience
,
there
the
Crown
is
obtained
;
and
flee
not
from
the
trouble
,
nor
from
that
which
judgeth
;
but
dwell
in
it
,
and
pray
that
your
flight
be
not
in
Winter
,
if
you
do
,
you
are
Vipers
;
And
despise
not
the
Cross
,
even
the
death
of
the
Cross
,
that
all
your
iniquity
may
be
nailed
to
the
Cross
,
and
so
the
righteousness
may
be
set
up
within
,
and
so
the
Land
is
kept
in
Peace
:
And
therefore
all
,
dear
Friends
,
whose
hearts
the
Lord
hath
touched
,
meet
together
,
in
silence
wait
,
and
you
will
see
the
Lord
present
among
you
,
and
his
power
made
manifest
among
you
,
and
the
earth
broken
up
,
and
the
fallow
ground
,
and
a
passage
for
the
Seed
;
and
we
charge
you
all
take
heed
of
many
words
,
or
feeding
upon
that
which
is
torn
,
and
dies
of
it self
;
and
we
charge
by
the
Lord
,
that
none
speak
without
Eternal
Motion
;
for
if
you
do
,
the
false
Prophet
speaks
,
and
his
words
eats
as
a
Canker
,
and
darkens
;
and
vails
them
that
hearken
to
it
:
And
therefore
all
wait
to
have
Salt
in
your selves
,
and
savour
and
discerning
,
that
you
may
come
to
know
the
voice
of
the
Lord
from
the
voice
of
a
Stranger
,
and
so
you
may
be
kept
out
of
all
deceit
,
for
there
Thorns
and
Briars
;
and
the
cursed
fruits
are
brought
forth
:
but
in
the
Light
of
Christ
dwell
,
and
wait
,
and
grow
up
in
it
,
and
walk
in
it
,
that
you
may
come
to
know
your
Redeemer
,
and
what
you
are
redeemed
from
,
and
see
him
near
you
,
and
in
you
,
else
you
are
Reprobates
:
And
so
the
Lord
God
of
Life
and
Power
preserve
you
all
,
for
we
have
kept
nothing
back
,
but
are
free
from
the
blood
of
you
all
,
and
of
all
that
hears
us
;
but
our
desire
to
the
Lord
is
,
that
what
hath
been
sown
in
weakness
may
be
raised
in
power
,
and
that
you
may
grow
up
in
the
Truth
,
and
walk
in
the
Truth
,
that
we
may
see
the
Travel
of
our
Souls
,
and
be
satisfied
;
and
if
the
Lord
give
us
to
see
your
faces
again
,
we
may
rejoyce
in
you
,
and
with
you
:
and
so
the
Everlasting
God
of
Life
and
Power
keep
you
all
in
his
Wisdom
and
Power
,
to
have
victory
over
all
your
Enemies
,
that
you
may
serve
him
in
uprightness
of
heart
,
and
be
faithfull
to
that
of
God
made
manifest
in
you
all
.

FRiends
of
God
,
called
by
him
out
of
the
dark
World
,
into
his
marvellous
Light
;
to
all
you
who
by
the
Power
of
God
are
kept
faithful
,
to
walk
and
abide
in
the
measure
of
the
Gift
of
God
received
;
Grace
,
Mercy
,
and
Peace
from
God
the
Father
of
Life
be
multiplied
in
you
,
and
amongst
you
,
that
you
all
may
grow
up
in
the
Power
of
God
,
out
of
Darkness
,
and
the
shaddow
of
Death
,
wherein
you
have
been
held
captive
in
a
strange
Land
:
Dear
Friends
,
our
souls
are
poured
out
for
you
,
that
you
all
may
abide
in
that
which
you
have
received
,
and
heard
,
which
is
the
Way
and
Path
of
Life
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
Peace
eternal
;
therefore
all
dear
Friend
,
walk
worthy
of
the
calling
,
whereunto
ye
are
called
,
and
wait
in
the
Light
by
which
you
are
enlightened
,
that
all
deceit
in
particular
and
in
the
general
may
be
comprehended
,
seen
,
and
judged
;
we
bear
you
record
,
there
is
a
Witness
of
God
manifest
in
you
,
and
true
desires
which
flows
to
God
from
you
:
Therefore
take
heed
to
the
measure
of
God
,
that
by
it
you
may
hear
the
Voyce
of
God
,
and
see
his
powerful
Presence
;
for
by
that
which
is
manifested
of
God
in
man
,
God
speaks
,
moves
,
and
acts
,
and
is
known
unto
man
;
and
all
that
neglect
the
measure
of
God
,
to
walk
in
it
,
all
their
Knowledge
,
Experiences
,
and
Profession
is
for
condemnation
,
by
that
which
changeth
not
;
so
all
dwell
in
the
measure
which
is
the
Light
,
in
the
Cross
which
keeps
under
and
judges
the
fleshly
man
,
so
the
understanding
will
be
kept
open
to
receive
the
Mercies
of
God
,
and
to
walk
worthy
of
the
Mercies
received
;
but
turning
aside
from
the
Light
you
neglect
the
Mercies
,
and
follow
lying
vanities
,
and
err
from
the
Way
of
Righteousness
,
and
bring
your selves
under
condemnation
;
for
no
longer
is
God
enjoyed
by
man
,
then
man
abides
in
his
Counsel
,
in
his
Fear
,
where
the
secrets
of
God
are
manifest
and
received
by
the
Light
,
which
is
the
first
entrance
unto
God
,
and
the
fulness
of
the
enjoyment
of
God
:
Beware
of
the
World
,
where
all
the
temptations
lie
,
to
draw
away
your
minds
into
the
carnal
and
visible
things
,
out
from
the
Light
by
which
the
Life
is
enjoyed
,
and
so
death
passeth
over
you
,
and
condemnation
cometh
upon
you
,
and
the
Life
be
lost
,
and
misery
be
revealed
against
you
.
Large
is
the
Love
of
God
unto
you
,
in
calling
you
,
and
chusing
you
,
and
therefore
forget
not
this
Love
,
but
walk
in
it
,
up
to
God
,
from
whom
free
Redemption
is
manifested
,
unto
that
which
hath
lain
in
Death
,
overcome
by
the
Darkness
;
follow
not
your
own
wills
,
nor
the
voice
of
the
Stranger
and
false
Prophet
,
which
draws
out
into
visibles
,
into
here
,
and
there
;
but
have
salt
and
discerning
in
your selves
,
that
you
may
try
every
motion
,
and
every
spirit
,
and
may
by
that
which
is
infallible
and
errs
not
,
comprehend
and
judge
that
which
is
fallible
and
erring
,
which
flourisheth
for
a
time
,
but
comes
to
an
end
,
is
withered
,
as
that
in
your
own
Knowledge
and
Consciences
will
set
to
seal
,
who
have
been
strayed
and
scattered
upon
the
Mountains
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day
;
but
now
the
Light
is
breaking
forth
,
and
the
Day
begins
to
appear
;
and
all
you
who
abide
faithful
shall
see
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
(
shall
enjoy
him
in
the
Land
of
the
Living
)
End
of
the
Work
of
God
.
We
charge
you
all
in
the
Lord
,
that
you
who
profess
the
Truth
walk
in
it
,
and
who
profess
a
change
,
to
let
it
appear
by
putting
off
the
works
of
Darkness
,
which
by
the
Light
are
made
manifest
unto
you
,
and
testified
against
by
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
;
for
know
this
,
that
that
which
liveth
in
you
which
is
contrary
to
God
,
witnessed
against
by
the
Light
of
Christ
,
shall
be
as
a
Prick
in
the
eye
,
and
as
a
Thorn
in
the
side
for
ever
;
and
Wrath
is
to
be
revealed
upon
him
that
spareth
the
best
,
and
saveth
the
fat
from
Judgment
,
for
to
the
slaughter
all
must
come
,
that
Life
and
Glory
may
be
made
manifest
;
and
he
that
looks
back
by
the
way
is
not
fit
for
the
Kingdom
;
and
he
that
returns
again
to
the
pollutions
,
his
latter
end
is
worse
then
his
beginning
,
and
the
Judgment
of
God
cannot
be
escaped
:
Therefore
wait
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
stand
in
the
Light
,
which
is
the
Armour
against
all
temptations
,
whereby
the
Darkness
and
Death
,
and
he
that
hath
the
power
of
Death
is
overcome
,
and
all
that
love
the
Light
,
and
are
guided
by
it
.
And
all
dear
Friends
,
who
have
tasted
of
the
Love
and
Power
of
God
,
and
do
witness
the
renting
of
the
Earth
,
dwell
in
the
Power
and
pure
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
that
so
all
deceit
may
be
kept
down
,
and
under
;
and
take
heed
of
the
false
Prophet
,
speaking
or
suffering
your
minds
to
run
out
in
the
openings
,
and
so
you
will
speak
that
which
is
opened
in
the
Light
;
and
therefore
we
charge
you
all
in
the
Presence
of
the
dreadful
God
of
Life
and
Power
,
that
you
all
wait
in
silence
,
and
wait
to
have
Salt
and
Savour
in
your selves
,
to
know
the
Voice
of
Christ
from
the
voice
of
the
Stranger
,
for
till
that
be
known
in
your selves
you
are
not
able
to
judge
;
and
therefore
all
wait
in
the
Light
,
which
is
the
Eye
,
which
sees
into
the
Mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
none
to
utter
a
word
,
but
what
you
are
Eternally
moved
unto
,
or
else
that
in
every
ones
Conscience
will
bear
witness
against
you
;
and
therefore
be
not
hasty
now
when
you
see
things
open
in
your
minds
,
dwell
in
them
,
and
run
not
forth
and
speak
,
but
treasure
them
up
in
your
hearts
,
and
take
heed
,
and
keep
low
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
that
pride
and
presumption
get
not
up
,
nor
nothing
be
exalted
above
that
which
is
pure
.
Dear
Friends
,
you
are
upon
us
as
a
great
weight
and
burden
,
lest
we
should
have
bestowed
our
labour
in
vain
,
but
we
hope
and
trust
the
Lord
will
preserve
you
,
if
you
stand
in
obedience
to
that
of
God
made
manifest
in
you
,
and
so
you
will
grow
;
and
take
heed
of
striving
and
contending
,
but
judge
that
,
every
one
in
your selves
,
that
you
may
all
grow
up
in
the
pure
Life
of
God
:
And
so
the
everlasting
Power
of
God
bless
you
all
,
and
keep
you
in
his
everlasting
Love
,
and
Power
,
and
give
the
victory
over
your
Enemies
,
that
you
may
come
to
witness
eternal
Life
in
you
,
made
manifest
from
God
.

DEar
Friends
,
in
the
evelasting
Covenant
of
Life
and
Peace
whom
we
bear
witness
of
,
and
unto
whom
we
have
declared
,
and
preached
in
season
and
out
of
season
among
;
yea
,
and
have
often
come
unto
,
in
much
weakness
,
and
fear
,
and
trembling
;
and
have
not
ceased
day
by
day
to
watch
over
you
,
lest
any
should
start
aside
from
the
Hope
of
the
Gospel
,
which
was
declared
amongst
you
in
much
demonstration
of
Spirit
,
whereby
your
understandings
came
to
be
opened
,
even
by
the
Word
of
his
Power
,
which
we
directed
you
to
wait
in
,
and
for
;
and
you
are
Witnesses
your selves
of
the
Love
and
mighty
Power
of
God
,
which
was
made
manifest
among
you
;
which
made
the
Heathen
to
rage
,
and
confounded
the
wisdom
of
the
Wise
:
So
dear
Children
of
Light
,
of
whom
we
have
travelled
in
pains
,
and
great
burdens
,
that
Christ
might
be
formed
in

;
fulfil
ye
our
joy
,
make
our
hearts
glad

your
growth
up
in
him
,
who
hath
called
and
spoken
to
you
from
Heaven
by
his
Son
,
in
the
Light
;
and
your
ears
have
heard
,
and
your
eyes
have
seen
,
and
you
have
been
made
to
understand
the
Mystery
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
which
is
a
Parable
to
all
the
World
,
and
sealed
,
and
cannot
be
read
;
but
to
you
who
continue
and
abide
in
the
Grace
of
God
,
which
hath
appeared
to
all
men
,
which
brings
Salvation
to
all
that
walk
and
abide
in
it
,
and
leads
to
the
Enterance
,
and
Earnest
,
and
the
sealing
of
the
Spirit
,
until
the
time
of
the
finishing
transgreson

and
making
an
end
of
sin
,
and
so
the
everlasting
Offering
be
witnessed
,
which
perfects
for
ever
them
that
are
Sanctified
;
therfore
all
Friends
whose
minds
are
turn-to
the
Light
,
and
do
witness
a
change
in
you
,
by
the
working
of
the
Spirit
,
and
now
a
door
of
Hope
being
set
open
,
abide
in
that
measure
every
one
,
and
stay
your
souls
upon
him
,
who
is
your
Hope
;
and
keep
low
in
the
Fear
to
the
just
Principle
of
Life
;
that
you
may
have
savour
and
discerning
,
to
know
the
Voice
of
Christ
from
the
voice
of
a
Stranger
in
your selves
and
in
others
,
and
so
grow
up
in
the
discerning
;
and
comprehend
all
spirits
,
and
judge
them
by
the
Light
that
makes
all
things
manifest
;
and
all
meet
together
in
your
several
Meetings
,
and
watch
one
over
another
;
and
be
diligent
all
in
your
measure

and
take
heed
you
neglect
not
;
and
none
be
of
a
careless
mind
to
meet
and
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
silence
;
for
whose
life
stands
only
in
words
without
,
such
we
deny
,
for
their
eyes
and
ears
are
without
,
and
they
would
be
ever
learning
,
and
that
is
the
silly
woman
that
is
loden
with
lust
,
And
all
dear
Babes
,
take
heed
of
taking
liberty
to
the
flesh
,
nor
give
no
ear
nor
liberty
to
the
Earth
,
but
in
the
Cross
dwell
to
the
carnal
,
and
so
you
will
witness
the
Plant
of
the
Lord
watered
,
and
a
growth
in
the
Immortal
,
and
the
Seed
you
will
see
,
which
is
one
in

which
the
Promise
is
to
;

all
be
still

cool

quiet

of
a
meek
spirit
,
that
out
of
boysterousness
,
and
eagerness
,
and
feignedness
,
and
self-love
,
you
may
be
preserved
in
your
measures
up
to
God
;
and
if
any
be
moved
to
speak
a
few
words
in
your
Meetings
,
this
we
charge
you
all
,
That
you
speak
nothing
but
that
which
is
given
in
,
and
in
the
sence
,
and
in
the
cross
;
and
do
not
add
your
own
words
,
for
then
you
will
burthen
others
who
dwell
in
the
Life
;
and
take
heed
of
whispering
,
and
back-biting
one
another
,
or
uncovering
one
anothers
nakedness
,
but
if
any
see
any
to
be
overtaken
,
or
walking
disorderly
,
reprove
such
a
one
privately
,
and
exhort
private
,
and
bear
and
forbear
one
another
;
and
so
love
will
encrease
,
and
your
joy
,
and
your
wisdom
,
and
your
strength
will
grow
;
and
so
the
Lord
God
of
Life
preserve
you
all
in
his
Wisdom
,
and
take
heed
of
imaginations
or
running
out
,
and
do
nothing
has●ily
;
but
wait
at
Wisdom's
Gate
,
that
so
you
may
do
all
things
in
wisdom
;
and
all
be
faithful
in
your
measures
,
and
give
up
all
freely
unto
the
Lord
,
that
he
may
take
away
your
Enemies
,
and
bring
you
into
everlasting
Righteousness

Beloved
in
the
Lord
,
our
thirsting
is
great
after
you
,
that
the
Truth
you
have
received
from
him
whom
we
declared
unto
you
,
contrary
to
our
own
wills
,
in
much
weakness
,
and
much
fear
,
and
often
tears
,
and
much
trembling
,
and
walking
before
you
in
Uprightness
,
without
fraud
and
dissimulation
,
as
Patterns
and
Examples
;
and
the
Lord
by
his
eternal
working
of
his
mighty
Power
made
his
own
Ministry
powerful
unto
you
,
unto
whom
be
glory
for
evermore
:
So
dear
hearts
,
in
the
Grace
of
God
which
hath
appeared
unto
you
,
which
did
convince
you
of
sin
,
and
condemned
sin
in
the
flesh
,
by
which
Power
ye
are
saved
from
sin
,
and
brings
Salvation
unto
you
who
walk
in
it
;
in
it
dwell
and
wait
for
the
day
star
of
Iacob
to
arise
,
and
the
Babe
of
Glory
to
be
brought
in
you
,
and
made
manifest
,
and
the
Government
may
be
upon
his
shoulders
,
who
rules
in
righteousness
for
ever
:
There
is
a
Crown
before
you
;
and
therefore
our
dearly
beloved
ones
,
all
wait
,
and
press
on
to
the
work
before
you
,
in
the
Cross
,
and
on
the
Cross
give
up
all
to
be
slain
,
and
keep
nothing
back
,
for
if
you
do
,
the
Canaanite
will
vex
you
,
and
trouble
you
,
and
be
a
thorn
in
your
eyes
,
to
blind
the
eye
,
and
so
turn
you
into
darkness
;
but
all
keep
low
in
the
fear
,
and
wait
,
that
the
head
may
be
exalted
and
uncovered
,
that
so
the
man
may
bear
rule
who
is
not
in
the
transgression
,
and
so
in
the
living
hope
which
is
come
to
you
from
him
who
is
the
Life
of
men
you
may
purifie
your selves
,
&
all
the
old
Leaven
may
be
purged
out
;
and
so
wait
for
the
Faith
of
the
Son
of
God
,
which
is
born
of
God
,
by
which
the
Just
lives
,
and
so
the
Everlasting
you
will
come
to
see
;
and
so
the
Everlasting
God
of
Life
and
Power
preserve
you
all
in
one
,
out
of
all
jar
and
strife
,
pure
to
himself
,
in
one
,
that
you
may
bear
witness
to
his
Name
by
your
holy
conversation
,
in
that
great
Place
;
for
I
see
there
is
more
yet
to
come
into
the
Fold
in
that
City
:
And
so
be
diligent
in
your
meeting
together
,
and
his
eternal
Power
and
Presence
you
will
see
,
as
you
have
done
continually
;
so
grow
up
in
the
Life
of
God
,
and
here
you
are
unknown

salute
us

Epistle
to
Friends
in
London
.
MY
dear
beloved
Friends
and
Brethren
,
in
the
Everlasting
Unerring
Trut●
,
of
which
you
are
made
Partakers
,
who
are
called
of
God
,
his
Witnesse●
,
to
be
of
his
Name
,
and
of
his
Truth
;
with
my
dear
love
I
do
salute
you
,
dearly
and
tenderly
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Begotten
of
God
,
in
that
City
,
whom
my
soul
longeth
after
,
your
growth
in
the
inward
man
;
the
Everlasting
Father
strengthen
you
,
and
refresh
you
with
the
living
Streams
from
his
Presence
;
and
his
Love
and
Power
,
and
Grace
be
multiplied
among
you
,
unto
whom
he
hath
opened
a
Door
,
and
made
an
entrance
into
the
true
Rest
,
which
remaineth
for
you
,
unto
which
the
Lord
of
Glory
is
gathering
you
,
and
leading
you
,
and
carrying
you
as
Lambs
in
his
Arms
,
into
the
Fold
of
everlasting
Refreshing
;
my
dear
hearts
,
walk
wo●thy
of
the
love
of
God
,
wherewith
he
hath
loved
you
,
and
let
your
Light
shew
,
ye
Children
of
Light
,
forth
into
the
World
,
that
your
good
Works
they
may
see
,
who
over
you
watch
with
an
evil
eye
.
Dear
Friends
,
to
you
that
believe
,
he
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
is
precious
;
therefore
in
the
Light
wait
,
that
your
Understandings
may
be
opened
,
and
your
Feet
prepared
to
walk
in
the
Wayes
of
the
Lord
,
which
to
all
the
Children
of
Light
are
pleasant
Wayes
;
and
be
not
entangled
with
any
yoak
of
bondage
which
may
burthen
you
from
running
the
ra●e
that
is
set
before
you
;
but
in
the
death
of
all
mortal
stand
,
and
there
the
Life
of
immortallity
you
will
see
and
witness
,
and
the
daily
Food
you
will
receive
,
to
that
Life
which
the
love
of
the
World
doth
crucifie
;
for
do
you
not
know
that
the
friendship
of
this
World
is
at
emnity
against
God
;
but
you
are
called
not
to
serve
the
World
,
but
God
,
who
is
the
Light
,
and
the
World
must
serve
you
;
so
take
heed
lest
your
affections
,
and
desires
,
and
hearts
be
drawn
aside
from
the
pure
Way
of
Life
into
that
which
is
visible
,
which
will
not
endure
forever
▪
for
that
life
is
death
,
and
that
glory
is
shame
;
in
the
Light
I
read
you
,
and
do
behold
many
pleasant
Plants
springing
up
in
the
Garden
of
God
;
and
I
bear
you
record
some
of
you
have
laid
your
Crowns
down
at
the
Lamb's
Feet
,
and
have
scorned
the
glory
of
Babylon
and
Aegypt
;
surely
your
Reward
will
be
everlasting
,
and
your
C●ps
will
the
Lord
fill
in
the
sight
of
your
Enemies
,
and
your
Glory
shall
be
above
the
glory
of
the
Earth
,
and
your
Crowns
shall
never
wither
;
therefore
press
on
,
and
look
not
back
,
nor
spare
not
the
fat
,
nor
the
best
from
slaughter
,
but
to
the
Sword
bring
all
your
Enemies
,
which
have
been
they
of
your
own
house
,
which
over
you
have
prevailed
;
but
now
the
Lord
is
arising
among
you
,
and
the
day
you
have
seen
of
the
shaking
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
Heavens
,
and
of
the
darkness
of
the
Sun
,
and
of
the
falling
of
the
Stars
;
therefore
wait
to
the
end
,
that
the
Crown
of
Immortallity
you
may
wear
;
and
with
the
Instrument
of
the
Lord
the
Mountains
you
may
thresh
,
and
may
give
the
Whore
double
reward
into
her
bosom
,
for
all
her
wayes
.
The
day
among
you
begins
to
dawn
,
therefore
put
of
every
work
of
the
night
,
and
walk
all
in
the
day
;
for
ye
are
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
a
City
set
upon
a
Hill
which
cannot
be
hid
;
the
Lord
prosper
you
,
and
preserve
you
,
and
be
with
your
spirits
,
and
establish
you
,
Amen

A

An
Invitation
to
all
the
poor
desolate
Souldiers
to
repent
,
and
make
their
peace
with
the
Lord
,
and
their
duty
shewed
them
,
what
the
Lord
requires
of
them
.
ALas
,
alas
,
wo
is
me
for
thee
,
thou
desolate
Nation
of
Ireland
,
thou
art
to
be
pitied
and
lamented
,
because
of
thy
backslidings
,
and
rebellion
against
the
Lord
;
thou
aboundest
in
Iniquity
,
and
thy
Transgressions
cannot
be
numbred
,
O
thou
art
a
fruitless
Habitation
,
and
barren
of
Righteousness
,
and
Mercy
,
and
true
Judgment
;
even
from
the
Head
to
the
Taile
thou
art
corrupted
,
and
thy
wickedness
is
marked
before
the
Lord
:
Thy
Rulers
,
and
Teachers
,
and
People
are
all
gone
out
of
the
Way
,
and
are
disobedient
Children
,
having
backslided
from
the
pure
Ways
of
the
Lord
God
;
a
deceitful
Heart
is
found
among
them
,
and
a
Lye
is
in
their
Hand
;
even
the
best
of
men
are
as
a
Bryar
,
and
the
most
upright
among
men
sharper
then
a
Thorn-Hedge
;
a
cursed
seed
hath
taken
root
in
thee
,
and
fruit
of
a
cursed
taste
is
abundantly
sprung
forth
;
thou
a●t
turned
into
the
degenerate
Plant
of
a
strange
Vine
unto
God
,
and
are
become
abominable
in
his
eye
;
thy
vines
brings
forth
a
soure
grape
,
and
the
Lords
soul
hath
no
delight
therein
;
thou
art
altogether
untilled
,
and
thy
flowers
give
an
ill
smell
;
thy
Inhabitants
have
let
themselves
to
do
wickedness
they
imagine
mischief
upon
their
beds
and
brings
it
forth
in
the
morning
,
cruelty
is
their
weapon
against
the
Innocent
,
and
hard
heartedness
is
their
defence
against
the
upright
.
Wo
is
me
for
thee
,
thou
desolate
Nation
,
who
have
rejected
the
counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
neglected
the
day
of
thy
Visitation
,
wherein
the
Lord
would
have
gathered
thee
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
;
How
often
hath
the
Lord
spoken
unto
thee
,
and
thou
wilt
not
hear
his
call
?
By
judgement
hath
he
spoken
,
and
by
mercy
hath
he
drawn
,
but
thou
refusest
to
return
,
and
wilt
not
be
reclaimed
,
but
continues
in
thy
Rebellion
against
the
Lord
,
and
forgets
the
work
of
his
hand
,
in
Ages
and
Generations
past
;
even
since
the
beginning
hast
thou
been
a
Land
of
wickedness
,
and
a
people
of
a
cursed
seed
,
drinking
up
iniquity
as
an
Ox
that
drinks
up
water
,
&
filling
the
measure
of
Transgression
,
till
the
Lord
was
forced
in
grievous
judgments
to
deal
with
thee
,
even
his
wrath
in
a
day
broke
forth
upon
thee
,
and
the
fire
of
indignation
was
kindled
in
thee
,
and
thy
Princes
were
cut
off
in
fury
,
&
thy
Inhabitants
fell
by
the
plague
and
sword
in
great
numbers
,
and
thou
were
given
up
to
be
a
prey
to
thy
enemies
in
thy
treasures
,
and
the
cruell
hearted
took
the
spoyle
,
thou
wast
laid
levell
in
the
dust
of
deep
misery
and
confusion
,
and
thy
lamentation
and
sorrow
was
heard
among
the
Nations
,
and
the
stroke
of
the
Lords
hand
was
heavy
upon
thee
,
and
his
judgements
was
just
upon
thy
head
,
and
he
gave
no
rest
unto
thee
for
many
years
,
but
thou
wast
as
a
trembling
leaf
,
and
as
a
forsaken
bough
,
and
thou
wast
made
desolate
and
comfortless
,
and
misery
girded
thee
about
,
and
then
thy
stout
heart
was
brought
down
into
sorrow
,
when
the
Lord
contended
with
thee
;
but
now
thou
hast
ease
from
thy
bitterness
,
and
a
day
of
rest
from
thy
sore
trouble
,
yet
hast
thou
forgotten
the
day
of
thy
distress
,
and
art
again
more
abundantly
exalted
,
and
thy
sins
are
much
more
encreased
,
the
pride
of
thy
heart
is
become
equall
with
Sodom
,
and
thy
transgressions
are
encreased
to
her
number
,
and
the
rebellion
against
the
Lord
is
grown
more
high
,
and
through
mercies
and
deliverance
art
thou
waxe●
fat
,
and
now
thou
kicks
against
the
Lord
,
and
in
thy
heart
sayes
,
Who
is
he
?
O
when
wilt
thou
consider
,
what
the
Lord
hath
wrought
?
when
wilt
thou
call
to
minde
his
just
and
righteous
dealing
?
who
hast
forgotten
the
day
of
thy
former
visitation
,
and
is
becoming
more
vile
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
by
thy
secret
hypocrisie
of
deceitful
profession
,
then
thou
wast
in
thy
open
prophaness
,
when
thou
layest
naked
in
thy
open
sins
.
O
Desolate
Nation
,
the
Lord
once
and
again
hath
stretched
forth
his
hands
unto
thee
,
in
pity
for
thee
,
and
he
sent
his
Servants
and
Witnesses
to
warn
thee
of
these
thy
transgressions
,
and
to
call
upon
thee
to
awake
thee
out
of
thy
carelesness
,
and
he
gave
thee
a
glorious
day
of
visitation
,
and
free
tenders
of
salvation
,
wherein
thou
mightst
have
made
thy
peace
with
him
,
and
repent
thee
of
thy
sin
,
And
his
Servants
were
faithfull
in
thee
,
and
lamented
over
thee
,
and
gave
themselves
to
be
spent
for
thee
,
and
gladly
suffered
the
reproach
of
the
Heathen
,
and
the
cruelty
of
the
wicked
,
that
thereby
thou
mightst
be
reclaimed
out
of
thy
Rebellion
and
wickedness
,
and
they
gave
their
back
to
the
Smiter
,
and
loved
not
their
lives
unto
death
,
nor
prized
not
their
liberty
unto
bonds
,
but
diligently
in
sufferings
,
and
labours
,
and
perplexities
,
called
unto
thee
,
and
through
thy
Towns
and
Cities
proclaimed
the
visitation
and
message
of
the
Lord
concerning
thee
,
and
was
accounted
as
sheep
for
the
slaughter
,
that
they
might
finish
their
Testimony
to
the
gathering
of
thee
▪
but
thou
wouldst
not
,
but
hast
to
this
very
day
stopped
thy
ear
from
counsel
,
&
hardned
thy
heart
against
reproof
,
and
contemned
the
day
of
thy
visitation
,
and
hereby
added
to
thy
measure
of
wickedness
in
dealing
cruelly
with
the
Lords
Servants
,
who
rewarded
them
evil
for
good
,
and
entreated
them
shamefully
,
and
laid
thy
hand
of
oppression
upon
them
,
and
rejected
their
message
of
glad
tidings
,
and
would
not
be
instructed
in
the
way
of
the
Lord
unto
salvation
,
but
gave
heed
unto
the
false
visions
of
thy
lying
Prophets
,
and
took
counsel
against
the
Lord
of
thy
Inchanters
,
and
persecuted
the
faithful
,
by
unjust
Imprisonments
,
and
dealt
wickedly
with
the
Lords
chosen
,
and
made
unrighteous
de
crees
is
thy
wrath
,
and
sealed
them
in
thy
cruelty
,
and
made
a
purpose
in
thy
heart
to
root
out
the
Seed
of
Iacob
,
and
to
lay
wast
the
Lords
Heritage
.
O
Ireland
,
hereby
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
(
thus
far
)
I
seal
my
Testimony
in
faithfulness
unto
thee
,
and
binds
up
my
many
burdens
,
and
travells
,
and
reproaches
,
and
tryals
,
and
sufferings
in
thee
,
in
a
few
words
,
which
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
concerning
thee
.
Ye
Heads
and
Rulers
that
sits
upon
the
Throne
,
Repent
,
and
turn
to
the
Lord
,
from
whom
you
are
grievously
revolted
by
woful
backslidings
,
a
grievous
sin
have
you
committed
,
a
gross
sum
of
hainous
abomination
is
recorded
against
you
,
the
righteous
God
will
meet
you
in
his
Judgements
,
and
once
more
will
appear
in
the
fire
of
Indignation
against
you
,
and
your
mountains
of
pride
,
and
vain-glory
,
and
self-exaltation
,
shall
be
layed
waste
,
as
your
enemies
were
before
you
,
and
as
you
have
thought
to
do
(
to
root
out
the
Seed
of
Iacob
,
and
to
spoyle
the
tender
grapes
of
the
Lords
vintage
)
even
so
shall
it
be
done
unto
you
,
and
your
destruction
cometh
as
an
armed
man
,
and
you
cannot
escape
,
nor
fly
to
hide
your selves
,
from
the
wrath
that
cometh
,
which
is
kindled
already
to
devour
the
pleasant
Palaces
of
your
wicked
hearts
delight
.
Wo
is
me
for
you
;
you
that
are
exalted
upon
your
mountain
of
ease
and
liberty
,
having
forgotten
the
rock
from
whence
you
are
hewn
,
who
were
raised
out
of
weakness
to
reprove
the
mighty
,
and
gives
not
glory
to
the
Lord
,
neither
considers
what
he
hath
done
for
you
,
but
are
become
ingratefull
,
and
disobedient
children
,
and
of
a
double
heart
and
tongue
,
professing
liberty
of
the
pure
conscience
,
but
living
in
corrupt
fleshly
bondage
,
oppressing
the
Just
,
and
slaying
the
holy
One
,
and
neglecting
the
cry
of
the
Innocent
,
having
made
your
fingers
as
heavy
as
your
Fathers
loynes
;
the
hand
of
the
Lord
is
against
you
;
and
his
wrath
will
break
out
upon
you
,
who
strengthens
the
hand
of
evil
doers
,
and
gives
liberty
,
in
your
Dominions
,
unto
the
scum
of
the
Nations
,
to
possess
your
Land
in
peace
,
and
will
not
give
place
unto
the
Seed
of
Iacob
;
but
fortifies
your selves
against
him
,
and
will
not
suffer
him
to
inherit
;
how
full
is
your
Land
of
murderers
,
of
drunkards
,
of
Lyars
,
and
swearers
,
and
of
prophane
persons
,
of
fugitives
,
and
vagabonds
,
and
runnagades
,
who
are
protected
by
your
Law
,
to
possess
in
peace
?
but
in
wrath
have
you
turned
your
sword
against
the
upright
,
and
have
made
Laws
to
limit
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
uphold
deceit
.
Therefore
repent
of
this
your
sin
,
who
have
endeavoured
to
prevent
the
Lord
;
and
humble
your selves
ye
Lofty
,
for
the
purposes
of
your
hearts
are
broken
,
and
a
scattered
Seed
remains
in
your
Dominions
,
which
the
Lord
will
bless
,
and
which
you
cannot
be
able
to
suppress
,
and
as
pricks
in
your
eyes
will
it
stand
a
Witness
against
you
in
your
hypocrisie
and
cruelty
,
and
the
more
ye
lay
yokes
upon
it
,
the
more
it
will
spring
forth
.
Therefore
be
wise
ye
Rulers
and
Judges
,
and
leave
to
imagine
mischief
;
and
lay
your
hands
upon
your
mouthes
,
and
open
them
not
any
more
;
and
turn
in
your
minds
to
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
wherewith
you
are
enlightened
,
and
it
will
let
you
see
what
you
have
done
,
and
will
set
your
sins
in
order
before
your
eyes
,
and
will
justly
reprove
you
,
who
have
not
done
as
you
would
be
done
unto
,
but
have
cast
the
Law
of
God
behind
your
backs
,
and
not
regarded
the
call
of
Equity
;
and
if
you
love
the
Light
of
Christ
it
will
change
your
minds
,
and
will
bring
you
to
Repentance
from
sin
unto
God
,
and
from
the
Dominion
of
Satan
unto
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
Jesus
:
The
Light
is
your
Teacher
,
if
you
love
it
,
and
will
guide
you
in
the
Way
of
God
;
but
if
you
go
on
in
your
wickedness
,
it
is
your
Condemnation
eternally
,
and
shall
seal
to
the
justness
of
the
Judgments
of
God
,
when
they
come
upon
you
;
now
you
have
time
,
and
a
fair
Warning
,
prize
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
before
the
Decree
of
Vengeance
be
sealed
against
you
,
●nd
Repentance
be
hid
from
your
eyes
;
lay
it
to
heart
,
you
are
but
men
,
and
not
God
,
and
your
strength
flesh
and
not
Spirit
;
if
you
own
the
Light
it
will
manifest
the
Will
and
Counsel
of
the
Lord
unto
you
,
and
give
you
Power
to
act
Righteousness
unto
God
,
wherein
you
will
be
accepted
:
Consider
,
lest
you
go
down
to
destruction
,
and
there
be
none
to
deliver
you
.
ANd
unto
all
you
that
do
profess
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
have
got
the
form
of
the
Saints
worship
in
your
imaginations
;
and
have
separated
your selves
into
an
outward
conformity
,
without
the
Power
of
Righteousness
brought
forth
in
you
,
and
would
be
called
Members
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
all
Sects
and
Sorts
:
Repent
ye
,
of
your
Hypocrisie
,
and
stop
your
mouths
in
the
dust
,
for
you
are
weighed
in
an
equal
Ballance
,
and
are
found
wanting
;
and
are
tried
by
the
Searcher
of
hearts
,
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
are
found
corrupted
;
deceitful
are
you
in
the
Root
,
and
cursed
in
your
Branch
,
deep
and
secret
Hypocrisie
,
Pride
,
and
Coveteousness
,
and
the
love
and
glory
of
the
World
,
and
fleshly
Exaltations
abounds
among
you
;
as
Branches
of
the
Root
wherein
you
grow
:
And
how
can
you
bring
forth
good
fruit
out
of
your
cursed
Ground
?
your
knowledge
is
bruitish
and
vain
,
and
your
outward
conformity
is
a
weariness
to
the
Lord
,
for
you
are
found
Fighters
against
him
,
and
Opposers
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
Deniers
,
and
Contemner
of
his
Light
,
by
which
he
hath
lightened
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
:
You
stumble
at
the
Foundation
,
and
build
upon
the
Sand
;
one
of
you
building
a
Wall
,
and
another
daubing
it
with
untempered
Morter
;
your
hearts
are
not
upright
with
the
Lord
,
but
flatters
your
own
souls
:
Which
of
you
have
denied
the
World
for
Christ
,
or
what
have
you
laid
down
for
him
?
In
your
vain
imaginations
you
worship
God
ignorantly
,
making
his
Commandment●
void
through
your
transgressions
.
You
stand
in
the
cursed
Nature
,
alive
to
the
World
,
following
the
vain
delights
thereof
,
resisting
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
through
your
wisdom
,
which
is
foolishness
with
God
,
you
have
the
profession
of
the
Scriptures
in
your
natural
knowledge
,
but
you
are
without
the
Life
thereof
,
out
of
the
unity
of
the
one
Spirit
of
life
in
severall
meanings
,
and
opinions
,
which
is
death
;
and
in
vain
conceits
are
you
scattered
upon
the
barren
Mountains
,
where
your
souls
are
starved
▪
and
strayed
,
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day
;
and
you
are
devoured
under
your
dumb
Idoll
Shepherds
,
who
are
in
Cains
way
of
wickedness
,
and
in
the
steps
of
all
the
false
Prophets
,
and
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
fulfilling
their
measure
of
wickedness
and
persecution
;
against
them
is
the
wrath
of
God
kindled
to
consume
them
as
stubble
;
they
preach
for
hire
,
and
they
divine
for
money
,
and
they
seek
for
their
gain
from
their
quarter
,
and
they
run
,
and
were
never
sent
,
and
you
are
not
profited
by
them
,
but
are
ever
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
Awake
,
ye
Professors
,
God
calls
unto
you
,
give
ear
unto
his
voyce
,
Come
out
of
Babylon
,
and
turn
unto
Sion
,
that
her
desolate
places
may
be
builded
;
you
wander
abroad
in
the
darkness
,
groping
as
blind
men
,
your
profession
will
wither
,
and
all
your
knowledge
will
consume
away
,
and
your
righteousness
is
abomnation
to
the
Lord
,
your
praying
God
hates
,
and
your
oblations
is
a
weariness
to
him
,
for
you
are
in
the
enmity
against
God
,
and
the
Serpents
head
is
not
bruised
.
Come
down
ye
Cedars
,
who
are
exalted
above
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
make
not
a
cloak
of
the
Saints
words
to
cover
your
unrighteousness
;
grievous
is
your
Idolatry
,
who
have
painted
your selves
with
the
likeness
of
the
Saints
life
,
and
bows
to
the
Image
set
up
in
your
imaginations
,
drawing
near
God
with
your
mouths
,
but
with
your
hearts
going
after
your
coveteousness
:
Repent
,
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
coming
upon
all
flesh
,
and
meet
the
Lord
,
and
prepare
his
way
;
and
bow
your
heads
you
lofty
Oakes
,
who
saith
in
your
hearts
you
are
the
onely
people
,
but
your
lying
hearts
deceives
you
,
and
you
are
found
naked
,
and
without
a
covering
.
All
ye
that
desire
after
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
of
all
sorts
of
people
who
are
simple
and
honest
hearted
,
whether
prophane
or
professor
,
you
have
a
day
of
visitation
from
the
Lord
,
yet
stretched
forth
unto
you
;
Come
ye
unto
the
Lord
,
and
forsake
all
your
lovers
,
lay
aside
your
evil
hearts
which
hath
led
you
aside
from
the
way
of
salvation
,
and
now
learn
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
the
beginning
of
wisdom
,
and
mind
the
one
thing
needful
,
which
is
of
great
prize
,
even
the
salvation
of
your
souls
;
press
after
,
and
come
out
of
the
broad
way
of
perdition
,
wherein
the
world
goes
on
to
destruction
,
and
enter
into
the
strait-way
,
where
the
unclean
walks
not
;
cease
from
all
the
deceitful
wayes
and
worships
of
the
world
,
and
love
truth
,
and
walk
in
simplicity
.
Cease
from
all
your
Idoll
Temples
,
for
God
dwells
not
in
them
,
but
his
Saints
are
his
Temples
,
wherein
he
dwells
and
walks
:
cease
from
all
your
Idoll
worships
,
and
feigned
prayers
,
and
praises
,
for
God
is
not
worshipped
in
vain
traditions
,
as
in
observing
dayes
,
and
times
,
and
outward
things
,
but
in
Spirit
and
truth
is
he
worshipped
,
and
such
he
seeks
to
worship
him
,
and
a
broken
spirit
and
an
upright
heart
is
accepted
with
him
.
Cease
from
all
your
Idol
Shepherds
,
and
Priests
of
Baal
,
that
preaches
for
hire
,
and
divines
for
money
,
and
seeks
for
their
gain
from
their
quarter
,
for
they
profit
not
the
people
at
all
,
who
are
ever
learning
while
they
live
upon
earth
,
and
none
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
:
therefore
cease
from
man
,
and
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
who
is
now
risen
to
teach
his
people
by
his
Spirit
in
his
way
of
truth
and
righteousness
,
in
his
peace
and
purity
,
where
his
blessing
is
received
from
his
presence
,
which
is
with
all
that
fear
him
.
Therefore
awake
,
awake
out
of
darkness
,
and
love
not
to
slumber
in
the
dark
night
,
which
long
hath
ruled
over
you
;
this
is
the
day
of
your
return
,
and
of
your
visitation
,
wherein
the
Lord
would
gather
you
;
Therefore
resist
not
the
love
of
the
Lord
,
wherein
he
calls
you
to
repentance
from
dead
works
to
serve
him
in
righteousness
;
but
every
one
turn
your
minds
inward
,
to
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
wherewith
every
one
of
you
is
lightned
,
which
light
is
it
which
convinceth
you
of
sin
,
and
lets
you
see
your
evil
deeds
,
and
whom
you
have
served
,
and
how
you
have
spent
your
time
;
the
Light
shines
in
darkness
,
and
reveals
unto
you
the
secret
intents
of
your
dark
hearts
,
and
doth
secretly
reprove
the
wicked
purposes
of
your
minds
:
with
this
light
in
your
consciences
,
your
sins
are
written
,
and
all
that
ever
you
have
done
is
recorded
;
and
this
light
shall
be
the
swift
witness
,
and
the
condemnation
of
the
wicked
,
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
;
and
by
it
all
your
works
will
be
brought
to
remembrance
,
and
your
sins
will
be
set
in
order
before
you
,
to
receive
judgement
by
Christ
Jesus
:
And
here
is
the
free
love
and
gift
of
God
unto
you
,
who
hath
given
you
a
light
to
guide
you
in
his
way
;
if
you
own
it
,
and
wait
in
it
,
it
will
manifest
the
judgements
of
God
against
sin
in
you
,
and
will
condemn
sin
in
your
flesh
,
and
will
reveal
the
righteousness
of
God
to
be
your
covering
;
if
you
dwell
in
the
light
,
it
is
your
Teacher
,
and
way
unto
life
eternal
,
and
if
you
bring
all
your
deeds
to
it
,
it
will
reprove
every
evil
word
and
work
,
and
give
you
discerning
of
things
that
differ
,
it
will
manifest
the
secretest
deceit
of
your
heart
,
and
winding
of
the
Serpent
,
and
will
be
judge
thereof
,
till
unrighteousness
be
taken
away
,
and
a
birth
brought
forth
from
above
,
and
born
of
another
nature
and
Seed
,
which
if
you
be
not
born
again
,
you
cannot
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
Therefore
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
all
consider
,
and
search
your selves
;
in
tender
love
to
all
your
souls
I
write
:
You
must
be
judged
in
the
flesh
,
that
you
may
be
justified
in
the
Spirit
,
and
you
must
be
made
poor
,
and
emptied
of
all
your
knowledge
,
and
wisdom
,
that
you
may
be
filled
,
and
made
truly
wise
.
So
if
you
believe
in
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
,
and
life
,
of
the
world
,
your
hearts
will
be
cleansed
by
the
word
of
God
,
which
endures
for
ever
;
and
the
Covenant
of
peace
will
be
established
with
you
,
where
sin
is
no
more
remembred
,
being
condemned
,
so
●ow
you
have
all
time
,
this
is
to
you
all
a
warning
,
as
I
was
moved
of
the
Lord
.
Repent
,
the
dreadfull
day
is
at
hand
,
and
meet
the
Lord
,
by
confessing
and
forsaking
your
sins
,
and
prepare
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
his
coming
draweth
near
,
lest
his
Judgments
come
upon
you
unawares
,
and
his
Wrath
sweep
you
away
in
fury
,
and
your
Nation
become
more
cursed
then
the
rest
;
all
your
applying
of
Christ's
Righteousness
,
whilst
your selves
are
Sinners
,
is
to
no
purpose
,
for
no
Hypocrite
can
enter
into
Life
,
nor
none
that
work
wickedness
have
Eternal
Life
abiding
in
them
,
but
are
in
the
death
,
which
hath
passed
over
all
men
,
and
the
curse
remaineth
upon
the
Disobedient
,
and
all
in
the
first
nature
are
Children
of
wrath
.
Therefore
every
one
wait
in
the
Light
,
that
you
may
be
changed
,
and
take
up
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
that
your
own
wills
,
affections
,
lusts
,
and
desires
,
may
be
crucified
,
and
you
may
become
dead
to
the
World
,
and
may
live
unto
God
,
in
his
Nature
and
Likeness
,
that
your
souls
may
be
satisfied
therewith
,
and
all
that
hunger
and
thirst
after
Righteousness
shall
be
filled
with
the
true
Food
.
Therefore
wait
,
all
you
that
fear
the
Lord
,
and
meet
together
in
his
Counsel
,
and
wait
for
his
Law
that
you
may
walk
therein
,
and
lay
aside
the
works
of
Darkness
,
which
are
made
manifest
by
the
Light
,
and
also
condemned
,
in
all
that
come
to
Sion
.
Spend
not
your
time
in
the
vain
deceits
of
the
World
,
nor
follow
no●
the
delights
thereof
,
for
according
to
your
works
must
you
be
judged
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
.
Depart
from
Iniquity
,
and
all
the
works
of
the
Flesh
,
Pride
and
Cotousness
,
Lying
,
Swearing
,
and
Double-dealing
,
and
all
the
fruits
of
unrighteousness
,
let
them
be
judged
;
and
let
the
time
past
be
sufficient
that
you
have
wrought
evil
,
and
now
return
,
and
work
Righteousness
in
God
,
by
the
Light
,
which
all
that
love
,
works
in
God
.
And
deceive
not
your selves
,
with
a
deceitful
covering
,
of
self-making
,
and
self-righteousness
,
professing
Scriptures
in
your
carnal
minds
,
which
was
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
,
and
is
not
understood
,
but
by
the
same
Spirit
:
Whilst
the
first
nature
stands
alive
in
you
,
you
cannot
please
God
,
but
are
in
the
emnity
against
him
:
Humble
your selves
,
and
come
down
to
the
Light
,
and
search
your
hearts
thereby
.

the
Lofty

High-minded

unto

Therefore
,
Awake
,
awake
,
ye
Careless
and
Unbelieving
,
and
fear
and
tremble
ye
Children
of
disobedience
,
who
hate

upholds
your

the

for
this
is
the
Condemnation
of

That
Light
is

it

be

Christ
Jesus
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
the
true
Light
,
which
lightneth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
and
by
which
every
one
of
you
is
lightned
,
which
Light
,
if
it
you
love
,
and
be
guided
by
,
it
will
lead
you
out
of
the
Worlds
way
and
nature
,
and
unrighteousness
,
and
will
give
you
an
entrance
into
Etetnal
Life
and
Peace
,
and
an
assurance
in
Christ
when
this
World
ceases
to
be
;
and
in
this
World
it
will
teach
you
how
to
serve
God
in
Righteousness
in
your
Generation
;
and
to
give
righteous
Judgments
and
Councels
among
your
Brethren
without

of
Persons
,
for
the
Law
of
Gods
respects
no
mans
Person

nor
Justice
regards
not
the
Person
of
the
Mighty
;
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
in
your
Consciences
,
and
in
all
mens
Consciences
,
is
just
and
one
with
Christ
,
and
one
with
the
Law
of
God
,
in
its
measure
,
and
condemneth
the
unjust
,
and
all
works
of
wickedness
,
who
against
it
do
act
;
by
which
Light
every
one
of
you
being
guided
,
your
own
Consciences
in
particular
will
be
exercised
towards
God
and
towards
men
,
and
by
him
you
being
ruled
and
judged
,
will
know
how
to
rule
and
judge
for
him
in
the
World
among
men
,
who
are
required
for
God
to
rule
and
judge
in
righteousness
and
equity
;
and
none
can
rule
for
God
,
but
who
are
ruled
by
him
,
with
his
Light
that
shines
in
the
Conscience
,
by
which
you
being
governed
,
will
by
it
govern
in
the
Earth
righteously
.
You
are
not
to
judge
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
for
if
you
do
,
you
judge
not
for
God
,
but
for
your selves
,
and
you
and
your
Judgment
is
to
be
judged
and
condemned
with
the
righteous
Law
of
God
,
which
is
free
;
but
such
who
fear
God
and
hate
covetousness
,
and
gifts
,
and
rewards
,
are
to
bear
rule
,
and
such
will
handle
the
Law
righteously
,
and
will
be
a
terror
to
evil
Doers
,
who
do
not
fear
God
,
but
act
contrary
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
so
transgress
the
just
Law
,
and
brings
themselves
under
the
guilt
,
and
so
under
condemnation
;
and
such
a
Government
will
stand
for
the
praise
of
them
that
do
well
,
and
encouraging
of
the
Upright
;
but
if
such
bear
rule
and
handle
the
Law
which
know
not
God
,
nor
is
not
ruled
by
him
,
these
will
abuse
the
Law
,
and
will
be
a
terror
to
righteousness
,
and
good
works
,
and
will
strengthen
the
hands
of
Evil-doers
,
and
will
let
Vice
and
Wickedness
escape
unpunished
.
This
I
speak
in
love
to
all
your
Souls
,
to
the
informing
of
all
your
minds
,
that
you
may
know
your
place
,
and
how
to
exalt
Justice
and
Judgment
;
the
Light
of
the
Son
of
God
,
by
which
every
man
is
lighted
,
is
but
one
in
all
,
just
,
righteous
and
equal
;
the
same
in
him
that
hates
it
,
and
transgresseth
the
righteous
Law
,
as
it
is
in
him
that
loves
it
,
and
judges
all
transgressions
.
And
this
Light
of
Christ
,
by
which
all
men
are
lightned
,
is
the
Seat
of
Justice
,
and
true
Judgment
,
and
the
Ground
of
all
good
wholsom
Laws
,
)
and
every
Law
that
is
contrary
to
it
is
for
condemnation
by
it
:
Therefore
,
I
say
,
wait
in
the
Light
,
by
which
you
are
lightned
,
to
receive
the
pure
Law
of
God
to
judge
all
Causes
by
,
and
make
no
Law
in
your
own
wills
,
nor
act
not
in
such
Laws
made
by
the
will
of
man
,
for
such
Laws
are
oppression
,
and
tyranny
lodges
in
them
,
and
false
judgment
,
and
such
God
hath
and
will
cast
out
,
who
act
from
that
ground
.
So
be
ye
warned
by
their
fall
,
and
judge
not
after
your
own
thoughts
,
nor
sensual
carnal
wisdom
,
nor
follow
not
your
own
wills
,
nor
the
counsel
of
your
own
hearts
;
but
stand
in
God's
Counsel
,
and
fear
his
Name
,
and
tremble
at
his
Presence
,
and
wait
to
be
guided
by
him
in
his
holy
Law
,
which
all
unrighteous
counsels
,
and
vain
affections
,
and
false
judgments
will
condemn
in
your
own
hearts
,
and
then
you
will
truely
know
how
to
judge
your
Brethren
in
Equity
and
Righteousness
,
how
to
reward
well
Doers
,
and
how
to
punish
evil
Doers
according
to
the
measure
of
their
transgressions
,
and
according
to
the
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
,
by
which
they
being
convinced
from
your
Law
,
of
the
evil
of
their
transgression
,
will
confess
your
Law
and
Judgment
to
be
just
and
equal
,
and
you
to
be
righteous
Judges
;
here
you
judge
for
God
,
and
bear
not
the
Sword
in
vain
,
but
are
a
Terror
to
Transgressors
,
and
to
the
Disobedient
,
and
Lawless
,
against
which
the
Law
was
only
added
,
to
slay
unrighteousness
;
but
it
was
not
made
for
the
Righteous
,
whose
Consciences
are
exercised
towards
God
and
towards
man
,
by
the
pure
Law
of
God
written
in
the
heart
:
and
upon
such
,
and
over
such
your
Law
hath
no
power
,
for
they
are
one
,
and
in
union
with
that
Law
which
is
righteous
,
and
do
witness
the
justness
,
and
goodness
,
and
holiness
of
it
;
but
if
you
make
a
Law
in
your
own
wills
,
and
judge
by
such
a
Law
,
then
you
will
make
the
Innocent
suffer
,
and
oppress
them
who
walk
in
the
Law
of
God
,
and
in
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
:
Christ
was
put
to
death
by
such
a
Law
,
and
the
Saints
in
all
Generations
were
persecuted
by
such
Laws
,
which
were
made
in
the
will
of
man
,
contrary
to
the
Will
and
Law
God
:
Therefore
take
●eed
to
your selves
lest
God
hew
you
down
and
your
Law
together
,
and
condemn
yo●
by
his
righteous
Law
eternally
,
which
Law
of
God
needs
not
to
be
made
,
but
i●
made
already
,
and
to
be
witnessed
by
the
Light
in
every
mans
Conscience
to
Justification
,
or
condemnation
,
and
is
revealed
in
all
that
love
Righteousness
.
So
take
heed
what
you
do
,
and
know
your
place
,
and
the
length
and
breadth
o●
your
law
,
which
is
committed
to
you
,
which
is
to
keep
the
outward
man
in
good
order
,
and
the
Nations
in
peace
and
truth
,
and
from
Theft
,
and
Murder
,
and
Adultry
,
and
Fighting
,
and
Quarrelling
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Wronging
one
another
,
and
such
like
;
such
who
acts
these
things
walk
contrary
to
the
Light
,
and
so
brings
themselves
under
the
penalty
of
the
law
;
but
over
the
inward
man
you
law
which
is
outward
hath
no
power
to
bind
,
to
limit
or
to
tie
too
or
from
any
way
of
worship
in
Religion
,
but
let
Religion
defend
it self
,
and
lay
not
your
la●
upon
the
Conscience
,
to
exercise
dominion
over
it
,
for
it
is
Christs
Seat
,
in
who●
he
will
rule
;
lest
you
be
found
Tyrants
,
and
numbred
for
destruction
;
nor
li●●●
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
how
,
when
,
where
,
and
by
whom
it
must
speak
;
for
the
Holy-men
of
God
in
all
Ages
,
ever
cryed
against
such
laws
as
were
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
did
limit
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
against
such
Rulers
as
did
judge
false
Judgment
,
and
for
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
;
and
against
such
Priest●
and
Prophets
as
preached
for
Hire
and
divined
for
Money
,
and
sought
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
and
made
a
prey
upon
the
People
,
and
through
Coveteousness
made
merchandize
of
souls
:
Therefore
be
ye
warned
,
if
such
you
uphold
by
a
law
,
which
act
those
things
which
the
Scripture
declares
against
,
which
the
Holy-men
of
God
gave
forth
by
his
Spirit
;
the
Scripture
which
you
profess
shall
stand
a
Witness
against
you
,
and
the
Law
of
God
will
condemn
you
;
and
God
will
lay
your
honour
in
the
dust
,
and
cast
you
out
of
the
Seat
of
Judgment
▪
But
judge
the
cause
of
the
Poor
,
and
Needy
,
of
the
Widow
,
and
Fatherless
,
and
joyn
Mercy
with
Judgment
,
and
lay
your
Swords
upon
oppression
,
and
all
tyrany
,
and
wrong
dealing
;
that
the
Land
may
cleansed
of
evil
Doers
,
and
Equity
and
Righteousness
may
flow
down
,
and
the
Nation
in
good
order
may
be
kept
i●
Peace
and
Righteousness
;
and
so
God
will
establish
you
among
his
Children
,
who
are
taught
of
him
alone
,
and
are
far
from
oppression
:
To
the
Light
of
God
in
all
your
Consciences
I
do
speak
,
which
if
you
make
laws
contrary
to
it
,
and
judge
contrary
to
it
,
it
is
the
eternal
Condemnation
of
you
,
and
of
your
laws
,
and
judgment
.
And
remember
you
are
warned
in
your
▪
life
time
▪
and
my
Conscience
is
cleared
to
you
,
and
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
you
shall
witness
〈◊〉
to
be
tru●

this
to
be
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
you
,
whether
you
will
hear

Written

you
by
a
Friend

and
true
Iudgment
from
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
as
moved
of
him
in
love
to
all
your

;
to
go
abroad
among
the
Heads

and
Rulers
,

Iudges
in
Dublin

elsewhere
through
the
Nation
of
Ireland

from

Edward

Written

the
23d
of

1655.
And
now
Oye
Heads

Rulers
,
happy
had
you
been
if
you
had
taken
the
counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
submitted
to
have
obeyed
his
▪
Word
,
which
came
to
you
as
moved
of
him
,
but
in
that
you
have
neglected
,
and
have
made
laws
in
your
will
,
and
exercise
lordship
over
the
Conscience
,
and
have
limited
the
Lord
,
and
have
purposed
to
●e
a

to
good
,
and
strengthened
the
wicked
,
and
have
not
regarded
the
Will
of
God
,
but
have
persecuted

imprisoned
the
Innocent
,
and
●udged
〈◊〉
your

therefore
according
to
the
Word

Commander

WE

This
Exhortation

the
behalf
of
himself
and
Fra.
Howgill

who
was

with
him
in

;
we
who
stand
in
his
Fear

and
know
his
Co●nsel
,
are
moved
of
him
who
lives
for
ever
,
who
is
,
I
Am
,
and
there
is
none
besides
him
;
to
clear
our
Consciences
,
and
our
Lords
Truth
,
from
the
Lyes
and
Slanders
which
are
cast
upon
us
,
and
the
Good
Way
of
the
Lord
;
which
envious
spirits
,
wh●●
are
proud
and
know
nothing

that
cannot
abide
sound
Doctrine

do
reproach
and
slander
us

and
by
false
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
things
to
our
charge
which
we
never
kn●w

therefore
we
being
innocent
and
clear
cannot
but
deny
and
〈◊〉
witness
against
all
those
proceedings
,
which
are
●ot
according
to
the
Law
of
Righteousness

lay
th●…
at

nearly
concern●

Unto
thee
Henry
Cromwel
who
is
Commander
in
chief
for
the
Affairs
of
Ireland
,
and
to
thy
Council
we
write
.
We
have
seen
two
several
Warrants
●●der
your
〈◊〉
,
dated
at
Dublin
,
and
in
them
both
you
say
,
You
have
received
information
at
your
board
,
of
great
disorders
,
and
disturbances
of
〈◊〉
in
the
Cou●…
of
●●rk●
,
and
Places
adjacent
,
by
Francis
Howgill
a●d
Edward
Burrough
.
This
we
say
unto
you
;
your
Informer
hath
declared
an
●●truth
at
your
Board
,
and
we
de●●re
that
you
may
make
it
appear
where
in
we
have
made
any
disturbance
,
or
disorder
;
all
these
things
in
your
Warrants
we
deny
and
do
charge
you
in
the
Name
of
the
God
of
Justice
,
to
send
for
them
that
so
informed
you
,
that
have
so
abused
you
,
and
are
so
bold
and
impudent
,
as
to
declare
unto
you
any
such
thing
,
and
so
have
caused
you
to
bring
guilt
upon
your selves
,
in
sending
ou●
your
Warrants
to
bring
the
Innocent
before
your
Judgment-seat
;
and
caused
us
to
be
dragged
a
hundred
Miles
from
place
to
place
,
as
M●lefactors
,
and
as
though
we
had
done
some
criminal
act
;
and
when
we
have
dome
before
yo●
▪
you
had
nothing
to
lay
to
our
charge
▪
but
have
endeavoured
to
give
Sentence
of
Banishment
of
us
out
of
your
Nation
,
who
are
free-born
English
men
,
nor
have
we
been
burthenfom
to
your
Nation
,
nor
transgressed
any
known
Law
of
the
Nation
;
and
you
have
judged
us
before
our
〈◊〉
came
;
and
herein
you
do
us
great
injustice
,
and
you
act
contrary
to
the
Law
of
Equity
,
and
that
which
you
your selves
in
your
own
case
would
not
allo●
,
to
that
in
all
your
Consciences
I
speak
.
Oh
,
that
ever
you
should
thus
req●…
the
Lord
for
his
Love
and
Mercy
,
in
breaking
the
Yoak
o●
the
Oppressor
from
off
your
necks
;
and
now
power
is
given
into
your
hands
to
relieve
the
Innocent
,
and
to
set
the
Opressed
free
,
to
execute
Judgment
and
righteousness
upon
the
Transgressors
,
whom
the
Law
is
against
.
And
this
doth
God
require
of
you
,
that
his
Wi●●
may
be
done
,
and
your
wills
denied
,
that
so
the
Nation
may
be
established
in
Righteousness
,
and
that
your
latter
end
may
be
better
then
your
beginning
;
but
if
you
go
on
in
the
way
you
are
beginning
,
and
●ur●
Justice
backward
,
and
l●●
Equity
fall
in
the
Streets
,
and
not
suffer
Judgment
to
enter
,
then
misery
will
be
your
end
.
Wo
is
me
,
for
you
have
all
forgot
the
Rock
from
whence
you
were
h●●en
,
and
the
Deliverances
of
the
Lord
to
you
in
the
time
of
di●●●●ss
,
yea
,
you
have
forgotten
,
and
your
hearts
are
lifted
up
;
and
by
your
policy
think
to
establish
your
own
wills
,
and
to
limit
the
Holy
One
a
Way
,
and
set
up
your
Standard
by
his
,
and
tru●●
in
the
ar●
of
flesh
:
What
is
become
of
the
liberty
of
tender
Consciences
you
hav●
spoken
of
,
and
we
have
engaged
with
you
to
purchase
?
And
is
it
ended
in
this
?
O●
horrible
hypocrisie
!
that
they
who
bear
witness
against
all
sin
,
and
iniquity
,
and
against
all
deceit
,
that
they
should
now
be
made
a
prey
of
.
And
we
charge
all
i●
the
Name
of
the
Living
God
in
Ireland
to
convince
us
of
evil
,
or
the
transgression
of
any
Law
;
and
if
it
cannot
be
done
,
let
none
lay
hold
on
us
,
to
abridge
〈◊〉
of
our
liberty
,
lest
you
bring
guilt
upon
your selves
.
And
do
not
take
counsel
at
them
nor
hold
them
up
,
who
are
Hirelings
,
and
walk
in
the
steps
of
the
false
Prophets
,
and
in
the
error
of
Balaam
,
who
speak
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
who
in
all
Generations
resisted
every
appearance
of
God
in
his
Saints
,
and
now
would
make
all
bow
to
their
Image
;
and
they
bend
their
tongues
,
and
report
Lyes
,
and
make
Lyes
their
refuge
,
the
Hand
of
the
dreadful
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
against
them
;
yea
,
the
Lord
will
thunder
from
Heaven
against
them
,
they
shall
be
blown
away
in
the
Whirle-wind
of
Gods
Wrath
,
who
have
perverted
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
because
they
stand
not
in
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
but
flatter
you
,
〈◊〉
they
have
done
the
Princes
in
all
Generations
,
till
all
were
laid
waste
together
.
Wo
is
me
for
you
,
Have
you
consulted
,
have
you
taken
counsel
together
agai●●●
the
Lord
,
and
his
Servants
,
whom
he
hath
sent
unto
you
,
and
do
you
thus
requi●●
the
Lord
already
?
Have
you
sent
out
your
Decree
,
to
shut
out
and
root
out
the
Seed
of
Iacob
in
a
day
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
made
choice
of
above
all
the
Families
of
the
Earth
?
Surely
your
Decree
will
be
broken
,
and
your
Cords
wi●●
〈◊〉
but
as
a
Bulrush
;
for
them
whom
you
now
set
at
nought
are
precious
in
the
Ey●●
of
the
Lord
,
and
unto
our
God
shall
you
bow
,
and
worship
at
his
feet
.
Consider
,
if
there
be
any
honesty
left
among
you
;
What
is
become
of
all
the
Persecut●●●
of
old
?
And
will
you
tell
of
Reformation
,
and
yet
act
in
the
foot-steps
of
the
Persecutors
?
If
you
go
on
,
you
are
at
the
brink
of
destruction
,
and
at
●●e
sides
of
the
pit
;
and
you
will
be
made
a
ruinous
Heap
,
and
as
desolate
as
Mo●…
Esau
,
which
is
a
place
for
Dragons
:
Was
not
persecution
ever
blind
?
Would
they
ever
own
themselves
to
be
such
?
For
verily
if
you
knew
us
,
you
would
〈◊〉
have
done
so
unto
us
.
When
Herod
stretched
out
his
hand
to
vex
certain
of
the
Church
,
the
next
you
hear
of
him
,
he
is
eaten
up
of
Worms
.
The
dread
of
the
Lord
of
Host
is
upon
all
the
proud
,
and
lofty
,
and
high
Oaks
,
and
the
wind
o●
the
Almighty
shall
blow
them
all
down
root
and
branch
,
and
all
your
strength
,
is
which
you
trust
,
if
you
take
counsel
at
Aegypt
,
will
become
as
a
bowed
Wall
,
and

Oh
,
ye
Potsheards

do
you
think
y●●
can
limit
the
Lord
?
will
he
be
instructed
by
you

he
that
reproves
him

let
hi●
answer

Can
you
command
the
wind

it

C●●
you
stop

Waves

Can

If

all

resist
the
Lord
in
his

Work
which
he

he

confound

the

of

make
all

who

Oh
,
ye
Potsheards
,
fear
and
tremble
before
him
,
who
is
a
consuming
Fire
to
all
the
ungodly

who
is
visiting
the
Transgressors
with
vengeance
dread

fury

and
putting
into

a
Cup

trembling
,
and
making
Ierusalem

all
that
meddle

they

and
bow
themselves

sink
under
it

and
be
crushed
as
with
a
Cart-wheel
to
pie●es

and
their

shall
rot
from

and
all
shall
know
our
God
is
the
living
God

yea
,
the
God
of

,
yea
,
there
is
none
like
him
;
and
know
this
,
no
power
you
had
of
us
,
except
it
had
been
from
above
.
We
were
with
you
in
the
City
of
Dublin
near
three
moneths
,
some
of
us
,
and
none
laid
hands
on
us
,
but
the
time
was
not
come
,
and
till
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord
▪
was
near
finished
,
which
he
sent
us
to
do
,
none
could
lay
hands
on
us
:
And
know
this
,
though
this
be
a
time
of
temptation
and
trial
,
yet
it
shall
be
for
the
furtherance
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
;
and
though
you
think
in
your
hearts
,
by
sending
us
out
of
your
Nation
,
that
so
all
will
cease
,
and
Deceit
will
stand
without
molestation
;
I
tell
you
,
nay
,
even
the
children
that
are
yet
in
the
womb
shall
be
brought
forth
,
and
hear
witness
against
the
deceit
of
this
Generation
.
And
know
this
,
there
is
a
Stump
,
which
is
but
little
,
which
is
bound
about
,
as
with
Iron
and
Brass
,
and
out
of
it
shall
spring
fire
,
that
shall
be
kindled
,
and
flame
to
the
torment
of
all
them
who
worship
the
Beast
,
and
have
received
his
mark
,
and
to
the
tormenting
of
all
the
false
Prophets
in
the
Nation
,
and
it
shall
burn
,
and
none
shall
be
able
to
quench
it
;
many
shall
bear
witness
unto
us
,
that
we
came
not
in
our
own
names
,
but
in
the
Name
of
the
Living
Eternal
God
,
who
by
his
power
hath
accomplished
his
own
Work
,
for
his
own
Glory
,
and
many
shall
bless
us
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
;
and
all
our
Opposers
shall
gnash
their
Teeth
,
and
gnaw
their
tongues
for
pain
,
for
the
torment
that
is
coming
upon
them
;
all
that
have
resisted
the
Counsel
of
the
most
high
God
,
and
have
gainsayed
the
Lord
,
they
shall
perish
in
their
gainsaying
,
and
we
are
clear
and
free
from
the
blood
of
all
men
in
this
Nation
thus
far
;
yea
,
of
every
City
,
Town
,
and
Village
,
unto
which
we
were
moved
to
go
;
and
the
blood
of
all
the
rest
be
upon
those
that
have
resisted
us
;
and
a
good
savour
we
are
unto
God
in
them
that
have
believed
in
his
Name
,
of
whom
we
have
born
true
witness
unto
,
and
in
them
that
perish
we
are
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
.
And
oh
thou
City

thou
art
as
Moab

at

art
lifted

oh

vain

of
deceit

of
lust

a

untoward
People

Oh

your
abominations
are
loathsom
to
all
the
Children
of
Light
,
professing
God
in
words
,
but
in
your
lives

deny
him
:
oh
,
that
thou
hadst
known
in
this
thy
day
the
things
that
belong
to
thy
peace
;
a
crooked
Generation
you

be
laid

nor
Sword
bring
thee
into
subjection
unto
the
Lord
?
will
neither
Mercy
nor
Judgment
take
place
in
your
hearts
?
Oh
,
how
long
shall
the
Lord
bear
with
you
?
how
long
shall
he
spare
you
?
his
long-suffering
is
near
at
an
end
;
his
patience
is
near
out
concerning
you
;
and
then
,
wo
wo
to
him
that
shall
see
the
day
which
will
come
;
the
Lord
will
arise
as
a
Lion
,
and
will
rend
and
tear
you
,
and
his
Sword
shall
be
bathed
in
the
blood
of
his
Enemies
,
and
he
shall
be
wrath
,
as
in
the
Valley
of
Acor
,
and
as
in
the
dayes
of
Gib●a
,
and
will
bring
ye
down
ye
Mountains
,
and
level
you
ye
Hills
,
and
will
make
his
Name
known
in
your
overthrow
,
except
ye
repent
;
and
they
that
are
round
about
you
,
when
they
shall
see
Calamity
coming
upon
you
,
this
shall
be
their
Proverb
,
This
is
the
City
and
People
that
dispised
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
contemned
the
Instructions
of
the
most
high
God

provoked
the
Lord
to
wrath

till
his
Patience
was
worn
out
,
and
his
Long-suffering
came
to
an
end
,
and
therefore
is
this
evil
come
upon

the

for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,

for
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience

do
lay
down
our
cause
before

to
the
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
in
all
your
Consciences
we
appeal
in
this
our
cause
of
Rightousness
and
Innocency
,
to
be
judged
thereby
;
We
are
men
fearing
God
,
and
working
righteousness
,
and
are
Friends
to
the
Commonwealth
of
Israel
,
and
are
Exalte●s
of
Justice
and
true
Judgment
in
the
Earth
,
and
are
subject
to
all
just
power
,
and
to
every
just
ordinance
of
man
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
have
suffered
the
loss
of
all
,
and
have
born
part
of
the
burthen
with
you
,
that
we
might
obtain
the
freedom
of
the
righteous
Seed
,
and
the
liberty
of
tender
Conscience
,
to
serve
the
Lord
in
his
own
way
;
and
we
are
well
known
to
the
Lord
,
though
Strangers
to
you
,
and
are
Free-men
in
the
record
of
Heaven
,
though
now
Sufferers
unjustly
under
your
present
authority
,
who
have
taken
the
place
of
exercising
lordship
over
our
pure
Consciences
,
and
have
imprisoned
us
,
and
endeavoured
to
give
judgment
of
banishing
us
,
onely
upon
false
Accusations
and
Informations
,
and
Slanders
,
without
the
proof
or
testimony
of

Accusation

〈◊〉
justly
laid
to
our
charge
.
And
to
you
hereby
be
it
known
,
that
not
for
evil
doing
do
we
thus
suffer
;
for
to
this
present
no
man
hath
convinced
us
of
any
evil
,
nor
justly
proved
the
transgression
of
any
Law
(
Martial
or
Civil
)
against
us
,
though
we
stand
accused
of
many
grievous
things
,
of
which
we
are
clearly
innocent
in
the
sight
of
him
that
lives
for
ever
▪
and
do
nothing
more
desire
herein
but
●o
be
tryed
by
the
Law
of
Equity
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
judged
according
thereunto
▪
By
vertue
of
command
given
unto
us
by
the
eternal
Spirit
of
the
Lord
came
we
into
this
Land
of
Ireland
,
contrary
to
the
will
of
man
,
not
to
seek
our selves
,
nor
our
own
glory
,
not
to
prejudice
your
Nation
,
nor
Government
,
nor
to
be
hurtful
to
your
Commonwealth
,
but
with
the
Message
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
Jesus
we
came
to
turn
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
Power
of
God
,
and
〈◊〉
minister
the
Word
of
Reconciliation
,
and
Salvation
●●eely
(
without
a
Gift
or
a
Reward
)
unto
lost
souls
;
and
hereof
God
is
our
Witness
▪
and
also
we
have
the
seal●
of
our
Ministry
,
which
unto
us
herein
can
give
testimony
by
the
same
Spirit
,
and
this
are
●e
ready
to
seal
with
our
blood
.
And
these
six
moneths
and
upwards
have
we
laboured
in
travels
,
and
sufferings
,
and
reproaches
;
and
have
passed
through
your
Cities
and
Towns
in
soberness
;
and
in
meekness
have
we
preached
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
have
holden
forth
the
Word
of
Truth
,
and
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
;
and
our
lives
have
we
not
loved
till
this
day
,
though
sometimes
dangers
on
every
side
have
beset
us
,
that
we
might
hold
forth
the
Faith
of
Jesus
,
the
Authour
of
our
profession
,
in
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
,
both
by
doctrine
and
conversation
,
and
herein
we
are
justified
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
who
is
he
that
condemns
us
?
And
do
call
Heaven
and
Earth
to
record
,
and
the
Light
in
all
mens
Consciences
,
who
have
heard
our
Doctrine
,
and
seen
our
conversation
,
to
witness
for
us
herein
;
and
we
challenge
all
your
Nation
of
Ireland
,
our
very
Enemies
,
to
prove
the
contrary
,
though
otherwise
we
stand
falsly
accused
,
and
falsly
reputed
to
be
Disturbers
,
and
Makers
of
disorders
,
to
the
breach
of
publique
Peace
,
and
such
like
grievous
things
upon
the
false
Information
;
whereof
a
Warrant
was
issued
out
from
the
chief
Ruler
and
Council
of
Ireland
,
and
we
thereby
were
apprehended
in
the
City
of
Corke
,
and
haled
by
Guards
,
as
Malefactors
too
,
before
the
Council
in
this
City
,
where
none
of
all
these
false
Accusations
were
,
or
could
be
proved
against
us
,
nor
the
transgression
of
any
known
Law
could
we
be
convicted
of
,
and
though
occasions
were
sought
against
us
▪
yet
none
could
be
found
,
and
though
snares
were
laid
for
our
feet
,
yet
were
we
not
entrapped
,
but
were
cleared
in
the
sight
of
God
,
witnessed
by
the
Light
in
all
their
Consciences
,
and
were
found
innocent
,
and
without
reproof
in
the
Eye
of
the
Lord
;
and
by
our
innocency
were
their
orders
of
false
Accusations
made
of
none
effect
,
and
we
thus
far
proved
to
be
guiltless
before
the
Throne
of
true
Judgment
:
Yet
notwithstanding
contrary
to
the
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
contrary
to
the
just
Laws
of
the
Nations
(
which
afford
freedom
to
the
Free-born
and
Righteous
)
were
we
committed
to
Prison
,
without
conviction
or
any
guilt
charged
upon
us
,
or
the
least
appearance
of
evil
towards
any
man's
person
,
though
falsly
accused
,
yet
no
true
testimony
given
against
us
,
whereby
our
boldness
in
the
Way
of
the
Lord
could
be
discouraged
,
as
having
the
Testimony
of
the
Spirit
of
God
bearing
us
witness
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
that
in
all
good
Conscience
towards
God
and
towards
man
we
have
lived
to
this
day
,
and
so
are
without
reproof
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
all
just
Men
;
and
though
upon
search
and
examination
we
were
found
guiltless
thus
far
,
yet
further
hath
the
Enemy
the
Devil
prevailed
in
cruelty
against
the
Innocent
,
that
it
is
endeavoured
that
we
be
banished
,
under
the
account
of
Vagabonds
,
which
last
Accusation
is
the
most
false
and
unrighteous
;
for
we
challenge
this
,
Of
whom
have
we
begged
?
or
to
whom
have
we
been
burdensome
?
or
whose
bread
have
we
eaten
for
nothing
?
or
what
evil
have
we
done
?
Where
is
the
testimony
of
your
Slanders
?
But
innocently
do
we
suffer
these
things
,
bearing
reproaches
,
and
binding
the
cruelty
done
unto
us
,
as
Chains
about
our
necks
,
and
as
Crowns
upon
our
heads
,
having
the
assurance
that
for
well
doing
we
suffer
these
things
from
the
hands
of
the
Rulers
,
through
the
Lies
and
Slanders
of
the
Teachers
,
who
are
in
Cain's
way
of
persecution
,
till
they
have
fulfilled
their
measure
of
wickedness
,
and
be
laid
waste
as
the
Wilderness
.
And
this
is
our
cause
,
and
hereby
it
comes
before
you
,
by
the
Light
of
Christ
in
your
Consciences
to
be
judged
;
if
your
Hearts
be
not
altogether
hardened
,
and
your
Minds
wholly
blinded
;
and
we
lay
it
at
the
door
,
to
receive
sentence
from
you
,
and
without
respect
of
persons
,
holds
forth
our
guiltless
cause
before
you
,
not
begging
any
thing
from
you
,
but
herein
to
clear
our
Consciences
,
that
you
may
save
your selves
from
this
untoward
Generation
,
whose
Root
is
corrupt
,
and
Fruit
bitterness
;
for
while
we
have
breath
from

A
Challenge
to
the
Priests
of
Dublin
,
to
try
their
God
,
and
their
Ministry
,
and
their
Worships
.
WE
the
Servants
and
faithful
Witnesses
of
the
most
High
God
,
called
and
chosen
of
him
,
and
redeemed
out
of
Nations
,
Kindreds
,
Tongues
,
and
People
;
who
are
Ministers
of
the
Word
of
Life
,
and
Reconciliation
and
Messengers
of
Glad-tidings
,
and
Salvation
,
unto
captive
and
weary
Souls
;
our
glorying
is
only
in
the
Lord
,
and
not
in
our selves
,
who
are
by
the
World
in
scorn
called
Quakers
;
who
are
at
this
present
in
outward
bonds
,
for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
Christ
in
Dublin
;
and
who
have
been
in
the
labour
and
travel
of
the
Gospel
of
God
these
six
moneths
and
upwards
,
in
this
Nation
of
Ireland
,
according
to
the
Will
of
God
ordained
hereunto
,
and
moved
,
and
commanded
by
his
Eternal
Spirit
into
this
his
Work
,
for
the
Seed's
sake
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
to
the
gathering
of
it
into
the
Fold
of
Everlasting
Peace
;
and
to
the
clearing
of
the
Lord
from
the
blood
of
his
Enemies
,
that
they
may
be
left
without
excuse
,
by
his
Powerful
Word
given
unto
us
,
and
uttered
by
us
(
and
herein
we
are
a
good
savour
to
God
,
both
in
them
that
perish
,
and
in
them
that
believe
)
and
for
this
cause
have
we
denied
our
dearest
and
nearest
Relations
,
and
love
not
our
lives
unto
death
,
that
our
Testimony
we
may
finish
,
which
is
committed
to
us
of
the
Lord
;
and
because
of
this
are
we
Labourers
under
many
burdens
,
and
travels
in
many
afflictions
,
and
sufferings
,
and
are
abundantly
reproached
,
and
our
Lord's
Truth
,
of
which
we
bear
witness
,
greatly
infamed
,
by
many
slandering
and
back-biting
Tongues
,
especially
by
Teachers
,
and
professed
Ministers
,
in
the
ears
of
their
People
,
and
Hearers
;
slandering
us
with
being
Jesuits
,
and
Deceivers
,
and
Seducers
,
and
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
,
and
Witches
,
and
such
like
;
and
we
of
those
false
Accusations
being
clear
,
and
our
Lords
Truth
,
the
Testimony
which
we
hold
,
wholly
innocent
,
and
are
willing
to
be
tryed
and
proved
,
and
made
manifest
to
the
Inhabitants
of
this
City
and
Nation
,
in
the
sight
of
God
.
This
therefore
am
I
moved
to
give
forth
;
and
hereby
in
the
name
of
our
Living
Eternal
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
whom
we
serve
and
worship
,
in
that
Way
which
is
called
Heresie
,
to
send
it
abroad
as
a
Challenge
to
all
you
Teachers
,
and
pretended
Ministers
,
of
what
sort
and
form
soever
,
and
to
all
you
People
whom
it
may
really
concern
;
and
especially
to
all
you
in
the
City
of
Dublin
,
and
Places
elsewhere
in
Ireland
,
to
whom
this
may
come
;
that
you
meet
us
in
the
City
of
Dublin
,
at
some
publique
Place
,
at
a
convenient
time
appointed
by
you
,
at
which
place
and
time
if
the
Lord
permit
(
by
the
permission
of
the
Council
of
Ireland
,
whose
Prisoners
we
are
)
we
shall
meet
you
then
there
,
to
have
a
fair
and
sober
Dispute
in
the
presence
of
all
People
,
who
may
desire
to
be
informed
,
or
satisfied
,
concerning
us
and
you
,
in
these
things
whereof
you
can
accuse
us
;
and
also
of
those
things
,
by
way
of
sober
Questions
,
which
we
have
to
propound
to
you
,
not
for
any
end
to
our selves
,
nor
to
set
up
a
Kingdom
of
our
own
(
God
is
our
Witness
)
but
that
the
Way
of
our
God
may
be
made
manifest
,
and
all
deceit
and
error
discovered
,
and
all
People
may
be
informed
the
Way
to
Salvation
;
and
as
you
are
true
to
your
God
,
and
will
answer
for
him
,
and
are
willing
to
be
made
manifest
in
your
way
of
Worship
,
and
Doctrine
,
and
Ministry
,
you
are
not
to
neglect
,
but
herein
to
answer
our
desire
and
the
desires
of
many
hundreds
,
that
you
and
we
may
be
made
manifest
in
the
sight
of
God
,
to
all
mens
Consciences
,
who
are
in
Truth
,
and
who
are
in
Error
,
that
Shame
and
Condemnation
may
come
upon
the
guilty
,
and
Truth
may
be
exalted
over
all
Deceit
.

in
Dublin
.
You
are
desired
to
send
your
Answer
of
these
Propositions
to
us
,

if
you
consent

us
,

know
five

This
was
sent
to
the
Priests
of
Dublin
,
but
no
answer
to
this
day
have
we
received
from
them
;
whereby
it
is
manifest
that
they
are
not
true
to
their
God
,
nor
willing
to
be
tryed
and
made
manifest
;
but
love
Darkness
,
and
hate
the
Light
,
and
back-bite
in
secret
,
and
cannot
give
a
Witness
openly
,
but
fall
before
the
tryal
,
and
Truth
reigns
over
them
,

is

over
their
Deceit

Discovery

Idol

Shepherds
in

Nation

and
a
Lamentation
over
their
Starved
and
Strayed
Flocks
.
THe
Day
of
the
Lord
is
approaching
,
and
the
Day
of
account
draws
near
upon
you
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
;
the
time
of
your
Covenant
is
expired
made
with
Death
,
and
Hell
;
and
the
Lord
God
will
plead
with
you
,
and
reckon
with
you
,
and
give
unto
you
a
just
reward
,
every
one
according
to
your
deeds
,
even
the
condition
of
your
Bond.
Ye
Shepherds
,
and
Pastors
of
the
flock
,
and
Teachers
of
the
people
,
what
account
will
ye
render
to
the
Lord
in
the
Day
of
his
appearing
?
Should
you
not
have
gathered
the
Flock
,
and
fed
them
,
and
taught
them
in
the
Way
of
Righteousness
,
and
preserved
them
from
straying
abroad
,
but
instead
thereof
you
have
scattered
them
upon
the
barren
Mountains
,
and
have
starved
them
,
and
have
strayed
them
,
and
led
them
into
by-paths
of
Idolatry
,
and
made
a
Prey
upon
them
,
and
have
fed
your selves
of
them
,
and
the
Heritage
of
the
Lord
hath
been
wasted
by
you
,
and
the
Pastures
of
the
Fold
eaten
up
by
Wolves
,
and
Devouters
,
and
Lyons
Whelps
,
which
made
the
Flock
affraid
,
driving
them
into
secret
corners
of
Darkness
,
Leanness
,
and
Poverty
,
where
they
are
dead
for
want
of
Food
.
O
ye
Shepherds
,
your
account
will
be
woful
,
and
miserable
in
the
dreadful
day
which
is
hastening
upon
you
;
not
one
Lamb
have
you
brought
forth
to
Perfection
,
to
lie
down
in
Peace
in
the
Fold
,
but
have
nourisht
it
into
the
nature
of
a
Doge
,
and
a
Wolf
;
and
you
have
fed
them
with
Swines-flesh
,
and
with
the
Husk
;
and
Milk
they
have
not
received
from
you
,
thereby
to
grow
up
unto
God
in
his
Image
;
and
not
one
Fleece
hath
the
Lord
gathered
from
all
your
Flock
.
You
Teachers
,
Shepherds
,
and
Pastors
,
your
debt
of
wickedness
is
a
gross
sum
of
great
abomination
in
the
Record
of
account
;
you
have
taught
innocent
Children
into
subtle
hypocrisie
,
out
of
Uprightness
into
Guile
:
you
have
taught
Lyes
instead
of
Truth
,
and
thereby
have
the
People
been
instructed
into
Error
,
Sects
,
and
false
Opinions
;
and
not
one
Child
have
you
taught
perfect
in
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
neither
one
of
your
Hearers
have
you
presented
perfect
in
Christ
Jesus
unto
the
Father
,
but
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
have
you
taken
the
charge
of
the
Hearers
,
and
not
one
hath
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
by
you
under
your
teaching
;
for
you
have
been
a
cursed
Example
,
in
Pride
,
in
Coveteousness
,
in
Oppression
,
and
in
Hypocrisie
;
And
how
could
you
teach
Children
in
the
Way
of
Purity
,
when
your selves
have
walked
in
the
way
of
Idolatry
?
The
lang●●ge
of
Babylon
have
you
instructed
the
People
,
and
not
one
verse
have
you
learned
in
Sions
Record
;
you
have
nurtured
them
in
the
nature
of
whoredom
,
and
their
Virginity
have
they
lost
.
What
will
ye
do
ye
Shepherds
,
and
Teachers
,
the
Arrest
of
Judgment
from
the
Court
of
Equity
is
come
forth
against
you
,
and
sealed
never
to
be
changed
?
Whether
will
you
flee
to
hide
you
?
Gods
Judgments
will
pursue
you
,
and
your
Reward
will
be
Indignation
and
Vengeance
,
and
your
charge
will
be
the
devouring
and
murdering
of
souls
,
and
the
Flock
will
be
required
of
you
:
and
every
Lamb
,
which
carelesly
you
have
starved
,
the
blood
thereof
will
be
put
upon
your
account
;
and
every
Child
you
have
taught
in
the
way
of
iniquity
,
the
iniquity
thereof
will
be
laid
to
your
charge
.
O
Doleful
reckoning
!
when
the
Lord
appears
,
a
grievous
sum
are
you
guilty
,
which
you
are
never
able
to
pay
;
and
just
he
is
that
calleth
you
to
an
account
,
and
the
truth
of
his
Bill
will
be
sealed
with
the
Light
in
your
own
Consciences
,
which
is
the
Lords
Witness
,
which
hath
been
privy
to
all
your
abominations
;
one
year
,
after
another
have
you
been
spared
,
and
interest
upon
interest
will
be
put
upon
your
score
;
not
one
day
of
faithful
service
and
true
watching
over
the
Flock
can
you
give
testimony
of
;
but
idle
Shepherds
have
you
been
,
and
slumbring
Watch-men
have
you
proved
,
and
the
whole
Flock
have
been
devoured
,
and
scattered
,
and
not
one
Lamb
is
found
in
the
Fold
,
nor
one
strayed
sheep
brought
home
from
wandring
,
but
the
Fences
of
the
Fold
are
laid
waste
,
and
the
door
is
shut
up
,
and
bolted
against
him
that
would
enter
,
and
you
have
removed
the
Pastures
out
of
the
pleasant
Valleys
,
into
the
desolate
and
wilde
,
and
untilled
Mountains
,
where
every
wilde
Beast
playeth
,
and
every
desolate
Bird
inhabiteth
.
What
will
you
plead
for
your selves
?
Oh
,
ye
deceitfull
Hirelings
,
who
have
run
,
and
were
not
sent
,
by
whom
the
People
are
not
profited
at
all
:
But
you
Leaders
of
the
People
have
caused
them
to
err
in
unknown
Paths
,
and
you
have
taken
the
charge
of
that
you
were
not
able
to
perform
;
you
have
wasted
the
the
Masters
goods
,
and
his
Children
have
not
been
taught
the
Way
of
Holiness
;
you
have
spent
his
Portion
among
Harlots
,
and
have
given
your
Lord's
Money
to
abominable
uses
;
nothing
is
gathered
of
your
Vines
,
but
wilde
Grapes
,
and
sower
Grapes
,
which
the
Lords
Soul
loatheth
;
no
Figs
of
your
Thorns
have
been
reaped
;
but
your
best
fruit
have
been
of
a
loathsom
taste
,
the
most
Innocent
among
you
have
been
found
guilty
of
Innocent
Blood
of
Souls
.
Wo
is
me
for
you
,
ye
Flocks
of
these
Shepherds
Folds
;
alas
,
alas
,
your
souls
are
starved
,
and
your
feet
are
strayed
,
and
into
by-Paths
of
Whoredoms
have
you
been
instructed
,
and
the
door
of
the
true
Shepherds
Fold
hath
been
shut
against
you
,
and
the
Key
of
true
knowledge
hath
been
hid
out
of
your
sight
,
and
obscurity
and
darkness
hath
been
cast
before
you
,
and
the
Way
of
the
Lord
hath
been
undiscovered
to
your
understandings
,
and
into
secret
and
subtil
Idolatry
and
Witchcraft
have
you
been
nurtured
,
and
your
wounds
have
been
healed
falsely
,
and
will
break
out
into
more
incurable
dangers
.
O
how
have
you
been
driven
away
into
strange
Pastures
,
and
into
barren
Heaths
and
Desarts
,
scattered
lo
here
,
and
lo
there
,
by
the
voyces
of
Strangers
;
now
when
the
Lord
is
come
to
search
you
,
instead
of
Lambs
,
you
are
found
in
the
nature
of
Wolves
,
and
Dogs
,
and
Lions
,
biting
,
and
devouring
,
and
scorning
,
and
reproaching
the
Children
of
the
true
Seed
;
and
instead
of
Children
of
Light
and
Truth
,
are
you
found
strong
men
of
Darkness
and
Error
:
How
is
your
nature
changed
since
the
first
creation
in
the
Innocent
Image
of
God
?
strayed
have
you
been
,
and
not
one
brought
home
by
your
Shepherds
into
the
Fold
of
Truth
;
you
have
been
a
prey
to
the
Devourers
,
and
meat
for
the
wilde
Beasts
of
the
desolate
Forrests
,
and
a
strange
Language
have
you
learned
of
the
Egyptians
Character
,
and
your
delight
have
been
therein
,
even
you
have
loved
to
have
these
things
so
;
and
like
Shepherds
like
Sheep
,
Strayers
and
strayed
,
Devourers
and
being
devoured
,
What
account
will
you
give
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
?
For
your
sins
are
written
with
a
Pen
of
Iron
,
sealed
in
your
foreheads
,
children
of
the
womb
of
wickedness
:
A
gross
sum
of
abomination
is
put
upon
your
account
;
even
Lovers
of
Darkness
,
and
Haters
of
the
Light
;
How
many
times
have
you
been
called
by
the
true
Shepherds
Voice
,
and
you
neglect
,
and
will
not
be
gathered
?
How
many
good
instructions
have
you
heard
?
And
what
profit
have
you
received
?
Much
Teaching
and
many
Sermons
have
you
heard
,
and
yet
to
this
day
the
Way
of
Truth
have
you
not
learned
,
but
are
groping
in
the
dark
,
in
blindness
,
and
ignorance
;
and
you
Blind
have
been
led
by
the
Blind
,
and
the
mouth
of
the
Ditch
is
opened
to
swallow
you
up
together
;
and
you
have
refused
Knowledge
,
and
cannot
endure
to
be
reproved
;
you
love
to
stray
rather
then

Ye

the
Indictment
of

everlasting
Banishment
from

God
will
gather

feed
them
in

your
nakedness
shall
appear
,
and
your
deceits
shall
be
laid
open
,
and
your
secret
whoredoms
shall
be
discovered
;
your
beginning
was
in
Darkness
,
and
your
time
is
out
of
the
Light
,
and
your
end
will
be
in
destruction
,
now
you
have
all
time

it

From
him
who
is
a
Lover
of
all

a

all
your

the
Wrath
of
the

gone
forth

with
the
strength
of
indignation

fury
will
you
be
besieged
,

Repent

the

of
the
Living

who

Commander

make
your
Peace

the

The
righteous
Judge
,
the
Lord
,
seeth
you
in
your
darkness
,
and
searcheth
you
in
your
desolate
obscurity
,
and
his
soul
is
pressed
under
your
iniquities
,
and
he
hath
not
disrespected
any
of
your
persons
or
desolate
places
;
but
God
is
Light
,
and
hath
lightened
every
one
of
you
with
the
true
Light
of
Life
Eternal
,
if
you
love
it
,
and
be
guided
by
it
;
or
of
death
everlasting
,
if
you
hate
it
,
and
disobey
it
,
and
walk
contrary
to
it
;
that
is
the
Light
which
convinceth
you
of
Sin
,
of
Lying
,
and
Swearing
,
and
Cursed-speakings
,
and
Drunkenness
,
which
are
the
fruits
of
the
cursed
Tree
,
which
cumbereth
the
Ground
of
the
Lord
,
which
the
Axe
is
now
laid
to
the
root
of
,
to
cut
it
down
,
and
cast
it
into
everlasting
burning
:
and
while
you
act
against
this
Light
in
your
Consciences
,
you
crucifie
the
Life
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
are
Enemies
unto
him
,
and
Servants
of
the
Devil
,
and
love
your
evil
deeds
,
and
Upholders
of
the
Devils
conquest

which

the
dominion
of
sin

This

you
in
secret

false
accusing

all

dead
works
,
out
of
the
broad
way
of
destruction
,
which
many
are
in
(
as
Christ
Jesus
saith
)
and
it
will
teach
you
in
your
places
to
serve
the
Living
God
,
and
to
do
violence
to
no
man
,
but
to
be
Terrors
,
and
Reprovers
,
and
Correctors
of
all
violence
,
and
of
such
who
live
in
it
:
And
it
will
teach
you
not

strengthen
the
hands
of
Evil-doers
,
but
to
lay
your
Swords
in
justice
upon
every
one

And
it
will
teach
you
not
to
make
War
,
but
to
preserve
peace
in

and
this
is
your
Place

Duty

everlasting
punishment
to
him

if

your

them

whose

that
you
may
return
to
the
Lord
,
from
whom
you
are
grievously
degenerated
into
filthiness
,

uncleanness
,
being
a
cursed
Brood
,

are
become
unhuman
in
your
impudent
shameless
practices
of
ungodliness
,
and
are
brazened
in
your
filthiness
,
and
cannot
blush
when
you
have
done
evil
;
the
Plagues
of
God
,
and
his
Wrath
waits
to
consume
you
from
off
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
you
are
shut
up
in
blindness
,
and
covered
with
darkness
,
which
may
be
felt
;
and
you
are
as
deaf
Adders
,
void
of
understanding
,
and
past
feeling
,
and
given
up
to
work
all
unrighteousness
with
delight
,
counting
it
your
glory
to
work
wickedness
,
having
sold
your selves
to
commit
sin
;
you
have
wholly
slain
Gods
Witness
,
and
are
become
wilde
and
brutish
as
the
Beasts
of
the
Field
,
and
untamed
as
savage
Colts
;
the
Indignation
of
God
is
against
you
,
who
are
as
dead
Trees
,
and
withered
Branches
,
and
scorched
Heaths
,
not
sensible
of
good
nor

,
but
as
wild
Asses

who
neither
fear
God

To
the
Light

your
Consciences
wherewith
Christ
hath
lightened
you
,
do
I
now
speak
:
Gods
murdered
Witness
shall

me

by
which
you

inexcusable
;
for
with
the
Light
you
know
Lying
,
Swearing
,
Stealing
,
Murder
,
Drunkenness
,
and
Whoredom
are
Sins
and
Transgressions
;
the
Light
will
let
you
see
these
abound
among
you
,
by
which
you
are
reproved
,
and
eternally
to
be
condemned
if
you
do
not
repent
of
these
your
grievous
abominations
:
And
if
you
love
the
Light
,
and
turn
to
it
,
it
will
lead
you
out
of
sin
,
and
out
of
your
vain
foolish
Traditions
,
and
Immitations
,
and
Sorceries
,
and
Witchcrafts
,
which
deceive
your
souls
:
And
this
Light
in
your
Consciences
will
change
you
into
Soberness
,
and
Humanity
,
and
will
lead
you
into
the
Way
of
Life
and
Salvation
,
out
of
the
way
of
Death
and
Hell
,
wherein
you
walk
to
eternal
misery
.
Therefore
prize
your
souls
,
and
the
dreadful
God
fear
;
and
tremble
before
him
ye
prophane
Wretches
,
and
cease
from
your
filthy
,
nasty
,
poluted
wayes
of
Idolatry
,
Lying

Swearing
,
Stealing
,
Drunkenness
,
and
such

God
forbideth

with
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
;
and
he
that
doth
these
things
shall
eternally
perish
in
condemnation
for
ever
.
And
this
to
you
is
a
Warning
,
in
pity
to
your
lost
souls
,
whose
hearts
are
desperately
wicked
,
and
set
to
do
mischief
;
the
Vengeance
of
God
is
against
you
;
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
shall
witness
me

justifie
the
Lord
in
the
Day
of
recompence
,
when
every
man
receives
according
to
his
deeds
,
the
Righteous
unto
Life
,
the
Wicked
unto
eternal
Wrath.
Now
you
have

the

your
Condemnation

hath
hewed
with
thee
,
and
made
thee
an
Instrument
in
my
Hand
,
to
do
my
Will
upon
my
Enemies
;
and
now
thou
performest
not
thy
Vows
made
to
me
in
the
day
of
distress
,
but
thou
hast
broken
Truce
with
me
;
and
now
thou
sufferest
grievous
and
hainous
Oppression
,
and
Cruelty
,
and
Tyranny
to
be
acted
in
thy
name
upon
my
People
,
whom
I
have
chosen
,
and
elected
to
exalt
my
Name
by
;
by
unjust
Imprisonments
,
and
grievous
Persecution
do
they
suffer
in
thy
name
,
which
the
Cruel-hearted
make
a
cloak
of
for
their
cruelty
,
and
even
such
who
have
been
thy
Enemies
,
thy
name
is
a
cloak
unto
,
to
hid
their
cruel
intents
,
and
wicked
purposes
against
my
People
,
whom
they
tread
upon
;
and
this
is
not
unknown
to
thee
,
and
therefore
the
less
excusable
art
thou
in
my
sight
,
and
the
greater
will
my
Judgments
be
upon
thy
head
,
which
suddenly
I
will
bring
upon
thee
,
except
thou
repent
,
and
return
to
thy
first
integrity
;
which
if
thou
dost
,
I
will
honour
thee
next
unto
my
Chosen
,
and
give
thee
the
necks
of
Princes
to
tread
upon
,
and
their
Dominions
for
thy
Inheritance
;
otherwise
thus
shall
it
be
done
unto
thee
,
if
thou
wilt
not
hear
,
and
obey
my
Voice
,
saith
the
Lord
.
To
all
ye
his
Council
.
THus
saith
the
Lord
,
My
Controversie
is
against
you
,
because
ye
are
one
with
him
,
and
every
whit
fully
guilty
of
his
Transgressions
,
and
feed
him
and
your selves
in
the
valleys
of
vain
glories
,
with
vain
shews
,
and
hopes
;
and
your
endeavours
are
more
to
secure
your selves
from
Mischief
,
and
Plots
,
and
wicked
Intentions
,
which
remain
in
the
hearts
of
the
Rebellious
against
you
,
then
to
defend
and
preserve
the
Innocent
;
for
you
neglect
to
take
off
Oppression
,
and
to
ease
the
Oppressed
;
but
make
your
Fingers
as
heavy
as
your
Fathers
Loynes
,
who
were
cast
out
before
you
;
and
the
same
Laws
stand
still
in
force
,
by
which
Tyranny
and
Oppression
is
acted
;
and
the
same
false
Prophets
you
establish
by
a
Law
,
which
deceive
the
Nations
,
and
flatter
you
by
subtil
Speeches
,
and
there
is
no
pure
Reformation
wrought
in
the
Earth
;
but
you
with
your
power
joyn
with
the
first
Beast
,
who
was
wounded
by
a
grievous
blow
of
fury
,
to
make
War
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
;
and
you
seek
to
set
up
that
which
I
am
about
to
throw
down
,
and
you
are
not
ignorant
of
the
grievous
Cry
of
the
poor
,
under
the
burthen
of
oppression
laid
upon
them
by
your
Laws
,
by
which
they
unjustly
suffer
the
imprisonment
of
their
Bodies
,
and
the
spoiling
of
their
Goods
,
and
you
suffer
this
wickedness
to
be
done
,
and
shut
up
your
compassion
,
and
the
hands
of
Evil-doers
hereby
are
strengthened
,
through
your
forbearance
they
are
hardened
in
their
cruelty
,
and
because
you
profess
more
of
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
then
some
that
have
gone
before
you
,
and
perform
as
little
,
the
greater
is
your
abomination
,
and
the
deeper
is
your
hypocrisie
,
and
the
greater
will
my
Judgments
be
upon
your
heads
,
except
you
speedily
repent
,
and
walk
in
my
Counsel
,
which
if
you
do
,
honourable
in
Counsel
will
I
make
you
,
and
your
Renown
shall
Generations
to
come
exalt
;
otherwise
,
if
you
refuse
my
Word
to
hear
,
I
will
make
you
a
Reproach
,
and
a
Curse
to
Ages
for
ever
.
To
all
ye
Iudges
,
and
Lawyers
,
and
your
Train
,
and
to
all
that
handle
the
Law
.
THus
saith
the
Lord
,
My
Controversie
is
against
you
,
because
of
your
abominations
,
for
you
are
the
very
Actors
of
the
allowed
Oppressions
;
and
in
judging
for
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
,
and
Bribery
,
some
of
you
have
exceeded
all
that
ever
went
before
you
,
and
many
just
Causes
of
the
Poor
have
been
neglected
for
want
of
a
large
Gift
;
and
many
unjust
Actions
of
the
rich
men
have
you
pleaded
against
Equity
,
for
advantage
to
your selves
;
your
Council
have
respected
Persons
,
and
in
Bribery
and
Gifts
have
you
delighted
,
and
thereby
have
made
your selves
as
Lords
in
the
Earth
,
and
have
set
your selves
upon
high
Hills
,
and
you
have
followed
the
counsel
of
your
own
heatts
,
and
your
human
wit
and
learning
,
in
seeking
out
the
justness
of
a
Cause
,
and
in
judging
thereof
;
and
my
righteous
Law
of
Justice
have
you
not
regarded
to
be
your
Rule
,
but
through
the
policy
and
craft
have
you
hidden
the
simplicity
of
the
Law
from
the
Ignora●…
,
in
unknown
Languages
,
and
obscure
Sentences
;
and
your
wills
many
times
have
been
your
Law
,
and
true
Judgment
have
you
turned
backward
,
and
made
a
Fe●…
against
Equity
,
that
it
could
not
enter
.
Some
of
you
are
guilty
in
a
high
degree
of
that
cruelty
and
tyranny
which
of
late
years
hath
been
acted
upon
the
Innocent
;
yea
,
you
have
grinded
the
face
of
the
Poor
,
imprisoned
the
Harmless
,
and
laid
heavy
burdens
and
oppressive
bonds
upon
the
Guiltless
,
who
have
not
transgressed
any
Law
,
much
less
the
Law
of
Righteousness
;
you
have
made
my
free-born
Children
your
Slaves
,
and
have
highly
attempted
to
sit
Lords
in
my
Thr●…
of
Conscience
,
and
some
of
them
have
deeply
suffered
by
some
of
you
,
for
the
exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
,
because
they
could
not
Swear
,
or
worship
and
respect
your
Persons
,
nor
pay
Tythes
(
that
grievous
Oppression
)
nor
bow
to
your
wills
and
lusts
in
things
of
the
like
nature
of
Cruelty
:
And
you
are
guilty
in
a
gross
sum
,
of
upholding
the
false
Prophet
,
which
prophesieth
Lyes
,
and
falsly
,
with
flattering
words
of
guile
,
and
he
covers
himself
under
your
shadow
,
and
under
your
unjust
Law
,
which
is
his
staff
and
strength
,
and
he
ri●…
upon
the
Beast
,
till
you
be
both
taken
alive
,
and
cast
into
the
Lake
of
everlasting
Indignation
.
The
Cup
of
my
Vengeance
will
awaken
you
,
and
my
Law
〈◊〉
for
ever
condemn
you
,
and
my
Counsel
of
Equity
shall
plead
against
you
in
the
Court
of
Justice
;
and
my
eternal
Judgment
from
my
Throne
of
Righteousness
shall
proceed
in
sentence
of
wrath
,
and
my
faithful
Evidence
,
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
,
which
hath
been
Eye-witness
of
your
villany
against
me
,
shall
testifie
against
you
,
and
shall
accuse
you
guilty
of
everlasting
Torment
,
except
you
repent
.
To
all
Astrologers
,
Magitians
,
Southsayers
,
and
Wise
men
.
THus
saith
the
Lord
,
my
Controversie
is
against
you
,
because
of
your
Witchcrafts
,
and
Inchantments
;
you
have
digged
deep
as
the
pit
of
Hell
,
to
hide
your
counsel
from
the
Lord
,
and
have
discovered
your selves
,
in
finding
out
secrets
to
another
,
then
me
,
in
your
natural
Arts
and
knowledge
you
are
corrupted
,
the
ground
being
cursed
in
which
you
stand
.
You
have
in
Policy
and
Witchcraft
sold
your selves
into
the
power
of
Darkness
,
and
your
Original
of
Science
and
Languages
is
the
Serpent
,
whose
Image
and
mark
you
bear
;
your
Wisdom
is
devillish
,
gained
by
the
strength
of
corrupted
reason
,
which
is
the
Habitation
of
the
Serpent
,
whom
you
have
chosen
to
be
your
Instructor
,
and
exalted
for
your
God
:
There
is
a
Secret
sealed
from
you
,
and
a
Star
whose
course
you
do
not
know
,
and
a
Sun
eclipsed
of
which
you
make
no
mention
,
and
a
Circuit
of
Heaven
of
which
you
know
not
the
compass
;
and
you
cannot
find
out
the
secret
by
Divination
,
but
the
discovery
of
it
will
be
the
discovering
of
your
Sorceries
,
and
the
making
bare
of
your
Inchantments
;
your
knowledge
is
in
time
,
and
leads
not
into
the
understanding
of
things
everlasting
,
which
are
without
beginning
:
My
flaming
Sword
is
against
you
,
and
doth
divide
you
from
the
Tree
of
eternal
Life
,
of
which
you
cannot
touch
and
live
:
My
Wrath
shall
sweep
you
out
of
the
Land
of
Peace
,
and
my
Eye
,
which
seeth
you
,
shall
be
the
Star
of
Condemnation
,
and
Darkness
unto
you
,
to
the
confounding
of
your
Sun
and
Moon
for
ever
.
To
all
you
Generals
,
Colonels
,
Commanders
,
Officers
,
and
Souldiers
,
in
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
.
THus
saith
the
Lord
,
My
Controversie
is
against
you
,
for
some
of
you
are
wofully
fallen
from
that
Uprightness
and
Integrity
which
once
was
in
you
,
and
you
are
aboundantly
waxed
fat
,
and
exalted
through
Victories
and
Deliverances
;
now
you
kick
against
the
Lord
,
that
hath
handled
you
as
Instruments
in
his
Hand
to
do
his
Will
;
and
many
of
you
who
have
been
raised
out
of
the
dust
,
and
are
set
down
in
your
high
nest
of
liberty
,
in
the
lust
,
and
pride
,
and
filthiness
of
the
flesh
,
and
vain
glory
,
and
fleshly
exaltations
abound
,
and
with
greediness
you
divide
the
spoil
;
and
some
of
you
take
more
by
your
cruelty
,
and
hard-heartedness
,
then
justly
was
given
you
in
victory
;
and
now
you
being
at
ease
,
have
forgotten
many
former
straits
and
dangers
delivered
from
;
and
in
your
hearts
you
say
,
Our
hand
have
gotten
the
Victory
,
and
do
not
exalt
the
Lord
herein
,
who
sometime
eminently
hath
appeared
for
you
,
your
Enemies
themselves
being
Judges
;
and
now
you
tread
under
foot
,
by
your
might
and
beastly
power
,
many
of
my
innocent
and
harmless
People
,
some
of
which
have
served
you
in
many
tryals
,
and
now
they
being
redeemed
from
that
nature
of
strife
,
you
hate
them
,
and
do
and
suffer
violence
to
be
done
unto
them
,
and
regard
it
●ot
,
and
set
it
at
naught
;
and
though
you
have
said
,
you
have
laboured
for
liberty
of
Conscience
in
your
long
travel
of
War
,
yet
in
the
birth
you
have
turned
your
Victory
into
carnal
and
fleshly
liberty
to
your selves
,
and
into
bondage
to
your
brethren
;
and
many
Promises
have
you
vowed
,
which
you
neglect
to
perform
;
and
the
same
Oppression
and
power
of
Cruelty
stands
in
dominion
under
another
Appearance
and
Member
of
the
great
Image
,
the
Head
being
but
one
;
and
you
have
only
slain
the
Name
,
and
live
in
the
Nature
,
and
while
some
of
you
have
been
zealous
to
break
down
the
Idols
and
Images
without
,
and
herein
have
served
the
Lord
;
you
are
now
become
Worshippers
of
Idols
within
,
and
of
Images
set
up
in
your
hearts
,
to
the
greater
dishonour
of
the
Lord
,
who
are
turned
into
spiritual
Idolatry
,
and
more
subtil
Hypocrisie
,
and
secret
whoredom
,
and
herein
also
live
in
the
nature
of
that
which
you
cut
down
in
the
name
;
and
the
Founder
of
Images
is
not
yet
confounded
,
and
you
are
not
the
least
of
all
that
are
guilty
(
for
it
is
not
unknown
to
you
)
of
that
grievous
Oppression
,
and
Tyranny
,
and
Cruelty
acted
upon
my
servants
,
who
in
times
past
have
born
a
part
of
the
burden
with
you
in
the
heat
of
the
day
;
and
though
some
of
you
see
these
iniquities
abounding
,
and
the
neglect
of
fulfilling
your
own
vows
,
and
are
already
ashamed
of
the
Oaks
which
you
have
designed
,
and
of
the
Gardens
which
you
have
chosen
,
and
now
are
accused
guilty
in
your
own
Consciences
,
for
pulling
down
and
setting
up
,
one
thing
in
the
nature
,
though
different
in
the
name
,
yet
you
are
greedy
of
your
Prey
and
Spoil
,
and
do
not
confess
Truth
against
Oppression
,
being
Branches
of
the
same
Root
,
lodging
amongst
the
Boughs
;
and
thus
are
you
fallen
from
your
first
integrity
,
into
pits
and
snares
,
and
become
one
with
the
Harlot
,
and
Partakers
of
the
Adulterer
,
murdering
and
crucifying
the
just
,
loving
to
be
blinded
by
the
God
of
the
World
,
for
love
to
his
Treasure
:
Mine
Arm
terribly
shall
come
against
you
,
and
my
Force
shall
compass
you
about
,
and
my
Sword
shall
cut
you
off
,
and
with
a
mortal
Blow
I
will
wound
you
,
and
deliverance
to
my
Chosen
will
I
bring
another
way
;
and
though
I
have
reproved
Princes
by
you
,
yet
you
will
I
reprove
;
and
though
I
have
chastened
the
Mighty
and
the
Rebellious
by
you
,
yet
you
will
I
correct
,
and
all
your
might
and
power
will
I
take
away
,
and
your
weakness
shall
appear
,
and
dispersed
shall
you
be
before
the
Arrows
of
my
Wrath
;
my
Alarum
will
I
beat
against
you
,
in
defiance
of
your
power
,
and
through
you
,
by
my
Weapon
of
War
will
I
charge
to
your
overthrow
and
defeat
everlasting
,
except
you
repent
,
saith
the
Lord
,
in
this
day
of
your
Visitation
,
wherein
you
have
a
time
given
to
make
your
peace
,
and
to
return
to
your
first
integrity
,
out
of
your
rebellion
against
me
,
that
my
hand
may
be
towards
you
;
for
my
great
work
is
yet
to
do
,
which
I
have
thought
to
bring
to
pass
,
and
this
overturning
was
but
a
making
way
for
it
;
and
yet
again
will
I
overturn
,
even
you
,
and
all
that
oppose
me
herein
;
that
my
Son
may
reign
in
his
Kingdom
for
ever
,
whose
Bond-men
and
Slaves
ye
shall
be
,
if
you
submit
not
,
before
you
be
conquered
.
And
this
to
you
is
a
Message
for
Reconciliation
,
sent
from
me
,
and
sealed
with
my
Spirit
,
saith
the
Lord
.
To
all
the
Priests
,
and
Prophets
,
and
Teachers
of
the
People
.
THus
saith
the
Lord
,
my
Controversie
is
against
you
,
above
all
other
,
and
my
Judgments
shall
be
upon
you
to
the
uttermost
;
for
you
in
hypocrisie
,
and
deceit
,
and
abominations
hath
exceeded
all
other
that
ever
went
before
you
,
and
are
less
excusable
then
they
,
and
more
vile
in
my
sight
then
they
that
have
been
made
an
utter
desolation
;
abominable
,
and
loathsom
,
and
hai●ous
is
your
filthiness
in
preaching
for
hire
,
and
for
gifts
and
rewards
,
and
in
making
a
prey
upon
the
People
,
through
divining
for
money
,
even
feeding
your selves
with
the
fat
,
and
killing
them
that
are
fed
,
and
have
wofully
wasted
the
heritage
,
and
scattered
the
flock
upon
the
barren
mountains
,
where
yo●
treacherously
have
devoured
them
,
and
made
merchandise
of
their
Souls
,
and
have
cried
,
Peace
,
peace
unto
the
wicked
,
one
of
you
building
a
Wall
,
and
another
daubing
it
with
untempered
Morter
,
you
have
not
stood
in
my
Counsel
,
but
have
erred
from
my
Way
,
and
have
not
known
my
Judgments
,
but
through
covetousness
have
dealt
most
wickedly
,
and
profaness
is
gone
forth
from
you
into
all
corners
of
the
Earth
,
so
that
none
could
turn
from
his
evil
way
,
nor
learn
the
Way
of
Righteousness
and
Salvation
;
How
shall
it
be
declared
and
laid
open
?
Your
transgressions
have
much
more
abounded
then
in
former
Generations
;
ye
have
shut
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
,
to
the
destruction
of
Thousands
and
ten
Thousands
,
who
have
perished
under
your
Ministry
,
whom
you
have
caused
to
err
,
and
led
them
out
of
the
Way
;
and
the
blind
Hypocrites
have
led
the
Blind
,
till
ye
both
fell
into
the
ditch
of
perdition
.
It
was
your
Generation
of
the
same
seed
that
put
the
Apostles
to
death
,
and
now
you
make
merchandize
of
their
words
,
and
exceed
in
hypocisie
and
double-heartedness
;
and
have
turned
everyway
according
to
the
changing
of
the
power
of
the
Beast
:
Some
of
you
were
Teachers
for
the
King
,
and
Bishops
,
and
were
ordained
by
their
Law
,
and
your
prayers
have
been
to
your
Idol-god
,
for
all
sorts
from
whom
you
could
receive
a
Reward
or
be
advantaged
;
and
you
are
now
divided
in
many
Sects
,
and
Judgments
,
and
false
Opinions
,
and
have
divided
the
People
into
divers
ways
of
Idol-worship
,
throwing
down
one
part
of
the
Image
,
and
setting
up
,
&
exalting
another
;
and
your
Offerings
,
and
Oblations
,
and
Prayers
,
and
Praises
hath
been
a
burthen
and
weariness
to
my
Soul
,
saith
the
Lord
;
and
you
now
are
at
war
in
your
minds
one
with
another
,
divers
in
your
Language
(
though
but
one
Original
)
which
is
the
womb
of
Witchcraft
,
and
your
Kingdom
is
Darkness
,
and
a
heap
of
Confusion
,
under
the
dominion
of
Death
reigning
;
but
you
are
at
concord
in
War
against
me
,
and
against
my
Servants
,
whom
I
have
chosen
from
among
you
,
to
bear
witness
against
you
,
and
you
are
the
most
of
all
guilty
of
that
great
Persecution
,
and
unjust
Suffering
,
and
Imprisonment
,
through
Tyranny
laid
upon
them
;
for
you
stir
up
,
and
interceed
the
power
of
the
Beast
thereunto
,
upon
which
you
sit
,
till
you
both
be
cast
into
the
Lake
:
You
are
risen
in
all
your
power
to
manage
War
against
my
Kingdom
,
which
is
appearing
to
make
yours
a
Desolation
for
ever
:
The
Beast
is
risen
in
defence
of
you
already
;
and
you
pray
to
your
dead
gods
,
and
preach
to
your
ignorant
People
,
against
my
Heritage
;
deceiving
Thousands
,
whose
blood
of
you
will
be
required
,
who
are
ever
learning
of
you
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
you
,
being
kept
in
infidelity
and
blindness
under
you
,
whose
blood
you
are
absolutly
guilty
of
;
your
rebellion
is
the
crime
of
Witchcraft
,
who
cannot
cease
to
do
evil
,
for
you
have
bound
your selves
in
the
Covenant
with
Hell
,
and
are
at
Agreement
with
Death
while
you
are
upon
Earth
,
and
would
bind
the
People
with
you
in
the
same
Faith
(
or
rather
Unbelief
)
that
none
can
be
perfectly
saved
from
sin
while
they
live
upon
Earth
:
But
you
are
the
filthy
Dreamers
,
who
do
defile
the
flesh
,
and
when
you
awake
you
will
be
found
empty
of
all
Righteousness
;
your
Cup
is
full
of
Fornication
,
and
of
the
Wine
of
Whoredom
and
Idolatry
;
my
patience
will
be
turned
into
fury
against
you
,
and
my
Cup
of
Indignation
is
the
assured
Portion
of
your
●ot
;
and
blood
shall
you
have
to
drink
,
as
your
Gift
and
Reward
from
me
;
and
your
present
pleasure
shall
be
turned
into
howling
everlasting
;
and
your
songs
shall
be
changed
into
Wo
was
the
day
:
My
Plagues
shall
remain
with
you
upon
Earth
,
and
follow
you
to
the
Lake
,
and
your
staff
and
strength
in
which
you
trust
,
even
the
power
of
the
Beast
shall
be
broken
with
you
,
and
be
buried
in
the
Grave
of
everlasting
contempt
,
to
rise
in
reproach
unto
my
Heritage
for
ever
;
and
my
Fire
of
Indignation
is
already
kindling
upon
you
,
which
will
burn
forevermore
,
and
not
be
quenched
.
To
all
you
called
Papists
,
to
your
whole
Body
and
Head
at
Rome
,
the
Word
of
the
Lord
reacheth
.
THus
,
assuredly
,
saith
the
Lord
,
My
Controversie
is
against
you
,
and
my
Vengeance
,
and
Wrath
,
and
Fury
shall
for
ever
,
World
without
end
,
be
upon
you
,
though
you
pardon
one
another
,
yet
will
I
not
pardon
any
one
of
you
,
for
your
grievous
Adulteries
and
Abominations
have
surpassed
all
other
Generations
;
in
the
womb
of
Whoredoms
your
Children
are
conceived
,
begotten
by
the
seed
of
Adulteries
,
in
the
very
strength
of
the
man
of
sin
,
and
at
the
Breasts
of
murther
and
cruelty
,
you
are
nourished
in
sucking
hainous
and
cruel
Tyranny
▪
you
are
seated
upon
the
highest
Mountain
of
Oppression
and
Idolatry
.
Peter
was
not
your
Predecessor
,
but
the
Devil
himself
you
succeed
,
in
blood
,
and
envy
,
and
cruelty
;
and
he
is
your
rock
,
with
whom
you
shall
fall
in
everlasting
perdition
,
being
upon
him
builded
,
in
your
whole
body
;
and
he
is
the
Father
of
your
faith
,
received
from
him
by
succession
,
traditionally
:
And
your
Religion
is
of
Cain's
antiquity
,
who
was
the
Antient
in
your
Profession
of
offering
Sacrifice
,
and
killing
the
Just
;
your
Sword
hath
been
made
fat
in
the
blood
of
the
Innocent
;
you
have
sought
to
slay
even
the
very
likeness
of
Righteousness
,
and
have
stood
armed
with
cruelty
against
the
Upright
,
waiting
for
the
blood
of
the
Guiltless
to
asswage
your
thirst
:
And
your
seat
at
Rome
,
which
once
had
the
Faith
of
Jesus
Christ
in
purity
,
where
Members
of
his
Body
inhabited
,
you
have
turned
into
the
habitation
of
Devils
,
and
it
is
become
the
open
Mother
of
profest
Whoredoms
,
which
brings
forth
cursed
Children
of
Witchcraft
,
and
is
the
abiding
place
of
members
of
an
abominable
Harlot
,
and
the
Profession
of
Jesus
have
you
turned
into
cruelty
against
Jesus
,
and
into
the
murther
of
him
.
Some
of
you
are
made
a
curse
already
,
and
with
Vengeance
and
Indignation
shall
the
rest
be
pursued
,
till
your
Body
be
rooted
from
off
the
Earth
;
you
have
been
strong
in
your
Seat
of
Darkness
,
upon
your
seven
Mountains
of
perfect
abomination
,
and
none
were
able
to
encounter
you
in
your
strength
of
Infidelity
,
but
it
shall
be
turned
into
weakness
,
and
your
whoredoms
shall
appear
,
and
your
present
honour
shall
be
turned
into
contempt
everlasting
;
for
whilst
you
say
,
You
have
wrought
to
merit
Life
eternal
,
your
unbelief
will
bring
death
everlasting
,
and
your
Works
merit
my
Fire
of
eternal
Judgment
and
Condemnation
;
and
while
you
have
said
,
You
eat
and
drink
the
Flesh
and
Blood
really
,
you
have
crucified
his
Life
totally
,
and
your
consecrating
of
things
unto
your
Idol-god
,
hath
been
your
defilement
and
pollution
in
the
sight
of
the
true
God
;
to
Images
and
Pictures
have
you
bowed
,
and
have
worshipped
the
Saints
Dayes
and
Names
,
and
bowed
to
their
likeness
of
mans
inventions
,
but
have
slain
their
life
,
and
trodden
under
foot
their
nature
and
glory
,
and
buried
their
righteousness
and
knowledge
in
the
grave
of
your
wickedness
and
ignorance
;
and
in
imaginations
have
you
rested
,
and
in
vain
superstitions
have
you
hoped
,
honouring
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
killing
his
Life
;
the
Womb
of
Darkness
are
you
shut
up
in
upon
Earth
,
and
it
will
be
your
bed
for
ever
in
Hell
and
Death
;
and
your
Purgatory
will
deceive
you
,
and
your
cleansing
will
never
come
:
Defiled
,
defiled
and
loathsome
are
you
in
the
pure
Eye
of
Light
,
which
the
secret
of
your
deceit
searcheth
,
and
your
darkness
feeleth
,
and
shall
judge
you
for
ever
.
Rome
,
Italy
,
France
,
and
Spain
,
and
your
Dominions
,
to
all
your
Kings
,
Princes
,
Bishops
,
Priests
,
Jesuits
,
Prelates
,
and
Friers
,
and
Nuns
,
and
whole
train
of
Idolators
,
The
Cup
of
my
Vengeance
is
towards
you
,
and
the
Dreggs
thereof
you
shall
drink
;
and
my
overflowing
Whirlwind
of
Wrath
,
as
an
inresistable
Flood
is
against
your
Banks
,
and
my
Fire
of
eternal
Fury
shall
burn
through
your
Stubble
;
and
my
everlasting
Light
shall
make
search
and
inquisition
for
the
blood
of
my
Elect
,
which
is
found
in
thy
skirts
.
Thou
abominable
Harlot
of
loathsome
adultery
,
Tremble
,
tremble
,
at
my
dreadfull
living
presence
,
ye
Worshippers
of
dead
Images
;
the
day
of
repentance
is
well
nigh
past
,
your
long
Idolatry
will
my
long
patience
turn
into
everlasting
Misery
and
Judgment
;
and
Nations
shall
see
your
shame
,
and
in
the
sight
of
your
Lovers
shall
you
be
tormented
.
And
this
from
Authority
by
my
Spirit
of
Glory
is
sent
you
a
Warning
,
and
is
the
voice
of
a
Trumpet
,
which
gives
a
certain
sound
against
the
mighty
dreadfull
Day
of
the
Lord
,
which
upon
you
is
coming
,
to
make
you
a
Desolation
for
ever
and
ever
;
and
the
Eternal
Decree
is
sealing
against
you
,
never
to
be
altered
.
To
all
you
called
Protestants
of
the
Eldest
sort
.
THus
saith
the
Lord
,
my
controversie
is
against
you
,
and
my
hand
will
be
upon
you
;
you
have
a
strong
taste
of
the
Bottle
,
wherein
the
Wine
of
Fornication
is
,
and
your
scent
is
leavened
with
the
first
vessel
of
abomination
,
you
are
seated
in
darkness
,
pitched
upon
six
of
the
first
Mountains
,
under
another
Branch
of
the
first
Tree
(
Ignorance
)
and
are
thildren
of
the
first
womb
,
begotten
in
another
appearance
of
the
Whores
Beauty
,
and
are
more
comly
in
stature
then
your
eldest
Brethren
,
and
little
is
your
difference
to
be
discerned
from
the
first
Beast
in
your
appearance
,
and
nothing
at
all
in
the
ground
;
you
say
you
believe
for
Eternal
Life
,
but
your
unbelief
will
bring
upon
you
everlasting
death
:
your
talking
of
Christ
,
and
his
righteousness
imputed
(
which
you
profess
)
will
not
cover
your
infidelity
and
filthiness
,
for
you
are
in
the
enmity
against
his
Life
;
the
working
(
of
the
first
)
for
life
,
and
your
believing
for
life
,
springs
both
out
of
one
ground
;
and
while
you
say
you
eat
and
drink
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Christ
in
the
figure
,
you
kill
and
cruifie
him
in
the
Substance
,
and
art
partakers
of
thy
Sisters
sins
,
in
Whoredom
and
Idolatry
,
and
must
partake
of
her
plagues
.
Wo
,
wo
,
will
be
your
Inheritance
in
the
Pit
of
Earth
for
ever
,
instead
of
a
heavenly
glory
(
which
you
dream
o●
)
above
the
Sky
;
I
have
armed
my
Armies
to
do
my
work
herein
,
which
hath
in
part
,
and
will
fulfil
it
,
to
break
you
to
pieces
,
the
intents
of
your
heart
have
been
known
to
be
always
against
my
people
,
neither
could
you
bear
any
appearance
o●
me
,
but
blasphemes
my
Name
and
Truth
in
every
discovery
;
you
have
loved
darkness
upon
Earth
;
and
in
its
Chains
shall
you
be
bound
in
the
Lake
for
evermore
.
To
all
you
that
are
called
Presbyterians
and
Independents
.
THe
Lords
controversie
is
against
you
,
for
you
are
a
higher
branch
of
the
first
tree
,
deeper
rooted
in
the
cursed
ground
of
fleshly
and
sensual
wisdom
,
and
the
Womb
of
your
conception
is
the
first
Whores
daughter
,
more
comely
decked
,
and
your
Cistern
holds
the
Wine
of
Fornication
,
at
which
you
drink
in
a
measure
her
abomination
,
and
where
you
say
,
you
believe
for
Justification
,
and
applies
the
Promises
for
Savation
;
your
works
of
Wickedness
and
Hypocrisie
will
bring
Damnation
,
and
gains
the
promise
of
Condemnation
,
who
are
in
pride
,
and
high-mindedness
,
and
double-heartedness
,
which
is
the
condition
of
that
promise
,
and
you
are
found
wanting
every
whit
,
the
conditions
of
the
Promise
of
Eternal
Li●e
;
you
have
reformed
the
outward
man
into
the
obedience
unto
another
likeness
of
the
Truth
,
without
the
Life
,
and
are
as
vile
in
the
inward
in
hypocrisie
,
and
self-exalting
,
and
hath
covered
your selves
with
the
Saints
words
,
and
laid
up
more
in
store
of
the
report
of
their
riches
,
then
your
fore-fathers
,
and
now
you
are
become
Worshippers
of
the
form
and
words
of
the
Saints
,
and
are
grown
in
the
knowledge
,
more
then
some
of
your
Fathers
Children
;
but
in
extolling
the
Saints
words
,
you
limit
their
Spirit
,
and
keeps
in
Death
their
Life
,
which
was
not
of
the
World
,
neither
in
appearance
nor
ground
;
and
while
you
say
you
eat
and
drink
the
Flesh
and
Blood
of
Christ
in
secret
,
and
separate
,
you
put
him
to
death
openly
,
and
among
the
multitudes
,
your
hearts
are
full
of
bitterness
against
my
Remnant
,
whom
I
have
called
;
and
aloud
you
cry
Heresie
,
and
Error
,
and
Blasphemes
my
Name
,
and
loaths
the
Honey-comb
in
your
full
stomachs
;
you
worship
the
same
God
,
as
your
fore-fathers
did
,
only
in
another
appearance
,
more
refined
through
stronger
wisdom
,
and
appears
in
the
reformed
old
man
,
thinking
him
to
be
the
new
man
,
and
deceives
your
Souls
hereby
,
and
are
zealous
in
your
blindness
,
in
your
will-worships
,
and
feigned
humility
,
which
is
without
the
knowledge
of
God
;
and
you
depend
upon
your
imaginations
,
thinking
to
have
life
in
the
Scripture
,
as
they
did
which
put
Christ
to
death
,
and
will
not
come
to
Christ
that
you
may
have
li●e
;
you
are
in
the
knowledge
gathered
from
without
you
,
which
is
natural
,
and
in
it
you
are
corrupted
;
and
some
of
you
are
bruitish
in
your
knowledge
,
and
are
thereby
pufft
up
into
pride
and
vain-glory
;
your
separation
from
the
World
is
sensual
,
and
self-separation
,
and
differs
but
a
little
in
your
appearance
,
and
nothing
in
the
ground
;
for
the
cursed
ground
stands
within
untilled
and
unbroken
,
and
you
worship
God
ignorantly
,
at
a
distance
,
and
feeds
upon
the
report
of
a
thing
done
many
hundred
of
years
ago
,
and
your
Faith
doth
not
give
you
victory
over
the
World
,
for
it
is
set
in
your
hearts
,
and
the
vanities
of
it
without
is
followed
,
pride
,
and
oppression
,
and
fulness
:
Some
of
you
are
hot
and
furious
in
your
blind
zeal
,
and
cannot
endure
sound
Doctrine
;
your
fruits
will
wither
,
and
all
your
knowledge
will
perish
,
and
all
your
hopes
and
expectations
will
fail
,
and
all
your
praises
and
prayers
,
and
all
your
good
works
brought
forth
in
your
own
wills
,
in
that
nature
in
which
the
enmity
lodges
,
is
a
lame
and
a
blind
Sacrifice
,
and
of
Cain's
nature
,
which
God
accepteth
not
;
you
are
in
the
liberty
of
the
flesh
,
and
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
you
do
not
know
,
but
lives
daily
to
the
World
,
and
dies
not
to
it
,
and
your
knowledge
of
Christ
is
without
you
;
by
what
such
a
Prophet
,
and
such
an
Apostle
spoke
of
him
;
and
the
witness
of
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
and
Power
you
have
not
in
you
,
nor
his
sufferings
you
do
not
know
in
your
life
,
but
by
your
life
make
him
to
suffer
in
you
,
in
his
Life
;
the
horrible
filthy
thing
is
commited
amongst
you
,
and
your
Teachers
are
perfect
in
the
false
Prophets
steps
,
and
(
some
of
you
are
as
bruit
Beasts
in
their
knowledge
,
gathered
in
by
vain
study
and
humane
learning
,
through
Phylosophy
and
vain
deceit
,
)
and
have
large
Quarters
from
which
they
seek
their
Gain
,
and
through
Coveteousness
with
feigned
words
make
merchandise
of
souls
,
and
are
compleat
in
Balaams
way
of
Idolatry
,
following
his
Error
,
loving
the
Wages
of
unrighteousness
,
teaching
for
filthy
Lucre
,
devouring
souls
for
dishonest
Gain
,
by
trading
with
the
Scriptures
,
and
selling
their
Imaginations
upon
them
for
money
,
gaining
many
thousand
of
pounds
a
year
thereby
,
having
stolen
the
Saints
words
into
their
unclean
hearts
,
uttered
forth
by
them
for
advantage
to
themselves
,
when
the
Lord
hath
not
sent
them
,
nor
spoken
unto
them
,
nor
ordained
them
for
his
service
;
but
their
Call
and
Ordination
have
been
by
man
,
and
their
work
and
testimony
of
themselves
,
and
have
not
profited
you
at
all
,
and
yet
you
have
loved
to
have
it
so
;
but
what
will
you
do
in
the
end
thereof
?
Even
you
that
have
been
helped
,
and
they
that
have
holpen
shall
both
fall
together
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord's
Recompence
,
which
will
fall
grievously
upon
you
,
and
none
shall
be
able
to
deliver
you
,
but
miserable
Comforters
,
and
Physitians
of
no
value
shall
all
be
unto
you
,
and
your
long
applyed
Promises
shall
suddenly
fly
away
:
No
Peace
from
God
is
to
the
Wicked
,
neither
do
I
sow
Pillows
under
your
Elbows
,
but
to
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
(
I
commend
these
things
)
which
Christ
hath
enlightened
every
of
you
withal
;
which
shines
in
Darkness
,
and
you
cannot
it
comprehend
,
nor
in
it
believe
,
but
at
it
stumbles
,
and
by
it
shall
be
broken
;
which
if
it
you
loved
,
it
would
teach
you
in
the
Spirit
the
Living
God
to
worship
,
and
would
condemn
all
your
set
forms
of
worship
in
the
imaginations
;
the
Light
is
given
you
of
Christ
Jesus
,
unto
Life
Eternal
,
or
unto
condemnation
everlasting
;
when
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
upon
you
,
remember
you
had
Warning
;
and
when
you
are
in
the
Lake
,
and
in
the
Pit
,
remember
you
had
a
day
of
Visitation
upon
Earth
:
The
Light
in
all
your
Consciences
shall
witness
Gods
Judgments
to
be
just
,
and
your
mouths
shall
be
stopped
.
To
all
you
that
are
called
Anabaptists
.
WIth
you
also
is
the
Controversie
of
the
Lord
,
for
you
are
Children
of
the
same
seed
,
more
purged
in
the
Fire
of
blind
Zeal
,
and
begotten
in
the
transforming
of
the
Serpent
,
into
more
secret
hypocrisie
,
and
deeper
subtilty
;
your
covering
being
larger
,
the
greater
deceit
and
abomination
lodges
under
;
Death
reigns
among
you
,
and
your
Kingdom
is
scituate
in
the
Mountains
of
exaltation
,
and
you
feed
aboundantly
in
the
Valleys
of
pride
and
vain
glory
,
and
are
nourished
with
the
bread
of
prosperity
;
you
are
grown
high
,
and
great
in
your
number
,
and
have
joyned
your selves
for
advantage
,
and
glory
in
your
strength
,
having
through
Policy
and
Craft
,
and
bowing
to
the
beastly
power
,
highly
exalted
your
own
Horn
,
and
by
Flattery
have
gained
much
of
your
dominion
,
which
you
hold
in
possession
by
the
Law
of
guile
;
many
simple
Ones
have
by
your
curious
colour
,
and
bed
of
fair
pretences
been
deceived
to
commit
Adultry
with
your
Image
,
brought
forth
in
the
likeness
of
the
Saints
God
;
by
imaginations
from
the
Saints
words
you
worship
the
Practice
and
exercise
of
the
Saints
,
with
the
same
mind
that
the
Papists
do
worship
their
Names
and
dayes
:
You
allow
not
Idols
without
,
nor
a
vain
conversation
in
the
World
,
but
you
are
stric●t
in
observation
in
your
outward
conformity
,
in
your
self-righteousness
,
which
is
your
greatest
sin
;
you
are
cloathed
with
the
Saints
words
and
practices
,
which
you
have
climed
up
in
your
own
wills
to
obtain
,
not
having
entred
in
by
the
Door
;
and
while
you
say
,
you
eat
and
drink
the
Flesh
and
Blood
of
Christ
in
the
Saints
manner
,
shewing
forth
his
Death
till
he
come
to
Salvation
;
you
kill
him
as
the
Heathens
do
,
till
he
appear
unto
Condemnation
;
and
you
shew
forth
daily
that
you
cruci●e
him
in
the
World
,
eating
and
drinking
to
your selves
condemnation
:
you
say
Christ
dyed
only
for
you
as
Elect
but
your
works
make
manifest
that
he
dies
by
you
as
Reprobate
:
You
take
up
a
command
from
the
Letter
,
and
imitate
the
Apostles
(
some
of
you
in
a
lower
,
and
some
of
you
in
a
higher
degree
)
in
that
mind
and
nature
which
in
the
Apostles
was
crucified
;
and
you
say
Christ
commands
it
,
when
the
Letter
doth
but
declare
it
,
and
you
are
not
led
with
the
same
Light
which
gave
forth
the
Commands
declared
to
observe
them
,
but
say
,
in
such
a
Verse
of
such
a
Chapter
,
such
a
Command
is
,
not
having
received
the
Command
by
the
same
Spirit
.
Here
you
are
proved
to
be
them
which
use
your
tongues
,
and
say
,
he
saith
it
,
when
God
hath
not
spoken
unto
you
,
but
as
you
read
it
without
you
,
as
the
false
Prophets
may
do
the
words
of
the
true
Prophets
;
and
thus
you
are
in
the
Witchcraft
,
as
they
were
,
Gal.
3.
who
take
on
things
in
your
own
wills
,
and
observe
Commands
without
from
the
Letter
,
thereby
drawing
from
the
Teachings
of
God
within
by
the
Spirit
;
you
are
zealous
as
they
were
,
for
the
Traditions
and
Figures
,
and
cannot
see
him
,
which
is
the
end
of
all
that
which
perisheth
with
the
using
,
so
you
are
not
dead
with
Christ
from
the
World
,
who
are
yet
subject
to
Ordinances
which
are
of
the
World
:
They
that
obeyed
Christ
,
and
followed
him
,
were
led
by
the
Spirit
,
and
not
by
the
Letter
;
for
they
were
not
Ministers
of
the
Letter
,
but
of
the
Spirit
,
and
such
were
judged
to
be
in
error
;
and
this
is
your
condition
,
who
say
,
such
are
Breakers
of
Christ's
Commands
,
and
Makers
void
of
the
Scripture
,
and
Destroyers
of
the
Ordinances
,
who
witness
Christ
the
Substance
,
and
him
to
be
King
,
and
Judg
,
and
Law-giver
,
and
in
whom
,
and
upon
whom
the
Scripture
is
fulfilled
,
and
so
it
established
,
and
the
Commands
of
Christ
kept
,
which
are
in
Spirit
,
and
his
Law
daily
walked
in
,
which
condemneth
sin
.
And
this
is
not
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
but
a
fulfilling
of
it
in
Principles
,
in
Doctrines
,
and
in
Practise
,
and
in
Conversation
:
The
Apostles
were
sent
to
preach
the
Gospel
to
every
Creature
,
and
they
were
all
led
by
the
same
Spirit
,
and
did
not
go
before
it
in
their
own
wills
,
as
you
do
,
neither
did
one
go
from
the
Command
which
had
been
given
to
another
,
using
anothers
words
,
and
excercising
themselves
in
anothers
practises
,
when
the
Lord
had
not
commanded
;
but
such
they
bare
witness
against
,
which
did
use
their
tongue
,
and
transform
themselves
into
the
likness
of
true
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
,
as
you
have
done
,
and
are
in
the
love
of
the
World
,
and
only
separated
in
the
appearance
,
and
not
in
the
ground
.
You
stumble
at
the
●ight
,
and
therefore
know
not
the
Door
of
entrance
,
nor
where
the
Commands
of
Christ
are
to
be
received
,
and
the
Will
of
God
to
you
is
to
be
known
;
and
so
your
obedience
is
the
conformity
in
your
own
wills
,
to
that
which
was
the
Will
of
God
to
another
;
this
Sacrifice
is
also
lame
and
blind
,
and
God
saith
to
you
,
Who
hath
required
this
at
your
hand
?
For
if
you
have
observed
and
done
all
those
things
,
which
the
Declaration
of
the
Law
and
Gospel
doth
require
,
you
are
unprofitable
Servants
,
and
yet
one
thing
do
you
lack
,
the
dying
with
Christ
,
and
the
Sufferings
and
Cross
of
Christ
is
not
known
;
but
in
the
liberty
of
the
flesh
you
are
,
and
not
in
the
condition
of
the
Promise
to
Life
Eternal
.
Friends
,
you
have
ru●
into
the
form
of
Godliness
,
without
the
Power
;
into
a
Church
which
is
not
in
God
,
but
of
the
World
;
into
a
Baptism
which
doth
not
wash
away
sin
;
for
you
live
in
sin
,
and
plead
for
it
,
while
you
live
upon
Earth
;
into
a
Communion
which
is
not
with
God
,
which
no
unclean
thing
can
enter
into
,
for
the
Proud
and
Coveteous
partake
with
you
;
and
while
some
of
you
have
said
,
they
that
preached
for
Hire
have
been
Antichristian
,
you
your selves
are
fallen
into
the
same
abomination
,
taking
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
large
somes
of
Money
,
and
upholding
such
who
do
it
;
Here
you
are
unjust
to
your
own
Principle
,
and
are
for
condemnation
with
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
.
Let
shame
cover
your
heads
,
ye
Hypocrites
;
your
covering
will
not
hide
you
,
nor
your
high
talking
of
Christ
without
you
,
so
long
professed
by
you
,
will
not
justifie
you
,
while
you
are
found
disobeying
this
Light
in
your
Consciences
,
which
Light
is
one
with
God
,
with
Christ
,
and
with
the
Spirit
in
its
measure
;
and
it
doth
convince
you
of
sin
,
and
is
a
command
to
you
,
and
would
lead
you
(
if
you
walked
in
it
)
from
all
iniquity
,
which
is
the
Will
of
God
to
you
;
and
to
that
mind
which
is
carnal
,
which
ruleth
in
you
,
the
Commands
of
Christ
which
are
Spiritual
,
are
not
given
,
nor
can
be
received
;
but
say
,
Lo
here
,
and
Lo
there
Christ
is
to
be
found
;
with
the
Light
you
are
comprehended
,
which
if
the
least
measure
of
it
you
did
own
,
it
would
lead
you
to
the
Baptism
inward
of
the
heart
,
and
to
the
Church
which
i●
in
God
,
whereof
Christ
is
the
Head
in
every
Member
,
and
into
the
Communion
with
God
,
and
to
follow
the
Lamb
of
God
wheresoever
he
goeth
;
and
out
of
your
imitations
,
and
liknesses
,
and
strife
,
and
contention
about
the
words
given
forth
from
the
Spirit
;
who
are
in
your
own
unity
,
in
Division
,
and
several
Meanings
,
and
divers
Constructions
,
and
Judgments
,
and
several
wayes
of
Obedience
and
Worships
,
and
Belief
,
which
by
your
imaginations
you
draw
from
the
Scripture
,
which
is
the
Declaration
but
of
the
one
God
,
and
one
Truth
,
of
one
Obedience
,
and
of
one
Faith
;
and
thus
you
exalt
the
great
Image
of
many
mixtures
,
your selves
being
a
chief
Member
of
his
body
:
You
say
the
Scripture
is
your
Rule
,
but
are
divided
into
Opinions
and
Conceits
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
every
one
worshipping
that
which
you
imagine
from
the
Scripture
,
not
being
in
the
Unity
of
the
Spirit
,
which
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
which
is
one
,
and
not
divided
in
Obedience
,
Worship
,
or
Faith
;
and
while
you
say
the
Scripture
is
your
Rule
,
your
lives
are
squared
by
the
spirit
of
the
Divel
,
and
hewn
out
into
Pride
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
love
of
the
World
.
And
to
you
who
are
called
Free-willers
,
who
say
Christ
died
for
All.
HErein
you
affirm
that
whereof
you
are
ignorant
,
which
may
be
true
in
Christ
,
but
a
Lye
unto
you
;
for
you
are
not
dead
with
Christ
from
the
Rudiments
of
the
World
,
but
are
alive
against
him
in
the
World
;
they
for
whom
he
died
,
are
dead
;
and
they
who
yet
live
put
him
to
death
.
Free-will
unto
the
wayes
and
fashions
,
and
vanities
of
the
World
stands
in
you
,
&
you
know
not
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
which
is
unto
man's
will
;
nor
what
it
is
to
follow
Christ
,
and
obey
him
,
which
is
contrary
to
man's
will
.
You
say
,
He
that
is
condemned
,
it
is
because
he
will
not
believe
;
this
is
true
in
Christ
but
not
in
your
carnal
apprehensions
of
the
natural
man
,
in
whom
there
is
no
power
to
believe
.
He
that
hath
an
ear
,
let
him
hear
.
There
are
some
true
desires
among
you
,
but
your
minds
are
not
truly
informed
,
to
the
fulfilling
of
your
desires
;
and
your
minds
are
outward
,
and
apply
peace
to
that
which
is
for
condemnation
.
Your
reason
and
wisdom
is
corrupted
,
and
cannot
receive
Truth
,
but
call
it
error
,
and
this
is
your
sin
.
Death
over
you
hath
passed
,
and
reigns
over
you
,
as
over
all
men
,
and
your
knowledge
is
in
time
,
and
you
cannot
hear
of
things
which
were
before
the
World
was
;
your
wisdom
is
sensual
,
and
your
comprehension
is
strong
,
and
the
little
simplicity
in
you
is
betrayed
,
by
the
subtilty
which
hath
dominion
in
your
Governour
;
Your
Crown
must
be
laid
down
;
and
Fools
must
you
become
,
before
you
be
truly
wise
,
or
can
be
crowned
with
the
Lamb.
And
among
the
rest
,
Remember
you
had
warning
,
and
a
Day
of
visitation
before
you
were
destroyed
;
and
this
shall
be
by
you
witnessed
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
.
To
all
you
who
say
you
wait
,
and
believe
,
for
the
Coming
of
Christ
to
Reign
in
Person
upon
Earth
.
HEre
you
the
Lord's
Controversie
which
he
hath
against
you
.
The
Way
of
his
coming
is
not
prepared
,
but
Rocks
and
Mountains
are
standing
,
and
Valleys
are
not
filled
up
,
and
rough
and
crooked
is
your
present
way
;
your
hopes
and
expectations
in
that
ground
wherein
they
spring
will
wither
and
fade
away
as
the
Grass
;
for
your
hope
of
his
comming
hath
no
whit
purified
you
,
as
he
is
pure
;
for
you
are
in
the
flesh
,
and
in
the
liberty
of
it
,
which
is
Rebellion
to
his
Reign
;
and
Christ
is
kept
in
Prison
,
in
exile
with
that
mind
,
and
the
Divel
is
yet
at
liberty
working
in
your
earthly
members
,
and
leads
you
captive
into
his
covenant
in
his
government
,
in
seeking
your selves
,
and
to
strengthen
your selves
in
the
Kingdom
of
the
World
;
and
murmur
that
any
should
be
above
you
,
and
that
is
he
,
which
put
Christ
to
death
,
and
will
not
have
him
to
reign
in
his
Power
over
the
Earth
;
and
to
you
,
what
purpose
is
it
to
desire
the
day
of
his
coming
?
for
with
wrath
will
he
come
,
and
with
vengeance
will
●e
appear
,
and
will
break
your
Kingdom
like
a
Potters
vessel
,
for
suddenly
will
he
come
,
but
your
expectation
will
be
prevented
,
for
his
Reign
and
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
.
Your
high
nature
stands
,
and
Satan
is
not
bound
,
nor
one
of
the
dayes
of
the
thousand
years
;
for
his
limit
is
not
yet
come
;
your
minds
are
outward
,
and
they
are
your
own
thoughts
,
which
are
vain
,
&
you
know
not
of
what
Spirit
you
are
:
The
Sufferings
of
Christ
must
you
know
,
before
you
can
see
him
Reign
;
and
through
his
War
must
you
strive
before
you
can
obtain
his
Victory
;
and
him
must
you
own
,
in
his
convincing
you
of
sin
,
before
you
can
witness
his
reign
in
Glory
upon
Earth
over
sin
.
To
all
you
that
are
called
Ranters
.
THe
Controversie
of
the
Lord
God
is
against
you
,
your
Seat
is
in
the
mystery
of
iniquity
,
and
Satan
transformed
into
an
Angel
of
Light
is
your
god
,
and
King
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
second
Beast
is
your
Dominion
,
your
deadly
Wound
is
falsly
healed
,
and
Satan
thereby
hath
enlarged
his
Government
;
you
continued
not
to
the
end
,
but
the
Prince
of
Darkness
is
more
strongly
entred
,
and
your
latter
end
is
worse
then
your
beginning
,
and
your
last
end
will
be
the
worst
of
all
;
while
you
have
scorned
self-righteousness
,
your selves
have
been
impudently
poluted
with
the
spiritual
Wine
of
Whoredom
;
and
though
you
have
cryed
against
,
and
abhorred
the
form
of
Religion
,
your selves
have
been
in
the
highest
power
of
Iniquity
,
sold
to
do
wickedly
,
and
given
up
to
commit
sin
with
greediness
,
glorying
in
your
shame
,
and
are
become
vain
in
your
Imaginations
;
your
foolish
hearts
being
darkened
,
because
when
ye
knew
God
,
you
glorified
him
not
as
God
:
The
womb
of
your
corruption
is
the
wel-favoured
Harlot
,
begotten
by
the
false
Prophet
;
Plead
with
your
Mother
,
for
she
is
an
Adultress
,
and
hath
aboundantly
gone
after
other
Lovers
,
loving
their
Bed
of
Adultry
,
where
ever
she
saw
it
;
naked
shall
she
be
stripped
,
and
set
as
in
the
day
that
she
was
born
,
and
no
Mercy
shall
be
to
you
her
Children
:
You
had
a
Convincement
under
the
Law
,
and
were
brought
under
condemnation
some
of
you
,
but
as
the
viperous
Generation
,
you
have
fled
the
wrath
,
and
now
are
become
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
turn
the
Grace
of
God
into
wantonness
(
which
largly
to
you
appeared
)
which
would
wholly
have
sanctified
you
,
if
i●
it
you
had
walked
;
but
having
slain
the
Witness
of
God
,
you
now
are
in
the
cursed
peace
,
following
Drunkenness
,
and
cursed
Speaking
,
and
Swearing
,
and
beastly
Lusts
,
and
beggerly
Vanities
,
sporting
your selves
as
in
the
day
time
;
and
you
are
the
Crucifiers
of
Christ
afresh
,
and
Putters
of
him
to
open
shame
in
the
sight
of
the
Heathen
:
And
while
you
speak
swelling
words
of
vanity
,
your selves
are
the
Servants
of
corruption
,
and
of
sin
in
the
highest
degree
,
and
free
from
Righteousness
in
the
least
measure
,
doing
despite
unto
the
Spirit
of
Grace
,
and
being
bound
in
the
Chains
of
darkness
;
and
your
professed
freedom
is
devilish
,
stolen
by
you
,
and
is
not
the
Freedom
of
the
Son
of
God
,
purchased
through
death
;
you
never
came
through
the
Law
,
but
by
your
Oaths
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Prophaness
,
have
cast
it
behind
your
backs
;
you
that
are
in
wantonness
do
kill
the
Just
,
and
you
that
are
in
pleasures
are
dead
while
you
live
,
and
you
that
live
in
fleshly
lusts
,
are
in
War
against
your
own
souls
:
Iezabel
is
your
Prophetess
;
and
the
Dog
that
is
turned
to
th●
Vomit
again
,
is
your
example
;
and
seven
unclean
spirits
worse
then
the
first
,
are
entred
upon
you
,
that
is
your
Parable
,
and
your
House
is
become
the
Den
of
Robbers
,
which
was
once
the
House
of
prayer
;
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
against
you
,
and
his
Breath
will
kindle
the
torment
of
Tophet
upon
you
,
and
everlastingly
shall
it
burn
upon
you
,
and
shall
not
be
quenched
;
and
your
professed
love
shall
be
turned
into
my
Wrath
and
Fury
,
and
sin
shall
you
find
in
its
Vengeance
,
though
you
have
seen
none
in
the
action
;
and
my
Witness
which
you
have
slain
,
to
gain
peace
,
shall
arise
to
your
everlasting
trouble
,
saith
the
Lord
;
and
your
myrth
shall
be
turned
into
everlasting
sorrow
,
and
your
communion
in
unrighteousness
shall
become
your
unity
in
the
just
indignation
of
wrath
;
and
your
liberty
enjoyed
in
the
World
shall
be
turned
into
your
bondage
,
in
the
●ake
of
Fire
;
and
your
wisdom
and
knowledge
shall
rot
in
the
pit
.
and
your
righteousness
and
uprightness
which
once
was
in
you
,
shall
never
be
mentioned
to
you
,
for
your
own
iniquities
shall
you
bear
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
:
With
the
eternal
Light
you
are
comprehended
;
your
beginning
which
was
in
judgment
,
and
your
time
which
is
in
false
peace
,
and
false
liberty
,
and
love
,
and
fleshly
joy
,
and
your
end
,
which
will
be
everlastingly
miserable
:
And
though
you
speak
of
the
Light
,
and
what
it
once
wrought
,
yet
being
from
it
,
turned
into
Darkness
,
bringing
forth
fruits
of
Darkness
and
unrighteousness
,
the
Light
is
your
eternal
condemnation
;
and
because
you
are
the
highest
stone
in
the
Building
of
mystery
iniquity
,
the
greater
will
be
your
fall
into
the
Ditch
of
deeper
perdition
:
you
have
been
the
greatest
dishonourers
of
the
true
God
,
and
in
the
way
of
the
upright
are
you
a
stumbling
unto
this
day
:
your
state
is
read
,
and
your
portion
is
foretold
,
and
this
prophesie
shall
not
fail
,
but
upon
your
heads
shall
be
fulfilled
.
To
all
you
that
are
called
Seekers
and
Waiters
.
THe
Lord
hath
many
things
against
you
,
and
his
Controversie
will
be
with
you
;
you
are
the
highest
in
the
Image
of
many
mixtures
,
and
your
Tent
is
pitched
in
the
Plains
of
feigned
humility
,
and
your
goodly
building
stand
;
upon
the
Sand
,
repaired
and
beautified
by
the
scattered
stones
,
gathered
out
of
the
ruins
of
the
former
Cities
of
confusion
;
among
you
there
is
a
simplicity
,
and
a
calm
spirit
,
for
you
have
been
poured
from
vessel
to
vessel
,
and
your
scent
is
not
so
strong
as
the
former
,
neither
is
your
growth
so
perfect
in
the
mystery
of
iniquity
,
as
by
appearing
in
so
perfect
a
shape
of
the
Serpent
;
you
seek
not
at
the
true
Door
,
nor
wait
not
at
the
Gates
of
Life
,
and
your
seeking
will
end
before
life
eternal
you
find
;
for
you
with
the
rest
,
stumbles
at
the
Foundation
;
and
in
him
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
enlighteneth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
you
cannot
believe
;
you
are
airy
in
your
words
and
knowledge
,
and
speak
of
that
which
through
death
you
never
obtained
;
your
knowledge
is
high
,
but
it
ariseth
out
of
the
cursed
ground
,
which
is
not
removed
in
you
;
Form
;
outward
you
deny
,
but
your
Form
is
inward
,
and
your
chiefest
Idol
is
in
your
heart
;
and
while
you
say
you
eat
and
drink
the
Flesh
and
Blood
of
Christ
,
in
the
Substance
you
slay
him
in
his
least
measure
,
and
your
wills
prophesie
a
false
peace
,
which
will
be
turned
into
true
trouble
;
and
when
you
speak
,
the
mans
head
is
covered
,
and
the
womans
head
is
uncovered
,
and
this
is
a
shame
,
that
the
woman
hath
not
power
on
her
head
:
your
Seeking
and
Waiting
is
of
your selves
,
and
in
your
own
time
,
and
the
Lord
is
not
all
,
and
in
all
among
you
,
for
your
Mother
is
not
the
Lords
wife
,
but
married
unto
a
Harlot
,
and
your
seed
is
mixed
with
strange
Children
:
A
Prophet
was
your
Father
,
and
a
Whore
brought
you
forth
,
and
your
Profession
will
wither
as
time
passeth
away
,
and
your
covering
is
too
narrow
,
and
your
righteousness
no
more
regarded
then
your
sin
;
for
the
Spirit
convinceth
of
it
,
as
of
sin
;
with
the
Light
everlasting
your
height
and
depth
is
comprehended
:
And
this
to
you
is
a
Warning
,
for
a
Preparation
to
meet
the
Lord
,
and
to
put
away
your
other
Lovers
.
The
Beast
which
all
the
World
wonders
after
(
but
they
whose
names
are
written
in
the
Lambs
Book
of
Life
)
hath
many
Heads
,
and
many
Horns
.
ANd
the
great
Image
set
up
in
the
Earth
worshipped
by
Nations
and
People
,
is
of
many
mixtures
,
and
it
shall
fall
before
the
little
Stone
,
which
strikes
at
the
Bottom
;
All
your
several
Forms
,
and
divers
appearances
outward
,
and
different
Judgements
and
Opinions
,
will
stand
you
in
no
stead
in
the
dreadful
day
of
the
Lord
which
upon
all
flesh
is
coming
,
and
hastning
in
its
glory
.
Wo
,
wo
will
be
the
end
of
all
profession
,
when
Christ
comes
in
his
own
way
,
contrary
to
all
your
divided
expectations
,
and
groundless
hopes
,
He
was
before
the
world
was
,
and
doth
and
shall
reign
for
ever
,
when
it
is
not
:
and
in
this
his
day
will
the
Lord
God
set
up
an
everlasting
Kingdom
,
of
whose
Government
and
Dominion
there
shall
be
no
end
,
but
it
shall
abide
for
ever
,
and
your
divided
Kingdom
of
the
Beastly
power
and
authority
shall
be
dashed
to
pieces
,
never
more
to
be
found
;
and
your
Mountains
shall
be
burned
,
and
your
righteousness
and
your
sin
shall
meet
in
the
Pit
of
everlasting
Wrath
,
receiving
the
Sentence
of
eternal
Judgment
,
from
him
that
sits
upon
the
Throne
of
infinite
Power
and
Glory
;
and
your
rich
Treasures
shall
be
spoiled
in
a
Day
;
and
your
sun
and
light
shall
be
darkned
at
Noon-day
,
and
all
your
goodly
Buildings
shall
be
thrown
down
,
and
shall
become
the
Habitation
of
Dragons
:
I
have
viewed
you
all
in
the
eternal
Light
,
and
you
are
weighted
in
the
Ballance
of
Equity
,
and
all
your
wise
Builders
stumble
at
the
Foundation
,
and
at
the
Corner-Stone
;
and
Christ
Jesus
is
become
an
offence
unto
you
in
his
Light
,
by
which
he
hath
enlightened
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
of
which
you
are
unbelieving
,
and
therefore
shut
up
in
darkness
and
confusion
,
groping
as
blind
men
,
being
many
Branches
of
one
Root
,
planted
in
the
barren
cursed
ground
of
enmity
:
And
though
you
are
divided
as
Herod
and
Pilate
,
yet
do
you
joyn
your selves
in
one
Body
,
to
war
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
,
who
cannot
bow
to
your
great
Image
;
and
you
are
listed
in
the
Records
of
Gog
and
Magog
,
against
whom
the
Lamb
is
risen
,
and
his
Followers
come
forth
,
having
the
Bow
and
Sword
,
conquering
and
going
to
conquer
,
and
will
make
you
a
Desolation
for
ever
:
All
your
Sacrifice
is
corrupted
,
and
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
weary
with
your
Oblations
and
Offerings
;
your
hearts
are
far
from
him
,
and
your
hands
are
full
of
blood
,
and
the
Just
lyeth
slain
in
every
corner
of
your
Streets
;
and
the
Earth
covereth
the
blood
of
the
Innocent
,
and
the
Slain
cryeth
,
How
long
Lord
,
how
long
?
But
he
hath
heard
in
an
acceptable
time
,
and
will
come
forth
in
his
Might
,
and
will
slay
,
and
his
Hand
shall
not
spare
,
and
will
wound
,
and
his
Eye
shall
not
pity
.
Awake
,
awake
,
ye
Careless
and
Slothful
,
that
have
laid
at
ease
in
the
dark
night
of
Slumber
;
and
Come
out
,
come
out
ye
Upright-hearted
,
and
separate
your selves
,
and
touch
no
unclean
thing
,
nor
no
longer
partake
of
their
Idolatries
and
Inchantments
:
The
Lord
is
now
coming
to
gather
his
own
,
and
to
make
up
his
Jewels
of
the
Despised
;
and
his
Angels
are
gone
forth
to
Reap
the
Earth
,
to
bring
in
the
Wheat
,
and
to
bind
the
Tares
in
bundles
,
for
the
fire
of
everlasting
Fury
;
and
Babel
shall
be
thrown
down
,
and
the
great
Whore
shall
be
rewarded
,
which
sits
upon
the
Nations
,
and
Tongues
,
and
People
;
and
the
Dregs
of
the
Cup
of
Wrath
shall
be
wrung
out
unto
her
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
man
of
sin
shall
utterly
be
laid
waste
,
and
every
Subject
shall
be
utterly
driven
away
into
everlasting
captivity
of
Vengeanee
;
and
all
your
Sects
,
and
Opinions
,
and
many
Wayes
,
and
Forms
,
and
Worships
shall
become
heaps
of
Confusion
for
ever
,
And
your
talking
of
Christ
without
you
,
so
long
and
largely
professed
by
you
,
shall
not
save
you
,
nor
justifie
you
in
another
World
,
who
are
found
Enemies
and
Actors
against
his
Light
,
present
in
the
World
,
which
is
but
one
in
you
all
,
at
which
you
all
stumble
,
and
by
which
you
shall
all
be
broken
,
and
which
shall
grinde
you
to
powder
,
and
be
your
eternal
Condemnation
,
in
this
World
,
and
forever
;
which
Light
shines
in
your
darkness
,
and
convinceth
every
one
of
you
of
your
sin
;
which
Light
if
it
you
love
,
is
your
Way
to
Peace
with
God
Eternal
,
and
will
lead
you
into
one
Truth
,
to
be
of
one
heart
and
one
mind
,
and
to
serve
one
God
with
one
accord
,
in
loving
him
with
all
the
heart
,
and
your
Neighbour
as
your self
,
and
this
is
Sacrifice
of
the
living
God
only
accepted
.
And
to
you
,
all
sorts
of
People
,
my
Conscience
do
I
clear
,
to
the
Light
in
all
your
Consciences
(
which
is
but
One
)
without
respect
to
your
Persons
,
whether
you
hear
or
forbear
;
And
this
to
you
all
is
a
Warning
,
and
A
Trumpet
sounded
out
of
Sion
;
your
many
gods
and
Idols
to
forsake
,
and
your
Forms
without
power
to
turn
away
from
,
and
all
your
graven
Images
set
up
in
your
hearts
to
cast
away
:
And
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
you
all
,
which
upon
you
all
shall
be
fulfilled
,
and
by
you
witnessed
,
when
the
Book
of
your
Conscience
is
opened
,
and
your
eternal
judgment
rewarded
by
the
just
Judge
,
that
sits
upon
the
Throne
of
true
Judgment
,
judging
nations
,
and
People
righteously
.
TO
all
you
who
are
in
the
Light
of
eternal
Life
,
which
doth
comprehend
the
World
,
who
are
born
from
above
,
of
the
Immortal
Word
,
which
doth
live
for
ever
,
who
are
not
of
the
World
,
nor
of
the
many
Opinions
in
Divisions
,
but
of
one
Heart
,
Soul
,
and
Spirit
,
Worshippers
of
the
one
living
God
,
with
whom
there
is
no
change
,
nor
shaddow
of
turning
,
who
are
not
known
to
the
World
(
though
by
it
scornfully
called
Quakers
)
even
you
doth
the
Lord
also
remember
with
everlasting
Kindness
,
and
infinite
Love
,
of
whose
beginning
and
end
there
is
none
,
and
whose
height
and
depth
,
measure
,
and
limit
cannot
be
found
out
;
for
you
hath
he
chosen
above
all
the
Families
of
the
Earth
,
to
place
his
Name
among
,
and
to
stablish
his
everlasting
Covenant
with
,
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
forever
;
and
Redemption
,
and
Salvation
to
you
is
come
,
Judgment
and
Mercy
in
you
is
met
,
Righteousness
and
Peace
in
you
hath
embraced
each
other
;
In
the
womb
of
eternal
Love
undefiled
was
your
Conception
,
begotten
by
the
Word
of
immortal
Life
,
unto
the
Inheritance
incorruptable
,
whereof
you
are
Heirs
of
the
faithful
Promise
,
made
free
by
the
Son
,
through
the
slaying
of
the
enmity
upon
his
Cross
,
whereby
you
are
nourished
up
into
Immortallity
,
to
reign
over
Hell
,
and
Death
,
and
the
Grave
for
evermore
:
With
thoughts
of
eternal
Love
are
you
remembred
,
and
read
in
the
Lambs
book
of
Life
,
recorded
by
the
eternal
Spirit
,
and
of
the
Lord
cannot
be
forgotten
:
Your
Mother
is
a
Virgin
unspotted
,
and
your
City
is
new
Ierusalem
,
come
down
from
Heaven
,
and
glorious
,
and
full
of
Pleasure
is
your
Dwelling
place
,
there
is
no
need
of
a
candle
,
for
the
Lamb
is
the
Light
thereof
,
and
the
Temple
therein
:
Your
God
is
no
Image
,
nor
your
Worship
no
Imgination
,
nor
to
the
great
Image
you
do
not
joyn
,
nor
his
power
hath
no
dominion
over
you
;
but
the
Yea
and
Amen
is
your
Covenant
,
and
the
I
am
,
whom
there
is
none
besides
,
is
your
God
,
and
he
that
lives
forever
is
your
Rock
and
sure
Defence
,
and
Salvation
is
appointed
your
Walls
and
Bulwarks
,
Gladness
is
sown
for
you
,
yea
,
everlasting
Mercies
shall
you
reap
,
and
your
long
mourning
shall
be
turned
into
everlasting
Rejoycing
,
and
your
present
Heaviness
into
durable
Joy
;
your
Waters
shall
be
sure
,
and
your
Bread
shall
never
fail
,
your
Fulness
shall
abound
,
and
your
Plenty
shall
be
enlarged
,
never
more
to
hunger
nor
thirst
,
but
your
little
Seed
shall
become
a
great
Nation
,
and
the
whole
Earth
shall
be
replenished
thererewith
,
and
your
despised
Government
shall
rule
over
Kingdoms
,
and
your
Laws
shall
all
the
Nations
of
the
Earth
become
subject
unto
.
Ye
are
no
part
of
the
Image
of
Idolatry
,
but
your
beginning
is
the
little
Stone
cut
out
without
a
hand
,
and
it
shall
fill
the
Earth
,
and
become
a
great
Mountain
,
whereupon
the
Fowls
of
the
Heaven
shall
be
refreshed
,
eating
the
flesh
of
Kings
and
Captains
.
You
are
found
faithful
in
your
Tryals
,
and
the
glory
of
the
World
cannot
steal
away
your
Hearts
;
you
cannot
be
moved
,
for
your
feet
are
set
upon
a
Rock
:
Satan
you
scorn
,
and
the
glory
of
his
Kingdom
you
utterly
disdain
,
upon
his
power
you
tread
,
and
your
feet
trample
under
foot
his
majesty
and
renown
.
Your
King
reigns
for
ever
,
and
of
his
Government
and
Dominion
there
shall
be
no
end
,
but
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
Earth
shall
be
given
for
a
Possession
to
him
;
his
Scepter
is
Righteousness
,
and
his
Law
is
Equity
,
and
his
Statutes
are
full
of
Justice
and
Judgment
.
And
thus
saith
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
your
God
and
King
,
Because
you
have
been
found
faithful
,
and
have
not
loved
your
lives
unto
death
for
his
Names
sake
,
and
for
his
Glories
sake
,
but
have
continually
abased
your selves
,
and
laid
down
your
Crowns
,
that
you
might
honour
him
;
therefore
you
will
he
honour
and
exalt
,
and
will
establish
your
Kingdom
in
peace
forever
;
and
all
that
riseth
up
in
judgment
against
you
shall
be
consounded
and
condemned
,
and
his
Hand
will
be
against
all
your
Adversaries
,
to
their
overthrow
,
and
dishonour
everlastingly
.
You
have
loved
Righteousness
and
Judgment
upon
Earth
,
and
your
Path
hath
been
in
Equity
,
and
you
have
born
the
Affliction
and
Storm
with
patience
,
and
have
endured
with
joy
the
Burden
of
the
Oppressor
;
you
have
been
tryed
to
the
bottom
,
and
have
been
found
Innocent
and
without
Guile
,
before
the
Throne
of
God
,
clothed
with
the
Garments
of
Uprightness
;
your
Light
is
the
Candle
of
the
Lord
,
and
your
Life
and
Glory
is
the
Possession
of
the
Most
High
.
Babylon
is
given
you
for
a
Prey
,
and
the
riches
of
Aegypt
is
given
you
for
a
Spoil
;
and
you
are
free-born
Children
of
the
Seed
Elect
,
the
first
Fruits
unto
God
,
and
unto
the
Lamb
;
your
Purchase
is
obtained
through
death
,
and
your
Crown
of
honour
is
purchased
through
suffering
;
and
the
glory
of
Babylon
is
no
whit
equal
,
for
thou
excellest
in
Beauty
and
Vertue
,
Whereunto
shall
thy
Beauty
be
compared
?
O
thou
fair
and
comly
Virgin
!
unto
whom
shall
I
liken
thee
?
O
thou
choice
and
free-born
Daughter
of
Sions
King
!
thy
long
travel
of
sorrows
in
the
womb
of
Anguish
hath
brought
forth
Children
of
a
comly
stature
,
thy
Babes
are
truly
lovely
,
upright
,
and
faithful-hearted
;
thy
Young-men
are
noble
,
bold
and
valiant
,
chosen
of
thy
God
,
and
Victory
is
with
them
;
thy
Virgins
are
perfect
in
Beauty
,
pure
,
and
undefiled
,
and
no
spot
in
their
Garments
;
thy
Old
men
are
lively
and
honourable
,
and
stedfast
in
the
Path
of
Righteousness
,
and
their
gravity
shall
be
truly
respected
;
thy
Body
is
perfect
in
the
Lords
Record
and
Remembrance
,
and
with
an
eternal
Crown
of
infinite
Glory
shall
the
Righteous
Judge
honour
thee
,
because
you
have
delighted
to
do
his
Will
,
and
have
kept
his
Covenant
undefiled
,
which
abides
with
you
for
ever
,
sealed
and
signed
unto
you
by
the
Spirit
of
Promise
,
decreed
before
the
World
was
.
All
Nations
shall
call
you
blessed
,
and
of
your
fulness
shall
they
partake
:
Who
is
like
unto
you
?
A
People
saved
by
the
Lord
,
elect
,
and
chosen
,
and
redeemed
out
of
Kindreds
,
Tongues
,
and
People
,
and
have
a
name
better
then
of
Sons
and
Daughters
.
Praise
ye
the
Lord
,
and
Glorifie
him
for
evermore
.
Young-men
and
Maidens
,
Old-men
and
Children
,
and
all
that
breath
,
Praise
you
the
Lord
,
for
thereunto
are
you
called
,
and
for
this
cause
are
you
brought
forth
:
Clap
your
hands
,
and
sing
for
joy
of
heart
,
your
Redeemer
is
the
holy
One
,
and
your
Maker
is
your
Husband
;
I
know
you
,
and
to
you
am
I
known
;
and
I
read
you
within
the
Vail
,
and
do
behold
you
,
the
Train
of
the
Most
High
filling
his
Temple
:
Follow
him
forever
,
and
let
his
Name
be
testified
of
throughout
the
Earth
.
Make
War
in
Righteousness
,
and
prepare
your selves
to
do
his
service
;
Let
not
your
hands
be
slack
,
neither
be
you
sloathful
in
our
Lords
Design
,
but
wound
the
Head
of
your
Enemies
,
and
mannage
War
against
Gog
and
Magog
,
throughout
all
Generations
;
Ride
on
and
prosper
tread
down
the
fenced
Cities
,
and
enlarge
your
dominion
,
and
let
the
Children
of
Strangers
,
of
the
Seed
of
Esau
,
be
your
Slaves
and
Bond-men
;
and
fill
the
Earth
with
your
precious
Seed
,
and
sow
it
in
the
morning
,
and
in
the
Evening
with-hold
not
your
hand
;
though
you
are
despised
of
men
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
made
you
truly
honorable
;
in
his
Glory
you
appear
,
and
his
Righteousness
is
your
clothing
,
which
will
never
wither
;
and
though
some
of
you
for
a
moment
suffer
Bonds
for
his
Names
sake
,
yet
you
are
free
everlasting
,
and
are
not
ashamed
of
your
Testimony
before
the
Princes
and
Nobles
of
the
Earth
.
O
Sion
!
thou
art
desirable
,
because
of
thy
Beauty
,
and
thy
Dwelling-place
is
scituate
in
a
very
fruitful
Hill
,
and
thou
feedest
in
the
Valleys
of
fat
Pastures
of
eternal
Pleasures
,
where
nothing
that
defiles
can
enter
,
nor
no
Devourer
treadeth
on
thy
Mountain
,
nor
no
Lyons
Whelp
treadeth
in
thy
Path
;
it
is
the
Way
of
the
Ransomed
of
the
Lord
,
who
hath
blotted
out
thy
Transgressions
,
never
more
to
remember
thy
Sins
,
thou
Seed
of
Iacob
.
The
Lord
is
your
God
for
ever
,
while
you
be
his
People
.
Therefore
walk
before
him
in
Righteousness
,
and
let
his
own
works
praise
him
,
and
give
him
of
his
own
,
and
glorifie
him
with
it
eternally
.
Be
low
in
thy
heart
and
be
not
exalted
because
of
thy
Beauty
and
Riches
,
and
glory
not
but
only
in
the
Lord
:
Be
diligent
in
thy
mind
,
and
watch
against
all
thy
Enemies
,
and
be
not
of
a
careless
heart
:
Eat
not
of
the
Vine
of
Sodom
,
nor
drink
not
of
the
Cup
of
Whoredoms
;
give
not
thy
strength
to
Strange
women
,
nor
let
not
thy
desirable
Beauty
be
overcome
of
Harlots
,
but
keep
thy self
undefiled
,
and
mingle
not
thy
Seed
with
Strangers
;
but
be
fruitful
in
thy
pleasant
Land
upon
thy
beautiful
Mountain
,
and
bring
forth
aboundantly
unto
thy
God
,
who
hath
turned
thy
Wilderness
into
a
fruitful
Field
,
and
taken
away
thy
reproach
of
Barrenness
;
in
Conversation
upright
and
blameless
do
thou
daily
appear
;
in
Praises
,
and
Honour
,
and
Fear
do
thou
abound
,
and
let
thy
God
be
thy
Teacher
▪
in
his
Light
and
Truth
for
evermore
,
that
thy
Enemies
may
see
and
be
confounded
,
and
may
behold
,
and
be
ashamed
before
thee
,
unto
whom
thy
Rock
of
defence
is
a
stumbling
Stone
of
Offence
,
wherewith
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Earth
shall
be
dashed
to
pieces
,
and
broken
as
a
Potters
Vessel
before
thee
.
Come
forth
in
thy
Beauty
,
and
appear
in
thy
Glory
to
the
Nations
.
Arise
,
arise
,
why
shouldst
thou
sit
as
alone
,
as
in
obscurity
and
darkness
undiscovered
?
Let
the
Princes
of
the
Earth
see
thy
excellency
,
and
appear
before
the
Nobles
in
thy
Robes
of
perfect
Honour
,
wherewith
thou
art
decked
,
and
trimed
,
as
a
Bride
pleasant
unto
thy
Husband
:
Do
thou
judge
among
the
Judges
,
and
give
thy
counsel
among
the
Prudent
,
and
appear
in
thy
Authority
before
Kings
and
Princes
:
All
the
Dominions
of
the
World
are
not
equal
in
Treasure
and
Wisdom
unto
thee
,
but
all
the
Children
of
Whoredoms
shall
see
their
shame
,
and
be
laid
naked
when
thou
appearest
in
thy
purity
;
The
Nations
long
for
thee
to
be
partakers
of
thy
vertue
,
therefore
shew
thy self
,
and
appear
,
that
the
rest
of
thy
Flock
which
yet
remain
upon
the
barren
Mountains
may
come
in
unto
thy
Fold
,
to
rest
under
thy
Shepherds
Power
.
O
Sion
,
thou
art
prepared
of
thy
God
,
to
beat
the
Mountains
to
dust
;
thou
art
fitted
for
his
Service
,
to
thresh
the
Hills
:
Make
no
tarrying
but
come
away
,
spread
thy self
into
every
corner
of
the
Earth
,
for
the
Upright
thirst
for
thee
aboundantly
;
who
lie
under
the
oppression
in
the
Land
of
Darkness
,
which
may
be
felt
,
from
whence
thou
art
freed
into
the
everlasting
Light
;
And
why
shouldst
thou
,
O
Sion
,
lie
at
Rest
,
while
thy
own
Seed
,
the
Children
of
thy
Womb
are
oppressed
,
groaning
in
the
captivity
,
under
the
Uncircumcised
who
have
driven
away
thy
Remnant
,
and
scattered
it
from
thee
?
Put
on
strength
,
O
Arm
of
the
Lord
,
for
thy
Heritage
hath
no
other
Helper
,
nor
none
that
pitieth
her
:
And
shine
forth
thou
Seed
of
Iacob
,
and
bring
in
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Gentiles
to
partake
with
thee
of
thy
everlasting
Substance
,
and
lay
out
thy self
to
gain
in
thy
holy
Seed
out
of
the
power
of
Aegypts
King
;
O
think
upon
and
remember
thy
own
former
Bondage
,
while
thou
was
thy self
Captive
in
a
strange
Land
;
and
let
thy
Bowels
be
filled
with
compassion
towards
thy
own
Mothers
Children
;
and
be
not
straitned
in
thy
help
and
deliverance
;
for
thy
God
hath
given
thee
an
Instrument
with
Teeth
,
to
beat
the
Rocks
to
powder
;
he
is
not
wanting
unto
thee
in
Power
and
Wisdom
,
thou
chiefest
Son
of
his
Love
.
Give
up
,
give
up
to
obey
his
Voice
,
and
love
not
thy
life
unto
death
,
till
the
Seed
of
thy
Inheritance
,
and
the
blood
of
thy
Chosen
be
avenged
upon
the
head
of
Iezabel
,
who
hath
slain
thy
elect
in
all
Generations
,
and
nourished
her self
with
the
blood
of
thy
Innocent
.
Call
upon
thy
God
,
and
awake
him
to
Vengeance
,
to
smite
and
to
slay
thy
Adversaries
,
and
to
consume
their
Habitations
from
off
the
Earth
,
who
have
been
too
strong
for
thee
,
Why
shouldst
thou
not
come
forth
in
the
power
of
thy
Judgments
;
to
judge
the
Earth
in
Righteousness
,
and
to
exalt
thy
name
in
thy
Glory
,
which
all
men
have
despised
,
and
seen
no
Excellency
in
?
And
thou
O
Sions

as
a
Stranger

unknown
in

thy
Treasure
hath
been
wasted
amongst
the
Harlots
,
and
empty
to
this
day
hast
thou
returned
,
from
gathering
fruit
of
thy
Vineyard
;
for
sloathful

aboundantly
idle
have
the
Labourers
been
in
the
Harvest
and
it
is
time
for
thee
to
arise

work
;
for
thy
Law

been
made

thy
Statutes

all
the

How

Lord

How

When

thou

Is
it

How

the

overthrown

A
1656
DESCRIPTION
OF
THE
State
and
Condition
Of
all
Mankind
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
.
And
a
Discovery
unto
all
,
shewing
what
man
was
in
his
Creation
before
Transgression
,
and
what
he
is
in
Transgression
;
how
he
is
become
a
degenerate
Plant
,
bringing
forth
cursed
fruit
,
to
the
grieving
of
the
good
Husband-man
,
who
is
thereby
provoked
continually
against
the
Works
of
his
own
hands
,
to
destroy
that
which
he
hath
made
,
because
it
is
defiled
through
mans
Transgression
.
Also
the
Way
of
Restoration
,
of
Salvation
,
Redemption
,
and
of
Life
Eternal
,
is
here
declared
unto
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
in
the
whole
world
,
that
all
may
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Creator
,
and
to
have
fellowship
with
him
again
,
from
whom
all
the
Children
of
men
are
separated
in
the
state
of
enmity
,
and
are
ignorant
of
him
,
and
drove
from
his
presence
.
This
is
to
go
abroad
into
all
the
Earth
,
through
the
whole
world
,
as
a
Call
and
Visitation
unto
all
mankind
,
that
they
may
hear
and
consider
their
condition
,
and
may
return
from
whence
they
are
fallen
,
and
may
be
restored
again
to
serve
,
and
worship
,
and
glorifie
the
living
God
,
who
made
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
all
things
therein
.
THis
is
chiefly
to
go
abroad
into
the
dark
parts
of
the
World
,
among
those
called
Heathens
most
especially
;
but
its
service
reacheth
to
all
men
and
people
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
:
And
out
of
love
unto
the
Creation
,
and
to
all
People
in
the
World
was
it
written
,
and
is
it
brought
forth
in
publick
,
that
all
that
have
ears
to
hear
may
hear
;
and
it
is
to
be
translated
into
several
Languages
by
any
who
are
moved
of
the
Lord
thereunto
;
for
of
a
truth
the
Lord
is
risen
among
us
,
and
God
hath
given
the
Word
from
his
Mouth
,
and
many
are
they
that
publish
it
abroad
through
the
World
.
TO
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
in
the
whole
World
,
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
,
the
Power
that
made
you
,
and
that
made
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
all
things
therein
,
your
State
and
Condition
consider
,
How
that
you
are
all
drove
from
God
your
Maker
,
and
from
the
knowledge
of
him
and
of
his
Wayes
,
which
are
Life
and
Peace
,
and
are
in
Darkness
,
Blindness
,
and
Ignorance
,
separated
from
that
Power
that
made
you
,
and
in
the
enmity
against
it
,
and
are
Enemies
to
it
in
all
your
wayes
and
words
,
where
the
sorrow
,
anguish
,
wo
,
and
trouble
is
.
But
the
second
Adam
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
the
Power
by
whom
all
things
were
made
,
who
is
called
Christ
Jesus
,
hath
lightened
every
one
of
you
with
the
true
Light
,
which
shines
in
your
hearts
in
darkness
,
to
give
you
the
understanding
of
the
knowledge
of
him
that
made
you
,
and
of
his
Salvation
,
and
Redemption
,
and
of
eternal
Life
,
if
you
love
the
Light
with
which
you
are
all
lightened
.
And
first
,
The
Light
measureth
every
mans
state
in
true
Judgment
,
and
with
it
you
may
all
see
your selves
in
the
state
wherein
you
now
stand
,
which
is
a
state
separated
from
God
;
and
the
state
wherein
man
was
created
,
which
was
blessed
.
Therefore
search
,
and
consider
your
State
and
Condition
in
him
,
that
is
the
Light
of
the
World
;
of
the
dust
of
the
Ground
were
you
made
,
and
into
man
was
breathed
the
Breath
of
Life
;
from
the
living
Power
which
formed
all
things
;
and
man
was
made
a
living
Soul
,
and
brought
forth
into
the
World
in
the
Image
and
Likeness
of
the
Power
that
made
him
,
every
one
in
particular
that
be
come
into
the
World
,
for
Male
and
Female
in
the
Image
of
the
Creator
created
he
them
,
without
sin
or
evil
:
And
man
was
a
noble
Plant
,
wholly
a
right
Seed
,
planted
with
the
choicest
Vine
,
and
placed
in
Paradise
,
the
Garden
of
the
Creator
,
and
there
was
set
to
bring
forth
Fruit
,
and
to
glorifie
and
honour
him
by
whom
man
,
and
all
Creatures
were
made
;
for
man
was
made
perfect
and
upright
,
set
in
the
Counsel
of
his
Maker
,
without
sin
,
or
spot
,
or
evil
in
his
sight
,
and
was
the
glory
of
the
Creator
,
and
was
made
for
his
glory
;
and
Power
and
Wisdom
was
given
unto
man
to
rule
and
govern
in
Dominion
,
in
Righteousness
,
and
in
Wisdom
over
all
living
Creatures
,
and
was
Lord
over
all
things
,
and
had
rule
and
authority
over
all
the
Creation
,
and
was
Steward
over
all
things
which
the
Creator
had
made
,
who
made
all
things
for
man
,
and
made
them
subject
unto
him
,
to
be
ordered
and
governed
by
him
,
and
used
to
his
Glory
by
whom
they
were
made
;
and
in
that
day
when
man
was
in
the
Counsel
of
him
that
made
him
,
and
was
subject
to
his
Will
,
he
was
blessed
above
all
Creatures
,
and
unto
him
were
〈◊〉
Creatures
blessed
,
and
not
any
thing
was
evil
that
was
made
,
but
good
in
hi●
Sight
that
made
it
,
and
good
unto
man
that
was
to
use
it
,
he
being
brought
for●●
in
the
Image
of
the
Creator
,
and
had
a
measure
of
his
Wisdom
,
and
his
Powe●
to
teach
him
,
and
to
lead
him
in
the
exercise
of
all
Creatures
,
and
was
in
perfe●●
freedom
over
all
things
,
to
rule
in
the
Wisdom
of
God
.
And
this
was
the
sta●…
of
man
before
transgession
,
which
state
was
blessed
,
and
not
subject
to
the
cu●…
of
misery
,
or
sorrow
,
nor
trouble
,
nor
torment
;
but
man
disobeyed
the
Power
that
made
him
,
and
went
from
its
Counsel
,
and
contrary
to
its
Will
,
and
griev●…
it
,
and
vexed
it
,
till
it
became
his
Enemy
to
fight
against
him
,
and
to
curse
him
▪
for
he
had
transgressed
against
it
,
by
feeding
on
that
part
which
he
should
not
,
with
the
knowledg
of
things
,
and
so
became
wise
,
and
lost
Uprightness
,
and
touched
that
which
the
Power
that
made
him
had
forbidden
,
and
so
his
mind
and
heart
adulterated
from
the
Creator
,
into
the
visible
glories
,
pleasures
,
and
things
which
were
less
then
himself
,
and
so
he
became
unprofitable
to
his
Maker
,
by
transgressing
against
him
,
and
only
profitable
to
himself
,
to
feed
,
and
nourish
,
and
delight
and
please
himself
in
the
outward
Creation
,
and
forgot
the
Power
that
made
him
;
and
thus
being
with
his
mind
turned
into
the
Earth
,
there
the
evil
entred
;
and
the
Devil
overcame
him
with
his
temptation
,
and
the
power
of
the
earthly
darkness
gained
dominion
over
him
,
to
sway
his
affections
,
desires
,
and
lusts
into
vanities
of
the
Earth
;
and
he
lost
his
dominion
over
the
Creatures
,
and
they
gained
dominion
over
him
,
to
serve
and
worship
them
,
and
to
please
himself
with
them
,
who
became
captive
with
his
mind
,
to
be
ruled
by
them
in
vanity
and
in
evil
:
And
thus
man
became
unprofitable
to
his
Maker
,
and
unfruitful
in
the
Garden
,
and
kept
it
not
undefiled
;
and
being
turned
from
the
Covenant
wherein
he
was
set
;
into
his
own
willing
and
desiring
in
the
outward
Creation
,
the
evil
defiled
him
,
and
he
became
evil
,
and
a
fruitless
Tree
that
cumbred
the
Ground
,
and
an
enmity
was
placed
in
him
by
disobedience
,
and
all
things
became
evil
to
him
,
and
the
door
of
all
misery
and
sorrow
was
opened
,
and
let
in
the
curse
upon
him
inwardly
and
outwardly
;
for
he
became
dead
in
transgression
to
the
Life
and
Power
,
and
Wisdom
of
the
Creator
,
and
every
moment
was
subject
to
die
in
this
World
also
.
And
through
transgression
of
the
Power
that
made
him
,
he
was
cast
out
of
the
Creator's
Garden
,
and
out
of
his
Love
,
to
labour
under
the
curse
,
in
unprofitable
Ground
,
and
also
out
of
his
own
dignity
,
and
honour
,
and
dominion
was
he
cast
,
and
became
Heir
of
death
and
Child
of
wrath
,
and
an
Enemy
in
his
mind
unto
the
Creator
,
and
an
enmity
was
placed
in
him
against
the
Power
that
made
him
,
and
rebellion
in
his
mind
from
which
all
the
works
of
unrighteousness
proceed
,
and
innocency
was
lost
,
and
man
became
hurtful
to
himself
,
and
to
all
Creatures
,
and
grieved
continually
the
Power
that
made
him
,
and
was
drove
from
the
presence
and
feeling
of
his
Creator
,
into
insensableness
:
And
in
this
state
unto
this
day
are
all
ye
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
the
first
Adam
,
in
the
enmity
against
the
Power
that
made
you
,
every
moment
transgressing
it
;
and
death
reigns
over
you
all
,
and
the
power
of
Darkness
rules
in
you
all
,
and
the
Law
of
sin
,
and
death
,
and
transgression
are
you
all
subject
to
,
and
led
captive
in
your
minds
,
affections
and
desires
,
at
the
will
of
the
power
that
leads
into
transgression
,
called
the
Devil
;
and
in
that
state
you
are
all
strangers
to
God
,
and
are
without
him
in
the
World
,
and
ignorant
of
the
knowledge
of
his
Wayes
,
and
are
in
the
perishing
state
for
want
of
Knowledge
,
and
subject
to
the
curse
of
the
power
which
you
transgress
,
and
are
Heirs
of
his
Wrath
,
having
no
part
of
the
Inheritance
of
Blessing
;
for
a
vail
of
Darkness
through
sin
hath
overspread
you
all
,
and
covered
you
all
from
the
sight
,
and
hearing
,
and
feeling
of
the
Creator
,
and
of
the
mystery
of
his
Glory
and
Wisdom
;
and
every
one
in
particular
,
and
none
excepted
of
all
the
Children
of
Adam
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
but
all
have
sinned
and
transgressed
,
and
death
reigns
over
all
,
and
blindness
of
heart
hath
possessed
all
,
and
all
have
fallen
short
of
the
glory
of
the
Creator
,
and
all
men
are
concluded
(
by
his
Spirit
)
to
be
under
sin
,
and
Children
of
Wrath
,
and
Heirs
of
Corruption
,
and
in
disobedience
,
and
rebellion
to
the
Life
that
gives
all
men
a
Being
:
The
whole
World
,
and
all
People
in
it
,
without
exception
of
Tribes
,
Generations
or
Nations
,
this
is
the
state
and
condition
of
all
the
Sons
of
men
;
all
flesh
hath
corrupted
his
way
upon
the
Earth
in
his
sight
that
made
it
,
and
the
wickedness
of
man
is
great
in
the
Earth
,
and
the
imaginations
and
thoughts
of
every
mans
heart
are
evil
continually
,
and
grieve
the
Creator
;
for
the
whole
Earth
is
filled
with
violence
through
mans
transgression
;
And
now
not
any
Stock
or
People
have
priviledge
one
above
another
,
to
Redemption
and
Salvation
,
and
to
the
Kingdom
of
Peace
and
Glory
,
but
Iew
and
Gentile
,
Wise
and
Foolish
,
Noble
and
Ignoble
,
Male
and
Female
,
all
People
without
exception
are
in
transgression
,
and
by
the
line
and
measure
of
true
Judgment
are
shut
out
from
the
Knowledge
of
Life
and
Salvation
,
and
of
the
Inheritance
of
the
Father
,
in
that
state
of
enmity
wherein
every
man
in
the
World
is
fallen
into
;
and
by
one
the
Offence
came
,
and
so
death
upon
all
men
,
which
reigneth
in
the
hearts
of
all
,
and
opposeth
the
Life
of
the
Creator
;
and
everyone
is
imperfect
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
blind
,
deaf
,
dumb
,
lame
,
and
without
the
sence
of
the
Power
of
him
that
made
him
,
and
brought
him
forth
;
his
Eye
sees
not
,
for
it
is
covered
with
a
vail
of
darkness
;
neither
doth
the
Ear
hear
,
for
it
is
stopped
;
nor
the
Tongue
speak
;
nor
the
Understanding
perceive
any
thing
of
the
Secrets
of
the
Lord
;
but
all
are
separated
and
divided
from
the
Tree
of
Life
,
and
are
cast
out
from
his
Presence
by
whom
the
World
was
made
,
into
blindness
of
heart
,
and
to
the
loathing
of
your selves
,
and
are
more
ignorant
of
your
Maker
then
the
Ox
is
of
his
Owner
,
or
the
Asse
of
his
Masters
Crib
;
for
you
know
not
him
that
gives
you
life
and
all
good
things
,
and
that
upholds
you
by
the
Word
of
his
Power
:
And
this
is
his
Word
unto
you
all
,
You
are
all
under
the
power
of
Satan
,
and
subject
to
his
will
,
acting
in
iniquity
and
in
evil
,
bringing
forth
the
fruits
of
death
from
that
ground
in
which
you
now
stand
,
which
is
cursed
and
your
Maker
hath
no
pleasure
in
it
;
for
your
fruits
grieve
his
Spirit
that
made
you
,
and
vex
his
Soul
that
brought
you
forth
;
for
man
is
degenerated
into
the
plant
of
a
strange
Vine
;
and
brings
forth
wild
Grapes
and
cursed
Fruit
which
are
of
a
bitter
taste
unto
the
Lord's
Soul
,
who
planted
all
things
for
himself
,
who
is
the
good
Husbandman
;
but
the
whole
Earth
is
corrupted
,
and
all
Mankind
in
it
,
and
man
is
not
now
acted
,
nor
led
,
nor
ruled
in
his
heart
by
the
Power
that
made
him
,
which
gives
him
all
good
things
;
but
the
power
of
Satan
,
the
Serpent
,
the
old
Dragon
,
which
deceived
from
the
beginning
,
who
is
in
the
enmity
against
the
Life
of
the
Creator
;
he
acts
man
,
and
rules
man
to
the
abuse
of
all
Creatures
,
and
to
his
own
destruction
;
and
every
particular
man
is
liable
to
the
wrath
,
and
to
the
curse
,
and
to
everlasting
wo
,
and
misery
,
and
torment
from
his
Maker
,
in
that
state
of
disobedience
whereinto
all
mankind
is
fallen
,
not
one
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
excepted
from
transgression
,
and
so
from
misery
;
nor
none
priviledged
one
above
another
unto
happiness
,
but
as
I
have
said
,
Male
and
Female
,
who
were
made
in
the
Image
of
their
Maker
in
the
first
Creation
,
but
now
every
man
in
the
whole
World
is
in
the
enmity
against
the
Life
of
the
Power
that
made
him
,
and
is
a
Child
of
wrath
,
and
shut
up
in
blindness
and
unbelief
,
under
the
Devils
power
,
which
power
abode
not
in
the
Truth
,
but
is
out
of
the
Truth
;
and
all
mankind
is
left
in
this
condition
without
Help
,
or
Helper
,
or
Deliverance
,
or
Means
,
or
Way
of
Salvation
from
himself
or
any
other
Creature
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
but
is
a
Sheep
without
a
Shepherd
,
straying
and
wandring
in
the
thoughts
of
his
own
heart
after
vanity
,
and
that
wherein
there
is
no
profit
to
the
Lord
,
nor
to
his
own
Soul
,
but
death
and
sorrow
in
all
his
wayes
,
having
forsaken
the
Fountain
of
living
Waters
,
and
gone
a
whoring
after
other
Lovers
,
and
defiled
himself
,
and
so
brought
destruction
upon
himself
,
by
his
own
doings
;
who
abounds
in
all
Evil
,
Lying
,
Theft
,
Murder
,
Envy
,
Strife
,
stealing
;
and
Whoredom
,
and
such
like
,
which
are
the
fruits
of
the
Ground
that
is
cursed
for
mans
sake
.
But
now
unto
all
People
,
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
,
the
first
man
that
ever
was
made
,
Though
you
be
thus
fallen
into
misery
by
transgression
,
and
helpless
from
your selves
,
or
from
any
other
Creature
,
yet
hath
the
living
God
,
the
Power
which
made
you
,
and
which
you
have
transgressed
against
,
ordained
and
prepared
a
Way
to
be
restored
and
healed
,
and
to
be
brought
to
the
injoyment
and
feeling
of
the
Creator
,
from
the
disobedience
,
and
from
the
curse
,
and
misery
,
unto
the
blessing
and
happiness
;
and
unto
all
mankind
in
particular
is
prepared
a
Way
out
of
Death
unto
Life
,
out
of
the
loss
which
every
man
hath
received
in
Transgression
,
to
Salvation
,
and
Redemption
,
and
Deliverance
out
of
the
captivity
and
bondage
,
which
all
are
fallen
into
,
into
liberty
and
freedom
,
to
serve
his
Maker
,
and
to
glorifie
him
;
for
he
hath
not
been
served
nor
glorified
,
but
grieved
and
vexed
by
all
men
on
the
Earth
;
and
so
he
hath
brought
misery
and
the
curse
upon
all
,
by
forsaking
them
,
and
leaving
them
under
the
Power
which
made
them
not
,
to
be
led
and
guided
by
it
in
rebellion
unto
destruction
.
And
now
this
same
Power
by
which
man
was
made
,
is
mans
Restorer
,
and
Deliverer
,
and
Redeemer
,
and
Saviour
,
though
he
hath
transgressed
against
it
;
for
when
there
was
none
to
help
no●
to
save
of
any
creature
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
the
Arm
of
that
Power
which
made
all
things
stretched
forth
it self
to
save
the
Creatures
which
were
made
;
and
that
same
Power
which
is
transgressed
is
the
Redeemer
of
all
mankind
,
though
it
is
offended
,
and
burdened
,
and
pressed
as
a
Cart
with
Sheaves
,
by
transgression
against
the
Creator
;
and
that
is
the
Power
which
works
out
Salvation
and
Deliverance
by
slaying
the
enmity
,
and
condemning
iniquity
,
and
removing
the
cursed
ground
out
of
mans
heart
,
that
the
evil
fruits
may
cease
,
which
it
brings
forth
;
and
by
this
Power
all
must
be
saved
that
ever
are
saved
and
delivered
from
wrath
.
And
this
all
men
have
been
ignorant
of
,
and
not
felt
,
nor
known
,
nor
tasted
of
the
Life
and
Power
of
the
Creator
,
though
it
hath
been
near
unto
every
one
;
and
all
men
and
Creatures
live
move
and
have
their
being
by
it
,
and
sustenance
from
it
;
and
yet
man
transgresseth
it
,
and
grieveth
it
,
and
is
not
led
by
it
.
Therefore
all
People
upon
Earth
,
consider
your
condition
and
state
,
and
hearken
to
the
Power
that
made
you
,
a
measure
of
which
moveth
in
the
hearts
of
all
mankind
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
and
it
moveth
against
the
evil
,
and
against
the
defiled
and
transgressing
part
in
every
mans
heart
that
is
come
into
the
World
;
and
this
Power
by
which
all
men
were
made
,
and
which
they
have
transgressed
against
(
a
measure
of
it
from
the
Father
is
made
manifest
to
all
mankind
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
convinceth
of
the
evil
,
of
Murder
and
Adultry
,
and
such
like
;
and
condemneth
the
works
which
are
evil
in
every
particular
man
,
whether
Heathens
or
Christians
(
so
called
)
and
unto
all
People
,
here
is
the
Way
to
be
restored
into
covenant
with
your
Maker
,
a
measure
of
his
Power
in
you
,
secretly
moves
upon
you
,
and
calls
to
you
to
return
to
it
,
to
be
led
and
guided
by
it
,
in
fear
,
and
obedience
,
and
subjection
to
it
,
from
which
you
have
been
driven
,
and
against
which
you
have
transgressed
;
and
this
Power
,
the
Creator
,
hath
sent
his
Son
into
the
World
,
and
given
him
a
Gift
unto
all
mankind
;
and
he
hath
given
Light
and
Understanding
to
every
particular
man
to
know
Good
from
Evil
,
Truth
from
a
Lye
,
Right
from
Wrong
,
Justice
from
Injustice
,
and
Equity
from
Falshood
:
And
this
Power
of
the
Son
of
God
in
you
doth
witness
to
you
,
and
accept
you
,
when
with
it
you
be
guided
,
and
when
according
to
it
you
speak
and
act
;
and
it
justifies
the
good
,
and
the
right
,
and
the
equal
,
and
excuses
all
men
in
that
from
condemnation
;
but
against
Lying
,
and
Wrong-dealing
and
Deceit
,
and
Injustice
it
testifies
,
and
when
you
do
these
things
,
you
transgress
against
that
Power
that
made
you
,
which
should
save
you
,
and
justifie
you
,
and
excuse
you
,
and
with
it
you
are
accused
and
condemned
;
and
it
brings
trouble
upon
you
,
and
the
curse
of
misery
and
sorrow
:
And
this
Power
in
you
will
search
your
hearts
,
and
try
your
reins
,
and
let
you
see
your
thoughts
,
and
make
manifest
unto
you
the
state
and
condition
of
mankind
,
who
is
become
Enemy
to
his
Maker
,
in
following
that
which
brings
death
,
upon
which
the
Wrath
remaineth
,
till
there
be
a
returning
unto
the
Power
by
which
man
was
made
,
a
measure
of
which
(
as
I
have
said
)
moveth
in
the
hearts
of
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
in
all
the
World
:
And
now
if
every
one
of
you
do
turn
your
minds
from
the
World
and
from
the
glories
and
vanities
thereof
,
and
from
the
evil
which
hath
possessed
you
in
thoughts
and
actions
;
and
if
you
stand
still
for
a
moment
,
from
willing
and
desiring
to
your selves
,
and
after
the
World
,
this
shall
you
find
secretly
moving
in
you
,
which
shall
draw
you
towards
the
Creator
,
to
enjoy
him
,
and
to
see
his
Glory
,
which
none
that
are
still
in
transgression
against
him
can
ever
partake
of
,
or
behold
;
and
if
to
that
you
hearken
within
you
,
and
heed
it
,
and
follow
it
,
which
witnesseth
to
that
Power
that
made
you
,
to
be
great
,
and
mighty
,
and
wonderful
,
this
will
shew
that
you
are
short
of
his
Glory
:
And
it
will
condemn
evil
in
you
,
in
all
thoughts
,
words
and
actions
,
which
proceed
out
of
the
cursed
ground
,
in
which
the
Creator
hath
no
pleasure
;
and
this
will
take
away
the
vail
which
is
spread
over
you
all
,
and
open
the
blind
eye
,
and
unstop
the
deaf
ear
,
and
bring
you
to
hear
,
and
see
,
and
understand
the
things
which
are
eternal
,
which
belong
unto
your
peace
;
and
if
you
all
come
to
be
guided
by
that
which
moves
in
you
all
against
evil
,
it
will
lead
you
up
to
its
self
,
to
be
renewed
and
changed
(
out
of
the
evil
and
from
under
the
Devils
power
,
under
which
every
man
hath
been
subject
,
which
power
hath
been
out
of
Truth
)
into
the
Image
and
Likeness
of
the
Creator
,
and
to
be
restored
to
his
Inheritance
,
to
enjoy
Rest
and
Peace
forever
.
And
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Creator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
to
you
all
,
and
to
all
mankind
,
this
is
the
way
unto
Redemption
,
and
Salvation
,
and
unto
the
Blessing
,
out
of
all
Sorrows
,
and
Troubles
,
and
Afflictions
,
and
Torments
,
and
Woes
,
and
Miseries
;
which
are
the
Portion
forever
of
all
that
disobey
this
Power
which
moves
against
evil
in
you
,
which
is
the
Power
of
him
that
made
all
men
and
things
which
move
in
your
hearts
against
all
that
which
the
Creator
never
placed
in
you
,
but
which
are
fruits
of
Darkness
.
I
say
unto
you
all
,
This
Power
in
you
must
you
own
,
and
believe
in
,
and
follow
,
and
be
guided
by
it
,
and
bea●
its
condennation
,
and
judgment
upon
all
that
which
is
contrary
to
it
,
if
ever
you
be
restored
to
the
blessed
State
;
and
all
Anger
,
and
Wrath
,
and
Murder
,
and
Lying
,
and
Dissembling
,
and
Whoredom
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Brutishness
,
and
Beastliness
,
and
Wontonness
,
Backbiting
,
and
Theft
,
and
all
these
things
whatsoever
must
be
condemned
in
you
;
for
who
act
these
things
are
Enemies
to
the
Creator
,
and
are
led
by
the
Power
of
Darkness
which
is
the
Destroyer
of
you
,
soul
and
body
,
and
the
cause
of
the
curse
upon
you
,
and
the
ground
of
all
sorrow
,
and
sufferings
,
and
afflictions
,
and
troubles
which
come
upon
that
Part
in
you
which
is
in
transgression
against
the
Power
of
God
;
for
there
is
a
birth
born
of
the
flesh
which
brings
forth
,
and
goes
after
fleshly
wayes
,
fleshly
joyes
and
delights
,
and
pleasures
,
and
fleshly
words
,
and
vanities
,
which
murder
the
Just
,
and
blind
the
Eye
,
and
grieve
your
Maker
,
and
this
birth
must
not
inherit
eternal
Life
;
but
all
that
ever
do
inherit
must
be
born
again
of
another
Seed
,
and
into
another
Nature
,
where
all
the
former
things
are
passed
away
;
for
all
glories
of
this
World
will
wither
,
and
all
your
joyes
and
pleasures
will
come
to
an
end
,
and
you
will
be
left
miserable
and
wretched
.
Therefore
,
Oh
Earth
,
Earth
,
and
all
the
Children
of
Adam
in
the
whole
World
,
be
Awakened
,
be
Awakened
,
&
stirred
up
to
consider
of
your
state
&
condition
,
for
the
Creator
of
all
things
is
risen
to
gather
his
People
up
to
himself
,
and
his
Voice
soundeth
abroad
through
the
whole
World
:
If
any
hath
an
ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
,
Terror
and
Vengeance
is
against
all
the
Rebellious
,
and
to
Judgment
must
all
come
before
the
Maker
of
all
things
,
to
be
judged
by
him
according
to
the
Power
which
moves
in
every
man
,
which
is
just
and
equal
,
and
witnesseth
in
equity
,
which
is
a
measure
of
the
Power
that
made
the
World
,
and
all
mankind
unto
it
shall
confess
,
to
its
greatness
,
to
its
justness
,
and
to
its
authority
,
and
to
it
must
all
the
Children
of
Adam
bow
,
and
before
it
tremble
;
and
he
that
hath
done
good
,
and
lived
in
Meekness
,
and
Soberness
,
in
the
Truth
,
and
in
Justness
,
in
all
that
which
is
good
,
and
not
in
any
evil
,
shall
receive
Life
,
Peace
,
Rest
,
and
Glory
from
the
righteous
Judge
,
the
Power
by
whom
the
World
was
made
,
and
he
shall
be
excused
from
all
condemnation
;
but
he
that
hath
done
evil
and
transgressed
against
the
Power
of
God
by
which
he
is
upholden
,
who
is
degenerate
,
and
brings
forth
rudeness
,
wildness
,
and
wickedness
,
he
shall
receive
tribulation
and
anguish
,
and
be
deprived
of
happiness
in
this
life
,
and
forever
:
And
all
who
do
not
own
the
measure
of
the
Power
of
the
Creator
in
you
to
be
guided
by
it
,
such
do
neglect
and
reject
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
and
shut
your selves
out
from
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
are
unworthy
of
Life
and
Peace
;
but
all
that
ow●
this
,
and
are
subject
to
it
,
the
Power
of
his
Son
,
who
is
the
Maker
of
all
things
and
do
follow
it
,
this
will
reconcile
you
,
and
slay
the
enmity
,
and
bring
you
into
unity
with
the
Creator
;
and
this
will
lead
you
out
of
darkness
,
out
of
death
and
evil
,
and
all
the
wayes
thereof
,
and
will
save
you
from
all
the
effects
thereof
,
and
you
will
be
excused
and
justified
in
the
sight
of
the
Creator
.
Therefore
all
People
upon
Earth
consider
,
this
is
the
day
of
your
Visitation
;
the
Way
of
Life
and
of
Death
is
set
before
you
,
the
Way
unto
Peace
,
and
the
way
of
Trouble
.
Prize
the
day
of
your
Visitation
.
This
is
to
go
abroad
through
all
the
World
,
to
all
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
;
it
is
a
Warning
from
the
Creator
and
Maker
of
all
,
by
a
Friend
unto
all
People
,
and
a
Laver
of
their
souls
.
HEre
is
the
Estate
and
Condition
of
mankind
described
,
whereby
in
the
sigh●
of
the
World
all
may
come
to
understand
how
all
the
Sons
and
Daughte●●
of
the
first
Adam
are
degenerated
,
and
subverted
,
and
fallen
from
the
state
wherein
man
was
created
in
the
beginning
,
who
was
blessed
of
his
Creator
,
being
brought
forth
in
his
own
Image
and
Likeness
,
to
rule
in
dominion
over
all
living
Creatures
,
and
to
use
them
to
the
Glory
of
the
Creator
;
&
in
that
day
man
was
not
subject
to
the
curse
of
misery
,
or
sorrow
,
or
vexation
;
for
that
door
wo
was
not
opened
for
the
curse
to
enter
,
but
man
was
altogether
blessed
in
the
state
wherei●
he
was
brought
forth
,
until
by
disobedience
unto
the
Power
that
made
him
,
another
Power
gained
dominion
over
him
,
even
the
seed
of
enmity
placed
it self
in
ma●s
heart
,
which
prospered
by
mans
rebellion
,
and
became
a
great
Tree
of
bitterness
,
bringing
forth
much
fruit
in
the
hearts
of
all
the
Children
of
Adam
,
to
the
vexing
,
and
grieving
,
and
dishonouring
of
the
Spirit
and
Life
of
God
the
Creator
,
even
to
the
making
void
of
his
Purpose
in
creating
man
,
who
created
him
for
his
Glory
;
but
man
disgraces
him
,
and
dishonours
him
altogether
,
and
brings
forth
fruit
not
accepted
,
but
grievous
,
and
of
a
bitter
taste
;
and
the
Lords
Soul
hath
been
pressed
as
a
Cart
with
Sheaves
,
under
mans
Transgressions
,
who
hath
backslided
,
and
revolted
,
and
turned
aside
for
a
thing
of
nought
,
and
hath
cast
himself
down
from
his
excellency
of
Dominion
into
shame
and
dishonour
,
daily
provoking
the
Long-suffering
of
the
Lord
,
and
wearying
his
Goodness
,
;
and
he
hath
been
provoked
to
cut
off
the
Works
of
his
own
Hands
,
which
Satan
hath
entred
into
,
and
defiled
and
made
loathsom
and
abominable
to
the
Maker
;
for
Satan
hath
made
man
barren
of
all
good
,
and
fruitful
in
all
evil
,
and
he
is
wholly
subverted
into
another
end
in
all
his
works
,
then
wherefore
he
was
created
;
he
that
reads
let
him
understand
(
the
Creator
of
all
things
planted
a
Vineyard
,
with
the
choicest
Vine
,
his
own
Image
)
and
he
dressed
the
Vineyard
,
and
watered
it
,
and
he
came
to
look
for
Fruit
in
the
season
,
and
behold
the
Vineyard
it
was
degenerated
into
strange
Plants
,
and
brought
forth
only
wild
Grapes
,
and
sower
Grapes
,
and
crossed
the
expectation
of
the
good
Husbandman
,
for
the
fruit
of
his
Vineyard
was
loathsome
to
him
,
of
an
ill
Smell
,
and
of
a
bitter
Taste
,
and
his
Soul
was
not
satisfied
,
but
grieved
,
who
laboured
for
himself
,
that
he
might
gather
Fruit
of
the
Plants
which
he
had
planted
with
the
choicest
Vine
;
but
behold
,
the
Vineyard
(
all
mankind
)
was
barren
of
good
Fruit
,
and
no
pleasant
Fruit
could
the
Husbandman
reap
to
himself
,
but
the
Vines
were
degenerated
,
and
all
brought
forth
wild
Grapes
,
and
sower
Grapes
,
which
the
good
Husbandman
hath
no
pleasure
in
,
but
is
vexed
thereby
;
for
his
Vineyard
is
barren
of
all
good
Fruit
,
and
the
fruits
of
unrighteousness
have
abounded
,
whereby
the
good
Husbandman
is
provoked
to
fury
and
indignation
against
the
Vineyard
which
he
had
planted
,
being
become
degenerate
Plants
,
and
strange
Slips
;
this
a
Parable
and
describeth
the
Condition
of
all
Mankind
:
If
any
have
Ears
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
,
and
read
himself
,
how
he
was
planted
in
the
Image
of
his
Maker
,
but
is
now
degenerated
and
turned
aside
from
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
from
all
good
,
and
from
the
wayes
of
Peace
,
out
of
the
Love
and
Pleasure
of
his
Maker
,
and
is
now
in
all
evil
,
in
deceit
and
unrighteousness
,
and
in
the
Wayes
of
sorrow
and
trouble
,
and
in
the
Makers
displeasure
;
and
the
Seed
of
Enmity
ruleth
in
him
,
and
is
suffered
to
be
King
in
the
Wrath
of
God
,
and
must
be
taken
away
in
Gods
displeasure
and
anger
;
for
that
is
not
the
annointed
of
God
,
but
is
in
rebellion
against
his
Authority
,
and
breaks
his
Law
,
and
transgresses
his
Commands
,
and
must
be
condemned
into
perdition
;
for
all
cursed
Fruits
do
spring
forth
from
that
seed
,
to
the
vexing
and
grieving
of
the
Lord
God
,
injustice
,
oppression
,
deceit
,
hypocrisie
,
false-heartedness
,
lying
,
murther
,
whoredom
,
theft
,
envy
bitterness
,
perversness
,
devouring
one
another
,
covetousness
,
idolatry
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
which
gives
an
ill
savour
,
and
a
corrupted
taste
,
and
a
loathsom
sight
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
made
all
things
,
Oh
,
how
abominable
are
all
the
wayes
of
man
become
unto
his
Maker
,
who
hath
no
delight
in
any
of
his
ways
,
nor
pleasure
in
any
of
his
works
!
Oh
,
how
is
the
Lord
grieved
,
and
his
Soul
from
day
to
day
oppressed
,
and
his
Long-suffering
provoked
by
the
wayes
and
works
of
his
Creatures
which
he
made
for
himself
!
but
they
are
become
the
Devils
,
and
subject
to
the
power
of
the
enmity
;
and
all
mans
works
are
brought
forth
in
that
nature
which
is
evil
,
and
out
of
that
ground
which
is
cursed
,
his
good
works
are
not
accepted
,
and
his
evil
deeds
are
condemned
,
all
which
springs
forth
of
one
root
of
bitterness
and
enmity
,
which
is
in
the
displeasure
of
the
Creator
:
Oh
Earth
be
awakened
,
and
all
ye
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
call
to
mind
your
state
and
condition
,
and
repent
,
and
return
before
Destruction
,
when
no
time
of
repentance
can
be
found
.
Hearken
to
Instruction
,
and
let
your
Ears
be
open
to
hear
;
here
you
may
all
hear
and
understand
the
Way
to
Restoration
,
to
be
restored
and
recovered
out
of
this
condition
,
and
out
of
this
enmity
,
and
from
under
this
curse
of
misery
and
destruction
;
for
a
Way
hath
God
prepared
unto
all
mankind
;
and
is
making
it
manifest
unto
the
whole
Earth
,
that
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
may
again
know
their
Maker
,
and
have
fellowship
with
him
;
and
this
Way
is
but
one
,
which
is
ordained
for
all
People
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
of
what
Tribe
or
Nation
soever
:
And
all
that
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Creator
must
walk
in
this
Way
,
which
is
called
Christ
Jesus
,
who
is
the
Son
of
the
Creator
,
the
second
Adam
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
the
Creator
,
and
by
him
all
things
were
made
,
and
without
him
was
not
any
thing
formed
that
was
brought
forth
;
he
is
the
Restorer
,
the
Redeemer
,
and
the
Deliverer
;
for
he
cannot
be
overcome
of
the
evil
,
but
overcometh
and
treadeth
down
all
the
Powers
of
Darkness
,
and
Death
,
and
the
Devil
,
which
rise
against
him
in
all
the
World
;
and
the
Creator
hath
so
loved
mankind
,
though
he
hath
transgressed
against
him
,
and
grieved
him
,
yet
he
hath
given
his
Son
into
the
World
,
into
all
Nations
,
without
respect
of
Persons
or
People
,
to
be
the
Saviour
of
all
that
believe
in
him
,
and
receive
him
,
that
they
may
come
out
of
Death
and
Darkness
,
from
under
the
Devils
power
,
and
may
be
translated
,
and
changed
,
and
renewed
out
of
sin
,
and
death
,
and
ignorance
,
and
rebellion
,
and
out
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
,
into
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
And
this
Restorer
and
Saviour
,
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
the
Creator
,
hath
lightened
all
mankind
,
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
is
lightened
by
him
,
that
every
one
may
follow
him
,
and
be
guided
by
his
Power
and
Wisdom
;
and
every
one
that
doth
receive
him
;
sin
,
and
iniquity
,
and
transgression
is
condemned
;
and
the
seed
of
the
enmity
is
cast
out
by
his
Power
,
which
is
revealed
against
all
unrighteousness
,
and
he
subdues
it
,
and
works
it
forth
of
the
hearts
of
all
men
,
and
so
reconciles
man
again
to
his
Maker
,
to
have
fellowship
with
him
:
And
this
Restorer
,
the
second
Adam
,
comes
to
be
revealed
within
every
man
,
who
executes
true
Judgment
upon
the
Transgressor
,
and
bindeth
under
the
rebellious
nature
,
and
death
and
condemnation
passes
upon
the
seed
of
enmity
,
and
all
its
fruits
;
upon
the
Devil
,
and
all
his
works
;
upon
him
that
is
born
of
the
flesh
,
and
all
his
wayes
;
his
joy
is
turned
into
mourning
,
his
pleasures
into
sorrow
,
his
glory
and
rejoycing
into
sadness
of
heart
,
and
the
life
which
he
hath
lived
comes
to
be
crucified
,
and
the
wayes
which
he
hath
walked
in
comes
to
be
hedged
up
,
and
no
more
followed
;
and
his
strength
is
turned
into
weakeness
,
and
all
his
wayes
and
pleasures
fade
and
perish
,
and
the
Birth
which
is
Immortal
comes
to
be
brought
forth
,
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
Heir
of
the
Creators
Inheritance
,
who
hath
no
glorying
under
the
Sun
,
nor
no
pleasure
in
the
glory
of
this
World
,
which
passeth
away
,
but
lives
unto
God
in
all
things
,
and
brings
forth
fruit
unto
the
Father
,
and
is
replanted
into
the
living
Vine
,
and
is
leavened
into
a
new
lump
,
and
placed
in
the
Garden
of
God
;
all
the
old
Garments
are
put
off
,
and
old
things
are
passed
away
,
the
Devil
is
cast
out
,
the
blind
Eye
is
opened
,
and
the
Vail
is
taken
away
which
hath
been
spread
over
all
,
and
the
deaf
Ear
is
unstopped
,
and
man
is
again
returned
unto
his
Maker
,
and
hears
,
and
sees
,
and
understands
the
things
which
are
eternal
,
which
belong
to
his
peace
;
the
Fear
of
God
is
set
up
in
his
heart
,
and
Gods
Secrets
are
revealed
unto
him
,
&
he
is
become
the
Glory
of
his
Maker
,
to
praise
him
,
to
glorifie
him
,
and
to
magnifie
him
for
evermore
,
being
restored
again
unto
God's
Image
,
and
guided
with
his
Power
and
Wisdom
,
and
hath
received
dominion
and
authority
from
his
Maker
,
to
reign
and
rule
over
all
Creatures
,
and
to
be
exercised
in
all
things
to
his
Glory
by
whom
they
were
made
;
he
is
not
in
bondage
to
any
Creature
,
but
in
liberty
over
it
,
and
the
Creatures
are
become
his
Servants
,
and
he
servant
to
his
Maker
,
and
the
Earth
yeilds
its
encrease
unto
man
;
the
Curse
is
removed
,
and
the
Blessing
restored
in
the
Covenant
of
Peace
and
Righteousness
,
where
all
Creatures
come
to
be
injoyed
;
the
covenant
of
Death
and
Hell
being
broken
and
disanulled
,
where
the
curse
stood
,
and
standeth
in
all
the
World
where
the
restorer
of
the
second
Adam
is
not
received
,
who
moveth
by
the
measure
of
his
Power
against
the
evil
in
the
hearts
of
all
men
;
and
he
knocketh
at
the
door
of
the
heart
,
that
he
may
be
received
,
and
come
in
,
and
dwell
with
the
Children
of
men
,
whose
delight
is
with
the
Sons
of
men
;
and
every
one
that
openeth
to
him
,
and
hearkeneth
to
his
Cry
,
who
calls
by
the
Light
,
and
moveth
by
his
Power
,
by
him
they
receive
Life
and
Peace
,
and
Fulness
from
the
Father
;
and
are
raised
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
redeemed
from
under
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
Power
of
the
Creator
;
all
evil
in
the
ground
,
and
in
the
fruits
,
judgment
goes
upon
it
all
,
and
condemnation
:
And
thus
mankind
comes
to
be
restored
again
to
God
his
Maker
,
to
be
the
Children
of
God
,
and
Heirs
of
his
Inheritance
,
and
is
no
more
of
this
World
,
but
redeemed
by
Jesus
Christ
out
of
Kindreds
,
Tongues
,
and
People
,
out
of
respect
of
Time
,
Place
,
Creatures
,
or
Things
,
and
sees
through
all
Creatures
,
to
be
before
the
World
was
,
beyond
all
the
glory
of
this
World
,
to
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
;
and
here
is
the
praising
,
and
singing
,
and
rejoycing
,
the
living
,
and
walking
in
that
Life
which
cannot
change
,
and
in
the
World
of
which
there
is
no
end
;
and
here
a
greater
Glory
is
known
then
the
first
mans
glory
,
a
greater
State
then
that
which
was
overcome
of
the
Devil
,
a
greater
Dominion
then
that
which
was
lost
,
this
Dominion
never
can
have
an
end
;
Death
is
swollowed
up
of
Life
,
all
sorrow
and
anguish
is
swollowed
up
of
rejoycing
;
all
tears
are
wiped
here
,
and
there
is
no
more
sorrow
;
the
quickning
Spirit
is
felt
and
witnessed
,
which
hath
quickened
again
to
God
;
God's
Tabernacle
is
with
men
,
and
his
Dwelling-place
with
the
Children
of
men
,
and
that
is
felt
,
and
seen
,
and
tasted
,
which
was
before
the
World
was
,
before
any
Creature
was
made
;
and
the
whole
World
is
comprehended
,
and
mans
state
in
his
first
Creation
is
here
known
,
what
it
was
;
and
mans
state
in
Transgression
is
also
known
,
what
it
was
;
and
mans
state
restored
again
,
is
also
witnessed
;
and
the
difference
perceived
betwixt
the
first
Adam
,
which
was
overcome
of
the
Devil
,
though
he
was
innocent
and
without
sin
,
and
bore
the
likeness
of
his
Maker
,
and
of
the
second
Adam
,
who
cannot
be
overcome
of
the
Devil
,
whom
Satan
hath
nothing
in
,
who
is
the
express
Image
of
the
Creator
it self
.
He
that
hath
an
ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
;
Eye
hath
not
seen
,
Ear
hath
not
heard
,
it
hath
not
entred
into
the
heart
of
man
that
which
the
Father
hath
revealed
by
his
Spirit
,
things
not
lawful
to
be
uttered
,
of
which
there
is
no
declaring
,
that
which
is
Infinite
,
Endless
,
Eternal
,

in
this
I
shall
end

To

THe
mighty
day
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
according
as
he
promised
of
old
,
and
this
day
is
witnessed
,
wherein
he
is
establishing
his
Mountain
,
and
exalting
it
above
all
Mountains
,
and
is
gathering
his
People
which
have
been
scattered
in
the
dark
and
lo●●
Night
of
Apostacy
,
which
Christ
and
his
Apostles
saw
coming
into
the
Churc●…
then
,
and
hath
had
dominion
long
over
the
World
,
and
hath
reigned
till
now
,
and
reigns
n●●
in
all
the
Professors
in
all
Forms
every
where
.
But
now
the
time
is
come
wherein
the
Kingd●…
of
the
World
are
become
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
his
Christ
;
and
thousands
witness
it
to
the
praise
of
his
everlasting
Name
.
And
therefore
the
Nations
are
angry
,
and
〈◊〉
P●inces
of
the
Earth
,
because
Michael
one
Prince
is
arisen
to
plead
with
all
who
make
〈◊〉
against
him
.
And
now
Herod
and
Pilate
,
and
all
Jerusalem
are
in
an
uproar
,
and
Amm●●
and
Amaleck
,
and
the
Egyptians
,
and
the
Philistines
are
joyned
now
against
him
.
And
all
you
who
live
in
Forms
,
and
know
not
the
Power
,
do
now
persecute
and
joyn
your selves
t●gether
,
being
in
the
same
nature
as
the
Persecutors
of
old
,
which
were
born
after
the
Flesh.
And
now
you
Sons
of
Bondage
,
and
of
Hagar
are
to
be
cast
out
;
and
now
you
are
all
〈◊〉
manifest
that
you
are
in
the
Flesh
;
for
all
your
Bows
are
bent
,
and
all
your
Arrows
are
〈◊〉
at
a
People
which
are
accounted
by
you
as
the
filth
of
the
World
,
and
as
the
off-scouring
of
all
things
,
whom
the
World
calls
Quakers
,
in
whose
foreheads
is
written
the
Name
of
the
living
God
;
and
unto
you
I
say
that
make
war
against
them
,
and
now
take
part
with
the
Drag●●
against
the
Lamb
,
you
shall
all
drink
of
the
Cup
of
Fury
and
indignation
of
the
Lord
,
〈◊〉
unto
the
Living
God
who
is
holy
and
jealous
for
his
own
Glory
and
Name
,
which
hath
manifested
his
Mind
and
Will
by
his
eternal
Spirit
unto
us
,
shall
you
all
bow
and
stoop
.
For
now
the
Lord
hath
rent
the
Vail
of
the
Covering
which
hath
been
spread
over
〈◊〉
the
Nations
in
all
Professions
;
and
you
are
all
seen
by
the
ternal
Eye
which
is
opened
in
thousands
,
even
all
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
▪
who
have
stol●n
and
painted
your selves
with
〈◊〉
●ens
words
.
And
all
your
Images
which
you
have
set
up
,
and
all
your
traditions
from
●en
,
in
which
you
have
walked
,
are
all
seen
to
be
stubble
,
and
●ill
not
abid●
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
.
And
all
your
Churches
which
you
have
gathered
together
by
imitation
from
the
〈◊〉
shall
all
be
scattered
;
and
there
you
all
are
▪
for
you
all
deny
Revelation
,
and
say
it
is
ceased
;
and
so
you
call
the
Letter
the
Light
and
the
Word
:
but
with
that
which
was
before
the
Scripture
you
are
seen
and
judged
,
even
with
that
which
shall
endure
for
ever
.
And
seeing
you
have
cast
reproach
upon
the
Name
of
the
God
of
Hea●●●
and
Earth
whom
we
wor●●ip
,
and
which
you
call
delusion
▪
for
the
truths
sake
are
we
moved
to
lay
open
your
●akedness
,
that
you
may
be
judged
by
that
which
you
say
is
your
rule
.
Here
in
this
Little
Book
thou
who
hast
any
honesty
in
thee
,
or
any
desire
of
truth
,
and
wilt
search
the
Scripture
,
thou
wilt
see
th●●
〈◊〉
the
teachers
of
the
world
in
all
Forms
,
and
all
Professors
ever
cryed
out
(
who
had
but
the
Form
)
against
them
who
had
the
Life
and
Power
,
as
you
all
〈◊〉
now
against
them
who
Worship
God
in
the
Spirit
,
and
have
no
confiden●e
in
the
flesh
:
and
therefore
in
this
following
Disco●rse
which
〈◊〉
written
by
the
same
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
thou
shalt
see
who
are
the
false
Prophets
,
and
who
they
are
that
preach
another
Gospel
,
and
who
they
are
that
deny
the
Scriptures
;
and
thou
mayst
see
when
the
false
Prophets
came
in
,
and
who
they
are
clearly
proved
to
be
,
by
their
own
rules
.
And
all
you
who
call
your selves
Magistrates
and
Christians
,
you
may
see
your selves
to
hold
up
that
which
Christ
,
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
cryed
o●●
against
,
and
Persecute
them
who
stand
in
the
counsel
of
God
,
and
them
th●●
Declare
against
all
the
deceit
,
as
the
Holy
men
of
God
did
:
and
so
you
are
the
beast
which
holds
up
the
false
Prophets
and
those
whom
the
Scripture
declareth
against
.
God
is
arisen
to
d●…
to
pieces
all
them
who
withstand
him
:
and
therefore
come
out
of
Babylon
,
●●d
out
of
all
your
painted
forms
,
and
come
to
own
the
first
Principle
which
will
change
your
mindes
,
even
the
Light
of
Christ
which
he
hath
enlightned
every
one
withal
;
and
by
it
you
shall
see
what
you
are
doing
.
Now
if
you
deny
this
,
you
deny
the
Corner-stone
,
and
you
stumble
and
shall
be
broken
,
and
by
th●●
which
you
call
natural
shall
all
your
Image
of
gold
and
silver
,
and
all
your
mixed
invented
worship
be
dashed
to
pieces
,
and
〈◊〉
for
the
Pit
▪
Therefore
all
be
silent
and
speak
not
evil
of
those
thing●
you
know
not
;
for
now
you
are
all
seen
,
you
who
say
you
are
●●ws
and
are
not
,
but
are
of
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
,
and
your
voice
is
known
,
for
none
is
turned
from
the
evil
of
his
way
;
and
therefore
is
wrath
coming
upon
you
to
the
utmost
.
A
Lover
of
your
Souls

but
am
a
Witness
against
all
your
deceit

F.

WHereas
we
are
accused
by
the
Teachers
and
People
of
this
Generation
,
That
we
are
false
Prophets
,
and
Deceivers
;
and
that
we
deny
the
Christ
which
dyed
at
Jerusalem
;
and
that
we
preach
another
Gospel
then
the
Apostles
preached
;
and
that
we
deny
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
Ordinances
of
Iesus
Christ
;
and
that
we
hold
Free-will
,
and
establish
Self-righteousness
,
and
teach
People
to
act
in
their
own
strength
to
obtain
Life
;
and
that
we
deny
Churches
,
Ministers
,
and
Magistracy
.
To
all
these
false
Accusations
I
Answer
.
It
is
no
new
thing
,
nor
no
strange
thing
to
the
Children
of
Light
,
who
are
separated
from
the
World
,
and
worldly
Worships
;
and
from
the
works
of
Darkness
,
to
be
accused
falsly
,
and
to
be
standered
,
by
being
called
Deceivers
and
Seducers
,
by
the
Generation
of
chief
Priests
and
Pharisees
;
in
which
Generation
are
the
Teachers
and
Professors
of
this
Age
,
who
have
a
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
deny
the
Power
.
Christ
was
called
a
Deceiver
and
a
Blasphemer
;
and
the
Apostles
were
called
Movers
of
Sedition
,
Hereticks
,
and
Turners
of
the
World
up-side
down
▪
by
them
who
professed
in
word
what
Christ
was
in
Substance
,
and
what
the
Apostles
witnessed
,
and
so
it
is
now
.
We
who
are
scornfully
called
Quakers
,
do
live
in
,
and
declare
forth
,
no
other
thing
but
the
Substance
of
what
the
Priests
have
preached
upon
,
and
the
Pofessors
have
talked
upon
in
their
carnal
minds
by
their
imaginations
.
He
is
a
false
Prop●●●
and
a
Deceiver
which
hath
not
the
Word
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
,
but
takes
that
which
the
Lord
spoke
to
Another
,
and
calls
it
his
,
and
us●…
his
Tongue
and
saith
,
The
Lord
saith
it
,
when
the
Lord
never
spake
to
him
:
And
here
are
the
Teachers
of
the
World
themselves
guilty
of
that
whereof
they
fal●●y
accuse
us
;
for
they
take
the
Prophets
words
,
Christs
and
the
Apostles
words
to
talk
upon
,
but
have
not
received
the
Word
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
;
and
their
prophesie
and
preaching
would
soon
be
ended
if
they
had
not
the
Scripture
,
which
is
other
mens
words
,
and
that
which
was
spoken
to
others
,
to
spe●●
their
imaginations
from
:
And
these
are
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
which
run
,
and
are
not
sent
,
which
speak
to
others
,
pretending
they
be
sent
of
God
▪
but
walking
contrary
to
all
that
ever
God
sent
to
declare
his
Name
in
fo●…
Generations
,
and
so
are
known
to
us
by
their
fruits
,
having
no
example
from
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
nor
his
Apostles
for
their
practice
;
but
do
walk
in
the
example
of
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
,
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
of
the
false
Brethren
.
O
foolish
People
which
have
eyes
and
sees
not

which
have
hea●…
and
do
not
understand
:
Is
the
Lord
changed

he
was

Were

Were

through

A●●
are

who
walk

To
●●e
Light
in

Consciences
I
do
speak
,
which
will

the
truth
:
A
sottish
and
ignorant
People
,
which
cannot
discern
who
the
false
Prophets

are

the
Lord
is
the

that
ever
he
was

and
his
Spirit
〈◊〉
no

changed
.
Was
it
once
an
abomination
to
the
Lord
in
the
false
Priests
and
Prophets
of
Israel
,
to
seek
for
their
Gain
from
their

to

Did

Was

We

For
by
the

as
the

did

for
God

his
Spirit

the

ever

what
he

;
and
no
other
Christ
do
we
●●clare
forth
,
which
we
witness
to
be
made
manifest
within
,
but
that
Christ
which
dyed
at
Ierusalem
,
which
suffered
by
the
chief
Priests
and
Elders
of
the
People
;
he
was
and
is
the
true
Christ
,
which
said
,
He
was
the
Light
of
the
World
;
And
was
the
Light
which
had
enlightened
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World

which
said
,
Except
a
man
would
deny
the
World

take
up
his
daily
cross

him

he

and
went
in
long
Robes
,
these
were
Antichrists
,
and
●ere
acted
by
a
contrary
spirit
then
the
true
Christ
.
And
here
again
,
I
charge
all
the
Teachers
and
People
(
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
deny
Christ
to
be
the
Light
in
every
one
,
which
reproves
for
sin
)
and
who
are
called
of
men
Masters
,
and
stand
praying
in
the
〈◊〉
and
go
in
long
●obes
,
and
who
uphold
such
things
,
and
who
take
not
up
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
but
live
at
liberty
in
their
wills
and
desires
,
that
they
are
Antichrists
,
and
that
their
spirit
is
not
the
Spirit
of
the
true
Christ
,
which
dyed
at
Ierusalem
,
but
the
spirit
of
a
false
christ
,
and
so
they
are
guilty
of
that
themselves
,
whereof
they
falsly
accuse
us
▪
and
the
same
Christ
do
we
witness
which
the
Saints
of
old
witnessed
,
whose
blood
cleansed
them
from
all
sin
,
and
in
whose
Power
they
had
power
over
sin
,
death
,
and
hell
.
And
here
again
I
charge
the
Teachers
and
People
,
who
say
,
That
the
Saints
must
not
be
cleansed
from
sin
,
nor
cease
to
commit
sin
while
they
are
on
the
Earth
;
That
the
Christ
which
they
profess
is
not
the
Christ
which
dyed
at
Jerusalem
,
but
a
spirit
contrary
,
and
not
the
Christ
which
the
Saints
witnessed
;
and
all
the
People
are
blind
which
cannot
see
these
things
.
Did
the
true
Christ
once
say
,
He
was
the
Light
of
the
World
,
of
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
?
And
is
that
his
Spirit
in
the
Teachers
and
Pr●…ssors
now
,
which
say
,
Every
man
hath
not
the
Light
of
Christ
in
him
?
Was
that
the
true
Christ
which
said
,
Except
you
take
up
my
Cross
daily
you
cannot
be
my
Disciples
?
And
is
that
his
Spirit
in
the
Teachers
and
People
that
hath
its
liberty
,
and
live
in
Pride
,
in
Lust
,
and
Vanity
▪
and
their
own
Wills
?
was
that
the
true
Christ
which
cryed
wo
against
them
that
were
called
of
men
Masters
,
and
that
had
the
chief
Places
in
the
Assemblies
,
and
stood
praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
&c
,
And
is
that
his
Spirit
in
the
Teachers
and
People
which
act
and
uphold
those
things
:
Was
〈◊〉
the
true
Christ
which
the
Saints
witnessed
,
by
whose
Blood
they
〈◊〉
cle●sed
from
sin
,
and
had
power
over
sin
,
and
is
that
his
Spirit
in
the
Teachers
and
People
,
which
saith
,
The
Saints
must
not
be
cle●sed
from
si●
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
to
c●…t
sin
while
they
are
〈◊〉
Earth
?
Oh
blind
and
ignorant
People
!
who
cannot
discern
between
the
〈◊〉
Christ
and
Antichrist
,
which
is
contrary
to
Christ
,
and
which
leads
now
to
act
and
speak
contrary
to
what
the
true
Christ
once
acted
and
spoke
:
and
no
other
Gospe●
do
we
preach
,
but
that
which
the
Apostles
preached
,
which
they
received
not
fro●
nor
by
man
,
but
by
the
revelation
of
Iesus
Christ
,
which
was
contrary
to
man
,
and
which
suffered
by
man
for
the
preaching
of
it
;
who
preached
to
the
Spi●…
in
Prison
to
redeem
the
captives
,
and
by
which
the
fleshly
man
was
judged
in
the
〈◊〉
that
man
might
live
according
to
God
in
Spirit
;
and
this
Gospl
we
witness
to
have
received
not
from
man
,
but
by
the
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
is
contrary
to
man
,
for
which
we
are
persecuted
and
suffer
by
man
:
neither
do
w●
speak
to
the
wisdom
and
reason
,
but
we
preach
to
the
Spirits
in
Prison
,
that
the
fleshly
man
may
be
judged
in
the
flesh
,
that
man
may
live
according
to
God
〈◊〉
the
Spirit
;
this
will
many
witness
with
us
,
that
by
the
preaching
of
our
Gospe●
liberty
is
brought
to
the
captives
,
and
the
fleshly
man
is
judgest
,
and
the
Spirit
which
was
in
Prison
is
set
free
.
And
here
again
I
charge
the
Teachers
of
this
Generation
,
That
their
gospel
which
they
preach
is
not
the
Gospel
which
the
Saints
preached
,
but
another
gospel
,
and
they
are
guilty
of
that
themselves
whereof
they
falsly
accuse
us
;
for
they
have
received
their
gospel
from
man
,
and
by
man
,
from
the
Printers
a●●
Stationers
,
and
are
made
Minister
of
it
by
the
will
of
man
,
at
Schools
,
and
●niversities
;
and
their
preaching
is
in
the
will
of
man
,
a
limited
time
and
place
neither
do
they
suffer
by
man
,
but
are
set
up
with
man
,
and
feed
the
wisdom
〈◊〉
reason
of
man
;
and
the
fleshly
man
is
not
judged
,
nor
the
captives
redeemed
〈◊〉
their
gospel
,
which
they
preach
;
here
they
are
accursed
which
preach
anot●…
gospel
,
as
saith
the
Scripture
:
And
ye
are
a
blind
and
ignorant
People
which
cannot
see
these
things
;
Did
they
that
preached
the
true
Gospel
receive
it
contrary
to
the
will
of
man
?
and
can
it
now
be
received
by
the
will
of
man
?
Did
they
which
preached
it
suffer
for
it
by
man
?
and
can
they
now
who
preach
it
,
be●…
up
by
man
,
who
live
in
the
same
persecuting
nature
?
Did
the
true
Gospel
o●…
judge
the
fleshly
man
,
)
and
lead
to
live
according
to
God
in
the
Spirit
?
and
do●…
it
now
give
liberty
to
the
fleshly
man
,
to
live
after
the
flesh
in
the
lust
of
it
,
〈◊〉
the
Teachers
and
Professor
of
this
Generation
do
,
who
profess
the
Gospel
,
〈◊〉
are
discovered
not
to
be
come
to
the
Law
?
And
the
Scripture
we
own
to
be
〈◊〉
true
Declaration
of
the
Life
which
they
lived
in
which
spoke
them
●orth
;
and
〈◊〉
the
same
Spirit
from
which
they
were
spoken
(
which
we
have
received
)
do
we
〈◊〉
to
our
seals
,
that
they
are
●rue
;
and
the
Scripture
is
ours
,
who
walk
in
the
Life
〈◊〉
it
;
proud
men
spoke
it
not
forth
,
nor
they
that
sought
for
their
gain
from
the●●
quarter
;
nor
they
that
preached
for
hire
;
nor
they
that
were
called
〈◊〉
men
master
,
but
persecuted
them
that
spoke
it
forth
,
and
denyed
it
when
it
was
spoken
.
And
here
again
,
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
and
Professors
of
this
Generation
,
that
they
deny
the
Scripture
,
and
are
guilty
of
that
themselves
whereof
they
falsly
accuse
us
;
for
they
say
,
None
must
be
perfect
upon
the
Earth
;
when
as
〈◊〉
Scripture
declares
of
such
as
were
perfect
upon
Earth
:
And
they
say
;
None
〈◊〉
be
free
from
sin
;
when
as
the
Scripture
declares
of
such
as
were
free
from
sin
,
and
were
the
Servants
of
Righteousness
:
They
say
,
Christ
hath
not
enlightened
every
〈◊〉
the
Scripture
saith
,
He
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
hath
enlightened
every
one
&c.
can
they
now
who
live
in
the
same
persecuting
nature
,
and
walk
in
the
〈◊〉
steps
as
they
did
which
persecuted
them
who
spoke
forth
the
Scripture
(
as
the
Te●chers
and
People
do
)
own
the
Scripture
in
Truth
?
Their
professing
of
the
Scripture
is
as
theirs
was
,
which
made
a
great
profession
of
it
in
the
outward
appearance
,
but
put
him
to
death
who
had
the
Life
,
and
was
the
Substance
of
it
:
They
then
,
as
the
Teachers
of
the
World
do
now
,
denyed
the
Spirit
and
Life
whic●
gave
sorth
the
Scriptures
.
And
the
Ordinances
of
Jesus
Christ
we
own
and
witness
,
Preaching
,
Praying
,
Baptism
,
Communion
,
Singing
,
and
whatsoever
was
ordained
for
his
Saints
to
practise
in
Life
and
Power
;
we
witness
these
things
in
the
eternal
Substance
,
having
passed
through
the
earthly
figures
,
which
was
but
to
stand
for
its
time
;
by
the
Eternal
have
we
been
led
,
by
the
Command
of
it
within
us
,
and
got
by
tradition
from
the
Scripture
without
us
,
And
we
deny
all
such
who
have
taken
up
these
things
in
their
own
wills
,
by
conforming
the
outward
man
to
the
outward
Letter
,
and
have
not
entred
in
at
the
Door
.
True
Preaching
we
own
,
and
do
witness
,
in
which
is
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
the
Power
God
unto
Salvation
or
Condemnation
,
it
is
foolishness
to
the
World
,
and
its
wisdom
,
now
as
ever
it
was
;
and
we
deny
all
speaking
of
imaginations
from
the
Scripture
,
which
is
in
the
wisdom
of
the
World
,
and
which
stands
in
the
will
of
man
limitted
to
a
set
time
,
day
or
place
.
Prayer
by
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Spirit
we
own
and
witness
,
which
is
not
limitted
to
a
time
and
place
:
And
we
deny
all
the
Worlds
formal
customary
Preaching
and
Praying
for
a
pretence
.
Baptism
we
own
and
witness
,
which
is
,
With
one
Spirit
,
into
one
Body
,
into
the
Death
of
Christ
:
And
we
deny
all
Baptisms
which
are
imagined
and
imitated
,
by
conforming
the
outward
man
to
the
outward
Letter
,
which
is
but
a
likeness
of
the
the
true
Baptism
.
Communion
we
live
in
,
which
is
,
In
the
Light
by
the
Spirit
,
which
will
endure
eternally
:
and
we
deny
the
Worlds
imitation
,
which
is
in
word
and
declaration
,
and
visible
carnal
things
which
will
pass
away
.
Singing
which
is
with
the
Spirit
and
with
Understanding
,
of
the
redeemed
of
the
Lord
,
we
own
and
witness
;
but
the
Worlds
singing
in
Rime
and
Meeter
,
proud
men
singing
,
That
they
are
not
puft
in
mind
;
and
prophane
men
singing
,
That
the
Law
of
God
is
dear
to
them
;
this
singing
we
deny
,
for
it
must
be
turned
into
howling
,
the
Lord
hath
said
it
.
And
here
again
,
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
of
the
World
,
That
they
deny
the
Substance
and
Power
of
what
Christ
commands
his
Saints
to
practice
,
by
upholding
their
own
imitations
,
and
so
deceiving
the
People
;
but
where
the
Substance
is
witnessed
,
the
figure
is
denyed
,
and
the
false
imitations
are
discovered
and
denied
:
And
mans
free-will
we
do
deny
,
for
the
will
of
man
shall
never
enter
to
God
,
but
leads
out
from
God
into
the
lust
,
and
into
the
flesh
,
and
,
keeps
in
the
power
of
the
Devil
;
and
man
hath
free-will
unto
that
which
is
evil
,
but
not
to
that
which
is
good
;
and
all
who
follow
Christ
the
Light
of
the
World
,
must
deny
their
own
wills
,
and
take
up
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
which
is
to
the
will
,
and
walk
in
the
Light
,
contrary
to
the
will
,
in
the
strait
Way
which
leads
unto
Life
,
which
is
out
of
the
will
of
man
,
in
the
Will
of
God
,
which
the
will
of
man
doth
resist
and
oppose
.
And
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
and
Professors
,
who
do
not
witness
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
that
they
live
in
their
own
free-will
,
and
holds
it
up
,
and
are
led
by
it
,
into
pride
,
and
coveteousness
,
and
lusts
of
the
flesh
,
which
stand
in
the
will
;
and
here
they
are
guilty
of
that
themselves
whereof
they
falsly
accuse
us
,
living
in
their
own
free-will
,
and
walk
not
in
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
.
And
Self-righteousness
we
have
denied
,
and
have
seen
it
in
the
same
Light
which
Isaiah
did
,
to
be
as
filthy
Rags
;
and
we
declare
against
it
,
and
against
them
which
live
in
it
;
for
self
must
not
be
saved
,
it
is
accursed
from
God
,
it
is
wholly
unrighteous
(
and
makes
the
best
of
actions
so
)
and
is
,
and
must
be
cast
out
from
God
:
Christ
Jesus
made
manifest
and
revealed
in
us
is
our
Righteousness
,
and
self
is
judged
and
condemned
by
him
,
who
is
made
unto
us
Righteousness
;
neither
do
we
teach
People
to
labour
in
their
own
strength
to
obtain
Life
,
but
do
direct
People
to
the
Light
of
Christ
within
them
,
which
walking
in
,
will
be
strength
to
them
to
lead
them
to
Life
;
the
Light
which
is
of
Christ
,
to
which
we
direct
all
to
wait
in
,
to
be
taught
by
;
it
will
lead
out
of
self-righteousness
,
and
from
under
the
power
of
self
,
to
witness
the
power
of
God
,
to
lead
,
and
to
act
,
and
to
witness
Christ
Jesus
revealed
,
the
Righteousness
of
God
.
And
the
Church
which
is
in
God
,
which
is
the
Body
of
Christ
,
whereof
Christ
is
Head
,
we
witness
,
and
are
members
of
it
,
gathered
and
joyned
by
the
eternal
Spirit
,
and
not
by
tradition
in
the
wisdom
of
man
.
And
we
deny
all
the
Worlds
Churches
,
whereof
they
were
made
members
by
visible
things
without
,
and
gathered
by
traditions
(
and
not
by
the
Spirit
)
whereof
the
Serpent
is
head
(
and
not
Christ
)
and
which
is
the
body
of
antichrist
,
some
of
which
commits
Idolatry
i●
an
Idols-temple
;
and
the
ministry
of
this
church
we
deny
,
for
it
stands
in
〈◊〉
will
of
man
,
and
the
Ministers
of
it
are
such
as
all
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
witnessed
against
:
the
Churches
,
the
Ministry
,
and
the
Ministers
are
contrary
to
God
;
but
the
Ministry
which
is
to
the
Seed
,
which
is
out
of
the
will
of
man
,
we
own
and
witness
,
which
ministers
Life
unto
life
and
Death
unto
death
,
and
divides
the
Word
aright
,
judgment
to
the
fat
and
to
the
strong
,
and
feeds
the
●…gry
,
and
looseth
the
Bars
of
wickedness
,
and
breaks
not
the
bruised
Reed
,
〈◊〉
quencheth
not
the
smoaking
Flax
;
this
Ministry
we
deny
not
,
but
are
Friends
unto
it
;
and
who
are
Ministers
here
,
we
have
union
withal
;
but
proud
men
,
and
such
as
are
called
of
men
Masters
are
cast
out
of
this
Ministry
,
and
are
Mini●…
to
the
body
of
antichrist
,
and
know
not
the
Mystery
of
the
Ministry
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
is
to
the
Spirit
in
Prison
.
Magistrates
and
Magistracy
we
deny
not
,
but
do
give
respect
unto
for
Conscience
sake
;
for
who
bears
the
Sword
of
Justice
,
who
use
their
power
to
be
a
terror
to
the
wicked
,
and
for
the
praise
of
them
that
do
well
,
are
Ministers
of
God
;
and
we
desire
that
there
were
more
Magistracy
here
,
and
that
the
Magistrate
would
more
use
his
power
,
to
be
a
terror
to
Lyars
,
to
Swearers
,
to
Drunkards
,
to
Railers
,
to
false
Accusers
,
and
to
proud
Men
,
and
Oppressors
,
this
〈◊〉
are
Friends
unto
;
but
to
such
as
act
by
their
own
wills
in
corrupt
Laws
,
and
〈◊〉
thereby
violence
to
the
Innocent
,
and
strengthen
the
hands
of
Evil-doers
,
we
cannot
be
subject
,
but
choose
rather
(
then
to
transgress
the
Law
of
God
,
whi●●
is
written
in
our
hearts
,
by
submitting
to
such
mens
wills
and
laws
)
to
suffer
by
the
corrupt
wills
of
men
,
under
corrupt
laws
for
a
moment
.
And
thus
I
have
answered
those
false
Accusations
which
are
cast
upon
us
,
and
〈◊〉
declare
it
to
be
the
same
spirit
in
the
Teachers
and
People
of
this
Generatio●…
which
accuseth
us
,
as
it
was
in
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
which
accused
Chr●…
and
his
Disciple
;
and
this
the
Scripture
witnesseth
unto
;
as
they
did
unto
him
,
〈◊〉
would
they
do
unto
us
.
A
further
Answer
to
that
Accusation
of
being
false
Prophets
,
and
Deceivers
.
JEsus
Christ
prophesied
and
said
,
That
in
the
last
dayes
should
many
false
prophets
arise
,
which
should
deceive
many
,
and
if
it
were
possible
the
very
Elect.
Now
the
Teachers
and
People
of
this
Generation
do
say
,
That
we
(
who
by
the
World
are
called
Quakers
)
are
those
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
which
Christ
prophesied
of
.
Of
this
their
false
accusation
have
they
,
Drunkards
,
Lyars
,
Swearers
,
and
all
the
ungodly
People
in
every
profession
to
witness
them
;
but
their
Accusation
and
their
Witnesses
we
do
deny
,
though
they
preach
it
among
the
People
for
doctrine
.
And
now
in
answer
to
this
false
Accusation
and
Slander
,
I
am
moved
to
write
a
little
,
and
shall
to
that
Principle
of
God
in
every
mans
Conscience
clear
my
Conscience
,
and
declare
what
I
know
from
God
concerning
those
false
Prophets
;
who
they
are
,
when
they
came
in
,
and
how
they
may
be
known
;
and
shall
leave
it
to
every
honest
heart
to
consider
of
,
The
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
saw
the
same
false
Prophets
which
Christ
prophesied
of
to
be
come
,
and
coming
in
their
dayes
,
before
a
Quaker
wa●
heard
of
:
Iohn
said
,
By
that
they
knew
that
it
was
the
last
time
:
for
,
said
he
,
Even
now
are
there
many
Antichrists
and
false
Prophets
gone
out
into
the
World
;
such
wer●
they
who
confessed
not
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
;
and
they
were
of
the
World
,
and
spoke
of
the
World
,
and
the
World
heard
them
.
Now
here
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
of
the
World
,
that
they
are
of
that
Generation
which
went
out
into
the
World
then
;
for
as
they
then
confessed
not
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
,
so
these
uphold
those
things
which
were
under
the
Law
,
which
was
before
Christ
came
in
the
Flesh
outwardly
;
and
so
confess
Christ
not
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
,
and
so
they
are
Antichrist
▪
They
uphold
an
outward
Temple
,
and
an
outward
Worship
,
and
take
tythes
,
as
the
Priests
under
the
Law
did
,
as
a
Type
and
Figure
of
Christ
,
but
when
he
was
come
,
and
sacrificed
,
these
things
(
which
were
to
stand
for
a
time
)
were
put
to
an
end
:
and
none
who
witnessed
Christ
come
,
and
were
sent
by
him
to
preach
the
Gospel
,
did
uphold
those
things
,
but
witnessed
forth
the
Substance
,
and
denied
the
figure
;
they
denied
the
outward
Temple
,
and
witnessed
they
were
the
Temples
of
God
,
and
that
God
dwelt
in
them
,
and
denied
the
outward
worship
,
and
witnessed
the
Worship
of
God
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
within
them
,
(
for
they
who
worshipped
without
,
worshipped
they
knew
not
what
,
as
they
do
now
)
and
they
denied
to
take
Tythes
,
but
lived
of
the
Gospel
;
and
said
,
They
that
preached
it
,
should
live
of
it
;
but
the
Teachers
of
this
Generation
are
of
the
World
,
living
in
its
pride
,
lusts
and
vanities
;
and
they
who
live
in
the
same
worldly
nature
uphold
them
,
and
hear
them
.
Iohn
also
said
,
Every
spirit
that
confesseth
not
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
,
is
Antichrist
.
And
here
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
of
the
World
,
that
their
Spirit
of
Pride
and
Covetousness
,
and
Envy
,
and
Hypocrisie
which
rules
in
them
,
is
the
Spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
confesseth
not
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
;
for
where
he
is
made
manifest
,
and
come
in
the
Flesh
,
this
spirit
is
destroyed
;
For
,
(
as
saith
the
Scripture
)
he
was
made
manifest
to
destroy
the
works
of
the
Devil
.
Paul
was
also
a
Witness
of
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
which
Christ
prophesied
of
in
his
time
;
for
he
gave
warning
to
beware
of
such
,
and
to
turn
away
from
such
whom
he
saw
then
come
,
and
coming
in
,
but
came
more
fully
in
after
his
dayes
;
he
said
of
this
sort
,
They
were
lovers
of
themselves
,
covetous
,
proud
,
heady
,
high-minded
,
fierce
men
and
dispisers
of
those
that
were
good
,
given
to
filthy
lucre
,
and
to
pleasure
,
and
were
false-Accusers
,
and
Blasphemers
,
and
without
natural
affection
,
and
unthankfull
,
and
unholy
,
and
taught
silly
women
,
who
were
led
with
divers
lusts
,
but
were
not
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
their
Teaching
:
they
were
men
of
corrupt
minds
,
and
reprobat●
concerning
Faith
.
And
here
again
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
of
the
World
,
that
they
are
of
that
Generation
which
came
in
then
;
for
they
are
Lovers
of
themselves
,
they
take
money
of
poor
people
,
to
whom
they
are
more
able
to
give
;
and
they
are
proud
and
covetous
men
,
that
go
in
their
Ribbons
and
Cuffs
,
and
gaudy
attire
;
and
they
preach
to
them
where
they
can
get
most
money
;
and
some
takes
money
of
them
,
and
sues
them
at
the
Law
,
to
whom
they
preach
not
at
all
:
they
are
heady
and
high-minded
men
,
for
poor
people
bow
to
them
in
the
Streets
,
and
call
them
Masters
:
They
are
fierce
men
,
and
dispise
those
that
are
good
;
if
any
speak
against
them
,
(
of
the
truth
)
they
are
fierce
against
,
and
despise
such
:
and
they
are
given
to
filthy
lucre
,
and
are
lovers
of
pleasure
,
for
where
they
can
have
most
money
,
there
they
will
abide
;
and
they
live
in
pleasure
,
in
idleness
,
and
lust
and
vanity
;
they
are
flase-Accusers
,
they
will
call
them
Deceivers
,
which
are
not
;
and
that
Blasphemy
,
which
is
not
;
and
they
are
Blasphemers
,
and
without
natural
affection
.
They
say
the
Letter
is
the
Word
,
and
the
Scripture
the
Light
,
which
is
contrary
to
Scripture
,
for
God
is
the
Word
,
and
Christ
is
the
Light
;
and
they
will
suffer
the
rude
multitude
,
and
some
will
set
them
upon
it
,
to
hale
,
beat
,
and
strike
out
of
their
Assemblies
,
which
is
without
natural
affection
:
They
are
unthankful
and
unholy
;
they
have
great
sums
of
money
from
the
people
,
and
are
not
thankful
,
but
compel
them
by
a
Law
to
pay
them
;
and
herein
they
are
unholy
by
their
actions
which
are
declared
,
which
is
oppression
;
and
they
teach
always
,
but
men
and
women
are
ignorant
still
,
and
none
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
them
;
and
they
have
a
Form
of
godliness
;
they
profess
the
Scriptures
,
That
the
Children
of
the
Lord
are
to
be
taught
of
the
Lord
;
and
that
Christ
said
,
Take
no
thought
what
to
eat
,
nor
what
to
drink
,
nor
wherewith
to
be
cloathed
;
but
who
witness
themselves
taught
of
God
,
and
that
they
need
no
man
to
teach
them
;
and
that
take
no
care
what
to
eat
,
nor
what
to
drink
,
nor
what
to
put
on
,
and
so
witness
the
promise
of
God
,
and
abide
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
these
you
call
Deceivers
,
and
idle
and
careless
persons
,
and
thus
deny
the
power
of
what
they
have
professed
;
and
herein
their
minds
are
corrupt
and
reprobate
concerning
Fa●…ith
for
Faith
is
the
Substance
,
and
purifies
the
heart
from
these
things
which
they
are
guilty
of
.
And
Peter
and
Iude
also
were
Witnesses
of
those
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
which
Christ
prophesied
of
,
in
their
time
;
for
they
saw
such
were
come
,
and
coming
,
which
should
bring
in
damnable
Heresies
,
and
through
covetousness
,
with
feigned
words
,
make
merchandise
of
the
people
;
they
walk
after
the
flesh
,
in
the
lust
of
uncleanness
,
and
despise
Government
and
Dominion
;
presumptuous
are
they
,
self-willed
,
they
are
not
afraid
to
speak
evil
of
Dignities
;
they
speak
evil
of
things
that
they
understand
not
;
they
have
eyes
full
of
adultery
,
and
they
cannot
cease
from
sin
,
beguiling
unstable
Souls
;
an
heart
they
have
,
exercised
with
covetous
practises
;
cursed
Children
,
which
have
forsaken
the
right
way
,
and
are
gone
astray
,
following
the
way
of
Balaam
,
who
loved
the
Wages
of
unrighteousness
,
they
themselves
are
the
Servants
of
corruption
;
ungodly
men
,
turning
the
Grace
of
God
into
laciviousness
,
and
defile
the
flesh
;
these
are
Murmurers
,
Complainers
,
walking
after
their
own
lusts
,
and
their
mouthes
speak
great
swelling
words
,
having
mens
persons
in
admiration
because
of
advantage
;
these
be
they
who
separate
themselves
,
sensual
,
having
not
the
Spirit
.
And
here
again
I
charge
it
upon
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
that
they
are
of
that
Generation
which
came
into
the
World
then
;
for
they
have
brought
in
,
and
do
uphold
damnable
Heresies
,
telling
people
,
That
sprinkling
Infants
with
water
is
the
Baptism
into
the
Faith
;
and
that
singing
David's
Experiences
in
Rime
and
Meeter
,
is
singing
to
the
glory
of
God
;
and
that
a
House
of
Stone
is
the
Temple
and
Church
of
God
;
these
are
damnable
Heresies
:
and
they
do
through
covetousness
make
Merchandise
of
the
people
;
if
they
can
get
more
money
at
another
place
,
thither
they
will
go
;
and
thus
people
are
their
Merchandise
:
they
wal●
after
the
flesh
,
in
the
lusts
of
uncleanness
;
they
walk
in
pride
and
in
lust
;
and
some
of
them
will
be
drunk
,
and
lye
,
and
swear
,
and
talk
uncleanly
;
and
they
despise
the
Saints
Government
and
Dominion
(
for
they
walk
in
the
wayes
of
the
World
,
in
the
Customs
and
Traditions
of
men
,
and
follow
their
own
wills
)
and
whom
the
Spirit
of
God
governs
,
and
hath
dominion
over
,
follows
Christ
for
their
Example
,
whose
Government
and
Dominion
they
are
under
;
but
they
live
in
pride
,
lust
and
vanity
,
and
according
to
the
flesh
;
and
herein
they
despi●●
Government
and
Dominion
,
and
speak
evil
of
this
Dignity
,
and
of
the
Mysteries
of
God
revealed
in
his
Saints
,
which
they
know
not
,
nor
understand
not
,
calling
it
Error
:
They
are
presumptuous
and
self-willed
;
they
have
presumed
to
call
themselves
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
all
the
Towns
where
they
live
,
must
serve
,
and
be
subject
to
their
wills
;
and
they
are
adulterated
from
God
after
honour
and
riches
,
and
the
vanities
of
the
World
;
and
they
cannot
cease
from
sin
themselves
;
for
they
say
,
None
must
cease
from
it
while
they
are
on
the
Earth
;
and
herein
they
beguile
many
Souls
;
for
,
till
sin
be
ceased
from
the
Soul
,
it
is
beguiled
;
they
have
a
heart
exercised
with
covetous
practises
,
and
they
follow
the
way
of
Balaam
,
and
go
for
gifts
and
rewards
,
and
love
the
wages
of
unrighteousness
:
they
take
money
of
poor
people
for
sprinkling
Infants
,
and
for
burying
the
Dead
,
which
are
covetous
practises
:
they
take
money
for
Hens
and
Eggs
,
and
for
Smoke
passing
up
the
Chimney
,
which
are
unrighteous
Wages
:
and
thus
they
have
forsaken
the
right
Way
of
God
,
and
of
all
the
Saints
which
spoke
forth
the
Scripture
;
and
in
these
things
they
are
Servants
of
corruption
,
and
are
ungodly
men
,
and
turn
the
Grace
of
God
(
which
shines
in
their
Consciences
,
which
shews
them
their
ungodly
wayes
)
into
laciviousness
;
and
through
the
lust
they
defile
the
flesh
:
and
many
of
them
will
murmur
and
complain
for
want
of
Wages
,
even
to
spend
upon
their
lusts
;
and
they
speak
great
swelling
words
,
speaking
of
the
fame
of
Christ
,
of
his
Life
and
Death
,
and
Resurrection
,
but
cannot
witness
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
within
them
,
what
they
speak
of
him
;
and
they
have
mens
persons
in
admiration
because
of
advantage
;
some
of
them
had
the
Bishops
in
admiration
,
and
some
the
King
in
admiration
,
and
now
they
have
others
who
bear
rule
in
admiration
;
and
thus
they
deceitfully
have
twined
to
admire
mens
persons
,
only
because
of
advantage
;
many
of
them
have
separated
themselves
,
none
who
are
not
of
their
Judgment
must
joyn
with
them
in
their
worship
;
but
●●ither
they
,
nor
their
Separates
have
the
Spirit
of
the
Living
God
,
but
do
deny
〈◊〉
infallible
Spirit
;
and
they
are
sensual
in
their
wayes
,
practises
and
wisdom
●●d
these
have
deceived
many
,
even
whole
Nations
.
And
here
you
see
plainly
when
the
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
came
in
;
they
were
come
,
and
coming
in
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
then
was
the
Prophesie
of
Christ
fulfilling
and
fulfilled
:
and
the
Apostle
suffered
under
Tyrants
,
and
were
put
to
cruel
deaths
,
and
then
they
came
in
more
fully
;
for
since
the
Apostles
days
hath
been
a
great
Apostacy
,
and
many
Forms
of
Worship
,
and
Wayes
of
Religion
have
been
imitated
from
the
Letter
through
imaginations
,
and
but
one
Generation
of
Teachers
,
though
one
above
another
,
in
the
comprehension
&
sensual
wisdom
,
and
at
enmity
one
against
another
,
though
all
in
one
birth
and
nature
.
But
they
are
all
discovered
by
the
Light
,
Praises
(
from
all
that
know
God
)
to
him
for
ever
.
Since
the
Apostles
dayes
hath
darkness
been
spread
over
all
,
though
the
Lord
had
some
which
he
preserved
for
himself
in
the
midst
of
Apostacy
and
darkness
;
who
the
false
Prophets
are
which
Christ
prophesied
of
,
to
every
honest
heart
and
single
eye
may
be
known
:
Christ
said
,
By
their
fruits
should
they
be
known
;
and
the
Fruits
of
the
Teachers
of
the
World
are
plainly
made
appear
to
be
the
fruits
of
Deceivers
,
and
not
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
;
none
have
gathered
Grapes
nor
Figs
from
them
.
And
thus
I
have
cleared
my
Conscience
in
the
Presence
of
God
concerning
the
false
Slander
and
Accusation
which
the
Teachers
and
People
of
the
world
do
cast
upon
us
;
and
to
that
in
every
ones
Conscience
it
is
made
appear
,
who
they
are
to
whom
this
Accusation
justly
belongs
.
Wo
unto
all
you
who
strive
against
the
Lord
,
and
justifie
that
which
the
holy
men
of
God
,
(
which
spake
forth
the
Scripture
)
in
the
Scripture
declared
against
;
and
which
condemn
that
which
the
holy
men
of
God
in
the
Scriptures
justified
,
and
witnessed
for
:
You
who
live
in
Pride
,
in
Coveteousness
,
in
Double-dealing
,
and
in
Hypocrisie
,
and
in
the
Lusts
of
the
flesh
;
you
strive
against
the
Lord
God
,
and
against
the
Light
of
God
,
which
is
in
your
Consciences
,
which
shews
you
these
things
to
be
sin
:
You
resist
the
drawings
of
the
Father
,
which
would
draw
you
by
the
Light
to
follow
the
Son
.
Wo
and
Desolation
is
to
come
upon
all
you
who
will
not
be
taught
by
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
which
he
hath
enlightened
you
withal
;
which
Light
all
the
Holy
men
of
God
were
taught
by
,
who
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
but
do
set
up
Teachers
without
you
,
such
as
all
the
holy
men
of
God
,
the
Prophets
,
Christ
and
his
Apostles
declared
against
.
Oh
blinded
,
stiff-necked
People
,
which
are
not
ashamed
to
call
such
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
Gospel
(
and
by
your
corrupt
Wills
and
Laws
to
defend
them
)
which
seek
for
their
gain
from
their
quarter
,
and
which
feed
themselves
with
the
Fat
,
and
clothe
themselves
with
the
Wooll
;
and
which
preach
for
Hire
and
divine
for
Money
;
and
prepare
War
against
them
that
put
not
into
their
mouthes
:
here
you
justifie
such
as
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord
were
sent
to
cry
against
,
and
deny
Isaiah
,
Ezekiel
,
and
Micah
,
to
be
true
Prophets
;
for
if
you
did
believe
that
they
spoke
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
,
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
understood
what
they
spoke
,
then
would
you
not
uphold
them
which
act
those
things
which
they
declared
against
;
for
that
which
was
abomination
to
the
Lord
then
,
is
abomination
to
him
now
;
and
that
Spirit
which
declared
against
these
things
then
,
cannot
uphold
them
now
.
And
here
the
Teachers
and
People
are
tryed
,
not
to
have
the
same
Spirit
which
was
in
the
holy
Prophets
of
the
Lord
,
but
the
spirit
of
the
false
Prophets
,
acting
by
it
that
which
they
acted
,
which
the
true
Prophets
cryed
against
;
and
thus
by
upholding
that
which
the
Lord
sent
his
Servants
to
declare
against
,
you
strive
against
the
Lord
,
ye
Magistrates
and
People
.
And
you
are
not
ashamed
to
call
such
Ministers
of
Christ
which
(
walk
in
the
same
steps
,
and
that
act
those
things
that
they
did
,
which
Christ
,
cryed
wo
against
)
are
called
of
men
Masters
,
and
have
the
chief
Places
in
the
Assemblies
,
and
stand
praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
and
go
in
long
Robes
,
and
love
greetings
in
the
Markets
,
as
they
did
:
here
you
justifie
such
as
Christ
cryed
wo
against
,
and
deny
that
Christ
spoke
the
Truth
,
what
was
the
Mind
of
his
Father
,
or
understood
it
not
;
for
if
you
did
believe
that
he
spoke
the
will
of
his
Father
,
then
would
ye
not
uphold
these
that
act
the
same
things
which
he
cryed
wo
against
;
And
he
changes
not
;
that
which
he
once
cryed
against
,
the
same
spirit
where
it
is
witnessed
,
cries
against
the
same
things
.
And
here
again
the
Teachers
of
the
World
are
tryed
,
not
to
have
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
the
Spirit
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
who
act
that
which
they
acted
,
which
he
cryed
wo
against
:
And
herein
Magistrates
and
People
strive
against
the
Lord
God
,
by
upholding
that
which
Christ
cryed
wo
astainst
;
and
such
who
are
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
walk
in
his
doctrine
,
and
in
the
same
steps
which
he
and
his
Apostles
walked
in
,
witnessing
for
that
which
they
witnessed
for
,
and
against
that
which
they
witnessed
against
;
them
you
call
Deceivers
,
and
false
Prophets
,
and
accuse
them
for
Vagabonds
,
and
wandring
Beggars
,
and
idle
and
careless
Persons
;
and
that
they
have
left
their
Families
,
and
carelesly
wander
up
and
down
.
And
herein
you
Magistrates
and
People
strive
against
the
Lord
,
by
persecuting
,
and
slandering
,
and
false
accusing
,
and
condemning
such
as
the
Scripture
justifies
,
and
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
which
spoke
forth
the
Scripture
do
witness
of
to
be
true
.
What
would
you
have
called
Christ
,
who
had
no
where
to
lay
his
head
?
He
was
no
vagabond
,
nor
idle
,
nor
careless
Person
.
And
what
would
you
have
called
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
?
who
had
left
their
Families
and
Callings
,
and
went
up
and
down
,
and
had
no
certain
dweling
Place
,
but
went
from
City
to
City
,
and
cared
not
for
the
World
;
nor
what
to
eat
,
nor
what
to
drink
,
nor
wherewith
to
be
clothed
;
this
they
did
,
and
yet
were
no
Vagabonds
,
nor
idle
,
nor
careless
Persons
,
but
abode
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
:
they
were
hated
by
your
Generation
,
as
we
are
now
by
you
;
and
they
were
called
,
Pestilent
Fellows
,
and
Movers
of
Sedition
,
and
Heriticks
,
and
men
of
erronious
Iudgments
:
And
they
said
,
They
were
Troublers
of
their
Cities
,
as
you
do
now
call
us
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
I
do
declare
this
Generation
to
be
the
same
which
persecuted
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
his
Apostles
,
as
it
doth
persecute
us
;
for
by
the
same
Power
we
stand
,
as
they
did
,
and
by
the
same
Power
we
are
commanded
and
acted
,
as
they
were
.
And
to
the
Power
by
which
we
stand
,
and
are
commanded
,
shall
all
the
power
of
men
,
and
of
the
Earth
bow
,
and
be
subject
.
O
all
you
Magistrates
and
People
,
consider
of
your
blindness
and
ignorance
,
who
do
absolutely
justifie
and
uphold
such
as
the
Scripture
declares
and
witnesses
against
,
and
do
condemn
and
persecute
such
as
the
Scripture
justifies
and
witnesses
of
,
and
do
put
them
out
of
your
Synagogues
,
and
Villages
:
Search
the
Prophets
,
and
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
Writings
,
in
them
you
may
read
your
Example
,
and
our
Example
.
In
Jeremiah
20.
You
may
read
how
Pashur
the
chief
Governour
,
when
he
had
heard
what
Jeremiah
had
said
,
smot
him
,
and
put
him
in
the
Prison
,
and
in
the
stocks
,
and
dealt
wickedly
with
him
:
Now
Jeremiah
is
our
example
,
who
had
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
spake
freely
;
sometimes
in
the
streets
,
and
in
the
Gate
of
the
Lords
House
,
and
feared
no
mans
face
,
but
prophesied
against
the
Priests
and
false
Prophets
,
which
used
their
Tongue
,
and
had
not
the
Word
from
the
Lord
,
but
was
given
to
lightness
and
covetousness
:
And
Pashur
,
who
smote
him
,
and
put
him
in
the
Prison
,
is
your
example
,
whose
measure
of
wickedness
you
fulfil
,
in
doing
as
he
did
;
and
by
your
oppressions
is
the
sufferings
and
reproaches
of
Jeremiah
fulfilled
in
us
,
who
is
made
a
derision
daily
,
and
a
scorn
to
the
wicked
,
since
we
spake
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
as
Jeremiah
was
in
that
Generation
of
Evil-doers
,
who
is
your
example
:
Also
in
Amos
7.
you
may
read
how
Amaziah
the
Kings
Priest
sent
to
the
King
of
Israel
,
and
they
conspired
against
him
;
and
Amaziah
forbad
Amos
to
prophesie
any
more
at
Bethel
,
for
it
is
the
Kings
Chappel
,
and
the
Kings
Court
;
and
said
he
,
The
Land
is
not
able
to
bear
his
words
.
Now
herein
Amaziah
the
Priest
,
and
Jeroboam
the
King
,
who
were
both
Persecuters
,
is
your
example
,
who
takes
Counsel
against
the
Innocent
,
and
thrusts
out
of
your
Countries
,
and
Cities
,
and
Towns
,
and
makes
Laws
against
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
and
forbids
us
to
speak
any
more
in
your
Courts
or
Chappels
,
and
beats
,
and
persecutes
us
,
and
do
say
,
The
Land
is
not
able
to
bear
such
things
as
are
spoken
and
written
by
us
:
And
Amos
,
who
was
no
Prophet
,
nor
Prophets
Son
,
but
a
poor
labouring
man
is
our
example
,
who
was
innocent
,
and
spake
the
Word
of
the
Lord
against
the
Songs
of
the
Temples
,
in
the
Chappel
and
in
the
Kings
Court
;
and
his
example
doth
witness
to
our
practises
,
as
the
example
of
the
Wicked
in
their
wickedness
,
do
witness
your
practice
,
whom
you
succeed
in
oppression
.
And
also
you
may
read
through
the
Scriptures
,
how
the
children
of
God
,
who
were
called
of
him
,
were
hated
and
persecuted
by
the
seed
of
Evil-doers
,
they
slew
the
Prophets
,
and
persecuted
them
that
were
sent
unto
them
:
David
was
a
Scorn
,
and
a
Reproach
,
and
a
Hissing
to
his
Enemies
;
and
Job
was
mocked
of
his
Friends
,
and
counted
a
Mad-man
;
and
many
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
suffered
cruel
deaths
under
the
Hands
of
the
Oppressor
:
and
they
that
were
Sufferers
,
and
were
mocked
,
scorned
,
and
persecuted
,
are
our
Example
;
and
the
Mockers
and
Persecutors
are
your
example
:
Christ
and
the
Apostles
in
their
time
were
S●fferers
;
and
you
may
read
how
Herod
and
Pilate
,
and
the
Officers
,
and
chief
Priests
caused
Christ
to
suffer
unjustly
,
by
Imprisonments
,
and
Scourgings
,
and
Sufferings
,
and
reviling●
,
though
no
evil
could
be
justly
laid
to
his
charge
;
and
he
is
our
Example
in
the
like
things
,
and
as
they
did
unto
him
,
so
you
do
unto
us
,
as
being
of
the
same
Seed
,
and
th●●
he
●aid
:
And
Herod
,
and
the
cruel
Officers
,
and
chief
Priests
are
your
example
,
of
whose
seed
you
are
brought
forth
,
fulfilling
their
measure
of
wickedness
and
cruelty
,
in
this
your
day
and
time
,
and
oppressing
the
just
with
cruel
bonds
of
iniquity
.
And
you
may
read
how
the
Apostles
were
persecuted
through
the
whole
Book
of
Acts
,
and
put
out
of
their
Towns
,
and
Stoned
(
some
unto
death
)
and
were
forbid
to
speak
any
more
in
the
Name
of
Iesus
,
and
were
thought
to
be
men
not
worthy
to
live
upon
the
Earth
,
were
called
,
Pestilent
Fellows
,
and
Movers
of
Sedition
,
and
Turners
of
the
World
upside
down
;
and
these
were
our
example
,
who
had
left
their
Callings
,
Countries
,
and
Relations
,
and
gave
themselves
to
be
spent
for
the
Lord's
sake
,
and
declared
against
the
false
ministry
,
which
preached
for
Hire
,
and
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
;
and
against
them
that
had
the
form
of
Godliness
,
but
not
the
Power
;
and
went
into
the
Idol
Temples
,
and
declared
against
them
,
and
against
their
outward
traditional
worships
:
In
these
things
and
many
more
,
we
follow
them
as
an
Example
,
even
as
you
follow
the
wicked
in
their
cruelty
and
oppression
,
Nero
,
and
Festus
,
and
Caesar
,
and
such
like
,
who
were
Enemies
unto
God
,
as
you
are
,
and
brought
forth
the
same
works
as
you
do
,
being
of
the
same
nature
,
and
following
their
example
;
so
that
now
as
ever
,
He
who
is
born
of
the
flesh
persecutes
him
that
is
born
after
the
Spirit
:
And
the
wisdom
of
this
World
is
enmity
against
God
,
and
cannot
receive
the
things
of
God's
Kingdom
:
Therefore
repent
,
when
you
have
read
your
example
of
wickedness
,
then
read
your
example
in
the
cursed
end
of
wrath
from
the
Lord
God
,
which
came
upon
the
Persecutors
of
old
,
as
it
will
come
upon
you
.
The
Vengeance
of
God
you
cannot
flee
,
his
fierce
Wrath
will
come
upon
you
,
and
Weeping
,
and
Howling
,
and
Lamentation
,
and
Misery
will
be
your
Portion
.
O
tremble
to
think
●pon
your
ignorance
;
To
what
purpose
have
you
made
a
profession
of
the
Scriptures
,
who
●…tifie
those
things
,
and
those
men
which
it
plainly
declares
against
;
and
condemns
those
practices
and
those
men
which
it
plainly
witnesseth
of
?
Repent
,
and
take
warning
betime
,
before
the
Decree
of
the
Lord
of
Host
be
sealed
against
you
;
for
I
have
cleared
my
Conscience
,
in
letting
you
see
your
own
ignorance
and
blindness
,
ye
Magistates
and
People
:
And
thus
you

left
without

whether
you

or
forbear

HOw
long
ye

will
ye
prey
upon

How
long
shall
the
Righteous
be

ye

The
just
One
(
against
whom
yo●
Bow
is
bent
)
cryes
for
Vengeance
against
you
in
the
ears
of
the
Lor●
yet
you
strengthen
your
hands
in
iniquity
,
and
gird
your selves
with
the
zeal
〈◊〉
Madness
,
and
Fury
;
you
think
to
swallow
up
the
Harmless
,
and
to
blot
out
t●…
Name
of
the
Righteous
,
that
his
Generation
may
not
be
found
on
Earth
:
Y●…
shoot
your
Arrows
of
cruelty
,
even
bitter
words
,
and
makes
the
Innocent
your
Mark
to
prey
upon
:
You
dispise
the
Way
of
Uprightness
;
and
Simplicity
,
and
the
path
of
craft
and
subtilty
you
tread
;
your
Dens
are
in
Darkness
,
and
your
mischief
is
hatched
upon
your
beds
of
secret
whoredoms
.
When
will
you
cease
to
grind
the
face
of
the
Poor
,
and
to
oppress
the
Humble
,
upon
whom
you
tread
in
your
vain
glories
,
and
outward
shews
of
Holiness
,
as
though
you
were
the
blessed
People
?
And
you
are
exalted
above
Innocency
in
your
feigned
Hypocrisie
,
and
subtilty
,
and
yet
are
found
out
with
the
searching
Eye
of
the
Lord
,
who
knows
your
thoughts
afar
off
to
be
wicked
,
and
your
purposes
to
be
vain
;
and
as
with
a
Whirle-wind
will
he
scatter
you
,
and
your
name
shall
rot
,
and
your
memorial
shall
not
be
found
;
and
the
deeper
you
have
digged
the
Pit
for
another
,
the
greater
will
be
your
own
fall
,
and
the
more
miserable
your
desolation
,
which
comes
upon
you
suddenly
,
in
a
day
you
expect
not
:
How
are
the
Innocent
,
and
he
that
is
departed
from
iniquity
become
the
Table-talk
of
the
Prophane
,
and
the
Song
of
Drunkards
?
And
how
are
we
become
the
study-work
of
the
Wise
,
and
of
the
Learned
,
and
their
subject
of
wicked
doctrines
:
Surely
the
Diviner
is
gone
mad
,
and
the
Wise-men
are
become
Fools
,
and
the
heart
of
the
Disobedient
is
set
to
do
evil
;
but
the
Lord
taketh
our
part
against
our
Enemies
,
and
therefore
are
we
preserved
,
and
our
Enemies
shall
be
confounded
,
and
Lyars
and
Slanderers
shall
fall
together
,
and
the
Innocency
of
the
Innocent
shall
shine
in
its
Beauty
,
and
the
vails
of
Reproaches
,
and
Slanders
,
and
false
Accusations
shall
be
clean
removed
in
the
day
of
our
God
;
and
for
a
moment
we
are
willing
to
submit
under
the
present
suffering
,
by
slanderous
tongues
,
that
we
may
reign
for
ever
.
It
is
not
unknown
to
many
,
how
that
in
this
day
wherein
the
Lord
hath
made
known
his
Power
,
to
the
gathering
of
his
People
,
and
to
the
bringing
forth
of
his
own
Seed
to
inherit
the
Land
of
Peace
;
how
that
the
powers
of
Darkness
,
and
the
strength
of
Hell
is
risen
,
and
joyned
in
a
body
to
make
war
against
the
Lord
,
and
to
prevent
his
purpose
;
and
men
are
sorely
disquieted
,
and
all
is
on
an
uproar
,
and
to
defend
themselves
they
are
come
forth
,
to
vindicate
their
interest
in
the
region
of
Darkness
do
they
appear
;
and
because
their
Kingdom
is
deeply
invaded
with
the
face
of
a
deadly
Enemy
,
therefore
they
have
put
on
their
strength
,
and
fortified
themselves
,
and
shewed
their
strength
and
force
under
several
colours
;
some
in
open
Persecution
,
Imprisonments
,
and
Beatings
,
and
cruel
Oppressions
,
and
some
in
Scorning
,
and
Back-biting
,
and
open
Lying
,
and
Slandering
;
and
others
appear
in
the
Garments
of
deep
dyed
Hypocrisie
,
and
Smite
secretly
,
and
Shoot
in
the
Twilight
,
between
Profession
and
Prophaness
,
and
forge
secret
Slanders
,
and
Lyes
,
and
seek
the
Life
of
the
just
One
:
And
thus
poor
desolate
Zion
is
compassed
about
with
Enemies
,
and
they
lay
siege
against
her
,
to
make
her
an
utter
destruction
(
How
long
Lord
,
how
long
?
hear
and
consider
.
)
And
Iohn
Bunyan
,
and
his
Fellow
,
who
have
joyned
themselves
to
the
broken
Army
of
Magog
.
Now
in
the
heat
of
the
day
of
great
striving
are
not
the
least
of
all
guilty
among
their
Bretheren
,
of
secret
smiting
the
Innocent
,
with
secret
Lyes
and
Slanders
;
who
have
shewed
themselves
in
defence
of
the
Dragon
against
the
Lamb
,
in
this
day
of
war
betwixt
them
:
And
though
some
of
their
Party
,
which
have
shewed
themselves
before
in
the
open
Field
have
come
off
with
loss
and
shame
,
and
disadvantage
;
yet
needs
must
the
rest
appear
till
they
have
filled
up
their
measure
of
wickedness
,
and
so
be
made
a
perpetual
curse
for
ever
:
and
they
must
spend
their
strength
till
shame
and
confusion
overtake
them
,
and
they
be
left
without
hope
or
stay
,
in
the
ditch
of
deep
perdition
,
never
more
to
rise
up
again
.
Friends
I
have
viewed
your
discourse
,
and
numbred
up
part
of
your
work
,
and
this
is
the
sume
thereof
,
A
corrupted
Grain
of
little
value
of
Babylons
Treasure
,
and
if
a
Merchant
of
your
traffique
gain
it
,
he
cannot
be
the
richer
,
yet
doth
your
King
(
the
Prince
of
Darkness
)
accept
your
labour
,
and
your
substance
;
for
had
you
been
more
learned
in
his
subtilty
,
and
more
stockt
in
his
craft
,
a
larger
portion
;
and
more
to
the
purpose
might
have
been
brought
in
,
but
with
such
as
you
had
,
or
could
procure
,
from
your
Neighbours
are
you
come
,
and
have
gained
a
report
,
and
a
name
in
the
record
of
Mischief
against
the
Lamb
,
and
his
Followers
,
whom
you
have
made
your
subject
to
treat
Lyes
upon
.
And
for
the
sake
of
the
Simple
I
have
taken
in
hand
to
return
a
few
words
in
answer
to
you
,
in
those
things
(
at
least
)
wherein
you
mention
the
Quakers
;
who
being
falsly
accused
,
and
slandered
by
you
in
many
things
;
I
am
bound
in
the
Law
of
Righteousness
,
as
a
Friend
unto
them
,
(
at
least
)
to
vindicate
their
innocent
Cause
against
your
reproaches
,
which
may
be
as
a
stumbling
stone
in
the
eye
of
the
upright
;
&
though
I
know
not
your
faces
,
yet
your
spirit
is
tried
&
your
generation
is
read
at
large
,
&
your
stature
and
countenance
is
clearly
described
to
me
;
to
be
of
the
stock
of
Ishmael
,
and
of
the
seed
of
●ain
,
whose
line
reacheth
unto
the
murthering
Priests
,
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
;
&
though
you
profess
Christ
in
words
without
you
,
yet
are
you
found
Enemies
to
him
revealed
within
his
Saints
(
without
which
there
can
be
no
Salvation
)
and
this
I
find
the
subject
matter
of
your
discourse
,
and
the
length
of
your
tedious
travel
:
I
shall
not
transcribe
your
whole
matter
,
only
the
heads
of
some
particulars
I
shall
draw
into
a
sum
,
and
write
a
few
words
thereunto
,
not
in
a
large
manner
.
And
in
the
first
Epistle
have
spoken
something
,
As
of
God
and
man
together
,
making
up
one
Christ
,
who
is
the
Saviour
,
&c.
then
thou
shamelesly
sayst
,
This
is
quite
contrary
to
those
commonly
called
Familists
,
Ranters
,
Quakers
,
and
others
,
&c.
Either
deny
Chris●
to
be
a
real
Man
without
them
,
blaspemously
fancying
him
to
be
God
manifest
in
their
flesh
;
or
else
make
his
human
Nature
,
with
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
in
it
,
to
be
but
a
type
〈◊〉
God
,
to
be
manifest
in
the
Saints
,
&c.
1
Answ.
Here
thou
hast
(
as
thy
Fore-fathers
,
the
chief
Priests
and
Persecuto●●
did
)
numbred
the
Innocent
with
Transgressors
;
Quakers
with
Ranters
,
between
which
there
is
no
more
union
and
likeness
,
then
between
Light
and
Darkness
,
good
and
evil
;
and
thy
secret
subtilty
more
appears
,
and
the
wickedness
of
thy
Slander
,
because
thou
hast
joyned
in
thy
Accusation
such
who
may
be
guilty
with
the
Guiltless
;
for
the
Ranters
I
will
not
justifie
,
neither
at
present
the
Familists
,
except
I
better
knew
their
Principles
;
nor
any
others
will
I
vindicate
,
who
are
guilty
〈◊〉
thy
Accusation
:
Though
thou
art
condemned
for
numbring
the
Innocent
in
thy
Accusation
,
and
falsly
hast
secretly
slandered
the
Guiltless
,
who
are
free
from
thy
Slanders
herein
:
But
yet
further
I
say
,
If
thou
darest
lay
thy
charge
only
upon
the
Quakers
,
write
thy
meaning
in
plainness
,
and
bring
testimony
of
thy
accusation
,
and
thou
mayst
receive
a
further
Answer
;
and
cease
to
smite
with
secret
Slanders
in
the
dark
,
lest
thou
be
condemned
in
the
Light
with
the
guilty
,
for
numbring
the
Innocent
with
Transgressors
,
and
charging
the
Guiltless
with
the
Guilty
.
I
dare
not
plead
for
Ranters
,
Quakers
,
and
others
,
till
they
be
separated
,
lest
I
should
justifie
the
Wicked
and
condemn
the
Righteous
,
but
thy
wicked
heart
hath
joyned
them
in
accusation
,
that
thy
Slander
may
be
covered
,
and
some
ground
thou
mayst
have
in
appearance
for
thy
wicked
tongue
,
who
hath
hatched
mischief
against
the
Upright
.
And
thy
second
Slander
is
like-unto
the
first
,
where
thou
again
unjustly
numbers
the
Quakers
with
some
high-flown
People
,
and
sayest
,
These
high-flown
People
are
i●
this
very
like
to
Familists
and
Quakers
,
undervaluing
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
God
Man
,
and
though
they
speak
much
of
Christ
,
yet
they
do
not
savingly
and
rightly
lay
him
for
their
Foundation
,
&c.
2
Answ.
The
sum
of
this
broken
confusion
is
thus
much
,
Two
Slanders
upon
the
Quakers
undervaluing
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
&c.
and
not
laying
him
as
a
Foundation
,
&c.
though
thou
wilt
not
through
thy
subtilty
separate
the
Guiltless
from
them
who
may
be
guilty
in
thy
Accusation
,
yet
now
must
I
in
simplicity
,
in
my
return
to
thee
,
and
cannot
but
openly
charge
thee
to
be
a
secret
Shooter
of
Mischief
against
the
Righteous
:
We
prize
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
God
Man
to
be
precious
unto
us
,
and
unto
all
that
do
believe
,
and
have
owned
him
alone
to
be
the
Foundation
,
whom
God
hath
laid
for
Salvation
unto
the
ends
of
the
Earth
,
and
in
his
Light
are
we
saved
,
and
therein
do
walk
;
and
because
hereof
are
we
hated
by
thee
;
and
the
Generation
of
Hirelings
,
and
false
Prophets
,
who
speak
much
of
Christ
without
you
,
but
knows
him
not
in
you
the
hope
of
Glory
,
and
take
back
to
thee
thy
false
Accusations
,
for
thou
art
faln
in
the
Pit
which
thou
hast
digged
for
another
,
a
slanderous
tongue
dwells
within
thy
house
,
and
Christ
Jesus
the
Saviour
,
of
all
that
believe
,
is
thy
Condemner
,
who
believes
not
,
but
art
found
a
Lyar
,
and
a
false
Witness
,
slandering
unjustly
,
and
by
thy
unbelief
,
and
wickedness
herein
,
undervalues
Christ
Jesus
who
is
pure
and
holy
,
and
is
the
Foundation
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
and
not
of
Wrath
and
works
of
Darkness
,
wherein
thou
art
builded
in
thy
works
of
Mischief
.
And
for
the
rest
of
this
first
Epistle
,
I
shall
say
little
to
it
,
only
thus
much
is
the
mind
of
the
Pen-mans
spirit
,
secretly
smiting
at
the
Doctrine
of
true
Faith
and
Salvation
(
to
wit
)
Christ
Jesus
within
,
and
directing
altogether
without
,
and
afar
off
,
and
saying
in
his
heart
,
who
shall
ascend
,
and
who
shall
descend
,
and
is
not
mindfull
that
the
Word
of
Faith
is
in
the
Mouth
,
and
in
the
heart
,
and
thus
much
I
say
,
if
they
be
Reprobate
who
have
not
Christ
in
them
,
then
is
it
the
most
profitable
doctrine
,
and
thing
of
greatest
concernment
to
seek
for
him
,
and
to
find
him
within
,
seeing
many
can
speak
of
him
without
,
who
are
manifest
Enemies
to
him
in
their
hearts
and
works
;
and
thus
much
to
Iohn
Burtons
Epistle
.
Let
him
go
learn
what
this
means
.
The
next
thing
that
I
shall
mind
is
this
,
in
the
second
Epistle
,
where
a
Question
is
asked
,
Who
are
the
men
that
at
this
day
are
so
deluded
by
the
Quakers
,
and
other
pernitious
Doctrines
,
but
those
who
thought
it
enough
to
be
Talkers
of
the
Gospel
,
&
c
?
This
man
appears
to
be
of
the
same
spirit
with
his
Fellow
,
and
will
more
abound
in
Lyes
,
in
respect
of
the
number
,
then
he
that
went
before
;
and
the
sum
of
this
transcribed
is
,
That
the
Quakers
are
Deluders
,
and
thou
hast
joyned
them
with
a
Thief
also
,
and
numbred
the
guiltless
with
the
guilty
,
and
hast
shot
secretly
in
the
dark
,
and
far
missed
thy
aim
;
for
thy
bare
words
are
no
true
witness
,
and
thou
must
not
both
slander
,
and
be
Witness
thy self
;
though
I
perceive
thou
may
have
the
witness
of
all
that
walks
in
the
broad-way
to
evidence
falsly
for
thee
.
And
this
is
no
new
invented
Lye
,
for
it
hath
been
ever
;
the
Children
of
God
were
counted
Deceivers
,
as
in
the
Scripture
we
have
a
cloud
of
witnesses
,
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord
was
counted
so
by
thy
Generation
;
and
as
they
did
unto
him
,
so
must
you
do
unto
us
,
and
must
fulfil
their
measure
of
wickedness
,
as
Christ
hath
said
.
Answ.
And
this
is
my
Answer
in
full
,
That
way
which
thou
calst
Heresie
,
and
delusion
,
do
we
worship
the
God
of
our
Fathers
,
and
are
not
ashamed
of
the
Reproaches
for
his
Name
sake
.
Then
further
thou
sayest
,
They
be
such
kind
of
people
who
at
this
day
are
carried
away
with
the
Quakers
,
namely
,
loose
Ranters
,
and
light
Notionists
,
and
here
and
there
a
Legallist
,
which
were
shaking
in
their
Principles
,
&c.
Answ.
The
Substance
of
this
is
as
much
as
the
wise
Scribes
and
Pharisees
said
concerning
Christ
,
None
believed
in
him
,
said
they
,
but
a
company
of
poor
people
,
which
know
not
the
Law
,
which
were
accursed
;
and
doth
any
of
the
Rulers
believe
on
him
?
Friend
,
though
some
of
all
sorts
of
people
be
brought
to
God
,
yet
thou
seemst
to
be
offended
herewith
,
that
the
wicked
should
be
turned
from
his
wickedness
,
which
is
no
evidence
against
us
,
that
we
are
Deceivers
,
but
an
evidence
against
thee
,
in
thy
wicked
slander
,
who
hath
brought
forth
thy
Lies
without
fear
,
as
though
thou
shouldst
never
in
this
life
be
put
to
prove
them
,
nor
in
the
time
to
come
shouldst
ever
answer
for
them
.
But
the
Ranters
,
and
light
Notionists
,
and
Thee
we
do
deny
,
in
that
state
wherein
they
and
you
do
stand
,
till
you
turn
to
the
Lord
by
repentance
;
and
whatever
you
have
been
in
your
profession
or
practice
,
if
you
turn
from
your
iniquity
;
we
dare
not
deny
you
.
And
whereas
thou
givest
this
Character
of
a
Notionist
,
Such
a
one
is
puffed
up
in
his
fleshly
mind
,
and
advanceth
himself
above
others
,
&c.
This
is
thy
own
condition
,
and
thou
hast
read
thy
own
Character
,
who
art
pufft
up
in
thy
lies
and
slanders
,
and
advancest
thy self
above
the
Innocent
,
who
exceeds
thee
in
faith
towards
God
,
and
in
good
works
towards
men
,
and
whose
conversation
is
in
Heaven
;
but
thine
is
among
the
Hirelings
,
under
the
Marks
of
all
the
Deceivers
of
old
,
as
may
afterwards
appear
.
Then
thou
goes
on
,
and
sets
down
some
of
the
Lyes
which
thou
sayest
the
Devil
perswads
those
men
to
believe
.
And
first
,
That
Salvation
was
not
fully
and
compleatly
wrought
out
for
sinners
,
by
the
ma●
Christ
Iesus
,
&c.
Answ.
Friend
,
the
Devil
hath
perswaded
thee
to
believe
Lyes
,
which
is
a
degree
higher
,
A
Slander
is
more
then
a
Lye
.
This
Accusation
is
clearly
false
,
wickedly
cast
upon
us
;
for
there
is
not
salvation
in
any
other
,
nor
is
it
wrought
by
any
other
,
but
by
Jesus
Christ
fully
and
compleatly
it
is
brought
forth
by
him
unto
every
one
that
believes
,
who
receives
the
Testimony
of
it
in
themselves
;
for
if
thou
have
no
Testimony
of
it
,
but
without
thee
,
the
Pope
and
his
Idolaters
have
as
much
as
thou
,
and
may
be
more
;
take
back
to
thee
thy
Lye
again
with
shame
and
confusion
.
Then
thou
goes
on
,
and
sayst
,
This
is
another
of
his
Lyes
wherewith
he
deceives
;
bidding
them
,
follow
the
light
that
they
brought
into
the
World
with
them
,
telling
them
that
this
light
will
lead
into
the
Kingdom
,
&c.
Thou
hast
here
mixed
Truth
and
a
Lye
together
,
this
is
falsly
laid
down
(
The
light
that
they
brought
into
the
world
with
them
)
but
this
is
the
Truth
of
God
,
and
no
Lye
of
the
Devil
,
That
to
follow
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
wherewith
he
hath
lightned
every
man
that
comes
into
the
world
,
and
it
will
lead
into
the
Kingdom
of
Peace
and
righteousness
;
for
,
saith
Christ
,
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
,
he
that
follows
me
shall
not
walk
in
darkness
,
but
shall
have
the
Light
of
Life
;
and
this
is
that
which
thou
wouldst
fain
call
the
Lye
of
the
Devil
;
and
therefore
to
cover
thy
wickedness
and
impudency
,
thou
hast
changed
and
mixed
the
terms
of
words
,
that
thou
mayest
have
a
ground
for
thy
Slander
;
but
thou
art
seen
and
comprehended
,
and
thy
folly
appears
.
Then
thou
sayest
(
we
say
)
It
will
convince
of
Sin
,
Swearing
,
Lying
,
Stealing
,
&c.
of
Sins
against
the
Law
;
and
this
thou
makest
a
thing
of
little
account
,
to
be
convicted
of
sins
against
the
Law
,
by
the
Light
of
Christ
;
for
there
is
nothing
else
that
doth
convince
of
sin
.
(
mind
that
)
And
this
Light
thou
seems
to
acknowledge
every
man
hath
,
and
this
Light
I
do
affirm
to
be
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
to
bid
People
follow
this
;
the
Light
of
Christ
to
lead
into
the
Kingdom
can
be
no
Lye
of
the
Devil
;
for
he
which
convinceth
of
sins
against
the
Law
leads
up
into
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
;
and
though
thou
and
thy
Generation
would
leap
over
the
Law
,
yet
must
the
righteousness
of
it
in
Judgment
be
fulfilled
upon
you
,
and
by
Christ
Jesus
in
you
,
if
ever
you
receive
the
Salvation
to
your
Souls
.
Learn
wh●t
it
means
.
Much
more
thou
ramblest
over
,
which
I
pass
by
,
as
being
not
pertinent
to
the
thing
in
hand
;
but
Fools
love
to
be
meddling
,
though
little
to
the
purpose
,
and
as
I
have
said
,
thy
Maker
will
not
blame
thee
,
for
thou
hast
brought
in
of
thy
chiefest
substance
,
though
it
be
but
as
Clay
,
and
as
Dirt
(
at
least
that
of
it
which
is
against
the
Quakers
;
)
and
the
substance
of
many
Pages
following
is
this
that
I
have
gathered
,
denying
(
or
at
least
opposing
)
Christ
revealed
within
,
and
in
opposition
to
this
quotes
many
Scriptures
,
of
what
he
did
in
his
own
Person
,
which
Scriptures
I
own
,
and
the
Truth
which
they
bear
witness
of
;
yet
must
we
be●●
witness
,
that
without
the
Revelation
of
Christ
within
there
is
no
Salvation
:
However
,
so
much
is
or
may
be
spoken
of
him
without
,
as
the
Pope
can
do
as
well
as
thou
,
yet
are
you
found
to
be
one
Generation
,
persecuting
the
Life
under
the
ze●l
of
profession
of
the
words
.
Then
the
next
thing
that
I
mind
,
is
a
Question
which
thou
hast
asked
thyself
.
Do
not
the
Scriptures
make
mention
of
Christ
within
,
&
c
?
And
I
shall
ask
further
,
Doth
not
the
Scripture
witness
that
all
who
have
not
Christ
within
,
are
Reprobates
?
But
thou
hast
proved
deceitful
in
answering
thy self
,
and
shuffled
,
and
I
may
much
fear
thou
wilt
not
be
faithful
in
answering
mine
,
however
it
rests
upon
thee
to
answer
it
,
or
to
stop
thy
mouth
.
Then
the
next
thing
is
thou
sayest
,
This
design
of
deceiving
,
the
Devil
carries
o●
,
by
pretending
if
they
follow
what
is
made
known
to
them
from
the
Light
within
.
Answ.
I
observe
all
thy
whole
purpose
is
a
secret
smiting
against
the
Light
within
,
which
Christ
hath
given
to
every
man
;
and
thy
whole
work
is
to
render
his
●ight
odious
.
But
this
I
further
answer
.
The
design
of
the
Devil
in
deceiving
souls
,
is
thy
own
,
and
I
turn
it
back
to
thee
,
but
this
is
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
.
He
that
comes
to
eternal
Life
must
follow
and
walk
in
what
is
made
known
by
the
Light
of
Christ
within
.
And
thou
sayest
,
Beg
of
God
to
convince
thee
by
his
holy
Spirit
,
&c.
And
thus
thou
utterest
thy
confusion
,
sometime
treating
for
it
,
and
sometime
against
it
,
secretly
smiting
the
Just
,
mixing
the
Truth
with
Lyes
,
that
thereby
thy
Slanders
may
be
covered
,
and
thy
deceit
hid
.
The
rest
of
thy
Epistle
I
pass
by
,
being
from
the
same
spirit
which
thy
Lyes
are
from
;
and
thy
Lying
Spirit
the
Children
of
God
cannot
own
,
and
therefore
must
needs
deny
that
which
proceeds
from
it
.
And
thus
much
in
answer
to
thy
Epistle
.
Sixteen
of
thy
first
Pages
are
filled
with
this
(
to
wit
)
proving
that
there
is
a
Christ
,
and
that
he
was
promised
,
and
that
he
was
waited
for
,
and
expected
,
&c.
To
all
this
I
shall
say
nothing
,
except
thou
hadst
proved
it
in
opposition
to
some
body
;
for
what
is
Truth
I
own
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
as
it
is
Truth
in
Christ
;
but
as
it
comes
from
thy
lying
spirit
,
I
do
not
so
well
own
it
;
I
own
the
words
,
and
I
deny
thy
voice
,
and
this
is
my
Answer
.
Only
I
find
thee
wresting
some
Scriptures
,
whether
through
subtilty
,
or
for
want
of
wit
,
I
shall
not
judge
,
especially
this
hast
thou
encreased
,
Revel.
13.

and
faisly
sayst
,
The
Blood
of
Christ
was
shed
before
the
World
was
;
and
it
is
,
Since
the
Foundation
of
the
World
;
betwixt
which
is
great
difference
,
the
one
being
a
very
Lye
,
and
the
other
very
Truth
.
Then
thou
goest
on
proving
,
That
he
is
the
Saviour
that
was
born
of
Mary
,
&c.
which
thing
we
never
denied
,
and
therefore
I
need
the
less
to
answer
thee
,
except
thou
hadst
spoken
it
in
opposition
to
us
,
which
I
find
thee
not
altogether
,
until
the
thirty
seventh
Page
,
where
thou
again
secretly
smitest
,
in
mixing
some
Truth
with
thy
Lye
.
And
thou
sayest
,
How
horribly
are
those
deceived
,
who
look
on
Iesus
to
be
but
a
Shadow
or
Type
?
This
is
thy
Lye
,
I
know
not
any
who
do
it
,
and
yet
thou
sayest
,
Of
something
that
was
afterwards
to
be
revealed
,
&c.
Answ.
This
hath
some
truth
in
it
,
which
is
this
,
The
same
Christ
which
was
born
of
Mary
,
which
wrought
Righteousness
in
his
Person
,
by
doing
,
and
suffering
;
which
was
&
is
the
Substance
,
was
afterwards
revealed
in
the
Saints
:
And
this
is
no
horrible
deceit
,
to
witness
Christ
revealed
,
or
to
wait
for
him
to
be
revealed
within
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
When
he
was
come
,
then
was
an
end
put
to
the
Law
,
&c.
And
here
I
ask
a
Question
,
Did
Christ
Jesus
put
an
end
to
the
Law
for
them
who
yet
live
in
the
transgression
of
the
Law
?
or
doth
be
justifie
that
which
the
Law
condemneth
before
the
work
of
the
Law
be
finished
?
What
is
the
meaning
of
the
Scripture
,
Not
one
tittle
shall
fail
,
till
all
be
fulfilled
?
What
assurance
have
any
that
it
is
fulfilled
for
them
,
who
are
yet
transgressors
of
it
in
themselves
?
An
Answer
to
this
may
satisfie
the
simple
.
Then
thou
goest
on
and
sayst
,
How
are
they
deceived
that
think
to
obtain
Salvation
by
following
the
convictions
of
the
Law
,
which
they
call
Christ
,
&
c
?
Answ.
Here
thou
confessest
the
Law
convinceth
,
then
it
is
not
put
to
an
end
,
or
fulfilled
,
or
taken
away
,
because
it
yet
works
;
and
it
is
no
deceit
to
mind
that
which
doth
convince
of
sin
,
to
lead
to
Christ
,
to
take
sin
away
;
for
the
Scripture
saith
,
The
Law
is
a
School-Master
,
to
bring
to
Christ
;
but
thou
art
in
the
deceived
state
,
who
healest
up
falsly
,
and
daubest
with
untempered
Morter
,
and
wouldst
teach
People
to
apply
the
Promises
unto
Salvation
,
while
they
are
in
a
condition
of
damnation
,
condemned
in
the
sight
of
God
by
the
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
,
nor
will
not
own
that
which
discovers
sin
;
and
how
then
can
they
own
him
that
takes
it
away
,
and
purges
from
it
by
his
Blood
?
which
thou
sayest
is
done
,
but
hast
no
more
witness
of
it
,
by
the
fruit
of
ceasing
to
commit
sin
,
then
the
Pope
hath
,
who
lives
in
your
sin
;
then
how
is
it
taken
away
?
Then
thou
sayest
with
an
impudent
Tongue
,
It
s
not
of
works
,
least
any
man
should
boast
,
as
these
fond
Hypocrites
called
Quakers
would
do
.
Answ.
Thou
Slanderer
,
When
didst
thou
hear
any
of
the
Quakers
boast
,
or
see
them
live
in
Hypocrisie
:
God
shall
judge
thee
thou
deceitful
heart
;
but
further
I
answer
by
a
Query
,
Will
that
faith
which
is
without
works
justifie
?
And
must
not
every
one
receive
according
to
their
deeds
;
he
that
doth
good
,
Life
,
he
that
doth
evil
,
Condemnation
?
but
such
is
thy
faigned
fancy
of
Faith
,
who
seekest
to
be
justified
by
it
,
whilst
thou
bringest
forth
the
fruits
of
unbelief
.
Then
thou
speakest
of
living
by
Faith
,
which
as
thou
sayest
,
Is
to
apply
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
his
Benefits
,
as
Birth
&c.
I
say
,
if
to
talk
of
him
was
Faith
in
him
,
and
to
live
by
his
Faith
,
then
few
would
want
him
;
for
many
have
gotten
the
words
which
are
without
the
Life
of
Righteousness
through
Faith
,
and
to
live
by
Faith
;
says
not
who
shall
ascend
or
descend
to
fetch
Christ
for
Salvation
;
neither
doth
it
say
,
When
shall
he
come
from
afar
ot
save
his
People
,
but
Faith
speaks
thus
,
What
saith
the
word
of
the
Gospel
,
which
is
within
the
heart
,
as
thou
mayst
read
in
the
Scripture
of
Truth
;
hadst
thou
but
an
ear
to
hear
,
but
thou
sayest
,
Lo
here
,
and
Lo
there
,
false
Prophet
like
.
Then
thou
sayst
further
,
How
are
they
deceived
who
own
Christ
no
otherwise
then
as
he
was
before
the
World
began
,
&
c
?
Answ.
Here
thou
hast
discovered
thy self
more
plainly
,
Did
not
the
Saints
own
Christ
Jesus
the
same
yesterday
,
to
day
,
and
for
ever
,
for
Salvation
;
and
is
there
any
other
Christ
then
he
who
was
before
Abraham
was
,
and
is
he
not
now
glorified
with
the
same
glory
,
(
mind
the
same
Glory
)
which
he
had
with
the
Father
before
the
World
was
,
according
as
he
prayed
?
is
this
deceit
,
or
is
it
thy
grievous
ignorance
to
call
it
so
,
to
own
him
as
he
was
before
the
World
was
for
Salvation
?
thou
ignorant
man
,
that
was
the
very
Christ
the
Son
of
God
,
who
was
equal
with
the
Father
,
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
and
in
time
was
manifest
in
Bethelem
,
and
calls
himself
the
Light
of
the
World
;
thou
hadst
better
have
said
nothing
,
then
by
multitude
of
words
to
lay
open
thy
shame
:
Friend
that
spiritual
Rock
whcih
the
Fathers
did
eat
and
drink
of
,
which
followed
them
,
that
Rock
was
Christ
the
Salvation
.
The
next
thing
that
I
take
notice
of
,
is
thy
exposition
upon
that
Scripture
Iob.
4.
3.
And
thou
sayest
this
is
the
meaning
,
Every
Spirit
that
doth
not
confess
that
th●
Christ
that
was
with
the
Father
before
the
World
was
,
did
in
the
appointed
time
of
the
Father
come
into
the
World
,
took
upon
him
a
Body
,
and
was
very
Man
,
as
well
as
very
God
,
&c.
Answ.
If
every
spirit
be
of
God
which
doth
in
words
confess
this
,
then
is
not
the
Pope
himself
antichrist
,
seeing
he
confesses
as
much
of
this
(
it
may
be
more
then
thou
dost
)
neither
canst
thou
justly
condemn
us
for
denying
this
;
for
we
do
confess
it
with
our
hearts
,
and
not
only
with
our
mouthes
,
as
thou
and
the
Pope
doth
.
But
Friend
,
Is
every
one
saved
that
saith
,
Lord
,
Lord
?
nay
,
it
is
only
he
that
doth
the
will
of
the
Father
,
and
who
in
many
Nations
do
not
confess
this
to
be
true
,
and
yet
there
are
but
few
in
all
Nations
in
the
Way
to
Life
,
that
shall
be
saved
by
Christ
Jesus
;
and
it
is
not
much
better
nor
more
accepted
to
confess
Christ
in
words
to
be
come
,
and
yet
in
works
to
deny
him
,
then
it
is
both
in
words
and
in
works
to
deny
him
;
the
one
is
wicked
in
Prophaness
,
the
other
is
wicked
in
Hypocrisie
;
the
one
is
a
Lyar
,
the
other
is
a
false
Witness
,
and
whether
of
these
are
most
vile
,
let
them
who
are
spiritual
judge
.
Then
thou
exhortest
,
To
receive
no
Christ
except
God's
Christ
,
&c.
To
this
I
say
,
The
Christ
of
God
is
a
Mystery
not
known
to
the
World
,
and
this
is
he
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
whom
God
gave
into
the
World
,
to
be
the
Light
and
Saviour
thereof
,
even
he
is
God's
Salvation
unto
the
ends
of
the
Earth
;
and
unto
him
he
is
Light
,
and
shall
be
Salvation
and
Redmeption
where
his
Person
never
came
;
and
yet
it
cannot
be
said
,
Here
is
the
Place
where
the
Son
of
God
is
not
.
Let
him
that
reads
understand
.
Then
thy
next
thing
is
,
proving
many
things
concerning
Christ
,
which
I
pass
by
as
not
having
any
thing
therein
against
the
Quakers
,
only
in
one
particular
,
where
thou
numbers
again
them
with
the
Ranters
,
so
that
I
pass
by
also
,
lest
thou
should
say
I
justifie
the
Ranters
,
and
do
rather
choose
to
let
the
Innocent
lie
under
the
suffering
of
thy
reproach
,
whose
innocency
will
appear
when
thy
black
vail
of
Lyes
is
taken
away
.
Then
the
next
thing
I
mind
is
,
where
thou
seems
to
reprove
the
Quakers
for
wresting
the
Scripture
,
Iohn
1.
9.
whereby
thou
sayest
,
They
split
themselves
,
and
endeavour
to
split
others
,
&c.
Answ.
Wresting
is
thy
own
,
and
not
ours
,
for
we
take
the
Scripture
in
plain
words
,
without
adding
or
diminishing
,
as
our
enemies
shall
witness
for
us
.
Then
how
wickedly
dost
thou
say
we
wrest
it
,
when
we
neither
add
nor
diminish
.
But
thy
folly
must
appear
by
thy
much
meddling
.
And
then
thou
takest
in
hand
to
speak
to
the
thing
,
and
thus
thou
sayst
;
Every
man
,
as
he
comes
into
the
World
,
receives
a
light
from
Christ
,
as
he
is
God
,
&c.
Answ.
What
less
hast
thou
said
then
we
,
except
thou
wilt
say
,
he
hath
not
lighted
man
as
he
is
Christ
,
and
so
divide
the
Father
,
and
the
Son
,
which
is
error
;
for
what
the
Father
doth
,
the
Son
doth
also
,
and
they
are
equal
in
power
and
operation
,
and
cannot
be
divided
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
This
Light
is
Conscience
,
that
some
call
Christ
,
though
falsly
.
Answ.
Them
I
leave
for
thee
to
reprove
,
and
do
deny
them
,
and
thee
together
;
if
thou
hast
not
falsly
made
a
Lye
of
some
Body
,
and
told
thy
own
Lye
,
through
the
wresting
of
their
words
,
let
the
Light
in
thy
Conscience
judge
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
This
Light
will
shew
a
man
there
is
a
God
,
and
will
discover
the
eternal
God
by
his
works
,
and
it
will
reprove
of
sin
,
and
make
sin
manifest
,
and
by
it
the
unregenerate
man
is
able
to
know
the
sins
against
the
Law
are
sins
against
God
,
&c.
Answ.
Also
this
will
the
Light
of
Christ
do
,
wherewith
he
hath
enlightened
every
man
to
Salvation
,
or
condemnation
,
even
that
Light
of
which
we
declare
:
so
that
thou
hast
said
no
less
hitherto
,
then
we
in
this
particular
and
the
Scriptures
say
.
They
saw
the
Eternal
Power
and
Godhead
,
by
that
which
was
made
manifest
of
God
in
them
,
(
mind
,
in
them
)
which
once
they
knew
of
God
,
but
turned
from
it
;
and
the
Scripture
saith
,
That
which
reproves
of
sin
is
the
gift
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
John
16.
and
also
the
Scripture
saith
,
That
which
makes
manifest
sin
is
Light
,
and
whatsoever
is
reproved
is
made
manifest
by
the
Light
,
even
the
true
Light
the
Apostle
speaks
of
,
Ephes.
And
the
sum
of
all
this
which
thou
wouldst
reprove
in
us
,
is
no
more
then
the
Scriptures
bare
witness
of
,
and
which
thy self
hath
uttered
and
confessed
.
And
Friend
,
dost
thou
know
this
Light
that
is
given
of
Christ
and
God
,
unto
every
man
,
is
sufficient
in
it self
for
Life
and
Salvation
unto
every
one
that
believes
?
if
thou
say
it
is
not
,
wherein
is
the
blame
,
in
God
,
or
in
this
Light
,
or
in
the
Creature
?
shew
if
thou
canst
.
Then
thou
again
sayst
,
This
light
surely
is
that
wherewith
Christ
,
as
he
is
God
,
hath
enlightned
every
one
that
comes
unto
the
Word
which
doth
convince
of
sin
.
Answ.
Thus
far
thou
art
forced
to
confess
Truth
,
(
I
think
against
thy
mind
)
and
thus
far
in
words
only
we
agree
as
in
this
particular
;
then
why
dost
thou
say
,
By
wresting
that
Scripture
,
John
1.
9.
we
split
our selves
,
and
endeavour
to
split
others
,
seeing
thou
thy self
hast
confessed
no
less
then
thou
callst
wresting
in
us
.
I
reckon
up
thy
confusion
,
and
leave
it
for
thee
to
read
,
and
them
to
whom
this
may
come
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
The
neglect
of
this
(
Light
)
will
be
sure
to
damn
,
though
the
obedience
to
the
Law
will
not
save
them
,
&c.
Answ.
Here
again
thou
hast
confessed
truth
.
If
the
neglect
of
the
Light
will
be
sure
to
damn
,
as
thou
confessest
;
then
I
say
,
surely
it
is
not
good
to
neglect
it
,
that
must
needs
follow
,
deny
it
if
thou
canst
;
therefore
the
sum
of
thy
words
is
the
same
with
us
,
that
every
one
mind
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
least
they
be
damned
for
the
neglect
of
it
.
And
Friend
,
to
the
second
part
of
the
clause
,
I
say
,
the
Law
must
be
obeyed
,
and
the
righteousness
of
it
fulfilled
within
thee
,
if
ever
thou
come
to
Eternal
Life
;
if
it
be
not
,
thou
cannot
escape
damnation
.
Learn
what
this
means
,
Then
further
thou
sayst
,
Though
Christ
doth
give
a
Light
to
every
one
that
comes
into
the
World
;
yet
it
doth
not
therefore
follow
,
that
this
Conscience
(
or
Light
)
is
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
or
the
work
of
Grace
wrought
in
the
heart
,
&c.
Here
thy
confusion
is
seen
at
large
,
who
wouldst
seem
to
divide
between
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
thou
confessest
is
given
to
every
man
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
Grace
of
God
.
However
thus
far
I
say
,
the
Light
of
Christ
given
to
every
man
,
is
not
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
nor
to
the
Grace
of
God
,
but
one
in
their
nature
;
and
a
man
cannot
possibly
love
one
of
them
,
and
hate
another
;
neither
can
any
obey
one
of
these
,
and
disobey
the
other
;
therefore
are
they
one
in
the
union
,
leading
in
the
same
way
unto
the
same
end
.
And
where
doth
the
Spirit
of
Christ
give
light
,
or
the
Grace
of
God
work
,
or
lead
,
if
not
in
the
Conscience
?
And
can
there
be
any
surer
thing
for
the
Creature
to
look
to
,
to
walk
to
Life
,
or
to
come
to
God
by
,
then
the
Light
of
Christ
in
the
Conscience
,
which
thou
confessest
every
man
hath
that
cometh
into
the
World
?
Then
thou
sayst
,
Heathens
,
Turks
,
Iews
,
Athiest
,
&c.
have
that
that
doth
convince
them
of
sin
,
yet
are
so
far
from
having
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
,
that
they
delight
to
serve
their
lust
,
&c.
Answ.
This
Query
I
ask
of
thee
,
Do
they
or
thou
,
or
any
man
serve
sin
or
your
lusts
,
because
Christ
hath
not
given
you
light
to
discover
your
sin
,
or
because
you
hate
that
Light
that
is
given
?
answer
me
.
And
surely
by
this
which
doth
convince
of
sin
,
is
every
man
in
the
world
inexcusable
,
so
it
works
for
God
in
all
men
,
either
to
justifie
or
condemn
.
And
tell
me
,
is
not
the
Spirit
or
Light
of
Christ
the
only
thing
which
doth
convince
of
sin
?
Or
doth
any
thing
convince
of
sin
contrary
,
or
besides
,
or
without
the
Spirit
of
Christ
?
if
nay
,
then
it
must
needs
be
that
it
is
from
,
or
by
,
or
something
of
the
nature
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
is
in
the
Heathens
.
And
the
sum
of
thy
doctrine
is
no
less
in
the
profession
of
thy
words
,
then
what
we
say
;
then
why
dost
thou
condemn
us
?
But
it
seems
thy
tongue
speaks
one
thing
,
and
another
thing
is
in
thy
heart
,
and
this
is
Hypocrisie
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
Those
that
are
alive
to
sin
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
&c.
But
I
say
it
is
given
to
every
man
,
though
every
man
receives
it
not
;
and
it
strives
with
the
wicked
man
,
though
he
follows
it
not
.
And
some
other
vain
Arguments
thou
usest
to
prove
,
That
every
man
hath
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
I
pass
by
;
only
thus
much
I
leave
with
thee
,
till
thou
provest
the
Light
of
Christ
(
which
thou
confessest
every
may
hath
)
to
be
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
I
shall
say
every
man
hath
that
which
is
one
in
union
,
and
like
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
even
as
good
as
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
according
to
its
measure
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
sayest
,
That
the
Devil
might
be
sure
to
deceive
(
or
to
that
purpose
)
he
saith
,
Turn
thy
mind
inward
,
and
listen
within
,
and
see
if
there
be
not
that
within
thee
that
doth
convince
of
sin
,
&c.
Answ.
Thou
hast
confessed
that
the
Light
within
which
convinces
of
sin
is
the
Light
of
God
and
Christ
;
and
now
thou
sayest
,
the
Divil
,
to
deceive
souls
,
bids
turn
to
mind
the
Light
within
,
which
doth
convince
of
sin
;
thou
hast
,
lyed
of
the
Devil
:
Oh
thou
blind
Priest
!
whom
God
hath
confounded
in
thy
language
;
Was
ever
such
a
thing
spoken
,
That
the
Devil
can
deceive
any
by
the
Light
of
Christ
,
or
that
he
uses
any
such
doctrine
.
Friend
it
is
the
Voice
of
the
Gospel
to
bid
listen
within
to
the
Light
,
even
to
the
Word
of
Faith
,
within
the
heart
,
as
Paul
preached
.
But
thou
further
sayst
,
They
are
ignorant
of
the
Gospel
,
who
clasp
in
with
these
Motions
of
the
Light
within
,
(
or
Conscience
)
which
doth
command
to
abstain
from
the
evil
,
and
to
practice
good
.
And
here
thou
hast
shewed
thy
blindness
and
ignorance
,
more
then
can
be
uttered
,
as
though
the
motions
of
the
Light
of
Christ
in
the
Conscience
,
which
command
to
abstain
from
evil
,
and
to
practice
good
,
were
another
thing
then
the
Light
of
the
Gospel
:
what
,
and
how
doth
the
Light
of
the
Gospel
work
,
if
not
in
the
Conscience
,
and
to
command
from
evil
,
and
to
practice
good
?
Surely
thou
preachest
another
Gospel
then
Paul
preached
:
for
his
Doctrine
was
,
Abstain
from
all
evil
,
and
follow
that
which
is
good
,
and
listen
to
the
word
within
in
the
heart
;
but
this
Gospel
thou
deniest
,
and
so
must
needst
preach
another
Gospel
,
and
so
art
the
accursed
,
as
Paul
saith
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
Thus
the
poor
Soul
is
most
horribly
carried
away
head-long
,
&c.
into
the
belly
of
Hell
,
&c.
thus
much
is
the
sum
,
by
turning
the
mind
within
,
to
the
Light
which
doth
convince
of
sin
,
and
listning
thereto
,
and
clapsing
with
the
motions
in
the
Conscience
which
do
command
to
abstain
from
evil
,
and
to
practice
good
,
and
closing
with
something
within
(
which
thou
hast
confessed
is
the
Light
of
Christ
)
hereby
,
or
thus
is
the
poor
Soul
carried
headlong
,
and
at
the
end
of
its
life
doth
fall
into
the
belly
of
Hell
,
as
thou
sayst
.
Let
shame
cover
thee
,
if
thy
heart
be
not
altogether
hardned
;
was
ever
such
Doctrine
preached
?
surely
,
malice
hath
carried
thee
out
of
sence
,
else
thou
wouldst
not
have
uttered
these
things
,
but
it
is
answer
enough
to
reckon
thy
confusion
up
into
a
sum
,
and
I
leave
it
to
every
honest
heart
to
read
,
and
judge
thereof
.
Then
thou
further
sayst
,
The
Devil
counterfeits
the
works
of
Grace
,
and
makes
the
Soul
believe
,
if
it
will
be
led
by
what
is
made
known
unto
it
,
by
the
Light
or
Conscience
within
,
it
shall
do
well
.
Answ.
Wo
unto
thee
that
callst
good
evil
,
and
evil
good
;
Art
thou
not
ashamed
to
utter
thy
mind
so
wickedly
,
and
impudently
?
doth
the
Light
of
Christ
within
deceive
?
or
is
not
this
Christs
Doctrine
,
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
,
he
that
follows
me
shall
have
the
Light
of
Life
;
and
he
that
walks
in
the
Light
stumbles
not
?
and
this
shamelesly
hast
thou
called
the
Doctrine
of
the
Devil
;
but
if
ever
thou
knowst
God
it
must
be
by
following
,
and
by
being
led
with
the
Light
within
,
which
God
hath
made
known
unto
thee
,
else
the
Light
is
thy
condemnation
eternally
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
The
Devil
counterfeits
the
new
birth
,
by
perswading
it
is
wrought
by
following
the
Light
of
the
World
,
&c.
Answ.
This
Doctrine
is
as
wicked
as
the
former
,
and
from
as
lying
a
spirit
;
but
answer
me
,
By
what
is
the
New-birth
wrought
?
and
how
,
if
not
by
following
the
Light
of
Christ
in
the
Conscience
?
is
there
any
other
way
to
God
but
Christ
Jesus
,
who
hath
lighted
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
?
and
whereas
thou
beginst
to
scorn
,
in
thy
vain
mind
,
at
living
upon
Bread
and
Water
,
and
wearing
no
Hatbands
,
and
not
speaking
except
the
Spirit
moves
,
&c.
The
Scorner
and
the
Lyar
go
together
,
the
Lord
rebuke
thee
thou
false
deceitfull
heart
,
and
lying
tongue
;
it
grieves
thy
lust
to
know
any
to
live
upon
bread
and
water
,
and
it
torments
thy
pride
,
that
any
should
forsake
their
pride
;
and
it
is
easily
known
of
what
spirit
thou
art
,
and
that
thou
goest
on
in
thy
own
will
,
before
God
leads
thee
,
and
scornst
to
wait
till
the
Spirit
of
God
moves
upon
thee
,
or
scornst
them
that
do
wait
;
but
thou
runst
,
and
art
not
sent
,
like
unto
thy
Fore-fathers
;
and
therefore
thou
dost
not
profit
people
at
all
.
Then
thou
accusest
us
of
sad
Blasphemies
,
and
horrible
Doctrines
,
but
namest
nothing
,
and
so
slanderst
without
witness
;
and
take
back
thy
own
words
,
for
they
belong
to
thee
,
as
is
sufficiently
proved
in
this
Answer
to
thy
Book
,
let
the
wise
in
heart
judge
:
And
thou
hast
said
,
Thou
wonderst
,
that
the
ground
do
not
open
and
swallow
us
up
,
or
else
the
Devil
fetch
us
away
alive
,
&c.
And
this
most
fully
discovers
thy
spirit
to
be
without
the
fear
of
God
in
any
measure
,
who
utterst
such
wicked
Language
,
for
which
thou
hast
no
example
among
all
the
Children
of
God
;
and
is
not
this
horrible
Doctrine
,
and
little
less
then
sad
Blasphemies
?
It
is
answer
sufficient
to
gather
up
thy
confusion
,
and
send
it
thee
to
read
;
if
there
be
any
honesty
in
thy
heart
,
repent
,
and
cease
thy
wickedness
,
lest
God
smite
thee
with
a
Curse
,
and
make
thee
an
Example
of
Destruction
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
hast
asked
thy self
a
Question
;
Is
it
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
that
doth
make
manifest
,
or
convince
of
Sin
?
The
Question
is
good
,
but
thou
hast
consounded
it
in
thy
Answer
,
and
not
answered
plainly
,
but
hast
covered
Truth
under
the
vail
of
thy
many
words
:
Thou
sayst
,
There
are
two
things
that
do
make
manifest
,
and
convince
of
Sin
;
first
,
the
Law
;
and
secondly
,
the
Spirit
of
Christ
.
I
query
further
,
Doth
any
thing
convince
of
sin
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
?
if
not
,
then
that
which
doth
convince
of
sin
is
like
unto
,
or
one
in
the
Union
,
or
something
as
good
in
its
Nature
as
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
and
thou
instancest
in
Iudas
,
whom
thou
sayst
was
convinced
of
sin
by
the
Law
,
without
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
to
which
I
say
,
the
Law
of
God
is
spiritual
,
and
is
not
contrary
,
but
one
with
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
its
union
,
(
at
least
)
and
that
which
let
him
see
Christ
to
be
innocent
,
was
not
words
,
syllables
without
him
,
but
must
needs
be
within
him
;
so
if
I
should
say
the
Spirit
of
Christ
was
not
in
him
,
yet
was
the
Work
of
the
righteous
Law
of
God
written
in
his
heart
,
which
is
spiritual
,
and
Christ
Jesus
was
not
without
his
own
testimony
in
Iudas
,
which
is
Light
,
by
which
Iudas
was
,
and
is
condemned
eternally
;
And
though
Iudas
was
at
the
same
time
possessed
of
the
Devil
,
as
thou
sayest
,
yet
there
was
that
within
him
also
,
which
disquieted
,
and
tormented
the
Devil
,
which
discovered
the
Devil
with
his
works
,
by
which
he
saw
his
murderous
mind
,
and
the
Blood
of
the
Just
One
,
I
say
;
it
needs
must
be
contrary
to
the
Devil
,
and
to
his
works
,
which
condemned
him
;
I
call
it
the
Light
of
God
,
which
is
spiritual
,
call
it
what
thou
canst
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
seems
to
shew
a
difference
betwixt
being
convinced
by
the
Law
without
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
convincement
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
art
confounded
in
thy
discourse
.
I
say
the
power
of
the
Law
of
God
is
spiritual
,
and
though
thou
make
a
little
thing
of
it
to
be
convinced
by
the
Law
,
of
sins
against
the
Law
,
yet
I
make
it
a
thing
of
weight
;
And
this
is
the
condemnation
,
that
Light
is
come
into
the
World
,
and
men
love
darkness
rather
then
Light
,
because
their
deeds
are
evil
;
and
the
Law
is
Light
,
as
saith
the
Scripture
;
and
Christ
is
come
to
discover
and
reprove
sin
;
and
I
put
thee
to
prove
in
all
the
Scripture
where
any
such
thing
ever
was
distinguished
,
as
something
to
convince
of
sin
,
without
,
and
besides
,
or
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
till
thou
provest
it
,
thus
far
I
have
answered
thee
concerning
it
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
Though
some
say
,
they
are
not
only
convinced
of
Sin
,
but
have
gotten
some
power
over
it
,
to
abstain
from
those
things
forbidden
in
the
Law
;
yet
thou
further
sayst
,
This
may
be
done
as
those
blind
Pharisees
,
called
Quakers
,
think
they
do
,
and
be
but
natural
men
,
&c.
Answ.
Thou
perverter
of
the
right
Way
of
God
;
how
long
wilt
thou
go
on
in
thy
uncleanness
,
uttering
thy
wrath
against
the
Simple
?
It
seems
,
to
get
power
over
sin
,
and
to
abstain
from
those
things
forbidden
in
the
Law
is
a
thing
of
no
value
with
thee
;
but
is
it
not
further
then
thou
ever
camest
?
let
that
of
God
in
thy
Conscience
judge
and
answer
,
and
shew
me
if
ever
any
natural
man
did
it
throughout
the
Scripture
:
And
as
for
the
Pharisee
,
it
is
thy
own
,
I
return
it
to
thee
again
;
thou
art
called
of
men
Master
,
and
hast
the
chief
Seat
in
the
Assembly
,
and
standst
praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
as
they
did
in
Christs
time
.
Friend
,
how
fain
wouldst
thou
clear
thy self
to
make
others
guilty
;
but
the
guilt
stands
at
thy
door
,
and
rests
upon
thy
own
head
,
and
I
rather
chuse
to
be
of
that
profession
which
abstains
from
those
things
forbidden
in
the
Law
,
and
to
have
power
over
sin
,
then
to
live
in
the
transgression
of
the
Law
,
and
under
the
power
of
sin
:
Yet
talking
of
belief
in
the
Son
of
Mary
,
whose
Name
(
Mary
)
I
may
have
ground
to
judge
thou
worshipst
as
the
Papists
do
;
and
the
same
I
say
,
much
as
Paul
did
,
The
uncircumcision
of
such
who
keep
the
Law
,
shall
condemn
thee
,
in
thy
false
faith
,
who
breakst
the
Law
.
Then
thou
again
confessest
,
That
Christ
,
as
God
,
hath
enlightened
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
with
the
Law
which
doth
convince
of
Sin
;
but
to
this
I
have
spoken
,
so
shall
pass
it
,
only
mind
the
Scripture
which
thy self
hast
quoted
,
The
Law
is
Light
,
then
the
Light
is
the
Law
,
and
gives
the
knowledge
of
sin
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
If
the
Spirit
of
Christ
convince
thee
of
Sin
,
then
it
convinces
of
more
Sins
then
against
the
Law
.
And
to
this
I
say
,
It
seem
there
is
some
sin
,
against
which
there
is
no
Law
,
by
thy
confused
Story
,
or
that
the
Law
is
not
against
all
sin
:
Friend
,
shew
,
if
thou
canst
,
any
sin
which
is
not
against
the
Law
;
if
thou
canst
not
,
Repent
,
and
cease
thy
confusion
.
Then
thou
speakst
against
self-righteousness
,
but
hast
forgotten
to
reprove
thy self
,
of
thy
Lying
,
and
Slandering
,
and
false
Accusing
;
and
it
is
thou
that
preachest
another
Gospel
then
the
Apostle
preached
;
he
directed
every
one
to
the
Word
within
,
in
the
heart
,
and
turned
to
the
Light
within
,
from
darkness
;
but
thou
directs
altogether
to
a
thing
without
,
dispising
the
Light
within
,
and
worshipping
the
Name
(
Mary
)
in
thy
imaginations
,
and
knowst
not
him
who
was
before
the
World
was
,
in
whom
alone
is
Salvation
,
and
in
no
other
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
The
Light
convinceth
of
Sins
,
but
of
no
other
then
Sins
against
the
Law
;
as
though
there
were
some
sins
which
were
not
against
the
Law
;
but
to
that
I
have
spoken
.
And
thou
sayst
,
It
doth
not
shew
the
Soul
a
Saviour
,
or
Deliverer
,
&c.
Answ.
Thou
art
here
in
a
Lye
,
for
the
Light
which
comes
from
Christ
doth
manifest
a
Saviour
,
and
Deliverer
,
and
nothing
else
;
for
if
the
Light
of
Christ
doth
not
shew
Christ
,
what
then
can
,
unto
every
one
that
walk
in
the
Light
?
Then
the
next
thing
thou
provest
is
,
That
God
only
is
our
Saviour
,
there
is
none
beside
him
,
&c.
But
how
contrary
is
this
to
that
in
page
42.
where
thou
sayest
,
They
are
wickedly
deluded
,
who
own
Christ
no
otherwise
,
but
as
he
was
before
the
World
was
,
for
Salvation
:
For
if
God
be
the
Saviour
,
and
there
is
none
beside
him
,
then
it
is
no
delusion
to
own
him
as
he
was
before
the
World
was
;
and
thus
I
sum
up
thy
confusion
and
contradictions
,
and
leave
them
for
thee
to
read
.
The
next
thing
I
observe
is
,
where
thou
art
proving
the
Resurrection
,
and
slanderest
the
Quakers
with
making
light
of
it
;
but
yet
again
wickedly
numbring
them
with
other
Infidels
,
that
thou
mightst
have
a
cover
for
thy
slander
;
but
I
put
thee
to
prove
,
where
they
made
light
of
the
Resurrection
;
or
else
prove
thy self
a
Lyar
in
the
sight
of
all
Just
men
;
thou
secretly
slanderest
,
but
proves
nothing
.
Then
thou
hast
raised
a
Query
from
Ephes.
4.
10.
but
hast
not
answered
it
;
though
many
words
thou
hast
uttered
,
yet
little
to
the
purpose
;
and
I
return
thee
the
same
query
again
to
answer
;
and
many
other
things
,
and
Arguments
thou
hast
made
,
to
which
I
shall
say
little
,
only
mind
thee
of
thy
carnal
sottishness
,
who
speakst
of
Christ
to
be
four
or
five
foot
long
;
let
shame
cover
thy
Lips
,
thou
blind
Sot
;
when
didst
thou
see
Christ
in
that
length
?
hast
thou
not
here
spoken
of
that
which
thou
knowst
not
,
and
art
a
busy
body
intruding
into
things
,
whereof
thou
art
ignorant
,
but
Fools
love
to
be
medling
,
to
manifest
their
own
folly
,
among
whom
thou
art
;
and
much
more
stuff
,
which
I
pass
by
,
as
not
worth
naming
;
only
thy
malice
is
against
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
within
,
and
utters
thy
carnal
sensual
knowledge
of
the
things
of
God
,
which
thy
imaginations
shall
never
know
.
The
next
thing
I
observe
is
,
where
thou
reckonst
the
Quakers
to
be
the
false
Prophets
which
Christ
speaks
of
,
which
shall
be
before
his
coming
,
and
to
be
the
Scoffers
which
walks
after
their
own
hearts
lust
which
Peter
speaks
of
.
Answ.
To
which
I
answer
;
those
false
Prophets
which
Christ
spake
of
,
came
in
,
in
the
dayes
of
Iohn
;
For
,
saith
he
,
by
this
we
know
that
it
is
the
last
time
;
for
now
are
there
many
Antichrists
;
and
this
was
before
a
Quaker
was
heard
of
;
And
if
we
should
diligently
search
,
we
should
find
thee
in
their
steps
,
through
feigned
words
,
through
coveteousness
,
making
Merchandise
of
Souls
,
loving
the
wages
of
unrighteousness
,
and
such
were
the
Scoffers
,
which
Peeer
speaks
of
,
among
whom
thou
art
found
,
in
thy
practice
,
among
them
who
are
preaching
for
hire
,
&
love
the
error
of
Balaam
,
who
took
gifts
and
rewards
;
and
Christ
hath
said
,
we
shall
know
you
by
your
Fruits
;
and
the
same
Fruits
that
ever
were
brought
forth
among
the
false
Prophets
of
old
,
grow
among
you
in
many
things
I
could
instance
;
but
he
is
wholly
blind
that
sees
you
not
.
Before
thou
wast
accusing
us
of
drinking
water
,
and
now
thou
accusest
us
of
walking
after
our
own
lusts
;
but
such
is
thy
confusion
,
thy
wrath
overcomes
sense
.
Then
thou
speaks
of
some
who
told
thee
to
thy
face
,
thou
usedst
conjuration
and
witchcraft
,
because
what
thou
preachedst
was
according
to
Scriptures
,
&c.
To
which
I
say
,
Let
the
guilty
be
reproved
,
for
we
deny
thy
Accusation
to
be
true
upon
any
of
the
Quakers
,
which
some
may
think
thou
speakst
of
;
so
thy
Accusation
rests
between
thee
and
them
,
and
we
are
clear
;
for
every
Truth
which
the
Scriptures
bear
witness
of
,
we
do
own
,
and
do
not
condemn
any
for
preaching
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
Then
the
next
thing
I
observe
,
is
thy
crying
so
loud
against
Christ
within
,
which
indeed
is
the
only
thing
,
without
which
there
is
no
Salvation
;
for
,
Except
Christ
be
in
you
,
you
are
Reprobates
.
And
this
also
I
observe
from
thee
,
as
having
traced
thy
path
unto
the
end
,
and
numbred
thy
work
into
a
total
sum
,
which
is
a
secret
smiting
and
obscure
shooting
against
the
Manifestation
or
Belief
of
Christ
within
,
which
there
can
be
no
Salvation
without
,
as
I
have
proved
;
and
in
words
only
I
find
thee
exalting
Christ
without
,
and
worshipping
the
name
of
(
Mary
)
like
the
Pope
,
I
have
good
ground
so
to
judge
.
And
whereas
thou
callest
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
within
false
Opinions
,
and
take●●
in
hand
to
discover
it
,
as
in
Page
203.
I
say
to
all
honest
men
,
who
have
but
any
knowledge
of
the
Letter
of
the
Scripture
,
thou
art
hereby
sufficiently
discovered
,
who
callst
the
chief
thing
,
which
is
the
chief
unto
Salvation
,
and
without
which
can
be
none
,
false
Opinions
;
God
shall
judge
thee
,
thou
wicked
heart
;
and
much
more
I
need
not
say
,
but
shall
leave
this
to
the
view
of
any
that
are
honest
to
judge
;
so
have
gone
through
thy
Book
,
and
passed
by
many
things
;
only
I
have
spoken
to
that
in
which
thou
hast
treated
any
thing
upon
us
;
and
the
Truth
I
have
cleared
from
many
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
thy
Vail
of
false
Reproaches
is
rent
,
and
our
Innocency
doth
partly
appear
,
and
thy
vail
of
Hypocrisie
is
a
little
removed
,
and
thy
deceitfull
heart
weighed
and
seen
:
And
as
for
the
rest
of
thy
Book
whicg
I
have
not
medled
with
,
thus
much
I
say
of
it
,
I
suppose
you
will
confess
it
was
all
given
forth
by
one
spirit
,
and
it
is
proved
some
of
it
is
given
forth
by
a
lying
spirit
;
then
let
the
Reader
judge
what
the
rest
of
it
can
be
;
though
the
words
be
true
,
yet
is
thy
spirit
false
,
and
at
the
best
,
what
thou
hast
said
,
is
but
bearing
false
witness
(
as
to
thy self
)
of
a
true
thing
;
I
own
the
words
,
and
I
deny
the
voice
;
and
here
I
deal
plainly
with
thee
.
Thou
then
askst
a
Question
;
Doth
not
the
Scripture
speak
of
Christ
within
?
unto
which
I
further
add
,
answer
it
as
thou
canst
.
Doth
not
the
Scripture
say
,
Christ
is
within
except
you
be
Reprobates
?
And
is
not
this
thus
much
;
all
are
reprobate
but
they
in
whom
Christ
is
within
?
Answer
i●
plainness
,
and
darken
not
knowledge
by
words
without
wisdom
.
And
towards
the
end
I
find
thee
making
up
the
sum
of
thy
wickedness
with
this
,
numbring
the
Quakers
with
Ranters
,
Sin
,
Death
,
and
the
Devil
:
I
will
not
bring
a
railing
Accusation
against
thee
;
but
the
Lord
rebuke
thee
thou
unclean
spirit
,
who
hast
falsly
accused
the
Innocent
to
clear
thy self
from
guilt
;
but
at
thy
door
guilt
lodges
,
and
I
leave
it
with
thee
;
clear
thy self
if
thou
art
able
.
And
thy
wicked
Reproaches
we
patiently
bear
,
till
the
Lord
appear
for
us
:
and
we
are
not
greater
then
our
Lord
,
who
was
said
to
have
a
Devil
by
thy
Generation
;
and
their
measure
of
wickedness
thou
fulfils
,
and
art
one
of
the
Dragons
Army
,
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
;
and
thy
Weapons
are
Slanders
,
and
thy
Refuge
is
Lyes
,
and
thy
work
is
confused
,
and
hath
hardly
gained
a
name
in
Babylons
Record
;
and
by
us
(
so
much
of
it
at
least
as
is
against
us
)
is
cast
by
as
our
spoiled
prey
,
and
trampled
upon
in
all
thy
reproachfull
speeches
,
who
art
unclean
,
and
of
more
price
to
us
is
thy
hatred
and
envy
,
then
thy
love
can
be
,
except
the
g●und
were
better
in
which
you
stand
.
Now
a
few
words
I
may
write
in
Answer
to
the
Queries
in
the
end
of
thy
Book
,
which
thou
directst
thus
Some
Questions
to
the
Quakers
,
or
a
few
Queries
to
those
possessed
with
a
Spirit
of
delusion
in
this
Generation
.
Question
1.
If
(
sayst
thou
)
that
every
man
hath
a
measure
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
within
him
;
why
say
the
Scriptures
,
That
some
are
sensual
,
having
not
the
Spirit
,
a●●
Christ
saith
,
The
World
cannot
receive
it
?
John
14.
Answ.
Some
men
are
sensual
,
and
have
not
the
Spirit
,
because
they
received
it
not
,
&
some
cannot
receive
it
,
because
they
believe
not
in
him
from
whence
it
comes
,
yet
is
the
measure
of
the
Spirit
given
unto
every
man
to
profit
withal
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
.
And
it
is
given
to
within
him
,
to
reprove
him
of
sin
,
but
few
do
receive
it
;
and
when
thou
canst
learn
to
distinguish
between
a
thing
being
given
,
and
a
receiving
of
such
a
thing
,
then
thou
mayst
be
answered
in
thy self
.
It
is
one
thing
in
God
to
give
the
Spirit
,
and
another
thing
in
the
Creature
to
receive
it
:
He
gives
it
to
many
that
receive
it
not
,
to
follow
it
and
to
be
guided
by
it
:
thus
far
I
answer
,
and
let
them
that
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
Delusion
answer
thee
further
.
Qu.
2.
What
is
the
Church
of
God
redeemed
by
,
from
under
the
Law
;
is
it
by
something
that
is
done
within
them
,
or
by
something
done
without
them
?
If
it
be
redeemed
by
something
that
worketh
in
them
,
then
why
did
the
man
Christ
Iesus
hang
upon
the
Cross
in
Mount
Calvery
,
without
the
Gates
of
Jerusalem
,
for
the
sins
of
his
People
,
and
why
do
the
Scriptures
say
,
That
through
this
man
is
preached
unto
us
forgiveness
of
sins
?
&c.
Answ.
The
Church
of
God
is
redeemed
by
Christ
Jesus
,
which
is
revealed
within
all
that
believe
;
and
Christ
Jesus
wrought
in
them
mightily
,
and
it
was
he
that
wrought
in
them
to
will
and
to
do
;
this
is
plain
according
to
Scripture
.
And
the
man
Christ
Jesus
was
hanged
upon
the
Cross
on
Mount
Calvery
,
because
they
wickedly
judged
him
to
be
a
Blasphemer
,
and
through
their
envy
persecuted
him
to
death
,
because
he
bore
witness
against
them
;
and
as
in
their
account
he
died
,
and
hanged
upon
the
Cross
for
an
Evil-doer
,
and
this
is
one
ground
(
at
least
)
why
he
hanged
upon
the
Cross
;
and
the
Scriptures
say
,
That
through
this
man
is
preached
the
forgiveness
of
sins
,
because
there
is
no
other
that
can
forgive
sin
,
nor
the
blood
of
any
other
thing
that
can
take
away
sin
;
but
the
Blood
of
God
,
as
it
is
written
.
And
thus
far
I
answer
:
If
thou
wilt
have
more
,
seek
it
from
them
who
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
Delusion
.
Qu.
3.
What
Scripture
have
you
to
prove
that
Christ
is
,
or
was
crucified
within
you
,
risen
within
you
,
ascended
within
you
?
Answ.
There
is
no
Scriptures
that
mention
any
one
of
our
particular
names
;
and
thy
Query
is
raised
from
thy
mis-understanding
of
us
,
so
I
judge
;
but
Christ
is
within
us
,
that
we
dare
not
deny
;
and
he
is
the
Lamb
that
was
slain
in
the
streets
of
the
great
City
,
which
is
spiritually
called
Sodom
and
Aegypt
,
(
mind
spiritually
)
and
he
is
now
risen
,
and
ascended
,
this
we
know
through
Faith
in
his
Name
:
And
I
leave
thee
to
receive
a
fuller
Answer
from
them
that
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
Delusion
(
if
they
will
give
it
thee
.
)
Qu.
4.
Is
that
very
man
that
was
crucified
on
Mount
Calvery
,
between
two
Thieves
,
whose
Name
is
Iesus
,
the
Son
of
Mary
,
is
he
the
very
Christ
of
God
,
ye
or
nay
?
Answ.
Yea
,
he
is
the
very
Christ
of
God
,
which
was
before
the
World
was
,
by
whom
the
World
was
made
,
who
was
made
manifest
from
Mary's
womb
,
and
was
persecuted
to
death
by
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
in
whose
steps
thou
treadst
,
in
asking
subtil
Queries
to
insnare
the
Innocent
,
as
they
did
;
read
thy
Example
,
and
thy self
to
be
an
Enemy
to
the
Christ
of
God
.
Qu.
5.
Is
that
very
Man
,
with
that
very
Body
,
within
you
,
yea
or
nay
?
Answ.
The
very
Christ
of
God
is
within
us
,
we
dare
not
deny
him
;
and
we
are
Members
of
his
Body
,
and
of
his
Flesh
,
and
of
his
Bone
,
as
the
Ephesians
were
:
They
that
are
led
by
a
spirit
of
Delusion
shall
answer
the
rest
of
this
thy
Query
,
if
they
will
.
Qu.
6.
Was
that
very
Iesus
that
was
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
a
real
man
of
Flesh
and
Bones
,
after
his
Resurrection
from
the
dead
,
out
of
Josephs
Sepulchre
,
ye
or
nay
?
for
the
Scrpiture
saith
he
was
,
and
if
so
,
then
did
that
Man
go
away
from
his
Disciples
,
and
not
into
them
in
his
Body
,
as
the
Scriptures
declare
?
or
did
he
with
that
Body
of
Flesh
go
into
his
Disciples
,
as
some
fond
Dreamers
think
?
Answ.
What
the
Scriptures
speak
of
Christ
we
own
to
be
truth
,
and
own
him
to
be
what
the
Scriptures
speak
of
him
,
and
all
mens
imaginations
of
him
we
deny
,
and
their
fals●
interpretations
of
the
Scriptures
concerning
him
;
and
let
the
fond
Dreamers
who
are
in
their
thoughts
be
reproved
;
for
we
dare
own
nothing
to
be
truth
but
what
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
bear●
witness
of
according
to
the
Scripture
,
thus
far
I
anwer
in
behalf
of
the
Quakers
;
let
them
who
are
led
with
the
spirit
of
Delusion
answer
the
rest
which
concerns
themselves
.
Qu.
7.
Hath
that
Christ
that
was
with
God
the
Father
before
the
World
was
,
no
other
Body
but
his
Church
,
if
you
say
no
,
as
it
is
your
wonted
course
?
Then
again
I
aske
you
,
What
was
that
in
which
he
did
bear
the
sins
of
his
Chrildren
;
if
you
say
it
was
his
own
Body
on
the
Tree
,
then
I
ask
you
,
whether
that
Body
in
which
he
did
bear
our
sins
,
was
,
or
is
the
Church
of
God
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
Again
if
you
say
he
hath
no
Body
but
his
Church
,
then
I
ask
,
what
that
was
that
was
taken
down
from
the
Cross
,
&
c
?
Answ.
In
this
thou
hast
not
only
queried
,
but
Slandered
;
therefore
first
thy
Slander
I
do
remove
,
It
is
not
our
wonted
course
to
say
,
that
Christ
hath
no
other
Body
but
his
Church
;
thou
art
herein
as
in
other
things
,
a
false
Accuser
,
but
we
say
the
Church
is
Christ's
Body
:
And
it
is
sufficient
for
Salvation
to
know
Christ
Jesus
to
be
head
in
us
,
and
over
us
,
and
our selves
to
be
Members
of
his
Body
,
and
what
thou
intendst
by
making
so
many
foldings
in
one
Query
;
it
may
be
judged
is
to
insnare
,
and
in
that
thou
answerest
thy self
for
us
in
somthing
,
that
thou
mayst
have
a
further
ground
to
lay
a
deeper
snare
;
we
do
deny
thee
,
and
thy
spirit
,
and
see
thee
to
be
only
feeding
in
thy
imaginations
upon
the
report
of
things
without
the
Life
,
and
thy
religion
stands
in
disputes
,
and
controversies
,
and
querying
,
and
many
words
;
but
our
Religion
stands
in
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
towards
God
and
towards
man
,
whether
we
speak
or
be
silent
Thus
I
have
answered
thy
Queries
,
or
so
much
of
them
as
concerns
us
;
and
as
I
have
said
,
if
thou
wilt
be
further
answered
,
go
seek
an
Answer
from
them
who
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
Delusion
,
and
let
them
answer
their
part
,
or
else
be
thou
unsatisfied
;
for
I
shall
not
answer
them
to
satisfie
thee
,
nor
I
may
not
feed
thy
Serpents
wisdom
,
nor
subtilty
,
which
cannot
receive
of
the
things
of
God
,
not
understand
a
reason
of
the
Hope
of
Christ
in
us
,
if
we
declare
it
to
thee
:
For
all
throughout
thy
Book
I
do
observe
it
is
that
which
thou
strikest
against
,
even
Christ
within
,
which
is
our
Hope
of
Glory
:
And
it
is
that
Mystery
which
long
hath
been
hid
from
Ages
and
Generations
,
but
now
is
made
manifest
and
declared
.
And
though
the
wise
of
the
World
cannot
receive
it
,
but
speak
evil
against
it
,
yet
is
it
dear
unto
us
,
and
so
much
more
precious
,
because
despised
by
such
as
thee
,
and
thy
Generation
.
And
such
things
are
a
testimony
to
us
,
and
against
you
;
and
go
thou
with
them
that
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
Delusion
,
for
you
are
one
in
Nature
,
and
the
Children
of
God
,
who
are
redeemed
,
cannot
but
deny
you
together
.
Some
few
Queries
propounded
for
John
Bunyan
to
answer
.
Query
1.
Whether
is
any
man
justified
by
Christ
Jesus
in
the
sight
of
God
,
but
he
that
follows
Christ
?
and
is
it
not
a
work
to
follow
him
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
and
what
is
the
sight
of
God
?
Qu.
2.
Whether
will
that
Faith
justifie
a
man
which
hath
no
works
,
seeing
the
Apostle
saith
,
Faith
without
works
is
dead
?
and
what
is
that
which
works
Faith
,
and
where
is
it
,
within
or
without
?
Qu.
3.
Whether
any
man
is
justified
,
but
he
who
is
born
of
God
,
and
whether
doth
he
that
is
born
of
God
commit
sin
;
and
is
that
within
the
Creature
,
or
without
him
,
which
works
the
new
Birth
?
Qu.
4.
If
Christ
hath
lightened
all
men
as
he
is
God
(
as
thou
confessest
)
then
whether
hath
he
not
lighted
all
men
as
he
is
the
Son
of
God
;
and
is
not
the
Light
of
God
sufficient
in
it self
to
lead
unto
God
,
all
that
follow
it
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
Qu.
5.
Whether
it
is
not
the
same
Light
in
him
that
hates
it
,
as
it
is
in
him
that
loves
it
,
Iohn
3.
if
there
be
a
difference
in
the
Light
,
shew
it
wherein
it
lies
,
whether
in
its
nature
,
or
otherwise
?
Qu.
6.
Whether
it
is
possible
that
any
can
be
saved
without
Christ
manifest
within
;
if
no
,
then
whether
it
is
not
the
Doctrine
of
Salvation
which
is
only
necessary
,
to
preach
Christ
within
;
and
it
is
not
the
whole
Mystery
of
Salvation
,
God
manifest
in
the
flesh
?
Qu.
7.
Whether
is
it
not
possible
that
many
may
profess
as
much
of
Christ
without
,
as
thou
hast
said
of
him
,
and
yet
be
damned
;
and
if
this
be
the
faith
to
profess
him
born
,
dead
,
risen
,
and
ascended
without
,
then
is
there
any
Unbeliever
in
England
,
seeing
all
in
the
outward
sound
believe
,
and
professe
as
much
as
thou
hast
said
,
yea
or
nay
?
Quer.

Whether
hath
that
man
faith
in
Christ
,
who
is
not
changed
in
the
Nature
?
and
is
not
the
Lyar
and
Slanderer
an
Unbeliever
,
and
of
the
cursed
Nature
,
yea
or
nay
?
Quer.

Whether
doth
any
man
receive
Christ
,
who
receives
him
not
into
him
?
if
not
,
shew
how
Christ
can
be
received
?
and
whether
many
do
not
profess
him
,
which
never
received
him
?
Quer.

Whether
to
preach
for
Hire
,
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
to
Divine
for
Money
,
and
to
make
Merchandise
of
People
,
for
so
much
a
year
for
preaching
to
them
,
is
not
true
Marks
and
Signs
of
a
false
Prophet
,
or
can
any
give
truer
Signs
of
the
false
Prophets
,
then
Isaiah
,
and
Micah
gave
yea
or
nay
?
Quer.
11.
Whether
must
not
the
Devil
be
chained
before
Christ
reign
?
and
what
is
that
which
chains
him

and
whether
art
thou
come

Whether
dost

any
Christ

any
Christ
,
who
hath
not
lighned
every
man
that

with
the
true
Light
of
Life

of
Condemnation

he
not
a
Deceiver
that
exhorts
People
for
Salvation
to
any
other
thing
then
the
Light
of
Christ
,
yea
or
nay
?
And
how
hath
Christ
enlightened
every
man
in
the
World
,
if
not
within
him
?
These
Queries
,
with
some
more
in
my
Answer
,
I
put
forth
to
thee
,
that
Truth
may
be
cleared
from
all
Slanders
of
envious
tongues
,
and
shall
leave
my
work
and
thine
to
be
weighed
in
the
Ballance
of
Righteousness
,
to
be
considered
of
by
every
honest
heart
to
whom
they
do
come
,
and
God
shall
be
the
chief
Judge
betwixt
us
in
his
day
.
A
Postscript
.
ANd
now
seeing
we
have
taken
in
hand
to
discover
and
lay
open
the
deceits
of
Deceivers
,
that
all
men
may
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
and
be
saved
,
and
led
out
of
the
snare
of
the
crafty
Fowlers
;
these
things
further
we
shall
add
,
which
are
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
of
the
true
Gospel
.
First
,
Iohn
Burton
said
in
a
Discourse
with
some
Friends
,
That
Christ
had
two
Bodies
,
and
one
of
the
Bodies
was
out
of
the
sight
of
the
Saints
.
Secondly
,
Iohn
Bunyon
said
,
Christ's
second
coming
〈◊〉
not
his
coming
in
Spirit
,
for
his
coming
in
Spirit
is
no
comming
.
Thirdly
,
Iohn
Bunyon
said
upon
,
Discourse
,
Of
the
Word
of
God
being
in
the
heart
,
in
the
presence
of
divers
People
,
That
there
was
nothing
in
him
,
nor
in
any
man
to
be
taken
notice
of
.
Fourthly
,
One
of
their
Brethren
said
,
That
Christ
and
the
Word
of
Life
were
two
things
.
Fifthly
,
Some
others
of
the
same
Members
,
in
the
Market
of
Bedford
said
,
That
they
scorned
that
Light
which
we
(
meaning
the
Quakers
)
speak
of
,
which
is
the
Light
that
convinceth
of
sin
,
which
Light
they
confessed
to
be
in
every
man
,
in
the
same
discourse
which
was
with
some
of
them
called
Quakers
.
Much
need
not
be
said
as
to
the
laying
open
of
these
particulars
,
for
by
the
words
themselves
the
wickedness
and
ignorance
of
the
broachers
of
them
are
fully
seen
,
to
every
one
who
is
spiritual
,
and
to
them
I
leave
this
to
be
judged
;
onely
this
I
shall
further
say
,
They
have
not
spoken
onely
that
which
cannot
be
proved
by
Scriptures
,
but
some
of
the
particulars
are
also
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
are
damnable
Doctrines
of
Devils
,
as
might
be
largly
laid
open
,
in
the
third
and
fifth
particulars
.
But
I
delight
not
in
raking
in
such
unsavory
Stuff
,
but
do
trample
over
it
,
and
return
it
to
the
Authors
.
Having
summed
up
their
Wickedness
into
a
Sum
,
I
leave
it
for
to
be
weighed
by
themselves
and
others
;
and
if
any
question
the
truth
of
the
particulars
charged
against
them
,
sufficient
Testimony
may
be
given
by
such
who
were
●a●
Witnesses
.
By
one
who
hath
chosen
rather
to
suffer
affliction
with
the
despised
People
,
then
to
enjoy
the
pleasures
of
sin
,
EDWARD
BURROUGH
.
Stablishing
Against
Quaking
Thrown
down
and
overturned
,
and
no
Defence
found
against
it
.
Or
an
Answer
to
a
Book
(
called
,
Stablishing
against
Quaking
)
put
forth
by
Giles
Firmin
,
a
professed
Minister
in
Essex
.
WHEREIN
His
many
Lyes
,
and
Slanders
are
rebuked
and
witnessed
against
;
and
all
his
thirteen
Arguments
confounded
,
and
clearly
confuted
;
and
he
manifestly
proved
a
false
Prophet
in
several
particulars
;
as
in
his
Call
and
Maintenance
:
And
while
he
hath
thought
to
discover
the
Prince
of
Darkness
in
others
,
he
is
found
secretly
lodging
in
his
own
house
,
and
powerfully
working
in
him
;
and
is
found
truly
guilty
himself
of
that
whereof
he
falsly
accuseth
the
innocent
People
,
called
Quakers
,
who
are
Gods
faithful
Witnesses
,
against
this
subtil
Generation
,
though
for
a
moment
they
are
a
Prey
to
the
seed
of
Evil-doers
,
and
a
Reproach
to
lying
Tongues
.
THe
Lord
from
Heaven
,
in
this
his
day
,
is
risen
and
come
forth
,
to
make
War
with
all
his
Enemies
,
being
the
fulness
of
time
,
wherein
his
purpose
is
to
cut
down
,
and
destroy
the
man
of
sin
,
by
the
power
of
his
coming
;
and
he
must
reign
,
whose
right
it
is
;
and
of
his
Kingdom
and
Government
there
shall
be
no
end
,
and
Nations
shall
flow
into
it
,
and
Kings
shall
lay
down
their
Crowns
at
his
Feet
,
whom
God
hath
appointed
to
exalt
in
his
Throne
of
Righteousness
and
Judgment
;
and
the
war
is
proclaimed
in
his
Name
,
&
the
Standard
of
the
Lord
is
set
up
before
him
,
to
gather
together
the
Nations
,
to
fan
them
and
to
try
them
;
and
to
search
and
to
seek
out
his
own
,
where
they
have
been
scattered
in
the
cloudy
and
dark
day
,
and
a
prey
made
upon
them
,
by
every
wild
Beast
of
the
Mountain
:
But
the
Lord
hath
opened
his
Ear
to
the
cry
of
the
Just
,
and
his
Bowels
are
filled
with
compassion
,
towards
the
Seed
of
his
Inheritance
,
whom
no
man
regardeth
to
take
pity
upon
,
but
are
altogether
hardened
in
their
iniquities
,
and
become
equal
with
the
Oppressor
;
therefore
in
Judgment
is
the
Lord
appearing
,
to
work
the
purpose
of
his
Heart
,
and
to
fulfil
the
intent
of
his
Mind
,
and
will
not
spare
to
punish
the
transgression
of
the
wicked
upon
his
own
head
;
and
is
already
clothed
with
the
Garments
of
Vengeance
,
and
clad
with
Zeal
as
with
a
Cloak
,
and
hath
proclaimed
Indignation
in
the
face
of
the
Ungodly
;
and
his
Enemies
,
against
whom
his
wrath
is
kindled
,
is
joyning
battel
with
him
;
and
Gog
and
Magog
is
prepared
,
to
resist
the
day
of
Recompence
;
and
the
whole
body
of
Darkness
,
from
the
head
to
the
tayl
is
risen
to
gainsay
the
Lord
,
and
strive
in
confusion
together
;
and
their
armour
clashes
one
against
another
,
and
they
over-run
each
other
,
through
the
confusion
of
their
blind
understanding
,
and
they
will
not
be
perswaded
unto
Reconciliation
,
but
goes
on
in
rebellion
till
they
be
left
without
strength
,
as
a
wounded
man
,
who
shall
never
more
vise
again
,
nor
recover
his
deadly
blow
;
for
the
strength
of
Aegypt
shall
fail
in
the
midst
of
it
,
and
the
Warrier
finds
not
his
hand
in
the
day
of
his
necessity
,
but
terror
is
upon
his
loynes
,
and
fearfulness
in
his
heart
,
and
the
wrath
remains
upon
him
;
and
wisdom
is
become
madness
,
and
prudence
is
hid
,
and
the
wise
men
of
this
Generation
are
become
foolish
,
What
do
ye
mean
?
Ye
that
have
gathered
your selves
together
,
all
ye
Sects
and
Opinions
,
and
ye
that
profess
the
Law
of
Righteousness
,
Is
your
Religion
turned
into
Envy
and
Wrath
,
whereby
you
would
slay
the
Upright
?
You
have
made
Lyes
your
refuge
,
as
your
last
defence
to
cover
your selves
from
the
Storm
;
but
your
City
is
besieged
,
and
fear
shall
compass
you
about
,
and
the
refuge
of
Lyes
shall
be
swept
away
▪
For
,
in
vain
,
and
to
no
purpose
do
men
strive
against
the
Lord
,
and
without
effect
(
as
to
that
which
they
intend
)
do
they
gather
themselves
together
,
and
band
themselves
in
deaths
covenant
,
to
war
against
the
Lamb
;
for
the
more
you
strive
the
more
you
are
entangled
and
the
deeper
your
pit
is
digged
for
another
,
the
greater
is
your
own
fall
into
it
;
for
the
purpose
of
your
hearts
;
and
the
intent
of
your
wicked
minds
doth
the
Lord
make
void
,
and
turneth
them
upon
your
own
head
;
and
strongly
are
you
bound
in
your
own
snare
,
which
you
secretly
lay
for
the
foot
of
the
Innocent
,
to
make
the
Upright
a
prey
.
How
long
ye
men
of
the
Earth
will
ye
〈◊〉
counsel
together
against
the
Lord
?
How
long
shall
the
Righteous
be
a
prey
to
your
teeth
,
to
shoot
your
Arrows
of
Cruelty
and
Reproach
against
?
When
will
you
give
over
your
Oppression
,
and
Violence
,
wherewith
you
think
to
spoil
the
tender
Grape
of
the
Lords
Vintage
,
and
to
devour
the
Seed
of
Iacob
from
off
the
Earth
,
that
you
may
rule
in
the
kingdom
in
peace
?
When
will
you
be
weary
〈◊〉
your
wickedness
,
and
cease
from
your
deceivings
,
seeing
the
Lord
makes
you
a
Curse
in
whatsoever
you
take
in
hand
?
You
travel
in
wrath
,
and
bring
forth
nothing
;
you
strive
all
the
day
long
,
and
gather
nothing
but
stubble
,
and
the
fire
kindles
upon
it
,
and
makes
it
a
heap
of
Confusion
in
a
moment
▪
When
will
you
learn
wisdom
,
and
refrain
your selves
from
vanity
?
Do
you
think
to
persist
in
the
way
wherein
you
walk
?
can
you
overcome
the
Lamb
?
or
can
you
bring
to
nought
the
purpose
of
the
Most
High
?
Will
you
make
your selves
equal
with
him
,
and
will
ye
gainsay
the
working
of
his
Power
?
Nay
,
you
shall
fall
into
everlasting
confusion
,
and
the
remembrance
of
your
destruction
shall
not
suddenly
pass
away
:
for
the
purpose

the
Lord
shall
surely
stand
,

his
Counsel

Long

no

Fire

is
kindled

And
unto
thee
Giles
Firmin
I
do
write
a
few
words
,
in
answer
to
thy
Book
,
caled
,
Stablishing
against
Quaking
;
who
hast
helped
up
the
measure
to
fulfil
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
in
adding
thy
Lyes
,
and
Slanders
,
and
Reproaches
unto
thy
Brethren
,
and
hast
cast
in
thy
Mite
into
the
heap
of
Babylons
Confusion
,
and
●ast
set
thy
seal
against
the
Lord's
People
,
and
hast
put
to
thy
hand
in
the
record
of
Sions
Enemies
;
Whom
do
you
thus
strive
against
?
And
against
whom
is
your
●ury
thus
kindled
?
What
are
you
doing
in
your
drunken
fits
of
fury
,
wherein
you
stagger
with
the
wine
of
Envy
?
Surely
when
you
are
sober
you
will
consider
,
●nd
when
you
are
come
to
your selves
you
will
be
ashamed
,
and
will
not
open
any
more
your
malice
and
wrath
which
hath
drownded
your
honesty
and
civility
;
and
●n
your
knowledge
you
are
as
bruit
Beasts
,
which
are
to
be
destroyed
;
you
do
but
ga●her
your selves
together
that
you
may
be
scattered
and
broken
to
peices
;
you
are
●uffered
to
heap
up
your
confusion
,
in
Lyes
and
Reproaches
,
that
the
Lord
may
make
you
ashamed
,
and
judge
you
out
of
your
own
mouths
.
And
Friend
,
what
hast
thou
done
,
and
who
hast
thou
established
?
the
wicked
●n
his
wickedness
,
and
the
unclean
in
his
filthiness
,
and
hast
hardened
the
hearts
of
the
ungodly
by
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
least
they
should
turn
from
their
ungod●iness
,
and
be
saved
from
their
sins
,
and
so
against
quaking
for
transgression
hast
●hou
stablished
them
herein
;
and
this
will
be
laid
to
thy
charge
in
the
Day
of
●he
Lord
,
who
healest
up
the
Wound
slightly
,
and
criest
Peace
,
Peace
to
the
wick●d
,
unto
whom
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
Peace
:
And
Friend
,
thou
art
the
man
●n
whom
the
Prince
of
Darkness
is
discovered
,
which
now
works
in
thee
,
and
●rom
him
hast
thou
sent
forth
thy
pack
of
Reproaches
against
the
Innocent
,
and
●leadest
thy
own
cause
,
and
judgest
hereof
in
the
sight
of
men
,
and
hast
sought
●he
praise
of
men
,
and
not
the
Praise
of
God
;
and
so
seek
to
obtain
a
good
re●ort
by
flattery
,
and
not
by
faith
;
and
this
sufficiently
appears
in
thy
first
E●istle
,
wherein
thou
hast
given
flattering
Titles
unto
man
,
and
in
vain
hypocri●ie
hast
fought
a
proof
to
the
authority
of
thy
Book
,
thinking
thereby
the
more
●o
make
it
of
force
to
do
the
work
,
which
thou
intendest
by
it
;
even
to
●oyson
the
simplicity
of
the
Upright
,
and
to
devour
the
woman
which
brings
●orth
the
Man-Child
,
by
casting
floods
of
evil
Speeches
and
Lyes
after
her
,
but
●hy
flatteries
are
of
no
worth
to
thee
,
nor
thy
subtil
words
of
guile
availeth
thee
●ot
herein
;
for
in
the
Light
thou
art
seen
,
and
by
it
tried
,
and
thy
snare
which
●hou
,
hast
laid
will
fetter
thy
own
foot
,
and
the
mischief
thou
intendest
is
fallen
●pon
thy
own
head
,
and
whilst
thou
hast
thought
to
discover
the
Prince
of
Darkness
in
another
,
thou
hast
covered
and
cloaked
him
in
thy self
,
under
thy
feigned
words
of
flattery
;
but
through
that
vail
he
is
seen
,
and
unto
all
men
shall
be
made
manifest
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
doth
judge
him
,
and
thy
Rock
of
flattery
shall
not
cover
thee
from
the
Wrath
of
him
,
whom
thou
hast
set
thy self
to
oppose
.
And
in
thy
second
Epistle
thou
sayest
,
Thou
madest
one
Sermon
,
to
discover
this
Generation
(
meaning
the
Quakers
)
and
thou
,
sayst
thou
,
found
good
success
of
it
.
Friend
,
thou
hast
more
fully
discovered
thy self
,
and
that
abommation
which
lodged
in
thy
heart
secretly
,
which
thou
hast
not
let
out
into
open
view
,
then
thou
hast
in
the
least
measure
discovered
us
,
or
detected
us
,
or
justly
reproved
us
,
in
Doctrine
or
Conversation
to
be
contrary
to
the
Saints
in
Generations
past
,
who
are
our
cloud
of
Witnesses
,
as
being
guided
by
the
same
Spirit
according
to
the
measure
as
we
have
received
;
but
this
is
rather
a
discovery
to
all
the
Upright
that
were
of
God
,
because
we
are
spoken
all
manner
of
evil
of
,
falsly
by
thee
and
thy
Generation
,
who
are
sufficiently
proved
in
all
your
wayes
and
worships
,
to
be
of
the
Generation
of
them
that
ever
persecuted
the
righteous
Seed
of
God
:
And
as
for
the
success
,
thou
hast
found
little
profit
thereof
,
for
the
Judgments
and
Wrath
of
God
will
succeed
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
;
and
this
shalt
thou
find
,
and
they
that
are
deceived
by
thee
shall
perish
together
,
and
this
will
be
the
reward
of
thy
duty
,
which
thou
sayest
called
upon
thee
now
to
speak
.
And
seven
of
thy
first
Pages
hast
thou
filled
in
pleading
for
thy
own
kingdom
,
and
unjustly
justifiing
thy
own
cause
,
in
Preaching
for
Hire
,
and
in
Divining
for
Money
,
and
in
seeing
for
thy
Gain
from
thy
Quarter
,
false
Prophet
like
;
it
well
appears
that
sometime
thou
hast
been
bit
upon
thy
sore
,
and
searched
where
thy
guilt
hath
lodged
,
and
now
thou
hast
endeavoured
to
heal
up
the
wound
,
and
cure
thy self
,
and
hast
brought
many
arguments
,
and
hast
sought
to
clear
thy self
by
guile
〈◊〉
not
by
innocency
;
and
hast
gathered
many
Scriptures
together
,
which
as
th●
supposest
might
make
for
thy
purpose
herein
by
preaching
of
them
:
How
f●…
wouldst
thou
blind
the
eye
of
the
Simple
,
that
thou
mightst
alwayes
act
thy
ab●
mination
,
and
not
be
seen
;
and
even
as
Satan
brought
Scripture
against
Chri●●
so
hast
thou
against
the
Truth
,
and
to
uphold
thy
iniquity
.
Thou
sayest
,
It
is
the
great
clamour
of
the
Quakers

that
you

because
you
Preach
for
Hire
;
Divine
for
Money
,
and
are
Covetous
,
&c.
This
is
true
,
and
I
will
add
much
more
,
which
thou
hast
spared
,
You
are
greedy
dumb
Dogs
,
and
can
never
have
enough
,
every
one
of
you
seeking
for
yo●
Gain
from
your

and
through
Coveteousness
make

of

and
make

feed

your selves

and
cry

Peace

to

prepare

are

love
the
Wages

go

Much
more
also
is
true
upon

according

for

the

so
that
all

thee

,
who
have

some
of
them
,
said

as
thou
canst
say

in

particular
;
but
Truth
stands
unmoveable

and
you

altogether
discovered

made

and
your

thy
answer
to
this
which
thou
callest
,
The
Quakers
clamour
.
Thou
sayest
,
False
Teachers
may

have
preached
freely

then
be
sure
free
Te●…
could
not
prove
you
to

&c.
Reply
,
Thou
and
this
Generation
of
Teachers
exceed
such
in
abominati●●
who
have
not
yet
so
far
transformed
your selves
like
unto
true
Ministers
,
as
〈◊〉
teach
freely
;
and
your
condemnation
will
be
the
greater
,
insomuch
as
you
exc●…
them
in
wickedness
;
and
it
is
confessed
,
that
free
Teaching
would
not
prove
〈◊〉
to
be
true
Minsters
,
for
you
are
false
,
and
deceitful
in
every
account
,
and
〈◊〉
nisters
of
Antichrist
,
under
many
considerations
more
then
one
;
as
in
your
Ca●…
and
Worship
,
and
many
other
things
:
And
thus
thou
hast
laid
open
thy
own
〈◊〉
ly
,
that
thou
mayest
be
judged
out
of
thy
own
mouth
.
For
in
the
Margent
th●
sayest
,
The
Quakers
teach
not
freely
,
for
at
one
Town
thou
hearest
,
that
one
of
the
Qu●kers
had
about
five
Pound
gathered
for
him
.
Friend
,
This
is
a
Slander
and
a
false
Accusation
,
and
thou
hast
heard
and
believed
a
Lye
(
if
not
made
a
Lye
)
and
thy
Lyes
will
be
no
refuge
for
thee
in
〈◊〉
Day
of
the
Lord
;
for
I
testifie
against
them
and
thee
,
and
him
to
be
no
Qu●●●
who
acted
such
a
thing
,
if
any
such
was
acted
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
draw●
many
vain
conclusions
and
arguments
to
no
purpose
;
and
bringest
the
Scriptu●●
2
Cor.
11.
8
,
9.
and
thinkest
this
for
thy
purpose
,
because
of
the
word
(
W●ges
)
and
now
boastest
as
though
thou
hadst
overcome
;
but
all
this
will
not
clear
th●
from
guilt
,
nor
prove
thee
to
be
a
Minister
of
Christ
;
he
reaped
where
he
had
sow●
,
and
not
of
the
World
;
he
eat
the
Milk
of
the
Flock
,
and
did
not
by
a
Law
co●
pel
People
to
pay
him
,
as
thy
Generation
doth
;
neither
was
he
chargeable
to
any
,
as
you
are
,
but
made
the
Gospel
of
Christ
free
;
and
used
not
his
liberty
in
the●●
things
,
but
you
go
beyond
the
liberty
of
equity
,
and
by
a
Law
obtain
your
Maintenance
,
oppressing
the
Poor
to
make
your selves
rich
;
living
in
Pride
,
Idleness
,
and
Fulness
;
but
Paul
did
not
thus
,
but
was
in
Cold
,
Hunger
,
and
Nakedness
;
and
the
Wages
he
took
was
not
to
do
himself
service
,
but
them
,
as
it
is
evident
▪
So
Pauls
example
herein
will
not
cloak
thy
filthiness
,
nor
cover
thy
shame
;
hewas
a
Minister
of
the
Spirit
,
and
did
sow
spiritual
things
,
and
was
no
Hireling
,
as
the
false
Prophets
,
who
through
coveteousness
made
merchandise
of
souls
;
and
this
is
thy
example
,
and
not
the
practise
of
Paul
,
whom
thou
wouldst
fain
make
like
●nto
thy self
;
but
he
is
justified
,
and
thou
art
condemned
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
whose
work
is
not
of
his
nature
;
he
gave
freely
and
might
reap
where
he
sowed
;
but
thou
makest
a
Covenant
to
reap
before
thou
sowest
,
and
sowest
not
,
and
so
deceives
the
People
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
We
provide
for
our selves
(
when
we
wander
up
and
down
)
men
must
provide
us
Lodging
,
Food
,
&c.
Are
not
People
bound
to
provide
for
you
,
as
well
as
to
entertain
us
,
&c.
Thou
alwayes
pleadest
thy
own
cause
,
and
so
hadst
thou
need
;
for
the
Children
of
God
cannot
plead
for
thee
,
but
testifie
against
thee
:
It
is
Christ's
Doctrine
,
Into
whatsoever
House
ye
enter
,
eat
such
things
as
are
set
before
you
;
but
it
was
never
his
Doctrine
,
Take
so
much
by
the
year
;
and
if
they
will
give
you
such
a
Sum
,
preach
to
them
;
this
is
the
Doctrine
,
Way
,
and
Wages
of
Balaam
,
in
which
thou
art
found
.
Many
other
Scriptures
dost
thou
wrest
,
and
many
a
vain
Argument
dost
thou
make
unto
this
purpose
.
And
thou
sayest
,
He
that
will
be
a
Minister
indeed
,
will
say
,
He
findeth
all
little
enough
.
For
shame
cover
thy
Lips
,
and
stop
thy
Mouth
;
thy
stuff
stinks
with
raking
in
,
who
sayest
,
That
men
cannot
be
sufficient
Ministers
without
Arts
,
and
such
poor
blind
stuff
,
of
which
I
am
ashamed
,
and
pass
by
it
as
not
worth
the
mentioning
.
Then
thou
goest
on
in
the
matter
of
Tythes
,
seeing
the
Rule
and
Law
of
Scripture
will
not
fully
bear
thee
out
in
thy
wicked
practise
of
pleading
for
Hire
;
〈…〉
goest
to
the
Law
of
the
Nation
,
and
so
the
Gospel
which
you
preach
will
not
ma●…n
you
according
to
the
Apostles
Doctrine
;
but
by
a
Law
are
maintained
,
through
the
grievous
oppression
of
the
Innocent
,
as
is
witnessed
in
this
Nation
;
and
thou
art
put
to
all
thy
shifts
,
though
but
beggarly
some
of
them
,
to
blind
Peoples
eyes
,
so
that
you
may
have
your
Hire
;
and
in
thy
Arguments
thou
pleadest
,
That
Tythes
are
no
mans
own
,
but
the
Ministers
,
&c.
But
I
say
,
if
poor
men
did
not
labour
,
and
improve
their
time
,
and
strength
,
and
money
,
you
could
have
no
Tythes
;
so
that
if
the
Land
was
not
tilled
through
poor
Peoples
labours
you
might
go
without
;
so
Tythes
are
not
paid
out
of
the
Land
,
but
out
of
mens
labours
thereupon
;
and
so
you
rob
poor
mens
labours
,
and
not
the
Land
,
that
you
may
live
in
filthiness
.
And
thou
sayest
,
Care
is
taken
for
you
already
many
hundred
Years
before
you
were
born
,
in
setting
an
Estate
.
&c.
Yea
,
the
Pope
settled
Tythes
upon
his
Priests
,
whose
Generation
you
are
of
;
a
poor
shameless
shift
to
plead
such
things
,
leaving
the
Rule
of
the
Scripture
,
and
defending
your selves
both
in
your
Ministry
and
Maintenance
by
a
Popish
●aw
,
which
was
the
supreme
Power
in
the
Nation
when
Tythes
were
first
established
in
England
,
but
neither
the
Rule
of
Scripture
,
nor
of
the
National
Law
will
make
your
works
justified
;
all
People
shall
see
your
nakedness
,
and
God
will
make
you
ashamed
of
your
way
:
And
as
to
particular
,
Had
we
lived
in
the
primitive
Churches
,
when
the
Magistrates
were
Heathens
,
&c.
This
I
shall
answer
by
a
Question
,
Doth
not
the
works
of
some
of
the
Magistrates
in
England
(
I
do
not
say
all
)
prove
themselves
rather
to
be
Heathens
than
Christians
,
by
their
unjust
imprisoning
of
the
Innocent
without
●…ch
of
any
Law
,
and
so
to
be
rather
Destroyers
of
the
Church
(
which
is
the
Body
of
Christ
)
then
careing
to
preserve
it
,
and
also
in
giving
treble
dammage
to
the
Hirelings
for
Non-payment
,
thereby
wasting
and
making
havock
of
poor
mens
Estates
,
as
is
in
many
places
to
be
witnessed
,
and
these
are
they
who
are
most
zealous
for
you
,
some
of
them
I
leave
this
Question
to
be
answered
,
which
being
but
truly
answered
,
will
discover
whether
you
who
by
oppression
take
Tythes
,
〈…〉
●ho
o●●
of
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
cannot
pay
Tythes
,
and
so
are
Sufferers
,
and
you
Oppressors
are
Carriers
on
of
the
designs
of
Hell
and
Rome
,
as
in
thy
eleventh
Page
thou
speakest
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
So
much
for
the
Ministers
Maintenance
,
&c.
Yea
,
more
then
enough
,
but
that
thou
mightest
lay
open
thy
own
folly
,
therefore
wast
thou
allowed
,
that
thy
shame
might
be
fully
laid
open
,
and
thou
uncovered
,
who
hast
acted
thy
part
as
others
of
thy
Brethren
before
thee
,
in
pleading
your
own
unjust
cause
of
Idolatry
,
to
uphold
your
grievous
Oppression
of
Tythes
and
set
Maintenances
,
under
which
at
this
day
many
thousands
do
sadly
groan
,
and
not
pittied
by
you
;
but
though
you
regard
not
,
the
Lord
God
doth
and
will
avenge
their
Cry
upon
your
heads
,
who
have
made
your
Ministry
and
Religion
the
most
grievous
Oppression
in
this
Common-wealth
,
and
so
are
fallen
into
greater
abomination
than
the
Heathen
,
and
are
higher
than
they
in
ungodliness
,
and
deeper
in
subtilty
;
and
go
to
the
Heathens
,
and
they
will
shame
you
;
and
take
thy
own
counsel
,
and
practise
it
,
as
in
thy
tenth
Page
:
And
much
more
of
thy
stuff
I
pass
,
thus
much
is
sufficient
to
discover
thy
deceit
in
this
particular
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
from
thy
Text
thy
observation
is
this
,
It
hath
been
of
old
,
and
it
is
the
practise
still
of
the
Prince
of
Darkness
,
to
transform
himself
into
an
Angel
of
Light
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
,
It
is
proved
by
the
Scripture
,
that
it
hath
been
of
old
his
practise
,
and
it
is
proved
upon
thee
,
that
it
is
still
his
practise
;
and
thou
art
the
man
upon
whom
thy
observation
stands
true
,
who
art
in
thy
good
words
,
and
fair
speeches
,
and
pretences
,
transformed
only
in
the
appearance
,
and
not
in
the
ground
,
out
of
gross
wickedness
into
secret
hypocrisie
,
and
so
makest
an
Image
without
Life
,
and
so
as
Iannes
and
Iambres
,
art
resisting
Truth
;
yet
art
thou
seen
and
comprehended
,
though
thou
sayest
,
Satan
is
never
less
seen
then
when
he
acts
as
an
Angel
of
Light
;
which
I
suppose
thou
speakest
by
experience
,
as
being
acted
therein
,
undiscovered
to
the
Simple
,
because
of
thy
hypocrisie
.
In
thy
Page
thirteenth
,
thou
sayest
,
that
The
Scriptures
are
the
true
Light
.
Here
thy
blindeness
and
error
is
discovered
,
who
speakest
herein
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
which
saith
,
Christ
Iesus
is
the
true
Light
,
1
Iohn
9.
Here
th●●
wouldest
exalt
the
Scriptures
in
the
Seat
of
Christ
,
and
thereby
deny
him
,
in
saying
the
Scripture
is
that
which
he
only
is
,
and
nothing
else
,
(
to
wit
)
The
tr●●
Light
of
the
World
;
which
lighteneth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
;
and
the
Scriptures
are
a
Declaration
of
him
,
and
not
him
.
And
thou
goest
on
,
and
sayest
,
Because
these
Quakers

People
they
must
do
justly
,
do
no
body
wrong
,
nor
Lye
,
&c.
some
take
it
for
granted
they
come
from
Christ
,
&c.
But
this
thou
snuffest
at
,
and
makest
light
of
,
by
which
is
easily
discerned
of
what
spirit
thou
art
;
the
Scripture
witnesseth
,
He
is
a
Minister
of
Christ
that
tur●
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
sin
unto
God
;
and
could
we
but
wink
at
sin
,
and
cloak
it
as
you
do
,
and
cry
Peace
,
Peace
to
them
that
walks
after
the
imaginations
of
their
own
hearts
,
then
should
we
be
loved
,
and
not
hated
of
the
World
.
And
in
thy
fourteenth
Page
,
Thou
reckonest
us
with
the
Fryars
and
Popish
Generation
,
but
them
and
thee
we
do
deny
,
and
that
holiness
and
righteousness
which
is
in
the
will
of
man
;
for
because
we
cannot
run
to
the
same
excess
of
riot
with
you
,
you
think
it
strange
;
and
therefore
thou
accusest
us
(
as
with
a
matter
of
fact
)
That
we
drink
water
,
and
fast
,
and
wear
no
Lace
,
&c.
That
which
tho●
wouldst
make
us
abominable
in
by
the
sight
of
men
doth
our
innocency
and
uprightness
appear
in
,
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
his
Children
.
Then
thou
goest
on
in
thy
confused
language
,
and
in
that
which
thou
callest
thy
use
,
Take
h●ed
that
you
be
not
deceived
.
To
whom
dost
thou
speak
,
to
them
that
are
in
the
Truth
?
If
tho●
speakest
to
thy
own
flock
,
thy
word
might
have
been
,
Search
,
lest
you
be
deceived
;
for
we
know
the
whole
World
lies
in
wickedness
,
and
this
Generation
under
the
deceivableness
of
a
blind
Ministry
,
which
leadeth
not
unto
God
,
but
keeps
in
Darkness
,
ever
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
And
in
thy
Page
ninteenth
,
Thou
hast
put
forth
a
Question
,
which
is
,
How
shall
we
know
this
transformed
Angel
of
Light
,
&
c
?
To
which
I
answer
,
Where
he
rules
he
is
not
known
nor
discerned
,
for
the
god
of
the
World
hath
blinded
the
eye
which
should
make
him
manifest
;
and
this
is
true
in
thee
,
who
art
led
by
him
and
perceivest
it
not
,
and
art
doing
his
work
and
understandest
not
;
but
the
brightness
of
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
Man
in
the
Children
of
the
Father
,
hath
discovered
him
in
the
World
,
and
in
thee
;
and
though
thou
woulst
fain
put
him
among
the
Quakers
,
yet
he
is
found
in
thy
own
house
;
thou
endeavourest
to
prove
thy
Accusation
by
vain
consequence
and
false
conclusions
;
but
our
Assertion
is
proved
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
stands
upon
thy
head
,
and
shall
be
witnessed
by
the
Light
in
thy
own
Conscience
.
Now
something
in
answer
to
thy
Arguments
,
and
false
Conclusion
.
And
thy
first
Argument
is
,
That
the
Light
of
the
Quakers
will
not
admit
of
,
nor
endure
the
Trial
,
therefore
the
Light
of
the
Quakers
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
Thy
proposition
and
ground
of
thy
Argument
is
a
Lye
,
and
so
thy
conclusion
is
to
no
purpose
;
for
we
deny
not
a
Trial
,
but
exhort
People
thereunto
,
that
they
search
the
Scripture
,
to
see
whether
these
things
be
not
so
,
and
are
tried
by
the
Scriptures
in
Doctrine
and
Conversation
,
and
proved
to
be
simple
thereby
,
to
be
in
the
Truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
and
are
testified
of
in
Scripture
by
the
Holy
men
of
God
,
who
are
unto
us
a
Cloud
of
Witnesses
,
in
our
Faith
,
and
Life
,
and
Sufferings
,
and
Tryals
,
&c.
Friend
,
thou
hast
fained
a
Lye
upon
us
,
and
hast
confuted
thy
own
Lye
;
this
is
an
easie
way
to
prove
us
Deceivers
,
if
it
would
stand
in
trial
;
neither
is
thy
proof
,
That
w●
do
deny
tryal
,
any
wit
to
this
purpose
,
as
I.
N.
against
F.
Harris
,
Page
the
tenth
,
which
thou
quotest
,
let
the
honest
hearted
read
;
but
subtilly
hast
thou
wrested
the
words
,
to
bring
thy
false
Conclusion
and
Lye
about
,
to
take
place
among
the
ignorant
People
:
Thy
Lye
is
condemned
,
and
thy
refuge
is
taken
away
,
and
thou
art
left
naked
for
the
Destroyer
.
Thy
second
Argument
is
,
The
Light
of
the
Quakers
putteth
out
the
Light
of
Nature
;
therefore
their
Light
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Thou
sayest
by
the
Light
of
Nature
,
thou
meanest
the
inward
Law
;
which
God
set
up
in
the
heart
of
all
mankind
,
ch●●king
many
sins
against
God
and
man
,
&c.
Answ
▪
What
blind
confusion
is
this
,
which
is
uttered
from
thy
dark
mind
?
no
whit
savory
,
but
stuff
hardly
worth
stirring
in
,
and
quite
contradiction
to
thy
own
words
,
Page
fifteen
,
where
thou
chargest
us
with
directing
to
the
Light
in
the
Conscience
,
which
thou
callest
Natural
,
but
we
call
it
Spiritual
,
and
this
is
it
which
cheeks
the
sins
against
God
,
which
thou
sayest
our
Light
puts
out
,
and
that
we
preach
any
thing
for
Light
which
puts
out
this
light
(
which
is
the
work
of
the
Law
of
God
written
in
the
heart
)
this
Argument
is
also
a
Lye
,
and
so
thy
conclusion
is
made
void
likewise
;
but
that
the
Knowledge
,
and
Wisdom
,
and
Prudency
of
the
natural
man
,
which
is
corrupted
,
must
be
put
out
,
this
we
own
;
and
the
Quakers
Light
,
which
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
shall
confound
the
Wisdom
of
the
World
,
and
be
no
transgression
against
God
,
nor
from
a
light
of
Satan
,
but
of
Christ
;
and
the
proof
of
thy
Argument
is
,
as
thou
sayest
,
W●
deny
honour
to
all
Superiours
,
and
seemest
to
be
greatly
offended
with
the
word
(
Thou
)
quoting
many
Scriptures
against
it
,
but
let
the
wise
in
heart
judge
thee
herein
;
none
of
all
these
Scripture
,
will
prove
that
ever
any
of
the
Saints
gave
flattering
Titles
unto
men
,
or
spoke
(
You
)
to
a
particular
Person
,
which
thou
art
to
prove
,
or
else
thou
sayest
nothing
,
that
the
word
(
Thou
)
to
Superiours
is
any
denying
of
honour
due
unto
them
;
and
herein
thy
conclusion
is
also
false
,
being
the
foundation
of
thy
Argument
is
a
Lye
;
and
thy
Argument
made
up
of
confusion
,
saying
,
That
Light
is
Natural
,
which
is
the
inward
Law
set
up
in
the
heart
,
checking
the
sins
against
God
and
man
,
this
is
one
Lye
;
also
saying
,
That
our
Light
puts
out
the
Light
,
This
is
another
Lye
:
Friend
,
if
Lyes
would
prove
us
Deceivers
,
thou
wouldst
accomplish
it
;
How
easie
a
thing
it
is
for
thee
to
confute
thy
own
Lyes
,
when
thou
hast
made
them
?
Thy
third
Argument
is
,
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
(
viz.
)
which
teacheth
men
to
forsake
the
Scriptures
,
setting
up
a
spirit
in
man
,
which
shall
not
be
examined
by
the
Scriptures
;
therefore
,
it
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
The
first
part
of
thy
Argument
is
a
very
Lye
,
and
also
the
last
,
as
thou
hast
laid
it
down
;
our
Light
teacheth
not
men
to
forsake
the
Scriptures
,
but
into
the
fulfilling
of
them
,
to
walk
in
the
Life
of
them
;
and
it
teacheth
to
exalt
the
Spirit
of
God
in
man
above
all
things
,
and
in
its
fruits
and
opperation
may
be
examined
by
the
Scriptures
,
but
it self
is
the
Searcher
of
all
things
,
even
of
the
deep
things
of
God
;
and
this
is
not
the
Light
of
Satan
but
of
Christ
,
which
teacheth
men
into
the
fulfilling
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
to
exalt
the
Spirit
in
man
which
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
which
is
the
trial
of
all
spirits
;
and
whatsoever
conclusion
be
gathered
for
an
Argument
,
whereof
a
Lye
is
the
foundation
,
as
of
this
,
the
conclusion
must
needs
be
vain
,
and
a
Lye
,
like
its
foundation
.
And
in
thy
proof
of
the
major
position
,
thou
sayest
,
The
Scriptures
are
left
by
God
,
to
be
your
Light
and
Rule
,
&c.
And
the
Scriptures
say
,
Christ
is
the
Light
,
the
Way
,
the
Truth
,
and
the
Life
,
(
and
so
the
Rule
)
and
so
thou
hast
set
up
the
Scriptures
above
Christ
,
and
by
thy
lying
spirit
crosseth
the
Scriptures
;
but
thou
art
accustomed
to
Lye
,
and
so
art
expert
therein
:
And
thou
sayest
,
Christ
bids
you
se●●c●
the
Scriptures
,
Iohn
5.
39.
It
is
true
,
he
bids
the
Pharisees
,
who
had
not
Christ
Word
abiding
in
them
,
and
who
had
not
heard
God's
Voice
,
nor
seen
his
Shape
,
but
persecuted
Christ
,
them
he
bad
search
the
Scriptures
;
and
justly
hast
thou
thr●●●
in
thy self
among
the
Pharisees
,
and
so
art
an
Enemy
to
Christ
,
according
to
thy
own
confession
:
And
for
the
proof
of
the
minor
position
,
thou
hast
not
at
at
〈◊〉
proved
by
any
way
of
the
Books
quoted
thy
proposition
,
That
the
Quakers
Lig●●
teacheth
men
to
forsake
the
Scriptures
,
&c.
Let
the
wise
in
heart
judge
.
And
thou
sayst
,
But
to
speak
truly
,
The
Quakers
make
nothing
of
Scriptures
,
&c.
This
is
the
very
falsness
,
and
of
thy
lying
tongue
,
and
no
truth
in
it
;
and
a
Question
here
I
ask
,
Whether
he
be
the
more
guilty
of
forsaking
Scriptures
which
live
the
Life
thereof
,
and
in
the
fulfilling
of
them
by
the
Spirit
,
or
he
that
talks
in
words
of
them
,
and
makes
a
trade
thereof
,
but
lives
in
Lying
and
false
Accusing
,
and
Pride
,
and
vain
Glory
,
and
t●e
filthiness
of
the
Flesh
?
This
Question
being
answered
,
will
open
the
understanding
of
the
simple
,
and
our
innocency
thereby
will
appear
from
all
thy
grievous
slanders
,
and
wicked
wrestings
of
our
words
.
As
in
Page
twenty
five
,
in
thy
false
conclusio●…
of
this
particular
,
thou
sayest
,
The
Quakers
divide
the
Spirit
from
the
Scripture
,
&c.
Yea
,
the
Spirit
,
and
the
Scriptures
are
low
things
,
though
they
bear
wit●…
to
the
truth
of
each
other
,
thus
are
they
divided
,
That
every
one
that
hath
the
Scriptures
hath
not
the
Spirit
,
and
this
is
no
error
,
nor
from
a
Light
of
Satan
;
but
thy
Lyes
are
from
the
Darkness
of
Satan
,
and
not
from
the
Lig●●
of
Christ
.
Thy
fourth
Argument
is
,
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
(
viz.
)
which
makes
the
Scripture
cross
it self
,
and
that
in
things
known
by
the
Light
of
nature
;
therefore
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
This
is
also
false
in
the
foundation
,
and
thy
Arguments
and
Confusions
made
without
effect
:
Friend
,
whilst
thy
foundation
is
a
Lye
thy
Building
wi●…
not
endure
,
be
sure
of
that
;
the
Scripture
was
given
forth
by
one
Spirit
,
and
bears
witness
unto
one
thing
,
and
doth
not
cross
it self
in
the
Light
of
the
Spirit
that
gave
it
forth
,
though
to
thy
carnal
wisdom
it
may
seem
so
:
And
for
the
proof
of
thy
minor
proposition
,
thou
sayst
we
quote
that
Scripture
,
Iames
2.
Have
not
the
Faith
of
our
Lord
Iesus
with
respect
of
Persons
,
&c.
to
overthrow
all
respect
of
Persons
,
&c.
Doth
this
at
all
prove
that
our
Light
makes
the
Scripture
to
cross
it self
?
Where
is
it
said
in
the
Scripture
,
Have
the
Faith
of
our
Lord
Jesus
with
respect
of
Persons
?
Such
a
one
thou
must
bring
,
or
else
thou
hast
said
nothing
to
this
purpose
:
And
thy
second
Scripture
is
,
That
we
say
as
Christ
said
,
Swear
not
at
all
:
Will
this
Scripture
being
quoted
by
us
,
prove
that
our
Light
makes
the
Scripture
cross
it self
?
What
blind
confused
stuff
is
this
which
proceeds
from
thee
,
thinking
to
make
us
odious
and
vile
,
but
thou
hast
the
rather
made
thy self
ignorant
and
blind
in
the
sight
of
all
the
Children
of
Light
,
who
comprehend
thee
in
thy
subtilty
;
and
as
to
that
of
Swearing
,
which
thou
hast
strived
in
thy
Argument
to
prove
the
Lawfulness
of
it
,
thou
hast
thereby
made
thy
Argument
against
Christ's
own
words
,
who
saith
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
and
thou
art
he
whose
Light
(
or
rather
whose
Darkness
)
would
confound
the
Scriptures
,
to
blind
the
eye
of
the
Simple
;
and
thy
conclusion
stands
true
upon
thy self
;
hence
thy
light
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
not
of
Christ
.
And
thou
sayest
,
The
Quakers
bid
men
be
guided
by
the
Light
of
God
within
,
&c.
How
doth
this
contradict
thy
own
words
,
page
twenty
second
,
where
thou
sayest
,
The
Quakers
Light
puts
out
this
light
,
the
inward
Law
set
up
in
the
heart
,
&c.
when
wilt
thou
be
ashamed
of
thy
ignorance
,
and
stop
thy
mouth
in
the
dust
?
Thy
fifth
Argument
is
;
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
,
viz.
which
takes
men
off
from
that
Rule
which
is
perfect
,
and
cannot
err
,
and
sends
them
to
be
guided
by
a
Light
which
is
imperfect
,
and
may
and
doth
err
;
therefore
the
Light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
Hast
thou
given
up
thy self
wholly
to
lyes
,
and
to
make
them
thy
refuge
?
thy
work
is
to
make
a
Lye
,
and
then
to
confound
it
;
this
is
an
easie
way
to
prove
us
Deceivers
,
as
I
said
;
and
in
the
proof
of
thy
minor
Proposition
,
thou
hast
fallen
short
of
proving
what
thou
takest
in
hand
,
and
sayst
,
The
Word
of
God
is
perfect
,
but
the
Quakers
do
not
send
men
to
the
Word
,
&c.
This
is
false
,
we
preach
the
Word
,
and
send
men
to
it
;
even
that
Word
of
Faith
which
the
Apostle
preached
,
which
is
in
the
heart
,
and
in
the
mouth
,
and
that
Word
is
perfect
,
and
errs
not
,
and
this
we
send
men
too
,
to
be
guided
by
it
,
and
to
receive
faith
in
it
;
then
thou
sayest
,
The
light
of
Conscience
is
imperfect
,
and
may
err
,
and
takes
accasion
to
speak
of
that
Scripture
,
1
Ioh.
8.
but
to
what
purpose
I
know
not
,
except
thou
wouldst
prove
that
Light
of
Christ
to
be
imperfect
,
and
err
,
which
we
say
hath
lightened
every
mans
Conscience
in
the
World
,
and
is
a
perfect
Rule
in
the
Conscience
,
where
man
is
guided
by
it
;
and
this
Light
leads
up
unto
Christ
,
to
exercise
the
Conscience
,
and
he
to
rule
King
and
Lord
in
the
Conscience
,
and
so
to
make
Conscience
one
with
him
in
the
unity
;
and
this
is
true
wisdom
,
and
no
folly
as
thou
accountst
it
in
thy
blindness
,
page
twenty

:
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
hast
intimated
a
falsity
from
I.
Ps
Query
,
and
then
confutes
thy
own
Lye
;
I.
P.
doth
not
say
,
every
man
is
lightned
with
a
saving
Light
;
but
asks
the
Question
to
be
answered
,
which
for
the
simple
sake
,
here
I
do
answer
,
Christ
hath
lighted
every
man
in
the
World
with
the
true
Light
,
which
is
saving
Light
to
every
one
that
believes
therein
,
and
condemning
Light
to
him
that
believes
not
,
yet
is
the
Light
true
Light
,
and
no
error
nor
imperfection
in
it
;
and
they
that
hate
it
are
such
as
know
nothing
of
Redemption
,
Justification
,
&c.
and
a
great
part
of
England
is
in
that
conditin
,
though
they
have
heard
the
report
,
yet
they
know
it
not
in
truth
and
righteousness
;
and
this
Light
is
in
the
World
,
and
the
World
knows
it
not
;
yet
doth
not
this
confute
that
he
hath
lightned
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
as
thou
wouldst
ignorantly
make
it
appear
in
the
same
page
:
Then
thou
sayest
,
If
you
speak
of
reason
and
understanding
,
so
Christ
lighteth
every
one
,
&c.
Here
thou
hast
confessed
Truth
with
thy
lying
Spirit
;
it
is
the
purest
reason
that
every
man
should
serve
his
Maker
,
and
act
nothing
contrary
to
his
Maker
;
this
the
●ight
of
Christ
lights
unto
,
and
leads
unto
;
and
it
is
the
best
understanding
that
gives
a
man
to
understand
the
Way
of
eternal
Peace
and
Rest
for
his
Soul
,
if
he
love
the
Light
,
and
lets
him
understand
when
he
acts
against
his
Maker
,
&c.
and
this
hath
Christ
lighted
every
man
unto
;
Then
thou
sayest
,
Conscience
may
err
,
and
provest
it
from
Paul's
example
of
persecuting
:
If
Conscience
be
not
guided
by
the
Light
of
Christ
,
it
erreth
;
but
it
was
not
the
Light
of
Christ
in
Pauls
Conscience
which
led
him
to
persecute
,
but
his
thoughts
and
imaginations
,
which
were
in
the
high
mind
above
the
Light
in
the
Conscience
;
then
many
false
conclusions
from
our
words
hast
thou
drawn
,
through
thy
wresting
of
them
;
thou
sayest
,
as
in
all
our
books
,
the
word
of
God
written
is
made
of
no
account
,
&c.
thy
lying
tongue
will
God
rebuke
,
the
Scriptures
we
account
of
,
and
set
them
in
their
Authority
,
and
bring
them
as
a
Witness
against
thee
,
and
all
thy
wayes
,
who
art
out
of
the
Life
of
them
,
thinking
thou
dost
God
service
in
speaking
evil
of
his
people
;
and
thy
Rules
by
which
thou
walkst
,
is
proved
by
thy
works
and
words
to
be
imperfect
and
erroneous
,
and
thy
darkness
is
of
Satan
,
and
not
the
Light
of
Christ
.
Thy
sixth
Argument
is
,
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
,
that
it
destroys
the
institutions
of
Christ
;
therefore
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
Hast
thou
no
foundation
but
a
Lye
to
place
thy
.
Argument
upon
?
surely
,
thy
time
is
neer
an
end
,
because
thou
hast
no
refuge
but
a
lye
to
fly
unto
.
Thy
major
Proposition
is
not
altogether
sound
,
for
that
light
was
the
Light
of
God
,
and
of
Christ
which
commanded
circumcision
,
and
the
seventh
day
to
be
kept
a
Sabbath
,
and
the
Worship
in
the
Temple
,
which
was
instituted
by
God
,
&c.
And
that
was
the
Light
of
God
,
and
of
Christ
also
,
which
led
the
Disciples
from
these
things
,
to
deny
them
,
and
bear
witness
against
them
,
and
yet
no
offence
in
God
,
nor
no
contradiction
in
the
Light
of
Christ
;
but
this
to
thy
dark
mind
is
a
mystery
sealed
,
and
I
leave
it
as
a
Parable
to
thee
.
Then
for
the
proof
of
,
thy
minor
Proposition
,
thou
instancest
,
That
we
de●●
Baptism
,
and
breaking
of
Bread
;
yet
darest
thou
not
contend
for
sprinkling
of
Infants
;
(
that
imagination
of
man
,
and
no
institution
of
Christ
)
But
makest
use
of
the
Baptist
herein
,
unto
whom
I
perceive
thou
art
an
Enemy
;
what
poor
shifts
art
thou
fain
to
run
unto
now
,
when
thou
art
likely
to
be
discovered
,
and
rambles
up
and
down
,
wresting
our
words
to
blind
the
eyes
of
the
simple
?
for
you
that
live
in
your
filthiness
,
yet
professing
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
,
it
is
made
manifest
you
eat
and
drink
your
own
damnation
,
and
discerns
not
the
Lords
Body
and
while
you
are
of
the
World
,
and
not
come
to
Repentance
,
you
have
nothing
to
do
to
speak
of
the
Institutions
of
Christ
,
which
was
to
his
Church
,
to
be
practised
therein
only
,
and
not
among
the
Children
of
this
World
;
so
thy
darkness
is
of
Satan
,
and
not
of
Christ
,
and
thy
Conclusion
it
is
to
thy self
.
Thy
seventh
Argument
is
;
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
,
viz.
Which
denies
agre●
Work
of
Christ
in
the
hearts
of
them
who
believe
in
him
;
therefore
it
is
the
Light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
What
hast
thou
nothing
but
a
Lye
in
thy
mouth
to
ground
thy
Discourse
upon
,
and
to
draw
thy
Conclusion
from
;
we
deny
not
the
work
of
Christ
in
the
hearts
of
them
who
believe
;
the
proof
of
this
minor
position
makes
it
not
at
all
evident
,
when
thou
hast
wrested
our
words
as
much
as
thou
canst
,
much
less
if
the
simplicity
of
our
words
were
used
;
so
it
being
a
Lye
in
the
ground
,
I
need
no●
much
pluck
down
the
building
,
for
it
fals
of
it self
,
as
being
not
so
firm
as
upon
the
Sand
;
for
we
hereunto
exhort
,
that
every
one
may
know
and
witness
the
work
of
Christ
in
the
heart
to
change
and
translate
,
and
to
give
power
over
the
World
:
But
among
thy
many
blind
Arguments
thou
sayest
,
Thou
deniest
that
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
whereby
a
Believer
is
justified
doth
dwell
in
him
,
&c.
The
Scripture
saith
,
Except
Christ
be
in
you
,
you
are
Reprobates
;
and
where
Christ
is
,
there
is
his
Righteousness
,
for
they
are
not
divided
;
and
the
Word
of
Faith
,
which
is
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
,
is
in
the
heart
,
as
Paul
saith
:
but
I
have
cause
to
think
thou
art
not
much
ashamed
of
being
proved
a
Lyar
,
because
thy
impudency
hath
overcome
simplicity
and
honesty
;
for
when
thou
hast
committed
abomination
,
thou
canst
not
blush
,
nor
be
ashamed
;
but
thy
shame
will
the
Upright
see
.
Thy
eighth
Argument
is
,
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
,
(
viz.
)
which
teacheth
men
●o
omit
their
duty
to
God
;
therefore
it
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
Thou
Enemy
of
God
,
when
wilt
thou
cease
thy
Lyes
,
and
to
pervert
the
right
way
of
God
?
we
teach
no
man
to
omit
his
duty
,
neither
doth
thy
witness
of
thy
minor
Proposition
stand
any
whit
for
thy
purpose
;
we
are
our selves
daily
exercised
in
Prayer
unto
God
,
and
omits
it
not
,
as
thou
falsly
accusest
;
but
to
bear
Testimony
against
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Wicked
,
prayer
,
self-righteousness
,
&c.
that
it
is
abomination
,
and
not
accepted
of
the
Father
,
this
is
no
whit
to
the
purpose
of
teaching
men
to
omit
their
duty
,
as
thou
falsly
accuseth
us
;
and
thy
multitude
of
vain
Arguments
are
to
no
purpose
herein
;
and
thou
shews
a
vain
wonto●
spirit
.
at
I.
Ns
words
,
whose
Exhortation
is
to
wait
for
the
Spirit
,
which
we
testifie
no
man
can
be
heard
,
or
accepted
of
God
in
what
he
doth
,
without
it
;
and
this
is
the
Duty
of
the
Children
of
God
,
to
wait
upon
the
Father
to
be
led
by
his
Spirit
,
and
he
who
is
without
the
Spirit
,
hath
not
received
Christ
Jesus
;
and
though
thou
scornst
at
this
,
yet
of
it
we
are
not
ashamed
;
and
thy
false
conclusion
is
like
thy
foundation
,
both
to
be
condemned
with
the
Lyar.
Thy
ninth
Argument
is
,
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
(
viz.
)
which
teacheth
men
to
say
,
they
have
no
sin
;
therefore
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
In
the
proof
of
thy
major
Proposition
,
thou
sayest
,
The
Light
of
Christ
doth
teach
,
that
all
his
People
are
freed
from
the
dominion
of
sin
;
and
Christ
Jesus
no
where
saith
,
That
any
are
free
from
the
dominion
of
sin
,
who
are
not
free
from
the
committing
of
sin
;
but
the
contrary
he
saith
,
He
that
commits
sin
is
Iohn
8.
34.
the
Servant
of
sin
;
and
such
a
one
is
under
the
dominion
of
it
,
where
he
is
Servant
,
sin
is
Lord
;
so
he
who
is
redeemed
from
the
Dominion
and
committing
of
sin
,
and
cleansed
from
all
unrighteousness
,
by
Christ
Jesus
through
his
Blood
;
if
he
saith
he
hath
no
sin
,
he
is
no
Lyar
:
but
if
before
confession
and
forsaking
of
sin
,
he
saith
he
hath
no
sin
,
he
deceives
himself
,
according
as
the
Scripture
witnesseth
unto
both
these
conditions
,
1
Iohn
1.
8
,
9.
Again
,
He
that
is
born
of
God
sins
not
,
as
the
same
Apostle
saith
;
and
if
he
that
sins
not
,
saith
he
hath
no
sin
,
he
is
no
Lyar
,
but
his
Light
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
not
of
Satan
:
And
thy
blindness
is
seen
in
that
thou
sayest
in
effect
,
as
though
some
may
be
free
from
the
dominion
of
sin
,
and
yet
not
free
from
the
committing
of
sin
;
if
thy
Light
teacheth
thee
thus
,
it
is
contrary
to
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
gave
forth
the
Scripture
;
our
Light
teacheth
from
the
committing
of
all
sin
,
and
gives
dominion
over
all
unrighteousness
,
and
of
this
Light
we
are
not
ashamed
:
This
is
the
strength
of
thy
Argument
,
which
is
answered
;
so
much
of
the
rest
I
pass
by
,
only
may
mind
thee
of
thy
confusion
.
Thou
sayest
,
Where
s●n
hath
no
dominion
,
that
man
is
perfect
,
&c.
And
thou
allowest
that
the
Light
of
Christ
teacheth
men
that
they
are
freed
from
the
dominion
of
sin
;
and
it
is
proved
that
none
are
free
from
the
dominion
of
sin
,
but
who
are
saved
from
the
committing
of
sin
:
And
the
sum
of
thy
doctrine
is
no
more
then
that
which
thou
wouldst
make
error
in
us
,
though
sometimes
thou
art
railing
against
Perfection
,
and
sometimes
owning
it
under
some
particular
accounts
,
not
under
all
;
and
so
one
while
builds
up
,
and
another
while
throwest
down
,
and
so
art
in
Babylon
.
Thou
sayest
,
There
are
thousands
of
perfect
men
in
England
,
&c.
yet
thy
false
conclusion
is
,
because
we
hold
Perfection
,
Therefore
is
our
Light
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
I
leave
it
to
the
simple
minde
,
to
read
thy
confusion
,
and
shall
rake
no
longer
in
it
.
Thy
Tenth
Argument
is
,
Such
is
the
Quakers
Light
(
viz.
)
Which
teacheth
men
to
revile
,
and
throw
filth
upon
the
true
Ministers
,
and
true
Churches
of
Christ
;
therefore
it
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
This
Foundation
is
another
Lye
,
and
thy
Arguments
are
to
no
purpose
;
We
revile
not
,
neither
do
throw
filth
upon
the
true
Ministers
and
Churches
of
Christ
;
Thy
proof
of
thy
minor
position
gives
not
evidence
of
thy
assertion
;
let
the
wise
in
Heart
judge
:
So
much
need
not
be
said
,
because
both
thy
proposition
and
thy
proof
is
false
;
Doth
I.
Parnel
,
telling
Of
the
Churches
being
in
God
,
&c.
prove
that
we
revile
&
throw
filth
upon
Ministers
?
&c.
What
blindness
is
this
?
but
yet
this
will
be
the
Question
,
Who
the
true
Ministers
and
Churches
of
Christ
are
?
for
we
judge
it
not
,
(
neither
doth
the
Lord
)
to
be
reviling
and
throwing
filth
upon
the
true
Ministers
and
Churches
,
to
call
you
greedy
dumb
Dogs
,
that
seek
for
your
Gain
from
your
Quarter
,
and
can
never
have
enough
;
and
Hirelings
,
Isa.
56.
Mich.

that
preach
for
Hire
,
and
divine
for
Money
;
and
Devourers
of
the
Flock
,
who
feed
your selves
with
the
Fat
,
and
make
a
Prey
through
Covetousness
upon
the
People
;
acting
the
horrible
filthy
thing
,
which
Ieremiah
cried
against
;
and
to
call
you
evil
Beasts
,
and
Slow-bellies
,
which
teach
for
filthy
Lucre
,
as
●●●l
did
:
And
much
more
such
like
may
truly
be
spoken
of
you
,
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
no
railing
against
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
no
more
then
the
true
Prophets
,
which
spoke
the
same
Language
:
for
who
act
those
things
which
the
Prophets
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
declared
against
,
are
no
Ministers
of
Christ
;
and
here
we
find
you
in
the
steps
of
the
false
Prophets
,
and
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
,
and
false
Apostles
;
(
if
any
ask
the
particulars
,
I
can
give
testimony
hereof
)
so
that
we
make
a
great
difference
between
reproving
and
condemning
false
Teachers
and
Hirelings
,
and
reviling
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
;
prove
your selves
to
be
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
we
shall
joyn
with
you
;
otherwise
we
must
set
to
our
seal
against
you
,
for
your
abominations
,
and
shall
as
justly
deny
your
Idol
Temples
,
and
Worship
therein
to
be
the
true
Churches
of
Christ
,
as
we
deny
you
to
be
Ministers
;
for
your
works
do
make
you
manifest
,
even
your
wickedness
is
discovered
;
what
rudeness
,
and
wildness
,
and
pride
,
and
vain
glory
is
among
you
;
and
Christ
never
had
such
a
Body
,
who
were
made
up
of
such
Members
;
but
I
do
the
rather
pitty
your
blind
People
than
you
,
for
you
are
the
blind
Leaders
of
the
Blind
,
and
shut
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
,
and
enter
not
your selves
,
nor
will
suffer
others
,
This
is
true
upon
you
,
and
so
are
proved
to
be
the
Generation
of
Vipers
,
and
Serpents
,
and
Hipocrites
:
This
is
no
reviling
,
but
the
Language
of
the
Spirir
of
God
,
which
Christ
once
spoke
to
such
as
you
;
(
I
speak
of
thee
and
thy
Generation
)
and
we
own
and
honour
the
true
Ministers
and
Churches
of
Christ
,
and
revile
them
not
;
but
deny
you
,
and
bear
our
witness
against
you
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
See
what
is
required
by
the
Apostles
Example
,
to
bring
you
into
the
Ministry
,
and
prove
you
have
it
not
.
To
which
I
answer
,
You
have
not
the
call
of
the
Apostles
,
who
were
called
by
the
imediate
Spirit
;
none
of
you
dare
own
this
that
I
have
yet
heard
of
;
neither
have
you
received
your
Gospel
as
they
did
,
by
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
;
and
thou
hast
confessed
it
.
In
Page
fifty
one
,
thou
sayst
plainly
,
You
own
no
such
Revelation
;
and
so
hast
manifested
thy selfe
,
to
be
without
the
abillities
of
the
true
Ministers
,
in
these
two
particulars
,
and
many
more
,
which
might
be
mentioned
;
and
also
in
that
which
the
Apostle
saith
,
He
that
preaches
the
Gospel
shall
live
of
the
Gospel
.
Now
by
an
outward
Law
you
are
maintained
,
through
oppression
of
the
Innocent
,
as
before
I
have
proved
;
for
if
you
had
not
a
Law
to
defend
you
in
your
Maintenance
,
you
might
starve
or
beg
:
So
your
gospel
doth
not
maintain
you
,
but
the
Law
of
the
Nation
,
through
oppression
of
the
People
.
And
the
Apostle
preached
Christ
Jesus
to
be
the
Light
which
hath
Lightened
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
and
this
you
deny
:
And
much
more
migh
be
testified
against
you
wherein
you
are
not
only
short
,
but
contrary
to
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
.
Th●●
thou
shamelesly
pleadst
for
the
ordination
by
the
Bishops
,
which
I
shall
pass
by
,
as
not
worth
minding
to
set
pen
to
paper
about
it
,
and
in
conclusion
thou
sayest
,
Th●…
pleadst
not
for
every
particular
Minister
,
&c.
neither
do
I
plead
against
any
one
Minister
of
Christ
,
but
against
hirelings
for
which
thou
pleadst
,
and
so
thy
darkness
is
of
Satan
,
and
not
the
Light
of
Christ
;
take
thy
Conclusion
to
thy self
,
for
unto
thee
it
belongs
.
Thy
eleventh
Argument
is
;
Such
is
the
Quakers
light
(
viz.
)
which
brags
of
the
infallible
Spirit
,
and
yet
cannot
speak
good
sence
or
reason
,
therefore
is
the
light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
This
is
also
false
,
and
a
Lye
;
whom
hast
thou
heard
brag
,
by
word
or
writing
,
of
an
infallible
Spirit
,
but
the
Spirit
of
God
we
say
is
infallible
,
and
that
Spirit
we
have
received
in
its
measure
;
but
thy
Lye
I
bear
witness
against
,
and
thee
the
father
of
it
:
And
thou
sayst
the
Spirit
of
God
speaks
rationally
,
and
sence
;
and
thou
sayst
Satan
also
can
speak
likewise
;
then
that
can
be
no
clear
discovery
or
difference
betwixt
them
,
if
they
speak
alike
:
And
thou
sayst
further
,
Seeing
the
witty
Jesuits
cannot
do
the
business
,
now
try
if
foolish
Quakers
can
do
it
,
&c.
Thou
art
herein
divided
from
some
of
thy
Brethren
,
who
hath
as
unjustly
as
tho●
accused
us
to
be
Jesuits
;
but
any
thing
you
will
say
which
may
make
for
your
turn
,
to
uphold
the
Kingdom
of
Satan
;
but
your
Lyes
and
Reproaches
are
unto
us
great
riches
,
and
our
innocency
will
the
Lord
bring
forth
in
his
time
,
and
your
wickedness
shall
fall
upon
your
own
heads
in
a
moment
:
but
thy
proof
of
thy
minor
position
testifies
no
such
thing
against
us
,
as
speaking
rational
,
or
non-sence
;
so
thy
position
is
false
,
that
we
brag
,
&c.
And
thy
proof
is
not
for
thy
purpose
,
th●●
we
cannot
speak
good
sence
or
reason
;
so
in
thy
whole
business
thou
art
found
a
Lyar
,
and
the
Lyars
Portion
is
the
Lake
;
this
is
truth
,
and
no
reviling
;
only
I
perceive
thou
hast
got
a
catch
by
some
Scriptures
being
misplaced
,
and
not
truly
quoted
,
which
may
be
the
Printers
fault
,
for
ought
I
know
:
But
all
that
ever
thou
hast
spoken
proves
not
the
truth
of
what
thou
hast
asserted
,
let
shame
cover
thy
face
.
Thy
twelfth
Argument
is
;
Such
is
the
Quakers
light
,
(
viz.
)
which
affirms
sound
Believers
walking
(
Evangelically
)
in
obedience
to
Gods
Commandments
,
to
be
in
a
state
of
Condemnation
;
therefore
it
is
the
Light
of
Satan
,
&c.
Answ.
Thou
being
neer
at
an
end
,
hast
left
the
greatest
Lye
to
the
last
;
When
wilt
thou
be
ashamed
,
and
stop
thy
mouth
?
thy
testimony
of
Lyes
is
well
nigh
finished
,
and
thou
bindest
up
the
sum
with
an
abominable
one
;
yet
thou
confessest
in
thy
Margent
,
We
do
not
say
thi●
in
many
words
,
but
by
consequence
,
&c.
Here
let
all
men
take
notice
of
thee
,
who
hast
accused
us
with
a
thing
;
and
yet
confessest
we
say
not
the
thing
;
thou
hast
fully
manifested
thy self
,
we
need
go
no
further
to
lay
thee
open
;
but
thou
sayest
,
By
consequence
,
&c.
Friend
,
if
thou
mighttest
be
the
Interpreter
of
our
Books
,
its
like
thou
wouldest
deal
deceifully
as
thy
Generation
hath
done
with
the
Scripture
;
but
we
write
not
our
Books
,
and
leave
them
for
to
be
expounded
by
thee
,
but
they
are
as
they
speak
,
simple
plain
Language
to
the
ignorant
,
that
thy
may
be
instructed
;
thou
hast
manifested
thy
skil
,
in
wresting
our
words
,
sufficiently
;
we
allow
thee
not
to
be
our
Interpreter
;
we
testifie
,
he
who
is
a
sound
Believer
,
and
walks
in
obedience
to
the
commands
of
God
,
is
in
a
justified
state
in
the
sight
of
God
;
but
we
put
a
difference
betwixt
condemning
sound
Believers
,
and
speaking
plainly
in
reproof
of
sin
,
as
if
we
tell
the
Lyar
his
portion
will
be
the
Lake
,
and
the
Proud
he
shall
be
as
stubble
before
the
fire
,
and
the
Wicked
shall
be
cast
into
Hell
;
and
that
no
Coveteous
,
Unclean
,
Whoremongers
,
Drunkards
,
&c.
shall
never
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
This
Language
is
not
a
condemning
of
the
sound
Believers
,
neither
is
it
so
accounted
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
though
falsly
judged
by
thee
,
and
we
stand
to
the
Judgment
of
him
,
and
not
unto
thy
false
Slanders
.
And
thou
further
sayest
,
and
desirest
the
Quakers
,
But
to
tell
thee
of
one
man
in
the
Word
of
God
,
Heb.
12.
21.
Ier.
23.
9.
Psal.
88.
15.
(
meaning
the
Scriptures
)
who
was
Holy
,
who
embraced
the
Quakers
Doctrines
,
Principle
,
and
Practises
,
&c.
David
was
holy
,
Moses
was
holy
,
Ieremiak
was
holy
,
with
many
more
testified
of
in
the
Scripture
,
that
were
of
the
same
Faith
with
us
,
and
of
the
same
Doctrines
,
and
Principles
,
and
Practices
;
for
themselves
were
Quakers
,
as
their
own
Writings
make
manifest
;
and
hadst
thou
been
in
their
dayes
,
thou
wouldst
have
spoken
no
less
evil
of
them
then
of
us
;
for
it
was
such
as
thou
who
spoke
evil
of
them
,
and
persecuted
them
;
and
hence
I
do
conclude
thy
spirit
to
be
the
spirit
of
Satan
,
and
not
the
Spirit
of
God
,
Thy
thirteenth
and
last
Argument
is
against
our
Shaking
(
as
thou
callest
it
)
and
it
is
manifest
to
every
one
(
thou
sayest
)
whence
it
comes
,
&c.
And
railest
much
against
it
,
and
shufflest
off
,
and
kicks
against
the
testimony
we
give
out
of
the
Scripture
,
bringing
the
like
examples
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
.
And
thou
sayest
,
We
abuse
the
examples
of
Daniel
,
Moses
,
and
David
,
to
defend
these
diabolical
actings
,
&c.
God
shall
reprove
thy
lying
Tongue
,
and
rebuke
thee
with
the
reproof
of
his
Judgments
;
yea
,
many
more
than
these
named
can
we
bring
to
witness
for
us
,
in
the
same
actings
of
the
Power
of
God
.
which
thou
most
wickedly
callest
Diabolical
,
and
leavest
the
Reader
to
observe
thy
foolish
Story
,
to
which
in
its
place
I
may
answer
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
ramblest
over
a
great
deal
of
stuff
from
an
Author
like
thy self
,
who
wrote
a
Book
against
us
also
,
and
whose
testimony
is
no
better
then
thine
,
as
being
of
the
same
spirit
(
against
the
Seed
of
God
)
with
thee
,
and
his
testimony
and
thine
are
both
for
condemnation
;
thou
quotest
his
Lyes
to
prove
thine
,
as
though
his
words
were
of
authority
with
the
Scripture
;
but
wrechedness
and
subtilty
lodges
under
your
tongues
;
and
though
you
be
of
several
Opinions
and
Judgments
in
your
Worships
and
Ministries
,
yet
are
you
joyned
,
and
against
us
,
as
Herod
and
Pilato
;
and
if
it
was
not
such
a
things
as
would
make
for
thy
wicked
purpose
,
thou
wouldest
scorn
to
make
use
of
his
words
,
to
prove
thine
;
but
the
shift
of
the
subtil
Fox
,
which
would
devour
the
Lamb
,
is
taken
notice
of
in
all
his
actings
.
Then
thou
sayest
,
No
you
own
no
such
revolation
,
(
viz
)
by
the
foregoing
words
,
〈◊〉
you
were
taught
the
Gospel
by
the
revolation
of
Iesus
Christ
.
And
here
let
all
men
take
notice
of
thee
,
to
be
one
that
was
never
sent
of
Christ
,
but
one
who
knows
not
God
;
for
as
Christ
Jesus
saith
,
No
man
knows
the
Father
,
nor
the
Son
,
but
he
to
whom
the
Son
reveals
him
:
And
thou
having
denied
the
Revelation
of
the
Son
of
God
,
hast
shut
out
thy self
from
his
Knowledge
:
For
shame
talk
no
more
of
the
things
of
God
,
but
let
thy
mouth
be
stopped
from
making
mention
of
his
Name
,
especially
on
the
account
of
being
a
Minister
;
all
that
know
God
or
the
Gospel
are
ashamed
of
thee
;
some
of
thy
own
Brethren
will
not
own
thee
herein
▪
some
of
this
I
have
laid
open
before
.
Then
thou
goest
on
saying
,
The
pretended
revelation
of
the
Quakers
,
do
cross
an
Article
of
Faith
and
Rule
of
Obedience
in
Scripture
.
This
is
not
the
least
of
thy
Lyes
:
I
deny
the
Slander
;
the
same
Truth
,
and
Faith
,
and
Obedience
as
ever
was
witnessed
in
the
Holy
men
of
God
,
which
declared
forth
the
Scripture
,
we
own
,
and
bear
witness
of
,
and
no
other
:
The
Revelation
of
Christ
in
us
,
in
Faith
and
Obedience
is
witnessed
by
Paul
,
who
is
our
Example
;
and
thou
art
the
man
whose
spirit
is
contrary
to
Scripture
,
as
is
clearly
made
manifest
,
and
in
thee
the
man
of
sin
is
revealed
,
and
the
Light
which
should
discover
him
is
vailed
;
and
I
may
truly
say
of
thee
,
as
thou
falsly
hast
said
of
us
,
Surely
the
Devil
is
the
Authour
of
thy
work
.
Then
in
thy
conclusion
thou
sayst
,
Much
more
might
be
gathered
out
of
their
Books
,
whereby
it
may
appear
by
what
spirit
these
Quakers
are
led
;
by
the
spirit
of
Satan
,
scarce
trasnformed
into
an
Angel
of
Light
.
Now
,
to
all
the
honest
hearted
,
unto
whom
this
,
and
thine
may
come
;
even
to
thy
own
Hearers
,
at
least
unto
such
who
have
but
moderation
in
their
spirits
;
and
to
that
measure
of
God
in
their
Consciences
I
do
appeal
;
that
they
by
it
may
judge
whether
thou
hast
more
discovered
the
spirit
of
Satan
,
in
us
,
by
any
thing
which
thou
hast
in
all
thy
Books
justly
proved
against
us
to
be
evil
,
or
sin
,
or
error
,
(
except
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
may
stand
for
a
testimony
)
or
in
thy self
:
who
hast
slandered
us
unjustly
,
and
wrested
our
words
deceitfully
,
and
spoken
many
〈◊〉
grievous
untruth
of
us
;
and
I
say
to
all
who
read
this
,
and
thine
,
let
them
observe
with
an
impartial
mind
;
and
try
all
things
,
and
hold
fast
that
which
is
good
;
and
let
not
the
envy
of
the
wicked
one
so
prevail
over
you
,
but
search
all
things
with
the
Light
of
God
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
before
you
judge
any
thing
,
least
your
zeal
in
your
hasty
untamed
minds
and
spirits
betray
the
honesty
,
which
may
in
sobriety
be
instructed
,
and
you
informed
the
Way
of
Salvation
,
which
now
the
Lord
of
Heaven
is
discovering
to
them
that
seek
him
in
truth
and
sincerity
:
And
because
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
is
to
reveal
his
Glory
,
and
to
discover
and
condemn
the
secrets
of
the
well-savoured
Harlot
,
who
hath
sat
long
as
a
Queen
in
the
Earth
,
deceiving
Kingdoms
and
Peoples
;
therefore
also
is
Herod
and
Pilate
joyned
together
,
and
Gog
and
Magog
is
risen
in
their
Power
,
to
resist
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
to
disannul
his
Purpose
;
but
in
vain
do
they
strive
,
and
weary
themselves
to
no
advantage
;
for
Sions
King
shall
reign
,
and
Ierusalem
shall
be
built
,
and
become
the
praise
of
the
whole
Earth
;
and
Nations
shall
partake
of
her
Glory
,
and
the
Armies
of
Alients
shall
flee
and
be
discomforted
:
And
all
the
Lyes
and
Slanders
of
the
wicked
one
,
shall
return
upon
his
own
head
;
and
the
pit
which
the
wicked
digs
for
the
Righteous
,
it
shall
swallow
the
wicked
up
,
and
his
foot
shall
not
escape
the
snare
:
so
that
I
testifie
unto
all
People
this
one
thing
concerning
Jesus
,
Him
hath
God
given
a
Light
into
the
World
,
a
Judge
,
and
a
Reprover
of
all
the
works
of
wickedness
;
and
with
his
Light
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
is
lightened
,
with
the
Light
of
Life
all
that
believe
,
and
with
the
Light
of
Condemnation
all
that
believe
not
:
If
you
every
one
turn
in
your
minds
from
the
vanities
of
the
World
,
unto
the
measure
of
the
Light
given
you
,
a
present
Teacher
in
the
Wayes
of
God
;
this
Light
will
be
in
you
,
to
direct
your
steps
in
Righteousness
and
Peace
;
for
as
it
is
written
,
The
Lord
is
the
Teacher
of
all
his
People
,
and
all
the
false
Teachers
and
Hirelings
will
be
denyed
;
and
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
their
leaven
,
will
be
born
witness
against
,
and
the
old
man
with
all
his
deeds
will
be
put
off
,
and
▪
the
new
Man
will
be
put
on
,
which
is
the
Likeness
and
Image
of
the
Father
;
and
then
will
you
witness
the
Life
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
in
you
they
will
be
fulfilled
,
by
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
forth
,
which
Spirit
all
the
Sons
of
God
are
guided
by
;
and
this
Spirit
the
World
cannot
receive
,
no
further
then
to
be
reproved
by
it
of
sin
,
and
condemned
for
unrighteousness
;
and
to
every
one
who
hath
in
the
least
received
a
measure
of
the
Spirit
,
and
is
guided
by
it
;
to
them
only
I
leave
what
I
have
written
,
and
the
Writing
answered
to
be
judged
,
as
in
the
sight
of
God
,
with
an
impartial
mind
.
I
have
not
striven
for
mastery
through
subtilty
and
deceitful
speeches
but
in
innocency
I
have
written
to
vindicate
the
Lord's
Truth
,
from
the
Lyes
of
his
Enemies
who
make
i●
their
work
〈◊〉
render
the
Way
of
Truth
odious
,
lest
their
deceits
should
be
laid
open
,
and
they
judged
.
And
this
same
Giles
Firmin
hath
done
his
part
sufficiently
herein
,
who
hath
not
ceased
lying
and
slandering
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
of
his
Book
,
unto
which
I
might
have
written
much
more
,
yet
desire
not
to
multiply
,
words
with
such
as
are
impudent
,
and
cannot
〈◊〉
when
they
have
done
evil
▪
but
to
the
main
Particulars
,
a
few
to
each
of
them
I
have
written
,
passing
by
much
unsavory
stuff
proceeding
from
a
light
vain
spirit
,
(
as
is
easily
discernd
by
the
Children
of
Light
)
who
hath
made
both
Foundations
and
Arguments
very
Lyes
,
and
hath
laid
things
to
our
charge
,
which
we
never
knew
,
nor
by
word
or
Writing
was
ever
declared
;
but
thou
Giles
F.
hast
filled
up
thy
measure
of
wickedness
,
according
to
thy
ability
;
hadst
thou
been
more
subtil
,
thy
work
would
have
been
more
deceitful
:
Therefore
repeat
of
thy
wickeness
,
and
go
not
on
in
thy
perverse
,
way
of
uncleanness
,
lest
thou
be
cut
off
with
an
utter
destruction
,
and
repentance
be
hid
from
thy
eyes
.
And
to
the
foolish
babling
story
,
in
the
end
of
thy
Book
,
I
do
Answer
,
thou
sayst
a
Minister
now
in
Essex
gave
the
Narration
,
&c.
but
hast
deceitfully
concealed
his
name
,
and
so
he
and
thou
well
may
,
as
being
ashamed
thereof
,
in
laying
,
slanders
too
foolish
to
subscribe
his
name
unto
:
Yet
is
Thomas
Tillam
known
,
his
name
and
nature
;
whose
Testimony
is
like
thine
,
and
a
Minister
like
unto
thee
;
who
was
,
and
is
known
in
all
the
Parts
about
Hexam
to
be
a
deceitful
Fellow
;
one
who
preached
for
Hire
,
and
sought
for
his
Gain
from
his
Quarter
,
as
is
well
known
;
who
also
made
merchandise
of
souls
,
through
coveteousness
with
feigned
words
.
And
though
T.
Tillam
be
or
was
an
Anabaptist
,
and
contrary
to
thee
in
his
Opinion
,
yet
if
he
will
but
give
a
bubling
Slander
against
us
thou
wilt
belieive
him
,
and
call
him
a
Minister
;
but
his
wickedness
is
well
noted
,
,
who
for
wickedness
and
filthiness
,
was
cast
out
and
denied
of
the
Assembly
whereof
he
was
the
Pastor
;
and
stands
this
day
as
one
cast
off
by
them
,
who
are
a
little
more
honest
than
thou
and
he
,
though
yet
Strangers
to
us
,
and
Opposers
of
us
:
And
now
in
that
your
deceits
are
discovered
,
you
flee
to
any
bubble
for
a
strength
,
and
make
Lyes
your
refuge
,
and
yet
justifie
your selves
and
condemn
the
Innocent
.
And
thy
last
Story
is
an
abominable
Lye
;
and
a
man
that
hath
honesty
in
either
hand
or
heart
,
would
be
ashamed
to
utter
such
things
;
but
in
plainness
of
speech
,
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
I
do
deny
,
and
unto
thee
I
do
return
them
again
,
with
true
Judgment
upon
them
,
and
dare
not
flatter
thee
,
nor
speak
peace
unto
the
wicked
;
but
to
the
Light
of
God
in
all
Consciences
I
do
stand
clear
,
by
it
to
be
justified
,
when
all
the
wicked
are
condemned
.

THE
Crying
Sins
Reproved
,
WHEREOF
The
Rulers
and
People
of
England
are
highly
guilty
;
WITH
Additions
to
their
own
Confessions
held
forth
by
them
in
a
Declaration
of
their
own
,
bearing
date
Septem.
23.
wherein
these
three
Nations
are
called
to
a
Day
of
solemn
Fasting
,
&c.
With
meek
Exhortations
to
this
present
Parliament
,
that
they
take
heed
to
themselves
,
lest
they
make
the
Guiltless
to
suffer
upon
the
account
of
Blasphemy
or
Error
,
&c.
while
the
Evil-Doers
go
free
,
and
the
false
Prophets
defended
.
HOw
long
,
how
long
shall
Gods
righteous
soul
be
grieved
,
and
his
〈◊〉
Spirit
vexed
with
the
vain
oblations
and
offerings
of
them
whose
hear●●
are
far
from
him
,
even
after
their
Idols
,
and
in
their
covetousness
,
and
earthly
honours
of
this
vain
world
,
while
they
honor
with
their
lips
and
profess
love
with
their
mouths
in
outward
observances
?
How
long
Lord
shall
thy
Enemies
lean
upon
thee
,
and
say
,
Is
not
the
Lord
amongst
us
?
while
they
oppress
the
Innocent
,
and
make
a
prey
upon
the
Upright
,
and
tread
thy
glory
underfoot
,
and
despise
thy
Law
and
Ordinances
,
and
set
at
nought
thy
Children
,
and
causeth
them
to
suffer
grievous
burdens
,
under
heavy
hands
of
cruelty
,
every
one
smiting
with
the
fist
of
wickedness
?
Wilt
thou
be
pleased
Lord
with
a
Sacrifice
of
the
unclean
hands
,
given
unto
thee
from
polluted
hearts
,
offered
upon
the
Altars
of
mens
own
precepts
in
set
times
?
Wilt
thou
be
worshipped
in
mens
i●ventions
and
traditions
,
in
a
set
day
,
of
hanging
down
the
head
like
a
Bul
ru●●
for
a
moment
?
Canst
thou
accept
a
fast
appointed
by
the
will
of
man
,
while
t●●
bands
of
wickedness
are
not
loosed
,
nor
the
Oppressed
set
free
?
And
wilt
thou
be
found
in
a
way
decreed
by
the
Children
of
men
,
whose
way
is
corrupt
before
thee
?
Yea
,
Lord
God
,
men
seeks
,
but
not
in
thy
own
Way
;
and
they
call
upon
thee
,
but
not
in
thy
Spirit
;
and
they
press
towards
thee
,
but
not
at
thy
door
;
they
ask
of
thee
the
Ordinance
of
Justice
,
and
they
delight
in
approaching
to
thee
,
and
they
are
as
a
Nation
that
works
righteousness
,
yet
doth
their
,
sins
cry
aloud
in
thy
ear
,
and
their
Oppression
and
Backsliding
calls
for
Vengeance
upon
their
own
heads
:
When
will
ye
be
wise
ye
Rulers
,
and
learned
you
Judges
of
the
Earth
?
for
now
the
jealousie
of
the
Lord
burns
like
fire
,
and
his
wrath
is
kindled
more
then
a
little
,
and
yet
you
do
not
trust
in
him
;
but
in
the
day
of
your
Fast
you
find
your
own
pleasures
,
and
in
the
day
of
your
humiliation
you
hearts
are
lifted
up
in
vain
glory
,
and
you
presume
in
his
Presence
,
and
call
him
Lord
,
but
doth
not
that
which
he
commands
;
for
the
Oppressed
is
not
eased
,
nor
the
Captive
is
not
freed
,
nor
the
hungry
fed
,
nor
the
naked
clothed
;
the
Lords
soul
is
wearied
with
you
,
and
your
Offrings
unto
him
are
as
if
you
cut
off
a
Dogs
neck
,
and
your
Incense
is
unto
him
as
if
you
blessed
an
Idol
;
you
neglect
the
Fast
which
God
hath
chosen
,
and
make
unto
your selves
a
Precept
and
a
Day
,
in
which
your
work
is
not
accepted
,
whilst
your
fear
towards
him
is
taught
by
your
own
precepts
,
and
they
that
fear
the
Lord
mourn
for
you
,
and
they
that
know
his
Way
wish
good
towards
you
,
that
your
eyes
might
see
and
your
hearts
understand
that
which
belongs
to
your
peace
;
but
you
despise
the
reproof
of
Instruction
,
and
choose
your
own
ways
,
and
do
that
which
is
high
in
the
sight
of
your
own
eyes
;
and
you
weary
the
Lord
from
day
to
day
,
and
he
is
pressed
under
your
iniquities
as
a
Cart
is
pressed
with
Sheaves
:
And
shall
not
his
Soul
be
avenged
upon
you
,
and
upon
such
a
Nation
as
this
,
whose
fear
towards
him
is
taught
by
the
Precepts
of
men
,
and
whose
Worship
of
him
is
exercised
in
the
vain
Traditions
of
their
own
inventions
?
Hear
ye
Deaf
,
and
look
ye
Blind
,
behold
the
Lord's
Hand
is
upon
you
,
and
you
know
it
not
;
his
Judgments
are
nigh
you
,
and
you
are
not
aware
,
but
exalt
your
own
horn
,
and
some
of
you
seek
unto
your selves
a
Kingdom
to
rule
in
oppression
over
the
Poor
and
Needy
,
who
cry
to
the
Lord
day
and
night
under
the
heavy
hand
of
cruel
burdens
,
which
lie
upon
the
Innocent
,
but
you
will
not
touch
them
with
one
of
your
little
Fingers
:
Wo
is
me
for
you
,
for
your
destruction
comes
upon
you
as
an
armed
Man
,
and
your
desolation
as
an
unresistable
Flood
;
for
you
regard
not
the
oppression
of
the
Poor
,
but
make
it
a
thing
of
nought
,
you
that
pass
by
:
Hear
and
consider
ye
Parliament
of
England
,
ye
are
something
concerned
herein
;
if
you
mean
to
be
established
loose
the
oppression
of
the
Innocent
,
and
let
the
Oppressed
go
free
;
for
this
the
Lord
requires
of
you
more
then
your
Oblations
and
set
dayes
of
Humiliation
,
wherein
you
make
a
shew
of
repentance
to
the
Lord
,
and
hang
down
the
head
for
a
day
like
a
Bulrush
,
when
your
hearts
are
not
truly
upright
to
the
Lord
.
A
Declaration
I
have
viewed
,
proceeding
from
you
,
as
the
first
work
of
your
hands
;
and
therein
you
declare
your selves
to
these
three
Nations
,
in
seeming
relentings
before
the
Lord
[
I
wish
your
hearts
were
as
you
profess
]
and
first
you
say
,
Such
hath
been
the
outgoing
of
God
for
his
People
in
this
our
Generation
;
that
non●
as
men
but
must
say
,
It
is
marvelous
in
our
eyes
;
and
none
as
Christians
but
must
cry
out
,
It
is
the
Lords
Doings
.
Unto
which
I
shall
answer
,
Indeed
true
it
is
,
that
the
out-goings
and
dealings
of
the
Lord
hath
been
,
and
are
mighty
,
and
are
wonderful
in
this
Nation
,
even
for
his
People
,
which
now
are
trodden
upon
,
and
oppressed
,
to
the
shame
of
some
of
you
;
and
indeed
some
of
you
were
partakers
in
a
good
degree
of
his
Power
and
Out-goings
with
you
,
while
you
stood
in
his
Counsel
,
and
then
it
was
marvelous
in
your
eyes
,
and
you
could
cry
out
,
It
is
the
Lords
Doings
.
But
Friends
,
will
you
consider
how
you
now
stand
,
and
into
what
ye
are
fallen
;
so
as
that
instead
of
being
the
Lords
People
,
you
are
turned
Enemies
to
the
Lords
People
,
and
he
is
departed
from
you
,
and
hardly
goes
out
with
you
any
more
:
While
ye
were
little
in
your
own
eyes
ye
loved
Justice
and
Judgme●t
,
but
now
you
are
exalted
and
lifted
up
,
and
have
forgotten
the
marvelous
doing
of
our
God
;
and
Judgment
is
turned
backward
;
and
Equity
is
fallen
,
and
the
hand
of
oppression
is
laid
heavy
upon
the
Lords
Servants
:
Oh
,
that
you
would
lay
it
to
heart
before
the
decree
be
sealed
against
you
,
when
no
time
of
repentance
can
be
found
by
you
.
And
further
you
say
.
[
He
]
the
Lord
hath
alwayes
been
a
ready
Help
in
the
time
of
need
,
and
never
did
his
poor
Servants
seek
his
Face
in
vain
,
neither
did
he
ever
lend
a
deaf
Ear
to
the
voice
of
their
weeping
.
To
which
I
answer
,
Verily
its
true
,
he
is
alwayes
a
ready
help
for
us
his
Servants
in
time
of
need
,
neither
did
we
ever
seek
his
Face
in
vain
,
even
when
we
lay
under
the
grievous
oppressions
of
the
Enemy
;
nor
you
your selves
(
some
of
you
)
sought
not
in
vain
while
your
hearts
were
upright
with
him
,
but
had
the
Deliverance
desired
by
you
out
of
the
hands
of
all
your
Enemies
,
and
their
necks
to
tread
upon
,
but
it
is
not
so
now
,
inasmuch
as
you
are
become
va●…
formal
Seekers
,
and
Hypocritical
Fasters
;
and
a
deaf
Ear
will
the
Lord
lend
to
you
,
and
to
the
voice
of
your
weeping
,
till
you
remove
the
Oppression
from
off
the
neck
of
the
Distressed
;
and
you
shall
seek
his
face
and
find
no
answer
from
him
,
for
the
Vision
shall
fail
unto
you
;
and
though
you
howl
unto
him
,
and
ca●●
upon
him
,
yet
will
he
hide
his
Face
more
and
more
,
and
leave
you
to
your selves
,
and
will
not
regard
the
voice
of
your
crying
;
and
though
you
have
found
him
a
present
Help
in
time
of
trouble
,
and
of
your
need
in
the
day
of
your
Integrity
,
yet
trouble
and
destruction
shall
come
upon
you
,
and
no
help
from
him
shall
you
find
,
till
you
return
to
him
with
all
your
hearts
and
spirits
,
and
lay
down
your
own
crowns
,
and
exalt
him
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
who
is
now
appearing
in
Power
.
And
further
you
say
,
In
the
midst
of
Such
unequalled
and
signal
Mercies
,
how
gre●
hath
been
and
is
your
ingratitude
and
unfruifulness
.
To
which
I
answer
,
Truely
have
you
spoken
,
to
your
own
shame
;
for
your
ingratitude
and
unfruitfulness
exceed
many
that
went
before
you
,
which
justly
were
cut
off
for
the
very
sins
of
which
you
are
highly
guilty
;
and
more
may
I
add
unto
your
confession
,
How
great
hath
been
and
is
your
Oppressions
,
a●●
Pride
,
and
Vain-glory
,
and
Self-exaltings
,
and
hypocritical
Fastings
,
and
Confessions
with
your
mouths
,
when
your
hearts
are
far
from
the
Lord
;
yea
,
〈◊〉
your
Mercies
have
been
unequalled
,
so
your
sins
cannot
be
numbred
,
as
thou●…
you
sinned
that
grace
might
abound
,
or
did
evil
that
good
might
come
;
or
to●…
liberty
to
your
own
hearts
lusts
,
from
your
former
Mercies
and
Deliveranc●
received
.
Then
further
you
say
,
Should
the
Lord
say
unto
you
,
as
once
he
did
unto
Ephraim
,
Ephraim
is
joyned
to
Idols
,
let
him
alone
;
that
same
Sentence
would
be
your
●●sert
;
as
insensibility
is
your
crime
,
so
it
might
be
too
justly
made
your
punishment
.
Answer
,
Yea
verily
the
Lord
may
say
so
unto
you
,
many
of
ye
Rulers
〈◊〉
England
are
joyned
to
Idols
,
let
them
alone
;
and
that
same
Sentence
is
your
●…sert
,
but
insensibility
is
not
wholly
your
crime
;
for
you
have
had
a
day
of
vi●tation
from
the
Lord
,
in
warning
of
you
by
the
mouth
of
his
Servants
,
and
y●●
are
not
altogether
unsensible
of
your
crime
of
great
Oppressions
,
and
false
Worships
,
and
Idol
Shepherds
Oblations
,
which
you
are
joyned
unto
,
and
your
punishment
will
justly
be
the
same
;
for
the
time
comes
that
it
shall
be
Darkness
a●●
Night
upon
you
;
and
you
shall
seek
the
Word
of
the
Lord
but
shall
not
〈◊〉
it
;
for
God
will
smite
your
Idol
Shepherds
,
and
break
down
your
Idols
Alta●
of
vain
Traditions
;
and
the
Lord
will
leave
you
to
your selves
to
wallow
i●
Darkness
,
and
in
the
way
of
Death
;
and
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
shall
le●
you
alone
,
and
shall
no
more
weary
themselves
with
seeking
to
reclaim
you
.
And
further
you
say
,
Who
hath
been
melted
with
Mercy
?
Who
hath
been
broken
b●
Iudgments
?
A
sinful
Nation
;
A
People
laden
with
iniquity
;
A
seed
of
Evil-do●●●
;
Children
that
are
Corrupters
:
They
have
forsaken
the
Lord
;
they
have
provoked
the
●…ly
One
of
Israel
to
Anger
;
they
are
gone
away
backwards
;
Why
should
ye
be
stricken
〈◊〉
more
?
ye
will
revolt
more
and
more
.
And
further
you
say
,
As
those
sad
words
do
C●●racterise
us
as
filthy
as
those
of
Judah
;
so
if
that
sad
destruction
should
also
be
our
doom
,
〈◊〉
could
not
but
acknowledge
the
Lord
is
righteous
in
all
his
Wayes
.
Answ.
Verily
few
of
you
have
been
melted
by
Mercies
,
or
broken
by
Judgments
,
but
are
a
sinful
Nation
,
a
People
laden
with
iniquity
,
a
seed
of
Evil-doers
;
and
ye
have
read
your
own
Character
fully
;
for
you
have
forsaken
the
Lord
,
and
are
Children
that
are
Corrupters
,
and
are
gone
away
backward
,
an●
provoke
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
to
Anger
;
and
true
it
is
,
Why
should
you
he
stricken
any
more
,
or
warned
?
For
you
will
revolt
,
and
turn
aside
more
and
more
;
how
truly
have
you
numbred
up
the
sum
of
your
own
state
,
even
to
your
shame
and
confusion
of
face
,
and
to
the
justifying
of
the
Lord
,
when
he
in
Vengeance
appears
to
judge
you
,
and
even
assuredly
that
sad
denunciation
will
be
your
doom
,
and
the
same
Judgments
shall
overtake
you
when
the
Seed
is
gathered
out
from
among
you
,
even
desolation
of
Cities
,
and
madness
of
Prophets
,
and
God
will
smite
you
together
with
confusion
,
and
you
shall
not
bring
forth
deliverance
in
the
Land
,
neither
shall
the
Nations
have
peace
in
your
dayes
,
while
you
revolt
when
you
are
stricken
,
and
persecute
the
Innocent
when
they
warn
you
.
And
in
the
day
of
your
recompence
,
you
shall
indeed
confess
to
your
condemnation
,
that
the
Lord
is
righteous
in
all
his
ways
;
and
further
you
say
,
How
deeply
have
you
grieved
your
God
,
in
not
mourning
as
you
ought
,
for
that
profainness
and
b●●●●●ness
that
is
so
ripe
amongst
you
,
even
under
such
means
of
knowledge
and
grace
,
and
in
not
being
sensible
under
,
nor
making
a
sanctified
use
of
those
rebukes
you
have
of
late
received
.
Answ.
Yea
,
you
have
,
and
do
daily
even
in
your
set
days
,
and
times
of
Fasting
,
deeply
grieve
the
Lord
God
,
in
not
mourning
and
fasting
,
with
a
heart
prepared
to
the
Lord
,
but
even
in
hypocrisie
,
and
even
for
strife
and
debate
:
indeed
ignorance
,
and
prophaneness
,
and
barrenness
abounds
among
you
,
and
you
are
ripe
therein
to
be
cut
down
for
the
fire
,
even
the
more
ye
are
inexcusable
,
because
you
have
neglected
the
Messages
of
the
Grace
of
God
,
and
means
of
knowledge
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lords
despised
Servants
,
whom
you
have
persecuted
,
even
in
cruelty
,
some
of
them
unto
death
,
and
have
imprisoned
others
unjustly
,
while
your
false
Prophets
and
Diviners
have
been
set
up
by
you
,
who
have
daubed
you
with
untempered
Morter
;
and
you
have
made
your
hearts
unsensible
,
by
heardening
your
hearts
against
reproof
and
rebukes
,
which
some
of
you
of
late
have
received
;
the
Messengers
of
which
rebukes
have
been
evil
and
shamefully
entreated
in
your
Towns
,
Steeple-houses
,
and
High-wayes
,
and
elsewhere
in
your
Dominions
;
and
how
should
you
but
be
ignorant
,
and
prophane
,
and
barren
,
while
you
cannot
receive
the
Message
of
Light
,
but
stumbles
at
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
cannot
believe
in
the
Light
wherewith
Christ
Jesus
hath
enlightened
every
one
of
you
,
which
is
the
way
to
knowledge
,
and
to
receive
righteousness
into
your
Souls
,
and
therein
to
be
fruitfull
to
the
Lord
.
And
you
say
,
Every
individual
man
hath
help●d
to
fill
up
the
m●●sure
of
their
s●…
;
First
,
in
not
improving
●erc●●s
so
fully
as
might
h●…e
been
to
●is
glory
from
〈◊〉
they
were
received
.
I
answer
,
Indeed
I
believe
not
one
of
you
may
be
excused
in
the
sight
of
God
,
but
are
all
guilty
in
filling
up
the
measure
of
transgression
,
and
even
i●
not
improving
mercies
to
the
glory
of
God
;
for
had
you
improved
the
great
mercies
of
your
Deliverance
and
Conquest
over
your
Enemies
,
the
Nations
had
been
in
peace
and
rest
before
this
day
;
but
you
strove
to
glorifie
your selves
,
and
sought
a
Kingdom
of
Riches
and
Honour
to
your selves
,
and
who
might
be
the
greatest
and
the
highest
,
to
the
pleasure
of
some
,
and
to
the
grief
of
others
;
and
you
improved
mercies
to
your selves
,
and
not
to
him
that
gave
them
;
and
therefore
is
your
Dominions
filled
with
distractions
,
and
fears
,
and
troubles
are
on
every
side
,
and
your
Dominions
are
as
broken
Vessels
that
cannot
be
joyned
together
,
but
are
full
of
wickedness
,
and
false
Sects
,
and
Idol-worships
,
and
in
your
own
Councels
are
you
filled
with
confusions
:
and
thus
it
is
justly
come
to
pass
upon
you
,
because
of
your
transgressions
.
Again
you
say
,
In
the
s●●
neglect
and
w●●t
of
Activity
,
Resolution
and
Integrity
in
Magistrates
,
and
others
impowered
therein
,
for
the
punishment
and
suppression
of
Vice
and
crying
Enormities
.
I
answer
,
True
,
it
is
a
sad
neglect
;
and
want
of
Activity
and
Integrity
in
the
Magistrates
hath
been
,
and
is
,
to
punish
and
suppress
vice
;
and
therefore
it
abounds
in
all
fulness
in
the
very
Streets
,
and
it
hath
been
wholly
contrary
;
for
Vice
hath
gone
at
liberty
,
while
the
Magistrates
,
and
such
who
have
been
impowered
,
have
been
active
,
and
full
of
rigour
,
and
no
neglect
found
in
them
to
punish
(
or
rather
to
oppress
and
suppress
)
the
Innocent
and
Meek
of
the
Earth
,
and
even
they
have
done
violence
to
the
Harmless
,
witness
most
parts
of
Prisons
this
day
in
England
,
how
many
have
been
beat
and
abused
,
and
haled
,
and
knocked
down
with
Staves
,
in
the
sight
of
some
of
the
Magistrates
,
and
how
many
have
been
imprisoned
for
passing
on
the
High-wayes
,
and
through
their
Towns
,
and
some
for
declaring
against
Vice
and
crying
Enormities
,
which
one
day
must
be
laid
to
yours
and
their
charge
;
for
a
sad
neglect
hath
been
for
want
of
Justice
and
true
Judgment
,
and
they
that
have
been
impowered
,
have
turned
their
power
against
the
Lord
,
and
have
been
active
to
lay
their
Sword
upon
the
guiltless
,
while
the
guilty
have
gone
free
,
witness
many
who
have
been
beat
in
your
Steeple-houses
by
violent
men
,
and
afterwards
committed
to
Prison
,
while
the
Peace-breakers
and
Violent
have
gone
free
;
and
indeed
it
is
time
to
lay
these
things
to
heart
;
for
till
you
purge
your selves
from
these
iniquities
,
you
shall
never
be
established
,
nor
your
Dominions
in
peace
;
for
these
things
,
and
such
like
abominations
are
you
filled
with
distractions
,
and
fears
compass
you
about
,
and
that
justly
from
the
hand
of
the
Lord
,
as
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
shall
answer
in
the
dreadfull
day
of
account
,
which
cometh
suddenly
upon
you
.
Again
you
say
,
In
the
abominable
blasphemies
vented
and
spread
of
late
through
the
Apostacy
of
,
and
the
abuse
of
liberty
,
by
many
professing
Religion
.
Answ.
No
doubt
but
Blasphemy
is
a
crying
sin
,
whereof
the
Land
is
guilty
,
if
you
were
able
to
judge
thereof
but
rather
indeed
this
cause
is
not
rightly
stated
;
for
you
call
that
Blasphemy
,
which
is
Truth
,
such
is
the
grievous
ignorance
of
some
of
you
:
And
this
,
I
am
sure
,
is
your
greater
sin
,
condemning
the
guiltless
,
rather
then
suffering
the
guilty
in
this
particular
.
Friends
,
beware
,
lest
your
judgment
be
so
corrupted
,
that
you
call
evil
good
,
and
good
evil
,
and
thereupon
approve
the
evil
,
and
reprove
the
good
,
being
given
up
to
hardness
of
heart
,
and
blindness
of
mind
;
and
such
were
the
sins
of
the
Rulers
in
Israel
,
who
persecuted
the
true
Prophets
under
the
account
of
Blasphemy
,
and
such
like
,
and
approved
of
the
Prophets
that
prophesied
falsly
,
and
of
the
Priests
that
bore
rule
by
their
means
;
for
the
People
loved
to
have
it
so
,
Ier.
5.
My
soul
wisheth
that
you
Rulers
may
be
wise
,
and
ye
Judges
may
be
learned
in
this
particular
,
lest
you
go
in
the
way
of
your
fore-fathers
to
destruction
,
persecuting
the
Innocent
without
cause
,
through
false
judgment
of
the
way
of
Truth
,
which
may
be
called
by
you
Heresie
and
Blasphemy
,
who
in
the
blindness
of
your
minds
cannot
discern
of
the
things
of
God
;
for
in
that
way
which
the
wisdom
of
the
World
calls
Heresie
,
do
we
worship
the
God
of
our
Fathers
:
and
verily
,
so
much
the
more
I
may
warn
you
herein
,
to
take
heed
for
the
time
to
come
,
because
you
have
some
of
you
been
highly
guilty
of
this
transgression
of
late
,
even
in
condemning
the
guiltless
concerning
this
offence
;
so
that
thus
for
you
I
may
more
truly
state
the
particular
,
In
the
abominable
violence
and
oppressions
acted
of
late
upon
the
Innocent
,
and
them
who
have
worshipped
God
in
the
Spirit
,
through
the
wickedness
of
some
Rulers
,
and
the
abuse
of
liberty
,
by
them
,
which
have
professed
love
to
God
and
his
Way
,
through
the
false
judgments
,
and
unsavoury
opinions
of
many
,
who
have
called
Truth
Error
,
and
the
Way
of
God
Blasphemy
:
And
this
is
your
sin
,
of
which
,
if
you
that
are
guilty
repent
not
,
and
turn
from
it
,
and
beware
of
it
for
time
to
come
,
your
honour
shall
fall
into
the
dust
,
and
your
fall
shall
be
more
deeper
into
confusion
and
destruction
then
any
that
have
yet
gone
before
you
;
for
of
late
the
Lord
powerfully
hath
begun
to
work
,
and
to
vent
his
Truths
through
the
Mouthes
of
his
Servants
,
and
to
bring
out
of
the
Apostacy
and
Blasphemies
(
which
hath
reigned
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
)
the
true
and
pure
Religion
,
which
stands
in
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
.
Again
you
say
,
In
the
little
love
and
tenderness
which
is
even
amongst
Professors
themselves
towards
one
another
,
who
whilest
they
contend
for
things
disputeable
,
lose
th●
which
is
certain
,
even
charity
;
without
which
they
become
as
sounding
Brass
,
or
tinkling
Cymbals
.
Answ.
This
is
also
your
sin
,
and
the
sin
of
the
Nation
,
want
of
love
and
tenderness
in
Professors
towards
God
,
and
one
towards
another
;
and
that
love
which
appears
,
is
but
the
shew
,
and
in
the
form
and
likeness
of
things
,
and
not
from
the
true
ground
of
love
and
peace
;
and
these
are
they
that
hate
the
Light
,
and
walk
not
in
the
Light
wherewith
Christ
Jesus
hath
lighted
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
in
which
the
unity
of
the
Saints
doth
stand
,
and
in
which
their
love
is
one
to
another
;
and
they
that
are
out
of
the
Light
,
are
without
charity
,
which
is
the
bond
of
perfection
;
and
these
that
know
not
the
Light
of
Christ
,
to
guide
them
in
the
Wayes
of
God
,
are
in
all
their
profession
,
and
words
;
and
actions
,
as
sounding
Brass
,
and
as
a
tinkling
Cymbal
,
and
these
are
they
that
are
in
the
Disputes
,
and
Contentions
,
and
Strife
about
the
Letter
,
drawing
their
own
Consequences
and
Deductions
from
it
,
in
their
own
wisdom
,
and
knowledge
,
and
sensual
understanding
,
and
those
lose
the
Substance
,
and
know
not
that
which
is
certain
,
Christ
Jesus
in
them
,
to
be
Ruler
over
them
;
but
are
as
dry
Trees
,
to
be
plucked
up
;
and
all
their
Profession
will
wither
,
and
all
their
pretended
love
will
perish
,
and
their
shew
of
things
in
the
outward
appearance
will
be
confounded
,
who
know
not
the
Light
of
Christ
to
guide
them
;
which
Light
is
the
ground
of
true
love
and
tenderness
,
and
brings
to
the
knowledge
of
things
certain
,
out
of
the
contention
of
things
disputable
.
But
further
you
say
,
In
allowing
difference
in
Forms
,
more
power
to
divide
Christians
,
then
Agreements
in
fundamentals
has
to
unite
them
,
one
of
the
dangerousest
and
fruitfulest
seeds
that
hath
been
sown
by
the
envious
One
.
Answ.
Christians
are
they
that
follow
Christ
Jesus
,
who
are
not
so
only
in
name
,
but
in
practice
;
and
they
are
one
,
and
cannot
be
divided
as
they
walk
in
the
Light
which
comes
from
Christ
,
who
is
the
Foundation
,
or
Fundamental
Principle
of
the
Religion
,
which
is
not
in
Form
but
in
Power
,
agreeing
in
the
Foundation
,
and
in
the
whole
building
:
But
Friends
,
you
seem
to
charge
the
late
Powers
of
the
Nation
,
if
not
your selves
,
yet
some
part
of
your
Body
,
which
now
are
in
power
,
with
great
things
,
with
no
less
then
to
be
Satans
Seedsmen
;
for
if
allowing
difference
in
Forms
be
the
dangerousest
and
fruitfullest
Seed
that
ever
was
sown
by
the
envious
One
,
as
you
say
it
is
;
then
who
do
you
blame
,
either
the
fore-going
Parliaments
,
of
which
some
of
you
have
been
,
and
so
cannot
be
clear
from
that
evil
,
or
the
Protector
himself
?
and
this
seem
to
be
a
very
great
charge
upon
him
(
whose
judgment
is
appearingly
to
give
allowance
unto
difference
in
Forms
)
to
be
the
Seedsman
of
Satan
,
or
to
allow
the
envious
One
to
sow
the
Seed
which
you
call
dangerous
;
it
is
not
Christians
that
are
divided
,
but
the
Sects
and
false
Opinions
,
men
of
corrupt
minds
.
Thus
much
in
answer
to
the
words
as
they
are
laid
down
:
but
I
rather
chuse
to
speak
to
the
mind
or
intent
of
the
Penmans
spirit
of
your
Declaration
,
which
implieth
an
inclining
to
be
against
many
Forms
,
and
to
bind
up
all
into
one
Form
of
Worship
;
and
so
thereby
,
though
some
which
is
evil
would
be
shut
out
,
yet
would
the
true
spiritual
Worship
of
the
Saints
above
all
assuredly
thereby
be
excluded
,
and
the
tender
spirits
of
People
,
who
truly
seek
God
,
would
be
oppressed
:
But
keep
your selves
from
that
evil
,
I
warn
you
,
lest
you
be
broken
,
and
never
bound
up
;
and
lay
no
Law
,
nor
make
no
Law
upon
Religion
;
but
let
Religion
defend
it self
;
only
lay
your
Law
upon
Peace-breakers
,
and
violent
men
,
and
bind
not
mens
Consciences
to
a
Worship
by
your
Precepts
,
either
made
already
,
or
by
such
as
may
be
made
;
if
you
ease
the
Oppressed
,
so
God
will
establish
you
in
peace
,
if
you
fulfil
his
Will
herein
.
Again
you
say
,
In
not
being
fully
sensible
,
though
the
Lord
in
the
depth
of
his
wisdoms
and
righteous
Iudgments
hath
for
some
years
last
past
been
overturning
several
Authorities
in
these
Nations
,
and
hath
,
as
it
were
,
been
pouring
them
from
Vessel
to
Vessel
,
he
hath
been
pleased
ever
since
his
people
publickly
contended
for
his
Truths
,
still
to
set
up
Rulers
who
have
allowed
them
the
free
exercise
and
profession
of
them
.
Answ.
Indeed
you
are
not
sensible
of
the
righteous
Judgments
of
God
in
overturning
several
Authorities
in
the
Nation
;
and
therefore
you
go
in
the
same
abominations
as
they
did
who
were
overturned
,
till
you
also
be
overturned
,
as
they
were
:
But
take
heed
to
your selves
lest
you
be
more
then
poured
from
Vessel
to
Vessel
,
even
spilt
in
the
dust
of
misery
,
and
never
more
gathered
again
.
Your
last
part
of
this
particular
is
false
,
for
we
that
are
in
the
pure
Religion
,
and
in
the
Exercise
of
our
pure
Consciences
,
have
not
from
some
of
you
our
Liberty
,
but
are
cast
into
Goals
and
Dungeons
,
and
banished
out
of
yo●●
Towns
and
Cities
some
of
us
,
by
some
that
have
been
Rulers
set
up
;
if
this
be
doubted
by
you
,
examine
through
your
Nation
,
true
testimony
may
be
given
;
so
that
here
you
have
spoken
better
of
the
Rulers
then
indeed
it
is
,
and
would
make
the
Nation
believe
untruths
to
establish
you
;
though
I
condemn
not
all
,
but
my
words
are
towards
the
Guilty
,
that
they
may
repent
,
lest
they
perish
in
their
iniquities
,
and
be
cut
off
in
their
transgressions
,
and
the
Curse
be
upon
you
all
for
the
sake
of
some
.
Again
you
say
,
In
that
Athiestical
and
luke-warm
Spirit
,
too
commonly
a●…gst
you
,
whereby
not
only
the
Form
,
but
also
the
Power
of
Godliness
is
reproached
,
and
accounted
as
a
vain
thing
;
but
also
too
many
have
fallon
from
their
first
love
,
and
others
este●…
themselves
rich
whilst
they
are
miserable
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
;
sins
which
●…e
the
highest
aggravated
,
by
being
committed
in
Countries
where
the
glorious
Light
of
the
Gospel
shin●s
clearest
.
Answ.
This
you
have
confessed
truly
to
your
own
shame
,
in
the
sight
of
other
Nations
;
your
spirit
is
not
only
luke-warm
unto
Righteousness
,
but
it
is
too
●●mmon
among
some
of
you
to
be
zealous
and
hot
in
persecuting
the
Way
of
Righteousness
;
and
indeed
many
of
you
are
grosly
fallen
from
your
first
Love
and
Integrity
,
and
thereby
the
Power
of
Godliness
is
not
only
reproached
by
you
,
but
persecuted
and
counted
vile
,
and
they
that
live
in
it
oppressed
;
such
is
your
zeal
in
your
dead
Form
,
some
of
you
,
that
even
you
count
the
true
Way
and
Worship
of
God
madness
;
and
you
are
the
men
that
esteem
your selves
rich
while
you
are
miserable
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
,
and
your
sins
are
aggravated
the
more
and
higher
,
because
God
gives
you
warning
daily
by
the
mouth
of
his
Servants
,
who
hold
forth
the
Light
of
the
glorious
Gospel
,
and
bears
witness
unto
your
faces
against
your
Abominations
and
Idolatries
committed
by
you
,
yet
for
all
this
you
continue
in
your
iniquities
,
and
evil
entreat
the
Messenge●
of
Peace
unto
you
souls
,
and
are
the
men
indeed
which
are
Athiestical
,
ev●●
many
by
their
work
,
saying
in
their
hearts
there
is
no
God
,
and
as
truly
as
yo●
have
confessed
your
sins
,
so
must
you
confess
the
justness
of
the
Judgments
of
God
upon
your
own
heads
,
if
you
return
not
unto
the
living
God
,
and
own
the
day
of
your
Visitation
.
Again
you
say
,
In
being
more
dissatisfied
that
you
have
not
obtained
all
you
aim●d
〈◊〉
,
then
thankful
that
you
have
obtained
so
much
as
you
now
enjoy
.
Answ.
Verily
this
is
not
the
least
of
your
sins
,
but
exceed
some
others
;
f●r
you
aim
at
that
which
you
shall
never
obtain
till
you
be
thankful
,
and
walk
worthy
of
what
you
enjoy
;
and
this
is
the
way
,
Ease
the
Oppressed
,
and
take
o●f
the
yoke
of
the
Poor
and
Needy
,
and
of
the
Lord
you
may
be
heard
;
and
seek
not
your
own
honour
,
for
that
is
the
ground
of
dissatisfaction
and
unthankfulness
among
you
,
and
the
cause
why
you
abuse
the
Mercies
which
you
do
enjoy
,
having
lost
the
sence
of
the
former
dealings
of
the
Lord
with
you
.
Further
you
say
,
All
which
,
with
other
the
grievous
sins
of
these
three
Nations
ca●●
aloud
upon
all
the
good
People
in
them
,
to
lie
low
in
the
sight
of
our
offended
God
;
and
b●
Prayer
and
Humiliation
(
away
which
in
our
deepest
distresses
we
have
found
both
our
D●ty
and
Comfort
to
tread
in
)
to
seek
to
appease
his
Wrath
;
and
that
he
would
be
pleased
f●…
his
own
Names
sake
to
remove
whatever
accursed
thing
there
is
found
amongst
us
;
and
the
as
he
is
our
God
,
so
we
may
be
his
People
.
Answ.
Indeed
,
many
more
grievous
sins
are
highly
abounding
in
these
three
Nations
,
your
own
oppressions
,
and
self-seeking
honours
,
and
vain
glories
in
your
self-performed
righteousness
,
with
your
persecution
of
the
Innocent
by
grievous
unjust
Fines
and
Imprisonment
,
not
regarding
the
cry
of
the
Poor
,
which
lie
under
the
heavy
hand
of
Oppression
,
of
you
subordinate
Rulers
;
these
aboundantly
add
to
the
measure
of
the
iniquity
of
these
three
Nations
,
all
which
abomination
cry
aloud
for
vengeance
upon
the
heads
of
some
of
you
rather
then
for
humiliation
;
for
sin
cries
not
for
humility
,
this
is
your
ignorance
;
but
the
good
People
of
God
do
lie
low
in
his
sight
,
whom
you
highly
offend
every
day
;
and
they
lament
you
,
and
suffer
under
your
iniquities
,
though
you
reward
many
of
them
with
pers●●ution
,
and
hard
censures
of
cruel
dealings
,
till
of
which
your
wickedness
you
repent
,
and
turn
from
it
,
all
your
Prayers
,
and
Humilations
,
and
set
Dayes
of
seeking
God
in
your
rebellious
hypocritical
hearts
,
shall
never
appease
God's
Wrath
,
but
the
rather
shall
add
thereunto
,
and
kindle
it
more
aboundantly
against
you
:
Away
with
your
vain
Oblations
,
and
false
divining
Prophets
;
they
are
a
weariness
to
the
Lord
,
and
his
hand
is
against
them
,
while
your
hearts
are
not
upright
before
him
;
&
though
sometimes
some
of
you
have
found
God
near
in
deep
distress
when
you
called
upon
him
,
even
when
your
hearts
were
in
a
measure
upright
with
him
;
yet
in
vain
you
now
set
your selves
to
seek
him
,
and
your
cry
he
will
not
hear
;
nor
his
Wrath
shall
not
be
appeased
;
for
you
have
truly
confessed
the
cursed
thing
is
amongst
you
,
even
the
Idolatry
of
the
deepest
nature
,
both
in
Teachers
and
People
;
and
till
you
repent
and
remove
every
burden
from
off
the
Innocent
,
the
cursed
thing
cannot
be
taken
away
;
but
for
his
Names
sake
,
which
is
Equity
,
and
Justice
,
Judgment
must
he
bring
upon
your
heads
,
and
unto
you
he
will
be
a
God
of
Vengeance
,
and
unto
him
shall
you
be
a
People
of
his
Curse
,
except
you
break
off
your
sins
by
Righteousness
,
and
your
iniquities
by
shewing
mercy
to
the
Poor
.
Further
you
say
,
and
this
you
desire
,
That
he
will
infatuate
the
Counsels
,
and
defeat
the
designs
of
those
that
labour
to
exalt
themselves
against
the
Interest
of
his
Son
and
his
People
.
Answ.
Friends
,
you
or
some
of
you
are
the
men
that
seek
to
exalt
your selves
(
and
not
it
)
and
therefore
against
the
Son
of
God
and
his
People
;
instance
the
unjust
suffering
of
many
of
God's
People
,
who
know
the
Son
in
them
to
rule
them
under
your
Laws
upheld
by
you
,
and
acted
in
by
some
of
your selves
;
and
you
say
in
your
hearts
you
will
not
have
this
man
to
reign
over
you
,
for
you
own
not
the
Bringers
of
that
Message
,
but
uphold
your
false
Prophts
,
which
speak
smooth
things
to
you
,
and
cry
Peace
while
you
follow
your
own
wayes
;
and
verily
,
herein
you
go
to
seek
God
against
your selves
,
to
your
own
destruction
,
as
being
some
of
you
the
very
men
guilty
of
the
Abominations
which
you
set
and
propound
to
your selves
in
your
Humiliation
to
pray
against
:
Your
Eyes
are
blind
,
and
your
Hearts
unbelieving
,
and
ye
know
not
what
you
do
;
and
your
own
Counsels
and
Designs
,
or
so
much
of
them
at
least
,
as
are
against
the
Innocent
,
are
sure
to
be
infatuated
and
defeated
,
and
you
shall
receive
from
the
Lord
the
answer
of
your
requests
upon
your
own
heads
;
for
you
labour
against
the
Interest
of
the
Son
,
while
you
seek
to
bind
any
mans
Conscience
to
this
or
that
Worship
.
Again
you
say
,
That
he
will
be
pleased
in
a
most
special
manner
to
vouchsafe
his
Presence
to
those
who
are
entrusted
with
the
Management
of
the
Affairs
of
these
Nations
.
Answ.
If
you
do
his
Will
,
and
fulfil
his
Ordinances
of
Justice
and
Equity
towards
all
men
,
not
seeking
your selves
in
any
thing
,
but
the
Lord
in
all
things
,
and
wait
on
him
in
his
Light
,
by
which
Christ
lightneth
every
one
of
you
,
to
be
guided
thereby
in
all
your
wayes
,
then
his
Presence
you
may
enjoy
in
a
special
manner
,
in
the
managing
of
all
Affairs
to
his
Glory
;
but
if
you
keep
not
the
Conditions
of
the
Lord
in
seeking
his
Honour
only
,
and
in
denying
your selves
,
his
Presence
you
shall
not
find
with
you
,
but
shall
be
filled
with
desolations
and
contentions
;
and
the
Nations
over
whom
you
are
entrusted
shall
not
have
Peace
nor
Deliverance
in
your
days
,
but
they
under
you
shall
have
Confusion
and
Oppressions
,
and
the
special
Pretence
of
the
Lord
shall
not
be
shown
to
you
or
them
;
and
remember
this
is
a
Warning
to
you
.
Again
you
say
,
That
he
will
appear
,
the
Mighty
Councellor
experimentally
unto
them
.
Answ.
If
you
stood
in
his
Counsel
,
and
walk
in
uprightness
of
heart
before
him
in
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
then
will
he
appear
to
be
mighty
in
his
Counsel
with
you
and
for
you
;
otherwise
you
shall
be
given
up
to
follow
the
counsel
of
your
own
hearts
,
which
shall
never
bring
forth
good
,
but
evil
to
your selves
,
and
to
your
whole
Nations
;
and
this
shall
you
know
experimentally
by
the
Light
in
your
own
Consciences
.
Again
you
say
,
That
he
would
in
all
things
spirit
you
unto
the
Work
unto
which
you
are
called
,
and
give
you
unity
among
your selves
,
even
the
best
Unity
,
that
of
the
Spirit
,
in
the
best
Bond
,
that
of
Peace
;
that
as
you
are
a
People
abounding
in
Mercies
,
so
you
may
abound
in
returns
.
Answ.
The
work
is
great
unto
which
you
are
called
,
and
shall
hardly
be
accomplished
by
you
,
except
you
receive
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
to
be
ruled
therewith
in
your
own
hearts
;
for
if
you
rule
for
him
,
you
must
first
be
ruled
by
him
,
[
Mark
]
and
ordered
with
his
Light
,
which
will
condemn
every
evil
affection
in
you
;
and
this
is
the
Spirit
of
Unity
in
the
best
Bond
of
Peace
,
which
is
most
precious
,
which
brings
forth
a
humble
walking
with
the
Lord
in
all
righteousness
before
him
;
and
being
led
every
one
in
particular
with
this
Spirit
,
and
united
to
God
,
and
one
to
another
,
in
not
seeking
your selves
,
but
the
Lord
:
This
is
the
Way
where
God's
Blessing
is
received
,
and
a●
returning
unto
him
of
praise
for
his
Mercies
;
but
I
wish
you
are
not
rather
adding
sin
unto
sin
,
and
fulfilling
the
measure
more
and
more
of
your
transgresssions
,
till
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
break
forth
against
you
to
confound
you
forever
.
Again
you
say
,
And
that
at
last
through
the
unwearied
goodness
of
our
God
these
three
Nations
,
after
such
memorable
revolutions
,
may
be
setled
upon
the
sure
foundations
of
Truth
,
Mercy
and
Peace
,
and
his
People
henceforth
being
delivered
from
their
Enemies
,
may
serve
him
without
fear
in
holiness
and
righteousness
before
him
all
the
dayes
of
their
lives
.
Answ.
Verily
the
goodness
of
God
hath
been
unwearied
to
these
three
Nations
,
in
many
respects
it
appeareth
,
and
many
memorable
revolutions
hath
come
to
pass
in
this
last
Age
,
even
in
cutting
down
one
Power
and
Authority
of
Oppression
after
another
,
till
many
great
Mountains
are
removed
,
and
the
Nations
levelled
;
and
the
Lord
is
now
bringing
his
great
Work
to
pass
i●
overturning
once
and
again
,
till
his
Reign
and
his
Kingdom
be
exalted
over
all
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
if
you
shorten
not
your
hand
in
your
Oppositions
and
Persecutions
,
your selves
shall
also
be
overturned
,
that
God
may
in
Righteousness
settle
these
Nations
(
which
remain
as
a
wavering
Leaf
,
and
as
an
ungirded
Vessel
,
full
of
strife
and
distraction
,
fears
and
jealousies
)
eve●
among
your
own
selves
,
unsetled
in
your
Wayes
and
Thoughts
in
Truth
,
Mercy
and
Peace
;
but
in
Gainsayings
,
and
Oppositions
,
and
Confusions
,
stand
tottering
like
a
rotten
Hedge
;
and
the
Proud
are
exalted
,
and
the
poor
are
despised
,
and
they
that
love
Sion
are
set
at
nought
;
and
verily
you
go
not
the
way
to
settle
the
Nations
upon
the
true
Foundation
,
but
backslides
from
the
Way
of
Truth
:
Which
is
the
Foundation
,
upholding
of
iniquity
,
and
establishing
the
false
Prophets
and
Diviners
by
a
Law
;
and
such
whom
the
Lords
wrath
is
against
,
who
upholds
the
horrible
filthy
thing
,
and
abominations
of
the
Earth
;
and
confusion
is
upon
them
,
till
they
be
overthrown
,
never
to
deceive
the
Nations
more
?
Therefore
hear
ye
Deaf
,
and
look
ye
Blind
,
and
understand
ye
Hard-hearted
,
love
Truth
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Peace
in
your
own
hearts
,
and
and
depart
from
Iniquity
;
and
cast
away
your
Idols
,
and
cease
from
evil
,
and
learn
to
do
well
;
and
put
away
the
evil
of
own
doings
,
and
turn
to
the
Lord
in
this
the
day
of
your
Visitation
,
and
to
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
wherewith
he
hath
lightened
you
;
take
heed
thereby
to
be
guided
every
one
in
particular
,
in
fear
and
tenderness
,
towards
God
,
and
towards
man
;
not
ruling
in
Tyranny
and
Oppression
,
nor
making
Laws
in
your
own
wills
,
according
to
your
own
thoughts
,
as
some
that
went
before
you
have
done
,
till
they
were
cut
off
,
as
you
are
Witnesses
,
who
were
made
in
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
their
Executioners
;
and
if
you
follow
in
any
measure
their
Example
of
Wickedness
,
take
them
for
an
Example
in
a
cursed
end
;
in
love
to
all
your
Souls
this
I
write
,
and
not
to
shame
you
in
your
wickedness
,
but
rather
that
you
may
repent
,
and
that
you
may
know
how
to
exercise
your selves
in
the
Law
of
God
towards
the
Nations
,
and
that
every
Burden
may
be
removed
,
and
the
Oppressed
may
go
free
,
and
the
Bands
of
Iniquity
may
be
broken
;
and
this
is
the
Fast
accepted
of
the
Lord
,
required
of
him
from
you
,
which
if
you
observe
with
your
whole
hearts
,
a
Blessing
will
the
Lord
made
you
unto
the
Nations
in
this
present
Age
,
and
unto
your selves
for
evermore
;
but
if
you
hearden
your
hearts
against
the
Lord
,
and
tread
in
the
steps
of
your
fore-fathers
,
and
seek
to
limit
the
Holy
One
,
or
to
bind
the
tender
Consciences
of
the
People
of
God
,
then
shall
you
fall
into
their
perdition
,
and
be
swallowed
up
in
everlasting
confusion
,
and
your
Memorial
shall
stink
in
Generations
to
come
,
and
shall
be
a
hissing
among
the
Heathen
Kingdoms
,
and
deliverance
will
God
bring
another
way
unto
his
People
,
to
your
overthrow
,
if
you
walk
not
in
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
.
And
whereas
upon
the
considerations
and
purposes
aforesaid
,
you
have
ordered
,
that
a
Day
be
observed
and
kept
for
solemn
Humiliation
,
and
seeking
the
Face
of
God
,
through
the
mediation
of
Christ
,
in
England
,
Scotland
and
Ireland
.
To
which
,
in
much
tenderness
of
spirit
I
desire
to
say
,
That
if
you
seek
his
Face
in
the
hardness
of
your
hearts
,
and
in
the
way
of
your
own
precepts
,
while
the
yoke
of
the
great
Oppressions
in
the
Nations
are
not
broken
from
off
the
neck
of
the
Poor
,
his
Face
you
shall
not
behold
,
though
you
seek
it
,
but
in
vain
shall
you
weary
your selves
,
and
shall
travel
without
issue
,
as
to
that
which
you
desire
,
and
his
Countenance
shall
be
hid
from
you
,
till
he
shew
his
Face
for
evil
against
you
,
and
not
for
good
;
and
to
you
it
shall
be
said
,
To
what
purpose
are
your
Oblations
,
and
your
solemn
Meeting
?
Who
hath
required
it
at
your
hands
?
even
your
own
doings
and
appointed
Altars
of
Inventions
,
which
the
Lord
cannot
accept
from
you
:
Therefore
give
ear
ye
Mountains
,
and
listen
ye
tall
Cedars
;
if
you
establish
the
false
Prophets
,
which
makes
a
prey
upon
the
people
,
through
covetousness
,
and
which
acteth
the
abominations
of
Israel
,
in
preaching
for
Hire
,
and
divining
for
Money
,
and
in
crying
peace
to
the
wicked
,
by
a
Law
,
and
maintain
them
through
the
oppression
of
the
Poor
,
in
the
crying
Oppression
of
Tythes
,
or
otherwise
imposing
such
things
upon
the
tender
Consciences
by
any
Act
or
Statute
made
or
allowed
by
you
,
God
shall
not
hear
your
cry
,
nor
answer
your
request
,
nor
ever
establish
you
in
peace
,
nor
the
Nations
over
which
you
are
set
likewise
,
if
you
make
a
Law
,
or
allow
such
a
one
to
be
acted
,
which
any
way
may
tye
or
limit
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
in
any
of
his
Servants
,
from
reproving
the
abominations
of
the
Times
in
Rulers
,
Teachers
,
or
People
,
in
your
Streets
or
Temples
,
or
places
otherwise
,
at
any
time
whatsoever
,
the
Lord
will
not
hold
you
guiltless
;
nay
assuredly
,
if
you
do
but
hide
your
face
from
the
Suffering
of
such
,
who
through
the
wickedness
of
some
under
you
,
may
be
afflicted
upon
such
an
account
,
you
shall
not
be
altogether
Innocent
,
but
Gods
hand
shall
be
upon
you
likewise
:
If
any
for
Conscience
sake
deny
to
Swear
,
upon
any
account
,
according
to
the
former
vain
Customs
of
the
Nations
,
trained
up
thereto
in
ignorance
and
blindness
in
humane
traditions
,
and
thereupon
suffer
Imprisonment
,
or
Fining
,
or
otherwise
howsoever
,
by
any
Order
from
you
,
or
any
subordinate
Powers
,
you
shall
be
guilty
in
the
sight
of
God
of
that
suffering
the
Innocent
in
such
a
cause
;
much
more
shall
you
be
guilty
,
if
by
any
means
,
in
any
cause
,
upon
any
condition
,
men
be
compelled
by
any
Authority
of
this
Nation
to
swear
;
likewise
,
if
any
suffer
for
not
bowing
the
Hat
,
or
Knee
to
any
of
you
,
or
any
of
your
Judges
or
under
Officers
,
and
thereupon
be
accounted
Transgressors
,
the
Lord
shall
account
such
things
Oppression
from
your
hands
,
and
Tyranny
and
Cruelty
,
and
you
shall
not
escape
unpunished
;
as
the
Lord
lives
,
these
,
and
many
more
Abominations
cries
for
Vengeance
against
some
of
you
,
who
have
had
your
hands
deeply
dipped
in
such
Oppression
;
and
therefore
to
you
this
is
a
Warning
to
break
off
these
sins
by
righteousness
,
and
these
evils
by
true
repentance
,
lest
your
Fasts
prove
only
for
Strife
,
and
to
smite
with
the
fist
of
Wickedness
:
Clear
your selves
,
and
wash
you
hands
from
these
Abominations
,
lest
the
fruit
of
them
be
given
you
to
eat
for
Food
;
and
let
this
,
oh
ye
Rulers
,
be
acceptable
councel
unto
you
,
that
the
dayes
of
Happiness
may
appear
,
and
the
long
expected
and
waited
for
day
of
Liberty
may
yet
dawn
through
this
dark
night
of
Bondage
which
overshadows
your
heads
,
that
you
cannot
behold
the
glory
of
the
Son
,
and
herein
shall
you
be
established
,
and
we
shall
have
cause
to
bless
the
Lord
for
you
,
and
with
you
;
otherwise
you
shall
never
be
renowned
;
but
all
your
counsels
and
purposes
shall
fail
,
and
be
cursed
of
the
Lord
,
and
evil
shall
be
upon
you
,
and
upon
the
Nation
for
your
sakes
.
And
all
you
that
fear
God
,
listen
and
give
audience
,
and
let
the
fear
of
the
Lord
be
before
your
eyes
,
and
keep
your selves
pure
from
the
iniquities
which
the
rest
love
to
drink
in
;
and
though
your
power
be
shorter
,
and
your
vote
lower
then
the
uprightness
of
your
hearts
desire
,
yet
unto
God
be
faithfull
,
in
bearing
your
Testimony
for
him
,
and
against
all
that
which
,
with
the
Light
of
Jesus
,
yo●
see
to
be
contrary
to
him
,
and
be
awaked
unto
Righteousness
,
Judgment
and
Mercy
;
the
Light
is
springing
over
your
heads
,
and
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
dawning
out
of
darkness
,
and
a
Seed
is
sown
in
your
Dominions
which
cannot
be
roo●ed
out
,
till
it
have
overspread
the
Earth
,
with
the
precious
Fruit
thereof
;
and
though
it
be
striven
against
to
be
plucked
up
,
yet
shall
the
Branch
and
Root
thereof
be
everlastingly
renowned
;
for
it
is
of
the
true
Jew
,
and
he
that
falls
before
it
shall
never
more
rise
up
again
.
And
this
is
by
a
true
Lover
of
your
Souls
,
in
faithfulness
to
God
given
forth
〈◊〉
your
sakes
who
fear
the
Lord
.
EDWARD
BURROUCH
A
1697
Measure
of
the
Times
,
AND
A
Full
and
Clear
Description
of
the
Signs
of
the
Times
,
and
of
the
Changing
of
the
Times
;
and
of
the
Reign
of
Antichrist
,
who
hath
long
reigned
,
and
of
his
down-fall
,
which
is
at
hand
;
And
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
which
is
now
setting
up
in
the
Earth
.
Shewing
unto
all
People
in
all
Nation
what
the
State
of
things
have
been
in
Ages
past
,
and
what
the
State
of
thing
are
at
this
present
day
;
and
also
,
what
shall
be
the
State
of
things
hereafter
,
which
suddenly
cometh
to
pass
,
the
time
is
at
hand
,
for
times
,
are
changing
,
and
renewing
,
and
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
be
translated
into
the
Kingdom
of
the
Son
of
God
.
And
also
here
is
manifest
,
concerning
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
and
the
Root
from
whence
they
sprang
,
who
are
manifest
to
be
of
that
stock
of
false
Prophets
,
which
Christ
prophesied
of
should
come
,
and
which
the
Apostles
saw
was
coming
in
their
dayes
,
and
how
that
the
night
of
darkness
hath
been
upon
all
,
for
many
Generations
:
and
how
that
the
Beast
hath
reigned
over
Nations
and
Kingdoms
,
and
his
false
Prophet
hath
deceived
the
whole
World
,
who
have
all
worshiped
the
Beast
,
and
wandred
after
him
,
who
have
warred
against
the
Saints
,
and
overcome
them
,
and
the
whole
Earth
hath
been
made
drunk
with
the
Abominations
.
And
also
,
The
Restauration
is
described
,
which
shortly
cometh
,
wherein
Christ
shall
Reign
,
whose
right
it
is
,
and
shall
change
Laws
and
Decrees
;
and
the
Lamb
shall
be
the
Light
of
all
Nations
,
and
there
shall
be
no
need
of
any
other
,
light
,
when
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
are
become
the
Kingdoms
of
Christ
,
and
he
alone
shall
bear
the
Government
,
and
no
other
King
;
for
he
shall
rule
all
Nations
with
his
Iron
Rod
;
and
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Beast
shall
be
overthrown
,
and
his
power
subdued
,
and
they
that
have
given
their
power
to
him
shall
be
ashamed
,
and
all
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
shall
lay
their
Crown●
down
at
the
feet
of
the
Lamb
,
and
the
numberless
number
of
the
Saints
is
gathering
,
and
the
Dominion
shall
be
in
their
hands
,
and
their
King
shall
possess
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
Earth
.
THe
Lord
hath
opened
my
heart
to
declare
;
and
the
words
of
my
mouth
shall
be
the
words
of
Truth
,
and
of
a
good
Understanding
,
to
every
one
who
hath
an
ear
to
hear
;
whose
ear
the
Lord
hath
opened
to
hear
,
and
understand
things
of
old
,
and
the
state
of
things
as
they
have
been
in
Ages
,
and
Generations
past
;
and
as
now
the
state
of
things
are
at
this
day
.
Hearken
and
consider
,
and
let
your
ears
be
open
to
Instruction
;
For
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
towards
you
,
that
your
hearts
might
understand
the
things
that
belong
to
your
Peace
,
now
in
your
dayes
,
before
the
time
come
that
they
be
hi●
from
your
eyes
,
and
your
eyes
be
darkened
,
never
more
to
perceive
,
but
you
le●●
to
perish
,
and
to
dye
with
the
Uncircumcised
.
Behold
▪
and
give
ear
,
ye
Inhabitants
of
the
World
;
see
and
consider
,
in
what
state
you
are
fallen
;
even
in
a
time
of
Darkness
and
Apostacy
,
wherein
thick
Darkness
covered
all
the
World
,
and
a
vail
of
Ignorance
the
faces
of
all
People
:
Death
hath
reigned
King
over
all
,
and
the
Cloud
of
thick
Blindness
hath
lain
on
the
hearts
of
all
men
.
O
how
hath
Darkness
,
Blindness
,
and
Ignorance
covered
all
men
,
even
as
a
Cloak
and
a
Garment
?
How
hath
the
Eye
been
blinded
,
the
Ear
stopped
,
and
the
Heart
hardened
?
So
that
the
Lord
God
,
and
his
Way
,
his
Truth
,
and
Salvation
hath
not
been
manifestly
known
,
heard
,
not
felt
,
nor
witnessed
,
for
Ages
and
Generation
:
the
words
thereof
have
been
professed
,
but
the
Life
and
Power
thereof
hath
not
been
enjoye●
;
But
men
have
been
deceived
with
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
,
and
cheated
with
a
likeness
of
things
without
Life
,
and
have
sought
the
living
among
the
dead
,
and
worshipped
Idols
,
which
have
been
without
sence
and
understanding
;
and
with
lying
imaginations
,
and
feigned
likenesses
,
hath
the
carnal
part
(
which
ruled
in
People
above
the
Seed
of
God
)
been
fed
,
and
with
shadows
,
and
outward
appearances
,
and
the
soul
hath
been
starved
.
Alas
,
alas
!
wo
is
me
,
because
of
these
things
;
my
heart
within
me
is
broken
,
and
I
am
perplexed
.
The
shadow
of
Death
hath
been
the
lodging
Place
of
all
People
,
and
the
vail
of
Ignorance
hath
been
a
Covering
,
and
the
darkness
of
Heart
hath
been
followed
for
a
Law
,
and
a
blind
Understanding
hath
been
the
Guide
〈◊〉
Ordinances
and
Statutes
,
and
Death
in
the
beastly
power
hath
ruled
as
King
in
all
the
Dominions
of
the
Earth
,
and
in
all
mens
hearts
;
and
men
have
been
without
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
even
every
eye
blind
,
and
every
ear
deaf
,
and
●…ry
tongue
dumb
,
and
every
heart
corrupt
and
void
of
understanding
,
and
every
〈◊〉
lame
,
and
all
men
have
been
altogether
imperfect
;
for
the
living
God
hath
bee●
as
a
Stranger
unto
the
Children
of
men
,
less
known
by
men
then
the
Own●…
the
Ox
,
and
less
perceived
then
the
Crib
by
the
Ass
,
and
all
flesh
hath
corrupted
its
way
before
Lord
.
Wo
is
me
!
when
I
consider
how
man
,
who
was
planted
with
the
chosen
〈◊〉
,
even
God's
Image
,
and
was
a
noble
Plant
,
is
degenerated
into
the
Plant
of
a
strange
Vine
unto
God
,
and
bring
forth
wild
Grapes
,
and
sower
Grapes
,
w●…d
the
Lord's
Soul
loathes
;
and
thus
hath
the
Vineyard
and
the
Plants
th●…
rewarded
the
Husbandman
,
with
Fruit
of
a
bitter
taste
,
and
with
the
reward
corruption
;
And
man
is
condemned
in
his
transgression
,
for
want
of
the
K●…ledge
of
God
,
more
then
the
Ox
and
the
Ass.
Pride
,
Covetousness
,

In
the
dayes
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
was
the
Hand
and
Power
of
the
〈◊〉
felt
,
and
the
Lord
gat
himself
a
Name
,
and
a
Glory
;
and
he
caused
his
m●…lous
Light
to
spring
forth
,
and
his
Day
to
dawn
,
and
the
Day
was
manifest
tha●
many
Prophets
and
Wise-men
had
desired
to
see
,
but
was
not
in
their
time
fee●
by
them
,
and
his
Power
was
made
known
,
and
his
Arm
was
made
bare
in
the
sight
of
many
Nations
;
and
in
that
day
his
Glory
was
spread
abroad
,
and
●is
Truth
and
Way
was
exalted
,
and
his
glorious
Gospel
was
declared
through
〈◊〉
Earth
,
and
the
sound
of
his
marvellous
Works
went
forth
into
all
the
World
Judgment
and
Mercy
was
known
,
and
Righteousness
and
Peace
was
witne●…
among
men
,
and
Life
and
Immortallity
was
brought
to
Light
through
the
Gospel
;
and
the
Word
of
Life
by
which
all
things
were
created
,
and
by
which
they
stand
,
was
handled
,
seen
,
felt
,
and
tasted
;
and
the
Lord
God
in
that
Age
was
known
to
dwell
with
his
People
;
and
to
walk
in
them
,
and
his
Covenant
was
established
with
many
,
and
his
Promises
were
fulfilled
;
Redemption
,
Deliverance
,
and
Salvation
was
revealed
,
even
Christ
Jesus
the
Son
God
,
the
Prince
of
Peace
;
And
Righteousness
was
made
manifest
in
the
Sons
of
men
,
and
revealed
in
many
who
saw
God's
Glory
,
and
were
Witnesses
of
his
Majesty
and
Dominion
,
and
were
gathered
unto
him
in
the
Bond
of
Peace
,
and
were
his
Sons
and
Daughters
,
and
were
led
by
his
Spirit
in
all
his
Wayes
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
.
And
many
went
forth
into
the
World
,
and
declared
through
Nations
the
things
of
Gods
Kingdom
,
which
was
come
to
them
,
and
was
discovered
within
them
;
and
the
Lord
God
spake
from
Heaven
by
his
Son
unto
them
,
and
they
were
filled
with
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
with
Power
.
And
the
Lord
was
with
them
whom
he
called
,
and
made
them
Wise
,
and
their
Word
powerful
,
and
their
Message
effectual
,
and
their
Weapons
,
were
mighty
through
God
,
and
strong
Holds
were
subdued
,
and
the
Powers
of
Death
and
Darkness
were
subjected
,
and
the
Hearts
of
thousands
were
turned
to
God
,
and
the
Gospel
was
preached
in
power
through
the
World
,
and
many
were
brought
to
God
,
out
of
Darkness
into
Light
,
and
from
Satans
Power
unto
God
.
And
the
Earth
was
filled
with
Light
,
and
the
mighty
,
and
the
wise
,
were
confounded
,
and
the
bonds
of
cruel
oppressions
were
broken
,
and
they
that
set
themselves
against
the
Lord
and
his
Way
were
confounded
,
and
scattered
,
and
brought
to
nought
,
though
they
were
many
in
that
Generation
.
How
did
all
the
chief
Priests
,
and
Scribes
,
and
Pharisees
,
Elders
of
the
People
,
and
Rulers
,
and
Governours
lift
up
themselves
in
the
Pride
of
their
hearts
,
and
took
counsel
together
,
and
persecuted
the
Innocent
,
and
put
to
Death
and
Imprisoned
the
Children
of
the
Most
High
?
How
did
they
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
persecute
and
seek
for
his
Life
,
till
they
had
taken
it
from
the
Earth
,
by
their
subtilty
and
wickedness
?
The
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
were
persecuted
,
some
were
put
to
death
,
and
others
suffered
grievous
things
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
were
made
a
Prey
and
a
Spoil
unto
Destroyers
,
whose
wickedness
encreased
against
the
Way
of
God
,
till
it
was
fulfilled
in
its
measure
,
and
the
Wicked
with
their
work
were
dashed
to
peices
;
and
the
Lord
gave
his
Way
,
and
Truth
,
and
Servants
dominion
and
power
over
all
his
enemies
,
and
whole
Nations
were
brought
to
the
knowledge
of
God
and
his
Wayes
,
and
his
Name
was
glorious
,
and
his
Kingdom
was
exalted
in
the
Earth
,
and
many
were
his
People
,
who
were
gathered
by
him
,
and
his
powerful
Word
through
the
mouth
of
his
Ministers
,
whom
he
ordained
and
called
,
who
were
Fisher-men
,
and
such
like
,
who
were
chosen
to
fulfil
his
Will
,
and
to
do
his
Work
,
and
not
many
Wise-men
of
the
World
were
called
,
but
God
chose
the
foolish
things
to
confound
the
wise
then
,
as
he
doth
now
;
and
such
were
honoured
by
the
Lord
,
and
Bearers
of
his
Name
,
and
of
his
Message
,
and
Glad-tidings
,
though
they
were
contemned
of
men
;
yet
unto
such
he
gave
the
authority
to
overturn
the
wise
,
and
to
out-reach
the
wisdom
of
this
World
,
for
they
were
learned
of
the
Father
,
and
had
the
knowledge
of
his
Wayes
,
though
they
were
unlearned
in
the
Arts
and
Crafts
of
men
,
which
stand
more
in
pollicy
and
subtilty
,
then
in
the
Fear
and
Wisdom
of
God
;
and
in
that
day
the
Lord
was
with
his
People
,
while
his
People
were
with
him
,
and
he
loved
them
while
they
stood
in
his
Counsel
,
and
he
gave
them
dominion
over
all
their
Enemies
,
and
they
were
a
Terror
to
the
whole
World
,
while
the
Churches
stood
in
the
dread
and
terror
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
;
yea
,
all
bowed
under
them
,
and
their
feet
trod
upon
the
high
places
of
the
Earth
,
and
they
were
blessed
of
the
Lord
above
all
People
,
even
till
they
waxed
fat
,
and
were
increased
in
treasures
,
and
thought
they
had
need
of
nothing
,
and
then
they
forgat
God
,
and
rebelled
against
him
,
and
became
perverse
in
their
wayes
,
and
grew
into
strange
Idolatries
and
Errors
,
and
left
the
Way
of
Truth
,
and
cast
God's
Law
behind
them
,
and
the
Power
of
Godliness
ceased
,
and
the
form
grew
,
and
it
was
exalted
more
then
Power
,
and
love
waxed
cold
when
iniquity
abounded
;
and
men
became
Lovers
of
themselves
,
more
then
of
the
Lord
;
and
the
Lord
and
his
marvellous
Works
which
had
been
brought
to
pass
were
forgotten
,
and
hardness
of
heart
and
unbelief
entred
,
and
then
false
Prophets
and
Antichrist
came
in
,
which
Christ
had
prophesied
of
,
and
established
the
form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
,
and
subverted
many
(
even
whole
Houses
and
Countries
)
from
the
simplicity
of
Christ
Jesus
;
so
that
many
became
insensible
,
and
grew
past
feeling
of
the
Power
and
operation
of
God
,
and
their
minds
became
blinded
,
and
their
ears
stopped
;
and
God
was
grieved
who
had
brought
up
Children
,
and
they
forgat
him
,
and
rebelled
against
him
;
for
the
Churches
became
corrupted
,
and
lost
the
Life
and
Power
of
God
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
became
Idolaters
,
and
Worshippers
of
Idols
:
and
as
you
may
read
,
Paul
prophesied
that
many
should
depart
from
the
Faith
,
and
give
heed
to
seducing
spirits
,
and
the
doctrine
of
Devils
;
and
grievous
Woves
should
enter
,
not
sparing
the
Flock
,
but
seeking
to
devour
it
,
and
would
make
havock
and
merchandise
of
Souls
,
through
coveteousness
and
filthy
Lucre
;
and
perillous
times
would
come
,
wherein
there
should
be
a
Form
of
Godliness
and
not
the
Power
;
and
in
that
Generation
before
,
and
soo●
after
his
decease
,
this
came
to
pass
and
was
fulfilled
;
and
as
you
may
read
in
th●
Revelations
,
the
Churches
grew
into
Superstitions
and
Idolatries
;
and
the
Chuch
of
Ephesus
had
lost
her
first
Love
,
and
her
Candlestick
was
to
be
removed
,
and
so
it
came
to
pass
;
and
some
in
the
Church
of
Smyrna
were
in
the
Blasphemy
,
saying
,
they
they
were
Iews
,
and
were
not
,
but
were
the
Synogogues
of
Satan
;
and
the
Church
of
Pergamos
,
some
of
them
held
the
doctrine
of
Balaam
,
and
to
eat
thing●
sacrificed
to
Idols
,
and
to
commit
Fornication
,
and
some
held
the
doctrin●
of
the
Nicolaitans
,
which
God
hated
,
and
against
them
would
the
Lord
fight
with
the
Sword
of
his
Mouth
;
and
the
Church
of
Thyatira
suffered
that
Woman
,
I●zabel
,
to
prophesie
and
to
teach
,
and
seduced
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
to
com●it
Fornication
,
and
to
eat
things
sacrificed
unto
Idols
,
and
she
and
her
Lovers
wer●
to
be
cast
into
a
Bed
of
torment
,
and
her
Children
should
be
killed
with
Death
,
and
all
the
Churches
should
know
,
that
God
searched
the
reins
and
the
hearts
,
and
every
one
should
receive
according
to
their
deeds
;
and
the
Church
of
S●…
had
only
a
Name
to
live
,
but
was
dead
,
and
her
work
was
not
perfect
before
God
,
and
upon
them
would
the
Lord
come
as
a
Thief
,
and
they
should
be
in
Darkness
,
and
not
know
what
hour
he
would
come
;
and
the
Church
of
the
●●odiceans
were
luke-warm
,
neither
hot
nor
cold
,
and
the
Lord
would
spew
her
ou●
of
his
Mouth
,
for
she
was
wretched
,
miserable
,
and
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
,
and
the
shame
of
her
nakedness
did
appear
:
And
if
any
had
an
ear
to
hear
they
mig●t
hear
;
these
things
were
spoken
by
him
that
lives
for
ever
,
the
First
and
the
Last
,
the
Beginning
and
the
Amen
;
so
that
hereby
the
Lord's
Soul
was
vexed
and
his
Spirit
grieved
,
and
his
Wrath
was
suddenly
kindled
against
them
,
who
were
Revolters
and
Backsliders
from
his
Way
of
Salvation
,
which
he
had
made
manifest
to
them
,
through
the
mouth
of
his
Servants
;
so
that
his
Fury
went
forth
again●●
them
to
overthrow
them
,
and
to
break
them
to
peices
,
and
they
being
turned
from
his
Law
and
from
his
Statutes
,
he
gave
them
up
unto
their
own
hearts
desire
,
and
brought
in
the
Heathen
upon
them
,
to
confound
them
,
who
broke
them
assunder
,
and
trod
down
many
of
their
Cities
,
and
gained
great
Parts
of
their
Dominions
,
and
made
them
Slaves
by
multitudes
,
and
overthrew
their
Worship
,
and
subjected
their
Power
;
even
the
Turks
,
and
base
uncircumcised
People
,
made
a
Prey
upon
them
,
and
possessed
their
Habitations
,
and
set
up
abominable
Idolatries
in
the
Place
where
God's
Honour
had
dwelt
;
and
their
Dominions
and
Treasures
without
became
spoil
to
the
teeth
of
Devourers
;
for
they
having
lost
the
Terror
of
the
Lord
,
he
brought
up
the
Heathen
to
be
a
terror
unto
them
,
whose
power
was
mightier
then
they
,
and
overcame
them
,
they
being
without
the
power
of
God
;
and
they
justly
came
upon
them
,
according
to
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
,
because
of
their
backslidings
:
And
others
of
th●●
,
who
were
not
so
given
up
to
the
will
of
an
outward
Enemy
,
yet
were
they
given
up
to
strange
Idolatries
and
Subversion
,
and
setting
up
Images
,
and
worshipping
that
which
is
not
God
,
but
abomination
to
him
to
this
day
;
so
that
the
holy
City
,
which
had
been
full
of
Glory
;
was
given
to
the
Gentiles
to
be
trodden
down
;
and
under
their
polluted
feet
hath
it
been
stamped
,
and
to
their
mouth
hath
it
been
a
prey
,
for
such
a
time
,
even
since
these
things
came
to
pass
unto
this
day
,
as
you
may
read
;
and
the
Beast
and
false
Prophet
hath
ruled
in
oppression
,
and
the
great
Whore
hath
made
all
Nations
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
her
Fornication
;
All
the
great
Men
,
and
Princes
,
and
Nobles
,
and
all
the
People
upon
the
Earth
have
been
made
drunk
by
her
,
and
touched
her
uncleanness
,
and
ever
since
the
day
wherein
the
backsliding
entred
she
hath
sat
upon
Nations
,
and
Kindreds
,
and
Tongues
,
and
People
,
and
hath
been
decked
in
divers
colours
,
to
deceive
the
hearts
of
all
people
;
and
all
Nations
have
been
deceived
by
her
,
and
the
Beast
,
and
his
Power
,
whose
Dominion
hath
been
great
,
hath
upheld
Wickedness
,
by
a
Law
,
and
established
Idolatry
by
Decrees
;
and
all
have
been
out
of
the
Way
,
and
wandring
in
Blindness
and
Darkness
,
even
the
whole
World
have
worshipped
the
Beast
,
and
gone
after
the
false
Prophet
,
which
sits
upon
the
Beast
,
and
his
power
protects
him
,
till
they
be
both
overthrown
into
perdition
,
and
cast
alive
into
the
Lake
,
which
now
the
Lord
is
coming
to
do
in
Power
and
Dominion
;
and
great
Babylon
is
coming
into
remembrance
before
the
Lord
,
and
as
she
hath
done
,
so
shall
it
be
done
unto
her
;
her
Children
is
dashing
against
the
stones
,
and
her
Off-spring
is
withering
away
;
and
the
Darkness
is
vanishing
,
and
the
Sun
is
appearing
,
and
the
Beastly
Power
shall
be
subdued
,
and
the
false
Prophet
confounded
;
even
the
old
Dragon
shall
be
bound
,
and
chained
,
never
more
to
deceive
:
for
the
Beast
hath
had
a
long
reign
,
with
his
false
Prophet
,
who
have
prophesied
Lyes
,
and
false
Divinations
,
and
led
away
the
minds
of
all
People
.
For
mark
,
and
consider
,
Christ
Jesus
,
who
came
into
the
World
with
glad-tidings
of
good
things
,
even
with
Peace
and
Salvation
;
he
said
the
glorious
day
was
come
,
and
even
that
day
which
many
Prophets
and
Wise-men
had
desired
to
see
;
but
had
not
seen
;
the
earth
was
filled
with
light
,
as
I
have
said
,
yet
he
farther
prophesied
,
and
said
,
that
the
night
should
come
,
when
no
man
could
work
;
and
that
in
the
last
dayes
false
Prophets
should
arise
,
and
deceive
many
,
and
should
come
into
the
World
,
and
should
cry
,
Lo
here
is
Christ
,
and
lo
there
is
Christ
,
and
if
it
were
possible
should
deceive
the
very
Elect
;
and
the
Apostle
Iohn
in
his
time
,
who
had
been
an
eye-Witness
of
Jesus
,
and
had
handled
,
and
tasted
,
and
felt
the
Word
of
Life
,
and
had
been
with
Jesus
,
and
bore
a
true
testimony
unto
him
;
in
that
very
Age
and
Generation
he
saw
the
false
Prophets
and
Antichrists
come
,
and
coming
in
,
and
aluded
to
the
very
sayings
of
Christ
;
By
this
we
know
,
said
he
,
that
it
is
now
the
last
time
,
for
there
are
now
many
false
Prophets
and
Antichrists
gone
out
into
the
World
;
they
were
not
of
the
true
Apostles
,
but
went
out
from
among
them
(
being
gone
out
from
the
Light
in
their
own
particulars
)
and
beguiled
the
hearts
of
the
simple
,
by
good
words
,
and
fair
speeches
,
and
went
in
Balaams
way
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
in
Cains
way
to
Envy
and
Murder
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Scripture
:
So
that
in
Iohns
time
,
the
false
Prophets
,
which
Christ
foretold
of
,
were
come
,
and
they
did
deceive
many
,
according
as
Christ
had
said
,
and
they
drew
many
from
the
Wayes
of
God
,
and
subverted
many
from
the
Way
of
Truth
,
and
made
havock
of
the
Flock
,
and
were
grievous
Wolves
,
according
as
Paul
said
;
and
truth
began
to
perish
from
among
men
,
and
the
Power
thereof
ceased
,
and
the
Apostacy
came
in
,
and
the
form
was
set
up
for
a
season
;
so
that
Iohn
farther
saw
,
and
said
the
whole
World
went
after
the
Beast
and
false
Prophet
,
(
whom
he
saw
before
was
come
,
and
worshipped
the
Beast
,
and
his
Image
)
but
a
few
whose
names
were
written
in
the
Book
of
Life
:
And
,
as
I
have
said
,
the
whole
City
,
with
the
outward
Court
,
was
trodden
down
by
the
Gentiles
foot
,
and
darkness
surprised
all
,
and
wickedness
abounded
more
and
more
,
and
the
night
came
upon
all
,
as
Christ
had
prophesied
,
and
the
Beast
grew
in
his
dominion
,
till
there
was
hardly
any
man
left
to
bear
witness
in
the
Truth
,
and
in
the
Power
of
God
,
unto
the
Name
of
Jesus
;
but
all
was
subverted
into
dead
Forms
,
and
Shadows
,
and
Likenesses
without
Life
;
and
the
Lord
left
the
Earth
,
as
it
were
,
and
covered
himself
in
the
Darkness
,
and
became
a
stranger
in
the
World
,
and
did
scarce
openly
speak
by
Vision
,
nor
Dream
,
nor
Prophet
,
but
all
were
in
the
dark
,
and
Ignorance
abounded
,
and
Superstition
was
exalted
;
the
Saints
Spirit
,
and
Life
which
they
were
in
,
and
guided
by
,
was
lost
,
and
then
they
began
to
worship
the
Saints
Names
,
and
Dayes
,
and
Words
,
without
the
Life
and
Power
;
and
that
Nature
and
that
same
Seed
which
had
persecuted
the
Saints
to
death
,
and
gainsayed
the
Power
,
and
lost
the
holy
Ghost
,
turned
it self
into
the
profession
of
the
Saints
Words
,
which
were
left
upon
Record
,
and
conformed
it self
into
the
Saints
Practises
,
without
the
Life
,
Power
and
holy
Ghost
.
And
having
lost
the
Power
,
from
which
the
Scripture
was
given
forth
,
and
not
being
guided
in
the
Life
which
they
were
in
,
which
spoke
it
forth
;
then
from
the
Scripture
,
in
mens
own
conceptions
,
and
thoughts
,
and
by
their
reason
,
without
Gods
Spirit
,
they
set
up
Likenesses
,
and
Images
,
and
Sects
,
and
Forms
,
and
many
Heads
,
and
many
Horns
grew
upon
the
Beast
which
all
the
World
worshipped
and
went
after
,
for
they
had
lost
Christ
the
one
Head
,
wherein
the
Union
stood
,
and
grew
into
Idolatry
under
the
many
Heads
which
were
upon
the
Beast
,
who
had
many
Horns
,
which
pushed
one
against
another
,
as
it
is
witnessed
unto
this
day
;
do
not
the
Papists
and
Protestants
(
so
called
)
and
other
Sects
risen
out
of
them
,
push
one
at
another
,
to
break
and
tear
one
another
?
and
these
have
many
Heads
:
The
Pope
he
is
a
Head
;
and
the
others
they
have
a
Head
,
which
every
one
bowes
down
under
his
own
Head
;
the
Pope
will
not
bow
to
the
Protestants
Head
,
nor
will
the
Protestants
bow
to
the
Papists
Head
,
the
Presbyterians
and
Independ●…
,
and
Anabaptists
,
and
the
rest
,
every
one
of
them
bows
to
their
own
Head
,
and
will
not
bow
to
anothers
Head
;
and
all
these
with
their
Horns
push
one
against
another
,
to
rend
one
another
;
and
all
these
are
from
Christ
,
and
know
not
him
,
the
one
Head
of
the
whole
Body
,
and
the
one
Horn
of
God's
Salvation
unto
a●
People
;
for
Christ
which
is
but
one
is
the
Head
,
and
the
Horn
,
which
all
the
Saints
,
who
are
now
gathered
out
of
this
Apostacy
and
dark
Night
,
unto
whom
the
Light
again
is
risen
,
worship
Christ
the
one
Head
,
and
know
him
the
one
Horn
,
which
pushes
aganist
the
Devils
Kingdom
,
which
hath
long
been
set
up
,
and
rul●●
in
the
Earth
among
all
these
,
who
have
many
Heads
and
many
Horns
,
who
are
a●…
of
them
(
the
very
chiefest
)
but
in
the
night
fallen
,
in
the
Apostacy
and
Da●●ness
,
since
the
beginning
of
the
reign
of
the
Beast
,
and
the
coming
in
of
fa●…
Prophets
,
which
came
in
,
as
I
have
said
,
when
the
Churches
backslided
,
with
the
Whore
also
,
who
hath
made
all
Nations
and
People
Drunk
with
the
Wine
of
be
Fornication
;
and
the
Beast
hath
reigned
over
all
Nations
in
his
Dominion
and
Authority
,
and
the
false
Prophet
hath
prophesied
through
all
Nations
.
And
all
these
came
in
since
the
dayes
of
Christ
;
for
he
prophesied
that
i●
should
be
so
,
as
it
is
come
to
pass
;
and
they
were
coming
in
,
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
as
you
may
read
,
Paul
saw
them
coming
,
and
largely
describes
their
Character
in
several
Epistles
.
And
Peter
,
he
saw
them
coming
in
,
and
described
them
,
what
such
they
were
,
and
should
be
;
and
Iude
he
saw
them
also
;
and
Iohn
more
fully
then
any
,
both
in
his
Epistles
and
Revelations
,
as
I
have
●●●●ed
at
.
And
when
the
Apostles
were
taken
off
the
Earth
,
some
by
cruel
Deaths
,
and
others
were
banished
,
then
they
sprung
in
more
fully
,
and
grew
through
all
Nations
;
and
to
this
day
hath
the
Beast
,
with
his
many
Heads
and
many
Horns
ruled
in
Nations
,
and
been
worshipped
,
and
his
false
Prophet
hath
ever
since
been
defended
,
and
hath
riden
on
the
Beast
through
Nations
,
and
hath
deceived
Nations
with
vanity
and
error
;
and
at
this
very
day
the
Nations
and
People
are
deceived
,
and
lie
under
Darkness
in
the
slavery
and
bondage
under
the
authority
of
the
Beast
,
and
subject
to
the
doctrine
of
his
false
Prophets
.
And
as
I
have
said
Darkness
hath
been
over
all
,
and
fancies
and
likenesses
without
Life
have
been
bowed
under
,
and
the
Power
being
lost
,
the
Form
hath
been
set
up
,
one
after
this
sort
,
and
another
after
that
,
according
to
mens
vain
conceits
and
apprehensions
upon
the
Scriptures
,
and
not
according
to
the
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
fulfilleth
the
Scriptures
,
and
brings
to
live
the
Life
of
them
.
So
in
divers
Colours
,
and
in
divers
Appearances
,
and
Robes
in
several
forms
and
shapes
of
Garments
hath
the
great
Whore
been
decked
,
who
hath
sat
upon
the
Beast
,
having
the
false
Prophet
serving
as
a
Boy
or
Servant
,
to
do
whatsoever
the
Whore
listeth
;
and
the
false
Prophet
,
this
Servant
of
the
Whore
,
under
the
power
of
the
Beast
,
hath
moved
and
turned
as
the
Beast
would
;
and
according
as
the
Whore
hath
changed
her self
into
other
Garments
,
and
Colours
,
even
so
hath
the
false
Prophet
changed
his
Doctrine
,
and
Prayers
,
to
please
the
Whore
,
and
to
keep
people
under
the
Government
of
the
Beast
.
It
s
known
,
in
this
our
day
,
that
some
who
preached
and
prayed
for
the
King
and
Bishops
,
do
now
preach
and
pray
for
others
,
even
for
them
who
destroyed
the
King
and
Bishops
;
so
the
false
Prophets
with
all
his
Children
,
are
but
the
Whores
Servants
,
who
hath
made
drunk
Kings
,
and
Princes
,
and
great
Men
,
and
People
,
and
Nations
,
with
the
Cup
of
Fornication
,
and
Abomination
,
in
the
several
Sects
and
Forms
of
Worships
which
have
been
set
up
without
the
power
of
Godliness
;
for
the
Baptism
of
the
Spirit
being
lost
,
and
not
known
,
then
from
the
Letter
by
imaginations
,
were
several
sorts
of
Baptism
brought
forth
,
as
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
that
dark
folly
,
and
vain
vanity
,
which
all
these
Nations
have
been
deceived
withal
,
by
the
exercise
of
the
false
Prophet
:
And
when
the
Gift
of
the
Ministry
,
through
the
holy
Ghost
,
which
the
Ministers
of
Christ
had
,
was
lost
,
and
not
any
more
●…eceived
,
then
began
men
to
make
Ministers
,
by
natural
Learning
,
and
Arts
,
and
Languages
,
and
humane
Pollicy
;
and
when
the
gift
of
preaching
by
the
eternal
Spirit
was
lost
,
through
the
coming
in
of
the
Apostacy
,
then
began
men
to
study
from
Books
and
Writings
,
what
to
preach
,
and
say
,
not
having
the
holy
Ghost
received
in
them
,
without
which
none
are
Ministers
of
Christ
;
[
mark
that
]
and
when
men
had
lost
,
through
ignorance
,
the
Knowledge
of
God
dwelling
in
them
,
and
that
their
Bodies
were
his
Temple
,
and
that
he
dwelled
and
walked
in
his
People
,
then
began
they
again
to
build
Temples
without
,
and
to
set
up
their
false
worships
in
them
;
for
having
lost
the
sence
of
Gods
true
Worship
,
which
the
Saints
worshipped
in
,
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Truth
,
then
they
began
to
worship
in
set
Dayes
;
and
set
Times
,
and
set
Places
,
and
outward
Observances
,
which
is
not
the
worship
of
God
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Truth
,
but
Superstitious
and
Idolatrous
;
and
when
the
Word
of
God
was
not
received
immediately
from
his
Mouth
;
nor
the
Gospel
by
the
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
it
was
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
then
(
darkness
being
come
in
)
they
used
their
tongues
,
when
the
Lord
had
not
spoken
to
them
,
as
the
false
Prophets
did
before
Christs
time
;
and
long
have
they
said
the
Letter
is
the
Word
,
and
that
the
Letter
is
the
Gospel
,
and
that
it
must
be
received
by
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
natural
Learning
,
and
Arts
;
and
that
none
can
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
such
who
are
learned
in
the
Languages
,
and
knows
the
Original
of
Scriptures
,
Latine
,
and
Greek
,
and
Hebrew
,
nor
any
of
these
have
received
the
Gospel
by
revelation
,
or
the
Word
of
God
from
his
mouth
.
And
when
singing
in
the
Spirit
,
and
with
the
Understanding
was
ceased
,
and
not
known
,
then
began
People
to
get
the
Form
of
singing
of
Davids
experiences
in
Rime
and
Meeter
;
and
when
the
pure
power
of
Godliness
was
lost
,
which
was
in
the
days
of
the
Apostles
manifested
,
and
known
,
then
in
the
Apostacy
the
deceit
grew
into
the
Form
of
every
thing
which
the
Saints
had
enjoyed
in
the
Power
,
and
so
were
Shadows
set
up
instead
of
Substance
,
and
Death
instead
of
Life
,
and
the
Form
without
the
Power
,
which
in
many
Branches
sprang
forth
,
some
into
one
appearance
,
and
some
into
another
;
but
all
under
the
power
of
the
Beast
,
with
his
many
heads
and
horns
defended
;
and
until
this
day
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
thus
it
hath
been
,
and
those
very
Teachers
,
and
supposed
Ministers
,
which
now
are
in
this
,
and
other
Nations
,
are
of
that
very
Root
which
sprang
forth
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
they
are
under
the
dominion
of
the
Beast
,
and
moveable
like
unto
the
great
Whore
;
and
this
may
easily
be
proved
,
that
they
are
of
that
Generation
of
Teachers
,
and
false
Prophets
,
which
Christ
prophesied
of
should
come
,
&
which
the
Apostle
saw
was
coming
in
,
in
their
dayes
,
&
of
those
which
Iohn
saw
the
world
to
run
after
;
for
Christ
said
,
That
by
their
fruits
they
should
be
known
;
and
the
Apostles
they
described
their
fruits
,
&
them
by
their
fruits
;
and
so
we
seeing
their
fruit
to
be
the
very
same
now
,
which
the
Apostles
described
was
the
fruit
of
them
that
then
were
come
,
and
coming
;
from
whence
we
do
conclude
,
according
to
sound
judgment
,
that
these
very
Teachers
are
of
the
same
Generation
,
and
Branches
of
the
same
Root
which
sprang
forth
then
.
And
in
Pauls
Writings
you
may
read
,
such
they
were
whom
he
saw
,
of
whom
he
bad
people
to
beware
,
and
said
,
perillous
times
would
come
,
and
men
should
be
Lovers
of
themselves
,
Covetous
,
Proud
,
Blasphemers
,
Disobedient
to
Parents
,
Unthankfull
,
Unholy
,
without
Natural
Affection
,
false
Accusers
,
Fierce
,
Despisers
of
those
that
are
good
,
Heady
,
High-minded
,
Lovers
of
Pleasures
,
more
then
lovers
of
God
,
having
a
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
denying
the
Power
;
and
such
,
of
whom
people
were
ever
learning
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
;
for
people
were
laden
with
sins
,
and
led
away
with
divers
lusts
;
and
these
did
resist
the
Truth
,
as
Iannes
and
Iambres
,
who
withstood
Moses
,
by
making
likenesses
without
Life
,
and
they
were
men
of
corrupt
minds
,
and
reprobate
concerning
the
Faith
.
Now
it
is
plain
,
that
these
Teachers
in
this
Generation
are
of
that
very
Stock
which
Paul
describes
;
such
he
saw
would
come
,
and
such
we
see
are
come
,
and
by
their
fruits
we
know
them
,
as
Christ
said
;
and
Pauls
words
are
fulfilled
;
for
these
Tea●hers
are
lovers
of
themselves
,
and
covetous
,
and
proud
,
this
is
plain
to
all
people
;
and
Blasphemers
,
who
denies
Christ
to
have
lighted
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
and
therefore
they
deny
Scripture
,
and
so
are
disobedient
and
unholy
men
,
and
without
natural
affection
,
who
,
many
of
them
,
have
caused
the
Innocent
to
be
imprisoned
,
and
some
have
died
in
Prison
,
and
they
the
chief
cause
of
this
;
and
this
is
without
natural
affection
to
the
Creatures
;
and
they
are
false
Accusers
,
and
Lyars
,
and
fierce
in
their
Books
and
Preaching
,
as
is
manifest
through
all
this
Nation
;
and
they
greatly
dispise
those
that
are
good
and
prepares
war
against
such
as
do
not
put
into
their
Mouthes
;
and
they
a●●
heady
and
high-minded
,
and
lovers
of
vanities
and
pleasures
;
this
is
evident
without
proof
;
and
they
have
a
Form
of
Godliness
:
they
say
all
should
be
taught
〈◊〉
God
,
but
when
any
comes
to
witness
it
,
and
deny
their
teaching
,
they
cry
agai●…
such
as
Hereticks
,
and
thus
they
have
the
words
,
and
the
Form
,
but
deny
th●…
Power
;
and
they
are
ever
teaching
,
twenty
,
and
forty
years
,
and
more
,
but
no●…
able
ever
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
them
,
but
all
in
blindness
a●●
darkness
still
;
and
people
cries
out
,
who
have
been
learning
many
years
fro●
them
,
that
they
do
not
know
the
Truth
;
and
its
plain
,
that
these
Teachers
are
of
that
sort
,
that
Paul
spoke
of
,
who
brings
none
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
people
that
follows
them
are
laden
with
sins
,
and
led
away
with
divers
lusts
;
〈◊〉
these
have
,
and
do
resist
Truth
every
whore
;
they
deny
that
Christ
hath
lights
every
man
that
comes
into
the
world
,
and
so
resists
Truth
,
and
denies
Scripture
and
the
truth
,
as
you
may
read
,
Iohn
1.
9.
And
they
are
corrupt
minded
,
ever
wicked
Persecutors
,
and
Suers
at
Law
,
and
earthly
minded
,
and
covetous
,
and
oppressors
,
and
are
wholly
rebrobate
concerning
the
faith
:
and
thus
it
is
plain
that
the
root
of
these
Teachers
was
springing
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
hath
grown
ever
since
in
this
dark
night
of
Apostacy
,
and
hath
filled
the
Nations
.
Again
the
Apostle
saw
that
many
should
depart
from
the
Faith
,
giving
heed
to
seducing
spirits
,
and
doctrines
of
Devils
,
speaking
Lyes
in
hypocrisie
,
havi●●
their
Consciences
seared
as
with
a
hot
Iron
Now
these
Teachers
are
of
the
Stock
which
is
departed
from
the
true
Faith
;
for
they
are
without
true
Faith
,
and
reprobate
concerning
it
,
who
are
in
iniquity
,
and
sin
,
and
the
works
of
the
World
,
which
are
evil
;
now
Faith
purifies
the
heart
from
all
this
;
but
their
hearts
〈◊〉
not
purified
,
but
polluted
with
Covetousness
,
and
preaching
for
Hire
,
and
Persecution
,
and
Envy
;
and
therefore
they
had
not
Faith
and
so
are
of
that
Generation
which
departed
from
the
Faith
,
after
the
Apostles
time
,
which
they
〈◊〉
would
come
;
and
these
do
seduce
,
and
their
Doctrines
are
of
the
Devil
,
who
denies
the
Truth
which
the
Scripture
bears
witness
of
,
and
say
,
Sprinkling
Infants
〈◊〉
water
,
when
they
are
two
or
three
dayes
old
,
is
Baptism
into
the
Faith
of
Christ
;
this
is
the
Doctrine
of
the
Devil
,
and
Lyes
they
speak
in
great
numbers
,
and
in
hypocrisie
,
and
write
them
forth
to
the
World
in
great
hypocrisie
,
with
feignedness
,
and
pretence
of
holiness
;
and
its
plain
,
many
of
their
Consciences
are
seared
:
How
do
many
of
them
cause
the
poor
people
to
suffer
grievous
imprisonment
,
and
spoiling
of
their
Goods
,
to
the
ruin
of
Families
almost
,
for
their
maintenance
,
as
Tythes
,
and
such
like
;
which
if
their
Consciences
were
not
seared
they
could
not
do
;
also
some
of
them
cried
to
the
rude
wicked
People
,
in
their
Idol-temples
,
Fight
Lads
for
the
Gospel
;
and
many
who
have
born
witness
to
the
Truth
,
and
against
their
deceits
,
have
been
beat
,
and
abused
,
and
knocked
down
,
as
for
dead
,
in
their
presence
;
and
their
consciences
are
absolute
seared
,
else
they
would
tremble
at
these
things
.
Also
the
Apostle
Peter
,
he
saw
false
Prophets
would
come
in
,
2
Pet.
2.
And
false
Teachers
,
who
would
bring
in
damnable
Heresies
,
even
denying
the
Lord
that
bought
them
;
and
many
should
follow
their
pernicious
wayes
,
and
through
covetousness
,
with
feigned
words
,
they
would
make
Merchandize
of
people
;
and
they
would
walk
after
the
Flesh
,
in
the
lust
of
Uncleanness
,
and
despise
Government
,
and
be
presumptuous
and
self-willed
,
and
not
afraid
to
speak
evil
of
Dignities
,
and
they
would
speak
evil
of
things
they
understand
not
,
and
their
hearts
are
exercised
with
coveteous
practises
,
and
were
cursed
Children
,
and
they
sport
themselves
with
their
own
deceivings
;
and
these
had
forsaken
the
right
Way
,
and
are
gone
astray
,
following
the
way
of
Balaa●
,
who
loved
the
Wages
of
Unrighteousness
;
and
these
are
Clouds
that
are
carried
with
a
Tempest
,
and
they
speak
great
swelling
words
of
vanity
,
and
while
they
promise
to
others
liberty
,
themselves
are
the
Servants
of
corruption
:
and
such
were
Scoffers
,
and
Mockers
,
which
would
come
after
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
they
would
walk
after
their
own
lusts
.
And
now
according
to
this
Prophesie
of
Peter
,
who
saw
false
Teachers
coming
in
,
he
gave
these
Characters
of
them
,
whereby
it
doth
plainly
appear
that
this
Generation
of
Teachers
are
they
,
and
of
that
Stock
which
then
came
in
;
for
these
bring
forth
the
very
same
fruits
which
they
did
,
which
he
spoke
of
,
and
we
know
them
by
their
fruits
,
as
Christ
hath
said
;
for
these
have
filled
the
World
with
damnable
Heresies
,
as
holding
forth
,
That
sprinkling
Infants
with
Water
,
is
Baptism
into
the
Faith
of
Christ
;
and
that
a
Steeple-House
is
the
Church
;
and
that
singing
Davids
Experiences
in
the
World
,
among
wicked
People
,
in
Rime
and
Meeter
,
is
singing
to
the
Praise
of
God
;
and
these
are
damnable
Heresies
,
even
to
the
denying
the
Lord
that
bought
them
;
for
they
deny
the
Light
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
given
to
every
man
,
to
be
the
only
Teacher
,
and
the
only
Guide
of
man
;
and
they
that
do
deny
the
Light
of
Christ
,
with
which
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
is
lighted
,
to
be
sufficient
to
lead
to
Christ
,
and
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
(
as
these
Teachers
in
this
Age
do
)
they
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
;
and
many
,
even
whole
Nations
,
all
the
World
,
as
Iohn
saw
in
the
Revelations
,
have
followed
their
pernicious
wayes
,
and
run
after
their
Idolatry
and
pernicious
wayes
of
Superstitions
;
and
they
do
make
Merchandise
of
souls
through
covetousness
,
with
their
feigned
words
;
for
where
they
can
make
their
Bargain
to
have
the
most
money
,
there
they
will
preach
,
and
no
where
else
;
and
if
any
will
give
them
more
the
next
year
,
they
will
sell
that
People
,
and
go
to
another
,
for
very
covetousness
,
by
feigned
words
;
and
they
do
walk
after
the
flesh
,
in
the
lust
of
Pride
and
Covetousness
,
which
is
uncleanness
of
the
flesh
;
and
they
despise
the
Saints
Government
and
Order
;
for
they
will
not
suffer
the
Saints
to
prophesie
one
by
one
in
their
Assemblies
,
according
to
the
Saints
Government
,
but
do
despise
that
,
and
persecute
it
by
the
government
of
the
Beast
,
unto
whose
government
they
are
subject
,
and
not
to
the
Government
of
Christ
and
the
Saints
;
and
thus
they
are
presumptious
and
self-willed
,
presuming
to
afflict
,
and
cause
the
Children
of
God
to
be
cast
into
Prison
,
and
suffering
them
to
be
beat
,
and
abused
by
their
Flock
,
out
of
their
wicked
self-wills
;
and
they
are
not
afraid
to
speak
evil
of
Dignities
,
and
do
speak
evil
of
the
Wayes
of
God
,
and
of
his
Truth
,
which
they
understand
not
;
and
their
hearts
are
exercised
with
covetous
practises
,
and
are
cursed
Children
;
for
they
make
poor
People
,
that
have
but
ten
Eggs
,
give
them
One
,
and
that
hardly
can
get
any
Fewel
for
the
Fire
,
pay
them
a
Fenny
for
the
smoak
;
with
many
such
other
exceeding
covetous
practises
,
as
suing
men
two
hundred
miles
to
answer
for
three
Shilling
,
claimed
by
them
for
Tythes
.
And
these
sport
themselves
in
their
vanity
in
their
own
deceiving
,
and
whe●
they
have
oppressed
People
for
their
Wages
,
and
make
People
pay
them
for
who●
they
do
no
work
,
and
force
Wages
from
them
that
never
hired
them
,
which
ar●
unheard
of
coveteous
practises
;
they
sport
themselves
in
their
pride
and
lustf●lness
,
and
they
are
out
of
the
right
Way
,
and
gone
astray
from
the
Wayes
of
God
,
which
are
holy
,
and
are
in
the
way
of
Balaam
,
who
went
after
unrighteous
Wages
,
who
sought
for
enchantment
against
Israel
,
as
these
do
;
and
these
lo●●
unrighteous
wages
,
by
taking
maintenance
from
People
by
force
,
unto
whom
is
nothing
owing
by
them
;
and
these
are
carried
with
a
Tempest
of
every
Wi●d
,
according
as
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
blow
;
these
are
carried
sometimes
under
such
a
Government
,
and
sometimes
against
it
,
and
so
are
Clouds
carried
abo●t
,
and
are
unsettled
on
the
foundation
;
and
they
speak
great
words
of
Christ
,
God
,
and
the
Scriptures
,
which
are
but
words
stolen
by
them
,
because
they
are
not
spoken
by
the
spirit
of
God
,
but
by
a
lying
spirit
;
and
they
promise
to
others
liberty
,
that
they
shall
receive
the
Kingdom
of
God
after
death
,
and
that
Christ
hath
taken
away
their
sins
,
with
such
like
Promises
of
liberty
,
but
themselves
are
the
Servants
of
corruption
,
living
in
Pride
,
and
Hatred
,
and
Coveteousness
,
and
these
serve
sin
;
and
are
Servants
of
corruption
;
and
they
are
Scoffers
,
and
Mockers
,
and
Walkers
after
their
own
lusts
,
as
it
is
evident
in
all
mens
sight
;
so
that
according
to
the
Judgmen●
of
Truth
,
we
judge
these
Teachers
of
this
Generation
,
〈◊〉
be
of
the
same
root
which
then
sprang
forth
;
for
these
bring
forth
the
same
frui●s
as
they
in
that
time
did
;
and
in
the
Apostacy
they
have
over-spread
the
whole
World
:
And
also
the
Apostle
Iude
gave
a
Description
of
them
,
according
as
Peter
had
done
;
he
saw
certain
men
creeping
in
,
who
turned
the
Grace
of
God
in
to
Wantonnes
;
and
they
were
filthy
Dreamers
,
and
know
nothing
but
wh●●
they
know
naturally
,
as
bruit
Beasts
,
and
in
that
they
corrupt
themselves
;
a●●
they
have
gone
in
the
way
of
Cain
,
and
run
greedily
after
the
error
of
Balaam
;
a●●
they
are
Trees
whose
fruit
withers
;
raging
Waves
of
the
Sea
,
foaming
out
their
own
shame
;
wandring
Stars
;
they
are
Murmurrers
and
Complainers
,
walking
after
their
own
lusts
,
having
mens
persons
in
admiration
,
because
of
advant●…
,
and
these
seperate
themselves
sensual
,
having
not
the
Spirit
;
and
of
this
s●…
which
Iude
describeth
are
these
Teachers
in
this
Generation
,
whose
fore-fathe●
crept
in
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
these
are
their
cursed
Children
,
which
〈◊〉
abound
in
these
Nations
at
this
day
;
and
they
are
filthy
Dreamers
,
studdying
f●r
what
they
speak
,
and
dreaming
without
the
Spirit
of
God
an
hour
in
a
Pulpit
,
and
what
they
know
it
is
naturally
,
by
natural
Learning
and
natural
Arts
,
and
i●
that
knowledge
they
are
also
corrupted
,
in
Pride
,
and
Vain-glory
,
and
Vanities
,
like
bruit
Beasts
in
their
Apparrel
,
and
Practises
,
and
not
like
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
nor
Saints
;
and
they
are
in
Cain's
way
,
in
Envy
,
and
Murder
,
and
Wrath
abounding
,
no
People
like
them
;
and
they
do
run
greedily
after
Balaams
Error
,
●or
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
,
and
unrighteous
Wages
,
which
they
run
after
greedily
;
and
they
are
Trees
which
bring
forth
cursed
fruits
,
which
will
wither
and
fade
away
;
and
they
are
like
proud
raging
Waves
of
the
Sea
,
foaming
out
their
sha●…
in
Lyes
,
and
Slanders
,
and
cursed
speaking
in
publique
and
private
;
and
they
have
no
Habitation
in
the
Firmament
of
God
,
but
are
wandring
Stars
,
and
so●●times
in
one
Opinion
,
and
sometimes
in
another
,
but
the
blackness
of
Dark●…
is
reserved
for
them
,
and
the
Judgment
of
the
great
Day
;
and
they
are
Mur●…
rers
and
Complainers
,
and
can
never
have
enough
,
but
seek
for
their
Gain
fr●…
their
Quarter
,
as
the
false
Prophets
did
in
Isaiah's
time
;
and
they
have
mens
p●…sons
in
admiration
,
because
of
advantage
to
themselves
,
bowing
and
worshippi●…
mens
persons
,
who
will
advantage
them
in
their
Wages
,
or
Hire
,
and
Maintenance
,
begging
favour
of
the
Magistrates
,
and
having
their
persons
in
admiration
,
that
they
may
have
their
advantage
in
oppressing
poor
People
in
Tyt●…
;
in
this
their
wickedness
is
hard
to
be
expressed
:
and
these
have
separated
into
self-seperation
,
some
into
one
Form
gathered
,
and
some
into
another
,
but
a●●
sensual
,
and
in
the
wisdom
which
is
from
below
,
and
without
the
Spirit
of
God
.
And
thus
it
is
proved
that
these
Teachers
of
this
Age
are
of
the
same
Generation
in
their
practises
,
which
Iude
described
to
be
creeping
〈◊〉
,
in
his
time
.
And
further
the
Apostle
,
1
Iohn
4.
he
saw
that
the
false
Prophets
and
Antichrists
,
which
Christ
prophesied
of
to
come
,
were
come
in
his
dayes
,
and
said
,
Many
false
Prophets
are
gone
out
into
the
World
,
which
is
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
whereof
you
have
heard
,
said
John
,
And
even
now
already
is
it
in
the
World
,
and
they
were
of
the
World
,
and
the
World
heard
them
;
and
so
are
this
Generation
of
Teachers
,
who
succeed
them
that
went
forth
into
the
World
then
;
these
are
of
the
World
,
in
its
wayes
,
Pride
,
and
Wickedness
,
Covetousness
,
and
Envy
,
and
all
Evil
;
and
th●y
that
are
in
the
evil
of
the
World
,
in
wickedness
,
hear
them
,
and
maintain
them
;
so
that
according
to
Iohn's
Description
,
these
Teachers
of
this
Age
are
of
that
same
flock
which
came
in
then
;
and
Iohn
further
saw
,
that
all
the
World
was
gone
after
them
,
and
worshipped
the
Beast
which
was
then
risen
,
&
run
after
the
false
Prophet
,
which
then
came
in
,
and
sat
upon
the
Beast
,
and
its
plain
that
the
World
is
all
run
after
them
,
unto
this
day
,
which
is
a
day
of
bringing
back
again
from
the
false
Prophet
,
and
from
under
the
power
of
the
Beast
;
and
the
Beast
,
and
his
Image
,
and
the
false
Prophet
,
&
his
Divinations
must
down
to
the
ground
;
and
according
as
Ioh●
farther
prophesied
,
The
holy
City
which
had
been
trodd●n
down
under
the
Gentiles
feet
,
for
such
a
time
,
should
again
be
gained
,
and
the
Saints
should
have
the
Dominion
,
and
the
old
Dragon
should
be
chained
,
and
Christ
sh●●ld
reign
,
and
his
Kingdom
should
●e
set
up
in
the
Earth
,
and
the
Tabernacle
of
God
should
be
with
men
;
and
this
is
the
day
that
the
Lord
is
restoring
again
the
Way
of
Peace
,
which
long
hath
been
lost
,
and
the
the
Power
of
God
is
again
witnessed
,
which
hath
not
been
known
for
Generations
.
So
that
of
things
spoken
this
is
the
sum
of
Truth
,
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
to
all
People
on
the
Earth
;
that
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
and
the
Apostles
,
it
was
a
glorious
Day
of
Light
,
and
Life
,
and
Power
;
and
the
Lord
gathered
a
People
which
honoured
his
Name
,
while
they
stood
with
him
,
and
in
his
Counsel
walked
;
but
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
hath
been
an
Apostacy
,
and
Darkness
over
all
,
and
a
Subversion
upon
all
,
and
Night
hath
been
over
all
,
wherein
no
man
could
work
,
as
Christ
said
;
and
Forms
without
Power
ha●e
been
estabished
,
the
pure
Way
of
God
hath
not
been
known
in
its
purity
;
so
that
this
time
wherein
all
are
fallen
,
is
a
time
of
ignorance
,
of
the
reign
of
the
Beast
,
which
all
the
World
hath
wandred
after
,
and
a
time
wherein
the
Gentiles
feet
have
trodden
down
the
holy
City
;
and
a
time
wherein
all
the
World
runs
after
the
false
Prophet
,
and
are
deceived
,
and
made
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
the
Whores
Fornications
.
I
say
this
is
the
time
wherein
all
the
men
of
this
Generation
are
fallen
,
and
the
Scripture
is
fulfilled
;
the
Night
wherein
no
man
can
work
is
upon
the
World
;
and
further
this
is
the
time
of
Antichrists
dominion
,
who
hath
exalted
himself
in
the
Seat
of
God
,
shewing
himself
to
be
God
;
and
long
hath
he
reigned
with
the
Beast
,
and
the
false
Prophet
,
even
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
;
and
these
same
Teachers
of
this
Generation
,
which
now
are
in
the
World
are
manifest
by
their
fruit
,
to
be
of
that
generation
,
of
that
seed
,
and
stock
of
false
Prophets
,
which
Christ
prophesied
of
,
should
come
in
the
last
time
after
his
dayes
;
and
which
most
of
the
Apostles
saw
coming
in
,
in
their
dayes
;
by
their
fruits
I
say
they
are
known
;
for
these
bring
forth
the
same
fruits
,
and
bear
the
same
Marks
which
those
described
did
,
in
their
time
;
so
we
see
Christ's
Prophesie
is
fulfilled
,
who
said
they
should
come
,
for
they
are
come
;
and
the
Apostles
descriptions
are
fulfilled
on
these
,
for
these
Teachers
are
such
as
bear
the
same
Characters
as
is
proved
,
as
they
said
they
should
bear
that
would
come
;
and
long
have
the
Nations
been
deceived
,
and
kept
under
the
worship
of
the
Beast
,
running
after
the
false
Prophet
.
And
we
see
Iohns
Prophesie
is
fulfilled
,
who
said
,
that
The
holy
City
was
given
to
be
trodd●n
und●r
the
feet
of
the
Gentiles
;
for
so
we
see
it
hath
been
for
many
Generations
;
and
also
we
know
,
the
time
is
now
approaching
,
that
the
dominion
of
the
Beast
is
near
an
end
,
and
the
holy
City
shall
the
Saints
possess
,
and
the
Gentiles
shall
be
driven
out
of
it
,
according
as
Iohn
said
,
who
wrote
the
last
of
any
of
the
Apostles
,
and
gave
ful●
testimony
of
these
things
,
which
I
have
declared
●f
(
viz.
)
of
an
Apostacy
,
and
reign
of
the
Beast
,
and
false
Prophet
,
and
a
Subversion
from
the
Wayes
of
God
,
and
this
hath
been
,
and
is
come
to
pass
:
Also
●e
prophesied
of
the
gaining
of
the
holy
City
in
again
to
the
Saints
,
and
of
a
restoration
,
wherein
new
Ierusalem
should
be
made
manifest
from
Heaven
,
and
sho●●d
again
be
adorned
,
as
a
Bride
for
her
Husband
,
and
the
Saints
should
inhabit
it
,
and
the
Tabernacle
of
God
should
be
with
men
upon
Earth
,
and
the
Lord
would
dwell
for
●●er
with
his
People
,
and
this
day
is
approaching
nigh
at
the
doo●
,
for
the
Fig-tree
hath
blossomed
,
and
we
know
it
is
near
at
hand
,
the
Summer
wherein
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
shall
be
revealed
unto
all
Nations
,
and
they
shall
〈◊〉
that
he
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
that
will
take
Vengeance
upon
the
great
Wh●●e
,
who
hath
made
all
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
her
Fornication
.
And
now
after
the
long
night
of
Apostacy
and
Darkness
,
which
hath
been
vp●●
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
is
the
Lord
appearing
,
and
his
Day
dawning
,
and
his
Lig●●
breaking
forth
as
the
Glory
of
the
Morning
;
and
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
revealed
,
and
his
Dominion
is
setting
up
,
after
the
long
reign
of
the
Beast
,
who
ha●…
had
his
Power
,
and
his
Seat
,
and
his
great
Authority
from
the
Dragon
,
after
wh●…
the
whole
World
hath
wandred
,
and
him
hath
worshiped
,
who
hath
been
saying
w●…
is
like
unto
the
Beast
,
who
is
able
to
make
war
with
him
?
His
mouth
for
many
Generations
hath
been
opened
in
blasphemy
against
God
,
and
his
Name
;
and
he
〈◊〉
made
war
with
the
Saints
,
and
his
power
hath
overcome
them
,
[
Mark
]
overco●
them
,
and
then
himself
hath
reigned
,
and
the
reign
of
Christ
for
many
years
〈◊〉
not
been
known
,
but
over
Kindreds
,
Tongues
,
and
Nations
hath
the
Beast
had
po●er
,
and
over
them
hath
reigned
for
many
Ages
;
and
all
that
dwell
upon
the
F●…
have
worshipped
him
,
whose
Names
are
not
written
in
the
Book
of
Life
;
〈◊〉
Earth
hath
been
caused
,
and
them
that
dwell
therein
to
worship
the
Beast
,
and
〈◊〉
his
Wonders
he
deceiveth
them
that
dwell
on
Earth
,
and
as
many
as
would
〈◊〉
worship
the
Beast
and
his
Image
,
the
Beast
hath
had
power
that
they
should
be●…led
,
and
many
hath
he
killed
,
who
would
not
worship
him
,
and
are
persented
;
and
both
Small
and
Great
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
Free
and
Bond
,
have
rec●…ed
the
Mark
of
the
Beast
,
and
the
number
of
his
Name
,
which
is
the
number
〈◊〉
a
man
;
he
that
reads
let
him
understand
;
these
things
have
come
to
pass
,
〈◊〉
been
fulfilled
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
in
this
night
wherein
no
man
could
wor●
which
Christ
said
would
come
;
but
now
the
forty
and
two
Monthes
,
which
ti●…
the
Beast
and
his
Image
was
to
continue
,
and
so
long
was
his
Power
to
remain
〈◊〉
make
war
,
and
to
overcome
the
Saints
.
I
say
the
time
is
well
nigh
expired
and
finished
,
and
the
Lord
God
Almighty
and
the
Lamb
is
risen
to
make
war
against
the
Beast
and
his
Image
,
who
hath
reigned
over
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
and
the
Judgment
of
the
great
W●…
cometh
,
who
hath
sitten
upon
the
Beast
,
and
drunk
the
Blood
of
the
Saints
,
〈◊〉
with
whom
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
(
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
)
have
com●…ted
Fornication
;
and
all
the
Inhabiters
of
the
Earth
have
been
made
drunk
〈◊〉
the
Wine
of
her
Fornication
;
and
all
the
Merchants
of
the
Earth
have
been
ma●e
rich
through
the
aboundance
of
her
delicacies
;
and
she
hath
sat
upon
the
scar●…
coloured
Beast
,
and
her
Cup
in
her
hand
hath
been
full
of
abominations
,
and
〈◊〉ness
,
of
her
fornication
,
and
her
name
is
Mistery
Babylon
,
the
Mother
of
Harl●…
and
all
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
have
given
their
power
unto
the
Beast
,
and
commited
Fornication
with
the
great
Whore
;
and
she
hath
sat
upon
people
&
multitudes
,
〈◊〉
nations
,
and
tongues
,
(
since
the
Apostles
days
)
and
even
some
,
who
have
hated
t●e
Whore
,
and
fulfilled
the
Will
of
God
,
and
made
the
Whore
naked
,
yet
they
gi●…
their
power
also
to
the
Beast
,
until
the
Word
of
God
be
fulfilled
.
Consider
these
things
you
that
have
an
ear
to
hear
;
but
now
the
mighty
Day
〈◊〉
the
Lord
,
and
the
Judgment
of
the
Whore
is
approaching
,
wherein
she
shal
be
rewarded
according
to
her
Works
,
and
doubble
shall
be
given
into
〈◊〉
Cup
,
and
as
she
hath
loved
blood
,
so
shall
blood
be
given
her
to
drink
,
and
the
Merchants
of
the
Earth
shall
lament
her
,
whom
they
have
waxed
rich
by
,
who
〈◊〉
glorified
her self
,
and
lived
deliciouslly
,
and
hath
said
in
her
heart
;
I
sit
as
a
Queen
,
and
am
no
Widow
,
and
shall
not
see
sorrow
;
but
now
the
one
day
is
dawning
wherein
her
Plagues
shall
come
,
death
,
and
mourning
and
famine
,
and
she
shall
be
utterly
burned
with
fire
,
for
strong
is
the
Lord
that
is
risen
to
judge
her
;
and
the
Kings
and
Merchants
;
and
all
the
Inhabiters
of
the
Earth
,
shall
lament
her
,
and
cry
,
Alas
,
alas
!
and
now
are
they
beginning
,
for
the
hour
is
come
that
her
judgement
cometh
,
and
all
her
Merchants
,
who
have
trafficked
with
the
Souls
of
men
shall
partake
of
her
Plagues
,
who
have
partaked
of
her
sins
,
and
lived
deliciously
with
her
,
and
the
fruits
that
her
Soul
lusteth
after
shall
depart
from
her
,
and
all
things
that
are
dainty
,
and
goodly
,
shall
depart
from
her
,
and
she
shall
find
them
no
more
at
all
when
her
judgement
cometh
,
and
in
an
hour
all
her
riches
are
come
to
nought
,
and
all
her
Merchants
at
Land
and
Sea
shall
lament
her
;
even
her
that
hath
ruled
over
Nations
,
and
sat
as
a
Queen
for
many
Generations
,
ever
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
until
this
day
;
yea
,
all
that
have
wandred
after
her
,
even
the
whole
World
shall
lament
and
bemoan
her
;
and
such
as
have
served
her
,
and
made
Slaves
of
the
Souls
of
men
by
Merchandize
and
Traffick
,
shall
bewail
her
,
and
their
gain
shall
cease
for
ever
;
for
in
one
hour
shall
she
be
made
desolate
,
and
her
glory
shall
fade
,
and
her
beauty
shall
wither
,
and
the
Beast
that
hath
carried
her
shall
utterly
faint
,
and
the
false
Prophet
that
hath
wrought
Miracles
in
their
sight
,
and
deceived
the
Nations
,
shall
be
cast
into
a
bed
of
torment
with
her
,
and
the
Beast
,
and
the
false
Prophet
shall
be
taken
,
and
cast
alive
into
the
Lake
of
Fire
,
to
be
tormented
for
ever
,
day
and
night
,
World
without
end
;
and
the
Whore
,
in
whom
hath
been
found
the
Blood
of
the
Prophets
,
and
of
the
Saints
,
and
of
all
that
were
slain
upon
the
Earth
,
and
the
Beast
who
hath
caused
all
that
dwell
on
the
Earth
to
worship
him
and
his
Image
,
for
many
Ages
,
and
the
false
Prophet
,
who
hath
deceived
the
whole
world
,
and
many
Nations
,
and
made
them
subject
unto
the
power
of
the
Beast
,
by
his
Miracles
which
he
hath
wrought
in
the
sight
of
men
;
these
shall
be
plagued
together
,
and
tormented
together
;
for
the
false
Prophet
and
the
Beast
hath
sent
forth
their
unclean
Spirits
,
like
Frogs
,
unto
all
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
and
unto
the
whole
World
,
to
gather
them
to
Battel
,
with
their
Armies
,
to
make
war
against
him
that
sits
on
the
white
Horse
,
even
the
Son
of
God
;
and
this
is
the
false
Prophet
which
C●rist
prophesied
of
to
come
,
which
long
since
came
,
and
hath
served
the
Beast
and
the
great
Whore
for
many
Generations
,
and
many
,
even
all
Nations
have
been
deceived
,
as
Christ
said
,
and
led
aside
,
and
blinded
,
and
bewitched
by
him
.
And
,
as
I
have
said
,
these
Teachers
of
this
Generation
are
of
them
,
of
their
Root
and
Off-spring
,
which
long
have
flourished
on
the
face
of
the
Earth
.
But
the
day
is
at
hand
,
that
the
Heaven
,
and
the
Holy
Apostles
,
and
Prophets
shall
rejoyce
over
the
Whore
,
and
over
the
false
Prophet
;
for
the
Lord
comes
to
avenge
us
on
her
;
and
as
she
hath
done
,
so
shall
it
be
done
unto
her
,
now
in
this
day
wherein
Ierusalem
shall
be
builded
again
,
and
the
holy
City
which
the
Ge●tiles
have
trod
under
foot
for
forty
and
two
moneths
,
which
time
is
expired
,
and
near
an
end
,
accounting
from
the
dayes
of
the
coming
in
of
the
Apostacy
,
untill
this
day
,
if
any
have
an
ear
to
hear
let
him
hear
;
this
I
have
received
from
God
I
say
the
holy
City
shall
be
measured
,
and
the
Gentiles
cast
out
;
and
she
shall
be
adorned
,
and
as
a
Bride
for
her
Husband
shall
she
be
prepared
;
and
Gods
Tabernacle
shall
be
with
men
,
and
he
will
dwell
with
them
,
and
they
shall
be
his
People
;
and
God
himself
will
be
their
God
,
and
all
tears
shall
be
wiped
away
and
there
shall
be
no
more
death
nor
sorrow
;
for
the
former
things
are
passed
away
,
and
all
things
shall
be
made
new
.
And
what
I
have
said
are
the
faithful
Sayings
of
God
;
every
one
that
is
athirst
shall
drink
of
the
Water
of
Life
freely
;
and
he
that
overcometh
shall
inherit
all
things
,
and
shall
be
called
the
Son
of
God
,
and
shall
dwell
in
the
holy
City
,
which
long
the
Gentiles
foot
hath
troden
under
,
which
shall
again
be
adorned
,
and
prepared
as
a
Bride
for
her
Husband
;
if
any
have
an
ear
to
hear
let
them
●ear
.
And
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
is
risen
,
and
his
Day
is
breaking
forth
more

have

the
Lord
shall
be

now

are
called

declare
abroad
the
things

we
〈◊〉
heard

the
Gospel

the
Rev●…tion
of

eternal
Spirit

Son
in
our
hearts
;
and
the
power
is
made
manifest
,
and
the
form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
is
denied
and
judged
;
and
Christ
the
one
Head
is
exalting
,
and
the
one
Horn
of
Gods
Salvation
is
revealing

the
many
Heads

must
be
broken

shall
partake

though
the

gathers
Gog

together

to
fight

to
compass
the
beloved
City

yet
he

be

Wind

Great
Babylon
is
come
into
remembrance
before
the
Lord
,
to
reward
her
according
to
her
deeds
;
and
the
Lord
will
cause
his
Truth

his
Salvation
to
be
known
in
the
Earth
,
and
his
Name

Power
is
declared
in
the
hearts

to
the
overturning
of
all
unrighteousness
,

though
every
horn
of
the
Beast
push
against
this
,
and
every
Head
,
with
his
Members
,
set
it self
against
it
,
yet
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
shall
not
be
disannulled
,
nor
made
void
;
for
the
Scepter
and
Dominion
of
his
Son
shall
be
exalted
over
all
the
Earth
,
and
the
Princes
of
the
World

the
Kings

shall
lay
down
their
Crowns

become
subject

for

Kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
be
changed
;
and
shall
become
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
his
Christ
;
the
Kingdom
of
the
Beast
must
down
,
and
the
princely
power
of
Darkness
must
be
overthrown
,
and
Laws
,
and
Times
,
and
Things
,
and
Powers
of
men
shall
be
overturned
,
and
overturned
,
till
he
come
to
reign
in
the
Earth
,
whose
right
it
is
to
reign
over
Nations
and
People
:
And
because
of
this
the
rage
of
the
Heathen
hath
been
great
,
and
the
counsels
of
the
Wicked
many
,
and
strong
,
from
the
prophane
Drunkards
to
the
chiefest
professed
Teachers
of
this
Age
;
even
all
the
whole
Body
of
the
Beast
hath
joyned
it self
against
the
purpose
of
the
Lord
;
men
of
all
conditions
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
have
armed
themselves
with
Mischief
to
offend
the
Way
of
Truth
.
This
is
written
,
as
moved
of
the
Lord
,
to
go
abroad
through
the
Nations
,
that
all
may
understand
concerning
the
times
,
and
the
changing
of
times
,
how
that
the
Beast
hath
reigned
in
Dominion
,
over
Nations
,
Tongues
,
and
People
;
and
all
have
worshipped
the
Beast
,
and
gone
after
the
false
Prophet
:
here
all
may
come
to
a
good
understanding
what
hath
been
,
and
what
is
,
and
what
shall
be
;
how
that
when
the
Power
and
Government
of
Christ
was
lost
,
through
departing
from
the
Faith
which
ruled
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
then
the
whole
World
was
as
unstable
in
Wayes
and
Judgments
as
a
Sea
;
then
out
of
the
Sea
one
Beast
arose
,
and
another
after
him
arose
out
of
the
Earth
;
and
all
have
been
caused
,
both
small
and
great
,
bond
and
free
,
to
worship
the
Beast
,
and
the
Image
of
the
Beast
;
yea
,
all
the
Dominions
of
the
World
have
for
many
Ages
been
subject
to
the
power
of
the
Beast
in
all
things
,
and
not
known
the
Worship
and
Power
of
God
,
and
the
pure
subjection
to
him
;
but
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
and
all
her
Princes
have
given
their
power
to
the
Beast
,
and
have
received
their
authority
from
him
,
and
acted
thereby
many
of
them
in
great
unrighteousness
,
in
injustice
,
and
oppression
,
and
cruelty
;
in
pride
,
and
rebellion
,
and
vain
glory
;
in
quarrelling
one
with
another
,
to
the
murthering
thousands
of
thousands
;
and
this
hath
all
been
brought
forth
under
the
power
of
the
Beast
,
and
by
it
;
and
his
Heads
and
Horns
have
exalted
themselves
one
against
another
,
and
smitten
one
onother
,
and
the
great
Whore
hath
made
them
all
drunk
,
and
all
People
upon
the
Earth
,
with
envy
,
pride
,
wontonness
,
and
all
unrighteousness
;
this
hath
been
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
in
this
Night
of
Apostacy
,
wherein
the
whole
World
hath
been
subverted
by
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
hath
not
been
known
upon
Earth
for
many
Generations
,
but
the
Beast
hath
been
established
in
his
Throne
of
Rebellion
against
Christ
Jesus
;
his
Decrees
have
been
Laws
,
and
Statutes
,
and
he
hath
made
wa●
against
all
the
Saints
,
and
overcame
them
,
and
reigned
over
them
until
this
time
,
and
trodden
down
their
City
,
and
defaced
their
Glory
;
but
the
blood
of
the
Just
hath
cried
day
and
night
,
under
the
Altar
,
the
Souls
of
such
as
have
been
slain
for
the
Testimony
of
the
Word
of
God
,
have
cried
day
and
night
,
How
long
Lord
,
how
long
,
when
wilt
thou
avenge
our
Blood
upon
the
heads
of
our
Enemies
,
even
the
Beast
,
the
Where
,
and
the
false
Prophet
?
and
this
hath
been
for
many
Ages
,
even
while
the
Kingdom
of
Antichrist
hath
been
set
up
and
advanced
through
the
World
,
and
his
Power
and
Authority
hath
reached
over
Nations
,
bond
and
free
,
from
the
Prince
on
his
Throne
,
to
the
Begger
on
the
Dunghil
,
even
all
have
been
subjected
under
the
power
of
the
Beast
;
that
nature
having
ruled
within
every
particular
,
hath
given
him
the
Authority
without
over
all
,
and
admired
him
,
and
said
,
who
is
able
to
make
war
with
him
.
Antichrist
hath
ruled
over
all
,
by
injustice
,
oppression
,
and
Tyranny
in
unrighteous
Laws
,
and
through
wicked
decrees
,
old
Pharaoh-like
,
he
hath
laid
heavy
yoaks
,
and
oppressive
bonds
upon
the
Just
;
for
who
would
not
be
subject
to
him
,
he
hath
had
power
to
kill
them
,
and
none
was
able
to
gainsay
;
such
hath
been
the
greatness
of
his
power
,
and
the
strength
of
his
dominion
over
all
,
that
none
have
been
able
to
make
war
against
him
,
he
hath
been
admired
in
all
the
World
,
not
any
Nation
excepted
where
the
government
of
Antichrist
hath
not
born
rule
,
and
there
have
been
none
left
to
bear
witness
against
him
,
or
to
stand
up
against
him
;
for
the
faithfull

have
been
slain
in
the
Streets
of
the
great
City
,
which
spiritually

called

S●…

Egypt

and
all
them
that
have
dwelt

have
made
merry
〈◊〉
their
dead

rejoyced
in
their
Iniquities

because
they
have
slain
them

who

tormented

the

Dragon
hath
stood
ready
continually
to
devour
the
Child
of
Righteousness
as
soon
as
it
was
born
,
and
the
Woman
hath
been
forced
to
flee
into
the
Wilderness
,
that
hath
brought
i●
forth
,
and
hath
fed
there
for
so
many
dayes
,
and
for
a
long
season
hath
the
L●●d
been
blasphemed
,
even
the
Name
of
God
,
and
his
Tabernacle
,
and
them
th●●
dwell
in
Heaven
.
But
now
hath
the
Lord
considered
,
and
looked
down
from
his
Habitati●n
,
and
of
a
truth
he
is
risen
,
and
hath
taken
to
him
his
great
Power
,
that
he
may
reign
,
and
put
all
things
under
his
Feet
,
and
subdue
the
power
of
the
Beast
,
and
Antichrist
;
and
all
their
Government
,
and
Rule
,
and
Laws
,
and
Decrees
shall
be
overthrown
,
and
confounded
,
&
all
their
worship
shall
be
broken
;
for
great
Babylon
is
come
into
remembrance
before
the
Lord
,
to
render
her
according
to
her
works
;
the
Lamb
is
now
risen
,
and
advanced
with
his
Bow
,
and
his
Sword
,
and
he
is
going
forth
Conquering
,
and
to
Conquer
the
Beast
,
and
all
that
have
worshipped
him
:
and
they
that
are
with
the
Lamb
are
called
,
and
chosen
,
and
faithful
,
&
they
love
not
their
lives
unto
death
and
they
shall
overcome
him
by
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
by
the
Word
of
his
Testimony
;
the
Dominion
of
the
Lamb
is
setting
up
,
and
his
Power
is
made
manifest
;
and
the
Stone
cut
out
of
the
Mountain
without
hand
is
a
dashing
at
the
feet
of
the
Image
,
and
against
the
Beast
,
and
his
Power
,
and
against
all
his
Laws
and
Decrees
is
he
risen
;
and
he
will
change
Times
,
and
Laws
,
and
Powers
,
and
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
become
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
his
Christ
,
and
he
shall
reign
for
ever
and
ever
;
for
now
the
Spirit
of
Life
from
God
is
entred
into
the
Witnesses
which
have
been
slain
,
and
they
begin
to
stand
upon
their
feet
,
and
great
fear
falls
upon
the
great
men
of
the
World
,
and
the
Devil
is
cast
out
into
the
Earth
;
who
hath
sitten
in
Heaven
,
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
deceived
the
whole
World
,
and
his
wrath
is
great
against
the
Saints
,
and
against
the
Lamb
,
because
he
knoweth
his
time
is
but
short
;
and
the
Man-child
shall
grow
;
and
shall
rule
the
Nations
with
a
Rod
of
Iron
,
if
any
man
hath
an
ear
to
hear
let
him
hear
;
he
that
leadeth
into
Captivity
shall
go
into
Captivity
;
he
that
killeth
with
the
Sword
must
be
killed
with
the
Sword
;
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
shall
stand
who
is
now
gathering
,
and
bringing
back
such
as
have
been
driven
away
and
deceived
by
the
Generation
of
false
Prophets
,
who
have
deceived
the
whole
World
,
and
all
that
dwell
therein
,
and
the
Lord
will
take
vengeance
upon
them
,
upon
the
Beast
,
and
upon
the
false
Prophet
;
and
great
Babylon
shall
be
thrown
down
,
and
shall
be
no
more
at
all
,
but
shall
be
made
desolate
;
and
the
voice
of
Harpers
,
and
Musitians
shall
no
more
be
heard
at
all
in
her
;
but
her
Glory
shall
wither
,
and
fade
away
in
a
moment
;
for
he
that
hath
a
true
Weight
and
Measure
is
appeared
to
divide
,
and
to
give
due
weight
,
and
measure
unto
every
one
;
and
all
the
wicked
,
who
will
not
come
from
under
the
worship
of
the
Beast
,
shall
have
their
part
in
the
Lake
that
burnes
with
Fire
,
and
he
that
is
unjust
let
him
be
unjust
still
,
and
he
that
is
righteous
let
him
be
righteous
still
;
here
is
the
dividing
of
all
things
as
they
were
in
the
beginning
;
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
is
risen
,
whose
name
is
called
the
Word
of
God
,
and
out
of
his
mouth
goeth
a
sharp
Sword
,
and
with
it
be
smiteth
the
Nations
,
and
he
shall
rule
them
with
an
Iron
Rod
;
for
his
Name
is
King
of
Kings
,
and
Lord
of
Lords
;
and
he
is
gathering
his
Saints
together
to
the
Supper
of
the
Great
God
,
to
eat
the
flesh
of
Kings
,
the
flesh
of
Captains
,
and
the
flesh
of
Horses
,
and
them
that
sat
thereon
;
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
shall
not
be
disannulled
,
though
the
Beast
,
and
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
gather
together
their
Armies
,
to
make
war
against
him
that
sits
upon
the
Horse
,
who
is
already
gone
out
to
conquer
,
and
the
numberless
number
of
the
Saints
are
gathering
together
before
the
Throne
of
the
Lamb
,
and
they
have
no
guile
found
in
their
mouthes
.
And
the
day
is
now
dawned
,
and
the
night
is
far
spent
;
Wo
unto
the
World
,
and
to
all
the
Inhabiters
of
the
Earth
,
who
have
worshipped
the
Beast
,
the
Lord
is
coming
to
plead
with
you
,
and
ye
that
have
partaken
of
the
sins
of
the
great
Whore
shall
partake
of
her
Plagues
,
and
she
shall
be
rewarded
double
,
according
to
her
works
;
for
her
sins
have
reached
unto
Heaven
:
The
Day
of
great
tribulation
is
at
hand
,
of
Anguish
and
Destruction
,
men
shall
seek
death
and
shall
not
find
it
,
but
it
shall
flee
from
them
,
when
the
Lord
ariseth
and
the
Lamb
standeth
upon
Mount
Sion
,
and
his
Saints
with
him
,
who
shall
tread
down
the
Heathen
,
and
cast
them
out
,
even
as
they
have
trodden
down
the
holy
City
,
and
the
Worship
thereof
;
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
Beast
,
and
his
Seat
,
and
his
great
Authority
,
which
he
hath
received
from
the
Dragon
,
shall
all
be
thrown
down
;
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
Son
of
God
with
his
Government
,
Scepter
,
and
Rule
shall
be
established
in
all
the
Earth
,
and
the
utmosts
part
thereof
shall
be
given
him
to
possess
;
this
is
the
Promise
,
and
this
shall
come
to
pass
;
and
through
the
whole
World
Laws
,
and
Decrees
,
Ministry
,
and
Orders
shall
be
changed
and
renewed
;
the
Law
and
Decree
of
the
Most
High
shall
rule
over
all
,
and
the
holy
City
shall
be
beautified
,
and
is
adorning
and
preparing
for
the
Saints
,
and
their
King
to
inherit
;
the
Lamb
is
the
Light
of
the
City
,
and
the
Temple
therein
,
and
all
Nations
and
People
that
are
saved
shall
walk
in
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
;
for
he
hath
lighted
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
with
the
Light
of
Salvation
,
in
all
that
do
receive
him
;
and
Darkness
shall
flee
away
,
the
S●●
is
risen
,
and
Praise
,
and
Honour
,
and
Glory
,
and
Dominion
,
shall
be
given
to
the
Lamb
,
who
shall
reign
over
Nations
,
and
his
Saints
shall
see
him
,
and
his
Name
shall
be
in
their
Fore-heads
,
and
there
shall
be
no
Night
,
but
Light
and
Glory
,
and
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
shall
bring
in
their
glory
and
honour
i●…
it
;
and
the
Gates
stand
open
,
and
are
not
shut
;
every
one
that
thirsteth
,
let
him
come
,
the
cry
is
unto
all
;
and
yet
nothing
that
defileth
shall
enter
:
these
are
the
faithful
Sayings
of
the
Lord
,
who
is
true
,
and
must
not
long
be
sealed
;
f●r
the
time
is
at
hand
,
and
all
men
shall
read
,
and
all
that
keep
the
Commandme●…
of
God
,
shall
have
right
to
the
Tree
of
Life
;
and
blessed
are
they
,
they
shall
be
healed
,
though
now
they
suffer
all
manner
of
evil
,
for
the
Name
of
Iesus
,
by
the
Beast
,
and
under
his
Power
,
by
them
that
worship
him
,
who
must
fulfil
wickedness
by
persecuting
the
Innocent
,
till
the
Lord
be
raised
out
of
his
Habitation
;
and
the
dominion
shall
be
given
to
them
;
and
they
shall
have
power
to
bind
King●
in
Chains
,
and
Nobles
in
Fetters
of
Iron
;
this
is
their
Honour
,
and
this
i●
their
Dignity
,
and
they
shall
rejoyce
for
ever
and
ever
,
and
shall
glory
in
the
Lord
,
and
not
in
this
World
;
and
this
shall
come
to
pass
,
as
the
Lord
hath
said
.
Wherefore
all
Nations
and
People
,
Arise
,
arise
,
and
be
awakened
,
Prepare
,
prepare
,
and
make
way
for
the
Lord
;
be
removed
,
ye
Mountains
;
and
throw
down
,
ye
Hills
;
and
hewn
down
,
ye
sturdy
Oakes
;
and
cut
up
,
ye
tall
Cedars
;
Make
way
,
and
prepare
,
the
Path
for
the
Holy
One
,
who
is
comming
to
rule
w●…
his
Iron
Rod
,
and
will
dash
you
all
to
peices
:
Be
afraid
and
tremble
thou
Be●…
,
that
hast
long
reigned
over
the
Earth
;
and
all
thy
false
Prophets
and
Worshippers
be
confounded
at
this
,
and
bow
and
tremble
at
the
remembrance
hereof
;
〈◊〉
whom
you
have
hated
and
crucified
,
and
his
Saints
,
whom
you
have
persecuted
,
shall
come
to
reign
over
you
all
;
and
to
him
,
whom
you
have
set
at
nought
,
〈◊〉
you
be
subject
to
,
and
ruled
by
,
to
all
your
sorrow
;
for
behold
the
Lord
cometh
with
his
numberless
number
of
Saints
.
And
this
is
a
warning
to
all
Nations
and
People
upon
Earth
;
Times
and
Laws
must
be
changed
among
you
;
Governments
and
Orders
must
be
changed
;
Unjustice
and
Oppression
shall
be
removed
,
and
every
Yoak
and
Burden
shall
be
taken
off
from
the
neck
of
the
Poor
;
true
Judgment
,
and
Justice
,
Mercy
,
and
Truth
,
Peace
,
and
Righteousness
shall
be
exalted
;
and
all
the
Nations
shall
have
Judges
as
at
the
first
,
and
Councellors
as
at
the
beginning
;
and
the
Poor
shall
rejoyce
when
true
Judgment
and
Justice
reigneth
,
and
the
false
Prophet
subdued
.
And
this
is
a
Warning
to
you
all
,
that
you
may
hear
,
and
consider
the
Lamb
who
hath
been
slain
,
who
is
risen
to
reign
,
who
is
the
Prince
of
Peace
,
of
whose
Government
there
shall
be
no
end
;
even
he
hath
lighted
all
man-kind
on
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
the
Light
is
the
Eye
,
which
will
let
you
see
all
this
,
and
will
bring
you
to
the
fulfilling
of
it
'
a●●
to
the
good
Understanding
;
and
it
shall
evidenc●…
the
truth
of
this
,
even
the
Light
of
Christ
in
all
men
,
which
is
given
to
guide
〈◊〉
the
Way
of
Peace
.
THe
Kingdom
of
Christ
is
setting
up
,
and
it
is
not
of
this
World
,
neither
shall
be
exalted
,
nor
advanced
by
worldly
pollicy
,
and
worldly
wisdom
,
nor
by
carnal
weapons
,
nor
by
the
multitude
of
an
host
of
men
,
(
its
true
)
the
Son
of
God
is
gone
forth
;
conquering
and
and
to
conquer
;
and
the
Spirit
of
his
Mouth
,
and
the
Word
of
his
Power
,
shall
get
himself
the
Victory
;
his
own
Arm
alone
,
without
the
help
of
another
,
shall
work
the
Conquest
;
and
his
Kingdom
shall
be
set
up
within
every
particular
of
his
Subjects
;
for
none
can
know
him
reign
without
them
unto
their
Salvation
,
till
they
know
him
to
reign
first
within
;
for
that
which
opposeth
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
the
setting
of
it
up
,
is
within
every
man
,
and
must
be
subdued
within
,
where
it
hath
ruled
;
and
the
Enemy
of
Christ's
Kingdom
,
which
hath
lodged
within
,
must
first
be
subdued
,
before
there
be
dominion
over
his
Enemies
without
.
This
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
all
People
;
for
he
that
pursues
his
Enemy
without
,
and
leaves
him
in
his
own
house
,
is
foolish
;
and
out
of
the
way
,
and
shall
be
overcome
of
his
Enemy
,
and
shall
not
overcome
him
;
therefore
ye
that
are
waiting
for
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
be
awakened
,
and
seek
for
it
where
it
is
to
be
found
,
not
without
you
first
,
but
first
within
;
strive
not
to
obtain
it
with
your
carnal
Weapons
,
but
take
the
Weapons
which
are
Spiritual
,
which
only
will
overcome
;
be
not
deceived
,
for
through
suffering
must
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
be
set
up
,
and
not
by
rebellion
through
Crafts
,
and
Plots
,
and
secret
Pollicy
,
and
turbulent
Arisings
,
nor
Strife
in
the
nature
of
Enmity
,
(
by
these
means
shall
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
never
be
advanced
.
)
And
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
our
Testimony
which
we
give
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
who
is
indeed
arisen
to
make
war
against
all
his
Enemies
,
and
they
that
follow
him
are
called
and
faithful
;
and
chosen
,
whose
Weapons
are
Spiritual
and
mighty
through
God
;
and
reacheth
to
the
killing
and
subduing
of
all
flesh
(
and
he
must
war
)
till
all
his
Enemies
be
subdued
,
and
must
reign
over
all
his
Enemies
,
till
the
Kingdom
be
delivered
to
the
Father
,
where
he
shall
be
all
in
all
.

All
ye
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
in
all
Nations
through
the
World
;
Hearken
and
give
ear
,
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
that
made
Heaven
and
Earth
is
towards
you
;
He
is
coming
to
set
up
his
Kingdom
and
his
Dominion
,
which
never
shall
have
end
,
and
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
be
changed
,
and
shall
become
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Son
of
God
.
ALl
ye
Kings
,
and
Princes
,
and
Rulers
through
the
whole
World
;
the
Lord
is
coming
up
with
his
mighty
Host
against
you
all
;
he
,
who
will
fan
you
,
and
sift
you
,
and
try
you
,
and
search
you
out
;
for
his
Fan
is
in
his
Hand
,
and
he
will
throughly
purge
you
;
and
you
shall
all
know
,
that
the
Kingdom
of
the
Most
High
rules
in
the
Kingdoms
of
men
;
all
your
Glory
shall
fade
away
,
all
your
Majesty
,
and
Honour
,
and
Dignities
,
and
Dominions
shall
come
to
an
end
;
all
your
strength
is
but
as
a
Straw
,
all
your
treasure
as
a
Thing
of
nought
,
all
your
glory
as
a
fading
Leaf
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
that
made
Heaven
and
Earth
;
all
Nations
upon
Earth
are
but
as
the
drop
of
a
Bucket
before
him
,
and
the
hearts
of
all
men
are
in
his
Hand
,
and
by
him
Kings
rule
,
and
the
Princes
of
the
Earth
are
at
his
disposure
;
and
you
are
all
weighed
in
the
Ballance
of
Equity
,
and
found
too
light
before
the
Lord
;
for
all
flesh
hath
corrupted
its
way
before
him
:
Be
awakenened
ye
that
have
long
slept
in
Darkness
,
and
been
at
ease
in
the
flesh
;
ye
that
have
had
peace
in
this
World
,
and
pleasure
in
the
vanity
thereof
,
the
Lord
is
coming
to
make
war
against
you
,
his
Trumpet
hath
sounded
,
and
his
Sons
and
Daughters
are
gone
forth
to
bear
witness
of
his
Majesty
,
and
Power
,
and
Dominion
;
and
the
Lord
hath
spoken
,
Who
can
but
prophesie
?
he
hath
given
the
Word
,
and
many
are
they
that
publish
it
:
Let
your
ears
be
open
to
Instruction
,
and
kick
not
against
the
Lord
,
neither
harden
your
hearts
against
him
,
but
make
way
for
him
,
and
prepare
his
Path
;
for
he
cometh
to
judge
the
World
in
Righteousness
,
and
the
People
with
equity
,
and
the
Testimony
of
the
Light
of
Jesus
in
you
all
shall
witness
for
him
;
your
princely
Powers
must
become
subject
to
the
Power
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Most
High
,
and
your
glory
must
be
vailed
and
darkned
before
the
Glory
,
which
●he
Lord
is
causing
to
shine
forth
;
and
we
,
the
Servants
of
the
Most
High
,
do
give
you
warning
of
the
day
of
your
Visitation
,
which
is
upon
you
,
and
all
the
World
;
for
the
Lord
is
now
risen
,
who
hath
long
winked
at
the
time
of
great
ignorance
,
but
now
●e
warns
you
all
to
repent
;
therefore
bow
down
,
ye
Stiff-necked
;
and
tremble
,
ye
Stout-hearted
;
and
be
abased
,
ye
Lofty-looks
;
our
King
is
above
you
all
,
our
dominion
is
over
you
all
,
and
the
line
of
true
Judgment
are
you
all
measured
with
,
and
your
wayes
are
not
found
perfect
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
nor
your
hearts
right
before
him
;
his
Kingdom
hath
not
been
known
in
your
dominions
,
neither
hath
his
Laws
and
his
Judgments
born
rule
,
but
you
have
every
one
been
doing
that
which
is
right
in
the
sight
of
your
own
eyes
;
and
the
counsels
of
your
hearts
have
been
nought
but
vanity
before
the
Lord
;
Vain-glory
hath
abounded
among
you
,
which
the
the
Lord's
Soul
hath
been
burdened
by
;
the
honours
and
pleasures
of
the
flesh
have
been
your
delight
,
and
strife
and
enmity
hath
been
among
you
,
and
wars
,
and
quarreling
,
and
fighting
one
against
another
,
and
you
have
rejoyced
in
the
overthrow
one
of
another
,
and
in
destroying
one
another
,
and
you
have
taken
pleasure
in
gaining
one
anothers
dominions
;
you
have
striven
who
should
have
been
the
greatest
,
and
greatly
oppressed
the
Poor
;
you
have
exalted
your selves
one
against
another
,
and
drawn
up
your
Armies
one
in
defiance
of
another
,
and
the
blood
of
Thousands
have
been
shed
to
satisfie
the
humours
of
your
proud
hearts
;
all
this
hath
been
evil
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Spirit
hath
been
grieved
,
and
his
Soul
vexed
by
all
this
,
and
he
hath
forborn
till
he
hath
been
weary
;
for
he
hath
been
dishonoured
by
all
this
,
and
his
Law
hath
not
born
rule
,
and
his
Judgments
have
had
no
place
,
you
have
been
cruel-hearted
one
towards
another
,
and
merciless
,
and
without
pitty
,
and
ouy
have
not
done
to
others
,
as
you
would
be
done
unto
,
but
you
have
rendred
evil
for
evil
,
and
sought
occasions
of
evil
one
against
another
,
and
vexed
one
another
through
the
pride
of
your
hearts
;
therefore
now
is
the
Lord
risen
to
make
war
against
you
all
,
and
to
dash
you
to
pieces
;
the
Feller
comes
up
amongst
you
,
he
that
will
not
spare
to
slay
,
and
to
devour
,
who
will
not
be
afraid
of
your
lofty
looks
,
he
will
spoil
you
of
your
Treasure
,
and
lay
waste
your
strength
,
all
ye
Kingdoms
of
the
Earth
,
and
your
gathering
together
against
him
is
but
as
Briers
and
thorns
;
for
he
will
exalt
his
own
Kingdom
over
you
all
,
and
all
ye
Kings
of
the
Earth
shall
know
,
that
the
Kingdom
of
the
most
high
must
rule
in
your
Kingdoms
,
and
your
Laws
shall
be
changed
,
and
the
poor
shall
no
more
be
oppressed
;
for
he
is
come
th●t
proclaims
liberty
unto
the
Captives
,
who
will
remove
oppression
far
away
,
who
will
change
Times
,
and
Worships
,
and
Ordinances
,
and
there
shall
be
no
Law
,
but
the
Law
of
God
;
nor
no
light
,
but
of
the
Lamb
;
nor
no
worship
,
but
the
Worship
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Truth
;
for
all
your
Worships
which
the
Nations
are
full
of
,
is
nought
but
vanity
,
and
a
lye
,
immitations
,
and
superstitions
,
brought
forth
in
hypocrisie
,
and
not
in
an
upright
heart
;
vanity
of
vanities
have
abounded
both
in
civil
and
spiritual
affairs
;
The
root
in
which
you
stand
is
wholly
corrupted
,
and
no
good
fruit
springs
from
it
,
but
cursed
fruit
,
which
must
be
〈◊〉
down
,
and
cast
into
the
fire
;
ye
have
been
evil
,
and
could
not
bring
forth
any
good
;
you
are
corrupted
,
and
your
fruit
is
of
a
bitter
taste
,
a
day
of
sorrow
,
of
lamentation
,
and
misery
is
coming
upon
you
all
;
ye
that
have
been
high
and
lofty
,
and
stouthearted
,
fearfulness
shall
surprise
you
,
and
the
terror
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
shall
compass
you
about
:
I
am
moved
to
salute
you
all
with
this
,
as
a
warning
,
and
when
it
comes
to
pass
,
remember
you
have
been
told
;
ye
that
know
not
the
Kingdom
of
the
most
High
ruling
men
,
but
are
saying
in
your
hearts
,
this
hath
my
hand
done
,
in
a
moment
shall
you
be
smitten
,
and
know
there
is
one
above
you
which
must
rule
,
for
it
is
his
right
to
rule
over
all
Nations
,
and
there
shall
be
no
King
but
Jesus
th●
A●oin●e●
o●
God
,
●o●●o
Government
,
but
the
Government
of
the
Lamb
;
there
shall
be
no
more
war
,
but
war
against
the
Dragon
,
who
hath
stood
to
devour
the
Man-child
,
which
is
now
bringing
forth
,
and
he
must
rule
with
his
Iron
Rod
,
and
shall
subdue
all
under
his
feet
;
We
whom
God
hath
warned
cannot
but
warn
you
of
these
things
which
〈◊〉
come
to
pass
;
he
is
coming
to
separate
between
the
Just
and
the
unjust
;
he
will
gather
from
among
you
,
that
the
wicked
may
be
consumed
from
off

of
the

All

take

how
you
persecute
such
as
comes

brings
this

to
you

lest
you

A
General
Epistle
and
Greeting
OF
THE
Fathers
Love
t●
all
the
SAINTS
,
Called
and
chosen
to
faithfulness
in
Christ
Jesus
,

Light

World
,
in
which
they
believing
,
and
their
faith
standing
in
his
Power
,
many
suffer
for
his
Name
sake
.
And
this
is
to
all
such
as
are
found
worthy
to

,
and
is
an
Exhortation
to

strengthning
of

And

a
true
Testimony
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
,
witnessed
by
us
who
are
called
of
God
,
in
whom
his
Power
is
made
manifest
.
TO
all
the
Children
of
Light
every
where
,
who
fear
and
love
the
Lord
,
who
are
begotten
of
God
,
and
unto
whom
he
is
known
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
;
this
is
a
Testimony
of
the
Fathers
love
unto
you
,
Grace
,
Mercy
,
and
Peace
from
him
that
lives
for
ever
,
the
God
of
Light
and
Life
be
multiplied
in
you
all
,
that
you
may
daily
be
renewed
in
strength
,
and
girded
with
Truth
,
and
armed
with
the
whole
Armour
of
God
,
and
may
be
kept
by
his
Power
until
the
day
of
Salvation
,
to
walk
in
the
Government
and
subjection
to
Jesus
Christ
,
witnessing
the
Power
and
Presence
of
God
in
you
,
and
amongst
you
,
giving
you
power
to
fulfil
his
Will
in
all
things
,
and
that
in
all
righteousness
,
and
out
of
all
evil
you
may
be
led
,
and
preserved
unto
the
end
,
and
in
the
end
,
to
shew
forth
the
praises
of
God
in
this
Generation
,
as
a
people
called
of
him
,
and
redeemed
by
him
for
his
great
glories
sake
;
even
so
Amen
,
and
Amen
.
Dearly
beloved
,
be
not
ignorant
,
but
this
know
,
This
is
the
Message
which
came
unto
you
,
which
is
true
and
faithfull
,
and
everlasting
,
That
the
true
God
is
Light
,
and
in
him
is
no
darkness
at
all
;
and
this
is
the
Message
of
Peace
and
Reconciliation
,
and
of
glad
Tidings
unto
all
that
have
sought
the
Lord
,
which
we
received
of
him
,
and
you
have
heard
,
and
there
is
not
another
to
be
declared
;
and
all
that
have
received
it
are
gathered
up
to
God
,
and
are
in
Covenant
with
him
,
and
one
with
another
,
and
are
in
that
which
reconcileth
and
joyneth
unto
Christ
Jesus
(
the
Husband
)
and
second
Adam
,
who
is
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
the
Prince
of
Peace
,
the
Saviour
and
the
Deliverer
,
who
is
made
manifest
in
power
,
and
condemneth
the
Transgressor
,
and
slayeth
the
Enmity
,
and
raiseth
the
Life
out
of
death
;
and
this
is
he
who
kills
and
makes
alive
,
even
the
God
who
is
Light
,
who
brings
down
one
,
and
sets
up
another
;
who
makes
war
against
the
mighty
,
and
gives
peace
to
the
poo●
;
and
besides
him
there
is
none
:
he
searcheth
mans
heart
,
and
trieth
the
reins
,
and
●no●
the
thoughts
,
and
every
Creature
is
manifest
in
his
sight
,
who
gives
to
every
one
according
to
his
doings
;
and
this
is
he
who
standeth
in
the
Congregation
of
the
Righteous
,
even
in
the
midst
of
us
,
and
sitteth
Judge
among
the
gods
,
unto
him
must
all
the
gods
of
the
Earth
bow
,
and
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
must
tremble
before
him
,
and
unto
him
every
Tongue
shall
confess
,
and
the
Light
in
every
man
shall
answer
,
when
he
ariseth
to
Judgment
,
who
is
a
swift
Witness
,
to
condemn
or
justifie
all
the
children
of
men
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
.
This
is
the
God
of
Truth
whom
we
worship
,
and
who
will
be
worshipped
in
Spirit
,
and
in
Truth
,
who
is
the
God
of
Abraham
,
and
his
Seed
for
ever
;
and
with
him
there
is
no
change
,
nor
shadow
of
turning
;
and
he
hath
made
known
his
Name
,
and
his
Power
,
and
his
wonderful
Works
in
this
his
Day
,
and
hath
caused
his
Voice
to
be
heard
in
the
Earth
,
and
the
Dead
hath
heard
,
and
now
liveth
.
And
his
Name
is
exalted
on
high
amongst
all
that
fear
him
,
and
obey
his
Voice
;
and
he
hath
given
his
Son
a
Covenant
of
Light
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
with
the
true
Light
of
Life
,
or
Condemnation
,
that
all
who
receive
him
may
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Father
,
whom
to
know
is
Life
eternal
.
And
this
is
the
Christ
,
the
Saviour
,
in
whom
we
have
believed
,
and
whom
we
preach
,
who
is
the
Way
,
the
Truth
,
and
the
Life
,
the
Foundation
of
God
,
which
cannot
be
moved
,
the
Word
of
God
is
his
Name
,
and
there
is
no
other
Name
given
for
Salvation
.
This
is
he
who
was
dead
,
and
is
alive
,
and
lives
for
evermore
,
and
there
is
no
other
to
be
looked
for
;
if
any
preach
any
other
,
let
them
be
accursed
;
and
if
any
bring
any
other
Message
,
let
them
not
be
received
.
And
all
you
who
have
believed
in
this
Christ
Jesus
,
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
who
have
received
the
knowledge
of
this
God
,
who
is
Light
himself
,
and
that
searcheth
your
hearts
,
I
exhort
you
,
and
warn
you
all
in
his
Presence
,
that
lives
forever
,
to
wait
upon
him
,
and
to
fear
before
him
,
and
to
walk
with
him
for
ever
in
uprightness
of
heart
,
which
is
of
great
price
in
his
Sight
;
and
forget
not
his
righteous
Judgments
,
which
he
hath
made
known
,
least
you
wax
fat
through
Mercies
,
and
rebel
against
him
,
and
become
disobedient
and
gainsaying
,
and
so
be
destroyed
from
being
a
People
;
but
be
stayed
upon
the
Lord
,
and
let
your
hearts
be
established
with
Grace
;
and
be
not
tossed
,
nor
shaken
with
any
wind
of
Doctrines
of
men
,
which
is
not
from
the
Life
of
God
,
nor
reacheth
to
the
Life
in
you
,
but
begets
into
Idolatry
,
to
worship
other
gods
then
he
who
is
Light
;
and
be
not
troubled
at
Temptations
,
nor
at
Sufferings
,
nor
at
Reproaches
,
nor
any
other
thing
;
but
stand
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
in
his
Long-suffering
,
and
wait
patiently
upon
him
,
in
your
own
measure
of
the
Grace
of
God
received
,
which
is
sufficient
for
you
,
to
preserve
you
,
that
Victory
over
Death
,
and
over
him
that
hath
the
power
over
it
,
you
may
receive
,
to
trample
upon
all
that
which
is
contrary
to
the
Life
of
God
within
you
,
and
without
you
;
neither
be
you
troubled
nor
offended
in
Christ
;
if
any
among
you
deny
the
Lord
,
and
backslide
from
his
pure
Way
,
through
an
evil
heart
of
unbelief
,
and
so
become
disobedient
Children
,
and
vex
the
righteous
Soul
;
such
shall
bear
their
own
burthen
,
and
condemnation
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
;
and
shall
know
,
that
Truth
changes
not
,
but
is
the
same
for
ever
,
though
the
Deceitful-hearted
through
unbelief
depart
from
it
,
and
choose
their
own
wayes
,
and
despise
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
to
their
own
destruction
;
but
be
ye
more
watchful
,
and
faithful
,
and
valiant
for
the
Truth
upon
Earth
,
unto
the
end
;
that
you
may
be
found
faithful
Witnesses
unto
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
in
this
crooked
Generation
;
and
may
receive
the
fulfilling
of
the
Promise
of
God
,
and
may
witness
God
within
you
,
the
Emanuel
,
the
Saviour
,
God
with
us
,
and
this
is
the
whole
Salvation
,
and
there
is
no
other
to
be
expected
,
or
witnessed
,
then
this
,
That
God
dwells
in
us
,
and
walks
in
us
,
according
to
his
Promise
;
and
all
that
know
this
,
need
nor
go
forth
to
the
right
hand
,
or
to
the
left
,
but
Salvation
is
come
unto
us
,
he
that
taks
away
sin
,
and
saves
from
it
,
and
from
condemnation
;
and
who
witnesseth
this
are
begotten
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
born
of
the
immortal
Seed
,
and
are
new
creatures
;
but
now
there
is
no
condemnation
,
but
the
reward
of
righteousness
and
peace
to
us
,
who
are
not
in
the
Flesh
,
but
in
the
Spirit
;
and
here
we
witness
the
Lord
is
our
God
,
and
we
are
his
People
,
and
he
seeth
no
sin
in
us
who
are
born
of
him
,
nor
remembers
iniquity
;
but
his
Covenant
is
with
us
,
and
the
Kingdom
is
become
the
Lords
,
and
his
Dominion
is
set
up
,
where
God
is
all
in
all
,
where
the
Prince
of
Darkness
is
cast
out
;
and
this
is
the
End
and
Substance
of
all
Ministrations
,
which
we
bear
witness
of
:
and
I
do
exhort
all
you
that
are
called
of
God
every
where
,
patiently
to
wait
in
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
his
Judgements
to
receive
this
,
and
to
possess
it
within
you
,
that
you
may
be
Worshippers
of
God
,
and
Doers
of
his
Will
,
and
may
have
the
Witness
,
that
you
are
accepted
of
him
,
and
may
know
your
Calling
and
Election
sure
,
where
nothing
that
defileth
can
enter
,
but
that
may
be
taken
away
,
and
removed
;
and
him
you
may
feel
and
witness
,
whom
Satan
hath
nothing
in
,
who
is
the
Second
Adam
,
and
cannot
be
overcome
,
but
is
greater
then
the
first
Adam
,
who
was
overcome
(
though
innocent
)
and
is
lost
from
the
Presence
of
God
;
but
he
in
whom
there
is
no
sin
,
and
who
cannot
transgress
,
comes
to
seek
and
to
save
that
which
was
lost
in
sin
,
and
to
bring
back
that
which
was
driven
away
by
sin
;
and
he
is
greater
then
Innocency
,
and
overcometh
the
Devil
,
and
is
called
the
Son
of
God
;
and
to
him
that
overcometh
,
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
is
all
Power
given
of
the
Father
:
And
know
him
in
you
all
to
be
greatest
,
who
is
not
of
the
World
,
nor
cannot
bow
to
the
Devil
,
to
give
you
dominion
and
authority
over
all
the
World
,
and
the
Powers
of
Hell
and
Death
,
even
he
who
sealeth
up
the
old
Dragon
in
Perdition
,
never
more
to
deceive
:
And
who
witnesseth
this
,
knoweth
the
Election
which
it
is
not
possible
to
deceive
,
or
be
deceived
;
and
as
every
one
of
you
have
received
him
who
is
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
so
let
your
Faith
stand
in
him
,
and
walk
in
him
;
and
let
all
your
Conversations
be
ordered
by
him
,
in
all
pure
and
blameless
walking
i●
the
sight
of
your
Enemies
,
that
it
may
be
manifest
that
you
are
Branches
in
him
,
and
that
you
have
received
power
to
become
the
Sons
of
God
,
and
that
you
are
Heirs
of
the
Inheritance
which
shall
not
fade
away
.
And
all
you
that
witness
this
,
your
eye
is
open
to
see
God
,
and
you
are
clensed
from
sin
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
you
have
received
the
peace
with
God
,
and
glad
tidings
from
him
in
your
own
Souls
;
and
this
is
Salvation
by
the
second
Ad●…
;
herein
be
established
and
setled
,
and
look
not
for
another
;
for
there
is
not
any
besides
this
Saviour
,
and
this
Salvation
;
but
if
any
preach
another
,
believe
hi●
not
;
and
if
any
cry
,
Lo
here
,
and
lo
there
is
Christ
,
without
you
,
go
not
after
them
,
nor
follow
them
,
but
know
him
within
you
,
which
is
greater
then
all
;
yea
,
If
we
our selves
,
or
an
Angel
from
Heaven
,
preach
any
other
Jesus
,
then
he
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
or
any
other
Salvation
,
the●
God
with
us
,
let
us
be
accursed
;
for
this
is
the
Gospel
of
our
Salvation
,
Christ
Jes●●
within
us
the
hope
of
Glory
,
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
God
to
rule
and
reign
i●
us
,
by
which
we
are
changed
from
death
to
life
,
and
translated
from
the
power
of
Darkness
into
the
Kingdom
of
his
dear
Son
.
And
now
all
Friends
and
Elect
of
God
,
who
are
called
and
faithfull
,
you
that
have
received
this
Testimony
which
God
hath
given
of
the
Son
,
and
which
th●
Son
hath
given
of
the
Father
,
which
in
faithfulness
hath
been
testified
in
this
Generation
;
I
exhort
you
all
in
the
fear
and
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
take
heed
to
th●●
which
you
have
believed
,
and
heard
,
and
learned
of
the
Father
,
which
is
t●●
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
and
shall
abide
for
ever
;
and
be
not
removed
from
yo●…
hope
,
nor
given
to
change
,
but
mind
the
Life
of
God
in
you
all
,
which
is
immortal
,
and
is
but
one
,
and
it
answereth
to
the
Lord
in
Judgments
,
and
in
Mercies
,
and
one
to
another
in
that
which
is
righteous
and
just
,
and
witnesseth
against
all
the
works
of
the
World
,
which
are
evil
,
and
not
wrought
in
God
.
Ye
that
know
this
which
is
of
the
Father
in
you
,
dwell
in
it
,
and
walk
in
it
,
and
be
not
shaken
out
of
it
,
nor
removed
from
it
,
for
it
is
the
Way
of
Peace
unto
everlasting
Rest
,
where
there
is
no
sorrow
,
but
Righteousness
,
Peace
,
and
Joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
;
and
every
one
in
particular
,
have
Salt
in
your selves
to
savour
withal
,
that
you
may
resist
the
Wicked
One
in
all
his
Temptations
,
and
may
not
joyn
to
any
thing
which
is
out
of
union
,
and
contrary
to
the
Life
of
God
,
and
to
the
Truth
which
you
have
received
,
that
you
may
never
be
betrayed
of
your
Hope
,
nor
of
the
Simplicity
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
in
which
the
Father
is
well
pleased
;
and
let
the
Light
of
the
World
guide
you
in
all
things
,
that
your
works
may
be
wrought
in
God
,
never
to
be
condemned
,
nor
you
to
suffer
loss
,
knowing
this
first
,
That
none
are
justified
by
him
,
but
them
that
are
led
and
guided
by
him
;
and
to
whom
he
is
a
Saviour
,
he
is
also
a
Teacher
,
and
he
is
given
to
Teach
in
all
the
Wayes
of
Truth
.
And
now
let
your
fellowship
be
in
the
Life
and
Power
of
God
,
and
know
not
one
another
in
words
only
,
and
in
shews
,
and
in
outward
appearance
,
but
witness
one
another
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
have
communion
there
,
in
breaking
the
Bread
of
Life
,
that
Christ
Jesus
may
be
seen
to
be
the
Head
in
you
,
and
you
Members
to
serve
him
,
and
one
another
,
all
receiving
Wisdom
from
the
Head
,
and
Vertue
from
the
Vine
(
Christ
Jesus
)
that
you
may
abound
in
Love
,
Mercy
,
and
Peace
,
and
all
the
fruits
of
Righteousness
unto
the
Father
;
and
dwell
in
the
Fear
and
Counsel
of
God
,
and
be
subject
to
his
Will
,
not
despising
the
Cross
,
which
is
the
Power
of
God
,
which
slayeth
the
Birth
that
is
born
of
the
flesh
,
which
is
not
Heir
of
the
Promise
;
but
walk
in
the
Cross
daily
,
that
your
Understandings
may
be
kept
open
,
to
try
and
discern
all
spirits
,
whether
they
be
of
God
;
and
believe
not
every
spirit
,
for
lying
spirits
may
arise
among
your selves
,
and
go
forth
from
the
Light
,
who
are
not
in
the
Truth
,
but
in
the
Feignedness
and
Hypocrisie
,
with
false
Visions
,
and
lying
Imaginations
,
handling
the
Word
of
God
deceitfully
,
and
corrupting
and
perverting
the
pure
Way
of
God
,
having
the
Form
,
but
not
the
Power
,
having
left
the
Power
,
and
gone
from
the
Light
,
and
such
utter
the
Words
of
Truth
without
the
Life
,
and
are
but
as
the
Chaff
to
the
Wheat
,
and
they
are
to
be
denied
and
resisted
,
and
not
joyned
to
,
lest
innocency
and
simplicity
be
betrayed
,
and
your
Faith
made
void
,
and
so
you
destroyed
from
the
Life
of
God
,
and
Death
surprise
you
,
and
Darkness
enter
into
your
Dwellings
,
and
so
Unbelief
,
and
Doubting
,
and
Murmurring
,
and
Lustings
after
evil
arise
in
you
,
and
you
be
perverted
from
the
Worship
of
the
true
God
,
and
grieve
his
Righteous
Spirit
,
by
bowing
to
Idols
,
and
following
of
other
Lovers
,
and
so
the
true
God
,
who
hath
brought
you
out
of
Aegypt
,
and
made
manifest
his
Power
in
you
,
be
forgotten
,
and
the
Faith
of
his
Son
made
Ship-rack
of
,
and
your
latter
end
be
worse
then
the
beginning
,
and
the
Name
of
the
Lord
be
dishonoured
by
you
,
and
then
wo
unto
you
,
his
Wrath
shall
suddenly
break
out
against
you
:
Wherefore
hear
and
fear
,
and
hearken
unto
the
Word
of
the
Lord
;
He
hath
caused
his
Light
to
shine
forth
,
and
his
voice
to
be
heard
;
he
hath
proclaimed
his
Name
amongst
you
,
and
hath
caused
his
marvellous
Light
to
approach
,
when
you
sate
in
Darkness
,
in
the
Land
of
the
shadow
of
death
;
when
you
were
lost
,
he
sought
you
,
and
when
you
were
driven
away
and
scatterred
,
he
found
you
,
and
brought
you
home
;
when
you
were
in
your
blood
,
and
no
eye
pittied
you
,
he
had
Mercy
upon
you
,
and
bound
you
up
,
and
healed
you
;
when
you
were
dead
,
he
said
unto
you
,
Live
;
and
it
was
so
:
when
you
were
led
captive
by
the
Devil
under
the
power
of
death
,
he
broke
the
Chains
,
and
set
you
free
;
and
when
there
was
none
to
help
nor
to
save
,
his
own
Arm
brought
deliverance
and
salvation
,
and
the
Way
of
Life
and
Peace
he
set
before
you
.
And
now
all
this
hath
his
own
Arm
accomplished
,
that
you
should
be
a
Praise
unto
him
for
evermore
;
now
if
you
walk
in
the
Way
,
which
he
hath
set
before
you
,
and
keep
his
Covenant
which
he
hath
made
with
you
,
and
fulfil
his
Will
,
and
walk
in
Righteousness
,
in
Love
,
and
Unity
,
in
Meekness
,
Lowliness
,
Humbleness
,
and
in
Soberness
,
and
Watchfulness
,
and
in
Fear
of
his
Name
;
then
shall
his
Presence
never
forsake
you
,
nor
his
outstretched
Arm
cease
to
defend
and
preserve
you
,
but
he
shall
go
before
you
,
and
be
your
Reward
;
and
he
shall
be
your
God
,
and
you
shall
be
his
People
,
and
shall
dwell
in
him
;
and
he
shall
be
your
Hiding-place
,
and
he
will
be
to
you
a
Father
,
and
you
shall
be
his
Children
,
and
his
Blessing
and
Peace
shall
remain
in
your
Habitations
,
for
ever
and
ever
;
but
if
any
of
you
turn
aside
for
a
thing
of
naught
,
after
vanity
,
and
deny
the
Way
of
Righteousness
,
and
forget
the
Lord
,
and
kick
against
him
,
and
follow
the
way
and
counsel
of
your
own
hearts
,
and
worship
other
gods
,
and
joyn
your selves
to
Strangers
,
and
commit
Adultery
with
other
Lovers
,
and
make
the
Cross
of
Christ
of
none
effect
,
and
turn
from
the
Light
of
Christ
within
you
,
and
fulfil
your
own
wills
,
and
the
desire
of
your
own
minds
,
and
go
out
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord
into
the
liberty
of
the
flesh
,
(
which
is
not
the
Liberty
in
Christ
Jesus
)
and
so
seek
your selves
,
and
strive
for
mastery
to
be
one
above
another
,
and
so
surmise
evil
one
against
another
,
and
the
bond
of
peace
be
broken
,
and
vain
contention
and
strife
appear
;
then
shall
the
Rod
of
God
smite
you
,
and
his
Wrath
be
suddenly
kindled
against
you
,
and
you
shall
not
prosper
,
but
his
Countenance
shall
be
hid
,
and
the
terrors
of
the
Lord
,
and
Lamentations
shall
possess
you
,
and
Peace
shall
flee
far
from
you
;
and
such
shall
be
cast
out
of
the
Camp
of
the
Lord
,
and
shall
have
no
part
in
the
Inheritance
,
but
the
Blessing
shall
depart
,
and
the
Curse
shall
enter
,
till
utter
destruction
;
yea
,
and
if
any
of
you
deny
the
Lord
,
unto
whom
his
Way
is
made
manifest
,
he
will
deny
you
,
and
you
shall
have
no
part
in
him
,
but
Vengeance
in
Flames
of
Fire
will
he
render
upon
the
Disobedient
,
manifold
more
then
if
his
Love
and
Way
of
Peace
had
not
been
made
manifest
to
you
,
and
the
Light
of
the
World
is
your
condemnation
for
evermore
,
if
you
turn
from
it
.
And
in
the
Presence
of
the
living
God
,
I
warn
you
all
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
brings
any
other
Message
then
what
hath
been
declared
from
the
beginning
;
Believe
not
him
which
crieth
,
Lo
here
,
or
Lo
there
is
Christ
without
you
,
or
that
draweth
from
the
measure
of
Christ
within
you
,
to
hearken
to
,
or
to
be
taught
by
any
other
thing
;
for
that
sp●●●t
is
not
of
the
Father
which
preacheth
any
other
Christ
then
he
that
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
lighte●●
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
or
bring●●●
any
other
Message
,
then
that
God
is
Light
in
himself
,
and
hath
given
his
Son
a
Light
into
the
World
;
and
this
is
the
true
Testimony
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
;
and
he
that
testifieth
any
other
Message
,
is
to
be
judged
and
denied
;
he
is
not
a
Worshipper
of
the
true
God
,
b●●
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
in
the
Error
,
and
a
Deceiver
,
being
deceived
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
ministreth
to
others
that
which
it
hath
not
learned
o●
the
Father
,
but
hath
the
words
without
the
Power
,
and
liveth
not
in
the
Power
of
what
it
ministreth
forth
in
words
,
nor
is
it
what
it
declareth
,
but
is
in
the
outward
Shews
,
in
the
Hypocris●●
,
and
Feignedness
,
and
reacheth
not
the
Life
of
God
,
but
vaileth
and
covereth
it
,
and
that
spirit
is
not
of
the
Father
,
but
is
to
be
denyed
,
and
judged
,
and
not
received

Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
is
at
liberty
in
the
flesh
,
and
maketh
the
offence
of
the
Cross
to
cease
,
which
is
exalted
out
of
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
liberty
of
the
earthly
,
which
crucifieth
the
Life
,
and
darkeneth
the
Eye
;
and
that
spirit
will
boast
of
Joy
,
and
Peace
,
and
Experience
,
and
Knowledge
,
and
speak
high
words
in
the
airy
Wind
,
and
that
would
lead
yo●
out
of
your
conditions
,
to
glory
above
the
Cross
,
till
you
be
past
feeling
of
the
Life
;
and
that
spirit
begetteth
into
Feignedness
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
into
the
Lo●e
of
the
World
,
which
passeth
away
;
and
beware
of
that
spirit
,
for
it
is
not
of
the
Father
,
but
to
be
condemned
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
is
hasty
,
and
forward
,
and
rash
;
for
that
goeth
out
of
God's
Counsel
,
and
betrayeth
the
Just
,
and
striveth
to
be
greatest
,
and
to
be
above
the
Weak
,
and
despiseth
him
,
and
would
be
Master
,
and
not
a
Servant
,
and
would
rule
,
and
not
be
ruled
in
the
meek
and
lowly
Government
of
Christ
;
and
that
sp●●it
will
judge
,
out
of
thoughts
,
rashly
and
unsavourly
,
and
condemn
another
in
secret
in
what
it self
is
guilty
of
;
beware
of
that
spirit
,
for
it
is
not
of
God
,
but
to
be
judged
with
the
Life
of
God
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
seeks
it self
to
have
praise
of
men
,
and
to
be
accounted
,
and
would
beget
into
divisions
,
and
would
have
Parties
to
it self
,
and
respects
persons
and
glories
in
gifts
,
and
knowledge
,
and
parts
,
more
then
in
the
Giver
,
and
admires
men
more
then
he
that
gives
the
encrease
,
and
feeds
of
the
knowledg
in
that
nature
which
is
to
be
famished
,
and
glories
in
what
hath
been
done
by
it
,
as
though
it
had
not
received
power
from
the
Lord
,
and
is
exalted
,
as
though
it
bare
the
Root
,
not
knowing
that
it
is
born
of
the
Root
;
and
that
spirit
spends
its
Treasure
(
which
it
received
in
the
Fathers
house
)
amongst
Harlots
,
and
despises
the
poor
,
and
seeks
occasion
to
glory
over
the
weak
,
that
it
may
be
renowned
;
beware
of
that
spirit
,
I
charge
you
all
,
for
it
is
not
of
the
Father
,
nor
to
be
followed
,
but
to
be
condemned
,
and
resisted
unto
death
.
Again
,
believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
preacheth
not
from
the
measure
of
God
received
,
and
to
be
manifest
to
it
in
you
,
and
approved
by
it
only
;
but
speaks
above
the
measure
,
and
reaches
not
to
the
measure
of
the
Grace
of
God
;
that
spirit
leads
after
words
and
outward
shews
,
and
cries
peace
to
the
Rich
,
and
judgment
to
the
Poor
,
and
the
Word
of
God
is
not
divided
aright
,
but
heals
up
falsly
,
and
daubs
with
untempered
morter
,
and
cries
peace
where
God
speaks
war
;
and
cries
war
where
God
speaks
peace
;
and
that
Spirit
is
a
Deceiver
and
a
Betrayer
,
and
feeds
but
the
Ear
,
and
not
the
Life
,
and
darkens
the
Counsel
of
God
by
words
without
knowledge
,
and
is
not
of
the
Father
,
but
of
the
World
,
and
to
be
denied
and
condemned
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
is
not
subject
to
rule
and
order
,
and
is
not
meck
,
and
diligent
,
and
long
suffering
,
but
heady
,
and
high
,
and
untoward
,
seeking
occasions
against
the
Just
,
and
Watcheth
for
evil
;
that
spirit
will
not
bear
reproof
,
but
is
idle
,
sloathfull
,
and
careless
,
and
surmising
evil
,
and
backbiting
,
and
conforms
in
appearance
,
making
a
fair
shew
,
but
is
not
unto
God
,
as
appearing
unto
man
;
and
that
would
go
,
and
is
not
called
;
and
will
not
go
when
it
is
called
;
and
seeks
for
the
praise
of
men
more
then
God
,
and
that
is
fruitless
ground
,
and
brings
forth
Bryars
and
Thorns
in
secret
,
which
choaks
the
Seed
of
God
;
beware
of
that
spirit
,
it
is
a
Lover
of
this
World
;
have
no
fellowship
with
it
,
for
it
is
not
of
the
Father
,
but
a
Deceiver
,
and
is
to
be
a
denied
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
is
tossed
and
unsetled
,
and
is
given
to
change
,
and
is
not
established
with
Grace
,
that
is
an
Adulterer
,
and
hun●s
for
the
precious
Life
,
and
seeks
by
flattery
to
beguile
the
Innocent
;
that
spirit
is
zealous
for
a
moment
,
but
is
soon
overcome
,
and
is
stony
ground
,
and
brings
not
forth
fruit
to
perfection
,
but
withers
,
and
its
latter
end
is
worse
then
the
beginning
.
That
spirit
is
exalted
into
presumption
in
peace
,
and
cast
into
desperation
in
trouble
,
and
the
double
minde
lodgeth
in
it
,
and
it
is
unstable
in
all
its
wayes
,
and
is
a
ground
for
the
Seed
of
Satan
,
and
to
it
there
is
no
peace
from
God
;
and
beware
of
that
spirit
,
for
it
is
not
of
the
Father
,
but
to
be
condemned
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
Spirit
,
neither
follow
it
,
which
is
more
zealous
then
knowing
,
whose
zeal
is
without
true
knowledge
,
and
stands
in
that
which
is
corrupted
,
that
flourisheth
for
a
moment
,
but
cannot
endure
for
ever
;
it
hath
no
root
in
it self
,
but
is
furious
,
and
passionate
,
and
not
long-suffering
;
that
spirit
knows
not
its
self
,
but
would
devour
its
Adversaries
with
bitterness
,
and
not
gain
by
long-suffering
;
that
is
not
the
spirit
of
the
Father
,
but
must
be
denied
in
all
.
Again
,
Believe
not
that
spirit
which
draws
back
into
the
World
,
into
its
lusts
,
and
liberty
,
and
fashions
which
passe
away
;
that
spirit
forgets
God
,
and
draws
back
,
for
his
Soul
hath
no
pleasure
in
it
,
but
is
vexed
with
it
,
where
the
Cross
is
made
of
none
effect
,
and
the
false
liberty
is
walked
in
,
which
murders
the
Life
;
that
spirit
is
of
the
Devil
,
and
is
to
be
condemned
.
And
now
all
Friends
of
God
every
where
,
who
knows
him
,
and
are
known
of
him
whom
he
hath
gathered
out
of
this
untoward
Generation
,
be
diligent
in
your
Callings
,
and
keep
your
Meetings
in
faithfulness
,
waiting
upon
the
Lord
,
that
you
all
may
receive
of
his
fulness
to
be
filled
with
it
,
and
may
be
nourished
up
unto
himself
,
as
trees
of
righteousness
,
the
planting
of
his
own
right
hand
,
to
spread
forth
his
Name
and
Glory
,
as
a
people
saved
by
him
,
and
to
who●
there
is
none
like
besides
.
And
this
know
and
understand
,
that
spirit
is
not
of
the
Father
,
which
confesseth
not
the
Son
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
,
who
destroys
the
works
of
the
Devil
,
and
takes
away
sin
;

that
Spirit
believe

follow
whi●●
condemns
sin
,
and
destroys
it
,
and
takes
it
away
,
and
so
gives
peace
with
God
i●
your

Consciences
,
and
leads
you
into
all
Truth

keeps
you
from
all

you

the
Son
you
know

and
the
Father
you
know

to
dwell
with
you

in
you

this
is
the
first
,
and

last
;
believe
in
him
and
follow
him

and
look
not
for
any

;
and
in
this
the
Father
of
Life

Glory
,
whose
Dominion

without

establish
you

To

Testimony
of
Iesus

fo●
his

THe
glorious
God
of
Truth
hath
appeared

made
known
his
Way

Truth
perfectly
in

to

of
his

before
Rulers

hath
brought
forth
a
Seed
which
is

which
cannot
bo●

the
Devil

is
Heir
of
Gods
Inheritance

though
a
Sufferrer
in

many
in
this
Generation

who
are
called

faithfull

chosen

bear
witness
unto
the
Name
of
the
Lord
in
Sufferings

whom
he

because
they
honour

who

And
now
all
Friends
who
are

for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
and
fo●
the
exercise

a
pure
Conscience

and
faint
not

finish
your

joy

a●●
against
all

and
look
not
forth
at
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
,
b●●
look
beyond
them
to
the
recompence
of
reward
;
neither
be
offended
in
Christ
,
though
ye
are
called
to
suffer
for
him
,
and
for
his
Name
sake
;
but
dwell
in
the
peace
with
God
,
which
is
a
sufficient
reward
;
and
take
heed
to
your
Life
which
is
immortal
,
that
it
you
may
feel
and
enjoy
,
and
account
that
the
present
Sufferings
are
not
worthy
to
be
reckoned
with
the
glory
that
is
to
be
revealed
,
and
of
which
you
have
the
earnest
,
even
present
peace
with
God
;
and
look
beyond
your
Sufferings
,
and
before
the
rage
of
man
was
,
and
feel
the
Life
of
God
in
yo●
fresh
and
lively
,
which
is
more
then
all
things
,
to
carry
you
above
all
the
World
,
and
all
its
Envy
,
which
is
against
the
Seed
of
God
.
And
take
heed
of
Temptations
,
for
the
power
of
Satan
will
work
,
and
is
ne●●
to
tempt
you
in
Sufferings
,
to
gain
dominion
over
you
,
and
to
touch
your
life
,
and
to
cast
you
down
:
Therefore
mind
the
Life
of
God
in
you
to
have
dominion
,
which
Satan
hath
nothing
in
,
which
is
not
given
him
to
touch
;
and
that
is
more
then
all
;
yea
,
all
that
a
man
hath
will
he
give
for
his
Life
to
enjoy
,
when
he
is
tryed
;
(
this
I
witness
)
and
you
are
tryed
by
sufferings
and
tribulations
,
and
your
Faith
and
Patience
is
proved
;
therefore
approve
your selves
faithful
unto
the
Lord
,
by
Long-sufferings
and
Patience
,
that
Satan
overcome
you
not
,
though
he
may
touch
you
,
and
have
power
to
cast
some
of
you
into
Prison
,
and
otherwayes
to
winnow
you
,
and
to
try
you
for
your
Life
;
but
be
faithful
unto
death
,
and
you
shall
receive
the
Crown
of
Life
Eternal
;
and
keep
the
Word
of
his
Patience
,
that
you
may
be
delivered
,
and
Satan
may
bow
under
your
foot
.
And
all
you
who
suffer
for
Well-doing
,
who
hold
fast
the
Testimony
which
you
have
received
of
God
;
now
when
your
hearts
are
searched
,
blessed
from
the
Lord
you
are
,
your
Reward
you
shall
possess
,
which
no
man
can
take
away
,
even
the
Life
,
and
Liberty
,
and
Treasure
,
which
Satan
cannot
touch
nor
spoile
you
of
.
Ye
that
suffer
because
you
cannot
fulfil
wickedness
,
nor
the
will
of
man
,
but
are
of
the
Seed
which
cannot
please
man
,
nor
bow
to
the
Devil
;
ye
suffer
for
Christ
,
and
for
Righteousness
sake
,
who
cannot
walk
contrary
to
the
Light
of
Christ
within
you
,
but
rather
choose
to
suffer
under
corrupt
men
,
and
Laws
,
then
to
transgress
God's
righteous
Law
,
written
in
your
hearts
;
you
are
chosen
to
fulfil
the
Will
of
God
by
sufferings
,
and
are
not
of
the
World
,
and
therefore
the
World
hates
you
.
And
all
you
that
suffer
imprisonment
of
Body
,
or
spoiling
of
Goods
,
or
Travels
,
or
any
other
thing
,
because
you
cannot
pay
Tythes
,
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
unto
you
,
You
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
unjustly
,
by
the
oppression
of
men
,
for
Well-doing
,
and
not
for
evil
;
and
the
Lord
will
be
your
exceeding
great
Reward
;
Look
beyond
your
outward
Liberty
,
and
know
the
liberty
in
Spirit
,
in
the
Father
,
and
in
the
Son
,
where
is
everlasting
Peace
and
Freedom
,
which
none
can
bring
into
Bondage
;
and
look
beyond
all
outward
Treasure
and
Riches
,
and
see
God's
Treasure
,
and
possess
it
,
which
never
waxes
old
,
which
none
can
spoile
you
of
,
as
Witnesses
for
the
Lord
,
and
for
his
Truth
,
and
Covenant
you
suffer
;
and
it
is
for
a
Testimony
against
all
your
Enemies
,
and
against
Oppression
and
Oppressors
;
for
the
Cry
of
that
Oppression
the
Land
groans
under
,
and
for
Ages
hath
done
;
but
the
Lord
is
now
risen
against
it
;
for
its
cry
reacheth
to
Heaven
,
against
the
unrighteous
Exactors
,
whose
cruel
hands
have
heavily
oppressed
the
Just
,
and
the
Poor
in
this
particular
;
and
herein
your
suffering
is
for
a
Testimony
against
your
cruel
Adversaries
(
whether
Priests
or
others
)
and
against
the
unjust
Judges
and
Lawyers
,
and
their
whole
Train
of
Oppressors
;
for
this
end
are
you
called
to
suffer
,
and
to
you
it
shall
be
made
easie
,
if
you
abide
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
till
Vengeance
overcome
your
Adversaries
,
therefore
lift
up
your
heads
,
and
fulfil
the
Will
of
your
Father
in
Patience
,
and
in
Faithfulness
,
till
the
Lord
appear
for
you
who
hearkeneth
to
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
,
and
regardeth
him
that
Suffereth
unjustly
,
and
will
recompence
the
Oppressors
,
into
their
bosomes
;
and
will
break
every
Yoak
,
and
be
a
Terror
to
all
the
Cruel-hearted
.
And
all
you
that
suffer
,
who
are
moved
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
to
bear
witness
against
the
false
Worships
,
and
against
the
false
Teachers
,
and
Idol-Temples
,
of
which
the
Land
is
full
;
and
who
are
moved
to
testifie
against
sin
,
in
Rulers
,
Priests
,
or
People
;
whether
your
suffering
be
Imprisonment
,
or
Beating
,
and
Stoning
,
or
other
Abuses
or
Cruelties
whatsoever
,
which
the
Devil
hath
power
to
lay
upon
you
;
you
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
for
Well-doing
,
if
in
the
Wisdom
of
God
you
be
guided
,
and
the
Lord
will
be
your
Reward
and
Peace
forever
:
Lift
up
your
heads
,
and
rejoyce
in
him
▪
and
abide
in
his
Counsel
,
ye
that
suffer
herein
for
him
▪
and
for
his
Names
sake
;
for
your
suffering
is
for
a
Testimony
against
all
this
Generation
,
against
the
Idol
Worships
and
Wayes
,
which
God's
Soul
loathes
,
and
which
he
will
confound
;
and
against
the
Idol
Teachers
,
and
false
Prophets
,
and
Priests
,
who
preach
for
Hire
,
and
make
Merchandise
of
souls
,
against
whom
Gods
Wrath
is
kindled
,
and
upon
whom
his
Indignation
will
be
poured
;
and
it
is
a
Testimony
against
the
sins
of
Rulers
and
People
,
which
abound
in
this
Generation
,
till
the
measure
of
it
be
fulfilled
through
persecuting
of
you
,
who
warn
them
of
the
evil
,
and
bear
witness
against
their
evil
deeds
,
that
God
may
be
justified
when
he
condemneth
them
;
and
he
is
risen
against
the
Worships
,
and
Wayes
,
and
Teachers
,
and
People
,
whose
abominable
iniquities
have
overgrown
the
World
,
and
prophaneness
hath
gone
forth
from
them
,
through
Nations
;
Rulers
;
and
Teachers
,
and
People
are
all
out
of
the
Way
,
and
given
to
Vanity
,
to
Covetousness
,
and
Idolatry
;
and
the
Breath
of
the
Lord
shall
consume
you
together
(
all
who
do
oppress
the
Just.
)
Therefore
Friends
,
be
patient
and
content
under
all
Tribulations
and
suffering
,
and
feel
Gods
living
Presence
near
you
,
to
overshaddow
you
,
and
to
be
your
Hiding-place
;
and
know
the
Life
,
which
the
wickedness
and
cruelty
of
man
cannot
touch
nor
reach
unto
;
and
dwell
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
which
moves
to
bear
witness
for
him
,
and
against
all
those
abominations
;
and
that
will
keep
you
above
all
the
afflictions
which
can
be
cast
upon
you
,
and
you
will
be
on
the
top
of
your
Enemies
;
and
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
shall
hardly
bruise
your
Heel
.
Wo
unto
the
Idol
Worships
,
and
Temples
,
and
Teachers
,
to
all
the
Hirelings
,
and
Deceivers
,
who
feed
themselves
and
not
the
Flock
,
which
abound
in
the
World
,
and
in
this
Nation
,
they
must
down
into
perdition
;
the
Lord
is
risen
against
them
all
,
to
pluck
up
by
the
root
,
that
the
branches
may
wither
;
and
his
Arm
shall
watch
over
them
,
to
overthrow
them
all
,
and
to
make
them
desolate
,
that
the
Just
may
be
delivered
.
And
all
you
who
suffer
any
where
Imprisonment
,
or
Finings
,
or
reproaches
,
or
any
other
thing
,
because
ye
cannot
Swear
for
Conscience
sake
;
nor
respect
Persons
,
according
to
the
vain
Customs
of
the
Heathen
,
but
are
redeemed
out
of
the
Customs
and
Superstitions
of
men
,
which
are
of
the
World
,
and
are
evil
,
and
not
of
God
,
nor
justified
by
him
;
you
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
for
Christs
sake
,
and
are
Witnesses
for
God
herein
,
against
the
Superstitions
,
and
Wickedness
,
and
Pride
,
and
High-mindedness
of
men
;
and
the
Lord
is
with
you
,
if
you
be
ruled
in
his
Wisdom
,
and
are
faithful
to
him
;
and
he
will
lift
up
your
heads
,
till
his
and
your
Adversaries
be
confounded
.
And
I
charge
you
all
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
who
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
in
these
things
,
or
in
any
other
,
who
are
moved
of
the
Lord
to
bear
witness
of
the
Truth
,
and
against
the
deceits
of
the
World
,
be
not
exalted
in
the
flesh
in
your
sufferings
,
lest
you
forget
God
:
Nor
be
not
cast
down
into
sorrow
,
lest
ye
be
overcome
of
the
Devil
;
but
dwell
in
the
measure
of
the
Power
and
Life
of
God
,
which
is
above
all
,
and
more
then
all
;
and
feel
Gods
living
Arm
to
stay
your
hearts
,
to
watch
to
his
own
in
you
,
to
refresh
you
continually
.
And
resist
the
Devil
on
every
hand
,
with
the
Armour
of
Light
and
Truth
,
that
your
Life
may
be
preserved
in
Dominion
over
all
things
,
even
the
Life
which
is
not
of
this
World
in
you
,
may
not
be
vailed
nor
overcome
;
for
to
enjoy
the
Life
of
God
with
you
is
enough
;
if
you
pass
through
the
Fire
,
and
through
the
Water
,
it
keeps
you
and
carries
you
above
all
,
[
this
I
witness
]
and
it
is
more
then
all
outward
Freedom
,
or
Liberty
,
or
Riches
,
or
Treasure
of
this
World
;
and
walk
herein
in
Boldness
,
and
Faithfulness
,
and
Patience
,
as
you
have
us
for
an
Example
in
Christ
Jesus
,
who
are
in
Jepardy
every
hour
,
often
in
Tryals
,
Sufferings
,
and
Dangers
,
and
love
not
our
lives
unto
death
for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
which
we
hold
,
and
that
his
Name
and
Truth
may
be
exalted
in
the
Earth
;
but
as
the
Lord
moves
are
carried
through
Nations
,
among
Lyons
and
Devourers
,
such
as
seeks
our
life
for
their
Prey
,
and
yet
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
our
Defence
,
and
Arm
,
and
Preserver
above
all
.
Therefore
look
you
at
the
Lord
in
all
Affliction
and
Distress
,
and
know
his
Reward
with
you
,
that
your
Burden
and
Yoak
may
be
easie
,
and
not
hard
;
for
his
Presence
makes
all
things
joyful
:
And
know
,
that
it
is
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
for
his
Honour
,
and
for
his
Kingdom
,
which
God
will
set
up
through
suffering
,
for
this
cause
are
ye
called
to
suffer
;
and
your
Life
,
nor
liberty
,
nor
any
other
thing
is
not
to
be
measured
nor
compared
herewith
,
So
u●to
every
one
of
you
I
am
moved
to
write
,
and
to
warn
you
all
in
the
fear
of
God
,
be
content
,
and
long-suffering
,
and
patient
,
and
finish
you
Testimony
with
rejoycing
,
if
ye
seal
it
with
your
Blood
,
and
dwell
with
the
Lord
in
his
holy
Habitation
of
Peace
,
out
of
respect
to
time
,
or
places
,
or
things
;
and
give
up
your selves
,
that
his
will
in
you
may
be
fulfilled
.
And
think
it
not
strange
though
you
have
fiery
trials
;
neither
be
moved
at
any
Suffering
without
you
,
or
troubled
in
spirit
;
neither
let
it
break
your
peace
nor
fellowship
with
God
by
any
impatiency
,
or
murmurings
,
or
temptations
,
for
then
will
your
sufferings
be
grievous
to
you
,
and
the
Enemy
within
and
without
will
have
ground
against
you
to
overthrow
you
;
and
know
,
it
is
that
which
ever
was
in
all
Ages
,
and
no
new
thing
for
the
Seed
of
God
to
suffer
by
the
Seed
of
Evil-doers
,
for
the
wicked
alwayes
strengthened
their
hands
in
cruelty
against
the
Righteous
,
and
laid
heavy
burthens
upon
the
Just
,
and
caused
the
Innocent
to
groan
under
them
,
for
a
time
,
till
iniquity
was
fulfilled
,
that
they
might
be
broken
,
and
the
Oppressed
delivered
,
and
alwayes
the
Lord
exalted
his
Name
by
the
sufferings
of
his
people
,
as
we
have
a
Cloud
of
Witnesses
of
our
Fore-fathers
that
went
before
,
who
did
bear
witness
to
the
Name
of
the
Lord
through
faithfull
suffering
;
so
it
is
no
strange
thing
hath
happened
unto
you
,
but
that
which
is
common
to
all
the
Saints
,
who
enter
the
Kingdom
through
tribulation
;
blessed
are
you
,
if
you
be
faithfull
unto
the
end
,
that
you
may
reap
the
reward
of
your
works
,
of
your
sufferings
and
patience
,
even
the
Crown
of
Life
that
never
fades
away
;
so
the
Lord
God
of
Life
preserve
you
.
And
all
Frieds
every
where
,
I
am
moved
to
warn
you
,
Dwell
in
love
and
unity
,
and
fellowship
one
with
another
in
the
Light
,
and
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
and
fulfil
the
Law
of
Christ
,
and
bear
one
anothers
burden
,
and
suffer
with
one
another
,
that
none
be
oppressed
among
you
in
any
thing
,
whilst
others
are
free
;
but
that
the
burden
of
all
things
,
and
the
care
of
all
things
,
in
relation
to
the
Truth
,
be
equal
among
you
,
according
to
every
ones
freedom
,
and
as
every
one
is
moved
of
the
Lord
,
so
to
administer
to
one
anothers
necessities
,
as
Members
of
one
Body
,
to
the
honouring
of
the
Head
,
and
spreading
of
the
Truth
,
that
there
be
no
complaining
,
but
equallity
and
justness
,
and
the
Government
of
Christ
ruling
among
you
,
and
his
Wisdom
in
all
things
:
Feed
no
excess
,
nor
the
lustfull
devouring
mind
in
any
;
neither
suffer
the
Distressed
to
perish
for
want
;
but
reach
one
to
another
in
love
,
and
like
mindedness
;
suffering
for
one
another
,
and
all
caring
for
the
Truth
above
all
things
,
that
God
may
dwell
among
you
,
and
be
known
that
he
is
in
you
of
a
truth
;
And
in
this
the
Wisdom
of
God
guide
you
all
,
Amen
.

EDWARD
BURROUGH
THE
Testimony
of
the
Lord
CONCERNING
LONDON
.
Witnessed
in
Truth
and
Faithfulness
,
to
the
Consciences
of
all
People
in
it
,
that
they
may
return
to
the
Lord
,
and
Repent
.
Also
,
the
Great
Abominations
discovered
of
this
People
,
who
draws
near
God
with
their
Mouthes
,
and
professeth
Self-Separation
,
when
as
their
Hearts
be
far
from
the
Lord
.
With
a
Warning
to
all
sorts
of
People
in
it
,
what
the
Lord
requires
of
them
.
O
LONDON
,
thou
art
weighed
in
an
even
Ballance
,
and
found
t●…
light
;
thou
are
measured
by
an
equal
Line
,
and
found
to
short
,
and
t●…
narrow
,
and
thy
People
cannot
stand
in
Judgment
;
for
abundance
of
iniquity
lodgeth
within
thee
,
and
thou
aboundst
in
all
unrighteousness
thy
sins
are
grown
over
thy
head
,
and
with
transgression
thou
art
covered
,
as
wi●…
a
Garment
;
from
the
Head
to
the
Foot
thou
art
corrupted
,
and
there
is
mu●
unsoundness
in
thee
:
O
how
doth
Pride
abound
!
Lightness
,
and
Wantonness
,
and
the
lust
of
the
Eye
,
and
all
the
works
of
the
Flesh
are
encreased
to
a
large
su●
;
aboundance
of
Idolatry
and
Vanity
springs
out
of
thee
;
vain
Fashions
,
foolish
Customs
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
hath
its
abiding
in
thee
;
yea
,
the
very
Seat
of
Satan
is
established
within
thy
Wall
,
and
works
of
unrighteousness
do
proceed
out
of
thee
into
other
Nations
;
aboundance
of
deceitfull
Merchandize
,
and
of
oppressing
Merchants
,
who
grind
the
face
of
the
Poor
,
do
inhabit
thy
Borders
;
thy
wayes
are
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Spirit
is
grieved
,
and
his
So●●
is
vexed
from
day
to
day
,
every
moment
of
time
.
Aboundance
of
Treachery
,
Flattery
,
and
Hypocrisie
,
Dissimulation
,
and
Double-heartedness
possesseth
thine
Inhabitants
,
from
Teachers
to
People
,
High
and
Low
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
you
are
fulfilling
your
own
wills
,
and
seeking
your
own
pleasures
,
and
following
the
counsels
of
your
own
hearts
,
and
doing
that
which
is
right
in
the
sight
of
your
own
eyes
;
and
your
hearts
are
corrupted
before
the
Lord
,
and
the
very
best
of
your
works
are
evil
,
and
the
purest
of
your
wayes
are
filthy
;
and
all
your
Observations
,
your
dayes
of
Humiliation
,
and
Thanksgivings
,
and
all
your
Worships
,
and
Sacrifices
,
are
abomination
in
the
fight
of
the
Lord
;
for
no
good
fruit
can
spring
forth
,
for
your
root
is
not
the
Vine
Christ
Jesus
,
who
cannot
own
the
Light
,
with
which
you
are
enlightened
,
and
that
makes
all
your
profession
vile
,
and
not
accepted
,
but
it
is
wholly
unfruitfull
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
.
Much
Profession
is
in
thee
of
Righteousness
,
and
Religion
,
and
many
Forms
,
and
Gatherings
of
People
,
which
are
but
as
so
many
Images
,
and
liknesses
of
divers
sorts
,
which
must
be
overturned
,
and
overthrown
by
the
roots
.
You
are
all
measured
with
the
Line
of
true
Judgment
,
and
your
Buildings
cannot
stand
,
when
the
Lord
comes
to
try
you
,
and
search
,
and
try
you
for
your
life
;
for
though
you
profess
much
,
yet
you
perform
little
;
your
knowledg
puffs
you
up
,
and
you
are
not
sincere-hearted
,
but
loose
,
and
unsavory
are
you
in
your
wayes
and
words
:
There
is
much
wisdom
in
thee
,
and
many
wise
men
whose
wisdom
is
devillish
,
and
it
doth
not
lead
to
God
,
it
must
be
confounded
and
trodden
down
;
for
it
profits
you
not
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
but
in
it
you
are
wise
to
do
evil
,
but
to
do
good
you
have
no
knowledge
;
and
the
Lord
God
is
forgotten
,
and
his
Judgments
are
not
known
;
Vanity
,
vanity
hath
so
stolen
away
your
hearts
,
and
after
Idols
are
you
run
,
worshipping
strange
gods
,
and
following
strange
lovers
:
Aboundance
of
subtilty
and
craft
lodges
in
thee
;
vain
glory
excels
above
measure
;
Pride
,
Idleness
and
fulness
of
Bread
abounds
in
thee
,
even
as
in
Sodom
,
unto
whom
thou
art
become
equal
in
trangression
.
Whoredom
,
Drunkenness
,
Wrath
,
and
Envy
,
Gluttony
,
and
Excess
,
spending
the
Creation
upon
the
lust
,
and
all
the
Works
of
the
flesh
,
which
are
ev●●
,
have
their
full
growth
in
thee
;
and
in
evil
art
thou
fully
ripe
.
O
London
!
Consider
,
and
be
awakened
ye
Inhabitants
thereof
;
for
the
Lord
is
grieved
day
by
day
,
and
his
Soul
is
vexed
every
moment
;
the
weight
of
thy
Transgression
is
upon
him
;
thou
even
makest
him
to
serve
with
thy
sins
:
Hath
there
been
any
evil
committed
by
any
Nation
,
which
is
not
in
thee
?
Hath
there
been
any
abomination
brought
forth
,
which
is
not
in
this
day
to
be
found
in
thee
?
Oh
what
Haughtiness
,
and
stretched-out-Necks
!
Oh
what
Pride
,
and
Vain
glory
appears
in
thee
!
Even
thy
Infants
are
nourished
up
in
vanity
;
and
thy
old
Men
are
over-grown
with
craft
,
and
deceit
;
thy
young
Men
give
their
strength
to
folly
;
and
thy
Maidens
are
trimed
in
wantonness
;
all
sorts
of
People
are
prophane
in
their
Way
;
Old
and
Yong
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
are
abounding
in
evil
;
all
seeking
their
own
things
,
and
few
the
things
of
Gods
Kingdom
;
the
Way
of
Truth
is
even
despised
,
and
they
that
depart
from
iniquity
are
become
a
Prey
to
the
mouthes
of
the
Ungodly
,
who
are
grievously
prophane
,
as
though
the
Lord
took
no
notice
,
or
as
though
no
day
of
account
was
to
come
;
so
great
is
the
iniquity
committed
in
thee
,
words
reacheth
not
to
manifest
it
:
What
Lying
,
what
Swearing
,
what
Vain-talking
,
and
what
Scorning
,
and
what
Double-dealing
appears
in
thee
at
every
corner
?
What
Pride
,
what
Wantonness
,
and
Wickedness
is
manifest
in
all
thy
Streets
;
Teachers
and
People
are
out
of
the
Way
,
given
to
deceit
,
and
to
deceiving
,
Oppressors
,
and
oppressing
one
another
;
such
is
the
Devils
Power
amongst
you
ruling
,
it
cannot
easily
be
overcome
;
so
deep
is
wickedness
seated
in
thee
,
that
it
cannot
easily
be
plucked
up
;
so
strong
is
the
lust
of
the
flesh
grown
in
thee
,
that
it
cannot
easily
be
removed
:
How
is
the
glorious
Name
of
the
Lord
continually
dishonoured
and
polluted
through
thy
Wickedness
,
which
is
grown
into
a
numberless
sum
.
But
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
on
all
you
his
Enemies
,
and
will
meet
you
with
Judgments
,
Plagues
,
and
Vengeance
,
and
the
Wicked
shall
not
escape
.
And
as
concerning
all
thy
Profession
of
God
,
and
the
Scriptures
in
a
blind
Zeal
,
it
is
but
abomination
to
the
Lord
;
and
all
thy
several
Sects
,
and
Gatherings
of
People
,
and
separate
Congregations
,
who
are
not
separated
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
they
are
but
like
so
many
molten
and
carved
Images
,
which
the
Lord
will
overthrow
.
All
thy
Offerings
,
and
Oblations
,
Preaching
,
Praying
,
and
Performances
God's
Soul
hath
no
pleasure
in
them
,
but
they
are
a
Burden
and
Weariness
to
him
;
and
though
thou
washest
thy self
never
so
clean
,
and
makest
thy self
never
so
fair
through
thy
own
labour
,
yet
cannot
thy
iniquities
be
washed
away
,
nor
thy
sin
covered
;
for
thy
iniquities
are
marked
before
the
Lord
,
and
thy
sin
is
written
as
with
a
Pen
of
Iron
,
and
as
with
the
point
of
a
Diamond
.
All
thy
Steeple-House
Worship
is
nought
but
vanity
before
the
Lord
.
All
thy
publique
Exercises
,
all
thy
Saboath
keeping
,
all
thy
set
dayes
of
Humiliation
,
and
all
thy
private
Duties
,
and
all
that
ever
thou
performest
unto
God
,
are
not
regarded
of
him
,
while
the
hearts
of
thy
People
are
not
aright
in
his
sight
,
and
upright
before
him
;
so
the
best
of
thy
Sacrifices
are
but
as
the
cutting
off
of
a
Dogs
neck
,
and
the
offering
of
Swines
blood
;
for
in
thee
is
found
the
great
Abomination
;
open
Prophainness
abounds
,
and
secret
Hypocrisie
super-abounds
,
and
thou
art
as
abominable
in
the
Eyes
of
the
Lord
in
thy
Hypocritical
Profession
of
Righteousness
,
as
thou
art
in
thy
open
sins
.
In
thee
is
found
the
Abomination
of
Israel
,
Mercy
and
Truth
,
Justice
and
true
Judgment
is
neglected
;
Do
not
thy
Heads
judge
for
Reward
?
And
do
not
thy
Priests
preach
for
Hire
?
And
dot
not
thy
Prophets
prophesie
falsly
?
And
do
not
they
divine
for
money
?
And
do
not
thy
People
love
to
have
these
things
so
?
Oh
how
art
thou
deceived
by
thy
Teachers
,
&
led
blind
by
the
blind
Leaders
!
even
they
that
lead
thee
,
cause
thee
to
err
;
and
they
that
should
instruct
thee
,
teache
thee
vain
things
:
Wo
unto
them
,
the
Lords
Wrath
is
against
them
;
How
do
they
make
a
Prey
upon
the
People
?
How
do
they
feed
themselves
,
and
cloath
themselves
,
each
one
of
them
having
a
Quarter
,
from
which
they
seek
their
Gain
,
and
through
Covetousness
make
Merchandize
of
souls
;
●he
false
Prophets
of
Israel
were
their
Example
,
and
they
follow
in
the
Path
of
Unrighteousness
;
having
run
and
were
never
sent
of
God
,
and
therefore
the
People
are
not
profited
at
all
,
nor
turned
to
God
,
but
from
year
to
year
,
and
time
to
time
,
ever
learning
,
but
cannot
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
Ignorance
abounds
in
thy
old
Men
,
and
Rudeness
and
Wildness
in
thy
Youths
,
and
thy
People
are
without
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
perish
for
lack
of
Knowledg
:
Thou
art
even
as
a
wild
untilled
Garden
,
which
bringeth
forth
no
plesant
Fruit
;
thy
Vines
are
as
the
Vines
of
Sodom
,
and
thy
Fruit
is
loathsome
to
the
Lords
Taste
;
wild
Grapes
and
sour
Grapes
are
brought
forth
in
thee
,
which
the
Lord
hath
no
pleasure
in
;
ye
bring
forth
fruit
unto
your selves
,
and
not
unto
the
Lord
;
ye
kindle
a
Fire
and
warm
your selves
with
your
own
sparks
;
ye
sacrifice
to
your
own
Net
,
and
ye
think
to
be
heard
for
your
much
Babling
,
and
your
many
Performances
:
Aboundance
of
the
first
mans
wisdom
is
among
you
,
it
leads
you
,
and
guides
you
,
and
not
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
through
your
own
wisdom
,
which
is
devillish
,
you
conform
to
the
Saints
words
,
and
to
thei●
practises
in
outward
appearance
,
and
make
your selves
like
the
Saints
,
and
bow
unto
your
own
Images
and
Likenesses
,
which
ye
make
;
and
are
grown
wise
,
and
full
of
knowledge
,
but
it
is
not
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
nor
the
Knowledge
that
will
endure
for
ever
;
for
you
neglect
the
one
thing
,
which
is
only
needful
to
Eternal
Life
.
Your
Buildings
are
high
,
but
they
are
not
upon
the
true
Foundation
;
for
many
of
you
stumble
at
the
Corner
Stone
;
your
sprinkling
Infants
is
a
v●ry
Cheat
,
and
all
that
believe
therein
are
deceived
;
and
your
singing
of
David's
●●periences
,
in
rime
and
meeter
,
is
a
very
Lye
unto
you
;
your
Worship
is
but
Idolatry
,
and
it
will
not
cover
you
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
;
though
none
be
like
unto
thee
O
London
,
in
Profession
,
nor
any
City
hardly
can
compare
with
thee
,
in
respect
of
the
Multitude
of
thy
gathered
Assemblies
,
and
self
Separates
;
yet
all
this
will
not
availe
thee
,
when
the
Lord
searcheth
thy
heart
,
which
is
found
not
perfect
beforethe
Lord
,
but
full
of
vain
glory
,
and
lust
,
and
pleasures
of
the
flesh
and
dissimulation
,
and
guile
,
which
the
Wrath
of
God
will
be
revealed
against
:
A
single
and
an
upright
Heart
is
of
greater
price
with
the
Lord
;
then
all
the
Performances
of
Self-righteousness
that
is
done
in
thee
,
while
your
hearts
are
given
to
vanity
,
and
continue
therein
.
Wherefore
O
London
,
this
is
a
Warning
to
thee
,
Let
thy
Inhabitants
repent
,
the
dreadful
Day
of
the
Lord
is
coming
;
I
have
heard
the
voice
of
War
against
thee
,
and
not
of
Peace
,
the
cry
of
Howling
and
bitter
Lamentation
,
and
not
of
gladness
,
nor
joy
of
heart
;
What
wilt
thou
do
in
the
day
of
thy
Visitation
,
when
the
Lord
stretcheth
forth
his
Hand
to
smite
thee
?
To
whom
wilt
thou
flee
?
And
where
wilt
thou
be
hid
,
when
the
Lord
shews
himself
thy
Enemy
,
and
appears
to
take
an
account
of
thee
?
What
will
become
of
all
thy
Treasures
?
How
will
thy
vaine
glory
become
a
stink
,
?
How
will
the
dayes
of
thy
mirth
be
turned
into
gr●evous
sorrow
,
instead
of
thy
pleasures
and
delicacies
,
and
mirth
,
and
wantonness
,
shall
be
Sighing
,
and
Mourning
,
and
woful
Lamentation
;
all
thy
gods
shall
not
be
able
to
deliver
thee
,
nor
all
thy
Profession
shall
not
justifie
thee
,
nor
all
thy
self-separating
People
shall
not
be
able
to
stand
in
the
gap
,
to
stay
the
hand
of
the
Destroyer
,
none
of
thy
carved
Images
shall
stay
his
fury
,
nor
none
of
all
thy
several
Sects
shal
be
a
mountain
to
hide
thee
,
when
the
Lord
strips
thee
naked
,
and
layes
thee
bare
,
and
gives
thee
to
know
what
is
in
thy
heart
,
which
will
come
upon
thee
in
a
day
not
looked
for
.
Wherefore
repnet
all
sorts
of
People
,
and
turn
to
the
Lord
,
if
there
may
be
mercy
found
.
Cease
your
Wickedness
,
ye
Wicked
,
and
learn
to
live
Righteously
.
Wo
unto
you
Drunkards
.
Wo
unto
you
Whormongers
.
Wo
unto
you
Covetous
.
Wo
unto
you
Lyars
,
Swearers
,
and
Scorners
.
Wo
unto
you
Dissemblers
,
and
deceitful
Dealers
.
Wo
unto
you
Proud
,
and
Vain-glorious
.
Wo
unto
you
lustful
People
.
The
Lord
will
plead
with
you
all
,
and
give
unto
you
the
fruit
of
your
doings
,
and
reward
you
according
to
your
works
;
his
hand
shall
not
spare
,
nor
his
Eyes
shall
not
pitty
in
the
day
that
he
comes
to
Judgment
,
when
he
takes
vengeance
upon
all
the
seed
of
Evil-doers
,
and
to
pluck
up
the
wild
branches
,
and
to
cast
them
into
the
fire
.
Sackcloth
shall
be
put
on
instead
of
gay
Apparel
,
and
all
thy
Idols
shall
vanish
away
;
as
for
all
thy
Profession
,
where
is
it
?
All
thy
many
Sermons
,
and
long
Prayers
,
what
is
become
of
them
?
And
all
thy
publick
and
private
Duties
,
where
are
thy
?
shall
it
be
said
.
Ye
shall
all
know
that
there
is
a
God
,
that
will
execute
judgment
and
justice
,
and
that
will
plead
with
all
flesh
,
and
in
his
sight
shall
no
flesh
be
justified
.
And
all
ye
who
thirst
for
the
Lord
,
and
desire
after
the
knowledge
of
his
Wayes
,
unto
whom
iniquity
is
a
burden
,
by
you
desired
to
be
freed
from
,
who
have
long
sought
the
Lord
,
and
have
not
yet
found
him
,
who
have
prayed
,
and
had
no
answer
,
and
have
been
weary
and
heavy
laden
,
and
found
no
rest
:
I
say
unto
you
,
Save
your selves
from
this
untoward
Generation
,
come
ye
out
of
these
abominations
,
that
you
may
be
delivered
from
the
Wrath
:
Fear
ye
the
Lord
,
and
do
not
offend
him
in
any
thing
,
stand
in
awe
,
and
transgress
not
,
love
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
touch
no
unclean
thing
and
the
Lord
will
receive
you
;
meddle
not
with
their
Worships
,
bow
not
to
their
Images
,
nor
sacrifice
not
to
their
Idol
gods
;
have
no
fellowship
with
them
in
their
prophanness
,
nor
yet
in
their
hypocrisie
;
but
hearken
ye
to
the
Voice
of
the
Lord
,
that
ye
may
know
his
Judgments
in
your
hearts
,
and
his
Law
and
Covenant
established
with
you
;
depart
from
all
iniquity
,
and
cast
away
all
your
Idols
,
and
forsake
all
your
Lovers
.
Give
not
your selves
to
the
wayes
and
pleasures
of
this
World
,
but
give
your selves
to
Chastity
,
to
Soberness
,
and
Meekness
,
and
above
all
things
be
upright
in
heart
towards
God
,
and
towards
man
;
speak
the
truth
one
to
another
,
and
let
no
Guile
dwell
in
your
Lips
,
nor
a
dece●tful
Tongue
in
your
Mouth
.
And
cease
from
all
Vain-glory
,
and
vain
Customs
,
and
Fashions
of
the
World
,
which
are
evil
.
And
cease
from
all
Men-teachers
,
which
deceive
the
People
by
flattering
words
,
who
cry
Peace
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
peace
,
&
daub
with
untempored
Morter
,
such
have
not
profited
you
at
all
,
but
your
soules
are
starved
under
your
Ministry
,
and
leanness
is
upon
you
;
though
you
ever
learn
of
them
,
yet
you
cannot
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
them
.
Cease
from
them
all
,
and
from
all
your
gathered
and
self-separate
Congregations
,
and
wait
upon
the
Lord
that
you
may
know
him
to
be
your
Teacher
,
who
is
the
Teacher
of
all
his
People
,
and
he
teacheth
in
the
perfect
Way
of
Peace
and
Truth
,
and
giveth
Peace
unto
all
that
wait
upon
him
,
and
causeth
the
heart
of
the
Upright
to
rejoyce
;
he
taketh
away
sin
,
and
removes
it
from
his
People
,
and
he
forgiveth
all
their
iniquities
,
and
healeth
all
their
backslidings
,
and
blessed
are
all
they
that
put
their
their
trust
in
him
;
for
he
is
a
God
near
at
hand
;
for
he
dwells
with
his
People
,
and
he
is
worshipped
only
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
.
He
dwelleth
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands
,
neither
is
he
worshipped
in
outward
Observations
;
his
Soul
hath
no
pleasure
among
any
self-separate
People
,
who
cry
,
I
am
holyer
then
another
,
neither
is
he
well
pleased
with
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Proud
;
all
their
Baptisms
,
and
Fellowships
,
and
Meetings
,
is
but
a
weariness
to
the
Lords
Soul
;
and
he
hath
no
pleasure
in
any
of
their
works
,
who
follow
their
own
spirit
,
and
are
not
led
with
the
pure
Spirit
of
God
alone
,
but
unto
every
one
of
s●ch
will
he
look
,
who
is
poor
in
spirit
,
and
of
a
contrite
heart
,
and
of
a
single
and
upright
mind
;
he
giveth
regard
unto
every
one
that
fears
his
Name
,
who
thirst
and
hunger
after
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
this
is
of
exceeding
great
price
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
yea
,
more
then
all
Offerings
and
Oblations
whatsoever
,
even
more
then
thousands
of
Rams
,
and
ten
thousand
of
Rivers
of
OYLE
.
Therefore
hearken
diligently
to
the
voice
of
the
Lord
;
and
seek
him
with
an
upright
Heart
,
and
thirst
for
him
as
for
your
daily
Food
;
loose
not
your
precious
time
,
but
call
upon
his
Name
while
he
is
near
,
for
he
is
come
neer
unto
many
;
he
stands
at
the
door
,
if
any
will
open
,
he
will
come
in
,
and
will
dwell
with
them
for
evermore
.
All
sorts
of
People
,
be
Awakened
,

How
doth
the
Lord
wait
to
be
gratious
unto
you
?
He
even
tarrieth
for
you
,
till
you
return
to
him
,
〈◊〉
his
Soul
may
have
pleasure
in
you
,
who
hath
long
been
grieved
by
you
:
Therefore
search
your
own
hearts
,
and
see
how
you
stand
prepared
to
meet
the
Lord
by
following
of
his
Counsel
,
who
hath
so
loved
you
,
and
all
Man-kind
,
that
he
hath
given
his
Son
into
the
World
,
to
be
a
Light
unto
you
all
,
and
every
on●
of
you
is
lighted
by
him
,
and
with
the
Light
you
will
know
your
evil
deeds
,
and
are
convinced
of
them
,
and
reproved
for
them
;
and
with
this
Light
Jes●…
Christ
calleth
you
Sinners
to
Repentance
,
to
turn
from
your
evil
,
that
you
may
be
restored
.
If
you
love
this
Light
,
you
love
Christ
,
who
will
save
you
from
all
your
〈◊〉
▪
and
from
condemnation
;
If
you
hate
this
Light
,
you
hate
Christ
,
and
you
●●main
in
your
sins
to
be
everlastingly
condemned
:
And
thus
is
the
Way
of
Life
a●●
the
way
of
Death
set
before
you
all
;
if
you
follow
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
it
will
teach
you
to
deny
this
World
,
and
all
the
vanities
of
it
;
it
will
teach
you
to
deny
your
own
wills
,
and
the
counsels
of
your
own
hearts
,
and
whatsoever
is
contrary
to
God
in
thought
,
word
,
or
action
;
and
in
all
things
it
will
teach
you
to
follow
Jesus
Christ
,
that
you
may
be
justified
by
him
:
But
if
you
follow
not
t●…
Light
,
then
you
choose
your
own
wayes
,
to
follow
your
own
wills
,
and
yo●
own
lusts
,
and
all
temptations
,
and
you
deny
Christ
,
and
the
Way
of
Truth
,
and
〈◊〉
the
Wrath
of
God
abides
upon
you
;
for
you
continue
in
unbelief
,
and
in
hardness
of
heart
,
and
are
the
Servants
of
sin
unto
death
,
if
you
follow
not
the
Lig●●
which
Christ
hath
enlightened
you
withal
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
comes
●●to
the
World
,
that
they
may
believe
and
be
saved
.
Therefore
take
heed
to
the
Light
,
if
you
be
guided
by
it
,
you
shall
not
transgress
against
God
,
but
you
w●…
receive
the
Power
of
God
to
overcome
all
evil
;
all
sin
and
iniquity
will
be
condemned
in
you
,
and
your
hearts
will
be
made
clean
for
the
Lord
to
dwell
in
,
who●●
dwelling
is
in
his
People
;
and
you
must
all
cease
from
professing
of
what
you
〈◊〉
not
possess
,
and
from
talking
of
what
you
do
not
enjoy
,
for
that
is
Hypocrisie
,
an●
to
be
judged
.
So
all
ye
Professors

be
Awakened

Christ
without
you
will
not
justifie
you

ex●…
ye
know
Christ
within
you
,
the
Profession
of
him
will
not
take
away
sin
,
not
●●stifie
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
except
you
come
to
witness
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
〈◊〉
you
,
to
teach
you
to
depart
from
all
evil
,
and
to
lead
you
into
all
good
.
Therefore
come
to
the
feeling
of
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
in
you
,
and
the
worki●●
of
it
,
which
changeth

reneweth
,
and
sanctifieth
,
and
bringeth
to
witness
〈◊〉
same
Truth
to
be
manifested
in
the
heart
,
which
the
Scriptures
speak
of
without
▪
and
as
you
receive
the
same
Spirit
which
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
so
you
will
u●derstand
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
no
other
means
;
For
all
your
preaching
,
an●
talking
of
the
Scriptures
without
the
Spirit
is
but
vain
babling
,
and
that
mout●
is
to
be
stopt
;
for
God
is
not
known
where
the
Operation
of
his
Spirit
is
no●
felt
in
the
heart
,
nor
he
cannot
be
worshipped
in
Truth
,
but
where
his
Spirit
lead●
and
guides
.
Much
vain
Profession
there
is
in
thee
O
City
,
in
which
the
Lord
hath
no
delight
;
and
this
is
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord
,
which
I
give
concerning
thee
,
and
do
yet
once
more
call
unto
thee
as
often
I
have
done
,
and
do
seal
the
Lords
Testimony
against
thee
,
even
against
all
thy
righteousness
,
and
against
all
thy
sin
,
which
are
both
alike
unto
God
,
and
both
to
be
condemned
.
Thou
hast
been
warned
,
and
thy
People
,
and
the
day
of
a
glorious
Visitation
hath
passed
over
thee
;
the
Lord
hath
reached
unto
many
,
and
stricken
many
,
who
have
not
grieved
,
but
carelesly
walked
,
and
slighted
the
day
of
their
Visitation
,
and
have
not
hearkened
to
the
Lords
Call
;
Unto
thousands
hath
the
word
of
the
Lord
been
declared
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
God
preached
nigh
at
hand
,
and
the
very
Way
of
Life
and
Death
hath
been
set
before
you
;
for
the
Lord
hath
sent
to
thee
to
warn
●hee
,
and
to
shew
unto
thee
what
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
is
;
and
thousands
have
been
reached
with
the
Power
of
God
,
and
convinced
of
the
Way
of
Life
●nd
Peace
,
who
yet
continue
in
hardness
of
heart
,
and
disobedience
,
following
the
●ounsel
of
their
own
hearts
,
and
the
desire
of
their
own
minds
,
which
are
wholly
evil
●ontinually
,
and
the
condemnation
of
such
will
be
just
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
and
greater
then
theirs
to
whom
the
Way
of
the
Lord
hath
not
been
known
.
And
yet
●mongst
thy
Thousands
who
are
in
the
way
to
destruction
,
the
Lord
hath
a
Rem●ant
,
a
Few
among
so
many
,
which
are
precious
unto
him
,
and
whom
his
soul
de●ighteth
in
,
who
are
despised
in
thee
,
and
set
at
nought
,
and
cast
out
of
the
sa●our
of
all
men
;
yet
is
the
Lords
Presence
amongst
them
,
and
his
Fear
in
their
●earts
,
and
his
encrease
is
unto
them
,
and
his
Power
with
them
,
till
all
their
●nemies
be
vanished
as
a
Cloud
;
for
they
are
of
the
true
Seed
,
and
of
the
true
●irth
,
which
the
Lord
will
bless
,
though
they
be
accounted
as
thy
Slaves
and
●ondmen
,
yet
are
they
free
in
the
Lord
;
and
this
is
the
very
fulfilling
of
thy
●ickedness
,
and
the
height
of
the
Transgression
of
thy
Rulers
,
Teachers
,
and
●eople
,
in
that
some
of
them
that
fear
the
Lord
,
and
walk
with
him
are
perse●uted
in
thee
;
even
they
are
made
a
Prey
unto
the
Wicked
,
to
the
Slanderers
,
to
●he
Drunkards
,
to
the
Scorners
,
to
Unjust
and
Cruel
men
;
the
People
of
the
●ord
are
become
a
very
prey
in
thee
,
even
as
meat
for
the
Devourers
.
Oh
what
●ilt
thou
do
in
the
day
of
thy
Visitation
,
when
the
righteous
Judge
numbreth
●p
these
things
against
thee
?
Thy
staff
shall
fail
thee
,
thy
Phisitians
shall
be
of
no
value
'
and
all
thy
Comforters
shall
be
miserable
at
that
day
.
I
have
truly
●onsidered
thy
condition
,
and
measured
thy
state
,
and
I
have
often
seriously
●eighed
thy
wickedness
,
and
pondered
what
would
be
the
end
thereof
,
&
there
is
no
●ision
of
Peace
unto
thee
,
but
even
the
day
of
desperate
sorrow
,
a
recompence
●or
all
thy
works
from
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
.
I
have
often
truly
lamented
thee
,
and
seriously
hath
thy
condition
entred
into
●y
heart
;
thy
iniquities
have
often
pressed
my
soul
,
and
my
Spirit
hath
been
●rieved
within
me
,
when
I
have
viewed
thy
great
abomination
,
and
how
Thou●ands
in
thee
wholly
perish
for
lack
of
Knowledge
,
and
even
resists
and
will
not
be
●nstructed
,
despitefully
using
such
as
do
warn
them
,
even
loving
and
delighting
in
●heir
Abominations
.
These
things
have
often
made
my
Heart
sad
,
who
have
walked
in
thee
as
a
Stranger
,
and
measured
thee
with
the
line
of
true
Judgment
,
and
this
is
thy
Height
,
and
●ength
,
and
Depth
,
Iniquity
lodgeth
in
thee
,
and
Iniquity
covers
thee
,
and
In●quity
●●mpasseth
thee
about
.
And
this
is
a
Warning
to
thee
from
the
Lord
,
in
faithfulness
declared
unto
●hee
,
whether
thou
resist
,
or
receive
,
thus
far
I
am
clear
of
the
Blood
of
all
men
in
●hee
,
who
seeketh
not
any
thing
in
thee
for
my self
,
but
seeketh
(
and
hath
often
)
●o
the
Lord
for
thee
,
that
thy
People
might
know
him
,
and
worship
him
alone
,
●ho
giveth
unto
them
all
good
things
,
and
hath
caused
the
fulness
of
all
good
Crea●ures
to
abound
,
and
hath
given
plenty
of
all
things
,
aboundance
of
which
is
●pent
vainly
upon
the
lust
to
the
dishonour
of
God
who
giveth
it
;
How
much
●s
vainly
spent
upon
Vanity
in
Meats
,
Drinks
,
and
Apparel
?
It
s
hard
to
be
●eclared
what
aboundance
of
the
good
Creatures
of
God
are
vainly
destroyed
in
●hee
upon
the
lust
in
the
excess
,
more
then
what
satisfies
pure
Nature
,
your
gluttonny
and
high
minds
devour
in
aboundance
the
good
Creatures
which
God
gives
,
and
he
is
thereby
grieved
with
you
,
who
hath
taken
notice
of
this
your
sin
,
which
is
not
the
least
of
your
Transgressions
,
and
he
will
plead
with
you
for
it
;
even
in
all
things
great
is
your
wickedness
,
and
the
Lord
hath
numbred
it
.
And
above
all
things
that
is
done
in
thee
,
thy
deceitful
Profession
,
and
Pretence
of
worship
of
God
,
is
the
Lord
most
grieved
with
who
hateth
all
your
Meetings
of
gathered
Assemblies
,
which
are
not
gathered
by
his
Spirit
;
he
will
confound
yo●
wisdom
,
and
overthrow
all
your
buildings
:
Wherefore
repent
ye
,
and
cease
from
Idols
,
and
all
Idolatry
,
and
cease
for
ever
to
warm
your selves
at
your
own
SPARKS
;
for
this
shall
you
have
at
the
Lords
hands
,
Ye
shall
lie
down
is
Sorrow
.
A

speak

Truth
every

flatter
not

all

And

in

to

Glory

not

in

upon

Therefore

and
covet
not

And

Let

And
all

Learn

take

learn
not

first
seek
the
Kingdom
of
God
and
its
Righteousness
,
and
then
all

unto
you
.
Give
not

in
all
things
that

deny
them
in
whatsoever
is
evil
;
learn
not
Craft
and
Policy
from
them
,
neither
Whoredom
,
nor
Vice
,
nor
Drunkenness
,
nor
Cozening
,
nor
any
other
thing
which
is
evil
,
but
rather
reprove
those
things
,
then
in
the
lest
to
follow
them
;
and
if
you
do
the
Truth
,
and
speak
the
Truth
in
all
things
,
and
keep
your selves
from
whatsoever
is
evil
,
then
will
the
Lord
bless
you
outwardly
,
and
inwardly
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
God
will
be
your
Crown
in
old
Age
;
And
cease
from
all
Gamings
,
and
vain
Sportings
,
and
from
all
Wontonness
,
and
vain
Pleasures
,
and
from
all
the
works
of
the
flesh
;
for
they
that
follow
such
things
shall
neither
prosper
in
this
World
,
nor
be
blessed
in
the
World
to
come
.
Wherefore
take
heed
unto
your selves
all
ye
that
are
young
in
the
World
,
be
not
overcome
of
evil
,
nor
follow
not
evil
Divices
,
but
stand
in
awe
continually
,
and
offend
not
God
,
who
gives
you
Life
,
and
Health
,
and
all
good
things
.
And
all
ye
Masters
and
Heads
of
Families
,
this
is
a
Warning
to
you
,
Be
Examples
of
all
good
in
your
Families
unto
your
Children
and
Servants
;
rule
in
Authority
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
but
not
in
Tyranny
,
nor
a
Rigorous
mind
;
teach
and
instruct
in
fear
,
and
not
in
cruelty
;
give
no
bad
example
in
Pride
,
Vain-glory
,
Drunkenness
,
Whoredom
,
Dissimulation
,
nor
any
other
thing
,
but
stand
as
a
Terror
over
all
evil
,
and
as
Encouragers
of
all
good
;
bind
not
the
Conscience
of
any
under
your
power
,
curb
sin
only
,
and
reprove
not
Righteousness
;
seek
ye
to
be
taught
of
God
,
and
then
may
you
instruct
all
under
you
in
his
Way
;
be
pittiful
towards
your
Children
,
and
Servants
,
and
pass
by
offences
rather
then
punish
them
with
cruelty
;
and
make
not
a
prey
upon
your
Servants
,
to
serve
your
own
ends
only
,
seeking
your
own
good
only
,
and
not
theirs
;
for
such
things
are
evil
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
it
is
to
be
condemned
:
Let
no
Excess
,
neither
let
Want
be
in
your
Families
,
but
that
which
is
honest
and
right
,
love
that
in
all
things
,
and
follow
it
;
let
not
your
anger
and
passion
exceed
when
offence
is
given
you
,
and
do
not
correct
in
cruelty
,
but
in
a
good
understanding
;
and
walk
in
the
Truth
,
and
fulfil
the
will
of
God
,
and
not
your
own
,
and
this
is
of
great
prize
and
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
.
And
all
ye
Tavern-keepers
,
and
Inn-keepers
,
fear
the
Lord
God
,
and
oppress
not
your
Guests
,
neither
feed
the
lust
of
any
till
they
be
drunk
,
for
that
is
cursed
of
God
both
in
you
and
them
,
and
that
which
he
will
be
avenged
of
.
Oh
great
is
that
abomination
among
you
;
much
of
the
good
Creatures
is
vainly
and
wickedly
spent
,
and
abused
in
your
Dwellings
,
and
your
advantage
stands
in
the
abuse
of
the
Creatures
by
excess
,
and
the
Lord
is
grieved
with
you
because
of
that
.
And
all
sorts
of
People
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
High
and
Low
,
Masters
and
Servants
,
Parents
and
Children
,
Buyers
and
Sellers
,
Trades-men
and
Labourers
,
Hearken
to
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
seek
to
know
his
Will
to
you
in
all
things
,
that
you
may
do
it
,
in
following
all
that
which
is
good
,
and
denying
all
that
which
is
evil
,
that
your
souls
may
live
:
Let
not
the
Devil
lead
you
,
nor
his
temptations
overcome
you
in
any
thing
,
but
resist
him
in
whatsoever
he
would
lead
you
into
,
which
is
against
God
,
and
contrary
to
him
.
Repent
of
all
evil
that
ever
you
have
acted
,
and
let
the
Lord
be
your
Guide
,
that
you
may
not
utterly
perish
,
and
your
City
be
destroyed
for
your
sakes
;
the
Lords
Love
is
towards
you
,
and
he
waits
to
be
gratious
unto
you
,
and
desireth
your
return
,
rather
then
your
Destruction
,
and
would
heal
you
if
you
did
wait
upon
him
,
and
would
bless
your
City
,
and
make
you
happy
in
it
,
if
you
do
his
Will
,
and
deny
your
own
.
I
am
a
Friend
unto
all
your
souls
,
and
a
Publisher
of
Peace
,
and
of
Glad-tidings
to
all
that
thirst
for
the
Lord
,
and
he
hath
given
me
Power
to
warn
you
of
all
your
iniquities
and
Abominations
,
to
deny
them
,
and
that
which
is
good
to
warn
you
to
follow
;
and
Oh
that
ye
knew
in
this
your
day
the
things
which
belong
to
your
Peace
,
which
now
ye
may
know
,
before
they
be
totally
hid
from
your
eyes
,
and
there
be
no
place
for
Repentance
,
nor
time
of
returning
;
and
this
day
will
come
upon
many
,
and
they
cannot
escape
it
,
who
now
harden
their
hearts
against
the
Way
of
their
own
peace
,
and
even
scorn
to
be
reproved
for
their
Transgression
,
and
such
my
soul
pitties
,
who
are
going
in
the
way
of
destruction
,
and
run
hastily
into
perdition
;
I
have
many
times
been
made
sad
by
reason
of
such
,
when
I
have
measured
the
condion
of
all
People
;
upon
my
bed
,
I
have
pondred
what
abomination
was
in
thee
,
and
what
would
be
the
end
thereof
,
and
I
have
desired
nothing
so
much
,
as
that
I
might
faithfully
warn
thee
,
and
free
my self
,
and
the
Lord
from
the
Blood
of
all
men
;
deep
thoughts
have
been
upon
me
,
concerning
what
the
counsel
of
the
Lord
is
unto
you
all
,
that
I
might
manifest
the
Truth
,
and
discover
the
Abominations
,
and
I
have
not
spared
to
cry
Repentance
unto
Sinners
,
that
Sinners
might
be
converted
,
and
turn
unto
the
Lord
;
and
thus
far
I
am
clear
of
the
Blood
of
all
men
,
and
the
Lord
is
clear
,
and
if
the
Wicked
perish
,
it
is
because
of
their
unbelief
,
and
gainsaying
of
the
Lord
;
and
this
is
the
Testimony
which
I
give
unto
thee
,
and
unto
all
thy
people
,
O
LONDON
hearken
and
consider
,
this
is
the
only
day
of
your
Visitation
,
and
there
is
not
another
Way
to
Life
,
nor
to
escape
everlasting
death
,
and
destruction
,
then
that
which
the
Lord
hath
shewed
you
,
Blessed
is
he
that
can
receive
it
,
and
they
that
deny
it
do
utterly
perish
without
Mercy

EDWARD
BURROUGH
.
A
Just
and
Lawful
Tryal
OF
THE
Teachers
and
professed
Ministers
of
this
Age
and
Generation
,
by
a
perfect
proceeding
against
them
.
And
hereby
they
are
righteously
examined
,
and
justly
weighed
,
and
truely
measured
,
and
condemned
out
of
their
own
mouthes
,
and
judged
by
their
own
professed
Rule
,
viz.
The
Scriptures
,
and
thereby
are
proved
to
disagree
,
and
be
contrary
to
all
the
Ministers
of
Christ
in
former
Ages
;
and
to
agree
and
concur
with
all
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
in
their
call
,
in
their
maintenance
,
and
in
their
doctrines
,
and
conversation
,
and
practice
.
And
being
brought
to
the
Bar
of
Justice
,
these
things
are
truly
charged
against
them
,
and
legally
proved
upon
them
,
and
their
own
professed
Rule
(
the
Scriptures
)
have
judged
them
guilty
.
Whereunto
is
added
,
A
short
description
of
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
;
and
of
its
lawfull
and
just
maintenance
,
according
to
the
Apostles
Examples
,
and
now
again
justified
by
the
People
of
God
,
called
Quakers
,
in
England
.
THe
time
of
Tryal
is
come
,
wherein
the
Lord
is
trying
the
Hearts
of
men
;
and
now
it
is
manifest
what
lodgeth
in
the
hearts
of
all
mankind
,
and
by
the
Fruit
every
Tree
shall
be
judged
.
The
Lord
hath
beheld
the
wickedness
of
this
Generation
,
and
it
is
very
great
,
and
cometh
not
short
,
but
rather
abounds
all
other
Generations
that
have
gone
before
:
Wickedness
is
grown
high
among
Teachers
and
People
,
and
the
measure
of
iniquity
is
fulfilling
daily
.
Come
,
let
us
reason
together
;
What
think
you
?
was
there
ever
such
a
Generation
of
Teachers
as
this
is
?
Have
they
any
example
,
that
ever
went
before
,
for
their
Wickedness
?
To
whom
may
they
be
compared
?
or
with
whom
shall
we
parallel
them
?
And
because
they
say
the
Scripture
is
their
Rule
,
therefore
will
we
try
them
by
it
,
and
their
own
Mouth
shall
Condemn
them
;
and
such
they
shall
be
concluded
to
be
,
whose
example
they
do
follow
,
be
it
Ministers
of
Christ
,
or
be
●t
Deceivers
;
unto
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
they
are
compared
,
but
are
found
quite
contrary
in
many
things
,
and
their
Practice
fitly
suteth
and
agrees
with
all
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
And
thus
I
shall
prove
them
,
according
to
Scripture
,
wherein
these
men
that
are
Teachers
do
disagree
to
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
which
he
sent
forth
in
former
Generations
;
and
wherein
they
do
agree
with
the
Deceivers
,
and
Antichrists
,
and
false
Prophets
,
that
have
run
,
and
not
been
sent
.

And
first
of
all
,
The
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
were
made
Ministers
of
Christ
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
by
Power
from
on
high
only
;
and
what
they
ministred
unto
others
,
they
had
freely
received
from
Christ
,
and
had
Handled
,
Felt
,
and
Tasted
of
the
Word
of
LIFE
.
But
the
Teachers
of
this
Generation
do
not
agree
with
them
in
this
;
for
they
are
made
Ministers
by
natural
Learning
,
and
Education
,
and
the
knowledge
of
Arts
,
and
by
the
Ordination
of
men
,
and
by
the
Powers
of
this
World
(
and
not
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
)
and
they
speak
that
whcih
they
have
heard
out
of
Books
,
and
studied
for
by
Arts
,
and
which
they
have
received
from
man
,
and
not
that
which
they
have
received
only
from
the
Lord
.

The
Ministers
of

the
work
of

Ministry
,
and
were
not
of
man
,
neither
by

But
many
of
these
are
approved
of
man
,
and
not
of
God
;
and
called
by
man
,
and
maintained
by
ma●
in
their
Ministry
,
and
herein
do
they
differ
and
disagree
;
for
(
as
I
said
)
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
made
Ministers
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
not
by
natural
learning
,
but
these
are
made
Ministers
by
natural
learning
,
or
otherwise
,
and
not
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
3.
Again
,
herein
do
they
disagree
,
The
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
went
up
〈◊〉
down
through
the
World
,
declaring
the
Word
of
the
Lord
freely
at
any
time
,

the
Market-places

and
in
the
Synagogues
,
and
in
the
Streets
,
and
went
from
Country
to
Country
,
and
were
Strangers
upon
Earth
,
not
having
any
certain
Dwelling-place
,
or
any
great
PARSONAGES
.
But
these
settle
themselves
in
a
certain
place
,
for
so
much
Money
by
the
year
,
and
spend
their
time
in
ease
and
pleasure
,
and
lust
of
the
flesh
,
selling
to
the
People
for
Money
what
they
preach
,
and
herein
they
disagree
;
the
Ministers
of
Christ
preached
freely
as
they
had
received
freely
:
but
the
Ministers
of
this
Age
sell
for
money
what
they
preach
to
the
People
:
and
thus
they
differ
in
their
call
to
the
Ministry
,
and
in
their
practise
in
the
Ministry
,
and
in
their
maintenance
also
,
as
is
made
manifest
to
many
.

But
the
Teachers

contend
against

say
,
every

thus

they

but
these
say
the
Scripture
is
the

and
herein
they
are
contrary
and
shew
by
their
doctrine
another
spirit
then
was
in
the
Apostles
.
Eph.

Again
,
the
Ministers
of
Christ
said
,
they
spake
wisdom
among
them
that
were
perfect
:
and
said
,
As
many
of
us
as
are
perfect
be
thus
minded
:
and
said
,
that
the
end
of
their
Ministry
was
to
present
every
man
perfect
in
Christ
.
But
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
deny
Perfection
,
and
say
,
None
must
be
perfect
in
this
life
;
and
if
any

up
Perfection
,
that
it
is
to
be
attained
,
they
say
it
is
Error
,
and
damnable
Doctrine
;
Nay
,
they
say
,
none
shall
ever
be
free
from
sin
,
or
ever
have
victory
over
their
sin
,
nor
overcome
the
body
of
sin
while
they
be
upon
Earth
:
But
the
Ministers
of
Christ
witnessed
they
were
more
then
Conquerers
,
and
that
they
had
put

off
the
body
of
Death
,
and
were
free
from
sin
,
and
were
the
Servants
of
Righteousness
.
And
herein
also
they
differ
,
and
are
not
of
one
spirit
;
and
we
know
that
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
held
forth
these
Doctrines
;
●nd
we
know
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
that
their
spirit
must
needs
be
of
the
Devil
,
because
it
holds
forth
and
practiseth
what
the
Ministers
of
Christ
did
not
,
but
the
contrary
.
8.
Again
,
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
persecuted
,
and
suffered

things
for
Righteousness
sake
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Acts
,
and
did
not
render
evil
for
evil
to
any
man
,
for
they
suffered
patiently
.
But
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
are
not
persecuted
,
but
are
Persecutors
,
and
cause
Men
to
be
put
into
PRISONS
,
●nd
to
be
Banished
out
of
Towns
;
and
Sue
People
at
Law
,
and
seeks
occasion
against
the
People
of
God
;
and
herein
they
disagree
,
and
are
not
of
the
same
spirit
as
they
were
,
which
were
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
shew
a
spirit
contrary
.
9.
Again
,
the
Ministers
and
Apostles
of

were

the
Gospel
without
charge
,
and
free
,
and
laboured
with
their
own
hands
,
and
did
not
live
●dlely
,
but
were
often
in
cold
,
hunger
,
and
nakedness
,
and
perils
,
and
tryals
.
But
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
live
in
Pride
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
Fulness
,
and
do
not
work
with
their
own
hands
,
but
makes
the
Gospel
of
Christ
chargeable
,
for
many
Hundred
Thousand
Pounds
in
a
Year
doe
but
maintain
them
,
which
they
have
●ut
of
poor
mens
labours
,
and
so
these
differ
and
disagree
from
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
shew
they
are
not
of
that
Spirit
that
they
were
guided
by
,
but
are
guided
by
a
contrary
spirit
,
because
they
are
contrary
in
their
Call
,
and
in
their
Doctrine
,
and
Practice
,
and
Maintenance
.
10.
Again
,
the

Spirit
gave
them
Utterance
,
and
sometimes
continued
preaching
till
midnight
.
But
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
are
limited
by
a
Glass
,
and
Preach
by
a
GLASS
,
and
when
their
Hour
is
out
,
their
time
of
preaching
is
ended
;
and
that
which
they

studied
for
before-hand
,
that
they
preach

and
not
that
which
they
have

immediatly

of

And
herein
do
they
disagree
,
and
in
many
things
more
,
which
after
may
be
declared
.

they
brought

after

they
said
they
needed
no

but
as

But
the
Teachers
of
this

follows
their

〈◊〉

the
wills
of
men
;
if
men

they

they

not

but
went

in

neither

that
so
they

And
in

shew

of

And
herein
they
〈◊〉
gree
,
for
the
Apostles
were
often
in
Cold

Hunger
,
and
great
Sufferings
,
and
〈◊〉
plexities
;
but
these
are
as

,
the

of
all
people

and
the
〈◊〉
Covetous
of
any
men
,
and
all
men
must
Bow

call

which
is
quite
contrary
to
Christs
Command
.
And
thus
they
shew
another
〈◊〉
then
what
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
guided
by
;
and
if
another
spirit
,
it
〈◊〉
needs
be
the

for
either
the

〈◊〉
spirit

And
now
seeing
that
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
bring
forth
fruits
contrary
to
〈◊〉
Ministers
of
Christ
,
it
shews
that
they
are
not
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
cause
in
their
Calling
,
in
their
Ministry
,
in
their

,
in
their
Life
〈◊〉
Conversation
,
and
in
their
Doctrine
they
are
not
the
same
,
but
quite
contrary
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
:
What
can
we
conclude
of
them
?
We
have
〈◊〉
eluded
already
that
such
are
Deceivers
,
whose
works
are
of
another
nature
,
〈◊〉
who
are
guided
by
another
spirit
then
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
;
for
C●…
saith
,
Every
Tree
is
known
by
its
Fruits
;
and
this
is
sufficient
what
I
have
said
,
〈◊〉
if
need
require
,
it
may
further
be
made
to
appear
in
the
sight
of
the
whole
Wo●…
and
sufficiently
proved
,
that
they
differ
in
all
these
things
mentioned
,
and
many
more
,
and
are
not
one
with
the
Apostles
,
neither
in
Call
,
nor
Practice
,
〈◊〉
Maintenance
,
nor
in
Doctrine
,
nor
in
Conversation
,
nor
any
other
thing
,
〈◊〉
do
disagree
,
and
are
quite
contrary
so
as
it
is
concluded
,
these
are
not
the
Mi●…sters
of
Christ
,
though
they
profess
themselves
to
be
so
,
because
they
bring
forth
fruits
quite
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
,
which
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
did
,
and
doth
reprove
;
And
seeing
they
are
not
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
,
because
their
fruits
are
contrary
to
it
,
then
must
they
needs
be
guided
by
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
so
are
the
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
and
do
his
works
by
his
spirit
.
And
further
,
I
shall
shew
wherein
they
do
agree
with
the
false
Prophets
and
false
Apostles
,
and
wherein
they
are
like
unto
them
in
their
Ministry
,
and
Practice
,
and
Doctrine
,
and
Conversation
;
and
if
the
Marks
of
Deceivers
fall
upon
them
in
the
sight
of
all
people
,
why
should
they
not
bear
it
?
And
if
the
same
works
be
proved
to
be
acted
by
them
,
which
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
acted
,
then
why
should
●t
be
thought
a
thing
incredible
among
men
that
these
are
Deceivers
?

First
,
the

,
and
were
not

and
they
did
not
profit

Chap.
all
,
for
they
stood
not
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
so
they
turned
not
any
from
their
iniquity
,
b●t
rather
strengthened
the
Hands
of
the
Evil-doers
,
so
that
none
could
turn
from
their
wicke●…ess
;
and
they
spoke
a
Vision
of
their
own
hearts
,
and
not
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
;
and
they
said
still
to
the
wicked
,
The
Lord
hath
said
,
ye
shall
have
Peace
;
and
to
every
one
that
walked
after
the
Imaginations
of
his
own
heart
,
they
cryed
,
No
Evil
shall
come
upon
him
;
and
the
Priests
and
the
Prophets
were
prophane
,
as
you
may
read
,
Ier.
23.
And
this
is
a
fit
parallel
for
the
Teachers
of
this
Generation
,
they
can
shew
no
Call
from
God
,
nor
by
his
Spirit
,
neither
are
People
profited
by
them
,
as
experience
doth
shew
and
teach
through
this
Nation
;
and
they
do
cry
Peace
to
the
wicked
,
and
count
all
Christians
,
and
followers
of
Christ
,
that
are
but
sprinkled
when
they
are
Infants
,
though
they
live
in
wickedness
;
and
from
them
,
as
from
the
Prophets
of
Israel
,
is
prophaneness
gone
forth
into
many
Nations
,
and
a
wicked
example
of
evil
these
give
to
all
Nations
;
neither
do
these
speak
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
,
but
a
Vision
of
their
own
heart
,
and
what
old
Authours
say
,
and
at
the
best
,
but
what
the
Saints
of
the
Lord
said
before
them
,
and
this
is
no
more
,
as
done
by
them
,
then
●●e●ling
of
the
Prophets
words
,
or
the
word
from
their
Neighbour
.
Again
,
you
may
read
how
the
false
Prophets
used
their
Tongues
,
and
said
,
The
Lord
saith
it
,
when
t●●
L●rd

never
spoken
to

,
but
only
what
they
had
stole

who
were
the
Prophets

the

;
and
this
is
a
fit
example
to
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
and
a
tr●e
p●rallel
between
them
;
for
these
dare
not
own
that
ever
they
heard
the
voice
of
the
lord
immediately
,
nor
that
they
spoke
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
immed●…ly
,
but
use
their
Tongues
,
and
say
,
The
Lord
said
so
by
such
a
Prophet
,
when
〈◊〉
themselves
have
not
received
the

from

the

did

as
the
Teachers
of

Age
do
,
as
it
is
manifest
,
and
the
Lord
is
against
them

And
herein
do
they
agree
,
and
concur
with
the
false
Prophets
in
their
Call

are
in
concord
wi●h
the
Deceivers

Again
,
the
false
Prophets
,
and
blind
Watch-men
of
Israel
,
they
were
ignorant
,
〈◊〉
they
were
greedy
dumb
Dogs
,
that
never

have
enough
,
and
they
looked
to
their
own
〈◊〉
,
and
every
one
sought
for
his
gain
from
their
Quarter
,
and
they
were
drinkers
of

,

strong

,
and
boasted
that

And
this
is
〈◊〉
●it
parallel
with
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
;
for
they
are
blind
Watch-men
,
and
do
not
discover
to
People
the
wickedness
of
their
wayes
,
and
no
less
can
be
said
of
t●●m
,
then
that
they
are
greedy
dumb
Dogs
;
for
they
all
look
to
their
own
way
,
and
every
one
of
them
hath
a
Quarter
(
a
TOWN
or
a
PARISH

from
which
they
seek
their
Gain
;
and
some
of
them
are
Lovers
of
Wine
and
strong
Drink
,
as
daily
experiences
witness
.
And
herein
the
Teachers
of

proved
to
succeed
the
false

in
the

works
,
and
shew
they
are
〈◊〉
by

,
because
they
so
fitly
agree

concur
in
their

plain

t●…e

they

〈◊〉
they

Deceivers
of

,
and
follow
them
as
an
example
,
shewing
that
they
walk
by
the
very
same
spirit
.
4.
Again
,
the
false
Shepherds
of
Israel
were
like
Foxes
in
the
desarts
,
for
they
followed
their
own
spirits
,
and
had
seen
nothing
but
lying
Divinations
,
saying
,
the
Lord
said
,
when
the
Lord
had
not
sent
them
;
and
they
seduced
the
People
,
saying
,
Peace
,
and
there
was
no
peace
to
them
from
God
;
and
one
builded
a
Wall
,
and
another
daubed
it
with
untempered
Morter
;
and
with
Lyes
the
Heart
of
the
Righteous
they
made
sad
,
whom
Ezek.
13.
the
Lord
had
not
made
sad
,
and
strengthned
the
hands
of
the
wicked
(
that
he
should
not
return
from
his
wicked
way
)
by
promising
him
life
.
And
this
is
a
fit
parallel
to
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
for
they
follow
their
own
spirits
,
because
they
do
things
contrary
to
the
spirit
of
Jesus
;
and
they
have
seen
nothing
but
lying
vanities
,
and
divinations
,
whereby
they
do
seduce
the
People
,
by
telling
them
they
are
Christians
,
and
that
they
are
Baptized
into
the
FAITH
of
Christ
,
and
that
they
have
the
Seal
of
the
remission
of
sins
,
by
being
sprinkled
with
water
when
they
were
Infants
;
and
these
are
lying
Divinations
by
which
they
seduce
people
,
and
say
they
shall
have
peace
while
they
still
continue
in
sin
;
and
thus
they
build
a
Wall
,
and
daub
it
with
untempered
Morter
;
and
make
a
Christian
of
their
own
,
and
〈◊〉
him
with
false
hopes
,
and
with
such
Lyes
as
these
,
and
many
other
which
they
declare
for
doctrine
,
the
heart
of
the
Righteous
is
made
sad
at
this
day
,
and
the
hands
of
the
wicked
is
strengthned
,
that
he
cannot
turn
from
his
wicked
way
;
for
life
is
promised
to
him
,
though
he
be
wicked
,
and
ungodly
,
living
in
all
unrighteousness
;
for
they
tell
him
Christ
is
his
righteousness
to
justifie
him
,
and
then
he
thinks
he
need
not
to
turn
from
his
sins
;
and
so
their
hands
are
strengthned
,
that
they
cannot
turn
from
their
sins
.
And
herein
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
and
false
Prophets
do
fully
agree
,
and
are
so
like
one
to
the
other
,
as
Children
of
one
Father
,
and
their
works
are
so
alike
,
as
crafts-men
of
one
Science
;
and
thus
they
are
one
in
union
,
and
follows
the
same
spirit
.

they

N●●
this
is
a
fit

with
the
practise

of

for
〈◊〉
eat
the

they

And
if

the
true

,
they
seek
to
kill

to

〈◊〉
causing

neither

,

at
the

the

,
such
they
cry

are
deceived
,
and
mock
at
them
;
and
the
Image
of
God
,
which
hath
been
driven
away
&
lost
,
they
have
not
sought
in
People
,
but
with
cruelty
〈◊〉
they
ruled
among

by
running
to
Magistrates
,
and
causing
such
to
be
put
〈◊〉

,
that
would
not
help
to
maintain
them
;
and
thus
with
cruelty
do
〈◊〉
rule
among
People
,
as
it
is
witnessed
by
many
Testimonies
in
England
;
and
the
people
are
scattered
,
and
wandred
into
many
Sects
,
and
false
Judgments

they

even
eat
up

so
that
none
that
follow
them
can
drink
of

Waters
,
nor
eat
of
the
Bread
of
Life
;
and
they
thrust
with
side

and
with
shoulder
and
push
all
the
diseased
which
are
wounded
,
because
of
their
sin
,
who
is
ready
to
die
for
want
of
the
Bread
of
life
,
which
denies
and
are
weary
of
their
abominations
;
these
they
push
at
with
their
horns
,
and
causeth
to
be
persecuted
;
and
thus
they
fitly
agree
with
the
false
Shepherds
of
Israel
,
and
is
no
whit
wanting
in
any
thing
wherein
they
were
guilty
,
but
rather
abounding
;
which
sheweth
that
they
follow
the
same
spirit
,
and
are
of
the
same
stock
,
and
seed
,
and
the
Lord
is
against
these
,
as
he
was
against
them
in
old
time
;
and
no
more
are
these
Ministers

Christ
that
acts
these
things

then
they
were
which
acted
the

things

all
that
shuts
not

they
prepare
War
against
them
,
as
you
may
read
Micah
3.
now
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
brings
forth
the
very
same
;
for
they
cry
peace
unto
all
that
puts
into
their
mouths
,
though
people
be
never
so
ungodly
;
if
they
will
maintain
them
,
they
cry
peace
to
them
,
but
if
people
put
not
into
their
mouths
,
they
prepare
war
against
them
,
by
suing
them
at
the
Law
,
and
casting
them
into
Prison
,
if
any
deny
to
pay
them
Tythes
,
or
Money
,
though
they
have
no
due
to
it
by
the
Law
of
Christ
,
such
do
prepare
open
war
against
them
,
by
distraining
their
Goods
,
and
taking
treble
damages
,
and
casting
their
bodies
into
bonds
;
and
herein
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
agrees
with
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
;
can
any
man
be
so
blind
that
doth
not
see
it
?
doth
any
man
stop
their
ear
,
so
as
that
they
cannot
hear
this
to
be
true
?
they
shew
themselves
in
all
things
to
be
one
with
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
,
when
justly
they
are
tried
by
their
own
Rule
,
as
they
say
,
and
so
let
them
bear
this
judgement
,
which
their
own
professed
Rule
judgeth
with
.
7.
Again

the

is

the

murders

with
consent

for
they
commit
lewdness

And
what
less
may
be
spoken
of
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
Spiritual
men
shall
judge
;
for
if
any
man
doth
but
cease
from
their
abominable
worship
,
their
deceitful
worship
,
and
Idolatry
,
and
come
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
they
even
seek
to
murder
in
the
way
,
and
cry
out
against
them
for
being
deluded
,
and
deceived
,
and
such
like
;
so
that
like
as
Troops
of
Robbers
wait
for
a
man
,
so
it
may
be
said
of
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
for
they
take
away
the
Key
of
Knowledge
,
and
will
not
enter
in
themselves
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
nor
suffer
them
that
would
,
and
indeed
,
whatsoever
abomination
the
Teachers
and
Prophets
of
Israel
were
found
guilty
of
,
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
do
not
come
short
,
but
rather
abound
,
let
search
be
made
through
the
Scriptures
,
and
see
,
whether
there
was
any
evil
committed
by
them
,
I
mean
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
,
that
is
not
committed
by
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
;
what
were
they
guilty
of
,
that
these
can
free
themselves
from
?
If
any
man
hath
a
word
to
say
,
let
us
hear
it
,
and
come
out
with
your
Arguments
ye
wise
men
,
and
let
us
hear
your
Plea
;
and
they
doing
the
same
works
which
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
did
,
must
needs
●e
concluded
to
be
Followers
of
the
same
spirit
,
and
that
they
are
no
less
then
they
were
,
whose
examples
they
follow
,
which
are
followers
or
the
false

forth

making
them
suffer
grievous

these
are
grievous

which
they
lay
upon

,

they
will
not
touch
them
with
one
of

and
their

are
done
to
be

for
they
think
to
be
heard
for
their
much
babling
;

we
know
they
love
the
uppermost

hath
it
often

they

which
Christ
forbids
his
Ministers
to
be

they
love
that
,
and
they
have
it

And
herein
do
they
agree
with
the

in
other
things

if
we
should

examine

and
cruel
sufferings
.
And
this
was
done
chiefly
by
,
or
through
,
〈◊〉
complaint
of
the
Priests
.
It
was
Amaziah
the
Kings
Priest
that
complained
to
Jeroboam
,
and
informed
against
the
poor
Prophet
Amos
;
and
it
was
Shimshia
the
Scribe
,
that
complained
to
the
King
against
the
building
of
the
City
of
God
;
and
it
was
the
son
of
the
Pri●●●
Amos

that
persecuted
Jeremiah
.
And
herein
also
the
Teachers
of
this
Generation
〈◊〉
agree
and
concord
with
the
chief
Priests
,
with
,
and
in
persecuting
the
innocent

shewing
that
they
are
of
the
same
spirit
;
for
now
they
complain
and
inform
against
the
People
of
God
,
and
through
their
information
evil
is
done
against
them
;
〈◊〉
it
is
they
through
their
lying
,
and
false
accusations
to
the
Magistrates
by
whom
〈◊〉
Saints
do
suffer
;
and
in
all
these
things
they
do
fully
agree
,
and
concur
with
t●●
Deceivers
of
old
.

Again
,
the
false
Apostles
,
they
were
such
as
went
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
th●…
covetousness
,
with
feigned
words
,
made
merchandize
of
souls
,
and
denied
the
Lord
〈◊〉
bought
them
,
and
brought
in
damnable
Heresies
,
and
they
walked
after
the
flesh
,
in
the
〈◊〉

and
uncleanness
,
and
despised
Government
,
and
were
presumptuous
,
and
self-willed
,
〈◊〉
sported
themselves
with
their
own
deceivings
,
and
they
could
not
cease
from
sin
,
but
b●…
unstable
souls
,
and
an
heart
they
had
exercised
in
covetous
practises
,
and
they
went
astr●●
,
●●ving
the
way
of
Balaam
,
loving
the
Wages
of
unrighteousness
;
and
they
were
Wells
〈◊〉
Water
,
and
were
Clouds
that
are
carried
with
a
Tempest
;
they
speak
great
swelling
words
of
●…nity
,
and
allured
through
the
lust
of
the
flesh
,
through
much
wantonness
,
those
who
were
es●…
from
them
,
who
lived
in
Error
,
and
they
promised
others
liberty
,
and
themselves
way
〈◊〉
Servants
of
corruption
.
Now
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
are
found
guilty
of
,
〈◊〉
in
all
these
things
they
agree
,
which
the
false
Apostles
were
guilty
of
;
for
〈◊〉
through
covetousness
,
with
feigned
words
,
do
make
merchandize
of
the
people
;
any
will
give
them
more
money
at
the
next
Town
,
they
will
sell
the
People
〈◊〉
they
are
and
go
where
there
is
more
MONEY
;
and
seeing
they
are
out
of
〈◊〉
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
it
is
no
less
then
denying
the
Lord
that
bought
them
.
And
that
they
hold
damnable
Errors
,
this
I
can
pove
;
For
[
](A30510-e32500-b)*
*
At
Reding
.
one
of
〈◊〉
said
in
my
hearing
,
That
the
Scripture
was
the
Foundation
of
Foundation
And
[
](A30510-e32520-b)*
*
At
Ware
.
another
said
,
That
the
Scripture
was
both
the
Writings
and
the
thing
s●●nified
.
And
these
are
as
damnable
Errors
as
ever
the
false
Apostles
brought
〈◊〉
and
these
,
they
walk
after
the
lust
of
the
flesh
,
in
Pride
and
fulness
thereof
,
〈◊〉
despise
the
Government
of
Christ
,
and
are
presumptuous
,
self-willed
,
lofty
,
〈◊〉
spirited
men
;
and
as
the
false
Apostles
did
,
so
do
these
speak
evil
of
things
〈◊〉
know
not
,
of
things
they
understand
not
;
and
no
less
can
be
said
of
these
,
〈◊〉
that
they
sport
themselves
with
their
own
deceivings
,
and
they
cannot
cease
fr●●
sin
themselves
;
for
it
is
a
principal
doctrine
among
them
,
That
none
must
be
〈◊〉
from
sin
while
they
be
upon
Earth
;
and
they
deceive
unstable
souls
,
who
th●…
them
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
when
as
they
were
never
sent
of
Christ
;
and
it
〈◊〉
evident
,
that
their
hearts
are
exercised
with
covetous
practises
,
who
sue
poor
P●●ple
at
Law
,
some
for
Twelve
Pence
,
which
they
are
more
able
to
give
to
,
〈◊〉
they
whom
they
sue
to
receive
from
;
and
they
follow
the
Error
of
Bal●…
and
run
after
him
greedily
,
who
went
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
as
do
these
,
〈◊〉
have
unrighteous
Wages
,
cause
people
to
pay
them
money
,
for
whom
they
do
not
work
,
and
this
is
unrighteous
Wages
;
these
are
Wells
without
Water
,
and
Clouds
without
Rain
;
they
make
a
shew
of
Godliness
and
Righteousness
,
when
as
they
are
prophane
and
unrighteous
,
and
they
speak
great
swelling
words
of
vanity
,
professing
themselves
to
be
Orthodox
,
Divines
,
and
such
like
,
which
are
no
more
but
words
of
vanity
without
Truth
;
and
they
seek
to
allure
all
people
to
follow
them
in
their
way
of
Idol
Worships
,
and
so
they
are
deceived
and
deceiving
;
and
while
they
promise
liberty
to
others
,
by
Christ
,
from
sin
,
when
they
are
dead
,
themselves
are
the
Servants
of
corruption
,
and
live
in
sin
to
this
day
,
and
in
all
things
which
the
false
Apostles
were
guilty
of
;
these
come
not
behind
,
but
these
do
shew
by
their
works
,
that
they
are
guided
by
the
same
spirit
,
which
was
in
the
Deceivers
of
old
,
and
so
they
agree
and
concur
one
with
another
in
unrighteousness
.
Again
,
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
which
were
come
,
and
coming
in
the
dayes
of
Iohn
,
they
were
of
the
World
,
and
the
World
heard
them
:
And
they
were
them
which
Christ
prophesied
of
,
should
come
into
the
World
,
which
should
deceive
many
;
and
such
were
they
which
the
Apostle
saw
coming

he
said
,
after
his
dayes
greivous
Wolves
should
come
in
,
which
should
not
spare
the
Flock
,
such
as
were
departed
from
the
FAITH
,
and
spake
Lyes
in
Hypocrisie
,
having
their
Consciences
s●●●ed
with
a
hot
Iron
;
and
such
were
they
,
Covetous
,
Boasters
,
proud
Blasphemers
Unthankful
,
Unholy
,
without
natural
Affection
,
Truce-breakers
,
false
Accusers
,
Incontinent
,
fierce
,
Despisers
of
those
things
which
were
good
;
Traytors
,
Heady
,
High-minded
,
Lovers
of
Pleasure
more
then
Lovers
of
God
;
they
have
the
form
of
Godliness
,
but
deny
the
Power
therereof
;
and
People
by
them
were
ever
learning
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
;
of
this
sort
the
Apostle
saw
was
coming
,
and
would
come
more
fully
,
and
such
are
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
;
for
they
are
of
the
World
,
living
in
Pride
,
and
the
Wickedness
of
it
;
and
the
World
hears
them
,
such
as
themselves
,
proud
and
wicked
People
;
for
they
that
fear
God
,
and
walk
in
his
Wayes
,
are
departed
from
many
of
them
;
and
they
shew
that
they
have
no
Faith
,
but
are
departed
from
it
;
for
FAITH
keeps
from
evil
,
from
the
wayes
of
sin
and
death
,
which
they
live
in
;
and
Lyes
in
aboundance
they
speak
,
in
hypocrisie
;
and
their
Consciences
are
seared
,
that
is
plain
,
else
they
could
not
do
as
many
of
them
do
,
who
cause
inno●ent
People
to
be
put
in
prison
,
and
make
havock
of
their
Goods
,
who
will
not
pay
them
Tythes
,
or
maintain
them
;
and
they
are
the
proudest
of
men
,
and
as
Covetous
as
any
,
and
Unthankful
,
and
Unholy
they
shew
themselves
to
be
,
and
they
are
false
Accusers
,
and
Truce-breakers
,
for
they
hardly
make
any
Conscience
of
belying
the
People
of
God
in
the
Pulpits
,
or
to
the
Magistrates
;
and
they
are
Heady
,
High-minded
;
and
if
some
of
them
be
not
Treacherous
,
judge
ye
,
who
have
turned
divers
wayes
in
their
judgments
,
according
to
the
times
;
and
they
have
a
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
not
the
Power
;
pray
and
sing
in
a
form
,
and
preach
in
a
form
and
method
;
and
people
are
ever
learning
by
them
,
sixty
Years
,
or
more
,
or
less
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
but
dye
in
ignorance
and
blindness
,
without
knowledge
,
under
them
.
And
herein
do
they
agree
also
with
the
false
Prophet
and
Antichrist
,
which
Iohn
saw
to
be
come
in
,
and
such
as
the
Apostle
saw
,
which
were
then
coming
in
;
and
they
shew
the
very
same
spirit
,
by
the
same
works
,
and
the
same
fruits
which
appear
from
them
;
men
of
understanding
may
compare
them
in
all
these
things
.
They
do
agree
,
and
appear
to
be
of
that
very
Stock
and
Generation
which
the
Apostle
prophesied
of
,
for
they
were
grievous
Wolves
,
which
should
not
spare
the
Flock
,
which
the
Apostle
saw
;
and
these
do
not
spare
the
FLOCK
,
but
even
devour
them
,
and
no
less
then
grivous
Wolves
can
they
be
said
to
be
;
For
if
a
poor
Woman
hath
but
ten
EGGES
in
all
the
World
,
they
will
have
one
,
in
many
parts
of
this
Nation
;
or
but
ten
Chickens
,
they
will
have
one
;
or
but
a
Fire
in
their
House
,
they
will
have
a
Penny
for
the
Smoak
,
and
such
like
wolvish
,
devouring
wayes
;
and
if
these
be
not
grievous
Wolves
,
let
all
the
World
judge
.
And
here
is
their
Treachery
made
manifest
,
while
they
say
they
preach
the
Gospel
in
love
to
souls
,
yet
its
manifest
they
preach
for
love
of
Money
,
for
few
,
or
none
of
them
preach
where
there
is
no
money
;
and
People
are
absolute
blind
,
that
do
not
see
them
,
for
in
all
things
they
agree
with
the
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
of
old
,
and
shew
that
they
be
of
the
very
same
spirit
;
and
thus
you
see
their
own
Rule
condemns
them
;
and
because
they
say
the
Scripture
is
their
Rule
,
therefore
I
have
thought
good
to
lay
them
to
it
,
and
measure
them
by
their
own
Line
;
and
all
People
may
see
wherein
they
are
quite
contrary
to
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
wherein
they
wholly
agre●
with
the
Deceivers
;
Let
them
hide
themselves
from
this
blow
if
they
can
,
and
let
them
bring
their
Arguments
against
this
sentence
,
and
let
all
their
Friends
appear
for
them
,
and
see
if
they
can
reverse
this
judgment
,
which
their
own
line
hath
judged
them
by
,
let
them
bring
in
their
Plea
,
and
defend
themselves
from
this
,
if
it
be
possible
;
for
in
those
things
which
I
have
▪
named
,
and
many
other
,
it
is
manifest
,
that
they
fully
agree
with
the
Deceivers
,
and
disagree
with
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
by
their
fruits
they
are
perfectly
made
manifest
.
Again
,
Christ
spake
in
his
dayes
,
and
the
Apostles
in
their
dayes
,
that
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
should
come
into
the
world
,
and
after
them
;
and
they
gave
descriptions
what
such
they
should
be
,
and
what
fruits
they
should
bring
forth
,
as
I
have
before
mentioned
in
that
1
Iohn
2.
and
it
is
plain
that
these
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
did
come
in
,
according
as
was
prophesied
;
for
Iohn
said
,
By
this
we
know
it
is
the
last
times
,
for
now
are
they
come
,
which
was
many
hundred
years
ago
:
I
say
,
the
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
which
Christ
prophesied
of
to
come
,
Matth.
24.
came
into
the
World
many
hundred
years
ago
,
as
you
may
read
1
Iohn
2.
And
with
this
I
shall
conclude
this
particular
.
The
Teachers
of
this
Age
,
by
their
●ruits
,
are
proved
already
to
be
of
that
stock
,
and
succeeders
in
the
same
works
,
by
the
same
spirit
of
them
which
Christ
said
should
come
,
and
which
the
Apostle
saw
was
then
come
,
and
so
they
did
deceive
many
,
as
these
do
deceive
many
in
the
same
way
,
as
them
that
went
before
them
;
And
so
let
it
not
be
a
thing
incredible
to
the
people
of
these
Nations
,
that
many
of
these
Teachers
,
which
are
called
Ministers
,
are
Deceivers
generally
,
b●●
if
there
be
any
one
that
●ears
God
among
them
,
or
loves
Truth
and
Sincerity
▪
it
will
be
made
manifest
,
and
such
I
spare
,
and
they
shall
be
spared
in
the
day
〈◊〉
the
Lord
;
but
yet
I
say
,
generally
,
and
the
main
part
of
them
,
even
they
〈◊〉
bring
forth
these
fruits
before
mentioned
,
which
the
false
Prophets
brought
forth
▪
are
not
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
Deceivers
,
the
Scripture
,
their
own
professed
Rule
,
doth
prove
them
so
;
for
it
must
needs
be
that
they
must
be
the
same
men
that
they
were
,
whose
spirit
they
walk
by
,
and
whose
fruits
they
bring
forth
▪
and
this
cannot
be
avoided
,
they
are
the
same
trees
that
brings
forth
the
same
fruits
;
and
let
no
man
blame
me
for
saying
such
are
Deceivers
that
preach
for
hire
,
and
divine
for
money
,
and
goes
for
gi●ts
and
rewards
;
and
that
are
called
o●
men
Master
,
and
have
the
chief
place
in
the
Assemblies
,
and
are
covetous
,
and
high-minded
,
and
seeks
for
their
gain
from
their
Quarter
,
with
those
things
which
I
have
mentioned
,
which
are
the
same
things
which
the
false
Prophets
acted
in
Ages
past
;
I
am
not
now
to
be
blamed
for
saying
,
These
are
Deceivers
,
who
are
acting
such
things
now
in
this
Age
,
as
they
acted
then
that
were
Deceivers
;
but
if
you
blame
any
,
begin
with
Isaiah
,
and
Micah
,
and
Ezekiel
,
and
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
the
rest
of
the
holy
men
of
God
,
for
they
are
my
examples
in
this
,
who
did
declare
against
them
that
brought
forth
such
works
,
as
these
do
that
I
have
declared
against
:
and
I
have
done
the
Teachers
of
this
Age
no
wrong
for
judging
them
by
their
own
Line
,
and
laying
them
to
their
own
professed
Rule
;
therefore
do
not
rage
at
me
,
nor
do
not
be
offended
a●
this
;
for
I
have
but
compared
them
with
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
with
the
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
and
shewed
wherein
they
do
agree
to
the
one
,
and
disagree
to
the
other
;
and
all
People
may
see
,
and
the
Light
in
all
Consciences
may
judge
of
what
I
have
said
;
so
that
as
I
said
at
the
first
,
I
may
again
say
,
What
think
you
?
Was
there
ever
such
a
Generation
of
Teachers
?
I
now
answer
,
Yea
,
There
was
in
the
dayes
of
the
true
Prophets
,
and
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
there
were
such
as
these
are
,
which
were
Deceivers
;
and
in
the
times
of
Christ
there
were
such
a
Generation
as
these
are
,
who
acted
the
same
things
by
the
same
spirit
,
as
these
do
at
this
day
?
Let
them
reply
to
this
that
will
,
my
Question
is
sober
,
and
my
Answer
is
just
and
right
,
and
I
have
dealt
faithfully
,
and
you
may
read
the
Scriptures
,
that
I
have
quoted
for
your
own
satisfaction
;
for
,
though
they
falsly
say
,
the
Scripture
is
their
Rule
,
and
accuse
us
falsly
,
that
we
deny
the
Scripture
,
yet
the
Scripture
shall
be
Judge
between
us
in
this
matter
;
and
what
I
have
done
is
not
in
envy
to
any
mans
person
,
neither
in
upbraiding
them
in
their
wickedness
,
but
I
do
it
rather
to
shew
them
all
their
iniquities
,
that
they
may
repent
;
and
this
I
have
done
in
perfect
love
to
all
people
,
for
the
Day
is
come
that
hath
brought
hidden
things
to
Light
,
and
Deceit
and
Hypocrisie
which
hath
lain
hid
,
is
now
fully
made
manifest
,
as
at
Noon-day
.
But
again
,
secondly
I
answer
,
In
some
respects
I
do
believe
there
was
never
such
a
Generation
of
Teachers
as
these
are
;
for
we
do
not
read
in
all
the
Scriptures
concerning
the
false
Prophets
,
that
they
were
so
extreamly
covetous
and
greedy
of
gain
as
these
are
,
or
that
ever
they
took
such
desperate
,
wicked
,
unlawful
courses
to
get
their
maintenance
,
and
compel
people
to
pay
them
,
as
these
Teachers
do
,
a
very
shame
to
rehearse
it
,
and
to
their
shame
I
do
rehearse
it
,
many
a
poor
man
in
this
Nation
hath
been
sued
by
them
at
the
LAW
,
and
put
in
PRISON
by
their
means
,
and
had
their
Goods
spoiled
in
a
woful
manner
,
for
to
maintain
them
,
and
to
uphold
them
;
yea
,
some
hundreds
of
poor
people
,
in
this
Nation
,
have
been
dealt
cruelly
by
,
and
unjustly
with
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
have
denied
to
maintain
them
,
to
pay
them
Tythes
,
and
such
like
;
this
may
be
proved
,
that
for
five
Shillings
,
unjustly
claimed
by
them
,
they
have
taken
Goods
by
Distraint
to
the
value
of
five
times
so
much
,
as
Cumberland
and
Westmerland
can
witness
;
and
many
at
this
very
day
lie
in
Holes
and
Prisons
by
the
means
of
the
Priests
,
who
tear
the
People
as
Wolves
do
the
Sheep
;
it
s
even
woful
to
be
considered
what
havock
is
made
of
some
mens
persons
,
and
some
mens
GOODS
,
and
all
to
maintain
the
Teachers
?
The
like
never
was
in
any
Generation
,
as
it
is
brought
forth
in
this
Generation
in
this
particular
:
And
again
,
their
exceeding
covetousness
and
greediness
of
Lucre
doth
appear
,
in
that
they
claim
Wages
of
People
,
and
do
compel
People
to
pay
them
Wages
,
after
this
manner
,
as
I
have
said
,
for
which
people
they
do
no
work
;
neither
do
these
people
receive
any
work
done
by
them
,
with
whom
they
thus
deal
;
What
thing
can
be
more
unjust
under
Heaven
;
that
they
should
compel
people
by
a
Law
to
pay
them
,
and
thus
punish
them
if
they
will
not
,
who
set
them
not
on
work
,
and
for
whom
they
do
no
work
?
neither
do
the
people
like
their
work
,
or
love
it
,
but
know
it
to
be
deceitful
,
and
yet
are
compelled
by
a
Law
to
pay
them
;
they
have
such
a
way
to
get
money
,
that
no
Trades-man
hath
the
like
of
it
besides
themselves
,
for
they
cause
People
,
and
compel
people
to
buy
their
Wares
;
and
they
compel
people
to
pay
for
their
Commodity
,
which
have
none
of
it
,
nor
love
it
,
and
this
is
more
unjust
then
may
be
spoken
:
Are
they
like
Ministers
of
Christ
?
Or
do
they
follow
their
example
in
these
practises
?
What
do
you
judge
?
All
people
bring
in
your
Verdict
;
or
are
they
not
like
Deceivers
herein
,
even
exceeding
all
that
ever
went
before
?
It
is
true
,
They
which
preach
the
Gospel
should
live
on
the
Gospel
;
this
Argument
we
do
own
;
but
let
these
men
be
tryed
,
and
see
if
by
their
preaching
their
Gospel
they
have
gained
so
much
love
in
people
,
as
to
maintain
them
without
the
Law
,
and
without
compelling
of
Maintenance
&
Lively-hood
from
them
by
a
Law
;
let
but
the
Law
cease
to
compel
Tythes
,
and
other
things
from
people
to
maintain
them
,
&
see
whether
their
Gospel
will
maintain
them
or
not
;
let
but
the
Magistrates
hold
up
their
hands
from
causing
people
to
pay
them
Tythes
by
their
orders
&
writs
and
I
'le
undertake
,
as
I
do
believe
they
must
either
beg
,
or
work
,
or
a
worse
thing
for
a
lively-hood
,
or
else
perish
,
so
little
love
is
there
in
their
own
People
towards
them
,
nor
have
they
gained
any
in
the
hearts
of
people
towards
them
,
for
many
years
that
they
have
preached
;
and
herein
again
I
do
believe
that
they
do
exceed
all
the
false
Prophets
,
and
all
the
Deceivers
that
ever
went
before
them
in
this
respect
,
none
ever
had
the
Magistrates
to
act
for
them
as
these
have
,
&
as
it
appears
the
Rulers
some
of
them
,
are
at
the
wills
of
the
Teachers
,
to
do
for
them
what
they
desire
,
either
to
take
Peoples
goods
,
or
to
send
them
to
Prison
;
shewing
that
these
Teac●●●●
have
not
a
spiritual
Weapon
to
defend
themselves
;
but
that
the
Magistrates
wi●●
their
Law
are
their
chiefest
ARMOUR
;
for
if
they
can
but
get
favour
of
〈◊〉
Magistrate
,
they
have
allowance
to
preach
at
such
a
place
,
and
if
they
can
get
the
favour
of
a
Magistrate
they
can
do
well
enough
to
be
maintained
,
by
cau●●●●
such
to
be
sent
to
prison
,
or
taxing
treble
damages
upon
their
Goods
,
if
they
wi●●
not
help
to
maintain
them
;
and
if
they
have
the
favour
of
the
Magistrates
,
if
any
do
reprove
them
for
these
things
,
and
for
others
of
their
wickedness
,
and
if
any
do
but
tell
them
of
it
,
they
can
have
such
sent
to
Prison
,
as
in
revenge
,
as
for
speaking
and
reproving
them
for
their
wickedness
,
hath
some
hundreds
of
innocent
People
suffered
imprisonments
,
and
other
cruel
things
in
these
Nations
;
so
that
iniquity
is
upheld
,
as
it
were
,
by
Force
and
Power
;
so
that
it
is
not
their
Gospel
that
maintains
them
,
nor
gets
them
favour
with
the
people
,
nor
doth
it
defend
them
,
but
it
is
the
command
and
Warrant
of
a
Magistrate
which
doth
all
this
;
so
when
the
Magistrates
cease
to
approve
them
,
to
maintai●
them
,
and
●efend
them
,
they
must
utterly
fall
into
misery
,
and
can
neither
be
approved
▪
maintained
,
or
defended
any
other
way
;
for
,
because
of
this
their
wickedness
,
God
hath
left
them
,
and
all
honest
true
hearted
People
have
left
them
;
and
therefore
,
what
a
condition
are
the
Teachers
in
,
who
deserve
not
the
love
of
me●
because
they
are
so
cruel
hearted
towards
them
,
and
they
deserve
not
the
Love
of
God
,
because
they
are
so
wicked
against
him
?
And
I
might
yet
more
fully
describe
and
declare
,
wherein
they
do
exceed
the
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
of
old
;
but
of
this
,
according
as
the
Lord
moveth
and
leadeth
;
and
this
may
suffice
to
shew
what
they
are
by
their
works
,
and
by
the
spirit
that
leads
them
,
which
appears
not
to
be
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
.
Furthermore
,
and
besides
all
this
,
which
I
have
said
,
herein
they
do
exceed
the
Deceivers
that
are
gone
before
;
for
upon
account
,
the
sum
of
their
Maintenance
yearly
in
these
Nations
,
being
reckoned
,
may
be
about
[

One
Million
and
five

Fifteen
Hundr●●
Thousand
POUNDS
a
Year
:
Oh
wonderful
!
Is
not
this
almost
incredible
,
that
the
Teachers
should
put
the
Nations
to
such
a
charge
as
this
,
and
yet
people
receive
nothing
answerable
to
it
?
But
all
this
Money
is
spent
for
that
which
is
〈◊〉
Bread
,
and
their
labour
wasted
,
and
they
have
no
profit
thereby
:
This
money
might
be
made
better
use
of
,
then
to
give
it
for
deceiving
the
people
:
And
if
any
doubt
of
this
account
,
and
shall
think
this
is
not
like
to
be
true

upon
an

it
may

A
Reply
to
the
Priests
Plea
,
and
an
Answer
to
their
Objections
.
WHereas
many
of
the
Priests
of
ENGLAND
,
to
hide
themselves
fr●●
the
charge
of
being
Hirelings
,
they
alledge
these
Scriptures
,
The
L●bourer
is
worthy
of
his
Hire
,
and
the
Workman
is
worthy
of
his
Meat
:
but
these
Scriptures
will
not
serve
to
cover
their
shame
in
what
is
charged
against
them
;
for
〈◊〉
Luke
10.
7
,
8.
Hire
which
Christ
allows
to
the
Labourers
,
is
but
to
remain
in
the
same
house
into
〈◊〉
they
enter
,
eating
and
drinking
such
things
as
they
give
them
,
with
such
who
were
〈◊〉
they
were
to
remain
,
and
to
eat
that
which
was
set
before
them
;
and
they
labou●●●
truly
,
and
travelled
up
and
down
,
and
were
truly
worthy
of
meat
for
their
work
,
and
of
this
Hire
for
their
Labour
:
But
this
makes
nothing
for
the
lawfulness
of
so
many
pounds
a
year
at
a
certain
place
;
this
is
more
then
eating
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
house
,
which
is
worthy
to
bargain
with
people
for
so
much
the
year
,
and
compelling
people
to
pay
by
a
Law
,
that
do
deny
;
Christ
never
instituted
such
a
practice
,
neither
can
it
be
truly
said
,
that
these
called
Ministers
do
labour
as
the
Ministers
of
Christ
did
,
and
so
this
Scripture
is
but
wrested
by
them
,
when
they
bring
it
for
proof
of
their
practice
for
their
hundred
pounds
a
year
,
compelling
some
of
it
from
the
people
,
doth
exceed
eating
and
drinking
to
suffice
nature
,
with
such
who
are
worthy
;
So
this
Scripture
maketh
not
for
their
turns
,
nor
doth
it
justifie
their
▪
Practises
.
Again
,
they
Object
,
against
our
charge
,
the
words
of
Paul
,
who
said
,
He
that
preacheth
the
Gospel
shall
live
on
the
Gospel
,
and
that
it
was
a
small
matter
to
reap
carnal
things
,
from
them
unto
whom
they
sowed
Spiritual
things
;
but
this
Scripture
makes
not
for
them
;
for
as
I
said
,
it
s
not
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
that
maintains
them
,
but
the
Magistrates
with
their
Law
,
that
compelleth
Maintenance
from
the
people
,
and
this
is
not
to
live
on
the
Gospel
;
for
we
allow
,
as
Paul
did
,
that
they
which
preach
the
GOSPEL
should
live
on
the
Gospel
;
Therefore
let
the
Magistrates
cease
,
with
their
Power
,
to
cause
people
to
pay
them
,
and
let
all
the
World
see
if
their
Gospel
will
maintain
them
;
and
let
them
reap
their
carnal
things
from
them
where
they
sow
spiritual
;
but
they
must
reap
as
a
free
Gift
too
,
and
not
by
compulsion
,
for
so
the
Apostle
signifies
,
it
is
a
small
matter
for
any
to
reap
carnal
things
where
they
sow
spiritual
things
;
yet
what
is
this
to
prove
the
lawfulness
of
bargaining
with
people
for
so
much
by
the
YEAR
,
as
these
Teachers
of
ENGLAND
do
,
many
of
them
,
and
will
not
preach
except
they
have
so
much
promised
them
before
?
For
it
is
right
to
reap
after
sowing
,
but
it
is
a
transgression
to
bargain
to
reap
before
they
sow
;
and
these
Scriptures
will
not
hide
them
,
nor
defend
them
in
their
practice
;
for
if
the
Magistrates
did
not
compel
from
people
Maintenance
by
a
Law
,
the
Priests
of
this
Age
would
reap
but
little
from
any
thing
that
they
sow
;
for
there
's
little
love
in
the
hearts
of
the
people
towards
them
.
Also
they
Object
,
He
that
plants
a
Vineyard
may
eat
of
the
fruit
thereof
;
and
he
that
keeps
a
Flock
,
may
eat
of
the
Milk
of
the
Flock
,
this
Paul
said
,
though
he
would
not
make
use
of
his
power
herein
,
but
wrought
with
his
hands
,
that
the
Gospel
might
not
be
chargeable
;
but
what
Vineyards
have
the
Teachers
of
England
planted
?
or
what
Flocks
do
they
keep
?
Their
Vineyards
prove
not
tender
Grapes
;
but
wild
●ower
Grapes
;
wild
Vines
,
and
not
Vines
to
bring
forth
acceptable
fruits
;
and
their
Flocks
prove
not
Flocks
of
sheep
;
but
wilde
rude
people
who
are
in
the
nature
of
Wolves
and
Lions
;
and
if
the
Magistrates
Law
were
not
,
their
Vineyard
no●
the
flock
would
hardly
yield
them
any
maintenance
;
the
Apostles
planted
first
a
Vineyard
,
and
gathered
the
●●heep
,
before
they
reaped
or
eat
any
of
the
fruit
,
but
the
Teachers
of
England
differ
from
them
in
this
,
for
they
know
what
they
must
have
before
they
plant
,
or
before
they
feed
their
flock
,
and
differ
from
the
Apostles
practice
,
who
first
planted
a
Vineyard
,
and
gathered
a
flock
before
they
could
receive
any
crop
;
and
they
would
〈◊〉
then
use
their
power
,
but
kept
the
Gospel
of
Christ
without
charge
,
so
that
this
Scripture
will
not
prove
the
Priests
actions
lawful
,
in
preaching
for
sums
of
money
:
●nd
some
other
Scriptures
they
bring
to
prove
the
lawfulness
of
their
preaching
for
●ire
,
which
may
all
be
answered
as
these
are
,
and
whatsoever
they
can
object
will
●ot
justifie
them
,
for
their
reaping
carnal
things
,
and
their
hire
,
and
their
eating
●f
the
milk
of
the
flock
,
is
quite
of
another
nature
,
as
is
proved
,
then
the
Apostle
●ractices
were
;
and
were
the
people
wi●e
they
would
see
and
understand
these
●hings
,
and
not
be
deluded
through
perverting
of
Scriptures
,
and
through
wresting
of
them
,
to
other
ends
then
wherefore
they
were
given
forth
;
and
this
is
written
●o
answer
some
of
their
objections
,
whereby
they
would
defend
themselves
,
for
●hat
though
Paul
took
of
other
Churches
to
supply
his
necessities
,
as
sometimes
he
did
,
yet
●his
will
not
prove
the
lawfulness
of
their
hundreds
of
pounds
by
the
year
,
most
of
which
they
spend
in
pride
and
idleness
;
so
that
still
this
Judgment
is
true
●pon
them
which
I
have
given
,
all
objections
being
answered
,
and
all
defences
●eing
made
yoid
;
and
hereof
they
are
guilty
,
as
I
have
charged
them
,
and
pro●ed
it
out
of
the
Scripture
:
They
disagree
to
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
agrees
with
the
Deceivers
,
and
in
some
particulars
exceeds
them
,
for
I
believe
all
the
fals●
Prophets
in
Israel
did
not
destroy
any
whit
near
a
Million
and
a
half
of
Money
in
a
year
,
considering
all
things
,
it
must
come
to
little
less
,
their
Funeral
Sermons
,
their
great
Tythes
,
and
small
Tythes
,
and
Marriages
,
and
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
Churching
of
Women
,
with
other
such
Penuries
claimed
by
the
Church
of
England
,
with
what
is
given
to
them
out
of
the
Nations
treasure
,
which
is
many
hundred
pounds
a
year
,
also
considering
how
much
in
a
year
is
spent
,
and
consumed
at
two
or
three
Colledges
in
this
Nation
,
in
relation
to
the
Ministry
;
as
in
bringing
some
up
to
the
attainment
of
the
Ministry
;
(
is
they
call
it
)
and
upon
the
Educators
of
such
,
with
a
very
great
abundance
of
such
like
charges
,
consumed
out
of
the
Nations
treasure
,
which
is
wasted
,
as
in
relation
to
this
Ministry
spoken
of
:
I
do
not
speake
against
good
education
and
learning
,
which
is
in
its
place
a
vertue
,
(
as
for
Travellers
,
and
many
others
)
neither
do
I
account
such
money
vainly
wasted
and
spent
;
but
onely
as
to
the
Ministry
of
Christ
,
natural
learning
is
not
there
admitted
to
make
Ministers
,
or
to
enable
them
thereunto
;
but
that
money
which
is
thereupon
spent
,
is
wasted
and
consumed
;
and
how
much
is
spent
in
this
way
,
and
for
such
an
end
onely
,
I
leave
wise
men
to
judge
,
which
will
make
up
a
large
sum
in
the
whole
;
considering
all
things
I
say
,
their
yearly
maintenance
may
amount
to
fifteen
hundred
thousand
pounds
a
year
,
which
is
a
thousand
thousand
,
and
half
a
thousand
thousand
pounds
:
Men
of
wea●
understandings
can
hardly
reach
,
to
know
how
much
it
is
,
and
that
makes
me
thus
plainly
expound
it
.

A
description
of
the
true
Ministery
of
Christ
,
and
its
Maintenance
.
THe
day
hath
appeared
that
makes
all
things
manifest
,
and
the
light
is
aris●●
that
gives
to
discern
between
truth
and
error
;
between
the
true
and
eve●●
false
way
,
and
between
the
true
worship
of
God
,
which
is
spiritual
,
and
every
fal●●
worship
of
the
world
,
which
is
Idolatry
;
and
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
is
kno●●
from
the
false
Ministry
,
by
their
several
fruits
and
signes
,
for
hidden
things
are
broug●●
to
light
,
and
secret
things
are
revealed
:
but
now
the
people
of
the
world
,
both
t●●
wise
and
the
foolish
,
thus
they
object
,
and
say
,
Seeing
that
you
do
so
much
co●…
our
Ministry
and
Ministers
in
their
call
,
in
their
practices
,
in
their
conversation
,
●●d
〈◊〉
their
maintenance
;
what
Ministry
do
you
own
,
and
what
Ministers
do
you
allow
of
,
〈◊〉
whether
would
you
have
any
Ministery
at
all
,
seeing
you
throw
down
and
declare
against
s●●
as
the
Law
of
the
Land
sets
up
,
and
such
as
we
have
looked
upon
to
be
able
Ministers
;
〈◊〉
after
this
manner
are
the
people
of
this
Generation
begun
to
reason
among
themselves
,
s●…
what
would
this
people
do
if
they
had
power
;
what
Ministers
would
they
approve
of
;
and
〈◊〉
maintenance
would
they
allow
them
?
To
all
this
I
do
answer
and
say
,
The
true
Ministers
and
Ministry
of
C●…
we
do
allow
of
,
and
we
would
have
set
up
and
established
,
and
we
wait
pati●…
ly
till
it
be
brought
to
pass
,
even
such
as
are
ordained
by
power
from
on
〈◊〉
and
who
have
received
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
;
who
are
called
of
God
into
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Ministry
,
such
we
do
approve
of
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
in
whom
he
is
reve●…
and
who
have
received
him
,
and
are
changed
by
him
from
death
to
life
and
out
〈◊〉
darkness
into
the
Kingdom
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
who
are
born
of
the
Spirit
,
and
〈◊〉
led
and
guided
by
it
into
all
truth
,
and
are
called
by
it
to
follow
the
lamb
whither
s●…
he
goeth
,
and
who
are
taught
by
it
in
all
their
practices
of
Religion
,
and
in
〈◊〉
whole
worship
of
God
,
and
such
we
own
,
as
have
felt
the
operation
of
the
spi●…
in
themselves
,
and
who
have
tasted
,
handled
,
seen
,
and
felt
of
the
Word
of
life
;
whi●●
abids
for
ever
,
and
such
who
goeth
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
to
Minister
and
declare
freely
,
what
they
have
freely
received
of
God
by
his
Spirit
,
and
who
preacheth
Christ
freely
,
as
the
onely
way
and
means
of
life
and
salvation
unto
all
people
,
even
such
as
ministereth
him
the
way
,
the
truth
,
and
the
life
,
the
onely
justifier
,
and
sanctifier
,
and
deliverer
of
them
that
believe
,
and
the
condemner
of
them
that
believe
not
,
and
such
as
Ministereth
Christ
,
onely
the
teacher
and
leader
of
his
people
,
and
nothing
else
besides
him
;
and
such
we
allow
,
as
onely
seeketh
and
laboureth
in
the
wisdom
of
God
,
to
bring
people
out
of
the
wayes
of
sin
and
death
,
unto
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
to
the
things
that
belong
unto
their
peace
,
such
who
have
no
respect
to
large
places
,
or
great
benefits
,
to
seek
,
after
that
,
who
will
not
have
hire
for
preaching
,
nor
be
hired
by
great
sums
of
money
,
from
one
Country
to
another
,
such
as
makes
the
Gospel
of
Christ
free
,
and
without
charge
,
who
will
not
be
burdensome
to
any
,
but
walks
in
all
wisdom
,
as
examples
of
righteousness
to
all
people
,
whose
conversations
are
in
heaven
,
and
holdeth
forth
in
life
and
practice
,
unto
all
men
,
what
they
profess
in
words
,
and
by
doctrine
and
conversation
holding
forth
the
Light
of
the
glorious
Gospel
,
which
they
have
received
from
God
,
being
Partners
of
all
holiness
,
of
Peace
and
Long-suffering
,
of
Meekness
,
and
Patience
unto
their
Flocks
;
even
such
who
walk
in
Christ
,
and
shew
forth
good
works
,
and
the
fruits
of
his
spirit
,
causing
his
Light
to
shine
forth
among
men
,
in
humility
,
and
soberness
,
and
in
all
the
fruits
of
peace
,
and
Truth
,
and
such
are
approved
of
God
,
and
of
the
Saints
,
even
they
that
preach
Christ
freely
to
all
people
,
and
hold
forth
the
Light
of
the
World
,
which
lighteth
every
one
in
the
World
,
the
free
gift
of
God
to
all
mankind
,
that
all
may
believe
and
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
and
be
saved
;
and
such
Ministers
respect
not
the
person
of
any
man
for
advantage
,
neither
respect
dayes
,
nor
places
,
nor
things
,
but
worships
God
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
and
teach
that
worship
unto
all
people
,
and
they
gather
people
into
the
new
Covenant
,
where
Christ
is
the
High
Priest
,
and
our
Bodies
the
Temples
of
God
,
and
the
Circumcision
in
the
Heart
and
in
the
Spirit
,
for
such
are
Ministers
of
the
Spirit
,
and
not
of
the
Letter
,
and
they
divide
the
Word
of
God
aright
;
they
feed
the
Hungry
,
and
the
Rich
are
sent
empty
away
;
they
cry
not
peace
to
the
wicked
,
neither
do
justifie
the
Unconvered
;
neither
do
they
condemn
the
Righteous
,
nor
such
as
are
of
an
upright
Heart
;
but
Christ
they
preach
,
to
justifie
all
that
do
believe
,
and
are
obedient
to
him
,
and
do
condemn
all
that
believe
not
,
but
are
disobedient
;
and
such
Ministers
have
the
Word
of
Reconciliation
,
and
their
Ministry
is
made
effectual
,
to
accomplish
the
work
of
God
;
Sinners
are
converted
and
brought
to
God
thereby
,
and
to
be
taught
of
him
alone
;
and
the
Saints
through
that
Ministry
,
may
obtain
to
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
to
need
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
as
the
Anointing
within
them
,
which
they
receive
through
the
Ministry
,
whose
labour
is
,
and
the
end
of
it
,
to
present
every
man
perfect
in
Christ
,
and
this
Ministry
,
and
such
Ministers
we
approve
of
,
and
they
are
approved
of
Christ
,
and
we
would
have
them
established
;
and
who
are
such
will
not
take
care
for
an
outward
maintenance
,
neither
what
to
eat
,
or
what
to
put
on
;
neither
will
they
petition
to
Magistrates
for
Tythes
and
Augmentations
,
but
are
without
care
,
as
for
a
Lively-hood
in
this
World
;
they
will
not
remove
from
one
Town
to
another
,
for
a
better
Parsonage
●r
Place
,
for
such
as
do
so
,
are
not
the
lawful
called
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
have
run
and
were
never
sent
;
for
Christ's
Ministers
take
not
though
,
for
an
outward
maintenance
,
but
approve
themselves
in
Patience
in
all
Conditions
,
and
●omtimes
are
in
Want
,
and
in
Cold
,
and
Hunger
,
and
Nakedness
,
and
in
Persecutions
,
and
Tryals
,
and
Afflictions
,
and
suffered
all
things
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
yet
we
do
believe
and
know
,
That
such
have
power
to
eat
and
to
drink
,
and
may
receive
car●●l
things
where
they
sow
spiritual
things
,
but
as
a
free
Gift
,
and
not
by
compulsion
or
force
;
we
do
allow
that
the
Ministers
of
Christ
may
eat
of
the
Milk
of
the
Flock
,
which
they
keep
and
feed
,
and
they
may
eat
of
the
fruit
of
the
Vineyard
,
which
they
have
planted
,
and
which
they
labour
in
,
and
they
may
supply
their
necessities
from
them
whom
they
have
begotten
of
the
Faith
,
and
whom
they
labour
among
〈◊〉
Life
and
Doctrine
,
who
are
Sheep
of
the
Fold
,
and
Plants
of
the
Vineyard
of
Christ
Jesus
;
but
I
say
,
as
a
free
gift
may
they
receive
the
fruits
of
their
labours
,
and
not
as
a
debt
,
nor
any
title
claimed
thereto
by
the
Law
of
the
Nation
;
neither
may
they
receive
it
by
force
or
compulsion
;
but
who
are
the
truely
called
Ministers
of
Christ
are
so
far
from
this
,
of
forcing
maintenance
from
any
,
that
they
will
not
make
use
of
their
power
,
in
taking
what
may
be
freely
given
them
,
for
they
will
not
make
the
Gospel
burdensome
by
any
means
,
and
this
is
the
maintenance
we
do
allow
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
they
may
eat
such
things
as
are
set
before
them
,
in
any
house
which
they
enter
into
,
which
is
worthy
;
and
they
may
supply
their
necessities
in
food
and
raiment
,
as
a
free
gift
from
them
who
are
gathered
out
of
the
world
,
who
are
the
Church
of
Christ
,
over
whom
the
Ministers
are
made
Stewards
,
to
watch
over
them
,
to
exhort
them
,
to
instruct
them
,
and
to
edifie
them
;
but
not
from
the
world
,
who
continues
in
unbelief
and
disobedience
to
the
Gospel
may
they
receive
any
outward
maintenance
by
compulsion
,
or
by
a
free
gift
,
neither
may
they
receive
great
sums
of
money
by
the
year
,
or
tythes
,
or
other
offerings
to
maintain
themselves
and
their
families
,
in
pride
and
idleness
,
and
lust
,
and
excess
,
and
superfluity
in
meats
and
apparel
;
such
a
maintenance
if
by
free
gift
,
much
less
by
force
,
is
not
allowed
by
Christ
and
his
Saints
,
but
is
the
maintenance
of
Antichristian
Teachers
,
which
never
were
sent
of
Christ
,
and
such
cannot
be
content
with
his
allowance
and
wages
,
but
lives
in
pride
and
pleasures
of
this
world
,
and
in
vanity
;
and
maintained
,
they
say
they
must
be
,
and
if
they
be
so
,
they
care
not
from
whence
it
comes
,
nor
by
what
means
;
and
that
is
the
reason
wherefore
so
many
hundreds
of
honest
people
are
so
spoiled
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
the
Bodies
of
some
being
cast
into
prison
,
and
many
others
having
their
Goods
taken
from
them
by
force
and
distraint
;
and
all
this
is
to
maintain
Antichrists
Ministers
,
who
neither
care
how
they
have
it
,
or
from
whom
,
or
to
what
evil
use
they
improve
it
;
and
this
plainly
appears
in
this
Nation
,
by
many
evidences
;
but
the
Ministers
of
Christ
do
deny
such
a
maintenance
,
and
such
practises
;
and
are
come
to
that
Life
which
judgeth
all
these
things
.
And
as
concerning
COMPELLING
of
Maintenance
,
and
forcing
of
i●
from
people
,
this
is
utterly
against
the
Law
of
Christ
,
and
condemned
by
him
,
and
denied
by
the
Saints
;
for
it
is
unreasonable
and
no
equallity
in
it
,
that
people
should
be
compelled
to
maintain
a
Ministry
,
especially
such
a
one
as
they
know
〈◊〉
not
the
Ministry
of
Christ
,
neither
is
profitable
to
them
,
and
which
they
recei●●
no
fruit
from
;
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
do
not
desire
maintenance
from
the
people
of
the
World
,
neither
can
receive
any
from
them
,
neither
in
justice
and
equity
should
the
Ministers
of
the
World
receive
or
compel
Maintenance
from
the
Saints
by
force
and
cruelty
;
but
this
we
would
have
,
and
this
is
reason
and
equity
let
all
Ministers
be
maintained
by
such
as
approve
of
them
,
and
hear
them
,
and
partake
of
their
labour
,
and
so
the
Saints
will
maintain
their
Ministers
,
and
the
World
may
maintain
theirs
,
and
every
sort
of
people
may
maintain
such
Ministers
as
labour
for
them
,
and
none
to
be
forced
to
maintain
such
as
they
do
〈◊〉
approve
of
,
nor
none
hindred
from
maintaining
of
such
,
as
they
do
approve
〈◊〉
be
they
true
,
or
false
Ministers
;
and
this
is
reason
and
a
good
Conscience
,
Th●●
every
man
be
left
free
in
such
cases
,
to
maintain
whom
he
will
,
and
to
give
as
he
will
,
〈◊〉
what
he
will
,
and
this
is
reason
and
equity
,
that
no
man
be
compelled
to
give
,
or
hi●…
from
giving
to
whom
he
pleaseth
,
and
what
he
pleaseth
;
and
so
let
people
make
choi●●
of
their
Ministers
,
whom
they
will
approve
,
and
whom
they
will
hear
,
and
of
who●●
labours
they
will
receive
,
and
then
let
them
maintain
them
,
and
if
any
be
compelled
let
them
be
compelled
to
pay
their
own
Servants
,
who
minister
to
them
,
and
not
a●●thers
,
for
whom
they
do
no
work
;
and
this
is
just
and
right
both
for
Ministers
,
a●●
people
,
that
every
Minister
be
paid
by
them
to
whom
he
doth
Minister
,
and
who
receive
him
as
a
Minister
,
and
for
whom
he
doth
work
,
and
this
great
injustice
and
oppression
in
England
will
cease
,
if
this
Law
of
Equity
and
Righteousness
were
established
,
and
all
people
left
free
to
hear
,
&
approve
of
whom
they
will
,
and
then
to
pay
the●
and
maintain
them
,
and
this
would
try
the
Ministers
;
and
who
converted
the
most
〈◊〉
God
,
and
gained
the
love
of
most
people
,
and
if
they
wrought
well
they
may
recei●●
a
Maintenance
accordingly
,
by
the
free
gift
of
the
People
;
and
the
Ministers
that
are
no●
content
with
this
Law
,
are
out
of
pure
Reason
and
Equity
,
and
shew
that
the
dare
not
trust
the
Lord
,
nor
the
fruits
of
their
labours
,
but
would
be
maintained
in
●idleness
by
unlawful
means
,
by
compelling
maintenance
from
them
to
whom
they
do
no
work
;
and
such
shew
great
covetousness
,
who
desire
more
then
the
Milk
of
their
own
Flock
,
and
the
fruit
of
their
own
Vine-yard
;
but
in
Equity
and
Justice
●et
every
,
Minister
be
maintained
,
by
the
fruit
of
his
own
labour
,
from
the
people
for
whom
he
doth
labour
,
and
this
will
content
most
part
of
the
People
,
and
till
this
be
established
in
the
Earth
,
true
Justice
and
Judgment
will
be
wanting
in
this
particular
;
and
this
is
according
to
Truth
,
and
to
a
righteous
Law
;
and
by
this
all
people
may
understand
what
Ministers
and
Ministry
we
do
allow
and
approve
of
,
and
how
Ministers
ought
to
be
maintained
;
and
if
any
go
forth
to
a
Place
,
and
Country
,
among
a
people
that
are
not
converted
,
then
the
Church
ought
to
take
care
to
maintain
such
in
their
work
,
till
they
may
reap
of
their
own
labour
,
and
eat
of
the
fruit
of
their
own
Vine-yard
,
but
all
this
ought
to
be
without
compelling
or
forcing
by
the
Minister
;
for
every
Minister
of
Christ
doth
chiefly
take
care
of
the
work
unto
which
he
is
called
;
and
is
without
care
of
his
outward
Maintenance
.

a

no

his
counsel
whatsoever
he
will

Majesty

Dominion
is
over
all
and
beyond
all
,
ruling
above
all
in
the
power
of
his

,
and
who
may
say
what
doth
he
?
his
eye
seeth
all
and
his
presence
filleth
all
,
and
no
creature
can
be
hid
from
his
sight
;
he
is
near
at
hand
and
afar
off
,

searcheth
mans
heart
and

tryeth
the
reins

Concerning

MAN

Lord

all

man
transgresseth

offended
him

dishonoured

and
was
drove
out
from
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
he
is
now
a
Child
of
Disobedience
,
and
of
Wrath
,
and
an
Enemy
in
his
mind
against
the
Lord
that
made
him
;
and
he
is
doing
and
fulfilling
daily
the
will
of
the
Devil
,
and
grieveth
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
vexeth
his
righteous
Soul
,
and
is
subject
unto
the
Curse
of
Wo
and
Destruction
,
being
ignorant
of
the
Life
,
and
Power
,
and
Wisdom
of
the
Creator
,
to
lead
him
,
to
guide
him
,
and
to
preserve
him
,
but
follows
the
counsel
of
hisown
heart
,
which
is
evil
altogether
,
though
he
was
made
upright
,
yet
hath
he
sought
out
many
inventions
,
which
are
continually
abominable
unto
the
Lord
;
the
ground
in
which
he
stands
is
corrupted
,
and
all
his
fruit
is
unpleasant
,
even
bitter
and
evil
unto
the
Lords
Taste
.
Man
is
fallen
into
the
Pit
of
Misery
and
Sorrow
,
compassed
about
with
desolation
,
and
is
left
without
a
Helper
from
himself
,
or
from
any
other
Creature
,
and
this
in
short
is
the
state
of
all
mankind
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
who
was
planted
a
noble
Vine
;
wholly
aright
Seed
,
to
bring
forth
good
fruit
unto
his
Maker
;
but
he
is
turned
into
a
degenerate
plant
,
bringing
forth
cursed
fruits
which
the
Creator
hath
not
pleasure
in
,
his
best
works
are
not
accepted
,
and
his
evil
deeds
are
condemned
,
because
the
ground
in
which
he
stands
is
accursed
,
because
of
disobedience
.

Concerning
the
World
in
general
,
and
the
state
of
things
as
they
have
been
,
and
as
now
they
are
,
this
Testimony
I
give
to
the
whole
World
.
DArkness
hath
been
over
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
thick
darkness
hath
covered
the
people
for
many
ages
,
the
Beast
hath
reigned
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
and
all
Nations
have
been
subject
to
his
power
and
dominion
,
even
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
Earth
have
given
their
power
unto
him
,
all
the
World
hath
wondred
after
him
,
as
it
is
written
;
and
the
whole
World
hath
worshipped
the
Beast
and
his
Image
,
he
hath
power
to
kill
all
that
would
not
worship
him
,
both
small
and
great
,
rich
and
poor
,
even
all
have
been
subject
to
his
Government
;
and
he
hath
had
power
to
war
against
the
Saints
,
and
to
make
war
with
them
,
and
to
overcome
them
,
even
all
that
would
not
worship
him
he
hath
had
power
to
kill
.
The
Rule
and
Government
of
the
SON
of
God
hath
not
been
witnessed
among
men
for
Ages
,
nor
the
true
God
known
,
nor
manifestly
worshipped
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
but
he
hath
been
as
a
Stranger
among
men
,
and
they
have
been
ignorant
of
his
Wayes
and
Judgments
,
and
all
People
have
been
doing
that
which
is
right
in
the
sight
of
their
own
eyes
,
and
God
hath
been
forgotten
dayes
without
number
;
the
Living
Fountain
hath
been
forsaken
,
and
many
broken
Cestern
have
been
hewen
out
,
which
have
not
holden
pure
Water
:
Great
Evils
and
continual
Abominations
have
been
acted
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
the
measure
of
iniquity
hath
been
fulfilling
through
many
Generations
,
and
it
is
grown
nigh
to
the
full
:
The
Law
of
God
h●th
been
made
void
,
and
his
Grace
hath
been
turned
into
wantonness
,
and
all
things
have
been
out
of
good
order
:
Kings
,
Princes
,
Rulers
,
Governments
,
Laws
,
and
Decrees
have
been
corrupt
,
and
not
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
;
Oppressions
,
Tyranny
,
and
Vain-glory
hath
abounded
in
the
Nations
,
and
Justice
and
true
Judgment
have
been
neglected
,
and
Mercy
and
Truth
have
been
Strangers
,
and
the
World
hath
been
filled
with
violence
,
and
the
whole
Earth
stained
and
polluted
with
Oppressions
Injustice
and
Cruelties
,
and
the
cry
of
the
poor
hath
not
been
heard
,
every
one
hath
sought
themselves
,
and
not
the
Lord
,
nor
the
good
one
of
another
;
the
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
Earth
have
not
been
perfect
nor
upright
before
the
Lord
,
but
Vain-glory
hath
abounded
,
and
superstitions
and
Idolatries
hath
reigned
over
them
,
and
unrighteousness
hath
abounded
,
and
Self-seeking
;
and
they
have
risen
up
one
against
another
,
in
quarrelling
and
destroying
one
another
,
and
to
gain
one
anothers
Dominions
by
Craft
,
and
Pollicy
,
and
strong
hand
,
and
the
poor
have
been
oppressed
and
troden
down
,
and
thousands
of
thousands
destroyed
to
fulfil
the
wills
,
and
lusts
,
and
pride
of
their
hearts
,
all
this
hath
been
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
soul
hath
been
weary
with
it
,
by
the
destruction
of
his
Creatures
,
one
by
another
,
even
Rulers
,
Teachers
,
and
people
have
all
been
out
of
the
Way
,
and
subverted
from
that
wherein
God
hath
pleasure
;
and
the
Prince
of
Darkness
hath
ruled
in
his
dominion
,
swaying
all
under
his
Government
,
and
even
all
things
,
both
of
civil
and
spiritual
concernment
,
hath
been
out
of
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
.
Oh
what
cruel
Injustice
and
Tyranny
in
civil
Government
!
Oh
what
abominable
Superstitions
and
Idolatries
have
been
in
(
supposed
)
Church-governments
!
It
s
a
vexation
to
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
,
to
consider
it
,
and
the
Righteous
soul
hath
long
cried
out
and
mourned
under
it
,
and
because
of
this
is
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
now
risen
to
overturn
,
to
overturn
Kings
and
Princes
,
Governments
and
Laws
;
and
he
will
confound
and
break
down
all
Tyranny
and
Oppression
,
under
which
the
poor
have
groaned
;
and
●e
will
change
Times
,
and
Laws
,
and

;
there
shall
be
no
King
ruling
but
Jesus
,
nor
no
Government
of

,
but
the
Government
of
the
Lamb
,
no●
no

Concerning
mans
Restauration
,
Redemption
and
Salvation
,
what
they
are
,
and
by
whom
they
are
wrought
,
this
Testimony
I
give
unto
all
People
.
MAns
Restauration
is
a
repairing
and
giving
again
that
which
he
had
lost
by
transgression
;
and
Redemption
is
a
recovering
,
and
a
winning
again
,
and
setting
free
from
that
wherein
man
hath
been
held
(
even
all
the
sons
of
Adam
)
because
of
disobedience
;
and
Salvation
is
a
saving
,
keeping
,
and
preserving
from
sin
,
and
death
,
and
disobedience
,
and
all
the
ways
thereof
,
and
also
a
saving
from
wrath
and
misery
and
condemnation
,
which
are
the
effects
thereof
;
and
by
the
Son
of
God
Christ
Jesus
is
all
this
wrought
,
manifested
and
witnessed
,
and
Restauration
,
Redemption
and
Salvation
is
onely
in
Christ
Jesus
,
the
second
Adam
,
and
not
in
any
other
,
and
it
is
wrought
by
him
,
and
by
no
other
,
and
they
are
the
free
gift
of
the
Father
unto
the
sons
of
men
,
no
way
purchased
by
the
works
of
the
Creature
,
or
desert
of
him
,
but
are
freely
given
unto
the
Creature
,
through
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
the
Creator
,
and
onely
by
Jesus
Christ
the
Son
of
the
eternal
God
,
and
by
the
eternal
Spirit
are
they
witnessed
in
all
that
believe
,
and
through
the
word
of
Life
are
they
handled
,
tasted
,
seen
and
felt
,
near
at
hand
,
in
power
,
and
not
in
words
onely
.
Many
professes
them
in
words
,
and
what
others
enjoyed
of
these
things
,
but
have
not
felt
in
themselves
the
working
of
the
eternall
Spirit
,
neither
have
the
witness
in
themselves
of
being
restored
to
God
again
,
and
of
being
redeemed
by
him
from
under
the
Devils
power
,
neither
are
saved
by
Christ
from
sin
and
transgression
and
so
are
not
,
nor
cannot
be
saved
from
condemnation
and
wrath
,
for
who
abide
in
their
sins
,
and
in
the
state
unreconciled
to
God
,
hath
not
any
part
or
portion
in
these
things
which
belongs
to
their
peace
;
and
without
the
knowledge
of
which
,
by
the
working
of
the
eternal
Spirit
,
all
mankind
is
everlastingly
miserable

Concering
true
Religion
and
the
true
Worship
of
the
true
God
,
this
Testimony
I
give
unto
the
whole
World
.
THis
is
true
Religion
,
to
be
kept
pure
and
clean
from
all
evil
,
and
from
all
that
which
would
defile
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
walk
in
his
fear
in
all
things
;
this
is
Religion
,
to
do
good
and
to
do
no
evil
,
and
to
speak
the
truth
,
and
to
do
the
truth
in
all
things
,
and
to
do
unto
all
men
as
a
man
would
be
done
unto
,
and
to
love
God
withall
the
heart
,
and
the
neighbour
as
self
,
and
not
to
love
the
world
,
and
ways
and
pleasures
of
it
,
nor
to
use
deceit
in
words
or
actions
;
this
is
true
Religion
,
and
the
true
Worship
of
God
,
to
be
led
with
his
Spirit
in
all
things
,
and
to
be
guided
in
the
truth
at
all
times
,
on
all
occasions
;
this
is
acceptable
,
and
well
pleasing
unto
God
,
above
all
words
,
and
outward
conformity
,
and
set
times
,
and
days
,
and
observances
;
for
the
Worship
of
God
is
not
in
these
things
,
but
is
without
respect
of
days
places
,
or
things
;
this
Religion
and
Worship
stands
in
Christ
Jesus
the
second
Adam
,
who
hath
lighted
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
that
all
men
through
him
might
believe
,
and
by
him
have
their
consciences
purely
exercised
towards
God
and
towards
man
in
all
things
whatsoever
;
and
this
is
our
Religion
,
and
Worship
of
the
True
God
;
he
that
can
receive
it
,
let
him
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Concerning
Justification
and
Sanctification
,
this
testimony
〈◊〉
give
unto
all
People
.
JUstification
is
freely
by
Jesus
Christ
in
the
sight
of
the
Father
,
and
not
by
the
works
of
mans
own
righteousness
,
and
such
as
are
taught
by
Christ
and
guided
by
him
in
all
the
ways
of
truth
and
righteousness
,
are
justified
by
him
and
none
else
,
not
in
any
word
or
work
whatsoever
,
but
in
what
they
are
led
to
fulfil
by
him
,
and
it
is
the
new
man
that
is
justified
,
and
not
the
old
,
he
that
is
born
of
God
;
and
none
that
are
born
of
the
flesh
,
such
cannot
please
God
,
neither
can
such
be
justified
by
him
,
for
they
are
not
taught
of
him
,
nor
saved
,
nor
restored
,
nor
redeemed
,
and
therefore
are
not
justified
nor
cleared
from
condemnation
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
;
but
who
lives
in
iniquity
,
and
sin
,
and
the
wayes
and
works
of
the
World
,
which
are
evil
,
by
Christ
Jesus
are
condemned
,
and
not
justified
,
though
in
words
they
profess
him
,
yet
of
justification
by
him
they
have
no
part
:
and
sanctification
is
by
the
working
of
the
eternal
Spiri●
in
the
heart
of
the
Creature
,
which
purgeth
out
and
taketh
away
all
unrighteousness
,
and
all
the
works
and
fruits
of
darkness
it
witnesseth
against
,
and
witnesseth
unto
Jesus
,
who
takes
away
all
sin
and
destroyes
the
works
of
the
Devil
,
that
man
may
be
holy
and
pure
in
the
sight
of
his
Maker
;
and
every
one
that
hath
the
witness
of
his
justification
,
hath
the
operation
by
the
eternal
Spirit
of
sanctification
,
and
all
that
receives
Christ
Jesus
who
hath
lighted
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
receiveth
sanctification
and
justification
by
him
,
and

made
so

the
Father
;

that
can

Concerning
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
how
it
is
to
be
set
up
,
this
testimony
I
give
unto
all
the
World
.
THE
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
of
his
Son
,
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
is
fro●
above
,
and
stands
in
righteousness
and
in
truth
,
in
mercy
and
in
peace
,
i●
true
judgement
and
justice
,
and
this
Dominion
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
,
and
it
reacheth
beyond
all
the
World
,
and
its
Government
is
love
and
unity
and
everlasting
peace
,
and
is
perfect
liberty
to
the
Just
,
and
bindeth
and
chaineth
the
Unjust
;
in
it
there
is
on
oppression
,
but
perfect
freedom
from
all
unrighteousness
,
and
it
consists
not
in
word
,
but
in
power
,
to
the
bringing
down
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
,
and
to
the
breaking
off
the
bonds
of
all
injustice
,
and
all
ungodliness
,
which
is
the
Kingdom
of
Satan
,
which
hath
long
ruled
i●
the
World
,
that
Kingdom
whereof
Christ
is
King
,
which
stands
in
Righteousness
,
no
unclean
thing
can
have
any
part
therein
,
and
this
we
believe
,
it
shall
be
set
up
and
advanced
in
the
earth
,
but
not
by
might
of
man
,
or
arm
of
flesh
,
nor
the
multitude
of
an
host
,
neither
by
policy
nor
craft
,
nor
by
revenge
,
but
by
the
arm
of
the
Lord
alone
,
through
the
suffering
and
patience
of
his
people
,
and
by
faithful
witness
bearing
unto
Jesus
Christ
by
doing
and
by
suffering
,
by
doing
his
Will
in
all
things
in
a
pure
Life
and
Conversation
,
and
upright
walkking
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
by
patient
suffering
under
the
injustice
and
oppression
of
men
,
and
of
their
unjust
Government
and
Laws
,
till
they
be
overturned
and
confounded
:
and
further
we
give
testimony
,
that
suffring
in
patience
under
the
cruelty
and
oppression
of
the
Devils
government
and
kingdom
;
more
reaches
to
overthrow
them
,
than
the
rising
to
rebel
in
any
way
of
outward
offence
toward
them
,
or
defence
from
them
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
is
near
to
come
,
and
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
be
changed
,
and
none
shall
have
any
part
therein
,
but
they
that
are
redeemed
out
of
kindreds
,
tongues
,
and
people
:
this
we
believe
;

that
can
receive

this
testimony
I
give
to
the
World
.
GOvernours
,
Rulers
,
and
Magistrates
we
own
,
and
do
respect
in
the
Lord
;
(
and
yet
cannot
respect
any
mans
person
whatsoever
)
such
as
be
a
terrour
to
all
evil
in
their
Government
,
and
that
fears
God
and
hates
covetousness
,
and
delights
in
Equity
,
in
Justice
,
and
true
Judgement
,
and
gives
diligent
heed
to
try
the
cause
of
the
poor
,
and
will
judge
justly
,
without
respect
of
men
,
who
justifies
the
good
,
and
gives
praise
to
the
Well-doer
;
such
Government
and
Governours
we
reverence
,
where
Sin
and
Iniquity
is
kept
under
,
Drunkenness
,
Swearing
,
Murther
,
Quarrelling
,
and
all
the
ways
and
works
of
the
flesh
are
terrified
,
and
a
Wel-doer
praised
and
justified
;
this
Goverment
of
men
,
reaches
to
the
witness
of
God
in
every
man
,
and
that
answers
to
the
justice
and
righteousness
of
all
such
Governours
and
Government
,
and
these
witness
that
they
are
of
God
;
but
the
witness
of
God
in
every
man
,
beareth
witness
against
all
unjust
men
,
and
Laws
,
and
Rulers
,
and
Governments
,
which
strengtheneth
the
hands
of
the
wicked
,
and
oppresseth
the
just
,
where
the
making
and
execution
of
Laws
are
in
the
power
of
proud
men
,
and
covetous
men
,
who
fears
not
God
,
neither
hates
covetousness
,
neither
doth
respect
the
cause
of
the
poor
,
but
rules
by
their
Wills
and
Tyranny
,
and
not
by
just
Laws
in
Righteousness
;
but
makes
unrighteous
decrees
to
oppress
the
poor
and
innocent
,
letting
the
wicked
go
free
;
such
who
upholds
unrighteous
Worships
and
Teachers
,
by
oppression
,
and
causes
the
Innoccent
to
suffer
,
and
makes
them
Offenders
,
because
the
exercise
of
a
pure
conscience
towards
God
and
men
;
such
Rulers
and
Government
we
cannot
be
subject
to
for
Conscience
sake
,
but
do
rather
fulfull
the
Law
and
Will
of
God
,
though
we
transgress
their
wills
,
and
unrighteous
laws
,
and
yet
doth
not
rebel
against
them
,
nor
seek
defence
from
them
,
but
patiently
suffers
under
them
,
and
bears
their
injustice
and
cruelty
,
without
seeking
any
revenge
,
but
leaves
vengeance
to
the
Lord
to
whom
it
belongs
;
and
this
is
our
Judgement
in
full
,
the
Government
and
Laws
which
we
cannot
obey
nor
fulfil
for
Conscisake
,
we
chuse
rather
to
suffer
under
them
for
disobedience
to
them
,
than
to
transgress
the
righteous
Law
of
God
,
written
in
our
hearts
,
by
obeying
them
;
so
that
what
we
cannot
obey
for
Conscience
sake
,
for
Conscience
sake
we
resist
not
,
but
suffers
under
that
(
the
punishment
of
it
)
patiently
,
and
herein
are
we
subject
to
every
ordinance
of
man
,
for
conscience
sake
:
in
fulfilling
of
the
good
,
the
just
,
and
righteous
,
and
in
patience
suffering
under
the
cruelty
and
oppression
of
the
unjust
,
and
unrighteous
,
and
this
we
do
and
teach
every
where
,
subjection
to
every
Ordinance
of
man
,
and
are
not
destroyers
of
true
Government
,
or
rebellious
against
just
Governours
,
but
are
exalters
of
true
Justice
and
Judgement
in
the
Earth
.
CHAP.

.
Concerning
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
and
the
false
Ministry
,
and
the
difference
betwixt
them
,
this
testimony
I
give
unto
all
the
World
.
THE
true
Ministry
is
sent
of
God
,
and
is
the
gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
it
stands
in
the
Power
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
not
in
the
words
of
mans
wisdom
,
of
that
wisdom
which
is
from
below
,
and
it
brings
people
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
which
is
life
eternal
,
and
it
turns
people
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
Power
of
God
,
it
is
freely
received
of
God
,
and
freely
given
forth
of
us
,
it
proclaims
Peace
on
Earth
,
unto
such
as
are
of
a
broken
and
upright
heart
,
and
it
proclaims
war
against
all
the
wicked
upon
Earth
;
it
is
a
good
savour
unto
God
in
setting
the
way
of
life
,
and
the
way
of
death
,
before
all
people
;
the
Ministry
of
Christ
is
free
,
and
cannot
be
bought
nor
sold
for
money
,
it
is
without
hire
,
and
gifts
,
and
rewards
from
any
man
,
which
is
given
freely
into
the
World
,
and
it
ever
was
and
is
persecuted
by
the
Generation
of
the
unjust
,
and
by
the
powers
of
the
Earth
;
he
that
comes
in
the
Fathers
Name
cannot
be
received
of
the
World
,
but
the
World
is
at
enmity
against
it
,
in
this
Generation
,
as
ever
was
;
it
converts
people
unto
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
many
did
,
and
many
do
receive
the
Knowledge
of
God
thereby
,
though
some
thereby
be
hardened
against
God
unto
destruction
,
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Ministry
returns
not
in
vain
unto
God
,
but
all
by
it
ar●
left
without
excuse
,
the
Witness
of
Christ
in
every
Creature
being
reached
to
,
which
gives
Testimony
to
the
Power
,
and
to
the
Truth
of
the
Ministry
of
Christ
;
but
the
false
Ministers
and
Ministry
are
not
such
,
for
their
Ministry
is
received
by
natural
Learning
and
Arts
,
and
is
not
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
but
stands
in
the
wisdom
of
mans
words
,
and
not
in
the
Power
and
Life
of
God
,
it
profits
not
the
people
at
all
,
neither
do
any
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
thereby
,
neither
is
turned
from
Darkness
to
Light
;
but
Teachers
and
people
continues
in
the
power
of
Satan
,
and
in
the
unconverted
estate
,
the
Witness
of
God
not
reached
to
,
to
bring
to
the
understanding
of
things
which
are
eternal
,
but
people
are
ever
learning
by
it
,
and
never
coming
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
;
but
the
Blind
leads
the
Blind
,
and
like
Teachers
like
People
,
all
out
of
the
Way
,
given
to
Iniquity
and
unrighteousness
,
and
such
are
they
who
preaches
for
Hire
,
and
divines
for
Money
,
and
seeks
for
their
gai●
from
their
Quarter
,
and
through
covetousness
,
by
feigned
words
,
make
merchandize
of
Souls
,
going
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
teaching
for
filthy
Lucre
having
settled
places
and
so
much
a
year
,
these
are
not
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
false
Ministers
of
Autichrist
and
Deceivers
,
and
were
never
sent
of
God
,
and
do
never
bring
any
to
the
Knowledge
of
Gods
,
and
such
we
be●●
witness
against
to
be
of
the
Devil
,
and
that
for
many
Generations
the
World
hath
been
deceived
by
them
,
who
hath
had
the
form
of
godlines
,
but
not
the
Power
,
and
Christs
words
,
and
the
Apostles
,
words
without
the
Life
;
and
they
have
served
themselves
,
and
not
the
Lord
Jesus
;
but
now
they
are
made
manifest
with
the
true
Light
,
which
approveth
the
Ministry
of
God
,
and
disapproveth
such
who
are
Ministers
of
Antichrist
;
and
all
that
are
in
the
Light
,
and
walk
in
the
light
can
receive
this
testimony
which
is
given
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
to
that
Ministry
which
is
sent
of
him
,
which
doth
fulfill
his
will
,
and
against
the
false
Ministry
which
is
not
of
God
,
which
runs
and
was
never
sent
of
him
.
CHAP.

.
Concerning
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
this
is
my
testimony
unto
all
the
World
.
THE
Gospel
is
the
Power
of
God
,
and
it
is
sent
of
him
into
the
World
to
reconcile
people
unto
him
,
that
have
been
in
the
enmity
agai●●●
him
,
〈◊〉
is
Peace
to
the
Poor
in
spirit
,
and
judgement
to
the
Fat
,
and
to
the
high
min●●●
;
and
it
is
to
be
preached
to
every
creature
(
male
and
female
)
under
Heaven
without
respect
of
Peoples
,
Nations
,
or
Generations
,
it
is
the
manifestation
of
the
Love
of
God
to
the
whole
World
,
to
gather
people
out
of
all
unrighteous●●●●
,
into
the
living
Way
of
Life
,
Peace
and
Truth
,
to
walk
with
God
in
Purity
and
Holiness
,
and
to
deny
the
World
and
all
its
ways
,
and
works
,
and
worships
which
are
evil
,
and
by
it
some
are
brought
to
God
,
and
to
salvation
,
and
life
eternal
,
and
some
through
it
are
hardened
against
God
,
that
they
may
be
destroyed
and
condemned
,
who
are
Reprobates
,
and
believes
not
in
him
from
whom
the
Gospel
comes
,
and
it
cannot
be
received
by
any
other
way
or
means
than
by
the
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
in
the
hearts
of
his
people
,
and
many
have
the
letter
which
knows
not
the
Gospel
,
nor
hath
received
it
,
and
this
Gospel
which
is
everlasting
,
have
we
received
from
God
,
and
this
is
the
sound
of
it
which
we
give
in
the
World
unto
the
World
:
Fear
God
,
and
give
Glory
to
him
,
for
the
hour
of
his
Judgements
is
come

and
this
is
the
everlasting
Gospel
of
Salvation

that
can
receive

Concerning
the
Word
of
God
,
and
concerning
the
Scriptures
,
this
testimony
I
give
unto
all
the
World
.
THE
Word
of
God
was
in
the
beginning
before
any
Creatures
were
made
,
and
by
it
all
things
stand
and
remain
unto
this
day
,
and
the
Word
endures
,
for
ever
,
and
by
it
all
things
in
Heaven
and
in
Earth
are
brought
to
pass
which
God
doth
,
and
it
is
from
everlasting
to
everlasting
,
without
beginning
and
without
end
,
and
the
Word
is
powerful
,
dividing
and
discerning
all
things
,
even
the
secret
thoughts
of
every
mans
heart
,
it
is
as
a
two
edged
sword
,
and
as
a
fire
,
and
like
a
hammer
to
cut
up
,
to
burn
,
and
to
beat
down
;
the
Word
of
the
Lord
reconciles
man
again
to
him
,
and
this
Word
is
in
the
mouth
and
in
the
heart
,
and
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
handled
,
tasted
,
saw
and
felt
the
Word
of
Life
,
and
from
it
spoke
forth
the
Scriptures
,
as
they
were
moved
by
the
holy
Ghost
,
through
the
eternal
Spirit
,
and
it
is
an
Declaration
of
the
Word
of
Life
,
which
was
in
the
beginning
and
endures
for
ever
,
and
it
declares
what
the
Saints
received
,
believed
,
and
enjoyed
,
and
none
can
understand
it
without
the
same
Spirit
that
gave
it
forth
,
and
to
such
who
have
the
same
Spirit
the
Scripture
is
profitable
;
the
Word
of
God
,
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
and
which
endures
for
ever
,
is
not
the
Scripture
which
was
not
in
the
beginning
,
neither
can
it
endure
for
ever
,
but
the
Scripture
testifies
of
that
Word
,
&
that
Word
witnesses
to
the
Scripture
,
and
they
are
not
contrary
one
to
the
other
,
but
gives
witness
each
of
other
,
but
many
hath
the
Scripture
that
hath
not
the
Word
,
neither
knows
it
;
but
they
that
have
the
Word
cannot
but
own
the
Scriptures
,
and
this
is
the
Truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
Testified
to
all
the
World
by
us
,
who
doth
deny
them
that
hereof
gives
any
other
testimony
.

Concerning
the
Devil
and
Damnation
,
this
Testimony
I

THere
is
a
Devil
which
is
out
of
the
Truth
,
who
abode
not
in
the
Truth

but
is
a
Lyar

the
father
of
all
evil
doing

and
the
author
of
all
unrighteousness
,
and
whatsoever
is
contrary
to
God
in
thought
,
word
,
and

;
he
is
the
enmity
against
God

against
all
good
,
and
by
his
power
subverts
creatures
and
things
to
another
end
,
than
wherefore
they
were
created
,
even
to
the
dishonour
of
the
Creator
;
he
is
the

the

he
rules
King
in
all
the
childern

he

,
and
he
dwells
in

&
inhabits
in
thick

is
out

is
separate
from
the
Presence
of
God
for
ever

bo●●●
in
chains
of

and
he

and
he
possesses
him

he
hath
not
ceased
to
work
evil
,
and
to
draw
the
children
of
men
into
evil
,
for
he
continually
tempteth
to
lead
from
God
into
Rebellion
against
him
.
And
they
that
are
led
by
him
are
destroyed
,
and
he
shall
not
cease
sorrow
,
wo
,
and
misery
for
ever
,
as
he
hath
not
ceased
to
work
evil
,
he
liveth
and
moveth
in
the
anger
of
God
,
his
beginning
was
in
it
,
and
all
his
works
are
in
it

and
it
shall
be
the
reward
of
him
,
and
all
that
obey
him
in
the
separation
from
Gods
everlasting
Presence
,
for
ever

Concerning
all
creatures
that
God
made
,
this
Testimony
I
give
unto
all
the
World
.
ALL
creatures
that
God
made
in
their
creation
and
beginning
was
very
good
in
his
sight
that
made
them
,
and
unto
man
that
was
to
use
them
,
and
no
Creature
was
evil
or
defiled
in
its
Creation
,
but
mankind
transgressing
against
his
Maker
,
he
become
evil
,
and
did
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
he
being
possessed
with
evil
,
and
corrupted
,
he
makes
all
Creatures
evil
in
his
exercise
of
them
,
corrups
them
,
and
perverts
them
to
another
end
than
wherefore
they
were
created
,
and
by
the
Creatures
,
dishonours
the
Creator
,
●…o
should
have
honoured
him
by
them
,
and
they
are
become
a
curse
unto
man
,
and
not
a
blessing
,
though
in
themselves
are
neither
cursed
,
nor
evil
,
nor
defiled
,
but
is
become
so
unto
man
,
because
of
his
transgression
and
disobedience
;
for
he
being
in
the
curse
and
defiled
,
all
things
are
so
unto
him
,
and
in
his
exercise
of
them
he
is
wicked
,
abusing
them
upon
the
lust
to
satisfie
his
devillish
mind
,
and
ruling
over
them
in
oppression
and
cruelty
,
and
hard
heartedness
,
and
not
in
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
as
he
ought
,
and
he
subverts
them
out
from
their
pure
vertue
,
feeding
his
lust
in
pride
and
voluptuousness
,
with
that
which
should
keep
him
from
hunger
and
nakedness
,
and
so
pleasing
the
lust
in
all
things
more
than
satisfying
pure
nature
,
and
this
ought
not
to
be
,
for
it
is
out
of
the
Covenant
of
God
,
in
which
all
Creatures
were
made
,
and
in
which
they
stand
,
except
the
Creature
man
,
who
is
degenerated
out
of
Gods
Covenant
,
and
subverts
all
things
to
his
own
end
,
and
not
unto
the
glory
of
God
,
while
he
continues
in
that
state
unreconciled
to
God
,
but
man
being
restored
,
and
redeemed
,
and
renewed
again
into
covenant
with
God
,
through
the
condemning
of
the
evil
,
then
all
Creatures
to
him
are
restored
,
and
made
blessed
,
the
curse
being
removed
out
of
his
own
heart
,
the
Creatures
are
no
longer
cursed
to
him
,
but
good
and
decent
,
and
enjoyed
,
and
received
in
the
Covenant
,
of
God
in
the
life
and
vertue
by
which
they
were
created
,
and
by
the
wisdom
which
they
were
made
,
man
comes
to
order
them
,
and
exercise
himself
in
them
,
and
no
more
are
they
spent
upon
the
lust
,
nor
on
the
vain
minde
,
nor
ruled
over
in
oppression
,
but
all
that
is
condemned
,
and
all
Creatures
are
seen
to
be
the
Lords
,
and
the
Whole
Earth
is
his
,
and
the
fulness
thereof
,
and
the
abuse
of
all
Creatures
is
ceased
,
and
they
are
enjoyed
in
their
pure
vertue
to
feed
and
to
cloath
the
Creature
,
and
not
to
be
destroyed
upon
the
lust
,
but
for
the
healths-sake
are
they
used
to
the
glory
of
of
the
Creator
,
and
unto
the
end
wherefore
he
Created
them
,
and
are
pure
as
they
were
in
the
beginning
,
and
the
blessing
is
felt
which
is
more
than
all
creatures
.

Concerning
the
new
Covenant
,
and
how
man
comes
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
this
Testimony
I
give
.
THE
Covenant
of
God
is
Unity
betwixt
God
and
man
,
and
a
binding
each
to
other
,
to
serve
each
other
,
the
one
is
bound
to
obey
,
and
submit
,
and
worship
;
and
the
other
to
blesse
,
and
keep
,
and
lead
,
and
perserve
;
this
Covenant
is
established
with
his
own
Seed
for
ever
,
and
there
is
no
Teacher
but
God
,
all
is
taught
of
him
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
who
are
in
this
Covenant
,
his
just
Law
is
written
in
their
heart
to
condemn
all
transgression
,
and
his
pure
Spirit
is
put
into
the
inward
parts
,
to
be
the
rule
and
guide
of
life
in
all
things
,
and
none
need
to
say
,
know
the
Lord
,
but
all
knows
him
in
the
Spirit
,
and
worships
him
,
and
obeys
him
:
and
follows
him
in
Spirit
,
and
in
Truth
,
and
such
are
come
into
Peace
and
Reconciliation
with
God
,
and
the
Covenant
with
Hell
and
Death
is
broken
;
and
in
this
Covenant
,
there
is
no
Priest
,
nor
Offering
,
but
Christ
Jesus
the
high
●…iest
of
God
,
the
one
Offering
for
sin
,
he
takes
away
sin
and
makes
intercession
,
and
in
it
is
no
Temple
,
but
our
bodies
are
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
he
dwells
in
us
,
and
walks
in
us
,
and
there
is
no
circumcision
,
but
the
circumcision
of
the
heart
,
which
is
the
putting
away
of
all
the
uncleanness
of
the
flesh
,
nor
in
it
there
is
no
means
of
salvation
,
but
Christ
the
onely
way
the
Truth
and
Life
,
and
none
comes
to
the
Father
but
by
him
;
he
Declares
of
the
Father
,
and
there
is
no
Light
but
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
;
all
that
are
Saved
shall
walk
in
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
,
and
there
shall
be
no
need
of
any
other
light
,
no
need
of
the
Light
of
the
Sun
,
nor
of
the
Moon
nor
of
Candle
,
but
the
Lord
is
unto
them
an
everlasting
Light
,
and
God
alone
is
their
Glory
,
and
this
Covenant
is
for
ever
,
and
cannot
alter
nor
change
,
but
is
sure
unto
the
Seed
of
his
own
Inheritance
;
but
he
that
is
born
of
the
Flesh
hath
no
part
in
it
,
who
is
shut
out
from
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
who
is
not
known
to
the
wisdom
of
this
World
,
which
is
Foolishness
with
God
;
and
the
Knowledge
of
God
is
received
no
other
way
but
onely
by
the
revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
by
the
Working
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
in
the
heart
,
he
opens
the
blinde
Eye
,
and
unstops
the
deaf
Ear
,
and
changeth
the
heart
,
and
causeth
it
to
understand
,
and
he
removes
that
which
hath
stood
in
the
way
betwixt
God
and
the
Creature
,
which
hath
caused
ignorance
in
the
Creature
,
that
the
Lord
could
not
be
seen
nor
perceived
.
Christ
Jesus
the
second
Adam
Lighteth
every
man
,
and
at
Mankind
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
with
the
true
Light
,
but
some
hates
the
Light
,
and
they
will
not
come
to
the
Light
,
least
their
Deeds
should
be
reproved
,
and
their
Deeds
are
evil
,
and
they
are
in
a
condemned
State
,
and
such
cannot
receive
Christ
,
nor
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
but
such
who
love
the
Light
with
which
Christ
hath
enlightned
them
,
they
bring
all
their
Deeds
to
the
Light
,
and
walk
in
the
Light
,
and
their
Deeds
are
wrought
in
God
,
never
to
be
condemned
.
And
such
as
loves
the
Light
receives
Christ
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
which
is
eternal
Life
,
and
none
comes
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
of
Christ
,
any
other
way
,
but
through
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
by
the
Operation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
evil
is
condemned
out
of
the
Heart
,
and
the
Heart
is
made
clean
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
God
is
received
into
the
clean
Heart
,
and
not
into
the
impure
;
for
without
Holiness
none
shall
see
God
,
nor
ever
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
him
,
neither
can
the
Knowledge
of
God
be
received
by
the
Traditions
of
men
,
or
any
outward
Observance
in
the
will
of
man
,
but
only
by
the
Teachings
of
the
eternal
Spirit
,
is
the
living
God
known
in
the
Creature
.
CHAP.

.
Concerning
Faith
,
this
Testimony
I
give
unto
the
World
.
FAith
is
the
Gift
of
God
,
and
by
it
Christ
is
received
and
enjoyed
;
it
is
the
Substance
of
things
hoped
for
,
and
the
very
Evidence
of
things
not
seen
,
gives
the
Creature
to
believe
God
in
all
what
he
hath
promised
;
all
that
which
is
acted
and
spoken
in
it
,
is
well
pleasing
unto
God
,
and
that
which
is
done
without
is
sin
;
it
is
the
strengh
of
the
Creature
to
act
for
God
,
in
all
things
;
It
is
that
whereby
the
World
is
overcome
,
and
all
the
Powers
of
Hell
and
death
;
it
is
the
Armour
against
the
Devil
,
and
the
defence
of
all
the
Children
of
God
,
by
it
they
overcome
all
their
Enemies
,
and
through
it
they
reign
over
all
the
World
,
it
carries
through
all
Sufferings
and
Tribulations
with
Joy
and
Patience
:
Faith
is
an
Act
of
God
in
the
Creature
,
through
it
Peace
and
Righteousness
,
and
the
Crown
of
Life
is
received
from
God
,
by
Faith
all
things
are
received
,
that
are
received
of
God
by
any
of
his
Children
:
He
that
hath
Faith
sees
and
feels
the
Lords
Presence
at
all
times
,
and
through
Faith
we
do
and
suffer
gladly
for
the
name
of
Christ
in
all
things
;
and
this
is
thus
far
our
Testimony
given
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
of
those
things
of
which
we
have
received
the
knowledge
from
God
,
who
hath
given
us
his
Treasure
,
and
we
have
this
Treasure
in
Earthen
Vessels
,
even
the
knowledge
of
those
things
which
are
Eternal
,
which
is
not
our
own
,
but
the
Lords
,
to
give
forth
according
to
his
movings
,
and
of
those
things
have
we
Handled
,
Tasted
and
Felt.

Concerning
what
Works
are
accepted
of
God
,
and
what
Works
are
not
accepted
,
brought
forth
by
the
Creature
WHatsoever
work
man
is
moved
and
led
unto
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
guided
and
ruled
in
the
practice
of
,
to
speak
or
act
whatsoever
,
by
the
same
Spirit
(
which
moveth
and
leadeth
into
all
the
works
of
righteousness
,
and
not
into
any
evil
)
this
is
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
these
works
are
well
pleasing
to
him
:
where
the
Lord
goes
before
,
and
is
the
leader
in
all
things
;
and
this
man
,
and
his
works
who
is
led
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
is
justified
and
accepted
of
God
,
and
not
for
the
Creatures
sake
,
who
respects
not
the
person
of
any
,
but
for
his
own
Name
sake
,
because
they
are
wrought
in
him
through
faith
,
and
is
moved
unto
,
and
guided
in
by
his
own
Spirit
,
and
they
arise
from
Gods
Righteousness
revealed
in
the
Creature
,
and
not
from
the
righteousness
of
the
Creature
;
for
man
being
changed
and
replanted
into
the
Living
Vine
,
and
the
Root
being
good
,
every
work
which
springeth
forth
from
it
,
is
good
also
,
and
accepted
of
God
,
because
the
Root
is
so
:
But
whatsoever
works
are
brought
forth
by
any
Creature
,
though
the
same
,
in
appearance
,
which
are
accepted
of
God
from
another
,
yet
not
being
moved
unto
,
nor
guided
in
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
but
brought
forth
in
the
will
and
wisdom
of
the
Creature
,
which
is
from
below
,
and
acted
in
imitation
from
the
Saints
words
;
these
works
are
not
accepted
and
well
pleasing
unto
God
,
but
is
offence
unto
him
,
and
sin
against
him
,
even
the
sacrifice
of
the
wicked
is
an
abomination
unto
him
,
and
if
a
man
come
before
the
Lord
with
thousands
of
Rams
,
and
ten
thousand
of
Rivers
of
Oyl
,
and
if
he
give
the
fruit
of
his
Body
for
the
sin
of
the
Soul
,
and
cover
the
Alter
with
tears
,
and
is
not
led
with
a
measure
of
Gods
Spirit
,
none
of
all
these
works
are
accepted
;
nor
his
Preaching
,
Praying
,
Baptism
,
nor
Breaking
of
Bread
,
nor
any
other
Observances
towards
God
whatsoever
,
are
not
good
in
his
sight
,
but
evil
,
and
to
be
contemned
,
and
the
Root
from
whence
they
spring
;
because
man
is
in
the
Enmity
against
him
,
and
not
changed
out
of
the
old
Root
,
nor
in
that
state
is
not
led
with
the
holy
Spirit
of
the
Father
;
and
the
Root
being
Bad
,
the
Branches
are
evil
;
and
none
are
accepted
of
God
in
any
thing
which
they
perform
towards
him
,
but
such
as
are
in
Christ
Jesus
,
the
second
Adam
,
and
such
are
new
Creatures
:
so
that
it
is
not
for
the
Creatures
sake
that
any
work
is
accepted
of
,
or
offence
against
God
,
but
only
for
his
Name
sake
,
and
because
of
being
guided
,
or
not
of
being
guided
with
the
Measure
of
Gods
Pure
Spirit
:
Therefore
is
man
,
and
his
works
good
,
and
accepted
;
or
evil
,
and
not
regarded
,
but
condemned
of
God
.

Concerning
mans
state
in
the
first
Adam
,
before
Conversion
,
and
his
state
after
Conversion
;
and
what
Conversion
is
.
MAns
state
in
the
first
Adam
,
in
transgression
,
is
a
state
of
perfect
enmity
against
God
,
and
Death
rigns
in
every
man
,
and
he
is
possessed
with
Blindness
and
Ignorance
,
and
unbelief
,
and
is
wholly
imperfect
to
receive
the
things
of
Gods
Kingdom
,
or
to
act
any
thing
for
God
,
acceptable
to
him
;
man
in
that
state
is
wholly
Dead
to
God
,
and
insensible
of
the
Presence
,
and
Power
,
and
Life
of
his
Creator
,
for
he
is
drove
from
God
,
and
is
not
led
by
him
;
he
hath
no
power
to
perform
any
good
in
the
sight
of
God
,
but
is
possessed
with
evil
,
and
led
into
all
evil
continually
;
he
is
free
from
righteousness
,
and
free
to
all
evil
,
being
the
servant
of
the
Devil
,
and
subject
to
him
,
and
overcome
of
him
every
moment
,
and
is
led
by
him
to
transgress
against
the
Lord
;
his
heart
is
unclean
,
and
out
of
it
proceeds
continually
uncleanness
,
in
all
manner
of
words
,
thoughts
,
and
actions
,
which
flow
out
of
the
corrupt
Fountain
,
which
grieve
and
vex
the
Lord
,
and
his
Spirit
,
who
is
dishonoured
daily
by
man
,
through
his
abuse
of
Gods
Creatures
,
who
is
a
Devourer
and
Destroyer
of
them
,
and
not
a
Preserver
as
he
ought
to
be
,
who
abuseth
them
upon
his
Lust
,
and
not
to
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
;
he
loves
the
Creature
,
and
worships
the
Creature
,
and
is
gone
a
whoring
after
the
Creature
,
and
hath
forgotten
God
,
that
made
him
,
and
all
things
,
and
hath
lost
his
own
dominion
wherein
he
was
set
in
his
Creation
;
and
his
state
in
his
Transgression
is
cursed
of
God
,
and
without
the
Peace
of
God
,
it
being
in
the
enmity
against
him
;
and
in
all
things
he
is
wholly
unprofitable
to
his
Maker
,
and
onely
profitable
to
himself
,
and
to
the
Devil
;
and
this
in
short
is
the
state
of
every
man
in
Transgression
before
Conversion
;
but
his
state
after
Conversion
is
a
State
,
more
blessed
;
for
man
is
changed
,
and
renewed
,
and
translated
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
through
the
working
of
the
eternal
Spirit
:
Through
Conversion
,
his
Mind
is
changed
and
his
heart
is
renewed
,
the
old
is
done
away
,
and
a
new
Heart
is
given
,
and
all
things
are
become
new
,
even
every
Word
and
Works
,
and
every
Intent
and
Purpose
of
his
Mind
is
converted
into
another
end
,
and
guided
by
another
Spirit
,
than
before
his
Conversion
;
and
man
is
again
returned
to
God
,
into
the
Sense
and
Feeling
of
his
Maker
,
and
into
Covenant
with
him
,
where
he
is
blessed
,
and
all
things
to
him
;
for
the
Reconciliation
is
made
with
God
,
and
the
evil
is
judged
and
condemened
,
and
Sin
is
taken
away
,
and
blotted
out
,
and
not
remembred
:
For
man
is
become
Servant
unto
God
,
and
onely
serves
him
in
all
things
,
and
not
himself
or
any
other
Creature
in
any
thing
,
for
he
hath
received
Power
to
become
Son
to
God
,
and
hath
received
Power
over
the
Devil
and
his
Temptations
,
and
Death
is
destroyed
,
and
the
effects
of
it
are
ceased
,
and
the
Sting
of
it
is
taken
away
,
and
Life
and
Immortallity
is
brought
to
Light
,
and
man
is
made
capable
to
act
in
all
things
,
for
the
Glory
of
his
Maker
;
and
God
hath
made
Christ
Wisdom
to
him
,
to
rule
him
and
guide
him
in
all
things
,
and
Righteousness
,
to
cover
him
;
&
Justification
to
him
,
to
clear
him
in
his
Sight
;
and
the
new
Man
is
brought
forth
,
and
the
creating
in
Christ
Jesus
unto
good
Works
is
known
,
and
the
Birth
which
is
Heir
of
Gods
Kingdom
is
witnessed
;
and
unto
this
man
is
the
Lord
become
an
everlasting
Light
,
and
a
sure
hiding
Place
;
for
he
is
not
the
Servant
of
Sin
,
but
of
Righteousness
,
nor
an
offence
to
God
in
any
of
his
Works
,
but
for
his
Names
sake
is
well
pleased
,
with
him
;
he
is
his
Teacher
in
all
the
ways
of
Peace
,
he
is
his
Helmet
,
and
his
Shield
,
and
his
hope
of
Salvation
,
and
his
Shepheard
to
feed
him
and
perserve
him
at
all
times
;
though
he
may
be
tempted
,
yet
he
is
not
overcome
,
for
God
is
his
strength
;
though
he
may
be
tryed
,
yet
he
is
not
forsaken
of
the
Lord
;
though
he
may
be
cast
into
the
Fire
,
it
is
not
to
consume
him
,
for
the
Lord
is
with
him
;
all
things
he
receives
as
from
the
Hand
of
God
,
and
all
Creatures
he
enjoyes
in
the
Covenant
with
God
,
and
Peace
is
in
all
his
ways
,
for
it
is
the
Lord
that
works
in
him
both
to
will
and
to
do
of
his
own
Good
Pleasure
;
and
this
is
the
state
of
the
new
man
brought
forth
in
Conversion
,
which
is
a
turning
of
the
Creature
from
the
power
of
Satan
(
which
rules
in
every
man
,
before
Conversion
)
to
the
Power
of
God
which
is
the
Ruler
of
every
man
that
is
truly
converted
;
and
this
is
the
Truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
which
I
have
received
from
God
,
he
that
can
receive
it
let
him
,
and
if
any
have
an
Ear
let
him
Hear
what
the
Spirit
saith
;
this
Conversion
of
the
Creature
is
wrought
by
the
Spirit
of
God
through
the
Ministry
sent
of
him
,
and
even
for
this
cause
have
we
received
the
Ministry
of
God
through
the
Holy
Ghost
,
that
we
might
publish
these
things
abroad
,
that
all
people
may
come
to
the
knowledge
of
them
,
and
may
taste
,
and
handle
,
and
feel
of
the
same
Word
of
Life
in
themselves
,
which
will
reveal
the
Knowledge
of
these
things
to
them
,
that
they
may
have
fellowship
with
us
,
and
truly
our
fellowship
is
with
the
Father
and
with
the
Son
.
And
now
be
it
known
to
all
the
World
,
and
to
all
people
in
it
,
that
the
Lord
hath
raised
up
a
People
,
and
brought
forth
a
Seed
,
to
bear
witness
of
his
Name
,
and
of
his
Dominion
,
and
Power
in
all
the
Earth
,
and
of
these
Truths
,
with
many
more
,
which
are
but
one
in
Christ
Jesus
,
hath
God
given
us
the
perfect
Knowledge
of
,
even
wrought
them
in
us
,
and
revealed
them
to
us
by
the
eternal
Spirit
,
and
as
that
same
Spirit
doth
,
and
shall
move
in
us
,
do
we
,
and
shall
we
bear
witness
of
these
Truths
unto
all
People
upon
Earth
whatsoever
,
both
by
Doctrine
and
Conversation
,
holding
forth
the
Testimony
unto
others
which
we
have
received
of
God
,
that
Christ
may
be
exalted
,
and
his
Kingdom
set
up
in
the
World
:
And
in
comparison
of
this
,
that
we
may
serve
God
in
our
Generation
,
by
bearing
witness
of
these
things
,
which
we
have
heard
and
seen
,
nothing
of
this
World
,
(
our
Liberty
,
our
Life
,
not
any
other
thing
whatsoever
)
is
dear
unto
us
;
yea
,
even
for
this
cause
that
the
Name
of
the
Lord
may
be
testified
of
,
do
we
give
up
our selves
continually
to
suffer
all
manner
of
evil
in
words
or
works
;
and
we
love
not
our
lives
unto
death
,
that
Truth
and
Righteousness
may
be
exalted
,
and
this
is
the
cause
wherefore
we
pass
through
many
Dangers
on
every
hand
,
and
are
in
perils
often
;
and
we
are
not
,
nor
cannot
be
afraid
of
the
face
of
any
man
,
even
that
the
Lord
alone
may
be
exalted
,
whose
name
,
and
Honour
,
and
Truth
is
more
dear
unto
us
than
any
other
thing
;
and
for
it
have
we
forsaken
all
,
and
counted
it
as
nothing
,
in
comparison
of
the
Knowledge
of
Christ
and
his
Truth
,
herein
declared
and
witnessed
to
the
whole
World
,
to
whom
it
shall
come
,
and
the
Light
of
Christ
in
every
one
shall
give
testimony
to
it
,
unto
which
I
do
onely
commend
my self
and
these
truths
to
be
witnessed
.
And
know
ye
assuredly
that
God
who
is
just
and
righteous
in
all
his
Ways
,
it
is
he
that
setteth
the
Way
of
Life
and
the
way
of
Death
before
every
man
,
and
he
hath
appeared
in
this
Generation
,
and
he
hath
caused
his
voyce
to
be
heard
in
the
Earth
,
and
he
hath
set
the
way
of
Death
and
the
Way
of
Life
before
you
,
and
all
that
perish
it
is
through
unbelief
;
and
because
they
do
despise
the
Way
which
God
hath
prepared
,
who
hath
prepared
a
Way
for
life
and
Salvation
unto
〈◊〉
People
,
that
all
may
come
to
Life
and
Salvation
,
and
may
not
perish
;
and
he
hath
not
shut
out
any
Creature
before
he
was
brought
forth
into
the
World
,
but
giveth
to
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
a
Day
of
Visitation
and
a
time
〈◊〉
Repentance
,
and
Returning
,
that
healing
may
be
received
from
the
Lord
,
w●●
is
the
Restorer
of
lost
man
,
and
there
is
not
another
;
so
that
if
man
perish
〈◊〉
is
of
himself
,
and
not
of
God
,
who
hath
so
loved
Mankind
,
that
he
hath
give●
his
Son
,
his
own
Wisdom
and
his
Power
,
into
the
World
,
that
all
that
doth
receive
him
(
Christ
Jesus
)
may
have
everlasting
Life
,
and
they
that
receive
him
not
,
they
perish
because
of
unbelief
,
whereby
they
are
hardened
for
destruction
;
and
unto
such
our
Gospel
,
the
Gospel
of
God
,
is
hid
,
whose
Eye
i●
blinded
by
the
God
of
this
World
,
that
they
cannot
see
the
things
which
be
eternal
,
nor
believe
in
him
from
whence
Life
comes
,
and
such
are
stumbling
at
Chri●●
the
Foundation
,
and
therefore
shall
be
broken
,
and
must
not
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
and
unto
such
though
they
be
wise
in
the
Kingdom
〈◊〉
this
World
,
are
we
become
Fools
for
Christs
sake
,
and
our
Testimony
cannot
be
received
by
them
,
nor
approved
of
them
,
even
them
that
seek
after
a
Sig●
and
them
that
seek
after
Wisdom
,
to
such
we
are
not
known
,
nor
can
our
Testimony
be
acceptable
to
them
,
which
is
not
with
enticing
words
of
mans
wisdom
,
〈◊〉
in
the
demonstration
of
Gods
Spirit
,
and
in
simplicity
of
Truth
,
which
is
of
gr●●●
Price
with
the
Lord
,
even
above
knowledg
,
and
all
wisdom
which
is
of
this
Wor●●
which
comes
to
nothing
;
but
the
Lord
will
confound
that
,
and
bring
it
to
nothing
;
for
the
World
by
its
wisdom
doth
not
know
God
,
neither
can
it
recei●●
the
things
of
God
,
but
is
Foolishness
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
and
the
wisdom
of
t●●
World
Must
be
offended
in
him
,
and
in
the
Testimony
which
is
given
of
him
,
〈◊〉
the
Princes
of
this
World
,
and
the
Wise
men
must
stumble
and
fall
,
the
powe●
of
the
Earth
must
be
offended

that

confounded

broug●●
to

;
all
the
Heathen
shall
rage
,
and
the
People
shall

But
what
of
all
this
?
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord
is
true
which
he
hath
given
us
〈◊〉
bear
of
his
Name
,
&
of
it
we
are
not
ashamed
before
the
face
of
the
whole
World
and
we
are
armed
to
suffer
for
it
,
and
not
onely
to
subscribe
to
the
truth
of
〈◊〉
with
our
hand
,
or
to
declare
of
it
with
our
Tongue
and
Pen
;
but
also
,
if
we
〈◊〉
called
to
it
,
may
seal
it
with
our
blood
:
Wherefore
this
is
sent
among
you
all
Rulers
,
Teachers
,
and
People
,
in
all
the
World
,
this
is
sent
among
you
,
as
to
gi●●
you
the
certain
knowledge
of
what
we
hold
,
and
bear
witness
to
,
which
is
received
of
us
from
God
,
and
born
witness
of
,
to
you
,
by
his
Spirit
,
even
those
thing●
with
many
others
,
which
we
have
not
received
from
man
,
but
from
God
,
are
〈◊〉
purposed
in
the
Lord
to
declare
abroad
,
and
he
hath
put
it
into
our
hearts
to
〈◊〉
his
Will
herein
;
for
he
hath
spoken
,
who
can
but
prophesie
;
and
he
hath
given
〈◊〉
word
,
and
many
are
they
that
publish
it
in
faithfulness
against
the
kingdom
〈◊〉
the
Man
of
Sin
,
which
hath
long
been
exalted
in
the
Earth
over
the
Seed
of
〈◊〉
,
which
the
Lord
is
now
a
gathering
,
and
establishing
his
Covenant
with
,
and
Ierusalem
that
hath
long
lain
waste
,
shall
be
made
the
praise
of
the
whole
Earth
,
〈◊〉
the
Gentiles
,
which
hath
polluted
her
,
shall
be
cast
out
,
and
the
Saints
shall
Rejoy●●
over
all
their
Enemies
.
And
know
you
assuredly
from
us
,
who
know
the
Lord
,
that
God
is
doing
gre●●●
things
in
the
Earth
;
he
is
begun
to
work
,
and
his
arm
shall
bring
it
to
pass
;
he
will
overturn
,
and
overturn
,
till
he
come
to
reign
whose
right
it
is
,
who
will
change
times
and
things
,
even
that
which
cannot
be
believed
,
though
a
man
declare
it
unto
you
,
is
the
Lord
bringing
to
pass
;
the
Eye
shall
bless
that
sees
it
,
and
the
Heart
shall
praise
that
can
understand
,
and
behold
the
Lord
comes
quickly
,
and
they
are
blessed
that
wait
for
him
,
whose
Reward
is
with
him
,
and
his
glorious
Work
is
before
him
to
be
wrought
by
his
own
hand
without
the
help
of
any
other
;
who
needs
not
the
help
of
man
;
and
he
that
doth
oppose
him
,
shall
be
overthrown
,
confounded
,
and
destroyed
.
And
again
,
All
ye
Kings
,
Princes
,
Rulers
,
and
People
whatsoever
,
know
ye
assuredly
that
we
are
not
Enemies
against
,
but
Friends
unto
all
Civil
Government
,
and
to
all
just
and
righteous
Orders
and
Decrees
,
and
wholsome
Laws
and
Customs
of
any
Common-wealth
,
and
no
way
are
we
destructive
to
,
or
Destroyers
of
the
Peace
,
and
Welfare
,
and
wholsome
Laws
(
which
is
according
to
God
)
of
any
Nation
whatsoever
.
But
are
Preservers
of
the
Peace
of
all
people
,
and
wait
in
patience
for
the
establishment
of
Justice
and
true
Judgement
;
and
that
Righteousness
may
spring
forth
,
and
the
Government
of
all
Nations
may
be
according
to
the
Law
of
God
.
Neither
are
we
such
who
makes
void
the
just
Government
of
any
Nation
or
City
:
Neither
are
we
such
who
through
evil
purposes
,
plot
,
or
conspire
,
or
contrive
Evil
in
our
Hearts
against
any
Governours
or
Government
whatsoever
;
but
wish
Peace
and
Truth
,
and
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
unto
all
men
and
Nations
,
and
desire
not
the
overthrow
or
evil
to
any
people
,
or
their
Government
:
but
are
subject
to
just
Government
everywhere
by
obedience
to
it
;
and
subject
to
evil
Government
by
suffering
in
patience
under
it
;
so
that
righteousness
alone
we
wait
to
see
set
up
through
the
World
,
and
for
that
cause
suffer
patiently
under
our
Enemies
,
not
seeking
revenge
against
them
,
nor
envying
the
persons
of
any
;
but
pity
our
enemies
,
and
desire
their
Repentance
rather
than
their
Destruction
:
Yet
this
we
give
all
to
know
,
that
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
on
all
them
who
hate
the
Way
of
Righteousness
,
and
all
that
oppose
the
Lord
and
his
Way
,
and
despise
his
Truth
which
he
hath
revealed
;
they
shall
be
confounded
and
broken
to
pieces
,
and
shall
confess
to
the
Lord
,
and
his
Way
,
and
his
Truth
in
the
day
of
their
Destruction
.
Again
,
let
all
the
Earth
know
,
that
against
all
unrighteousness
,
injustice
,
oppression
,
whoredom
,
murder
and
drunkenness
,
and
all
sin
whatsoever
;
we
do
declare
and
acknowledge
our selves
to
be
Enemies
against
all
sin
,
and
they
that
commit
it
,
and
we
cannot
hide
Sin
and
Iniquity
in
any
,
but
give
our
testimony
against
it
,
and
against
all
,
that
live
in
it
,
whatsoever
,
without
Respect
to
men
or
places
,
and
cannot
flatter
any
man
in
his
Transgressions
,
but
say
,
that
Lying
,
Swearing
,
Drunkenness
,
Covetousness
,
Jniustice
,
Dissimulation
,
Hypocrisie
,
Murder
,
and
Envy
,
Lust
of
the
Flesh
,
Pride
and
Wantonness
,
and
all
the
works
of
the
Flesh
whatsoever
,
are
contrary
to
God
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
and
they
that
lives
in
them
,
and
brings
them
forth
,
are
the
Servants
of
the
Devil
,
and
must
not
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
who
brings
forth
those
works
,
which
grieves
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
vexes
his
righteous
Soul
;
and
this
is
that
Government
onely
,
which
is
the
Government
of
Sin
and
Death
,
which
we
declare
our selves
Enemies
to
,
which
is
of
the
Devil
,
and
not
of
God
;
and
this
is
that
Government
which
we
testifie
against
,
and
war
against
,
by
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
by
his
Power
,
and
not
by
the
carnal
weapons
,
or
subtil
conspiracies
,
or
violent
Insurrections
,
for
this
way
,
and
by
this
means
,
shall
not
the
Government
of
Satan
be
overthrown
,
or
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
ever
exalted
.
Again
,
let
all
the
World
know
,
that
we
are
not
such
as
disanul
,
or
makes
void
the
Covenant
,
and
bond
of
Relations
,
or
teach
any
so
to
do
,
or
give
any
example
,
by
our
practice
,
to
any
subjects
to
be
rebellious
to
their
Governors
;
or
children
,
to
be
disobedient
to
their
Parents
;
or
that
servants
be
undutiful
to
their
Masters
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
do
say
,
and
affirm
it
,
that
it
is
the
duty
of
Subjects
,
to
be
obedient
,
and
subject
in
the
Lord
to
their
Rulers
and
Governours
,
whether
Kings
,
Dukes
,
or
others
,
who
have
rule
over
them
;
and
also
,
that
Children
should
be
obedient
to
their
Parents
;
and
Servants
to
be
dutiful
,
and
subject
to
their
Master
in
the
Lord
,
in
all
things
;
and
that
Husbands
and
Wives
live
in
all
unity
and
peace
in
the
Lord
:
Provided
onely
,
where
Rulers
Parents
,
or
Masters
,
or
Husbands
require
of
their
Subjects
,
Children
,
or
Servants
,
or
any
other
whatsoever
,
requiring
of
their
Relations
,
that
which
is
unjust
,
and
contrary
to
God
,
and
his
righteous
Law
;
in
such
a
case
we
say
,
that
Subjects
,
Children
,
Servants
,
and
all
other
whatsoever
are
free
,
and
we
say
,
where
man
requires
any
thing
contrary
to
God
,
and
God
requires
another
thing
contrary
to
man
,
the
obedience
to
God
is
rather
to
be
chosen
,
and
the
obedience
to
all
m●…
is
to
be
denyed
;
and
this
is
our
judgement
,
which
is
acording
to
truth
,
and
i●
the
mind
of
God
concerning
subjection
and
obedience
,
and
the
duty
of
Relations
one
to
another
.
And
lastly
,
Know
ye
assuredly
,
that
we
do
not
hold
and
maintain
any
thing
,
by
conversation
or
doctrine
,
but
the
very
same
Truth
in
word
and
practice
,
〈◊〉
all
our
fore-Fathers
did
,
but
bears
witness
of
the
same
Salvation
,
by
the
same
Christ
,
as
they
did
,
and
are
not
setters
forth
of
strange
gods
;
for
no
other
God
is
worshipped
by
us
than
he
,
which
Abraham
,
Isaac
and
Iacob
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
servants
of
the
Lord
in
every
generation
worshipped
,
served
and
obeyed
;
neither
are
we
such
as
do
maintain
Heresie
,
Error
,
or
Idolatry
,
or
the
worship
of
any
strange
god
,
though
hereof
we
are
accused
falsely
,
yet
against
us
cannot
it
be
proved
truly
;
and
this
we
give
the
whole
world
to
know
,
that
no
other
end
,
or
purpose
,
or
design
is
in
our
hearts
,
but
onely
to
fulfil
the
will
of
God
in
all
things
,
as
it
is
to
us
made
manifest
.
Even
this
is
the
resolution
of
our
hearts
,
and
the
full
purpose
of
our
minds
,
to
give
testimony
through
the
World
,
as
we
are
moved
,
both
by
writing
and
declaring
of
these
Truths
which
to
us
is
known
from
the
Lord
,
that
truth
and
righteousness
may
come
to
reign
;
and
this
may
we
do
〈◊〉
the
Lord
provideth
way
for
us
,
not
fearing
the
face
of
any
man
,
nor
being
afraid
of
the
threatning
of
high
looks
;
and
that
we
may
finish
the
testimony
given
〈◊〉
of
God
,
our
life
,
nor
any
other
thing
is
dear
unto
us
;
and
all
ye
people
every
where
,
for
your
sake
is
this
written
,
to
come
abroad
amongst
you
,
to
give
yo●
warning
,
and
true
information
of
the
work
of
the
Lord
,
and
what
he
is
about
to
do
,
that
you
may
hear
,
and
understand
,
and
may
receive
the
knowledge
〈◊〉
those
things
which
belong
to
your
peace
,
and
may
be
saved
with
an
eternal
Salvation
;
or
otherwise
,
through
this
are
you
wholly
left
without
excuse
,
if
yo●
perish
:
And
unto
this
was
I
pressed
in
spirit
for
many
days
,
that
all
the
World
may
be
satisfied
,
what
we
are
,
and
what
we
hold
,
and
what
the
purpose
of
the
Lord
is
;
and
I
whom
God
hath
warned
,
do
warn
all
people
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
that
you
prepare
,
prepare
to
meet
the
Lord
,
for
his
coming
,
and
his
day
is
nigh
at
hand
,
and
his
judgements
shall
be
revealed
in
the
Earth
,
&
all
flesh
shall
tremble
before
him
,
and
all
the
Inhabitants
of
the
World
shall
be
confounded
at
his
presence
;
The
Proud
shall
be
abased
,
and
the
Poor
shall
be
exalted
;
the
High
and
Lofty
shall
be
brought
down
,
and
the
Meek
and
Upright
shall
be
set
up
;
Truth
shall
reign
as
King
,
and
Deceit
shall
utterly
be
confounded
;
they
that
now
suffer
all
manner
of
evil
,
for
the
Name
of
Jesus
,
shall
possess
everlasting
Freedom
,
and
the
Dominion
shall
be
in
their
hands
,
and
they
that
now
cause
the
Just
to
suffer
,
shall
go
into
endless
captivity
;
the
Seed
of
God
shall
spring
forth
and
flourish
,
but
the
seed
of
Evil-doers
shall
never
be
renowned
:
And
betwixt
these
two
Seeds
is
an
e●mity
put
,
and
they
can
never
be
reconciled
,
each
seed
hath
his
fruit
,
the
one
i●
cursed
and
the
other
is
blessed
,
and
each
Seed
is
known
by
its
fruit
,
and
must
receive
from
the
Lord
accordingly
.
And
this
is
the
Testimony
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Witness
which
they
give
unto
all
the
World
,
of
those
things
which
we
have
handled
,
tasted
,
heard
,
seen
and
felt
;
blessed
are
all
they
that
can
receive
it
.
We
are
known
to
God
in
the
Spirit
,
and
one
to
another
in
his
Life
,
and
are
known
in
the
World
by
the
name
of
Quakers
,
cast
upon
us
through
the
derisio●
of
the
Heathen
.
But
Quaking
and
Trembling
at
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
by
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
we
do
own
,
when
the
power
of
God
reacheth
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
the
Creature
,
which
brings
condemnation
upon
all
high
looks
,
and
upon
the
lofty
nature
,
which
causeth
the
earthly
part
to
tremble
;
we
do
own
,
and
many
of
us
do
witness
,
the
Quaking
and
Trembling
which
is
by
the
operation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
several
operations
by
the
one
Spirit
we
own
:
which
brings
down
proud
flesh
,
whose
honour
God
will
lay
in
the
dust
,
and
bring
it
to
everlasting
contempt
,
and
when
this
comes
to
pass
Quaking
shall
not
be
a
strange
thing
,
nor
the
Name
reproached
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
by
the
proud
spirits
of
men
,
who
knows
not
the
work
of
the
Lord
,
nor
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
.
Moreover
,
and
beside
all
this
,
let
all
the
World
know
,
that
our
Conversion
,
Life
and
Practice
is
one
and
the
same
with
what
we
hold
forth
in
words
,
and
that
we
give
as
large
a
Testimony
of
God
amongst
us
,
by
pure
Conversation
,
as
Doctrine
,
and
do
deny
them
who
gives
Testimony
in
Words
only
,
and
answers
not
in
their
Conversation
,
for
that
is
Hypocrisie
,
&
our
souls
loath
it
;
&
it
is
abomination
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
where
he
is
profest
in
words
,
and
not
walked
to
in
purity
and
righteousness
of
life
;
for
Righteousness
being
brought
forth
in
the
heart
,
works
of
righteousness
will
spring
forth
in
the
World
,
and
where
Righteousness
springs
not
forth
in
the
World
,
and
the
fruits
of
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
it
shews
that
righteousness
is
not
in
the
heart
,
and
that
God
is
not
known
.
Also
concerning
our
Government
,
it
is
according
to
Christ
,
whom
we
own
to
be
Head
amongst
us
,
and
no
other
head
we
have
,
or
do
bow
unto
,
and
we
are
but
Members
of
his
Body
,
joyned
to
him
,
through
the
Spirit
,
as
Head
over
us
all
,
and
the
greatest
of
us
,
is
but
a
Member
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
Head
alone
;
and
we
have
not
another
,
neither
can
we
be
subject
to
any
other
Government
,
but
his
,
or
to
obey
any
Government
,
but
what
is
justly
according
to
his
,
whose
Government
must
be
set
up
in
the
earth
,
and
for
it
we
wait
,
and
labour
,
and
travel
,
and
counts
nothing
hard
,
but
all
things
are
easie
to
us
,
for
this
prise
which
is
before
us
,
even
the
Government
of
Christ
to
be
set
up
,
and
all
Governments
of
men
establisht
according
to
it
;
and
this
is
our
Testimony
which
we
give
forth
in
Words
and
Practice
,
and
if
it
be
required
can
Seal
it
with
our
Blood
.
And
this
is
written
for
no
other
end
,
but
that
you
may
be
certainly
informed
,
what
we
are
,
and
what
we
hold
,
and
what
the
Lord
hath
done
,
and
what
he
is
about
to
do
in
all
the
Earth
,
who
is
risen
and
hath
said
,
Ah!
I
will
ease
me
of
my
Adversaries
.

EDWARD
BURROUGH
.
THE
Wofull
Cry
OF
Unjust
Persecutions
,
and
grievous
Oppressions
of
the
People
of
God
in
England
,
through
the
Injustice
of
some
of
her
Rulers
,
and
the
Wickedness
of
Teachers
and
People
,
who
hasten
to
fulfil
the
Measure
of
their
Fore-fathers
Cruelty
.
With
a
Lamentation
over
them
all
who
reward
the
Lord
evil
for
good
,
and
is
a
Warning
to
them
all
for
Repentance
;
shewing
that
the
coming
of
the
Lord
is
nigh
.
And
this
may
serve
for
an
Answer
in
full
,
to
all
such
who
have
Persecuted
by
violence
,
by
Word
or
Writing
the
innocent
people
in
scorn
called
Quakers
.
With
a
Short
Addition
,
which
shewes
unto
all
,
the
ground
of
Persecution
,
in
its
first
cause
,
and
the
enmity
which
is
betwixt
the
two
Seeds
is
clearly
discovered
.
Reader
,
THis
is
sent
abroad
into
the
World
,
that
all
People
may
see
what
is
brought
forth
is
this
Generation
against
the
Innocent
;
who
suffer
cruel
things
for
well
doing
,
and
not
for
evil
;
and
the
words
of
Christ
are
fullfilled
,
who
said
,
As
they
have
done
unto
me
,
so
will
they
do
unto
you
:
And
the
time
comes
,
that
whosoever
kills
you
he
will
think
that
he
doth
God
good
service
.
And
this
is
now
come
to
pass
,
according
as
he
hath
said
,
to
our
rejoycing
,
and
to
the
sorrow
of
all
our
Enemies
.
And
as
any
is
moved
herein
,
this
is
to
be
given
to
the
hands
of
the
Persecuters
,
and
of
them
who
have
done
evil
against
the
Lords
People
,
as
a
gift
unto
them
from
a
Friend
.
OF
a
truth
the
Lord
is
arisen
,
and
he
hath
caused
the
Light
of
his
countenance
to
shine
forth
upon
his
people
,
his
day
is
dawned
,
and
the
brightness
of
his
glory
is
shining
forth
as
the
Sun
at
noon
day
,
h●…
everlasting
Arm
is
stretched
forth
to
lead
out
of
Captivity
his
o●…
chosen
,
the
days
of
perfect
freedom
is
approaching
,
he
that
brings
Health
,
Peace
and
Liberty
to
all
Nations
is
come
and
coming
,
who
will
restore
the
breaches
,
and
subdue
all
things
under
himself
,
that
he
may
raign
for
ever
and
ever
,
who
alone
is
worthy
(
for
he
hath
all
Power
in
his
hand
,
and
he
bring●
to
pass
whatsoever
he
will
,
that
all
Men
and
Nations
may
fear
before
him
,
and
tremble
at
his
dreadfull
Presence
,
who
hath
power
in
his
hand
)
to
change
Tim●…
and
Laws
,
Orders
,
Decrees
and

,
the

of
all

he
c●…
turn
what
way
he
listeth
,
and
he
pulleth
down
one
,
and
setteth
up
another
,
and
whatsoever
is
in
his
heart
to
do
,
his
power
can
bring
it
to
pass
:
who
would
not
fear
before
him
and
reverence
his
Name
?
Who
would
not
be
afraid
to
offend
him
?
who
giveth
unto
man
Breath
and
takes
it
away
in
a
moment
;
all
Nations
are
as
the
drop
of
a
bucket
before
his
eternal
Eye
,
he
dwells
in
the
high
and
holy
place
,
and
his
habitation
is
high
above
the
World
;
be
inhabits
eternity
forevermore
,
and
yet
abideth
,
and
walketh
,
and
dwelleth
with
the
children
of
men
,
that
fear
his
Name
and
tremble
at
his
Word
;
he
hath
been
as
a
stranger
,
as
one
not
known
,
for
men
have
been
seperated
from
him
by
transgression
,
and
have
been
ignorant
of
his
ways
;
he
hath
been
as
one
hidden
for
many
ages
,
and
hath
been
worshipped
ignorantly
,
and
hath
winked
in
the
time
of
ignorance
,
but
now
he
calleth
all
to
repentance
every
where
:
Blessed
are
they
that
wait
upon
him
,
that
they
may
know
him
,
and
their
souls
may
live
,
and
now
the
purpose
of
his
heart
,
is
to
bring
in
his
scattered
people
into
the
fold
of
peace
,
where
Christ
Jesus
is
the
shepherd
,
and
his
people
shall
dwell
in
safety
,
and
shall
be
a
free
people
,
to
worship
him
,
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
every
yoke
of
bondage
shall
be
broken
,
and
the
oppressed
shall
be
set
free
,
and
Christ
shall
feign
,
and
his
Government
,
above
shall
be
established
over
all
the
World
,
mans
honour
shall
be
laid
in
the
dust
,
&
the
pride
of
all
flesh
shall
be
stained
,
and
the
Glory
thereof
shall
wither
as
a
flower
,
the
loftiness
of
all
flesh
shall
be
laid
low
,
and
the
Lord
alone
shall
be
exalted
,
and
his
people
,
which
now
are
oppressed
,
shall
replenish
and
fill
the
Earth
:
All
corrupt
men
and
Rulers
their
strength
and
might
shall
utterly
fail
them
,
and
men
that
fear
God
and
love
righteousness
shall
take
their
place
,
and
all
things
shall
be
changed
,
and
the
World
shall
be
turned
up-side
down
.
But
because
of
this
is
all
the
World
troubled
,
and
the
Heathen
is
on
a
rage
,
and
the
people
do
imagine
vain
things
,
and
men
of
high
degree
,
and
low
degree
,
and
of
all
sorts
,
have
set
themselves
against
the
Lord
,
that
they
might
stop
the
purpose
of
the
most
high
,
and
their
hearts
within
them
burn
because
of
envy
,
and
the
Devil
hath
stirred
up
all
sorts
of
people
to
work
for
him
,
and
to
uphold
his
kingdom
and
his
power
,
he
is
come
down
in
great
rage
,
knowing
that
his
time
is
but
short
,
and
hath
filled
the
hearts
of
all
his
servants
with
despite
and
ravening
envy
against
the
Seed
of
God
.
The
heads
of
the
people
,
they
have
conspired
together
against
the
Lord
,
and
against
his
Truth
;
and
have
decreed
unrighteous
decrees
,
that
they
might
pervent
the
purpose
of
the
most
High
.
Many
of
the
Rulers
and
Judges
,
as
members
of
the
beastly
power
,
rather
than
of
Jesus
Christ
,
have
unjustly
judged
and
falsly
imprisoned
and
trodden
under
foot
the
meek
and
upright
,
who
fear
the
Lord
,
and
walk
in
his
way
;
even
such
who
have
come
from
under
the
subjection
of
the
worship
and
power
of
the
Beast
,
(
which
all
the
World
had
wondered
after
)
●ath
the
Beast
raised
his
force
against
.
How
many
hundreds
in
this
Nation
have
been
imprisoned
falsly
,
and
suffered
grievous
abuses
unjustly
for
righteousness
sake
,
and
not
for
evil
doing
,
as
a
testimony
against
this
Generation
of
Judges
and
people
,
and
for
a
testimony
that
they
are
of
God
,
who
have
in
pa●ience
born
the
sufferings
,
and
the
cruelties
of
the
wicked
;
many
have
suffered
●he
loss
of
Liberty
and
riches
,
and
some
the
loss
of
life
,
for
the
exercise
of
a
●ure
conscience
towards
God
,
and
for
the
Kingdom
of
Jesus
;
many
have
●uffered
under
the
power
of
wicked
men
,
for
declaring
against
sin
and
iniquity
,
〈◊〉
Townes
,
Steeple-houses
,
or
high
wayes
,
and
for
crying
against
pride
,
and
●anity
,
and
idolatry
,
and
coveteousness
,
and
the
wickedness
of
Rulers
,
Priests
,
●nd
People
,
whose
deceits
and
transgressions
hath
abounded
in
this
Generation
;
●nd
others
have
deeply
suffered
grievous
cruelties
,
because
they
could
not
swear
●nd
respect
persons
with
hat
or
knee
,
and
so
were
witnesses
for
the
Lord
and
his
Kingdom
,
which
stands
in
righteousness
;
and
against
the
power
and
kingdom
●f
the
Beast
,
which
stands
in
iniquity
,
in
fainedness
and
flattering
titles
,
and
●isobedience
to
the
Son
of
God
,
and
many
hundreds
are
woful
unjust
and
op●ressed
sufferers
at
this
day
,
by
false
imprisonment
and
spoiling
of
goods
,
because
they
cannot
pay
Tythes
,
that
abominable
and
crying
oppression
,
by
which
the
Beast
chiefly
maintains
his
false
Prophets
,
and
because
the
unchangable
Priesthood
is
witnessed
,
and
the
changable
denied
,
and
Christ
the
Light
of
the
World
followed
,
therefore
is
this
suffering
laid
upon
the
just
,
and
many
are
sufferers
under
hard
tasks
,
because
they
cannot
maintain
the
Idol
temples
,
and
Idol
worships
,
and
Idol
Priests
,
which
the
power
of
Antichrist
upholds
against
the
Power
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
against
the
new
Covenant
of
life
,
where
God
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
is
worshipped
without
respect
of
places
,
days
,
or
men
,
or
things
;
and
the
True
Worshippers
,
they
Worship
God
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
cannot
be
subject
to
days
,
places
,
or
things
,
appointed
and
ordained
by
the
power
of
men
and
false
prophets
;
and
how
many
unjust
fines
and
false
indictments
have
been
most
illegally
charged
upon
the
Innocent
,
in
many
Courts
and
Judicatories
through
this
Nation
,
and
all
in
the
defence
of
the
kingdom
of
the
man
of
sin
;
lest
his
authority
should
be
abated
,
and
the
Authority
of
Christ
Jesus
exalted
;
many
cruelties
have
been
done
,
and
injustice
acted
both
by
Rulers
and
People
,
against
such
which
no
evil
could
justly
be
charged
against
,
nor
yet
the
transgression
of
any
just
law
,
by
any
one
of
them
;
O!
horrid
grievances
and
cruel
oppressions
hath
been
brought
forth
in
this
Nation
,
by
such
who
should
have
eased
the

set
at

the
captives

such
who
should

judged
justly
the

O

in

Natio●
under
false
judgment

to
Ages

may

for
a

the

for
declaring
against

For

May
〈◊〉
Shame
cover
you
all
,
to
commit
men
to
Prison
for
the
exercise
of
pure
Conscience
towards
God
,
because
they
cannot
Swear
,
or
respect
mens
Persons
,
or
maintain
Idol-Shepherds
,
and
Idol-temples
and
Worships
,
which
are
Abominatio●
to
the
Lord
;
and
for
taking
peaceable
men
out
of
peaceable
Meetings
,
and
out
of
their
Travel
on
the
High-ways
,
and
first
Whipping
them
,
and
sending
them
to
Prison
,
the
example
of
this
which
you
have
done
,
never
went
before
in
any
Age
,
and
therefore
have
you
exceeded
in
Oppression
,
in
Injustice
,
in
Cruelty
and
false
Judgment
;
all
your
Fore-fathers
the
Pope
nor
Bishops
,
hardly
ever
brought
forth
such
things
;
but
the
Lord
will
reckon
with
you
,
and
plead
the
Cause
of
the
Oppressed
against
all
you
Oppressors
;
yea
,
and
will
give
unto
you
a
Recompence
of
Reward
according
to
your
works
;
ye
that
have
exalted
your selves
against
the
innocent
,
shall
be
brought
down
to
the
dust
of
misery
,
and
the
Saints
shall
reign
and
rejoyce
over
you
,
when
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
Jesus
the
Lamb
shall
be
set
up
over
you
all
,
and
your
Beastly
power
dashed
to
peeces
as
a
Potters
Vessel
,
when
he
whom
you
have
persecuted
,
and
his
Followers
,
shall
rule
with
a
Rod
of
Iron
,
and
break
you
asunder
;
and
this
shall
surely
come
to
pass
,
therefore
consider
it
,
ye
that
thus
deal
in
your
anger
against
the
Lord
and
his
chosen
,
for
the
Lamb
shall
get
the
victory
over
the
Beast
,
and
over
you
all
that
seek
to
defend
him
,
and
that
strive
under
his
power
;
for
they
that
are
with
the
Lamb
are
Called
,
and
Faithful
,
and
Chosen
:
O!
therefore
be
awakened
,
be
awakened
,
ye
Heads
;
and
Judges
,
and
Rulers
of
the
People
,
remember
and
repent
,
the
Lords
Hand
is
stretched
forth
against
all
Oppressors
,
and
his
Wrath
is
kindled
against
the
wicked
One
and
his
power
,
to
overthrow
his
dominon
which
long
hath
reigned
in
the
Nations
,
and
now
though
he
seeks
to
defend
himself
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
by
injust
dealing
,
yet
the
out-stretched
Arm
of
the
Lord
shall
bring
deliverance
to
his
Chosen
,
who
have
been
made
Havock
upon
,
in
their
Liberties
,
and
in
their
estates
,
some
cruelly
suffering
in
Prison
,
and
others
by
spoiling
of
their
Goods
,
and
none
of
these
for
Evil-doing
,
but
upon
false
Suspitions
,
and
envious
Jealousies
,
and
secret
Surmisings
,
without
any
ground
of
occosion
given
;
but
by
Wickedness
have
many
of
you
sought
occasion
to
make
Offenders
,
by
laying
Snares
for
the
Feet
of
the
Harmless
and
Innocent
;
you
have
made
men
Offenders
for
a
word
,
and
perverted
innocent
words
and
actions
,
that
you
might
make
to
your self
a
ground
to
persecute
,
and
have
sought
a
Cloak
to
cover
your
Cruelty
in
the
sight
of
men
,
but
naked
and
bare
are
your
hearts
made
manifest
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
who
hath
looked
down
from
Heaven
,
and
considered
these
things
,
and
hath
regarded
the
unjust
sufferings
of
his
people
whose
Liberties
,
and
estates
,
and
good
names
have
been
spoiled
through
injustice
,
by
grievous
burthens
laid
upon
some
,
because
they
could
not
pay
Tythes
(
that
hainous
oppression
)
to
satisfie
the
unmercifullness
of
cruel
men
;
and
many
suffers
at
this
day
,
unjustly
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
illegally
also
in
the
sight
of
men
;
and
some
suffer
the
spoiling
of
their
goods
,
rather
by
way
of
robbery
and
theft
,
than
by
just
execution
of
judgment
in
proceeding
of
just
Law
;
this
can
largely
be
witnessed
,
and
this
is
brought
forth
by
subservant
Officers
to
you
that
are
set
to
judge
,
and
you
to
them
are
evil
examples
,
and
strengtheners
of
their
malicious
hands
,
some
of
them
are
not
ashamed
to
take
six
times
the
value
of
what
is
unjustly
claimed
for
the
use
of
a
false
Teacher
and
deceitful
Hireling
who
rides
upon
the
Beast
,
and
make
you
their
servants
to
oppress
the
Poor
,
to
uphold
them
and
maintain
them
in
their
pride
and
vanities
,
but
the
Lord
hath
considered
these
things
,
and
he
hath
numbred
the
oppressions
against
you
,
wherewith
the
just
have
been
grieved
and
oppressed
under
you
,
he
hath
counted
this
cruelty
and
recorded
all
your
unjust
dealing
,
which
you
have
(
or
suffered
to
be
)
brought
forth
,
yea
the
day
of
account
hastens
and
the
tearm
draws
near
upon
you
,
wherein
the
just
and
righteous
Judge
of
Heaven
and
Earth
will
call
you
to
account
who
will
plead
the
cause
of
the
Poor
,
and
of
the
unjust
sufferer
,
and
oppressed
,
against
all
you
Oppressors
;
for
the
cry
of
the
Innocent
against
you
,
and
the
begging
of
the
Poor
is
heard
,
which
calls
for
vengeance
upon
you
.
In
the
Record
of
justice
,
what
account
will
you
give
to
the
Highest-power
,
who
rules
over
Heaven
and
Earth
,
for
imprisoning
just
men
for
crying
against
sin
,
and
declaring
against
the
wickedness
of
this
Age
;
this
shall
be
proved
against
you
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
;
Is
your
answer
ready
,
or
will
not
your
mouthes
be
stoped
and
you
speechless
,
when
righteousness
it self
pleads
against
you
?
And
what
can
you
plead
for
fining
men
,
and
imprisoning
them
,
for
not
respecting
your
persons
,
and
bowing
with
hat
and
knee
,
and
because
they
could
not
swear
;
this
hath
some
of
you
done
;
will
you
have
any
thing
to
say
in
the
cause
of
these
things
,
when
Christ
Jesus
comes
to
reign
and
his
Saints
with
him
,
unto
whom
the
government
and
the
authority
,
and
rule
shall
be
given
:
though
now
they
are
persecuted
,
and
as
the
refuse
of
men
accounted
by
you
,
unto
whom
they
are
become
a
prey
,
to
act
your
oppression
and
cruelty
upon
;
and
because
they
render
nor
evil
for
evil
,
therefore
is
the
impudency
of
some
men
the
more
encreased
,
and
their
hardness
of
heart
enlarged
;
and
because
judgment
is
not
speedily
executed
,
therefore
are
the
hearts
of
some
men
set
in
them
to
do
evil
.
O!
what
a
sad
reckoning
in
that
day
,
and
what
large
indictments
and
verdicts
for
your
oppression
,
will
be
read
against
you
,
and
proved
to
be
just
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
;
a
sad
thing
will
it
be
upon
you
,
when
laid
to
your
charge
by
the
Lord
,
for
causing
men
to
suffer
because
they
could
not
swear
,
nor
respect
persons
,
nor
uphold
the
deceits
of
false
Worships
and
Teachers
,
nor
cease
to
cry
against
sin
,
in
your
Towns
and
Steeple-houses
.
O!
be
stirred
up
out
of
your
security
;
you
Heads
,
and
Rulers
,
and
Judges
,
and
Officers
,
even
all
you
be
awakened
who
have
turned
your
sword
against
the
peaceable
,
and
been
a
terror
to
righteousness
as
much
as
you
could
,
which
you
ought
not
to
have
been
,
and
so
your
power
you
have
abused
,
and
subverted
it
to
another
end
than
wherefore
it
was
committed
to
you
:
instead
of
defending
the
upright
you
have
offended
him
;
and
instead
of
being
a
terror
to
the
wicked
,
his
hand
,
hath
been
strengthened
through
your
wicked
presidents
;
this
is
the
truth
,
as
the
Light
in
all
your
consciences
shall
witness
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
;
O!
how
hath
justice
and
true
judgment
been
neglected
,
and
oppression
and
cruelty
abounded
,
the
like
in
Generations
past
hath
not
been
known
,
but
the
Lord
is
now
arisen
,
and
hath
said
,
I
will
ease
m●
of
my
Enemies
,
and
take
vengeance
upon
my
Adversaries
,
who
have
done
wickedly
against
him
and
his
people
,
till
the
patience
of
the
Lord
is
near
an
end
,
and
his
long
suffering
finished
,
and
his
judgments
will
he
make
known
upon
his
Enemies
in
this
Generation
,
that
Ages
to
come
forever
may
be
warned
not
to
oppress
the
Innocent
,
as
these
have
done
by
false
accusations
,
and
unjust
judgments
,
and
wicked
proceedings
;
and
because
of
it
,
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
is
kindled
,
and
his
viols
of
indignation
shall
be
poured
upon
the
Beast
,
and
upon
the
false
Prophet
;
and
all
their
power
shall
be
smitten
in
one
day
.
And
O
what
wickedness
hath
abounded
in
the
people
also
,
to
help
up
the
measure
of
the
Rulers
sins
,
that
they
may
receive
their
recompence
together
;
how
have
the
people
of
all
sorts
abused
the
innocent
lambs
of
Christ
,
whom
he
hath
called
?
What
beatings
,
and
stonings
,
and
bruisings
,
and
other
abuses
,
in
Towns
,
and
High-ways
,
and
Steeple-houses
;
its
hard
to
be
expressed
,
and
large
to
be
declared
:
some
have
been
wounded
nigh
unto
death
,
others
bruised
till
blood
have
gushed
out
,
and
others
cast
down
in
the
dirt
,
and
punched
with
feet
,
and
troden
upon
,
and
many
have
been
in
danger
of
their
lives
;
some
have
been
knocked
down
with
staves
,
and
their
cloaths-rent
,
and
their
hair
torn
off
their
heads
;
and
some
have
been
pursued
after
,
with
throwing
stones
and
dirt
at
them
;
and
many
haled
,
and
tumbled
,
and
lugged
,
and
hurried
up
and
down
in
cruel
manner
,
to
the
danger
of
life
,
and
oppression
of
the
creature
;
and
others
have
been
whipped
,
and
lashed
,
and
put
into
cruel
torment
of
their
Bodies
,
by
Engins
framed
of
purpose
to
torment
the
Bodies
of
the
harmless
,
as
Chester
and
Carlile
may
witness
;
and
others
have
been
haled
before
Rulers
,
and
falsly
slandered
to
the
taking
away
of
life
,
if
the
Lord
had
not
prevented
more
than
the
mercy
of
men
,
and
having
been
unmercifully
and
unjustly
sent
to
prison
,
there
have
they
suffered
cruelties
from
the
Goalers
or
their
servants
,
by
beatings
,
or
punishings
,
or
threatnings
,
or
cruel
words
,
and
casting
into
Dungeons
,
and
great
abuses
shamefully
acted
upon
them
;
and
other
Prisoners
have
made
a
prey
upon
them
,
by
taking
away
their
cloaths
and
meat
,
and
beating
of
them
,
and
abusing
them
divers
ways
,
&
Murtherers
have
had
more
priviledge
of
freedom
in
prisons
,
and
in
tryals
,
than
these
who
are
Innocent
;
and
those
things
thus
acted
contrary
to
their
own
Law
,
have
passed
without
reproof
from
many
in
Authority
,
though
it
hath
been
brought
to
their
Door
,
and
in
this
manner
have
the
Children
of
God
,
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
been
persecuted
without
cause
,
or
any
evil
works
brought
forth
by
them
,
and
legally
proved
against
them
;
but
for
well-doing
,
and
not
for
evil
,
have
the
wicked
vented
their
malice
against
them
,
that
the
more
the
Beast
and
his
power
hath
fulfilled
wickedness
,
the
sooner
may
be
his
destruction
.
And
O
what
scorning
,
and
reviling
,
and
lying
,
and
slandering
,
and
evil
speeches
with
mockings
,
and
cruel
words
of
envy
,
and
tearms
of
cruelty
against
the
Innocent
,
hath
this
Generation
brought
forth
in
this
day
,
wherein
the
Dragon
with
his
Angels
hath
joyned
battel
against
the
Prince
of
Righteousness
,
and
they
that
follow
him
;
and
whole
Gog
and
Magog
is
gathered
together
,
to
compass
the
Camp
of
the
Saints
about
,
and
to
fight
against
the
beloved
City
,
the
Judges
and
Rulers
,
with
their
train
of
subservant
officers
,
as
Bayliffs
,
Clarks
,
Goalers
,
Constables
,
with
all
that
to
those
belonged
,
have
with
a
high
hand
persecuted
,
and
laid
oppressions
by
hard-heartedness
,
upon
the
backs
of
the
poor
and
distressed
,
and
the
Scorners
,
and
●iers
,
and
prophane
wretches
have
bent
their
tongue
against
the
Just
,
in
uttering
lies
,
slanders
,
reproaches
,
back-biting
,
nick-naming
,
and
false-accusing
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
speeches
,
and
false
reproaches
,
and
the
just
have
been
burthened
by
all
this
;
and
thus
they
that
have
been
departed
from
iniquity
have
been
a
prey
to
Rulers
to
act
their
injustice
upon
,
and
to
the
people
to
utter
their
slanders
,
and
to
do
cruelty
against
;
and
the
teeth
of
evil-doers
have
been
set
on
edge
,
to
bite
and
devour
,
and
to
satisfie
their
maliciousness
upon
the
sufferings
of
the
upright
people
;
and
from
the
Judge
upon
his
throne
,
to
the
begger
upon
the
high-way
,
all
have
had
their
hand
dipped
in
this
cause
of
cruel
and
unjust
persecution
,
and
the
Lord
hath
considered
and
harkened
from
his
holy
Habitation
,
and
numbered
up
the
sum
of
all
your
iniquities
that
he
may
repay
and
recompence
upon
your
heads
;
wo
unto
you
unjust
Judges
,
and
corrupt
men
,
who
have
abused
your
power
.
And
wo
unto
all
that
do
oppress
by
hard
dealing
,
who
have
offended
the
just
,
and
defended
the
unjust
:
Wo
unto
all
you
scorners
,
lyers
,
back-biters
,
and
repoachful
tougues
;
the
Lord
is
coming
to
take
an
account
.
Your
sins
cry
for
vengeance
against
you
,
and
though
your
hands
and
tongues
have
been
strengthened
to
speak
and
act
ungodliness
,
by
the
evil
example
of
your
Rulers
,
yet
your
own
iniquity
shall
you
bear
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
and
though
your
Rulers
and
Judges
have
been
strengthened
in
their
unjustness
and
mercilesness
,
by
the
false
lying
Teachers
and
Diviners
of
false
visions
,
which
have
seen
vanity
,
yet
their
own
iniquity
shall
they
bear
,
and
every
man
shall
die
for
his
own
sin
;
Wo
unto
your
Teachers
,
they
have
eaten
up
the
sin
of
Rulers
and
people
,
and
covered
iniquity
and
transgression
,
by
flattering
and
lying
words
;
they
have
daubed
with
untempered
morter
,
and
healed
up
the
wound
deceitfully
,
and
cryed
peace
,
peace
,
to
the
wicked
,
that
have
walked
in
the
imaginations
of
their
own
hearts
,
when
unto
such
the
Lord
never
spake
peace
.
And
now
whereas
the
Rulers
and
people
have
stretched
forth
their
hands
to
vex
the
Lords
people
,
&
have
through
unjust
judgment
,
and
grievous
oppressions
,
and
unmercifull
dealings
,
troden
the
Innocent
under
foot
,
and
made
them
a
prey
to
their
mouth
,
and
divers
ways
have
persecuted
in
cruel
manner
the
Followers
of
the
Lamb
;
yet
also
have
the
wise
men
of
this
World
,
even
the
Priests
and
Teachers
,
who
have
led
the
people
,
and
have
caused
them
to
err
,
and
have
set
themselves
as
in
battel
array
against
the
Lord
and
his
way
and
people
;
How
have
you
hardened
your
hearts
,
and
made
your
fore-head
as
brass
,
against
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
you
have
been
as
the
fountain
of
all
this
wickedness
acted
against
the
Just
,
and
strengtheners
of
the
hands
of
ungodly
men
;
the
Heads
and
Rulers
you
have
strengthened
in
their
cruelty
,
of
false
judgments
by
your
arguments
of
strife
;
in
subtilty
you
have
been
as
nursers
of
all
this
Persecution
and
Wickedness
,
and
have
interceded
for
oppression
,
to
cause
the
Just
to
groan
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
raised
to
testifie
against
you
;
the
Judges
they
have
given
regard
unto
you
,
and
the
people
they
have
taken
you
for
examples
,
who
have
been
cursed
presidents
to
the
Rulers
and
people
,
who
have
followed
your
cruel
steps
of
malice
and
envy
;
and
from
the
head
to
the
tail
,
they
have
drunk
in
your
,
poysonous
Doctrines
;
and
made
themselves
drunk
therewith
,
and
out
of
reason
,
in
their
furious
zeal
of
madness
,
and
all
have
taken
council
together
to
slay
the
harmless
from
off
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
some
by
false
judgment
and
oppression
,
and
others
by
cruel
abusings
,
as
beatings
,
and
stonings
,
unheard
of
,
or
unequalized
in
Generations
of
late
.
O
ye
Priests
,
and
Teachers
,
and
Wise-men
,
and
Scribes
!
how
many
of
you
in
this
Nation
joyned
hand
in
hand
to
betray
the
Innocent
,
by
your
false
Doctrines
and
lying
Divinations
,
and
have
filled
,
(
and
sought
to
do
so
)
the
mind
of
the
people
with
slanders
and
false
reproaches
,
&
lying
imaginations
,
and
many
conceptions
,
and
jealousies
against
the
people
of
God
;
many
of
you
have
made
it
your
study-work
,
to
bring
forth
evil
by
cunning
Arguments
,
to
suggest
into
the
hearts
of
people
,
that
they
might
not
enter
the
Kingdom
,
and
even
so
have
you
been
shutters
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
,
and
would
not
enter
your selves
,
nor
suffer
others
that
would
.
Wo
unto
you
,
you
have
taken
away
the
Key
of
Knowledge
,
and
lost
it
,
and
multitudes
of
false
Aspersions
,
and
lying
Assertions
have
you
brought
forth
without
fear
,
by
wicked
consequence
and
lying
productions
,
that
you
might
take
away
the
key
of
knowledge
thereby
,
and
hide
it
from
men
,
and
lay
stumbling-blocks
of
Iniquity
before
the
people
,
to
stop
the
way
of
the
Upright
,
and
you
have
travelled
to
seek
occasions
of
evil
against
the
Just
,
and
watched
for
the
halting
of
the
Innocent
,
that
you
might
glory
and
rejoyce
in
their
fall
,
and
without
any
occasion
,
by
words
or
actious
,
you
have
taken
offence
,
and
made
offences
by
evil
surmisings
,
to
blind
the
eyes
of
people
,
that
your
Idolatry
might
not
be
discovered
,
nor
the
Way
of
Righteousness
shine
forth
.
O
be
ashamed
and
repent
,
for
to
account
must
you
Come
,
and
the
sin
of
Rulers
and
people
,
whom
you
have
blindy
led
,
will
be
charged
against
you
,
who
have
given
them
wicked
examples
,
of
cruelty
in
your
Pulpits
;
you
have
spent
time
in
Railing
,
and
Slandering
,
and
Lying
,
to
infuse
evil
into
the
minds
of
men
,
against
the
Truth
,
and
many
books
have
you
given
forth
,
and
sent
abroad
from
your
lying
Pens
,
outof
your
vain
studies
,
of
false
prophesie
,
and
mens
hearts
have
been
filled
with
your
damnable
Doctrines
of
Devils
,
wherewith
the
Simple
have
been
poysoned
,
and
the
Innocent
betrayed
;
even
great
numbers
of
Books
,
and
lying
Scroules
have
gone
through
the
Nation
from
some
of
you
,
filled
with
false
Divination
,
and
intents
of
evil
,
against
the
Way
of
the
Lord
and
his
people
,
and
worse
than
Balaam
,
and
far
exceeding
him
have
you
been
:
you
have
sought
e●chantments
to
curse
the
people
whom
God
hath
blessed
altogether
,
and
some
of
you
have
done
it
to
your
evil
reward
of
your
evil
work
:
and
you
have
not
known
that
there
is
no
divination
against
the
holy
Seed
.
O●
what
will
become
of
you
when
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
plead
with
you
〈◊〉
these
things
,
the
cruelty
and
oppression
of
the
Rulers
shall
be
added
〈◊〉
your
account
,
and
the
sin
of
the
people
which
you
have
swallowed
down
,
it
shall
be
laid
to
your
charge
;
for
you
have
strengthened
the
hands
of
Evil-doers
,
so
that
none
could
turn
from
his
evil
way
,
but
have
by
y●…
been
hardened
therein
,
and
from
you
prophaness
have
gone
forth
to
the
ends
of
the
Earth
.
Woe
,
woe
,
is
approaching
,
what
account
will
yo●
render
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
?
you
will
all
be
speechless
in
that
day
,
wh●…
the
swift
Witness
doth
arise
;
therefore
to
all
you
I
am
moved
to
write
,
who
have
set
your selves
to
gain-say
the
Truth
,
and
to
write
against
the
people
of
the
Lord
,
whom
you
call
Quakers
,
who
walk
in
the
Truth
,
and
have
received
the
Truth
from
the
Lord
,
whom
you
have
reproached
and
slandered
in
secret
,
and
also
in
open
print
,
in
the
face
of
the
World
,
and
have
laid
many
cruel
and
false
Charges
and
Accusations
against
them
,
and
to
all
that
hath
,
or
ever
shall
hereafter
bend
your
tongues
and
pens
,
to
utter
wickedness
and
falshood
by
writing
or
otherwise
.
Repent
,
and
cease
your
wickedness
,
for
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
is
kindled
against
you
,
and
take
this
for
an
answer
in
full
to
all
your
Books
,
and
false
reproaches
;
we
are
of
God
,
and
he
that
is
of
God
heareth
us
,
and
the
whole
World
lies
in
wickedness
,
and
we
have
the
Testimony
that
we
please
God
;
and
he
is
our
God
,
and
we
are
his
People
,
and
he
hath
Chosen
us
,
and
we
have
Chosen
him
,
and
the
Name
of
the
Lord
is
our
strength
,
and
his
Covenant
of
Life
is
with
us
,
and
among
us
hath
he
fullfilled
his
promise
,
and
his
Spirit
is
poured
forth
,
and
sons
and
daughters
do
Prophesie
,
and
one
King
reigns
upon
mount
Sion
,
and
the
night
to
us
is
far
spent
,
and
the
day
is
dawned
,
and
the
darkness
of
the
night
,
which
long
hath
overshadowed
the
World
,
in
which
no
man
could
work
is
from
us
fled
,
and
the
marvellous
Light
is
risen
,
and
we
are
them
whom
God
hath
gathered
according
to
his
promise
,
Ezik.

from
the
mouthes
of
Idol-shepherds
which
once
made
a
prey
upon
us
,
and
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
is
revealed
,
and
the
time
is
come
of
Restoration
,
and
of
bringing
back
out
of
the
captivity
of
darkness
,
where
all
have
lain
,
with
a
vail
of
darkness
spread
over
all
their
faces
,
and
we
are
eye-witnesses
of
his
glory
,
and
it
is
given
us
to
taste
,
and
feel
,
and
handle
the
Word
of
Life
,
which
lives
for
ever
;
therefore
I
say
unto
you
all
,
it
is
a
little
thing
to
us
,
and
not
respected
,
to
be
reproached
by
you
;
our
life
you
cannot
reach
,
nor
our
glory
deface
,
and
you
we
know
to
be
them
who
God
never
sent
,
but
must
fulfill
your
measure
of
wickedness
,
till
the
time
of
your
overthrow
,
which
draws
near
upon
you
all
,
and
despisable
shall
you
be
to
all
that
fear
the
Lord
,
and
love
his
ways
,
for
your
nakedness
and
shame
shall
be
uncovered
,
and
them
that
have
loved
you
shall
be
filled
with
the
indignation
of
the
Lord
against
you
,
all
your
writings
,
and
Books
,
and
lyes
,
and
slanders
,
and
false
reproaches
uttered
in
publick

private
,
shall
go
into
the
pit
from
which
they
came
,
and
shall
return
upon
your
own
heads
,
and
when
your
vail
of
slanders
and
false
aspersions
is
taken
off
,
then
shall
we
(
as
we
are
)
appear
,
and
till
then
all
your
evill
brought
forth
against
us
we
bear
in
patience
,
and
love
your
revilings
rather
than
your
praise
;
wherefore
with
shame
put
off
your
armour
,
and
lay
down
your
crownes
,
and
stop
your
mouthes
in
the
dust
,
and
bow
and
Tremble
before
the
Just
God
,
and
before
the
Lamb
,
who
is
risen
to
make
war
against
the
Beast
,
and
against
you
his
false
Prophets
,
whose
Generation
must
grow
feeble
,
and
become
weakness
in
this
the
day
of
the
Lord
;
your
time
is
at
an
end
,
wherein
it
was
given
you
to
reign
,
and
to
seduce
and
deceive
the
Nations
;
and
now
shall
the
Son
of
God
be
exalted
,
and
the
kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
become
the
Kingdoms
of
Christ
:
hear
and
consider
this
,
all
ye
that
exalt
your selves
against
the
Lord
and
his
way
,
and
are
established
in
the
throne
of
unrighteousnes
,
under
the
beastly
power
;
if
any
man
hath
an
ear
to
hear
let
him
hear
;
the
light
is
risen
,
and
these
things
are
made
manifest
,
and
with
the
light
of
the
World
,
in
all
men
shall
they
be
witnessed
to
be
truth

as
they
are
at
this
day
;
and
if
you

the
changing
of

here
you

this
is
a
Word
from
the
Lord
God
:
Repent
,
repent
,
for
evil
have
you
done
in
his
sight
,
and
vext
his
Soul
,
and
grieved
his
Spirit
,
and
heaped
up
wrath
against
the
day
of
wrath
,
and
multiplyed
your
transgressions
,
and
the
measure
of
your
Iniquities
are
well
nigh
filled
up
;
ye
have
set
your selves
against
the
Lord
,
and
your
hands
you
have
strengthened
against
his
people
,
you
have
rejected
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
and
you
have
not
regarded
the
day
of
your
Salvation
,
you
have
plainly
made
it
manifest
that
you
are
of
that
Generation
which
killed
the
just
,
and
that
you
are
of
the
seed
of
evil-doers
,
the
works
you
have
brought
forth
do
plainly
declare
that
you
will
not
have
Christ
to
reign
amongst
you
,
nor
his
Government
to
rule
over
you
,
who
have
thus
persecuted
the
Innocent
without

,
by
false
imprisonments
,
and
false

,
and
hard
dealings
,
and

consider
your
ways
,
and
what
you
have
done
,
search
your
hearts
,
and
let
it
take
place
in
you
all
,
how
have
you
persecuted
the
just
,
how
have
you
stretched
forth
your
hands
and
dealt
cruelly
and
violently
with
the
meek
of
the
Earth
?
how
have
you
troden
under-foot
the
poor
and
needy
,
and
greatly
oppressed
the
upright
hearted
,
who
have
not
rendred
evil
for
evil
,
but
forgiven
you
,
&
prayed
for
you
,
&
wished
well
unto
you
,
and
born
in
patience
(
without
complaining
)
●…ll
your
injustice
and
cruelty
,
and
have
not
sought
vengeance
against
you
,
even
such
hath
God
chosen
more
than
many
,
and
them
you
have
despised
and
persecuted
more
than
any
,
and
laid
heavy
bonds
of
oppression
upon
them
,
and
doubled
their
task
through
your
hard-heartedness
,
least
the
Seed
of
God
should
grow
;
grieveous
yoaks
have
you
laid
upon
it
by
false
imprisonments
,
and
unjust
fines
,
and
illegal
proceedings
,
by
beatings
,
halings
,

O!
consider
what
you
have
done
?
and
suffered
to
be
done
under
you
;
lay
it
to
heart
what
havock
of
the
people
of
the
Lord
in
their
persons
and
estates
,
and
what
cruelty
exercised
upon
them
through
your
rebellious
hearts
,
without
any
evil
justly
charged
upon
them
,
or
breach
of
any
Law
justly
proved
against
them
,
for
well-doing
,
and
not
for
evil
have
you
caused
them
to
suffer
:
〈◊〉
crying
against
iniquity
,
and
reproving
sin
in
the
Gate
,
&
for
bearing
witness
〈◊〉
the
Truth
,
and
against
all
unrighteousness
which
abounds
in
this
Generation
;
such
have
you
falsly
judged
to
be
offenders
,
and
cryed
a
confederacy
agai●…
them
,
and
strengthened
the
hands
of
the
wicked
,
and
caused
the
Innocent●
groan
.
O!
what
will
you
do
in
the
day
of
your
visitation
,
when
the
Lord
aris●…
to
plead
with
you
;
to
whom
will
you
fly
for
refuge
,
and
to
whom
will
you
cry
〈◊〉
deliverance
?
Shall
not
the
Lords
soul
be
avenged
upon
you
,
yea
from
the
least
of
you
to
the
greatest
?
You
shall
feel
his
hand
of
judgment
,
even
all
you
who
ha●…
had
your
fingers
dipped
in
the
unjust
sufferings
of
the
dear
Servants
of
the
Lord

whom
he
hath
called
to
place
his
Name
with
for

,
who
are
his

Witnesses
in
this
perverse
Generation
,
and
by
your
persecuting
of
them
ha●…
you
proved
them
to
be
the
people
of
God
,
in
the
sight
of
all
Nations
;
and
it
〈◊〉
for
a
testimony
unto
them
,
that
they
are
of
God
;
and
against
you
,
that
you
〈◊〉
of
the
Devil
;
and
Christs
words
are
fullfilled
upon
them
,
to
their
rejoyci●…
and
to
your
sorrow
,
who
said

The

comes

that
they
shall
speak
all

evil
falsly

persecute
you

service
that
kills

casts
you
from

the
Devil
shall
cast
some
of
you
into
prison

And
th●…
things
you
have
done
,
and
fullfilled
Christs
words
against
your selves
,
for
〈◊〉
witness
against
you
,
and
to
shew
that
you
are
Enemies
to
Christ
,
and
to
his
Kingdom
,
and
that
you
will
not
have
him
to
reign
(
as
I
have
said
)
:
Therefore
wh●…
he
reigneth
,
he
shall
say
,
Bring
hither
those
mine
Enemies
,
and
slay
them
before
me
.
O!
what
will
the
just
Judge
of
true
Judgment
,
the
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
render
unto
you
,
when
he
ariseth
to
plead
the
cause
of
the
poor
and
needy
,
and
to
deliver
his
Inheritance
from
under
your
oppression
into
perfect
freedom
?
What
account
will
you
give
in
that
day
,
when
he
brings
swift
destruction
upon
you
?
And
wherewith
will
you
answer
him
when
the
secrets
of
your
hearts
are
made
manifest
,
and
when
the
true
witness
in
you
all
is
awakened
,
which
will
bring
to
your
remembrance
all
your
cruel
and
unjust
dealing
,
and
all
your
bitter
and
hard
speeches
which
in
your
envy
you
have
brought
forth
against
the
Lord
and
against
his
people
?
What
will
be
done
to
you
his
Enemies
,
when
Christ
Jesus
,
whom
you
have
persecuted
,
comes
to
reign
in
his
Kingdom
,
and
subdues
the
kingdoms
of
this
World
,
and
changeth
them
into
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Christ
,
and
the
Saints
which
you
have
oppressed
,
receives
the
Authority
and
Dominion
?
It
shall
be
said
,
All
that
would
not
that
Christ
should
reign
,
slay
them
before
him
;
when
it
shall
be
given
to
the
Saints
to
bind
Kings
in
chains
and
Nobles
in
fetters
of
iron
,
and
to
execute
upon
the
Heathen
all
the
judgments
written
;
for
behold
all
ye
stout
hearted
,
the
Lord
cometh
in
ten
thousand
of
his
Saints
to
judge
the
World
in
righteousness
,
and
you
shall
be
convinced
of
all
your
ungodly
deeds
;
for
the
Scriptures
must
be
fullfilled
;
and
as
you
have
done
,
even
so
will
it
be
done
unto
you
,
when
the
suffering
of
the
righteous
is
finished
,
and
your
wickedness
come
to
an
end
;
when
the
Lord
shall
reign
,
you
shall
lick
the
dust
off
his
feet
,
and
all
the
Persecuters
of
Christ
shall
be
trodden
down
as
mire
,
and
the
righteous
shall
rejoyce
over
them
,
and
the
Lord
shall
mock
when
your
fear
and
calamnity
comes
,
which
come
suddenly
,
in
a
day
when
you
expect
not
;
how
shall
the
Lord
pardon
you
for
this
?
you
have
sinned
against
knowledge
,
and
gone
on
after
warning
,
and
hardened
your
hearts
after
reproof
,
and
the
day
of
your
visitation
you
have
greatly
slighted
;
ye
Rulers
have
abused
your
power
,
and
ye
subjects
have
abused
your
subjection
;
and
now
consider
what
God
did
in
Generations
past
unto
the
rebellious
children
,
what
he
did
to
Pharaoh
and
all
his
Hosts
,
when
his
long
suffering
was
finished
;
how
did
Pharaoh
harden
his
heart
,
and
his
cruel
Task-masters
oppress
the
righteous
,
even
as
you
have
done
,
and
they
would
not
let
Israel
go
free
to
serve
the
Lord
,
but
they
kept
them
in
bondage
;
and
this
way
you
walk
,
who
exercise
cruelty
as
they
did
,
and
laid
heavy
burthens
upon
the
Innocent
grievous
to
be
born
;
cruel
task-masters
have
you
been
over
the
Heritage
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
Pharaohs
example
of
wickedness
have
you
walked
,
fulfilling
his
measure
of
cruelty
,
and
Pharaohs
example
shall
you
follow
in
a
cursed
end
;
remember
how
the
loftiness
of
his
heart
was
bowed
down
,
and
how
his
proud
heart
was
abased
in
the
day
that
God
pleaded
with
him
in
his
righteous
judgments
,
he
and
all
his
task-makers
were
confounded
in
a
day
,
and
the
bondage
of
the
righteous
was
broken
in
a
moment
,
how
was
his
whole
strength
of
Tyranny
overturned
and
turned
into
weakness
,
the
righteous
were
delivered
,
and
he
and
all
his
train
overwhelmed
in
one
day
,
and
thus
shall
it
come
to
pass
upon
you
:
Therefore
consider
this
,
all
ye
that
fullfill
the
measure
of
iniquity
,
suddenly
will
the
righteous
God
be
awakened
to
take
vengeance
upon
you
,
and
the
just
shall
not
always
groan
under
your
bondage
,
for
he
that
looketh
from
the
Heaven
hath
pity
upon
the
distressed
,
for
whom
now
his
arm
is
stretched
out
to
bring
deliverance
unto
them
,
and
all
their
enemies
will
be
confounded
,
who
have
this
long
time
ploughed
long
furrows
upon
the
back
of
the
righteous
,
the
oppression
;
and
cruelty
,
and
injustice
,
brought
forth
in
this
Nation
,
it
calls
for
vengeance
from
Heaven
.
Alas
,
alas
,
woe
is
me
for
you
,
you
Heads
,
and
Rulers
,
and
Judges
of
England
,
what
have
you
done
and
suffered
to
be
done
(
under
you
)
against
the
innocent
people
of
God
,
who
is
as
dear
to
him
as
the
apple
of
his
eye
?
for
they
be
written
on
the
palms
of
his
hands
,
and
because
of
the
cry
of
the
poor
and
the
needy
will
the
Lord
arise
and
plead
their
cause
.
Oh
consider
,
and
let
it
enter
into
your
hearts
,
the
cruelty
and
injustice
that
hath
been
brought
forth
in
this
Land
,
and
remember
what
God
did
unto
all
the
Persecuters
of
old
,
how
was
their
strength
consumed
,
and
they
overturned
and
destroyed
,
what
did
he
to
Pharaoh
and
all
his
host
,
who
persecuted
the
Seed
of
God
?
how
was
he
destroyed
and
the
righteous
set
free
;
and
what
was
done
to
Haman
?
How
was
he
justly
rewarded
,
who
persecuted
the
Innocent
Seed
of
God
?
What
did
God
to
Herod
and
all
his
people
who
persecuted
the
Innocent
?
and
remember
what
he
did
unto
them
that
persecuted
the
Three
Children
,
and
them
that
persecuted
Daniel
,
how
did
they
fall
into
the
pit
which
they
had
digged
for
another
,
and
how
were
they
destroyed
,
and
the
Innocent
delivered
,
considered
and
remember
these
things
,
ye
that
suffer
the
Just
to
groan
by
you
.
Search
through
the
Records
of
old
,
and
search
what
God
hath
done
unto
all
them
that
lifted
up
their
hand
against
Him
and
his
People
,
and
is
he
not
the
same
at
this
day
,
his
Hand
is
not
shortened
that
it
cannot
save
his
people
,
and
destroy
his
Enemies
,
his
Ear
is
not
dull
of
hearing
that
he
should
not
understand
this
unjust
suffering
of
his
people
,
though
you
live
carelessely
in
pleasure
upon
Earth
,
while
the
Innocent
mourns
,
yet
doth
the
Lord
regard
,
though
you
spend
your
time
in
pleasure
,
and
delight
your selves
in
vanities
all
the
day
long
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
taken
it
to
heart
,
and
his
Spirit
is
grieved
that
his
Innocent
Servants
should
lye
in
Holes
and
Dungeons
to
be
trodden
upon
,
and
be
accounted
as
the
off-scouring
of
all
things
,
hardly
thought
worthy
to
have
a
place
on
the
Earth
.
Oh
remember
these
things
,
ye
that
are
high
minded
,
and
consider
what
God
did
to
the
Bishops
and
their
crew
of
persecutors
in
this
Nation
,
your selves
are
witnesses
how
the
Lord
overthrew
them
,
and
delivered
his
people
in
a
few
years
time
;
and
as
little
as
you
,
did
they
think
,
that
they
whom
they
persecuted
should
so
soon
come
to
have
reigned
over
them
,
the
Lords
Hand
was
then
against
Oppressors
as
it
is
at
this
day
,
do
you
think
the
Lord
hath
forgotten
or
that
he
takes
no
notice
of
what
is
come
to
pass
,
how
should
he
forget
his
People
to
save
them
,
or
his
Enemies
,
that
he
should
not
recompence
them
;
but
know
ye
assuredly
that
the
Lord
is
the
same
,
and
all
those
things
are
written
in
a
Book
,
and
remembred
by
him
,
and
he
will
judge
justly
and
righteously
in
his
dreadful
day
;
Ah
,
let
it
enter
into
your
hearts
,
serve
not
your selves
altogether
in
the
pleasures
of
this
World
,
but
serve
the
Lord
,
and
this
he
requires
of
you
,
let
the
oppressed
go
free
,
and
break
every
bond
,
whereby
the
Innocent
do
suffer
,
and
this
the
Lord
requires
at
your
hands
;
Oh
but
I
feel
great
hardness
of
heart
,
and
rather
a
strengthening
of
cruel
bonds
,
than
a
breaking
of
them
,
and
you
appear
rather
to
be
given
up
to
work
wickedness
,
and
to
fullfill
the
largest
measure
of
them
that
went
before
you
,
than
otherwise
,
unrighteous
Decrees
are
rather
established
than
disannulled
.
Oh
,
what
will
be
the
end
of
these
things
!
and
what
will
be
your
judgment
when
the
Lord
awakens
himself
,
as
out
of
sleep
,
who
hath
left
you
to
follow
your
own
spirits
,
to
try
you
,
that
it
might
be
known
unto
all
what
is
in
your
hearts
;
and
behold
perverseness
lodges
in
them
;
and
while
the
Lord
hath
looked
for
justice
amongst
you
,
even
the
cry
of
oppression
hath
been
heard
,
even
a
grieveous
cry
of
unjust
persecution
and
violence
against
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
once
you
would
have
been
ashamed
of
those
things
which
now
you
act
without
shame
;
so
that
which
is
in
your
hearts
is
poured
forth
in
the
sight
of
the
World
.
Oh
ye
Rulers
of
England
,
the
Rulers
of
the
Heathen
shall
rise
up
is
judgment
against
you
,
even
they
that
never
professed
so
much
as
you
have
done
;
they
shall
be
rather
justified
than
you
,
whose
wayes
have
been
more
equal
than
yours
,
and
less
cruelty
brought
forth
by
them
than
by
you
,
unto
their
subjects
;
and
this
makes
your
sin
more
great
,
in
that
many
of
yo●
were
raised
from
low
estate
,
and
you
have
exalted
your selves
more
than
is
meet
,
and
have
caused
your
very
equals
to
groan
under
you
,
by
the
heavy
yoak
which
you
have
prepared
for
them
;
well
,
but
the
Lord
hath
listned
and
heard
,
and
a
Book
of
remembrance
is
written
,
and
he
will
repay
into
your
bosoms
;
the
time
is
not
long
when
the
Lord
may
scatter
you
,
and
give
you
unto
the
will
of
your
Enemies
;
therefore
be
awakened
,
and
warned
,
the
day
of
your
visitation
is
upon
you
all
.
OH
England
that
thou
hadst
known
in
this
thy
day
,
the
things
that
belong
to
thy
peace
.
Oh
that
thy
Rulers
and
people
had
known
how
that
the
Lord
hath
called
unto
them
.
Oh
that
they
had
considered-how
that
his
hand
hath
been
stretched
forth
all
the
day
long
,
and
he
would
have
gathered
them
,
as
a
Shepherd
doth
his
flock
,
but
they
have
n●…
known
,
neither
have
they
considered
,
and
therefore
that
which
belongs
to
their
peace
will
the
Lord
hide
from
their
eyes
,
the
day
of
their
visitation
is
spending
apace
,
and
the
night
will
come
,
and
no
man
shall
be
able
to
work
;
and
because
the
Lord
hath
called
and
you
have
not
heard
,
therefore
shall
you
cry
and
the
Lord
will
give
no
answer
.
Oh
Nation
,
thou
art
filled
with
oppression
,
and
griveous
iniquities
;
and
from
the
Head
to
the
Foot
thou
bearest
marks
of
great
abominations
;
in
thee
is
found
lamentable
oppression
of
the
Poor
;
and
great
and
grieveous
Idolatries
;
and
Gods
Rightous
Soul
is
vexed
in
thee
day
by
day
,
the
Just
groans
and
mourns
under
the
heavy
hand
of
oppressors
,
many
of
thy
Goales
do
witness
it
,
where
many
Innocent
and
Upright
People
have
suffered
unjustly
the
loss
of
their
Freedom
,
without
any
ground
,
or
charge
of
evil
laid
upon
them
.
Oh
what
have
thy
Rulers
done
,
Judgment
and
Justice
have
they
turned
backward
,
the
cry
of
the
Poor
hath
not
been
regarded
,
and
equity
hath
not
found
a
place
to
enter
.
Who
would
have
thought
that
you
,
who
have
been
so
high
in
Profession
of
the
Scriptures
,
should
thus
have
dealt
with
them
who
are
in
the
Life
of
the
Scriptures
,
this
agravates
your
sin
,
in
that
none
hath
been
like
you
in
profession
of
Religion
,
and
in
pretences
of
Righteousness
;
and
yet
you
have
exceeded
others
in
persecuting
(
and
suffering
of
it
)
the
servants
of
the
Lord
,
but
it
is
now
made
Manifest
what
lodgeth
in
your
hearts
;
under
your
fair
covers
of
promises
,
words
and
shews
,
what
deep
Hypocrisie
is
this
that
you
should
profess
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
yet
have
persecuted
hundreds
for
the
exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
.
Is
not
this
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
that
you
should
profess
that
which
you
do
not
perform
?
and
will
not
the
Lord
plead
with
you
because
of
it
,
in
his
dreadful
day
?
which
is
hastening
upon
you
,
as
a
thief
in
the
night
,
and
the
wicked
shall
not
escape
;
do
you
not
think
that
he
whom
you
persecute
in
his
Members
,
and
his
Members
,
shall
surely
reign
over
you
?
do
not
you
know
that
he
is
sufficient
to
avenge
himself
of
all
his
Enemies
?
and
do
not
you
believe
that
he
could
command
thousands
of
thousands
to
fight
for
him
,
and
to
revenge
his
Cause
?
Hath
the
consideration
of
these
things
no
room
in
your
hearts
;
or
are
your
hearts
wholy
shut
up
from
all
compassion
towards
the
Lords
people
?
Surely
to
Vengeance
will
the
Lord
be
awakened
,
and
he
will
tread
you
down
as
mire
in
the
streets
;
and
as
you
have
done
,
and
suffered
to
be
done
to
the
Lords
people
,
even
so
shall
it
be
done
unto
you
.
THere
are
only
two
Seeds
in
the
World
,
and
there
are
but
two
and
no
more
;
to
wit
,
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
;
and
these
two
are
contrary
one
to
the
other
,
in
their
bringing
forth
,
in
their
time
,
and
in
their
ends
;
they
differ
in
their
Nature
,
in
their
fruits
and
works
,
and
in
their
reward
;
and
these
two
are
at
continual
enmity
one
against
another
,
and
never
was
,
is
,
or
shall
be
reconciled
,
the
life
of
one
is
the
death
of
the
other
;
and
where
the
one
doth
live
,
the
other
doth
dye
;
and
where
the
one
rejoyceth
,
the
other
is
made
sorrowful
;
and
where
the
one
is
in
Freedom
,
the
other
is
in
Bondage
;
and
where
the
one
is
Ruler
,
the
other
is
a
Slave
and
in
Captivity
;
and
thus
are
they
contrary
:
where
the
one
brings
forth
fruit
,
the
other
is
barren
;
and
the
one
is
rewarded
with
the
overthrow
of
the
other
,
and
the
one
of
these
is
ruling
in
every
creature
man
and
woman
,
and
growing
and
bringing
forth
fruit
from
it self
,
through
the
Creature
;
and
the
fruits
of
the
one
is
blessed
for
ever
and
the
fruits
of
the
other
are
cursed
for
ever
;
and
betwixt
these
two
there
is
no
concurrence
or
agreement
in
any
thing
whatsoever
,
but
they
differ
in
likeness
,
and
their
fruits
differ
in
appearance
;
the
fruit
of
the
one
is
love
,
and
peace
,
and
unity
;
the
fruit
of
the
other
is
hatred
,
and
envy
,
and
trouble
,
and
enmity
;
the
fruit
of
the
Seed
of
God
in
the
creature
,
is
truth
,
and
righteousness
,
and
faith
,
and
patience
,
long-suffering
,
and
temperance
,
and
joy
,
and
peace
in
the
Lord
,
with
all
other
things
which
are
good
,
and
just
,
and
pure
;
but
the
fruits
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
are
of
another
nature
,
as
Lying
,
Theft
,
Murther
,
Dissimulation
,
Drunkenness
,
and
Whordoms
,
Hypocrisie
and
all
Unrighteousness
,
which
is
not
according
to
God
,
but
contrary
to
him
;
and
by
these
several
Fruits
proceeding
through
the
Creature
,
do
we
know
every
Creature
,
and
so
judge
of
him
to
be
the
Child
of
God
,
or
the
Child
of
the
Devil
in
the
election
,
or
in
the
reprobation
;
for
through
whom
the
Fruits
of
the
Seed
of
God
doth
spring
forth
,
we
know
such
are
not
of
the
Devil
;
and
through
whom
the
Fruits
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
do
spring
forth
,
we
know
such
are
not
of
God
.
And
these
two
Seeds
are
now
striving
in
the
Earth
,
the
one
against
the
other
,
and
they
in
whom
the
Seed
of
God
rules
are
persecuted
by
them
in
whom
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
rules
;
for
they
in
whom
the
Seed
of
God
rules
are
born
of
God
,
and
of
his
Spirit
;
and
they
in
whom
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
rules
are
born
of
flesh
,
and
minds
the
things
of
the
flesh
,
which
shall
not
endure
for
ever
;
and
so
every
one
that
is
born
of
the
flesh
,
is
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
or
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
rules
in
him
;
and
every
one
that
is
born
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
the
Seed
of
God
rules
in
him
;
such
are
persecuted
for
righteousness
sake
,
by
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
which
is
at
enmity
against
the
Seed
of
God
,
which
cannot
fulfill
the
will
of
the
Serpents
seed
,
nor
be
subject
to
his
laws
;
for
the
Seed
of
God
cannot
be
subject
to
the
Serpents
seed
in
any
thing
,
but
is
subject
to
God
,
and
not
to
any
thing
that
is
contrary
to
him
;
but
rather
suffers
imprisonment
,
and
cruelties
,
and
bonds
,
under
the
Serpents
seed
,
than
in
the
least
to
bow
to
it
.
So
this
is
the
ground
of
all
persecution
and
enmity
,
which
is
betwixt
the
two
seeds
,
which
seeks
the
overthrow
each
of
other
,
but
who
are
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
knows
that
they
are
of
God
,
and
that
the
whole
World
lyes
in
wickedness
;
under
the
government
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
;
and
such
where
he
Seed
of
God
is
brought
forth
,
hath
the
testimony
in
themselves
that
they
are
of
God
,
and
have
believed
in
the
Son
of
God
who
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
knowes
him
to
be
the
Foundation
and
the
Rock
of
Ages
,
and
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
him
,
nor
the
enmity
of
the
Serpents
seed
overcome
him
,
nor
they
that
are
Builded
on
him
;
and
this
is
a
Testimony
for
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
against
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
in
all
the
World
,
that
it
is
persecuted
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
and
spoken
all
manner
of
evil
of
by
the
World
,
according
to
the
words
of
Christ
,
which
are
fullfilled
upon
us
to
our
rejoycing
,
who
are
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
to
the
trouble
of
all
our
Enemies
,
who
are
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
.
And
otherwise
it
cannot
be
,
but
that
they
who
are
born
of
the
flesh
must
persecute
them
who
are
born
of
the
Spirit
;
for
because
of
the
enmity
that
is
placed
between
the
two
feeds
,
the
one
cannot
love
the
other
,
nor
have
fellowship
the
one
with
the
other
,
and
which
of
our
Fore-Fathers
the
Prophets
and
Disciples
of
Christ
,
which
were
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
were
not
persecuted
,
hated
,
and
reviled
,
and
reproached
by
your
fore-fathers
,
who
were
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
;
and
they
,
no
more
then
you
,
could
receive
the
Knowledge
of
God
and
his
wayes
,
but
ever
despised
the
path
thereof
,
and
counted
the
Wisdom
of
God
foolishnesse
,
and
stood
in
the
enmity
against
God
and
his
people
,
and
all
their
ways
;
and
they
that
were
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
ever
called
truth
error
,
and
the
way
thereof
heresie
and
blalphemie
.
Ieremiah
,
Amos
,
and
the
rest
,
were
called
deceivers
and
mad-men
,
and
seducers
of
the
people
,
and
evil
was
done
unto
them
;
Ieremiah
was
put
in
the
stocks
,
and
in
the
dungeons
,
by
the
Rulers
of
that
Generation
,
who
were
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
;
even
the
Prophets
of
God
who
were
sent
of
God
,
and
were
witnesses
of
his
Name
in
truth
and
righteousness
,
were
accounted
and
called
deceivers
,
and
were
persecuted
by
imprisonments
,
and
some
unto
death
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Scripture
,
Ieremiah
20.
Amos
7.
These
with
others
,
who
were
sent
of
the
Lord
,
to
bear
testimony
of
God
,
and
against
the
Rulers
;
who
executed
not
true
Justice
and
Judgment
,
but
were
oppressors
of
the
poor
,
who
judged
for
gifts
and
rewards
,
and
against
the
false
Prophets
and
Priests
that
ran
and
had
not
been
sent
,
who
used
their
tongue
,
and
said
the
Lord
said
,
and
the
Lord
had
not
spoken
to
them
,
who
prophesied
falsly
,
and
preached
for
hire
,
and
bare
rule
by
their
means
,
and
made
a
prey
upon
the
people
;
these
were
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
and
did
persecute
them
that
bore
witness
against
them
,
that
were
of
the
Seed
of
God
.
The
Word
of
the
Lord
was
even
a
reproach
unto
Ieremiah
daily
,
and
they
smote
him
with
the
tongue
,
and
the
chief
Governour
of
the
Lords
house
smote
him
,
and
put
him
in
the
Dungeon
:
And
Amos
,
who
had
been
no
Prophet
,
nor
the
son
of
a
Prophet
,
but
a
herdsman
,
he
was
persecuted
by
the
Priest
of
Bethel
,
and
was
commanded
not
to
Prophesie
in
the
Kings
Chappel
;
And
Amaziah
the
Priest
complained
to
Ieroboam
the
King
against
Amos
the
Prophet
:
And
Ezekiel
the
Prophet
could
not
be
received
of
the
people
;
for
saith
the
Lord
,
they
will
not
hear
thee
,
for
they
will
not
hear
me
;
and
they
were
a
rebelious
house
,
and
impudent
,
and
hard-hearted
,
and
would
not
receive
the
Prophets
words
:
And
thus
it
was
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles
and
Christ
Jesus
,
they
were
persecuted
,
and
some
of
them
put
to
death
for
bearing
testimony
unto
the
Father
,
whom
they
were
witnesses
of
,
and
against
the
World
;
what
Reproaches
,
Slanders
,
Beatings
,
Buffetings
Scornings
,
Tumults
,
Uproars
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
did
they
suffer
in
their
Generation
by
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
from
the
hands
of
the
Rulers
,
and
Priests
,
and
People
;
Christ
was
accounted
a
Deceiver
,
●nd
called
a
Devil
,
and
a
Blasphemer
;
and
the
Apostles
were
called
Here●…icks
,
Deceivers
,
and
pestilent
fellows
,
movers
of
sedition
,
destroyers
of
●he
Law
,
and
turners
of
the
World
upside
down
,
and
such
like
:
All
●hese
were
of
the
Seed
of
God
that
were
persecuted
,
and
the
Persecu●ors
were
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
which
brought
forth
violence
,
and
●ickedness
,
and
false
judgement
against
the
Innocent
;
and
some
were
●ost
cruely
put
to
death
upon
the
false
account
of
being
Deceivers
and
Blas●hemers
.
If
you
search
through
the
whole
Scripture
,
you
may
read
how
the
Just
●ere
persecuted
,
even
from
Abel
,
who
was
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
all
●…at
ever
were
persecuted
for
righteousness
.
sake
,
were
persecuted
upon
the
account
of
being
Evil-doers
,
and
the
Persecutors
judged
themselves
to
be
Righteous
.
He
was
the
chief
Governor
of
the
House
of
the
Lord
,
that
persecuted
Ieremiah
,
and
the
people
that
smote
him
with
the
tongue
,
said
,
They
knew
the
Law
should
not
perish
from
the
Priest
,
nor
Counsel
from
the
Honorable
:
And
it
was
Amaziah
the
Kings
Priests
that
persecuted
Amos
;
and
it
was
they
that
seemed
to
be
religious
that
persecuted
the
Prophets
;
and
it
was
the
wise
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
and
the
chief
Priests
,
that
handled
the
Law
,
and
that
offered
Sacrifice
,
that
persecuted
Christ
and
the
Apostles
.
How
zealous
were
the
Jewes
in
their
Traditions
and
Observations
,
in
their
Sabboth-keeping
,
and
in
the
Dayes
of
their
Humiliation
,
in
their
Temple-worship
,
and
in
all
the
Commandments
of
God
?
They
were
zealous
according
to
their
own
thoughts
:
yet
were
they
of
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
and
persecuted
the
Seed
of
God
in
Blind-zeal
,
upon
false
Judgment
;
and
the
Persecutors
had
a
Name
to
be
Righteous
,
and
the
Persecuted
were
accounted
Unrighteous
;
and
so
Darkness
was
put
for
Light
,
and
Light
for
Darkness
;
and
them
that
were
Well-doers
were
accounted
for
Evil-doers
,
and
them
that
were
Evil-doers
,
were
accounted
for
Righteous
.
And
such
was
the
blindness
of
Rulers
and
people
,
such
as
prophesied
falsly
,
and
came
in
their
own
names
were
received
,
for
the
people
loved
to
have
it
so
when
the
great
abomination
was
committed
;
but
they
that
came
in
the
Fathers
Name
could
not
be
received
,
but
were
Persecuted
;
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
nor
his
Apostles
could
not
be
received
of
the
World
,
but
were
persecuted
in
it
,
and
Laws
and
Decrees
were
made
against
them
,
whereby
they
suffered
unjustly
,
upon
false
grounds
suspitions
and
jealousies
,
for
that
Way
was
called
Heresie
,
in
which
the
true
God
was
worshipped
.
Christ
was
called
a
Deceiver
;
and
the
wisdom
of
the
World
could
not
receive
the
knowledge
of
the
things
of
God
;
and
as
it
was
then
,
so
i●
it
now
in
every
particular
,
if
any
man
hath
an
ear
to
hear
he
may
hear
,
and
a
heart
to
understand
,
and
he
may
perceive
;
for
now
is
the
Seed
of
God
and
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
at
enmity
,
striving
one
against
the
other
,
and
the
one
persecutes
the
other
in
his
Generation
,
as
ever
it
was
:
we
are
persecuted
upon
the
false
account
,
and
false
judgement
of
being
Evil-doers
,
and
Deceivers
,
and
our
Persecuters
accounts
themselves
Righteous
,
and
zealous
for
Gods
Wayes
;
and
such
as
are
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
are
accounted
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
even
them
that
preach
for
hire
,
and
seek
for
their
gain
from
their
Quarter
,
and
through
covetousness
,
by
feigned
words
makes
merchandise
of
souls
;
such
were
,
and
such
are
Deceivers
,
and
were
never
sent
of
God
;
and
yet
such
in
this
Generation
are
accounted
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
such
as
are
Ministers
of
Christ
,
who
walk
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
as
they
have
received
freely
,
so
do
they
freely
give
,
and
seek
not
advantage
to
themselves
,
but
are
pre●…
cuted
and
reviled
for
righteousness
sake
,
such
are
accounted
and
fal●…
judged
Deceivers
,
and
so
true
Judgment
is
turned
backward
;
Good
〈◊〉
called
Evil
,
and
Evil
Good
;
Deceivers
are
called
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
Ministers
of
Christ
are
called
Deceivers
;
and
thus
people
in
this
Generation
errs
in
judgment
,
and
persecutes
the
Righteous
,
who
are
of
the
Seed
〈◊〉
God
.
And
it
was
ever
the
Ministers
of
Christ
that
were
presecuted
,
and
never
any
〈◊〉
them
persecuted
any
,
nor
ever
any
of
the
Deceivers
were
persecuted
for
righteousness
sake
;
but
they
ever
persecuted
the
Just
and
sought
to
the
Rulers
,
and
to
the
Elders
of
the
people
for
violence
to
be
done
unto
them
that
feared
the
Lord
,
and
witnessed
against
their
wickedness
;
it
was
the
Chief
Priests
and
them
that
handled
the
Law
,
which
caused
Christ
and
the
Apostles
to
be
persecuted
.
Amaziah
sought
to
Ieroboam
to
have
Amos
persecuted
,
and
as
it
was
then
,
so
it
is
now
.
How
doth
the
Teachers
of
this
Nation
seek
to
the
Magistrates
to
have
the
Innocent
persecuted
?
and
yet
these
man
are
zealous
for
their
Performances
and
Duties
in
the
set-Days
of
Humiliation
and
Lectures
,
and
even
they
think
they
do
God
good
service
in
imprisoning
the
Innocent
,
they
have
great
zeal
without
knowledge
,
as
the
Jewes
had
,
and
they
are
strict
in
their
Sabboth-keeping
,
in
their
Singing
and
Praying
,
&c.
But
yet
is
Violence
done
to
the
Just
,
and
true
Judgment
and
Justice
neglected
;
and
therefore
all
that
which
they
perform
to
God
is
abomination
in
his
sight
.
Oh
,
what
complaining
is
there
,
from
the
Teachers
of
this
Nation
to
the
Magistrates
?
What
crying
out
for
defence
,
shewing
that
they
want
the
spiritual
Armour
,
and
dare
not
trust
the
Lord
?
What
plotting
and
contriving
is
there
against
the
Seed
of
God
,
by
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
,
who
ever
was
a
Persecutor
,
and
never
was
persecuted
?
What
Lawes
and
Decrees
are
there
brought
forth
against
the
Lords
people
,
as
Traps
to
ensnare
their
Feet
,
like
as
it
was
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
even
like
unto
Artaxerxes
the
King
,
who
made
a
Decree
,
and
gave
commandment
,
that
the
City
of
God
should
not
be
builded
;
and
this
was
from
the
information
and
complaining
of
Rhehum
the
Chancellor
and
Shimshai
the
Scribe
,
who
brought
certain
Accusations
to
the
King
against
the
people
of
God
;
and
called
the
holy
City
,
a
rebellious
and
bad
City
,
and
that
it
was
hurtful
unto
Kings
,
and
in
danger
to
endamage
the
Revenue
of
Kings
.
Here
was
a
Conspiracy
by
the
Scribes
and
such
as
handled
the
Law
,
with
the
King
against
the
people
of
God
;
and
thus
is
it
also
now
:
he
that
hath
but
an
eye
to
see
may
see
;
How
many
Petitions
have
they
put
to
the
Rulers
against
the
people
of
God
?
What
grieveous
and
false
Accusations
have
they
laid
to
the
charge
of
the
Innocent
,
saying
they
be
Popishly
affected
,
and
disobedient
to
Government
:
so
that
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
ever
doth
hatch
evil
against
the
Seed
of
God
,
to
destroy
it
from
off
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
and
it
was
the
Wise
,
and
the
Learned
,
and
the
Rulers
,
whom
the
Devil
made
use
of
to
persecute
the
Righteous
:
it
was
such
as
Rhehum
the
Chancellor
,
and
Shimshai
the
Scribe
,
and
Pashur
the
chief
Governor
in
the
House
of
the
Lord
,
and
it
was
such
as
the
chief
Priests
and
Elders
of
the
people
,
and
the
Wise-men
of
this
World
;
such
as
these
it
was
that
persecuted
the
Righteous
;
and
so
it
is
now
,
Orthodox
men
(
so
called
)
and
Justices
of
Peace
,
&c.
whom
the
Devil
makes
use
of
,
to
persecute
the
Innocent
,
against
whom
no
occasion
can
be
found
but
concerning
the
Law
of
their
God
,
as
it
was
with
Daniel
,
as
you
may
read
,
in
the
sixth
Chapter
of
Daniel
,
and
the
fifth
and
sixth
Verses
,
against
him
they
could
find
no
occasion
that
they
might
presecute
him
,
but
concerning
the
Law
of
his
God
;
and
it
was
the
President
and
Princes
,
and
Counsellors
,
and
the
Governors
which
consulted
together
against
Daniel
,
who
was
the
Servant
of
God
.
And
as
it
was
then
,
so
it
is
also
now
in
this
our
Generation
,
they
can
find
no
occasion
against
us
(
the
people
of
God
)
either
by
our
Doctrine
or
Conversation
,
but
onely
concerning
the
Law
and
Worship
of
our
God
;
for
there
is
a
Law
made
against
the
Law
of
Christ
,
and
all
that
will
not
sware
contrary
to
the
Law
of
Christ
,
must
be
counted
Evil-doers
and
Popish
Recusants
;
and
punished
,
and
this
is
not
for
any
Evil
in
us
,
but
because
we
cannot
transgress
the
righteous
Law
of
our
God
;
and
also
another
Decree
,
which
takes
hold
upon
them
that
travell
to
worship
God
on
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
whereby
the
Innocent
doth
suffer
,
and
are
like
to
suffer
;
and
not
for
Evil-doing
is
any
occasion
against
us
,
but
because
we
will
not
stay
from
the
Worship
of
our
God
,
but
are
made
to
travel
,
that
we
may
meet
together
to
Worship
him
;
with
such
other
Decrees
,
which
sheweth
unto
all
men
that
they
seek
occasion
against
us
concerning
the
Law
of
God
,
not
having
occasion
by
doctrine
,
or
conversation
,
or
any
other
thing
;
so
for
righteousness
sake
are
we
persecuted
,
and
not
for
evil-doing
;
some
are
persecuted
,
because
for
Conscience-sake
they
cannot
stay
at
their
own
houses
,
but
are
moved
by
the
Lord
to
declare
the
Name
of
the
Lord
abroad
in
the
Nation
;
many
by
a
decree
are
taken
and
punished
,
as
for
vagabonds
,
and
this
is
an
occasion
concerning
the
Law
of
our
God
;
and
Christ
was
persecuted
,
and
put
to
death
by
an
unrighteous
Decree
;
for
they
had
an
(
unrighteous
)
Law
,
as
they
said
,
and
by
it
he
ought
to
dye
;
and
unrighteous
laws
and
decrees
were
made
against
the
Apostles
,
whereby
they
were
commanded
to
depart
out
of
their
Towns
,
and
to
preach
no
more
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
,
and
by
such
decrees
were
the
Apostles
persecuted
.
So
that
this
may
shew
unto
all
,
that
our
fore-fathers
who
were
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
some
were
persecuted
unto
death
by
unrighteous
decrees
and
statutes
,
and
as
it
was
then
,
so
it
is
now
,
he
that
hath
an
eye
to
see
may
see
:
the
same
as
ever
was
is
come
to
pass
in
the
Earth
,
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
striving
against
the
Seed
of
God
and
persecuting
it
where
it
is
brought
forth
,
by
unrighteous
decrees
:
how
did
the
late
Bishops
of
England
persecute
the
harmless
?
What
Laws
and
Ordinances
were
then
brought
forth
,
whereby
violence
was
done
against
such
as
feared
the
Lord
,
and
then
was
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
striving
against
the
Seed
of
God
.
And
this
is
given
forth
to
shew
unto
all
the
World
the
cause
of
persecution
in
its
first
ground
,
(
to
wit
)
the
irrecoverable
enmity
which
is
betwixt
the
two
Seeds
,
the
one
continually
hating
and
persecuting
the
other
,
and
seeking
the
overthrow
each
of
other
,
and
the
enmity
betwixt
the
two
Seeds
,
is
the
cause
of
strife
,
the
one
being
Innocent
,
and
the
other
unrighteous
;
so
it
is
not
for
the
persons
sake
,
or
any
other
thing
that
the
Just
are
persecuted
;
but
it
is
because
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
which
cannot
bow
,
nor
worship
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
that
is
the
first
cause
of
persecution
.
Again
,
all
may
see
what
unrighteous
Laws
and
Decrees
were
and
are
brought
forth
to
persecute
the
Innocent
,
whereby
they
have
suffered
in
all
Generations
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
;
also
it
may
be
seen
,
that
it
was
the
Wise
,
the
Learned
,
the
Presidents
and
Chancellors
,
and
chief
Priests
,
and
Scribes
,
who
were
and
are
the
very
active
persons
,
by
whom
the
Seed
of
God
is
persecuted
,
and
even
such
as
were
and
are
zealous
in
their
Observances
,
and
Sabboth-keeping
,
and
such
like
;
it
was
not
the
Poor
,
nor
the
Foolish
only
which
the
Devil
made
use
of
to
do
his
work
;
but
it
was
the
Wise
,
and
the
Learned
,
and
the
Chief
in
Authority
,
and
such
like
;
it
was
such
in
whom
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
ruled
,
who
were
the
active
men
against
the
Servants
of
God
.
Also
it
was
through
the
evil
Counsel
of
such
as
were
Teachers
,
and
Scribes
,
and
Handlers
of
the
Law
;
and
it
was
through
the
false
Accusations
of
the
chief
Priests
unto
the
Governors
and
Elders
of
the
People
,
and
so
it
is
now
at
this
day
,
as
I
have
proved
;
and
also
the
Righteous
were
persecuted
upon
the
false
Judgment
of
others
,
and
they
were
falsly
adjudged
to
be
Deceivers
,
and
Blasphemers
,
and
Evil-doers
;
and
upon
this
account
were
they
persecuted
,
and
as
being
falsly
reputed
to
be
destructive
to
Government
,
and
Revenue
of
Kings
,
and
upon
such
like
;
and
that
they
made
void
the
Law
of
God
,
and
were
Movers
of
Sedition
;
and
upon
such
accounts
as
these
,
was
the
Seed
of
God
persecuted
,
as
it
it
at
this
day
;
and
all
men
that
read
this
with
moderation
may
come
to
the
good
Undestanding
,
upon
what
account
,
and
by
what
Instruments
,
and
by
what
means
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
hath
persecuted
the
Seed
of
God
,
even
from
Cain
unto
this
day
.
And
this
is
to
go
abroad
into
this
Nation
,
and
into
the
World
;
and
it
is
given
forth
from
the
Suffering-Seed
of
God
,
to
clear
it self
in
the
sight
of
all
men
,
that
not
for
Evil
,
but
for
Good
are
these
Sufferings
laid
upon
it
.
But
behold
the
Lord
heearth
and
regardeth
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
,
and
of
the
unjust
Sufferer
,
and
he
will
remember
his
Mercy
,
and
his
Covenant
with
his
own
Seed
;
and
when
it
passes
through
the
Fire
,
he
is
with
it
,
and
thought
it
be
afflicted
,
it
cannot
be
forsaken
;
though
the
Lord
hide
his
Face
from
his
people
,
and
suffers
most
grievous
things
to
be
done
against
them
,
by
the
wicked
;
yet
it
is
but
to
try
them
,
and
to
prove
them
,
that
they
may
be
found
faithfull
to
him
,
and
the
Seed
of
God
shall
reign
in
the
Earth
;
and
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
,
and
his
head
shall
be
bruised
,
and
is
bruised
already
;
and
it
bruiseth
its
heel
by
following
after
with
persecution
and
cruelty
;
but
the
Seed
of
God
shall
arise
,
and
is
arisen
,
and
praiseth
the
Living
God
for
evermore
.
It
plainly
appears
that
the
Suffering
of
the
people
of
God
in
this
Age
,
is
a
greater
Suffering
and
more
Unjust
,
than
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
,
or
of
the
Apostles
,
or
in
any
time
since
:
Queen
Maries
dayes
brought
not
forth
a
Suffering
more
cruel
,
and
in
many
respects
,
as
doth
appear
;
First
,
What
was
done
to
Christ
and
the
Apostles
,
was
chiefly
done
by
a
Law
;
and
in
a
great
part
by
the
due
execution
of
a
Law
;
and
also
the
Martyrs
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
had
more
just
Examination
,
and
a
more
Just
Prosecution
in
Law
,
than
the
people
of
God
have
now
;
for
now
it
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
among
some
of
the
Magistrates
in
England
to
cast
men
into
Prison
,
and
confine
them
,
and
to
cause
their
Goods
to
be
spoiled
,
without
any
Law
,
or
the
due
execution
of
a
Law
;
which
is
utterly
contrary
to
the
Charters
of
England
,
and
hereby
it
appearts
the
Suffering
to
be
more
Unjust
,
because
what
the
Persecutors
of
old
did
to
the
People
of
God
,
they
did
by
a
Law
,
and
by
the
due
execution
of
a
Law
;
but
now
many
are
caused
to
suffer
deeply
;
whom
the
transgression
of
no
Law
,
good
or
bad
,
can
be
charged
against
;
and
others
suffer
without
the
due
execution
of
a
Law
.
Again
,
herein
it
doth
appear
to
exceed
the
Suffering
of
the
Saints
in
former
Age
,
in
that
many
suffer
now
cruel
things
about
trivial
foolish
matters
;
as
for
not
putting
off
a
Hat
,
or
for
Theeing
men
;
and
for
denying
the
foolish
circumstance
of
Swearing
;
and
we
do
not
read
that
the
worst
of
Tyrants
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
or
before
or
since
,
ever
caused
any
to
suffer
for
such
things
as
these
,
or
ever
questioned
any
upon
any
such
small
accounts
;
for
hundreds
have
suffered
upon
suspition
,
when
nothing
at
all
can
be
charged
against
them
;
and
this
is
contrary
to
Magna-Carta
:
And
in
many
other
respects
which
might
be
named
,
this
suffering
is
greater
than
hath
been
in
any
Age
;
for
many
have
suffered
in
this
Common-wealth
,
which
have
been
faithful
,
and
hazarded
all
in
time
of
war
,
for
the
good
of
the
Common-wealth
;
and
many
of
them
suffer
by
them
,
who
have
been
Enemies
,
and
in
Arms
against
the
Common-wealth
;
and
herein
the
suffering
appears
more
intollerable
.
But
doth
the
Magistrate
think
to
come
to
account
for
these
things
?
Yea
,
the
Lord
is
Just
,
and
his
Way
is
Righteous
;
What
flesh
could
but
be
provoked
hereby
?
But
the
Saints
are
changed
in
nature
,
and
are
to
fullfill
the
Will
of
the
Lord
by
Suffering
:
the
Cruelty
of
men
is
become
exceeding
great
against
the
Lord
,
and
his
people
.
Again
,
hereby
the
Persecution
in
this
Age
appears
more
to
exceed
former
Ages
,
because
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Religion
,
was
never
so
much
promised
and
professed
,
as
in
this
Nation
at
this
day
;
and
yet
for
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
many
are
wofull
Sufferers
,
even
by
such
who
in
words
profess
Liberty
of
Conscience
themselves
;
and
yet
persecutes
the
exercise
of
it
in
others
,
even
for
not
putting
off
a
Hat
,
or
the
like
,
to
them
;
these
with
many
other
things
,
may
aggravate
the
hainousness
of
the
sin
of
persecution
to
be
great
,
and
more
unjust
than
in-former
Ages
.
Alas
,
how
is
the
Sword
of
Iustice
turned
backward
,
and
the
Innocent
smitten
and
persecuted
,
and
that
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
.

what
was
wanting

adding

unto

Reader
,
THOU
hast
here
a
very
great
number
of
[
](A30510-e36430-b)*
*
About
a
100
or
more
as
may
be
proved
inparticular
need
requie
.
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
Unjust-dealings
and
False-doctrines
,
&c.
Laid
open
and
reproved
in
plainness
,
and
not
in
hypocrisie
;
and
of
contention
there
is
not
suddenly
an
end
,
being
begun
;
therefore
seeing
the
unbelieving
heart
of
Iohn
Bunion
cannot
believe
me
,
when
I
speak
the
truth
in
justness
,
nor
may
I
believe
his
Lies
and
Slanders
,
uttered
in
hypocrisie
;
what
is
laid
down
is
left
to
thee
,
soberly
to
judge
of
betwixt
us
,
while
we
are
both
silent
:
And
this
know
,
the
one
is
a
Deceiver
;
and
the
other
is
as
a
Deceiver
,
yet
true
;
and
thus
mayst
thou
weight
things
equally
.
First
,
considering
of
many
Lyes
and
Slanders
truly
charged
upon
him
in
my
first
,
of
which
he
is
guilty
from
his
first
,
and
he
hath
not
at
all
cleared
himself
of
them
in
his
second
,
which
an
honest
man
ought
to
have
done
,
before
he
had
gone
further
;
for
I
soberly
desired
witness
of
what
he
said
:
But
be
hath
added
to
the
number
of
his
wickedness
,
and
not
proved
justly
what
he
hath
said
against
us
:
And
it
is
not
for
his
sake
,
for
little
thoughts
I
have
of
his
conversion
,
but
th●…●…ther
that
he
will
be
hardned
;
nor
for
may
own
sake
,
as
if
I
were
unsatisfied
concerni●…m
,
that
this
is
written
;
but
to
undeceive
the
simple
of
what
his
wickedness
may
falsly
suggest
into
the
mind
,
as
if
all
were
truth
that
he
spoke
,
if
his
wickedness
were
not
reproved
.
Again
,
Consider
that
I
have
cleared
the
Truth
of
my
words
which
he
hath
wrested
,
and
thereby
taken
occasion
against
the
Truth
,
by
answering
his
own
conceptions
,
and
not
my
plain
words
;
so
my
words
(
which
are
words
of
Truth
)
being
defended
,
all
his
Reply
is
made
void
:
So
I
have
not
so
much
desired
to
answer
every
particular
of
his
words
,
as
to
vindicate
my
own
words
,
and
the
Truth
from
his
false
Slanders
and
Accusations
.
O
HOW
hath
Satan
filled
the
hearts
of
men
,
in
this
Generation
(
as
well
as
in
former
Ages
)
with
Envy
against
the
Truth
,
and
with
Wrath
against
the
Way
thereof
;
and
how
hath
he
filled
them
with
Craft
,
and
deceitfull
Subtilty
,
to
offend
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
in
all
manner
of
Persecuting
,
and
Evil-speaking
against
it
openly
,
and
also
in
secret
Gain-saying
,
in
Hypocrisie
;
and
how
are
men
armed
to
defend
themselves
in
their
naughtiness
,
lying
hid
under
the
Vail
of
fair
Speeches
,
and
fine
Arguments
,
using
the
Scripture
in
the
words
of
mans
wisdom
,
to
oppose
the
Power
and
Life
of
Righteousness
;
even
as
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
of
old
,
how
zealous
were
they
in
their
Observances
,
and
in
fullfilling
the
Commands
and
Traditions
of
their
Fathers
,
having
set
themselves
in
Moses
Seat
,
professing
Moses
,
and
the
Prophets
words
,
and
yet
persecuted
Christ
the
Life
and
Substance
of
Moses
,
and
the
Prophets
?
And
as
it
was
then
,
so
is
it
now
;
how
are
Christs
words
,
and
the
Apostles
professed
and
preached
by
such
who
are
Enemies
to
the
Life
of
Christ
made
manifest
in
mortall
flesh
,
and
secretly
opposing
the
doctrine
of
the
Apostles
?
who
said
,
Know
ye
not
,
that
Christ
is
within
you
,
except
you
be
Reprobates
.
But
the
mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
and
coming
,
wherein
all
hearts
are
made
manifest
,
and
the
secrets
thereof
discovered
;
and
the
light
is
springing
out
of
darkness
,
and
the
Sun
is
breaking
thorow
the
Clouds
to
give
light
to
all
men
and
Nations
,
and
the
great
Whore
which
hath
decked
her self
in
divers
colours
to
deceive
,
shall
be
made
naked
and
bare
;
and
the
day
of
great
striving
is
come
,
and
now
every
man
stands
up
for
his
Interest
,
to
defend
his
Possession
,
for
the
just
Judge
standeth
at
the
Door
,
to
enquire
by
what
Law
every
man
holds
his
Inheritance
;
and
he
findeth
many
holding
their
Religion
;
and
Profession
,
by
the
Traditions
of
men
only
,
and
not
by
the
Revelation
of
Christ
Jesus
in
them
;
and
such
he
will
dispossess
,
though
they
strive
against
him
,
yet
all
is
in
vain
,
and
though
they
plead
Antiquity
,
yet
that
will
not
prevail
;
and
in
that
the
day
of
great
striving
is
come
,
betwixt
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
,
the
Draggon
and
his
Followers
;
every
one
of
that
Party
appearing
with
such
weapons
as
the
Devil
hath
armed
them
withal
;
and
with
such
Armour
as
the
wicked
hath
,
they
come
,
appearing
under
divers
colours
to
fight
against
Zio●
,
yet
under
one
Head
,
and
Prince
of
Darkness
,
and
unto
one
Purpose
,
ev●…
that
the
Seed
of
Iacob
may
be
rooted
out
,
and
that
the
Way
of
Truth
may
〈◊〉
prosper
,
that
then
the
Wicked
may
go
on
in
their
wickedness
,
without
reproof
,
and
ungodliness
may
be
hid
under
hypocrisie
;
and
above
all
other
means
,
that
is
used
at
this
day
,
to
keep
up
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
,
and
to
offend
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
;
this
is
Cheif
,
striving
against
the
Light
of
the
World
,
opposing
it
,
and
denying
it
,
and
by
crafty
Arguments
,
and
cunning
Speeches
,
seeking
sutable
Scriptures
,
(
as
they
suppose
)
to
ground
their
false
Argument●
upon
,
against
this
very
thing
,
that
the
Light
of
Christ
is
given
to
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
or
that
the
Light
which
convinceth
and
reproveth
every
man
of
sin
within
him
,
is
not
the
Light
of
Christ
,
nor
worthy
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
but
natural
and
such
like
,
and
no
way
sufficient
to
Life
and
Salvation
;
if
the
Unjust
men
persecute
,
it
is
such
as
walk
in
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
that
cannot
fulfill
the
wills
and
customs
of
m●n
,
and
so
are
not
of
th●…
World
,
but
contrary
to
it
in
all
its
wayes
and
work●…●…ich
are
evil
;
and
if
t●…
wise
men
of
the
World
make
any
Arguments
,
it
is
against
the
Light
,
wi●…
which
Christ
lightneth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
;
so
that
all
〈◊〉
envy
of
the
Devil
,
whether
under
this
or
that
colour
and
appearance
,
is
again●…
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
them
that
walk
therein
;
and
if
the
light
be
〈◊〉
denyed
,
and
not
believed
in
,
nor
regarded
,
then
may
the
Devil
have
wh●…
Possession
of
the
heart
of
man
;
and
if
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
within
,
〈◊〉
owned
and
loved
,
and
walked
in
,
then
Christ
is
received
,
and
there
the
D●…
is
dispossessed
;
and
therefore
it
stands
him
upon
,
above
all
other
things
,
〈◊〉
possess
people
against
the
Light
within
,
which
Christ
hath
given
,
that
then
〈◊〉
may
not
be
discovered
in
the
heart
;
but
may
keep
all
his
goods
in
peace
,
a●…
have
quiet
possession
in
his
Habitation
?
Well
,
be
it
so
,
though
all
men
of
th●…
Kingdom
doth
gainsay
the
Light
of
Christ
,
by
this
or
that
way
of
wickedness
,
yet
it
is
precious
unto
us
,
and
I
cannot
but
earnestly
contend
for
it
,
against
〈◊〉
Gainsayers
,
and
yet
strives
not
for
mastery
to
our selves
,
nor
to
exalt
any
thing
of
our selves
,
but
only
the
Lord
and
his
truth
,
which
he
hath
made
more
dear
to
us
,
then
either
life
,
or
name
,
or
liberty
;
and
though
so
it
be
,
that
this
Way
be
spoken
evil
against
every-where
,
yet
the
Lord
owneth
it
,
and
us
who
are
faithful
therein
in
the
presence
of
our
Enemies
;
to
the
confounding
of
the
wisdom
of
this
World
.
And
whereas
Iohn
Bunion
hath
formerly
set
himself
divers
wayes
to
oppose
the
Truth
under
the
account
of
his
great
zeal
against
Error
;
but
especially
in
a
Book
sometime
since
put
forth
by
him
,
thinking
thereby
to
offend
the
Way
of
Righteousness
;
and
now
a
second
time
hath
appeared
,
with
a
defence
upon
his
former
,
called
A
Vindication
,
&c.
Of
the
former
and
his
Defence
,
is
more
to
the
laying
open
his
folly
,
and
to
the
uncovering
of
his
blindness
and
wickedness
,
then
his
first
offence
given
by
him
,
which
caused
me
to
write
in
short
four
sheets
of
paper
,
to
clear
the
Truth
from
what
he
had
spoken
against
it
.
And
now
having
again
a
second
time
appeared
in
many
word
,
without
knowledge
,
yet
in
great
zeal
,
hath
brought
forth
many
things
reprovable
,
even
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
evil
Speeches
in
abundance
,
yet
with
great
pretence
of
holiness
,
and
soberness
;
and
he
hath
not
only
belyed
me
,
but
the
Truth
which
is
my
chief
,
and
moving
cause
,
(
that
the
Truth
may
be
clear
)
of
this
my
second
Reply
unto
him
;
and
not
for
my
own
sake
in
any
thing
;
for
I
more
prize
to
be
accounted
a
fool
,
and
dispraised
in
the
World
,
then
to
be
honoured
thereby
;
and
when
iniquity
shall
come
to
an
end
,
and
transgression
shall
be
finished
,
his
shall
be
the
Kingdom
and
the
Inheritance
of
Rest
Eternal
,
that
hath
kept
himself
clean
and
pure
,
from
a
lying
and
slanderous
tongue
,
and
who
hath
done
righteously
and
fullfilled
the
Will
of
God
,
For
it
is
not
every
one
that
saith
Lord
,
Lord
,
that
enter
into
the
Kingdom
,
but
he
that
doth
the
will
of
the
Father
which
is
in
Heaven
;
and
in
that
day
when
the
Book
of
all
Consciences
shall
be
opened
,
and
every
thing
brought
to
Judgement
,
then
shall
the
Light
in
every
ones
Conscience
answer
the
Lord
in
the
justness
of
his
dealings
;
and
even
then
(
if
not
before
)
shall
this
Iohn
Bunion
know
the
Light
in
all
mens
Consciences
is
of
force
,
when
he
shall
be
judged
and
then
shall
he
see
,
he
hath
wronged
the
Lord
,
and
dealt
evil
against
his
own
soul
,
in
speaking
evil
of
what
he
hath
not
known
,
and
in
giving
false
judgement
of
what
he
hath
not
understood
;
and
till
that
day
I
leave
him
(
without
praying
for
fire
to
devour
him
)

in

that

that

a

grain

have

I

To

I
say

these

the

Reply

Yea
,
your
words
doth
describe
your
nature
,
for
by
your
voice
I
know
you
,
to
be
none
of
Christs
sheep
,
and
accordingly
I
judge
,
in
just
judgement
,
and
in
true
knowledge
,
and
doth
not
falsly
sensure
,
nor
utter
words
voi●
of
knowledge
,
and
my
words
shall
be
witnessed
by
you
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
:
Envy
is
of
Cains
nature
and
seed
,
and
in
that
you
are
;
and
Lyars
are
of
Ishmaels
stock
,
and
you
are
guilty
of
that
,
let
the
sober
Reader
try
;
and
you
are
among
the
murdering
Priests
party
,
and
close
joyned
to
them
,
in
Doctrine
and
practise
,
especially
in
writing
against
us
.
Now
no
wrong
have
I
done
you
,
that
thou
needest
to
be
troubled
,
and
seek
to
cover
your selves
by
thy
fair
words
in
thy
answer
,
as
if
you
were
righteous
;
but
all
will
not
hide
you
,
your
works
make
you
manifest
to
be
no
less
then
what
I
have
said
of
you
.
Then
farther
thou
art
hot
against
me
,
in
that
I
say
,
you
are
found
Enemies
to
Christ
,
revealed
in
his
Saints
,
and
this
thou
hast
noted
it
in
the
Margent
for
false
,
but
thou
dost
not
well
to
be
angry
;
it
is
true
,
what
I
have
spoken
,
thy
own
words
do
prove
it
,
in
saying
there
was
nothing
in
thee
,
to
be
taken
notice
of
;
this
was
a
denying
of
Christ
within
,
and
such
as
deny
him
are
found
Enemies
to
him
within
;
So
the
Lye
is
thy
own
,
who
hast
denyed
Truth
,
let
the
wise
Reader
judge
,
and
thy
many
words
in
a
pretending
Answer
will
not
cover
you
from
the
guilt
of
what
I
have
charged
upon
you
,
and
not
falsly
;
and
what
I
have
said
hitherto
is
true
,
and
not
false
,
though
thou
feigningly
say
,
Thou
marvels
I
should
be
so
overseen
,
as
to
utter
so
many
false
things
in
so
little
a
space
;
nay
,
my
understanding
was
open
,
when
I
wrot
forth
that
Book
,
at
which
thou
art
so
tormented
,
that
it
hath
caused
thee
some
Moneths
travel
in
anguish
to
clear
thy self
,
and
yet
cannot
be
at
rest
;
and
thou
art
over-seen
who
resists
the
reproof
of
thy
Wickedness
.
Then
thou
goest
about
to
justifie
thy
Brother
Burtons
words
,
who
wickedly
laid
it
down
,
as
thou
impudently
goest
to
justifie
it
,
who
joyned
in
his
Accusation
,
and
slanders
Quakers
with
Ranters
;
and
this
wouldst
thou
justifie
we
are
one
,
against
my
just
Answer
,
which
denied
them
in
the
fourth
page
of
my
first
;
where
I
said
,
Between
Quakers
and
Ranters
there
is
no
more
union
,
&c.
then
betwixt
Light
and
Darkness
,
Good
and
Evil
;
and
that
Answer
stands
untouched
by
thee
,
and
is
true
;
and
in
justifying
Iohn
Burtons
wicked
Slander
,
thou
art
more
wicked
in
comparing
the
Principles
,
and
sayst
,
it
will
appear
they
agree
in
one
,
&c.
Viz.
That
the
Quakers
deny
Christ
to
be
a
real
Man
:
Secondly
,
that
they
fancy
him
to
be
God
,
manifest
in
their
flesh
:
Thirdly
,
that
they
make
his
humane
nature
with
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
,
to
be
but
a
type
of
God
:
these
thing
were
charged
upon
us
.
But
what
a
wicked
course
hast
thou
taken
to
clear
him
,
by
adding
thy
own
wickedness
;
let
all
consider
that
reads
:
for
doe
not
I
desire
in
plainness
in
my
first
,
in
these
words
;
if
thou
darest
lay
the
Charge
only
upon
the
Quakers
,
write
in
plainness
,
and
bring
testimony
of
thy
Accusation
,
and
thou
mayst
receive
a
farther
answer
,
but
not
a
word
in
plain
answer
to
this
is
returned
,
though
soberly
desired
,
neither
time
,
nor
place
,
nor
witnesses
evidenced
to
clear
your selves
of
your
first
Slanders
,
which
had
been
more
honest
,
then
to
have
slandered
afresh
,
passing
over
your
first
;
but
it
seems
you
cannot
clear
your selves
in
honesty
,
and
so
fulfill
your
wickedness
by
adding
to
your
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
as
thou
impudently
dost
in
thy
comparing
the
principles
of
the
Ranters
with
the
Quakers
.
And
to
save
thy
brother
from
shame
and
guilt
,
thou
art
fallen
thy self
into
the
Snare
,
and
justly
may
be
judged
,
to
exceed
him
in
Wickedness
;
and
thou
sayst
,
(
with
shame
to
thy self
,
I
repeat
it
)
that
the
[
](A30510-e37310-b)*
*
This
is
a
lye
;
Quakers
will
not
own
Christ
without
them
,
but
thou
brings
not
testimony
of
this
Assertion
;
till
then
art
thou
reckoned
,
and
shall
be
plauged
for
a
Lyer
,
which
will
be
forever
,
for
we
own
him
as
he
is
ascended
far
above
all
Heavens
,
who
fills
all
things
;
yea
,
and
without
us
too
:
So
that
instead
of
proving
the
first
false
Accusation
,
thou
adds
another
Slander
,
and

That

and

teaching
but
the
teaching

and
yet
condemnes

second
thing
wherein
thou
comparest
them
,
is
unsound
;
for
though
we
witness
,
(
yea
thousands
)
that
we
need
no
man
to
teach
us
,
as
the
Saints
did
1
Iohn
,
yet
we
cry
not
down
the
Ministry
of
God
,
but
owns
,
it
,
and
cryes
down
such
by
whom
people
cannot
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
though
they
be
ever
learning
;
who
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
goes
for
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
&
loves
the
Wages
of
Unrightousness
;
&
this
was
the
Apostles
Doctrine
as
it
was
ours
,
and
is
no
Heresie
(
though
thou
mayst
so
judge
it
)
for
we
say
by
the
same
Spirit
as
the
Apostles
did
,
they
that
are
of
God
heareth
us
who
are
in
the
Truth
,
which
is
but
one
,
and
there
is
not
another
;
and
the
Apostles
which
witnessed
,
Saints
needed
no
man
to
teach
them
,
did
exhort
them
;
and
yet
did
not
condemn
principles
by
practice
.
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
sayst
,
The
Ranters
are
not
for
Baptism
,
and
Breaking
if
Bread
;
and
are
not
the
Quakers
the
same
?
But
what
doth
this
prove
;
and
thou
sayst
,
the
Ranters
are
they
that
would
profess
themselves
without
sin
;
and
how
far
short
of
〈◊〉
Opinion
are
the
Quakers
?
and
the
Ranters
would
not
own
the
Resurrection
,
&c.
And
how
say
you
,
Do
you
believe
the
very
Bodies
shall
rise
,
&c.
Reply
,
Friend
,
this
is
far
short
of
proving
these
things
upon
us
,
by
querying
them
to
us
,
let
the
Reader
consider
:
But
it
may
be
impudency
hath
not
so
wholy
eaten
out
honesty
in
thee
,
as
that
thou
darest
charge
us
wholy
with
these
things
,
but
would
intrude
into
us
be
thy
Questions
,
as
though
the
thing
were
so
indeed
,
but
thou
mayst
by
ashamed
of
thy
work
:
Is
this
sufficient
proof
of
evil
against
us
,
to
ask
us
whether
it
be
so
?
what
hast
thou
proved
in
all
this
against
us
(
if
we
were
guilty
)
thinkest
thou
we
will
accuse
our selves
?
this
is
absurdity
,
and
wickedness
in
thee
,
falsly
to
charge
us
,
and
to
bring
no
better
evidence
,
but
thy
bare
words
;
and
as
we
deny
the
Ranters
,
so
do
we
thee
,
and
sees
you
both
to
be
Enemies
to
the
Life
of
God
:
But
thy
last
and
chie●…
proof
(
as
thou
thinkest
)
that
we
are
one
,
is
,
that
the
Ranters
are
Sinners
,
and
the
Quakers
are
Lyers
;
the
first
I
wil●
not
vindicate

there

as
much
difference

as
betwixt
a

for
to
say

a

thou

thou

of

according
to
that
Scripture

I
say
thou
perverts
the
Scripture

lyest
grosly
in

main
thing
it self
;

saith
it

since

let
the
honest
judge
;
and
now
it
is
seen
the
Lye
rests
upon
thy

Head
,
who
wrests
the
Scripture
;
and
belyes
the
Lord

me

goes
on
in
thy

take
thou
the

they

thy

in

,

not
ours

And
further
thou
art
offended
that
I
should
say
,
and
would
fain
reckon
it
for
a
Lye
,
that
all
thy
work
is
a
secret
smiteing
,

an
obscure
shooting
against
the
manifestation
of
Christ

which
words
I
own
to
be
truth
concerning
thee
,

am
not
ashamed

them

though
thou

I

falsly

that
which
you
said
;
there
was
nothing
in
any

to
be
taken
notice
of
;
this
is
a
denying
of
him
within

this
to
be
considered
seriously
,

judged
by
them
who
are
spiritual
,
and
they

be
my
Witnesses

and
the
Lye
is
of
thee
and
thy
Father
,
whose
wickedness
is
sufficiently
seen
by
what
is
said
,
if
I
should
say
no
more

Again
thou
sayst
it

an
untruth

thee

to

thou

my

thou

them

thy

it

nothing

I

thou
art

through

with

merchandize
of
Souls

thou
art

among
them
that
preaches
for
Hire
;

I
have
spoken
the
truth
herein
,
let
the
Light
in
all
Consciences
judge
,
who
are
not
feared
in
many
things
;
I
might
instance
that
thou
art
in
their
steps
,

among
them
that
act
such
things
,
as
further
may
be

the
wisdom
of
God
so
fore-saw

to
keep
me
clear
,

my
words

be
defended

though
I
expected
no
less
from
thee
,
as
to
this
thing
,
then
is
come
to
pass
,

the
Lye
is
of
thy self

who
would
deny
the

truth

:
The
next
thing
that
thou
wilt
charge
upon
to
be
a
Lye
,
I
pass
here
,
the
Reader
may
expect
it
in
its
place
;
and
though
thou
sayst
,
the
Rantors
and
I
,
and
my
Fellows
are
of
the
same
mind
in
many
things

which
I
Reply

Their

I
deny

the
ground
in

they
stand
,

their
false
doctrines
;
yet
dare
we
not
deny
any
truth
as
it
is
in
Christ
;
though
they
,
as
thou
mayst
,
profess
it
in
words
,
which
is
seldom
they
do
,
for
we
have
respect
unto
the
Truth
,
for
the

sake

how
uncharitable
art
thou
in
thy
measure
and
judgement
,
consider
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
Iohn
Bunion
is
of
the

mind
with
the
Pope
in
many
things
;
the
Pope
holds
Christ
was
born
of
Mary
,

was
crucified

raised
again

this
holds

must
partake

passed
by
the
two
slanders
cast
upon
us
,
by
I.
Burton
,
in
your
first
Book
,
which
I
charged
you
withall
in
mine
,
to
which
not
one
word
as
to
evidence
your
slanders
,
but
hath
slippen
it
over
,
as
a
foul
guilty
man
,
which
charge
stands
upon
you
both
;
that
you
are
Slanderers
herein
,
and
my
first
answer
I
am
not
ashamed
of
,
though
you
snarle
much
about
it
,
and
would
taint
it
,
or
undermine
it
:
but
thy
subtilty
is
to
weak
,
Truth
confounds
thee
and
thy
simple
policy
,
which
is
,
that
we
prize
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
God
man
,
to
be
precious
unto
us
,
and
hath
owned
him
alone
to
be
the
Foundation
whom
God
hath
laid
,
and
in
his
Light
we
are
saved
,
&c.
As
I
said
in
Page
7.
against
which
words
thou
canst
not
justly
except
,
nor
yet
prove
the
contrary
;
and
yet
as
a
man
that
loves
to
hear
thy
own
tongue
,
thou
lays
down
many
things
impertinent
as
to
the
cause
in
hand
.
But
it
had
been
more
honest
to
have
helped
thy
brother
Burton
,
from
under
my
true
Charge
,
and
cleared
the
Truth
,
if
thou
hadst
been
able
;
but
thou
hast
left
●im
in
the
dirt
under
the
Charge
of
a
Slanderer
;
and
are
unfaithfull
to
him
,
●nd
goes
about
to
inquire
what
it
is
(
as
thou
sayst
)
to
lay
Christ
for
a
Foundation
;
thou
confesses
what
I
have
said
is
fairly
spoken
,
and
yet
thy
envious
minde
,
●nd
unbelieving
heart
seems
to
be
offended
at
my
words
;
and
to
them
that
can
believe
I
speak
plainly
,
and
doth
not
beg
thy
belief
,
nor
any
mans
,
but
commends
my self
to
every
mans
Conscience
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
knows
no
other
Jesus
the
Saviour
,
nor
Foundation
,
then
he
that
Iohn
was
sent
to
prepare
the
Way
before
,
who
was
,
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
;
who
said
,
I
am
the
light
of
the
World
,
and
now
my
words
are
defended
to
be
truth
in
the
sight
of
them
that
are
spiritual
;
and
thou
,
and
such
may
hear
,
but
must
not
understand
,
who
have
hardened
your
hearts
,
least
you
should
believe
,
and
therefore
is
given
up
to
Gainsayings
,
till
the
Wrath
of
God
break
out
against
you
;
and
let
Iohn
Burton
remember
my
words
,
where
I
said
he
is
fallen
into
the
pit
which
he
digged
for
another
,
and
he
undervalues
the
Lord
Jesus
,
whose
Doctrine
is
to
speak
Truth
,
but
he
hath
lyed
and
slandered
,
and
so
is
out
of
Christ
the
Foundation
,
and
undervalues
him
,
who
keeps
not
his
sayings
,
but
is
a
Worker
in
Darkness
,
and
not
in
the
Light
:
And
as
to
that
where
I
say
,
thus
much
is
the
mind
of
the
Penmans
spirit
,
(
of
the
first
Epistle
,
of
the
first
Book
)
secretly
smiting
at
the
Doctrine
of
true
Faith
and
Salvation
(
to
wit
)
Christ
within
,
I
have
said
the
truth
in
righteousness
,
and
do
own
my
words
,
though
thou
sayst
I
have
done
him
a
great
deal
of
wrong
,
&c.
But
I
leave
it
to
be
judged
by
them
that
are
spiritual
,
and
not
unto
thee
,
to
give
false
meaning
of
my
words
;
and
doth
not
he
say
in
that
Epistle
of
some
that
have
been
depending
too
much
upon
some
thing
they
call
Christ
,
and
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
within
them
,
&c.
Let
the
wise
in
heart
judge
,
whether
this
be
not
as
I
said
,
even
a
secret
smiting
against
Christ
within
,
without
which
as
I
have
said
,
there
can
be
no
Salvation
,
for
he
that
hath
not
Christ
in
him
,
is
a
Reprobate
;
and
this
I
speak
,
not
in
opposition
,
but
as
a
testimony
of
Christ
Jesus
,
that
dyed
,
and
rose
again
,
and
ascended
,
who
is
within
,
and
without
also
;
and
if
any
preach
another
Jesus
,
let
him
be
accursed
;
and
repent
thou
,
who
art
in
the
wrong
doing
thy self
,
falsly
charging
me
;
noting
in
the
Margent

falsly

the
truth

and
the
false
speaking
rests
at
thy
door
,

is

thither

thy

Friend

By
this
thy
deceitful
Slander
,
while
thou
hast
thought
to
prove
us
Deceivers
hath
proved
thy self
one
,
even
a
false
Accuser
;
mayst
thou
not
blush
to
say
we
own
Christ
no
otherwayes
,
then
as
he
is
within
?
we
own
him
which
was
,
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
who
is
within
us
,
and
without
us
,
as
I
have
said
in
my
first
,
we
own
him
as
the
Scripture
speaks
of
him
;
and
it
is
known
〈◊〉
the
Lord
,
and
in
his
sight
we
are
approved
,
whether
thou
believe
it
or
not
;
f●…
I
beg
not
beleif
of
thee
,
but
leaves
thy
double
Slanders
to
be
read
,
and
judged
of
,
by
all
honest
people
,
and
in
the
interim
,
know
it
is
a
bad
way
to
prove
us
Deceivers
by
thy
Lyes

this
the
rather
is
a
Witness
to
us

we
are
of
God

thee

thou
to
be

Devil
,
who
was
a
Lyer
from
the
beginning
,
and
〈◊〉
his
Child
succeeds
him
;
in
lying

Thy
second
proof
is
,
That
we
are
Deceivers
,
because
(
sayst
thou
)
〈◊〉
do
perswade
souls
that
Christ

to
him
that
hath
an
understanding

open

Deceiver
belongs
to
thee

at
thy
door
it
lyes

thou
canst
not
remove
it

Farther
(

We
perswade
souls
that
that
man

that
was
born
of
the
Virgin
Mary

is
not

This
is
another
Lye
,
uttered
without
fear
or
knowledge
,
or
honesty
,
we
do
not
perswade
souls
to
believe
any
such
thing
;
but
bears
witness
to
the
truth
of
that
Scripture
,
that
a
Cloud
received
him
out
of
their
sight
,
and
we
say
he
is
out
of
their
sight
and
must
appear
again
in
sight
;
and
this
is
a
wicked
way
of
thee
,
to
prove
us
Deceivers
,
by
slandering
us
,
adding
more
to
thy
own
sin
,
and
the
more
will
be
thy
burthen
,
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
when
Plagues
and
Torment
are
thy
portion
,
from
which
thou
shalt
not
flye
,
though
now
thou
be
above
shame

(
sayst
thou

We
perswade
souls
not
to
believe
that
that
man
that
was
crucified
,
and
rose
again
,

Shall
so
come
again
to
Iudgment
,
as
he
went
away
;
and
shall
raise
up
men

women
out
of
their
Graves
,
and
cause
them
to
come
into
the
Valley
of
Jehoshaphat
;
thou
sayst

strive
to
beat
souls
off
from
believing
this

O
how
swiftly
thy
lying
Tongue
runs
without
fear
,
as
though
neither
God
nor
man
took
notice
of
thee
,
or
that
ever
thou
shouldst
be
called
to
question
for
them
;
many
Lyes
together
thou
hast
here
foulded
up
in
one
;
thy
Lyes
I
deny
,
and
this
to
be
one
;
hast
thou
set
thy self
to
tell
Lyes
!
O
abominable
wickedness
,
mayst
thou
not
tremble
?
when
thou
considers
what
thou
falsly
sayst
of
us
,
contrary
to
my
words
,
who
said
in
the
truth
of
my
heart
,
we
own
him
to
be
what
the
Scripture
speaks
of
him
,
and
not
otherwise
?
it
seems
thou
cannot
believe
when
I
speak
truth
;
I
number
up
thy
Lyes
,
and
returns
them
back
to
thee
to
read
;
and
by
all
this
is
it
not
true
,
that
thou
art
of
the
same
spirit
with
thy
fellow
,
and
abound
more
in
Lyes
?
as
I
said
in
my
first
;
his
was
but
about
three
,
thine
manifold
more
;
but
thy
Lyes
are
no
testimony
against
us
,
that
we
are
Deceivers
,
but
they
shall
lie
heavy
upon
thee
at
one
day
,
when
we
shall
be
clear
:
For
in
the
affirmive
.
I
further
say
,
that
,
that
Christ
Jesus
that
was
crucified
,
and
rose
again
,
shall
come
(
as
he
went
away
)
to
Judgement
,
and
the
dead
shall
be
raised
,
and
every
man
shall
receive
according
to
their
deeds
;
and
he
shal●
set
to
judge
the
Heathen
round
about
,
according
to
Ioel
3.
and
thy
portion
in
that
day
shall
be
Howling
and
Gnashing
of
Teeth
;
for
the
Lyars
Portion
is
the
Lake
.
Thou
sayst
again
,
the
Quakers
make
no
difference
between
that
Light
,
wherewith
Christ
,
as
he
is
God
hath
enlightned
all
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Christ
he
gives
not
to
all
.
Reply

I
put
thee
to
prove
that
they
are
contrary
or
divided
one
against
the
other
;
for
thus
Christ
saith
,
I
will
send
you
the
Comforter
even
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
which
must
needs
be
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
he
shall
reprove
or
convince
the
World
of
sin
,
and
of
righteousness
;
now
mark
that
same
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
,
who
is
the
Comforter
of
the
Saints
is
the
same
,
and
not
another
,
that
doth
reprove
the
World
;
he
that
can
read
,
let
him
understand
,
the
World
cannot
receive
the
Comforter
,
yet
have
they
given
to
them
,
that
which
doth
reprove
them
;
which
is
with
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
of
the
same
,
and
not
contrary
,
nor
divided
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
,
thou
mayst
hear
;
the
Error
is
in
thy self
,
who
art
without
understanding
.
Further
,
thou
sayst
,
That
every
one
hath
that
which
is
like
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
even
as
God
,
as
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
which
thou
sayst
is
desperate
blassphemy

cryes
out
with
an
out-cry

O
wonderfull
deceit

stand

to
vindicate
against
all
thy

And
yet
cannot
reprehend
my
answer

which
is
just

faithful
,
that
the
Children

always
counted
Deceivers

this

true

wickedly

blasphemy

Reply

Now
let
all
consider
what
thou
hast
said

Christ
Jesus
is
the
Bread
of
Life
that
came
down
from
Heaven
,
the
Childrens
Bread
,
and
they
have
no

;
Now
the
Devil
cannot
take
Christ
Jesus
,
who
only
is
the
Childrens
Bread
,
and
give
him
to
Doggs
;
O
horrid

canst
thou
behold
this

and
not
be
smitten
to
the
heart
,
what
wickedness

ignorance
lodges
in
that
heart
that
can
utter
these
things
;
Though
thou
thinkst
,
thou
hast
done
bravely
i●
thus
saying
,
yet
the
Wisedom
of
God
turns
thy
words
upon
thy
own
head
into
confusion
and
grievous
error
,
I
deny
it
though
thou
affirm
it
;
that
the
Devil
can
take
,
or
knows
how
to
take
Christ
Jesus
,
and
give
him
to

Further
thou

I
am

thou

none

a

Notionist

Thou

As

thou
hast
not
at
all
removed

the
true
charge
against
thee

that
I
charged
upon
thee
,
upon
these
words
(
viz

a
Believer
of
Lyes

a
Slanderer

a
false
Accuser

which
stands
true
upon
thee
still

will
for
ever

till
thou
remove
it
by
repentance

for
thou
canst
never
clear
thy self
any
otherways
;
and
thou
sayst
,
I
have
left
some
words
out
,
but
this
is
but
a
poor
catch
;
for
do
I
not
make
an
Et

at
the
end
of
thy
words
?
and
if
thou
wert
not
too
ignorant
,
thou
mightest
understand
that
which
follows
is
included

conjoyned

Then
thou
goest
on

sayst

I
am
offended

thou
shouldst
say
the
Devil
deceives
souls

by
bidding
them
follow
the
Light

they
brought
into
the
World

them

telling
them

that
will
lead
into
the
Kingdom

my

just

as
will
appear
,
though
thou
sayst
vainly
,
I
seem
to
be
gravelled
,
because
I
informed
thy
mistake
;
who
said
,
pervertingly
,
either
in
subtilty
,
or
for
want
of
wit
,
the
light
which
they
brought
into
the

them
;
when
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
Christ
is
the
Light
which
lighteth
every
man

Ioh.

which
Light
,
as
I
did
,
I
do
affirm
,
will
lead
into
the
Kingdom
of
peace
and
rest
;
and
deny
it
if
thou
canst
;
for
the
Light
of
Christ
,
doth
reveal
Christ
,
and
the
Light
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
then
thou
heaps
up
many
words
,
though
thou
falsly
sayst
,
I
corrupt
that
Scripture
Ioh.

yet
I
lay
it
down
in
its
own
words
,
and
say
,
that
is
,
or
was
the
true
Light
,
that
lights
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
and
that
Light
(
which
hath
so
done
)
will
lead
all
that
believes
into
the
Kingdom
,
for
Christ
said
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
;
and
though
thou
ignorantly
wouldst
seem
to
say
this
is
error
;
yet
I
affirm
it
,
that
the
same
which
saith
,
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
,
is
he
,
and
no
other
,
which
lighteth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
and
this
I
suppose
thou
wilt
call
a
filthy
error
;
but
the
filthiness
is
in
thy
own
heart
,
and
error
too
,
through
ignorance
of
the
knowledge
of
the
things
of
God
,
who
wouldst
fain
(
if
thou
could
)
make
it
appear
,
that
that
Christ

every
man
that

is
not
the
same
that
saith
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
,
Iohn
8.
12.
Thy
confused
words
seems
to
carry
this
meaning
;
let
the
Reader
judge
,
whether
that
be
not
the
same
Christ
Jesus
,
which
Iohn
speaks
of
;
Iohn
1.
9.
as
it
is
written
of
Iohn
8.
12.
and
though
thou
ignorantly
sayst
I
would
have
room
to
broach
my
folly
,
yet
thou
lets
out
of
thy
vessel
in
sides
of
leaves
,
of
Lyes
and
Slanders
and
Folly
;
and
thou
sayst
,
when
he
said
,
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
,
he
was
without
,
he
did
not
mean
any
light
within
,
and
thou
presumptuously
bids
me
deny
this
if
I
can
;
to
which
I
say
,
the
same
Christ
,
which
said
,
I
am
the
Light
of
the
World
,
was
he
which
was
before
Abraham
,
who
was
Light
to
the
Gentiles
,
and
lighteth
every
man
in
the
World
;
yea
,
he
was
and
is
given
to
be
a
Light
,
where
his
person
(
which
was
supposed
the
son
of
Ioseph
)
never
came
,
and
do
thou
deny
this
if
thou
canst
,
that
all
men
may
see
thy
Folly
;
for
there
is
not
many
Christs
,
but
one
Christ
,
which
is
not
only
within
,
but
without
,
not
only
without
,
but
within
,
but
is
all
and
in
all
;
let
him
that
read●
understand
.
Then
thou
sayst
,
the
Light
wherewith
Christ
,
as
he
is
God
,
lighted
every
one
,
is
the
Soul
of
man
,
which
is
the
Life
of
the
Body
,
and
is
a
Creature
,
and
hath
one
faculty
of
its
own
Nature
called
Conscience
.
Reply
,
Now
le
ts
try
this
Doctrine
,
and
consider
what
thou
hast
said
,
it
amoun●…
to
thus
much
,
that
Conscience
is
of
the
nature
of
the
Soul
of
man
,
and
the
soul
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
.
Therefore
thou
hast
said
the
Conscience
is
the
Light
of
God
which
must
needs
be
without
sin
;
this
is
more
then
I
have
or
dare
say
,
I
might
here
fitly
ask
thee
,
if
thou
knowst
what
the
word
Conscience
signifies
in
true
understanding
;
and
yet
though
thou
hast
uttered
this
,
that
Conscience
is
a
Faculty
of
the
soul
,
which
thou
sayst
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
,
which
Light
of
God
must
needs
be
of
the
nature
of
God
pure
,
and
not
impure
;
yet
in
the
next
page
thou
sayst
,
Conscience
is
a
poor
Dunghill
Creature
in
comparis●…
of
the
Spirit
,
&c.
and
in
another
page
calls
Conscience
poor
,
so
empty
beggerly
things
,
&c.
What
now
Iohn
Bunion
;
is
that
which
thou
hast
concluded
to
be
the
Light
of
God
,
but
a
dunghill-Creature
,
and
low
,
and
empty
,
and
beggerly
in
comparison
&c.
For
shame
cease
such
Divinity
,
lest
all
thy
Fellows
reprove
thee
;
O
how
doth
thy
ignorant
zeal
lead
thee
into
Snares
,
and
trape
thy
own
feet
.
And
to
confound
thy self
,
thou
sayst
,
Conscience
,
which
is
the
Light
of
God
,
is
Nature
it self
;
then
it
must
needs
be
that
every
mans
nature
(
which
is
sinful
say
I
)
it
the
Light
of
God
;
O
what
horrible
Doctrine
this
proves
in
its
explanation
!
Blush
,
and
be
ashamed
when
thou
considers
;
then
thou
cries
out
in
reproof
▪
O
wonderful
,
sayst
thou
,
That
men
should
make
a
God
,
and
Christ
of
their
Consciences
!
I
know
none
that
doth
it
,
nor
that
ever
spoke
so
highly
of
Conscience
,
〈◊〉
thou
hast
here
done
;
yet
we
say
our
Conscience
bears
us
witness
in
the
holy
Ghost
;
and
this
is
our
rejoycing
,
the
testimony
of
our
Consciences
;
〈◊〉
if
our
Consciences
condemn
us
not
,
then
have
we
confidence
towards
God
;
and
yet
makes
not
God
and
Christ
of
our
Conscience
,
as
thou
secretly
wouldst
charge
us
withall
:
Then
thou
goest
on
,
and
wouldst
seem
to
prove
,
but
canst
not
,
that
somthing
besides
the
Light
of
Christ
convinceth
of
sin
;
but
thy
reach
is
too
short
,
tho●…
thou
wind
abroad
,
and
lets
thy
thoughts
into
the
pit
of
thy
own
reason
,
to
bring
up
a
thing
to
confound
Truth
,
but
cannot
;
for
this
is
thy
proof
,
where
they
were
all
convinced
by
their
own
Consciences
Iohn
8.
Now
all
these
I
say
we●…
men
come
into
the
World
,
and
therefore
according
to
Iohn

9.
were
lighted
with
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
thou
hast
confessed
that
Conscience
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
;
which
is
no
less
then
I
have
affirmed
,
then
wherefore
hast
thou
waded
so
farr
,
when
at
the
end
thou
art
forced
to
confess
my
position
,
thy
words
being
explained
,
that
it
is
the
Light
of
Christ
that
doth
convince
of
sin
,
and
can
find
no
other
thing
besides
that
;
then
thou
sayst
,
here
is
somthing
besides
the
Spirit
of
Christ
that
doth
convince
of
sin
&c.
But
yet
I
say
,
nothing
besides
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
thou
hast
confessed
,
and
that
was
that
only
which
I
affirmed
in
the
tenth
page
of
mine
,
about
which
thou
hast
made
all
this
stir
,
and
to
no
purpose
,
(
as
to
prove
any
thing
convinceth
of
sin
but
the
Light
of
Christ
)
and
in
that
I
said
,
he
that
convinceth
of
sin
against
the
Law
,
leads
up
into
the
fulfiling
of
the
Law
,
which
still
I
own
,
though
thou
wouldst
contradict
it
,
but
canst
not
;
and
I
clearly
see
thou
hast
not
reached
the
understanding
of
my
words
,
but
answered
thy
own
conceiving
,
and
not
my
words
;
for
I
do
not
say
,
or
think
that
righteousness
comes
by
the
Law
,
yet
that
is
righteousness
,
which
condemneth
that
which
breaks
the
Law
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
;
and
as
I
said
it
is
the
Word
of
Truth
,
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
must
needs
be
fulfilled
in
Judgment
,
upon
you
all
,
and
by
Christ
Jesus
in
you
,
if
ever
you
receive
the
Salvation
to
your
Souls
;
and
thou
hast
not
yet
learned
what
I
mean
,
and
though
thou
sayst
,
that
for
justification
,
thou
lookst
beyond
the
Law
,
to
the
Son
of
Mary
;
but
I
say
thou
must
not
look
beyond
it
for
condemnation
,
who
art
in
transgression
,
and
not
reconciled
to
God
,
through
condemnation
in
the
flesh
,
for
it
will
reach
you
to
condemnation
;
and
thou
sayst
Thou
understandst
that
I
do
,
in
all
my
discourse
disown
Christ
without
,
by
pretending
to
a
Christ
within
;
To
which
I
say
,
thy
understanding
deceives
thee
,
who
,
it
may
be
feared
,
blinds
thy
own
eyes
;
that
thy
Conscience
may
not
condemn
thee
for
slandering
,
but
while
I
am
approved
in
the
sight
of
God
,
of
those
things
whereof
thou
accusest
me
falsly
,
and
wickedly
;
I
matter
nothing
what
a
Lyers
Judgements
is
of
me
,
my
Answer
to
thy
Query
shall
prove
me
clear
,
and
thee
a
Lyer
herein
,
that
we
own
Gods
Christ
as
the
Scripture
declares
of
him
,
as
I
have
said
,
and
the
darkness
of
my
words
is
to
blind
the
eye
of
subtilty
,
and
not
to
deceive
the
hearts
of
the
simple
(
though
thou
wouldst
say
it
)
see
if
thou
now
canst
tell
what
I
say
.
And
whereas
thou
art
offended
,
that
I
say
,
many
more
things
in
thy
Book
I
pass
by
,
as
being
not
pertinent
to
the
thing
in
hand
;
my
words
are
true
,
for
the
thing
in
hand
was
proving
us
Deceivers
,
and
that
was
the
most
of
which
I
medled
withal
,
or
purposed
to
oppose
;
and
to
other
things
that
thou
speakest
of
in
short
,
my
answer
was
,
and
is
the
words
(
or
of
some
of
them
)
I
own
,
and
thy
voice
I
deny
,
without
any
blaspheming
or
error
,
in
the
view
of
all
the
World
(
though
thou
wouldst
say
it
)
for
whatsoever
a
lying
spirit
speaks
,
I
deny
it
to
be
the
voice
of
Christ
,
though
it
may
be
some
of
his
words
;
and
thy
spirit
is
a
lying
spirit
:
And
though
thou
art
offended
that
I
should
say
Fools
loves
to
be
medling
,
yet
its
true
enough
,
is
not
he
a
Fool
who
is
a
Lyer
and
a
Slanderer
,
that
understands
not
betwixt
before
a
time
,
and
since
a
time
,
judge
in
thy
own
Conscience
;
and
thy
fair
words
,
as
that
it
must
needs
be
(
sayst
thou
)
That
the
Saints
of
God
must
be
called
Fool
;
I
say
,
never
presume
the
name
of
Saint
,
but
clear
thy self
of
thy
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
perverting
Scriptures
,
and
learn
the
First
principle
of
Religion
;
Even
that
which
Condemns
thee
.
And
as
to
that
which
I
say
〈◊〉
true
,
that
the
Pope
can
speak
as
much
of
Christ
without
as
thou
,
I
own
it
,
and
may
add
;
I
believe
he
can
speak
more
then
thou
of
Christ
without
,
and
with
as
good
,
or
better
understanding
;
though
both
a
like
far
from
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
yet
in
thy
Answer
,
thou
askest
me
,
if
I
put
〈◊〉
difference
betwixt
the
speaking
of
;
and
beleeving
in
Christ
without
;
Yea
,
I
do
a
great
deal
,
for
he
that
believes
in
him
,
hath
the
Witness
in
himself
of
him
,
and
his
heart
is
purifyed
,
and
he
is
a
new
Creature
,
which
thou
art
not
,
but
thou
I
suppose
wouldst
be
reckoned
a
Believer
;
nay
,
for
I
think
the
Pope
hath
both
more
words
,
and
more
good
works
,
and
makes
as
much
Conscience
of
lying
and
false
accusing
as
thou
,
for
ought
as
may
be
understood
,
of
a
tree
by
the
fruits
,
which
is
our
way
to
judge
,
as
Christ
hath
given
us
example
;
then
is
that
I
said
thou
hast
answered
thy self
a
question
deceitful
,
thou
art
offended
,
and
boasts
thy self
against
me
,
Charging
me
to
be
an
Enemy
to
the
truth
,
and
the
li●●
,
in
that
I
did
not
manifest
thy
deceit
;
but
now
I
shall
therefore
,
to
stop
thy
pro●…
boasts
in
that
answer
,
thou
calls
it
a
sad
doctrine
which
saith
,
follow
the
Light
which
Christ
hath
enlightned
every
man
withall
,
and
other
such
like
things
following
that
question
,
which
are
deceitful
,
and
wicked
,
and
thou
thereby
art
proved
the
Enemy
to
truth
thy self
,
and
thou
and
thy
words
are
both
deceitful
;
and
therefore
boast
not
thy self
:
Then
thou
answers
my
Question
,
which
was
,
doth
not
the
Scripture
witness
that
all
who
have
not
Christ
are
Reprobates
?
the
Question
is
sound
,
and
of
worth
to
be
noted
,
and
in
thy
answer
thou
sayst
,
yet
it
is
true
,
to
which
I
soberly
Reply
,
then
what
a
condition
are
all
in
,
that
hath
〈◊〉
Christ
within
,
nor
no
knowledge
of
him
,
but
what
they
have
of
him
as
he
is
without
,
by
the
letter
without
,
do
thou
consider
this
;
and
whether
it
be
not
of
the
chiefest
prize
to
Life
and
Salvation
,
to
wait
for
him
,
and
seek
for
him
within
,
seeing
all
that
have
not
him
within
are
Reprobates
.
But
farther
thou
wouldst
seem
to
manifest
a
great
deal
of
folly
in
me
,
when
as
the
folly
lies
in
thy
own
bosome
,
and
by
thy
confused
words
,
I
understand
th●…
groundst
thy
Answer
upon
alye
,
and
false
understanding
,
and
therefrom
bring●…
the
false
reproof
,
as
if
I
should
hold
forth
that
every
man
hath
received
Chri●…
or
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
him
.
This
I
have
never
said
,
but
that
every
man
hath
the
Light
of
Christ
gi●…
him
which
I
say
is
one
in
union
,
with
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
and
I
say
Christ
〈◊〉
given
to
all
,
but
all
receives
him
not
;
and
I
see
thou
understands
not
my
for●…
words
that
I
write
in
answer
to
one
of
thy
Queries
,
thou
canst
not
disting●…
betwixt
a
thing
being
given
of
God
,
and
a
thing
being
received
by
man
,
so
〈◊〉
the
folly
is
fallen
back
on
thee
,
take
it
,
who
understands
not
my
words
,
〈◊〉
opposes
thy
own
conceivings
,
and
false
understanding
;
and
though
I
might
〈◊〉
truly
apply
this
word
folly
in
that
extent
,
then
thou
applyed
the
like
word
〈◊〉
thy self
in
this
same
page
,
yet
I
leave
it
to
the
judgement
of
the
serious
Reader
,
and
say
,
thy
folly
is
want
of
wit
in
the
World
,
and
not
for
Ch●…
sake
:
Then
thou
wouldst
defend
thy
first
wickedness
,
in
that
thou
saidst
the
Devil
deceives
Souls
,
by
perswading
them
to
follow
the
Light
within
,
which
all
men
have
;
but
my
answer
to
it
thou
hast
not
reached
,
in
that
I
said
,
〈◊〉
that
comes
to
Life
eternal
must
follow
the
Light
within
which
Christ
ha●…
given
,
which
stands
over
thy
head
for
ever
to
be
truth
;
but
yet
how
bli●…
art
thou
in
confessing
the
Light
within
,
even
Conscience
to
be
the
Light
〈◊〉
Christ
as
God
,
and
yet
sayst
,
the
Devil
deceives
souls
by
bidding
follow
the
Light
within
.
O
abominable
doctrine
!
what
doth
the
Devil
deceive
souls
by
bidding
fo●…
the
Light
of
Christ
as
God
?
so
Iohn
Bunion's
doctrine
is
;
let
it
be
noted
:
〈◊〉
see
thou
thy
folly
how
it
is
manifest
,
and
thy
pittiful
evasions
are
weighed
,
〈◊〉
stead
of
contradicting
my
former
sufficient
answer
,
which
thou
could
no
〈◊〉
reach
to
wrest
,
or
otherwise
to
answer
it
,
askes
a
question
,
which
I
may
ans●
assoon
as
thou
hast
sufficiently
replyed
to
my
former
answer
,
and
this
is
in
〈◊〉
an
answer
to
it
;
it
is
heresie
to
say
,
that
the
Light
of
God
(
or
any
Light
of
〈◊〉
or
Christ
)
can
or
doth
deceive
the
Soul
;
and
though
thou
stumble
at
it
,
I
said
〈◊〉
in
saying
,
that
thy
whole
purpose
is
a
secret
smiting
against
the
Light
within
,
〈◊〉
the
Reader
judge
.
And
now
to
manifest
thy
ignorance
fully
;
thou
hast
confessed
the
Light
wit●…
even
Conscience
is
the
Light
of
God
;
hast
not
thou
cause
to
repent
of
〈◊〉
absurdities
and
blindness
,
who
holds
forth
,
that
the
Devil
deceives
Souls
by
the
Light
of
God
,
seeing
thou
canst
find
no
Light
within
man
,
but
that
which
thou
confessest
is
the
Light
of
God
.
Then
thou
sayes
,
Thy
whole
design
was
first
to
shew
Souls
where
Salvation
is
to
be
bad
,
namely
in
Christ
without
,
and
yet
hath
confessed
,
all
that
hath
him
not
within
are
Reprobates
,
and
such
have
not
salvation
,
by
him
without
;
Consider
therefore
,
without
Christ
within
no
Salvation
,
as
I
have
said
,
and
thou
hast
confessed
it
,
(
Mark
it
)
then
to
clear
thy self
from
contradiction
,
which
I
charged
thee
with
,
thou
wouldst
cast
a
confusion
upon
me
,
in
that
thou
says
,
I
would
make
a
defiled
Conscience
,
the
Law
and
Spirit
of
Christ
to
be
all
one
;
This
is
falsly
spoken
,
I
have
never
said
,
nor
thought
,
that
a
defiled
Conscience
is
the
Law
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
a
Lyer
thou
art
to
be
noted
,
and
this
Lye
adds
to
the
number
;
and
yet
consider
thou
hast
said
(
several
time
)
that
Consciences
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
;
and
now
calls
Conscience
defiled
;
Is
the
Light
of
God
defiled
?
Iohn
Bunnion
,
saith
so
;
O
horrid
!
read
thou
thy
confusion
,
and
grievous
Error
,
which
is
brought
to
thy
Door
,
and
there
I
leave
it
;
thou
mayst
Blush
,
and
all
thy
Witnesses
at
this
;
and
in
that
thou
callst
my
Answer
Scoulding
,
against
thy
Epistle
,
and
persumptuously
sayst
,
The
truth
of
which
thou
couldst
be
willing
to
seal
with
thy
Blood
.
Reply
,
Scoulding
I
deny
,
but
I
have
reproved
thy
Lyes
in
the
Authority
of
the
Lord
,
and
be
not
so
proudly
puft
up
in
boasting
:
what
sayst
thou
?
shall
thy
Blood
go
for
this
,
that
the
Quakers
are
Deceivers
,
and
that
the
Devil
deceives
Souls
,
by
bidding
them
follow
the
Light
within
,
which
thou
sayst
is
Conscience
,
which
thou
confesses
is
the
Light
of
God
,
and
that
the
Blood
of
Christ
was
shed
before
the
World
was
,
and
that
the
Scripture
say
so
,
and
that
we
deny
that
Salvation
was
compleatly
wrought
by
the
man
Christ
Jesus
,
with
several
other
things
noted
for
Lyes
;
what
sayst
thou
Iohn
Bunnion
?
art
thou
so
desparte
as
that
thou
wilt
hazard
thy
Blood
upon
this
account
?
if
it
be
so
,
sure
the
Devil
hath
great
power
over
thee
;
cease
thy
boasting
lest
the
Lord
make
thee
an
Example
,
and
though
thou
wouldst
exhort
me
,
thy
spirit
I
deny
,
and
so
thy
words
I
judge
,
and
cannot
receive
good
from
an
evil
Spirit
:
Then
thou
comes
on
,
falling
on
thy
own
foul
ignorance
again
,
and
wouldst
fain
clear
thy self
,
but
by
thy
stirring
thy
own
wickedness
herein
,
thou
makes
it
cast
an
odious
sight
to
all
that
pass
by
,
(
we
may
follow
thee
a
little
,
seeing
thou
art
not
yet
weary
)
and
fain
wouldst
thou
make
it
appear
that
the
Blood
of
Christ
was
shed
before
the
World
was
,
and
sayst
it
was
,
in
Gods
account
;
but
to
this
I
have
spoken
,
and
largely
shewed
thy
blindness
to
all
men
,
and
adds
this
upon
thy
head
;
thou
art
a
Lyar
and
Perverter
of
Scripture
to
say
,
That
the
Blood
of
Christ
was
shed
before
the
World
was
.
And
further
thou
art
a
Lyer
,
to
say
,
That
God
accounts
a
thing
for
Truth
which
is
a
Lye
;
a
sad
error
,
and
wicked
.
And
further
thou
art
a
Lyar
,
to
say
,
that
I
corrupt
thy
woods
:
for
I
had
not
laid
open
thy
nakedness
so
fully
,
if
thou
hadst
not
persisted
in
thy
blindness
,
as
now
I
am
forced
to
do
,
but
enough
of
this
,
and
more
then
ever
thou
canst
clear
thy self
of
honestly
;
and
yet
to
cover
thy
own
shame
charges
me
falsly
with
folly
,
to
speak
evil
of
things
I
know
not
,
or
else
with
madness
,
&c.
Reply
,
Friend
,
be
not
so
confident
,
I
know
the
difference
betwixt
,
before
,
and
since
,
or
from
,
and
know
that
God
accounts
not
a
Lye
for
Truth
(
as
thou
holds
out
)
thy
own
folly
and
madness
;
behold
,
who
commits
iniquity
in
lying
on
the
Scripture
,
and
on
God
,
and
on
me
,
and
yet
persists
after
a
sober
reproof
,
and
resists
the
Reprover
,
with
opprobrious
words
,
let
confusion
of
face
cover
thy
impudent
forehead
,
while
I
forgive
thee
,
and
seeks
not
vengeance
against
thee
;
then
through
thy
mistake
of
my
words
,
thou
hast
falsly
gathered
a
subject
to
oppose
,
and
fights
with
thy
own
understanding
mightily
,
and
thinkst
thou
confoundst
me
,
and
its
thy self
;
for
however
thou
understands
my
words
,
either
for
want
of
wit
,
or
otherwise
,
it
never
entred
into
my
thoughts
,
with
charging
thee
to
believe
that
Christ
is
a
tipe
;
only
I
charge
thee
that
thou
saidst
so
of
others
;
So
that
I
think
this
is
a
mistake
in
thee
for
want
of
knowledge
to
understand
my
rehersal
of
thy
words
,
being
transcribed
as
the
shortest
,
not
to
fill
volumes
,
and
through
thy
own
misunderstanding
of
my
laying
down
the
words
,
thou
heavily
,
yet
vainly
charges
me
with
corrupting
thy
words
,
which
God
is
my
witness
I
have
not
done
,
though
thou
be
guilty
herein
.
But
further
,
I
deal
plainly
,
and
slanders
not
in
secret
,
as
thou
dost
,
we
do
not
look
on
Christ
to
be
but
a
shadow
and
tipe
,
if
thou
affirm
I
shall
answer
further
,
and
as
to
that
(
thou
sayst
)
I
say
Jesus
is
the

;
to
that
answer
I

Reply

As
I
have
said
I
seek
not
a
proof
of
my
faith
of
thee
,
nor
any
man
,
not
do
I
beg
thy
belief
while
I
am
approved
in
the
sight
of
God
,
herein
I
matter
not
what
a
lying
spirit
doubts
of
me
,
so
that
what
vain
Arguments
,
or
Queries
thou
raises
from
thy
own
false
doubt
I
pass
by
,
being
by
the
present
thing
,
branching
out
in
things
on
the
by
,
if
I
should
examine
every
particular
,
I
might
fill
a
vollume
.
And
whereas
thou
hast
answered
my
question
,
which
is
;
did
Christ
put
an
end
to
the
Law
for
them
,
who
yet
live
in
the
transgression
of
the
Law
?
or
doth
he
justifie
that
which
the
Law
condemns
,
before
the
work
of
the
Law
be
finished
?
In
thy
Answer
thou
sayst
,
Christ
did
put
an
end
to
the
Law
for
Righteousness
,
for
all
that
the
Father
hath
given
him
,
This
is
little
to
the
Question
:
I
say
that
Transgressors
of
the
Law
,
are
not
Christs
,
but
Children
of
Disobedience
,
and
Children
of
Wrath
,
and
such
God
hath
not
given
to
Christ
,
who
are
his
Enemies
,
nor
Christ
to
them
is
not
given
,
but
to
condemn
them
is
that
estate
,
and
thou
sayst
there
are
many
given
to
Christ
,
who
yet
lives
is
their
sins
;
the
Apostle
Iohn
saith
,
he
that
sins
is
of
the
Devil
,
and
hath
〈◊〉
known
God
,
and
such
as
are
of
the
Devil
are
not
Christs
;
and
in
that
I
sa●…
,
doth
Christ
justifie
that
which
the
Law
condemns
before
the
work
of
the
Law
〈◊〉
finished
,
and
not
one
tittle
of
the
Law
shall
fail
,
till
all
be
fulfilled
?
thou
hast
〈◊〉
reached
the
understanding
of
my
words
,
for
while
disobedience
stands
and
the
Transgressor
lives
,
the
work
of
the
Law
is
not
finished
,
nor
fulfilled
,
but
to
that
is
Condemnation
,
and
not
Justification
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
,
for
he
that
transgresseth
the
Law
is
an
Enemy
to
Christ
,
and
Christ
fulfills
not
the
Law
for
his
Enemies
,
they
must
bear
their
own
burthen
;
and
though
this
thou
cannot
understand
now
,
yet
in
the
day
of
Judgement
shalt
thou
feel
it
,
and
when
the
burthen
of
thy
own
Inquity
is
upon
thee
,
then
shalt
thou
confess
to
what
I
have
said
,
and
read
me
in
what
now
thou
canst
not
understand
;
and
in
the
mean
time
,
I
deny
that
Christ
hath
put
an
end
to
the
Law
for
thee
,
who
art
a
Lyar
,
and
breaks
one
,
and
so
is
guilty
of
all
.
Many
of
thy
words
might
be
weighed
and
searched
,
but
I
am
no
pic●…
of
quarrels
;
but
to
my
last
Query
,
thou
sayst
little
to
the
purpose
,
which
is
;
what
assurance
have
any
,
that
the
Law
is
fulfilled
for
them
,
who
〈◊〉
yet
Transgressors
of
it
,
in
themselves
?
but
sayst
,
Assurance
comes
th●…
believing
and
obedience
to
the
Law
is
a
fruit
of
believing
,
&c.
Saying
〈◊〉
one
that
hath
the
hope
of
the
Son
of
God
purifies
himself
as
he
(
Christ
)
〈◊〉
pure
.
Reply
,
Then
he
that
hath
not
the
fruit
,
(
viz.
)
obedience
to
the
Law
,
〈◊〉
may
judge
by
the
fruit
,
or
for
want
of
fruit
is
no
Believer
;
and
he
that
is
〈◊〉
purifyed
as
he
is
pure
(
Christ
)
hath
not
the
hope
of
being
the
Son
of
God
but
is
without
hope
,
now
see
where
thou
art
,
who
yet
breaks
the
Law
,
and
〈◊〉
without
(
thy
own
noted
)
fruit
of
believing
,
neither
is
purifyed
as
he
is
pure
,
and
so
is
without
hope
,
this
is
according
to
thy
own
affirmation
;
if
th●…
canst
not
bear
it
,
blame
thy self
for
laying
down
such
a
position
,
as
hath
pro●…
thy self
to
be●an
Unbeliever
,
and
without
hope
;
and
so
without
God
in
the
World
;
one
that
is
for
condemnation
,
and
to
be
judged
in
the
state
where
now
thou
standst
.
And
whereas
thou
sayst
,
I
would
lay
assurance
on
obedience
to
the
Law
;
thou
lyest
in
this
also
,
my
words
are
,
the
Law
must
be
fulfilled
in
you
by
Christ
,
in
Judgement
and
in
Righteousness
,
if
ever
you
receive
Salvation
,
and
these
words
are
true
against
all
thy
opposition
,
neither
do
I
affirm
that
by
the
deeds
of
the
Law
any
flesh
living
shall
be
justified
(
but
the
contrary
)
though
thou
wouldst
falsly
(
yet
secretly
)
cast
it
upon
me
,
and
wickedly
callst
this
my
forthy
argument
,
where
I
said
the
Law
convinceth
,
and
is
a
School-master
to
bring
to
Christ
,
&c.
But
the
froth
proceeds
out
of
thy
mouth
,
for
this
Argument
comprehends
thee
,
and
stands
out
of
thy
reach
,
for
all
thy
detestable
speeches
against
me
,
and
the
truth
;
and
the
rest
of
my
following
words
thou
hast
passed
by
,
where
I
say
,
who
owns
not
that
which
convinceth
of
sin
,
how
can
they
own
him
that
takes
it
away
by
his
Blood
?
and
this
is
truth
;
and
tell
me
in
●ust●ess
according
to
my
first
Query
in
that
page
,
how
is
sin
taken
away
●●om
thee
,
more
then
from
the
Pope
?
seeing
neither
of
you
hath
the
fruit
of
ceasing
to
commit
sin
:
And
art
not
thou
in
the
froth
,
who
opposes
me
,
as
though
(
I
should
say
yet
never
did
nor
thought
)
that
justification
must
be
sought
by
the
deeds
of
the
Law
,
and
so
gathers
a
false
conception
,
and
fights
with
it
,
and
keeps
thy self
doing
in
nine
sheets
against
four
,
and
yet
hast
passed
over
many
speciall
things
,
almost
the
chiefest
;
and
though
no
flesh
shall
be
justified
by
the
deeds
of
the
Law
,
yet
must
all
flesh
living
be
condemned
for
the
transgression
of
the
Law
by
Christ
,
who
freely
gives
Life
to
all
that
believes
;
if
thou
hast
an
ear
thou
mayst
hear
;
in
the
next
thou
seemst
(
or
wouldst
at
least
)
to
defend
thy self
from
my
charge
which
shall
(
if
it
doth
not
)
lie
heavy
upon
thee
,
which
is
that
I
call
thee
Slanderer
,
and
truly
too
,
from
thy
words
,
where
thou
falsly
accused
the
Qunkers
with
boasting
,
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
in
thy
answer
thou
sayst
,
I
need
not
be
offended
,
for
thou
dost
not
know
our
fellow
,
for
boasting
,
in
that
(
thou
sayst
)
we
●ry●p
our selves
,
and
condemn
all
others
,
&c.
But
this
is
no
proof
of
the
former
Accusation
,
but
an
addition
to
thy
former
wickedness
,
let
honest
men
consider
I
asked
thee
when
thou
didst
▪
hear
any
of
them
boast
,
or
see
them
live
in
Hypocrisie
;
but
not
a
word
to
this
sober
desire
,
but
adds
sin
to
sin
,
a
bad
way
to
clear
thy self
,
and
thy
God
,
Be
ashamed
;
for
crying
up
self
,
we
deny
,
but
yet
must
say
,
or
else
say
falsly
,
That
we
are
of
God
,
and
the
whole
World
lies
in
wickedness
,
and
he
that
is
of
God
heareth
us
,
and
is
one
with
us
;
and
this
is
as
the
Saints
testified
,
and
is
neither
boasting
nor
Hypocrifie
;
then
to
my
question
,
which
was
;
Will
that
Faith
which
is
without
works
justifie
?
and
thou
sayst
no
,
&c.
Then
I
Reply
,
what
is
thy
condition
and
theirs
,
who
are
not
only
without
works
of
faith
;
but
in
thy
very
work
of
darkness
,
as
Lying
and
false
Accusing
,
&c.
And
seeing
thou
sayst
no
,
Consider
,
whether
thou
hast
faith
,
and
whether
thy
works
which
are
like
good
workes
proceed
not
from
the
unbeleiving
ground
,
and
this
I
add
to
my
next
I
asked
which
thou
hast
passed
by
;
must
not
every
one
receive
according
to
their
deeds
,
in
the
day
of
Judgement
;
and
then
thou
runs
out
in
high
words
against
me
,
in
that
I
said
,
if
to
talk
of
him
(
Christ
)
his
Birth
,
Blood
,
&c.
Were
Faith
in
him
,
and
living
by
faith
,
then
few
would
want
it
;
and
further
I
add
the
Pope
himself
would
have
it
,
and
my
words
are
just
and
honest
,
without
exception
or
contradiction
,
but
only
that
something
thou
must
needs
say
;
though
thou
say
many
can
talk
of
Christ
,
that
will
fall
short
of
Heaven
,
&c.
And
asks
me
a
question
,
and
sayst
,
Is
there
not
enough
in
them
,
(
〈◊〉
)
Birth
Blood
,
&c.
to
justifie
,
&c.
I
answer
the
knowledge
of
all
things
whatsoever
without
,
will
not
justifie
,
except
Christ
be
within
,
and
if
he
be
within
,
the
power
of
his
Life
,
Blood
,
Birth
,
&c.
is
known
and

Beguiling
is
thy
own
,
and
corrupting
of
Scriptures
too
,
as
is
proved
,
and
whilst
thou
accuses
us
falsly
in
these
things
,
thy self
art
proved
truly
guilty
,
in
the
sight
of
all
that
are
spiritual
;
and
as
to
thy
charging
me
,
That
the
man
Christ
Iesus
is
not
very
pleasant
to
me
,
And
with
Scoulding
,
&c.
Thy
slanders
I
bear
with
patience
,
and
thy
reproaches
which
is
not
for
evil
,
but
for
Christs
sake

cease
to

Thou
art
ruled
by

a
Lyar

and
Slanderer
,
and
Preverter
of
Scriptures
,
is
not
led
with
the
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scripture
,
but
is
ruled
by
the
Devil
,
and
is
out
of

rule
:
then
thou
goes
on

justifie
thy
ignorant
saying

answer
to
it
thou
hast
not
touched
,
nor
truly
contradicted
,
which
stands
over
thee
,
and
is
sufficient
to
all
honest
people
,
and
Christ
we
own
the
same
yesterday
to
day
&
for
ever
;
and
doth
believe
the
Father
granted
that
request
,
and
he
is
glorified
with
the
same
glory
that
he
had
before
the
World
was
,
and
though
thou
tell
me
of
a
double
meaning
,
yet
in
plainness
I
speak
without
doubleness
,
the
fault
is
in
thy
weakness
,
and
sottishness
,
and
blindness
of
heart
,
who
kno●…
not
that
which
is
infinite
and
immortal
,
and
eternal
,
the
flesh
of
Christs
body
is
so
.
Then
thou
falsly
charges
me
again
(
in
that
I
said
)
if
every
spirit
be
of
God
which
doth
in
words
confess
thus
(
viz.
)
that
Christ
was
with
the
Father
before
the
World
was
(
was
born
and
suffered
in
the
flesh
and
was
buried
and
raised
,

then
is

the

thou

of

I
reprove
thee
,

sometimes
may
not

it

for
Christ
is
my
example
herein
,
who
reproved
the
Devils
,
though
they
confessed
him
,
(
Mark
that
)
but
the
chief
part
of
my

are

over
again
,

if
it

where
I

It

the

are

Answ.
That

I

Nay
hold

repent
first
,
and
be
turned
from
thy
iniquities
,
and
believe

boast
not
thy self

proudly
;
thou
art
in
the
transgressions
of
the
Law
in
disobedience
to
it
,
a
Lyar

Slanderer
,

Scorner

one
that
the

rules
in

shall

Then
thou

me

weakness

cries

as
thou
confessest
,
is
not
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
to
the
Grace
of
God
,
but
is
one
in
their
nature
(
Mark
)
and
a
man
cannot
possibly
love
one
of
them
,
and
hate
another
;
therefore
one
they
are
,
in
the
union
,
leading
in
the
same
way
,
unto
the
same
End
;
and
where
doth
the
Spirit
of
Christ
give
light
,
or
the
Grace
of
God
work
or
lead
,
if
not
in
the
Conscience
?
&c.
These
are
my
words
,
Now
let
honest
men
consider
,
and
Iohn
Bunnion
be
silent
,
what
foolishness
or
wonderful
weakness
,
is
in
these
words
,
but
only
to
the
wisdom
which
is
devillish
,
which
despiseth
truth
?
or
what
cause
was
there
to
blush
,
when
I
wrote
them
?
as
he
impudently
saith
,
who
cannot
contradict
them
,
nor
reprove
them
,
and
yet
railes
upon
them
:
no
marvel
that
thou
wouldst
pass
them
,
as
thou
sayst
with
such
a
poor
shift
to
evade
with
a
Lye
,
that
thou
hast
spoken
to
it
already
,
when
as
thou
hast
not
medled
of
these
things
.
O
let
not
thy
impudency
so
sottishly
carry
thee
,
(
for
thy
shame
is
seen
and
laid
open
,
its
good
(
in
thy
light
)
to
pass
that
which
confounds
thee
,
which
is
past
answering
)
so
to
save
thy
credit
among
thy
fellows
;
the
cause
to
blush
is
in
thy self
,
and
it
s
brought
to
thy
own
door
.
Then
thou
pleads
for
the
Scripture
to
be
the
Rule
in
opposition
to
my
Question
,
which
is
not
answered
;
which
was
,
can
there
be
any
surer
thing
for
the
Creature
to
look
to
,
to
walk
to
Life
,
or
to
come
to
God
by
,
then
the
Light
of
Christ
which
every
man
hath
given
him
,
&c.
But
thou
mayst
for
shame
cease
pleading
for
Scripture
rule
,
being
thy self
art
so
far
contrary
to
it
;
for
he
that
walks
in
the
Life
of
the
Scripture
,
I
have
union
with
him
,
and
the
Light
of
Christ
is
a
more
surer
Testimony
,
either
to
witness
Justification
or
Condemnation
,
then
any
mans
words
without
,
whatsoever
;
then
my
other
Question
was
,
whether
the
Turks
,
Iewes
,
and
thee
,
and
others
,
do
serve
sin
and
lust
,
because
Christ
hath
not
given
you
Light
to
discover
your
sins
,
or
because
you
hate
that
Light
,
that
is
given
?
and
much
to
this
thou
speakest
not
pertinent
,
nor
answerest
in
plainness
;
I
leave
it
to
the
Reader
to
judge
,
and
to
read
my
answer
Page
17.
of
my
first
,
which
clears
truth
from
all
what
thou
hast
said
against
it
in
this
particular
.
Now
I
come
to
the
next
thing
,
where
thou
Foolishly
chargest
me
,
That
my
Doctrine
is
not
according
to
Truth
,
but
a
Lye
,
Charging
me
to
affirm
that
which
the
Apostle
doth
deny
;
Because
I
said
the
Spirit
is
given
to
every
man
,
though
every
man
receives
it
not
;
and
it
strives
with
the
wicked
,
though
he
follow
it
not
,
&c.
My
words
herein
are
Truth
,
and
no
Lye
,
neither
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
●…nd
let
the
Reader
be
judge
betwixt
us
;
the
Apostle
saith
the
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
is
given
to
every
man
to
profit
withal
;
and
some
of
these
to
whom
he
writes
thus
,
were
wicked
,
given
to
incest
and
idolatry
,
and
other
sins
;
here
I
prove
,
it
was
given
to
the
wicked
,
and
thou
confesses
the
Righteous
had
it
,
and
there
is
but
these
two
on
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
Now
if
thou
canst
find
a
man
that
is
neither
wicked
,
nor
righteous
,
then
thou
hast
advantage
,
then
some
hath
not
the
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
;
the
Saints
had
the
Comforter
,
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
he
(
the
Spirit
of
Truth
)
convinced
or
reproved
the
World
of
sin
;
they
that
were
not
Saints
,
but
wicked
had
it
,
reproving
them
;
Mark
these
things
,
and
let
honest
men
judge
,
while
both
thou
and
I
am
silent
,
whether
thy
Doctrine
,
which
denyes
that
which
the
Scripture
affirms
,
or
mi●…
which
bears
witness
to
the
same
thing
which
the
Scriptures
speaks
,
be
to
be
disowned
,
let
an
equal
Line
measure
;
the
shame
,
and
false
Doctrine
is
fallen
upon
thee
,
and
thou
art
offended
(
that
I
should
say
thou
bringst
other
vain
Arguments
)
with
a
vapour
,
saying
,
Neither
I
,
nor
my
fellows
are
able
to
answer
,
&c.
But
I
say
true
,
the
Arguments
are
vain
,
one
is
,
The
Devils
are
convinced
,
but
have
not
the
Spirit
,
or
such
like
,
Now
what
is
this
to
the
purpose
,
that
thou
contendst
in
that
wherein
no
body
strives
with
thee
,
nor
none
affirms
against
thee
;
and
it
is
a
vain
Argument
to
parallel
the
Devil
in
such
a
case
,
as
having
the
Spirit
;
but
thou
art
so
blind
,
it
s
hardly
possible
to
let
thee
see
thy
ignorance
herein
;
I
may
not
much
strive
with
thee
,
onely
I
le
tell
thee
of
those
thing●…
and
the
sober
Reader
shall
judge
;
to
instance
a
thing
impossible
,
to
pro●…
things
possible
,
are
vain
Arguments
,
so
that
I
have
herein
done
thee
no
wro●…
Then
thou
cries
out
of
my
weakness
,
and
that
I
Blaspheme
,
and
of
a
great
〈◊〉
of
ignorance
discovered
in
me
,
and
bidst
me
be
silent
,
and
falsly
charges
me
with
Presumption
,
and
such
like
,
&c.
Because
I
said
,
thus
much
I
leave
with
thee
,
〈◊〉
thou
prove
the
Light
of
Christ
,
(
which
thou
confesseth

I

and
like
the
Spirit

even
as
good
as
the

,
according
to
its
measure
;
these
are
my
words
,

and
I
own
them
,
and
thy
answer
to
them
is
no
contradiction

confutation

them

lyest

saying

thou

;
Nay
,
thy
simple
policy
is
too
short
,
when
thou
hadst
done
so
,
then
had
been
a
time
to
have
cast
these
opprobrious
speeches
at
me
,
like
venome
from

;
but
the
weakness
(
or
strength
of
error
)
and
blasphemy
,
and
the
great
deal
of
ignorance

is

〈◊〉
thou

Then
thou
goes
about
to

in

And
my

this
is

and
unreproved

thou

turn
in
,
and
listen
to
that
Light
spoken
of
Iohn
1.
9.
for
that
Light
am
I
contending
for
,
and
not
any
other
contrary
to
it
;
then
thou
sayst
,
thou
denyst
.
beyond
thy
reach
either
to
understand
or
contradict
?
thou
wants
that
Spirit
which
can
examine
of
truth
,
be
it
known
unto
thee
;
and
what
are
those
unseemly
expressions
?
wilt
thou
slander
always
in
secret
,
without
evidence
?
and
if
these
be
they
,
in
that
I
said
,
our
innocency
will
appear
when
thy
black
vaile
of
Lyes
is
taken
away
;
and
this
is
truth
,
and
is
no
way
but
seemly
to
be
spoken
to
thee
,
who
art
an
Enemy
of
God
;
then
thou
wouldst
justifie
thy
former
slander
,
who
said
,
we
wrest
that
Scripture
,
Iohn
1.
9.
And
my
answer
is
,
we
take
it
without
adding
or
diminishing
,
which
is
true
,
and
no
Lye
,
nor
wresting
of
it
;
neither
in
thy
Reply
can
I
find
that
thou
provest
it
,
though
many
words
uttered
,
little
to
the
purpose
,
with
adding
to
thy
former
slanders
,
in
saying
,
We
would
hold
that
that
Light
is
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
this
is
not
spoken
in
all
my
Book
,
but
that
it
is
one
in
union
I
say
,
and
not
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
witnesseth
of
it
,
and
to
it
.
And
thou
further
saith
,
We
say
many
things
,
which
thou
knowest
to
be
Blasphemy
;
This
is
another
Lye
,
prove
one
Blasphemy
.
And
further
thou
sayst
,
Christ
,
as
he
is
Mediator
,
doth
not
enlighten
every
one
that
comes
into
the
World
,
&c.
Reply
,
Well
,
thy
ignorance
and
wickedness
vents
it self
forth
apace
,
let
any
man
read
that
first
Chapter
of
Iohn
,
and
see
whether
he
doth
not
speak
of
Christ
as
Mediator
;
he
saith
,
He
was
in
the
beginning
with
the
Father
,
and
was
made
flesh
and
dwelt
with
the
Disciples
;
and
his
Life
was
the
Light
of
men
,
and
the
Light
shined
in
Darkness
;
and
that
was
he
which
lighteth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
;
and
he
came
to
his
own
,
but
they
received
him
not
,
but
as
many
as
received
him
,
to
them
he
gave
power
to
become
the
Sons
of
God
,
&c.
What
sayst
thou
?
Was
not
this
spoken
of
Christ
as
Mediator
?
Consider
,
and
be
instructed
,
rather
then
let
thy
Blood
go
for
it
;
however
I
leave
thy
Doctrine
and
Errors
herein
to
be
judged
by
them
that
are
spiritual
,
and
for
shame
cease
such
Doctrine
,
the
more
I
rake
among
the
filth
,
the
more
vilely
and
odious
it
appears
;
and
for
thy
proof
of
this
Doctrine
,
thou
bringst
Mat.
11.
25.
and
sayst
,
here
the
Father
and
the
Son
are
speaking
one
to
another
;
but
what
doth
this
prove
,
though
it
be
so
?
doth
it
any
way
follow
that
Iohn
did
not
speak
of
Christ
as
Mediator
?
Iohn
1.
what
vain
productions
thou
bringst
from
thy
impertinent
proofs
,
let
them
be
weighed
,
and
taken
notice
of
honestly
;
and
thou
bidst
me
understand
thus
much
,
That
nature
which
is
Conscience
,
is
the
Light
of
God
.
I
understand
thy
blindness
;
if
this
be
so
as
thou
sayst
,
then
mans
nature
is
pure
without
sin
,
as
the
Light
of
God
is
;
and
this
is
error
abominable
,
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
which
saith
,
All
by
nature
are
the
Children
of
Wrath
;
are
all
by
the
Light
of
God
(
as
thou
sayst
nature
is
)
Children
of
Wrath
?
see
thy
Divinity
,
and
take
it
as
it
is
truly
interpreted
,
I
desire
not
to
wrong
thy
words
;
thou
givest
me
to
understand
the
greatest
ignorance
from
those
things
that
lately
I
have
heard
,
no
not
the
like
in
England
;
and
it
is
very
true
,
as
I
said
thy
folly
appears
by
thy
much
medling
.
Then
thou
askst
me
,
What
I
will
have
the
Light
called
,
wherewith
every
man
in
the
World
is
lightned
,
and
because
I
do
not
call
it
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
thou
(
as
it
were
)
murmurs
;
because
I
have
cut
of
thy
occasion
,
and
thou
canst
not
bend
thy
tongue
with
any
seeming
advantage
against
the
Truth
;
but
in
that
I
say
the
Light
of
Christ
convinceth
of
sin
,
which
is
true
,
thou
on
a
sudden
produces
thy
bad
consequences
,
and
askes
,
if
I
call
nature
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
such
like
.
&c.
But
they
all
do
not
prove
the
contrary
,
so
that
which
convinceth
of
sin
,
is
worth
minding
and
taking
notice
of
,
by
all
that
ever
are
saved
;
and
as
to
that
where
I
say
,
that
which
may
be
known
of
God
was
manifest
in
them
,
even
in
them
that
were
given
up
to
work
unrighteousness
,
&c.
I
said
the
truth
,
which
thou
are
not
able
to
contradict
in
equity
,
though
thou
very
ignorantly
bendst
thy
answer
(
as
if
I
had
said
)
the
Knowledge
of
God
was
made
manifest
in
them
,
when
I
say
plainly
in
my
Book
;
that
they
〈◊〉
turned
from
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
yet
that
which
might
be
k●…
of
him
was
manifest
in
them
;
and
this
thou
canst
not
deny
:
And
though
〈◊〉
words
,
as
layed
down
,
are
not
in
the
Scripture
words
,
in
terms
,
yet
I
have
〈◊〉
said
falsly
herein
,
and
do
not
thou
be
a
reprover
of
that
which
thou
cannnot
〈◊〉
self
deny
;
then
thou
sayst
,
How
feeble
an
argument
is
this
to
prove
,
that
every
one
〈◊〉
Spirit
,
&c.
Reply
,
Thou
blind
man
,
did
I
go
about
to
prove
any
such
thing
or
〈◊〉
any
Argument
thereupon
;
we
are
about
the
Light
which
Christ
hath
gi●…
or
lighted
every
man
in
the
World
withal
,
which
Light
convinceth
of
〈◊〉
and
is
not
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
unto
this
was
I
speaking
,
〈◊〉
this
I
stand
by
,
and
thou
conceives
another
thing
from
my
words
,
and
〈◊〉
against
thy
own
consequences
,
like
a
man
too
irrational
to
understand

English
,
&c.
Then
thou
sayst
,
Thou
passed
by
other
lame
Arguments

of

O
be
ashamed
for
ever

thus
to
evade
and
shuffle
,
with
such
scornful
〈◊〉
I
said
,
that
which
reproves
of
sin
is
the
gift
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
Iohn
1●
.
〈◊〉
that
which
makes
manifest
sin
,
is
Light
,
and
whatsoever
is
reproved
is
made

fest
by
the

Ephes.

how
darest
thou
call
these

what
impudence
is
in
thy

,
so
to
say
?
when
thou
art
put

,
then
such
excuses
thou
bringst
;
Well
,
some
may
see
thy
folly
:
〈◊〉
to
my
Question
which
was
,
whether
that
Light
which
every

is
li●…
withal
,
is
sufficient
in
it self
for
Life
and
Salvation
to
every

believes

if
thou
say

not
;
wherein
is
the
blame
,
in
God
,
in
his
Li●…
〈◊〉
in
the
Creature
;
thou
sayst
,
No
it
is

;
I
take
it

for

leaves
it

of

made

thou

yet
I

Query
;
is
not
every

that
perisheth
of

〈◊〉
not

even

and
if

may

this

let

Thou

And

My

onely
I
ask

for

that
the

till
then

minde
my

A●…
ever
thou
knowst
God

it
must
be
by
following

and
by
being
led

which
God

else
that

thou

but
our

Spirit

thou

pa●…
with
thy
lying
excuse

a

thou
art

to
〈◊〉
and
in
that
I
said
,
thou
wast
a
Lyar
,
in
saying
,
the
Light
(

of
Chr●…
God
,
doth
not

the

a

Deliv●…
;
my
charge
〈◊〉
is
true

and
stands
unremoved
;
and
I
asked
thee
,
if
the
Light
of
Ch●…
not
shew
Christ
,
to
〈◊〉

in
the
Light
,
then
what
c●●

thi●…
hast
passed
also
most

,
which
stands
upon
thee
to
answer
,
or
〈◊〉
thy
mouth
,
then
thou
wouldst
excuse
thy
contradictions
charged
upon
〈◊〉
that
thou
saydst
they
are
wickedly
del●●ed
,
who
own
Christ
no
otherwise
〈◊〉
as
he
was
before
the
World
;
and
yet
saying
God
onely
is
the
Saviour
,
and
〈◊〉
is
none
besides
him
;
and
all
thou
sayst
clears
not
thy self
,
from
contradiction
herein
let
honest
men
be
judge
betwixt
us
both
,
for
thou
judgest
falsely
me
to
be
●aught
,
and
I
am
sure
thou
art
naught
;
and
thou
wilt
not
take
my
judgement
.
I
may
not
take
thine
,
(
let
impartiallity
judge
betwixt
us
)
then
thou
wouldst
excuse
thy
slanders
charged
justly
upon
thee
,
in
saying
,
that
Quakers
make
light
of
the
Resurrection
;
and
to
prove
thy
wickedness
,
thou
askest
us
,
whether
so
it
be
?
〈◊〉
●…e
enough
for
us
to
answer
;
when
thou
hast
brought
evidence
of
the
first
a●…sation
;
what
poor
proof
is
this
for
to
cover
thy self
,
though
to
add
to
thy
wickedness
.
Thou
sayst
,
thou
knowst
we
deny
it
;
I
ask
thee
,
when
it
was
?
or
where
it
was
?
O
thou
Enemy
of
Righteousness
,
yea
,
thou
shalt
arise
in
the
day
of
Judgement
to
shame
and
contempt
,
and
this
I
affirm
,
except
thou
repent
of
this
thy
wickedness
.
Then
whereas
thou
urgest
me
,
that
I
should
have
answered
,
the
Query
raised
from

better
,
or
confuted
thine
,
&c.
Do
not
boast
,
but
hear
what
I
say
,
thou
sayst
in
that
answer
,
that
Christ
ascended
to
the
right
hand
of
the
Father
in
your
Nature
.
Mark
now
,
thy
Nature
,
and
your
Nature
,
who
are
one
with
thee
,
is
sinfull
and
wicked
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
for
so
all
Lyars
are
;
and
it
is
Blasphemy
to
say
sinfull
wicked
divillish
Nature
,
such
as
Iohn
Bunions
is
,
and
his
Fellows
,
is
at
the
right
hand
of
God
in
Heaven
;
O
horrible
!
consider
of
this
,
and
see
what
thy
begging
an
answer
hath
brought
upon
thee
;
I
deny
,
though
thou
affirm
it
,
that
thy
,
and
your
Nature
,
which
is
wicked
,
or
a
man
in
that
Nature
is
ascended
into
Heaven
;
and
therefore
boast
not
thy self
another
time
.
This
nakedness
of
thine
might
have
been
covered
,
but
for
thy
own
boasting
;
and
thou
sayst
,
Acts
1.
proves
it
;
let
the
Reader
search
,
If
he
can
find
that
Christ
ascended
in
sinful
wicked
Nature
,
such
as
theirs
is
,
who
are
one
with
Iohn
Bunion
;
and
this
is
another
Lye
of
the
Scripture
;
and
though
thou
with
much
impudent
confidence
affirm
the
Quakers
to
be
Deluders
&c.
I
say
from
that
we
rather
love
dispraise
,
then
praise
,
and
are
,
as
our
fore-Fathers
were
,
counted
Deceivers
,
and
yet
are
true
;
and
thou
art
deceived
in
thy
own
heart
,
in
that
thou
understandst
my
words
,
that
I
should
say
,
as
though
there
were
no
false
Prophets
now
,
because
I
said
they
were
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
which
is
true
,
and
yet
are
they
now
too
;
even
it
s
witnessed
by
thee
,
and
thy
Fellows
,
who
are
in
their
steps
,
who
through
coveteousness
making
merchandize
of
Souls
,
and
your
people
are
ever
learning
,
and
not
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
and
goes
for
gifts
and
rewards
,
and
are
false
Accusers
,
and
such
like
.
Nay
,
but
understand
me
better
,
for
I
say
thou
art
a
false
Prophet
,
and
thou
art
now
,
though
thy
root
sprang
forth
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles
of
which
thou
are
a
Beanch
,
and
thy
Fellows
;
And
though
I
said
that
Antichrist
was
in
the
dayes
of
Iohn
,
and
this
was
before
a
Quakers
was
heard
of
;
my
words
I
own
,
p●…rs
that
,
that
the
Christians
were
called
Quakers
at
that
day
,
if
thou
canst
,
〈◊〉
.
I
allow
not
thee
to
be
my
Interperter
,
except
I
found
thee
more
honest
,
〈◊〉
doth
condemn
thy
meaning
upon
my
words
;
and
though
thou
sayst
,
instead
of
moving
our selves
no
false
Prophets
,
we
prove
our selves
no
Christians
,
because
I
said
(
that
word
)
Quaker
was
not
heard
of
in
those
dayes
.
Now
consider
,
are
they
no
Christians
now
,
whose
title
or
name
without
,
was
not
gives
or
heard
of
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
then
Protestants
are
no
Christians
,
nor
Independants
are
no
Christians
,
nor
Anabaptists
are
no
Christians
,
because
they
were
not
called
so
in
the
Apostles
dayes
;
and
whilest
thou
hast
thought
to
prove
us
no
Christians
,
hast
cast
out
thy self
also
;
then
thou
art
no
better
then
we
,
and
what
poor
Arguments
and
vain
consequence
these
are
,
〈◊〉
the
wise
consider
;
I
did
not
say
,
there
were
no
Quakers
then
,
but
not
a
Quakers
heard
of
(
viz.
)
by
that
name
;
for
there
were
thousands
of
Quakers
,
who
trembled
and
quaked
at
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
Moses
,
and
David
,
Iere●…
,
Isaack
Paul
with
many
more
Quakers
,
and
Tremblers
,
though
not
then
〈◊〉
called
;
but
as
I
said
,
such
as
thou
hast
,
such
thou
bringst
,
and
thy
Master
will
accept
thee
.
Then
thou
sayst
I
fling
durt
in
thy
face
,
because
I
said
,
if
we
should
diligently
search
thee
,
we
should
find
thee
in
their
steps
,
through
feigned
words
,
through
coveteousness
,
making
merchandize
of
Souls
,
loving
the
wages
of
unrighteousness
.
And
further
I
said
,
among
them
thou
art
found
,
who
art
preaching
〈◊〉
hire
,
and
loves
the
error
of
Balaam
,
who
went
after
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
o●
.
Now
thou
seemest
to
be
grieved
,
and
calls
this
a
false
Accusation
,
But
le
ts
try
the
cause
admits
dispute
,
Art
not
thou
in
their
steps
,
and
among
them
that
do
〈◊〉
things
?
ask
Iohn
Burion
,
with
whom
thou
art
joyned
close
,
to
vindicate
〈◊〉
,
and
call
him
Brother
;
hath
he
not
so
much
yearly
,
150.
l.
or
more
(
except
t●…
hast
some
of
it
.
)
which
is
unrighteous
Wages
,
and
Hire
,
and
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
.
What
sayst
thou
,
Art
thou
not
in
his
steps
,
and
among
,
and
with
him
and
then
that
do
these
things
?
if
he
be
thy
Brother
,
and
thou
so
own
him
,
what
is
〈◊〉
in
him
whom
thou
vindicates
,
I
lay
upon
thee
;
but
tell
me
,
who
have
〈◊〉
thee
deny
him
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Independants
,
in
these
things
,
which
〈◊〉
knowst
he
doth
act
?
and
in
thy
answer
I
cannot
find
thee
fully
clearing
thy
〈◊〉
by
denyal
,
but
sayst
,
That
spirit
that
lead
me
out
of
this
Way
is
a
lying
spirit
;
〈◊〉
or
what
Way
;
I
say
,
out
of
the
way
of
preaching
for
Hire
dost
thou
mean
?
●y
it
s
a
lying
spirit
in
thee
,
that
goes
in
their
steps
,
and
among
them
that
goes
in
〈◊〉
way
;
and
though
thou
bid
me
,
have
a
care
of
receiving
by
hear
say
,
what
I
b●…
(
said
)
and
received
in
this
,
is
truth
,
though
thou
evade
it
never
so
much
.
As
to
that
,
of
some
bidding
thee
throw
away
the
Scriptures
,
&c
,
Indeed
upon
such
terms
,
it
might
be
spoken
so
as
to
be
owned
;
a
Lyar
and
a
Slandere●
is
an
unfit
Fellow
to
meddle
with
the
Scriptures
,
or
to
take
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
or
of
the
man
Christ
Jesus
,
in
his
mouth
;
and
I
may
say
truly
,
what
hast
〈◊〉
(
unrighteous
person
)
to
do
,
to
take
his
Name
,
and
truth
in
thy
mouth
,
hate●…
to
be
reformed
?
And
in
that
I
say
of
thy
crying
against
Christ
within
,
this
is
true
;
who
said
,
there
was
nothing
in
thee
,
nor
any
man
(
without
exception
)
to
be
taken
not
in
of
,
as
we
may
prove
by
witness
,
though
thou
deny
it
;
then
,
was
not
Chr●…
within
?
and
what
less
is
this
,
then
to
cry
against
him
,
when
as
thou
deayd
him
within
,
or
else
concludes
he
is
not
worth
taking
notice
of
.
And
tho●…
thou
say
I
falsely
speak
of
thee
in
saying
,
thou
callst
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
wa●
in
,
false
opinions
,
and
take
in
hand
to
discover
it
;
but
the
falseness
is
in
the
who
hath
uttered
that
which
is
untruth
,
and
contrary
to
the
Gospel
,
and
〈◊〉
denyes
it
,
or
would
hide
thy
wickedness
;
for
thou
having
framed
an
objecti●…
and
speaks
of
some
that
are
for
a
Christ
within
,
&c.
and
then
thou
sayst
,
the
wilt
discover
the
falsity
of
such
opinions
,
Now
thou
dost
here
reckon
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
within
a
false
opinion
,
(
or
among
them
at
lest
)
let
the
Rea●…
judge
,
and
be
thou
silent
for
shame
;
but
all
thou
sayst
clears
thee
not
,
fro●
what
I
said
of
thee
,
God
shall
judge
thee
,
thou
lying
tongue
,
and
dece●…
heart
.
Then
thou
chargest
me
with
folly
,
and
to
eat
my
first
words
,
and
to
be
〈◊〉ble
in
judgement
,
and
to
fight
against
the
Truth
,
&c.
From
my
question
a●…e
doth
not
the
Scripture
say
,
Christ
is
within
,
except
you
be
Reprobates
?
a●…
not
this
thus
much
,
all
are
Reprobates
,
but
they
in
whom
Christ
is
within
;
a
yet
because
I
said
the
measure
or
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
,
is
given
,
to
eve●…
man
,
this
thou
hast
catched
at
,
and
wouldst
prove
it
unsound
;
but
truth
is
o●…
thee
,
and
both
these
are
true
;
and
further
,
I
say
that
Christ
is
given
unto
〈◊〉
World
,
yea
to
all
,
but
all
receives
him
not
,
and
they
that
do
not
receive
him
〈◊〉
Reprobates
,
though
he
be
given
,
but
not
received
;
and
the
folly
and
fig●…
against
truth
is
in
thy self
,
who
says
it
is
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
to
say
〈◊〉
Spirit
is
given
to
every
one
,
thou
here
lyest
of
the
Scripture
as
it
s
proved
,
〈◊〉
I
do
not
befool
my self
in
saying
the
words
(
or
some
of
them
)
I
own
in
〈◊〉
Book
,
though
I
have
written
against
the
Book
;
for
though
thou
speak
Ch●…
words
and
the
Apostles
words
,
yet
thy
voice
is
the
strangers
,
and
thy
〈◊〉
I
deny
,
what
ever
words
thou
speakst
,
and
is
not
bafooling
my self
,
and
〈◊〉
I
could
justly
end
my
discourse
,
and
what
is
said
is
sufficient
,
to
manifest
thee
and
me
to
the
honest
Reader
.
And
thus
far
thy
weapons
of
Slanders
are
broken
,
and
thy
refuge
of
Lyes
are
layd
waste
,
and
this
also
is
cast
by
,
as
our
spoyled
prey
of
Babyl●●s
treasure
,
and
trampled
upon
,
and
know
that
we
are
of
God
,
and
be
that
is
of
God
heareth
us
;
and
to
our
God
,
shall
all
bow
;
and
before
him
tremble
.
And
whereas
thou
seemest
to
be
greatly
offended
,
and
stumbling
very
much
at
my
answers
to
thy
Queries
,
because
thy
carnall
conceptions
is
not
satisfied
,
nor
thy
vain
minde
gratified
,
having
as
thou
thinkst
great
occasion
against
me
thereby
,
which
causes
thy
mouth
to
be
opened
in
vapouring
words
aloft
,
against
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
,
not
understanding
my
words
;
for
the
things
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
a
parable
to
thee
,
and
sealed
from
thee
,
never
to
be
known
in
the
reason
in
which
thou
judgest
.
But
in
short
thus
I
Reply
,
I
did
not
purpose
to
answer
fully
to
them
,
to
feed
any
mans
wisdom
with
my
knowledge
of
the
things
of
Gods
Kingdom
;
for
the
Queries
were
not
fully
directed
to
the
Quakers
;
so
that
quench
thy
anger
,
and
according
to
my
answer
,
go
seek
a
further
answer
(
or
else
be
thou
still
unsatisfied
)
from
them
who
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
delusion
,
for
such
a
direction
requires
,
no
full
answer
from
me
,
nor
any
of
us
,
who
are
in
the
truth
,
and
not
in
the
delusion
,
neither
did
I
purpose
,
nor
do
I
at
any
time
,
to
answer
fully
to
such
things
as
are
directed
in
a
great
part
to
others
;
I
am
not
a
servant
especially
to
them
that
are
led
with
a
spirit
of
delusion
,
to
fufil
thy
will
:
But
yet
the
short
answers
that
I
gave
,
(
which
was
not
in
the
behalf
of
delusion
)
but
for
the
truths
sake
,
I
still
own
though
thou
cannot
understand
them
,
but
products
many
bad
lying
wicked
consequences
from
them
,
and
my
purpose
was
not
to
feed
thy
foolish
wisdom
in
answering
;
nor
to
satisfie
thy
reason
to
receive
praise
from
thee
,
or
any
man
;
for
so
I
know
it
must
be
in
hearing
and
seeing
,
thou
must
not
perceive
nor
understand
,
who
art
of
the
Generation
hardened
,
and
in
parable
is
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
unto
thee
,
and
I
rejoyce
the
rather
in
being
a
stumbling
to
thee
,
in
that
state
wherein
thou
standed
,
then
that
I
should
have
gratified
thee
;
for
I
seek
not
,
nor
receives
honour
from
man
,
in
what
I
do
;
but
is
covered
from
the
Worlds
knowledge
and
know
this
,
if
thou
cannot
receive
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
as
a
little
leaven
,
thou
shalt
never
know
it
;
But
yet
how
wicked
art
thou
in
this
also
,
though
not
understanding
me
,
in
what
I
said
,
yet
so
fouly
wronging
me
with
above
30.
false
charges
and
slanders
from
my
words
,
which
thou
reaches
not
the
knowledge
of
,
so
it
will
be
enough
.
Reply

to
sum
up
thy
Lyes
,
and
send
them
back
to
thee
to

them
out
,
and
an

for
them

and
the
Querys

my
Answers
shall
stand
,
as
they
are
to
be
judged
of
by
honest
men
,
while
we
are
both
silent
in
our

they
are
to
be
seen
at

in
my

The

in

And
whereas
further
I
speak
at
the
end
of
my
Answers
of
Christ
within
the
hope
of
glory
and
said
it
is
that
mystery
which
long
hath
been
hid
from
Ages
,
but
now
is
made
manifest
and
declared
,
and
though
the
wise
of
this
World
cannot
receive
it
,
but
speaks
evil
against
it
,
yet
it
is
dear
unto
us
,
and
so
much
more
precious
because
despised
by
such
as
him
,
and
such
things
are
a
testimony
to
us
,
and
against
you
,
(
viz.
)
our
Enemies
,
&c.
As
in
my
29.
Page
of
my
first
may
be
s●en
;
and
most
wickedly
this
,
or
part
of
it
,
he
calls
babling
,
and
says
he
passes
by
it
.
O
horrible
impudency
!
What
marvel
that
he
should
so
belye
me
,
when
as
he
hath
called
the
very
Scripture
truth
,
spoken
forth
in
righteousness
,
bablings
?
and
these
things
I
leave
the
Reader
to
Judge
of
,
and
all
his
Lyes
thrown
upon
〈◊〉
●●pudently
;
and
consider
,
what
ground
this
man
hath
from
my
answers
to
be
seen
in
my
first
Book
to
broach
out
and
belch
out
such
a
number
of
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
in
five
sides
of
paper
,
not
any
one
of
them
(
charged
against
me
falsly
)
were
spoken
by
me
,
or
ever
in
my
thoughts
to
speak
,
or
ground
given
by
any
of
my
words
for
such
productions
,
as
it
is
seen
what
lodges
in
the
heart
of
such
a
Fellow
,
even
desperate
wickedness
,
who
is
without
any
〈◊〉
or
honesty
,
who
dare
utter
such
things
against
the
upright
,
who
hates
not
his
Enemies
;
but
while
I
am
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
,
from
all
his
false
Slanders
,
I
matter
not
what
Iohn
Bunion
says
of
me
,
who
is
as
a
man
given
up
to
wickedness
who
in
less
then
a
sheet
of
paper
hath
uttered
thirty
Lyes
,
or
more
,
which
I
may
particularly
manifest
before
he
can
find
evidence
;
a
great
wickedness
?
〈◊〉
this
mans
Converts
be
good
,
while
himself
is
unconverted
?
is
he
a
Minister
of
Christ
?
for
shame
let
it
not
be
told
so
;
well
,
I
beg
not
vengeance
against
him
,
he
leaves
my
answers
to
be
read
,
who
will
clear
me
from
his
lying
consequences
,
〈◊〉
wickedly
conceived
,
and
as
wickedly
uttered
(
By
one
of
Gogs
Army
)
against
a
Member
of
Jesus
.
Now
I
come
to
reckon
up
his
damnable
Doctrines
,
and
errors
,
which
are
contrary
to
the
truth
;
as
will
manifestly
appear
to
him
that
is
spiritual
;
some
of
th●●
damnable
without

.
Iohn
Bunion
said
,
That
Christs
second
coming
,
is
not
his
coming
in
Spirit
,
for
〈◊〉
coming
in
Spirit
,
is
no
coming

He
saith

this
(

is
a

made
of

To
this
is
two
witnesses

by
me
;
when
as
several
Witnesses
,
doth
testifie
in
righteousness
,
that
those
very
words
were
spoken
by
him
,
in
Pauls
steeple-house
in
Bedford
Town
,
M●

1656.
as
is
witnessed
;
and
yet
this
man
is
so
impudent
,
that
he
de●●●
what
he
spake
,
(
or
is
ashamed
of
his
words
)
and
so
would
cast
the
Lye
up●●
me
,
who
is
clear
,
and
the
wickedness
lies
at
his
door
;
and
whereas
he
would
prove
that
the
second
coming
of
Christ
,
is
not
his
coming
in
Spirit
,
I
say
I
will
not
beg
him
to
believe
it
,
but
as
he
believes
,
so
be
it
unto
him
;
and
all
that
he
saith
doth
not
prove
,
but
that
Christ
promised
,
and
fullfilled
to
his
Disciples
,
that
he
would
come
again
to
them
,
(
mark
)
again
is
a
second
time
;
If
any
man
Iohn

hath
an
ear
let
him
hear
.
And
then
he
saith
,
he
will
not
trouble
himself
to
lay
this
to
my
charge
,
in
that
it
was
said
of
him
,
Christs
coming
in
Spirit
is
no
coming
,
it
may
be
he
repents
of
what
he
hath
said
,
being
better
considered
,
since
he
hath
already
falsly
charged
me
with
it
,
as
some
in
the
County
of
Bedford
knows
very
〈◊〉
,
that
he
hath
falsly
charged
me
,
and
denyed
his
own
words
,
spoken
by
his
own
mouth
.
Also
he
said
,
Take
notice
,
that
I
affirm
,
that
there
is
nothing
in
me
,
nor
is
any
man
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
These
are
his
own
words
spoken
by
him
April
12
,
1656.
at
Patnam
,
witnessed
by
three
men
,
who
heard
it
from
his
mouth
,
and
this
charge
he
doth
not
fully
deny
,
but
in
a
great
measure
he
assents
to
it
,
yet
would
cover
his
shame
a
little
with
a
Lye
,
in
saying
,
Directly
in
this
f●●●
of
words
he
did
not
lay
them
down
;
but
this
will
not
serve
to
hide
his
Reprobate
state
,
for
to
his
face
it
may
be
testified
he
spoke
the
words
,
as
I
have
laid
them
down
;
and
therefore
consider
against
whom
I
am
yoaked
,
against
one
that
is
a
Reprobate
,
and
without
Christ
in
him
,
one
that
hath
denyed
Christ
in
him
,
or
else
thinks
Christ
not
worth
taking
notice
of
.
O
abominable
ignorance
,
why
should
such
a
fellow
take
the
things
of
God
in
his
mouth
,
who
hath
denyed
Christ
in
him
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Christ
?
indeed
it
appears
that
he
doth
take
notice
of
nothing
in
him
,
else
he
would
have
been
wounded
with
the
Light
in
his
own
Conscience
,
before
he
had
brought
forth
thus
many
Lyes
;
it
seems
he
takes
notice
of
nothing
in
him
,
but
is
past
feeling
;
damnable
doctrine
indeed
,
without
comparison
,
that
ever
one
professing
to
be
Minister
of
Christ
,
should
be
so
stark
blind
and
wicked
;
yea
,
we
have
taken
notice
of
what
thou
hast
said
,
and
it
shall
be
recorded
for
ignorance
of
the
greatest
sort
;
but
he
would
evade
the
thing
and
give
a
sence
upon
his
words
,
and
in
such
a
s●●●●
he
owns
,
and
in
such
a
sence
he
denyes
it
,
but
what
is
this
to
the
purpose
,
except
he
confess
it
,
(
at
it
is
)
that
he
is
unregenerate
,
and
if
so
,
he
confess●●
the
Light
of
God
is
in
him
,
and
then
to
be
taken
notice
of
,
if
it
be
but
to
condemn
him
.
O
blindness
to
be
marked
!
well
,
this
mans
folly
hath
appeared
sufficiently
,
who
confesses
this
Light
in
every
man
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
,
and
yet
saith
,
he
affirms
there
is
nothing
in
him
,
nor
any
man
,
(
regenerate
or
unregenerate
)
without
exception
are
his
words
here
spoken
)
worth
the
taking
notice
of
.
The
rest
of
the
particulars
charged
upon
his
Fellows
is
passed
by
with
the
excuse
of
wanting
the
names
expressed
,
may
be
he
is
glad
to
be
ignorant
in
this
thing
,
but
let●
search
;
Iohn
Burton
said
,
That
Christ
had
two
bodies
,
one
out
of
the
fight
of
the
Saints
;
in
Bedford
,
May
23.
1656.
And
to
this
Iob.
Bunion
confesses
,
but
would
excuse
it
if
he
could
,
and
would
manifest
that
Christ
hath
two
bodies
,
clean
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
which
affirms
,
Ephes.

Now
no
marvel
that
he
gain-sayes
me
,
when
as
he
hath
gain-said
the
Apostle
,
who
said
expresly
,
There
is
one
body
,
but
they
say
two
bodies
;
let
them
be
ashamed
for
ever
,
thus
to
contradict
Scripture
.
Iohn
Spencly
(
one
of
the
Testators
of
this
lying
Scrole
,
a
Member
of
the
same
supposed
Church
)
said
,
that
Christ
,
and
the
Word
of
Life
were
two
things
,
and
so
would
divide
Christ
contrary
to
Ioh.

,
contrary
to

They
affirmed
,
That
Iustification
is
without
obedience
,
yet
say
I
,
None

Justified
in
disobedience
,
but
all
condemned
in
it
,
let
them
mark
that
;
and
there
is
but
either
in
obedience
,
or
in
disobedience
,
and
he
that
is
a
Believer
and
justified
,
is
not
without
obedience
.

That
There
is
a
light
which
convinceth
of
sin
,
besides
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
Iohn
Bunion
in
all
his
Book
cannot
prove
any
is
convinced
of
sin
,
that
hath
not
the
Light
of
Christ
,
or
that
any
thing
besides
the
Light
of

doth
convince
of
sin
;
so
that
his
confusion
doth
appear

Ioh.
Burton
said
,
That
a

be
upon

Now
the
Scripture
saith
,
Matth.

He
that
denys
Christ
,
shall
be
denyed
of
the
Father
,
and
the
Father
denys
not
any
that
are
on
the
foundation
,
as
they
affirm
.
Another
of
them
said
,
That
the
Word
that
was
hid
in
Davids
heart
was
the
outward
Scriptures
.
Another
of
them
affirmed
,
That
he
was
justified
from
all
his
sins
,
past
,
present
and
to
〈◊〉
;
and
said
,
there
was
Scripture
in
the
Acts
to
prove
it
.
Iohn
Burton
said
,
That
a
man
is
not
justified
by
the
Spirit
;
Iohn
Bunion
said
the
30.
of
the
11.
month
,
That
the
Spirit
of
Christ
doth
nothing
(
Mark
)
within
〈◊〉
,
as
to
justification
;
he
affirmed
,
That
the
Flesh
of
Christ
is
not
within
any
man
;
then
there
is
no
man
that
hath
life
in
him
,
if
Christs
words
be
true
,
Ioh.
6.
53.
and
Christs
words
is
true
,
and
therefore
Iohn
Bunions
doctrine
is
damnable
.
He
said
,
That
by
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
within
the
Pharisees
,
Luke
17.
Christ
speaks
of
himself
there
,
as
a
personal
man
to
be
that
Kingdom
of
Heaven
;
Mark
here
what
the
substance
of
this
is
;
doth
he
mean
that
the
person
of
Christ
was
in
the
Pharisees
?
O
horrid
blindness
!
not
to
be
parrelelled
.
He
said
,
The
best
thing
in
a
natural
man
is
Impure
,
and
yet
in
this
Book
confesses
that
the
Light
of
God
is
in
all
men
,
so
that
must
be
impure
,
else
Ioh.
Bunions
doctrine
is
a
Lye
;
but
the
Light
of
God
is
pure
,
and
therefore
Ioh.
Bunions
doctrine
is
a
Lye
.
He
said
,
that
the
Scripture
,
In
every
place
doth
not
mean
as
it
speaks
,
and
instanced
that
in
Peter
,
not
to
mean
as
it
speaks
,
where
it
is
said
,
yea
,
a
lively
stones
are
built
up
a
spiritual
house
;
and
where
it
is
said
,
〈◊〉
Salt
in
your selves
;
He
asked
if
a
mans
belly
must
be
filled
with
salt
,
Mark
this
Expositor
,
and
his
blindness
and
ignorance
,
and
the
cause
why
〈◊〉
is
silent
,
And
forbears
to
aggravate
sin
is
,
least
hard
thoughts
should
be
entertained
against
him
;
Let
men
judge
,
whether
this
be
not
an
unfaithful
man
to
His
own
Book
holds
this
forth
.
the
Lord
,
who
rather
then
harsh
thoughts
should
be
against
him
in
the
wicked
,
he
will
be
silent
,
and
hide
and
cover
sin
in
sinners
.
O
wickedness
indeed
!
He
saith
,
that
Christ
Ascended
into
Heaven
in
our
nature
,
(
viz
)
in
his
nature
,
and
they
that
are
one
with
him
;
and
he
and
they
are
proved
to
be
in
corrupt
nature
,
as
they
will
confess
it
.
O
what
wickedness
to
hold
forth
that
Christ
is
at
the
right
hand
of
God
in
sinfull
nature
,
as
his
words
holds
forth
from
his
own
mouth
.
Iohn
Burton
said
,
That
men
may
depend
too
much
upon
something
called
Christ
,
and
〈◊〉
righteousness
of
Christ
within
.
He
saith
,
that
the
Devil
Knows
how
to
take
the
Childrens
bread
(
viz.
)
Christ
Jesus
who
only
is
the
Childrens
bread
,
and
give
him
to
dogs
.
O
s●d
error
and
damnable
.
He
said
,
That
the
Devil
deceives
souls
by
bidding
them
follow
the
Light
which
they
brought
into
the
World
with
them
.
And
he
confesses
that
Light
is
the
Light
of
Christ
(
as
God
)
O
unutterible
ignorance
!
can
a
sober
man
read
this
,
and
not
be
ashamed
,
to
hold
forth
,
that
the
Devil
deceives
souls
by
bidding
them
follow
the
Light
of
Christ
(
as
God
)
?
He
saith
,
they
that
follow
Christ
aright
,
must
follow
him
without
,
to
the
cross
,
wi●…
for
Iustification
,
or
monut
Calvery
without
;
they
must
seek
for
Iustification
without
,
〈◊〉
the
Spirit
of
Christ
it
leads
to
Christ
without
.
Reader
,
see
if
this
be
not
near
unto
Popery
,
or
enquire
else
what
he
means
,
as
if
he
would
have
people
to
go
a
Pilgrimage
,
and
this
is

He
said
,
That
the
soul
of
man
is
the
Light
wherewith
every
man
is
lighted
by
Christ
as
God
,
and
this
is
the
Light
that
every

brought
into

him
,
and
the
Devil
deceives
souls
by
this
Light
(

)
by
the
soul
,
this
is
true
from
his
own
words

let
it
be
marked
by
sober
men
,
what
damnable
doctrines
these
are
,
hardly
fit
to
be
raked
in
.
He
saith
further
,
That
the
Devil
deceives
souls
by
perswading
them
to
follow
the
Light
within
,
which
he
confesses
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
that
all
man
hath
it
.
He
saith
Conscience
is
the
Light
of
God
,
and
yet
in
another
place
saith
,
Conscie●…
defiled
,
what
concurrence
is
here
,
let
the
Reader
judge
,
to
hold
forth
that
the
Light
of
God
is
defiled
,
his
words
plainly
shews
,
to
say
,
that
the
Law
is
the
Schoolmaster
to
bring
to
Christ
.
He
saith
,
This
is
a
frothy
Argument
.
And
to
make
up
his
wickedness
he
said
,
He
is
ruled
by
Scripture
;
con●…
whether
those
doctrines
and
lyes
be
not
quite
contrary
to
Scripture
;
what
is
pudency
is
in
this
mans
heart
,
to
say
he
is
ruled
by
Scripture
;
he
saith
,
Thy
that
look
upon
[
](A30510-e43100-b)*
*
Compare
this
dostrine
with
Heb.

and
his
doctrine
is
proved
to
be
damnable
.
Christ
no
otherwayes
then
as
he
was
before
the
World
was
,
be
dare
〈◊〉
bold
to
say
they
,
are
no
Christians
,
but
Antichristians
,
he
said
.
That
[

*
Contrary
to
John
1.

Christ
as
he
is
●…diator
,
so
he
both
not
lighten
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
,
though
as
he
is
God
,
〈◊〉
doth
,
Mark
here
,
he
would
divide
Christ
,
not
to
be
the
same
,
the
Son
,
as
he
is
the
Father
;
yet
he
confesses
in
his
Book
,
What
the
Father
doth
,
the
Son
doth
also
;
see
what
contradiction
here
is
,
not
worth
the
raking
in
?
O
blindness
that
may
be
felt
in
the
grossest
darkness
he
inhabits
.
He
saith
,
That
the
Devil
hath
more
experience
of
the
knowledge
of
the
eternal
power
,
and
Godhead
,
then
unregenerate
men
;
Mark
,
the
word
more
signifies
something
.
He
saith
,
The
Light
of
Christ
,
〈◊〉
God
,
is
Conscience
,
and
Nature
it self
;
Mark
,
nature
is
sinful
,
and
wicked
,
and
all
are
children
of
Wrath
,
in
it
so
are
all
by
the
Light
of
Christ
as
God
wicked
and
children
of
wrath
if
Ioh.
Bunions
doctrine
be
true
,
let
him
make
it
good
as
he
can
:
O
wonderful
trash
,
and
muddy
stuff
,
unheard
of
before
.
He
saith
,
The
Devil
deceives
souls
,
by
bidding
them
listen
within
,
and
see
if
there
be
not
that
which
doth
convince
of
sin
,
Mark
his
doctrine
well
.
He
denyes
,
That
Pauls
bids
listen
within
,
contrary
to
that
Scripture
,
Rom.
10.
8
,
9.
He
said
,
Conscience
may
be
hardned
and
seared
,
and
is
naturally
evill
;
and
yet
saith
,
Conscience
is
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
;
see
what
an
agreement
is
here
,
the
Light
of
Christ
,
as
God
,
is
hardened
,
and
seared
,
and
evil
,
else
Iohn
Bunion
must
revoke
his
doctrine
,
or
else
prove
this
;
Consider
what
stuff
this
is
,
which
is
held
forth
by
him
.
He
saith
,
he
preaches
not
for
hire
;
indeed
,
he
had
no
need
to
receive
money
for
such
doctrines
as
these
.
He
saith
,
Christ
is
some
four
or
five
foot
long
,
This
is
more
then
he
can
,
tell
.
He
reckons
the
doctrine
of
Christ
within
a
false
,
(
or
among
false
opinions
.
He
saith
,
measure●or
●or
manifestation
)
of
the
Spirit
is
given
to
every
man
,
though
Paul
saith
so
plainly
to
the
Corinthians
,
1
Cor.
12.
7.
Mark
,
here
he
hath
spoken
quite
contrary
to
Scripture
,
denyed
that
which
Paul
affirmed
,
or
else
counted
Pauls
words
no
Scripture
.
He
saith
,
They
that
are
born
of
God
do
daily
sin
,
absolute
contrary
to
1
Ioh.
3.
9.
And
therefore
he
would
give
the
Apostle
the
lye
.
Now
Reader
consider
,
whether
thou
wilt
believe
Iohn
Bunion
,
or
the
Apostle
Iohn
,
for
they
are
at
odds
,
and
speaks
quite
contrary
one
to
the
other
.
He
saith
,
That
the
Light
that
shews
thee
there
is
a
God
,
and
that
this
God
is
eternal
,
would
lead
to
life
,
then
might
Devils
be
delivered
from
damnation
,
and
the
Devils
knows
God
as
a
Creator
,
&c.
He
saith
,
That
the
Light
spoken
of
John
3.
is
the
man
Christ
Iesus
,
and
yet
saith
,
that
the
man
Christ
Iesus
is
not
a
condemning
Light
.
Mark
,
that
Scripture
saith
,
that
Light
was
condemnation
to
them
that
did
evil
;
he
saith
,
not
;
who
must
you
believe
?
He
saith
,
That
the
Lyar
and
Slanderer
is
an
Unbeliver
,
and
his
condition
is
sad
.
Consider
here
,
how
out
of
his
own
mouth
he
is
condemned
,
who
is
at
large
proved
a
Lyar
and
Slander
;
out
of
his
own
mouth
will
the
Lord
condemn
him
.
He
saith
,
That
a
man
cannot
give
a
more
right
description
of
a
false
Prophet
,
then
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
did
give
,
Reply
,
In
this
thou
hast
truly
said
.
Now
le
ts
consider
,
how
thou
hast
;
confessed
to
thy
own
shame
,
and
laid
open
thy
own
nakedness
,
the
Prophets
said
such
were
false
Prophets
as
Preached
for
Hire
,
and
divined
for
Mony
,
and
fed
themselves
,
and
clothed
themselves
with
the
wool
,
and
that
used
their
Tongues
,
and
said
the
Lord
saith
it
,
when
God
had
not
spoken
to
them
,
and
that
cryed
peace
to
the
wicked
;
and
Christ
said
,
such
were
Deceivers
,
who
had
the
chiefest
place
in
the
Assembly
,
and
stood
praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
and
loved
the
uppermost
rooms
at
Feasts
,
and
that
were
called
of
men
Master
,
and
such
like
;
and
the
Apostle
said
such
were
Deceivers
,
to
take
gifts
and
rewards
,
and
lucre
,
and
that
loved
unrighteous
wages
,
and
that
were
Back-biters
,
and
false
Accusers
,
and
Covetous
,
and
having
a
form
of
Godliness
,
but
denying
the
Power
,
who
ever
taught
,
and
the
people
were
not
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
with
many
other
such
like
.
Now
this
is
my
appeal
to
all
mens
Consciences
,
in
the
sight
of
God
,
whether
thou
art
not
found
under
some
of
these
Charracters
(
at
least
)
or
whether
thou
art
not
one
in
union
and
fellowship
,
with
such
who
act
,
these
things
,
yea
,
thou
are
among
them
,
and
not
crying
against
them
,
and
so
art
guilty
of
their
sin
,
though
not
as
fully
in
the
act
as
are
some
,
may
be
;
so
that
I
doubt
not
,
but
they
who
have
not
hardened
their
hearts
,
and
blinded
their
eyes
will
see
,
how
thou
hast
condemned
thy self
in
confessing
the
truth
;
and
the
time
is
coming
,
that
further
it
will
be
made
manifest
concerning
thee
,
only
at
present
thou
art
sufficiently
discovered
,
to
be
out
of
the
truth
in
the
way
of
perdition
;
and
however
,
though
thou
hast
covered
thy self
,
as
much
as
is
possible
,
from
the
stroke
of
thy
own
hand
,
and
from
the
guilt
of
thy
own
confession
;
yet
Ioh.
Burton
,
thou
hast
condemned
an
hundred
,
I
think
of
Independant
Ministers
,
(
so
called
)
thy
brethren
,
who
are
known
to
be
found
guilty
of
those
things
,
all
or
most
of
them
,
which
thou
confessest
are
marks
of
a
false
Prophet
,
and
while
thou
bidst
us
examine
our selves
,
thou
art
the
man
(
or
among
them
)
that
are
proved
truly
guilty
.
He
saith
,
He
is
not
come
to
one
of
the
dayes
of
the
thousand
years
,
of
Satans
being
chained
;
and
this
is
truly
confessed
,
and
so
he
is
in
the
Reign
and
Government
of
the
Devil
,
and
Satan
is
not
bound
,
but
at
liberty
in
him
,
(
as
it
well
appears
)
and
Christs
reign
is
not
known
;
and
so
it
must
needs
be
true
,
that
he
is
of
the
Army
of
the
Dragon
against
the
Lamb.
Some
of
the
same
Members
with
him
said
,
in
Bedford
,
That
they
scorned
that
Light
which
convinceth
of
sin
,
(
which
the
Quakers
speak
of
.
)
Further
,
most
falsly
I
am
charged
by
him
with
railing
against
the
Lord
Jesus
,
which
is
absolute
false
;
my
words
are
spoken
in
fear
and
reverence
of
the
Lord
Jesus
.
Reader
,
these
things
I
leave
to
thee
,
to
be
judged
of
,
his
false
Slander
;
and
his
Damnable
Doctrines
,
and
wicked
lying
Accusations
,
and
Contradictions
which
his
nine
sheets
of
paper
is
filled
with
,
as
if
he
had
set
himself
to
lye
,
and
slanders
,
and
speak
wickedly
against
the
truth
,
which
is
over
him
,
and
is
a
testimony
against
him
,
and
though
opposed
by
him
,
yet
not
confounded
;
but
him
it
confounds
,
and
by
it
he
shall
be
judged
and
condemned
;
and
the
time
comes
when
further
he
may
be
made
manifest
if
this
be
not
sufficient
;
out
of
the
abundance
of
his
heart
,
hath
his
wicked
Tongue
uttered
these
things
,
which
are
but
a
little
of
what
lodges
in
him
,
but
let
him
prove
these
things
first
,
and
then
utter
more
.
AND
now
Iohn
Bunion
,
thou
and
thy
false
Witnesses
,
and
all
thy
Company
,
and
brethren
in
iniquity
,
Remember
and
repent
for
the
day
of
your
visitation
is
upon
you
,
blessed
were
you
,
if
you
could
receive
it
,
before
it
be
spent
,
not
to
be
recalled
,
and
before
the
long
suffering
of
God
come
to
an
end
,
and
you
be
shut
up
in
utter
darkness
:
And
indeed
friends
the
day
hastens
wherein
every
man
shall
receive
according
to
his
deeds
;
he
that
hath
done
evil
shal
not
be
cloaked
,
and
he
that
hath
done
good
shall
not
be
uncovered
,
in
that
day
when
the
secrets
of
all
hearts
shall
be
laid
open
,
and
searched
with
the
eternal
Eye
;
the
end
of
my
work
is
to
clear
the
Truth
,
and
the
Way
thereof
,
(
God
is
witness
)
from
thy
slanderous
and
lying
and
perverting
Tongue
;
and
only
I
reprove
thee
,
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
so
leaves
thee
to
receive
thy
reward
from
the
Just
God
of
righteous
Judgement
;
who
upon
thy
head
wil●
render
vengeance
in
flames
of
Fire
,
in
his
dreadfull
day
,
which
upon
thee
comes
suddenly
,
even
when
thou
and
you
cries
peace
,
peace
,
then
shall
destruction
come
as
an
armed
man
,
from
which
thou
shalt
not
fly
to
escape
,
though
now
you
all
be
hardened
against
the
Lord
,
and
his
Way
and
Truth
,
and
hath
even
bent
thy
Tongue
for
Lyes
,
and
hath
reproached
the
Innocent
,
to
the
pi●●cing
of
thy
own
soul
,
and
one
day
shalt
thou
know
it
;
therefore
bow
and
tremble
before
the
Lord
God
,
thou
and
all
thy
Companions
;
a
Lyar
and
Slanderer
thou
art
,
a
Perverter
and
Wrester
of
the
right
Way
of
God
,
and
of
the
Scriptures
,
a
Hypocrite
and
Dissembler
,
a
holder
forth
of
damnable
Doctrines
,
an
envious
man
,
and
false
Accuser
,
condemning
another
falsly
in
what
thy self
is
fully
guilty
of
;
these
things
I
lay
to
thy
charge
justly
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
upon
thy
account
are
they
reckoned
by
him
,
and
proved
by
testimony
in
the
sight
of
man
(
and
may
be
more
fully
hereafter
,
if
any
thing
be
wanting
)
and
one
day
shalt
thou
feel
the
burthen
of
them
,
though
now
thou
be
above
shame
;
and
all
thy
Lyes
,
Slanders
,
Deceits
,
Confusions
,
Hypocrisies
,
Contradictions
,
and
damnable
Doctrines
of
Devils
,
with
impudency
held
forth
by
thee
,
shall
be
consumed
in
the
Pit
of
Vengeance
,
and
then
shall
the
Witness
in
thy
Conscience
justifie
the
Lord
(
in
condemning
thee
,
)
and
me
,
to
be
true
in
reproving
thee
;
and
this
I
say
to
thee
,
and
you
all
,
the
Living
God
you
know
not
,
nor
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
;
but
are
Enemies
to
God
,
and
*
persecuters
of
the
Lord
of
Life
,
and
shall
perish
among
the
Uncircumcised
:
Ye
false
Witnesses
,
and
wicked
Helpers
,
you
may
be
ashamed
of
your
testimony
subscribed
at
the
beginning
of
his
lying
scribble
;
will
you
yet
say
through
Grace
,
those
things
are
true
;
the
rather
stop
your
mouthes
in
the
dust
,
who
hath
offended
the
Lord
,
more
then
defended
him
,
or
your selves
;
and
be
ashamed
in
the
presence
of
God
and
man
;
much
more
may
be
said
hereafter
,
to
lay
you
further
open
,
if
you
yet
harden
your
hearts
in
your
wickedness
,
but
I
do
rather
reprove
you
,
then
strive
with
you
,
and
rather
desires
your
return
to
God
,
then
your
Condemnation
by
him
,
and
with
this
I
shall
end
;
and
by
what
is
said
in
short
is
sufficient
to
manifest
you
,
and
Iohn
Bunion
to
all
honest
people
,
what
Generation
you
are
of
,
and
that
you
are
guided
by
,
a
lying
and
unclean
spirit
,
and
that
you
are
doing
the
Devils
works
in
gain-saying
the
Way
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
by
your
multitude
of
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
damnable
Doctrines
;
and
what
ever
you
account
,
or
falsly
judge
of
me
,
yet
am
I
true
,
(
though
as
a
Deceiver
)
and
the
Lords
Servants
,
and
a
Witness
for
him
,
and
against
all
your
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
Wickedness
hatched
amongst
you
,
and
brought
forth
by
a
lying
Orator
,
whom
you
have
made
your
mouth
,
into
the
view
of
the
World
,
even
a
cursed
Birth
,
and
the
Father
of
it
,
and
the
Womb
that
conceived
it
,
and
it
shall
rot
,
and
perish
as
the
dung
,
and
not
accomplish
any
part
of
the
end
,
of
your
desire
;
for
so
loathsome
it
is
,
being
truly
searched
,
and
laid
open
,
that
it
hath
not
obtained
neither
the
praise
of
God
nor
man
,
but
is
defamed
by
men
,
and
condemned
of
God
:
Alas
,
alas
,
for
thee
Iohn
Bunion
thy
several
months
travel
in
grief
and
pain
,
is
a
fruitless
Birth
,
and
perishes
as
an
untimely
Fig
,
and
its
praise
is
blotted
out
among
men
,
and
it
s
passed
away
as
smoak
;
Truth
,
is
atop
of
thee
,
and
out-reaches
thee
,
and
thy
formed
weapons
cannot
prosper
,
and
it
shall
stand
for
ever
to
confound
thee
,
and
all
its
Enemies
:
and
though
thou
wilt
not
subject
thy
mind
to
serve
it
willingly
,
yet
a
Slave
to
it
must
thou
be
,
and
what
thou
dost
in
thy
wickedness
against
it
,
the
end
thereof
brings
forth
the
glory
of
it
,
and
thy
own
confounding
and
shame
;
and
now
be
wise
and
learned
,
and
put
off
thy
Armour
,
for
thou
mayst
understand
the
more
thou
strives

the
more
thou
art
entangled

and
the

thou
arises
in
Envy
,
the
deeper
is
thy
fall
into
Confusion
,

the

thy
Arguments

the

thy
folly
,
let
experience

correct
thee

thus
I
leave
thee
;

in

Judgement
thou

witness
the
justness
of
the
Judgements
of
the

,
when
for

Iniquities

thee
;
and
behold
as

woe

By
a
Friend
to
Truth
,
EDWARD
BURROUGH
.
Many
Strong
Reasons
CONFOUNDED
,
Which
would
hinder
any
reasonable
man
from
being
a
Quaker
;
And
Offences
taken
out
of
the
way
.
But
particularly
,
Four
and
twenty
Arguments
Overturned
and
Confuted
;
put
forth
,
and
sent
into
the
World
by
Richard
Baxter
,
a
professed
Minister
;
but
a
frequent
Contender
against
the
Wayes
of
God
.
And
this
is
an
Answer
to
a
Sheet
of
his
,
cried
up
and
down
the
Streets
in
London
,
as
some
excellent
piece
;
but
is
proved
to
be
full
of
Lyes
,
Slanders
,
and
false
Reproaches
against
an
Innocent
People
.
And
this
is
sent
forth
in
the
pursuit
thereof
,
that
people
may
not
be
deceived
with
every
lying
Monster
which
is
brought
forth
to
publick
view
;
but
first
let
all
things
be
tryed
,
and
onely
that
which
is
good
held
fast
.
HOW
long
shall
it
be
,
ere
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
come
to
an
end
,
and
the
measure
of
this
Generations
iniquity
be
fulfilled
,
who
rush
into
iniquity
as
a
Horse
into
the
battel
,
and
who
hastens
to
fill
up
the
largest
measure
of
iniquity
of
any
Generation
that
ever
went
before
?
Is
it
not
plain
and
manifest
to
all
people
that
have
but
an
eye
to
see
?
How
doth
the
wicked
run
on
greedily
,
drinking
up
iniquity
as
an
Oxe
drinks
water
?
How
doth
the
Archers
of
Babylon
shoot
at
the
Innocent
,
and
makes
the
harmless
their
prey
?
But
this
is
but
for
a
moment
,
the
end
thereof
is
nigh
;
and
because
the
Devils
time
is
but
short
,
therefore
he
is
come
down
in
rage
,
and
hath
filled
the
hearts
of
many
people
with
raving
envy
and
despite
against
the
Lord
and
his
people
,
whom
the
Lord
is
a
gathering
out
of
the
mouths
of
all
their
Enemies
;
and
the
Serpents
seed
,
it
bruiseth
the
heel
,
but
its
head
is
deadly
wounded
by
the
Seed
of
God
.
And
whereas
many
hath
set
themselves
in
oppsition
against
the
Lord
,
and
their
work
is
become
a
stink
,
and
a
proverb
to
be
laughed
at
in
Generations
to
come
,
yet
must
not
the
wicked
cease
their
wickedness
,
till
their
measure
be
perfectly
accomplished
.
And
whereas
Richard
Baxter
,
a
professed
Minister
in
Worcestershire
,
known
to
many
by
his
fruits
to
be
a
corrupt
Tree
which
brings
not
forth
good
fruit
,
who
sends
out
of
his
study
Lyes
and
false
Reports
,
and
vain
Arguments
to
blind
the
Eyes
of
People
,
that
they
may
not
see
the
Truth
,
and
hath
written
once
and
again
against
the
people
of
God
,
which
he
in
scorn
calls
Quakers
,
some
of
which
writings
have
been
sufficiently
answered
,
and
his
shame
and
folly
seen
openly
by
all
people
;
yet
he
(
as
a
man
not
weary
of
wickedness
)
hath
sent
forth
a
Paper
,
which
he
calls
,
A
Sheet
against
the
Quakers
;
wherein
what
was
wanting
of
wickedness
in
his
former
,
is
now
fully
brought
forth
out
of
his
Vessel
,
(
a
malicious
heart
)
which
cannot
contain
within
it self
its
rage
,
and
fury
,
and
madness
against
the
Innocent
;
but
need
must
his
folly
break
forth
openly
,
that
all
men
may
see
it
:
And
in
thi●
his
foolish
Paper
he
hath
twenty
four
reasons
,
which
he
saith
,
Moves
him
to
conceive
that
no
Christian
or
reasonable
man
should
be
a
Quaker
,
or
approve
of
,
or
excuse
their
way
;
now
his
Reasons
we
shall
try
.
But
first
of
all
I
say
,
It
had
been
more
honest
for
him
to
have
made
a
sufficient
Reply
to
have
defended
his
former
works
,
and
cleared
himself
of
his
former
Lyes
and
Slanders
truly
charged
against
him
,
then
to
have
past
that
slightly
,
and
begin
anew
to
revile
;
for
that
Book
which
he
often
mentions
,
and
boasts
of
,
called
,
The
Quakers
Catechism
,
was
sufficiently
answered
,
and
his
folly
laid
open
,
by
a
Friend
to
the
Truth
,
in
a
Book
called
,
An
Answer
to
the
Quakers
Catechism
,
to
which
Book
he
never
equally
replyed
to
this
day
,
which
had
been
more
honest
to
have
cleared
himself
from
what
is
truly
charged
against
him
in
that
answer
,
then
to
have
begun
afresh
to
reproach
and
speak
wickedness
;
and
this
all
people
may
consider
of
.
1.
His
first
Reason
which
he
brings
forth
against
the
Quakers
,
is
,
That
they
deny
,
and
revile
the
Churches
and
Ministers
of
Christ
;
and
yet
said
he
cannot
tell
indeed
of
any
Church
or
Ministry
which
is
to
be
preferred
before
those
that
they
do
despise
.
Answ.
To
this
I
answer
,
This
is
utterly
false
;
for
we
do
not
deny
the
Church
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
nor
do
revile
them
,
or
any
others
whatsoever
,
but
speaks
the
truth
in
nakedness
to
all
people
:
The
Church
of
Christ
we
own
,
and
are
of
it
,
which
are
gathered
out
of
the
World
through
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
and
seperated
from
the
World
,
and
all
its
works
and
wayes
,
which
are
evil
,
and
are
joyned
to
Christ
the
Head
,
in
the
Spirit
,
and
one
to
another
,
as
Members
of
Christ
;
and
these
are
born
again
,
and
are
Redeemed
out
of
the
World
,
and
are
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
of
his
Church
,
and
Members
of
his
body
;
and
this
we
own
to
be
a
Church
,
and
are
of
it
,
who
hath
no
fellowship
with
darkness
,
nor
no
part
with
the
practice
of
the
works
of
darkness
.
And
the
Ministers
of
Christ
we
own
,
who
have
received
the
Gift
of
the
Ministry
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
exerciseth
that
Gifs
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
whose
call
is
from
God
,
and
their
work
of
God
,
and
their
end
alone
his
glory
;
such
we
own
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
doth
not
revile
or
deny
(
as
he
falsly
saith
)
such
a
Church
,
and
such
Ministers
of
Christ
;
but
this
we
do
,
and
without
offence
to
God
too
,
we
do
deny
and
bear
our
witness
against
such
a
people
who
professeth
themselves
to
a
Church
,
and
yet
are
in
the
pride
,
in
the
wickedness
,
and
in
the
evil
of
this
World
,
and
not
redeemed
,
clensed
,
and
seperated
from
the
works
and
iniquities
thereof
,
such
we
do
reprove
for
their
Hypocrisie
,
even
●…ll
them
that
owns
a
title
to
a
Church
,
because
they
were
sprinkled
when
they
were
Infants
,
and
hath
not
another
ground
;
and
such
who
professeth
themselves
Ministers
of
Christ
,
who
hath
not
received
their
Ministry
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
neither
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
are
such
as
Christ
●nd
the
Apostles
declared
against
,
such
we
cannot
own
to
be
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
,
but
doth
reprove
them
,
and
deny
them
;
even
such
who
Preacheth
for
Hire
,
and
hath
Gifts
and
Rewards
for
Preaching
,
and
set-places
for
so
much
a
●ear
,
these
we
disown
,
and
yet
doth
not
offend
God
herein
:
And
this
in
honesty
〈◊〉
do
shew
to
all
people
,
what
that
professed
Church
and
professed
Ministry
is
which
we
do
deny
,
and
what
that
Church
and
Ministry
is
which
we
do
set
up
to
●e
preferred
,
which
is
a
right
Ministry
,
and
a
right
Church
:
And
thus
his
reasonless
reason
is
overturned
,
and
confounded
,
and
is
found
to
be
no
sufficient
reason
wherefore
a
man
should
not
be
a
Quaker
.
2.
His
second
reason
is
,
No
wise
man
can
be
a
Quaker
(
saith
he
)
because
their
Religion
is
an
uncertain
thing
,
and
so
is
not
the
Religion
that
must
save
us
,
&c.
I
answer
,
This
again
is
utterly
false
,
and
no
man
that
hath
Gods
wisdom
would
speak
it
;
for
our
Religion
which
we
profess
is
a
certain
thing
,
and
we
have
openly
declared
it
once
and
again
,
and
this
is
it
,
To
believe
in
Christ
,
and
to
receive
Christ
,
and
to
be
lead
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
taught
in
all
things
to
love
God
with
all
the
Heart
,
and
a
mans
neighbour
as
himself
;
and
through
the
Power
of
Christ
dwelling
in
man
,
to
do
all
good
,
and
to
be
kept
from
all
evil
:
This
in
very
short
is
our
Religion
,
and
it
is
a
very
certain
and
established
Religion
,
and
this
Religion
we
all
agree
in
:
And
this
in
short
is
the
substance
,
of
our
faith
,
Even
Christ
in
us
,
believed
on
,
and
received
by
us
,
This
is
the
Truth
,
and
his
lyes
is
judged
;
and
if
he
say
this
is
an
uncertain
Religion
,
let
him
give
it
under
his
hand
,
and
subscribe
to
it
,
and
he
shall
have
a
further
Reply
.
3.
His
third
Reason
is
,
No
man
of
Reason
should
be
a
Quaker
,
considering
that
amongst
those
scraps
of
their
Religion
which
is
made
known
,
there
is
so
much
notorious
fals●●d
and
ungodliness
,
saith
he
.
Ans.
Let
all
Christian
people
mark
this
his
Reason
,
they
are
even
lyes
heaped
one
upon
another
:
What
secret
Slanders
are
these
behind
our
Backs
,
who
never
would
clear
himself
of
what
is
truly
charged
against
him
in
answer
to
his
Catechism
?
his
words
are
turned
by
as
utter
lyes
:
for
that
which
we
profess
and
practice
for
Religion
,
which
we
have
made
known
by
word
and
writing
,
is
,
uprightness
,
godliness
,
sincerity
and
truth
,
and
neither
notorious
falshood
,
not
ungodliness
,
as
he
wickedly
saith
:
And
why
did
not
he
make
it
appear
what
this
notorious
falshood
and
ungodliness
had
been
?
that
had
been
more
honest
,
then
to
cast
his
charges
,
and
prove
nothing
.
And
whereas
he
saith
,
The
very
pers●●
of
Christ
Iesus
many
of
them
do
blaspheme
,
&c.
this
is
utterly
false
,
for
Jesus
Christ
have
we
owned
and
believed
in
onely
,
and
for
his
sake
we
do
,
and
suffer
ha●●
things
.
4.
His
fourth
Reason
is
,
saith
he
,
Because
their
false
pernicious
Doctrines
,
t●…
practical
Religion
doth
much
consist
in
most
notorious
wicked
injustice
and
uncharitableness
,
&c.
Ans.
Here
is
lye
upon
lye
uttered
,
and
wickedness
joyned
to
wickedness
,
and
drunk
up
as
an
Oxe
drinks
up
water
,
and
no
conscience
made
thereof
by
Richard
Baxter
;
it
had
been
just
to
have
mentioned
these
pernicious
Doctrines
,
their
practical
Religion
,
injustice
,
and
uncharitableness
,
and
not
to
have
slandered
in
the
dark
:
but
we
are
delivered
by
the
Lord
from
all
pernicious
Doctrines
and
notorious
wickedness
whatsoever
,
and
we
find
this
false
Reproacher
guilty
himself
and
his
people
,
of
what
he
accuseth
the
Innocent
:
And
so
his
words
are
true
unto
himself
,
and
upon
his
own
head
I
turn
them
.
5.
His
fifth
Reason
is
,
The
worst
of
all
,
saith
he
,
is
,
That
they
behave
themselves
like
malignant
Enemies
to
the
very
Church
,
and
Gospel
,
and
Servants
of
Iesus
Christ
,
&c.
Ans.
This
man
speaks
as
if
he
had
sold
himself
wholly
to
lye
:
but
my
answer
to
his
first
Reason
is
sufficient
to
answer
this
also
,
and
doth
say
,
That
the
C●…se
and
the
Church
,
and
the
Gospel
and
Servants
of
Iesus
Christ
we
do
fully
and
freely
〈◊〉
,
and
are
daily
exercised
therein
as
the
very
Servants
of
Iesus
,
and
are
Friends
thereof
i●
our
hearts
,
and
doth
not
behave
our selves
in
any
way
as
Enemies
thereunto
:
God
will
judge
every
lying
tongue
,
and
shall
condemn
our
false
Accusers
guilty
of
that
which
they
charge
the
guiltless
,
to
reprove
and
bear
witness
against
the
wil●…
,
wicked
,
and
rude
conversations
,
and
against
such
as
have
gotten
the
Saints
words
,
and
by
art
frame
an
hours
discourse
thereupon
for
so
much
a
Sermon
,
or
so
much
a
year
,
to
deny
such
to
be
a
Church
of
Christ
,
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
this
we
do
,
and
doth
not
behave
our selves
like
Enemies
to
the
Church
,
or
Gospel
,
or
Ministers
and
Servants
of
Christ
,
as
our
Adversary
wickedly
saith
.
6.
His
sixth
Reason
,
saith
he
,
That
part
of
the
Quakers
peculiar
Religion
which
consists
not
in
error
and
malignant
impudency
,
is
made
up
very
much
of
it
of
childish
and
unreasonable
foppery
,
&c.
Ans.
As
I
have
said
,
No
part
of
our
Religion
consists
in
error
and
malignant
impudency
,
and
as
for
that
which
he
calls
childish
and
unreasonable
foppery
,
we
stand
not
to
mans
judgement
,
for
it
is
a
small
thing
with
us
for
to
be
judged
of
any
man
;
for
we
do
acknowledge
that
we
are
become
fools
for
Christs
sake
,
and
herein
we
have
cause
to
glory
,
though
he
upbraid
us
with
it
;
and
it
was
such
as
he
who
called
Paul
a
Babler
,
and
that
his
Doctrine
was
madness
,
as
he
saith
ours
is
foppery
;
and
let
him
know
,
that
which
is
foolishness
with
man
,
is
wisdom
with
God
;
and
we
know
God
will
confound
the
wisest
of
men
by
that
which
they
may
judge
to
be
foolish
,
and
unreasonable
,
and
foppery
;
for
to
such
who
are
lost
our
Gospel
is
hid
,
where
the
god
of
this
World
hath
blinded
their
Eye
,
as
it
is
plain
he
hath
done
this
our
Adversaries
,
and
that
is
the
reason
wherefore
he
hath
sent
forth
such
lying
Scribbles
from
his
study
of
wicked
inventions
;
and
let
him
make
the
best
use
of
his
wisdom
he
can
,
he
can
but
serve
the
Devil
with
it
,
while
his
wisdom
is
sensual
and
divillish
:
And
let
him
leave
us
to
our
childishness
and
folly
,
and
let
the
issue
prove
whether
is
the
safer
guide
.
7.
His
seventh
Reason
is
,
saith
he
,
Their
malignancy
doth
blinde
them
to
make
that
the
principal
cause
of
their
rage
,
and
reviling
the
Ministry
,
which
is
plainly
agreeable
to
the
will
of
God
,
and
necessary
to
the
Churches
good
.
Ans.
This
is
false
also
;
we
are
not
blinded
,
but
doth
see
Richard
Baxter
and
all
such
,
to
be
out
of
the
Way
of
Truth
and
Peace
:
And
as
for
rage
,
and
reviling
against
the
Ministers
,
that
is
false
also
,
though
indeed
we
do
openly
reprove
deceivers
;
and
we
know
it
is
not
agreeable
to
the
will
of
God
,
and
necessary
to
the
Churches
good
,
though
he
saith
it
is
,
for
Ministers
of
Christ
to
take
tythes
,
or
to
have
a
set-maintenance
;
for
never
none
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
that
we
read
of
in
Scripture
,
either
took
tythes
to
maintain
them
,
or
had
a
set-maintenance
;
but
all
that
Christ
allows
to
his
Ministers
,
is
to
eat
such
things
as
were
set
before
them
.
And
in
that
he
saith
,
We
liken
them
to
covetous
Priests
among
the
Iews
,
that
is
true
;
to
whom
should
we
liken
them
but
to
them
that
practised
the
same
things
as
they
do
?
And
I
am
sure
there
never
was
Priests
in
any
Generation
that
were
more
covetous
then
these
of
England
are
,
as
in
many
particulars
might
be
shewed
;
for
as
the
false
prophets
in
Israel
did
,
so
do
these
in
many
things
;
and
what
the
Ministers
of
Christ
did
,
these
do
not
:
And
whereas
he
pleads
for
Tythes
,
never
Minister
of
Christ
did
in
the
Gospel-administration
claim
the
tenth
of
peoples
labours
,
nor
none
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
were
Maintained
by
Tythes
,
but
lived
of
the
Gospel
which
they
preached
,
which
livelyhood
was
not
great
sums
of
money
,
and
compelling
some
of
it
too
from
the
people
by
a
Law
;
but
the
Churches
ministered
to
the
Apostles
necessities
,
whom
the
Apostles
had
begotten
to
the
faith
,
and
planted
them
as
a
Vinyard
,
and
kept
them
as
a
Flock
:
But
the
manintenance
of
the
Priests
of
England
is
another
case
,
they
must
have
so
much
a
year
,
and
people
is
bound
to
pay
them
,
and
sometimes
so
much
a
Sermon
;
and
they
maintain
themselves
in
idleness
,
and
fulness
,
and
pride
,
and
spend
the
Creation
more
then
upon
their
necessities
:
but
he
saith
Concerning
Tythes
,
That
Tythes
are
the
Churches
,
and
not
the
peoples
,
and
by
the
Law
of
the
Land
too
.
What
the
Law
of
the
Land
requires
,
which
is
just
,
we
do
own
,
and
do
not
resist
it
;
but
what
the
Law
of
the
Land
commands
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
,
as
the
Law
is
which
commands
to
pay
Tythes
;
we
cannot
be
obedient
to
it
;
for
we
read
in
the
Hebrews
,
that
Law
which
commanded
to
pay
Tythes
,
and
take
Tythes
in
the
old
Covenant
,
is
put
to
an
end
,
and
Christ
the
second
Priesthood
established
,
and
the
Priesthood
being
changed
,
there
was
a
necessity
of
the
change
of
the
Law
also
which
upheld
the
priesthood
:
Then
whence
is
that
Law
of
the
Land
which
commands
●ythes
of
God
or
otherwise
?
judge
ye
,
seeing
the
Scripture
saith
,
The
Commandment
going
before
(
viz.
that
gave
Tythes
,
is
disannulled
.
8.
His
eighth
Reason
,
The
Quakers
way
is
too
cruel
and
uncharitable
to
be
the
way
of
God
;
they
damn
(
saith
he
)
the
most
humble
,
holy
,
faithful
Servants
of
God
,
to
whom
God
hath
promised
life
,
&c.
Answ.
This
is
not
the
least
of
his
Lyes
,
our
Way
is
Christ
,
and
is
neither
cruel
nor
uncharitable
,
but
pure
,
and
holy
,
and
zealous
against
all
sin
,
and
cannot
bear
and
suffer
iniquity
,
but
reproves
it
;
neither
do
we
damn
any
,
but
warns
all
to
repent
,
to
be
humble
and
lowly
,
that
they
may
have
the
promise
of
life
;
and
we
sharply
reprove
sin
,
and
Deceivers
,
and
Deceit
,
and
this
makes
the
men
of
this
Generation
mad
,
and
calls
it
cruel
and
uncharitable
,
when
as
we
do
but
warn
them
of
their
sins
,
shewing
them
if
they
live
in
sin
they
perish
,
and
if
they
repent
and
turn
to
God
,
they
shall
be
saved
;
and
God
hath
given
us
the
spirit
of
discerning
,
and
by
their
fruits
we
do
know
a
child
of
God
from
a
child
of
the
Devil
,
and
herein
do
establish
the
Gospel
,
and
not
repeal
it
,
though
he
falsly
saith
so
;
neither
do
we
condemn
any
who
fear
the
Lord
,
in
any
thing
they
do
or
speak
in
his
fear
,
but
with
such
we
have
unity
,
who
walks
in
uprightness
in
the
midst
of
a
malicious
World
,
and
perverse
Generation
,
as
this
is
.
9.
His
nineth
Reason
,
saith
he
,
After
all
their
sins
they
most
impudently
pretend
to
〈◊〉
sinless
perfection
,
&c.
Ans.
What
such
as
are
in
darkness
doth
conceive
of
us
,
and
so
utters
,
i●
matters
not
;
but
many
of
us
do
witness
that
Christ
hath
done
away
our
sins
and
in
him
we
are
compleat
through
saith
,
in
which
we
are
perfect
without
sin
,
and
it
is
not
of
our selves
;
and
that
perfection
we
exhort
all
to
press
after
,
that
they
may
be
perfect
in
Christ
Iesus
without
sin
:
And
he
saith
,
They
themselves
desire
a
sinless
perfection
,
and
confesseth
it
is
their
command
and
duty
,
and
yet
saith
it
is
an
impudent
pret●●●●e
in
us
to
profess
that
which
himself
confesseth
they
desire
,
and
is
their
comman
:
and
duty
;
and
this
is
great
confusion
,
and
comes
out
of
Babylons
store
;
And
though
he
would
falsly
suppose
that
the
Quakers
suppose
to
have
no
need
of
Christ
,
and
saith
he
,
They
dare
(
it
seems
)
say
they
will
not
〈◊〉
beholding
to
God
,
or
to
the
Blood
of
Christ
for
the
pardon
of
sin
;
but
these
are
his
foolis●●
imaginations
,
for
we
are
beholding
to
Christ
,
and
to
his
Blood
onely
,
which
hath
clensed
us
from
all
sin
,
and
by
it
our
sins
and
trespasses
are
blotted
out
,
and
forgiven
:
And
we
do
not
think
highly
of
our selves
,
though
he
impudently
chargeth
it
upon
us
,
and
hath
bent
his
tongue
for
Lyes
,
and
made
them
his
refuge
and
strong
Reasons
.
10.
His
tenth
Reason
,
That
we
do
in
many
Doctrines
so
openly
comply
with
the
Papis●
,
that
people
may
see
plainly
that
the
Iesuits
and
Fryars
are
our
Leaders
;
and
he
saith
,
this
hath
been
proved
by
many
Confessions
,
&c.
Ans.
The
Papist
we
utterly
deny
,
their
Doctrines
,
their
wayes
,
and
whatsoever
favours
of
Popery
,
and
are
not
lead
by
any
other
,
but
by
Jesus
Christ
,
a
our
lives
and
Doctrines
doth
make
appear
to
all
that
have
an
eye
to
see
;
i●
true
we
may
be
falsly
slandered
and
accused
by
Richard
Baxter
,
and
by
t●●
Priests
and
the
wicked
people
of
the
World
,
for
it
is
enough
for
us
to
be
as
o●●
Master
Christ
,
who
was
called
a
Devil
;
and
as
was
he
,
so
are
we
slandered
an●
accused
in
this
and
many
other
things
:
But
that
ever
it
was
proved
that
we
a●…
led
by
Jesuits
and
Fryars
,
this
is
one
of
our
Adversaries
slanders
he
hath
on●…
and
again
accused
us
;
but
he
never
proved
it
,
though
now
he
saith
,
the
Papi●…
make
the
Scriptures
a
dead
Letter
,
and
no
Rule
of
faith
,
and
so
do
we
:
The
Papist
cry●…
down
our
Church
and
Ministers
,
(
saith
he
)
The
Iesuits
cryes
up
free-will
and
sufficie●●
Grace
to
all
,
and
a
common
sufficient
Light
to
all
,
and
so
do
we
(
saith
he
:
)
The
Papi●●
extenuate
imputed
righteousness
in
setting
up
inherent
righteousness
:
and
the
Papist
pl●…e
most
in
external
abstenances
and
observances
,
and
so
do
we
,
saith
he
,
&c.
To
all
this
I
answer
,
what
is
truth
we
hold
and
maintain
in
the
power
of
God
,
and
may
not
deny
it
,
though
the
Papists
may
hold
the
same
in
words
,
which
seldom
they
do
;
for
we
hold
the
truth
,
for
the
truths
sake
,
and
dare
not
deny
the
truth
,
though
the
Devil
confess
it
in
words
;
but
he
hath
falsly
compared
us
with
the
Papists
and
Jesuites
;
for
we
do
not
hold
free-will
in
the
creature
,
neither
do
we
extenuate
imputed
righteousness
,
neither
do
we
place
most
in
external
●bstenances
and
observances
,
herein
Richard
Baxter
hath
belyed
us
:
But
wh●…
I
should
measure
him
by
his
own
rule
,
and
should
say
that
the
Jesuites
and
●…yars
are
his
Leaders
?
Why
,
because
the
Papists
say
Christ
was
born
of
Mary
;
and
did
many
Miracles
,
and
dyed
,
being
Crucified
of
the
Iew
,
and
was
buryed
,
and
rose
again
,
and
so
doth
Richard
Baxter
say
,
and
all
the
Pres●…t
●…ians
in
England
,
and
therefore
may
we
conjecture
,
they
do
bu●…sts
,
or
open
Infidels
,
as
he
saith
concerning
us
.
But
fur●…
sprinkling
Infants
is
baptizing
into
the
faith
of
Ch●…
be
free
from
sin
while
they
are
upon
Earth
,
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
aga●…
error
,
and
thus
doth
Richard
Baxter
and
his
●…ny
,
and
therefore
by
his
own
Arguments
he
may
be
judged
that
the
Jesuit●…s
and
●…yars
are
〈◊〉
Leaders
,
and
that
he
prepares
people
to
be
Papists
;
but
I
will
not
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
unchar●…
〈◊〉
judge
him
so
by
this
rule
,
as
he
hath
falsly
done
us
,
though
〈◊〉
do
know
in
the
Light
of
God
there
is
a
greater
concurrence
in
Doctrine
,
and
●…ctice●…sation
,
between
many
of
our
Accusers
and
the
Papists
,
then
there
is
between
Papists
and
us
,
and
the
Light
of
Christ
in
all
Consciences
shall
answer
me
in
the
day
of
Gods
righteous
Judgements
,
and
the
Papists
and
him
we
do
deny
,
and
see
them
to
be
of
one
spirit
,
though
differing
in
appearances
;
and
what
we
are
it
is
by
Grace
,
and
not
of
our selves
;
and
what
we
do
it
is
through
Christ
,
and
not
by
our selves
,
and
to
God
we
appeal
for
judgement
,
and
tramples
upon
all
mens
vain
conceiving
,
false
judgements
,
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
turns
them
back
to
them
again
where
they
were
hatched
.
11.
His
eleventh
Reason
:
He
saith
,
Our
Doctrine
are
self-contradictory
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
be
of
God
,
&c.
Ans.
To
this
I
answer
,
This
is
false
,
our
Doctrines
do
agree
in
one
,
and
are
not
self-contradictory
,
though
falsly
he
may
judge
of
this
,
as
he
may
judge
of
other
things
;
if
he
had
been
in
Christs
time
,
likely
he
would
have
judged
his
words
self-contradictory
,
who
said
,
Except
you
eat
my
Flesh
,
and
drink
my
Blood
,
you
have
no
Life
in
you
;
and
yet
at
the
same
instant
of
time
said
,
The
Flesh
profiteth
nothing
;
with
many
other
such
instances
as
might
be
brought
.
Why
,
but
Ric.
Baxter
tells
you
,
We
say
all
men
have
a
sufficient
light
within
them
,
and
goes
up
&
down
,
preaching
it
with
great
zeal
.
This
is
no
more
then
the
Apostle
Iohn
did
,
who
told
the
Saints
they
needed
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
as
the
Anointing
in
them
,
and
yet
preached
unto
them
,
and
wrote
Epistles
to
them
,
but
bid
Iohn
contradict
himself
?
let
wise
men
judge
.
And
Iohn
said
,
Christ
lighteth
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
with
the
true
Light
;
and
no
more
then
he
did
,
do
we
contradict
our
seves
herein
,
for
we
follow
the
same
example
,
and
we
say
the
Saints
have
the
Anointing
in
them
,
and
needs
no
man
to
teach
them
,
and
yet
do
we
exhort
them
as
the
Apostle
Iohn
did
.
And
he
asks
,
what
do
we
peach
,
If
darkness
,
who
would
have
such
Teachers
?
if
light
,
what
needless
labour
is
this
,
when
all
men
have
sufficient
light
already
,
&c.
To
all
this
I
answer
,
We
preach
light
that
all
should
believe
in
it
,
and
thereby
should
be
lead
out
of
darkness
,
and
the
light
is
sufficient
,
being
believed
in
by
the
Creature
,
but
all
are
not
lead
by
it
sufficiently
.
neither
doth
receive
Christ
:
And
we
may
ask
him
now
,
and
say
,
If
he
preach
darkness
(
as
it
is
likely
he
doth
,
rather
then
the
light
,
because
he
smites
at
preaching
the
light
that
hath
lighted
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
and
so
in
effect
denies
the
Lord
that
brought
him
)
then
who
would
have
such
a
Preacher
;
but
if
he
preach
the
light
,
and
not
that
Light
which
doth
enlighten
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
which
is
Christ
,
and
is
sufficient
,
(
as
it
seems
by
his
own
words
he
doth
not
,
because
he
condemns
us
for
it
)
then
is
he
a
Minister
of
Antichrist
,
according
to
his
own
confession
.
But
whatever
he
judges
,
we
are
sent
to
turn
people
from
darkness
to
light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
power
of
God
,
and
herein
we
do
as
the
Ministers
of
Christ
did
;
but
that
we
revile
the
Ministers
of
Christ
as
blind
Guides
,
as
saith
he
,
this
false
is
again
;
but
such
we
bear
witness
against
who
preacheth
for
Hire
,
and
oppresseth
the
Common-wealth
,
and
are
in
the
steps
of
the
proud
Pharisees
,
and
all
people
that
follows
them
are
in
darkness
as
the
Pharisees
were
,
and
in
the
way
of
Damnation
,
because
they
are
not
in
the
truth
who
follows
not
Christ
,
and
yet
such
people
are
lightened
with
the
light
of
Christ
,
and
that
is
their
Condemnation
,
because
they
believe
not
in
it
,
and
it
is
sufficient
to
the
Condmnation
of
all
such
.
12.
His
twelfth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
Consider
also
how
sutable
their
Doctrine
is
〈◊〉
the
interest
and
pleasure
both
of
the
Papist
and
the
Devil
,
why
,
saith
he
,
they
damn
all
the
Ministers
and
Churches
of
CHRIST
,
&c.
To
this
I
answer
,
A
lying
Tongue
is
but
for
a
moment
;
though
he
makes
Lyes
his
refuge
,
yet
they
shall
be
sweept
away
.
Of
the
Ministers
and
Churches
of
Christ
are
we
,
and
such
as
are
so
,
they
we
own
,
and
are
one
with
them
,
though
this
man
saith
otherwise
;
and
it
doth
little
appear
that
our
Doctrine
is
sutable
to
the
interest
and
pleasure
of
the
Papists
,
for
we
find
them
our
Enemies
,
and
Gods
Enemies
,
and
bears
our
witness
against
them
,
as
against
the
Devil
,
and
do
say
that
they
are
his
off-spring
,
and
that
the
Priests
of
England
are
their
off-spring
,
such
as
are
open
Lyars
especially
:
But
if
we
should
reckon
,
we
should
find
their
Doctrine
more
agreeable
to
the
Papists
in
many
things
,
then
ours
are
,
as
I
have
instanced
concerning
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
other
things
;
but
doth
it
follow
that
the
Papists
and
we
agree
,
because
the
Papists
declare
against
them
out
of
cruelty
and
wickednesse
,
and
out
of
a
murderous
mind
to
divert
people
into
Idolatry
and
wicked
superstition
;
and
we
declare
against
them
out
of
love
to
peoples
souls
,
that
they
should
not
always
be
deceived
,
and
alwayes
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledg
of
the
Truth
;
and
hath
no
other
end
to
our selves
,
God
is
our
witnesse
,
but
that
people
may
be
converted
to
the
knowledg
of
God
;
and
as
I
said
before
,
though
the
Papists
may
hold
some
truth
in
words
,
and
cry
against
some
sort
of
people
out
of
a
wicked
end
,
yet
may
not
we
therefore
deny
the
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
neither
must
be
silent
is
declaring
against
sin
and
wickednesse
;
and
let
him
say
what
he
will
concerting
any
advantage
the
Devil
reaps
by
us
,
it
will
but
be
the
overthrow
of
his
very
kingdom
:
Why
,
but
saith
he
,
If
we
do
but
unchurch
all
the
reformed
Churches
,
the
Papists
will
give
us
a
fee
:
I
say
it
is
a
hard
thing
to
unchurch
them
that
never
were
truly
churched
;
and
that
we
seek
to
unchurch
such
as
are
the
Churches
of
Christ
,
this
is
utterly
false
,
and
the
Papists
fee
,
and
his
reproach
,
we
trample
upon
them
both
together
;
and
let
him
take
the
Papists
fee
,
as
he
pleads
for
it
,
for
it
was
they
first
that
took
tythes
for
a
fee
,
and
it
is
he
now
that
strongly
pleads
for
them
,
to
be
maintained
in
his
Ministry
by
them
.
13.
His
thirteenth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
the
Doctrine
and
practice
of
the
Quakers
is
contrary
to
the
experience
and
holy
nature
of
the
Saints
;
why
,
saith
he
,
they
have
sound
a
renewed
light
and
life
by
the
Scriptures
and
Ministry
which
the
Quakers
make
so
light
of
,
&c.
To
this
I
answer
,
this
is
as
false
as
the
rest
,
for
with
all
the
Saints
that
ever
were
upon
earth
,
both
in
Doctrine
and
Practice
we
agree
with
them
;
and
as
〈◊〉
the
peoples
sakes
of
England
,
I
wish
his
words
were
true
,
and
that
they
ha●…
indeed
found
a
renewing
light
and
life
by
this
Ministry
;
but
though
he
may
boast
of
it
now
,
in
the
day
of
Gods
righteous
judgments
it
shall
be
found
otherwise
,
when
it
shall
be
tryed
,
that
the
renewing
hath
been
but
in
form
and
appearance
,
from
one
likenesse
to
another
,
and
not
a
renewing
from
death
to
life
;
and
though
there
hath
been
sometimes
appearing
,
a
zeal
and
a
desire
after
him
in
the
Ministry
of
England
in
times
past
,
yet
from
this
day
hath
the
Lord
forsaken
them
,
and
such
as
were
sober
and
sincere
in
what
was
made
manifest
,
are
now
become
Revilers
and
Reproachers
,
Slanderers
and
Persecutors
of
the
People
of
God
,
and
from
hence-forth
shall
they
not
boast
of
many
being
Converted
by
them
from
sin
unto
the
way
of
Righteousness
.
But
further
he
saith
,
We
tell
the
people
that
their
Ministry
doth
the
people
no
good
,
and
none
are
the
better
for
it
:
If
we
do
,
we
tell
them
true
:
And
though
he
saith
,
The
experiences
of
many
thousands
doth
confute
this
,
yet
say
I
,
the
experiences
of
ten
thousand
times
so
many
more
shall
confirm
it
:
It
is
true
,
there
may
be
thousands
like
himself
which
will
not
stumble
to
belye
their
own
souls
,
as
he
hath
done
of
us
;
yet
betwixt
him
and
I
in
this
matter
God
shall
be
our
Judg
,
who
hath
not
sent
this
Ministry
,
and
yet
it
hath
run
,
therefore
it
doth
not
,
nor
shall
not
profit
the
people
at
all
:
He
saith
,
It
is
quite
contrary
to
the
nature
of
Saints
to
damn
and
reproach
the
Saints
,
and
call
them
the
children
of
the
Devil
:
This
is
true
;
but
it
is
not
contrary
to
the
nature
of
the
Saints
to
reprove
Hypocrites
,
such
as
profess
that
which
they
do
not
enjoy
,
and
speak
that
which
they
have
not
received
from
the
Lord
,
but
steal
from
other
mens
words
,
such
are
many
of
the
Teachers
of
England
;
and
it
was
the
way
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
soundly
to
reprove
such
:
And
this
is
our
way
,
and
we
do
not
reproach
the
Saints
,
nor
damn
them
,
and
yet
to
the
wicked
,
which
are
not
Saints
,
we
dare
not
cry
peace
,
but
do
say
,
The
wicked
,
and
such
who
forget
God
,
shall
be
turned
into
Hell
:
And
for
this
,
David
is
our
example
.
14.
His
fourteenth
Reason
:
He
saith
,
The
Quakers
are
unlikely
to
be
better
then
other
men
seeing
they
are
so
notoriously
proud
;
and
thus
this
pride
doth
appear
:
Saith
he
,
It
is
the
supposed
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
extraordinary
holiness
,
and
inspiration
,
and
abilities
,
that
they
are
proud
of
,
and
saith
he
,
They
proclaim
themselves
perfect
without
sin
.
And
this
is
the
pride
he
chargeth
us
with
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
,
We
say
that
in
Christ
we
are
compleat
,
as
the
Apostles
said
to
the
Churches
,
and
do
not
boast
of
it
,
neither
are
proud
of
it
more
then
the
Churches
were
,
but
in
the
Lord
we
will
glory
,
and
in
him
rejoyce
again
and
again
;
and
it
is
that
which
we
press
after
,
and
exhort
all
to
press
after
,
to
be
perfect
in
him
who
takes
away
our
sins
,
and
gives
power
over
the
temptations
of
the
Devil
.
And
he
saith
,
We
pretend
to
know
mens
hearts
:
Yea
,
we
do
know
that
the
heart
of
man
is
desperately
wicked
and
deceitful
above
all
things
;
and
by
mens
words
and
works
,
we
do
know
their
hearts
to
be
evil
that
acts
and
speaks
wickedness
;
For
out
of
the
abundance
of
the
heart
the
mouth
speaketh
:
And
if
we
should
say
we
do
not
know
mens
hearts
that
acts
and
speaks
wickedness
,
we
should
be
Lyars
:
but
as
I
said
,
What
we
are
it
is
by
grace
in
Christ
,
and
we
boast
not
of
it
in
the
flesh
,
but
our
glorying
is
onely
in
the
Lord
in
Spirit
,
that
our
names
are
written
in
the
Book
of
life
.
And
as
for
our
crying
against
Deceivers
,
which
he
so
much
stumbles
at
,
it
is
but
the
practice
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
as
may
be
read
through
the
Scriptures
,
and
yet
we
do
it
not
,
no
more
then
they
did
in
self-exaltation
,
though
he
would
charge
us
with
it
.
15.
His
fifteenth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
They
plainly
discover
a
persecuting
spirit
:
Why
(
saith
he
)
what
man
can
in
reason
think
but
that
they
run
up
and
down
the
World
to
bring
Ministry
into
hatred
,
&c.
To
this
I
answer
,
Little
of
this
doth
appear
that
our
spirits
are
persecuting
spirits
,
for
we
pray
for
our
Enemies
,
and
do
forgive
them
that
do
evil
intreat
us
,
and
renders
to
no
man
evil
for
evil
;
for
if
we
had
sought
vengeance
,
or
prosecuted
the
good
Laws
of
England
against
those
that
had
wronged
and
robbed
us
,
and
unjustly
caused
us
to
be
put
in
Prison
,
many
might
have
deeply
suffered
by
true
Justice
before
this
day
,
if
we
had
not
forgiven
our
Enemies
,
and
blessed
them
that
hated
us
:
Such
hath
been
the
cruelty
acted
upon
us
,
that
many
might
have
been
arraigned
for
felony
,
if
we
had
sought
the
prosecution
of
the
good
Laws
,
and
not
forgiven
our
Enemies
.
Why
,
but
the
main
thing
is
,
because
we
are
moved
to
go
up
and
down
the
World
and
declare
against
the
false
Ministers
,
and
holding
forth
that
Ministry
,
and
truly
applying
it
to
many
of
the
Teachers
of
England
:
But
let
all
the
World
know
,
this
is
not
from
a
persecuting
spirit
,
not
more
then
Isaiah
did
it
,
and
Micah
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
who
did
zealously
give
their
testimony
against
such
as
went
for
gifts
and
rewards
,
as
the
Teachers
of
England
do
;
but
this
is
that
which
he
is
offended
at
,
and
calls
it
a
persecuting
spirit
,
which
is
not
so
,
but
in
love
to
peoples
souls
,
that
they
may
deny
the
evil
,
and
follow
the
good
:
And
that
our
Ancesters
have
persecuted
to
death
,
as
he
saith
,
This
is
also
a
lye
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
for
our
Ancestors
were
the
Saints
,
who
were
called
of
God
,
and
were
not
of
the
World
,
even
as
we
are
not
of
the
World
,
and
we
are
persecuted
,
but
seeks
not
to
persecute
any
,
and
gives
our
witness
faithfully
against
this
Generation
,
and
against
the
sins
both
of
Teachers
and
people
;
and
this
I
suppose
is
it
,
even
our
zeal
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
against
unrighteousness
,
which
he
falsly
calls
a
persecuting
spirit
.
16.
His
sixteenth
Reason
is
,
Some
Interrogatories
,
(
saith
he
)
What
reasonable
man
should
turn
Quaker
that
sees
the
common
fruit
of
their
Doctrine
?
wh●●
good
do
they
do
where-ever
they
come
,
but
(
saith
he
)
hate
both
godly
Teacher
and
people
,
&c.
Ans.
To
this
I
answer
,
The
fruit
of
our
Doctrine
is
begetting
people
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
a
converting
them
from
sin
and
death
,
and
from
the
wayes
and
works
of
unrighteousness
,
to
be
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
;
and
every
spiritual
man
doth
see
this
to
be
the
fruit
of
our
doctrine
:
It
doth
condemn
unrighteousness
,
and
bring
war
and
a
sword
upon
Earth
,
as
Christs
Doctrine
did
.
And
this
is
the
good
,
where
we
come
,
many
are
changed
from
wickedness
,
rudeness
,
and
ungodliness
,
to
live
soberly
,
righteously
,
and
purely
in
this
present
World
,
without
offence
towards
God
and
men
.
For
to
say
,
We
make
people
both
to
hate
godly
Teachers
and
people
,
this
is
utterly
false
,
for
we
endeavour
to
bring
people
to
the
true
Teacher
,
Christ
Jesus
,
and
to
have
fellowship
with
the
Saints
:
It
's
true
,
in
the
World
our
Doctrine
doth
make
division
,
and
doth
set
a
man
at
variance
,
and
doth
set
Father
against
Son
,
and
Son
against
Father
,
even
as
Christ
did
,
and
his
Doctrine
,
so
he
saith
we
do
.
But
again
he
belyes
us
,
in
saying
,
We
bring
people
into
confusion
and
abominable
error
,
or
that
we
cast
people
into
a
malicious
mood
,
or
tincture
of
bitterness
,
this
is
also
false
,
and
this
is
my
Answer
,
He
that
doth
the
will
of
our
Father
,
knows
of
our
Doctrine
,
whether
we
we●●
of
God
,
or
of
our selves
,
and
to
all
the
World
besides
we
are
unknown
,
and
desires
to
be
manifest
to
every
mans
conscience
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
and
not
to
that
wisdom
which
is
of
this
World
:
And
though
he
scorn
at
such
who
are
made
to
cast
off
their
Points
and
Lace
,
yet
is
not
this
more
then
any
fruit
that
his
Doctrine
hath
brought
forth
?
for
as
〈◊〉
do
,
so
did
the
Apostle
exhort
against
all
superflui●●
of
naughtiness
,
as
Points
and
L●…
are
;
and
it
seems
that
such
as
depart
from
iniquity
become
a
prey
to
such
wicked
men●
slandering
and
scornful
Tongues
,
and
a
matter
to
makes
Books
of
,
to
send
into
the
World
.
17.
His
seventeenth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
It
is
no
great
encouragement
to
us
to
turn
Quakers
,
when
we
consider
who
are
their
followers
,
very
few
experienced
sober
Christians
turn
to
them
,
(
saith
he
)
but
such
who
are
ignorant
,
and
ungrounded
,
and
raw
professors
,
&c.
Answ.
To
this
I
answer
,
Let
no
man
take
encourgement
from
without
,
to
turn
Quakers
,
or
to
own
the
Way
of
Gods
Salvation
,
But
let
every
one
feel
a
Measure
of
God
in
his
own
heart
,
converting
him
from
sin
unto
righteousness
,
and
drawing
his
mind
from
the
vanity
and
hypocrisie
of
this
World
,
to
the
truth
and
singleness
of
heart
:
And
he
appears
to
be
of
the
spirit
of
the
Pharisees
,
who
said
,
None
but
a
company
of
poor
people
which
were
accursed
,
followed
Christ
;
and
so
saith
he
,
in
effect
,
None
but
such
as
are
ignorant
,
and
such
like
:
But
what
if
there
were
not
any
other
,
but
such
who
owned
the
Way
of
the
Lord
?
this
is
a
confirmation
of
it
,
rather
then
a
cause
of
objecting
against
it
,
when
such
who
are
ignorant
are
brought
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
:
But
yet
his
words
are
false
,
for
it
is
known
,
that
very
many
honest
,
humble
,
sober
〈◊〉
and
people
,
who
have
all
their
dayes
been
sincere
towards
God
in
what
they
have
known
of
him
,
have
and
do
own
us
;
and
indeed
,
all
that
ever
ow●●
God
and
Salvation
,
shall
own
us
,
for
we
are
of
God
,
and
he
that
is
of
God
hea●…
us
,
and
the
whole
World
Lyes
in
wickedness
:
And
such
as
are
self-conceited
and
in
pride
,
and
wise
in
their
own
eyes
,
and
in
the
wickedness
of
the
World
,
such
are
his
followers
,
and
not
ours
,
though
be
falsely
say
it
;
for
such
as
follow
Christ
have
we
fellowship
with
,
and
not
with
such
as
walk
in
darkness
.
18.
His
eighteenth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
It
is
an
evident
Iudgment
of
God
upon
these
people
that
turn
Quakers
,
and
a
punishment
for
their
former
sins
,
&c.
Ans.
To
this
I
answer
,
The
Lord
God
,
his
Angels
,
and
all
his
Saints
and
Servants
I
call
to
record
against
thee
,
and
they
all
shall
witness
that
it
is
Mercy
,
and
not
Judgement
,
upon
them
that
owns
the
way
of
the
Lord
:
And
them
that
owned
the
Quakers
in
truth
and
sincerity
,
have
and
do
witness
a
remission
of
their
former
sins
and
forgiveness
of
them
by
Jesus
Christ
,
and
not
a
punishment
for
them
:
And
Rich.
Baxter
may
please
himself
and
some
others
with
his
reasonless
Reasons
,
as
these
are
;
yet
they
are
not
worthy
of
the
name
of
Reason
,
they
be
so
senceless
and
utterly
false
.
And
though
he
rails
against
the
Anabaptists
as
well
as
against
us
,
yet
any
man
whose
eye
is
open
,
sees
his
folly
,
and
turns
it
upon
his
own
head
:
and
he
may
conceit
himself
in
these
things
for
a
moment
.
but
the
day
of
the
Lord
will
declare
it
otherwise
,
and
that
upon
us
Mercy
and
Peace
shall
be
,
and
not
Judgement
nor
Wrath.
19.
His
ninteenth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
They
are
already
in
division
among
themselves
,
as
the
contention
between
,
Nayler
,
and
Fox
,
and
their
followers
do
shew
.
To
this
I
answer
,
Though
an
occasion
may
come
and
be
taken
against
the
truth
,
yet
wo
unto
him
by
whom
it
comes
,
and
to
them
who
do
receive
it
,
for
the
Testimony
of
Truth
abids
for
ever
.
But
as
about
that
division
he
speaks
of
,
it
hath
been
answered
by
writings
several
times
,
and
now
I
say
,
It
happened
but
as
a
Tryal
to
the
Lords
People
,
and
not
to
destroy
them
;
though
the
Enemy
boasts
himself
because
of
it
,
yet
the
Lord
knows
how
to
preserve
his
in
the
midst
of
Temptation
:
But
these
things
are
now
at
an
end
,
though
a
Temptation
presented
it self
yet
it
overcame
not
,
and
truth
is
the
same
,
and
the
Testimony
thereof
doth
never
change
:
and
all
these
Refuges
which
the
Wicked
flyes
unto
shall
not
cover
them
when
the
Lord
appears
.
20.
His
twentieth
Reason
:
And
saith
he
,
To
make
all
their
delusions
more
odious
wickednesse
,
they
father
it
upon
the
Holy
Ghost
.
Ans.
His
words
are
utterly
false
:
yet
we
say
we
have
received
the
Holy
Ghost
which
teacheth
us
,
and
leadeth
us
into
all
truth
,
and
by
it
are
we
lead
out
of
all
Wickedness
and
Delusion
,
and
all
wicked
speeches
,
which
he
brands
us
withall
,
and
these
things
are
his
own
,
for
he
is
seen
to
be
in
delusion
,
and
odious
wickedness
,
and
wicked
speeches
.
And
saith
he
,
They
speak
against
the
DOCTRINE
of
the
SPIRIT
,
and
cryes
down
the
love
of
the
Saints
,
and
against
the
Ordinances
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
.
To
this
I
have
answered
,
In
the
love
and
union
with
all
the
Saints
we
are
,
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
against
Hypocrisie
we
declare
,
such
who
profess
what
they
are
not
,
and
use
their
tougues
,
and
saith
the
Lord
saith
,
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
to
them
;
and
sprinkle
Infants
,
and
saith
it
is
an
Ordinance
of
Christ
;
and
singing
Davids
experiences
in
Rime
and
Meeter
,
with
many
other
things
which
the
Priests
hath
in
their
practice
;
such
things
we
deny
to
be
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
and
them
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
which
do
practice
them
;
and
this
we
do
say
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
:
But
that
we
pronounce
damnation
against
Gods
Church
and
holy
Servants
,
this
is
false
again
,
and
is
but
the
fulfilling
the
number
of
his
lyes
;
and
though
he
charge
us
secretly
with
preaching
another
Gospel
,
then
that
which
Paul
preached
,
is
false
,
and
if
we
duely
examine
,
it
will
be
he
that
will
be
found
preaching
another
Gospel
,
whose
practice
is
found
in
many
things
contrary
to
them
who
were
Ministers
of
the
true
Gospel
,
and
so
the
curse
pronounced
by
the
Apostle
will
fall
upon
him
,
and
not
upon
us
in
the
day
of
Judgement
.
21.
His
one
and
twentieth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
The
Quakers
themselves
renounce
〈◊〉
words
the
Ranters
and
Papists
,
as
a
deluded
sort
.
Answer
.
To
which
I
answer
and
say
,
Yea
,
not
only
in
words
,
but
in
lives
lives
also
we
utterly
abhor
the
Ranters
and
Papists
both
in
profession
and
practice
,
and
do
know
that
Rich.
Baxter
is
of
the
same
spirit
,
though
differing
in
words
.
But
saith
he
,
The
Ranters
and
Drunkards
cryes
out
against
the
same
Ministers
,
same
exercise
,
and
godly
people
,
as
the
Quakers
do
.
To
which
I
answer
,
What
the
Ranters
and
Drunkards
may
do
in
their
wickedness
and
unclean
spirits
,
is
one
thing
,
and
what
we
do
in
the
fear
of
God
,
and
tender
love
to
peoples
Souls
,
is
another
thing
;
but
how
uncharitable
is
this
man
in
his
judgment
?
Let
us
try
him
,
as
if
I
should
say
,
The
Ranters
,
and
Drunkards
,
and
Prophane
,
and
all
ungodly
People
,
they
are
our
Enemies
,
and
do
oppose
and
gainsay
the
Way
of
God
,
and
the
people
called
Quakers
,
and
they
Beat
them
,
and
Reproach
them
,
and
Slander
them
,
and
doth
much
cruelty
unto
them
;
and
thus
doth
Richard
Baxter
of
Kidderminster
,
he
reviles
them
,
and
reproaches
them
,
and
belyes
them
,
and
therefore
he
is
one
with
the
Ranters
,
and
Drunkards
,
and
prophane
people
,
and
he
holds
part
of
the
Papists
Ranters
,
and
Drunkards
doctrine
and
practice
:
And
thus
he
is
judged
with
his
own
Rule
,
according
as
〈◊〉
hath
judged
us
,
by
the
same
Rule
,
and
now
say
I
,
as
well
as
he
of
us
,
Let
any
man
judge
that
hath
not
forsworn
all
wit
and
reasons
whether
it
is
likely
the
Holy
Ghost
will
inspire
Richard
Baxter
and
a
company
of
Priests
of
Engl●…
,
to
acquaint
them
with
the
same
Points
,
Doctrines
,
and
Practices
,
which
the
Papists
,
Ranters
Drunkards
,
and
all
prophane
people
exercise
themselves
in
;
for
as
all
they
are
Enemies
to
the
Quakers
,
so
is
he
and
his
company
.
A●…
farther
I
ask
him
,
Whether
the
same
things
be
heavenly
in
Rich.
Ba●…
and
his
company
,
which
be
hellish
in
the
Ranters
and
Drunkards
?
And
whether
Richard
Baxter
hath
not
condemned
himself
and
the
Priests
of
England
,
in
condemning
the
Papists
,
and
Ranters
,
and
Drunkards
,
and
prophane
people
,
in
acting
the
very
same
things
,
to
wit
,
speaking
against
,
reproaching
,
reviling
,
and
slandering
,
and
backbiting
an
innocent
people
of
God
,
called
Quakers
?
22.
His
two
and
twentieth
Reason
:
And
saith
he
,
If
I
have
any
Reason
to
〈◊〉
weary
of
the
Christian
Catholick
Reformed
Religion
,
what
reason
have
I
to
turn
Qua●…
more
then
to
any
other
Sect
?
Why
(
saith
he
)
how
do
they
prove
they
are
more
in
the
ri●…
then
any
other
,
&c.
Ans.
To
all
this
I
answer
,
this
is
according
to
his
knowledge
,
who
sees
〈◊〉
difference
between
good
and
evil
,
between
such
as
serveth
God
,
and
such
as
serves
him
not
;
and
how
can
this
man
be
a
Teacher
of
others
that
is
so
blind
himself
;
The
true
Christian
Religion
he
is
out
of
,
and
in
a
Sect
,
whose
frui●…
are
as
bad
as
the
Papists
or
Familists
,
or
any
others
;
for
I
believe
not
the
wor●●
of
Sects
could
have
brought
forth
more
lyes
and
slanders
,
and
scoffing
wor●●
in
one
sheet
of
paper
,
then
he
hath
done
in
this
which
now
I
deal
withal
.
And
as
for
our
proof
that
we
are
in
the
right
way
,
to
every
man
that
hath
an
eye
to
see
,
and
an
ear
to
hear
,
and
an
heart
to
conceive
,
it
's
easie
to
be
proved
,
and
such
are
satisfied
;
but
as
for
Unbelievers
and
Persecutors
,
such
as
himself
,
they
must
hear
and
see
,
and
not
perceive
and
understand
.
23.
His
three
and
twentieth
Reason
:
Saith
he
,
The
way
by
which
they
pr●…
is
not
producing
any
evidence
,
for
they
renounce
that
,
and
offers
all
from
the
Aut●…
of
the
spirit
within
them
,
&c.
Ans.
The
way
by
which
we
prevail
is
by
the
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
which
〈◊〉
within
us
,
and
that
was
the
way
whereby
all
the
Ministers
of
Christ
ev●…
prevailed
,
by
the
authority
of
that
.
But
yet
this
is
false
,
we
do
not
deny
〈◊〉
produce
Evidence
,
but
is
sufficiently
able
,
and
hath
done
it
,
to
produce
Evi●…
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
to
prove
all
things
which
we
profess
or
practice
for
Religion
.
But
saith
he
,
They
must
prove
their
Commission
by
Divine
miracles
before
〈◊〉
reasonable
man
can
believe
it
,
&c.
many
that
fear
God
,
and
are
in
the
〈◊〉
Reason
,
hath
Believed
us
already
,
and
do
see
the
Mighty
Wonders
of
Go●…
brought
to
passe
,
and
it
cannot
be
believed
by
Richard
Baxter
,
no
more
〈◊〉
Christ
was
believed
of
the
Pharisees
,
in
whom
the
mighty
Power
of
God
〈◊〉
made
manifest
,
for
though
he
did
miracles
,
yet
this
Generation
could
not
believe
them
.
And
he
tells
of
some
that
said
he
was
〈◊〉
;
so
might
they
well
do
,
and
not
lye
,
his
blindness
is
made
manifest
at
larg●…
And
saith
he
,
But
can
I
see
the
Witness
in
them
that
saith
they
have
the
Witness
in
themselves
.
Nay
,
because
thou
art
an
Unbeliever
thou
canst
not
;
but
it
thou
wert
a
Believer
in
Christ
,
thou
wouldst
feel
the
same
Testimony
in
the
Brethren
;
but
by
thee
we
are
not
known
,
and
therefore
by
thee
are
falsly
Judged
;
for
no
other
Testimony
do
we
give
or
hold
forth
,
but
the
same
which
the
Apostles
did
,
which
we
have
received
from
Christ
as
the
Apostles
did
,
and
not
by
any
authority
of
our
own
,
though
he
falsly
says
it
,
but
by
the
Authority
of
the
Power
of
God
;
and
we
shall
not
much
seek
or
beg
our
Adversaries
belief
,
for
to
God
are
we
known
,
and
one
to
another
in
the
Spirit
,
and
not
to
the
wisdom
of
the
World
,
which
is
devilish
,
and
knows
not
,
nor
receives
not
the
things
which
be
eternal
.
His
last
Reason
:
They
teach
but
such
like
Dostrine
,
and
takes
the
like
course
as
many
of
the
Hereticks
did
,
and
saith
he
,
Shall
we
run
our selves
into
the
fire
which
hath
consumed
such
Heresie
through
former
Ages
,
&c.
Answer
.
To
this
I
answer
,
The
Doctrines
of
the
Gospel
we
hold
forth
and
teach
to
all
people
,
and
in
that
way
that
is
called
Heresie
,
worship
we
indeed
the
God
of
our
fathers
;
but
it
is
but
such
as
this
man
with
whom
I
deal
,
who
is
a
false
witness-bearer
,
and
a
reproacher
,
and
the
Company
of
Hireling-Teachers
,
and
such
like
,
that
doth
call
the
Way
of
God
Heresie
.
And
though
he
say
,
presently
after
the
Apostles
dayes
,
such
Hereticks
arose
and
troubled
the
Church
.
To
which
I
answer
,
Nay
it
is
just
such
like
as
himself
,
who
appeared
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
who
taught
for
filthy
lucre
,
and
for
gain
made
merchandize
of
souls
;
and
it
was
such
lying
Prophets
which
Iohn
saw
the
whole
world
run
after
in
his
days
,
and
they
were
them
that
troubled
the
Church
,
even
such
as
were
heady
,
and
high
minded
,
and
covetous
men
,
and
such
as
are
false
Accusers
,
and
fierce
men
;
and
his
shame
and
folly
is
made
manifest
,
and
so
his
lyes
and
slanders
are
turned
upon
his
own
head
.
And
in
his
conclusion
he
doth
beseech
Professors
to
consider
impartially
of
these
24.
Reasons
;
to
which
I
say
,
The
most
of
them
are
so
reasonlesse
,
that
they
will
rather
turn
to
his
own
confusion
,
then
to
his
praise
,
to
any
man
of
understanding
:
And
he
bids
all
bethink
themselves
,
first
,
What
a
doleful
thing
it
is
that
Professors
should
be
so
loose
and
unstable
,
&c.
Answ.
Doleful
it
is
indeed
that
after
so
much
preaching
of
Priests
of
England
,
people
should
be
so
ignorant
,
loose
,
and
unstable
as
indeed
they
are
,
and
this
is
,
a
very
shame
to
Teachers
,
and
shews
that
they
were
not
sent
of
God
,
because
that
the
people
are
not
profited
at
all
,
but
continues
ignorant
,
loose
,
and
unstable
and
wicked
,
according
to
their
own
confession
,
and
indeed
,
people
are
to
be
pittied
that
are
under
their
Ministry
,
who
by
it
can
never
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
but
must
be
ever
learning
fifty
or
sixty
years
,
and
ignorant
loose
,
and
unstable
at
their
very
end
,
and
yet
these
are
members
of
this
Church
of
England
,
so
called
,
which
the
very
Pastors
thereof
confesseth
to
be
loose
,
and
unstable
,
andwicked
,
and
brands
us
to
be
denyers
of
this
Church
,
as
indeed
we
have
good
reason
,
to
see
the
Members
thereof
so
wicked
,
loose
,
and
unstable
,
as
is
confessed
by
their
own
Teachers
,
therefore
we
cannot
be
condemned
for
denying
such
a
Church
.
Secondly
,
He
bids
consider
what
a
heavy
judgement
it
is
to
Professors
themselves
,
to
be
self-condemned
,
and
self-divided
from
the
Church
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
,
A
heavy
judgement
indeed
,
that
such
as
are
of
the
Church
should
be
self-condemned
,
and
self-divided
from
it
;
but
yet
it
is
a
blessed
thing
that
any
that
have
been
deceived
with
false
likeness
,
now
should
come
to
see
the
error
thereof
,
and
be
turned
to
the
true
Church
which
is
in
God
,
and
to
be
drawn
away
from
all
windy
Doctrines
of
Englands
Teachers
,
and
this
many
doth
witness
.
Then
he
exhorts
Christians
to
be
serious
,
and
be
true
to
the
Light
which
they
have
received
:
To
which
I
say
,
All
that
are
true
to
the
light
which
they
have
received
from
Christ
Iesus
,
will
deny
this
man
I
now
deal
withall
,
and
all
his
Lyes
and
Slanders
.
Then
he
bid-stick
close
to
the
Word
of
God
;
and
I
say
,
All
that
do
so
will
find
it
as
a
Fire
and
a
Hammer
,
and
will
be
gathered
from
under
the
dead
Doctrines
of
men
in
this
Age.
And
he
exhorts
them
to
stick
close
to
a
faithful
Ministry
:
To
which
I
say
,
Then
must
they
deny
all
Hirelings
,
and
such
as
preacheth
for
hire
,
for
such
are
not
of
the
faithfull
Ministry
,
but
Deceivers
of
people
.
And
thus
in
few
words
return
is
sent
in
the
pursute
of
a
Sheet
of
Lyes
and
Slanders
put
forth
into
the
World
,
and
all
sober-minded
people
by
this
may
come
to
a
good
understanding
between
Truth
and
error
.
And
though
he
hath
taken
a
course
to
spread
his
Books
〈◊〉
Ballads
and
Fables
,
by
having
them
cryed
up
and
down
the
streets
,
which
is
not
for
his
advantage
altogether
,
but
doth
shew
his
Work
ridiculous
to
all
wise
men
.
And
so
hereby
it
may
be
seen
that
all
his
Strong
Reasons
are
confounded
and
overturned
,
that
would
hinder
a
man
from
being
a
QUAKER
.
THe
main
and
chief
things
I
have
spoken
of
,
and
by
what
is
written
in
short
men
of
understanding
may
understand
what
his
whole
matter
can
be
:
But
in
the
beginning
of
his
Book
he
falls
a
complaining
of
the
lamentable
ignorance
and
ungodliness
of
common
People
;
and
of
the
pride
,
and
se●…conceitedness
of
Professors
of
godliness
,
and
of
the
weakness
,
and
giddiness
,
and
unstableness
of
others
:
To
this
I
Answer
;
It
is
true
,
abundance
are
ignorant
,
and
abundance
are
proud
and
self-conceited
,
and
abundance
unstable
and
giddy
in
their
minds
;
and
substract
these
from
the
whole
Company
of
the
Hearers
of
the
Teachers
of
England
,
and
there
is
but
a
few
left
(
if
any
at
all
)
that
are
truly
righteous
in
the
Sight
of
God
;
and
so
to
the
shame
of
all
the
Teachers
of
England
,
hath
he
confessed
the
truth
in
this
particular
;
and
sheweth
that
indeed
the
People
is
not
profited
by
them
:
and
this
is
a
strong
Argument
that
they
were
never
sent
of
God
,
but
hath
ran
and
were
never
sent
:
But
presently
after
that
he
cryes
out
of
Hereticks
and
Deceivers
,
even
like
as
the
Pope
doth
;
but
What
is
he
afraid
of
,
That
they
that
are
ignorant
,
and
ungodly
,
and
proud
,
and
self-conceited
,
unstable
,
and
giddy
,
should
be
deceived
,
they
that
are
in
those
iniquities
are
deceived
already
,
and
cannot
possibly
fall
into
greater
deceit
,
or
delusion
.
But
it
appears
,
That
many
of
the
Priests
of
England
cares
not
how
little
their
Hearers
profits
by
them
,
so
if
they
can
get
their
wages
,
their
Hire
,
their
great
sums
of
money
;
for
one
of
them
said
,
I
mean
a
supposed
Minister
of
England
)
in
Cambridge-shire
,
That
he
mattered
not
if
all
his
Hearers
went
to
the
Devil
,
so
they
would
but
give
him
his
dues
;
to
wit
,
Tythes
and
Maintenance
.
So
that
by
this
instance
,
you
may
judge
what
stock
they
are
of
,
and
what
their
endeavours
are
;
and
we
desire
that
people
may
be
undeceived
of
that
wherein
they
are
deceived
,
and
that
they
may
turn
from
such
a
Generation
of
covetous
Teachers
,
who
care
so
little
for
their
souls
.
And
whereas
he
saith
,
The
Quakers
are
but
of
a
few
years
standing
,
and
that
they
arose
from
among
the
Papists
but
a
few
year
ago
,
&c.
To
this
I
Answer
,
the
people
of
God
received
that
name
but
a
few
years
ago
,
but
the
Saints
were
Quakers
,
I
am
able
to
prove
,
long
before
;
for
Abrah●…
and
Isaac
,
and
Moses
,
and
Habakkuk
,
Daniel
,
and
Paul
,
and
all
the
rest
were
Quakers
,
though
they
were
not
called
so
;
and
though
our
name
is
new
,
yet
our
Religion
is
old
;
for
it
is
the
good
old
way
,
even
the
way
the
Apostles
walked
in
,
though
it
hath
been
over-clouded
for
many
years
in
the
dark
night
of
Apostacy
,
which
hath
been
over
the
whole
World
;
and
the
Beast
hath
Reigned
and
made
War
against
the
Saints
and
killed
them
,
and
this
hath
been
for
many
ages
as
you
may
read
:
Yet
there
was
a
Seed
which
God
preserved
for
himself
in
the
midst
of
darkness
,
but
now
is
the
Way
of
the
Lord
made
manifest
again
,
and
the
same
Power
and
Life
of
God
which
was
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
Truth
shall
spring
forth
,
and
Idolatry
shall
be
rooted
out
by
little
and
little
,
and
Antichrist
and
his
kingdom
shall
fall
,
and
even
Christ
the
Son
of
God
the
same
as
ever
was
,
for
no
other
do
we
own
,
but
him
who
was
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
;
he
shall
rule
,
and
his
People
shall
follow
him
.
And
though
he
saith
,
The
Quakers
be
an
upstart
Sect
:
using
such
scornful
words
,
not
beseeming
a
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
;
but
we
are
willing
to
bear
all
his
reproaches
for
Christs
sake
.
And
he
speaks
most
foolishly
,
and
saith
as
if
we
knew
not
the
contents
of
our
Religion
;
yea
,
we
know
the
contents
and
foundation
of
it
,
which
is
Christ
that
good
old
foundation
,
and
him
we
are
zealous
for
,
and
him
we
Preach
,
and
no
other
.
And
though
he
saith
,
The
Christians
Faith
hath
been
known
for
sixteen
hundred
years
ago
:
I
say
it
was
so
,
but
the
night
hath
been
over
all
,
wherein
no
man
can
work
,
since
it
hath
been
first
revealed
;
and
Traditions
,
and
Superstitions
hath
the
World
been
exercised
in
,
and
led
into
;
and
the
true
Faith
of
the
Gospel
hath
been
departed
from
,
and
many
knows
it
not
at
this
day
.
And
he
saith
,
He
abhors
any
Gospel
,
or
Religion
,
that
was
not
made
sixteen
hundred
yeares
ago
,
&c.
To
this
I
Answer
,
Then
must
he
abhor
his
own
practice
;
for
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
telling
people
it
is
a
Baptizing
into
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
was
not
so
long
since
nor
singing
Davids
experiences
in
Rime
and
Meeter
for
a
part
of
Gods
Worship
;
and
many
other
things
which
the
Priests
of
England
practise
for
Religion
and
Gospel
Ordinances
,
but
are
not
so
;
but
an
invention
came
in
many
years
since
the
Faith
was
revealed
to
the
Apostles
;
and
thus
he
hath
abhored
his
own
practise
,
and
is
condemned
out
of
his
own
mouth
.
And
whereas
he
speaks
of
one
that
lately
spoke
to
another
in
these
words
,
He
denied
the
God
that
he
Worshipped
.
That
might
be
true
:
for
thousands
in
England
Worships
the
god
of
this
World
;
and
that
god
the
Saints
deny
:
And
he
counts
it
a
thing
very
abominable
to
trust
to
that
Which
is
within
the
Saints
;
though
it
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
for
Christ
is
in
the
Saints
,
and
God
dwels
in
the
Saints
;
and
God
and
Christ
is
only
to
to
be
trusted
to
.
There
is
also
another
piece
put
forth
by
him
,
called
,
A
Sheet
for
the
Ministry
:
in
which
also
(
according
to
his
usual
manner
)
he
Rails
and
Lyes
against
the
Quakers
in
many
things
;
also
I
might
instance
in
many
more
things
wherein
he
hath
belyed
us
,
as
a
man
without
fear
or
honesty
:
and
much
ado
he
maks
about
Tythes
:
And
he
commends
his
Reader
to
the
Quakers
Catechisme
,
for
better
satifaction
.
And
I
do
commend
all
sober
people
to
the
Answer
of
the
same
,
wherein
his
folly
and
weakness
is
laid
open
,
as
in
them
particulars
.
But
he
saith
,
The
Tenths
are
theirs
as
fully
as
the
rest
are
ours
,
but
this
is
denyed
;
for
the
Tythes
are
not
paid
out
of
the
Lands
,
but
out
of
mens
labours
and
industrious
exercises
upon
the
Land
:
for
if
any
man
let
his
Land
lye
untilled
,
there
is
no
Tythes
claimed
;
so
that
it
is
manifest
it
's
paid
out
of
mens
labours
,
and
not
out
of
the
Land
:
and
many
other
things
we
have
against
Tythes
,
and
against
the
unjustness
of
them
,
and
the
oppression
growing
thereby
.
And
we
do
know
,
That
never
any
Minister
of
Christ
was
maintained
in
such
a
way
:
nay
,
they
were
so
far
off
being
maintained
by
a
Law
,
that
they
would
not
make
use
of
their
power
which
they
had
in
Christ
in
those
things
as
of
outward
maintenance
.
But
much
need
not
be
said
,
for
thousands
begins
to
see
the
grievous
burden
and
unlawfulness
of
Tythes
,
and
that
in
the
Gospel
administration
,
these
things
are
no
way
commanded
by
the
Law
of
God
,
but
as
they
came
in
by
tradition
,
and
were
established
by
the
Pope
,
and
are
now
the
chief
maintenance
of
Englands
Teachers
.
Indeed
grievous
and
sad
to
be
considered
it
is
,
how
many
hundreds
in
England
of
honest
men
are
made
havock
on
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
in
relation
to
Tythes
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
pay
to
the
upholding
of
an
Antichristian
Ministry
,
which
denies
Christ
come
in
the
flesh
,
by
upholding
Tythes
,
which
only
belonged
to
the
first
Priesthood
under
the
Law
,
and
was
never
practised
(
either
paid
or
received
by
any
)
of
them
that
were
Witnesses
of
Christ
come
,
or
after
his
death
,
who
did
thereby
fulfil
that
part
of
the
old
Covenant
,
and
put
an
end
to
that
Covenant
,
and
the
Priesthood
was
changed
that
took
Tythes
,
and
a
necessity
there
was
also
of
the
change
of
the
Law
as
it
is
written
.
So
this
is
an
Answer
in
part
to
Richard
Baxters
many
Lyes
and
Reproaches
,
and
his
whole
Work
is
turned
by
as
our
spoyled
prey
of
Babylons
treasure
;
and
no
more
to
be
recokned
in
the
Records
of
Truth
,
but
shall
stand
upon
an
account
,
among
the
corrupted
and
poluted
commodity
,
of
the
growth
of
Egypt
and
Babylon
.
And
this
is
for
the
satisfaction
of
honest
people
by
a
Friend
,
EDWARD
BURROUGH
.
THE
TRUE
Christian
Religion
Again
DISCOVERED
,
After
the
long
and
dark
Night
of
Apostacy
,
which
hath
overshaddow'd
the
whole
World
for
many
Ages
;
and
the
profession
and
practise
thereof
witnessed
unto
by
the
Scriptures
.
And
here
all
may
see
,
who
it
is
of
all
these
Sects
,
and
divers
Forms
of
Religion
in
these
Nations
,
that
are
agreeable
to
the
Scriptures
,
in
what
they
profess
and
Practice
,
and
who
it
is
that
are
not
according
thereunto
;
for
the
Line
of
true
Judgment
it
stretched
upon
all
Profession
,
and
a
true
search
into
,
and
tryal
thereof
is
made
,
and
hereby
it
is
manifest
who
it
is
,
and
what
sort
of
people
,
that
may
justly
claim
the
benefit
of
the
Protectors
Oath
,
to
be
protected
thereby
in
their
Practices
of
Religion
,
who
hath
bound
himself
to
maintain
and
uphold
that
Christian
Religion
which
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
&c.
FOrasmuch
as
Oliver
Cromwel
,
called
Lord
Protector
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
,
(
chief
Ruler
according
to
man
)
hath
bound
himself
by
an
Oath
,
and
Sworn
,
that
he
will
uphold
and
maintain
the
true
reformed
Protestant
Christian
Religion
in
the
purity
thereof
,
as
it
is
contained
in
the
Old
and
New
Testament
of
the
Scriptures
;
which
Oath
he
is
bound
to
perform
before
the
Lord
,
and
unto
all
men
.
Now
it
remains
to
be
tried
and
proved
,
what
the
Christian
Religion
is
;
and
who
they
are
in
these
Nations
that
are
of
the
true
reformed
Protestant
Christian
Religion
in
the
purity
thereof
,
as
it
is
contained
in
the
Scriptures
,
seeing
there
are
abundance
of
Sects
and
diversity
of
Judgements
,
and
many
Assemblies
and
Gatherings
of
people
,
who
are
divers
in
their
Wayes
,
in
their
Practices
,
and
in
their
Form
of
Religion
in
these
Nations
,
which
do
all
profess
the
Scriptures
,
and
that
their
Form
of
Religion
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
but
this
cannot
be
,
but
it
will
be
manifest
otherwise
;
for
the
Scriptures
,
which
were
given
forth
by
the
one
Spirit
of
God
,
bears
not
witness
of
many
true
Ways
,
or
unto
many
true
Religions
,
but
unto
one
Truth
,
and
unto
one
true
Religion
,
and
is
the
Declaration
of
one
way
of
Life
,
and
Salvation
,
by
one
Jesus
Christ
;
and
there
is
no
other
Name
under
Heaven
given
for
Salvation
:
And
they
that
believe
in
him
,
and
receive
him
,
those
are
they
onely
that
are
of
the
true
Religion
,
who
are
guided
by
the
Spirit
,
and
changed
thereby
from
Death
to
Life
;
and
such
have
unity
with
the
Father
,
and
with
the
Son
,
and
one
with
another
,
and
are
not
of
this
World
,
but
Heirs
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
and
these
may
own
and
claim
a
Title
to
be
defended
and
preserved
in
their
exercise
and
Practice
of
Religion
.
Therefore
come
all
sorts
of
People
,
and
let
us
try
and
prove
who
it
is
that
is
of
the
true
Religion
,
and
who
it
is
that
he
is
bound
to
maintain
and
uphold
by
his
Oath
:
Come
I
say
,
all
Sects
and
sorts
of
people
,
and
appear
to
Trial
:
Dare
you
joyn
issue
with
me
in
this
matter
,
to
try
your
Profession
and
Practise
o●
Religion
,
whether
it
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
in
the
purity
thereof
,
yea
or
nay
?
for
the
Lord
hath
put
it
into
my
Heart
,
to
lay
you
all
to
the
Line
of
true
Judgement
,
and
to
prove
you
whether
you
must
be
upholden
and
maintained
in
your
Religion
,
yea
,
or
nay
:
Come
claim
your
Priviledge
;
if
your
Profession
and
Practice
in
Religion
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
then
you
may
own
your
right
,
and
the
benefit
of
the
Protectors
Oath
;
but
if
your
Profession
and
Practice
in
Religion
be
otherwise
,
and
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
then
you
must
stand
back
,
and
defend
your selves
if
you
can
,
for
the
Protector
is
not
bound
to
maintain
and
uphold
you
in
your
Practice
of
Religion
.
And
with
this
Argument
I
shall
try
you
all
,
Whatsoever
is
professed
and
practised
for
Religion
,
for
which
there
is
neither
command
nor
president
in
Scripture
,
is
not
aecording
to
the
Scripture
;
let
this
fall
where
it
may
,
this
is
Truth
;
and
therefore
all
people
come
to
tryal
,
and
receive
your
judgement
by
this
rule
.
And
first
,
the
true
Religion
is
a
walking
with
God
in
purity
and
holiness
,
a
performing
of
good
to
him
,
and
not
doing
any
evil
;
a
belief
in
Christ
,
and
receiving
of
him
,
and
a
living
in
him
,
and
through
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
to
be
changed
into
his
Image
,
and
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
put
off
,
and
a
living
to
God
in
all
things
,
and
not
a
living
to
this
vain
World
in
any
thing
,
but
in
all
things
to
be
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
:
This
,
in
short
,
is
a
description
of
the
true
Religion
,
and
they
that
are
of
this
Religion
shall
be
saved
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
Equity
and
Righteousness
should
be
protected
according
to
the
Oath
before-mentioned
,
or
else
the
Oath
is
not
performed
in
justice
,
but
rather
broken
through
transgression
.
And
first
of
all
,
as
concerning
that
profession
and
practice
in
Religion
,
which
is
most
general
in
these
Nations
,
I
mean
such
as
sprinkle
Infants
,
and
are
sprinkled
being
Infants
;
professing
it
to
be
the
Baptism
into
the
Faith
of
Christ
;
and
that
it
is
a
seal
of
the
new
Covenant
,
and
of
remission
of
sins
,
and
that
thereby
people
are
made
capable
of
union
with
Christ
,
and
that
it
is
a
sign
of
regeneration
,
&c.
This
is
practised
and
professed
by
many
for
Religion
;
but
this
Practice
and
Doctrine
is
not
according
to
the
Scripture
;
therefore
all
ye
through
all
these
Nations
that
are
made
Christians
,
and
own
your
Title
in
Christianity
,
and
a
right
to
fellowship
with
Christ
;
and
that
ye
are
joyned
to
the
Church
,
and
become
Members
of
Christ
,
because
you
were
sprinkled
when
you
were
Infants
(
and
all
ye
that
preach
this
for
Doctrine
,
and
practise
it
for
Religion
)
you
are
not
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
in
the
Purity
thereof
,
as
it
is
contain'd
in
the
Scriptures
:
this
I
do
affirm
.
Therefore
stand
you
by
;
for
what
you
practise
and
profess
,
there
is
neither
Command
nor
President
in
Scripture
;
if
you
could
shew
any
,
you
are
now
called
,
and
a
Necessity
is
put
upon
you
,
to
make
use
of
your
Knowledge
,
if
you
would
be
protected
in
this
Common-Wealth
,
in
your
Practice
of
Religion
.
Likewise
you
sing
,
and
give
to
sing
,
David's
Psalms
in
Rhyme
and
Meeter
,
professing
it
is
to
the
Glory
and
Honour
of
God
;
ye
practise
this
as
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
as
a
part
of
his
Worship
,
and
as
a
part
of
your
Religion
;
but
this
Practice
and
Profession
also
is
manifest
not
to
be
according
to
Scriptures
;
because
it
was
never
commanded
;
neither
is
there
any
President
for
this
Practice
in
the
Scriptures
,
in
Gospel
Times
:
therefore
in
this
part
of
your
Religion
you
cannot
justly
own
to
be
pro
tected
and
maintained
;
because
the
Protector
's
Oath
reacheth
not
to
uphold
and
maintain
any
such
Practices
in
Religion
,
which
are
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
Likewise
,
all
ye
that
meet
together
,
to
exercise
your
Religion
,
and
to
worship
God
in
Temples
made
with
hands
,
set
a
part
by
you
for
that
Practice
,
professing
them
to
be
Churches
of
Christ
;
this
is
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
which
say
,
God
dwells
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands
;
neither
did
the
Saints
of
old
constantly
practice
any
such
thing
:
But
they
were
the
Persecutors
that
met
in
Temples
made
with
hands
,
who
cast
out
,
and
haled
▪
the
Apostles
out
of
such
Temples
:
so
that
in
this
Practice
you
cannot
justly
own
to
be
protected
,
as
not
being
a
Practice
in
Religion
according
to
Scriptures
.
Likewise
,
All
ye
,
whose
Ministers
preach
for
Hire
,
and
have
Hire
for
preaching
,
so
much
a
Year
,
and
so
much
a
Sermon
at
a
Town
or
a
Parish
in
a
settled
Place
;
and
who
take
Tythes
,
and
compel
People
to
pay
Tythes
by
a
Law
;
such
are
not
the
Ministers
of
Christ
;
and
ye
that
uphold
such
for
Ministers
of
Christ
,
are
false
in
Judgment
,
and
blind
in
Understanding
;
and
are
not
of
that
Christian
Religion
,
which
is
according
to
Scriptures
in
the
Purity
thereof
,
neither
Ministers
,
nor
People
;
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
never
acted
any
such
thing
:
they
were
the
false
Prophets
,
and
false
Apostles
,
that
preached
for
Hire
,
and
for
Gifts
,
and
Rewards
:
neither
did
the
Saints
and
Churches
of
Christ
look
upon
them
that
acted
those
things
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
declared
against
them
to
be
Deceivers
:
So
that
all
you
People
,
and
you
professed
Ministers
,
that
act
those
things
that
the
false
Prophets
acted
;
and
all
you
People
that
love
to
have
it
so
,
and
give
Hire
to
your
Ministers
for
Preaching
,
and
consent
unto
it
;
none
of
you
are
of
the
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
held
forth
in
the
Scriptures
;
because
this
part
of
your
Practice
in
Religion
is
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
Scriptures
.
Now
substracting
all
these
in
these
Nations
from
the
whole
,
which
practiseth
and
professeth
these
things
mentioned
for
Ordinances
of
God
,
and
for
his
Worship
,
none
of
you
are
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
held
forth
in
the
Scriptures
;
because
these
things
which
you
Practice
for
Religion
,
is
not
held
forth
in
all
the
Scriptures
by
any
example
or
command
,
likewise
you
are
of
the
greatest
number
of
people
in
all
these
Nations
;
and
that
Practice
and
Profession
of
Religion
,
which
the
greatest
number
follow
,
and
exercise
themselves
in
,
cannot
be
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
because
the
Scripture
saith
,
Few
are
in
the
straight
way
that
leads
to
Life
,
to
wit
,
in
the
pure
and
true
Religion
;
but
many
are
in
the
Broad
way
that
leads
to
destruction
;
and
such
that
are
the
greatest
number
,
who
are
in
the
broad
way
,
are
not
in
the
Religion
in
the
purity
thereof
,
as
it
is
held
forth
in
the
Scriptures
:
likewise
many
of
you
who
Practice
those
things
mentioned
for
Religion
,
are
yet
unconverted
to
God
,
but
live
in
wickedness
,
in
the
Pride
and
Vanities
,
and
in
all
the
evil
of
this
World
,
in
Double-dealing
,
in
Drunkenness
,
in
Whoredom
,
and
in
the
Works
of
Darkness
;
therefore
you
are
not
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
neither
do
your
walk
with
God
in
Purity
and
Holiness
,
neither
are
you
changed
by
Christ
into
his
Image
,
nor
are
guided
by
his
Spirit
;
neither
do
you
live
to
God
in
any
thing
,
but
to
this
World
in
all
things
;
and
your
Religion
is
manifest
not
to
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
but
contrary
.
And
so
let
all
people
consider
,
whether
or
no
you
must
be
maintained
in
your
Religion
?
Come
forth
and
plead
your
cause
all
ye
that
are
called
Presbyterians
and
Independants
,
and
all
others
,
stand
up
,
and
prove
if
you
can
,
your
Practice
in
Religion
to
be
according
to
Scriptures
;
but
seeing
no
man
is
able
to
prove
these
things
mentioned
,
which
is
practiced
by
you
for
Religion
,
to
wit
,
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
singing
David's
experiences
in
Rhime
and
Meeter
,
and
Worshipping
God
in
set-places
,
as
Idol-Temples
,
and
preaching
for
,
and
giving
great
sums
of
Money
for
preaching
,
with
other
things
practiced
by
you
for
Religion
;
neither
were
these
things
ever
commanded
in
Scriptures
;
neither
is
there
any
example
for
the
practise
of
these
things
in
Scripture
by
any
of
the
Lords
people
;
and
therefore
you
cannot
justly
own
a
Title
in
the
Protectors
Oath
,
to
be
maintained
and
upheld
by
vertue
thereof
in
these
your
practises
of
Religion
;
for
it
appears
he
is
but
bound
onely
to
uphold
and
maintain
that
Religion
,
which
is
according
to
Scriptures
,
and
not
them
who
practiceth
those
things
for
Religion
,
which
are
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
.
Likewise
all
ye
,
that
are
called
gathered
Churches
;
who
holds
sorth
for
Doctrine
,
that
the
Scriptures
are
the
Word
,
(
by
which
the
World
was
made
)
and
that
the
Scriptures
are
the
Foundation
;
and
that
the
Scriptures
are
the
Way
to
Salvation
;
and
that
the
Letter
and
the
Spirit
are
unseparable
;
and
that
the
Scriptures
are
both
the
Writings
,
and
the
thing
signified
;
and
that
except
a
man
be
Baptized
with
Water
;
he
cannot
be
saved
:
with
such
like
Doctrines
,
which
have
been
held
forth
by
some
professing
themselves
to
be
of
the
Church
of
Christ
;
all
you
are
manifest
not
to
be
of
the
Christian
Religion
,
because
those
Doctrines
are
not
according
,
but
rather
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
.
Likewise
,
All
ye
,
whose
Practice
in
the
Exercise
of
Religion
is
but
by
Imitation
from
the
Scriptures
,
and
you
are
not
led
by
the
Spirit
of
of
the
Father
in
what
you
speak
and
practice
;
you
are
not
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
:
for
the
Sons
of
God
,
and
who
are
of
the
true
Religion
,
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
not
by
their
own
Thoughts
,
and
Imaginations
,
and
the
Traditions
of
men
:
And
all
that
are
not
led
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
are
not
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
held
forth
in
the
Scriptures
;
and
not
any
,
that
are
such
,
can
justly
own
to
be
protected
in
their
Religion
;
because
it
is
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
Likewise
,
All
ye
that
do
profess
the
things
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
that
you
are
Members
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
profess
Righteousness
and
Truth
in
words
,
and
yet
live
in
Pride
,
and
the
Vanities
of
this
World
,
and
in
Unrighteousness
,
and
the
Customs
of
the
Heathen
,
which
are
vain
;
and
are
not
cleansed
from
Unrighteousness
,
nor
freed
from
the
Body
of
sin
and
death
;
neither
do
answer
your
Profession
with
a
Conversation
,
shewing
that
you
are
not
guided
with
that
Spirit
whose
words
you
do
profess
:
All
you
are
Hypocrites
,
and
live
in
Hypocrisie
;
none
of
you
are
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
held
forth
in
the
Scriptures
:
For
the
Exercise
in
true
Religion
sheweth
forth
in
Life
what
is
prosessed
in
words
.
Come
,
try
your selves
,
and
prove
your selves
all
sorts
of
people
;
for
now
your
Religion
is
to
be
try'd
,
what
Name
soever
you
go
under
:
And
all
you
that
practice
and
profess
those
things
for
Religion
,
for
which
there
is
neither
Command
nor
President
in
Scripture
,
your
Religion
is
concluded
not
to
be
according
to
Scriptures
;
and
so
no
Title
or
Priviledge
can
any
of
you
justly
own
,
of
being
upheld
or
maintain'd
by
the
Protector
's
Oath
.
But
,
as
I
have
said
,
For
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
singing
of
David
'
s
Experiences
in
Rhyme
and
Meeter
,
&c.
there
is
neither
Command
,
nor
President
in
Scriptures
;
and
therefore
,
you
that
practice
those
things
,
which
I
have
mention'd
,
for
Religion
,
are
not
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
which
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
which
is
to
be
protected
.
Likewise
all
ye
that
persecute
by
Reproaches
,
or
Revilings
and
Cruelty
,
or
that
cause
the
People
of
God
to
be
persecuted
;
many
of
you
there
are
in
these
Nations
,
which
profess
Religion
;
yet
are
Envious
Persons
,
and
Persecutors
of
the
Innocent
:
Hereby
it
is
manifest
,
that
you
are
not
of
that
Religion
which
is
according
to
Scriptures
;
for
the
Saints
never
persecuted
any
,
but
were
themselves
persecuted
for
Righteousness
sake
;
so
you
are
not
to
be
protected
in
such
Exercise
,
because
it
is
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
:
for
you
have
no
Example
from
the
Saints
for
professing
and
practizing
Religion
,
and
yet
persecuting
such
as
are
of
the
true
Religion
,
whose
Consciences
are
truly
exercised
towards
God
,
and
towards
all
men
.
Now
seeing
that
it
is
discovered
in
part
,
who
it
is
that
are
not
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
it
remains
to
be
proved
(
if
there
be
any
)
who
they
be
that
are
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
is
held
forth
in
the
Scriptures
;
and
who
they
be
that
are
to
be
protected
in
their
Practice
and
Exercise
of
Religion
:
And
as
concerning
the
dispised
and
rejected
People
,
called
Quakers
;
herein
I
shall
speak
for
them
,
as
a
Friend
to
them
,
and
a
Lover
of
their
Wayes
,
who
is
nor
ashamed
of
their
Practices
in
Religion
;
and
shall
measure
and
try
their
Practices
in
Religion
,
whether
they
be
according
to
Scripture
;
and
if
it
prove
so
to
be
,
that
what
they
practice
for
Religion
,
and
hold
forth
for
Doctrine
,
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
then
why
should
not
they
own
their
Right
and
Priviledge
,
to
be
upholden
and
maintained
by
the
Protector
's
Oath
,
who
hath
sworn
to
uphold
and
maintain
them
and
their
Religion
,
whose
Exercise
in
Religion
is
according
to
Scriptures
;
being
that
same
People
are
,
and
have
been
faithful
Subjects
of
this
Common-Wealth
?
And
first
of
all
,
They
dare
not
own
themselves
to
be
Christians
,
nor
to
be
Members
of
Christ
,
nor
to
have
any
Right
or
Title
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
but
as
they
witness
converting
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
are
changed
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Satan's
power
unto
the
Power
of
God
,
through
the
Operation
of
the
same
Spirit
;
and
as
in
all
their
Works
,
and
Wayes
,
and
Exercises
in
Religion
,
they
are
guided
by
the
same
Spirit
,
who
leadeth
them
out
of
the
World
,
and
out
of
the
Vanities
and
Evil-Works
thereof
;
and
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
And
their
Religion
herein
is
justify'd
by
the
Scriptures
,
who
witness
,
That
Christ
is
in
them
,
and
that
they
have
receiv'd
him
through
Faith
,
and
thereby
are
cleansed
from
all
Unrighteousness
,
and
have
put
off
,
and
are
putting
off
the
Body
of
sin
and
death
,
and
walk
with
God
in
Purity
and
Holiness
,
being
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
therein
;
and
with
God
they
have
Peace
,
being
reconciled
by
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
their
Salvation
,
and
they
have
no
other
:
And
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
And
again
,
As
concerning
their
Meetings
,
and
the
manner
thereof
;
They
are
not
contrary
,
but
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
,
though
they
meet
in
many
Parts
of
these
Nations
by
great
Numbers
,
some
in
the
open
Fields
,
and
some
on
the
Mountains
in
some
Places
,
and
sometimes
without
Doors
,
and
sometimes
in
Houses
;
all
this
Practice
is
according
to
Scriptures
:
For
,
we
read
,
Mat.
5.
1.
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
;
That
there
were
great
Multitudes
of
People
that
follow'd
him
;
and
he
went
up
into
a
Mountain
,
and
preached
,
and
taught
them
upon
the
Mountain
:
And

we
read
,
That
there
were
great
Multitudes
,
that
came
out
of
the
Cities
unto
Iesus
,
into
the
Deserts
;
and
he
had
compassion
towards
them
,
and
did
good
unto
them
:
And
at
that
time
there
were
many
Thousands
met
together
,
as
you
may
read
;
and
it
seems
,
stay'd
many
whole
dayes
together
;
for
they
sate
down
on
the
Grass
,
and
eat
together
;
and
then
Iesus
sent
the
Multitudes
away
:
And
in
Mark
6.
you
may
read
,
how
that
Multitudes
came
to
Iesus
out
of
the
Cities
into
a
desert
Place
;
and
Iesus
began
to
teach
them
many
things
in
that
desert
Place
;
for
,
he
had
compassion
on
the
Multitude
:
And
in
Luke
9.
how
the
people
again
follow'd
Jesus
into
a
desert
Place
,
and
he
preached
unto
them
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
Such
Meetings
then
were
counted
strange
,
as
such
Meetings
are
now
,
when
the
People
of
God
meet
together
by
great
Numbers
,
to
preach
,
and
to
hear
the
Kingdom
of
God
preached
:
But
their
Meetings
are
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
People
of
God
,
in
Generations
past
,
met
in
the
same
manner
as
the
People
of
God
,
called
Quakers
,
meet
now
:
For
sometimes
Christ
preached
out
of
a
[
](A30510-e47740-b)*
*
Mark
41
,
2.
Luke
5.
3
,
Ship
unto
the
People
that
stood
on
the
Sea
Shore
:
And
[
](A30510-e47770-b)*
*
Act.
20.
Paul
kneeled
down
and
prayed
among
the
Saints
near
the
Sea
Shore
,
at
his
passing
into
the
Ship
:
And
we
read
,
Acts
2.
that
there
was
Three
Thousand
converted
at
one
Sermon
;
then
there
must
needs
be
a
great
Meeting
,
and
a
great
deal
of
People
met
together
:
Such
Meetings
now
are
wondred
at
;
but
such
Meetings
are
but
according
to
Scripture
;
so
that
this
part
of
their
Practice
in
Religion
is
agreeable
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
same
as
the
Saints
Practice
was
in
Ages
past
.
And
as
for
the
People
of
God
meeting
together
,
sometimes
in
the
Night-season
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
sometimes
sitting
in
Silence
,
and
waiting
upon
the
Lord
,
and
no
words
utter'd
amongst
them
;
but
every
one
sitting
silent
before
the
Lord
,
having
receiv'd
nothing
from
the
Lord
to
speak
one
to
another
;
at
which
the
people
of
the
World
do
wonder
,
and
falsly
judge
it
not
to
be
a
Christian
Exercise
:
But
we
read
in
the
Scripture
,
Iob
2.
that
Iob
(
who
was
a
Christian
;
for
he
was
a
just
and
perfect
man
)
he
and
his
Friends
sate
upon
the
Ground
seven
dayes
and
seven
nights
,
and
spake
not
a
word
one
to
another
;
this
would
be
a
strange
thing
at
this
day
to
see
practised
:
And
in
Ier.
8.
14.
you
may
read
,
where
the
Prophet
Ieremiah
exhorted
the
people
to
assemble
themselves
,
and
said
,
Let
us
enter
into
defenced
Cities
,
and
let
us
be
silent
there
;
for
the
Lord
our
God
hath
put
us
to
Silence
:
But
such
a
Practice
now
is
thought
strange
by
the
people
of
the
World
,
who
are
not
acquainted
with
the
Wayes
of
God
;
who
are
wise
in
their
own
Eyes
,
and
know
not
what
it
is
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
silence
,
who
never
yet
were
put
to
silence
in
themselves
by
the
Lord
.
And
you
may
read
Ezek.
3.
where
the
Prophet
sate
down
among
the
People
of
the
Captivity
,
and
they
were
astonish'd
seven
dayes
;
and
at
the
end
of
seven
dayes
(
and
not
before
)
the
Word
of
the
Lord
came
to
the
Prophet
:
So
that
you
see
it
was
the
Practice
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
oft-times
to
sit
and
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
Silence
;
though
people
wonder
at
such
Meetings
now
.
And
we
do
not
read
,
That
there
was
alwayes
speaking
among
the
Saints
in
the
Churches
,
when
they
were
met
together
:
But
,
Acts
2.
we
read
,
That
the
Church
was
met
together
in
a
Place
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
fell
upon
them
,
and
then
they
began
to
speak
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance
;
then
it
seems
they
had
not
spoken
before
,
though
they
had
met
together
in
a
House
;
and
then
they
spoke
the
wonderful
things
of
God
;
and
some
that
heard
,
mocked
,
and
others
said
,
they
were
full
of
New
Wine
,
even
as
the
people
of
the
World
do
at
this
day
,
when
any
of
the
People
of
the
Lord
are
moved
to
speak
as
the
Spirit
gives
utterance
:
So
that
sometimes
to
sit
in
Silence
,
being
met
together
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
as
many
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
in
this
Nation
,
is
a
Practice
of
Religion
,
and
not
contrary
,
but
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
many
of
the
Servants
,
and
Assemblies
of
the
Lord's
People
practiz'd
the
same
thing
in
Ages
past
,
as
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
at
this
day
;
&
so
this
Practice
is
to
be
upholden
and
maintained
,
because
it
is
proved
to
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
same
thing
was
practiz'd
heretofore
.
And
we
read
,
(
Acts
20.
7.
)
That
the
Church
met
in
the
Night
;
for
Paul
continued
his
Sermon
till
Midnight
.
And
as
for
their
Practice
in
Speaking
,
either
man
or
Woman
,
as
the
Spirit
gives
utterance
,
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
though
it
be
much
wondred
at
,
and
cry'd
against
by
the
Wise-men
and
People
of
this
Age
;
for
we
read
,
Acts
2.
that
they
spoke
in
their
Meeting
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance
,
without
studying
before-hand
what
to
say
:
And
the
Lord
promised
,
That
Sons
and
Daughters
should
Prophesie
:
And
in
Acts
21.
9.
we
read
of
one
that
had
four
Daughters
that
did
Prophesie
:
And
divers
other
places
in
Scripture
do
shew
,
That
Women
[
](A30510-e48170-b)*
*
Phil.
4.
3.
labour'd
in
the
Gospel
;
which
doth
prove
that
a
Woman
speaking
and
declaring
the
things
of
God
,
is
not
contrary
,
but
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
that
any
who
are
moved
of
the
Lord
,
may
declare
the
things
of
God
,
Man
or
Woman
:
And
the
Apostle
saith
,
1
Pet.
4.
10.
As
every
man
hath
received
the
Gift
,
even
so
minister
the
same
one
to
another
:
So
that
this
Practise
in
Religion
is
proved
to
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
And
as
concerning
their
call
to
the
Ministry
,
some
are
called
from
their
ordinary
callings
,
as
from
the
Plough
,
or
from
handicraft
work
or
tradings
,
or
such
like
;
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
also
,
for
we
read
Matt.
4.
18
,
19.
where
the
Disciples
were
called
from
their
Nets
,
and
some
were
called
from
the
receipt
of
Custom
;
and
we
read
Amos
7.
that
he
was
a
Herdsman
,
and
a
gatherer
of
Sycamore
fruit
;
and
[
](A30510-e48240-b)*
*
1
Kings
19.
19.
Elisha
was
called
from
the
Plough
;
and
some
others
were
called
from
keeping
of
Sheep
:
So
that
their
call
to
the
Ministry
,
and
Practice
in
the
Ministry
,
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
in
former
Ages
were
called
to
the
Ministry
after
the
same
manner
;
so
in
that
they
do
agree
to
the
Scripture
both
in
Ministry
and
ministring
,
and
so
may
own
protection
herein
by
the
Protectors
Oath
.
And
as
concerning
their
going
up
and
down
through
the
Countries
,
and
from
City
to
City
,
and
from
one
Town
to
another
,
and
from
one
Nation
to
another
,
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
though
some
seek
occasion
thereby
against
them
,
and
unjustly
take
them
as
for
Vagabonds
,
and
executes
their
envy
upon
them
,
yet
it
was
the
Apostles
Practice
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Book
of
Acts
,
where
the
Apostles
travelled
from
Country
to
Country
,
and
from
one
City
to
another
.
And
though
some
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
are
moved
now
to
speak
and
dispute
in
the
Markets
,
and
reprove
Sin
in
the
Gates
,
and
in
the
Streets
,
and
in
the
High-wayes
;
and
threatning
God's
Judgments
against
the
Wicked
;
all
these
things
are
according
to
Scripture
,
and
their
Practice
herein
is
justified
by
the
Scriptures
:
for
we
read
,
Acts
17.
17.
That
Paul
disputed
in
the
Synagogues
with
the
Jews
,
and
with
the
devout
Persons
,
and
in
the
Market
daily
,
with
them
that
met
with
him
:
And
we
read
,
Ier.
7.
That
he
was
commanded
to
stand
in
the
Gate
of
the
Lord's
House
,
and
to
speak
to
all
that
passed
into
it
:
And
Ier.
26.
we
read
,
That
he
was
commanded
to
stand
in
the
Court
of
the
Lord's
House
,
without
doors
,
and
to
speak
to
all
the
Cities
of
Judah
:
And
we
read
in
the
Book
of
Ionas
,
How
he
was
commanded
to
go
through
the
Streets
,
and
to
reprove
Sin
,
and
to
threaten
God's
Iudgments
against
the
Wicked
;
and
these
Practices
were
strange
in
that
Generation
,
as
they
are
at
this
day
unto
the
World
,
who
are
not
acquainted
with
the
Wayes
of
God
:
But
all
people
may
see
,
though
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
practice
these
things
now
as
they
are
moved
,
their
Practice
herein
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
in
former
Ages
acted
the
same
things
;
so
that
in
this
Practice
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
ought
not
to
be
persecuted
,
but
protected
and
maintained
in
it
,
and
that
by
the
Protector
's
Oath
,
because
it
is
proved
to
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
which
he
is
sworn
to
maintain
.
And
as
concerning
their
crying
against
such
,
and
declaring
against
them
by
word
and
writing
,
That
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
Divine
for
Money
;
and
seek
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
and
such
who
go
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
have
Sums
of
Money
by
the
Year
for
Preaching
;
and
though
they
deny
such
that
act
those
things
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
this
Practice
also
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
we
read
in
Mic.
3.
that
he
declar'd
against
such
as
Preached
for
Hire
,
and
Divined
for
Money
;
and
such
were
no
Ministers
of
Christ
:
And
we
read
,
Isa.
●6
.
that
he
declared
against
them
that
sought
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
which
were
Greedy
Covetous
men
,
such
as
are
many
of
the
Teachers
of
England
:
Again
,
we
read
Mat.
23.
where
Christ
declar'd
against
such
,
and
did
not
own
such
to
be
any
of
his
Ministers
,
Who
were
called
of
men
Master
,
who
stood
praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
and
had
the
chief
Places
in
the
Assemblies
:
And
we
read
in
2
Pet.
2.
and
in
many
other
places
,
where
the
Apostles
declared
against
such
,
and
deny'd
such
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
that
preached
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
took
Gifts
and
Rewards
for
Preaching
,
and
by
feigned
words
made
Merchandize
of
Souls
,
who
were
Heady
and
High-minded-men
,
as
you
may
read
,
2
Tim.

chap.
and
such
men
were
deny'd
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
by
the
Prophets
,
Christ
and
his
Apostles
:
so
that
all
people
may
see
this
Practice
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
at
this
day
,
who
are
moved
to
declare
against
such
men
,
that
act
these
things
mentioned
,
is
perfectly
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
spoken
of
in
Scripture
,
did
the
very
same
things
in
this
particular
,
as
are
done
at
this
day
:
Therefore
for
this
Practice
they
ought
not
to
be
persecuted
,
as
they
have
been
,
but
ought
to
be
protected
and
maintained
in
it
,
and
that
by
the
Protector
's
Oath
,
who
hath
sworn
,
to
maintain
that
practice
which
is
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
to
declare
against
them
that
preach
for
Hire
,
and
have
great
sums
of
Money
for
Preaching
,
and
that
are
called
of
men
Master
,
and
that
take
Gifts
and
Rewards
of
people
for
Preaching
:
I
say
,
to
do
thus
is
a
practice
which
the
Scripture
gives
a
large
Example
for
;
and
so
it
must
needs
be
according
to
Scripture
,
and
ought
to
be
protected
in
this
Government
.
Again
,
as
concerning
their
denying
to
respect
Persons
,
or
to
b●…
with
the
Hat
or
Knee
,
in
respect
of
worshipping
any
Creature
,
this
also
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
though
the
people
of
the
World
,
who
live
in
pride
,
and
vain
customs
,
are
offended
with
them
in
this
Practice
;
for
we
read
,
that
God
commanded
,
not
to
bow
to
any
Likeness
,
Exod.
20.
And
we
read
Iames
2.
the
Apostle
exhorts
,
not
to
have
the
Faith
of
〈◊〉
Lord
Iesus
with
respect
of
Persons
,
but
condemns
that
practice
of
respe●●ing
such
as
are
in
goodly
Apparel
,
and
gay
Cloathing
,
and
have
gold
Rings
,
above
a
poor
man
in
vile
Raiment
;
and
he
saith
plainly
,
They
that
have
respect
to
Persons
,
commits
sin
;
and
we
read
that
the
Pharisees
said
of
Christ
,
he
respected
no
mans
person
;
and
he
is
our
Example
.
And
we
read
that
the
three
Children
were
cast
into
the
fiery
Furnace
with
indignation
before
the
King
,
being
bound
before
him
,
and
cast
into
the
Furnace
,
Daniel
3.
And
we
read
that
Paul
,
and
all
the
Servants
of
God
,
did
Thou
Kings
,
and
Princes
,
and
Rules
;
and
they
spoke
plainly
to
all
men
,
and
durst
not
give
flattering
Title
to
any
,
as
you
may
read
in
Iob
33.
so
that
all
people
may
see
their
Practice
in
denying
to
respect
Persons
,
and
in
speaking
plainly
,
without
flattering
Titles
to
any
man
,
or
denying
to
pull
off
the
Hat
,
or
bowing
to
men
i●
gay
Clothing
,
or
giving
place
to
such
that
wear
gold
Rings
,
and
have
goodly
Apparel
,
before
such
as
have
vile
Raiment
,
is
justly
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
though
people
stumble
at
such
Practices
;
and
the
People
of
God
may
claim
to
be
maintained
in
this
Practice
of
their
Religion
,
seeing
it
is
proved
to
be
commanded
in
Scriptures
,
not
to
respect
the
Person
of
any
man
;
and
also
it
was
the
Saints
practice
,
and
therefore
herein
they
ought
not
to
be
condemned
,
but
justified
,
as
being
a
practice
in
Religion
agreeing
with
the
Scriptures
.
And
as
concerning
their
denying
Obedience
to
Magistrates
in
some
Cases
,
this
is
according
to
Scripture
also
;
for
we
read
,
that
the
Rulers
commanded
the
Apostles
,
and
straitly
charged
them
to
speak
no
more
i●
the
Name
of
Iesus
;
yet
the
Apostles
did
not
obey
Magistrates
herein
,
neither
did
they
cease
to
Preach
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
:
and
though
Christ
was
commanded
,
or
besought
to
depart
out
of
their
Coasts
;
y●●
he
did
not
obey
their
request
:
and
we
read
that
the
three
Children
wer●
commanded
to
worship
the
great
Image
,
yet
they
did
not
obey
this
Command
of
the
King
:
so
that
all
people
may
see
it
is
lawfull
for
the
Saints
to
disobey
Commands
of
Kings
and
Rulers
,
where
they
command
that
to
be
done
or
spoken
which
God
doth
not
,
but
the
contrary
.
And
I
say
again
,
Where
Kings
or
Rulers
,
Parents
or
Masters
,
doth
command
or
require
any
thing
of
them
that
are
under
them
,
which
is
not
according
to
God
,
in
such
causes
Subjects
,
or
People
,
and
Children
and
Servants
are
free
,
and
not
required
of
the
Lord
to
subject
to
any
thing
which
is
not
justly
according
to
him
;
but
yet
we
say
,
That
Subjects
,
and
People
,
and
Children
,
and
Servants
ought
to
subject
to
them
that
have
rule
over
them
,
in
all
things
which
is
according
to
God
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
by
the
Law
of
God
all
People
are
bound
to
obey
those
that
have
Rule
over
them
,
not
to
disobey
them
in
any
thing
which
may
stand
with
the
Exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
to
God
;
so
that
though
the
People
of
the
Lord
now
do
deny
to
depart
out
of
a
Town
or
Place
,
and
though
they
will
not
cease
to
declare
against
sin
and
wickedness
in
Teachers
and
People
,
though
a
Magistrate
command
it
,
this
is
but
according
to
the
Scripture
;
for
the
Apostles
went
on
boldly
,
declaring
the
Name
of
the
Lord
after
they
were
forbidden
:
And
thus
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
now
,
they
freely
declare
the
Way
of
Salvation
,
and
call
People
to
repent
,
and
reprove
Iniquity
in
all
sorts
of
people
,
though
wicked
men
command
them
to
the
contrary
,
and
falsely
charges
them
,
that
they
are
disobedient
to
Government
,
and
Authority
,
though
they
are
not
,
no
more
then
the
Servants
of
God
,
and
Apostles
of
Christ
,
who
in
the
same
causes
did
the
same
things
;
and
the
Lord
hath
commanded
to
cr●●●●ud
,
and
not
to
spare
,
but
to
tell
people
of
their
Transgressions
;
and
therefore
many
of
the
Lords
Servants
do
deny
to
be
silent
,
or
to
cease
from
declaring
against
sin
,
though
a
Magistrate
command
it
:
And
Christ
hath
commanded
not
to
swear
at
all
;
and
therefore
many
do
deny
to
swear
upon
any
account
,
in
any
place
,
though
the
Magistrates
do
command
it
;
for
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
deny
to
put
off
a
Hat
,
or
to
Bow
,
in
respect
of
any
mans
person
,
though
a
Magisttate
command
it
;
for
the
Scripture
doth
say
,
He
that
respects
Persons
commits
sin
;
so
that
all
people
may
see
that
what
the
Servant
of
the
Lord
doth
in
these
things
,
are
not
contrary
,
but
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
all
these
things
were
commanded
and
practised
by
the
Saints
in
former
Ages
,
and
they
said
,
It
was
better
to
obey
God
then
man
;
and
we
ought
to
do
it
in
all
things
,
and
that
according
to
the
Scriptures
too
.
So
that
in
all
these
practises
in
Religion
the
Scriptures
justifies
them
,
and
are
as
Witnesses
to
them
,
and
they
might
claim
protection
in
the
exercise
of
them
by
the
Protectors
Oath
;
but
if
they
be
not
maintained
,
but
persecuted
for
the
practice
of
these
things
,
then
will
the
Light
in
every
mans
Conscience
witness
the
Oath
is
broken
,
and
not
kept
;
for
it
extends
to
uphold
and
maintain
the
practice
of
Religion
which
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
as
these
are
proved
to
be
.
And
as
concerning
their
Doctrines
which
the
World
stumbles
at
,
yet
their
Doctrines
are
according
to
the
Scripture
;
though
they
say
,
Christ
is
the
Light
of
the
World
,
and
lighteth
every
man
,
or
hath
given
light
to
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
this
is
according
to
the
Scripture
;
as
you
may
read
,
Iohn
8.
12.
and
1.
9.
and
though
they
turn
people
from
Darkness
to
the
Light
of
Christ
within
them
,
and
exhort
people
to
hearken
to
that
within
them
,
and
not
to
seek
a
Christ
without
them
,
to
ascend
or
descend
to
fetch
him
;
these
Doctrines
are
perfectly
according
to
the
Scripture
;
for
you
may
read
,
Acts
26.
18.
P●…
saith
,
He
was
sent
to
turn
People
from
Darkness
to
the
Light
,
and
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
Power
of
God
:
and
Rom.

you
may
read
the
Apostle
saith
,
What
saith
it
?
The
Word
is
nigh
thee
,
in
thy
Heart
,
that
is
the
Word
of
Faith
which
we
preach
;
and
they
were
not
to
say
,
Who
shall
ascend
,
or
desc●…
to
fetch
Christ
.
And
though
they
tell
people
,
They
must
witness
Christ
in
them
,
〈◊〉
else
they
cannot
be
saved
:
This
also
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
as
you
may
read
,
2
Cor.
13.
the
Apostle
saith
,
Iesus
Christ
is
in
you
,
except
ye
〈◊〉
Reprobates
.
And
though
they
say
,
Christ
is
the
Word
of
God
,
and
do
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
,
by
which
the
World
was
made
:
This
Doctrine
also
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
we
read
,
Rev.
19.
13.
That
the
Name
of
Iesus
is
called
the
Word
of
God
:
And
Luke
1.
of
the
Scriptures
it
is
sa●●
,
They
are
a
Declaration
by
those
which
were
Eye-witnesses
,
and
Ministers
of
the
Word
.
And
though
they
press
people
to
Perfection
,
and
do
say
,
Men
〈◊〉
be
p●…ect
upon
Earth
,
and
compleat
in
Christ
Iesus
:
This
Doctrine
also
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
for
you
may
read
,
1
Cor.
chap.

,
&

of
〈◊〉
that
were
perfect
,
who
were
men
upon
Earth
;
and
the
Minist●●●
of
Christ
spoke
Wisdom
among
them
that
were
already
perfect
:
And
Col.
2.
10.
the
Apostle
saith
unto
the
Church
,
who
were
men
in
this
Life
upon
Earth
,
he
saith
to
them
,
Ye
are
Compleat
in
him
.
And
though
they
press
the
people
to
live
without
sin
,
and
do
say
,
They
that
are
born
of
God
do
not
commit
sin
:
This
also
is
according
to
the
Scripture
;
for
it
is
Christ's
Command
,
Mat.
5.
Be
perfect
,
as
y●●r
Fa●●er
in
Heaven
is
perfect
:
And
1
Iohn
3.
there
it
is
spoken
of
some
that
were
the
Sons
of
God
already
,
and
he
saith
,
Whosoever
is
born
of
God
,
●oth
not
commit
sin
;
for
he
cannot
sin
,
because
he
is
born
of
God
:
and
saith
〈◊〉
.
As
he
is
,
[
Christ
]
so
are
we
in
this
present
World
.
And
now
all
people
may
understand
,
that
in
all
these
Doctrines
which
they
do
hold
forth
,
they
do
fully
agree
with
the
Scriptures
;
and
they
be●●●…ness
to
the
Truth
of
their
Doctrines
,
that
the
Servants
of
God
,
and
the
Apostles
of
Christ
,
did
preach
the
very
same
things
for
Doctrine
,
a●…done
at
this
day
;
and
so
these
Doctrines
are
not
to
be
wondred
at
,
not
so
much
as
they
are
by
the
wicked
,
to
be
cryed
against
for
〈◊〉
and
error
;
and
these
few
particulars
onely
I
have
mentioned
,
at
which
the
people
of
this
Age
the
most
stumble
at
;
and
all
other
things
whatsoever
,
which
is
held
forth
for
Doctrines
unto
people
I
am
able
to
prove
them
by
the
Scriptures
,
that
in
all
things
they
are
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
not
different
or
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
;
so
〈◊〉
all
people
may
take
notice
and
see
,
that
whatsoever
they
do
practice
for
Religion
,
or
hold
forth
for
Doctrine
,
they
do
herein
justly
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
they
justifie
their
Practices
and
Doctrines
in
these
things
mention'd
,
and
in
whatsoever
else
can
be
objected
by
any
man
.
And
this
I
shall
take
in
hand
to
prove
before
all
the
World
,
That
the
People
of
God
,
called
.
Quakers
,
do
practice
nothing
for
Religion
,
or
preach
for
Doctrine
,
but
what
is
perfectly
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
the
Old
and
New
Testament
,
and
in
the
fulfilling
of
them
;
and
so
they
are
proved
to
be
of
that
True
Christian
Religion
,
which
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
so
may
fully
claim
Protection
and
Preservation
in
their
Practice
of
Religion
;
And
this
is
to
be
consider'd
by
the
Protector
,
and
all
Magistrates
and
People
in
these
Nations
,
that
they
may
know
what
the
true
Christian
Religion
is
,
and
who
is
in
it
,
and
who
is
not
in
it
;
and
for
this
purpose
is
this
written
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
all
people
,
that
they
may
see
who
it
is
that
hath
a
Right
and
Priviledge
to
be
protected
and
upholden
by
vertue
of
the
Oath
.
Likewise
,
all
may
understand
,
That
what
such
practice
and
profess
for
Religion
,
is
not
without
good
Ground
;
but
that
the
very
same
things
were
practized
by
them
that
were
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
and
preached
for
Doctrine
by
them
that
were
Saints
,
which
is
now
practiz'd
and
held
forth
by
the
People
of
God
;
and
the
Scriptures
do
fully
bear
witness
in
all
things
,
shewing
that
such
are
guided
by
the
same
Spirit
,
which
the
Saints
were
guided
by
in
Ages
past
;
and
as
they
had
,
so
have
these
the
Testimony
,
That
they
are
of
God
,
and
that
the
whole
World
lies
in
Wickedness
.
And
as
concerning
their
being
persecuted
by
many
of
the
Rulers
,
Priests
and
People
,
though
they
be
sent
to
Prison
,
and
banished
out
of
Towns
,
and
whipped
,
and
beaten
,
and
scorned
,
and
reviled
;
this
is
also
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
Scripture
is
fulfilled
upon
them
;
for
the
same
things
were
done
to
the
Apostles
,
and
to
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
as
you
may
read
through
the
Acts
,
the
people
mocked
the
Apostles
,
and
slandered
them
,
and
said
they
were
full
of
new
Wine
;
and
the
chief
Priests
conspired
against
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
,
and
incensed
the
Magistrates
against
them
,
and
the
Magistrates
put
Christ
,
and
many
of
the
Apostles
in
Prison
,
and
caused
them
to
be
whipped
and
beaten
,
and
to
be
banished
,
and
many
other
cruelties
done
unto
them
;
the
Scripture
is
full
to
prove
this
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
of
it
;
and
Christ
said
,
They
shall
persecute
you
,
and
speak
all
manner
of
evil
of
you
for
my
Name
sake
,
and
as
they
have
done
unto
me
,
so
shall
they
do
〈◊〉
you
;
ye
shall
be
hated
of
Nations
:
And
the
Apostle
said
,
All
that
will
give
godly
in
Christ
Iesus
shall
suffer
persecution
.
So
that
all
people
may
see
,
though
the
people
of
the
Lord
be
persecuted
,
and
reviled
,
and
imprisoned
,
and
cruelty
done
unto
them
;
and
though
it
be
done
by
the
chief
Magistrates
,
and
chief
Rulers
,
and
the
wise
men
of
this
Age
,
all
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
that
the
Scriptures
might
be
fulfilled
;
and
the
same
things
which
are
now
done
unto
the
people
of
God
,
were
done
unto
the
people
of
God
in
Ages
past
,
by
the
same
Instruments
,
to
wit
,
the
Rulers
and
Magistrates
;
and
by
the
same
means
,
to
wit
,
by
the
information
,
and
false
accusations
of
the
chief
Priests
and
Teachers
;
in
Ieremiah
you
may
read
how
the
Priests
sought
to
take
away
his
Life
;
and
you
may
read
how
the
chief
Priests
consulted
against
Christ
,
and
how
they
complain'd
to
the
Magistrates
against
him
and
the
Apostles
;
and
the
same
things
are
now
come
to
pass
,
and
we
do
not
strange
at
it
;
for
they
are
the
chief
Priests
of
England
that
do
most
seek
the
Persecution
,
and
cause
the
People
of
God
to
be
persecuted
,
by
their
complaining
and
petitioning
to
the
Magistrates
;
so
that
in
all
these
things
,
not
only
what
is
practised
and
preached
for
Doctrine
,
but
also
in
what
is
suffered
,
is
perfectly
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
all
people
that
are
not
blind
,
may
see
that
this
Religion
is
in
all
things
agreeable
with
the
Scriptures
,
both
in
what
they
do
,
and
in
what
they
suffer
:
so
that
this
is
given
forth
for
the
good
Information
of
the
Protector
,
and
all
Magistrates
,
that
they
may
hear
the
Tryal
of
all
things
,
and
may
not
falsly
conjecture
or
suppose
,
and
thereupon
give
Judgement
without
any
true
Knowledge
,
let
them
search
the
Scriptures
,
and
try
:
I
hope
the
worst
of
men
have
so
much
Conscience
,
that
they
will
stand
in
owe
of
the
Breach
of
their
own
Oaths
;
and
that
they
will
perform
unto
the
Lord
,
and
unto
all
men
,
what
they
have
firmly
(
and
not
compell'd
)
sworn
to
do
:
and
thus
it
may
be
hoped
the
w●…
Persecution
will
cease
,
which
is
lamentable
to
be
declar'd
,
how
the
People
of
the
Lord
have
suffer'd
in
many
things
,
even
them
whose
Religion
is
proved
to
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
who
practice
nothing
for
Religion
,
neither
hold
forth
any
thing
for
Doctrine
,
but
that
which
is
perfectly
agreeable
to
the
Scriptures
,
as
all
people
hereby
may
understand
;
which
Religion
the
Protector
hath
sworn
to
maintain
and
uphold
:
Then
who
shall
presume
to
persecute
the
People
whose
Practice
in
Religion
is
prov'd
to
be
the
very
same
which
his
Oath
extends
to
maintain
?
Surely
no
man
will
be
so
impudent
,
or
shew
such
Rebellion
to
Government
,
as
to
endeavour
to
break
down
and
destroy
that
People
,
whose
Religion
is
prov'd
to
be
justly
that
which
he
is
by
Oath
bound
to
maintain
:
Some
heretofore
,
before
this
Oath
was
taken
,
might
pl●…
Ignorance
,
and
say
,
They
knew
not
the
mind
of
the
Protector
;
but
now
his
mind
is
fully
discover'd
;
and
he
doth
not
only
allow
,
but
also
hath
solemnly
sworn
,
To
maintain
and
uphold
that
Christian
Religion
which
is
according
to
Scriptures
:
And
it
is
prov'd
what
People
it
is
,
whose
Religi●●
is
so
.
And
I
say
again
,
That
same
People
mention'd
,
do
practice
nothing
,
neither
hold
forth
any
thing
for
Doctrine
,
but
it
is
either
commanded
,
or
there
is
President
for
it
in
Scripture
,
or
agreeable
thereto
;
and
therefore
that
same
People
is
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
which
the
Protector
hath
bound
himself
to
maintain
by
Oath
,
in
the
Face
of
the
whole
Nations
;
so
that
none
of
the
Magistrates
now
can
plead
Ignorance
:
For
,
as
he
is
sworn
to
uphold
the
People
of
God
in
their
Religion
;
so
are
they
bound
to
be
true
to
him
and
the
Government
,
and
to
fulfil
the
good
Laws
,
and
his
Oaths
and
Enterprizes
:
so
that
I
say
again
,
It
may
be
hoped
,
for
the
time
to
come
,
for
Protection
,
and
to
be
maintain'd
,
and
no
longer
to
be
persecuted
and
destroy'd
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
as
formerly
they
have
been
,
if
men
regard
their
own
Oaths
,
or
there
be
any
Truth
or
Sincerity
in
the
Heart
of
man
.
And
I
say
,
by
this
very
Oath
mention'd
,
might
the
People
of
God
own
and
claim
Protection
and
Defence
in
their
Way
and
Practice
of
Religion
,
which
is
so
plainly
prov'd
to
be
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
though
none
of
them
desir'd
such
an
Oath
for
their
Protection
,
or
sought
after
it
;
yet
it
being
voluntarily
instituted
and
taken
,
why
may
not
they
own
the
extent
of
it
,
which
reacheth
to
them
more
then
to
any
besides
,
as
is
clearly
described
?
And
not
for
their
own
sakes
altogether
do
they
own
the
benefit
of
it
,
but
that
he
,
who
hath
taken
it
,
may
be
clear
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
in
performing
of
his
Oath
;
for
,
his
Felicity
,
and
the
Encrease
and
Continuance
of
good
Government
they
desire
,
as
much
as
their
own
Protection
:
And
they
would
not
have
any
man
so
wicked
,
or
the
cause
of
perpetual
Infamy
to
be
given
to
this
Nation
,
so
much
as
that
any
thing
should
be
destroyed
or
broken
down
,
which
is
sworn
to
be
upheld
and
maintain'd
in
the
Nation
,
lest
the
Heathen
Rulers
rise
up
in
Condemnation
against
the
Doers
thereof
.
These
,
with
many
other
Arguments
,
which
might
be
produc'd
,
press
many
to
endeavour
the
fulfilling
of
the
said
Oath
,
for
his
own
sake
,
who
hath
taken
it
.
And
that
first
of
all
,
By
that
Oath
the
People
of
God
may
own
Protection
in
this
Common-wealth
,
because
their
Religion
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
&c.
Secondly
,
That
some
People
might
also
own
Protection
in
this
Common-wealth
,
in
that
the
most
of
them
,
if
not
all
,
have
been
true
and
faithful
Subjects
of
this
Common-wealth
,
and
hazarded
Lives
and
Estates
for
the
Establishing
of
such
a
Government
,
wherein
the
People
of
God
might
have
full
Liberty
for
the
Exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
.
Again
,
They
may
own
Protection
in
this
Common-wealth
,
〈◊〉
being
at
this
day
a
Harmless
and
Innocent
People
,
not
being
offensive
to
any
man's
Person
or
Estate
,
or
in
any
other
thing
(
except
to
sin
and
wickedness
,
and
the
Workers
thereof
)
And
I
say
again
,
That
they
do
not
desire
any
thing
but
the
Wellfare
,
and
the
Encrease
,
and
the
Establishment
of
this
present
Government
,
wherein
it
is
according
to
God
.
And
this
is
written
for
the
Information
of
all
sorts
of
People
,
that
they
may
know
unto
what
sort
of
people
the
Protector
's
Oath
extends
to
uphold
and
maintain
;
and
concerning
all
those
whose
practice
in
Religion
and
Doctrines
are
not
according
to
Scripture
,
but
contrary
to
it
,
as
is
manifest
,
and
so
not
to
be
maintained
and
upholden
in
their
Profession
and
Practice
of
Religion
by
the
Protectors
Oath
;
yet
it
is
not
desired
,
that
such
should
be
destroyed
,
or
overthrown
,
or
bound
,
or
imprisoned
,
or
any
cruelty
done
to
them
,
though
their
practice
be
not
according
to
Scripture
;
but
it
s
desired
,
that
such
may
live
in
peace
in
the
Common-wealth
,
enjoying
their
Religion
to
themselves
,
without
any
molestation
from
any
outward
Law
,
or
outward
Power
;
for
many
would
not
that
any
should
be
compelled
to
,
or
from
any
Exercise
in
Religion
by
an
outward
Law
,
but
let
them
defend
themselves
in
their
Religion
,
from
those
who
may
be
moved
of
the
Lord
to
reprove
them
,
or
declare
against
them
,
or
convince
them
;
so
that
many
would
have
Religion
to
defend
it self
,
and
that
the
Magistrates
,
with
their
Laws
,
may
preserve
the
Peace
in
the
Common-wealth
,
and
men's
Persons
and
Estates
,
and
not
their
Opinions
and
Judgements
:
And
we
would
they
may
not
limit
or
stint
tender
Consciences
;
for
many
may
be
of
a
tender
Conscience
in
those
things
wherein
their
Consciences
are
not
truly
inform'd
;
and
such
should
not
be
condemned
to
Death
,
but
to
be
won
by
sound
Doctrine
,
and
instructed
by
those
who
are
called
of
God
.
And
so
this
is
written
that
the
whole
Nation
may
understand
the
Mind
of
the
Lord's
Servants
in
all
these
things
.
And
let
no
man
blame
me
;
for
I
have
but
with
an
equal
Hand
,
brought
all
sorts
of
people
to
the
Line
of
true
Judgment
,
that
they
may
know
who
is
to
be
maintain'd
(
and
who
is
not
)
in
their
Religion
,
and
Practices
thereof
.
But
if
,
after
all
this
,
the
People
of
God
be
persecuted
,
and
Violence
be
done
unto
them
,
and
Injustice
and
Unrighteousness
acted
upon
them
in
this
Common-Wealth
,
as
of
late
Years
hath
been
,
and
yet
it
be
suffer'd
to
be
,
and
none
take
any
Notice
to
preserve
and
defend
them
,
whose
Religion
is
according
to
Scripture
,
which
he
is
sworn
to
maintain
;
then
I
leave
it
to
the
Light
in
all
men's
Consciences
to
judge
what
a
condition
such
are
in
,
whose
Oath
is
not
kept
,
but
broken
;
for
these
things
are
of
no
less
value
,
then
either
breaking
or
keeping
a
man's
own
Oath
,
which
solemnly
hath
been
taken
:
And
this
is
not
a
light
thing
,
but
to
be
seriously
consider'd
of
,
both
by
Magistrates
,
Teachers
and
People
in
this
Common-wealth
.
Yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
the
People
of
God
do
not
boast
in
,
or
trust
unto
the
Arm
of
Flesh
,
neither
are
any
whit
the
more
confident
in
their
Way
,
though
it
be
proved
,
That
they
ought
in
Iustice
to
be
upholden
and
maintained
in
what
they
profess
and
practice
,
as
aforesaid
;
for
their
Hope
and
Confidence
is
only
in
God
,
who
only
is
sufficient
to
protect
and
uphold
his
People
in
all
their
Wayes
and
Exercises
;
and
though
all
men
do
forget
their
own
Promises
and
Oaths
,
yet
will
not
the
Lord
forget
his
chosen
People
,
to
defend
them
from
all
their
Enemies
,
who
hath
again
appear'd
to
gather
his
People
,
after
the
long
and
dark
Night
of
Apostacy
;
and
his
House
and
Tabernacle
shall
be
exalted
over
all
the
Earth
.
An
Objection
,
Now
many
may
say
,
Seeing
I
challenge
,
claim
and
affirm
,
That
this
Religion
is
the
true
Religion
,
which
is
according
to
Scripture
(
then
they
ask
,
and
say
)
Hath
there
been
no
true
Religion
before
this
?
or
have
all
these
Religions
been
false
before
?
And
seeing
this
hath
but
newly
appear'd
in
the
World
,
was
there
no
true
Religion
before
?
And
if
there
were
any
,
where
was
it
?
And
what
was
that
Religion
,
seeing
there
hath
not
been
for
many
Ages
such
a
Religion
as
this
is
?
And
after
this
manner
do
many
reason
and
object
to
themselves
,
and
raise
to
themselves
Stumblings
;
and
conceit
themselves
,
That
our
Fore-fathers
were
of
a
Good
Way
,
and
many
of
them
sure
were
saved
,
which
were
not
of
this
Religion
,
which
did
not
profess
and
practice
these
things
which
is
professed
and
practised
by
this
people
.
Answ.
Now
unto
all
these
I
do
answer
and
say
,
That
this
Religion
is
the
true
Religion
which
is
according
to
Scripture
,
as
is
proved
already
,
seeing
they
profess
and
practice
nothing
for
Religion
,
but
what
the
Scriptures
do
justifie
,
and
shew
the
very
Example
of
the
same
things
;
but
that
God
had
a
People
in
all
Ages
,
and
a
Seed
that
never
bowed
to
Baal
its
believed
,
and
such
as
did
sincerely
seek
after
God
,
according
to
what
they
knew
,
and
they
were
accepted
of
God
according
to
what
was
made
manifest
in
that
Age
and
Generation
;
yet
the
Testimony
of
Truth
it self
,
and
the
Way
of
the
Lord
it self
,
for
many
Generations
hath
not
so
clearly
and
purely
been
held
forth
,
as
it
is
now
in
this
Age
and
Generation
;
for
now
the
true
Light
hath
shined
,
and
the
Way
of
Salvation
is
evidently
made
manifest
,
as
by
many
Witnesses
,
and
evident
Tokens
which
may
be
given
,
and
was
not
so
clearly
for
many
Ages
past
,
held
forth
and
known
:
and
such
who
have
been
sincerely
seeking
after
God
,
though
they
knew
not
perfectly
the
way
unto
him
,
neither
had
they
such
a
pure
Testimony
revealed
to
guide
them
,
as
now
is
manifest
,
yet
such
do
now
rejoyce
,
and
own
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Seed
of
God
is
refreshed
in
them
,
and
all
causes
of
stumbling
removed
,
and
the
pure
Light
of
the
Gospel
is
sprung
forth
more
clear
in
this
Age
,
then
in
any
Age
,
for
many
Generations
;
for
the
Scripture
sheweth
,
that
a
dark
night
of
Apostacy
hath
been
over
the
whole
World
,
and
the
Beast
hath
reigned
,
and
the
false
Prophet
hath
deceived
many
Nations
;
and
the
whole
World
hath
wondered
after
the
Beast
for
many
Ages
;
and
the
Beast
hath
made
war
with
the
Saints
,
and
hath
had
power
to
kill
them
,
and
hath
put
a
stop
many
times
to
the
Appearances
of
God
,
till
now
at
length
he
doth
appear
,
and
the
power
of
Hell
and
Death
shall
not
stop
it
,
and
they
do
say
,
that
they
are
come
out
of
the
Apostacy
,
to
the
dawning
of
the
Day
again
,
and
the
same
Power
of
God
,
and
the
same
Truth
that
was
in
the
Apostles
days
,
and
the
same
Ministry
by
the
Gift
of
the
same
holy
Ghost
,
as
was
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
is
now
witnessed
;
and
at
the
time
of
ignorance
God
winked
,
but
now
the
eye
is
opened
,
and
all
is
called
to
repentance
;
so
it
will
not
excuse
any
man
to
plead
how
it
was
with
our
Fore-fathers
,
or
to
say
,
Where
was
this
Religion
before
these
few
years
,
and
such
like
?
for
now
the
Power
of
God
it self
is
made
manifest
,
which
brings
into
the
true
Religion
,
and
all
that
are
of
God
hear
it
,
and
shall
own
it
,
and
shall
receive
the
Testimony
which
is
given
:
It
s
known
that
there
are
many
thousands
which
have
not
yet
owned
it
,
in
which
there
are
true
thirstings
after
God
,
and
a
zeal
for
him
;
and
such
are
not
condemned
to
be
altogether
out
of
Religion
,
for
such
seek
his
Face
,
and
the
Day
is
neither
clear
nor
dark
to
them
,
in
which
they
are
;
and
such
shall
own
and
submit
to
the
Government
of
Christ
;
and
they
that
are
not
under
the
Government
,
are
not
of
the
true
Religion
,
as
I
said
;
This
is
the
time
of
Restauration
,
and
the
Lord
is
bringing
back
again
,
and
a
thorow
Reformation
will
the
Lord
work
in
the
Earth
,
such
as
hath
not
been
known
in
Ages
past
.
There
hath
been
a
Seed
sown
,
which
the
Devil
hath
catched
away
;
but
now
the
Seed
shall
grow
,
and
become
the
greatest
of
all
Herbs
,
and
the
Fowls
of
Heaven
shall
lodge
in
the
Branches
.
And
this
is
a
plain
Answer
to
all
sober
people
;
for
according
to
the
Scriptures
in
the
times
of
the
Apostles
,
the
Day
of
glorious
Light
is
sprung
forth
,
and
mighty
was
the
Power
of
God
at
that
Day
;
but
since
hath
Darkness
overshadowed
all
,
and
Antichrist
hath
reigned
,
and
the
whole
World
hath
been
made
drunk
with
the
Wine
of
Fornication
,
which
hath
been
in
the
hand
of
the
Whore
,
who
hath
sat
upon
the
Beast
,
and
upon
Nations
and
Peoples
;
and
the
Gentiles
have
trodden
under
foot
the
holy
City
of
God
for
forty
and
two
Moneths
;
but
now
is
the
time
of
Restauration
,
as
hath
been
promised
,
That
the
Lord
is
bringing
back
his
People
again
;
and
the
Tabernacle
of
God
shall
be
with
men
;
and
Christ
alone
must
reign
and
rule
,
and
his
Kingdom
set
up
ever
the
whole
World
.
And
let
no
man
be
offended
at
what
I
have
done
;
for
I
have
not
reflected
upon
any
mans
person
,
but
on
what
he
practiseth
for
Religion
.

A
MESSAGE
FOR
INSTRUCTION
,
TO
All
the
Rulers
,
Judges
and
Magistrates
,
to
whom
the
Law
is
Committed
:
Shewing
what
Just
Government
is
,
and
how
far
the
Magistrate's
Power
reacheth
,
and
what
the
Sword
of
Justice
is
to
cut
down
,
and
what
it
is
to
defend
.
Whereby
they
may
learn
,
and
be
directed
to
discern
betwixt
the
Guiltless
,
and
the
Guilty
;
and
betwixt
a
Matter
of
Wilful
Wrong
by
Evil-Doers
,
which
they
are
to
Punish
,
and
a
Matter
of
Conscience
,
by
men
that
fear
God
,
which
they
are
to
be
a
Praise
unto
,
and
not
a
Terror
;
and
in
particular
,
divers
Causes
are
discover'd
,
which
are
prov'd
to
be
Matters
of
Conscience
,
and
not
of
Wilful
Wrong
;
though
many
therefore
are
unjustly
persecuted
and
afflicted
as
Evil-Doers
.
With
an
Exposition
of
some
parts
of
the
Law
;
for
the
Edification
of
such
,
as
desire
to
judge
Righteously
between
Man
and
Man
,
who
would
discern
of
different
Causes
;
and
Iustifie
the
Righteous
,
and
Condemn
the
Evil-Doer
.
Concerning
Government
and
Magistracy
,
this
I
have
to
say
:
IT
is
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
ordain'd
of
him
for
the
preserving
of
Peace
among
men
;
for
the
punishing
and
suppressing
of
Evil-doers
,
and
for
the
Praise
of
them
that
do
Well
;
that
men's
Persons
and
Estates
may
be
preserv'd
from
the
Violence
and
Wrong-dealing
of
evil
men
:
And
for
this
End
Government
was
ordain'd
of
God
,
to
be
set
up
in
the
Earth
,
by
the
Institution
of
the
Lord
;
that
Righteousness
should
go
free
,
and
the
Wicked
be
bound
and
limited
.
Now
such
as
handle
the
Law
,
and
are
Executors
thereof
,
who
are
ordain'd
of
God
to
judge
and
govern
the
People
,
ought
to
be
Just
Men
,
fearing
God
,
and
walking
in
his
Law
,
and
hating
and
denying
every
false
way
;
that
people
may
receive
Examples
of
Righteousness
,
and
holy
and
lawful
walking
from
their
Conversations
.
And
they
that
are
set
to
govern
the
people
,
ought
to
have
the
Spirit
of
true
and
sound
Judgment
,
to
try
into
the
Root
of
all
Causes
,
whereby
they
may
be
able
to
discern
of
different
Causes
,
and
to
give
just
Judgment
in
all
things
;
and
such
will
judge
by
equal
Measure
for
God
,
and
not
for
man
,
but
without
respect
of
Persons
;
and
such
will
be
a
Terror
to
Transgressors
,
and
will
strengthen
and
encourage
them
that
do
well
;
and
then
the
Execution
of
the
Law
will
answer
the
End
wherefore
it
was
added
;
for
,
because
of
Transgression
was
the
Law
added
to
slay
the
Transgression
,
and
to
bind
under
the
Trangressor
,
and
to
make
him
stand
in
awe
,
and
be
afraid
;
for
the
just
Law
reacheth
to
the
just
Witness
of
God
,
and
answereth
it
in
every
man
;
and
he
that
walks
in
the
Law
of
God
,
and
hath
his
Heart
therein
exercis'd
,
the
Law
of
Man
hath
no
power
over
him
,
to
condemn
him
;
but
it
justifies
him
,
and
defends
and
preserves
him
from
all
Wrong
:
but
who
doth
not
walk
in
the
Law
of
God
,
but
is
exercis'd
in
Evil
,
and
transgresseth
the
Light
and
pure
Law
of
God
in
his
Conscience
,
by
doing
Evil
,
and
by
wrong
and
unjust
Dealing
;
then
the
Law
of
man
takes
hold
upon
him
,
and
binds
him
,
and
judges
him
,
and
condemns
him
for
the
Evil
done
by
him
,
contrary
to
the
Light
in
his
own
Conscience
,
which
answereth
to
the
just
execution
of
the
Law
in
condemning
of
him
:
And
this
is
the
Work
of
the
Law
in
the
hand
of
faithful
Executors
,
who
justly
executeth
the
just
Law
,
in
defending
and
preserving
the
Iust
and
Innocent
Men
from
Wrong-doing
,
and
in
condemning
and
judging
the
Ungodly
and
Evil
Men
for
Wrong-doing
;
whereby
the
Witness
of
God
in
them
both
may
answer
to
the
just
Government
,
in
defending
the
one
,
and
in
condemning
the
other
:
and
this
is
a
good
savour
to
God
,
where
the
Iust
Laws
are
justly
executed
by
just
men
:
But
where
Unrighteous
Men
are
in
power
,
and
the
Execution
of
the
Law
in
their
hands
,
that
are
themselves
Transgressors
,
such
will
not
judge
for
God
,
but
the
good
Laws
will
be
subverted
unto
wrong
ends
,
from
their
proper
vertue
,
and
the
hands
of
the
Wicked
will
be
strengthen'd
,
and
the
Evil-doers
will
escape
unpunish'd
,
and
the
Innocent
will
suffer
,
and
Justice
and
true
Judgment
will
be
turn'd
backward
;
for
when
the
Wicked
bear
rule
the
People
cannot
rejoyce
,
nor
Justice
and
true
Judgment
cannot
be
receiv'd
from
men
,
who
are
themselves
unjust
and
unrighteous
;
for
,
though
the
Laws
may
be
good
and
just
,
yet
the
Executioners
thereof
being
Evil
,
and
themselves
Transgressors
,
worthy
of
Condemnation
by
the
Law
:
The
Transgression
of
the
Law
in
others
cannot
justly
be
judged
by
such
,
who
are
themselves
guilty
of
Judgment
;
and
therefore
the
Laws
will
be
subverted
,
and
Justice
and
true
Judgment
neglected
;
because
such
as
handle
the
Law
know
not
God
,
but
are
in
the
Transgression
of
the
Righteous
Law
,
and
of
the
Judgment
thereof
are
themselves
guilty
.
So
therefore
they
that
handle
the
Law
should
be
men
justified
by
the
Law
,
and
free
from
the
Transgression
;
that
they
may
the
more
justly
punish
,
reprove
and
condemn
it
in
others
;
and
may
minister
Justice
and
true
Judgment
through
the
Law
to
all
people
under
them
.
And
no
man
ought
to
be
respected
in
Judgment
,
but
every
man's
Cause
ought
to
be
heard
,
the
Poor
as
well
as
the
Rich
,
and
their
Matters
diligently
sought
into
:
And
all
ought
to
receive
just
Judgment
from
Just
men
by
the
just
Law
;
for
the
Law
is
a
defence
about
all
the
Righteous
,
to
defend
and
preserve
them
;
in
Peace
and
Freedom
,
from
all
their
Enemies
,
who
are
to
be
limitted
by
the
Law
,
as
I
have
said
:
And
they
that
are
reconciled
to
God
,
whose
consciences
are
exercised
towards
God
in
all
things
,
they
are
not
under
the
Law
,
nor
the
Law
hath
no
power
over
them
;
for
the
Law
is
fulfilled
in
them
by
Christ
,
who
teacheth
them
in
all
things
to
walk
without
offence
towards
God
and
all
Men
,
in
Truth
and
in
Righteousness
to
God
,
and
all
Men
;
and
such
the
Law
of
Man
is
to
defend
,
and
not
to
judge
them
;
to
justifie
them
,
and
not
to
condemn
them
;
and
to
be
a
praise
to
them
,
and
not
a
terror
;
and
such
set
to
seal
,
that
the
Law
is
just
,
and
good
and
holy
;
who
walk
in
Justness
,
in
Goodness
and
Holiness
,
and
doth
not
transgress
the
good
Laws
of
any
Nation
,
but
walk
void
of
offence
towards
all
;
for
they
walk
not
in
the
Flesh
,
but
in
the
Spirit
,
and
are
Doers
of
the
Law
,
and
not
Breakers
of
it
;
and
so
come
not
under
the
guilt
of
condemnation
,
in
any
thing
,
but
are
justified
in
all
things
;
for
the
Light
of
Christ
leadeth
them
into
all
Truth
;
and
so
out
of
all
Condemnation
;
their
Wayes
are
righteous
and
pure
,
and
their
Works
are
just
and
equal
towards
God
and
all
Men
;
and
they
seek
not
the
wrong
of
any
mans
Person
or
Estate
,
but
seeks
the
Good
of
all
,
forgiving
their
Enemies
,
and
praying
for
them
,
and
seek
not
Vengeance
upon
their
Adversaries
,
but
they
bear
all
things
patiently
;
and
such
are
the
Servants
of
God
,
and
not
Transgressors
of
his
Law
,
nor
the
just
Laws
of
Man
;
and
if
such
do
suffer
by
a
Law
,
that
Law
is
unjust
,
and
so
is
that
Magistrate
that
executes
that
Law
;
and
that
suffering
is
not
for
evil-doing
,
but
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
;
and
the
Innocent
can
rejoyce
in
such
suffering
,
but
the
Executioners
thereof
shall
howl
and
weep
:
So
that
in
all
Ages
there
was
such
suffering
,
which
was
not
for
evil-doing
,
but
for
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
;
and
such
Sufferings
there
are
at
this
day
:
and
this
is
because
the
Unrighteous
and
the
Unjust
bear
rule
,
which
subverts
the
Law
,
and
turns
true
Judgment
backward
,
and
oppresseth
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
rules
over
it
in
Tyrany
;
and
this
is
where
Darkness
rules
in
the
Heart
,
and
Ignorance
in
the
Mind
;
and
true
Judgement
is
wanting
,
for
Light
is
called
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
Light
,
and
Good
is
put
for
Evil
,
and
Evil
for
Good
;
and
Truth
is
called
Heresie
,
and
Error
is
called
Truth
;
and
because
of
this
the
Righteous
are
judged
unjustly
,
and
falsly
condemned
,
and
the
Guilty
are
set
free
;
and
thus
is
Judgment
turned
quite
backward
;
where
the
Seed
of
Enmity
ruleth
above
the
Seed
of
God
;
and
such
a
Government
is
not
blessed
,
but
made
a
Curse
unto
that
Dominion
,
where
it
is
seated
,
and
this
is
because
such
are
set
to
rule
and
govern
,
who
are
not
ruled
and
governed
by
the
Lord
,
but
are
in
the
transgression
of
the
Just
and
Righteous
Law
;
and
are
Unjust
Men
,
and
not
reconciled
to
God
,
upon
whose
shoulders
the
Government
lies
,
and
the
execution
of
the
Law
in
their
power
,
who
cannot
minister
true
Judgment
,
nor
discern
of
different
Causes
amongst
Men.
And
therefore
all
Magistrates
are
to
weigh
,
and
be
considerate
in
all
these
things
,
and
so
to
act
and
judge
among
men
,
as
they
may
give
a
good
Account
unto
God
,
and
all
men
;
and
when
a
Cause
is
brought
before
them
to
give
Judgment
of
,
or
any
accus'd
unto
them
,
that
they
should
execute
the
Law
upon
,
they
should
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
first
try
into
the
Ground
and
Nature
of
such
matters
,
to
know
whether
it
be
a
wilful
and
supposed
Wrong
or
Injury
done
between
man
and
man
,
or
it
be
of
Ignorance
,
or
want
of
better
Knowledge
,
or
such
like
;
or
whether
it
be
a
Matter
of
Conscience
,
or
about
Religion
,
or
the
Worship
of
God
,
whereupon
the
Controversie
dependeth
:
and
if
it
be
a
matter
of
wilful
and
purposed
Wrong
,
or
of
Ignorance
,
then
good
Reason
and
Iustice
will
teach
a
Magistrate
to
defend
the
Innocent
from
Wrong
,
or
to
restore
his
Wrong
by
true
Judgment
,
that
his
Person
and
Estate
be
freed
and
preserv'd
from
all
Wrong
;
and
that
the
Wrong-dealer
be
restrain'd
,
and
punish'd
,
and
judg'd
justly
according
to
his
Offences
:
but
if
it
be
a
matter
of
Conscience
about
Religion
,
or
the
Worship
of
God
,
then
the
Magistrates
,
with
their
Law
,
ought
not
to
meddle
therein
,
or
to
judge
of
such
Matters
;
for
these
things
,
concerning
the
things
that
are
Spiritual
,
are
out
of
their
Jurisdiction
,
and
not
in
their
power
to
judge
of
:
And
if
the
Controversie
between
man
and
man
depend
about
such
Causes
,
not
having
reflection
upon
Persons
or
Estates
,
but
only
about
Spiritual
Matters
,
then
Magistrates
with
their
Laws
ought
not
to
judge
in
these
Causes
;
but
Spiritual
Men
ought
only
to
give
their
Judgments
hereof
,
as
they
have
receiv'd
from
God
:
And
though
men
be
in
controversie
about
Religion
and
the
Worship
of
God
,
yet
if
they
be
men
of
Peace
,
not
wronging
one
another
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
they
ought
to
be
both
protected
in
a
good
Government
by
the
just
and
righteous
Laws
.
And
here
the
Sword
of
Justice
is
laid
only
upon
the
Evil-doer
,
to
be
a
Terror
and
a
Punishment
to
him
,
and
to
limit
and
restrain
him
from
Wrong-dealing
;
and
this
is
the
End
wherefore
it
was
ordain'd
of
God
to
be
among
men
,
and
not
to
be
laid
upon
the
Conscience
,
to
oppress
and
afflict
the
tender
Consciences
of
the
Upright
,
whose
Minds
are
exercis'd
in
the
Law
of
God
;
for
such
should
have
Praise
,
that
do
well
,
by
the
Sword
of
Justice
,
while
it
is
a
Terror
to
all
Evil-doers
whatsoever
:
and
this
is
the
perfect
End
wherefore
the
Law
was
added
;
and
the
practice
of
it
herein
by
faithful
and
just
Executors
,
is
Well-pleasing
and
Acceptable
to
the
Lord
.
And
now
as
concerning
this
one
thing
,
which
is
,
Oppression
in
the
Nation
,
brought
forth
through
the
unjust
and
false
Execution
of
the
Laws
,
whereby
many
tender
Consciences
are
afflicted
,
and
not
for
any
Wrong
or
Evil-doing
,
but
for
the
Exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
.
Whereas
many
for
a
pure
Conscience
sake
do
deny
and
cannot
pay
any
thing
to
maintain
a
Steeple-House
,
or
Place
of
Worship
,
which
the
people
of
the
World
do
worship
in
,
and
where
they
commit
Idolatry
;
neither
can
they
,
for
Conscience
sake
,
pay
any
thing
to
uphold
such
Worship
,
and
such
a
Ministry
and
Ministers
,
which
are
not
of
Christ
,
nor
ever
were
sent
of
him
,
but
of
Antichrist
,
and
such
by
which
the
people
are
led
in
Blindness
and
Error
,
as
manifestly
doth
appear
through
the
whole
Land
:
And
yet
the
Magistrates
,
some
of
them
being
as
blind
and
ignorant
as
the
people
,
do
compel
many
people
by
their
Writs
,
and
Orders
and
Judgments
,
to
maintain
a
Priest
and
Steeple-house
,
which
for
Conscience
sake
they
deny
to
maintain
;
and
yet
by
Authority
from
the
Magistrates
are
the
innocent
Men's
Goods
spoyl'd
by
Distress
,
and
great
Oppression
Exercis'd
upon
many
poor
People
,
to
maintain
and
uphold
the
Ministry
and
Worship
of
this
Generation
,
which
is
not
of
God
,
but
against
him
;
and
many
hereupon
are
cast
into
Prison
,
and
others
have
their
Goods
taken
from
them
by
Violence
,
and
great
Havock
is
made
in
the
Countries
about
this
matter
.
Now
first
it
may
be
consider'd
,
That
to
deny
to
uphold
and
maintain
a
Steeple-house
,
and
Place
where
ignorant
people
in
Tradition
do
meet
to
Worship
,
is
not
a
matter
of
wilful
and
purpos'd
Wrong-dealing
,
or
the
breach
of
any
Bargan
or
Contract
between
man
and
man
;
but
it
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
to
the
People
of
God
:
and
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
do
such
a
thing
,
as
to
maintain
a
place
of
Worship
,
which
Abomination
is
committed
in
by
ignorant
and
rude
people
,
who
are
without
the
Fear
of
God
,
as
daily
is
manifest
;
and
it
is
not
manifest
,
that
by
denying
of
this
they
injure
any
man's
Person
or
Estate
in
any
thing
which
belongs
unto
him
by
lawful
Bargan
and
Contract
,
or
otherwise
:
Neither
is
there
any
Reason
or
Equity
in
this
matter
,
That
any
should
be
forc'd
and
compell'd
by
Injustice
and
Oppression
,
to
uphold
a
house
of
worship
,
which
others
worship
in
,
and
not
they
;
and
they
knowing
that
worship
to
be
Abomination
to
the
Lord
also
,
and
not
the
True
Worship
of
the
True
God
;
and
there
is
no
Justice
nor
Religion
in
it
,
that
any
should
be
caused
by
force
to
uphold
a
House
,
for
other
people
to
commit
and
practice
Idolatry
in
;
if
the
house
were
for
any
good
purpose
,
or
honest
practice
,
as
for
poor
or
impotent
people
to
dwell
in
,
or
such
like
,
who
had
not
Houses
of
their
own
,
because
of
their
poverty
;
then
that
were
a
deed
of
charity
to
uphold
it
,
and
the
people
of
God
would
not
deny
it
,
but
could
freely
give
their
money
to
such
a
use
or
end
;
but
because
it
is
not
to
such
a
use
,
but
only
a
place
to
commit
Idolatry
in
,
and
to
worship
God
ignorantly
in
superstitions
;
therefore
it
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
unto
many
;
and
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
,
they
rather
suffer
the
spoiling
of
their
Goods
,
and
affliction
upon
their
Bodies
,
then
to
pay
their
Money
for
such
a
use
or
end
;
and
herein
the
Magistrates
do
great
injustice
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
his
Saints
,
and
contrary
to
Reason
,
and
a
good
Conscience
,
in
causing
innocent
mens
Goods
to
be
spoiled
by
cruelty
,
to
uphold
a
place
of
idolatrous
worship
,
contrary
to
mens
tender
Consciences
:
for
as
I
have
said
,
they
do
no
wrong
to
any
man
,
but
only
peoples
wills
are
offended
,
and
their
blind
zeal
turned
into
rage
and
fury
against
the
Just
,
who
worship
God
in
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
cannot
uphold
the
Houses
of
false
worship
;
and
it
is
a
shame
unto
the
people
,
and
Ministers
themselves
,
who
cannot
uphold
their
own
worshipping
Houses
;
and
it
is
a
reproach
upon
their
God
,
and
their
Religion
,
who
cause
others
to
maintain
their
worshipping
Houses
,
by
injustice
and
great
oppression
,
and
will
not
themselves
maintain
their
Houses
where
they
worship
their
God
;
but
people
who
fear
God
are
greatly
oppressed
divers
wayes
to
uphold
worshipping
Places
for
others
to
worship
in
,
as
in
many
parts
of
this
Nation
,
is
wofull
testimony
,
which
is
a
shame
to
the
Magistrates
,
by
whose
Authority
these
things
are
done
,
and
a
great
reproach
to
the
very
name
of
Christianity
,
that
people
,
against
a
pure
Conscience
,
and
contrary
to
good
Reason
,
should
be
compelled
to
uphold
and
maintain
a
Worship
and
Ministry
which
they
do
not
partake
of
,
but
their
very
Enemies
that
persecute
them
,
whose
Consciences
are
defiled
,
and
not
exercised
:
And
their
Worship
and
Ministry
,
which
stands
not
in
the
Exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
,
but
in
vain
Traditions
,
and
superstitious
Idolatry
,
are
the
People
of
God
forc'd
to
maintain
with
Maintenance
,
by
Oppression
,
contrary
to
their
Consciences
:
And
the
unjustness
of
these
things
cries
for
Vengeance
upon
the
Ungodly
Rulers
and
People
,
who
cause
the
Just
and
Upright
to
groan
by
Oppression
;
and
thus
the
Law
is
subverted
,
contrary
to
that
End
wherefore
it
was
added
;
and
the
Government
is
abused
,
contrary
to
that
purpose
wherefore
it
was
ordain'd
of
God
:
For
the
Guiltless
are
condemned
and
judged
,
and
the
Guilty
are
set
free
;
the
Exercise
of
pure
Consciences
are
oppressed
,
and
the
false
Abominations
and
Idol
Worships
are
strengthned
and
defended
:
and
because
of
these
thing
is
the
Wrath
of
God
kindled
,
and
shall
not
be
quench'd
,
till
it
hath
consumed
the
Wicked
from
off
the
Face
of
the
Earth
;
that
the
just
God
may
be
feared
,
and
his
People
enjoy
their
Freedom
and
liberty
in
the
Practice
of
the
the
pure
Religion
,
and
the
Exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
;
and
this
will
the
Lord
bring
forth
in
his
appointed
Time
,
according
to
his
Promise
,
that
his
People
may
rejoyce
in
him
over
all
their
Oppressors
and
Cruel
Task-Masters
,
which
do
unjustly
oppress
the
Seed
of
God
.
And
as
concerning
the
maintaining
of
Ministers
,
it
is
the
same
in
nature
,
and
as
Unjust
and
Unequal
,
as
upholding
of
Worshipping-houses
;
for
though
many
,
out
of
a
good
Conscience
,
do
deny
to
maintain
a
professed
Minister
,
by
paying
to
him
so
much
,
or
such
a
Sum
;
yet
they
do
not
hereby
wrong
him
wilfully
,
contrary
to
Right
,
in
breaking
any
Contract
or
Covenant
,
formerly
made
with
him
by
themselves
,
or
Predecessors
;
nor
they
do
not
with-hold
from
him
any
thing
,
which
properly
belongs
to
him
as
Debt
,
or
due
for
his
Labour
,
by
any
Covenant
binding
thereunto
:
Only
the
most
that
can
be
said
is
,
That
such
a
Sum
or
Gift
was
formerly
given
out
of
that
Estate
to
a
man
belonging
to
such
a
Parish
,
and
therefore
now
is
claim'd
as
due
by
Custom
of
many
Generations
practice
,
and
so
ought
to
be
done
,
as
the
Maintenance
to
that
man
because
of
his
Labour
in
his
Ministry
.
Now
to
this
I
answer
,
What
though
it
was
formerly
done
,
such
a
Sum
paid
,
and
such
a
Gift
freely
given
by
our
Ancestors
,
in
the
time
of
Ignorance
and
Darkness
;
that
Practice
of
theirs
then
doth
not
bind
any
now
to
do
the
same
,
seeing
no
Record
can
appear
,
That
they
bound
themselves
and
their
Heirs
for
ever
so
to
do
;
and
now
hath
the
clear
Light
of
the
Gospel
sprung
forth
,
and
the
light
of
the
day
hath
discovered
all
the
works
of
Ignorance
;
and
though
the
man
that
claims
such
a
Gift
,
or
Hire
,
as
debt
to
him
,
because
of
his
labour
,
let
them
pay
him
for
whom
he
doth
labour
,
and
who
do
partake
of
his
Ministry
and
Labour
;
and
let
others
be
free
,
who
for
Conscience
sake
cannot
do
it
,
who
know
his
labour
not
deserving
of
wages
,
but
to
be
Deceit
and
Abomination
,
and
deceiving
of
Souls
;
and
sees
him
to
be
a
proud
,
covetous
man
,
and
an
idle
person
,
who
maintains
himself
by
the
fruit
of
other
mens
labours
,
in
the
vanity
of
life
,
and
without
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
this
makes
the
thing
a
matter
of
Conscience
to
many
,
that
for
no
better
use
,
nor
to
no
other
end
they
should
pay
their
Money
(
which
cannot
be
justly
claimed
,
as
a
just
debt
,
but
as
a
gift
at
most
)
to
the
upholding
of
such
men
,
and
such
practises
,
which
are
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
God
,
in
labour
,
life
,
and
practice
;
and
to
uphold
and
maintain
a
man
as
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
which
is
not
so
,
but
the
contrary
,
as
by
his
fruits
is
made
manifest
,
and
that
in
Ministry
and
Worship
,
which
is
not
the
Worship
and
Ministry
of
the
true
God
,
but
the
contrary
,
as
doth
appear
;
this
many
of
the
people
of
God
cannot
do
,
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
,
except
they
should
transgress
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
the
Law
of
God
in
their
own
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
and
so
bring
themselves
into
condemnation
by
the
Lord
.
So
let
all
men
take
notice
hereof
,
that
though
the
People
of
God
do
deny
to
pay
any
thing
,
to
uphold
and
maintain
such
a
Worship
,
and
such
Ministers
,
which
are
not
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
nor
the
Worship
of
the
true
God
;
but
rather
gives
their
Goods
to
the
Spoiler
,
and
their
Bodies
to
the
Prison
;
yet
this
is
onely
for
the
Exercise
of
a
good
and
pure
Conscience
,
and
not
out
of
wilfull
wrong
or
injury
;
and
their
Sufferings
are
not
as
they
are
Evil-Doers
,
but
as
they
are
Saints
,
for
a
good
Conscence
sake
,
because
they
cannot
be
subject
to
the
wills
of
unjust
men
,
in
upholding
and
maintaining
such
things
against
their
Consciences
;
but
are
willing
rather
to
suffer
,
then
offend
the
Lord
,
and
their
own
Consciences
;
neither
is
there
good
Reason
nor
Equity
in
it
,
nor
any
part
of
a
good
Conscience
,
that
people
by
injustice
should
be
compelled
to
maintain
a
Minister
,
whom
they
know
is
not
the
Minister
of
Christ
,
by
his
fruits
,
and
effects
,
and
practises
;
and
so
are
forced
against
their
own
Conscience
to
uphold
a
man
in
Pride
,
in
Idleness
,
in
covetousness
,
and
in
a
vain
and
Evil
life
,
by
unrighteous
Wages
:
Now
if
their
Money
was
to
maintain
a
man
that
's
poor
,
or
if
that
man
had
not
of
his
own
sufficiently
to
preserve
his
Wife
and
Children
from
want
,
then
it
were
a
work
of
Charity
to
give
something
,
if
it
were
every
year
,
or
oftner
,
to
maintain
him
and
his
Family
;
and
the
People
of
God
would
not
refuse
to
give
something
for
this
end
;
no
man
should
compel
them
,
nor
have
cause
to
spoil
their
Goods
for
it
;
but
as
he
professeth
himself
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
and
a
Labourer
in
the
Gospel
,
but
is
not
so
,
but
lives
in
pride
,
and
the
vanities
of
this
World
;
upon
such
an
account
they
cannot
maintain
him
,
nor
give
him
any
thing
at
all
,
with
a
safe
Conscience
;
neither
is
there
any
reason
in
it
,
that
they
should
;
for
they
receive
not
his
Ministry
,
neither
do
hear
him
,
neither
do
own
him
as
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
nor
do
not
partake
of
his
Labours
,
nor
do
not
set
him
on
labouring
;
and
this
is
greatly
unjust
,
that
any
man
should
pay
,
or
be
compelled
to
pay
(
by
force
and
oppression
)
Wages
to
a
man
,
as
his
Labourer
,
and
as
his
Servant
,
who
doth
not
at
all
Labour
for
him
,
or
do
him
any
Service
,
neither
doth
the
man
partake
of
his
Works
or
Labours
,
neither
hath
any
benefit
thereby
,
but
rather
loss
and
disadvantage
because
of
his
labours
,
which
he
doth
for
others
,
and
not
for
him
,
nor
by
any
order
from
him
;
for
he
knows
his
Labour
to
be
nothing
but
Vanity
,
and
a
Cheat
,
and
deceiving
of
People
;
and
for
him
to
be
compelled
to
maintain
such
a
man
,
in
such
ill
imployment
against
his
Conscience
,
this
is
unjust
and
unreasonable
:
and
what
man
in
the
World
would
do
it
,
or
be
compelled
thereunto
,
without
crying
out
of
great
Oppression
;
as
to
maintain
a
Man
with
great
Wages
,
as
his
Labourer
,
and
Servant
who
doth
not
Labour
for
him
,
nor
serve
him
,
but
labours
against
him
as
much
as
is
possible
;
and
this
is
the
very
cause
,
between
the
Priests
of
England
in
their
Maintenance
,
in
claiming
of
it
,
and
receiving
of
it
,
and
the
people
of
the
Lord
,
who
do
deny
to
maintain
them
,
or
confess
any
lawfull
due
they
have
to
challenge
any
of
them
.
And
also
it
is
a
very
shame
to
the
people
of
this
Nation
for
whom
such
Ministers
do
labour
,
who
cannot
maintain
their
own
Ministers
themselves
,
who
labours
for
them
,
and
of
whose
labours
they
do
partake
,
but
others
are
compelled
by
injustice
,
to
maintain
them
,
who
do
not
partake
of
any
of
their
labours
,
nor
set
them
to
labour
,
but
denies
them
and
their
labour
on
that
account
,
and
yet
are
forced
to
pay
them
Wages
;
and
this
is
unjust
and
unreasonable
,
that
men
should
be
constrained
by
force
to
pay
,
other
mens
Servants
,
which
works
and
labours
for
other
,
and
not
for
them
;
and
what
man
in
the
World
having
reason
in
him
,
would
do
it
or
be
forced
to
do
it
,
without
complaining
of
heavy
injustice
,
as
to
maintain
another
mans
Servant
with
Wages
,
who
works
for
others
,
and
not
for
him
,
neither
was
hired
by
him
,
nor
set
on
work
,
nor
receives
any
benefit
by
him
,
but
another
hires
him
,
and
partakes
of
his
labours
,
and
yet
he
is
compelled
against
all
reason
,
and
equity
to
give
him
his
Wages
;
all
will
conclude
this
were
unjust
and
not
according
to
God
,
but
against
him
;
and
this
is
the
very
cause
between
the
people
of
God
,
who
cannot
pay
to
maintain
false
Teachers
and
the
people
of
the
Nation
,
who
hires
such
Teachers
and
receives
of
their
labours
and
teaching
and
yet
compells
others
to
give
them
Wages
,
contrary
to
good
reason
and
Justice
,
and
against
the
excercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
;
And
above
all
the
Magistrates
blindness
and
Ignorance
,
and
the
unjustness
and
wickedness
of
some
of
them
doth
appear
,
to
their
shame
,
by
whose
authority
these
things
are
done
,
reaching
out
their
power
in
those
things
,
further
than
they
have
received
power
from
God
,
and
abusing
the
Law
and
just
government
,
and
subverting
it
to
another
end
then
wherefore
God
hath
ordained
it
;
for
the
Magistrates
power
and
authority
,
is
not
to
be
laid
on
mens
Consciences
to
Oppress
and
Imbondage
the
tender
Consciences
of
the
Lords
people
;
in
forcing
things
to
be
done
contrary
to
good
reason
,
and
against
a
good
Conscience
;
and
by
these
things
is
the
Land
filled
with
violence
and
oppression
,
and
the
Innocent
and
Just
do
deeply
groan
;
till
the
Lord
arise
to
plead
their
cause
,
and
to
bring
deliverance
unto
them
,
through
the
destruction
of
all
their
Enemies
;
and
he
will
break
down
all
the
bonds
of
Cruelty
and
Oppression
,
and
will
take
away
every
yoak
that
doth
burden
and
oppress
the
upright
,
that
his
people
may
be
a
free
people
,
from
all
unjust
men
;
and
the
people
of
the
Lord
do
claim
this
as
their
Priviledge
,
belonging
to
them
by
the
just
Laws
of
God
and
men
,
to
Worship
God
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
and
to
uphold
and
maintain
that
Worship
onely
,
without
being
compelled
by
force
to
maintain
any
other
whatsoever
,
and
they
claim
as
right
unto
them
to
maintain
what
Ministers
,
and
uphold
what
ministry
,
as
they
know
is
sent
of
God
,
by
which
people
are
profited
,
and
which
they
have
received
the
knowledge
of
God
through
,
by
his
Spirit
,
and
to
be
free
to
maintain
how
,
and
as
the
Lord
leads
them
unto
,
without
being
forced
by
any
Law
,
or
unequall
authority
,
to
maintain
the
false
Prophets
and
Hirelings
,
and
Deceivers
,
who
live
in
pride
and
excess
,
through
the
Oppression
of
the
poor
and
Innocent
,
and
such
(
as
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
)
the
people
of
the
Lord
cannot
maintain
,
but
rather
give
themselves
to
suffer
heavy
and
cruel
things
by
unjust
and
wicked
men
,
who
violates
the
just
Laws
of
God
and
man
;
and
the
suffering
is
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
,
and
for
righteousness
sake
,
and
not
for
any
wrong
or
Evil-doing
,
and
for
a
Testimony
that
they
are
of
God
,
and
for
a
witness
against
their
Enemies
,
that
they
are
of
the
Devil
;
who
do
his
works
,
and
these
make
war
against
the
Saints
,
and
the
Lamb
,
and
the
Beast
seeks
to
kill
all
that
will
not
worship
him
;
for
he
hath
been
great
in
the
Earth
,
and
his
seat
upon
Nations
,
and
who
have
been
able
to
make
war
against
him
,
for
many
Generations
?
again
there
is
another
suffering
great
and
grievous
which
is
unjustly
laid
upon
the
people
of
God
,
which
suffering
is
not
for
Evil-doing
,
but
for
a
good
Conscience
sakes
as
is
manifest
;
as
because
many
are
moved
of
the
Lord
by
his
Spirit
,
to
go
into
the
Steeple-houses
,
and
Meeting-places
,
or
other
places
to
reprove
sin
,
and
among
people
,
or
to
exhort
them
unto
good
,
and
to
follow
Christ
,
and
to
deny
the
wickedness
of
this
World
,
or
such
like
,
as
they
are
moved
,
some
are
moved
to
reprove
a
Hireling
Teacher
,
who
deceives
the
people
,
and
walks
in
the
steps
of
the
false
Prophets
,
and
lives
in
Pride
and
Vainty
and
evil
,
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
and
Practise
of
Christ
and
the
Apostles
;
and
this
Practise
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
in
reproving
evil
,
and
exhorting
to
good
,
is
called
a
disturbance
of
the
Peace
,
and
an
unlawfull
Practice
,
and
such
like
,
it
is
falsly
judged
by
unjust
men
,
who
know
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
nor
the
moving
thereof
;
and
because
of
this
,
many
innocent
men
are
caused
deeply
to
suffer
,
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
;
and
some
are
sent
to
the
House
of
Correction
,
there
suffering
cruel
things
from
hard-hearted
men
;
and
some
are
put
in
the
Stocks
,
and
Whipped
,
and
others
Fined
,
and
cast
into
Prison
;
and
such
like
Sufferings
are
unjustly
imposed
upon
them
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
,
as
I
have
said
;
for
though
they
reprove
sin
in
Teachers
,
or
in
People
,
or
exhort
them
to
good
,
whether
in
Steeple-houses
,
Markets
,
or
other
Places
;
yet
they
do
not
hereby
wrong
any
mans
Person
or
Estate
;
neither
is
this
any
matter
of
wilfull
wrong
,
or
to
such
an
intent
,
neither
doth
it
disturb
the
Peace
,
nor
is
any
unlawfull
Practice
;
but
onely
out
of
a
good
Conscience
to
God
and
man
is
it
done
;
and
it
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
to
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
to
do
so
,
and
they
cannot
leave
it
undone
,
lest
they
would
transgress
the
Law
of
God
in
their
own
Consciences
;
because
they
are
commanded
of
God
so
to
do
,
that
people
may
be
instructed
in
the
right
way
to
God
,
and
be
converted
out
of
every
false
Way
;
and
this
is
the
very
end
of
their
work
,
and
their
intent
in
doing
it
;
and
they
ought
not
in
justice
to
suffer
for
it
,
for
it
is
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
in
Reason
and
a
good
Conscience
,
and
the
Lord
justifies
them
in
it
;
then
that
Law
and
Judgment
must
needs
be
corrupt
and
unjust
,
which
condemns
the
People
and
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
as
for
Evil-Doers
,
for
obeying
the
Commands
of
God
,
and
for
the
Exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
,
and
no
mans
Person
or
Estate
being
wronged
,
or
injured
,
but
onely
Sin
and
Wickedness
reproved
,
and
exhorted
from
:
and
hereby
thus
is
the
Law
perverted
,
and
true
Judgment
turned
backward
,
and
the
guiltless
is
condemned
guilty
,
and
the
guilty
is
set
free
;
and
the
obeying
the
Commands
of
God
,
and
the
Exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
is
unjustly
judged
a
Transgression
;
and
this
is
a
shame
,
and
will
be
great
condemnation
to
such
,
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
by
whose
Authority
this
is
done
;
even
that
the
Exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
,
even
reproving
of
sin
and
exhorting
unto
that
which
is
good
,
to
follow
that
,
and
to
forsake
all
evil
,
should
be
judged
and
punished
as
a
hainous
Transgression
in
a
Nation
and
Common-wealth
professing
Christianity
and
pure
Religion
;
and
this
makes
the
sin
much
more
great
and
unpardonable
,
because
the
practise
and
faithfull
excercise
in
Chistianity
,
and
in
the
pure
and
true
Religion
is
adjudged
Transgression
,
and
condemned
by
such
who
profess
the
same
thing
in
words
,
and
yet
persecute
,
and
punish
the
Exercise
of
it
in
others
;
and
this
shews
them
unjust
Judges
,
and
Hypocrites
,
who
cause
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
to
suffer
,
for
the
practice
of
that
which
themselves
profess
in
words
,
to
wit
,
Religion
and
Christianity
;
for
I
affirm
,
against
all
Opposers
whatsoever
,
that
it
is
a
Practice
in
Religion
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
to
go
into
the
Steeple-Houses
,
Meeting-places
,
Markets
,
High-wayes
,
or
other
places
,
and
reprove
sin
and
wickedness
,
and
cry
against
evil
in
Priests
and
people
,
and
exhort
to
good
,
and
to
forsake
evil
,
and
therefore
it
ought
not
to
be
prosecuted
and
punished
,
but
defended
and
maintained
,
by
the
Just
Government
of
a
Common-Wealth
,
and
by
Just
Laws
and
Magistrates
;
for
this
the
Lord
requireth
,
that
Justice
and
Truth
,
and
true
Judgement
be
exalted
,
and
the
Innocent
and
Unright
defended
,
in
all
their
wayes
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
that
Evil-doers
,
and
Sinners
,
and
Transgressors
,
be
condemned
,
and
righteously
judged
.
Also
many
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
deeply
suffer
,
and
is
deeply
afflicted
by
injustice
,
for
the
exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
in
other
things
,
as
because
they
cannot
put
off
their
Hats
and
bow
in
respect
to
mens
persons
,
according
to
the
vain
customs
of
the
Heathen
;
and
because
they
cannot
Swear
upon
a
Book
,
by
kissing
it
,
and
laying
the
hand
upon
it
,
according
to
the
idolatrous
form
,
and
for
such
like
causes
,
because
many
cannot
fulfil
the
lusts
and
wills
of
men
,
that
live
in
pride
and
evil
wayes
,
in
these
and
other
things
,
therefore
are
the
people
of
God
put
to
great
sufferings
,
though
they
deny
not
the
honour
due
to
all
men
in
the
Lord
,
without
bowing
the
Hat
,
nor
to
affirm
the
truth
in
every
cause
,
in
faithfulness
without
an
Oath
;
now
to
keep
on
the
Hat
,
which
is
a
cover
for
the
head
,
to
keep
from
cold
or
heat
,
for
healths
sake
,
before
any
man
whatsoever
,
though
never
so
great
or
noble
,
is
not
any
wrong
or
injury
to
the
mans
person
or
estate
before
whom
it
is
done
,
but
onely
the
high
minde
and
the
proud
nature
,
and
that
which
is
exalted
above
the
fear
of
God
,
which
would
be
Lord
over
his
fellow
creatures
,
that
same
is
offended
and
troubled
,
which
bears
not
the
Image
of
God
,
but
of
the
Devil
,
as
Hamman
was
,
and
would
be
bowed
to
,
and
had
in
honour
,
and
respected
,
because
of
knowledge
or
parts
,
and
proud
gestures
or
apparel
;
and
the
Children
of
the
Lord
cannot
do
it
,
nor
give
honour
to
him
,
nor
be
subject
,
and
pleasing
to
that
man
,
who
is
of
that
spirit
and
of
that
nature
which
is
not
of
God
,
but
exalted
in
pride
,
and
vain-glory
above
the
fear
of
God
,
and
against
him
,
and
would
be
worshipped
,
and
had
in
honour
and
reverenced
of
his
Fellow-creatures
,
who
hath
not
so
much
riches
in
this
World
as
he
,
nor
is
so
proud
in
apparel
as
he
;
and
because
of
that
he
looks
to
be
bowed
unto
with
Hat
or
Knee
,
and
is
offended
if
he
be
not
,
and
then
in
his
pride
he
rages
and
is
vexed
,
and
seeks
revenge
against
such
as
cannot
honour
him
,
and
respect
him
in
his
pride
and
vain-glory
;
but
as
I
said
this
is
not
done
as
a
matter
of
wrong
unto
any
,
though
the
Hat
be
not
bowed
or
put
off
,
but
it
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
unto
the
people
of
God
,
and
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
they
do
deny
,
and
may
not
give
obedience
,
and
honour
,
and
respect
,
out
of
the
fear
of
God
,
to
proud
flesh
,
and
to
men
which
is
not
in
the
fear
of
God
,
which
expects
reverence
out
of
the
Lord
,
and
they
know
it
is
nothing
else
that
is
offended
but
proud
flesh
,
and
an
exalted
mind
,
and
a
man
that
fears
not
God
,
neither
walks
in
his
ways
;
I
say
,
it
is
nothing
else
,
nor
any
besides
,
that
is
offended
or
troubled
,
because
the
Hat
is
not
put
off
and
bowed
,
and
the
people
of
God
are
not
careful
to
please
or
offend
that
in
men
,
and
men
as
such
,
for
they
know
nothing
of
God
;
nor
any
man
that
truly
Fears
God
will
be
offended
at
the
want
of
a
Hat
bowed
to
him
,
and
thus
it
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
unto
many
,
and
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
they
do
deny
to
honour
and
subject
themselves
by
obedience
to
any
man
,
as
he
is
a
man
out
of
the
fear
of
God
,
and
in
the
glory
of
the
vain
World
,
expecting
reverence
out
of
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
contrary
to
his
Law
,
which
forbids
the
respect
to
persons
,
and
all
honour
which
is
not
according
to
God
;
for
who
doth
fear
to
offend
a
man
,
as
a
man
without
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
doth
obey
and
honour
any
man
,
by
putting
off
the
Hat
before
him
,
or
otherwise
,
and
not
onely
in
the
Lord
;
such
are
Servants
to
the
wicked
one
,
and
not
unto
God
;
who
fears
the
wrath
of
the
wicked
,
and
subjects
in
honour
to
please
the
wicked
by
putting
off
,
and
bowing
the
Hat
and
such
like
;
and
such
knows
not
the
excercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
to
God
;
so
this
is
a
matter
of
Conscience
to
deny
to
honour
,
and
to
please
wicked
men
,
as
such
,
by
bowing
the
Hat
,
and
no
man
in
justice
ought
to
be
made
to
suffer
because
o●
it
,
for
the
Law
of
God
justifies
it
,
and
that
Law
and
Judgement
is
corrupt
,
and
perverted
,
which
condemns
it
.
And
likewise
though
many
deny
to
swear
at
all
,
though
not
to
testifie
the
Truth
;
yet
they
do
not
wilfully
wrong
hereby
to
any
mans
Person
or
Estate
,
but
it
is
a
matter
of
conscience
unto
them
,
and
with
a
good
Conscience
they
cannot
swear
,
but
do
deny
it
upon
all
Conditions
,
because
Christ
hath
commanded
not
to
swear
at
all
,
and
the
Apostle
doth
exhort
,
above
all
things
,
not
to
swear
;
and
therefore
it
is
a
matter
of
conscience
unto
many
,
and
not
a
matter
of
purposed
wrong
towards
any
man
,
and
though
here
it
may
be
objected
;
But
for
want
of
an
Oath
,
a
just
man
may
loose
his
just
Cause
;
because
Judgment
depends
upon
witness
by
oath
:
to
that
I
answer
,
that
is
because
,
the
Law
is
not
according
to
Christ
,
by
which
the
Judgment
comes
,
but
is
unjustly
grounded
upon
the
breach
of
Christs
Command
,
viz.
swearing
;
and
whether
ought
the
man
to
be
blamed
or
condemned
as
a
Transgressor
,
who
keeps
Christ's
Command
,
and
cannot
swear
at
all
upon
any
Tearms
,
or
whether
that
Law
ought
not
to
be
corrected
and
regulated
to
be
according
to
the
Law
of
Christ
,
and
all
that
which
is
contrary
in
the
execution
thereof
to
be
condemned
and
removed
,
that
a
just
man's
witness
may
be
given
and
taken
upon
occasion
,
without
an
Oath
;
and
his
just
cause
may
go
on
against
his
Enemies
,
by
just
judgment
,
grounded
upon
the
naked
truth
,
in
plainness
testified
without
swearing
,
this
is
to
be
considered
;
and
though
it
be
again
obiected
,
but
many
,
say
some
,
makes
more
Conscience
and
are
more
afraid
to
testify
falsly
upon
Oath
,
then
upon
bare
words
without
an
Oath
;
so
to
have
the
truth
known
wholly
,
that
is
the
end
of
the
Oath
;
to
this
I
answer
,
a
man
that
truly
and
uprightly
fears
God
,
will
be
as
much
afraid
and
make
as
much
Conscience
of
speaking
falsly
,
as
of
swearing
falsly
;
and
out
of
a
good
Conscience
will
testifie
as
truly
,
as
if
he
swore
:
and
for
others
,
who
fears
to
swear
falsly
,
and
doth
not
so
much
fear
to
speak
falsly
without
Oath
,
this
is
because
there
is
a
greater
punishment
to
such
,
and
it
is
accounted
a
greater
offence
among
men
,
to
swear
falsly
,
then
to
speak
falsly
,
and
for
the
correcting
of
that
,
the
punishment
and
offence
should
be
changed
,
and
such
as
testify
falsly
without
Oath
,
may
be
accounted
Offenders
and
punished
,
as
such
who
swears
falsly
,
and
this
will
bind
the
wicked
in
a
sufficient
fear
,
and
cause
them
to
be
afraid
,
of
testifying
falsly
,
even
as
much
as
of
swearing
falsly
,
if
the
testimony
in
causes
among
men
,
of
such
evil
persons
who
cannot
make
Conscience
of
lying
,
nor
speak
the
truth
without
swearing
,
it
ought
the
rather
to
be
had
,
and
to
be
done
,
by
binding
by
a
Law
,
and
punishing
,
if
he
testifie
a
Lye
,
then
by
causing
him
to
continue
in
the
breach
of
Christs
command
;
but
however
,
still
I
say
,
such
who
out
of
a
good
and
tender
Conscience
,
do
deny
to
swear
,
ought
not
to
be
persecuted
and
punished
as
great
Offenders
;
for
while
this
is
done
,
the
Law
and
good
Government
is
perverted
,
and
authority
is
greatly
abused
,
to
another
end
then
wherefore
it
was
ordained
of
God
,
and
that
Law
and
authority
must
needs
be
unjust
which
oppresseth
,
or
punisheth
the
excercise
of
a
good
Conscience
,
as
for
evill
doing
;
and
this
shews
the
blindness
and
ignorance
of
men
in
authority
to
whom
the
Law
is
committed
who
discerns
not
,
neither
makes
a
difference
betwixt
things
done
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
in
the
excercise
of
a
good
Conscience
towards
him
,
and
things
done
out
of
an
evil
minde
to
evil
inte●ts
,
purposely
and
wilfully
to
do
wrong
and
injury
to
mens
persons
and
estates
;
for
all
Magistrates
ought
to
learn
this
,
and
to
distinguish
,
that
their
power
and
authority
may
justifie
the
one
,
and
condemn
the
other
,
that
true
justice
and
sound
judgement
,
may
spring
forth
in
the
Earth
,
and
in
the
Nations
,
that
all
the
Upright
and
Well-doers
may
rejoyce
,
and
live
in
rest
and
peace
,
and
all
the
Workers
of
Iniquity
,
and
such
as
do
Evil
may
be
afraid
,
and
fear
to
offend
just
men
,
and
just
Laws
;
and
thus
would
the
Name
of
the
Lord
be
great
in
the
Earth
among
men
;
and
such
a
Government
renowned
for
ever
,
and
such
Magistrates
would
be
a
praise
to
Generations
after
them
,
and
a
blessed
example
to
Ages
to
come
;
But
now
some
may
say
,
and
object
;
how
shall
this
be
known
?
and
who
can
tell
and
discern
of
such
Causes
,
and
who
it
is
that
do
their
Works
,
out
of
the
exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
who
do
their
Deeds
out
of
an
evil
Minde
,
and
to
an
evil
intent
,
and
so
is
wrong
dealing
,
and
worthy
of
punishment
?
this
is
a
doubtful
Cause
may
some
say
,
and
difficult
to
be
known
and
understood
:
But
to
this
I
answer
,
and
say
,
To
all
such
as
have
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
and
are
led
thereby
,
and
in
their
Judgement
guided
therewith
,
this
is
an
easie
thing
to
discern
,
and
an
easie
matter
to
know
and
find
out
;
and
such
as
cannot
discern
and
distingush
in
such
Matters
have
not
the
Spirit
of
God
,
nor
the
spirit
of
true
and
sound
Judgment
;
neither
is
indeed
ordained
of
God
,
nor
fit
to
judge
the
People
,
nor
the
honour
of
a
Ruler
and
Judge
belongs
not
to
such
a
one
who
cannot
find
out
a
matter
,
nor
know
and
judge
between
the
precious
and
the
vile
,
how
to
justifie
the
one
,
and
how
to
condemn
the
other
;
and
indeed
,
this
is
the
reason
and
cause
of
so
much
Injustice
and
Oppression
brought
forth
at
this
day
;
because
the
spirit
of
sound
Judgment
is
wanting
,
and
such
as
are
set
to
judge
hath
it
not
,
to
try
,
and
discern
,
and
give
Judgment
by
it
;
and
therefore
Light
is
put
for
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
for
Light
;
and
good
is
called
Evil
,
and
Evil
Good
,
and
true
Justice
and
Judgment
is
perverted
and
turned
backward
,
and
the
guiltless
is
condemned
guilty
.
But
,
I
say
,
if
the
work
be
done
by
a
man
,
out
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
as
a
matter
of
Conscience
,
then
he
doth
it
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
in
the
cross
to
his
own
will
,
and
in
meekness
and
tenderness
of
heart
,
not
seeking
himself
in
what
he
doth
,
but
is
willing
to
suffer
for
the
Truth
sake
,
and
for
what
he
doth
,
and
will
not
resist
Evil
,
or
the
false
Judgments
of
men
;
but
patiently
,
and
quietly
bears
all
things
,
for
the
Lords
sake
;
and
in
all
what
.
he
doth
or
suffers
,
he
gives
the
glory
to
the
Lord
,
who
works
his
works
in
him
,
and
gives
him
strength
and
patience
willing
to
suffer
for
them
:
But
again
,
I
do
answer
,
by
men
that
have
the
spirit
of
sound
Judgment
to
rule
and
guide
them
,
this
cause
is
easie
to
be
discerned
,
and
the
difference
may
be
known
,
betwixt
a
thing
done
out
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
,
and
a
thing
done
out
of
an
evil
mind
and
purpose
,
and
to
an
evil
end
,
to
the
wrong
and
injury
of
another
;
for
the
ground
from
whence
the
works
do
proceed
,
are
contrary
,
and
the
spirit
by
which
the
works
are
wrought
are
contrary
,
and
the
purpose
and
end
to
which
they
are
wrought
are
contrary
,
and
the
spirit
of
God
,
and
of
sound
Judgment
may
,
and
doth
put
a
difference
betwixt
the
ground
,
acting
,
and
end
of
all
works
;
for
it
is
the
ground
from
whence
all
works
do
spring
,
and
the
end
unto
which
they
are
brought
forth
,
that
makes
all
mens
works
good
or
evil
,
to
be
justified
,
or
to
be
condemned
;
and
where
the
Measure
of
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
is
the
Ground
of
,
and
Leader
in
a
work
,
that
work
,
as
I
have
said
,
is
done
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
uprightness
of
heart
,
and
in
love
and
tenderness
,
and
meekness
and
patience
,
without
seeking
or
exalting
self
;
but
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
is
only
sought
by
that
man
in
all
such
his
works
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
where
an
evil
heart
and
mind
brings
forth
works
to
an
evil
end
,
and
to
the
wrong
of
others
,
such
works
are
maliciously
and
wilfully
,
and
enviously
,
and
peevishly
done
,
in
forwardness
,
and
headiness
,
and
not
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
nor
in
uprightness
of
heart
;
but
with
a
double
mind
,
and
in
secret
,
or
without
the
Counsel
of
God
,
seeking
himself
in
his
works
,
and
not
the
Lord
,
and
such
works
are
wicked
,
and
wrought
by
wicked
men
,
who
transgresseth
both
the
Law
of
God
and
of
men
,
and
must
receive
according
to
their
deeds
;
and
the
Law
that
is
equal
must
pass
upon
them
,
which
the
Light
of
Christ
in
their
own
Consciences
may
answer
to
,
when
they
are
condemned
for
their
ungodly
works
;
against
which
Light
they
act
,
and
that
is
the
reason
and
cause
,
wherefore
their
works
are
evil
,
and
to
be
condemned
by
the
Law
;
for
who
acteth
according
to
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
is
led
thereby
,
fulfilleth
the
Law
,
or
it
is
fulfilled
in
him
;
and
his
works
are
wrought
in
God
,
and
are
the
testimony
unto
men
,
that
he
is
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
his
works
are
done
,
and
such
men
and
works
are
not
to
be
condemned
,
but
justified
:
And
this
is
for
Instruction
to
all
them
that
bear
Rule
,
who
are
Magistrates
,
and
Governours
,
and
Judges
of
the
people
,
that
they
may
now
be
wife
,
and
learn
wisdom
,
how
to
judge
righteously
and
justly
among
people
,
that
they
may
fulfil
the
Will
of
God
in
what
he
hath
called
them
unto
,
even
that
they
may
cherish
,
and
defend
,
and
strengthen
such
as
do
well
,
and
all
whose
pure
Consciences
are
purely
exercised
,
may
live
in
peace
and
rest
under
such
a
Government
;
and
all
Evil-Doers
may
be
bound
,
limitted
,
and
judged
,
and
may
stand
in
awe
,
and
be
afraid
;
and
thus
Justice
and
true
Judgment
would
be
advanced
,
and
Equity
would
run
down
as
a
mighty
Stream
,
and
the
Nation
would
be
blessed
,
and
yeild
content
and
satisfaction
to
her
Inhabitants
;
and
hereby
might
the
Rulers
and
Judges
gain
unto
themselves
a
good
report
,
and
an
honour
and
renown
would
the
Lord
crown
them
withal
in
Generations
to
come
.
Wherefore
,
all
ye
Rulers
,
and
ye
that
are
set
to
judge
the
people
,
be
now
awakened
to
just
Judgment
,
and
to
a
sound
discerning
,
and
put
on
the
spirit
of
true
Judgment
,
even
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
that
you
may
receive
it
,
to
be
taught
in
all
things
,
how
to
walk
with
God
,
that
you
may
answer
his
call
,
and
the
End
of
your
Authority
,
in
judging
justly
all
sorts
of
men
,
rendring
to
every
man
according
to
his
Deeds
;
even
Condemnation
and
Judgment
to
Evil-Doers
,
and
a
Praise
and
Defence
to
all
that
do
well
.
And
this
is
written
in
love
to
you
all
,
shewing
you
how
to
put
a
difference
betwixt
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
;
between
the
Just
and
Unjust
,
that
you
may
be
the
more
happy
,
if
this
you
observe
;
not
leaving
your
names
a
Reproach
,
and
a
Scorn
to
after
Ages
,
which
is
the
effect
which
doth
follow
all
such
as
pervert
Justice
,
and
turns
true
Judgment
backward
,
with
Misery
and
Destruction
upon
themselves
and
Posterity
for
evermore
.
A
True
and
Faithful
Exposition
of
some
part
of
the
Laws
of
ENGLAND
.
ALL
ye
Magistrates
,
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
Mayors
,
and
all
other
Ministers
of
the
Law
,
and
all
ye
to
whomsoever
the
Law
is
committed
,
I
warn
you
all
to
take
heed
to
your selves
,
that
ye
fulfil
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
in
judging
Righteously
and
executing
true
Justice
and
Judgment
:
and
let
not
Envy
,
nor
false
Suspitions
,
nor
Jealousies
have
any
place
in
you
;
but
with
a
single
Eye
try
all
things
,
and
with
an
upright
Heart
judge
for
God
,
and
not
for
man
:
and
beware
of
causing
the
Innocent
to
suffer
,
whose
Consciences
are
exercised
towards
God
,
though
they
be
contrary
to
the
World
in
their
Wayes
and
Judgments
;
for
if
you
cause
such
to
suffer
,
you
do
not
execute
true
Judgment
,
but
subvert
the
Law
;
and
the
Lord
will
require
that
Suffering
of
his
People
at
your
hands
.
Now
consider
,
The
Law
was
not
made
for
a
Righteous
Man
,
but
for
Transgressors
,
such
whose
Consciences
are
not
exercisd
towards
God
;
and
such
your
Sword
is
to
be
laid
upon
;
to
be
a
Terror
to
them
,
and
not
to
the
Innocent
;
for
they
should
have
Praise
that
do
well
:
And
you
must
take
heed
lest
you
abuse
your
Power
to
another
End
then
wherefore
God
hath
ordained
it
;
for
the
Law
was
added
because
of
Transgression
,
to
slay
the
Transgressor
;
and
that
is
the
End
of
the
Law
.
Now
you
must
take
heed
of
causing
any
to
suffer
upon
bare
Suspition
,
or
Evil
Jealousies
,
when
as
no
Transgression
is
truly
charged
,
nor
justly
proved
against
them
before
you
:
And
you
are
not
to
be
both
Accusers
and
Judges
of
any
one
,
in
any
Cause
.
You
have
a
late
Act
for
the
taking
up
,
and
punishing
of
idle
,
l●●se
and
dissolute
Persons
;
such
as
are
Vagrants
,
and
wandering
Rogues
,
Vagabonds
and
sturdy
Beggars
:
Now
this
Law
is
good
,
if
it
be
duly
and
justly
executed
upon
such
as
are
truly
guilty
herein
;
and
it
is
right
that
sturdy
Beggars
,
and
Rogues
,
and
idle
and
disorderly
Persons
,
should
be
taken
up
from
wandering
,
and
set
on
work
in
some
good
Imployment
in
the
Creation
,
which
may
maintain
themselves
,
and
prevent
them
from
worse
things
:
But
now
you
must
take
heed
of
judging
any
to
be
such
,
who
are
not
really
so
;
for
,
many
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
now
,
as
it
was
in
Generations
past
,
are
moved
to
leave
their
own
Country
,
and
Dwellings
,
and
Relations
;
and
go
abroad
in
the
Nations
,
to
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
to
bear
witness
of
his
Name
in
the
World
;
to
the
turning
of
People
from
the
wayes
of
Sin
and
Death
,
to
the
Way
of
Righteousness
and
Truth
:
and
it
may
be
such
cannot
give
you
an
Account
,
or
sufficient
Cause
of
their
travelling
abroad
(
so
as
to
satisfie
you
)
For
that
is
lawful
in
the
sight
of
God
,
which
you
may
not
judge
to
be
so
;
for
God's
Wayes
are
not
man's
wayes
,
neither
are
his
Thoughts
as
man's
thoughts
:
Therefore
,
I
say
unto
you
,
If
you
cause
any
such
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
to
suffer
by
that
Law
,
you
abuse
your
power
,
and
subvert
the
Law
;
for
such
are
not
Vagabonds
,
nor
idle
dissolute
Persons
,
nor
Rogues
,
nor
sturdy
Beggars
;
no
more
than
Christ
was
,
who
had
no
where
to
lay
his
head
;
and
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
were
,
some
of
which
had
no
certain
dwelling
place
,
but
left
their
Countries
,
and
Relations
,
and
wandred
up
and
down
the
World
,
from
Town
to
Town
,
and
from
one
Country
to
another
,
even
as
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
do
by
the
same
Spirit
,
at
this
day
,
who
can
no
more
be
truly
judged
for
Vagabonds
,
and
Rogues
,
&c.
than
Christ
and
his
Apostles
could
be
,
who
were
a
perfect
example
to
us
in
these
things
;
For
it
is
a
lawful
occasion
,
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
whatever
you
judge
of
it
,
to
travel
up
and
down
(
not
being
burthen
some
,
or
chargeable
to
any
)
to
beat
witness
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
against
all
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
that
people
may
be
reformed
,
and
instructed
in
the
right
way
;
Therefore
you
must
make
a
special
distinction
in
your
Judgement
,
between
such
as
are
Rogues
,
and
idle
and
dissolute
persons
,
who
are
hurtful
to
the
Creation
,
and
such
as
are
innocent
and
harmless
,
and
not
of
evil
behaviour
,
(
though
you
may
through
prejudice
otherwise
judge
of
them
)
this
is
to
inform
you
herein
,
that
your
Judgments
may
be
according
to
God
,
and
not
according
to
man
,
neither
with
respect
of
persons
.
Also
you
have
another
late
Act
for
the
Observation
of
the
Lord's-Day
,
wherein
is
inserted
,
That
none
shall
wilfully
,
maliciously
,
or
of
purpose
disturb
,
or
disquiet
the
publick
Preacher
,
or
to
make
any
publick
Disturbance
in
the
Congregation
.
Now
the
Law
is
good
,
and
it
is
right
that
all
such
be
punished
,
who
do
malitiously
,
wilfully
,
or
of
an
evil
purpose
disturb
or
disquiet
any
man
,
or
people
,
to
the
danger
of
breach
of
publick
Peace
;
and
let
all
such
be
punished
according
to
their
desert
:
But
yet
you
must
take
heed
in
this
cause
;
for
many
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
are
,
and
may
be
moved
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
to
come
into
a
Congregation
,
or
an
Assembly
of
People
to
declare
against
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
and
the
Wayes
of
Wickedness
in
People
;
or
to
ask
a
Question
soberly
of
the
Teacher
,
or
to
instruct
People
to
Edification
in
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
or
such
like
may
they
do
,
as
they
are
moved
,
●nd
yet
not
maliciously
,
nor
wilfully
,
nor
of
wicked
purpose
;
for
it
was
the
Apostles
Practice
,
and
the
Practice
of
the
Saints
,
to
go
in
the
Synagogues
and
Meeting-places
,
and
to
dispute
with
the
Teachers
on
the
Sabbath-days
,
and
sometimes
they
spoke
to
the
people
by
way
of
Exhortation
,
and
the
people
bid
them
speak
on
;
and
yet
these
were
not
Disturbers
of
the
Assembly
,
neither
were
they
malicious
men
,
or
wilful
,
neither
did
they
these
things
to
any
evil
purpose
;
and
it
was
the
Practise
of
the
Saints
,
that
all
may
speak
one
by
one
in
the
Church
,
when
they
were
assembled
together
;
and
this
is
the
Practise
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
now
;
and
yet
they
cannot
justly
be
condemned
by
your
Law
,
though
they
come
into
your
Assembly
,
as
they
are
moved
of
the
Lord
,
to
object
,
or
reprove
,
or
exhort
;
for
they
do
it
not
in
malice
towards
any
,
but
in
love
towards
all
,
and
they
can
no
more
justly
be
condemned
than
the
Apostles
,
and
Saints
in
the
Primitive
times
,
who
were
unto
us
a
just
example
in
these
Practises
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Scripture
;
and
you
may
as
justly
condemn
them
,
as
us
,
who
are
guided
by
the
same
spirit
in
the
same
things
;
Therefore
you
have
need
to
take
heed
of
condemning
the
Innocent
by
a
Law
,
lest
you
bring
innocent
blood
upon
you
;
and
you
must
make
a
perfect
difference
between
such
as
comes
among
you
,
Wilfully
and
maliciously
,
and
on
evil
purpose
to
disturb
,
and
molest
any
man
,
or
Congregation
,
and
such
who
comes
in
the
Name
and
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
who
are
moved
of
him
,
contrary
to
their
own
wills
,
an●●h
love
to
all
people
;
And
in
these
causes
you
have
need
of
discerning
and
sound
judgement
,
lest
you
condemn
the
guiltless
,
and
abuse
your
power
,
and
subvert
the
Law
,
and
so
bring
condemnation
upon
your selves
;
And
as
you
will
answer
it
before
the
Lord
in
his
dreadfull
day
,
cause
not
any
to
suffer
through
your
envy
,
and
surmizings
,
or
false
suspition
,
through
over-reaching
the
words
of
the
Law
to
a
wrong
sense
,
and
to
a
wrong
end
.
Also
it
is
inserted
in
the
same
Act
against
many
evil
things
,
〈◊〉
drinking
in
Taverns
,
Inns
,
Ale-houses
,
Strong-water-houses
,
or
to
Tipple
unnecessarily
,
or
any
other
house
,
&c.
and
also
against
travelling
,
and
walking
on
that
day
vainly
and
prophanely
,
&c.
Now
the
Law
is
good
,
that
evil
exercise
be
prevented
,
and
prophaneness
in
every
respect
on
that
day
,
and
on
every
day
,
and
that
such
be
punished
that
are
found
in
any
evil
exercise
whatsoever
;
But
yet
you
must
take
heed
that
none
of
the
Innocent
suffer
hereby
;
for
many
of
the
people
of
God
may
,
and
do
travel
on
that
day
to
meet
together
to
worship
God
,
and
to
wait
upon
him
,
to
find
his
presence
,
and
to
receive
of
his
refreshments
to
their
souls
;
But
this
cannot
be
judged
an
evil
practise
,
or
prophane
travelling
,
or
breach
of
the
Sabbath
;
For
we
read
of
a
Sabbath-days
Journey
,
Acts
1.
and
12.
where
some
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
returned
from
Ierusalem
to
Mount
Olivet
,
which
is
a
Sabbath-dayes
Journey
,
so
that
such
,
who
now
travels
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
on
that
day
,
though
it
be
several
Miles
to
,
and
from
the
place
of
Meeting
,
cannot
justly
be
judged
to
be
Sabbath-breakers
,
no
more
than
the
Apostles
,
who
travelled
a
Sabbath-days
Journey
in
obedience
to
the
Lord
to
wait
upon
him
;
So
that
you
must
take
heed
,
and
make
a
noted
distinction
betwixt
such
who
travel
on
a
profane
,
and
an
evil
exercise
,
or
about
the
affairs
of
this
World
,
and
such
who
travel
on
a
good
exercise
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
to
serve
him
;
For
the
Law
it self
excepts
such
from
being
taken
up
,
or
judged
Sabbath-breakers
:
So
take
heed
that
you
subvert
not
the
Law
,
and
abuse
your
power
through
false
judgement
,
through
your
own
envy
,
and
so
you
smite
the
guiltless
,
and
brings
destruction
upon
your selves
;
For
herein
we
own
the
Law
of
God
to
walk
by
,
and
the
Apostles
for
an
example
,
though
we
may
suffer
unjustly
by
you
.
Also
there
is
a
late
Act
,
for
Discovering
and
Repressing
of
Popish
Recusants
,
by
presenting
to
such
as
are
Popish
,
or
Popishly
affected
,
an
Oath
,
as
is
therein
described
,
To
renounce
the
Pope's
Authority
,
and
to
deny
all
his
Doctrines
;
and
to
testifie
against
the
Authority
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
against
any
Licence
given
,
thereby
to
bear
Arms
,
or
raise
Tumults
;
or
by
Violence
to
hurt
the
chief
Magistrate
,
or
Government
of
these
Nations
,
&c.
And
such
as
deny
the
taking
of
that
Oath
,
are
to
be
adjudged
Popish
Recusants
,
and
to
be
proceeded
against
accordingly
.
Now
that
Law
is
good
,
That
such
,
who
are
adherent
to
the
Pope
,
and
by
his
Authority
would
raise
Armies
and
Tumults
,
and
offer
Violence
to
the
Hurt
of
the
chief
Magistrate
,
or
Government
,
or
people
of
these
Nations
,
&c.
as
it
is
signified
in
the
said
Oath
,
should
be
discovered
and
repressed
:
But
yet
you
must
take
heed
,
and
wait
for
sound
Judgment
in
the
Prosecution
of
the
same
:
For
all
are
not
to
be
condemned
that
cannot
swear
,
or
take
an
Oath
;
for
many
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
who
are
Followers
of
Christ
,
cannot
swear
for
Conscience
sake
,
because
Christ
hath
commanded
,
Not
to
Swear
at
all
;
though
such
do
deny
the
Pope
,
and
all
his
Authority
and
Doctrines
,
and
whatsoever
else
is
signified
in
that
Oath
,
who
cannot
justly
be
suspected
to
be
any
way
adherent
to
the
Pope
in
Doctrines
or
Practices
,
except
through
wicked
Envy
you
seek
occasion
against
them
thereby
;
and
you
abuse
your
Power
,
and
subvert
the
Law
,
if
you
judge
such
to
be
Popish
Recusants
,
because
they
will
not
Swear
,
because
they
cannot
for
Conscience
sake
;
but
walk
in
Christ's
Doctrine
,
who
commanded
not
to
Swear
;
and
follow
the
Apostle's
Example
,
who
said
,
Above
all
things
,
my
Brethren
,
Swear
not
at
all
,
And
such
cannot
justly
be
suspected
or
judged
for
Popish
Recusants
,
who
are
Followers
of
Christ
,
and
keep
his
Commands
.
Therefore
you
must
be
considerate
,
and
search
deep
into
those
things
that
are
thus
weighty
,
lest
you
cause
the
Guiltless
to
suffer
,
and
thereby
vex
the
Lord
against
your selves
:
And
you
must
make
a
special
difference
betwixt
such
as
will
not
Swear
,
because
they
are
guilty
;
and
such
as
cannot
Swear
for
Conscience
sake
,
though
they
are
not
guilty
,
but
clear
and
free
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
of
such
things
,
as
may
be
falsly
suspected
and
charged
against
them
by
envious
men
,
which
may
watch
for
Evil
,
and
give
Information
against
the
People
of
God
unto
you
:
But
let
your
Eye
be
single
in
all
these
things
,
that
you
may
save
your selves
from
Wrath
and
Condemnation
,
which
will
be
a
Reward
of
all
such
,
who
subvert
good
Laws
to
a
wrong
End
,
and
seek
to
cover
themselves
in
their
Persecution
of
the
Innocent
by
making
the
Law
a
Cloak
;
but
such
Coverings
will
not
hide
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
.
And
my
Friends
,
In
the
Execution
of
these
,
and
other
Laws
,
let
the
Fear
of
God
guide
you
,
and
true
Judgment
and
sound
Discerning
,
that
you
may
try
into
the
Nature
and
Ground
of
every
thing
,
and
may
not
judge
only
by
outward
Appearance
,
but
judge
Righteous
Judgment
.
And
this
is
a
great
Transgression
in
the
Sight
of
the
LORD
at
this
Day
,
even
the
false
Execution
of
Good
LAWS
,
and
the
subversion
of
them
to
wrong
Ends
and
Uses
by
some
wicked
men
,
who
are
in
Authority
,
to
whom
the
Law
is
committed
:
And
this
we
know
by
Experience
,
Be
the
Law
never
so
just
and
good
,
yet
if
the
Executioners
of
the
Law
be
unjust
and
unrighteous
,
true
Justice
and
Judgment
is
turn'd
backward
,
and
for
want
thereof
the
Harmless
and
Innocent
daily
suffer
;
which
kindleth
and
encreaseth
the
fierce
Anger
of
the
Lord
against
these
Nations
.
And
likewise
,
All
you
that
are
in
Power
and
Authority
,
you
ought
not
to
command
any
thing
of
any
man
,
which
the
Law
gives
you
no
power
to
Command
;
for
,
doing
so
,
you
make
your selves
Transgressors
;
as
for
instance
,
You
have
no
Power
by
any
Law
to
command
men
to
put
off
their
Hats
,
when
they
come
before
you
;
neither
by
any
Law
can
you
justly
punish
them
,
if
they
do
it
not
:
neither
can
you
justly
punish
such
by
any
Law
,
who
deny
to
Swear
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
:
But
what
hath
been
inflicted
upon
some
in
such
cases
,
hath
been
by
Will
and
Malice
,
and
not
by
any
Law
;
and
the
Lord
doth
account
such
things
against
the
Wicked
,
who
cause
such
Sufferings
.
And
of
these
things
I
have
given
you
Warning
,
and
it
is
in
perfect
Love
unto
you
all
,
as
to
inform
you
truly
,
lest
you
cause
the
Innocent
to
suffer
.
I
am
a
real
Friend
to
the
Common-wealth
,
and
a
Lover
of
Iustice
and
true
Iudgment
,
and
fully
affected
towards
Iust
Government
,
and
wish
well
to
Magistrates

FRiends
,
my
love
and
life
,
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
which
is
in
the
living
God
doth
reach
unto
,
and
salute
all
you
that
are
in
the
Light
of
Life
,
and
in
the
Truth
it self
,
which
changeth
not
,
which
endureth
for
ever
,
which
we
receive
of
God
the
everlasting
Father
,
through
the
Gospel
,
which
came
unto
us
in
the
demonstration
of
the
Spirit
,
and
of
Power
,
to
the
changing
of
us
from
Death
,
which
reigned
over
us
,
to
Life
,
in
which
we
have
power
over
Death
,
and
to
the
turning
of
us
from
the
power
of
Satan
,
wherein
we
were
held
,
unto
the
power
of
the
living
God
,
wherein
we
became
fruitful
,
and
a
good
savour
unto
him
through
Nations
.
Dearly
Beloved
,
in
the
same
Truth
be
faithful
unto
death
,
in
that
which
cannot
sin
,
nor
be
overcome
of
the
Tempter
,
which
Satan
hath
nothing
in
,
wherein
only
our
fellowship
and
union
standeth
one
with
another
,
as
we
abide
in
the
living
Vine
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
of
the
World
,
in
which
you
have
believed
unto
Eternal
Life
,
and
have
entered
into
the
Rest
which
is
prepared
;
as
you
continue
therein
,
you
cannot
be
moved
or
shaken
,
but
are
as
Mount-Sion
,
established
in
the
Power
,
and
Life
,
and
Wisdom
of
the
Everlasting
God
,
which
condemns
Darkness
,
and
all
its
works
,
and
gives
dominion
and
rule
over
all
the
powers
of
Death
and
Hell
,
which
worketh
in
the
Children
of
Disobedience
,
who
know
not
God
,
nor
receive
the
Truth
,
much
more
in
them
who
turns
from
the
Light
and
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
into
the
Liberty
of
the
Flesh
,
to
serve
sin
,
having
made
shipwrack
of
Fear
,
and
of
Faith
and
a
good
Conscience
,
who
shall
bear
their
own
shame
and
condemnation
in
the
Sight
of
God
&
man
,
and
shall
have
no
part
with
us
in
the
Inheritance
of
Peace
and
Righteousness
;
but
the
later
end
of
such
is
worse
then
the
beginning
:
Wherefore
you
that
are
in
the
Covenant
of
Peace
,
where
sin
is
not
remembred
,
nor
committed
,
nor
the
unclean
thing
touched
,
dwell
and
abide
in
the
Life
of
God
,
and
in
his
Strength
,
which
reigns
over
all
the
World
,
with
its
temptations
,
and
over
all
false
Brethren
,
and
over
all
deceitful
Workers
,
whose
Eye
becometh
darkned
,
and
heart
hardned
through
the
deceitfulness
of
sin
,
turning
the
Grace
of
God
into
wantonness
,
and
giving
liberty
to
the
unclean
thing
,
which
is
accursed
,
and
joyned
to
the
Harlot
,
and
become
one
Flesh
;
but
in
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
God
walk
before
him
,
and
keep
your selves
pure
and
undefiled
,
and
partake
not
of
the
deeds
of
the
Wicked
,
neither
give
place
to
the
Devil
,
to
be
perverted
by
him
from
the
Truth
of
the
living
God
,
which
is
Truth
in
it self
for
ever
,
though
the
Backsliders
despise
the
Way
of
it
;
and
every
one
abide
in
your
own
,
and
know
a
measure
of
the
Strength
of
Christ
Jesus
in
you
,
to
defend
you
from
the
Enemy
,
who
seeks
to
beguile
and
to
devour
,
and
to
divert
from
the
perfect
Way
of
Life
and
Peace
;
and
dwell
in
your
own
measure
of
the
Grace
of
God
,
which
is
perfect
,
which
is
sufficient
to
teach
,
and
lead
and
preserve
in
all
the
Wayes
of
God
,
which
the
Unclean
cannot
walk
in
;
but
he
that
keepeth
you
,
reproveth
,
and
condemneth
,
and
casteth
out
the
Devil
,
and
all
his
works
and
Workers
,
who
abide
not
in
Christ
Jesus
,
nor
in
the
Truth
,
wherein
we
worship
the
Father
,
who
are
called
of
him
,
and
faithful
and
chosen
Followers
of
the
Lamb
,
who
taketh
away
our
Sin
,
and
giveth
power
over
it
,
and
overthe
Tempter
,
who
seeketh
to
betray
the
Just
One.
And
from
the
Eternal
God
I
warn
you
,
Every
one
know
a
Hiding-place
in
God
;
the
day
of
great
shaking
cometh
upon
the
Garden
of
God
;
the
Beast
that
had
a
Wound
by
a
Sword
,
whose
deadly
Wound
is
healed
,
may
live
,
and
power
may
he
given
him
for
a
Moment
,
to
make
war
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
;
and
Satan
may
prevail
to
winnow
you
,
and
to
try
you
for
your
Life
;
therefore
be
armed
with
the
whole
Armour
of
Light
,
which
manifesteth
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
and
the
working
of
spiritual
Wickednesses
in
high
places
,
and
which
defendeth
you
from
his
power
,
out
of
the
Snare
of
the
Devil
,
in
the
Simplicity
,
as
it
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
who
is
our
Rock
and
our
Strength
,
by
which
we
overcome
the
fiery
Darts
of
the
Enemy
,
which
come
against
us
;
and
dwell
in
the
Truth
,
that
you
may
know
the
Life
which
standeth
in
God
,
with
whom
there
is
no
shaddow
of
turning
,
but
is
the
same
forever
,
and
keepeth
Covenant
with
his
own
Elect
,
which
cannot
be
overcome
of
the
Devil
,
nor
deceived
;
in
whom
,
you
abiding
,
you
cannot
sin
,
but
are
kept
from
being
touched
with
the
Wicked
One
in
the
Way
,
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
in
the
Peace
of
God
,
lively
and
precious
in
his
sight
,
to
serve
him
in
Fear
and
Faithfulness
.
And
if
any
go
out
from
the
Light
,
the
Living
Way
,
they
become
as
withered
Branches
,
to
be
cut
off
from
the
Body
,
no
more
to
have
Fellowship
in
the
Body
,
but
is
reprov'd
and
judg'd
with
that
which
keeps
us
in
the
Body
.
And
though
some
go
from
the
Lord
,
yet
his
Faithfulness
endureth
forever
,
and
his
Promise
is
yea
and
amen
to
his
own
Seed
,
which
keep
Covenant
with
him
,
and
fulfil
his
Law
of
Righteousness
and
Judgment
;
and
he
that
breaketh
Covenant
let
him
be
condemned
,
that
the
Creature
may
be
saved
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
;
for
who
draws
back
,
such
God's
Soul
hath
no
Pleasure
in
them
,
but
is
oppressed
with
that
,
and
his
Soul
vexed
:
Therefore
all
walk
in
God's
Wisdom
,
which
is
Pure
and
Peaceable
;
and
let
not
the
Name
of
our
God
be
spoken
against
through
any
of
you
,
who
have
been
Partakers
of
the
Word
of
Truth
,
through
any
Disobedience
or
ungodly
Walking
;
but
rather
deny
your
own
Liberty
,
then
make
it
an
Occasion
to
the
Flesh
,
wherein
Satan's
strength
stands
;
and
so
God's
Blessing
you
will
receive
,
and
his
Nurishment
unto
your
Souls
,
and
will
be
preserved
in
Faithfulness
,
not
to
end
in
the
Flesh
,
you
that
have
begun
in
the
Spirit
.
And
this
in
pure
Love
towards
you
all
,
as
a
Testimony
of
my
Love
to
the
Seed
of
God
in
you
all
,
was
I
moved
to
write
;
as
seeing
in
the
Light
the
Day
that
cometh
upon
you
,
of
which
some
may
not
be
aware
;
and
I
am
clear
thus
far
of
the
Charge
committed
to
me
of
God
towards
you
,
and
am
in
the
Truth
it self
,
which
cannot
change
,
and
am
in
it
your
Friend
in
the
Service
of
the
Lord
God
,

This
is
to
go
abroad
among
all
Friends
in
Westmorland
and
Cumberland
,
and
elsewhere
among
the
Flock
of
God
,
carefully
to
be
Copied
over
,
and
read
in
your
Meetings
.
A
Second
General
Epistle
To
all
the
SAINTS
.
A
Servant
of
the
Lord
and
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
,
thereunto
ordain'd
and
call'd
through
the
Powerful
Operation
and

are
born
of
God
,
and
Witnesses
of
his
Power
;
and

all
the
Saints
and
Churches
of
Christ
,
who

and

the
sure
and
faithful
Testimony
,
and
are
call'd
with
the
Heavenly
Call
,
to
follow
the
Lamb
whithersoever
he
goes
;
who
is
given
to
you
,
and
received
of
you
,
a
Light
,
a
Guide
,
and
a
Teacher
in
all
the
Wayes
of
God
:
Unto
you
all
that
are
scatter'd
abroad
in
the
World
,
whether
in
Bonds
or
at
Liberty
,
whether
strong
Men
or
Children
in
Christ
;
unto
you
all
I
send
Greeting
;
and
above
all
things
wish
,
and
desire
and
pray
unto
the
Father
,
for
your
increase
in
the
Knowledge
of
him
,
and
Faithfulness
in
all
his
Wayes
,
and
that
the
Increase
of
his
Government
may
abound
among
you
;
and
that
Grace
,
Mercy
and
Peace
may
plentifully
be
enlarged
,
that
nothing
may
be
lacking
to
you
in
any
thing
of
that

maketh
perfect
;
but
that
in
Christ
Jesus

be
compleat
,
and
that
through
him
you
may
receive
Power
,
and
thereby
be
strengthned
to
do
all
things
.
My
dearly
Beloved
,
and
much
longed
for
,
in
the
Fellowship
of
that
Spirit
which
hath
begotten
you
to
be
Sons
and
Daughters
of
one
Father
,
and
Heirs
and
Fellow-members
of
that
Inheritance
of
Life
,
Peace
and
Rest
,
which
abideth
forever
.
Oh
,
how
I
long
to
meet
you
all
in
this
,
and
to
find
you
perfectly
settled
and
established
upon
the
sure
Foundation
,
which
God
hath
laid
amongst
you
,
beyond
all
Doubts
,
and
Fears
and
Stumblings
,
above
the
World
and
all
its
Temptations
,
and
above
Hell
and
Death
,
and
all
the
wayes
thereof
,
having
all
the
powers
of
Darkness
subjected
under
you
,
serving
the
Lord
in
righteous
and
perfect
Holiness
,
walking
in
his
Strength
and
Wisdom
,
shewing
forth
his
Light
in
the
World
,
as
his
only
redeem'd
People
.
Oh
,
how
is
my
desire
more
and
more
kindled
and
enlarged
towards
you
all
,
that
you
may
perfectly
attain
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
great
Mystery
of
Salvation
,
to
wit
,
God
dwelling
in
you
!
I
say
,
my
desire
is
,
That
you
may
know
even
as
you
are
known
,
and
that
you
may
receive
him
as
you
are
received
of
him
;
and
that
you
may
be
a
perfect
Body
,
growing
up
together
,
and
springing
forth
in
all
good
Fruits
,
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
unto
the
Father
,
who
is
glorify'd
through
bringing
forth
much
Fruit
:
And
you
very
well
know
,
that
for
this
End
he
hath
call'd
you
,
and
in
this
his
appointed
Day
caused
his
Glory
to
shine
forth
,
and
hath
visited
and
brought
us
to
the
knowledge
of
the
hidden
Mystery
of
Eternal
Salvation
,
which
Mystery
hath
been
seal'd
up
for
many
Ages
,
and
is
kept
secret
forever
,
from
the
wisdom
of
this
World
;
but
unto
us
,
that
have
believ'd
in
the
Light
of
the
World
,
are
they
clearly
discover'd
,
as
at
Noon-day
;
being
reveal'd
to
us
by
the
Spirit
which
worketh
in
us
the
Will
and
Mind
of
the
Father
,
and
is
powerful
and
mighty
,
and
subdueth
and
breaketh
down
the
Hardness
of
Hearts
,
and
through
the
working
thereof
every
high
Thought
is
brought
into
subjection
to
Jesus
:
And
this
same
Spirit
quickeneth
and
maketh
alive
to
God
,
and
changeth
and
reneweth
into
his
Image
and
Likeness
,
and
it
raiseth
up
from
under
the
Bondage
of
Corruption
,
to
live
to
God
in
all
things
in
newness
of
Life
,
old
things
being
done
away
,
and
all
things
being
made
new
through
the
working
thereof
;
and
in
this
same
Spirit
is
the
Father
alone
worshipped
,
and
by
it
God
is
known
;
and
his
Promise
is
fulfilled
,
it
witnessing
in
all
things
unto
the
Father
,
and
is
the
Earnest
of
the
Inheritance
which
fadeth
not
away
;
and
by
it
know
we
the
deep
things
of
God
,
which
the
World
by
wisdom
knoweth
not
;
and
thereby
are
we
seal'd
and
bound
up
in
Covenant
with
the
Father
:
This
is
known
to
you
that
are
Children
of
the
Light
,
and
hereof
you
have
the
Witness
in
your selves
,
and
of
God
you
are
approved
,
and
not
of
men
.
And
all
ye
my
Brethren
,
who
are
call'd
into
the
Work
and
Ministry
of
the
Gospel
,
unto
whom
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
and
the
Gospel
of
Christ
to
you
committed
;
Dwell
in
the
Life
of
God
,
and
feel
his
Power
and
Authority
,
and
live
in
the
same
Life
of
which
you
minister
to
others
,
that
you
may
bring
People
to
God
,
and
may
effectually
turn
them
from
the
dominion
of
sin
unto
the
Dominion
of
Christ
Jesus
,
People
may
be
guided
out
of
Darkness
in
the
marvellous
Light
.
Cry
aloud
,
spare
not
,
proclaim
the
Mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
in
all
the
Earth
;
and
fear
ye
not
,
neither
be
ye
dismay'd
at
the
Face
of
any
man
,
but
be
bold
and
valiant
for
the
Truth
upon
Earth
,
and
give
your
Testimony
as
you
have
receiv'd
from
God
;
and
preach
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
of
the
World
unto
all
People
,
that
they
may
receive
him
,
and
be
converted
,
and
live
:
For
Blindness
and
Darkness
hath
cover'd
the
whole
Earth
,
and
all
have
gone
astray
from
the
Lord
,
as
Sheep
without
a
Shepherd
:
Therefore
awake
ye
them
that
sleep
,
and
cause
the
Deaf
to
hear
,
and
the
Dead
to
rise
,
that
such
as
have
been
stray'd
may
be
gather'd
;
for
this
is
the
fulness
of
time
,
he
is
now
seeking
his
Sheep
that
have
been
lost
,
and
bringing
them
Home
that
have
been
stray'd
;
and
you
,
as
Instruments
in
the
Lord's
Hand
,
hath
he
chosen
into
this
Work
:
Therefore
get
on
the
Strength
of
the
Lord
,
and
preach
the
Gospel
of
Peace
,
even
the
Power
of
God
,
that
Sinners
may
be
converted
,
and
the
Wounded
healed
,
and
the
Weak
may
be
strengthned
,
and
they
that
are
ready
to
dye
may
be
restored
to
Life
and
Salvation
:
This
is
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
whereunto
you
are
called
;
therefore
all
who
unto
it
are
called
,
be
faithful
unto
the
end
,
and
not
only
by
word
,
but
by
Life
and
Conversation
also
,
hold
forth
the
Way
of
Life
:
For
you
must
feel
that
in
your selves
,
of
which
you
minister
to
others
;
and
you
must
hold
forth
the
Life
,
the
same
which
you
minister
in
words
;
and
thereby
shall
you
be
made
manifest
to
that
of
God
in
all
People
,
and
God's
Testimony
shall
answer
for
you
:
And
see
that
in
all
things
you
divide
God's
Word
aright
,
not
crying
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
nor
healing
up
the
Wound
falsly
;
but
that
true
Judgment
in
all
things
may
be
brought
forth
by
you
to
all
people
;
Judgment
to
the
Fat
,
and
Bread
to
the
Hungry
;
they
that
are
Naked
must
be
clothed
,
and
they
that
are
falsly
covered
must
be
made
bare
.
Improve
the
Gift
which
God
hath
given
you
,
to
him
only
,
and
not
unto
your selves
:
Be
not
hasty
to
utter
words
before
the
Lord
,
but
wait
for
Power
from
on
High
,
that
the
Way
of
God
unto
Salvation
may
be
faithfully
and
truly
held
forth
by
you
unto
all
people
:
And
faint
not
,
though
your
Burdens
and
Tryals
be
many
,
but
bare
all
things
patiently
:
love
not
your
lives
unto
death
,
that
the
good
Work
of
the
Lord
may
be
accomplished
,
which
he
hath
begun
by
us
,
and
made
prosperous
and
powerful
in
our
hands
unto
this
very
day
;
you
have
the
Witness
(
of
this
:
)
Our
Cause
is
good
;
we
seek
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
that
it
may
be
established
in
the
Earth
,
and
people
may
be
brought
unto
God
;
unto
this
God
hath
called
us
,
and
hath
owned
us
in
it
,
and
will
never
forsake
us
;
for
the
Work
is
his
,
and
the
Power
is
his
,
and
whatsoever
he
will
,
he
bringeth
to
pass
;
and
therefore
why
should
we
doubt
,
or
be
weary
?
For
we
shall
see
the
Travel
of
our
Souls
;
the
Scattered
shall
be
gathered
,
and
a
Remnant
of
the
Seed
shall
be
brought
in
,
which
is
scatter'd
in
every
Nation
,
as
dry
Bones
,
unable
to
live
:
How
shall
we
hide
that
Treasure
which
God
hath
given
us
,
from
them
that
perish
for
want
thereof
?
Or
,
How
shall
we
rest
satisfied
till
the
scatter'd
Sheep
be
brought
Home
to
the
Fold
?
Our
Hearts
are
troubled
to
see
so
many
Thousands
walking
in
thick
Darkness
,
and
to
see
the
Seed
of
Israel
devoured
by
the
Destroyer
.
Therefore
,
my
Brethren
,
let
us
put
on
strength
,
the
Lord
is
with
us
;
let
us
make
War
in
Righteousness
for
the
Lord
,
against
all
the
Powers
of
Darkness
;
let
us
continually
be
armed
to
do
and
to
suffer
all
things
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
that
People
may
be
instructed
in
the
right
Way
:
we
know
no
man
can
have
power
over
us
,
but
what
is
given
them
from
above
,
and
all
that
which
comes
to
pass
against
us
is
not
worthy
to
be
compared
with
the
Crown
of
Glory
,
and
that
Inheritance
of
which
we
have
already
received
the
earnest
,
and
sealed
with
the
spirit
of
Promise
,
and
the
Fathers
Name
is
written
upon
us
;
therefore
in
all
things
unto
which
he
hath
called
you
,
be
faithful
and
obedient
,
that
his
Work
may
be
accomplished
.
And
all
ye
Children
and
Babes
in
Christ
,
that
are
begotten
of
God
,
and
are
thirsting
and
seeking
after
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
he
whom
ye
seek
is
coming
to
raign
amongst
you
,
and
his
Dominion
shall
be
set
up
and
enlarged
,
and
the
desire
of
your
Hearts
shall
be
fulfilled
;
Righteousness
and
Truth
shall
meet
in
one
,
and
Judgment
and
Mercy
shall
be
exalted
.
Wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
feel
his
Power
and
his
Presence
continually
,
that
you
may
grow
as
Plants
of
Righteousness
,
and
may
partake
of
the
Heir-ship
with
Christ
,
being
crucified
to
the
World
,
and
become
dead
to
all
its
Wayes
,
and
no
more
you
to
live
,
but
Christ
to
live
in
you
;
through
the
Light
which
he
hath
lightned
you
withall
,
hath
he
given
you
an
entrance
into
the
Inheritance
of
the
Father
:
And
as
you
walk
in
the
Light
,
you
grow
into
Fellowship
with
the
Father
,
and
with
the
Son
.
Abiding
in
the
Son
you
cannot
sin
;
for
he
keeps
you
from
the
wicked
One
,
and
he
hath
no
power
over
you
that
abide
in
Christ
,
who
is
the
Power
of
God
,
which
is
the
Salvation
of
all
that
believe
,
and
a
Condemnation
of
all
that
believe
not
:
therefore
all
you
that
are
convinced
everywhere
,
hearken
to
the
Voice
of
the
Lord
,
that
your
Souls
may
live
:
and
mind
the
Power
of
God
,
and
the
workings
thereof
in
your
Hearts
,
which
conquereth
Hell
and
Death
,
and
subdueth
all
the
Powers
and
Wayes
thereof
:
and
every
one
be
obedient
to
the
Lord
,
as
Children
of
one
Father
,
that
of
his
fulness
you
may
receive
,
and
be
filled
therewith
:
and
meet
together
in
every
Place
;
and
as
the
Day
approacheth
exhort
one
another
,
that
you
may
grow
up
in
Unity
as
Members
of
one
Head
:
and
mind
always
the
Testimony
of
Truth
its
self
,
and
walk
therein
,
and
you
cannot
stumble
:
Have
not
respect
to
Persons
,
but
to
the
Truth
only
;
for
Persons
may
change
,
but
the
Truth
abides
for
ever
:
So
let
not
an
evil
Eye
look
at
Evil
,
when
it
comes
to
pass
,
to
take
occasion
thereby
against
the
Truth
;
for
then
you
stumble
and
fall
:
but
I
say
again
,
have
respect
only
to
the
pure
Testimony
of
Truth
which
is
sure
,
and
cannot
err
nor
alter
,
though
man
may
change
and
err
;
and
that
is
the
Testimony
which
is
held
forth
for
Salvation
,
evon
the
Testimony
of
God
,
with
whom
there
is
no
shaddow
of
turning
:
Therefore
all
take
heed
unto
your selves
,
that
you
give
not
,
nor
receive
any
offence
against
the
Lord
,
and
against
your
own
souls
;
but
know
the
Seed
of
God
,
in
which
stands
the
Election
,
where
the
Covenant
of
God
is
sure
,
and
unalterable
:
and
a
Birth
you
must
all
know
to
be
brought
forth
in
you
,
which
must
inherit
,
and
that
is
it
which
is
born
of
the
Spirit
,
which
doth
obtain
the
Promise
;
it
is
not
that
birth
which
is
of
the
Flesh
,
which
works
by
willing
,
and
running
,
and
thinking
;
that
obtains
not
the
Promise
of
God
,
neither
is
Salvation
shewed
unto
it
,
but
in
Patience
,
and
in
Long-suffering
is
the
Victory
received
,
over
all
the
Powers
of
Darkness
,
which
make
war
against
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
So
all
Friends
,
dwell
in
that
which
lets
you
see
before
the
World
was
,
and
that
stops
and
limits
all
Strife
in
the
mind
,
and
gives
you
victory
over
it
:
and
none
must
glory
in
the
Flesh
,
for
that
glory
must
be
confounded
;
but
let
him
that
glories
,
glory
in
the
Lord
,
in
the
Spirit
,
and
not
in
the
Flesh
:
And
take
heed
that
none
of
you
abuse
your
liberty
,
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
neither
turn
it
into
fleshly
Bondage
,
and
thereby
the
Just
comes
to
suffer
,
and
the
fleshly
part
comes
to
rule
above
the
Seed
of
God
;
but
dwell
in
the
Cross
which
suppresseth
every
high
Thought
,
and
whatsoever
is
against
God
,
in
the
first
motion
;
and
thereby
you
will
be
preserved
from
the
Enemy
,
which
watcheth
for
Evil
against
you
,
and
seeks
occasion
against
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
but
mind
that
which
keeps
you
pure
;
for
it
is
the
pure
in
Heart
,
that
sees
God
,
and
it
is
him
that
is
of
clean
Hands
,
and
of
a
pure
Heart
,
that
inherits
God's
holy
Mountain
:
And
as
concerning
all
your
Afflictions
,
and
Sufferings
,
and
Tryals
,
and
Persecutions
;
and
whatsoever
is
laid
upon
you
by
the
Lord
,
or
by
Men
;
I
say
,
bear
all
things
patiently
,
and
endure
all
things
in
Long-suffering
;
these
things
are
but
for
a
moment
,
and
they
are
not
worthy
to
be
compared
with
the
Price
of
God's
Inheritance
;
and
if
you
dwell
in
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
all
these
things
will
be
turned
unto
your
good
;
in
all
Tryals
and
Sufferings
,
the
Lord's
Arm
will
be
revealed
,
and
these
things
must
come
to
pass
,
that
Truth
may
appear
in
its
beauty
,
in
Victory
over
all
that
which
doth
oppose
it
,
and
vengance
is
the
Lord's
,
and
he
will
repay
;
for
he
doth
enquire
after
our
Blood
,
though
no
man
lay
it
to
heart
,
or
consider
the
cause
,
or
unjust
Sufferings
of
the
Innocent
,
who
are
become
a
Prey
to
the
Ungodly
,
and
unjust
Men
,
till
God
arise
to
plead
our
Cause
:
And
all
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
are
but
for
to
try
,
and
prove
;
they
are
not
to
confound
or
destroy
the
Lord's
People
,
and
therefore
in
patience
they
must
be
born
,
and
the
Life
of
God
felt
,
which
gives
Dominion
over
all
these
things
:
And
receiving
all
things
as
from
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
then
in
all
things
your
Peace
will
remain
,
and
God's
Testimony
will
witness
Peace
and
acceptance
with
God
.
And
of
all
Injustice
,
and
Abuses
and
Cruelty
acted
upon
you
by
any
,
at
any
time
,
keep
account
of
it
,
and
draw
it
up
in
short
and
plain
words
,
the
occasion
and
manner
of
it
,
and
at
every
Quarter
Sessions
,
let
a
true
Declaration
of
all
unjust
Sufferings
be
presented
in
prudency
and
singleness
of
heart
to
the
Justices
,
or
Grand-Jury
,
by
such
as
are
wise
and
faithful
;
and
appeal
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
them
in
such
Causes
,
that
that
of
God
in
all
Men
may
witness
for
us
.
Let
this
be
done
,
as
cause
is
seen
,
at
every
Sessions
,
in
the
Wisdom
and
Authority
of
God
,
that
in
all
things
Justice
and
true
Judgment
may
be
sought
after
,
and
in
Patience
waited
for
,
till
the
Lord
alone
,
our
King
,
and
Judge
,
and
Law-giver
,
comes
to
reign
over
all
his
Enemies
;
when
all
that
now
suffer
for
him
,
shall
reign
with
him
.

most

precious

who

the

about

who

The
Salutation
in
the
Father's
Love
,
by
me
a
Brother
and
Companion
unto
all
the
Children
of
Sion
,
and
chiefly
unto
you
a
Friend
in
Heart
;
and
nothing
more
desiring
for
you
,
then
your
encrease
in
God
,
and
that
Grace
,
Peace
,
Love
and
Fellowship
from
the
infinite
Father
of
Heaven
and
Earth
may
be
largely
encreased
,
and
aboundantly
multiplied
amongst
you
,
and
in
all
your
hearts
,
that
you
may
shine
forth
in
the
Beauty
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Garment
of
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
may
be
spread
over
you
all
;
and
that
the
Spirit
of
Holiness
may
rest
upon
you
,
that
the
fruit
thereof
may
greatly
abound
in
you
,
and
spring
forth
from
you
,
whereby
the
Father
,
who
hath
begotten
you
,
may
be
glorified
through
the
Nation
,
and
among
his
Saints
through
the
World
;
and
my
Soul
wisheth
,
that
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
be
amongst
you
,
and
his
terror
upon
all
your
Enemies
,
Amen
.
DEarly
Beloved
,
and
much
desired
after
in
the
Lord
,
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
in
upon
me
,
to
put
you
in
remembrance
of
these
things
of
the
greatest
price
,
which
belong
unto
your
Peace
,
which
have
been
hid
from
you
in
the
time
of
Darkness
,
but
now
are
reveal'd
unto
you
,
whereof
your
Eyes
have
seen
,
your
Ears
have
heard
,
your
Hands
have
handled
,
and
your
Hearts
have
perceived
;
and
now
be
not
unmindful
thereof
,
but
take
heed
unto
the
precious
Treasure
of
Life
Eternal
,
which
the
Father
hath
given
unto
you
;
I
mean
,
the
Knowledge
of
himself
,
who
is
manifest
to
dwell
in
you
,
and
to
walk
in
you
,
and
to
lead
you
,
and
to
guide
in
all
his
Wayes
of
Peace
and
Truth
;
and
this
is
that
Treasure
more
desirable
,
and
of
greater
price
then
the
Glory
of
the
whole
Earth
;
yea
,
it
is
Peace
to
the
soul
,
and
Gladness
to
the
heart
,
and
Refreshment
to
the
life
,
to
feel
and
witness
the
Teaching
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
leading
into
all
Truth
,
and
preserving
out
of
all
Transgression
.
Wherefore
I
beseech
you
all
,
let
this
be
your
whole
desire
,
and
the
full
practice
in
your
life
;
and
then
shall
the
Countenance
of
the
Lord
shine
upon
you
,
and
his
Face
shall
make
you
glad
,
if
in
all
things
you
look
unto
him
for
Counsel
,
and
wait
upon
the
teaching
of
his
Spirit
,
which
dwelleth
in
you
,
which
the
Father
hath
given
unto
you
,
because
you
are
his
Children
;
and
this
he
requireth
from
you
,
that
his
own
Spirit
in
you
,
which
hath
begotten
you
,
may
be
the
root
and
moving
cause
of
all
your
works
and
words
,
and
herein
will
you
receive
acceptance
with
him
,
and
Peace
from
him
,
and
righteousness
in
him
,
and
everlasting
joy
by
him
continually
;
and
and
this
is
the
Inheritance
unto
which
you
were
begotten
Heirs
to
possess
for
ever
:
wherefore
let
your
love
,
unity
and
felloship
be
in
the
Spirit
,
and
let
your
Knowledge
,
Judgment
,
Meeting
,
and
Waiting
be
in
the
Spirit
,
and
let
your
ministring
and
receiving
be
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
in
the
Spirit
,
and
so
shall
you
never
suffer
loss
nor
condemnation
;
but
all
your
works
shall
abide
the
Fire
,
and
shall
not
be
consumed
when
the
tryal
of
all
things
come
,
and
the
Foundation
of
every
work
is
discovered
:
And
I
say
again
,
if
the
Spirit
of
Life
,
even
the
Spirit
which
quickens
to
God
,
the
second
Adam
,
who
is
the
quicking
Spirit
be
your
Guide
,
your
Leader
and
Teacher
in
all
things
,
then
you
shall
have
perfect
Peace
with
God
,
and
your
Fellowship
will
be
encreased
,
and
his
Presence
shall
go
before
you
,
and
his
Righteousness
shall
be
your
Justification
,
and
Desence
,
and
his
Covenant
of
Life
and
Peace
shall
be
confirm'd
unto
you
;
and
there
shall
be
no
more
going
forth
,
but
the
Tabernacle
of
God
shall
remain
with
you
alwayes
,
and
his
Habitation
shall
be
in
you
forever
,
and
the
Promise
of
the
Father
shall
be
sealed
unto
you
,
and
his
Mark
,
and
express
Image
written
in
your
Fore-heads
;
and
that
quickning
shall
live
in
you
,
and
not
you
unto
your selves
,
and
hereby
shall
all
know
that
he
is
your
God
,
who
liveth
in
you
in
Power
and
Dominion
,
and
that
you
are
his
People
who
liveth
unto
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
this
is
the
Covenant
and
the
Promise
to
be
waited
for
by
you
all
,
that
you
may
be
married
to
the
Lord
in
Righteousness
and
Loving-kindness
,
and
your
Maker
may
be
your
Husband
,
and
you
subjected
under
his
Power
,
to
rule
over
you
,
and
to
govern
you
in
the
Way
of
Peace
.
And
now
,
dearly
Beloved
,
mind
that
Word
of
God
which
hath
begotten
you
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
to
be
Heirs
of
his
Inheritance
of
Life
;
and
feel
the
Word
which
is
quick
and
powerfull
dwell
in
your
hearts
,
alwayes
dividing
in
you
betwixt
the
precious
and
the
vile
,
and
as
a
Hammer
,
and
a
Fire
,
alwayes
beating
down
,
and
burning
up
that
ground
and
fruit
which
is
in
the
disobedience
,
from
which
the
cause
of
Condemnation
doth
spring
,
and
so
shall
you
be
saved
from
every
appearance
of
evil
,
&
shall
not
be
overcome
thereby
,
nor
led
captive
at
the
will
of
the
Enemy
,
but
shall
be
saved
from
Sin
,
and
the
Wages
thereof
,
and
no
condemnation
shall
be
unto
you
,
if
your
hearts
be
kept
clean
,
and
undefiled
,
by
the
Word
of
God
which
is
pure
,
and
sanctifieth
,
and
is
but
one
in
all
his
Children
,
and
it
begetteth
unto
one
Life
,
and
to
be
of
one
Mind
and
Soul
,
and
by
it
only
dwelling
in
the
Heart
,
is
the
encrease
of
God
received
,
though
by
the
ministring
of
it
,
one
may
Plant
,
and
another
may
Water
,
yet
it
is
my
Father
that
gives
the
encrease
,
who
is
greater
then
all
,
unto
whom
the
Ends
of
the
Earth
must
look
for
Salvation
,
and
unto
him
must
you
all
look
for
to
pertake
of
encrease
,
of
his
hidden
Treasure
daily
,
that
you
may
be
refreshed
as
the
Heritage
which
he
hath
chosen
,
and
may
grow
therein
,
as
Plants
planted
by
his
own
right
Hand
,
growing
from
strength
to
strength
in
him
,
and
renewing
your
strength
in
him
,
and
may
not
fain
,
nor
be
weary
.
And
forasmuch
,
as
mighty
hath
been
the
Power
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
amongst
you
,
and
his
Love
great
unto
you
,
and
caused
his
voice
to
be
heard
,
when
you
were
Dead
to
raise
you
unto
Life
,
and
many
of
you
have
had
the
taste
and
feeling
thereof
,
who
have
seen
the
Way
of
Life
before
your
face
,
that
you
should
walk
therein
,
and
live
:
I
do
warn
you
all
in
the
Name
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
therein
to
continue
unto
the
end
,
having
your
Faith
established
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
your
building
standing
on
that
true
Foundation
which
can
never
be
moved
nor
shaken
;
but
that
perfect
victory
over
Death
,
and
the
Grave
,
and
the
powers
of
Darkness
may
be
trodden
down
through
the
obedience
of
the
Cross
,
whereby
victory
is
obtained
over
all
the
World
,
and
the
Affections
and
Lusts
thereof
condemned
;
but
such
as
goeth
from
the
Cross
,
perceiveth
not
the
Power
of
God
,
neither
can
overcome
,
but
are
overcome
of
the
Enemy
,
and
shipwrack
is
made
of
Faith
,
Truth
,
and
a
good
Conscience
,
and
the
latter
end
of
such
is
worse
then
their
beginning
;
for
the
Lord
is
dishonoured
,
and
their
condemnation
will
be
great
.
Wherefore
,
my
Friends
be
watchfull
,
and
be
armed
with
the
strength
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
feel
his
strength
in
you
to
resist
the
wicked
One
,
that
he
may
not
touch
you
,
to
betray
you
of
your
Life
and
Peace
,
and
bring
you
into
condemnation
;
for
I
am
not
ignorant
of
the
many
temptations
which
are
near
unto
you
in
that
place
:
Wherefore
I
say
again
,
feel
the
Strength
and
Arm
of
God
reaching
to
you
,
by
which
you
may
do
all
things
;
and
dwell
in
his
Life
and
Power
,
and
that
ye
may
overcome
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
by
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
and
then
will
your
Peace
be
encreased
,
and
your
Fellowship
with
God
;
and
Angels
shall
minister
unto
you
,
as
you
overcome
the
Enemy
,
which
would
subvert
your
minds
from
the
obedience
to
the
Truth
,
and
then
your
rest
in
God
will
be
sweet
unto
you
,
as
you
dwell
where
nothing
can
make
afraid
,
Sin
and
Transgression
being
removed
far
from
you
,
not
having
a
place
in
you
,
but
the
Life
reigning
which
Satan
hath
nothing
in
;
and
this
is
the
freedom
of
the
Sons
of
God
,
who
are
redeemed
unto
him
,
to
live
in
him
,
who
being
dead
to
sin
,
cannot
live
any
longer
therein
;
but
are
washed
and
separated
from
all
the
works
of
Death
;
Death
having
lost
his
sting
,
it
cannot
hurt
nor
wound
you
;
and
the
Grave
having
lost
its
victory
,
it
cannot
overcome
you
who
do
witness
this
;
for
Transgression
is
hid
,
and
Iniquity
is
put
under
,
and
Life
it self
reigns
through
Righteousness
over
all
;
and
here
the
Seed
is
brought
forth
,
in
which
there
is
no
Iniquity
seen
,
nor
Transgression
charged
against
it
,
for
it
sins
not
;
but
rules
over
the
Sinner
,
and
fulfils
the
righteous
Law
of
God
,
and
doth
his
Will
in
all
things
;
and
for
this
you
must
all
wait
to
feel
God's
Promise
perfectly
fulfill'd
in
you
,
and
sealed
unto
you
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
.
And
again
,
Friends
,
feel
the
Life
of
God
in
your
own
particulars
,
even
the
Bread
of
Life
which
comes
down
from
Heaven
,
which
nourisheth
the
Birth
which
is
immortal
unto
eternal
Life
,
never
to
taste
of
death
,
and
therein
have
Fellowship
in
the
Covenant
of
Life
,
and
be
at
peace
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
;
for
that
is
blessed
of
the
Lord
,
where
Brethren
dwell
in
unity
,
shewing
love
,
kindness
and
subjection
one
to
another
,
being
of
one
spirit
,
and
like-minded
,
serving
one
another
in
love
,
not
exalting
your selves
,
nor
accounting
your
selves
above
another
,
for
that
must
come
down
with
shame
;
but
every
one
approve
your selves
to
God
in
all
things
,
and
be
known
to
him
,
and
not
unto
the
World
;
but
let
his
Spirit
witness
for
you
,
and
approve
you
,
and
not
man
;
and
the
work
of
the
Spirit
springing
through
you
let
be
the
Evidence
unto
all
people
,
that
you
are
by
Grace
what
you
are
;
and
this
is
well-pleasing
unto
God
,
that
his
Spirit
witnesseth
for
you
,
and
that
Love
,
Unity
and
Humility
be
amongst
you
;
and
none
think
of
themselves
above
what
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
witnesseth
,
and
worketh
in
them
,
and
this
a
sweet
savour
will
be
amongst
you
to
the
Lord
,
you
being
kept
in
his
Wisdom
and
Counsel
,
in
good
order
,
and
subject
unto
him
,
walking
as
Examples
of
Righteousness
,
to
edifie
one
another
,
and
to
be
a
strength
one
to
another
;
and
in
all
your
Conversations
to
be
manifest
to
God's
Witness
in
all
people
;
and
thus
shall
you
have
praise
of
God
,
and
be
approved
of
him
,
and
he
will
justifie
you
in
the
sight
of
all
your
Enemies
:
I
write
this
unto
the
Faithfull
who
do
not
minister
Self
,
but
Self
your
Servant
for
Jesus
sake
.
And
as
concerning
disorderly
spirits
,
who
are
not
subject
to
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
nor
to
the
Law
or
Christ
,
such
have
no
part
with
us
,
but
are
judged
with
the
Life
of
God
,
and
cast
out
;
and
such
as
are
not
faithfull
in
the
Lord's
Treasure
,
and
hear
the
Word
,
but
do
it
not
,
having
the
words
,
without
power
,
and
hold
the
Truth
in
unrighteous
,
such
have
no
reward
in
God
,
but
their
iniquity
stands
uncovered
,
and
their
transgression
is
manifest
,
and
not
hid
;
for
Death
reigns
through
disobedience
,
and
they
are
not
circumcised
in
heart
,
but
live
in
the
flesh
and
their
portion
is
of
this
World
,
and
the
Inheritance
of
Life
is
not
their
Heirship
;
for
the
birth
which
should
inherit
is
not
brought
forth
,
but
an
untimely
birth
,
which
receiveth
not
the
Possession
of
Life
.
But
,
Friends
,
dwell
in
the
dominion
over
such
,
and
in
peace
abov●
them
,
and
be
not
troubled
,
but
believe
in
the
Truth
,
and
bear
all
things
patiently
,
and
be
not
offended
in
Christ
,
though
hitherto
you
have
seen
occasion
of
stumbling
,
yet
the
Lord
will
remove
them
,
and
the
Path
of
Life
hath
been
plain
before
you
;
for
to
such
as
walk
in
the
Light
,
there
is
no
occasion
of
stumbling
,
but
Offences
are
seen
through
,
and
beyond
,
and
the
ground
thereof
judged
;
and
therefore
be
diligent
in
the
Work
of
God
;
that
is
his
Work
which
his
Spirit
calleth
you
unto
,
and
that
is
his
Worship
which
his
Spirit
leads
you
in
,
which
exerciseth
your
hearts
always
to
God
;
and
keep
your
Meetings
in
the
dread
of
the
Lord
over
all
your
Enemies
,
that
the
Weak
may
be
strengthned
,
and
the
Lambs
sed
;
and
watch
over
one
another
,
as
the
Family
of
God
,
among
whom
his
dwelling
is
who
is
the
good
Shepherd
,
that
keeps
his
Flook
,
and
feedeth
them
into
eternal
Life
,
whose
Presence
and
Arm
be
amongst
you
for
evermore
:
Feel
Christ
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
God
to
reign
in
you
,

and

Defendant

FRIENDS
,
THE
Innocency
and
Truth
of
my
Cause
doth
lift
up
its
Head
unto
all
People
,
and
stands
justified
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
all
just
Men
;
and
in
Justice
and
Righteousness
it
cannot
be
con●emned
,
or
judged
guilty
by
any
man
:
And
it
is
upon
me
yet
once
●ore
,
to
state
it
before
you
,
that
you
,
and
all
men
may
see
the
counte●ance
and
favour
thereof
,
for
it
dares
shew
its
Face
unto
you
,
and
all
●eople
,
though
much
already
hath
been
written
and
spoken
about
it
,
which
you
have
not
taken
notice
of
(
as
you
ought
to
have
done
)
but
●et
many
are
informed
in
the
truth
of
the
matter
,
and
what
hath
been
●poken
is
not
in
vain
,
though
my
just
Cause
lies
always
at
the
Stake
,
and
hardly
thought
upon
by
you
,
and
vilified
,
and
evil
spoken
of
before
you
●y
my
Adversary
,
who
alwayes
seeks
false
Judgment
against
me
,
to
●stifie
himself
in
his
iniquity
,
and
to
condemn
the
Guiltless
:
But
the
Lord
knows
,
and
just
Men
know
,
and
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
Consciences
may
shew
you
,
That
I
have
not
wronged
Richard
Mayo
,
●or
spoken
of
him
any
thing
,
saving
the
truth
,
and
because
thereof
;
●nd
without
any
other
Cause
,
am
I
thus
prosecuted
by
him
,
in
his
●leading
before
you
,
and
begging
of
you
for
false
Judgment
;
which
,
if
●e
should
obtain
it
,
and
you
should
give
it
,
yet
should
I
be
clear
in
the
●ight
of
the
Lord
,
though
by
you
I
may
deeply
suffer
:
And
your
own
●nrighteous
Judgment
(
if
it
proceed
from
you
)
will
return
one
day
upon
your
own
heads
,
and
the
weight
of
your
own
Iniquity
shall
the
Lord
●ay
upon
your
own
Consciences
,
in
the
Day
when
he
judges
the
secrets
of
all
Hearts
:
And
to
God
I
have
appealed
in
this
thing
,
who
justifieth
me
,
because
of
Truth
;
and
then
who
shall
condemn
me
,
while
Truth
is
on
my
side
,
and
I
not
convinced
to
the
contrary
?
Therefore
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
I
say
unto
you
,
Take
heed
what
you
do
in
this
Matter
;
but
deal
impartially
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
Examination
thereof
;
and
try
,
whether
I
have
spoken
the
Truth
,
or
whether
I
have
spoken
Falsly
;
and
hearken
to
my
PLEA
,
which
I
have
often
asserted
before
you
,
and
do
yet
once
more
lay
before
your
view
;
and
I
do
appeal
to
the
Light
of
your
Consciences
,
and
let
that
justifie
me
,
or
condemn
me
.
And
this
I
testifie
,
as
my
sufficient
Plea
,
unto
you
(
which
no
man
hath
truly
answered
before
you
)
That
I
have
spoken
nothing
but
the
Truth
of
Richard
Mayo
,
my
Adversary
;
to
this
I
stand
to
be
justified
;
and
if
I
be
condemned
,
it
is
for
this
;
this
resteth
with
me
forever
;
and
if
I
fall
,
I
f●…
for
it
(
viz.
)
For
speaking
the
Truth
;
and
if
I
stand
,
I
stand
by
it
,
and
no
man
whatsoever
can
convince
me
to
the
contrary
;
and
hereof
am
I
invincible
,
and
if
you
condemn
me
for
this
(
to
wit
)
For
speaking
the
Truth
,
it
will
be
upon
you
,
and
I
am
clear
.
And
this
is
my
only
Plea
,
which
I
have
often
,
and
may
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
alwayes
clearly
demonstrate
:
and
I
do
indeed
wave
all
the
multitude
of
Arguments
that
have
been
,
or
can
be
made
,
by
the
Lawyers
in
this
Business
;
and
not
by
words
of
man's
wisdom
,
but
by
Truth
must
I
be
justified
.
And
I
do
here
again
return
to
my
first
manner
of
proceeding
,
and
stand
to
the
naked
simplicity
of
Truth
,
and
I
have
no
other
defence
to
shelter
under
,
neither
do
I
chuse
any
,
nor
no
other
Weapon
to
resist
my
Enemy
with
,
but
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
Truth
;
and
if
Truth
will
not
justifie
me
,
I
will
not
be
justified
;
and
if
it
will
conde●…
me
,
my
Mouth
shall
be
stopped
;
for
,
by
the
Truth
I
stand
,
and
if
I
fall
,
fall
for
it
in
this
matter
:
and
therefore
you
my
Judges
,
patiently
hear
few
words
again
,
as
to
the
beginning
of
the
matter
betwixt
Richard
Mayo
and
me
,
which
is
thus
,
He
sent
for
me
by
a
Messenger
to
come
to
him
,
an●
being
come
to
him
,
he
challenged
me
to
speak
what
I
had
against
him
and
again
under
his
own
hand
he
challenged
me
to
dispute
,
either
in
publique
,
or
private
with
him
;
and
he
again
bad
me
call
him
Deceiver
if
I
durst
:
and
upon
all
these
four
particular
Invitations
and
Challenges
,
and
also
knowing
him
to
be
guilty
,
as
I
am
still
able
to
prove
,
I
did
say
to
him
,
That
he
held
forth
Damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
,
and
that
he
was
a
Deceiver
;
and
this
was
the
beginning
of
the
Controversie
:
Whereby
I
would
have
you
to
take
notice
,
how
Unrighteously
he
hath
dealt
with
me
;
first
to
invite
me
,
and
challenge
me
several
times
;
and
then
for
speaking
the
Truth
of
him
(
which
I
am
able
to
prove
)
to
Arrest
me
,
Imprison
me
,
and
thus
to
prosecute
me
:
Is
not
this
Unchristian-like
,
and
not
like
a
Minister
of
Christ
?
And
this
I
proved
in
your
Court
,
His
challenging
of
me
:
And
also
I
have
manifested
divers
particular
Saying
of
his
,
which
do
appear
to
all
sober
men
to
be
damnable
Doctrine
,
and
Error
.
And
for
the
manifesting
of
my
innocent
Cause
further
,
and
that
you
may
know
,
that
you
ought
not
to
condemn
me
(
neither
c●…
you
with
a
safe
and
good
Conscience
in
the
sight
of
God
)
and
to
lay
the
Truth
as
plainly
as
I
can
before
you
;
therefore
I
do
here
insert
the
particulars
to
you
again
,
which
I
proved
in
the
open
Court
against
Richard
Mayo
,
which
I
do
say
is
damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
,
all
,
or
some
of
them
at
least
.
-
1.
That
Paul
,
as
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
exhorted
Saints
(
the
Corinthians
)
to
follow
and
obey
a
Light
,
which
was
not
Christ
,
nor
the
Light
of
the
Gospel
.
-
2.
He
did
exhort
the
people
of
Kingstone
,
as
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
in
his
Preaching
to
them
,
To
follow
and
obey
a
Light
,
which
(
said
he
)
is
not
Christ
,
nor
the
Light
of
the
Gospel
.
-
3.
He
said
,
That
a
man
may
be
a
Righteous
Man
,
and
not
a
Godly
Man
,
without
distinction
.
-
4.
Also
at
another
time
before
that
,
Richard
Mayo
affirmed
,
That
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
every
man
is
lightened
withal
,
John
1.
9.
is
Carnal
,
and
Darkness
.
-
5.
He
did
affirm
under
his
own
hand
,
That
Christ
was
not
the
Word
that
David
walked
by
.
-
6.
He
affirmed
,
That
the
Devil
is
the
Power
of
God
.
-
7.
He
affirmed
,
That
the
Gospel
is
not
the
Power
of
God
,
no
more
then
a
Rose
Cake
is
;
which
he
laid
his
hand
on
in
the
Window
,
at
that
present
of
his
so
saying
.
-
8.
He
affirmed
,
If
one
man
murder
another
,
he
did
it
by
the
Power
of
God
.
Now
hereby
it
may
appear
to
you
(
if
you
do
not
wilfully
harden
your selves
against
the
Truth
,
and
the
Righteousness
of
my
Cause
)
that
I
have
done
Richard
Mayo
no
Wrong
,
only
I
have
spoken
the
truth
of
him
:
I
said
,
He
held
forth
damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
;
which
saying
is
truth
,
and
I
had
a
good
Cause
to
speak
it
;
for
he
invited
and
challenged
me
divers
times
to
speak
it
:
and
then
,
when
this
is
considered
by
you
,
let
your
Consciences
judge
what
wrong
I
have
done
him
;
seeing
it
doth
appear
,
I
have
spoken
the
truth
of
him
,
and
had
good
Reason
so
to
do
.
Ye
my
Judges
,
at
whose
Door
my
Cause
(
which
is
Innocent
)
lies
despised
,
and
ready
to
be
condemned
,
come
but
to
plainness
and
honesty
in
your
own
hearts
,
and
be
not
passionate
towards
me
;
but
use
Meekness
,
and
let
the
Sincerity
of
your
hearts
tell
me
,
whether
I
have
lyed
,
or
spoken
truth
:
But
if
you
do
the
worst
that
can
be
done
against
me
,
I
must
,
and
have
already
committed
my
Cause
to
God
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
he
will
avenge
my
Cause
,
and
recompence
my
Adversaries
in
his
Season
.
Now
again
consider
,
If
Richard
Mayo
did
make
his
Invitations
to
me
,
on
purpose
to
ensnare
me
(
as
it
may
be
justly
supposed
that
he
did
)
that
he
might
have
occasion
to
execute
his
Malice
upon
me
;
then
you
ought
not
to
give
Judgment
against
me
,
and
to
be
his
Executioners
;
for
,
if
he
hath
laid
his
Plot
to
ensnare
me
,
how
can
you
justly
give
him
power
over
me
?
And
he
hath
no
power
over
me
,
except
you
give
it
him
by
unjust
Judgment
;
and
you
can
but
give
him
power
over
my
Body
;
for
my
Spirit
is
at
Liberty
,
and
in
dominion
over
you
and
him
;
because
I
have
the
Truth
on
my
side
,
and
it
is
hard
for
you
to
strive
against
that
;
for
it
cannot
be
buried
;
but
the
Truth
of
my
Cause
will
alwayes
live
to
vex
its
Opposers
.
But
and
if
his
Challenges
to
me
were
not
to
insnare
me
,
but
for
Information
(
supposing
himself
to
have
been
clear
from
all
damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
)
then
he
had
done
well
to
have
owned
my
words
as
a
Reproof
,
and
to
have
repented
,
and
not
to
have
held
forth
any
more
such
Doctrine
:
And
you
ought
not
,
for
my
reproving
him
,
to
condemn
me
;
for
,
r
eproving
any
man
for
Evil
ought
not
to
be
condemned
;
Good
Men
will
not
do
it
,
neither
would
he
(
were
he
not
an
ungodly
man
)
prosecute
me
thus
violently
,
and
thus
continually
beg
your
Judgment
of
100
l.
against
me
,
for
reproving
of
him
,
and
declaring
against
his
false
doctrine
,
which
he
delivers
to
the
people
;
when
as
himself
invited
me
to
speak
to
him
:
And
the
Lord
knows
,
the
Souls
of
people
are
so
dear
to
me
,
that
where
I
hear
false
doctrine
held
forth
,
which
would
destroy
the
innocent
Souls
,
I
cannot
but
reprove
it
,
lest
people
receive
false
Dostrine
for
true
,
to
the
Destruction
of
their
own
Souls
;
and
upon
that
account
I
spoke
in
this
Cause
.
Wherefore
take
you
into
Consideration
,
what
Richard
Mayo's
End
was
in
inviting
me
;
and
do
not
you
fulfil
his
evil
purpose
,
which
I
believe
,
if
he
had
power
over
me
,
would
execute
his
farthest
Cruelty
upon
me
;
I
have
good
Reason
to
believe
it
;
for
many
cruel
threatning
words
have
proceeded
from
him
already
against
me
;
but
the
Lord
can
deliver
me
from
them
all
;
but
if
he
will
not
,
He
will
give
me
Patience
to
bear
it
,
whatsoever
is
suffer'd
to
come
to
me
.
But
if
any
shall
doubt
,
and
cannot
receive
these
things
,
and
believe
,
that
these
particulars
are
damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
,
as
they
are
laid
down
in
themselves
;
and
if
what
is
spoken
already
be
not
sufficient
,
I
may
upon
any
just
Opportunity
,
prove
unto
you
,
and
unto
all
men
,
in
the
sight
of
my
Enemies
,
That
these
particulars
held
forth
by
Richard
Mayo
,
and
alledged
by
me
before
you
,
are
damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
:
And
if
I
could
be
convinced
to
the
contrary
by
him
,
or
any
man
,
in
sober
Arguments
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
if
he
shall
be
able
to
prove
that
these
things
are
true
,
and
found
and
saving
Doctrines
,
then
may
I
confess
,
That
I
have
wronged
him
,
which
never
can
be
done
:
Therefore
can
I
never
confess
(
without
lying
against
my
Conscience
)
that
I
have
wronged
him
;
but
God
justifies
me
,
and
just
Men
,
and
my
own
Conscience
excuses
me
from
all
wrong
in
this
matter
;
and
here
,
or
hereafter
,
shall
you
and
he
know
it
also
,
that
I
am
without
Offence
to
him
in
this
Cause
.
And
if
I
suffer
,
be
it
upon
you
that
are
my
Judges
,
and
the
Guilt
of
my
Sufferings
will
be
upon
you
one
day
.
For
,
for
the
Truth
's
sake
am
I
not
afraid
nor
ashamed
to
suffer
whatsoever
you
lay
upon
me
.
And
whereas
it
is
chiefly
pleaded
by
my
Adversary
,
and
his
Council
,
That
he
is
damnified
,
and
much
endangered
,
by
the
speaking
of
my
words
:
And
because
I
said
,
He
held
forth
damnable
Doctrine
;
Therefore
(
say
they
)
he
is
in
danger
to
lose
his
Place
,
and
so
He
,
and
his
Wife
,
and
Family
cannot
tell
how
to
live
,
&c.
These
things
they
plead
,
and
upon
this
account
beg
Judgment
against
me
,
because
he
is
,
or
may
be
in
danger
to
be
damnified
.
To
this
I
reply
,
and
Friends
,
I
would
have
you
to
consider
,
He
hath
not
yet
proved
to
you
the
Dammage
of
the
value
of
Two
Pence
,
nor
is
he
in
any
outward
Estate
worse
,
by
loss
of
any
thing
outwardly
,
by
any
thing
that
I
have
spoken
;
and
it
is
unjust
to
condemn
me
in
an
100
l.
upon
supposed
Danger
and
Dammage
,
which
may
come
,
while
as
he
hath
sustained
none
at
present
.
And
further
I
say
unto
you
,
I
have
had
no
Intentions
of
Evil
against
him
,
nor
Purpose
in
my
heart
,
to
endanger
or
damnifie
him
in
any
outward
thing
,
God
is
my
Witness
;
but
that
nakedly
and
simply
I
spoke
the
Truth
of
him
:
And
if
speaking
the
Truth
to
him
doth
endanger
him
,
and
damnifie
him
,
according
as
they
plead
,
then
is
he
a
bad
man
,
and
an
evil
person
,
and
not
well
worthy
of
your
taking
part
with
him
,
if
you
be
just
Men
(
as
yet
I
k●…w
nothing
to
the
contrary
)
nor
worthy
of
giving
your
Judgment
against
me
for
him
:
If
the
speaking
Truth
to
him
can
so
endanger
him
,
then
consider
you
what
a
man
he
is
;
for
speaking
of
the
Truth
can
never
hurt
an
honest
Man
,
nor
damnifie
a
good
Man
;
for
honest
Men
rejoyce
in
the
Truth
,
and
the
speaking
of
it
is
an
Honour
to
them
:
But
the
speaking
the
truth
may
indeed
damnifie
a
bad
Person
,
as
to
discover
his
Wickedness
,
and
to
prevent
him
of
more
Wickedness
,
which
he
may
intend
;
but
speaking
the
truth
cannot
damnifie
a
good
Man
.
And
if
it
be
so
,
that
Richard
Mayo
(
because
of
his
badness
)
be
damnified
by
my
speaking
the
Truth
to
him
;
must
I
therefore
be
condemned
for
speaking
Truth
,
or
ought
you
to
do
it
?
Let
that
of
God
in
you
answer
:
Will
you
justifie
his
false
doctrines
,
and
condemn
me
for
reproving
him
?
Did
ever
any
good
Men
,
or
just
Iudges
of
old
,
condemn
any
man
for
speaking
the
Truth
?
Or
will
you
shame
your selves
in
the
sight
of
Wise-men
,
by
acting
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
?
Which
,
if
you
do
condemn
me
for
speaking
the
truth
,
I
do
,
and
must
tell
you
(
while
I
live
)
That
your
Iudgment
is
Unjust
,
and
you
act
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
,
and
are
Unrighteous
Iudges
;
and
that
you
commit
the
great
Abomination
,
in
justifying
the
Wicked
,
and
condemning
the
Righteous
.
And
is
it
not
a
Shame
to
him
that
professeth
himself
to
be
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
to
plead
,
The
Loss
of
his
Livelihood
,
and
of
his
Calling
,
and
the
Poverty
of
his
Wife
and
Family
,
&c.
because
of
my
speaking
the
Truth
to
him
?
Never
any
of
Christ's
Ministers
pleaded
any
such
thing
:
Were
not
they
reproached
,
and
much
spoken
against
?
And
they
were
called
Deceivers
,
and
Seditious
Men
,
and
such
like
:
And
did
they
proceed
on
this
manner
,
as
he
hath
done
against
me
?
Nay
;
They
forgave
their
Enemies
And
if
I
had
spoken
falsly
of
him
(
as
I
have
not
)
he
ought
not
to
have
done
thus
,
if
he
had
been
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
as
he
professeth
:
And
doth
his
Livelihood
,
and
his
Place
,
and
his
Maintenance
of
himself
and
his
Family
,
depend
upon
my
forbearing
to
speak
the
Truth
?
For
,
he
pleads
,
That
he
is
damnified
and
endangered
in
all
these
,
by
what
I
have
spoken
.
And
I
still
testifie
,
and
all
good
Men
know
,
that
I
have
given
no
Offence
,
saving
then
speaking
the
Truth
:
And
rather
then
he
shall
be
damnified
by
my
speaking
the
truth
of
him
,
will
you
unjustly
damnifie
me
for
speaking
the
truth
?
Is
this
the
Way
of
JUSTICE
,
to
condemn
the
Truth
that
I
have
spoken
,
to
save
the
Guilty
from
supposed
Danger
?
Consider
of
this
,
and
save
your selves
from
Unjust
Iudgment
,
lest
the
Lord
justly
judge
you
,
and
condemn
you
.
This
I
shew
in
short
,
and
much
more
I
might
,
as
to
the
Unjustness
of
the
Action
prosecuted
against
me
;
and
now
I
come
to
shew
something
of
the
unjust
Proceedings
in
this
matter
against
me
,
in
the
time
of
my
Tryals
and
other
times
;
and
some
part
thereof
I
here
lay
before
you
,
that
you
,
and
all
may
see
I
have
had
as
unjust
Proceedings
against
me
in
the
matter
,
as
an
unjust
Action
at
first
brought
upon
me
.
At
my
first
appearance
,
in
my
first
Answer
,
I
demurred
to
the
jurisdiction
of
your
Court
;
and
shewed
,
That
your
Court
and
Judicatory
being
Temporal
,
you
could
not
(
in
that
Court
)
take
Cognizance
of
this
Cause
,
being
of
a
Spiritual
Dependancy
,
and
ought
only
to
be
try'd
in
spiritual
Jurisdiction
,
by
spiritual
Judges
(
if
there
were
any
such
)
and
shewed
out
of
the
Laws
of
England
reasonably
,
that
your
Court
had
no
power
to
try
this
matter
:
But
one
of
the
Bailiffs
,
Iohn
Forth
,
said
(
which
should
have
been
my
equal
Judge
)
They
would
over-rule
that
,
and
they
would
try
the
matter
;
without
shewing
any
just
Reason
out
of
the
Laws
,
against
my
Argument
grounded
upon
the
Laws
;
and
they
did
over-rule
me
in
that
.
And
the
Court-day
before
the
Tryal
,
when
the
Jury-men
were
to
be
chosen
and
nominated
,
I
told
them
,
That
the
Jury-men
should
be
such
as
had
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Spirit
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
in
them
,
or
else
they
could
not
try
the
Matter
,
because
it
was
Doctrine
that
was
to
be
try'd
,
which
none
could
try
,
but
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
neither
could
I
cast
my self
into
the
Determination
of
any
in
this
Cause
,
but
such
.
And
the
Bailiffs
,
Obadiah
Wicks
,
and
Iohn
Forth
,
answered
,
If
they
were
men
that
could
take
the
Evidence
,
that
I
spoke
my
words
against
Richard
Mayo
,
they
were
sufficient
to
try
the
Matter
:
Whereby
it
doth
appear
,
that
they
had
unjustly
determined
in
themselves
,
not
to
try
the
Doctrines
,
but
to
have
a
Verdict
against
me
however
.
Again
,
Some
that
were
called
to
be
of
the
Jury
were
heard
to
say
,
before
they
saw
me
,
or
ever
heard
the
Matter
;
If
I
came
into
their
hands
,
they
knew
well
enough
what
to
do
with
me
:
Hereby
it
doth
appear
they
were
not
equal
men
,
but
malicious
,
and
prejudiced
against
me
.
And
moreover
,
In
the
very
time
of
the
Tryal
,
some
of
the
Jury
at
the
Bar
,
said
,
They
would
not
believe
any
thing
,
or
take
any
Witness
for
Testimony
,
which
any
of
these
on
my
part
,
that
were
called
Quakers
,
spoke
:
And
this
was
also
the
Witness
of
their
malicious
and
envious
spirits
against
me
,
who
were
rather
as
a
Party
against
me
,
then
my
Equals
:
And
were
not
these
unjust
men
for
the
Tryal
of
such
a
Matter
?
And
moreover
,
When
all
his
Witnesses
could
not
say
enough
to
give
colour
for
a
Verdict
against
me
,
one
of
the
Bailiffs
,
Iohn
Forth
by
name
,
who
was
one
of
the
Judges
upon
the
Bench
,
proffered
to
come
down
off
the
Bench
,
and
swear
,
as
a
Witness
against
me
;
and
when
some
spake
against
that
,
he
sent
for
a
man
into
the
Court
,
out
of
the
Town
,
Iames
Levite
by
name
,
and
whispered
with
him
upon
the
Bench
,
and
told
him
what
he
should
swear
;
and
he
went
to
the
Bar
,
and
took
his
Oath
against
me
,
That
I
followed
Richard
Mayo
with
Reviling
Language
,
in
three
several
Rooms
,
in
Bailiff
Gunstone
'
s
House
:
Which
I
do
testifie
was
a
false
Oath
before
the
Lord
,
and
all
men
;
and
many
know
that
I
speak
the
Truth
,
and
that
that
man
took
a
false
Oath
,
who
was
sent
for
into
the
Court
,
and
told
by
one
of
the
Judges
what
he
should
swear
.
I
suppose
Bayliff
Gunston
himself
knows
,
that
this
was
a
false
Witness
;
and
are
not
these
unjust
Proceedings
?
I
appeal
to
your
Consciences
,
and
upon
such
proceedings
as
these
,
was
a
Verdict
gained
against
me
,
by
much
ado
,
in
above
three
hours
time
;
and
the
Foreman
of
the
Jury
himself
said
,
he
would
not
have
brought
a
Verdict
against
me
,
but
onely
for
the
man's
Oath
,
Iames
Levite
,
which
as
I
have
said
,
swore
falsly
,
being
sent
for
,
and
told
by
another
man
what
he
should
say
.
Again
,
when
the
Fore-man
of
the
Iury
said
,
they
could
not
try
the
Cause
,
and
desired
it
might
be
referred
,
the
said
Bayliff
Forth
on
the
Bench
cryed
no
,
and
told
Richard
Mayo
;
he
should
have
a
Verdict
first
,
and
ought
my
Judge
thus
to
have
spoken
?
No
,
he
appeared
to
be
rather
a
Party
against
me
,
then
my
equal
Judge
;
and
to
all
sober
men
,
these
Proceedings
may
appear
to
be
unjust
:
And
I
hope
some
of
you
will
make
more
conscience
of
your
doings
,
then
to
pass
Judgment
upon
such
an
Unrighteous
Verdict
:
And
moreover
,
the
Iury
did
not
try
the
Cause
,
which
onely
ought
to
have
been
tryed
,
which
was
,
whether
I
had
spoken
truely
,
or
falsly
of
Richard
Mayo
,
that
is
to
say
:
they
ought
to
have
tryed
,
(
and
that
was
the
thing
in
controversie
between
us
)
whether
these
particulars
alledged
by
me
against
Richard
Mayo
were
true
,
and
sound
Doctrine
,
or
damnable
Doctrine
and
Errors
;
for
if
the
Particulars
mentioned
be
true
,
and
sound
Doctrine
,
which
were
affirmed
by
Richard
Mayo
,
then
I
have
wronged
him
,
and
I
must
confess
it
,
and
assent
to
your
Judgment
:
but
if
the
Particulars
be
false
Doctrine
and
Error
,
then
I
have
done
him
no
wrong
;
for
I
have
spoken
nothing
but
the
truth
,
and
for
that
;
how
can
you
condemn
me
?
And
this
was
the
Cause
to
be
tryed
,
which
the
Jury
themselves
confessed
they
did
not
try
;
and
therefore
the
Matter
is
not
yet
tryed
in
truth
,
neither
have
I
had
a
legal
Tryal
before
you
;
and
then
how
can
you
give
Judgment
against
me
,
being
the
Action
it self
is
so
unequal
,
and
the
Proceedings
so
unjust
also
,
and
the
Matter
yet
not
fully
tryed
?
Do
but
consider
of
these
things
in
the
coolness
of
your
spirits
,
and
let
not
me
receive
worse
dealing
from
you
,
because
I
am
a
Stranger
,
neither
because
I
am
a
Quaker
so
called
;
but
deal
justly
,
and
truely
,
for
I
desire
nothing
else
of
you
,
but
true
Judgment
,
for
that
will
justifie
me
,
and
clear
me
:
and
respect
not
Persons
,
but
have
respect
to
the
Law
of
God
,
which
commandeth
you
to
hear
,
and
judge
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
,
and
the
Strangers
,
without
respect
of
Persons
;
and
if
you
give
regard
to
the
Law
of
God
in
this
Matter
,
you
cannot
give
Judgment
upon
this
Verdict
,
which
is
unjustly
brought
in
,
by
partial
men
,
as
is
manifest
,
and
you
must
either
wholly
arrest
Iudgment
,
or
at
least
you
must
bring
it
to
a
new
Tryal
,
else
you
do
me
much
wrong
and
injustice
,
and
all
good
men
will
so
judge
of
it
:
And
further
,
divers
sufficient
reasons
hath
been
shewed
by
men
of
knowledge
in
the
Law
;
first
against
this
Action
,
and
also
against
the
Proceedings
herein
,
which
might
be
reasons
to
you
not
to
go
on
in
Judgment
against
me
,
but
to
clear
me
;
and
even
in
your
own
way
,
(
as
I
may
say
)
you
have
been
dealt
with
,
and
you
have
been
shewed
my
Innocency
;
so
that
if
your
Hearts
be
not
hardened
,
you
cannot
go
any
further
against
me
,
but
go
contrary
to
the
truth
of
my
cause
,
and
contrary
to
your
own
Law
also
:
and
though
it
was
the
dear
love
,
and
respect
of
Friends
to
the
Truth
,
in
freeness
of
their
love
to
me
,
more
then
any
desire
of
mine
,
or
my
knowledge
;
I
do
own
their
love
,
and
justifie
it
;
yet
much
that
hath
been
spoken
in
forms
and
tricks
of
Law
,
and
puntillio's
of
Law
I
do
wave
,
and
let
it
pass
,
and
keep
always
to
the
naked
truth
of
the
Matter
,
as
before
laid
down
:
And
therefore
if
any
Jury
shall
upon
their
Oaths
justifie
,
Richard
Mayo's
Doctrines
to
be
true
and
sound
Doctrine
;
and
if
you
your selves
,
upon
your
Oathes
,
dare
give
Iudgment
,
that
Richard
Mayo's
Doctrine
is
not
damnable
Doctrine
,
and
Errors
;
then
I
must
lie
patiently
under
your
Judgment
,
and
under
the
breach
of
such
Jury-mens
Oaths
,
and
of
your
own
Oaths
also
:
and
therefore
I
demand
of
you
according
to
right
and
justice
let
me
be
cleared
,
otherwise
let
me
first
have
a
fair
Tryal
before
I
be
condemned
,
which
yet
I
have
not
had
,
because
the
Matter
was
perverted
from
that
,
whether
I
had
spoken
the
truth
,
upon
which
the
true
Issue
dependeth
,
and
upon
no
other
thing
;
Whether
I
spoke
malitiously
,
was
a
straining
of
the
Cause
to
a
wrong
head
,
and
perverting
it
from
its
proper
Issue
,
and
hereby
was
the
just
Cause
of
the
Innocent
clouded
over
,
and
rejected
,
and
vilified
,
and
even
betrayed
into
another
meaning
,
more
then
it
ought
to
have
been
;
but
it
can
shew
its
face
above
all
this
,
and
Truth
cannot
be
daunted
,
though
it
may
be
vailed
,
and
lie
hid
for
a
season
;
and
though
I
be
condemned
by
the
Prejudiced
and
unfaithful
Jury
for
speaking
malitiously
,
yet
the
Lord
bears
me
witness
to
the
contrary
,
that
I
have
no
malice
in
me
against
any
man
,
and
I
love
your
Souls
better
,
then
that
you
should
endanger
them
to
destruction
,
and
to
everlasting
burning
,
by
giving
Iudgment
upon
your
Oaths
against
me
upon
this
Verdict
,
in
this
Cause
which
is
thus
unjust
and
unequal
in
it self
,
and
in
its
Proceeding
also
;
for
if
the
Jury
had
tryed
,
whether
I
had
spoken
the
truth
,
or
whether
I
belyed
Richard
Mayo
,
then
it
would
easily
have
been
known
,
whether
I
spoke
maliciously
;
for
if
I
belyed
him
,
and
if
his
Doctrine
be
true
,
and
sound
,
and
not
Error
,
then
may
it
be
easily
judged
,
that
I
spoke
maliciously
,
because
I
spoke
not
the
truth
;
but
if
his
Doctrines
alleadged
by
me
,
be
not
true
and
sound
Doctrine
,
but
damnable
Doctrine
and
Error
,
then
I
have
not
belyed
him
;
but
spoken
the
truth
in
love
,
and
not
maliciously
;
for
Truth
and
Malice
goes
not
together
;
and
till
this
be
tryed
,
to
wit
,
whether
I
have
spoken
truly
or
falsly
,
who
shall
be
able
upon
their
Oathes
(
without
forswearing
themselves
)
to
give
it
upon
their
Oathes
,
that
I
spoke
maliciously
?
nay
,
how
shall
any
men
lawfully
swear
,
that
one
speaks
malitiously
?
it
is
a
hard
cause
to
swear
,
that
any
man
speaks
in
malice
;
for
who
enters
into
the
heart
of
another
man
,
to
know
the
thoughts
,
save
God
,
and
his
Spirit
.
And
this
I
say
at
least
,
and
safely
too
,
that
that
Jury
,
which
gave
into
the
Court
upon
their
Oaths
,
that
I
spoke
my
words
maliciously
against
Richard
Mayo
,
have
greatly
endangered
the
forswearing
themselves
,
and
the
breach
of
their
own
Oaths
;
and
some
of
them
know
before
this
day
,
that
they
did
transgress
therein
against
God
,
whom
God
suddenly
after
cut
off
with
Judgment
,
and
took
off
the
Earth
by
death
;
and
though
they
that
are
yet
living
may
be
insensible
of
their
own
wickedness
;
yet
let
all
good
men
fear
to
dye
out
of
this
Body
with
that
burden
upon
their
Consciences
,
as
some
have
,
and
others
of
them
may
have
,
in
this
particular
,
for
breach
of
Oaths
;
and
though
they
have
given
it
to
you
upon
their
Oaths
,
that
I
spoke
maliciously
,
yet
●wo
will
be
unto
you
,
if
you
shall
upon
your
Oaths
justifie
,
they
have
done
well
,
and
condemn
me
falsly
upon
their
false
Verdict
,
and
if
you
do
condemn
me
,
it
is
upon
their
false
Verdict
,
because
I
spoke
ma●iciously
against
Richard
Mayo
;
and
you
cannot
do
that
,
but
you
for●wear
your selves
,
and
act
contrary
to
your
trust
,
who
are
set
in
place
to
●udge
justly
by
what
doth
appear
to
your
view
;
and
cannot
,
nor
dare
not
,
I
know
,
upon
your
Oaths
say
,
that
I
have
spoken
falsly
and
maliciously
against
Richard
Mayo
;
but
and
if
you
do
,
one
day
you
will
feel
that
you
have
spoken
against
your
own
Oaths
,
and
Consciences
,
and
against
God
,
and
against
your
own
Souls
.
And
this
is
all
that
I
can
lay
before
you
,
as
to
this
Particular
,
to
warn
you
,
that
you
do
judge
justly
,
and
that
you
condemn
not
the
innocent
and
just
Cause
of
the
Upright
,
but
that
you
may
save
your selves
from
the
anger
of
the
Lord
,
who
will
be
avenged
upon
all
false
Swearers
and
Unrighteous
Judges
,
that
judges
not
in
righteousness
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
,
and
of
the
Stranger
;
and
the
Cause
yet
remains
before
you
,
to
shew
your selves
just
or
Unjust
,
Righteous
or
Unrighteous
Judges
in
this
Matter
.
And
whereas
Richard
Mayo
,
and
some
of
your selves
spake
to
me
,
to
confess
I
have
wronged
him
,
and
would
have
me
to
acknowledge
that
I
am
in
a
fault
,
and
that
I
have
spoken
wrong
of
him
;
yea
,
it
was
said
to
me
,
if
I
had
not
wronged
him
,
could
I
not
confess
that
I
had
,
to
preserve
my self
,
&
c
?
To
this
I
must
answer
;
Nay
,
I
cannot
confess
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
,
and
contrary
to
Truth
,
that
I
have
wronged
him
,
if
my
life
stood
upon
it
,
as
it
is
but
my
liberty
at
most
;
for
God
hath
given
me
to
make
Conscience
of
my
words
,
and
to
keep
it
void
of
offence
towards
him
and
all
men
;
and
to
confess
that
which
is
false
,
to
be
true
,
would
stain
a
good
Conscience
,
in
the
sight
of
God
and
his
People
,
and
that
I
may
not
do
,
no
,
not
for
my
own
preservation
,
and
the
Lord
deliver
me
from
the
Judgment
of
such
,
who
would
have
me
confess
that
which
I
am
not
guilty
of
;
for
that
is
all
one
to
say
;
I
am
clear
,
when
I
am
guilty
,
as
to
say
,
I
am
guilty
,
when
I
am
clear
;
and
I
rather
chuse
to
suffer
what
may
be
imposed
upon
me
,
then
to
transgress
the
Truth
in
my
own
Heart
,
and
if
I
should
say
,
his
Doctrine
were
sound
and
true
Do●●rine
,
and
not
Damnable
and
Error
,
I
do
believe
the
Witness
in
your
own
Consciences
would
rise
against
me
,
and
many
more
would
say
,
I
then
spoke
falsly
,
then
doth
now
;
for
I
hardly
ever
heard
any
,
no
,
not
your
own
selves
say
,
that
his
Doctrines
alledged
by
me
against
him
,
are
sound
and
true
Doctrine
,
neither
can
you
in
good
Conscience
say
it
;
So
I
say
,
I
cannot
lye
against
my
Conscience
,
what
ever
come●
of
it
;
for
to
walk
with
the
Lord
,
and
to
have
his
Peace
,
and
not
to
lose
his
Presence
,
is
of
more
worth
to
my
Soul
,
that
is
immortal
,
the●
all
the
Sufferings
that
you
can
lay
upon
me
can
be
dammage
to
my
mortal
Body
;
for
my
life
and
soul
you
cannot
touch
,
but
therein
am
I
free
,
though
outwardly
entangled
amongst
Bryars
and
Thorns
,
which
wo●…
pierce
me
,
and
seek
to
catch
me
▪
and
if
there
be
no
other
way
for
me
to
be
preserved
,
but
by
confessing
contrary
to
my
Conscience
,
that
I
have
wronged
Richard
Mayo
,
I
freely
give
up
my self
to
suffer
,
rather
then
to
be
preserved
by
such
means
;
and
you
do
evil
in
putting
such
a
thing
upon
me
,
and
expecting
it
from
me
,
which
I
cannot
give
,
b●…
transgress
the
Law
of
God
,
and
offend
him
,
and
my
own
Conscience
;
and
if
you
defer
the
determination
of
the
Matter
,
upon
such
hopes
▪
that
I
may
confess
that
I
have
wronged
Richard
Mayo
,
I
desire
,
you
would
not
defer
it
one
moment
longer
,
but
let
me
be
quitted
of
your
Temptation
,
for
it
is
your
Temptation
,
and
not
true
love
;
for
I
cannot
confess
any
such
thing
,
though
I
do
acknowledge
it
hath
now
depended
in
your
Court
,
and
at
your
door
,
near
two
years
,
and
I
should
be
glad
that
it
were
ended
justly
,
because
I
am
not
a
man
given
to
Suits
of
Law
,
neither
do
I
love
it
(
though
it
be
so
that
I
am
fallen
into
it
)
to
offend
any
man
,
or
be
offended
in
that
way
by
any
,
yet
may
I
not
use
any
unlawful
means
,
or
any
indirect
way
to
obtain
an
end
of
this
business
,
but
the
rather
I
am
content
with
what
the
Lord
suffereth
to
come
to
pass
,
though
it
be
the
very
greatest
Malice
of
my
very
devouring
Enemies
;
and
because
I
would
have
Peace
with
all
men
,
and
have
all
men
reconciled
to
God
,
and
one
to
another
,
to
live
in
love
and
unity
one
with
another
,
upon
that
account
I
would
this
business
were
ended
,
and
though
I
do
not
doubt
my
Cause
,
nor
am
faint
of
it
,
but
can
freely
receive
the
determination
thereof
in
the
Court
,
be
it
for
me
or
against
me
;
yet
I
would
have
it
ended
,
and
have
sought
it
in
justice
,
and
once
did
to
my
Adversary
say
,
I
could
refer
it
to
any
sober
men
;
and
another
Friend
being
with
me
,
Oliver
then
Protector
,
or
Charles
Fleetwood
,
or
Col.
Pride
,
all
these
were
mentioned
,
and
to
any
of
these
,
I
could
have
referred
my
Cause
;
and
though
before
he
seemed
willing
,
and
said
,
That
if
any
sober
man
in
the
Nation
,
that
was
no
Quaker
,
would
say
,
that
his
Doctrine
was
not
sound
,
and
that
he
had
not
wrong
,
&c.
But
when
these
men
were
mentioned
,
he
was
unfaithful
to
his
word
,
and
would
not
refer
it
.
And
also
not
long
ago
,
a
day
and
time
was
appointed
by
his
own
advice
and
consent
,
by
a
Friend
of
his
own
,
to
bring
the
Cause
before
Alderman
Tichburn
,
to
which
I
was
willing
,
and
that
he
with
some
other
man
might
hear
&
determine
the
Matter
,
and
the
time
appointed
,
we
met
at
the
Alderman's
House
,
and
the
Alderman
with
some
more
of
us
waited
for
Mayo's
coming
,
till
near
the
9th
hour
in
the
evening
,
and
he
never
came
,
so
ungaretful
and
unjust
was
he
to
his
own
Friend
,
to
Alderman
Tichburn
,
and
to
me
,
that
we
waited
all
for
him
some
hours
,
and
he
came
not
at
all
,
though
his
own
Friend
,
by
his
own
consent
and
desire
did
bring
that
appointment
about
;
and
thus
I
would
have
you
to
know
,
that
I
seek
peace
with
all
men
,
and
with
him
,
upon
just
and
equal
means
,
and
can
refer
it
to
honest
men
to
hear
and
determine
;
for
who
are
truly
just
towards
God
,
cannot
condemn
me
,
nor
my
Cause
:
and
likewise
ye
may
see
how
unwilling
my
Adversary
is
to
bring
his
Business
to
hearing
and
determining
by
wise
and
discreet
men
,
and
how
unfaithfull
he
is
to
his
own
words
and
desires
;
only
he
thinks
he
hath
gotten
a
Verdict
that
will
do
something
for
him
,
and
upon
that
he
depends
,
waiting
also
for
your
unjust
Judgment
,
and
because
he
hopes
alwayes
for
your
Judgment
,
which
,
I
say
,
is
unjust
,
if
you
condemn
me
in
this
matter
:
Therefore
he
will
not
bring
his
cause
to
be
heard
and
determined
by
any
other
,
because
he
supposes
you
will
proceed
according
to
that
unjust
Verdict
,
which
if
you
do
not
,
you
offend
him
,
and
lose
his
unjust
cause
;
and
if
you
do
,
you
offend
God
,
and
condemn
the
guiltless
cause
of
the
Just
;
and
whatever
ye
do
,
this
follows
upon
ye
;
and
if
you
offend
God
and
despise
the
cause
of
the
Innocent
,
and
the
Truth
;
ye
must
bear
your
own
burthen
,
in
the
sight
of
God
and
Just
men
;
And
if
his
cause
were
good
,
he
need
nor
thus
shrink
and
faulter
,
to
let
any
man
hear
the
matter
,
but
his
hope
of
your
unjust
Judgement
nourisheth
his
heart
in
his
unrighteous
cause
-
And
these
things
were
in
me
to
lay
before
you
,
that
it
may
not
be
said
by
you
,
we
know
not
these
things
,
for
I
would
have
you
to
know
them
,
and
take
notice
of
them
,
and
to
compare
all
things
in
equality
,
and
to
Judge
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
the
good
Law
of
this
Land
;
I
am
not
careful
at
present
to
answer
or
say
more
to
you
about
this
matter
,
onely
this
remains
with
me
;
the
Lord
God
can
deliver
me
from
the
Teeth
of
the
wicked
if
he
will
;
but
if
he
will
not
,
I
cannot
bow
to
the
Devil
;
but
hath
given
up
my
life
,
to
live
to
him
,
or
to
suffer
for
him
;
and
this
Testimony
remains
for
ever
;
not
as
I
will
,
but
as
he
will
,
who
brings
all
things
to
pass
,
according
to
his
pleasure
.
I
am
a
Lover
of
your
Souls
,
and
a
Sufferer
for
the
Elect
seeds
sake
,
and
a
witness
against
the
malice
and
injustice
of
evil
men
,
E
B
To
all
that
are
Moved
to
go
into
other
Nations
.
ALl
ye
my
Brethren
and
Companions
in
the
Kingdom
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
unto
whom
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
who
have
received
power
from
on
high
,
even
from
the
Father
,
to
bear
witness
of
his
Name
,
and
of
his
Kingdom
in
the
Earth
,
unto
Peoples
and
Nations
:
and
all
ye
that
are
Anointed
with
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
that
are
moved
with
the
Power
of
the
Lord
to
go
into
other
Nations
,
to
manifest
the
Way
of
Life
,
and
the
Word
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
which
you
have
handled
,
tasted
,
seen
,
and
felt
;
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
God
Almighty
go
ye
on
in
faithfulness
to
preach
the
Power
of
God
,
the
Gospel
of
Peace
and
Reconciliation
to
every
Creature
under
Heaven
,
without
exception
of
Nations
or
Peoples
,
that
Sinners
may
be
converted
unto
him
,
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
the
Power
of
God
,
the
Creator
of
all
things
,
and
that
such
as
are
lost
from
his
Presence
,
may
be
brought
home
into
the
Covenant
of
Life
,
and
that
such
as
are
out
of
the
way
may
be
turned
into
the
Way
of
Peace
and
Salvation
:
In
the
dread
and
fear
of
the
Lord
God
go
ye
on
and
prosper
in
your
way
;
proclaim
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
declare
his
Majesty
unto
all
People
;
sound
forth
the
Word
of
his
Power
in
the
Ears
of
all
Nations
;
shew
forth
the
Light
of
the
Glorious
Gospel
in
the
whole
Earth
;
preach
Christ
,
and
hold
him
forth
unto
all
the
Children
of
Adam
,
who
is
given
of
the
Father
into
all
the
World
,
and
he
hath
lighted
all
Mankind
(
without
exception
)
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
and
is
given
for
a
Covenant
,
and
for
a
Light
unto
all
people
,
that
he
may
be
Salvation
unto
the
Ends
of
the
Earth
,
and
may
bring
Salvation
and
Life
Eternal
unto
as
many
as
do
receive
him
.
Cry
aloud
,
and
spare
not
,
and
shew
this
unto
all
people
;
set
the
Way
of
Life
,
and
the
Way
of
Death
before
them
;
cause
the
Deaf
to
hear
,
and
the
Blind
to
see
,
and
the
Dead
to
arise
;
lift
up
your
Voice
,
and
spare
not
,
that
all
Nations
may
know
the
Salvation
of
our
God
,
which
to
us
is
come
,
and
may
be
Witnesses
of
the
same
Power
and
Deliverance
of
which
we
partake
;
ye
are
sent
forth
as
Lambs
amongst
Wolves
,
and
as
Birds
among
Fowlers
Snares
,
be
ye
therefore
wise
and
innocent
:
And
I
charge
you
all
,
dwell
in
the
secret
Counsel
of
God
,
and
enquire
of
him
in
all
things
,
that
his
Wisdom
may
defend
you
from
the
subtilty
of
men
,
and
his
Power
and
Authority
thorow
you
may
bind
and
chain
the
Uncircumcised
,
and
reach
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
every
Creature
,
and
to
it
in
all
people
you
may
be
made
manifest
that
you
are
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
;
be
bold
and
valiant
to
give
your
Testimony
unto
all
Nations
;
fear
not
man
whose
Breath
is
in
his
Nostrils
,
nor
be
afraid
of
high
looks
,
but
lay
your
Sword
on
the
Neck
of
the
Uncircumcised
;
and
spare
not
the
Proud
,
nor
pity
not
the
Children
of
Babylon
;
and
lay
the
true
Measure
upon
all
People
,
that
they
may
see
themselves
,
how
they
are
all
drove
from
God
,
and
in
Transgression
and
Enmity
against
him
,
Children
of
Wrath
,
and
Heirs
of
Destruction
,
upon
whom
the
Wrath
of
God
abideth
,
and
are
subject
to
the
Curse
every
moment
;
and
this
is
the
state
of
all
Mankind
:
And
the
Light
in
every
one
shall
answer
this
Measure
,
and
witness
you
,
and
your
Word
to
be
the
Word
of
the
Lord
;
which
Light
,
if
they
love
,
it
will
bring
every
one
to
know
the
Power
of
the
Creator
,
to
reconcile
them
,
and
to
bring
them
into
Fellowship
with
him
,
and
to
receive
his
Blessings
,
and
his
Inheritance
,
being
changed
by
the
Power
of
God
into
his
Image
:
But
if
they
hate
the
Light
,
and
deny
the
Power
of
God
,
and
his
Covenant
,
and
will
not
have
Christ
,
who
hath
lighted
them
,
to
teach
them
,
and
to
rule
them
;
but
do
continue
Enemies
in
their
Minds
to
the
Lord
,
and
will
not
receive
your
Message
,
then
they
perish
forever
,
and
you
are
clear
;
seal
your
Testimony
against
them
,
and
the
Lord
shall
be
justified
when
he
arises
to
Condemnation
against
them
all
,
who
cannot
own
this
Message
,
and
receive
you
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
Be
bold
and
valiant
,
and
spare
not
to
shew
all
people
this
Message
,
and
to
Declare
unto
them
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
by
whom
you
are
sent
.
And
I
warn
you
all
,
Let
the
Fear
and
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
be
in
your
Hearts
,
and
stand
wholly
in
his
Will
;
and
be
obedient
to
the
moving
of
his
Power
in
all
things
,
that
you
may
be
armed
against
all
the
Swelling
and
Roaring
of
the
Proud
Waves
of
the
Sea
,
which
will
beat
against
you
;
put
on
the
whole
Armour
of
God
,
that
you
may
withstand
all
the
powers
of
Darkness
,
and
may
overcome
all
the
Temptations
of
the
Devil
:
Look
beyond
your
life
and
your
liberty
,
and
beyond
all
things
of
this
World
;
and
the
Life
of
God
know
and
feel
in
you
,
to
give
you
Dominion
over
all
,
and
with
his
Word
and
Power
to
reach
to
his
Witness
in
all
,
that
you
may
leave
a
Testimony
behind
you
for
him
.
Thick
Darkness
you
will
find
covering
all
people
,
their
Ears
deaf
,
and
their
Eyes
blind
,
and
the
Ground
wholly
barren
and
untilled
,
you
will
find
overgrown
with
Cursed
Fruit
,
and
wild
Branches
,
which
must
be
cut
up
,
and
cast
into
the
Fire
;
and
aboundance
of
Idolatry
,
and
vain
Superstitions
,
and
great
Hardness
of
Heart
you
will
meet
with
,
and
find
all
People
in
the
Degeneration
,
ignorant
of
God
,
and
without
him
in
the
World
;
and
abounding
in
all
Unrighteousness
and
Unbelief
,
worshipping
their
Idol
godds
,
which
will
grieve
your
spirits
;
but
be
you
Patient
,
and
Long-suffering
,
and
be
not
offended
at
any
of
these
things
;
but
Plow
in
Hope
,
and
Sow
in
Hope
,
and
Thresh
upon
the
Mountains
,
and
beat
them
to
dust
,
ye
Children
of
Sion
;
and
bring
all
people
to
know
the
Fear
and
Judgments
of
the
Lord
in
them
:
You
are
sent
forth
to
beget
People
unto
him
,
and
to
turn
them
to
his
Knowledge
,
to
till
the
Ground
,
to
pluck
up
the
wild
Branches
,
which
cumber
the
Ground
;
and
the
tender
Grape
must
be
spared
:
Therefore
let
the
Word
of
the
Lord
dwell
in
you
;
and
divide
the
Word
aright
;
and
cry
not
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
neither
cry
Judgment
to
such
as
are
of
a
Broken
Heart
;
feed
the
Hungry
with
Bread
,
and
feed
the
Fat
with
Judgment
.
Be
ye
good
Stewards
of
the
Lord's
Treasure
;
cover
the
Naked
,
but
make
bare
the
Harlot
,
and
discover
her
Abominable
Whoredoms
;
let
all
the
World
know
how
they
have
committed
Whoredom
with
the
great
Whore
,
who
hath
sate
upon
Nations
,
Kindreds
,
Tongues
and
Peoples
.
And
proclaim
unto
all
Nations
,
That
the
Lord
God
is
risen
for
the
Deliverance
of
his
Chosen
;
and
he
will
make
War
in
Righteousness
against
all
his
Enemies
,
and
they
must
lick
the
Dust
of
his
Feet
,
and
bow
under
his
Scepter
:
And
openly
declare
unto
all
the
World
,
That
God
is
setting
up
an
Everlasting
Kingdom
,
and
the
Dominion
thereof
shall
reach
over
all
the
Earth
;
and
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
must
bring
in
their
Glory
to
it
:
In
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
God
go
ye
into
all
the
World
with
this
Message
and
Testimony
,
which
shall
be
answer'd
to
be
the
Message
of
the
Everlasting
God
,
with
the
Light
which
he
lightened
every
man
withal
;
that
you
may
bring
Glory
,
and
Honour
,
and
Dominion
unto
him
,
who
hath
called
you
to
bear
witness
of
his
Name
in
all
the
World
.
This
I
was
moved
of
the
Lord
to
give
forth
,
unto
all
that
are
moved
to
go
into
other
Nations
;
by
a
Companion
unto
all
that
follow
the
Lamb
whithersoever

A
General
Epistle
to
the
SAINTS
.
To
the
Seed
of
God
,
Elected
and
Chosen
of
him
before
the
World
began
,
and
now
called
by
his
Word
and
Power
into
the
Kingdom
of
Peace
and
Righteousness
,
to
be
Heirs
of
the
Inheritance
of
Eternal
Life
,
that
never
fades
away
.
DEarly
beloved
Friends
,
who
are
called
and
sanctified
through
the
Grace
of
God
that
hath
appeared
unto
you
,
and
in
you
;
be
mindful
of
your
Calling
,
and
make
your
Election
sure
,
that
you
may
feel
it
,
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
the
Heir
of
Life
born
and
brought
forth
in
every
one
of
you
;
that
the
Promise
may
be
fulfilled
in
you
,
and
you
may
sit
down
in
the
Kingdom
,
feeling
the
immortal
Crown
of
Life
,
as
the
Reward
of
all
your
Sufferings
,
and
Tryals
,
and
Patience
;
for
the
Inheritance
of
an
endless
Life
is
the
Portion
of
the
Righteous
,
who
have
followed
the
Lamb
through
his
Sufferings
,
and
laid
down
their
Crowns
at
his
Feet
;
and
now
his
Feet
are
treading
down
,
and
will
tread
down
all
mortal
Crowns
,
and
stain
the
glory
of
all
Flesh
,
and
bring
it
into
contempt
,
and
set
up
his
Kingdom
to
have
Dominion
over
all
.
And
so
Friends
,
you
in
whose
hearts
the
Day-Star
hath
appeared
,
of
Light
and
Life
,
feel
the
growth
of
the
good
Seed
in
your selves
,
which
must
rise
in
you
all
,
over
the
contrary
part
,
and
over
that
nature
which
is
related
to
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
,
that
must
be
kept
down
in
you
all
,
and
all
must
be
subject
to
the
Lambs
Power
,
and
to
his
Dominion
;
every
Work
,
Word
and
Motion
must
be
brought
in
subjection
unto
him
,
that
he
,
who
is
Light
,
and
Life
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
,
and
all
Vertue
and
Goodness
may
alone
reign
in
you
,
and
over
y●●av●
and
the
contrary
may
be
kept
in
the
subjection
,
and
the
Body
of
Si●●●
and
Death
may
be
wholly
put
off
,
and
Immortallity
brought
forth
in
you
all
,
by
the
Gospel
which
hath
been
sounded
forth
amongst
you
in
Power
and
Life
,
and
not
in
the
words
of
man's
wisdom
;
and
this
Gospel
,
which
we
have
received
,
and
you
have
heard
,
hath
wrought
its
effect
wherefore
the
Lord
sent
it
,
and
many
are
turned
from
darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Satan's
power
to
God
;
and
the
Lord
hath
gathered
his
Jewels
,
and
is
gathering
of
them
;
and
he
hath
planted
his
Inheritance
with
a
pleasant
Plant
of
Righteousness
and
Renown
;
and
his
Arm
hath
wrought
great
deliverances
in
the
Earth
,
and
hath
raised
up
the
Poor
,
and
exalted
the
Meek
and
Lowly
;
and
he
hath
brought
down
the
Mighty
from
his
Seat
;
and
these
things
hath
he
done
in
us
,
who
hath
wrought
all
our
Works
;
and
he
hath
broken
the
Chain
of
Antichrist
,
and
will
tread
down
that
spirit
more
and
more
,
till
whole
Babylon
be
sunk
,
as
a
Stone
into
the
midst
of
the
Sea
,
and
till
Righteousness
alone
sit
upon
the
Throne
,
that
his
People
may
rejoyce
in
him
for
evermore
,
when
they
see
their
Inheritance
in
him
,
and
their
Souls
rest
in
him
,
where
he
is
become
the
everlasting
Light
,
and
the
days
of
Mourning
ended
.
Now
Friends
,
all
of
you
keep
in
the
Life
,
and
Power
,
and
Wisdom
of
God
;
dwell
and
walk
therein
,
in
all
things
,
and
feel
the
Head
Christ
,
and
have
no
Master
but
him
,
and
in
all
things
seek
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
;
for
they
that
turn
to
seek
themselves
,
become
as
the
Dross
,
and
as
withered
Branches
,
whom
the
Lord
will
take
away
,
and
such
shall
not
cumber
his
Ground
:
They
that
go
from
the
Life
,
and
Light
,
and
Word
within
them
,
they
go
into
Error
,
and
turn
aside
after
Vanity
;
and
these
shall
never
see
the
Countenance
of
the
Lord
,
who
continue
not
unto
the
end
in
the
Faith
,
but
make
shipwrack
of
it
,
and
of
a
good
Conscience
;
and
these
become
Antichrist
,
and
Servants
of
Sin
,
and
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
;
having
lost
Sincerity
,
they
run
into
a
feignedness
;
and
having
lost
the
true
Hope
,
they
become
unstaid
;
and
such
will
be
tossed
,
and
change
their
way
,
and
so
become
hardned
.
And
therefore
,
Friends
,
I
say
unto
you
all
,
live
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
feel
the
enjoyment
of
his
good
Presence
in
you
Hearts
,
in
your
Families
,
and
in
your
Meetings
;
and
live
in
the
Power
of
Godliness
,
and
not
in
the
Form
without
Power
;
for
that
is
but
Idolatry
,
where
people
are
zealous
in
the
performance
and
practice
of
Righteousness
,
and
wants
the
sence
of
the
Lord's
Presence
:
but
keep
out
of
this
,
and
look
at
the
Lord
,
in
all
things
stand
in
his
Counsel
,
and
fulfil
his
Will
,
and
walk
in
his
Spirit
that
leads
into
all
Truth
;
and
feel
that
Kingdom
,
that
Power
and
Government
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
over
,
and
above
the
kingdoms
that
are
earthly
;
and
in
this
will
be
your
Peace
,
and
your
Comfort
,
and
your
Assurance
for
evermore
.
And
Friends
,
the
Lord
hath
not
onely
stretched
forth
his
Arm
to
bring
Redemption
,
and
Salvation
unto
you
,
and
his
deliverance
out
of
spiritual
Sodom
;
but
his
Arm
hath
also
wrought
great
deliverance
for
us
without
,
and
he
hath
appeared
for
us
in
much
Loving
kindness
;
in
that
he
hath
stopped
the
way
of
his
Adversaries
,
whose
mout●…
were
opened
to
devour
us
;
and
doubtless
it
was
in
their
wicked
He●…s
to
have
cut
us
off
,
that
themselves
might
be
exalted
:
but
the
Lord
eminently
broke
their
Counsel
,
when
they
were
in
confederacy
together
,
how
to
overcome
us
by
Craft
and
Guile
;
and
the
Lord
scattered
them
by
a
secret
Hand
,
and
this
was
one
great
Deliverance
.
And
again
,
when
they
were
risen
in
Numbers
,
with
their
Hearts
full
of
devouring
Envy
,
they
were
suddenly
confounded
and
brought
to
nought
;
and
certain
it
is
,
that
both
these
Deliverances
were
chiefly
to
us
,
though
others
have
good
thereby
;
and
I
cannot
but
mind
you
of
them
,
that
you
may
prize
them
,
and
receive
them
as
from
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
and
may
walk
worthy
of
all
his
Mercies
that
are
reached
forth
unto
you
from
time
to
time
;
and
for
his
Name
sake
,
and
for
his
Seed
sake
are
these
things
done
;
and
he
will
gather
his
Seed
yet
more
and
more
,
and
make
up
the
numberless
number
of
his
Chosen
,
that
his
Heritage
may
be
pleasing
unto
him
,
and
therein
he
will
delight
,
that
Righteousness
may
sit
upon
the
Throne
,
and
Truth
,
and
Justice
,
and
Mercy
flow
down
,
that
his
Soul
may
be
delighted
.
And
now
as
concerning
Places
among
men
,
for
the
service
of
your
Nation
,
as
men
,
this
I
have
to
say
;
mind
Gods
Wisdom
to
guide
you
,
and
if
such
things
be
put
upon
you
,
do
as
you
have
freedom
in
the
Lord
,
though
these
things
be
less
then
the
eternal
Election
,
which
gives
to
see
over
,
and
feel
over
mens
kingdoms
(
and
in
the
Election
doth
your
eternal
Peace
and
Inheritance
stand
in
God
)
yet
in
man's
kingdom
Truth
and
Righteousness
must
rule
,
Justice
and
just
Judgment
must
have
place
on
the
Throne
;
and
this
we
wait
for
,
that
Righteousness
within
and
without
may
be
exalted
;
for
the
Gospel
of
Light
which
we
preach
,
destroys
not
,
but
brings
the
Nation
into
equal
and
just
Government
among
men
,
and
Truth
brings
the
Nations
into
good
order
,
and
ye
must
salt
the
Earth
.
So
keep
over
these
things
,
in
the
Life
that
gives
you
Dominion
,
to
act
only
for
God
,
even
as
men
that
may
glorifie
him
in
your
Bodies
,
and
in
your
spirits
,
even
in
your
daily
Practises
amongst
men
:
and
keep
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
which
keeps
the
heart
pure
;
and
feel
the
Word
in
your
hearts
,
and
then
you
will
not
be
corrupted
,
but
will
be
kept
in
singleness
and
uprightness
to
God
and
man
;
and
in
that
will
be
your
Crown
,
as
men
,
in
seeking
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
not
your
own
.
And
so
,
Friends
,
have
respect
unto
the
Lord
God
in
all
things
,
that
his
Truth
may
guide
you
in
all
things
,
even
as
men
,
and
therein
stands
true
honour
in
this
World
,
and
in
the
World
to
come
.
And
so
keep
your
Meetings
,
and
live
in
good
order
,
let
no
strife
be
amongst
you
;
for
that
will
eat
out
the
good
,
and
quench
your
love
,
and
deadness
,
and
barrenness
will
cover
you
,
and
you
will
become
unfruitfull
to
the
Lord
.
And
all
you
that
are
moved
of
the
Lord
to
go
abroad
,
to
whom
the
Message
of
the
Gospel
is
committed
;
I
charge
you
all
,
to
live
in
the
Life
of
God
it self
,
and
then
Life
will
speak
through
you
;
and
keep
in
the
Dominion
over
the
earthly
part
in
your selves
,
and
over
all
false
spirits
in
the
World
,
that
you
may
feel
through
the
corruptible
in
all
people
,
and
may
answer
the
Witness
,
which
will
slay
the
Evil
,
and
wound
the
Wicked
,
and
convert
the
Soul
to
God
:
and
let
your
Conversation
be
holy
and
just
,
that
you
may
answer
the
Witness
in
all
.
And
though
we
have
seen
the
fruit
of
our
Labour
,
and
hath
our
Reward
with
the
Lord
hitherto
,
yet
it
is
the
beginning
of
the
Harvest
;
for
there
are
Mountains
to
thresh
,
and
Darkness
to
beat
under
;
for
the
World
hath
been
as
a
Wilderness
,
and
now
it
must
be
planted
with
the
good
Seed
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
Wherefore
,
be
valiant
for
the
Lord
God
,
and
for
his
Truth
,
and
sound
forth
the
dread
of
the
Lord
among
all
People
:
the
false
Church
,
the
Whore
,
must
have
the
Cup
of
God's
Wrath
given
unto
her
,
through
your
hands
;
and
as
she
hath
done
unto
us
,
so
we
must
give
unto
her
double
.
So
go
on
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
God
,
and
the
Lord
God
Almighty
be
with
you
all
.
Let
this
be
read
in
all
your
Meetings
,
and
copied
over
,
and
sent
abroad
among
all
Friends
.

Two
Epistles
to
Friends
in
London
;
being
a
Testimony
against
deceitfull
Spirits
,
and
such
as
profest
the
Truth
,
and
turned
from
it
,
and
were
unfaithfull
to
the
Lord
.
FOrasmuch
as
in
these
our
dayes
the
God
of
Truth
hath
made
manifest
his
Name
and
Truth
in
the
hearts
of
his
people
,
and
hath
gathered
the
minds
of
thousands
into
it
,
to
worship
him
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Truth
,
in
which
he
is
accepted
;
and
of
this
Truth
which
is
but
one
,
and
there
is
not
another
,
are
we
made
Witnesses
,
and
Ministers
of
,
and
hath
the
Testimony
in
our selves
,
that
we
are
of
God
,
and
are
a
good
savour
unto
him
,
in
them
that
believe
,
and
in
them
that
perish
;
and
we
have
the
Testimony
,
that
he
that
is
of
God
heareth
us
;
and
we
know
the
whole
World
lies
in
wickedness
,
and
who
are
in
the
Truth
,
in
the
Light
,
and
in
the
Life
,
have
followship
one
with
another
in
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
in
that
which
comprehends
the
World
,
and
condemns
all
the
works
thereof
which
are
evil
;
and
this
Truth
,
and
Worship
,
and
Fellowship
stands
in
Christ
Jesus
,
the
second
Adam
,
whose
Kingdom
and
Rule
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
from
Heaven
;
who
according
to
his
Promise
,
in
his
Counsel
,
hath
made
known
his
Power
,
to
the
raising
up
a
righteous
Branch
,
a
royal
Priesthood
,
a
peculiar
People
,
zealous
of
his
Name
,
to
shew
forth
his
Praise
and
Glory
in
Justness
and
Righteousness
,
in
Love
,
Mercy
,
and
Peace
,
and
works
of
Purity
,
having
our
Conversation
in
Heaven
;
and
since
that
Day
of
the
Manifestation
of
this
Truth
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
and
Salvation
,
which
is
the
same
now
,
as
was
in
the
beginning
,
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
of
the
World
,
who
is
the
same
to
day
,
yesterday
,
and
forever
,
and
changeth
not
:
I
say
,
since
that
very
day
hath
the
Lord
prospered
his
Truth
,
to
the
renewing
of
many
into
his
Image
and
Likeness
,
and
to
the
turning
of
many
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Satans
power
to
God
,
by
the
Mouthes
of
his
Ministers
,
and
through
great
Sufferings
,
and
Tribulations
,
and
Afflictions
,
and
Labours
,
hath
the
Lord
honoured
his
Name
and
his
Truth
in
Nations
,
and
given
it
a
praise
among
all
that
fear
him
,
and
hath
honoured
it
,
and
exalted
it
in
the
sight
of
the
Heathen
,
to
the
confounding
of
the
Wise
and
Mighty
,
and
to
the
bringing
out
of
the
Captivity
of
Darkness
,
Sin
,
and
Death
,
wherein
in
times
past
all
have
walked
,
while
Strangers
from
the
Life
of
God
;
so
that
thousands
who
have
received
the
Truth
are
established
in
it
,
and
cannot
be
moved
nor
shaken
,
but
are
built
upon
the
sure
Foundation
,
their
Faith
standing
in
the
Power
of
God
,
with
whom
the
Arm
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
is
,
defending
and
preserving
continually
,
and
unto
such
the
Truth
is
precious
,
and
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Name
and
Honour
is
dear
,
yea
,
more
then
life
or
liberty
,
or
any
other
thing
which
passeth
away
;
who
for
the
Truth
's
sake
as
is
it
in
Christ
Jesus
do
daily
give
up
themselves
to
suffering
,
and
to
reproach
for
well-doing
,
and
not
for
evil
,
and
loves
not
life
unto
death
,
that
the
Lord
God
and
his
Name
and
Truth
may
be
honoured
,
so
that
in
the
Truth
which
is
received
,
and
learned
of
the
Father
,
daily
do
we
walk
in
all
Purity
and
Holiness
of
Life
,
answering
the
Mercy
and
Love
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
exercise
of
a
good
Conscience
both
towards
God
and
man
,
in
Patience
,
and
Long
suffering
,
and
Wisdom
towards
all
,
to
the
putting
to
silence
of
Gainsayers
,
rendring
love
and
mercy
toward
our
Persecutors
,
and
are
set
in
our
hearts
to
fulfil
the
will
of
God
in
all
things
:
And
now
whereas
(
that
the
Scriptures
may
be
fulfilled
)
some
may
,
and
have
denied
the
Truth
,
which
once
was
received
and
loved
,
to
the
making
shipwrack
of
Faith
,
and
of
a
good
Conscience
,
abusing
the
Mercy
and
Grace
of
God
,
which
to
them
appeared
,
and
follow
the
counsel
of
their
own
hearts
,
and
not
the
Lord
;
having
lost
the
feeling
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
and
are
,
and
may
be
separated
from
us
(
in
the
self-separation
)
through
an
evil
heart
of
unbelief
,
that
it
may
be
made
manifest
they
are
not
of
us
,
though
they
arise
from
among
us
,
and
may
,
by
disorderly
walking
contrary
to
the
Truth
,
cause
the
Truth
to
be
evil
spoken
of
,
giving
occasion
thereby
to
the
Enemies
of
God
to
blaspheme
his
Name
and
Truth
in
the
Earth
,
and
may
be
a
stumbling
to
the
weak
,
and
an
offence
to
the
Way
of
the
Lord
before
the
Simple
,
through
their
Disorders
and
Confusions
,
raising
the
rage
of
the
wicked
against
the
Lambs
of
Christ
;
being
not
led
in
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
but
in
the
Confusions
,
taking
liberty
to
their
own
hearts
desire
,
ful
filling
the
will
thereof
,
without
the
Fear
of
God
,
above
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
in
the
nature
uncrucified
,
and
speaking
high
Words
in
the
presumption
,
and
not
in
the
Light
and
Power
of
God
;
and
acting
in
the
vanity
of
the
Mind
(
in
the
pretence
of
Truth
,
and
moving
of
the
Spirit
)
such
things
as
Truth
,
and
the
Children
of
it
,
who
are
guided
with
the
Spirit
cannot
justifie
;
but
is
judged
and
denied
,
and
cast
out
from
among
the
Children
of
Light
,
who
walk
in
the
Truth
,
and
do
try
the
Spirits
whether
they
be
of
God
.
Therefore
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
this
is
written
to
go
abroad
among
Friends
,
and
others
,
to
inform
and
shew
unto
all
,
that
the
Truth
,
and
we
that
are
in
it
,
and
Ministers
of
it
,
do
stand
clear
from
all
such
who
act
and
speak
out
of
the
Truth
;
and
contrary
to
it
,
in
the
Disorder
and
Confusion
,
and
not
in
the
Fear
and
Counsel
of
God
,
and
with
the
Truth
such
are
judged
and
denied
,
and
fellowship
with
them
we
have
not
,
nor
of
their
works
do
approve
,
though
such
once
owned
us
,
and
were
convinced
of
the
Truth
,
and
received
the
Seed
of
the
Kingdom
into
the
unprofitable
Ground
,
yet
being
separated
from
us
,
and
gone
out
from
the
Truth
,
and
are
not
subject
to
it
,
and
its
Government
,
but
are
unruly
and
disorderly
,
we
,
and
the
Truth
do
such
deny
,
and
the
spirit
that
rules
them
,
being
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
;
and
such
have
done
evil
against
their
own
Souls
,
and
against
God
,
and
are
Troublers
of
the
Righteous
Seed
,
and
have
,
and
do
dishonour
the
Lord
,
and
his
Truth
in
the
sight
of
the
Heathen
,
causing
the
right
way
to
be
reviled
,
and
reproached
,
and
evil
spoken
of
,
through
the
offence
by
them
,
to
the
making
sad
the
hearts
of
some
,
whom
God
hath
not
made
sad
;
and
even
more
especially
in
that
they
pretend
to
the
Truth
in
their
words
,
but
in
works
deny
it
;
and
profess
to
be
in
it
,
yet
secretly
condemning
,
and
openly
reviling
the
Ministers
of
Righteousness
,
which
God
hath
blessed
,
and
doth
daily
bless
with
his
eternal
Power
,
to
the
turning
many
unto
God
,
and
to
the
strengthning
of
the
weak
and
feeble
,
which
we
with
many
others
do
witness
to
be
the
Ministers
of
Life
and
Reconciliation
,
and
there
is
no
other
,
and
are
established
in
it
,
and
cannot
be
moved
by
the
temptations
of
the
Devil
;
though
the
wicked
one
may
revile
for
a
moment
,
to
winnow
some
,
and
to
try
them
,
and
to
draw
the
hearts
and
minds
of
others
into
a
Snare
,
out
from
the
obedience
to
Christ
Jesus
,
which
do
become
Mockers
,
and
Despisers
,
and
Subverters
of
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
,
and
of
the
Ministers
and
Ministry
thereof
,
which
is
the
Power
of
God
unto
Salvation
,
and
there
is
no
other
,
though
some
harden
their
hearts
through
unbelief
,
and
blind
the
Eye
,
till
they
be
past
feeling
,
through
rebellion
against
the
Truth
,
which
they
hold
in
unrighteousness
,
and
not
in
the
Power
of
God
,
having
made
the
offence
of
the
Cross
to
cease
,
yet
boasting
in
the
Liberty
of
Christ
,
while
they
are
unmortified
,
having
run
from
the
Judgment
,
and
not
truly
came
thorow
it
,
in
the
finishing
of
Condemnation
;
and
that
spirit
that
goes
out
of
the
Cross
is
subverted
,
and
seeks
to
subvert
others
from
the
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
and
that
spirit
is
denyed
fellowship
with
,
though
it
have
the
conformity
in
the
Hypocrisie
.
Wherefore
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
unto
you
that
err
after
that
spirit
,
Be
awakened
,
be
awakened
,
and
remember
,
and
repent
,
and
come
to
your
first
work
,
to
that
which
condemneth
you
,
lest
the
Lord
by
his
hand
of
Wrath
and
Judgment
upon
you
,
make
you
an
Example
and
of
Misery
and
Destruction
to
all
that
shall
hereafter
deny
the
Lord
,
and
his
Truth
:
Hear
,
and
consider
,
to
the
Light
in
you
all
I
speak
;
have
you
another
Truth
then
that
which
hath
been
known
and
declared
from
the
beginning
?
is
there
any
other
way
to
Life
,
then
which
we
have
been
Witnesses
of
?
who
have
not
handled
the
Word
of
God
deceitfully
amongst
you
,
nor
sought
yours
,
but
you
,
nor
preached
our selves
,
but
Christ
Jesus
,
and
hereof
we
have
the
witness
in
our
Consciences
in
the
Holy
Ghost
:
and
is
there
any
other
Salvation
,
then
that
which
God
hath
manifested
,
which
is
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
of
the
World
?
Be
awaked
,
and
consider
;
Wherefore
then
do
you
separate
your selves
disoderly
,
and
resist
the
Word
of
Life
,
which
once
begat
you
towards
the
Lord
?
Consider
what
you
are
doing
,
and
whither
you
are
walking
;
the
End
of
your
way
is
Perdition
,
and
that
is
accursed
which
preacheth
another
Gospel
:
How
do
you
dishonour
the
Lord
in
the
sight
of
the
Heathen
,
before
whom
you
discover
your
Nakedness
,
and
your
Shame
doth
appear
,
having
put
off
,
and
cast
aside
the
Armour
and
Weapon
of
Truth
,
whereby
you
might
have
been
defended
:
But
Scorners
and
Fools
take
occasion
through
your
disorders
and
confusions
to
blaspheme
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
it
is
through
you
.
Be
stirred
up
,
and
consider
,
and
search
your
hearts
,
and
come
to
the
tryal
,
ye
that
vex
the
Lord's
Soul
,
and
grieve
his
Spirit
,
lest
it
cease
to
strive
with
you
,
and
you
be
wholly
given
up
to
fulfil
wickedness
,
till
there
be
no
place
,
nor
time
of
repentance
found
;
and
this
is
a
warning
to
you
all
,
in
the
Presence
of
the
Living
God
,
that
you
may
return
to
your
first
love
,
to
fear
before
the
Lord
,
and
to
walk
in
his
Truth
,
if
there
may
be
mercy
,
and
to
fulfil
his
Will
,
which
is
the
Light
which
you
are
lighted
withal
,
by
Christ
Jesus
,
who
is
the
Lamb
of
God
,
the
Way
,
the
Truth
,
and
the
Life
,
the
Author
and
Finisher
of
Faith
,
and
there
is
not
another
:
And
know
this
,
ye
that
deny
him
that
is
given
,
yea
unto
you
all
,
he
will
deny
you
before
his
Father
;
and
of
all
your
Blood
I
am
clear
thus
far
,
whether
you
resist
or
receive
,
who
am
the
Lover
of
your
Souls
,
sometimes
loved
of
you
,
while
you
were
Lovers
of
the
Truth
,
and
am
now
a
Witness
for
the
Lord
,
and
his
Truth
,
and
against
that
spirit
which
leads
you
in
the
Rebellion
against
the
Government
of
Christ
,
which
is
Order
and
Peace
,
out
of
which
you
have
erred
,
to
the
piercing
of
your
own
Souls
;
and
though
you
now
exalt
your selves
against
me
,
and
the
Truth
,
and
boast
your selves
,
as
though
you
reigned
;
yet
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
shall
the
Light
in
you
all
,
which
is
now
darkned
,
bear
witness
to
me
,
and
of
my
faithfulness
in
reproving
you
;
and
the
Truth
is
for
ever
dear
to
me
,
and
my
soul
delights
no
less
in
it
,
though
you
rebel
against
it
,
in
the
heady
exalted
presumptuous
high
wilful
spirit
,
which
is
not
subject
to
the
Government
,
nor
Authority
of
the
Ministry
of
Christ
;
but
Truth
is
over
you
all
,
and
the
Mountain
of
the
Lord
is
established
above
you
all
,
and
all
your
words
,
and
works
,
and
boastings
,
and
feignedness
,
and
disorders
are
denied
,
and
in
them
we
have
not
fellowship
,
but
the
contrary
;
and
do
in
the
Authority
of
the
Lord
,
even
by
the
same
Authority
which
hath
begotten
us
unto
God
,
and
called
us
,
and
carried
us
in
his
Work
unto
this
day
,
deny
you
all
,
in
the
ground
and
state
wherein
you
stand
,
till
repentance
,
and
turning
from
whence
you
are
fallen
,
to
the
Light
which
Christ
hath
lighted
you
withal
.
And
all
faithfull
Friends
,
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
to
you
,
hear
and
fear
,
walk
in
the
Truth
which
you
have
heard
,
and
learned
,
and
received
of
the
Father
,
in
it
dwell
and
live
,
and
know
there
is
no
other
then
that
which
is
made
manifest
,
which
is
sure
to
you
all
,
and
cannot
deceive
,
nor
be
deceived
;
and
be
not
shaken
in
mind
,
nor
troubled
,
though
some
deny
the
Lord
;
but
let
their
fall
be
a
Warning
to
you
,
to
be
more
watchfull
,
to
be
kept
to
the
Lord
,
lest
you
be
tempted
;
and
dwell
in
the
Mountain
of
Holiness
,
which
no
Beast
can
touch
,
where
is
a
hiding
place
to
preserve
you
in
the
time
of
tryal
.
And
I
charge
you
all
in
the
Presence
of
the
Living
God
of
Life
,
let
your
minds
be
setled
,
and
hearts
staid
in
the
Truth
,
which
is
the
Foundation
of
God
,
and
know
the
Armor
of
God
to
gird
you
up
to
God
,
where
no
offence
is
taken
against
Christ
,
nor
against
the
Way
of
Truth
;
but
the
Power
of
God
doth
remove
that
which
would
be
offended
,
and
tramples
upon
that
which
gives
the
offence
,
and
in
this
you
will
be
preserved
until
the
day
of
Salvation
;
and
beware
of
that
spirit
that
boasts
above
the
measure
,
and
of
that
which
makes
the
offence
of
the
Cross
to
cease
,
for
there
hardness
of
heart
and
unbelief
enters
,
and
so
another
is
followed
then
the
Light
,
and
another
joyned
to
then
Christ
Jesus
,
and
there
is
the
way
to
perdition
;
who
goes
from
the
Light
within
them
,
they
deny
God
,
and
his
Truth
,
and
follow
the
imaginations
of
the
soolish
heart
,
and
runs
in
rashness
,
and
in
the
forwardness
,
and
that
ground
receives
the
unclean
spirit
in
again
,
with
seven
worse
,
and
the
latter
end
is
worse
then
the
beginning
;
and
this
Truth
doth
not
change
which
is
the
begotten
of
the
Father
,
but
is
the
same
for
ever
:
So
in
it
all
be
faithfull
and
fruitfull
to
the
Father
in
your
Places
and
Callings
,
shewing
forth
in
all
wisdom
,
and
pure
conversation
,
among
yo●…
Enemies
,
to
the
putting
them
to
silenc●
when
they
speak
evil
of
you
;
and
be
Examples
of
Holiness
one
to
another
,
that
the
Lord
God
may
dwell
amongst
you
,
and
may
never
have
cause
to
with-hold
his
presence
from
you
,
which
is
Life
,
and
Peace
,
and
Rest
for
ever
:
And
believe
not
every
spirit
,
but
dwell
in
that
which
discerns
spirits
;
and
if
any
say
,
Lo
here
,
or
lo
there
is
Christ
,
go
not
after
them
,
without
you
,
for
you
have
not
been
so
taught
;
but
know
the
Christ
of
God
,
the
Lamb
of
God
within
you
,
and
follow
him
,
and
obey
his
voice
,
and
be
established
all
of
you
on
this
sure
Foundation
,
whom
God
hath
laid
,
and
no
man
can
lay
any
other
;
and
if
you
build
thereupon
,
and
thereby
you
s●…ll
never
suffer
loss
,
but
your
Work
shall
abide
the
Fire
;
and
in
the
Fathers
House
your
Bread
you
shall
receive
,
and
never
shall
hunger
no●
Thirst
,
but
the
Life
will
be
refreshed
and
increased
daily
,
and
you
Lamps
will
alwayes
shine
,
and
you
shall
never
be
darkned
,
not
st●…ble
;
for
that
which
stumbles
is
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
the
ground
stands
to
receive
the
seed
of
Satan
,
who
is
a
Devourer
of
the
Simplicity
,
and
the
Betrayer
from
the
Truth
.
Therefore
I
charge
you
all
in
the
Presence
of
the
Living
God
,
that
you
hold
fast
the
Faith
and
Hope
which
you
have
received
through
the
Gospel
,
that
you
may
never
be
moved
〈◊〉
the
Grace
of
God
,
and
from
the
Love
that
hath
abounded
in
you
;
●…t
may
be
found
watching
in
the
Door
,
with
your
Light
shining
,
when
the
Bridegroom
cometh
;
and
behold
.
he
cometh
quickly
,
and
his
Rew●…d
is
with
him
,
blessed
are
they
that
tarry
for
him
.
This
is
the
Testimony
of
my
Love
unto
all
the
Seed
of
God
,
who
am
as
a
Deceiver
,
and
yet
true
;
and
as
not
known
,
yet
well
known
unto
the

To
such
as
have
Backslided
from
the
Truth

WHEN
the
Life
in
you
all
doth
arise
,
it
shall
witness
me
,
and
answer
the
Word
of
the
Lord
unto
Life
,
or
unto
Death

Friends
,
all
you
to
whom
the
Word
of
the
Lord
came
,
and
●…n
whom
the
Way
of
Truth
was
made
manifest
,
hear
and
consider
:
How
●…t
hath
the
Love
of
the
Father
been
unto
you
?
How
many
and
infinite
have
been
his
Mercies
from
day
to
day
,
often
visiting
you
with
his
Power
and
with
his
Presence
;
yea
,
when
you
sate
in
Darkness
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
Death
,
his
marvellous
Light
appear'd
unto
you
;
and
when
you
were
held
captive
in
the
covenant
of
Sin
and
Death
,
he
stretched
forth
his
Hand
to
redeem
●…
;
he
loved
you
while
you
knew
him
not
;
and
he
brought
Deliverance
out
of
a
●…nge
Land
,
where
you
were
strayed
among
Devourers
,
and
scatter'd
,
and
g●●e
a●●ray
,
as
Sheep
without
a
Shepherd
;
yea
,
when
you
were
dead
in
Transgression
,
he
said
unto
you
,
Live
;
and
he
also
bound
you
up
when
no
eye
pitty'd
you
,
even
then
when
you
were
Enemies
to
him
,
walking
in
the
Va●●t●en
of
your
own
hearts
,
and
knew
not
him
who
lives
forever
,
who
had
been
soug●●
by
you
,
but
not
found
;
in
that
very
day
he
sent
to
visit
you
with
his
E●…
Gospel
of
Peace
and
Truth
,
to
gather
you
unto
himself
(

his
powerful
Voice

and
his
Truth
was
declared
in
the
Demonstration
of
the

and
the
Power
of
the
Lord
was
made
manifest
in
you
,
to
the
bringing
of
you
from
Darkness
to
Light

from

which
had
reign'd
over
you

Yea

the
Way
of

was

that

in
you

the

reacheth
unto
you
by
the
Mouthes

to
the
revealing
of
Sin
,
and
judging
it
by
his
Righteous
Law

in
your
hearts

causing
his
Terror
to
be
known
among
you

and
his

reached
your

and
in
that
day
beautiful
was
his
Presence
〈◊〉
you

and
precious
was
his
Truth
among
you
,
in
your
first
Love
;
and
his
Li●●t
and
Power
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
his
Ways
were
pleasant
to
you
;
and
the
S●…l
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
which
you
receiv'd
with
Joy
,
grew
up
in
you

at
that
day

the
Lord
loved
you

his
Presence
was

you

whom
he
begat

Everlasting
Word

that
you

be
a
Praise
unto
him
forever
:
And
when
the
fear
of
the
Lord
and
his
J●●g●●nts
were
placed
among
you
,
and
your
Hearts
were
broken
,
and
while
you
were
of
a
hungering
Soul
,
and
thirsty
after
the
Lord
,
then
was
it
well
with
you
,
and
the
Day
of
Peace
dawn'd
unto
you
,
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
was
●we●t
unto
you
;
and
he
was
gladly
receiv'd
that
came
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
B●t
O
how
have
some
of
you
lost
your
first
Love
,
and
are
again
darkened
,
and
ready
to
faint
,
and
to
turn
aside
for
a
thing
of
nought
?
And
how
do
such
grieve
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
vex
his
Righteous
Soul
,
and
are
become
a
S●●de●
to
him
,
in
dishonouring
his
Name
;
the
envious
man
having
entered
,
●nd
sown
his
Seed
in
some
of
you
,
and
brought
forth
Strife
,
and
Divisions
,
and
Disorders
among
you
,
which
are
not
of
the
Father
,
nor
of
the
Truth
,
and
Prejudice
,
and
Evil-Surmisings
,
and
secret
Jealousies
one
against
another
is
risen
in
you
;
all
which
is
to
be
condemned
,
with
the
Light
,
for
the
Fire
;
I
judge
it
all
under
my
Feet
,
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
am
in
that
which
reigns
over
it
all
;
and
through
these
things
Unity
is
decay'd
,
and
Love
is
waxed
cold
,
and
there
is
fainting
in
the
way
,
and
the
Zeal
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
perisheth
,
which
ought
to
be
among
you
;
and
Rendings
and
Tearings
,
Biting
and
Devouring
one
another
,
and
striving
for
Mastery
there
is
,
which
ought
not
to
be
,
which
the
Wrath
of
God
is
against
,
all
this
is
out
of
the
Light
,
out
of
the
Wisdom
and
Counsel
of
God
.
My
Spirit
is
vexed
,
and
my
Heart
is
troubled
within
me
,
because
of
these
things
(
not
for
my self
,
but
for
you
,
and
for
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
over
whom
I
am
jealous
with
a
Godly
Jealousie
)
that
you
may
not
perish
,
nor
his
Glory
be
dispised
among
the
Heathen
?
What
mean
you
thus
to
deal
against
the
Lord
,
in
dishonouring
his
Name
in
the
sight
of
the
Enemy
,
even
to
the
wounding
of
your
own
souls
,
and
to
the
piercing
of
the
hearts
of
the
Faithful
,
who
have
watched
over
you
,
and
been
Messengers
of
Glad-tidings
unto
you
from
the
Lord
?
Every
one
of
you
in
particular
be
awakened
and
stirr'd
up
;
and
fear
before
the
Lord
;
and
come
to
the
Light
,
which
the
Son
of
God
has
lighted
you
withal
;
and
search
your
own
hearts
,
and
try
your selves
,
that
the
ground
of
these
things
may
be
seen
,
and
condemn'd
,
and
remov'd
;
and
Love
may
yet
spring
amongst
you
to
the
Lord
,
and
one
to
another
.
O
Friends
!
Consider
,
It
was
one
Father
that
begat
you
into
the
Truth
,
which
is
but
one
,
by
one
Word
of
Life
,
which
is
not
divided
;
and
you
were
begotten
unto
him
,
and
not
unto
your selves
:
And
Christ
Jesus
(
which
is
but
one
,
the
same
to
day
,
yesterday
,
and
forever
;
who
is
the
Foundation
of
God
,
and
abides
forever
)
was
preached
unto
you
all
,
to
be
the
Way
,
the
Truth
,
the
Life
and
Salvation
,
and
there
is
none
besides
him
;
why
then
are
there
Divisions
amongst
you
,
and
some
for
one
,
and
some
for
another
?
And
herein
are
you
carnal
,
and
your
minds
abroad
,
and
not'staid
upon
him
,
which
gives
the
increase
;
and
all
this
is
to
be
judged
with
the
Life
of
God
:
Wherefore
I
beseech
you
,
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
as
you
love
him
and
his
Glory
;
yea
,
as
you
love
your
own
souls
,
Come
to
the
Light
,
which
lets
you
see
all
this
,
and
condemns
it
:
and
strive
not
one
with
another
,
nor
exalt
not
your selves
one
above
another
;
but
let
all
that
be
condemned
;
and
all
your
evil
Surmisings
,
and
foolish
Jealousies
,
&
separate
Worshippings
,
&
Backbitings
be
brought
to
Judgment
,
and
let
condemnation
pass
upon
it
all
,
never
more
to
appear
to
hinder
your
Fellowship
with
the
Lord
;
and
know
the
Life
of
God
in
you
all
,
which
is
but
one
,
which
is
not
at
strife
,
nor
divided
;
and
let
that
arise
,
that
all
Vails
may
be
taken
off
,
and
Hardness
of
heart
judged
,
and
the
Countenance
of
the
Lord
may
shine
upon
you
;
when
that
exalted
spirit
,
which
has
appear'd
in
some
,
is
brought
down
,
of
which
I
charge
you
all
to
beware
,
lest
there
be
a
total
departing
from
the
Lord
,
and
his
Name
be
reproached
through
you
among
the
Heathen
;
and
it
had
been
better
for
such
they
had
never
been
born
.
Therefore
,
I
say
unto
you
all
,
lay
it
to
heart
,
till
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
take
it
away
,
and
purifie
your
hearts
from
all
these
things
which
ariseth
out
of
that
which
is
not
of
the
Father
,
that
my
joy
may
be
renewed
,
who
have
been
in
travel
for
you
,
tell
Christ
be
formed
in
you
,
that
he
alone
may
rule
in
you
over
all

Something
of
TRUTH
Made
Manifest
(
In
Relation
to
a
Dispute
at
Draton
,
in
the
County
of
Middlesex
,
in
the
first
Moneth
last
)

The
QUAKERS
▪
ROUNDS
,
OR
A
Faithful
Account
,
&c.
FOrasmuch
as
one
(
who
hath
(
I
suppose
)
ambitiously
stiled
himself
Mr.
Philip
Taverner
)
hath
taken
in
hand
to
set
forth
to
the
view
of
the
World
an
Account
,
and
Relation
of
a
Dispute
,
hapning
in
the
eleaventh
Moneth
last
,
at
Draton
,
near
Colebrook
;
to
which
Relation
I
am
a
little
engaged
to
write
something
by
way
of
answer
thereunto
,
that
all
people
may
know
the
Truth
;
and
being
the
Truth
is
somewhat
concerned
herein
,
that
is
the
Reason
wherefore
I
have
taken
in
hand
to
write
a
little
by
way
of
answer
to
his
Relation
,
being
without
any
prejudice
towards
the
man
,
as
concerning
any
Wrong
he
hath
done
to
me
,
though
me
,
as
well
as
the
Truth
,
he
hath
wronged
,
as
may
appear
to
such
who
desire
to
know
the
Truth
.
It
's
true
,
a
publique
dispute
I
had
,
the
time
and
place
mentioned
,
with
a
company
of
Priests
,
and
this
same
Philip
Taverner
was
one
of
them
;
and
the
occasion
of
the
Dispute
was
thus
;
I
being
a
few
weeks
before
at
a
Meeting
with
some
Friends
in
the
said
Town
,
one
Richard
Goodgroom
in
his
relation
mentioned
was
present
at
the
hearing
of
what
was
spoken
,
but
at
that
time
did
not
object
any
thing
,
though
afterwards
in
London
,
and
other
places
,
he
went
up
and
down
,
in
a
backbiting
manner
,
and
gave
forth
,
That
I
had
held
forth
blasphemous
Doctrines
,
or
the
like
;
whereupon
I
much
desir'd
a
Dispute
for
the
tryal
of
those
things
;
and
it
was
accomplished
;
and
that
day
the
Truth
was
much
made
manifest
,
and
Deceit
confounded
.
And
as
to
all
the
things
objected
against
me
by
Richard
Goodgroom
,
which
he
would
have
seemed
to
have
taken
great
occasion
thereby
,
as
if
some
great
matter
of
Heresie
and
Error
had
been
utter'd
by
me
:
I
say
,
the
very
Truth
of
all
these
things
was
demonstrated
,
according
as
I
had
laid
them
down
,
and
his
Arguments
against
them
made
of
none
effect
:
And
though
such
as
hardened
their
Hearts
might
go
unsatisfied
,
and
in
greater
Unbelief
then
they
came
;
yet
I
am
sure
,
the
Upright-hearted
,
and
such
as
desired
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
were
wholy
satisfied
;
and
this
many
can
give
Testimony
of
with
me
.
And
though
by
his
Relation
it
may
appear
otherwise
to
some
,
yet
wherein
he
hath
related
falsly
,
it
shall
fall
upon
his
own
head
;
and
his
Folly
shall
truly
more
appear
in
the
End
,
then
he
would
have
,
or
seem
to
cause
any
in
me
to
appear
at
this
present
;
and
so
he
might
with
more
Credit
to
himself
been
silent
,
then
to
have
meddled
in
that
wherein
he
hath
shewed
himself
so
imperfect
.
For
I
believe
,
That
this
same
Philip
Taverner
hath
given
a
Relation
of
four
times
as
much
as
he
did
speak
at
that
Meeting
;
and
hath
related
;
as
though
he
spake
that
which
he
never
uttered
,
by
so
many
times
fo
much
as
I
have
said
;
and
hath
not
related
so
much
by
many
times
,
as
was
spoken
by
me
,
and
them
of
my
part
,
as
many
may
witness
:
Which
Work
of
his
seems
not
to
be
perfect
,
neither
yet
altogether
honest
,
as
sober
Men
may
judge
;
but
such
a
thing
must
redown
more
to
his
own
Dishonour
,
then
to
the
Truth
's
Disadvantage
.
And
first
,
As
to
the
Title
of
his
false
Relation
,
which
is
stiled
,
The
Quakers
Rounds
,
or
,
A
Faithful
Account
,
&c.
To
this
I
answer
,
That
the
very
Frontispiece
,
and
Title
of
his
Book
,
savours
of
a
vain
,
light
,
scornful
spirit
;
and
so
every
Spiritual
Man
may
judge
of
it
to
be
so
.
But
why
dost
thou
Philip
Taverner
say
,
A
Faithful
Account
,
but
that
to
confirm
Falshood
with
audacious
words
,
having
a
shew
of
Confidence
upon
it
,
thereby
the
more
easily
to
enter
ento
the
Hearts
of
the
People
,
as
if
it
were
irreprovable
;
coming
also
from
the
hand
,
and
under
the
hand
of
a
Mr.
Philip
,
&c.
having
so
stil'd
thy self
to
make
thy
Fame
great
,
and
to
publish
thy
Work
under
a
seeming
Authority
;
but
hadst
thou
had
more
Humility
,
less
Pride
would
have
appear'd
,
and
hadst
thou
had
a
better
Heart
,
less
of
Unfaithful
Dealing
would
have
proceeded
from
thee
:
But
,
as
I
have
said
,
Evil
shall
fall
upon
himself
,
that
hatcheth
it
for
another
.
But
why
dost
thou
say
,
Faithful
Account
,
in
the
Title
Page
?
Signifying
to
the
World
,
that
all
in
it
is
true
,
and
nothing
of
Truth
wanting
in
relation
to
that
Dispute
;
and
yet
in
thy
Epistle
sayst
,
Thou
dost
not
undertake
to
set
down
the
multitude
of
words
that
that
day
was
fill'd
withal
:
and
pag.
29.
sayst
,
That
a
third
man
of
the
Company
made
a
large
Discourse
concerning
the
Person
justified
;
but
relatest
not
one
word
what
was
said
by
him
;
and
here
thou
hast
not
dealt
faithfully
,
nor
given
a
faithful
Account
:
And
pag.
31.
thou
sayst
,
E.
B.
at
such
a
time
,
did
multiply
many
words
;
but
dost
not
relate
his
particular
words
;
and
so
hast
not
in
this
dealt
faithfully
,
nor
given
a
faithful
Account
:
And
also
in
many
other
things
thou
hast
not
related
what
was
spoke
at
all
;
and
thus
thou
hast
contradicted
thy self
,
in
saying
,
A
Faithful
Account
;
and
yet
confessing
in
effect
,
Unfaithfulness
.
And
thy
own
words
being
compar'd
together
,
prove
a
contradiction
in
thy
own
Mind
and
Pen
;
for
,
to
give
a
Faithful
Account
,
as
thou
sayst
thou
hast
,
is
to
relate
the
whole
Truth
,
and
not
to
keep
any
back
;
neither
to
speak
more
then
the
Truth
,
by
adding
thereto
any
thing
.
But
again
,
thou
sayst
,
Thou
undertakest
not
to
relate
the
multitude
,
or
every
particular
of
words
;
neither
dost
relate
what
particular
words
such
a
one
and
such
a
one
spake
;
but
sayst
,
He
said
so
,
and
multiply'd
many
words
,
not
saying
what
his
words
were
:
And
therefore
thou
hast
heaped
a
Contradiction
upon
thy
own
head
,
and
it
shall
remain
,
till
it
hath
made
thee
ashamed
.
And
now
as
to
the
particulars
,
upon
which
the
Dispute
depended
,
so
far
as
they
are
truly
laid
down
in
my
words
;
and
in
my
intent
and
meaning
I
am
ready
to
justifie
them
;
yea
,
at
any
place
or
time
convenient
;
or
before
any
Auditory
whatsoever
,
upon
lawful
Occasion
;
but
as
thou
hast
laid
them
down
,
or
some
of
them
,
thou
hast
wronged
me
and
the
Truth
,
and
either
not
understood
my
meaning
,
or
subverted
and
perverted
my
words
to
thy
own
Advantage
.
And
whereas
in
the
Epistle
thou
sayest
,
I
would
not
own
them
,
viz.
The
Particulars
laid
down
,
to
be
mine
,
at
first
;
and
yet
owned
every
one
of
them
in
the
Discouse
,
&c.
Answ.
I
did
not
own
them
;
but
how
?
and
how
did
I
own
them
,
but
thus
?
The
Objector
had
laid
down
some
of
the
Particulars
,
not
in
my
words
,
which
made
them
vary
from
the
intent
of
my
meaning
;
and
others
of
the
Particulars
he
had
laid
down
utterly
false
;
and
so
I
did
deny
them
,
as
coming
from
him
:
but
as
to
the
substance
of
some
of
the
Particulars
,
I
did
own
,
having
laid
them
down
according
to
my
own
honest
Meaning
,
in
my
own
sound
Expression
of
words
;
and
thereupon
I
engaged
a
Dispute
upon
the
Particulars
,
having
first
denied
them
,
as
laid
down
by
him
,
and
in
his
corrupt
Expressions
;
and
then
owned
them
in
the
simplicity
,
in
the
words
,
as
by
me
uttered
;
I
mean
some
of
them
,
but
some
I
altogether
denied
.
And
as
to
speak
of
that
Text
,
Ioh.
5.
39.
By
which
(
sayest
thou
)
I
endeavoured
to
skin
over
what
I
spoke
,
but
to
no
purpose
.
I
do
deny
thy
words
;
for
,
that
same
verse
shall
stand
a
Witness
for
me
:
and
against
thee
,
in
all
the
World
;
and
that
verse
shall
prove
,
that
some
of
the
Scriptures
were
spoken
to
the
World
,
and
not
to
the
Saints
;
and
the
Truth
it self
is
my
Covering
,
and
I
need
no
other
thing
to
skin
over
,
as
thou
scornfully
speakest
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
There
was
just
matter
of
Reproof
in
the
Dispute
,
in
both
Parties
,
&c.
Answ.
Whilst
thou
hast
condemned
others
,
thou
hast
judged
thy self
,
who
was
of
the
one
Party
,
a
strong
Contender
for
the
Priests
Party
;
and
having
now
accused
both
Parties
,
wouldst
clear
thy self
to
be
of
neither
,
but
canst
not
;
for
,
it
is
known
thou
didst
take
their
part
:
and
in
the
Title
thou
sayest
The
Discourse
was
betwixt
a
party
of
them
called
Quakers
,
with
Mr.
Philip
Taverner
,
&c.
where
thou
dost
own
thy self
to
be
one
(
and
reckonest
thy self
the
foremost
Master
)
of
the
Disputants
:
And
now
,
upon
better
considerations
I
think
,
when
thou
hast
searched
into
their
Folly
,
with
whom
thou
wast
joyned
,
thou
wouldst
absent
thy self
to
be
none
of
them
,
but
a
third
Party
:
But
let
me
tell
thee
,
What
Disorder
,
Prejudice
and
Passion
,
as
thou
speakest
of
,
that
was
amongst
the
Priests
,
thou
hast
a
part
in
,
and
must
own
their
Sin
,
and
their
Condemnation
;
for
thou
art
also
guilty
:
And
that
there
was
any
Passion
(
except
pure
Zeal
for
God
and
his
Truth
,
which
thou
mightest
falsly
so
call
)
or
Prejudice
,
or
such
like
amongst
us
,
I
do
deny
it
,
and
know
thee
to
have
born
a
false
Testimony
;
and
all
thy
Covers
,
as
if
thou
wert
a
Moderator
,
or
the
like
,
in
thy
speaking
,
will
not
hide
thee
,
nor
cover
thee
from
what
I
have
said
of
thee
.
But
as
to
the
things
in
particular
,
I
now
come
,
and
may
shew
what
my
words
are
,
and
the
Ground
of
them
,
and
how
I
laid
them
down
,
and
upon
what
Occasion
in
the
first
Meeting
,
whereupon
the
Dispute
did
arise
;
and
I
do
not
here
go
about
to
give
a
perfect
Relation
of
that
Dispute
;
for
my
Memory
hath
not
contain'd
what
passed
;
but
as
to
the
intent
and
meaning
of
my
words
,
I
would
give
all
the
true
knowledge
thereof
,
and
how
far
I
do
own
the
Particulars
charged
against
me
.
First
,
As
to
that
,
The
Scripture
are
not
the
WORD
of
God
,
because
the
Devil
spoke
something
,
and
Pharoah
something
,
which
is
there
written
.
Answer
,
There
is
some
truth
in
this
;
but
my
words
were
drawn
up
by
him
at
the
shortest
,
and
the
most
for
his
own
Advantage
laid
down
by
him
:
For
I
do
remember
,
That
in
the
first
Meeting
,
I
was
speaking
concerning
the
Word
of
God
,
and
concerning
the
Scriptures
,
which
are
a
Declaration
thereof
;
and
shewing
the
difference
betwixt
the
Word
,
and
the
Letter
,
and
Scriptures
;
for
the
Word
of
God
was
in
the
Beginning
,
and
the
World
was
made
by
it
,
and
it
endureth
forever
:
But
the
Scriptures
were
not
in
the
Beginning
;
for
Moses
was
the
first
that
wrote
any
thing
of
the
Scripture
,
who
was
long
after
the
Beginning
;
neither
was
the
World
made
by
them
;
neither
can
they
endure
forever
;
and
therefore
the
Letter
,
the
Scriptures
,
are
not
the
Word
of
God
,
which
the
Scriptures
call
the
Word
;
for
,
also
in
the
Scriptures
are
written
what
the
Devil
spoke
,
and
what
Pharoah
,
and
other
Wicked
Men
spoke
;
and
therefore
they
are
not
the
Word
of
God
,
but
(
as
I
have
said
)
a
Declaration
of
the
Word
;
and
what
is
written
of
is
the
Word
:
but
the
Scriptures
(
the
Writings
)
are
not
,
but
a
Testimony
and
Declaration
of
the
Word
.
Much
more
as
to
this
might
be
said
,
and
was
spoken
by
me
at
the
Meeting
,
which
is
not
particularly
related
;
and
this
is
sufficient
to
any
honest
man
,
that
is
Spiritual
,
who
hath
an
Understanding
to
judge
hereof
.
Now
I
suppose
themselves
,
none
of
them
are
so
ignorant
,
as
they
will
say
,
The
Scriptures
are
that
WORD
which
was
in
the
Beginning
,
and
which
shall
Endure
forever
:
But
(
say
they
)
the
Scriptures
are
another
Word
,
a
Declarative
Word
,
or
such
like
termes
.
Now
when
we
dispute
,
or
contend
with
any
about
the
Word
of
God
,
we
dispute
what
that
Word
is
which
the
Scripture
saith
is
the
Word
;
and
do
deny
that
Word
to
be
the
Scriptures
(
Writings
)
though
still
we
do
own
the
Scriptures
a
Declaration
of
that
very
WORD
of
GOD
;
and
that
the
Scriptures
,
in
any
place
,
do
call
themselves
the
Word
,
or
signifie
so
much
,
I
do
deny
it
;
and
it
is
left
for
any
of
our
Opposers
,
to
prove
it
that
can
;
if
they
do
,
I
will
confess
it
to
be
the
Word
,
and
revoke
all
that
I
have
spoken
to
the
contrary
.
And
as
for
thy
Deductions
and
Consequences
,
drawn
from
my
words
,
I
do
deny
them
;
for
they
are
not
to
me
,
but
will
turn
upon
thy self
;
for
thou
sayest
,
A
strange
kind
of
Assertion
,
as
if
nothing
of
the
Mind
,
Will
,
and
Counsel
of
God
were
declared
in
the
Scripture
:
And
whitherto
can
be
the
tendency
of
such
giddy
Doctrines
,
then
to
a
weakening
of
the
Authority
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
begetting
Slightings
and
undervaluing
Thoughts
,
and
that
the
effects
may
be
lightly
esteeming
the
Scriptures
?
These
and
such
Deductions
,
hast
thou
drawn
,
through
thy
Ignorance
,
from
my
words
;
from
all
which
I
am
clear
,
as
having
no
Intent
to
any
such
things
;
nor
any
Intent
,
but
to
testifie
to
the
Pure
Innocent
TRUTH
:
And
thy
Deductions
are
far
more
ignorant
and
impudent
,
then
my
Assertion
is
strange
;
and
let
thy
Consequences
be
what
they
will
from
my
words
,
the
truth
of
my
words
will
justifie
me
in
the
Sight
of
God
and
his
Saints
;
for
,
I
do
honour
the
Scriptures
above
other
Writings
,
and
give
them
the
Authority
,
and
Esteem
,
and
Respect
due
unto
them
,
and
more
I
dare
not
.
And
some
of
thy
pages
I
pass
over
,
as
not
worth
taking
notice
of
;
only
I
do
say
,
Thou
hast
wronged
me
,
in
not
relating
so
much
as
was
spoken
by
us
,
by
far
;
and
in
relating
more
then
was
spoken
by
thee
,
or
thy
Party
.
And
the
next
thing
I
note
is
this
,
where
R.
G.
said
,
he
would
,
and
went
about
to
prove
,
That
the
Letter
is
the
Word
of
God
;
but
was
not
,
nor
is
ever
able
to
prove
:
and
thou
hast
changed
the
words
of
his
Argument
in
thy
Relation
,
from
what
they
were
as
he
laid
them
down
in
the
Dispute
,
from
called
,
to
owned
;
for
thus
his
words
were
laid
down
,
at
that
time
,
said
he
,
That
which
Christ
and
the
Apostles
called
the
Word
of
God
,
is
indeed
the
Word
of
God
;
but
Christ
and
the
Apostles
called
the
Scriptures
the
Word
of
God
:
Ergo.
Now
I
denied
,
and
do
yet
,
that
it
can
be
proved
,
That
ever
Christ
and
the
Apostles
called
the
Scriptures
the
WORD
of
GOD
;
and
neither
do
thy
Proofs
now
,
nor
his
then
,
of
the
minor
Proposition
,
prove
,
That
the
Scriptures
(
viz.
)
the
Writing
,
were
ever
called
the
Word
;
although
it
be
true
,
that
the
Pharisees
made
the
Word
of
God
of
no
Authority
by
their
Traditions
:
But
that
Scripture
doth
not
say
,
That
the
Letter
is
the
Word
,
which
thing
he
was
to
prove
,
or
else
he
said
nothing
to
the
purpose
.
And
as
to
the
other
Scripture
,
1
Thes.
1.
13.
that
will
not
prove
that
the
Apostle
called
the
Letter
the
Word
;
for
it
was
the
Gospel
which
they
received
as
the
Word
of
God
,
and
not
the
Letter
:
The
Gospel
is
the
Word
of
God
,
not
denied
by
me
,
but
sealed
unto
:
but
the
Gospel
is
not
the
Letter
,
and
Writings
;
but
the
Gospel
is
the
Thing
written
of
;
and
that
is
it
which
the
Apostle
means
to
be
the
Word
of
God
;
for
that
is
the
Word
,
which
he
preached
to
the
Thessalonians
,
and
which
they
received
:
And
so
thy
Arguments
and
Proof
of
thy
minor
Position
is
deny'd
,
and
so
the
major
Position
falls
to
the
Ground
:
And
by
this
,
nor
any
other
Argument
,
can
all
you
Priests
of
England
prove
the
Letter
of
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
which
thing
R.
G.
took
in
hand
to
prove
,
but
could
not
;
and
would
have
cry'd
against
it
in
me
,
as
a
great
deal
of
Heresie
,
for
denying
it
;
but
Error
is
fallen
upon
his
own
Head
.
The
next
thing
I
note
,
is
in
pag.
13.
where
thou
wouldst
seem
to
cover
over
R.
G.
thou
sayest
,
his
words
were
not
,
That
I
had
the
thing
signified
in
my
hand
,
when
I
had
the
Bible
;
but
that
I
had
that
which
declares
of
it
.
Now
to
justifie
him
in
Evil
,
thou
hast
wronged
me
and
the
Truth
;
for
he
did
say
,
when
I
held
up
my
Bible
,
I
had
in
my
hand
the
thing
herein
signified
,
upon
this
very
Occasion
,
I
holding
up
my
Bible
in
my
hand
,
and
saying
to
this
very
effect
,
That
in
my
hand
,
I
had
the
thing
which
did
signifie
in
words
of
such
and
such
things
;
but
I
had
not
the
thing
signified
:
And
Richard
Goodgrom
made
answer
,
and
said
,
But
I
had
the
Thing
signified
;
and
this
some
can
witness
:
Whereupon
I
made
answer
,
and
said
,
If
it
be
so
,
that
I
have
the
Thing
signified
in
my
hand
,
then
I
have
God
,
and
Christ
,
and
the
Spirit
,
and
Heaven
,
and
Hell
,
and
Men
,
and
Beasts
,
and
all
things
that
herein
are
written
of
;
and
then
he
saw
the
Folly
of
his
own
Ignorance
,
I
perceive
.
And
much
more
,
might
be
related
as
upon
this
Subject
,
which
was
said
on
both
Parties
,
which
I
desire
not
much
to
recollect
,
only
what
I
have
said
I
can
certainly
remember
,
and
can
justifie
it
:
And
I
must
confess
that
,
Philip
Taverner
hath
done
pretty
fairly
,
though
in
some
things
he
hath
not
done
so
.
And
no
was
to
the
next
thing
charged
against
me
in
the
Relation
,
being
placed
the
second
,
though
it
is
the
third
,
That
evil
Motions
,
not
consented
to
,
were
not
sin
.
In
the
first
private
Meeting
,
I
remember
my
words
were
laid
down
thus
,
and
so
I
own'd
them
in
the
Dispute
,
That
Temptations
or
Motions
unto
evil
,
are
not
sin
to
any
man
,
who
doth
not
consent
and
obey
to
serve
Temptations
or
evil
Motions
,
and
they
are
not
sin
to
the
man
,
except
they
be
consented
to
by
the
man
;
and
this
was
proved
in
the
Example
of
Christ
,
who
was
tempted
of
the
Devil
,
and
had
motions
to
do
evil
,
yet
did
not
consent
nor
commit
sin
;
for
he
resisted
and
overcame
the
Tempter
;
and
so
the
Devil's
Motions
and
Temptations
,
which
were
sin
in
themselves
,
yet
they
were
not
sin
to
Him
:
And
this
Proof
then
they
could
not
deny
,
neither
can
any
sober
or
upright
Man
.
And
so
in
the
Dispute
the
thing
was
put
to
a
farther
Question
,
thus
,
But
are
not
those
Motions
,
which
arise
out
of
a
Man
's
own
Heart
,
Sin
,
except
they
be
consented
to
?
To
which
I
was
willing
to
speak
something
,
and
to
own
the
very
TRUTH
;
and
to
justifie
,
that
there
is
a
State
,
wherein
Evil
Motions
may
rise
out
of
a
Man
's
own
Heart
which
are
Sin
in
themselves
,
and
Sin
in
the
man
;
yet
not
sin
to
the
man
,
if
he
doth
not
consent
to
them
,
obey
them
,
and
fulfil
them
;
and
the
Scripture
doth
prove
it
,
Rom.
7.
where
he
saith
,
It
is
no
more
I
that
do
it
,
but
sin
that
dwelleth
in
me
,
for
in
his
Mind
he
served
the
Law
of
God
,
and
with
his
Mind
did
not
consent
to
the
Motions
of
Evil
and
Sin
;
and
the
Sin
was
not
his
,
nor
reckoned
against
him
by
the
Lord
,
because
with
his
Mind
he
consented
not
;
and
this
no
Upright
Man
can
deny
.
And
also
,
I
apply'd
my self
at
that
time
,
for
Witness
,
to
the
Experience
of
sober
people
and
Christians
,
Whether
many
times
there
had
not
been
evil
Motions
in
their
Hearts
,
presenting
themselves
,
to
which
they
had
not
consented
;
but
the
Lord
had
given
them
Power
over
them
,
to
resist
them
,
and
deny
them
,
and
they
were
not
overcome
of
them
?
And
whether
ever
they
were
accused
and
condemned
for
such
Motions
,
which
the
Lord
gave
them
power
against
?
Or
,
Whether
the
rather
they
had
not
Peace
and
Joy
in
the
Lord
,
who
had
discovered
to
them
,
and
given
them
power
over
the
Evil
which
had
presented
it self
?
And
I
also
gave
them
that
which
I
had
witnessed
concerning
the
thing
,
as
a
Testimony
,
agreeing
with
the
Scriptures
,
to
that
particular
:
And
though
the
Relation
saith
,
as
if
I
spoke
of
my
present
State
to
be
so
;
but
herein
the
Hearers
were
mistaken
,
if
so
they
understood
me
;
for
,
my
present
State
is
another
,
then
what
it
once
was
;
I
bless
the
Lord
,
I
speak
without
Boasting
:
And
my
present
State
I
did
not
then
,
nor
now
shall
declare
;
for
I
am
not
known
to
the
World
,
nor
desire
to
be
,
as
what
my
State
is
:
But
this
was
my
Intent
,
and
is
in
these
things
;
My
State
was
,
say
I
,
yea
,
I
believe
from
Ten
Years
old
,
till
many
Years
after
,
that
many
times
I
had
Evil
Motions
arising
in
my
own
Heart
,
which
sometimes
overcame
me
,
and
sometimes
the
Lord
gave
me
to
overcome
them
,
so
that
I
consented
not
to
them
,
nor
obey'd
,
nor
follow'd
them
;
and
when
they
did
overcome
me
,
and
lead
me
aside
,
then
was
I
troubled
and
condemned
of
the
Lord
;
for
they
were
reckoned
to
be
my
Sins
,
when
I
consented
;
and
many
times
the
Lord
gave
me
power
over
them
,
and
I
consented
not
,
but
resisted
them
,
and
denied
them
,
and
then
had
I
great
Peace
and
Joy
in
the
Lord
,
and
no
Condemnation
;
and
this
was
my
Experience
for
some
years
together
,
though
my
present
State
be
another
Condition
,
of
which
I
shall
not
speak
,
as
not
being
needful
at
this
time
;
and
this
is
the
Truth
,
which
no
sober
Christia●
can
deny
.
It
s
true
,
we
spent
a
little
time
in
disputing
upon
those
things
,
but
to
little
purpose
,
as
on
their
part
;
for
what
I
then
said
,
many
of
the
people
saw
to
be
the
very
Truth
;
and
all
were
well
satisfied
,
except
such
as
might
harden
their
hearts
:
and
much
more
passed
betwixt
us
.
And
as
to
this
thing
,
which
I
cannot
relate
,
only
P.
T.
as
he
began
,
so
he
goes
on
,
giving
a
Report
in
his
Relation
of
much
more
then
himself
spoke
,
and
a
great
deal
less
then
we
spoke
,
which
thing
in
him
was
not
very
fair
not
honest
:
For
,
I
then
proved
by
many
Scriptures
,
That
some
were
perfect
in
this
life
,
1
Cor.
2.
5.
even
perfect
without
Sin
,
Iohn
1.
47.
1
Iohn
3.
7.
and
yet
I
did
declare
at
that
time
,
That
many
of
the
Saints
and
Children
of
God
,
were
not
come
to
the
State
of
Perfection
,
which
admits
of
no
Addition
;
for
many
of
the
Saints
daily
receive
more
and
more
of
God's
Wisdom
,
and
of
his
Power
and
Life
revealed
in
them
,
wherein
they
grow
up
to
God
from
Strength
to
Strength
:
And
though
they
did
so
much
contend
against
it
,
yet
in
the
end
were
forced
to
confess
to
the
substance
of
what
we
spake
,
as
to
the
particular
of
Perfection
.
The
next
thing
is
concerning
Perfection
;
and
I
am
charged
with
holding
,
That
Perfection
is
attainable
in
this
Life
;
which
thing
I
did
hold
forth
and
contend
for
,
and
am
not
now
ashamed
of
it
;
and
my
very
Proofs
,
which
then
I
used
,
some
of
which
are
related
by
P.
T.
are
sufficient
to
prove
the
particular
,
if
I
should
say
nothing
more
;
and
even
as
the
thing
is
related
,
though
what
I
spoke
,
the
whole
is
not
related
by
much
,
as
about
this
particular
of
perfection
;
but
what
is
related
shall
stand
as
a
Witness
for
me
,
and
against
them
that
do
so
much
plead
against
Perfection
,
even
of
such
perfection
to
be
without
sin
in
this
Life
:
And
to
this
I
shall
say
little
more
,
but
leave
his
own
Relation
unto
the
consideration
of
sober
People
,
onely
must
say
,
that
P.
T.
hath
belyed
his
own
Memory
,
in
saying
his
Relation
is
A
faithful
account
,
and
yet
hath
related
much
more
then
he
spoke
also
about
this
Particular
.
As
to
the
next
thing
which
is
objected
against
me
,
That
the
Scriptures
were
given
to
the
World
,
and
not
to
the
Saints
:
this
is
utterly
false
,
and
was
neither
thus
spoken
by
me
,
nor
yet
my
meaning
;
and
at
the
Dispute
I
did
deny
that
I
spoke
the
words
,
neither
had
I
any
such
intent
as
they
have
deducted
,
though
still
I
do
confidently
affirm
,
That
that
Scripture
,
Iohn
5.
39.
was
spoken
to
the
Unbelieving
Iews
,
that
went
about
to
Kill
CHRIST
,
who
had
never
heard
God's
Voice
,
nor
seen
his
Shape
,
nor
had
not
Christ's
words
abiding
in
them
,
and
to
them
he
spoke
that
Scripture
mention'd
;
neither
had
I
any
such
meaning
,
but
that
the
Saints
and
all
sober
people
,
and
all
people
might
search
the
Scriptures
,
though
such
a
bad
consequence
they
have
drawn
upon
my
words
,
and
said
,
It
is
a
giddy
assertion
that
hath
dropped
from
me
,
and
yet
himself
is
forced
to
confess
what
I
spoke
is
true
,
to
wit
,
that
that
Scripture
in
the
fifth
of
Iohn
was
spoken
to
the
unbelieving
Iews
,
and
not
to
the
Saints
;
and
yet
P.
T.
to
confound
himself
,
confesses
that
I
said
,
The
Epistles
were
given
to
the
Saints
;
and
this
is
a
Contradiction
from
his
own
Pen
:
First
,
to
say
,
that
I
asserted
,
the
Scriptures
were
given
to
the
World
,
and
not
to
the
Saints
,
and
yet
saith
,
I
confess
the
Epistles
were
given
to
the
Saints
,
which
are
some
part
of
the
Scriptures
.
And
whereas
P.
T.
further
speaks
,
questioning
in
himself
,
how
far
I
own
the
Authority
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
such
like
,
which
shews
his
ignorance
,
or
his
unbelief
;
for
I
have
,
and
do
here
again
speak
plainly
,
That
we
do
own
the
Authority
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
we
through
patience
,
and
comfort
of
the
Scriptures
have
had
hope
:
and
they
are
able
to
make
the
man
of
God
perfect
through
Faith
;
and
what
Christ
and
the
Apostles
owned
the
Scriptures
to
be
,
the
same
we
do
,
and
neither
more
nor
less
;
and
in
this
we
are
approved
of
God
,
and
let
men
judge
what
they
will
.
And
whereas
P.
T.
further
speaks
something
of
Iesuites
,
and
saith
,
he
does
not
apprehend
me
to
be
of
that
measure
of
subtilty
,
which
is
found
among
men
of
that
Brother-hood
,
unless
saith
he
,
I
have
more
then
an
ordinary
Art
of
hiding
my self
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
,
Iesuites
I
deny
,
and
all
of
that
Fraternity
,
and
whatsoever
savours
of
Popery
;
yet
am
I
hidden
from
people
,
and
what
I
am
he
knows
not
,
neither
the
World
;
for
,
from
that
Wisdom
am
I
hid
,
neither
can
I
manifest
my self
to
that
Wisdom
that
is
devilish
,
and
knows
not
God
,
nor
the
least
of
his
Sons
and
Servants
;
for
in
all
those
things
of
which
we
then
discoursed
,
the
depth
thereof
could
hardly
be
spoken
of
;
because
of
the
darkness
of
peoples
understandings
.
And
especially
concerning
Justification
I
was
very
sparing
,
and
could
hardly
freely
declare
my self
;
yet
what
I
spoke
was
a
great
satisfaction
to
many
then
present
,
though
the
one
half
that
I
spoke
is
not
truely
related
;
though
so
much
as
is
related
shall
stand
a
sufficient
Witness
for
me
,
and
against
them
that
oppose
me
,
and
that
my
words
and
meanings
were
honest
.
This
was
the
thing
charged
upon
me
,
That
no
man
was
further
justified
,
then
he
was
sanctified
.
Now
my
intent
and
meaning
in
this
was
honest
;
and
as
about
this
Particular
much
was
spoken
,
which
now
I
do
not
recollect
to
repeat
;
onely
P.
T.
hath
hinted
in
short
at
things
how
they
passed
,
and
my
words
shall
be
for
ever
witnessed
,
That
Sanctification
is
a
Witness
of
Iustification
,
and
no
man
can
further
know
himself
to
be
justified
,
then
he
is
sanctified
;
nor
justified
,
then
he
is
restored
.
And
had
P.
T.
but
laid
down
my
full
answers
as
I
spoke
them
at
that
Dispute
,
there
would
have
been
no
need
to
have
written
any
thing
in
answer
;
onely
I
do
remember
I
did
stand
to
manifest
,
that
the
New
Birth
,
Sanctification
,
and
Justification
were
all
agreeing
in
one
,
and
not
one
without
another
;
and
that
Christ
wrought
Righteousness
perfectly
without
us
,
and
also
fulfilled
Righteousness
in
all
that
believe
;
and
no
man
is
justified
by
the
one
of
these
without
the
other
,
and
that
hath
not
the
other
;
and
they
hold
the
contrary
:
and
R.
G.
did
publickly
affirm
,
that
a
man
was
justified
by
Christ
,
excluding
the
New
Birth
,
and
the
work
of
Sanctification
,
which
I
denyed
and
must
always
deny
,
that
any
man
,
who
is
not
born
again
,
but
is
in
the
old
nature
,
and
not
sanctified
,
but
is
in
the
Pollutions
of
the
World
,
is
justified
by
Christ's
Righteousness
;
neither
can
he
in
that
State
,
till
he
be
born
again
,
and
Sanctified
,
have
any
benefit
,
or
manifestation
of
Justification
by
Christ
;
and
this
all
men
shall
witness
,
though
because
of
this
I
now
may
be
falsly
judged
:
And
though
R.
G.
did
openly
testifie
,
that
Christ
justified
Sinners
,
as
Sinners
,
yet
say
I
,
all
that
are
justified
,
are
justified
through
Faith
;
and
Faith
doth
purifie
the
Heart
,
as
was
largely
spoken
by
divers
of
us
at
that
Meeting
,
which
is
not
particularly
related
;
which
definition
of
our
Justification
,
they
could
not
except
against
;
for
we
never
were
,
nor
are
ashamed
to
declare
what
we
hold
concerning
Justification
,
which
is
through
Faith
in
the
Blood
of
Christ
,
the
Seed
of
the
Covenant
:
and
though
at
that
time
they
made
much
jangling
,
yet
to
no
purpose
,
as
to
convince
us
of
any
Error
,
or
any
sober
men
there
present
,
of
any
Error
in
us
,
as
concerning
that
thing
.
And
whereas
it
is
related
,
as
if
I
should
say
,
We
are
men
brought
up
at
Plow-tayle
,
and
understand
not
Schollar-like
terms
:
my
words
were
not
thus
spoken
,
but
upon
the
occasion
of
their
speaking
words
which
is
not
in
Scripture
Language
,
as
inherent
Righteousness
,
or
the
like
;
Whereupon
I
desired
them
to
keep
to
the
Form
of
sound
words
,
and
of
Scripture
Language
,
that
people
might
understand
what
they
spoke
;
for
said
I
,
ye
are
Schollars
as
you
profess
,
and
some
of
us
were
brought
up
at
Plow
or
Cart
,
and
may
be
do
not
understand
Schollar-like
terms
,
though
I
did
not
mean
all
of
us
;
and
what
some
of
us
do
understand
,
as
to
that
,
I
shall
not
now
speak
;
yet
this
I
say
,
the
least
of
us
do
understand
betwixt
Truth
and
Error
,
and
betwixt
that
which
is
Righteous
,
and
that
which
is
Unrighteous
,
and
in
that
is
more
peace
,
then
in
the
knowledge
of
Arts
or
Tongues
;
and
our
knowledge
in
that
,
is
as
Dung
and
Dross
in
comparison
of
the
other
.
And
as
to
Justification
,
upon
which
Subject
we
contended
a
long
time
,
though
they
foolishly
charged
us
with
it
,
we
do
deny
utterly
the
works
of
man
,
and
the
works
of
man's
righteousness
,
as
in
relation
to
our
Justification
,
and
that
it
is
only
and
wholly
by
the
Grace
and
Gift
of
God
,
and
the
Righteousness
of
Christ
,
who
is
revealed
in
all
that
believe
in
him
,
by
which
Justification
comes
;
yet
say
we
,
That
Faith
without
works
is
dead
,
and
will
not
justifie
a
man
;
but
by
that
Faith
which
brings
forth
works
,
even
the
works
of
God
in
us
and
through
us
,
by
that
Faith
are
we
justified
,
and
according
to
the
Apostle's
words
,
so
we
believe
;
not
by
works
of
Righteousness
which
we
have
done
,
nor
by
a
dead
Faith
without
Works
,
but
by
a
living
Faith
,
which
worketh
in
us
,
are
we
justified
;
let
vain
men
deduct
what
they
may
,
this
is
truth
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
all
men
.
These
indeed
are
the
Particulars
upon
which
the
Controversie
depended
;
and
having
been
some
hours
together
,
they
were
willing
to
depart
,
and
R.
G.
would
give
little
hearing
to
me
,
when
I
charged
him
with
something
uttered
by
him
,
at
divers
times
in
my
hearing
,
which
I
should
have
proved
to
be
unsound
Doctrine
and
Error
,
had
he
had
that
patience
to
have
stayed
:
and
whereas
P.
T.
doth
speak
of
having
a
Pope
in
our
Bellies
,
with
such
like
scornful
words
,
which
a
discreet
man
would
not
have
defiled
his
Mouth
withal
;
but
that
he
must
shew
himself
to
be
of
that
Generation
of
Priests
,
who
persecuted
the
Innocent
in
every
Age
:
and
for
his
telling
of
our
Error
,
and
recovering
of
our
feet
out
of
the
Snare
,
and
delivering
us
from
the
Delusion
;
its
true
,
his
words
stand
but
upon
a
supposition
,
and
that
supposition
stands
upon
the
Report
of
others
,
as
he
seems
to
intimate
,
which
is
but
a
thing
far
off
true
credit
;
for
what
Error
,
and
Snares
,
and
Delusion
,
did
P.
T.
convince
us
of
,
in
five
hours
discourse
?
not
any
at
all
;
but
the
rather
,
was
forced
to
confess
to
the
most
part
of
what
we
delivered
;
then
what
need
was
there
to
utter
these
his
words
in
writing
,
as
if
he
had
heard
some
great
Matter
of
Delusion
or
Error
?
but
all
these
his
words
I
do
bear
;
and
if
he
hath
harboured
such
thoughts
of
us
,
as
it
appears
too
much
by
his
words
,
let
him
cleanse
his
Heart
by
Repentance
,
lest
his
intended
evil
bruise
his
own
head
.
And
whereas
he
hath
commented
upon
a
Book
,
called
,
A
Standard
lifted
up
,
which
Book
I
own
,
and
that
which
is
therein
written
,
and
himself
is
forced
to
own
,
what
himself
objects
against
,
and
comments
upon
:
If
saith
he
,
E.
B.
means
so
and
so
,
then
his
words
are
truth
;
but
if
so
and
so
,
then
it
is
Pope-like
,
or
such
like
.
Alas
poor
man
!
Must
I
be
judged
upon
thy
own
meaning
?
nay
;
or
must
thy
interpretation
be
the
judge
upon
my
words
?
We
have
no
such
law
,
my
words
stand
true
,
as
I
have
laid
them
down
,
to
be
received
by
such
as
are
Spiritual
:
and
such
as
love
to
raise
constructions
falsly
,
where
there
is
no
just
ground
;
their
judgment
I
do
deny
;
and
Charity
will
teach
P.
T.
to
judge
upon
the
best
sence
;
and
so
let
him
own
my
words
as
truth
,
and
judge
himself
for
his
false
construction
of
true
and
upright
words
;
onely
this
I
take
notice
of
,
saith
P.
T.
A
perfect
Conformity
to
the
Law
of
God
in
our
own
Persons
,
though
not
wrought
in
our
own
strength
,
but
in
the
Strength
and
Power
of
Grace
,
the
Spirit
working
all
in
us
,
and
for
us
,
is
no
other
then
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
.
I
need
not
much
strive
to
confound
this
black
Doctrine
by
many
Arguments
,
or
multitude
of
words
;
for
the
thing
,
as
laid
down
in
his
own
words
,
is
vile
and
abominable
to
the
understanding
of
any
spiritual
man
;
for
say
I
,
if
it
be
the
Spirit
working
in
us
,
and
for
us
,
not
in
our
own
strength
,
then
is
it
God
that
worketh
in
us
,
both
to
will
and
to
do
,
and
the
fulfilling
of
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
in
us
,
and
not
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
wrought
by
us
;
and
if
it
be
in
the
strength
and
power
of
Grace
,
and
not
in
our
own
strength
,
then
it
is
the
work
of
Christ
in
us
,
and
the
Work
of
God's
own
Righteousness
in
us
;
and
any
man
that
knows
the
least
of
God
in
Truth
,
will
witness
to
this
,
and
against
his
imagined
Doctrine
held
forth
by
P.
T.
I
might
demand
a
Proof
of
him
from
Scripture
,
where
it
is
said
or
signified
,
That
the
working
of
the
Spirit
,
all
in
us
,
and
for
us
,
and
the
working
of
the
power
of
Grace
in
the
Creature
,
is
reckoned
to
be
our
own
righteousness
,
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
;
and
my
words
stand
true
from
which
he
draws
his
false
Consequences
,
and
layes
down
his
dark
Assertions
,
and
my
own
words
I
do
own
,
which
are
,
Such
as
are
taught
by
Christ
,
and
guided
by
him
in
all
the
Wayes
of
Righteousness
,
are
justified
by
him
,
and
none
else
;
not
in
any
word
or
work
whatsoever
,
but
in
what
they
are
led
to
fulfil
by
him
:
and
in
these
words
there
is
neither
Contradiction
nor
unsoundness
,
though
he
hath
ignorantly
charged
them
with
both
;
but
the
words
shall
stand
for
a
Testimony
against
him
,
and
all
his
false
deductions
;
and
he
and
all
shall
know
,
That
God
justifies
the
Righteous
,
and
condemns
the
Wicked
,
and
that
it
is
the
New
Man
that
is
justified
,
and
not
the
Old
:
And
let
Righteous
Men
judge
what
can
be
in
such
a
mans
heart
,
who
can
draw
so
bad
Consequences
from
such
upright
words
.
But
further
,
he
goes
on
,
and
hath
transcribed
more
of
my
words
,
as
,
Christ
Iesus
the
Son
of
God
is
the
Light
and
Life
of
the
World
,
and
hath
enlightned
all
mankind
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
with
the
true
Light
,
&c.
now
saith
he
;
How
do
these
agree
with
man's
State
in
the
first
Adam
?
In
transgression
is
a
State
of
perfect
Enmity
,
and
Death
reigns
in
every
man
,
and
he
is
possessed
with
blindness
and
unbelief
,
&c.
I
say
,
these
do
very
well
agree
,
and
they
are
both
true
;
for
Death
reigns
in
every
man
,
and
he
is
in
Unbelief
and
Ignorance
,
and
in
a
State
of
perfect
Enmity
against
God
,
as
he
is
in
the
first
Adam
,
yet
Christ
hath
lightned
him
,
and
the
Light
of
Christ
,
shines
in
Darkness
in
him
,
and
the
Darkness
comprehends
it
not
,
and
he
is
enlightned
,
that
he
may
be
changed
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
from
Ignorance
to
Knowledge
;
and
though
he
walk
in
Darkness
,
and
is
in
Blindness
,
and
in
a
State
of
Enmity
,
it
is
because
he
does
not
walk
and
believe
in
the
Light
which
Christ
hath
lightned
him
withal
,
and
in
my
words
there
is
no
disagrement
,
nor
contradiction
,
the
Darkness
is
in
his
own
Mind
,
who
cannot
comprehend
the
Light
,
nor
the
words
that
proceed
from
it
.
Further
,
he
questions
upon
my
words
,
of
having
the
Witness
in
themselves
,
of
being
restored
again
.
First
,
whether
none
are
restored
again
,
but
such
as
have
the
Witness
in
themselves
?
I
answer
,
all
that
are
restored
again
,
and
do
believe
,
hath
the
Witness
in
themselves
;
and
none
do
believe
,
nor
are
restored
,
but
they
have
the
Witness
of
it
.
Secondly
he
queries
,
whether
all
are
restored
,
but
some
want
the
Witness
in
themselves
?
I
answer
,
All
are
not
restored
,
nor
do
believe
,
and
such
want
the
Witness
in
themselves
,
that
are
not
restored
to
God
;
but
them
that
are
restored
want
it
not
.
And
again
,
he
queries
,
whether
the
Light
which
is
in
all
,
is
sufficient
without
any
thing
of
further
Grace
superadded
,
to
bring
up
every
Man
to
believe
in
Christ
,
&
c
?
I
answer
,
The
Light
which
every
man
is
lightned
withal
by
Christ
,
is
sufficient
to
bring
up
every
man
to
believe
in
Christ
,
that
loves
the
Light
and
walks
in
it
,
and
unto
such
is
Grace
added
and
increased
daily
;
for
as
every
man
improves
the
Measure
of
the
Gift
of
God
,
so
it
is
increased
,
the
Light
is
increased
,
Grace
is
increased
,
Faith
is
increased
;
but
still
the
Light
of
Christ
in
it self
is
sufficient
.
Again
,
from
my
words
,
to
wit
,
The
Spirit
is
given
to
be
the
Guide
and
Rule
of
Life
to
the
Children
of
God
;
from
whence
he
queries
,
whether
the
Spirit
is
so
given
to
be
a
Guide
and
Rule
of
Life
to
the
Saints
,
that
they
have
no
more
need
to
attend
upon
the
Scriptures
?
I
answer
,
It
is
promised
,
that
the
Spirit
shall
lead
into
all
Truth
;
and
such
do
own
the
Scriptures
,
but
not
as
their
Teacher
;
for
the
Anointing
dwells
in
them
,
and
they
need
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
as
that
Anointing
teacheth
all
things
,
and
they
have
no
need
of
the
the
Scripture
to
teach
them
;
for
all
the
Children
of
God
,
are
taught
of
God
,
and
need
not
any
other
Teacher
,
nor
need
not
to
say
one
to
another
,
know
the
Lord
;
and
yet
all
such
do
own
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Testimony
of
that
which
they
believe
,
and
have
received
.
Again
,
from
my
words
,
to
wit
,
The
Light
of
Christ
in
every
one
shall
give
testimony
to
the
truth
of
what
I
speak
,
unto
which
I
do
commend
my self
;
from
this
he
queries
;
can
these
be
Witnesses
to
me
,
and
of
the
Truth
in
me
,
who
are
ignorant
of
the
Life
and
Power
of
the
Creator
,
&c.
who
are
following
the
counsel
of
their
own
hearts
,
which
are
evil
,
&
c
?
I
answer
,
Yes
,
the
Light
of
Christ
in
such
shall
judge
one
day
,
and
to
it
I
commend
my self
,
and
by
it
one
day
shall
be
approved
,
though
now
the
Wicked
hate
the
Light
,
yet
doth
it
witness
against
them
,
and
for
us
,
that
we
are
of
God
;
though
its
true
they
cannot
judge
between
Light
and
Darkness
,
between
Truth
and
Error
;
yet
the
Light
in
them
,
which
shines
in
their
darkness
,
does
judge
and
put
a
difference
;
and
when
the
Book
of
Conscience
is
opened
,
it
shall
justifie
us
,
and
condemn
our
Enemies
.
Again
,
he
queries
,
whether
I
make
the
Holy
Ghost
and
the
Eternal
Spirit
two
?
I
answer
no
,
they
are
one
,
neither
do
I
seem
to
make
them
two
,
it
is
want
of
knowledge
in
him
,
who
cannot
understand
,
but
raiseth
Objections
where
there
is
no
cause
.
Again
,
from
my
words
,
this
is
acceptable
and
well
pleasing
to
God
,
above
all
words
and
outward
conformity
&c.
from
this
he
questions
,
whether
the
doing
the
greater
things
of
the
Law
is
acceptable
,
where
the
less
are
neglected
?
I
answer
,
no
;
for
every
tittle
of
the
Law
,
less
and
greater
,
must
be
fulfilled
by
Christ
in
us
,
in
whom
we
are
accepted
:
and
thus
I
have
returned
a
few
words
to
the
consideration
of
people
,
and
particularly
to
the
people
of
Draton
,
and
the
Country
there
about
,
to
whom
I
direct
my
speech
,
thus
.
All
ye
people
,
who
are
scattered
,
as
Sheep
without
a
Shepherd
,
and
know
not
Christ
the
Everlasting
Shepherd
to
lead
you
,
and
to
rule
you
;
Cease
,
oh
cease
from
all
your
Teachers
without
you
,
who
are
dumb
Shepherds
,
which
do
not
gather
you
to
God
;
such
are
they
that
preach
for
Hire
,
and
divine
for
Money
,
and
that
take
Gifts
and
Rewards
for
preaching
,
who
through
Covetousness
,
by
feigned
words
,
do
make
Merchandize
of
Souls
:
Such
do
keep
you
alwayes
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
under
their
Teachings
;
your
Souls
are
starved
under
them
,
and
you
perish
for
want
of
true
Knowledge
;
and
Death
raigns
amongst
you
;
and
many
are
in
the
broad
way
,
that
leadeth
to
Destruction
;
but
few
in
the
strait
Way
,
that
leads
to
Life
:
and
Iniquity
and
Wickedness
abounds
amongst
you
;
and
like
Teachers
,
like
People
;
for
,
from
the
least
of
them
,
even
unto
the
greatest
of
them
,
every
one
is
given
to
Covetousness
,
Jer.
6.
13.
Great
Ignorance
hath
blinded
your
Minds
,
and
great
Darkness
is
over
your
Hearts
;
and
your
Teachers
do
deceive
you
,
and
they
cause
you
to
err
;
and
you
give
your
Money
for
that
which
is
not
Bread
,
and
your
Labour
for
that
which
doth
not
profit
;
even
as
the
people
of
Israel
did
,
so
do
you
,
and
in
their
Transgressions
do
you
walk
;
and
your
Teachers
are
in
the
steps
of
the
Pharisees
;
they
are
called
of
men
Master
,
as
the
Pharisees
were
;
they
stand
praying
in
the
Synagogues
and
Temples
,
as
the
Pharisees
did
;
and
they
have
the
chief
Seats
in
the
Assemblies
,
as
the
Pharisees
had
;
and
they
even
shut
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
men
,
as
the
Pharisees
did
,
and
will
not
enter
in
themselves
,
nor
suffer
them
that
would
.
Cease
from
all
your
outward
Priests
,
and
hearken
to
the
Voice
of
the
Lord
,
which
breaks
down
that
nature
which
is
contrary
to
God
,
and
raiseth
up
the
Seed
which
is
Heir
of
God's
Kingdom
;
and
turn
your
minds
to
the
Light
in
you
,
which
Christ
hath
lightened
you
withal
;
which
Light
shines
in
your
Consciences
,
and
convinces
you
of
your
evil
Deeds
;
it
reproves
you
for
Vain
words
,
and
Ungodly
speeches
;
it
will
let
you
see
what
your
hearts
go
after
,
and
what
your
love
goes
out
unto
;
and
if
you
love
that
,
it
will
lead
you
to
Christ
;
and
he
will
be
revealed
in
you
,
to
teach
you
,
and
to
give
you
the
Witness
of
Peace
and
Reconciliation
with
God
:
The
Light
is
your
Eye
,
by
which
you
may
see
God
;
it
will
lead
you
out
of
all
idolatrous
worships
and
works
,
and
from
your
false
worships
,
which
are
an
Abomination
to
the
Lord
;
and
you
must
be
converted
and
changed
into
a
new
Nature
,
and
you
must
put
off
the
Old
man
and
his
Works
,
before
you
can
worship
God
aright
;
for
he
is
worshipped
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
only
;
and
such
the
Lord
is
now
seeking
to
worship
him
.
Therefore
cease
from
your
Steeple-house-worship
,
which
is
in
the
Traditions
of
men
,
and
not
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
and
that
worship
must
be
confounded
;
for
its
Root
is
corrupted
,
and
its
Branches
will
wither
;
and
the
Breath
of
the
Lord
is
kindled
against
it
.
If
you
love
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
walk
in
it
,
there
is
your
Teacher
;
and
if
you
hate
it
,
there
is
your
Condemnation
.
The
next
day
after
the
Dispute
,
this
was
written
,
and
sent
in
a
little
time
after
to
Draton
,
and
up
and
down
that
ways
.
Richard
Goodgrom
,
FRiend
,
hath
not
thy
Ignorance
,
Folly
and
Wickedness
towards
me
now
appeared
?
And
is
it
not
manifest
in
the
sight
of
many
people
(
And
now
thou
mayest
cease
to
boast
,
and
also
to
backbite
for
the
time
to
come
;
and
no
more
secretly
to
surmise
behind
my
back
,
to
the
raising
of
unruly
spirits
against
me
,
so
much
as
in
thee
was
possible
:
and
hadst
thou
been
more
crafty
and
more
subtile
,
more
Mischief
thou
mightest
have
done
;
but
the
Innocent
is
delivered
,
and
thou
art
taken
in
the
Snare
thou
laidst
for
another
,
and
false
doctrine
is
prov'd
to
proceed
forth
of
thy
mouth
:
And
thou
and
thy
Company
may
be
ashamed
,
when
you
consider
the
managing
of
your
Work
against
me
,
who
many
times
appeared
immoderate
,
in
speaking
many
at
once
,
confusedly
;
and
also
were
unreasonable
,
in
not
being
satisfied
with
just
Answers
;
but
it
shews
your
Blindness
and
Unbelief
,
who
cannot
understand
the
Truths
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
but
contend
against
them
,
though
in
the
end
you
are
forced
to
confess
to
them
,
as
was
sufficiently
witnessed
that
day
of
the
Dispute
;
and
thou
in
particular
,
who
reproachedst
me
behind
my
back
,
in
divers
places
,
where
I
have
heard
of
it
by
my
Friends
,
whom
thou
judg'dst
had
not
been
so
;
yet
they
have
discover'd
the
naughtiness
of
thy
heart
,
both
in
the
Country
,
and
in
the
City
:
Thou
hast
given
forth
,
that
I
had
preached
false
doctrine
,
and
such
like
wicked
reproachful
back-biting
language
behind
my
back
,
not
like
a
man
faithful
to
God
and
thy
Neighbour
;
but
one
that
hath
surmised
Evil
against
the
Harmless
:
And
thou
mayest
remember
,
all
these
things
thou
objectest
against
,
who
wouldst
have
made
a
great
matter
of
them
against
me
,
yet
are
they
sufficiently
prov'd
to
the
Understanding
of
many
honest
People
.
And
if
thou
and
thy
Company
will
be
blind
,
it
is
because
you
harden
your
hearts
against
the
Truth
;
and
I
am
clear
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
:
and
all
shall
know
,
that
have
an
Ear
to
hear
,
That
what
I
profess
,
preach
and
practice
,
are
the
saving
Truths
of
Iesus
Christ
;
though
they
may
be
branded
to
be
Heresie
by
such
as
thee
,
who
may
call
Light
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
Light
,
and
put
Good
for
Evil
,
and
Evil
for
Good
:
And
at
a
convenient
Opportunity
I
may
take
in
hand
to
prove
,
That
thou
thy self
hast
held
forth
that
which
cannot
be
justified
by
the
Scripture
,
but
are
condemned
thereby
.
Many
things
fell
from
thee
in
my
hearing
,
which
I
may
object
against
,
and
prove
the
contrary
;
and
I
shall
not
go
behind
thy
back
,
as
thou
hast
done
,
to
slander
thee
;
but
I
shall
rest
contented
,
and
wait
the
opportunity
to
lay
open
thy
Nakedness
and
Weakness
in
the
sight
of
all
people
:
And
whatsoever
thou
judgest
,
The
Scriptures
(
the
Writings
)
and
the
things
written
of
,
are
two
things
;
the
one
is
the
Word
of
God
,
but
the
other
is
not
;
and
this
all
sober
men
confess
to
,
though
thou
dost
jangle
and
twist
about
it
with
thy
lame
Arguments
,
to
no
purpose
at
all
,
except
to
shew
thy
Weakness
and
Folly
.
And
also
,
No
man
is
justified
by
Christ's
Righteousness
,
until
he
receives
it
,
and
as
he
receives
it
;
and
this
thou
shalt
one
day
witness
:
For
,
though
Righteousness
be
in
him
,
sufficient
to
justifie
;
yet
by
it
art
thou
,
nor
any
man
justified
,
but
in
the
receiving
of
it
,
and
dwelling
in
it
;
and
this
shalt
thou
confess
to
be
truth
,
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
:
and
in
the
mean
time
let
me
bear
thy
false
censure
,
in
calling
this
Heresie
.
And
also
,
a
man
may
be
tempted
to
sin
,
and
there
may
be
evil
motions
to
him
;
yet
he
not
being
overcome
of
the
Temptation
,
not
consenting
to
the
motion
of
sin
,
it
is
no
sin
unto
him
,
neither
shall
sin
be
imputed
to
him
,
if
he
commits
it
not
;
but
he
that
commits
sin
,
though
he
profess
never
so
much
of
Justification
,
yet
for
his
sin
shall
he
be
condemned
;
and
this
shalt
thou
witness
in
the
day
of
Iudgment
.
Also
,
That
there
is
a
Perfection
attainable
in
this
life
,
even
to
be
perfect
,
and
without
sin
in
Christ
Iesus
;
and
this
I
affirm
to
be
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
,
and
that
wherein
the
Faith
of
God's
People
stands
:
and
though
thou
madest
a
twisting
and
a
wrangling
against
it
,
yet
it
is
too
strong
for
thee
;
and
in
thy
wisdom
,
and
thy
arguments
is
thy
folly
and
thy
weakness
seen
;
and
Truth
stands
over
thee
,
and
thou
canst
not
it
nor
me
reprehend
.
And
also
,
That
some
of
the
Scriptures
were
spoken
to
the
World
,
and
not
to
the
Saints
;
this
I
also
have
sufficiently
proved
,
and
thou
art
not
able
to
detect
it
;
and
all
thy
snarling
in
opposition
to
these
things
is
confounded
,
and
thy
Arguments
made
without
effect
;
and
all
,
whose
eyes
are
open
,
see
thee
to
be
of
too
short
a
measure
,
and
of
too
weak
a
capacity
to
understand
the
deep
things
of
God
,
which
are
hidden
from
thine
Eye
,
and
them
thou
savourest
not
in
that
wisdom
;
though
thou
hast
the
words
,
yet
thou
art
ignorant
of
the
Life
;
and
the
Life
is
in
dominion
over
thee
,
and
to
it
must
thou
submit
,
and
lay
down
thy
Crown
:
And
from
thee
am
I
hidden
in
that
Life
and
Truth
which
I
do
profess
.
And
though
I
be
as
a
Deceiver
,
yet
am
I
true
;
and
though
I
be
slandered
,
and
reproached
,
and
back-bited
by
thee
,
yet
it
is
for
Christ
Iesus's
sake
,
and
for
his
Truth
's
sake
,
and
not
as
an
Evil-doer
.
But
Friend
,
learn
more
Wisdom
,
then
to
judge
a
man
before
thou
hearest
him
,
or
to
condemn
the
matter
before
thou
hearest
the
Proof
of
it
;
for
,
by
these
things
thou
hast
not
gain'd
a
good
Report
,
but
God
condemns
thee
for
it
,
and
men
see
thy
shame
in
it
;
and
the
burden
of
it
one
day
shalt
thou
bear
,
even
thou
,
and
all
that
own
thee
in
these
things
.
And
now
thy
spirit
is
try'd
,
and
it
is
found
too
light
,
and
cannot
stand
in
Judgement
;
for
it
is
unsavoury
;
and
though
seperate
from
the
World
in
appearance
,
yet
is
thy
spirit
of
the
world
,
and
reacheth
not
the
knowledge
of
the
things
that
are
eternal
;
but
art
imagining
in
thy
mind
,
not
being
guided
by
that
Spirit
which
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
and
so
thy
knowledge
is
natural
,
and
cannot
contain
Spiritual
Things
:
Therefore
Friend
,
come
down
to
God's
Witness
in
thee
;
the
Light
which
shews
thee
sin
,
and
convinces
thee
of
evil
;
that
Light
is
thy
Teacher
,
if
thou
lovest
it
,
and
thy
Condemnation
,
if
thou
hatest
it
.
I
have
divers
particulars
against
thee
,
at
a
convenient
season
,
to
manifest
thy
Folly
and
Weakness
by
them
:
And
whatever
thou
judgest
me
,
I
am
a
Friend
to
thy
Soul
,

Richard
Goodgroom
held
forth
at
the
Dispute
at
Draton
,
the
18th
day
of
the
11th
Moneth
,
1657.
HE
said
,
The
Letter
was
the
Word
;
and
by
the
Letter
(
he
said
)
he
meant
the
thing
contained
in
the
Scriptures
:
And
when
I
said
,
I
had
the
Letter
in
my
hand
(
meaniug
my
Bible
)
but
not
the
thing
signified
;
he
said
,
But
I
had
the
Thing
signified
.
And
he
said
,
People
were
justified
by
Christ
,
excluding
the
New
Birth
,
and
the
Work
of
Sanctification
;
and
Christ
justified
Sinners
,
as
Sinners
(
that
is
)
while
Sinners
remaining
in
sin
.
At
Justice
Fortescue's
house
,
in
the
year
1656.
he
did
deny
,
That
any
was
converted
to
God
by
a
Light
within
:
And
then
I
asked
,
If
it
was
not
that
same
Light
that
converted
,
which
gave
the
Knowledge
of
God
?
and
they
confessed
,
Yea
:
and
yet
did
deny

That
the
Light
within
converted
to
God

I
shewed

that
Scripture

which
did
confound
the
Deceit
.
At
Uxbridge
one
time
he
said
,
Christ
needed
not
to
have
come
to
have
judged
the
World
;
for
there
was
sin
enough
in
the
World
to
judge
it
before
he
came
:
Then
I
asked
,
If
Sin
judged
the
World
?
and
he
answered
,
Yea
:
and
he
said
,
They
were
in
the
Covenant
of
God
spoken
of
,
Nehem.

A
TESTIMONY
Concerning
the
Estate
of
the
True
Church
,
What
she
hath
been
,
and
what
she
is
:
Being
given
forth
from
the
Motion
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
.
COncerning
the
true
State
of
the
Church
,
what
she
hath
been
,
and
what
she
is
at
this
day
;
and
concerning
her
Increase
,
and
Decrease
,
through
Ages
and
Generations
past
.
And
her
present
State
is
this
,
Returning
again
out
of
the
Wilderness
,
where
she
hath
long
been
fed
,
having
a
place
prepared
of
God
.
Now
the
Apostle
saw
her
a
Woman
,
cloathed
with
the
Sun
,
covered
with
the
Light
of
Heaven
,
and
with
the
Glory
of
God
;
having
the
Moon
under
her
Feet
,
the
Light
which
was
ordain'd
to
rule
the
Night
.
Thus
she
was
,
and
this
was
her
state
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
when
many
were
converted
out
of
Darkness
,
and
renewed
to
be
Members
of
this
Church
;
for
her
Glory
shone
through
the
World
,
and
she
flourished
through
Nations
;
and
this
was
her
state
in
the
Apostles
dayes
:
And
she
travelled
to
bring
forth
the
Man-Child
,
Christ
Jesus
,
which
is
the
Child
and
Husband
of
this
Woman
,
which
was
clothed
with
the
Brightness
of
the
Glory
of
God
,
the
elected
Spouse
of
Christ
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
and
his
Body
,
of
his
Flesh
,
and
of
his
Bones
;
having
Power
and
Dominion
,
and
treading
under
all
contrary
:
And
thus
was
it
with
her
in
Generations
past
,
whose
Seed
spring
forth
,
as
Branches
,
fruitful
and
glorious
.
But
in
process
of
time
it
came
to
pass
,
That
this
Woman
,
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
his
Body
,
the
Wife
and
Mother
of
this
Man-Child
,
she
was
bereaved
of
her
Beauty
;
and
her
Garments
were
taken
away
;
her
Seed
was
made
War
against
,
and
was
smitten
,
and
overcome
;
and
she
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
there
hath
sate
desolate
,
as
a
Widdow
,
lamenting
the
loss
of
her
Children
;
and
being
deprived
of
her
Husband
,
and
the
Man-Child
,
which
should
have
ruled
the
Nations
:
For
she
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
her
former
Beauty
hath
not
appeared
to
be
,
and
her
former
Glory
hath
seemed
to
be
gone
;
and
she
hath
been
driven
away
from
her
Head
,
from
her
Husband
,
and
from
her
Seed
.
Behold
all
people
the
Estate
of
such
a
Woman
,
and
read
this
Parable
who
can
,
A
Woman
most
Glorious
and
Fair
,
having
her
Husband
Ruler
of
the
whole
Earth
,
and
having
an
Heir
born
to
rule
over
Heaven
and
Earth
,
being
cover'd
with
the
Light
of
Heaven
,
and
of
the
Everlasting
Day
,
and
having
the
Light
of
the
Night
under
her
Feet
;
yet
hath
this
Woman
been
deprived
of
her
Glory
,
and
sate
desolate
in
the
Wilderness
,
a
mournful
place
,
separated
from
her
Husband
,
and
made
Childless
,
and
without
Seed
:
And
what
Eye
that
sees
this
aright
,
but
must
Mourn
?
and
what
Heart
that
truly
perceives
it
,
but
must
lament
?
A
Woman
so
Great
,
and
so
Glorious
,
and
so
Fruitful
,
as
to
bring
forth
the
Heir
of
Heaven
and
Earth
;
yet
has
she
been
left
as
a
Mourner
,
as
without
Husband
,
and
without
Issue
for
many
Generations
:
This
hath
been
her
Estate
and
Condition
for
Ages
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
which
Iohn
saw
(
in
a
Vision
)
would
shortly
come
to
pass
after
him
,
and
we
see
it
hath
been
come
to
pass
within
this
sixteen
hundred
years
:
And
this
hath
been
the
Estate
of
the
true
Church
for
many
Ages
,
A
Woman
childless
,
whose
Heir
hath
been
taken
from
her
,
and
whose
Seed
hath
been
made
war
against
,
and
killed
,
for
many
Generations
.
But
her
time
was
decreed
,
and
she
should
but
be
thus
for
so
many
dayes
;
and
now
are
the
dayes
expired
,
and
she
again
shall
receive
her
Heir
,
that
hath
been
caught
up
from
her
;
and
her
Seed
shall
spring
forth
;
and
her
Slain
shall
live
;
and
her
Beauty
shall
be
given
her
;
and
her
first
Glory
shall
be
encreased
;
and
she
shall
feed
no
longer
in
the
mourning
Wilderness
;
but
she
shall
be
fed
upon
the
Mountain
of
God's
House
,
which
is
to
be
established
upon
the
top
of
all
Mountains
;
and
her
Seed
shall
spring
forth
numberless
;
and
her
Heir
shall
rule
with
an
Iron
Rod
;
and
her
Marriage
Day
is
come
,
and
the
approach
thereof
nigh
;
and
Life
shall
be
revealed
:
Thus
she
hath
been
,
and
thus
she
shall
be
;
the
Lord
hath
said
it
.
Now
as
for
all
those
Multitudes
of
Sects
and
Peoples
,
that
have
professed
Religion
;
and
as
for
all
those
Churches
,
so
called
,
that
have
gone
under
that
name
,
which
have
professed
Christ
to
be
their
Head
,
and
made
a
shew
of
him
in
appearance
;
the
Papist's
Church
,
the
Protestant's
Church
,
and
all
the
Sects
that
have
risen
out
of
them
;
they
have
not
been
the
true
Spouse
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
;
but
Children
of
Fornication
,
and
not
of
the
Seed
of
that
Woman
that
was
once
clothed
with
the
Sun
;
and
they
are
come
up
,
and
their
Original
begun
,
while
this
true
Woman
,
this
Spouse
of
Christ
,
hath
been
Childless
:
None
of
these
are
clothed
with
the
Sun
;
nor
none
of
them
have
brought
forth
the
Heir
of
Salvation
.
Come
,
let
's
reason
with
you
;
Who
was
your
Mother
?
who
brought
you
forth
?
and
in
what
Womb
were
you
bred
,
you
that
have
appeared
in
the
world
,
and
for
many
Ages
,
for
the
true
Spouse
?
The
Mother
of
the
Heir
hath
been
childless
,
and
as
a
Widdow
banished
from
her
Husband
,
and
her
Heirs
separated
from
her
,
and
her
Seed
killed
,
and
made
War
against
;
She
hath
not
born
you
,
nor
brought
you
forth
;
Then
of
what
Womb
did
you
spring
,
all
ye
of
the
Papist's
and
Protestant's
Church
,
and
all
the
Sects
that
came
out
of
you
?
answer
me
this
:
None
of
you
have
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
;
for
you
have
appeared
in
the
World
:
None
of
you
have
been
as
a
Widdow
,
mourning
;
for
you
have
been
practizing
Ordinances
,
and
rejoycing
in
the
World
:
None
of
you
have
been
without
Issue
,
nor
your
Seed
made
War
against
;
for
you
have
been
fruitful
in
the
World
,
and
one
Sect
brought
forth
another
,
and
one
Church
brought
forth
another
;
therefore
none
of
you
have
been
that
Woman
which
Iohn
saw
:
For
never
none
of
you
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
of
you
,
were
ever
clothed
with
the
Sun
,
nor
had
the
Moon
under
your
Feet
,
nor
ruled
the
Nations
with
the
Rod
of
Iron
;
therefore
none
of
you
are
the
true
Spouse
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
;
he
is
not
Husband
to
any
of
you
,
nor
is
he
your
Child
nor
Heir
.
And
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
to
you
all
,
you
Churches
and
Sects
,
Your
beginning
and
springing
forth
was
from
another
Womb
,
while
this
Woman
lodged
in
the
Wilderness
,
and
while
she
was
childless
,
and
without
Seed
:
and
the
Mother
of
Harlots
brought
you
forth
,
the
great
Whore
,
whose
Superscription
is
,
Mystery
of
Babylon
;
and
her
Character
is
,
Mother
of
all
Abominations
:
For
,
while
this
other
Woman
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
which
Iohn
saw
was
fled
thither
,
this
woman
,
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
which
brought
you
forth
,
hath
been
fruitful
and
flourishing
,
and
hath
had
an
Husband
,
and
many
Children
:
For
Iohn
speaks
of
two
Women
;
of
a
Whore
,
and
of
a
Virgin
;
of
one
,
the
Blood
of
whose
Seed
was
drunk
;
and
the
other
drunk
the
Blood
;
yea
,
one
that
was
made
war
with
,
and
against
;
for
the
Saints
were
killed
,
and
their
Blood
drunk
;
and
that
other
killed
the
Saints
,
and
was
made
drunk
with
their
Blood
:
the
one
was
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
he
saw
,
of
which
I
have
spoken
,
〈…〉
other
making
all
Nations
drunk
with
her
Fornication
and
ruling
over
all
the
Nations
of
the
Earth
,
as
a
Queen
:
And
while
the
one
of
those
,
the
Virgin
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
hath
been
fled
into
the
〈◊〉
,
and
left
Childless
,
without
Seed
;
the
other
,
the
Whore
,
hath
●…
,
and
brought
forth
many
Children
,
taken
great
Pleasure
in
the
〈◊〉
and
committed
Fornication
with
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
:
And
these
thing●
〈◊〉
saw
were
to
come
to
pass
;
and
we
see
(
that
have
Iohn's
Spirit
)
is
come
to
pass
already
.
And
〈◊〉
all
ye
Sects
upon
the
Earth
,
and
Churches
so
called
,
that
have
been
in
the
World
for
many
Ages
;
Which
of
those
two
Women
are
you
of
?
〈◊〉
the
Seed
of
whether
of
them
are
ye
?
Who
of
these
two
was
it
that
brought
you
forth
?
answer
me
,
and
make
it
appear
.
But
I
have
said
already
,
The
Virgin
brought
you
not
forth
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
did
not
bear
you
,
nor
you
are
not
of
her
;
for
you
were
brought
forth
while
she
was
bani●hed
▪
and
deprived
of
her
Heir
,
and
without
her
Husband
;
and
you
are
of
the
Seed
of
that
Whore
,
the
product
of
her
Fornications
,
generated
by
the
seed
of
Adulrerers
:
And
though
you
have
been
warning
,
and
fighting
and
striving
one
against
another
,
yet
you
were
bred
in
one
womb
,
and
are
of
one
seed
.
And
thou●●●●me
of
you
,
in
one
appearance
of
the
Whore's
beauty
brought
forth
,
have
made
War
against
them
brought
forth
in
another
appearance
of
her
,
and
●●●ned
her
flesh
;
yet
have
ye
given
your
power
to
the
Beast
;
and
Iohn
saw
that
also
,
which
we
see
is
fulfilled
;
Some
that
should
hate
the
Whore
,
and
make
War
against
her
;
yet
sh●uld
they
also
give
their
power
to
the
Beast
:
This
have
we
seen
fulfilled
amongst
you
Sects
and
false
Churches
,
and
your
beginning
we
know
,
and
the
first
beginning
of
Whoredom
,
and
when
the
Whore
began
with
her
Fornications
since
which
time
all
Nations
have
drunk
her
Cup
;
and
her
scent
has
been
upon
Nations
,
and
Multitudes
,
and
Peoples
.
Her
first
Whoredom
Iohn
speaks
of
in
his
Epistle
,
and
her
beginning
;
They
went
out
from
the
Body
,
from
the
Spouse
;
and
from
the
Virgin
;
they
went
out
from
the
true
Church
,
being
false
Members
,
not
as
ever
being
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
nor
of
the
true
Church
;
but
such
as
had
been
amongst
the
Members
of
the
true
Church
,
and
were
once
convinced
,
which
had
got
the
Form
,
and
put
on
Sheep's
Clothing
upon
the
Wolvish-nature
:
and
here
was
the
beginning
of
her
Whoredom
,
She
went
from
the
Spouse
,
and
went
into
the
World
,
and
the
World
heard
her
,
and
received
her
,
and
they
drunk
of
her
Cup
,
and
committed
Fornication
with
her
;
and
she
played
the
Whore
in
the
Unbelieving
World
,
after
she
departed
from
the
Saints
;
she
went
out
from
them
,
and
they
denyed
her
,
and
it
was
manifest
she
was
not
of
them
:
and
this
was
the
beginning
of
Whoredoms
.
And
she
was
but
young
yet
in
her
Whoredoms
,
and
little
in
the
world
,
and
had
not
yet
deceived
many
;
but
in
process
of
time
it
came
to
pass
,
she
encreased
so
mightily
,
that
she
made
all
Nations
drunk
,
and
overcame
them
;
Kings
and
Rulers
,
Bond-men
and
Free-men
,
they
all
drunk
of
her
Cup
;
and
she
became
so
great
,
that
Nations
,
Kindreds
,
Multitudes
and
Peoples
were
her
Seat
,
her
place
of
Government
,
where
she
sate
Ruler
and
Queen
,
having
Dominion
over
all
;
and
all
were
bewitched
by
her
,
and
made
drunk
with
her
Cup
:
And
of
this
Woman
came
ye
,
all
ye
Sects
upon
Earth
;
and
you
are
the
Multitudes
,
Kindreds
and
Peoples
,
upon
which
her
Seat
hath
been
,
and
over
whom
she
has
had
her
Government
.
And
this
is
she
that
has
drunk
the
Blood
of
the
Saints
,
and
overcome
them
;
and
the
Heir
and
Seed
of
the
other
Woman
,
the
Virgin
,
hath
long
been
made
war
against
;
and
killed
and
slain
by
this
woman
and
her
seed
;
and
this
hath
been
the
State
of
the
Church
for
many
Ages
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
:
she
has
been
fled
,
and
her
Seed
made
war
against
,
and
killed
,
and
her
Heir
caught
up
to
God
;
and
the
Nations
,
which
should
have
been
ruled
by
her
Heir
the
Whore
has
set
upon
them
;
and
the
Peoples
and
the
Multitudes
,
which
he
should
have
govern'd
,
have
been
the
Seat
of
the
Harlot
,
the
Mother
of
all
Abominations
:
And
was
it
not
like
to
be
so
?
and
how
should
it
be
otherwise
,
when
the
Man-child
,
the
Woman's
Heir
,
has
been
caught
up
to
God
,
and
he
has
been
as
prevailed
against
,
and
the
Remnant
of
the
Woman's
Seed
made
war
against
,
and
killed
?
and
this
has
been
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
.
And
so
all
you
Churches
and
Sects
,
by
what
name
soever
you
are
known
in
the
World
,
you
are
the
seed
of
the
great
Whore
,
and
she
hath
brought
you
forth
while
the
other
Woman
has
lodged
in
the
Wilderness
,
and
remains
childless
:
If
any
man
hath
an
Ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
.
Now
it
may
be
objected
unto
me
,
and
thus
may
it
be
said
,
By
this
Accompt
the
Church
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
has
been
prevail'd
against
by
the
Whore
;
because
it
is
said
,
She
hath
killed
the
Saints
,
the
Members
of
Iesus
,
and
of
the
Church
:
This
seems
to
she●
,
as
if
the
Church
of
Christ
had
been
prevail'd
against
;
but
Christ
sayes
,
The
Gates
of
Hell
shall
not
prevail
against
them
,
but
she
should
remain
forever
,
[
and
the
Gates
of
Hell
shall
not
prevail
against
her
:
And
how
do
those
two
things
agree
?
it
seems
doubtful
to
us
,
may
some
say
.
Answ.
To
all
this
I
do
answer
,
The
true
Church
,
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
in
her self
was
never
prevail'd
against
,
so
as
not
to
be
in
beeing
,
or
that
she
was
not
;
but
in
her self
has
remain'd
in
beeing
,
and
not
prevail'd
against
,
so
as
not
to
have
a
Place
or
Beeing
;
and
Christ's
words
are
true
,
she
has
had
a
Place
and
Beeing
to
wit
,
in
the
desart
Wilderness
,
which
place
was
prepar'd
her
of
God
,
there
to
be
fed
for
such
a
time
:
So
she
has
a
Place
,
and
has
a
Beeing
▪
though
in
the
Wilderness
,
a
place
desolate
,
and
of
mourning
.
So
she
has
not
been
prevail'd
against
,
as
that
she
has
not
had
a
Beeing
;
but
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
the
Mother
of
the
Heir
,
that
which
is
perfectly
so
,
which
was
and
is
to
be
joyn'd
to
Christ
,
which
is
of
his
Flesh
,
and
Bones
taken
out
of
him
,
that
cannot
be
prevail'd
against
,
never
was
,
nor
never
shall
be
;
for
the
Devil
nor
Satan
have
nothing
in
him
,
of
whose
flesh
and
Bones
she
is
,
which
is
taken
out
of
him
;
and
it
is
as
possible
for
to
prevail
against
him
,
as
to
prevail
against
her
;
for
she
is
of
him
,
as
Eve
was
of
Ad●●
;
if
any
have
an
Ear
to
hear
,
they
may
hear
:
But
her
Off-spring
has
been
overcome
,
her
Seed
made
War
against
,
and
her
Heir
taken
away
,
and
caught
up
from
her
;
so
she
not
prevail'd
against
,
nor
overcome
,
though
banished
into
the
Wilderness
,
fled
thither
,
and
there
has
she
fed
,
and
had
a
place
,
and
has
been
left
Childless
,
as
I
have
said
:
So
the
Mother
,
and
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
hath
had
a
Beeing
,
and
in
her self
never
prevail'd
against
,
nor
overcome
;
and
Christ's
words
are
true
:
Yet
has
her
Seed
been
kill'd
,
&
made
War
against
,
and
overcome
(
as
Iohn
said
)
and
both
these
are
true
,
and
this
is
my
Answer
;
and
if
any
have
an
Ear
to
hear
;
they
may
hear
;
though
a
Parable
to
the
World
,
yet
plain
to
the
Seed
,
which
now
God
hath
raised
,
and
is
raising
;
for
the
Woman
again
is
returning
,
and
her
Seed
again
is
springing
,
and
she
is
becoming
as
fruitful
as
ever
,
and
her
Glory
shall
be
as
great
;
the
Light
of
Heaven
shall
cloth
her
,
and
the
light
of
the
Night
shall
be
under
her
Feet
as
perfectly
,
when
she
is
restored
,
as
it
was
before
the
Apostacy
,
though
People
cannot
believe
this
in
the
Apostacy
.
No
Revelation
,
nor
immediate
Teaching
,
nor
Miracles
now
to
be
expected
,
cry
the
Professors
,
and
these
false
Sects
and
Churches
;
It
was
extraordinary
Times
,
and
extraordinary
Manifestations
were
amongst
the
Apostles
and
Churches
of
old
(
say
they
)
but
the
same
now
are
not
to
be
expected
,
nor
never
to
be
looked
for
;
but
thus
they
are
in
▪
Blindness
,
and
Ignorance
,
and
Unbelief
.
But
we
believe
,
the
Glory
of
this
Woman
,
that
hath
been
long
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
hath
been
long
without
Issue
,
while
she
hathbeen
fled
,
shall
have
the
same
Fruit
and
Issue
,
and
the
same
Clothing
that
she
had
before
she
fled
:
When
the
Whore
and
her
seed
is
removed
from
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
the
Glory
of
the
Lamb's
Wife
shall
be
as
great
,
her
Beauty
as
fair
,
her
Fruit
as
plentious
as
before
the
Whore
was
;
and
they
that
believe
it
not
,
believe
not
the
Scripture
;
for
that
testifies
of
the
Glory
of
the
Church
to
be
the
greatest
in
the
last
days
,
as
we
are
sure
,
and
certainly
know
it
shall
come
to
pass
,
when
the
Waters
are
dried
up
,
which
have
been
the
Seat
of
the
great
Whore
.
Now
though
all
those
Churches
and
Sects
of
People
,
are
said
to
be
,
and
known
to
be
the
Seed
of
the
Whore
,
and
not
of
the
Virgin
,
as
I
have
declared
;
and
though
Nation
,
and
Peoples
,
and
Multitudes
have
been
all
running
to
Fornication
,
and
been
deceiv'd
,
and
made
drunk
;
yet
this
I
have
to
say
,
In
all
sorts
of
People
,
and
amongst
all
those
Sects
,
amongst
Papists
and
Protestants
,
and
all
Sects
risen
out
of
them
,
in
thousands
of
people
,
notwithstanding
the
Darkness
,
and
all
the
Apostacy
that
hath
rul'd
in
the
general
;
yet
in
some
of
all
Sorts
and
Sects
there
hath
been
a
Sincerity
,
and
Simplicity
,
and
a
Desire
,
and
Zeal
for
God
,
and
of
God
in
them
,
and
amongst
them
;
yet
the
Sincerity
,
Simplicity
,
and
Desire
,
which
hath
stirr'd
in
some
of
all
Sects
,
it
hath
no
sooner
appear'd
,
but
it
hath
been
smitten
,
and
betray'd
by
the
wicked
without
,
and
so
by
the
error
of
Judgment
within
:
For
even
amongst
the
worst
of
Sects
,
we
know
there
are
some
in
whom
there
is
Simplicity
,
and
Sincerity
,
and
Zeal
;
and
yet
err
in
Judgment
;
for
this
is
possible
,
and
we
know
it
is
so
with
Thousands
,
and
ten
Thousands
at
this
day
.
There
may
be
a
Simplicity
,
and
Zeal
,
and
Sincerity
of
Heart
,
and
yet
err
in
Judgment
,
and
the
Judgment
not
truly
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
but
a
false
spirit
,
and
a
false
thing
,
even
the
spirit
of
Whoredom
it self
ruling
the
Judgment
,
and
be
chief
there
;
and
this
destroys
,
and
murders
,
and
betrays
the
Zeal
and
Simplicity
:
and
this
is
,
and
hath
been
ever
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
great
error
in
Judgment
,
and
the
Judgment
of
all
those
Sects
have
been
mis-guided
and
misled
,
and
a
false
thing
,
and
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
has
guided
the
Judgment
;
and
thereby
the
true
Sincerity
,
Zeal
and
Simplicity
hath
been
enslav'd
,
and
held
under
,
by
reason
of
the
erring
in
Judgment
:
And
the
State
of
such
is
truly
to
be
lamented
,
where
Simplicity
is
devour'd
,
and
Sincerity
betray'd
,
and
held
captive
by
the
Whorish
spirit
,
that
sits
Ruler
in
Judgment
.
I
do
not
speak
of
all
people
of
all
Sects
,
that
they
have
Zeal
and
Simplicity
;
but
of
some
people
in
all
Sects
,
and
through
all
these
false
Churches
;
and
so
the
spirit
which
hath
guided
the
Judgment
,
that
has
abased
the
Zeal
,
and
abused
the
Sincerity
,
and
betray'd
it
;
so
people
have
been
a
running
,
running
after
the
Form
,
and
blind
in
Judgment
,
and
lost
Sincerity
,
and
Simplicity
that
has
been
betray'd
in
them
,
though
sometime
appearing
and
stirring
;
and
so
the
wrong
part
in
people
has
fed
upon
the
Form
and
Appearance
,
and
the
Seed
starved
,
and
the
Sincerity
eaten
out
;
and
so
one
Sect
hath
made
this
the
Rule
of
their
Judgment
,
and
another
Sect
another
thing
the
Rule
of
their
Judgment
;
one
cries
,
Tradition
;
another
,
Scriptures
;
another
cries
,
The
Practice
of
Saints
before
us
;
and
none
of
all
have
been
guided
in
Judgment
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
:
&
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
not
the
only
rule
of
Judgment
,
guiding
the
Judgment
in
all
things
,
that
people
,
&
that
man
are
in
Error
,
and
the
Sincerity
in
them
has
not
its
free
course
,
but
bound
under
,
with
a
spirit
which
is
Bondage
,
&
leads
into
Bondage
:
And
when
people
come
to
be
turn'd
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
them
,
and
receive
a
measure
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
to
guide
the
Judgment
,
then
the
Sincerity
,
&
Simplicity
,
&
Zeal
will
grow
,
and
thrive
,
and
be
encreased
;
but
till
then
the
Good
is
eaten
out
,
that
lies
under
,
and
is
oppressed
,
and
ever
,
and
alwayes
the
Desire
quenched
,
the
Sincerity
lost
,
the
Simplicity
betray'd
by
the
spirit
of
Whoredom
,
which
rules
the
Judgment
;
and
these
things
are
manifest
in
our
Age.
Therefore
all
people
come
out
of
your
Sects
and
false
Churches
;
for
the
Woman
is
return'd
,
and
returning
out
of
the
Wilderness
;
and
the
Seed
shall
spring
forth
,
as
in
the
dayes
of
old
.
E.
B.
THE
True
State
OF
CHRISTIANITY
,
Truly
Discribed
,
and
also
Discovered
unto
all
PEOPLE
:
What
it
was
in
its
Beginning
,
and
Purity
;
and
what
it
now
is
in
its
Apostacy
,
and
Degeneration
.
And
here
,
by
true
Testimony
,
is
declar'd
to
the
whole
World
,
how
,
and
wherein
,
in
divers
particulars
,
the
Christians
through
all
the
World
(
so
called
)
now
are
fallen
,
and
gone
backward
,
and
revolted
from
what
the
true
Christians
once
were
.
And
this
sheweth
unto
all
the
World
,
the
woful
State
and
Condition
,
wherein
them
that
are
called
Christians
now
stand
;
being
departed
and
revolted
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
from
his
Teachings
.
And
this
is
given
forth
,
that
all
People
may
understand
concerning
the
Times
,
and
the
changing
of
Times
;
and
concerning
what
hath
been
,
what
now
is
,
and
what
suddenly
cometh
to
pass
in
the
Earth
.
BEhold
and
hearken
,
give
ear
and
listen
diligently
all
ye
People
through
the
whole
World
,
that
are
called
Christians
:
All
you
,
I
say
,
that
go
under
that
name
,
and
that
bear
that
name
,
and
are
named
Christians
,
from
one
end
of
the
Earth
to
the
other
,
through
all
Nations
and
Countries
,
whither
you
are
scater'd
,
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
.
Behold
and
take
notice
what
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
unto
you
,
and
what
the
Testimony
of
Christ
is
towards
you
all
;
for
the
Line
of
true
Judgment
is
laid
upon
you
;
and
the
Measuring-Rod
is
put
forth
to
reach
over
you
;
and
the
Servant
of
the
Lord
hath
viewed
your
State
and
Condition
,
and
what
you
were
in
your
beginning
and
increase
,
and
what
you
now
are
in
your
Decrease
and
woful
Apostacy
,
into
which
you
are
fallen
,
and
degenerated
from
the
Life
of
Christianity
.
Oh!
let
your
Ears
be
open
to
Instruction
,
and
regard
well
what
I
through
the
Lord
do
say
unto
you
,
even
all
you
,
and
every
particular
of
you
under
Heaven
,
that
make
a
Profession
of
Christ
in
words
,
and
are
known
through
the
World
by
that
name
of
Christians
;
hearken
,
I
say
,
and
consider
,
and
remember
from
whence
,
and
into
what
you
are
fallen
,
and
return
and
repent
:
The
Lord
hath
with
you
a
Controversie
,
and
he
will
plead
with
you
because
of
your
Back-slidings
and
Revoltings
;
for
you
are
gone
away
backward
,
and
you
are
turned
aside
from
the
Life
of
Christ
,
and
from
his
Spirit
;
and
are
now
without
that
which
was
the
Reason
and
true
Ground
of
your
Name
,
Christian
;
and
you
have
lost
the
true
▪
Character
of
the
Name
,
and
now
have
only
the
Name
,
without
the
Life
and
Power
thereof
;
and
are
dead
to
Christ
and
his
Life
;
and
have
a
Name
to
live
,
but
are
dead
;
and
having
lost
that
which
gave
you
a
true
title
to
the
name
of
Christian
,
you
deserve
not
that
Name
,
nor
to
be
called
by
the
Name
of
Christ
,
because
you
are
departed
from
his
Spirit
:
And
this
is
to
be
declared
to
you
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
that
you
may
take
a
view
of
your
own
estate
,
to
the
end
,
that
you
may
be
awakened
,
to
return
from
whence
you
are
degenerated
.
The
Lord
had
a
People
in
all
Generations
,
unto
whom
he
was
a
God
;
and
they
feared
him
,
and
served
him
,
and
worshipped
him
;
and
his
Name
was
precious
amongst
them
,
who
were
his
chosen
People
,
and
with
whom
he
dwelt
;
and
his
Power
and
Presence
was
amongst
his
People
,
that
did
walk
with
him
,
under
what
Name
soever
they
went
in
the
World
:
But
the
first
time
that
ever
the
People
of
the
Lord
were
called
Christians
,
or
known
by
that
Name
,
from
other
people
,
it
was
at
Antioch
,
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles
,
who
were
Followers
of
Christ
,
as
you
may
read
,
Acts
11.
26.
And
the
Disciples
were
first
called
Christians
in
Antioch
:
and
before
that
time
the
People
of
the
Lord
were
never
called
Christians
;
and
this
Name
was
given
to
them
by
the
Heathen
,
because
they
were
for
Christ
,
and
of
his
part
,
and
did
follow
him
,
and
preach
him
to
be
follow'd
,
and
in
all
things
exalted
his
Name
,
and
did
and
suffer'd
all
things
for
the
Name
▪
of
Christ
,
therefore
were
they
named
Christians
;
and
that
Name
was
true
unto
them
;
for
they
had
upon
them
the
express
Image
and
Character
of
Christ
,
and
follow'd
his
Spirit
,
and
preached
him
unto
all
people
for
Life
and
Salvation
,
and
that
all
people
might
come
to
Christ
,
and
become
Followers
of
him
;
and
therefore
they
were
rightly
named
Christians
,
to
be
known
by
that
Name
from
all
other
people
upon
Earth
,
who
were
not
Followers
of
Christ
;
who
could
not
rightly
be
call'd
Christians
,
because
they
were
not
of
his
part
;
and
from
thence
forth
unto
this
day
,
all
people
whatsoever
,
that
believed
in
Christ
,
and
became
Followers
of
him
,
and
that
professed
him
,
were
called
Christians
from
that
Original
and
Foundation
of
the
Name
,
which
then
was
laid
.
Also
you
may
read
,
Acts
26.
28.
And
Agrippa
said
unto
Paul
,
Almost
thou
pers●adest
me
to
be
a
Christian
:
Here
again
Paul
followed
Christ
,
and
preached
him
,
and
was
on
his
part
altogether
,
and
highly
extolled
his
Name
;
therefore
King
Agrippa
called
him
Christian
,
and
was
almost
perswaded
to
be
a
Christian
;
to
wit
,
A
Man
for
Christ
,
to
take
part
with
him
,
and
to
be
on
his
side
:
and
the
Name
,
interpreted
,
this
is
the
signification
;
and
all
that
have
this
Character
do
truly
deserve
the
Name
of
Christians
;
for
they
are
anointed
People
;
and
this
was
the
beginning
of
the
Christian
Name
.
And
before
that
time
,
as
I
have
said
,
were
the
People
of
God
never
called
Christians
in
any
Generation
;
and
ever
since
that
time
,
through
all
Ages
,
all
that
professed
Christ
,
and
believ'd
in
him
,
throughout
the
whole
World
,
were
called
by
the
Name
of
Christians
;
and
the
Name
and
Religion
of
Christians
were
honourable
,
and
greatly
beloved
of
God
;
for
that
People
was
the
peculiar
People
,
a
chosen
Generation
,
as
you
may
read
,
1
Pet.

and
whilst
the
Life
of
Christ
was
manifest
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Christ
did
lead
them
and
teach
them
in
all
their
Wayes
and
Practices
of
Religion
:
And
whilst
,
I
say
,
they
retained
the
Power
and
Life
of
that
of
which
they
had
the
Name
,
the
Power
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
was
amongst
them
;
and
above
all
the
people
of
the
Earth
were
they
blessed
;
and
more
then
all
people
upon
the
Earth
besides
had
they
the
Countenance
of
God
shining
amongst
them
,
and
upon
them
,
and
pure
unity
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
,
had
they
in
his
●ife
,
whereby
they
were
made
a
terror
and
a
fear
to
all
Nations
,
while
they
stood
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
were
Christians
in
life
,
and
power
,
and
practice
,
as
well
as
in
name
;
and
the
Lord
greatly
encreased
them
in
number
;
for
,
as
you
may
read
through
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
,
through
all
the
World
many
believed
in
Christ
,
and
became
Followers
of
him
,
and
received
the
Knowledge
of
him
,
and
became
anointed
People
,
and
received
the
name
of
Christians
;
sometimes
Thousands
at
one
Sermon
were
converted
to
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
and
became
subject
to
his
Spirit
,
and
had
his
Mark
upon
them
,
and
all
such
were
called
Christians
;
and
the
Apostles
went
through
many
Nations
,
and
of
the
Iews
,
and
Greeks
,
and
of
the
Heathen
,
and
all
other
people
,
some
of
each
were
converted
from
that
way
in
which
they
had
walked
,
to
follow
Christ
,
and
they
became
Christians
;
and
here
was
the
encrease
of
Christianity
;
and
through
many
parts
of
the
World
they
planted
Churches
and
Assemblies
of
Christians
:
And
,
as
I
said
,
while
they
stood
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
the
Name
and
Religion
was
of
him
greatly
beloved
.
But
now
the
Christians
are
Apostatized
and
degenerated
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
from
that
which
gave
them
the
true
Name
of
Christians
;
and
the
name
is
retained
only
,
and
the
Life
and
Power
lost
;
and
now
many
have
a
name
to
live
,
but
are
dead
;
and
that
is
departed
from
,
which
gave
the
true
interest
and
title
in
the
Name
.
Hear
this
all
ye
Christians
,
That
Life
,
Light
and
Power
of
God
,
which
was
amongst
the
Apostles
and
Christians
once
,
you
are
departed
from
,
and
have
lost
the
sence
and
knowledge
of
,
and
have
the
Name
and
not
the
thing
,
which
was
the
Reason
and
Ground
of
the
Name
.
Wherefore
all
ye
through
the
World
,
that
are
called
Christians
,
look
back
to
your
Original
,
look
unto
the
Apostles
,
who
were
the
first
that
were
called
Christians
,
from
whom
you
had
the
Name
,
and
see
how
you
are
degenerated
,
and
fallen
from
the
Life
that
they
were
in
,
and
though
you
retain
the
Name
of
Christians
,
yet
you
are
not
Followers
of
Christ
,
nor
ta●ght
by
his
Spirit
:
and
none
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
were
truly
counted
or
called
Christians
,
but
who
follow'd
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
were
first
converted
to
him
,
and
changed
by
his
Power
from
Sin
to
Righteousness
,
and
from
Death
to
Life
;
and
such
as
were
so
,
were
truly
called
Christians
.
But
now
all
such
as
are
called
by
that
Name
,
and
are
not
followers
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
nor
converted
to
him
,
neither
changed
by
his
Power
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
from
Sin
to
Righteousness
,
such
are
in
the
Degeneration
,
from
the
Life
of
Christianity
,
and
have
a
Name
without
the
Life
and
Power
thereof
.
And
now
it
remains
to
be
shewed
,
how
,
and
when
the
Degeneration
came
upon
the
Christians
;
and
wherein
they
are
apostatized
and
degenerated
from
that
●ife
,
and
Spirit
,
and
Practice
,
which
was
amongst
the
Apostles
,
that
were
first
called
Christians
.
The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
spoke
through
the
Apostles
,
and
foretold
of
a
falling
away
from
the
Truth
,
and
from
the
true
Christian-life
;
and
Paul
said
,
Acts
20.
29
,
30.
said
he
,
Grievous
Wolves
shall
arise
,
and
enter
in
,
who
would
not
spare
the
Flock
;
and
from
among
themselves
should
men
arise
,
speaking
perverse
things
,
to
draw
Disciples
after
them
:
And
he
also
said
,
1
Tim.
4.
1.
That
some
should
depart
from
the
Faith
,
and
give
heed
to
seducing
spirits
:
And
he
also
said
,
That
it
should
come
to
pass
,
the
people
should
become
wicked
,
departing
from
the
Truth
,
having
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
denying
the
Power
thereof
;
and
such
were
led
away
with
divers
Lusts
,
and
men
of
corrupt
Minds
,
and
reprobate
concerning
the
Faith
.
And
the
Apostle
Peter
also
foretold
,
That
there
should
false
Teachers
arise
among
the
Christians
,
who
should
bring
in
damnable
Heresies
,
and
many
Christians
should
follow
their
pernicious
wayes
,
by
reason
of
which
the
Way
of
Truth
should
be
evil-spoken
of
.
And
the
Apostle
Iohn
saw
,
That
many
false
Prophets
were
gone
out
then
,
and
many
Antichrists
were
then
come
in
among
the
Christians
.
Now
all
these
do
shew
and
declare
of
a
Degeneration
,
and
falling
away
of
Christians
from
the
Life
of
Christianity
;
and
we
see
these
Prophesies
fulfilled
,
and
Flocks
of
Christians
are
devoured
from
the
Life
of
Christ
,
by
devouring
Wolves
which
have
entred
among
them
,
who
have
led
them
into
pernicious
ways
,
and
into
damnable
Heresies
,
whereby
the
Name
of
Christianity
is
become
reproachful
amongst
the
Heathens
,
that
never
were
called
Christians
;
and
many
Thousands
are
departed
from
the
true
Faith
,
from
that
Faith
which
did
purifie
the
hearts
of
the
Saints
;
and
many
Christians
have
given
heed
to
seducing
spirits
;
and
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
deny
the
Power
thereof
;
and
they
are
led
of
divers
Lusts
;
and
are
become
men
of
corrupt
minds
;
and
are
reprobate
,
and
without
the
true
Faith
.
And
the
Apostles
prophesied
of
the
Degeneration
,
which
we
see
fulfilled
in
these
our
dayes
;
and
even
while
some
of
the
Apostles
were
yet
living
,
they
saw
the
Christians
Apostatizing
,
and
falling
away
;
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
spoke
through
Iohn
,
Rev.
2.
3.
to
the
Christian-Churches
in
Asia
,
who
were
already
departing
from
the
Christian-Life
;
some
of
them
were
departed
already
from
their
first
Work
and
some
of
them
were
given
to
the
doctrine
of
Balaam
,
and
to
the
doctrine
of
the
Nicolaitans
,
which
thing
the
Lord
did
hate
;
and
others
of
them
were
seduced
by
Iezabel
,
and
taught
to
commit
Fornication
,
and
to
eat
things
sacrificed
to
Idols
;
and
others
of
them
had
a
name
to
live
,
but
were
dead
;
and
others
of
them
were
neither
hot
nor
cold
;
and
the
Lord
said
,
he
would
spue
them
out
of
his
Mouth
.
Now
here
the
Christians
were
falling
away
you
may
see
,
and
as
before
it
had
encreased
,
so
now
the
true
Christian
Life
began
to
decrease
,
and
the
glory
thereof
became
darkned
through
all
Asia
:
And
also
Rev
,
13.
11.
1.
16.
Iohn
saw
one
Beast
arise
out
of
the
Sea
,
and
another
out
of
the
Earth
,
which
set
up
a
Kingdom
over
the
whole
World
,
and
caused
all
people
upon
Earth
to
worship
the
Beast
;
and
the
Beast
hath
been
great
in
his
power
,
and
he
hath
ruled
over
the
World
in
great
dominion
;
and
all
that
would
not
worship
him
,
he
hath
had
power
to
kill
,
and
hath
killed
them
;
so
that
the
true
Christian
Life
and
Religion
,
as
the
Apostles
received
it
,
and
practised
it
,
hath
been
extinguished
for
many
Generations
;
and
People
have
had
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
denied
the
Power
,
and
lived
under
the
Name
and
Profession
of
Christianity
,
but
have
been
without
the
Life
;
and
this
is
to
be
considered
of
,
and
diligently
searched
into
,
by
all
you
that
go
under
the
Name
of
Christians
through
all
the
World
;
for
unto
you
only
I
direct
my
words
.
And
now
it
remains
to
be
shewed
what
the
state
of
Christians
is
at
this
day
,
and
wherein
particularly
they
are
apostatized
and
degenerated
from
the
true
Life
and
Practice
of
the
Apostles
,
who
were
the
first
Christians
;
for
wherein
the
Christians
now
are
contrary
,
and
not
agreeable
to
the
Apostles
,
in
Faith
,
in
Practice
,
in
Worship
,
in
Ministry
,
and
in
the
entrance
into
Christianity
,
and
in
any
other
thing
whatsoever
.
I
say
,
wherein
they
are
contrary
,
and
not
agreeable
to
the
true
Christians
of
old
,
to
wit
,
the
Apostles
,
therein
are
they
degenerated
,
and
fallen
from
the
true
Life
of
Christianity
;
and
this
shall
be
the
Rule
of
Judgment
to
try
all
you
that
are
called
Christians
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
:
wherefore
awake
,
and
come
forth
to
Judgment
,
for
the
measuring
Rod
is
laid
upon
you
all
,
whereby
you
shall
be
truly
measured
and
compared
with
them
that
where
the
first
Christians
upon
Earth
;
and
the
Heathens
shall
see
your
nakedness
,
and
your
shame
,
and
his
;
at
you
,
when
they
behold
how
wofully
you
are
fallen
from
that
Life
,
in
the
Purity
thereof
,
of
which
you
do
profess
the
words
;
and
shall
not
they
rise
up
in
Judgment
against
you
;
who
never
had
the
name
of
Christians
,
who
are
not
faln
nor
degressed
from
what
they
have
profest
in
any
measure
,
comparable
to
you
,
who
now
retain
only
the
name
of
Christians
,
and
are
departed
from
the
Life
of
Christ
.
First
,
concerning
the
entrance
into
Christianity
,
and
the
way
and
means
whereby
people
are
now
made
Christians
,
and
receives
that
name
;
In
this
will
your
fall
and
degeneration
appear
.
For
the
Apostles
and
first
Christians
upon
Earth
,
before
they
were
Christians
,
or
were
called
so
,
they
were
first
converted
,
and
changed
and
translated
from
Death
to
Life
,
as
you
may
read
,
1
Iohn
3.
14.
and
Col.
1.
13.
and
they
first
received
Christ
,
and
became
followers
of
him
,
and
received
his
Spirit
to
teach
them
,
and
to
guide
them
:
For
the
Apostle
said
,
If
any
man
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
he
is
none
of
his
,
Rom.
8.
9.
to
wit
,
no
Christians
;
and
the
Apostle
said
,
as
many
as
were
the
Sons
of
God
,
were
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
also
it
was
promised
by
Christ
to
all
that
were
his
,
the
Comforter
should
come
,
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
he
should
lead
them
into
all
Truth
;
which
promise
,
all
that
were
Christians
did
receive
,
and
they
were
led
into
all
Truth
by
the
teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
dwelt
in
them
;
for
all
that
were
Sons
,
God
sent
the
Spirit
of
his
Son
into
their
hearts
,
which
Spirit
sanctified
them
through
the
obedience
thereof
.
Now
these
were
Christians
,
and
were
truly
so
called
;
For
they
had
the
mark
of
Christ
and
his
Image
upon
them
,
and
he
dwelt
in
their
hearts
by
Faith
,
Ephes.
3.
17.
These
I
say
were
truly
called
Christians
;
and
none
but
such
at
that
day
of
their
Original
were
called
Christians
,
or
had
Fellowship
in
the
Christian
life
:
nor
were
any
looked
upon
by
the
Apostles
to
be
Christians
but
by
them
that
were
such
.
But
look
back
all
ye
Christians
upon
Earth
,
and
see
your
fall
,
and
wherein
you
are
contrary
,
and
not
agreeable
to
the
true
Christians
in
their
first
and
pure
Estate
.
I
say
,
look
to
your
Original
,
and
see
how
you
are
Apostatized
from
them
in
your
entrance
into
your
profession
of
Christianity
;
for
though
you
have
the
name
of
Christians
,
yet
you
were
not
made
so
,
nor
received
that
name
by
being
first
converted
and
changed
,
and
translated
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
from
being
the
Children
of
disobedience
,
to
be
the
Children
of
God
,
through
the
work
and
operation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
you
;
for
hereof
are
Thousands
and
Ten
Thousands
of
Christians
now
wholly
ignorant
,
and
altogether
without
the
feeling
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
to
change
them
,
to
convert
them
,
and
to
translate
them
,
but
are
accounted
Christians
by
tradition
,
or
natural
education
,
and
because
of
being
sprinkled
with
a
little
water
upon
the
face
,
being
Infants
,
or
by
a
bare
confession
and
profession
of
the
Name
of
Christ
in
words
,
and
professing
of
a
bare
belief
in
the
Scriptures
,
by
this
way
and
means
were
you
made
(
and
received
you
the
name
of
)
Christians
without
any
real
change
from
darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Satan
to
God
,
as
I
have
said
.
Now
here
appears
to
be
a
woful
degeneration
in
the
very
entrance
of
the
thing
,
and
this
is
not
agreeable
,
but
rather
contrary
unto
that
way
of
Christianity
,
wherein
the
Christians
in
their
beginning
were
so
made
and
called
;
for
then
none
were
Christians
,
or
so
called
,
but
who
through
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
were
first
converted
,
changed
,
and
renewed
as
I
have
said
,
but
now
in
these
Nations
all
are
called
Christians
that
are
spinkled
upon
their
faces
with
Water
,
by
a
Teacher
,
when
they
are
Infants
,
or
that
do
but
profess
Christ
in
words
,
though
they
are
not
guided
particularly
by
his
Spirit
;
neither
have
received
Christ
to
dwell
in
them
,
and
to
be
King
over
them
:
and
here
again
appears
a
wofull
Apostacy
;
for
none
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
in
the
World
were
made
Christians
,
or
so
called
,
but
who
received
Christ
,
and
in
whom
he
dwelt
,
and
was
in
them
;
as
you
may
read
,
2
Corinth.

and
who
were
Followers
of
him
,
and
had
his
Spirit
in
them
,
the
Comforter
to
teach
them
,
and
to
lead
them
into
all
Truth
;
but
now
thousands
upon
thousands
,
who
have
the
name
of
Christians
,
have
not
received
Christ
to
dwell
in
them
,
nor
to
rule
them
,
neither
is
he
manifest
in
them
by
his
Spirit
to
teach
them
,
and
they
are
not
led
into
all
truth
;
but
live
in
deceit
and
unrighteousness
,
and
are
not
Followers
of
Christ
,
but
follows
their
own
hearts
desir●
,
and
their
own
hearts
Lusts
,
and
are
condemned
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
have
not
received
the
Comforter
,
the
Holy
Spirit
,
to
be
their
Guide
and
Leader
out
of
all
Unrighteousness
;
and
here
appears
a
woful
Degeneration
.
And
that
you
Christians
,
through
all
the
World
,
are
revolted
,
and
gone
backward
from
Christianity
,
as
it
was
in
its
Original
;
a
Lamentation
may
be
taken
up
because
of
this
woful
Fall
,
into
which
you
Christians
are
fallen
:
Consider
of
your
own
state
,
and
return
,
and
repent
.
Again
,
The
Christians
were
begotten
of
God
,
and
born
of
him
,
1
Joh.
5.
18.
And
they
were
born
of
the
Word
of
God
,
and
of
the
incorruptible
Seed
,
1
Pet.
1.
23.
And
they
were
created
in
Christ
Iesus
unto
good
Works
,
Eph.
2.
10.
And
they
were
New
Creatures
,
and
old
things
were
done
away
,
2
Cor.
5.
17.
They
had
put
off
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
,
Col.
1.
18.
And
were
the
Servants
of
Righteousness
,
and
free
from
Sin
,
Rom.
6.
22.
as
you
may
read
.
But
now
also
,
Woful
are
you
Christians
degenerated
from
this
;
for
,
Thousands
upon
Thousands
of
you
are
not
born
nor
begotten
of
God
,
though
you
have
the
Name
of
Christians
;
neither
are
you
born
of
the
Word
of
God
,
which
lives
forever
,
nor
of
the
incorruptible
Seed
,
neither
are
created
again
,
nor
become
new
Creatures
,
nor
have
put
off
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
;
neither
are
the
Servants
of
Righteousness
,
nor
free
from
sin
.
But
on
the
contrary
,
Are
the
Servants
of
Sin
,
and
free
from
Righteousness
,
and
are
in
the
corruptible
state
,
and
are
old
Creatures
,
and
are
not
washed
,
nor
purified
as
the
Saints
were
,
as
you
may
read
,
1
Cor.
6.
11.
and
here
is
a
woful
Degeneration
of
the
Christians
now
,
from
what
the
Christians
were
in
the
beginning
:
The
Christians
then
were
New
Creature
,
and
put
off
the
Body
of
sin
,
and
were
washed
,
and
sanctified
:
But
the
Christians
now
are
not
so
,
but
the
contrary
;
to
wit
,
Unwashed
and
Unsanctified
,
remaining
in
the
Pollutions
of
the
World
,
and
are
of
the
birth
which
is
born
of
the
Flesh
,
and
are
in
the
old
nature
,
serving
sin
and
the
lusts
of
their
own
Hearts
;
and
thus
are
you
fallen
from
that
which
the
true
Christians
possessed
;
for
,
being
compar'd
to
them
,
you
are
not
agreeable
,
but
rather
contrary
to
them
in
all
these
things
and
the
Lord
is
now
come
to
search
you
,
and
to
try
you
;
and
to
all
People
shall
you
be
discover'd
;
for
the
Lord
is
now
risen
to
bring
all
to
Tryal
,
and
to
Judgment
.
And
again
,
Herein
will
the
Apostacy
of
the
Christians
appear
,
in
respect
of
Unity
and
Fellowship
;
for
the
Christians
,
in
their
Beginning
,
while
yet
the
Life
of
God
was
not
darkened
amongst
them
,
They
were
of
one
Heart
,
and
one
Mind
,
and
one
Soul
,
as
you
may
read
,
Acts
4.
32.
And
the
Lord
promised
,
That
he
would
give
unto
his
People
one
Heart
and
one
Way
:
And
Ezek.
11.
19.
the
Lord
promised
,
To
give
his
People
one
Heart
,
and
a
new
Spirit
:
Which
Promise
the
Christians
received
;
and
they
that
believed
were
of
one
Heart
,
and
there
was
no
lack
amongst
them
;
but
some
sold
their
Possessions
,
and
distributed
to
them
that
had
need
:
and
they
were
Members
of
Christ
,
and
he
was
Head
amongst
them
,
and
over
them
:
And
they
were
Flesh
of
his
Flesh
,
and
Bone
of
his
Bones
,
Eph.
5.
23
,
30.
And
all
the
Christians
were
of
one
Faith
,
Eph.
4.
5.
and
had
Unity
and
Fellowship
in
the
Life
which
was
made
manifest
in
them
;
for
they
had
tasted
,
and
handled
,
and
seen
,
and
heard
the
Word
of
Life
;
and
they
had
Fellowship
with
the
Father
,
and
with
his
Son
Iesus
Christ
.
But
all
ye
Chirstians
upon
Earth
,
how
are
you
degenerated
?
and
how
great
is
your
Fall
in
this
?
For
you
are
not
of
one
Heart
and
Mind
,
nor
in
Unity
and
Fellowship
one
with
another
;
but
are
of
divers
Sorts
and
Sects
,
and
are
run
into
many
Opinions
,
and
Divisions
;
and
are
of
many
Wayes
,
and
Minds
,
and
Hearts
:
Divers
sorts
there
are
of
Papists
,
and
divers
sorts
of
Protestants
,
so
called
,
which
are
all
divided
in
Opinions
,
and
striving
and
contending
about
Faith
,
and
Religion
,
and
the
Worship
of
God
;
and
are
opposing
one
another
,
and
putting
one
another
to
Death
,
because
of
a
difference
in
those
things
;
How
great
is
the
difference
through
many
Nations
amongst
Christians
about
those
things
?
which
sheweth
that
the
Christians
are
wofully
fallen
in
respect
of
Unity
,
and
it
is
manifest
such
Christians
have
not
received
the
Promise
of
God
,
as
the
Apostles
had
;
for
now
the
Christians
can
suffer
one
another
to
lack
,
and
to
perish
,
and
die
and
starve
for
hunger
and
want
:
Behold
in
all
this
all
ye
Christians
generally
how
you
are
fallen
;
then
,
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
,
no
lack
nor
want
was
amongst
them
;
they
that
had
much
,
sold
it
,
and
gave
to
them
that
had
none
;
but
now
thousands
are
oppressed
through
Want
,
while
others
have
too
much
;
some
are
feeding
and
clothing
excessively
,
with
their
multitude
of
Dishes
and
changes
of
Raiment
,
while
others
have
scarce
whereon
to
seed
,
or
to
cover
their
Nakedness
;
and
this
manifesteth
,
that
you
are
not
Members
of
the
Body
of
Christ
;
neither
is
he
Head
in
you
,
nor
amongst
you
;
but
you
are
Members
of
an
Harlot
,
and
joyn'd
to
a
Harlot
,
and
one
with
a
Harlot
;
for
you
profess
many
Faiths
;
some
say
,
They
believe
Christ
is
given
to
all
;
others
believe
,
Not
so
:
some
say
,
They
believe
he
died
for
all
;
others
they
say
,
They
believe
contrary
to
that
.
And
thus
the
one
Faith
,
which
the
Apostles
had
,
the
Christians
of
this
Generation
have
lost
;
and
they
have
lost
the
one
Head
,
Christ
,
and
have
many
Heads
;
every
Sect
hath
their
Head
:
Many
Heads
among
the
Protestants
;
many
Heads
among
the
Papists
;
but
thus
it
was
not
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
;
therefore
you
Christians
are
subverted
from
the
true
Life
of
Christ
.
The
Christians
then
were
of
one
Faith
;
but
now
of
many
:
The
Christians
then
had
one
Head
,
Christ
;
but
now
the
Christians
(
so
call'd
)
have
many
Heads
:
The
Christians
then
could
lay
down
their
lives
one
for
another
,
and
were
written
in
the
Hearts
of
one
another
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Living
God
;
but
the
Christians
now
are
in
Envy
one
towards
another
,
and
in
Strife
one
with
another
;
the
Great
Men
do
oppress
the
Poor
,
and
they
go
to
Law
one
with
another
for
Earthly
things
;
and
one
Stealing
from
another
,
and
one
Hanging
another
,
and
Murdering
one
another
,
and
making
Slaves
one
of
another
,
and
Robbing
one
another
,
and
seeking
utterly
to
destroy
one
another
;
and
yet
such
have
the
Name
of
Christians
,
amongst
whom
all
this
is
acted
.
But
consider
,
How
woful
is
your
Fall
?
and
how
wicked
is
your
Degeneration
from
the
Life
of
God
,
and
from
the
true
Christian
Life
and
Unity
which
was
amongst
them
in
their
Beginning
?
Then
they
were
of
one
Heart
,
and
of
one
Way
;
but
now
divided
,
and
in
Strife
and
Contention
about
Religion
,
and
the
Worship
of
God
;
and
also
about
Earthly
things
;
for
which
they
destroy
one
another
,
and
seek
so
to
do
:
Then
they
could
lay
down
their
lives
one
for
another
;
but
now
they
are
taking
the
life
one
from
another
,
through
wickedness
;
a
woful
Apostacy
,
and
great
night
of
darkness
is
upon
you
:
then
none
among
them
had
lack
of
any
thing
,
nor
none
destroy'd
through
wasting
any
thing
upon
their
Lusts
;
but
now
Thousands
perish
for
want
,
while
others
have
too
much
,
and
are
destroying
it
upon
their
Lusts
:
Then
had
the
Christians
one
Head
,
Christ
;
but
now
the
Beast
reigns
,
that
hath
many
Heads
:
Then
they
were
of
one
Faith
;
but
now
the
Christians
profess
many
Faiths
:
Then
the
Christians
handled
,
saw
,
heard
and
felt
of
the
Word
of
Life
in
them
,
and
they
had
Fellowship
with
the
Father
and
with
the
Son
;
but
now
Thousands
of
Thousands
of
Christians
are
without
the
sence
,
and
feeling
,
and
knowledge
of
the
Word
of
Life
in
them
,
and
walk
in
Darkness
and
in
Ignorance
,
and
have
no
Fellowship
with
the
Father
,
nor
with
the
Son
.
Behold
,
behold
,
ye
Christians
,
how
ye
are
fallen
,
and
how
great
is
your
Fall
!
A
Mourning
and
Lamentation
may
be
taken
up
for
you
:
The
Garment
of
Righteousness
is
rent
from
you
,
and
the
Beauty
of
the
Son
of
God
appears
not
upon
you
.
Alas
,
alas
,
What
doth
it
advantage
you
,
to
have
the
Name
of
Christians
,
seeing
you
are
thus
wofully
degenerate
from
that
Love
,
Unity
and
Life
,
in
the
Fellowship
of
God
,
which
was
among
the
Apostles
,
who
were
the
first
Christians
,
and
from
whom
ye
derived
the
Name
;
but
are
without
the
Life
,
as
hereby
is
manifest
to
the
World
.
Again
,
Herein
doth
the
Apostacy
of
the
Christians
appear
,
in
respect
of
Holiness
and
Purity
of
Life
;
for
,
The
Christians
were
of
a
holy
Life
and
Conversation
,
the
Apostle
said
,
1
Thes.
4.
7.
God
hath
not
called
them
unto
Uncleanness
,
but
unto
Holiness
.
And
as
you
may
read
,
Tit.
2.
The
aged
Man
were
to
be
Sober
,
Grave
,
Temperate
,
Sound
in
the
Faith
,
in
Charity
,
in
Patience
;
and
the
aged
Women
likewise
,
their
Behaviour
was
to
be
as
became
Holiness
;
and
the
young
Women
were
to
be
Discreet
and
Chaste
;
and
young
Men
were
to
be
Sober
minded
;
and
Servants
were
to
be
Obedient
to
their
Masters
,
and
to
shew
good
Fidelity
:
For
saith
the
Apostle
unto
the
Christians
,
The
Grace
of
God
had
appeared
,
teaching
them
to
live
Soberly
,
Righteously
,
and
Godly
,
in
this
present
World
:
for
that
end
was
Christ
given
,
that
he
might
redeem
them
from
all
Iniquity
,
and
purifie
unto
himself
a
peculiar
People
,
zealous
of
Good
Works
.
Now
here
,
in
short
,
is
a
true
Description
of
the
true
Christian
Life
and
Conversation
,
which
was
exhorted
to
,
and
no
doubt
but
practiced
by
the
Christians
,
in
the
dayes
when
Christ
was
manifest
amongst
them
;
but
from
this
Practice
are
the
Christians
degenerated
:
For
,
How
are
the
aged
Men
and
Women
now
given
to
Covetousness
,
and
Earthly-mindedness
,
and
are
Peevish
,
and
Perverse
,
and
Immoderate
,
and
in
the
Works
that
are
Evil
;
shewing
that
they
are
not
in
the
Apostles
Doctrine
,
and
not
in
the
Christian
Life
,
but
to
it
are
become
dead
,
bringing
forth
Fruits
contrary
to
the
Fruits
that
the
aged
Men
and
Women
brought
forth
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
;
shewing
they
are
not
of
a
holy
Life
and
Conversation
,
as
the
Christians
were
,
and
ought
to
be
:
And
also
,
how
are
the
young
Men
,
and
the
young
Women
degenerated
from
the
true
Christian
Life
,
and
now
are
given
to
Wantonness
and
Pleasures
of
the
World
,
and
the
Lusts
,
which
are
evil
;
following
Vanity
,
and
Pride
,
and
Vain-Glory
:
And
Masters
and
Servants
being
corrupt
in
their
places
,
serving
themselves
one
of
another
,
and
making
a
Prey
one
upon
another
?
And
thus
all
sorts
of
Christians
are
fallen
from
the
Christian
Life
,
and
Holy
Conversation
;
and
shew
,
that
they
own
not
the
Grace
of
God
,
which
hath
appeared
to
all
men
,
to
be
their
Teacher
,
as
the
true
Christians
once
did
:
For
it
is
manifest
,
That
the
Christians
now
(
so
called
)
have
not
deny'd
all
Ungodliness
,
and
Worldly
Lusts
;
neither
do
live
Soberly
,
Righteously
,
and
Godly
in
this
present
World
,
as
the
Christians
did
;
but
on
the
contrary
:
How
are
ye
Christians
fallen
from
the
pure
and
Holy
Life
,
abounding
in
Wickedness
and
in
all
Ungodliness
?
How
doth
Pride
abound
among
Christians
?
How
doth
Lying
,
Swearing
,
Drunkenness
and
Whoredom
,
and
all
the
works
of
the
Flesh
abound
;
Dissimulation
,
Back-biting
,
Envy
,
Wrath
,
and
all
that
ever
can
be
called
Evil
is
abounding
amongst
ye
Christians
,
so
called
?
This
shews
that
your
Apostacy
is
great
from
that
Life
and
Conversation
which
the
Apostles
,
and
Churches
of
Christians
were
in
,
who
had
denied
all
Ungodliness
,
and
worldly
Lusts
;
but
generally
ye
live
in
all
Ungodliness
,
and
worldly
Lust
:
judge
ye
of
this
Backsliding
into
which
ye
are
faln
;
they
were
taught
to
live
soberly
,
righteously
,
and
godly
in
this
present
World
;
but
ye
live
unrighteously
,
and
ungodly
,
and
out
of
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
the
Grace
of
God
is
not
your
Teacher
,
as
it
was
theirs
:
Also
you
may
read
how
much
the
Apostles
exhorted
the
Christians
to
a
holy
Life
and
Conversation
;
the
Apostle
said
,
1
Cor.
3.
17.
The
Temple
of
God
is
holy
,
which
Temple
ye
are
,
speaking
to
the
Christians
:
And
he
said
,
Eph.
1.
4.
They
were
chosen
in
Christ
,
that
they
should
be
Holy
and
without
Blame
before
him
,
in
Love
:
And
Col.
1.
22.
They
that
had
been
sometimes
Enemies
to
God
in
their
minds
,
were
reconciled
,
to
present
them
Holy
and
Unbl●meable
in
his
sight
.
And
1
Pet.
1.
25.
The
Apostle
exhorted
the
Christians
to
be
holy
in
all
manner
of
Conversation
:
And

the
Christians
witnessed
,
That
their
conversations
were
in
Heaven
.
Now
herein
doth
the
fall
of
Christians
appear
,
in
respect
of
their
Life
and
Conversation
,
and
walking
;
for
the
Christians
in
the
Apostles
dayes
were
of
a
holy
Life
;
and
exhorted
all
thereunto
,
but
the
Christians
now
,
both
Teachers
and
People
are
degenerate
in
their
conversation
,
and
live
in
all
Unrighteousness
,
as
I
have
said
:
And
the
Conversation
of
Christians
now
,
being
compared
with
what
the
Christians
Conversation
was
then
,
it
is
altogether
contrary
,
and
sheweth
,
That
though
you
have
the
Name
of
Chris●…
,
ye
are
not
Followers
of
Christ
,
nor
led
by
his
Spirit
;
but
by
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
.
Oh
,
how
wofully
are
you
fallen
,
you
Christians
,
from
the
Life
of
Christ
!
having
a
Name
to
live
,
but
are
dead
:
The
Lord
God
is
coming
against
you
,
to
break
you
to
pieces
;
for
you
have
poluted
his
Name
,
in
that
you
profess
to
be
his
People
in
words
,
but
in
works
do
deny
him
.
Oh!
Remember
,
remember
from
whence
you
are
fallen
,
and
return
,
lest
the
Anger
of
God
consume
you
from
off
the
Earth
;
for
your
conversations
greatly
dishonour
the
true
God
.
Oh
,
what
Gluttonny
and
Drunkenness
is
amongst
Christians
?
What
Pride
and
Vain-glory
?
What
Cruelty
,
Envy
and
Murde●
one
against
another
?
what
Whoredoms
and
Fornication
?
what
Cozening
?
what
Cheating
?
How
doth
all
Wickedness
abound
amongst
you
,
in
your
lives
and
conversations
?
Let
the
Lord
be
Witness
,
and
your
own
consciences
be
Witnesses
against
you
for
your
Abominations
;
they
that
were
true
Christians
,
who
followed
Christ
,
lived
not
in
,
but
were
redeem'd
from
such
Transgressions
;
but
you
live
in
them
,
and
act
in
them
,
wherefore
be
ye
Witnesses
against
your selves
,
that
ye
are
fallen
and
digressed
from
the
true
Christian
Estate
.
Again
,
Herein
will
you
Christians
appear
to
be
degenerated
from
〈◊〉
Christianity
,
in
respect
of
your
Ministry
;
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
,
they
were
made
Ministers
by
the
Gift
of
th●
Holy
Spirit
,
which
was
given
to
them
;
for
they
were
commanded
to
wait
at
Ierusalem
for
the
Promise
of
the
Father
;
and
they
were
not
to
go
forth
,
till
they
had
received
Power
from
God
by
the
Gift
of
his
holy
Spirit
;
and
when
that
was
come
,
they
should
be
Witnesses
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
Acts
1.
4
,
8.
And
as
they
were
waiting
with
one
accord
,
in
one
place
,
the
Holy
Ghost
fell
amongst
them
,
an
filled
them
,
and
then
they
began
to
speak
,
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance
;
and
they
went
up
and
down
,
and
testified
to
the
World
of
what
they
had
heard
and
seen
,
Acts
2.
4.
Now
this
was
the
Call
of
Christian
Ministers
,
and
this
〈◊〉
the
Authority
by
which
they
went
forth
into
the
World
,
to
wit
,
The
Spirit
of
God
poured
upon
them
;
and
by
Authority
of
this
only
they
went
up
and
do●…
the
World
,
and
declared
what
they
had
handled
,
seen
and
tasted
of
the
Word
of
Life
,
1
Iohn
1.
And
as
every
man
had
received
the
Gift
,
so
they
might
minister
the
same
one
to
another
,
1
Pet.
4.
10.
And
this
was
the
Practice
of
the
Christian
Ministers
,
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
,
concerning
their
C●●
to
the
Ministry
.
But
how
are
the
Christians
here
degenerated
from
what
the
Apostles
were
in
,
for
by
another
way
,
then
this
,
are
your
Ministers
made
,
not
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
received
from
God
;
neither
do
the
Christians
now
wait
for
such
a
thing
,
to
go
forth
by
Authority
and
Power
thereof
:
but
they
are
made
Ministers
by
Natural
Learning
,
and
Education
at
Schools
,
having
Authority
by
man
,
and
are
approved
of
man
,
and
not
of
God
:
And
a
man
knoweth
which
of
his
children
he
will
make
a
Minister
,
when
they
are
Infants
,
and
thereupon
puts
him
to
Schools
,
to
learn
Arts
and
Knowledge
of
Earthly
things
,
for
so
long
time
,
till
he
hath
gain'd
so
much
Knowledge
and
Craft
to
be
approved
of
such
and
such
men
(
and
as
is
his
Knowledge
,
and
Oportunity
serves
;
withal
,
having
a
great
Place
provided
,
where
there
is
great
store
of
Maintenance
)
such
a
man
becomes
a
Minister
,
and
a
Preacher
to
others
;
having
never
received
,
nor
thought
to
receive
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
neither
having
heard
,
seen
,
tasted
nor
handled
any
thing
of
the
Word
of
Life
from
God
,
in
his
own
particular
;
neither
hath
he
received
the
Gift
of
Christ
to
be
made
a
Minister
by
.
This
sheweth
greatly
your
Degeneration
from
the
true
Christian
Spirit
;
none
then
Ministers
among
Christians
,
but
them
who
had
received
the
gift
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
power
from
on
high
;
but
now
Ministers
are
made
and
approved
,
and
sent
forth
amongst
Christians
,
because
of
natural
learning
and
education
,
without
receiving
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
:
And
the
Ministers
of
Christ
then
spoke
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance
;
but
now
Ministers
study
for
what
they
speak
,
and
read
old
Authors
to
gather
forth
Matter
to
preach
to
the
people
:
Then
the
Christian
Ministers
heard
,
and
tasted
,
and
handled
of
the
Word
of
Life
in
themselves
;
but
now
the
Ministers
have
their
Knowledge
from
Books
,
and
what
they
have
heard
and
read
without
them
.
Oh!
How
great
is
your
Apostacy
,
ye
Christians
?
and
in
respect
of
your
Ministry
,
how
greatly
are
you
degenerated
from
the
Ministry
which
the
Christians
once
had
?
Behold
and
consider
this
all
ye
Christians
upon
Earth
:
Your
Ministry
is
proved
not
to
agree
,
but
rather
to
be
contrary
to
that
Ministry
which
was
amongst
Christians
,
in
the
purity
of
Christianity
,
as
here
by
is
manifest
:
and
you
are
fallen
from
the
Ministry
made
by
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
to
a
Ministry
made
by
natural
Learning
;
Consider
all
ye
Christians
how
great
is
this
Fall
.
Again
,
In
respect
of
the
Maintenance
of
your
Ministry
your
Degeneration
doth
appear
;
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
amongst
Christians
,
as
they
were
called
by
the
Spirit
,
so
they
were
maintained
in
the
Work
of
their
Ministry
by
the
〈◊〉
Gift
of
the
people
,
who
received
their
Ministry
;
and
they
were
to
give
freely
,
and
minister
freely
,
as
they
had
received
freely
,
Mat.

The
Apostle
preached
the
Gospel
of
God
freely
,
and
would
not
make
it
chargeable
to
any
,
1
Cor.

And
the
Ministers
of
Christ
among
Christians
at
that
day
,
went
through
the
World
,
and
preached
freely
the
things
that
they
had
received
from
God
:
and
they
sought
no
mans
Money
,
nor
Gold
,
nor
App●●el
,
Acts
20.

And
saith
the
Apostle
,
2
Cor.
12.
14.
I
seek
not
yours
,
but
〈◊〉
;
and
that
was
their
end
altogether
,
to
bring
people
to
God
by
their
Ministry
:
only
Christ
did
allow
,
Luke

Into
whatsoever
House
they
entred
,
that
was
worthy
,
〈◊〉
might
there
abide
,
eating
and
drinking
such
things
as
were
set
before
them
.
And
it
●…s
the
Apostles
practice
sometimes
to
reap
carnal
things
,
where
they
had
sown
Spiritual
things
;
and
it
was
a
small
matter
that
they
did
so
:
Yet
by
a
free
Gift
they
desir'd
to
reap
it
,
and
not
by
Force
and
Violence
did
they
ever
obtain
any
thing
.
●…t
concerning
this
,
Great
is
the
Degeneration
of
Christians
in
this
Gene●…n
;
for
now
the
Ministers
amongst
you
Christians
are
maintain'd
by
an
●…rd
power
,
through
compelling
Maintenance
of
Tythes
,
and
other
Set-W●…
,
from
the
people
,
even
from
them
that
do
not
receive
their
Ministry
,
and
they
do
not
preach
freely
,
but
makes
their
preaching
chargeable
to
whole
Nations
,
and
the
maintaining
of
Christian
Ministers
is
become
a
bur●…n
to
whole
Nations
,
and
great
Oppressions
upon
the
poor
;
and
now
the
●…ers
seek
mens
money
,
and
gold
;
and
it
doth
not
appear
,
that
they
only
seek
a
people
to
God
;
but
on
the
contrary
they
seek
peoples
mony
to
themselves
;
and
it
doth
not
satisfie
the
Ministers
now
to
eat
and
dri●…k
such
things
that
are
set
before
them
in
a
House
that
is
worthy
,
but
they
must
have
so
much
a
year
and
so
much
a
Sermon
,
and
so
much
for
every
particular
man
of
his
Parish
,
be
they
worthy
or
unworthy
,
to
the
value
of
a
hundred
,
or
two
hundred
pounds
by
the
year
;
whereby
poor
people
are
greatly
oppressed
;
and
they
will
reap
carnal
things
by
force
and
violence
,
from
them
to
whom
they
sow
no
spiritual
things
;
for
they
are
suing
at
Law
,
and
putting
in
Prison
,
and
distraining
peoples
Goods
by
Force
and
Cruelty
,
to
maintain
them
and
their
Families
in
Pride
and
idleness
,
which
things
the
Christian
Ministers
formerly
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
never
did
;
but
were
often
under
great
Sufferings
,
in
Fasting
often
,
and
in
Cold
,
and
Nakedness
often
:

Wherefore
ye
Christians
,
behold
how
you
are
fallen
,
and
how
your
Ministry
〈◊〉
generated
both
in
its
Call
,
and
in
its
Maintenance
,
being
diverted
quite
contrary
to
what
the
Christian-Ministry
was
once
:
Behold
,
I
say
,
how
you
are
fallen
!
and
your
Ministry
quite
subverted
from
what
the
Ministry
〈◊〉
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
:
Then
the
Maintenance
of
Ministers
was
by
a
free
Gift
from
them
that
received
their
Ministry
;
and
they
would
not
make
their
Ministry
chargeable
to
any
:
But
now
the
Maintenance
of
Ministers
is
by
Force
and
Cruelty
,
and
great
Oppression
of
many
people
;
and
their
Preaching
is
chargeable
to
many
Nations
.
Then
they
sought
no
man's
Gold
,
nor
Money
,
nor
fought
Riches
from
the
people
;
but
only
sought
the
people
to
God
;
But
now
men's
Money
and
Riches
are
sought
,
and
taken
from
them
by
Violence
,
without
regard
of
seeking
people
,
or
bringing
people
to
God
.
Then
to
eat
and
drink
(
in
a
house
that
was
worthy
)
such
things
as
were
set
before
them
;
and
to
reap
carnal
things
,
as
Meat
and
drink
,
and
Necess●●●es
,
by
a
free
Gift
,
from
them
that
received
their
Ministry
;
this
was
a
sufficient
Maintenance
for
the
Christian
Ministers
:
But
now
,
so
many
Hundred
Pounds
by
the
Year
,
to
maintain
themselves
and
their
Families
in
Pride
and
Idleness
,
and
to
reap
it
by
Compulsion
and
Injustice
from
poor
people
:
In
this
manner
are
the
Christi●●
Ministers
now
maintain'd
,
which
is
manifest
to
be
quite
contrary
to
the
Practice
of
Christian
Ministers
in
the
Apostles
dayes
.
Behold
your
Fall
,
ye
Christians
,
and
how
you
are
degenerated
!
The
Lord
is
come
to
try
you
;
and
to
search
you
;
you
are
weighed
,
and
are
found
too
light
;
you
are
measured
,
and
are
found
wanting
;
what
the
Christians
once
were
in
their
Purity
,
you
are
not
,
in
many
things
,
but
the
contrary
;
which
sheweth
that
you
have
the
Name
of
Christians
only
by
Tradition
,
but
are
witho●●
the
Life
;
and
being
paralell'd
with
the
Christians
,
who
truly
follow'd
Christ
,
you
are
no
whit
equal
to
them
in
any
thing
,
but
wholy
contrary
in
all
things
;
shewing
you
follow
another
spirit
,
then
they
who
were
Followers
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
so
witnessing
to
the
whole
World
,
that
you
are
degenerated
,
out
of
Christ
,
the
true
Vine
,
and
are
Branches
in
a
degenerate
stock
,
which
brings
Fruit
forth
through
you
,
which
hononreth
not
God
,
but
grieveth
his
pure
Spirit
:
And
be
Witnesses
against
your selves
,
that
you
are
fallen
and
degenerated
from
that
Life
and
Practice
which
was
amongst
the
Apostles
and
Christians
.
Again
,
As
concerning
your
Worship
;
which
is
now
practiced
amongst
you
Christians
through
the
World
;
herein
also
will
your
Apostacy
greatly
appear
;
for
the
Worship
of
the
Christians
was
one
,
and
guided
by
one
Spirit
,
and
was
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Truth
,
saith
Christ
(
Iohn
4.
)
concerning
the
Worship
of
Christians
,
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
they
that
worship
him
,
must
worship
him
in
Sp●…
〈◊〉
in
Truth
.
And
saith
the
Apostle
,
We
are
the
Circumcision
,
that
worship
God
in
Spirit
,
and
rejoyce
in
Christ
Iesus
,
and
have
no
Confidence
in
the
Flesh
,
Phil.

〈◊〉
these
were
Christians
.
And
also
,
Rom.
6.
7.
They
worshipped
God
not
in
the
O●…ness
of
the
Letter
,
but
in
the
Newness
of
the
Spirit
;
and
the
Spirit
guided
them
i●
all
things
,
and
was
their
Teacher
in
all
their
Worship
;
for
,
the
Spirit
〈◊〉
them
to
pray
,
and
they
pray'd
in
the
Spirit
;
and
they
knew
not
what
they
should
●ray
for
,
as
they
ought
,
but
the
Spirit
made
intercession
for
them
,
Rom.
8.
26.
And
the
Christians
were
exhorted
to
pray
in
the
Holy
Gh●st
,
Jude
20.
And
the
Preaching
of
Christians
,
it
was
in
the
Spirit
,
and
by
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
;
For
they
preached
as
the
Spirit
gave
them
utterance
,
Acts
2.
And
Philip
was
led
by
the
Spirit
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
moved
Philip
to
go
and
pre●h
to
the
Eunuch
,
Acts
8.
And
the
Apostles
went
up
and
down
,
as
they
were
moved
and
led
by
the
Spirit
;
and
preached
and
prayed
in
what
place
,
and
at
what
time
and
season
,
as
the
Spirit
moved
them
,
and
gave
them
utterance
;
sometimes
in
the
Fields
,
and
sometimes
in
Houses
:
This
was
the
Practice
of
the
Christians
in
their
Preaching
and
Praying
.
And
also
the
Apostle
said
,
I
will
pray
with
the
Spirit
,
and
with
Understanding
;
I
will
sing
with
the
Spirit
,
and
with
Understanding
:
And
he
exhorted
the
Christ●…
.
To
speak
in
Psalms
,
and
spiritual
Songs
,
singing
to
the
Lord
,
and
making
Melody
in
their
Hearts
to
him
,
Eph.

Now
this
is
the
Testimony
concerning
what
the
Worship
of
Christians
was
,
its
manifest
,
that
it
was
in
the
Spirit
,
and
by
the
Teaching
of
the
Spirit
,
their
preaching
,
praying
,
and
singing
were
in
the
Spirit
,
taught
and
exercised
therein
by
the
Spirit
which
they
had
received
from
God
.
But
now
the
Worship
of
Christians
at
this
day
,
is
not
agreeable
to
this
,
but
being
said
to
the
line
of
Judgment
,
is
proved
contrary
:
for
first
,
the
Christians
n●w
are
divi●ed
in
their
Worship
,
and
have
many
Forms
of
Worship
,
some
worshipping
after
one
manner
,
and
others
after
another
;
so
that
amongst
the
Christians
ther●…
divers
Forms
of
worshipping
,
and
they
are
striving
and
con●●ding
about
th●
Worship
,
every
one
praising
their
own
Form
,
and
striving
one
against
anothers
Form
of
Worship
;
and
this
sheweth
,
that
the
Christians
now
are
not
guided
nor
exercised
by
the
one
Spirit
of
God
,
in
their
worship
;
and
this
shews
that
the
Christians
now
are
degenerated
from
the
true
Worship
of
God
in
Spirit
,
which
once
the
Christians
Worship
stood
in
;
for
then
the
Worship
of
Christians
was
one
,
and
in
one
Spirit
;
but
now
the
Worships
of
Christians
are
many
,
and
divers
,
and
divided
one
from
another
,
and
they
are
not
in
unity
in
their
Worship
,
〈◊〉
in
strife
and
division
;
and
herein
you
are
apostatized
from
the
Life
o●…●…ristianity
,
and
its
manifest
that
the
Worship
of
Chr●…s
now
,
is
not
in
〈◊〉
S●…t
,
and
in
the
Truth
,
but
in
vain
Traditi●…
;
learned
in
natural
knowl●…ge
by
people
that
are
not
converted
unto
God
,
and
any
part
of
the
Worship
which
is
now
practised
amongst
Christians
,
whether
amongst
Papists
of
any
sort
,
or
Protestants
of
any
sort
;
I
say
;
every
part
of
the
Worship
now
practised
amongst
Christians
through
the
World
,
may
by
taught
unto
,
and
learned
of
,
and
exercised
in
,
by
a
man
that
knows
●●t
God
,
neither
is
in
the
Truth
,
nor
converted
to
the
Truth
;
neither
hath
the
Spirit
of
God
guiding
nor
leading
of
him
:
And
I
say
,
That
which
may
be
done
,
or
practised
by
a
man
,
that
is
not
in
the
Spirit
,
nor
in
the
Truth
,
not
is
yet
converted
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
nor
is
not
in
any
measure
gu●●ed
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
not
the
Worship
of
the
true
God
,
which
is
in
the
Spirit
and
Truth
;
but
,
as
I
have
said
,
any
part
of
the
Worship
now
pr●…sed
amongst
Christians
,
may
be
done
and
practised
by
aman
that
is
out
of
the
Spirit
,
and
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
unconverted
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
;
〈◊〉
therefore
the
Worship
now
pract●●ed
amongst
Christians
,
is
not
the
true
worship
of
the
true
God
,
which
is
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
which
c●●not
be
practised
without
it
.
Many
more
things
might
be
said
,
as
to
prove
the
Worship
of
Christians
now
,
〈◊〉
practised
by
them
,
is
not
the
true
Worship
of
the
true
God
;
but
this
is
〈◊〉
which
I
have
said
,
that
which
is
practised
without
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
not
the
true
Worship
of
God
,
which
must
be
in
the
Spirit
,
and
cannot
be
practised
without
it
;
but
such
is
the
worship
of
Christians
;
for
the
Christians●●ow
●●ow
generally
pray
,
some
after
one
Form
,
and
some
after
another
,
in
their
own
wills
and
times
,
and
know
not
the
movings
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
t●ereunto
,
nor
guiding
them
therein
,
but
in
such
a
manner
as
they
set
unto
themselves
,
or
as
the
custom
of
the
Country
instructs
them
therein
,
and
know
not
the
intercession
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
in
them
,
nor
know
not
the
praying
in
the
Holy
Ghost
:
and
as
for
the
preaching
of
Christians
,
it
is
not
now
practised
as
the
Christians
of
old
practised
it
,
nor
by
the
same
Spirit
:
now
they
study
for
what
they
speak
,
and
gather
out
of
the
Scriptures
;
●ome
having
it
written
in
a
Book
what
they
will
preach
to
the
people
and
this
is
not
to
preach
as
the
spirit
gives
them
utterance
,
neither
is
this
from
the
teaching
or
moving
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
by
humane
Art
,
and
humane
Craft
,
knowing
before-hand
,
what
,
and
how
much
to
speak
,
so
much
as
they
have
collected
in
their
thoughts
from
such
a
Verse
,
and
how
long
to
preach
,
till
a
Glass
be
run
,
and
know
what
to
have
for
preaching
:
and
this
,
and
such
like
,
is
the
manner
of
the
Preaching
now
among
Christians
,
which
hath
no
savour
in
it
of
God's
Spirit
,
or
of
the
Teachings
and
Leadings
of
God's
Spirit
in
it
;
but
altogether
contrary
,
to
wit
,
This
Practice
savours
of
Idolatry
,
and
of
vain
Traditions
and
Superstitions
.
And
in
short
,
This
Practice
of
Preaching
among
the
Christians
now
,
is
not
in
the
same
manner
,
neither
by
the
same
Spirit
,
nor
for
the
same
End
,
as
the
Preaching
of
the
Christians
was
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
;
which
sheweth
,
that
the
Christians
now
are
Apostatized
,
and
greatly
Degenerated
from
what
the
Christians
were
then
:
For
again
,
The
Christian
Ministers
now
do
not
go
as
they
are
moved
of
the
Lord
up
and
down
,
from
Country
to
Country
,
to
convert
people
to
God
,
as
the
Christian
Ministers
did
then
:
But
enquire
for
places
of
great
Maintenance
,
where
there
are
great
store
of
Tythes
,
and
Set-Wages
;
and
if
they
can
,
there
they
settle
themselves
,
and
preach
in
manner
as
I
have
said
.
And
this
practice
savours
nothing
of
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
nor
of
the
Movings
of
that
Spirit
whereby
the
Christian
Ministers
of
old
were
guided
;
which
sheweth
,
that
the
Christian
Ministers
now
are
in
the
Apostacy
,
and
in
the
Degeneration
from
God
,
and
from
what
the
Christian
Ministers
were
then
.
And
as
concerning
the
Practice
of
Singing
no●
amongst
Christians
,
it
is
not
in
the
Spirit
,
nor
with
a
good
Understandi●…
but
in
a
vain
Form
and
Tradition
,
and
not
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Lor●…
〈◊〉
now
the
Christians
,
many
of
them
,
in
a
Form
sing
the
Conditions
〈◊〉
,
as
David's
Prayers
,
and
Praises
,
Troubles
,
and
Afflictions
;
when
as
themselves
are
in
a
condition
quite
contrary
to
what
David
was
,
and
so
sing
that
which
unto
themselves
is
false
,
as
being
out
of
that
condition
of
which
they
sing
;
and
this
is
not
singing
with
the
Spirit
,
neither
is
it
to
sing
spiritual
Songs
:
And
others
of
Christians
have
another
manner
of
singing
,
all
which
singing
of
Christians
now
hath
no
savour
of
the
Teachings
of
God's
Spirit
in
it
;
neither
is
it
according
,
nor
by
the
same
Spirit
,
as
the
singing
of
the
Christians
once
was
.
A
woful
Apostacy
is
fallen
upon
you
,
ye
Christians
through
the
World
,
and
you
are
fallen
,
you
are
fallen
from
the
Life
of
Christ
,
and
the
true
Pra●…
of
Christianity
,
as
the
first
Christians
were
in
;
then
their
praying
was
in
the
Spirit
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
;
but
now
without
the
Spirit
,
in
Forms
and
Traditions
;
Their
Preaching
then
was
as
the
Spirit
led
them
,
and
as
it
gave
them
utterance
;
but
now
by
humane
Learning
and
Policy
,
at
such
a
Place
for
so
much
a
Year
,
an
Hour
by
a
Glass
,
what
they
have
gathered
by
study
upon
other
mens
Works
:
Then
the
Singing
of
Christians
was
in
the
Spirit
,
and
their
whole
Worship
was
spiritual
,
in
the
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Truth
;
but
the
Singing
of
Christians
now
,
and
all
their
Worship
,
is
in
vain
Traditions
,
exercis'd
without
the
Leadings
and
Movings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
:
Then
the
Worship
of
Christians
was
one
,
and
by
one
.
Spirit
,
now
it
is
divers
,
and
in
division
,
and
in
many
co●trary
spirits
.
Alas
,
oh
ye
Christians
!
consider
how
great
is
your
Fall
,
and
how
wo●●l
your
Degeneration
,
in
respect
of
your
Worship
;
fallen
greatly
from
the
teaching
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
in
your
Praying
,
in
your
Preaching
,
and
in
your
Singing
,
to
follow
humane
Learning
,
and
worldly
Policy
,
and
vain
Traditions
,
the
Customs
of
the
Country
,
and
your
own
Imaginations
,
in
your
Praying
,
Preaching
,
and
Singing
,
as
I
have
proved
unto
you
.
Oh
consider
how
great
is
your
Apostacy
from
the
true
Life
of
true
Christianity
!
Greatly
do
you
err
from
the
pure
Way
,
wherein
the
true
Christians
walked
,
and
being
truly
paralell'd
with
them
,
and
measur'd
with
the
Spirit
of
true
Judgment
,
you
are
found
not
equal
to
them
in
any
measure
,
but
rather
contrary
altogether
;
shewing
you
are
guided
by
another
spirit
then
once
the
Christians
were
,
and
that
you
follow
another
Teacher
then
once
they
did
;
your
Practices
do
make
it
manifest
,
which
are
contrary
,
and
not
according
to
what
the
Practice
of
the
Christians
once
were
:
Is
not
my
Judgment
just
upon
you
?
Have
you
not
lost
that
,
and
are
departed
from
it
,
which
gave
the
Name
of
Christian
;
and
so
have
the
Name
without
the
thing
;
a
Profession
of
Christianity
,
but
no
true
Title
therein
;
but
having
lost
that
which
gave
the
true
Title
to
the
Name
?
So
that
this
is
your
state
,
and
this
is
your
Condition
generally
,
ye
Christians
through
the
World
;
A
Name
you
have
of
Christianity
,
but
to
the
True
Life
thereof
,
in
every
Particular
,
are
you
dead
.
And
now
all
ye
Christians
upon
Earth
,
Behold
,
behold
how
you
are
fallen
and
degenerated
in
all
these
things
,
and
many
more
,
which
might
be
named
I
Faln
I
say
from
the
true
Christian
Life
and
Practice
,
wherein
the
Christians
once
were
;
shewing
fully
to
all
the
World
,
that
the
Spirit
of
Christ
doth
not
now
guide
you
Christians
,
but
another
Spirit
,
which
brings
forth
through
you
other
Works
and
Fruits
,
and
of
another
nature
then
what
the
Christians
once
brought
forth
;
and
being
compared
with
them
,
you
are
no
whit
equal
;
in
the
very
way
and
means
,
whereby
you
are
made
Christians
,
you
differ
from
them
,
and
in
all
your
practices
,
and
in
life
and
conversation
you
are
contrary
to
them
:
And
in
respect
of
your
Worship
and
Ministry
,
in
every
part
thereof
,
are
you
altogether
contrary
unto
what
the
Christians
once
were
;
yea
,
in
your
very
Apparel
you
shew
a
Degeneration
from
the
true
Life
and
Practice
in
Christianity
,
for
the
Apostle
exhorted
the
Christians
to
adorn
themselves
in
modest
Apparel
,
with
Shamefacedness
and
Sobriety
;
not
with
brodered
Hair
,
or
Gold
,
or
Pearls
,
or
costly
Array
,
1
Tim.
2.
9.
And
the
Christians
were
there
exorted
,
That
●●eir
Adorning
should
not
be
the
outward
plaiting
of
the
Hair
,
or
of
wearing
Gold
,
or
putting
〈◊〉
of
Apparel
.
But
now
amongst
ye
Christians
is
a
practice
found
quite
contrary
;
What
Vanity
and
Excess
is
in
your
Apparel
,
striving
to
excel
one
another
in
Pride
and
Vain-Glory
,
in
your
Gold
,
and
Silver
,
and
costly
Array
;
spending
the
Creation
of
God
to
satisfie
your
lustful
Minds
;
shewing
another
spirit
then
was
amongst
the
Christians
of
old
,
whose
words
and
Name
ye
p●●fess
,
but
are
degenerated
from
the
Life
,
in
things
of
greater
and
less
moment
.
Alas
,
alas
!
Oh
wo
is
me
for
you
!
How
is
my
spirit
often
oppressed
in
the
remembrance
of
your
woful
Fall
?
What
shall
I
say
unto
you
but
this
?
You
are
revolted
,
and
gone
away
backward
from
the
Way
of
Life
;
and
you
have
altogether
forgotten
God
;
and
are
degenerated
from
Christ
,
the
living
Vine
;
and
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
is
now
greatly
kindled
against
you
,
to
consume
you
,
and
to
confound
you
,
because
you
are
revolted
and
turned
aside
from
the
pure
and
perfect
Way
of
God
,
which
once
was
manifest
amongst
Christians
.
And
your
Back-sliding
and
Apostacy
is
truly
compared
to
that
of
the
Iews
,
who
did
retain
the
Name
of
the
People
of
God
,
after
they
were
turned
aside
from
his
Commandments
;
even
as
you
do
retain
the
Name
of
Christians
,
though
you
are
departed
from
Christ
:
For
the
Iews
had
seen
and
known
much
of
the
Power
,
and
Presence
,
and
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
in
many
great
Victories
and
Deliverances
;
and
the
Lord
had
chosen
them
above
any
other
People
at
that
day
,
to
place
his
Name
with
them
,
and
amongst
them
;
and
yet
after
all
that
,
they
forgot
his
wondrous
Works
,
and
rebell'd
against
him
,
and
became
a
Stiff-necked
and
Hard-hearted
people
,
much
more
then
any
other
besides
them
;
and
they
would
not
be
instructed
,
nor
reclaimed
by
the
Voice
of
the
Prophets
,
but
smote
them
,
and
slew
them
;
and
when
Christ
their
Saviour
came
,
they
would
not
receive
him
,
nor
walk
in
his
Wayes
;
but
crucified
him
,
saying
,
They
would
not
have
t●…
Man
to
reign
over
them
.
And
to
this
,
in
every
particular
,
are
the
Christians
now
found
equal
,
and
agreeing
with
Back-sliding
Israel
;
for
much
of
the
Hand
and
Power
of
the
Lord
were
the
Christians
made
Partakers
of
;
and
the
Lord
wrought
great
Deliverances
for
them
,
when
they
were
few
in
number
,
and
under
heavy
Yoaks
and
Bondage
,
through
Persecution
and
cruel
Dealing
;
yet
then
the
Lord
was
with
them
,
and
increased
them
greatly
in
number
,
and
gave
them
Victory
in
a
great
measure
over
all
their
Enemies
;
but
now
are
they
revolted
,
even
as
the
Iews
,
and
have
forgotten
God
,
and
greatly
rebelled
against
him
,
and
have
turned
his
Love
to
their
Lusts
,
abusing
his
Loving-kindness
,
and
are
become
a
stiff-necked
and
hard-hearted
people
,
as
ever
were
the
Iews
;
and
now
you
will
not
be
instructed
,
nor
reclaimed
from
the
Error
of
your
wayes
;
but
abound
in
all
manner
of
Unrighteousness
,
and
will
not
hearken
to
the
Voice
of
the
Lord
,
nor
return
to
him
;
but
are
a
gainsaying
people
,
and
will
not
return
unto
him
from
whom
you
are
fallen
;
but
hate
the
Light
which
Christ
has
lightened
you
withal
,
neither
will
have
Christ
to
reign
over
you
,
but
crucifie
the
Life
,
as
the
Iews
did
.
And
as
the
Sacrifices
,
and
Oblations
,
the
Sabboth-keeping
of
the
Iews
,
and
all
the
Works
of
Righteousness
,
were
an
Abomination
to
the
Lord
,
after
they
were
departed
from
him
;
even
the
very
practice
of
those
things
,
which
God
had
once
commanded
them
to
perform
,
became
a
Burden
to
the
Lord
,
and
his
Soul
could
not
away
with
them
;
even
their
New
Moons
and
Sabboths
his
Soul
hated
,
Isa.

and
all
their
Sacrifices
were
,
as
if
they
cut
off
a
Dogs
Neck
;
and
their
Oblations
,
as
if
they
offer'd
Swine's-blood
;
and
their
burning
Incense
,
as
if
they
blessed
an
Idol
,
Isa.
66.
I
say
,
The
very
Practice
of
the
Iews
,
after
they
were
revolted
,
and
become
disobedient
Children
in
those
very
things
which
God
had
commanded
them
to
do
and
practice
,
and
which
once
the
Lord
accepted
the
doing
of
by
his
People
;
yet
after
they
were
turned
aside
from
the
leading
of
his
Spirit
,
the
practice
of
the
very
same
Works
were
hateful
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
;
when
they
performed
Works
of
Righteousness
to
him
,
and
yet
their
Hearts
went
after
their
Covetousness
,
and
their
practizing
of
that
which
God
had
once
commanded
to
be
done
,
their
doing
of
it
was
Idolatry
,
and
was
a
Burden
to
the
Lord's
Soul
;
and
their
Righteousness
,
and
all
their
Practices
therein
,
were
as
filthy
Rags
,
even
loathsom
in
his
Presence
,
when
their
Fear
towards
him
was
taught
them
by
the
precepts
of
men
,
and
they
had
lost
that
pure
Fear
,
which
〈◊〉
was
taught
them
of
God
;
but
they
were
gone
from
his
Fear
,
which
should
have
kept
their
Hearts
clean
;
and
their
Hears
were
defiled
and
poluted
,
and
therefore
not
any
of
their
Performances
to
him
could
be
accepted
,
but
were
altogether
become
an
Abomination
.
And
even
thus
is
it
at
this
day
,
as
concerning
the
Sacrifices
and
Performances
of
Christians
;
being
(
as
I
have
said
,
and
made
manifest
)
departed
from
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
Spirt
of
Christ
:
All
their
Prayings
,
and
Preachings
,
and
Singings
,
their
Baptisms
,
and
Breaking
of
Bread
,
and
even
all
that
which
you
perform
as
unto
God
,
as
the
Worship
of
him
,
is
not
accepted
,
but
Abomination
unto
him
;
and
his
Soul
is
burdened
with
all
these
things
,
you
not
being
led
with
the
Spirit
of
Christ
:
And
even
your
practizing
of
these
things
,
which
the
Saints
and
Christians
once
practiced
,
and
were
accepted
of
the
Lord
in
so
doing
,
while
they
were
led
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
I
say
,
The
very
practice
of
those
things
now
by
the
Christians
,
being
degenerated
,
is
become
Idolatry
,
and
Abomination
to
the
Lord
.
And
this
I
declare
in
the
Fear
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
Even
all
your
Praying
,
and
Preachings
,
and
Profession
,
all
your
Sabboth-keeping
,
and
Set-dayes
of
Humiliation
,
and
even
all
your
Practices
of
Religion
,
which
you
do
and
perform
,
are
Idolatry
,
and
a
Burden
to
the
Lord's
Soul
,
in
the
state
that
now
you
stand
,
not
being
led
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
being
from
it
departed
;
and
your
works
not
brought
forth
by
it
,
but
by
another
spirit
.
And
now
saith
the
Lord
unto
you
Christians
(
who
are
degenerated
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
)
To
what
purpose
is
your
Preaching
,
Praying
and
Singing
?
They
are
a
Vexation
and
Burden
to
the
Righteous
Soul
,
and
the
Lord
hath
no
delight
therein
;
away
with
it
,
away
with
it
:
Your
Profession
and
Practices
stincks
in
the
Nostrils
of
the
Lord
:
All
your
Baptisms
and
your
Sacraments
,
which
ye
perform
in
a
vain
Tradition
▪
and
not
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
they
are
hateful
in
his
sight
;
away
with
them
,
away
with
them
;
they
shall
crumble
to
the
dust
,
and
immediate
Desolation
in
one
day
;
the
Lord
will
break
them
down
,
and
never
build
them
up
again
.
Your
Preaching
by
a
Glass
,
for
so
much
a
Sermon
,
or
so
much
a
Year
,
what
you
have
gathered
out
of
Books
▪
and
studied
for
from
other
mens
words
;
town
with
it
,
down
with
it
;
it
is
〈◊〉
Abomination
to
the
Lord
.
And
your
Ministry
,
which
is
made
and
sent
forth
at
Schools
;
and
〈◊〉
natural
Learning
,
through
the
attainment
of
such
Arts
and
Sciences
,
and
being
approved
of
such
and
such
men
,
and
sent
forth
to
such
and
such
a
Par●…
〈◊〉
have
so
much
Money
by
the
Year
for
preaching
what
hath
been
studied
fo●…
and
not
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
away
with
this
Ministry
,
away
with
it
;
it
s
a
mocking
of
God
,
and
a
deceiving
of
Souls
;
the
Lord
will
confound
it
,
and
bring
it
to
Destruction
.
And
your
singing
of
the
Saints
words
in
Rhyme
and
Meeter
,
and
their
Conditions
,
which
your selves
never
knew
;
this
is
Abomination
to
the
Lord
,
and
a
Practice
which
his
Soul
hater
;
away
with
it
,
the
Lord
is
risen
to
confound
it
.
Away
with
all
your
Worship
,
which
is
not
in
the
Spirit
,
nor
in
the
Truth
;
but
in
vain
Traditions
of
〈◊〉
,
practiced
by
you
in
a
vain
Form
,
and
not
the
Power
of
God
:
The
Lord
will
being
it
down
to
the
ground
,
&
restore
and
establish
his
own
Worship
,
which
〈◊〉
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
;
and
he
will
give
,
and
hath
given
his
Ministry
again
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
which
hath
been
lost
for
many
Ages
,
while
this
Night
of
Apostacy
hath
over-spread
the
World
;
and
the
Lord
shall
〈◊〉
longer
be
worshipped
in
vain
Traditions
of
men
,
but
his
people
shall
be
re●●red
and
renewed
,
to
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
and
the
Christian●ife
●ife
shall
again
be
brought
forth
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Christ
shall
be
the
Leader
and
Teacher
of
his
People
:
And
now
the
Day
of
the
Lord's
Visitation
is
again
revived
,
for
togather
his
People
,
and
to
restore
them
again
to
his
perfect
Way
and
Worship
.
Therefore
hearken
,
and
behold
,
ye
Christians
,
this
is
the
Testimony
of
the
Lord
●…erning
you
;
You
have
been
fallen
and
degenerated
from
the
Life
of
Righteousness
,
and
from
the
true
Way
and
Worship
of
the
true
God
;
and
you
have
long
been
slumbring
and
sleeping
in
this
long
Night
of
Darkness
,
which
overshadow'd
you
,
and
darkned
that
glorious
Appearance
of
the
〈◊〉
of
God
▪
which
once
shined
upon
the
Christians
;
and
in
Blindness
and
D●…
have
〈◊〉
walked
for
many
Ages
,
and
your
Worship
hath
been
subscribed
;
To
the
Unknown
God
;
and
wofully
have
you
been
wallowing
in
unclean
Paths
;
and
you
have
erred
,
you
have
erred
from
the
Life
of
Christ
,
and
from
his
Spirit
;
and
you
are
gone
from
your
Husband
,
and
follow'd
other
Lovers
;
and
you
have
been
●…ed
in
Iniquity
,
and
altogether
poluted
by
Transgtession
;
and
the
state
in
which
you
now
stand
,
is
a
state
seperated
from
God
,
a
state
of
great
Ignora●…
and
Darkness
,
and
a
state
of
hainous
Rebellion
against
God
,
whose
Soul
and
Spirit
is
greatly
oppressed
and
grieved
because
of
your
Degeneration
,
who
〈◊〉
become
more
ignorant
of
God
,
then
the
Ox
is
of
his
Owner
,
o●
the
Ass
of
his
Master's
Crib
;
and
even
the
very
same
Vision
is
seen
concerning
you
,
as
the
Prophet
saw
concerning
Israel
.
Therefore
hear
oh
Heavens
,
and
give
ear
oh
Earth
;
for
the
Lord
doth
speak
unto
you
Christians
:
I
have
nourished
and
brought
up
Children
,
and
they
have
rebell'd
against
me
;
and
the
Ox
knows
his
Owner
,
and
the
Ass
his
Master's
Crib
,
but
the
Christians
do
not
know
,
the
People
do
not
consider
.
Ah!
sinful
Nation
,
a
people
laden
with
Iniquity
,
a
seed
of
Evil-doers
,
Children
that
are
corrupted
,
that
have
forsaken
the
right
Way
,
and
provoke
the
Living
God
to
Anger
,
and
ye
are
gone
away
backward
;
the
whole
Head
is
sick
,
the
whole
Heart
is
faint
,
and
from
the
sole
of
the
Foot
,
even
unto
the
Head
there
is
no
Soundness
;
but
your
Conditions
are
Wounds
,
and
Bruises
,
and
●…fying
Sores
;
you
are
not
closed
,
neither
bound
up
,
neither
mollified
with
Oy●…ent
;
and
your
Country
is
desolate
;
and
your
Cities
are
burnt
as
with
Fire
▪
your
Land
Strangers
devour
it
in
your
presence
;
and
it
is
desolate
,
and
overthrown
by
Strangers
:
and
but
that
the
Lord
of
Hosts
has
left
us
a
soul
Remnant
,
even
a
Seed
,
ye
Christians
would
have
been
as
Sodom
;
if
any
man
hath
an
Ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
:
This
Vision
is
as
true
unto
you
Christians
,
throughout
all
the
World
,
as
ever
it
was
unto
the
seed
of
the
Iews
:
This
is
your
state
,
and
this
is
your
condition
,
and
thus
ye
stand
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
though
in
your
beginning
(
in
the
beginning
of
Christianity
I
mean
)
the
Lord
brought
up
the
Christians
,
and
nourished
them
by
his
Living
Word
,
and
with
his
Word
he
cherished
them
,
and
they
grew
unto
a
goodly
state
,
and
were
●…pleat
in
Christ
,
Col.
2.
10.
And
they
were
come
to
the
〈◊〉
of
●…st
Men
made
perfect
;
and
unto
Mount
Sion
,
the
〈◊〉
of
the
Living
God
,
the
H●…ly
Jerusalem
,
and
to
an
innumerable
Company
of
Angels
,
to
the
general
Assembly
and
Church
of
the
First-Born
,
which
are
written
in
Heaven
;
and
to
God
,
the
Iudge
of
all
,
Hebrews
12
,
22
,
23
,
24.
TO
this
state
were
the
Christians
nourished
and
brought
up
,
in
the
dayes
when
they
were
first
brought
forth
,
when
they
were
begotten
and
born
again
of
the
immortal
Word
,
that
abides
forever
;
and
they
were
sanctified
,
and
purified
,
and
made
clean
;
unto
this
were
they
nourished
,
and
brought
up
out
of
Darkness
,
and
from
under
the
shaddow
of
Death
.
But
notwithstanding
this
,
the
Christians
now
have
rebell'd
against
the
Lord
,
and
do
rebel
against
him
:
And
though
the
Lord
hath
been
unto
them
as
an
Owner
to
the
Ox
,
and
as
a
Crib
to
the
Ass
;
even
as
thus
hath
the
Lord
been
unto
the
Christians
,
yet
they
know
it
not
,
neither
do
the
Christians
consider
;
but
are
indeed
grown
sinful
,
and
laden
with
Iniquity
;
and
the
feed
of
Evil-doers
brings
sorth
its
fruit
through
Christians
,
being
become
children
that
are
Corrupters
,
having
forsaken
the
Lord
,
and
his
Way
,
which
was
made
mantfest
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
the
Lord
is
greatly
provoked
;
for
the
Christians
are
gone
backward
,
from
what
they
were
in
their
beginning
,
as
I
have
fully
made
manifest
:
And
this
Vision
of
the
Lord
is
unto
you
,
all
ye
Christians
,
even
as
a
〈◊〉
that
is
of
the
most
precious
Seed
,
and
the
most
noble
Vine
that
is
planted
in
a
good
S●…●…at
is
digged
,
and
dressed
,
and
grown
to
a
goodly
stature
,
and
bringing
●…th
some
acceptable
Fruit
unto
the
good
Husbandman
,
for
a
season
;
yet
this
Tree
becomes
blasted
by
an
unwholesome
Air
,
and
becomes
degenerate
from
its
vertue
,
and
property
and
nature
;
and
becomes
a
wild
Vine
,
and
a
Pla●…
of
great
Disgrace
,
ceasing
to
bring
forth
any
good
Fruit
,
and
becomes
fruitful
i●
all
evil
,
and
the
Labour
of
the
good
Husbandman
is
lost
;
for
,
while
he
loo●
for
good
Fruit
,
nothing
appears
,
but
Fruit
of
an
evil
Taste
,
which
is
altogether
loathsome
unto
the
good
Husbandman
.
This
Parable
is
unto
you
Christians
,
and
this
is
your
state
and
your
condition
;
Therefore
behold
,
What
shall
the
Lord
do
unto
this
Tree
?
Shall
he
nor
cut
it
down
to
the
ground
,
and
call
it
into
the
purging
Fire
?
Shall
he
not
lay
his
Ax
to
the
Root
,
and
cause
all
its
Branches
utterly
to
wither
,
and
cause
it
to
cease
in
beeing
,
even
as
it
hath
ceased
in
bringing
forth
Fruit
?
Shall
not
the
go●…
Husbandman
destroy
this
〈◊〉
,
with
all
its
corrupt
fruit
?
And
shall
not
his
own
Hand
accomplish
the
Purpose
of
his
own
Heart
?
This
Tree
shall
be
Fuel
for
this
Fire
of
his
Anger
;
he
will
pluck
it
up
,
and
not
plant
it
again
,
because
it
is
degenerated
.
Give
ear
,
all
ye
Christians
,
to
the
Testimony
which
is
concerning
you
,
You
are
fallen
,
you
are
fallen
;
and
being
compared
to
what
the
Christians
were
,
you
are
in
〈◊〉
equal
,
but
are
diverted
in
all
your
Practices
,
from
that
Spirit
which
led
the
Apostles
〈◊〉
Christian
Churches
;
and
your
works
shew
another
Spirit
,
then
the
Spirit
of
Iesus
▪
Wherefore
great
is
your
Fall
,
and
to
be
lamented
;
and
though
you
have
the
name
of
Christians
,
yet
you
want
the
Life
.
An
Objection
.
But
whereas
it
may
be
objected
by
some
,
and
said
,
Seeing
the
State
of
Christianity
is
thus
descovered
,
what
it
was
in
its
beginning
and
purity
,
and
what
it
now
is
in
its
degeneration
;
and
seeing
the
present
State
of
Christians
is
thus
condemned
,
what
do
I
believe
concerning
the
state
of
Christianity
to
come
?
What
shall
succeed
this
present
Degeneration
?
And
may
it
be
expected
,
that
ever
Christianity
shall
be
restor'd
to
that
state
of
Purity
,
as
it
was
in
its
beginning
?
And
whether
may
people
expect
to
come
into
the
same
Life
again
,
and
to
know
the
same
power
,
and
Worship
and
Unity
,
which
was
amongst
the
Apostles
and
first
Christian
Churches
?
And
whether
do
I
judge
,
that
ever
the
Ministry
can
again
be
receiv'd
by
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
only
,
without
natural
Learning
and
Languages
?
And
whether
the
same
Spirit
is
to
be
waited
for
,
and
receiv'd
?
And
whether
the
same
Anointing
can
be
known
in
this
Age
,
or
any
Age
to
come
,
as
it
was
in
and
among
the
Apostles
and
Christians
,
before
the
Apostacy
and
Degeneration
.
Answ.
To
all
this
I
answer
,
and
do
say
,
That
the
present
state
of
Christianity
is
woful
,
and
to
be
condemned
of
the
Lord
,
as
being
degenerated
from
his
Life
,
Power
and
Spirit
;
whereby
all
hearts
are
darkened
,
and
all
minds
estranged
from
the
Covenant
of
Life
and
Peace
,
and
from
the
sence
and
feeling
of
the
Life
of
God
:
and
now
in
all
the
Wayes
,
and
Worships
,
and
Practices
of
Christians
,
they
are
fallen
and
degenerated
from
that
Life
in
which
the
Christians
once
were
;
and
the
Beast
hath
raigned
over
all
for
many
Ages
;
and
because
of
his
Power
,
and
Greatness
and
Dominion
,
who
hath
been
able
to
make
war
with
him
?
he
hath
killed
the
Saints
,
and
hath
subjected
all
Nations
under
his
power
;
and
every
Nation
hath
received
the
Mark
of
the
Beast
,
and
born
his
Image
for
Generations
;
and
all
Flesh
hath
stagger'd
,
and
hath
been
made
drunk
with
the
cup
of
Fornication
,
that
hath
been
in
the
hand
of
the
Whore
,
who
hath
sate
upon
this
Beast
,
who
hath
caused
both
small
and
great
to
worship
him
;
and
all
that
would
not
,
he
hath
had
power
to
kill
them
.
And
this
Government
hath
ruled
over
the
whole
Christendom
,
and
the
Worship
practiced
hath
been
but
the
Worship
of
the
Beast
,
while
people
have
been
err'd
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
not
guided
by
it
only
:
And
people
have
been
compelled
to
Worship
by
Laws
of
Men
;
they
have
been
compelled
to
sprinkle
their
Infant
,
;
and
they
have
been
compelled
to
go
to
Steeple-houses
;
and
compelled
to
keep
a
Sabboth
;
and
compelled
to
hire
Priests
,
and
to
pay
them
Wages
against
their
wills
;
And
all
this
compelling
by
an
outward
Power
hath
not
been
the
Worship
of
God
,
but
savour'd
altogether
of
the
Worship
of
the
Beast
;
for
you
may
read

how
the
Beast
caused
all
,
both
Small
and
Great
,
to
worship
him
;
and
all
that
would
not
worship
him
by
his
power
,
he
hath
had
power
to
kill
them
.
And
all
compelling
,
and
causing
to
worship
by
an
outward
Power
,
is
the
worship
of
the
Beast
,
for
Christ
,
nor
his
Apostles
,
never
caused
any
to
worship
God
by
an
outward
power
:
For
while
Christianity
kept
its
Purity
and
Authority
,
they
begot
People
to
God
,
and
to
worship
him
,
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
by
the
power
of
the
Spirit
;
and
they
did
not
bring
any
into
their
Sect
,
nor
to
worship
with
them
,
by
an
outward
Law
and
Authority
;
for
that
is
in
the
Government
of
the
Beast
;
it
was
he
that
first
caused
both
small
and
great
to
conform
to
his
worship
,
and
it
is
his
power
that
upholds
it
,
and
maintains
it
unto
this
day
.
But
now
the
Seed
of
God
is
arising
,
which
is
able
to
make
war
with
the
Beast
and
his
Kingdom
,
and
his
Worship
shall
be
thrown
down
to
the
ground
;
and
all
this
causing
and
compelling
to
Worship
;
causing
to
keep
a
Day
;
and
causing
to
hire
Teachers
,
to
maintain
them
;
and
this
causing
to
go
to
Steeple-houses
,
and
to
maintain
them
;
and
all
this
causing
to
pay
Tythes
;
it
shall
fall
to
the
ground
,
and
be
beat
down
by
the
Seed
of
God
,
which
is
arising
,
and
they
shall
be
no
more
found
among
true
Christians
;
nor
the
Beast
shall
not
be
worshipped
,
nor
his
Authority
any
more
of
force
;
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
hath
now
appeared
,
and
the
Light
is
sprung
forth
,
which
hath
made
all
things
manifest
,
and
now
the
difference
is
known
,
between
the
worship
of
the
Beast
,
and
the
worship
of
the
true
God
.
And
concerning
the
state
of
Christianity
to
come
,
this
I
know
and
believe
,
a
glorious
Restoration
thereof
shall
appear
throughout
the
whole
Christendom
,
and
Christianity
shall
again
be
restored
to
its
former
purity
;
and
Christians
shall
,
and
may
receive
the
same
Spirit
from
which
the
Christians
have
been
degenerated
;
and
the
same
Life
,
the
same
Power
,
and
the
same
Worship
,
and
Unity
shall
be
revived
amongst
Christians
in
the
Restoration
;
even
the
same
that
was
in
the
beginning
before
the
Apostacy
;
and
the
Glory
of
God
shall
again
appear
among
his
people
,
and
they
shall
again
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
only
,
as
they
did
before
the
Apostacy
;
and
all
this
traditional
worship
,
and
false
imitations
which
hath
been
set
up
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
shall
be
overthrown
and
confounded
;
the
Lord
is
risen
,
and
will
dash
down
,
and
overthrow
all
this
Idolatry
now
practized
amongst
Christians
:
And
a
great
shaking
and
confounding
shall
suddenly
come
among
Christians
;
for
the
Lord
will
break
down
that
which
hath
been
builded
,
because
it
is
polluted
;
and
he
will
pluck
up
that
which
hath
been
planted
,
because
it
is
defiled
;
and
a
mighty
work
will
the
Lord
work
in
the
Earth
,
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
will
he
change
into
the
Kingdoms
of
Christ
,
and
Christ
shall
reign
in
and
among
his
People
;
and
his
Spirit
shall
be
the
Teacher
and
Leader
of
his
People
;
and
all
false
Teachers
will
the
Lord
confound
and
consume
;
all
these
Hirelings
who
go
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
all
this
manner
of
Preaching
and
Teaching
,
which
are
come
up
since
the
Apostles
dayes
;
all
this
Preaching
which
they
study
for
,
and
by
a
Glass
,
and
for
so
much
Money
a
year
,
all
this
shall
be
tumbled
down
into
the
Pit
:
God's
Vengeance
shall
come
upon
it
all
,
and
the
Anointing
shall
be
received
,
and
it
shall
dwell
in
People
,
as
it
did
in
the
Apostles
;
and
the
people
shall
need
no
other
Teacher
,
but
as
that
Anointing
teacheth
all
things
;
and
for
this
Spirit
and
Anointing
all
that
fear
God
may
wait
to
receive
it
in
this
present
Age
;
which
Spirit
brings
into
the
same
Unity
and
Life
,
into
the
same
Worship
and
Fellowship
that
was
amongst
Christians
in
the
beginning
,
before
the
Apostacy
;
and
this
State
may
Christians
be
restored
to
;
and
for
this
State
all
that
fear
God
,
and
love
him
,
are
to
wait
;
for
this
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
World
.
And
as
concerning
the
Ministry
,
I
know
,
and
do
believe
it
may
be
,
and
is
received
again
,
as
the
Apostles
and
Christian
Ministers
first
received
it
,
to
wit
,
by
the
eternal
Spirit
and
Gift
thereof
,
through
the
Revelation
of
Christ
Jesus
in
them
:
and
such
may
and
do
preach
the
Gospel
freely
,
as
they
do
receive
is
freely
,
and
without
natural
Learning
and
Languages
.
For
by
that
can
none
be
made
Ministers
of
Christ
,
nor
by
any
thing
without
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
;
and
Christ's
Ministry
shall
again
be
received
thereby
;
this
I
believe
:
and
all
this
Ministry
made
,
and
sent
forth
by
natural
Learning
,
and
without
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
the
Lord
will
confound
it
in
this
Age
;
for
this
is
come
up
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
to
make
Ministers
by
natural
Learning
,
and
it
stands
in
the
Apostacy
,
from
the
Life
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
its
call
,
and
work
,
and
maintenance
savours
not
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
the
Lord
will
bring
it
down
,
and
the
Gift
of
his
Ministry
,
will
he
restore
by
his
Spirit
;
and
this
is
,
and
shall
come
to
pass
,
and
it
may
be
waited
for
in
this
present
Age
;
and
the
Lord
will
restore
his
Ministry
,
as
in
the
beginning
,
and
his
work
shall
be
glorious
;
for
many
there
are
,
is
,
and
shall
be
converted
to
God
,
and
brought
out
of
the
degeneration
,
and
to
that
shall
people
come
which
all
Christendom
hath
been
apostatized
from
,
and
shall
receive
the
same
Spirit
,
and
the
same
Anointing
which
was
amongst
the
Christian
Churches
;
and
life
and
immortality
shall
again
be
brought
to
light
through
the
Gospel
,
which
hath
been
hid
for
Ages
while
darkness
hath
been
over
the
minds
of
people
.
And
I
say
and
testifie
before
all
the
World
,
That
Christianity
shall
be
restored
to
its
former
state
;
Life
shall
spring
forth
;
and
Truth
shall
be
encreased
;
and
Faith
shall
wax
strong
,
even
the
same
Faith
that
the
Apostles
had
,
which
gave
them
Victory
over
all
the
World
,
which
shall
again
give
People
the
same
Victory
;
and
this
shall
be
known
in
the
Earth
.
For
the
Marriage
of
the
Lamb
shall
come
,
and
all
his
People
shall
be
joyn'd
unto
him
;
and
there
shall
be
one
Way
,
and
one
Worship
,
and
one
Teacher
;
and
every
one
shall
sit
under
Christ's
Vine
,
and
none
shall
make
afraid
:
Yea
,
and
more
then
a
Vine
shall
he
be
known
,
and
more
then
a
Door
,
and
more
then
a
Shepherd
shall
he
be
known
to
be
to
his
People
,
and
greater
then
a
Rock
shall
he
be
witnessed
to
be
,
and
more
then
a
Teacher
in
the
Wilderness
:
If
any
man
have
an
Ear
to
hear
,
let
him
〈◊〉
;
more
and
greater
is
he
becoming
to
his
People
,
then
is
lawful
yet
to
utter
:
Eye
hath
not
seen
,
nor
it
hath
not
entred
into
the
Heart
of
man
;
but
it
is
revealed
to
us
by
his
Spirit
.
The
joyful
Day
is
approaching
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
is
making
her self
ready
;
the
Wedding
Garment
is
putting
on
,
and
all
that
which
is
polluted
is
to
be
done
away
:
And
Blessed
is
he
that
cometh
to
the
Marriage
of
the
Lamb
,
that
he
may
become
one
Spirit
with
the
Creat●r
.
Here
is
Glory
and
Rejoycing
forever
,
when
this
is
known
,
That
the
Wife
hath
not
power
over
her
own
Body
,
but
the
Husband
;
nor
hath
the
Husband
power
over
his
own
Body
,
but
the
Wife
:
Where
this
is
known
,
Death
is
swallowed
up
of
Life
,
and
Sin
is
overcome
of
Righteousness
,
and
the
Inheritance
of
Life
Eternal
comes
to
be
possessed
,
and
Death
and
Hell
is
cast
into
the
Lake
,
and
he
which
hath
deceived
can
deceive
no
more
;
And
blessed
is
the
Eye
that
sees
this
,
and
the
Heart
that
understandeth
.
Wherefore
all
ye
Christians
upon
Earth
,
Awake
,
awake
,
and
put
away
your
Whoredoms
,
cast
off
your
Idolatries
,
and
strip
you
,
and
make
you
clean
of
all
your
Adulteries
;
drink
no
longer
of
the
Cup
of
Fornication
,
nor
eat
no
longer
of
the
Abominable
Flesh
,
nor
wear
no
longer
your
Garments
of
Unrighteousness
;
but
strip
ye
,
strip
ye
,
make
ye
bare
;
all
your
old
Garments
must
be
put
off
,
before
you
can
appear
before
the
Lord
.
A
great
Work
will
the
Lord
work
amongst
you
;
he
will
shake
and
overthrow
all
your
Altars
.
Images
and
Idols
,
which
you
have
set
up
and
worshipped
;
The
Lord
hath
uttered
his
Voice
;
the
Beast
that
hath
many
Heads
and
many
Horns
shall
tremble
;
and
one
Head
,
and
one
Horn
only
shall
be
exalted
,
and
the
Government
shall
be
set
up
,
of
whose
encrease
there
shall
be
no
end
;
and
people
shall
be
brought
into
that
,
and
they
shall
go
forth
no
more
;
for
who
come
to
this
,
Time
is
no
longer
,
and
the
Kingdom
and
Government
is
delivered
to
the
Father
,
and
he
is
become
all
in
all
.
And
all
that
ever
come
to
know
these
things
,
must
first
come
to
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
in
them
,
with
which
every
man
is
lightned
that
cometh
into
the
World
:
And
all
that
ever
know
these
things
,
must
first
be
brought
to
the
Principle
of
God
in
them
,
which
they
have
transgressed
against
.
And
all
that
own
the
Light
of
Christ
,
and
walk
in
it
,
shall
come
to
know
these
things
,
which
to
know
,
and
be
in
them
,
is
eternal
Life
.
Therefore
all
ye
Christians
,
come
to
the
Light
which
Christ
hath
lightned
you
withal
,
and
that
will
let
you
see
the
Government
of
Satan
,
and
of
sin
and
death
,
which
has
been
ruling
in
you
;
and
the
Light
will
teach
you
to
war
against
it
,
till
it
be
subdued
;
the
Light
will
discover
unto
you
that
nature
,
in
which
the
kingdom
of
Satan
bears
rule
;
it
will
let
you
see
the
Devil
,
who
is
the
Prince
of
darkness
,
who
is
the
Adversary
of
God
,
who
is
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
he
has
drawn
all
people
out
of
the
Truth
;
but
if
you
love
the
Light
of
Christ
in
you
,
it
will
teach
you
to
war
against
him
,
and
against
all
that
that
is
out
of
the
Truth
;
for
all
that
is
of
Satans
Kingdom
,
that
is
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
must
be
destroy'd
by
the
coming
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
;
whose
coming
is
in
the
Light
,
which
Christ
hath
enlightned
every
man
withal
;
who
comes
to
destroy
the
Devil
,
and
his
kingdom
,
and
all
his
works
:
So
to
the
Light
must
all
minds
be
turned
,
which
will
reveal
the
kingdom
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
and
consume
it
:
The
Appearance
of
Christ
is
Light
;
and
Christ
is
the
Light
of
Israel
,
which
is
as
a
Fire
,
to
consume
all
fruitless
Trees
,
which
cumber
the
ground
,
which
the
Lord
will
consume
by
the
brightness
of
his
coming
.
And
now
is
the
Man
of
Sin
reveal'd
,
even
in
the
hearts
of
Christians
,
so
call'd
;
and
he
hath
long
shew'd
himself
to
be
God
;
but
now
the
Lord
will
bring
him
down
:
For
,
Antichrist
has
rul'd
for
many
Ages
,
and
the
Lord
of
Life
has
been
crucified
in
spiritual
Sodom
;
but
Sodom
shall
be
consumed
by
Fire
;
and
the
Lord
will
avenge
himself
of
all
his
Enemies
;
and
all
People
and
Nations
shal
know
,
that
there
is
a
God
,
who
executes
Justice
and
true
Judgment
,
who
is
a
God
near
at
hand
,
to
reward
his
People
with
Everlasting
Life
;
and
to
give
unto
his
Enemies
,
Judgment
and
Condemnation
.

unto
this

by

Power
;
and
whatsoever
he
willeth
in
Heaven
and
Earth
▪
he
●●ings
to
pass
by
his
Word
and
Power
.
And
we
believe
,
That
this
God
only
is
,
and
ought
to
be
feared
,
loved
,
obeyed
and
worshipned
by
all
Creatures
;
and
no
other
thing
besides
〈◊〉
in
Heaven
and
Earth
.
A●…
we
believe
,
That
his
Worship
,
and
Obedience
,
and
Fear
and
Love
is
to
be
given
in
Spirit
,
even
in
what
his
own
Spirit
moveth
and
leadeth
his
People
unto
.
And
we
believe
,
His
true
Worship
,
required
and
accepted
of
him
,
〈◊〉
not
by
the
Tradition
of
men
,
in
outward
Observances
,
or
Set-dayes
,
o●
Places
;
but
he
is
worshipped
only
in
Spirit
●…d
Tr●th
,
without
respect
of
Time
,
●…ces
or
things
;
and
that
none
can
worship
●●m
in
Righteousness
,
but
his
●…n
,
who
are
born
of
his
Spirit
,
and
are
led
and
guided
thereby
.
And
we
believe
,
That
this
God
hath
given
his
Son
Christ
J●…
〈◊〉
●●e
World
,
a
free
Gift
unto
the
whole
World
;
and
that
every
〈◊〉
that
co●…eth
into
the
World
is
lighted
by
him
,
that
every
man
mi●…
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
sayed
.
And
we
believe
.
That
he
is
given
into
the
World
,
and
no
Nation
▪
〈◊〉
or
P●ople
excepted
;
but
unto
all
Mankind
is
he
given
of
God
,
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
them
,
and
every
man
through
the
World
,
that
believeth
in
him
,
and
receiveth
Christ
,
who
is
the
Wisdom
and
Power
of
the
Father
,
shall
be
saved
with
eternal'
Salvation
;
and
every
one
that
believeth
not
in
him
,
shall
be
damned
,
and
shall
possess
everlasting
Misery
.
And
we
believe
,
That
Salvation
,
Iustification
,
and
Sanctification
,
are
only
in
him
,
and
wrought
by
him
,
and
no
other
:
for
there
is
no
other
Name
given
under
Heaven
,
but
h●m
alone
,
by
which
Salvation
is
.
And
we
believe
,
All
that
receive
him
,
and
believe
in
him
,
are
recon●…d
to
God
,
and
are
made
alive
to
God
,
to
live
to
him
in
all
things
,
an●
do
receive
the
Forgiveness
of
Sins
,
and
are
set
free
from
all
Unrighteousness
,
and
from
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
,
and
have
the
Witness
of
the
Spirit
in
them
;
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
they
,
have
received
,
and
it
witnesseth
in
them
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
things
that
belong
unto
their
Peace
;
and
it
is
the
Earnest
of
the
Inheritance
,
and
the
Seal
of
the
Promise
of
Eternal
Life
,
and
by
it
are
the
deep
things
of
God
revealed
to
Mankind
,
and
by
it
the
Father
and
the
Son
dwells
in
the
Saints
,
and
by
it
have
they
Fellowship
one
with
mother
;
and
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
Spirit
are
one
.
And
this
we
faithfully
believe
.
Again
,
concerning
Christ
,
we
believe
,
.
That
he
is
one
with
the
Father
,
and
was
with
him
before
the
World
was
;
and
what
the
Father
worketh
〈◊〉
is
by
the
Son
;
for
he
is
the
Arm
of
God's
Salv●…ion
,
and
the
very
Power
and
Wisdom
of
the
Creator
;
and
was
,
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
without
Beginning
or
End
.
And
we
believe
,
That
all
the
Prophets
gave
Testimony
of
him
,
and
that
he
was
made
manifest
in
Iudea
and
Ierusalem
,
and
did
the
Work
of
the
Father
,
and
was
persecuted
of
the
Iews
,
and
was
crucified
by
his
Enemies
;
and
that
he
was
buried
,
and
rose
again
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
And
we
believe
,
He
is
now
ascended
on
High
,
and
exalted
at
the
Right-hand
of
the
Father
for
evermore
;
and
that
he
is
glorified
with
the
same
Glory
,
that
the
had
before
the
World
was
;
and
that
even
the
same
that
came
down
fro●…
Heaven
,
is
ascended
up
to
Heaven
;
and
the
same
that
descended
is
he
that
ascended
.
And
we
believe
,
Even
that
he
that
was
dead
is
alive
;
and
lives
for
evermore
;
and
that
he
cometh
,
and
shall
come
again
,
to
judge
the
whole
World
wi●●
Righteousness
,
and
all
people
with
Equity
,
and
shall
give
to
every
man
according
to
his
deeds
,
at
the
Day
of
Judgment
when
all
shall
arise
to
Condemnation
〈◊〉
Iustification
;
he
that
hath
done
good
shall
receive
Life
,
and
he
that
hath
done
evil
everlasting
Condemnation
.
And
we
believe
,
He
is
to
be
waited
for
in
Spirit
,
to
be
known
after
the
Spirit
,
as
he
was
before
the
World
was
;
and
that
is
the
Knowledge
unto
eternal
Life
,
which
all
that
believe
in
him
do
receive
;
and
he
subdues
Death
,
and
destroyes
him
that
hath
the
power
of
it
;
and
restoreth
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
quickeneth
by
his
spirit
all
that
the
Father
hath
given
him
:
and
we
believe
such
he
justifieth
and
sanctifieth
,
and
such
are
taught
of
him
;
but
he
condemns
all
that
believe
not
,
but
continue
in
unbelief
,
and
are
not
taught
or
him
.
And
this
we
faithfully
believe
.
And
we
believe
,
That
unto
all
people
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
is
a
Time
and
Day
of
Visitation
given
,
that
they
may
return
and
be
saved
by
Christ
Jesus
,
who
is
givn
of
the
Father
to
call
the
worst
of
men
to
Repentance
;
and
the
most
ungodly
of
Sinners
are
convinced
by
him
of
their
ungodly
deeds
,
that
they
might
believe
,
and
be
converted
and
saved
.
And
we
believe
,
Herein
is
the
Love
of
God
manifested
to
all
Mankind
;
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
are
shut
out
by
him
before
they
were
born
into
the
World
;
but
unto
all
men
is
a
V●…ation
given
,
and
they
that
do
perish
it
is
because
they
do
not
believe
in
Christ
;
and
destruction
is
of
a
mans
self
,
but
Salvation
is
of
God
,
through
believing
in
his
Son
,
who
takes
away
sin
,
and
reneweth
into
his
own
Image
,
that
they
may
become
Heirs
with
him
.
And
we
believe
that
there
is
a
Crown
of
Eternal
Glory
,
and
an
Inheritance
of
Eternal
Life
to
be
injoyed
for
evermore
by
all
that
believe
,
and
are
chosen
of
God
;
and
that
there
is
an
everlasting
Misery
and
Destruction
to
be
possessed
by
all
that
believe
not
,
but
continue
in
the
state
of
Reprobation
,
and
are
not
changed
from
the
wayes
of
Sin
and
Death
;
but
walk
after
the
wayes
of
their
own
Hearts
Lusts
,
fulfilling
the
will
of
the
Flesh
,
in
the
Evil
of
this
World
,
and
follow
not
Christ
,
the
Light
of
the
World
,
that
they
may
be
saved
:
And
we
believe
upon
all
such
the
Wrath
of
God
abideth
,
and
that
they
have
no
part
in
the
Inheritance
of
God
.
And
we
believe
,
That
it
is
only
he
that
is
born
again
of
the
Spirit
,
and
that
walks
after
the
Spirit
,
who
is
changed
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
who
is
redeemed
out
of
the
World
,
and
all
its
wayes
;
such
only
must
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
they
only
have
right
thereunto
,
and
none
besides
,
even
they
that
are
washed
and
cleansed
from
all
Unrighteousness
by
the
Blood
of
Jesus
,
by
which
their
sins
are
remitted
;
For
his
Blood
cleanseth
from
all
Unrighteousness
and
Sin
;
yea
,
all
such
that
walk
and
abide
in
the
Light
,
which
Christ
Jesus
hath
lightened
the
World
withal
.
And
we
believe
,
That
the
Saints
upon
Earth
may
receive
forgiveness
of
sins
,
and
may
be
perfectly
freed
from
the
Body
of
sin
and
death
,
and
in
Christ
may
be
perfect
and
without
sin
,
and
may
have
Victory
over
all
Temptations
by
Faith
in
Christ
Jesus
And
we
believe
,
Every
Saint
,
that
is
called
of
God
,
ought
to
press
after
Perfection
,
and
to
overcome
the
Devil
and
all
his
Temptations
upon
Earth
;
and
we
believe
,
they
that
faithfully
wait
for
it
shall
obtain
it
,
and
shall
be
presented
without
sin
in
the
Image
of
the
Father
;
and
such
walk
not
after
the
Flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
,
and
are
in
Covenant
with
God
,
and
their
Sins
are
blotted
out
,
and
remembred
no
more
;
for
they
cease
to
commit
Sin
,
being
born
of
the
Seed
of
God
.
And
we
believe
,
The
Gospel
of
Christ
is
the
Power
of
God
unto
Salvation
,
and
that
it
ought
to
be
preached
freely
unto
all
people
,
and
Christ
to
be
held
forth
unto
all
Mankind
,
by
the
Ministry
sent
of
him
:
And
we
believe
this
Ministry
is
received
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
and
all
they
that
receive
it
,
are
lawfully
call'd
to
the
Ministry
;
and
they
may
preach
the
Gospel
of
Christ
freely
,
as
they
have
receiv'd
it
freely
:
And
this
Ministry
is
not
of
Man
,
but
of
God
,
and
is
made
powerful
to
the
converting
of
Sinners
,
and
to
the
bringing
of
people
to
God
,
and
to
the
Knowledge
of
his
Wayes
.
And
we
do
not
believe
,
That
any
man
is
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
without
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
or
that
the
Gospel
can
be
receiv'd
by
natural
Learning
or
Education
.
And
we
believe
,
Such
as
preach
for
Hire
,
and
have
Hire
for
preaching
,
are
not
the
lawful
called
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
;
such
as
are
Proud
,
and
High-minded
,
and
Covetous
Men
,
who
do
not
profit
the
people
at
all
;
such
as
have
run
,
and
never
were
sent
of
Christ
,
who
calleth
by
his
Spirit
into
the
Work
of
the
Ministry
;
and
as
every
one
hath
received
the
Gift
of
that
,
his
Spirit
,
so
he
may
administer
to
others
.
Concerning
Rulers
and
Governour
,
we
believe
,
That
there
ought
to
be
Rulers
and
Governours
in
every
Nation
,
City
,
Country
and
Town
;
and
they
ought
to
be
such
men
as
fear
God
,
and
hate
every
evil
way
;
who
will
judge
for
God
,
and
not
for
man
;
and
will
judge
righteously
,
equally
and
justly
,
and
will
give
true
and
sound
Judgment
unto
all
men
,
without
Bribery
,
or
Respect
of
Persons
,
not
regarding
the
Rich
above
the
Poor
;
but
being
a
Praise
unto
all
that
do
well
,
and
a
Terror
to
all
Evil-doers
whatsoever
;
having
knowledge
in
the
pure
Law
of
God
,
and
themselves
continnally
exercised
therein
.
And
we
believe
,
That
every
Law
of
man
ought
to
be
grounded
upon
the
Law
of
God
,
pure
Reason
,
and
Equity
being
the
Foundation
thereof
,
that
God's
Witness
in
every
man
may
answer
to
it
:
and
the
Law
ought
to
be
known
unto
all
people
,
before
Trangression
be
charged
or
punished
in
any
man
.
And
we
believe
that
every
Transgression
ought
to
be
punished
according
to
its
nature
;
and
that
the
Punishment
exceed
not
the
greatness
of
the
Transgression
;
neither
ought
any
Transgressor
to
●…ape
unpunished
;
neither
ought
any
upon
false
Suspition
or
Iealousies
,
to
be
caused
to
suffer
,
without
the
Testimony
of
true
men
,
or
the
Confession
of
the
Party
.
And
we
believe
,
that
the
Executors
of
the
Law
ought
to
be
Just
Men
,
and
not
given
to
Pride
,
Drunkenness
,
or
any
other
Evil
whatsoever
;
and
ought
to
be
chosen
every
year
,
or
otherwise
,
by
the
Consent
of
the
people
;
and
that
no
man
be
stopped
of
his
free
choyce
,
except
justly
taxed
.
And
we
believe
,
that
all
Governours
and
Rulers
ought
to
be
accountable
to
the
people
,
and
to
the
next
proceeding
Rulers
,
for
all
their
Actions
,
which
may
be
enquir'd
into
upon
occasion
;
and
that
the
chiefest
of
the
Rulers
be
subject
under
the
Law
,
and
punishable
by
it
,
if
they
be
Transgressors
,
as
well
as
the
poorest
of
the
People
:
And
th●●
true
Judgment
and
Justice
will
be
brought
forth
in
the
Earth
,
and
all
that
do
well
will
have
Praise
,
and
live
in
Rest
and
Peace
;
and
all
Evil-doers
whatsoever
may
stand
in
awe
,
and
be
afraid
of
God
,
and
just
Men
,
and
the
Execution
of
Iust
Laws
.
Concerning
Religion
,
we
believe
,
That
it
is
only
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
that
makes
men
truly
Religious
;
and
that
no
man
ought
to
be
compell'd
to
,
or
from
any
Exercise
or
Practice
in
Religion
,
by
any
outward
Law
or
Power
,
but
every
man
ought
to
be
left
free
,
as
the
Lord
shall
perswade
his
own
mind
,
in
doing
,
or
leaving
undone
this
,
or
the
other
Practice
in
Religion
;
and
every
man
,
of
what
Profession
in
Religion
soever
,
ought
to
be
protected
in
Peace
,
provided
himself
be
a
man
of
Peace
,
not
seeking
the
wrong
of
any
mans
Person
or
Estate
.
And
we
believe
,
That
to
oppose
false
Opinions
,
and
unsound
Doctrines
and
Principles
,
seeking
to
convince
them
that
oppose
themselves
,
by
Exhortation
,
or
sharp
Reproof
,
by
word
or
writing
,
ought
nor
to
be
counted
a
Breach
of
the
Peace
;
or
to
strive
about
the
things
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
by
men
of
contrary
Minds
or
Judgments
,
this
ought
not
to
be
punishable
by
the
Magistrates
and
their
Laws
;
for
we
believe
,
the
outward
Laws
and
Powers
of
the
Earth
are
only
to
preserve
mens
Persons
and
Estates
,
and
not
to
preserve
men
in
Opinions
;
neither
ought
the
Law
of
the
Nation
to
be
laid
upon
mens
Consciences
,
to
bind
them
to
,
or
from
such
a
Judgment
or
Practice
in
Religion
:
And
we
believe
,
that
Christ
is
,
and
ought
only
to
be
Lord
and
Exerciser
of
mens
Consciences
;
and
his
Spirit
only
must
lead
into
all
Truth
.
And
we
believe
,
That
Obedience
and
Subjection
in
the
Lord
belongs
to
Superiors
,
and
that
Subjects
ought
to
obey
in
the
Lord
those
that
have
Rule
over
them
;
and
that
Children
ought
to
obey
their
Parents
,
and
Wives
their
Husbands
,
and
Servants
their
Masters
,
in
all
things
which
are
according
to
God
,
which
stands
in
the
exercise
of
a
pure
Conscience
towards
God
:
But
where
Rulers
,
Parents
,
or
Masters
,
or
any
other
,
command
or
require
subjection
in
any
thing
which
is
contrary
to
God
,
or
not
according
to
him
,
to
such
causes
all
people
are
free
,
and
ought
to
obey
God
rather
then
man
:
and
we
believe
,
That
herein
God
will
justifie
them
,
being
guided
and
led
by
his
Spirit
in
all
that
which
is
Good
,
and
out
of
all
that
which
is
Evil.
Again
,
We
believe
concerning
Election
and
Reprobation
,
That
there
is
a
state
of
Election
,
and
a
state
of
Reprobation
,
a
state
chosen
of
God
,
and
a
state
rejected
of
God
,
and
that
all
Man-kind
are
in
one
of
these
states
;
all
that
are
elected
,
are
elected
in
Christ
;
and
all
that
are
out
of
him
are
in
the
state
Reprobate
,
bringing
forth
fruits
of
Death
and
Darkness
,
being
Children
of
Wrath
and
Disobedience
,
in
the
alienation
and
separation
from
God
,
in
the
Transgression
,
unreconcil'd
to
God
,
the
Enmity
ruling
in
the
Heart
,
being
in
the
Fall
,
and
not
restor'd
to
God
again
,
but
ignorant
of
his
Power
,
and
of
his
Wisdom
,
having
the
Understanding
darkened
,
that
they
cannot
see
nor
perceive
the
things
that
are
Eternal
;
and
in
this
condition
his
best
Works
are
Sin
,
and
whatsoever
he
doth
,
he
cannot
be
accepted
of
God
;
for
he
is
dead
to
God
,
and
alive
to
all
evil
,
b●inging
forth
all
his
works
out
of
that
Ground
which
is
cursed
.
This
is
the
condition
of
all
Mankind
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
in
the
first
Ad●…
,
and
this
is
the
state
of
Reprobation
;
and
all
that
abide
herein
are
rejected
of
God
,
and
●…ll
never
inherit
eternal
Life
,
but
go
in●●
Perdition
;
yet
have
all

Some
of
the
〈◊〉
PRINCIPLES
OF
THE
QUAKERS
(
Scornfully
so
called
by
men
)
VINDICATED
,
And
proved
Sound
,
and
True
,
and
according
to
the
SCRIPTURES
:
In
Opposition
to
the
False
Charges
,
and
Lying
Reports
,
given
forth
against
the
Truth
,
in
two
Printed
Books
;
put
forth
by
one
Philip
Taverner
,
a
supposed
Minister
of
the
Gospel
,
in
Middlesex
near
Uxbridge
.
And
hereby
Truth
is
Manifested
and
Discovered
,
and
the
Controversie
determined
by
the
Judgment
of
Truth
,
between
Philip
Taverner
aforesaid
,
the
Accuser
,
and
Edward
Burroughs
,
Defendant
of
the
Truth
,
who
contends
for
the
Faith
of
the
Gospel
,
and
for
the
Word
of
God
in
the
Heart
,
against
all
such
Gainsayers
,
as
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
deny
the
Power
;
and
many
such
are
in
this
Age.
WHereas
P.
Taverner
,
one
of
Truth
's
Opposers
(
whether
thro●…
Ignorance
or
Subtilty
,
I
now
determine
not
)
hath
again
appear'd
against
me
and
the
Truth
in
Print
,
as
in
Vindication
of
himself
,
and
his
former
Work
;
who
about
four
Moneths
ago
,
gave
a
false
Relation
of
a
Dispute
;
but
instead
of
mending
the
matter
,
he
hath
made
his
own
cause
the
more
vile
,
as
may
appear
to
such
who
take
a
perfect
view
of
the
Proceedings
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
thereof
:
Now
the
intent
of
this
my
Reply
is
to
clear
the
Truth
further
,
and
to
take
off
his
false
Aspersions
,
which
he
hath
cast
upon
my
innocent
words
in
my
former
Book
,
in
answer
to
his
first
.
And
as
for
the
rest
of
his
Book
,
which
hath
no
relation
to
mine
,
nor
to
the
Dispute
,
I
shall
pass
it
by
.
The
Title
of
my
first
Book
was
,
Something
of
Truth
Made
Manifest
,
&c.
To
which
sayst
thou
,
A
plausible
Title
to
cover
a
Railing
and
Bitter
spirit
under
,
that
it
may
walk
in
the
World
less
suspected

〈◊〉
in●…eed

I
hardly
ever
read
any
Superscription
like
to
it
,
by
the
greatest
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
of
men
,
as
men
accoun●

and
it
is
a

〈◊〉
●●●●●ming
any

much

one
that

Mr.
such
an
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
seems
to
cover
himself
from
Ambition
,
because
saith
he
,
he
did
it
〈◊〉
himself
,
but
another
;
I
say
,
I
shall
not
charge
him
here
with
Falshood
;
but
I
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
it
is
very
unusual
for
any
man
to
add
any
thing
to
another
mans
Book
,
without
his
knowledge
;
I
never
knew
it
done
by
any
Stationer
,
who
hath
had
〈◊〉
knowledge
of
their
Wayes
:
but
yet
he
acknowledges
it
was
done
in
Honour
to
him
,
to
subscribe
him
Master
;
and
here
he
hath
justified
the
thing
;
and
〈◊〉
,
that
he
is
indeed
guilty
of
Ambition
,
who
confesseth
,
that
it
is
an
〈◊〉
to

,
to
be

by

for
he
saith

?
Mat.
23.

Neither
are
any
other
Scriptures
a
Warrant
〈◊〉
thy
man
so
to
do
;
though
for
a
whole
Page
he
treats
only
as
for
the
lawful●…
of
●●ch
Titles
,
yet
in
the
end
would
shut
guilt
from
his
own
Door
,
that
he
〈◊〉
not
Titles
;
for
he
saith
,
This
he
speaks
not
that
he
would
have
it
so
done
to
〈◊〉
.
And
this
his
seeming
to
justifie
himself
proves
himself
guilty
,
knowing
that
he
had
given
truly
occasion
for
People
to
judge
he
would
have
it
so
;
and
in
the
end
would
blind
the
minds
of
the
Simple
with
words
of
seeming
Humility
,
that
he
would
not
have
it
so
done
to
him
,
as
if
he
cared
not
for
it
.
And
whereas
I
said
in
my
first
[
That
I
am
without
any
Prejudice
towards
the
man
(
viz.
)
P.
T.
]
He
saith
,
I
must
give
him
leave
to
question
it
;
first
,
from
my
Railing
Words
against
him
;
secondly
,
from
my
Scornful
Pitty
expressed
,
&c.
(
saith
he
.
)
Rep.
I
have
no
Prejudice
against
him
,
God
is
my
Witness
;
and
he
may
que●…
what
he
will
,
who
is
in
the
Unbelief
;
for
its
manifest
by
his
former
,
that
he
questions
where
he
hath
no
just
occasion
,
shewing
much
prejudice
in
himself
,
for
he
said
in
his
first
Relation
,
commenting
upon
some
of
my
words
,
If
by
such
words
I
meant
so
,
then
it
was
truth
;
but
if
I
meant
so
,
then
it
was
false
:
And
〈◊〉
not
this
a
perfect
sign
of
prejudice
in
him
,
who
had
not
just
occasion
to
except
against
the
words
as
they
lay
;
nor
could
not
condemn
them
,
but
upon
giving
his
own
Interpretation
of
them
first
?
Whereupon
I
said
in
my
first
Answer
,
p.
14.
[
Alas
poor
man
!
must
I
be
judged
upon
thy
own
Meaning
,
&c.
]
and
yet
in
〈◊〉
words
I
shewed
no
scornful
Pitty
to
him
,
though
he
falsly
supposeth
it
,
and
s●…
it
;
and
so
while
he
cannot
believe
that
I
am
without
Prejudice
against
him
,
〈◊〉
hath
shewed
himself
guilty
of
prejudice
towards
me
and
my
words
,
to
be
see●
,
and
justly
believed
by
many
.
And
whereas
he
sait●
,
It
s
doubtful
how●…
I
own
the
Authority
of
the
Scrip●…
;
because
I
say
in
my
first
,
[
We
through
Patience
and
Comfort
of
the
Scriptures
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Hope
]
have
had
Hope
,
saith
he
:
Now
it
seems
,
because
I
place
my
words
,
〈◊〉
have
had
Hope
,
his
unbelieving
doubtful
Heart
questions
whether
I
own
the
●●thority
of
Scriptures
;
and
would
falsly
conclude
,
That
through
the
Comfort
of
the
Scriptures
we
have
no
Hope
now
;
and
saith
he
,
Are
you
now
flown
so
high
that
you
need
not
,
&c.
pag.
3.
And
therefore
I
may
now
answer
further
,
Ye●
,
through
the
Promise
of
the
Lord
,
declared
in
Scripture
,
we
have
Hope
〈◊〉
this
present
,
That
God
will
bring
down
and
overthrow
all
such
that
deceive
the
〈◊〉
,
who
are
made
Ministers
by
man
,
and
of
man
,
at
Schools
and
Colledges
;
and
all
this
set
Maintenance
by
Tythes
,
and
casting
people
into
Prison
,
and
spoiling
their
Goods
to
maintain
Ministers
,
as
at
this
day
in
the
Nation
;
many
Hundreds
have
been
cast
into
Prison
,
and
many
Hundred
Pounds
worth
of
Cattel
,
〈◊〉
Bedding
,
and
all
kind
of
Goods
have
been
distrained
for
to
maintain
the
Ministry
.
I
say
,
We
have
Hope
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
That
God
will
being
down
all
this
,
and
your
preaching
for
Money
,
and
bargaining
with
people
〈◊〉
so
much
the
year
,
and
your
preaching
what
you
have
studied
for
from
the
Scriptures
,
by
a
Glass
in
a
Steeple-house
,
where
the
Mass
used
to
be
said
;
God
will
confound
all
this
,
and
poor
people
shall
be
delivered
from
the
Mouthes
of
those
Deceivers
,
that
make
a
Prey
upon
them
,
and
preach
for
Hire
,
and
seek
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
;
and
these
things
,
with
many
other
,
we
hope
for
at
present
:
Wherefore
think
not
in
thy self
,
we
now
do
not
hope
;
for
we
〈◊〉
do
,
and
and
have
had
Hope
,
through
Patience
and
Comfort
of
the
Scriptures
.
Whereas
I
charged
P.
T.
in
my
last
,
[
That
he
had
wronged
both
me
and
the
Tr●●●
in
his
Relation
,
&c.
]
which
he
saith
in
his
Answer
is
false
;
and
he
saith
,
He
〈◊〉
not
apprehend
me
and
the
Truth
so
well
agreed
,
that
it
is
possible
to
wrong
us
both
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
&c.
pag.
4.
Rep.
That
he
wronged
me
it
appears
,
in
his
not
relating
all
that
I
said
〈◊〉
the
Dispute
(
the
Ground
of
this
Quarrel
)
not
by
half
and
more
I
k●…
;
and
in
relating
more
then
himself
spoke
,
by
far
:
And
let
sober
men
judge
●…ther
he
did
not
here
wrong
me
,
in
relating
a
thing
that
passed
between
us
,
〈◊〉
relating
much
more
then
ever
he
spoke
,
and
much
less
then
I
spoke
;
if
the
truth
of
that
Matter
(
were
it
wrong
or
right
Matter
)
and
my self
also
,
be
not
by
this
kind

wronged
,
I
appeal
to
all
honest
People
,
whilst
both
he
and
I
〈◊〉
silent
:
so
the
False-Dealing
and
Wrong
in
his
first
Book
,
is
upon
him
still
,
according
to
my
Charge
,
unremoved
.
And
the
Lye
in
this
his
last
Book
,
in
that
he
saith
,
I
say
Falsly
;
when
I
have
spoken
the
Truth
,
which
is
a
Lye
in
the
highest
degree
,
in
saying
when
I
spok●
the
truth
,
That
I
spoke
Falsly
;
and
his
Proof
,
in
that
the
Truth
and
I
do
not
agree
,
is
,
because
I
said
in
my
first
,
[
The
Saints
have
no
need
of
Scriptures
to
teach
them
;
but
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
leadeth
and
teacheth
into
all
Truth
.
]
Rep.
My
words
are
justifiable
;
for
,
It
is
the
Spirit
that
leadeth
into
all
Truth
,
John
16.
and
the
Saints
need
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
they
have
the
A●●inting
within
them
;
and
they
know
all
things
by
the
Unction
,
1
John
:
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
is
given
them
,
by
which
the
Scriptures
were
given
forth
;
And
the
Lord
is
the
Teacher
of
his
People
;
and
they
need
not
any
to
say
to
them
,
Know
the
Lord
,
Ier.
31.
Ye
they
that
witness
this
,
do
not
make
the
Scripture
of
none
effect
,
but
own
it
in
its
place
,
yet
not
as
their
Teacher
;
for
then
they
should
deny
the
new
Covenant
,
Ier.
31.
and
then
something
besides
the
Spirit
leads
into
Truth
,
and
they
have
something
to
teach
them
besides
the
Anointing
:
but
if
this
be
all
the
Proof
that
can
be
given
against
me
,
That
I
and
the
Truth
do
not
agree
,
I
doubt
not
but
●ll
Spiritual
men
will
see
the
Emptiness
and
Weakness
of
the
Witness
against
me
;
and
will
be
more
confirmed
,
rather
then
shaken
,
that
I
and
the
Truth
do
fully
agree
,
though
P.
T.
speaks
otherwise
falsly
against
me
;
and
as
if
I
had
contradicted
the
Apostles
words
,
which
he
quotes
against
me
,
who
saith
,
Whatsoever
things
were
written
afore
time
,
were
written
for
our
learning
;
which
Scripture
I
do
own
,
and
no
way
contradict
;
it
s
the
Error
of
his
Judgment
,
which
so
judgeth
;
for
,
even
they
for
whom
the
things
that
were
written
,
were
for
their
learning
;
yet
they
were
led
into
all
Truth
by
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
,
and
they
were
taught
of
the
Father
;
and
what
was
written
to
them
,
was
not
written
because
they
knew
not
Truth

or
to
teach
them
Truth

let
him
learn
what
this
means

The
next
thing
he
notes
is
,
whereas
I
said
[
I
then
proved
(

b●…
Scriptures
,
That
some
were
perfect

even
perfect
without

And
to
gainsay
this
he
hath
brought
,

John

If
〈◊〉
say
we
have
no
sin
,
we
deceive
our selves
,
and
the
Truth
is
not
in
us
:
and
saith
he
,
Who
speaks
truth
in
this
E.
B.
or
the
Apostle
?
as
if
I
had
spoken
contrary
to
the
Apostle
:
Solomon
also
(
saith
he
)
tell
us
,
There
is
not
a
Iust
Man
upon
Earth
,
that
doth
good
,
and
sinneth
not
:
which
also
he
brings
as
a
Witness
against
what
I
have
affirmed
.
Rep.
It
s
true
,
I
held
forth
a
state
of
Perfection
to
be
waited
for
,
and
attained
●●to
upon
Earth
;
and
I
am
not
ashamed
of
my
Principle
,
neither
is
it
found
too
light
,
For
that
Scripture
,
1
Cor.
2.
5.
doth
testifie
,
that
some
were
perfect
upon
Earth
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
;
and
if
they
were
so
,
the
same
is
to
be
waited
for
and
witnessed
in
this
Age
;
for
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
not
shortened
:
And
that
Scripture
,
1
Iohn
3.
Whosoever
abideth
in
him
,
sinneth
not
;
and
〈◊〉
is
born
of
God
doth
not
commit
sin
,
vers.

,

doth
clearly
manifest
,
there
is
a
●●●te
upon
Earth
free
from
sin
,
wherein
Power
is
received
and
felt
over
all
Temptations
,
and
over
the
Devil
,
even
such
an
estate
,
That
the
Wicked
One
can●…●●ch
such
that
are
born
of
God
;
and
this
was
the
thing
I
held
forth
,
and
do
vindi●…e
against
all
Opposers
;
That
the
Saints
may
wait
for
,
and
witness
upon
Earth
,
to
have
power
over
sin
,
and
over
its
Temptations
,
and
free
from
the
committing
of
sin
,
by
the
Power
of
the
second
Adam
living
and
dwelling
in
th●●
:
And
thus
must
thou
believe
P.
T.
or
else
thou
believest
not
Scripture
,
●●●
that
any
are
born
of
God
,
or
abide
in
Christ
;
if
thou
believest
not
that
,
t●…
confess
thou
errest
in
Judgment
,
who
art
unbelieving
of
what
the
Script●…
bears
witness
of
.
Therefore
tell
me
plainly
if
thou
believest
,
That
there
●…y
that
are
born
of
God
,
and
abide
in
Christ
;
then
must
thou
believe
,
〈◊〉
do
not
commit
sin
;
el●e
thou
deniest
the
Scripture
:
And
what
I
held
forth
herein
,
I
do
not
contradict
the
Apostle
,
nor
Solomon's
words
;
for
its
true
the
Apostle
said
,
If
we
say
we
have
no
Sin
we
,
deceive
our selves
:
but
art
thou
so
blind
that
thou
dost
not
see
,
he
speaks
there
of
a
state
before
Confession
of
Sins
;
and
the
words
saith
the
Apostle
,
If
we
confess
our
Sins
,
he
is
faithful
and
just
to
forgive
us
〈◊〉
Sins
,
and
to
cleanse
us
from
all
Unrighteousness
;
so
I
do
agree
with
the
Apostle's
words
,
and
do
not
contradict
them
:
For
I
do
say
,
If
any
say
they
have
no
sin
,
before
they
do
confess
their
sin
,
and
forsake
their
sin
,
and
be
cleansed
from
it
,
I
do
say
they
are
Lyars
,
and
the
Truth
not
in
them
;
and
I
also
say
,
If
that
after
a
ma●
hath
confest
his
sin
,
and
be
cleansed
from
it
,
and
hath
his
sin
forgiven
him
,
and
witnesseth
that
he
is
born
of
God
,
and
does
not
commit
sin
;
I
say
,
he
〈◊〉
the
Truth
also
,
and
the
Truth
is
in
him
.
And
though
Solomon
did
say
,
There
is
not
a
just
man
upon
Earth
,
that
doth
good
,
and
sins
not
;
yet
is
my
affirmation
true
notwithstanding
;
for
Solomon
forgat
the
Lord
,
and
his
Heart
went
after
many
strange
Women
,
and
became
a
Transgressor
,
and
in
that
state
did
not
know
the
Birth
born
of
God
,
which
doth
not
commit
Sin
;
for
he
was
but
under
the
Administration
of
the
Law
,
which
doth
not
make
perfect
,
as
pert●…
to
the
Conscience
;
and
peradventure
in
that
state
;
he
being
erred
from
God
,
he
did
not
see
any
that
did
not
sin
:
These
things
will
be
plain
to
some
▪
though
perhaps
thou
mayst
shut
thine
eye
against
them
;
and
Solomen
was
not
our
Example
in
Conversation
,
I
am
sure
,
nor
hardly
in
Doctrine
.
And
thus
I
〈◊〉
weighed
thy
Text
,
which
thou
seemest
to
say
before
,
I
have
not
weighed
;
and
my
Principles
are
proved
sound
,
and
thou
and
thine
too
light
,
and
the
〈◊〉
the
Lord
will
scatter
them
.
And
P.
T.
confesses
,
Every
Real-hearted
Christian
may
be
,
and
is
in
〈◊〉
called
Perfect
.
Rep.
Then
wherefore
doth
he
oppose
me
,
who
testifieth
the
same
thing
?
and
he
now
confesseth
even
,
That
every
Real-hearted
Christian
may
be
,
and
is
called
Perfect
in
Scripture
:
And
is
not
he
here
guilty
,
in
that
he
charged
me
falsly
,
in
pag.
21.
of
his
last
,
With
going
Rounds
,
like
unto
a
Horse
in
a
Mill
,
who
sometimes
denies
Perfection
,
and
sometimes
confesses
it
,
to
be
attained
in
this
life
?
but
he
is
forced
in
the
end
to
confess
to
the
Truth
,
and
to
iustifie
me
▪
And
also
the
Scripture
doth
testifie
,
The
Saints
were
already
perfect
and
compleat
in
Christ
,
while
they
were
in
the
Life
upon
Earth
,
Col.
1.
though
there
be
a
time
wherein
all
the
Saints
do
complain
of
the
Body
of
Sin
,
in
their
Warfare
and
Travel
;
yet
there
is
a
state
also
,
wherein
they
have
put
off
the
●…doy
of
Sin
,
and
are
the
Servants
of
Righteousness
,
and
free
from
Sin
,
Rom.
〈◊〉
.
22.
But
P.
T.
shews
little
Experience
in
those
states
,
as
of
the
Travel
under
the
Body
of
Death
,
and
also
of
the
Victory
over
it
;
and
so
what
he
spe●…
is
but
by
guess
from
other
mens
words
,
and
then
it
is
no
marvel
if
he
errs
in
●udgment
,
and
bring
one
Scripture
to
contradict
another
,
not
having
the
inf●…
Spirit
that
gave
it
forth
,
nor
feeling
the
States
,
nor
the
passing
thorow
these
Conditions
declared
therein
,
for
there
is
a
time
of
Travelling
,
and
complaining
under
the
Body
of
Sin
,
and
its
Burden
;
and
a
time
of
Freedom
from
it
,
and
Victory
over
it
,
yea
,
even
in
this
life
upon
Earth
.
And
whereas
I
said
in
my
last
,
[
Many
of
the
Saints
daily
received
more
and
〈◊〉
of
God's
Wisdom
,
and
of
his
Power
and
Life
revealed
in
them
,
wherein
they
grow
in
to
God
from
strength
to
strength
.
]
Now
saith
he
,
But
whether
he
doth
not
own
some
to
have
attained
so
high
,
that
there
can
be
no
Addition
,
is
a
Query
;
my
soul
(
saith
he
)
〈◊〉
not
been
able
to
enter
into
his
secrets
in
this
thing
,
(
because
my
words
were
,
Mary
of
the
Saints
,
&c.
)
Rep.
My
first
words
it
seems
he
cannot
contradict
,
but
owns
them
to
be
the
,
so
I
need
not
defend
them
;
only
he
supposeth
a
Question
,
in
which
there
is
not
much
Edification
to
be
answered
;
and
I
have
no
secrets
in
what
I
speak
;
for
to
the
the
Children
of
Light
my
words
are
plain
,
though
to
P.
T.
and
such
,
they
may
be
Parables
and
Secrets
:
But
as
for
my
own
particular
,
I
now
here
answer
〈◊〉
Question
,
and
further
reply
,
I
do
grow
up
in
Wisdom
and
Knowledge
daily
;
and
never
knew
so
much
of
T
's
.
Deceit
,
as
now
I
do
,
since
,
and
at
the
Dispute
(
the
Ground
of
this
our
Debate
)
so
I
thought
good
to
let
him
know
,
that
I
do
grow
in
Truth
,
which
doth
daily
discover
more
and
more
Deceit
in
him
,
and
them
that
oppose
Truth
;
and
so
also
grow
in
the
Knowledge
of
his
Error
of
Judgment
and
Ignorance
,
that
I
may
condemn
it
,
and
judge
it
.
And
whereas
I
said
,
[
The
Light
which
everyman
is
lightned
withal
by
Christ
,
is
sufficient
to
bring
up
every
man
to
believe
in
Christ
,
that
loves
the
Light
,
and
walks
in
it
;
and
unto
such
is
Grace
added
and
encreased
daily
,

as
in

of
my
first
more
appeareth
,
In
opposition
to
this
,
to
overthrow
it

and
that
no

wrought

the

No

let

He
saith

He
doth

he
fears
there

Then
why
doth

For

That

be
Wolves

himself
is
found
also
guilty

I

which
he

A
TESTIMONY
Against
a
Great
Idolatry
COMMITTED
:
And
a
True
Mourning
Of
the
Lord's
Servant
,
〈◊〉
the
many
Considerations
of
his
Heart
,
upon
that
Occasion
of
the
great
stir
about
an
Image
made
and
carried
from
▪
〈…〉
Place
to
another
;
happening
the
23th
day
of
the
9th
Moneth
.
IT
came
to
pass
,
and
happened
,
that
being
at
Kingston
upon
Thames
,
the
the
22th
day
of
the
ninth
Moneth
,
it
was
ordered
the
next
Morning
,
that
I
came
from
thence
to
London
;
and
as
I
entred
in
at
Charing-Cross
,
I
be●●ld
a
very
great
Multitude
of
People
gathering
together
,
and
thronging
and
pressing
exceedingly
;
and
the
whole
Streets
were
filled
,
from
one
side
to
the
other
,
upwards
and
downwards
,
so
far
as
I
could
see
;
with
abundance
gazing
forth
at
every
Window
,
and
upon
the
Belconies
,
and
House-tops
;
and
the
Glass
was
●…d
down
for
people
to
look
out
into
the
Streets
;
and
an
exceeding
number
of
people
there
was
,
all
the
Streets
so
thronged
,
that
I
thought
it
could
not
be
possible
that
any
more
could
throng
in
,
or
pass
by
:
and
there
were
Guards
of
Souldiers
,
both
of
Horse
and
Foot
;
and
they
stayed
me
,
and
stopped
my
Horse
;
and
said
,
I
might
not
pass
that
way
;
neither
indeed
could
I
well
,
by
reason
of
the
throng
of
people
:
and
I
stay'd
a
very
little
,
but
presently
passed
back
another
way
,
in
a
kind
of
wondering
at
this
great
stir
I
found
in
my
way
;
and
I
beheld
all
spirits
of
people
were
up
in
a
Wonderment
and
Admiration
,
and
gazing
they
were
,
and
hurrying
,
as
if
some
marvellous
and
great
thing
had
happened
to
them
,
or
were
to
be
seen
by
them
;
and
I
felt
the
spirits
of
Men
,
Women
and
Children
were
all
on
Fire
,
and
they
were
in
an
admiring
frame
,
and
in
a
condition
not
usual
.
And
as
I
passed
along
,
I
turned
in
my
Mind
,
to
see
of
the
Lord
what
this
thing
might
be
,
and
what
might
be
the
End
of
it
,
and
why
was
this
gathering
,
and
running
,
and
thronging
of
Multitudes
in
this
manner
,
and
in
this
frame
;
and
presently
,
upon
consideration
,
I
perceived
that
a
dead
Image
,
and
invented
Picture
would
be
carry'd
that
way
;
and
that
all
this
pressing
,
and
stir
,
and
the
gathering
of
this
great
Multitude
,
was
only
to
see
and
behold
a
dead
Image
without
life
or
breath
;
and
then
my
spirit
was
grieved
,
and
my
soul
was
vexed
within
me
;
and
it
run
through
me
,
Vanity
,
Vanity
,
Folly
,
and
Madness
:
What
is
all
this
setting
of
Guards
,
gathering
of
people
in
such
thronging
Multitudes
,
and
pulling
down
the
Glass
,
and
gazing
of
Men
,
Women
and
Children
,
high
and
low
;
rich
and
poor
,
people
of
all
sorts
that
were
come
together
?
Is
all
this
wondering
of
people
and
inflaming
of
spirits
in
this
admiring
mood
?
Is
all
this
(
said
I
)
but
to
see
a
dead
invented
Image
of
Wood
or
Wax
,
arrayed
and
decked
with
some
foolish
Inventions
?
Said
my
spirit
,
Oh
Abominable
!
Oh
Idolatry
!
Oh
Folly
and
Vanity
!
and
my
life
was
grieved
.
What
is
all
this
preparation
of
people
in
this
wondering
frame
,
but
to
behold
an
Image
carried
,
and
to
see
simple
foolish
people
following
after
it
in
their
Idolatrous
Rob●●
and
Gestures
,
such
who
had
invented
it
,
and
been
at
cost
with
it
?
And
then
my
spirit
was
burdened
,
and
the
very
smell
of
Idolatry
and
Abomination
entred
upon
me
,
and
the
weight
of
all
this
Iniquity
came
into
me
,
and
vexed
the
Righteous
;
and
the
very
sence
of
this
Abomination
seized
upon
my
Life
,
and
I
felt
the
burden
of
their
so
great
Wickedness
;
the
making
the
Image
I
felt
a
burden
,
and
all
the
foolish
Circumstances
about
it
,
for
many
dayes
,
and
the
peoples
Folly
and
Madness
,
that
so
gathered
and
pressed
to
behold
it
,
and
so
wondred
after
it
,
was
a
burden
to
me
,
and
they
that
carry'd
it
in
their
foolish
gest●●●
:
All
this
is
Iniquity
and
Abomination
,
said
my
spirit
;
and
I
was
loaden
therewith
,
and
said
,
Certainly
the
Judgments
of
God
will
meet
with
this
Work
,
and
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
because
of
it
;
and
their
Souls
should
once
feel
the
burden
of
it
with
Terror
,
as
mine
at
this
present
.
And
it
came
into
me
,
It
might
be
some
would
be
wounded
,
or
pressed
to
Death
,
or
some
Wickedness
would
come
out
of
this
Wickedness
,
that
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
might
break
forth
,
and
smite
such
as
were
the
Foundation
of
this
sinful
Abomination
;
and
my
spirit
had
a
deep
sence
of
the
greatness
and
sinfulness
of
this
high
and
mighty
Idolatry
;
and
it
wounded
me
,
and
made
me
sad
:
But
immediately
(
from
that
temper
)
on
a
very
sudden
my
spirit
was
changed
,
and
I
was
filled
with
the
Indignation
of
the
Lord
God
against
this
Image
,
and
this
stir
about
it
;
his
Plagues
,
and
Fury
and
Fire
run
through
me
to
cry
,
Plagues
,
Plagues
and
Vengeance
against
them
,
because
of
this
Abomination
:
And
I
found
my
spirit
set
on
fire
with
the
very
Power
of
God
rising
in
me
against
this
Idolatry
,
that
if
I
had
been
moved
to
it
,
and
it
had
been
possible
to
have
done
it
,
I
could
have
ridden
through
the
Guards
,
and
over
the
Multitude
,
to
have
sounded
the
Judgments
of
God
,
and
his
Woes
amongst
them
,
and
through
them
;
and
I
could
then
have
engaged
the
loss
of
my
life
,
that
the
Lord
might
have
been
revenged
upon
this
Image
,
and
Image-Makers
,
and
Image-Followers
,
and
Image-Wonderers
after
,
that
my
Soul
might
be
freed
from
its
present
burden
,
through
this
grle●…
Wickedness
:
Said
I
What
silly
,
foolish
,
blind
,
ignorant
people
are
these
?
What
a
power
hath
the
Devil
over
them
!
and
how
are
they
led
captive
at
his
will
!
What
an
influence
hath
the
sight
of
a
dead
Image
upon
their
dead
hearts
and
carnal
minds
!
Was
ever
the
like
,
said
I
?
Is
there
greater
Abomination
at
Rome
?
What
Blindness
and
Sencelesness
is
over
the
hearts
of
this
people
?
And
after
this
manner
,
for
a
good
season
after
,
my
spirit
within
me
aggravated
and
unfolded
this
great
Abomination
,
tumbling
it
over
and
over
in
my
own
Breast
,
with
a
secret
pitty
for
their
Souls
which
were
ensnared
and
captivated
through
all
this
Wickedness
.
But
further
,
I
considered
,
that
all
this
Abomination
and
sinful
Idolatry
is
about
the
Funeral
of
the
late
Oliver
Cromwel
;
then
said
I
,
What
for
him
!
Alas
for
him
!
who
was
once
a
great
Instrument
in
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
to
break
down
many
idolatrous
Images
,
and
grievous
Idols
;
and
did
not
the
Lord
once
stir
up
his
heart
against
all
such
things
?
And
did
not
once
his
Children
,
Officers
,
and
his
brave
Souldiers
and
Army
,
pull
down
all
the
Images
and
Crosses
,
and
all
such
like
Popish
stuff
where
ever
they
met
with
it
?
And
said
my
spirit
,
What
grievous
and
abominable
work
is
this
?
Have
they
now
made
a
costly
Image
of
him
?
and
are
such
as
were
once
his
Souldiers
now
guarding
it
,
and
watching
over
it
?
and
his
Children
and
Officers
following
it
,
and
Multitudes
of
the
Inhabitants
of
London
wondering
and
gazing
after
an
Image
of
him
?
This
is
sad
,
said
I
,
and
great
pitty
,
What
a
change
is
this
in
so
short
a
time
?
Was
it
but
a
few
years
since
that
he
,
and
his
Army
,
and
his
Servants
,
and
his
Children
,
and
Officers
,
were
so
zealous
to
throw
down
Images
,
Pictures
,
and
I●●l●
,
that
they
could
not
endure
the
sight
and
worshipping
of
them
?
And
have
they
now
made
an
Image
of
him
,
which
his
Officers
,
Children
and
Kindred
are
carrying
from
place
to
place
,
and
following
it
,
and
Multitudes
caused
to
wonder
after
it
?
What
a
change
is
this
,
said
I
?
Oh
sad
!
Are
people
run●…g
after
Images
again
,
as
in
the
time
of
Popery
?
And
have
they
made
an
〈◊〉
and
deckt
it
with
costly
array
,
and
set
it
up
for
People
to
visit
a
long
time
,
and
then
haling
it
from
place
to
place
?
Are
they
doing
this
in
London
,
as
they
do
at
Rome
amongst
Papists
?
This
is
Pittiful
:
But
how
cometh
this
to
pass
?
I
began
to
consider
,
and
said
,
I
knew
the
Man
,
when
he
was
living
,
and
〈◊〉
the
knowledge
of
his
spirit
;
and
I
was
perswaded
;
if
it
had
been
asked
him
in
his
life
time
,
If
such
work
should
be
acted
about
him
,
such
an
Image
made
like
〈◊〉
,
and
laid
for
so
long
time
in
a
〈◊〉
place
,
and
manner
,
and
them
carried
by
his
●…ed
,
and
Children
,
Kindred
,
and
Army
,
and
then
set
up
in
such
a
place
,
and
he
removed
from
place
to
place
.
I
say
,
I
believe
he
would
have
denied
it
,
and
said
,
it
shall
not
●e
thus
for
me
when
I
am
dead
;
I
suppose
he
would
not
have
suffered
it
thus
to
have
been
;
he
was
more
wife
,
I
thought
,
he
would
have
said
;
Nay
,
what
,
to
ma●…
Image
of
me
,
and
deck
it
diversly
from
one
form
to
another
,
and
visit
it
;
and
then
carry
it
from
place
to
place
,
up
and
down
!
this
will
be
a
shame
to
〈◊〉
Children
,
and
a
disgrace
to
my
Kindred
,
and
a
reproach
to
my
Officers
,
and
whole
Army
,
and
all
the
Nation
will
mock
and
be
offended
,
and
they
may
〈◊〉
.
These
are
they
that
were
once
Enemies
to
all
Images
and
dead
Idols
,
and
〈◊〉
them
down
,
and
broke
them
down
;
and
are
these
now
making
an
Image
,
〈◊〉
setting
it
up
,
and
wondering
after
it
from
place
to
place
?
Nay
,
(
might
be
have
said
)
if
thus
it
be
done
,
they
at
Rome
may
laugh
us
to
scorn
,
and
the
Pa●…s
may
say
,
We
have
learned
of
them
,
and
put
their
Persons
from
among
us
,
and
ba●…
,
and
killed
them
,
and
set
up
their
Practices
:
sure
he
would
have
said
thus
;
〈◊〉
I
am
certain
,
the
Witness
of
God
in
his
Conscience
might
truly
have
said
it
,
because
it
is
Truth
.
But
upon
another
consideration
,
I
said
this
is
come
to
pass
after
this
manner
,
though
he
was
once
zealous
against
all
Popery
,
yet
he
did
too
much
forget
that
good
cause
,
and
too
much
sought
the
greatness
and
honour
of
the
World
,
and
loved
the
praise
of
men
,
and
took
flattering
titles
,
and
vain
respects
of
deceit●●l
men
,
and
many
great
Abominations
were
upheld
through
him
,
as
Tythes
,
and
Old
Mass-houses
,
and
ordaining
of
Ministers
by
mans
will
,
and
the
false
●…ips
,
and
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
such
like
Popish
stuff
,
first
invented
at
Rome
;
and
he
suffered
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
to
be
persecuted
,
and
imprison●…
,
for
denying
and
crying
against
such
things
as
were
Popish
,
and
which
himself
sometime
seemed
to
deny
;
and
because
of
this
,
said
I
this
may
justly
be
come
to
pass
,
that
an
Idolatrous
Image
and
Picture
,
should
be
made
of
him
●●en
he
is
dead
,
and
decked
,
and
laid
in
a
sumptuous
manner
,
and
visited
,
and
then
carried
from
place
to
place
,
(
as
was
usual
in
the
time
of
Popery
)
for
mul●…es
of
foolish
people
to
gaze
upon
,
and
wonder
after
,
and
admire
,
and
praise●
,
that
all
men
might
see
the
first
cause
is
lost
,
and
that
zeal
,
which
his
kindred
and
Army
had
once
in
their
hearts
against
Popery
,
is
extinguished
,
and
people
are
turned
again
〈◊〉
gaze
after
Images
,
which
is
Popish
;
for
such
practises
that
day
between
Somersett-●ouse
and
Westminster
were
first
ordained
at
Rome
,
and
practised
by
the
Papists
;
and
he
that
suffered
many
to
be
imprisoned
;
for
denying
and
crying
against
such
Worships
and
Practices
,
as
were
in
themselves
Popish
,
and
which
he
himself
once
fought
against
;
it
s
happened
now
,
when
he
is
dead
;
and
it
s
suffer'd
now
that
they
should
make
a
Fool
of
him
in
a
Popish
way
and
manner
:
For
such
Practices
are
no
other
then
Foolery
and
Foolishness
,
tending
to
the
Dishonour
of
a
good
Man
.
but
in
the
midst
of
my
Considerations
,
a
pitty
struck
through
me
,
for
once
noble
Oliver
,
that
is
now
dead
,
and
his
place
no
more
found
;
and
I
was
grieved
he
should
be
thus
abused
,
being
dead
,
by
such
a
stir
about
an
Image
made
of
him
,
for
many
weeks
together
,
as
hath
been
;
and
I
began
to
recal
my
former
acquaintance
with
him
,
and
the
former
dealings
of
God
towards
him
,
and
what
a
gallant
Instrument
for
the
Lord
he
once
was
;
and
how
many
glorious
and
noble
Victories
God
once
gave
him
;
and
what
good
parts
,
and
what
a
gallant
spirit
there
was
in
him
,
and
how
once
he
shewed
me
,
and
declared
what
the
former
dealing
of
the
Lord
had
been
upon
his
Soul
;
and
how
he
was
troubled
in
conscience
formerly
;
&
my
spirit
run
through
many
such
things
,
with
a
great
deal
of
sexiousness
and
pitty
:
And
then
said
I
,
Alas
,
alas
!
Is
it
ended
all
in
this
?
all
his
former
good
service
for
God
and
the
Nations
;
all
his
Victories
,
and
his
good
Actions
,
and
his
beating
down
Superstition
;
Is
this
the
end
of
it
all
;
the
making
of
an
Image
,
and
carrying
it
from
place
to
place
?
is
it
ended
all
here
,
what
formerly
he
hath
been
,
and
what
he
hath
done
?
how
hath
this
cloud
of
Folly
cast
a
stink
and
darkness
upon
his
former
brightness
,
and
glory
,
and
nobleness
?
and
is
this
the
end
,
and
final
farwel
of
once
noble
Oliver
?
what
,
only
the
sight
of
an
Image
carried
and
set
up
?
Hath
the
City
of
London
,
and
the
Nations
to
better
Memento
of
him
?
But
,
oh
!
had
he
been
faithfull
to
the
end
,
to
God
,
he
would
have
left
a
more
lively
and
heavenly
Character
to
have
been
read
for
his
sake
,
then
an
Image
of
him
,
and
such
Idolatrous
practises
;
and
my
life
could
have
sorrowed
upon
some
considerations
passed
through
me
about
this
business
,
and
for
some
hours
my
spirit
could
not
rest
;
and
in
the
very
time
it
lay
upon
me
to
write
this
:
And
after
all
this
,
said
my
spirit
;
Where
are
all
the
old
Priests
now
,
and
his
ancient
Teachers
,
who
once
had
a
great
zeal
against
all
these
things
,
and
against
all
such
practises
?
Where
are
they
now
?
are
they
blind
also
,
said
I
,
that
they
cannot
see
this
abominable
Idolatry
,
and
cry
against
it
?
had
they
any
hand
in
it
?
or
were
they
Consenters
to
these
things
?
What
is
become
of
them
?
Is
their
zeal
for
the
Lord
,
and
against
Idolatry
quite
gone
?
thought
I
,
they
might
have
prevented
this
disgrace
to
their
old
Master
,
who
hath
served
them
well
,
and
set
them
in
great
places
,
and
put
them
in
large
Benefices
,
and
they
might
have
done
something
for
him
when
he
is
dead
,
and
have
prevented
this
Folly
,
and
Idolatry
,
which
is
acted
upon
him
this
day
;
for
certainly
all
people
in
the
Nation
that
fear
God
will
be
offended
,
and
judge
in
their
hearts
such
work
,
the
framing
of
an
Image
,
and
sounding
Trumpets
,
and
beating
Drums
before
it
,
and
cloathing
Horses
in
Mourning
,
and
Trayling
their
Pikes
;
and
even
the
very
Honourable
of
the
Nation
clad
in
Mourning
,
and
following
this
Image
,
and
all
this
stir
,
and
cost
,
and
preparation
for
many
Weeks
before-hand
,
and
such
decking
in
Mourning
Attire
of
great
and
noble
Men
,
and
all
but
to
accompany
an
Image
from
one
place
to
another
,
whereby
people
are
deceived
,
who
might
look
upon
it
to
be
the
Burial
of
Oliver
Protector
;
whenas
it
was
but
an
Image
,
made
by
hands
,
&
decked
&
trimed
in
a
vain
manner
,
as
if
it
had
bin
some
Poppit
Play
;
which
if
it
had
been
indeed
his
Bones
,
they
had
accompanied
to
the
ground
in
such
a
manner
,
that
had
bin
less
condemnable
,
and
I
should
not
had
ought
against
it
:
But
for
the
Wisemen
in
the
Nation
to
be
chief
in
these
things
,
and
to
exercise
themselves
in
such
Folly
and
Vanity
,
this
grieves
the
Righteous
Soul
;
and
if
I
should
justifie
it
,
the
Lord
would
condemn
me
:
but
the
shame
will
fall
upon
themselves
that
acted
it
,
and
chiefly
upon
their
Priests
and
Teachers
,
because
they
were
consenting
to
such
Vanity
,
and
piece
of
Popery
,
as
this
was
:
And
had
these
old
Doctors
and
Teachers
feared
God
,
and
their
Hearts
been
aright
towards
him
,
they
would
have
endeavoured
the
stopping
of
this
Abomination
;
and
another
way
might
have
been
thought
upon
,
whereby
a
more
lively
and
godly
Monument
of
their
old
Master
might
have
stood
to
Generations
.
What
shall
the
making
,
and
visiting
,
and
carrying
,
and
setting
up
of
a
dead
Image
,
for
foolish
people
to
gaze
upon
,
and
run
wondring
after
in
their
wicked
minds
?
Must
this
be
all
the
Monument
?
And
shall
we
have
no
other
Representation
of
once
noble
Cromwel
?
Is
his
Life
,
and
former
Glory
and
Nobleness
shaddow'd
with
the
sight
of
a
dead
Image
?
Alas
!
This
presents
nothing
at
all
to
such
as
fear
God
,
but
Folly
,
and
Ignorance
,
Vanity
,
and
Idolatry
;
and
when
they
look
upon
it
,
they
shall
be
grieved
in
their
spirits
,
and
vexed
when
they
can
find
no
more
Monument
of
that
once
noble
man
,
but
an
invented
●…ge
and
Picture
;
and
the
Priests
shall
be
ashamed
,
and
may
have
the
greatest
rebuke
;
for
they
that
lead
the
people
have
caused
them
to
err
.
And
now
upon
the
whole
matter
,
from
the
very
beginning
to
the
end
thereof
,
I
do
declare
against
it
;
and
that
a
fearful
Abomination
hath
been
committed
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
in
relation
to
this
Image
;
and
you
have
vext
the
Lord's
Soul
;
and
his
Hand
you
shall
feel
upon
your
Consciences
,
and
the
weight
thereof
in
the
time
to
come
:
the
spending
of
so
much
of
the
Creation
,
and
wasting
Money
,
and
other
things
,
the
Lord
will
lay
to
your
charge
;
and
the
whole
City
hath
been
abused
with
running
and
wondring
after
the
work
of
your
own
hands
.
And
now
all
you
that
have
gone
to
gaze
and
wonder
after
an
Image
;
What
saw
you
?
What
beheld
you
?
What
wondered
you
after
,
ought
except
folly
and
vanity
,
and
a
dead
Image
,
whereby
▪
the
man
and
his
Nobility
was
abused
,
in
honour
to
whom
they
say
it
was
done
?
And
when
many
dayes
were
spent
,
what
were
you
the
better
?
What
were
you
edified
?
were
you
not
convinced
of
your
〈◊〉
Folly
?
And
might
not
your
Wickedness
reprove
you
?
And
did
not
the
Li●…
in
your
own
Consciences
check
you
,
and
prick
you
▪
and
condemn
your
vain
minds
,
that
wondred
after
Folly
?
Though
now
you
may
be
hardned
,
yet
〈◊〉
day
you
shall
confess
,
when
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
doth
arise
,
and
bring
all
your
deeds
to
remembrance
;
then
shall
you
say
,
This
work
was
Abomination
,
and
〈◊〉
great
Sin
in
them
,
who
invented
it
,
and
caused
it
to
be
brought
forth
,
and
your selves
that
〈◊〉
wondred
after
it
;
and
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
are
against
all
these
things
.

A
MESSAGE
PROCLAIMED
,
BY
Divine
Authority
;
From
the
chosen
Assembly
of
the
Redeemed
People
in
England
,
to
the
Pope
(
chief
Bishop
)
of
Rome
,
and
to
his
Cardinals
,
Jesuits
and
Priests
,
and
all
other
the
Officers
of
the
Romish
Church
,
where
it
shall
meet
with
them
through
the
World
:
That
they
may
appear
,
and
come
forth
to
Tryal
;
and
shew
if
they
have
the
same
Faith
,
Power
,
Spirit
,
Authority
and
Government
,
as
had
the
Apostles
and
true
Churches
,
before
the
Apostacy
.
And
this
is
a
full
Invitation
and
Challenge
to
the
whole
Church
of
Rome
,
and
the
beginning
of
Controversie
with
her
,
for
the
perfect
manifestation
of
the
long
hidden
Truth
;
betwixt
them
that
are
in
the
Truth
it self
,
and
such
as
have
the
Form
,
but
not
the
Power
;
that
all
things
may
be
brought
to
Light
,
and
true
Judgment
.
WHereas
we
,
a
poor
,
despised
,
and
rejected
People
,
among
the
Nations
of
the
Earth
;
yet
Dreadful
and
Mighty
,
because
the
Majesty
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
is
with
us
,
who
hath
called
us
,
and
chosen
us
,
and
gathered
us
,
and
redeemed
us
from
among
men
,
out
of
Kindreds
,
and
Multitudes
and
Peoples
,
into
one
Body
and
one
Spirit
,
out
of
all
the
Sects
upon
the
Earth
;
and
we
are
of
one
Mind
and
one
Soul
;
having
Fellowship
with
the
Son
,
and
with
the
Father
;
being
come
through
great
Tribulations
,
and
many
fiery
Tryals
,
and
are
refined
and
purified
,
and
made
clean
and
white
in
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
;
being
fully
recover'd
out
of
the
great
Deluge
of
Darkness
and
Apostacy
,
which
hath
overflown
and
drowned
the
whole
World
,
and
all
Nations
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
true
Churches
and
holy
Apostles
.
And
know
ye
,
That
we
are
none
of
all
the
many
Sects
,
nor
of
the
divers
Wayes
,
and
formal
Worshippers
,
that
are
but
in
the
Imitations
,
fiegned
of
what
the
Saints
of
old
spoke
and
performed
in
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
;
which
hath
been
spoken
and
practized
by
all
the
divers
Sects
and
false
Churches
,
without
the
Spirit
,
Power
and
Life
,
that
was
in
the
Apostles
;
so
that
all
Religion
hath
been
,
and
the
Profession
and
Practice
thereof
,
for
many
Ages
;
but
as
the
floating
of
a
broken
Vessel
upon
the
Waters
,
driven
with
the
several
Winds
,
wanting
Anchor
,
and
skilful
Marriners
,
which
have
not
carried
to
perfect
Rest
the
Hope
of
Eternal
Life
.
But
know
ye
,
that
now
at
last
,
through
our
long
and
wearied
Travels
,
and
after
all
our
tedious
Seekings
,
and
our
zealous
Practises
and
Profession
in
Christianity
performed
by
us
,
while
Darkness
covered
us
,
and
the
Earth
;
hath
the
Lord
set
us
safe
upon
the
Rock
Christ
Jesus
,
upon
whom
the
Church
of
Christ
firmly
standeth
,
and
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
;
and
he
hath
made
our
Habitation
sure
upon
the
Mountain
of
his
House
,
which
is
established
upon
the
top
of
the
Mountains
,
whereunto
we
now
are
gathered
,
and
rest
in
a
certain
hope
and
tried
confidence
,
and
doth
view
the
whole
World
,
and
the
state
of
all
Mankind
,
and
measureth
the
times
and
seasons
thoroughout
Generations
;
and
the
state
of
the
Church
we
perfectly
know
,
by
the
inspiration
of
the
Almighty
,
her
estate
before
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
her
increase
,
and
decrease
,
and
estate
,
since
the
beginning
of
the
World
till
now
,
and
at
this
present
time
,
to
us
is
certainly
known
,
by
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
,
and
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
,
which
now
is
risen
upon
our
Mountain
,
and
shines
in
our
Habitations
.
And
first
we
certifie
you
,
as
for
the
many
false
Sects
and
Churches
(
so
called
)
and
many
of
the
divers
worshippers
,
and
separated
forms
of
Churches
,
risen
up
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
from
the
least
of
them
to
the
greatest
,
we
have
searched
and
examined
,
and
are
not
fully
satisfied
(
but
rather
the
contrary
)
that
they
are
perfectly
sound
in
the
Faith
,
but
rather
degenerated
,
from
the
Power
,
Spirit
,
and
Life
that
was
in
the
Apostles
,
and
among
the
true
Churches
before
the
Apostacy
;
and
we
have
sought
out
their
first
original
and
root
,
and
we
find
they
fall
short
of
the
true
Church
and
the
Apostles
;
first
in
respect
of
time
,
many
Generations
;
and
also
in
respect
of
life
,
and
power
,
and
purity
,
and
they
want
the
spirit
,
and
dominion
,
and
Government
,
that
the
true
Churches
and
Apostles
possessed
;
and
we
certainly
believe
,
they
are
many
of
them
come
up
,
and
risen
in
a
dark
Night
,
long
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
while
the
Sun
was
yet
unrisen
,
and
while
the
Mountains
of
Ignorance
,
Blindness
,
and
Wickedness
covered
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
Clouds
of
Darkness
remained
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Heavens
;
and
while
yet
the
Man-child
remains
in
God
,
being
caught
up
to
him
,
and
the
Woman
lodged
in
the
desolate
Wilderness
,
being
thither
fled
because
of
the
great
red
Dragon
.
And
we
believe
not
,
that
any
of
them
are
the
Lambs
Wife
,
lawfully
joyned
to
him
,
neither
are
they
the
Virgin
,
in
which
there
is
no
spot
;
nor
the
Spouse
,
truly
in
election
to
Christ
the
Bridegroom
;
for
we
have
had
controversie
with
them
this
divers
years
,
and
weighed
them
,
and
measured
them
in
the
ballance
of
equity
,
and
they
appear
to
us
,
not
to
be
of
a
true
descent
from
that
Vine
,
into
which
true
Church
was
planted
;
but
their
original
may
be
of
a
latter
race
.
And
to
say
no
more
of
them
,
we
certainly
know
they
are
foully
spotted
,
and
have
not
the
favour
,
nor
parts
,
nor
garments
of
a
Virgin
;
and
Christ
the
Bridegroom
they
have
deeply
wronged
,
for
many
false
Sects
have
risen
out
of
the
great
Whore
,
the
mother
of
Harlots
,
who
hath
been
in
open
and
secret
Fornication
,
ever
since
the
days
of
the
Apostles
,
and
such
are
her
off-spring
,
and
not
of
the
true
Seed
,
elect
,
which
is
heir
by
right
,
of
the
inheritance
of
Life
eternal
,
the
Kingdom
which
hath
no
end
.
And
for
as
much
as
the
Church
of
Rome
hath
openly
pleaded
,
as
we
have
heard
,
and
some
of
your
Members
also
to
our
faces
,
that
she
is
indeed
the
true
Church
,
and
she
alone
,
and
none
besides
,
and
that
you
can
fetch
your
original
by
line
truly
from
the
Apostles
,
and
Church
of
the
Saints
,
and
are
not
degenerated
in
any
particular
of
Faith
,
Doctrine
,
nor
Practise
,
from
the
Life
,
and
Power
,
and
Government
,
and
Spirit
which
was
among
the
true
Church
,
and
in
the
Apostles
.
These
things
,
with
others
the
like
,
have
we
heard
of
you
,
and
concerning
you
,
by
many
:
And
now
,
because
the
Lord
hath
put
it
into
our
hearts
,
to
have
controversie
with
you
,
and
to
seek
out
perfectly
your
original
,
and
to
justifie
you
,
or
condemn
you
accordingly
;
and
having
the
certain
infallible
Spirit
of
the
Lord
God
to
try
all
things
,
we
are
purposed
in
the
Lord
to
visit
you
,
and
to
examine
to
the
Foundation
,
your
rise
,
and
first
beginning
,
from
whence
you
come
by
descent
,
and
what
you
truly
are
in
your
present
Estate
;
and
whether
you
be
indeed
the
true
Church
,
and
have
the
true
Spirit
;
or
whether
you
are
otherwise
;
that
all
the
World
may
be
satisfied
,
and
more
perfectly
know
the
full
Truth
concerning
the
Church
of
Rome
;
and
your
Seed
and
Root
we
will
examine
,
and
your
Birth
and
Original
we
will
search
out
;
and
your
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
whole
Religion
we
will
lay
to
the
Line
of
true
Judgement
,
to
justifie
you
,
or
condemn
you
eternally
;
for
the
Saints
shall
judge
the
World
;
and
your
Garments
shall
be
stripped
off
,
and
your
Secrets
discovered
,
and
your
whole
Body
,
and
Members
made
fully
manifest
,
that
the
very
truth
of
all
things
may
appear
,
and
be
embraced
,
and
the
Whoredoms
of
the
whole
Earth
may
be
laid
open
,
that
the
Just
and
the
Innocent
,
that
hath
long
lain
groaning
in
great
Captivity
,
may
be
delivered
from
under
all
Bonds
of
Oppressions
,
Whoredoms
,
and
Iniquities
;
and
this
will
the
Eternal
God
,
by
us
,
speedily
bring
to
pass
amongst
you
.
Wherefore
thou
Pope
,
greatly
admired
,
and
highly
exalted
,
and
to
all
thy
Cardinals
,
Friers
,
Iesuits
,
and
Priests
,
and
all
other
Officers
under
thee
;
I
am
moved
of
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
(
who
is
the
only
Holiness
,
and
highest
of
all
)
by
this
Message
to
visit
you
,
requiring
you
,
and
charging
you
,
in
the
Name
and
Authority
of
the
Dreadfull
and
Mighty
God
,
before
whom
all
men
and
Nations
are
as
nothing
in
comparison
,
but
may
be
turned
at
his
pleasure
,
and
dashed
to
pieces
by
his
Mighty
Hand
;
and
unto
whom
all
the
Sons
of
Adam
in
the
World
must
give
an
Account
:
and
as
you
will
answer
it
to
him
i●
his
dreadful
Day
of
Judgment
and
Vengeance
,
and
as
you
love
and
will
obey
your
God
and
Christ
whom
you
profess
and
serve
;
and
as
you
would
honour
your
God
,
and
bring
People
to
your
Way
and
Worship
,
and
Religion
,
upon
these
Ingagements
,
and
by
the
Authority
of
the
Almighty
,
I
lay
it
upon
you
to
answer
,
and
for
you
to
return
your
knowledge
and
opinions
to
the
Particulars
following
,
which
I
am
moved
by
the
Lord
to
query
and
demand
of
you
,
that
your
Doctrines
,
Practises
,
and
Worships
,
and
whole
Religion
,
in
every
part
thereof
,
may
be
viewed
,
and
examined
,
and
measured
according
to
the
Saints
and
Apostles
writings
,
and
may
thereby
be
cleared
,
or
otherwise
reproved
and
condemned
:
And
if
your
Profession
and
Practises
in
Religion
be
sprung
from
the
true
Grounds
,
and
true
Spirit
,
and
your
Church
be
indeed
the
true
Church
,
that
can
prove
her
pedigree
truly
descended
from
the
Church
of
Christ
,
before
the
Apostacy
,
and
clear
her self
from
all
degeneration
in
every
degree
,
and
that
she
is
perfect
in
the
faith
,
and
worship
,
and
practises
of
the
holy
Church
and
Apostles
of
old
;
then
shall
all
that
love
God
,
and
fear
him
,
and
hopes
for
life
eternal
,
separate
themselves
from
all
Sects
,
and
Apostates
,
separated
from
you
,
and
come
in
,
and
return
again
to
you
,
as
to
a
faithful
Mother
,
and
joyn
with
you
in
all
things
,
and
add
themselves
to
your
Church
only
,
and
renounce
and
deny
all
the
contrary
,
that
is
not
of
you
;
and
so
shall
your
names
and
honour
be
increased
through
all
the
Earth
.
But
and
if
after
lawful
trial
,
and
just
examination
,
and
searching
out
the
matter
,
it
be
proved
against
you
,
that
you
are
degenerated
from
what
the
true
Church
and
Apostles
were
,
and
are
not
builded
upon
Christ
the
true
Rock
and
Foundation
,
but
diverted
from
the
Power
,
Life
,
and
Spirit
,
and
true
Religion
which
the
Apostles
were
in
;
and
that
your
Church
is
not
the
true
Church
,
but
a
false
Sect
,
and
your
original
cannot
be
fetch'd
from
the
Apostles
,
but
is
of
a
latter
and
more
corrupted
Race
;
then
shall
you
deny
all
your
Religion
,
and
Church
,
and
renounce
your
Profession
and
Practises
,
and
come
to
them
,
and
joyn
with
them
,
that
can
prove
their
Church
to
be
the
true
Church
,
and
can
fetch
their
original
from
the
Spirit
of
the
Apostles
,
and
that
is
builded
upon
Christ
the
everlasting
Foundation
(
whoever
this
shall
be
proved
to
be
)
wherefore
appear
and
come
forth
to
trial
,
upon
this
condition
,
joyn
issue
with
us
,
and
answer
these
things
in
plainness
,
and
let
us
know
your
Judgements
,
that
a
return
you
may
re●●ive
.
First
,
Whether
you
are
indeed
the
only
true
Church
of
Christ
,
his
Body
,
of
〈◊〉
Fle●●
,
and
of
his
Bones
,
called
,
and
gathered
,
and
united
by
the
eter●…
Spirit
of
Jesus
,
perfect
in
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
perfect
in
Doctrine
,
and
perfect
is
●…ip
,
as
were
the
Churches
of
Christ
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
?
and
〈◊〉
the
Eternal
Spirit
dwell
in
every
particular
Member
of
your
Church
,
and
doth
lead
each
one
of
you
into
all
Truth
,
insomuch
that
you
need
now
no
〈…〉
teach
any
one
of
you
,
but
as
that
same
Spirit
that
dwells
in
you
?
answer
〈◊〉
●…inly
,
yea
,
o●
nay
.
2.
●…ther
are
you
not
in
any
particular
of
your
Faith
,
Doctrines
,
Pra●…
Worships
,
in
any
degree
degenerated
,
nor
deviated
from
what
the
〈◊〉
,
●…ne
,
Practice
and
Worship
were
,
that
the
true
Church
was
in
,
in
〈…〉
the
Apostles
?
And
whether
will
you
admit
of
tryal
in
all
things
you
p●…
and
practice
,
by
the
Scriptures
,
the
Writings
of
the
Saints
,
yea
,
or
●y
?
3.
W●…ther
your
Church
of
Rome
doth
receive
the
pouring-down
of
the
Spirit
upon
Sons
and
Daughters
immediately
,
and
every
Member
receive
the
Holy

,
and
is
●●lled
therewith
,
and
baptized
therewith
,
as
in
the
true
C●…
Acts
z.
An●
whether
you
have
received
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
Eve●…
Comforter
immediately
,
as
did
the
true
Church
,
i●
the
dayes
of
the
Apost●…
Answer
me
these
things
in
the
Truth
of
your
Hearts
,
that
you
may
be
own'●…
〈◊〉
denyed
.
4.
W●…er
the
Faith
you
profess
hath
perfectly
purified
your
hearts
from
all
〈◊〉
and
hath
given
you
Victory
over
the
World
,
that
now
the
body
of
sin
is
〈◊〉
;
and
you
are
free
from
sin
,
and
do
not
commit
sin
?
but
are
every
Mem●…
〈◊〉
you
without
Spot
and
Wrinkle
,
and
cleansed
from
all
Unrighteousness
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Servants
of
Righteousness
,
and
not
of
Sin
?
and
whether
you
believe
〈◊〉
Condition
to
be
attainable
in
this
life
upon
Earth
,
and
to
be
enjoyed
,
and
●…d
for
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
5.
What
is
your
ground
of
sprinkling
Infants
with
Water
?
and
whether
he
th●●●…st
instituted
it
,
had
the
Gift
of
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
and
was
led
thereby
?
for
we
know
it
was
first
ordain'd
at
Rome
,
in
your
Church
;
and
all
the
Protestants
received
it
from
you
,
who
are
not
able
to
give
us
a
sufficient
Reason
thereof
;
but
we
are
not
satisfied
therein
;
therefore
tell
us
,
Whether
are
people
thereby
made
Me●…rs
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
and
baptized
into
his
true
Church
?
and
is
it
a
perfect
Seal
and
Sign
of
the
new
Birth
,
and
Regeneration
,
as
is
professed
?
and
doth
that
give
all
Children
,
that
are
sprinkled
,
a
Right
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
to
be
Members
of
the
Church
of
Christ
?
and
satisfie
us
plainly
,
Is
the
sprinkling
of
an
Infant
(
never
having
heard
the
Gospel
,
but
while
unconverted
and
●●thanged
in
Nature
)
the
true
Baptism
into
the
true
Faith
of
Christ
,
as
it
is
professed
?
answer
me
plainly
,
yea
,
or
nay
.
6.
Whether
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Christ
,
that
is
Meat
indeed
,
and
Drink
indeed
,
be
carnal
and
visible
things
,
to
be
seen
,
felt
and
known
visibly
and
carnally
?
and
whether
Bread
and
Wine
(
that
is
Mortal
,
and
will
corrupt
)
be
the
very
Body
and
the
very
Blood
of
Christ
Jesus
?
and
whether
Christ
hath
any
other
Body
and
Blood
,
to
be
known
in
any
other
way
or
manner
then
what
is
professed
to
be
visibly
and
carnally
known
by
you
?
and
is
that
Bread
,
after
Consecration
,
the
very
Express
Image
of
the
Father
,
and
was
with
the
Fathe●
before
the
World
began
?
else
it
is
not
the
Body
of
Christ
:
answer
me
plainly
.
7.
Again
,
We
are
not
satisfied
concerning
your
Burning
,
and
Torturing
,
and
Imprisoning
in
cruel
Inquisitions
and
Goals
such
as
dissent
from
you
,
and
cannot
believe
in
your
Church
,
which
ye
call
Hereticks
;
whether
is
not
this
done
by
your
Church
,
or
any
Member
thereof
?
and
do
you
justifie
the
doing
of
it
by
the
Authority
of
your
Church
?
and
we
demand
of
you
to
give
us
Example
for
such
Practices
in
Scripture
,
ever
Practised
by
the
Apostles
,
or
true
Church
,
or
any
Member
thereof
,
to
Burn
,
or
Kill
,
or
Impris●●
such
as
would
not
own
them
,
or
were
Hereticks
?
otherwise
,
we
must
co●…
it
,
and
judge
you
eternally
for
it
:
And
whether
such
Practices
,
done
a●
〈◊〉
,
and
in
her
Dominions
,
be
not
Murder
,
and
Cruelty
,
and
Tyranny
,
〈◊〉
shedding
of
Innocent
Blood
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
the
Wicked
One
?
〈◊〉
me
plainly
,
and
satisfie
us
herein
,
that
we
may
know
how
to
deal
with
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
controversie
.
8.
Again
,
We
are
not
satisfied
concerning
the
abundance
of
〈◊〉
of
the
Saints
,
set
up
,
and
bowed
to
amongst
you
;
and
your
praying
〈◊〉
them
,
and
to
the
Saints
,
and
by
Beads
,
and
in
Set-Forms
;
such
th●…
〈◊〉
practice
;
and
also
your
keeping
and
setting
apart
the
Saints
dayes
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Holy-dayes
,
and
eating
with
respect
to
dayes
,
denying
of
Flesh
such
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
dayes
,
and
observing
of
Dayes
,
and
Meats
and
Drinks
,
and
Fasting
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
own
wills
,
and
your
Nunneries
,
and
keeping
Men
and
Women
one
fr●●●…ther
in
secret
Houses
;
whether
are
these
things
commanded
and
required
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Lord
from
you
?
and
we
charge
you
to
give
us
some
Example
,
that
〈◊〉
true
Church
practized
such
things
;
otherwise
,
if
you
do
not
,
not
ca●●●
〈◊〉
these
your
practices
from
the
Scriptures
,
and
Example
of
the
Apo●…
〈◊〉
you
,
we
must
deny
you
,
and
condemn
your
practi●es
forever
;
and
〈◊〉

,
that
your
Church
is
the
true
Church

nor

He

his

What

I

Vengeance

my

my
Eye

I
will
〈…〉
rend

and
give

the

your
〈…〉ings

Innocent
Blood
cries
unto
me
,
that

been
unjustly
shed
,
〈…〉
Righteous
Soul
groans
under
the
Altar
unto
me
;
and
now
I
am
risen

〈…〉
begun
to
work
in
the
Earth
;
and
I
will
go
through
Nations
,

〈…〉
down

I

which
shall

and
my
Power
shall
knock
at

break

Oh

who

been
able

make
War

Thou
hast
swallowed

Needy

thou
hast
eaten
up
the
Innocent

as
the

Honour

exalted
thy self

But
now
saith
〈…〉
the
Dread

shall
come
upon
thee

and
the
Majesty
of
〈…〉
of

thou

there
〈…〉
that

vex
all

Displeasure

〈…〉
break

none

bind

Thy
glory
,
and
th●
glory
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
whole
Earth
,
is
as
Grass
before
the
Mower
,
and
as
the
Flower
of
the
Field
,
that
〈◊〉
soon
withered
;
and
thy
treasure
,
and
the
treasure
of
all
Nations
,
is
of
no
respect
unto
him
;
the
Strength
of
the
whole
Earth
is
Weakness
before
him
,
and
the
Crowns
of
Princes
he
accounteth
as
the
Dust
;
he
treadeth
over
it
all
,
and
his
Everlasting
Arm
reacheth
beyond
it
all
;
and
he
is
awakened
,
that
will
strike
through
Kingdoms
,
and
that
will
stain
the
glory
of
the
whole
Earth
,
and
tho●
must
know
his
Power
;
and
the
Cup
of
his
Wrath
is
full
,
of
which
all
Nations
shall
drink
,
and
none
shall
escape
it
:
Prepare
thy self
;
for
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
is
gone
forth
;
and
the
Almighty
is
grieved
,
because
of
the
Abominations
of
the
Earth
;
and
he
will
cast
into
the
Fire
,
and
purge
,
and
purifie
,
and
new
mold
and
correct
Rulers
,
Kings
and
Peoples
;
for
he
hath
long
been
grieved
,
and
born
the
Iniquity
of
the
Nations
;
but
his
Long-suffering
is
well-nigh
finished
;
for
the
Nations
have
provoked
him
to
Anger
,
and
turned
his
Long-suffering
into
Fury
,
and
he
hath
put
on
the
Garment
of
Vengeance
;
and
the
time
is
at
hand
,
that
Sorrow
shall
take
hold
on
the
Stout-hearted
,
when
he
appears
,
who
hath
been
pierced
;
and
Anguish
and
Pain
shall
come
upon
thee
,
and
the
World
;
and
the
Day
of
Trouble
and
great
Distress
ye
shall
not
escape
;
the
Rod
of
his
Wrath
shall
smite
you
:
The
Mouth
of
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
.
And
although
thou
art
exalted
as
a
God
,
yet
thou
shalt
be
a
Man
,
and
not
a
God
in
his
Hand
,
that
shall
slay
thee
:
and
although
thy
Seat
has
been
high
,
yet
it
shall
be
laid
low
as
the
Ground
,
and
thy
Honour
shall
be
laid
in
the
Dust
;
for
thou
art
Dust
and
Ashes
before
the
Lord
,
and
thou
shalt
be
no
more
admired
,
when
Destruction
shall
come
upon
thee
:
The
Lord
hath
viewed
thy
Way
and
Path
,
and
they
have
not
been
upright
before
him
;
he
hath
entred
into
the
Secrets
of
thine
Heart
,
and
thy
intent
hath
not
been
hid
from
him
,
and
that
which
hath
been
done
in
secret
shall
now
be
laid
open
,
and
all
secret
things
shall
now
be
brought
to
Light
;
and
all
the
Churches
shall
know
,
that
he
searches
the
Heart
,
and
tries
the
Reins
,
who
is
a
God
,
Great
and
M●…ty
,
and
giveth
unto
all
Creatures
Life
and
Breath
;
and
he
will
change
at
〈◊〉
〈…〉
all
the
Children
of
Men
,
and
bring
them
to
an
Account
before
his
〈…〉
Seat
:
wherefore
let
all
Flesh
tremble
before
him
,
and
let
all
the
earth
〈…〉
〈…〉
his
Presence
,
who
changeth
,
and
subdueth
and
over-turneth
at
his
P●…

brings

to
destruction
who
have
rebell'd

A
1659
FAITHFUL
TESTIMONY
,
Concerning
the
True
Worship
OF
GOD
:
What
it
is
in
it self
,
and
who
are
the
True
WORSHIPPERS
.
In
Opposition
to
all
the
False
Worship
in
this
Nation
,
which
is
Idolatry
,
which
is
discover'd
in
its
Foundation
,
and
in
its
Manifestation
,
not
to
be
ever
commanded
of
God
,
or
practized
by
his
Apostles
and
Saints
;
but
it
is
declar'd
to
consist
chiefly
of
such
things
and
practices
as
had
their
first
Beginning
and
Ordination
in
the
Church
of
Rome
;
whereby
the
Hypocrisie
of
this
Generation
doth
appear
,
in
denying
,
and
crying
against
the
Papists
Idolatries
,
and
yet
are
found
in
the
practice
of
the
same
thing
in
their
Church
,
Ministry
and
Worship
,
which
were
first
instituted
by
the
Pope's
Authority
.
FOrasmuch
as
there
is
in
the
World
a
great
Controversie
among
people
,
concerning
the
Worship
of
God
;
one
crying
,
This
is
the
right
Worship
;
another
,
That
is
the
right
Worship
:
And
people
in
these
Nations
are
divided
about
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
divers
one
from
another
in
their
Performances
and
Practices
of
Worship
;
one
sort
worshipping
after
this
manner
,
another
after
that
;
and
there
is
great
strife
through
the
whole
Nation
about
this
matter
,
and
a
great
dis-satisfaction
among
people
,
which
is
the
right
Worship
,
and
who
are
the
right
Worshippers
;
and
Thousands
are
desiring
after
the
right
Worship
of
God
,
and
to
become
Worshippers
of
him
as
he
requires
:
Therefore
now
it
is
upon
me
to
shew
unto
all
the
World
,
what
the
true
Worship
of
God
is
in
it self
,
and
who
are
his
true
Worshippers
.
First
,
The
Worship
of
God
in
it self
is
this
,
It
is
a
walking
with
God
,
and
a
living
with
him
in
Converse
and
Fellowship
,
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
for
he
is
only
worshipped
therein
;
and
to
do
the
Truth
,
and
speak
the
Truth
:
This
is
the
True
Worship
of
God
,
where
the
Mind
is
guided
with
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
felt
at
all
times
,
and
his
Fear
in
the
Hearts
of
people
,
and
his
Councel
stood
in
,
and
his
Covenant
felt
,
which
unites
to
the
Lord
in
Spirit
;
this
is
the
True
Worship
of
God
;
and
it
is
without
respect
of
times
or
things
.
And
now
none
upon
Earth
can
thus
worship
God
,
but
who
are
changed
and
renewed
in
heart
and
mind
,
and
born
of
the
Spirit
,
and
led
thereby
,
where
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
is
put
off
,
such
as
are
redeemed
out
of
the
World
,
and
out
of
all
its
wayes
and
nature
;
such
only
can
worship
God
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
,
and
such
is
the
Father
seeking
to
worship
him
now
in
this
present
Age
:
And
there
is
never
a
one
upon
Earth
,
that
can
worship
God
as
he
requireth
,
who
remain
unchanged
,
and
are
in
the
Transgression
,
unrenewed
and
unconverted
,
such
cannot
worship
the
True
and
Living
God
;
but
that
which
they
perform
and
practice
,
as
the
Pretence
of
his
Worship
,
is
Idolatry
and
Abomination
,
and
the
Lord
hath
not
required
it
at
their
hands
;
for
none
can
walk
with
God
,
nor
have
unity
with
him
,
but
who
are
renewed
and
changed
;
nor
none
can
do
the
Truth
,
and
speak
the
Truth
in
all
things
,
but
such
who
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
;
and
such
are
in
the
Covenant
of
God
,
and
true
Worshippers
of
him
;
and
all
that
is
contrary
,
is
not
the
Worship
of
God
,
but
Idolatry
,
as
I
have
said
.
And
now
as
concerning
this
Worship
practiced
in
England
,
in
these
Steeple-Houses
,
Churches
(
so
called
)
it
is
not
the
Worship
of
the
Living
God
,
but
Superstition
and
Idolatry
;
for
people
have
not
learned
it
by
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
,
neither
doth
the
Spirit
lead
them
therein
;
but
it
standeth
in
Form
,
without
Power
,
and
in
the
Inventions
and
Traditions
of
the
Fathers
;
and
there
is
not
in
it
the
manifest
Presence
of
God
,
neither
do
you
Worshippers
meet
with
the
Lord
,
nor
enjoy
his
pure
Life
and
Presence
in
your
Practices
;
and
the
substance
of
your
Worship
(
as
it
is
now
practized
)
is
made
up
of
Inventions
,
some
part
of
your
own
,
and
some
part
brought
along
from
the
church
of
Rome
.
And
is
it
not
great
Hypocrisie
in
you
,
to
profess
a
denyal
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
yet
be
found
practizing
some
of
the
same
things
as
your
Worship
,
which
the
Church
of
Rome
first
instituted
,
and
practized
as
her
Worship
?
Shall
we
instance
unto
you
some
particular
things
?
Was
it
not
by
the
Authority
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
that
these
Houses
,
in
which
you
worship
,
which
you
call
Churches
,
were
first
set
up
,
and
made
Worshipping-places
for
them
?
And
is
it
not
a
little
while
since
that
the
Mass
,
and
old
Popish
stuff
,
was
therein
exercised
with
as
great
Zeal
towards
God
(
if
not
with
as
good
Sincerity
)
as
you
practice
yours
at
this
day
?
And
are
there
not
the
very
Signs
and
Symptoms
of
the
Romish
Idolatry
yet
upon
these
Houses
,
being
full
of
Images
on
the
Walls
,
and
on
the
Pillars
,
and
on
the
Glass-Windows
,
and
Crosses
about
them
,
and
many
other
things
,
which
were
Popish
Inventions
;
as
also
,
the
Names
given
unto
them
,
and
consecrated
Bells
in
them
,
and
such
like
stuff
?
And
was
it
not
a
little
while
since
there
were
the
Altars
,
and
the
Rails
,
and
the
Font
,
and
other
such
like
things
,
which
lately
were
broken
down
?
But
however
,
though
something
there
may
be
altered
,
and
changed
,
and
converted
to
another
use
,
and
something
taken
away
,
and
other
Inventions
brought
in
instead
thereof
,
yet
still
they
are
the
same
Houses
which
you
worship
your
Godd
in
;
which
Houses
were
set
up
by
the
Authority
of
the
Pope
;
and
there
remaineth
yet
the
Pope's
Sign
and
Symptom
of
the
Romish
Church
upon
them
;
and
these
Houses
you
call
your
Churches
;
and
Thousand
of
Thousands
of
blind
ignorant
people
,
esteeming
and
respecting
in
their
minds
of
these
Places
,
more
then
of
any
other
,
supposing
them
to
be
more
holy
,
and
that
other
Places
are
not
so
good
to
worship
in
.
Alas
!
poor
,
blind
,
ignorant
people
,
that
deceive
your
own
Souls
in
the
Traditions
and
Inventions
of
man
,
which
you
live
in
the
practice
of
,
supposing
it
to
be
the
very
Worship
of
God
,
which
is
no
other
in
it self
but
Idolatry
,
and
you
Idolaters
;
for
,
do
not
all
Unconverted
People
,
and
Unrighteous
People
,
such
who
are
not
taught
of
the
Lord
,
nor
led
by
his
Spirit
,
but
daily
rush
into
Iniquity
,
and
into
evil
;
are
not
such
found
Worshippers
here
in
Steeple-Houses
,
conforming
themselves
to
these
things
,
and
these
practices
?
And
can
such
worship
God
?
Or
is
God
worshipped
by
such
?
I
tell
you
nay
;
the
Lord
God
is
pure
,
and
they
that
worship
him
must
be
sanctified
,
and
led
by
his
Spirit
,
which
leadeth
into
all
Truth
.
But
now
,
as
concerning
your
present
Practices
,
which
your
Worship
consisteth
of
;
they
are
not
such
as
ever
the
Lord
instituted
,
but
such
as
men
have
set
up
in
their
own
wills
and
wisdom
,
and
not
in
the
Lord's
:
As
for
your
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
which
is
a
chief
Practice
of
your
Worship
;
was
not
this
first
ordained
at
Rome
?
read
the
Records
:
And
was
it
not
a
Popish
Invention
,
which
you
are
thus
zealously
reforming
,
as
if
it
were
indeed
required
of
the
Lord
?
Can
the
Unconverted
and
Unregenerated
be
truly
baptized
into
the
Faith
of
Christ
?
No
:
But
the
Unconverted
and
Unregenerated
are
Partakers
of
your
Baptism
,
into
the
Faith
which
you
profess
.
There
was
no
such
practice
in
the
Christian
Church
,
before
the
Apostacy
;
but
when
the
Apostacy
came
in
,
then
came
up
these
Inventions
&
Immitations
,
which
you
practice
as
the
Worship
of
God
,
when
as
he
never
required
it
;
neither
did
his
Saints
,
and
his
Apostles
,
ever
give
you
Example
for
it
;
and
by
it
,
nor
in
it
God
is
not
worhsipped
;
neither
is
in
it self
,
nor
as
practized
by
you
,
any
part
of
the
Worship
of
God
;
but
stands
in
the
Inventions
of
man
,
and
is
after
their
Traditions
,
and
not
after
the
Commandments
of
the
Lord
.
And
as
for
your
singing
of
David's
Experiences
in
the
form
and
manner
as
you
do
,
practizing
it
as
another
main
part
of
your
Worship
;
This
is
the
same
with
the
former
,
neither
ever
commanded
of
the
Lord
;
nor
(
in
the
course
and
manner
as
you
do
it
)
was
it
ever
practized
by
the
Saints
of
old
;
and
is
it
any
better
then
a
Popish
Invention
?
For
was
the
Nation
in
any
better
state
then
Popery
,
when
that
practice
was
first
instituted
,
and
begun
to
be
performed
?
you
your selves
will
confess
,
that
it
was
in
the
time
of
Darkness
,
and
through
the
Ordination
of
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
,
whom
you
your selves
say
,
were
little
better
then
Papists
in
their
Worship
and
Practice
;
and
yet
this
you
practice
at
this
day
,
as
a
part
of
your
Worship
,
which
hath
no
better
beginning
then
as
I
have
said
;
and
from
them
you
have
received
it
,
to
wit
,
From
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
:
Yea
,
the
chief
part
of
your
Worship
consisteth
of
the
performances
of
such
things
as
you
have
received
Traditionally
from
them
,
and
from
Rome
;
for
all
these
things
they
instituted
.
And
as
concerning
your
Ministry
;
Is
it
any
other
with
that
,
then
with
these
particulars
,
as
I
have
mentioned
?
Is
it
not
the
same
Ministry
in
substance
,
though
in
some
particulars
altered
,
as
was
in
the
dayes
of
Popery
and
Prelacy
?
Have
not
your
Ministers
the
same
Call
to
their
Ministry
,
Practice
in
their
Ministry
,
&
Maintenance
at
this
day
,
as
was
in
Generations
past
,
when
this
Nation
was
under
the
cloud
of
darkness
&
Ignorance
,
as
your selves
will
confess
?
are
not
they
made
Ministers
now
by
natural
Learning
,
receiving
Ordination
from
man
,
through
the
attainments
of
such
Arts
,
and
Sciences
and
Degrees
,
through
natural
Learning
and
humane
Policy
,
not
having
their
Ministry
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
no
more
then
the
Papists
and
Prelates
had
before
them
,
who
were
made
Ministers
by
the
same
Power
,
and
after
the
same
manner
,
as
these
are
.
And
it
was
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
by
the
Popish
Authority
,
that
Colledges
and
Schools
,
to
make
Ministers
by
them
,
were
first
ordained
and
set
up
;
and
as
that
Ministry
was
sent
forth
in
the
time
of
Popery
,
by
the
same
way
and
means
(
generally
are
as
to
substance
)
are
your
Ministers
now
sent
forth
,
though
in
some
particulars
differing
in
matters
of
Form
,
yet
the
same
for
substance
:
But
Christ's
Ministers
,
in
the
time
of
the
true
Church
,
were
not
thus
sent
forth
,
but
had
received
Power
from
on
High
,
and
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
whereby
they
were
made
able
Ministers
;
and
not
by
any
other
thing
,
nor
by
any
such
means
or
way
as
your
Ministers
now
are
set
up
and
established
:
and
this
Ministry
is
differing
from
the
true
Ministry
,
which
Christ
sent
forth
,
and
is
not
according
,
but
contrary
in
all
things
;
and
it
is
not
the
Ministry
of
God
,
neither
brings
people
to
God
;
for
by
this
Ministry
people
are
not
converted
;
but
are
such
as
they
that
the
true
Prophet
cryed
against
,
saying
,
They
have
run
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
I
have
not
sent
them
;
therefore
they
shall
not
profit
the
People
at
all
.
And
as
for
this
Maintenance
of
the
Ministry
of
the
Church
of
England
;
is
it
not
the
same
as
was
in
the
dayes
of
Popery
and
Prelacy
?
was
it
not
by
the
Pope's
Authority
,
that
Tythes
were
first
established
,
and
set
up
to
be
the
Maintenance
of
his
Ministry
?
And
did
not
the
Romish
Church
first
ordain
,
that
the
people
should
give
the
tenth
to
the
use
of
Religion
,
and
to
maintain
their
Ministry
?
if
you
search
the
Records
,
you
will
find
it
so
.
And
was
it
not
the
very
practice
of
the
Papists
and
Prelates
Ministers
,
to
have
Hire
,
and
great
sums
of
Money
by
the
Year
,
and
Stipends
,
and
large
Benefits
for
preaching
?
and
the
same
things
are
practised
by
these
Ministers
,
which
they
have
borrowed
from
the
Papists
and
Prelates
,
which
went
before
them
;
for
are
not
these
Ministers
maintained
by
Tythes
,
as
the
Pope's
Ministers
were
?
And
have
they
not
Hire
,
and
great
sums
of
Money
by
the
Year
,
or
Quarterly
,
even
as
the
Papists
and
Prelates
had
?
Wherefore
it
is
plain
,
that
the
Maintenance
of
your
Ministers
is
the
very
same
for
substance
,
as
theirs
was
that
went
before
you
,
which
you
your selves
say
were
Idolaters
;
and
if
they
were
Idolaters
,
how
can
your
Ministers
be
free
,
which
do
practice
the
very
same
things
,
unto
the
very
fame
end
?
And
do
not
the
Priests
of
this
Generation
far
exceed
the
Papists
and
Prelates
.
Was
there
ever
,
in
Generations
past
,
such
casting
people
into
Prison
,
and
spoiling
peoples
Goods
,
as
is
at
this
day
,
through
the
means
of
these
Priests
,
and
all
about
their
Maintenance
,
and
for
their
Tythes
,
and
Hire
,
and
yearly
Stipends
,
and
quarterly
Gain
?
Did
ever
the
Papists
or
Prelates
worse
in
this
particular
,
with
any
people
that
denyed
them
Wages
,
then
these
do
that
denyed
them
.
Oh!
great
Blindness
and
Ignorance
is
over
your
hearts
,
and
great
Hypocrisie
among
your
Ministers
,
who
profess
a
Denyal
and
Dissenting
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
cry
against
them
,
as
Hereticks
,
and
that
they
are
in
Ignorance
,
and
yet
practice
the
very
same
things
:
Their
Call
is
the
very
same
to
their
Ministry
,
and
their
Maintenance
the
same
,
and
Practice
in
many
things
the
very
same
as
theirs
was
,
which
they
seem
to
deny
;
and
this
is
great
Hypocrisie
,
to
cast
out
and
kill
their
Persons
,
and
yet
to
uphold
in
many
things
their
practice
,
relating
to
their
Worship
and
their
Ministry
.
Oh
abominable
Idolatry
!
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
against
it
.
But
this
is
not
the
way
that
Christ's
Ministers
were
maintained
;
they
had
no
such
Hire
,
nor
great
Sums
of
Money
,
nor
yearly
Tythes
,
as
these
Ministers
have
through
the
Pope's
Institution
;
But
into
whatsoever
House
they
entred
,
that
was
worthy
,
they
might
eat
such
things
as
were
set
before
them
;
and
the
Apostles
might
freely
reap
carnal
things
,
where
they
had
sown
spiritual
things
;
but
this
was
after
another
manner
,
and
after
another
nature
;
for
if
they
had
not
that
,
yet
did
they
not
cast
men
into
Prison
,
and
spoil
their
Goods
that
would
not
give
it
them
,
as
this
Generation
of
Teachers
do
:
And
the
Lord
God
is
risen
to
confound
this
Worship
,
and
this
Ministry
,
which
is
Idolatry
;
and
this
Church
,
which
is
but
a
feigned
Immitation
:
and
he
will
establish
his
true
Worship
,
that
is
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
;
and
his
true
Ministry
,
that
is
by
the
Gift
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
and
his
true
Church
;
and
this
shall
be
brought
to
pass
in
his
Day
.
But
again
,
There
is
another
Practice
which
you
have
,
which
the
Church
of
Rome
and
the
Prelates
had
(
your
Predecessors
)
If
any
come
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
to
declare
against
you
,
and
against
your
Abomination
,
to
cry
against
your
Sin
,
and
cry
Repentance
among
you
,
that
you
may
be
converted
to
God
;
this
you
account
a
great
Transgression
,
and
persecute
them
that
do
it
,
by
Imprisoning
,
and
Whipping
,
and
Stocking
,
and
by
imposing
great
Fines
upon
them
,
and
causing
them
to
suffer
cruel
things
;
and
this
did
the
Papists
and
Prelates
,
in
like
manner
as
you
do
;
if
any
were
moved
to
cry
against
them
,
they
indeed
rewarded
them
,
even
as
you
do
at
this
day
;
the
same
thing
you
do
against
such
as
are
moved
of
the
Lord
to
come
among
you
;
and
herein
you
succeed
them
,
and
bring
forth
the
same
Persecution
in
your
Churches
,
as
they
did
in
their
Churches
;
and
this
is
the
defence
of
your
Church
,
and
of
your
Ministry
,
Carnal
Weapons
,
Imprisonment
,
and
Whipping
,
and
Stocking
,
and
causing
the
Bodies
of
people
to
suffer
through
Cruelty
and
Injustice
;
and
by
this
means
is
your
Church
and
Ministry
defended
and
preserved
;
or
otherwise
,
it
would
presently
fall
,
as
not
being
able
to
continue
,
nor
resist
,
nor
gain-say
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
,
which
now
is
risen
to
oppose
them
,
if
they
had
not
carnal
Laws
,
and
earthly
Powers
,
and
Goals
,
and
Houses
of
Correction
to
defend
themselves
by
:
And
is
this
the
Church
of
Christ
?
and
is
this
Christ's
Ministry
,
that
has
need
of
such
Weapons
as
these
?
The
Apostles
and
true
Churches
never
did
thus
,
neither
sent
people
to
Prison
that
opposed
them
,
nor
had
such
Cruelty
to
execute
upon
the
Bodies
of
people
,
though
many
did
oppose
them
out
of
Wickedness
;
but
the
Spirit
and
Authority
of
the
Lord
did
defend
them
from
all
their
Enemies
.
But
your
church
and
ministry
is
manifest
to
be
another
then
that
was
,
and
to
be
defended
by
another
means
,
even
by
the
same
means
that
the
Papists
and
Prelates
of
old
were
of
a
long
time
defended
by
;
but
when
the
measure
of
these
things
are
fulfilled
,
they
will
come
to
an
end
;
as
the
measure
of
that
Generation's
Iniquity
was
fulfilled
,
which
went
before
you
;
so
in
the
Lord's
season
will
your
measure
be
fulfilled
,
and
the
Lord's
People
shall
be
free
,
and
all
Bonds
of
Iniquity
broken
.
And
thus
it
is
manifest
,
that
this
Church
and
Ministry
succeeds
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
her
Ministers
,
far
more
then
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
its
true
Ministers
;
and
to
that
it
is
not
equal
in
any
thing
,
but
to
the
Church
of
Rome
it
is
comparable
in
many
things
:
so
that
it
is
manifest
,
that
this
Church
and
Ministry
is
not
quite
another
then
the
Church
and
Ministry
of
Rome
;
but
such
as
have
dissented
from
them
,
and
are
truly
sprung
out
of
that
Root
,
and
is
the
same
still
in
substance
,
though
differing
in
some
Practices
,
having
cast
out
some
old
Inventions
,
and
brought
in
some
new
;
but
,
as
I
have
said
,
remain
still
the
same
in
nature
and
substance
,
though
diffented
in
some
particulars
,
yet
succeed
in
many
particulars
,
as
I
may
shew
more
fully
hereafter
.
And
though
you
bare
the
Name
,
and
stile
your selves
,
The
Reformed
Churches
;
you
mean
,
reformed
from
the
Church
of
Rome
:
But
how
are
you
reformed
,
but
by
some
visible
Appearances
,
and
not
in
the
Ground
,
having
put
off
but
some
of
her
Garments
,
and
remain
the
same
Body
for
substance
in
nature
and
matter
,
though
differing
only
in
Appearances
?
For
,
the
Church
,
which
is
the
True
Church
of
Christ
,
is
not
thus
reformed
,
only
changed
in
part
,
and
altered
in
degrees
;
but
the
true
Church
denyeth
the
church
of
Rome
in
her
very
Beeing
and
Ground
,
and
in
all
her
Practices
whatsoever
;
for
,
though
many
Sects
have
risen
one
from
another
,
yet
all
the
same
for
substunce
,
only
differing
in
particulars
.
But
as
for
you
,
to
whom
this
Particular
is
written
,
that
Worship
God
in
Steeple-Houses
;
you
are
not
so
much
differing
from
the
church
of
Rome
,
as
many
others
are
,
which
are
not
true
Churches
neither
;
but
the
Lord
God
is
now
gathering
his
people
:
wherefore
,
come
out
of
your
Idol-Worship
,
and
Idol-Temples
,
for
God
dwells
not
in
them
,
nor
is
not
worshipped
there
,
but
he
dwells
and
walks
in
his
Saints
,
and
is
worshipped
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
;
and
his
Day
is
dawned
,
and
his
Glory
risen
,
and
he
will
confound
this
church
and
ministry
,
which
bears
the
Mark
of
the
Romish
Whore
,
and
have
her
Symptoms
and
Characters
remaining
upon
them
unto
this
day
,
as
it
is
manifest
.
Object
.
And
though
some
may
object
,
and
say
,
That
God
commanded
a
Temple
to
be
●●ilded
for
the
worship
of
his
Name
,
and
Ordinances
to
be
practised
in
the
time
of
the
old
Covenant
.
To
which
I
do
say
,
yea
,
it
was
so
,
a
Temple
was
builded
by
Solomon
for
the
Seed
of
the
Iews
to
worship
in
,
and
to
come
to
Sacrifice
to
the
Lord
in
,
and
there
was
an
outward
Worship
,
and
Ordinances
;
but
it
is
many
hundred
years
since
this
Temple
was
destroyed
,
and
Worship
and
Ordinances
thrown
down
,
which
God
once
commanded
,
and
his
people
once
practiced
;
and
Christ
the
Life
,
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
God
,
was
the
Substance
thereof
,
and
unto
whom
he
was
made
manifest
,
and
in
whom
he
was
revealed
in
the
Spirit
,
they
utterly
renounced
and
denied
the
Temple
,
and
the
worship
therein
,
though
once
God
had
commanded
it
;
and
the
Saints
after
the
manifesting
of
Christ
to
them
in
Spirit
,
and
after
that
the
Holy
Ghost
was
given
,
we
do
not
find
through
all
the
Churches
of
the
Saints
,
that
they
worshipped
in
the
Temple
of
the
Iews
;
but
witnessed
against
it
,
and
said
,
That
God
dwelt
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands
,
neither
was
he
worshipped
in
Temples
made
with
hands
;
but
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
their
Worship
consisted
,
and
therefore
were
persecuted
;
but
they
bare
Testimony
against
the
Temple
,
and
the
Worship
,
and
those
Ordinances
,
which
God
once
had
commanded
,
and
which
once
his
People
practized
,
though
it
was
to
the
peril
of
their
lives
.
But
as
for
these
Temples
,
and
these
Ordinances
,
and
this
Worship
,
which
are
now
on
foot
;
they
were
never
brought
forth
by
any
Ordination
or
Commandment
of
God
;
but
the
Foundation
of
them
is
the
Inventions
of
Men
,
and
Mens
Traditions
taught
them
,
and
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
and
therefore
against
those
things
,
those
Temples
,
and
those
Ordinances
and
Worships
,
much
reason
have
we
to
cry
against
them
all
,
as
being
neither
Sign
nor
Substance
of
good
,
but
wholly
Inventions
of
men
.
The
Iews
Temple
and
Ordinances
were
Signs
of
good
things
to
come
,
and
when
the
Substance
was
come
the
Saints
deny'd
the
Shaddows
and
the
Figures
;
but
as
for
these
,
they
are
deny'd
wholy
,
as
being
Idolatry
and
Abomination
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
of
them
;
for
,
as
I
have
shown
,
These
things
(
which
are
the
matter
of
which
your
Worship
and
Ordinance
doth
consist
)
had
their
rise
and
beginning
in
the
dayes
of
Darkness
and
Ignorance
,
since
the
Apostacy
came
in
:
and
so
,
in
the
Name
and
Authority
of
the
Lord
,
we
do
declare
against
them
,
even
against
your
Temples
and
whole
Worship
,
to
the
intent
,
to
bring
you
to
the
true
Worship
,
that
is
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
and
that
you
might
know
your
bodies
the
Temples
of
God
,
and
that
he
might
dwell
in
you
,
and
walk
in
you
,
according
as
be
hath
promised
in
the
New
Covenant
.
Wherefore
all
people
,
awake
,
and
come
out
of
your
Idolatry
,
and
idolatrous
Worships
;
separate
your selves
,
touch
no
more
of
it
,
that
the
Lord
may
receive
you
,
and
that
you
may
come
into
his
Covenant
,
which
is
Life
and
Peace
for
your
souls
;
for
in
those
Worships
,
and
Temples
,
and
all
your
Practices
therein
,
you
have
not
true
peace
with
the
Lord
,
nor
the
Refreshments
from
his
pure
Presence
;
but
Sin
and
Death
reigns
amongst
you
,
and
great
ignorance
is
over
your
hearts
,
and
Idolatry
corrupts
your
minds
,
and
the
Lord
hath
been
forgotten
by
you
dayes
without
number
:
God
is
not
well-pleased
,
neither
hath
any
delight
in
your
Worship
;
for
your
worship
of
him
,
and
fear
towards
him
,
is
but
taught
by
the
Precepts
of
men
,
and
by
the
Traditions
of
the
Fathers
,
in
the
dayes
of
Popery
;
and
if
ever
he
opens
your
Eyes
,
you
will
see
it
;
for
it
is
with
the
humble
and
contrite
in
heart
that
the
Lord
dwells
,
him
that
trembleth
at
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
whose
heart
is
right
in
his
sight
,
and
hath
learned
his
Judgments
and
Fear
;
and
such
as
are
changed
and
renewed
,
and
born
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
begotten
by
his
powerfull
Word
;
such
are
the
true
Worshippers
whom
the
Lord
is
seeking
,
and
such
will
he
find
to
worship
him
.
And
whereas
there
is
a
great
cry
amongst
you
,
and
among
many
people
at
this
day
,
about
Deceivers
,
and
being
deceived
;
you
say
,
and
your
Cry
is
one
to
another
,
Take
heed
you
be
not
deceived
,
by
false
Teachers
,
and
false
Doctrine
:
This
is
the
Cry
of
Parents
to
Children
,
and
Children
to
Parents
;
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
sters
to
Servants
,
and
of
Servants
to
Masters
;
and
chiefly
it
is
the
Cry
of
〈◊〉
Priests
to
the
people
,
Take
heed
yo●●
be
not
〈◊〉
,
&c.
Now
to
all
this
I
do
say
,
That
there
are
many
Deceivers
,
and
many
are
〈…〉
ved
,
this
is
certainly
true
,
and
plainly
manifest
:
But
now
,
to
shew
〈…〉
Deceiver
is
,
and
what
it
is
to
be
deceived
,
and
who
they
are
that
ar●
〈◊〉
ceived
.
First
,
That
is
a
Deceiver
,
that
Person
,
that
spirit
,
or
that
thing
that
〈…〉eth
or
inticeth
the
Minds
of
people
into
something
,
to
do
,
or
practce
,
〈◊〉
speak
something
which
the
Lord
by
his
Spirit
doth
not
lead
to
.
I
say
,
That
which
leads
the
Creature
to
take
up
a
Joy
,
or
a
Delight
,
〈…〉
Happiness
in
something
of
this
World
,
which
is
under
the
Sun
,
to
place
〈…〉
fidence
or
felicity
in
such
a
thing
;
that
which
thus
leadeth
or
draweth
the
〈…〉
whether
it
be
person
or
spirit
,
it
is
a
Deceiver
,
and
deceiveth
the
Soul
;
〈…〉
or
they
,
that
do
follow
this
,
and
give
up
themselves
into
the
obedience
〈…〉
to
do
,
or
speak
something
,
that
is
contrary
to
God
,
or
which
his
Spirit
〈…〉
not
lead
unto
,
nor
guide
in
;
this
person
is
deceived
of
the
Presence
of
the
〈◊〉
and
of
the
Comfort
,
and
Joy
,
and
Happiness
that
is
in
him
,
and
hath
ple●…
and
joy
in
something
of
the
Creation
,
that
is
not
of
him
,
but
besides
〈◊〉
and
this
Person
is
deceived
,
and
in
Deceit
,
who
hath
placed
a
Joy
,
and
Happi●…
and
Confidence
in
some
Creature
,
or
thing
,
that
is
not
perfectly
the
Lord
;
〈…〉
another
spirit
,
besides
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
hath
seated
it self
in
the
〈◊〉
and
taken
possession
of
the
Mind
,
and
the
Mind
and
Heart
is
thereby
ca●…ted
by
that
way
,
in
the
works
and
pleasures
of
this
World
;
and
this
is
a
●…ved
estate
:
and
thus
much
of
a
Deceiver
,
and
Deceiving
in
the
ground
,
in
〈◊〉
declared
.
But
now
,
You
that
are
crying
one
to
another
,
Be
not
deceived
,
be
not
〈◊〉
;
Are
you
not
such
as
are
deceived
already
,
and
lie
wallowing
in
the
Deceit
,
and
Vanity
,
and
Evil
of
this
World
?
For
,
while
sin
hath
power
over
you
,
and
that
Spirit
that
is
not
of
God
doth
lead
you
,
you
are
deceived
;
and
thus
it
is
with
you
,
being
unchanged
and
unrenewed
in
Mind
and
Heart
,
are
not
you
deceived
?
For
you
want
the
feeling
of
the
Presence
,
and
of
the
Comfort
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
you
are
deceived
of
that
,
for
that
you
have
not
;
and
another
thing
possesseth
your
minds
,
and
the
Joy
and
Pleasure
of
this
World
;
and
in
your
Exercise
,
spiritual
and
temporal
,
the
spirit
that
is
of
this
World
doth
lead
you
and
guide
you
,
the
spirit
of
Unrighteousness
,
that
leadeth
contrary
to
him
;
and
can
you
be
otherwayes
deceived
,
or
more
deceived
?
For
you
are
without
God
already
,
and
want
his
Peace
,
and
the
Inheritance
of
Life
Eternal
,
that
is
in
him
,
you
want
the
possession
thereof
;
and
you
are
following
dead
Idols
and
Vanities
,
which
steal
away
your
minds
,
whereby
it
is
manifest
that
you
are
deceived
:
For
,
all
people
upon
Earth
,
that
are
not
led
by
the
Spirit
into
all
Truth
;
that
have
not
received
the
Promise
of
the
Father
,
they
are
all
deceived
,
and
cannot
be
more
deceived
then
they
are
.
And
so
is
the
Cry
in
general
among
people
,
if
any
one
forsake
and
deny
their
way
of
Worship
,
and
Religion
,
and
Profession
,
be
it
of
what
manner
or
nature
soever
,
presently
there
is
a
Cry
,
(
chiefly
by
the
Priests
,
Take
heed
you
be
not
deceived
;
and
you
are
in
Heresie
,
and
Error
,
and
such
like
:
Thus
have
the
Papists
cryed
against
them
that
have
dissented
from
them
,
and
the
Prelates
cry'd
the
same
,
and
now
yo●
cry
the
same
to
them
that
dissent
from
you
:
But
your
Zeal
is
not
so
much
against
Heresie
and
Error
,
simply
so
,
as
it
is
to
have
your
own
Sect
and
Worship
upheld
,
and
against
them
that
do
dissent
from
you
;
and
it
hath
been
Antichrists
way
,
since
the
Apostacy
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
to
cry
,
Heresie
,
and
Error
,
and
you
are
deceived
,
to
all
that
did
decline
and
dissent
from
him
;
for
you
may
read
in
the
Scriptures
,
Power
was
given
to
the
Beast
,
to
compel
all
to
worship
him
,
and
all
that
would
not
,
he

So
〈…〉
doth
open

see
the

God
to
be
〈…〉
thing
,
then
you
suppose
it
;
you
cannot
be
educated
naturally
in
the
Worship
of
God
,
nor
learn
it
by
Traditions
;
for
it
stands
only
in
the
Spirit
,
and
is
taught
by
the
Spirit
unto
all
them
that
are
born
of
the
Spirit
;
and
who
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
be
born
of
that
,
are
the
true
Worshippers
of
God
,
in
which
the
Father
is
well
pleased
.
And
as
for
your
Worship
in
Steeple-Houses
,
God
hath
no
Delight
in
,
he
●…th
it
not
,
but
it
is
an
Abomination
to
him

it
is
not

be●…e
you
be
out
of
his
Spirit
,
and
worship
after
your
own
Traditions
,
〈…〉
after
his
Spirit
:
And
this
worship
hath
stood
all
this
long
time
of
An●…
,
while
the
Whore
and
the
Beast
hath
ruled
over
Nations
;
and
so
one
Tradition
after
another
hath
been
brought
in
,
and
one
false
Worship
hath
risen
out
of
another
;
and
what
people
have
had
,
it
hath
been
by
Tradition
,
and
not
from
the
immediate
Spirit
of
God
;
and
so
the
True
God
hath
not
been
wo●…d
in
his
Spirit
:
And
now
all
the
World
have
been
pleading
for
the●●
Traditions
,
and
they
be
in
respect
above
the
Commandments
of
God
,
among
ye
that
worship
in
Steeple-houses
;
you
are
even
mad
against
them
that
〈…〉
●…inst
the
Steeple-houses
,
and
plead
the
Antiquity
of
your
Worship
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
your
Traditions
and
Ordinances
;
now
they
are
ancient
,
even
as
anci●…●s
since
the
false
Prophets
and
Antichrist
came
in
,
and
did
put
on
the
Sh●…
Clothing
,
but
inwardly
ravening
Wolves
;
these
killed
the
Life
,
and
slew
the
Prophets
,
and
they
set
up
Inventions
of
their
own
:
and
your
Traditio●…
and
Worships
are
as
ancient
as
since
power
was
given
to
the
Beast
over
Kindreds
and
Peoples
;
and
the
Lord
God
is
bringing
down
your
Worship
,
the
Original
of
which
came
up
when
Antichrist
went
out
into
the
World
,
as
you
may
read
in
Iohn's
Epistle
,
and
so
you
may
plead
Antiquity
;
yet
not
as
ancient
as
the
True
Church
is
;
for
when
the
tru●
Churches
were
apostatized
,
then
came
up
your
Worship
,
and
your
many
Traditions
;
and
this
hath
been
while
the
Woman
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
the
Man-child
caught
up
to
God
,
which
when
the
Woman
returns
again
,
your
worship
&
ordinance
will
be
over-thrown
,
and
the
True
Worship
again
established
,
and
Liberty
;
but
first
you
must
know
the
Spirit
to
teach
you
,
before
you
can
worship
in
it
;
and
the
Spirit
must
purifie
your
Hearts
,
and
make
them
〈◊〉
before
you
can
offer
to
God
an
acceptable
Sacrifice
;
for
your
Sacrifices
are
not
acceptable
,
but
they
are
stained
and
polluted
in
the
fight
of
the
Lord
,
who
〈◊〉
hath
beheld
what
you
are
a
doing
;
and
you
are
in
that
which
his
Soul
hath
no
Pleasure
in
;
and
in
the
Day
of
your
●…ation
,
the
Witness
in
your
Consciences
shall
answer
it
:
so
you
are
to
know
God
by
his
Spirit
,
before
you
can
worship
him
;
the
Word
of
the
Lord
must
be
〈◊〉
in
your
H●●rt●
as

〈◊〉

So
all
you

Worshippers
,
you
are
called
,
that
you
may
return
,
and
may
come
into
the
True
Worship

Some
False
Principles
And
ERRORS
DISCOVERED
And
REFUTED
:
〈…〉
Answer
to
a
Catechism-Book
,
which
is
said
to
contain
,
The
Principles
of
Religion
;
put
forth
by
a
nameless
Author
:
But
is
supposed
to
be
the
work
of
one
Samuel
Eaton
,
a
professed
Minister
of
the
Gospel
,
among
the
Sect
of
the
Independants
,
in
Ch●shire
.
But
upon
true
Examination
,
he
is
found
to
be
teaching
the
Traditions
of
Men
,
for
the
Commandments
of
Christ
;
and
his
Principles
are
proved
to
be
not
according
,
but
contrary
to
the
SPIRIT
of
GOD
and
the
Scriptures
.
To
the
READER
.
THE
Reason
and
Cause
of
this
being
sent
abroad
,
is
for
the
better
Information
of
all
;
but
more
particularly
for
the
good
of
that
Assembly
,
to
whom
Samuel
Eaton
is
Minister
and
Pastor
,
that
they
may
know
the
Truth
from
Error
,
and
the
Way
of
Righteousness
from
all
false
Wayes
;
and
may
turn
fr●●
Idol-Shepherds
,
that
destroy
the
Vine-yard
,
and
tread
it
down
;
and
may
〈◊〉
to
Christ
,
and
receive
him
,
who
is
the
chief
Shepherd
,
to
feed
his
Flock
with
the
Bread
of
Eternal
Life
.
And
the
Reason
why
these
False
Principles
are
charged
upon
Samuel
Eaton
,
is
this
,
It
being
doubtful
to
some
,
who
was
the
Author
of
that
Catechism
,
wherein
these
Principles
and
Doctrines
were
held
forth
;
John
Gredley
and
Anne
Sheeld
by
name
,
were
with
the
said
Samuel
Eaton
,
and
asked
him
,
If
he
owned
that
Book
(
the
Catechism
?
)
and
he
said
,
He
would
maintain
all
in
it
:
That
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Answer
.
THE
Wayes
of
the
Lord
are
Equal
and
Just
,
but
the
wayes
of
the
Sons
of
Adam
are
altogether
corrupted
,
and
different
and
contrary
to
the
Wayes
of
Salvation
:
And
the
Wisdom
that
is
of
this
World
is
Foolishness
with
God
,
and
its
End
is
Destruction
to
its
self
,
and
to
all
that
walk
therein
.
And
what
is
Man
,
that
he
shall
prescribe
a
Way
to
his
Maker●
and
who
is
it
that
will
be
more
wise
then
God
,
to
●et
him
a
Way
how
he
must
●…ch
his
People
?
Therefore
in-vain
have
men
laboured
,
and
have
reaped
to
●…selves
nothing
but
Wind
and
Confusion
;
And
in
va●●
have
they
sown
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
to
reap
after
them
,
whose
Fruit
hath
been
Emptiness
,
and
not
filled
the
Hand
of
the
Gatherer
.
And
in
particular
,
this
Book
,
with
which
I
am
now
●…ing
,
is
the
Fruit
of
an
empty
.
Tree
,
which
cannot
satisfie
the
hungry
〈◊〉
,
nor
comfort
the
weary
Seeker
;
for
,
the
Satisfaction
and
Comfort
of
the
●…ing
hungry
Soul
dependeth
only
upon
the
Lord
,
and
upon
the
Bread
of
●●fe
,
that
commeth
down
,
from
God
;
and
the
soul
that
ea●●
thereof
is
●…ed
and
comforted
forever
,
and
hungereth
no
more
,
nor
thirsteth
any
sl●…
;
but
the
Fountain
is
in
him
,
and
the
Well
springeth
up
unto
Eternal
Life
〈◊〉
goes
no
more
forth
.
And
if
so
be
that
all
herein
were
true
and
sou●…
Do●…
,
and
were
learned
,
so
as
to
express
it
over
again
in
words
,
this
might
be
,
〈…〉
the
soul
still
remaining
in
Anguish
,
and
under
Sin
and
Death
,
though
〈◊〉
in
the
Knowledge
that
is
from
below
,
and
yet
in
a
farther
Ignorance
of
God
;
for
the
wisdom
of
this
World
knows
not
God
,
neither
can
it
teach
not
receive
the
knowledge
of
the
things
that
pertain
unto
Life
Eternal
;
but
to
the
S●…e
,
and
to
Fools
,
doth
the
Lord
teach
and
reveal
the
Knowledge
of
his
Kingdom
;
and
it
is
not
received
from
Books
,
nor
the
Teachings
and
Tradition
of
〈◊〉
〈…〉
by
the
Manifestation
of
the
eternal
Spirit
,
which
doth
lead
into
all
Truth
,
●…eveals
the
Mysteries
of
Salvation
.
The
first
thing
that
I
take
notice
of
,
is
this
,
thou
sayst
,
God
is
a
Spirit
▪
〈◊〉
he
is
one
in
Beeing
,
and
is
to
be
distinguished
into
three
Persons
;
and
the
Father
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Holy
Ghost
are
Personal
Relations
;
and
if
one
be
a
Person
,
such
are
the
other
,
&c.
Answ.
The
Father
,
Son
,
and
Spirit
is
one
;
this
we
believe
and
know
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
but
,
as
for
thy
word
,
Person
,
that
is
car●…
〈◊〉
●oo
low
a
word
to
denominate
God
by
,
who
is
Infinite
;
for
God
and
the
Spirit
hath
no
Person
,
nor
cannot
truly
be
distinguished
into
Persons
;
for
a
person
has
relation
to
Place
Time
and
Change
,
and
is
not
in
all
places
at
all
ti●es
at
●…e
;
and
the
Scriptures
know
no
such
distinction
;
for
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
hath
,
no
relation
to
one
Time
,
Place
or
Alteration
more
then
another
,
but
filleth
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
his
Presence
is
in
all
,
and
over
all
,
who
is
ble●…
forever
,
and
is
infinite
,
and
without
Person
,
or
confined
Beeing
;
and
the
S●…pture
no
where
,
in
true
Translation
,
doth
denominate
God
,
Christ
and
the
Spirit
by
Persons
,
and
Personal
Beeings
,
nor
doth
distinguish
them
into
●…ee
Persons
;
for
Persons
are
related
to
carnal
,
as
I
have
said
;
and
Persons
is
●oo
low
to
denominate
God
,

we

nothing

we

Answ.
Hereby
openly
thou
hast
shewed
thy self
to
be
a
Perverter
of
the
Scriptures

and
a
Wrester
of
them
to
thy
own
Destruction
;
for
let
but
reason●…●en
peruse
the
Scriptures
mention'd
by
thee

see
if
there
be
such
a
thing
〈◊〉
them

as
held
forth
by
thee

That
the
New

the

is
called

Imperfect
Sanctifiation

which
thou
hast
asserted

cited
those
Te●…
to
prove
it
,
but
as
to
the
thing
it self
I
have
answered
before
;
only
this
is
to
〈◊〉
thy
manner
of
perverting
Scriptures
,
which
is
the
work
of
the
evil
spirit
in
thee
,
and
not
the
Work
of
the
Spirit
of
God
.
And
thus
I
have
examin'd
some
part
of
thy
Principles
of
Religion
,
which
th●●
hast
put
forth
into
the
world
for
others
to
learn
;
and
the
Error
and
Falsness
of
them
is
laid
open
,
and
how
contrary
to
Scriptures
they
are
;
and
in
haste
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
were
,
I
have
passed
over
it
,
not
willing
to
rake
into
things
which
gave
no
just
occasion
against
Truth
;
but
have
only
confuted
a
few
of
thy
many
particulars
;
which
had
I
narrowly
sought
into
other
things
,
much
Unsoundness
would
have
been
discovered
:
but
what
I
have
said
is
truly
sufficient
to
discover
unto
〈◊〉
persons
the
Error
of
thy
Judgment
,
and
of
thy
Principles
and
Practices
,
and
〈◊〉
thy
whole
Religion
.
And
before
ever
thou
be
a
true
Instructor
of
others
in
〈◊〉
Way
,
thou
must
first
repent
,
and
believe
,
●nd
learn
the
Way
thy self
,
which
yet
thou
art
ignorant
of
;
for
thou
hast
shewed
no
Knowledge
,
but
what
is
sen●…

and
devilish
,
and
from
below
,
and
meerly
carnal

natural

meeting
wi●●
thy

enquiring
what
the
Author
was

I
was
engaged
to
say
something
to
it
by
way
of
answer
,
and
to
lay
it
to
the
Line
of
Judgment

according

A
CALL
unto

by
a
Servant
of
the
LORD
,
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
God
,
Dreadful
and
Mighty
,
and
the
Highest
Power
over

World
;
That
ye

off
Oppression

and
relieve
the
Oppressed
,
and
cease
to
grinde
the
Face
of
the
Poor
;
and
from
drinking
the
Whore's
Cup
,
and
from
carrying
of
her
;
and
from
all
Oppressions
whatsoever
,
lest
the
Lord
God
Almighty
execute
〈◊〉
fierce
Indignation
upon
you
,
if
ye
will
not
turn
at
his
Reproof
,
〈◊〉
hearke●
〈◊〉
his
Voice
when
he
calleth
unto
you
.
FOrasmuch
as
it
hath
come
to
pass
in
the
World
,
for
many
Ages
,
sm●●
the
last
Glorious
Appearance
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
Light
of
his
Glorious
Gospel
,
through
his
Servants
the
holy
Apostles
,
That
Antichrist
,
that
Man
of
Sin
,
the
Enemy
of
Christ
and
his
Kingdom
,
hath
ruled
in
the
Hearts
of
people
,
and
throughout
&
over
the
Christian
World
;
and
he
has
been
exalted
within
and
without
,
ever
since
the
falling
away
from
the
true
Faith
,
which
once
was
delivered
to
the
Apostles
and
true
Churches
;
and
he
hath
shewed
himself
to
be
God
,
and
hath
sitten
in
the
Seat
of
God
,
and
hath
exercised
Lordship
over
the
Persons
and
Consciences
of
Men
,
throughout
Generations
,
ever
since
the
falling
away
from
the
Faith
:
For
the
True
Church
,
the
Elected
Spouse
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
which
once
brought
forth
him
that
was
to
rule
the
Nations
,
and
was
clothed
with
the
Sun
,
and
had
once
great
Beauty
and
Excellency
,
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
hath
been
desolate
as
without
Husband
and
Issue
;
but
hath
remained
in
her
place
prepared
her
of
God
,
where
she
hath
dwelt
in
Mourning
,
and
been
fed
with
the
Bread
of
Sorrow
,
being
pursued
thither
by
the
Dragon
,
and
his
Floods
of
Cruelty
,
who
also
waited
to
devour
the
Man-child
,
when
he
was
born
;
and
the
Martyrs
Blood
hath
been
shed
,
and
the
holy
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
,
and
Saints
have
been
made
War
against
,
and
killed
and
persecuted
for
Righteou●●ess
sake
;
and
the
two
Witnesses
have
long
lain
slain
and
rejoyced
over
in
the
Streets
of
the
great
City
,
and
the
Blood
of
the
●…cent
hath
●een
dr●…k
,
and
th●…
Lamb
and
his
Followers
have
been
made
Wa●…●…inst
;
and
the
Dragon
,
the
D●vil
,
and
Satan
,
hath
deceived
the
World
into
the
Name
of
Christians
,
without
the
true
Christian
Life
;
and
Righteousness
and
Truth
hath
stood
afar
off
,
and
Justice
and
Mercy
hath
been
wanting
,
and
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
true
Obedience
to
him
,
hath
been
in
a
great
measure
expelled
out
of
Nations
;
and
even
all
that
would
not
worship
the
〈◊〉
,
●nd
his
Images
,
and
receive
his
Mark
,
the
Beast
hath
had
power
to
kill
〈◊〉
,
and
he
hath
had
power
to
execute
his
Wrath
against
them
that
have
followed
the
Lamb
,
even
all
this
time
of
Darkness
and
Apostacy
,
which
hath
over●…dowed
the
Christian-world
,
since
the
Apostles
days
until
this
time
;
and
all
this
hath
been
since
the
falling
away
from
the
Life
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
Spirit
of
Jesus
,
as
I
have
said
.
〈◊〉
the
Beast
hath
been
great
,
that
arose
out
of
the
Sea
,
and
out
of
the
Ear●…
(
when
the
true
Faith
was
lost
)
and
his
power
mighty
amongst
men
;
for
he
re●…ed
power
from
the
Dragon
,
and
made
War
against
the
true
Church
,
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
devour
the
Man-child
;
and
power
●●th
been
given
him
over
Kind●…
,
Tongues
and
Nations
;
and
all
the
World
hath
wondered
and
followed
after
the
Beast
,
and
have
been
admiring
his
power
,
and
his
great
authority
,
and
saying
,
Who
is
able
to
make
War
with
him
?
for
he
hath
had
a
Mouth
given
,
that
hath
spoken
great
things
;
and
it
hath
been
given
him
to
war
with
the
Saints
,
and
to
overcome
them
by
his
unrighteous
Laws
and
Decrees
:
and
all
that
dwelt
upon
the
Earth
have
worshipped
him
,
whose
Names
are
not
written
in
the
Book
of
Life
;
and
he
hath
had
many
Heads
(
even
divers
sorts
and
changes
of
Government
)
and
many
Horns
,
with
which
he
hath
pushed
the
Innocent
,
and
ruled
over
the
Earth
,
and
kept
all
under
his
power
;
and
he
hath
set
up
Images
to
worship
,
and
Likenesses
without
Life
;
and
he
hath
caused
both
Small
and
Great
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
Free
and
Bond
,
to
receive
his
Mark
;
and
be
〈◊〉
carried
the
Whore
,
and
she
hath
journeyed
upon
him
from
Nation
to
Nation
,
through
the
Earth
,
in
the
Sheep's
Clothing
,
and
made
all
Nations
drink
her
Cup
of
Fornications
.
And
the
Whore
,
the
false
church
,
she
hath
fate
as
a
Queen
,
in
great
State
and
Authority
,
upon
Nations
,
Tongues
,
Multitudes
and
Peoples
;
and
thro●…
the
Beast's
authority
,
which
hath
carried
her
,
she
hath
ruled
in
great
authority
over
the
Consciences
,
Persons
and
Estates
of
People
;
and
she
hath
drunk
the
Saints
Blood
,
and
the
Martyrs
Blood
;
and
in
her
is
found
even
〈◊〉
this
Day
,
the
Blood
of
the
Martyrs
,
and
the
Prophets
,
and
of
●ust
〈◊〉
,
and
of
all
that
have
been
slain
upon
the
Earth
;
and
she
hath
exercised
Cruelty
and
Tyranny
over
the
Heritage
of
God
;
and
she
hath
had
the
Sheep's
Clothing
upon
her
,
even
part
of
the
Garment
of
the
Lamb's
Wife
;
and
she
●●th
appeared
in
much
Beauty
,
with
a
Golden
Cup
in
her
hand
,
in
which
the
Wine
of
her
Fornications
,
and
the
Filthiness
thereof
hath
appeared
,
and
which
she
hath
caused
the
Nations
to
drink
;
and
by
her
Sorceries
and
Witchcrafts
she
hath
deceived
the
World
,
and
with
her
false
Miracles
,
and
Shews
,
and
Images
,
and
false
Ministers
,
which
she
hath
set
up
,
she
hath
corrupted
the
Earth
;
and
all
this
she
hath
done
by
the
Beast's
power
,
that
hath
carried
her
,
who
received
his
Authority
from
the
Dragon
,
and
from
the
Devil
.
And
thus
Antichrist
,
the
Beast
and
the
Whore
,
have
ruled
in
the
World
in
great
Authority
for
many
Generations
,
and
the
World
hath
been
as
a
Wilderness
●y
them
,
and
waste
and
barren
of
all
good
Fruit
;
and
Truth
and
Faith
●●th
been
departed
from
amongst
men
,
and
Love
and
Peace
●●th
been
far
away
;
and
Murders
,
Thefts
,
Wars
,
Strifes
and
all
Injustice
,
and
Wickedness
hath
abounded
in
Nations
;
and
thus
the
whole
Earth
hath
been
corrupted
through
the
Whore
,
and
false
church
,
who
hath
deceived
Kings
,
and
Rulers
,
and
Peoples
,
by
her
Inchantments
and
Sorceries
,
which
she
hath
ca●●ed
them
to
receive
at
her
hand
,
and
out
of
her
Golden
Cup
of
Abominations
;
out
of
which
they
have
drunk
false
doctrines
and
practices
,
to
the
deceiving
of
their
Souls
and
Bodies
.
But
now
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
and
coming
,
and
the
Lamb's
Kingdom
is
to
be
set
up
;
and
the
kingdoms
of
this
World
must
be
changed
,
and
〈◊〉
covered
again
,
and
will
become
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
his
Christ
,
and
the
Marriage
of
the
Lamb
is
come
again
,
and
the
Day
of
Glad-tidings
〈◊〉
to
the
Poor
,
and
to
the
Distressed
;
and
the
Lamb's
Wife
shall
be
adorned
〈◊〉
her
Husband
,
she
shall
be
clothed
with
the
Sun
,
and
shall
be
covered
with
her
former
Beauty
,
and
shall
be
led
out
of
the
Wilderness
;
and
the
Earth
shall
be
refreshed
,
and
deliver'd
from
the
Oppressions
and
Tyrannies
of
Antichrist
and
the
Whore
;
for
the
Hour
of
her
Iudgments
are
come
:
and
the
Darkness
of
the
Night
of
woful
Apostacy
,
which
hath
clouded
the
World
,
is
passing
over
and
the
Light
of
the
Lamb
is
risen
,
and
the
Day-star
hath
appeared
in
the
hearts
of
people
;
and
the
Man
of
Sin
,
which
hath
sate
in
the
Temple
,
and
shewe●●●mself
to
be
God
,
and
falsly
exercised
the
Bodies
and
Consciences
of
deceived
people
,
in
false
ways
and
worships
,
is
discovering
and
destroying
by
the
Spirit
of
〈◊〉
Mouth
,
and
by
the
Brightness
of
the
coming
of
Jesus
;
and
the
Beast
and
the
false
Prophet
shall
be
taken
alive
and
cast
into
the
Lake
of
Fire
,
and
the
〈◊〉
and
false
Prophet
shall
be
tormented
day
and
night
forever
;
for
the
Breath
of
Life
from
God
is
entred
into
the
two
Witnesses
,
and
they
shall
again
Prophe●y
,
and
the
Light
of
the
glorious
Gospel
,
that
that
long
been
hid
,
must
again
be
preached
to
Kindreds
,
Tongues
and
Nations
;
and
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
Iesus
〈…〉
set
up
;
and
these
things
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty
bringing
to
pass
:
And
he
will
confound
and
destroy
Antichrist
,
and
all
that
have
worshipped
him
,
and
〈◊〉
that
have
worshipped
the

and
commited

with
the
great
Whore
,
they
shall
be
taken
and
cast
into
the
Bed
of
Torment

and
shall
Weep
and
Houl
because
of
the
great
Destruction
of
Babylon
,
that
great
City
,
who
hath
been
the
Glory
of
kingdoms
,
and
made
rich
her
Merchants
〈◊〉
false
Ministers
)
with
Deceiveableness
,
whom
God
will
overthrow
:
That
great
〈◊〉
City
of
Confusion
(
the
false
church
)
that
great
Whore
,
the
Mother
of
〈◊〉
Abominations
,
the

God
is
risen
against
her
to
enquire
for
the
Blood
〈◊〉
Mart●rs

and
Righteous
Men
,
that
is
found
in
her
,
and
she
shall
be
rewarded
according
to
her
wayes
;
and
as
she
hath
given
others
to
drink
〈◊〉
Cup
of
Fornication
,
so
in
like
manner
shall
she
drink
the
Cup
of
fierce
〈◊〉
of
the
Lord's
Wrath
from
his
Saints
;
and
she
shall
no
more
deceive
the
Nations
by
her
Sorceries
,
but
the
Earth
shall
be
deliver'd
from
her
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
Son
of
God
shall
be
exalted
over
all

and
the
Light

the
Lamb
〈◊〉
be
the
Light

all
Nations

all
that
are
saved
shall
walk
in
the
Light

Truth
shall
reign

and
the
Fruit
of
Righteousness
shall
abound

glorifie
God

their
Maker

and
the
whole
Earth
shall
be
refreshed
with
the
Mercy
of
him
that
made
her
.
Wherefore
all
ye
Kings
,
Princes
,
Parliaments
and
Rulers
,
through
th●
whole
Christendom
,
this
is
a
Request
unto
you
all
of
a
Lover
of
your
Immort●●
Souls
,
That
you
will
cease
to
commit
Fornication
with
the
great
Whore
,
and
that
you
will
not
any
longer
drink
her
Cup
of
I●●●atries
,
neither
that
you
will
cause
Nations
to
drink
it
;
neither
that
you
will
carry
the
great
Whore
any
more
,
nor
receive
her
Sorc●ries
〈◊〉
Inchantments
to
deceive
your
Souls
and
Bodies
:
And
this
the
Lord
God
Almighty
(
who
ought
to
be
the
Fear
and
Dread
of
all
Nations
)
requireth
of
you
,
and
〈◊〉
is
a
Charge
to
you
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
That
〈◊〉
do
not
any
lo●g●●
defend
the
great
City
Babylon
,
and
the
false
Church
with
your
Weapons
〈…〉
and
Oppression
,
neither
that
you
will
ever
any
more
oppress
the
persons
and
Consciences
of
people
,
on
her
part
,
and
on
her
defence
;
but
that
〈…〉
〈◊〉
●●st
off
the
Whore
,
and
not
suffer
her
to
sit
upon
you
;
and
〈◊〉
you
will
not
be
Servants
to
her
,
to
execute
her
Cruelties
upon
the
Bodies
〈◊〉
Consciences
of
People
:
For
,
these
things
have
you
done
,
and
therefore
〈◊〉
Lord
displeased
with
you
,
and
therefore
deliver
your selves
from
the
A●…
of
the
false
Church
,
and
receive
not
her
Delusions

neither
im●…
〈◊〉
upon
the

under
you
;
for
now
the
Judgments
of
the
great
Whore
●…
,
and
the
time
that
the
Lord
will
reward
her
according
to
her
wayes
,
〈…〉
shall
have
the
Fruit
of
her
doings
:
And
if
you
will
yet
uphold
her
,
〈◊〉
〈…〉
Fornication
with
her
,
and
compel
the
Nations
to
drink
of
her
〈◊〉
and
cause
all
people
to
worship
the
Beast
,
and
to
receive
his
Mark
,
as
it
〈◊〉
●●en
,
Then
the
Lord
shall
execute
his
Vengeance
upon
you
,
and
you
shall
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
wise

delivered
.
Wherefore
I
say
again
unto
you
,
Arise
out
of
Darkness
,
and
come
to
the
Brightness
of
the
Light
of
the
Morning
,
even
to
the
Son's
Appearance
,
and
receive
his
Kingdom
,
and
lay
down
your
Crowns
at
his
Feet
;
for
the
Lamb
is
risen
,
whose
Crown
is
Immortal
,
and
ye
,
and
all
your
Glory
,
and
Greatness
,
and
〈◊〉
and
Power
,
is
but
as
Dust
and
Ashes
before
him
;
and
he
can
break
you
〈◊〉
,
and
never
build
you
up
again
:
And
come
out
of
great
Babylon
,
and
〈◊〉
your
City
;
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
will
suddenly
come
upon
you
;
for
great
Babylon
is
come
into
remembrance
before
the
Lord
,
to
reward
her
with
great
●●dignation
.
Wherefore
this
is
a
Call
unto
you
,
Lay
aside
your
Inquisitions
,
your
Goals
,
and
Houses
of
Correction
,
and
Prisons
,
and
all
your
Torturing
and
persecuting
of
the
Persons
and
Consciences
of
People
,
about
Worship
,
Church
and
Mini●●ry
;
for
in
these
things
,
and
by
these
Weapons
,
you
have
defended
the
Whore
;
〈◊〉
through
the
force
of
your
violent
Laws
and
cruel
Impositions
,
unjustly
laid
〈◊〉
people
,
hath
the
Whore
(
the
false
church
)
been
carried
by
you
,
and
de●…ded
by
you
:
But
lay
aside
all
your
cruel
Weapons
,
and
not
persecute
,
nor
〈◊〉
,
nor
shed
the
Blood
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
by
unjust
Laws
;
nor
limit
not
the
Spirit
of
God
from
crying
against
Babylon
,
and
reproving
her
Iniquities
;
for
these
things
have
you
done
in
defence
of
the
Whore
:
for
you
●●ve
been
the
Carriers
of
her
,
the
Defenders
and
Preservers
of
her
by
your
●…ighteous
Laws
;
and
through
you
hath
she
sate
as
a
Queen
,
thinking
she
〈◊〉
never
see
sorrow
,
because
ye
have
defended
her
,
and
taken
part
with
her
,
and
caused
Nations
to
drink
her
Cup
;
for
you
have
been
the
Executors
of
her
pleasure
,
to
compel
the
Nations
to
commit
Idolatry
,
and
to
partake
of
〈◊〉
Fornications
;
and
you
give
her
authority
to
drink
the
Blood
of
all
that
would
not
drink
her
Cup
:
and
it
is
now
time
for
you
to
forsake
these
your
wayes
,
and
to
learn
Wisdom
from
the
Lord
,
that
you
may
rule
in
Righteous●…
amongst
men
,
as
men
,
but
not
to
be
Rulers
in
Christ's
Throne
,
nor
his
Kingdom
,
by
imposing
such
a
Worship
,
and
such
a
Religion
upon
people's
Consciences
,
and
to
destroy
and
kill
all
that
will
not
thus
worship
to
your
Image
,
and
bow
according
to
your
Prescription
;
this
you
ought
not
to
do
,
〈◊〉
the
Lord
never
intrusted
you
with
this
power
,
nor
made
you
Rulers
in
his
Kingdom
,
nor
to
sit
in
his
Throne
of
Conscience
;
for
while
you
have
done
〈◊〉
,
your
Authority
has
been
from
the
Dragon
,
and
not
from
the
Lamb.
And
now
this
the
Lord
required
of
you
,
Let
Conscience
go
free
,
and
rule
not
over
the
〈◊〉
Man
;
for
while
you
do
take
that
upon
you
,
to
force
such
a
Worship
and
such
a
Religion
upon
people
,
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
God
,
you
are
but
Ser●…
to
the
great
Whore
.
Wherefore
be
warned
,
for
this
is
an
invitation
of
Love
,
Righteousness
,
Truth
,
and
just
Judgment
,
Mercy
and
Peace
unto
you
,
that
you
may
know
what
the
Mind
of
the
Lord
is
unto
you
,
and
may
do
it
,
and
rule
for
God
,
and
not
for
man
,
upon
which
dependeth
the
happiness
and
well-being
of
a
Nati●●
,
and
Nations
,
and
their
Rulers
;
and
on
the
contrary
dependeth
their
overthrow
and
destruction
,
and
this
will
speedily
be
brought
to
pass
;
〈…〉
fore
come
out
of
Babylon
,
and
deliver
your selves
from
that
bondage
〈…〉
with
the
false
Church
hath
bound
you
;
she
hath
caused
you
to
drink
hee
〈…〉
and
you
have
been
made
drunk
with
her
false
Faith
,
and
Doctrines

Pr●…
and
ye
have
compelled
Nations
to
Drink
the

Cup
of
Abominatio●…
ye
have
executed
cruelty
and
injustice
upon
all
that

y●●
〈…〉
been
Servants

being
in
Bondage
your

now
the

〈…〉
Times

AN
ACCOUNT
Of
some
Grounds
and
Reasons
OF
THE
INNOCENT
SUFFERINGS
Of
the
People
of
God
,
called
,
QUAKERS
,
And
why
they
Testifie
against
the
Vain
Customs
and
Practices
of
the
World
:
Presented
to
the
PARLIAMENT
in
the
Year
,
1659.
Also
concerning
a
Great
Cry
up
and
down
the
Nation
,
That
the
Quakers
Meetings
must
be
Broken
and
Suppressed
;
and
that
this
present
Parliament
intends
to
do
it
.
With
a
CRY
of
Great
Judgment
and
Vengeance
upon
the
Wicked
,
near
to
be
Executed
;
as
it
was
received
from
the
Lord
into
his
Servant
.
FRIENDS
,
IT
may
seem
strange
unto
you
,
as
it
doth
unto
others
,
to
hear
,
that
so
many
of
our
Friends
should
be
cast
into
Prisons
;
there
being
few
Goals
,
or
Houses
of
Correction
in
England
,
to
which
some
of
them
have
not
been
●ommitted
;
and
you
partly
know
how
many
of
them
are
this
day
in
Bonds
;
●nd
it
is
no
less
strange
to
us
,
that
such
frequent
and
heavy
Sufferings
,
for
mat●ers
of
Conscience
,
should
come
upon
us
,
and
our
Brethren
;
who
,
for
the
●ost
part
,
have
been
Instruments
with
you
and
others
,
for
casting
off
that
Yoke
〈◊〉
Oppression
,
which
,
at
the
beginning
of
the
late
Wars
,
lay
upo●
the
Ho●…est
People
of
this
Land
;
which
made
many
flee
into
strange
Nations
,
and
to
●…eek
Habitations
in
the
Deserts
:
but
we
wonder
the
more
,
that
they
should
come
●rom
those
we
accounted
our
Friends
(
that
so
much
have
pretended
the
Liberty
of
Conscience
)
and
many
of
themselves
practized
the
same
things
for
which
we
now
suffer
.
May
we
not
ask
,
What
hath
been
done
by
our
Friends
?
What
Laws
are
these
which
they
have
broken
?
Whose
Persons
or
Possessions
have
they
wronged
?
What
Force
or
Violence
have
they
used
to
any
man
?
Have
you
found
them
in
Plots
,
or
guilty
of
Sedition
,
or
making
Resistance
against
Authority
?
Have
they
not
patiently
born
the
greatest
Sufferings
that
any
People
of
this
Nation
ever
lay
under
,
since
Queen
Mary's
dayes
,
without
Murmurings
and
Discontents
?
And
when
have
they
fought
to
revenge
themselves
,
or
troubled
you
,
or
others
,
to
be
repaired
for
those
many
Injuries
,
and
false
Imprisonments
,
which
they
have
endured
?
How
have
they
been
counted
as
Sheep
for
the
Slaughter
,
persecuted
,
and
despised
,
beaten
,
stoned
,
wounded
,
stocked
,
whipped
,
haled
out
of
the
Synagogues
,
and
cast
into
Dungeons
and
noysom
Vaults
,
where
many
of
them
have
dyed
in
Bonds
,
shut
up
from
their
Friends
,
denyed
needful
Sustenance
for
several
days
together
,
not
suffered
to
have
Pen
,
Ink
,
or
Paper
;
and
when
they
have
lain
there
many
Moneths
,
and
some
of
them
Years
,
denyed
a
Legal
Tryal
,
continued
from
Sessions
to
Assizes
,
and
from
one
Assize
to
another
,
and
no
Equity
to
be
found
from
judge
or
Justice
?
If
it
be
answered
to
us
,
They
are
common
Disturbers
of
Ministers
;
they
will
not
pay
Tythes
;
they
will
not
Swear
;
they
will
not
put
off
their
Hats
;
they
travel
up
and
down
from
one
Country
to
another
without
a
Magistrate's
Pass
,
and
on
the
First
dayes
to
Meetings
at
great
distance
;
they
will
not
pay
Fee
when
they
are
brought
●●to
C●…ts
,
nor
plead
in
the
Forms
there
used
,
nor
give
Security
to
keep
the
Peace
,
or
to
be
of
the
Good
Behaviour
when
the
Iustices
require
it
:
And
we
have
Laws
or
Customs
that
require
these
things
should
be
done
.
It
is
forgotten
what
was
one
of
the
great
Causes
of
our
late
Wars
,
the
Sufferings
that
then
were
imposed
,
and
lay
upon
many
for
matters
of
Conscience
:
And
was
it
not
a
chief
Pretence
of
the
fighting
,
That
we
might
enjoy
the
Freedom
of
Conscience
,
as
well
as
outward
Rights
;
not
only
in
the
inner-Man
,
but
the
free
Exercise
in
all
Acts
of
Piety
and
Religion
,
of
what
the
Lord
should
make
manifest
unto
us
?
But
whether
this
was
then
intended
,
or
is
now
perverted
,
it
is
that
which
is
our
Right
,
which
we
must
claim
,
and
no
man
may
take
it
from
us
;
for
this
we
know
,
That
Christ
Jesus
alone
hath
right
to
rule
over
the
Consciences
of
men
,
unto
whom
every
one
must
give
an
Account
of
himself
,
according
to
the
just
,
perfect
and
unchangeable
Law
of
God
,
which
is
revealed
,
with
that
alone
of
God
,
which
is
made
manifest
in
man
,
which
he
hath
shewed
unto
him
,
by
which
every
one
shall
be
judged
at
the
Last
Day
,
when
the
Book
of
Conscience
shall
be
opened
.
And
therefore
all
unequal
,
imperfect
and
changeable
Laws
of
men
we
do
deny
;
and
by
them
,
and
for
their
Transgression
we
shall
not
be
judged
of
the
Lord
:
and
all
Laws
made
in
their
wills
,
by
their
wisdoms
in
the
things
of
God
,
which
concern
Religion
,
and
the
free
Exercise
of
a
Good
Conscience
towards
God
and
Man
,
against
them
all
we
do
bear
witness
;
〈◊〉
knowing
the
Commandments
of
the
Lord
,
and
what
he
required
of
us
,
and
having
tasted
his
tender
Love
to
those
that
keep
them
,
and
felt
his
Terrors
against
〈◊〉
Disobedience
,
we
are
made
willing
to
bear
the
greatest
Sufferings
,
rather
then
〈◊〉
against
God
:
And
in
this
Ground
we
stand
not
careful
what
man
can
do
unto
〈◊〉
or
say
of
us
,
nor
to
give
him
an
Answer
in
this
Matter
;
For
whether
it
is
better
〈◊〉
obey
God
or
Man
,
let
him
judge
.
Yet
here
,
to
prevent
Mistakes
,
we
do
with
the
like
clearness
,
declare
our
free
and
willing
Subjection
in
the
things
of
this
World
,
to
every
Ordinance
of
〈◊〉
that
is
just
(
according
to
the
Righteous
Law
of
God
)
and
our
Work
is
not
to
weaken
,
but
strengthen
the
hand
of
the
Magistrate
,
by
labouring
to
bring
all
to
own
that
of
God
,
which
should
exercise
their
Consciences
,
To
do
in
all
〈◊〉
as
they
would
be
done
unto
;
in
which
is
fulfilled
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
,
whic●
takes
away
the
occasion
it self
of
the
Law
;
and
brings
to
live
in
Peace
and
Love
,
wherein
should
be
the
Magistrates
Joy
and
Glory
.
And
do
but
look
on
the
Crimes
charged
against
us
,
and
all
the
Sufferings
we
lie
under
,
and
you
may
clearly
see
,
That
not
for
any
Evil
done
,
or
just
Law
broken
that
concerns
man
,
are
we
thus
punished
;
but
for
things
which
concern
our
God
;
and
chiefly
for
bearing
our
Witness
,
as
we
are
moved
of
the
Lord
,
against
the
false
Prophets
and
Hirelings
of
these
dayes
,
who
by
their
Fruits
are
made
manifest
,
not
only
unto
us
,
but
to
many
Thousands
besides
;
yea
,
the
greatest
part
of
all
the
sober
People
of
the
Nation
;
their
own
Hearers
will
confess
it
:
And
we
see
and
know
,
that
they
,
and
all
Ministers
and
Worships
in
the
World
,
set
up
and
standing
in
the
will
of
man
,
shall
perish
;
and
come
to
nothing
;
and
the
Rice
of
these
men
,
their
Growth
and
End
,
we
comprehend
,
and
see
their
Downfall
hastens
greatly
,
and
all
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
shall
not
be
able
to
support
them
;
and
with
them
shall
fall
their
Tythes
,
their
Temples
,
their
Gleab
lands
and
Offerings
,
their
set
dayes
of
Worship
in
their
wiils
,
and
all
Laws
limitting
the
Holy
One
,
made
to
uphold
their
Craft
;
and
blessed
are
they
,
who
through
the
Day
of
Tryal
shall
stand
in
their
Witness
faithful
unto
God
,
not
fearing
what
man
can
do
unto
them
.
Do
not
you
approve
Christ
Jesus
his
going
into
the
Temple
?
And
do
not
you
own
the
Apostles
,
who
went
into
the
Iews
Synagogues
every
Sabboth
Day
,
and
into
the
Market-places
,
to
testifie
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
reason
with
the
people
?
And
do
not
you
commend
Luther
,
and
Calvin
,
Iohn
Wicklisf
,
and
others
,
(
is
Famous
,
for
their
Zeal
,
in
publishing
abroad
what
then
was
manifest
unto
them
)
and
those
Persons
which
in
Queen
Mary's
dayes
went
into
the
Popish
Steeple-Houses
,
to
bear
witness
against
their
Superstitions
,
which
caused
her
to
make
a
Law
against
them
,
by
which
many
of
them
then
suffer'd
;
and
by
which
the
Priests
of
England
,
till
the
last
Parliament
were
guarded
;
and
is
it
now
become
an
Offence
to
practice
the
same
things
?
And
is
that
a
just
Law
,
made
by
the
late
Parliament
,
by
which
many
have
suffered
?
Are
not
the
Priests
sprung
from
the
old
Root
of
Popery
?
and
are
they
not
forced
to
flee
thither
for
their
vindication
?
and
is
not
the
spirit
the
same
(
which
makes
these
Laws
)
to
support
hem
?
How
shall
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Earth
;
the
Papists
,
Turks
,
Infidels
,
Heathens
be
converted
?
Your
Priests
sit
down
in
their
Ease
,
and
will
not
go
;
they
call
themselves
,
Ministers
of
the
Reformed
Churches
:
And
have
not
you
taught
other
Nations
how
to
make
Laws
to
restrain
the
Testimony
of
those
whom
the
Lord
●ends
,
and
is
sending
into
all
the
Corners
of
the
Earth
?
Did
the
Command
of
God
,
which
gave
Tythes
to
the
Jewish
Priesthood
,
concern
the
Gentiles
?
Was
not
the
Command
to
the
Iews
themselves
disannulled
,
when
the
Priesthood
was
changed
?
Did
ever
any
of
the
believing
Iews
pay
Tythes
to
the
Apostles
;
or
did
any
of
the
Gentiles
pay
Tythes
either
?
Did
not
the
Papists
bring
in
this
Doctrine
,
and
Oppression
?
Did
not
many
of
the
Martyrs
in
Queen
Mary's
dayes
witness
against
Tythes
?
And
was
not
that
an
Article
for
which
some
of
them
suffered
?
And
do
not
you
own
and
commend
those
Martyrs
;
or
do
you
judge
them
for
holding
an
Error
?
Have
not
all
,
or
most
of
those
Countries
,
that
turned
from
the
Pope
,
and
are
called
reformed
,
cast
off
Tythes
with
the
Pope
,
and
were
ashamed
of
them
?
And
is
it
the
Glory
of
ENGLAND
,
who
pretendeth
to
the
highest
Reformation
,
to
keep
up
Tythes
[
the
Popish
Priests
Maintenance
]
and
First-Fruits
,
and
Tenths
(
the
Wages
of
the
very
Pope
himself
)
and
to
hale
before
Courts
,
cast
into
Prisons
,
and
spoil
the
Goods
of
all
who
for
Conscience
sa●e
cannot
pay
them
:
Let
that
of
God
answer
.
And
how
many
have
,
and
at
this
day
do
suffer
because
they
cannot
Swear
,
which
Christ
Jesus
,
and
his
Apostles
,
above
all
things
forbid
?
How
are
the
Commands
of
Christ
made
void
by
the
Customs
and
Traditions
of
Men
?
Were
it
not
easie
,
by
turning
the
Law
against
Lyars
and
false
Witnesses
(
which
the
Law
of
God
is
against
)
to
find
out
that
which
your
Law
against
false
Swearing
never
did
or
could
discover
?
Do
you
own
Christ
Jesus
,
of
whom
the
Iews
,
that
put
him
to
Death
gave
this
Witness
,
That
he
Respected
no
mans
Person
?
Do
you
commend
Mordecai
,
who
could
not
give
the
outward
Honour
,
and
bow
to
Hamon
?
And
do
you
regard
his
words
who
said
,
I
know
not
how
to
give
Flattering
Titles
to
men
;
for
my
Maker
would
soon
take
me
away
?
Hath
not
God
made
of
one
Mould
and
one
Blood
all
Nations
to
dwell
upon
the
Face
of
the
Earth
?
And
doth
not
he
that
respects
Persons
commit
sin
,
and
is
convinced
of
the
Law
as
a
Transgressor
?
And
must
it
now
be
an
Offence
not
to
put
off
the
Hat
,
and
give
Respect
to
the
Person
of
him
that
hath
a
Gold
Ring
,
and
fine
Apparel
?
Hath
not
all
the
Earthly
Lordship
,
and
Tyranny
and
Oppression
sprung
from
this
Ground
,
by
which
Creatures
have
been
exalted
,
and
set
up
one
above
another
,
trampling
under
Foot
and
despising
the
Poor
?
And
is
it
not
easie
to
see
that
Power
and
Authority
,
without
contempt
,
may
be
preserved
,
the
Power
Honoured
,
and
Obeyed
,
and
submitted
unto
,
and
the
Person
Respected
?
Hath
not
the
great
and
heavy
Oppressions
of
the
Law
been
long
felt
and
cryed
out
against
,
the
long
delays
in
Courts
,
and
the
great
Fees
of
Officers
,
which
causeth
many
to
be
excessively
rich
out
of
the
Ruins
of
the
Poor
,
which
hath
brought
an
Odium
upon
the
Law
it self
?
for
to
the
Poor
the
Remedy
is
worse
then
the
Disease
;
and
while
people
are
free
to
feed
this
Deceit
,
there
is
little
hope
to
have
it
amended
.
And
how
full
of
Lyes
,
Deceit
,
Pretences
,
and
needless
Circumstances
are
all
your
Pleadings
and
Proceedings
,
to
the
burden
of
many
mens
Consciences
,
and
ruin
of
their
Estates
?
And
how
vile
and
wicked
are
the
greatest
of
Lawyers
,
that
will
plead
any
thing
for
Money
,
and
by
their
Subtilties
do
most
commonly
hide
and
cover
the
Truth
?
And
when
do
the
Judges
reprove
it
?
And
how
Treacherous
and
Deceitful
are
the
Solicitors
and
Attorneys
,
that
Truth
or
Honesty
can
scarce
be
found
amongst
them
?
And
how
do
those
eat
up
the
People
,
as
it
were
Bread
;
and
grow
Great
and
Rich
by
raising
and
increasing
Suits
,
Troubles
,
Strifes
,
and
Debates
amongst
their
Neigbours
?
And
we
seeing
these
Oppressions
are
made
to
bear
our
Witness
against
them
,
and
cannot
uphold
them
;
and
our
Testimony
shall
not
be
in
vain
.
And
how
is
the
Power
given
to
Justices
and
Judges
,
to
bind
to
the
Peace
and
Good
Behaviour
(
being
left
to
their
Discretion
)
turned
against
the
most
peaceable
and
best-behaved
Persons
amongst
men
,
meerly
because
they
cannot
bow
to
their
wills
,
and
hold
their
Tongues
when
the
Lord
requires
them
to
speak
?
Do
you
commend
Christ
Jesus
,
his
Apostles
and
Saints
,
who
were
sent
to
preach
the
Gospel
,
and
travelled
from
City
to
City
,
from
Nation
to
Nation
,
from
Country
to
Country
,
that
the
ends
of
Earth
might
hear
the
Glad-tidings
of
Salvation
?
And
do
you
commend
those
they
called
Puritans
,
for
going
many
Miles
to
worship
the
Lord
?
and
do
you
now
condemn
those
that
practice
the
same
things
?
Would
not
your
Law
against
Vagabonds
have
taken
hold
on
Christ
and
his
Ministers
,
and
hindred
their
Work
?
by
it
have
many
honest
and
good
People
suffered
most
shameful
Whippings
and
Imprisonments
,
who
were
travelling
in
their
own
Country
,
about
their
outward
and
lawful
Occasions
,
that
were
of
considerable
Estates
,
and
could
not
be
counted
Vagabonds
?
And
what
use
is
made
of
this
Law
throughout
the
Nation
you
cannot
but
hear
.
Are
not
these
things
like
the
Sayings
of
those
who
said
,
Had
they
lived
in
the
dayes
of
the
Prophets
,
they
would
not
have
persecuted
and
put
them
to
death
;
and
yet
they
crucified
Christ
?
and
so
the
Cry
is
at
this
day
against
the
Jews
for
their
Cruelty
,
when
themselves
are
found
exercising
the
same
things
against
his
Saints
and
Members
.
Long
hath
the
Beast
reigned
,
who
usurped
power
in
these
things
;
and
the
false
Prophets
,
who
have
over-spread
the
Earth
;
and
the
great
Whore
,
who
have
made
all
Nations
drunk
with
their
Abominations
,
and
the
Wine
of
their
Fornications
,
with
whom
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
have
committed
Ad●ltery
,
whom
Christ
said
should
come
,
and
before
the
Apostles
decease
did
come
;
who
went
out
from
the
Apostles
,
and
put
on
their
Clothing
,
but
inwardly
were
Destroyers
,
Ravening
Wolves
,
which
the
whole
World
went
after
,
who
turned
against
the
Saints
who
kept
to
the
Spirit
(
the
Life
which
they
went
from
)
and
made
War
with
the
Saints
till
they
overcame
;
and
their
Power
reached
over
the
whole
Earth
:
But
now
is
the
life
risen
,
and
is
again
made
manifest
,
which
they
went
from
,
which
gives
to
see
before
the
Apostacy
was
.
Now
is
the
Lamb
risen
,
and
rising
to
make
War
with
the
Dragon
,
the
Beast
and
false
Prophets
;
and
now
shall
the
great
Whore
be
taken
,
and
her
Flesh
shall
be
burnt
with
Fire
,
and
the
Saints
shall
have
the
Victory
.
Therefore
let
all
Kings
,
Princes
,
Rulers
,
and
Magistrates
,
he
warned
not
to
take
part
with
the
Beast
,
nor
to
uphold
(
with
their
power
)
the
false
Prophets
,
who
have
long
deceived
the
Nations
;
but
in
their
Place
stand
to
keep
the
outward
Peace
,
that
none
may
offer
Violence
,
and
destroy
another
,
which
hath
been
the
way
of
the
Beast
and
of
the
false
Prophets
(
the
Prop
and
Support
of
their
Kingdom
)
but
leave
Christ
Jesus
in
his
Saints
to
mannage
the
War
,
whose
Warfare
is
not
carnal
,
whose
Weapons
are
not
carnal
,
yet
are
they
mighty
through
God
,
to
the
pulling
down
of
the
Strong
Holds
of
Satan
,
and
overturning
the
Foundation
of
Satan's
kingdom
;
and
they
shall
soon
see
what
is
Truth
,
and
what
is
Error
;
for
great
is
the
Truth
,
and
will
prevail
;
they
shall
not
need
to
cry
out
for
want
of
Ministers
,
or
that
Christ
Jesus
is
not
able
to
send
forth
Labourers
;
nor
will
those
he
sends
forth
trouble
them
for
Maintenance
:
and
here
is
the
Magistrates
true
Place
,
to
keep
Peace
amongst
all
men
,
to
punish
him
that
doth
Evil
,
and
to
encourage
him
that
doth
well
;
to
rule
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Earth
in
Righteousness
,
that
Justice
and
Equity
may
be
exalted
,
and
that
way
may
be
made
for
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
coming
to
reign
,
and
to
take
the
Dominion
to
himself
;
and
we
are
Witnesses
in
our
Measures
of
his
Coming
,
and
of
the
working
of
his
Mighty
Power
,
by
which
he
is
able
to
subdue
all
things
to
himself
.
And
this
is
the
Testimony
unto
which
we
are
called
,
and
many
Thousands
with
us
in
the
Unity
of
the
same
Spirit
.
And
Witnesses
we
stand
against
Priests
,
Tythes
,
Temples
,
Swearing
,
and
all
the
carnal
wayes
of
Worship
,
set
up
and
upholden
by
outward
Laws
and
Powers
,
which
would
limit
and
restrain
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
grieved
,
and
daily
cries
out
against
these
Abominations
.
Witnesses
we
stand
against
Parliaments
,
Councels
,
Judges
,
Justices
,
who
make
or
execute
Laws
in
their
wills
over
the
Consciences
of
men
,
or
punish
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
to
such
Laws
,
Customs
,
Courts
,
or
Arbitrary
usurped
Dominion
,
we
cannot
yield
our
Obedience
.
Yet
we
do
declare
,
as
it
is
testified
in
all
Counties
,
Cities
,
Goals
and
Prisons
,
to
Judges
,
Justices
,
and
others
,
That
as
we
preach
Christ
Iesus
alone
in
the
things
of
God
,
to
be
our
Law-Giver
,
so
do
we
own
him
to
be
our
King
(
and
own
Magistacy
in
civil
things
)
not
resisting
any
;
but
following
his
Example
,
who
was
made
perfect
through
Suffering
,
and
for
his
Salvation
we
wait
,
till
he
alone
shall
plead
our
Cause
;
and
therefore
for
Conscience
sake
we
have
joyfully
born
,
and
do
bear
so
many
and
great
Sufferings
,
since
the
day
we
were
convinced
of
his
Everlasting
Truth
.
These
things
we
have
declared
,
not
to
upbraid
you
with
the
Injustice
of
others
,
nor
to
revile
the
Government
it self
;
but
that
you
may
see
the
Ground
,
and
true
Cause
of
all
our
Sufferings
;
and
of
the
Suffering
of
the
Saints
in
all
Ages
and
Generations
,
and
in
all
Nations
of
the
World
at
this
day
:
And
we
leave
it
to
that
of
God
in
you
all
to
weigh
and
consider
,
whether
it
be
not
time
to
reform
both
Laws
,
Courts
and
Officers
.
From
your
Friends
,
who
are
Lovers
of
Peace
and
Truth
,
who
wait
for
the
coming
of
the
Lord
,
to
establish
Iustice
and
Righteousness
in
the
Earth
;
whom
he
hath
raised
up
,
as
Witnesses
of
his
appearing
,
and
of
the
dawning
of
the
Mighty
and
Dreadful
Day
of
God
,
in
Life
,
Light
and
Power
;
who
are
hated
of
Men
,
and
reproached
under
the
Name
of
Quakers
.
And
whereas
there
is
a
Great
Cry
up
and
down
the
Nation
,
That
the
Quakers
Meetinge
must
be
Broken
and
Suppressed
;
and
that
this
present
Parliament
intends
to
do
it
.
And
of
this
I
have
heard
in
divers
Parts
of
the
Nation
.
NOw
to
this
I
shall
say
,
and
answer
;
First
,
As
I
have
observed
the
spirits
of
People
concerning
this
Cry
,
all
the
Rude
and
Ungodly
People
,
as
Drunkards
,
and
the
prophanest
of
men
,
they
glory
apace
at
this
News
,
and
rejoyce
at
this
mightily
,
as
if
some
great
Prize
were
befallen
unto
them
;
and
it
makes
them
rude
and
violent
enough
,
to
the
breaking
of
the
Peace
in
the
Nation
;
but
thus
it
is
but
with
the
worst
sort
of
People
in
the
Nation
,
who
are
rejoyced
with
these
Tidings
,
That
the
Quakers
Meetings
must
be
broken
:
But
as
for
the
Honest
People
,
such
as
be
sober
and
sincere
,
Thousands
that
had
a
hand
in
chusing
this
present
Parliament
,
never
intended
to
send
them
up
to
London
for
such
a
Work
;
and
the
Cry
is
by
many
of
the
sober
People
,
If
they
go
about
such
a
Work
,
they
will
destroy
themselves
,
undo
themselves
,
and
leave
their
Names
a
Reproach
:
why
,
say
the
people
(
we
have
a
Testimony
before
us
)
hath
it
not
been
upon
that
Rock
of
limiting
tender
Consciences
,
in
former
dayes
,
that
hath
broken
many
before
these
,
which
might
be
Examples
to
these
,
not
to
do
the
same
things
?
And
many
sober
people
are
offended
at
such
News
,
and
it
makes
their
hearts
sad
;
whose
Consciences
,
and
the
Witness
therein
,
doth
answer
,
That
we
are
the
Lord's
People
,
and
it
ought
not
thus
to
be
done
concerning
us
as
the
News
reports
:
So
that
by
this
News
of
the
intended
Purpose
,
to
break
the
Lord's
Peoples
Meetings
,
the
Ungodly
and
Prophane
are
gratified
,
and
strengthened
in
their
Wickedness
;
and
the
Righteous
are
made
sad
.
And
further
,
as
for
us
,
We
have
been
trodden
down
,
and
made
a
Prey
unto
our
Enemies
;
and
the
Gates
of
Death
and
Hell
have
stroven
against
us
already
,
but
have
not
prevailed
unto
this
day
;
for
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
and
who
is
it
that
shall
prevail
against
us
?
and
I
may
say
.
What
is
this
that
is
reported
to
be
done
?
what
shall
Dust
and
Ashes
do
,
and
man
whose
Breath
is
in
his
Nostrils
?
And
who
are
they
that
shall
break
down
that
which
the
Lord
hath
a
purpose
to
build
?
Who
shall
be
able
to
prosper
in
going
about
it
?
or
what
success
shall
God
give
to
that
Work
?
I
tell
you
nay
;
it
is
the
Lord
that
has
raised
us
up
,
and
we
have
given
our
power
to
him
,
to
stand
by
him
,
and
to
be
protected
,
defended
and
upheld
by
him
alone
;
and
we
cannot
give
our
Power
to
any
Mortal
Men
,
to
seek
that
from
them
which
is
not
in
their
hands
to
give
:
The
Power
of
the
Lord
God
is
over
you
,
he
that
is
our
Keeper
and
Preserver
,
in
whose
Hands
is
your
Breath
,
to
destroy
it
utterly
;
if
you
do
that
which
doth
offend
him
;
for
you
shall
know
,
that
we
are
the
Lord's
People
,
by
whom
we
shall
stand
,
and
grow
in
Dominion
and
Authority
in
his
Life
;
and
the
Dread
of
the
Lord
shall
be
upon
our
Enemies
,
though
they
one
gratifie
another
with
Intentions
of
Evil
against
us
;
yet
the
Lord
stoppeth
the
purpose
of
his
En●●ies
,
and
turns
it
backwards
upon
their
own
heads
.
And
this
I
say
from
the
Lord
,
If
such
a
thing
be
in
your
Hearts
,
conceiving
to
be
brought
forth
by
you
,
it
is
a
Birth
that
will
devour
you
er●
ever
it
spring
out
of
your
Bowel●
,
it
will
be
too
heavy
a
Burden
,
and
you
shall
never
have
strength
to
deliver
it
:
This
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
you
,
It
shall
be
a
Rock
to
overthrow
you
,
and
it
will
be
a
S●are
to
catch
you
;
and
if
any
such
thing
proceeds
from
you
,
it
will
break
you
,
and
your
own
Wickedness
will
destroy
you
.
Alas
!
Do
not
you
see
evidently
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
fight
for
us
?
Yea
,
we
have
evident
Testimony
of
his
Presence
,
that
he
is
,
and
will
be
with
us
unto
the
end
:
And
if
any
will
be
blind
,
let
them
be
blind
;
for
these
Tidings
do
not
trouble
us
,
neither
are
we
thereby
moved
,
no
not
to
beg
of
any
man
the
contrary
;
for
we
cannot
give
our
Power
unto
you
,
nor
come
under
the
power
of
this
World
,
no
not
to
beg
of
you
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
,
that
you
should
forbear
the
fulfilling
your
intents
:
But
this
it
is
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
though
he
requires
nothing
of
you
to
exalt
his
Kingdom
by
your
power
,
nor
to
prescribe
him
a
Way
how
he
must
be
worshipped
;
yet
he
requires
,
That
you
should
do
nothing
against
him
,
nor
his
People
,
by
limiting
he
Spirit
of
the
Lord
.
And
I
say
,
The
Saints
of
the
Most
High
cannot
give
their
Power
to
you
,
to
stand
or
fall
thereby
,
nor
to
go
by
the
Authority
thereof
,
to
exalt
the
Kingdom
of
God
thereby
;
they
can
beg
no
such
thing
,
nor
desire
it
of
you
;
for
it
is
not
in
your
hands
to
give
his
Work
of
Salvation
unto
the
Nations
;
you
cannot
give
nor
lay
one
Stone
in
the
building
of
his
blessed
Temple
;
but
he
alone
will
do
it
,
and
not
by
the
Arm
of
Flesh
:
Yet
doth
he
require
,
That
you
should
do
nothing
against
him
,
nor
abuse
your
power
;
but
and
if
you
do
,
he
will
reward
you
according
to
your
Deeds
:
and
this
you
will
find
and
feel
in
the
Day
of
God
,
when
he
brings
Vengeance
and
Judgment
upon
you
,
and
when
he
sets
his
Kingdom
over
you
all
,
and
that
comes
to
raign
over
the
Nations
which
how
is
a
Sufferer
.
And
when
I
first
heard
the
News
sent
abroad
in
the
Nation
,
of
such
Intentions
,
to
break
the
Quakers
Meetings
,
many
Considerations
passed
through
me
,
Will
these
go
(
said
I
)
in
the
same
way
that
many
have
been
destroyed
in
before
them
?
Will
these
run
upon
the
same
Rock
?
Will
these
take
in
hand
to
limit
God
,
and
to
set
him
a
Way
?
And
shall
all
these
Sufferings
of
the
Lord's
People
,
for
these
many
years
,
be
finished
by
these
,
that
all
the
Unjust
Dealing●
and
Oppressions
of
the
Saints
may
be
upon
them
?
Is
there
no
Wise
Man
among
them
,
nor
none
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
that
he
may
be
preserved
●om
●estruction
?
And
is
this
their
beginning
in
Parliament
,
to
destroy
God's
Heritage
?
The
Lord
,
nor
the
People
of
this
Nation
,
that
fear
God
,
have
not
intrusted
them
therein
:
But
if
it
be
so
,
said
I
in
my
heart
,
if
this
Wickedness
be
intended
,
and
if
they
do
so
greatly
abuse
their
power
,
they
shall
leave
their
Names
as
a
Reproach
to
after
Ages
,
and
their
Memories
shall
Rot
,
and
their
Wickedness
shall
lie
upon
them
for
evermore
.
But
I
considered
,
that
we
having
given
our
Power
to
the
Lord
,
from
him
we
have
found
unto
this
day
,
and
do
alwayes
seek
defence
,
and
to
be
carried
on
,
and
by
him
we
stand
,
and
to
him
we
fall
;
and
not
to
Mortal
Men
,
who
are
as
Clay
in
the
Hand
of
the
Potter
.
Wherefore
let
the
Wise
in
Heart
consider
these
things
,
and
lay
them
to
mind
;
for
if
they
shall
proceed
to
that
Wickedness
,
the
Nations
shall
they
never
settle
in
Peace
,
nor
shall
their
Rulers
receive
a
Blessing
;
but
they
shall
be
a
Curse
unto
themselves
,
and
to
all
under
their
Authority
.
And
this
is
a
Testimony
to
all
sober
People
,
shewing
unto
them
all
,
where
our
Confidence
is
,
and
in
what
it
remains
.
And
nevertheless
,
If
the
Heart
of
the
Wicked
be
strengthened
against
us
,
and
their
hands
made
strong
to
deal
violently
;
yet
shall
the
Righteous
Rejoyce
,
and
be
exceeding
Glad
;
For
the
Day
of
Redemption
and
Everlasting
Peace
is
come
unto
his
People
,
that
do
and
have
waited
for
him
;
and
all
under
him
shall
bow
and
bend
;
and
he
will
make
his
Peoples
Cup
overflow
,
and
spread
their
Table
even
in
the
sight
of
their
Enemies
,
and
they
shall
Fear
,
and
the
Terror
of
the
Lord
shall
lie
upon
them
;
and
when
they
have
executed
their
Violence
,
then
shall
the
Lord
deal
violently
with
them
.

A
CRY
of
Great
Iudgment
and
Vengeance
upon
the
Wicked
,
near
to
be
Executed
;
as
it
was
received
from
the
Lord
into
his
Servant
.
ON
the
eighteenth
Day
of
the
first
Moneth
,
as
I
was
travelling
in
Warwick-shire
,
my
Meditations
being
upon
the
Lord
,
and
upon
the
Cause
of
his
People
in
this
Nation
;
and
how
Unjust
and
Unrighteous
their
woful
Sufferings
have
been
executed
upon
them
,
within
these
few
years
:
even
when
I'
was
pondering
of
these
things
,
in
the
deep
consideration
thereof
,
it
came
upon
me
from
the
Lord
,
and
the
Cry
went
through
me
,
The
Lord
will
be
avenged
,
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
upon
his
Enemies
,
and
he
will
avenge
the
Cause
of
his
People
.
And
this
Cry
stuck
close
upon
me
for
some
Hours
,
That
the
Lord
would
surely
execute
his
Judgments
upon
the
Oppressors
of
his
Heritage
,
who
have
spoiled
,
and
troden
it
down
,
and
sought
to
destroy
it
.
And
I
considered
,
and
took
into
full
view
in
my
spirit
,
how
grievous
,
how
sad
,
and
how
unjust
the
Sufferings
of
God's
People
have
been
within
these
few
years
;
and
my
Heart
was
even
broken
therewith
,
and
my
Spirit
even
melted
;
and
it
came
upon
me
from
the
Lord
,
saying
,
Write
unto
the
Rulers
,
and
yet
once
more
warn
them
of
that
Recompence
,
and
of
that
Indignation
,
which
is
at
hand
upon
them
,
even
a
just
Recompence
for
all
their
Deeds
;
and
as
they
have
done
,
even
so
shall
it
be
done
to
them
;
as
they
have
sought
to
destroy
the
Generation
of
the
Righteous
,
even
so
shall
they
be
destroyed
from
off
the
Face
of
the
Earth
;
and
as
they
have
unjustly
judged
and
condemned
the
Innocent
,
so
shall
they
be
condemned
,
and
justly
judged
of
the
Lord
;
and
as
they
have
cast
the
Bodies
of
the
poor
Lambs
of
Christ
into
Prison
,
and
been
a
Snare
upon
them
;
even
so
shall
they
be
insnared
,
and
into
Captivity
shall
they
go
:
And
as
they
have
caused
the
Goods
and
Possessions
of
the
Innocent
to
be
spoiled
and
made
a
Prey
;
even
so
in
like
manner
shall
the
Curse
of
the
Lord
spoil
their
Substance
:
And
as
they
have
done
,
so
shall
it
be
done
unto
them
;
and
as
they
have
mete
to
others
,
so
shall
it
be
mete
to
them
again
.
And
I
saw
a
great
Misery
and
Desolation
nigh
at
hand
;
even
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
,
and
it
should
slay
them
;
and
I
beheld
it
was
made
ready
for
the
slaughter
:
and
in
the
sense
of
these
things
a
sadness
fell
upon
my
spirit
,
considering
the
Desolation
,
and
the
Judgment
that
is
at
hand
,
to
be
executed
upon
the
cruel
Oppressors
.
Wherefore
all
ye
Rulers
,
and
all
ye
that
have
troden
down
the
Heritage
of
God
,
and
ye
that
have
disregarded
these
many
Warnings
that
ye
have
had
;
I
say
unto
you
all
,
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
in
his
Dominion
,
and
by
his
Spirit
;
this
is
once
more
a
Warning
to
you
from
the
Lord
,
and
that
these
things
must
surely
come
to
pass
,
and
be
fulfilled
in
their
Season
,
and
no
man
shall
be
able
to
deliver
his
Brother
;
but
every
Man
shall
bear
his
own
Burthen
,
and
drink
his
own
Cup
prepared
for
him
;
and
though
it
hath
been
counted
a
light
thing
amongst
you
,
and
you
have
dispised
the
reproof
,
and
gone
on
without
fear
;
yet
in
as
much
as
the
Lord
hath
spared
you
,
and
not
speedily
executed
Judgment
upon
you
,
but
rather
waited
for
your
return
;
yet
the
dealing
of
the
Lord
towards
you
in
sparing
of
you
,
you
have
not
accepted
;
and
therefore
shall
his
Judgments
be
the
greater
upon
you
.
For
if
you
do
now
come
to
the
Witness
in
your
own
Consciences
;
What
evil
have
this
People
done
?
Whose
Ox
have
they
taken
,
or
what
have
they
desired
of
you
?
or
what
have
they
sought
from
you
?
or
wherein
have
they
been
a
burthen
to
you
,
Saving
that
they
have
reproved
you
for
your
Iniquities
,
and
desired
your
Redemption
?
Would
you
but
now
at
last
come
to
consider
this
,
and
confess
the
truth
in
your
Consciences
;
will
not
that
tell
you
,
that
they
have
suffered
patiently
all
things
that
you
have
cruelly
imposed
upon
them
?
and
have
not
they
walked
peaceably
towards
you
,
and
humbly
,
meekly
justly
among
their
Neighbours
?
and
have
they
not
been
meek
and
innocent
even
as
Lambs
,
and
as
the
Sheep
before
the
Shearers
?
and
have
they
wrought
offences
towards
any
?
have
they
sought
the
overthrow
of
the
Government
,
or
have
they
sought
vengeance
against
their
Enemies
?
or
what
injury
have
they
done
to
any
man's
Person
,
or
Estate
,
saving
to
Satan
and
his
Kingdom
?
Have
they
not
sought
to
reform
and
reclaim
the
Ungodly
from
their
Wayes
?
and
have
they
not
pittied
and
prayed
for
their
Enemies
?
and
have
they
not
in
all
things
walked
in
good
conscience
toward
the
Lord
,
and
towards
all
men
?
Yea
,
my
Friends
,
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
when
the
Witness
in
your
Consciences
shall
not
be
limitted
,
but
shall
speak
plainly
;
and
when
the
Impartial
Judge
shall
appear
upon
his
Throne
,
then
shall
you
acknowledge
these
things
.
Wherefore
I
say
unto
you
,
receive
the
Judgment
of
the
Lord
to
purifie
you
,
otherwise
the
Judgment
shall
destroy
you
;
and
now
come
to
be
more
wise
,
that
some
of
you
may
be
as
a
Brand
pluckt
out
of
the
Fire
,
and
be
reserved
from
being
consumed
;
for
the
Visitation
of
the
Lord
is
near
an
end
,
when
his
Loving
kindness
will
be
shut
from
you
,
and
his
Long-suffering
turned
into
fury
;
and
he
will
make
you
know
that
we
are
his
People
with
whom
you
have
thus
dealt
;
yea
,
you
shall
suddenly
know
it
,
the
time
is
not
long
till
he
will
crown
his
People
in
the
sight
of
his
Enemies
;
he
will
crown
them
with
Praise
and
with
Righteousness
,
with
Honour
and
Majesty
,
and
he
will
keep
them
in
safety
,
even
when
Sorrow
compasses
you
about
;
his
Mercy
and
Loving
kindness
shall
extend
towards
them
;
even
when
his
Wrath
and
Judgments
doth
smite
you
,
and
confound
you
.
O!
what
shall
I
say
unto
you
;
for
the
deep
sence
thereof
remaines
upon
my
heart
;
for
when
I
consider
how
that
in
all
Ages
the
Lord
did
avenge
his
Peoples
Cause
;
and
when
the
time
of
their
suffering
was
expired
,
he
brake
the
Bonds
of
Iniquty
,
and
set
them
free
:
thus
did
he
with
his
People
Israel
of
old
,
and
many
times
it
was
his
way
with
his
People
to
bring
them
low
by
suffering
,
and
then
to
raise
them
up
again
in
Glory
;
and
he
suffered
their
Enemies
for
a
season
to
glory
over
them
,
that
he
might
bring
them
down
;
and
thus
he
did
in
England
in
the
case
between
the
Bishops
and
their
crew
of
Persecuters
,
and
the
poor
People
at
that
day
called
Puritans
;
Did
not
he
confound
that
persecuting
Crew
,
and
deliver
his
People
?
And
is
not
he
the
same
to
effect
the
same
Work
at
this
very
day
?
Yea
doubtless
,
and
much
more
will
he
do
,
in
as
much
as
the
manifestation
of
Truth
is
more
clear
then
it
was
in
their
dayes
;
and
in
as
much
as
the
Rulers
and
People
of
this
Nation
have
rejected
a
more
clear
Testimony
,
then
either
the
Papists
in
Queen
Marys
dayes
,
or
the
Bishops
and
Prelets
in
their
dayes
;
even
so
much
the
more
will
the
Lord
God
execute
his
Vengeance
with
more
Violence
,
in
a
more
manifest
way
;
and
all
shall
know
,
that
it
is
he
that
doth
it
,
and
he
will
set
his
People
free
;
for
he
hath
regarded
their
Sufferings
,
and
he
hath
said
it
is
enough
;
for
he
hath
tried
them
,
and
found
them
faithfull
;
and
all
this
hath
been
suffered
to
prove
them
,
and
not
to
destroy
them
:
and
like
as
he
hath
preserved
them
in
patience
and
peace
through
it
all
,
even
so
will
he
give
them
Hearts
to
walk
answerably
to
their
deliverance
;
and
as
they
have
abounded
in
Patience
in
their
Sufferings
,
so
shall
they
abound
in
Praises
everlasting
in
the
day
of
their
Freedom
,
and
the
Earth
shall
be
glad
,
and
shall
yield
the
increase
and
blessing
;
the
Heaven
and
the
Earth
shall
rejoyce
,
and
the
Hearts
of
the
Righteous
shall
leap
for
joy
,
when
the
Lord
hath
broken
the
Yoke
of
the
Oppressed
,
and
set
his
People
free
,
inwardly
and
outwardly
,
and
then
shall
they
sing
to
the
Lord
over
all
their
Enemies
,
who
shall
be
tormented
and
vexed
in
the
Lord
's
sore
displeasure
;
for
their
Reward
cometh
,
and
their
Recompence
shall
be
even
as
work
,
and
he
will
give
unto
them
Sorrow
and
Anguish
,
instead
of
rejoycing
.
But
again
,
when
I
consider
the
long
Suffering
,
and
patience
,
and
forbearance
of
the
Lord
's
innocent
People
under
all
their
Sufferings
;
and
when
I
looked
at
their
innocency
,
and
at
their
Righteousness
,
and
Spirit
of
Holiness
with
which
the
Lord
hath
blessed
them
,
my
Heart
was
made
glad
in
the
consideration
of
this
;
and
the
more
was
my
joy
,
the
more
I
beheld
their
innocency
,
and
the
guiltlesness
of
their
Cause
,
whereby
the
unjustness
of
their
suffering
did
the
more
appear
;
and
withal
when
I
looked
and
beheld
their
increase
under
all
their
sufferings
,
and
how
that
the
Lord
had
turned
all
these
things
to
their
good
,
and
to
the
overthrow
of
all
their
Enemies
;
how
that
,
by
that
way
,
wherein
their
Enemies
intended
to
destroy
them
from
being
a
People
;
even
thereby
did
the
Lord
most
wonderfully
increase
them
to
be
a
great
▪
People
;
for
through
all
have
they
grown
in
Life
and
Power
,
and
in
strength
and
in
number
,
and
through
it
all
have
they
been
incouraged
to
follow
the
Lord
with
more
zeal
and
boldness
:
and
in
the
consideration
of
this
I
did
rejoyce
,
with
magnifying
the
Lord
for
ever
,
that
he
had
brought
forth
his
Praise
even
through
the
wickedness
of
the
Wicked
,
and
he
had
increased
his
People
,
and
exalted
them
through
the
cruelty
of
all
their
Enemies
;
and
that
through
all
Opposition
they
were
attained
unto
a
happy
Rest
,
and
through
all
the
Tempest
of
great
Trials
,
they
were
arrived
into
the
Harbour
of
Renown
and
great
Glory
:
And
when
I
considered
this
,
how
that
the
Lord
had
given
them
dominion
,
and
brought
their
life
to
reign
over
all
their
Enemies
,
these
things
were
a
joy
unto
me
;
and
looking
back
into
Ages
,
seeing
there
was
nothing
,
nor
any
People
for
Generations
,
that
had
grown
,
and
risen
through
all
Opposition
like
unto
these
;
wherefore
is
is
a
Sign
and
a
Testimony
that
we
are
the
Lord's
,
and
that
these
things
are
of
him
,
and
from
him
,
and
by
him
alone
,
that
he
might
be
praised
for
ever
.
Again
,
when
I
do
consider
,
how
that
the
Lord
hath
raised
this
People
,
even
out
of
the
Dust
;
and
them
that
were
not
a
People
,
are
become
a
People
;
and
the
Lord
hath
provoked
Nations
by
them
that
were
not
a
People
within
these
few
years
;
and
the
Lord
has
carried
on
this
Work
amongst
his
People
,
not
by
any
thing
of
Man
,
nor
by
the
Arm
of
Flesh
,
but
in
pure
innocency
and
simplicity
hath
it
been
accomplished
;
not
by
the
Wisdom
of
this
World
,
nor
by
men
in
places
of
Honour
,
and
of
Power
in
the
Nations
;
for
all
that
has
been
wanting
to
them
;
and
what
they
are
,
it
is
through
the
opposition
of
all
this
;
for
they
have
had
none
of
the
great
men
of
the
Earth
on
their
side
to
defend
them
,
and
establish
them
,
but
all
have
been
against
them
;
and
even
Oppression
and
Tyranny
executed
upon
them
,
rather
then
any
approbation
,
or
justification
from
men
in
outward
Authority
:
so
that
truely
it
may
be
said
,
that
there
hath
been
nothing
of
man
in
this
Work
,
but
all
of
the
Lord
,
by
his
own
Power
,
and
in
a
contrary
way
to
all
the
false
Sects
,
and
false
Churches
,
hath
the
beginning
and
carrying
on
of
these
things
been
;
for
we
know
that
all
the
false
Sects
in
this
Nation
have
risen
and
been
established
through
the
countenance
of
men
in
Place
and
Power
,
and
upon
man
,
and
the
Wisdom
of
this
World
,
and
Authority
of
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
hath
the
rise
and
fall
of
all
false
Churches
depended
:
and
as
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
have
sided
with
them
,
so
have
they
been
set
up
;
and
at
the
displeasure
of
Authority
,
have
been
cast
down
.
But
as
for
this
People
,
they
are
raised
of
the
Lord
,
and
established
by
him
,
even
contrary
to
all
men
;
and
they
have
given
their
Power
onely
to
God
,
and
they
cannot
give
their
Power
to
any
mortal
men
,
to
stand
or
fall
by
any
outward
Authority
,
and
to
that
they
cannot
seek
;
but
to
the
Lord
alone
,
who
heareth
their
cry
,
and
will
avenge
their
cause
.
Wherefore
let
all
the
Persecutors
bow
before
the
Lord
,
and
let
all
the
Saints
walk
humbly
in
his
sight
,
and
let
them
continue
in
that
innocent
Life
in
which
they
have
begun
;
and
let
them
never
forget
the
Mercies
of
the
Lord
,
and
what
he
hath
brought
to
pass
,
who
hath
manifested
great
things
,
and
will
do
more
and
more
to
the
confounding
of
all
his
Enemies
,
and
to
the
praise
of
his
elect
People
.
And
all
ye
Saints
upon
the
Earth
,
have
ye
the
Lord
in
respect
continually
,
and
turn
you
not
unto
Idols
,
but
let
the
Lord
be
your
joy
for
evermore
.
E.
B.
TO
THE
RULERS
And
to
such
as
are
in
AUTHORITY
,
A
True
and
Faithful
TESTIMONY
Concerning
RELIGION
,
And
the
Establishment
thereof
;
and
how
it
may
be
Established
in
PERSONS
and
NATIONS
.
THere
hath
been
a
great
cry
of
late
years
among
the
Priests
,
and
many
others
,
for
the
settlement
of
Religion
,
and
this
they
have
sought
after
from
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
cry
hath
been
to
Parliaments
and
Rulers
by
the
Priests
and
Professors
for
many
years
,
settle
us
Religion
,
settle
us
Religion
.
Now
to
this
I
answer
,
all
this
cry
,
and
this
desire
hath
been
by
these
Priests
and
Professors
,
to
have
Parliaments
to
make
Laws
,
to
establish
one
Sect
,
and
throw
down
and
limit
all
others
,
that
is
the
chief
thing
that
hath
been
eyed
in
the
request
,
and
not
simply
to
have
true
Religion
established
;
if
we
come
to
shew
what
true
Religion
is
in
it self
.
But
people
of
divers
Sects
have
been
requiring
,
and
desiring
every
one
to
have
their
own
Sect
established
and
set
up
,
and
all
others
thrown
down
,
and
not
to
have
a
place
,
nor
to
be
tollerated
;
so
that
their
cry
hath
not
risen
from
the
Ground
of
true
love
to
true
Religion
,
but
their
desires
have
chiefly
risen
,
and
sprung
from
self
love
to
their
own
Sect
,
and
from
Malice
and
Envy
against
others
that
were
not
of
their
Way
:
and
this
hath
been
the
end
of
their
craving
the
settlement
of
Religion
,
and
not
simply
for
true
Religions
sake
.
Now
Religion
in
itself
is
this
,
The
fulfilling
of
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
,
loving
God
with
all
their
hearts
,
and
the
Neighbour
as
self
,
and
doing
to
all
men
,
as
they
would
have
men
to
do
to
them
,
and
not
otherwise
doing
,
or
speaking
towards
any
,
then
they
would
that
others
should
speak
of
,
or
do
to
them
,
and
a
walking
towards
God
in
all
things
,
as
they
have
received
of
his
Grace
,
answering
to
the
Lord
in
all
things
as
his
Spirit
leads
them
and
moves
them
;
this
is
true
Religion
towards
God
and
towards
man
,
and
to
have
the
Conscience
alwayes
kept
void
of
offence
,
and
that
no
offence
lie
upon
it
in
the
sight
of
God
,
nor
in
the
sight
of
Man
;
and
this
is
true
Religion
in
it self
,
in
short
declared
,
to
wit
,
The
leading
of
the
Spirit
of
God
into
all
Truth
,
to
do
the
Truth
,
and
speak
the
Truth
in
all
things
,
and
this
Religion
is
accepted
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
to
be
kept
unspotted
in
the
World
,
from
all
its
Pollutions
.
But
now
tell
me
,
can
this
Religion
be
setled
,
or
any
Nation
or
People
,
or
any
Person
in
it
by
any
external
Power
,
or
outward
Authority
of
men
?
or
can
the
Laws
of
Kings
,
or
Parliaments
settle
such
Religion
,
or
make
people
truly
religious
,
or
establish
a
Nation
or
People
in
this
Religion
?
I
say
no
,
nor
any
thing
,
saving
the
Teachings
and
Leadings
of
the
holy
Spirit
of
God
,
being
received
from
the
Father
,
it
s
that
onely
that
makes
men
religious
,
and
settles
a
People
and
Nation
therein
.
Oh
,
ye
Fools
and
blind
Priests
and
Professors
,
that
are
doting
on
setling
Religion
among
unconverted
people
by
outward
Laws
,
and
earthly
Powers
of
men
;
I
say
,
no
,
this
must
not
be
;
for
the
Laws
of
men
can
but
settle
a
Sect
,
or
some
Sects
,
and
limit
other
Sects
;
but
true
Religion
can
never
be
setled
by
that
meanes
;
for
before
any
be
setled
in
Religion
,
they
must
first
be
changed
,
and
created
a
new
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
born
again
of
the
Seed
Incorruptible
,
and
they
must
first
be
changed
from
Death
to
Life
,
and
from
Satan's
Power
to
God
;
this
must
first
be
Witnessed
,
before
a
Man
or
a
Nation
can
be
religious
,
and
setled
in
true
Religion
,
he
must
put
off
the
body
of
Sin
,
and
be
circumcised
in
heart
;
and
he
must
have
a
new
Nature
planted
in
him
,
and
he
planted
into
Christ
a
New
and
Living
Vine
,
before
he
can
love
God
with
all
his
heart
,
and
his
Neighbour
as
himself
,
and
before
he
can
have
his
Conscience
kept
void
of
offence
,
and
be
without
stain
towards
God
and
towards
man
;
and
it
is
onely
the
Word
of
God
,
and
his
Power
in
the
heart
,
that
works
this
;
it
is
onely
the
operation
of
God's
Spirit
in
and
upon
a
Creature
,
that
works
him
unto
this
;
it
is
not
the
Laws
made
by
man
,
that
doth
it
,
nor
external
Powers
of
the
Earth
that
can
work
it
;
and
therefore
true
Religion
cannot
be
setled
thereby
,
nor
a
Nation
or
a
People
in
it
;
but
onely
that
which
changes
him
,
and
makes
him
religious
,
that
is
it
onely
that
must
settle
Religion
and
Nations
,
and
Peoples
therein
:
and
as
every
one
is
turned
to
that
of
God
in
him
,
and
thereby
to
feel
the
Power
,
and
Word
,
and
Spirit
,
that
doth
change
him
,
and
renew
him
,
as
I
have
said
,
by
this
means
cometh
a
Man
and
Nations
to
be
religious
,
and
to
be
setled
therein
,
and
by
no
other
way
nor
means
,
and
this
is
done
through
the
preaching
of
the
everlasting
Gospel
,
and
through
the
Ministry
of
Christ
,
which
turneth
the
Mindes
of
People
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Satan's
Power
to
God
,
whereby
they
are
changed
and
made
religious
,
and
also
setled
therein
,
and
established
thereby
;
and
it
is
not
by
outward
Laws
,
and
Powers
,
as
I
have
said
.
But
what
are
Peoples
,
and
the
Nations
yet
to
settle
in
Religion
?
And
is
Religion
unsetled
yet
,
that
you
are
craving
Laws
made
by
men
to
settle
Religion
?
What
have
you
preached
for
this
many
years
?
What
have
your
preaching
been
all
in
vain
?
And
have
you
done
no
good
this
many
years
by
your
preaching
,
that
Religion
is
yet
to
settle
?
Oh!
blind
and
ignorant
Men
,
this
is
a
shame
unto
you
;
how
many
thousands
of
thousand
Pounds
have
the
Priests
had
out
of
this
Nation
for
teaching
Religion
,
and
preaching
to
People
,
and
yet
the
Nation
remains
unsettled
in
Religion
,
and
they
are
begging
to
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
to
constrain
,
and
compel
a
settlement
of
Religion
?
and
this
shames
them
,
and
shews
that
they
are
they
that
Paul
speaks
of
,
and
that
the
people
of
this
Nation
are
them
that
are
ever
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
though
you
have
been
long
learning
,
you
are
unsetled
,
and
are
not
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
:
but
had
these
Priests
been
such
that
were
sent
of
the
Lord
,
through
their
Ministry
would
the
Nations
long
since
have
been
setled
in
Religion
,
for
they
have
been
Teachers
long
enough
,
and
put
the
Nation
to
charge
great
enough
,
th●●
people
might
have
known
ere
this
day
the
holy
Anointing
to
dwell
in
them
,
and
to
teach
them
,
and
to
settle
them
in
Religion
;
but
it
is
manifest
that
they
have
ran
,
and
not
been
sent
,
but
left
Peoples
and
Nations
unsetled
as
the
Waters
,
notwithstanding
all
their
preaching
,
and
ministry
for
so
many
years
,
yet
it
seems
there
wants
still
a
settlement
in
Religion
,
and
seeing
their
preaching
hath
had
no
effect
to
do
it
,
but
their
Ministry
hath
been
all
in
vain
,
and
people
are
not
learned
in
Religion
,
not
yet
established
therein
,
whereby
their
Ministry
is
proved
not
to
be
Christ's
Ministry
(
for
the
Apostles
did
settle
people
,
and
the
Churches
in
Religion
,
which
theirs
have
done
no
such
thing
)
and
therefore
it
is
that
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
are
called
to
,
that
they
may
force
by
Violence
,
and
by
violent
Laws
,
that
by
that
means
a
Worship
and
Religion
may
be
settled
,
as
they
say
:
and
their
Ministry
hath
not
drawn
people
by
Love
,
and
therefore
would
they
have
people
forced
and
compelled
to
be
of
such
,
or
such
Religion
;
but
this
is
not
Christ's
Way
,
nor
the
Way
that
his
Apostles
and
true
Churches
were
in
;
for
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
led
each
one
of
them
to
be
religious
,
and
that
same
Spirit
settled
and
established
them
in
it
;
and
not
external
Laws
,
nor
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
but
that
was
Antichrist's
Way
,
and
the
Beast's
and
the
false
Prophets
Way
;
for
when
they
had
killed
the
Saints
,
and
slain
true
Religion
,
then
the
Beast
and
false
Prophets
they
established
a
Religion
or
Worship
by
outward
Laws
;
and
it
s
written
,
That
he
caused
and
compelled
all
,
both
small
and
great
,
bond
and
free
,
to
worship
the
Beast
and
his
Image
;
and
here
was
a
settled
People
in
a
Religion
and
Worship
by
an
outward
compelling
Power
.
And
thus
it
was
then
,
and
is
now
the
same
,
false
Churches
and
false
Religions
are
settled
by
an
outward
Authority
;
and
it
was
Nebuchadnezar
and
his
wicked
Princes
,
that
settled
a
Religion
or
Worship
by
an
outward
Power
,
and
by
an
earthly
Authority
,
but
that
was
not
the
Worship
of
true
Religion
,
but
was
the
Worship
of
Antichrist
,
and
so
it
hath
been
for
Ages
;
that
Worship
that
is
settled
,
and
that
Religion
which
is
established
by
an
outward
external
Power
,
and
the
Laws
of
men
,
is
but
the
Worship
of
Antichrist
,
and
not
the
true
Religion
,
nor
the
Worship
of
the
Living
God
,
which
is
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
but
it
must
all
be
overthrown
and
brought
to
nought
,
both
that
Religion
and
Worship
that
is
out
of
the
Spirit
,
and
that
Power
that
upholds
it
:
and
now
the
Lord
God
is
risen
to
confound
the
thoughts
of
mens
hearts
,
and
he
alone
will
settle
and
establish
Religion
by
his
own
Power
,
and
by
his
own
Law
,
and
through
his
own
Ministry
:
and
as
people
come
to
that
of
God
in
them
,
to
feel
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
the
Lord
God
to
change
them
,
hereby
will
every
one
particularly
be
settled
in
Religion
,
and
by
no
other
way
nor
means
;
and
this
I
know
from
the
Lord
.
But
how
should
people
be
settled
in
Religion
?
for
Peoples
and
Nations
have
been
,
and
are
as
Waters
,
which
have
been
driven
with
the
Winds
,
this
way
,
or
the
other
way
;
and
the
great
Whore
sits
upon
the
Waters
,
and
the
Beast
hath
carried
her
,
and
born
her
up
,
(
false
Worships
and
Churches
and
an
outward
Power
)
and
she
hath
ruled
and
made
all
Nations
drunk
with
her
Cup
of
Fornication
,
and
the
true
Religion
hath
been
lost
for
many
Ages
,
and
the
Sects
and
false
Churches
have
been
set
up
and
established
upon
the
Waters
;
and
as
for
true
Religion
,
it
cannot
be
established
while
Nations
are
Waters
under
the
Whore's
Dominion
:
and
so
the
many
Sects
which
have
been
the
many
Horns
upon
the
Beast
,
and
one
hath
risen
after
another
,
and
one
diverse
from
another
,
and
they
have
been
striving
one
with
another
,
and
persecuting
one
another
,
and
one
subduing
another
,
and
each
one
of
them
hath
cryed
for
help
from
the
Beast
,
and
from
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
to
be
defended
from
the
Power
&
Malice
one
of
another
,
least
one
should
prevail
against
another
,
&
get
the
better
one
of
another
;
and
so
that
Sect
that
could
get
Authority
from
the
Powers
of
the
Earrh
,
and
have
them
of
its
side
,
that
Sect
hath
thriven
,
and
hath
been
settled
more
then
another
which
hath
not
gotten
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
to
defend
it
;
and
so
as
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
have
been
changeable
,
so
hath
Religion
been
changable
;
and
what
Sect
the
Rulers
have
been
on
,
that
have
they
highest
tollerated
,
and
most
defended
against
all
other
:
but
all
this
hath
not
been
the
true
establishment
of
true
Religion
.
But
now
some
may
suppose
,
and
query
,
whether
I
speak
this
,
as
if
I
would
have
Religion
not
at
all
settled
,
and
as
if
I
were
against
the
establishing
of
Religion
;
and
so
thereby
may
be
accused
,
as
if
I
were
an
Enemy
to
all
Religion
,
and
would
not
have
Religion
be
established
,
&c.
To
all
this
I
answer
,
I
am
a
Friend
to
true
Religion
,
and
seeks
the
establishing
of
it
in
the
right
way
,
and
by
the
Ministry
of
Righteousness
,
by
turning
peoples
minds
to
the
Spirit
,
and
to
receive
the
Anointing
that
they
may
be
all
taught
of
God
,
and
true
Worshippers
of
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
and
may
be
settled
in
the
true
Religion
;
and
this
true
Religion
would
I
have
established
in
the
World
,
and
in
the
Nations
,
and
would
have
all
people
therein
established
by
the
Ministry
of
Righteousness
thereunto
ordained
.
But
I
am
against
the
establishing
of
Sects
,
and
the
settling
of
one
Sect
above
another
,
by
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
;
and
I
would
not
have
one
set
up
,
and
an
other
thrown
down
by
the
Laws
of
men
;
for
that
brings
forth
nothing
but
Tyranny
,
and
Oppression
,
and
Strife
and
wickedness
in
a
Nation
,
and
amongst
People
;
though
thus
it
hath
been
for
many
Ages
,
false
Sects
and
false
Churches
have
been
established
by
the
Earth
,
and
external
Laws
,
and
that
Sect
which
the
King
or
Queen
,
or
Ruler
hath
been
of
that
hath
been
set
up
,
and
tollerated
above
the
rest
,
and
the
rest
despised
,
and
persecuted
,
and
set
at
nought
;
for
when
and
where
a
Prince
,
or
a
Ruler
is
of
the
Papists
Religion
,
then
that
Religion
is
the
most
established
and
settled
in
that
Government
;
and
if
at
any
time
a
Ruler
change
to
be
of
the
Protestant
Sect
,
or
one
come
to
govern
that
is
of
that
Religion
,
then
that
Sect
was
the
most
established
and
upheld
;
thus
it
is
through
Nations
,
and
in
England
particularly
within
these
late
years
,
when
King
Henry
the
eighth
turned
from
the
Papists
to
be
a
Protestant
,
then
that
Sect
was
established
,
and
all
other
thrown
down
and
persecuted
;
and
when
Queen
Mary
rose
to
govern
,
which
was
a
Papist
,
then
she
established
that
Sect
and
false
Church
by
Laws
,
and
the
rest
were
limitted
and
thrown
down
:
then
when
the
next
Queen
arose
being
a
Protestant
,
she
established
that
Sect
again
by
outward
Laws
,
and
cast
all
others
down
:
and
thus
it
hath
been
for
many
Ages
throughout
all
Nations
,
of
what
Sect
and
Religion
the
Governor
and
Ruler
hath
been
,
that
Sect
was
onely
established
,
and
all
the
rest
persecuted
,
as
I
have
said
:
and
so
the
saying
is
fulfilled
,
Nations
have
been
Waters
,
and
Peoples
and
Multitudes
Waters
:
And
as
a
King
and
Governor
hath
changed
his
Religion
and
of
what
Sect
as
he
hath
been
,
so
hath
the
Religion
of
the
whole
Nation
or
Country
changed
,
and
such
a
Sect
onely
established
against
all
others
:
but
this
I
cannot
call
the
settlement
of
true
Religion
,
nor
are
the
Nations
and
Peoples
hereby
established
in
true
Religion
,
but
onely
false
Sects
and
false
Religions
have
risen
and
been
established
by
the
Beast's
Power
,
who
hath
carried
the
Whore
;
yea
,
and
though
many
other
Sects
have
risen
,
and
many
other
Horns
appeared
divers
one
from
another
,
out
of
the
many
Heads
of
the
Beast
;
for
his
Heads
have
been
many
,
and
his
Horns
divided
,
and
divers
one
from
another
;
and
each
Head
exalting
his
self
above
another
;
and
each
Horn
pushing
one
at
anther
;
and
each
Sect
and
Horn
crying
to
the
Beast
for
Power
to
be
established
,
and
to
have
others
thrown
down
and
limited
through
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
.
And
thus
hath
it
been
for
Generations
,
and
in
this
Nation
in
particular
;
and
many
Sects
have
risen
besides
the
Papists
and
the
Protestants
,
and
all
these
Sects
have
risen
one
out
of
another
,
and
appeared
divers
one
from
the
other●
;
and
each
one
of
them
have
sought
to
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
for
settlement
and
defence
;
and
that
the
other
that
were
contrary
to
them
,
and
of
another
appearance
might
be
stopt
and
limited
;
and
this
hath
been
done
by
these
Teachers
and
Professors
under
the
account
of
establishment
of
Religion
;
and
they
have
begged
to
Parliaments
and
to
Rulers
for
the
establishment
of
Religion
,
and
for
the
stopping
of
Heresie
,
that
is
to
say
,
for
tollerating
and
defending
of
their
own
Sect
,
which
they
call
Religion
,
and
for
the
stopping
and
subduing
of
all
others
,
which
they
call
Heresie
;
but
confusion
hath
come
upon
all
this
,
and
will
upon
the
like
for
ever
;
and
true
Religion
never
gets
established
by
it
:
but
as
every
new
Sect
hath
appeared
,
that
onely
hath
sought
establishment
against
all
the
rest
.
But
yet
I
say
,
I
am
not
against
establishing
of
true
Religion
,
though
thus
I
speak
,
but
would
have
true
Religion
settled
and
established
,
but
doth
not
seek
to
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
to
have
true
Religion
established
by
earthly
Laws
;
for
that
cannot
establish
true
Religion
,
neither
is
it
at
all
committed
of
the
Lord
to
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
or
to
outward
Authorities
to
establish
Religion
,
or
to
make
men
religious
;
for
that
belongs
to
the
Lord
to
rule
over
,
and
in
mens
Consciences
,
and
to
exercise
them
in
the
true
Religion
:
no
Ruler
by
any
Law
whatsoever
ought
to
exercise
Lordship
over
the
Consciences
of
any
people
,
either
to
exalt
or
throw
down
any
Sect
,
or
Worship
of
Religion
;
for
they
are
with
their
Laws
but
to
rule
the
outward
man
,
to
settle
their
Persons
and
Estates
in
security
,
from
the
wrong
and
unrighteous
dealing
of
wicked
men
,
and
to
limit
all
evil
men
,
and
evil
doers
from
wronging
and
doing
violence
to
mens
Persons
and
Estates
;
this
is
the
work
,
and
the
place
of
Kings
and
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
their
Power
is
onely
committed
to
them
of
the
Lord
to
extend
over
the
outward
man
,
to
defend
and
preserve
that
,
and
be
a
praise
to
all
that
do
well
,
and
live
Righteously
,
and
to
be
a
terror
,
and
limit
,
and
punishers
of
the
unrighteous
evil
and
violent
Doers
,
this
is
the
Magistrates
place
,
and
the
length
and
breadth
and
height
of
his
Authority
,
whether
it
reside
in
King
,
Queen
,
or
any
other
Person
or
Persons
.
But
for
the
exercise
of
Conscience
,
that
is
out
of
their
Power
,
and
over
and
beyond
it
;
it
is
not
committed
of
the
Lord
to
them
to
compel
and
cause
people
from
,
or
to
such
a
Worship
and
Religion
,
it
is
not
the
Magistrates
work
,
but
the
Ministers
,
that
are
sent
of
Christ
to
teach
Religion
:
but
let
all
Sects
have
their
course
,
and
every
Religion
its
liberty
in
a
Nation
or
Country
(
so
that
they
do
no
Violence
to
one
anothers
Persons
and
Estates
)
and
if
they
do
,
then
they
fall
under
the
Magistrates
Power
;
and
then
let
them
be
punished
:
and
let
every
Sect
strive
to
exalt
it self
,
and
to
overthrow
others
,
by
what
authority
it
hath
in
Doctrine
and
forceable
Arguments
;
and
let
them
use
what
Spiritual
Weapons
they
have
,
and
defend
themselves
thereby
,
and
let
them
that
have
the
Spirit
of
God
overcome
,
and
let
them
alone
to
be
established
,
and
let
all
the
rest
be
subdued
before
that
,
and
let
that
alone
to
be
settled
onely
by
the
Power
and
Authority
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
overcomes
all
the
contrary
;
and
let
all
men
,
and
all
of
man's
Power
and
Authority
be
silent
and
quiet
,
and
have
no
hand
in
this
matter
;
and
this
is
the
way
to
establish
Religion
in
a
Nation
,
and
a
Xingdom
:
let
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
have
its
liberty
;
and
let
no
man
whatsoever
limit
it
in
them
in
whom
it
dwells
,
but
let
it
have
its
course
and
its
operation
,
and
its
●ull
authority
by
them
in
whom
it
dwells
,
in
whomsoever
it
〈◊〉
:
and
let
all
Sects
whatsoever
have
their
liberty
in
their
Arguments
,
and
their
Practices
,
and
their
Worship
,
and
then
let
it
be
manifest
,
who
it
is
that
overcomes
,
and
who
it
is
that
is
overcome
;
and
such
as
overcometh
by
the
same
Spirit
and
Power
that
gives
them
Victory
;
by
that
alone
let
true
Religion
be
established
,
and
the
rest
of
all
Sects
bow
under
that
true
Religion
that
overcometh
all
others
by
the
Power
and
Authority
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
is
established
thereby
,
all
other
under
that
shall
bow
;
and
whilst
this
is
in
tryal
and
debate
,
let
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
Rulers
of
the
World
be
all
quiet
,
and
look
on
in
patience
,
and
let
their
Authority
herein
be
exercised
;
not
to
limit
one
,
or
tollerate
one
more
then
another
,
onely
let
them
keep
mens
Persons
and
Estates
in
peace
and
defence
from
the
Injury
and
Malice
and
wrong
dealing
one
of
another
,
as
I
have
said
;
and
here
is
the
way
,
the
true
and
perfect
way
,
for
the
establishing
of
Religion
in
a
Nation
among
people
;
and
if
this
were
brought
to
pass
,
and
had
been
in
Generations
past
,
then
would
not
the
Papists
have
been
prevailed
against
by
the
Protestants
,
they
being
at
the
first
dissenting
from
the
Church
and
Sect
of
the
Papist
,
more
sincere
towards
God
,
and
more
upright
to
him
,
and
in
some
things
more
true
in
Doctrine
and
Worship
,
then
the
other
which
they
dissented
from
,
though
still
in
the
main
but
a
false
Sect
,
and
of
a
false
Religion
,
though
they
hated
the
Whore
in
some
things
,
and
they
would
have
prevailed
against
her
through
that
sincerity
towards
God
,
that
was
in
them
;
but
they
gave
their
Power
to
the
Beast
;
and
would
not
many
other
Sects
have
prevailed
against
them
,
which
have
risen
out
of
this
,
and
dissented
from
her
,
who
was
more
in
the
Sincerity
and
Uprightness
towards
God
,
than
she
?
for
God
blessed
that
,
and
loved
that
,
in
what
measure
soever
,
and
whatsoever
it
be
;
I
say
,
would
not
many
Sects
ere
this
day
have
prevailed
one
against
another
,
had
not
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
stopped
,
and
limitted
whom
they
would
,
and
given
liberty
to
set
up
whom
they
would
?
But
now
the
Light
of
the
Day
is
arisen
,
and
hath
appeared
;
and
the
Lord
is
making
a
Way
to
establish
his
own
Religion
,
by
his
own
Power
;
and
he
is
gathering
his
Seed
,
who
shall
wax
stronger
and
stronger
,
and
shall
prevail
through
all
Opposition
,
through
all
false
Sects
and
false
Worships
of
the
Earth
,
and
they
shall
wax
weaker
and
weaker
,
and
shall
never
be
established
in
Righteousness
;
but
they
and
the
Power
that
upholds
them
,
shall
be
broken
together
;
and
this
will
the
Lord
bring
to
pass
in
his
Day
:
And
thus
I
have
shewed
you
what
true
Religion
is
,
and
how
it
cannot
be
established
,
and
how
it
may
be
;
and
what
the
Authority
of
earthly
Rulers
is
,
and
how
far
it
extends
;
and
do
shew
that
true
Religion
cannot
be
settled
thereby
,
but
by
the
Lord
alone
it
must
;
and
that
it
is
the
Work
of
Christ's
Ministry
,
and
not
of
earthly
Power
by
violent
Laws
to
establish
Religion
.
And
this
is
a
testimony
from
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
to
ye
Rulers
,
and
Parliaments
,
that
make
Laws
,
and
minister
Laws
;
meddle
not
with
Religion
,
to
establish
one
Sect
or
Sects
,
and
to
limit
and
throw
down
others
;
but
fear
the
Lord
God
,
and
wait
for
his
Wisdom
,
and
remember
that
that
hath
been
a
Rock
whereupon
many
before
you
have
been
split
,
and
brought
into
confusion
;
even
when
they
have
gone
about
to
limit
,
or
stop
,
or
establish
Religion
,
how
have
they
been
confounded
,
and
never
had
success
from
the
Lord
to
such
endeavors
;
for
the
Lord
hath
never
shewed
countenance
,
for
many
Generations
,
to
such
as
have
attempted
to
make
men
religious
by
outward
Laws
,
and
to
settle
Nations
therein
by
outward
Laws
.
Wherefore
now
be
wise
,
ye
Rulers
,
and
kiss
the
Son
;
for
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
is
already
kindled
,
and
he
will
break
in
pieces
,
and
dash
Babylon's
Children
against
the
Stones
,
and
confound
the
great
Whore
(
the
false
Church
)
and
all
false
Sects
,
her
Daughters
who
have
been
brought
forth
,
and
set
up
in
Nations
ever
since
the
Woman
(
the
true
Church
)
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
the
Beast
hath
carried
the
Whore
,
born
her
,
and
upheld
her
;
and
she
hath
journeyed
through
Nations
upon
the
Beast
;
and
the
Beast
hath
defended
her
;
if
any
man
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
:
and
this
is
a
Visitation
to
ye
Rulers
,
and
to
all
that
make
Laws
,
and
minister
Laws
.
By
a
Friend
to
Righteous
Men.
E.

Satan's
Design
DEFEATED
:
In
a
Short
Answer
to
a
Manuscript
sent
by
a
Priest
out
of
Sussex
,
to
a
Member
of
this
present
Parliament
,
full
of
railing
Accusations
,
whereby
he
hath
secretly
smitten
the
Innocent
,
by
a
secret
desiring
the
Persecution
of
the
People
of
God
.
But
herein
his
Folly
and
Madness
doth
appear
,
that
while
he
hath
accused
others
falsly
,
himself
is
found
guilty
of
the
same
thing
.
With
Invitations
of
Love
to
the
present
Authority
,
that
they
may
save
themselves
from
being
the
Executioners
of
the
Priests
malice
,
least
the
Lord
destroy
them
.
A
Certain
Paper
being
come
to
my
hand
(
which
is
said
to
be
written
by
one
Priest
Iackson
,
and
sent
to
a
Member
of
Parliament
)
containing
divers
Particulars
charged
as
Errors
upon
the
dispised
People
called
Quakers
,
wherein
he
saith
he
hath
set
down
some
of
their
Tenents
which
they
maintain
;
unto
which
Manuscript
I
am
moved
to
write
something
in
answer
,
as
to
clear
the
Truth
from
his
foul
Aspertions
which
he
casts
upon
it
;
to
the
intent
that
the
said
Member
of
Parliament
,
and
the
whole
House
may
be
better
satisfied
and
resolved
,
wherein
they
doubt
of
every
Particular
,
that
the
Truth
may
appear
,
when
as
the
foul
Vail
of
the
Darkness
and
Slanders
is
removed
.
That
the
Holy
Scriptures
are
not
the
Word
of
God
,
nor
the
Saints
Rule
of
Faith
His
first
Particular
.
and
Life
,
neither
is
it
the
duty
of
every
one
to
search
them
.
Answ.
The
Holy
Scriptures
that
were
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
as
holy
men
of
God
were
moved
,
they
are
the
Words
of
God
,
and
a
Declaration

and
that
which
the
Saints
had
handled
and
tasted
of
the
Word
of
Life
,
that
they
declared
forth
in
Words
and
Writings
,
Acts
1.
1.
and
the
Scriptures
as
they
were
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
are
a
true
Declaration
of
what
is
to
be
believed
and
practised
in
relation
to
eternal
Salvation
;
It
is
a
true
Testimony
concerning
God
,
and
his
mighty
Works
,
and
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
it
is
a
Testimony
also
of
the
Devil
,
and
what
he
is
,
and
of
his
Deceits
,
and
Errors
,
and
U●righteousness
:
so
the
Scriptures
are
Words
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
;
but
Christ
is
the
Word
that
was
before
the
Scriptures
were
;
for
in
the
begining
was
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
World
was
made
by
it
,
and
the
Word
shall
endure
for
ever
;
and
Christ's
Name
is
called
the
Word
of
God
:
And
though
the
Scriptures
are
profitable
,
and
were
given
forth
to
be
read
,
and
to
be
fulfilled
,
yet
they
are
not
the
Rule
and
Guide
of
Faith
and
Life
unto
the
Saints
,
but
the
Spirit
of
God
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
that
is
the
Rule
,
and
Guide
,
the
Teacher
and
Leader
into
all
Truth
;
and
them
that
are
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
are
the
Sons
of
God
;
and
if
you
walk
in
the
Spirit
saith
the
Apostle
,
you
shall
live
,
and
as
many
as
walk
acording
to
this
(
to
wit
,
of
the
Spirit
)
Peace
is
upon
them
;
and
so
the
Spirit
of
God
is
the
Rule
of
the
Saints
Faith
and
Life
;
and
the
Spirit
leads
them
to
walk
in
the
fulfilling
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
according
to
them
.
And
as
for
all
the
Priests
in
England
,
who
do
profess
the
Scriptures
to
be
their
Rule
,
out
of
their
own
Mouthes
will
God
judge
them
,
who
are
found
walking
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
in
Life
,
and
Doctrine
,
and
Practises
,
while
they
cry
it
up
for
their
Rule
;
and
condemn
all
that
will
not
say
as
they
●ay
.
And
the
last
part
of
this
Proposition
is
utterly
false
;
for
we
never
do
assert
that
it
is
not
the
duty
of
every
one
to
search
them
;
but
we
bid
every
one
search
the
Scriptures
,
and
every
one
ought
to
search
them
;
but
yet
we
say
,
that
none
understands
them
,
but
who
have
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
forth
,
nor
none
can
profit
thereby
,
but
by
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
forth
,
which
works
the
same
Truth
in
the
Heart
,
which
the
Scriptures
without
declare
of
;
and
this
I
do
affirm
,
they
are
the
Words
of
God
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
is
the
Rule
of
Faith
and
Life
to
the
Saints
;
and
all
men
ought
to
search
the
Scriptures
,
and
to
believe
what
is
therein
written
,
and
to
receive
and
enjoy
Christ
,
who
is
the
Substance
and
the
End
of
all
Things
,
the
first
and
last
,
the
beginning
and
ending
;
and
in
him
the
Scriptures
are
fulfilled
,
and
finished
.
They
do
deny
the
Doctrine
of
the
Trinity
,
and
that
Christ
is
God
and
Man
in
one
His
second
Particular
.
Person
.
Answ.
As
for
the
word
Trinity
,
it
is
invented
,
and
he
hath
learnt
it
out
of
the
Mass-Book
,
or
Common-Prayer-Book
,
but
we
own
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
that
Christ
is
God
,
and
the
Spirit
is
God
;
and
there
are
three
that
bear
record
,
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
Spirit
,
and
these
are
one
,
but
God
and
the
Spirit
are
not
Persons
,
but
Infinite
Beeings
;
and
the
Scripture
no
where
,
in
true
Translations
,
expresseth
God
under
the
Name
Person
;
for
Person
is
too
Carnal
to
express
God
,
and
Christ
,
and
the
Spirit
by
:
but
God
was
in
Christ
reconciling
the
World
,
and
this
we
believe
and
acknowledge
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
but
for
this
word
,
Doctrine
of
the
Trinity
,
the
Scriptures
know
no
such
word
,
but
the
Truth
we
own
,
and
the
Gospel
and
the
Scriptures
too
.
They
hold
that
Iesus
Christ
died
onely
signally
,
or
examplarily
,
and
that
we
are
justified
His
third
Particular
.
by
the
Suffering
of
Christ
in
us
,
and
to
be
healed
by
his
Stripes
,
is
to
be
stripped
off
,
or
from
Sin
.
Answ.
Jesus
Christ
died
,
and
rose
again
,
and
ascended
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
this
we
do
believe
:
And
Christ
was
and
is
the
Substance
,
the
end
of
all
Signs
and
Examples
,
yet
was
he
an
Example
to
the
Saints
;
and
the
Apostle
exhorted
to
walk
as
they
had
Christ
for
an
example
;
and
while
he
was
in
the
World
he
did
and
spoke
and
acted
many
things
as
Parables
,
Signs
and
Examples
,
the
substance
of
which
is
to
be
received
in
the
Saints
,
and
known
by
them
through
the
Spirit
;
and
we
believe
Saints
are
justified
by
Christ
,
and
through
Faith
in
him
,
which
was
,
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
who
is
blessed
for
ever
;
and
none
are
justified
by
his
Death
and
Suffering
and
Blood
without
them
,
but
who
witness
Christ
within
them
;
for
all
are
Reprobates
,
and
to
be
condemned
and
cannot
be
justified
that
have
not
Christ
in
them
,
as
thou
mayest
read
,
(
Except
Christ
be
in
you
,
you
are
Reprobates
)
and
all
that
believe
in
Christ
and
receive
him
,
they
are
healed
through
his
Sufferings
and
Stripes
;
for
he
sanctifies
them
,
and
gives
them
Remission
of
Sin
,
and
justifies
them
,
and
in
him
the
Saints
are
compleat
,
and
the
New-man
(
the
Regenerate
)
is
justified
,
and
the
old-man
is
in
the
Degeneration
,
and
knows
not
Christ
in
him
,
and
hath
not
received
him
,
but
onely
heard
of
him
without
him
,
and
believes
the
Relation
:
but
this
faith
doth
not
justifie
;
for
all
the
false
Christians
upon
Earth
have
this
faith
:
but
that
Faith
alone
justifies
which
gives
to
receive
Christ
,
and
him
to
live
in
us
,
and
to
dwell
in
us
by
that
Faith
.
They
utterly
renounce
the
Doctrine
of
Iustification
by
the
imputation
of
the
Righteousness
His
fourth
particular
.
of
Christ
,
or
by
the
obedience
he
performed
,
or
Sufferings
he
sustained
or
underwent
in
his
own
Person
without
us
.
Answ.
This
is
partly
true
,
and
partly
a
Lye
;
we
do
indeed
renounce
the
profession
of
Justification
by
the
Imputation
of
Christ
or
his
Righteousness
performed
without
men
,
by
men
while
they
are
in
the
degenerated
estate
,
and
unconverted
,
and
unreconciled
,
and
unborn
again
;
for
by
such
profession
of
Justification
many
deceive
their
Souls
:
but
yet
we
say
,
that
Righteousness
is
imputed
to
us
,
and
reckoned
unto
us
who
believe
in
Christ
,
and
have
received
him
,
even
the
Obedience
and
Sufferings
that
he
performed
without
us
,
is
ours
,
who
have
received
him
within
us
,
and
witnesseth
Christ
in
us
,
and
therefore
we
are
not
Reprobates
;
yet
we
do
acknowledge
he
wrought
perfect
Righteousness
by
Obedience
and
Sufferings
without
us
,
and
that
Righteousness
is
ours
by
Faith
,
which
Faith
hath
received
Christ
to
dwell
in
us
,
and
he
and
his
Righteousness
,
his
Obedience
and
Sufferings
we
enjoy
in
us
in
Spirit
;
if
any
can
receive
it
let
them
:
for
that
he
wrought
Righteousness
this
is
acknowledged
;
but
who
have
a
part
in
this
Righteousness
,
that
is
disputable
.
They
wholly
renounce
the
Doctrine
of
Election
and
Reprobation
,
and
it
is
one
of
His
fifth
particular
.
the
great
Reasons
for
which
they
decry
the
Ministers
because
they
assert
it
;
they
say
Jacob
and
Esau
are
in
a
man
,
and
the
good
Seed
is
Jacob
which
God
electeth
,
and
the
bad
Seed
is
Esau
which
he
reprobates
.
Answ.
The
Doctrine
of
Election
and
Reprobation
we
do
own
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
therefore
hast
thou
belied
us
,
and
slandered
us
,
and
art
found
reproveable
,
and
would
incense
mens
minds
against
us
for
advantage
to
thy self
;
but
to
some
in
that
House
we
are
better
known
then
thou
canst
report
of
us
;
and
yet
thou
sayest
we
say
,
that
Iacob
and
Esau
are
in
a
man
,
and
the
good
Seed
God
electet●
,
and
the
bad
he
reprobates
,
and
thou
mayest
here
see
thy
confusion
and
thy
ignorance
uttered
in
the
self
same
Lines
;
for
thou
sayest
we
renounce
the
Doctrine
of
Election
and
Reprobation
,
and
yet
sayest
we
say
,
the
good
Seed
God
electet●
,
and
the
bad
Seed
he
reprobateth
:
and
this
shews
what
spirit
thou
art
of
,
and
how
that
the
spirit
of
unrighteousness
doth
possess
thee
,
and
leads
thee
to
speak
without
understanding
;
and
we
further
say
,
man
being
degenerated
,
became
reprobated
and
cast
out
,
and
all
by
nature
are
Children
of
Wrath
,
and
the
Children
of
Wrath
are
all
in
the
reprobate
State
,
and
none
are
elected
but
who
are
elected
in
Christ
the
Seed
of
David
;
and
so
in
the
first
Adam
all
are
reprobated
,
and
all
that
are
in
the
second
Adam
are
elected
;
and
the
Election
and
Reprobation
stands
not
in
the
Persons
,
but
in
the
Seeds
,
and
yet
the
Persons
are
blessed
or
cursed
,
in
the
love
,
or
in
the
displeasure
of
God
,
according
as
the
Seed
of
God
,
or
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
lives
and
dwells
and
bears
rule
in
the
Persons
;
and
we
do
indeed
decry
and
deny
you
the
professed
Ministers
,
upon
many
accounts
more
then
one
;
and
we
have
already
,
and
may
in
time
to
come
shew
sufficient
Reasons
against
you
,
both
in
Doctrine
and
Practise
and
other
wayes
,
that
you
are
not
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
the
Ministers
of
Satan
generally
.
That
Iesus
Christ
as
he
is
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
and
the
Seed
of
Abraham
is
in
every
one
,
and
that
a
measure
or
part
of
the
Substance
that
was
conceived
in
the
Womb
His
sixth
particular
.
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
is
in
every
one
.
Answ.
Jesus
Christ
he
is
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
,
and
the
Seed
of
Abrah●…
according
to
the
Flesh
,
and
after
the
Spirit
the
Son
of
the
Living
God
;
and
this
Christ
that
was
,
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
who
was
dead
,
but
is
alive
,
and
lives
for
evermore
,
the
alone
Saviour
of
the
World
,
he
hath
given
a
measure
of
Light
and
Life
unto
every
man
,
and
there
is
a
Light
from
him
that
shines
in
the
heart
,
of
all
men
,
shining
in
Darkness
;
the
Light
shines
,
but
the
Darkness
comprehends
it
not
;
and
this
was
Iohn's
Testimony
,
and
is
our
Testimony
,
That
Christ
enlightneth
every
man
,
or
all
Man-kind
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
for
in
him
was
Life
,
and
the
Life
was
the
Light
of
men
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
;
and
the
Apostle
preached
the
Light
that
shined
in
peoples
hearts
,
and
it
was
that
Light
that
gave
them
the
Light
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Glory
of
God
:
but
thou
hast
discovered
thy self
to
be
a
Stumbler
at
the
stumbling-stone
,
and
hath
taken
offence
at
the
Light
,
like
the
Pharisees
who
professed
the
Scriptures
as
the
Priests
of
England
do
,
but
were
ignorant
of
the
Life
,
the
end
of
the
words
,
and
knew
not
Christ
the
Substance
:
but
the
Stone
at
which
you
stumble
,
will
break
you
to
pieces
,
and
grind
you
to
powder
,
even
Christ
the
Light
of
the
World
,
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
.
That
the
Soul
is
a
part
or
measure
of
God
(
as
they
speak
)
and
not
a
part
of
man
,
but
uncreated
;
and
so
is
that
Light
which
is
in
every
one
.
His
seventh
particular
.
Answ.
The
Soul
is
immortal
,
and
God
is
immortal
;
for
God
breathed
into
man
the
Breath
of
Life
,
and
he
became
a
Living
Soul
(
as
saith
the
Scripture
)
and
the
Soul
is
related
to
God
;
for
what
a
man
works
against
God
,
it
is
against
his
own
Soul
;
for
all
Sin
is
against
God
,
and
against
a
man's
own
Soul
:
And
God
who
hath
all
Souls
in
his
hand
,
who
is
the
Creator
,
and
gave
Life
into
the
Soul
that
is
immortal
,
and
can
never
die
,
though
Death
hath
passed
over
it
,
and
hath
reigned
over
all
from
Adam
till
Moses
;
and
Christ
is
the
Light
of
the
World
that
gives
Life
unto
the
Soul
;
and
he
raiseth
up
the
Soul
out
of
Death
and
Misery
,
and
brings
the
Soul
to
rejoyce
in
God
its
Saviour
;
and
Christ
is
the
Souls
Bishop
,
its
Pastor
,
and
Feeder
,
and
who
knows
Christ
,
knows
him
that
was
before
the
World
was
made
,
and
sees
to
the
beginning
,
and
to
the
ending
,
and
his
Soul
rests
in
God
that
is
over
all
.
That
the
Light
in
the
Heathen
,
who
never
heard
that
Iesus
Christ
died
at
Jerusalem
His
eighth
particular
.
is
the
same
for
the
quality
of
it
,
with
that
which
is
in
the
most
godly
Person
;
onely
there
is
a
difference
in
the
quantity
;
And
men
are
reconciled
to
God
by
following
of
it
;
This
Light
they
say
is
the
sure
Word
of
Prophesie
,
and
that
it
is
sufficient
to
lead
out
of
all
Sin
unto
God
.
Answ.
The
Testimony
of
Iohn
is
,
that
Christ
is
the
Light
that
lighteth
every
m●n
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
and
if
every
man
,
then
the
Heathen
,
who
hath
not
the
relation
of
Christ's
Life
,
and
his
Death
at
Ierusalem
,
yea
and
it
is
the
same
Light
that
is
in
the
Heathen
,
the
same
in
nature
and
kind
,
as
it
is
in
the
Saints
;
for
the
Comforter
,
the
Spirit
of
Truth
is
one
in
it self
and
the
same
,
though
it
comforteth
the
Saints
,
and
reproveth
the
World
,
and
the
Wicked
for
their
sins
:
And
men
are
reconciled
to
God
by
Christ
;
for
he
was
in
God
reconciling
to
himself
,
and
none
are
reconciled
but
who
walk
in
the
Light
,
and
follows
it
;
for
who
walks
in
the
Light
,
the
Blood
of
Christ
cleanseth
them
〈◊〉
all
Si●
,
and
they
are
reconciled
,
and
none
else
:
And
the
Word
of
God
is
in
the
Heart
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
Deut.
30.
Rom.
10.
and
that
is
the
Word
of
Prophesie
,
and
that
Word
is
sufficient
to
lead
out
of
all
Sin
unto
God
,
if
men
believe
in
Jesus
and
receiveth
him
:
and
the
Spirit
of
Truth
leadeth
into
all
Truth
,
all
that
follow
it
.
That
Christ
as
man
is
not
in
Heaven
,
yea
,
that
he
hath
ceased
to
be
man
,
and
conseq●…ly
to
be
Mediator
;
and
when
I
told
them
he
should
come
in
the
Clouds
in
like
His
ninth
particular
.
〈◊〉
as
he
ascended
,
and
that
at
his
coming
the
Elements
melteth
;
one
of
their
〈◊〉
told
me
,
that
the
Clouds
were
scattered
,
and
the
Elements
melted
in
him
.
Answ.
Christ
Jesus
is
ascended
into
Heaven
,
and
sits
at
the
right
Hand
of
the
Father
,
yea
he
is
ascended
far
above
all
Heavens
,
as
saith
the
Scripture
:
But
that
is
utterly
false
,
whereas
thou
sayest
,
we
say
he
ceased
to
be
man
,
that
is
●y
Lye
,
and
so
I
pass
it
:
And
we
believe
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
that
〈◊〉
shall
come
in
like
manner
as
he
ascended
,
and
at
his
coming
the
Elements
shall
melt
:
And
it
is
not
error
for
a
man
to
say
the
Clouds
are
scattered
,
and
●●e
Elements
melted
in
him
;
for
Clouds
are
Darkness
,
and
covers
the
face
of
the
Sun
many
times
,
as
thou
mayest
behold
in
the
Firmament
:
But
Darkness
is
yet
over
thy
Heart
,
and
the
Elements
are
not
melted
away
;
and
therefore
thou
art
in
thy
Imaginations
,
putting
Light
for
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
for
Light
,
and
calling
Evil
Good
,
and
Good
Evil.
That
the
Bodies
of
Men
shall
never
rise
again
after
death
;
and
that
the
day
of
Iudgement
is
come
already
;
and
that
now
the
Saints
do
judge
the
World
.
His
tenth
Particular
.
Answ.
We
do
believe
the
Resurrection
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
For
if
onely
in
this
Life
we
have
Hope
,
we
were
of
all
men
most
miserable
:
And
we
believe
that
the
Dead
shall
arise
again
after
death
,
and
every
one
shall
receive
according
to
the
Deeds
done
in
the
Body
;
they
that
have
done
Evil
shall
arise
to
Eternal
Condemnation
,
and
they
that
have
done
Good
to
Eternal
Salvation
▪
in
the
day
of
Judgement
:
And
the
Lord
cometh
with
,
and
in
ten
thousand
of
his
Saints
to
judge
the
World
,
and
the
Saints
upon
Earth
do
receive
the
Spirit
of
Judgement
,
and
do
judge
the
World
,
even
all
things
;
for
the
spiritual
Man
judgeth
all
things
,
even
in
this
present
Age
;
if
thou
canst
receive
it
thou
mayest
.
They
are
utterly
against
Water-Baptism
,
and
administring
of
the
Lord's
Supper
His
eleventh
Particular
.
with
Bread
and
Wine
,
because
they
say
,
they
have
the
Substance
of
all
within
.
Answ.
As
for
Baptism
and
the
Supper
of
the
Lord
we
do
own
it
,
and
it
is
practiced
of
us
in
the
Life
and
Power
of
God
;
but
as
for
your
Baptism
,
that
is
to
say
,
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
calling
it
the
Baptism
into
the
Faith
,
and
that
they
are
made
Members
of
the
Church
thereby
;
and
that
it
is
a
Seal
of
Regeneration
,
as
you
say
in
your
Common-Prayer-Book
and
Directory
,
that
we
do
utterly
deny
,
and
do
say
it
is
no
Ordinance
of
God
,
neither
was
it
ever
commanded
by
him
,
or
practiced
by
his
Saints
,
but
is
an
Institution
of
the
Whore
of
Rome
,
and
England
received
it
by
a
Popish
Institution
,
and
your
practice
of
it
is
Idolatry
,
and
not
any
part
of
the
true
Worship
of
God
:
And
as
for
your
breaking
Bread
,
and
drinking
Wine
,
in
that
manner
and
form
as
it
is
practiced
in
the
Church
of
England
among
the
Unconverted
and
Unregenerated
,
that
we
utterly
deny
also
to
be
of
God
,
or
to
be
ever
commanded
of
him
or
practiced
by
his
Saints
;
and
this
is
neither
Heresie
nor
Error
in
us
,
but
true
bearing
witness
against
your
Idolatrous
Wayes
,
and
Practices
,
with
which
the
Nations
are
deceived
,
whom
the
Whore
causeth
to
drink
her
Cup
;
even
all
people
have
drunk
her
Cup
,
and
she
hath
drunk
the
Blood
of
them
that
would
not
;
and
she
hath
long
sate
upon
Nations
,
Peoples
,
and
Multitudes
,
but
now
she
is
made
bare
and
discovered
,
and
all
you
her
false
Ministers
:
And
whereas
the
Author
doth
say
,
These
are
some
of
the
strange
and
horrid
Opinions
which
they
have
audaciously
invented
,
&c.
Answ.
It
is
no
strange
thing
that
Truth
be
called
Heresie
and
Error
;
and
that
it
be
branded
with
a
Name
of
strange
and
horrid
Opinions
,
and
such
like
;
but
we
do
acknowledge
,
that
in
that
Way
which
is
called
Heresie
do
we
worship
the
True
and
Living
God
,
and
wo
will
be
unto
them
that
put
Light
for
Darkness
and
Darkness
for
Light
:
But
when
these
particular
Things
,
and
their
Answers
are
tru●ly
read
and
weighed
,
then
let
spiritual
Men
judge
;
for
this
Author
must
not
be
Judge
in
his
own
Cause
,
whose
judgement
is
corrupted
,
and
his
wayes
Abomination
:
And
it
hath
been
the
Work
of
that
Generation
(
of
those
called
Ministers
I
mean
)
for
these
seven
years
to
cry
out
to
the
Magistrates
,
and
to
send
one
Paper
after
another
of
this
nature
to
them
;
but
what
hath
it
advantaged
them
?
for
hath
not
the
Lord
turned
their
Wisdom
backward
?
and
even
the
Way
which
they
have
thought
to
destroy
the
Heritage
of
the
Lord
,
the
Lord
hereby
hath
made
his
Heritage
more
glorious
;
and
so
the●
have
striven
against
the
Lord
,
and
altogether
in
vain
,
and
their
doings
shall
they
eat
the
fruit
of
,
and
receive
the
reward
of
their
own
Work
.
And
whereas
the
Author
further
saith
,
Such
as
have
saving
work
in
their
Souls
,
and
that
k●●w
God
and
Christ
,
&c.
cannot
but
bless
God
for
keeping
them
from
the
great
Black●●ss
and
Darkness
,
that
hath
invaded
the
Souls
of
these
deluded
Wretches
.
Answ.
They
that
know
the
saving
Work
in
their
souls
,
and
that
know
God
and
Christ
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
that
call
upon
him
with
an
upright
Heart
,
we
are
all
one
with
them
,
and
they
with
us
:
And
they
alone
that
walk
in
the
Light
that
Christ
hath
enlightned
them
withall
,
are
kept
from
the
Darkness
that
doth
invade
the
Deluded
:
and
as
for
thy
envious
reflection
,
〈◊〉
y●●r
deluded
Wretches
,
and
such
like
;
these
words
are
to
thy self
,
for
they
have
no
entrance
into
our
Dwellings
,
the
Lord
hath
saved
us
by
his
right
Hand
,
and
we
bear
them
as
his
Reproaches
for
Righteousness
sake
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
It
is
very
sad
that
after
so
much
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
so
many
should
take
those
things
for
new
Lights
,
which
are
but
antiquated
Errors
,
&c.
Answ.
It
is
very
sad
indeed
,
that
the
Ministers
of
this
Nation
should
have
so
fair
a
Profession
upon
them
,
and
should
put
the
Nation
to
so
much
charge
,
by
giving
them
Tyth●s
,
and
Stipends
,
and
Money
,
and
have
spoiled
peoples
Goods
,
and
cast
their
Bodies
into
Prisons
,
even
of
many
hundreds
that
would
not
pay
them
:
And
yet
the
Nation
should
be
left
in
Darkness
,
and
like
an
untilled
Wilderness
,
notwithstanding
all
the
Profession
of
preaching
the
Gospel
;
for
the
Nation
hath
been
like
an
untilled
Field
,
and
like
People
,
like
Pri●●●
,
like
Shepherd
,
like
Sheep
,
as
it
is
,
especially
amongst
them
where
Shephe●●s
and
the
Sheep
are
risen
in
Rebellion
against
the
Nation
,
and
have
joyned
with
〈◊〉
old
Caveliers
:
But
this
shews
,
that
your
preaching
hath
been
for
En●●
to
your selves
,
and
for
Money
,
and
that
you
have
been
Ministers
of
the
Letter
,
and
not
of
the
Spirit
,
nor
of
the
Power
of
God
;
for
had
you
been
in
the
Life
,
and
Preachers
of
the
true
Gospel
,
the
Nations
had
been
as
a
Garden
at
this
day
,
and
not
like
an
unploughed
Field
,
as
we
see
they
are
;
people
abounding
in
Ungodliness
,
and
in
all
Pride
,
and
Vanity
,
which
is
a
shame
to
Christianity
;
Now
People
and
Ministers
,
have
made
a
shew
of
the
Gospel
,
but
have
been
without
the
Power
,
in
the
Form
of
godliness
;
and
have
had
the
Form
,
but
resisted
the
Power
:
And
indeed
the
Ignorance
of
the
People
,
will
lie
upon
their
Ministers
,
who
have
been
crying
Peace
to
them
,
that
have
walked
after
the
Imaginations
of
their
own
Hearts
;
and
have
not
turned
the
Wicked
from
his
wicked
Way
;
and
the
Scriptures
are
fulfilled
upon
them
,
They
have
run
,
but
God
hath
not
sent
them
,
therefore
the
People
have
not
at
all
been
profited
by
them
:
But
the
Light
of
the
Glorious
Gospel
is
risen
in
mens
Hearts
,
a●d
your
Folly
and
Vanity
is
discovered
,
and
that
makes
you
rage
and
swell
as
a
foaming
Sea
;
now
when
your
shame
is
seen
,
you
are
casting
out
Slanders
and
Reproaches
,
thinking
thereby
to
sedu●e
the
Minds
of
people
,
thinking
alwayes
to
keep
the
Magistrates
on
your
side
,
and
to
ride
upon
them
;
and
that
they
will
establish
you
in
Freedom
,
and
destroy
them
that
are
against
you
:
but
the
Lord
is
opening
their
Eyes
to
behold
your
Deceit
and
Madness
,
and
you
will
be
left
unto
your selves
,
and
fall
into
the
Pit
that
you
have
digged
for
others
.
And
whereas
this
Author
doth
further
compare
this
poor
People
,
which
he
in
scorn
calls
Quakers
,
with
several
pestilent
Hereticks
,
as
he
calls
them
,
that
have
disturbed
the
Church
;
and
saith
he
,
They
agree
with
the
Adamites
,
and
Pharisees
,
and
Sadduces
,
and
with
the
Mann●chies
,
with
the
Jews
,
Turks
,
Servebus
,
and
with
the
Soscinians
,
and
many
more
which
he
names
,
and
saith
,
we
agree
with
them
;
and
〈◊〉
is
to
render
us
odious
,
and
as
abominable
as
he
c●●
,
to
m●n
in
Authority
.
To
all
which
I
do
answer
,
What
we
do
profess
,
and
practise
for
Religion
,
we
have
not
been
learnt
by
Man
,
nor
been
taught
it
by
Men
;
not
our
Gospel
,
no●
Religion
;
but
we
have
received
it
from
the
Lord
,
and
of
him
are
we
taught
,
and
by
the
Spirit
led
into
all
Truth
:
and
though
thou
hast
done
as
the
Pharisees
did
,
they
reckoned
Christ
with
Transgressors
,
and
crucified
him
betwixt
two
Thieves
;
so
though
thou
hast
compared
us
with
such
and
such
,
whom
thou
callest
Hereticks
,
and
it
is
possible
many
of
them
might
be
so
:
And
so
thou
hast
shewed
the
spirit
of
the
Pharisees
,
and
of
the
Murderers
,
that
denyed
Christ
;
and
we
are
known
unto
the
Lord
what
we
are
,
though
not
unto
mortal
Mans
wisdom
,
that
perisheth
:
And
to
whom
shall
we
more
truly
compare
the
Ministers
of
England
?
Are
they
not
like
those
which
Isaiah
cryed
against
,
That
sought
,
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
that
were
Greedy
Dumb
Doggs
?
and
like
them
that
Ieremiah
cryed
against
,
that
said
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
,
when
the
Lord
had
never
spoken
to
them
,
nor
sent
them
?
and
are
not
you
all
like
them
that
Micah
cryed
against
,
chap.
3.
That
preached
for
Hire
,
and
divined
for
Money
,
and
that
prepared
War
against
those
that
would
not
put
into
their
Mouthes
,
as
you
do
at
this
day
?
and
are
not
you
like
them
that
Ezekiel
cryed
against
,
that
made
a
Prey
upon
the
Flock
,
and
made
Merchandize
of
Souls
,
and
fed
themselves
with
the
Fat
,
and
did
not
feed
the
Flock
;
but
ruled
over
them
with
Force
and
Cruelty
?
and
are
not
you
like
those
that
Christ
cryed
wo
against
,
That
were
called
of
men
Master
,
that
went
in
long
Robes
,
and
loved
Greeting
in
the
Markets
,
and
uppermost
R●oms
at
Feasts
;
for
you
act
those
things
that
Christ
cryed
Wo
against
the
Pharisees
,
who
did
the
same
things
?
and
are
not
you
like
them
that
Paul
spoke
of
,
That
were
heady
,
and
high-minded
men
,
and
covetous
,
and
Proud
,
and
went
in
the
way
of
Balaam
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
that
through
Covetousness
,
with
feigned
words
,
made
Merchandize
of
Souls
?
And
are
not
you
like
them
that
Iohn
saw
were
coming
in
,
in
his
dayes
,
That
went
out
from
them
,
and
that
went
into
the
world
,
that
were
of
the
world
,
and
spoke
of
the
world
,
and
the
world
heard
them
,
and
which
the
World
went
after
?
and
are
not
you
of
them
that
have
deceived
the
whole
World
,
that
hath
been
of
the
Whore
,
that
hath
caused
all
Nations
to
drink
her
Cup
,
and
of
them
that
have
made
War
against
the
Saints
,
and
against
the
Lamb
,
of
that
stock
of
the
false
Prophets
,
that
wrought
Miracles
in
the
sight
of
the
Beast
?
and
the
World
wonders
after
the
Beast
,
and
the
Beast
hath
carried
the
Whore
,
and
he
hath
compelled
and
caused
all
to
worship
him
;
and
the
Whore
caused
all
to
drink
of
the
Cup
of
her
Fornication
:
Are
not
these
things
so
?
may
not
the
Witness
of
God
in
all
mens
Consciences
truly
answer
hereunto
,
and
condemn
you
to
be
such
as
were
the
false
Prophets
,
and
the
Hirelings
and
the
Deceivers
,
against
whom
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
gave
witness
?
Yea
,
it
is
manifest
that
you
are
in
the
same
way
,
and
of
the
same
Generation
,
and
that
you
follow
the
same
spirit
,
because
you
shew
forth
the
same
works
:
And
are
not
you
like
the
Papists
and
the
Iesuits
?
was
it
not
by
the
Authority
of
the
Pope
of
Rome
that
your
very
way
of
making
Ministers
was
ordained
at
Schools
and
Colledges
?
and
was
it
not
the
Papists
,
and
in
their
dayes
,
that
the
general
part
of
your
Church-Discipline
and
Government
,
the
Call
of
your
Ministers
,
and
Practise
of
them
,
and
Maintenance
of
them
;
was
it
not
first
set
up
by
the
Papists
?
Was
not
this
way
of
Tythes
first
established
by
the
Church
of
Rome
?
and
do
not
you
follow
the
Papists
herein
,
in
receiving
Tythes
,
and
Gleab-lands
,
and
Easter-Reckonings
and
Midsummer-Dues
,
which
you
hold
up
,
and
would
destroy
them
that
will
not
give
you
such
things
?
and
therefore
are
not
you
like
the
Papists
and
Jesuits
?
yea
;
we
know
that
the
Church
of
England
is
but
newly
come
out
of
the
Womb
of
Popery
,
and
hath
the
Symptoms
thereof
upon
her
at
this
very
day
in
many
things
;
yea
,
the
Testimony
of
God
in
all
people
may
witness
hereunto
:
And
so
it
is
the
very
trick
of
the
Whore
,
to
cry
out
against
others
,
and
to
charge
others
with
that
which
she
is
guilty
of
her self
;
but
now
it
will
not
cover
them
,
to
slander
others
that
themselves
may
seem
clear
;
for
the
Lord
is
opening
peoples
Hearts
,
and
giving
them
a
Spirit
to
discern
all
things
.
And
whereas
the
Author
speaks
against
the
Quakers
,
for
crying
against
Cuffs
,
Caps
,
and
for
using
Thee
and
Thou
;
and
for
crying
against
Pulpits
,
and
Hour-Glasses
,
and
for
such
things
;
and
for
owning
Revelation
,
and
for
holding
the
free
Grace
of
God
to
be
given
unto
all
,
and
because
of
Trembling
and
Quaking
,
and
saying
,
Our
Writings
are
given
forth
by
the
same
infallible
Spirit
that
the
Scriptures
were
given
out
by
,
and
for
crying
down
the
Ministers
Maintenance
,
and
for
calling
some
of
them
Vipers
and
Serpents
.
To
all
this
I
answer
,
It
is
your
Generation
that
makes
a
great
noise
about
thee
and
thou
,
and
Cuffs
,
and
Caps
;
for
we
in
plainness
and
simplicity
do
speak
the
proper
Language
,
thee
,
and
thou
to
a
single
Person
,
and
it
is
the
proud
and
exalted
Minds
of
Men
that
are
offended
hereat
,
which
Pride
and
Arrogancy
hath
eaten
out
the
very
Sincerity
,
and
the
property
of
Speech
also
,
and
you
are
offended
at
us
because
of
it
,
and
for
crying
against
your
Cuffs
,
and
Boot-hose-tops
,
and
Ribbands
,
and
Points
;
we
cry
against
all
these
things
as
not
becoming
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
as
being
of
the
World
,
in
the
Pride
,
and
Vanity
,
and
Superfluity
,
abusing
the
Creation
,
which
the
Lord
will
judge
among
you
:
And
as
for
having
an
hour-Glass
,
and
preaching
thereby
,
and
as
for
your
carnal
Bells
which
you
call
people
by
,
we
do
disown
these
things
,
and
say
,
They
are
old
popish
inventions
;
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
never
limitted
their
spirits
to
an
hour-Glass
,
neither
had
they
a
carnal
Bell
to
call
people
to
their
Worship
;
and
as
for
Revelation
,
we
do
own
that
the
Spirit
of
God
doth
reveal
Truth
to
us
,
and
God
hath
revealed
Christ
in
us
,
and
none
ever
shall
know
God
but
by
Revelation
;
For
none
knows
the
Father
but
the
Son
,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
will
reveal
him
:
And
as
for
Free
Grace
,
we
say
,
The
Grace
of
God
hath
appeared
to
all
men
;
and
it
teacheth
the
Saints
to
deny
Ungodliness
,
but
the
Wicked
turns
it
into
wantonness
,
and
doth
dispite
unto
the
Spirit
of
Grace
;
and
we
also
say
,
That
who
now
speaks
,
or
are
moved
to
write
forth
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
they
speak
and
write
by
the
same
Spirit
that
is
infallible
,
that
the
Scriptures
were
given
forth
by
:
And
as
for
your
Maintenance
,
it
is
altogether
Abominable
and
Oppression
to
the
Nation
,
and
the
Lord
is
against
it
,
your
taking
Peoples
Goods
,
and
casting
them
into
Prison
,
that
will
not
pay
you
Wages
,
and
give
you
Tythes
against
their
Consciences
:
And
be
not
offended
at
being
called
Vipers
,
and
Serpents
;
for
these
are
the
Works
of
venemous
Vipers
,
and
stinging
Serpents
,
which
persecute
the
Servants
of
God
,
and
cryes
to
the
Magistrates
for
help
against
a
poor
People
,
that
useth
no
Weapons
at
all
against
you
,
saving
that
of
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
though
we
do
thus
to
you
,
to
the
false
Ministers
,
to
cry
against
them
,
and
give
our
witness
against
them
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
yet
we
do
not
deny
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
nor
speak
any
thing
against
them
which
are
the
true
Ministers
,
that
have
received
the
Ministry
of
Righteousness
by
the
Gift
of
the
holy
Spirit
,
which
all
that
are
true
Ministers
,
do
receive
their
Ministry
thereby
.
And
whereas
thou
sayest
,
we
are
bitter
Enemies
to
the
Doctrine
of
Iustification
,
and
agree
with
the
Cavelierish
Party
,
and
would
silence
godly
Ministers
,
and
are
I●suitical
,
and
such
like
things
thou
falsly
chargeth
upon
us
;
and
that
we
have
a
not
able
faculty
to
delude
ignorant
unstable
Souls
,
&c.
Answ.
These
are
but
the
Author's
Reproaches
,
and
his
Slanders
,
he
hath
filled
his
Mouth
with
,
against
the
Innocent
;
and
he
hath
set
his
Tongue
on
the
Fire
of
Hell
,
to
slander
the
●ust
,
and
the
Innocent
:
and
all
these
things
we
bear
in
patience
,
counting
Reproaches
for
Christ
our
chiefest
Riches
;
and
thus
to
the
substance
of
this
Paper
,
I
have
given
an
answer
,
whereby
all
that
love
the
Lord
,
and
desire
to
be
informed
in
the
Truth
,
may
receive
satisfaction
;
for
it
is
seen
that
that
Generation
of
Priests
are
joyned
with
the
prelatical
Cavelierish
Party
,
and
this
is
known
at
large
in
the
Nation
,
in
the
North
especially
:
and
so
as
I
said
,
they
would
fain
slander
others
,
that
themselves
might
seem
clear
;
but
the
Lord
will
rebuke
him
,
and
his
lying
Tongue
,
and
the
Innocent
shall
be
delivered
from
his
devouring
Lips
:
And
as
for
any
other
thing
in
his
Paper
,
it
is
not
worth
answering
to
,
nor
worth
minding
;
but
his
wickedness
will
turn
upon
his
own
head
,
and
he
shall
bear
the
burthen
of
his
own
words
,
onely
he
queries
,
whether
this
be
not
the
Pestilence
that
walks
in
Darkness
?
And
the
Flouds
that
the
Dragon
hath
cast
out
of
his
Mouth
to
drown
the
Woman
?
Is
not
this
the
mark
of
the
Beast
,
who
opened
his
Mouth
in
Blasphemy
?
And
are
not
these
the
Unclean
Spirits
,
that
came
out
of
the
Mouth
of
the
Dragon
,
and
out
of
the
Mouth
of
the
false
Prophet
?
Answ.
Now
the
Pestilence
that
walks
in
Darkness
,
is
the
Plague
(
that
is
out
of
the
Light
)
Sin
,
and
Death
,
and
Misery
,
which
smites
the
Ungodly
,
and
he
sees
it
not
:
And
the
Floods
which
the
Dragon
cast
out
,
is
the
Floods
of
Persecution
and
Cruelty
(
viz.
)
The
imprisoning
until
death
,
and
spoiling
peoples
Goods
,
for
Tythes
and
Money
,
as
the
Priests
have
done
:
And
the
Dragon
gave
power
to
the
Beast
that
compell'd
all
to
worship
,
and
that
carried
the
Whore
,
the
false
church
;
and
the
true
Church
has
bin
fled
into
the
Wilderness
for
many
Generations
;
and
the
false
church
(
the
Whore
)
has
sate
as
a
Queen
,
and
given
her
cup
to
drink
:
the
false
church
of
Rome
,
and
the
false
church
of
the
Protestants
,
all
which
are
of
the
Whore
,
these
have
all
been
carried
by
the
Beast
which
the
Dragon
gave
his
power
to
;
and
they
have
all
persecuted
the
Woman
,
the
true
Church
,
&
the
Mark
of
the
Beast
he
compell'd
people
to
receive
,
&
compell'd
them
to
worship
;
and
they
open
their
mouthes
in
Blasphemy
that
deny
Christ
,
and
deny
the
Light
,
and
that
say
they
are
Iews
,
and
are
not
;
this
is
Error
and
Blasphemy
which
the
Beast
opens
his
mouth
in
,
against
the
Saints
,
and
against
them
that
dwell
in
Heaven
:
and
the
unclean
spirits
are
the
spirits
of
Devils
,
that
are
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
these
the
Dragon
casts
our
in
Slanders
;
and
Reproaches
and
Lyes
,
such
as
this
Author
has
done
,
and
of
that
Generation
is
he
.
Christ
said
,
False
Prophets
should
come
;
and
Iohn
saw
in
his
dayes
,
they
were
come
,
and
he
saw
the
world
gone
after
them
;
&
of
that
Generation
are
you
:
and
now
the
Lord
is
gathering
people
from
you
again
,
and
Babylon
must
fall
,
and
all
her
Merchants
howl
and
weep
:
and
these
things
have
been
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
,
&
the
Woman
is
now
coming
out
of
the
Wilderness
again
,
and
the
Whore
must
be
rewarded
,
and
sorrow
is
coming
upon
her
,
&
as
she
has
done
unto
the
Saints
,
so
shall
the
Saints
do
unto
her
.
And
in
the
Conclusion
he
saith
,
Worthy
Sir
(
to
this
Member
of
Parliament
)
it
will
be
your
Honour
to
stand
in
the
Gap
,
to
stop
the
violence
of
this
Hellish
Torrent
,
that
is
so
high
,
that
it
sounds
from
Dan
to
Beersheba
,
and
threatens
Iudgment
to
our
Israel
,
&c.
Answ.
Here
is
the
Conclusion
of
thy
matter
,
which
is
the
sum
of
it
,
a
running
to
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
for
help
;
what
,
have
you
Ministers
lost
the
Lord
to
be
your
strength
,
that
you
must
flee
for
help
to
men
to
defend
you
from
the
Spirit
of
God
in
his
People
?
Must
they
make
Laws
to
establish
you
,
and
set
you
up
?
Is
not
this
the
Whore
that
road
upon
the
Beast
,
and
that
the
Beast
carries
?
Is
not
here
a
Description
of
her
out
of
the
mouth
of
this
Author
?
Is
he
crying
to
you
,
to
persecute
the
Innocent
?
It
is
true
,
the
Seed
of
God
is
risen
,
the
Elect
Seed
,
that
is
able
to
make
War
against
the
Beast
,
and
against
the
false
Prophets
,
even
with
the
Word
of
the
Lord
;
and
is
he
offended
that
Truth
is
risen
so
high
?
and
would
he
have
some
Fire
and
Faggot
again
in
Smithfield
,
and
some
Persecution
and
Banishment
acted
upon
the
People
of
God
?
Is
this
the
standing
in
the
Gap
,
and
stopping
Violence
,
or
would
he
have
it
done
this
way
?
Yea
,
Judgments
indeed
are
threatned
to
your
Generation
;
for
,
if
God
will
not
destroy
you
soon
enough
,
you
will
destroy
your selves
;
and
your
own
Iniquity
will
be
upon
you
,
and
the
wickedness
of
the
Wicked
shall
slay
him
.
But
my
Counsel
is
not
only
to
that
particular
Member
,
but
to
the
whole
Body
of
them
,
That
they
be
wise
,
and
take
heed
what
they
do
;
for
the
Eye
of
the
Lord
is
over
you
,
and
his
Hand
can
dash
you
in
pieces
;
and
if
you
be
Oppressors
of
the
People
of
God
,
and
will
not
relieve
the
Oppressed
,
the
Innocent
,
and
break
the
Bonds
of
Oppression
,
the
Lord
will
break
you
in
pieces
;
for
this
is
the
Rock
that
hath
broken
all
before
you
,
Persecuting
people
for
Conscience
sake
;
and
if
you
go
in
this
way
,
your
Destruction
shall
be
the
most
lamentable
of
any
that
was
ever
yet
before
you
:
Do
you
not
yet
see
the
Wickedness
of
this
Generation
?
will
you
yet
contend
for
them
?
Surely
you
might
learn
Wisdom
,
even
by
their
Folly
;
and
if
you
do
not
shut
your
eyes
,
there
needs
no
more
discovery
then
their
own
present
wayes
and
works
.
Wherefore
consider
,
the
Day
of
God's
Visitation
is
upon
you
,
make
good
use
of
your
time
,
lest
the
Lord
breaks
you
down
,
and
never
build
you
up
;
and
let
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
have
its
Liberty
,
and
limit
it
not
;
for
if
you
do
,
you
shall
never
prosper
,
nor
never
be
made
a
Blessing
unto
the
people
under
your
Charge
.
Remember
you
are
warned
by
a
Lover
of
your
Souls
,
ANd
Friends
,
Great
Things
hath
the
Lord
done
in
these
Nations
in
your
dayes
,
and
that
by
the
Face
of
your
Authority
;
and
there
has
a
Spirit
stirred
in
some
of
you
,
and
in
the
Army
,
which
the
Lord
hath
appear'd
with
,
and
yet
the
Work
of
the
Lord
is
not
finished
;
but
greater
things
then
these
hath
the
Lord
to
accomplish
amongst
us
,
and
in
this
Nation
;
and
these
things
that
have
come
to
pass
,
have
been
but
as
the
preparing
of
the
way
for
the
bringing
about
of
greater
things
:
It
is
true
,
many
Mountains
have
been
removed
,
and
some
Oppressions
taken
off
,
and
excellent
things
have
bin
promised
,
and
doubtless
(
by
some
of
you
)
really
intended
;
but
alas
!
the
Work
hath
long
remain'd
unfinished
,
and
many
of
your
best
Friends
are
almost
weary
with
waiting
to
receive
the
end
of
their
Hopes
and
Desires
;
and
many
are
even
fainting
concerning
the
Good
Old
Cause
,
though
of
late
it
hath
seem'd
to
be
revived
by
you
,
yet
it
goes
but
easily
forwards
.
and
even
so
little
is
its
growth
since
your
late
Meeting
,
that
many
are
thinking
themselves
to
be
in
a
deceiv'd
condition
by
you
:
Why
?
They
see
that
wicked
Clergy's
Interest
more
prospering
then
the
just
Freedom
of
the
People
.
And
this
I
say
unto
you
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
That
while
that
Interest
(
of
this
false
Priesthood
I
mean
)
is
so
much
favoured
and
defended
,
you
can
never
prosper
,
nor
the
Nations
be
ever
happy
under
you
;
for
it
is
one
of
the
greatest
Oppressions
this
day
in
the
Nation
,
the
maintaining
and
upholding
of
this
Ministry
by
Tythes
,
and
other
unrighteous
Wages
;
and
the
very
Land
groans
under
the
Oppression
of
this
Church
and
Ministry
,
which
lies
as
a
heavy
Burden
upon
both
Persons
,
and
Estates
and
Consciences
of
many
good
People
,
even
of
your
dearest
Friends
;
and
though
the
Lord
doth
manifestly
(
even
from
Heaven
)
shew
signal
Tokens
of
his
Displeasure
against
them
,
and
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
they
also
cease
not
to
warn
you
concerning
them
,
&
their
own
doings
are
sufficient
Testimony
of
the
Malice
of
their
hearts
against
you
,
and
all
good
men
in
the
Nation
;
yet
nevertheless
some
of
you
seem
to
shut
your
eyes
,
as
if
you
would
see
no
Evil
in
them
,
but
are
crying
up
your
godly
Ministers
;
&
some
of
you
utterly
despising
the
man
(
as
not
worthy
to
live
)
that
doth
but
speak
against
them
;
and
thus
are
you
blinded
,
and
perceive
not
where
the
Cause
lie●
of
your
Interruption
,
to
bring
forth
Righteousness
:
I
say
,
It
is
the
favouring
of
that
interest
which
stops
the
issue
of
Good
Things
;
and
while
you
oppress
peoples
Persons
,
and
Estates
,
and
Consciences
,
to
uphold
this
Ministry
and
Priesthood
aforesaid
,
the
Lord
shall
never
prosper
you
,
nor
make
the
Nations
●●ppy
under
your
Charge
;
and
this
you
shall
witness
eternally
.
Wherefore
I
do
say
unto
you
,
it
is
high
time
for
you
to
lay
aside
the
interest
of
this
oppressing
Clergy
,
so
much
leavened
and
tasted
of
the
Whore
of
Rome
;
your selves
do
know
that
the
spirit
of
the
Romish
Clergy
was
in
the
late
Bishops
,
which
you
cast
out
for
their
Wickedness
;
and
the
very
spirit
of
those
Bishops
is
entred
into
these
Priests
,
and
bears
rule
in
their
hearts
;
and
thus
by
succession
hath
the
Whore
of
R●●e
leavened
the
Clergy
of
England
,
from
one
Generation
to
another
,
with
her
taste
and
savour
,
and
there
is
the
remainer
of
her
Murders
and
Cruelties
in
those
mens
Brests
,
and
at
every
opportunity
it
breaks
forth
,
as
of
late
in
this
Rebellion
you
have
full
Testimony
;
and
if
you
do
not
curb
it
speedlly
,
it
will
grow
over
you
,
to
your
undoing
.
Therefore
clear
your selves
,
do
not
any
longer
drink
the
Whore's
Cup
,
neither
be
ye
Carriers
of
her
,
to
execute
her
Wickedness
upon
the
Bodies
and
Consciences
of
people
;
for
it
is
written
,
The
Beast
hath
carried
the
Whore
;
and
we
see
it
hath
been
thus
,
as
Iohn
saw
it
was
to
come
to
pass
;
and
so
clear
your selves
from
her
Tyrannies
and
Oppressions
,
and
leave
this
false
Church
and
Ministry
to
themselves
;
and
if
God
will
not
uphold
them
by
his
Power
,
why
should
you
do
it
?
If
these
Priests
have
not
yet
planted
Vineyards
that
will
yield
them
Fruit
,
and
if
their
Flock
will
not
yield
them
Milk
freely
,
why
should
you
unjustly
impose
upon
peoples
Consciences
,
and
compel
Tythes
and
Money
from
them
,
for
the
maintenance
of
these
men
?
Ye
ought
not
to
do
it
;
for
while
ye
Compel
and
Force
People
by
Violence
,
contrary
to
good
Consciences
,
to
Maintain
and
Uphold
this
Ministry
,
and
Church
,
and
Worship
,
you
do
but
cause
people
to
drink
the
Whore's
Cup
,
and
you
are
but
them
which
carry
the
Whore
,
viz.
the
false
Church
;
and
this
is
Plain-dealing
,
to
tell
you
the
Truth
,
whether
you
will
reject
it
,
or
receive
it
:
wherefore
cast
them
off
,
and
let
them
not
lurk
under
your
Wings
;
for
,
one
day
they
will
rebel
against
you
,
and
another
day
flatter
with
you
;
and
for
a
season
they
will
shew
forth
much
Love
and
Kindness
in
Hypocrisie
,
even
while
they
are
hatching
Mischief
against
you
,
and
to
bring
the
Nation
into
Blood
;
and
they
will
cry
out
Heresie
and
Error
of
others
,
that
themselves
may
seem
clear
,
while
as
the
same
lodgeth
in
their
own
Hearts
:
wherefore
I
say
,
do
not
make
a
false
Peace
with
them
,
nor
do
not
flatter
with
treacherous
minds
;
for
you
had
better
have
them
your
open
Enemies
,
then
deceitful
and
flattering
Friends
;
you
had
better
be
in
a
just
Opposition
against
them
,
then
in
an
unjust
Peace
with
them
:
I
know
it
appears
to
many
of
you
,
a
thing
very
hard
to
be
born
;
What!
to
forsake
our
Godly
Ministers
,
think
ye
?
to
hear
tell
of
laying
them
aside
is
an
amazement
to
some
of
your
minds
:
was
it
not
the
same
concerning
the
King
and
Bishops
?
was
it
not
as
much
terrible
to
him
,
and
his
Lords
and
Council
,
to
think
of
the
overthrow
of
the
then
called
Godly
Fathers
and
Bishops
?
but
better
had
he
cast
them
off
,
and
saved
himself
,
then
to
have
perished
with
them
:
and
so
I
say
unto
you
,
better
were
it
for
you
to
lay
these
men
aside
,
and
their
Flatteries
and
feigned
Prayers
,
and
to
save
your selves
from
their
Flattery
,
then
to
perish
with
them
;
and
the
one
of
these
will
come
to
pass
:
For
it
s
decreed
of
the
Lord
,
If
you
uphold
them
,
and
oppress
People's
Persons
,
Estates
and
Consciences
on
their
behalf
,
and
in
their
evil
Cause
,
for
Tythes
and
Wages
to
them
,
ye
shall
fall
with
them
,
and
none
shall
be
able
to
deliver
neither
you
nor
them
:
For
I
tell
you
again
,
That
the
very
spirit
of
the
old
Idolatrous
Bishops
(
long
since
cast
out
)
is
entred
into
the
hearts
of
these
men
;
and
there
is
as
great
a
measure
of
Tyranny
,
and
Injustice
and
Abomination
lying
upon
these
,
as
once
was
upon
the
Bishops
;
and
these
are
no
less
free
from
any
Abomination
,
then
they
were
,
and
these
are
nigh
as
ripe
for
Vengeance
,
and
Overthrow
,
as
the
others
were
;
and
it
will
as
surely
come
upon
these
,
as
it
did
upon
them
:
wherefore
take
heed
unto
your selves
,
and
be
wise
,
and
learn
,
and
do
us
Justice
,
or
else
God
will
do
us
Justice
upon
you
;
if
ye
will
not
take
off
our
Burdens
,
and
ease
our
Oppressions
,
the
Lord
God
will
ease
us
of
you
,
and
the
Earth
shall
not
be
oppressed
with
you
;
and
if
ye
will
uphold
this
Priesthood
against
Equity
and
Good
Conscience
,
the
Lord
will
free
Good
Consciences
both
from
you
and
them
:
And
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
to
you
.
The
open
Enemy
hath
not
prevailed
against
you
;
but
the
secret
Hand
of
the
Lord
will
not
miss
you
.

ACcording
to
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
and
being
moved
of
him
in
Spirit
,
and
as
it
lay
upon
me
many
dayes
,
I
passed
to
Dunkirk
:
And
that
which
I
found
upon
me
chiefly
,
was
to
visit
and
warn
the
Papists
,
the
Iesuits
,
and
Fryars
,
and
that
Company
of
Idolaters
;
and
to
sound
the
Mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
among
them
,
and
to
proclaim
it
in
the
Pope's
Borders
,
and
to
warn
them
of
the
Day
that
is
at
hand
upon
them
by
the
Word
of
the
Lord
;
and
to
sound
forth
among
them
the
Everlasting
Gospel
of
Truth
;
and
against
all
their
Idolatrous
Wayes
,
Worships
and
Practices
,
which
I
have
often
felt
the
weight
and
burden
of
before
ever
I
saw
outwardly
what
their
Wayes
or
Practices
are
;
which
when
I
saw
their
Idolatrous
Practices
and
Worships
,
and
heard
their
Doctrines
,
and
what
they
profess
,
I
found
it
to
be
according
to
what
I
had
seen
and
felt
in
the
Light
that
trieth
all
things
.
And
about
the
sixth
day
of
the
third
Moneth
,
1659.
I
(
with
Samuel
Fisher
,
who
was
moved
to
go
with
me
)
shipped
from
Dover
,
and
came
into
Dunkirk
the
next
day
;
and
being
Strangers
upon
Earth
,
as
the
Generation
of
the
Righteous
Seed
ever
was
,
we
waited
in
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
to
be
guided
by
his
Wisdom
what
to
do
,
and
how
to
be
guided
to
act
and
speak
to
his
Glory
:
So
the
next
Morning
the
Town
Mayor
came
to
us
in
the
Street
,
and
required
an
account
of
our
coming
,
and
our
Names
,
and
from
whence
we
came
;
to
which
we
gave
him
sober
Answers
,
and
a
reasonable
Account
.
And
that
day
it
much
spread
over
the
Town
of
our
being
come
thither
,
which
wrought
no
small
Cogitations
in
the
Hearts
of
many
,
as
what
our
Business
was
,
and
wherefore
we
were
come
;
so
that
the
Deputy
Governour
,
Colonel
Alsop
,
with
the
Council
of
Officers
,
sent
for
us
that
Night
(
the
chief
Governour
not
being
in
Town
)
so
we
went
to
them
,
who
did
kindly
intreat
us
,
and
examine
us
concerning
our
coming
thither
,
and
what
our
Business
was
there
,
and
such
like
;
to
which
we
gave
them
Answers
,
and
staid
with
them
in
Discourse
some
Hours
:
and
the
Deputy
Governour
much
pleaded
to
us
the
Danger
of
our
staying
in
the
Town
,
and
feared
the
Division
that
might
grow
amongst
them
through
us
;
and
withal
,
much
desired
us
to
depart
the
Town
,
supposing
,
as
he
said
,
the
great
Danger
that
might
incur
unto
the
Garrison
through
our
stay
:
But
our
Answer
was
in
much
plainness
,
If
he
desired
us
,
we
could
not
receive
any
such
Desire
;
and
if
he
commanded
us
,
we
could
not
obey
his
Command
in
that
case
;
neither
could
we
depart
the
Town
,
but
in
the
Will
of
God
,
according
to
which
Will
we
came
thither
:
and
having
many
words
,
and
much
reasoning
with
them
that
Night
,
we
parted
from
them
.
And
the
next
Morning
I
was
moved
to
write
this
Letter
following
,
and
to
give
them
all
a
sober
Account
of
our
coming
,
and
what
our
Work
is
in
this
World
,
wheresoever
we
come
:
which
Letter
was
delivered
to
them
,
and
read
by
many
of
them
;
but
to
it
we
received
no
Answer
,
according
as
the
latter
part
did
require
,
as
may
be
seen
.
Dunkirk
,
the
eleaventh
of
the
third
moneth
,
English
account
,
1659.
To
the
Deputy
Governor
,
and
the
Officers
of
the
English
Army
in
Dunkirk
these
.
FRiends
,
we
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
are
Lovers
of
all
your
Souls
,
and
wisheth
well
unto
you
in
the
Lord
,
that
Truth
and
Peace
,
and
Righteousness
may
be
among
you
,
and
in
your
Hearts
;
and
we
are
Travellers
in
the
Labour
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
Jesus
for
the
Elect
Seed
●ake
,
having
received
the
glad
Tydings
of
Life
,
and
Eternal
Salvation
into
our
Hearts
,
through
the
Revelation
of
Christ
in
us
,
who
is
our
Hope
of
Glory
;
and
the
Lord
hath
manifested
greatly
his
Power
amongst
us
,
and
revealed
the
Riches
of
his
Grace
in
our
Souls
,
to
our
own
everlasting
satisfaction
and
peace
with
God
:
and
also
he
hath
made
us
Ministers
of
his
Grace
,
and
of
his
Word
to
many
others
,
to
the
turning
of
many
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
Satan's
Power
to
God
;
and
of
him
we
are
called
,
and
ordained
by
his
Spirit
into
this
his
Work
,
to
preach
the
everlasting
Gospel
to
the
Nations
,
and
to
war
against
Antichrist
,
the
Whore
and
false
Prophets
,
who
came
up
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
have
reigned
over
all
the
World
for
many
Generations
:
and
this
is
our
work
in
the
World
,
to
fight
the
Lamb's
Battel
with
his
Spiritual
Weapons
and
Armour
,
and
to
follow
him
whithersoever
he
goeth
,
and
to
give
up
our
●elves
in
his
Service
,
to
do
or
suffer
for
him
whatsoever
he
calleth
us
unto
;
and
in
this
hitherto
hath
the
Power
and
mighty
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
been
with
us
,
and
is
with
us
unto
this
day
,
and
great
is
his
Name
amongst
us
his
People
,
and
to
be
praised
for
evermore
:
And
of
this
hath
God
given
us
the
sure
Witness
in
our selves
,
even
the
Testimony
of
his
good
Spirit
,
which
bears
us
witness
in
our
own
Consciences
,
that
these
things
are
true
,
whether
men
believe
,
or
reject
our
Testimony
;
for
we
are
not
Ministers
of
Man
,
nor
by
man's
will
,
neither
do
we
stand
to
man's
Judgement
,
to
be
approved
,
or
disapproved
thereby
;
but
to
the
Witness
and
Testimony
of
God's
Spirit
in
every
Conscience
we
do
commend
our selves
,
where
ever
any
of
us
do
come
,
in
the
simplicity
of
Truth
,
in
the
demonstration
of
the
Spirit
;
and
not
by
words
of
Man's
Wisdom
:
and
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
shall
we
be
justified
herein
by
him
,
and
by
his
Witness
in
all
mens
Consciences
;
and
in
the
mean
time
we
do
suffer
all
things
patiently
,
and
in
the
meek
and
quiet
Spirit
of
the
Lord
:
And
as
for
us
two
in
particular
,
who
are
now
come
into
the
Town
of
Dunkirk
as
we
have
in
some
part
declared
unto
you
already
;
and
so
here
I
again
say
unto
you
,
not
being
ashamed
nor
unwilling
to
give
you
an
account
of
our
coming
;
for
we
came
to
be
made
manifest
,
openly
in
the
sight
of
all
men
,
in
our
Doctrines
,
Principles
,
and
Practises
,
which
are
of
and
from
the
Lord
,
and
fully
agreeing
in
all
things
with
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
which
were
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
as
the
holy
Men
of
God
were
moved
;
and
as
we
have
said
to
you
,
we
still
testifie
,
we
were
moved
of
God
,
and
by
his
Spirit
to
come
unto
this
Place
in
love
to
the
Souls
of
People
;
and
it
is
the
Lord
God
that
hath
sent
us
,
and
not
Man
;
and
whether
you
believe
us
herein
,
or
do
reject
us
,
the
Testimony
of
God
is
sure
;
and
remains
with
us
;
and
for
the
Truth
hereof
,
we
are
not
afraid
to
do
and
suffer
,
but
can
do
,
and
suffer
in
the
strength
of
Christ
whatsoever
is
put
upon
us
;
though
chiefly
our
coming
was
(
so
far
as
the
Lord
shewed
us
)
in
relation
to
these
Popish
Idolaters
,
to
discourse
with
their
Iesuites
,
Friars
,
and
Priests
,
and
to
discover
to
them
the
Errors
óf
their
Wayes
,
and
the
falsness
of
their
Worships
,
and
to
testifie
unto
them
,
in
the
Fear
and
Power
of
the
Lord
concerning
their
Church
,
that
it
is
not
a
true
Church
of
Christ
,
but
a
false
Church
,
come
up
in
the
Apostacy
;
and
these
things
we
have
to
argue
with
them
,
if
the
Heads
of
them
will
admit
dispute
,
otherwise
to
charge
these
things
upon
them
from
the
Lord
,
and
by
his
Authority
;
and
if
they
do
any
of
them
receive
our
Testimony
,
and
turn
from
their
Idols
,
and
be
converted
unto
the
Truth
,
they
may
be
happy
;
but
if
they
shall
reject
our
Testimony
,
and
not
believe
the
Truth
;
then
shall
they
the
more
be
fitted
for
Destruction
,
and
the
Day
of
their
Destruction
the
sooner
approacheth
,
and
the
Lord
shall
be
clear
of
their
Blood
,
and
our
Reward
shall
be
with
us
from
God
;
for
our
Testimony
shall
not
return
to
us
in
vain
,
but
shall
accomplish
its
end
wherefore
it
is
sent
,
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
by
us
shall
either
convert
to
God
,
and
to
the
Truth
that
they
may
be
saved
,
or
shall
through
rejecting
of
it
,
harden
the
Heart
against
God
,
and
against
the
Truth
,
that
they
may
the
more
justly
be
condemned
,
and
the
Lord
and
his
Servants
be
the
more
clear
:
and
no
other
thing
saving
this
do
we
promise
to
our selves
as
the
success
of
our
endeavours
,
and
not
so
much
in
relation
to
the
men
of
our
English
Nation
are
we
come
,
though
the
Gospel
of
Salvation
is
freely
come
to
them
also
,
that
they
may
be
freed
from
the
Captivity
of
Sin
and
Death
;
and
we
may
not
work
,
nor
cause
any
disturbance
or
grief
to
any
of
them
,
further
then
what
they
may
take
at
us
for
the
Truth
's
sake
,
or
for
declaring
it
in
the
fear
of
God
,
and
without
any
just
cause
given
by
us
to
any
of
you
,
or
them
;
though
we
dare
not
promise
to
you
,
nor
our selves
,
what
we
will
do
,
or
what
we
will
not
do
;
onely
this
we
say
,
if
the
transgression
of
any
just
Law
can
be
charged
upon
us
,
we
refuse
not
to
suffer
what
shall
be
imposed
;
and
this
we
do
believe
,
that
the
Lord
will
so
keep
us
,
and
order
us
by
his
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
carry
us
in
Meekness
,
and
Righteousness
towards
you
,
while
we
stay
amongst
you
,
be
it
weeks
,
or
moneths
,
that
you
will
have
no
just
occasion
against
us
,
by
any
Offence
justly
ministred
by
us
;
and
if
you
do
take
occasion
against
us
without
any
just
cause
given
,
be
it
upon
your selves
,
to
your
own
Shame
,
and
Condemnation
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
;
for
we
are
clear
,
onely
this
we
do
give
unto
the
Lord
,
and
cannot
unto
Men
,
the
exercise
of
our
Consciences
,
and
to
be
obedient
unto
the
Teachings
of
his
Spirit
in
all
things
,
as
he
shall
guide
and
lead
us
;
and
if
he
commands
to
do
,
or
not
to
do
any
thing
,
and
you
the
contrary
,
we
must
obey
him
,
though
we
disobey
you
;
for
its
better
to
obey
God
then
Man
:
and
when
he
bids
speak
,
in
what
Place
or
Season
soever
,
we
may
not
be
silent
;
for
to
keep
our
Consciences
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
,
in
all
things
,
by
Obedience
to
him
,
is
our
care
,
and
study
,
and
that
which
we
are
given
up
to
do
;
and
if
you
set
your selves
to
gain-say
this
,
it
will
turn
to
your
own
destruction
;
for
no
other
promise
then
this
can
we
make
for
our selves
,
but
to
do
,
and
speak
amongst
you
,
as
the
Lord
our
God
shall
move
us
,
and
lead
us
:
and
this
Testimony
we
do
bear
for
the
Lord
,
he
doth
not
move
us
,
nor
lead
us
to
any
thing
,
saving
to
what
is
Just
,
Good
,
and
Holy
,
which
may
tend
to
the
Happiness
,
and
Peace
,
and
Welfare
of
your
Souls
,
and
Bodies
also
;
and
in
the
Father's
will
we
stand
,
and
as
we
came
in
his
Will
,
so
we
cannot
submit
to
stay
,
or
go
at
any
Man's
will
,
save
the
Lord
's
alone
:
And
as
concerning
our
coming
,
and
staying
,
and
Work
here
,
this
is
a
sober
account
to
you
,
which
may
satisfie
you
,
and
any
sober
and
reasonable
men
:
And
as
concerning
our
being
with
you
yesternight
,
many
things
passed
from
some
of
you
,
and
your
Ministers
chiefly
,
to
which
I
had
a
great
desire
to
have
answered
,
and
to
have
cleared
the
things
objected
against
us
;
but
time
and
his
patience
afforded
not
the
opertunity
:
therefore
now
this
I
do
propound
about
the
Call
to
the
Ministry
,
which
was
the
thing
in
dispute
;
to
which
I
then
could
freely
have
spoken
,
whether
he
will
give
me
and
us
a
fair
meeting
,
in
some
publick
Place
,
that
is
convenient
for
your selves
to
hear
,
and
be
judge
between
us
,
to
discourse
this
Matter
(
viz
)
what
the
true
Call
to
the
Ministry
is
,
which
is
truely
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
that
to
be
laid
down
first
,
and
then
to
compare
his
Call
to
his
Ministry
,
and
also
his
Call
to
Dunkirk
with
what
the
true
Call
is
,
which
is
allowed
of
,
and
approved
in
the
Scriptures
;
and
also
to
compare
our
Call
to
the
Ministry
,
and
even
our
call
to
Dunkirk
,
with
what
the
true
Call
of
Christ
s
Ministers
was
,
as
declared
in
the
Scriptures
;
that
it
may
be
seen
whether
his
Call
,
or
our
Call
,
is
the
most
different
from
,
or
agreeable
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
even
the
Light
in
your
own
Consciences
shall
be
Judge
between
us
in
this
Cause
;
and
upon
such
an
Issue
,
upon
a
just
Determination
would
we
gladly
joyn
tryal
;
and
such
a
Meeting
,
upon
such
Grounds
and
Proceedings
,
may
tend
to
satisfie
your selves
,
and
many
more
;
and
such
a
Meeting
I
do
fully
desire
with
your
consent
,
and
concurrence
,
who
may
preserve
the
people
in
Peace
and
Soberness
,
that
all
may
be
●dified
in
the
things
of
so
great
moment
,
as
this
is
:
For
if
he
can
prove
his
Call
to
the
Ministry
to
be
such
as
was
the
Apostles
,
and
Ministers
in
the
true
Christian
Churches
,
before
the
Apostacy
,
then
shall
we
own
him
,
and
not
deny
him
;
but
if
he
cannot
do
this
,
and
if
we
can
do
it
on
our
own
behalf
,
in
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
then
may
you
and
all
men
judge
who
are
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
who
are
the
Deceivers
.
And
this
manner
of
proceedings
would
deside
all
Doubts
in
you
about
us
;
and
we
shall
be
clear
in
manifesting
the
Truth
concerning
the
true
Ministry
and
the
false
,
and
the
difference
between
them
in
their
Call
,
in
their
Practice
,
and
in
their
Maintenance
.
And
this
is
sent
to
you
to
read
and
consider
of
,
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
as
the
Testimony
of
our
Love
to
you
and
the
Truth
,
that
you
may
take
heed
to
your
wayes
:
and
we
would
receive
first
your
Answer
,
whether
you
do
consent
,
and
will
allow
such
a
Meeting
;
and
secondly
,
his
Answer
,
whether
he
will
undertake
such
a
Dispute
:
and
we
further
are
ready
to
clear
all
Doubts
that
may
remain
in
you
about
us
,
who
are
your
Friends
,
and
desire
your
Prosperity
,
and
Faithfulness
in
what
the
Lord
calls
you
unto
.

And
the
same
day
we
went
to
the
Capuchine
Fryars
,
and
had
some
Discourse
with
the
chiefest
of
them
in
their
Garden
,
concerning
the
Light
of
Christ
that
every
man
is
lighted
withal
:
and
we
did
declare
to
them
of
the
Mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
,
that
was
at
hand
upon
them
;
and
the
Lord
was
come
to
search
them
,
and
try
them
,
and
would
hew
down
their
Idolatrous
wayes
,
and
worships
,
and
works
,
&c.
And
in
order
to
a
fair
proceeding
with
them
,
the
next
day
I
was
moved
to
write
this
following
Paper
to
them
,
by
way
of
Queries
,
as
to
lay
some
ground
of
Opposition
;
hoping
to
have
received
their
Answer
,
that
I
might
have
joyned
tryal
with
them
:
for
,
it
was
in
my
heart
,
to
search
and
oppose
their
Wayes
and
Practices
,
and
their
whole
Religion
.
And
these
Queries
were
delivered
to
them
in
Latine
,
though
from
them
I
have
received
no
Answer
to
this
day
;
but
the
Queries
stand
upon
them
,
and
my
Charge
they
lie
under
,
charged
upon
them
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
To
all
ye
that
profess
your selves
Devoted
to
the
Service
of
God
,
and
Separation
from
the
World
,
and
Mortification
in
your
lives
,
who
are
called
by
the
the
name
of
Fryars
and
Nunns
,
in
,
and
about
Dunkirk
.
THe
Mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
God
is
come
,
and
coming
upon
you
,
and
all
the
World
;
Awake
,
awake
ye
that
sleep
in
the
Earth
;
for
the
Dreadful
God
is
arising
to
plead
with
you
,
and
to
give
unto
all
the
World
the
Cup
of
his
fierce
Indignation
,
because
of
your
Idolatries
,
and
Hypocrisies
,
and
Abominations
,
which
have
corrupted
the
Earth
,
and
are
come
up
before
him
,
and
have
provoked
him
;
and
the
Cry
of
the
Just
,
who
hath
been
smitten
and
laid
slain
,
is
entred
into
the
Ears
of
the
Most
High
;
and
his
Sword
,
which
is
the
word
of
his
Mouth
,
is
awakened
to
wound
and
slay
all
his
Enemies
:
And
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
is
now
come
,
wherein
the
Lord
is
searching
you
,
and
trying
you
,
that
he
may
recompence
you
;
and
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
you
.
Wherefore
I
am
moved
of
the
Lord
to
propound
some
few
Queries
to
you
,
for
the
tryal
of
your
spirits
and
wayes
;
to
which
I
demand
your
Answer
,
that
all
things
may
be
brought
to
Light
,
and
true
Judgement
,
and
that
you
may
be
judged
justly
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
cleered
,
or
condemned
accorto
your
Deeds
?
1.
Whether
there
were
such
order
of
Men
and
Women
in
the
true
Church
of
Christ
in
the
Apostles
dayes
?
and
where
did
Christ
give
Institution
for
such
Worships
,
Practices
,
and
manner
of
Life
,
slouthful
idleness
,
and
unprofitableness
to
God
and
Men
,
as
ye
hold
forth
?
And
whether
any
are
bound
to
believe
you
,
and
follow
your
Religion
and
Practices
,
except
you
can
prove
by
the
Scriptures
,
the
Words
of
Christ
,
or
Example
of
his
Saints
and
Apostles
,
your
Religion
,
and
Lives
,
and
Practices
,
and
Worships
?
and
whether
you
do
admit
of
tryal
in
all
your
whole
Religion
by
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
and
Writings
of
the
Apostles
,
yea
or
nay
?
2.
Whether
the
World
in
your
Hearts
,
and
the
World's
nature
,
even
the
root
of
Lust
,
the
root
of
Pride
,
Covetousness
,
and
the
love
of
this
World
,
and
its
Vanities
,
and
the
root
of
Idolatry
is
subdued
in
you
?
to
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
I
do
speak
:
and
what
is
the
root
of
all
these
things
?
and
what
is
it
that
subdues
it
?
Is
it
an
outward
abstinence
by
the
force
of
Locks
and
Doors
,
and
Bolts
,
or
self-separation
,
and
secret
Places
,
that
subdues
the
World's
nature
in
Men
,
and
Women
?
and
is
it
by
such
means
that
Christ
gives
Victory
over
Sin
,
and
overcomes
it
in
his
People
?
or
is
it
not
by
the
Power
of
God
in
the
Heart
onely
?
and
whether
is
it
not
damnable
Hypocrisie
in
you
,
to
appear
outwardly
Holy
,
and
free
from
these
things
,
while
yet
the
Nature
and
Root
of
all
these
things
are
alive
in
you
,
and
boyling
up
in
the
motions
of
them
?
and
is
any
outward
thing
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
Christ
crucified
,
which
mortifies
to
the
World
,
which
the
Apostles
preached
and
rejoyced
in
?
3.
Whether
is
it
a
true
denial
of
the
World
in
you
,
to
deny
it
in
one
manner
and
place
,
and
to
run
into
it
,
and
imbrace
it
in
another
way
and
place
?
it
doth
not
appear
to
me
,
that
you
have
denyed
the
World
,
as
the
Apostles
did
:
For
answer
me
,
where
had
they
any
such
Seats
in
the
finest
and
fattest
Places
of
the
Cities
and
Towns
as
ye
have
;
such
great
fine
Houses
and
Gardens
,
and
such
Revenues
by
the
year
as
ye
have
,
staying
all
their
dayes
in
a
great
House
,
and
spending
their
time
in
slouth
and
idleness
as
ye
do
?
they
went
up
and
down
the
World
preaching
the
Gospel
,
and
had
no
certain
dwelling
Place
,
but
followed
the
Lamb
of
God
in
the
Spirit
;
and
did
not
settle
themselves
in
fat
Places
of
the
Earth
,
continuing
all
their
dayes
as
ye
do
:
therefore
we
judge
that
you
are
out
of
the
Life
,
and
not
in
the
spirit
as
the
Apostles
were
in
,
but
are
in
the
Form
of
Righteousness
and
Holiness
without
the
Power
:
So
I
demand
an
Answer
to
clear
your selves
,
if
you
can
,
and
to
prove
that
you
are
of
the
true
Church
,
and
that
your
Wayes
and
Practices
are
in
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
4.
What
is
that
Death
that
hath
passed
over
all
,
and
reigned
from
Adam
to
Moses
?
and
whether
it
doth
not
reign
yet
in
and
over
you
?
and
what
is
Moses's
Ministration
?
and
whether
ever
through
it
you
yet
truely
came
?
and
whether
that
part
be
subdued
in
you
,
which
the
Law
of
God
was
added
upon
?
and
whether
are
you
come
to
Christ
,
and
know
him
as
he
was
before
Abraham
,
and
before
Mary
?
and
how
was
he
David's
Lord
?
and
how
his
Son
?
and
is
Christ
within
you
born
,
and
revealed
to
you
,
by
whom
the
World
was
made
?
and
do
you
expect
to
be
perfectly
freed
from
Sin
,
that
ye
shall
not
commit
Sin
in
this
Life
upon
Earth
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
5.
What
is
the
Soul
,
and
what
was
its
state
and
condition
before
Transgression
?
and
what
is
its
state
and
condition
in
Transgression
?
and
whether
may
man
come
to
be
restored
by
the
second
Adam
into
the
same
estate
,
while
upon
Earth
,
as
he
lost
in
the
first
Adam
,
yea
or
nay
?
Friends
,
I
demand
of
you
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
to
answer
me
these
things
in
writing
some
of
you
,
and
to
subscribe
your
names
,
that
I
may
return
you
an
Answer
,
and
query
further
of
you
;
for
we
are
sent
of
God
to
visit
you
,
and
to
try
you
;
and
if
you
be
in
the
perfect
Truth
,
and
would
convert
others
to
your
Religion
,
be
plain
with
us
,
and
use
your
best
Spiritual
Weapons
in
your
Zeal
towards
us
,
and
defend
your
Cause
,
and
appear
for
your
God
;
and
if
you
doubt
of
your
own
Wayes
and
Practices
,
and
be
not
able
to
defend
your
Religion
,
then
let
your
Mouthes
be
stopped
,
then
turn
from
Idolatry
;
for
now
is
the
Lord
God
risen
that
will
judge
ye
and
all
the
Earth
righteously
.
I
am
a
lover
of
Souls
,
but
a
Witness
against
all
false
Idolatrous
Wayes
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
Whore
,
that
hath
reigned
in
the
World
,
and
I
am
the
Lord's
Servant
.
E.
B.
By
the
Scorners
of
the
World
called
a
Quaker
.
These
queries
were
sent
to
the
Fryars
in
Latine
.
ANd
we
were
with
them
again
at
other
times
in
discourse
with
the
chief
of
all
the
Fryars
of
the
Company
called
Recolects
also
,
and
did
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
declare
Truth
unto
them
,
and
against
their
Idolatry
,
until
such
time
as
some
of
them
were
so
offended
with
us
,
not
having
much
wherewith
to
an
swer
in
Truth
to
defend
themselves
;
they
of
the
Company
called
Capuchins
grew
light
and
scornful
,
and
very
wicked
,
and
did
in
a
manner
deny
us
the
liberty
any
more
to
come
unto
them
:
And
we
were
with
each
Company
of
Fryars
two
several
times
;
and
as
for
the
Iesuites
,
we
had
much
upon
us
to
visit
them
in
their
Colledges
,
but
we
perceived
that
the
chief
Rector
of
the
Colledge
of
Iesui●●s
,
had
heard
of
our
being
in
the
Town
;
he
did
refuse
to
discourse
with
us
,
and
we
went
once
into
the
Colledge
,
and
could
not
be
admitted
to
speak
with
him
:
And
about
a
Week
after
we
came
into
the
Town
,
the
chief
Governor
Lockhart
coming
home
,
he
sent
,
as
he
said
,
to
the
Iesuites
Colledge
,
that
they
should
admit
us
to
come
to
speak
with
them
;
and
as
we
found
it
from
the
Lord
upon
us
,
at
a
convenient
season
,
we
went
again
to
the
Colledge
,
and
were
for
some
hours
in
discourse
with
the
chief
Rector
of
the
Colledge
who
appeared
at
the
first
very
high
,
and
subtile
,
and
crafty
,
and
did
in
his
heart
reject
us
,
and
the
simplicity
of
the
Gospel
;
but
Truth
and
the
Word
of
the
Lord
had
dominion
over
him
,
and
before
the
Truth
he
and
they
all
are
as
weak
as
Water
:
many
things
were
disputed
upon
,
which
the
particulars
now
cannot
be
related
;
but
in
about
three
hours
time
he
grew
weary
,
pretending
other
business
,
and
would
stay
no
longer
with
us
,
and
so
we
parted
,
demanding
of
him
whether
he
would
admit
some
more
discourse
at
some
other
time
,
which
he
did
refuse
;
so
we
were
not
admitted
to
come
to
him
any
more
:
whereupon
these
following
Propositions
I
was
moved
to
give
forth
,
and
send
among
them
as
a
Charge
upon
them
,
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
they
were
given
and
delivered
in
Latine
up
and
down
among
the
Iesuites
and
Fryars
in
the
Town
,
unto
which
to
this
day
I
never
could
receive
an
Answer
:
therefore
my
charge
lies
upon
them
to
this
day
as
a
Testimony
from
the
mouth
of
the
Lord
against
them
,
of
which
they
can
never
clear
themselves
.
And
we
were
moved
to
visit
the
Nunns
,
and
went
to
their
Place
,
and
before
many
words
were
spoken
to
them
through
a
Grate
(
for
we
might
not
see
them
,
and
to
speak
to
them
both
at
once
)
they
asked
If
we
were
of
the
order
of
those
called
Quakers
;
and
they
perceiving
we
were
such
,
said
,
They
might
not
hear
us
,
because
we
were
such
,
and
presently
passed
away
,
and
refused
to
suffer
us
to
speak
to
them
;
and
therefore
we
had
very
small
time
with
them
,
onely
gave
our
Witness
against
them
,
and
passed
away
.
To
all
ye
Iesuits
,
Priests
,
and
Friars
,
and
to
all
you
in
general
of
the
Romish
Church
,
in
and
about
Dunkirk
.
FRiends
,
in
dear
love
to
all
your
Immortal
Souls
,
I
am
moved
to
lay
these
things
before
you
,
that
you
may
read
and
consider
them
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
;
for
as
much
as
for
some
dayes
I
have
been
in
this
Town
according
to
the
Will
of
God
,
and
having
rightly
observed
your
Religion
,
in
its
Original
,
and
in
its
present
standing
,
and
in
its
practises
;
and
having
truely
examined
some
part
of
your
Faith
and
Doctrines
,
and
the
manner
of
your
Worships
,
and
your
Ordinances
,
and
the
Orders
,
and
Discipline
,
and
Government
of
your
whole
Church
;
and
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
having
laid
all
things
to
the
Line
of
true
Judgement
,
and
equally
measured
them
;
hereupon
I
do
from
the
Lord
,
and
by
his
Spirit
,
propound
and
assert
these
things
unto
you
.
First
,
That
your
Church
is
not
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
and
Elected
Spouse
,
but
is
degenerated
in
her
Faith
,
and
in
her
Doctrines
,
and
in
her
Worships
and
Ordinances
,
in
her
Orders
,
Discipline
and
Government
,
from
what
the
true
Church
of
Christ
was
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
before
the
Apostacy
.
2.
That
the
Constitution
of
your
Church
,
and
the
chief
part
of
your
Worship
and
Ordinances
,
and
the
way
and
manner
of
your
Discipline
and
Government
are
of
Man
,
and
set
up
and
standeth
by
the
will
of
Man
,
and
are
not
after
God
,
nor
according
to
him
,
but
are
after
the
Traditions
of
Man
,
learned
and
practised
therein
,
which
is
Idolatry
,
and
are
not
in
the
Commandments
of
Christ
,
nor
in
the
Example
of
his
Apostles
,
non
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
but
without
the
Spirit
of
God
,
being
set
up
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
since
the
Apostacy
came
in
,
which
hath
overshadowed
the
whole
World
.
3.
That
there
hath
been
over
the
World
for
Generations
,
and
many
Ages
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
and
true
Churches
,
a
general
declination
and
falling
away
from
the
true
Faith
and
Doctrines
,
and
from
the
Worship
and
Ordinances
,
and
from
the
Discipline
and
Government
,
that
was
amongst
the
Apostles
,
and
practised
in
the
true
Churches
of
Christ
in
their
dayes
,
and
your
Church
is
in
that
declination
,
and
falling
away
.
4.
That
Antichrist
,
the
Beast
,
and
the
Whore
,
and
false
Prophets
,
have
reigned
over
the
World
for
Generations
;
the
Antichrist
that
hath
opposed
Christ
,
and
been
exalted
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
been
worshipped
as
God
;
the
Beast
that
hath
killed
the
Saints
,
and
warred
against
them
,
and
had
power
over
Kindreds
and
Tongues
,
and
the
World
hath
wondred
after
him
;
the
Whore
whom
the
Beast
hath
carried
,
she
hath
sate
upon
Peoples
,
Multitudes
,
and
Nations
,
and
drunk
the
Blood
of
the
Saints
,
and
of
the
Martyrs
,
and
she
hath
corrupted
the
Earth
,
and
caused
all
to
drink
her
Cup
of
Fornications
:
And
the
false
Prophets
have
overspred
the
Nations
,
and
deceived
them
;
and
you
and
your
Church
are
the
Peoples
,
the
Multitudes
,
and
the
Kindreds
that
the
Beast
hath
received
Power
over
,
and
the
Whore
hath
sate
upon
,
and
the
false
Prophets
deceived
.
5.
That
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
the
elected
Spouse
,
and
the
beloved
City
,
who
brought
forth
him
that
was
to
rule
the
Nations
,
hath
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
been
fled
into
the
Place
of
Mourning
and
Desolation
,
for
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
dayes
;
and
the
Gentiles
Feet
have
troden
down
the
holy
City
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
and
had
power
over
her
for
forty
and
two
moneths
;
and
though
she
hath
not
been
prevailed
against
,
nor
overcome
,
so
as
to
be
extinguished
from
having
a
Being
,
yet
her
Being
hath
been
in
the
Wilderness
,
in
Mourning
and
Desolation
;
and
she
hath
not
appeared
in
the
Glory
and
Excellency
which
once
she
had
,
but
hath
lost
her
Garments
and
her
Attire
,
and
her
Heir
and
Husband
separated
from
her
,
and
caught
up
to
God
,
and
to
his
Throne
:
and
in
this
time
of
the
Desolation
,
and
treading
down
of
the
holy
City
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
and
the
reigning
of
the
Beast
and
the
Whore
,
hath
your
Church
been
extant
in
her
glory
and
power
,
which
hath
been
of
the
false
Woman
,
and
not
of
the
Elect
Spouse
,
that
is
married
to
the
Lamb.
6.
That
forcing
and
compelling
of
Persons
by
any
outward
Law
and
Authority
to
be
of
such
or
such
a
Religion
,
and
to
conform
to
such
a
Way
of
Worship
,
is
the
Worship
of
the
Beast
,
and
of
the
Whore
,
and
not
the
Worship
of
God
;
and
to
kill
and
persecute
Persons
for
the
exercise
of
Conscience
,
and
because
they
will
not
be
of
such
a
Religion
,
and
cannot
conform
to
such
Worship
,
is
of
the
Devil
and
the
Dragon
,
and
not
of
God
,
nor
according
to
him
;
and
that
your
Church
herein
is
not
Successor
of
the
Apostles
,
and
the
true
Church
of
Christ
;
but
is
of
the
Beast
and
the
Whore
,
which
Iohn
saw
was
to
come
in
his
time
,
and
which
we
see
are
come
in
our
dayes
,
and
have
ruled
for
Generations
;
and
I
affirm
,
that
Persons
so
made
conformable
,
by
force
and
violent
Laws
,
to
such
a
Religion
and
Worship
are
but
two-fold
more
the
Children
of
the
Devil
,
and
are
not
at
all
converted
to
God
thereby
,
but
becomes
Idolaters
,
whom
God
will
judge
.
7.
That
none
upon
Earth
are
true
Members
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
having
a
portion
in
the
Inheritance
of
Eternal
Life
,
but
such
who
are
gathered
out
of
the
World
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
and
are
changed
and
renewed
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
in
the
Heart
,
and
are
led
by
his
Spirit
within
them
into
all
Truth
,
and
are
joyned
unto
Christ
the
Head
,
and
gathered
into
the
Eternal
Unity
of
the
Infinite
Body
,
by
the
same
Spirit
and
A●ointing
dwelling
in
them
;
and
of
such
onely
doth
the
true
Church
of
Christ
consist
now
in
this
present
time
,
as
it
did
in
the
Apostles
dayes
:
but
of
such
Members
doth
not
your
Church
consist
in
this
present
Age
,
neither
is
it
in
the
Order
and
Government
of
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
but
in
the
Form
without
the
Power
,
therein
was
its
beginning
,
and
its
standing
at
this
day
.
8.
That
the
time
is
at
hand
,
and
the
Day
of
the
Lord
draws
near
,
and
the
ful●ess
of
time
is
approaching
,
wherein
great
Babylon
shall
be
thrown
down
,
and
fall
to
the
Ground
,
and
the
Lord
will
be
avenged
on
her
,
and
will
render
Judg●ents
unto
her
;
and
the
Beast
,
and
Whore
,
and
false
Prophets
,
unto
whom
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
have
been
subject
,
shall
be
taken
,
and
cast
alive
into
the
Lake
,
and
the
Devil
and
Satan
shall
deceive
the
Nations
no
more
;
but
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
shall
be
changed
,
and
become
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
his
Christ
,
whose
Kingdom
shall
be
revealed
in
Power
and
great
Glory
,
in
the
hearts
of
his
Chosen
:
And
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
all
the
false
Sects
and
Churches
upon
the
Earth
,
will
the
Lord
God
overthrow
,
and
his
true
Church
shall
be
gathered
out
of
the
Wilderness
;
and
the
Beauty
of
new
Ierusalem
,
of
the
holy
Church
,
the
Lamb's
Wife
,
shall
be
as
Glorious
,
a●
before
she
fled
thither
,
and
before
she
was
troden
down
of
the
Gentiles
;
and
the
Lord
God
Almighty
shall
be
known
,
and
his
Tabernacle
shall
be
with
men
.
These
things
I
assert
to
you
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
truth
thereof
is
certain
,
and
should
be
ready
to
argue
and
dispute
these
things
with
any
sober
Person
amongst
you
,
upon
equal
tearms
,
and
to
prove
the
Infalibility
hereof
,
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
wherefore
consider
of
them
in
Patience
and
Meekness
,
and
believe
in
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
is
in
your
Consciences
,
which
Christ
hath
lightened
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
withall
,
that
you
may
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
and
out
of
all
false
Wayes
:
and
if
any
of
you
will
return
an
Answer
hereunto
,
in
behalf
of
your
whole
Body
,
and
can
be
able
to
clear
your selves
in
Writing
from
what
is
charged
upon
you
,
it
shall
be
gladly
received
by
me
,
and
a
Reply
i●
Meekness
returned
to
you
for
the
further
m●nifestation
of
Truth
,
that
Truth
and
Righteousness
may
clearly
appear
,
and
be
embraced
,
and
all
Deceit
and
and
false
wayes
of
Antichrist
may
be
confounded
,
and
denyed
;
and
who
are
in
the
Truth
shall
be
confirmed
,
and
who
are
in
the
Error
may
have
Warning
now
in
the
Day
of
the
World's
Visitation
.
The
Lord
is
coming
to
Judgment
,
who
will
judge
the
Secrets
of
all
Hearts
,
and
the
whole
World
in
Equity

These
Propositions
were
sent
to
them
in
Latine
.
This
was
sent
to
the
chief
Rector
of
the
Jesuits
Colledge
in
Dunkirk
,
in
Latine
.
FRiend
,
thy
wisdom
and
thy
knowledge
is
earthly
and
sensual
,
and
thereby
canst
thou
not
know
the
Things
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
thou
canst
neither
learn
them
thy self
,
nor
teach
them
to
others
;
for
thou
art
but
a
blind
Leader
of
the
Blind
:
And
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
unto
thee
,
The
Fruitless
Tree
is
standing
in
thee
,
that
brings
forth
no
Fruit
unto
God
;
and
the
Head
of
the
Serpent
is
not
broken
in
thee
,
that
deceives
the
Soul
;
nor
the
Body
of
Sin
put
off
,
that
burdens
the
Just
:
and
the
Sword
shall
cut
thee
to
pieces
,
even
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
,
it
shall
slay
thee
.
And
Friend
,
The
time
is
at
hand
that
the
Lord
will
make
thee
know
,
that
thou
art
,
and
hast
been
in
thy
Life
time
,
a
Dishonour
to
him
;
and
that
thou
hast
not
served
him
,
but
thy self
,
and
the
Devil
;
and
thy
Heart
is
not
right
in
his
sight
,
but
is
corrupt
and
deceitful
;
for
thou
art
tryed
and
measured
,
and
thou
art
found
wanting
in
all
things
:
and
God
will
judge
thee
,
and
the
Witness
in
thy
Conscience
shall
answer
his
Judgments
;
and
all
thy
Idolatrous
Practices
,
and
Profession
of
Religion
,
and
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
thy
many
Prayers
,
and
thy
Works
of
Righteousness
,
all
this
shall
not
hide
thee
from
the
Wrath
of
the
Lamb
;
though
now
thou
art
hardened
,
●nd
utterly
unsensible
,
yet
the
Stone
shall
fall
upon
thee
,
that
will
grind
thee
to
Powder
,
and
thou
shalt
not
escape
,
but
the
burden
of
thy
own
Iniquities
shall
weigh
thee
down
into
Perdition
,
except
thou
speedily
repentest
:
Therefore
fear
and
tremble
before
the
Lord
God
,
and
remember
thou
art
warned
by
one
that
seeks
the
Peace
of
Souls
;
but
makes
War
by
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
against
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
,
in
whomsoever
it
stands
.
And
Friend
,
answer
me
this
one
Query
;
What
is
that
Whore
that
hath
sate
upon
Multitudes
and
Peoples
?
and
what
is
that
Golden
Cup
in
her
Hand
?
and
what
are
the
Abominations
and
Fornication
,
of
which
her
Cup
is
full
,
which
she
hath
caused
the
Kings
and
People
to
drink
,
and
with
which
she
hath
deceived
the
World
?
Answer
me
this
,
and
subscribe
thy
Name
.
E.
B.
ANd
now
this
I
have
to
say
concerning
the
Church
of
Rome
,
to
them
,
and
to
all
the
World
,
as
having
been
in
a
measure
an
eye
and
an
ear
Witness
of
their
Idolatrous
and
false
Wayes
,
Practices
,
and
Doctrines
;
never
having
in
all
my
dayes
,
till
this
time
,
and
at
this
opertunity
of
going
to
Dunkirk
,
not
having
any
knowledge
outwardly
what
their
Wayes
and
Practices
were
;
not
having
any
knowledge
I
say
by
my
sight
,
and
particular
hearing
concerning
them
,
without
me
,
otherwise
then
what
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
within
me
did
make
manifest
:
Though
from
a
Child
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
in
me
,
hath
abhorred
Popery
,
and
all
that
which
savours
of
it
:
But
now
having
been
an
eye
and
ear
Witness
in
a
little
measure
of
their
Practices
and
Doctrines
,
this
I
have
to
say
to
them
,
and
all
men
;
Blindness
and
Ignorance
covers
them
as
with
a
Mantle
,
and
they
are
wrapped
up
in
the
body
of
Darkness
,
and
gross
Darkness
they
do
dwell
in
;
and
all
their
Wayes
,
and
Worships
,
are
but
the
Works
of
Darkness
,
which
they
are
led
on
in
by
the
false
feigned
spirit
of
Imagination
,
from
one
Generation
to
another
,
being
exercised
therein
:
And
the
sense
of
the
Spirit
of
Life
they
have
not
,
but
have
wholly
lost
it
;
and
they
know
nothing
at
all
of
the
Leading
of
it
,
nor
of
its
Teaching
:
This
they
hiss
at
as
a
thing
of
nought
when
it
is
spoken
of
to
them
.
They
have
even
sold
themselves
into
the
Land
of
Ignorance
and
Blindness
,
and
they
hate
to
be
reformed
;
they
are
settled
upon
a
false
Foundation
,
even
the
Traditions
of
men
,
which
the
Lord
will
break
down
,
and
their
whole
Building
will
fall
.
And
when
I
consider
how
thousands
,
and
ten
thousands
lie
in
the
Captivity
of
Blindness
and
Darkness
under
them
,
my
Heart
is
rent
for
them
,
upon
the
consideration
how
they
are
led
in
Darkness
and
Blindness
,
and
how
they
rest
in
a
false
confidence
,
which
will
destroy
their
Souls
,
and
the
Blood
of
many
rests
upon
the
heads
of
them
that
leadeth
them
;
for
they
that
lead
them
,
cause
them
to
err
:
and
the
Blood
of
Souls
will
be
required
at
their
hands
:
And
as
for
the
Poor
and
common
Sort
of
them
,
there
is
a
pit●y
in
me
for
them
;
because
they
are
led
by
the
Blind
,
and
are
out
of
the
Way
:
but
as
for
the
Priests
and
Iesuites
,
and
Clergy
men
,
they
are
to
be
cut
off
with
the
edge
of
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
the
Wo
is
unto
them
,
and
no
Pitty
;
because
they
cause
the
People
to
err
,
and
keep
the
People
in
Ignorance
and
Blindness
,
under
their
false
and
unrighteous
Wayes
and
Worships
.
And
this
I
know
,
The
Word
of
the
Lord
is
gone
forth
against
the
whole
Body
of
the
Romish-Church
,
from
the
Head
to
the
Tail
of
them
,
will
God
plead
with
them
;
the
time
is
at
hand
,
and
his
Eye
shall
not
pitty
,
neither
shall
his
Hand
spare
to
punish
them
:
The
Decree
of
the
Lord
is
sealed
,
and
he
will
take
Vengeance
upon
their
Unrighteous
Laws
,
which
binds
the
Consciences
of
People
,
and
limits
the
Spirit
of
the
holy
One
;
their
Unrighteous
Ecclesiastical
Laws
I
mean
,
under
which
is
defended
all
manner
of
Idolatry
,
and
they
compel
people
to
be
Idolaters
by
a
Law
,
and
whereby
they
drink
the
Blood
of
the
Saints
,
and
of
the
Martyrs
:
But
the
Lord
will
take
Vengeance
upon
them
,
and
disanul
their
Covenants
and
Decrees
;
and
his
Spirit
shall
not
be
limitted
,
but
shall
rend
them
to
pieces
,
even
their
Laws
and
Cruelties
,
and
Inquisitions
,
by
which
they
are
defended
,
and
their
Religion
upheld
in
the
World
,
and
whereby
they
kill
the
Just
,
and
murder
the
Innocent
,
that
are
better
then
they
;
for
the
fulness
of
time
is
come
,
and
all
these
shall
be
tumbled
down
;
for
their
unjust
Laws
,
and
Inquisitions
,
are
the
main
strength
and
Pillars
of
their
Church
,
whereby
their
Church
and
Worship
doth
stand
:
and
if
they
had
not
these
cruel
Laws
and
Inquisitions
to
defend
themselves
by
in
their
Religion
,
they
would
be
soon
prevailed
against
;
for
they
have
nothing
of
the
Spirit
and
Authority
of
God
,
to
stand
in
,
nor
to
fight
with
,
against
such
as
do
oppose
them
;
but
their
Weapons
are
Carnal
,
and
Devilish
,
and
by
Murders
,
Oppressions
,
and
Tyrannies
they
do
defend
themselves
;
and
when
these
things
are
broken
down
,
then
their
Church
cannot
stand
long
.
And
as
sure
as
the
Lord
lives
,
so
shall
it
come
to
pass
,
a
Generation
shall
accomplish
it
,
and
in
the
Generation
of
the
Righteous
Seed
it
shall
be
finished
;
their
Laws
shall
be
broken
down
,
and
Murders
avenged
,
and
their
weakness
shall
then
appear
,
and
their
Whoredoms
and
Idolatries
,
and
all
their
Abominations
shall
be
made
naked
,
and
uncovered
,
and
judged
by
the
Lamb
,
and
them
that
follow
him
,
whom
he
will
gather
to
fight
his
Battel
.
And
if
the
People
were
but
sensible
hereof
,
as
in
measure
I
am
,
through
the
Zeal
of
the
Lord
,
it
would
raise
up
the
Spirit
of
zeal
in
them
all
,
to
seek
vengeance
,
and
the
overthrow
of
all
their
unrighteous
Laws
,
and
Inquisitions
,
and
Murders
,
which
keeps
people
in
Darkness
and
Ignorance
,
and
kills
the
Just
,
that
the
Creatures
may
be
saved
,
and
Tyranny
condemned
:
And
when
once
the
Lord
doth
but
reach
forth
his
Arm
,
then
shall
People
be
awakened
to
mind
what
I
now
say
.
Who
would
spare
their
own
lives
for
the
accomplishing
of
such
a
Work
,
that
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
may
have
liberty
,
and
that
which
limits
it
may
be
dashed
to
pieces
;
and
that
the
Earth
may
be
set
at
liberty
,
and
all
Europe
made
free
from
the
Cruelties
and
Tyrannies
of
Antichrist
and
of
the
Whore
?
And
to
all
you
Papists
I
say
,
and
to
all
the
Body
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
prepare
prepare
;
for
the
Lord
God
is
coming
up
against
you
in
his
dreadful
Power
,
his
Word
of
eternal
Judgemnt
is
gone
forth
,
and
his
Vials
are
full
of
Wrath
to
be
poured
forth
;
and
he
will
be
avenged
upon
your
Tyrannies
and
Murders
,
and
unequal
Laws
,
and
subdue
them
before
him
:
And
his
Dread
shall
fall
upon
your
Consciences
;
ye
that
are
Idolaters
,
Hypocrites
,
Ignorant
wretches
,
wilful
Persons
and
Bond-slaves
of
Satan
,
the
Plagues
of
God
,
and
the
Wrath
of
the
Lamb
shall
reach
unto
your
high
Throne
;
Repent
,
repent
,
for
the
Lord's
Wrath
is
kindled
against
you
;
and
if
there
be
any
among
you
,
that
feareth
the
Lord
,
let
him
deliver
his
own
Soul
,
by
turning
from
your
Abominations
,
least
the
Lord
come
upon
you
and
destroy
you
altogether
:
Give
up
your
Inquisitions
,
give
up
your
unjust
Laws
,
and
cease
to
murther
the
Innocent
,
and
torment
the
Righteous
.
I
demand
this
of
you
on
the
Lord's
behalf
,
Vex
not
the
Lord
any
longer
;
for
his
Patience
is
turned
into
Anger
against
you
,
and
his
Long-suffering
will
become
Fury
to
devour
you
.
And
no
little
service
we
had
in
Dunkirk
among
our
English
Army
;
divers
Meetings
we
had
in
the
Town
,
and
declared
the
Message
of
Salvation
:
And
I
must
commend
the
spirit
of
our
English
men
for
moderation
,
more
then
the
men
of
any
other
Nation
,
and
I
did
many
times
clear
my
Conscience
among
them
,
both
as
they
were
men
,
Sons
of
Adam
,
and
in
relation
to
an
eternal
State
did
direct
them
to
the
Way
of
Happiness
,
out
of
Sin
and
Wickedness
,
that
they
might
come
to
God
,
preaching
the
everlasting
Gospel
;
that
as
they
were
Sons
of
Adam
in
Transgression
,
they
might
come
to
be
healed
,
and
come
into
Christ
the
Power
and
Wisdom
of
God
,
and
might
be
saved
.
Again
,
as
they
were
Soldiers
,
and
as
they
were
an
Army
,
I
was
moved
to
speak
much
unto
them
,
that
they
might
know
what
their
service
was
there
in
that
state
;
sometime
saying
unto
them
,
It
was
possible
the
Lord
might
have
some
good
work
to
do
by
them
,
if
they
were
faithful
and
not
seek
themselves
,
but
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
.
And
at
one
time
being
sent
for
by
Governor
Lockhart
,
where
there
were
many
Officers
with
him
,
and
we
had
much
discourse
with
them
;
and
this
lay
upon
me
to
declare
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
unto
them
;
that
if
they
did
enterprize
any
business
,
as
they
were
an
Army
,
in
a
spirit
in
opposition
unto
us
,
and
in
that
spirit
that
did
reject
us
,
and
deny
us
,
and
gain-say
us
;
then
should
they
never
prosper
in
any
enterprize
whatsoever
:
but
if
they
went
on
in
any
degree
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
that
Spirit
that
was
among
us
,
then
should
they
overcome
their
Enemies
,
and
none
should
have
power
over
them
,
nor
overcome
them
.
And
after
I
was
parted
from
them
,
this
following
Paper
was
upon
me
to
write
unto
the
whole
Army
in
general
,
both
to
Officers
and
Soldiers
.
To
the
English
Army
,
to
Officers
and
Souldiers
.
Friends
,
I
Am
moved
to
clear
my
Conscience
unto
you
,
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
to
warn
you
,
that
you
may
all
learn
Wisdom
,
and
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
may
stand
in
his
Counsel
alwayes
;
for
that
will
be
a
defence
unto
you
at
all
times
,
and
therein
will
you
prosper
in
the
Lord's
Work
,
and
chiefly
unto
you
,
the
small
remnant
of
our
English
Army
in
and
about
Dunkirk
;
I
say
unto
you
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
Fear
the
Lord
God
,
and
walk
in
his
Wisdom
;
and
every
particular
Person
amongst
you
,
inquire
of
the
Lord
,
●hat
he
requires
of
you
;
inquire
of
the
Lord
I
say
,
and
know
his
Will
,
and
be
obedient
unto
it
in
all
things
,
and
so
shall
you
prosper
in
standing
in
God's
Counsel
,
and
in
performing
his
Will
:
and
so
shall
you
be
exalted
,
and
have
victory
over
your
Enemies
,
even
as
you
seek
the
Honour
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Glory
;
for
if
you
honour
him
,
and
do
that
which
is
acceptable
to
him
,
he
will
honour
you
,
and
set
you
atop
of
all
your
Enemies
,
and
he
will
make
way
through
the
Mountains
,
even
by
you
,
for
the
further
appearance
of
his
Glory
;
and
he
will
honour
you
as
his
Work-men
,
if
you
be
faithful
to
him
,
and
walk
in
his
Counsel
and
Wisdom
,
till
he
hath
prepared
his
own
way
by
you
;
for
assuredly
it
is
not
in
vain
,
but
the
Lord
had
some
end
in
it
,
to
himself
,
in
bringing
you
to
that
Place
;
and
what
do
you
know
but
he
may
have
some
good
Work
for
you
to
do
:
It
is
possible
there
is
more
in
his
Heart
,
and
in
his
Purpose
concerning
you
then
yet
may
be
discovered
to
you
:
wherefore
it
is
good
for
you
,
that
you
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
to
know
his
Will
fully
concerning
you
,
that
you
may
do
it
,
and
fulfill
it
;
and
therein
shall
be
your
Crown
,
but
on
the
contrary
dependeth
your
misery
and
destruction
.
And
this
I
do
know
,
That
the
Lord
hath
owned
and
honoured
our
English
Army
,
and
done
good
things
for
them
and
by
them
in
these
Nations
in
our
Age
;
and
the
Lord
once
armed
them
with
the
spirit
of
courage
and
zeal
against
many
Abominations
,
and
he
was
with
them
in
many
things
he
called
them
to
,
and
gave
them
Victory
and
Dominion
over
much
Injustice
and
Oppression
,
and
cruel
Laws
▪
and
he
was
with
them
,
till
that
a
spirit
of
vain
Glory
and
Ambition
,
and
Self
seeing
,
and
the
Honour
of
this
World
entered
into
some
and
defiled
the
whole
Body
,
and
made
it
deformed
,
and
void
of
its
former
beauty
,
and
of
its
valour
and
nobleness
also
,
at
which
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
was
kindled
,
and
against
you
also
was
his
Hand
turned
,
with
the
loss
of
his
Presence
,
because
the
sincerity
and
the
faithful
Principle
was
almost
choaked
,
and
the
Good
eaten
out
from
amongst
you
,
by
the
false
spirit
of
Self-seeking
and
Vain
Glory
,
which
was
entered
into
the
Hearts
of
many
;
but
this
is
to
the
Army
in
general
,
and
to
say
no
more
of
it
to
you
,
onely
that
you
might
search
your
own
hearts
,
and
may
be
purged
,
and
may
again
return
to
the
old
spirit
of
Righteousness
,
which
will
reach
after
the
liberty
of
the
people
,
and
the
freedom
of
the
Nations
,
and
that
all
Oppression
may
be
broken
down
to
the
dust
before
you
,
and
be
subdued
by
you
as
your
Prey
:
and
that
there
be
no
more
a
looking
back
by
you
for
rest
and
ease
in
the
flesh
,
in
great
Houses
of
residence
,
till
you
have
visited
Rome
,
and
inquired
after
,
and
sought
out
the
Innocent
Blood
that
is
buried
therein
,
and
avenge
the
Blood
of
the
Guiltless
through
all
the
Dominions
of
the
Pope
;
the
Blood
of
the
Just
it
cryes
through
Italy
and
Spain
,
and
the
time
is
come
,
that
the
Lord
will
search
it
,
and
seek
it
out
,
and
repay
it
;
and
it
would
be
your
honour
to
be
made
use
of
by
the
Lord
,
in
any
degree
in
order
to
this
matter
,
whether
the
Lord
will
revenge
the
grievous
blood-guiltiness
that
lies
upon
them
,
by
himself
without
an
Instrument
,
or
whether
by
you
or
others
as
an
Instrument
;
whether
this
way
or
another
that
God
will
do
it
,
this
I
determine
not
;
but
this
I
do
know
,
The
time
is
not
long
,
that
he
will
one
way
or
another
avenge
,
and
revenge
,
the
Blood
of
the
Just
upon
the
murderous
Head
:
and
this
I
also
believe
,
that
the
Lord
will
do
it
,
or
make
way
hereunto
even
by
you
,
the
men
of
our
English
Nation
,
if
you
be
faithful
to
him
,
and
do
what
he
requires
of
you
;
for
what
are
these
few
poor
Islands
,
that
you
have
run
through
,
and
laid
many
Mountains
low
;
they
are
but
little
in
comparison
of
the
great
part
of
Christendom
in
which
Idolatry
,
and
grievous
Oppressions
do
abound
,
which
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
against
,
and
which
he
will
take
Vengeance
upon
:
Oh
did
you
but
see
and
perfectly
know
,
the
Cruelties
,
the
Oppressions
,
the
Idolatries
,
the
Murders
,
and
all
whatsoever
that
is
Evil
,
both
in
Civil
and
Ecclesiastical
State
,
that
is
brought
forth
,
and
rules
in
full
Power
in
all
the
Pope's
Dominions
;
I
do
say
,
Were
you
but
fully
acquainted
with
all
these
things
,
and
also
of
the
purpose
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
speedily
to
visit
them
with
his
Rod
,
it
would
awaken
you
,
and
stir
you
up
;
and
it
would
set
your
spirits
on
fire
of
a
great
Zeal
,
with
Desires
of
no
greater
Honour
,
then
to
be
Instruments
in
any
degree
towards
the
executing
of
so
good●
a
Work
;
even
towards
the
relieving
of
the
Oppressed
,
and
breaking
the
B●nds
of
Cruelty
,
that
the
Nations
may
come
to
Rest
,
and
may
no
more
be
captivated
with
the
Chains
of
Antichrist
;
I
do
say
,
it
would
be
your
greatest
Honour
to
be
Instruments
in
such
a
Work
:
and
do
you
know
what
the
Lord's
Purpose
is
concerning
you
?
onely
this
I
do
know
,
The
Lord
hath
a
love
to
the
men
of
our
Nation
,
and
there
is
a
spirit
in
them
most
fitting
for
such
a
work
;
even
the
Zeal
of
the
Lord
hath
appeared
,
and
is
beginning
to
appear
against
Babylon
,
and
against
Rome
,
the
Seat
of
the
Whore
;
and
the
Kingdom
of
Antichrist
shall
be
thrown
down
,
and
the
Righteous
People
shall
go
free
,
and
Nations
shall
worship
the
Lord
;
but
there
are
many
Mountains
in
the
way
;
wherefore
hew
down
the
Tops
,
strike
at
the
Branches
,
make
way
,
that
the
Ax
may
be
laid
to
the
Root
of
the
Tree
,
that
your
Sword
,
and
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
,
may
neither
leave
Root
nor
Branch
of
Idolatry
,
Oppressions
and
Tyranny
,
which
the
Nations
are
held
in
slavery
under
,
and
oppressed
withal
,
to
the
grieving
of
the
Righteous
Soul
,
and
vexing
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
.
Oh
,
how
great
is
their
Idolatries
!
you
see
a
little
part
thereof
amongst
you
;
oh
,
what
false
,
feigned
,
deceitful
and
hypocritical
Services
do
they
practice
;
their
Images
,
their
Pictures
,
and
their
praying
before
them
,
which
is
Idolatry
;
their
Candles
burning
,
and
their
Organs
,
and
Instruments
of
Musick
,
and
feigned
singing
;
all
this
is
Idolatry
and
Superstition
,
and
a
vexation
to
the
Lord
;
and
that
Law
which
imposeth
them
upon
people
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
,
and
that
Law
which
condemns
others
as
Hereticks
that
will
not
worship
thus
,
and
that
Power
that
kills
and
destroyes
those
that
act
against
those
Worships
,
Laws
,
and
Powers
,
ought
ye
to
make
war
against
,
and
to
claim
a
disanulling
of
all
such
Laws
and
Authorities
by
which
this
Idolatry
is
imposed
upon
Peoples
Consciences
,
and
established
in
the
Nations
,
and
by
which
many
are
destroyed
and
condemned
,
who
cannot
bow
to
their
Idolatries
,
such
Laws
are
not
to
stand
before
you
;
for
these
be
the
Bryars
and
Thorns
which
cover
the
great
Mountains
,
whom
the
Whore
sitteth
upon
,
which
the
Lord
will
judge
;
did
you
but
know
all
their
Unrighteous
Laws
,
Murders
,
and
all
Cruelties
which
are
abounding
among
them
,
and
they
have
a
despensation
to
commit
Unrighteousness
;
those
Laws
ought
to
be
judged
and
destroyed
,
and
your
Sword
is
to
be
lifted
up
against
them
:
It
is
the
Lord's
Work
,
I
know
,
to
make
men
truely
religious
;
but
yet
the
Lord
may
work
by
you
,
to
break
down
the
Bryars
and
Thorns
,
and
Rocks
and
Hills
,
that
have
set
themselves
against
the
Lord
,
and
which
keep
People
under
the
Chains
of
Idolatry
,
so
that
they
commit
Idolatry
,
and
are
compelled
to
it
,
and
defended
in
it
,
even
by
a
Law
:
but
the
Lord
will
confound
all
this
,
either
by
means
,
or
without
means
;
for
such
is
their
Oppression
in
their
Ecclesiastical
State
,
and
their
Unjust
Laws
whereby
their
Church
is
established
and
defended
,
that
it
causeth
the
very
Earth
to
mourn
,
and
the
Spirits
of
the
Righteous
to
faint
,
and
their
Hearts
to
fail
because
of
Oppression
;
to
Murder
,
and
Steal
,
and
Rob
,
and
to
commit
Adultery
,
these
are
counted
little
Sins
amongst
them
,
they
are
even
tolerated
,
and
pardoned
by
the
Pope
,
for
a
little
Money
;
and
if
they
slay
a
Man
,
and
wilfully
murder
him
,
they
can
run
to
their
Altar
,
there
they
can
have
a
Dispensation
of
a
wicked
Pardon
;
and
here
is
a
Law
that
tolerates
Murder
,
and
the
greatest
Sins
;
wherewhereby
it
is
hard
for
any
that
fears
God
for
to
be
amongst
them
;
and
Blood
,
blood
lies
upon
their
whole
Dominions
,
and
the
Guilty
go
free
,
and
uncondemned
,
and
the
Innocent
suffer
unjustly
;
for
if
any
diminish
from
about
their
Mass-houses
to
the
value
of
a
Peny
,
that
is
death
by
their
Law
;
while
Murder
is
tolerated
;
and
here
is
nought
but
Tyranny
and
Oppression
abounding
,
even
great
Mountains
,
which
must
be
thrown
down
,
and
for
which
the
Sword
of
the
Lord
must
come
upon
them
;
and
God
will
make
their
Riches
,
and
their
falsely
consecrated
Vessels
and
Treasures
,
even
a
spoil
,
and
a
prey
unto
you
,
if
you
be
faithful
unto
the
Lord
;
wherefore
all
you
Officers
,
fear
the
Lord
God
,
and
be
not
ambitious
,
nor
vain-glorious
,
nor
seek
not
your selves
to
gain
unto
your selves
Kingdoms
,
to
exalt
your
own
Horn
;
for
if
you
go
in
this
way
,
and
if
this
be
your
end
;
then
your
end
shall
be
frustrated
,
and
you
shall
not
prosper
;
for
the
Lord
will
lay
you
aside
with
shame
unto
you
:
but
let
it
be
your
work
and
your
aim
to
require
and
demand
the
dis●nulling
of
their
Inquisitions
and
cruel
Laws
,
both
in
their
Church
and
civil
State
;
and
that
Christ
alone
may
exercise
the
Peoples
Consciences
,
neither
be
ye
as
Lords
nor
Tyrants
over
your
poor
Soldiers
,
but
be
ye
loving
and
meek
towards
them
;
I
say
unto
you
Officers
,
and
to
all
you
that
bear
rule
in
the
Army
,
Be
loving
and
kind
,
and
gentle
unto
all
under
your
Authority
,
and
be
not
as
Tyrants
nor
Oppressors
over
your
poor
Soldiers
,
but
be
Examples
of
all
goodness
unto
them
,
and
give
them
no
evil
Example
in
your
lives
and
conversations
;
but
lead
them
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
know
a
measure
of
his
Wisdom
in
you
,
whereby
you
may
walk
before
them
,
and
they
may
possess
their
freedoms
in
their
Conditions
;
and
may
not
be
as
Slaves
to
you
,
but
as
Servants
to
the
Lord
in
their
places
:
and
herein
shall
you
be
blessed
,
as
you
fulfill
that
which
the
Lord
requires
.
And
likewise
unto
all
the
Soldiers
I
say
,
That
ye
may
be
sober
and
moderate
,
and
faithful
to
the
Lord
,
and
not
go
in
the
Excess
and
Superfluity
of
this
Creation
;
but
may
be
all
kept
low
in
your
Hearts
,
and
tender
towards
God
:
and
obey
them
that
have
power
over
you
in
all
things
which
are
just
,
and
be
not
deboist
nor
given
to
Vanity
;
but
all
of
you
both
Officers
and
Soldiers
,
live
in
that
which
keeps
your
Consciences
void
of
offence
,
and
that
you
may
be
clear
and
free
in
your
own
spirits
from
the
Abominations
of
the
Nations
,
and
then
you
will
be
a
Terror
to
the
Evil
in
all
People
wheresoever
you
come
;
and
being
clear
and
free
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
having
no
sin
lying
upon
your
Consciences
,
then
shall
you
face
your
Enemies
with
courage
,
and
not
fear
death
;
but
shall
be
ready
to
lay
down
your
lives
for
a
Testimony
of
Jesus
in
a
good
Cause
,
and
upon
good
Engagements
:
and
if
the
Lord
be
your
Fear
,
then
no
man
can
make
you
afraid
,
but
you
will
be
in
that
which
overcometh
the
Unrighteous
Power
within
you
,
and
without
you
also
;
and
here
is
the
true
honour
,
and
in
this
it
doth
consist
,
in
victory
over
all
that
which
is
contrary
to
God
;
and
here
is
the
true
Way
to
Happiness
and
Prosperity
in
this
Life
,
and
in
the
Life
to
come
,
by
seeking
his
Glory
,
and
not
your
own
:
and
all
of
you
come
to
the
Light
of
Christ
,
that
Christ
hath
lighted
you
withall
,
and
that
will
teach
you
all
things
what
you
ought
to
do
,
and
what
you
ought
not
to
do
;
for
that
Light
of
Christ
within
you
,
ought
to
be
the
Guide
of
all
the
Children
of
Men
,
in
every
State
,
Place
,
and
Condition
;
and
upon
this
you
are
to
wait
for
Counsel
to
receive
it
from
the
Lord
,
by
that
of
him
made
manifest
within
you
:
and
as
for
all
your
outward
Teachers
,
that
have
used
their
Tongues
amongst
you
,
and
said
,
The
Lord
saith
it
,
when
God
hath
not
spoken
to
them
,
nor
sent
them
;
and
that
preach
for
Hire
and
Sums
of
Money
,
and
these
are
them
that
cannot
profit
the
People
,
nor
ever
bring
you
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
nor
give
you
Counsel
from
the
Lord
;
and
if
you
seek
to
uphold
them
,
and
defend
them
against
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Word
which
is
gone
forth
against
them
,
then
shall
you
not
prosper
,
but
fall
with
them
;
and
if
you
do
enterprize
any
work
in
that
spirit
that
doth
oppose
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Iesus
in
his
people
,
you
can
never
have
good
success
,
but
the
Lord
will
confound
you
before
your
Enemies
.
And
so
now
that
you
may
all
come
into
the
New
Covenant
,
to
be
taught
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
be
far
from
all
Oppression
,
this
is
the
thing
that
you
are
all
to
wait
for
;
and
to
know
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
go
on
in
that
against
Unrighteous
Men
,
and
Unrighteous
Laws
,
which
are
set
up
in
the
Nations
,
that
they
may
be
destroyed
,
and
brought
under
;
and
yet
though
such
a
Victory
would
be
honourable
unto
you
,
yet
there
is
a
Victory
more
Honourable
,
to
wit
,
The
Victory
over
Sin
,
and
Death
,
and
the
Devil
in
your selves
,
and
that
you
are
to
mind
;
and
there
is
a
Kingdom
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
which
cannot
be
obtained
by
an
Outward
Sword
,
and
this
Kingdom
are
you
to
wait
for
,
that
you
may
know
it
,
and
feel
it
in
your
own
particulars
:
and
this
is
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
unto
you
,
and
the
Glad-tidings
held
forth
unto
all
of
you
;
come
into
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
mind
it
,
that
you
may
be
lead
by
it
,
and
then
may
you
be
fit
Instruments
for
the
Lord
to
work
by
:
And
take
heed
how
you
oppose
those
whom
the
Lord
hath
sent
,
and
is
sending
abroad
in
the
Nations
,
to
proclaim
the
Mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
;
they
are
no
Enemies
to
you
,
nor
to
any
mans
Person
,
and
therefore
be
tender
over
them
;
for
they
go
about
the
Lord's
Work
;
of
this
I
warn
you
all
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
.
And
so
you
dwelling
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
there
is
nothing
shall
destroy
you
,
nor
confound
you
,
but
you
shall
have
Victory
over
all
your
Enemies
within
you
,
and
without
you
,
and
the
Lord
will
make
you
a
Dread
and
a
Fear
to
the
Nations
.
And
so
this
is
a
Warning
unto
you
all
,
both
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
that
you
may
mind
what
the
Work
of
the
Lord
God
is
in
the
Nations
:
Your
Work
hath
been
,
and
may
be
honourable
in
its
Day
and
Season
;
but
he
hath
a
Work
more
honourable
to
work
after
you
;
that
is
,
To
destroy
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
,
and
the
ground
of
Wars
:
And
your
Victory
hath
been
of
the
Lord
;
but
there
is
a
more
honourable
Victory
to
be
waited
for
,
even
the
Victory
over
Sin
:
and
so
we
are
the
Friends
of
the
Creation
,
that
do
preach
this
Victory
,
and
this
Kingdom
,
and
Peace
,
which
is
Endless
and
Everlasting
,
and
which
many
are
come
into
,
And
as
for
the
many
and
divers
sorts
of
Worship
,
which
are
come
up
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
are
of
the
Whore
,
and
not
of
the
true
Church
;
they
are
all
to
be
thrown
down
,
and
the
Worship
that
is
in
Spirit
and
Truth
to
be
set
up
by
the
Lord
,
and
he
is
gathering
people
into
that
Worship
;
but
if
you
be
out
of
the
Fear
of
God
,
in
the
Rudeness
and
Wickedness
of
the
World
,
and
seek
your selves
,
and
not
the
Freedom
of
the
Nations
only
;
then
the
Lord
will
lay
you
aside
as
a
broken
Pot-sheard
,
and
raise
up
unto
himself
a
People
,
that
shall
fulfil
his
work
,
and
do
it
;
for
he
hath
much
Work
to
do
in
the
Nations
;
for
he
is
gathering
his
Elect
Seed
,
and
changing
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
and
making
them
become
the
Kingdoms
of
Christ
:
and
so
be
low
in
your
own
eyes
,
and
do
not
seek
your selves
,
but
seek
one
anothers
Good
,
and
seek
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Freedom
of
the
Oppressed
;
and
in
that
you
will
be
blessed
,
and
prosper
,
till
you
have
set
up
your
Standard
at
the
Gates
of
Rome

I
am
a
Lover
of
all
your
souls

Sufferer
in
Patience
under
the
Cruelties
of

And
some
small
Discourse
we
had
with
our
English
Priests
,
that
supply
the
Place
of
Chaplins
to
the
Army
;
and
in
particular
one
of
them
,
which
had
spoken
something
behind
our
backs
against
us
;
and
we
proffer'd
to
have
some
discourse
with
him
,
but
he
refused
it
(
only
to
evade
the
matter
at
that
present
)
he
bid
us
state
some
of
our
Principles
in
writing
,
and
he
would
answer
them
in
dispute
in
some
publick
place
:
and
being
he
was
not
willing
to
engage
to
dispute
otherwise
,
we
were
free
to
write
this
following
Paper
;
but
we
had
no
answer
in
agreement
to
dispute
with
us
,
but
shifted
the
thing
from
himself
,
by
telling
us
,
The
Governour
was
〈◊〉
willing
.
But
this
was
not
the
same
Priest
before
mention'd
,
that
we
had
discourse
with
at
our
first
coming
into
the
Town
.
Friend
,
FOr
the
manifestation
of
Truth
,
and
that
the
perfect
difference
between
thee
,
and
us
,
may
be
known
;
and
who
are
in
the
Truth
,
and
who
in
the
Error
;
and
that
Truth
from
Error
may
be
clearly
discerned
:
therefore
according
to
thy
own
Proposals
,
and
expressed
Desires
thereof
before
many
,
we
do
here
assert
some
Particulars
of
that
Truth
which
we
have
rece●●ed
from
God
,
and
do
hold
forth
and
maintain
in
the
World
,
in
opposition
to
thee
,
or
any
other
,
that
shall
gainsay
them
,
viz.
-
1.
That
Christ
hath
lightened
all
men
with
a
Light
,
sufficient
in
it self
to
bring
them
to
Salvation
,
if
they
follow
it
.
-
2.
That
God
hath
given
Christ
to
be
the
Saviour
of
all
men
.
-
3.
That
none
are
justified
by
Christ
and
his
Righteousness
without
them
,
but
as
they
have
receiv'd
Christ
and
his
Righteousness
,
and
witness
them
reveal'd
in
themselves
.
-
4.
That
the
Saints
of
God
may
be
perfectly
freed
from
Sin
in
this
life
,
so
as
no
more
to
commit
it
.
-
5.
That
the
National
Ministers
and
Churches
,
not
only
of
Papists
,
but
of
the
Protest●●ts
also
(
as
they
now
stand
)
are
not
the
true
Ministers
and
Churches
of
Christ
.
-
6.
That
the
Scriptures
are
a
true
Declaration
,
given
forth
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
by
holy
Men
of
God
,
moved
by
it
to
write
them
;
and
are
profitable
;
but
are
not
the
Foundation
,
nor
the
most
perfect
Rule
of
Faith
and
Life
to
the
Saints
.
These
things
we
are
freely
willing
and
desirous
to
discourse
upon
,
with
thy self
,
and
any
others
,
that
shall
joyn
with
thee
,
in
the
presence
of
sober
and
wise
men
,
who
may
judge
between
us
,
in
any
publick
Place
,
that
may
be
procured
by
thee
,
according
to
thy
Engagements
in
this
Particular
;
provided
it
may
be
in
the
Spirit
of
Meekness
and
Moderation
,
and
that
all
fair
and
sober
Dealing
may
be
amongst
us
,
and
the
Fear
of
God
.
And
to
this
we
expect
thy
speedy
Answer
;
concerning
Time
and
Place
.

The
Propositions
were

for
to

all
Advantages
against

,
that
right

on

AN
Epistle
to
Friends
IN
LONDON
.
Dearly
beloved
Friends
and
Brethren
,
WHom
the
Lord
hath
called
with
his
Heavenly
Call
,
and
made
you
Eye-Witnesses
,
and
Feeling-Witnesses
of
his
Power
,
and
of
his
Truth
,
my
dear
Love
in
the
Lord
falutes
you
all
,
for
the
Lord's
sake
,
without
respect
of
Persons
;
and
I
Greet
you
with
a
holy
Kiss
.
Dearly
Beloved
,
I
bare
you
witness
,
That
some
of
you
have
loved
the
Lord
above
all
things
,
and
for
his
Truth
the
Glory
of
this
World
,
with
its
Vanities
,
have
been
denyed
by
you
;
and
now
I
wish
in
the
Lord
,
the
abounding
and
enlarging
of
the
Love
and
Life
of
God
in
you
,
and
amongst
you
all
.
And
my
Dear
Friends
,
In
that
the
Lord
hath
blessed
you
in
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
and
of
his
Wayes
,
and
called
you
to
serve
him
,
and
to
live
unto
him
,
and
not
unto
your selves
;
now
this
remains
unto
you
all
to
be
done
by
you
,
even
that
you
be
Faithful
and
Careful
in
the
Great
Work
of
the
Lord
,
which
he
is
doing
amongst
you
,
and
in
the
World
at
this
day
:
And
first
of
all
,
See
that
every
one
of
you
stand
in
God's
Counsel
,
and
that
ye
do
his
Will
in
all
things
,
as
the
Lord
maketh
it
manifest
to
you
;
and
watch
over
your
own
Hearts
,
and
keep
your selves
clear
from
the
Evil
of
this
World
.
I
am
moved
of
the
Lord
to
write
to
you
in
particular
,
and
to
warn
you
in
his
Name
,
who
hath
begotten
you
to
himself
,
That
you
be
mighty
careful
and
circumspect
in
all
your
wayes
,
and
that
you
walk
as
Patterns
and
Examples
to
all
the
tender
Babes
of
God
in
the
Flock
;
and
that
by
your
wise
Conversation
,
and
Faithfulness
in
the
Truth
,
the
Weak
may
be
strengthened
,
and
the
Hungry
may
be
filled
,
and
they
that
are
of
the
World
,
who
thirst
for
the
Lord
,
may
be
won
into
the
Truth
.
My
God
knoweth
,
and
ye
know
also
,
the
Care
and
Burdens
which
I
have
had
in
that
Place
;
and
seeing
I
am
thus
ordered
of
the
Lord
at
this
present
,
I
do
beseech
you
all
,
for
the
Truth
's
sake
,
That
you
,
unto
whom
God
hath
given
Grace
,
and
Strength
,
and
Wisdom
,
and
Knowledge
,
that
you
take
the
Care
upon
you
to
watch
with
the
Flock
,
and
over
them
that
are
Weak
.
And
I
say
again
,
You
must
be
mighty
careful
in
the
Lord
,
that
you
may
walk
in
all
things
to
his
Glory
;
so
as
there
be
no
turnings
back
from
the
Truth
by
any
,
nor
no
occasion
given
to
the
Heathen
to
Reproach
Truth
;
therefore
not
any
Service
of
your
own
must
you
equal
with
the
Lord's
Service
:
But
at
all
times
be
armed
with
the
Lords
Armour
,
to
do
and
to
suffer
for
the
Truth
.
And
this
seems
Good
unto
me
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
That
you
in
particular
do
keep
a
Meeting
among
your selves
,
once
in
Three
Weeks
,
or
a
Moneths
time
,
as
ye
see
meet
;
that
in
the
Counsel
of
God
you
may
consider
of
all
things
in
relation
to
the
Truth
;
and
that
you
may
advise
one
with
another
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
of
things
amongst
you
;
that
in
good
Order
all
things
may
be
kept
:
And
if
any
Disorderly
Persons
,
who
profess
the
Truth
,
be
known
to
any
of
you
,
let
it
be
presented
to
all
;
and
Two
or
Three
of
you
,
as
you
are
moved
,
may
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
his
Wisdom
,
reprove
such
Persons
and
Things
,
by
which
in
the
least
Truth
is
Dishonoured
;
and
if
such
resist
Reproof
,
then
account
them
as
out
of
the
Body
,
and
the
Life
can
have
no
Fellowship
with
such
;
but
first
reprove
Offences
and
Failings
in
Secret
,
and
in
much
Wisdom
also
,
lest
you
destroy
the
Righteous
with
the
Wicked
.
And
I
lay
it
upon
you
,
that
you
judge
nothing
but
what
is
for
Judgment
;
and
when
any
thing
comes
before
you
,
to
be
tryed
,
or
judged
of
,
be
tender
of
the
Simplicity
;
and
take
heed
of
Rash
Judgment
,
and
Forward
Words
;
be
mighty
considerate
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
that
nothing
be
judged
wholly
,
in
which
there
is
any
thing
of
God
;
but
dwell
in
that
which
doth
discern
,
and
distinguish
,
and
separate
the
Precious
from
the
Vile
,
that
you
may
divide
Judgment
a
right
in
all
Causes
;
and
the
Pure
may
be
Strengthened
,
and
the
Deceit
Confounded
:
For
such
a
thing
may
be
,
and
come
to
pass
,
which
cannot
wholly
be
Justified
,
nor
altogether
Condemned
;
and
in
such
things
,
in
Friends
,
you
had
need
be
mighty
careful
,
that
the
Right
Way
may
be
spared
,
and
the
Wicked
cut
off
.
And
if
any
of
you
be
moved
to
Minister
among
the
Flock
,
let
it
be
done
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
in
his
Wisdom
,
to
the
refreshing
of
the
Weak
,
and
to
the
building
up
the
Body
;
and
if
you
do
it
in
the
Power
of
God
,
then
you
will
be
answered
by
the
Witness
of
his
Spirit
in
every
one
;
and
you
,
and
they
will
feel
an
Increase
from
God
.
And
if
any
Minister
amongst
you
,
with
which
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
hath
not
.
Fellowship
,
but
is
an
Offence
to
the
Just
,
bare
such
in
Patience
for
a
season
,
and
shew
them
in
Meekness
and
Love
their
Fault
,
that
they
may
be
restoed
,
rather
then
cast
out
.
And
if
any
amongst
you
be
over-taken
with
a
Fault
,
and
found
faulty
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
in
any
Particular
;
reprove
,
and
convert
,
and
instruct
such
privately
in
Meekness
;
and
if
they
rebel
and
resist
,
then
reprove
them
,
and
let
them
be
judged
openly
:
And
charge
all
,
that
in
all
things
they
keep
to
their
own
Measures
of
Christ
,
and
that
they
act
nothing
,
nor
speak
nothing
without
the
Leading
of
his
Spirit
;
and
that
will
bind
under
deceitful
spirits
.
And
as
for
those
Rebellious
,
and
Treacherous
,
and
Deceitful
Lying
spirits
amongst
you
,
which
may
trouble
you
,
as
they
have
formerly
done
,
to
the
great
Dishonour
of
the
Lord
;
I
wish
they
were
cut
off
,
as
for
the
Truth
's
sake
,
yet
I
exhort
you
to
bear
them
with
Patience
,
and
not
to
heed
them
,
nor
be
troubled
at
them
;
but
account
of
them
as
Disorderly
,
and
out
of
the
Body
:
and
fre●
not
in
your selves
,
because
of
the
Wicked
;
such
things
be
but
for
a
time
,
but
Truth
is
forever
,
and
they
that
walk
therein
,
their
Fruits
shall
never
wither
.
And
let
Friends
keep
their
private
Meetings
on
the
First-days
with
Diligence
,
and
none
to
run
abroad
without
Foar
,
but
as
they
are
moved
of
the
Lord
,
and
then
there
will
be
a
Service
in
it
for
the
Lord
:
and
as
any
of
you
are
moved
,
be
faithful
to
exhort
Friends
hereunto
;
and
with
a
single
Eye
be
watchful
,
that
all
things
in
good
Order
may
be
kept
amongst
you
,
that
the
Name
of
the
Lord
may
be
a
Renown
,
and
his
Truth
kept
without
Blemish
,
and
your
Authority
in
the
Truth
may
be
known
a
Terror
upon
the
Wicked
.
My
dear
Friends
,
whom
I
judge
to
be
Honest
and
Faithful
,
this
was
I
moved
to
write
to
you
,
as
the
dear
Remembrance
of
my
dear
Love
;
and
I
do
from
the
Lord
commit
it
to
you
,
to
fulfil
the
will
of
God
in
these
things
;
and
the
Lord
bless
you
all
with
Wisdom
and
Counsel
,
and
with
Power
and
Strength
;
and
the
Lord
give
you
Authority
,
that
you
may
reign
with
all
them
that
come
amongst
you
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
over
all
them
that
come
in
their
own
name
:
The
Lord
bless
you
with
a
perfect
Understanding
in
these
things
;
and
my
Spirit
,
even
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
be
upon
you
all
,
to
teach
you
perfectly
in
all
things
:
My
Love
and
Life
is
amongst
you
;
who
desires
nothing
more
then
the
Prosperity
of
the
Lord's
Truth
amongst
you
.
The
Grace
of
God
be
with
you
all
,
Amen
.
This
is
to
be
read
amongst
you
,
when
you
are
met
together
whom
the
Lord
hath
set
to
order
things
in
his
Wisdom
,
and
this
is
to
all
the
Faithful
amongst
you
.

his
Day-spring
from
on
High
hath
visited
us
,
and
his
Light
hath
shined
into
our
Tabernacle
;
and
his
Arm
hath
taken
hold
of
Strength
,
to
Redeem
the
Oppressed
People
;
and
he
hath
reached
forth
to
us
from
his
holy
Habitation
,
out
of
his
Everlasting
Loving-kindness
,
and
hath
caused
us
to
reach
forth
to
others
from
his
own
Life
revealed
in
us
,
that
they
may
know
what
God
hath
done
for
his
People
,
and
may
also
receive
of
the
same
Salvation
,
and
may
taste
,
handle
and
feel
of
the
Life
which
is
manifest
,
of
which
we
are
Witnesses
;
and
the
Lord
hath
spoken
,
who
can
but
declare
?
and
he
hath
lifted
up
his
Standard
to
gather
the
Nations
,
that
he
may
search
and
seek
out
his
Sheep
;
and
this
I
declare
unto
you
,
and
withal
,
am
willing
to
discover
and
make
manifest
,
the
Way
and
Means
whereby
,
the
Lord
doth
bring
●●●vation
to
his
People
;
and
love
constrains
me
knowing
the
Lord
hath
a
Seed
amongst
you
,
unto
which
my
Testimony
will
be
acceptable
:
wherefore
all
people
turn
ye
,
turn
ye
;
for
the
Lord
calleth
unto
you
,
harken
unto
his
Testimony
which
speaketh
in
you
,
even
the
Light
of
Chri●●
Jesus
,
with
which
every
one
of
〈◊〉
are
enlightened
;
and
search
your
Hearts
,
and
feel
what
the
Lord
witnesseth
unto
you
,
and
what
his
Testimony
in
you
giveth
evidence
of
;
for
who
walks
in
Pride
,
in
Wickedness
,
in
Vanity
,
and
in
the
Pleasures
of
the
World
,
and
acteth
against
God's
Witness
in
their
Consciences
,
such
are
in
a
State
to
be
condemned
of
the
Lord
;
because
they
act
that
,
and
speak
that
which
is
reproved
with
the
Light
,
shewing
that
they
are
in
a
State
unreconciled
to
God
,
their
Works
shewing
them
to
be
evil
Trees
that
cumber
the
Ground
,
who
are
to
be
hewen
down
,
and
cast
into
the
Fire
:
and
therefore
be
not
deceived
in
your selves
,
neither
let
any
man
deceive
you
with
a
Profession
,
or
Conceit
of
a
Justification
by
Christ
,
while
yet
Iniquity
and
Transgression
,
and
the
Evil
of
the
World
are
lived
in
,
and
not
wholly
denyed
;
for
to
the
Wicked
there
is
no
Peace
from
God
:
but
the
Wicked
are
condemned
by
him
,
and
the
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
is
witness
against
them
.
Therefore
all
come
to
the
Light
,
which
Christ
hath
lightened
you
withal
,
which
will
manifest
unto
you
your
own
Condition
,
and
whether
it
be
justified
,
or
condemned
of
God
;
and
believe
not
against
the
Light
,
nor
hope
not
against
God's
Witness
;
for
they
that
do
so
,
their
Faith
and
Hope
is
vain
;
but
what
the
Light
testifies
in
you
,
that
believe
.
And
all
you
that
may
find
your selves
sinners
,
loaden
with
Iniquity
,
and
that
are
the
Servants
of
Sin
,
and
have
no
power
over
Temptations
,
believe
in
that
Light
which
gives
you
to
see
this
,
and
wait
till
the
Power
of
God
be
made
manifest
in
you
to
cleanse
your
Hearts
,
and
to
judge
out
all
Unrighteousness
;
for
Christ
hath
not
taken
away
your
Sins
,
while
you
daily
bring
them
forth
into
the
World
by
Action
:
but
whose
sins
he
hath
taken
away
,
them
he
hath
washed
and
cleansed
from
their
sins
,
and
given
them
power
to
resist
and
overcome
all
Temptations
:
wherefore
wait
upon
the
Lord
all
ye
that
are
afflicted
because
of
your
sins
,
the
Day
of
a
great
Deliverance
is
approaching
;
and
mind
the
Light
which
lets
you
see
Sin
,
that
is
the
Gift
of
God's
Love
unto
you
,
which
will
draw
you
from
the
love
of
the
World
,
and
crucifie
your
Affections
and
Desires
which
go
after
it
;
and
if
you
mind
the
Light
of
Christ
in
you
,
it
will
judge
and
condemn
every
Motion
that
ariseth
in
the
Heart
towards
Evil
,
and
the
Temptation
being
judged
,
you
will
not
fall
into
Sin
,
but
will
be
preserved
from
Sin
;
and
that
which
doth
preserve
you
from
the
committing
of
that
Sin
,
unto
which
you
are
tempted
,
doth
blot
out
and
forgive
all
the
Sins
that
ever
you
have
acted
;
and
that
will
witnes
,
Reconciliation
and
Peace
with
God
unto
you
,
as
you
come
to
be
changed
and
renewed
in
your
Hearts
and
Minds
,
to
be
created
in
the
second
Adam
,
his
Image
to
bear
,
and
to
follow
his
Spirit
:
And
Friends
,
search
your
Hearts
,
and
let
the
Lord
search
you
,
and
judge
you
;
for
him
must
you
know
to
sit
as
a
Refiners
Fire
,
to
purifie
your
Hearts
,
that
you
may
be
fit
Temples
for
him
to
dwell
with
,
who
dwells
with
Holiness
,
and
the
Unclean
are
cast
out
from
his
Presence
;
and
he
is
come
amongst
you
,
to
search
you
,
and
try
you
,
and
to
discover
his
Foundation
,
and
the
Wise
in
their
own
eyes
shall
stumble
and
fall
,
and
be
broken
;
and
it
s
the
Poor
in
spirit
,
and
Upright
in
heart
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
chosen
,
and
with
such
will
he
dwell
:
and
now
all
must
come
to
feel
that
which
breaks
down
the
high
nature
,
which
ruled
above
the
Seed
of
God
;
the
Ax
must
be
laid
to
the
Root
of
the
cursed
Tree
,
which
hath
brought
forth
no
Fruit
to
God
,
but
cumbered
the
Ground
;
and
that
Tr●e
must
be
cut
up
in
every
one
of
you
,
and
cast
into
the
Fire
,
that
the
Plant
of
God's
Renown
may
spring
forth
,
and
bring
forth
Fruit
:
Now
every
one
must
come
to
know
the
two
Seeds
,
in
which
the
Election
and
Reprobation
stands
,
the
one
with
all
its
Fruit
must
be
●ast
out
,
and
Judgment
from
the
Lord
must
pass
upon
it
;
for
that
Seed
hath
long
been
fruitful
in
the
World
,
and
flourished
in
the
Earth
,
its
Fr●●●
hath
been
according
to
the
Flesh
,
which
the
Lord
is
now
risen
to
blast
with
a
Curse
;
and
all
your
earthly
glory
must
wither
,
and
all
your
ioy
and
peace
that
stands
in
this
Creation
must
pass
away
,
and
all
your
own
wisdom
must
be
confounded
;
for
that
receives
not
the
Things
of
God
,
but
to
it
they
are
foolish
,
ness
,
it
is
only
the
Simple
and
Poor
in
Spirit
that
are
taught
of
God
,
and
it
is
with
the
Meek
and
Humble
that
he
dwells
;
but
who
are
high
in
their
Minds
,
and
exalted
above
the
Fear
of
God
,
who
follow
their
own
wayes
and
thoughts
,
such
have
no
part
in
him
,
but
are
cast
out
into
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
covers
them
from
the
Light
and
Knowledge
of
the
Lord
God
;
they
know
not
him
to
dwell
in
them
,
nor
to
lead
them
,
nor
to
guide
them
,
neither
doth
his
Spirit
lead
such
into
all
Truth
:
but
they
rebel
against
the
Motions
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
checks
them
,
and
reproves
them
for
their
evil
Deeds
;
but
they
hate
the
Light
,
and
love
Darkness
,
and
bring
forth
the
Fruits
of
Darkness
,
which
the
Light
reproveth
for
:
but
because
they
are
disobedient
to
it
,
they
cannot
receive
Power
over
their
sins
,
but
Sin
hath
power
over
them
;
and
in
this
State
there
is
no
Peace
,
nor
Justification
to
them
,
but
Trouble
and
Condemnation
from
God
.
Wherefore
all
ye
People
that
fear
God
,
and
love
his
Wayes
,
be
obedient
to
the
Light
,
which
Christ
hath
lightened
you
withal
,
which
calls
you
out
of
Transgression
,
and
reproves
you
when
you
act
against
it
;
and
this
is
the
Measure
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
is
sent
into
the
World
to
gather
people
to
God
,
from
whence
it
comes
;
this
leads
to
Christ
,
and
will
bring
you
to
receive
him
to
dwell
in
you
,
and
to
cleanse
you
from
all
Unrighteousness
;
and
as
you
come
to
be
made
clean
by
the
Word
of
God
,
which
is
Quick
and
Powerful
,
in
all
that
believe
,
which
Word
you
must
feel
to
cleanse
and
purifie
you
in
your selves
,
and
to
make
you
clean
from
all
that
which
offends
the
Life
of
God
;
and
then
you
will
receive
the
Testimony
of
Justification
,
as
you
come
to
be
quickened
by
God
,
by
the
quickening
Spirit
,
by
which
every
one
must
be
quickened
from
Death
(
which
hath
reigned
over
all
)
to
Life
,
that
it
may
reign
in
you
;
and
till
this
be
known
,
all
Profession
of
the
Scriptares
avails
nothing
towards
Life
Eternal
:
therefore
feel
in
your selves
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Quickening
Spirits
,
that
you
may
be
made
alive
to
God
again
.
And
all
you
that
are
convinced
with
the
Light
,
be
faithful
therein
through
all
Tryals
and
Sufferings
which
are
to
come
upon
you
inwardly
or
outwardly
;
for
great
Tryals
and
Sufferings
without
will
come
,
and
great
Judgments
,
and
Afflictions
within
will
approach
;
but
through
all
these
things
be
faithful
,
and
in
them
all
be
patient
to
the
End
,
that
you
may
obtain
Life
Eternal
,
which
is
the
Reward
of
all
the
Faithful
.
And
dwell
in
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
in
which
the
Power
of
God
will
be
witnessed
amongst
you
,
which
will
throw
down
that
which
hath
ruled
above
the
Seed
of
God
,
that
the
Seed
of
God
may
come
forth
,
in
which
the
Election
stands
,
which
receives
the
Promise
of
God
:
but
Friends
,
there
must
be
a
long
and
patient
waiting
under
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
the
Operation
of
his
Spirit
,
before
you
come
to
witness
the
Election
;
you
must
be
faithful
to
that
which
calls
you
,
and
take
up
the
Cross
to
your
own
Wills
,
Lusts
,
and
Desires
,
and
Affections
which
arise
out
of
the
earthly
Part
;
for
that
which
is
of
the
Flesh
must
be
crucified
,
as
that
which
is
of
the
Spirit
comes
to
live
;
for
it
is
that
which
is
born
of
the
Spirit
in
you
,
which
is
Heir
of
God's
Kingdom
,
and
which
must
Inherit
Eternal
Life
:
And
so
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
every
one
of
you
,
that
his
Fear
may
be
in
your
Hearts
,
and
his
Spirit
in
your
inward
Parts
,
to
lead
you
,
and
to
guide
you
in
all
his
Wayes
:
And
meet
together
to
hear
what
the
Lord
saith
in
you
,
Hearken
to
his
Voice
,
that
your
Souls
may
live
;
It
is
the
Voice
of
God
heard
in
the
Creature
,
which
raises
the
Soul
from
Death
:
And
though
you
●ear
no
word
from
Man
,
yet
his
Voice
may
be
heard
in
you
,
if
your
Ear
be
turned
to
the
Light
,
with
it
your
Hearts
will
be
searched
,
and
your
Wayes
tryed
,
and
all
your
Words
and
Works
approved
,
or
reproved
and
●ere
is
your
Teacher
,
or
your
Condemner
:
and
this
was
I
moved
in
tender
〈◊〉
to
the
Seed
of
God
,
to
write
unto
you
;
Grace
and
Peace
from
God
be
●●ongst
you
all
,
that
fear
him
,
Amen
.

I

I
daily
read
such
in

I

who
know

amongst

which
have
been
more
then
a

my
God

ye
are
my

;
for
many
times
the
Lord
hath
made
me
as
a
Wall
of
Defence
betwixt
you
and
many
Enemies
;
and
I
have
not
spared
my
own
Life
to
serve
you
,
but
have
given
out
plentifully
of
the
Lord's
Treasure
,
that
you
might
be
made
rich
;
and
I
have
given
out
from
my
Life
of
the
Lord's
Substance
,
that
you
might
be
fed
and
nourished
;
and
I
have
kept
nothing
back
of
the
whole
Counsel
of
God
,
which
was
needful
for
you
to
know
;
and
for
all
this
,
the
Lord
is
unto
me
at
this
day
a
sufficient
Reward
:
and
of
you
I
desire
nothing
to
my self

but
do
sincerely
desire
of
the
Father
for
you
all
,
That
Love
,
and
Faith
,
and
Purity
,
and
all
the
Works
of
the

may
plentifully
abound
in
you
all
,
that
〈◊〉
Father
may
be
glorified
through
your
bringing
forth
much
Fruit.
Wherefore
my
dear
and
beloved
Friends
,
Look
unto
the
Lord
,
who
hath
begotten
you
to
himself
;
let
his
Fear
be
before
your
Eyes
,
and
his
Judgments
in
your
Hearts
;
Oh!
keep
near
the
Lord
at
all
times
;
for
it
s
he
that
preserves
his
People
,
it
s
he
that
leads
them
and
goes
before
them
,
it
s
he
that
feeds
them
,
and
refreshes
them
at
all
times
;
for
its
be
alone
,
and
there
is
not
another
,
that
gives
you
Peace
and
Strength
,
Wisdom
and
Knowledge
,
and
all
good
things
;
he
is
●ot
streightened
to
any
of
his
,
that
sincerely
wait
upon
him
;
he
is
the
Portion
of
his
People
,
and
the
Inhaeritance
of
their
Souls
:
and
he
causeth
all
them
〈◊〉
trust
in
him
to
lie
down
in
Safety
,
and
none
can
make
them
afraid
.
Therefore
,
oh
my
Friends
!
I
say
again
and
again
,
Love
the
Lord
,
and
his
Way

and
be
Faithful

the
Truth
unto
the
End
;
love
not

sake

but
give
up
all
things
of
this
World
,
that
you
may
receive
all
in
the
Lord
:
be
watchful
against
all
your
Enemies
,
that
you
be
not
overcome
of
the
Devil
,
but
resist
him
in
all
his
Ap●…
,
that
you
may
not
be
defiled

nor
lose
your
Peace
with
the

I
hope
to
you
of
greater
price
then
all
other
things
whatsoever
:
and
this
I
have
said
among
you
in
Faithfulness
,
and
at
this
present
do
charge
yo●
all
,
To
dwell
in
Love
and
Unity
one
with
another
,
and
to
●ear
one
with
another
,
and
to
walk
in
Wisdom
one
towards
another
,
and
to
be
Examples
of
Righteousness
one
before
another
,
that
it
may
be
known
that
God
is
amongst
you
of
a
Truth
;
and
he
is
my
Witness
,
nothing
without
me
can
more
add
to
my
Joy
,
then
to
know
of
your
Welfare
in
the
Lord
,
and
of
your
Stedfastness
in
the
Faith
of
Christ
Jesus
;
and
for
this
my
Heart
wisheth
,
as
much
as
for
any
other
thing
besides
:
And
though
I
be
outwardly
separated
from
you
,
according
to
my
Father's
Will
,
who
gave
his
Enemies
power
over
my
outward
man
,
to
cast
it
into
Bonds
for
a
moment
,
yet
am
I
present
in
Spirit
amongst
you
,
and
my
Love
and
Life
salutes
you
all
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
;
and
though
the
outward
man
may
suffer
,
yet
am
I
in
perfect
freedom
,
and
in
perfect
Peace
,
and
in
every
respect
perfectly
well
in
the
Lord
,
who
is
my
Strength
,
my
Armour
and
my
Crown
;
and
in
his
Authority
I
yet
once
more
beseech
you
all
,
even
for
the
Lord's
sake
,
That
ye
take
heed
to
the
true
Light
,
Christ
Jesus
,
who
lighteth
every
one
of
you
,
which
Light
leads
to
Christ
,
who
saveth
and
redeemeth
from
Sin
and
Death
,
and
from
all
the
Wayes
and
Works
thereof
;
and
this
ye
know
,
who
are
God's
Witnesses
of
his
Love
and
tender
Mercies
,
and
of
the
Faithfulness
of
his
Servant
.
Moreover
,
my
dear
Friends
,
All
disorderly
Spirits
,
who
are
out
of
the
pure
Fear
and
Wisdom
of
God
,
my
Life
doth
judge
,
and
with
the
Power
such
I
do
deny
,
who
are
not
Simply
in
the
Power
of
God
;
and
them
that
seek
themselves
in
any
thing
amongst
you
,
my
God
shall
judge
;
and
who
are
rash
in
Judgment
,
and
forward
to
utter
words
,
and
bring
forth
Fruit
,
and
not
in
due
season
,
such
are
a
Burden
to
the
Lord's
Soul
:
Therefore
take
heed
,
I
charge
you
all
,
to
the
guiding
and
moving
of
the
pure
Spirit
of
God
alone
;
for
that
will
stand
,
and
its
Fruits
will
never
wither
;
and
whatsoever
is
otherwise
brought
forth
among
you
,
the
Lord
will
confound
,
and
it
shall
not
profit
the
people
.
This
is
to
be
read
amongst
you
,
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
.

To
Friends
in
Barbadoes
,
Virginia
,
and
New-England
,
&c.
TO
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
to
all
that
are
begotten
of
him
by
the
Immortal
Word
,
in
Barbadoes
,
Virginia
,
New-England
,
and
that
wayes
,
even
to
all
that
have
felt
and
tasted
of
the
Word
of
Life
;
Grace
,
Mercy
and
Truth
be
multiplyed
amongst
you
.
Dear
Friends
,
dwell
in
the
Truth
,
and
walk
in
it
,
that
ye
may
be
a
sweet
Savour
unto
God
,
and
may
have
Unity
with
him
,
and
one
with
another
,
in
his
Life
and
Spirit
;
and
wait
,
that
you
may
have
Victory
over
the
World
,
and
the
Spirit
of
it
in
you
,
which
hath
captivated
your
minds
in
the
Lu●ts
of
this
Creation
,
and
which
hath
led
you
in
By-pathes
of
Iniquity
,
while
you
were
Strangers
unto
God
,
and
without
his
Knowledge
:
But
now
having
received
Grace
and
Mercy
from
God
,
and
his
Word
hath
entred
into
your
hearts
,
whereby
you
are
begotten
into
the
Hope
of
Eternal
Life
,
and
are
changed
,
now
the
Lord
requires
of
you
,
to
be
Faithful
in
his
Work
,
and
Valiant
for
his
Truth
,
that
you
may
obtain
the
Promise
,
and
be
made
free
from
Sin
,
and
become
the
Servants
of
Righteousness
;
and
feel
the
Word
and
Power
of
God
in
your
Hearts
,
which
will
crucifie
you
daily
to
the
World
,
and
make
you
alive
unto
God
,
that
he
may
live
in
you
,
and
walk
in
you
,
and
work
all
your
Works
for
you
;
and
this
is
the
Everlasting
Covenant
,
where
God
works
in
the
Creature
both
to
will
and
to
do
,
and
man
lives
not
,
but
Christ
lives
in
him
,
and
speaks
in
him
;
and
this
you
must
wait
for
,
to
be
Witnesses
of
in
your
own
Consciences
:
For
what
is
the
Profession
of
God
with
the
Lips
,
and
the
Profession
of
the
Scriptures
,
while
men
do
not
walk
by
the
Spirit
a●
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
and
enjoy
God
in
their
Hearts
?
so
you
must
all
wait
to
be
Possessors
of
the
Substance
,
Christ
,
the
First
and
the
Last
,
the
Beginning
and
Ending
,
him
must
you
feel
in
you
to
destroy
the
Devil
,
and
his
works
,
and
to
change
you
into
the
divine
Nature
,
which
is
like
unto
God
;
and
this
is
Salvation
,
God
with
us
,
destroying
the
Enmity
,
and
reconciling
man
unto
himself
,
by
overcoming
Sin
and
Transgression
;
and
your
hearts
must
be
cleansed
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
that
which
is
contrary
purged
out
;
and
this
is
the
New
Covenant
,
where
the
Heart
is
circumcised
,
and
the
Body
of
sin
put
off
,
and
the
Creature
freed
from
the
burden
of
Iniquity
;
and
then
there
is
clearness
and
freeness
,
where
sin
is
remitted
and
washed
away
,
and
no
burden
lying
upon
the
Conscience
,
but
the
Heir
of
God
born
,
the
Redeemer
,
which
maketh
free
from
the
Devil
and
Sin
;
and
they
are
the
Sons
of
God
,
who
are
thus
made
free
,
whose
Sins
are
remitted
and
Iniquity
covered
,
and
the
Life
rules
,
and
reigns
,
and
hath
overcome
Death
,
and
Death
is
swallowed
up
of
Life
;
and
this
is
the
Promise
of
God
,
which
must
be
fulfilled
in
you
that
ye
may
possess
the
Treasure
of
God
in
your
Hearts
,
and
be
Feeling-Witnesses
of
Immortality
;
your
Hands
must
handle
the
Word
,
and
you
must
taste
,
and
feel
and
see
the
Word
of
Life
within
you
;
and
you
must
find
the
Pearl
:
and
your
own
Lamps
must
have
Oyl
in
them
;
for
people
have
long
been
running
without
,
after
men
,
Lo
here
,
and
Loe
there
,
and
have
been
applying
the
Promises
in
the
wrong
nature
;
but
now
people
must
turn
to
the
Light
of
Christ
within
them
;
for
Christ
is
the
true
Light
,
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
and
this
Light
must
men
follow
,
and
then
they
shall
not
walk
in
Darkness
,
but
shall
have
the
Light
of
Life
;
and
men
must
walk
in
the
Light
,
and
then
the
Blood
of
Christ
cleanseth
from
all
sin
;
and
men
must
believe
in
the
Light
,
and
then
they
shall
be
the
Children
of
the
Light
,
and
then
Light
shall
shine
out
of
Darkness
;
and
the
Light
that
shines
in
their
hearts
,
shall
give
them
the
Light
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Glory
of
God
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ
.
So
Friends
,
love
the
Light
,
and
walk
in
the
Light
;
for
it
is
the
Light
within
that
lets
men
see
whether
their
Deeds
are
wrought
in
God
,
or
contrary
to
him
;
the
Light
within
will
let
you
see
of
what
nature
your
Works
are
,
whether
of
the
corrupt
nature
,
or
of
the
Divine
Nature
;
for
all
mens
Works
are
of
the
one
of
these
:
and
all
the
Works
that
spring
from
the
corrupt
nature
,
are
but
Abomination
unto
God
,
though
they
appear
never
so
Righteous
;
and
that
Righteousness
which
is
of
Man
,
cannot
be
justified
before
the
Lord
,
but
man
must
be
a
Partaker
of
God's
Righteousness
,
of
an
uncreated
Righteousness
,
and
that
will
cover
all
his
Infirmities
,
and
in
that
only
can
man
be
presented
Righteous
unto
God
:
So
Friends
,
Wait
to
be
Witnesses
of
this
Righteousness
,
that
you
may
be
cloathed
with
it
,
and
may
be
stripped
off
all
your
own
,
which
is
but
as
filthy
Rags
,
and
will
not
hide
mans
Nakedness
;
but
his
Righteousness
and
his
Sin
must
be
condemned
together
,
and
God
must
be
known
to
work
to
will
,
and
to
do
in
the
Creature
;
and
this
is
God's
Righteousness
,
for
which
you
must
all
wait
,
that
you
may
be
Heirs
of
it
,
and
Possessors
of
it
unto
your
Eternal
Peace
:
and
live
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
be
not
immoderate
nor
excessive
in
any
thing
,
nor
let
your
hearts
be
drawn
away
with
the
Creatures
;
for
then
you
commit
Idolatry
,
and
are
overcome
of
this
World
,
and
you
want
the
Authority
of
God
,
and
are
in
Bondage
unto
the
Creatures
,
and
they
defile
you
,
and
burden
you
in
that
state
,
while
your
Minds
are
captivated
with
them
.
So
Friends
,
Mind
God's
Wisdom
amongst
you
,
that
it
may
lead
you
in
all
things
:
and
live
in
Love
and
Unity
one
with
another
,
and
let
no
Strife
be
amongst
you
,
nor
Contention
,
for
that
will
destroy
you
,
and
eat
out
true
Love
,
and
your
Hearts
will
be
hardened
;
but
bear
one
with
another
,
and
be
in
Patience
and
Long-suffering
one
towards
another
,
and
then
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
will
fill
your
Hearts
with
Satisfaction
,
and
you
will
be
comforted
in
God
,
and
one
in
another
,
if
Love
and
Unity
be
amongst
you
in
the
Spirit
:
And
meet
together
in
the
Name
and
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
mind
the
Lord's
Presence
amongst
you
;
mind
not
words
,
but
mind
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
feel
his
Power
in
your
hearts
,
and
the
words
that
come
from
the
Power
will
refresh
the
Seed
of
God
;
but
if
any
speak
words
out
of
the
Power
,
the
Seed
of
God
will
be
burdened
,
and
will
judge
such
words
:
So
every
one
feed
upon
the
Bread
of
Life
,
that
comes
from
God
,
and
feel
the
Water
of
Life
springing
up
in
your
Hearts
,
that
you
may
grow
unto
God
as
Plants
of
Righteousness
,
and
may
make
your
Calling
and
Election
sure
:
So
dwell
in
the
Light
,
and
take
up
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
walk
not
in
the
Flesh
,
but
in
the
Spirit
,
and
so
shall
the
Blessings
of
the
Lord
be
upon
you
.
My
dear
Love
,
even
the
same
Love
wherewith
I
am
loved
of
my
Father
,
doth
salute
you
all
;
and
the
Seed
of
God
in
you
,
that
I
know
,
and
to
that
am
I
known
,
who
am
a
Brother
and
Companion
unto
all
the
Faithfull
and
Upright
,

Let
this

coppied
over
,
and
sent
abroad
,
and

Good
Counsel
AND
ADVICE
Rejected
by
Disobedient
Men
:
And
the
Days
of
Oliver
Cromwell's
Visitation
passed
over
;
And
also
,
Of
Richard
Cromwell
,
his
Son
;
late
Protectors
of
these
Nations
:
And
the
many
Precious
Warnings
neglected
by
them
,
and
set
〈◊〉
nought
,
which
from
time
to
time
were
given
unto
them
,
as
declared
in
these
following
Letters
;
whereby
all
may
see
the
Kindness
of
the
Lord
towards
them
,
by
his
Faithful
Invitations
to
them
,
and
their
own
Apostacy
and
Carelesness
;
who
rejected
Warning
till
the
Time

Day
of
their
Visitation
is
shut
up
with
the
Vail
of
Darkness
and
Reproach
,
which
lies
over
them

their
precious
Day
of

spent

To
the
READER

FRiend
,
Out
of
the
same
Love
from
whence
these
were
written
,
do
I
put
them
to
publick
view
;
and
it
was
not
without
much
Doubtings
and
Questioning
in
my
own
spirit
;
〈◊〉
at
last
;
having
found
perfect
Freedom
and
Strength
from
the
Lord
,
kn●…
that
I
am
〈◊〉
and
fr●●
altogether
of
other
Ends
,
saving
then
for
the
Hono●●
of
the
Truth
;
and
that
all
may
see
,
that
the
D●●nfalls
of
these
●en
were
not
before
sufficient
Warnings
,
which
makes
the
Lord
free
,
〈◊〉
his
Servant
free
,
from
what
is
co●●
to
pass
upon
them
;
and
even
their
Fall
lies
upon
their
own
heads
,
that
dispised
the
Lords
Warnings
,
and
would
none
of
his
Counsel
;
but
suffered
the
Innocent
to
be
oppressed
under
their
Power
,
and
relieved
not
the
Heritage
of
the
Lord
from
her
Cruel
Enemies
,
though
they
had
Power
to
do
it
;
but
〈◊〉
their
own
glory
,
and
how
to
be
established
in
greatness
in
the
Earth
,
till
that
●he
Lord
〈◊〉
cast
them
●ut
,
and
made
them
as
a
Reproach
:
And
these
things
that
have
come
to
pass
〈◊〉
them
,
may
be
as
Warnings
to
all
other
Rulers
that
do
succeed
them
;
and
they
may
〈◊〉
that
the
Lord
is
〈◊〉
,
and
his
Iudgments
Righteous

whosoever
shall
follow
their
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
be
Oppress●●s
of
the

Heritage

as
they
were

the

〈◊〉
them

their
Destruction

come

FRIEND
,
MAny
W●rnings
hast
thou
had
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
;
his
Love
hath
been
towards
thee
,
and
the
glorious
Day
of
his
Visitation
hath
shined
over
thy
head
,
wherein
he
hath
called
unto
thee
to
hear
and
obey
his
Voice
,
and
would
have
instructed
thee
in
the
Way
that
thou
shouldest
walk
,
that
thy
Soul
might
live
forever
in
Peace
and
Rest
,
when
this
World
is
passed
away
;
and
that
in
this
present
World
he
might
have
made
thee
a
Blessing
to
thy self
,
and
Posterity
,
and
People
,
and
a
Praise
in
thy
Dominions
,
and
unto
Ages
after
t●ee
,
if
thou
hadst
hearkened
and
obeyed
his
Voice
,
and
chosen
his
Way
and
Counsel
,
and
not
thine
own
;
and
then
would
●e
have
made
thine
Enemies
to
have
bowed
under
thee
,
and
the
Force
of
their
Policy
and
Arm
should
never
have
prevailed
against
thee
;
and
thou
shalt
be
delivered
from
the
Will
of
all
that
hate
thee
,
if
thou
yet
wilt
hearken
unto
him
,
and
receive
his
Instruction
,
and
set
th●
heart
to
seek
his
Honour
●ore
then
thi●e
own
,
and
wilt
let
his
Counsel
be
thy
Guide
and
Ruler
,
and
not
v●in
man
,
which
must
be
brought
to
nought
;
even
now
,
before
the
Day
of
thy
Visitation
be
spent
,
never
more
to
be
re-called
,
and
the
time
come
when
God
will
cease
to
strive
with
thee
,
and
will
not
call
unto
thee
,
but
will
leave
thee
to
thy
own
heart's
false
Judgment
,
and
the
Counsels
of
Treacherous
Men.
And
Friend
,
I
,
as
one
that
hath
obtained
Mercy
from
the
Lord
,
unto
w●om
his
Word
is
committed
,
being
moved
of
him
,
do
hereby
in
his
Presence
yet
once
more
warn
thee
,
That
thou
fear
before
him
,
and
diligently
hearken
to
him
,
and
seek
him
with
all
thy
heart
,
that
thou
mayst
know
his
Will
and
C●●●sel
concerning
thee
,
and
mayst
do
it
,
and
●●nd
Favour
in
his
Sight
,
and
live
;
and
now
is
the
Day
that
his
Hand
is
stretched
forth
unto
thee
,
to
make
thee
a
Blessing
,
or
to
leave
thee
a
Curse
forever
:
and
the
Dayes
of
thy
Visitation
are
near
an
end
,
when
God
will
no
more
call
unto
thee
,
nor
hear
thee
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
the
Day
of
thy
Trouble
thou
callst
to
him
,
neither
will
answer
theeby
Vision
,
nor
Dream
,
nor
Prophets
;
but
will
leave
thee
to
the
counsels
of
Tr●…us
men
,
who
will
seek
after
thy
Life
,
and
wait
for
thy
Over-throw
,
and
〈◊〉
for
Evil
against
thee
,
that
they
may
glory
in
thy
Desolation
;
and
such
th●●●
are
,
of
whom
thou
hast
need
to
beware
:
and
if
thou
rejectest
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
and
followest
the
Desires
of
thine
own
Heart
,
and
the
Wills
of
men
,
and
wilt
not
have
the
Light
of
the
World
,
Christ
Jesus
,
only
to
rule
thee
,
and
to
teach
thee
,
which
condemns
all
Evil
;
then
shall
Evil
surely
fall
upon
thee
,
if
thou
lovest
not
the
Light
in
thee
,
which
condemns
it
;
and
the
Judg●●●ts
of
God
,
nor
the
Day
of
his
last
Visitation
with
Vengeance
thou
mayst
not
escape
.
Therefore
consider
,
and
mark
my
words
,
and
let
this
Counsel
be
acceptable
unto
thee
,
th●●
thy
dayes
may
be
many
,
and
Blessed
upon
Earth
;
and
●●●st
consider
,
and
let
it
move
upon
thee
to
Meekness
,
to
Humbleness
,
and
to
fear
before
the
Lord
;
assuredly
knowing
,
that
it
is
he
that
changeth
times
and
things
;
and
that
bringeth
down
and
setteth
up
whomsoever
he
will
;
and
how
that
thou
wast
raised
from
a
low
estate
,
and
set
over
all
thine
Enemies
;
and
thy
〈◊〉
was
exalted
above
them
all
,
and
he
gave
thee
the
Necks
of
Princes
to
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
and
more
Honourable
,
and
their
Dominions
to
in●●rit
;
and
thou
wast
〈◊〉
a
Ruler
in
much
Dominion
,
and
had
Favour
in
his
Sight
,
and
in
the
●ight
of
many
people
,
who
wished
well
to
thee
for
a
Blessing
:
many
Victories
honor●●●●
and
remarkable
were
given
unto
thee
,
over
them
who
had
exalted
themselves
against
God
;
and
this
thou
knowest
,
That
not
by
Might
,
nor
by
Multitude
,
〈◊〉
by
the
Arm
of
the
Lord
were
they
subdued
and
made
a
P●ey
unto
thee
,
and
their
Treasures
a
Spoil
unto
thy
Hands
;
and
so
it
was
that
thou
mightest
have
glorified
him
forever
,
and
exalted
him
in
the
great
Congregation
,
and
gone
on
in
Faithfulness
unto
the
End
:
and
in
that
day
,
when
thou
wast
raised
up
,
when
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
was
before
thy
face
,
and
thy
Heart
was
towards
him
,
and
thou
wast
but
little
in
thy
own
eyes
,
then
was
it
well
with
thee
,
and
the
Lord
blessed
thee
,
and
made
thee
honourable
,
and
his
People
had
love
towards
thee
,
and
desire
for
thee
,
that
thou
mightest
have
been
as
a
Helper
to
the
Poor
,
and
a
Father
to
the
Faithful
,
and
a
Preserver
of
the
Upright
from
Unreasonable
Men
,
and
an
Easer
of
the
Oppressed
,
and
a
Taker
away
of
every
Oppressive
Bond
:
and
it
was
not
once
thought
concerning
thee
,
that
the
hands
of
the
Ungodly
would
have
been
strengthened
against
the
Righteous
under
thee
;
or
that
such
grievous
and
cruel
Burdens
and
Oppressions
would
ever
have
been
laid
upon
the
Just
,
and
acted
against
them
in
thy
Name
,
and
under
thy
Dominion
,
as
unrighteously
have
come
to
pass
in
these
three
years
,
as
a
large
Testimony
might
be
given
;
and
this
thy
suffering
of
such
things
is
thy
Transgression
,
and
thou
hast
not
requited
the
Lord
well
for
his
Goodness
unto
thee
;
nor
fulfilled
his
Will
in
suffering
that
to
be
done
under
thee
,
and
in
thy
Name
,
which
the
Lord
raised
thee
against
to
break
down
,
hadst
thou
been
faithful
to
the
end
.
Again
consider
,
and
let
it
move
on
thy
Heart
not
to
exalt
thy self
,
nor
to
be
high
minded
,
but
to
fear
continually
;
knowing
that
thou
standest
not
by
thy self
,
but
by
another
,
and
that
he
is
able
to
abase
thee
,
and
give
thee
into
the
will
of
thy
Enemies
,
whensoever
he
will
;
and
how
the
Lord
hath
preserved
thee
sometimes
wonderfully
,
and
doth
unto
this
day
,
from
the
murderous
Plots
,
and
crafty
Policy
of
evil
Men
,
who
seek
thy
evil
,
and
would
rejoyce
in
thy
fall
,
and
in
the
Desolation
of
thy
Family
and
Countries
,
how
have
they
,
and
do
they
lay
Snares
for
thy
Feet
,
that
thou
mayst
be
cut
off
from
amongst
men
,
and
dye
unhappily
,
and
be
accounted
Accursed
;
and
yet
to
this
day
he
hath
preserved
thee
and
been
near
thee
to
keep
thee
,
though
thou
hast
hardly
known
it
;
and
the
Lord's
end
is
love
to
thee
in
all
these
things
,
and
yet
a
little
longer
to
try
thee
,
and
that
thou
mightst
give
him
the
Glory
;
O
that
thy
Heart
were
opened
to
see
his
Hand
,
that
thou
mayst
live
unto
him
,
and
dye
in
him
in
Peace
:
and
beware
lest
Hardness
of
Heart
possess
thee
,
if
thou
slight
his
Love
,
and
so
be
shut
up
in
Darkness
,
and
given
to
the
Desires
of
thine
Enemies
,
and
left
to
the
Counsels
of
treacherous
Men
,
who
may
seek
to
exalt
thee
by
flattery
,
that
they
might
the
better
cast
thee
down
,
and
destroy
thee
,
and
blot
out
thy
Name
in
reproach
,
and
make
thy
Posterity
a
People
miserable
;
but
now
O
consider
,
and
let
it
enter
into
thy
Heart
,
for
thou
hast
not
answered
the
Lord
,
but
been
wanting
to
him
for
all
this
;
and
hast
chosen
thy
own
way
and
glory
,
rather
then
his
,
and
not
fulfilled
his
Counsel
in
raising
thee
;
for
the
Bonds
of
Cruelty
are
not
loosed
by
thee
,
and
the
Oppressed
are
not
altogether
set
free
;
neither
is
Oppression
taken
off
from
the
Back
of
the
Poor
;
nor
the
Laws
regulated
,
nor
the
liberty
of
pure
Consciences
altogether
allowed
:
but
these
Dominions
are
filled
with
cruel
Oppressions
,
and
the
Poor
groan
everywhere
under
their
heavy
Hand
of
Injustice
;
the
Needy
are
troden
down
under
Foot
,
and
the
Oppressed
cry
for
Deliverance
,
and
are
ready
to
faint
for
true
Justice
and
Judgement
;
the
Proud
exalts
himself
against
the
Poor
;
and
the
High-minded
and
Rebellious
contemns
the
Meek
of
the
Earth
;
the
Horn
of
the
Ungodly
is
exalted
over
the
Lord's
Heritage
,
and
they
that
are
departed
from
Iniquity
are
become
a
Prey
to
Oppressors
;
and
the
Cr●●●
hearted
deal
cruelly
with
the
Innocent
in
these
Nations
;
and
such
whom
the
Lord
hath
freed
in
their
Consciences
from
false
Worships
and
Teachers
,
and
from
the
Wayes
of
Sin
and
Death
,
are
made
Slaves
,
and
greedily
preyed
upon
by
unjust
men
through
casting
into
Prisons
,
and
Dungeons
,
and
unjust
Fines
,
and
Illegal
Proceedings
,
and
Beatings
and
Abusings
,
and
Woundings
and
Bruisings
,
hard
to
be
expressed
,
and
large
to
be
declared
;
even
the
Hands
of
the
People
over
whom
thou
art
set
to
rule
,
are
full
of
Blood
,
Merciless
and
Cruel
,
and
neither
fe●t
God
,
nor
are
subject
to
the
just
Rule
and
Government
of
Men
:
and
the
Mouthes
of
many
of
thy
subservant
Rulers
,
and
Governours
,
that
have
their
Power
from
thee
,
are
as
the
Teeth
of
young
Lions
,
and
the
Upright
and
H●rmless
are
devoured
,
and
made
a
Spoil
of
by
them
,
through
Policy
and
Oppression
,
both
in
their
Persons
,
and
Estates
;
if
I
perish
I
must
speak
the
Truth
;
my
life
is
not
dear
to
me
for
the
Truth
's
sake
;
many
who
should
have
judged
in
true
Justice
and
Righteousness
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
,
have
been
as
Bryars
and
Thorns
to
ensnare
and
pierce
the
just
Man
;
and
have
perverted
Judgement
,
and
●u●n●d
it
backward
,
and
Equity
hath
hardly
had
place
to
enter
;
most
of
the
Prisons
this
day
,
in
all
thy
Jurisdictions
,
have
and
doth
testifie
the
unjust
Judgement
,
and
the
great
Oppressions
and
Cruelties
of
some
in
Authority
,
who
have
used
,
or
rather
abused
thy
Name
,
and
made
it
a
Cloak
for
their
Hard-heartedness
:
O
my
Heart
is
troubled
,
and
my
Bowels
pained
at
the
remembrance
of
this
;
how
doth
the
Poor
cry
under
the
heavy
Hand
of
Oppression
,
and
the
Needy
lament
for
want
of
true
Judgement
,
and
the
Oppressed
groan
for
want
of
Deliverance
?
And
these
things
are
thought
upon
by
the
Lord
,
though
not
considered
by
thee
as
they
ought
to
be
:
and
because
of
this
will
he
arise
to
plead
the
Cause
of
the
Innocent
,
against
him
that
is
too
strong
for
him
,
and
will
dash
to
pieces
his
Enemies
,
and
break
the
Jaws
of
the
Devourers
,
and
the
Righteous
shall
not
alwayes
be
a
Prey
to
the
Teeth
of
the
Ungodly
.
O
Friend
,
when
wilt
thou
consider
the
Oppression
of
the
Poor
,
and
hearken
to
the
cry
of
the
Oppressed
within
thee
,
and
without
thee
,
when
shall
it
enter
into
thy
Heart
,
this
cause
of
the
unjust
Sufferings
of
the
Lord's
People
,
from
which
thou
canst
not
altogether
be
excused
?
for
it
is
acted
in
thy
Name
,
though
not
by
thee
.
O
let
thy
Ear
be
opened
unto
the
Cryes
of
the
Oppressed
in
the
Prisons
,
and
let
the
Cause
of
the
Innocent
come
before
thee
,
and
let
thy
heart
be
pierced
at
the
Consideration
of
these
things
,
which
are
come
to
pass
in
thy
day
,
contrary
to
the
expectations
of
many
;
and
see
if
it
be
not
contrary
to
thy
own
Promises
sometimes
vowed
by
thee
,
let
the
Light
of
Christ
in
thy
own
Conscience
answer
:
and
some
of
the
multitude
of
the
grievous
Oppressions
of
which
the
Land
is
full
,
have
been
laid
at
thy
Door
and
brought
unto
thee
,
but
scarcely
found
an
encrance
upon
thee
;
and
this
aggravates
the
Crime
of
of
thy
Transgression
,
in
that
thou
knowest
of
these
things
;
and
wonderful
is
it
to
consider
,
that
even
thou
with
whom
the
Power
of
the
Lord
hath
sometimes
been
,
should
now
suffer
that
people
,
with
whom
the
Power
of
the
Lord
is
,
to
be
persecuted
,
and
thy
name
to
be
a
cloak
for
it
;
how
many
in
all
parts
of
this
Nation
have
been
,
and
are
at
this
day
grievous
sufferers
under
cruel
bondage
concerning
Tythes
,
that
great
Abomination
and
Idol
,
and
cause
of
heavy
groanings
?
the
bodies
of
many
just
men
violently
surprized
,
and
cast
into
Goals
and
Prisons
unjustly
,
and
some
illegally
;
their
cruelly
suffering
the
loss
of
their
Liberties
,
and
the
enjoyments
of
their
Families
,
and
honest
Assemblies
;
and
others
have
their
Goods
spoiled
,
and
made
havock
upon
,
almost
to
the
ruin
of
Families
by
unreasonable
men
,
through
unjust
Judgment
and
cruel
dealings
of
some
in
Authority
for
so
much
unjustly
challenged
by
the
Priest
,
or
Impropriator
,
it
may
be
they
distress
five
times
so
much
,
to
the
great
shame
of
the
Government
of
a
Christian
Nation
;
as
may
appear
in
a
Book
called
,
The
Cry
of
the
Oppressed
;
and
how
many
are
ready
even
to
faint
under
the
hard
Oppression
of
maintaining
Hireling
Teachers
,
and
Idol-Temples
?
many
for
that
cause
being
unjust
Sufferers
in
Bodies
and
Estates
,
by
cruel
imprisoment
,
and
spoiling
of
Goods
:
the
very
cry
of
this
Oppression
reaches
unto
Heaven
against
thee
,
who
suffers
it
,
and
against
the
Idol-Shepherds
,
who
are
the
ground
of
it
,
who
make
a
prey
upon
Gods
Heritage
;
and
the
Lord
God
will
be
avenged
upon
them
,
and
they
and
their
Staff
shall
utterly
perish
:
wo
unto
them
,
and
to
the
Idol-Worships
of
which
the
Land
is
full
,
which
they
uphold
,
which
causes
the
hearts
of
the
Righteous
to
mourn
,
because
of
the
Seed
of
God
which
is
in
Captivity
under
them
;
again
,
many
are
unjust
and
wofull
Sufferers
,
because
they
cannot
swear
on
this
or
that
occasion
,
though
in
all
causes
they
speak
the
truth
,
and
do
obey
Christ's
Commands
,
even
such
are
trodden
upon
by
unjust
Fines
charged
upon
them
,
and
imposed
Oppressions
,
the
Example
of
which
never
went
before
,
many
parts
of
this
Land
is
witness
of
this
;
and
this
is
by
the
corruptness
of
some
that
bear
rule
under
thee
,
who
rule
not
for
God
as
they
ought
,
but
turns
the
Sword
of
Justice
,
and
doth
unjustly
thereby
,
and
grieves
the
Lord
,
and
dishonours
thee
;
Again
,
some
suffer
long
and
tedious
imprisonments
,
and
others
cruel
Stripes
and
Abuses
,
and
danger
of
life
many
times
from
wicked
men
,
for
reproving
Sin
and
crying
against
the
Abomination
of
the
Ti●●●
,
which
the
Scriptures
also
testifie
against
,
in
Streets
,
or
Temples
,
or
〈◊〉
Places
;
some
having
been
sent
to
Prison
,
taken
on
the
High-Way
,
and
no
〈◊〉
charged
against
them
;
and
others
committed
,
being
taken
out
of
Peaceable
Meetings
,
and
whipped
and
sent
to
Prison
without
transgression
of
any
Law
,
〈◊〉
or
unjust
,
wholly
through
the
Rage
and
Envy
of
the
Devil
,
and
such
who
have
perverted
Judgement
and
Justice
;
and
some
in
Prisons
have
suffered
superaboundantly
from
the
Hands
of
the
cruel
Goalers
,
and
their
Servants
,
by
Beatings
and
Threatnings
,
and
putting
Irons
on
them
,
and
not
suffering
any
of
their
Friends
to
visit
them
with
Necessaries
;
and
some
have
dyed
in
the
Prisons
,
whose
Lives
were
not
dear
to
them
,
whose
Blood
will
be
reckoned
on
account
against
thee
,
one
day
;
and
many
more
other
wayes
have
suffered
grievous
things
,
as
Banishments
out
of
Towns
,
and
Whipping

and
Stocking
,
and
grievous
unjust
Abuses
,
and
none
of
these
for
Evil-doing
,
but
for
Good
,
even
because
they
cannot
bow
to
the
Devil
,
but
are
redeemed
out
of
the
World
,
and
therefore
the
World
hates
them
;
and
some
have
suffered
hard
Cruelties
,
because
they
could
not
respect
Persons
,
and
bow
with
Hat
,
or
Knee
;
and
from
these
Cruelties
canst
thou
not
altogether
be
excused
in
the
sight
of
God
,
being
brought
forth
in
thy
Name
,
and
under
thy
Power
;
consider
Friend
,
and
be
awakened
to
true
Judgement
,
let
the
Lord
search
thy
Heart
,
and
lay
these
things
to
mind
,
that
thou
mayst
be
an
Instrument
to
remove
every
Burthen
,
and
mayst
at
last
fulfill
the
Will
of
God
;
are
they
nothing
to
thee
,
that
such
things
should
be
brought
forth
under
thee
?
O
,
be
awakned
,
be
awakened
,
and
now
seek
the
Lord's
Glory
,
and
not
thine
own
,
least
thou
perish
before
the
Lord
and
Men
;
nay
,
if
Men
would
give
thee

This
was

that
he

deny
to
be
made
King

that
was
in

this
Letter
was
written

Honour
,
and
high
Titles
,
and
princely
Thrones
,
take
it
not
;
for
that
which
would
exalt
and
honour
thee
in
the
World
,
would
betray
thee
to
the
World
,
and
cast
thee
down
in
the
sight
of
the
World
;
and
this
is
God's
Word
to
thee
:
what
!
shall
the
whole
Nation
be
perjured
Men
,
and
thou
the
cause
of
it
?
and
wilt
thou
transgress
by
building
again
that
which
thou
hast
destroyed
?
Then
shall
the
Lord
,
and
his
Light
,
in
every
Conscience
,
bear
witness
against
thee
;
let
it
not
be
,
but
deny
thy self
,
and
thou
wilt
find
the
Lord
honouring
thee
.
Give
heed
unto
my
Words
,
and
understand
my
Speech
,
Be
not
exalted
by
Man
,
lest
Man
betray
thee
;
the
Lord
give
thee
an
Understanding
in
this
,
and
guide
thee
in
his
Counsel
;
and
the
rather
above
all
things
,
let
thy
Heart
be
stirred
up
in
thee
for
the
Lord
:
For
now
is
he
setting
up
the
Dominion
of
his
Son
,
which
never
shall
have
an
End
,
and
thy
Dominion
must
bow
under
it
,
and
all
the
Dominions
of
the
Earth
,
or
else
be
confounded
and
broken
to
Pieces
:
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
is
revealing
,
and
thine
shall
be
vailed
before
it
;
and
the
Glory
of
all
Flesh
shall
fall
:
Therefore
strive
not
openly
nor
secretly
against
his
Way
;
for
it
shall
prosper
,
there
is
no
Enchantment
against
us
,
nor
any
formed
Weapon
that
can
prosper
;
knowest
thou
not
that
the
King
of
Righteousness
might
command
thousands
of
his
Saints
to
avenge
him
of
his
Adversaries
,
and
to
plead
his
Cause
against
the
Rebellious
?
All
Power
is
in
his
Hand
,
yea
,
and
the
Authority
and
Dominion
shall
be
in
the
Hands
of
his
Saints
,
and
every
one
that
exalts
himself
against
them
,
shall
be
brought
down
;
not
by
an
outward
Sowrd
,
or
might
of
Man
,
but
by
his
out-stretched
Arm
;
and
all
Crowns
that
are
Mortal
shall
be
troden
down
by
him
whose
Crown
is
Immortal
,
and
never
fades
away
:
Therefore
be
wise
and
learned
,
this
is
thy
day
;
as
thou
dealest
,
or
sufferest
to
be
done
with
the
Lord's
People
,
so
to
thee
it
shall
be
done
in
that
day
,
when
their
Government
shall
out-reach
thine
,
and
be
set
atop
of
it
;
as
thou
hopest
for
Mercy
from
the
Lord
,
when
his
Kingdom
conqueres
thee
and
thine
,
now
deal
favourably
and
relieve
the
Oppressed
;
boast
not
thy self
though
the
Lord
hath
used
thee
in
his
Hand
;
but
know
that
when
he
will
he
can
cast
thee
,
a
Rod
,
out
of
his
Hand
into
the
Fire
;
for
in
his
Hand
thou
art
,
if
thou
wilt
honour
him
,
he
will
honour
thee
,
otherwise
he
can
,
yea
and
will
confound
thee
and
break
thee
,
and
make
thee
weak
as
Water
before
him
;
his
Love
through
my
Heart
breaths
unto
thee
;
he
would
thy
happiness
,
if
thou
wilfully
contemn
it
not
by
exalting
thy self
,
and
seeking
thine
own
glory
,
and
hardning
thy
Heart
against
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
;
and
this
I
was
moved
in
bowels
of
pittiy
to
lay
before
thee
,
who
am
thy
Friend
,
not
in
Flattery
,
but
in
an
upright
Heart
,
who
wisheth
well
unto
thee
in
the

For
the
Hands
of
Oliver
Cromwell
called
Protector
.
FRIEND
,
I
am
moved
to
write
to
thee
,
from
the
occasion
of
being
with
thee
yesterday
,
and
I
take
liberty
from
the
true
love
and
pitty
stirred
up
in
my
Heart
towards
thee
,
who
am
thy
Friend
,
and
wisheth
well
unto
thee
in
the
Lord
;
even
that
Salvation
thou
mayest
receive
,
and
that
thy
way
may
be
blessed
upon
Earth
,
and
the
Fruits
of
the
Knowledge
of
God
might
more
abound
in
thee
,
and
the
Fruits
of
Ignorance
less
,
which
doth
appear
,
which
I
wish
might
be
cut
off
before
they
wholly
over-grow
thee
,
and
remove
the
Blessing
far
from
thee
in
this
life
,
and
in
the
life
to
come
,
and
bring
upon
thee
Destruction
;
for
the
Fruits
of
all
Unrighteousness
brings
Death
,
Sorrow
,
and
Misery
,
and
the
Light
of
Christ
in
thee
shall
answer
in
all
things
to
the
justness
of
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
.
Thou
sayest
in
effect
,
that
thou
wouldest
not
,
or
thou
desirest
not
our
Persecution
,
or
that
we
should
be
persecuted
by
Cruelty
,
or
unjust
Imprisonment
;
now
consider
what
the
cause
is
,
that
what
thou
desirest
not
to
be
done
,
yet
is
done
,
thou
having
power
in
thy
hand
onely
to
prevent
what
thou
wouldest
not
have
done
;
is
it
not
thine
own
unfaithfulness
to
the
Principle
of
God
in
thee
,
which
beareth
witness
against
the
Persecution
of
the
Innocent
?
Or
is
it
that
thou
mayest
please
men
,
and
therefore
rather
suffer
Wickedness
to
abound
,
Injustice
and
Oppression
to
be
acted
against
the
Poor
,
making
it
appear
thou
art
willing
to
do
the
false
Teachers
of
this
Nation
,
and
wicked
men
a
pleasure
,
then
to
own
the
People
of
God
in
relieving
them
,
and
●●sing
them
of
their
cruel
Burthens
and
Oppressions
laid
upon
them
by
unjust
men
;
for
a
word
of
thy
mouth
,
or
the
shew
of
thy
Countenance
in
dislike
of
these
cruel
and
unjust
Persecutions
,
would
bind
the
Hands
of
many
blood-thirsty
.
Men
,
and
stop
the
Mouthes
of
many
Devourers
:
and
therefore
because
of
thine
own
unfaithfulness
doth
that
come
to
pass
which
thou
desirest
not
.
And
so
I
must
needs
say
,
This
appears
to
be
evil
in
thee
,
to
say
,
In
effect
thou
approvest
not
,
or
thou
desirest
not
out
Persecution
,
and
yet
it
is
done
;
when
the
Power
is
in
thy
Hand
to
remove
it
:
and
this
in
much
love
and
great
pitty
I
declare
unto
thee
in
the
Fear
and
Counsel
of
God
.
Further
thou
sayest
,
Th●n
art
not
guilty
of
these
Persecutions
acted
unjustly
upon
us
.
Again
consider
,
I
say
,
Thou
canst
not
be
cleared
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
God
from
them
,
being
acted
under
thee
,
and
in
thy
Name
;
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
the
Light
in
thy
Conscience
shall
answer
this
;
for
there
seems
to
be
rather
a
favouring
of
them
in
thee
,
and
by
for
bearance
of
the
Actors
of
Cruelty
,
by
which
their
hands
are
strengthened
,
then
any
dislike
shewed
by
thee
in
bearing
thy
Witness
,
as
thou
oughtest
to
do
,
against
them
:
For
thou
knowest
of
some
〈◊〉
this
City
and
else-where
,
whom
we
know
to
be
just
Men
,
who
suffer
Impri●●●●●nt
and
the
loss
of
their
Liberties
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
can●●●
Swear
;
and
many
others
in
this
Nation
suffering
cruel
things
upon
the
like
,
or
same
ground
,
even
for
Well-doing
,
and
not
for
Evil
;
which
Oppression
might
be
removed
,
and
their
unjust
Sufferings
taken
off
by
thee
,
by
a
word
from
thy
Mouth
or
Pen
;
and
this
makes
thee
that
thou
canst
not
be
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
in
these
things
,
because
not
helped
by
thee
,
who
hath
the
Power
to
help
it
:
and
this
in
true
Love
I
give
thee
to
understand
,
in
the
Day
of
Recompence
shalt
thou
know
the
Lord
will
not
clear
thee
,
except
thou
repentest
,
and
●●sest
the
Oppressed
.
Other
things
thou
speakest
about
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
lighteneth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
with
the
Light
of
Life
,
or
with
the
Light
of
Condemnation
,
and
about
the
Ministry
of
this
Nation
,
wi●●
some
other
things
,
which
I
had
a
desire
to
have
answered
,
if
time
had
been
seasonable
,
and
thou
willing
to
have
heard
;
but
thou
shouldst
not
have
appeared
in
such
lightness
,
especially
when
speaking
of
the
Things
of
God
,
which
did
grieve
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
vex
the
Righteous
Soul
;
which
Behaviour
,
with
some
words
which
thou
utteredst
,
by
the
Light
of
Christ
is
to
be
condemned
,
and
which
I
do
judge
with
the
Life
of
God
,
and
yet
doth
tender
and
preserve
the
measure
of
Justness
and
Honesty
which
is
in
thee
;
but
thou
art
high
above
the
Principle
of
God
,
and
cannot
receive
the
Teachings
of
the
Father
into
that
mind
which
is
light
and
unstable
;
for
the
Counsel
of
God
is
manifest
to
the
Meek
and
the
Lowly
,
but
there
is
much
in
thee
to
be
judged
,
when
thou
comest
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
thee
.
And
as
concerning
the
Light
of
Christ
,
at
which
thou
stumblest
,
by
which
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
is
enlightened
;
in
short
,
this
I
say
,
The
Light
to
thee
is
given
of
God
,
and
it
must
thou
own
to
be
thy
onely
Teacher
,
to
receive
by
it
from
the
Father
,
and
to
be
guided
by
it
in
all
things
,
if
ever
thou
inheritest
God's
Kingdom
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
;
and
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
thee
.
And
as
concerning
the
Ministry
of
England
,
for
which
in
part
thou
seemest
to
plead
,
thus
I
say
in
Plainness
,
Generally
it
is
not
of
God
,
but
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
Lord
is
against
it
;
for
it
is
the
Ground
of
the
greatest
Oppression
of
the
Poor
in
its
Maintenance
,
as
any
one
particular
Abomination
which
this
day
is
in
the
Nation
,
and
this
is
the
Truth
from
the
Lord
;
and
if
thou
settest
thy self
to
uphold
them
,
by
any
Law
made
,
or
to
make
against
such
whom
God
hath
raised
to
bear
Witness
against
them
,
their
Wayes
,
and
Idolatries
,
thou
●●alt
fall
with
them
into
Perdition
,
and
be
overthrown
amongst
them
in
the
Just
and
Righteous
Judgments
;
and
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
thee
:
For
God
is
risen
of
a
Truth
to
make
War
against
the
Beast
which
long
hath
reigned
,
and
against
the
False
Prophets
which
have
long
deceived
the
World
;
and
I
warn
thee
,
with-hold
thy
hand
from
helping
them
,
if
thou
meanest
to
be
preserved
or
blessed
in
thy
Person
,
in
thy
Family
,
and
in
thy
Armies
;
for
,
as
I
said
to
thee
,
The
Kingdom
of
Christ
is
setting
up
by
his
own
Power
,
and
all
must
●ow
and
become
subject
thereunto
;
he
needeth
none
of
thy
Policy
,
nor
the
strength
of
thy
Arm
to
advance
him
;
yet
would
he
have
thee
not
to
prove
thy self
an
open
Enemy
thereof
,
by
doing
or
suffering
to
be
done
Cruelty
and
Injustice
against
them
whom
the
Lord
is
redeeming
out
of
this
World
into
subjection
unto
that
Kingdom
,
lest
thou
be
such
a
one
,
as
wilt
not
enter
thy self
,
nor
suffer
others
to
enter
,
and
so
Destruction
come
upon
thee
.
Wherefore
arise
as
out
of
Sleep
,
and
Slumber
not
in
this
World's
Glory
and
Honour
;
come
away
,
and
appear
for
the
Lord
,
rather
then
against
him
;
be
not
overcome
by
the
Pleasures
of
this
World
,
nor
the
Fattering
Titles
of
Men
;
win●
not
at
the
Cruelty
and
Oppression
acted
by
some
,
who
shelter
under
thee
,
and
make
thy
Name
a
Cloak
for
Mischief
against
the
Upright
,
but
let
the
Testimony
of
God
in
thee
answer
for
his
People
,
this
Law
is
not
just
by
which
many
suffer
,
because
they
cannot
swear
,
and
because
they
cannot
cease
to
declare
against
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
let
that
of
God
in
thee
bear
Witness
,
and
thou
and
thy
name
being
chief
in
the
Execution
of
this
Law
,
what
will
thy
account
be
to
the
Lord
in
his
Day
?
Consider
,
I
say
,
consider
,
and
be
thou
changed
in
thy
mind
and
heart
,
lest
thou
having
forgotten
God
,
and
his
many
Deliverances
,
be
shut
up
,
and
numbred
for
Destruction
:
and
I
say
,
and
desire
,
the
Lord
give
thee
a
more
perfect
Understanding
of
his
Wayes
and
Judgments
,
and
that
the
Crown
Immortal
thou
mayst
strive
for
,
by
Meekness
and
Righteousness
,
through
relieving
the
Oppressed
,
and
shewing
Mercy
to
the
Poor
,
and
removing
every
Burden
which
lies
upon
the
Innocent
;
and
this
is
the
Desire
of
him
who
is
thy
Friend
,
and
would
not
have
thee
crowned
with
Dishonour
,
through
suffering
the
People
of
God
to
be
oppressed
in
thy
Name
,
which
will
be
thy
Overthrow
absolutely
,
if
thou
removest
it
not
by
turning
and
easing
the
Oppressed

his
hands
about
the
beginning
of

Fourth
Moneth

For
the
hands
of
the
Protector
.
FRIEND
,
THou
oughtest
to
stand
in
the
Counsel
of
God
in
all
things
,
and
not
to
follow
the
Counsel
of
thy
own
heart
,
nor
to
act
things
in
thine
own
will
;
neither
shouldst
thou
suffer
others
to
act
under
thee
,
and
in
thy
name
,
that
which
is
Unjust
and
Unrighteous
:
Much
Unrighteousness
and
great
Oppression
is
acted
in
thy
name
,
by
which
the
good
name
(
PROTECTOR
)
is
abused
and
subverted
;
and
instead
of
Protection
by
it
,
great
Unjustice
is
acted
under
it
,
and
covered
with
it
:
and
this
one
thing
I
am
moved
to
lay
before
thee
,
which
hath
been
acted
by
thee
,
or
under
thee
,
not
without
thy
knowledge
,
in
which
thou
hast
;
done
Evil
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
one
day
thou
wilt
know
it
;
Several
in
these
Nations
,
Justices
of
the
Peace
,
and
other
Officers
,
who
have
been
in
trust
under
thee
,
when
they
have
owned
the
People
of
God
in
scorn
called
Quakers
,
have
been
cast
out
of
their
Places
,
though
they
have
not
denyed
to
serve
thee
and
the
Common-Wealth
,
neither
hath
Unfaithfulness
to
their
Trust
been
proved
against
them
;
and
also
,
several
Souldiers
now
of
late
in
Scotland
,
and
else-where
,
have
been
turned
out
of
their
Places
because
of
the
same
thing
(
viz.
)
For
owning
the
People
of
God
;
and
these
things
are
not
right
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
that
such
who
have
been
for
many
years
Faithful
in
the
Service
,
and
in
their
Trust
,
and
hazarded
Life
and
Liberty
for
Conscience
sake
,
to
enjoy
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
which
they
cannot
now
possess
because
of
thee
,
but
are
cast
out
for
the
Exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
;
this
Thing
the
Lord
is
grieved
with
,
and
with
thee
because
of
it
.
For
thou
didst
not
obtain
this
Victory
of
Peace
and
Freedom
by
thy
own
Sword
,
then
why
should
it
be
thus
improved
to
thy
own
Ends
?
Consider
of
it
,
for
this
makes
the
Nations
more
unhappy
and
less
blessed
,
when
such
who
delight
in
true
Justice
and
Judgment
are
cast
out
of
their
Places
,
and
so
deprived
of
giving
their
Judgment
among
men
;
and
absolutely
this
will
make
thy
Army
less
prosperous
,
and
more
unblessed
,
when
such
who
fear
the
Lord
,
and
against
whom
thou
canst
not
justly
charge
Evil
,
are
cast
out
,
and
despised
;
and
this
in
time
thou
mayst
see
to
thy
Sorrow
:
And
as
thy
Friend
I
●ay
this
before
thee
,
and
do
in
plainness
tell
thee
,
If
thou
thus
utterly
denyst
the
People
of
God
in
the
day
of
thy
Prosperity
,
and
thus
wholy
cast
them
out
of
thy
service
,
they
cannot
stand
by
thee
,
nor
own
thee
in
the
day
of
thy
Trouble
;
and
such
as
thou
cleavest
unto
may
be
a
broken
Staff
in
thy
time
of
need
.
Ah
Friend
!
these
things
do
shew
that
thy
heart
is
not
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
Justice
and
true
Judgment
,
Righteousness
and
Truth
is
even
despised
in
this
Land
,
and
not
sincerely
owned
by
thee
;
when
as
such
who
fear
the
Lord
are
thus
cast
out
of
Judicatories
in
thy
Government
,
and
out
of
Defence
in
thy
Armies
:
What!
is
this
the
end
of
that
long
travel
in
Wars
,
and
of
so
many
fair
Promises
of
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
that
just
Men
should
thus
be
dealt
withal
?
The
Heathen
Kingdoms
may
Mock
at
this
,
that
while
some
have
pretended
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
are
become
Persecutors
of
such
whose
Consciences
are
justly
exercised
:
and
as
I
have
sometime
said
to
thee
,
much
Injustice
,
and
great
Oppressions
,
and
cruel
Persecutions
continue
daily
to
be
acted
in
thy
name
,
which
is
numbred
up
against
thee
upon
account
,
because
of
hiding
thy
Face
from
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
,
as
one
without
Bowels
of
Compassion
unto
such
who
have
truly
served
with
thee
in
a
faithful
Service
for
the
Common-Wealth
,
who
many
of
them
now
are
grievous
Sufferers
under
thee
.
Consider
of
these
things
,
and
search
what
will
be
the
End
of
them
;
the
Lord
open
thy
Understanding
,
that
more
of
the
Wisdom
of
God
may
guide
thee
,
and
less
of
the
policy
and
wisdom
of
Man
,
which
will
betray
thee
of
God's
Kingdom
,
and
may
in
the
end
cast
thee
down
in
this
World
also
.

FRIEND
,
IT
is
upon
me
,
and
also
I
am
pressed
in
spirit
thereunto
,
to
give
thee
,
even
unto
thee
Oliver
Protector
,
the
perfect
measure
of
thy
Dominions
,
and
how
they
stand
in
relation
to
thee
,
as
concerning
the
Affections
of
the
people
towards
thee
,
whereby
thou
mayst
understand
thy
own
Condition
,
and
the
state
of
thy
Government
,
as
I
have
viewed
it
in
true
Judgment
,
and
marked
it
upon
serious
consideration
;
and
what
I
write
is
in
perfect
Love
unto
thee
,
however
thou
mayst
judge
of
it
,
and
of
these
things
,
it
will
be
well
f●●
thee
to
consider
,
now
while
it
is
time
,
ere
it
be
too
late
.
Many
Enemies
thou
hast
,
which
watch
over
thee
for
Evil
,
and
not
for
Good
,
who
would
Rejoyce
in
thy
Overthrow
:
And
first
,
There
are
a
People
scattered
through
all
these
Nations
,
who
are
full
of
Wrath
and
ravening
Envy
towards
thee
,
in
whose
hearts
to
this
day
there
is
continual
Hatred
,
and
evil
Surmi●●ng
lodgeth
against
thee
and
all
thy
Off-Spring
;
and
I
believe
(
without
any
further
knowledge
)
that
daily
Advantage
they
seek
against
thee
,
by
subtil
Conspiracies
and
secret
Plottings
of
Maliciousness
in
their
Hearts
,
seeking
by
all
means
,
if
it
be
possible
,
how
to
be
revenged
,
and
not
slipping
any
Advantage
how
to
revenge
themselves
,
and
promote
their
Cause
;
and
of
these
scattered
under
thy
Goverment
are
not
a
few
,
but
rather
the
greater
number
,
who
thus
stand
in
Affections
to
thee
,
with
no
better
purpose
of
good
towards
thee
,
then
to
destroy
thee
by
any
means
,
if
it
were
in
their
power
,
and
to
take
away
thy
name
in
Reproach
;
such
is
the
Cruelty
and
Desperateness
of
some
of
them
,
their
own
lives
are
not
dear
unto
them
,
to
take
away
thine
;
I
have
felt
the
strength
of
their
Rage
against
thee
,
which
carries
them
above
sence
,
or
fear
to
fore-go
any
Danger
,
that
they
might
see
their
desired
End
of
thee
:
Their
Malice
towards
thee
is
so
seated
in
their
wrathful
Hearts
,
that
it
cannot
easily
be
quenched
;
I
know
the
Lord
hath
blasted
them
and
their
endeavours
to
this
day
,
and
thou
hast
had
Dominion
and
Power
given
thee
of
God
to
bruise
,
and
to
break
them
to
pieces
;
for
because
of
the
Wickedness
of
that
Generation
,
which
was
grown
to
the
full
,
did
the
Lord
raise
thee
up
as
a
Plague
upon
them
,
because
of
their
Unrighteousness
,
Oppression
and
Tyranny
,
and
they
were
made
as
Slaves
and
Bondmen
under
thy
Power
;
and
without
the
Lord
can
they
not
at
any
time
do
any
thing
against
thee
:
but
what
and
if
for
thy
Wickedness
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
he
should
make
them
Instruments
in
his
hand
to
accomplish
his
Wrath
upon
thee
,
even
like
as
he
made
thee
once
his
Instrument
to
overthrow
them
;
and
such
hath
been
the
Lord's
Doings
,
even
to
overthrow
his
Enemies
one
by
the
other
,
and
to
use
the
Wicked
as
a
Rod
in
his
hand
,
to
break
them
one
against
another
like
Potsherds
:
and
by
that
which
comes
to
pass
in
these
Nations
,
thou
seemest
no
less
then
to
tread
in
their
steps
,
and
in
a
measure
already
goest
on
in
their
way
,
in
Oppressing
(
through
Tyranny
,
or
suffering
it
)
the
People
of
God
,
whose
Cause
the
Lord
will
assuredly
plead
against
thee
one
day
,
who
now
suffer
under
thee
in
Patience
:
and
who
can
tell
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
,
or
what
he
may
bring
to
pass
concerning
this
thing
,
in
raising
up
the
Wicked
to
be
a
Plague
to
Wickedness
,
and
in
suffering
the
Oppressors
to
overthrow
Oppressions
?
This
is
by
me
in
Love
to
thee
in
sincerity
declared
,
and
by
thee
with
Soberness
and
in
the
Fear
of
God
it
is
to
be
considered
.
Again
,
there
is
another
People
scattered
through
all
these
Dominions
,
who
are
not
thy
Friends
,
nor
Wishers
well
unto
thee
or
thy
Government
,
who
secretly
murmer
against
thee
,
and
envy
thee
,
and
even
seek
God
against
thee
and
thy
Government
,
which
they
judge
to
be
not
according
to
God
;
and
bow
not
to
it
in
Love
,
though
they
are
forced
to
submit
for
a
time
,
hoping
continually
,
if
not
hatching
,
other
wayes
of
Rule
and
Government
,
to
the
overthrow
of
thee
and
thine
;
and
these
are
more
Honest
,
and
Upright
,
and
Just
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
then
the
former
;
and
indeed
they
are
not
,
nor
their
Purposes
accursed
of
the
Lord
;
for
many
of
them
have
been
Sufferers
,
and
faithfully
served
their
Nation
with
perfect
purpose
of
Freedom
to
the
Lord's
People
,
and
they
have
at
this
day
this
perfect
Zeal
for
God
,
and
for
his
Wayes
,
though
not
altogether
according
to
Knowledge
,
yet
some
of
them
are
not
far
from
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
though
they
seek
it
not
wholly
in
the
right
Way
,
nor
look
onely
with
a
single
Eye
;
yet
doth
not
the
Lord
hate
them
altogether
because
of
their
Integrity
towards
him
,
and
Zeal
for
him
;
who
some
of
them
have
suffered
Imprisonment
for
Truth
and
Righteousness
sake
,
as
they
have
wholly
thought
,
and
their
Sufferings
have
not
been
altogether
slighted
by
the
Lord
,
and
these
are
they
known
by
Name
of
the
Fifth
Monarchy
,
of
whom
there
are
more
then
a
few
with
them
,
that
wish
well
unto
them
,
who
will
rise
up
for
them
,
rather
then
for
thee
,
many
of
whom
propound
well
in
their
minds
,
though
they
have
not
power
to
effect
it
;
because
their
intent
is
not
altogether
according
to
the
Lord
,
yet
are
many
of
them
free
from
that
whereof
thy self
is
guilty
,
and
some
of
them
are
cast
out
,
and
wholy
rejected
without
any
just
Cause
,
as
they
suppose
;
and
these
things
have
grieved
their
spirits
,
and
not
only
kindled
their
Rage
and
Envy
,
but
moved
their
Sincerity
and
Honesty
against
thee
;
wherefore
they
are
not
thy
Friends
,
but
rather
thy
Enemies
;
and
would
not
stand
by
thee
,
or
with
thee
in
thy
need
,
but
rather
(
I
suppose
)
would
arm
themselves
against
thee
and
thy
Power
;
who
highly
charge
thee
(
as
they
suppose
,
justly
too
)
with
Unfaithfulness
,
and
such
like
;
for
they
see
,
that
is
not
accomplished
which
hath
been
promised
by
thee
,
but
the
contrary
,
even
one
Finger
is
become
as
heavy
as
was
once
the
Loyns
;
and
their
spirits
are
grieved
against
thee
for
such
Causes
:
and
who
knoweth
but
that
the
Lord
may
take
the
occasion
to
try
thee
and
prove
thee
by
them
?
for
their
Hearts
are
high
against
thee
and
thy
Government
,
and
that
upon
good
Ground
,
as
they
sincerely
think
.
Again
,
There
is
through
thy
Dominions
a
People
gathered
,
and
gathering
daily
by
Multitudes
,
who
are
called
and
chosen
of
him
,
and
faithful
to
him
,
who
have
owned
him
above
all
things
,
and
whom
he
hath
owned
,
and
will
own
in
the
sight
of
the
whole
World
,
and
will
encrease
them
to
a
Numberless
Number
,
according
to
his
Promise
;
and
even
those
the
Lord
is
making
many
,
who
are
redeeming
out
of
the
World
,
into
the
Government
and
Kingdom
of
Jesus
Christ
;
and
these
thou
knowest
are
great
and
grievous
Sufferers
,
by
many
hard
and
cruel
Oppressions
,
from
those
who
are
in
Authority
in
thy
Government
,
even
unjust
Imprisonment
,
and
Fines
,
and
burdensome
Taxations
,
in
many
things
hard
to
be
expressed
;
and
they
undergo
grievous
Persecutions
under
thy
Government
,
and
wholy
Unjustly
in
the
sight
of
God
;
and
also
,
are
cast
out
of
all
Power
and
Place
in
it
,
and
almost
out
of
all
Subjects-Priviledge
too
;
many
of
them
being
counted
as
vile
amongst
men
,
though
they
are
not
so
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
;
Justice
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
true
Judgment
they
cannot
have
in
all
these
Nations
,
not
from
thy self
,
nor
Sub-servant
Judges
,
of
whom
hardly
can
their
Cause
be
heard
;
but
are
deprived
of
their
proper
Right
,
and
of
Subjects-Freedom
in
Judicatories
,
and
exposed
to
all
Wrong
that
may
be
by
Unjust
Men
,
through
Unjust
Judgment
;
and
these
things
are
not
unknown
to
thee
,
and
therefore
art
thou
inexcusable
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
guilty
of
their
Sufferings
in
his
Presence
,
who
hath
Power
to
prevent
it
,
but
doth
it
not
;
and
these
thus
suffering
in
thy
Goverment
,
and
under
it
,
how
can
they
stand
for
thee
and
thy
Government
,
or
out
of
pure
Love
be
subject
thereunto
;
though
,
be
it
known
to
thee
,
that
we
(
the
People
of
God
)
do
not
envy
thy
Person
or
Government
in
the
least
,
neither
have
Purpose
of
seeking
Advantage
against
thee
,
or
it
,
to
hurt
or
betray
you
,
by
secret
Plotting
,
or
turbulent
Arising
,
as
others
may
;
yet
Friend
,
the
want
of
our
Prayers
to
God
for
thee
,
is
worse
to
thee
then
the
secret
Plotting
of
all
Wicked
Men.
And
how
can
we
mention
thee
in
our
Prayers
to
God
,
except
it
be
to
be
delivered
from
thee
,
who
are
daily
cruel
and
unjust
Sufferers
by
thee
,
or
because
of
thee
,
as
I
have
said
?
Or
how
can
we
be
Friends
to
that
Government
,
or
subject
to
obey
that
Power
under
which
we
daily
suffer
such
hard
and
cruel
things
,
as
the
loss
of
our
Liberty
and
Estates
,
and
danger
of
Life
also
?
Let
that
Light
in
thy
own
Conscience
judge
;
though
for
all
these
things
,
we
do
rather
pitty
thee
,
and
desire
thy
Repentance
,
then
Conspire
against
thee
,
or
wish
thy
Destruction
;
yet
oughtest
thou
to
consider
of
these
things
with
a
humble
Heart
,
and
what
a
Condition
thou
art
in
,
who
art
hated
of
the
Wicked
with
a
deadly
Hatred
,
and
not
loved
of
the
Saints
,
because
thou
lovest
not
the
Lord
:
Also
it
might
make
thy
Heart
to
tremble
,
to
consider
how
that
thy
Dominions
are
thus
divided
,
and
the
Affections
of
the
People
thus
dis-united
,
and
few
of
them
thy
real
Friends
;
some
having
real
Offence
given
by
thee
,
wherefore
they
are
forced
to
loath
that
Government
which
is
unjust
;
and
others
verily
supposing
of
great
Wrong
sustained
from
thee
,
wherefore
they
are
turned
against
thee
.
Moreover
,
and
besides
all
this
,
greatly
it
may
be
suspected
,
that
even
they
in
whom
thou
dost
repose
confidence
,
who
seem
to
cleave
unto
thee
,
may
not
be
altogether
true
unto
thee
,
though
in
appearance
subject
,
yet
may
have
secret
Hypocrisie
,
&
hatching
of
evil
in
their
minds
,
if
it
were
possible
to
uncover
thy
Nakedness
;
and
some
others
also
there
may
be
,
who
may
make
use
of
Places
under
thee
,
which
may
have
no
more
Affection
to
thee
,
nor
Service
for
thee
,
then
while
their
own
Ends
of
great
Advantage
are
served
under
thee
,
by
their
subjection
to
thy
Government
:
And
now
Friend
,
these
things
being
justly
considered
,
and
viewed
by
thee
in
Righteousness
,
how
are
thy
Dominions
as
a
broken
Vessel
that
cannot
easily
be
bound
up
,
and
as
a
bruised
Reed
not
to
be
confided
in
by
thee
?
and
these
several
sorts
of
people
being
substracted
out
of
the
whole
,
how
few
is
it
that
thou
wilt
find
that
are
thy
Real
and
Faithful
Friends
,
who
may
stand
by
thee
in
a
needful
time
?
Some
out
of
Envy
cannot
be
subject
to
thee
,
and
others
for
the
Fear
of
the
Lord's
sake
,
cannot
own
thee
in
such
a
Government
,
whereby
he
Just
suffer
,
even
all
men
are
ready
to
stand
a
far
off
from
thee
;
and
because
thou
hast
denyed
the
People
of
God
,
therefore
cannot
he
be
thy
Trust
:
and
verily
thy
state
,
and
the
state
of
thy
Dominions
,
are
truly
to
be
lamented
;
thou
hast
so
much
sought
thy self
,
that
thou
hast
lost
almost
all
people
,
and
their
Affections
;
every
one
judging
themselves
to
be
the
greatest
Sufferers
under
thee
.
Ah
consider
!
for
thou
art
but
the
Head
of
a
Disjoynted
Body
,
which
may
not
easily
be
bound
up
to
thee
;
and
thou
art
lost
for
lack
of
true
Knowledge
;
for
the
Lord
hath
done
many
thing
for
thee
,
though
thou
hast
not
known
it
altogether
,
much
less
then
knowest
thou
of
those
things
which
are
Eternal
;
which
belong
to
thy
Peace
;
it
shews
thou
ownest
not
the
Lord
,
who
cannot
own
his
People
,
but
rather
countest
them
thy
Enemies
,
and
sufferest
all
Evil
to
be
inflicted
upon
them
;
and
this
is
the
greatest
of
thy
Misery
,
in
that
the
Lord
hath
been
so
good
unto
thee
,
and
thy
Promises
so
large
towards
him
for
the
Feeedom
of
his
People
,
&
yet
all
forgot
,
and
the
Lord's
Goodness
not
answered
,
and
his
People
made
as
Slaves
and
Bond-men
under
thee
,
suffering
the
loss
of
Liberty
,
and
even
their
,
Birth-right-Priviledge
in
many
parts
of
these
Nations
:
wherefore
be
awakened
,
O
man
,
and
sleep
not
totally
in
Carelesness
,
but
remember
thy self
,
either
to
perform
the
Good
,
or
at
least
to
escape
the
Evil
,
which
may
suddenly
come
upon
thee
.
And
this
I
have
written
to
thee
out
of
perfect
Love
,
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
without
the
Fear
of
any
man
,
or
without
any
secret
or
open
envying
of
thee
;
couldst
thou
but
own
the
Lord
,
he
would
be
thy
strength
to
forgive
all
thy
Iniquities
;
and
blot
out
thy
Sin
,
and
to
defend
thee
from
all
thy
Enemies
;
and
above
all
things
,
Love
Iudgment
,
Mercy
and
Truth
,
and
fear
before
the
Lord
,
and
let
not
his
People
be
thy
Bond-slaves
,
who
are
more
dear
unto
the
Lord
then
all
Earthly
glory
is
unto
thee
;
and
if
thou
couldst
own
them
,
they
would
own
thee
in
the
Face
of
all
thine
Enemies
:
many
times
hast
thou
been
warned
,
and
that
from
the
Lord
,
and
thou
shalt
confess
it
when
the
Lord's
hand
is
upon
thee
,
and
thou
delivered
into
the
Will
of
thy
Enemies
.
Remember
that
I
have
told
thee
what
the
Lord
hath
shewed
me
;
happy
art
thou
if
thou
canst
receive
it
,
that
Peace
may
be
unto
thee
,
and
not
War
,
Salvation
,
and
not
Condemnation
,
Renown
,
and
not
Dishonour
,
which
waits
for
thee
,
except
thou
turnst
to
the
Lord
.

Moneth

1657.
To
the
Protector
and
Council
.
A
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
you
a
Friend
,
wisheth
Grace
and
Wisdom
,
the
Spirit
of
sound
Iudgment
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
God
unto
you
;
that
in
all
thing
;
True
Justice
and
Righteous
Judgment
may
be
brought
forth
and
abound
unto
all
people
,
that
you
may
be
more
Honourable
,
and
may
be
made
a
Blessing
to
your selves
and
this
Nation
,
and
to
Generations
after
you
:
But
alas
,
my
Friends
!
how
long
shall
Justice
and
true
Judgment
be
neglected
,
and
the
Innocent
deeply
groan
for
want
thereof
?
How
long
shall
it
be
ere
the
distres●●d
Cry
of
the
unjustly
Afflicted
enters
into
your
hearts
?
I
say
,
when
shall
your
Ear
be
bowed
down
to
hearken
to
,
&
consider
of
the
guiltless
cause
of
many
of
the
faithful
Subjects
,
who
lie
deeply
afflicted
through
this
Nation
,
some
under
one
cruel
Bond
of
Oppression
,
and
some
under
another
,
being
most
unjustly
and
wickedly
imposed
upon
them
by
Cruel
Men
,
who
pervert
Justice
,
and
turn
true
Judgment
backwards
;
and
neither
Fear
God
,
nor
Regard
Men
;
but
contrary
to
Justice
and
the
good
Laws
of
this
Land
,
as
men
without
Reason
and
Natural
Affections
to
Mankind
,
do
act
most
illegally
,
to
the
grievous
Oppression
of
many
approved
and
faithful
Subjects
,
and
the
true
Knowledge
and
Consideration
hereof
is
enough
to
pierce
the
hardest
Heart
,
and
to
vex
the
most
patient
Mind
;
and
undoubtedly
the
●…ce
Anger
of
the
Lord
is
greatly
kindled
because
of
these
things
,
and
even
against
your
Forbearance
,
who
seem
to
take
little
notice
of
such
Cruelties
and
injustice
when
they
are
laid
before
you
;
for
you
do
not
relieve
the
Oppressed
,
neither
〈◊〉
remove
Oppressors
,
as
you
ought
to
do
,
and
as
the
Lord
requires
of
you
:
What
,
hath
the
aboundance
of
this
World's
glory
,
and
its
treasure
,
quite
overcome
and
stolen
away
your
hearts
wholy
from
all
sence
and
feeling
of
the
unjust
Sufferings
of
your
Brethren
,
who
have
in
times
past
,
as
faithfully
as
your selves
,
served
their
Nation
with
their
Lives
and
Estates
,
to
the
purchasing
of
this
Peace
and
Freedom
out
of
the
hands
of
.
Opposers
;
and
such
may
now
justly
claim
the
benefit
of
this
Peace
and
Freedom
,
and
to
have
a
part
with
you
therein
,
even
by
Birth-right
and
by
Purchase
,
and
also
by
Promise
from
some
of
your selves
:
But
alas
!
while
they
have
waited
for
it
,
and
thought
peaceably
to
enjoy
the
same
under
you
,
are
many
of
them
entrapped
into
as
great
Bondage
as
ever
,
if
not
more
woful
and
unjust
;
and
they
are
unjustly
imprisoned
,
and
unreasonably
fined
,
and
every
way
oppressively
dealt
withal
,
and
are
even
spoiled
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
and
their
lives
often
in
danger
,
being
through
great
Injustice
become
a
Prey
to
their
very
Enemies
,
who
now
take
occasion
to
revenge
their
former
Cause
,
because
of
their
Faithfulness
for
the
Common-wealth
against
them
;
and
all
this
is
done
while
you
look
on
,
and
no
way
shewing
your
dislike
to
these
things
,
which
strengthens
greatly
the
hands
of
Evil-doers
,
to
add
to
the
Bonds
of
the
Afflicted
,
yet
are
you
without
excuse
;
for
you
are
not
wholy
ignorant
of
these
things
,
for
the
knowledg
of
them
has
often
bin
laid
at
your
doors
;
yea
,
and
the
very
Cry
of
these
Oppressions
and
Cruelties
reach
through
the
whole
Land
,
to
the
wounding
deeply
of
all
people
that
fear
God
,
to
know
so
great
Injustice
and
Oppression
brought
forth
upon
the
●●nocent
and
faithful
People
,
by
some
so
far
entrusted
as
having
the
Law
com●itted
to
them
,
which
they
pervert
,
and
turn
Judgment
backwards
;
and
the
greater
is
the
Wound
,
because
you
,
who
have
power
to
stop
and
prevent
these
things
,
should
have
no
more
regard
to
set
at
liberty
the
unjust
Sufferers
,
and
to
●●der
Judgment
upon
those
as
thus
pervert
true
Justice
,
by
whom
the
Land
is
filled
with
Violence
,
whereby
the
Name
of
the
Lord
is
greatly
dishonoured
,
and
the
Government
greatly
reproached
in
many
parts
of
the
World
;
why
?
because
the
faithful
Subjects
cannot
enjoy
their
Birth-right-Priviledge
as
they
ought
,
according
to
the
Law
of
God
and
man
;
for
their
Equals
,
yea
,
their
Inferiors
have
exalted
themselves
above
,
and
are
become
Oppressors
of
the
Free-born
People
:
and
divers
ways
do
these
hainous
Oppressions
and
Cruelties
abound
upon
the
Innocent
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
,
but
for
the
exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
towards
God
;
for
many
have
been
taken
travelling
on
the
High-way
,
and
some
out
of
peaceable
Meetings
,
and
out
of
their
Inns
and
Friends
Houses
,
and
by
some
wicked
men
in
Authority
,
without
shewing
just
Cause
therefore
,
have
just
Men
been
whipped
,
or
stocked
,
or
imprisoned
,
or
other
Cruelties
done
unto
them
,
and
yet
the
transgression
of
no
just
Law
truly
charged
against
them
,
neither
have
been
convicted
of
any
Evil-doing
;
but
they
have
suffered
wholy
Innoc●●tly
,
only
through
the
Malice
,
and
Will
,
and
Pleasure
of
their
Enemies
,
who
have
taken
occasion
,
wihhout
any
just
Offence
at
all
,
to
stock
,
and
whip
and
imprison
many
of
the
true
and
faithful
Subjects
;
and
this
hath
not
been
done
in
secret
,
but
openly
,
in
many
parts
of
this
Nation
;
and
you
have
had
Information
of
these
things
that
you
should
have
bin
awakened
to
true
Iustice
and
Iudg●●●●
;
and
this
the
Lord
requires
of
you
,
though
the
guiltless
Sufferers
have
born
all
these
things
without
complaining
,
yet
ought
you
to
have
judged
justly
,
according
to
their
deeds
,
such
as
caused
such
Cruelty
and
unjust
Sufferings
,
that
for
time
to
come
the
like
might
not
have
been
brought
forth
;
but
the
free
Subjects
might
live
in
Peace
,
and
Rejoyce
under
the
Government
,
and
all
Perver●ers
of
Iudgment
and
Iustice
might
stand
in
awe
,
and
be
afraid
;
so
should
you
be
a
Pra●se
to
Ages
after
you
:
And
likewise
many
,
who
are
at
this
present
remaining
in
Prisons
in
divers
parts
of
this
Land
,
some
upon
one
false
Accusation
and
evil
Surmising
,
and
some
upon
another
,
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
;
the
Cause
of
whom
hath
often
been
laid
before
you
,
which
seemed
for
the
present
to
have
some
entrance
upon
you
,
yet
little
is
brought
forth
by
you
,
as
ought
to
be
in
that
cause
;
for
though
none
of
any
such
do
complain
unto
you
,
who
have
and
do
unjustly
suffer
,
yet
the
Lord
doth
require
you
to
set
the
Oppressed
and
Falsly-Imprisoned
at
Liberty
,
and
to
bring
true
Judgment
forth
upon
their
Persecutors
.
Also
,
There
is
another
Suffering
great
and
grievous
,
growing
upon
many
,
if
it
be
not
prevented
;
Many
faithful
and
approved
Men
are
dispossessed
of
their
Freedom
,
which
truly
belongeth
to
them
by
the
Law
of
God
and
man
,
in
divers
Cities
and
Corporations
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
Swear
,
by
kissing
the
Book
,
and
laying
the
hand
upon
it
,
according
to
the
vain
Tradition
in
such
Causes
formerly
used
;
though
to
deal
justly
towards
God
and
man
in
their
Craft
and
Science
they
are
bound
by
the
Law
of
God
;
yet
because
they
will
not
Swear
,
and
so
break
Christ's
Commands
,
are
they
threatned
,
and
their
Windows
shut
up
,
and
dispriviledged
of
their
Trading
,
whereby
they
should
maintain
themselves
and
Families
in
the
Creation
;
and
this
one
thing
tendeth
to
the
Destruction
of
many
,
as
in
this
World
,
and
no
little
hurt
will
thereby
grow
to
the
whole
Nation
in
a
Generation
of
time
;
and
it
is
required
of
you
by
the
Lord
to
prevent
these
Sufferings
,
though
many
can
fore-go
their
own
Freedom
in
this
World
,
and
their
Lives
also
,
rather
then
break
the
least
Command
of
Christ
:
and
thus
are
many
faithful
People
made
a
very
Prey
to
their
Enemies
,
and
in
divers
manners
it
is
brought
forth
upon
them
.
For
many
also
suffer
deeply
in
the
House
of
Correction
for
reproving
Sin
,
and
others
are
grievously
spoiled
in
their
Estates
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
pay
to
maintain
a
professed
Minister
,
or
uphold
a
Steeple-house
;
for
it
is
a
common
thing
,
for
a
Priest
to
take
(
or
have
it
done
)
Four
or
Five
times
so
much
by
Distress
,
as
any
way
he
can
prove
a
pretended
Due
.
And
many
other
Sufferings
there
are
,
which
are
only
for
Conscience
sake
,
as
because
some
cannot
put
off
a
Hat
to
a
Magistrate
,
or
the
like
;
which
give
an
ill
savour
to
the
Government
in
which
they
are
acted
without
Reproof
.
Ah
my
Friends
!
Be
awakened
to
Justice
and
true
Judgment
,
to
relieve
such
unjust
Sufferers
,
and
to
throw
down
all
such
hainous
Oppressions
and
Oppressors
,
that
the
Lord
may
yet
make
you
and
your
Government
blessed
,
after
his
Long-suffering
to
you
,
which
hath
been
great
;
for
Justice
and
true
Judgment
in
a
Government
is
the
Happiness
thereof
,
and
the
Foundation
for
a
long
continuance
;
and
on
the
contrary
,
Cruelty
,
and
Injustice
,
and
Oppression
being
brought
forth
,
the
more
is
the
Government
unhappy
and
accursed
,
and
the
sooner
will
the
Lord
overthrow
it
,
and
bring
it
to
a
desolate
End
:
And
therefore
my
Friends
,
let
this
great
Enemy
to
your
Persons
,
Government
,
and
whole
Nation
,
to
wit
,
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
,
be
speedily
removed
,
lest
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
break
forth
against
you
,
and
repentance
be
too
late
;
for
this
know
,
In
all
Ages
the
Lord
stretched
forth
his
Hand
,
and
in
his
time
he
quickly
avenged
himself
for
his
People's
sake
,
after
their
Innocent
Sufferings
,
born
by
them
for
a
season
;
and
he
is
the
same
,
and
changeth
not
,
and
the
same
will
he
bring
to
pass
.
Therefore
I
say
again
,
Be
awakened
,
and
let
that
deadly
Enemy
be
removed
out
of
the
Land
,
as
you
tender
your
own
Safety
and
Honour
,
and
the
Glory
of
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
People's
Peace
,
even
this
very
Enemy
,
to
wit
,
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
;
for
it
doth
and
will
obstruct
all
your
good
Purposes
at
Home
and
Abroad
,
it
eats
away
the
Affections
of
all
good
People
from
you
,
and
it
eats
out
your
Strength
and
Valour
,
and
it
consumes
the
Weakness
of
all
your
Enemies
;
verily
,
it
is
an
Enemy
that
will
work
your
Destruction
speedily
,
both
in
this
World
and
in
the
World
to
come
;
that
of
God
in
you
all
shall
witness
me
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
.
I
am
your
Friend
,
and
these
things
do
I
write
as
a
Friend
unto
you
,
as
to
warn
you
of
that
secret
enemy
,
so
much
reigning
and
rebelling
in
this
Nation
,
which
indeed
may
work
a
greater
Destruction
upon
you
then
any
forreign
Invader
,
and
this
in
time
you
may
witness
to
your
Grief
and
Sorrow
,
If
something
by
you
be
not
done
to
suppress
it
;
all
health
and
peace
I
wish
unto
you
in
the
Lord
;
and
thus
far
am
I
clear
from
the
blood
of
you
,
and
all
men
,
come
life
or
death
.

The
several
Coppies
of
this
were
delivered
to
Oliver
and
his
Counsel
,
in
the
12th
.
Moneth
,
in
the
year
1657.
To
the
Protector
.
Friend
,
THe
Salutation
of
my
life
wisheth
well
unto
thee
in
the
Lord
,
and
most
especially
that
thy
precious
Soul
may
be
redeemed
out
of
death
,
to
God
,
and
live
,
that
thou
mayst
have
a
Rest
and
Habitation
in
him
,
when
this
World
is
no
more
.
Now
whereas
it
is
a
general
out-cry
among
the
Teachers
and
People
of
this
Nation
,
and
also
is
doubted
,
and
hath
been
sometimes
objected
by
thy self
,
That
the
People
called
Quakers
are
Deluded
and
Deceived
,
and
in
Error
,
and
such
like
:
And
now
(
if
it
be
possible
)
that
thy self
and
others
may
be
resolved
concernus
;
put
therefore
all
thy
Objections
and
Doubting
into
plain
Positions
,
or
let
the
wisest
of
thy
Teachers
do
it
for
thee
;
and
whatsoever
thy self
,
or
any
for
thee
can
object
against
us
;
or
what
thou
doubtest
of
,
or
stumblest
at
,
either
in
respect
of
our
Doctrines
or
Practice
,
let
the
matter
be
stated
in
plain
words
,
in
Positions
or
Queries
,
and
if
God
permit
,
a
sufficient
answer
thou
mayst
receive
,
to
remove
all
conscientious
Scruples
,
and
to
confound
all
subtil
Alledgments
and
Evasions
,
whereby
hereafter
forever
thou
mayst
be
altogether
inexcusable
of
all
doubting
or
speaking
against
us
,
or
suffering
evil
to
be
done
or
spoken
against
us
upon
that
account
:
And
this
am
I
moved
to
give
forth
,
and
send
to
thee
,
that
thou
mayst
be
satisfied
,
and
all
things
tried
and
made
manifest
in
the
sight
of
all
men
,
and
that
all
rash
judgment
,
and
false
supposition
,
which
lodgeth
in
the
hearts
of
many
,
may
be
confounded
and
brought
to
nought
;
and
let
it
be
left
off
to
cry
out
Deceivers
,
and
Heresie
,
&c.
and
causing
any
to
suffer
upon
suspition
thereupon
,
but
bring
all
things
to
light
,
and
true
Judgment
,
that
what
is
proved
to
be
the
Truth
may
be
owned
,
and
not
persecuted
any
more
,
for
we
are
willing
to
be
made
manifest
to
all
men
;
and
if
any
thing
be
objected
against
us
,
which
may
not
be
sufficiently
answered
and
resolved
to
sober
men
,
then
our
Enemies
are
more
free
,
and
hath
whereof
to
glory
in
against
us
:
but
and
if
all
occasion
of
stumbling
be
removed
by
Answers
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
our
Principles
,
Practices
and
Doctrines
thereby
vindicated
,
then
let
all
the
Teachers
,
and
all
our
Adversaries
shut
their
Mouthes
from
biting
at
us
,
and
railing
against
us
,
and
accusing
of
us
to
thee
;
and
let
thy
Ear
be
shut
from
believing
Lyes
against
the
Innocent
;
and
let
none
suffer
in
thy
Dominion
under
the
cruelty
of
men
,
upon
such
a
ground
;
And
hereof
I
shall
be
glad
to
receive
an
answer
,
and
to
joyn
issue
in
this
Cause
;
and
in
the
mean
time
,
and
alwayes
,
am
a
Lover
of
thy
Soul
,
but
a
witness
against
all
Oppression
.

This
was
delivered
to
his
hands
at
Hampton
-
Court
,
in
the
4th
Moneth
,
1658.
For
the
Protector
.
Friends
,
Know
that
there
is
a
God
that
doth
whatsoever
he
will
,
all
power
is
in
his
hand
,
and
he
bringeth
to
pass
the
Counsel
of
his
own
heart
,
and
he
rules
in
the
kingdoms
of
men
,
and
bringeth
down
and
setteth
up
;
he
killeth
and
maketh
alive
,
and
he
changeth
times
and
seasons
and
Governments
,
and
bringeth
to
nought
the
counsels
of
men
,
for
all
power
in
Earth
and
in
Heaven
is
in
him
;
and
all
his
doings
are
right
,
and
his
wayes
are
equal
;
and
thou
and
all
Mankind
are
as
Clay
in
the
hand
of
the
Potter
,
he
can
honour
and
exalt
as
he
pleaseth
,
and
he
can
mar
and
break
to
pieces
and
dishonour
whensoever
he
will
,
wherefore
be
humble
and
low
in
heart
before
him
,
for
he
is
the
highest
power
that
subdueth
all
things
under
his
feet
;
if
he
wound
who
can
heal
?
and
if
he
kill
there
is
none
can
make
alive
;
and
know
thou
it
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty
that
doth
this
;
in
whose
hands
are
the
Issues
of
life
and
death
,
and
he
it
is
who
can
break
thee
down
,
and
build
thee
up
,
who
can
wound
thee
and
restore
thee
,
and
bring
thee
to
destruction
,
and
say
unto
thee
return
;
and
to
know
him
that
doth
this
,
belongs
to
thy
eternal
peace
.
Wherefore
hearken
thou
to
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
that
thy
soul
may
come
out
of
death
,
and
live
;
and
fear
the
Lord
God
,
before
whom
thy
heart
is
naked
and
bare
;
who
can
mould
thee
and
change
thee
,
and
fulfill
his
pleasure
upon
thee
,
even
according
to
his
own
will
,
and
who
shall
say
what
doth
he
?
and
now
come
to
consideration
,
and
let
thy
heart
be
more
upright
before
him
,
and
chuse
his
way
and
counsel
,
that
he
may
bless
thee
,
and
seek
his
face
to
behold
his
countenance
,
that
thy
soul
may
be
satisfied
by
his
Word
,
and
the
Milk
of
the
Word
may
nourish
thee
unto
life
Immortal
;
and
mind
his
pure
presence
which
is
life
,
even
God
with
thee
,
Christ
the
Emmanuel
to
dwell
with
and
walk
in
thee
,
which
is
the
promise
of
the
Father
;
and
first
come
to
the
Principle
of
God
,
and
feel
the
Word
of
God
in
thy
heart
,
that
will
beat
down
the
nature
into
which
Temptations
enter
;
and
the
Word
will
bring
thee
to
war
against
and
overcome
all
thy
Enemies
,
which
would
defile
thee
,
or
betray
thee
;
and
it
will
bring
thee
to
know
a
Birth
Immortal
born
in
thee
,
and
a
Crown
Immortal
received
from
God
,
that
dies
not
,
nor
fades
not
away
;
and
then
he
that
rules
over
Heaven
and
Earth
will
be
thy
Shepherd
,
to
feed
thee
,
and
thy
Teacher
,
to
guide
thee
,
and
thy
Counsellor
,
to
direct
thee
in
all
things
;
and
thy
immortal
Soul
will
be
satisfied
with
the
Bread
that
cometh
down
from
Heaven
,
which
the
Father
giveth
;
and
the
Covenant
of
God
,
and
the
Mercies
of
David
,
that
are
sure
,
will
be
revealed
,
and
his
Promise
fulfilled
in
thee
,
and
Life
and
Immortality
brought
to
Light
through
the
Gospel
,
which
is
the
Power
of
God
,
which
destroyes
and
puts
off
,
and
confounds
the
first
man
and
his
knowledge
;
and
wisdom
,
and
his
sin
and
righteousness
,
all
which
is
in
Transgression
against
the
Life
of
God
;
and
the
Gospel
the
Power
of
God
being
received
,
it
will
raise
up
the
Seed
of
God
in
thee
,
and
bring
thee
to
know
the
second
Adam
,
the
Image
of
the
Father
which
the
Devil
hath
nothing
in
,
but
he
overcomes
the
Devil
who
hath
been
the
Lamb
Slain
by
Transgression
,
since
the
Foundation
of
the
World
;
and
he
it
is
that
comes
out
of
death
that
must
take
away
thy
sin
and
destroy
it
,
and
cover
thy
nakedness
,
and
create
thee
anew
,
and
give
thee
acceptance
in
the
Father
whereby
thy
soul
in
him
may
be
refreshed
,
and
a
habitation
in
him
thou
mayst
have
when
this
World
is
no
more
,
and
for
this
thou
oughtest
to
wait
above
all
things
.
And
Friend
,
thou
hast
need
of
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
which
is
from
Heaven
to
guide
thee
in
all
thy
affairs
,
that
by
it
thou
may
be
preserved
from
the
will
of
thine
Enemies
,
and
from
all
that
hate
thee
;
that
their
Eye
may
be
blinded
that
watch
for
Evil
,
and
their
Wisdom
and
Policy
confounded
and
brought
to
nought
that
hatch
Mischief
against
thee
.
So
feel
a
Measure
of
the
Wisdom
of
God
in
thee
,
to
guide
thee
in
Dread
and
Authority
,
and
thy
Enemies
will
be
afraid
;
for
,
to
walk
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
his
Wisdom
and
Authority
,
in
Justice
,
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
that
will
make
thee
a
greater
Terror
unto
thy
Enemies
then
all
Worldly
Policy
and
Craft
;
the
Nations
will
over-reach
thee
,
if
thy
strength
be
there
;
and
if
Judgment
,
Justice
and
Righteousness
be
neglected
by
thee
,
how
should
the
Lord
Honour
thee
,
and
Defend
thee
?
Nay
,
he
will
bring
Dishonour
,
and
give
thee
into
the
Will
of
thy
Enemies
:
For
want
of
Truth
and
just
Judgment
causeth
the
Land
to
Mourn
,
and
her
People
to
sit
as
a
Widdow
comfortless
;
wherefore
love
Judgment
,
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
walk
therein
,
and
thou
wilt
leave
a
Praise
behind
thee
,
and
a
Witness
to
other
Ages
,
that
thou
hast
served
the
Lord
in
thy
Generation
,
and
then
thy
Memorial
shall
never
dye
,
nor
thy
Name
come
into
Reproach
among
the
Heathen
.
Wherefore
let
all
Oppression
be
removed
,
and
let
the
Just
go
free
,
and
let
Judgment
and
Righteousness
run
down
,
and
be
thou
a
Praise
and
a
Blessing
to
all
that
do
Well
,
and
a
Terror
and
a
Dread
to
all
the
contrary
.
Arise
,
and
stand
up
for
the
Lord
,
and
he
will
give
thee
Strength
and
Victory
,
and
will
make
thy
Horn
as
Iron
,
and
thy
Hoof
as
Brass
,
to
push
down
and
tread
under
the
high
places
of
Idolatry
,
in
all
the
apostatized
Churches
,
both
Papist
,
and
others
,
out
of
the
Life
of
the
Apostles
;
and
as
thou
comest
into
the
Life
the
Apostles
were
in
,
then
thou
wilt
see
and
fathom
over
all
this
Profession
of
Christ
,
and
all
these
Churches
,
that
are
without
the
Life
of
Christ
,
which
are
come
up
in
the
Apostacy
;
and
as
the
Life
of
God
ariseth
in
thee
,
thou
wilt
see
who
the
false
Prophets
are
,
and
Deceivers
,
which
Christ
Prophesied
of
should
come
,
and
Iohn
saw
were
come
in
his
dayes
,
which
have
over-spread
the
Nations
;
and
these
are
they
which
have
the
Sheep's
Clothing
upon
them
,
but
inwardly
they
are
Ravening
Wolves
;
and
such
are
they
,
that
will
Flatter
thee
for
great
Benefices
,
and
Places
,
and
large
Maintenances
;
they
have
Christ's
words
,
and
the
Apostles
words
,
the
Sheep's
Clothing
,
but
they
that
put
not
into
their
mouthes
,
they
will
prepare
War
against
them
,
and
Raven
upon
them
,
and
cast
their
Bodies
into
Prison
,
or
spoil
their
Goods
:
And
wilt
thou
bring
thy
Name
into
dishonour
to
all
the
Saints
upon
Earth
,
by
defending
of
these
in
their
Evil
wayes
?
thou
oughtest
not
to
do
it
,
nor
to
suffer
the
Innocent
to
be
troden
down
,
and
destroyed
,
for
denying
such
,
and
witnessing
against
them
that
are
out
of
the
Life
of
Christ
;
and
a
great
Overthrow
will
the
Lord
make
among
those
Teachers
,
and
such
a
Ministry
,
that
needs
to
be
defended
by
carnal
Weapons
,
and
by
Stocks
,
and
Prisons
,
for
such
Teachers
and
Ministry
are
not
of
Christ
,
as
is
manifest
;
and
as
People
have
been
scattered
after
them
for
Ages
,
so
they
shall
again
be
gathered
from
them
by
the
Spirit
,
to
follow
the
Lamb
whither
soever
he
goes
.
And
take
heed
these
Teachers
come
not
too
near
thee
,
neither
put
Confidence
in
them
;
for
their
hearts
are
not
right
before
the
Lord
:
and
they
will
flatter
thee
,
while
they
hatch
Mischief
against
thee
;
but
stand
over
them
in
the
Dominion
of
God
:
And
if
they
sow
Spiritual
Things
,
let
them
reap
Carnal
by
a
Free
Gift
;
and
if
they
have
Flocks
,
let
them
eat
of
the
Milk-Freely
given
them
;
and
if
they
have
planted
any
thing
,
let
them
eat
the
Fruit
,
as
it
comes
Freely
;
and
be
not
thou
cumbered
about
maintaining
Ministers
,
but
free
thy self
of
that
Burden
;
neither
suffer
innocent
Men
to
be
troden
down
,
and
destroyed
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
about
the
maintaining
of
such
Teachers
,
which
is
become
the
grievousest
Oppression
in
the
Nation
.
And
as
concerning
thy
Family
;
Thou
hast
need
of
God's
Wisdom
to
guide
thee
,
that
thou
mayst
Rule
in
God's
Authority
over
all
light
,
loose
,
proud
,
wanton
,
ungodly
and
deceitful
Persons
;
take
heed
of
such
spirits
,
for
they
will
be
a
Temptation
to
thee
,
to
draw
thee
into
Evil
,
and
into
the
World
,
out
from
God
:
let
no
such
be
thy
Companions
,
nor
remain
in
thy
House
,
lest
they
betray
thee
with
Flatteries
and
Honour
,
which
perish
;
and
such
may
profess
much
Love
and
great
Duty
in
words
,
yet
they
being
out
of
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
cannot
be
blessed
unto
thee
in
their
Service
.
Wherefore
Love
such
men
,
and
let
them
be
thy
Companions
,
that
Fear
the
Lord
,
and
that
are
Solid
,
and
Sober
,
and
Upright
,
such
as
may
be
good
Examples
before
thee
,
which
will
quench
Evil
,
and
not
increase
it
in
thee
:
and
though
such
appear
not
in
Flatteries
towards
thee
,
nor
with
a
double
mind
;
yet
they
will
be
Faithful
to
thee
;
and
such
will
the
Lord
bless
unto
thee
.
And
let
no
Drunkards
,
nor
Covetous
Evil-minded
Persons
,
that
seek
themselves
,
and
not
the
Lord
,
have
place
with
thee
;
for
they
will
be
a
Dishonour
to
thee
,
and
bring
the
Curse
into
thy
Family
.
And
love
such
as
make
Conscience
of
their
Words
and
Wayes
,
and
be
not
an
Oppressor
of
the
Tender
Consciences
of
any
;
but
let
the
Lord
be
Ruler
there
,
both
in
thy self
,
and
in
all
thy
Family
:
And
be
of
a
Pittiful
Tender
Mind
and
Spirit
towards
Strangers
,
and
all
People
;
and
be
Kind
and
Long-suffering
towards
all
,
yet
let
Justice
reach
to
all
Transgressors
;
and
be
an
Example
to
all
in
Authority
under
thee
:
And
let
not
Evil
and
Cruel-hearted
Men
bear
any
Place
;
for
such
render
thee
and
thy
Government
Dishonourable
,
and
by
such
the
Land
is
filled
with
Violence
,
and
the
Just
Mourn
,
whereby
the
Blessing
is
kept
●●r
away
,
and
the
Curse
near
,
ready
to
d●vour
.
Now
Friends
if
thou
comest
to
be
guided
by
the
Spirit
,
and
with
the
Wisdom
of
the
Father
,
then
thou
wilt
bring
the
Nations
into
good
Order
,
whereby
the
Inhabitants
may
live
in
Peace
and
perfect
Freedom
,
from
all
Oppressions
and
Vexations
,
that
now
are
a
Bondage
upon
the
Just
and
Upright
;
for
there
is
great
Corruption
entred
into
all
places
,
and
all
forts
of
men
;
and
when
the
Lord
toucheth
thy
Heart
,
and
maketh
thee
rightly
sensible
of
all
things
,
as
they
now
stand
,
then
thou
wilt
see
the
Ministry
(
as
now
it
standeth
)
to
be
quite
degenerated
from
what
the
Ministry
of
Christ
was
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
before
the
Apostacy
;
and
as
it
now
standeth
,
there
is
much
of
it
which
is
to
be
thrown
down
to
the
Ground
,
and
crushed
to
pieces
;
for
it
is
corrupted
altogether
,
even
in
the
way
of
its
setting
up
,
and
in
its
Call
,
and
in
the
way
of
its
Maintenance
,
and
Practice
;
in
all
these
things
it
is
corrupted
and
degenerated
from
what
the
Ministry
of
Christ
was
before
the
Apostacy
:
and
this
may
be
proved
by
the
Scriptures
;
and
so
it
is
not
to
be
upholden
by
thee
,
but
to
be
corrected
,
and
thrown
down
the
rather
.
And
likewise
in
Magistracy
,
thou
wilt
see
great
Corruption
entred
,
and
aboundance
to
be
purged
out
;
for
it
is
much
degenerated
from
the
state
as
it
was
ordained
of
God
;
and
in
the
Laws
there
is
much
to
regulate
and
correct
;
when
thou
comest
to
the
Principle
of
God
in
thee
,
if
ever
that
arise
i●
thee
,
it
will
bring
thee
to
thresh
down
,
and
trample
down
all
unjust
men
,
that
handle
the
Law
;
and
all
such
,
that
judge
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
;
and
all
such
Lawyers
,
that
devour
the
Innocent
for
Gifts
,
that
will
not
plead
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
without
great
Fees
;
and
all
the
Priests
,
that
preach
for
Hire
;
and
the
Teachers
,
that
teach
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
to
get
Gain
;
all
such
men
will
be
counted
as
Bryars
and
Thornes
by
thee
,
to
be
plucked
up
by
the
Roots
,
and
to
be
cut
up
as
Evil
Trees
,
which
cumber
the
Ground
;
for
such
do
corrupt
the
Land
,
and
cumber
it
;
and
if
ever
the
Lord
doth
arise
in
thee
,
he
will
reward
them
by
thee
according
to
their
wayes
,
whose
wayes
are
corrupt
before
the
Lord
.
Be
thou
faithful
in
what
the
Lord
calleth
thee
to
,
and
thou
shalt
have
thy
Reward
;
and
seek
his
Honour
,
and
he
will
Honour
thee
;
and
let
thy
mind
●e
to
the
Lord
in
all
things
,
and
feel
his
Word
,
and
Power
,
and
Presence
in
thee
,
to
quench
all
that
which
is
contrary
,
and
then
thou
wilt
be
blessed
in
this
life
,
and
in
the
Life
to
come
;
but
if
thou
continuest
〈◊〉
thy
Oppression
,
the
Lord
will
suddenly
smite
thee
.

for

things

some
the
loss
of

not

the

Wherefore

the
cruel
Bonds

Oppression
broken

the
Exercise

Conscience
go
free

without
Persecution

then
the
Lord
will
〈◊〉
away
his
Anger

cease

thus

how

Oh

Did

which
some

To
thee
Richard
Cromwel
(
called
)
Protector
of
these
Nations
,
is
this
moved
of
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
to
be
written
,
for
thy
Instruction
,
from
Him
.
THere
is
a
Great
,
and
Mighty
,
and
Innumerable
People
come
and
coming
up
out
of
Egypts
Land
,
travelling
towards
the
Land
of
Rest
,
promised
of
the
Lord
〈◊〉
them
,
to
be
obtained
and
enjoyed
by
them
;
and
they
do
,
and
have
sojou●ned
Strangers
in
these
Nations
(
over
whom
thou
are
called
to
Rule
,
and
appointed
●●ief
Governour
)
this
seven
years
;
and
greatly
are
and
have
they
been
afflicted
and
oppressed
,
and
even
trodden
down
through
unjust
Judgment
and
unrigh●…
Dealing
,
by
the
Rulers
and
Inhabitants
of
the
Land
;
and
all
the
dayes
of
thy
Father
,
the
late
Protector
,
they
were
held
in
great
Captivity
and
Bondage
,
and
unrighteous
men
made
them
a
Prey
,
and
laid
heavy
Yoaks
of
cruel
S●●●●rings
upon
them
,
and
daily
increased
their
Task
;
and
something
thy
Father
did
for
them
in
their
Journey
of
great
Distress
,
yet
but
a
little
of
what
the
Lord
required
of
him
,
and
what
the
Lord
looked
for
that
he
might
have
done
;
for
P●●er
was
in
his
hands
,
given
him
of
the
Lord
,
but
he
was
not
fully
obedi●●●
;
and
therefore
was
the
Lord's
Hand
stretched
out
somewhat
against
him
,
〈◊〉
his
Family
,
and
he
was
smitten
of
the
Lord
,
and
suddenly
taken
away
in
Judgment
;
for
he
hearkened
not
to
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
concerning
that
People
,
neither
did
fully
relieve
them
from
Oppression
;
but
slighted
many
War●●●●●
from
the
Lord
,
and
the
Day
of
his
Visitation
passed
over
,
and
Death
took
〈◊〉
away
in
Disobedience
,
while
this
People
were
yet
under
great
Oppressions
;
for
he
left
above
a
hundred
of
them
in
Prisons
,
unjustly
suffering
for
right
eousness
sake
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
;
and
in
this
he
fulfilled
not
the
Will
of
God
,
but
left
his
Name
and
Glory
somewhat
stained
because
of
these
things
;
and
though
the
Lord
chose
him
,
and
shewed
Love
unto
him
,
&
gave
him
Power
over
his
Enemies
,
and
made
him
an
Instrument
in
his
Hand
to
break
down
great
Oppressions
;
yet
he
was
not
obedient
to
the
end
,
to
do
my
Will
,
saith
the
Lord
;
but
left
something
●●●one
,
which
he
was
truly
called
unto
.
Now
this
innumerable
People
,
that
is
come
and
coming
up
,
as
aforesaid
,
are
them
called
Quakers
,
and
this
Egypts
Land
,
is
that
great
Darkness
,
Ignorance
,
and
Wickedness
,
and
false
Wayes
and
worships
in
the
Apostacy
,
and
fleshly
bondage
to
sin
and
death
,
which
all
the
World
,
and
Kindreds
,
and
Multitudes
that
are
unconverted
to
God
live
and
walk
in
;
and
that
Land
of
Rest
promised
,
to
which
they
travel
,
is
,
the
peaceable
and
quiet
dwelling
with
the
Lord

free
from
the
heavy
oppression
of
Sin
and
Iniquity
and
cruelties
of
men
,
and
free
in
the
exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
as
it
shall
move
and
lead
them
into
all
Truth
;
and
their
sojourning
as
Strangers
,
is
,
their
denying
and
despising
the
World
,
and
all
its
glories
,
and
walking
in
the
daily
Cross
of
Christ
,
whereby
they
are
crucified
to
the
love
,
and
respect
,
and
renown
,
and
honours
of
the
world
,
and
are
come
●●t
of
Kindreds
,
Tongues
and
People
,
counting
the
reproach
for
Christ
great
Riches
;
not
respecting
men
,
but
the
Lord
altogether
in
all
things
,
and
also
their
suffering
unrighteously
false
imprisonment
,
and
spoiling
of
their
goods
for
Righteousness
sake
;
this
is
their
sojourning
as
Strangers
:
And
that
something
that
thy
Father
did
for
them
,
is
,
he
released
many
of
them
divers
times
out
of
Prifons
,
where
they
were
unjustly
cast
,
and
he
signified
sometimes
his
displeasure
against
them
that
made
them
suffer
,
and
shewed
love
to
them
in
hearing
their
Innocent
Cause
,
with
some
respect
thereunto
;
and
that
which
he
did
not
,
which
he
might
have
done
,
is
,
He
took
not
away
Tythes
,
that
Cause
of
great
Oppression
to
many
;
nor
the
Unrighteous
Laws
wholy
,
as
he
ought
to
have
done
,
and
as
the
Lord
required
of
him
,
And
know
thou
from
the
Lord
,
That
this
same
People
are
the
People
of
the
Lord
,
and
beloved
of
him
,
and
as
dear
to
him
as
the
Apple
of
his
Eye
,
and
his
Presence
is
with
them
,
and
he
leads
them
as
a
Flock
by
his
Spirit
into
all
Truth
;
and
who
shall
Bless
them
,
shall
be
Blessed
;
but
he
that
acts
against
them
shall
not
prosper
,
but
be
smitten
of
the
Lord
;
for
their
Cause
will
the
Lord
plead
in
his
Judgments
,
and
avenge
them
of
their
Enemies
,
and
the
Dread
of
the
Lord
God
shall
fall
heavy
upon
the
heads
of
their
Persecutors
;
and
though
they
are
hated
of
all
men
,
and
under
great
Afflictions
,
yet
are
they
a
Just
People
,
and
Innocent
,
seeking
the
Good
of
all
men
,
and
are
Peaceable
towards
all
,
and
receiving
all
manner
of
Wrongs
,
and
Evil
,
and
Speakings
against
them
by
Ungodly
Men
,
but
they
render
to
no
man
Evil
for
Evil
,
but
bless
them
that
curse
,
and
do
good
to
their
Enemies
,
and
bear
all
things
from
all
men
in
Long-suffering
and
Patience
;
for
they
are
learned
in
the
Practices
(
in
doing
and
suffering
)
of
the
Holy
Apostles
and
Prophets
,
and
are
of
the
Seed
of
Abraham
,
who
was
the
Friend
of
God
;
and
they
were
thy
Father's
Friends
,
and
are
not
Enemies
to
thee
,
nor
to
righteous
Government
,
but
wish
well
unto
thee
in
the
Lord
,
and
that
thou
mayst
not
be
destroyed
in
Wickedness
,
but
be
established
in
Righteousness
and
Peace
in
thy
Government
,
to
rule
in
God's
Authority
over
all
Wicked
Men
,
that
may
seek
thy
hurt
:
And
we
desire
for
thee
,
that
the
Lord
may
give
thee
Wisdom
,
and
a
perfect
Understanding
,
and
the
Spirit
of
just
and
sound
Judgment
,
to
judge
Righteously
in
all
things
,
and
to
settle
the
Government
in
true
Judgment
,
that
the
Principle
of
God
in
every
man
may
answer
to
it
,
in
defending
&
preserving
,
and
protecting
all
that
walk
in
Truth
&
Righteousness
,
&
being
a
Terror
to
all
Evil-doer
;
for
,
for
that
end
is
Rule
and
Government
ordained
of
God
amongst
men
,
to
be
a
Praise
to
all
that
do
Well
,
and
a
Terror
to
all
that
do
Evil.
And
now
the
Lord
having
suffered
it
to
be
brought
to
pass
,
that
thou
art
set
up
in
thy
Father's
stead
,
to
be
chief
Ruler
amongst
men
,
this
the
Lord
God
Almighty
requires
of
thee
,
as
thou
hopest
to
prosper
,
and
be
blessed
in
this
Life
,
and
to
enjoy
Life
Eternal
when
this
World
is
passed
away
;
and
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
unto
thee
,
Be
Humble
,
Meek
,
and
Lowly
in
Heart
,
and
exalt
not
thy
own
Horn
,
nor
seek
not
this
World's
Honour
,
but
seek
the
Lord
with
thy
whole
Heart
;
and
let
Justice
,
and
true
Judgment
,
and
Righteous
Government
(
which
is
according
to
the
Law
of
God
)
be
set
up
,
and
exalted
in
the
Nations
;
and
come
to
know
in
thy self
the
Dominion
and
Authority
of
the
Lord
God
over
Sin
and
Transgression
,
and
to
keep
down
and
condemn
all
that
which
is
contrary
to
God
in
thy
own
Heart
,
and
that
will
make
thee
a
Dread
and
a
Terror
to
Men
and
Nations
;
and
then
the
Lord
will
be
thy
Crown
,
and
his
People
will
rejoyce
in
thee
,
and
lift
up
their
Hearts
to
God
for
thee
:
If
thou
throwest
down
and
abolishest
all
Unrighteous
Laws
and
Decrees
,
which
have
been
set
up
in
the
days
of
Ignorance
,
and
yet
stand
,
whereby
the
Lord
's
dear
Children
are
afflicted
and
oppressed
at
this
day
;
and
establishest
such
a
Government
,
which
is
justly
according
to
God
,
in
which
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
Justice
and
true
Judgment
may
run
down
;
and
all
the
contrary
may
be
stopped
,
and
chained
,
and
limited
,
and
confounded
;
and
then
that
which
thy
Father
le●t
undone
the
Lord
will
fulfil
through
thee
:
And
doing
these
things
,
the
Lord
would
make
thee
truly
Honourable
;
and
Happy
and
Blessed
in
this
life
,
and
in
the
Life
to
come
;
but
in
doing
the
contrary
,
the
Lord
will
make
thee
a
Curse
,
and
take
thee
away
in
his
Judgments
,
and
thy
Name
shall
be
left
a
Reproach
to
Ages
forever
:
And
if
thou
Rulest
in
Oppression
and
Cruelty
,
and
sufferest
the
Innocent
to
be
Destroyed
for
want
of
True
Judgment
,
then
shall
thy
Dayes
be
Fewer
then
thy
Father's
;
if
thou
be
Disobedient
to
him
,
the
Lord
shall
cut
thee
off
,
and
thy
Memorial
shall
Ro●
;
and
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
to
thee
.
And
as
for
this
Afflicted
and
Sojourning
People
,
They
desire
nothing
to
thee
,
but
Truth
,
and
Peace
,
and
Righteousness
;
and
no
more
of
thee
,
but
Justice
and
true
Judgment
,
and
that
they
and
their
little
Ones
,
which
to
them
are
brought
forth
,
may
sojourn
in
Peace
,
and
quietly
pass
through
the
Nations
,
till
they
come
to
the
Land
of
Promise
;
and
they
may
not
carry
of
the
Glory
nor
Riches
of
this
World
with
them
,
nor
seek
great
Places
of
Honour
from
thee
;
nor
be
hurtful
to
thee
,
nor
the
People
,
nor
to
Mankind
in
their
sojourning
;
only
what
the
Lord
Commands
them
,
that
they
must
do
;
and
what
he
forbids
,
that
they
must
not
do
:
For
they
have
chosen
the
Lord
to
be
their
Leader
,
and
to
give
him
their
Obedience
in
all
things
;
and
thy
Government
,
so
far
as
it
is
according
to
God
,
they
will
not
destroy
,
nor
rebel
against
,
but
are
true
Friends
thereunto
,
and
subject
in
all
things
:
And
if
thou
walkest
with
the
Lord
,
and
chusest
him
for
thy
Councellor
,
and
abasest
thy self
,
and
altogether
exalt
him
and
preserve
his
People
,
that
fear
him
,
then
shalt
thou
prosper
,
and
thy
Name
shall
be
greater
then
was
thy
Father's
,
and
the
Numberless
Number
of
this
(
now
)
distressed
People
will
be
unto
thee
a
Strength
,
and
stand
by
thee
in
thy
Day
of
Trouble
,
and
defend
thee
and
thy
just
Government
,
and
their
hearts
shall
cleave
to
thee
,
and
thou
shalt
prosper
for
their
sakes
,
and
none
of
thy
Enemies
shall
have
power
over
th●e
,
to
Destroy
thee
,
though
many
may
seek
for
thy
life
.
Wherefore
,
my
Friend
,
Awake
,
awake
,
and
now
consider
,
The
Day
of
thy
Visitation
is
present
,
and
thy
Father's
is
past
;
and
now
thou
hast
a
time
to
gain
unto
thy self
Everlasting
Honour
and
Renown
,
or
otherwise
to
leave
thy
Name
a
Curse
and
a
Reproach
for
evermore
:
Do
thou
hearken
to
the
Voice
of
the
Lord
,
and
fear
his
Dreadful
Name
,
and
bow
before
our
God
,
that
made
Heaven
and
Earth
,
who
rules
in
the
Kingdoms
of
Men
,
and
pulleth
down
one
,
and
setteth
up
another
at
his
Pleasure
,
and
as
he
will
;
and
he
will
make
thee
know
,
that
he
lives
and
reigns
over
all
,
and
doth
whatsoever
he
will
;
and
if
he
smites
thee
,
none
shall
heal
thee
;
and
if
he
wounds
thee
,
none
shall
comfort
thee
:
Therefore
take
him
for
thy
Councellor
,
and
beware
of
the
wicked
Counsels
of
men
;
for
thou
hast
may
Enemies
,
and
they
would
rejoyce
to
see
thy
Fall
;
and
if
the
Lord
be
not
on
thy
side
,
thou
canst
not
long
stand
;
but
if
thou
be
obedient
to
him
,
and
preservest
his
People
,
and
breakest
down
all
Oppression
,
then
thy
Enemies
shall
fall
,
and
thy
Foot
shall
tread
them
down
,
and
the
Terror
of
the
Lord
shall
be
upon
all
that
hate
thee
;
but
thus
shall
it
be
done
unto
thee
,
if
thou
be
disobedient
to
him
,
and
rejectest
his
Counsel
by
his
Servant
.
I
am
thy
Friend
,
and
a
Lover
of
thy
Soul
,
and
seek
thy
Happiness
in
this
World
,
and
in
the
World
to
come
;
known
to
many
by
the
name
of

Edward
Burroughs
.
The
Original
of
this
was
delivered
to
him
a
few
dayes
after
he
was
proclaimed
Protector
.
To
thee
Richard
Cromwel
,
chosen
to
be
Protector
,
and
chief
Magistrate
Governour
of
these
Nations
of
England
,
Scotland
and
Ireland
;
a
faithful
Presentation
and
Salutation
,
by
a
Servant
of
the
Church
.
WE
are
rightly
and
truly
sensible
in
all
things
of
the
Mighty
Hand
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
brings
all
things
to
pass
by
his
own
Power
,
and
according
to
his
Will
;
and
in
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
over
the
Kingdoms
of
men
he
ruleth
and
reigneth
;
he
buildeth
up
,
and
breaketh
down
;
he
planteth
,
and
plucketh
up
;
and
he
pulleth
down
one
,
and
setteth
up
another
:
and
who
may
say
,
What
dost
thou
?
or
,
Why
dost
thou
it
?
for
he
is
a
Great
God
,
and
Mighty
,
and
his
Majesty
is
terrible
:
and
all
things
in
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
all
the
Sons
of
Men
,
are
at
his
disposure
,
whose
Dominion
is
from
Everlasting
to
Everlasting
;
and
he
may
be
feared
,
and
had
in
Reverence
by
all
Creatures
that
have
Life
and
Breath
.
And
in
particular
,
we
are
sensible
of
his
Great
and
Mighty
Power
,
who
hath
of
late
Years
,
in
these
Nations
,
once
and
again
overturned
,
and
overthrowed
,
and
changed
at
his
Pleasure
Times
,
and
Powers
,
and
Authorities
,
and
Dominions
;
and
he
hath
brought
down
the
Mighty
from
their
Seats
,
and
stained
the
Crowns
and
Glories
of
the
Honourable
,
and
broken
the
Stout-hearted
,
and
the
Oppressors
of
their
Governments
as
Potsherd
,
one
against
another
,
and
made
the
Highest
of
Men
of
no
respect
before
him
;
for
he
hath
pulled
down
and
set
up
whom
he
would
,
according
to
his
Will
;
and
in
all
these
things
hath
his
Hand
been
the
very
Doer
and
Accomplisher
thereof
,
that
he
might
be
known
and
feared
amongst
all
people
through
the
whole
Earth
,
who
is
the
Dread
and
Terror
of
Men
and
Nations
.
And
as
for
thy
Father
,
the
late
Protector
,
Great
things
and
Honourable
did
the
Lord
do
for
him
,
in
raising
him
up
,
and
casting
out
his
Enemies
before
him
,
and
giving
him
Victory
,
and
Power
,
and
Renown
through
Nations
;
and
we
know
the
Lord
shewed
Favour
to
him
,
and
gave
him
Strength
,
Wisdom
and
Valour
,
and
a
right
Spirit
:
and
he
was
called
of
God
into
that
great
Work
,
to
subdue
the
grievous
Cruelty
,
once
ruling
over
tender
Consciences
;
and
to
break
down
the
great
Oppressions
,
which
for
Ages
had
caused
the
Just
to
groan
;
and
the
Lord
was
with
him
in
Victory
,
and
went
before
him
,
and
was
his
Defence
,
and
preserved
him
from
great
Dangers
,
and
from
the
Wills
of
all
his
Enemies
,
and
made
him
prosperous
against
them
all
:
but
yet
we
know
(
to
say
no
more
of
him
)
He
did
not
wholy
fulfil
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
nor
the
Work
which
he
begun
;
but
became
Disobedient
,
and
abused
his
great
Deliverances
and
Authority
;
and
did
not
set
free
the
Oppressed
altogether
,
but
left
Mountains
of
Oppression
,
and
grievous
Yoaks
of
Bondage
unbroken
down
,
and
unsubdued
;
and
the
Lord
smote
him
,
and
took
him
away
in
Judgment
because
thereof
.
And
as
for
thee
,
who
art
now
set
up
in
his
stead
,
We
certainly
believe
,
that
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
in
this
matter
,
if
but
to
try
thee
,
and
it
is
he
that
hath
brought
it
to
pass
,
not
expected
by
any
,
nor
much
sought
after
by
thy self
,
but
its
〈◊〉
to
pass
,
a
thing
out
of
and
contrary
to
the
Thoughts
and
Exp●●●ations
of
the
whole
Nations
,
art
thou
attained
to
this
Place
of
●…nment
;
and
therefore
we
must
acknowledge
something
of
the
great
Hand
of
God
in
it
,
being
come
to
pass
as
out
of
due
season
,
yet
may
the
Lord
make
it
sea●●nable
,
and
we
patiently
wait
to
receive
what
the
Lord
brings
to
pass
thereby
,
knowing
that
thou
art
in
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
to
do
whatsoever
he
will
with
thee
,
and
conce●●ing
thee
:
And
if
thou
fearest
him
,
and
walkest
with
him
,
and
chusest
him
for
thy
Councellor
,
and
art
obedient
to
him
,
and
seekest
his
Glory
alone
,
and
not
thy
own
Honour
and
Greatness
,
then
the
Lord
will
do
great
things
for
thee
,
and
by
thee
;
and
accomplish
his
own
Work
through
thee
,
whi●●
fell
in
thy
father's
hands
,
and
thou
wilt
be
blessed
,
and
renowned
,
and
honoured
forever
,
and
thy
Name
shall
be
had
in
respect
in
Generations
to
come
,
and
hereby
the
present
thoughts
of
many
shall
be
confounded
:
but
if
thou
dost
harden
thy
●eart
against
God
;
and
live
cruelly
,
and
neglect
his
Cause
,
and
despise
his
Name
〈◊〉
Honour
,
and
seek
thy
own
renown
,
and
oppress
the
Just
in
thee
and
without
thee
,
and
suffer
the
Poor
to
groan
under
the
Cruelty
and
Burden
of
Oppressing

go

〈◊〉
Authority

as

then
shalt
thou
not
pros●…

but
the
Lord
shall
bring
thee
down
,
and
lay
his
Hand
of
Judgment
upon
thee
;

thy
Name
shall
be
a
Reproach

the

and
the
heavy
〈◊〉
of
Vengeance
shall
be

pursue
thee
more
then
any
before
thee

and
the
Lord
will
deliver
his
People
by
another
way

and
this
is
not
in
Flattery

Feignedness
to
thee

as
the

our
God

Wherefore
O

seek

enquire
diligently

hear
his

feel
a

to
lead
thee
into
all
Truth

and
set
his
Presence

thy

And
if

the
Kingdom

the
Reconciliation

com●st
to
feel
the

raised

over
all
the

and
Transgression

thy

that
which

to

when

thee

and
also
,
in
this
present

,
Wisdom
,
and
Valour
,
and
true
Nobility
shall
be
added
to
thee
;
and
the
Spirit
of
Power
and
Dominion
,
to
●●ke
Men

be
afraid
,
and
fear

and
all
Evil

and
such
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
hurt
of
thee

thy

●●●ll
be
blasted

and
confound●●
;
and
all
Good
Men
be
encouraged

and
made
strong

and
the
whole
Na●●●●●
kept
in
Peace

Unity
;
and
the
Truth

Peace
of

shall
here●●●●ourish
amongst

to
the
Honour

to
thy
Re●…
,
if
thou
rulest
and
governest
for
him
,
and
by
his
Spirit
,
and
Authority
.
And
we
are
truly
sensible
of
the
great
Charge
of
this
Place
,
and
also
of
the
multitude
of
Perplexities
and
Dangers
to
thy self
,
occurring
and
happening
thereby
;
Dangers
from
open
Enemies
,
by
their
Malice
and
cruel
Plots
;
and
Dangers
from
thy
pretended
Friends
,
and
they
of
thy
own
House
,
by
secret
Surm●●●ngs
;
Dangers
in
Martial
and
Civil
Affairs
in
this
Nation
,
and
abroad
:
so
that
we
certainly
believe
,
Nothing
,
save
only
the
Wisdom
of
God
and
his
Power
,
can
preserve
thee
,
and
carry
thee
to
go
through
,
and
faithfully
fulfil
so
great
a
Place
,
and
to
discharge
it
truly
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
and
Just
Men
;
neither
mayest
thou
be
defended
and
preserved
by
any
other
Means
,
from
the
wills
and
plots
and
envy
of
evil
men
,
who
may
watch
for
evil
against
thee
,
to
destroy
the●●
and
blot
out
thy
Name
,
and
thy
Father's
Posterity
out
of
the
Land
.
Wherefore
take
hee●
to
thy self
,
and
fear
God
,
that
he
may
bless
thee
;
for
this
is
a
subtil
and
crafty
Generation
,
and
the
Nations
are
politick
,
and
the
Inhabitants
thereof
are
wise
and
deceitful
,
over
whom
thou
art
set
,
and
with
whom
thou
hast
to
deal
:
Therefore
beware
of
men
;
for
many
may
seek
after
thy
hurt
,
and
some
may
flatter
thee
,
and
shew
seeming
great
respect
unto
thee
,
and
profess
great
Service
of
Love
to
thee
in
the
Nations
,
and
in
thy
Family
,
for
a
season
,
till
their
own
Ends
of
Advantage
be
accomplished
,
and
may
in
the
very
time
hatch
Evil
against
,
and
secretly
invent
to
uncover
thy
Nakedness
,
and
betray
thee
;
for
many
men
are
Treacherous
:
but
thou
receiving
a
Measure
of
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
it
will
guide
thee
over
all
such
,
and
thou
wilt
see
into
the
hearts
and
spirits
of
men
;
and
to
discern
between
Love
Unfeigned
,
which
will
seek
thy
good
,
and
not self
,
and
that
Love
which
is
feigned
,
,
which
will
flatter
thee
,
and
blind
thy
Judgment
,
and
lead
thee
into
Snares
;
and
such
as
will
the
least
flatter
thee
,
will
be
the
most
true
to
thee
:
So
beware
,
and
let
not
vain
Flatteries
,
and
Proud
Ambitious
and
ungodly
Self-seeking
Men
,
nor
Drunkards
,
nor
Covetous
,
nor
Politick
and
Deceitful
men
and
spirits
have
any
place
in
thy
Heart
,
nor
in
thy
House
,
nor
in
Places
of
Authority
and
Trust
in
thy
Government
;
for
such
men
will
be
a
Snare
unto
thee
,
and
a
Dishonour
to
thee
,
and
the
cause
of
God's
Wrath
and
Curse
against
thy
Person
,
Family
,
and
whole
Nations
;
for
such
men
God
will
not
bless
,
nor
thee
nor
the
Government
for
their
sakes
;
and
this
thou
wilt
find
tr●●
one
day
.
Therefore
chuse
unto
thee
such
men
as
fear
God
,
who
are
Just
,
and
Humble
,
and
Upright-hearted
,
who
are
Sincere
and
Faithful
to
the
Lord
,
who
have
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
and
true
nobility
of
Spirit
,
in
Righteousness
and
Simplicity
,
free
from
the
Prophaneness
of
this
evil
World
;
let
such
be
thy
Companions
,
to
wait
upon
thy
Person
,
and
to
Govern
and
Rule
in
thy
Family
and
Nations
;
and
let
such
be
put
in
Trust
,
who
will
not
be
Treacherous
;
for
such
are
Blessed
,
and
will
be
a
Blessing
to
thee
and
the
whole
Government
:
And
we
know
,
that
the
Lord
gives
respect
and
regard
to
the
Upright
,
that
fear
his
Name
,
and
such
he
will
accomplish
his
Work
by
,
to
thy
Renown
,
and
the
Peace
and
Happiness
of
the
Nations
;
more
then
to
Craft
and
Policy
,
and
the
Wisdom
and
Subtilty
of
this
World
;
for
thereby
the
Lord
will
never
fulfil
his
Work
,
nor
prosper
a
Ruler
,
nor
his
People
;
and
if
thy
Strength
and
Defence
be
there
,
and
not
in
the
Lord
,
and
his
pure
Wisdom
only
,
thou
canst
not
prosper
;
but
the
Nations
and
Men
will
over-reach
thee
,
and
beguile
thee
,
and
thou
canst
not
be
Happy
,
nor
thy
Government
be
kept
in
Peace
:
but
a
little
measure
of
the
Fear
,
and
Power
,
and
Wisdom
of
the
Lord
God
from
Heaven
in
thy
Heart
,
and
amongst
such
as
are
thy
Councello●●
to
guide
you
and
govern
you
,
will
be
of
more
value
and
worth
unto
thee
,
〈◊〉
thy
Place
and
Condition
,
then
all
Worldly
Policy
,
and
Wisdom
,
and
Craft
,
which
with
God
is
not
regarded
,
nor
of
him
ever
blessed
.
And
if
thou
deny
▪
est
the
Lord
,
and
Righteous
Men
;
and
chusest
thy
own
way
,
and
this
World's
Wisdom
,
that
's
from
below
,
then
thy
Trust
and
Strength
shall
pierce
thee
,
and
make
thee
feeble
,
and
of
all
others
thy
state
will
be
the
most
miserable
,
if
tho●
be
given
into
the
policy
and
deceits
of
treacherous
men
;
so
be
wise
,
and
seek
the
Lord
,
that
he
may
be
thy
trust
,
and
put
not
confidence
in
vain
man
,
whose
heart
is
deceitful
,
and
desperately
wicked
.
And
as
concerning
the
condition
of
these
Nations
,
they
are
in
a
broken
state
,
much
divided
,
and
diverse
in
Judgments
,
and
far
out
of
good
Order
;
for
there
is
much
Corruption
and
Abuse
in
all
Orders
and
Places
of
men
,
and
much
to
be
purged
out
and
judged
,
both
in
Magistracy
and
Ministry
,
before
Righteousness
,
Peace
and
Truth
,
Union
,
Joy
and
Faithfulness
can
embrace
one
another
,
amongst
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Nations
;
for
both
are
in
a
Diversion
and
Degeneration
from
what
they
were
at
the
first
ordained
of
God
,
and
this
I
could
clearly
manifest
unto
thee
;
for
the
Nations
are
but
newly
come
out
of
Popery
,
having
put
off
but
part
of
the
Dress
of
that
polluted
Whore
,
and
the
Garments
of
Professions
in
Religion
yet
smell
thereof
,
as
not
being
throughly
purged
from
her
abominable
Idolatries
and
Superstitions
,
as
thou
mayst
see
when
the
Lord
opens
thy
eye
to
view
the
present
state
of
all
things
.
As
for
Magistracy
,
It
was
ordained
of
God
to
be
a
Dread
,
and
Terror
and
Limit
to
all
Evil-doers
,
and
to
be
a
Defence
and
Praise
to
all
that
do
well
;
to
condemn
the
Guilty
,
and
to
justifie
the
Guiltless
;
but
the
Exercise
thereof
at
this
day
in
these
Nations
is
degenerated
,
and
some
that
are
in
Authority
are
greatly
corrupted
,
and
regard
not
the
Just
and
Pure
Law
of
God
,
to
judge
only
thereby
;
but
oppress
the
Poor
by
Injustice
,
and
subvert
the
good
Laws
of
God
and
Men
to
a
wrong
End
and
Use
,
abusing
Authority
,
and
turning
the
Sword
against
the
Just
,
whereby
true
Judgment
is
turned
backward
,
and
the
Innocent
made
unjustly
to
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
through
the
Corruption
of
men
in
Authority
;
and
didst
thou
but
know
what
we
know
in
this
particular
,
it
would
pierce
thy
heart
;
Why
?
It
is
frequent
amongst
some
of
the
Judges
and
Magistrates
,
To
commit
a
Man
to
Prison
,
and
impose
some
great
Fine
upon
him
,
●●d
to
cast
him
into
a
Dungeon
,
or
Hole
,
among
Thieves
and
Murderers
,
for
a
long
season
,
for
no
other
Offence
,
or
Breach
of
any
Law
,
but
because
he
cannot
put
off
his
Hat
〈◊〉
th●●
,
and
respect
their
Persons
,
by
bowing
the
H●●
or
Knee
:
And
many
others
,
that
fear
God
,
and
for
Conscience
sake
cannot
Swear
upon
a
Book
,
by
kissing
it
,
and
laying
hand
upon
it
,
because
Christ
saith
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
though
they
deny
not
to
speak
and
do
the
Truth
in
all
things
,
as
in
the
Presence
of
God
and
all
men
:
and
many
others
,
that
because
they
are
moved
to
cry
against
Sin
,
and
declare
against
the
Iniquities
of
the
Times
in
Teachers
,
Rulers
and
People
,
that
highly
abound
,
perhaps
in
a
Market
,
or
Steeple-house
,
or
High-way
,
or
other
Places
,
as
th●y
are
moved
of
God
:
and
many
others
,
because
for
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
pay
Tythes
,
nor
give
Money
and
Wages
to
maintain
a
Priest
,
or
false
Teacher
,
that
they
receive
no
profit
by
;
or
to
maintain
a
Steeple-house
,
where
the
world
worships
in
vain
Traditions
,
and
not
in
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
:
and
many
have
been
taken
out
of
peaceable
Meetings
,
where
they
were
waiting
upon
the
Lord
,
and
so●e
out
of
their
Inns
and
Friends
Houses
;
and
many
have
been
taken
on
the
way
,
travelling
about
their
lawful
Occasions
;
and
some
from
their
Callings
and
Labours
;
and
for
these
causes
,
through
the
envy
of
wicked
men
,
and
without
any
just
Conviction
of
the
Breach
of
any
Law
,
or
any
lawful
Tryal
,
or
Examination
,
have
Hundreds
of
just
men
being
wholy
Innocent
,
been
sent
to
Prison
,
and
laid
many
Moneths
,
and
some
for
Years
,
or
whipt
,
or
put
in
the
Stocks
,
and
grievously
abused
by
cruel
Executioners
of
wicked
mens
envy
and
injustice
;
and
upon
such
grounds
only
,
and
for
such
causes
mentioned
,
and
without
the
transgression
of
any
just
Law
,
have
and
do
at
this
day
many
Hundreds
of
faithful
Subjects
suffer
hard
and
cruel
things
,
long
and
sort
●●prisonment
,
and
cruel
and
sharp
Whipping
,
and
Stocking
,
and
unjust
Banishment
out
of
Towns
and
Cities
;
yea
,
Friend
,
its
hard
to
be
expressed
,
and
large
to
be
declared
,
how
many
of
the
Lord's
Servants
do
,
and
have
suffered
great
Injustice
in
these
Nations
,
through
the
abuse
of
good
Government
,
and
Degeneration
of
Magistracy
,
from
its
perfect
state
and
place
,
whereunto
it
was
Ordained
of
God
in
the
Beginning
.
And
moreover
,
Great
have
been
the
Abuses
,
by
Striking
,
and
Beating
,
and
Haling
,
and
Kickings
,
and
Revilings
,
and
Reproaching
,
whereby
many
have
suffered
Unrighteously
,
and
not
relieved
nor
defended
by
such
in
Authority
as
ought
to
have
done
it
,
neither
the
Evil-Doers
at
all
corrected
and
punished
as
they
ought
to
have
been
,
though
known
to
men
in
Power
;
and
thus
it
is
happened
to
us
in
our
Age
,
Well-Doers
are
punished
as
Transgressors
,
and
Evil-Doers
go
free
;
and
thus
its
manifest
,
Magistracy
and
Governors
,
Rulers
and
Laws
,
are
greatly
degenerated
and
subverted
from
what
they
ought
to
be
according
as
the
Lord
ordained
them
;
for
all
this
may
be
proved
particularly
;
so
that
the
Nations
are
out
of
good
Order
,
and
the
state
of
government
and
rule
degenerated
,
and
men
in
Authority
and
Places
of
Trust
corrupted
,
not
being
in
their
own
hearts
ruled
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
rule
for
him
among
men
justly
and
righteously
,
as
he
requires
:
And
also
,
so
great
hath
been
the
Degeneration
of
Government
in
these
Nations
of
late
years
,
That
many
faithful
and
just
Men
that
have
been
in
great
Places
of
Trust
,
both
in
Martial
and
Civil
Affairs
,
through
the
Envy
and
Evil-surmising
of
others
,
have
been
turned
out
of
all
Place
&
Power
,
&
not
suffered
to
give
their
Iudgment
amongst
men
;
but
been
cast
off
,
as
unprofitable
,
though
no
Evil
could
be
charged
against
them
;
whereby
the
Lord
hath
been
offended
▪
But
all
things
and
places
,
of
men
must
be
new
moulded
,
and
corrected
,
and
purged
,
and
regenerated
,
that
true
Judgment
may
flourish
,
and
Righteousness
and
Truth
prosper
,
as
in
the
Beginning
;
and
this
will
the
Lord
suddenly
bring
to
pass
by
his
own
Power
;
and
if
thou
opposest
it
,
thou
shalt
not
prosper
,
but
be
cut
off
,
and
taken
out
of
the
way
:
For
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
hath
been
provoked
to
Wrath
,
because
of
these
things
,
and
his
Anger
is
kindled
against
the
Nations
;
and
he
hath
overthrown
,
and
yet
will
once
more
overthrow
,
till
he
comes
,
whose
Right
it
is
to
Rule
,
whose
shall
be
the
Government
and
Kingdom
,
and
all
his
Enemies
shall
be
slain
.
And
as
for
the
publick
Ministry
,
as
now
it
is
in
its
present
estate
,
we
certainly
know
,
and
testifie
from
the
Lord
unto
thee
,
and
to
the
whole
Nations
,
that
it
is
not
the
same
Ministry
of
Christ
which
the
Apostles
had
,
nor
by
the
same
Power
and
Spirit
;
but
is
wholy
degenerated
in
Call
,
in
Practice
,
and
in
Maintenance
,
and
in
all
things
,
from
what
the
Ministry
of
Christ
was
in
the
dayes
of
the
true
Churches
,
before
the
Apostacy
:
and
it
is
,
as
now
it
stands
,
in
degeneration
,
not
of
God
,
nor
in
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
,
nor
hath
it
the
same
End
and
Effects
as
the
Ministry
of
Christ
once
had
;
but
it
s
tasted
and
tainted
with
the
Spirit
of
Antichist
,
which
long
hath
ruled
in
the
World
,
and
it
s
become
a
grievous
Oppression
in
the
Nations
;
and
people
are
not
converted
,
nor
turned
to
God
from
their
evil
wayes
,
but
remain
unprofited
:
and
to
say
no
more
of
it
,
though
much
I
might
say
,
what
I
affirm
of
it
I
may
prove
by
the
Scriptures
against
the
wisest
of
them
before
thee
,
if
thou
pleasest
,
viz.
That
as
now
the
Ministry
stands
,
it
is
not
perfectly
the
same
Ministry
the
Apostles
had
,
but
is
degenerated
from
what
the
Ministry
of
Christ
was
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
and
true
Churches
,
before
the
Apostacy
;
and
if
ever
God
toucheth
thy
heart
,
thou
wilt
see
it
so
;
when
the
Spirit
of
Christ
is
chief
Judge
in
thee
,
thou
wilt
witness
this
to
be
true
;
and
then
may
not
thy
Power
uphold
any
thing
which
is
contrary
to
God
,
when
Government
is
purged
,
and
made
pure
from
all
its
present
Degeneration
.
Again
,
There
are
many
and
divers
sort
of
Sects
,
and
Gatherings
of
People
,
and
Professions
in
Reliigion
of
several
contrary
Judgments
,
and
Opinions
&
Worships
in
these
Nations
;
and
these
People
,
over
whom
thou
art
set
to
rule
,
are
divers
,
and
divided
in
their
Wayes
,
and
Minds
,
and
Professions
of
Religion
;
some
looking
for
,
and
seeking
after
Christ
,
in
such
a
manner
;
and
others
after
another
manner
;
all
crying
,
Loe
here
is
Christ
,
and
thus
he
will
come
;
and
loe
he
is
there
,
and
so
will
he
appear
;
and
some
are
inventing
and
supposing
such
a
Government
to
be
best
,
and
others
contrary
to
that
;
and
many
are
(
as
)
distracted
in
their
thoughts
,
not
knowing
what
to
seek
,
or
what
to
look
after
;
some
are
for
such
a
Government
and
Religion
,
and
others
for
another
;
and
peradventure
each
one
of
these
may
seek
to
thee
for
Protection
against
such
as
oppose
them
,
commending
and
justifying
their
own
Way
,
and
Sect
,
and
Form
,
and
Religion
against
all
others
,
and
craving
Laws
to
maintain
themselves
,
and
their
Sect
;
and
to
stop
and
limit
all
other
Ways
,
as
Heresie
,
because
differing
from
them
;
and
they
will
each
of
them
turn
and
rest
the
Scriptures
from
the
mind
of
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
forth
,
to
prove
their
own
Opinions
and
Professions
to
be
right
,
against
all
others
;
but
now
thou
mayst
know
,
that
the
Scriptures
were
given
forth
by
the
one
Spirit
of
God
,
and
is
the
Testimony
of
one
Truth
,
of
one
Saviour
,
of
one
true
Worship
,
and
one
only
true
Religion
,
and
not
many
and
diverse
Wayes
,
and
them
that
are
of
divers
Judgments
,
and
Worships
and
Religions
,
and
yet
all
plead
Proof
from
the
Scriptures
for
what
they
profess
and
practice
:
all
such
pervert
the
Scriptures
,
and
wrest
them
,
who
are
thus
divided
and
unsettled
in
Religion
;
and
they
shew
,
that
none
of
them
have
the
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
which
Spirit
leads
into
all
Truth
,
and
in
it
is
the
true
Worship
of
God
,
and
the
true
Profession
and
Practice
of
true
Religion
,
and
that
Spirit
only
understands
its
own
words
in
Scripture
;
but
all
these
divers
Sects
,
and
Heaps
of
People
that
are
divided
in
Worship
,
and
about
Religion
,
have
not
the
Spirit
of
God
,
that
gave
forth
Scriptures
,
to
lead
them
into
all
Truth
,
and
guide
them
in
the
perfect
Way
,
and
pure
Religion
,
which
the
Apostles
and
Churches
of
Christ
were
in
,
in
their
dayes
;
but
all
these
many
Sects
,
that
are
thus
divided
,
are
risen
up
since
the
days
of
the
Apostles
,
and
are
of
another
spirit
,
and
of
a
false
Religion
.
And
as
for
such
called
Ministers
,
they
will
be
hurrying
about
thee
,
and
flattering
thee
with
fair
and
crafty
words
,
and
smooth
Petitions
and
Requests
,
for
Protection
and
Establishment
from
thee
,
and
for
large
Maintenance
,
and
Stipends
and
Tythes
;
and
possibly
they
may
complain
to
thee
against
such
as
cannot
give
them
H●re
and
Tythes
,
but
may
reprove
their
Evil
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
Wickedness
;
begging
for
Laws
against
such
,
and
crying
out
against
Error
&
Herisie
,
because
some
may
be
mov'd
to
cry
against
their
Deceits
&
Oppressions
;
and
for
the
like
causes
they
will
run
about
thee
,
and
seek
their
own
Advantage
;
and
this
we
know
,
their
nature
and
spirit
is
such
,
and
hath
been
for
many
Ages
.
But
now
Friend
,
Do
thou
stand
in
God's
Authority
;
out
of
,
and
over
all
such
Teachers
and
Sects
,
and
come
not
under
any
of
them
that
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
want
the
Power
,
who
are
in
the
Apostacy
,
from
the
Life
and
pure
Religion
,
that
the
Apostles
were
in
;
nor
believe
them
not
that
shall
say
,
Lo
Christ
is
●●rt
,
or
,
Lo
he
is
there
;
or
,
Who
shall
ascend
to
fetch
him
from
without
?
or
,
When
shall
be
come
from
far
to
save
his
People
?
Go
not
thou
after
any
of
these
,
but
he
arken
to
the
Word
of
God
in
thy
heart
,
and
know
that
Christ
is
within
thee
,
else
thou
art
reprobate
;
neither
do
thou
take
in
hand
to
exalt
any
one
of
these
Sects
,
or
some
of
them
above
others
;
neither
defend
&
maintain
any
of
them
against
others
of
them
,
nor
tollerate
not
one
of
them
above
another
;
for
if
thou
dost
,
it
will
betray
thee
,
and
the
Nations
Peace
,
and
set
all
spirits
on
Fire
about
thee
;
and
while
one
is
pleased
,
and
may
pray
for
thee
,
others
will
be
vexed
against
thee
,
and
curse
thee
:
wherefore
be
not
troubled
about
these
things
,
nor
cumber
not
thy self
about
Religion
,
how
to
establish
it
;
for
it
is
God's
Hand
only
to
establish
his
Worship
and
Religion
,
it
belongs
to
him
,
as
he
will
,
and
not
as
man
by
his
Policy
and
Wisdom
;
but
stand
free
from
them
all
,
and
neither
establish
any
,
nor
pers●●ute
any
Sect
whatsoever
,
but
let
them
all
have
their
cou●se
and
season
,
;
they
will
fall
and
perish
of
themselves
,
and
the
Good
Old
Way
,
and
Truth
,
and
the
pure
Religion
,
only
will
remain
;
and
let
them
cry
one
against
another
,
and
rebuke
one
another
,
and
meddle
not
thou
with
that
,
but
only
let
thy
Laws
and
Authority
preserve
mens
Persons
and
Estates
from
the
Wrong
one
of
another
,
that
all
men
may
live
peaceably
under
thee
,
and
no
man
wrong
his
Neighbour's
Person
or
Estate
;
and
that
's
only
thy
Place
,
to
rule
in
outward
Affairs
,
but
not
to
Rule
over
any
mans
Conscience
,
to
compel
him
to
such
a
Worship
,
or
to
limit
from
such
a
Worship
in
Religion
,
that
belongs
not
to
thee
,
but
to
the
Lord
,
who
alone
will
be
the
Ruler
,
and
Guide
,
and
Exerciser
of
his
People's
Consciences
;
and
if
thou
dost
meddle
therein
,
thou
shalt
not
prosper
,
nor
be
blessed
in
thy
Deed
:
So
leave
the
establishing
of
Religion
to
the
Lord
,
and
let
all
these
Sects
manifest
,
if
any
of
them
have
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
in
them
,
and
with
them
,
and
let
them
shew
their
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
;
for
only
such
as
have
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
in
them
will
overcome
,
and
such
will
be
increased
and
grow
;
and
thou
nor
none
can
hinder
:
and
such
that
want
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
in
and
with
them
,
may
flourish
in
their
Form
for
a
while
,
but
they
will
be
blasted
and
wither
,
and
it
s
in
vain
for
thee
,
or
any
,
to
uphold
such
,
or
endeavour
to
establish
them
;
but
if
thou
meddlest
on
these
accounts
it
will
undo
thee
,
and
confound
thee
;
therefore
be
wise
,
and
know
what
the
Lord
requires
of
thee
perfectly
;
for
if
thou
leavest
that
undone
which
God
requires
,
then
shalt
thou
be
condemned
;
and
if
thou
dost
that
which
he
requires
not
,
then
shalt
thou
not
be
free
.
And
this
is
written
in
Love
to
thee
,
to
inform
thy
mind
,
how
to
walk
towards
the
Lord
,
and
the
People
over
whom
he
hath
set
thee
.
And
as
for
the
maintaining
of
Ministers
,
Let
that
alone
also
,
and
be
not
troubled
about
it
;
for
it
was
ever
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
that
preached
for
Hire
,
and
went
after
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
sought
Money
and
Gifts
of
people
;
and
they
that
do
the
same
now
,
were
never
sent
of
God
,
nor
are
they
such
as
shall
convert
people
to
God
;
for
who
are
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
will
not
seek
to
thee
,
nor
to
men
for
Wages
,
nor
Tythes
,
nor
Money
,
but
live
of
the
Gospel
,
and
not
compel
great
sums
of
Money
from
people
,
to
maintain
them
in
their
Families
in
Pride
,
in
Fulness
,
and
Idleness
;
such
things
are
great
Oppressions
in
this
Nation
,
and
a
horrible
filthy
thing
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
and
because
thereof
will
the
Lord's
Judgments
come
upon
the
Land
:
If
thou
wert
but
rightly
sensible
what
casting
into
Goals
,
and
what
suing
at
Law
of
poor
People
,
and
what
spoiling
Peoples
Goods
by
Restraint
,
and
all
for
and
about
Tythes
,
and
Priests
Wages
;
it
would
make
thee
admire
the
Wickedness
of
that
Generation
;
but
do
thou
let
them
alone
,
for
they
do
shame
themselves
,
and
undo
themselves
,
and
lose
the
Hearts
of
all
good
People
by
their
own
doings
;
and
stand
over
them
all
in
God's
Authority
,
and
know
a
measure
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
thy
own
heart
,
and
thereby
thou
wilt
discern
,
and
try
and
judge
of
the
spirits
of
all
men
,
and
their
Religion
;
and
the
Spirit
will
lead
thee
in
the
pure
Religion
,
to
worship
God
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
;
So
let
not
thy
mind
be
cumbred
at
all
about
establishing
Religion
,
nor
about
maintaining
the
Ministers
;
but
be
faithful
to
what
the
Lord
requires
of
thee
,
and
learn
his
Will
,
and
do
it
,
and
then
thou
wilt
be
Blessed
and
Honoured
in
this
world
,
and
in
the
World
to
come
.
And
Friend
,
Know
thou
that
the
Lord
is
doing
of
a
great
Work
in
these
Nations
,
he
is
raising
up
a
Seed
to
serve
him
and
to
worship
him
aright
,
and
the
God
of
Heaven
is
setting
up
a
Kingdom
over
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
World
,
and
he
hath
a
Controversie
with
all
sorts
of
people
,
in
as
much
as
Corruption
and
Degeneration
is
entred
amongst
all
,
and
all
must
be
purged
of
all
Orders
of
men
,
and
the
Evil
cast
out
;
the
Work
of
the
Lord
is
Great
and
Mighty
,
and
he
requires
no
help
of
thee
,
nor
any
man
whatsoever
;
for
his
own
Arm
will
bring
it
to
pass
;
yet
he
would
not
have
thee
to
gain-say
his
Work
,
and
strive
against
it
,
and
seek
to
quench
what
the
Lord
is
bringing
forth
,
if
thou
dost
it
,
then
shalt
thou
be
condemned
,
and
the
Lord
will
speedily
execute
his
Judgments
,
and
Remove
thee
,
and
overthrow
thy
Power
and
Authority
into
Destruction
;
wherefore
be
passive
in
this
matter
,
and
look
thou
at
the
Lord
,
and
protect
and
defend
mens
Persons
and
Estates
from
Wrong
;
but
meddle
not
with
their
opinions
and
professions
in
Religions
,
to
exalt
any
of
them
,
nor
yet
to
persecute
them
.
And
thus
Friend
,
according
as
it
lay
upon
me
from
the
Lord
,
I
have
written
this
unto
thee
in
dear
and
pure
Love
,
God
is
Witness
,
and
I
have
cleared
my
Conscience
to
thee
thus
far
;
and
if
thou
fall
by
thy
own
Transgression
,
it
will
lie
upon
thy self
;
I
have
warned
thee
,
and
I
am
clear
;
and
if
thy
Fall
comes
,
remember
thou
wast
advised
.
Who
am
a
Lover
of
Iustice
and
True
Iudgment
,
and
a
Friend
to
this
Common-Wealth
,
and
to
thee
wisheth
well
in
the
Lord

This
was
delivered
to
him
in

Eighth
Moneth

To
the
Protector

.
THE
Lord
God
will
shortly
make
you
know
,
that
we
are
his
People
,
though
we
be
accounted
as
Sheep
for
the
Slaughter
;
yet
our
King
of
Righteousness
will
break
you
to
pieces
,
if
you
harden
your
Hearts
,
and
Repent
not
:
And
seeing
that
Love
will
not
draw
thee
,
neither
the
Gentle
Leadings
of
our
God
have
any
place
in
you
;
yet
Judgment
shall
awaken
you
,
and
his
heavy
Hand
of
Indignation
shall
lie
upon
your
Cousciences
,
and
you
will
be
scatterred
and
distracted
to
pieces
.

This

in

Tenth

to
Richard
and
his
Council
.
For
the
Parliament
.
YE
that
sit
in
Counsel
,
that
are
assembled
for
the
Nations
Good
,
hear
ye
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
,
which
is
towards
you
all
;
Rememember
the
Cause
of
God
,
and
of
his
People
;
remember
the
Groanings
of
the
Poor
,
and
give
ear
to
the
Cry
of
the
Oppressed
,
and
relieve
the
Guiltless
Sufferers
,
and
break
the
Bonds
of
Iniquity
,
and
let
the
Oppressed
go
free
;
do
this
,
lest
you
perish
:
And
remember
the
Old
Good
Cause
,
that
is
decayed
,
and
hath
long
been
laid
waste
;
let
it
be
once
more
revived
in
the
Nations
,
that
God
may
bless
you
;
Remember
the
first
Engagement
,
which
was
for
Freedom
,
and
suffer
not
the
Exercise
of
pure
Conscience
to
be
trodden
down
by
Oppressors
;
but
seek
ye
,
seek
ye
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Safety
of
his
People
,
and
the
Freedom
of
such
as
are
oppressed
;
and
be
not
ye
Oppressors
;
nor
Adders
to
the
Sufferings
of
the
Innocent
;
make
no
Laws
to
limit
the
Lord
,
nor
his
Spirit
,
nor
his
People
,
but
make
such
of
no
effect
,
lest
ye
be
confounded
like
as
with
a
Whirle-wind
,
by
the
Breath
of
the
Almighty
:
I
am
the
Lord
,
and
my
Name
is
dreadful
to
all
Flesh
;
mine
Arm
is
stretched
forth
over
the
Nations
,
and
I
will
scatter
them
at
my
Pleasure
;
I
kill
,
and
I
make
alive
;
I
break
down
,
and
I
build
up
;
fear
ye
me
,
and
tremble
at
my
Presence
;
bow
before
me
,
and
have
my
Name
in
Reverence
,
and
my
People
in
Safety
,
and
let
them
be
free
from
all
Oppressions
and
Tyranny
,
lest
I
correct
you
with
the
Rod
of
my
Judgments
,
saith
the
Lord
:
For
I
will
rule
Nations
with
an
Iron
Rod
,
and
the
Governments
shall
be
mine
through
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
and
my
People
shall
inheri●
the
Possessions
;
I
will
beat
the
Mountains
to
Powder
,
and
strike
Terror
in
the
Hearts
of
the
Mighty
;
and
I
will
Judge
among
the
Judges
,
and
Rule
amongst
the
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
who
are
but
Dust
and
Ashes
before
me
;
therefore
do
ye
the
thing
that
pleaseth
me
,
and
have
my
Cause
and
my
People's
Cause
in
respect
amongst
you
;
and
be
ye
low
and
humble
in
my
Sight
,
lest
I
wound
you
,
and
you
never
be
healed
,
lest
I
scatter
you
,
and
you
never
be
gathered
,
I
am
the
Lord
that
doth
whatsoever
he
will
,
Dreadful
and
Mighty
is
my
Name
in
the
Earth
,
and
my
People
are
my
Inheritance
,
wherein
I
delight
;
spare
them
,
and
afflict
them
not
,
that
I
may
spare
you
,
and
not
destroy
you
;
and
take
you
Counsel
at
my
Spirit
,
and
at
my
Servants
,
that
you
may
prosper
;
and
hurt
not
the
Innocent
,
nor
touch
my
Anointed
Ones
,
lest
I
come
suddenly
upon
you
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
break
you
to
pieces
;
for
I
will
make
you
know
,
that
my
People
are
mine
,
and
beloved
of
me
,
and
that
I
care
for
them
,
and
will
Fight
for
them
,
and
revenge
their
Cause
,
and
deliver
them
from
the
hands
of
their
Enemies
speedily
;
this
ye
shall
know
when
my
Vengeance
is
extended
forth
to
all
my
Enemies
,
and
upon
all
such
as
do
oppress
my
People
,
and
are
Spoilers
of
my
pleasant
Heritage
;
and
now
am
I
arisen
,
saith
the
Lord
.

FRIENDS
,
YET
once
more
hath
the
Lord
given
me
somewhat
to
say
unto
you
,
in
Love
to
your
immortal
Souls
;
You
had
a
glorious
Day
of
Visitation
,
and
many
precious
Warnings
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
,
by
his
Servants
,
but
you
rejected
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
against
your
own
Souls
,
and
made
no
account
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
which
were
sent
unto
you
;
but
caused
them
and
suffered
them
to
be
persecuted
by
your
Power
,
and
they
were
made
a
Spoil
and
a
Prey
to
their
Enemies
all
your
dayes
;
and
you
sought
your selves
,
and
your
own
Honour
,
and
you
were
exalted
in
Pride
and
Vain-glory
,
and
forgot
God
,
who
raised
you
up
from
a
low
Estate
,
and
you
had
no
respect
to
the
Cause
of
his
People
,
and
therefore
is
this
justly
come
to
pass
upon
you
from
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
;
not
that
I
rejoyce
in
it
,
and
glory
over
you
because
of
it
,
only
I
tell
you
what
is
justly
happened
unto
you
,
that
ye
may
learn
the
Lora's
just
Iudgments
in
these
things
,
like
as
formerly
I
warned
you
of
it
;
for
it
could
not
otherwise
be
,
but
that
the
Lord
would
avenge
the
Cause
of
his
People
upon
their
Persecutors
,
and
the
Injustice
done
unto
them
upon
you
,
in
whose
Name
and
Power
it
was
acted
;
for
,
in
every
Generation
he
hath
had
respect
unto
his
People's
Cause
,
and
did
avenge
their
Cause
in
his
season
:
And
this
I
well
remember
,
I
was
once
moved
to
speak
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
unto
your
Father
,
That
these
things
that
came
to
pass
in
his
days
,
that
Cruelty
and
Oppression
of
the
Lord's
People
,
would
be
recompenced
,
and
repented
of
in
his
Children's
dayes
:
For
I
saw
,
that
the
Cruelty
and
Injustice
that
was
done
in
his
Name
upon
the
People
of
God
,
could
not
escape
un
punished
in
a
Generation
;
and
it
is
now
come
to
pass
in
a
measure
,
and
will
be
more
and
more
,
even
for
his
Transgressions
and
your
own
:
for
all
of
you
had
a
Day
and
a
Time
,
wherein
you
might
have
done
something
for
the
Lord
,
and
for
his
People
;
and
you
had
a
Price
put
into
your
hands
,
that
you
might
have
improved
to
the
Lord's
Glory
,
and
to
your
own
Renown
,
to
have
been
a
Blessing
unto
your selves
,
and
to
the
People
of
God
in
these
Nations
;
but
your
Day
is
over
,
and
Night
is
come
upon
it
,
and
your
Price
is
taken
from
you
,
and
given
to
others
,
and
you
cannot
now
work
nor
act
on
the
Lords
behalf
,
as
once
you
might
have
done
;
and
you
have
sought
honour
to
your selves
,
and
you
reap
Reproach
;
and
because
you
have
despised
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
therefore
the
snare
hath
caught
you
,
which
was
laid
for
others
:
These
things
I
say
unto
you
in
pitty
for
you
,
rather
then
in
boasting
over
you
;
neither
do
I
commend
that
spirit
which
acteth
in
too
much
severity
towards
you
,
which
upraids
you
,
rather
then
seeks
to
amend
you
,
that
is
not
my
way
:
For
your
Father
served
the
Lord
in
his
Generation
,
and
was
once
the
Instrument
in
his
Hand
,
to
the
accomplishing
of
good
things
,
till
that
an
ambitious
spirit
got
power
over
him
,
and
betrayed
him
,
and
the
Work
was
lost
which
God
called
him
unto
.
And
as
for
these
that
are
now
in
Power
,
if
they
shall
tread
in
your
steps
,
and
shall
not
relieve
the
Oppressed
,
much
more
then
any
before
them
shall
they
be
overthrown
,
and
brought
into
Contempt
.
And
as
for
you
,
Come
into
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
that
your
Iniquities
may
be
pardoned
;
and
seek
Peace
with
God
,
and
Reconciliation
,
and
seek
after
the
Kingdom
that
e●dures
forever
;
and
while
ye
have
time
,
seek
after
a
Crown
Immortal
,
and
wait
to
know
that
which
will
make
you
Heirs
of
that
Inheritance
which
never
fades
away
:
the
Light
in
your
own
Consciences
,
which
Christ
hath
enlightened
you
with
,
which
lets
you
see
Sin
,
and
convinceth
you
of
your
Evil
Deeds
;
that
Light
in
you
must
you
own
to
be
your
Teacher
,
and
must
become
subject
unto
it
in
all
things
,
or
else
you
have
no
part
in
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
and
cease
from
your
lying
Prophets
,
who
have
flattered
you
in
your
Iniquities
,
and
deceived
your
Souls
,
and
cryed
Peace
unto
you
and
Safety
;
and
said
,
You
should
Prosper
,
and
they
have
hardened
your
Hearts
,
and
been
a
Snare
to
you
,
till
the
Lord's
Anger
is
broken
forth
against
you
,
and
they
found
Lyars
.
So
now
consider
,
and
do
not
alwayes
reject
Love
;
but
and
if
you
do
,
I
am
clear
,
and
your
Iniquities
will
be
upon
your
own
Heads
;
and
though
rejected
by
you
,
yet
a
Friend
to
your
Souls
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
made
often
to
warn
you
;
and
happy
had
you
been
,
if
you
had
or
can
now
prize
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
.

THE
PARLIAMENT
Of
the
Common-Wealth
OF
ENGLAND

The
present
Authority
of
these
Nations
,
Assembled
at
WESTMINSTER
.
A
Presentation
,
by
a
faithful
Friend
to
the
Nations
,
in
the
Name
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ
,
King
of
Righteonsness
and
Peace
;
That
you
may
take
off
Oppression
,
and
free
the
People
from
all
their
Cruel
Bonds
,
that
have
been
imposed
upon
their
Bodies
,
Estates
and
Consciences
,
in
the
dayes
of
the
Reign
of
Antichrist
;
that
Truth
,
Justice
and
Righteousness
may
come
nigh
unto
us
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
Son
of
God
set
up
among
us
;
that
you
and
we
may
at
last
be
free
Subjects
of
Christs
'
Kingdom
,
where
Righteousness
,
Truth
and
Peace
may
run
down
,
and
be
established
in
the
Earth
for
evermore
.
FRIEND
,
IT
is
acknowledged
,
that
the
Lord
God
(
who
rules
over
all
in
the
Kingdoms
of
Men
)
hath
done
Great
and
Honourable
Things
by
you
,
and
with
the
Face
of
your
Authority
in
your
dayes
;
and
since
your
first
appearing
on
the
Throne
,
Mighty
Things
have
been
brought
to
pass
,
in
our
Nations
,
by
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
;
insomuch
that
many
Mountains
have
been
abased
,
and
many
sturdy
Oaks
have
been
cut
down
,
and
many
cruel
Laws
have
been
made
void
;
and
even
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Way
of
the
coming
of
his
Kingdom
,
hath
seemed
to
be
prepared
:
For
the
kingdom
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
Beast
,
and
the
Whore
(
the
false
Church
)
hath
in
many
things
received
a
mortal
Wound
in
this
Nation
;
and
there
hath
been
divers
times
the
fair
Blossoms
of
the
Glorious
Appearance
of
Truth
,
Righteousness
and
Peace
;
and
there
have
been
many
fair
Promises
and
Pretences
,
made
by
many
of
you
,
like
as
if
the
Kingdom
of
Jesus
had
been
at
our
Door
,
ready
to
have
entred
our
Nations
,
whereby
many
good
Hopes
we
have
had
,
to
have
been
made
a
perfect
free
People
ere
this
day
,
from
the
Chains
of
Antichrist
and
the
Whore
(
the'
false
Church
)
and
from
every
Branch
thereof
;
and
that
we
might
have
sitten
together
in
Peace
and
Unity
,
and
in
Freedom
from
all
the
Opressions
of
our
Enemies
.
But
Alas
,
alas
,
This
Glorious
Work
of
Reformation
hath
bin
interrupted
before
our
eye
,
and
the
precious
Buds
and
good
Appearance
of
Glorious
Fruits
have
been
withered
and
blasted
in
our
sight
;
so
that
our
good
Hopes
have
perished
,
and
our
Freedom
hath
been
intercepted
through
the
Evil-dealing
of
many
unfaithful
men
;
so
that
Antichrist's
kingdom
hath
not
been
utterly
rooted
out
,
nor
the
oppressive
Laws
of
the
Whore
(
the
false
Church
)
wholy
broken
down
,
but
the
rather
have
seemed
to
be
revived
again
;
and
the
Kingdom
of
the
Son
of
God
hath
been
warred
against
,
and
Truth
,
Righteousness
and
just
Judgment
hath
been
kept
out
of
the
Throne
,
and
the
Lamb
,
and
his
Army
,
and
Followers
have
been
opposed
by
open
and
secret
Rebellion
;
so
that
though
there
hath
been
appearances
of
good
Things
now
and
then
,
yet
ever
and
anon
Clouds
and
Darkness
have
overshaddowed
the
Nations
again
,
and
the
good
Hopes
of
Faithful
People
have
been
driven
backwards
,
and
Reformation
stopped
,
and
your
own
Vows
,
Promises
,
and
Pretences
have
remained
unfulfilled
,
and
we
are
yet
an
Oppressed
People
:
and
the
Cause
of
this
hath
been
from
some
unfaithful
men
,
that
have
neglected
the
good
Work
of
the
Lord
,
once
intrusted
with
them
;
and
have
sought
themselves
,
and
their
own
Honours
and
Interests
,
and
have
sitten
down
at
Ease
and
Rest
in
the
Flesh
,
glorying
in
the
Spoil
of
their
Enemies
,
and
thereby
have
they
become
unfaithful
and
unprofitable
in
carrying
on
the
Lord's
Work
:
for
some
have
been
of
a
sincere
Mind
for
a
season
,
and
made
a
good
Progress
towards
the
attaining
a
Kingdom
of
Righteousness
,
and
the
removing
of
all
Oppressions
;
yet
when
they
have
begun
to
seek
themselves
in
this
World
,
and
to
take
unto
themselves
the
Honours
,
and
Titles
,
and
possessions
of
their
Enemies
(
whom
the
Lord
cast
out
before
them
)
and
so
have
become
guilty
of
their
Enemies
Sins
,
then
they
have
been
choaked
,
and
the
good
Work
of
the
Lord
by
them
could
not
prosper
,
but
it
hath
fallen
in
their
hands
even
because
of
their
Apostacy
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
removed
in
his
Wrath
,
which
to
you
all
may
be
Examples
,
that
ye
follow
not
their
steps
:
For
,
for
these
Causes
,
I
tell
you
,
hath
the
True
Reformation
been
turned
backward
,
and
the
Work
of
the
Lord
remained
unfinished
,
insomuch
that
Oppression
,
Injustice
and
Tyranny
yet
remains
upon
the
People
;
and
Ten
Thousand
lie
groaning
under
the
Yoak
and
Bondage
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Whore
(
the
false
Church
)
in
Persons
,
Estates
and
Consciences
;
and
are
ready
to
depart
out
of
all
good
Hope
and
Confidence
,
That
they
shall
never
see
,
through
you
,
the
finishing
of
that
long
since
begun
good
Work
of
Perfect
Reformation
,
and
Freedom
from
all
Oppressions
.
And
amongst
the
many
Great
Oppressions
and
Cruel
Burdens
,
yet
remaining
in
our
Nation
,
there
is
at
this
day
one
particular
Oppression
abounding
,
under
which
Thousands
of
the
free
People
of
the
Lord
,
&
of
these
Nations
,
lie
unjustly
suffering
in
their
Bodies
,
Estates
and
Consci●nces
(
to
wit
)
This
way
of
forced
Maintenance
of
the
Ministry
,
by
Tythes
,
and
Money
,
and
Yearly
Stipends
;
which
many
are
violently
forced
to
pay
,
through
Oppression
,
and
contrary
to
Equity
;
and
because
hereof
is
God
not
well-pleased
with
you
,
but
his
Wrath
is
kindled
already
;
for
the
Cry
of
the
Unjustly
Afflicted
under
this
one
Oppression
hath
entred
into
his
Ear
,
and
he
will
be
avenged
speedily
,
even
because
of
the
Oppression
of
his
People
in
this
very
particular
,
who
cannot
out
of
a
Good
Conscience
pay
Tythes
,
or
Money
,
or
any
other
thing
,
contrary
to
Equity
,
to
the
maintaining
of
this
Ministry
,
and
these
Ministers
,
which
they
receive
no
benefit
by
,
neither
are
under
their
Ministry
.
And
forasmuch
as
this
way
of
maintaining
Ministers
and
Ministry
by
Force
is
wholy
Antichristian
,
and
of
the
Whore
(
the
false
Church
)
and
never
was
in
the
true
Churches
of
Christ
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
;
neither
did
ever
Christ
,
or
his
Apostles
,
give
Institution
or
Example
for
such
way
of
Maintenance
to
Christ's
Ministers
:
but
being
that
this
way
of
forced
Maintenance
,
by
Tythes
,
and
Money
,
and
Yearly-Stipends
,
is
come
up
long
since
the
Apostles
dayes
;
and
is
the
very
Institution
of
the
false
Church
of
Rome
,
and
was
first
practized
by
her
Authority
in
our
Nation
;
and
by
the
same
Spirit
,
at
this
day
,
this
Oppression
remaineth
amongst
us
:
and
likewise
it
is
wholy
unreasonable
,
That
one
sort
of
people
should
be
compelled
to
maintain
anothers
Ministers
,
whom
they
do
not
hear
,
nor
receive
their
Ministry
:
And
also
,
this
way
of
maintenance
is
one
of
the
greatest
Oppressions
in
our
Nation
,
and
many
Hundreds
of
my
Brethren
have
suffered
great
Oppression
thereby
,
some
the
loss
of
Estates
,
and
many
the
loss
of
their
Liberties
,
&
some
the
loss
of
their
Lives
also
;
insomuch
that
this
Oppression
is
fully
ripe
to
be
cut
down
,
and
removed
out
of
our
Land
.
Wherefore
it
lies
upon
me
from
the
Lord
,
to
request
it
of
you
,
and
to
lay
it
upon
you
,
as
being
the
present
Authority
,
that
have
Power
to
do
it
;
That
you
speedily
order
the
removing
of
this
Oppression
of
forced
Maintenance
to
Ministers
out
of
the
Nation
,
and
that
no
man
henceforth
be
compelled
or
forced
to
maintain
Ministers
and
Ministry
,
by
Tythes
,
or
Money
,
or
otherwise
;
but
that
every
man
be
left
free
,
to
give
what
,
and
how
much
,
as
he
pleaseth
,
to
what
Minister
as
he
will
;
only
if
any
do
hire
a
Minister
,
and
promise
so
much
,
then
it
is
Equity
,
that
he
that
is
hired
have
the
benefit
of
the
Law
,
to
receive
what
he
is
promised
,
by
force
,
if
he
cannot
freely
:
But
let
not
any
people
be
forced
by
your
Law
to
hire
Ministers
,
neither
one
sort
to
maintain
another
peoples
Minister
;
but
let
every
sort
of
people
live
under
what
Ministry
,
and
hear
whom
they
please
,
and
also
maintain
their
own
Ministers
,
that
labour
for
them
:
and
this
is
reasonable
,
and
would
content
all
the
Faithful
People
;
for
it
is
wholy
unequal
,
that
any
people
should
be
forced
and
compelled
to
mantain
another
peoples
Minister
,
which
doth
no
work
for
them
;
and
it
is
also
wholy
inconsistent
with
the
good
Government
of
a
Common-wealth
,
and
absolute
contrary
to
Christian-Liberty
,
and
is
a
very
Chain
of
Antichrist
upon
the
good
People
;
and
the
main
Cause
of
Heart-burnings
,
and
Strifes
,
and
Envyings
among
Subjects
;
and
one
of
the
chief
Props
of
Deceivers
and
false
Ministers
,
that
covet
to
run
after
great
Benefices
,
and
care
not
for
Souls
;
and
also
,
the
God
of
Heaven
is
vexed
with
this
Abomination
;
and
it
is
certain
,
that
you
and
these
Nations
shall
never
be
established
in
true
and
perfect
Peace
and
Unity
,
while
this
Oppression
remaineth
,
nor
till
that
in
all
things
Conscience
be
let
free
to
the
Exercise
of
the
Spirit
of
God
.
Wherefore
I
am
come
to
your
door
on
the
behalf
of
the
Lord
,
&
all
his
People
,
and
I
cry
,
&
ten
thousand
with
me
(
in
Spirit
)
of
the
free
People
of
your
Nation
,
Let
this
Unreasonable
Oppressive
and
Antichristian
Practice
,
of
forcing
Maintenance
to
Ministers
,
be
speedily
removed
out
of
our
Land
,
and
let
the
Persons
,
Estates
and
Conscionces
of
your
faithful
Friends
be
freed
from
this
cruel
Burden
,
that
they
have
long
born
by
your
and
their
very
Enemies
:
And
also
I
lay
it
upon
you
,
that
you
clear
and
free
your selves
in
all
things
from
the
false
Church
,
and
be
not
Servants
to
her
;
drink
not
her
Cup
of
Fornications
,
neither
in
any
thing
carry
the
Whore
:
and
hereby
should
that
long
born
and
heavy
Yoak
of
Antichrist
be
removed
,
that
hath
laid
upon
the
good
People's
Persons
,
Estates
and
Consciences
;
and
false
Ministers
,
that
run
for
Hire
,
and
not
to
win
Souls
(
who
are
Oppressors
)
should
hereby
be
limitted
;
and
the
Faithful
Ministers
of
Christ
,
who
are
sent
of
him
,
would
be
the
more
encouraged
to
minister
freely
,
who
have
received
freely
;
and
this
would
be
the
way
to
bring
Blessings
and
Peace
amongst
us
,
and
to
rejoyce
the
Hearts
of
the
Righteous
,
and
to
stop
the
spirit
of
Oppression
;
and
hereby
you
would
be
made
Honourable
,
and
the
Lord
himself
glorified
,
and
his
People
a
free
People
:
So
that
for
these
Causes
it
is
upon
me
to
demand
it
of
you
,
that
you
remove
the
Oppression
aforesaid
,
of
forcing
Maintenance
for
Ministers
and
leave
every
sort
of
people
free
,
to
maintain
their
own
Ministers
,
as
the
Lord
shall
lead
them
.
For
this
was
the
Way
in
the
true
Churches
,
The
Ministers
'
of
Christ
did
eat
of
the
Milk
of
the
Flock
which
they
kept
,
and
of
the
Fruit
of
the
Vineyard
which
they
〈◊〉
planted
,
Freely
given
them
;
and
they
reaped
carnal
things
where
they
sowed
Spiritual
,
yet
as
a
Free
Gift
unto
them
,
and
not
by
Force
,
nor
as
a
Debt
:
for
this
way
of
forcing
Maintenance
was
never
in
beeing
among
the
true
Churches
;
but
is
of
the
false
Church
,
both
in
its
Original
,
and
in
its
standing
to
this
day
,
and
out
of
her
Cup
(
who
hath
made
Nations
drunk
)
hath
our
Nation
drunk
this
Abomin●tion
and
Oppression
;
and
it
is
the
remainder
,
and
one
of
the
strongest
parts
of
the
Whore
of
Rome
,
yet
left
in
England
,
and
it
is
full
time
to
be
removed
clean
away
from
us
,
and
if
you
do
it
,
then
shall
we
have
cause
to
believe
,
that
you
intend
well
to
the
Nations
,
and
our
long
decayed
Hopes
concerning
you
will
be
again
revived
,
and
our
Faith
will
be
encreased
,
that
you
will
yet
suffer
Righteousness
and
Mercy
to
flourish
,
if
you
take
off
every
Oppression
,
and
make
the
People
free
;
but
if
you
do
it
not
,
but
will
be
the
Imposers
of
Unrighteous
things
upon
the
People
under
you
,
and
will
carry
the
Whore
,
and
yet
drink
her
Cup
,
and
compel
others
to
drink
it
,
Then
the
Lord
will
break
you
to
pieces
,
and
bring
Freedom
to
this
Nation
some
other
way
;
and
you
,
and
they
,
and
the
Beast
,
and
the
Whore
,
and
your
Oppressious
,
shall
all
fall
together
,
and
sink
as
a
Stone
into
the
Sea
,
and
your
Remembrance
shall
be
blotted
out
,
and
perpetually
perish
:
and
these
are
the
Words
of
the
Lord
God
unto
you
,
wherefore
that
you
may
live
in
true
Honour
,
and
not
Perish
in
perpetual
Shame
;
and
that
the
Lord
may
bless
you
,
and
not
make
you
a
Curse
,
and
that
the
Lord's
People
may
pray
for
you
,
and
not
against
you
.
I
say
,
consider
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
with
a
willing
Mind
grant
this
my
Desire
;
and
in
so
doing
,
you
fulfil
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
and
thereby
be
established
over
all
your
Enemies
.
Many
things
more
on
the
Lord's
behalf
I
have
to
demand
of
you
,
but
this
for
present
;
from
a
Lover
of
Righteousness
,
and
a
Friend
to
this
Nation
,

A
MESSAGE
TO
THE
Present
Rulers
OF
ENGLAND
,
Whether
Committy
of
Safety
(
so
called
)
Council
of
Officers
,
or
Others
whatsoever
.
Delivered
unto
them
by
an
Ambassadour
from
the
only
right
Heir
of
the
Government
,
whose
Right
alone
it
is
to
Rule
:
And
by
special
Authority
and
Commission
from
him
,
this
is
sent
unto
them
,
that
they
may
hear
,
and
fear
,
and
learn
Wisdom
,
and
may
deliver
up
the
proper
Right
of
the
only
King
unto
him
,
that
they
may
be
blessed
;
but
on
the
contrary
dependeth
their
DESTRUCTION
.
THese
things
were
upon
me
to
deliver
,
even
by
Speech
and
word
of
Mouth
,
to
the
present
Men
in
Power
;
that
they
might
be
warned
,
lest
they
Perish
:
But
no
way
being
made
for
me
so
to
do
,
I
have
written
what
was
upon
me
,
even
as
short
as
possibly
I
could
,
and
in
as
little
compass
as
might
be
;
having
hinted
at
things
which
might
more
largely
been
spoken
to
.
And
I
order
this
to
be
Printed
,
and
given
to
their
particular
hands
with
speed
.
FRIENDS
,
MY
Master
is
a
High
,
and
Mighty
,
and
Powerful
Prince
,
and
very
Honourable
;
and
Fear
,
Reverence
,
Respect
and
Subjection
belongs
to
him
alone
,
from
you
and
all
Mankind
;
he
is
Wise
,
and
Understanding
,
and
of
great
Strength
;
and
his
Dominion
is
from
Everlasting
to
Everlasting
;
and
he
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
in
Heaven
and
Earth
;
for
he
rules
with
his
Iron
Rod
over
the
world
;
and
whatsoever
he
saith
,
it
is
done
;
for
his
Word
is
an
Everlasting
Command
;
If
he
saith
to
a
man
,
Live
,
it
is
so
;
if
he
saith
to
a
man
,
Dye
,
it
cometh
to
pass
;
and
if
he
give
Peace
to
a
Man
or
a
Nation
,
none
can
make
War
;
and
if
he
make
War
with
a
Person
,
or
in
a
Nation
,
no
man
is
able
to
make
Peace
:
For
why
?
he
hath
all
Power
in
his
Hand
,
and
to
him
all
Judgment
and
Authority
is
given
;
he
is
the
Son
of
the
Living
God
,
the
Everlasting
Creator
;
he
was
,
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
;
his
Eye
beholdeth
all
things
,
and
his
Arm
compasseth
Heaven
and
Earth
;
and
what
his
Purpo●●
is
,
he
hath
alwayes
,
and
will
ever
bring
it
to
pass
:
if
he
set
up
Rulers
,
they
must
Rule
;
and
if
he
pull
them
down
,
none
can
hinder
:
whom
he
will
,
he
Honoureth
;
and
if
it
be
his
Pleasure
,
he
bringeth
men
to
Shame
:
if
he
break
a
Nation
down
,
none
can
build
it
up
;
and
if
he
confound
Powers
and
Authorities
in
the
Kingdoms
of
men
,
they
all
fall
,
as
withered
Grass
before
him
:
●ehold
ye
men
!
He
is
so
Great
and
Mighty
,
and
of
so
great
Authority
,
that
whatsoever
he
saith
,
it
is
done
;
and
whatsoever
he
willeth
,
it
cometh
to
pass
;
and
none
is
able
to
resist
him
,
and
overcome
his
Power
,
when
his
Pleasure
is
to
accomplish
a
Work
:
by
him
all
things
are
that
be
,
and
all
things
live
that
have
Life
,
and
through
him
all
things
move
,
and
of
his
Fulness
every
Creature
in
Heaven
and
Earth
receive
.
And
this
,
my
Master
,
is
altogether
Honourable
in
Birth
,
and
otherwise
;
and
altogether
Mighty
in
all
his
Works
;
he
is
Just
and
Merciful
,
full
of
Goodness
,
Righteousness
and
Truth
;
all
Vertue
dwells
in
him
;
and
his
Judgement
and
Mercy
,
his
Authority
and
Meekness
,
and
his
Wrath
and
his
Love
,
they
are
Companions
:
And
what
are
ye
before
him
?
or
,
How
shall
ye
be
able
to
resist
him
,
or
to
turn
backward
what
his
Purpose
is
concerning
you
,
and
this
Nation
?
for
ye
have
no
Beeing
nor
Breath
without
him
.
Behold
ye
men
!
ye
are
verily
as
the
Dust
before
the
Wind
,
so
are
ye
to
him
,
soon
blown
away
,
and
your
Place
not
found
;
as
the
Grass
before
the
Mower
,
so
are
ye
before
him
,
soon
cut
down
,
and
withered
,
and
your
Beauty
utterly
extinguished
;
as
a
Potters
Vessel
under
an
Iron
Rod
,
even
so
are
you
to
him
,
he
can
immediately
break
you
,
never
to
be
bound
up
;
as
a
Drop
to
the
Fountain
,
so
are
you
to
him
,
soon
dryed
up
,
and
made
nothing
:
Wherefore
ye
Men
,
ye
Mortal
Creatures
,
ye
Ignorant
Persons
,
Sons
of
a
Transgressor
,
ye
Dust
and
Ashes
;
for
thus
you
are
in
comparison
of
him
,
this
Mighty
Prince
;
hearken
to
his
Message
,
which
cometh
to
you
from
him
;
Hear
and
Fear
,
and
be
not
Stout-hearted
against
the
Lord
God
,
that
is
about
to
speak
unto
you
.
As
for
this
little
Island
of
England
,
wherein
your
present
Place
and
Beeing
is
;
It
is
an
Island
which
the
Lord
hath
shewed
great
Favour
unto
,
in
Ages
past
,
and
in
this
present
Time
;
and
I
must
tell
you
,
he
hath
a
Purpose
of
Love
towards
it
,
and
to
Honour
it
in
the
view
of
the
World
,
though
through
great
Tribulations
;
and
he
hath
an
intent
of
great
Good
unto
it
:
For
he
hath
a
Seed
,
a
precious
Seed
in
it
,
scattered
abroad
,
and
he
hath
a
People
that
fear
his
Name
,
and
have
walked
in
his
Wayes
,
and
he
hath
made
them
,
and
elected
them
,
and
what
they
are
,
it
is
by
him
;
that
he
may
dwell
among
them
,
and
have
the
whole
Government
over
them
all
;
yea
he
hath
a
speedy
Purpose
verily
concerning
this
Nation
,
and
he
will
purifie
it
in
Judgment
,
and
refine
its
Inhabitants
through
the
Fire
of
Tribulations
,
that
it
may
be
pleasant
to
him
,
and
fit
to
do
his
Will
:
He
hath
a
purpose
to
work
some
great
thing
in
it
,
I
must
tell
you
,
as
he
hath
said
unto
me
so
to
do
;
He
will
have
his
Name
exalted
and
reverenced
in
this
Island
,
and
his
Terror
shall
be
sent
out
of
it
through
the
World
,
and
his
Branch
from
it
shall
spread
over
the
Earth
;
he
doth
purpose
in
his
season
to
take
it
into
his
own
hand
,
and
to
sway
the
Government
thereof
with
his
own
Scepter
,
and
to
set
up
Righteousness
alone
,
and
to
overthrow
all
Oppressions
and
Oppressors
;
and
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
must
become
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
his
Christ
.
True
it
is
,
Such
hath
been
the
coming
to
pass
of
Time
,
and
of
Things
,
for
many
Ages
by
past
,
that
my
Master
hath
been
as
it
were
banished
from
the
Nation
,
and
hath
not
been
suffered
to
enjoy
his
Right
;
but
hath
been
expelled
,
even
as
it
were
by
the
force
of
Satan
and
Antichrist
,
who
hath
long
usurped
Authority
over
the
Inhabirants
of
this
Nation
:
and
in
my
Master's
absence
,
Lamentable
Injustice
,
Cruelty
,
Unmercifulness
,
Tyranny
and
Oppression
,
hath
been
exercised
upon
the
Inhabitants
;
and
the
poor
Creatures
have
been
held
in
great
Slavery
by
their
Rulers
,
that
have
ruled
by
the
Dragon's
power
,
and
been
kept
in
great
Blindness
and
Ignorance
,
and
under
great
Oppression
,
both
in
Body
and
Spirit
,
by
Antichristian
Teachers
,
for
this
many
Years
,
even
while
the
great
King
hath
been
absent
,
and
as
it
were
gone
into
a
far
Country
;
even
all
this
time
hath
Antichrist
and
the
Devil
ruled
and
reigned
,
and
hath
made
and
executed
Oppressing
and
Tyrannical
Laws
and
Decrees
,
both
in
Church
and
State
;
and
all
the
Nation
hath
been
out
of
right
Order
,
and
laid
waste
and
barren
of
good
Fruit
,
and
it
hath
been
as
a
Wilderness
by
reason
hereof
:
and
men
that
have
ruled
for
many
years
,
have
not
ruled
singly
by
my
Master's
Authority
,
but
by
another
power
,
though
not
without
the
knowledge
of
my
Lord
,
neither
as
though
he
had
not
Power
to
have
done
otherwise
;
but
for
his
own
Pleasure
he
hath
suffered
it
thus
to
be
,
and
let
men
go
on
to
rule
and
govern
in
their
own
Wills
,
and
after
their
own
Lusts
;
and
people
have
walked
wickedly
towards
him
,
and
towards
one
another
;
and
all
this
he
hath
suffered
,
not
as
if
he
gave
Toleration
for
it
;
for
his
Messengers
now
and
then
,
and
his
Witness
in
peoples
Consciences
,
have
been
reproving
their
Ungodly
wayes
,
and
he
hath
often
shewed
his
dislike
,
by
divers
Wayes
and
Tokens
,
and
many
Judgments
,
and
strange
Overturning
,
to
the
way
and
proceeding
of
both
Rulers
,
Prophets
and
Teachers
of
this
Nation
;
but
yet
they
have
gone
on
against
his
Mind
,
and
contrary
to
his
Will
,
notwithstanding
his
Reproofs
and
Judgments
,
not
that
he
had
not
Power
to
have
executed
his
Pleasure
in
Wrath
upon
them
,
and
to
have
destroyed
them
altogether
,
and
have
made
the
Nation
a
Heap
,
and
as
nothing
long
before
this
day
;
for
Power
was
in
his
Hand
to
have
done
it
:
But
he
hath
been
Long-suffering
,
and
of
great
Patience
,
and
born
all
things
,
and
taken
the
Injustice
,
and
Cruelty
,
and
Wickedness
,
and
Idolatry
,
and
all
Unrighteousness
,
that
hath
abounded
in
the
Nation
,
upon
himself
,
and
suffered
under
it
,
and
born
it
for
its
season
,
while
woful
and
lamentable
Oppressions
have
been
practised
in
Civil
State
even
Hellish
Laws
,
and
Devilish
Executors
of
them
;
Merciless
Tyrants
have
born
the
Scepter
,
and
reigned
for
many
years
over
the
Inhabitants
,
and
in
Church
and
State
has
bin
Hainous
Idolatry
and
Superstitious
Vanities
committed
in
a
high
nature
and
measure
,
and
even
all
Men
,
and
States
of
Men
,
and
Orders
of
Men
of
every
degree
have
been
abominably
corrupted
in
the
Sight
of
my
Lord
,
even
from
the
Pri●ce
to
the
Beggar
,
even
Rulers
and
Subjects
,
Teachers
and
People
,
Judges
and
Prophets
;
they
have
been
corrupted
both
in
heart
and
hand
,
and
they
have
dealt
falsly
and
wickedly
towards
him
,
and
towards
one
another
,
even
to
the
great
Displeasure
and
Vexation
of
him
and
his
blessed
Spirit
,
and
to
the
high
Provocation
of
him
to
their
own
Destruction
,
if
his
Long-Suffering
had
not
prevailed
;
and
all
this
while
he
hath
laid
as
it
were
asleep
,
and
at
rest
in
himself
:
and
he
hath
left
men
to
try
them
,
what
they
will
do
,
and
he
hath
gives
them
a
Day
;
many
Kings
and
Rulers
he
hath
let
them
have
a
little
time
,
to
see
how
they
would
use
it
,
but
they
have
abused
it
,
and
not
ruled
for
him
,
nor
accomplished
his
Work
,
nor
fulfilled
his
Will
;
but
acted
even
in
defiance
of
him
,
and
of
his
Power
,
and
to
his
great
Dishonour
.
Alack
!
I
must
be
plain
with
you
;
My
Lord
hath
been
utterly
exiled
,
and
greatly
dishonoured
,
and
highly
provoked
and
vexed
by
reason
of
such
proceedings
,
as
have
been
in
this
Nation
for
this
many
years
,
through
the
Corruption
of
all
sorts
of
Men
in
Place
and
Power
,
who
have
not
ruled
for
him
,
but
for
the
Devil
,
to
their
own
corrupted
Ends
;
only
he
hath
suffered
men
to
go
on●in
their
▪
course
for
a
season
;
some
as
it
were
,
appearing
on
the
Stage
for
a
time
,
and
suddenly
cast
down
again
for
their
Iniquities
sake
;
and
his
Hand
hath
been
in
all
these
things
,
though
very
privately
and
secertly
,
not
known
and
discerned
by
the
Sons
of
Men
,
yet
hath
he
ruled
over
the
Kingdoms
of
Men
,
and
pulled
down
one
,
and
set
up
another
.
And
to
for
bear
the
several
Actings
and
Proceedings
,
of
many
by-passed
Ages
,
and
to
come
to
this
Generation
,
and
to
speak
of
things
that
have
happened
within
these
few
years
,
and
of
the
changing
and
overturning
that
hath
happened
in
this
Nation
;
such
was
the
Cruelty
,
Tyranny
,
Oppression
and
Idolatry
,
both
in
Church
and
Civil
State
,
that
the
people
of
this
Nation
were
held
under
,
in
the
dayes
of
Papal-Power
;
such
,
I
say
,
was
the
exceeding
heighth
of
Cruelty
and
Tyranny
of
that
time
,
that
not
any
that
Feared
or
Reverenced
my
Lord
,
in
any
measure
,
could
scarce
live
,
or
have
a
Beeing
in
the
Nation
;
even
against
every
man
,
that
did
but
in●line
towards
him
,
and
desire
the
Knowledge
of
his
Wayes
,
Hell's
Mouth
was
opened
against
them
,
and
they
were
swallowed
up
,
and
many
of
their
Lives
taken
from
the
Earth
,
by
the
hellish
power
that
had
in
that
day
usurped
Authority
in
this
Island
;
and
when
thus
it
was
,
then
he
looked
down
from
Heaven
,
and
his
bowels
of
compassion
were
opened
,
for
the
sake
of
the
oppressed
People
that
desired
after
him
,
in
so
much
that
he
broke
,
and
threw
down
the
power
of
their
Oppressors
in
some
measure
,
as
it
stood
in
Papall
Authority
,
and
when
the
iniquity
of
that
power
was
filled
up
,
he
took
vengeance
upon
it
;
and
I
must
tell
you
,
it
was
he
that
brought
it
about
,
even
the
destroying
of
that
Power
in
this
Nation
,
and
freeing
the
Nation
from
it
,
though
the
men
that
were
instruments
in
the
cause
were
not
his
Servants
,
otherwise
then
as
Nebuchadnezzar
served
him
,
for
he
hath
a
secret
way
to
have
a
service
from
the
wicked
,
and
such
is
his
Power
,
that
he
can
turn
the
wickedness
of
the
wicked
to
his
glory
,
and
he
can
make
a
Rod
to
whipp
his
Adversaries
,
and
burn
it
when
he
hath
done
,
and
he
●ath
often
destroyed
one
wickedness
by
another
.
Well
,
But
to
leave
that
,
though
he
did
in
some
measure
free
the
Nation
from
much
Tyranny
and
Cruelty
,
in
the
casting
out
Popish
Authority
;
yet
a
lack
!
the
Nation
in
a
few
years
was
near
as
much
violated
by
Injustice
and
Cruelty
,
under
the
succeeding
Power
,
as
ever
it
was
once
under
the
Papal-Power
;
though
before
there
had
been
some
small
Reformation
,
and
Change
in
outward
Appearance
,
though
little
in
ground
and
Nature
;
yet
Oppression
,
and
Idolatry
,
and
Superstition
●in
Church
and
State
,
and
all
Prophaneness
and
Wickedness
among
people
,
was
grown
so
high
,
like
as
it
had
been
under
the
Papal
Power
before
;
and
all
that
desired
after
the
Lord
,
and
were
weary
of
Iniquity
,
and
of
the
then
present
Oppressions
and
Idolatries
,
were
Persecuted
,
and
Slain
,
and
destroyed
,
and
Injustice
and
Cruelty
exercised
upon
them
,
even
almos●
to
to
the
rooting
out
of
Righteousness
,
and
to
the
grieving
of
the
Lord's
Spirit
:
Well
then
,
because
of
the
cry
of
the
People
,
and
the
Oppression
of
the
Nation
under
that
Authority
,
my
Lord
looked
down
again
,
and
even
for
his
Name
's
sake
,
and
for
his
Seed's
sake
,
he
had
compassion
on
this
Nation
,
to
set
it
free
,
and
to
break
off
its
Oppressions
;
and
in
a
great
measure
he
did
deliver
the
people
of
this
Nation
in
many
things
,
and
there
was
a
part
of
Reformation
wrought
,
and
much
pretended
and
looked
for
;
and
all
this
came
to
pass
through
him
,
and
my
Lord
did
accomplish
it
,
however
the
Instruments
by
which
he
wrought
proved
deceitful
,
and
became
Oppressors
,
as
others
before
them
;
and
though
there
was
in
this
Nation
a
day
of
great
Troubles
,
and
Wars
,
and
Contention
,
and
great
Strife
,
and
the
wasting
of
much
Blood
,
and
earthly
Treasure
;
and
none
of
these
things
,
I
must
tell
you
,
fell
without
the
ordering
of
my
Master's
Hand
;
yet
so
it
was
,
and
came
to
pass
,
that
after
this
Nation
was
restored
to
Peace
,
though
much
Unrighteousness
and
Injustice
was
removed
,
yet
there
was
much
also
left
behind
;
and
men
that
he
had
used
as
Instrument
in
his
Hand
,
in
a
good
Work
,
and
to
whom
he
had
given
Wisdom
and
Understanding
,
and
appeared
in
much
Mercy
and
in
great
Deliverance
;
yet
they
even
turned
to
seek
themselves
,
and
became
corrupted
in
the
Spoils
of
their
Enemies
,
and
when
Peace
and
Plenty
abounded
the
Lord
was
forgotten
again
,
and
then
the
Land
fell
under
Oppressors
,
and
began
again
to
cry
out
for
Freedom
,
even
when
other
Horns
of
the
first
Beast
sprang
up
,
and
went
on
each
of
them
after
his
Fellow
;
and
though
one
Horn
hath
striven
to
break
another
,
yet
after
one
hath
been
cast
down
,
another
hath
risen
,
and
made
an
Image
to
the
first
,
and
ruled
and
reigned
by
the
same
spirit
and
authority
,
derived
from
the
Dragon's
power
,
in
Cruelty
and
Oppression
,
and
made
Laws
,
and
executed
them
to
the
Dishonour
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
the
great
Oppression
of
his
People
,
and
to
the
filling
of
this
Island
with
Injustice
and
Cruelty
,
even
from
one
Generation
to
another
,
until
this
day
:
and
thus
up
and
down
have
Times
and
Seasons
been
altered
,
Powers
and
Authority
changed
and
altered
,
Statutes
,
Laws
and
Decrees
changeable
and
alterable
;
for
as
the
Iniquity
of
one
Power
was
filled
up
▪
that
was
cast
down
,
and
another
had
its
Day
,
till
the
measure
of
the
first
was
also
filled
up
,
that
he
might
partake
of
the
same
Iudgements
.
And
in
all
these
Overturnings
,
breakings-down
and
Overthrowings
,
the
very
Hand
of
my
Lord
hath
been
,
though
secretly
,
and
not
discerned
,
yet
his
Power
hath
brought
about
,
and
suffered
all
these
things
to
come
to
pass
;
and
who
shall
charge
him
with
Injustice
?
or
,
who
shall
say
,
What
hast
thou
done
?
or
,
Why
hast
thou
done
it
?
For
,
as
I
have
said
,
He
is
a
High
and
Mighty
Prince
,
and
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
;
and
he
is
the
Supream
Power
and
Authority
,
which
rules
and
reigns
in
and
over
all
the
Kingdoms
of
Men.
And
what
though
he
hath
used
wicked
men
,
as
an
Instrument
,
to
accomplish
his
Work
,
and
made
the
Wicked
his
Rod
,
and
even
brought
it
to
pass
,
that
one
Wickedness
should
destroy
another
,
and
one
Oppressor
break
down
another
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Antichrist
confound
it self
;
yet
what
of
all
these
things
?
All
Flesh
must
be
silent
before
him
,
and
all
People
,
and
the
whole
Earth
must
be
subject
unto
him
;
for
the
Government
and
Dominion
over
Heaven
and
Earth
is
his
,
and
all
Power
and
Dominion
belongeth
to
him
alone
,
and
all
Judgment
is
in
his
Hand
,
to
bring
to
pass
whatsoever
he
will
,
and
by
whomsoever
,
as
he
pleaseth
.
But
now
,
my
Friends
,
Though
I
would
not
he
tedious
to
you
,
yet
must
I
tell
you
the
Truth
,
and
faithfully
deliver
the
Lord's
Message
unto
you
;
and
as
concerning
this
last
Overturning
,
there
was
something
of
the
Hand
of
my
Lord
in
it
;
and
he
can
,
and
will
bring
forth
his
own
Work
and
Praise
by
it
,
and
it
shall
be
for
the
Good
of
all
his
People
,
that
wait
upon
him
,
though
there
was
much
Ambition
and
corrupted
Ends
in
the
Instruments
,
and
neither
part
were
perfectly
single
to
the
Lord
in
their
proceedings
;
but
their
work
was
tasted
with
the
False
Idolatrous
spirit
of
Self-seeking
:
Yet
notwithstanding
,
the
Lord
may
bring
forth
his
Government
,
and
his
pleasant
Plant
,
through
and
beyond
all
this
,
even
out
of
another
Root
,
which
yet
appears
not
among
either
of
them
;
and
Righteousness
may
arise
in
the
Nation
,
contrary
to
both
of
them
,
out
of
another
Stem
,
and
he
will
set
up
his
Kingdom
;
and
in
the
mean
time
,
leave
one
Potsherd
of
the
Earth
to
break
another
.
And
as
for
you
,
that
now
sit
on
the
Throne
,
and
bear
Rule
,
whether
Committy
Is
meant
here
,
chiefly
,
the
new
Committee
of
Safety
(
so
called
.
)
of
Safety
(
so
called
)
chiefly
,
though
it
is
not
without
my
Master
;
for
he
hath
the
knowledge
of
it
,
at
least
;
yet
you
are
not
the
only
men
of
his
choice
,
truly
called
of
him
to
the
Place
of
Government
,
neither
is
your
Government
the
Government
of
the
Lamb
,
neither
must
it
be
forever
established
by
him
;
its
Foundation
is
not
Blessed
,
nor
can
its
Building
be
prosperous
:
For
why
?
Alas
,
it
is
but
another
Horn
of
that
fourth
Beast
,
that
hath
been
made
to
rule
over
the
World
,
and
upon
the
Earth
for
many
Generations
,
and
it
is
but
hitherto
a
very
little
refined
from
the
last
,
and
is
of
the
last
,
even
as
the
Eighth
was
of
the
Seventh
,
spoken
of
by
that
Servant
,
Rev.
17.
11.
and
it
may
also
make
War
with
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
for
a
little
season
,
and
it
may
have
a
small
measure
of
Injustice
and
Persecution
to
bring
forth
in
the
Land
,
even
till
the
Words
of
God
be
fulfilled
,
and
his
Kingdom
be
fully
come
;
the
way
of
which
is
but
yet
preparing
by
all
these
Overturnings
:
and
this
your
present
Government
originally
is
leavened
with
the
spirit
of
the
old
Dragon
,
that
hath
killed
the
Saints
,
and
drunk
their
Blood
,
and
how
should
the
Lord
establish
it
?
Nay
,
your
Kingd●●
may
prove
but
small
and
little
,
and
full
of
Uproars
and
Troubles
,
and
little
〈◊〉
and
Satisfaction
and
Establishment
in
it
to
your selves
,
nor
the
People
under
you
;
〈◊〉
Confusion
will
attend
it
,
and
Fears
will
compass
it
about
:
Though
this
I
must
tell
you
,
as
you
are
men
,
You
have
your
Day
of
Tryal
,
what
you
will
do
,
as
many
●●●ers
have
had
before
you
;
and
something
you
may
and
ought
to
do
,
if
but
to
make
the
Whore
(
the
false
Church
)
more
naked
,
and
to
scourge
her
,
more
then
some
others
have
done
;
and
indeed
my
Lord
requires
something
more
of
you
(
as
such
)
to
do
,
then
others
before
you
could
do
;
and
you
have
a
Price
〈◊〉
into
your
hands
,
which
you
may
improve
to
the
Lord's
Honour
,
and
to
the
Nations
Good
,
and
to
your
own
Happiness
;
which
if
you
be
faithful
to
the
Lord
,
to
do
what
he
requires
of
you
,
and
if
you
become
meek
and
humble
men
,
and
●●●r
his
Name
,
and
deny
your selves
,
and
not
seek
your
own
Honours
,
nor
●●y
●●rthly
Advantage
to
your selves
;
if
you
do
thus
,
then
my
Lord
will
shew
Mercy
to
you
,
and
you
shall
not
suddenly
fall
before
your
Enemies
,
though
many
may
〈◊〉
up
against
you
;
but
your
dayes
shall
be
leng●hened
,
and
the
Purpose
of
〈◊〉
●●●d
may
be
turned
to
your
longer
continuance
,
and
not
to
your
sudd●n
D●…ion
;
and
if
you
walk
in
this
Way
,
and
Rule
only
for
the
Lord
,
then
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
be
hoaoured
as
men
,
if
not
as
an
Authority
,
and
you
and
the
Nation
〈◊〉
in
Peace
,
and
the
force
of
the
wick●d
shall
be
turned
backward
,
and
〈◊〉
shall
not
suddenly
fall
And
the
late
sundry
Overturnings
in
this
Nation
●●y
be
Examples
to
you
,
that
you
follow
●●t
the
steps
of
those
that
God
hath
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
lest
you
come
to
the
same
end
of
Confusion
and
Misery
:
For
,
as
con●●●●ing
that
Assembly
of
Men
,
that
last
sate
on
the
Throne
,
something
was
do●●
by
them
in
their
day
and
time
,
and
in
both
their
Assemblings
,
in
some
things
they
served
my
Lord
,
and
they
were
a
Rod
in
his
Hand
to
smite
his
Enemies
;
yet
they
were
not
faithful
to
the
End
;
till
all
his
Enemies
were
destroyed
▪
but
rather
joyned
themselves
to
fight
against
the
Lord
and
his
People
,
and
were
●…ing
on
towards
the
way
of
Oppression
and
Persecution
;
and
it
was
time
for
the
Lord
to
remove
them
,
and
to
lay
them
aside
,
as
an
empty
Vessel
,
sometime
useful
;
and
to
break
them
as
a
Rod
,
some
time
of
service
to
be
a
Scourge
upo●
his
Enemies
▪
and
when
the
Day
of
their
▪
Tryal
was
over
,
which
God
g●●e
unto
them
,
being
any
longer
(
for
present
)
unfit
Instruments
for
his
Hand
,
then
he
cast
them
into
the
Fire
;
and
this
his
Purpose
came
to
pass
upon
them
:
so
that
they
and
the
whole
Nation
may
be
contented
,
and
yield
themselves
subject
to
what
he
hath
done
concerning
them
;
for
they
being
entring
into
the
very
same
s●●rit
of
Wickedness
,
of
Oppression
and
Persecution
,
which
the
Lord
had
once
reproved
●●●ough
them
,
and
cast
out
by
them
;
then
was
a
R●d
raised
up
against
them
,
even
as
they
had
been
against
others
,
and
they
were
dealt
withal
as
they
had
done
to
●●●ers
;
and
this
was
in
the
Justice
of
my
Lord's
Hand
;
And
what
hath
Mortal
M●●
to
question
his
Proceedings
?
And
though
some
of
you
(
present
Rulers
)
be
looked
upon
as
great
Traytors
and
Tyrants
in
your
dealing
towards
them
;
and
doubtless
the
men
of
that
part
will
seek
Vengeance
against
you
,
even
by
pre●c●ing
and
〈◊〉
,
and
they
will
curse
you
in
the
Name
of
their
God
,
and
seek
continually
yo●●
destruction
,
as
such
as
have
taken
away
part
of
their
strength
,
and
cast
down
their
〈◊〉
;
but
alas
!
all
this
is
nothing
;
for
the
Lord
doth
not
account
as
men
:
For
these
things
must
needs
thus
come
to
pass
,
for
the
furtherance
of
the
Kingdom
and
Government
of
Iesus
Christ
,
that
it
may
arise
through
all
;
and
if
you
were
but
faithful
to
what
the
Lord
requires
of
you
,
in
your
proceedings
,
what
you
have
done
●●to
them
should
not
be
reckoned
on
account
against
you
,
neither
by
God
,
nor
good
Men.
But
and
if
you
of
the
Army
be
alwayes
Treacherous
and
Diso●edient
towards
him
,
and
abuse
your
Power
,
and
dis-regard
your
Price
,
that
God
hath
given
you
,
and
trifle
away
your
Hour
about
Places
of
Honour
,
and
such
self-seeking
matters
,
and
the
Cause
of
God
be
neglected
by
you
,
and
his
People
continued
Oppressed
Sufferers
under
you
,
as
they
have
long
been
;
Even
then
shall
you
be
cast
aside
with
shameful
Disgrace
,
and
the
heavy
Hand
of
the
Lord
shall
be
upon
you
in
Iudgment
,
and
you
shall
be
smitten
more
then
any
before
y●●
;
your
Estates
shall
not
be
spared
from
the
Spoiler
,
nor
your
Souls
from
the
Pit
,
nor
y●…
Persons
from
the
Violence
of
Men
,
no
,
nor
your
Necks
from
the
Axe
:
for
if
you
be
unfaithful
,
and
continually
Treacherous
to
the
Cause
of
God
,
then
shall
you
be
left
to
the
Will
of
your
Enemies
,
and
they
shall
charge
Treachery
and
Treason
upon
you
,
and
your
Persons
and
Estates
shall
be
given
for
a
Prey
to
your
Enemies
;
and
you
shall
〈◊〉
deliver
your selves
,
neither
will
the
Lord
deliver
you
from
the
Execution
of
Merciless
Men
;
for
my
Lord
shall
leave
the
Cruel-hearted
to
plead
with
you
.
Wherefore
that
you
may
be
warned
,
I
advise
you
to
be
faithful
,
let
not
the
Cause
of
God
fall
,
nor
the
Cause
of
his
Enemies
prosper
before
you
;
for
there
is
no
other
way
whereby
you
can
be
preserved
,
nor
no
other
Defence
shall
you
ever
find
from
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
Fury
of
you
Devouring
Enemies
,
then
your
Faithfulness
in
God's
Cause
;
and
therefore
relieve
the
Oppressed
,
and
take
off
all
Oppressions
,
break
down
all
unjust
Laws
,
and
set
all
People
free
from
unjust
Burdens
,
and
let
all
Oppressions
cease
,
both
in
Church
and
Civil
State
;
and
even
all
Oppressive
Laws
,
and
Unjust
Judges
,
and
Evil
Men
in
Power
,
let
all
this
be
removed
,
and
the
Nation
clean
quitted
and
discharged
even
from
all
Men
and
Laws
whatsoever
,
that
have
held
under
Oppression
the
Persons
,
Estates
and
Consciences
of
the
Good
People
of
this
Land
;
and
let
the
Nation
be
corrected
,
and
all
Orders
and
Places
of
men
,
and
Laws
,
and
Decrees
be
purified
;
for
this
my
Lord
,
the
Great
King
,
requireth
,
and
he
will
suddenly
have
it
brought
to
pass
in
the
Nation
,
if
not
by
you
,
then
contrary
to
you
,
and
to
your
utter
Destruction
:
and
this
is
the
very
subst●●ce
of
my
Message
to
you
,
that
my
Master
hath
given
me
to
say
unto
you
;
and
on
his
behalf
I
am
come
to
claim
of
you
my
Master
's
long
lost
Right
;
let
him
have
his
Right
,
from
which
he
hath
long
been
banished
,
I
demand
it
of
you
,
all
ye
whatsoever
,
that
seem
to
bear
rule
in
the
Nation
;
I
charge
you
in
his
Name
,
let
him
have
his
Title
and
Prerogative
,
let
him
be
Lord
and
King
wholy
in
his
own
Kingdom
,
let
him
have
the
Exercise
of
his
People's
Consciences
by
his
own
Spirit
in
all
things
related
to
his
Worship
and
Service
,
and
let
him
have
the
full
Authority
by
his
Spirit
in
all
things
pertaining
to
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Faith
and
Religion
;
and
let
his
Spirit
have
the
alone
Authority
to
perswade
and
diswade
People
from
or
to
such
or
such
Ministry
,
Worship
and
Practices
of
Religion
;
and
let
all
forced
Maintenance
to
Ministers
,
and
Tythes
,
be
speedily
taken
away
;
and
let
all
Laws
and
Decrees
whatsoever
,
made
and
practized
in
the
days
of
Antichrist
upon
the
Bodies
,
Estates
and
Consciences
of
the
People
,
in
Oppression
and
Unjustness
about
Church
,
and
Worship
and
Religion
,
be
utterly
repealed
,
and
made
void
,
and
never
more
be
in
force
in
this
Nation
:
But
let
my
Lord
be
sole
Ruler
and
Governour
,
and
have
the
full
Authority
in
his
own
Kingdom
,
in
all
things
whatsoever
pertaining
thereunto
;
and
let
no
man
henceforth
hereafter
be
intrusted
with
the
Liberties
of
the
Members
of
Christ's
Kingdom
,
as
they
are
such
,
nor
to
judge
over
them
in
any
matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
,
but
give
that
Right
and
Priviledge
wholy
unto
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ
;
for
unto
him
onely
it
pertaineth
,
to
be
whole
Judge
,
and
to
have
full
Power
in
his
own
Kingdom
,
and
until
you
give
him
the
Right
,
and
deliver
up
unto
him
his
own
Kingdom
,
and
the
Exercise
of
Peoples
Consciences
in
all
things
about
RELIGION
,
you
shall
never
Prosper
,
nor
none
that
cometh
after
you
,
that
shall
in
any
measure
abridge
my
Master
of
his
proper
RIGHT
,
from
which
he
hath
long
been
Banished
,
as
I
have
said
;
and
till
his
Right
be
given
him
,
in
the
case
aforesaid
,
He
will
dash
one
man
against
another
,
and
none
shall
ever
be
established
,
but
Horn
after
Horn
shall
be
broken
,
and
one
Power
after
another
brought
into
C●●●●sion
.
And
therefore
,
ye
men
,
Do
not
strive
with
him
in
this
matter
,
but
yield
unto
〈◊〉
the
Exercise
of
your
own
Consciences
by
his
Spirit
in
you
,
and
let
him
do
〈◊〉
●●to
all
others
,
even
as
ye
hope
to
prosper
,
and
upon
the
Penalty
of
his
sore
D●●●leasure
upon
you
in
this

in

let
J●●●
Men

and
Men
that
have
the
Fear

Wisdom
of
God
in

,
without
Exceptation
of
Birth
,
or
otherwise
;
〈◊〉
such
men
have
the
Power
and
Judgment
committed
to
them
,
to
determine
in
things
between
Man
and
Man
.
Down
with
all
the
false-hearted
Flatterers

that
〈◊〉
ruled
for
Man
,

not

God
,
and
for

,
and
not

cast

for
the

choaked
by
them
:
Down
with
all

Hireling

that
execute

And
down

places
of

without
so
large
Stipends
;
away
with
all
these

out
of
the
Land
;
for
they
are
hainous
Oppressions
unto
men
,
and
great
Abo●…ons
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
and
the
Land
hath
long
groaned
under
the
w●ight
and
burden
of
these
things
,
and
the
Earth
is
weary
of
them

and
my
Lord
●…iers
their
utter
Dissolution

as
being
Iniquities
fully
ripe

and
having
the
g●il●
of
so
much
Cruelty
,
Injustice
and
Oppression
lying
upon
the
Nation
because
hereof
,
therefore
is
the
Lord's
season
to
destroy
them
,
and
remove
them
out
of
the
Land
;
which
if
you
he
the
Instruments
in
such
a
Work
,
it
will
be
your
greatest
Crown
,
and
your
perpetual
Honour
;
for
the
Lord's
Purpose
is
〈◊〉
●●y
or
other
to
cleanse
the
Land
of
all
these
,
and
other
Oppression
whatsoever
,
that
the
People
of
this
Land
may
be
a
free
People
,
from
all
the
heavy
Y●…
of
Antichrist
,
which
have
long
sorely
pressed
them
down
;
and
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
is
,
to
break
the
Yoaks
of
Oppression
and
Tyranny
,
from
off
the
Necks
of
this
People

and
therefore
it
is
that
he
overturneth
,
yea
,

will
overturn
all
Men
and
Authorities
that
shall
oppose
his
Work
,
and
none
shall
be
〈◊〉
to
stand
before
him
;
for
the
Presence
of
my
Lord
is
more
dreadful
to
a
Nation
,
when
he
shews
himself
in
Wrath
,
then
any
Multitude
of
Armed
Men
:
and
Wo
is
unto
you
,
if
you
be
found
opposing
of
him
;
and
if
you
seek
to
stop
his
Work
,
you
shall
not
cumber
the
Earth
very
long
,
nor
oppress
the

ma●●
〈◊〉
.
Wherefore
consider
,
Cursed
will
you
be
,
if
you
be
unfaithful
in
what
〈◊〉
have
to
do
on
the
Lord's
behalf
;
for
your
Hour
passeth
ever
,
that
is
alotted
you
,
and
will
be
suddenly
expired
,
never
to
be
recalled
,
and
then
you
cannot
work
.
And
whereas
there
is
a
great
Cry
about
Ministry
,
For
sending
forth
,
and
Main●…ng
,
and
Encouraging
a
Godly
Ministry
,
as
you
say
.
Now
to
this
I
do
answer
on
my
Lord's
behalf
,
and
I
must
tell
you
plainly
;
As
for
a
true
Godly
Ministry
,
truly
called
and
s●nt
of
God
,
such
a
Ministry
and
such
Mi●isters
you
can
never
be
able
to
hinder
;
but
the
Lord
will
send
them
out
,
●●●●taining
them
and
preserving
them
,
whether
you
will
or
no
;
and
while
you
are
●●●●bling
your selves
about
such
a
matter
,
you
are
but
meddling
with
things
above
your
Line
,
and
out
of
your
Jurisdiction
,
while
you
act
in
such
a
case
;
〈◊〉
it
belongs
to
his
Goverment
,
to
send
out
Ministers
,
whom
,
and
as
he
will
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
maintain
them
and
defend
them
according
to
his
own
Pleasure
,
and
all
this
without
you
;
for
such
Ministers
,
truly
called
thereunto
,
and
sent
of
the
Lord
,
will
not
seek
to
you
to
be
sent
forth
,
or
maintained
by
you
,
they
will
not
be
beholding
to
you
in
such
a
case
;
but
even
without
you
,
and
contrary
to
you
must
they
be
sent
out
,
and
maintained
:
So
that
the
Lord
will
have
a
Ministry
in
this
Nation
purely
of
his
own
,
and
not
of
Man
,
nor
by
Man
,
and
such
a
Ministry
you
shall
not
be
able
to
hinder
.
And
I
must
tell
you
plainly
,
As
for
these
men
,
called
Ministers
,
in
this
Nation
,
the
way
of
their
setting
up
,
and
sending
forth
;
and
the
way
of
their
Maintenance
,
and
the
way
of
their
standing
and
Defence
,
and
in
every
particular
of
their
being
such
,
they
are
the
greatest
and
most
woful
Oppression
in
the
Nation
,
even
the
most
Abominable
and
unjust
Cruelties
and
Tyrannies
is
acted
through
them
,
as
any
other
thing
in
the
Nation
;
and
they
are
(
as
such
aforesaid
)
the
woful
Cause
of
the
Nations
Groaning
under
Merciless
Dealing
;
and
there
is
upon
their
account
the
Guilt
of
Blood
,
Injustice
and
Oppression
lying
upon
this
Nation
;
their
Inqiuities
,
their
Iniquities
cry
for
Vengeance
upon
their
own
heads
;
for
they
are
full
,
they
are
full
,
and
the
measure
thereof
is
near
finished
,
and
God's
Eternal
Vengeance
is
their
next
Reward
,
from
the
Eternal
God
.
What
shall
I
say
of
them
,
but
this
?
The
Earth
is
oppressed
by
them
,
the
Inhabitants
groan
under
them
,
and
the
Righteous
God
is
vexed
through
them
,
and
they
are
the
very
men
of
high
Indignation
and
fierce
Wrath
,
and
all
their
Practices
(
as
such
)
are
the
Fewel
of
his
Anger
,
to
be
consumed
by
the
Fire
of
his
Jealousie
;
the
Nation
is
weary
,
and
its
Inhabitants
,
and
the
Lord
is
weary
because
of
these
men
:
And
is
this
the
Ministry
cryed
up
by
you
as
Godly
,
and
Pi●●●
&
c
?
Are
these
the
men
that
the
Nation
must
be
forced
to
maintain
in
their
Pride
and
Idolatry
?
Is
this
the
Ministry
that
must
be
Encouraged
?
Well
,
if
these
be
the
men
,
and
this
the
Ministry
which
must
be
established
and
encouraged
by
you
,
in
so
doing
you
shall
never
prosper
,
but
thereby
gain
the
Displeasure
of
the
Almighty
unto
you
,
to
bring
a
Curse
upon
all
your
doings
,
even
because
hereof
;
for
I
must
tell
you
,
the
Hand
of
my
Lord
is
against
them
;
and
whosoever
shall
seek
to
defend
them
,
shall
not
prosper
in
their
doings
,
because
their
Oppressions
,
Cruelties
,
Deceit
and
Abominations
are
nigh
finished
and
fulfilled
:
wherefore
take
●●ed
unto
your selves
,
for
this
is
my
Master's
Advice
unto
you
;
Let
this
Ministry
alone
,
and
joyn
not
your selves
to
Baal
,
lest
you
perish
,
neither
take
part
with
Antichrist
any
longer
,
neither
be
ye
Fighters
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Kingdom
;
but
free
the
Nation
,
and
let
all
its
Inhabitants
be
freed
from
the
cruel
Tasks
and
Yoaks
of
such
Men
,
and
such
a
Ministry
,
as
aforesaid
;
uphold
it
not
against
the
Lord
;
for
if
you
do
,
you
shall
never
be
established
;
and
this
is
from
the
Mouth
of
my
Lord
unto
you
.
And
last
of
all
,
My
Master
hath
a
People
in
this
Nation
,
even
a
suffering
People
,
that
have
born
the
Burden
of
the
Cruelty
,
and
Injustice
,
and
Wickedness
both
of
Rulers
and
Teachers
,
who
have
as
it
were
trodden
them
down
,
and
made
them
a
very
Prey
to
their
Devouring
Mouthes
;
the
very
Cry
of
their
Sufferings
have
reached
unto
Heaven
,
and
the
very
sound
thereof
your
Ears
have
heard
:
And
this
People
are
greatly
beloved
,
and
my
Lord
will
assuredly
honour
them
,
and
his
Hand
shall
be
continued
to
preserve
them
and
defend
them
against
all
their
Enemies
whatsoever
;
and
he
doth
reserve
them
to
himself
,
and
for
a
glorious
Work
,
that
he
hath
to
do
by
them
;
and
he
hath
formed
them
for
himself
,
and
they
cannot
joyn
with
any
of
the
Horns
of
the
great
Beast
,
neither
can
a
Place
of
Honour
pervert
them
from
their
perfect
Way
:
but
my
Lord
,
he
compasseth
them
about
on
every
side
,
and
hath
kept
them
in
the
midst
of
Tryals
,
Reproaches
and
Sufferings
,
and
covered
them
in
the
Heat
,
and
in
the
Storm
,
till
his
Pleasure
is
to
make
further
use
of
them
;
they
are
His
,
and
not
their
Own
;
and
they
must
fulfil
His
Will
,
and
none
besides
;
and
they
lie
at
Rest
in
Him
,
while
Mountains
are
overturned
,
and
while
one
Potsherd
of
the
Earth
breaks
another
;
and
this
must
be
even
till
the
appointed
Time
:
And
to
say
no
more
of
them
,
though
much
more
might
be
said
,
They
are
had
in
Remembrance
before
the
Lord
,
to
do
with
them
even
for
his
own
Glory
,
and
for
this
Nation
's
perpetual
Good
,
and
to
the
Authority
of
the
Most
High
,
through
them
,
shall
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
and
Nations
of
the
World
bow
and
tremble
;
wherefore
ye
men
,
touch
them
not
,
neither
do
ye
afflict
them
,
even
as
you
hope
to
prosper
;
remember
their
Cause
,
and
suffer
it
not
alwayes
to
be
rejected
,
as
it
hath
long
been
,
but
keep
your selves
free
from
the
Injustice
and
Cruelty
of
them
that
have
gone
before
you
,
who
have
been
Merciless
,
and
Oppressors
of
that
People
,
even
till
my
Lord
hath
confounded
them
,
and
brought
them
into
Confusion
;
for
there
is
the
weight
of
Blood
,
of
Tyranny
and
Oppression
lying
upon
the
Nation
in
that
People's
Cause
,
and
my
Lord
will
revenge
them
in
his
Season
;
and
though
they
are
not
weary
of
their
Sufferings
,
but
are
in
the
Patience
which
beareth
all
things
,
yet
the
Nation
can
never
be
happy
,
nor
its
Government
ever
blessed
,
while
this
People
are
held
in
Bondage
;
and
their
Sufferings
are
deeply
considered
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Season
thereof
is
expiring
towards
an

a●d
when
this
cometh
to
pass
,
then
Wo
unto
the
kingdom
of
Antichrist
,
and
to
the
Whore
and
false
Prophet
,
even
when
their
strength
is
dryed
up
,
by
which
they
have
made
War
against
the
Lamb
,
and
his
Followers
;
yea
,
Wo
unto
them
,
Great
Fearfulness
shall
be
upon
all
the
World
when
the
King
of
that
People
Reigns
upon
the
Earth
,
and
the
time
is

blessed

the
Man

blessed
is

Coming

but
is

him
in
his
Appearing
,
which
suddenly
cometh
upon

And
thus
I
have
told
the
Lord's
present
Message
unto
you
,
which
I
received
from
him
,
and
thus
far
I
am
clear
;
and
whether
you
accept

To
the
PRESENT
DISTRACTED
AND
Broken
Nation
OF
ENGLAND
,
And
to
all
her
INHABITANTS
:
A
Presentation
and
Declaration
from
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
from
the
People
called
Quakers
;
with
their
Sense
and
Knowledge
published
,
concerning
the
present
Divisions
and
Confusions
come
to
pass
in
the
Land
;
with
Mourning
and
Lamentation
over
it
because
of
its
Breaches
,
and
the
Causes
thereof
laid
down
,
and
discovered
.
And
also
,
Good
Counsel
and
Advice
held
forth
,
how
Peace
and
Unity
may
be
restored
,
and
how
the
present
Troubles
may
be
Removed
.
OH
!
poor
distressed
Nation
,
and
full
of
Troubles
;
How
art
thou
broken
and
divided
?
How
hath
Divisions
and
Distractions
compassed
thee
about
,
and
entred
into
thy
Bowels
?
And
how
are
thy
Inhabitants
and
thy
People
divided
,
even
to
hatred
one
against
another
?
and
how
are
they
filled
,
as
with
Mischief
,
one
towards
another
,
even
as
it
were
thirsting
for
the
Blood
of
one
another
?
Oh!
How
are
thy
Rulers
and
thy
Subjects
,
thy
Great
Men
and
thy
Poor
,
confounded
amongst
themselves
?
And
how
is
the
Wisdom
of
thy
Wise
men
turned
into
Folly
,
and
their
Union
into
present
Contention
?
and
how
do
they
seek
the
Overthrow
one
of
another
?
and
how
do
they
lie
in
wait
to
be
avenged
one
against
another
?
And
how
are
the
Hearts
of
many
filled
with
Envy
,
Contention
and
Revenge
;
and
Love
,
Peace
and
Unity
are
far
away
;
Meekness
,
Patience
,
and
Long-suffering
,
which
ought
to
be
among
thy
People
,
seem
to
stand
afar
off
?
And
oh
Nation
!
this
is
the
Day
of
thy
Trouble
,
and
the
beginning
of
thy
Sorrows
.
And
forasmuch
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
to
bring
,
and
suffer
things
thus
to
be
brought
to
pass
,
as
if
he
would
make
our
Nation
a
Heap
,
and
suffer
Destruction
upon
it
;
and
having
suffered
the
Rulers
and
Great
Men
to
overcome
and
break
down
one
another
,
and
to
rend
and
tear
one
another
from
o●●
the
Throne
,
pulling
down
others
,
and
setting
up
themselves
,
even
through
their
Ambition
and
Vain-glory
,
and
for
corrupted
Ends
to
themselves
,
whereby
this
our
Nation
is
brought
into
present
Confusion
;
and
many
are
begotten
,
through
these
●hings
,
into
Fury
,
Heart-burnings
and
Maliciousness
,
as
if
men
were
ready
to
devour
each
one
his
Neighbour
and
their
▪
Brother
about
Government
and
Ru●e
,
being
greatly
divided
and
distracted
in
this
matter
;
some
crying
up
one
way
of
Religion
and
Church
,
and
Civil
Government
,
and
some
crying
up
another
way
;
being
each
one
sort
of
People
seeking
themselves
,
and
the
prosperity
of
their
own
Interests
,
and
to
have
their
own
desires
accomplished
;
but
few
seeking
the
Lord
,
and
to
advance
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
:
And
because
of
this
,
there
is
no
Establishment
in
the
Earth
,
but
Strife
,
and
Contention
,
and
Heart-burnings
in
the
Bowels
of
the
Nation
,
and
great
want
of
True
Love
,
True
Unity
,
and
True
Peace
,
and
all
the
contrary
doth
abound
among
the
people
;
because
of
which
the
Nation
is
subject
to
present
Misery
,
even
to
Blood-shed
and
Murders
,
and
liable
also
to
greater
Judgments
,
which
may
also
come
upon
it
because
of
these
things
;
all
which
we
have
deeply
considered
●●th
Mourning
,
and
with
Breakin
gs
of
Heart
,
on
the
behalf
of
the
Nation
,
the
Land
of
our
Nativity
▪
We
have
seen
,
we
have
seen
the
Cause
of
thy
Distractions
to
be
the
Sins
of
thy
Rulers
and
People
;
and
we
have
seen
the
effect
of
them
to
be
doleful
and
miserable
unto
thee
,
except
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
turn
it
backward
.
And
oh
!
How
do
we
Mourn
and
La●ent
,
to
see
the
Out
▪
goings
of
Men
▪
and
the
present
Condition
of
the
People
and
Rulers
,
in
this
the
Day
of
their
Trouble
?
Alas
!
they
do
not
behave
themselves
towards
the
Lord
that
his
Judgments
may
be
turned
away
,
they
do
not
seek
him
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
they
do
not
turn
unto
him
with
all
their
Hearts
,
neither
do
they
tremble
at
his
Word
;
but
they
the
rather
reject
his
Counsel
,
and
despise
his
Visitation
,
and
they
seek
themselves
,
and
exalt
their
own
Horn
,
and
love
the
Honour
of
this
World
,
and
their
hearts
are
hardened
,
and
the
great
men
seem
to
be
utterly
insensible
of
what
the
Lord
is
a
doing
;
but
seek
great
things
for
themselves
,
and
each
one
rejoying
of
another's
Fall
,
and
glorying
in
their
Advantages
one
over
another
;
one
sort
being
first
down
,
and
another
sort
comes
up
,
boasting
themselves
over
the
Fall
of
their
Enemies
,
and
not
knowing
that
their
time
also
is
but
very
short
.
And
thus
is
our
poor
Nation
tossed
to
and
fro
,
through
the
Ambition
of
men
,
who
even
make
a
Prey
upon
the
poor
peoples
Persons
and
Treasure
for
their
own
corrupted
Ends
;
and
thy
Rulers
have
not
had
respect
unto
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
but
seem
to
refuse
the
Way
of
Peace
,
and
even
add
Fewel
to
the
Fire
of
God's
Wrath
,
by
heaping
up
one
Transgression
upon
another
,
and
they
receive
not
the
Instructions
of
the
Almighty
.
Behold
,
Oh
Nation
!
Great
Trouble
is
upon
thee
,
and
the
Men
that
should
Rule
thee
,
and
which
have
pretended
to
Govern
thee
,
they
do
not
walk
in
the
Way
of
thy
Peace
,
neither
do
they
bring
healing
to
thee
.
These
things
we
have
considered
,
and
thus
we
Lament
over
thee
,
and
over
thy
present
State
;
Oh
Nation
!
how
art
thou
like
an
ungirded
Vessel
,
that
is
ready
to
fall
one
piece
from
another
?
and
how
art
thou
like
a
Body
without
a
Head
,
and
all
thy
Ioynts
out
of
order
?
and
what
Confusion
art
thou
fallen
into
,
which
is
thy
present
state
,
and
art
even
as
a
Widdow
without
a
Husband
,
and
art
even
left
comfortless
unto
this
day
,
and
ready
to
devour
thy self
through
the
Envy
that
lodgeth
in
thy
own
Bowels
?
Though
thou
hast
had
Kings
over
thee
,
and
chosen
thee
Parliaments
,
and
set
up
Protectors
,
and
Committees
and
Councils
have
been
created
in
thee
,
to
have
been
as
a
Defence
upon
thee
,
and
to
have
born
the
Scepter
of
thy
Government
;
but
alas
!
all
these
have
left
thee
,
and
thou
art
now
as
alone
,
and
left
comfortless
,
even
as
a
Widow
unto
this
day
,
and
the
Staff
of
thy
hand
hath
pierced
thee
,
and
thy
strength
and
confidence
hath
betrayed
thee
,
and
them
whom
thou
hast
chosen
have
wrought
no
deliverance
at
all
in
thee
,
even
the
men
that
thou
thoughtest
should
have
healed
thee
,
they
have
made
thy
wound
more
incurable
,
and
they
in
whom
thou
hast
reposed
trust
,
they
have
been
deceitfull
and
treacherous
in
thee
;
for
many
have
sought
themselves
,
and
who
should
be
the
greatest
,
and
they
have
trisfled
away
many
precious
hours
in
vain
contentions
about
Government
,
what
it
should
be
,
and
who
should
govern
,
while
as
no
good
thing
hath
been
effected
by
them
;
but
in
the
mean
time
of
their
delayes
,
and
while
they
have
been
making
themselves
rich
with
the
Nations
Treasure
,
and
loved
this
worlds
perishing
honor
,
and
vain
titles
,
the
Nation
hath
starved
for
want
of
mercy
and
just
judgment
,
and
the
cause
of
its
necessity
hath
been
forgotten
,
and
mercy
and
truth
,
and
the
freedom
of
the
people
neglected
,
and
the
Cause
of
the
Fatherless
,
Widow
and
Stranger
,
and
the
Cause
of
the
afflicted
people
have
they
not
respected
:
Oh
Nation
,
the
men
that
have
sitten
on
thy
Throne
,
they
have
left
thee
groaning
under
great
Oppressions
,
wounded
with
the
Spirit
of
Tyranny
yet
un-cast
out
,
and
thy
people
are
yet
unhealed
,
but
the
breach
hath
been
made
wider
,
even
by
that
Spirit
which
hath
possessed
thy
Parliaments
,
thy
Protectors
,
thy
Councils
,
thy
Committees
,
who
hath
proved
Physitians
of
no
value
,
but
have
bin
the
increasers
of
thy
grief
,
and
even
because
of
their
iniquities
;
and
the
sin
of
their
Ambition
and
Oppression
hath
the
Lord
dealt
thus
with
them
,
and
suffered
them
to
dash
one
another
in
pieces
;
and
through
Judgment
unto
themselves
and
thee
,
Oh
Nation
,
are
they
at
present
ceased
from
thee
,
and
thou
art
left
alone
,
and
without
a
Deliverer
in
the
Earth
,
full
of
Troubles
and
Distractions
:
Oh
that
thou
wouldst
now
look
unto
the
Lord
,
and
seek
him
in
Righteousness
,
that
he
may
heal
thee
;
for
there
is
none
of
all
them
that
do
pretend
to
rule
thee
,
that
do
rightly
proceed
in
the
way
of
thy
Deliverance
,
they
do
not
apply
healing
Balm
unto
thy
Wound
,
they
rather
add
unto
the
cause
of
thy
Sorrow
,
then
remove
it
from
thee
;
their
hearts
are
not
aright
before
the
Lord
,
and
how
then
should
they
prosper
in
their
doings
.
All
these
things
have
we
viewed
,
and
pittied
the
condition
of
our
Nation
,
and
thus
we
do
declare
the
very
cause
of
these
things
that
are
come
to
pass
in
thee
is
in
that
,
oh
Nation
,
thou
hast
sinned
,
thou
hast
sinned
,
and
the
cry
of
thy
Iniquities
is
come
up
before
the
Lord
,
even
the
sins
of
thy
Rulers
and
thy
People
is
the
Cause
of
God's
Displeasure
against
thee
,
and
he
is
provoked
through
their
Transgressions
;
in
thee
is
found
the
Blood
of
the
Innocent
,
in
thee
is
found
the
Murder
of
Souls
,
in
thee
is
found
Treachery
against
God
,
and
Hypocrisie
&
Dissimulation
with
God
and
men
;
in
thee
is
found
Pride
&
Oppression
,
Whoredom
and
Drunkenness
,
Stealing
and
Murder
;
in
thee
is
found
the
very
burden
of
Iniquity
,
&
the
full
measure
of
Transgression
,
even
the
transgression
of
God's
whole
Law
;
deceit
is
found
in
thee
,
&
unsoundness
of
heart
,
&
unconstancy
in
all
good
things
;
multitude
of
hypocritical
Fastings
,
Prayers
and
Services
in
thee
is
found
;
even
destroying
Sins
of
all
sorts
do
abound
,
and
thou
hast
provoked
the
Lord
God
by
thy
Abominations
:
thy
Rulers
have
been
Oppressors
,
thy
Teachers
Deceivers
of
Souls
,
and
thy
People
are
froward
and
perverse
against
the
Lord
;
in
thee
is
found
the
men
that
judge
for
Rewards
,
and
the
Priests
that
preach
for
Hire
,
and
the
Prophets
that
divine
for
Money
;
thy
Sins
are
like
Israel's
of
old
for
number
and
greatness
,
and
thou
hast
lost
God's
Favour
,
and
gained
his
Fury
by
thy
own
doings
,
and
thou
art
the
very
cause
of
this
Misery
,
and
hast
brought
it
upon
thy self
;
and
because
thou
art
departed
from
the
Living
God
by
thy
Transgression
,
therefore
hath
he
confounded
thee
,
and
turned
thy
Wisdom
into
Folly
;
and
he
is
departed
from
thee
,
and
out
of
thy
Councils
,
and
men
are
left
to
the
counsels
of
their
own
hearts
,
and
as
it
were
ready
to
destroy
one
another
,
Ruler
against
Ruler
,
and
Neighbour
and
Friend
full
of
strife
one
against
another
;
and
this
is
happened
unto
thee
as
a
Judgment
for
thy
Iniquities
,
who
hast
also
nelected
a
gloririous
Day
of
Visitation
;
thy
Rulers
and
Inhabitants
have
been
warned
,
and
the
Cry
of
Repentance
hath
been
sounded
towards
them
all
by
a
despised
people
,
but
warning
hath
not
been
regarded
,
but
the
word
of
the
Lord
rejected
by
thy
Rulers
and
People
;
and
lo
,
what
wisdom
is
there
in
them
?
not
so
much
wisdom
from
God
as
can
preserve
them
;
but
it
may
be
just
with
the
Lord
to
suffer
them
to
drink
the
blood
one
of
another
,
even
because
they
have
sinned
against
God
,
and
rejected
his
counsel
,
therefore
is
this
come
to
pass
in
the
Nation
;
for
hadst
thou
,
o●
Nation
,
walked
in
the
Light
of
the
Lord
,
it
had
been
better
with
thee
;
had
every
one
obeyed
the
Light
in
his
own
Conscience
;
and
had
every
one
sought
the
Lord
,
and
not
himself
;
had
thy
Rulers
ruled
for
God
,
and
had
thy
people
been
ruled
of
God
,
then
this
day
had
not
been
a
day
of
Trouble
,
but
it
had
been
a
day
of
Joy
;
and
Sorrow
and
Anguish
had
been
removed
far
from
thee
,
and
blessings
had
filled
thy
Habitations
.
And
now
whereas
many
wise
men
have
been
advising
and
consulting
the
peace
of
this
our
Nation
,
and
they
have
given
in
their
counsel
for
removing
these
Troubles
,
yet
Peace
and
Unity
seems
to
be
far
away
,
and
though
they
have
sought
Peace
for
this
Nation
,
yet
they
have
not
walked
in
the
perfect
way
thereof
;
for
innocency
,
truth
,
and
simplicity
have
bin
wanting
,
which
God
only
will
bless
,
and
by
flatteries
and
deceits
,
and
the
pollicy
and
wisdom
of
this
World
have
they
thought
to
make
up
thy
breach
,
but
it
cannot
be
;
for
in
the
way
of
that
proceeding
will
not
the
Lord
be
found
in
a
needful
time
,
and
his
presence
hath
been
wanting
in
their
counsels
,
and
therefore
the
fruit
of
peace
is
not
yet
grown
up
,
this
we
have
seen
,
and
therefore
thus
we
do
declare
.
O
Nation
,
the
inward
cause
of
thy
destractions
must
be
removed
,
even
thy
iniquities
must
be
forsaken
,
and
thy
transgressions
repented
of
;
thou
must
forsake
thy
former
wayes
and
doings
that
are
not
right
;
thou
must
leave
off
thy
hypocrisies
and
flatteries
with
God
and
men
;
thou
must
repent
thee
of
thy
profaneness
,
and
of
thy
profession
also
;
thy
sin
and
thy
righteousness
must
thou
put
away
,
which
are
both
Abominations
unto
God
;
thou
must
cease
to
do
evil
,
and
learn
to
do
well
,
and
thou
must
be
uncovered
of
thy
sheeps
cloathing
,
thy
large
profession
of
Religion
,
and
the
multitude
of
thy
Prayers
and
Sermons
,
and
the
number
of
thy
oblations
and
offerings
,
these
things
have
not
been
pleasant
unto
the
Lord
from
thee
,
but
because
hereof
is
he
the
rather
provoked
against
thee
,
and
thou
must
be
stripped
of
thy
filthy
garments
,
and
set
as
in
the
day
that
thou
wast
born
,
before
thou
canst
be
cloathed
with
divine
righteousness
:
and
O
Nation
,
thou
must
be
changed
,
not
in
name
onely
,
but
in
nature
;
thou
must
be
converted
,
that
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
may
be
turned
back
from
thee
;
every
inhabitant
in
thee
must
become
a
fighter
against
the
evil
in
his
own
heart
,
and
the
plague
thereof
must
be
sought
out
and
removed
;
the
sin
must
be
forsaken
that
judgement
may
cease
,
and
every
one
must
cease
to
provoke
the
Lord
,
and
no
longer
vex
his
Spirit
within
them
;
and
every
one
must
love
the
Light
of
Christ
in
his
own
conscience
,
and
become
a
follower
of
it
,
that
will
lead
him
out
of
all
sin
;
and
every
man
must
put
off
his
Transgressions
,
and
forsake
himself
,
and
lay
down
the
enmity
,
and
cast
it
out
of
his
heart
that
he
hath
against
persons
,
and
he
must
war
against
the
Enemies
of
his
own
Soul
,
and
the
Enemies
of
his
〈◊〉
House
must
be
●●ain
,
even
his
own
Lusts
,
and
even
the
evil
Affections
of
his
own
heart
must
he
become
an
Enemy
unto
;
and
every
man
must
deny
the
false
Teachers
and
Deceivers
,
and
must
come
to
be
taught
of
the
Lord
,
every
one
must
turn
to
him
,
and
come
into
his
Covenant
,
and
hear
his
Word
,
and
obey
his
Voice
,
and
become
humble
and
meek
,
and
must
tremble
at
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
aad
must
become
upright
and
innocent
.
And
O
Nation
,
If
it
were
thus
with
thee
,
then
shouldst
thou
be
a
happy
People
;
if
thou
dost
these
things
,
then
shall
all
thy
Breaches
be
healed
,
and
thy
Sorrows
be
turned
into
Joy
,
and
the
Lord
shall
cease
to
smite
thee
,
and
his
Anger
shall
be
turned
clean
away
.
This
is
our
Counsel
unto
thee
,
Remove
thy
Iniquities
by
Repentance
,
be
converted
to
the
Lord
,
and
he
shall
heal
thee
,
and
his
Love
shall
be
shed
abroad
;
Peace
,
Plenty
and
Satisfaction●
,
Unity
and
Concord
shall
be
unto
all
thy
Inhabitants
,
and
the
Lord
himself
shall
be
thy
King
,
thy
Judge
and
thy
Law-giver
:
he
will
judge
thee
with
equity
,
and
not
with
Oppression
;
he
will
teach
thee
in
the
perfect
way
,
and
thou
shalt
not
err
,
he
will
defend
thee
from
all
thy
Enemies
:
Oh
Nation
,
if
thou
do
these
things
,
even
turn
to
the
Lord
with
all
thy
heart
,
that
he
may
walk
in
thee
,
and
dwell
in
thee
,
then
should
thy
light
break
out
of
obscurity
,
and
the
dew
of
Mercies
shall
fall
upon
thee
,
and
it
should
be
unto
thee
as
a
Morning
without
Clouds
,
and
thou
shouldest
be
refreshed
after
all
thy
sorrow
;
the
Nation
should
be
happy
,
and
the
people
blessed
,
and
the
Government
of
Peace
and
Truth
should
be
established
,
never
to
be
confounded
any
more
.
And
thus
thy
Iniquities
being
removed
,
the
Plague
should
cease
,
and
the
cause
of
destruction
being
taken
away
,
no
fruit
thereof
should
appear
;
wherefore
let
men
cease
to
hatch
Mischief
one
against
another
,
and
to
seek
vengeance
one
of
another
,
and
let
them
seek
with
all
speed
and
sincerity
to
get
victory
over
their
own
sins
,
and
vengeance
may
be
taken
upon
their
own
transgressions
;
and
this
is
our
Councel
for
the
healing
of
our
Nations
breach
,
and
for
turning
away
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
.
But
and
if
,
O
Nation
,
thou
continuest
in
thy
perversness
,
and
in
transgressions
which
the
Lord
hates
;
and
if
thou
wilt
not
turn
to
him
that
smites
thee
,
and
love
his
Rod
that
corrects
thee
,
but
wilt
always
grieve
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
be
obstinate
&
stout-hearted
against
the
Lord
,
and
his
reproofs
;
and
if
thou
wilt
continue
in
thy
accustomed
sins
,
then
shall
the
reward
thereof
be
upon
thee
,
even
breach
upon
breach
,
and
one
Judgment
upon
another
;
and
Mercy
shall
be
with-holden
from
thee
,
and
the
Dew
shall
not
fall
upon
thee
,
but
thou
shalt
be
as
a
barren
Heath
,
and
thou
shalt
be
given
up
to
consume
thy self
in
mischief
,
and
in
thy
heart-burnings
one
towards
another
;
if
thou
wilt
set
up
Rulers
of
thy
own
proud
and
ambitious
men
,
and
will
not
chuse
the
Lord
to
Rule
over
thee
,
but
reject
him
and
his
People
,
then
shall
thy
Breach
never
be
healed
by
the
Men
whom
thou
chusest
,
but
through
them
shall
thy
Breach
be
more
desperate
,
and
thy
Wound
be
made
more
incurable
;
and
if
thou
wilt
set
up
Teachers
that
teach
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
Prophets
that
divine
for
Money
,
and
Priests
that
preach
for
Hire
,
and
will
not
receive
the
Covenant
of
the
Lord
,
and
him
to
be
thy
Teacher
by
his
Spirit
,
then
shalt
thou
err
in
thy
ways
,
and
stumble
and
fall
,
and
never
know
perfect
Peace
with
God
,
nor
one
with
another
;
but
as
thou
lovest
Oppression
and
Deceit
,
and
walkest
in
Transgression
,
so
shall
it
be
unto
thee
,
and
thou
must
eat
the
Fruit
of
thy
own
doings
,
Misery
upon
Miseries
shall
be
upon
thee
,
and
thus
shalt
not
see
the
Face
of
the
Almighty
to
refresh
thee
:
Wherefore
,
O
Nation
!
consider
,
before
the
Night
comes
upon
thee
,
when
no
way
will
be
found
by
thee
to
be
dilivered
;
for
in
the
middst
of
thy
Confusions
God
is
a
working
;
he
hath
a
Work
to
bring
forth
,
which
shall
be
a
Work
of
great
Mercy
and
Deliverance
,
or
of
Sorrow
and
of
great
Judgment
,
even
to
the
whole
Land
.
And
as
for
us
,
we
hereby
declare
unto
thee
,
We
are
not
thy
Enemies
,
we
seek
not
thy
hurt
,
nor
do
we
desire
Vengeance
upon
our
Enemies
,
we
seek
not
thy
Destruction
;
but
we
desire
thy
Repentance
,
that
thou
mayst
be
healed
:
we
have
not
the
spirit
of
Mischief
and
Rebellion
in
our
hearts
towards
thee
,
neither
are
we
for
one
Party
or
another
,
nor
do
we
side
with
one
sort
against
another
,
neither
do
we
joyn
our selves
to
this
sort
or
the
other
,
nor
do
we
war
against
any
by
carnal
Weapons
,
neither
shall
we
ever
provoke
the
Nation
against
us
,
otherwise
then
by
our
Righteous
and
Holy
Walking
;
and
we
do
declare
,
that
we
are
not
for
Men
nor
Names
,
nor
shall
we
joyn
with
this
or
that
sort
of
men
,
but
as
they
act
Righteousness
alone
;
nor
any
thing
that
yet
appears
,
can
we
fully
embrace
or
rejoyce
in
;
for
they
are
all
corrupted
in
their
ways
,
and
that
cursed
spirit
of
Self-seeking
seems
to
be
the
Rule
of
,
and
to
leaven
their
principal
Actions
;
and
we
rather
yet
chuse
to
suffer
by
all
,
as
for
a
long
time
we
have
done
alreapy
,
then
to
lose
our
Integrity
and
Innocency
,
by
joyning
to
any
in
their
unjust
ways
;
for
we
reject
all
Places
of
corrupted
Honour
,
and
we
are
yet
kept
free
.
It
is
true
,
we
are
a
People
gathered
of
the
Lord
into
one
Spirit
,
and
though
a
People
little
in
Account
,
and
very
low
in
Reputation
,
and
greatly
reproached
,
and
〈◊〉
suffering
People
by
all
sorts
of
men
,
yet
we
are
a
people
loved
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Presence
is
among
us
,
and
his
Dread
filleth
our
hearts
;
and
though
we
are
●…ed
as
a
cast-out
people
,
yet
are
we
dreadful
unto
the
Wicked
,
and
must
be
their
Fear
;
for
we
have
chosen
the
Son
of
God
to
be
our
King
,
and
he
hath
chosen
us
to
be
his
People
;
whose
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
neither
is
his
Warfare
with
carnal
Weapons
,
neither
is
his
Victory
by
the
murdering
and
killing
of
mens
Persons
;
but
we
are
given
up
to
bear
and
suffer
all
things
for
his
Name
's
sake
;
and
our
present
Glory
and
Renown
therein
stands
till
the
appointed
time
of
our
Deliverance
,
without
the
Arm
of
Flesh
,
or
any
multitude
of
an
Host
of
men
;
this
we
declare
:
And
oh
Nation
,
though
we
have
born
thy
Reproaches
these
many
years
,
and
have
passed
under
the
Rod
of
thy
wicked
Ru●●●s
and
People
,
and
have
been
afflicted
through
their
Hard-heartedness
,
though
we
never
have
provoked
thee
otherwise
,
then
by
our
Well
doing
;
and
though
Per●…
,
Imprisonments
,
Whippings
,
Banishments
,
and
all
hard
things
have
been
out
Portion
from
thee
,
yet
this
hath
been
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
not
for
any
Evil-doing
;
and
we
have
born
all
these
things
in
much
Patience
;
and
we
are
not
now
provoked
against
thee
,
to
seek
thy
Hurt
,
or
to
work
Evil
is
thee
;
and
though
thou
hast
smitten
us
,
yet
would
we
have
thee
to
be
healed
;
and
though
thou
hast
sought
to
destroy
us
,
yet
would
we
have
thee
to
Repent
,
and
be
saved
:
and
we
are
at
this
day
thy
Mourners
,
and
are
afflicted
for
thee
in
our
hearts
,
even
because
thou
hast
provoked
the
Lord
against
thee
,
though
we
do
rejoyce
in
the
Judgments
which
smites
thee
,
yet
we
mourn
for
thee
who
hath
deserved
such
wofull
Stripes
,
and
also
because
thou
refusest
the
Way
of
Peace
,
and
countest
them
that
reprove
thee
even
thy
Enemies
,
and
hardnest
thy
heart
against
God's
Instructions
,
and
counteth
his
free-born
people
thy
Bondslaves
,
who
hath
not
any
large
Portion
,
nor
great
places
of
honour
in
this
Nation
,
nor
any
thing
to
glory
in
from
thee
but
Sufferings
,
Afflictions
and
Tribulations
:
Where
is
the
place
in
this
Nation
that
we
have
not
been
reproached
?
In
what
Street
have
we
not
been
reviled
?
And
in
what
Prison
have
we
not
been
unjustly
imprisoned
?
And
among
what
sort
of
people
have
not
we
been
hated
?
And
what
one
of
thy
Judges
&
Rulers
can
clear
themselves
before
the
Lord
from
the
guilt
of
our
unjust
Sufferings
?
O
Nation
,
our
Portion
in
thee
for
these
many
〈◊〉
hath
been
thy
cruel
reproaches
;
our
greatest
place
of
honour
in
thee
hath
been
under
thy
cruel
Oppressions
,
and
these
things
,
and
the
guilt
thereof
will
God
charge
upon
thee
,
and
reward
thee
for
,
one
time
or
other
;
yet
notwithstanding
all
this
,
our
present
desires
for
thee
are
good
,
and
not
evil
,
that
thou
mayst
be
saved
,
and
not
destroyed
;
healed
,
and
not
wounded
unrecoverably
;
and
we
would
not
add
unto
thy
grief
by
any
just
provocation
,
through
any
evil
towards
thee
;
neither
would
we
work
offence
in
thee
,
further
then
what
thou
takest
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
for
the
exercise
of
our
pure
Conscience
.
And
though
there
hath
been
in
this
Nation
divers
and
sundry
overturnings
of
〈◊〉
days
,
and
some
have
been
turned
out
,
and
others
brought
into
place
,
each
one
sort
of
them
crying
against
the
evil
of
another
,
and
promising
to
accomplish
such
and
such
good
things
in
this
Nation
;
yet
alas
,
what
is
there
effected
unto
this
day
?
What
Freedom
and
true
Liberty
to
Subjects
more
then
was
many
years
ago
?
What
Oppressions
taken
off
from
the
people
?
what
establishment
in
Government
?
Alas
,
not
any
of
these
things
are
accomplish'd
,
neither
see
we
a
right
thing
pr●…ded
,
&
rightly
prosecuted
by
any
party
yet
appearing
;
but
the
cause
hardly
yet
appears
carryed
on
by
any
among
them
,
which
can
be
said
of
it
,
This
is
of
the
Lord
,
and
is
perfectly
right
,
and
the
Lord
will
prosper
it
:
for
the
most
of
the
men
that
have
yet
appeared
on
the
Throne
,
they
have
rejected
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Counsel
;
and
what
Wisdom
is
there
in
them
?
only
the
Policy
,
and
Subtilty
and
Wisdom
of
this
World
,
wherein
they
build
,
but
the
Lord
throweth
〈◊〉
even
before
it
be
finished
?
and
they
consult
therein
,
and
the
Lord
dasheth
to
〈◊〉
;
they
set
up
,
but
he
pulls
down
,
because
they
want
his
Spirit
and
Wisdom
,
and
his
Authority
amongst
them
;
and
they
are
as
the
Potsherds
of
the
Earth
,
that
the
Iron
Rod
must
break
in
pieces
.
And
this
we
declare
,
The
Men
(
yet
)
seem
not
to
appear
in
all
these
parties
which
are
worthy
to
handle
the
Lord's
Scepter
,
and
to
be
Crowned
with
the
Honour
of
Authority
in
his
Government
;
but
even
this
Part
)
and
the
other
Party
seems
to
be
unworthy
to
Rule
for
the
Lord
;
for
they
appear
to
be
choaked
with
the
Honour
of
this
World
,
and
corrupted
thereby
,
and
uncapable
of
receiving
that
Anointing
that
Men
must
have
that
shall
truly
Rule
for
God
:
And
though
many
in
our
dayes
,
that
have
ruled
over
us
,
have
promised
great
Things
to
the
Nation
,
yet
we
see
all
hitherto
have
wanted
Power
to
perform
,
and
have
not
been
blessed
with
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
so
as
this
Nation
hath
not
been
healed
and
redeemed
by
them
;
and
we
are
utterly
out
of
all
Hopes
of
this
Party
or
the
other
Party
,
of
this
Man
or
that
Man
,
to
bring
Salvation
unto
this
Nation
,
from
all
its
Bonds
and
Oppressions
;
for
we
know
,
whatsoever
men
profess
to
do
,
yet
they
cannot
perform
any
good
Thing
,
nor
Rule
for
God
in
our
Nation
,
till
that
themselves
be
reformed
and
ruled
by
him
,
and
have
the
Spirit
of
God
pourred
upon
them
for
such
a
Work
:
And
this
we
declare
,
Till
that
a
man
,
or
men
,
be
ruled
of
the
Lord
,
they
can
never
rightly
rule
for
him
,
nor
bring
Deliver
once
and
Freedom
to
an
oppressed
Nation
;
though
men
may
and
have
promised
much
,
yet
their
Fruit
is
but
little
;
and
thou
,
O
Nation
,
hast
long
been
deceived
by
such
men
,
who
have
flattered
thee
with
the
multitude
of
fair
words
,
and
promised
thee
deliverance
:
and
hereby
mightest
thou
learn
Wisdom
,
O
England
,
never
more
to
rest
under
the
shadow
of
such
men
;
make
no
more
a
Mountain
to
cover
thy self
;
rest
no
more
under
the
shadow
of
dead
Trees
,
that
want
the
Vertue
of
God
;
but
now
look
at
the
Living
God
,
and
wait
for
that
King
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
whose
Right
alone
i●●s
to
Rule
;
for
he
alone
can
bring
Salvation
to
thee
,
he
alone
can
heal
thy
Breaches
,
even
Iesus
Christ
,
whose
coming
is
at
the
Door
:
and
in
the
mean
time
,
O
Nation
,
while
he
is
absent
,
thou
art
dry
,
and
barren
,
and
empty
,
thou
art
tossed
and
shaken
,
and
thou
art
tossed
and
perplexed
,
and
canst
not
be
rightly
comforted
;
for
men
shall
not
be
a
Rest
unto
thee
,
but
one
after
another
shall
they
be
overturned
;
for
it
is
the
Lord
alone
,
and
under
his
Government
shall
People
find
Rest
and
Freedom
from
all
Oppression
:
For
,
What
is
a
King
?
and
what
is
a
Parliament
?
what
is
a
Protector
?
and
what
is
a
Council
,
or
any
other
sort
of
men
,
while
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
is
not
with
them
,
and
while
his
Spirit
and
Authority
is
wanting
to
them
?
What
can
any
of
these
bring
forth
?
none
of
all
these
whatsoever
,
if
the
Lord
be
not
chief
in
them
and
amongst
them
,
and
his
Counsel
their
only
Guide
,
shall
be
any
otherwise
unto
this
Nation
,
then
as
a
broken
Reed
to
lean
upon
,
and
no
more
then
a
Shaddow
,
which
shall
not
save
the
people
from
the
heat
,
nor
from
the
storm
;
this
we
know
,
and
this
we
declare
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
And
we
are
not
for
Names
,
nor
Men
,
nor
Titles
of
Government
,
nor
are
we
for
this
Party
,
nor
against
the
other
,
because
of
its
Name
and
Pretence
;
but
we
are
for
Iustice
and
Mercy
,
and
Trust
and
Peace
,
and
true
Freedom
,
that
these
may
be
exalted
in
our
Nation
;
and
that
Goodness
,
Righteousness
,
Meekness
,
Temperance
,
Peace
and
Unity
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
,
that
these
things
may
abound
,
and
be
brought
forth
aboundantly
:
such
a
Government
are
we
seeking
and
waiting
for
,
wherein
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
Mercy
and
Iustice
,
Unity
and
Love
,
and
all
the
Fruits
of
Holiness
may
abound
;
and
all
the
contrary
be
removed
,
cast
out
,
and
limitted
:
And
we
are
not
for
such
and
such
Names
and
Titles
of
Government
,
that
promise
fair
things
,
and
perform
nothing
;
but
if
a
Council
,
if
a
Parliament
,
if
any
one
Man
,
or
a
number
of
Men
whatsoever
,
shall
have
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
poured
on
him
or
them
,
and
shall
be
anointed
of
the
Lord
for
such
an
End
and
Use
,
to
Govern
this
Nation
,
under
such
only
shall
the
Nation
be
happy
,
and
enjoy
Rest
from
such
men
fitted
of
the
Lord
,
and
called
by
him
;
and
under
such
a
Government
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
shalt
thou
O
Nation
,
enjoy
Rest
from
all
thy
Travels
;
and
under
such
a
Government
shall
the
Righteous
rejoyce
,
and
the
whole
Land
sing
for
Joy
of
Heart
,
when
Tyranny
and
Oppression
shall
be
clean
removed
,
Strife
and
Contention
and
Self-seeking
utterly
abandoned
,
and
when
Peace
and
Truth
flows
forth
as
a
Stream
,
and
the
Lord
alone
rules
in
thy
Rulers
,
and
he
the
Principal
amongst
them
;
and
under
such
men
,
and
such
a
Government
only
,
and
not
under
any
other
,
shalt
thou
,
O
Nation
,
be
happy
,
and
thy
people
a
free
People
.
Wherefore
,
O
Nation
,
when
wilt
thou
begin
to
look
to
the
Lord
?
when
wilt
thou
begin
to
set
up
Him
,
and
not
man
?
when
wilt
thou
mind
his
Power
and
Presence
in
and
through
men
,
more
then
any
men
themselves
?
when
shall
it
once
be
,
O
ye
people
of
our
Nation
,
that
ye
will
seek
after
him
,
to
be
the
principal
and
chief
Power
among
you
?
Oh!
let
your
eye
be
turned
to
the
Lord
alone
,
that
he
may
deliver
you
,
and
bring
Salvation
and
Freedom
;
and
look
no
more
at
men
,
but
only
as
they
are
in
him
,
guided
by
his
Spirit
,
&
only
expect
good
from
men
as
they
are
guided
by
the
Lord
;
and
then
shall
you
not
ever
any
more
be
deceived
,
as
long
you
have
been
with
Parliaments
,
with
Councils
,
with
Armies
,
nor
any
others
;
for
,
in
these
have
you
trusted
,
and
not
in
the
Lord
;
from
these
have
you
expected
great
Things
without
him
,
whenas
,
alas
!
what
shall
men
accomplish
?
or
,
what
can
they
bring
forth
while
they
reject
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Word
,
as
hitherto
they
have
done
?
and
therefore
hath
he
broke
them
,
and
confounded
them
;
yea
,
and
he
will
break
them
and
crush
them
under
his
Rod
,
even
till
they
come
to
learn
his
Judgments
,
and
know
him
the
alone
Power
,
and
give
Honour
to
him
that
doth
whatsoever
he
will
;
and
he
will
overthrow
it
once
and
again
,
even
till
he
comes
,
whose
Right
it
is
to
Rule
,
and
he
is
at
work
in
this
his
Day
;
and
because
of
Iniquities
doth
he
visit
with
Tribulation
,
and
through
great
Tribulation
,
and
overturning
of
Men
and
Powers
,
will
he
advance
his
own
Kingdom
and
Government
;
and
the
end
of
all
these
things
shall
bring
forth
his
Glory
;
and
men
that
will
not
honour
him
,
by
dealing
Righteously
in
their
Day
upon
Earth
,
they
must
honour
him
in
their
destruction
at
their
Latter-end
;
and
let
not
men
glory
one
over
another
,
while
some
are
put
down
,
and
others
set
up
;
but
let
them
all
know
,
they
have
but
each
sort
their
hour
,
and
their
end
will
come
even
as
others
:
for
an
everlasting
Kingdom
and
Government
will
God
setup
,
that
must
rule
over
all
,
and
this
is
the
hope
of
a
poor
dispised
people
,
though
for
present
hated
of
all
,
and
sought
to
be
destroyed
by
all
,
yet
our
Souls
are
anchored
and
staid
even
in
the
sure
Promises
of
our
God
,
in
this
the
day
of
the
Nations
trouble
;
and
though
we
are
poor
,
and
rejected
of
all
,
and
have
nothing
to
glory
in
among
any
party
or
sort
of
people
,
but
even
in
our
Reproaches
and
Sufferings
which
we
sustain
from
all
,
yet
have
we
perfect
rest
in
God
,
and
satisfaction
over
all
these
distractions
,
we
know
him
in
whom
we
have
believed
,
and
we
trust
in
the
shadow
of
his
Wing
,
and
we
are
not
of
a
doubting
heart
concerning
what
can
come
,
or
whomsoever
do
rule
,
for
this
we
know
,
though
all
seek
after
our
blood
,
yet
he
can
deliver
us
if
he
will
;
we
know
him
that
can
do
all
things
,
and
if
he
save
none
can
destroy
,
if
he
bless
none
can
curse
;
him
we
know
,
and
in
him
we
rest
,
and
we
give
our
power
in
all
things
to
him
,
&
not
unto
mortal
man
whose
breath
is
in
his
nostrils
,
who
must
perish
as
the
dung
;
we
cannot
be
afraid
of
their
horror
,
nor
can
we
be
drawn
by
their
love
,
but
we
trust
in
his
Name
,
and
under
his
defence
shall
we
be
saved
;
we
give
our
power
to
him
,
to
be
defended
and
preserved
by
him
alone
,
and
we
are
well
content
with
our
Sufferings
,
and
murmur
not
,
our
Sufferings
are
our
present
Crown
;
but
yet
,
Wo
unto
that
Authority
which
maketh
us
to
suffer
,
and
wo
〈◊〉
the
men
upon
whom
God
shall
charge
the
guilt
of
our
Oppressions
;
and
wo
unto
that
Spirit
that
is
found
acting
against
Gods
Anointed
:
Behold
ye
Mountains
of
the
Earth
,
behold
ye
Rulers
,
and
ye
People
,
the
Lord
hath
blessed
his
People
,
and
every
Tongue
that
riseth
up
in
witness
against
them
shall
be
condemned
,
and
every
Weapon
that
is
formed
against
them
shall
be
broken
;
this
is
our
hope
in
this
gloomy
day
,
and
the
hope
of
a
Kingdom
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
which
must
be
set
up
,
is
our
refreshment
in
this
day
of
trouble
;
and
let
not
our
Enemies
glory
over
us
,
forthough
we
be
very
poor
,
yet
shall
we
be
made
rich
,
and
though
we
have
no
carnal
weapon
,
yet
shall
we
conquer
;
and
thus
have
we
declared
our selves
in
much
plainness
and
sincerity
to
our
Nation
whom
we
love
,
and
whose
present
condition
we
pitty
and
and
lament
over
,
and
we
are
Friends
to
an
appearance
of
good
,
that
may
come
forth
in
Truth
and
Sincerity
,
and
as
Righteousness
do
appear
in
any
,
we
are
ready
to
joyn
with
it
in
our
Prayers
and
Desires
,
yea
,
and
otherwise
;
even
that
which
hath
the
Image
of
our
God
upon
it
,
whenever
it
shall
appear
,
we
shall
rejoyce
therein
,
and
be
glad
to
see
it
prosper
:
For
,
for
the
establishing
of
Righteousness
in
the
Earth
have
we
laboured
;
and
it
cannot
be
charged
upon
us
,
That
we
have
sided
with
one
or
another
;
for
we
have
beheld
all
hitherto
out
of
the
Right
Way
,
as
we
have
said
;
but
we
truly
seek
the
general
Good
of
our
Nation
:
and
though
we
are
accounted
so
and
so
,
yet
we
have
not
lost
true
Reason
nor
Understanding
;
but
we
well
know
what
is
wrong
,
and
what
would
be
right
,
even
in
way
of
Government
;
but
the
time
appears
not
to
be
yet
,
when
Innocency
and
Simplicity
of
Heart
can
be
embraced
;
for
men
are
yet
too
wise
in
their
own
wisdom
,
and
cannot
receive
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
that
they
may
prosper
,
and
therefore
are
they
,
and
must
they
be
confounded
amongst
themselves
,
and
dashed
one
against
another
,
till
they
learn
the
Way
of
Righteousness
and
Truth
.

A
PRESENTATION
TO
LONDON
.
Being
an
Answer
to
the
Young-Men
and
Apprentices
;
returned
to
some
part
of
their
Petition
and
Address
,
directed
by
them
to
the
Mayor
,
Aldermen
and
Common-Council
Assembled
:
And
this
is
directed
to
them
,
for
their
better
Information
;
and
to
the
Citizens
of
London
,
for
their
better
Satisfaction
,
if
the
Lord
shall
so
work
upon
their
Hearts
,
as
to
bring
them
to
Moderation
and
the
Spirit
of
Meekness
,
fit
for
his
INSTRUCTIONS
.
WHereas
you
say
,
It
hath
pleased
the
God
,
and
only
Wise
God
,
for
yours
and
the
Nation
's
Crying-Sins
,
to
manifest
his
Displeasure
for
many
years
together
against
these
Nations
;
and
yet
,
you
say
,
this
Honourable
City
hath
been
no
great
Sharers
in
the
Calamity
,
which
your
Brethren
in
other
parts
have
suffered
,
&c.
Answer
,
Friends
,
it
s
very
true
,
because
of
yours
and
the
Nations
Crying-Sins
the
Lord's
Displeasure
is
against
you
and
the
Nation
,
and
his
Judgments
bang
over
your
City
,
and
the
Nation
,
even
because
of
your
Crying-Sins
:
O!
the
Pride
,
the
Hypocrisie
,
and
Double-dealing
,
and
Wantonness
,
and
all
other
,
the
abominable
Wickedness
which
abounds
among
you
,
which
are
your
Sins
,
which
indeed
is
the
Cause
of
God's
Displeasure
against
you
and
the
Nation
,
which
he
will
shew
one
way
or
other
upon
you
;
for
Iniquity
is
full
:
But
seeing
that
your
Sins
have
provoked
the
Lord
,
is
it
not
now
time
to
come
to
Humility
,
and
Repentance
,
and
to
forsake
your
Sins
,
that
the
Displeasure
of
the
Lord
may
be
turned
from
you
?
or
,
Is
it
a
time
for
you
to
be
envious
,
and
to
seek
Revenge
upon
Men
,
and
to
make
Insurrections
,
and
Tu●●lts
,
and
Bloodsheds
,
and
so
to
add
Sin
unto
your
Sins
?
It
s
not
a
time
for
you
to
proceed
thus
;
for
hereby
you
will
gain
God's
Displeasure
more
unto
you
,
and
not
turn
his
Wrath
away
.
And
its
true
,
this
City
hath
been
wonderfully
preserved
from
the
Miseries
and
Calamities
,
which
have
come
upon
some
in
this
Nation
;
and
therefore
,
its
time
for
you
to
answer
the
Lord's
Love
unto
you
,
by
Meekness
,
and
Fear
,
and
Righteousness
;
and
not
to
abuse
his
Mercies
,
by
opposing
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
setting
your selves
to
fight
as
against
him
in
his
Proceedings
;
though
the
time
is
at
hand
,
even
because
of
your
own
multiplyed
Iniquities
,
when
you
may
bring
Calamity
and
Misery
upon
this
City
,
and
it
may
partake
of
the
Nation
's
Tribulations
and
Sorrows
.
And
then
you
complain
of
the
general
decay
of
Trading
:
But
what
can
you
attribute
that
unto
,
but
to
your
Sins
also
?
For
there
hath
been
so
much
Double
dealing
,
Deceit
and
Wickedness
in
the
way
of
your
Trading
,
that
it
is
just
with
the
Lord
to
turn
your
former
Mercies
into
a
present
Judgment
in
that
respect
;
but
in
this
case
you
ought
to
be
contented
,
and
to
be
still
,
and
not
to
murmur
against
God
,
nor
against
any
others
in
the
Nation
;
but
the
rather
to
Repent
,
that
the
Wrath
may
be
turned
from
you
.
And
whereas
you
seem
to
make
an
Appeal
to
your
Lord
Mayor
,
Aldermen
;
Common-Council-Men
of
this
City
;
as
if
they
should
be
Instruments
for
the
settling
of
the
Three
Nations
,
and
for
the
removing
of
the
Troubles
,
and
for
the
Peace
of
the
Church
,
&c.
Answ.
Alas
my
Friends
!
These
Troubles
,
Distractions
and
Miseries
that
are
approached
,
and
which
further
may
ensue
,
is
the
Fruit
and
Effect
of
yours
and
the
Nations
Sins
;
and
cannot
be
removed
nor
remitted
,
but
as
you
and
the
Nation
repenteth
,
and
turneth
from
your
Sins
;
so
that
you
take
a
wrong
course
to
remove
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
from
you
and
this
Nation
:
for
its
certain
,
That
Repentance
from
sin
,
that
removes
the
Judgment
for
sin
;
and
it
s
not
adding
one
sin
to
another
;
neither
is
it
in
the
hand
of
those
to
whom
you
do
appeal
,
to
remove
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
;
for
what
are
they
but
Mortal
Men
,
like
your selves
,
and
Transgressors
with
your selves
,
and
have
a
part
in
the
Sins
acted
by
you
,
and
must
have
a
part
in
the
same
Judgments
,
though
you
stir
them
up
to
improve
themselves
and
their
Tallent
for
the
Peace
of
the
Church
,
as
you
say
;
whenas
,
alas
!
its
Jesus
Christ
only
that
must
keep
his
Church
in
Peace
,
by
his
good
Spirit
;
and
not
Mortal
Men
,
with
Mortal
Weapons
:
Though
you
say
,
The
Discharge
of
their
Trust
may
make
these
Nations
Happy
,
or
leave
them
Miserable
.
To
which
I
say
,
If
they
be
faithful
to
their
Trust
,
then
they
will
keep
your
City
in
Peace
,
and
doubtless
they
would
be
blessed
therein
;
but
yet
the
Happiness
of
these
Nations
dependeth
not
upon
them
,
nor
upon
what
they
can
do
;
for
while
many
are
supposing
that
they
improve
their
Trust
,
its
possible
they
may
be
persecuting
Righteousness
under
the
Name
of
Heresie
,
and
persecuting
Christ
in
his
People
under
the
Name
of
a
Deceiver
&
false
Prophet
;
this
hath
often
come
to
pass
in
this
City
and
Nation
,
men
have
improved
their
Power
and
Places
to
the
Dishonour
of
God
,
and
the
persecuting
Christ
in
his
Members
,
while
as
they
have
been
thinking
they
have
been
punishing
Sin
,
Heresie
and
Error
;
and
in
such
cases
some
have
improved
their
Tallents
not
truly
for
God
,
but
rather
against
him
.
But
whereas
you
say
,
You
humbly
present
,
That
the
Priviledges
of
the
Gospel
,
the
Faithful
Preaching
and
Dispencing
of
God's
Holy
Word
and
Sacraments
,
with
the
Labour
of
so
many
of
his
Faithful
Servants
in
the
Ministry
;
and
you
humbly
desire
the
Ministry
may
be
Countenanced
and
Encouraged
,
the
Universities
upheld
and
maintained
,
&c.
Answ.
Alas
my
Friends
!
What
do
you
think
concerning
the
Lord
God
?
Surely
you
have
low
Thoughts
of
him
,
and
little
Belief
in
him
;
Do
not
you
think
he
will
maintain
the
Priviledges
of
the
Gospel
,
and
the
faithful
Preaching
and
Dispensing
of
his
Word
,
and
his
faithful
Ministry
without
you
:
Do
you
think
that
he
hath
forgotten
to
be
Gratious
,
or
that
his
Power
is
insufficient
to
maintain
his
own
Cause
,
and
to
uphold
the
Rights
and
Priviledges
of
his
own
Kingdom
?
Do
you
think
that
he
hath
need
of
you
,
or
a
Multitude
of
wild
and
heady
Men
and
Youth
to
fight
in
his
Cause
,
to
uphold
his
Gospel
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Ministers
?
Alas
!
no
,
you
are
deceived
in
this
matter
;
for
his
own
Arm
shall
do
all
this
,
and
he
will
do
it
without
you
,
and
not
be
beholding
to
you
in
this
matter
:
His
Gospel
,
nor
the
Priviledges
of
it
,
shall
not
fall
;
the
true
Ministry
,
the
Preaching
and
Dispensing
of
God's
Word
and
Ordinances
shall
not
perish
,
though
you
be
silent
;
for
the
Lord
by
his
own
Power
will
maintain
and
carry
on
these
things
,
and
all
others
belonging
to
his
Kingdom
,
without
the
help
of
Mortal
Men
,
or
without
the
help
of
the
Arm
of
Flesh
:
so
that
you
may
put
up
your
Swords
,
and
be
still
in
this
matter
,
and
leave
it
to
God
,
who
is
sufficient
for
these
things
,
without
a
multitude
of
men
,
or
without
the
Arm
of
Flesh
:
For
I
must
tell
you
,
that
the
faithful
Teachers
of
God's
Word
,
and
the
faithful
Ministry
,
desire
not
your
help
to
prosecute
their
Cause
,
and
the
Cause
of
the
Gospel
;
but
they
trust
to
the
Lord
to
be
maintained
,
countenanced
and
encouraged
by
him
alone
,
who
is
sufficient
in
that
cause
;
though
its
true
,
the
false
Ministers
,
and
the
antichristian
Teachers
through
all
Christendom
,
for
many
Generations
,
they
have
sought
unto
the
Arm
of
flesh
to
set
them
up
,
to
maintain
and
defend
them
,
and
their
Gospel
,
and
false
Church
;
thus
it
is
through
the
Popes
Dominion
,
and
among
some
Protestants
also
;
they
cry
unto
the
Magistrates
,
unto
the
Kings
,
and
Parliaments
,
for
the
making
cruel
Laws
to
defend
them
;
and
to
the
rude
world
they
cry
,
Help
us
,
and
save
us
,
and
defend
us
,
by
fighting
with
Carnal
Weapons
,
for
Heresies
,
and
Errors
,
and
such
like
:
and
they
stand
in
their
Ministry
,
in
their
Call
to
it
,
and
Maintenance
of
it
,
and
defence
in
it
by
the
Arm
of
flesh
,
and
their
Church
is
upheld
thereby
also
:
but
this
is
but
Antichrists
way
,
and
these
are
Antichrists
Ministers
,
and
his
false
Church
hereby
is
defended
in
the
World
;
and
this
shews
,
that
the
Weapon
of
the
Spirit
of
God
is
wanted
by
them
,
which
the
Apostles
had
;
and
it
s
very
doubtful
,
O
ye
Apprentices
of
London
,
that
your
Ministers
have
prayed
you
,
and
preached
you
into
such
a
work
,
as
that
you
should
stand
up
to
maintain
them
,
and
fight
for
them
and
their
church
,
against
such
that
do
oppose
them
;
but
I
must
tell
you
,
if
their
Defence
be
not
in
another
hand
,
then
in
yours
,
they
are
like
to
come
to
perpetual
ruin
,
and
their
Gospel
,
and
their
Teaching
,
and
their
Sacraments
,
&
their
Church
cannot
stand
,
if
they
have
not
the
Lord's
Help
more
then
yours
.
And
as
for
the
Universities
,
which
you
contend
for
;
alas
!
many
of
you
are
ignorant
concerning
them
,
and
what
Abomination
is
committed
among
them
;
oh
!
if
you
knew
but
the
Prophaneness
,
and
Ungodliness
and
Ill-education
that
is
among
them
,
it
would
turn
your
zeal
for
them
backwards
:
and
it
s
not
from
humane
Studies
that
the
faithful
Ministers
of
Christ
come
;
but
who
are
so
indeed
,
are
made
so
by
the
Gift
of
God's
Eternal
Spirit
,
both
in
this
Age
,
and
in
Ages
past
.
So
that
,
O
ye
Apprentices
,
Be
still
,
be
still
,
and
do
not
ruin
your selves
and
your
City
,
by
Rage
,
and
Fury
,
and
Disorders
,
upon
such
a
Proceeding
;
for
your
ground
of
Quarrel
is
not
perfectly
good
,
nor
your
Endeavour
in
the
Cause
aforesaid
well
accepted
with
the
Lord
.
But
if
your
Quarrel
be
upon
the
account
,
or
about
the
matter
of
Church
and
Ministry
,
leave
that
to
the
Lord
,
and
to
your
Ministers
,
that
they
may
defend
themselves
,
their
Church
,
and
Ordinances
and
Worship
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
if
they
have
it
;
for
that
is
the
Weapon
of
Ministry
,
Church
and
Gospel-Warfare
;
and
not
Carnal
Weapons
,
nor
the
multitude
of
an
Host
of
Men
:
Let
your
Ministers
come
forth
in
the
best
authority
of
spirit
that
they
have
,
and
plead
the
cause
of
their
Worship
,
and
Gospel
and
Ministry
,
like
Christians
,
and
not
like
Iews
and
Heathens
;
for
they
use
Carnal
Weapons
,
killing
and
murdering
about
Church
and
Religion
;
that
is
the
Papists
Practice
,
and
not
the
Practice
of
the
Saints
:
So
that
ye
Apprentices
,
seeing
you
state
your
Quarrel
against
the
Army
,
upon
the
account
of
Church
and
Ministry
,
my
Advice
is
to
you
,
Proceed
no
further
upon
that
ground
;
but
give
your
Trust
to
the
Lord
,
for
the
maintaining
of
all
things
related
to
his
own
Kingdom
.
But
the
Cry
is
,
Those
Sectaries
,
those
Sectaries
,
away
with
them
:
Your
Trouble
seems
to
be
concerning
them
,
lest
they
prevail
;
but
wherefore
are
you
troubled
in
this
matter
,
like
as
if
you
knew
not
that
what
the
Lord
purposeth
must
come
to
pass
?
who
are
of
God
,
will
stand
,
this
you
need
not
doubt
;
and
who
are
not
,
will
come
to
nought
;
and
its
vain
for
Mortal
Man
to
oppose
the
Lord's
Purpose
:
but
this
was
the
Cry
in
dayes
past
.
How
did
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
in
their
dayes
cry
against
the
Non-conformists
,
as
Hereticks
,
and
such
like
,
even
as
the
Ministers
now
cry
against
Sectaries
?
But
consider
,
how
did
the
Bishops
proceed
,
but
in
being
the
chief
Cause
themselves
of
raising
War
against
the
then
Non-conformists
,
thinking
thereby
to
have
smitten
them
all
?
but
you
know
it
proved
otherwise
;
and
as
they
thought
to
do
unto
others
,
so
was
it
done
unto
them
;
which
thing
may
be
an
Example
to
you
:
For
as
they
thought
to
have
destroyed
the
then
called
Puritans
,
in
like
manner
were
themselves
destroyed
;
and
this
may
possibly
fall
upon
you
:
Therefore
consider
;
for
I
tell
you
,
as
an
equal
man
between
you
and
them
,
that
there
is
more
Sincerity
towards
God
,
and
Fear
of
his
Name
,
in
some
of
them
called
Sectarians
,
then
there
is
amongst
you
,
and
your
Ministers
;
though
I
do
not
here
justifie
the
Sectarians
(
so
called
)
in
all
things
,
neither
do
I
in
every
thing
condemn
your
Ministers
;
but
this
I
say
,
and
do
know
,
If
that
you
and
your
Ministers
raise
a
War
against
those
called
Sectarians
,
the
effect
thereof
will
prove
your
own
Sorrow
,
and
their
Advantage
:
So
this
is
my
Advice
to
you
,
rest
and
be
still
,
and
that
will
prove
your
own
Peace
and
Happiness
.
Therefore
take
heed
,
and
beware
;
lest
ye
oppose
and
gain-say
the
Work
and
Power
of
God
,
which
his
purpose
is
to
bring
to
pass
in
this
his
Day
,
who
is
setting
up
his
Kingdom
in
the
midst
of
Tribulations
,
that
comes
upon
men
.
The
second
Particular
humbly
desired
by
you
is
,
The
Freedom
and
Priviledges
of
Parliaments
,
as
being
the
Great
Charter
of
the
People
,
which
you
account
very
dear
unto
you
,
and
by
which
you
hope
to
see
(
you
say
)
a
Settlement
in
Church
and
State
;
and
you
humbly
conceive
that
to
be
the
probable
means
to
establish
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
reform
the
Laws
,
secure
the
Liberties
,
promote
Learning
,
&c.
Answ.
Now
Friends
,
do
but
truly
consider
,
and
with
a
humble
Mind
,
what
the
Work
of
the
Lord
hath
been
in
these
Nations
for
divers
years
,
and
how
he
hath
proceeded
to
overthrow
,
and
overturn
Powers
and
Authorities
,
Princes
and
Rulers
,
and
made
them
of
no
account
before
him
;
and
though
the
Instruments
which
God
hath
used
in
that
matter
,
in
plucking
down
Men
and
Powers
,
have
been
as
much
corrupted
as
those
that
have
been
overturned
;
and
whenas
the
measure
of
Iniquity
in
one
was
filled
up
,
the
Lord
threw
that
Power
down
even
as
it
were
by
the
Iniquity
of
another
;
and
because
of
the
Oppressions
of
Rulers
amongst
us
,
the
Nation
hath
groaned
,
and
been
left
without
a
Comforter
from
any
man
,
and
could
not
repose
Confidence
in
its
Princes
and
Rulers
;
and
this
was
,
that
the
Nation
might
look
unto
the
Lord
,
and
that
through
him
they
might
be
saved
,
and
expect
healing
from
him
alone
;
and
in
all
these
Overturnings
you
need
not
fear
,
but
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
hath
been
in
them
,
and
his
Arm
hath
suffered
,
and
even
brought
these
things
to
pass
;
and
therefore
why
should
you
murmer
against
God
,
&
be
unsatisfied
in
what
he
hath
done
?
for
it
s
he
alone
,
and
not
another
,
that
must
settle
a
happy
and
lasting
Peace
both
in
Church
and
State
,
and
he
that
must
establish
true
Religion
,
and
reform
the
Laws
,
and
secure
our
Liberties
,
and
preserve
our
Lives
,
and
encourage
all
Vertue
;
it
is
the
Lord
that
will
do
all
these
things
for
this
Nation
,
and
it
s
not
any
other
in
whose
Hand
the
Salvation
of
a
Person
or
a
Nation
is
;
and
how
he
shall
do
this
,
and
by
what
means
,
leave
that
to
the
Lord
,
limit
him
not
to
or
from
any
thing
;
for
,
if
the
Nation
can
be
but
patient
and
still
,
he
will
bring
to
pass
these
things
in
his
day
and
season
.
Wherefore
O
Nation
and
City
,
Be
still
,
be
still
,
and
be
patient
under
the
Hand
of
God
,
which
is
upon
you
;
combine
not
Mischief
one
against
another
,
nor
desire
the
overthrow
one
of
another
;
but
be
still
,
be
still
,
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
you
,
be
at
quiet
in
your
spirits
,
and
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
to
receive
what
he
brings
forth
:
For
O
ye
Apprentices
and
Young-Men
of
London
,
your
rude
proceedings
in
these
causes
will
but
destroy
your selves
,
and
your
City
,
if
you
proceed
any
further
;
for
what
is
a
multitude
of
men
,
but
as
Bryers
and
Thornes
in
battel
before
the
Lord
?
if
he
purpose
a
Work
,
you
cannot
prevent
it
;
and
if
he
prevent
a
Work
,
its
vain
for
you
to
endeavour
it
;
these
things
are
in
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
and
Nations
are
unto
him
as
Clay
in
the
hand
of
a
Potter
:
but
now
I
do
not
speak
as
your
Enemy
;
for
I
love
your
City
,
&
wish
it
well
.
Alack
!
neither
will
I
justifie
the
Army
,
nor
the
men
that
you
oppose
in
opposition
to
you
;
for
their
ways
are
corrupted
I
know
,
and
their
own
Ends
they
seek
;
and
they
are
for
Condemnation
,
some
of
them
;
and
their
Iniquities
are
fully
ripe
,
and
God
will
bring
them
down
;
but
yet
,
let
you
them
alone
,
the
Lord
will
deal
with
them
,
and
he
can
execute
his
Judgement
with
his
own
Hand
without
you
;
and
if
you
can
be
but
quiet
for
a
little
season
,
it
will
make
for
your
Peace
hereafter
;
but
if
your
spirits
rage
and
swell
,
you
may
work
Misery
unto
your selves
,
and
to
your
City
;
but
you
cannot
redeem
it
from
Misery
.
So
do
no
talk
of
the
Church
,
as
if
you
would
Fight
to
uphold
it
,
leave
that
to
the
Lord
;
for
Christ
will
look
to
that
,
to
Govern
it
,
and
Preserve
it
out
of
all
,
and
from
all
its
Enemies
,
and
it
belongs
not
unto
you
;
but
that
which
the
Lord
requires
of
you
,
is
Patience
and
Submission
to
his
Will
,
and
to
be
still
,
till
he
appears
with
Salvation
and
Deliverance
to
this
City
and
Nation
,
to
deliver
them
from
all
Oppression
,
and
Oppressors
;
whose
Coming
is
at
hand
,
and
blessed
are
all
they
who
are
found
in
Patience
at
his
Coming
.

TO
THE
Present
Assembly
,
MEMBERS
OF
PARLIAMENT
AT
WESTMINSTER
:
The
Consideration
of
a
Servant
of
the
Lord
upon
the
Present
State
of
Affairs
;
presented
unto
you
for
to
read
and
consider
,
as
Informations
unto
you
concerning
present
Proceedings
in
this
Nation
.
FRIENDS
,
ALL
these
Overturnings
,
and
almost
wonderful
Changings
,
that
do
come
to
pass
in
this
Nation
,
they
are
all
effected
through
the
Justice
of
the
Lord's
Hand
,
and
his
Hand
and
Power
is
in
and
over
all
these
things
;
and
it
all
Particulars
which
have
happened
since
your
first
appearing
on
the
Throne
were
accompted
,
what
hath
come
to
pass
but
hath
been
accomplished
and
suffered
to
be
by
the
hand
of
the
Lord
?
But
particularly
,
of
the
present
state
of
things
,
and
this
last
Interruption
which
happened
unto
you
;
Was
it
not
a
just
Reproof
upon
you
from
the
Lord
,
though
effected
in
Ambition
,
and
by
corrupted
Instruments
?
For
have
you
not
promised
great
things
unto
this
Nation
,
in
matters
of
Freedom
and
Liberty
?
But
what
have
you
done
?
Even
left
this
Nation
travelling
under
great
and
sore
Vexations
,
and
undelivered
from
the
Bondage
of
Oppressions
;
though
you
have
had
time
oftentimes
put
into
your
hands
,
wherein
you
might
have
done
good
things
for
the
Lord
,
and
for
this
Nation
,
and
Righteousness
might
have
been
established
amongst
you
,
and
in
the
Nation
;
but
you
neglected
many
precious
dayes
,
and
effected
not
many
good
things
:
It
would
be
large
to
instance
the
particular
Oppressions
that
yet
remain
almost
upon
all
sorts
of
people
in
this
Land
,
which
might
have
been
removed
long
ere
this
day
,
had
you
bin
faithful
to
God
:
But
because
from
day
to
day
you
have
been
rather
careless
,
and
served
your selves
more
then
the
Lord
,
therefore
hath
he
suffered
you
to
be
interrupted
once
and
again
,
and
reproved
by
a
Generation
of
men
,
as
unfaithful
as
your selves
.
Well
,
But
to
pass
all
this
,
though
much
may
be
said
,
you
are
now
again
at
the
stern
of
Government
,
and
on
the
Throne
,
and
I
dare
not
but
say
it
is
of
and
by
the
Lord
,
and
that
he
hath
done
it
,
contrary
to
the
expectations
of
many
;
and
what
his
End
is
in
it
remains
with
him
;
but
I
am
sure
one
Cause
is
,
that
you
may
execute
part
of
his
Wrath
upon
that
Treacherous
Generation
of
Hypocritical
and
Deceitful
men
(
some
of
the
Army
I
mean
)
some
of
whom
have
been
deceitful
to
God
,
and
treacherous
to
the
Nation
,
and
who
have
been
fearful
Hypocrites
by
a
shew
of
Religion
more
then
others
,
and
have
mocked
God
as
it
were
,
and
his
People
.
I
need
not
say
to
you
,
how
that
many
of
them
were
raised
up
from
a
low
Estate
;
and
instead
of
servnig
the
Nation
,
became
their
Lords
and
Oppressors
;
they
have
abused
the
Lord's
Mercy
to
them
,
and
exalted
themselves
,
and
became
as
great
Oppressors
,
and
as
grievous
to
the
Nation
,
as
ever
they
were
that
went
before
them
;
and
some
of
them
took
the
very
Titles
and
Estates
of
their
Enemies
,
and
followed
their
evil
spirit
also
,
though
the
Lord
was
Long-suffering
to
them
,
and
gave
them
a
day
,
and
put
opportunity
into
their
hands
,
wherein
they
might
have
done
good
:
but
they
also
neglected
to
serve
God
,
and
the
Nations
,
to
serve
themselves
;
and
because
of
the
Ambition
and
Pride
of
some
of
them
,
the
Lord
suffered
them
to
make
this
last
Interruption
upon
you
,
which
was
great
Treachery
in
mans
account
,
that
thereby
their
measure
might
be
filled
up
,
and
that
he
might
give
you
occasion
against
them
,
and
suffer
you
to
be
filled
with
Indignation
towards
them
,
to
break
them
to
pieces
:
And
what
you
do
to
some
of
them
,
in
casting
them
out
,
and
afflicting
them
,
you
are
but
God's
Executioners
therein
;
you
are
the
Executioners
of
his
Anger
,
in
what
you
do
to
them
;
and
who
shall
prevent
you
,
or
forbid
you
to
go
on
?
for
they
have
long
enough
dissembled
with
the
Nation
,
in
professing
more
then
others
,
and
doing
less
;
and
their
Downfall
is
now
come
.
And
God
hath
looked
upon
you
to
be
hard-hearted
and
cruel
enough
,
and
very
fit
Executioners
of
Vengeance
upon
such
men
,
as
I
have
mentioned
.
But
now
concerning
you
,
and
your
present
state
,
as
you
are
in
present
Place
and
Power
,
I
have
something
to
say
to
you
;
Though
they
are
fallen
,
and
you
yet
stand
,
and
you
have
a
little
time
after
them
;
but
this
I
say
,
do
not
glory
over
their
Fall
,
neither
glory
as
though
you
should
stand
forever
;
for
they
were
not
greater
Sinners
then
you
are
,
neither
are
you
one
whit
more
Righteous
then
some
of
them
;
but
you
are
as
sure
to
fall
,
as
they
are
fallen
,
with
no
less
measure
of
Dishonour
and
Affliction
then
is
come
upon
them
;
and
you
are
in
your
last
Hour
;
and
I
dare
not
say
,
that
God
expects
much
more
from
you
,
then
for
the
End
aforesaid
(
viz.
)
To
be
the
Executioners
of
Iustice
upon
men
as
sinful
as
your selves
:
So
do
not
glory
over
them
that
are
fallen
;
but
know
,
that
your
time
also
is
but
short
,
and
your
Fall
may
prove
to
your
Destruction
,
and
theirs
may
prove
to
make
them
better
,
and
refine
them
:
And
if
God
hath
chosen
you
to
execute
some
part
of
his
Wrath
upon
them
,
for
their
Wickedness
,
he
will
doubtless
find
Instruments
to
execute
his
Wrath
upon
you
,
else
he
will
do
it
with
his
own
Hand
;
for
he
purposeth
not
to
spare
you
;
for
your
Sins
cry
as
loud
as
any
other
People
,
and
the
Oppressions
are
as
great
under
you
,
as
under
them
whom
you
condemn
.
And
I
desire
,
if
there
be
any
good
men
amongst
you
,
that
such
who
are
wise
may
consider
,
and
mind
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
in
and
through
all
these
things
that
are
come
to
pass
;
for
God
is
working
as
well
as
you
,
he
is
seeking
to
set
up
a
Kingdom
as
well
as
you
,
and
his
Government
and
yours
cannot
stand
together
;
and
he
will
make
you
know
,
that
he
is
stronger
,
and
his
Government
of
more
force
,
and
your
kingdom
cannot
stand
in
place
with
his
.
Therefore
oh
that
you
would
take
heed
!
oh
that
you
would
be
wise
,
if
so
be
some
of
you
may
be
spared
!
and
be
not
too
zealous
in
your
way
,
nor
too
furious
in
your
proceedings
,
do
but
to
others
as
you
intend
to
receive
from
others
,
and
from
the
Lord
;
and
go
not
beyond
your
Commision
;
for
a
Permission
at
least
you
have
from
God
,
even
to
scourge
Hypocrites
,
and
to
be
a
Judgment
upon
that
Hypocritical
seeming
Religious
Generation
of
men
aforesaid
,
which
have
many
a
time
as
it
were
mocked
God
,
&
pretended
love
to
him
with
their
Lips
,
when
their
Hearts
have
yearned
after
Self-honour
,
and
Treasures
of
this
world
;
I
say
,
your
present
hour
and
permission
is
for
this
end
,
but
not
to
persecute
the
people
of
the
Lord
,
nor
to
destroy
God's
Heritage
;
but
if
you
shall
extend
your
Power
unto
such
a
work
,
and
if
you
do
persecute
the
Innocent
without
cause
,
and
make
war
against
the
Lamb
&
his
Followers
,
and
make
Laws
,
and
execute
them
to
the
oppression
of
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
,
then
you
go
beyond
your
Commission
;
for
God
hath
not
called
you
unto
this
,
but
to
be
Instrument
in
another
Cause
.
And
the
Children
of
Zion
,
they
trust
in
the
Living
God
,
&
fear
not
the
terror
of
mighty
men
,
neither
can
they
be
afraid
at
the
roaring
of
the
Sea
,
nor
at
the
present
threatning
of
the
Heathen
;
for
God
is
with
them
.
And
I
say
to
you
,
The
Servant
of
the
Lord
hath
pondered
and
considered
all
these
proceedings
,
and
viewed
the
present
state
of
things
at
this
day
,
and
there
is
no
Vision
from
God
unto
you
of
Peace
and
Comfort
,
nor
of
a
happy
and
lasting
Government
,
as
you
now
stand
:
If
any
Prophet
shall
divine
this
unto
you
,
he
speaks
what
he
hath
not
from
the
Lord
,
but
the
Vision
of
his
own
Heart
,
and
he
deceives
you
and
himself
;
for
you
are
not
established
upon
a
right
Foundation
,
neither
are
you
acted
by
a
right
Spirit
,
which
can
truly
Govern
for
God
;
but
the
Spirit
of
Wrath
and
Fury
is
put
into
you
,
for
the
work
which
you
are
called
.
And
I
know
not
how
to
warn
you
,
that
you
do
not
persecute
the
People
of
God
;
For
why
?
It
may
be
you
must
fill
up
your
measure
of
Wickedness
thereby
that
God
may
break
you
perpetually
;
yet
the
less
will
be
your
Judgment
,
if
you
do
it
not
;
but
and
if
you
do
it
,
the
Lord
will
take
occasion
against
you
,
to
wound
you
,
and
you
shall
never
be
healed
;
and
as
you
do
afflict
others
,
so
,
and
much
more
shall
it
be
done
unto
you
from
the
Lord
.
Wherefore
consider
what
I
have
said
;
for
this
is
the
Vision
of
the
Almighty
unto
you
,
that
shall
not
go
unfulfilled
:
And
what
you
do
,
you
must
do
it
quickly
;
for
your
time
is
short
and
your
Power
will
God
subdue
;
and
his
Kingdom
and
Power
will
he
speedily
exalt
over
your
heads
,
and
make
you
and
the
Nations
know
,
that
he
is
God
,
and
that
all
Power
is
with
him
,
and
that
he
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
;
and
it
is
his
Right
alone
to
reign
,
and
his
Childrens
Portion
to
possess
the
Kingdom
with
him
.
Let
the
whole
Earth
,
and
all
the
Powers
thereof
,
Bow
and
Tremble
before
him
:
let
not
your
Hearts
be
stout
and
rebellious
against
him
;
for
he
can
grind
you
to
Powder
,
and
sink
you
into
Confusion
and
Misery
,
as
a
Stone
into
the
Sea
.

THE

thee

for
to

you
all
:

in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
and
by
his
Spirit
,
I
do
charge
thee
not
to
be
negligent
in
this
matter
,
as
though
it
were
not
of
worth
to
you
;
and
I
do
lay
it
upon
thee
,
as
a
Work
of
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
to
be
done
by
thee
.
as
thou
wilt
answer
the
contrary
in
the
dreadful
Day
of
God
,
when
the
King
of
Righteousness
shall
judge
thee
and
all
Mankind

AN
ANSWER
TO
A
DECLARATION
Of
the
People
called
Anabaptists
,
In
and
about
the
CITY
of
LONDON
.
Wherein
their
Weakness
and
Ignorance
is
Discovered
under
their
own
Hands
to
the
City
and
Nation
,
as
hereby
may
appear
.
FRIENDS
,
WHereas
your
Declaration
consisteth
of
five
Particulars
,
four
of
which
are
not
of
so
much
concernment
to
me
to
answer
;
but
as
for
one
of
them
,
for
the
Nation
's
sake
,
and
for
the
Truth
's
sake
;
and
that
you
may
be
reproved
,
even
you
the
Heads
,
and
principal
Men
of
your
Congregations
;
and
because
you
are
such
,
under
whose
hands
your
Declaration
passeth
,
therefore
in
that
consideration
,
with
many
others
,
this
I
return
as
an
Answer
to
you
,
and
to
the
City
and
Nation
,
in
pursuit
of
yours
,
that
hath
proceeded
from
a
Heart
of
Unbelief
,
and
unto
Evil
and
Malicious
Intents
against
a
Despised
People
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
owned
,
and
will
own
,
though
you
and
the
whole
World
do
reject
them
.
And
whereas
you
say
,
You
are
Mis-represented
to
the
Nation
,
that
you
do
Countenance
the
People
called
Quakers
in
their
irregular
Practice
:
And
to
clear
your selves
,
you
say
,
It
is
well
known
to
all
,
there
are
none
more
opposit
to
their
irregular
Practices
then
we
are
(
say
you
)
nor
are
there
any
that
they
have
exprest
more
Contradiction
to
then
against
us
;
though
their
Provocation
therein
hath
not
put
us
on
a
desire
(
say
you
)
of
depriving
them
of
their
Iust
Liberty
,
while
they
live
Morrally
Honest
,
and
peaceable
in
the
Nation
,
&c.
Answer
,
Oh
ye
Heads
and
principal
Men
,
and
ye
chief
Pastors
,
Elders
and
Members
(
so
called
)
of
Churches
!
What
have
ye
done
?
and
wherefore
have
you
thus
proceeded
?
Why
have
ye
renounced
an
Innocent
People
that
never
did
you
harm
,
nor
ever
gave
any
Offence
unto
you
,
saving
in
crying
against
the
deadness
of
your
Forms
,
and
Traditions
,
and
seeming
Religious
Practices
,
and
reproving
Evil
in
you
?
Alas
for
you
!
(
ye
accounted
Wise-men
)
Do
you
judge
any
Advantage
will
be
unto
your selves
in
this
thing
?
or
,
Do
you
think
to
work
a
Disadvantage
unto
us
by
your
Renouncing
and
Denial
of
us
?
I
must
tell
you
,
We
are
not
troubled
hereat
for
our
own
sakes
,
neither
is
any
part
of
our
Hope
or
Confidence
concerning
you
made
void
;
for
we
never
looked
upon
some
of
you
to
be
otherwise
then
our
Enemies
in
your
hearts
.
Oh
ye
Hypocrites
!
whom
God
will
judge
because
of
your
Hypocrisie
,
who
now
as
much
as
in
you
lies
(
if
it
were
in
your
power
)
you
would
leave
us
to
the
Mercilesness
of
Cruel
Men
,
you
would
save
your selves
,
and
leave
us
to
the
Mercy
of
the
Devil
;
but
though
you
renounce
us
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
owned
us
,
and
will
own
us
to
your
grief
:
And
what
are
you
become
our
Accusers
?
Are
you
become
Chargers
of
us
with
irregular
Practice
?
Are
you
endeavouring
to
make
us
more
odious
in
the
Eyes
of
Wicked
Men
,
then
we
are
,
for
Righteousness
sake
?
But
wherefore
have
ye
done
this
?
Is
it
to
save
your selves
from
Reproaches
?
Have
you
therefore
Reproached
us
,
and
have
you
sought
to
make
us
Vile
,
that
your selves
might
appear
free
?
And
have
you
thought
to
gain
the
Favour
of
the
Wicked
,
and
to
make
a
Peace
with
your
Enemies
,
by
reviling
of
us
unto
them
?
Is
this
your
End
,
Oh
ye
Dissemblers
!
to
Reproach
us
to
the
Nation
and
City
behind
our
backs
?
You
Church-Members
(
so
called
)
and
Teachers
,
and
Pastors
and
principal
Men
,
that
would
save
your selves
,
and
gratifie
the
Devil
,
and
joyn
in
Union
with
the
Wicked
,
and
make
your selves
Friends
with
them
,
by
Slandering
and
Renouncing
the
Peaceable
People
,
who
are
more
so
then
your selves
,
and
none
of
them
guilty
of
Irregularity
,
as
much
as
some
of
you
;
though
you
would
fawn
upon
the
Nation
and
City
by
renouncing
of
us
,
as
if
we
were
Irregular
,
and
so
and
so
;
but
do
you
think
the
Nation
and
City
have
not
taken
notice
?
or
however
,
hereby
they
may
:
What
if
I
say
unto
them
and
you
,
That
none
of
the
Quakers
ever
were
so
instrumental
,
by
illegal
Opposition
,
for
the
turning
out
of
Parliaments
,
and
changing
the
Government
of
this
Nation
into
Confusion
,
like
as
some
of
you
Anabaptists
have
been
?
And
this
the
City
and
Nation
may
take
notice
of
the
Irregularity
of
some
of
your selves
,
who
have
been
instrumental
,
even
by
illegal
Opposition
,
and
perfect
Tyranny
in
mens
account
,
and
Treachery
also
,
to
the
turning
out
Parliaments
,
and
thereby
wronging
the
Nation
for
their
own
Advantages
;
so
that
the
practice
of
some
of
you
hath
been
more
unlawful
,
and
contrary
to
Law
,
then
ours
hath
been
,
and
the
City
and
Nation
may
take
notice
of
it
;
as
your
Declaration
is
to
them
,
so
is
this
my
Answer
,
Never
any
Quaker
(
so
called
)
in
War-like
posture
,
hath
stood
in
Defiance
,
and
been
Instruments
to
turn
out
peoples
lawful
Representatives
:
Did
not
some
of
your
Brethren
,
even
of
the
Anabaptists
,
take
Commission
from
the
late
Parliament
,
and
no
less
then
Vowing
Fidility
to
them
,
and
yet
presently
rose
in
Opposition
to
them
,
and
turned
them
out
of
doors
?
And
was
not
this
Treachery
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
Irregularity
?
And
can
the
Nation
charge
any
of
them
called
Quakers
with
any
such
Work
?
No
,
they
cannot
;
but
some
of
the
Anabaptists
they
may
,
even
with
this
and
other
the
like
illegal
dealing
:
And
more
I
might
instance
,
and
not
charge
you
behind
your
backs
,
as
you
have
falsly
done
of
us
;
but
I
may
affirm
to
your
faces
,
and
justly
prove
these
,
and
such
things
upon
you
.
But
why
have
you
not
named
what
irregular
Practice
the
Quakers
are
guilty
of
?
I
charge
you
,
you
Subscribers
against
us
,
and
Accusers
of
us
,
to
prove
your
Accusation
;
I
say
,
I
charge
you
before
the
Lord
,
and
this
whole
Nation
and
City
,
to
prove
your
Accusation
,
and
to
instance
what
particular
Practices
,
performed
and
owned
amongst
us
,
either
in
relation
to
just
Government
in
Church
or
State
,
that
are
irregular
,
and
you
shall
have
a
Reply
;
though
you
say
,
There
are
none
more
opposit
to
our
irregular
Practice
then
you
are
.
Oh!
how
fain
would
you
flatter
and
fawn
upon
our
Enemies
,
to
make
peace
with
the
Devil
?
how
would
you
creep
by
Craft
,
and
joyn
into
a
League
with
our
and
your
Enemies
?
and
how
fain
would
you
be
at
peace
with
them
,
and
leave
us
even
to
their
Mercilesness
,
if
it
were
in
your
power
?
have
we
ever
dealt
thus
by
you
?
Have
we
ever
sought
to
render
you
Rebels
and
Traitors
to
the
Nation
,
as
in
effect
you
have
done
to
us
?
Have
we
ever
sought
Occasions
against
you
,
and
to
present
you
to
the
Nation
as
vile
as
we
could
,
for
to
save
our selves
,
and
leave
you
to
the
will
of
your
Enemies
?
this
have
you
done
to
us
,
and
we
leave
you
to
be
rewarded
even
by
the
Lord
,
who
will
never
renounce
us
,
nor
cast
us
out
,
though
you
do
in
such
a
time
as
this
,
a
time
of
Confusion
and
Distraction
,
wherein
,
if
the
Lord
did
not
appear
to
be
our
Defence
more
then
men
,
we
should
be
swallowed
up
of
our
Enemies
:
And
must
you
,
even
a
seperate
People
,
Members
,
Pastors
and
Ministers
of
Churches
(
so
called
)
renounce
us
at
this
season
,
on
purpose
to
have
us
destroyed
so
much
as
you
may
?
Well
,
we
have
not
dealt
so
with
you
,
neither
do
we
desire
to
uncover
your
Nakedness
to
the
Nation
;
you
had
not
had
thus
much
,
if
you
had
not
been
the
occasion
of
it
your selves
;
and
surely
what
you
have
done
in
this
particular
,
some
of
your
own
Members
will
not
accept
it
from
you
with
thanks
to
you
;
but
I
shall
say
more
to
you
when
I
have
under
all
your
hands
the
particular
Practices
,
which
you
charge
to
be
irregular
.
And
though
there
hath
been
and
is
Contradictions
between
us
and
you
in
matters
of
Religion
,
and
difference
in
particular
Practices
about
Church
,
and
Ministers
,
&
Orders
,
&c.
Yet
what
is
this
?
this
was
amongst
our selves
,
though
hereof
you
have
no
reason
to
boast
,
as
of
any
Victory
that
you
have
obtained
over
us
in
any
such
Controversie
,
neither
hath
the
Spirit
of
God
so
appeared
in
that
Authority
among
you
,
as
that
you
have
gained
any
from
us
to
you
,
but
rather
the
contrary
;
but
what
of
these
Contentions
?
we
have
never
so
contended
with
you
,
as
that
we
have
hated
your
Persons
,
or
sought
to
betray
you
into
the
hands
of
devouring
Mouthes
,
the
Lord
is
our
Witness
in
this
,
though
you
have
done
contrary
(
even
sought
to
betray
our
Persons
in
this
your
work
)
and
I
must
tell
you
,
Dishonestly
and
Undiscreetly
have
you
done
in
this
matter
,
who
never
could
unto
this
day
,
in
any
Contest
between
us
about
Religious
Matters
,
convince
us
of
Error
or
irregular
Practices
,
though
now
you
have
accused
us
to
the
whole
Nation
,
and
not
as
in
a
way
of
Debate
about
Religion
,
but
as
in
matter
of
State
Irregularity
;
whereby
plainly
appears
,
that
you
seek
to
betray
us
,
even
our
Persons
into
the
hands
of
our
Merciless
Enemies
;
and
you
would
make
Peace
with
them
,
and
deliver
us
into
their
Merciless
hands
;
and
thereby
shew
hatred
,
not
unto
us
as
upon
the
account
of
Religion
only
,
but
even
Hatred
to
our
Persons
,
and
have
accused
us
as
of
Personal
Irregularity
;
and
so
have
not
shewed
Love
to
our
Persons
,
but
rather
sought
our
Destruction
:
Oh
,
ye
Wicked
Men
!
to
whose
charge
God
shall
lay
this
Iniquity
of
Treachery
and
Unfaithful
Dealing
to
us
,
even
as
with
Brethren
,
which
is
the
most
deceitful
Iniquity
.
And
alas
for
you
!
What
,
are
your
Desires
of
depriving
us
of
our
just
Liberty
?
God
shall
give
us
Liberty
,
and
from
him
we
shall
enjoy
it
whether
you
will
or
no
;
and
for
our
just
Liberty
we
shall
not
be
beholding
to
you
,
though
I
must
tell
you
,
if
our
Liberty
were
in
your
power
,
it
is
greatly
to
be
doubted
,
and
even
your
own
dealing
in
this
your
Declaration
gives
occasion
for
it
,
that
our
Liberty
would
be
enslaved
,
if
it
were
in
your
hands
;
but
we
bless
the
Lord
,
it
is
in
his
Hand
,
and
not
in
yours
:
for
so
much
of
Treachery
towards
us
has
here
appeared
,
even
in
giving
us
up
(
so
much
as
in
you
is
)
to
the
will
of
our
Enemies
,
and
the
spirit
is
in
you
which
would
betray
Brethren
,
that
for
the
time
to
come
we
can
never
trust
you
;
but
we
do
not
give
our
Power
to
you
,
to
enjoy
our
Liberty
from
you
,
nor
ever
shall
.
And
if
we
walk
Morrally
Honest
and
Peaceable
in
the
Nation
,
it
is
more
then
you
do
in
this
matter
;
for
this
your
practice
is
not
morrally
honest
,
in
accusing
of
us
behind
our
backs
to
the
Nation
and
City
,
and
Authorities
thereof
of
Irregularity
,
&c.
though
,
as
I
have
said
,
never
any
of
us
had
so
great
a
hand
by
open
opposition
,
tending
to
make
War
in
the
Nation
,
as
some
of
you
in
some
things
I
might
instance
,
even
for
their
sakes
to
whom
you
yove
accused
us
;
and
that
we
are
more
peaceable
then
some
of
your selves
,
the
Nation
and
City
knows
:
Have
we
thrust
our selves
into
Arms
,
and
sought
Offices
,
and
Places
and
Commands
,
as
some
of
you
have
?
Have
ever
any
of
us
appear'd
in
Arms
against
Parliament
and
Nation
,
as
some
of
you
?
Have
we
given
the
City
or
the
Nation
,
by
any
visible
Appearance
,
to
fear
a
War
from
us
,
as
you
have
done
?
Let
the
Nation
and
City
,
and
the
Witness
in
all
mens
Consciences
judge
;
so
that
we
are
known
to
be
peaceable
,
as
much
,
or
more
then
your selves
;
for
we
have
never
sought
to
you
to
take
up
Arms
with
us
,
as
some
among
you
have
sought
to
others
;
which
may
demonstrate
,
that
we
are
as
peaceable
in
the
Nation
,
if
not
more
then
you
;
and
so
you
needed
not
to
have
premised
such
a
thing
on
our
behalf
.
And
thus
I
have
in
short
returned
your
secret
Treachery
upon
your
own
heads
,
and
answered
that
same
part
of
your
Declaration
,
wherein
I
and
the
Truth
,
and
the
whole
Flock
of
God
was
any
way
concerned
;
and
as
for
the
rest
of
your
Declaration
I
will
not
seek
occasion
against
it
,
though
in
some
other
things
also
therein
exprest
,
I
might
search
out
your
hearts
,
and
discover
the
rottenness
of
them
:
And
where
you
say
,
You
declare
Magistracy
to
be
an
Ordinance
,
&c.
might
not
I
tell
the
Nation
and
City
,
That
you
are
not
content
with
Magistracy
,
except
of
your
own
Sect
?
and
might
not
I
say
,
Why
were
not
you
contented
with
that
Assembly
of
men
that
last
sate
?
and
wherefore
was
it
that
you
,
even
some
of
you
Anabaptists
,
were
the
chief
Instruments
,
with
Swords
in
your
hands
,
to
dissolve
them
?
and
so
were
Instruments
in
bringing
the
Nation
into
present
Confusion
.
And
whereas
you
speak
of
the
publick
Ministers
of
the
Nation
,
You
are
far
from
endeavouring
to
destroy
them
(
say
you
)
and
it
is
your
Duty
to
stand
by
them
,
and
preserve
them
from
all
Violence
and
Injury
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
,
What
are
you
about
to
make
a
League
and
a
Covenant
with
Antichrist
?
Have
you
for
these
many
years
been
opposing
them
in
words
,
and
are
you
now
recanting
of
what
you
have
done
,
when
you
are
sensible
of
a
Danger
upon
you
?
and
will
you
now
bind
your selves
to
stand
by
them
,
and
preserve
them
from
all
Injury
,
and
even
as
they
are
Ministers
too
?
But
let
me
ask
you
,
Do
you
look
upon
them
to
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
or
of
Antichrist
?
If
true
Ministers
of
Christ
,
wherefore
do
you
oppose
them
,
&
cry
against
them
in
your
Pulpits
,
&
have
formerly
your selves
,
and
some
of
your
Brethren
yet
do
publickly
oppose
them
both
by
word
&
writing
?
Oh
,
ye
Hypocrites
!
But
if
they
are
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
then
how
is
it
that
you
will
stand
by
them
and
preserve
them
as
such
,
and
would
bind
it
upon
them
as
their
Duty
to
stand
by
,
and
preserve
you
?
Is
not
this
a
League
with
Hell
and
Death
?
Are
you
turned
backwards
into
Love
and
Affection
towards
them
again
,
and
so
lost
your
former
Principles
?
And
is
your
Zeal
quite
grown
cold
,
or
are
you
now
only
Flattering
and
Daubing
with
the
Ministers
,
because
you
see
Danger
from
them
,
while
you
seek
but
greater
Advantage
against
them
?
They
may
indeed
tell
you
,
They
look
upon
you
as
not
Destroyers
of
their
Wayes
and
Practices
,
neither
to
ease
the
Nation
from
any
Burden
,
which
they
have
laid
upon
it
:
For
it
is
manifest
,
though
you
deny
them
in
some
particulars
,
some
of
you
;
yet
you
can
cry
against
that
in
some
of
them
,
and
yet
uphold
the
same
thing
;
I
may
lawfully
instance
,
that
some
of
your
Brethren
,
some
in
this
Nation
,
and
some
in
Ireland
,
take
,
or
have
lately
taken
Tythes
for
Preaching
,
and
have
Yearly
Stipends
,
and
so
much
by
the
Year
out
of
the
States
Treasure
for
Preaching
,
One
Hundred
Pound
,
Two
Hundred
Pound
,
and
Three
Hundred
Pound
a
piece
by
the
year
;
which
indeed
doth
shew
that
you
are
not
intending
to
destroy
their
oppressing
and
abominable
practices
;
but
the
rather
,
that
you
would
turn
them
out
of
great
Places
and
Benefices
,
and
turn
your selves
in
:
Oh
Deceit
and
Wickedness
!
which
I
am
forced
to
lay
open
upon
this
Occasion
,
of
your
own
just
Provocation
hereunto
.
And
as
for
their
preserving
you
,
and
you
them
,
against
such
as
do
oppose
you
;
they
may
easily
joyn
with
you
in
this
,
if
they
could
hope
in
your
Faithfulness
;
for
some
of
you
,
and
your
Members
,
have
shewed
as
much
Enmity
,
have
been
open
Persecutors
,
even
as
they
and
their
Members
have
been
;
and
your
Members
have
been
sending
the
People
of
God
to
Prison
,
and
persecuting
them
,
even
as
the
common
Priests
of
the
Nation
;
and
you
appear
to
be
guided
by
the
same
spirit
in
many
things
;
and
if
they
be
Antichristian
in
their
wayes
and
practices
,
its
sure
that
you
are
not
of
Christ
,
because
you
are
like
unto
them
in
Nature
.
And
in
that
you
say
,
You
would
have
none
tollerated
in
their
Religion
that
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
;
but
you
would
tollerate
Episcopacy
,
Presbytery
,
or
a
●●inted
Form
,
&c.
(
say
you
.
)
To
which
I
say
,
I
know
that
spirit
that
you
are
of
,
if
it
had
its
full
authority
would
tollerate
none
but
your selves
;
for
your
spirit
in
nature
differs
not
from
the
spirit
of
the
Church
of
Rome
:
And
what
are
you
now
for
tollerating
Episcopacy
,
who
were
once
your selves
(
in
your
Zeal
for
God
,
when
your
sincerity
was
not
darkned
,
nor
your
hearts
so
much
corrupted
through
Places
of
Honour
,
and
through
such
things
,
as
now
they
are
)
Instruments
to
the
pulling
down
of
Episcopacy
?
and
will
you
now
tollerate
it
again
,
and
help
to
set
it
up
,
and
build
what
you
have
destroyed
,
as
if
you
recanted
of
what
you
had
done
?
but
plainly
shewing
that
you
are
not
of
the
same
Spirit
that
once
you
were
of
;
but
have
lost
Sincerity
,
and
can
embrace
Idolatry
;
for
once
ye
were
the
men
that
did
oppose
it
,
and
did
violently
help
to
pull
it
down
;
but
now
you
are
for
tolleration
.
Oh!
unconstant
men
,
this
is
to
you
,
not
herein
discovering
my
Judgement
in
the
case
,
and
if
Episcopacy
,
why
may
not
Popery
be
tollerated
?
seeing
they
are
one
and
the
self
same
in
ground
and
nature
,
and
not
much
different
in
appearance
,
and
you
may
agree
to
tollerate
a
stinted
Form
in
others
,
because
your selves
are
in
a
stinted
Form
also
;
for
what
is
yours
else
but
a
form
,
crying
up
your
water
and
bread
and
wine
,
and
differing
from
the
World
onely
in
these
outward
things
,
when
as
the
City
and
Nation
knows
you
are
men
as
covetous
,
as
worldly
minded
,
as
ambitious
,
as
self-seeking
of
honour
and
places
as
any
others
in
the
Nation
;
and
your
Religion
appears
to
be
a
stinted
Form
as
much
as
others
;
Alas
poor
men
,
you
have
discovered
your
hearts
in
your
Declaration
,
and
according
to
the
corruption
thereof
I
cannot
but
answer
you
;
and
there
are
some
that
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
and
say
they
are
the
Words
of
God
,
and
a
Declaration
,
and
a
Treatise
of
what
the
Saints
believed
and
enjoyed
;
and
Christ
is
the
Word
of
God
,
that
may
in
time
to
come
be
tollerated
in
their
Religion
in
this
Nation
,
though
you
have
renounced
them
:
but
while
they
are
owned
and
regarded
of
the
Lord
,
they
respect
not
your
love
nor
hatred
,
who
are
mortal
men
,
and
your
breath
in
your
nostrils
,
and
must
fall
and
perish
as
the
dung
in
all
your
beauty
,
and
your
profession
of
Religion
,
before
the
coming
of
the
Son
of
God
.
And
in
your
Post-script
you
say
,
you
have
under
you
hands
sent
forth
your
Declaration
in
behalf
of
your selves
,
and
others
of
your
Iudgement
;
but
I
must
tell
you
,
I
do
believe
there
are
some
even
of
those
called
Anabaptists
which
will
reject
your
work
,
and
to
them
my
answer
is
not
,
for
I
spare
them
:
but
to
you
fearful
Hypocrites
in
a
time
of
danger
,
that
have
in
this
juncture
of
time
renounced
us
without
ground
or
reason
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
but
for
your
〈◊〉
,
as
if
you
would
gain
the
favour
of
the
Nation
and
City
by
denial
of
●●s
,
and
looking
upon
your selves
to
be
reproached
because
of
us
,
when
as
you
are
a
Company
of
unworthy
men
,
even
unworthy
of
our
reproaches
,
and
to
escape
them
have
denied
us
,
as
seeming
to
clear
your selves
;
but
you
are
deceived
in
this
matter
,
and
it
shall
turn
to
work
against
you
in
the
Nation
,
and
in
the
City
;
for
we
have
a
more
surer
witness
in
their
Consciences
,
even
in
the
Consciences
of
all
people
,
that
we
are
of
God
,
then
you
have
;
for
take
but
away
your
outward
water
,
and
Bread
and
Wine
,
and
some
few
outward
Practices
,
and
what
do
you
differ
from
the
worst
sort
of
men
in
the
Nation
?
for
doth
not
Pride
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
Self-Love
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
the
love
of
this
World
abound
amongst
you
,
as
much
as
amongst
any
others
?
the
Witness
in
Peoples
Consciences
knows
it
,
which
shall
be
a
Witness
for
us
,
and
against
you
.
You
may
indeed
have
gained
League
with
the
worst
sort
of
men
in
the
Nation
,
but
you
have
not
gained
the
sincerity
in
people
,
and
while
we
have
that
on
our
side
to
witness
for
us
,
take
you
the
rude
multitude
,
for
we
are
not
discouraged
at
all
concerning
this
thing
,
but
the
rather
do
glory
in
the
Lord
though
we
be
denied
of
all
,
for
though
men
forsake
us
,
yet
the
Lord
careth
for
us
,
and
your
own
doing
shall
return
upon
your
own
heads
:
and
thus
much
is
sufficient
to
the
substance
of
your
Declaration
,
and
if
I
receive
any
reply
,
I
shall
expect
it
under
the
hands
of
you
all
,
that
I
may
further
search
,
and
discover
you
unto
your selves
,
and
to
the
Nation
.
And
whereas
there
is
a
Manuscript
goes
abroad
,
consisting
of
five
particulars
,
which
is
said
that
it
was
delivered
in
to
the
Committee
of
Safety
,
as
Advice
and
Counsel
to
them
,
but
who
the
Authors
of
it
are
is
something
uncertain
;
but
certain
it
is
,
that
some
of
the
called
Independant
Ministers
and
Pastors
were
the
chief
Promoters
of
it
;
and
in
the
Copy
which
was
delivered
to
my
hands
it
is
said
,
These
five
Particulars
were
the
result
of
a
little
Synod
,
made
up
of
Presbyterians
,
Independants
and
Anabaptists
;
but
whether
it
is
so
or
no
,
I
leave
that
,
and
would
say
something
to
some
of
the
Particulars
,
and
even
to
the
Committee
of
Safety
,
and
Officers
of
the
Army
,
and
all
others
of
the
Nation
,
for
their
better
information
then
the
same
Paper
describeth
to
them
.
The
third
Particular
consisteth
about
the
Magistrates
Power
in
matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
the
Authors
say
,
Though
they
greatly
prize
Christian
Liberty
,
yet
they
profess
utter
dislike
and
abhorrency
of
an
Universal
tolleration
,
as
being
contrary
to
the
mind
of
God
in
his
Word
.
Answ.
It
appears
the
Authors
are
lovers
of
themselves
,
and
prizers
of
their
own
Liberty
,
but
not
of
the
Liberty
of
others
,
but
do
utterly
dislike
and
●●ber
the
tolleration
of
others
,
which
may
indeed
be
more
righteous
then
themselves
,
and
this
is
no
less
then
the
very
Principle
of
the
Whore
of
Rome
,
which
Promotes
her
own
Liberty
and
makes
others
Slaves
,
and
ahhor●
,
tolleration
to
any
but
themselves
;
and
they
plead
Scriptures
as
well
as
you
for
proof
of
their
Religion
,
and
they
will
say
all
that
differs
from
them
are
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
even
as
you
say
,
when
as
there
is
very
little
better
foundation
in
the
Scriptures
for
your
Religion
then
there
is
for
theirs
;
and
it
is
doubtful
to
many
what
Religion
this
day
extant
is
perfectly
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
but
yet
thus
much
may
be
said
,
That
Church
,
and
that
Religion
which
are
not
in
the
same
Spirit
as
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
are
not
according
unto
the
Scriptures
;
and
he
that
can
distinguish
of
this
,
and
who
it
is
that
hath
the
same
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
is
only
able
to
judge
what
Religion
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
But
can
the
Authors
shew
plainly
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
that
their
Religion
is
only
according
thereunto
,
and
all
others
the
contrary
?
and
until
they
prove
this
;
why
may
not
the
Rulers
,
that
are
of
may
be
in
this
Nation
,
give
Tolleration
unto
other
sorts
of
People
,
as
well
as
to
the
Independants
,
the
supposed
Authors
of
this
Paper
.
The
fourth
Particular
consisteth
concerning
Tythes
,
and
say
they
,
The
taking
away
of
Tythes
for
Maintenance
of
Ministers
,
until
as
full
a
Maintenance
be
as
equally
secured
,
and
as
equally
settled
,
tends
very
much
to
the
Destruction
of
the
Ministry
,
and
Preaching
of
the
Gospel
in
these
Nations
.
Answ.
Alas
for
you
,
poor
ignorant
Creatures
,
ye
foolish
men
,
that
seems
to
have
no
understanding
of
the
Ministry
and
Gospel
of
Christ
;
Do
you
indeed
think
that
the
true
Ministry
of
Christ
,
and
the
Preaching
of
the
Gospel
depends
upon
Maintenance
by
Tythes
?
Oh
,
ye
Robbers
of
God
,
who
have
secretly
dishonoured
him
in
your
hearts
,
and
publickly
disgraced
him
as
much
as
in
you
lyes
to
the
Nation
,
as
if
he
were
not
able
to
save
his
Ministry
,
and
the
Preaching
of
his
Gospel
from
destruction
,
if
Tithes
be
taken
away
;
Surely
,
you
err
in
your
Judgements
,
and
have
no
acquaintance
with
God
,
nor
with
his
Ministry
nor
Gospel
,
who
have
thus
dishonoured
him
in
setting
up
that
Maintenance
by
the
forcible
and
unjust
oppression
of
Tythes
to
be
the
preserving
of
Ministry
and
Gospel
,
and
as
if
Tythes
were
the
upholding
of
Ministry
and
Gospel
;
and
you
have
thus
falsly
and
wickedly
measured
God
,
his
Ministry
and
Gospel
by
the
wickedness
of
your
own
hearts
,
who
seem
to
be
indeed
of
those
Hirelings
that
cheat
Souls
for
money
,
and
run
for
the
gift
like
Balaam
,
and
for
the
lucre
like
the
evil
Beasts
,
and
Slow-bellies
;
and
so
I
do
believe
that
your
false
Ministry
indeed
,
and
your
feigned
pretence
of
preaching
the
Gospel
do
depend
upon
great
sums
of
money
,
and
upon
large
Maintenances
,
and
we
believe
that
indeed
is
the
chief
Reason
of
your
Preaching
;
and
of
your
Ministry
,
and
it
is
very
possible
that
your
Ministry
and
Preaching
may
fall
,
which
is
Antichristian
,
when
Tythes
and
Hire
is
taken
away
,
which
Ministry
dependeth
thereupon
;
but
the
true
Ministry
and
preaching
of
the
Gospel
will
God
maintain
and
uphold
,
though
the
oppression
of
Tythes
be
vanquished
;
and
I
hope
some
of
the
Rulers
of
this
Nation
,
and
Officers
of
the
Army
will
not
believe
your
advice
;
but
yet
you
seem
to
be
willing
to
renounce
Tythes
,
if
you
could
have
as
full
a
Maintenance
setled
another
way
;
so
that
however
great
maintenance
comes
,
you
regard
not
,
so
you
can
have
that
,
whether
by
this
way
of
Oppression
,
or
the
other
,
it
s
your

you
love
and
follow
after
,
and
seek
unto
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
for
that
end
;
and
how
equally
and
legally
Tythes
have
been
setled
,
which
you
seem
to
affirm
,
let
all
good
People
judge
;
given
they
were
,
and
setled
first
in
our
Nation
by
the
Popes
Authority
,
to
be
the
Maintenance
of
that
Whore's
Ministers
,
and
the
Laws
that
gave
them
,
and
setled
them
have
been
Antichristian
and
Oppression
in
the
Nation
,
and
there
is
the
guilt
of
Blood
,
and
of
cruel
unjust
sufferings
lying
upon
this
Nation
in
that
very
cause
of
Tythes
,
and
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
gone
out
against
it
,
and
against
all
Contenders
for
it
,
and
God
will
redeem
the
Nation
from
●●der
it
,
though
you
be
putting
your
strength
to
uphold
it
through
your
hypocritical
Prayers
,
and
Preaching
,
and
Flatteries
with
God
and
man
.
The
fifth
particular
is
,
these
Authors
desire
,
that
countenance
be
not
given
unto
,
nor
trust
reposed
in
the
hands
of
Quakers
,
being
persons
of
such
Principles
that
are
distructive
to
the
Gospel
,
and
inconsistent
with
peace
and
civil
society
.
Answ.
Here
your
wickedness
and
the
malice
of
your
hearts
is
let
forth
against
the
dispised
People
for
their
righteousness
sake
;
and
this
spirit
of
yours
would
not
only
discountenance
them
,
but
destroy
them
from
the
face
of
the
Earth
,
if
it
were
in
your
Hands
,
and
you
are
worse
then
Baalam
ever
was
,
and
far
more
blind
then
he
;
for
you
are
as
it
were
seeking
inchantments
against
the
People
of
God
for
Money
,
and
you
see
not
the
goodly
tents
of
Iacob
,
as
he
did
,
nor
the
People
that
are
altogether
blessed
;
Oh!
ye
envious
persons
that
are
even
a
preparing
as
much
as
in
you
is
the
destruction
of
a
peaceable
People
,
and
that
would
keep
them
in
slavery
under
you
,
and
you
would
have
the
countenance
of
the
powers
of
the
Earth
,
but
they
must
not
,
and
you
would
Monopolize
all
the
places
of
trust
for
advantage
to
your selves
,
and
you
would
hardly
allow
the
People
of
God
a
place
on
the
Ground
;
Oh!
ye
sinful
Hypocrites
and
Flatterers
and
Slanderers
of
the
just
;
but
what
need
you
have
made
such
preparation
against
them
?
do
they
seek
places
of
honour
among
you
?
do
they
delight
in
great
places
among
men
?
do
they
love
to
be
great
in
this
World
?
nay
their
Kingdom
is
from
above
,
and
they
reject
the
countenanance
of
the
Be●●●
Authority
,
and
they
reject
any
confidence
that
the
Dragon
and
unjust
po●…
can
repose
in
them
,
and
you
need
not
have
been
afraid
in
this
matter
,
and
thereupon
slandered
us
,
and
have
back-bited
us
to
the
powers
of
the
Earth
,
what
do
you
fear
?
even
the
thing
which
you
fear
will
God
in
a
judgement
bring
upon
you
,
and
there
is
a
Government
to
be
set
up
in
this
Nation
,
even
that
which
is
of
the
Lamb
;
and
your
Antichristian
Monarchy
the
Beast
with
all
his
Heads
and
Horns
shall
fall
to
the
Ground
,
and
the
Lord
may
bring
your
fear
upon
you
to
your
utter
confusion
,
though
you
are
making
defences
all
that
you
can
for
your selves
and
your
Kingdom
;
and
this
seems
to
be
〈…〉
●●y
wherein
every
mans
heart
is
tryed
,
and
every
man
and
sort
of
People
is
pouring
,
forth
the
Maliciousness
of
their
Hearts
against
the
poor
People
in
scorn
called
Quakers
;
What
say
the
Papists
and
Episcopal
men
?
Quakers
are
〈◊〉
New
Sect
,
and
Deceivers
,
&c.
And
what
say
the
Presbyterians
and
the
Independan●●
of
them
?
Oh!
they
are
Seducers
,
they
are
Witches
,
they
are
false
Prophets
,
they
are
Vagabonds
,
not
worthy
of
Countenance
,
&c.
nor
any
Place
of
Trust
in
the
Nation
,
&c.
What
say
the
Anabaptists
of
them
?
O!
they
are
Blasphemers
,
and
Hereticks
,
and
Irregular
Persons
,
and
distructive
to
Gospel
,
&c.
This
and
such
like
is
the
Cry
of
these
,
and
all
sorts
of
people
,
against
a
poor
despised
People
,
whom
the
Eternal
God
hath
made
dreadful
unto
them
all
,
who
shall
be
a
Rod
in
his
Hand
,
to
break
them
and
confound
them
,
and
utterly
to
destroy
their
Antichristian
kingdom
;
for
they
are
beloved
of
the
Lord
,
though
hated
of
all
men
,
and
though
the
whole
Body
of
the
Beast
and
Antichrist
,
and
every
Horn
of
his
head
do
set
themselves
to
War
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
;
and
though
all
these
sorts
of
people
mentioned
,
and
some
others
,
do
at
this
day
pour
out
their
Fury
and
Malice
against
this
People
,
yet
shall
they
not
be
confounded
,
for
their
Trust
is
in
the
Living
God
;
and
as
sure
as
the
Lord
lives
,
The
Fear
that
People
have
of
the
Prosperity
of
this
People
shall
come
upon
them
;
and
without
Weapon
,
or
Arm
of
Flesh
,
or
the
Multitude
of
an
Host
of
Men
,
will
their
God
dash
their
Enemies
to
pieces
.
And
all
ye
Sects
whatsoever
,
that
are
risen
in
Opposition
against
us
;
what
do
we
regard
your
Fury
and
Madness
against
us
?
What
do
we
fear
your
Reviling
,
you
uncircumcised
Philistines
?
We
mock
at
your
Terror
,
and
we
reject
your
Strength
as
the
Strength
of
a
Straw
;
we
despise
your
Authority
,
which
is
not
of
God
,
as
the
Authority
of
so
many
Bryars
and
Thornes
;
we
can
glory
over
you
in
the
Lord
;
What
are
you
?
and
from
whence
did
you
come
?
is
not
Babylon
your
City
?
and
is
not
the
great
Whore
your
Mother
,
and
the
Mother
of
Harlots
your
Nurse
?
and
what
is
your
growth
,
but
even
like
the
Grass
of
a
Summer's
growth
,
that
's
soon
cut
down
and
withered
;
and
like
the
Leaf
of
a
Summer
Tree
,
that
utterly
perisheth
in
Winter
?
The
Mighty
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
your
Door
,
Confusion
is
begun
amongst
you
,
and
the
Sword
of
one
may
destroy
another
,
and
the
Strength
of
one
shall
tear
another
,
and
the
Remnant
that
is
left
shall
be
destroyed
,
and
we
must
overcome
them
without
Sword
or
Carnal
Weapon
,
and
this
shall
come
to
pass
in
a
day
;
and
the
Eye
that
is
yet
blind
shall
see
it
,
and
the
Child
that
is
yet
undelivered
shall
be
a
Conqueror
over
the
Beast
,
and
over
his
Image
,
and
over
all
your
false
Sects
,
and
over
every
Horn
that
is
risen
up
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
;
the
time
of
the
Lamb's
Kingdom
is
at
hand
.
Behold
,
behold
,
ye
Mountains
of
the
Earth
,
The
Sentence
of
Eternal
Vengeance
will
pass
upon
you
;
ye
Hypocritical
Professors
,
ye
Pastors
,
Elders
,
Members
and
Ministers
of
Churches
(
so
called
)
the
Decree
of
the
,
Almighty
is
coming
out
against
you
;
you
have
provoked
him
by
your
Wickedness
towards
him
and
his
People
,
even
to
the
Destruction
of
your
own
selves
:
wherefore
Tremble
before
the
Lord
;
for
his
Dread
,
and
the
weight
of
his
Hand
,
shall
be
upon
your
Consciences
.
Oh
Nation
,
mourn
over
thy
iniquities
which
have
provoked
God
against
thee
,
and
if
men
turn
not
unto
him
,
his
sore
Judgment
will
be
upon
thee
:
we
are
not
for
this
Party
,
or
the
other
,
neither
do
we
justifie
one
side
in
opposition
to
another
;
for
we
see
the
Earth
is
corrupted
,
and
all
sorts
of
men
that
are
this
day
striving
one
sort
against
another
,
are
in
a
wrong
way
,
and
in
a
wrong
spirit
;
and
we
cannot
side
with
any
of
them
,
but
we
rather
mourn
over
the
Nation
,
who
is
torn
in
pieces
by
the
ambitious
spirit
of
her
pretended
Rulers
;
and
we
desire
the
repentance
of
all
,
and
not
the
destruction
of
any
,
and
we
are
for
Gods
part
,
and
not
for
men
.
E.
B.
AN
ANSWER
TO
THE
Great
Cry
,
The
QUAKERS
will
soon
FALL
.
A
Great
Cry
in
the
World
hath
been
by
many
people
of
all
sorts
;
As
for
the
Quakers
,
they
will
soon
fall
,
and
come
to
nothing
;
they
will
stand
but
for
a
while
,
as
other
Sects
have
done
before
them
;
For
many
Sects
that
have
●●de
a
great
stir
for
a
time
,
they
have
come
to
nought
,
and
so
will
these
;
they
will
fall
and
●●●e
to
nought
in
a
Year
or
two
,
or
the
like
;
and
they
will
forsake
this
Way
:
And
this
,
Noise
and
Stir
about
them
will
come
to
an
end
,
and
they
will
have
a
Fall
.
And
thus
,
and
after
this
manner
do
the
People
of
the
World
Cry
,
and
say
one
to
another
.
To
this
I
answer
,
O
ye
Fools
and
Blind
,
that
thus
do
judge
and
say
!
ye
are
ignorant
and
sottish
Children
,
and
know
not
the
Way
of
the
Lord
nor
his
Judgments
;
neither
do
ye
know
his
Secrets
,
nor
have
entred
into
his
Counsel
;
who
told
you
thus
,
or
by
what
spirit
have
you
received
it
?
and
do
ye
not
speak
as
ye
would
have
it
?
and
because
you
would
have
it
so
,
do
ye
not
therefore
speak
it
?
Ye
Fools
and
Blind
,
whose
Hearts
are
hardened
,
I
tell
you
nay
,
your
words
shall
never
come
to
pass
;
but
you
,
and
all
our
Enemies
,
shall
be
found
Lyars
,
and
as
you
say
of
others
,
so
shall
it
come
to
pass
upon
your selves
;
and
that
which
you
desire
for
others
,
it
shall
fall
upon
your
own
heads
.
Again
,
I
tell
you
nay
,
we
shall
not
fall
,
nor
be
decreased
,
nor
come
to
●●●ght
;
but
the
Truth
shall
stand
forever
,
and
we
shall
be
encreased
through
the
World
,
and
shall
be
the
Renowned
People
of
the
whole
Earth
:
For
we
are
of
them
whom
the
Lord
is
gathering
from
off
the
barren
Mountains
,
and
out
of
the
Mouthes
of
all
dumb
Shepherds
,
whom
the
Lord
will
feed
and
keep
,
as
the
Sheep
of
his
own
Pasture
;
over
whom
the
Seed
of
David
,
Christ
,
the
Heir
of
Heaven
and
Earth
is
chief
Shepherd
;
and
he
is
set
over
us
,
and
he
rules
in
Equity
and
Righteousness
.
And
them
we
are
spoken
of
,
Ezekiel
34.
which
are
the
Sheep
of
God's
Pasture
;
and
the
Lord
hath
sought
us
out
even
as
a
Shepherd
his
Sheep
;
and
we
shall
not
fall
,
as
ye
suppose
.
And
we
are
them
spoken
of
in
the
Revelations
,
whom
the
Lord
is
bringing
through
great
Tribulations
,
and
making
us
white
in
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
redeeming
us
through
his
Sufferings
.
And
we
are
of
that
Numberless
Number
spoken
of
,
which
shall
stand
with
the
Lamb
upon
Mount
Sion
;
for
we
are
of
the
Seed
which
is
coming
up
out
of
Egypt
,
and
shall
replenish
the
whole
Earth
:
And
ye
Fools
and
Blind
will
be
deceived
,
and
the
Imaginations
of
your
hearts
will
come
to
nothing
:
and
it
s
you
that
will
fall
,
and
come
to
nothing
;
and
not
we
,
whom
the
Lord
is
bringing
up
out
of
the
Apostacy
,
which
you
all
are
in
,
and
all
Nations
are
in
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
.
And
we
are
not
any
of
all
those
Sects
and
false
Churches
,
that
have
been
on
foot
for
many
Ages
;
for
its
true
,
they
have
risen
and
fallen
,
come
up
and
gone
down
one
after
another
,
and
made
a
stir
and
a
noise
for
a
while
,
and
then
withered
,
and
come
to
nought
,
and
dyed
away
of
themselves
;
and
this
is
because
their
Foundation
has
not
been
Christ
,
the
Rock
of
Ages
;
nor
none
of
them
have
been
his
true
Church
,
his
Spouse
,
elected
to
him
;
for
if
they
had
,
they
could
not
have
been
prevailed
against
,
nor
fallen
,
as
they
have
done
;
nor
they
have
not
been
the
true
Church
,
which
is
the
Ground
and
Pillar
of
Truth
;
for
they
have
wither'd
and
come
to
nothing
,
and
risen
and
fallen
one
after
another
in
a
few
years
time
;
and
they
could
not
stand
long
any
of
them
,
but
must
needs
wither
and
be
confounded
,
and
one
consume
another
,
and
be
eaten
up
one
of
another
;
for
they
have
risen
out
of
the
Pit
that
hath
had
no
bottom
,
and
into
that
have
they
and
must
they
all
sink
down
again
;
and
they
have
caused
the
world
to
wonder
after
them
for
a
little
season
,
but
being
not
upon
the
Foundation
,
they
could
not
remain
;
for
they
have
all
come
out
of
the
Pit
,
&
go
into
Perdition
,
&
have
risen
one
out
of
another
,
and
been
destroyed
one
of
another
:
and
though
some
of
them
have
made
war
one
with
another
,
and
some
of
them
hated
the
Whore
,
yet
have
they
given
their
power
to
the
Beast
,
and
the
Beast
rose
out
of
the
Pit
,
which
had
no
bottom
,
without
Foundation
;
and
the
Beast
,
and
all
these
Sects
,
that
have
given
their
power
to
him
,
go
into
Perdition
with
him
,
and
it
s
not
possible
that
they
should
remain
long
,
but
fall
,
and
come
to
nothing
,
because
Christ
hath
not
been
their
Foundation
:
but
as
I
have
said
,
We
are
not
any
of
all
these
,
that
give
their
power
to
the
Beast
,
but
are
of
them
that
stand
with
the
Lamb
upon
Moun
Sion
,
that
are
redeemed
unto
God
out
of
every
Sect
,
and
out
of
Kindreds
and
Multitudes
;
and
we
are
of
them
that
have
overcome
the
Beast
,
and
his
Image
,
and
the
number
of
his
name
,
who
are
them
that
follow
the
Lamb
whither
soever
he
goes
;
who
cannot
be
overcome
nor
fall
,
because
greater
is
he
that
is
in
us
,
then
he
that
is
in
the
World
;
and
he
overcomes
the
world
,
and
he
is
our
Rock
and
Foundation
,
and
we
cannot
be
moved
;
but
he
keeps
us
,
&
we
may
not
fall
,
nor
come
to
nought
,
as
our
Enemies
do
falsly
suppose
and
speak
,
as
they
would
have
it
;
but
let
them
be
at
rest
,
for
we
shall
grow
,
and
spring
,
and
be
encreased
into
a
numberless
Number
,
which
shall
stand
upon
the
Sea
of
Glass
,
with
the
Harps
of
God
in
our
hands
,
singing
Praises
and
Glory
to
the
Lord
God
for
evermore
.
What
though
the
Woman
has
been
fled
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
we
,
her
Seed
,
made
war
against
,
and
slain
?
and
what
though
we
be
accounted
as
Sheep
for
the
slaughter
,
and
killed
all
the
day
long
?
And
what
though
some
that
are
convinced
,
and
come
to
the
Faith
of
Christ
in
measure
?
what
though
some
such
do
turn
from
the
Truth
,
into
the
evil
world
again
,
and
deny
the
Lord
and
his
People
,
and
their
latte●-end
be
worse
then
their
beginning
,
&
the
unclean
spirit
possess
them
seven
fold
more
then
at
the
first
?
and
,
what
though
the
evil
eye
doth
see
this
,
&
the
Wicked
do
herein
rejoyce
,
and
take
occasion
from
such
things
to
say
,
They
will
fall
,
they
will
fall
,
and
people
turn
from
them
again
?
O
ye
Fools
and
Blind
!
notwithstanding
all
this
,
Truth
shall
prosper
,
and
such
as
are
faithful
shall
never
be
ashamed
,
nor
never
fall
;
but
the
Lord
will
overcome
,
and
the
Woman
shall
return
,
and
shall
receive
her
Seed
to
life
again
,
which
shall
be
as
the
Stars
for
multitude
;
and
your
desires
and
conceivings
shall
be
confounded
.
And
what
though
you
say
,
They
cannot
stand
long
,
for
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
and
all
the
Rulers
are
against
them
,
and
Parliaments
they
will
make
Laws
to
suppress
them
:
Nay
,
ye
Fools
and
Blind
,
all
this
will
not
prevail
;
for
the
Lord
has
broken
,
and
will
break
all
that
shall
oppose
his
Kingdom
,
which
he
is
setting
up
amongst
us
,
of
whose
Government
and
Dominion
there
shall
be
no
end
,
nor
no
falling
,
but
it
shall
be
encreased
forever
and
ever
,
and
Powers
nor
Dominions
of
the
Earth
shall
not
prevail
;
but
all
that
which
they
do
against
us
,
turneth
to
our
Increase
,
and
their
own
Overthrow
and
Confusion
,
while
they
think
to
suppress
us
;
and
all
what
they
can
do
,
and
what
you
may
suppose
,
it
is
all
nothing
,
and
will
come
to
nothing
;
for
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
:
his
Seed
shall
grow
,
and
his
People
shall
replenish
the
Nations
;
and
in
time
it
will
be
manifest
whose
we
are
,
and
how
we
shall
be
increased
;
and
in
the
mean
time
,
we
bear
all
things
in
Patience
,
knowing
assuredly
,
that
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
and
that
none
upon
the
Earth
may
prevail
against
us
;
and
this
shall
all
our
Enemies
know
in
the
Lord's
Season
.

A
DISCOVERY
Of
some
part
of
the
War
between
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lamb
,
And
the
KINGDOM
of
ANTI-CHRIST
:
Held
forth
in
this
Account
of
several
Disputes
and
Queries
,
between
a
Minister
of
Christ
(
really
so
)
and
one
that
hath
the
Name
of
a
Minister
,
but
is
proved
to
be
a
Minister
and
Member
of
Antichrist
by
evident
Testimonies
.
And
is
a
short
Account
of
the
Covetousness
,
Ignorance
,
Envy
,
and
the
Fruits
of
Darkness
brought
forth
by
C.
Fowler
,
a
professed
Minister
in
Reading
.
And
here
all
may
see
(
in
some
measure
)
the
difference
between
Christ
and
Antichrist
,
and
their
Authority
and
Weapons
;
and
also
the
Fruits
and
Effects
of
each
of
them
are
made
manifest
.
To
the
Reader
,
Friend
,
THE
chief
occasion
of
this
being
sent
abroad
to
publique
view
,
is
to
the
people
of
Reading
most
particularly
,
but
yet
more
general
unto
all
,
and
though
that
it
be
chiefly
unto
a
particular
Place
,
and
against
a
particular
Person
,
to
wit
,
Ch.
Fowler
,
one
that
hath
the
Name
of
a
Minister
of
Christ
in
Reading
,
whose
Folly
,
and
Weakness
and
Ignorance
is
herein
discovered
;
yet
it
hath
partly
relation
to
the
whole
Ministry
of
the
Nation
;
and
all
men
that
do
not
shut
their
eyes
may
see
and
behold
something
of
that
great
Opposition
,
that
is
at
this
day
between
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
and
the
kingdom
of
Antichrist
:
and
I
have
no
other
end
in
publishing
of
this
,
but
for
the
satisfaction
of
them
that
desire
it
,
and
for
the
general
good
of
all
;
and
if
Christopher
Fowler
shall
see
himself
justly
reproved
,
and
repe●t
,
it
may
prove
of
good
to
him
also
;
and
I
am
not
a
man
of
Strife
,
for
if
he
and
his
Brethren
had
not
first
challenged
us
to
Disputes
,
I
had
not
had
this
Occasion
th●●
to
proceed
now
;
and
in
what
I
have
done
,
I
refer
it
to
the
Iust
Witness
of
God
in
the
honest
People
in
Reading
,
and
to
all
elsewhere
.
FOrasmuch
as
great
hath
been
the
Debate
for
these
divers
years
of
late
,
between
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
,
and
Antichrist
and
his
Followers
;
and
the
one
of
them
hath
been
opposing
the
other
in
their
own
Power
and
Authority
;
and
great
is
the
Debate
at
this
day
between
these
two
Kingdoms
,
which
is
endeavouring
the
Overthrow
one
of
the
other
;
and
all
the
strength
and
power
of
Antichrist
is
put
forth
in
Defence
of
his
kingdom
,
by
Persecution
,
Injustice
,
False-Imprisonments
,
Beatings
,
and
Whippings
,
and
Spoiling
of
Goods
and
Persons
,
and
Railings
,
Accusings
,
Slanderings
,
Reproachings
;
by
these
wayes
and
proceedings
doth
Antichrist
strive
at
this
day
,
for
the
upholding
and
maintaining
his
own
cause
and
kingdom
;
and
by
this
means
and
these
Weapons
mentioned
,
doth
he
seek
to
defend
himself
,
his
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Ordinances
;
these
are
his
Weapons
and
Armour
,
by
which
he
opposeth
and
fighteth
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
raised
up
for
this
end
;
and
they
have
within
these
few
years
,
more
then
ever
for
many
Generations
,
made
an
Invation
and
Inroad
upon
Antichrist
,
his
kingdom
and
government
,
and
the
great
City
Babylon
;
and
the
Seige
is
raised
,
that
hath
long
been
laid
against
the
Holy
Seed
;
and
the
great
City
Babylon
is
taken
,
her
Walls
are
scaled
,
and
her
Gates
broken
,
and
her
Strength
defeated
,
and
her
Merchants
spoiled
of
their
goodly
Treasure
;
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
and
the
holy
Seed
is
he
leading
out
of
the
spiritual
Sodom
and
Egypt
;
and
Mystery
Babylon
the
Great
hath
God
remembred
for
her
Iniquities
,
and
her
Cruelties
and
Mercilesness
,
and
all
her
Abominations
will
God
avenge
upon
her
head
;
and
this
doth
come
to
pass
,
and
not
by
the
multitude
of
an
Host
of
men
,
nor
yet
by
humane
Policy
and
Wisdom
,
nor
yet
by
carnal
Weapons
,
nor
by
Goals
,
nor
Prifons
,
nor
Persecutions
,
these
are
not
the
Lamb's
Weapons
,
but
these
are
Antichrist's
and
the
Dragon's
Armour
and
Weapons
,
which
he
makes
War
by
,
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Followers
,
even
at
this
day
in
every
Nation
:
But
the
Lamb's
Weapons
are
Truth
,
Patience
,
Long-suffering
,
Meekness
and
down-right
Sincerity
of
Heart
and
Tongue
;
and
by
these
things
shall
Antichrist
be
slain
,
and
these
Weapons
shall
Conquer
his
kingdom
;
Love
shall
overcome
Hatred
,
Meekness
shall
overcome
Wrath
,
Truth
shall
overcome
Deceit
and
Falshood
,
and
God
shall
overcome
the
Devil
.
But
more
particularly
,
Great
hath
been
the
Opposition
and
Debate
made
one
against
the
other
;
and
the
Battel
between
Christ
and
Antichrist
hath
principally
been
held
forth
between
the
Ministers
of
the
Church
of
England
on
Antichrist's
part
,
and
the
People
called
Quakers
on
the
other
part
;
no
man
in
the
Nation
can
be
so
Ignorant
how
the
Controversie
hath
depended
betwixt
these
two
,
and
what
Weapons
they
have
used
the
one
against
the
other
;
and
also
,
it
is
in
part
known
the
Success
of
them
both
;
and
how
the
one
of
them
(
to
wit
)
the
Ministers
(
so
called
)
have
had
on
their
part
the
strength
of
Men
,
the
Magistrates
Power
,
the
Rude
Multitude
,
and
Humane
Craft
,
and
the
Serpent's
Policy
,
not
any
of
these
things
have
been
wanting
to
them
;
but
yet
,
a
little
Seed
hath
sprung
up
in
the
Nation
on
the
other
part
,
unexpected
by
many
,
which
hath
had
Sincerity
and
Truth
in
it
,
and
the
Lord
hath
been
with
it
,
and
he
hath
blessed
it
,
though
but
little
and
very
small
in
its
beginning
,
yet
it
is
prospered
into
a
Kingdom
;
for
God's
Might
and
his
Authority
dwelleth
in
it
,
before
whom
all
Nations
of
the
Earth
must
Fear
and
Tremble
.
But
yet
more
particularly
,
my
present
Occasion
of
demonstrating
these
things
are
as
followeth
;
and
the
Engagement
that
lies
upon
me
hereunto
,
is
not
out
of
any
Personal
Enmity
,
that
I
have
against
any
;
but
my
Intent
is
,
For
the
Discovery
of
the
Truth
,
that
men
may
imbrace
it
;
and
for
the
laying
open
the
Deceits
of
Antichrist
,
and
his
Kingdom
,
that
men
may
come
out
of
Babylon
,
and
may
not
partake
of
her
Sins
,
nor
of
her
Plagues
:
and
this
matter
now
in
hand
chiefly
concerns
the
people
of
the
Town
of
Reading
for
their
Satisfaction
,
concerning
the
Wayes
,
Practices
,
Doctrines
,
and
Proceedings
of
Christopher
Fowler
,
one
of
their
Ministers
,
with
whom
I
have
been
joyned
in
opposion
two
several
times
in
dispute
with
him
,
and
the
third
time
was
appointed
for
our
meeting
upon
Discourse
,
as
hereafter
is
related
;
but
he
not
appearing
at
the
time
and
place
according
to
appointment
;
and
he
notwithstanding
yet
continues
in
opposition
to
,
and
Reproaching
of
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
,
which
I
profess
and
contend
for
;
therefore
upon
this
account
do
I
thus
e●gage
with
him
,
and
not
for
Centention
sake
,
but
for
the
open
vindication
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
sound
Faith
and
Doctrine
,
held
forth
by
us
,
and
opposed
and
gain
▪
said
by
him
.
The
first
opposition
that
fell
out
between
him
and
me
,
was
at
a
meeting
challenged
by
himself
,
in
that
Town
about
the
ninth
Month
,
in
the
year
1657
▪
and
I
shall
at
present
forbear
his
detestable
and
Abominable
Practices
and
Sp●●ches
against
me
and
the
Truth
,
at
that
Meeting
;
for
indeed
the
remembrance
of
it
is
much
passed
from
me
,
but
many
in
that
Town
may
well
remember
to
〈◊〉
day
,
how
he
hooted
and
clapped
his
hands
in
the
Palpit
,
as
if
he
had
been
H●nting
on
a
Mountain
;
and
also
his
ungodly
speeches
,
and
revilings
towards
me
,
as
calling
me
Dog
,
and
Villain
,
and
such
like
names
;
and
when
some
of
his
own
people
reproved
him
for
such
words
,
he
said
;
The
worst
words
he
had
in
his
Mouth
was
to
good
for
me
;
and
indeed
such
was
his
carriages
,
and
words
towards
me
,
at
that
time
,
far
off
civility
,
and
not
like
a
sober
Heathen
,
much
less
like
a
Christian
or
Minister
of
Christ
;
and
here
follows
what
was
written
to
him
,
and
to
the
Major
,
and
whole
Town
,
and
sent
the
next
Morning
after
the
dispute
,
which
is
some
account
of
that
dayes
proceeding
;
and
finding
a
Copy
of
it
by
me
,
I
thought
meet
here
to
infert
it
.
Friends
,
Rulers
,
Priests
,
and
People
of
Reading
.
A
Few
words
to
clear
my
Conscience
to
you
all
in
the
sight
of
God
,
I
send
among
you
,
occasioned
by
this
dayes
Meeting
;
ye
people
be
ashamed
of
your
Priests
;
and
ye
Priests
be
ye
ashamed
of
your
People
;
and
all
of
you
together
,
cover
your
Lips
,
and
hide
your
Faces
,
and
be
ashamed
of
your
Profession
in
Religion
,
or
to
make
mention
of
the
Name
of
the
Lord
in
that
nature
in
which
you
stand
;
whose
Lightness
,
and
Foolishness
,
and
Rudeness
,
and
Wickedness
exceeds
some
others
;
yea
,
many
with
whom
I
have
●ad
to
do
in
Disputes
,
you
excel
in
unreasonableness
in
words
and
Behaviour
,
manifesting
your selves
some
of
you
not
to
be
Civil
Men
,
much
less
Christians
;
and
this
very
day
much
of
your
Vanity
,
Bruitishness
,
and
Un●●vility
appeared
to
your
shame
,
in
the
Sight
of
all
Just
and
Sober
Men
,
and
to
your
condemnation
in
the
Sight
of
God
;
who
takes
notice
of
your
wickedness
,
and
unseemly
behaviour
,
which
you
may
call
to
mind
and
remember
,
that
you
may
repent
of
your
ungodly
words
,
and
cruel
speeches
,
and
rude
bruitish
gestures
,
which
appeared
in
you
without
any
Fear
of
God
,
to
your
shame
be
it
spoken
;
and
like
Priests
,
like
People
,
all
out
of
the
way
,
in
folly
and
vanity
,
erring
through
Lightness
,
and
Wantonness
,
not
knowing
the
Scriptures
,
nor
the
Power
of
God
,
but
perverters
of
the
one
,
and
despifers
of
the
other
;
the
sin
of
the
Priest
will
be
charged
upon
the
People
,
because
you
love
to
have
those
things
so
,
and
uphold
him
in
his
wickedness
;
and
the
sin
of
the
people
will
be
charged
upon
the
Priests
,
who
through
Lyes
and
Lightness
cause
you
to
err
,
and
profits
them
not
at
all
;
but
is
a
blind
Leader
of
ye
blind
People
,
till
both
fall
into
the
Ditch
together
,
who
close
your
Eyes
that
you
may
not
see
,
and
shut
your
Ears
lest
you
should
Hear
,
and
harden
your
Hearts
that
you
may
not
understand
;
and
your
Destruction
is
of
your selves
,
and
your
Blood
is
upon
your
own
Heads
,
who
scorns
to
be
reproved
,
and
despiseth
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
and
will
not
receive
his
Truth
in
the
Love
of
it
,
that
you
may
be
saved
;
but
is
a
blind
,
willful
,
and
stiff-necked
people
;
some
of
you
who
have
hearts
,
and
cannot
understand
:
Is
these
the
fruits
of
your
long
Profession
,
Railing
,
Mocking
,
Scorning
,
Laughing
,
Hooting
;
Foolish
and
Vain
Words
,
Nick-naming
,
and
Reproaching
?
these
things
abounds
openly
among
you
to
your
shame
,
especially
at
such
a
time
,
when
Meekness
,
and
Soberness
,
and
Moderation
,
had
much
better
become
you
,
to
have
been
brought
forth
by
you
;
your
Priests
,
exceeding
the
rest
in
vileness
,
and
some
of
your
Rulers
hardly
being
clear
:
remember
your
work
,
and
call
to
mind
your
words
,
and
ways
,
and
let
shame
cover
your
heads
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
of
you
;
and
thou
proud
wild
reproachful
professe●
Minister
,
cease
thy
vain
presumptious
boastings
against
the
Innocent
;
and
now
when
thou
puts
off
thy
armor
,
if
thou
hast
gotten
a
victory
,
glory
;
or
rather
hide
thy
face
for
shame
,
and
stop
thy
mouth
in
the
dust
,
whose
Lightness
,
and
Wildness
,
hath
super-abounded
some
of
thy
fellows
,
who
may
be
ashamed
of
thee
in
thy
words
and
behaviour
,
whereby
thou
art
sufficiently
proved
to
be
one
that
was
never
sent
of
God
,
if
we
had
no
other
testimony
:
Thy
proud
presumptions
boast
against
the
Quakers
,
was
with
soberness
and
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
answered
,
to
thy
shame
in
the
sight
of
all
such
,
whose
hearts
are
not
altogether
hardned
,
and
given
up
to
believe
Lies
,
and
to
do
Wickedness
,
that
they
may
be
damned
that
believe
not
the
Truth
:
and
first
,
as
to
the
manner
of
the
dispute
on
his
part
,
were
his
Railing
Envious
Reproachful
unsavory
filthy
words
,
of
God
,
or
of
the
Devil
?
with
much
impudency
many
times
uttered
in
the
discourse
;
as
Villain
,
Sirrah
,
Wretch
,
Blasphemer
,
Rogue
,
and
such
like
lying
words
of
Bitterness
,
more
like
the
words
of
a
brawling
Drunkard
,
then
for
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
and
were
his
booting
,
laughsing
,
and
clapping
his
hands
,
and
rude
and
unseemly
gestures
,
and
behaviour
,
of
God
,
or
of
the
Devil
?
more
like
in
appearance
to
a
Stage-player
,
then
to
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
to
his
shame
I
mention
it
;
consider
and
answer
these
things
,
and
let
that
of
God
in
your
Consciences
judge
,
to
which
I
stand
to
be
approved
in
meekness
,
and
he
to
be
reproved
and
condemned
in
his
filthiness
and
bruitishness
,
in
the
Sight
of
God
;
may
not
you
who
owned
him
in
that
discourse
,
be
ashamed
of
him
in
these
his
words
and
actions
,
which
appeared
?
who
boastingly
gave
a
Challenge
to
dispute
of
the
things
of
God
,
and
then
to
mannage
it
in
Rudeness
and
Wildness
,
without
any
Fear
of
God
,
in
Lying
and
Slandring
;
and
at
the
end
,
when
things
came
to
the
head
for
Tryal
,
to
run
away
,
and
not
to
stand
to
the
end
,
though
several
times
he
was
charged
to
it
;
I
appeal
for
Answer
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
all
your
Consciences
;
not
like
a
Minister
of
Christ
in
any
measure
he
appeared
,
but
as
one
that
knows
not
the
Living
God
,
nor
his
Law
,
and
Fear
,
nor
Judgements
;
and
an
unfit
fellow
upon
tryal
I
found
him
,
to
dispute
the
Precious
things
of
God
,
and
through
some
Nations
I
have
hardly
met
with
a
worse
,
which
caused
me
to
be
the
more
silent
then
otherwise
I
would
,
for
I
chosed
rather
to
be
accounted
a
fool
by
silence
,
then
to
offend
the
Just
Law
of
God
,
by
giving
holy
things
to
Dogs
,
or
casting
Pearls
before
Swine
,
in
which
nature
he
and
some
of
you
appeared
,
who
fasly
Slandered
the
Innocent
with
the
name
of
Jesuite
,
and
such
like
,
crying
away
with
him
;
with
Bitter
and
Cruel
words
and
gestures
,
pushing
with
your
hands
,
and
crying
a
Prison
were
the
fittest
,
or
such
like
;
even
like
unto
your
fore-Fathers
the
Pharisees
,
who
persecuted
Christ
under
the
account
of
themselves
being
righteous
,
and
he
a
blasphemer
,
and
they
laid
snares
for
him
to
entrap
him
in
his
works
,
as
you
did
;
who
when
I
would
not
answer
according
to
your
provoking
,
that
you
might
ensnare
me
,
would
hardly
suffer
me
to
answer
any
thing
,
to
clear
and
defend
to
the
Truth
,
against
the
boast
of
the
Wicked
;
but
by
Hooting
,
and
Laughing
,
and
Clapping
of
Hands
,
and
Foolish
Jeastings
,
and
unreasonable
Rudeness
,
prevented
me
from
speaking
,
and
them
that
would
have
heard
from
hearing
,
as
much
as
you
could
,
even
as
bruit
Beasts
or
Heathens
,
and
not
like
civil
people
,
much
less
like
godly
Christians
;
nor
like
such
as
would
,
or
could
soberly
debate
the
Truth
of
God
to
edification
,
and
truly
may
I
say
I
fought
with
Beasts
at
Reading
,
after
the
manner
of
men
;
but
all
was
to
make
your selves
,
and
your
pretended
Minister
manifest
,
and
all
could
not
be
so
blind
,
but
might
understand
his
wayes
and
words
,
not
to
be
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
by
the
spirit
of
the
Devil
;
who
is
the
Father
of
such
Works
and
Con●…
,
as
was
brought
forth
by
him
in
the
Meeting
,
in
many
uncivil
actions
,
and
reproachful
words
of
envy
.
And
also
as
to
the
matter
of
dispute
on
his
p●●t
managed
,
was
but
a
vain
contention
,
boastingly
uttered
without
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
in
a
proud
presumptious
spirit
,
and
a
Snare
laid
in
the
mid'st
of
his
Questions
,
and
Arguments
to
entrap
the
Just
,
but
in
vain
was
the
Snare
〈◊〉
in
the
sight
of
the
Bird
,
and
I
chose
rather
to
appear
a
Fool
to
your
wisdom
,
then
to
be
made
a
prey
upon
by
you
,
and
caught
in
your
deep-laid
Snare
;
for
we
are
learned
to
be
as
wise
as
Serpents
;
and
deeply
did
he
and
s●●e
of
you
fall
into
the
Snare
of
Confusion
,
and
Wickedness
,
and
False
Doctrines
,
as
would
have
been
laid
open
,
if
he
had
durst
to
have
staid
,
or
you
to
have
heard
.
The
Principal
Question
was
,
whether
the
Scriptures
are
the
Word
of
God
?
which
he
affirmed
,
but
could
not
prove
by
plain
Scripture
;
●●to
which
much
might
have
been
answered
,
and
said
,
if
patience
,
or
any
moderation
had
ruled
over
your
despiteful
spirits
;
but
because
I
could
not
(
to
satisfy
your
wills
,
and
to
fulfil
your
purpose
)
answer
,
yea
or
nay
,
and
thereby
make
my self
a
Transgressor
;
Therefore
,
hardly
would
you
suffer
me
to
say
any
thing
,
in
any
manner
of
arguing
,
but
by
wickedness
endeavoured
to
stop
my
Mouth
;
My
answer
was
,
and
is
,
the
Scriptures
(
the
Writings
)
which
are
one
,
are
but
a
declaration
and
witness
of
the
Word
of
God
;
which
Word
was
in
the
beginning
,
and
endures
for
ever
;
as
Iohn
and
Peter
testifies
;
and
the
Scriptures
(
which
are
Writings
)
were
not
in
the
beginning
,
but
began
to
be
written
by
Moses
many
hundred
years
after
the
beginning
;
Therefore
,
the
Scriptures
,
which
were
not
in
the
beginning
,
are
not
the
Word
of
God
,
which
Word
was
in
the
beginning
;
further
the
Scripture
saith
,
the
Worlds
●●●e
made
and
framed
by
the
Word
of
God
;
but
the
Scriptures
made
not
the
Worlds
;
therefore
the
Scriptures
are
not
the
Word
of
God
,
which
as
the
Scrip●●●e
it self
saith
,
made
the
Worlds
;
many
such
like
witnesses
might
be
alledged
from
the
Scriptures
,
to
prove
the
Scriptures
are
not
the
Word
God
,
〈◊〉
a
Declaration
(
of
the
Word
of
God
)
and
cannot
endure
for
ever
;
then
〈◊〉
said
he
would
prove
the
Scriptures
should
endure
for
ever
,
but
could
not
bring
any
plain
Scriptures
,
as
I
demanded
of
him
to
prove
the
assertion
;
but
went
about
in
Logick
to
prove
it
,
and
could
prove
no
more
,
then
that
the
truth
written
of
in
the
Scripture
should
endure
for
ever
;
which
thing
I
never
did
,
or
shall
deny
,
and
so
needed
not
to
be
contended
against
by
any
sober
men
;
but
unreasonable
men
,
who
have
not
Faith
,
will
say
any
thing
for
Advantage
to
themselves
,
and
Disadvantage
to
the
Truth
,
which
they
are
set
to
oppose
.
And
he
instanced
,
and
said
,
It
is
written
,
Christ
is
God
Blessed
forever
;
〈◊〉
then
shalt
love
the
Lord
thy
God
with
all
thy
Heart
;
and
said
,
this
should
endure
f●●●●er
:
To
which
I
answered
,
That
which
is
written
of
only
shall
endure
forever
;
but
the
Scriptures
and
Writings
should
not
endure
forever
.
And
further
instanced
,
God
was
written
,
and
was
Scripture
,
and
should
not
endure
●●●ever
,
though
God
should
endure
forever
,
and
he
could
not
be
written
nor
●●●●ained
in
a
Book
:
and
through
your
Vanity
in
Scorning
,
and
Hooting
,
〈◊〉
Unreasonableness
,
according
to
your
own
purpose
,
lest
your
Deceiver
●●●●ld
be
made
manifest
,
you
prevented
me
,
and
would
not
suffer
me
to
speak
,
in
what
much
more
I
had
to
say
in
this
particular
:
and
I
observed
that
in
all
the
Questions
and
Arguments
against
me
were
hatched
secretly
a
Snare
to
〈◊〉
me
into
Suffering
;
and
to
this
purpose
some
of
you
said
wickedly
;
I
●●●ld
presently
dispute
my self
into
Prison
:
and
further
he
instanced
,
Thou
〈◊〉
●…r
thy
Father
and
thy
Mother
,
it
is
so
written
;
and
said
he
,
This
is
a
Command
of
God
,
and
the
Word
of
God
,
and
shall
endure
for
ever
,
with
presumptuous
boasts
,
and
scornfull
invented
terms
,
not
beseeming
any
〈◊〉
,
much
less
a
Minister
;
and
that
he
could
prove
this
to
be
the
Word
of
God
against
all
the
Quakers
in
the
World
,
and
against
all
the
Fiends
in
Hell
,
and
against
all
the
Jesuits
at
Rome
,
or
filthly
words
to
this
purpose
,
and
much
I
desired
moderation
from
you
,
with
diligence
to
hear
my
defence
;
and
thereupon
many
times
desired
the
Mayor
,
who
was
present
to
command
silence
,
but
I
could
hardly
obtain
any
from
you
,
you
were
so
generally
rude
,
and
rash
,
and
unreasonable
;
and
to
him
I
replyed
,
that
to
honour
Father
and
Mother
in
the
Lord
,
was
a
Command
of
God
,
and
the
Word
of
God
,
and
should
endure
for
ever
;
but
Luke's
Writings
(
the
Scripture
)
were
but
a
Declaration
of
this
Command
,
and
not
the
Command
it self
,
nor
the
Word
of
God
,
and
would
perish
,
and
not
endure
for
ever
;
and
bid
you
read
Luke
1.
1.
There
Luke
calls
his
Writings
,
which
are
Scripture
,
a
Declaration
,
and
much
more
might
I
have
spoken
to
this
thing
,
if
I
had
been
yoaked
against
a
reasonable
man
,
or
if
the
Auditors
had
been
but
civil
;
but
you
could
not
endure
to
hear
,
but
said
,
I
subtilly
insinuated
into
their
People
;
and
thereupon
several
times
some
of
you
spake
to
the
Mayor
to
dismiss
the
people
,
I
think
,
lest
your
Hirelings
should
be
discovered
,
and
your
Wickedness
reproved
;
and
thus
the
thing
came
near
an
end
,
he
not
being
able
to
prove
by
any
Scripture
,
or
right
Argument
,
the
Scripture
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
which
shall
endure
for
ever
,
but
must
if
his
,
and
your
eye
ever
be
opened
,
confess
to
what
I
held
forth
,
that
onely
that
which
is
written
of
in
the
Scripture
,
or
which
the
Scriptures
declare
of
shall
endure
for
ever
,
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
and
not
the
Scripture
or
Writings
;
then
presumtuously
he
said
,
prove
him
if
I
could
,
to
be
a
false
Prophet
;
to
which
I
answered
,
(
and
desired
much
your
moderation
,
but
could
not
obtain
it
,
as
though
you
had
set
your selves
to
be
rude
and
vain
)
to
prove
a
false
Prophet
was
either
by
Conversation
,
or
Doctrine
,
or
both
,
and
by
his
Fruits
he
was
known
;
to
preach
for
Hire
,
and
to
divine
for
Money
is
fruits
and
signs
of
a
false
Prophet
,
as
the
Scripture
testified
;
which
should
be
my
rule
to
try
him
by
,
if
he
durst
stand
to
it
,
and
they
that
preached
for
hire
were
false
Prophets
;
and
he
preached
for
hire
,
and
therefore
was
a
false
Prophet
according
to
the
Scripture
rule
;
then
he
said
,
he
preached
not
for
hire
,
yet
he
had
hire
for
preaching
;
a
poor
shift
to
cover
the
Devils
Deceits
,
but
it
will
not
hide
his
Shame
;
and
it
was
proved
that
he
preached
for
hire
to
all
,
but
such
who
stopped
their
Ears
;
and
it
was
manifest
in
his
face
,
that
he
sued
some
at
the
Law
which
would
not
pay
him
Tythes
:
And
then
I
asked
him
to
give
any
Examples
from
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
where
ever
they
took
Tythes
,
or
sued
Men
at
the
Law
who
would
not
pay
them
Wages
;
but
to
this
he
gave
no
answer
at
all
,
and
thereby
he
was
proved
to
be
a
false
Prophet
,
and
a
Deceiver
;
and
much
more
might
have
been
said
,
as
to
this
,
to
prove
him
and
his
Generation
to
be
false
Prophets
,
as
may
be
done
at
any
time
;
but
such
was
the
unreasonableness
at
this
passage
,
that
you
were
nigh
to
lay
violent
hands
upon
me
,
some
of
you
;
and
lest
your
Deceiver
should
be
made
manifest
,
you
would
not
suffer
me
to
speak
what
I
had
to
say
,
but
cried
,
Away
with
me
:
And
tell
me
any
of
you
,
when
he
preached
any
year
or
time
,
at
this
Town
,
when
he
had
no
hire
?
and
therefore
he
is
a
Hireling
,
because
he
preacheth
not
without
it
,
but
for
it
,
and
so
is
a
false
Prophet
;
and
he
being
,
I
judge
,
sorely
afraid
lest
he
should
be
discovered
,
went
out
of
his
Pulpit
door
two
or
three
times
,
till
I
called
him
back
again
,
and
charged
him
to
stay
if
he
was
a
man
,
and
I
would
prove
him
to
be
a
preacher
of
false
Doctrine
,
who
in
my
hearing
said
,
The
Scripture
was
the
Foundation
of
Foundations
;
but
when
he
heard
this
he
ran
away
,
and
fled
like
a
Hireling
,
and
would
not
stay
;
and
I
was
,
and
am
ready
in
the
Presence
of
God
,
and
any
sober
men
,
to
prove
this
to
be
false
Doctrine
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
and
him
to
be
no
Minister
of
Christ
,
who
holds
it
forth
.
And
all
you
sober
minded
men
may
be
ashamed
of
him
,
who
managed
his
work
with
so
much
wickedness
and
impudency
while
he
staid
;
and
when
it
came
to
the
very
trial
then
he
run
away
,
and
would
not
stand
,
though
I
desired
him
;
hereby
did
his
guilt
appear
is
flying
the
tryal
;
and
this
is
the
substance
of
the
Business
,
though
not
every
particular
word
;
and
I
have
gathered
it
up
to
send
you
and
him
,
that
when
you
see
it
,
and
consider
and
read
what
you
have
done
,
you
may
be
ashamed
of
him
,
and
of
your
own
unreasonableness
:
And
further
,
He
is
already
proved
,
and
may
be
more
largely
hereafter
,
to
be
one
that
God
never
sent
,
both
by
Conversation
and
Doctrine
,
and
no
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
;
and
not
only
in
the
House
,
but
when
we
were
come
forth
,
such
was
your
Violence
to
the
stopping
of
us
,
when
we
were
pasting
,
and
had
not
the
Mayor
prevented
it
,
our
Suffering
from
some
of
you
had
been
more
then
it
was
:
let
the
Fear
of
God
strike
you
,
and
let
his
Light
search
Wicked
and
Ungodly
Hearts
,
and
repent
of
your
doings
,
and
cease
to
do
Evil
,
and
turn
from
your
Deceiver
,
if
you
love
your
own
Souls
;
and
learn
the
Way
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
which
you
have
not
yet
known
;
for
in
the
broad
way
you
are
,
and
the
end
of
it
will
be
unto
your
everlasting
Destruction
.
And
to
you
this
is
a
Warning
,
and
a
Visitation
from
the
Lord
,
by
a
Lover
of
your
Souls
,
who
is
true
,
though
by
you
called
and
counted
a
Deceiver
;
and
this
in
Love
to
your
Souls
is
sent
unto
you
.

Here
also
followeth
certain
Queries
to
Christopher
Fowler
the
same
time
,
to
which
he
never
yet
could
give
any
Sober
Answer
,
therefore
I
here
insert
them
,
that
he
may
yet
give
his
Answer
.
Christopher
Fowler
,
SEeing
thou
art
a
man
so
irrational
,
and
so
unsober
to
speak
,
and
fairly
to
debate
things
in
Discourse
,
and
thy
Auditory
so
rude
and
inhumane
in
Behaviour
,
and
words
;
therefore
to
thee
these
few
Queries
I
propound
,
to
try
thee
,
whether
thou
wilt
shew
the
spirit
of
a
Man
by
writing
,
more
then
by
speaking
;
seeing
therein
I
have
tryed
thee
,
to
be
more
like
a
Wild
Inhumaine
Creature
,
than
a
Sober
and
Upright
Christian.
Seeing
the
Scripture
saith
,
the
Word
of
God
was
in
the
Beginning
,
and
the
World
was
framed
by
it
,
and
it
shall
endure
forever
,
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
I.
Whether
the
Scriptures
be
the
very
Word
of
God
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
Seeing
the
Scriptures
were
not
in
the
Beginning
,
neither
was
the
World
framed
by
them
,
neither
can
they
endure
forever
,
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
II.
Whether
the
very
Word
of
God
be
Scripture
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
Seeing
it
is
confessed
,
that
which
is
written
of
,
and
declared
of
,
in
the
Scriptures
,
is
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
Truth
,
which
shall
endure
forever
,
hence
Iquery
of
thee
,
III.
Whether
the
Scriptures
(
the
Writings
)
and
the
Thing
or
Subject
declared
and
written
of
,
are
not
two
distinct
things
(
so
as
one
may
have
the
one
and
not
the
other
)
yea
,
〈◊〉
nay
?
Seeing
God
,
and
his
Word
,
Will
and
Mind
is
Eternal
,
Infinite
and
Endless
,
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
if
thou
hast
an
Understanding
answer
,
IV.
Whether
God
,
his
Word
,
Will
and
Mind
,
is
,
or
can
be
contained
or
holden
in
Scriptures
and
Writings
,
or
but
only
part
of
the
Declaration
of
him
,
of
his
Word
,
Will
and
Mind
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
Seeing
such
were
false
Prophets
,
which
preached
for
Hire
,
and
divined
for
Money
,
and
sought
for
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
V.
Whether
by
this
Rule
art
not
thou
proved
a
false
Prophet
,
who
preachest
for
Hire
,
and
takest
Hire
for
Preaching
,
and
hast
a
Quarter
(
reading
of
some
part
of
it
)
from
which
thou
seekest
Gain
?
answer
in
Plainness
.
Seeing
every
Tree
is
known
by
its
Fruit
,
as
Christ
saith
,
hence
I
query
,
VI.
Whether
by
this
rule
,
thou
that
bringst
forth
the
same
fruits
as
the
false
Prophets
did
viz.
Lies
,
Lightness
,
Pride
,
Covetousness
,
and
false
accusing
,
art
not
the
same
Tree
,
viz.
a
false
Prophet
?
Seeing
they
were
false
Prophets
,
who
ran
and
were
not
sent
,
and
did
not
profit
them
,
the
people
at
all
;
but
clothed
themselves
with
the
Wool
,
and
prepared
War
against
them
that
put
not
into
their
Mouths
,
&c.
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
VII
.
Whether
by
this
rule
thou
art
not
proved
a
False
Prophet
,
who
canst
not
prove
that
thou
art
sent
of
God
,
neither
are
the
people
profitted
by
thee
;
but
are
rude
,
and
wanton
,
and
wicked
;
and
thou
preparest
war
against
them
that
put
not
into
thy
mouth
,
by
suing
them
at
law
for
Tithes
,
&
c
?
Seeing
Scorning
,
Lying
,
Slandering
,
Envy
,
Hatred
,
Lightness
,
&c.
with
much
more
of
which
thou
art
guilty
,
are
the
fruits
of
the
flesh
,
and
of
the
Divel
;
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
VIII
.
Whether
by
this
rule
art
thou
not
proved
to
be
no
Minister
of
Christ
,
but
of
the
Devil
,
and
a
Servant
to
him
;
and
a
Liver
to
the
Flesh
,
and
not
in
the
Spirit
,
in
whom
these
Fruits
of
Darkness
,
and
of
the
Flesh
are
abounding
?
Seeing
the
Scripture
saith
,
the
Word
of
God
was
in
the
beginning
,
and
Christ
Jesus
is
the
Foundation
,
and
no
other
can
be
laid
;
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
IX
.
Whether
by
this
rule
thou
art
not
proved
a
Deceiver
,
and
thy
Doctrine
false
,
and
Error
,
and
contrary
to
Scripture
;
who
said
,
the
Scriptures
are
the
Word
of
God
,
(
which
were
not
in
the
Beginning
)
and
said
,
that
the
Scriptures
(
which
are
not
Christ
)
are
the
Foundation
of
Foundations
?
and
whether
this
Doctrine
of
thine
doth
not
deny
Christ
,
and
so
art
proved
to
be
Antichrist
?
answer
according
to
Truth
.
Seeing
thou
confessest
thou
hast
Hire
for
Preaching
,
yet
sayst
,
thou
preachest
not
for
Hire
;
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
X.
Whether
any
of
the
People
of
Reading
would
give
thee
so
much
a
Year
if
thou
didst
not
preach
to
them
?
and
if
no
then
whether
they
do
not
give
thee
so
much
,
and
thou
receive
it
,
because
thou
Preachest
unto
them
?
or
,
did
they
give
thee
so
much
before
thou
preachest
?
or
will
they
give
thee
any
when
thou
dost
cease
to
preach
to
them
?
try
them
when
thou
wilt
,
and
prove
thy self
a
true
Prophet
,
by
Preaching
some
years
and
receiving
nothing
;
and
till
then
I
charge
thee
to
be
a
false
Prophet
.
Seeing
the
Ministry
which
Christ
Jesus
sent
by
the
Apostles
,
did
bring
people
that
they
needed
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
as
the
anointing
within
them
;
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
XI
.
Whether
by
this
rule
thy
Ministry
is
proved
not
to
be
of
Christ
Iesus
,
nor
thou
sent
of
him
,
by
which
none
can
come
to
this
condition
,
that
they
need
no
man
to
teach
them
,
(
produce
any
one
if
thou
canst
)
and
so
a
Ministry
of
Anti-christ
,
and
thou
of
the
Divel
.
Seeing
they
that
abide
not
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
have
not
God
;
hence
I
query
of
thee
,
XII
.
Whether
by
this
rule
thou
art
not
proved
to
be
without
Christ
,
and
without
God
,
who
abides
not
in
Christ's
Doctrine
;
but
are
called
of
men
Master
,
and
stand
Praying
in
the
Synagogue
,
and
hast
the
chief
Seat
in
the
Assembly
,
and
contrary
to
Christ's
Command
?
Answer
these
Queries
with
the
Spirit
of
Soberness
,
if
thou
hast
it
;
and
shew
thy self
a
man
,
if
thou
hast
the
Heart
of
a
man
;
and
Repent
of
thy
Wickedness
,
and
own
thy
Condemnation
upon
thy
Former
Words
and
Works
.
I
am
a
Friend
unto
thy
Soul
,
but
a
witness
against
thy
Deceits
.
E.
B.
And
after
which
time
,
for
the
space
of
two
years
,
I
had
no
Communication
with
Christopher
Fowler
,
till
this
last
nineth
Moneth
,
at
a
place
called
East-H●●sted
,
where
a
Meeting
of
Dispute
was
appointed
,
and
challenged
by
some
of
his
Brethren
,
at
which
place
again
I
met
with
this
my
Adversary
,
where
we
had
some
hours
Discourse
,
and
many
particulars
of
False
Doctrine
fell
from
Fowler
's
mouth
,
some
few
of
which
hereafter
follow
.
First
,
one
of
his
brethren
in
his
prayer
before
the
dispute
,
prayed
to
God
to
forgive
them
the
Atheism
that
were
in
their
hearts
of
him
and
his
Brethrens
.
Answer
,
now
an
Atheist
is
one
that
denies
God
,
and
Atheism
is
denying
of
God
,
according
to
common
reputation
,
Atheism
is
so
taken
;
so
that
how
shall
such
a
Generation
of
men
bring
people
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
by
their
Ministry
?
or
how
should
they
ever
convert
people
,
to
profit
them
,
who
yet
in
their
own
Hearts
denyed
God
,
as
the
man
acknowledged
in
his
prayer
before
the
Lord
,
and
many
witnesses
?
the
Poor
People
of
England
had
thought
that
the
Spirit
of
God
had
been
in
your
Hearts
,
but
now
we
know
that
you
deny
God
in
your
Hearts
,
and
you
have
confessed
it
to
your
own
shame
:
are
you
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
yet
denies
God
in
your
hearts
;
and
in
whose
hearts
lodges
Atheism
?
Oh!
let
not
people
be
deceived
by
you
,
but
repent
,
ye
that
know
not
God
,
but
with
your
Mouthes
confess
him
,
and
with
your
hearts
do
deny
him
.
Christopher
Fowler
also
affirmed
,
that
day
,
That
the
Scriptures
are
the
Glorious
everlasing
Foundation
of
Foundations
.
Answ.
And
hereby
it
is
made
manifest
that
he
hath
totally
denyed
Christ
,
and
so
proved
with
his
brother
,
confest
in
his
prayer
,
that
indeed
Atheism
is
in
their
Hearts
;
and
so
he
hath
denyed
Christ
,
whom
the
Scriptures
say
is
the
Foundation
,
and
no
other
Foundation
can
any
man
lay
,
and
upon
him
were
the
Saints
builded
in
their
Faith
,
and
all
their
Practices
of
Religion
;
for
he
is
the
corner
Stone
,
as
it
is
Written
:
and
thus
he
hath
dishonoured
Christ
,
in
setting
the
Scriptures
above
him
,
and
taking
the
Honour
from
him
,
and
giving
it
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
I
shall
leave
this
his
Doctrine
to
be
considered
,
with
a
query
,
to
these
people
of
his
Church
in
Reading
,
whether
he
is
worth
hearing
,
or
giving
Money
to
for
preaching
,
that
holds
forth
such
Doctrine
?
and
whether
it
is
possible
he
should
bring
them
to
Christ
,
who
hath
in
effect
denied
him
to
be
the
Foundation
,
and
held
forth
,
that
the
Scriptures
are
the
glorious
everlasting
Foundation
of
Foundations
:
Much
I
need
not
say
to
uncover
the
error
of
suc●
a
Doctrine
.
Again
he
affirmed
,
That
a
man
at
one
and
the
same
time
might
be
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
and
a
Deceiver
.
Answ.
And
here
all
may
see
the
weakness
and
Ignorance
of
this
strange
Paradox
,
and
indeed
which
is
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
which
saith
,
No
man
can
serve
two
Masters
:
and
it
s
very
certain
,
that
he
that
serves
the
Devil
,
doth
●ot
serve
Christ
at
the
same
time
;
and
he
that
serves
Christ
doth
not
serve
the
Devil
;
and
so
his
Doctrine
is
Antichristian
,
which
would
make
People
believe
,
that
though
they
serve
the
Devil
,
yet
they
are
the
Servants
of
God
;
and
this
is
as
much
as
he
hath
said
,
that
one
may
be
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
and
yet
a
Deceiver
;
now
a
Deceiver
is
one
that
follows
the
Spirit
of
the
Devil
,
and
a
Minister
of
Christ
is
one
that
followes
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
these
two
Spirits
are
contrary
,
and
not
both
ruling
in
one
man
at
one
time
:
But
then
to
help
the
matter
,
he
said
,
a
man
might
serve
Christ
in
Office
,
but
not
in
Love
:
to
which
my
answer
was
,
let
him
say
,
whether
he
and
the
Priests
of
England
did
serve
Christ
by
way
of
Office
,
or
Love
,
both
,
or
either
,
and
I
should
prove
the
contrary
;
but
that
we
prosecuted
no
further
:
Some
other
things
were
affirmed
by
him
that
day
,
not
now
remembred
.
He
said
,
That
Christ
was
a
Sinner
,
from
this
Argument
laid
down
by
him
;
all
that
dies
●●e
Sinners
,
Christ
died
,
therefore
,
&c.
These
,
and
such
things
he
held
forth
all
that
day
,
besides
the
unsoberness
of
his
words
,
and
carriages
towards
me
,
who
called
me
a
Dog
divers
times
,
and
did
use
very
ridiculous
jestures
and
words
towards
me
,
even
to
his
own
shame
in
the
sight
of
many
people
;
and
the
people
of
that
County
do
yet
well
remember
his
unchristian-like
proceedings
;
and
were
ashamed
of
him
;
but
at
last
went
his
way
,
and
all
his
brethen
,
and
I
was
left
among
the
people
;
and
I
need
not
now
mention
for
many
,
even
themselves
know
it
,
what
loss
and
disadvantage
they
sustained
that
day
;
and
Gods
loving
Truth
was
advanced
,
and
the
advantage
of
it
that
was
obtained
on
the
Lords
behalf
;
but
I
being
not
yet
as
it
were
wholly
satisfied
,
but
would
endeavour
further
to
the
laying
open
deceit
,
and
to
invade
Antichrists
kingdom
;
the
next
morning
after
the
dispute
it
was
upon
me
to
write
forth
,
and
to
send
him
this
paper
of
Propositions
following
:
whereunto
is
annexed
his
Answer
.
C.
Fowler
:
FRiend
,
seeing
thou
art
so
high
in
thy
spirit
against
us
,
and
against
the
truth
which
we
profess
,
and
from
time
to
time
dost
open
thy
Mouth
so
wide
in
Justification
of
thy self
,
and
thy
Practices
,
and
in
false
charges
against
us
;
and
though
we
have
had
divers
Meetings
,
and
the
differences
between
us
alwayes
appeared
greater
and
greater
;
therefore
this
I
propound
unto
thee
,
Whether
thou
wilt
give
another
Meeting
of
open
dispute
for
the
tryal
of
thee
,
and
thy
wayes
,
and
of
us
,
and
the
truths
which
we
hold
forth
,
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
people
?
and
these
things
following
I
propound
,
as
the
subject
matter
worthy
to
be
handled
,
which
may
discover
thee
,
and
us
,
to
the
satisfaction
of
all
that
desires
in
that
case
.
First
,
What
be
the
evident
signes
and
tokens
of
a
Wolf
in
sheeps
clothing
?
and
whether
thou
,
or
we
,
in
the
sight
of
the
people
,
and
of
the
Lord
God
can
clear
our selves
,
to
be
clear
and
free
,
from
the
marks
and
signs
of
such
aforesaid
?
Secondly
,
Whether
wilt
thou
stand
to
be
tried
in
thy
Ministry
,
in
thy
Call
to
it
,
Practice
in
it
,
and
Maintenance
of
it
,
by
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
the
old
and
new
Testament
?
and
wilt
thou
admit
of
tryal
of
thy
Church
,
and
Worship
,
and
Ministry
thereby
?
and
this
being
done
,
we
do
engage
to
suffer
the
like
tryal
in
any
part
,
and
every
part
of
our
Religion
.
Thirdly
,
Whether
there
be
any
other
Foundation
of
Faith
,
&c.
for
the
people
of
God
at
this
day
,
then
Jesus
Christ
onely
,
and
alone
?
and
whether
he
was
not
the
Foundation
to
the
Fathers
before
the
Scriptures
were
written
?
and
whether
he
that
layes
or
preaches
any
other
Foundation
,
doth
not
dishonor
Christ
,
and
speak
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
?
These
things
with
some
others
,
which
we
may
have
occasion
to
speak
of
,
are
we
willing
to
discourse
with
thee
,
for
the
further
clearing
of
the
truth
,
and
laying
open
dece●…
;
for
yesterday
I
had
much
more
to
have
spoken
to
thee
,
hadst
thou
not
go●…●…o
hastily
away
:
so
if
thou
art
willing
to
joyn
in
discourse
w●●h
me
again
●…int
place
and
hour
,
either
this
day
,
or
to
morow
,
for
my
occasions
w●ll
admit
of
either
of
these
two
days
;
always
provided
that
we
may
have
all
mode●●tion
,
and
may
proceed
in
meekness
like
men
,
and
not
like
Raylers
,
as
thou
appearedst
yesterday
to
thy
own
shame
.
An
answer
hereof
we
do
expect
with
speed
;
and
we
are
Friends
to
all
that
love
Righteousness

THe
original
of
this
was
delivered
to
the
hands
of
C.
Fowler
in
Reading
,
the
next
morning
after
the
dispute
at
East-Hamsted
,
and
being
given
to
him
at
his
Steeple-house-door
,
when
he
was
comming
out
from
his
worship
,
he
would
have
given
them
again
to
the
Messenger
,
after
he
had
it
in
his
hand
,
and
opened
it
,
but
not
being
taken
,
he
said
he
would
burn
it
:
and
thus
people
may
see
,
that
though
he
cryed
against
us
as
Deceivers
behind
our
backs
,
yet
he
is
one
of
them
dumb
Dogs
that
cannot
bark
,
nor
fright
us
away
,
if
we
were
such
as
he
saith
of
us
.
And
here
all
sober
people
may
understand
the
temper
of
this
my
Adversary
,
and
I
shall
leave
them
to
judge
of
the
proceedings
between
him
and
me
;
but
yet
though
he
denies
to
meet
me
,
yet
when
I
was
passed
out
of
the
Country
,
becaused
the
following
paper
to
be
fixed
upon
the
Steeple-house-door
at
East-H●●sted
,
where
the
dispute
was
drawn
up
by
him
,
and
set
there
as
a
hidious
vapour
,
to
enchant
the
minds
of
people
;
it
may
be
,
not
supposing
that
ever
it
should
have
come
to
publique
view
,
as
now
it
is
like
to
do
,
to
his
shame
.
A
true
Charge
in
ten
particulars
against
the
people
called
QUAKERS
1.
THey
that
pernitiously
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
are
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
:
But
those
called
Quakers
do
thus
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
;
therefore
they
are
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
.
2.
They
that
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Foundation
of
Faith
,
and
Rule
of
Life
,
they
are
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
:
But
the
Quakers
do
this
;
therefore
they
are
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
.
3.
They
that
do
not
own
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
to
be
God
by
Nature
,
are
horrible
Blasphemers
:
But
those
called
Quakers
,
do
not
own
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
to
be
God
by
Na●●re
;
therefore
they
are
Blasphemers
.
4.
They
that
say
the
good
works
of
the
Saints
are
meritorious
of
Eternal
Life
,
are
Hereticks
,
and
Papists
of
the
worst
sort
:
But
the
Quakers
say
so
;
therefore
they
are
Hereticks
,
and
Papists
.
5.
They
that
deny
the
Ordinance
of
Water-Baptism
,
and
the
Administration
of
the
Lord's-Supper
,
they
are
Antichristian
Hereticks
:
But
the
Quakers
do
this
;
therefore
the
Quakers
are
Antichristian
Heretick
.
6.
They
that
deny
the
sin
of
Infants
are
Pelagian
Hereticks
:
But
the
Quakers
deny
the
Sin
of
Infants
;
therefore
they
are
Pelagian
Hereticks
.
7.
They
that
deny
the
Resurrection
of
this
Body
,
are
Hereticks
:
But
the
Quakers
deny
this
;
therefore
they
are
Hereticks
.
8.
They
that
deny
the
Christian
Sabbath
,
are
very
erroneous
:
But
the
Quakers
do
this
;
therefore
they
are
very
erroneous
.
9.
They
that
quarrel
at
,
and
deride
the
singing
of
David's
Psalms
,
the●…de
●…de
of
Hopkins
,
and
Sternhold
,
the
Kings
Fidlers
,
they
are
foo●…
ignorant
and
P●…ne
in
that
:
But
the
Quakers
do
this
;
therefore
they
are
fooli●●
ignorant
,
and
Pr●phane
in
this
.
10.
They
that
publikely
charge
the
Office
and
Call
of
Ministers
with
Lyes
▪
and
Calum●…
,
they
are
Railers
and
Slanderers
:
But
the
people
called
Quakers
do
this
;
therefore
the
people
called
Quakers
,
are
Railers
and
Slanderers
.
These
things
through
the
Lord
I
am
able
to
justifie
,
and
if
I
do
not
,
I
shall
be
contented
to
be
called
a
Deceiver
:
Let
them
chuse
their
own
time
as
soon
as
they
please
;
in
witness
whereof
I
have
set
to
my
hand
,
this
twenty
sixth
of
November
,
1659.

Fowler

And
according
to
providence
,
this
paper
coming
to
my
hands
,
though
it
s
believed
without
any
purpose
in
him
,
to
which
I
did
return
my
Answer
,
as
to
answer
his
Challenge
,
and
neither
time
nor
place
being
mentioned
by
him
but
both
left
to
us
to
appoint
,
I
did
appoint
Reading
for
the
plate
,
and
nominated
a
certain
day
●●r
the
time
,
and
he
had
●●gh
a
week
,
notice
from
me
,
and
the
time
appointed
I
went
to
R●●ding
to
attend
the
Service
,
but
when
I
came
there
,
I
understood
that
be
would
not
meet
me
according
to
his
own
Proposals
and
Agreement
,
but
nominated
another
place
,
and
another
time
,
which
was
supposed
by
me
and
others
●o
●e
but
a
present
evacting
of
the
●…er
?
whereupon
his
denial
to
meet
me
at
the
time
and
plac●
appointed
by
me
,
this
following
Letter
I
sent
unto
him
.
C
Fo●…
,
WHereas
a
Challenge
of
●hine
(
to
us
called
Quakers
,
for
a
Dispute
upon
ten
Particulars
)
was
set
upon
the
Steeple-house
door
,
at
East
Hamsted
,
and
leaving
it
to
us
to
appoint
time
and
place
,
I
did
appoint
,
Reading
for
the
place
,
and
the
fourth
day
of
this
week
,
called
Wednesday
,
the
21th
.
of
this
moneth
,
for
the
time
;
and
in
order
to
proceed
(
upon
the
Particulars
in
dispute
with
thee
,
the
place
and
●●me
above●●id
)
I
ordered
my
occasions
so
as
to
attend
upon
the
Service
the
said
time
,
but
I
being
come
into
the
Town
this
night
,
do
perceive
,
that
thou
art
not
content
with
the
place
and
time
,
though
they
were
left
to
our
appointing
in
thy
Challenge
,
but
hast
appointed
another
place
and
time
,
upon
some
feeble
Reasons
which
thou
givest
,
which
I
might
shew
the
weakness
of
,
and
might
upon
many
better
reasons
say
,
that
Reading
is
the
only
place
seasonable
to
dispute
at
;
●or
if
thou
be
indeed
a
true
Minister
of
Christ
,
the
people
of
this
Town
best
deserve
to
know
it
,
by
hearing
it
to
be
so
;
and
if
thou
art
a
Deceiver
,
the
people
of
this
Town
had
the
most
need
of
any
others
to
know
it
,
by
hearing
thee
disproved
:
So
upon
this
place
I
have
pitched
,
and
cannot
now
change
my
resolution
,
nor
alter
neither
time
nor
place
,
by
me
before-mentioned
,
my
occasion
will
not
admit
me
to
it
.
Therefore
I
thought
good
to
write
to
thee
,
to
know
for
certain
under
thy
hand
,
whether
you
will
give
a
meeting
or
not
in
this
Town
,
the
fourth
day
next
,
as
aforesaid
;
if
not
,
this
matter
must
yet
remain
as
it
stands
between
us
,
till
a
more
clear
opportunity
;
for
I
cannot
be
at
Oking●●●
the
day
mentioned
by
thee
,
because
my
service
is
already
determined
for
that
day
,
and
for
some
other
reasons
also
in
my
own
breast
:
Let
me
have
a
plain
answer
from
thee
,
that
I
may
dispose
of
my self
is
the
Lord
guides
me
for
his
service
.
This
is
all
for
present
I
do
desire
,
who
am
a
Friend
to
all
that
love
the
Lord
.

E.
Burroughs
.
But
to
this
Letter
his
Answer
was
,
he
would
not
meet
me
at
Reading
,
for
there
was
no
need
of
Dispute
there
;
and
therefore
it
is
my
present
work
at
this
time
,
for
to
answer
his
ten
Particulars
in
writing
,
and
to
make
them
publick
to
●ll
,
that
all
may
judge
of
this
matter
.
And
indeed
,
but
that
for
these
te●
particulrs
Charges
,
and
that
truth
may
be
clear
from
those
Charges
in
his
ten
Particulars
,
I
believe
I
had
not
thus
proceeded
in
this
publick
manner
;
but
because
●e
ceaseth
not
to
speak
evil
of
the
Truth
,
and
yet
will
not
come
forth
fairly
to
Tryal
,
neither
will
answer
me
any
Queries
in
publick
,
but
keeps
a
secret
reviling
and
reproaching
;
therefore
do
I
thus
proceed
.
Answer
to
the
first
Position
:
Thy
Major
and
thy
Minor
are
both
lame
,
and
both
false
,
and
thy
so
conclusion
falls
,
to
the
Ground
;
for
the
Quakers
do
not
pernitiously
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
but
they
in
sincerity
say
,
that
Christ
is
the
Word
of
God
,
Io.

and
the
Scriptures
are
the
Words
of
God
,
and
a
Declaration
,
and
a
Treatise
,
and
this
Testimony
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
Luke
1.
1
:
Acts
1.
And
it
is
not
Heresie
nor
Blasphemy
to
deny
the
Scriptures
(
to
wit
,
the
writings
)
to
be
the
Word
of
God
,
but
the
truth
written
of
,
and
those
things
declared
of
in
the
Scriptures
,
〈◊〉
●he
Word
of
God
,
and
not
the
writings
,
which
are
Scriptures
,
But
this
i●●●●the●
〈◊〉
to
before
,
m●
so
I
pass
it
.
Answer
to
the
second
Position
:
Thy
Major
Position
is
u●●●●ly
〈◊〉
,
and
not
grounded
upon
any
part
of
the
Scriptures
,
so
that
the
Ni●…
,
and
the
Conclu●●●●
are
both
denied
and
cast
out
:
for
a
man
m●y
s●y
,
That
Chris●●●e
Foundation
of
Faith
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
is
the
Rule
of
Life
;
for
thus
the
Scriptures
say
:
and
a
man
may
lawfull
;
deny
the
Scriptures
to
be
the
Foundation
of
Fa●●●
,
and
Rule
of
Life
,
and
neither
be
Heretick
nor
Blasphemer
:
was
the
Apo●●●e
a
Blasphemer
and
a
Heretick
,
who
said
,
No
other
Foundation
could
be
laid
,
but
th●●
which
was
laid
already
,
which
was
Christ
?
And
was
he
a
Heretick
and
a
Blasphemer
,
that
said
,
The
Sons
of
God
were
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
exhorted
to
walk
●y
the
Rule
of
the
Spirit
?
and
are
the
Quakars
,
Blasphemers
and
Hereti●●s
,
who
●old
forth
,
that
Truth
the
Apostles
held
forth
;
and
who
walk
by
the
Spirit
,
w●…
according
,
and
not
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
?
O
tho●
Perverter
of
the
right
way
of
God
,
who
hast
falsly
accused
the
Innocent
in
thy
illiterate
Logick
.
Answer
to
the
third
Position
:
In
this
thou
hast
falsly
accused
;
but
yet
let
us
c●●sider
thy
words
;
There
was
a
Nature
in
that
Ma●
Iesus
Christ
;
that
was
born
of
t●e
●●●gin
,
that
was
subject
to
cold
,
heat
,
thirst
and
hunger
,
and
subject
to
be
tempted
of
the
Devil
;
and
this
nature
was
not
God
,
whose
nature
is
Infinite
,
Eternal
Unmeasurable
,
me
s●bject
to
hunger
nor
thirst
,
nor
to
heat
and
cold
,
nor
subject
to
temptations
;
so
that
a
man
may
say
lawfully
,
and
be
no
Blasphemer
,
that
there
was
a
Nature
in
him
which
was
●ot
God
,
and
yet
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
dwelt
in
him
too
;
and
he
is
the
Everlasting
Father
,
and
the
Father
is
in
him
,
and
he
in
the
Father
:
and
thus
by
a
sound
interpretation
of
the
Word
,
(
God
by
Nature
)
thy
Major
,
and
Minor
,
and
Conclusion
,
are
all
made
void
.
Answer
to
the
fourth
:
The
good
works
of
the
Saints
are
wrought
in
God
,
and
by
his
Spirit
,
and
its
God
that
works
in
them
to
will
and
to
do
,
and
all
such
Works
are
worthy
Works
,
glorious
Works
and
blessed
Works
,
even
unto
Eternal
Life
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
Glory
,
Honour
and
Peace
be
unto
every
man
that
●orketh
good
,
Rom.
2.

,
10.
And
no
man
by
Faith
without
Works
is
justified
;
for
Faith
without
Works
is
dead
,
and
a
dead
Faith
doth
not
justifie
:
This
is
our
Faith
,
and
the
Faith
which
the
Apostles
were
of
;
and
we
are
neither
Hereticks
nor
Papists
no
more
then
were
the
Apostles
:
and
thy
argument
is
vain
,
and
falls
to
the
ground
,
and
hath
no
weight
in
it
unto
sober
Minds
,
though
Self-righteousness
is
altogether
Abomination
to
the
Lord
,
and
justifieth
not
any
man
.
Answer
to
the
fifth
Position
:
A
man
may
deny
the
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
the
administration
of
Bread
and
Wine
,
as
is
held
forth
in
your
Assemblies
,
and
be
neither
Antichristian
,
nor
a
Heretick
;
for
the
Institution
of
sprinkling
Infants
,
and
administring
of
Bread
and
Wine
among
unconverted
people
was
never
ordained
of
God
,
nor
practised
amongst
the
Apostles
;
if
thou
sayst
it
was
,
prove
it
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
or
else
stop
thy
Mouth
;
and
to
deny
such
Ordinances
and
Practices
,
which
God
never
commanded
,
nor
the
Saints
of
for●er
Ages
ever
practiced
,
is
not
Antichristian
nor
Heresie
;
but
thu
;
do
the
Qakers
,
and
t●●●●fore
they
are
not
Antichristian
nor
Hereticks
upon
this
accomp●
and
t●●●
thy
Position
is
not
worth
any
thing
,
for
the
end
proposed
by
thee
;
but
thy
Weakness
and
Folly
is
made
manifest
,
and
thy
idolat●ous
Pr●ctices
,
so
much
pl●●●ed
for
by
thee
,
are
denied
and
opposed
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
.
Answer
to
the
sixth
Position
:
As
for
the
sin
of
Infants
,
we
do
not
say
,
That
Infants
in
general
,
that
is
to
say
,
every
particular
Infant
that
is
〈◊〉
hath
been
horn
into
the
World
,
has
Sin
;
for
some
were
fillen
with
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
some
were
●●●ctified
from
their
Mother
Womb
;
and
what
Sin
had
such
?
And
the
Script●re
speaks
,
That
the
Unbelieving
Wife
is

unclean
,
but
now
are
they
holy
:
And
what
sin
had
these
.
So
that
●●y
ma●…
is
proved
defective
,
and
so
thy
minor
and
thy
conclusion
is
worth
nothing
,
though
as
to
the
general
part
we
do
believe
,
there
is
a
nature
whereby
all
are
Children
of
Wrath
,
in
Degeneration
.
Answer
to
the
seventh
:
This
is
a
false
Accusation
,
thy
minor
Proposition
,
and
is
a
Lye
;
and
so
thy
Conclusion
is
utterly
false
.
Answer
to
the
eighth
:
As
for
the
Christian-Sabbath
,
we
do
not
deny
that
,
for
Christ
is
the
Saints
Rest
;
and
the
Seventh
day
of
the
Week
is
the
Iews
Sabboth
,
and
not
the
Christian-Sabbath
;
and
so
this
is
but
a
false
Accusation
,
as
the
rest
.
And
as
for
the
first
day
of
the
Week
,
which
you
observe
for
Sabboth
,
you
have
neither
binding
Example
,
nor
express
Command
in
Scripture
for
that
practice
.
Answer
to
the
ninth
:
As
for
the
singing
of
David's
Psalms
in
Rhime
and
Meeter
,
and
in
the
Custom
as
practised
amongst
you
,
we
do
utterly
deny
to
be
any
Ordinance
of
God
,
or
any
part
of
his
Worship
,
though
you
say
it
is
;
yet
we
never
had
other
proof
of
you
then
Tradition
of
time
,
and
long
Custom
;
and
by
this
you
would
seem
to
plead
the
practice
to
be
a
Duty
:
But
this
satisfies
not
us
,
though
we
do
not
quarrel
nor
deride
at
your
practice
in
this
particular
;
(
as
thou
groundst
thy
Argument
)
but
this
we
do
,
we
freely
give
our
Testimony
against
your
practice
from
time
to
time
,
in
the
Fear
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
yet
not
as
quarrelling
and
deriding
after
the
Flesh
;
though
we
do
say
,
they
were
composed
in
Rhime
and
Meeter
by
Sternhold
,
and
Hopkins
,
and
others
,
which
were
Musitioners
to
the
Queen
;
and
in
this
we
say
true
,
and
are
neither
ignorant
,
foolish
,
nor
prophane
,
as
thou
sayst
;
and
we
give
witness
against
such
your
practice
to
be
Antichristian
,
and
you
Deceivers
of
the
People
thereby
:
so
hereby
is
thy
Conclusion
made
void
,
and
a
place
is
brought
in
for
another
;
They
that
act
such
things
,
and
observe
such
practices
,
in
pretence
of
Honour
and
Worship
to
God
,
which
is
not
commanded
nor
instituted
of
God
,
nor
which
his
Spirits
leads
unto
,
They
are
Idolaters
,
and
their
Worship
,
and
their
Practice
is
Abomination
unto
the
Lord
:
But
thus
do
the
Ministers
and
People
of
the
Church
of
England
;
and
therefore
the
Ministers
and
People
of
the
Church
of
England
are
Idolaters
,
and
their
Practices
Abomination
unto
the
Lord
.
Answer
to
the
tenth
:
Thy
minor
Proposition
I
do
deny
;
for
we
do
not
charge
the
Office
and
Call
of
the
Ministers
of
the
Church
of
England
with
Lies
and
Calumnies
;
but
this
we
say
,
their
Office
,
and
their
Call
is
not
from
the
Lord
,
nor
by
the
Authority
of
his
Spirit
;
neither
is
their
Office
and
Call
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
but
it
is
different
and
contrary
both
to
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
Scriptures
,
and
is
not
from
Heaven
,
but
rather
from
the
Whore
of
Rome
.
And
though
we
do
affirm
these
things
concerning
the
Ministry
of
England
,
yet
we
do
not
charge
it
with
Lyes
and
Calumnies
,
but
we
speak
the
Truth
in
righteousness
:
And
what
would
C.
Fowler
and
his
Brethren
have
said
of
the
true
Prophets
,
that
called
the
Priests
and
Watchmen
of
Israel
,
(
that
were
made
by
Divine
Institution
,
which
the
Office
and
Call
of
England's
Ministry
never
was
)
that
called
them
blind
Watchmen
,
and
greedy
dumb
Dogs
,
and
devourers
of
Souls
?
Might
not
they
have
said
to
the
true
Prophets
,
you
charge
the
Office
and
Call
of
the
Priests
of
the
Lord
with
Lyes
and
Slanders
?
And
this
is
like
the
case
between
us
and
the
Priests
of
England
:
And
did
not
Christ
call
the
chief
Priests
Serpents
,
Vipers
and
Hypocrites
,
and
those
Priests
were
in
their
Office
,
and
Call
of
Gods
Institution
;
but
might
not
they
have
said
,
that
he
charged
the
Office
and
Call
of
the
Priesthood
with
Calumnies
,
&c.
and
the
case
is
the
same
with
us
;
and
it
is
accounted
no
sin
by
the
Lord
,
for
us
to
give
our
witness
against
the
Wayes
and
Practices
of
the
Priests
of
England
,
and
utterly
to
deny
both
its
Office
and
Call
;
for
they
that
do
profess
their
Office
and
Call
to
be
of
God
,
and
from
him
,
and
yet
can
give
no
true
Testimony
thereof
,
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
such
are
deceived
,
and
Deceivers
of
others
;
but
such
are
the
Priests
of
England
,
and
therefore
,
&c.
And
thus
I
have
returned
Answer
to
his
Ten
Propositions
,
and
laid
down
some
others
in
their
place
,
his
being
confounded
;
and
I
must
leave
it
to
be
judged
of
by
the
Witness
in
every
mans
Conscience
,
whether
he
hath
not
shewed
his
madness
and
folly
in
his
matter
,
and
in
the
way
of
his
proceedings
;
as
for
the
matter
he
charges
us
withal
,
it
s
wholy
invalid
,
as
for
the
end
propo●ed
by
h●●
,
and
we
account
of
his
Work
,
as
but
the
malice
of
an
Antichristian
spirit
:
And
as
for
his
proceedings
,
they
are
inconsistent
with
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
for
him
and
his
Brethren
to
fly
from
me
at
his
Dispute
at
East-Hamsted
,
as
before
mentioned
,
as
being
not
able
to
defend
their
Cause
;
this
he
and
they
did
,
as
many
in
that
Country
knows
:
●●d
then
for
him
the
next
morning
,
when
I
did
invite
him
to
meet
again
upon
sober
reasons
,
which
he
also
denied
,
and
refused
to
meet
me
any
more
;
and
yet
afterwards
,
when
I
was
gone
out
of
the
Country
,
to
go
and
hatch
such
mischief
in
his
mind
,
as
to
invent
ten
such
rain
Arguments
,
and
cause
them
to
be
set
up
on
the
Steeple-house-door
,
o●
purpose
to
villifie
and
reproach
the
Innocent
People
of
God
;
this
was
his
Wickedness
,
as
all
upright
men
may
see
:
And
further
,
for
him
to
challenge
to
dispute
these
Particulars
,
and
leave
time
and
place
to
our
appointing
;
which
when
time
and
place
was
appointed
,
sutable
and
equitable
on
all
parts
;
and
yet
for
him
to
refuse
to
meet
at
that
time
and
place
,
this
was
his
f●dy
and
madness
,
as
understanding
men
may
discern
:
And
further
,
for
him
yet
to
rail
behind
our
backs
against
us
in
his
Pulpit
,
and
to
charge
us
,
as
if
we
refused
to
meet
him
;
this
is
his
hypocrisie
,
and
the
deceitfulness
of
his
heart
,
whereby
he
thinks
to
keep
the
People
in
blindness
;
but
the
Light
is
now
arising
in
the
Hearts
of
People
,
whereby
such
Deceits
and
Deceivers
are
fully
discovered
,
and
they
cannot
now
be
hid
.
And
though
for
many
Ages
Deceivers
,
and
false
Prophets
,
have
hid
themselves
under
the
Profession
of
Ministers
,
and
fine
names
;
yet
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
dawned
,
which
hath
made
them
fully
manifest
,
and
now
their
Sheeps
cloathing
will
not
hide
them
,
though
they
cover
themselves
therewith
,
and
have
deceived
the
World
thereby
,
and
these
Babylons
Merchants
,
they
have
made
great
gain
upon
people
,
and
traded
with
the
Souls
of
men
,
and
Souls
have
been
murdered
,
even
for
dishonest
gain
;
but
the
Plagues
of
God
is
coming
upon
the
Earth
,
which
the
Whore
,
the
false
Church
hath
corrupted
through
her
Sorceries
and
Witchcrafts
;
and
as
she
hath
done
unto
others
,
in
causing
them
to
drink
her
Cup
of
Abominations
,
and
false
Principles
,
Doctrines
and
Practices
,
which
the
Beast
and
his
Power
hath
imposed
upon
the
Nations
,
and
Nations
have
been
made
drunk
thereby
;
and
in
particular
,
this
C.
Fowler
,
with
whom
I
am
now
dealing
,
is
made
manifest
to
be
one
of
these
Merchants
of
Babylon
,
who
hath
made
Merchandize
of
people
for
gain
to
himself
,
and
such
are
his
covetous
cursed
Practices
,
having
a
heart
exercised
with
Covetousness
and
Oppression
,
as
is
well
known
in
the
Town
of
Reading
;
as
for
instance
.
First
,
It
was
charged
upon
him
,
and
confessed
by
him
,
that
he
sued
at
Law
twelve
poor
men
of
Reading
,
for
the
Tythe
of
their
Turnips
,
and
with
much
malice
and
greediness
did
prosecute
the
twelve
poor
men
,
and
put
himself
and
them
to
great
Charges
and
Trouble
;
onely
he
confessed
he
took
but
twenty
Nobles
of
them
,
and
thought
he
did
favourably
with
them
.
Now
this
was
acknowledged
by
his
own
Mouth
,
which
is
a
clear
demonstration
of
the
Cove●ousness
and
Oppression
of
this
man
,
and
that
he
is
a
grinder
of
the
faces
of
the
Poor
,
and
exceeds
in
Unmercifulness
and
Cruelty
,
the
very
worst
of
the
false
Prophets
that
ever
we
read
of
in
Scripture
.
Oh!
abominable
Practice
,
which
shames
Christianity
,
and
the
Profession
of
Christ
,
that
ever
such
a
Fellow
should
have
the
name
of
a
Gospel-Minister
,
and
that
ever
people
should
be
so
blind
,
as
to
receive
this
man
for
a
Messenger
of
God
,
who
hath
a
heart
filled
with
such
cursed
grinding
Practices
,
who
is
in
the
way
of
Balaam
,
and
exceeding
him
in
covetousness
.
Secondly
,
He
said
,
he
did
not
Preach
for
Hire
;
but
confessed
,
that
he
had
Hire
for
Preaching
.
Answ.
With
this
kind
of
foolish
Paradox
he
would
deceive
and
blind
the
people
,
for
if
he
have
hire
for
Preaching
(
for
)
sheweth
a
reason
,
and
it
is
the
same
,
he
hath
hire
,
because
he
preacheth
;
that
is
the
reason
wherefore
he
hath
hire
,
and
so
he
is
a
hireling
:
And
it
may
easily
be
proved
,
that
he
will
not
preach
,
if
he
have
not
so
much
Money
,
Tythes
,
or
such
things
,
and
his
own
example
before-mentioned
,
in
suing
at
Law
twelve
poor
men
,
for
the
very
Tythes
of
Turnips
in
the
Garden
,
doth
demonstrate
him
sufficiently
to
be
a
hireling
,
as
also
a
third
particular
;
which
is
,
He
demanded
Money
of
a
certain
man
is
Reading
,
for
marrying
the
said
man
,
when
as
the
man
was
married
by
another
;
yet
notwithstanding
the
said
Fowler
forced
the
said
man
to
give
him
seven
shillings
and
six
pence
,
because
he
pretended
he
was
a
man
of
his
Parish
(
to
wit
)
within
his
quarter
,
where
he
seeks
his
gain
.
Answ.
And
thus
it
is
fully
manifest
more
and
more
,
that
he
is
one
that
seeks
for
his
gain
from
his
quarter
,
and
is
a
compleat
man
in
the
very
nature
and
steps
of
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
,
whose
example
he
doth
follow
,
and
not
the
example
of
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Was
not
this
a
piece
of
griping
coveteousness
,
to
demand
Money
of
the
man
which
he
married
not
?
Oh
abominable
!
What
,
wouldst
thou
have
Wages
without
any
work
?
this
is
a
degree
beyond
preaching
for
hire
,
to
claim
and
receive
Money
of
a
man
,
having
no
manner
of
due
,
nor
title
thereunto
:
Well
,
people
cannot
be
so
blind
,
but
they
must
needs
see
thy
folly
,
wickedness
and
covetousness
.
Fourthly
,
Christopher
Fowler
at
a
certain
time
did
give
a
poor
Minister
,
so
called
,
five
shillings
;
and
afterwards
there
happened
to
be
a
Collection
for
the
poor
Irish
,
and
he
snatched
five
shillings
of
that
Money
away
which
was
gathered
,
and
said
,
he
gave
five
shillings
a
while
ago
to
a
poor
Minister
,
This
was
his
pretence
,
and
thus
he
defrauded
the
poor
Irish
people
.
Answ.
Was
not
this
also
a
foul
covetous
Practise
,
and
hypocrisie
too
,
in
pretending
to
give
a
poor
man
some
Money
,
and
afterwards
,
as
it
were
,
to
rob
others
to
pay
himself
?
Here
is
a
double
iniquity
,
and
unmeasurable
covetousness
,
which
the
Lord
will
judge
:
And
the
like
of
this
manner
of
greediness
is
seldom
to
be
found
so
foul
,
and
so
extream
deceitful
and
covetous
:
But
all
these
things
are
but
a
further
testimony
of
his
naughtiness
;
and
this
I
do
in
order
,
that
all
men
may
beware
and
take
heed
of
the
mouthes
of
Wolves
in
Sheeps
cloathing
,
which
tears
the
flocks
,
and
devoures
both
souls
and
bodies
of
men
,
such
a
one
as
this
man
,
with
which
I
am
now
dealing
;
let
all
men
beware
of
him
,
least
they
become
his
prey
.
Fifthly
,
Another
covetous
Practise
of
Christopher
Fowlers
was
,
he
sold
one
Load
of
Straw
twice
,
and
the
man
that
bought
it
first
,
did
sue
him
at
Law
,
and
it
was
prosecuted
,
and
Fowler
was
Cast
,
to
his
great
shame
;
and
this
the
people
of
Reading
very
well
knows
.
Answ.
Nothing
need
be
said
,
as
to
discover
the
wickedness
and
covetousness
of
this
Practise
,
the
worst
of
men
seldom
ever
is
found
in
such
a
Practise
:
Is
not
this
an
unfit
person
to
mention
the
Name
of
Christ
,
or
to
take
it
into
his
mouth
?
Oh
deceitful
man
I
who
art
unfit
to
be
called
a
Christian
,
much
less
a
Minister
of
Christ
:
These
,
and
divers
others
such
like
covetous
Practises
is
C.
F.
highly
guilty
of
,
as
many
good
people
very
well
knows
.
Divers
other
things
I
could
mention
,
but
these
for
present
are
sufficient
,
for
the
end
that
they
are
produced
,
which
is
to
lay
Christopher
Fowlers
wickedness
upon
him
,
that
he
may
feel
the
weight
of
it
upon
his
conscience
,
and
that
all
sober
people
may
be
warned
of
such
men
,
that
they
have
not
to
do
with
them
.
But
however
,
if
Chrisiopher
Fowler
shall
answer
my
Queries
propounded
to
him
,
and
shall
seek
to
clear
himself
from
what
I
have
said
,
he
shall
hear
further
from
me
;
however
in
the
mean
time
,
let
him
stop
his
boasting
,
and
vaunting
,
and
vapouring
Challenges
,
till
he
hath
answered
what
is
charged
against
him
in
this
Book
.
But
and
if
Christopher
Fowler
doth
go
on
with
his
railing
Accusations
,
and
presumptuous
boasts
against
us
,
then
let
him
appoint
any
time
that
he
shall
please
,
and
in
the
Lord's
Power
I
shall
engage
,
that
he
shall
be
met
at
what
time
he
will
appoint
,
in
any
place
in
Reading
.
Reading
I
do
appoint
for
the
place
,
let
him
appoint
what
time
he
please
for
to
dispute
of
any
such
thing
or
things
as
we
may
agree
upon
at
our
meeting
:
And
though
he
is
unwilling
to
dispute
in
Reading
,
yet
there
is
no
other
place
so
sutable
as
that
Town
is
,
for
many
reasons
,
as
may
be
shewed
;
and
I
suppose
justly
,
that
his
unwillingness
to
dispute
at
Reading
,
ariseth
,
lest
he
should
be
discovered
among
his
own
Hearers
,
and
therefore
would
evade
the
matter
,
by
seeming
to
be
willing
to
dispute
at
other
places
,
which
is
not
so
sutable
,
nor
yet
so
reasonable
;
but
if
he
will
at
Reading
,
let
him
appoint
time
at
his
pleasure
,
and
he
shall
be
answered
,
if
God
permit
.
Now
C.
Fowler
,
hold
up
thy
hand
;
Guilty
,
or
not
Guilty
;
whether
a
Minister
of
Christ
,
or
a
Deceiver
?
come
to
the
Bar
,
and
receive
the
Sentence
,
thou
that
hast
long
been
accounted
by
some
as
an
Oracle
;
thy
glory
is
fallen
,
and
thou
art
brought
into
contempt
:
How
have
they
been
deceived
,
that
have
looked
upon
thee
as
an
Oracle
?
thy
Language
is
sentenced
to
be
of
Bab●lon
;
and
the
Beast
false
Prophet
must
be
taken
alive
,
and
cast
into
the
Lake
of
Burning
:
The
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
.

A

RETURN
TO
THE
MINISTERS
OF
LONDON
,
BY
Way
of
Answer
to
their
Seasonable
Exhortation
,
(
so
called
)
directed
to
their
Congregations
.
With
sober
Reproof
sent
unto
them
,
because
of
their
secret
Smitings
against
the
dispised
People
called
Quakers
,
whom
they
have
secretly
reproached
in
their
said
Exhortation
.
And
this
is
written
for
the
better
Information
of
them
and
their
particular
Congregations
,
and
that
Truth
may
he
exalted
,
and
Deceit
and
Iniquity
may
Bow
and
Tremble
.
1.
FOrasmuch
as
you
the
Ministers
in
and
about
London
,
have
sent
forth
a
Seasonable
Exhortation
(
as
you
call
it
)
to
the
people
of
your
Congregations
,
which
I
have
seen
,
read
,
and
considered
,
and
do
find
something
therein
worthy
of
Answer
;
for
the
end
that
People
may
be
satisfied
concerning
things
doubtfull
,
which
are
in
controversie
this
day
among
many
;
for
it
is
well
known
the
Controversie
hath
been
long
,
and
is
grown
very
high
between
us
and
you
,
concerning
Church
,
Ministry
,
and
Religion
;
and
divers
things
in
your
Exhortation
are
doubtfull
unto
many
;
and
that
all
doubts
may
be
removed
,
if
possible
,
therefore
I
do
return
what
follows
,
as
an
answer
unto
you
.
Whereas
you
say
,
You
are
not
ignorant
of
the
prejudices
and
prepositions
,
wherewith
the
carnal
World
is
leavened
,
concerning
you
Calling
,
Office
,
and
Doctrines
;
and
what
Clamors
;
and
fiery
Contentions
abound
for
them
every
where
that
pleads
Christ's
Cause
in
the
Gates
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
your
Calling
,
Office
,
and
Doctrine
,
there
is
much
to
be
said
against
them
,
in
and
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
for
your
Calling
and
Office
,
is
not
according
to
the
Example
of
Scriptures
,
though
the
Calling
and
Office
of
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
hath
Example
in
the
Scripture
,
yet
as
you
are
called
into
your
Office
,
that
is
not
according
,
but
rather
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
:
And
as
for
your
Doctrine
,
it
is
in
some
things
unsound
also
.
Now
as
for
Seasonable
Exhortations
of
Ministers
to
People
,
I
do
acknowledge
,
that
it
is
a
Duty
which
ought
to
be
done
,
but
how
seasonable
and
sound
your
Exhortations
are
,
that
remains
to
be
tried
;
and
it
is
not
onely
the
carnal
World
,
as
you
speak
,
that
are
doubtfull
concerning
your
Calling
and
Office
,
but
it
the
best
of
the
people
,
whose
eyes
the
Lord
is
opening
,
to
see
and
behold
the
false
immitations
of
the
Calling
and
Office
of
Ministers
,
as
you
have
stood
for
many
Generations
;
and
it
is
true
,
them
that
pleads
Christs
Cause
,
they
are
cryed
out
upon
,
and
contended
with
,
but
this
fully
belongs
not
to
you
,
though
you
apply
it
to
your selves
,
but
it
pertains
more
to
others
,
for
the
World
speaks
well
of
you
,
as
it
use
to
do
of
false
Prophets
.
And
you
say
,
We
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
in
the
City
of
London
,
do
with
ear●…ess
exhort
the
people
of
this
City
,
to
awaken
,
as
out
of
Sleep
,
and
to
lay
to
heart
,
the
great
dangers
that
threatens
you
,
which
you
represent
under
a
threefold
consideration
.
-
1
The
fear
of
the
return
of
Popery
.
-
2
The
distracted
estate
of
Religion
amongst
us
.
-
3
Other
symptomes
of
Gods
wrath
hanging
over
your
Heads
.
Answ.
That
you
are
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
this
is
doubtful
unto
many
,
and
many
more
testimonies
might
be
given
to
the
contrary
,
then
can
be
given
for
it
.
But
this
is
not
the
present
debate
,
and
therefore
no
more
of
it
.
And
what
,
is
the
people
of
your
Congregations
yet
asleep
?
Have
not
you
awakened
them
in
so
many
years
time
?
Have
you
been
preaching
over
them
,
and
taking
their
Money
so
long
,
and
are
they
yet
to
awaken
,
as
out
of
Sleep
?
Will
not
the
blame
of
this
,
and
the
condemnation
of
it
fall
upon
you
their
Watch-men
,
who
hath
not
yet
awakened
them
?
And
may
not
they
say
that
you
have
dealt
unjustly
by
them
,
who
are
left
as
asleep
under
all
your
preaching
,
and
are
yet
unsensible
of
the
danger
that
threatens
them
?
Oh
Friends
!
will
you
consider
,
and
your
people
with
you
,
what
you
have
been
preaching
,
and
what
they
have
been
hearing
for
so
long
a
time
,
seeing
you
now
acknowledge
they
are
yet
asleep
,
and
unawakened
.
Now
as
to
the
first
of
your
considerations
,
The
fear
of
the
return
of
Popery
,
for
which
you
lay
down
divers
things
to
make
the
people
believe
it
:
First
,
The
union
of
foreign
Popish-Powers
:
Secondly
,
The
vast
numbers
(
say
you
)
of
Popish
Emissaries
and
Jesuites
that
swarms
amongst
you
:
Thirdly
,
The
vending
and
printing
of
so
many
Popish
Books
every
year
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
Popery
,
I
know
it
is
Idolatry
,
and
their
Church
and
Worship
,
and
every
part
thereof
abomination
to
the
Lord
,
and
the
spirit
that
leads
them
is
not
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
;
and
as
for
Popery
,
it
was
never
yet
truly
cleansed
out
of
the
Nation
,
but
there
hath
been
,
and
are
great
remainders
yet
standing
,
which
may
indeed
easily
recover
its
former
strength
:
For
is
not
the
most
part
of
the
worship
of
the
Church
of
England
made
up
of
such
things
,
as
was
first
instituted
and
practised
amongst
the
Papists
,
witness
,
the
making
Ministers
by
natural
learning
,
at
Schools
and
Colledges
,
and
their
maintenance
by
Tythes
,
and
yearly
Stipends
,
and
their
way
of
Parochial
settlements
,
are
not
all
these
things
Papistical
?
and
witness
sprinkling
Infants
,
calling
it
the
Baptism
into
the
Visible
Church
,
and
witness
the
singing
of
Davids
Psalms
,
as
now
they
are
sung
among
you
;
these
things
for
the
most
part
are
of
Popish
institution
,
and
many
other
things
also
pertaining
to
your
Church
,
Religion
,
and
Ministry
,
so
that
Popery
was
never
clean
cast
out
of
the
Nation
,
though
the
Lord
hath
wounded
it
,
yet
there
is
the
remainder
of
it
yet
standing
in
great
force
,
so
that
while
Tythes
are
pleaded
for
by
you
,
and
those
things
practised
by
you
,
it
may
indeed
be
feared
,
the
return
of
Popery
,
seeing
you
stick
so
fast
in
those
Practises
which
were
of
Popish
institution
,
and
the
cause
of
fear
lies
at
your
Door
,
and
upon
your selves
principally
,
and
if
there
be
vast
numbers
of
Popish
Priests
and
Jesuites
swarming
amongst
you
,
if
you
be
Ministers
of
Christ
,
why
do
you
not
discover
Wolves
in
Sheeps
cloathing
,
and
fright
them
away
?
Why
do
you
not
lift
yp
your
Spiritual
Weapons
,
(
if
you
have
them
)
as
the
Apostles
did
?
whose
Weapons
were
powerful
and
mighty
through
God
;
and
who
shall
bear
the
blame
but
you
,
if
Wolves
in
Sheeps
cloathing
tear
your
Flocks
?
that
is
a
sign
you
are
lazy
idle
Shepherds
,
and
that
your
want
the
Power
and
Authority
of
God
,
and
when
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
fails
you
,
and
your
carnal
Weapons
are
all
broken
,
then
you
are
like
to
be
overcome
with
the
swarming
of
Popish
Priests
and
Jesuites
,
if
there
be
any
such
among
you
look
you
to
it
,
for
I
know
not
any
,
and
if
you
know
any
by
name
,
and
where
they
are
,
you
ought
by
your
Law
to
discover
them
.
Now
(
you
say
)
they
are
acting
under
the
disguise
of
Sectaries
,
and
subtilly
insinuating
many
of
their
Doctrines
,
as
teaching
Iustification
by
Inherent
Righteousness
;
Perfection
,
〈◊〉
lawfulness
in
joyning
in
your
Ordinances
,
and
nullity
of
your
Ministry
,
&c.
Answ.
Now
these
that
you
call
Sectaries
,
may
truly
plead
against
you
,
against
your
Church
,
Worship
,
Ministry
&
Practises
,
upon
good
grounds
;
&
as
for
Justification
by
Inherent
Righteousness
,
it
is
a
Doctrine
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
that
the
Saints
witnessed
Christ
,
and
his
Righteousness
within
them
,
and
that
none
are
justified
by
any
righteousness
without
them
,
but
who
witness
Christ
revealed
in
them
;
for
all
are
Reprobate
;
that
do
not
witness
Christ
in
them
,
2
Cor.
13.
5.
And
as
for
Perfection
,
that
is
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
and
of
Christ
;
for
the
Apostles
spake
wisdom
to
them
that
were
perfect
,
1
Cor.
2.
6.
and
Christ
commanded
them
to
be
perfect
,
Mat.
5.
who
never
commanded
impossibilities
.
You
might
better
have
charged
these
Doctrines
upon
the
Apostles
,
then
upon
the
Papists
;
and
as
for
joyning
to
your
Ordinances
,
there
is
many
that
fears
God
who
are
not
Papists
,
that
for
good
conscience
sake
cannot
joyn
to
your
Ordinances
,
nor
own
your
Ministry
,
neither
in
its
Call
,
Practise
,
nor
Maintenance
;
and
if
these
things
were
in
dispute
,
I
should
shew
you
,
according
to
Scripture
,
that
it
is
not
lawful
for
the
Saints
of
God
,
to
joyn
themselves
to
your
Ordinances
,
nor
own
your
Ministry
;
but
it
is
lawful
for
them
both
to
deny
your
Ordinances
and
Ministry
in
their
present
standing
;
and
as
for
printing
and
vending
so
many
Popist
Books
,
as
you
say
;
Oh
it
had
been
your
wisdom
to
have
mentioned
,
the
Books
by
name
,
that
all
might
have
known
which
were
Popish
Books
;
but
because
your
Charge
is
general
,
I
cannot
answer
particularly
,
either
to
clear
or
to
condemn
,
except
you
had
mentioned
in
particular
,
which
you
ought
to
have
done
,
rather
then
to
have
slandered
in
the
dark
.
Your
fourth
reason
,
whereby
you
would
make
your
people
believe
,
that
there
is
fear
of
the
return
of
Popery
,
is
,
That
the
whole
body
almost
of
Popery
is
published
by
Sectaries
,
especially
Quakers
;
and
you
say
,
you
cannot
but
observe
a
ready
co-incidency
with
Papists
in
their
Opinions
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
the
Quakers
,
which
you
have
long
opposed
by
Prisons
,
Goals
,
and
Persecutions
,
and
your
carnal
Weapons
,
and
now
also
charge
great
things
upon
them
,
to
make
them
odious
to
the
people
.
Alas
,
do
you
not
know
that
they
are
blessed
of
the
Lord
?
Is
there
never
a
man
among
you
sixty
one
Priests
,
so
wise
as
Balaam
was
,
he
saw
there
was
no
Inchantment
against
Israel
,
nor
durst
he
curse
whom
God
had
blessed
;
but
however
,
they
have
born
with
patience
(
and
they
do
therein
continue
)
all
that
you
have
caused
to
be
acted
,
and
all
that
you
have
spoken
against
them
,
and
your
words
and
works
against
them
shall
be
your
own
burthen
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
and
shall
sink
you
into
misery
,
who
hath
made
the
innocent
people
,
the
people
of
your
malice
and
fury
;
but
God
is
with
them
,
I
need
say
nothing
:
and
why
have
you
not
particularly
instanced
what
particular
part
of
Popery
they
do
publish
?
Why
will
you
charge
in
secret
,
and
prove
nothing
in
particular
?
therefore
I
do
charge
you
to
mention
,
what
particular
things
they
do
publish
which
is
Popery
,
and
not
the
truths
of
the
Gospel
,
and
then
you
shall
have
a
further
answer
.
Your
fifth
reason
is
,
Jesuitical
designs
,
and
you
mention
the
Protestant
Universities
,
and
the
impoverishing
,
and
disgracing
,
and
overthrowing
a
goodly
learned
Ministry
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
the
Universities
,
thousands
are
satisfied
concerning
them
,
that
they
are
of
Popish
institution
,
and
are
not
the
Fountains
of
Divinity
,
as
they
have
been
falsly
called
;
for
its
possible
I
could
give
large
testimonies
of
the
wickedness
of
the
educations
which
is
there
in
those
places
,
and
how
little
good
they
learn
,
and
how
much
evil
:
but
you
have
stated
the
Cause
wrong
;
for
the
plucking
down
the
Universities
would
rather
seem
to
be
the
removing
part
of
Popery
,
then
to
be
the
way
to
let
in
Popery
:
And
as
for
a
godly
Ministry
,
that
is
truly
godly
,
and
truly
learned
;
alas
!
there
is
no
fear
of
impoverishing
,
disgracing
,
and
overthrowing
of
that
,
for
that
is
alwayes
poor
,
and
low
,
and
contemptible
to
the
World
,
and
so
it
must
be
;
and
it
is
Antichrist's
Ministers
that
fears
to
be
made
poor
,
and
that
their
Tythes
and
Stipends
should
be
made
less
;
and
it
is
they
that
fear
to
be
overthrown
,
and
not
the
Ministers
of
Christ
;
for
the
Ministers
of
Christ
are
out
of
all
such
fears
,
because
their
standing
and
falling
depends
not
upon
earthly
powers
,
but
are
builded
upon
the
Rock
of
Ages
,
and
cannot
be
overthrown
.
Your
sixth
Ground
is
,
Tolleration
for
Popery
is
publickly
pleaded
for
in
Print
,
&c.
Answ.
That
Popery
is
Idolatry
,
and
the
Church
of
Rome
a
false
Church
,
that
I
have
said
,
and
I
hope
shall
never
renounce
it
,
but
shall
alwayes
give
Testimony
,
until
death
,
against
the
Church
of
Rome
;
but
I
must
tell
you
plainly
,
it
is
not
my
judgment
,
that
the
Papists
ought
to
be
burned
for
their
Religion
;
or
if
a
Jesuite
be
taken
in
England
,
I
would
have
him
so
tollerated
,
that
he
should
not
have
his
life
taken
away
by
inhumane
cruelty
,
not
for
Religion
sake
,
except
something
can
be
charged
upon
him
,
besides
matters
of
his
Religion
,
or
Conscience
:
This
is
my
judgment
,
that
both
the
Papists
and
you
are
Antichristian
(
in
this
)
in
that
you
kill
each
other
,
when
they
take
one
of
your
Ministers
,
and
you
theirs
,
to
destroy
each
other
;
this
is
not
of
God
,
but
of
the
Dragon's
power
in
both
,
and
there
ought
to
be
more
tolleration
in
both
,
that
lives
may
be
spared
;
and
you
ought
to
conquer
with
spiritual
Weapons
,
if
that
you
have
them
,
and
not
to
kill
and
murder
persons
,
but
to
judge
Spirits
.
That
is
contrary
to
Scripture
,
and
the
Apostles
Example
,
to
destroy
mens
lives
for
Religion
sake
:
And
why
may
not
the
Papists
have
tolleration
,
in
matters
concerning
God
,
as
well
as
others
?
So
those
that
plead
for
their
Tolleration
upon
this
account
,
that
they
may
be
converted
from
sin
,
and
not
destroyed
in
their
sin
,
this
is
no
Error
,
that
their
lives
may
be
spared
;
but
to
plead
for
their
tolleration
,
as
the
right
Religion
,
this
is
sin
.
And
thus
your
sixth
Ground
,
wherefore
you
fear
the
return
of
Popery
is
answered
.
Now
I
come
to
the
second
consideration
,
which
is
,
The
present
distracted
estate
of
Religion
,
which
you
say
is
evidenced
in
divers
particulars
:
First
,
your
division
in
civil
and
spiritual
things
,
so
that
the
wonted
love
and
communion
in
holy
Duties
is
interrupted
,
strangeness
and
distances
fomented
,
censures
and
hard
Opinions
of
each
others
entertained
,
&c.
Answ.
Here
is
your
Error
,
for
true
Religion
is
not
distracted
nor
divided
in
it self
,
but
it
is
one
in
unity
and
peace
,
and
so
are
all
they
that
are
in
it
,
their
hearts
being
united
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
in
their
Faith
,
Practice
,
and
Worship
,
and
in
all
things
pertaining
to
their
Religion
:
It
s
true
,
there
is
distraction
amongst
all
the
false
Sects
and
Churches
upon
the
Earth
,
and
it
must
be
so
,
Babylon
is
divided
,
and
confounded
in
it self
,
and
one
part
of
it
against
another
;
so
the
distractions
is
amongst
your selves
,
among
Papists
,
Prelates
,
Prefbyters
,
and
the
rest
,
tearing
and
rending
one
another
about
Church-Worship
and
Religion
;
all
like
Wolves
in
Sheep's
clothing
,
biting
one
another
,
being
divided
in
civil
and
spiritual
things
;
one
crying
for
this
,
and
another
for
the
other
way
of
Government
in
Church
and
State
;
and
you
are
out
of
the
true
love
,
and
true
communion
in
holy
Duties
,
and
interrupts
one
another
;
and
what
one
faith
is
right
,
another
saith
is
wrong
:
and
all
this
is
in
Babylon
,
among
your selves
,
and
none
of
it
among
them
that
are
in
the
true
Religion
,
and
in
true
Church-Union
,
who
are
gathered
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
.
Your
second
Evidence
of
the
distracted
estate
of
Religion
(
as
you
say
)
is
,
the
many
horrid
and
hideous
Errors
,
which
for
some
years
past
have
abounded
amongst
us
,
against
the
Authority
of
Scriptures
,
the
Deity
of
Christ
,
the
holy
Ghost
,
Trinity
of
Persons
,
Immortallity
of
Souls
,
Doctrines
of
Repentance
,
Humiliation
,
Sanctification
,
Resurrection
from
the
Dead
,
the
Eternal
recompence
of
Heaven
and
Hell
;
yea
,
divers
Sects
encreasing
every
day
in
numbers
,
power
,
and
malice
,
and
under
the
name
of
Quakers
,
Ranters
,
Seekers
,
&c.
opp●gning
the
received
Doctrine
,
and
unquestionable
interest
of
Christ
Iesus
amongst
us
.
Answ.
That
many
horrid
Errors
have
abounded
amongst
you
,
that
is
very
true
,
as
in
many
particulars
might
be
instanced
:
But
why
do
you
maliciously
charge
the
Quakers
with
opposing
the
Interest
of
Christ
Jesus
?
The
Lord
shall
judge
you
in
his
Day
,
when
he
makes
it
appear
to
all
the
World
,
that
those
whom
you
charge
with
the
contrary
,
are
the
very
Friends
of
Christ's
Interest
,
and
have
been
patient
Sufferrers
for
his
Name
sake
,
under
the
wickedness
of
your
Generation
;
and
as
for
the
Ranters
,
Seekers
,
and
others
,
whom
you
have
reckoned
up
together
with
the
Quakers
,
it
is
well
known
that
we
are
in
opposition
in
spirit
unto
all
these
,
and
have
given
large
testimony
in
the
Fear
of
God
against
them
;
though
it
is
certain
,
that
there
is
many
as
upright
and
sincere
men
towards
God
among
these
Sects
you
have
mentioned
,
as
any
of
your
Congregations
;
and
though
in
some
things
they
are
condemnable
,
yet
in
some
things
they
are
as
justifiable
as
you
are
,
before
the
Lord
:
And
what
the
Seekers
,
Ranters
,
Familists
,
and
the
rest
mentioned
by
you
do
hold
,
as
in
these
things
you
have
charged
them
with
,
I
will
leave
that
,
for
I
am
not
now
pleading
their
cause
,
but
the
Cause
of
God
and
his
People
,
whom
you
in
scorn
call
Quakers
:
and
though
you
have
joyned
them
in
Accusation
with
others
,
yet
I
must
separate
them
from
others
in
my
Answer
,
and
must
tell
you
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
that
you
have
belyed
them
,
and
falsly
accused
them
,
out
of
your
malicious
hearts
;
for
they
do
not
deny
the
Authority
of
the
Scriptures
,
but
gives
that
authority
to
them
,
which
the
Spirit
of
God
that
gave
them
forth
hath
formerly
given
;
neither
do
they
deny
the
Deity
of
Christ
,
but
do
say
,
In
him
dwelleth
the
fulness
of
the
Godhead
;
neither
do
they
deny
the
holy
Spirit
,
nor
the
Father
,
Son
and
Spirit
,
but
say
there
are
three
,
and
these
three
are
one
;
but
as
for
your
Trinity
of
Persons
,
that
is
language
beside
the
the
Scriptures
:
and
we
do
affirm
the
Soul
is
Immortal
:
and
as
for
the
Doctrines
of
Repentance
,
Humiliation
,
Sanctification
,
Resurrection
from
the
Dead
,
the
eternal
Recompence
of
Heaven
and
Hell
;
these
Doctrines
are
publickly
held
forth
by
them
in
words
,
and
also
in
practice
,
more
then
by
your selves
▪
therefore
with
what
face
you
could
charge
them
with
the
denial
of
these
things
,
it
is
almost
wonderfull
;
and
there
are
thousands
of
your
Congregations
that
are
and
have
been
sometimes
hearing
in
your
City
,
that
shall
bear
witness
against
your
Accusations
,
and
give
Evidence
that
they
have
heard
them
whom
you
call
Quakers
,
give
faithfull
witness
of
,
and
for
all
these
things
which
you
charge
them
with
denial
of
:
Do
you
think
that
your
Congregations
are
all
so
blind
as
to
receive
for
truth
what
you
have
herein
spoken
;
nay
I
must
tell
you
,
some
of
them
are
offended
with
you
because
hereof
.
First
,
in
that
you
have
reckoned
the
Quakers
with
Ranters
,
and
others
,
between
whom
there
is
absolute
opposition
,
and
not
agreement
,
neither
in
Doctrine
nor
Practice
.
Secondly
,
That
you
should
charge
the
Quakers
with
such
things
as
they
are
altogether
clear
of
,
and
known
to
be
so
by
many
;
but
this
is
,
that
your
folly
and
weakness
might
appear
;
and
as
you
speak
of
encreasing
every
day
in
number
power
,
and
malice
,
some
part
of
this
is
true
;
for
the
Lord
doth
encrease
his
People
daily
in
number
and
power
,
by
his
Spirit
,
but
not
in
Malice
,
and
that
is
your
torment
,
the
encrease
of
the
Quakers
,
which
as
they
have
begun
to
encrease
,
so
the
Lord
will
continue
them
,
and
you
,
nor
mortal
men
shall
not
be
able
to
hinder
;
neither
the
Magistrates
Persecution
,
nor
the
Ministers
Instigation
thereunto
,
though
you
have
joyned
hand
in
hand
against
them
;
for
the
Lord
is
with
his
People
,
and
his
Authority
and
Power
is
thei●
Defence
,
and
they
are
not
in
empty
Forms
(
as
you
say
)
but
in
the
Power
of
Godliness
;
and
as
for
your
Ordinances
and
Ministry
,
of
which
you
speak
,
something
I
have
said
to
it
already
,
and
more
I
shall
say
to
it
hereafter
.
Your
third
Evidence
is
,
The
odious
Scandals
of
those
that
profess
themselves
to
be
the
People
of
God
,
as
their
self-seeking
,
their
unparallell'd
breach
of
all
civil
and
sacred
Oathes
;
whereby
the
Mouth
of
Iniquity
is
opened
,
and
the
reverence
of
Religion
abated
,
so
that
to
us
(
say
you
)
there
appears
no
visible
way
of
repairing
the
credit
of
strict
profession
,
but
by
a
severe
punishment
of
Professors
,
&c.
Answ.
It
is
true
,
many
that
do
profess
themselves
the
people
of
God
,
but
are
not
,
but
by
their
lives
and
practices
gives
odious
Scandals
,
and
are
Self-seeking
,
as
you
say
;
but
upon
whom
the
guilt
of
this
may
be
truly
charged
,
that
remains
to
be
sought
out
;
doubtless
it
lies
as
near
your
doors
as
any
others
;
for
is
not
your
pride
and
oppression
by
taking
Tythes
,
suing
people
at
Law
for
Wages
,
and
casting
them
in
Prison
,
because
for
good
Conscience
sake
they
cannot
pay
you
,
your
seeking
for
your
gain
from
your
Quarter
,
and
your
taking
great
sums
of
Money
,
and
preaching
for
hire
,
taking
so
much
yearly
,
are
not
these
odious
scandals
,
and
very
self-seeking
practices
which
you
are
guilty
of
,
while
you
pretend
publick
good
?
as
for
Breaches
of
Oaths
and
Covenants
,
I
wish
you
to
search
your
own
hearts
,
for
that
Iniquity
doth
lie
as
near
your
Generation
as
any
others
;
witness
that
you
and
your
Brethren
have
from
time
to
time
engaged
to
such
and
such
things
:
As
first
,
Did
not
you
engage
for
the
Government
to
be
without
King
and
House
of
Lords
?
And
did
not
you
then
cry
up
the
Protector
,
contrary
to
your
Engagements
,
and
now
cry
up
another
?
And
thus
it
is
very
evident
,
that
the
guilt
of
breach
of
Oathes
and
Covenants
lies
near
unto
your selves
,
which
indeed
opens
the
Mouth
of
Iniquity
;
for
the
very
Cavaliers
and
Prelates
say
,
you
were
once
strict
in
your
Way
,
but
now
you
have
struck
hands
with
them
,
and
are
now
your selves
doing
that
which
you
cried
out
against
in
them
:
And
thousands
in
this
Nation
is
abated
in
their
affections
from
your
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
as
knowing
them
to
be
upon
a
false
Foundation
,
and
to
be
of
Babylon
,
and
not
of
the
Heavenly
Ierusalem
:
And
what
do
you
mean
by
severe
punishment
of
Professors
?
Do
you
mean
to
set
up
Ecclesiastical
Laws
again
,
and
that
all
must
be
forced
to
your
Church
,
Way
,
and
Religion
?
Is
it
in
your
hearts
to
drive
the
Nation
by
force
;
and
if
they
will
not
,
to
punish
them
with
Fire
and
Fagot
,
and
Prisons
?
If
this
be
your
meaning
,
as
may
justly
be
supposed
it
is
,
the
Lord
deliver
the
Nation
from
you
;
this
is
not
the
way
to
gain
the
credit
of
Religion
,
but
the
further
you
go
on
in
this
way
,
as
you
have
formerly
walked
in
,
the
more
will
your
Profession
and
Religion
stink
in
the
Nostrils
of
all
good
men
▪
Your
fourth
Evidence
is
,
Immensity
and
bounless
liberty
permitted
,
assumed
,
and
freely
practised
by
many
,
to
Write
,
Print
,
and
Publish
all
manner
of
Blasphemies
and
Opinions
,
&c.
the
sad
and
wofull
effects
thereof
appears
in
many
,
some
being
in
Apostacy
,
others
in
luke-warmness
,
and
much
decay
in
the
Power
of
godliness
,
&c.
Answ.
As
I
have
acknowledged
〈◊〉
there
are
without
doubt
many
Errors
,
Blasphemies
,
and
false
Opinions
extant
in
this
Nation
,
both
Written
,
Published
,
and
Maintained
,
but
upon
whom
,
and
what
sort
of
men
this
can
truely
be
charged
,
this
is
very
doubtfull
to
many
;
and
your
Charge
being
onely
general
,
no
particular
Answer
can
well
be
given
,
onely
it
appears
,
you
would
have
none
to
Write
,
Print
or
Publish
,
but
your selves
,
or
by
your
consent
;
and
you
would
tye
the
Nation
up
in
the
bondage
of
your
own
Spirits
;
and
you
would
be
the
onely
Judges
of
Blasphemies
and
Errors
;
but
that
we
allow
not
;
for
Enemies
must
not
be
Judges
;
and
it
is
very
possible
such
is
your
Darkness
,
that
you
may
call
Truth
Error
,
and
Error
Truth
in
some
particulars
;
but
if
you
shall
instance
any
particular
Doctrines
,
Blasphemies
,
Errors
,
and
Opinions
,
published
and
maintained
,
in
my
next
I
shall
freely
give
my
witness
,
against
them
,
if
they
be
really
so
,
and
against
the
people
that
holds
them
,
as
well
as
your selves
,
and
more
particularly
I
cannot
now
say
;
and
there
is
indeed
wofull
and
sad
effects
of
Errors
brought
forth
in
this
Nation
,
and
many
are
in
the
Apostacy
from
the
truth
,
and
in
the
luke-warmness
also
,
and
the
power
of
Godliness
is
decayed
,
and
they
have
the
Form
,
and
holds
that
without
the
Power
:
your selves
may
do
well
,
and
your
Congregations
also
,
to
search
your
own
hearts
,
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
in
this
case
,
that
the
guilty
may
see
,
and
turn
unto
the
Lord
,
that
his
wrath
come
not
upon
them
.
Your
fifth
Evidence
is
,
Sabbath
Prophanation
,
both
in
Opinion
and
Practice
,
grown
to
a
greater
height
than
ever
formerly
;
the
Iews
Sabbath
cryed
up
,
instead
of
the
Christian
;
Shops
opened
upon
the
Lords
day
;
yea
,
some
working
the
works
of
their
ordinary
callings
,
in
knitting
,
and
sowing
of
Garments
in
our
Assemblies
,
even
in
the
Pulpits
,
in
the
time
of
Gods
publick
Worship
,
&c.
Answ.
This
remains
doubtful
to
many
,
what
the
true
Sabbath
is
,
and
whether
the
Lord
doth
require
of
this
Generation
the
observing
one
day
above
another
,
and
if
so
,
what
day
it
is
that
he
requires
the
observing
of
;
as
for
the
7th
day
of
the
week
,
we
know
that
the
Lord
commanded
the
Iewes
to
keep
as
a
Sabbath
,
and
to
rest
,
But
that
was
never
commanded
to
the
Gentiles
;
and
as
for
the
first
day
of
the
week
,
which
is
called
the
Christians
Sabbath
,
that
is
doubtful
to
many
,
whether
God
commands
and
requires
the
observation
of
that
day
by
the
Gentile
believers
,
yea
,
or
nay
,
seeing
that
there
is
neither
command
nor
binding
example
for
it
,
throughout
the
Scriptures
;
if
there
be
,
any
I
do
desire
that
you
would
shew
it
in
your
next
;
and
by
what
authority
,
whether
from
men
,
or
from
Heaven
,
the
first
day
of
the
week
is
now
kept
by
you
,
as
your
Sabbath
;
for
really
many
are
doubtful
in
this
case
,
and
you
would
do
very
well
,
if
you
have
a
command
from
God
,
or
example
from
his
Servants
in
former
Ages
,
to
discover
so
much
unto
the
people
;
And
as
for
your
calling
it
the
Lords-day
,
it
is
certain
every
day
is
his
,
and
not
one
day
more
then
another
;
and
as
for
Shops
opening
,
and
such
things
as
you
mention
,
though
every
one
that
do
such
things
,
may
not
be
justified
in
the
doing
of
it
,
yet
such
a
thing
in
it self
may
be
justified
,
if
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
moves
unto
it
,
and
who
shall
limit
the
Lord
?
And
why
may
not
others
labour
in
their
ordinary
callings
that
day
,
as
well
as
you
in
your
ordinary
callings
?
I
mean
,
your
ordinary
calling
of
preaching
;
that
is
an
ordinary
calling
,
it
is
certain
,
because
you
deny
any
extrordinary
calling
in
these
days
,
and
so
I
only
query
this
,
why
others
may
not
follow
their
ordinary
callings
as
well
as
you
?
for
it
hath
been
affirmed
very
lately
by
some
,
that
preaching
was
a
trade
and
a
function
for
men
to
get
a
living
by
,
and
we
do
not
question
but
there
are
many
now
in
this
Nation
,
called
Ministers
,
that
do
preach
for
that
end
,
and
would
cease
to
preach
,
if
Mony
and
Tithes
were
ceased
to
be
given
them
:
I
speak
this
of
some
,
not
of
all
,
which
doth
demonstrate
,
that
the
way
of
your
preaching
,
is
an
ordinary
calling
;
which
you
labour
in
,
on
your
Sabbath-day
.
Your
sixth
Evidence
,
is
the
pouring
out
by
many
,
of
a●●
Sects
,
with
a
full
mouth
,
all
manner
of
obloquy
and
contempt
upon
Ministry
,
and
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
openly
interrupting
them
in
the
exercise
of
their
Duty
,
whereby
they
are
discouraged
in
their
Work
,
while
they
are
represented
under
the
notion
of
Baals
Priests
,
Gehazaes
,
Pulpited
Divines
,
distributers
of
Sundayes
Doles
,
Simonions
,
Decimating
Clergy
,
common
Incendiaries
,
&c.
Answ.
It
is
certain
,
that
the
true
Ministry
,
and
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
were
in
all
Ages
,
and
now
are
contemned
and
despised
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
spoken
against
them
for
the
Name
of
Christ
:
but
whether
you
are
those
true
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
and
your
Ministry
the
true
Ministry
sent
of
Christ
,
this
is
doubtful
to
many
;
and
by
many
particulars
which
might
be
instanced
,
the
contrary
doth
appear
:
The
Ministers
of
Christ
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
they
never
complained
of
being
interrupted
;
for
they
were
haled
before
Rulers
,
and
commanded
to
preach
no
more
in
that
Name
,
and
yet
they
were
not
discouraged
thereby
in
their
work
;
nor
when
they
were
called
Movers
of
Sedition
,
and
Deceivers
,
and
such
reproachfull
names
,
they
regarded
not
these
things
:
but
as
for
you
,
you
seem
to
be
troubled
that
any
should
speak
to
you
,
or
ask
you
〈◊〉
Question
,
or
exhort
you
to
repent
,
if
any
out
of
good
Conscience
query
with
you
,
concerning
your
Practice
and
Doctrine
,
and
if
any
exhort
to
Good
,
and
cry
against
Evil
amongst
you
,
this
you
call
interrupting
of
you
in
your
Ministerial
Duty
,
and
to
Prison
,
Houses
of
Correction
,
and
to
Whips
and
Stocks
must
such
go
,
which
was
never
the
Apostles
Practice
,
never
was
any
sent
to
Prison
for
opposing
of
them
.
And
what
if
the
Ministers
of
England
be
called
Hirelings
,
and
false
Prophets
,
and
greedy
dumb
Dogs
?
the
practice
of
some
of
them
doth
prove
it
that
they
are
so
;
these
things
you
must
bear
,
as
coming
deservedly
,
and
not
unjustly
upon
you
;
for
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
in
all
Ages
ever
cried
against
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
,
and
called
them
Deceivers
,
and
greedy
dumb
Dogs
,
and
Serpents
,
and
Vipers
,
and
Evil
Beasts
,
and
Slow-Bellies
;
these
names
and
tearms
did
Christ
,
the
Apostles
and
Prophets
use
unto
such
,
as
are
some
of
the
Ministry
of
this
Nation
,
and
not
with
Revilings
and
Reproachings
,
but
with
the
Spirit
of
Authority
from
God
,
that
reproves
the
Wickedness
of
Prophets
,
Teachers
and
People
:
And
tell
me
,
Have
not
some
of
you
sued
men
at
Law
,
and
cast
them
into
Prison
in
this
City
,
because
they
would
not
give
you
Money
,
and
Tythes
and
Hire
,
though
such
as
have
not
heard
you
,
nor
receiv'd
you
as
Ministers
,
nor
received
any
thing
from
you
,
and
such
as
you
did
never
any
Work
for
,
have
you
sought
Wages
from
,
and
caused
them
to
be
imprisoned
that
would
not
give
you
?
And
tell
me
in
good
earnest
,
Can
any
less
be
said
of
such
,
who
thus
walk
,
but
that
they
are
insatiable
Hirelings
,
and
as
bad
as
Beal's
Priests
,
and
even
Cheaters
,
and
greedy
dumb
Dogs
?
let
the
Witness
in
your
own
Consciences
answer
,
and
you
shall
have
a
Reply
.
Now
I
come
to
your
third
Particular
,
which
are
other
Causes
and
Symptoms
of
God's
Wrath
hanging
over
your
heads
;
the
frequent
disappointment
from
time
to
time
of
all
Hopes
of
coming
to
any
settlement
in
Government
in
the
Nation
,
occasioned
by
strange
Confusions
,
which
is
a
clear
Evidence
that
God
hath
in
Displeasure
darkened
our
Eyes
,
and
hid
Counsel
from
us
(
say
you
.
)
Answ.
It
is
very
true
,
that
from
time
to
time
of
late
dayes
the
Lord
hath
disappointed
the
purposes
of
men
,
even
concerning
settling
of
Government
,
and
there
have
been
almost
strange
Confusions
in
Changes
;
But
to
what
can
this
be
attributed
?
Have
not
your
sins
been
as
great
a
Cause
of
it
,
as
any
others
?
And
have
not
you
and
your
Generation
been
the
Counsellors
in
all
these
Matters
?
Were
not
some
of
you
,
or
your
Brethren
,
in
Oliver's
dayes
,
and
in
Richard's
dayes
,
and
in
the
Army's
dayes
,
and
in
the
Parliaments
dayes
,
and
are
not
you
and
your
Brethren
busie
at
this
day
in
ordering
a
Settlement
in
Government
in
this
Nation
?
But
the
Lord
hath
hitherto
disappointed
you
,
and
them
that
you
have
counselled
,
and
he
hath
broken
you
into
Confusion
and
Distraction
,
and
turned
back
even
the
proceedings
of
Rulers
and
Teachers
;
and
the
spirit
of
deep
Sleep
and
of
Slumber
is
poured
upon
you
all
,
and
the
Vision
of
these
things
is
as
a
sealed
Book
unto
you
,
even
because
of
God's
displeasure
against
you
.
And
in
that
you
say
,
Your
Eyes
are
darkened
,
and
Counsel
is
hid
from
you
:
In
that
you
say
true
,
though
to
your
own
shame
,
And
what
trust
can
be
put
in
such
Watchmen
?
What
Confidence
can
be
placed
by
your
people
in
you
,
whenas
you
acknowledge
,
that
your
Eyes
are
darkened
,
and
Counsel
is
hid
from
you
?
The
Scriptures
mentioned
by
you
do
prove
there
was
darkness
upon
the
Land
;
but
Isaiah
doth
not
say
,
nor
David
,
that
Counsel
was
hid
from
them
,
or
that
their
Eyes
were
darkened
,
neither
did
ever
the
Apostles
say
so
;
but
witnessed
,
That
the
Lord
was
their
Light
,
and
in
him
their
Eyes
were
opened
,
and
Counsel
was
revealed
to
them
.
Secondly
,
you
say
,
This
sadly
presages
of
Unchurching
the
Nation
,
or
the
Departing
of
the
Glory
of
God
from
you
.
Answ.
By
Unchurching
the
Nation
I
suppose
you
mean
,
making
the
Church
no
Church
;
which
if
this
can
be
done
,
then
the
Gates
of
Hell
may
prevail
against
the
Church
,
contrary
to
the
words
of
Christ
,
who
said
,
The
Gates
of
H●●
should
not
prevail
:
But
I
must
tell
you
,
The
Nation
of
England
,
as
to
the
general
part
of
it
,
hath
been
long
,
and
yet
is
unchurched
,
that
is
,
ungathered
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
into
the
true
Fellowship
in
the
Body
of
Christ
;
for
the
Night
of
Apostacy
and
Darkness
hath
been
over
the
World
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
over
this
Nation
in
particular
,
and
your
Churches
have
been
no
true
Churches
,
nor
the
people
under
your
Ministry
truly
joyned
and
united
in
true
Church-Order
,
and
under
true
Church-Government
;
though
I
do
not
say
but
that
there
are
Thousands
of
sincere
People
,
that
love
the
Lord
,
yet
remaining
among
you
:
And
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
appearing
,
which
will
confound
the
Whore
,
the
false
Church
,
which
hath
been
set
up
in
this
Nation
,
and
through
the
World
;
and
Assemblies
,
which
have
had
the
Name
of
the
Churches
of
Christ
,
will
be
found
to
be
otherwise
in
the
Judgment
of
the
Lord
;
and
all
the
false
Ordinances
,
Practices
and
Ministers
must
be
thrown
down
,
that
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
may
again
appear
.
Further
,
You
seem
to
charge
your selves
,
With
leaving
your
first
Love
and
former
Zeal
for
the
Truth
and
worship
of
God
,
but
the
present
Coldness
and
Indifferency
in
the
things
of
God
,
together
with
your
Barrenness
and
unanswerable
walking
to
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
&c.
(
say
you
.
)
Answ.
Though
to
your
own
shame
,
yet
do
I
believe
this
is
truly
acknowledged
,
that
you
have
lost
your
first
Love
and
Zeal
which
once
was
in
you
,
in
the
dayes
when
you
were
persecuted
under
the
Bishops
,
you
were
full
of
Love
and
Zeal
for
the
Truth
and
Worship
of
God
,
according
as
it
was
made
manifest
;
and
then
you
were
sufferers
your selves
,
but
now
you
are
Causers
of
others
to
suffer
;
and
there
is
indeed
much
Coldness
,
and
Dryness
and
Barrenness
amongst
you
,
and
your
People
;
I
do
truly
desire
you
may
repent
you
thereof
,
that
if
so
be
the
Lord
may
heal
you
:
and
your
Walking
indeed
is
Unanswerable
to
the
Gospel
of
Christ
(
to
wit
)
Your
taking
of
Tythes
,
and
so
much
by
the
year
for
Preaching
,
and
suing
people
at
the
Law
that
will
not
give
you
Wages
,
though
you
do
no
Work
for
them
;
these
,
with
many
other
things
which
you
practice
,
is
an
unanswerable
Walking
to
the
Gospel
of
Christ
;
and
seeing
you
have
confessed
your
sins
in
some
measure
,
Repent
,
and
sin
no
more
,
that
your
Iniquities
may
be
blotted
out
.
Again
,
You
complain
of
the
prevalency
of
Atheism
,
and
doting
upon
Error
,
Endless
separations
,
Common
Ignorance
,
Unbelief
,
Prophaneness
,
the
Prejudice
against
wholsom
Doctrine
,
and
all
Order
of
Discipline
in
the
Church
,
and
many
other
Confusions
are
upon
us
,
&c.
(
say
you
.
)
Answ.
Alas
!
so
it
is
;
but
where
is
the
Blame
?
Oh
you
Watch-men
!
should
not
you
have
better
preserved
your
Flocks
?
should
not
you
have
fed
them
with
Living
Food
?
should
not
you
have
been
Examples
of
Righteousness
and
Truth
unto
them
?
and
should
not
you
have
nourished
them
with
Knowledge
and
Understanding
?
But
because
the
Shepherds
have
been
lazy
and
idle
,
and
fed
themselves
,
and
not
their
Flocks
;
but
the
Shepherds
have
rul'd
over
their
Flocks
with
Force
and
Cruelty
,
and
their
Ministry
and
Preaching
hath
been
a
very
Burden
and
Oppression
upon
the
People
,
and
therefore
it
is
that
their
Flocks
are
divided
into
many
Sects
and
Separations
,
and
great
Confusions
are
in
your
Assemblies
,
and
among
you
,
even
the
sin
of
the
people
in
some
measure
will
be
charged
upon
you
their
Teachers
,
whose
Flocks
are
run
into
Errors
and
Atheisms
,
and
despise
wholesome
Doctrine
,
and
are
out
of
true
Order
and
Church-Discipline
,
even
in
the
Traditions
of
Men
:
Therefore
,
oh
that
you
Ministers
would
consider
!
and
that
you
would
learn
more
Wisdom
,
and
that
your
people
would
come
to
receive
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
into
their
Hearts
,
whereby
they
may
be
led
into
all
Truth
,
and
into
the
Covenant
of
God
,
where
there
is
no
Unbelief
,
Ignorance
,
Prophaneness
nor
Confusion
;
but
Peace
,
Love
and
Unity
altogether
;
and
if
you
and
they
did
come
into
this
,
you
might
be
happy
,
and
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
would
be
removed
.
Now
I
come
to
some
Particulars
,
which
you
do
promise
for
your selves
;
First
,
That
you
will
use
all
holy
Endeavours
to
keep
Cod
and
his
Truth
among
you
.
Secondly
,
That
you
will
be
more
diligent
in
watching
over
your
Flocks
.
Thirdly
,
That
you
shall
endeavour
the
Establishment
of
your
Congregations
against
Popish
Delusions
.
To
all
which
I
Answer
,
You
must
first
make
clean
your
own
hearts
,
and
you
must
first
Repent
of
your
own
Iniquities
,
before
you
can
heal
others
;
and
you
must
first
learn
Obedience
to
God
in
your
own
hearts
,
before
you
can
truly
instruct
others
therein
:
And
indeed
,
there
is
need
enough
for
you
to
mourn
before
the
Lord
,
and
to
fast
,
and
to
confess
your
Sins
(
as
you
say
)
for
the
Lord
has
been
long
departed
from
you
,
and
his
Presence
from
your
Assemblies
,
and
that
is
the
Cause
of
Deadness
and
Dryness
and
Barrenness
among
the
people
,
because
God's
Presence
is
wanting
among
you
;
and
you
had
indeed
need
to
be
more
diligent
in
watching
over
your
Flocks
;
for
you
have
been
negligent
therein
,
and
have
fed
your selves
,
and
not
them
;
and
you
have
sought
theirs
,
and
not
them
,
it
s
partly
evident
,
and
it
is
time
for
you
now
to
amend
,
and
to
put
away
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
:
but
first
,
before
you
dispence
the
Word
to
others
,
you
must
feel
the
Word
in
your
own
Hearts
,
to
be
as
a
Fire
and
as
a
Hammer
in
you
;
and
you
must
know
another
Foundation
for
Ministers
than
you
have
long
stood
upon
,
even
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
must
be
your
Foundation
;
and
you
must
cease
to
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
to
Divine
for
Money
,
and
then
should
it
be
better
with
you
,
and
your
Flocks
would
have
comfort
in
you
,
if
you
had
received
freely
from
the
Lord
,
and
ministred
freely
to
them
;
but
while
you
do
it
for
Ends
to
your selves
,
they
can
have
no
good
Hopes
nor
Confidence
in
you
.
And
whereas
you
exhort
your
Congregations
in
divers
Particulars
:
First
,
To
take
heed
of
false
Teachers
,
trying
their
spirits
,
and
holding
fast
that
which
is
good
,
especially
to
beware
of
Popish
Insinuations
,
&c.
(
say
you

Ans.
Your
Exhortation
is
good
in
it self
;
but
you
should
have
demonstrated
more
plainly
how
false
Teachers
should
be
known
,
comparing
their
Fruits
now
with
what
they
were
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
when
the
Scriptures
were
written
;
and
that
had
been
a
good
way
to
have
discovered
false
Teachers
:
That
Mat.
16.
mentioned
by
you
,
bids
them
beware
of
the
Leaven
of
the
Pharisees
;
and
Christ
said
,
They
were
such
as
were
called
of
men
Master
,
stood
Praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
loved
uppermost
Rooms
at
Feasts
,
went
in
long
Robes
;
and
of
such
Christ
bids
beware
,
and
of
such
now
the
People
in
London
are
to
beware
,
where-ever
they
are
;
for
such
as
do
these
things
are
in
the
steps
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
which
Christ
cryed
Wo
against
:
and
the
true
Prophets
cryed
against
such
in
their
days
as
preached
for
Hire
,
and
that
sought
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
;
and
such
you
ought
to
cry
against
now
,
as
seek
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
except
the
guilt
of
these
things
in
your selves
stops
your
Mouthes
from
crying
against
them
in
others
:
and
the
Apostles
cryed
against
such
as
went
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
such
as
taught
for
Filthy
Lucre
,
and
such
as
made
Merchandize
of
People
for
Gain
for
themselves
;
such
the
Apostles
and
Christ
declared
against
,
and
such
you
ought
to
declare
against
:
But
the
People
of
your
Congregations
may
say
,
Who
are
such
now
?
and
,
Where
are
they
?
That
I
leave
to
their
Consciences
to
judge
,
who
they
be
,
and
where
they
are
now
,
and
whether
there
be
any
of
them
in
this
City
now
,
and
in
the
Nation
,
that
are
called
of
men
Master
,
and
love
uppermost
Rooms
at
Feasts
,
and
that
preach
for
Hire
and
Money
,
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
seek
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
teach
for
filthy
Lucre
and
Gain
;
who
are
found
in
these
things
now
,
such
are
false
Teachers
,
who
ought
to
be
taken
heed
of
:
I
shall
not
now
say
,
it
is
any
of
you
;
but
I
shall
leave
it
to
you
,
and
to
your
Peoples
Consciences
,
to
whom
your
Exhortation
is
.
And
as
I
have
said
before
,
let
all
Popish
Inventions
and
Popery
be
first
cast
out
of
this
Nation
,
and
then
,
if
you
joyn
with
us
against
it
,
through
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
we
will
endeavour
the
keeping
of
it
out
,
and
that
it
shall
no
more
enter
in
amongst
us
into
this
Nation
.
And
you
say
,
That
your
Knowledge
here
,
and
all
other
Graces
here
are
imperfect
.
To
which
I
say
,
Then
you
are
imperfect
Saints
,
imperfect
Ministers
;
But
what
do
you
mean
by
here
?
I
suppose
that
you
mean
upon
Earth
:
Now
there
are
none
of
the
Graces
of
God
that
are
imperfect
;
but
the
Grace
of
God
is
perfect
in
it self
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
is
perfect
,
and
every
Gift
of
God
is
perfect
,
as
say
the
Scriptures
.
Now
that
you
should
say
the
Graces
of
God
are
imperfect
,
this
is
Error
,
even
abominable
Error
,
and
you
shew
unsoundness
in
Judgment
even
in
the
things
of
God
,
and
hath
belyed
the
Graces
and
Gift
of
God
,
which
in
their
measure
are
perfect
.
And
thus
I
have
looked
over
your
Exhortation
,
and
thus
I
have
returned
to
you
again
,
not
but
that
I
know
it
is
the
Duty
of
Christ's
Ministers
to
exhort
their
Flocks
,
and
that
Exhortation
in
it self
is
good
;
but
when
I
find
where
Lyes
and
false
Accusations
are
against
the
Quakers
,
whom
I
dearly
love
and
own
,
upon
that
account
,
and
not
otherwise
have
I
engaged
with
you
;
and
what
I
have
done
,
it
is
not
rendring
Evil
for
Evil
;
but
rather
to
reprove
your
Evil
,
and
to
undeceive
your
Congregations
,
who
might
otherwise
take
all
for
true
that
you
have
said
,
if
it
were
not
reproved
.
Again
,
You
exhort
your
Congregations
,
That
they
manifest
Sincerity
,
not
only
by
hatred
of
Error
,
but
by
a
Love
of
the
Truth
,
&c.
Answ.
Sincerity
of
Heart
is
indeed
precious
,
especially
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
the
rule
of
Judgment
,
and
doth
mannage
that
Sincerity
;
but
where
a
false
spirit
rules
in
the
Judgment
,
the
Sincerity
is
often
betrayed
into
a
Zeal
against
the
Truth
,
and
against
the
Wayes
of
the
Lord
,
rather
than
otherwise
:
and
thus
it
was
with
the
Iews
,
whose
Sincerity
(
through
their
Error
of
Judgment
)
was
turned
into
Zeal
and
Bitterness
against
Christ
:
And
thus
it
is
to
be
feared
it
is
with
many
in
your
Congregations
,
who
may
have
a
Zeal
without
Knowledge
,
and
be
short
of
true
Discerning
between
what
is
Truth
and
what
is
Error
;
I
speak
not
this
of
all
,
but
of
some
;
for
it
s
no
small
thing
to
discern
between
Truth
and
Error
,
especially
in
this
day
,
wherein
there
are
so
many
Ways
and
Professions
of
Church-Ministry
and
Worship
,
and
yet
all
professing
the
Scriptures
are
their
Rule
of
Faith
Worship
and
Practice
;
and
seeing
that
all
Sects
do
profess
Proof
from
Scripture
for
what
they
hold
forth
;
what
Ground
have
the
people
to
believe
you
more
than
others
,
or
others
more
than
you
?
for
where
people
receive
Doctrine
or
Religion
by
Report
from
others
,
without
the
Evidence
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
Hearts
,
this
is
not
receiving
of
the
Truth
unto
Eternal
Life
:
wherefore
I
exhort
your
Congregations
,
That
every
one
amongst
them
may
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
to
have
a
feeling
and
discerning
in
their
own
hearts
,
and
that
each
one
may
be
led
and
taught
o●
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
leads
into
all
Truth
,
that
they
may
deny
all
false
Ministers
and
false
Worships
,
and
may
worship
God
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
though
the
ministration
of
his
own
Spirit
in
their
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
and
thereby
will
they
discern
between
Truth
and
Error
,
and
will
love
the
one
,
and
hate
the
other
.
Thirdly
,
You
exhort
,
That
they
keep
themselves
unspotted
from
the
prevailing
Corruptions
of
these
back-sliding
Times
,
&c.
Answ.
Concerning
the
Times
many
are
ignorant
;
but
this
is
certain
at
the
present
Time
wherein
we
are
,
is
the
Lord
disquieting
of
men
,
and
its
the
latter
dayes
of
Antichist's
Raign
and
Government
,
that
hath
been
in
full
Power
and
Authority
for
many
Generations
;
and
Babylon
,
that
great
City
,
her
Ruin
is
threatned
,
because
of
her
Abominations
,
that
have
been
many
and
great
;
for
the
whole
Earth
hath
been
corrupted
(
as
it
s
written
)
and
now
the
Call
of
the
Lord
is
,
That
every
man
come
out
of
Babylon
,
and
deliver
himself
,
that
he
may
not
partake
of
their
Plagues
;
and
happy
are
they
that
are
made
clean
&
unspotted
from
their
Sins
,
that
they
may
not
be
found
covered
with
her
Garments
;
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
and
coming
upon
Babylon
,
and
all
Back-sliders
from
God
and
his
Wayes
:
Now
Babylon
is
that
great
City
,
which
hath
ruled
over
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
;
and
in
her
hath
the
Blood
of
Souls
,
and
of
all
just
Men
been
found
.
Fourthly
,
You
exhort
,
To
endeavour
a
Healing
of
those
sad
Breaches
and
Divisions
,
which
have
been
amongst
you
,
&c.
Answ.
Now
the
sad
Breaches
and
Divisions
,
which
are
indeed
at
present
in
this
Nation
,
cannot
be
healed
,
but
as
the
Cause
and
Ground
thereof
be
removed
,
which
is
the
Sins
of
Rulers
,
Teachers
and
People
;
and
this
is
the
Cause
wherefore
the
Lord
hath
brought
Distraction
amongst
them
.
Oh
what
Ambition
and
Self-seeking
hath
been
among
the
Rulers
!
What
judging
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
!
What
neglect
of
Mercy
and
Judgment
amongst
them
!
And
oh
how
have
they
oppressed
the
Poor
,
and
trodden
down
the
needy
!
and
because
hereof
is
the
Righteous
God
vexed
:
And
oh
what
Covetousness
and
Greediness
of
Gain
●re
the
Teachers
guilty
of
!
How
do
they
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
Divine
for
Money
!
How
have
they
unreasonably
caused
men
to
be
imprisoned
,
and
their
Goods
to
be
spoiled
for
Wages
,
and
Tythes
and
Hire
!
Oh
,
how
hath
Covetousness
,
and
Idolatry
and
Superstition
abounded
amongst
the
Teachers
in
this
Nation
!
Oh
,
abominable
have
been
their
Sins
,
their
Oppressions
and
Self-seekings
!
and
because
of
these
things
hath
the
Lord
brought
Distractions
amongst
People
;
and
the
Sins
of
Rulers
and
People
cry
for
Vengeance
from
the
Lord
:
and
till
these
Iniquities
be
removed
by
Repentance
,
and
forsaken
,
the
Fruit
and
Effect
thereof
shall
never
cease
;
but
Breach
upon
Breach
will
the
Lord
make
,
till
the
Rulers
and
Priests
repent
them
of
their
Iniquities
,
God's
Hand
will
be
upon
them
both
in
Judgment
:
and
for
their
sakes
that
divine
for
Money
,
and
preach
for
Hire
,
and
judge
for
Rewards
,
will
the
Lord
make
the
Nation
as
Heaps
,
and
as
a
Ploughed
Field
.
Therefore
let
all
people
Repent
of
their
Iniquities
,
and
return
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
become
Followers
of
the
Lamb
;
and
this
is
the
perfect
Way
of
healing
of
all
Breaches
,
inwardly
and
outwardly
.
Fifthly
,
You
exhort
,
To
be
diligent
in
the
Spiritual
and
Conscientious
Performances
of
Family-Duties
,
&c.
Answ.
Men
must
first
be
awakened
and
enlivened
unto
God
,
before
they
can
act
for
God
in
Holy
Duties
;
and
as
for
Duties
,
performed
in
pretence
unto
God
traditionally
,
and
without
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
but
Idolatry
;
and
the
Nation
is
weary
of
such
a
Religion
,
which
they
have
received
and
held
traditionally
;
for
thereby
the
Soul
Immortal
cannot
be
nourished
unto
Eternal
Life
:
and
while
you
teach
Duties
towards
God
by
that
Rule
,
while
you
teach
Praying
,
Singing
,
Repeating
,
Catechizing
,
by
Tradition
and
Immitation
,
without
the
Leadings
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
them
,
you
do
but
teach
Idolatry
,
as
long
hath
been
taught
in
the
Christian
Nations
:
the
doing
and
performing
such
and
such
things
,
as
Christian-Duties
and
Practices
,
and
the
Forcing
and
Compelling
of
doing
such
things
upon
People
in
the
unregenerate
state
and
unconverted
nature
,
this
Religion
,
and
such
Performances
of
Duties
,
have
been
of
Babylon
and
of
Antichrist
,
and
a
Cheat
upon
Peoples
Souls
,
whereby
many
have
been
murdered
and
slain
in
that
great
City
;
and
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
hath
been
practiced
while
Duties
have
been
performed
unto
God
,
without
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
such
,
their
Consciences
are
blinded
,
and
the
Lord
abhors
their
Sacrifices
:
And
people
must
first
come
to
feel
the
Word
of
God
in
their
Hearts
to
regenerate
them
,
before
they
can
perform
any
acceptable
thing
to
God
;
and
therefore
do
not
teach
People
to
be
Hypocrites
,
do
not
teach
them
such
and
such
Performances
in
the
corrupt
Nature
,
without
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
particulars
;
for
if
you
do
,
you
make
them
but
two
fold
more
the
Children
of
the
Devil
;
and
such
Duties
,
performed
in
that
nature
,
shall
not
cover
nor
hide
from
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
,
which
is
coming
upon
all
Hypocrites
.
Sixthly
,
You
exhort
,
That
they
would
cause
their
Children
and
Servants
to
submit
to
Catechizings
,
and
train
them
up
in
the
reverence
of
Godly
Ministry
,
&c.
Answ.
It
may
be
enquired
into
what
you
mean
by
cause
them
to
submit
;
how
cause
them
?
by
Force
and
Imposition
upon
their
Consciences
,
by
outward
external
personal
Punishments
or
Threats
?
Is
this
your
Meaning
?
Will
you
set
up
Religion
by
Violence
?
And
must
Children
and
Servants
be
compell'd
by
Restraint
and
Force
?
This
is
not
the
right
Way
to
promote
Religion
and
the
Worship
of
God
,
nor
to
make
Children
and
Servants
truly
Religious
;
it
was
the
Beast
,
that
received
power
from
the
Dragon
,
that
caused
all
to
worship
,
both
Small
and
Great
,
Children
and
Servants
;
and
this
causing
to
worship
was
in
the
time
of
the
Apostacy
,
when
the
true
Church
was
fled
into
the
Wilderness
;
and
all
the
time
ever
since
have
Nations
been
caused
and
compelled
to
such
and
such
performances
and
practices
of
Religion
and
Worship
,
and
such
causing
I
am
jealous
your
Meaning
is
,
whereby
you
would
force
and
compel
such
manner
of
Worship
and
Practices
upon
people
.
And
what
do
you
mean
by
Godly
Ministry
?
Will
you
admit
of
just
Tryal
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
whether
yours
be
that
Godly
Ministry
,
or
no
?
for
all
sorts
of
Christians
,
Papists
and
Protestants
,
and
all
others
,
they
will
say
,
That
they
are
in
the
right
Way
,
and
their
Ministry
is
the
Godly
Ministry
;
but
the
fruits
of
many
prove
the
contrary
;
and
we
cannot
believe
that
yours
is
the
Godly
Ministry
,
except
you
will
prove
it
to
us
,
by
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
.
Now
it
is
certain
,
That
the
Ministry
of
the
Apostles
was
the
true
Godly
Ministry
;
and
if
yours
agree
with
theirs
,
then
we
will
confess
,
That
yours
is
the
true
Godly
Ministry
.
Therefore
tell
us
plainly
,
do
you
agree
with
them
in
your
Call
,
and
in
your
Maintenance
,
and
in
your
Practices
,
and
in
your
Fruits
and
Effects
,
in
your
lives
and
Conversations
,
and
in
your
Doctrines
?
Are
you
justly
according
to
,
and
do
you
agree
with
the
Apostles
in
all
these
things
?
shall
we
lay
you
to
the
Line
,
that
you
may
be
judged
?
This
is
but
as
a
hint
at
things
,
whereby
you
might
justly
be
tryed
;
for
if
you
agree
not
with
the
Apostles
,
in
these
cases
mentioned
,
then
it
is
evident
,
that
your
Ministry
is
not
the
true
Godly
Ministry
;
but
hereafter
we
may
have
a
better
occasion
to
try
you
.
And
thus
the
principal
part
of
your
Exhortation
is
answered
,
and
if
you
can
,
receive
it
in
Love
.
TO
all
you
Sixty
One
Teachers
in
London
,
under
whose
hands
your
Exhortation
passeth
,
this
I
say
to
you
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
Oh
ye
Men
!
consider
,
and
let
it
enter
into
your
hearts
;
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
upon
you
,
and
an
Account
of
your
Stewardship
must
you
give
,
and
his
Reward
must
you
have
whom
you
have
served
,
and
you
must
reap
the
Fruit
of
what
you
have
sown
:
Oh
look
upon
your
Flocks
,
and
see
what
a
condition
they
are
in
!
Oh
what
Pride
and
Vain-glory
is
abounding
amongst
them
!
Oh
how
doth
Wickedness
spring
forth
from
them
!
Are
they
like
unto
Sheep
of
Christ's
Fold
?
or
,
Are
not
they
appearing
outwardly
Christians
,
when
as
the
evil
nature
is
uncut
down
in
them
?
Oh
what
Wickedness
abounds
in
this
City
!
What
Double-dealing
and
Dissimulation
?
What
Lying
,
and
Swearing
,
and
Drunkenness
?
Oh
,
high
are
all
the
Fruits
of
the
Flesh
grown
amongst
your
Flocks
!
Your
Vineyards
are
not
dressed
as
they
ought
to
be
,
there
are
aboundance
of
corrupt
Trees
and
fruitless
Branches
,
which
cumber
the
Ground
:
Oh!
it
makes
the
Heart
of
the
Righteous
sad
to
walk
in
the
Streets
,
and
to
view
the
Abominations
that
are
daily
brought
forth
by
a
people
professing
Scriptures
,
Church
,
Ministry
and
Christ
.
Oh!
it
burdens
the
Just
,
and
grieves
the
Righteous
Soul
to
consider
how
high
Iniquity
is
grown
among
the
Sheep
of
your
Pastures
,
whom
ye
should
have
fed
with
Knowledge
,
and
converted
unto
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
had
you
been
Messengers
sent
of
God
:
the
very
Iews
and
Heathens
they
blaspheme
against
Christ
,
through
the
Abominations
brought
forth
among
Christians
,
that
have
the
Name
to
live
,
but
are
dead
:
Oh!
let
it
enter
into
your
Hearts
,
and
smite
you
,
that
your
many
years
Ministry
should
have
so
little
effect
;
for
your
Vineyard
is
like
untilled
Ground
,
unploughed
and
unbroken
up
:
Oh!
there
is
much
Hard-heartedness
amongst
your
People
,
and
their
Hearts
go
after
Covetousness
,
even
while
they
profess
God
with
their
Lips
:
Oh!
the
Righteous
mourn
in
secret
to
see
the
Prophanness
,
the
Scornings
and
Reproaches
that
are
brought
forth
in
your
City
:
And
Oh
the
Idolatry
that
aboundeth
!
let
it
repent
you
that
you
have
been
so
sloathful
,
and
never
more
seek
the
Fleece
,
but
seek
the
Flock
that
's
gone
astray
from
the
Lord
,
who
is
the
true
Shepherd
,
whose
Voice
hath
not
been
obeyed
;
and
many
Pastors
have
destroyed
the
Vineyard
,
and
many
Shepherds
have
fed
themselves
,
and
not
the
Flock
:
Oh
consider
!
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
and
he
will
visit
with
his
Rod
:
You
and
your
Flocks
prepare
to
meet
the
Lord
;
for
his
Kingdom
is
nigh
to
come
,
which
will
be
a
terrible
Day
to
all
the
Workers
of
Iniquity
.
And
as
for
this
your
Exhortation
,
I
say
,
As
for
Exhortation
in
it self
,
Ministers
ought
to
exhort
their
Flocks
;
so
such
a
thing
in
it self
I
do
commend
,
and
not
oppose
;
but
when
I
had
read
and
seriously
considered
the
Aim
and
Intent
of
your
spirits
in
your
Exhortation
,
I
found
it
secretly
,
and
in
a
measure
openly
opposing
,
and
striking
at
,
and
secretly
smiting
the
People
of
the
Lord
,
whom
you
have
Reproached
by
the
name
of
Quakers
,
who
are
dear
to
the
Lord
,
and
he
careth
for
them
,
though
you
see
no
Beauty
in
them
,
but
account
them
altogether
vile
;
and
in
as
much
as
you
lifted
up
your
hands
against
them
,
upon
that
account
was
it
upon
my
spirit
to
return
something
in
Answer
,
for
the
Information
of
many
,
that
they
might
be
Undeceived
,
and
not
in
Envy
towards
any
,
but
in
Love
to
all
,
to
both
you
and
your
People
,
and
you
have
occasioned
this
upon
your selves
,
though
you
are
reproved
:
And
not
as
a
man
of
Strife
or
Contention
have
I
proceeded
,
but
as
one
that
desireth
the
further
Manifestation
of
Truth
,
and
that
no
false
Accusation
may
rest
upon
it
,
which
you
have
secretly
brought
forth
,
with
which
the
Lord
is
not
well-pleased
,
that
you
should
set
your selves
in
Opposition
against
his
People
;
and
if
any
of
you
shall
receive
a
just
Reproof
,
and
repent
,
it
may
prove
to
you
an
Advantage
or
much
Good
;
and
be
not
so
Proud
as
to
say
in
your
hearts
,
What
a●t
thou
,
weak
man
,
that
reprovest
us
?
or
,
Wherefore
art
thou
so
bold
thus
to
deal
with
us
?
but
rather
fall
under
just
Reproof
,
for
in
Uprightness
of
Heart
have
I
proceeded
towards
you
,
and
not
in
mine
own
,
but
in
the
Will
of
the
Father
.
And
oh
that
your
Flocks
would
also
consider
,
among
whom
there
are
many
that
are
zealous
in
their
way
!
Oh
that
their
Zeal
and
Judgments
were
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
then
should
it
be
well
with
them
!
Oh
that
they
would
be
meek
and
humble
,
and
learn
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
!
Oh
that
every
one
of
them
would
consider
,
and
turn
from
their
Iniquities
,
and
become
Followers
of
Jesus
Christ
,
then
should
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
be
revealed
unto
them
,
and
Peace
,
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
should
be
unto
them
,
and
their
Families
,
and
their
City
;
if
they
would
come
into
Covenant
with
God
,
and
be
taught
of
him
,
and
be
exercised
by
his
Law
in
their
Hearts
.
then
should
the
Countenance
of
the
Lord
be
upon
them
,
and
then
should
they
discern
between
Truth
and
Error
,
between
the
Ministers
of
Christ
and
Deceivers
.
Oh!
there
is
a
Pitty
for
many
poor
souls
,
which
are
zealous
in
their
way
of
Religion
,
without
Knowledge
;
and
they
think
they
do
God
good
service
,
while
yet
their
Consciences
are
not
exercised
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
but
a
false
spirit
that
rules
and
leads
,
and
may
hold
the
Truth
in
unrighteousness
,
and
they
know
not
but
that
they
do
well
:
Oh
that
such
would
consider
,
and
not
be
hasty
in
any
thing
,
to
perform
or
profess
Religion
in
their
degenerate
estate
,
but
that
they
would
come
to
know
the
Regeneration
,
and
the
renewing
of
their
minds
by
the
holy
spirit
,
and
that
the
Immortal
Birth
might
be
born
in
them
,
even
the
Birth
of
the
Spirit
,
which
is
Heir
of
God
:
Oh
that
that
might
live
and
rule
in
them
,
then
should
they
be
Heirs
of
God
,
and
Citizens
of
the
New-Ierusalem
!
And
oh
ye
People
of
London
!
lay
it
to
heart
,
you
must
be
born
again
,
or
else
you
can
never
enter
into
Gods
Kingdom
,
you
must
be
changed
in
nature
,
and
must
be
crucified
to
this
world
,
that
you
may
live
unto
God
;
this
must
you
come
unto
,
or
else
you
have
no
part
nor
portion
in
Eternal
Life
;
and
your
Duties
and
Performances
in
your
Forms
of
Religion
they
cannot
save
you
,
not
justifie
you
;
all
your
Preaching
,
Praying
,
Singing
,
and
all
your
Duties
whatsoever
,
they
are
all
nothing
,
till
you
come
to
know
changing
and
renewing
inwardly
,
and
do
witness
the
Seed
of
God
raised
up
in
you
,
and
the
head
of
the
Serpent
bruised
in
you
by
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
;
this
must
you
come
to
witness
,
that
your
Souls
may
live
.
Oh
that
you
would
consider
!
be
not
so
zealous
against
that
which
you
may
call
Heresie
and
Schism
,
for
while
you
err
in
judgment
,
you
may
soon
speak
evil
of
Truth
,
and
persecute
it
under
the
name
of
Error
;
many
have
wofully
faln
into
that
Snare
,
and
brought
sorrow
upon
themselves
thereby
:
The
wise
Iews
,
even
the
chief
Priests
,
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
they
were
as
confident
in
their
Way
,
as
you
can
be
,
and
yet
they
erred
in
judgment
,
and
would
not
receive
Christ
,
but
persecuted
him
under
the
very
name
of
a
Deceiver
;
and
thus
it
is
possible
for
many
to
do
in
this
Age
:
What
though
you
have
Christ's
words
,
and
the
Apostles
words
;
yet
if
you
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
that
was
in
the
Apostles
,
you
know
nothing
rightly
of
the
Scriptures
,
neither
can
you
understand
them
,
nor
have
Salvation
by
them
;
for
you
must
know
Christ
in
you
,
your
hope
of
glory
,
else
you
are
Reprobates
,
and
shut
out
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
And
search
the
Scriptures
,
and
see
if
they
do
not
witness
this
:
Do
not
they
say
,
Christ
is
in
you
,
except
you
be
Reprobates
?
and
do
not
they
say
,
The
Law
of
God
is
written
in
the
heart
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
is
put
in
the
inward
part
?
And
do
not
they
say
,
That
Christ
hath
lightned
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
with
the
true
Light
?
And
do
not
they
say
,
that
the
Apostle
exhorts
people
to
hearken
to
the
Word
of
God
in
their
hearts
,
and
to
be
followers
of
the
Spirit
of
God
that
was
in
their
hearts
?
And
do
not
the
Scriptures
say
,
That
it
was
the
Light
that
shined
in
the
heart
,
that
gave
the
knowledge
of
God
unto
the
Saints
?
Search
the
Scriptures
,
and
see
whether
these
things
be
so
:
and
must
not
men
be
born
again
of
the
Immortal
Seed
?
Oh
consider
!
and
let
not
these
Doctrines
seem
new
unto
you
,
neither
reject
them
,
though
they
come
unto
you
in
weak
appearance
,
not
with
words
of
mens
wisdom
,
but
in
Simplicity
,
and
in
sincerity
,
and
in
the
Power
of
God
:
And
search
the
Scriptures
whether
these
things
be
so
;
were
not
they
false
Prophets
,
That
preached
for
hire
,
and
divined
for
money
,
and
sought
for
their
gain
from
their
Quarter
?
were
not
such
Deceivers
in
the
true
Prophets
time
,
and
them
that
preached
for
filthy
lucre
,
and
for
money
,
and
for
gifts
and
rewards
?
were
not
such
false
Brethren
,
and
false
Apostles
?
search
the
Scriptures
whether
these
things
be
so
;
for
the
day
of
trial
is
now
come
,
wherein
all
must
be
searched
,
and
that
Religion
,
and
Worship
,
and
Ministry
,
which
is
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
which
was
given
forth
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
let
that
Religion
,
Worship
,
Church
,
and
Ministry
be
utterly
condemned
of
the
Lord
,
and
all
his
People
;
and
let
such
Ministers
as
cannot
prove
their
Call
,
their
Maintenances
and
Practices
,
to
be
according
to
Scriptures
,
let
such
Ministers
be
confounded
,
and
silenced
for
ever
;
and
come
to
try
this
matter
when
you
will
.
For
whereas
you
cry
out
against
us
,
as
if
we
were
Deniers
of
Scriptures
,
as
if
we
were
Enemies
to
Church
,
and
godly
Ministry
,
and
Religion
,
and
as
if
we
were
Deceivers
,
Hereticks
,
Papists
,
&c.
But
I
say
unto
you
,
these
things
have
you
never
yet
justly
proved
against
us
,
but
rather
accused
us
behind
our
backs
,
to
make
us
odious
among
people
;
and
though
for
divers
years
together
we
have
been
publick
,
yet
when
did
ever
any
of
you
Ministers
seek
by
lawfull
means
to
convert
us
,
or
shew
us
our
Errors
,
if
we
were
as
you
say
of
us
;
oh
,
it
had
been
your
time
to
have
sought
our
conversion
!
and
not
to
have
Persecuted
,
to
have
sent
to
Prisons
,
Houses
of
Correction
,
and
by
such
Weapons
of
any
outward
force
and
cruelty
have
you
dealt
with
us
,
and
not
in
meekness
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
as
Ministers
of
Christ
ought
to
do
;
but
have
cried
to
the
Magistrates
to
defend
you
and
your
your
Church
,
and
Worship
,
being
unable
,
as
it
were
,
by
the
Authority
of
God's
Spirit
to
defend
your selves
:
Therefore
I
say
unto
you
now
,
lay
down
your
Carnal
Weapons
,
and
come
out
in
the
Spirit
of
Meekness
,
and
come
out
in
the
Authority
of
God's
Spirit
;
if
you
have
it
,
convince
us
thereby
;
if
we
be
in
an
evil
way
,
as
you
say
,
let
us
hear
your
soundest
Arguments
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
to
prove
those
things
which
you
say
of
us
;
prove
it
by
evident
Arguments
,
that
we
deny
Scriptures
,
and
that
we
are
Hereticks
,
and
that
we
are
Papists
:
I
challenge
you
all
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
even
all
you
Ministers
of
London
,
let
us
hear
your
sound
Reasons
openly
in
the
spirit
of
Meekness
;
and
do
not
back-bite
nor
slander
in
the
dark
;
and
let
us
not
be
bawled
against
by
your
rude
Members
,
as
often
we
have
been
,
even
in
the
spirit
of
wickedness
:
but
come
out
you
Ministers
,
we
are
willing
to
be
tried
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
God
in
our
Religion
,
and
in
every
part
of
it
;
and
if
you
be
the
same
,
then
come
forth
in
the
spirit
of
Meekness
,
like
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
lay
down
your
Carnal
Weapons
,
and
let
us
have
fair
dealing
openly
,
that
Truth
may
be
manifested
publickly
,
and
Error
may
be
discovered
;
and
let
us
not
envy
one
anothers
persons
,
and
seek
to
destroy
one
anothers
lives
;
but
let
us
seek
to
destroy
the
evil
in
one
another
,
that
men
might
be
saved
;
and
this
would
be
a
Christian-like
way
;
we
would
hear
what
you
have
to
charge
against
our
Religion
,
by
sound
Arguments
in
Meekness
,
that
we
may
answer
it
,
and
then
we
will
charge
something
upon
your
Ministry
,
Church
,
Religion
and
Worship
,
and
we
will
prove
what
we
say
against
you
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
we
will
not
impose
our
Religion
upon
you
,
by
the
force
of
outward
Powers
,
and
outward
Laws
,
neither
would
we
have
you
force
your
Religion
,
Ministry
and
Church
upon
us
,
by
such
means
,
but
we
will
leave
the
effect
of
all
thing
to
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
come
out
when
you
will
in
such
a
way
as
this
,
and
this
would
satisfie
thousands
;
and
let
Meekness
,
and
the
Fear
of
God
be
amongst
you
,
and
this
is
the
way
to
exalt
Religion
:
and
we
would
think
it
a
happiness
,
more
then
otherwise
,
to
be
joyned
in
sober
debate
and
dispute
against
you
,
that
you
and
we
,
in
your
Religion
,
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
in
ours
also
,
might
be
tried
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
that
all
may
be
satisfied
who
are
doubtful
,
and
may
hear
you
Principles
and
our
Principles
discussed
,
in
the
presence
of
the
People
,
who
may
judge
by
the
Light
and
Witness
in
their
own
Consciences
,
for
to
that
in
all
we
do
appeal
;
and
in
such
a
proceeding
,
come
forth
when
you
will

The

General
Epistle
To
all
the
SAINTS
:
Being
a
Visitation
of
the
Fathers
Love
,
unto
the
whole
Flock
of
Cod
,
who
are
called
and
gathered
into
the
spiritual
Kingdom
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
:
To
be
read
in
all
the
Assemblies
of
them
,
that
meet
together
to
worship
the
Father
in
the
Spirit
and
Truth
,
in
the
silence
of
all
Flesh.
Dearly
Beloved
,
WHom
the
Father
hath
called
and
chosen
into
the
Election
of
Eternal
Salvation
,
and
who
have
handled
,
and
tasted
,
and
felt
of
the
Judgments
and
Mercies
of
the
Lord
;
and
amongst
whom
the
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
hath
appeared
in
his
Spirit
,
and
in
his
Power
,
which
〈◊〉
gotten
you
into
the
Heirship
of
the
heavenly
Kingdom
.
Oh
Friends
!
our
Kingdom
and
Victory
is
not
of
this
World
,
nor
earthly
,
but
from
above
,
and
spiritual
;
wherein
we
have
Peace
and
Comfort
,
endless
and
everlasting
,
which
the
World
knows
not
of
;
I
say
unto
you
all
that
know
these
things
,
Live
in
the
Peace
,
and
Victory
,
and
Kingdom
which
is
invisible
,
and
mind
the
things
,
as
your
greatest
Treasure
,
that
pertain
to
that
Kingdom
,
even
the
weighty
matters
of
it
,
which
a●
eternal
and
infinite
;
and
that
every
one
of
you
may
feel
and
enjoy
a
Portion
in
that
Kingdom
:
Oh!
it
is
precious
for
a
people
to
be
Subjects
of
the
heavenly
Kingdom
,
and
for
a
man
to
have
an
assurance
of
Life
and
Peace
in
God
,
and
to
be
an
Heir
of
that
Kingdom
that
fadeth
not
away
,
and
to
have
his
name
written
in
the
Record
of
Life
;
and
blessed
is
every
one
whose
Hope
and
Confidence
,
and
Peace
and
Assurance
is
in
the
living
God
,
and
whose
Soul
resteth
under
the
Government
of
the
Almighty
,
and
who
knows
him
to
be
Judge
,
King
,
and
Lawgiver
in
all
things
;
and
this
is
the
Kingdom
that
is
heavenly
,
and
is
altogether
blessed
;
for
Peace
,
and
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
all
Vertue
is
enjoyed
in
it
for
evermore
.
Now
Friends
,
you
must
all
be
subjected
in
all
things
under
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
unto
his
will
,
and
he
must
work
in
you
to
will
and
to
do
;
for
in
this
is
true
Rest
and
Peace
unto
the
Soul
,
where
the
Will
of
the
Father
is
done
and
suffered
in
all
things
,
and
not
the
Will
of
man
,
which
worketh
sorrow
to
the
Creature
,
and
not
peace
,
in
the
obedience
to
it
,
and
where
it
rules
;
and
that
must
be
subjected
in
you
,
even
in
every
Word
,
Work
,
and
Motion
,
unto
the
eternal
Power
,
that
you
may
die
,
and
Christ
may
live
;
and
in
this
you
will
have
union
and
fellowship
in
spirit
with
the
Lord
God
,
and
he
alone
will
be
your
trust
and
confidence
,
and
your
glory
,
if
he
live
in
you
,
and
walk
in
you
,
and
then
you
are
his
People
,
and
he
is
your
God
.
And
Friends
are
to
mind
this
,
even
Peace
,
and
Union
,
and
Fellowship
with
the
Lord
,
and
the
comfort
of
his
Presence
,
which
is
the
onely
happiness
of
the
Creature
,
even
the
enjoyment
of
him
that
is
invisible
,
who
is
God
infinite
over
all
,
to
whom
mortal
eye
cannot
approach
,
neither
can
the
mortal
mind
him
apprehend
,
but
in
his
own
Life
manifested
in
mortal
Flesh
,
and
by
the
measure
of
his
own
Spirit
that
dwells
in
us
is
he
seen
,
felt
,
preceived
,
and
enjoyed
of
us
;
so
mind
the
Immortal
Life
begotten
of
the
Father
in
you
,
that
that
may
live
in
you
,
even
the
Heir
of
God
,
which
is
his
Image
and
likeness
,
for
in
that
alone
is
Covenant
with
God
made
and
kept
,
and
in
it
is
the
Fathers
presence
enjoyed
,
and
he
Worshipped
without
respect
of
time
,
place
,
or
visible
thing
;
and
if
that
live
in
you
,
then
yo●
in
that
will
live
unto
God
,
in
all
that
which
is
answerable
unto
him
;
and
your
words
and
works
will
be
accepted
of
him
,
and
well-pleasing
to
him
,
even
because
it
is
him
that
worketh
in
you
to
will
and
to
do
all
good
things
,
and
he
alone
exalted
in
you
,
and
you
subjected
,
and
the
Maker
is
become
the
Husband
,
and
you
married
unto
him
;
and
he
lives
in
Power
,
and
Rule
,
and
Command
,
and
you
liv●
In
subjecti●●
unto
him
,
and
in
fulfilling
his
Will
in
what
he
guideth
in
,
by
his
Holy
Spiri●
;
And
this
life
is
very
precious
.
Oh
Friends
!
live
in
it
,
and
dwell
in
it
always
,
and
then
your
Joy
and
Peace
will
be
with
you
over
all
this
World
,
and
you
will
be
Comforted
,
whe●
Fear
and
Terrour
comes
upon
all
men
;
for
the
Lord
God
whom
we
serve
●nd
worship
in
the
Spirit
,
will
cause
his
Enemies
to
know
his
Power
;
and
that
he
doth
and
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
,
and
will
smite
his
Enemies
,
and
wound
them
in
their
Consciences
;
for
all
Power
,
Dominion
,
and
Authority
is
with
him
,
he
is
mighty
to
save
,
and
mighty
to
destroy
,
and
his
Reward
is
to
every
one
according
to
their
deeds
;
and
this
is
the
God
whom
we
fear
and
worship
,
and
all
Flesh
must
bow
before
him
,
when
he
shews
his
presence
;
though
men
〈◊〉
high
and
lifted
up
,
and
go
on
in
Rebellion
against
him
without
fear
,
yet
th●
hand
of
the
Lord
will
be
upon
the●
,
and
he
shall
smite
them
with
the
●od
of
his
mouth
:
Wherefore
all
Friends
,
have
respect
unto
the
Lord
in
your
〈◊〉
in
all
things
that
you
do
,
and
in
all
things
that
cometh
to
pass
,
for
that
is
●●●●●ed
in
a
people
;
and
they
shall
prosper
,
their
Souls
shall
be
nourished
,
and
their
lives
refreshed
with
the
Mercies
of
the
Lord
,
even
all
they
that
do
wai●
upon
the
Lord
,
and
have
respect
unto
him
and
his
Eternal
Power
,
which
doth
and
suffereth
all
things
that
be
;
In
which
Power
you
must
dwell
and
walk
,
and
feel
it
in
your
hearts
,
and
it
will
be
your
Armour
and
Defence
in
all
things
,
and
it
will
carry
you
through
all
that
which
worketh
contrary
.
And
it
is
very
pretious
to
be
Armed
with
the
Armour
of
God
,
in
the
Day
of
Temptations
and
Tryals
,
that
you
may
not
be
overcome
of
the
wicked
,
nor
spoiled
of
the
Heavenly
Inheritance
.
Oh
Frinds
!
put
on
strength
,
that
you
may
stand
,
and
never
be
moved
from
the
hope
of
Eternal
Life
,
and
feel
the
renewing
of
your
inward
man
,
even
the
increase
and
growth
of
the
Immortal
Life
in
you
,
that
you
may
live
in
that
unto
the
Lord
God
,
and
Covenant
with
him
may
be
preserved
,
whereby
,
you
may
be
a
praise
and
a
glory
to
him
in
your
Generation
in
the
sight
of
the
whole
World
,
even
all
you
who
have
tasted
of
the
Presence
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
who
have
known
his
Mercies
and
Judgements
,
and
been
acquainted
with
him
,
that
you
may
be
kept
faithful
unto
the
end
,
and
not
be
subverted
by
the
wicked
one
,
nor
drawn
from
the
Obedience
to
the
Truth
,
nor
loose
your
Crown
of
Immortality
,
neither
by
the
flattery
nor
terrour
of
the
ungodly
,
but
that
you
live
in
the
Dominion
of
Immortal
Life
,
which
keeps
above
all
Mortal
Temptations
and
Mortal
Terrour
,
and
gives
Authority
over
all
:
And
this
Life
is
blessed
,
where
the
Glory
and
Peace
of
this
World
,
and
the
Troubles
and
Sorrows
of
it
also
,
are
seen
over
,
and
felt
beyond
,
and
nothing
of
it
can
move
the
Heart
,
nor
disquiet
the
Spirit
,
nor
work
any
Separation
from
the
Fathers
Love
;
and
in
the
Seed
of
God
,
where
it
lives
above
mortal
,
is
this
enioyed
by
us
and
all
the
Faithful
:
But
if
the
mans
part
live
above
the
Seed
of
God
,
that
,
will
be
drawn
aside
by
the
love
or
by
the
terrour
of
this
World
,
for
that
is
changable
,
and
the
evil
one
hath
a
part
in
it
;
so
that
part
is
to
be
kept
in
subjection
in
you
,
under
the
Seed
of
God
,
&
it
must
bear
the
Cros●
of
Christ
always
,
else
you
will
be
overcome
of
the
wicked
;
for
in
that
part
(
the
m●…
part
)
which
is
of
this
World
,
the
Devil
hath
somthing
,
a
place
to
receive
●im
,
&
p●●t
to
obey
him
;
but
in
the
Seed
of
God
he
hath
nothing
,
neither
place
nor
part
:
And
so
Friends
live
in
the
Seed
of
God
,
for
in
that
is
your
Victory
and
heavenly
Dominion
,
and
also
your
Election
and
Assurance
for
ever
,
even
in
the
second
Birth
,
begotten
of
the
Father
;
for
that
is
the
Heir
of
God
,
and
therei●
doth
man
inherit
Eternal
Life
,
and
Rest
and
Peace
to
his
Soul
,
and
therein
is
Ble●●●●gs
and
Peace
,
and
Life
inwardly
and
outwardly
,
and
all
fulness
is
enjoyed
;
where
the
Lord
is
the
Teacher
,
the
Father
,
the
Shepherd
,
the
Master
the
King
and
Judge
;
and
is
become

and
man
lives
in
Peace
,
according
to
the
Promise
;
and
the
Mountain
of
the
Lords
House
is
established
on
the
top
of
all
,
in
which
nothing
can
destroy
or
hurt
the
pure
Life
;
but
Life
is
in
Dominion
over
all
,
and
〈◊〉
is
swallowed
up
of

Oh
Friends
!
this
is
the
mark
that
is
before

that
you
may
obtain
the
final
end
of

of

sent
of

delivered
to

:
The
end
of
all
is
this
,
Th●●

be
gathered

to

and
that
he

you
may
be

an

Friends

it
is
,
that
the
Way
of
Life
,
and
Peace
,
and
of
Salvation
is
m●de
manifest
unto
you
,
and
you
know
wherein
everlasting
Peace
and
Reconciliation
with
God
standeth

and
you
also
know
,
what
the
cause
is
of
all
tro●●le
,
and
sorrow
,
and
condemnation
;
the
Lord
hath
opened
many
Hearts
,
and
given
unto
many
a
good
Understanding
:
And
seeing
you
know
this
,
live
in
the
Way
of
Peace
,
and
escape
the
other
,
that
you
may
not
come
into
condemnation
;
for
it
is
a
fearfull
thing
to
fall
into
the
Condemnation
and
Wrath
of
the
Almighty
.
And
for
this
cause
,
That
men
should
be
saved
from
Wrath
,
and
have
Peac●
with
God
,
the
Message
of
Life
and
Salvation
hath
the

plentifully
in
this
Nation
,
and
you
have
received
it
,
and
believed
the
Report
,
though
many
have
rejected
it
to
their
Destruction
,
whose
Judgment
will
be
upon
them
;
but
you
have
tasted
,
handled
,
and
f●lt
of
the
Word
of
eternal
Life
,
by
which
the
Lord
hath
wounded
you
,
and
healed
you
again
;
and
many
hath
he
slain
,
and
made
them
alive
,
even
through
his
Word
and
Power
,
which
hath
entred
into
many
hearts
,
which
killeth
the
Enmity
,
and
quicken●th
the
Seed
,
and
which
breaketh
off
from
all
the
World's
followship
,
both
in
Transgressions

and
Righteousness
,
and
makes
all
void
,
all
Covenants
with
Death
and
Hell
,
and
marrieth
unto
the

;
and
the
Marriage
of

is
c●me
unto
many
,
even
unto
all
in
whom
his
innocent
and
heavenly
Na●●re
is
begotten
and
brought
forth
;
for
this
is
of
his

〈◊〉
here
is
his
Wife
that
hath
made
her self

even
the
Marriage

for
this
is
the

and
loveth
the

who

Innocency

covered
with
divine
Righteousness
,
in
which
there
is
no
Spot

out
of

Oh
Friends
!
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
that
ye
may
possess
these
things
;
for
to
k●ow
th●●
,
and
be
in
them
,
is
everlasting
Treasure
and
Riches
;
the
Possession
of
them
are
Riches
to
the
Poor
,
Bread
to
the
Hungry
,
and
Clothing
to
the
Naked
,
and
Life
to
the
Dead
:
And
if
ye
know
these
things
,
lay
them
up
in
your
hearts
,
as
your
most
precious
Treasure
,
and
let
none
spoil
you
of
it
;
And
if
ye
are
married
unto
the
Lamb
,
then
are
you
the
True
and
onely
Church
,
even
his
Body
and
living
Members
of
it
;
for
such
onely
are
the
True
Church
,
that
are
married
to
Christ
,
and
United
to
him
in
his
own
nature
;
and
all
such
are
false
Churches
,
and
are
even
of
the
great
Whore
,
that
hath
taken
upon
them
the
name
of
Churches
of
Christ
,
but
were
never
lawfully
married
unto
him
,
and
such
are
deceived
,
and
Deceivers
of
others
with
the
very
Name
of
Christ
,
calling
themselves
by
the
Name
of
his
Church
,
while
they
are
in
the
nature
contrary
to
him
,
nor
they
ever
lawfully
married
unto
him
;
and
this
is
the
great
Whore
who
commits
lewdness
though
Nations
,
in
all
false
worships
and
Idolatrous
Practices
and
Ordinances
,
and
in
her
false
Ministry
,
and
false
Doctrines
;
and
she
was
set
up
in
Nations
,
by
the
force
of
cruel
and
violent
Laws
,
and
men
,
and
is
upheld
by
Oppression
and
Injustice
at
this
day
;
and
yet
all
this
she
doth
under
the
Name
of
Holy
Church
,
and
useth
the
Name
of
Christ
,
as
if
she
were
his
Wife
,
and
yet
hath
other
Lovers
;
and
by
such
means
hath
this
great
Whore
deceived
the
World
:
But
now
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
upon
her
,
and
the
hour
of
her
Judgement
is
at
hand
,
and
all
that
have
taken
plea●●●e
with
her
,
shall
mourn
and
bitterly
lament
,
because
of
her
Judgements
which
cometh
in
a
day
;
but
we
are
delivered
from
her
Judgements
,
because
the
Lord
hath
called
us
from
her
abominations
;
and
we
can
no
more
drink
her
Cup
of
false
Doctrines
and
Practices
,
all
which
are
Idolatry
,
and
to
be
Judged
of
the
Lord
,
though
she
should
drink
our
Blood
,
as
she
hath
done
the
Saints
before
us
;
But
I
say
,
the
Lord
hath
led
us
out
of
this
Babylon
,
He
hath
delivered
us
from
this
great
City
,
and
made
us
Spiritually
free
from
its
abominations
and
Idolatries
,
though
not
outwardly
free
from
her
oppressions
and
cruelties
:
And
though
this
great
City
hath
Ruled
over
the
Kings
and
great
men
of
the
earth
,
and
subjected
many
Nations
through
its
wickedness
and
violence
;
yet
certainly
its
ruin
is
near
to
come
,
Else
my
Hope
is
lost
,
my
Life
is
smitten
,
and
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
by
me
:
And
the
Lord
will
Reward
this
false
woman
,
this
false
Church
,
that
hath
deceived
the
Nations
,
even
according
to
her
deeds
,
as
she
hath
done
to
others
,
so
shall
others
do
to
her
,
measure
for
measure
;
and
much
more
might
we
say
concerning
her
,
but
the
Lord
hath
opened
our
eyes
,
and
we
see
her
abominations
,
and
she
cannot
deceive
us
:
And
this
is
the
loving
kindness
of
the
Lord
unto
us
,
for
which
he
is
worthy
to
be
praised
by
us
,
for
evermore
.
And
in
that
ye
have
received
the
Truth
,
and
do
know
the
Truth
,
live
in
it
,
and
walk
in
it
in
all
faithfulness
;
and
be
not
fearful
and
unbelieving
,
as
though
the
Lord
were
not
with
you
,
though
ye
suffer
much
for
his
Names
sake
;
for
he
is
not
wanting
unto
that
man
that
doth
fear
his
Name
,
and
that
walks
in
his
Way
;
but
for
the
deliverance
of
all
such
will
he
appear
,
he
will
free
the
oppressed
,
and
the
afflicted
people
he
will
save
,
even
by
his
out-stretched
Arm
:
Wherefore
let
our
eye
be
unto
the
Lord
in
all
estates
and
conditions
,
whether
of
sufferings
or
otherwise
,
for
from
him
Salvation
cometh
,
and
not
from
the
Mountains
of
the
Earth
;
and
keep
your
Meatings
in
your
several
places
,
and
be
faithful
in
all
things
,
that
your
Consciences
may
be
kept
void
of
offences
,
both
towards
God
and
men
,
that
no
disobedience
nor
load
of
iniquity
may
be
upon
you
,
but
that
in
the
sight
of
God
,
you
may
feel
clearness
and
freedom
of
Soul
and
Spirit
,
from
the
burden
of
all
transgression
,
that
you
may
know
the
Remission
of
all
sin
,
and
all
iniquity
may
be
blotted
out
,
and
no
guilt
of
transgression
may
lie
upon
you
,
but
you
may
enjoy
Peace
in
your
Consciences
,
in
the
Sanctification
and
Justification
of
the
new
man
;
and
this
is
the
heavenly
Life
,
even
upon
Earth
:
And
when
you
are
met
together
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
mind
his
presence
amongst
you
,
for
that
is
life
,
and
will
make
your
Meetings
profitable
and
full
of
Vertue
to
your
Souls
,
and
the
Lord
will
instruct
you
in
all
that
which
is
good
,
and
Christ
will
be
your
Minister
of
Peace
and
Comfort
,
and
his
Spirit
will
l●●d
you
into
all
Truth
,
and
by
his
Word
,
even
the
speech
of
God
in
your
hearts
,
you
will
be
quickned
in
Spirit
,
and
your
strength
and
Peace
in
God
will
be
renewed
day
by
day
;
and
walk
in
all
Wisdom
,
and
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
one
towards
another
,
and
towards
all
people
,
that
your
Righteous
and
innocent
life
,
and
your
Holy
Wayes
and
Works
of
Truth
,
may
have
Evidence
in
the
hearts
of
your
Enemies
,
that
you
are
of
God
,
by
the
shining
forth
of
your
light
before
them
;
and
that
the
Devil
,
nor
all
your
Enemies
may
have
ought
against
you
,
saving
concerning
your
God
,
and
the
Worship
of
him
,
and
the
matters
pertaining
to
good
Conscience
;
and
then
if
any
suffer
afflictions
and
tribulation
by
wicked
men
,
if
it
be
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
concerning
the
Law
of
your
God
,
and
the
matters
of
his
Kingdom
;
in
such
suffering
the
Lord
will
be
with
you
,
and
not
forsake
you
,
but
he
will
give
you
Dominion
,
and
carry
you
through
it
all
in
Patience
and
Faith
,
which
gives
you
Victory
over
all
Enemies
;
And
nothing
shall
come
to
you
,
nor
happen
on
you
in
the
anger
of
God
,
but
all
afflictions
shall
be
turned
to
your
Comfort
,
and
by
Persecutions
and
Tribulations
the
Lord
will
but
try
you
,
and
not
destroy
you
,
you
being
delivered
from
his
wrath
,
and
from
that
which
is
the
Cause
of
it
:
And
therefore
Friends
,
it
being
much
upon
my
Spirit
,
I
do
lay
it
upon
you
,
to
be
mindful
in
this
very
thing
,
that
you
walk
in
all
Wisdom
,
so
that
your
Enemies
have
nothing
against
you
,
to
cause
you
to
suffer
for
,
but
onely
for
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
sake
,
and
concerning
the
Law
and
Worship
of
your
God
;
and
then
if
the
wicked
one
take
occasion
against
you
,
to
inflict
his
wrath
upon
you
by
wicked
men
,
because
of
the
exercises
of
your
Consciences
towards
God
,
thereby
shall
the
Lord
take
occasion
against
your
Enemies
,
to
destroy
them
in
his
season
,
and
he
will
deliver
you
;
and
for
this
Cause
doth
the
Lord
plead
with
the
wicked
in
his
wrath
,
even
because
of
the
unjust
sufferings
of
his
People
,
for
that
alwayes
drew
down
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
upon
Nations
,
and
Rulers
;
and
for
this
Cause
hath
many
been
destroyed
;
and
in
our
sufferings
must
be
filled
up
the
measure
of
the
iniquities
,
both
of
Rulers
and
people
in
this
Nation
,
that
the
Lord
may
over-turn
them
with
his
hand
,
when
their
measure
of
oppression
is
finished
,
and
the
burden
of
its
guilt
falls
upon
them
.
Therefore
let
us
have
Patience
towards
all
men
in
all
Conditions
,
and
Faith
towards
God
at
all
times
,
for
therein
is
our
Armour
of
Defence
,
and
our
Weapons
to
resist
all
our
Enemies
,
and
giving
up
into
the
Eternal
Will
of
the
Father
,
whether
in
Life
or
Death
,
in
Tribulations
or
in
Rejoycing
,
and
giving
our
Power
wholly
to
the
Lord
,
and
nor
unto
any
other
,
knowing
,
That
not
one
Hair
of
our
Head
can
fall
without
him
,
whose
Power
is
over
all
,
and
through
●ll
:
So
that
if
we
Live
,
it
may
be
unto
him
alone
;
and
if
we
suffer
,
and
dye
,
it
may
be
for
him
,
and
herein
Peace
shall
be
with
us
,
in
whatsoever
cometh
to
pass
upon
us
,
if
we
can
receive
all
things
as
from
the
hand
of
the
Lord
;
and
Live
in
the
feeling
of
that
Power
,
which
doth
all
things
,
or
suffereth
all
things
to
be
done
.
And
blessed
is
he
that
is
not
offended
in
Christ
,
who
cannot
be
offended
in
him
,
nor
separated
from
him
by
Principalities
,
nor
Powers
of
Darkness
,
nor
Death
,
nor
Life
of
any
thing
:
And
in
this
growth
was
the
Apostle
,
which
the
same
is
to
be
waited
for
,
blessed
is
he
that
obtaines
it
;
for
that
which
takes
offence
against
Christ
,
is
of
the
same
with
that
which
gives
it
;
for
all
offences
against
him
,
ariseth
from
the
corrupted
nature
which
knows
him
not
,
and
that
which
receiveth
any
offence
against
him
,
is
the
same
which
knows
him
not
;
Yea
,
though
an
offence
may
be
justly
given
,
yet
that
in
which
the
offence
takes
place
,
knows
not
the
Father
not
the
Son
:
And
Christ
said
offences
should
come
,
but
woe
unto
him
by
whom
they
come
,
and
woe
unto
that
which
stumbles
and
f●lls
through
offences
.
Therefore
every
one
is
to
minde
,
the
certain
evidence
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
of
the
Truth
and
Way
of
Salvation
in
his
own
heart
,
and
being
perswaded
concerning
the
Way
of
Salvation
,
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
●●at
Spirit
will
judge
every
offence
that
is
given
,
and
not
embrace
it
;
and
that
Spirit
which
judges
and
casts
out
,
that
which
gave
offence
against
God
,
in
that
Spirit
may
a
man
be
preserved
above
all
offences
,
so
as
nothing
can
separate
him
from
the
love
of
God
;
but
though
this
offence
,
or
the
other
,
whatsoever
may
arise
,
yet
such
a
one
feels
and
possesses
the
Mercy
,
Love
and
Peace
from
God
in
his
own
spirit
,
and
such
a
one
lives
in
the
heavenly
Life
,
and
cannot
make
the
evil
example
of
another
an
occasion
of
iniquity
to
himself
,
but
he
rather
hears
and
fears
,
and
keeps
in
more
diligence
and
respect
to
the
fear
and
presence
of
God
in
his
own
heart
,
yet
he
covers
not
the
offence
that
is
given
in
it self
,
but
with
a
Spirit
of
judgment
treads
it
down
,
and
walks
over
it
;
and
this
is
the
right
Way
for
a
man
of
God
to
walk
in
;
and
that
Spirit
is
not
right
before
the
Lord
,
nor
that
heart
which
takes
unto
it self
an
occasion
to
stumble
at
,
or
deny
the
Power
and
Mercy
of
the
Lord
,
because
another
may
abuse
them
:
But
if
one
be
from
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
hearts
,
their
mind
unsetled
upon
that
,
and
unseasoned
with
that
,
then
the
offences
enter
,
and
works
darkness
and
prejudice
in
the
mind
,
and
the
wrong
part
being
up
,
it
receives
all
things
to
a
wrong
end
,
and
it
abuses
Gods
Mercies
,
and
also
wants
the
Authority
to
pass
Judgment
upon
offences
,
and
because
hereof
is
a
man
undone
;
for
prejudice
will
eat
out
the
good
,
and
destroy
Simplicity
,
and
wound
the
Soul
,
and
bring
men
into
Death
and
bitterness
of
spirit
:
Therefore
this
is
to
all
Friends
,
that
you
may
be
kept
in
the
Spirit
of
Judgment
,
which
will
not
receive
an
offence
into
the
wrong
part
,
but
will
Judge
all
offences
in
themselves
,
and
hereby
all
will
be
preserved
,
and
Truth
must
travel
through
all
his
enemies
,
and
blessed
is
he
that
is
kept
faithful
to
the
end
,
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
that
Reigns
over
,
and
Judgeth
the
Power
of
Darkness
in
every
appearance
of
it
,
Inwardly
and
Outwardly
.
And
as
concerning
the
times
and
seasons
,
and
the
present
Confusions
and
Distractions
that
is
amongst
men
,
much
might
be
spoken
;
but
certainly
the
end
of
all
these
things
,
shall
be
turned
for
good
unto
us
,
and
unto
all
that
do
abide
in
Faith
and
Patience
unto
the
end
;
and
though
the
present
times
be
of
an
heavy
countenance
towards
us
,
like
as
if
we
should
be
swallowed
up
through
the
roaring
of
the
Sea
,
and
because
wickedness
doth
abound
by
the
spirit
that
now
is
exalted
;
yet
in
this
let
us
respect
the
Lord
,
for
certain
it
is
,
that
Times
and
Seasons
are
in
his
Hand
,
to
change
them
at
his
pleasure
,
and
to
take
them
from
one
,
and
give
them
to
another
when
he
will
;
the
day
is
his
,
and
the
Victory
is
in
his
Hand
:
Oh!
let
not
mortal
men
glory
against
him
,
mans
time
is
but
for
a
moment
,
and
it
is
our
Blessedness
and
Peace
to
be
still
,
to
be
still
;
And
to
have
a
Respect
to
the
Lord
through
all
these
overturnings
;
And
though
the
spirit
that
now
is
,
be
wicked
and
abounding
in
iniquity
,
yet
the
Lord
will
limit
its
way
:
And
as
for
the
men
that
now
are
in
Power
,
it
is
very
Just
with
the
Lord
,
to
let
them
have
their
Day
,
even
to
try
them
what
they
will
do
,
many
others
before
those
have
had
also
their
Day
,
that
have
promised
great
things
,
as
to
Liberty
and
Freedom
of
the
Nation
,
even
much
more
than
these
;
but
they
abused
times
and
seasons
,
and
opportunities
,
and
were
deceitful
towards
God
and
Man
,
and
sought
themselves
more
than
the
good
of
others
,
and
therefore
are
they
justly
under
reproach
and
sufferings
,
even
for
their
disobedience
sake
,
who
would
not
give
ear
to
the
Cry
of
our
oppressions
,
though
they
were
called
unto
,
but
made
our
Yoaks
more
heavy
,
and
our
Tasks
more
great
,
though
the
Lord
looked
for
better
things
from
them
,
yet
they
were
rebellious
till
they
were
sunk
into
Confusion
;
and
we
yet
stand
,
and
they
are
fallen
,
that
thought
to
destroy
us
.
And
this
spirit
,
and
these
men
who
now
are
,
which
once
the
other
had
power
over
,
is
now
justly
set
in
Power
over
them
:
And
all
this
is
accomplished
,
in
the
Justice
of
the
Lord's
Hand
,
and
therefore
,
Why
should
we
murmur
against
God
?
or
say
,
Why
hast
thou
done
it
?
But
let
us
travel
in
Patience
through
all
the
Oppressions
,
and
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
we
shall
work
through
them
,
as
through
others
heretofore
,
even
till
the
Lord
deliver
us
:
For
this
Spirit
that
now
is
,
must
Rule
,
until
the
pleasure
of
the
Lord
be
fulfilled
concerning
it
;
May
not
the
Lord
do
something
through
it
,
unworthy
of
a
better
spirit
to
be
imployed
in
?
God
hath
vessels
of
dishonour
;
And
the
King
of
Assyria
and
Nebuchadnezzar
must
serve
his
pleasure
,
when
he
will
use
them
:
And
therefore
no
man
at
present
is
found
able
to
divert
the
Authority
of
it
;
for
it
seems
right
unto
the
Lord
,
that
it
have
its
season
,
if
not
in
love
to
it
,
yet
in
his
wrath
,
that
its
measure
of
wickedness
may
be
filled
up
in
this
occasion
given
unto
it
,
that
the
Lord
may
destroy
it
;
for
though
it
have
all
Power
to
Rule
,
and
to
subdue
that
which
riseth
against
it
;
yet
this
is
not
,
because
the
Lord
is
on
its
side
,
but
thus
he
suffers
it
,
for
a
Rod
to
correct
others
,
that
have
been
unfaithful
,
even
till
the
Lord
correct
it
also
with
his
Judgements
.
And
the
purpose
of
the
Lord
is
to
prove
the
men
,
if
so
be
some
of
them
may
learn
Righteousness
and
be
saved
,
though
some
of
them
want
the
shew
of
Religion
,
which
others
have
had
;
yet
God
hath
not
left
himself
without
witness
in
them
:
And
the
Lord
may
be
nigh
to
some
of
them
,
if
he
smite
,
they
must
be
wounded
;
let
us
walk
in
Wisdom
and
Innocency
towards
them
,
and
be
faithful
towards
the
Lord
concerning
them
,
and
leave
them
to
him
.
And
as
for
all
the
confusions
,
and
distractions
,
and
rumors
of
Wars
,
what
are
they
to
us
?
What
have
we
to
do
with
them
?
and
wherein
are
we
concerned
in
these
things
?
is
not
our
Kingdom
of
another
World
,
Even
that
of
peace
and
righteousness
?
and
hath
not
the
Lord
called
us
,
and
chosen
us
into
the
possession
of
that
Inheritance
,
wherein
strife
,
and
enmity
dwelleth
not
?
Yea
,
he
hath
broken
down
that
part
in
us
that
is
related
thereunto
,
and
being
dead
in
that
Nature
of
Strife
,
Bloodshed
,
and
Wars
,
how
can
we
live
in
strife
and
contention
in
the
World
,
or
have
fellowship
with
any
therein
?
And
can
we
have
pleasure
in
the
confusion
and
distraction
amongst
men
,
or
joyn
in
any
thing
with
them
,
if
so
be
we
are
quickened
in
the
new
life
to
God
,
which
is
a
life
of
love
and
peace
,
and
free
from
such
things
?
and
if
we
are
crucified
in
the
life
to
this
World
,
out
of
which
all
these
confusions
and
strife
doth
arise
,
how
can
we
live
therein
?
and
therefore
these
things
are
nothing
to
us
,
neither
are
we
of
one
party
,
or
against
another
,
to
oppose
any
by
rebellion
,
or
plottings
against
them
,
in
enmity
,
and
striving
with
them
by
Carnal
Weapons
:
nor
to
destroy
any
mens
lives
,
though
our
Enemies
:
so
we
War
not
for
any
,
nor
against
any
,
for
the
matters
of
this
Worlds
Kingdom
.
But
our
Kingdom
is
inward
,
and
our
Weapons
are
spiritual
,
and
our
victory
and
peace
,
is
not
of
this
World
:
And
our
War
is
against
souls
enemies
,
and
against
the
powers
of
darkness
,
even
by
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
,
which
God
hath
given
us
,
and
called
us
to
war
therewith
,
to
convert
people
from
sin
and
death
,
and
from
the
very
occasion
of
wars
and
contentions
about
the
things
that
are
earthly
;
and
this
is
our
calling
and
work
at
this
day
;
and
these
things
all
the
Children
of
the
Lord
are
to
mind
,
and
to
keep
over
the
spirit
of
this
World
in
all
people
,
which
all
this
enmity
,
strife
,
and
confusion
that
is
up
amongst
men
,
lodgeth
in
,
and
out
of
it
ariseth
;
for
these
things
are
the
fruits
of
the
spirit
of
this
evil
and
sinful
World
,
and
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
of
God
are
of
another
nature
,
even
Peace
and
meekness
towards
all
,
and
not
enmity
towards
any
,
in
which
Spirit
let
us
live
and
walk
,
admonishing
all
hereunto
,
and
Praying
for
our
enemies
,
and
not
hating
them
,
but
doing
good
for
evil
,
and
not
rendring
evil
for
evil
;
but
being
meek
and
humble
,
merciful
and
patient
towards
all
:
and
this
is
the
true
Christian
life
learned
of
Christ
,
and
this
life
is
blessed
in
this
World
,
and
in
the
World
to
come
;
and
them
that
live
here
are
redeemed
out
of
the
World
,
wherein
is
Troubles
and
Confusion
,
Wars
and
Strifes
:
But
let
us
not
heed
any
of
these
things
,
for
they
Rise
and
Fall
in
their
season
,
and
are
brought
forth
&
effected
in
the
changable
and
erring
spirit
,
which
worketh
not
the
honour
of
God
,
but
is
in
the
dishonour
to
him
;
And
Friends
,
let
us
be
a
people
separate
from
all
that
live
therein
,
waiting
for
the
deliverance
of
the
holy
seed
,
in
all
:
and
believing
,
that
through
all
these
things
the
Lord
will
set
up
his
Kingdom
;
and
thus
it
must
come
to
pass
,
BABYLON
MUST
FALL
WITH
A
GREAT
NOISE
;
for
in
strife
and
confusion
was
She
builded
,
and
therein
hath
She
long
stood
,
and
thereby
must
She
fall
;
and
Tribulations
must
come
upon
the
Earth
,
that
People
may
learn
to
fear
the
Lord
through
his
Judgements
:
And
he
will
speedily
do
great
things
in
the
World
,
which
cannot
be
believed
by
many
,
if
it
were
told
them
;
for
Hell
and
Death
must
be
destroyed
,
and
both
the
Beast
and
the
Whore
must
be
taken
alive
,
and
cast
into
the
Lake
of
the
anger
of
God
:
But
blessed
are
they
that
do
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
rest
under
his
shadow
,
and
wait
in
his
Counsel
,
and
receive
his
Instructions
;
they
shall
see
the
marvellous
works
of
his
hand
;
but
the
wicked
and
unbelieving
shall
be
turned
into
darkness
,
and
shall
not
see
the
countenance
of
the
Lord
to
refresh
them
,
but
their
sorrow
shall
be
increased
.
And
as
for
me
,
If
I
were
no
more
,
this
is
the
Testimony
of
my
Love
unto
the
Seed
of
God
,
through
these
Nations
,
who
am
a
Companion
to
all
that
travel
after
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
that
seek
the
Lord
in
their
hearts
that
he
may
Rule
;
and
these
things
were
upon
me
,
to
send
amongst
the
Flock
of
God
,
to
be
read
in
all
your
Meetings

AS
concerning
the
Quakers
,
that
are
scornfully
so
called
,
We
are
at
this
day
,
and
have
been
ever
since
we
were
a
People
,
a
poor
despised
and
contemptible
People
,
in
the
eye
of
this
World
,
and
deep
Sufferers
under
the
Injustice
,
and
Cruelties
,
and
Oppressions
both
of
Rulers
Teachers
and
People
,
and
we
have
been
a
prey
to
the
Wicked
,
and
trodden
down
under
the
feet
of
Ambitious
men
,
that
have
been
in
power
in
this
Nation
,
and
have
Ruled
in
force
and
cruelty
over
us
,
and
this
hath
been
ever
since
the
Lord
raised
us
up
to
be
a
People
,
though
we
have
not
been
offensive
to
any
just
Law
,
or
Government
,
or
to
any
sort
of
People
,
otherwise
then
that
we
have
given
our
Witness
against
Sin
and
wickedness
in
all
People
;
but
we
have
not
been
Oppressors
of
others
,
neither
have
we
envied
the
persons
of
any
,
but
in
all
good
Conscience
have
we
walked
towards
all
men
,
doing
no
otherwise
to
any
,
then
we
would
be
done
unto
;
and
this
is
the
very
Law
we
walk
by
towards
all
men
,
desiring
the
good
of
all
,
and
that
all
may
come
to
Repentance
and
be
Saved
;
and
what
we
are
as
unto
the
Lord
,
if
I
should
declare
,
it
could
not
be
believed
by
many
:
But
we
are
his
People
,
and
he
hath
chosen
us
,
and
he
is
our
God
,
and
we
have
believed
in
him
,
and
walked
with
him
in
the
uprightness
of
heart
;
and
we
have
this
Testimony
in
our
own
hearts
,
if
we
die
it
is
for
him
,
and
if
we
live
it
is
to
him
;
and
though
we
have
been
,
and
may
be
clouded
with
the
Reproaches
and
Persecutions
of
an
Uncircumcised
Generation
,
yet
in
the
Lord's
Season
it
shall
be
manifest
even
to
the
World
,
and
to
our
very
Enemies
,
that
we
are
his
People
and
chosen
of
him
,
and
he
in
the
midst
of
us
,
whom
we
serve
and
worship
in
Spirit
,
in
Truth
,
and
in
Righteousness
;
and
this
shall
be
manifest
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
mean
time
we
are
willing
to
bear
,
and
to
suffer
all
things
that
is
put
upon
us
,
for
the
Name
of
the
Lords
sake
.
Query
1.
Whether
you
,
or
any
of
you
that
pretend
to
Inspiration
and
Revelation
,
did
foresee
,
or
was
it
revealed
to
you
,
that
ever
Charles
Stua●●
should
be
proclaimed
King
〈◊〉
Reign
in
England
,
ever
anymore
?
or
whether
or
no
any
of
you
did
believe
it
,
or
could
have
believed
it
by
your
great
Faith
which
you
profess
,
if
it
had
been
told
you
long
ago
?
Answ.
As
for
the
Proclaiming
of
Charles
Stuart
King
,
to
reign
in
England
,
it
was
not
improbable
unto
our
Faith
,
neither
is
it
contrary
to
that
which
some
of
us
hath
seen
;
for
we
know
that
God
respects
neither
persons
nor
names
,
but
doth
give
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
to
whomsoever
he
will
;
and
thus
much
was
said
,
as
See
G.
Fox
his
Paper
directed
to
the
Parliament
and
Army
so
called
.
may
be
seen
in
a
Book
,
called

Good
Counsel
and
Advice
rejected
,
(
and
divers
other
Papers
)
&c.
p.
17.
In
a
Letter
to
Oliver
Cromwel
,
it
is
said
concerning
you
that
are
commonly
called
Cavaliers
;
But
what
and
if
,
for
and
because
of
thy
Wicked●●●●
in
the
sight
of
God
,
he
should
,
raise
them
up
,
and
make
them
Instruments
in
his
Hand
to
accomplish
his
wrath
upon
thee
,
even
like
as
he
made
thee
once
his
Instrument
to
overthrow
them
,
&c.
And
here
the
thing
was
believed
to
be
possible
,
that
the
Lord
might
raise
you
up
again
for
his
pleasure
,
to
fulfil
his
Will
,
because
of
the
wickedness
of
the
Army
and
Nation
;
and
it
is
now
come
to
pass
,
even
as
it
was
seen
and
believed
.
And
also
it
was
expressed
in
a
Letter
,
written
in
the
10th
Mon.
1659.
concernning
them
that
were
your
Enemies
,
and
that
were
at
first
raised
against
you
;
The
very
same
spirit
of
Pride
,
and
Oppression
,
and
Idolatry
is
entred
into
them
,
(
meaning
your
Enemies
)
and
now
lives
in
them
in
as
high
a
measure
as
ever
it
lived
amongst
you
;
and
●●●ir
Iniquities
are
well
nigh
finished
,
and
the
Lord
will
one
way
or
other
correct
&
reprove
them
,
and
they
shall
be
dealt
with
in
like
manner
,
as
they
have
dealt
with
you
;
for
they
were
no
more
then
a
Rod
in
the
Hands
of
the
Lord
for
a
season
,
and
they
must
also
be
broken
and
cast
into
the
Fire
;
and
whether
the
Lord
may
ever
may
make
use
of
you
to
reprove
them
,
as
he
did
of
them
to
reprove
you
,
this
I
determine
not
;
but
leave
it
to
him
who
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
,
by
what
Instrument
he
pleaseth
:
It
is
true
you
have
made
many
Attempts
to
be
revenged
upon
them
,
but
you
have
not
hitherto
prospered
;
but
could
you
be
humbled
,
and
come
into
the
meek
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
then
might
you
prosper
,
but
hitherto
the
Lord
hath
alwayes
defeated
you
,
and
bowed
you
down
under
a
People
as
unworthy
as
others
,
but
their
time
will
come
to
an
end
:
And
submit
unto
the
Will
of
the
Lord
in
what
is
come
to
pass
,
and
seek
not
vengeance
to
your selves
,
and
then
the
Lord
will
avenge
your
Cause
,
for
the
Iniquities
of
your
Adversaries
are
ripe
,
&c.
And
Charles
Stuart
must
either
be
converted
to
God
,
and
ruled
by
him
,
or
else
he
can
never
rightly
rule
for
God
in
this
Nation
;
though
this
I
believe
,
it
is
not
impossible
but
that
he
may
be
a
Rod
upon
them
that
once
smote
him
,
and
their
Oppressions
and
Ambitions
may
receive
a
check
through
him
,
&c.
These
things
were
written
in
a
Letter
to
all
the
people
of
your
part
,
long
before
there
was
any
visible
appearance
,
of
that
which
is
now
come
to
pass
:
whereby
it
doth
appear
that
these
things
in
a
great
measure
were
foreseen
and
prophesied
of
,
and
it
was
believed
as
a
thing
very
possible
,
that
thus
it
might
be
as
is
already
come
to
pass
:
And
as
for
Visions
,
they
are
for
an
appointed
time
,
there
is
a
time
to
see
,
and
a
time
to
speak
what
is
seen
;
and
revealed
things
belong
to
us
,
and
when
we
declare
them
then
you
may
take
notice
of
it
;
but
it
was
verily
believed
as
a
thing
possible
,
that
such
a
thing
would
be
,
and
also
by
the
Proceedings
and
Transactions
as
they
have
fallen
out
;
for
your
very
Enemies
have
so
acted
and
proceeded
as
to
destroy
themselves
,
and
to
bring
you
in
over
their
heads
,
though
they
little
intended
the
thing
,
yet
the
effect
of
their
proceedings
could
hardly
prove
otherwise
then
to
destroy
themselves
,
and
make
room
for
you
,
and
these
things
I
observed
;
And
also
thus
far
we
did
fore-see
,
and
it
was
revealed
to
us
,
and
believed
by
m●●y
of
us
fully
,
and
we
did
often
Prophesie
it
,
that
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
would
destroy
and
bring
down
the
Government
,
and
Authority
as
they
have
stood
in
this
Nation
for
divers
years
,
and
that
he
would
bring
Iudgment
upon
the
Rulers
,
and
upon
many
of
the
Teachers
,
and
People
of
this
Nation
,
because
of
their
oppressions
and
unfaithfulness
,
and
treachery
,
and
hypocrisie
,
and
wickedness
,
which
abounded
amongst
them
,
which
we
have
felt
and
seen
,
and
been
sensible
of
;
and
we
have
often
given
our
witness
against
them
,
because
of
their
guiltiness
in
their
sinful
ways
;
Oh
it
hath
been
loathsome
unto
the
Lord
,
even
the
Oppressions
and
treacheries
of
the
Rulers
!
Oh
how
hath
Cruelty
and
Injustice
abounded
in
their
Government
!
and
their
hypocrisie
hath
been
evident
in
our
●ight
in
many
Particulars
,
and
even
in
that
they
have
cryed
against
and
overthrown
King
and
Kingly
Government
,
charging
them
with
oppression
and
cruelty
,
and
pretended
to
ease
the
people
in
a
better
way
of
Government
,
when
as
though
Governors
and
Names
,
and
Titles
of
Government
,
were
changed
and
altered
,
yet
oppression
ceased
not
,
neither
was
injustice
forsaken
,
nor
was
the
heavy
yoaks
of
great
bondage
removed
:
but
the
rather
these
things
were
increased
upon
many
good
people
in
these
Nati●●s
,
and
herein
was
the
unfaithfulness
,
and
treachery
of
the
Rulers
very
great
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
their
Government
unjust
and
unequal
,
wherefore
the
Lord
hath
been
provoked
against
them
to
confound
them
,
and
overturn
them
,
and
we
have
often
told
it
them
,
and
also
the
hypocrisie
and
deceits
,
and
sinfulness
of
Teachers
,
we
have
seen
and
testified
against
,
and
our
witness
to
them
both
is
and
will
be
found
true
,
and
Gods
justice
will
be
fulfilled
upon
them
both
;
and
these
things
we
have
observed
,
even
the
heinous
guilt
of
sin
against
God
in
both
Rulers
and
Teachers
,
and
the
abo●●●●tions
that
have
been
committed
both
in
Civil
,
and
Church
Government
(
so
called
)
also
,
and
many
people
have
lov'd
to
have
these
things
so
,
and
we
have
been
sensible
how
the
Lord
hath
been
provoked
to
overthrow
the
Governors
of
this
Nation
because
hereof
;
and
this
we
have
foreseen
&
Prophesied
of
,
even
that
Iudgment
and
Confusion
would
come
upon
the
Government
,
the
Rulers
,
and
the
Teachers
;
but
particularly
when
and
after
what
manner
,
judgment
and
overthrow
should
come
upon
them
,
was
left
to
the
Lord
,
who
hath
brought
to
pass
his
own
will
according
to
Justice
,
and
it
may
prove
to
be
a
just
Judgment
from
the
Lord
,
upon
the
Unfaithful
and
Treacherous
,
and
Unjust
Rulers
,
and
Teachers
,
and
People
which
I
have
mentioned
,
and
the
Lord
may
justly
avenge
himself
upon
them
who
have
abused
his
Mercies
,
and
not
improved
his
Deliverance
to
his
glory
,
but
preverted
the
end
wherefore
they
were
at
first
raised
up
;
I
say
the
Lord
may
justly
be
avenged
of
them
by
this
means
,
of
this
mans
coming
in
,
and
he
may
be
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord
a
very
smiting
Rod
to
correct
and
rebuke
,
and
may
be
a
heavy
Judgment
upon
many
in
this
Nation
,
even
from
that
cause
,
and
for
that
end
as
before
I
have
expressed
.

Whether
you
,
or
any
of
you
,
do
adjudge
is
Reasonable
and
Equitable
,
that
●e
should
come
and
inherit
the
Nations
of
which
he
is
born
the
right
Heir
?
Or
whether
or
〈◊〉
it
is
just
or
unjust
to
God
and
men
,
that
he
would
Reign
King
over
these
Nation
?
If
you
walk
and
judge
by
the
Law
of
God
which
is
Equal
,
then
judge
of
this
whether
he
hath
been
kept
out
this
many
Years
,
and
now
is
brought
in
again
Reasonably
and
Iustly
,
or
Unjustly
and
contrary
to
Reason
?
Answ.
That
he
should
come
in
,
is
Reasonable
and
Equitable
,
because
through
the
purpose
of
the
Lord
,
his
coming
in
is
accomplished
,
who
effecteth
nothing
but
what
is
Equal
and
Reasonable
,
and
there
is
cause
in
God
sufficient
wherefore
it
should
thus
be
,
and
there
is
Sufficient
cause
and
Reason
appearing
to
us
in
this
matter
;
and
upon
the
very
account
as
laid
down
in
my
Answer
to
the
first
Query
,
it
is
Equal
as
in
the
Lord
,
that
he
should
be
restored
who
hath
been
removed
and
cast
out
by
such
as
have
pretended
to
Govern
and
Rule
better
than
he
,
but
have
ruled
in
Oppression
and
Injustice
,
and
not
answered
the
cause
wherefore
he
was
cast
out
;
and
that
he
should
come
in
to
be
a
Scourge
upon
these
,
this
is
just
,
and
in
this
particular
doth
lye
the
Reason
and
Equity
of
his
coming
in
to
inherit
this
Nation
.
And
as
for
Reigning
justly
over
this
Nation
,
that
may
better
be
answered
when
we
have
had
experience
of
his
Reign
,
for
if
he
Reign
and
Rule
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
in
Mercy
and
in
Justice
,
and
by
and
according
to
the
Just
Law
of
God
;
if
thus
he
Reign
,
then
he
Reigneth
justly
,
and
it
is
just
to
God
and
men
that
he
should
Reign
,
and
this
the
Law
of
God
which
is
Equal
,
judgeth
,
by
which
we
walk
in
all
things
,
and
do
judge
of
all
things
:
And
as
for
his
being
kept
out
this
many
years
,
we
do
judge
that
the
hand
of
the
Lord
is
in
these
matters
,
and
they
were
done
and
suffered
to
be
done
by
him
,
in
which
he
will
be
glorified
;
yet
,
thus
far
I
say
,
they
that
have
kept
him
out
,
in
pretence
that
they
would
Rule
better
than
he
,
and
yet
have
ruled
in
Oppression
and
Injustice
,
as
much
more
(
may
be
)
then
he
would
have
done
,
they
have
dealed
unjustly
and
contrary
to
reason
,
both
to
him
,
and
much
more
to
the
People
of
these
Nations
,
while
they
have
made
and
had
new
Names
and
Titles
of
Government
and
Governors
,
but
have
continued
the
old
oppressions
,
and
not
releived
the
oppressed
according
to
their
own
vows
and
promises
,
which
they
have
broken
,
and
it
is
but
just
they
should
be
punished
for
it
;
but
if
he
render
not
evil
for
evil
,
he
doth
well
.

Whether
or
no
ye
can
judge
that
his
Reign
and
Government
shall
be
blessed
to
himself
,
and
these
Nations
,
or
the
contrary
?
Or
whether
shall
Peace
or
Trouble
be
in
the
Land
in
his
days
?
And
shall
his
days
be
many
,
or
shall
his
time
be
short
;
if
this
be
revealed
to
you
let
us
know
?
Answ.
We
do
judge
that
his
Reign
and
Government
may
be
blessed
to
himself
and
these
Nations
,
or
not
blessed
;
and
peace
may
be
in
the
Land
,
or
trouble
in
his
dayes
;
and
his
time
may
be
long
,
or
it
may
be
short
;
according
as
he
walketh
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
,
or
as
he
walketh
wickedly
,
and
according
as
his
Reign
and
Government
is
in
Righteousness
,
Mercy
,
and
Truth
,
or
in
Oppression
and
Injustice
,
accordingly
do
I
judge
may
he
be
blessed
,
and
may
have
Peace
,
and
long
dayes
,
or
the
contrary
,
if
he
walk
in
the
way
which
brings
contrary
effects
:
and
we
take
not
upon
us
to
judge
any
thing
before
the
time
,
but
as
thorow
time
he
discovers
himself
,
so
we
may
judge
of
him
,
(
for
we
desire
well
for
him
and
all
men
)
th●●●e
m●y
so
Reign
and
Govern
as
to
be
a
blessing
to
himself
and
these
Nations
,
that
Peace
may
be
in
his
dayes
,
and
his
Time
may
be
happy
:
And
this
we
certainly
know
that
there
is
an
eternal
God
,
who
is
over
all
,
and
that
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
,
even
set
up
and
pull
down
whomsoever
he
will
,
and
though
his
strength
now
be
great
,
and
his
number
very
many
,
yet
there
is
an
Eternal
God
above
all
,
who
is
mighty
to
save
,
and
mighty
to
destroy
,
and
if
he
please
not
God
in
his
ways
,
and
in
his
Reign
,
but
be
an
Oppressor
,
and
walk
in
evil
wayes
,
we
certainly
believe
he
cannot
be
blessed
,
nor
have
Peace
,
nor
long
time
,
but
the
Lord
may
bring
to
pass
the
contrary
;
for
as
the
Scriptures
say
,
it
is
by
him
that
Kings
Reign
,
&
he
makes
Kings
blessed
or
miserable
,
the
Scriptures
gives
much
evidence
concerning
the
good
and
the
bad
Kings
of
Israel
,
they
that
were
good
men
and
Ruled
well
,
they
were
blessed
and
had
long
dayes
,
and
people
were
happy
under
them
;
and
to
the
Kings
that
were
Idolaters
and
Oppressors
,
and
walked
in
wickedness
,
and
vexed
the
Lord
,
it
was
contrary
;
for
the
Lord
cut
them
off
,
and
destroyed
them
,
and
delivered
the
oppressed
;
and
God
is
the
same
now
as
he
was
then
,
as
powerful
to
save
the
Righteous
,
and
as
mighty
to
destroy
the
wicked
;
and
we
rather
desire
that
he
may
follow
the
example
of
the
good
Kings
of
Israel
,
that
the
good
effects
may
follow
,
and
that
he
may
not
follow
the
evil
example
of
Tyrants
and
Oppressors
:
But
and
if
he
do
,
the
effect
and
reward
will
certainly
be
upon
him
,
and
the
Lord
will
rebuke
him
,
and
this
we
know
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
.

Whether
may
be
justly
forgive
,
or
avenge
himself
,
of
his
and
his
Father's
Enemies
;
and
if
he
do
avenge
,
whether
or
no
can
that
be
called
persecution
?
and
if
any
,
or
many
suffer
death
,
or
otherwise
on

sought
to

also

do
such
suffer

some
of
you

for

shall
you
have
Peace
with
God
in

is
it
for
the

of

as

often

Answ.
He
may
justly
in
the
sight
of
God
forgive
his
,
and
his
Father
Enemies
,
and
he
will
be
the
more
blessed
if
he
do
it
;
for
it
is
a
happy
thing
to
forgive
Enemies
,
and
it
is
Christ's
Doctrine
also
to
forgive
Enemies
,
and
it
would
be
a
good
report
unto
him
among
his
Friends
,
and
it
would
win
his
Enemies
,
or
be
a
good
means
towards
it
,
if
he
do
forgive
all
Enemies
,
and
it
will
be
a
good
beginning
of
his
Government
to
remit
Offences
;
though
yet
in
his
heart
he
may
be
perswaded
,
that
he
and
his
Father
have
been
much
injured
,
yet
,
I
say
,
justly
he
〈◊〉
forgive
all
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
also
in
the
sight
of
men
,
as
many
wayes
may
appear
;
even
in
asmuch
as
his
Father
and
he
did
flee
to
the
Sword
,
to
determine
their
Controversie
in
this
Nation
,
and
the
Sword
went
against
them
,
and
did
determine
the
controversie
even
against
them
;
and
that
whereby
they
thought
to
stand
,
they
did
fall
,
and
that
which
they
chused
for
their
defence
,
did
destroy
them
;
and
who
then
shall
they
blame
for
that
which
befel
them
,
seeing
the
Sword
destroyed
them
,
[

But
this
is
not
meant
of
the
King's
Death
.
which
themselves
did
chuse
,
and
thought
thereby
to
stand
,
but
it
determined
the
Controversie
against
them
;
and
if
you
cannot
own
it
,
as
that
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
went
against
you
in
Battel
,
yet
you
must
confess
that
the
fortune
of
War
(
as
some
call
it
)
went
against
you
;
and
must
such
now
suffer
because
hereof
?
nay
,
they
ought
not
,
but
may
rather
be
spared
by
the
King
:
and
inasmuch
as
he
is
restored
again
without
blood
or
loss
of
lives
,
it
may
be
very
just
for
him
not
to
take
away
any
mens
lives
,
but
it
will
be
more
just
to
pass
by
all
old
things
;
and
if
he
have
a
deliverance
,
let
him
turn
it
into
the
praise
of
the
L●●d
in
holiness
,
&
not
into
the
shedding
of
blood
in
the
way
of
a
fierce
revenge
;
and
let
him
leave
it
to
the
Lord
to
avenge
himself
upon
such
as
have
been
his
Enemies
,
and
upon
such
as
●●ve
cast
out
King
and
Kingly
Government
,
and
pretended
to
a
better
Government
,
〈◊〉
to
Govern
more
Righteously
,
and
yet
have
been
Oppressors
,
and
not
answered
their
pretences
pretences
and
engagements
,
but
broken
them
and
acted
contrary
,
by
their
Unfaithfulness
and
Hypocrisie
;
and
in
that
doth
lie
the
justness
of
punishment
if
it
come
upon
them
,
and
if
they
be
punished
with
death
,
or
otherwise
;
if
they
suffer
on
that
account
,
I
say
,
because
they
destroyed
Kingly
Goverment
in
Name
and
Title
,
and
pretended
better
things
,
and
to
Govern
better
,
and
did
not
make

were
Oppressors

as
I

〈◊〉
Suffering
for
that
cause
cannot
be
called
Persecution
,
nor
is
it
for
good
Conscience
,
nor
Righteousness
sake
that
such
do
Suffer
:
But
none
of
us
can
Suffer
for
that
cause
,
as
not
being
guilty
thereof
,
as
in
the
Answer
to
the
next
Query
I
shall
have
full
occasion
to
shew
you
;
but
and
if
we
Suffer
in
your
Government
,
it
is
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
we
shall
have
Peace
with
God
in
it
,
because
nothing
can
be
charged
against
us
in
this
Capacity
as
we
now
stand
,
and
in
this
State
into
which
we
are
now
gathered
and
changed
;
not
in
any
matter
of
Action
or
Rebellion
against
him
nor
his
Father
,
nor
any
thing
but
concerning
the
Law
and
Worship
of
our
God
,
and
the
matters
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
our
pure
Consciences
;
and
if
upon
this
account
we
are
made
to
suffer
by
him
,
and
for
this
cause
,
the
reward
will
be
Sad
and
Heavy
upon
him
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
:
And
if
any
that
are
now
amongst
us
,
were
any
way
engaged
in
the
Parliament
Service
in
the
Wars
,
it
was
not
in
Rebellion
against
him
or
his
Father
,
as
that
we
sought
their
destruction
as
men
,
but
upon
Sober
and
Reasonable
Principles
,
and
not
for
corrupted
ends
,
nor
to
get
Honour
and
Riches
to
our selves
,
as
some
others
might
do
,
who
went
in
the
War
for
self-ends
,
and
continued
in
action
after
the
cause
(
which
was
once
engaged
for
)
was
utterly
lost
,
as
we
have
long
seen
it
;
and
that
principle
which
some
time
led
some
in
action
to
oppose
Oppression
,
and
seek
after
Reformation
,
we
never
have
nor
shall
deny
,
but
that
Principle
is
still
justified
,
though
we
are
now
better
informed
than
once
we
were
:
for
though
we
do
now
more
than
ever
oppose
Oppression
,
and
seek
after
Reformation
,
yet
we
do
it
not
in
that
way
of
outward
Waring
,
and
Fighting
with
Carnal
Weapons
,
and
Swords
;
and
YOU
,
and
the
KING
ought
to
put
a
difference
(
both
in
their
guilt
and
suffering
)
between
such
as
some
time
acted
in
the
Wars
against
you
,
in
and
upon
Sober
and
Reasonable
Principles
,
and
that
did
not
make
themselves
Rich
and
High
in
this
World
through
your
Sufferings

Whether
the
great
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
sustained
by
him
these
divers
years
,
from
the
Subjects
of
his
own
Nation
,
and
the
guilt
thereof
,
do
lie
upon
all
the
Subjects
in
general
?
Or
whether
upon
any
,
or
some
particular
Sects
and
Sorts
of
People
?
(
many
which
now
are
arisen
)
and
if
upon
any
particular
Sect
and
Sort
,
who
are
such
more
then
others
?
distinguish
them
from
others
,
and
clear
your selves
if
you
can
from
th●
guilt
of
his
Sufferings
.
Answ.
As
for
the
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
sustained
by
him
,
so
far
as
they
were
just
and
righteous
Judgments
from
God
,
because
of
Iniquity
,
can
no
man
be
charged
with
,
but
that
is
on
God's
account
,
who
was
pleased
to
chastize
with
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
,
and
no
man
can
be
blamed
with
Injustice
for
that
Affliction
which
cometh
from
the
Hand
of
God
,
upon
whom
Injustice
may
not
be
charged
by
any
one
whatsoever
;
and
so
far
as
his
Sufferings
were
unjust
,
the
guilt
thereof
doth
not
lie
upon
all
the
Subjects
in
general
,
nor
upon
every
particular
sort
of
People
alike
,
but
upon
some
more
then
others
,
and
such
are
easie
to
be
distinguished
from
others
,
if
it
be
considered
who
they
are
that
first
raised
the
War
in
this
Nation
against
the
King
;
and
who
was
it
that
first
preached
and
prayed
up
the
War
,
and
prosecuted
it
against
his
Father
?
And
who
is
it
that
cast
out
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
from
their
Places
,
and
took
their
Revenues
and
Benefices
,
and
are
become
men
as
corrupted
,
as
covetous
,
and
self-seeking
,
as
proud
and
ambitious
,
as
unjust
Persecutors
as
ever
the
men
were
which
they
cast
out
?
and
the
guilt
is
partly
upon
such
who
cast
out
others
in
pretence
of
Reformation
,
but
did
it
no●
A●●
who
is
it
that
hath
gotten
great
Estates
in
this
Nation
,
and
Worldly
Honour
,
and
raised
themselves
from
nothing
by
the
Wars
,
and
by
your
Suffering
,
and
became
ambitious
and
insulting
over
others
,
though
they
first
began
the
War
in
this
Nation
,
and
pretended
great
Reformation
in
the
Civil
State
,
as
well
as
the
other
had
done
in
Church
State
?
And
who
got
the
Estates
and
Titles
of
their
Enemies
,
and
pretended
to
free
this
Nation
from
all
Oppressions
,
but
have
not
done
it
,
but
have
continued
the
old
Oppressions
,
and
have
been
striving
among
themselves
who
should
Rule
,
and
who
should
be
great
,
but
have
not
Ruled
for
God
,
nor
in
Justice
and
Equity
,
though
they
first
Warred
against
the
King
,
and
carryed
it
on
,
and
removed
the
King
and
Lords
,
and
that
Goverment
,
and
all
this
in
pretence
of
Ruling
better
,
and
in
a
better
Government
,
and
yet
kept
not
Engagements
,
nor
Promises
made
in
that
case
?
Upon
such
is
the
guilt
of
the
Suffering
of
the
King
,
so
far
as
his
Sufferings
are
unjust
,
even
upon
Hypocrites
,
who
have
walked
in
these
steps
,
who
as
I
have
said
,
first
made
war
against
the
King
,
and
got
great
Estates
,
and
quite
forgotten
the
cause
once
pretended
by
them
,
and
now
in
flattery
,
Cries
up
King
and
Kingly
Government
again
,
though
this
many
years
they
have
seemed
to
be
opposite
against
it
;
upon
such
as
these
may
the
guilt
aforesaid
in
measure
be
charged
:
And
though
there
are
risen
many
Sects
and
Sorts
of
People
since
the
beginning
of
the
Wars
,
yet
in
the
beginning
there
was
but
one
sort
that
were
in
a
capacity
to
raise
and
prosecute
War
against
the
King
;
and
upon
such
there
is
guilt
to
be
charged
in
the
sight
of
God
,
who
have
foregone
their
Principles
,
and
been
deceitful
both
to
God
and
men
:
And
as
for
Us
who
are
called
Quakers
,
we
are
clear
from
the
guilt
of
all
his
Sufferings
,
and
in
the
present
Capacity
wherein
we
now
stand
,
and
under
the
actings
of
that
Spirit
which
now
we
are
of
,
we
have
no
part
in
the
guilt
of
these
Iniquities
;
we
have
not
cast
out
others
,
and
taken
their
places
of
great
Benefices
,
neither
have
we
made
war
with
carnal
Weapons
against
any
,
never
since
we
were
a
People
,
(
mark
)
neither
have
we
broken
Oaths
and
Engagements
,
nor
promised
freedom
and
deliverance
,
and
for
self-ends
,
and
Earthly
Riches
betrayed
,
as
others
have
done
,
what
we
pretended
to
;
and
in
many
particulars
it
doth
appear
,
that
we
are
clear
from
his
Sufferings
;
for
we
have
been
a
Suffering
People
,
as
well
as
they
,
by
the
same
Spirit
which
caused
them
to
suffer
,
which
hath
been
much
more
Cruel
,
Wicked
,
and
Unjust
towards
us
,
than
it
hath
been
towards
them
,
though
our
Persecution
hath
been
in
another
manner
;
but
what
they
have
done
against
us
we
can
freely
forgive
them
,
and
we
would
have
you
to
follow
the
same
example
;
and
if
you
could
accuse
them
in
many
things
,
so
could
we
;
but
this
is
not
a
time
to
accuse
one
another
,
but
to
forgive
one
another
,
and
so
to
overcome
your
Enemies
,
or
else
you
will
appear
in
the
same
Spirit
,
that
so
he
that
condemns
them
cannot
justifie
you
,
though
we
do
condemn
as
well
as
you
,
them
that
have
pretended
Reformation
,
and
Wared
against
you
upon
that
account
,
and
when
they
had
gotten
victory
did
not
reform
,
but
become
Oppressors
themselves
as
well
as
others
,
and
became
Cruel
towards
others
,
that
would
not
say
and
do
as
they
;
and
for
this
Cause
the
Lord
hath
brought
them
down
,
and
may
justly
suffer
others
to
deal
with
them
as
they
have
dealt
with
others
;
yet
notwithstanding
I
must
still
say
,
and
it
is
my
judgment
,
that
there
was
very
great
Oppressions
and
Vexations
under
the
Government
of
the
late
King
,
and
Bishops
under
his
power
,
which
the
Lord
was
offended
with
,
and
many
good
People
Oppressed
by
,
for
which
cause
the
Lord
might
and
did
justly
raise
up
some
to
oppose
,
and
strive
against
Oppressions
and
Injustice
,
and
to
intend
and
press
after
Reformation
in
all
things
;
and
that
Principle
of
Sincerity
which
God
did
raise
in
many
in
the
beginning
of
the
Wars
,
which
in
some
things
acted
them
forth
,
and
carryed
them
on
in
opposing
Oppressions
,
and
pressing
after
Reformation
,
this
Principle
I
can
never
deny
,
but
acknowledge
to
it
,
though
many
soon
lost
it
,
and
became
Self-seekers
,
forgetting
and
foregoing
the
Cause
pretended
to
,
having
lost
Sincerity
,
and
became
corrupted
in
their
way
,
and
Injustice
and
Oppression
abounded
by
them
,
and
because
hereof
are
they
condemned
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
not
by
me
Justified
,
because
they
have
lost
Sincerity
,
and
turned
the
War
,
and
all
the
Proceedings
into
Self-seeking
;
and
therefore
is
God
provoked
against
them
,
though
had
they
continued
in
their
Integrity
,
and
had
really
performed
what
some
time
they
pretended
,
and
had
forsaken
all
Sin
,
it
had
not
been
thus
with
them
,
neither
had
this
guilt
been
upon
them
,
which
now
they
are
like
to
be
accountable
for
:
And
this
is
my
Judgment
concerning
these
things
.

Whether

may
iustly
(

Answ.
We
do
believe
he
may

justly

with
most
safety
to
himself
,
and
happiness
to
the
Kingdoms
,
Tollerate
and
Allow
free
LIBERTY
of
CONSCIENCE
in
all
the

and
Worship
towards
God
;
for
LIBERTY
in
exercise
of
CONSCIENCE
,
in
the
Matters
of
God's
Kingdom
,
is
a
very
precious
thing
to
the
Lord
,
and
very
dear
in
his
sight
,
and
he
is
tender
of
it
;
and
I
do
stedfastly
believe
,
he
will
not
bless
the
Rulers
of
this
Nation
,
that
shall
deny
(
to
the
People
of
this
Nation
)
and
oppose
LIBERTY
of
CONSCIENCE
in
the
exercise
of
Faith
and
Worship
towards
God
;
for
I
do
know
it
is
not
given
of
God
to
any
Earthly
King
or
Ruler
whatsoever
,
to
exercise
.
Lordship
over
the
Consciences
of
People
in
the
Matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
the
things
pertaining
to
Gods
Kingdom
;
for
Kings
and
Rulers
,
are
but
to
Rule
over
men
in
a
Nation
,
in
the
Matters
between
one
man
and
another
,
in
outward
things
and
worldly
affairs
;
and
therein
only
men
ought
to
Rule
in
Equity
over
a
Nation
,
or
City
,
or
Country
;
and
Magistracy
in
this
state
,
and
for
such
an
end
is
Gods
Ordinance
appointed
of
him
,
for
the
preserving
of
peace
and
good
order
among
men
in
outward
things
;
and
it
is
a
priviledge
of
the
Crown
of
Christ's
Spiritual
Kingdom
,
to
be
Lord
and
Ruler
over
and
in
mens
Consciences
,
in
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
all
the
Matters
of
his
Kingdom
,
even
as
and
according
to
his
pleasure
,
and
as
his
Spirit
leads
and
guides
,
for
and
if
any
man
shall
assume
to
prescribe
God
a
way
how
he
must
be
Worshipped
,
and
shall
limit
his
Spirit
from
this
,
or
to
the
other
way
of
Religion
,
and
think
to
be
Lord
in
mens
Consciences
in
religious
Matters
,
such
are
but
Usurpers
,
and
are
not
well-pleasing
to
the
Lord
(
in
such
their
way
and
Government
)
if
they
oppress
mens
Consciences
,
by
limiting
from
,
or
compelling
to
any
such
way
of
Worship
or
kind
of
Religion
;
neither
are
they
Ordained
to
Rule
among
men
for
that
end
,
not
to
be
King
and
Judge
,
and
Law-giver
in
Heavenly
and
spiritual
Matters
;
and
this
ought
not
CHARLES
(
the
King
)
to
do
〈◊〉
but
and
if
he
do
it
,
and
will
not
let
Christ
alone
be
the
Head
over
his
Church
,
it
cannot
be
with
safety
to
himself
,
nor
happiness
to
the
Kingdoms
,
〈◊〉
justly
in
the
sight
of
God
,
but
it
will
work
contrary
effects
:
And
he
may

ought
to
Tollerate

Allow
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
matters
of
God's

,
to
all
sorts
of
People
and
Worshippers
,
that
are
〈◊〉
this
Nation

and
let
him
mind
God's
Wisdom
,
how
to
keep
the
Nations
in
peace
and
good
order
,
in
all
outward
and
civil
Affairs
,
between
man
and
man
,
and
between
one
sort
of
People
and
another
,
that
none
destroy
each
others
persons
or
estates
,
nor
be
Oppressors
one
of
another
in
outward
and
earthly
Matters
,
and
that
is
the
place
and
priviledge
of
a
just
King
and
Ruler
upon
Earth
;
and
to
leave
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
Duty
towards
God
,
as
every
one
is
perswaded
in
their
own
Consciences
is
the
right
Way
;
whether
they
will
read
the
Common-Prayer
,
or
Preach
and
Pray
after
the
order
of
the
Directory
,
or
otherwise
;
Or
whether
they
will
meet
in
silence
without
words
;
and
let
all
these
enjoy
their
way
of
Religion
and
Worship
in
outward
peace
,
and
not
kill
one
another
about
their
Religion
,
Worship
,
Church
and
Ministry
,
nor
imprison
and
persecute
one
another
about
these
things
;
but
let
them
all
be
preserved
as
men
,
living
in
peace
one
with
another
in
all
outward
relations
,
and
yielding
Subjection
to
good
Laws
which
concern
their
outward
man
,
and
their
peace
and
well-being
,
as
Subjects
of
a
Nation
;
but
there
ought
to
be
no
Law
of
Bondage
and
Force
,
nor
violent
Impositions
by
any
man
concerning
Religion
;
for
the
Lord
alone
is
sufficient
to
give
Prescriptions
and
Laws
to
his
People
,
how
he
may
be
served
and
worshipped
;
and
this
is
the
way
of
good
Government
in
this
Nation
,
that
only
the
outward
man
in
outward
things
be
Governed
,
and
all
Matters
of
Conscience
in
spiritual
things
be
left
unto
God
,
that
his
Spirit
may
therein
onely
rule
and
have
the
preheminence
;
and
if
the
King
do
Rule
thus
,
he
may
be
more
blessed
;
and
in
that
this
Nation
hath
his
word
for
LIBERTY
of
CONSCIENCE
,
it
is
expected
;
for
because
this
hath
been
wanting
,
(
to
wit
)
the
allowance
of
LIBERTY
of
CONSCIENCE
in
spiritual
Matters
,
because
of
this
,
have
been
much
strife
,
and
contention
,
and
heart-burnings
in
the
Nation
,
while
some
Sects
of
People
have
been
tollerated
and
upheld
,
and
others
persecuted
for
their
Religion-sake
by
Law
;
and
this
was
one
of
the
chief
causes
wherefore
the
Presbyterians
(
so
called
)
first
raised
War
against
the
Bishops
,
even
because
they
could
not
be
tollerated
,
but
were
persecuted
,
while
the
other
were
guarded
and
defended
by
Law
;
and
this
was
a
great
cause
of
enmity
,
which
if
the
Presbyterians
(
so
called
)
could
have
had
Liberty
and
Tolleration
at
that
day
,
for
their
Worship
and
Faith
,
it
is
possible
the
War
against
the
Bishops
had
not
so
far
proceeded
;
though
when
they
had
gotten
Victory
,
they
were
no
less
furions
towards
the
Bishops
to
destroy
them
,
than
the
other
had
been
once
against
them
;
and
this
arose
by
reason
of
persecuting
for
Conscience
sake
,
because
all
had
not
Liberty
in
the
exercise
of
Spiritual
things
,
which
if
the
King
had
declared
it
●●at
day
Equal
Liberty
to
both
,
in
Matters
of
their
Faith
and
Religion
,
and
yet
ruled
over
both
in
outward
affairs
,
and
had
Authority
over
the
Persons
and
Estates
in
Matters
not
related
in
Spiritual
Worship
,
but
left
them
therein
free
,
and
in
their
Religion
;
by
such
means
the
War
might
have
been
stopped
,
and
not
proceeded
so
far
as
it
did
,
and
into
such
destruction
;
and
this
being
now
well
considered
,
may
be
an
Example
to
prevent
the
like
hereafter
:
So
that
〈◊〉
●●y
,
it
cannot
be
for
his
safety
,
nor
for
the
good
of
the
Kingdoms
,
to
Tollerate
some
sorts
of
People
,
and
Religions
,
and
Persecute
others
,
for
that
will
be
the
very
cause
of
strife
among
men
,
it
will
provoke
one
sort
to
destroy
another
,
and
it
will
provoke
the
Lord
God
against
the
King
and
his
Government
,
to
destroy
them
both
;
Therefore
to
reduce
the
Government
of
the
Church
into
the
State
,
as
it
stood
under
the
Bishops
in
his
Fathers
dayes
,
and
to
prohibit
all
others
that
may
differ
in
Judgment
from
that
,
this
is
not
the
way
for
Peace
and
happiness
in
these
Nations
,
nor
the
way
that
will
be
blessed
to
the
Government
;
neither
can
the
Bishops
and
Prelates
justly
themselves
desire
it
,
that
only
they
and
their
Church-Government
,
should
be
Imposed
and
Tollerated
,
and
all
besides
Prohibited
;
for
this
is
not
doing
to
others
as
they
would
be
done
unto
;
and
I
may
hope
that
their
suffering
this
divers
years
,
may
have
taught
them
the
worth
of
Liberty
to
themselves
,
and
so
,
that
they
will
allow
to
others
(
if
it
be
in
their
power
)
the
same
which
they
have
desired
themselves
,
in
their
time
of
suffering
;
and
they
having
tasted
of
some
Subjection
in
Adversity
,
they
know
the
better
how
to
behave
themselves
in
time
of
prosperity
;
and
they
may
compare
others
with
their
own
state
,
and
may
judge
that
others
will
as
much
desire
Liberty
,
and
from
as
good
Principles
,
i●
their
Worship
and
Faith
,
as
themselves
would
have
enjoyed
it
in
times
past
;
and
they
may
have
learned
to
be
good
to
others
in
that
case
,
for
which
themselves
have
suffered
,
and
not
cause
others
to
suffer
for
that
thing
about
which
themselves
have
suffered
:
And
I
do
conclude
,
that
he
may
justly
and
with
more
safty
and
happiness
to
his
Government
,
Tollerate
and
Allow
LIBERTY
of
CONSCIENCE
in
the
Exercise
of
Faith
and
Worship
towards
God
,
in
all
spiritual
Matters
,
even
to
all
sorts
of
People
in
this
Nation
,
and
let
him
defend
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
from
the
wrong
one
of
another
,
by
wholsome
Law
;
and
let
each
sort
defend
themselves
in
their
Faith
and
Worship
,
in
their
Church
and
Ministry
,
by
their
soundest
Arguments
,
and
the
best
spiritual
weapons
they
have
;
and
thus
should
it
be
blessed
to
the
Government
:
And
whatsoever
sort
or
sect
of
People
are
not
contented
with
this
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
Allow
the
same
Liberty
to
others
in
Faith
and
Worship
,
which
they
do
desire
themselves
,
are
not
worthy
themselves
to
be
allowed
Liberty
unto
;
and
this
every
reasonable
man
may
judge
.

Lastly
,
what
is
your
Iudgement
;
(
if
ye
da●e
declare
it
)
concerning
the
Times
and
Seasons
,
and
the
present
motions
of
them
?
And
what
are
your
Observations
of
the
present
proceedings
?
Are
the
present
Times
and
seasons
,
and
the
proceedings
and
transactions
in
Mercy
,
or
in
Iudgment
to
the
King
,
and
his
Subiects
?
If
in
Mercy
,
to
whom
is
it
Mercy
?
And
if
in
Iudgment
,
who
are
they
to
whom
these
things
are
so
?
If
ye
be
not
faint-hearted
declare
your
minds
,
now
in
your
last
dayes
(
as
many
think
)
for
many
say
,
that
your
ruin
is
nigh
come
;
and
if
it
be
not
so
,
many
are
deceived
?
Answ.
Yes
,
we
dare
declare
our
judgment
concerning
the
Times
and
seasons
,
for
we
have
received
the
Judgment
of
Truth
in
our
Spirits
,
and
never
have
been
,
nor
are
we
afraid
to
declare
the
Truth
,
so
far
as
Truth
is
necessary
to
be
declared
;
and
we
say
the
times
and
seasons
are
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
motions
of
them
are
very
swift
;
and
the
Lord
gives
to
whom
,
and
takes
from
whom
,
(
times
and
seasons
)
as
he
pleaseth
,
even
as
it
were
in
an
instant
●oth
the
Lord
give
,
and
change
,
and
alter
,
Times
,
Authorities
,
and
things
;
and
mortal
man
ought
not
to
glory
in
Times
or
Seasons
,
as
if
they
were
certain
and
unchangeable
to
him
;
for
behold
the
Motions
of
Times
flyeth
away
,
and
Seasons
removeth
their
course
,
and
the
most
confident
of
men
have
no
certainty
thereof
,
and
that
because
they
are
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord
that
turneth
them
about
,
and
often
contrary
to
mens
will
and
pleasure
;
and
therefore
,
〈◊〉
every
man
be
good
in
his
Time
,
and
fulfil
she
Will
of
the
Lord
in
his
Season
,
before
Ti●●
and
Season
be
no
more
,
but
removed
from
them
.
And
as
for
our
Observations
,
they
are
very
many
of
the
present
Proceedings
and
Transactions
:
First
,
we
do
observe
,
that
there
is
not
any
thing
of
all
these
Transactions
that
are
come
to
pass
,
but
there
is
a
secret
hand
of
the
Lord
God
,
through
them
,
and
in
them
;
either
doing
of
them
,
or
suffering
of
them
to
be
done
;
and
either
as
the
cause
by
secret
purpose
,
or
as
the
means
of
their
accomplishment
;
it
is
not
without
him
that
these
things
cometh
to
pass
,
but
his
Eye
and
his
Hand
is
over
them
,
and
that
man
is
only
blessed
which
hath
respect
unto
him
in
all
these
things
,
that
he
may
do
or
suffer
for
the
Lord
,
and
that
he
may
not
rebel
against
him
,
in
what
is
brought
to
pass
by
him
.
Secondly
,
we
observe
how
that
the
Lord
hath
given
unto
many
men
a
Day
and
a
Time
,
and
tried
them
what
they
would
do
for
him
,
and
whether
they
would
rule
in
Righteousness
,
and
in
Equity
,
but
many
have
proved
deceitfull
,
and
not
answered
to
the
Lord
what
he
expected
from
them
;
and
therefore
the
Lord
hath
confounded
them
in
their
Counsels
,
and
suffered
them
to
clash
one
against
another
,
and
made
them
overthrow
one
another
;
and
one
self-seeking
man
hath
been
the
ruin
of
another
(
as
bad
as
himself
)
and
even
many
by
their
own
proceedings
have
prepared
a
rod
and
judgment
even
for
themselves
,
and
through
their
blindness
of
heart
,
which
they
have
been
given
up
to
,
because
of
their
wickedness
,
they
have
destroyed
themselves
,
and
given
their
very
Enemies
advantage
over
them
to
afflict
them
,
and
this
we
have
observed
of
present
Proceedings
.
Thirdly
,
We
observe
that
there
is
a
rude
prophane
spirit
,
highly
abounding
thoughout
this
Nation
,
that
brings
forth
much
bad
fruit
,
as
drunkenness
and
wickedness
in
a
great
measure
,
which
may
justly
provoke
the
Lord
to
wrath
and
indignation
against
the
Land
,
if
it
be
not
forsaken
,
though
it
be
lifted
up
in
this
wonderful
rudeness
in
a
pretence
of
glorying
on
the
behalf
of
the
King
,
and
his
Government
;
yet
it
vexeth
the
Lord
and
it
works
Sorrow
in
the
hearts
of
many
Sober
People
who
are
pondering
what
the
End
of
this
Government
may
be
,
that
is
thus
rude
and
prophane
in
its
beginning
,
saying
in
their
hearts
,
how
shall
the
Lord
bless
these
proceedings
,
and
make
the
end
of
them
happy
,
which
are
thus
void
of
the
fear
of
God
in
the
first
part
of
them
;
and
if
a
stop
be
not
put
,
and
a
limitation
upon
the
Spirit
,
it
will
provoke
the
Lord
to
work
sudden
destruction
,
and
overthrow
the
Nation
.
Fourthly
,
We
observe
,
that
many
Hypocrites
and
double-minded
men
,
are
afraid
,
and
terror
hath
Surprized
them
,
who
have
taken
the
profession
of
such
or
such
a
Religion
,
on
them
for
a
Cloak
and
hath
been
in
the
shew
of
Righteousness
for
earthly
ends
,
such
are
afraid
,
and
their
ends
are
frustrated
,
and
they
are
turned
into
confusion
and
a
prophane
Spirit
abounding
over
their
Hypocrisie
,
and
such
will
deny
their
Principles
,
and
their
Faith
,
and
will
fawn
and
flatter
to
save
themselves
,
and
this
is
abominable
;
but
men
that
have
been
and
are
upright
and
sincere
towards
God
in
their
way
,
they
are
not
afraid
,
but
are
confident
in
the
Lord
,
and
are
given
up
in
his
will
,
whether
to
do
or
suffer
for
his
Name
sake
,
and
they
have
no
terror
upon
them
because
of
any
guilt
,
because
they
have
been
upright
,
in
that
way
which
they
were
perswaded
to
be
right
,
and
such
live
in
a
patient
and
quiet
life
,
and
are
contented
whatsoever
comes
to
pass
,
because
they
have
the
Witness
,
that
they
have
not
followed
their
Religion
for
self-ends
,
nor
taken
the
name
of
Righteousness
for
a
Cloak
,
as
many
others
have
,
upon
whom
this
overturning
falls
very
heavy
.
And
these
things
,
with
many
more
the
like
,
we
do
observe
from
the
present
transactions
which
are
faln
out
in
Mercy
to
some
,
and
in
Judgment
to
others
,
even
a
Judgment
upon
all
that
do
not
fear
the
Lord
,
but
walk
in
wickedness
,
and
that
have
been
Hypocrites
,
and
Hard-hearted
,
and
Cruel
,
and
to
all
that
do
not
repent
of
their
sins
,
these
things
,
and
the
end
of
them
,
are
,
and
shall
be
great
Judgments
,
and
shall
be
turned
into
bitterness
,
even
their
joy
,
and
rejoycing
,
into
howling
,
and
great
Lamentation
,
this
shall
be
the
end
unto
all
the
Ungodly
;
but
unto
all
that
fear
the
Lord
,
and
depart
from
Iniquity
,
even
unto
such
the
end
of
all
these
things
shall
be
good
,
even
Mercy
●●d
Peace
,
and
their
Sorrow
shall
be
turned
into
Ioy
.
And
as
for
us
,
we
are
not
faint-hearted
,
though
it
be
supposed
that
we
are
in
our
last
dayes
,
and
as
though
our
ruin
were
nigh
to
come
;
but
we
believe
otherwise
,
for
we
have
clearness
of
Conscience
towards
God
and
all
men
,
and
walk
in
Faith
and
patience
,
and
knowing
this
assuredly
,
that
if
we
be
persecuted
and
afflicted
in
Person
or
Estate
,
by
you
that
are
now
in
power
,
yet
it
is
for
Righteousness
s●ke
,
and
for
the
Lords
sake
,
and
not
for
the
guilt
of
any
Rebellion
against
you
,
that
you
have
,
or
ever
can
have
to
charge
upon
us
,
for
we
cannot
be
found
in
these
things
;
for
we
can
neither
secretly
flatter
to
make
peace
with
you
,
neither
can
we
●●●●ly
rebel
against
you
,
or
resist
you
;
but
as
our
right
from
God
and
you
,
we
claim
the
LIBERTY
of
the
Exercise
OF
OUR
CONSCIENCES
,
in
the
Maters
of
Faith
,
and
a
holy
Life
towards
God
,
that
we
may
mind
the
things
of
God's
Kingdom
,
and
may
so
walk
and
worship
,
as
to
have
peace
with
God
in
our
Consciences
,
that
no
burden
of
Sin
and
Iniquity
may
lie
upon
us
,
but
that
we
may
Live
and
Die
in
Peace
with
God
,
this
is
all
we
claim
of
you
:
But
and
if
you
will
not
allow
it
us
,
but
will
persecute
us
,
and
seek
to
destroy
us
only
for
our
Conscience-sake
,
and
because
of
our
Faith
and
Religion
,
if
you
do
make
and
execute
Laws
against
us
,
in
opposition
to
the
Law
of
our
God
,
that
you
may
take
an
occasion
against
us
to
destroy
us
because
thereof
,
then
Innocent
blood
and
cruel
suffering
will
be
upon
you
,
and
the
weight
of
it
will
〈◊〉
into
confussion
,
when
your
measure
is
full
;
and
if
you
should
destroy
these
vessels
,
yet
our
Principles
you
can
never
extinguish
,
but
they
will
live
for
ever
,
and
enter
into
other
bodies
to
live
,
and
speak
and
act
through
other
vessels
;
for
our
Principles
are
standing
and
unchangeable
through
Ages
,
and
Generations
,
and
may
be
clouded
but
can
never
be
extinguished
,
for
every
man
hath
a
Light
in
his
Conscience
which
Christ
hath
inlightened
them
withal
;
which
Light
reproves
Men
for
sin
,
and
with
it
they
know
they
should
not
Lye
nor
Swear
,
nor
be
Drunk
,
nor
deal
doubbly
,
nor
walk
in
any
sin
:
but
and
if
they
do
these
things
,
and
live
contrary
to
the
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
,
then
they
deny
Christ
and
are
unbelievers
,
and
they
are
condemned
,
and
have
trouble
in
their
Consciences
;
but
if
men
do
own
that
Light
in
their
Consciences
which
doth
reprove
them
for
sin
,
then
it
leads
them
to
Repentance
,
and
to
the
forsaking
of
all
sin
,
and
they
cease
from
all
Iniquity
,
and
receive
Iesus
Christ
and
his
blood
to
cleanse
them
.
And
the
Light
of
the
Spirit
of
God
leads
them
into
all
Truth
,
to
do
,
and
speak
the
Truth
in
all
things
,
and
then
he
hath
peace
with
God
in
his
Conscience
:
And
these
are
some
of
our
Principles
,
which
can
never
be
Subdued
by
all
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
though
the
vessels
which
now
retain
these
were
cut
off
,
yet
these
Principles
are
unchangeable
in
themselves
,
and
can
never
be
extinguished
;
so
that
this
our
Religion
cannot
come
to
ruin
,
but
they
that
think
so
,
they
are
indeed
deceived
,
and
whosoever
shall
seek
to
destroy
that
which
Gods
purpose
is
to
exalt
,
wo
shall
be
unto
them
;
and
as
they
purpose
towards
others
so
shall
it
come
upon
them
from
the
Lord
in
his
Day
and
Season
.
And
thus
I
have
answered
the
Queries
directed
to
the
Quakers
,
and
subscribed

Tr●●ite
hanc
Amico
Regis
,
and
I
do
desire
that
the
Friend
of
the
King
,
and
all
his
Friends
,
and
he
himself
,
may
receive
and
read
over
these
my
Answers
,
and
may
consider
them
in
coolness
and
moderation
,
for
they
may
be
to
their
Edification
if
they
be
Sober
minded
.
I
am
a
Friend
unto
all
men
as
men
and
creatures
,
and
a
lover
of
all
Souls
,
and
am
in
Principles
and
Practises
one
of
them
scornfully

E.
B.
An
Objection
Answered
,
concerning
the
Kings
Supremacy
.
ANd
whereas
it
is
Objected
by
some
,
Whether
or
no
we
will
be
obedient
Subject
,
accepting
of
him
as
our
Lawful
King
,
and
own
his
Supremacy
,
and
will
obey
him
willingly
or
unwillingly
,
and
be
Subjects
in
Conscience
,
or
against
our
Consciences
?
Answ.
It
is
our
Principle
,
and
hath
ever
been
our
Practise
,
to
be
obedient
Subjects
to
whatsoever
Power
or
Authority
of
man
,
or
men
,
as
have
been
in
being
over
us
,
either
by
doing
and
fulfilling
their
just
Commands
,
or
by
suffering
under
their
Commands
which
have
been
unjust
,
and
thus
we
are
perswaded
and
resolved
in
the
Lord
to
continue
,
even
to
be
obedient
to
the
Commands
of
Men
in
Authority
,
which
are
just
,
and
according
to
our
Consciences
;
but
and
if
any
thing
or
matter
be
required
of
us
,
and
Imposed
upon
us
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
and
our
Consciences
,
that
we
must
fulfil
by
Suffering
whatsoever
is
put
upon
us
by
him
,
or
any
under
him
;
and
so
we
own
him
and
accept
him
,
as
knowing
and
believing
,
that
he
is
set
to
rule
in
this
Nation
,
not
without
,
but
by
,
and
according
to
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
he
hath
secretly
purposed
and
suffered
the
accomplishing
of
these
things
;
and
thus
we
account
that
he
is
CHIEF
MAGISTRATE
,
because
these
things
are
effected
through
the
Lord's
Power
,
who
doth
whatsoever
he
will
,
and
we
do
own
that
he
is
set
and
proclaimed
to
be
the
Head
and
Supream
over
this
Nation
,
in
Civil
and
Outward
Affairs
and
Matters
,
and
in
those
things
that
are
related
to
the
outward
man
;
and
all
his
Commands
which
are
just
we
can
willingly
be
subject
unto
,
even
in
Conscience
,
and
all
hi●
Commads
which
are
otherwise
,
we
are
willingly
and
in
our
Consciences
contented
in
patience
to
bear
what
men
shall
put
upon
us
;
and
thus
we
do
accept
of
the
King
and
his
Government
,
as
he
,
and
it
,
are
according
to
God
,
and
answerable
unto
him
,
if
it
be
so
,
we
are
willingly
,
and
in
Conscience
accepting
thereof
,
and
shall
be
obedient
Subjects
thereunto
;
but
if
it
be
otherwise
,
that
is
to
say
,
if
he
Rule
in
Tyranny
and
Oppression
,
and
his
Government
be
unjust
and
unrighteous
,
and
contrary
to
God
,
then
we
must
give
our
witness
against
him
,
and
it
;
yet
not
so
,
as
by
outward
opposition
,
and
rebellion
,
to
seek
the
overthrow
of
him
or
the
Government
by
Carnal
Weapons
;
but
shall
patiently
bear
,
and
that
for
Conscience
sake
,
all
that
cruelty
,
and
injustice
,
and
suffering
,
which
can
be
imposed
upon
us
:
And
as
for
owning
his
Supremacy
,
if
it
be
meant
his
Supremacy
over
the
Church
,
as
if
he
were
Head
of
the
Church
,
and
were
Supream
Law-giver
and
Iudge
,
and
King
in
Church-State
,
as
to
give
and
prescribe
Law
for
Worship
and
Faith
,
and
to
pass
all
Judgement
in
matters
that
are
Spiritual
,
and
appertaining
to
Conscience
,
and
about
the
things
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
if
by
his
Supremacy
this
be
meant
,
and
intended
thus
;
we
cannot
own
his
Supremacy
,
but
must
deny
it
,
and
we
do
ascribe
Supremacy
only
to
IESUS
CHRIST
,
in
,
and
concerning
all
these
things
mentioned
,
and
that
he
alone
is
Iudge
,
and
King
,
and
Law-giver
in
all
the
matters
concerning
his
own
Spiritual
Kingdom
,
and
he
must
prescribe
for
us
Faith
and
Worship
and
must
be
the
only
Iudge
in
all
cases
of
Conscience
and
Spiritual
matters
,
and
not
Charles
Stuart
King
of
England
,
&c.
not
any
other
man
upon
the
Earth
;
for
let
it
not
be
understood
that
we
deny
his
Supremacy
in
opposition
to
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
as
if
we
should
own
the
Popes
Supremacy
over
the
Church
,
for
that
we
do
not
,
nor
any
man
upon
the
Earth
,
as
I
have
said
,
but
only
IESUS
CHRIST
is
principal
in
that
relation
,
and
to
him
we
give
the
Dominion
in
all
the
cases
of
his
own
Kingdom
;
but
if
owning
his
Supremacy
it
be
intended
,
whether
we
will
own
him
to
be
Head
and
Ruler
,
as
in
the
affairs
of
his
Nation
,
pertaining
to
mens
Persons
and
Estate
,
without
any
relation
to
the
Worship
of
God
,
or
matters
of
Conscience
,
so
we
own
him
,
as
I
have
before
mentioned
,
and
must
be
Subject
for
:
Conscience-sake
in
fulfilling
all
his
commands
whatsoever
,
either
by
doing
or
suffering
;
and
this
is
our
principle
which
we
are
perswaded
in
,
and
resolved
herein
to
continue
and
abide
.
To
Charles
Stuart
,
who
is
Proclaimed
King
,
and
to
all
You
that
are
called
and
known
by
the
Name
of
Royal-Party
and
Cavaleirs
,
and
who
have
Suffered
in
your
Cause
,
and
for
your
Principles
Friends
,
THe
Lord
God
who
is
greater
than
all
,
that
doth
whatsoever
he
will
,
hath
given
you
a
Day
,
and
you
are
raised
up
again
out
of
your
Suffering
State
;
Oh
that
you
would
consider
the
end
of
it
,
and
wherefore
the
Lord
hath
done
,
and
suffered
it
to
be
done
;
and
that
you
would
make
right
use
and
improvement
unto
God
and
this
Nation
of
this
your
Deliverance
and
Promotion
;
for
certainly
there
hath
been
an
absolute
purpose
in
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
that
these
things
should
be
thus
,
and
his
hand
hath
even
suffered
it
to
be
accomplished
,
even
in
a
strange
and
marvellous
way
,
through
the
confounding
of
your
Enemies
,
and
giving
of
them
up
to
the
folly
of
their
own
hearts
in
their
Councils
,
that
they
should
destroy
themselves
,
and
bring
in
you
over
their
heads
,
and
make
you
a
Mountain
,
and
break
down
their
Mountain
,
and
make
it
as
a
low
Valley
;
and
certainly
these
things
are
in
the
Justice
of
the
Lord's
hand
,
and
it
will
be
well
for
you
if
you
can
consider
it
,
and
acknowledge
it
:
You
have
been
a
suffering
People
it
is
true
,
for
these
divers
years
,
and
Originally
your
suffering
was
partly
just
as
from
the
Lord
;
for
there
was
a
great
measure
of
Iniquity
and
Oppression
fulfilled
in
this
Nation
on
the
part
of
Kings
,
and
your
Sins
were
great
against
God
;
wherefore
the
Lord
was
Just
in
bringing
Affliction
and
Tribulation
upon
you
,
to
humble
you
,
and
he
might
justly
raise
up
others
to
reprove
you
,
and
to
subdue
you
before
them
for
a
season
;
and
thus
far
even
because
of
your
Iniquities
which
were
great
in
the
sight
of
God
,
your
Sufferings
and
Afflictions
were
Just
:
But
as
for
those
,
that
the
Lord
made
use
of
in
the
Execution
of
your
Afflictions
,
they
are
not
justified
in
all
what
they
did
towards
you
,
but
they
went
beyond
(
in
Violence
and
Cruelty
upon
you
)
what
the
Lord
called
them
unto
;
and
thereby
they
brought
a
great
measure
of
guilt
of
Injustice
and
Cruelty
upon
their
own
Consciences
,
in
proceeding
towards
you
beyond
Justice
and
Equity
:
Though
some
of
them
might
be
more
sincere
and
upright
in
the
beginning
of
these
things
,
when
they
began
to
War
against
you
;
yet
it
too
well
appears
that
many
of
them
soon
lost
the
Just
Cause
,
and
began
to
have
respect
to
your
Estates
and
Titles
of
Honour
,
more
than
to
free
the
Nation
from
Oppressions
and
Vexations
,
though
they
pretended
much
thereunto
,
yet
so
it
was
that
they
became
fouly
corrupted
in
their
way
;
and
though
they
Subdued
you
,
yet
did
they
not
free
the
Nation
,
but
became
Oppressors
themselves
no
less
than
others
before
them
,
and
they
possessed
your
Riches
,
and
Titles
,
(
yea
and
in
great
measure
Unjustly
)
and
then
were
exalted
in
Ambition
and
Vain-glory
,
and
began
to
strive
amongst
themselves
who
should
be
the
greatest
,
and
set
up
this
,
and
the
other
,
and
some
cryed
one
way
of
Government
,
and
others
another
,
and
they
pulled
down
and
set
up
as
they
would
,
and
cast
down
and
exalted
whom
they
would
;
and
thus
they
continued
for
some
years
,
rowling
up
and
down
in
Confusion
,
and
yet
the
Nation
under
very
great
Oppression
and
Vexations
,
each
one
crying
his
Burden
was
the
greatest
,
while
they
were
exalted
in
their
Pride
and
Riches
,
and
lived
at
ease
,
not
remembring
the
end
wherefore
they
were
first
raised
,
nor
keeping
to
sincere
Principles
,
but
caused
them
to
suffer
deeply
that
were
faithful
to
the
Lord
,
and
walked
with
him
in
sincerity
;
and
all
this
while
you
were
as
asleep
,
and
not
thought
upon
by
them
,
as
if
ever
you
should
call
them
to
an
Account
;
but
they
thought
that
their
strength
was
great
,
and
their
number
many
,
and
therein
they
gloried
,
having
no
true
respect
unto
the
Lord
;
and
because
thereof
the
Lord
justly
confounded
them
in
their
Counsels
,
when
their
measure
was
full
,
and
made
them
weak
as
Water
;
and
you
are
now
justly
raised
up
to
reprove
and
correct
them
,
even
those
that
have
abused
Gods
Mercies
to
them
,
and
that
have
forgotten
God
and
sought
to
exalt
themselves
forever
,
and
had
no
respect
unto
the
Lord
and
his
People
;
though
these
things
are
not
said
of
them
,
to
upbraid
them
,
nor
to
kindle
your
Fury
against
them
,
to
add
Misery
upon
their
Affliction
,
but
they
have
already
been
told
of
their
Treachery
,
and
what
would
come
to
pass
;
And
Oh
,
that
they
could
now
humble
themselves
before
the
Lord
,
and
confess
to
the
justice
of
this
their
Affliction
;
they
might
yet
partake
of
his
Mercy
,
through
great
Judgments
.
And
as
for
you
,
Oh
,
that
you
would
consider
these
things
,
and
by
whose
purpose
you
are
restored
,
and
from
what
cause
,
and
for
what
end
it
is
accomplished
!
Oh
that
you
would
mind
what
your
Work
now
is
,
and
that
you
would
not
exceed
your
permission
;
for
you
are
raised
up
for
an
end
,
and
there
is
a
Work
for
you
to
do
;
Oh
that
you
could
do
it
with
respect
unto
the
Lord
,
it
should
be
the
better
for
you
;
Oh
those
men
that
have
long
sate
as
Princes
in
this
Nation
,
and
pretended
,
and
vowed
,
and
promised
Reformation
in
Church
and
State
,
but
they
have
not
done
it
as
they
ought
,
but
as
great
Oppressions
and
Injustice
,
as
great
Superstitions
and
Idolatries
both
in
Church
and
State
,
were
continued
and
carried
on
in
their
dayes
,
as
in
dayes
before
them
;
Oh
how
abominable
have
these
things
been
!
(
multitude
of
words
might
demonstrate
)
but
now
their
Reproof
and
judgment
is
come
,
and
their
Fall
is
just
upon
them
;
who
should
pitty
them
,
or
mourn
for
them
,
seeing
they
have
deserved
all
this
and
much
more
which
has
yet
happened
unto
them
?
as
some
of
them
may
confess
:
and
those
things
(
their
Treachery
,
Unfaithfulness
;
and
Oppressions
I
mean
)
must
needs
be
avenged
one
way
or
another
;
How
often
hath
it
been
foretold
them
,
yea
,
it
hath
been
often
said
unto
them
,
That
God
would
bring
them
down
,
and
destroy
their
Power
?
they
have
been
told
,
that
these
things
were
not
right
,
neither
could
they
escape
unavenged
;
and
it
now
appears
as
if
the
day
were
come
:
and
if
you
must
be
their
Executioners
,
and
must
execute
the
Wrath
upon
them
,
who
shall
prevent
you
?
or
say
unto
you
,
stay
your
Hand
?
Or
rather
,
who
of
them
that
see
these
things
,
shall
not
be
patient
while
you
take
vengeance
for
the
Lords
sake
,
and
for
the
sake
of
his
People
,
whom
they
have
long
vexed
and
oppressed
?
Nay
,
who
of
the
Lords
People
shall
not
say
,
Let
the
Lord's
Will
be
done
,
and
his
Justice
executed
upon
his
Enemies
?
If
this
be
your
work
that
you
are
called
to
,
must
it
not
go
on
till
it
be
finished
?
They
have
been
hard-hearted
and
Oppressors
towards
others
;
and
by
a
hard-hearted
People
,
may
not
the
Lord
justly
deal
with
them
,
and
be
a
Plague
unto
them
in
that
very
manner
,
that
they
have
sinned
against
him
?
for
this
is
usual
with
the
Lord
,
even
to
destroy
Oppressors
by
the
Wickedness
of
others
;
and
often
he
rebukes
the
Sin
of
a
People
,
by
a
People
as
bad
as
themselves
;
he
may
justly
give
unto
Men
from
the
Hands
of
others
,
what
they
love
in
their
own
Hearts
:
and
even
as
those
Men
have
loved
Pride
and
Ambition
over
others
,
and
Oppression
and
Hard-heartedness
towards
others
;
even
so
,
and
much
more
may
justly
be
done
unto
them
,
and
that
according
to
the
Will
of
the
Lord
;
and
if
this
be
your
Work
designed
you
by
the
Eternal
Hand
,
who
shall
prevent
you
?
But
yet
,
Oh
that
you
would
consider
,
and
that
you
would
have
respect
unto
the
Lord
,
lest
you
out-go
the
end
of
your
Restoration
:
You
would
indeed
be
happy
,
if
you
could
forgive
your
Enemies
,
if
you
could
reward
them
Good
for
their
Evil
;
and
you
would
be
happy
if
you
could
not
exceed
the
measure
of
your
Permission
:
be
not
too
hard-hearted
towards
them
,
but
shew
Mercy
.
And
Oh
you
must
take
heed
lest
you
cause
the
Righteous
to
suffer
with
the
Wicked
,
and
that
you
cause
not
the
Innocent
to
Groan
and
Mourn
in
your
execution
of
God's
purpose
upon
the
Ungodly
,
you
must
be
aware
lest
while
you
punish
Offenders
,
you
smite
not
them
that
are
free
;
Oh
that
you
had
hearts
this
to
understand
,
and
that
you
could
walk
in
the
path
of
fulfilling
God's
pleasure
,
and
not
go
further
,
(
I
mean
)
though
you
may
be
raised
to
be
a
Plague
upon
Hypocrites
,
and
Disobedient
and
Treacherous
men
,
and
to
avenge
God's
Cause
and
his
Peoples
;
but
you
are
not
raised
to
be
Oppressors
of
the
Lord's
People
,
nor
to
destroy
his
Heritage
,
this
is
not
your
Work
;
God
hath
not
called
you
to
destroy
and
persecute
them
that
fear
his
Name
,
and
tremble
at
his
Word
,
though
you
have
power
to
be
avenged
on
your
Enemies
:
And
Oh
that
your
Hearts
could
understand
this
,
that
you
might
distinguish
in
your
Proceedings
,
between
executing
of
Justice
upon
Transgressors
,
and
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
;
the
one
you
have
to
do
,
but
the
other
is
forbidden
you
of
the
Lord
,
and
you
ought
not
to
do
it
;
for
if
you
persecute
any
for
good
Conscience
sake
,
or
because
they
are
of
such
and
such
an
Assembly
of
People
,
and
worship
in
such
a
Way
;
if
you
inflict
Tribulation
upon
any
because
hereof
,
or
because
they
are
such
or
such
in
their
Profession
and
Religion
,
then
you
persecute
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
you
go
beyond
the
End
,
and
by
the
Path
for
which
you
were
raised
;
and
if
you
turn
your
Hand
and
Power
to
persecute
for
good
Conscience-sake
,
then
you
divert
the
End
and
Purpose
of
this
your
Restoration
,
and
the
Lord
will
require
it
of
you
,
if
that
you
go
beyond
his
Permission
and
Assignment
,
and
beyond
his
Pleasure
in
persecuting
his
People
,
and
so
turn
your
Power
to
a
wrong
Use
and
End
;
O
then
the
Lord
shall
suddenly
confound
you
,
and
he
will
find
out
Instruments
that
shall
fulfil
his
Wrath
,
and
Justice
upon
you
,
as
he
hath
found
you
fit
to
execute
Wrath
upon
others
;
and
therefore
do
not
,
O
do
not
persecute
any
for
Conscience-sake
;
if
you
have
nothing
against
them
but
concerning
their
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
their
Religion
,
do
not
lay
your
Hand
upon
them
,
nor
let
them
be
touched
;
for
if
you
do
,
the
Lord
will
take
it
as
a
heinous
Offence
against
him
,
and
in
this
life
,
or
hereafter
,
he
will
plague
you
for
it
,
and
you
shall
not
escape
unpunished
:
and
therefore
I
say
once
more
to
you
,
as
the
advice
of
your
Friend
,
Let
no
Man
be
persecuted
for
his
Faith
,
and
for
his
Religion-sake
,
but
make
a
difference
between
inflicting
Wrath
upon
Offenders
that
have
been
Hypocritical
and
Deceitful
,
and
that
have
made
themselves
rich
through
the
ruins
of
others
,
and
that
will
bow
to
any
thing
,
or
any
kind
of
Worship
for
their
own
ends
;
and
between
such
as
have
a
Principle
and
do
stand
by
it
,
and
are
humble
and
acted
in
the
Principles
of
Sincerity
,
and
follow
that
way
of
Religion
which
they
suppose
,
and
are
perswaded
is
the
best
,
and
the
rightest
;
all
such
ought
to
have
Liberty
under
you
in
their
Profession
,
and
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
ought
not
to
be
persecuted
while
they
live
peaceable
as
men
with
one
another
,
and
towards
all
men
;
and
the
God
of
Heaven
requires
it
of
you
,
and
your
Standing
,
or
your
Fall
,
the
Blessing
or
the
Curse
unto
you
depends
hereupon
;
and
this
you
shall
find
to
be
true
unto
you
in
the
day
of
God's
Righteous
Judgments
:
O
therefore
be
not
stout
against
the
Lord
,
but
fear
and
tremble
before
him
;
let
his
Dread
be
upon
your
Spirits
,
and
do
not
offend
him
,
nor
provoke
him
against
you
,
and
this
Nation
,
lest
he
tear
you
to
pieces
,
and
number
you
for
Destruction
,
lest
he
overturn
you
suddenly
,
and
deface
your
Glory
in
its
morning
:
Oh
how
happy
would
you
be
if
you
would
regard
the
Lord
and
reverence
him
;
and
take
him
before
you
,
and
not
go
beyond
in
any
thing
what
his
Purpose
and
Pleasure
is
,
who
hath
given
you
this
one
Day
to
try
you
,
if
so
be
that
any
of
you
shall
learn
his
Fear
and
turn
from
your
Iniquities
,
that
you
may
be
blessed
,
and
not
confounded
:
Oh
therefore
consider
what
the
Will
and
Purpose
of
the
Lord
is
towards
you
and
wherefore
you
are
raised
up
,
&
may
fulfil
his
purpose
,
and
not
your
own
:
Oh
then
this
Day
should
be
made
happy
unto
you
;
but
the
contrary
works
.
I
mean
,
if
you
do
Oppress
,
and
Persecute
,
and
seek
to
destroy
his
Heritage
,
and
rule
in
Oppression
and
Tyranny
,
then
the
God
of
Heaven
shall
cut
your
Day
short
,
and
deliverance
he
will
bring
to
this
poor
Nation
without
you
,
&
even
contrary
to
you
,
and
his
hand
shall
be
turned
upon
you
,
and
your
Mountain
though
never
so
great
,
and
high
,
shall
be
laid
low
,
and
an
Infant
of
the
heavenly
Birth
shall
leap
over
it
;
and
shall
say
,
Where
is
that
lofty
Babel
that
exalted
it self
against
my
God
?
And
as
for
us
,
we
are
a
very
poor
contemned
and
despised
People
;
even
since
we
were
a
People
unto
this
very
day
,
and
have
nothing
at
this
present
,
not
heretofore
to
glory
in
from
any
Power
that
hath
ruled
:
but
the
Power
,
Spirit
,
and
Presence
of
God
in
our
Tribulations
,
Afflictions
,
Persecutions
and
unjust
Sufferings
;
these
things
have
been
our
Portion
,
even
from
all
;
all
have
troden
upon
us
in
Contempt
and
Scorn
,
and
accounted
us
as
Sheep
for
the
slaughter
,
and
we
have
not
to
glory
in
any
Government
that
hath
been
since
we
were
a
People
;
we
cannot
justifie
one
or
another
,
but
we
say
,
they
have
all
been
Oppressors
,
and
we
have
groaned
with
deep
sighs
to
the
Lord
under
the
Burden
of
their
unrighteous
Dealing
;
and
herein
we
assent
with
you
,
if
you
say
they
have
been
unjust
Men
,
we
say
the
same
;
and
if
you
say
their
Government
hath
been
Oppression
and
Unequal
,
we
say
the
same
;
if
you
say
you
have
suffered
Cruelly
and
Unrighteously
by
them
,
we
say
the
same
;
if
you
say
they
have
Ruled
by
Will
and
Force
,
more
then
by
Law
and
Equity
,
we
verifie
the
same
;
and
if
you
can
say
you
have
suffered
Afflictions
,
and
Tribulation
by
them
,
so
have
we
in
another
manner
,
and
far
more
unjustly
:
Wherefore
we
cannot
justifie
them
,
nor
will
not
plead
for
them
in
opposition
to
you
;
but
we
partly
believe
we
may
receive
as
much
Equity
and
good
Reason
from
some
of
you
,
as
we
did
from
some
of
them
;
and
thus
we
have
been
a
suffering
People
even
without
cause
:
And
at
this
day
we
are
threatned
by
the
rage
of
Men
as
if
we
should
be
cut
off
and
destroyed
;
but
we
regard
not
these
things
,
but
do
respect
the
Lord
,
whom
we
fear
and
worship
in
our
Hearts
;
and
if
we
outwardly
perish
among
them
that
may
perish
,
yet
it
is
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
because
of
the
matters
of
God's
Kingdom
,
which
we
hold
;
and
if
you
do
destroy
us
for
this
cause
we
are
clear
,
and
Innocent
Blood
will
be
upon
you
,
and
the
guilt
thereof
will
sink
you
into
misery
here
,
or
hereafter
.
Oh
take
heed
and
defile
not
your selves
,
nor
load
your
Consciences
with
our
guiltless
Sufferings
,
as
many
others
have
done
before
you
,
even
to
their
ruin
and
woful
destruction
;
you
are
yet
in
a
great
measure
clear
from
our
Oppressions
;
we
have
not
much
Iniquity
yet
to
charge
upon
you
in
our
Cause
of
Afflictions
:
Oh
it
will
be
well
for
you
if
you
keep
your selves
clear
,
the
less
will
be
your
Judgement
,
and
the
better
success
will
you
have
in
you
Cause
;
for
Friends
,
the
weight
of
Innocent
Blood
it
hath
a
loud
cry
,
and
God
will
hear
it
;
and
if
you
burden
your selves
with
it
,
it
will
soon
overweigh
you
:
therefore
keep
clear
,
and
condemn
them
by
your
Practises
,
that
have
said
,
they
would
not
persecute
for
good
Conscience
sake
,
but
have
done
it
,
even
contrary
to
all
Pretences
and
Engagements
;
and
if
you
who
profess
not
so
much
in
words
towards
that
thing
,
would
do
it
;
how
should
your
Practise
condemn
their
Hypocrisie
in
the
sight
of
God
,
Men
,
and
Angels
?
But
however
I
warn
you
,
and
do
leave
it
at
your
door
;
and
do
say
unto
you
,
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
,
is
the
crying
Sin
,
which
draws
down
Vengeance
upon
Kings
and
Governments
;
be
you
warned
through
the
fall
of
others
,
least
confusion
come
upon
you
,
as
it
hath
come
upon
many
others
for
that
cause
:
and
be
not
too
confident
in
your
way
,
nor
too
furious
against
your
Enemies
,
but
remember
your
breath
is
in
your
Nostrils
,
and
he
that
gave
it
you
can
soon
take
it
away
And
as
for
you
,
we
have
no
Enmity
towards
any
of
you
,
nor
do
we
seek
the
hurt
of
your
Persons
,
nor
can
we
rise
up
in
Rebellion
against
you
,
or
seek
your
Destruction
by
Craft
or
Policy
;
neither
indeed
can
we
seek
Covenant
or
League
with
you
by
flattery
:
It
is
true
,
you
are
in
Authority
over
us
outwardly
,
and
as
you
are
so
,
we
shall
yield
subjection
to
you
in
any
of
your
just
Commands
;
and
in
all
things
it
is
our
Principle
to
obey
you
,
either
by
doing
or
suffering
;
yet
we
cannot
bow
,
nor
fawn
,
nor
flatter
,
nor
deny
our
Principles
,
nor
our
Religion
of
which
we
are
perswaded
by
the
Spirit
of
God
in
our
Consciences
,
that
it
is
right
and
according
to
God
;
but
I
say
,
we
cannot
revoke
our
Principle
,
neither
for
advantage
to
our selves
,
nor
yet
to
save
our
lives
;
you
must
find
us
constant
,
and
not
changeable
as
others
are
,
who
turn
every
way
for
their
own
advantage
,
and
cry
up
this
or
the
other
,
and
pray
and
fight
on
the
behalf
of
any
thing
which
may
make
for
their
advantage
,
but
God
is
grieved
with
such
Spirits
;
yet
we
are
otherwise
minded
,
and
must
only
own
your
Government
and
Authority
;
as
it
is
just
,
and
brings
forth
Righteousness
,
so
we
can
own
it
,
and
bow
before
it
;
but
as
otherwise
,
if
it
be
Unjust
and
Oppression
,
we
must
patiently
suffer
under
it
,
whatsoever
you
have
power
to
do
;
and
this
is
all
the
Peace
we
can
make
with
you
,
or
the
Engagement
that
we
can
bind
our selves
in
towards
you
,
though
we
cannot
but
own
that
this
Day
is
given
you
,
either
in
Mercy
,
or
in
Judgement
to
you
;
yea
,
and
we
cannot
but
own
,
that
you
may
be
God's
Executioners
;
yea
,
what
if
we
say
,
That
you
may
be
raised
up
to
avenge
our
Cause
upon
our
Oppressors
,
though
still
we
must
bear
witness
against
that
Wicked
,
Loose
,
Prophane
Spirit
,
that
lives
and
abounds
in
some
of
you
and
among
you
,
and
works
Unrighteousness
even
to
the
dishonour
of
God
,
throughout
this
Nation
;
this
Spirit
we
bear
witness
against
,
that
it
is
evil
,
and
brings
forth
bad
effects
in
every
City
and
Town
throughout
the
Land
;
whereby
the
Lord
is
provoked
against
you
,
and
this
Nation
in
an
high
measure
:
Oh
that
you
would
consider
of
it
while
there
is
time
,
to
be
corrected
and
amended
,
before
it
hath
brought
forth
unpardonable
Iniquities
,
which
it
hastens
to
fulfil
,
and
draws
down
Wickedness
as
with
Cords
!
Oh
the
Excessiveness
in
drinking
,
and
other
Vanities
!
Oh
what
destroying
of
the
good
Creatures
!
It
grieves
the
Hearts
of
the
Righteous
,
and
vexeth
the
Sober-minded
to
consider
it
:
and
also
there
is
a
great
deal
of
Hypocrisie
and
deceitful-heartedness
amongst
many
;
I
have
considered
this
thing
,
and
it
is
a
Vexation
to
the
Lord
,
and
cannot
but
be
detestable
to
you
;
even
in
that
many
contrary
to
their
Principles
,
Engagements
,
Promises
,
and
Covenants
,
do
now
cry
you
up
for
to
save
themselves
,
their
Lives
&
Estates
who
have
been
deeply
engaged
against
you
publickly
and
privately
,
and
yet
now
in
Hypocrisie
are
fallen
in
with
you
;
such
their
Proceedings
are
loathsome
to
God
,
and
your
present
Cause
is
no
better
because
of
such
;
though
as
for
some
of
you
,
that
have
stood
to
your
Principle
,
and
suffered
for
it
this
long
while
,
in
your
State
,
you
are
more
honourable
and
rather
justified
.
Oh
,
let
the
King
fear
and
reverence
the
eternal
God
,
knowing
he
is
but
mortal
Man
,
and
his
Breath
in
his
Nostrils
;
and
let
him
keep
himself
clear
from
Persecution
for
Conscience-sake
;
for
that
will
destroy
Kings
and
Governments
,
who
are
guilty
thereof
:
and
let
him
be
meek
and
sober
,
and
take
the
Lord
before
him
in
all
his
Proceedings
,
or
else
he
cannot
prospe●
;
his
Day
,
and
Time
is
now
present
,
that
God's
purpose
is
to
try
him
,
if
he
Rule
in
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
in
Equity
and
Justice
,
he
may
be
blessed
;
But
if
otherwise
he
Govern
,
and
walk
not
in
reverence
to
the
Lord
,
and
spare
his
People
;
the
God
of
Heaven
shall
rebuke
him
,
and
deliver
his
People
another
way
.
Consider
of
these
things
in
a
sober
mind
,
read
them
over
in
meekness
.

A
few
Queries
I
do
return
to
you
,
for
you
to
consider
and
answer
,
relating
to
the
present
Affairs
and
Proceedings
in
this
Nation
,
even
to
all
you
,
that
are
called
and
known
by
the
Name
of
Royallists
and
Cavaliers
,
that
are
really
so
,
and
have
Suffered
for
that
Cause
.
Quer.
1.
TO
what
do
you
attribute
the
first
Cause
of
the
advancement
of
this
present
Government
?
And
whether
or
no
ye
believe
,
that
there
was
any
thing
of
the
Purpose
and
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
by
intending
and
bringing
these
things
about
,
without
expectation
by
you
,
and
contrary
to
the
great
strength
of
your
Enemies
,
who
are
suddenly
of
a
great
and
high
Mountain
,
made
a
low
Valley
;
and
you
of
a
low
and
trodden
down
Valley
,
suddenly
raised
up
into
a
great
Mountain
?
And
to
what
do
you
attribute
this
Changing
and
overturning
of
Power
,
and
Authority
,
and
Rulers
,
even
them
that
have
been
as
Princes
and
Potentates
,
to
be
Rebels
;
and
them
that
have
been
accounted
as
Rebels
and
Traytors
,
to
be
Rulers
and
Governours
?
I
say
,
To
what
do
you
attribute
these
things
,
on
their
first
Cause
,
whether
to
the
Pollicy
of
some
,
or
to
Accident
,
or
to
good
Fortune
(
as
some
call
it
?
)
Or
whether
you
believe
in
your
Consciences
,
that
the
Lord
God
by
his
secret
Power
hath
purposed
and
suffered
the
effecting
and
accomplishing
of
these
things
?
Quer.

And
if
you
believe
that
there
is
any
thing
of
the
Hand
and
Purpose
of
the
Lord
,
in
doing
,
or
suffering
these
transactions
;
then
wherefore
,
and
for
what
Cause
do
you
believe
hath
he
done
these
things
?
Is
it
because
you
are
more
righteous
in
the
sight
of
God
than
they
who
are
cast
out
before
you
;
and
because
he
loveth
you
,
and
hateth
them
?
Or
whether
it
is
not
because
they
have
proved
Treacherous
and
Deceitful
,
and
not
answered
unto
the
Lord
what
he
required
of
them
,
but
sought
themselves
,
and
forgot
the
Lord
,
and
took
your
Estates
and
Titles
of
Honour
upon
them
,
and
pretended
a
better
Government
,
and
to
govern
better
than
that
way
of
Monarchical
Government
,
but
did
not
,
but
were
Oppressors
even
as
others
before
them
?
And
is

Whether
or
no
all
that
cry
you
up
,
and
your
Government
,
do
it
really
,
and
out
of
good
Conscience
,
and
from
Principles
of
Sincerity
?
Or
whether
they
are
turned
to
you
in
Feignedness
,
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
to
save
their
Heads
and
Estates
,
which
some
of
them
have
gotten
,
even
such
as
have
been
your
Enemies
,
and
Preached
,
and
Prayed
,
and
Fought
against
you
,
and
now
cry
you
up
,
and
pray
for
you
;
but
whether
can
you
trust
that
these
will
be
faithful
to
you
,
that
thus
deny
their
former
Ways
,
and
Religion
,
and
Worship
?
And
whether
thus
to
deny
their
Principles
,
their
Faith
,
their
Religion
,
their
former
Oaths
,
and
Engagements
,
is
commendable
,
and
Justifiable
in
the
sight
of
God
and
you
?
Or
whether
a
Quaker
(
so
called
)
that
will
stand
to
his
Principles
,
and
not
deny
his
Faith
,
nor
Religion
,
though
he
suffer
for
it
,
nor
will
bow
and
bend
in
Hypocrisie
under
every
sort
of
Men
,
is
not
more
justifiable
and
condemnable
in
the
sight
of
God
and
your
Consciences
also
?
I
say
,
do
not
they
condemn
these
Hypocrites
,
that
have
fought
against
you
,
and
prayed
against
you
,
and
yet
bow
under
you
with
deceitful
Hearts
,
in
the
time
of
their
danger
?

Whether

may
not
have
just
Cause
to
believe
,
that
your

Proceedings

in
such
Excessive
manner

in
Eating
and
Drinking
,

wasting

oppressing

Excessiveness

Natural
Cause
to
bring

beget
Pestilence

Famine
(
besides
your
provoking

Turn

Transgressions

Natural
Causes

Consider

TO
THE
Friends
of
Christ
IN
LONDON
.
DEarly
Beloved
,
and
much
Respected
in
the
Lord
,
who
are
of
the
Election
before
the
World
began
,
in
everlasting
Love
do
I
often
remember
you
,
and
your
Remembrance
is
Pretious
and
Pleasant
to
me
,
even
because
the
Lord
hath
chosen
you
,
and
called
you
into
his
marvellous
Light
,
and
formed
you
a
People
for
himself
,
to
shew
forth
his
Praise
;
and
herein
I
do
behold
you
very
often
;
for
I
have
seen
you
as
a
few
pleasant
Plants
,
in
a
great
Forest
of
fruitless
Trees
;
and
I
have
seen
you
as
a
speckled
Bird
among
the
Birds
of
the
Wilderness
,
and
even
as
a
choice
Virgin
are
you
among
Harlots
in
that
great
City
,
even
as
a
few
righteous
Persons
,
whom
the
Lords
regardeth
,
amongst
a
Multitude
of
thousands
of
ungodly
Men
;
thus
have
I
seen
you
,
and
thus
doth
the
Spirit
bring
you
into
my
remembrance
,
with
earnest
desires
to
the
Lord
God
for
you
,
that
you
may
be
preserved
through
all
Times
and
Seasons
,
and
over
all
this
World
,
that
you
may
be
alwayes
unto
the
Lord
as
a
pleasent
Garden
,
bringing
forth
Fruits
of
Acceptation
unto
him
,
wherein
his
Soul
may
be
delighted
.
Now
dear
Friends
live
in
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
walk
in
the
Faith
which
overcometh
the
World
,
and
feel
your
Election
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
grow
up
into
it
daily
,
that
you
may
have
the
Seal
of
Assurance
,
of
Mercy
and
Peace
,
and
Favour
with
the
Lord
God
:
and
wait
that
you
may
receive
the
Promise
of
the
Father
,
even
of
the
same
eternal
Life
,
the
same
Spirit
,
the
same
Power
of
the
same
heavenly
Vertue
into
your
Vessels
,
as
was
in
Christ
Jesus
,
in
whom
dwelt
the
fulness
of
all
things
,
and
in
us
the
Fulness
is
manifest
by
measure
;
and
this
is
the
everlasting
Comforter
,
that
will
abide
with
you
for
ever
,
even
the
Appearance
of
Christ
Jesus
in
Spirit
(
God
with
us
)
and
the
knowledge
of
him
,
as
he
was
before
Abraham
:
and
this
Life
Immortal
born
in
us
,
and
this
Knowledge
revealed
to
us
is
everlasting
,
and
remains
for
ever
,
and
if
ye
be
gathered
up
into
this
,
to
know
him
,
and
to
be
in
him
that
was
in
the
beginning
,
then
are
you
builded
upon
the
Rock
,
and
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
you
,
neither
can
the
Flood
of
Death
break
in
upon
you
.
And
Friends
,
walk
in
the
Love
of
the
Lord
God
,
of
which
you
have
tasted
in
a
good
Measure
,
and
in
the
Meek
and
Peaceable
Spirit
of
the
Lamb
be
at
Peace
,
and
in
Unity
with
him
,
and
one
with
another
,
even
as
Members
of
one
spiritual
Body
,
that
the
Head
may
be
honoured
through
you
,
and
that
each
Member
serve
one
another
in
Love
,
and
Respect
,
not
any
exalted
above
what
ought
to
be
,
nor
striving
for
prehemenence
above
one
another
,
but
that
each
Member
may
know
his
Service
,
into
which
the
Lord
hath
called
you
;
for
that
is
a
blessed
Thing
to
dwell
in
Love
and
Unity
,
and
to
know
,
and
to
be
known
to
one
another
in
the
Lord
;
and
the
contrary
bringeth
the
Curse
,
where
Strife
and
Enmity
lodgeth
,
that
is
excluded
out
of
the
Body
,
and
is
of
the
Kingdom
of
Death
,
and
not
of
the
Lamb
,
but
is
of
the
Body
of
Antichrist
;
and
not
of
his
Body
who
is
exalted
at
God's
right
Hand
.
And
see
that
you
walk
in
all
Wisdom
,
wait
that
you
may
be
wise
;
and
that
Wisdom
it self
may
be
justified
of
you
by
walking
therein
,
and
then
you
will
answer
the
divine
Principle
of
Equity
in
your
Enemies
,
and
you
will
cut
off
that
which
seeks
'
occasion
against
you
,
and
turn
backward
the
slanderous
Tongue
,
and
confound
the
Destroyer
which
seeks
occasion
every
moment
;
Oh
how
pretious
is
Wisdom
,
it
s
a
Pearl
,
it
s
better
then
Strength
or
Riches
,
Wisdom
is
the
chief
of
the
Gifts
of
God
,
it
comes
from
the
Fountain
,
and
it
leads
answerable
unto
him
who
is
the
Giver
thereof
;
Oh
wait
for
Wisdom
,
that
she
may
possess
your
Hearts
,
that
she
may
go
in
and
out
before
you
,
and
may
be
the
beginning
and
end
of
all
your
works
,
and
so
shall
your
Enemies
have
no
occasion
against
you
,
but
you
shall
be
preserved
in
perfect
Peace
;
for
Wisdom
is
a
preserver
of
Soul
and
Body
,
even
that
Wisdom
that
is
from
above
,
which
is
pure
and
peaceable
,
and
leadeth
into
all
the
Ways
of
Peace
,
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
take
heed
that
none
be
led
aside
into
Snares
,
and
Temptations
of
the
Wicked
,
and
thereby
make
shipwrack
of
Faith
and
a
good
Conscience
,
and
the
whole
Work
of
God
,
and
so
lose
your
Joy
and
Peace
in
God
,
and
come
short
of
an
Immortal
Crown
,
to
which
you
are
begotten
;
but
be
faithful
to
God
in
all
things
,
and
deny
not
your
Principle
,
nor
the
perswasion
of
God's
Spirit
in
your
Consciences
in
any
thing
,
neither
for
the
Love
nor
Terror
of
this
World
;
for
that
is
honourable
to
be
faithful
to
a
heavenly
Principle
,
even
whether
in
death
or
life
,
to
be
found
walking
answerable
unto
the
Will
and
Mind
of
God
,
as
you
have
received
the
knowledge
thereof
:
but
if
any
turn
aside
in
the
day
of
Tryal
;
the
Lord
will
have
no
pleasure
in
them
,
but
his
displeasure
will
be
against
them
unto
their
Destruction
;
and
such
shall
not
be
reckoned
among
the
Righteous
,
but
they
are
blotted
out
of
the
Book
of
Life
,
even
such
who
are
Hearers
,
and
not
Doers
of
the
Will
of
God
,
whose
Hypocrisie
the
Lord
will
judge
in
the
justness
of
his
Judgments
.
And
live
in
Patience
in
all
Tribulations
,
and
in
a
still
and
quiet
Spirit
;
for
the
Lord
is
there
,
his
Presence
is
enjoyed
in
a
still
and
patient
spirit
;
and
such
receive
of
his
Mercies
,
even
of
his
hidden
Manna
:
and
heed
not
the
Tribulations
that
are
in
this
World
,
but
mind
your
Peace
that
is
in
Christ
,
that
is
everlasting
,
and
be
settled
in
your
minds
,
and
fully
perswaded
to
follow
the
Lamb
wheresoever
he
goes
,
whether
in
Death
,
or
Life
;
and
let
nothing
separate
you
from
that
Love
of
God
which
you
have
received
;
not
Powers
of
Darkness
,
neither
Love
nor
Terror
of
this
World
;
but
keep
in
the
Dominion
of
God
,
that
his
Spirit
may
be
lifted
up
in
you
as
the
Standard
,
even
when
floods
of
Temptations
and
Persecutions
ariseth
against
you
,
which
are
but
for
a
moment
,
and
they
will
pass
away
,
but
Truth
and
Righteousness
will
remain
,
and
cannot
be
shaked
;
and
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
is
Good
unto
us
,
and
not
Evil
,
not
to
destroy
us
,
nor
suffer
us
to
perish
;
for
we
are
his
,
and
he
hath
chosen
us
,
and
he
hath
placed
his
Name
with
us
;
and
for
his
Name
sake
which
we
bear
,
he
will
do
great
things
for
us
;
he
will
visit
his
Heritage
,
and
defend
it
with
his
mighty
Power
:
and
therefore
be
in
Patience
concerning
all
things
whatsoever
that
cometh
to
pass
.
And
the
Lord
having
brought
us
out
of
Egypt
,
and
often
appeared
unto
us
in
great
Love
and
Favour
,
and
his
Eye
is
over
us
at
this
day
,
and
he
hath
not
thus
far
delivered
us
now
,
to
destroy
us
,
if
we
live
and
walk
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
feel
his
Life
and
Vertue
,
and
heavenly
Authority
in
our
own
Hearts
;
the
Lord
will
not
suffer
our
Enemies
to
prevail
against
us
,
so
as
utterly
to
extinguish
us
from
off
the
Earth
,
though
some
of
us
may
be
tryed
far
,
if
not
to
seal
our
Testmony
with
Blood
;
but
if
so
,
it
shall
hasten
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
cause
it
to
shine
forth
abundantly
,
and
it
will
fill
up
the
Measure
of
Iniquity
,
to
the
utter
destruction
of
Antichrist
;
and
for
this
cause
our
Lives
are
not
pretious
unto
us
,
nor
do
I
desire
further
to
give
Testimony
by
words
,
if
the
Testimony
of
our
Blood
be
required
;
for
I
know
,
though
power
may
be
given
them
over
the
outward
Man
,
yet
we
have
a
Life
which
they
cannot
touch
,
and
a
Peace
and
Victory
in
the
spiritual
Kingdom
which
no
man
can
spoil
us
of
;
and
we
are
given
up
already
,
whether
to
glorifie
God
in
the
Body
,
or
out
of
the
Body
,
so
he
is
glorified
we
have
our
reward
;
for
,
what
is
our
reward
,
but
this
,
That
we
may
see
the
Name
of
the
Lord
exalted
,
and
but
that
our
Confidence
is
sure
,
and
our
Faith
and
Patience
stedfast
,
that
we
shall
behold
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Kingdom
,
and
the
overthrow
of
Sathan
,
and
Antichrist
,
the
Beast
and
the
false
Prophet
,
our
dayes
would
be
sorrowful
,
and
our
Life
a
Death
,
and
our
Labour
and
Travels
a
Vexation
and
a
Grief
?
but
our
Faith
is
confirmed
by
many
Witnesses
,
that
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
must
become
the
Kingdoms
of
Christ
,
and
Mystery
Babylon
must
fall
,
in
whom
the
Soul
of
the
Righteous
hath
been
slain
;
and
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
must
certainly
be
effected
,
and
no
man
upon
the
Earth
shall
prevent
it
:
and
this
is
our
Faith
,
and
therefore
our
Travels
,
Labours
,
and
Affliction
are
not
grievous
to
us
,
even
because
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
is
with
us
.
And
as
for
me
the
Salutation
of
my
dearest
love
is
to
all
the
Saints
every-where
,
even
with
that
love
wherewith
I
am
beloved
of
the
Father
,
do
I
love
all
them
that
are
begotten
of
him
;
but
unto
you
more
especially
my
love
is
abounding
,
amongst
whom
I
am
known
in
faithful
Labour
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
who
never
sought
yours
,
but
you
;
and
I
hope
you
have
the
Witness
of
me
in
your
own
hearts
,
even
as
I
have
of
you
,
and
that
in
the
Immortal
Life
,
I
am
known
to
you
,
where
I
desire
only
to
be
known
of
you
;
and
though
I
have
been
as
weak
amongst
you
,
and
in
fear
and
trembling
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
been
strong
and
mighty
in
his
Spirit
;
and
though
I
have
been
as
poor
,
and
lowly
before
you
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
filled
me
and
you
with
his
Riches
,
and
given
victory
and
authority
,
even
in
your
presence
;
though
many
times
I
have
laboured
in
Tryals
,
and
under
great
Burdens
amongst
you
,
and
in
much
,
opposition
by
many
potent
Enemies
,
that
have
appeared
against
the
Lord
;
yet
,
the
Lord
hath
carried
above
all
,
and
given
dominion
over
them
through
his
eternal
Spirit
,
and
of
these
things
you
are
Witnesses
.
Oh
when
I
remember
the
dayes
past
,
and
how
the
pretious
presence
of
the
Lord
hath
been
with
us
,
and
amongst
us
,
while
I
was
with
you
,
as
I
hope
it
is
at
this
day
,
and
will
alwayes
be
continued
:
I
say
,
the
remembrance
hereof
,
even
of
the
goodness
of
the
Lord
filleth
my
Heart
with
holy
Praises
,
and
the
same
I
desire
for
you
,
that
the
Love
of
the
Father
,
and
his
Presence
,
which
hath
been
,
is
,
and
shall
be
,
may
be
alwayes
fresh
in
your
remembrance
,
that
you
may
be
comforted
for
evermore
:
And
at
this
present
,
I
know
nothing
but
that
the
Lord
in
his
Presence
,
and
Love
,
and
Life
,
is
more
large
and
precious
then
ever
,
and
he
hath
opened
his
Fountain
,
and
we
receive
of
his
fulness
more
abundantly
;
he
hath
made
us
strong
,
and
we
are
rich
in
him
even
at
this
day
to
give
our
witness
for
his
Name
,
and
against
Antichrist
,
and
all
the
powers
of
Darkness
,
in
as
much
Boldness
,
Plainness
,
and
Faithfulness
as
ever
;
yea
,
it
is
in
our
Hearts
to
be
as
diligent
and
valiant
in
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
publish
his
Name
,
and
to
proclaim
the
destruction
of
Antichrist's
false
Church
,
false
Ministry
,
and
Worship
,
now
more
then
ever
.
Oh
,
how
are
our
Hearts
filled
with
zeal
to
go
on
in
this
Work
,
we
have
no
fear
of
man
upon
us
,
not
of
him
that
can
but
kill
the
Body
,
we
are
not
afraid
of
the
Storms
,
and
Threats
,
and
Persecution
of
the
Ungodly
;
for
we
fear
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
him
we
reverence
and
worship
in
our
Hearts
,
and
not
mortal
Men
,
whose
breath
is
in
their
Nostrils
,
and
who
are
as
Clay
,
and
their
Substance
soon
desolved
,
and
what
shall
these
do
against
us
?
they
can
effect
nothing
without
the
Lord
,
who
is
our
Shepherd
,
that
keeps
us
:
and
as
for
the
Work
of
the
Lord
,
we
find
it
goes
on
,
and
is
prosperous
,
and
the
Flock
of
God
every
where
is
pleasant
,
and
they
grow
in
Knowledge
,
in
Wisdom
,
in
Faith
,
and
in
Patience
,
and
the
Power
and
Presence
of
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
as
ever
,
and
Truth
keeps
its
Authority
;
and
the
Lord
hath
blessed
it
with
a
good
Report
,
even
to
the
confounding
of
our
Enemies
,
to
perceive
the
Constancy
and
Boldness
,
and
Faithfulness
of
the
People
,
whose
destruction
hath
long
been
threatned
,
and
waited
for
;
but
we
are
yet
alive
,
even
in
him
who
lives
for
ever
:
and
we
live
,
because
he
lives
in
us
,
and
it
is
well
with
us
,
even
because
he
is
our
saving
Health
,
and
we
can
speak
of
his
Praise
,
because
he
speaks
by
us
.
Meetings
are
very
large
and
precious
every
where
in
these
Parts
,
because
of
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
is
the
Fulness
of
all
,
and
filleth
all
with
his
Mercy
,
Peace
and
Blessings
;
and
that
the
same
be
continued
unto
you
,
even
that
you
may
be
filled
with
the
Fulness
of
God
,
and
ever
comforted
in
him
,
is
the
desire
of
him
,
who
is
yours
,
as
he
is
the
Lords
.

A
TESTIMONY
Concerning
the
BOOK
of
Common-Prayer
,
(
So
called
.
)
Being
an
Answer
to
an
Objection
,
Whether
it
be
not
in
it self
,
and
as
practised
in
this
Nation
,
heretofore
,
and
at
this
present
,
the
True
Worship
of
the
True
and
Living
God
?
Answ.
1.
THE
Book
of
COMMON-PRAYER
(
so
called
)
in
its
first
Institution
and
Practise
in
this
Nation
,
did
not
but
differ
little
from
POPERY
,
and
the
Men
that
were
the
Authors
of
it
,
and
that
constituted
it
into
that
Form
and
Method
as
now
it
is
,
were
of
much
Zeal
for
their
Form
,
and
some
Sincerity
,
and
of
more
Tenderness
and
good
Conscience
towards
God
,
in
what
they
knew
,
then
were
they
of
the
Church
of
Rome
;
who
cryed
out
against
them
as
Hereticks
,
and
the
like
;
and
they
had
so
much
Light
from
God
by
his
Spirit
,
as
that
they
saw
the
Idolatry
and
Corruption
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
did
dissent
from
her
,
and
denyed
her
Worships
and
Practises
in
part
,
though
they
were
because
thereof
persecuted
;
and
the
Lord
stirred
up
their
Hearts
to
bear
Testimony
against
the
Abomination
of
that
time
,
as
it
was
in
both
Church
and
State
,
(
so
called
)
and
they
sought
after
Reformation
,
and
did
in
some
part
Reform
this
Nation
,
and
did
deny
the
Popish-Mass
,
and
the
Popes
Supremacy
,
and
many
Idolatries
,
both
in
Doctrine
and
Discipline
;
and
instead
of
the
way
and
manner
of
Worship
,
as
held
forth
by
the
Church
of
Rome
,
these
Reformers
set
up
the
Common-Prayer
,
to
be
performed
as
the
Worship
of
their
Church
,
supposing
that
to
be
more
acceptable
then
the
other
,
and
no
doubt
but
the
first
Institution
and
Practise
thereof
,
was
in
much
sincerity
and
zeal
by
many
,
and
they
were
held
under
persecution
,
and
suffered
some
of
them
even
death
●or
denying
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
her
ways
and
worships
;
even
them
who
did
first
ordain
and
compose
the
Common-Prayer
,
(
so
called
)
though
yet
there
was
much
error
in
their
Judgments
,
and
darkness
in
their
Understandings
,
and
a
vail
of
great
Ignorance
in
many
things
upon
them
,
even
while
it
was
brought
forth
,
and
these
things
effected
,
in
the
very
beginning
and
proceedings
of
them
.
2.
And
when
it
was
formed
,
it
being
imposed
on
this
Nation
by
force
and
penalty
,
and
set
up
by
compelling
all
people
into
the
practise
of
it
,
by
violent
Laws
upon
the
Bodies
and
Consciences
of
men
;
this
was
great
Abomination
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
made
the
practise
of
it
detestable
unto
him
;
for
it
is
contrary
to
God
,
in
the
dispensation
of
the
Gospel
,
the
way
of
forcing
by
compelling
&
constraint
through
outward
Laws
any
kind
or
form
of
worship
,
though
in
it self
never
so
holy
,
and
like
unto
the
true
worship
;
yea
,
if
the
very
things
that
the
Apostles
practised
for
worship
,
were
imposed
on
any
people
by
force
,
when
as
the
Consciences
of
Men
were
not
first
perswaded
thereunto
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
even
this
were
Abomination
unto
God
,
and
not
the
true
worship
of
him
;
which
is
not
of
force
,
but
of
a
willing
mind
,
nor
in
the
Ignorance
of
Mens
minds
,
but
in
the
Light
risen
in
their
Hearts
;
So
that
because
of
Imposing
the
practise
of
the
Common-Prayer
by
force
,
it
was
hateful
to
God
as
so
practised
,
and
the
performance
of
it
,
while
it
was
so
held
forth
in
this
Nation
,
was
no
better
then
the
Idolatrous
Mass
,
nor
no
more
acceptable
to
God
.
3.
And
as
for
the
Matter
in
it self
,
partly
,
and
divers
practises
thereunto
pertaining
,
it
is
not
the
true
Worship
of
the
True
and
Living
God
,
though
never
so
zealously
practised
;
because
it
cannot
be
believed
that
the
Authors
and
Composers
of
it
,
were
moved
,
led
,
and
guided
,
by
the
Holy
Spirit
of
God
,
in
their
very
Institution
and
forming
of
it
;
and
whatsoever
is
brought
forth
,
whether
in
Faith
,
or
any
practise
in
any
kind
of
Profession
and
practises
in
any
way
of
Religion
,
and
not
onely
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
not
the
true
Worship
of
God
,
which
is
only
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
and
consists
onely
of
such
practises
moved
unto
,
and
guided
in
by
the
Spirit
;
and
the
true
Worship
of
God
is
not
otherwise
,
neither
for
matter
nor
manner
,
but
in
what
things
,
and
after
what
manner
,
as
the
Spirit
of
God
leadeth
unto
and
guideth
in
,
for
the
Father
seeketh
such
to
Worship
him
,
as
Worship
in
Spirit
and
Truth
.
4.
As
for
the
Method
and
Form
of
the
matter
,
it
is
not
according
to
the
example
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
nor
agreeing
to
the
practise
of
Worship
,
held
forth
by
the
Apostles
,
but
different
from
,
and
partly
contrary
to
the
Spirit
that
was
in
the
Saints
,
and
their
example
of
Worship
,
as
in
many
circumstances
,
(
pertaining
to
the
orders
of
Common-Prayer-Book
)
might
be
instanced
;
but
even
some
of
the
Practises
themselves
,
and
the
manner
of
performing
them
,
are
for
the
most
part
Invention
and
Tradition
,
traduced
into
the
World
long
since
the
Apostles
days
,
and
they
are
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
nor
example
of
the
Saints
Worship
in
the
Church
of
Christ
in
their
days
;
and
therefore
the
Matter
in
it self
partly
,
and
the
Method
of
it
,
are
not
the
true
Worship
of
the
Living
God
,
which
is
not
after
the
traditions
of
men
,
as
the
manner
of
performance
of
Common
Prayer-Book
is
,
when
as
the
Worship
of
God
is
in
and
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
as
before
witnessed
.
5.
And
as
for
the
Practice
of
it
in
this
Nation
,
as
by
Imposition
and
force
,
upon
pains
&
penalties
,
as
it
was
practised
for
many
years
together
,
as
so
held
forth
,
it
was
not
the
Worship
of
God
,
but
Abomination
to
him
,
as
I
have
shewed
;
and
that
Worship
which
is
practised
by
any
people
,
being
forced
upon
them
,
is
but
Hypocrisie
and
deceit
,
and
outward
conformity
in
such
Worshippers
,
and
God
requires
it
not
of
them
;
and
such
was
the
Worship
in
the
Common-Prayer
,
(
so
called
)
for
there
were
many
who
did
bow
,
and
conform
thereunto
,
even
because
of
the
terror
of
men
,
even
many
in
the
Ignorance
of
their
Consciences
,
and
some
against
their
Consciences
,
and
contrary
to
the
Light
thereof
;
and
some
were
persecuted
because
they
could
not
conform
,
all
which
was
Abomination
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
;
even
the
consequence
of
the
thing
was
as
evil
as
any
part
of
either
matter
or
manner
also
;
even
while
many
conceited
themselves
in
their
Ignorance
,
that
they
had
Worshipped
God
,
and
done
well
,
while
they
had
onely
performed
such
Worship
forced
upon
them
,
and
which
the
Lord
never
required
at
their
hands
;
and
that
cannot
be
the
true
Worship
of
the
true
and
Living
God
which
can
be
performed
by
a
People
,
without
the
Spirit
of
God
,
by
which
alone
,
and
without
it
,
God
cannot
be
Worshipped
;
and
the
practise
of
Worship
after
the
order
of
Common-Prayer
,
did
many
thousands
,
(
if
not
most
)
perform
without
the
Spirit
of
God
;
whereby
it
fully
appears
,
that
in
the
practise
of
the
Book
of
Common-Prayer
,
the
Worshippers
did
not
Worship
the
true
and
Living
God
,
but
walked
only
in
a
part
of
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
had
not
the
Power
.
6.
But
as
for
the
Practise
of
it
,
as
now
in
England
,
without
Imposition
upon
all
by
force
and
penalty
,
but
by
some
,
out
of
supposition
that
it
is
the
best
way
of
worship
,
and
that
willingly
,
and
neither
forced
upon
them
,
nor
they
forcing
it
upon
others
;
as
thus
practis'd
is
not
so
great
Idolatry
,
nor
of
so
bad
effects
as
if
it
were
violently
forced
upon
all
;
but
if
any
suppose
it
to
be
the
best
way
of
worship
,
and
be
so
perswaded
,
such
may
more
equally
have
their
Liberty
in
the
exercise
thereof
,
while
they
allow
Liberty
to
others
to
follow
what
worship
as
they
are
preswaded
,
and
as
it
is
unjust
to
impose
by
violence
that
,
or
any
other
Form
of
worship
upon
people
,
so
it
is
unjust
to
impose
penalty
or
punishments
on
the
Bodies
or
Estates
of
any
for
their
conformity
to
the
Book
of
Common-Prayer
,
or
any
other
kind
of
Worship
;
for
as
it
is
contrary
to
God
to
compel
by
force
to
that
Practise
of
Worship
,
so
it
is
unjust
to
stop
by
force
from
that
Way
of
Worship
,
or
to
inflict
Penalties
upon
the
Persons
or
Estates
of
any
because
thereof
;
for
though
many
exceptions
may
be
justly
made
by
sound
Arguments
against
that
way
of
Worship
in
matter
,
manner
,
and
effects
,
as
I
have
said
,
yet
none
ought
to
be
afflicted
in
Person
or
Estate
,
for
the
error
of
their
minds
,
while
their
error
extends
not
to
destroy
the
Person
and
Estate
of
another
;
for
all
force
by
violence
that
hath
been
put
on
the
Bodies
and
Estates
of
men
,
about
Church-Worship
,
Ministry
and
Religion
of
any
kind
,
hath
been
Antichristian
,
and
not
of
God
,
even
for
many
Generations
.
7.
And
therefore
them
that
read
the
Book
of
Common-Prayer
,
and
all
other
sort
of
Worshippers
,
that
are
either
perswaded
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
or
suppose
in
their
hearts
of
the
Verity
and
Truth
of
their
Way
;
let
them
all
have
their
Liberty
in
their
way
of
Worship
without
force
,
or
restraint
by
outward
Laws
,
while
they
impose
not
one
upon
another
violently
;
for
the
true
Worshippers
ought
not
to
be
persecuted
for
their
Worship
,
but
if
they
are
,
it
will
confirm
them
in
the
truth
of
their
Way
;
&
the
false
Worshippers
ought
not
to
suffer
affliction
of
Persecution
,
nor
loss
of
Estate
,
though
they
do
err
in
their
Minds
and
Judgments
about
Worship
in
spiritual
things
,
but
if
they
are
afflicted
,
because
thereof
,
it
will
harden
them
in
their
evil
wayes
,
and
not
convert
them
,
nor
turn
them
from
the
evil
of
their
wayes
;
for
men
are
converted
to
the
right
way
,
and
out
of
that
which
is
evil
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
through
perswading
of
the
Conscience
inwardly
,
and
not
by
force
or
violence
put
upon
their
Bodies
or
estates
outwardly
,
never
any
were
converted
to
God
by
such
means
.
And
this
is
my
Answer
to
the
Objection
,
and
my
judgment
of
the
case
inquired
into
:
The
Book
of
Common
Prayer
(
so
called
)
partly
the
Matter
it self
,
and
the
Method
of
it
,
and
the
Manner
of
its
performance
is
not
the
true
Worship
of
the
True
and
Living
God
,
no
not
the
free
Practise
there
of
without
Imposition
,
much
less
the
Practise
of
it
by
Imposition
and
force
,
for
that
is
altogether
Abomination
,
and
hath
with
it
woful
effects
,
upon
whatsoever
People
it
hath
been
,
or
shall
hereafter
be
forced
and
violently
Imposed
.
This
is
given
forth
for
the
Satisfaction
of
all
that
desires
in
this
Matter

A
Postscript
.
AND
some
set
up
the
Institution
of
Calvin
,
or
Form
of
Prayer
,
as
these
have
now
the
Common-Prayer
;
and
both
the
one
and
the
other
have
cast
off
the
POPES
Form
,
and
brought
in
their
own
;
get
into
a
Form
of
words
,
a
For●
of
worship
without
either
Life
or
Power
.
The
PAPISTS
in
some
things
that
they
begin
to
do
,
will
say
,
In
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
And
the
Protestants
,
or
them
who
call
themselves
of
the
reformed
Church
.
that
are
come
off
from
the
Papists
;
some
of
them
when
they
go
about
to
do
a
thing
will
say
,
Our
help
is
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
which
made
Heaven
and
Earth
.
Here
both
the
one
and
the
other
have
a
Form
of
words
,
but
out
of
the
Name
,
the
one
as
well
as
the
other
,
out
of
the
Life
,
out
of
the
Power
and
Authority
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Therefore
what
they
do
,
how
can
it
be
done
in
his
Name
,
which
themselves
are
out
of
?
Though
they
may
be
in
the
words
,
and
do
a
thing
in
the
words
.
But
that
is
not
a
doing
it
in
the
Name
;
for
to
do
things
in
so
many
words
in
their
own
Time
and
Will
,
that
which
themselves
have
brought
in
,
is
one
thing
;
But
to
do
it
in
the
Name
,
Power
and
Authority
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
is
another
;
for
words
is
not
the
Name
nor
the
Power
;
and
the
Kingdom
stands
in
the
Power
,
not
in
words
.
Therefore
all
people
see
what
you
do
,
that
it
be
done
in
the
Name
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
true
Light
of
the
World
,
who
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
in
his
Light
,
in
his
Power
,
then
that
will
bring
you
to
cease
from
your
own
words
,
and
following
your
own
ways
,
doing
it
in
his
Power
,
in
his
Strength
,
out
of
your
own
words
,
your
own
ways
,
and
your
own
wills
,
in
his
Name
.
For
what
hath
form
or
words
either
one
or
the
other
hitherto
produced
or
brought
forth
without
Life
or
Power
?
Hath
your
long
Profession
and
Forms
of
the
words
,
brought
any
of
you
yet
into
the
possession
of
the
things
?
Or
will
it
ever
do
?
If
not
;
What
serves
it
to
?
Who
hath
required
it
,
to
have
it
done
?
And
is
it
not
his
right
alone
who
is
to
be
worshipped
,
to
direct
himself
how
he
will
be
worshipped
?
Or
is
not
all
other
service
and
worship
in
the
will
?
And
so
Will-worship
,
that
is
not
of
his
own
direction
or
appointment
.
And
the
Scripture
saith
,
John
chapter
4.
as
you
may
read
,
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
he
will
be
worshipped
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
.
(
Mark
that
)
He
who
is
a
Spirit
,
will
be
worshipped
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
that
which
the
Devil
abode
not
in
;
for
into
a
Form
of
words
,
Drunkards
,
Swearers
,
Lyars
,
Prophane
Persons
,
unrighteous
,
which
are
shut
out
of
the
Kingdom
,
may
get
into
words
,
in
such
a
worship
,
out
of
the
Spirit
;
but
that
is
not
the
worship
which
God
requires
;
And
is
it
not
equal
that
he
alone
direct
how
he
will
be
worshipped
,
that
is
to
be
worshipped
?
And
thou
art
so
to
perform
thy
service
towards
him
,
that
of
him
it
may
be
accepted
;
and
so
it
is
rightly
done
,
when
done
as
he
hath
appointed
it
,
as
he
hath
directed
.
And
Obedience
is
more
than
Sacrifice
,
whom
thou
art
to
obey
,
if
thou
wilt
do
him
service
who
is
worshipped
or
served
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
;
whose
Will
then
comes
to
be
done
,
and
not
thine
,
who
will
be
so
worshipped
,
and
so
served
:
But
otherwise
is
it
not
thine
own
will
,
and
not
his
that
is
done
?
Therefore
whosoever
will
come
to
worship
the
KING
,
the
LORD
of
HOSTS
,
must
come
to
worship
him
in
his
own
way
;
not
in
their
ways
,
to
bow
down
to
his
Light
,
to
bow
down
to
the
measure
of
his
Spirit
in
them
;
for
the
Manifestation
of
the
Spirit
is
given
to
every
one
to
profit
withal
;
Otherwise
,
will
not
People
,
Teachers
and
Professors
be
always
in
the
profitless
condition
,
Ever
learning
,
and
never
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
?
E.
B.
TO
THE
BELOVED
and
CHOSEN
of
GOD
in
the
Seed
Elected
,
Particularly
in
LONDON
And
elsewhere
;
who
have
seen
the
day
of
Christ
,
and
received
the
Message
of
Peace
and
Reconciliation
,
in
these
last
Dayes
of
his
Glorious
Appearance
.
THe
dear
salutation
of
my
life
salutes
you
all
,
in
the
most
pure
and
dearest
love
,
with
which
I
am
beloved
of
the
Father
,
and
with
which
also
at
this
present
my
Heart
is
filled
,
and
issueth
forth
towards
you
,
and
the
whole
Body
of
the
elected
Ones
;
and
the
remembrance
of
you
in
the
Lord
is
very
precious
unto
me
,
as
I
see
and
behold
,
and
have
fellowship
with
you
in
the
Immortal
Life
,
which
the
Father
hath
begotten
in
you
,
and
in
me
,
and
in
which
my
knowledge
is
of
you
,
and
my
unity
with
you
,
and
therein
only
is
the
remembrance
of
my
dearest
love
unto
you
,
and
in
which
I
hope
I
am
also
known
and
remembred
of
you
,
even
in
the
spiritual
Relation
and
Heirship
of
Immortality
,
being
fellow
Citizens
of
the
heavenly
Ierusalem
,
and
Children
of
her
conception
and
bringing
forth
.
Now
my
dearest
Friends
,
seeing
you
have
believed
in
the
Light
and
Life
of
men
,
even
in
him
that
was
,
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
and
have
also
tasted
of
that
all
Fulness
that
is
in
him
,
you
have
a
Witness
in
your selves
,
even
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
which
is
greater
then
all
,
and
you
need
no
other
Testimony
,
but
that
of
the
Spirit
,
That
the
Lord
is
good
and
full
of
Grace
,
Truth
,
Mercy
,
Peace
,
and
Joy
,
even
the
Fountain
and
Treasure
of
all
Vertue
and
Blessedness
in
this
present
time
and
hereafter
;
I
say
,
If
you
have
tasted
and
felt
of
Immortal
Life
,
and
if
the
Fountain
hath
been
opened
in
you
,
and
you
have
seen
his
Glory
,
and
received
of
his
Treasure
,
then
the
Evidence
dwells
in
you
of
eternal
blessedness
,
and
no
man
needs
to
teach
you
of
these
things
,
nor
to
say
unto
you
,
know
the
Lord
,
if
you
dwell
in
him
and
go
no
more
forth
;
yet
bear
with
me
a
little
,
that
I
may
speak
and
be
refreshed
,
not
to
diminish
from
what
Testimony
you
have
in
you
,
but
the
rather
to
add
towards
it
;
for
my
witness
is
not
another
,
but
the
same
which
ye
enjoy
,
which
is
faithful
and
true
;
and
this
I
say
,
Oh
how
great
,
how
mighty
and
powerful
is
the
Lord
our
God
everlasting
and
infinite
;
he
is
that
eternal
Spirit
that
filleth
all
,
the
Creator
and
beeing
of
all
things
that
are
,
the
life
and
vertue
in
all
,
and
the
invisible
Substance
greater
then
all
,
he
is
in
himself
the
imme●●rable
and
infinite
Fulness
,
the
Fountain
of
Life
,
of
Mercy
and
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
and
of
all
Vertue
,
and
of
every
good
Thing
;
who
can
declare
his
beginning
,
or
end
?
he
is
without
Time
,
Place
or
thing
,
yet
gives
beeing
to
all
,
and
is
present
in
all
,
yet
not
known
,
saving
of
himself
,
and
by
his
own
Spirit
,
yet
he
effecteth
all
things
,
and
worketh
whatsoever
he
will
;
who
can
utter
his
wonderous
Works
?
Who
can
number
his
Mercies
?
Who
can
account
his
Infiniteness
?
who
can
behold
his
Invisibility
?
Who
can
reach
his
endless
Beeing
?
He
filleth
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
of
his
Fulness
every
Creature
in
Heaven
and
Earth
receiveth
,
and
by
him
doth
subsist
,
though
it
is
only
given
unto
Man-kinde
,
to
behold
,
and
perceive
of
him
,
it
is
only
his
Gift
unto
his
Saints
that
fear
him
,
to
understand
of
his
Wayes
;
and
in
us
he
hath
opened
of
his
Fulness
and
Treasure
,
even
in
our
Hearts
;
and
the
divine
Mystery
of
this
Infinite
God
is
revealed
and
discovered
in
the
Hearts
of
the
Sons
of
Men
,
whom
he
hath
chosen
:
and
he
hath
given
us
,
to
enjoy
and
possess
in
us
a
Measure
of
that
fulness
that
is
in
himself
,
even
a
Measure
of
the
same
Love
and
●ife
,
of
the
same
Mercy
and
Power
,
and
of
the
same
divine
Nature
,
and
a
Measure
of
the
same
heavenly
quality
and
property
,
which
is
in
him
in
all
fulness
,
dwelleth
in
us
his
Saints
by
measure
,
even
in
all
that
are
born
of
him
,
in
whom
the
Immortal
Birth
is
brought
forth
,
which
is
of
his
own
nature
,
and
is
Immortal
,
Spiritual
,
Holy
,
Meek
,
Merciful
,
even
as
the
Father
;
for
the
quality
of
him
that
hath
begotten
is
in
us
that
are
begotten
of
him
,
we
bear
his
Image
,
and
are
of
the
Father
,
Partakers
of
his
Substance
,
Immortal
and
Infinite
,
and
are
one
with
him
in
Nature
and
Fellowship
,
and
perfect
through
him
that
dwells
in
us
,
and
hath
changed
us
into
his
likeness
;
these
things
ye
know
,
if
ye
be
born
from
above
,
and
if
the
Immortal
Birth
live
in
you
,
and
you
be
constant
in
the
Faith
,
then
are
you
Heirs
through
it
,
of
the
everlasting
Inheritance
of
eternal
Life
,
and
already
have
received
the
Earnest
,
and
Assurance
thereof
and
all
are
yours
,
because
you
are
Christ's
,
and
he
is
God's
,
and
you
have
the
Father
and
the
Son
.
And
this
Life
and
Immortality
is
brought
forth
in
us
,
and
Infiniteness
it self
dwells
with
us
,
and
eternity
possesseth
us
,
and
Fulness
it self
is
shed
abroad
●n
our
Hearts
,
and
we
have
the
Treasure
of
Life
,
of
Wisdom
,
of
Knowledge
,
and
of
divine
Fulness
in
our
Tabernacles
of
Clay
,
which
also
are
sanctified
by
his
Word
and
Power
,
to
be
fit
Habitations
for
the
eternal
God
to
dwell
in
;
And
oh
what
love
is
this
with
which
we
are
beloved
by
him
!
Oh
what
Mercy
is
this
of
which
we
partake
from
him
!
Who
are
become
the
Sons
of
God
,
and
Children
of
the
most
High
,
in
whose
earthen
Vessels
dwells
Immortallity
and
Life
,
and
Infinite
Substance
,
being
gathered
into
his
Shepherds
Fold
of
defence
,
where
we
have
Immortal
Food
,
and
are
established
on
the
holy
Mountain
,
where
nothing
can
destroy
,
and
are
at
rest
and
peace
and
under
the
shadow
of
the
Rock
of
Ages
,
that
Hell
nor
Death
,
nor
wrath
of
Man
can
terrifie
:
Oh
what
Eye
hath
seen
this
,
what
Ear
hath
heard
it
,
and
what
Heart
hath
perceived
it
,
and
not
admired
the
loving-kindness
of
the
Lord
?
who
among
you
are
Witnesses
of
this
,
that
sayes
not
,
great
and
Infinite
is
the
Lord
,
and
Immeasurable
in
Mercy
,
and
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
?
Oh
,
Friends
,
if
you
know
these
things
,
and
if
ye
receive
daily
of
this
Fulness
,
and
if
the
Measure
of
that
Immortal
Life
be
risen
in
you
,
and
hath
raised
up
you
with
it self
into
its
own
fulness
,
which
once
was
descended
out
of
its
own
fulness
of
eternal
Rest
,
and
Strength
,
and
was
manifest
in
its
Measure
,
in
poverty
and
weakness
in
your
Hearts
,
in
the
feeling
of
Afflictions
and
Wrath
because
of
Sin
,
but
it
descended
to
suffer
all
,
and
to
bear
Transgression
,
that
you
might
be
raised
with
it
into
its
Life
,
and
Glory
,
and
Fulness
;
and
if
this
be
finished
and
effected
in
you
,
Oh
then
how
shall
you
not
live
to
his
Glory
and
Praise
in
your
Generation
,
and
in
Love
,
and
Peace
,
and
Unity
with
himsel
,
and
one
with
another
,
and
magnifie
him
in
Soul
and
Spirit
that
hath
called
you
,
and
chosen
you
,
and
now
works
all
your
works
in
you
and
for
you
,
and
you
live
by
him
because
he
lives
in
you
.
But
though
it
is
thus
that
some
are
entred
into
the
Rest
,
and
have
received
of
his
fulness
,
and
have
the
Testimony
of
Life
and
Assurance
in
the
Father
,
and
are
risen
with
Christ
,
yet
are
you
and
we
,
and
all
the
Children
of
the
Father
,
so
set
and
placed
in
this
Creation
,
as
that
there
is
an
Enemy
to
be
ruled
over
,
and
also
a
service
to
be
fulfilled
by
us
for
the
Lord
that
hath
chosen
us
,
and
therefore
watchfulness
and
faithfulness
is
required
from
us
;
and
unto
this
I
cannot
but
exhort
you
all
,
even
to
walk
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
in
watchfulness
and
faithfulness
,
in
Humility
and
Meekness
,
in
Truth
and
Justice
,
and
in
every
good
thing
,
and
that
you
fulfill
the
Will
of
the
Lord
in
all
things
,
whatsoever
the
Motions
of
his
own
Life
draws
you
unto
,
that
every
Member
of
his
Infinite
Body
,
which
is
highly
exalted
at
his
right
Hand
,
may
be
preserved
in
dominion
over
Sin
and
Death
,
and
also
may
shew
forth
the
Honour
,
and
Glory
,
and
Praise
of
him
who
is
the
Head
(
even
Christ
)
whose
vertue
hath
an
ointed
every
Member
,
and
is
shed
abroad
through
the
whole
Body
:
I
say
Friends
,
of
every
Member
is
required
the
duty
and
service
thereunto
partaining
,
according
as
it
is
placed
of
him
,
that
the
Treasure
of
Life
may
shew
forth
its
vertue
in
one
manner
or
another
through
you
all
,
in
all
well-doing
,
to
the
glory
of
him
who
is
God
above
all
;
and
that
in
the
sight
of
your
Enemies
(
whom
you
know
watches
for
evil
,
and
would
rejoyce
in
any
occasion
against
you
,
that
they
might
speak
evil
of
the
Lord
because
of
you
)
you
may
walk
without
offence
in
the
answer
of
a
good
Conscience
;
and
if
you
walk
as
such
as
are
the
Lord's
,
you
will
cut
off
all
occasions
from
them
that
seek
it
,
and
they
will
be
confounded
,
and
you
preserved
in
the
blessedness
and
peace
everlasting
;
and
you
will
grow
in
Immortallity
,
and
into
the
knowledge
and
fulness
thereof
,
more
and
more
,
till
you
know
the
Father
,
even
as
you
are
known
of
him
.
And
be
not
unmindful
of
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
which
begat
you
,
which
first
entred
into
your
Hearts
,
and
wrought
mightily
in
you
,
to
the
wounding
and
destroying
of
Death
and
Enmity
;
and
remember
the
Travel
of
the
dayes
past
,
and
the
Indignation
which
once
you
felt
because
of
Sin
,
through
the
Word
of
God
,
and
the
Word
endures
for
ever
,
of
which
you
are
begotten
;
and
if
any
appearance
of
Iniquity
,
or
motion
thereunto
arise
in
you
,
into
desire
to
be
fulfilled
,
the
Word
will
quench
it
,
and
give
you
dominion
over
Sin
and
Death
,
and
save
you
from
the
effects
thereof
;
for
the
Word
changes
not
,
but
is
the
same
alwayes
;
but
if
man
change
and
pervert
his
Way
into
Iniquity
,
it
reproves
and
corrects
,
and
so
delivers
him
;
for
this
Word
keeps
clean
the
Heart
,
and
it
sanctifies
,
and
also
keeps
in
subjection
the
mortal
man
with
all
his
thoughts
,
desires
and
actions
,
and
destroyes
the
Man
of
Sin
,
the
sinful
Man
,
by
whom
the
whole
Creation
hath
been
corrupted
,
and
perverted
into
evel
,
in
its
practise
of
degenerate
man
:
and
if
you
forget
the
Word
,
then
Iniquity
prevails
again
,
and
the
love
of
this
World
,
and
its
vanities
,
and
the
Riches
and
Pleasures
of
the
mortal
man
steals
away
the
Heart
,
and
they
possess
the
Habitation
of
God
unrighteously
,
and
all
things
are
become
sinful
,
and
the
Body
of
Death
comes
over
the
pure
Life
,
and
Peace
with
God
in
the
Conscience
is
lost
,
and
that
because
the
Word
of
God
is
forgotten
,
which
once
begat
unto
God
;
and
where
the
unclean
spirit
enters
again
,
the
latter
end
of
such
is
worse
then
the
beginning
,
more
finful
against
God
,
and
more
hated
of
him
;
and
therefore
let
none
follow
the
way
of
such
,
for
it
leads
to
Death
and
Darkness
,
and
Misery
will
be
the
end
of
it
.
But
Friends
,
mind
him
and
feel
his
Power
,
who
is
the
Preserver
of
Men
in
Peace
and
Righteousness
;
and
let
not
up
that
part
in
you
into
liberty
,
into
which
Satan
enters
,
and
sows
his
seed
of
degeneration
,
but
live
in
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
in
the
meek
and
lowly
Spirit
,
tha●
you
may
not
do
your
own
wills
,
but
the
Will
of
the
Father
,
and
may
fear
him
and
his
Goodness
,
and
that
subjecteth
the
ground
of
Temptations
,
that
Sin
cannot
prevail
;
so
shall
your
Peace
be
everlasting
,
and
your
Life
as
a
River
of
pleasure
,
and
Joy
and
Gladness
shall
be
your
daily
Portion
,
and
the
Lord
shall
never
forsake
you
,
but
be
unto
you
a
Tower
of
Strength
,
and
Habitation
of
Peace
,
and
a
Crown
of
Victory
and
Reward
in
this
present
time
,
and
for
ever
.
And
if
ye
abide
in
Christ
the
Vine
,
into
which
you
are
planted
by
Regeneration
,
then
will
your
Fruit
be
of
the
Vine
,
and
acceptable
unto
the
Father
,
who
is
the
good
Husbandman
,
and
through
his
Vertue
you
will
grow
into
Perfection
,
as
partaining
to
the
Conscience
,
where
all
guilt
of
sin
is
taken
away
,
and
the
burden
of
Iniquity
and
body
of
Death
clean
removed
away
from
you
;
for
that
is
Perfection
as
partaining
to
the
Conscience
,
where
Sin
and
Transgression
is
done
away
,
and
Power
received
over
it
,
both
in
Motion
,
and
Action
,
and
the
Guilt
of
it
,
and
the
Conscience
sprinkled
with
the
Immortal
Blood
of
the
Lamb
,
and
no
stain
nor
guilt
remaining
,
but
Peace
altogether
by
the
holy
Spirit
in
the
Conscience
;
and
this
is
perfection
which
was
not
attained
to
by
outward
things
in
the
first
Covenant
,
but
is
witnessed
in
the
second
,
which
the
Lord
hath
made
with
us
,
and
confirmed
unto
us
,
where
Sin
and
Iniquity
is
blotted
out
,
and
Innocency
and
Immortallity
lives
and
raigns
;
and
such
stand
before
the
Throne
of
God
without
fault
before
him
,
and
no
guile
in
their
Mouthes
,
and
these
sing
the
Song
of
the
Lamb
,
and
of
the
Redeemed
,
where
all
sorrow
is
fled
away
;
if
so
be
that
the
burden
and
guilt
of
all
Transgresion
be
removed
,
then
there
is
no
cause
of
sorrow
;
and
blessed
are
they
that
dwell
here
,
and
that
are
entred
into
the
everlasting
Rest
,
even
into
God
;
for
he
is
the
Rest
of
the
Immortal
Soul
,
and
the
Life
of
it
;
and
if
ye
know
these
things
,
ye
have
satisfaction
and
comfort
,
which
none
know
but
they
that
have
it
;
it
s
the
portion
of
the
Redeemed
,
whose
Father
,
Master
,
Ruler
,
Judge
and
King
is
the
Lord
God
and
the
Lamb
,
and
we
are
Subjects
of
that
Kingdom
,
and
free
born
of
that
City
,
the
heavenly
Ierusalem
,
and
we
are
made
free
through
the
price
of
Immortal
Blood
,
and
then
how
can
any
of
you
,
that
are
such
serve
this
World
and
the
Vanities
of
it
,
by
any
immoderate
care
,
or
desire
,
or
exercise
in
earthly
things
;
for
this
is
the
bondage
of
Egypt
,
but
the
Children
are
free
from
it
,
and
are
not
entangled
concerning
the
things
of
this
World
,
but
they
are
subjected
under
,
and
the
Inheritance
of
a
better
Portion
is
their
Crown
and
Substance
,
and
Esau's
portion
is
the
Earth
,
he
that
hath
no
assurance
in
God
:
wherefore
live
above
this
World
in
the
Seed
of
God
,
and
be
without
immoderate
care
in
every
thing
,
as
to
earthly
matters
,
not
taking
thought
what
shall
come
,
or
be
to
morrow
,
neither
cumbring
your selves
about
uncertain
riches
,
but
leave
the
issue
of
all
things
to
the
Lord
,
in
whose
hands
are
Blessings
and
the
Curse
,
to
give
,
or
take
away
,
according
to
his
pleasure
:
and
be
not
Servants
unto
,
but
Rulers
over
all
affections
in
earthly
things
;
for
spiritual
Blessings
are
the
Crown
,
and
the
Earth
is
the
foot-stool
of
the
Lord's
Redeemed
.
And
as
for
the
dayes
and
seasons
in
which
we
now
are
,
let
none
be
troubled
,
as
though
it
were
not
well
,
or
could
be
better
;
for
all
things
are
well
that
are
come
to
pass
,
because
the
Will
of
the
Lord
hath
effected
them
,
either
as
the
Cause
,
or
as
the
Means
,
and
it
is
good
for
us
that
these
things
are
so
;
for
the
prosperity
of
our
Kingdom
is
going
on
through
all
,
the
Hammer
is
beating
upon
the
Rocks
that
will
beat
them
to
pieces
,
and
the
Axe
is
hewing
down
the
Cedars
,
and
the
little
Stone
prevails
against
the
many-headed
Beast
,
and
the
Image
of
Idolatry
is
weakening
,
and
the
holy
Seed
grows
in
strength
and
vertue
,
and
the
Purpose
of
the
Lord
can
none
prevent
;
But
the
light
of
the
Son
must
be
as
the
light
of
seven
days
amangst
us
,
and
the
Day-Spring
from
on
high
hath
already
visited
us
,
and
we
have
seen
of
his
Glory
;
wherefore
let
all
the
Upright
have
Patience
and
Long-suffering
,
till
the
Measure
of
Iniquity
in
our
Adversaries
be
filled
,
which
is
hastening
to
be
accomplished
,
and
Transgression
grows
full
,
and
Sinners
grow
ripe
for
Vengeance
;
and
we
must
pass
over
their
Mountain
of
Darkness
,
and
in
the
mean
time
the
Lord
hides
us
under
his
shadow
,
even
〈◊〉
Transgression
be
finished
,
and
covers
us
from
the
storm
,
and
blinds
the
enemy
,
and
turns
his
rage
backward
;
and
we
are
not
destroyed
,
but
our
life
is
renewed
,
and
righteousness
,
mercy
and
love
are
a
defence
about
us
;
and
how
great
is
the
kindness
of
the
Lord
herein
,
mine
eye
hath
seen
it
,
and
my
heart
meditateth
thereon
;
the
power
,
and
wisdom
and
love
of
the
Lord
herein
are
very
great
,
and
who
can
find
out
the
depth
thereof
,
or
declare
his
immeasurable
power
and
wisdom
.
And
thus
the
salutation
of
my
life
unto
all
the
faithful
is
expressed
,
and
I
am
well
in
him
who
is
my
fulness
,
and
desire
no
more
concerning
you
,
then
your
faithfulness
in
the
cause
of
God
;
for
without
controversie
the
cause
of
God
is
with
us
,
and
on
our
part
,
and
as
you
are
faithful
therein
,
that
is
my
reward
concerning
you
,
and
the
addition
to
my
joy
;
and
in
the
Heavenly
Spirit
of
the
Lord
God
Almighty
are
you
committed
unto
him
,
who
is
able
to
keep
you
,
even
to
the
end
,
and
in
the
end
,
to
glorifie
you
in
eternal
life
in
rest
and
peace
for
ever
;
and
this
is
the
portion
of
the
faithful
,
and
my
desires
on
your
behalf
,
and
my
salutation
of
you
,
hoping
that
you
have
not
so
learned
Christ
as
to
deny
him
because
of
the
love
or
terror
of
this
World
,
but
that
over
all
you
will
be
preserved
in
faith
and
victory
.
I
am
now
according
to
the
Will
of
the
Father
in
Ireland
,
it
is
some
weeks
since
I
arived
at
Cork
City
in
much
peace
and
safety
,
with
my
dear
Companions
;
it
having
been
long
upon
my
spirit
to
visit
the
Seed
of
God
in
this
Nation
,
even
of
love
have
I
felt
it
in
me
,
and
not
of
constraint
,
but
of
a
willing
mind
,
and
free
spirit
,
and
not
of
force
;
and
after
the
time
of
patience
and
waiting
for
many
dayes
to
see
my
way
clear
for
it
,
the
Lord
hath
ordered
it
and
brought
it
to
pass
acceptable
unto
me
and
many
here
;
and
this
is
the
time
which
this
visitation
must
be
effected
,
for
till
now
my
way
was
not
clear
;
and
but
that
this
Journey
hath
laid
upon
me
I
should
have
rejoyced
to
have
been
present
among
you
,
either
in
testimony
,
by
suffering
,
or
otherwise
;
but
this
is
the
will
of
God
:
and
it
is
in
my
heart
to
pass
through
this
Nation
,
and
to
visit
the
Seed
of
God
by
the
Love
and
Word
of
the
Father
,
as
he
gives
of
his
Life
and
Strength
,
and
opens
the
way
before
me
.
I
perceive
in
this
Land
Friends
are
generally
well
,
and
truth
grows
in
victory
and
dominion
,
and
the
Lord
is
adding
to
the
numberless
number
of
them
that
must
stand
on
Mount
Zion
;
and
through
the
rage
of
men
,
and
above
it
all
,
the
little
Flock
is
preserved
in
its
beauty
,
and
the
Seed
sown
in
weakness
and
afflictions
is
received
and
quickned
in
much
power
,
which
is
my
joy
.
About
Bristol
I
continued
about
two
moneths
in
much
precious
service
for
the
Lord
,
and
truth
had
good
authority
over
all
,
&
great
acceptation
in
the
hearts
of
many
,
and
some
convinced
,
and
others
edified
and
confirmed
,
as
many
can
witness
in
the
spirit
;
and
until
after
the
time
of
the
F●ir
I
was
not
clear
of
that
City
,
but
imediately
after
I
was
free
,
and
my
way
made
very
convenient
and
clear
to
this
place
;
and
the
hand
of
providence
ordered
all
things
very
well
on
that
behalf
,
as
I
do
hope
,
in
the
continuance
of
the
power
and
presence
of
the
Lord
with
me
through
this
work
;
and
in
his
power
I
am
committed
,
even
to
do
or
suffer
all
things
for
his
Name
sake
,
and
that
by
vertue
of
his
own
life
that
dwells
in
me
;
And
the
Lord
preserve
all
the
Brethren
like-minded
,
that
the
work
of
the
Lord
may
be
fulfilled
and
finished
by
us
.
Amen

A
PRESENTATION
of
Wholsome
Informations
,
unto
the
King
of
England
,
&c.
Being
a
Defence
Pleaded
,
and
also
appealed
unto
Him
;
even
to
the
Testimony
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
His
own
Conscience
.
In
Answer
to
a
certain
Accusation
,
charged
before
Him
,
(
in
a
Printed
Book
,
called
,
The
thrice
happy
Welcome
of
King
Charles
the
Second
,
by
one
George
Willington
,
of
Bristol
City
)
against
Us
,
whom
in
derision
,
the
Accuser
calls
Quakers
.
And
also
,
herein
are
laid
down
divers
Considerations
(
in
Answer
to
a
Petition
directed
to
the
King
,
by
the
same
Author
,
in
the
Book
aforesaid
)
concerning
Church-Government
,
and
concerning
the
making
and
sending
forth
Ministers
;
and
concerning
the
True
Prophets
and
True
Ministers
,
and
the
False
;
and
how
they
are
distinguished
,
in
their
Call
,
Maintenance
,
and
Fractises
:
and
that
none
ought
to
suffer
death
of
Body
,
or
be
killed
or
spoiled
in
Person
or
Estate
,
though
they
may
err
in
their
mindes
,
in
the
knowledge
and
Judgment
of
spiritual
things
.
All
which
is
soberly
presented
to
the
King
and
His
Council
,
for
Them
to
consider
.
The
Epistle
to
the
King
,
and
his
Council
.
KNow
ye
,
That
it
is
Righteousness
,
Iustice
,
Mercy
,
and
Truth
,
and
the
fear
of
the
Lord
God
;
it
is
the
doing
hereof
,
and
the
walking
herein
,
in
which
you
onely
may
be
truly
honourable
:
I
say
,
if
you
do
these
things
,
if
you
fear
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
depart
from
all
Iniquity
;
and
if
you
be
doers
of
Iustice
and
Mercy
,
and
if
ye
break
the
yoke
of
cruel
Oppressions
,
and
let
the
oppressed
go
free
,
then
are
you
worthy
to
be
honoured
,
both
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
:
if
so
be
that
you
are
possessed
with
the
nature
(
I
mean
with
Righteousness
,
Iustice
,
Mercy
and
Truth
)
then
you
deserve
the
name
,
but
not
otherwise
;
for
if
Unrighteousness
,
Injustice
and
Falshood
dwell
with
you
,
and
be
brought
forth
by
you
,
then
are
you
not
honourable
to
God
,
neither
can
his
servant
in
feignedness
and
flattery
give
the
name
unto
you
;
but
and
if
I
should
give
flattering
titles
unto
you
,
I
should
provoke
the
Lord
to
wrath
against
me
,
though
yet
I
gained
your
favour
;
but
I
have
rather
chosen
to
speak
the
truth
from
my
heart
in
Righteousness
,
and
to
be
well-pleasing
unto
the
God
of
Heaven
,
then
with
flattering
Lips
,
and
a
deceitfull
Tongue
,
be
a
man-pleaser
,
while
I
grieve
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
:
and
the
chief
desire
of
my
heart
is
to
keep
my
conscience
clear
in
all
things
,
though
I
should
gain
the
displeasure
of
you
,
and
the
most
eminent
accounted
of
men
.
And
if
you
shall
say
,
who
art
thou
?
I
must
answer
,
That
I
am
a
Servant
of
the
great
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
;
him
I
fear
,
and
before
his
presence
I
tremble
:
I
fear
not
him
that
can
but
kill
the
Body
,
I
flatter
not
any
by
feigned
words
,
for
I
regard
not
the
love
or
hatred
of
this
World
;
I
have
not
learned
to
practise
a
flattering
tongue
,
nor
can
I
use
it
towards
you
,
or
any
upon
the
Earth
;
but
words
of
truth
and
righteousness
are
my
delight
,
and
the
dialect
of
my
native
Countrey
,
and
the
characters
thereof
are
not
in
the
eloquency
of
words
of
mans
wisdom
,
but
to
demonstrate
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
in
plainness
and
soberness
,
with
more
respect
to
please
the
Lord
then
to
please
men
.
Thus
am
I
known
among
my
Familiars
,
and
thus
I
desire
only
to
be
known
unto
you
,
not
in
words
only
,
but
in
substance
;
not
in
flattery
,
but
in
an
upright
heart
.
And
this
my
present
occasion
thus
to
write
unto
you
,
is
,
even
in
as
much
as
we
have
been
accused
,
even
to
the
King
,
by
one
George
Willington
of
the
City
of
Bristoll
,
in
a
Book
of
his
directed
to
the
King
;
even
therefore
is
it
,
that
I
have
taken
in
hand
to
answer
and
publish
a
defence
against
his
Charge
,
with
some
sober
Considerations
,
chiefly
laid
down
and
directed
,
even
to
the
King
,
that
he
may
consider
them
:
and
my
hopes
are
,
that
he
,
and
you
of
his
Council
will
read
and
consider
the
Defence
,
as
well
as
the
Charge
,
against
us
;
assuredly
knowing
,
that
it
is
good
reason
and
equity
for
you
so
to
do
;
and
may
prove
also
of
good
consequence
to
you
so
to
do
;
for
if
the
King
should
receive
mis-informations
,
and
thereupon
proceed
in
Iudgement
;
Oh
what
pits
and
snares
of
danger
did
he
run
himself
into
,
even
to
destroy
himself
!
Now
to
the
intent
that
he
and
you
may
be
better
informed
in
some
particulars
concerning
us
,
about
which
we
are
charged
and
accused
,
and
that
you
might
know
the
truth
,
and
may
escape
the
way
of
Destruction
and
Confusion
;
therefore
is
it
,
that
the
Lord
hath
put
it
into
my
heart
thus
to
write
unto
you
,
and
not
for
another
end
,
nor
of
my self
have
I
done
it
;
but
as
I
found
the
drawings
of
that
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
which
leadeth
into
all
truth
,
to
which
I
was
made
willing
to
be
obedient
,
without
respect
to
any
thing
,
saving
the
Lord
,
and
that
you
might
be
advised
in
some
things
in
present
controversie
,
occasioned
as
aforesaid
;
and
there
are
a
few
things
towards
you
upon
my
spirit
,
which
well
deserves
your
consideration
,
as
followeth
:
First
,
That
there
is
an
Eternal
God
,
who
is
great
and
mighty
,
above
all
;
and
●e
alone
ought
to
be
the
fear
of
you
,
and
all
man-kind
:
for
whatsoever
he
will
,
it
cometh
to
pass
,
whether
in
Heaven
or
Earth
;
he
planteth
and
plucketh
up
,
he
buildeth
and
throweth
down
,
he
exalteth
and
abaseth
,
whether
Kingdoms
,
Governments
,
or
Men
,
Kings
or
Princes
,
as
he
will
,
and
what
time
soever
,
as
he
pleaseth
;
he
is
onely
wise
in
Council
,
and
mighty
in
Power
;
if
he
purpose
,
who
shall
prevent
him
?
he
is
the
Being
of
all
things
that
are
,
and
before
him
are
all
mankinde
upon
Earth
,
even
ye
your selves
,
as
Dust
and
Ashes
,
and
Vessel
,
of
Clay
;
and
your
Breath
is
in
your
Nostrils
,
and
he
that
gave
it
can
s●●n
take
it
away
from
you
,
and
in
a
moment
dissolve
your
seeming
glorious
substance
into
its
first
being
.
And
this
eternal
God
hath
overturned
and
changed
Powers
and
Authorities
,
Rulers
and
Governments
in
these
Nations
of
late
years
,
even
to
the
amazement
of
the
Inhabitants
,
who
must
confess
,
that
the
God
of
Heaven
hath
pulled
down
and
set
up
whom
he
would
,
and
taken
the
Government
from
,
and
given
it
unto
whom
soever
he
hath
pleased
;
and
he
hath
given
unto
many
a
day
and
a
time
,
to
try
them
whether
they
would
rule
for
him
;
and
he
tried
one
sort
of
men
after
another
,
to
prove
them
,
if
they
would
exercise
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
Iustice
and
Mercy
,
and
right
Iudgement
in
the
Land
:
but
when
the
Lord
tryed
them
,
they
have
all
proved
deceitful
,
and
unfit
men
for
the
Lord
to
exalt
his
name
by
;
but
they
have
neglected
Iustice
and
true
Iudgment
,
and
the
cause
of
the
Fatherless
and
the
Widdow
have
they
not
regarded
,
as
they
ought
to
have
done
;
but
great
oppressions
and
persecutions
have
abounded
in
their
dayes
,
and
they
have
forgotten
the
Lord
and
his
Iudgements
,
and
sought
themselves
and
not
the
Lord
,
and
been
ambitious
and
self-ended
;
and
they
have
exalted
themselves
in
their
Pride
and
Covetousness
:
and
this
hath
been
the
path
of
many
that
have
sitten
in
the
Throne
,
even
till
the
God
of
Heaven
hath
been
provoked
against
them
to
confound
them
,
and
overturn
them
,
even
when
their
measure
of
oppression
and
unrighteousness
,
of
Injustice
and
Persecution
was
fulfilled
;
and
when
the
measure
of
one
was
finished
the
Lord
brought
that
down
with
shame
,
and
another
was
set
up
to
raign
,
till
it
had
fulfilled
its
measure
of
that
which
went
before
it
,
that
it
might
be
brought
down
,
even
as
the
other
:
and
all
this
the
God
of
Heaven
hath
effected
by
his
power
,
that
all
the
Earth
might
take
knowledge
,
that
he
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
,
and
that
he
hateth
and
abhorreth
Injustice
and
Oppression
,
Cruelty
and
Persecution
,
and
that
his
Vengeance
and
Iudgements
are
extended
forth
against
such
Rulers
and
Governments
;
by
whom
,
and
in
which
,
Persecution
,
Cruelty
and
Injustice
are
brought
forth
;
and
because
hereof
,
hath
he
overturned
and
confounded
Rulers
and
Governments
;
and
these
things
have
been
visible
in
our
eye
.
2.
Consider
,
that
you
are
now
set
in
the
Throne
,
and
are
raised
up
out
of
your
suffering
condition
,
and
you
are
become
the
Rulers
and
Potentates
in
our
Nation
,
divers
having
been
cast
out
before
you
;
and
unto
you
a
day
and
time
is
given
,
to
try
you
and
prove
you
,
what
you
will
do
,
and
whether
you
will
rule
and
govern
alone
for
the
Lord
,
and
answer
the
end
wherefore
the
Lord
hath
restored
you
;
which
if
you
do
,
and
walk
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
forsake
your
Iniquities
,
and
do
Iustice
and
Righteousness
in
the
Earth
;
then
the
Lord
make
you
happy
,
and
a
blessing
in
the
Kingdoms
:
But
,
if
so
be
ye
walk
in
the
wayes
of
Oppression
;
and
just
Iudgement
,
Mercy
and
Truth
be
wanted
in
the
Land
through
you
,
and
you
run
on
as
others
before
you
,
in
Pride
,
Ambition
,
vain-glory
and
Covetousness
,
and
have
no
respect
to
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
his
Heritage
;
then
the
God
of
Heaven
shall
reprove
you
,
and
deep
confusion
shall
come
upon
you
,
and
as
with
a
whirle-wind
shall
you
be
overthrown
,
and
you
shall
know
that
there
is
a
God
that
can
do
whatsoever
he
will
,
even
he
shall
deface
your
glory
,
and
turn
your
Sun
into
Darkness
,
and
your
Day
shall
become
a
Night
of
Misery
.
Oh
therefore
say
not
in
your
Hearts
,
that
our
Mountain
is
strong
,
and
we
can
never
be
moved
;
neither
think
in
your selves
,
that
your
force
is
great
,
and
your
number
many
,
and
none
shall
be
able
to
prevail
against
us
;
but
rather
consider
that
there
is
a
secret
and
an
eternal
Hand
,
that
can
remove
your
Mountain
,
and
overcome
all
your
might
and
power
,
and
subdue
your
Number
,
and
turn
all
your
Wisdom
and
Policy
into
Folly
and
Madness
:
These
can
his
Hand
do
,
even
the
God
of
Heaven
,
who
is
greater
then
all
;
if
he
smite
,
none
can
heal
you
;
and
if
he
kill
,
none
can
make
alive
;
if
he
be●…
your
enemy
to
fight
against
you
,
there
is
none
that
can
deliver
you
out
of
his
〈◊〉
:
all
flesh
is
as
grass
,
that
is
soon
cut
down
and
withered
,
and
the
strength
of
〈◊〉
sons
of
men
,
are
as
a
Reed
,
that
is
soon
shaken
and
bruised
.
3.
Consider
,
how
that
you
are
placed
in
your
present
state
,
between
good
and
〈◊〉
,
between
doing
the
will
of
God
and
the
will
of
the
Devil
;
that
ye
should
do
the
one
,
and
forsake
the
other
;
and
in
the
doing
of
the
one
or
the
other
,
dependeth
the
Blessing
or
the
Curse
,
the
Love
or
the
Hatred
of
the
Almighty
;
and
you
are
in
your
day
that
is
given
you
to
prove
you
;
time
is
taken
from
others
,
and
given
to
you
,
even
by
the
Lord
that
gives
and
takes
time
and
power
according
to
his
own
pleasure
;
and
no
man
hath
assurance
of
time
unto
himself
,
but
it
cometh
and
goeth
at
the
pleasure
of
the
Almighty
;
and
time
●nd
power
is
now
given
unto
you
for
a
moment
.
Consider
what
the
God
of
Heaven
re●…ires
of
you
in
this
your
day
;
and
if
you
fulfill
the
will
of
the
Lord
,
then
you
may
be
happy
;
but
if
otherwise
,
then
other
effects
shall
follow
upon
〈◊〉
:
and
let
not
the
King
say
in
himself
,
that
because
I
am
the
true
〈◊〉
,
and
to
me
onely
it
belongs
to
govern
these
Kingdoms
,
and
I
may
gover●●
as
I
will
without
correction
;
as
though
therefore
he
might
rule
according
to
his
own
pleasure
,
and
the
Lord
take
no
notice
:
I
say
,
let
not
this
enter
into
any
of
your
hearts
;
but
let
the
King
know
assuredly
,
that
these
Islands
,
and
all
the
Kingdoms
in
the
World
,
are
altogether
at
the
Lords
disposure
,
to
give
the
governm●●t
thereof
to
whomsoever
he
will
;
he
giveth
and
taketh
away
Power
and
Dominion
according
to
his
pleasure
;
and
it
is
his
proper
right
to
rule
over
all
,
even
the
God
of
Heaven
;
and
he
it
is
that
pulleth
down
and
setteth
up
,
according
to
his
own
mind
;
and
if
you
please
not
the
Lord
,
but
vex
him
in
your
proceedings
,
you
must
know
,
that
the
Lord
can
take
from
you
the
Dominion
,
and
give
it
to
whom
he
will
;
and
there
is
no
injustice
in
him
thus
to
do
,
but
of
right
he
doth
it
,
because
it
is
his
pleasure
so
to
do
,
with
whom
there
is
no
Iniquity
nor
Unrighteo●sness
.
Therefore
let
it
enter
into
your
hearts
,
to
Fear
the
God
of
Heaven
;
assuredly
knowing
,
that
it
is
he
alone
who
hath
secretly
purposed
and
effected
this
your
re●●●●ing
into
the
Throne
;
and
he
hath
given
you
this
day
,
and
put
this
season
into
your
hand
,
that
ye
should
do
his
will
:
But
if
ye
provoke
him
,
he
alone
can
cast
you
down
,
and
take
your
day
and
season
from
you
,
and
none
can
hinder
;
and
this
justly
,
and
none
can
reprove
him
.
4.
As
concerning
the
men
that
were
cast
out
before
you
,
whose
persons
,
many
of
them
,
are
now
under
your
power
;
be
not
passionate
,
nor
of
a
spirit
of
Revenge
●●●ards
them
,
neither
seek
their
destruction
;
but
be
merciful
,
and
patient
,
and
meek
towards
them
;
for
though
it
is
the
pleasure
of
God
to
reprove
them
by
you
,
for
their
iniquities
,
yet
it
is
contrary
to
his
minde
,
that
you
should
take
away
their
lives
,
and
cause
them
to
be
put
to
death
:
for
there
is
a
seed
of
God
amongst
●●at
people
;
and
when
they
come
to
true
repentance
,
and
to
the
forsaking
of
their
●●quities
,
the
Lord
will
shew
mercy
to
them
,
and
peradventure
heal
them
of
all
their
backslidings
and
afflictions
too
.
Therefore
shew
Mercy
and
Moderation
●●●ards
them
,
and
cut
them
not
off
in
their
sins
,
lest
that
while
you
condemn
them
for
being
too
cruel
towards
you
in
times
past
,
ye
condemn
your selves
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
all
people
,
in
doing
that
to
them
(
even
in
the
same
measure
of
cruelty
)
for
doing
of
which
to
you
,
you
now
condemn
them
;
and
so
thereby
bring
the
same
guilt
upon
your selves
which
lies
upon
them
;
but
therefore
show
Moderation
and
Meekness
towards
them
,
and
leave
vengeance
to
the
Lord
,
to
whom
it
belongs
;
if
they
be
worthy
of
it
,
it
shall
come
upon
them
.
It
is
true
,
they
have
been
active
against
you
,
and
it
's
probable
they
were
raised
up
of
God
,
as
a
judgement
and
reproof
upon
you
,
because
of
your
iniquities
,
which
were
many
and
great
against
God
;
and
the
God
of
Heaven
had
a
just
Cause
against
you
,
and
improved
them
in
it
,
as
instruments
to
reprove
you
;
and
they
had
once
a
just
cause
against
Oppressions
,
and
the
Lord
blessed
them
in
it
,
and
gave
them
many
Victories
,
and
wrought
great
Deliverances
for
them
;
even
when
they
were
both
fewer
in
number
,
weaker
in
strength
,
and
less
in
policy
and
craft
,
even
then
oft-times
did
God
appear
for
them
,
and
gave
them
Victories
,
and
defeate●
their
Enemies
;
and
you
your selves
must
confess
to
this
,
That
the
Providence
of
War
was
clearly
on
their
side
,
which
I
call
the
hand
of
the
Lord
;
and
consider
what
a
sad
thing
it
would
be
on
your
part
,
and
how
contrary
to
God
,
to
cause
them
now
to
suffer
,
when
you
have
opportunity
against
them
,
for
that
which
was
effected
by
them
,
when
the
Lord
was
with
them
:
you
ought
not
to
cause
them
to
suffer
on
that
account
;
but
if
you
do
,
you
will
provoke
the
Lord
against
you
,
if
that
you
destroy
them
,
and
take
away
their
lives
,
because
they
were
once
prosperous
against
you
;
even
through
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
do
I
say
,
and
through
the
Providence
and
good
Fortune
of
War
,
needs
must
you
acknowledge
.
Now
it
s
acknowledged
,
that
they
quite
forsook
the
just
cause
,
and
forgat
the
Lord
and
his
mercies
and
deliverances
,
and
became
corrupted
and
abominable
before
him
,
and
insulted
over
their
enemies
in
the
spirit
of
ambition
,
and
began
to
set
up
the
same
things
which
once
they
had
cried
against
in
others
;
and
this
was
their
Transgression
and
abomination
;
and
in
their
corruption
and
forsaking
the
Lord
,
they
became
fully
guilty
of
the
same
abominations
of
others
before
them
,
and
the
Lord
became
provok'd
against
them
,
to
reprove
them
,
and
correct
them
,
and
afflict
them
,
even
because
of
their
transgressions
,
who
,
as
I
have
said
,
did
forget
the
Lord
,
and
walked
in
the
same
Path
themselves
,
which
they
reproved
others
for
;
and
the
same
abominations
were
set
up
by
them
,
which
they
once
pulled
down
in
others
;
and
this
was
their
Hypocrisie
,
in
whom
was
found
a
deceitful
heart
,
which
led
them
aside
into
treachery
,
false-heartedness
,
covetousness
and
vain-glory
;
and
because
of
these
their
iniquities
,
hath
the
Lord
bowed
them
down
under
you
,
and
smitten
them
before
you
,
even
because
they
were
not
faithful
to
the
end
,
and
not
because
they
were
faithful
at
all
;
no
,
not
because
they
were
active
against
Oppressions
at
all
;
but
because
they
became
guilty
of
the
same
abominations
,
and
set
up
that
in
themselves
,
which
once
they
moved
against
in
others
;
and
because
hereof
,
hath
the
Lord
reproved
them
,
and
that
justly
,
that
they
might
learn
his
righteous
Iudgements
,
and
be
humbled
under
his
hand
,
and
that
all
the
Earth
may
know
,
if
Men
forsake
Him
;
he
will
give
them
up
to
the
will
of
their
Enemies
:
though
he
may
bless
a
man
or
a
people
,
while
they
fear
his
Name
;
yet
if
they
sin
against
him
,
he
can
turn
blessings
into
a
Curse
;
and
now
they
that
were
once
exalted
,
are
abased
and
brought
down
;
and
you
that
were
once
low
,
are
now
exalted
:
and
if
you
become
corrupted
,
and
provoke
the
Lord
through
wickedness
in
this
day
of
your
Exaltation
,
and
if
they
become
humbled
,
and
repent
of
their
Transgressions
,
through
their
afflictions
in
this
day
of
their
sufferings
,
then
the
God
of
Heaven
can
and
may
suddenly
by
his
secret
hand
,
bring
you
down
,
and
●●y
you
low
,
and
raise
them
up
,
and
exalt
them
,
and
bow
down
your
strength
and
might
under
others
;
these
things
can
the
Lord
effect
according
to
his
pleasure
;
he
exalteth
and
abaseth
whom
he
will
,
he
setteth
up
and
pulleth
down
,
according
as
men
reverence
him
,
or
regard
him
not
:
They
that
honour
him
,
he
honoureth
;
but
they
that
dishonour
him
by
unrighteousness
,
he
bringeth
such
to
shame
.
O
therefore
,
ye
Men
,
consider
how
dreadful
the
Lord
is
,
and
take
his
counsel
,
lest
ye
perish
.
5.
Concerning
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
faith
and
worship
towards
God
,
you
ought
to
be
considerate
,
and
to
take
the
counsel
of
God
,
lest
you
run
upon
the
same
Rock
,
upon
which
many
have
been
broken
before
you
(
to
〈◊〉
)
limitting
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
of
such
whose
Consciences
have
been
tender
,
and
binding
them
to
or
from
,
by
force
or
violence
,
any
such
〈◊〉
such
way
of
Worship
,
and
Profession
of
Faith
,
and
exercise
in
Religion
:
if
you
do
thus
;
and
will
not
allow
clearly
and
freely
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
but
will
by
force
and
violence
limit
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
tender
Consciences
;
this
shall
be
a
Snare
upon
you
,
and
a
Rock
o●
offence
against
you
,
to
break
you
to
Pieces
:
for
in
so
doing
,
the
God
of
Heaven
will
be
displeased
with
you
,
as
with
others
,
if
so
be
that
you
take
upon
you
to
prescribe
the
Lord
a
way
how
he
must
be
worshipped
;
and
will
take
upon
you
to
rule
and
judge
in
the
cases
of
Conscience
,
and
in
the
matters
of
Christ's
spiritual
Kingdom
,
which
appertains
to
Christ
alone
,
to
be
Iudge
of
,
and
Ruler
in
,
and
not
man
;
and
to
him
alone
you
ought
to
give
the
whole
Rule
and
Government
in
all
the
matters
of
his
own
Kingdom
;
and
that
he
may
prescribe
and
teach
Worship
,
and
Faith
,
and
Duty
to
himself
,
in
all
spiritual
things
:
and
this
I
claim
of
you
,
on
his
behalf
,
even
that
you
give
unto
him
the
whole
Rule
and
Authority
,
in
all
the
matters
of
his
own
Kingdom
;
and
that
you
allow
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Faith
and
Worship
to
all
Christian
people
in
these
Nations
;
and
that
no
man
be
compelled
or
forced
to
or
from
,
by
outward
violence
,
any
kinde
of
profession
of
Faith
,
or
practises
of
worship
;
for
it
is
of
Antichrist
so
to
do
:
if
that
you
impose
any
S●rt
of
Worship
and
Religion
contrary
to
mens
Consciences
,
upon
penalties
on
mens
Persons
or
Estates
;
if
you
do
thus
,
you
exercise
not
the
Power
of
Christ
but
of
Autichrist
and
it
is
●●depriving
of
Christ
of
his
Heirship
,
and
of
the
Government
of
his
own
Kingdom
,
which
will
be
reckoned
against
you
as
a
fearful
abomination
,
if
you
●●lk
therein
.
And
therefore
let
men
believe
in
Christ
,
and
Worship
him
,
according
as
they
are
perswaded
in
their
own
Consciences
;
for
a
tender
Conscience
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
is
a
thing
greatly
regarded
of
him
;
and
if
you
limit
it
,
and
do
violence
upon
it
,
the
Lord
will
be
provoked
against
you
,
and
these
Nations
will
not
bear
it
;
but
it
will
beget
fiery
contentions
in
the
mindes
of
men
,
if
any
Religion
and
Worship
contrary
to
their
Consciences
be
imposed
upon
them
;
and
while
some
men
are
gratified
,
others
will
be
displeased
:
and
if
you
allow
not
free
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
spiritual
things
,
the
effect
of
it
may
prove
sad
and
Miserable
to
your selves
and
your
Government
:
and
this
shall
you
know
in
time
to
come
,
even
the
good
effect
of
Toleration
in
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
of
woful
effect
upon
the
contrary
.
Therefore
be
wise
and
instructed
,
ye
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
and
kiss
the
Son
,
lest
ye
perish
out
of
the
way
of
Peace
and
Happiness
.
Now
you
have
your
day
and
time
to
be
made
happy
,
or
to
be
left
miserable
,
that
your
Government
may
be
blessed
;
or
otherwise
,
deprived
of
all
Blessedness
.
These
things
have
I
Written
to
You
,
in
Love
and
Honour
towards
You
,
That
Ye
may
know
and
be
informed
what
the
Lord
requireth
of
You
,
if
so
be
You
may
escape
the
Wrath
that
is
to
come
:
And
love
,
nor
Wrath
to
You
;
Your
prosperity
,
nor
overthrow
,
is
determined
upon
You
,
or
prophesied
unto
You
by
me
;
but
as
You
walk
in
Justice
,
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
;
or
as
You
walk
contrary
,
and
bring
forth
Oppression
and
Persecution
.

A
PRESENTATION
of
Wholsome
Informations
,
unto
the
King
of
England
,
&c.
THe
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
People
,
that
feared
his
Name
,
and
trembled
at
his
Word
,
never
wanted
false
Accusers
in
any
Age
,
to
repute
them
vile
,
and
to
reproach
them
by
slanderous
words
;
and
that
even
to
the
Rulers
of
the
World
,
and
to
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
have
the
chosen
People
of
the
Lord
been
falsly
accused
and
reproached
by
the
slanderous
Tongues
of
ungodly
Men
in
all
Generations
,
as
in
many
Particulars
might
be
proved
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
by
the
Example
of
things
in
the
dayes
of
old
;
For
even
in
those
dayes
it
came
to
pass
,
that
the
Elect
People
were
reproached
and
falsly
reputed
by
the
men
of
the
World
;
as
in
the
Case
of
the
Iews
,
in
their
building
of
the
Temple
again
,
when
they
returned
out
of
the
Captivity
:
How
were
the
People
of
God
at
that
day
accused
and
reproached
?
and
that
by
the
wise
men
of
that
Kingdom
,
even
unto
the
King
Ahasuerus
,
Ezra

,

That
good
City
of
Ierusalem
,
the
Habitation
and
Dwelling
of
the
Iews
(
and
then
,
only
named
People
of
God
)
was
accused
of
being
a
bad
rebellious
City
,
and
hurtful
to
Kings
,
and
that
the
People
moved
Sedition
therein
,
to
the
danger
of
the
Revenue
of
Kings
,
&c.
And
Neh.

the
People
of
God
were
scorned
,
and
reproached
,
and
called
feeble
Iews
,
who
builded
the
House
of
God
;
and
it
was
said
in
derision
of
them
,
that
a
Fox
should
go
up
,
and
break
down
their
Wall
.
And
also
,
how
were
the
holy
Prophets
and
Servants
of
God
rejected
,
reproached
and
accused
,
even
to
the
Princes
and
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
in
Generations
past
,
as
Daniel
to
the
King
!
how
was
he
accused
?
Dan.

and
the
three
Children
were
accused
to
the
King
,
Dan.

and
the
Apostles
were
reproached
under
the
slander
of
being
movers
of
Sedition
,
and
such-like
,
Acts.

being
many
times
accused
and
haled
before
Felix
,
Agrippa
,
and
divers
others
of
the
Rulers
of
the
Heathen
:
and
it
was
told
the
Apostles
,
by
Christ
,
That
all
manner
of
evil
should
be
spoken
against
them
,
for
his
Name
sake
.
And
throughout
the
whole
Scriptures
,
there
is
very
large
Testimony
,
how
that
in
Ages
past
,
the
Servants
and
People
of
God
were
accused
and
falsly
reproached
before
Rulers
and
Kings
,
by
their
Enemies
,
that
sought
their
destruction
.
The
truth
of
this
is
so
clear
and
full
,
that
it
needs
no
further
Testimony
.
And
as
it
was
in
this
case
,
in
the
days
of
old
,
so
is
it
happened
in
this
day
;
who
more
now
accused
and
falsly
reproached
,
then
the
Innocent
People
of
God
?
Is
not
all
evil
spoken
against
them
,
and
that
even
to
Rulers
,
and
Governers
,
and
Kings
?
And
this
is
done
by
their
Enemies
,
that
seek
to
destroy
them
,
even
by
such
as
would
not
have
the
Work
of
the
Lord
to
prosper
,
and
his
People
to
be
preserved
;
and
on
this
account
,
the
cry
is
great
against
us
every
where
,
as
if
we
were
Hereticks
,
Blasphemers
,
Seditious
,
and
Enemies
to
Magistracy
and
Government
,
to
Church
and
Ministry
,
and
such
like
.
And
these
,
with
such
like
have
been
,
and
are
the
Accusations
against
us
,
whereby
we
are
reproached
falsly
before
men
:
and
this
hath
been
our
portion
in
this
World
,
since
we
were
a
People
,
by
the
Men
of
this
Generation
;
and
the
very
same
is
come
to
pass
upon
us
in
this
case
,
as
was
upon
the
People
of
God
in
former
Generations
;
and
as
it
was
done
unto
them
,
so
it
is
done
unto
us
;
and
therefore
we
are
in
Patience
under
all
our
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
,
whether
we
are
persecuted
by
Actions
or
Words
;
and
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
his
sake
,
we
bear
all
things
,
having
Prophesie
and
Example
before
us
,
of
the
same
things
that
came
to
pass
between
the
Men
of
this
World
,
and
the
People
and
Saints
of
the
Most
High
.
And
for
as
much
as
one
that
subscribes
himself
George
Willington
of
Bristol
City
,
hath
publickly
appeared
in
Print
,
even
in
the
Work
aforesaid
,
with
his
Accusations
and
Reproaches
against
the
People
of
God
,
whom
he
in
scorn
calls
Quakers
,
in
his
Book
called
,
The
thrice
Welcome
of
King
CHARLES
the
Second
,
&c.
Because
of
which
his
Accusations
,
are
the
very
present
Occasion
of
this
my
present
Work
;
and
that
his
Accusations
may
be
turned
backward
,
and
the
minds
of
Men
,
even
of
King
Charles
,
may
be
better
informed
;
for
he
hath
accused
us
to
the
King
,
and
being
we
are
somewhat
concerned
in
this
matter
,
being
thus
reproached
,
and
that
to
the
King
,
who
hath
yet
little
knowledge
of
us
and
our
Principles
;
therefore
it
is
upon
me
to
give
reasonable
Answers
to
that
Part
of
his
Book
,
wherein
we
are
concerned
and
accused
,
lest
that
the
King
,
to
his
own
hurt
,
should
receive
such
Accusations
for
Truth
,
when
as
they
are
otherwise
,
and
so
be
induced
to
proceed
upon
Reports
,
if
the
Charge
should
not
be
answered
.
And
first
,
I
shall
affirm
,
and
prove
it
in
its
season
,
That
this
same
Man
(
whose
Accusations
I
am
now
going
to
answer
)
hath
proceeded
in
the
same
spirit
of
all
the
false
Accusers
beforementioned
,
and
he
hath
lifted
up
his
voyce
in
contempt
of
the
Lord's
People
,
and
hath
rendered
an
evil
Report
of
the
Lord's
Elect
:
and
though
we
forgive
our
Enemies
,
him
,
and
such
as
he
;
yet
will
the
Lord
plead
with
,
and
give
unto
them
according
to
their
Deeds
;
and
we
only
may
reprove
them
,
and
leave
Vengeance
to
the
LORD
our
GOD
,
unto
whom
it
belongs
.
Now
though
we
are
,
and
have
been
thus
proceeded
against
ever
since
we
were
a
People
,
even
falsly
reproached
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
spoken
against
us
fo●
the
Name
of
Christ
,
by
them
whose
Hearts
are
filled
with
Fury
and
Rage
against
us
;
yet
we
are
known
in
our
integrity
unto
the
Lord
,
who
hath
placed
his
N●me
with
us
;
and
we
know
one
another
in
Faithfulness
,
and
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
I
hope
we
have
a
Witness
in
many
Consciences
,
even
of
our
Enemies
,
and
also
of
many
in
Bristol
,
that
as
to
our
Doctrines
,
Practises
and
Conversations
,
they
are
according
to
the
Truth
,
and
answerable
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
justifiable
even
of
the
Witness
of
God
,
in
all
sober-minded
People
,
even
of
them
that
have
not
yet
joyned
themselves
to
us
;
and
we
are
known
to
that
in
many
,
even
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
their
Consciences
;
to
which
in
all
,
we
daily
commend
our selves
in
Doctrine
,
Practise
,
and
Conversation
,
that
thereby
onely
we
may
be
known
and
approved
:
and
we
praise
not
our selves
,
neither
do
we
boast
of
what
we
are
,
s●ving
in
the
Lord
;
yet
from
time
to
time
,
we
do
,
and
can
make
our
Appeal
in
the
sight
of
God
,
to
the
just
Principle
of
Him
in
all
Men
,
and
even
to
the
King
,
before
whom
we
now
stand
accused
by
this
our
Enemy
,
do
I
make
this
desire
,
(
though
yet
we
are
in
a
great
measure
Strangers
to
him
,
in
Doctrine
,
Practises
,
and
Conversation
)
that
he
may
in
all
Cases
of
this
,
and
other
Matters
,
shew
Moderation
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Meekness
,
and
may
first
try
all
things
,
and
then
he
may
judge
the
more
justly
;
for
we
are
not
afraid
to
be
tryed
before
him
,
and
all
the
World
,
in
any
Matter
of
Doctrine
,
or
in
any
Part
of
our
Religion
;
and
we
should
judge
it
greatly
honourable
in
the
King
to
hear
our
Answers
,
as
well
as
our
Enemies
Accusations
;
and
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
him
,
we
can
appeal
for
determination
in
any
matter
that
is
,
or
may
hereafter
come
in
controversie
before
him
,
concerning
us
.
And
it
is
most
certain
,
that
the
proceedings
of
George
Willington
in
this
case
of
his
accusing
us
to
the
King
,
is
not
in
love
to
Us
,
nor
to
the
King
and
his
Government
,
but
altogether
contrary
,
as
upon
divers
found
Reasons
I
might
●emonstrate
,
(
and
may
in
its
season
;
)
and
his
present
work
against
us
,
is
from
old
in-bred
Enmity
and
Malice
against
us
,
who
would
have
us
destroyed
,
if
it
were
in
his
Power
;
for
he
hath
formerly
manifested
himself
in
writing
Reproaches
and
Slanders
against
us
,
which
were
sufficiently
answered
,
and
hereproved
,
and
refuted
to
his
great
shame
,
among
all
sober
People
;
to
which
he
never
yet
replied
,
as
being
too
Ignorant
and
too
weak
ever
to
clear
himself
from
what
is
charged
against
him
in
the
Answer
given
to
his
former
Book
;
but
now
,
as
I
have
said
,
out
of
,
and
from
that
bitter
,
old
,
long-seated
Enmity
,
and
devouring
Malice
,
he
hath
again
appeared
in
Print
against
us
,
supposing
himself
to
have
so
excellent
opertunity
more
then
ever
before
,
to
have
his
devouring
mind
satisfied
of
us
;
and
therefore
hath
he
in
haste
presented
the
King
with
a
Welcome
,
partly
of
Reproaches
and
Accusations
against
the
People
of
God
,
but
his
Heart
hath
deceived
him
in
this
case
;
for
we
shall
live
and
not
die
;
God
will
preserve
us
,
and
no
man
shall
destroy
us
.
Now
it
had
been
a
Welcome
of
love
far
more
to
the
King
,
to
have
sought
his
Mercy
and
Meekness
towards
all
,
at
his
first
enterance
into
the
Government
;
and
the
rather
to
have
stirred
him
up
thereunto
,
then
to
seek
to
provoke
him
to
rigour
and
wrath
against
any
to
destroy
them
;
as
this
Welcome
of
G●o.
Willinton's
tends
unto
;
which
is
not
true
love
to
the
King
,
but
rather
a
preparing
a
Net
for
to
entangle
him
,
and
to
lay
stumbling
Blocks
of
Iniquity
before
the
Feet
of
the
King
,
that
he
might
be
destroyed
,
and
fall
,
and
never
rise
.
And
let
the
King
consider
this
,
for
if
he
be
provoked
by
any
means
to
d●stroy
,
or
seek
to
overthrow
the
Innocent
People
of
God
,
that
same
shall
be
a
Net
to
entangle
him
to
destruction
,
and
a
stumbling
Block
to
fall
upon
,
and
be
everlastingly
broken
.
So
that
hereby
the
Welcome
of
Geo.
Willington
doth
appear
to
be
,
not
of
love
,
but
of
ignorant
hatred
to
the
King
;
and
indeed
,
it
is
such
,
especially
that
part
of
it
now
under
hand
)
that
it
deserves
reproof
more
then
acceptation
,
even
from
the
King
,
if
he
rightly
consider
the
ground
and
end
of
the
Author
in
his
Accusations
against
us
;
notwithstanding
his
seeming
fawning
and
Flatteries
,
by
which
he
appears
to
be
some
Pick-thank
,
or
some
News-teller
,
or
rather
Tale-carrier
,
for
some
hope
of
Promotion
or
Reward
:
But
I
wish
better
to
the
King
,
then
that
he
receive
or
accept
of
the
false
Informations
of
this
Author
,
(
our
Accuser
)
or
of
any
such
like
,
lest
that
he
ensnare
himself
,
and
be
taken
,
and
stumble
and
fall
,
in
receiving
mis-Informations
instead
of
Truth
;
and
thereupon
proceed
in
judgement
,
or
censure
unjustly
,
which
is
a
way
to
destroy
himself
:
Let
him
take
heed
to
himself
,
I
desire
better
for
him
,
and
that
he
may
shut
his
Ear
against
evil
Informations
,
and
may
never
have
his
Heart
opened
to
the
sheding
of
Blood
,
or
to
persecute
any
for
their
Conscience
,
and
the
exercise
thereof
towards
God
.
And
now
I
come
to
the
Accusation
it self
;
which
is
this
in
substance
:
That
the
Quakers
are
Enemies
unto
,
and
have
sought
to
root
out
the
true
Protestant
Religion
:
The
words
are
these
,
calling
upon
the
King
to
honour
the
Lord
;
which
(
saith
he
)
is
done
by
establishing
and
preserving
the
true
Protestant
Religion
;
which
of
late
years
,
hath
been
in
great
danger
to
be
rooted
out
by
Anabaptists
,
Quakers
,
and
Atheists
,

of

Book
.
Answ.
In
answer
to
this
,
divers
things
are
considerable
,
as
to
the
manner
of
his
Charge
against
us
.
That
this
Accuser
hath
proceeded
in
the
same
manner
,
and
by
the
same
spirit
as
the
Iews
,
Scribes
and
P●●●is●●s
,
and
chief
Priest●
proceeded
against
Christ
Jesus
;
for
they
numbred
him
with
Transgressors
,
as
it
is
written
,
and
crucified
him
between
two
Thieves
,
that
they
might
add
to
his
Afflictions
,
and
bring
him
under
the
greater
reproach
to
Ages
after
:
and
thus
this
Accu●●●
hath
done
,
in
numbring
the
Innocent
People
of
God
,
called
Quakers
,
with
,
and
among
Transgressors
;
even
that
he
may
the
more
add
to
their
Reproach
,
and
have
his
Accusation
heard
before
the
King
;
even
that
it
might
be
received
for
truth
,
as
if
the
Quakers
were
no
better
then
Atheists
,
that
deny
God
;
for
,
for
this
end
this
Accuser
,
in
these
Terms
vilified
us
,
and
made
us
equal
in
this
account
to
the
Atheists
;
and
thus
numbered
us
with
Transgressors
and
Sinners
,
and
that
unto
the
King
;
and
for
this
end
,
no
doubt
,
that
we
might
be
destroyed
and
cut
off
,
and
crucified
with
such
as
deny
the
Lord
God
.
Oh
how
unjustly
and
unmercifully
hath
this
our
Accuser
proceeded
in
thus
dealing
towards
us
,
let
the
King
and
all
People
consider
!
2.
As
for
such
as
are
Atheists
,
who
deny
there
is
a
God
,
or
who
deny
the
true
God
that
is
,
and
who
live
after
the
desires
of
their
own
lusts
,
saying
,
Let
us
eat
and
drink
for
to
morrow
we
must
die
;
and
there
is
no
pleasure
in
the
Grave
,
nor
state
of
happiness
or
misery
after
this
Life
:
such
we
do
deny
,
and
have
no
Affinity
,
Amity
,
Union
nor
Fellowship
with
them
,
nor
they
with
us
;
and
this
is
well
known
through
the
whole
Nation
,
and
fully
believed
in
Bristol
,
and
I
am
perswaded
,
in
the
very
Conscience
of
this
our
Accuser
,
he
knows
we
are
not
such
as
deny
God
,
nor
have
any
fellowship
with
such
;
therefore
how
hainous
is
this
man's
Crime
,
both
to
God
and
Men
,
who
hath
abused
the
whole
Nation
with
his
Slanders
,
and
endeavoured
to
mis-use
the
King's
Ears
with
false
Informations
,
and
hath
perverted
his
own
Conscience
in
speaking
contrary
to
it
,
and
hath
vexed
the
Lord
by
his
Lyes
;
and
all
in
this
his
numbring
of
us
in
Accusation
with
the
Atheists
,
as
if
we
were
one
with
them
,
and
no
better
then
they
?
3.
As
for
the
Anabaptists
(
so
called
)
the
other
Party
with
whom
we
are
accounted
,
and
numbred
in
the
Accuser's
charge
:
It
is
well
known
what
difference
there
is
between
us
and
them
,
and
how
that
we
have
been
opposite
one
to
the
other
in
Controversie
about
spiritual
things
;
and
also
in
matters
of
Judgement
about
Government
,
and
fighting
with
carnal
Weapons
,
&c.
and
they
have
dealt
sometime
with
us
,
and
proceeded
towards
us
too
hardly
and
maliciously
,
as
some
of
themselves
know
,
in
accusing
us
to
the
Powers
of
the
Nation
,
as
this
man
hath
done
.
But
I
shall
at
this
time
say
no
farther
of
them
then
this
;
There
may
be
a
sincerity
and
uprightness
amongst
them
,
in
many
of
them
,
more
then
is
in
this
our
Accuser
,
though
there
is
no
small
measure
of
Error
in
Judgement
in
them
,
as
concerning
many
Doctrines
and
Practises
held
by
them
;
and
it
s
not
my
work
now
to
accuse
them
,
neither
to
reward
them
evil
for
their
evil
;
but
only
on
this
occasion
I
am
forced
to
clear
the
truth
,
for
the
better
information
of
all
:
and
I
do
wish
well
to
them
,
and
even
that
they
may
confess
to
the
justness
of
God's
Judgment
in
what
hath
befallen
them
in
this
the
day
of
their
reproof
;
who
have
been
too
ambitious
,
and
hard-hearted
towards
others
that
have
not
been
of
their
Way
and
Sect
;
and
now
the
Lord
deals
justly
with
them
,
in
bowing
them
under
others
,
and
in
defacing
their
glory
,
which
was
of
man
,
and
not
of
God
.
But
to
the
case
in
hand
I
return
,
and
say
,
How
unrighteous
still
doth
appear
the
manner
of
this
our
Adversary's
Charge
!
for
whatsoever
the
Anabaptists
,
or
any
others
may
hold
,
or
do
(
though
I
at
this
time
)
shall
neither
justifie
,
nor
yet
condemn
all
what
they
profess
and
practise
)
cannot
we
be
charged
guilty
of
,
except
it
first
be
lawfully
proved
that
we
hol●
and
practise
the
same
things
.
And
as
for
us
who
are
scornfully
called
Quakers
,
(
which
Title
was
given
unto
us
of
derision
and
nick-naming
)
I
cannot
in
this
place
say
much
of
us
,
lest
I
should
be
said
to
justifie
our selves
,
which
I
seek
not
to
do
,
because
it
is
the
Lord
that
justifies
us
;
neither
do
I
love
much
to
be
heard
in
our
own
Cause
,
when
it
is
onely
our
own
;
nor
do
I
seek
praise
of
men
for
us
,
nor
of
men
to
be
●…ed
:
yet
this
I
may
say
on
Gods
account
,
and
in
his
cause
,
and
not
of
our
〈◊〉
;
we
are
the
people
of
the
Lord
,
whom
he
hath
called
,
and
chosen
,
and
〈◊〉
;
and
though
hated
of
men
,
yet
it
is
for
the
Lords
sake
,
and
not
for
any
〈◊〉
amongst
men
that
can
be
cha●ged
upon
us
:
And
we
are
Worshippers
of
〈◊〉
●●ue
God
in
spirit
and
in
truth
;
and
we
are
of
God
;
and
they
that
are
of
〈◊〉
,
are
not
against
us
,
but
with
us
:
and
as
for
any
Doctrine
or
Practise
in
〈◊〉
Religion
,
held
forth
by
us
,
they
are
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
.
〈◊〉
I
assert
,
and
can
prove
,
if
need
require
,
in
opposition
to
any
that
shall
●●●y
it
:
for
we
are
not
of
a
new
Religion
,
as
if
we
worshipped
strange
godds
,
though
by
the
ignorance
of
men
we
are
so
reputed
;
but
are
of
the
same
Spirit
,
〈◊〉
in
the
same
way
of
truth
;
and
we
walk
in
the
same
light
and
life
even
as
t●●
Apostles
and
Churches
of
Jesus
Christ
were
of
,
and
walked
in
,
in
the
days
〈◊〉
old
;
and
this
I
am
ready
to
make
proof
of
,
if
so
it
come
to
pass
,
even
be●●●●
the
King
,
and
the
whole
Nation
;
and
do
further
declare
.
That
whatsoe●●●
Church-Government
,
Ministry
,
Doctrine
and
Ordinances
,
Faith
and
●●●ship
,
and
whatsoever
Religion
in
whomsoever
,
that
is
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
the
Old
and
New
Testament
,
but
differing
from
▪
and
co●●rary
to
,
that
Spirit
of
God
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
I
do
for
my self
,
and
on
the
behalf
of
all
them
that
are
one
with
me
utterly
renounce
and
●●y
,
and
freely
give
witness
against
,
notwithstanding
upon
whatsoever
foundation
,
such
Church-Government
,
Ministry
,
Doctrine
,
Faith
and
Worship
be
builded
;
if
not
upon
Jesus
Christ
as
the
alone
Foundation
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
proveable
thereby
,
they
are
Antichristian
,
and
the
Lord
will
confound
them
.
The
truth
of
these
things
being
proved
,
and
rightly
considered
by
the
King
,
〈◊〉
all
others
,
no
just
occasion
will
be
found
for
this
our
Adversaries
Charge
,
nor
〈◊〉
place
can
rightly
be
found
in
the
heart
of
the
King
for
the
reception
of
the
〈◊〉
〈◊〉tion
,
but
may
upon
just
tryal
condemn
both
Accuser
and
Accusati●●
I
mean
,
not
destroy
the
man
,
but
reprove
the
Accuser
and
his
lyes
●…er
.
And
now
I
shall
proceed
to
the
Accusation
it self
,
and
shall
lay
open
the
folly
〈◊〉
●●norance
of
the
matter
of
his
Accusation
,
as
well
as
I
have
done
the
wicked●●●●
〈◊〉
the
manner

it
.
〈◊〉
the
true
Protestant
Religion
hath
been
in
danger
to
be
rooted

by
the
Quakers
,
〈◊〉
This
is
the
Charge
it self
.
●●sw
.
If
by
true
Protestant
Religion
,
the
Accuser
mean
true
Christan
Reli●●●●
then
I
deny
his
Accusation
utterly
;
and
do
charge
him
to
be
a
Slander●…
Lyer
,
and
False
Accuser
:
and
must
desire
of
the
King
,
that
such
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
taken
notice
of

who
hath
abused
and
dishonoured
him

that
very
〈◊〉
in

for

which
is

then
disgrace

so

gave

attempted
so

as
to

Informer

,
〈◊〉
to
be
found
a
Presenter
of
Falshoods
and
Slanders
against
as
good
Sub●…
〈◊〉
the
Nation
as
himself
?
O
how
abominable
is
this
both
to
God
and
the
〈◊〉
and
the
whole
Kingdom
,
that
these
things
should
be
,
much
more
that
〈◊〉
should
pass
unreproved
!
for
we
are
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
as
be●…
〈◊〉
have
said
,
even
in
the
same
way
,
and
of
the
same
Spirit
as
were
the
holy
〈◊〉
and
for
that
Religion
we
stand
,
to
do
and
suffer
all
things
for
that
cause
,
〈◊〉
for
the
true
Christian
Religions
sake
.
But
if
this
our
Accuser
by
Protestant
Religion
,
mean
the
Sects
of
Luthe●…●r
●r
of
the
Sect
of
Calvinists
(
so
called
)
or
whomsoever
else
,
which
,
I
do
〈◊〉
heartily
that
I
had
the
full
intent
of
his
mind
,
of
whom
he
means
by
the
true
Protestants
;
for
his
words
admit
of
divers
acceptations
,
and
so
a
sound
Answer
can
hardly
be
given
,
while
I
do
answer
onely
what
I
suppose
to
be
his
meaning
by
true
Protestant
Religion
:
for
there
are
divers
sorts
of
Protestants
;
Lutherans
,
Calvinists
,
and
many
others
,
which
are
all
Protestants
,
and
have
protested
against
the
Pope
,
each
one
sort
of
them
saying
,
They
are
the
true
Christians
,
and
true
Protestants
;
yet
are
very
much
divided
among
themselves
,
even
to
the
killing
and
persecuting
one
of
another
:
so
that
,
which
sort
this
man
means
,
and
who
of
them
are
of
the
true
Protestant
Religion
which
we
would
root
out
,
&c.
this
is
doubtful
:
I
would
I
knew
his
meaning
,
that
I
might
give
him
a
true
Answer
and
sound
;
for
we
may
deny
and
oppose
Protestant
Religion
,
or
some
part
of
it
;
that
is
,
some
Sects
,
or
divers
sorts
that
have
protested
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
yet
be
no
Transgressors
in
the
sight
of
God
,
not
many
men
:
for
divers
of
the
Protestants
themselves
are
denying
others
of
the
Protestants
,
and
their
Religion
;
and
it
is
my
belief
in
this
case
,
that
some
have
deserted
the
Pope
and
the
Papists
Religion
upon
bad
grounds
,
and
have
taken
up
a
Religion
as
bad
and
no
better
then
Popery
:
not
that
I
justifie
Pop●ry
in
all
things
,
but
have
a
large
Witness
to
give
against
it
and
men
ought
to
protest
against
it
;
yet
I
say
,
some
called
Protestants
in
their
Religion
,
are
as
corrupt
as
any
of
the
Church
of
Rome
:
so
on
some
account
,
I
may
as
lawfully
deny
Protestant
Religion
,
(
or
some
sort
of
them
that
do
profess
it
,
as
the
Church
of
Rome
;
for
it
is
as
corrupted
;
(
some
part
of
it
)
and
no
more
acceptable
to
God
,
in
the
Profession
and
Practise
of
it
.
This
is
spoken
in
general
of
it
,
because
his
Accusation
is
general
.
Now
if
I
had
his
full
intent
,
whether
he
means
Lutherans
or
Calvinists
,
or
what
others
,
if
not
them
,
that
are
of
the
true
Protestant
Religion
that
we
would
root
out
,
then
I
should
insist
upon
that
particular
sort
,
and
give
my
exception
against
them
;
for
I
have
many
things
to
object
,
at
least
,
and
some
things
wholly
to
except
against
in
the
Protestant
Religion
,
or
some
sort
of
it
;
not
that
I
condemn
or
judge
every
individual
man
of
the
Protestant
Religion
:
for
I
believe
there
are
many
that
are
sincere
and
zealous
towards
GOD
,
though
with
some
Error
in
Judgement
;
yet
as
to
the
Form
of
Worship
,
and
Constitution
of
Church
and
Ministry
,
and
Ordinances
in
the
Protestant
Religion
,
it
is
much
,
if
not
wholly
differing
and
contrary
to
the
Church
,
Ministry
,
Worship
and
Ordinances
of
the
Apostles
and
true
Christians
in
their
dayes
:
and
more
then
this
I
now
may
not
say
;
a
more
full
Answer
I
cannot
give
to
this
Charge
,
except
,
that
,
I
did
know
what
sort
of
Protestant
he
intended
;
which
if
I
did
,
I
should
utter
my
mind
more
large
as
to
the
Matter
,
according
as
the
Spirit
of
God
gave
me
utterance
.
And
now
that
I
have
spoken
of
the
manner
and
also
of
the
matter
of
his
Charge
,
I
shall
hint
partly
of
the
end
and
purpose
of
his
thus
accusing
as
to
the
King
:
His
end
,
intent
and
purpose
of
his
thus
charging
us
,
must
needs
be
,
and
it
will
appear
to
be
out
of
Malice
,
Wrath
and
Enmity
,
for
to
incense
and
move
the
Heart
of
the
King
against
us
,
to
destroy
us
,
as
I
have
before
mentioned
:
And
in
answer
to
this
,
some
things
most
especially
are
considerable
to
the
King
and
all
his
Friends
.
1.
If
he
should
upon
the
Report
of
this
Man
,
or
any
others
,
let
his
Heart
be
moved
into
Rigour
and
Enmity
against
us
,
and
thereby
seek
,
intend
,
or
work
Evil
against
us
,
to
destroy
us
,
he
did
but
fill
the
Land
with
Violence
,
Cruelty
and
Persecution
,
and
Innocent
Blood
,
and
fill
his
Government
with
Oppression
and
Tyranny
,
and
provoke
the
God
of
Heaven
against
him
to
destroy
him
,
and
overthrow
his
Kingdom
,
and
Power
,
and
Government
:
and
this
would
doubtless
be
the
effect
of
receiving
such
a
Mans
Counsel
,
and
of
his
so
proceeding
,
if
that
he
seek
to
pluck
up
what
the
Lord
hath
planted
:
and
if
he
dip
hi●
Hand
in
innocent
suffering
of
God's
People
unjustly
,
and
if
he
reach
forth
his
Hand
to
touch
God's
Anointed
,
and
hurt
the
Peaceable
in
his
Land
,
th●●
shall
the
Lord
take
him
from
his
Authority
,
and
give
his
Dominion
to
another
more
worthy
then
he
:
And
this
is
for
him
to
consider
in
the
coolness
of
his
〈◊〉
.
2.
●f
he
did
proceed
to
do
any
thing
against
us
,
or
be
moved
in
his
heart
●…unto
,
barely
upon
the
report
of
this
,
or
such
other
men
,
without
hearing
Face
to
Face
,
and
lawful
tryal
in
the
matter
,
and
hearing
our
Answer
and
●●fence
,
as
well
as
our
enemies
Charge
against
us
;
then
all
the
Nations
of
the
World
might
condemn
him
;
and
every
sober
Subject
would
cry
in
their
Consciences
against
him
,
for
unjust
judgement
,
and
cruel
proceedings
;
if
he
,
up●●
report
of
others
,
through
prejudice
should
act
against
any
people
;
and
the
Heathen
King
Agrippa
would
rise
up
in
judgement
against
him
,
who
would
not
●●●demn
Paul
from
the
Accusation
of
others
,
without
first
hearing
the
Accused
●imself
:
and
a
Christian
King
ought
to
shew
as
much
Mercy
,
Justice
and
Reason
in
what
he
doth
,
as
the
Heathen
Kings
have
done
in
the
like
case
.
And
let
the
King
consider
this
.
3.
Let
him
also
consider
what
Enmity
,
and
Malice
,
and
Rage
,
is
in
the
hearts
of
these
men
,
these
Priests
I
mean
,
of
whose
Fraternity
and
Alliance
this
our
Accuser
is
one
,
and
how
they
seek
after
innocent
blood
,
who
are
thus
ready
and
●●●●ard
at
his
first
enterance
into
the
Land
,
to
present
the
King
with
Accusations
of
Falshood
and
Reproaches
against
an
innocent
people
,
to
move
his
heart
,
if
possible
,
to
destroy
and
devour
the
harmless
:
The
spirit
and
nature
of
these
men
are
to
be
considered
,
whose
works
are
often
tending
to
shed
blood
;
but
if
he
shall
be
guided
and
counselled
by
such
,
they
will
lead
him
into
the
ditch
:
for
they
are
of
the
spirit
of
Envy
and
Mischief
,
and
Mischief
rests
with
them
,
even
against
all
who
will
not
bow
under
their
Authority
,
and
submit
unto
their
false
Wor●●ips
.
And
let
the
King
beware
of
that
Generation
of
men
,
lest
they
be
a
snare
●pon
him
,
and
wound
him
.
And
I
shall
now
proceed
to
some
other
things
in
his
Book
,
to
that
where
he
●aith
,
He
doth
upon
his
bended
Knees
most
bumbly
beseech
the
King
,
and
the
Honourable
Parliament
,
that
they
will
,
first
,
Cut
off
false
Prophets
,
Hereticks
,
and
perverse
and
incorrigible
Seducers
and
●●●●phemers
;
for
these
are
the
P●st
(
saith
he
)
of
both
Church
and
State
,
〈◊〉
.
Answ.
I
answer
to
this
:
Many
things
are
considerable
to
the
King
and
Parli●ent
,
and
whole
Kingdom
.
1.
It
is
to
be
considered
who
these
false
Prophets
,
Hereticks
,
Seducers
and
●●●●phemers
are
,
which
the
Petitioner
would
have
cut
off
,
and
destroyed
:
●●●m
his
meaning
is
of
,
is
doubtful
;
for
that
there
are
false
Prophets
,
He●…
,
Seducers
and
Blasphemers
in
these
Nations
,
and
that
very
many
;
●●is
is
not
doubtful
,
but
certainly
believed
and
known
:
but
what
sort
of
men
,
〈◊〉
perfectly
who
these
are
,
distinguished
from
all
others
,
this
requireth
〈◊〉
debate
,
and
large
tryal
;
especially
seeing
that
each
sect
and
sort
of
●●ople
cries
against
others
,
as
if
they
were
such
and
such
;
and
this
is
usual
with
●●●●sts
,
Protestants
,
and
others
,
to
cry
for
their
own
Liberty
and
Toleration
,
a
such
who
are
in
the
right
way
;
and
each
one
sort
almost
desiring
and
petiti●●●●●
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
against
others
that
are
not
of
their
way
,
to
de●…
and
cut
off
such
as
differ
from
them
,
as
Hereticks
and
Deceivers
:
but
such
●●●●it
that
seeks
to
destroy
menslives
on
that
account
,
is
of
Antichrist
,
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
God
.
2.
And
if
false
Prophets
,
Hereticks
,
Seducers
,
and
Blasphemers
,
were
cer●…
known
,
and
distinguished
from
others
that
are
not
so
;
yet
the
King
〈◊〉
●●●liament
ought
not
to
destroy
such
,
and
to
cut
them
off
from
the
Earth
,
〈◊〉
●…lling
of
them
,
or
executing
outward
punishments
and
afflictions
upon
〈◊〉
;
for
God
hath
not
committed
such
power
and
authority
to
them
;
nei●●er
to
be
Judges
infallibly
,
who
are
false
Prophets
,
Hereticks
and
Blasphe●●●●
;
●or
yet
to
execute
death
and
outward
sufferings
upon
such
as
are
:
for
these
are
spiritual
matters
and
Causes
,
to
try
and
judge
who
deceivers
are
,
and
to
proceed
towards
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
;
and
these
Cases
belong
to
the
Jurisdiction
of
Christs
Spiritual
Kingdom
,
and
not
to
any
earthly
King●
and
Rulers
at
this
day
.
4.
And
if
King
and
Parliament
were
able
to
judge
of
false
Prophets
and
●lasphemers
,
and
who
they
are
that
are
such
,
from
others
that
are
not
;
yet
how
contrary
to
the
way
of
God
would
it
be
,
even
to
the
example
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
to
destroy
and
cut
off
by
death
the
lives
of
such
false
Prophets
and
Blasphemers
?
for
if
men
be
in
an
evil
way
,
even
in
the
way
of
Heresie
,
and
Error
,
and
Blasphemy
,
and
be
deceived
,
and
deceivers
of
others
,
yet
it
is
not
a
time
to
destroy
and
kill
such
,
like
as
if
such
should
be
sent
straight
to
Hell
,
being
cut
off
in
their
wickedness
and
in
their
Error
.
This
is
not
God's
way
,
I
say
;
for
he
desires
not
the
death
of
sinners
,
not
to
cut
men
off
in
their
Errors
and
evil
wayes
;
but
it
s
rather
the
time
to
instruct
and
exhort
such
,
and
to
correct
and
reprove
them
by
sound
Doctrine
,
and
to
win
them
to
the
Truth
,
and
out
,
of
their
errors
,
that
they
may
be
saved
;
and
this
Christ
and
his
Apostles
gave
example
for
;
for
there
were
many
in
their
dayes
that
were
false
Prophets
,
and
Hereticks
,
Seducers
and
Blasphemers
,
and
that
were
perverse
and
incorrigible
,
that
did
Blaspheme
against
Christ
,
and
called
him
Devil
,
and
that
did
oppose
the
Gospel
,
and
scorned
the
Apostles
;
and
such
were
Blasphemers
and
Hereticks
:
but
did
Christ
and
his
Apostles
at
all
desire
that
such
might
be
killed
,
and
cut
off
by
death
?
Nay
:
they
forgave
their
Enemies
,
and
did
instruct
them
by
sound
Doctrine
,
and
sought
,
to
win
their
Persecutors
,
and
not
to
have
them
killed
,
as
this
Petitioner
would
,
whose
Spirit
is
manifest
to
be
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
Dragon
,
and
not
of
the
Lamb
:
and
if
the
request
were
granted
,
and
the
lives
of
such
as
this
Petitioner
calls
false
Prophets
cut
off
,
then
the
King
and
Parliament
would
rather
provoke
the
Lord
against
themselves
to
destroy
them
,
then
to
give
unto
themselves
blessings
and
peace
.
5.
But
they
being
ignorant
who
the
Deceivers
and
Blasphemers
are
,
and
not
being
equal
and
just
Judges
in
that
case
,
but
also
divided
among
themselves
about
it
;
and
it
being
not
committed
of
God
to
them
,
to
destroy
by
death
of
body
such
as
may
err
in
their
minds
,
by
killing
such
whom
they
may
suppose
false
Prophets
;
and
they
wanting
infallible
judgement
to
know
who
are
false
Prophets
;
how
soon
may
they
destroy
and
cut
off
the
lives
of
true
Prophets
,
and
Christ's
Ministers
,
and
men
that
Fear
God
,
instead
of
false
Prophets
and
Blasphemers
,
even
for
want
of
true
judgement
and
discerning
,
and
because
of
their
own
division
in
judgement
in
that
case
?
for
i●s
possible
that
some
of
the
Parliament
may
judge
such
to
be
Deceivers
,
whom
others
of
them
may
judge
to
be
true
Ministers
;
and
whose
judgement
then
shall
stand
?
and
also
,
thus
it
hath
often
come
to
pass
in
the
World
,
the
true
Prophets
,
and
Christ
himself
,
and
the
holy
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
were
accounted
Deceivers
,
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
,
and
such
like
,
by
th●
Kings
and
Rulers
of
the
World
in
former
Generations
;
and
th●
true
Prophets
,
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
were
persecuted
as
such
,
and
destroyed
as
such
,
some
of
them
,
even
by
the
Kings
and
Rulers
of
this
World
,
till
they
〈◊〉
provoked
God
against
them
,
to
destroy
them
;
and
some
of
them
he
did
bring
wrath
upon
,
because
thereof
.
And
how
easie
a
thing
it
is
for
the
present
King
and
Parliament
to
walk
in
the
same
way
,
even
to
account
the
true
Ministers
〈◊〉
Jesus
Christ
and
his
People
,
through
want
of
infallible
knowledge
,
Hereticks
,
and
Deceivers
,
and
Blasphemers
,
and
to
destroy
them
on
that
account
,
while
Deceivers
may
be
accounted
true
Ministers
by
them
,
even
till
Gods
displea●●●●
breaks
forth
against
them
,
to
confound
them
?
And
this
is
worthy
to
be
consi●●●ed
by
them
,
against
the
evil
counsel
of
wicked
men
,
who
would
lay
snar●●
〈◊〉
their
feet
,
and
cast
stumbling-blocks
before
them
,
that
they
may
be
taken
and
f●●●
,
to
their
overthrow
.
6.
It
is
of
the
Devil
,
the
Dragon
,
and
Antichrist
,
all
this
killing
and
per●●●●ting
of
one
Sect
by
●nother
about
Religion
,
since
th●
Apostles
days
:
the
●…ts
and
Witnesses
have
been
slain
,
and
all
that
would
not
worship
the
Beast
●…e
been
killed
by
the
Dragon
,
the
Devil
and
false
power
,
as
may
be
read
in
the
●velations
;
and
never
any
of
the
true
Churches
of
Christ
,
nor
any
Mem●er
thereof
,
at
any
time
,
in
,
or
since
the
dayes
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
did
ever
kill
,
or
cut
off
by
death
,
nor
sought
so
to
do
,
any
false
Prophet
,
Heretick
or
Blasphemers
;
the
true
Christians
never
proceeded
in
that
way
,
but
forgave
Enemies
,
and
did
win
their
Opposers
by
sound
Doctrine
and
Conversation
,
or
gave
them
up
to
Satan
,
and
separated
from
them
,
but
nev●r
killed
them
;
but
it
was
the
Antichrist
,
the
Wolves
in
Sheep's
cloathing
that
killed
about
Worship
,
even
all
that
would
not
Worship
:
The
Saints
and
Martyrs
,
their
Blood
was
shed
by
the
Beast
,
because
they
would
not
worship
;
and
it
was
the
Whore
that
hath
drunk
all
this
Blood
of
Prophets
and
●ust
Men
,
and
not
the
true
Church
,
who
wars
with
spiritual
Weapons
,
and
●ills
Enmity
,
and
Powers
of
Darkness
;
but
kills
not
Persons
,
nor
wars
with
●arnal
Weapons
.
7.
And
if
they
should
proceed
to
kill
,
and
cut
off
by
death
such
as
are
Hereticks
and
Deceivers
,
who
err
in
their
minds
,
how
unjust
would
that
be
,
to
destroy
the
lives
of
Men
for
the
error
of
their
minds
and
judgements
in
spiritual
things
?
And
this
the
King
and
Parliament
ought
not
to
do
;
though
false
Prophets
,
Hereticks
and
Blasphemers
must
not
escape
unpunished
,
but
ought
to
be
proceeded
against
;
yet
not
in
and
by
the
way
of
killing
and
destroying
mens
lives
;
for
that
is
a
Punishment
not
answerable
to
the
Offence
,
and
every
Offence
ought
to
have
a
Punishment
just
,
equal
and
answerable
to
the
Crime
:
and
to
punish
the
Body
by
death
for
the
error
of
the
mind
in
spiritual
things
,
this
is
not
equal
,
nor
according
to
the
Spirit
of
the
Gospel
;
but
if
any
shall
be
destroyed
,
in
their
Persons
or
Estates
by
Cruelty
,
for
,
or
because
they
are
in
Error
of
Mind
and
Judgement
in
Matters
Spiritual
,
or
may
be
supposed
so
to
be
,
it
is
no
less
then
robbery
and
murder
in
the
sight
of
God
:
And
let
the
King
consider
this
,
and
keep
his
Hands
from
shedding
of
Blood
on
that
account
,
lest
he
provoke
the
Lord
against
him
.
And
now
I
come
to
the
second
Branch
of
the
Petition
,
where
the
Petitioner
doth
request
in
these
words
:
(
saith
he
)
I
most
humbly
beg
your
Grace
,
that
the
●oly
Sabbath
of
the
Lord
,
the
Christian
Sabbath
,
may
by
your
Majesties
strict
Command
,
be
more
religiously
kept
and
observed
then
heretofore
,
&c.
Answ.
I
answer
to
this
:
It
is
well
worthy
to
be
considered
by
the
King
.
1.
That
God
did
indeed
command
the
People
of
the
Iews
to
keep
and
observe
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
for
a
Sabbath
;
and
that
they
should
not
do
any
manner
of
work
therein
,
they
,
their
Servants
nor
their
Cattle
;
but
that
day
●●ould
be
kept
holy
unto
the
Lord
by
them
;
and
to
this
the
Prophets
and
Servants
of
God
in
the
time
of
the
first
Covenant
,
did
instruct
and
exhort
,
upon
the
Penalty
of
God's
Displeasure
against
that
People
of
the
Iews
,
if
they
neglected
to
keep
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
Sabbath
;
and
upon
many
the
Lord
did
execute
Judgement
because
thereof
,
onely
upon
the
People
of
the
I●ws
;
for
to
them
onely
was
commanded
the
observing
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
as
a
Sabbath
,
as
a
Sign
between
God
and
them
.
2.
That
God
never
commanded
the
keeping
of
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
〈◊〉
a
Sabbath
to
the
Gentiles
,
nor
to
any
Nation
or
People
,
saving
onely
the
P●ople
of
the
Iews
,
of
which
people
we
are
not
(
this
Nation
I
mean
)
according
to
the
Flesh
,
after
the
Generation
of
Men
:
we
are
not
of
the
Iews
〈◊〉
of
the
Gentiles
;
and
therefore
the
seventh
day
of
the
week
was
never
commanded
of
God
to
this
Nation
to
keep
as
a
Sabbath
;
neither
can
we
be
con●●mned
or
judged
of
the
Lord
,
though
we
keep
it
not
,
because
it
was
never
commanded
of
God
unto
us
,
nor
to
any
of
the
Gentil●s
,
nor
to
any
but
to
the
People
of
the
Iews
,
as
I
have
said
;
and
it
was
but
a
sign
to
them
;
and
Christ
fulfilled
all
shaddows
,
and
was
the
end
of
the
Law
,
and
the
finishing
of
the
Sabbath
dayes
,
and
in
him
that
Type
was
ended
.
3.
That
the
observing
of
the
first
day
of
the
week
for
a
Sabbath
;
which
hath
been
done
in
this
Nation
for
many
Ages
,
is
onely
by
Tradition
,
and
not
from
any
Command
of
God
,
nor
binding
Example
of
the
Apostles
,
that
we
read
of
:
it
is
not
of
Commandment
from
God
or
Christ
Jesus
.
The
first
day
of
the
week
hath
been
observed
as
a
Christian
Sabbath
but
from
Tradition
,
and
original
Ordination
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
as
themselv●s
do
confess
;
and
the
Protestants
have
taken
it
up
from
them
,
though
it
is
acknowledged
that
the
Scripture
saith
,
The
Saints
and
Churches
of
Christians
in
the
Apostles
dayes
did
meet
together
on
the
first
day
of
the
week
;
for
they
that
witnessed
Christ
come
,
did
deny
Temple-Worship
,
and
first
Priesthood
,
and
Circumcision
,
and
Synagogues
,
and
Sabbath-dayes
,
which
were
a
shaddow
,
Col.
2.
16
,
17.
and
it
s
said
.
They
came
together
on
the
first
day
of
the
week
;
but
that
this
Practise
of
theirs
is
a
Command
to
us
at
this
day
,
or
binding
Example
to
any
Christians
,
that
all
must
keep
the
first
day
of
the
week
as
a
Sabbath
by
force
,
and
upon
such
or
such
Pains
,
Forfeitures
and
Penalties
;
this
I
have
not
learned
,
neither
from
God
,
nor
out
of
the
Scriptures
;
but
it
is
doubtful
to
many
,
even
whether
the
God
of
Heaven
requireth
it
now
of
Christians
and
Believers
,
the
keeping
of
any
one
day
of
the
week
as
a
Sabbath
of
rest
from
all
Labour
,
and
to
observe
that
day
for
Worship
;
and
to
others
it
is
doubtful
,
if
a
day
the
Lord
requireth
,
then
which
day
,
whether
seventh
day
,
or
first
day
of
the
week
,
?
And
concerning
these
Cases
,
there
is
present
Controversie
in
the
minds
of
many
men
.
4.
That
to
force
and
compel
upon
any
Nation
by
violent
Laws
and
Edicts
,
the
observing
any
one
day
as
Sabbath
upon
such
and
such
Penalties
,
and
that
onely
upon
the
ground
of
Tradition
and
long
Custom
,
while
the
Scriptures
in
that
case
are
silent
,
and
fully
determines
not
;
this
is
not
acceptable
unto
God
,
nor
of
any
reward
by
him
,
either
to
him
or
them
that
forces
and
compels
the
keeping
of
a
day
;
nor
in
that
Nation
,
or
from
that
People
that
so
keep
it
by
the
Custom
of
time
,
or
the
Commands
of
Men
,
when
as
their
Consciences
are
not
perswaded
by
the
Spirit
of
God
in
that
case
,
by
which
way
the
God
of
Heaven
is
onely
rightly
worshipped
;
and
the
forcing
of
observing
dayes
and
things
either
against
pure
Conscience
,
or
in
the
ignorance
thereof
,
is
but
Abomination
and
Idolatry
,
both
in
the
Imposers
,
and
in
the
Imposed
;
and
with
such
Sacrifices
God
is
not
well
pleased
.
And
this
is
for
the
King
to
consider
,
whose
greatest
wisdom
it
will
be
,
and
most
pleasing
to
God
in
him
,
neither
to
compel
and
impose
by
Rigour
the
keeping
of
a
day
,
or
observing
of
Practises
as
partaining
to
the
Wor●●●p
of
God
and
Religion
;
nor
yet
to
punish
or
persecute
any
for
the
keeping
any
day
,
or
for
observing
such
or
such
a
Practise
in
Religion
;
but
let
every
Man
do
in
such
Cases
,
even
in
matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
towards
God
,
and
about
Religion
,
as
they
are
perswaded
in
their
own
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
without
either
imposing
upon
them
,
or
persecuting
of
them
in
any
thing
about
Religion
:
and
let
him
onely
rule
and
govern
in
the
Cases
between
man
and
,
man
and
over
men
in
the
exercise
of
earthly
Things
;
but
between
God
and
Mens
Consciences
,
let
him
take
heed
how
he
meddles
;
for
there
he
ought
not
to
rule
nor
judge
,
but
to
leave
that
to
the
Lord
God
,
who
alone
is
sufficient
in
such
things
to
perswade
the
Conscience
,
and
to
judge
and
rule
by
his
Spirit
in
all
the
Matters
of
his
own
Kingdom
,
and
about
Religion
,
●nd
the
Observances
thereof
;
and
this
Trust
and
Power
is
onely
in
himself
,
to
effect
all
this
by
his
own
Spirit
,
and
is
not
committed
to
any
Earthly
King
.
And
how
I
come
to
the
first
Branch
of
his
Petition
;
which
is
in
these
words
:
(
saith
he
)
I
most
humbly
beg
,
That
your
Grace
will
uphold
,
cherish
and
f●ster
a
Learned
and
Pious
Ministry
in
your
Kingdoms
,
who
are
accounted
vile
,
and
laden
with
Reproaches
,
and
such
Ministers
(
saith
he
)
whose
Loyal
Constancy
and
Integrity
doth
bespeak
them
to
be
;
not
time-serving
Polititions
to
g●●tifie
mans
humours
,
and
serve
their
own
Interest
;
but
Lux
mundi
,
Sal
terrae
,
&c.
Answ.
In
answer
to
this
,
let
the
King
wisely
and
soberly
consider
,
1.
That
God
hath
a
faithful
,
pious
and
spiritual
,
learned
and
true
Ministry
,
sent
forth
by
Jesus
Christ
to
convert
people
to
God
from
sin
and
wickedness
,
who
are
indeed
God's
Ambassadors
and
Watch-men
for
souls
,
and
are
Lux
mundi
,
Sal
terrae
;
the
Light
of
the
World
,
the
Salt
of
the
Earth
:
this
is
most
certain
,
and
not
denyed
nor
doubted
of
;
but
who
it
is
,
and
whom
the
Persons
are
,
of
and
amongst
all
the
many
kinds
of
Ministers
and
Sects
that
are
now
in
being
in
the
Nation
,
this
is
very
doubtful
to
many
,
its
possible
to
the
King
himself
,
seeing
here
are
in
this
Nation
divers
sorts
of
Ministers
;
as
Prelates
and
Presbyterians
(
so
called
)
and
divers
other
sorts
;
all
of
whom
saying
,
they
are
the
true
Ministers
,
and
they
are
the
pious
learned
Ministry
and
that
others
are
Deceivers
that
differ
from
them
,
and
this
is
the
cry
of
them
all
;
each
sort
justifying
themselves
,
and
crying
up
their
Ministry
against
others
and
their
Ministry
,
and
this
all
of
them
do
with
pretence
of
proving
their
Ministry
by
the
Scriptures
:
But
the
Case
remains
still
doubtful
to
many
,
who
is
it
,
and
who
is
it
not
,
that
are
the
true
Ministers
,
and
have
the
true
Ministry
sent
of
Christ
Jesus
,
seeing
one
sort
as
well
as
another
do
seem
to
justifie
themselves
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
yet
are
divided
,
and
incontention
among
themselves
,
to
be
killing
and
destroying
,
and
persecuting
one
of
another
,
and
each
sort
of
others
.
2.
If
the
King
without
certain
knowledge
by
the
Infallible
Spirit
of
God
,
who
the
true
Ministers
of
Christ
are
,
and
who
they
are
not
,
distinguished
from
all
others
by
infallible
Evidence
;
if
he
do
establish
and
uphold
any
one
sort
as
the
true
Ministers
,
and
pull
down
and
persecute
others
as
false
Ministers
,
and
be
but
doubtful
in
his
own
Conscience
who
are
the
true
Ministers
,
and
who
are
the
false
;
how
great
danger
doth
he
run
himself
into
,
even
to
justifie
the
Wicked
,
and
condemn
the
Righteous
,
and
possibly
may
establish
and
uphold
a
false
Ministry
instead
of
the
true
,
and
persecute
and
destroy
the
true
Ministry
instead
of
the
false
?
And
this
may
he
soon
effect
,
for
want
of
discerning
and
right
judgement
in
the
Case
;
and
in
so
doing
vex
and
displease
the
Lord
God
,
and
gain
his
Wrath
and
Fury
upon
him
and
his
Government
.
Therefore
it
will
be
great
wisdom
for
him
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
for
to
receive
his
Spirit
,
that
he
may
first
discern
and
try
between
true
and
false
Ministers
and
Ministry
;
and
in
the
mean
time
allow
Liberty
to
all
alike
in
their
Religion
,
while
they
walk
justly
and
soberly
as
men
,
and
are
not
hurtful
to
the
Persons
,
or
just
Estates
of
others
by
their
Religion
.
3.
If
Liberty
be
given
to
one
Sect
,
and
one
kind
of
Ministry
,
in
opposition
to
others
,
and
all
other
prohibited
and
persecuted
;
how
would
this
●●rage
and
vex
the
spirits
of
many
in
the
Nation
against
him
and
his
Government
?
and
while
he
gained
one
sort
of
men
on
his
part
,
and
some
Ministers
to
pray
for
him
,
he
disengaged
divers
sorts
;
and
many
would
seek
God
against
him
;
and
such
proceedings
would
be
both
contrary
to
God
,
and
of
very
bad
effect
in
these
Nations
;
for
men
would
be
provoked
in
their
spirits
not
to
fear
any
dangers
,
rather
then
to
be
held
in
such
captivity
under
the
Ministry
and
Worship
of
such
whom
they
in
Conscience
could
not
joyn
with
;
and
there
is
a
woful
Example
in
this
Nation
of
the
effect
of
such
prohibition
and
force
:
for
was
not
that
very
matter
(
to
wit
)
the
establishing
of
one
●ort
of
Ministers
,
and
persecuting
others
,
one
of
the
principle
Cause
of
the
last
bloody
War
?
And
may
not
the
Nation
fear
the
like
now
,
if
the
same
Ground
be
laid
,
and
the
Foundation
raised
,
as
before-mentioned
?
And
therefore
let
this
enter
into
the
Heart
of
the
King
to
consider
very
weightily
.
But
the
Petitioner
seems
to
define
to
the
King
what
Ministers
he
begs
to
be
upheld
and
cherished
,
in
these
words
;
Such
whose
Loyal
Constancy
and
Integrity
do
bespeak
them
to
be
,
not
time-serving
Polititians
,
to
gratifie
mens
humours
,
and
serve
their
own
sordid
Interests
;
but
Lux
mundi
,
Sal
terrae
,
&c.
Answ.
1.
They
who
are
indeed
the
true
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
are
called
truely
of
him
into
that
work
,
and
are
God's
Ambassadors
,
neither
set
this
Petitioner
a
begging
for
them
,
nor
can
accept
of
this
his
work
;
for
Christ's
true
Ministers
are
no
Beggers
,
neither
seek
to
be
approved
to
Kings
,
nor
any
Men
,
by
Flattery
and
Deceit
,
but
are
approved
to
be
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
sent
of
him
,
by
Doctrine
and
Conversation
,
and
through
Faith
and
Patience
;
and
thus
,
and
after
this
manner
,
were
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
approved
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
even
before
Kings
and
Rulers
,
and
others
;
and
they
did
not
beg
for
themselves
,
nor
any
for
them
,
approbation
to
themselves
and
their
Ministry
before
any
:
so
that
this
Petitioner
is
not
in
the
Spirit
and
Way
as
the
Saints
and
Apostles
were
in
,
who
is
begging
even
by
flattery
,
an
Approbation
of
Ministers
and
Ministry
,
as
he
saith
,
on
his
bended
Knees
,
that
the
Ministry
may
be
upheld
,
maintained
and
established
,
and
that
the
King
would
do
it
.
2.
If
none
are
to
be
upheld
,
and
maintained
and
established
but
such
as
this
Petitioner
hath
described
,
then
not
very
many
of
the
men
of
this
Generation
of
Priests
,
because
they
come
not
under
his
own
proposed
Qualifications
:
For
,
alas
!
the
King
may
say
,
or
without
offence
to
him
,
I
hope
I
may
say
for
him
,
Where
shall
we
find
such
as
are
here
described
?
shall
he
find
one
among
many
?
o●
any
at
all
of
that
Fraternity
,
that
have
not
been
disloyal
,
unconstant
,
and
changable
in
their
wayes
?
And
have
not
they
,
as
for
the
general
part
of
them
,
(
I
mean
,
of
the
Priests
)
turned
every
way
,
and
cryed
up
,
and
prayed
for
this
and
the
other
,
that
would
but
give
them
Money
and
Means
;
and
the
very
self
same
men
sometime
been
for
one
Man
and
his
Government
,
and
in
a
very
little
time
been
quite
contrary
to
that
,
and
so
proved
themselves
absolute
time-serving
Polititians
,
to
gratifi●
mens
humours
,
and
to
serve
their
own
sordid
Interests
?
Doth
not
ten
thousand
in
England
know
this
?
and
may
not
the
King
himself
easily
believe
it
,
and
know
it
;
especially
when
he
considers
who
it
was
chiefly
that
first
preached
and
prayed
up
the
War
against
his
Father
,
and
who
it
was
that
made
so
many
Flattering
Addresses
to
Ol●●●●
Cromwel
,
and
then
to
his
Son
Richard
,
and
then
changed
from
that
way
of
Government
,
and
then
cryed
up
Commonwealth-way
again
,
and
now
are
turned
to
cry
up
him
?
By
all
which
it
doth
appear
,
that
no
one
sort
of
People
in
England
are
so
disloyal
and
unconstant
as
that
Generation
of
Teachers
:
and
who
can
now
put
trust
in
such
,
that
have
thus
served
Times
,
and
been
Men-Pleasers
,
even
for
their
own
ends
?
And
how
shall
the
King
ever
,
without
great
danger
to
himself
,
repose
confidence
in
such
as
are
so
changeable
?
or
how
c●n
any
man
beg
his
upholding
and
establishing
of
them
,
without
shame
to
himself
;
and
that
under
the
name
and
qualification
of
constant
Men
,
and
not-time-serving
men
for
their
own
Interests
,
when
as
these
very
men
called
Ministers
,
for
whom
this
man
is
now
begging
,
are
qualified
quite
contrary
to
his
own
description
?
And
therefore
the
King
hath
reason
enough
to
deny
the
request
,
because
the
general
part
of
men
petitioned
for
,
are
not
Lux
mundi
,
Sal
terrae
,
but
blind
Leaders
of
the
Blind
,
and
changeable
Hypocrites
,
and
the
Oppression
of
the
Kingdom
;
nor
are
they
all
watch-Men
for
Souls
,
but
many
for
Money
and
Hire
,
nor
God's
Ambassadors
,
but
Antichrist's
Ministers
,
who
are
out
of
the
Spirit
and
Doctrine
of
Christ
Jesus
.
And
now
I
shall
proceed
to
the
fourth
Branch
of
his
Petition
,
which
is
expressed
in
these
words
;
(
saith
he
)
I
humbly
beg
your
Grace
,
That
ye
would
uphold
a
liberal
and
sufficient
Maintenance
for
the
learned
Ministry
,
because
Christ
hath
ordained
,
They
that
pr●ach
the
Gospel
should
●●ve
of
the
Gospel
;
not
a
Niggardly
but
Liberal
and
Sufficient
Maintenance
,
that
they
●●y
be
encouraged
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
●●ue
Gospel-Ministers
,
they
beg
not
Means
nor
Money
of
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
but
are
therein
without
care
;
only
careful
how
to
please
the
Lord
,
and
to
fulfil
in
Faithfulness
their
Calling
:
Nor
did
ever
the
Apostles
seek
for
Maintenance
that
way
;
though
its
true
,
the
false
Prophets
,
in
Generations
past
,
they
could
never
have
enough
of
Maintenance
;
but
every
one
of
them
sought
for
his
Gain
from
his
Quarter
,
Isa.
56.
11.
and
the
false
Prophets
and
Priests
they
Preached
for
Hire
,
and
Divined
for
Money
;
and
all
that
would
not
give
them
,
and
put
into
their
Mouthes
,
they
prepared
War
against
them
,
Micah
3.
11.
And
the
false
Teachers
of
old
,
they
taught
for
filthy
●●●re
,
and
by
feigned
words
made
Merchandize
of
people
,
Tit.
1.
11.
2
Pet.

3.
such
as
walked
in
these
practices
in
dayes
past
,
were
reputed
and
taken
for
De●●●vers
and
false
Teachers
,
but
Christ's
Ministers
and
the
true
Prophets
,
and
Apostles
never
went
in
this
Way
;
but
trusted
the
Lord
,
that
sent
them
,
with
●●re
for
all
outward
things
;
yea
,
some
of
them
laboured
with
their
hands
,
that
by
all
〈◊〉
they
might
make
the
Gospel
of
Christ
without
charge
.
2
But
yet
it
is
certain
,
a
Maintenance
to
the
True
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
is
allowed
by
Christ
,
and
by
his
Apostles
;
but
not
by
so
much
Money
a
Sermon
,
〈◊〉
O●e
Hundred
,
Two
Hundred
,
or
Three
Hundred
Pound
,
or
more
or
less
,
as
they
can
bargain
for
,
and
get
by
the
Year
;
nor
the
Tythes
of
mens
Labour
,
and
Encrease
for
Preaching
;
nor
any
forced
and
imposed
Maintenance
whatsoever
:
〈◊〉
a
way
as
this
Christ
never
ordained
that
his
Ministers
should
be
maintained
in
the
World
;
nor
did
the
Apostles
ever
allow
,
institute
or
practice
such
a
way
of
Maintenance
in
their
Ministry
:
But
this
kind
and
way
of
Maintenance
is
altogether
Antichristian
,
and
like
to
the
false
Prophets
way
beforementioned
,
and
not
at
all
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
nor
the
Example
of
Christ's
Gospel-Ministers
in
former
Ages
.
3.
The
Maintenance
which
Christ
and
his
Apostles
allowed
Ministers
,
and
that
Way
whereby
Christ's
Ministers
were
fed
,
and
clothed
,
and
maintained
by
out●●●d
Necessaries
,
was
,
Into
whatsoever
House
that
was
worthy
the
Disciples
entred
,
they
〈◊〉
there
abide
,
and
eat
such
things
as
were
set
before
them
:
For
(
said
he
)
the
●●●kman
is
worthy
of
his
Meat
,
and
the
Labourer
is
worthy
of
his
Hire
.
And
Paul
said
,
〈◊〉
a
small
matter
to
reap
Carnal
things
,
where
they
had
sown
Spiritual
things
;
and
he
〈◊〉
pe●●●heth
the
Gospel
may
live
of
the
Gospel
.
And
that
was
the
way
of
the
Apo●●●●●
Maintenance
,
even
by
Free
Gift
,
from
them
whom
they
had
begotten
〈◊〉
●●e
Faith
;
and
they
that
had
planted
a
Vineyard
might
eat
of
the
Fruit
of
〈◊〉
,
and
he
that
kept
a
Flock
might
eat
of
the
Milk
thereof
;
and
this
was
E●●land
Just
,
That
that
Church
whom
they
had
planted
,
and
among
whom
〈◊〉
laboured
,
should
administer
outward
Necessities
to
them
;
but
yet
they
〈◊〉
not
any
sum
of
Money
,
nor
Tythes
of
Peoples
Estates
,
nor
so
much
〈◊〉
the
year
as
a
Debt
;
for
this
way
was
not
the
way
of
a
Gospel-Main●●●●nce
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
;
but
by
a
FREE
GIFT
of
the
●●●rch
,
and
not
by
Imposition
and
Force
upon
any
were
they
maintained
in
●●●●ward
things
.
4.
Let
the
King
know
,
That
it
is
not
at
this
day
a
just
&
lawful
way
of
Gospel-●●intenance
to
Christ's
Ministers
,
this
forced
way
of
Maintenance
by
Tythes
,
〈◊〉
so
much
Money
a
Year
,
or
claiming
so
much
as
a
Debt
of
those
which
may
〈◊〉
do
not
receive
or
believe
such
a
Minister
is
a
true
Minister
of
Christ
;
and
all
〈◊〉
suing
people
at
Law
,
casting
them
into
Prison
about
Ministers
Maintenance
,
〈◊〉
not
of
God
,
but
Antichrist
,
and
not
after
the
Example
of
Christ's
true
Ministers
,
but
after
the
Example
of
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
:
And
it
is
a
lawful
Maintenance
at
this
day
of
Christ's
Ministers
,
That
each
Minister
be
maintained
by
the
free
Gift
of
the
people
under
his
Ministry
;
and
its
just
,
that
every
Minister
be
maintained
by
the
people
to
whom
he
labours
,
and
that
every
Form
of
Worship
maintain
their
own
Ministers
,
how
,
and
as
they
will
;
and
if
men
preach
the
Gospel
,
let
them
live
of
it
,
and
let
their
Gospel
maintain
them
,
without
begging
Maintenance
of
the
King
,
or
troubling
him
with
such
matters
as
pertain
to
another
state
,
even
to
the
spiritual
Government
of
Christ
,
who
calls
his
Ministers
,
and
gives
his
Gifts
to
whom
he
will
,
and
sends
them
out
whither
he
will
;
and
their
Gospel
hath
effect
to
change
and
convert
people
,
and
to
beget
Love
in
the
hearts
of
people
:
and
such
as
are
begotten
to
God
,
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
can
freely
give
of
their
carnal
things
;
and
a
Minister
of
Christ
cannot
want
any
thing
.
And
therefore
let
not
the
King
be
careful
nor
troubled
about
maintaining
Ministers
,
but
let
him
maintain
his
own
,
how
,
and
as
he
pleaseth
,
and
leave
all
his
Kingdoms
to
the
like
;
that
every
sort
of
people
,
whether
Papists
,
Protestants
,
or
any
others
,
maintain
every
one
their
own
Ministers
,
how
,
by
how
much
,
and
as
they
will
;
and
this
is
the
way
of
Lawful
Maintenance
to
every
Ministry
;
and
not
this
way
of
begging
of
the
King
;
And
that
not
Niggardly
,
but
Liberally
and
Sufficiently
(
saith
the
Petitioner
)
which
shews
Covetousness
and
Impudency
in
any
Beggar
,
that
they
may
be
encouraged
,
saith
the
Petitioner
,
&c.
5.
Now
that
Ministry
whose
Dependancy
is
on
outward
things
,
and
may
be
encouraged
or
discouraged
by
having
or
wanting
large
Maintenance
,
this
Ministry
Jesus
Christ
never
sent
forth
;
but
it
is
of
man
,
and
by
the
Earthly
Powers
,
and
not
of
God
;
for
were
the
Apostles
discouraged
in
the
Work
of
their
Ministry
when
they
were
in
Wants
,
and
Necessities
,
and
Sufferings
,
and
Afflictions
,
as
often
they
were
?
No
;
but
they
approved
themselves
the
more
to
be
Christ's
Faithful
Ministers
thereby
:
And
it
may
be
a
very
certain
Evidence
to
the
King
,
That
such
who
will
not
go
forth
to
minister
without
such
or
such
large
Benefices
and
Maintenance
,
by
so
much
Money
,
Tythes
,
or
yearly
Stipends
,
are
not
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
neither
were
they
ever
sent
of
him
to
preach
his
Gospel
;
but
have
run
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
like
Balaam
,
and
have
not
been
truly
called
by
Christ
Jesus
into
his
Ministry
.
Now
I
come
to
the
fifth
Branch
of
the
Petition
,
which
is
in
these
words
;
I
humbly
beg
your
Grace
,
That
in
order
to
the
establishing
a
learned
Ministry
to
Posterity
,
your
,
Majesty
will
be
a
Fosterer
and
Patron
of
the
Schools
and
Nurseries
of
good
Learning
,
especially
the
two
once
famous
Universities
of
Oxford
and
Cambridge
.
In
Answer
hereunto
,
let
the
King
consider
;
1.
That
the
true
and
lawful
Ministry
of
Jesus
Christ
is
the
absolute
free
Gift
of
God
,
to
whomsoever
the
Lord
is
pleased
to
give
it
:
and
it
is
not
bought
nor
sold
for
Money
,
nor
received
by
Education
and
natural
Learning
;
but
God
gives
the
Gift
of
Knowledge
and
Utterance
,
and
every
part
of
his
Ministry
to
whom
he
will
:
so
the
Apostles
received
the
Ministry
,
and
so
it
is
received
at
this
day
,
by
all
that
have
it
.
It
is
not
a
Natural
Science
,
or
Art
of
Knowledge
or
Utterance
;
but
it
is
the
Gift
of
God
,
and
ever
was
,
whether
to
Plough-men
,
or
Fisher-men
,
or
to
whomsoever
,
as
the
Lord
gives
it
;
for
,
As
every
one
had
received
the
Gift
,
so
they
might
administer
,
as
say
the
Scriptures
.
2.
That
the
Establishing
of
the
Ministry
pertains
to
Jesus
Christ
alone
,
and
that
it
depends
upon
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
to
establish
his
own
Ministry
,
and
to
overthrow
that
which
is
contrary
;
and
the
Lord
alone
will
do
it
,
and
not
man
;
for
it
is
he
that
sendeth
out
Ministers
,
whom
he
will
,
and
he
defends
them
and
establishes
them
against
the
Devil
,
and
all
their
Opposers
:
Neither
did
ever
any
of
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
,
beg
to
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
Maintenance
and
Establishment
;
but
they
knew
the
Lord
,
and
trusted
in
him
,
and
therefore
let
not
the
King
trouble
himself
with
care
in
these
matters
,
but
leave
them
to
the
Lord
,
to
whom
they
do
belong
;
and
let
him
rule
well
in
outward
Affairs
,
and
leave
the
Government
of
the
Church
and
Ministry
to
Christ
Jesus
,
to
whom
only
it
pertains
.
3.
As
for
Oxford
and
Cambridge
,
and
sending
Ministers
from
thence
,
and
making
them
there
,
by
natural
Arts
and
Sciences
,
according
to
the
Custom
there
used
;
there
was
no
such
thing
in
the
Apostles
days
,
as
making
Ministers
at
Schools
and
Colledges
by
natural
Learning
;
but
,
as
I
have
said
,
It
was
by
the
Gift
of
God's
●●●y
Spirit
that
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
were
made
and
sent
forth
:
And
this
way
of
making
Ministers
at
Oxford
and
Cambridge
,
at
Schools
and
Colledges
,
and
all
that
pertains
thereunto
,
as
the
Orders
,
Names
and
Practices
,
for
the
most
part
,
the
very
Habits
and
Degrees
of
Schools
,
and
all
that
stuff
is
all
come
up
since
the
Apostles
dayes
;
and
that
way
of
creating
Ministers
,
and
sending
them
forth
,
was
never
known
not
in
beeing
among
the
Apostles
;
but
much
Abomination
and
Idolatry
is
brought
forth
at
such
places
,
and
in
such
wayes
,
to
the
Grief
and
Vexation
of
the
Lord
God
,
whose
Wrath
will
break
out
like
Fire
,
to
devour
Idolatry
,
with
the
Cause
and
Ground
thereof
.
And
happy
is
that
man
that
partakes
not
of
the
Sins
of
others
,
he
shall
not
partake
of
the
Iudgements
.
And
in
the
last
part
of
the
Petition
,
it
is
craved
;
That
the
Seminaries
of
Sin
and
Satan
,
Wickedness
and
Vice
,
may
be
beaten
down
and
suppressed
,
&c.
Ans.
These
things
are
abounding
which
provoke
the
Lord
to
great
wrath
against
the
Land
:
Oh!
that
indeed
the
King
would
consider
,
that
Iniquity
may
be
stopped
,
and
Righteousness
brought
forth
;
then
should
the
King
,
and
Kingdoms
,
and
Subjects
be
made
Famous
and
Dreadful
through
the
World
:
For
,
because
of
Oppression
and
Wickedness
the
Land
mourns
,
and
the
great
Judgments
of
the
Lord
are
at
the
door
,
except
Repentance
be
made
unto
God
.
And
thus
I
have
in
much
fear
towards
God
,
and
Honour
towards
the
King
,
laid
divers
Considerations
before
him
,
worthy
to
be
minded
,
upon
the
occasion
of
the
Charge
against
us
by
George
Willington
;
and
it
will
be
Wisdom
for
the
King
to
consider
our
Defence
;
as
well
as
of
our
Enemy's
Charge
.

a
Servant

THE
Everlasting
Gospel
OF
REPENTANCE
AND
REMISSION
of
SINS
,
Held
forth
and
Declared
to
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
,
that
they
may
Turn
,
and
be
Converted
to
the
Living
God
,
lest
they
Perish
in
the
Day
of
Vengeance
,
which
is
near
at
hand
.
And
this
is
a
Message
of
Reconciliation
to
all
People
every
where
in
general
,
but
more
particularly
to
the
Inhabitants
of
Ireland
,
and
to
all
sorts
of
People
therein
;
even
to
the
Rich
,
and
to
the
Poor
;
to
the
Professor
,
and
to
the
Prophane
;
that
every
one
may
be
stir'd
up
to
seek
the
Lord
by
Repentance
.
With
certain
Propositions
of
FAITH
laid
down
,
which
every
one
must
believe
,
or
else
they
cannot
be
saved
.
And
certain
Objections
answered
,
relating
to
the
present
dayes

With
the
Way
of
a
Happy
and
Blessed
Government
Discovered
in
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
,

OH
Ireland
!
The
Day
of
God's
Visitation
of
Love
and
tender
Mercy
hath
been
upon
thee
,
to
try
thee
and
to
prove
thee
;
and
the
Lord
would
have
gathered
thy
People
into
Covenant
and
Fellowship
with
himself
,
to
live
in
Love
,
Unity
and
Peace
;
and
the
Lord
would
have
made
thy
Inhabitants
Blessed
,
but
they
would
not
;
but
many
have
refused
the
Day
of
his
Love
,
and
they
have
neglected
his
Loving-kidness
,
and
have
chosen
their
own
wayes
of
Iniquity
and
Unrighteousness
,
rather
then
the
Way
of
Truth
and
Peace
;
Though
the
Lord
hath
often
smitten
,
and
caused
his
Judgments
to
be
known
in
the
Land
,
and
suffered
great
Destruction
in
dayes
past
,
even
Plague
,
Sword
and
Famine
were
sore
upon
thee
,
have
thy
Inhabitants
forgotten
the
Dealings
of
the
Lord
towards
thee
?
Are
his
Judgments
and
Mercies
clean
gone
out
of
Remembrance
,
which
the
Lord
shewed
in
thee
not
many
years
since
?
And
because
of
thy
Iniquities
and
Transgressions
,
which
were
grown
very
great
against
God
,
he
was
angry
with
thee
,
and
provoked
against
thee
,
and
did
give
up
thy
Inhabitants
to
Hardness
of
Heart
,
and
Cruelty
of
Mind
one
against
another
,
so
that
they
were
given
up
to
destroy
and
cut
off
one
another
;
and
Thousands
of
them
fell
through
the
Malice
and
Wickedness
of
each
others
Hearts
,
and
Hands
,
and
cruel
Murders
,
Robberies
,
Treacheries
,
and
a
very
great
Destruction
was
committed
amongst
thy
People
;
and
this
was
because
Iniquity
at
that
day
was
full
,
Pride
and
Oppression
,
Drunkenness
and
Whoredom
,
Double-dealing
and
Treachery
,
and
all
manner
of
Unrighteousness
was
grown
to
the
height
,
and
therefore
did
the
Lord
suffer
a
very
great
Rebuke
in
the
Land
;
and
by
Sword
,
Plague
and
Famine
did
he
plead
with
thy
Inhabitants
for
some
years
together
,
even
that
he
might
humble
thee
,
and
correct
thee
,
and
that
thy
People
might
turn
unto
him
,
and
forsake
their
Iniquities
.
Oh!
why
hast
thou
forgotten
the
Dealings
of
the
Lord
,
running
into
the
same
Abominations
?
For
since
the
Lord
stayed
his
Judgments
,
Iniquity
is
increased
,
even
as
before
:
Though
the
Lord
hath
given
thee
Rest
and
Peace
for
divers
years
,
and
healed
thee
of
thy
Sorrows
and
Miseries
,
and
replenished
thee
with
People
,
and
thou
hast
had
Peace
and
Fulness
for
a
good
season
;
but
yet
thou
hast
not
made
a
right
use
of
these
Mercies
,
as
thou
oughtest
to
have
done
:
Though
the
Lord
hath
shewed
Love
and
Favour
towards
thee
,
in
delivering
of
thee
from
thy
former
Troubles
and
Miseries
;
yet
thou
hast
turned
,
to
thy
own
hu●t
,
●is
Blessings
into
a
Curse
,
through
thy
abuse
of
them
:
And
now
through
Re●…
,
and
Peace
and
Fulness
thy
Inhabitants
are
corrupted
,
and
become
abominably
sinful
,
and
they
have
loaden
themselves
with
Transgressions
,
and
he●ped
up
Wrath
against
the
Day
of
Wrath
,
even
Wrathful
Matter
for
the
W●ath
of
God
;
and
former
Judgments
and
Mercies
seem
to
be
both
forgotten
,
many
having
abused
them
to
their
hurt
,
though
the
Lord
intended
them
for
their
good
;
and
thy
Inhabitants
are
,
as
before
,
many
of
them
hardened
in
Iniquity
,
rather
then
turned
from
it
;
and
they
are
turned
into
their
old
Paths
,
and
drink
of
the
same
Cup
of
Abominations
?
and
Pride
,
and
Oppression
,
and
all
Unrighteousness
,
in
every
part
of
it
,
is
grown
as
high
as
ever
it
was
in
thee
.
Oh!
how
doth
Wickedness
abound
,
Drunkenness
,
Wantonness
,
Vain-Pleasures
,
Envy
,
Wrath
,
Contention
,
Heart-Burning
,
Covetousness
and
Earthly-mindedness
,
Double-dealing
,
False-heartedness
,
Idolatry
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
all
Fruits
of
the
Flesh
,
how
do
they
abound
in
thee
?
even
as
high
as
ever
before
,
as
though
thou
hadst
never
felt
Judgement
because
of
thy
sins
,
and
as
though
thou
hadst
never
tasted
of
Mercy
,
that
thou
shouldst
live
a
better
life
;
but
both
Judgment
and
Mercy
by-past
are
neglected
,
and
the
Remembrance
of
them
worn
out
;
and
thou
hast
said
in
thy
heart
,
We
love
this
world
,
its
Pleasures
and
Vanities
,
and
after
our
wayes
will
we
go
.
Oh
Nation
and
Kingdom
!
this
is
thy
Condition
,
and
thy
present
State
;
Thou
drinkest
up
Iniquity
as
an
Ox
drinketh
Water
,
and
thou
addest
sin
to
sin
,
as
if
all
thou
couldst
do
were
too
little
,
and
like
as
if
thou
wert
appointed
for
no
other
end
but
to
commit
sin
;
and
thou
hatest
Reproof
,
and
despisest
Correction
;
and
him
that
reproveth
thee
thou
countest
thy
Enemy
:
for
the
whole
Pleasure
of
many
of
thy
people
is
in
sinning
against
God
;
and
thus
thou
thinkest
to
serve
him
with
thy
sins
,
and
requitest
the
Lord
evil
for
his
good
towards
thee
,
and
his
Judgments
and
Mercies
have
no
place
in
thy
Heart
;
though
yet
thou
hast
been
warned
for
these
divers
years
,
that
thy
People
should
turn
from
their
Iniquities
,
and
serve
the
Living
God
;
Repentance
and
Forsaking
of
Sin
hath
been
preached
thorough
thee
;
and
Warning
hath
been
given
of
the
Judgments
of
God
,
that
are
to
come
;
but
hereof
hast
thou
taken
no
notice
,
as
thou
oughtest
to
have
done
;
but
thy
Inhabitants
have
despised
the
Lord's
Servants
,
and
persecuted
them
;
and
thou
hast
held
in
Derision
and
under
great
Afflictions
the
People
of
the
Lord
,
and
persecuted
them
for
good
Conscience
sake
.
And
this
is
the
fulfilling
of
Wickedness
in
thee
,
and
the
heigh●
of
thy
Inhabitants
Transgressions
,
in
that
they
have
persecuted
such
who
have
warn'd
them
,
and
despised
the
Lord's
Reproof
,
and
would
not
hearken
to
the
Advice
of
his
People
;
but
do
alwayes
reject
the
Message
of
God's
Light
,
which
reproveth
people
in
their
own
Consciences
,
because
of
Sin
,
that
they
should
turn
from
i●
and
be
saved
;
this
Message
hath
been
proclaimed
thorough
the
Land
,
even
for
some
years
together
,
wherein
the
Lord
hath
visited
thee
with
his
Love
,
that
he
might
gather
thy
People
,
and
condemn
their
Iniquities
,
and
save
their
Souls
;
but
thy
People
have
rejected
this
Message
,
and
would
not
be
turned
from
their
Idolatrous
Wayes
and
Worships
,
nor
from
the
Hypocrisie
of
their
wayes
,
that
they
might
be
healed
:
But
thy
people
have
forsaken
the
Living
God
;
and
rebelled
against
the
Light
;
and
the
Way
of
Peace
they
have
refused
;
and
turned
their
Backs
towards
the
Lord
,
and
not
their
Faces
;
and
after
Covetousness
and
the
Love
of
this
World
they
have
gone
;
though
there
hath
been
a
great
Profession
of
Worship
and
Religion
in
thee
,
much
Preaching
and
Praying
,
Sabboth-keeping
and
professed
Church-Fellowship
,
Ministry
and
Ordinances
,
and
a
Sect
here
of
one
sort
,
and
there
another
,
that
have
cryed
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
and
have
made
a
shew
of
Worships
and
Duties
towards
him
;
yet
notwithstanding
,
Hypocrisie
,
False-heartedness
,
Covetousness
,
Double-mindedness
,
and
the
spirit
of
Pride
,
Ambition
and
Vain-glory
,
have
possessed
the
Hearts
of
both
Teachers
and
People
in
all
the
false
Sects
and
divers
kinds
of
Religion
;
though
they
have
had
a
shew
,
as
if
they
were
the
Lord's
People
,
and
a
Pretence
of
Worship
,
and
Conformity
of
Church-Fellowship
,
&c.
yet
their
Hearts
have
not
been
right
before
the
Lord
:
but
of
these
it
may
be
said
,
Even
they
have
professed
God
with
their
Mouthes
,
and
with
their
Lips
honoured
him
,
and
in
the
very
time
their
Hearts
have
gone
after
Covetousness
,
and
been
far
departed
from
the
Lord
;
and
though
they
have
cryed
,
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
and
we
are
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
Members
of
him
,
and
have
Gospel
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Ordinances
;
yet
these
People
have
walked
in
Pride
,
and
Arrogancy
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
their
Hearts
have
been
Corrupted
in
the
sight
of
the
Most
High
,
and
all
their
Religion
hath
been
but
as
the
Fig-leaves
,
by
which
they
have
sought
to
cover
themselves
,
but
it
cannot
be
.
For
,
Behold
ye
Professors
and
People
of
Ireland
!
God
hath
beheld
your
Hypocrisies
,
and
the
Deceitfulness
of
your
Hearts
and
your
Nakedness
doth
appear
;
for
,
though
you
have
professed
much
of
the
Spirit
and
Spiritual
Things
,
yet
you
have
walked
in
the
Flesh
,
and
brought
forth
the
Fruits
thereof
;
and
your
Garments
of
feigned
Prayers
and
Practices
,
and
your
Profession
of
Church
and
Ordinances
,
will
not
cover
nor
hide
you
from
the
Wrath
of
the
Lamb.
Oh
People
of
Ireland
!
many
of
you
have
been
corrupted
in
your
Hearts
,
and
polluted
in
your
Minds
;
and
from
the
highest
of
you
to
the
lowest
you
are
found
Transgressors
against
God
,
even
from
the
Professor
to
the
Prophane
,
the
Lord
hath
found
no
good
Fruit
amongst
you
well-pleasing
to
him
;
but
four
Grapes
and
bitter
Fruit
have
you
brought
forth
,
even
Fruit
of
a
bad
Taste
and
loathsom
Smell
unto
the
Lord
:
and
now
the
Lord
hath
found
you
out
in
your
Wickedness
,
and
the
Cry
of
your
Iniquities
call
for
Vengeance
;
for
of
you
it
may
be
said
,
Ah
Nation
,
laden
with
Iniquity
!
ab
sinful
People
!
a
seed
of
Evil
doers
;
corrupted
from
the
crown
of
the
Head
to
the
sole
of
the
Foot
:
These
things
are
so
,
and
they
cannot
be
hid
.
But
now
the
Lord's
Purpose
is
,
to
deal
with
thee
because
of
thy
sins
,
seeing
he
is
provoked
against
this
People
by
their
Iniquities
,
who
have
been
disobedient
to
the
Living
God
;
therefore
will
he
renew
his
Judgments
of
old
,
and
with-draw
his
Mercies
,
and
he
will
plead
with
this
People
in
his
Justice
:
his
Judgments
are
at
the
door
,
and
he
will
punish
the
Stout-hearted
,
and
Proud
and
Arrogant
,
till
they
learn
Meekness
and
Humility
:
He
will
correct
the
Transgressors
with
his
Rod
of
heavy
Wrath
,
till
they
turn
to
him
by
Repentance
;
and
all
that
will
not
how
,
and
kiss
the
Son
,
and
cease
from
Evil
,
and
learn
to
do
well
,
they
shall
be
broken
,
and
cut
off
,
and
perish
in
his
Anger
,
and
he
will
never
heal
them
;
even
the
Feller
will
come
upon
thy
People
,
O
Nation
,
who
will
hew
down
thy
Cedars
,
and
cut
up
thy
strong
Oaks
;
the
Fanner
is
coming
upon
thee
to
sift
thee
,
to
preserve
the
good
Grain
,
and
to
separate
the
Chaff
into
the
Fire
;
thy
Strength
will
be
made
weak
,
and
thy
Crown
will
be
trodden
down
,
and
thy
Beauty
shall
be
marred
;
and
all
thy
Glory
and
Might
shall
fade
like
a
Flower
in
that
Day
,
when
the
Lord
of
Hosts
pleads
with
thee
;
and
when
he
rewards
thee
for
thy
Wickedness
,
then
Wo
unto
thee
,
and
unto
all
the
Wicked
,
and
Workers
of
Iniquity
;
and
he
will
cause
them
to
remember
what
they
have
done
:
Thy
Sins
,
O
Nation
,
shall
be
set
in
order
before
thee
,
and
thy
Persecution
of
the
Lords
Servants
shall
be
charged
to
thy
●●●ount
;
and
the
Rod
of
Affliction
shall
reach
close
unto
thee
because
thereof
:
And
as
thy
Rulers
have
done
to
others
,
so
shall
it
be
done
to
them
;
into
Captivity
shall
they
go
,
and
the
Spoiler
shall
come
upon
the
Land
,
for
just
is
the
Lord
,
and
his
Iudgment
altogether
equal
;
and
though
he
be
Long-suffering
and
of
great
Forbearance
,
yet
he
forgets
not
to
plead
with
his
Enemies
,
and
to
Plague
the
Ungodly
,
nor
to
shew
Mercy
to
them
that
trust
in
him
:
And
doubtless
there
is
a
Cup
of
Wrath
prepared
for
the
Wicked
to
drink
,
and
it
seemeth
to
be
near
;
even
a
Day
of
great
Wrath
and
Tribulation
upon
Sinners
and
Transgressors
,
who
have
rejected
the
Lord
,
and
despised
his
Reproofs
,
and
would
not
receive
the
Message
of
the
Light
of
the
World
,
that
they
might
be
healed
.
Wherefore
Repent
,
Repent
,
all
sorts
of
People
,
all
Sinners
and
Transgressors
;
Tremble
before
the
Lord
ye
Stout-hearted
and
Rebellious
Children
:
Wo
unto
ye
unjust
Rulers
and
Judges
,
that
have
exercised
unjust
Judgment
in
the
Land
,
that
have
judged
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
that
have
turned
aside
just
Judgment
,
Mercy
and
Truth
,
and
that
have
persecuted
the
Innocent
without
just
Cause

Wo
unto
you
that
have
been
Oppressors
of
the
Poor
and
Needy
,
ye
that
have
not
judged
for
the
Lord
,
as
ye
ought
to
have
done
;
but
have
been
Ambitious
,
and
Vain-glorious
,
and
puffed
up
in
the
Flesh
by
high
Titles
,
and
Places
of
Honour
.
Ye
that
have
exalted
your selves
above
your
Brethren
,
and
sought
Honour
of
Men
,
and
loved
the
Honour
of
this
World
mor●
than
the
Honour
of
God
;
Wo
unto
you
,
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord's
Judgment
is
at
hand
,
and
an
Account
of
your
Stewardship
must
you
give
.
Ye
that
should
have
judged
in
Mercy
,
and
Truth
and
Equity
,
but
have
perverted
just
Judgment
,
and
made
the
Innocent
Offenders
,
and
have
not
been
a
Praise
to
them
that
do
well
,
nor
a
Terror
to
Evil-doers
,
as
ye
ought
to
have
been
;
Wo
unto
you
,
and
to
the
Oppressing
and
Flashearted
Lawyers
,
and
that
Train
,
who
have
been
greedy
of
Gain
and
served
your
own
Ends
,
and
sought
Riches
to
your selves
,
and
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
hath
not
been
freely
pleaded
by
you
.
Wo
unto
all
ye
that
have
made
a
Trade
of
doing
Judgment
and
Justice
,
and
have
been
exercised
in
the
Law
for
your
own
Ends
,
and
not
singly
for
the
Lord
.
Tremble
ye
Sons
of
Wickedness
,
ye
that
have
exercised
the
Power
of
Antichrist
and
the
Beast
;
for
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
are
at
hand
to
be
executed
upon
you
.
Wo
unto
you
Great
and
Rich
Men
,
ye
Covetous
and
Earthly
Worldlings
,
●e
that
have
made
your selves
Rich
by
Oppression
,
and
Grinding
the
Faces
of
the
Poor
,
that
have
got
Gain
by
Hard-dealing
,
and
added
Land
to
Land
;
and
Field
to
Field
,
and
that
have
over-reached
the
Ignorant
,
and
oppressed
the
Widdows
and
Fatherless
,
and
that
have
exercised
Cruelty
and
Hard-dealing
to
your
Tenants
and
Servants
,
and
have
laid
heavy
Yoaks
upon
such
with
whom
you
have
dealt
,
and
that
have
made
your selves
Great
and
Rich
in
the
Earth
by
such
means
;
Wo
unto
you
,
Misery
is
coming
upon
you
:
Weep
and
Howlye
Earthly
,
Greedy
,
Covetous
Wretches
of
this
World
,
who
have
sought
Riches
more
than
the
Lord
,
and
gotten
Gain
by
Oppression
and
Over-reaching
your
Neighbours
;
your
Riches
,
so
gotten
,
shall
never
prosper
,
no●
be
blessed
to
you
;
but
shall
be
a
Curse
to
you
,
and
your
Children
:
And
your
Covetousness
will
God
plague
;
Ye
that
have
gotten
Goodt
,
and
not
by
Right
,
shall
leave
them
in
the
midst
of
your
dayes
.
Wo
unto
you
Carnal
Minds
;
all
the
Treasures
of
them
are
corruptible
;
your
Lands
,
Gold
and
Silver
are
fading
Treasures
:
The
Day
of
the
Lord's
Judgments
are
at
hand
upon
you
,
and
the
Rod
of
his
Wrath
will
smite
you
;
and
ye
shall
have
Poverty
and
want
instead
of
Fulness
and
Excess
,
and
ye
shall
have
Leanness
and
Barrenness
,
and
God
will
plead
with
you
in
the
way
you
have
sinned
against
him
:
The
Time
of
your
Visitation
draws
near
.
Wo
unto
you
Merchants
,
Traders
,
Buyers
and
Sellers
,
that
have
been
Double-Dealers
and
Double-Tongued
,
and
dealt
deceitfully
in
your
Commodities
with
your
Neighbours
:
Wo
unto
ye
that
have
got
Gain
by
Double-dealing
,
and
by
feigned
and
flattering
Speeches
have
beguiled
one
another
,
and
sought
to
out-reach
in
your
Bargaining
every
man
his
Brother
;
these
things
have
ye
done
,
O
ye
Covetous
Men
!
ye
have
even
robbed
the
Poor
by
your
Craft
and
Guileful-dealing
,
by
your
smooth
and
flattering
Tongues
;
and
if
any
amongst
you
could
not
use
Fraud
,
and
Dissemble
,
such
have
been
your
Prey
and
Scorn
;
and
it
s
your
Use
to
discommend
a
Commodity
when
you
buy
it
,
and
to
praise
it
when
you
sell
it
;
and
ye
make
a
fair
out-side
to
please
the
Eye
,
and
ye
use
multitude
of
words
and
fair
speeches
,
and
dec●ive
the
Simpl●
,
and
get
Gain
by
Oppression
,
Craft
and
Deceit
:
Wo
unto
you
,
Repent
of
this
your
sin
;
Cleause
your
Hearts
,
you
Sinners
;
and
purifie
your
Hearts
,
you
Double-minded
.
I
charge
you
by
the
Lord
,
Give
over
your
Double-dealing
,
and
deceitful
Merchandize
;
cease
to
Lye
and
Defraud
;
cease
your
Flattery
and
Feigned
words
,
and
speak
the
Truth
every
one
to
his
Neighbour
;
and
come
out
of
your
Iniquities
;
use
not
a
bad
Conscience
any
longer
,
for
its
a
fearful
Abomination
against
the
Lord
:
But
mind
the
Light
of
Christ
in
you
,
which
will
convince
you
in
your
Consciences
of
your
noughty
and
sinful
wayes
;
and
that
Light
will
exercise
your
Consciences
to
do
the
Truth
and
speak
the
Truth
to
your
Neighbours
in
all
things
,
and
this
is
Blessed
,
and
the
Gain
that
is
thereby
gotten
is
not
a
Curse
;
for
ye
ought
in
all
your
wayes
to
reverence
the
Lord
,
and
respect
him
,
that
he
should
lead
you
and
guide
you
in
your
exercise
of
all
Earthly
things
;
For
the
Earth
is
the
Lord's
and
the
Fulness
thereof
,
and
it
ought
to
be
exercised
to
his
Glory
:
and
there
is
suffient
in
this
Creation
for
all
People
,
and
therefore
covet
not
Earthly
things
one
from
another
,
neither
oppress
nor
over-reach
one
another
about
them
;
neither
treasure
up
Earthly
things
,
while
the
Poor
want
;
for
if
ye
do
,
you
hide
your selves
from
your
own
Flesh
,
laying
Field
to
Field
till
there
is
no
Place
for
the
Poor
;
and
Wo
unto
such
,
the
Day
of
the
Lord
will
be
upon
you
:
But
learn
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
how
to
be
ordered
,
and
how
to
order
all
things
of
this
Creation
,
and
be
in
Unity
and
good
Agreement
amongst
your selves
;
and
do
not
fall
out
,
nor
strive
,
nor
contend
,
nor
envy
one
another
about
Earthly
things
;
but
if
ye
have
much
,
or
if
ye
have
little
,
be
contented
with
what
you
have
,
and
do
not
grind
the
Hearts
and
Consciences
one
of
another
to
get
Earthly
things
,
for
they
will
fade
and
perish
away
;
and
seek
not
after
that
which
perisheth
,
but
after
that
which
is
unto
Eternal
Life
:
For
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
and
his
Judgments
upon
all
Oppressors
,
Double-dealers
and
False-hearted
Flatterers
,
that
are
Covetous
of
Earthly
things
.
Wo
unto
all
ye
Drunkards
and
Swearers
,
Whoremongers
and
Prophane
Persons
,
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
are
upon
you
unawares
;
ye
that
destroy
the
Creation
upon
your
Lusts
,
that
are
rnn
into
the
Excess
of
Wine
and
Beer
,
and
that
covet
it
excessively
,
and
that
drink
till
ye
inflame
your selves
,
and
spend
your
time
in
it
;
ye
are
like
the
Beasts
of
the
Field
,
and
like
the
Swine
that
wallow
in
Filthinefs
;
ye
pervert
the
right
use
and
End
of
the
good
Creatures
of
God
,
and
spend
them
upon
your
Lusts
,
and
have
not
regard
unto
the
Living
God
;
and
one
sin
even
begets
another
,
Drunkenness
begets
Swearing
,
and
prophane
Words
,
and
Whoredom
and
beastly
Affections
;
and
thus
ye
add
sin
to
sin
,
and
heap
up
one
sin
upon
another
,
con●●ary
to
the
Light
in
your
own
Consciences
;
and
thus
ye
serve
〈◊〉
●…il
and
Satan
,
committing
Iniquity
with
both
hands
,
as
it
were
,
by
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

swearing

taking
the
Name
of
the
Lord
in
Vain

〈◊〉
Sp●●●●es
,

falling
out
one

;
and
your
Minds
are
e●●ed
〈◊〉
the
Lord

〈◊〉
abuse
your selves

your
〈◊〉
Bodies
,
which
were
made
f●●
the

God
,

not
〈◊〉

and
ye
slay
your
own
soul●
by
your
own
Iniquities
,
and
mames
provoke
the
Lord
to
destroy
both
Soul
and
Body
:
Wo
unto
you
,
〈◊〉
●lagues
of
God
are
your
Portion
,
and
Misery
your

here
and
hereafter
;
〈◊〉

left
the

〈◊〉
Iniquities
when
he
comes
to
Judg●ment
;
〈◊〉
if
you
continue
in
them
〈◊〉
can
never
be
pardoned
,
but
you
si●
unto
death
,
and
the
Lord
will
come

you
suddenly
;
for
ye
that
followed
Drunkenness
and
Prop●●●ess
,
you
live
contrary
to
the
Light
in
your
own
Consciences
,
and
you
sin
against
your
knowledge
,
against
that
Knowledge
that
God
hath
given
you
;
and
this
is
your
greatest
sin
,
even
because
ye
do
the
things
which
ye
know
ye
shoul●
not
do
,
〈◊〉
the
Light
in
your

Consciences
doth
she●
you
,
that
these
things
are
evil
before
you
do
them
;
but
ye
doing
the
things
contrary
to
the
Light
in
your
〈◊〉
Consciences
,
this
makes
your
Crime
〈◊〉
,
and
your
sin
u●pardonable

〈◊〉

continue
in
sin
and
prophaness
,
contrary
to
the
Reproof
of
God's
Spi●●●
〈◊〉
your

Wherefore
ye
prophane

cease

the

come

suddenly
to

Wo

are
〈◊〉
in
Sins

ye
that

who

Wo

the

ye
Hypocrites

ye

〈◊〉
ye

the

the

ye

God
in

ye

ye
take
Christ's
words

the
Apostles
words

and
use
your

when
God
never

O

ye

ye

the

though
you
say

your

the

Man

and
the

is
not

the

the

your

your

God
judge

his
Wrath

go

God

cloath

with
Zeal

Wo

the

while
you

the

will
come

;
therefore
repent

hear

Wo

ye
Diviners

the
Day
of

ye
have
deceived
souls
for
dishonest
Gain
,
ye
have
run
and
never
were
sent
of
God
,
and
ye
have
not
profited
the
People
at
all
,
and
ye
have
taken
the
Name
upon
you
of
Ministers
of
Christ
,
when
he
never
sent
you
forth
;
and
you
have
kept
a
prating
and
preaching
up

down
,
and
run
for
Gifts
,
and
Reward
,
and
Hire
;
ye
have
deceived
the
World
,
and
the
Blood
of
Souls
rests
upon
you
;
O
ye
Generation
of
Serpents
!
Poyson
hath
lodged
under
your
Tongues
,
your
Hear●●s
have
been
rotten
,
and
your
Tongues
feigned
and
full
of
Flattery

you
have
been

Canker-worms
in
the
Earth

that
have
corrupted
the

World
;
whom
have
not
ye
deceived
by
your
Lyes

false
Divinations

Whom

you
cryed
Peace
unto
,
if
they

and
Hire
?
What
Form
of
Religion
would
not
you
take
up
for
advantage
to
your selves
?
how
often
have
you
turned
from
one
Way
to
another
?
Oh
ye
false-hearted
men
!
the
God
of
Heaven
will
shew
you
no
Mercy
;
ye
are
the
men
that
have
made
the
Earth
drunk
with
false
Faith
and
false
Doctrines
,
and
with
Contention
and
Dissention
,
sometime
preaching
up
one
Government
,
sometime
another
;
and
sometime
being
for
one
way
of
Worship
,
and
sometime
for
another
;
Treachery
hath
lodged
in
your
Hearts
above
all
others
;
ye
have
eaten
up
the
sin
of
the
People
,
and
cryed
Peace
unto
the
Ungodly
:
Wo
unto
ye
that
have
gone
in
Cain's
way
,
that
have
bred
Contention
,
Persecution
,
Strife
and
Emulation
amongst
People
,
and
that
have
gone
in
Balaam's
way
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
would
do
any
great
man
a
Pleasure
,
and
even
curse
the
People
for
Money
;
ye
have
been
such
as
all
the
holy
Prophets
cryed
against
,
your
Fruits
and
Works
declare
it
;
ye
have
sought
for
your
Gain
from
your
Quarter
,
and
could
never
have
enough
,
such
as
Isaiah
cryed
against
,
Chap.
56.
and
such
as
Micah
cryed
against
,
Micah
3.
That
preached
for
Hire
,
and
divined
for
Money
,
and
leaned
upon
the
Lord
,
and
cryed
Peace
to
them
that
would
give
Money
,
and
prepared
War
against
them
that
would
not
;
and
these
things
have
you
done
,
some
of
ye
Teachers
and
Priests
;
and
ye
have
been
blind
Watch-men
,
and
ye
have
been
idle
and
lazy
Shepherds
,
such
as
Ezekiel
cryed
against
,
Chap.
34.
that
ruled
over
People
with
Force
and
Cruelty
,
and
killed
them
that
were
fed
,
and
did
not
heal
the
Diseased
,
nor
strengthen
the
Weak
,
but
pusht
with
the
Horn
at
such
as
went
astray
from
you
;
and
idle
and
lazy
Shepherds
have
you
been
,
who
have
not
fed
the
Flock
with
living
Food
,
but
you
have
caused
them
to
drink
of
the
foul
Waters
,
and
thei●
Souls
are
lean
and
barren
under
your
preaching
;
Oh
look
into
your
Flocks
,
and
see
what
Fruit
is
brought
forth
by
them
,
and
what
may
be
gathered
from
them
!
Oh
the
abundance
of
Pride
and
Wickedness
,
of
Ambition
and
Vain-glory
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
the
love
of
this
World
,
Lying
and
Double-dealing
,
and
all
the
Fruits
of
the
Flesh
!
How
do
they
abound
amongst
the
Flocks
of
your
Fold
?
who
are
in
their
fruits
,
and
by
their
works
not
the
Sheep
of
Christ's
Pasture
,
but
are
like
Goats
and
Wolves
under
your
teachings
;
can
ye
behold
this
and
consider
of
it
,
and
not
be
ashamed
of
the
fruit
of
your
Wayes
;
What
have
ye
brought
forth
these
many
years
;
Or
what
profit
have
the
People
received
from
you
,
who
are
yet
in
their
sins
,
unturned
from
them
,
and
not
converted
to
God
?
whereby
it
appears
you
have
run
,
and
never
were
sent
,
because
the
People
are
not
profited
at
all
;
and
it
grieves
the
Heart
of
the
Righteous
to
look
into
your
Vine-yards
,
and
to
s●●
such
bad
fruit
growing
;
you
have
been
sloathful
Tillers
,
and
have
not
sown
the
good
Seed
in
the
Hearts
of
the
People
,
but
the
seed
of
corruption
brings
forth
fruit
in
them
,
and
your
Vine-yards
are
like
barren
and
untilled
Ground
,
that
is
unplowed
and
undigged
,
and
unplanted
with
Trees
of
Righteousness
:
Oh
ye
have
been
unprofitable
Vineyard-Dressers
,
and
ye
have
laboured
for
your selves
,
and
not
for
the
Lord
,
as
is
manifest
;
and
ye
have
been
idle
and
lazy
,
and
the
God
of
Heaven
is
weary
of
you
,
and
the
time
is
at
hand
he
will
pluck
you
up
by
the
Roots
,
and
visit
you
with
great
Destruction
,
and
your
name
shall
be
a
Reproach
amongst
men
;
for
ye
have
not
sought
the
Lord's
Honour
,
but
your
own
;
and
ye
have
been
changable
in
your
Ways
for
your
own
advantages
;
ye
have
preached
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
through
Covetousness
made
Merchandize
of
People
;
and
ye
have
traded
with
the
Scriptures
,
and
made
a
Trade
of
the
preaching
the
Gospel
;
and
ye
have
made
Traffick
of
the
Souls
of
Men
:
and
these
things
have
you
done
,
and
the
Lord
hath
kept
silence
,
and
he
hath
forborn
to
smite
you
,
and
therefore
have
you
been
hardened
the
more
in
your
Transgressions
,
as
though
the
Lord
took
no
notice
;
and
you
have
filled
your
Hands
with
dishonest
Gain
in
your
unrighteous
Wayes
,
and
your
sins
are
increased
every
day
against
the
God
of
Heaven
;
you
repent
not
when
you
are
warned
,
but
reject
reproof
,
and
go
on
without
fear
;
ye
are
a
company
of
proud
men
,
heady
and
high-minded
Men
,
ambitious
and
self-seeking
Persons
,
even
such
as
the
Prophets
,
Christ
and
the
Apostles
marked
forth
for
Deceivers
,
and
your
Fruits
and
Works
do
preach
it
;
ye
have
been
covered
with
Sheep's
cloathing
in
your
unrighteous
natures
,
and
your
Iniquities
are
almost
full
,
and
the
Lord
wi●●
bring
unresistable
Destruction
upon
you
,
in
a
Day
when
you
cry
,
Peace
,
Peace
,
then
sudden
Destruction
will
come
:
Wo
unto
you
,
because
of
your
Iniquities
,
the
Earth
is
weary
of
you
,
which
ye
have
corrupted
through
your
false
wayes
,
and
the
Kingdoms
groan
under
your
Oppressions
,
and
the
Earth
will
spue
you
out
,
and
the
People
,
whom
you
have
deceived
,
shall
rise
up
in
judgment
against
you
;
the
dreadful
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
upon
you
,
the
Apostates
from
the
Life
and
Faith
of
Jesus
Christ
,
fo●
of
that
Race
you
are
,
even
of
them
Apostates
that
went
out
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
that
went
in
Balaam's
way
,
and
Cain's
way
,
for
ye
are
of
the
spirit
that
kills
and
persecutes
People
about
Worship
and
Sacrifices
,
and
Religion
,
as
Cain
did
;
and
you
go
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
even
as
Balaam
did
:
these
things
are
so
,
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
Consciences
shall
answer
,
and
all
People
shall
acknowledge
the
truth
hereof
in
the
day
when
God
pleads
with
all
the
Wicked
.
All
People
return
and
repent
of
your
Iniquities
,
the
dreadful
day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
ye
Sinners
and
Transgressors
,
ye
hypocritical
Professors
and
profain
Persons
,
the
day
of
Vengeance
is
at
hand
;
whither
will
you
fly
,
and
where
will
you
leave
your
glory
?
where
will
you
seek
a
defence
,
or
where
can
you
be
hid
?
the
Mountains
will
not
cover
you
,
nor
the
Rocks
will
not
fall
upon
you
;
the
Wrath
of
the
Lamb
you
cannot
escape
,
even
the
long-suffering
of
God
will
be
turned
into
a
flame
of
Anger
,
and
Patience
will
be
turned
into
sharp
Rebuke
,
the
Wrath
of
the
Lamb
will
utterly
smite
you
,
and
the
Cup
of
God's
Indignation
you
must
drink
,
all
the
Earth
must
taste
of
it
,
and
the
Wicked
shall
drink
the
dreggs
;
wherefore
all
ye
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
forsake
your
Transgressions
,
that
the
Lord
may
not
cut
you
off
for
ever
,
but
let
God
arise
to
de●●●oy
your
Iniquities
,
and
to
save
your
Souls
,
let
him
take
Vengeance
upon
your
Inventions
,
that
he
may
forgive
you
:
Oh!
why
will
you
dye
,
why
will
you
perish
?
the
Lord
would
have
you
to
return
,
that
he
might
save
you
.
And
this
is
the
day
of
your
Visitation
,
the
door
of
Mercy
is
yet
open
for
a
little
season
,
and
the
Lord
yet
calls
unto
you
for
a
moment
;
but
the
time
is
at
hand
,
that
he
who
is
filthy
,
shall
be
filthy
still
,
and
that
determination
shall
be
passed
,
Come
,
ye
Blessed
,
and
,
Go
ye
Cursed
;
the
doleful
sentence
shall
be
pronounced
to
all
workers
of
Iniquity
,
Into
everlasting
Burning
must
they
depart
,
prepared
for
the
Devil
and
his
Angels
,
and
shall
not
see
the
Countenance
of
the
Lord
to
refresh
their
soul
,
but
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
and
of
the
Lamb
,
shall
the
Wicked
be
tormented
:
Wherefore
hear
and
tremble
,
all
ye
Transgressors
that
live
and
act
contrary
to
your
knowledge
,
and
against
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
own
Consciences
;
and
this
is
your
great
sin
,
for
which
the
wrath
of
God
cometh
,
not
because
you
have
acted
in
Ignorance
and
without
knowledge
,
but
because
you
have
acted
against
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
,
and
sinned
against
your
knowledge
,
and
done
the
things
which
you
know
were
evil
before
you
did
them
:
and
because
hereof
you
are
not
to
be
excused
,
but
the
burden
of
your
own
sins
,
and
the
guilt
of
them
will
fall
heavy
upon
you
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
;
For
this
is
the
Condemnation
of
the
World
,
that
Light
is
come
into
it
,
but
you
have
loved
Darkness
rather
than
Light
,
and
followed
evil
deeds
and
loved
them
,
and
this
is
contrary
to
the
Light
that
is
come
into
the
World
,
and
which
hath
enlightned
your
own
Consciences
.
Certain
Propositions
of
Faith
laid
down
,
which
every
one
must
believe
,
or
else
they
cannot
be
saved
.
I.
NOw
none
can
be
saved
from
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
but
they
who
are
saved
from
their
Sins
;
for
Sin
bring
the
Wrath
of
God
upon
the
Conssciences
of
men
,
and
Anguish
upon
Soul
and
Body
;
and
who
are
not
saved
from
Sin
,
canot
be
saved
from
Wrath
;
for
Wrath
pursues
the
Guilty
,
and
he
that
doth
evil
,
sin
lies
at
his
door
,
and
continual
anguish
upon
his
spirit
because
of
sin
,
and
the
load
and
burden
of
the
Body
of
Death
oppresseth
his
soul
,
and
anger
from
God
kindleth
in
his
Breast
,
because
he
hath
sinned
;
and
he
knows
he
is
guilty
of
Transgression
,
and
the
Lord
wounds
him
in
his
Conscience
,
and
no
man
in
that
state
can
speak
peace
unto
him
,
nor
can
any
save
him
from
the
Wrath
of
God
,
because
he
is
not
saved
from
his
Sin
,
nor
from
the
guilt
of
it
;
but
his
grief
and
burden
is
,
because
he
hath
sinned
against
the
Light
in
his
own
Conscience
:
And
therefore
whosoever
will
be
saved
from
Wrath
,
must
be
saved
from
Sin
,
and
Christ
must
purifie
his
heart
,
and
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
must
sanctifie
him
,
and
his
Conscience
must
be
cleansed
from
the
guilt
of
Transgression
,
and
Christ
must
live
in
him
,
and
he
must
live
the
Life
of
Faith
,
which
gives
victory
over
all
Sin
,
or
else
he
cannot
be
saved
with
the
Salvation
of
God
eternally
.
II.
Again
,
whosoever
will
be
saved
with
the
salvation
of
God
,
must
own
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
in
his
own
Conscience
,
and
he
must
believe
in
this
Light
and
walk
in
it
,
even
the
Light
in
his
Conscience
,
that
convinces
him
,
and
checks
him
for
his
evil
de●ds
,
and
that
lets
him
see
what
sin
he
is
guilty
of
;
you
must
believe
in
this
Light
,
and
follow
it
,
and
depart
from
that
,
and
forsake
that
Iniquity
which
it
convinces
you
of
,
and
do
that
Good
which
it
moves
your
hearts
unto
,
or
else
you
can
never
be
saved
;
for
if
you
continue
in
evil-doing
,
contrary
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
your
own
Consciences
,
you
are
in
a
condemned
condition
,
and
you
cannot
be
justified
of
the
Lord
,
while
you
are
accused
by
the
Light
within
you
,
of
such
and
such
sins
,
and
that
you
are
guilty
of
them
,
and
sorsake
them
not
;
for
the
God
of
Heaven
condemneth
and
justifieth
men
according
to
the
Witness
of
the
Light
in
their
own
Consciences
;
for
it
is
Gods
Evidence
,
to
bear
witness
for
God
,
and
to
accuse
or
excuse
every
man
in
his
sight
,
and
according
to
its
evidence
,
God
justifieth
or
condemneth
all
the
Children
of
men
.
III.
Again
,
Whosoever
will
be
saved
,
must
be
born
again
of
the
seed
of
God
,
and
must
be
changed
and
renewed
in
Mind
and
Heart
,
and
Spirit
;
and
old
things
must
pass
away
,
and
all
things
must
be
made
new
;
and
a
new
Nature
must
live
in
you
,
and
the
Image
of
God
must
be
brought
forth
,
which
is
in
Righteousness
and
true
Holiness
,
which
is
like
unto
God
;
and
this
is
the
new
Creation
,
which
every
one
must
witness
to
be
wrought
in
them
that
ever
●●●●ers
into
Gods
Kingdom
;
For
saith
Christ
,
Except
a
man
be
born
again
he
can●●●
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
for
it
is
not
a
profession
of
Religion
made
with
the
Lips
,
nor
the
practises
of
Duties
and
Ordinances
taken
on
and
performed
in
the
old
nature
,
and
a
holding
of
truth
in
unrighteousness
;
this
is
not
the
way
of
Salvation
,
but
it
is
the
regenerating
and
making
like
unto
God
,
being
his
Image
of
Justice
,
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
it
is
this
in
which
men
may
be
saved
everlastingly
.
IV.
Again
,
Whosoever
will
be
saved
,
must
receive
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
it
must
dwell
in
them
,
even
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
;
and
they
must
be
taught
by
it
,
and
led
into
all
Truth
,
to
do
the
Truth
,
and
speak
the
Truth
in
all
things
;
even
the
spirit
of
Truth
must
be
received
,
to
teach
and
to
lead
in
all
the
wayes
of
God
;
it
alone
must
teach
;
and
all
the
Hireling-Teachers
of
the
World
must
be
turned
away
from
,
by
whom
peoples
souls
have
been
deceived
;
all
such
as
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
them
;
that
have
cryed
up
T●●ching
and
Ministry
,
and
through
whom
people
have
not
received
the
Spirit
of
th●
Father
,
all
such
Teachers
must
be
denyed
,
their
Church
and
Ministry
;
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
must
only
teach
and
lead
;
and
you
must
walk
in
the
Spirit
,
and
not
after
the
Flesh
;
for
if
you
walk
after
the
Flesh
,
in
the
wayes
and
works
of
it
,
you
are
in
the
state
of
Condemnation
,
and
not
of
Salvation
:
and
the
Spirit
of
God
doth
not
teach
you
,
but
you
are
out
of
the
New
Covenant
of
God
;
in
which
Covenant
all
are
taught
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
Righteousness
are
they
established
:
the
Spirit
of
God
is
put
within
them
,
and
the
Law
of
God
is
written
in
their
hearts
;
and
they
need
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
as
the
Spirit
teacheth
:
and
this
is
the
New
Covenant
of
Peace
with
God
,
into
which
all
must
come
to
witness
this
,
or
else
they
cannot
be
saved
.
V.
Again
,
all
that
will
be
saved
,
must
be
sanctified
,
cleansed
and
purified
from
all
Unrighteousness
,
by
the
Spirit
and
Word
of
God
,
whereby
every
Heart
must
be
made
clean
,
and
every
Conscience
sprinkled
with
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
;
and
the
body
of
sin
and
death
must
be
put
off
,
and
the
bondage
of
Corruption
must
be
broken
,
and
Iniquity
must
be
forsaken
,
and
turned
from
,
and
si●
must
be
judged
in
the
Flesh
,
and
Purity
,
Holiness
and
Righteousness
must
live
and
reign
in
all
that
will
be
saved
;
and
Sin
and
Transgression
,
and
the
guilt
of
it
must
be
removed
;
and
you
must
shew
forth
the
Image
of
God
in
Holiness
and
Righteousness
;
and
must
be
pure
,
as
he
is
pure
,
in
kind
and
quality
;
and
you
must
walk
in
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
being
freed
from
Corruption
,
and
from
the
Wayes
of
Sin
and
Death
,
being
sanctified
in
Body
,
Mind
and
Spirit
,
by
the
Word
of
the
Lord
;
and
Sin
must
be
blotted
out
,
and
Transgression
must
be
covered
,
and
Iniquity
must
be
remembred
no
more
,
and
in
all
things
you
must
cease
to
do
evil
,
and
learn
to
do
well
,
if
ever
you
will
be
saved
.
VI.
Again
,
whosoever
will
be
saved
must
witness
Christ
revealed
in
yo●
,
●●d
●e
must
live
in
you
,
and
you
must
be
Followers
of
him
wheresoever
he
go●s
●●d
your
Bodies
must
be
the
Temples
of
the
Living
God
;
and
God
must
walk
〈◊〉
you
and
dwell
in
you
,
according
to
his
Promise
;
and
he
must
be
your
King
,
your
Judge
and
Law-giver
,
your
Teacher
,
Father
and
Master
,
and
he
must
be
〈◊〉
in
all
unto
you
,
even
God
the
Father
who
is
blessed
for
ever
;
you
must
●●ow
him
near
you
,
and
feel
his
Presence
in
you
,
to
be
your
Joy
,
Life
and
●eace
;
and
you
must
have
fellowship
with
him
in
spirit
,
and
must
worship
him
〈◊〉
Spirit
,
and
by
the
Spirit
,
without
respect
of
Dayes
,
Times
or
Places
:
every
one
that
will
be
saved
must
come
into
this
,
and
witness
it
;
for
this
is
the
way
of
the
Salvation
of
God
.
VII
.
Again
,
whosoever
will
be
saved
,
must
live
in
the
Power
of
Godlin●ss
,
and
must
deny
all
Forms
of
Religion
without
the
Power
;
all
Profession
of
Scriptures
,
Ordinances
,
Church-member-ship
,
Praying
and
Preaching
,
which
is
not
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
by
his
Spirit
,
must
be
denyed
,
and
that
part
that
holds
it
,
(
that
holds
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
)
must
be
crucified
;
and
every
one
must
come
into
the
Power
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
must
witness
that
to
work
in
them
,
to
will
and
to
do
;
and
no
more
professing
the
Things
of
God
,
but
as
they
are
witnessed
by
the
work
of
his
Spirit
in
their
hearts
:
you
must
not
hold
Truth
any
longer
in
unrighteousness
,
nor
make
a
profession
of
it
in
your
your
unrighteous
minds
;
no
more
talking
of
Justification
and
Redemption
,
nor
of
any
of
the
matters
of
Gods
Kingdom
,
but
according
as
they
are
witnessed
by
the
working
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
the
heart
:
and
every
one
must
feel
in
himself
the
evidence
and
Testimony
of
the
Spirit
of
God
to
witness
the
Truth
in
his
heart
(
or
Conscience
)
of
what
he
professeth
with
his
mouth
.
VIII
.
Again
,
Whosoever
will
be
saved
,
must
witness
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
fulfilled
in
themselves
:
the
things
that
they
have
read
of
without
them
,
must
be
wrought
within
them
,
wrought
in
their
hearts
by
the
same
Spirit
as
g●ve
forth
the
Scriptures
;
they
must
pass
through
the
same
conditions
as
the
holy
men
of
God
did
;
and
the
same
truth
that
the
Scriptures
declare
of
,
must
be
revealed
in
the
heart
,
by
the
same
Spi●it
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
and
none
must
profess
more
than
they
do
enjoy
from
God
;
and
all
flesh
must
be
silent
from
speaking
of
the
things
of
Gods
Kingdom
,
which
they
have
not
seen
,
handled
,
tasted
and
felt
,
by
the
working
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
Consciences
:
and
this
is
to
witness
the
Scriptures
fulfilled
,
when
you
have
experience
of
the
same
conditions
,
and
of
the
same
operations
and
manifestations
which
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
passed
through
and
bad
experience
of
;
and
so
that
you
may
speak
what
you
have
heard
,
and
seen
,
and
handled
,
and
tasted
of
the
Word
of
Life
:
All
that
will
be
saved
must
come
to
this
,
and
witness
it
.
IX
.
Again
,
Whosoever
will
be
saved
,
must
believe
in
Jesus
Christ
,
and
receive
him
;
and
they
must
take
up
his
daily
cross
and
follow
him
;
and
must
know
him
to
mortifie
and
crucifie
them
to
the
World
:
and
he
must
work
the
same
things
in
you
by
his
Spirit
spiritually
,
as
he
wrought
without
you
in
his
Person
,
or
else
you
have
no
part
in
him
,
nor
salvation
by
him
:
For
it
is
not
enough
unto
eternal
life
,
only
to
believe
that
there
was
such
a
one
as
a
Christ
,
and
that
he
did
and
spoke
such
and
such
things
at
a
distance
without
you
;
for
many
may
make
a
belief
and
a
profession
of
this
,
and
yet
perish
;
but
Him
that
was
,
of
whom
you
read
,
without
you
,
must
you
receive
,
and
witness
within
you
;
and
you
must
know
Him
as
he
was
before
Abraham
was
,
and
before
the
World
was
;
and
He
himself
by
his
Spirit
in
you
must
give
you
the
knowledge
of
Himself
,
what
He
was
before
the
beginning
,
what
he
is
now
,
and
what
he
shall
for
ever
be
.
X.
Again
,
Every
one
that
will
be
saved
,
must
come
up
out
of
the
Apostacy
into
which
all
Christendom
hath
been
fallen
,
and
must
come
into
the
same
Spirit
,
Life
and
Power
,
as
the
Apostles
were
in
;
from
which
Life
,
Spirit
and
Power
,
all
Christendom
have
been
Apostates
,
and
they
have
held
the
words
and
practices
of
the
Apostles
without
the
same
Life
and
Power
,
and
made
Sects
,
Churches
and
Ministers
,
but
out
of
the
same
Life
and
Spirit
as
the
holy
men
of
God
were
in
;
and
all
that
will
be
saved
,
must
be
restored
and
received
into
the
same
Spirit
and
Life
in
their
Churches
,
Ministry
and
Ordinances
,
as
the
Apostles
of
Christ
Jesus
were
in
:
and
this
is
Restoration
,
when
People
come
again
into
the
same
Life
and
Spirit
of
God
,
which
the
Apostate
Christians
have
all
wanted
,
and
been
in
the
Form
of
Ministry
,
Churches
,
Religion
and
Godliness
,
without
the
Power
:
And
unto
this
is
the
Lord
God
restoring
People
,
his
Day
is
dawned
,
and
his
everlasting
Light
is
risen
,
and
his
Name
will
be
known
in
the
Earth
:
and
none
can
be
saved
with
the
Salvation
of
God
,
but
who
believe
,
receive
and
understand
these
things
.
A
General
Objection
answered
.
●…ject
.
1.
And
whereas
there
is
a
great
cry
by
some
People
of
late
,
That
there
must
be
no
private
Meetings
,
but
all
People
must
come
to
Church
(
as
they
say
)
●●d
that
there
must
be
no
more
Conventicles
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
Conventicles
,
I
understand
you
mean
Meetings
out
of
publick
Steeple-houses
,
and
that
there
must
be
no
private
Meetings
for
preaching
and
Praying
,
but
all
People
must
be
forced
to
come
to
publick
Places
of
Worship
.
Now
I
say
,
If
the
Authority
that
is
now
set
up
,
and
hath
the
Power
,
doth
exercise
it self
in
this
way
,
then
the
God
of
Heaven
will
be
provoked
against
it
,
to
overthrow
it
and
confound
it
,
if
it
proceed
contrary
to
the
End
of
just
Rule
and
Authority
ordained
of
God
,
which
is
for
the
punishment
of
them
that
do
evil
things
between
man
and
man
;
but
not
to
impose
upon
mens
Consciences
,
in
things
relating
to
the
Worship
and
Service
of
God
:
But
the
Lord
God
〈◊〉
wholly
Judge
in
such
Matters
,
and
not
any
Man
;
and
if
any
Men
〈◊〉
er●
in
their
Minds
concerning
Faith
,
and
Doctrine
,
and
the
Worship
of
,
God
,
that
belongs
to
the
Lord
to
punish
,
and
not
to
any
Earthly
Authority
.
And
what
,
must
not
the
People
of
God
come
together
to
worship
the
Lord
in
Spirit
and
Truth
?
Must
not
People
conveen
together
in
this
Age
,
as
the
People
of
God
did
in
Ages
past
?
Did
not
Christ
many
times
preach
in
the
D●sert
,
and
sometimes
in
a
Ship
by
the
Sea-side
,
and
someti●es
on
a
Mountain
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Scriptures
?
And
did
not
he
often
preach
unto
the
Pharisies
,
and
sometimes
to
his
Disciples
,
out
of
the
publick
Synagogues
?
And
might
not
the
Iews
have
called
those
Meetings
Conventicles
,
because
they
were
not
in
their
publick
Synagogues
?
And
also
,
did
not
the
Apostles
and
Saints
,
after
the
Resurrection
of
Christ
,
when
they
returned
from
Ierusalem
,
meet
together
privately
?
for
they
went
into
an
upper
Room
,
and
waited
upon
the
Lord
,
an●
continued
with
one
accord
in
Prayer
and
Supplication
:
And
again
,
at
a●…er
time
,
they
were
about
an
hundred
and
twenty
in
number
,
that
were
in
one
Place
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
Peter
preached
unto
them
;
and
were
these
Meetings
Conventicles
,
because
they
were
not
in
a
publick
Synagogue
,
but
in
〈◊〉
upper
Chamber
,
and
in
a
private
Place
?
And
thus
the
Saints
of
old
met
together
,
as
ye
may
read
,
Act.
1.
and
worshipped
God
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
and
preached
and
prayed
;
and
must
not
the
People
of
God
now
meet
together
to
pray
and
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
but
they
must
be
reproached
with
th●
〈◊〉
of
Conventicles
,
and
threatned
and
punished
for
so
doing
?
Oh
how
blind
i●
this
Generation
,
and
how
contrary
to
the
true
Christian-Spirit
in
their
Practices
!
And
did
not
Philip
preach
Jesus
unto
the
Eunuch
in
a
Chariot
,
as
〈◊〉
●ent
on
the
way
?
and
this
was
not
in
a
publick
Synagogue
,
as
in
Act.
8.
〈◊〉
●id
not
Peter
preach
to
Cornelius
,
with
many
others
,
in
Cornelius
his
house
?
〈◊〉
●is
was
a
Meeting
,
and
not
in
a
Synagogue
,
Acts
10.
And
did
not
the
●…les
and
Saints
meet
together
in
an
Upper
Chamber
,
where
Paul
preached
until
midnight
amongst
the
Saints
?
Act.
20.
and
was
this
a
Conventicle
,
and
a●
unlawful
Meeting
?
Might
not
the
Iews
have
said
,
this
was
an
Unlawful
Assembly
,
being
in
a
Chamber
,
and
not
in
a
Publick
Synagogue
?
And
again
,
Did
not
Paul
preach
in
his
own
Hired
House
for
two
whole
years
together
,
and
received
,
all
that
came
in
unto
him
?
Act
,
28.
And
here
were
Privat●
Meetings
out
of
Publick
Synagogues
.
But
did
the
Iews
threaten
them
,
and
inflict
sufferings
upon
them
,
because
they
met
in
private
houses
,
and
would
not
come
to
their
Synagogues
and
Publick
Worship
?
or
did
they
reproach
them
with
the
name
of
Sectaries
and
Conventiolers
,
when
they
met
together
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
sometime
in
praying
,
and
sometime
in
preaching
?
And
thus
you
may
see
by
many
Examples
,
that
the
Saints
and
true
Christian
Churches
in
the
dayes
of
old
met
together
,
sometime
on
Mountains
,
and
sometimes
in
Deserts
,
and
sometime
in
Upper
Chambers
,
their
own
hired
houses
,
and
not
in
the
publick
Synagogues
;
but
they
were
gathered
from
the
Temple
and
first
Priesthood
,
and
from
the
Worship
which
God
had
once
commanded
,
which
stood
in
outward
things
and
Ordinances
;
and
when
they
had
received
the
substance
,
they
denyed
the
shadows
,
types
and
figures
,
and
did
not
uphold
them
any
longer
:
And
they
were
gathered
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
into
the
second
and
new
Covenant
,
and
they
met
together
in
private
Houses
,
and
upper
Chambers
,
and
by
the
Sea-side
to
preach
and
pray
,
and
to
worship
the
Lord
;
and
we
do
not
read
that
the
Iews
persecuted
them
for
so
doing
.
And
will
you
that
have
the
name
of
Christians
persecute
the
People
of
God
,
though
they
meet
together
in
private
houses
,
and
their
own
hired
houses
,
and
cannot
come
to
your
Temples
and
Steeple-houses
?
And
will
not
you
suffer
such
to
meet
together
out
of
your
Publick
Places
,
but
you
will
persecute
them
,
and
call
them
Hereticks
,
and
such
like
?
Is
not
this
worse
than
ever
the
Iews
did
to
the
Apostles
?
And
so
you
are
out
of
the
Example
of
the
true
Christians
,
who
met
together
,
and
preached
and
prayed
often
,
and
not
in
a
Synagogue
or
Publick
Place
;
but
you
cry
against
them
that
do
so
,
and
threaten
to
persecute
for
it
:
and
thus
you
shew
your selves
out
of
the
true
Christian
Example
,
and
in
this
you
are
worse
than
the
Iews
and
more
cruel
,
if
you
should
persecute
People
for
meeting
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
in
their
own
houses
,
or
in
what
place
or
time
,
as
the
Lord
should
move
their
hearts
;
but
if
you
proceed
in
this
way
,
and
will
not
permit
the
People
of
God
to
meet
together
in
their
own
hou●●
and
not
in
your
Idol-Temples
;
then
the
Power
of
the
Lord
will
confound
you
,
and
God
will
break
you
to
peices
,
and
you
will
feel
his
heavy
Wrath
upon
your
Consciences
,
and
God
will
smite
you
with
his
Judgements
inwardly
and
outwardly
.
Now
for
your
restraining
of
people
from
one
way
of
Worship
,
and
forcing
them
to
another
,
and
compelling
them
about
Religion
by
cruel
Laws
and
Commandments
of
men
;
this
is
of
Antichrist
,
for
you
to
do
;
and
of
the
Devil
:
for
all
forcing
of
People
to
this
kind
of
Worship
,
and
from
another
,
〈◊〉
posing
upon
their
Consciences
in
matters
of
Gods
Kingdom
;
this
is
also
of
●…tichrist
,
and
contrary
to
Christ
and
his
Way
;
for
he
won
People
by
sound
Doctrine
;
and
by
Love
,
and
by
a
good
Conversation
;
and
so
did
his
Disciples
,
for
they
never
forced
any
by
outward
violence
to
their
Worship
,
nor
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Church-Government
and
Ordinances
:
but
it
was
the
practice
of
the
Beast
,
and
the
Dragon
,
that
first
forced
People
,
and
compelled
them
〈◊〉
●●●ship
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
Rev.
13.
It
was
Antichrist
that
first
〈◊〉
upon
People
in
the
Ignorance
of
their
Consciances
,
and
contrary
to
their
●…ences
,
by
the
Commandments
of
men
,
false
Faith
,
false
Worship
,
false
Ministry
,
false
Doctrine
,
and
false
Religions
;
so
that
now
,
if
you
should
force
any
contrary
to
their
Consciences
,
to
your
Steeple-houses
,
to
〈◊〉
and
say
your
Form
of
Prayers
,
we
shall
say
then
you
are
Antichrist
,
〈◊〉
of
the
Devil
,
if
so
be
you
should
endeavour
to
compel
any
,
either
against
〈◊〉
Consciences

in
the
Ignorance
of
their
Consciences

to
your
way
of
Worship

Religion

Therefore
take
heed
how
you
meddle
in
these
things
,
lest
God
confound
you
.
And
as
for
us
,
we
are
the
People
of
God
,
we
fear
his
Name
,
and
worship
him
,
and
cannot
bow
to
the
Devil
;
and
we
need
not
be
forced
to
worship
the
Lord
,
for
his
Spirit
leads
us
into
all
Truth
,
and
we
need
none
of
your
outward
Prescriptions
,
or
Form
of
Prayers
,
for
the
Spirit
of
God
teacheth
us
in
all
these
things
,
when
,
and
where
,
and
how
we
should
worship
the
Lord
God
,
who
is
a
Spirit
,
and
will
be
worshipped
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
which
is
free
,
and
not
by
outward
force
;
and
all
the
Worship
that
is
otherwise
,
and
not
in
the
free
Spirit
of
Christ
,
is
of
great
Babylon
,
whom
the
Lord
will
confound
and
destroy
.

Again
,
whereas
it
is
said
by
some
,
Now
there
must
be
no
more
private
Preachers
,
unlearned
men
,
and
men
not
ordained
must
not
now
preach
anymore
;
Lay-Persons
must
not
be
Preachers
that
are
not
so
qualified
,
nor
so
and
so
ordained
:
and
this
is
the
present
talk
among
some
People
.
Answ.
To
this
I
also
answer
,
and
say
,
Wo
to
them
that
would
stop
,
or
quench
,
or
limit
the
Spirit
of
God
in
Sons
or
Daughters
;
for
such
are
Denyers
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
Power
of
God
;
and
such
bring
guilt
upon
their
own
Consciences
,
and
work
fearful
Abomination
against
God
.
And
what
,
must
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
speak
now
,
where
it
is
,
in
this
Age
,
as
it
did
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Scriptures
;
for
,
was
not
Elisha
a
Plow-man
,
and
was
not
he
called
from
the
Plow
,
1
King
.
19.
and
became
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord
unto
the
House
of
Israel
,
and
had
the
spirit
of
Elijah
poured
upon
him
?
and
would
not
you
have
said
he
was
a
Lay-man
,
a
Plow-man
,
unordained
,
not
fitting
to
preach
,
if
you
had
lived
in
his
dayes
?
And
was
not
A●●●
called
from
following
the
Flock
?
who
had
been
no
Prophet
,
nor
no
Prophets
Son
but
an
Herds-man
,
Amos
7.
14
,
15.
and
it
was
lawful
for
him
to
preach
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
though
he
was
but
an
Herds-man
and
had
been
no
Prophet
,
nor
Prophets
Son
;
which
if
he
had
lived
in
your
dayes
,
you
would
have
called
him
a
Lay-man
,
an
unfit
Person
,
unlearned
,
and
one
not
ordained
for
the
Ministry
:
and
you
,
like
Amaziah
the
wicked
Priest
of
Bethel
,
would
now
quench
the
Spirit
,
as
he
would
have
done
in
Amos
,
who
was
a
Trades-man
,
and
such
a
one
as
you
call
Lay-men
,
who
are
not
(
as
you
say
)
fitting
to
preach
.
And
did
not
Christ
Jesus
himself
chuse
Fisher-men
,
and
sent
them
forth
to
preach
the
Gospel
,
and
such
as
were
men
of
Trades
,
and
unlearned
in
Books
,
as
it
is
written
,

When
the
Ru●●●s
saw
the
boldness
of
Peter
and
John
,
and
perceived
they
were
Unlearned
,
they
●●velled
;
and
these
were
Ministers
of
Christ
,
and
preached
the
everlasting
Gospel
,
whom
you
would
have
called
Lay-men
,
and
men
unfit
to
preach
,
〈◊〉
you
lived
in
their
dayes

And
Paul
himself
by
Occupation
was
a
Tent-●…er
,
it
is
said
,
and
he
laboured
with
his
Hands
,
and
yet
was
a
Preacher
of
the
Gospel
;
and
there
are
multitudes
of
Witnesses
in
the
Scriptures
of
these
things
,
how
that
men
of
Trades
,
and
unlearned
in
Letters
and
Books
,
and
never
were
brought
up
at
Schools

Colledges

followed

such
as
these
in

〈◊〉
had
the

God
given
them
,

they
preached
the
Gospel
:
And
what
if
the

at

give
his

such
as
these

will
you

his

and
now
call
them

and
say
they

for
they

say
you
;
and
calling
them
Mechannicks
and
private
Preachers
,
and
〈◊〉
they
must
not
now
be
admitted
to
preach
the
Gospel
;
and
in
this
you
〈◊〉
the

the

the
Saints
in

and
so
neither
〈◊〉
the

the

gave
them
forth
:
though
you
say
,
〈◊〉
own
the
Scriptures
,
yet
if
the

things
come
to

which
they
declare
〈◊〉
you
deny
them
in

against
such

wit●…
the

which
shews
you
are
of
Antichrist

and
that
you
quench
the

which
God
hath
promised
in
the
New
Covenant
,
that
he
would
give

upon
Sons

and
they
shall
prophesie
:
And
are
not

What

God's
Promises
be
fulfilled
?
must
not
an
Heards-man

if
the

and
must
not
Plow-men
now
speak

and
must
not
Fisher-men

Tent-makers
bear
witness

the
Name

saith

As

so
let

or
do
you
say
,
None
must
have
the
Gift
of
the
Spirit
,
but
such
as
are
brought
up
at
Schools

Colledges

or
will
you
limit
the
holy
One
to
such

such
Men

Wayes
?
Oh
you
are
blind
and
ignorant
,
who
would
quench
the
Spirit
of
God
,
that
it
should
not
speak
in
these
dayes

and
thus
you
are
denyers

but
God
hath
given

in

Hearts

Now
for
your
way
of
making
Ministers
at
Schools
and
Colledges
,
and
so
quallifying
them
with
knowledge
in
the
seven
Sciences
,
as
it
is
said
,
and
ordaining
them
in
that
manner
and
way
,
as
among
Papists
and
Protestants
hath
been
practised
for
Ages
;
this
way
of
making
Ministers
,
and
sending
of
them
forth
,
was
never
known
among
the
Apostles
;
for
they
were
not
thus
made
and
ordained
,
and
sent
to
preach
,
nor
was
this
way
of
making
and
sending
forth
Ministers
,
till
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
was
lost
and
forsaken
by
the
Apostate
Christians
;
and
the
Scriptures
make
no
mention
of
such
ways
,
nor
give
no
Example
for
such
things
;
and
we
cannot
own
any
Religion
,
nor
any
Practice
thereof
,
but
what
we
have
Example
for
from
the
Saints
of
old
before
us
:
and
we
believe
that
it
is
generally
of
Antichrist
,
to
invent
and
introduce
such
and
such
Practices
for
Religion
towards
God
,
and
for
the
Worship
of
him
,
for
which
there
is
no
Example
in
all
the
Christian
Churches
in
the
Apostles
dayes
:
and
we
believe
that
way
of
making
Ministers
,
and
sending
of
them
forth
,
which
is
not
approveable
by
the
Scripture
,
,
nor
according
to
them
,
is
of
Antichrist
,
and
not
of
God
;
neither
can
we
own
such
Ministers
nor
their
Ministry
,
who
are
not
ordained
of
God
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
nor
can
we
deuy
private
Preachers
nor
their
Ministry
,
as
you
call
them
,
if
they
have
received
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
though
they
be
not
so
learned
outwardly
,
nor
ordained
according
to
what
some
may
call
the
right
way
;
but
who
are
Ministers
,
made
and
sent
of
God
,
and
have
the
Authority
of
his
Spirit
,
such
we
own
,
and
cannot
deny
;
and
such
the
Lord
will
bless
with
his
Presence
,
to
the
confounding
of
all
their
Enemies
.
Concerning
Settlement
in
a
happy
Government
.
Object
.
There
hath
been
great
Divisions
and
Distractions
in
these
Nations
for
many
years
;
and
in
the
midst
of
them
the
great
cry
hath
been
by
many
for
Settlement
and
Peace
,
and
for
a
quiet
and
happy
Government
.
Answ.
These
things
hath
the
Lord
suffered
to
come
to
pass
in
the
World
;
even
great
Contentions
,
Divisions
and
distractions
,
and
much
Changes
of
Government
in
these
Kingdoms
;
And
the
appearing
Cause
of
these
things
,
hath
been
from
the
Lust
that
hath
warred
in
the
Members
;
for
from
thence
doth
Wars
and
Strife
arise
:
and
many
have
been
Ambitious
,
Vain-glorious
,
Self-seeking
and
Covetous
of
the
Honours
and
Pleasures
of
this
World
;
the
lust
and
desire
of
these
things
hath
possessed
the
minds
of
Men
,
and
induced
them
to
Envy
and
Wrath
one
against
another
,
and
hath
filled
them
with
Heart-burnings
,
and
cruelty
of
mind
,
to
the
killing
and
destroying
of
one
another
,
by
Wars
and
Blood-sheds
,
and
by
Plots
and
Contrivances
have
sought
how
to
extinguish
one
another
from
the
Earth
,
that
themselves
might
be
exalted
:
and
thus
from
the
desires
that
have
warred
in
mens
minds
,
have
Wars
arisen
against
the
Persons
of
Men
,
and
among
them
:
and
this
is
the
appearing
Cause
of
the
Wars
and
Distractions
that
have
been
in
these
Nation
,
though
the
hidden
cause
(
which
hath
not
so
appeared
)
hath
been
in
God
;
and
because
of
the
wickedness
of
Men
,
both
high
and
low
,
and
because
of
their
Oppressions
and
Abominations
,
which
have
been
many
and
great
in
the
World
;
therefore
hath
the
God
of
Heaven
been
provoked
in
just
Judgement
towards
Rulers
and
People
,
to
suffer
Men
to
destroy
one
another
,
and
to
execute
Bloodshed
and
Destructions
one
upon
another
;
and
he
hath
brought
it
to
pass
,
in
giving
up
men
to
the
fulfilling
of
their
cruel
intents
,
which
have
been
hatched
in
their
evil
Minds
,
every
Man
against
his
Neighbour
,
and
even
because
they
have
been
departed
out
of
his
Counsel
,
and
followed
their
own
wicked
Wayes
,
and
Justice
,
and
Mercy
,
and
Truth
have
been
wanting
amongst
Men
in
these
Nations
;
so
that
this
is
the
principal
cause
wherefore
the
Lord
God
hath
brought
about
and
suffered
these
Wars
,
Distractions
,
Confusions
and
Discord
in
these
latter
dayes
;
and
out
of
the
justness
of
God's
Judgments
,
because
of
the
wickedness
of
men
,
have
these
things
been
.
And
now
these
Distractions
,
and
confusions
and
Discords
amongst
Men
can
never
wholly
and
truly
cease
to
be
,
till
Iniquity
and
Transgression
be
repented
of
,
and
turned
from
,
which
is
the
very
cause
wherefore
God
hath
done
and
suffered
these
things
,
as
I
have
said
;
and
so
Men
must
cease
from
Oppression
,
from
Cruelty
,
and
from
all
Unrighteousness
,
and
must
turn
to
the
Lord
,
and
become
cleansed
from
their
Sins
,
ere
ever
the
Judgements
of
the
Lord
be
removed
,
and
these
Distractions
,
Wars
and
Confusions
cease
to
be
in
these
Lands
;
and
till
Men
become
Meek
and
Humble
;
and
till
they
cease
to
seek
revenge
one
of
another
;
and
till
they
cease
all
Oppression
and
Covetousness
,
Injustice
and
Unmercifulness
;
and
till
they
forsake
their
worldly
Honour
and
high
Titles
,
which
puff
them
up
in
Arrogancy
and
Ambition
;
and
even
till
every
Man
forsakes
his
particular
Iniquity
;
till
all
these
things
be
,
Distractions
will
not
cease
,
nor
shall
Settlement
,
and
Peace
,
and
happy
Government
ever
be
:
This
is
certainly
so
;
for
except
the
Cause
be
removed
,
the
Effect
can
never
cease
:
and
there
appears
to
be
at
this
day
as
great
(
if
not
far
more
)
Dissatisfactions
in
the
Minds
of
some
People
,
than
hath
been
heretofore
;
and
it
appears
to
be
as
far
from
Settlement
and
true
Peace
in
an
happy
Union
in
Government
,
as
for
many
years
;
though
it
hath
been
expected
by
many
,
that
we
should
have
Peace
and
Settlement
in
Government
,
yet
,
behold
it
cannot
be
;
for
there
are
Discontents
and
Murmurings
in
the
Minds
of
Men
,
and
Unsettlement
in
their
spirits
,
and
the
Foundation
of
a
happy
Government
is
not
yet
discovered
unto
many
;
nor
do
the
People
walk
in
the
way
of
Peace
;
but
Iniquity
is
abounding
,
Oppression
and
Cruelty
yet
lives
,
Hard-heartedness
and
Envy
,
Pride
and
Ambition
,
are
not
yet
cut
down
,
neither
in
all
the
Governours
,
nor
in
the
Governed
:
and
this
is
not
the
way
of
Peace
and
true
Settlement
;
but
it
is
the
way
of
Troubles
and
Distractions
,
and
the
very
Foundation
of
great
Distractions
and
Wars
,
rather
than
of
Settlement
and
happy
Government
:
These
things
are
so
,
and
therefore
true
Peace
and
settlement
in
good
Agreement
,
who
can
expect
?
because
the
ground
of
Distractions
and
unsettlement
is
continued
and
increased
,
rather
than
abated
and
removed
amongst
〈◊〉
,
and
the
true
Foundation
of
Peace
and
settlement
in
happy
Government
,
is
not
yet
raised
up
amongst
men
;
but
because
Injustice
and
Oppressi●●
are
continued
,
therefore
will
God
be
provoked
to
bring
Distractions
,
Wars
and
Tribulations
upon
the
Kingdoms
of
all
the
World
;
and
God

Blessedness

Again
,
True
Peace
and

in

Government
can
never
be
,
except
the
Lord
alone
be
owned
as
Judge
and
Law-giver
,
and
his
righteous
Laws
to
be
executed
in
the
Earth
;
that
Justice
and
true
Judgement
may
flow
down
,
and
all
the
contrary
may
be
stopped
and
limtted
by
the
just
Laws
of
God
;
and
all
unjust
and
unequal
Laws
(
made
and
established
in
the
Ignoranc●
of
Men
)
which
have
not
been
justly
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
nor
depended
thereupon
;
such
Laws
must
also
be
made
void
,
judged
and
cast
out
,
and
the
Law
of
God
must
enter
:
This
must
be
accomplished
,
if
ever
true
settlement
in
a
pappy
Peace
be
amongst
us
;
the
Laws
must
be
changed
,
the
unjust
and
unequal
cast
out
,
and
just
and
equal
Laws
brought
in
;
for
because
hereof
,
while
unjust
and
unequal
Laws
have
been
executed
in
Judgement
,
therefore
have
we
wanted
settlement
and
peace
in
a
happy
Government
,
and
the
cortrary
hath
been
,
and
will
continue
,
till
all
unjust
,
unequal
and
oppressive
Laws
be
discontinued
.
Again
,
If
ever
true
peace
and
settlement
in
a
happy
Government
be
amongst
men
,
Governours
Rulers
and
Executioners
of
the
Law

Persons

,
Men
that
fear

Covetousness

that
depart
from
every
evil

and
all
ambitious

self-seeking

cast
out
,
even
all
they
that
have
sought
themselves
,
and
not
the
Lord
,
in
their
places
of
Trust
;
such
as
have
perverted
Justice
and
true
Judgement
for
their
own
corrupted
Ends
,
and
such
as
have
been
cruel
and
hard-hearted
Oppressors
;
all
such
as
these
must
be
cast
out
,
and
the
Law
must
not
be
committed
to
such
to
execute
,
neither
must
such
sit
in
judgement
over
the
People
;
for
because
hereof
,
and
while
such
men
have
ruled
and
governed
,
and
executed
the
Laws
,
no
true
settlement
in
a
just
Government
,
but
the
contrary
hath
been
,
even
Destractions
an●
Tribulations
;
and
while
such
men
do
continue
to
rule
and
judge
,
and
execute
the
Laws
in
any
part
of
the
World
,
we
shall
never
have
a
happy
Government
nor
settlement
in
it
in
this
World
;
nor
till
just
men
,
that
have
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
sound
judgement
,
that
are
humble
and
meek
,
patient
and
merciful
,
and
such
as
fear
the
Lord
,
and
walk
in
his
Wayes
,
be
called
to
rule
and
judge
,
and
execute
the
Laws
:
and
the
Laws
must
be
just
and
holy
,
and
the
Executioners
of
them
equal
and
upright
men
.
Till
these
things
be
accomplished
,
a
happy
settlement
in
this
Worlds
Kingdoms
can
never
be
,
but
God
will
dash
one
Mountain
against
another
,
and
throw
one
Hill
upon
another
,
and
he
will
give
no
Peace
among
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
but
stain
the
glory
of
all
the
Worlds
Governments
,
till
Truth
and
Righteousness
come
to
reign
,
and
till
just
Laws
be
executed
by
just
Men
,
and
till
M●rcy
and
Justice
,
Truth
and
Equity
flow
forth
abundantly
.
Therefore
all
Nations
,
you
have
been
deceived
while
you
have
turned
up
and
down
,
from
one
way
and
manner
and
kind
of
Government
to
another
,
and
from
one
sort
of
Governmten
to
others
:
sometimes
you
have
been
for
a
Parliament
;
sometime
for
a
Protector
;
and
sometime
for
neither
;
from
each
of
these
to
others
you
have
changed
,
thinking
to
have
peace
and
settlement
in
a
happy
Government
,
but
it
could
not
be
;
for
there
are
continu●l
Distractions
untill
this
day
in
the
minds
of
M●n
,
and
they
are
yet
unsettled
in
their
spirits
;
and
there
are
Heart-burnings
,
and
●nvyings
,
and
seeking
of
Revenge
;
and
while
these
things
are
,
nothing
but
Distractions
and
Tribul●tions
;
not
Peace
,
but
Troubles
,
even
till
these
things
be
removed
:
And
till
●e
have
just
and
equal
Laws
,
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
established
over
〈◊〉
,
and
just
,
and
holy
,
and
Righteous
Men
to
execute
them
in
Judgement
●pon
us
;
and
till
we
have
Truth
and
Righteousness
sit
on
the
Throne
,
until
this
be
,
no
true
Settlement
in
a
happy
Government
;
but
Distractions
and
Contentions
,
and
woful
Tribulations
in
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
and
amongst
men
▪
and
this
is
certain
,
and
according
unto
the
Will
of
the
Lo●d
:
and
in
the
justness
of
his
Judgement
these
things
come
to
pass
;
for
it
is
Injustice
and
Oppressions
,
and
want
of
Mercy
and
Truth
,
which
is
the
Foundation
of
Contentions
and
Distractions
;
and
it
is
Justice
and
Equity
,
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
that
is
the
only
Foundation
of
Peace
and
Settlement
,
and
a
happy
Government
for
a
Perpetual
continuance
.
To
all
False
Christians
.
THere
are
many
false
wayes
in
the
World
,
and
many
false
kinds
of
Religions
,
and
People
are
in
much
disagreement
about
their
Church
,
Worship
and
Ministry
;
Papists
are
opposing
the
Protestants
,
and
the
Protestants
the
●●pists
;
and
there
is
a
great
contention
in
the
World
.
But
the
Papists
are
in
a
wrong
way
,
and
so
are
the
Protestants
too
;
and
their
Religions
are
both
false
in
many
things
;
for
whilst
they
profess
Christ
and
Christianity
,
and
make
a
shew
of
Righteousness
in
outward
appearance
,
yet
many
of
them
live
in
sinful
wayes
,
and
bring
forth
the
fruits
of
Iniquity
against
the
living
God
;
and
Pride
,
Cheating
,
and
Double-dealing
,
Covetousness
and
Envy
,
Drunkenness
and
Whoredom
,
and
all
Wickedness
is
abounding
and
brought
forth
,
both
by
the
Apostate
Christians
,
though
they
cry
up
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
the
Profession
of
Godliness
,
yet
are
they
wicked
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
they
are
not
changed
in
heart
and
mind
,
nor
do
they
know
the
New
Birth
;
and
●ll
such
are
out
of
the
right
way
,
in
the
way
of
Error
,
if
they
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
want
the
Power
;
though
they
may
have
Mass
,
or
say
Common-prayer
once
a
week
,
o●
oftner
,
yet
all
this
is
but
Abomination
and
Deceit
,
whilst
they
practise
Iniquity
,
Hatred
,
Back-biting
,
Lying
,
Drunkenness
,
and
the
like
;
they
that
act
these
things
,
the
Plagues
of
God
will
be
their
portion
,
and
Misery
their
end
,
and
their
Profession
in
Religion
will
not
save
them
.
The
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
,
ye
Hypocrites
,
ye
false
Christians
,
ye
●●at
profess
God
with
your
Lips
,
and
your
Hearts
are
far
away
:
Therefore
repent
ye
,
and
tre●ble
before
the
Lord
,
lest
h●
smite
you
with
Vengeance
:
and
forsake
your
false
Religions
,
both
your
Mass
,
and
your
I●…s
of
Prayer
;
and
be
not
Idolaters
,
in
professing
love
in
your
mouthes
,
and
honour
with
your
Lips
,
w●ilst
your
hearts
are
departed
from
the
living
〈◊〉
;
and
now
come
to
learn
the
true
Religion
:
Depart
from
all
Iniquity
,
and
do
not
Lye
,
nor
Swear
,
nor
be
Drunk
,
nor
Steal
,
nor
Murder
,
nor
Envy
;
but
love
the
Lord
with
all
your
hearts
,
and
your
Neighbour
as
your selves
:
And
this
is
the
true
Religion
,
in
which
man
may
be
saved
;
and
live
in
Soberness
,
Meekness
and
●●nestt●y
,
and
speak
every
man
Truth
to
his
Neighbour
,
and
live
in
love
〈◊〉
with
another
,
and
be
kind
,
and
gentle
,
and
bring
forth
the
Fruits
of
the
Spirit
of
God
;
Cease
to
do
evil
,
and
learn
to
do
well
,
and
depart
form
all
●●iquity
,
and
follow
after
Righteousness
:
This
is
true
Religion
,
and
in
it
●ou
may
●e
saved
;
this
is
the
right
way
,
all
that
walk
in
it
shall
have
Peace
and
Blessing
from
God
;
and
all
that
walk
contrary
,
Damnation
is
their
portion
.
Therefore
you
Papists
and
Protestants
(
so
called
)
turn
from
your
Hypocrisie
,
and
learn
this
way
,
and
cease
from
your
false
worships
,
that
are
after
the
Forms
and
Traditions
of
men
,
and
not
after
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
learn
to
worship
God
in
the
Spirit
,
that
you
may
be
saved
:
You
have
a
Light
from
Christ
in
your
Consciences
,
which
lets
you
see
what
sins
ye
are
guilty
of
,
and
it
reproves
you
for
your
sin
:
If
you
believe
in
the
Light
,
and
walk
in
it
,
that
is
the
right
way
,
then
you
will
deny
what
is
evil
,
and
follow
what
is
good
in
your
Conversations
;
but
if
you
follow
what
is
evil
,
and
act
contrary
to
the
Light
in
your
Consciences
,
and
repent
not
,
Vengeance
in
flames
of
fire
will
be
you●
portion
.
This
is
the
day
of
your
Visitation
,
the
Army
of
the
Lamb
is
gone
forth
,
and
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
is
drawn
amongst
them
,
that
will
wound
your
Consciences
,
and
God
will
smite
you
with
the
words
of
his
mouth
;
ye
Rocks
,
and
Hills
,
and
Bryars
and
Thorns
,
and
fruitless
Trees
,
the
God
of
Heaven
will
hew
you
to
pieces
,
and
pluck
you
up
,
and
cast
you
into
the
fire
to
be
consumed
.
Repent
,
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
.

Being
an
Answer
to
a
Book
,
dedicated
to
them
,
by
one
George
Pressick
of
Dublin
.
In
which
Book
many
Lyes
and
Calumnies
are
presented
against
the
Innocent
People
of
God
.
And
this
is
for
the
clearing
of
the
Truth
,
that
no
Lye
may
rest
upon
it
;
And
for
the
Satisfaction
of
all
Sober
People
in
Ireland
,
and
elsewhere
.
With
a
Word
of
Good
Advice
to
the
Chief
Governours
there
.
THere
is
Irreconcileable
Ennity
between
the
two
Seeds
,
(
to
wit
)
the
Seed
of
God
and
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
;
and
these
two
are
alwayes
opposite
and
contrary
one
to
the
other
,
in
Nature
,
Fruits
and
Effects
;
and
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
is
alwayes
persecuting
the
Seed
of
God
,
in
every
Age
and
Generation
;
and
they
in
whom
the
seed
of
the
Serpent
is
living
and
ruling
,
are
alwayes
projecting
and
contriving
mischief
and
hatred
against
the
People
and
●●●vants
of
the
Lord
,
in
whom
the
Seed
of
God
liveth
and
reigneth
;
as
it
is
written
,
He
that
is
born
of
the
Flesh
persecutes
him
that
is
born
after
the
Spirit
;
Thus
it
hath
been
in
all
Generations
,
and
thus
it
is
at
this
day
:
Great
is
the
●●●●sition
that
is
made
by
many
in
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
in
Reviling
and
Re●…hing
,
in
Imprisoning
and
Persecuting
,
and
in
all
manner
of
evil
works
〈◊〉
words
against
the
innocent
People
of
God
,
called
Quakers
:
How
have
the
hands
of
ungodly
men
been
lifted
up
to
smite
that
People
by
many
kinds
of
abuses
?
and
how
have
their
Tonges
been
set
on
fire
,
to
reproach
,
and
revile
,
and
slander
in
all
kind
of
evil-speaking
?
and
all
this
for
Righteousness-sake
,
and
not
for
any
evil
doing
:
For
who
is
the
man
,
and
where
is
he
,
that
can
justly
charge
Evil
upon
that
People
,
either
in
Doctrine
,
Faith
,
or
Practice
?
or
in
any
●●ing
relating
to
their
Religion
to
God-wards
,
or
in
relation
to
their
Conversations
and
walking
towards
men
?
It
is
true
,
we
have
not
wanted
Accusers
to
every
Authority
,
but
such
and
such
things
have
been
falsly
charged
against
us
,
and
that
to
every
Power
that
hath
been
since
we
were
a
People
,
under
whom
we
have
been
a
suffering
People
,
even
from
all
that
ever
have
sitten
in
the
Throne
,
since
the
Lord
raised
us
up
to
bear
Witness
of
his
glorious
Name
and
Truth
in
the
World
.
Now
the
present
occasion
of
this
my
present
work
,
is
,
Forasmuch
as
we
now
stand
accused
of
great
and
heinous
Crimes
in
the
view
of
this
whole
Kingdom
of
Ireland
;
and
more
particularly
before
you
three
,
in
a
Book
called
,
A
brief
Relation
of
some
remarkable
Passages
of
the
Anabaptists
in
Germany
,
&c.
published
by
one
George
Pressick
of
Dublin
,
and
dedicated
in
a
special
manner
to
you
;
that
his
Work
may
pass
with
the
greater
Credit
,
and
his
Slanders
and
Calumnies
,
be
received
for
undoubted
Truths
:
Now
that
the
Innocency
of
the
Upright
may
be
cleared
,
and
that
no
Lye
may
rest
upon
the
Truth
,
nor
that
you
,
neither
any
others
,
may
receive
Falshoods
for
Verities
,
because
of
our
silence
;
therefore
it
is
that
the
Lord
hath
put
it
into
my
Heart
,
to
defend
the
Cause
of
God
and
his
People
,
by
returning
plain
and
sober
Answer
to
the
principal
part
of
his
Book
,
wherein
we
are
concerned
and
falsly
Charged
;
and
for
the
end
that
the
false
Accuser
may
be
reproved
,
and
his
Calumnies
returned
into
his
own
evil
and
malicious
Heart
,
from
whence
they
came
;
and
that
you
,
and
all
men
,
may
be
truly
informed
,
and
prevented
(
if
possible
)
of
being
seduced
into
the
belief
of
Falshoods
,
lest
that
your
Hearts
and
Hands
should
be
stirred
up
,
to
act
or
do
,
in
your
Authority
against
the
People
whom
God
hath
blessed
;
and
from
the
ground
and
cause
of
Mis-informations
,
and
false
Accusations
,
without
better
Testimony
;
which
would
be
a
way
to
destroy
your selves
,
and
to
bring
the
unjust
Sufferings
of
the
Lord's
People
upon
your
own
Heads
,
which
would
draw
down
the
heavy
Wrath
of
God
upon
you
.
I
cannot
flatter
you
by
feigned
words
of
guile
,
nor
give
you
flattering
Titles
,
but
I
judge
you
are
reasonable
men
,
in
that
degree
as
to
hear
and
consider
our
Defence
,
as
well
as
our
Enemies
Charge
;
and
I
hope
you
are
wise
in
that
degree
,
as
to
judge
between
Truth
and
a
Lye
,
and
to
distinguish
one
from
the
other
;
and
I
suppose
you
are
just
in
that
measure
,
as
to
receive
what
ye
know
to
be
truth
,
and
to
reject
what
you
know
to
be
false
,
being
convinced
in
your
own
Consciences
;
and
as
such
,
I
must
place
my
Plea
before
you
particularly
,
and
make
my
Defence
to
your
judgement
Seat
[
even
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
Consciences
,
I
intend
and
mean
]
and
I
shall
omit
to
say
much
to
the
Accuser
himself
,
as
supposing
him
,
a
man
more
full
of
envious
raging
humour
,
than
of
solid
and
wise
judgement
,
to
receive
either
reproof
or
conviction
;
for
many
such
as
he
I
have
dealt
withall
in
this
case
,
whom
I
have
found
men
so
filled
with
Prejudice
,
that
neither
the
authority
of
sound
reason
,
nor
of
the
Word
of
God
,
could
convince
them
of
their
evil
Proceedings
;
therefore
,
before
you
,
I
shall
state
the
particular
Accusations
,
and
the
Defence
against
them
.
The
way
in
which
our
Adversary
hath
proceeded
in
his
Accusations
is
obscure
,
and
yet
malicious
enough
,
and
also
in
great
ignorance
;
for
he
tells
〈◊〉
in
his
Epistle
,
he
hath
gath●red
up
out
of
several
Authors
,
the
most
remarkable
passages
both
of
the
Doctrine
and
Practice
of
the
Anabaptists
(
so
called
)
i●
Germany
,
〈◊〉
.
years
ago
,
and
then
he
charges
the
same
things
upon
the
Anabaptists
and
Q●…
(
as
he
scornfully
calls
them
)
in
these
dayes
;
and
then
he
applauds
you
th●…
〈◊〉
words
of
high
stile
,
for
being
Instrumental
to
suppress
their
insolent
tyr●●nical
〈◊〉
Authority
,
which
they
exercise
ever
God's
People
in
this
Nation
,
to
●nslave
〈◊〉
(
saith
he
)
to
their
insatiable
lusts
.
These
are
his
own
words
in
his
Epistle
.
Answ.
In
answer
to
all
this
,
divers
things
are
very
considerable
,
which
I
desire
to
lay
before
you
.
1.
Concerning
the
Anabaptists
(
so
called
)
in
Germany
;
and
their
Doctri●…
and
Practices
,
with
the
several
transactions
falling
out
in
that
tim●
:
It
is
not
my
work
now
to
plead
their
Cause
,
nor
yet
can
I
justifie
them
in
their
proceedings
,
if
the
relations
given
of
them
be
true
,
which
are
many
,
and
to
me
seems
not
in
every
thing
credible
;
because
I
find
it
were
their
Enemies
,
who
are
our
Authors
;
who
seldom
give
true
Relations
of
such
whom
they
hate
:
But
be
the
Relations
true
or
false
,
it
is
not
material
in
this
case
in
hand
,
for
my
occasion
is
not
concerning
a
People
so
far
off
,
as
in
Germany
,
and
of
so
long
time
,
as
above
a
hundred
of
years
;
but
I
am
to
clear
the
Innocent
who
are
now
living
,
from
the
present
Accusations
of
an
envious
man
;
though
,
if
it
were
necessary
;
or
would
edifie
,
or
were
a
matter
of
pertinency
,
I
could
say
somewhat
more
concerning
that
Peoples
appearing
in
Germany
,
but
being
a
matter
not
suting
●y
occasion
,
I
do
forbear
it
.
2.
As
for
them
,
called
Anabaptists
of
this
our
Age
and
Country
,
I
shall
not
plead
their
Cause
at
this
time
,
though
I
cannot
believe
that
they
are
of
that
spirit
of
Murder
and
Tyranny
,
&c.
as
is
reputed
by
your
Informer
;
though
their
Judgment
in
every
case
,
neither
about
civil
or
spiritual
things
I
dare
not
justifie
;
nor
may
I
lawfully
clear
all
of
them
from
a
large
measure
of
the
spirit
of
Ambition
and
Covetousness
,
Vain-glory
and
Self-seeking
;
for
which
the
Lord
hath
justly
brought
them
under
a
just
Reproof
,
and
by
this
time
I
believe
some
of
them
may
see
some
Error
in
their
own
way
,
and
more
I
may
not
say
of
them
,
but
that
I
believe
the
present
Accusation
against
them
,
by
your
present
Informer
,
is
more
out
of
bitter
and
perverse
Emnity
,
and
devouring
Malice
,
that
he
bears
towards
them
,
than
out
of
any
other
end
;
and
I
doubt
not
but
they
are
sufficient
to
answer
for
themselves
,
and
to
clear
their
Innocency
in
things
wherei●
they
are
not
guilty
;
and
if
they
are
guilty
,
let
them
fall
in
their
Tryal
:
I
leave
them
to
speak
for
themselves
,
thus
omitting
any
further
Answer
on
their
behalf
.
3.
As
for
us
,
whom
in
scorn
the
Accuser
calls
Quakers
,
and
whom
he
hath
accused
as
guilty
in
all
things
,
with
the
Anabaptists
(
so
called
)
in
Germany
,
and
in
this
Nation
;
I
say
,
there
is
great
difference
both
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
,
in
things
,
Civil
(
so
accounted
)
and
things
Spiritual
between
us
and
them
,
as
is
well
known
;
and
were
they
fully
guilty
of
all
what
is
said
of
them
(
which
I
dare
not
believe
)
yet
how
can
we
be
charged
guilty
of
their
Crimes
,
being
they
and
we
are
different
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
,
as
I
have
said
:
Surely
your
Informer
hath
neither
shewed
good
Conscience
,
nor
yet
pure
Reason
in
his
proceeding
,
who
hath
laid
things
to
our
Charge
which
we
never
knew
,
and
hath
accused
us
guilty
of
that
which
never
entred
into
our
Hearts
to
practise
,
and
hath
(
as
it
were
)
charged
other
mens
Crimes
upon
us
,
being
wholly
innocent
,
as
will
appear
in
the
prosecution
of
this
matter
;
and
I
hope
to
make
it
plain
,
that
he
hath
wronged
us
,
and
abused
you
,
by
dedicating
Falshood
for
your
ap●roof
,
and
sent
Slanders
abroad
,
as
it
were
,
under
your
Name
or
Pa●●●●age
.
4.
As
concerning
the
Charge
it self
,
included
in
these
words
,
saith
your
Informer
;
And
considering
how
Instrumental
your
Honours
have
been
to
suppress
their
●…t
,
Tyrannical
,
Usurped
Authority
,
which
they
exercise
over
God's
People
in
〈◊〉
Nation
,
to
enslave
us
,
&c.
In
these
words
there
are
very
deep
Accusations
,
●…ders
,
and
unjust
Reproaches
vented
against
us
;
and
with
what
Face
(
except
●…ent
)
we
can
be
thus
charged
,
is
almost
wonderful
;
especially
consider●…●●at
we
have
been
our selves
a
suffering
People
by
every
Authority
,
since
〈◊〉
time
the
Lord
raised
us
up
,
and
never
had
any
outward
Authority
in
〈◊〉
Nation
,
but
all
were
cast
out
of
all
Place
and
Power
,
both
Civil
and
Military
,
when
as
they
have
become
one
with
us
in
our
Way
,
and
this
hath
been
the
manner
of
dealing
with
us
by
all
that
ever
have
ruled
;
and
yet
we
are
charged
most
unjustly
with
exercising
Insolent
,
Tyrannical
,
U●…d
Authority
in
this
Nation
,
&c.
for
it
s
said
,
Their
Insolent
,
and
they
exercise
,
to
wit
,
the
Quakers
;
when
as
it
is
manifest
,
as
I
have
shewe●
,
that
we
never
excercised
any
outward
Authority
at
all
,
but
have
been
suffering
People
by
all
Authorities
unto
this
day
:
therefore
I
do
appeal
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
own
Consciences
,
how
great
is
this
Slander
,
and
how
false
this
Accusation
,
and
how
wicked
is
our
Adversary
in
thus
accusing
us
before
you
,
in
the
things
which
you
so
well
know
are
utterly
and
detestably
false
;
and
the
Accuser
and
his
Accusations
are
to
be
condemned
together
.
5.
But
and
if
it
had
been
so
,
or
should
be
so
in
time
to
come
,
that
we
had
any
,
or
all
outward
Authority
in
our
Hands
,
(
I
may
suppose
impossible
things
,
to
manifest
the
truth
of
our
Principle
)
our
Principle
is
not
to
be
insolent
,
tyrannical
,
nor
to
be
Usurpers
over
God's
People
,
to
enslave
;
but
far
the
contrary
,
even
that
Justice
,
Mercy
and
Truth
may
sit
in
the
Throne
,
and
that
Peace
and
freedom
may
be
held
forth
unto
all
;
that
no
Usurpers
nor
Tyrants
,
but
Iust
Men
,
and
men
that
fear
God
and
hate
Covetousness
and
every
evil
Way
,
that
such
alone
may
sit
in
Judgment
whom
God
calleth
to
that
Place
;
who
will
rule
in
Righteousness
and
Justice
,
and
regard
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
and
Needy
;
we
would
that
such
onely
ruled
,
who
were
ruled
by
the
Lord
;
who
would
be
a
Blessing
in
the
World
,
and
to
all
People
;
not
desiring
more
Liberty
to
our selves
,
than
what
we
would
give
unto
all
others
in
all
just
Ways
.
This
is
,
our
Principle
,
as
to
matters
of
outward
Authority
among
men
,
and
not
as
this
false
Accuser
hath
suggested
out
of
his
evil
Heart
.
6.
As
to
the
matter
of
your
suppressing
us
,
which
your
Applauder
saith
,
you
have
been
instrumental
to
do
:
This
is
as
false
as
the
rest
;
for
we
are
no
more
suppressed
than
before
,
you
exercised
your
present
Authority
,
but
are
every
way
in
as
much
liberty
of
Persons
,
and
otherwise
,
as
in
their
dayes
before
yours
;
and
are
no
way
suppressed
,
nor
fearful
of
it
:
So
the
Author
of
such
Lyes
,
hath
but
flattered
you
,
and
fawned
upon
you
,
in
telling
you
,
ye
have
suppressed
us
,
whenas
its
nothing
so
:
but
and
if
it
had
been
in
your
hearts
,
or
be
at
this
day
,
to
suppress
us
,
and
to
hinder
us
of
our
Liberties
,
and
to
persecute
us
,
the
Lord
shall
plead
our
Cause
against
you
,
and
give
no
success
unto
your
Work
;
but
it
shall
be
turned
to
our
Renown
,
and
to
your
Overthrow
,
and
the
secret
hand
of
God
shall
confound
you
,
and
break
your
Purposes
,
and
deliver
his
People
out
of
your
Mouthes
;
Thus
it
shall
come
to
pass
,
ifthat
your
Hand
sshould
be
stretched
forth
to
hurt
us
,
who
are
Gods
Heritage
,
and
the
Sheep
of
his
Fold
.
And
thus
much
in
answer
to
his
Epistle
.
Now
I
come
to
a
second
Accus●tion
of
his
,
stated
in
his
first
page
,
in
these
words
.
We
may
see
from
whence
Anabaptists
,
Quakers
,
Ranters
,
and
Levellers
,
all
had
their
Original
,
namely
,
from
the
Papists
,
&c.
Answ.
1.
As
for
the
Anabaptists
,
Ranters
,
and
Levellers
,
I
leave
them
to
plead
their
own
Cause
;
and
though
we
are
accused
with
such
,
yet
there
is
much
difference
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
between
us
and
them
;
though
I
believe
,
they
are
all
further
from
Popery
both
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
,
than
is
this
Accuser
of
them
;
but
yet
they
shall
answer
for
themselves
;
and
I
shall
onely
mind
the
matter
I
have
in
hand
,
which
is
,
to
clear
the
People
of
God
,
called
Quakers
,
from
the
Accusations
charged
falsly
against
them
,
whom
I
know
to
be
innocent
,
from
these
false
Accusations
.
2.
That
we
did
arise
from
the
Papists
,
or
,
that
they
are
our
Original
,
in
D●ctrine
,
Faith
,
or
Practice
,
this
is
utterly
false
;
for
between
us
and
them
,
is
perfect
separation
,
and
we
are
of
another
spirit
,
and
divided
from
them
;
as
appears
every
way
,
even
by
their
persecuting
of
us
for
our
Testimony
bearing
against
them
,
and
their
Religion
;
and
they
have
written
against
us
,
and
we
against
them
,
divers
Controversies
;
and
they
have
imprisoned
divers
of
our
Friends
in
their
Dominions
,
for
giving
Testimony
against
their
Wayes
:
by
all
which
it
doth
appear
,
that
we
are
not
of
the
Papists
line
,
nor
arisen
from
them
;
for
if
we
were
of
Them
,
they
would
love
Us
,
and
not
persecute
Us
;
and
that
herein
we
are
falsly
accused
,
as
in
other
Things
:
And
this
is
an
old
out-dated
Accusation
,
and
is
of
no
Account
;
for
now
we
are
otherwise
known
through
these
Kingdoms
,
and
we
are
manifest
to
the
Consciences
of
men
in
the
sight
of
God
,
to
be
such
as
fear
the
Lord
,
and
walk
in
his
ways
.
3.
And
as
for
our
Original
,
It
is
the
Lord
God
alone
that
hath
raised
us
up
,
and
planted
us
a
People
,
that
were
not
a
People
in
times
past
;
and
not
from
the
Apostate
Christians
,
neither
of
Papists
nor
Protestants
(
so
called
)
are
we
sprung
;
but
are
of
the
Apostles
Line
,
and
of
the
Stock
and
Race
of
the
true
Christians
,
that
believe
in
Christ
,
and
follow
him
:
and
in
every
part
of
our
Religion
,
both
in
Faith
and
Practice
,
and
in
Conversation
,
we
are
agreeing
with
the
holy
Apostles
,
being
witnessed
unto
by
the
Scriptures
in
all
that
we
profess
and
Practice
;
and
the
Lord
hath
raised
us
up
out
of
the
Apostacy
,
into
which
all
Christendom
hath
been
fallen
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
whilest
Antichrist
hath
reigned
over
the
World
;
and
we
are
as
the
first
Fruits
unto
God
and
to
the
Lamb
,
since
the
f●lling
away
from
the
true
Faith
;
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
is
our
Original
,
and
Christ
Jesus
it
our
Foundation
,
on
whom
we
are
builded
,
and
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
us
:
and
this
Testinony
the
Spirit
of
God
giveth
for
us
,
and
in
us
,
in
contradiction
of
the
false
Accusations
of
all
our
Enemies
.
4.
And
if
it
be
an
offence
to
be
risen
from
the
Papists
,
and
if
all
that
be
evil
which
they
are
the
Original
of
;
then
the
Protestants
(
so
called
)
are
in
the
Offence
,
and
their
Ministry
,
and
the
chief
part
of
their
Church-Government
,
Worship
and
Ordinances
are
evil
;
for
did
not
the
Protestants
spring
from
the
Papists
?
and
did
not
the
Papists
institute
the
Way
by
which
the
Protestants
Ministers
at
Schools
and
Colledges
?
And
was
it
not
they
that
first
Instiuted
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
calling
it
Baptism
into
the
Faith
,
and
into
the
Church
?
And
was
it
not
the
Papists
that
first
taught
the
Protestants
to
keep
holy
dayes
,
as
Christmass
and
Candlemass
,
so
called
?
and
many
other
particular
things
relating
to
the
Protestant
Church
,
Ministry
and
Worship
,
were
originally
ordained
and
first
practiced
by
the
Church
of
Rome
and
Papists
:
and
so
while
this
false
Accuser
is
charging
others
,
himself
and
the
men
of
his
Way
,
are
found
guilty
of
the
same
things
;
and
the
Papists
may
justly
say
to
the
Protestants
,
that
they
are
false
:
hearted
to
them
,
in
denying
of
them
and
their
Church
,
when
as
their
Fathers
were
the
Instituters
of
the
principal
parts
of
the
Protestants
Worship
and
Ordinances
;
and
so
they
,
like
unnatural
Children
,
have
denyed
their
Mother
that
bred
them
up
,
and
ordained
them
a
way
of
making
Ministers
,
and
maintaining
them
,
and
many
other
parts
of
their
Religion
:
But
because
she
hath
not
been
the
National
Interest
for
these
many
years
,
therefore
the
Church
of
the
Protestants
have
denyed
the
Church
of
Rome
,
though
originally
they
rose
out
from
them
.
The
next
thing
in
his
Book
I
take
notice
of
,
is
,
where
he
seemeth
to
charge
us
,
with
boasting
that
we
talk
with
God
,
and
God
with
us
,
and
have
Revelations
,
and
as
if
God
commanded
them
to
kill
all
the
Wicked
,
and
to
make
a
new
World
:
a
Sect
in
Saxony
(
saith
the
Accuser
)
arose
that
held
this
;
and
the
Quakers
now
are
like
them
:
which
is
as
much
as
charging
all
this
upon
us
.
Answ.
1
That
we
do
boast
of
talking
with
God
,
or
of
Revelation
.
This
is
another
of
his
false
Accusations
;
for
we
boast
not
,
nor
do
we
glory
in
any
thing
,
saving
in
the
Lord
,
and
this
is
no
Error
,
but
that
which
we
must
acknowledge
unto
,
or
else
deny
the
Truth
,
to
talk
with
God
,
and
God
with
us
,
in
and
by
his
own
Spirit
;
for
all
the
Saints
have
converss
with
God
,
and
union
and
fellowship
with
him
in
his
own
Spirit
,
as
the
Scriptures
do
declare
:
and
as
for
Revelations
,
we
do
acknowledge
according
to
Christ's
Words
,
that
we
had
never
known
the
Father
,
nor
the
Son
,
but
by
Revelation
;
For
none
known
the
Father
but
the
Son
,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
reveals
him
,
as
it
is
written
:
and
all
such
as
have
not
converss
with
God
,
and
that
have
not
Revelation
,
are
not
in
the
Way
of
Eternal
life
,
but
are
ignorant
and
without
God
in
the
World
,
and
neither
know
him
,
nor
have
fellowship
with
him
.
2.
As
for
killing
all
the
Wicked
this
is
another
false
Charge
;
for
it
is
not
our
Principle
to
war
against
the
Persons
of
any
Men
,
and
kill
them
with
carnal
Weapons
,
about
Church
and
Ministry
,
and
Religion
,
as
the
Papists
and
Protestants
do
one
against
another
;
but
it
is
our
Principle
to
war
against
the
evil
spirit
in
men
,
and
to
smite
that
with
the
spiritual
Sword
of
God's
Word
;
and
we
would
have
mens
wickedness
killed
,
and
their
Persons
saved
,
and
their
Souls
delivered
;
and
this
is
the
War
we
make
,
even
till
men
be
changed
by
the
Power
of
God
,
and
all
things
made
new
;
even
a
new
World
,
and
a
new
Earth
we
do
expect
,
according
to
the
Lord's
Promise
,
so
that
it
is
no
error
to
expect
a
new
Earth
,
and
a
new
World
;
for
there
is
a
new
Creation
which
the
Saints
do
witness
,
created
anew
in
Christ
Jesus
,
to
bring
forth
good
fruits
unto
the
living
God
:
and
all
that
do
not
witness
this
,
are
in
the
transgression
of
the
old
Creation
,
which
brings
the
Wrath
of
God
.
Again
,
The
Accuser
tells
a
story
of
one
,
that
professed
the
Gift
of
discerning
spirits
,
and
to
know
the
Elect
from
Reprobates
,
and
that
made
holiness
consist
in
speaking
little
,
and
living
homely
and
sordidly
▪
as
our
Quakers
do
,
saith
he
.
Answ.
1.
As
for
discerning
of
Spirits
,
that
is
a
Gift
which
the
Saints
of
God
do
receive
in
all
Ages
;
for
the
Apostles
said
,
to
some
was
given
the
discerning
of
spirits
,
by
the
manifestation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
:
So
to
profess
discerning
of
spirits
,
is
no
error
in
us
,
though
it
be
stated
as
a
great
error
before
you
,
by
an
ignorant
man
,
who
knows
not
what
he
saith
,
nor
whereof
he
affirms
:
And
its
possible
to
know
the
Elect
from
Reprobates
by
their
fruits
and
works
;
for
the
Children
of
God
(
who
are
the
Elect
)
are
known
by
their
holy
and
Righteous
works
and
fruits
;
and
the
Children
of
the
Devil
(
who
are
the
Reprobates
)
are
known
also
by
their
works
and
fruits
of
unrighteousness
,
which
they
bring
forth
;
and
this
the
Scriptures
bear
witness
of
.
2.
As
for
speaking
little
,
and
living
homely
and
sordidly
:
If
he
means
,
by
homely
and
sordidly
,
plainly
and
without
superfluity
;
this
is
also
works
and
fruits
of
holiness
;
and
its
better
to
speak
little
,
than
to
utter
multitude
of
vain
words
;
and
its
more
justifiable
to
God
and
just
Men
,
to
be
plain
and
homely
(
as
he
saith
)
in
Apparrel
,
than
superfluity
of
naughtiness
in
vain
Attire
,
and
more
holy
;
for
true
holiness
consists
in
the
Power
of
God
,
which
crucifies
all
idle
words
,
and
all
superfluity
in
Apparrel
,
and
whatsoever
is
not
like
God
:
And
was
but
this
Accuser
as
wise
as
he
is
envious
,
he
would
never
be
seen
to
scorn
the
Quakers
(
scornfully
so
called
)
with
speaking
little
,
and
wearing
plain
and
sober
Apparrel
;
but
Fools
love
to
be
medling
to
manifest
their
own
folly
,
as
it
is
written
.
Again
,
The
Accuser
telleth
another
Story
of
Muntzer
,
how
he
did
exhort
some
that
were
on
his
part
,
(
viz.
Anabaptists
)
to
kill
every
Mothers
Son
,
for
a
Sacrifice
to
the
Lord
;
and
saith
he
,
by
this
we
may
g●ess
,
if
Anabaptists
and
Quakers
should
get
the
upper
hand
,
what
they
would
do
,
&c.
Answ.
1.
As
for
the
Quakers
getting
the
upper
hand
,
we
strive
not
for
it
by
carnal
Weapons
,
to
have
victory
over
mens
Persons
,
though
we
know
the
Lord
will
give
us
victory
and
dominion
over
the
Beast
,
and
over
the
false
Prophets
;
for
the
Lamb
shall
get
the
victory
,
and
they
that
are
with
him
,
who
are
called
,
and
faithful
,
and
chosen
;
but
this
victory
is
spiritual
,
and
obtained
spiritually
;
and
thus
we
believe
the
Lord
will
give
us
the
upper
hand
,
even
victory
over
●ll
our
Enemies
.
2.
But
what
a
wicked
envious
si●rmise
and
suggestion
is
here
coutched
under
,
as
if
the
Quakers
,
if
they
had
victory
,
would
kill
every
Mothers
Son
for
a
Sacrifice
,
and
that
,
they
would
make
War
,
&c.
The
Lord
rebuke
his
slanderous
Tongue
,
who
hatched
Mischief
in
his
mind
against
the
Innocent
,
and
presented
you
with
forged
Lyes
and
Surmises
,
and
imagined
&
guessed
cruel
and
evil
things
against
us
,
who
are
far
otherwise
Principled
than
as
he
suggesseth
:
but
all
this
his
own
doings
,
doth
but
manifest
the
folly
of
his
own
Heart
,
and
〈◊〉
own
wickedness
;
for
we
are
of
the
Spirit
of
Mercy
and
Peace
,
and
not
of
Murder
and
War
;
not
to
kill
mens
Persons
,
but
to
war
with
the
Spirit
of
God
against
spiritual
Enemies
;
that
mens
Iniquities
may
be
slain
,
and
their
Persons
and
Souls
saved
.
Again
,
The
Accuser
,
pag.
4.
tells
a
long
story
of
Micher
Hopman
,
and
others
with
him
,
what
things
they
held
,
As
they
condemned
the
Baptism
of
Children
:
they
would
not
take
an
Oath
:
they
pulled
down
Magistrates
:
they
undertook
to
kill
all
Princes
:
they
taught
,
that
in
their
Churches
all
were
holy
;
and
that
it
was
lawful
to
have
many
Wives
:
that
all
Learning
is
prophane
,
and
that
mean
men
are
fittest
to
expound
S●riptures
;
and
there
must
be
no
ordinary
calling
in
the
Church
,
but
every
man
must
speak
as
he
is
inspired
:
And
thus
it
is
(
saith
the
Accuser
)
with
the
Quakers
and
Popish
Agents
,
who
are
their
Ring-leaders
,
have
been
endeavouring
in
these
three
Nations
these
eight
or
nine
years
by-past
,
&c.
Answ.
1.
It
is
to
be
considered
,
that
all
these
things
are
fully
charged
upon
us
,
as
being
guilty
thereof
,
and
so
to
every
particular
I
shall
answer
.
As
to
that
of
the
Baptism
of
Children
,
we
do
say
,
there
is
neither
Command
nor
Example
for
it
in
all
the
Scripture
,
God
never
commanded
it
,
nor
did
the
Apostle
ever
practise
it
in
their
dayes
,
but
it
is
a
Tradition
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
introduced
into
the
World
long
since
the
Apostles
dayes
;
and
except
better
ground
can
be
shewed
for
the
Practice
of
it
,
than
bare
Tradition
,
it
is
lawful
to
deny
it
,
as
being
no
Ordinance
of
God
in
his
true
Church
;
except
(
I
say
)
that
it
can
be
proved
that
God
ever
commanded
it
,
or
the
Apostles
and
Saints
practised
it
;
till
which
be
done
,
it
is
no
error
to
deny
the
sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
to
deny
it
to
be
the
true
Baptism
into
the
true
Church
.
2.
Concerning
taking
an
Oath
,
we
say
,
Christ
Jesus
commanded
,
Mat.
5.
Not
to
Swear
to
all
;
and
the
Apostles
Iames
said
,
Above
all
things
;
my
Brethren
,
Swear
not
:
so
that
to
deny
to
Swear
and
take
Oathes
,
is
according
to
the
Command
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
is
no
error
,
though
the
Accuser
hath
here
charged
it
on
us
as
a
heinous
crime
;
but
we
do
deny
all
swearing
,
in
obedience
to
the
Commands
of
Christ
,
and
our
Yea
is
Yea
,
and
our
Nay
is
Nay
,
as
Christ
hath
taught
us
,
without
an
Oath
;
who
hath
commanded
us
not
to
take
Oaths
,
nor
Swear
at
all
.
3.
As
for
pulling
down
Magistrates
,
and
killing
all
Princes
,
and
that
it
is
lawful
to
have
many
Wives
:
These
are
Lyes
and
Slanders
charged
upon
us
by
a
false
Accuser
;
for
our
Principle
is
,
to
obey
all
Magistrates
,
and
all
Princes
,
in
every
thing
,
either
by
doing
or
suffering
;
and
we
would
have
Princes
and
Magistrates
to
rule
and
reign
in
the
Power
of
God
,
justly
,
righteously
,
and
according
to
the
Law
of
God
;
and
would
not
have
them
killed
and
pulled
down
:
And
we
say
,
it
's
better
to
keep
in
the
single
chaste
life
,
than
to
have
many
Wives
:
but
any
Accusation
to
make
us
appear
vile
,
this
your
Informer
spareth
not
;
but
according
to
his
Work
will
be
his
Reward
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
.
4.
Concerning
all
being
holy
in
the
Church
:
we
say
,
That
every
Member
in
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
is
holy
:
for
the
Church
of
Christ
is
his
Body
,
and
every
Member
of
his
Body
,
which
are
Flesh
of
his
Flesh
,
and
Bones
of
his
Bones
,
are
holy
,
as
he
is
holy
,
in
kind
and
quality
;
and
it
is
his
Exhortation
to
his
Saints
,
Be
ye
holy
,
for
I
am
holy
,
saith
Christ
:
So
that
to
hold
that
every
member
of
the
Body
of
Christ
is
holy
,
is
no
error
,
though
it
be
so
reputed
by
an
ignorant
man
.
5.
Concerning
all
Learning
being
prophane
,
and
that
mean
men
are
fittest
to
expound
Scriptures
:
I
do
say
,
that
Learning
in
it self
is
a
gift
of
God
,
and
is
not
prophane
;
though
as
to
the
knowledge
of
God
,
and
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
,
learning
in
Tongues
and
Languages
,
is
little
available
;
for
it
's
the
Spirit
of
God
that
teaches
the
things
of
God
,
and
reveals
all
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
;
and
none
can
know
God
,
but
as
the
Spirit
of
God
discovers
him
;
for
the
Disciples
,
who
were
some
of
them
unlearned
men
in
Books
and
letters
,
had
the
knowledge
of
the
matters
of
God's
Kingdom
taught
them
by
the
holy
Spirit
:
and
such
as
have
the
gift
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
be
they
poor
or
rich
,
are
fitted
to
expound
and
understand
Scriptures
;
for
none
can
understand
the
Scriptures
,
nor
the
things
therein
declared
,
but
by
the
Spirit
of
God
that
gav●
forth
the
Scriptures
;
and
it
is
not
Latine
,
Greek
or
Hebrew
that
teacheth
to
understand
the
Scriptures
,
but
it
is
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
to
whomsoever
that
Spirit
is
given
(
and
God
gives
it
to
whom
he
pleaseth
)
they
only
are
fit
to
declare
the
things
of
God
unto
others
,
and
to
expound
Scriptures
,
and
none
else
but
them
who
have
experience
of
the
operation
of
the
Spirit
in
their
own
hearts
:
and
this
we
hold
and
believe
.
6.
Concerning
ordinary
Calling
,
and
speaking
as
he
is
inspired
:
I
say
the
Scriptures
no
where
speak
of
ordinary
calling
;
and
if
by
ordinary
calling
it
be
meant
,
calling
to
any
Office
in
the
Church
,
without
the
Spirit
of
God
;
I
say
,
there
was
no
such
Calling
;
for
the
Ministry
of
Christ
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
was
called
by
the
holy
Spirit
,
and
the
Ministry
of
the
true
Church
,
is
made
,
ordained
and
called
according
to
the
Gift
of
God's
holy
Spirit
,
which
he
giveth
;
And
as
every
one
(
saith
Peter
)
hath
received
the
Gift
of
the
Spirit
,
so
let
him
administer
the
same
one
to
another
.
So
that
it
is
manifest
by
the
Scriptures
,
that
the
Call
to
the
Ministry
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
was
not
of
man
,
nor
by
man
,
saith
Paul
,
but
according
to
the
gift
of
the
holy
Anointing
,
the
Spirit
of
God
:
and
also
every
one
in
the
true
Church
might
speak
,
as
it
was
revealed
to
them
,
for
saith
Paul
,
If
any
thing
be
revealed
to
another
that
stands
by
,
let
the
first
hold
his
peace
;
for
●e
may
all
speak
one
by
one
,
that
all
may
be
edified
:
So
that
it
is
no
Error
to
hold
,
that
every
one
in
the
true
Church
may
speak
as
the
Spirit
of
God
gives
them
utterance
,
and
to
whom
the
things
of
God
are
revealed
by
the
Spirit
.
7.
That
there
are
Popish
Agents
among
us
,
and
that
such
are
our
Ring-leaders
;
this
is
a
false
slander
,
and
you
ought
to
put
the
Accuser
to
prove
it
,
it
is
your
duty
so
to
do
;
and
that
such
Popish
Agents
be
named
,
and
where
they
are
:
And
I
challenge
the
Accuser
to
name
one
among
〈◊〉
,
or
else
let
him
stop
his
Mouth
for
a
Lyar
;
who
hath
abused
your
Names
,
with
dedicating
Untruths
to
you
for
your
approof
.
Again
,
He
accuseth
us
for
saying
,
The
Spirit
bloweth
where
it
listeth
,
and
he
saith
,
we
judge
none
have
the
Spirit
but
our selves
.
Answ.
1
Christ
himself
said
,
The
Wind
bloweth
where
it
listeth
,
and
so
i●
every
one
that
is
born
of
the
Spirit
:
And
we
do
judge
God
hath
given
of
his
Spirit
to
many
that
are
yet
Ungodly
,
and
many
are
convinced
of
sin
by
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
Consciences
,
that
are
wicked
and
ungodly
,
who
are
not
of
Us
:
but
yet
we
say
,
as
the
Saints
in
Ages
past
said
,
We
know
that
we
are
of
God
,
and
that
the
whole
World
lies
in
Wickedness
;
and
they
that
are
of
God
,
hear
us
,
and
are
one
with
us
,
and
we
do
inform
all
People
to
the
measure
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
Consciences
,
that
they
may
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
to
be
one
with
us
.
Again
,
He
accuseth
us
to
be
acted
by
the
same
deluding
spirit
as
John
of
Leyden
was
acted
by
.
Answ.
1.
What
spirit
Iohn
of
Leyden
was
acted
by
,
we
now
dispute
not
,
neither
doth
this
Accuser
well
know
,
but
what
he
hath
from
the
reports
of
others
,
which
may
be
false
as
like
as
true
in
fome
particulars
;
but
the
Spirit
that
we
follow
is
the
Spirit
of
God
,
by
which
we
are
acted
in
the
wayes
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
are
not
deluded
,
nor
Followers
of
a
deluding
spirit
;
for
we
are
willing
to
be
tried
in
our
Doctrines
and
Practices
according
to
the
Scriptures
:
and
though
we
stand
accused
of
these
,
and
the
like
things
,
yet
we
challenge
him
to
prove
it
before
you
,
and
that
we
may
be
admitted
to
make
our
defence
;
and
we
shall
the
rather
easily
prove
that
our
Accuser
is
acted
by
the
spirit
of
the
Devil
,
who
is
an
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
like
the
Devil
;
and
that
is
a
deluding
spirit
that
teacheth
men
to
backbit●
,
ly●
and
slander
,
as
this
man
hath
done
;
so
he
is
proved
fully
guilty
of
that
whereof
he
hath
accused
others
,
and
must
own
the
shame
and
condemnation
to
himself
,
which
he
would
bring
upon
others
.
Again
,
The
Accuser
chargeth
us
,
That
we
would
neither
have
King
,
Magistrate
,
〈◊〉
Ministers
,
but
of
our selves
,
&c.
Answ.
1.
I
have
before
mentioned
what
kind
of
Rulers
and
Government
we
would
have
,
even
such
as
are
just
men
,
and
men
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
and
that
hate
Covetousness
and
every
evil
Way
;
and
such
are
of
us
,
even
such
we
would
have
to
reign
as
are
approved
of
God
,
who
would
be
a
praise
to
them
that
do
well
,
and
a
terrour
to
Evil-doers
;
and
that
would
only
rule
and
reign
for
the
Lord
,
exercising
and
executing
his
Righteous
Laws
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
such
will
be
blessed
in
their
Authority
.
2.
And
till
such
only
rule
and
bear
the
Sword
of
Justice
in
the
Earth
,
we
do
know
Peace
and
Happiness
can
never
be
in
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
but
divisions
and
confusions
will
arise
and
be
brought
forth
;
for
it
is
the
only
blessedness
of
a
Government
in
any
Nation
,
when
the
Authority
it self
is
just
●ad
according
to
God
;
and
when
such
as
bear
the
execution
thereof
are
just
Kings
,
Righteous
Magistrates
,
and
Ministers
of
Justice
,
that
will
judge
for
God
and
not
for
man
,
and
we
seek
not
the
Place
of
Government
in
this
World
,
nor
do
we
intrude
our selves
into
such
Places
;
though
this
we
say
,
while
that
spirit
reigns
and
rule
in
the
Nations
of
the
Earth
,
which
is
not
of
God
,
but
contrary
to
us
,
Peace
and
Happiness
in
good
Government
amongst
men
through
the
World
can
never
be
;
though
we
are
truly
subject
to
whatsoever
Authority
is
set
over
us
,
by
doing
or
suffering
.
Then
the
Accuser
speaks
of
teaching
the
Wayes
of
Righteousness
,
and
saith
,
according
to
this
,
the
Quakers
have
gone
through
Ireland
,
and
he
speaks
of
God's
Wrath
following
for
hardness
of
Heart
,
and
this
(
saith
he
)
is
just
like
the
Quakers
Doctrines
now
.
Answ.
That
the
Quakers
(
scornfully
so
called
)
have
gone
through
Ireland
,
and
through
many
other
Nations
of
the
Word
,
to
teach
and
preach
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
this
is
true
,
and
without
occasion
of
an
evil
Charge
against
them
for
so
doing
;
and
the
Lord
hath
prospered
us
,
and
been
with
us
,
to
the
turning
of
many
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
the
Power
of
Satan
unto
God
;
and
we
have
Testimony
in
the
Consciences
of
many
for
the
truth
of
our
Doctrines
and
Practices
;
and
this
is
not
Error
nor
Heresie
,
to
proclaim
the
Wrath
of
God
,
because
of
the
hardness
of
Peoples
Hearts
;
for
that
is
the
Portion
of
all
hard-hearted
men
:
and
we
are
not
ashamed
of
this
Doctrine
,
for
it
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
;
and
but
that
this
Accuser
is
given
up
to
blindness
of
mind
,
he
would
never
have
mentioned
these
things
against
us
,
nor
used
our
Names
in
reproach
in
this
matter
.
And
lastly
whereas
he
saith
,
some
of
the
Quakers
say
,
they
are
Jews
,
and
are
not
,
but
are
of
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
:
and
thou
chargest
Iames
Naylor
with
●●ying
,
that
he
was
Christ
:
and
that
one
should
say
,
George
Fox
was
Iohn
Baptist
,
and
such
false
Prophets
and
Prophesies
we
have
heard
too
much
of
,
&c.
Answ.
1
That
they
say
,
they
are
Iews
,
and
are
not
,
are
such
as
have
a
Name
to
live
,
but
are
dead
,
who
say
and
do
not
;
but
we
are
not
such
;
so
this
his
Charge
is
false
and
wicked
,
and
of
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
he
doth
manifest
himself
to
be
,
by
his
accusing
of
the
Brethren
:
And
as
for
I●…s
Naylor
he
never
said
he
was
Christ
,
through
this
hath
been
cast
,
as
a
foul
Reproach
,
upon
him
by
others
,
yet
it
never
was
proved
against
him
lawfully
,
no●
any
thing
tending
thereunto
,
saving
that
he
said
Christ
was
in
him
,
as
〈◊〉
i●
in
every
Member
of
his
Body
,
according
to
measure
.
And
as
for
the
story
of
George
Fox
,
there
are
many
such
lying
stories
that
have
gone
abroad
in
these
Nations
,
in
opposition
to
the
Truth
of
God
made
manifest
;
but
over
all
these
things
Truth
●ath
gotten
the
victory
,
and
the
Lord's
Work
must
prosper
in
the
Earth
;
and
all
Ly●rs
must
be
confounded
,
and
have
their
Portion
in
the
Lake
:
And
this
i●
our
Portion
from
the
World
,
as
Christ
said
.
They
shall
speak
all
manner
of
evil
against
you
falsly
for
my
Name
sake
;
but
great
shall
be
your
Reward
in
Heaven
:
And
this
is
for
a
Testimony
against
them
,
that
our
Enemies
are
of
the
Devil
,
and
for
a
Testimony
to
us
,
that
we
are
of
God
.
And
thus
I
have
returned
our
Defence
before
you
,
against
his
several
Lyes
and
Slanders
,
and
it
s
left
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
Consciences
to
be
Judge
in
this
Case
,
between
us
and
him
;
and
if
you
be
cloathed
with
the
Spirit
of
moderation
and
meekness
,
and
will
judge
according
to
Equity
,
I
doubt
not
but
the
Cause
is
clear
against
our
Adversary
,
who
wrongfully
,
and
to
a
wicked
and
evil
intent
hath
hatched
Mischief
against
us
,
and
brought
it
forth
before
you
;
and
we
desire
nothing
of
Revenge
towards
him
for
his
evil
work
,
but
do
leave
him
to
be
rewarded
of
the
Lord
,
who
will
justly
give
him
and
all
men
according
to
their
Deeds
.
And
now
I
have
a
few
Considerations
to
present
unto
you
three
in
particular
,
as
such
in
that
capacity
who
bear
rule
in
this
Land
.
1.
Consider
how
that
you
are
set
in
Place
and
Authority
,
and
ought
to
judge
and
govern
for
God
alone
,
and
to
be
a
Terror
to
all
Evil-doers
,
and
a
Praise
to
all
that
do
well
;
and
the
living
God
requireth
of
you
,
To
do
Iustice
,
Truth
and
Righteousness
in
the
Land
,
to
hear
the
cry
of
the
Widow
and
Fatherless
,
and
to
judge
uprightly
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
,
without
respect
to
your
own
self-ends
;
and
ye
ought
to
be
meek
and
humble
men
in
your
Places
of
Care
and
Trust
which
i●
committed
unto
you
;
and
take
heed
that
your
hearts
be
not
lifted
up
in
the
honour
of
high
Places
,
and
so
Iudgment
,
Mercy
,
and
Truth
be
neglected
,
and
Oppressions
and
Cruelties
be
brought
forth
.
2.
Consider
,
that
if
ye
do
Iustice
and
Righteousness
,
and
walk
humbly
with
the
Lord
,
and
exercise
Mercy
and
Truth
in
the
Land
,
and
hear
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
,
and
deliver
the
Afflicted
;
then
the
Lord
can
make
you
a
Blessing
to
your selves
and
to
the
People
:
But
if
you
be
proud
and
exalted
,
and
ambitious
and
vain-glorious
,
and
exercise
Cruelty
and
Oppression
,
and
tread
down
the
Poor
,
and
vex
the
Needy
,
and
grieve
the
Lord
God
by
your
Iniquities
;
then
God
will
cast
you
down
,
and
lay
your
honour
in
the
Dust
,
and
make
you
a
Curse
and
a
Reproach
,
and
your
Names
and
Memorial
shall
be
a
stink
,
and
the
justice
of
the
Lord's
Hand
shall
effect
it
.
3.
Consider
that
ye
are
Men
,
and
not
God
,
and
your
strength
flesh
,
and
not
spirit
;
and
there
is
a
God
greater
than
all
,
who
is
above
all
,
who
can
suddenly
in
a
moment
save
his
People
,
and
destroy
his
Enemies
;
and
he
can
break
you
down
and
never
raise
you
up
;
he
can
turn
his
Hand
upon
you
and
all
man-kind
,
as
the
Potter
doth
with
his
Clay
,
even
tread
it
and
mould
it
for
honour
or
dishonor
;
and
if
his
Spirit
blow
upon
you
,
and
if
he
smite
you
,
you
perish
,
and
none
can
restore
you
:
Take
heed
to
this
God
,
and
have
respect
unto
him
,
and
remember
you
are
but
as
Dust
before
him
;
and
you
now
have
a
time
for
a
moment
,
which
the
Lord
hath
given
you
to
try
you
what
you
will
do
,
and
how
you
will
walk
towards
him
;
an
Account
unto
him
must
you
give
of
all
your
wayes
:
Remember
this
now
in
your
life-time
,
while
you
have
time
,
and
the
day
of
your
visitation
is
not
quite
extinguished
.
4
Be
tender
and
compassionate
towards
all
men
;
not
perverse
,
hasty
and
froward
,
thinking
to
bow
men
to
your
wills
by
rigour
,
but
rather
win
them
by
love
,
and
this
is
of
good
report
to
you
,
to
be
humble
,
meek
and
tender
towards
all
,
even
towards
your
Enemies
;
and
insult
not
over
the
Afflicted
,
neither
add
to
their
Sufferings
;
for
the
Lord
can
raise
up
,
and
bring
down
whomsoever
he
will
,
according
to
his
pleasure
;
and
remember
that
Law
to
walk
by
it
,
Do
to
others
but
a●
ye
would
have
others
do
unto
you
in
the
same
case
;
and
be
not
too
cruel
to
such
,
who
cannot
conform
to
Times
,
and
Things
,
and
Men
;
for
what
know
you
,
but
some
mens
Consciences
may
be
tender
in
things
which
you
yet
make
no
Conscience
of
;
meddle
not
to
persecute
any
for
their
Conscience
sake
in
religious
matters
,
but
rule
and
govern
well
in
outward
Affairs
,
according
to
the
Law
of
God
;
but
afflict
not
,
nor
persecute
any
for
their
Conscience
sake
towards
God
,
while
they
walk
justly
,
as
men
,
in
things
between
man
and
man
:
Take
this
Counsel
,
lest
you
vex
the
Lord
against
you
,
to
destroy
you
.
5.
Be
moderate
and
compassionate
towards
this
same
People
,
that
are
accused
before
you
;
though
they
are
at
this
day
a
People
under
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
every
way
,
yet
shew
not
the
height
of
Rigour
and
Oppression
against
them
;
though
you
have
Power
to
imprison
them
,
and
to
deal
hardly
with
them
,
yet
be
tender
and
meek
,
and
shew
bowels
of
mercy
and
forbearance
;
and
use
not
the
extent
of
your
Power
,
to
seek
their
Destruction
,
lest
ye
provoke
the
Lord
against
your selves
:
for
the
God
of
Heaven
remembreth
their
Cause
,
and
doth
give
ear
to
the
cry
of
their
innocent
groanings
under
their
heavy
Burdens
,
and
Deliverance
may
he
work
for
them
,
whether
you
will
or
no
;
Though
it
be
an
hour
of
Affliction
,
and
a
day
of
great
Tryal
upon
them
,
yet
Wo
unto
them
that
shall
be
found
adding
to
their
Afflictions
,
by
encreasing
their
Burdens
through
Injustice
and
Persecution
:
Therefore
as
ye
hope
to
receive
Mercy
from
the
Lord
,
and
as
ye
would
have
his
Compassion
shewed
to
you
,
do
the
same
to
his
People
,
for
Power
is
in
your
Hands
to
be
Merciful
or
Cruel
,
to
relieve
them
or
persecute
them
;
and
it
is
your
day
of
tryal
what
you
〈◊〉
do
;
ye
have
your
hour
to
do
Good
or
evil
,
and
according
to
your
Works
will
the
God
of
Heaven
reward
you
.
6.
Consider
the
Innocency
of
this
People
;
they
are
clear
before
the
Lord
and
you
of
plotting
,
or
contriving
,
or
designing
Evil
again●●
you
,
or
this
Government
,
they
seek
not
the
hurt
of
any
mans
Person
,
nor
do
they
intend
Evil
towards
the
Government
or
Governours
;
Who
have
found
them
agitating
any
such
things
?
of
all
such
things
they
are
innocent
,
and
are
peaceable
Subjects
under
the
Government
,
and
are
perswaded
in
Conscience
so
to
●●ntinue
:
And
as
for
their
Deportment
in
their
Callings
and
Occasions
,
and
Tradings
amongst
Men
,
ask
their
Neighbours
;
Do
not
they
deal
justly
,
truly
,
and
equally
in
all
their
Dealings
and
Occasions
?
Do
not
they
speak
the
Truth
to
their
Neighbours
in
all
Matters
?
and
are
they
not
Persons
of
upright
and
inoffensive
Lives
and
Conversations
?
Do
they
defraud
their
Neighbours
?
or
are
they
Drunkards
or
vain
Persons
?
●et
the
very
Witness
of
God
in
their
Neighbours
answer
.
And
if
you
should
fall
a
persecuting
this
People
,
and
seek
to
destroy
them
,
concerning
whom
the
Witness
of
God
in
Mens
Consciences
giveth
such
an
Evidence
,
Wo
,
wo
will
be
unto
you
;
for
you
cannot
hurt
them
,
but
you
act
contrary
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
own
Hearts
,
which
will
condemn
you
in
the
Day
of
Judgment
.
So
let
this
dwell
upon
your
spirits
,
and
be
aware
what
you
do
;
take
good
Consideration
,
lest
you
act
out
of
God's
Counsel
to
your
own
overthrow
.
7.
Consider
what
became
of
all
the
Persecutors
of
old
,
Were
not
they
Eminently
destroyed
by
the
Hand
of
God
who
persecuted
the
Lord's
People
?
What
became
of
Pharoah
?
and
what
became
of
Hammon
?
and
what
became
of
Herod
,
who
persecuted
the
Lord's
Heritage
?
Let
this
enter
into
your
Hearts
,
to
be
Examples
to
you
,
that
you
persecute
not
the
Innocent
,
lest
God
overturn
you
by
the
Roots
;
for
as
I
have
said
,
The
Cause
of
this
People
God
regardeth
,
and
he
will
avenge
himself
in
his
season
of
all
their
Persecutors
;
Have
not
your
Hands
dipped
in
their
unjust
Afflictions
,
that
God
may
bless
you
;
and
spare
them
,
that
you
may
be
spared
in
the
Day
of
Vengeance
;
if
you
have
no
matter
of
Evil
against
them
in
things
between
man
and
man
,
nor
in
the
Affairs
of
your
Government
,
as
contriving
against
it
;
nor
nothing
but
concerning
the
Worship
of
their
God
,
and
the
Matters
of
their
Conscience
in
spiritual
things
;
Touch
them
not
,
Persecute
them
not
,
Afflict
them
not
;
but
be
tender
towards
them
,
as
you
will
answer
the
same
before
the
God
of
Heaven
.
These
are
only
Considerations
of
Warning
to
you
:
and
I
commit
the
Matter
to
the
Lord
;
and
ye
have
time
to
do
Good
or
Evil
,
and
accordingly
will
God
reward
you
.
A
Testimony
concerning
Government
and
Authority
.
WE
are
a
People
whom
God
hath
raised
up
out
of
the
Apastacy
,
Darkness
and
Ignorance
which
all
Christendom
hath
long
been
fallen
into
;
for
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
many
have
professed
the
Words
of
Christ
,
and
had
a
Name
of
Churches
,
and
the
shew
of
Religion
,
and
have
professed
the
Scriptures
,
but
have
wanted
the
same
Spirit
and
Power
of
Godliness
which
the
Apostles
lived
in
;
the
Life
and
Spirit
of
God
hath
been
wanting
amongst
the
false
Christians
,
and
they
have
been
persecuting
one
another
about
Religion
and
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
imposing
upon
one
anothers
Consciences
,
in
spiritual
Matters
;
and
Kings
and
Rulers
have
been
setting
up
what
kind
of
Worship
,
and
Religion
,
and
Church
Government
as
they
pleased
;
and
they
have
imposed
upon
Kingdoms
,
and
made
people
subject
to
them
,
to
profess
and
conform
to
such
a
Way
of
Worship
and
Religion
,
some
in
the
ignorance
of
their
Consciences
,
and
some
contrary
to
their
Consciences
;
and
all
this
hath
been
in
the
Apostacy
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
while
men
have
been
fallen
from
the
true
Faith
,
and
many
have
been
subject
to
their
Rulers
and
Governours
by
force
,
and
for
fear
,
and
not
for
Conscience
sake
;
for
Love
,
Peace
and
Unity
hath
been
wanting
among
Christians
,
and
Bitterness
,
Frowardness
and
False
heartedness
,
hath
been
amongst
them
:
but
out
of
all
this
the
Lord
hath
redeemed
us
into
Peace
and
Comfort
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
.
And
as
concerning
our
Principle
about
Magistracy
,
and
Government
,
and
obedience
thereunto
,
this
I
do
declare
.
1.
We
do
own
and
acknowledge
Magistracy
to
be
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
instituted
of
him
,
for
the
punishing
of
Evil-doers
,
and
for
the
praise
of
them
that
do
well
;
and
we
acknowledge
all
subjection
to
Authority
,
Magistracy
and
Government
:
This
is
our
Principle
,
and
hath
ever
been
our
Practice
,
known
through
these
Kingdoms
,
that
we
are
subject
by
doing
or
suffering
,
to
whatsoever
Authority
the
Lord
pleaseth
to
set
over
us
,
without
Rebellion
,
Sedition
,
Plotting
or
making
War
against
any
Government
or
Governors
.
2.
That
Government
and
Authority
which
is
justly
according
unto
God
in
all
its
Statutes
and
Ordinances
,
we
are
,
and
do
engage
to
be
subject
thereunto
,
by
full
Obedience
to
all
the
Commands
and
Injunctions
of
such
Authority
and
Government
,
whose
Laws
,
Ordinances
,
and
Commandments
are
grounded
upon
right
Reason
and
Equity
,
which
leadeth
to
do
to
all
men
as
we
would
be
done
unto
,
and
punish
the
contrary
;
to
such
Government
and
Authority
we
are
readily
subject
in
all
things
and
cases
;
and
we
are
for
the
Order
and
Assistance
of
such
Government
in
all
Righteousness
.
3.
That
Government
which
is
contrary
unto
this
,
which
is
Injustice
,
commanding
and
requiring
things
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
imposing
upon
People
in
Matters
and
Cases
,
contrary
to
Right
Reason
and
Equity
,
whose
Commands
are
different
to
the
Will
of
God
;
yet
to
such
Government
we
acknowledge
subjection
,
by
patient
suffering
under
all
Penalties
inflicted
for
disobedience
to
the
Commands
which
we
cannot
perform
by
Obedience
for
Conscience
sake
:
And
this
is
our
Principle
,
though
an
Authority
and
Government
were
never
so
Unjust
in
it self
,
and
in
its
exercise
,
yet
we
may
not
plot
nor
contrive
,
or
make
turbulent
Insurrections
to
redeem
our selves
from
such
Government
and
Authority
,
but
we
must
commit
our
Cause
to
the
Lord
in
such
case
,
of
suffering
under
any
unjust
Commands
of
Men.
4.
As
concerning
Church
and
Ministry
,
and
the
Exercise
of
Religion
,
We
believe
and
acknowledge
that
Christ
hath
a
Church
upon
Earth
,
and
a
lawful
Ministry
;
and
we
are
not
Enemies
to
Church
,
and
Ministry
,
and
Gospel-Ordinances
,
as
we
are
falsly
reputed
by
Men
,
ignorant
and
slanderous
;
but
we
only
bear
witness
against
the
corruption
and
degeneration
of
the
Church
of
Papists
and
Protestants
(
so
called
)
wherein
they
are
different
and
contrary
to
what
the
Churches
of
Christ
were
in
the
Apostles
dayes
;
they
are
different
and
contrary
I
assert
,
to
what
the
Churches
of
Christ
once
were
in
Ministry
,
(
in
its
Call
and
Maintenance
)
in
Ordinances
and
Worship
,
in
Discipline
and
Government
;
in
all
these
things
there
is
difference
to
what
these
things
were
in
the
true
Churches
in
the
Apostles
dayes
:
And
our
Principle
is
,
for
the
reforming
of
Ministry
,
Church
Government
,
Discipline
and
Worship
,
and
not
to
destroy
them
.
5.
As
concerning
Imposing
of
Faith
,
and
Doctrine
,
and
Practices
,
and
Worship
in
Religion
by
the
force
of
Laws
and
Penalties
,
in
the
ignorance
of
mens
Consciences
,
or
contrary
to
their
Consciences
:
We
do
say
,
This
Practice
never
was
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
but
is
an
Intrusion
of
Antichrist
,
and
we
bear
Testimony
against
it
,
not
to
be
of
God
,
but
contrary
to
him
:
And
that
outward
Government
and
Authority
in
Kingdoms
and
Nations
,
is
to
be
exercised
over
the
outward
man
,
in
things
between
man
and
man
,
and
not
over
the
inward
man
,
in
things
between
God
and
mans
Conscience
in
spiritual
Matters
,
and
Worship
,
and
Duty
to
God-wards
:
No
King
,
nor
Ruler
upon
Earth
,
hath
Power
given
him
of
God
to
exercise
such
Authority
over
the
Consciences
of
Men
in
the
Matters
of
God's
Kingdom
:
And
further
,
Religion
and
Church
Government
so
set
up
and
established
by
force
,
upon
Pains
and
Penalties
,
can
but
reform
a
People
into
Hypocrisie
and
false
Conformity
,
and
not
into
any
real
Performance
of
Religion
or
Duty
to
God
:
And
such
Performance
of
Religion
,
Church-Fellowship
and
Ordinances
is
not
unto
eternal
Life
,
but
to
the
making
of
men
two
fold
more
the
Children
of
the
Devil
.
6.
We
do
believe
,
That
it
is
the
Convictions
and
Teaching
of
the
Spirit
of
God
that
doth
make
men
and
People
only
truly
Religious
:
It
is
that
only
that
perswades
the
Conscience
from
all
Evil
unto
that
which
is
Good
;
and
true
Religion
,
and
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
Duty
towards
him
,
is
not
truly
learned
by
Traditions
of
time
,
Commandments
of
Men
,
or
Custom
of
Countries
,
or
the
like
;
but
it
is
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
its
Teachings
in
the
Consciences
of
People
,
that
leadeth
into
all
Truth
,
according
as
Christ
hath
said
;
so
that
the
Way
of
forcing
Religion
and
Duty
to
God
upon
People
by
force
and
outward
Penalties
,
this
was
never
known
among
the
Saints
and
Apostles
of
Christ
.
These
things
are
presented
to
your
Considerations
;
The
Lord
give
you
a
right
Understanding
of
them
,
and
that
you
may
walk
in
the
way
of
your
own
Peace
with
God
and
Man
.

SOME
CONSIDERATIONS
Presented
unto
the
King
of
England
,
&c.
Being
an
Answer
unto
a
Petition
and
Address
of
the
General
Court
of
Boston
in
New-England
;
presented
unto
the
KING
(
as
is
said
)
Feb.
last
,
the
Eleaventh
Day
,
1660.
Subscribed
by
Iohn
Indicot
,
the
chief
Persecutor
there
;
thinking
thereby
to
cover
themselves
from
the
Blood
of
the
Innocent
.
OH
King
,
this
my
Occasion
to
present
thee
with
these
Considerations
is
very
urgent
,
and
of
great
necessity
,
even
in
the
behalf
of
Innocent
Blood
;
hoping
that
my
Work
will
find
such
Favour
with
thee
,
as
to
induce
thee
to
the
reading
and
serious
consideration
hereof
.
My
Occasion
is
this
,
Because
of
a
Paper
presented
to
thee
,
called
,
The
humble
Petition
and
Address
of
the
General
Court
at
Boston
in
New-England
:
In
which
is
contained
divers
Calumnies
,
unjust
Reproaches
,
palpable
Untruths
,
and
malicious
Slanders
against
an
innocent
People
,
whom
they
scornfully
call
Quakers
;
whom
,
for
the
Name
of
Christ's
sake
,
are
made
a
Reproach
through
the
World
,
and
by
these
Petitioners
have
been
persecuted
unto
Banishment
and
Death
:
It
is
hard
to
relate
the
Cruelties
that
have
been
committed
against
these
People
,
and
acted
upon
them
by
these
Petitioners
;
they
have
spoyled
their
Goods
,
imprisoned
many
of
their
Persons
,
Whipped
them
,
cut
off
their
Ears
,
Burned
them
,
yea
,
Banished
and
Murdered
them
:
and
all
this
I
aver
and
affirm
before
thee
,
O
King
,
wholy
unjustly
and
unrighteously
,
and
without
the
Breach
of
any
just
Law
of
God
or
Man
;
but
only
for
and
because
of
difference
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
concerning
Spiritual
things
;
and
without
any
Transgression
of
the
Law
of
God
,
or
their
own
Laws
,
saving
,
that
they
made
Laws
against
them
on
purpose
to
spoil
their
Goods
,
imprison
Persons
,
cut
off
their
Ears
,
yea
,
and
kill
them
;
which
Laws
were
made
by
them
,
without
any
Power
truly
derived
from
the
lawful
Authority
of
England
,
contrary
to
their
Patent
.
And
now
,
O
King
,
these
same
men
have
presented
thee
with
a
Petition
,
in
which
is
asserted
very
many
extream
Reproaches
,
as
I
have
said
,
in
Contempt
and
Derision
of
that
People
;
and
all
this
,
as
if
those
People
were
guilty
of
heinous
Crimes
,
that
it
might
appear
to
thee
,
as
if
these
Petitioners
had
done
nothing
but
Iustice
in
what
they
have
done
;
and
they
seek
to
cover
themselves
,
and
to
hide
their
Wickedness
before
thee
,
in
what
they
have
unjustly
acted
;
and
this
seems
to
be
the
Current
of
some
part
of
the
same
Petition
,
already
presented
unto
thee
,
like
as
if
they
had
done
no
Evil
,
though
they
have
Unjustly
Banished
,
〈◊〉
off
Ears
,
Whipped
inhumanly
,
and
taken
away
lives
,
as
aforesaid
:
And
they
would
have
thee
believe
,
they
are
Innocent
towards
thee
,
and
towards
us
;
whenas
it
is
evident
,
as
the
Sun
at
Noon-day
,
that
they
are
our
Persecuters
,
and
that
they
have
●●justly
persecuted
us
unto
Death
for
the
Name
of
Christ
;
and
that
also
they
are
not
unto
thee
as
they
Hypocritically
feign
themselves
.
And
therefore
,
O
King
,
for
the
clearing
of
our selves
,
and
the
Name
of
the
Lord
which
we
profess
,
and
for
reproving
of
their
bold
&
impudent
Insolencies
,
both
in
what
they
have
already
done
to
us
,
and
now
in
seeking
to
cover
themselves
unto
thee
:
And
also
,
if
there
be
any
doubtfulness
in
thy
Heart
of
these
Matters
,
for
these
Ends
and
Causes
,
with
Respect
to
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
Honour
〈◊〉
the
King
,
I
hereby
presume
to
pursue
their
said
Petition
,
even
unto
thy
Court
,
and
to
wipe
away
the
Slanders
and
Reproaches
of
Ungodly
Men
,
as
much
as
possible
;
hoping
thereby
thou
wilt
receive
due
and
just
Information
in
this
matter
of
proceeding
between
us
and
them
,
that
thy
just
Judgment
may
be
given
accordingly
.
And
I
shall
transcribe
some
few
of
their
own
words
,
presented
to
thee
,
and
thereupon
spread
some
few
Considerations
before
thee
also
;
and
I
pray
God
give
thee
an
Understanding
to
judge
justly
in
this
and
all
other
cases
.
The
first
thing
that
I
note
,
is
,
whereas
they
say
,
That
they
have
chosen
rather
the
pure
Scripture-Worship
,
with
a
good
Conscience
,
in
this
poor
remote
Wilderness
(
to
●it
,
New-England
)
among
the
Heathens
;
than
the
Pleasures
of
England
,
with
subjection
to
the
Imposition
of
the
then
so
disposed
,
and
so
far
prevailing
Hierarchy
,
which
we
could
not
do
without
an
evil
Conscience
,
&c.
say
they
.
The
Considerations
presented
unto
the
King
,
upon
these
words
,
are
divers
.
1.
The
Worship
,
Doctrine
,
Discpiline
and
Constitution
of
the
Church
of
New-England
is
different
and
contrary
,
and
not
purely
according
unto
the
Scriptures
,
in
the
Administration
of
the
Gospel
,
nor
in
a
pure
Conscience
,
purely
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
though
they
seem
to
justifie
their
own
Way
and
Case
before
the
King
;
and
this
may
justly
be
made
appear
in
his
Presence
,
upon
good
Occasion
;
only
at
this
time
I
assert
the
Case
,
and
if
ever
God
gives
oportunity
,
I
may
prosecute
it
with
Proofs
and
Evidences
,
and
that
to
the
great
Reproof
of
the
Church
(
so
called
)
of
New-England
;
who
are
not
only
in
Doctrine
,
Worship
and
Conversation
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
but
impudent
and
too
presumptious
,
to
affirm
their
own
Self-justification
and
Innocenc●
before
the
King
,
when
,
as
it
is
manifest
,
as
the
Day
is
from
the
Night
,
that
the
Pastors
and
Members
of
the
Church
of
New-England
want
the
Spirit
of
God
,
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
and
follow
the
spirit
of
Persecution
,
Violence
and
Cruelty
,
and
are
void
of
a
Good
Conscience
,
both
towards
God
and
Men.
To
prove
this
,
there
needs
no
greater
Evidence
than
their
own
Deport●…nt
towards
the
Harmless
Quakers
for
these
five
years
time
;
who
,
as
I
have
said
,
have
spoiled
their
Goods
,
and
imprisoned
their
Persons
,
cut
off
their
Ears
,
Banished
them
,
and
inhumanely
put
them
to
Death
;
and
all
this
because
of
difference
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
in
Religious
Matters
,
when
as
no
manner
of
Evil
could
be
charged
upon
them
in
the
things
between
man
and
man
.
And
if
these
be
not
works
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
forth
,
and
contrary
to
a
Good
Conscience
,
I
am
yet
ignorant
,
and
must
leave
it
to
the
Judgment
of
the
King
,
before
whom
this
Matter
is
brought
to
receive
his
Judgment
.
2.
Let
the
King
consider
,
how
they
have
ignorantly
condemned
themselves
in
the
same
things
,
for
whith
they
have
judged
others
;
for
while
they
seem
to
complain
of
the
Impositions
of
the
Bishops
,
which
they
stile
prevailing
Hierarchy
;
if
it
was
Transgression
in
the
Bishops
in
dayes
past
,
to
impose
upon
these
Petitioners
,
and
to
Persecute
them
for
Non-conformists
;
how
much
more
are
these
men
guilty
of
Imposition
and
Persecution
of
tender
Consciences
?
Nay
,
they
have
exceeded
in
the
same
Transgression
,
and
become
seven-fold
guilty
of
the
sins
themselves
which
they
complain
against
in
others
;
for
they
have
gone
further
in
Cruelty
and
Persecution
towards
the
Innocent
Quakers
,
than
ever
the
Bishops
proceeded
against
them
,
even
so
far
further
,
as
the
murdering
of
a
man
is
more
than
cutting
off
his
Ear
:
And
the
Cause
of
the
Quakers
towards
these
Petitioners
hath
been
as
Innocent
,
as
ever
theirs
was
towards
the
Bishops
.
Oh
hypocritical
Generation
!
who
are
condemning
of
others
for
that
whereof
themselves
are
guilty
,
and
imposing
upon
others
in
a
far
higher
degree
than
ever
the
Bishops
imposed
on
them
;
witness
their
Law
in
New-England
,
which
judgeth
every
man
to
pay
5s
.
per
day
,
who
come
not
to
their
Assembly
;
and
imposing
Fines
of
40s
,
and
50s
.
apiece
on
such
as
meet
together
to
worship
the
Lord
;
which
are
evident
signs
of
an
evil
Conscience
,
as
themselves
speak
.
The
next
thing
that
I
note
,
upon
which
the
King
ought
to
consider
,
the
Petitioners
say
concerning
the
Quakers
,
Open
Capital
Blasphemers
,
open
Seducers
from
the
Glorious
Trinity
,
the
Lord
's
Christ
,
the
Blessed
Gospel
,
and
from
the
holy
Scriptures
as
the
Rule
of
Life
;
open
Enemies
to
the
Government
it self
,
as
established
in
the
hand
of
any
but
men
of
their
own
Principles
;
malignant
Promoters
of
Doctrines
directly
tending
to
subvert
both
our
Church
and
State
.
By
way
of
Answer
to
this
,
let
the
King
consider
;
1.
The
envious
and
detestable
spirit
of
maliciousness
of
these
Accusers
,
and
how
vehement
and
fervent
their
persecuting
spirit
is
drawn
forth
with
reproachful
Tearms
in
the
highest
degree
,
like
as
if
they
could
not
utter
sufficiently
the
Envy
of
their
Hearts
;
or
,
as
if
they
wanted
words
to
demonstrate
their
Malignity
and
devouring
Malice
against
that
People
,
whom
they
in
scorn
call
Quakers
;
and
all
this
to
present
us
Odious
and
Abominable
before
thee
,
O
King
:
I
say
but
this
of
them
unto
thee
,
The
Lord
forgive
them
,
if
they
have
not
sinned
unto
Death
,
and
Unpardonably
;
I
have
no
desire
of
Revenge
towards
them
,
but
I
leave
Vengeance
to
the
Lord
,
who
will
recompence
in
his
season
;
neither
do
I
desire
to
provoke
or
incense
the
King
against
them
,
only
Duty
to
God
and
the
King
teacheth
me
,
and
Love
Constraineth
me
,
and
an
absolute
Necessity
presseth
much
upon
me
,
to
spread
our
Denyal
of
their
Bitter
and
Malicious
Accusations
against
us
before
the
King
,
unto
whom
we
are
thus
foully
accused
:
And
I
say
,
I
am
confident
,
That
the
King
hath
better
Experience
of
us
,
than
to
believe
these
our
Malicious
Accusars
:
And
I
do
appeal
to
him
,
from
the
knowledge
which
he
hath
already
of
us
,
that
he
believes
we
are
Innocent
,
and
not
guilty
of
those
things
thus
unjustly
charged
upon
us
;
and
I
question
not
but
he
will
rightly
understand
that
these
Accusations
are
more
out
of
Hatred
and
Envy
against
us
,
than
out
of
desire
to
benefit
the
King
by
such
Presentation
.
2.
I
do
testifie
unto
the
King
,
and
before
the
whole
World
,
That
we
do
profess
and
believe
concerning
the
Father
,
Son
and
Spirit
,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
the
Blessed
Gospel
,
and
the
Holy
Scriptures
;
I
say
,
we
do
believe
and
make
prefession
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
concerning
all
these
things
;
and
by
our
Doctrines
and
Instructions
do
perswade
all
people
to
believe
,
and
not
seduce
any
from
these
Truths
of
the
Gospel
;
and
this
is
known
through
these
Kingdoms
concerning
us
,
though
we
stand
now
accused
falsly
concerning
these
Matters
before
the
King
.
But
as
for
the
Scriptures
being
the
Rule
of
Life
;
we
say
,
The
Spirit
of
God
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
is
the
Rule
of
Life
&
Faith
unto
the
Saints
,
and
leads
not
contrary
,
but
according
unto
the
Scriptures
in
the
Belief
and
Practice
of
whatsoever
the
Scripture
saith
:
And
if
these
Petitioners
did
make
the
Scriptures
the
Rule
of
their
Lives
and
Practices
,
for
the
denyal
of
which
they
here
accuse
us
,
they
would
not
have
cut
off
Ears
,
Banished
and
put
to
Death
for
the
Cause
of
Conscience
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
proceeded
from
another
spirit
than
that
which
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
.
3.
Concerning
Government
,
our
Principles
and
Practices
are
well
known
to
many
,
and
partly
to
the
King
;
We
are
not
Enemies
unto
Government
it self
,
as
these
our
Accusers
do
charge
us
;
but
it
is
our
Principle
,
and
hath
ever
been
,
and
is
our
Practice
to
be
subject
to
whatsoever
Government
is
set
up
over
us
,
either
by
doing
or
suffering
;
and
neither
to
vilifie
nor
rebel
against
any
Government
or
Governours
,
by
any
Malicious
Plots
or
Contrivances
;
but
to
walk
in
Meekness
and
Humility
towards
all
,
being
subject
for
Conscience
sake
,
as
I
have
said
,
either
by
doing
or
suffering
:
and
I
doubt
not
but
the
KING
is
sufficiently
informed
hereof
,
and
believeth
this
Testimony
.
4.
As
for
our
Doctrines
tending
to
subvert
both
Church
and
State
,
this
is
also
a
false
Accusation
and
Slander
;
for
our
Doctrines
are
to
convert
,
and
not
to
subvert
;
even
to
convert
to
God
,
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
that
men
should
live
in
these
things
,
and
forsake
all
that
which
is
contrary
;
and
this
Effect
our
Doctrines
have
wrought
in
the
World
,
as
the
Testimony
of
many
Consciences
shall
bear
witness
.
Oh
let
the
King
consider
of
our
Defence
,
as
well
as
of
our
Enemy's
Charge
;
who
have
thought
it
not
enough
to
Whip
,
most
cruelly
Banish
,
cut
Ears
,
and
put
to
Death
the
Innocent
,
but
must
still
accuse
them
●alsly
,
and
seek
to
cover
themselves
by
fawning
and
flattering
Addresses
unto
the
King
,
like
as
if
they
had
done
no
Evil
;
whenas
the
God
or
Heaven
is
Witness
,
to
whom
we
can
appeal
,
That
our
Brethren
suffered
the
Tortures
of
shameful
Death
in
New-England
(
through
their
unjust
Laws
and
Sentences
)
as
Saints
and
Servants
of
the
Living
God
,
for
the
Name
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
for
his
Truth
,
which
they
held
until
Death
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
.
And
the
Executioners
of
these
inhumane
Cruelties
seem
so
far
from
Repentance
for
their
Evil
doing
,
that
they
rather
justifie
themselves
in
what
they
have
done
,
and
cease
not
to
smite
,
and
wound
and
reproach
the
Innocent
,
and
that
before
the
King
,
and
that
after
they
have
Martyred
them
.
Again
,
These
Petitioners
say
,
After
all
other
means
for
a
long
time
used
in
vain
,
we
were
at
last
constrained
for
our
own
safety
(
say
they
)
to
pass
a
Sentence
of
Banishment
against
them
upon
Pain
of
Death
;
such
was
their
Dangerous
,
Impetuous
and
Desperate
Turbulency
to
Religion
,
and
to
the
State
Civil
and
Ecclesi●stical
,
as
that
〈◊〉
unwilling
soever
,
could
it
have
been
avoided
,
the
Magistrate
,
at
least
in
Conscience
both
to
God
and
man
,
judged
himself
,
called
for
the
Defence
of
all
to
keep
the
Passage
with
the
Point
of
the
Sword
held
towards
them
;
this
could
do
no
harm
(
say
they
)
to
them
that
would
be
warned
thereby
:
their
willing
rushing
themselves
thereupon
was
their
own
act
;
and
we
with
all
humility
conceive
a
Crime
,
bringing
their
Blood
upon
their
own
Heads
.
By
way
of
Answer
to
this
,
let
it
be
considered
;
1.
What
Means
was
for
a
long
time
used
,
before
they
put
them
to
Death
,
is
shameful
to
mention
;
Was
it
not
by
the
means
of
Cruel
Whippings
,
Banishment
,
Imprisonment
,
Cutting
off
Ears
,
and
taking
their
Goods
by
Violence
?
It
s
true
,
by
this
Means
the
Petitioners
dealt
with
the
Quakers
,
and
never
by
any
Christian
like
Means
;
for
the
very
first
of
our
Friends
,
that
ever
came
among
them
,
they
made
them
Prisoners
ere
they
came
on
shore
,
and
inhumanely
dealt
with
them
,
and
Banished
them
;
and
this
was
the
first
and
fairest
Means
that
ever
was
used
by
them
,
which
are
not
Gospel-Means
,
nor
the
Way
by
which
the
Church
of
New-England
ought
to
have
proceeded
:
Had
our
Friends
been
in
Error
,
and
such
as
they
say
of
them
,
it
had
been
their
Duty
to
have
gained
them
by
Love
,
by
Mercy
,
and
by
Long-suffering
;
these
are
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
ought
to
be
us'd
towards
them
that
are
in
Error
,
in
order
to
the
converting
of
them
from
the
Error
:
but
contrary
to
this
,
the
Magistrates
and
Church-Members
of
New-England
took
Cain's
Weapons
,
and
dealt
Cruelly
,
and
not
like
Christians
,
nor
like
sober
Men
towards
the
Innocent
;
but
their
thus
proceeding
was
in
vain
,
as
themselves
acknowledge
;
for
notwithstanding
,
the
Gospel
of
Christ
grew
and
encreased
,
and
many
were
converted
to
the
Faith
of
Christ
Jesus
throughout
New-England
.
2.
Let
it
be
considered
,
what
their
dangerous
and
desperate
Turbulency
was
to
States
Civil
and
Ecclesiastical
;
Did
ever
these
poor
People
,
whom
they
condemned
and
put
to
shameful
death
,
lift
up
a
Hand
against
them
,
or
appear
in
any
Turbulent
Gesture
towards
them
?
Were
they
ever
found
with
any
Carnal
Weapon
about
them
?
or
,
What
was
their
Crime
,
saving
that
they
warned
Sinners
to
Repent
,
and
the
Ungodly
to
turn
from
his
way
?
We
appeal
to
the
God
of
Heaven
on
their
behalf
,
whom
they
have
Martyred
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
That
they
had
no
other
Offence
to
charge
upon
them
,
saving
their
Conversations
,
Doctrines
and
Practices
,
as
Saints
of
the
Most
High
God
;
and
this
is
witness'd
by
many
of
their
Neighbours
,
though
themselves
have
hardened
their
Hearts
against
the
Reproof
of
God's
Witness
.
And
we
certainly
believe
,
it
was
their
Malice
and
Envy
that
constrained
them
to
pass
Sentence
of
Death
upon
them
,
and
not
the
Equity
of
either
just
Law
of
God
or
man
;
for
they
deserved
not
the
merit
of
Death
,
such
was
the
Innocency
of
their
Cause
:
And
they
are
no
more
safe
by
the
taking
away
the
Lives
of
our
Guiltless
Brethren
,
than
they
were
before
;
no
more
safe
I
say
,
but
more
lyable
to
the
Justice
and
Terror
of
the
Almighty
,
and
to
the
Justice
of
the
King
,
and
the
good
Laws
of
England
,
for
,
and
because
of
their
Barbarous
Cruelties
:
But
,
as
I
have
said
,
we
leave
Vengeance
to
the
Lord
,
and
commit
them
to
the
Justice
of
God's
Hand
,
which
we
doubt
not
but
it
will
pass
upon
them
in
his
Day
and
Season
.
3.
Whereas
they
would
seem
to
extenuate
their
Crime
of
putting
to
shameful
Death
the
Lord's
Servants
;
they
tell
the
King
,
as
if
they
only
kept
the
Passage
with
the
Point
of
the
Sword
held
towards
them
,
as
if
they
had
no
intention
to
hurt
them
,
and
this
the
Magistrate
did
both
in
conscience
to
God
and
man
:
I
say
,
It
is
to
be
considered
what
occasions
were
given
them
to
stand
in
the
Passage
with
the
point
of
the
Sword
towards
this
People
;
Was
it
for
any
Cause
on
their
parts
,
but
as
aforesaid
,
for
reproving
their
Sin
,
and
crying
against
their
Wickedness
,
whenas
their
Lives
&
Conversations
were
Harmless
and
Innocent
amongst
them
?
I
say
,
This
was
no
just
Cause
for
the
Magistrates
to
stand
in
the
Passage
with
the
Point
of
the
Sword
,
and
therefore
they
were
Unjust
in
so
doing
,
if
they
had
done
no
more
,
and
proceeded
in
the
way
of
insolent
Usurpers
:
For
what
Reason
had
they
to
stop
the
Passage
with
the
Point
of
the
Sword
,
for
hindring
of
as
good
Subjects
as
themselves
to
pass
through
the
King's
Dominions
?
Is
not
this
derogating
from
the
Honour
and
Authority
of
the
King
,
for
the
sub-ordinate
Magistrates
of
New-England
to
usurp
such
Authority
over
free-born
People
of
England
,
as
to
prevent
them
from
Egress
and
Regress
in
lawful
Occasions
in
any
part
of
the
King's
Dominions
?
And
I
suppose
this
will
be
found
contrary
to
their
Patent
and
Prescription
,
delivered
them
by
Charles
the
first
,
even
this
standing
in
the
Passage
with
the
Point
of
the
Sword
towards
the
Innocent
,
and
imposing
great
Fines
upon
men
that
came
●o
their
Harbour
to
sell
their
lawful
Commodities
;
if
they
had
but
the
Name
of
Quakers
,
though
no
other
thing
could
be
charged
against
them
,
yet
they
were
imposed
upon
by
Fines
and
Imprisonment
,
and
the
Point
of
the
Sword
was
held
out
against
them
;
and
all
this
I
suppose
is
contrary
to
their
Patent
,
and
in
Derogation
and
Dishonour
to
King
Charles
the
second
.
4.
But
to
extenuate
their
own
Fact
,
of
putting
to
shameful
Death
the
Innocent
,
they
charge
their
Death
to
be
a
wilful
Rushing
,
and
their
Death
was
their
own
Act
,
and
their
Blood
was
upon
their
own
Heads
:
Concerning
which
,
let
it
be
considered
,
they
no
more
wilfully
rushed
upon
their
Death
,
neither
is
their
Blood
on
their
own
Heads
more
then
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
that
were
slain
for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
.
But
these
Petitioners
do
plead
,
These
Quakers
(
so
call'd
)
knew
there
was
a
Law
proclaimed
against
them
,
Sentence
of
Banishment
upon
pain
of
Death
;
but
they
would
not
keep
away
,
but
came
again
,
and
run
themselves
upon
the
Sword
point
:
And
after
this
manner
of
arguing
they
would
make
it
appear
,
their
Death
was
of
themselves
,
and
their
Blood
was
on
their
own
Heads
;
but
these
poor
Evasions
,
and
favourable
Interpretations
of
their
own
Cruelties
,
ought
not
to
cover
them
from
the
Justice
of
God
,
not
from
the
Justice
of
the
King
;
for
it
s
to
be
considered
,
That
where
God
commands
one
thing
,
and
men
another
,
God
ought
to
be
obeyed
,
rather
then
men
:
and
it
is
fully
believed
by
us
,
That
these
Sufferers
did
not
go
into
New-England
in
their
own
cause
,
but
in
God's
Cause
,
and
in
the
Motion
of
his
holy
Spirit
,
and
in
good
Conscience
towards
God
;
they
did
rather
suffer
the
loss
of
their
own
Lives
for
their
Obedience
towards
God
,
than
to
disobey
him
to
keep
the
Commandments
of
men
:
And
this
was
the
Apostles
Case
,
when
they
were
commanded
to
preach
no
more
in
the
Name
of
Iesus
;
Did
they
at
all
obey
it
for
fear
of
Man
?
And
when
the
three
Children
were
commanded
to
bow
to
the
Image
,
did
they
do
it
for
fear
of
Man
?
or
,
If
they
had
dyed
for
their
Disobedience
of
the
Kings
Commandment
,
could
it
have
been
said
,
That
their
Blood
was
upon
their
own
Heads
,
and
that
they
rushed
themselves
upon
it
?
and
this
is
in
part
the
like
Case
,
that
our
Friends
suffered
under
the
Injustice
of
these
Petitioners
,
who
would
now
cover
themselves
like
men
of
guilty
Consciences
;
But
the
God
of
Heaven
will
let
them
know
one
Day
,
and
the
King
may
justly
do
it
,
That
the
Blood
of
our
Brethren
lieth
upon
the
Heads
of
the
Magistrates
of
New-England
,
and
they
are
guilty
of
their
cruel
Death
,
for
they
put
them
to
Death
,
not
for
any
Evil
doing
between
man
and
man
,
but
for
their
Obedience
to
God
,
and
for
Good
Conscience
sake
towards
him
.
Again
.
The
Petitioners
say
,
The
Quakers
dyed
not
because
of
their
other
Crimes
,
how
Capital
soever
,
but
upon
their
super-added
Presumptions
,
and
incorrigible
Contempt
of
Authority
,
breaking
in
upon
us
,
notwithstanding
the
Sentence
of
Banishment
;
bad
they
not
been
restrained
,
there
was
too
much
cause
to
fear
,
that
we
our selves
should
quickly
have
dyed
,
or
worse
;
and
they
would
not
be
restrained
,
but
by
Death
:
Nay
,
had
they
at
last
but
promised
to
depart
the
Iurisdiction
,
and
not
to
return
without
leave
from
Authority
,
we
should
have
been
glad
to
have
said
they
should
not
dye
.
In
Answer
to
this
,
it
is
considerable
;
1.
What
these
other
Capital
Crimes
were
,
which
the
Sufferers
were
guilty
of
;
here
is
a
secret
Charge
of
Crimes
,
without
Nomination
;
and
this
is
the
part
of
Slanderers
,
to
Accuse
in
general
,
without
particular
Proof
;
but
this
is
still
to
extenuate
their
own
horrid
Fact
,
of
putting
the
Innocent
to
Death
,
and
that
the
King
may
believe
better
of
them
than
indeed
he
hath
cause
:
and
the
super-added
Presumption
,
and
incorrigible
Contempt
of
Authority
;
what
was
it
any
more
than
that
Unjustly
and
without
Reason
,
they
commanded
them
to
depart
,
or
if
they
did
not
,
they
should
be
put
to
Death
?
whenas
no
Reason
could
possibly
be
rendred
for
such
Law
&
Commandment
,
but
because
they
were
called
Quakers
,
and
were
different
in
Matters
of
Faith
and
Iudgment
concerning
spiritual
Things
;
for
,
as
I
have
said
,
No
Sedition
,
Evil-dealing
,
Drunkenness
,
Lying
,
nor
any
of
these
thingt
could
be
charged
against
them
;
and
therefore
the
Law
and
Commandment
of
Banishment
was
unjust
,
and
could
not
be
actively
obeyed
by
our
Brethren
;
but
they
returned
again
,
not
in
contempt
of
Lawful
Authority
,
but
as
they
were
moved
,
and
upon
their
Occasions
,
which
was
lawful
and
just
in
the
sight
of
God
and
Men
,
deporting
themselves
Harmlesly
towards
all
people
;
and
this
is
stiled
,
Super-added
Presumption
,
and
incorrigible
Contempt
of
Authority
;
but
they
must
needs
put
a
Good
Name
upon
their
bad
Work
,
and
render
the
Innocent
as
high
Offenders
as
Excellency
of
Speech
can
demonstrate
.
2.
There
can
be
no
just
Cause
rendred
,
wherefore
they
should
fear
our
Brethren
,
except
the
Guiltiness
of
their
own
Consciences
;
for
,
as
I
have
said
,
They
were
never
seen
with
any
Sword
or
Staff
amongst
them
,
nor
any
Carnal
Weapon
,
nor
ever
held
Designs
of
Mischief
;
and
for
them
thus
wickedly
to
suggest
unto
the
King
,
as
if
they
would
have
killed
them
,
or
worse
,
this
is
Backbiting
and
Slandering
in
the
highest
degree
,
and
punishable
by
the
Law
of
God
and
Men
:
And
its
true
,
Them
whom
they
have
killed
are
restrained
,
but
the
Principles
and
Practices
of
the
Quakers
(
so
called
)
have
entred
into
New-England
,
and
passes
thorough
the
Consciences
of
people
without
Restraint
.
And
it
s
a
shame
for
themselves
to
mention
,
how
all
the
Pastors
,
and
the
whole
Church
of
Boston
overcame
Three
Innocent
Persons
,
and
what
Weapons
they
overcame
them
by
;
not
the
Weapons
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
the
Weapons
of
Cruelty
and
Hard
heartedness
;
even
as
Caiu
overcame
Abel
,
and
as
the
Iews
overcame
Christ
,
and
so
did
the
Church
of
New-England
overcome
our
Brethren
:
And
this
is
all
the
Confession
they
can
make
of
Restraining
our
Friends
,
That
they
cruelly
put
them
to
Death
,
and
thereby
overcame
them
.
And
it
is
not
known
to
us
,
that
the
Court
at
Boston
hath
such
Absolute
Power
,
as
that
the
Free
Subjects
of
England
may
not
come
and
return
again
and
again
,
according
to
their
lawful
Occasions
,
without
leave
from
the
Authority
of
Boston
Court
;
I
say
,
this
seems
to
be
usurp'd
Authority
,
rather
than
lawfully
establish'd
upon
them
by
Charles
the
first
;
but
it
is
apparent
,
and
the
King
knoweth
it
,
that
in
this
case
the
Magistrates
or
Boston
have
taken
too
much
upon
them
and
proceeded
further
than
they
can
justifie
either
before
God
or
the
King
,
in
Imprisoning
Whipping
,
Cutting
off
Ears
,
Banishing
and
Putting
to
Death
the
good
Subjects
of
England
,
without
either
President
,
Example
,
or
any
power
derived
from
the
Lawful
Authority
of
England
.
And
we
have
cause
to
say
,
They
were
so
far
from
desiring
to
spare
their
Lives
(
as
they
would
suggest
to
the
King
)
that
they
thirsted
for
their
Blood
,
and
nothing
else
could
satisfie
them
,
but
the
extinguishment
of
their
Lives
by
shameful
Torture
.
Again
,
The
Petitioners
fawn
and
flatter
in
these
words
;
(
say
they
)
Let
not
the
King
hear
mens
words
;
your
Servants
are
true
Men
,
Fearers
of
God
and
the
King
;
and
not
given
to
Change
;
zealous
of
Government
and
Order
;
we
are
not
seditions
to
the
Inte
est
of
Caesar
,
&c.
In
answer
to
this
,
many
things
are
considerable
;
1.
Why
should
the
Petitioners
seem
to
exhort
the
King
,
not
to
hear
mens
words
?
Shall
the
Innocent
be
accused
before
him
,
and
not
heard
in
their
lawful
Defence
?
Must
not
the
King
hear
the
Accused
as
well
as
the
Accusers
,
and
in
as
much
Justice
?
I
hope
God
hath
given
him
more
Nobility
of
Understanding
,
than
to
receive
or
put
in
practice
such
Admonition
;
and
I
desire
it
may
be
far
from
the
King
ever
to
condemn
any
Person
or
People
upon
the
Accusation
of
others
,
without
full
hearing
of
the
Accused
,
as
well
as
their
Enemies
;
for
it
is
Justice
and
Equity
so
to
do
,
and
thereby
shall
his
Judgment
be
the
more
just
.
2.
They
pretend
to
be
Servants
to
the
King
,
and
that
they
fear
him
,
and
are
not
given
to
change
,
I
shall
not
seem
to
intrude
into
the
Matters
to
which
I
am
a
Stranger
;
but
I
leave
this
Case
to
the
King
to
consider
,
what
their
former
Actings
and
the
current
of
their
spirit
hath
been
towards
the
King
:
I
shall
only
instance
one
Particular
,
well
known
to
me
in
a
Letter
to
one
Gurden
,
dated
at
Boston
,
and
subscribed
by
some
of
these
Petitioners
,
where
they
say
,
There
is
more
Danger
in
these
Quakers
(
as
they
call
them
)
to
Trouble
and
Overcome
England
,
than
in
the
KING
of
SCOTS
,
and
all
the
Popish
Princes
in
Germany
:
these
be
the
Petitioners
own
words
,
whereby
it
is
manifest
what
the
current
of
their
spirit
was
against
the
King
then
,
tho
gh
now
they
have
chang'd
their
Tale
,
and
call
him
High
and
Might●
Prince
,
and
Dread
Soveraign
,
and
such
like
,
and
that
they
are
the
King's
Servants
,
&c.
whenas
not
long
since
they
have
signified
by
their
words
quoted
against
them
,
That
there
was
Danger
in
the
King
of
Scots
(
as
they
called
him
)
and
reputed
him
a
Troubler
of
England
;
and
numbred
him
with
the
Popish
Princes
of
Germany
,
or
amongst
them
:
Let
but
the
King
consider
their
own
words
,
and
he
shall
plainly
read
as
well
the
temper
of
their
spirit
against
him
not
long
since
,
as
he
shall
see
their
Hypocrisies
and
fawning
Fatteries
at
this
time
;
and
he
may
fully
perceive
that
these
Petitioners
are
given
to
Change
,
though
they
would
make
him
believe
otherwise
.
And
this
their
Address
unto
the
King
is
like
the
Approach
of
the
uncircumcised
Gibeonites
unto
Ioshua
,
cap.
9.
who
wrought
wilily
and
deceitfully
,
using
the
same
words
to
Ioshua
,
We
are
thy
Servants
,
as
these
Petitioners
have
us'd
to
the
King
;
whose
deceitful
Address
is
equally
paralel
with
that
mention'd
;
the
case
is
worth
observing
,
Iosh.

3.
As
for
being
zealous
of
Government
and
Order
,
not
Seditious
nor
Schismatick
,
as
they
say
;
it
is
to
be
consider'd
,
that
their
Government
,
and
the
Order
thereof
,
is
not
only
different
and
contrary
to
the
Government
and
Order
of
the
Churches
of
Christ
,
but
different
and
contrary
also
to
the
wholsom
Constitution
of
the
●ivil
Government
of
England
;
who
have
made
Laws
,
and
executed
them
to
Banishment
and
Death
,
without
any
Power
deriv'd
from
the
Lawful
Authority
of
England
,
which
is
absolute
contrary
to
their
Patent
,
by
which
they
hold
their
Jurisdiction
,
which
saith
,
They
shall
make
no
Laws
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
England
,
&c.
I
shall
not
Charge
them
in
the
King's
Presence
further
of
Sedition
and
Schism
than
himself
believeth
concerning
them
.
Again
,
The
Petitioners
say
,
They
could
not
live
without
the
Publick
Worship
of
God
,
and
they
were
not
permitted
the
use
of
Publick
Worship
without
such
a
Yoak
,
Subscription
and
Conformity
,
as
they
could
not
consent
unto
without
sin
,
&c.
In
Answet
to
this
,
this
is
to
be
considered
;
That
these
Petitioners
have
laid
heavier
Yoaks
of
Subscription
and
Conformity
upon
others
than
ever
was
laid
upon
themselves
,
witness
their
imposing
Fines
upon
such
as
cannot
conform
to
their
Worship
,
some
Ten
Shillings
,
some
Forty
Shillings
,
and
some
Five
Pounds
;
if
any
shall
be
absent
from
their
Assembly
,
it
is
so
much
a
Day
;
and
if
any
keep
any
Meetings
different
from
their
Way
of
publick
Worship
,
it
is
so
much
a
Time
;
and
these
are
unjust
and
illegal
Impositions
,
and
it
is
a
heinous
Yoak
of
Tyranny
put
upon
the
Neck
of
the
King
's
good
Subjects
,
without
any
Power
derived
in
this
case
from
the
King
.
This
they
themselves
do
,
and
yet
are
complaining
of
such
Impositions
and
Yoaks
laid
upon
them
by
the
Bishops
;
which
were
not
comparable
to
these
;
which
discovers
their
own
just
Condemnation
in
the
same
Matters
for
which
they
accuse
others
.
And
thus
these
Considerations
are
presented
to
the
King
,
in
Vindication
of
that
Innocent
People
,
called
Quakers
,
whom
these
Petitioners
have
accused
as
guilty
of
heinous
Crimes
,
that
themselves
might
appear
Innocent
of
the
Cruelty
,
and
Injustice
,
and
shedding
of
the
Blood
of
Just
Men
,
without
Cause
;
being
men
of
Guilty
Consciences
,
upon
whom
the
Terror
of
God
,
and
of
the
King
,
seems
to
be
,
because
of
what
they
have
done
:
But
now
let
the
King
rightly
consider
of
the
Case
between
us
and
them
,
and
let
him
not
hide
his
Face
from
the
hearing
of
the
Cry
of
Innocent
Blood
.
And
for
a
further
Testimony
of
the
Wickedness
and
Emnity
of
these
Petitioners
,
and
to
demonstrate
how
far
they
had
proceeded
contrary
to
the
good
Laws
and
Authority
of
England
,
and
contrary
to
their
own
Pattent
,
hereunto
was
annexed
,
and
presented
to
the
King
,
a
Brief
of
their
Unjust
Dealings
towards
the
Quakers
(
so
called
)
which
the
Reader
may
see
at
large
in
the
Reccord
of
Sufferings
.
E.
B.
To
all
My
DEAR
COMPANIONS
,
In
the
Travel
and
Labour
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
And
in
the
Faith
and
Patience
,
in
the
Sufferings
for
his
NAME
's
SAKE
.
DEarly
and
Well-beloved
Brethren
,
in
the
Heavenly
Relation
,
and
Blessed
Immortal
Birth
,
of
which
we
are
born
most
dearly
in
our
Father's
Love
;
my
Salutation
extendeth
unto
you
all
,
as
one
with
you
perfectly
in
Sufferings
and
in
Rejoycings
,
in
Faith
and
Patience
,
and
even
in
all
things
which
you
do
and
suffer
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
our
God
;
and
my
Soul
greets
you
,
and
embraces
you
,
and
servently
wisheth
Peace
,
Love
and
Unity
,
and
the
Increase
of
every
good
Gift
unto
you
all
;
for
I
am
perfectly
one
with
you
;
if
you
receive
of
our
Father's
Fulness
,
I
am
refreshed
;
and
if
you
Rejoyce
,
I
am
glad
;
and
if
you
suffer
,
and
be
in
Heaviness
,
I
freely
partake
with
you
;
whatsoever
is
yours
,
whether
Liberty
or
Bonds
,
whether
Life
or
Death
,
I
partake
of
the
same
;
and
whatsoever
I
enjoy
,
the
same
also
is
yours
;
we
are
of
one
Birth
,
of
one
Seed
,
of
one
Line
,
even
of
the
Generation
of
him
who
is
without
Beginning
of
Dayes
or
End
of
Life
,
who
is
an
High
Priest
,
made
after
the
Power
of
an
Endless
Life
;
and
as
he
was
blessed
of
the
Father
,
so
are
we
,
because
we
are
of
the
same
Birth
,
and
are
Partakers
of
his
Nature
;
and
he
lives
in
us
,
and
we
in
him
.
Well
,
my
dear
Companions
,
I
need
not
multiply
words
unto
you
,
as
if
you
knew
not
these
things
;
for
,
What
know
I
,
that
you
know
not
?
or
,
What
can
I
say
,
but
you
know
the
same
?
Yet
bear
with
me
,
for
my
Heart
is
very
full
,
and
my
Soul
ready
to
be
poured
forth
,
that
I
may
once
more
express
a
little
quantity
of
what
is
abounding
in
my
Heart
;
for
Love
,
even
perfect
Love
,
even
that
Love
wherewith
we
are
beloved
of
the
Father
,
filleth
my
Heart
at
this
time
towards
all
of
you
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
;
and
I
know
nothing
but
Love
towards
you
all
;
and
I
doubt
not
but
in
the
same
Love
you
do
receive
this
my
Salutation
,
which
is
from
the
Fountain
of
Love
,
which
at
this
time
is
opened
in
my
Heart
.
Now
Dearly
Beloved
The
present
Considerations
of
my
Heart
are
very
many
concerning
the
great
Love
of
the
Father
,
which
hitherto
hath
been
shewed
unto
us
;
we
all
know
,
how
that
he
called
us
by
his
Grace
,
and
turned
our
Hearts
from
the
Vanities
and
Evil-wayes
of
this
World
,
and
sanctified
us
by
his
Word
,
and
put
his
Image
upon
us
,
and
called
us
by
his
Name
,
and
redeemed
us
unto
himself
,
and
gave
us
the
Testimony
of
his
holy
Spirit
in
our
own
Hearts
,
That
we
should
be
his
People
,
and
he
would
be
our
God
;
he
taught
us
,
and
instructed
us
,
and
fed
us
,
and
gave
us
Peace
and
Rest
in
himself
,
and
freed
us
from
the
Bondage
of
Sin
and
Corruption
,
and
from
his
Terror
because
of
sin
,
and
he
removed
our
Transgressions
,
and
blotted
them
out
,
and
ceased
to
smite
us
any
more
;
but
brought
us
into
the
Land
of
Rest
,
flowing
with
Mercy
and
Peace
,
and
Knowledge
,
and
all
good
Things
;
this
did
the
Lord
our
God
do
for
us
in
the
dayes
of
our
Infancy
,
even
when
we
were
yet
in
our
sins
,
he
called
us
forth
,
and
cleansed
us
from
them
;
and
when
we
were
Strangers
to
him
,
he
made
himself
known
unto
us
;
and
when
we
were
wholly
ignorant
,
he
gave
us
Knowledge
,
and
when
we
were
not
a
People
,
he
raised
us
up
,
and
made
us
worthy
to
be
called
by
his
Name
;
and
thus
,
and
after
this
manner
did
the
Father
love
us
,
and
shew
his
Love
unto
us
;
this
you
know
even
as
I
do
,
and
the
Consideration
of
it
causeth
me
thus
to
express
it
.
Again
,
when
he
had
thus
wrought
for
us
,
and
shewed
Love
unto
us
,
he
was
pleased
to
call
us
out
into
his
Work
,
to
the
turning
and
converting
of
others
unto
the
Way
of
Life
;
he
put
his
Spirit
into
us
,
and
gave
us
Gifts
of
Knowledge
and
Utterance
,
and
armed
us
with
Wisdom
,
and
Strength
,
and
Courage
,
and
every
way
fitted
us
for
that
work
and
service
in
which
he
hath
carried
us
;
he
,
I
say
,
fitted
us
for
his
Work
,
and
called
us
into
it
,
and
carried
us
on
joyfully
in
it
,
and
all
this
of
his
free
Love
,
and
infinite
Power
;
and
what
we
have
been
,
and
what
we
have
done
,
it
hath
been
only
of
the
Lord
,
and
not
of
our selves
,
even
of
his
Love
which
to
us
may
be
admirable
;
for
alas
,
what
were
we
but
Children
,
and
neither
Prophets
nor
Prophets
Sons
,
and
our
Education
unanswerable
for
these
things
,
and
to
perform
this
Calling
?
and
therefore
it
is
the
Lord
,
and
only
him
,
that
hath
effected
his
own
Purpose
through
us
,
and
by
us
,
as
Instruments
mean
of
our selves
,
but
by
him
very
excellent
.
Again
,
he
hath
mightily
prospered
us
in
his
Work
,
and
a
glorious
effect
we
have
beheld
of
our
Labours
,
and
Travels
,
and
Testimony
;
yea
,
the
Lord
hath
been
with
us
abundantly
,
and
his
Arm
hath
compassed
us
about
,
and
he
hath
often
given
us
great
victory
over
the
Wise
and
Prudent
of
this
World
;
he
hath
made
his
own
Word
often
very
powerful
in
our
Mouthes
,
to
the
wounding
of
the
Consciences
of
our
Enemies
;
and
the
Lord
hath
blessed
our
Testimony
,
to
the
confounding
of
the
Wisdom
of
this
World
,
and
to
the
gathering
of
many
unto
himself
;
and
he
hath
gone
forth
before
us
in
his
Authority
,
and
been
alwayes
with
us
in
his
own
Work
;
and
our
Testimonies
,
Labours
and
Travels
have
been
very
precious
and
pleasant
unto
the
Lord
,
and
all
his
People
;
and
the
effect
thereof
causeth
my
soul
to
rejoyce
,
because
the
Lord
hath
been
with
us
,
and
prospered
us
unto
a
great
People
,
who
have
received
our
Witness
,
and
accepted
thereof
unto
their
Salvation
,
and
unto
the
Lord
alone
the
glory
of
all
this
appertaineth
.
And
for
these
eight
years
and
upward
,
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
hath
carried
us
thorough
great
Labours
and
Travels
in
his
Service
;
and
many
Dangers
and
Persecutions
and
Afflictions
,
have
attended
us
all
this
time
;
and
ye
know
that
many
a
time
hath
the
Lord
delivered
us
from
the
Hands
of
such
,
as
would
have
destroyed
us
;
and
we
have
been
delivered
again
,
and
again
,
out
of
Dangers
and
Difficulties
;
and
the
Lord
hath
been
a
present
help
unto
us
in
the
time
of
our
trouble
;
for
the
plotting
of
the
Wicked
,
and
the
purpose
of
ungodly
Men
,
hath
often
been
broken
for
our
sakes
,
even
many
a
time
have
we
been
delivered
out
of
the
Snare
that
hath
been
laid
for
us
;
and
we
have
seen
our
Enemies
fall
before
us
on
the
right
Hand
,
and
on
the
Left
,
even
the
Wise
in
their
worldly
wisdom
,
and
the
Foolish
in
their
brutishness
,
both
Professors
and
Prophane
hath
our
God
often
cut
short
in
their
desires
,
and
endeavours
of
our
destruction
:
and
we
have
been
wonderfully
preserved
unto
this
day
,
and
all
this
I
attribute
to
the
infinite
Love
and
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
who
is
blessed
for
evermore
.
And
through
all
these
things
we
are
yet
alive
,
and
the
Lord
doth
not
fail
us
unto
this
hour
,
but
he
lives
and
walks
in
us
and
with
us
,
and
his
Testimony
is
with
us
,
even
the
Seal
of
his
good
Spirit
in
our
Hearts
,
that
we
are
his
Sons
and
Servants
,
and
we
are
confirmed
by
many
tokens
,
that
he
is
our
God
,
and
we
are
his
People
;
and
that
great
Oppression
which
we
have
met
withal
,
hath
not
restrained
us
,
but
thorough
it
all
have
we
grown
,
and
prospered
unto
this
day
:
and
concerning
the
things
whereof
we
have
testified
these
divers
years
,
I
am
no
way
doubtful
but
our
God
will
fulfil
them
,
neither
can
my
confidence
be
shaken
by
what
is
or
can
come
to
pass
;
for
Antichrist
must
fall
,
false
Ministry
and
Worship
,
false
Ways
and
Doctrines
God
will
confound
,
false
Power
and
false
Church
the
Lord
will
lay
low
;
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
must
raign
;
and
God
will
gather
his
People
more
and
more
,
and
glorious
dayes
will
appear
;
God
will
exalt
his
Kingdom
upon
Earth
,
and
throw
down
the
kingdom
of
the
man
of
sin
;
all
Oppression
must
cease
,
and
the
Oppressors
shall
no
more
be
;
and
God
will
free
his
People
,
and
they
shall
be
happy
in
this
World
,
and
forever
:
These
things
have
we
prophesied
from
day
to
day
;
and
my
faith
is
constant
and
unmovable
,
that
God
will
effect
these
things
in
his
season
;
for
the
Lord
never
yet
deceived
me
,
but
what
he
hath
said
will
surely
come
to
pass
.
And
therefore
Brethren
,
let
us
be
in
Hope
and
Patience
,
and
live
in
the
Word
of
Patience
,
and
not
be
faint-hearted
,
as
though
the
Lord
had
forgotten
us
,
or
was
unmindful
of
us
,
or
as
though
he
would
not
perform
what
he
had
testified
of
by
us
;
for
he
is
not
a
Man
,
that
he
should
lye
,
nor
as
a
Man
that
is
given
to
change
:
But
lift
up
your
Heads
;
for
the
Lord
is
with
us
,
even
in
our
greatest
Tribulations
and
Afflictions
,
and
he
will
accomplish
his
Purpose
;
for
he
is
mighty
to
save
his
People
,
and
to
destroy
his
Enemies
.
It
is
true
,
the
Gates
of
Hell
at
this
time
seem
to
be
open
against
us
,
and
we
are
a
People
like
to
be
swallowed
up
of
our
Enemies
,
and
floods
of
wickedness
seem
to
over-flow
,
and
the
waves
of
the
great
Sea
seem
to
be
void
of
mercy
,
and
the
hope
of
our
Adversaries
is
to
extinguish
us
from
being
a
People
,
and
to
destroy
us
from
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
and
the
Hands
of
our
Persecutors
are
highly
exalted
at
this
day
,
as
though
all
that
we
have
done
for
the
Lord
,
by
our
Labours
and
Travels
should
now
be
made
of
none
effect
.
Well
,
dear
Brethren
,
though
it
be
thus
,
yet
our
God
can
deliver
us
,
and
confound
our
Adversaries
;
and
we
can
appeal
unto
our
God
,
and
can
spread
our
Cause
before
him
;
and
he
knows
that
our
Sufferings
and
Afflictions
are
altogether
Unjust
,
and
Unequal
,
and
Unrighteous
,
and
that
our
Persecutors
do
afflict
us
out
of
their
Envy
,
and
without
any
just
cause
administred
unto
them
by
us
;
our
God
knows
it
,
Angels
and
Saints
know
it
,
that
we
are
at
this
day
a
Persecuted
People
for
Religions
sake
;
and
this
our
present
Affliction
is
not
any
just
Punishment
,
either
from
the
Justice
of
God
,
or
from
the
justice
of
men
.
For
God
hath
given
us
the
Witness
of
his
eternal
Spirit
,
that
Wrath
is
not
in
him
towards
us
;
his
Wrath
be
to
his
Enemies
,
but
unto
us
is
Joy
and
Peace
for
evermore
:
and
the
Lord
clears
us
,
and
he
justifies
us
;
who
then
shall
condemn
us
?
he
chargeth
no
guilt
upon
us
,
as
if
we
were
unto
our selves
the
cause
,
by
our
evil
deeds
,
of
this
our
present
sufferings
,
and
as
if
this
were
come
to
pass
upon
us
,
as
punishment
from
the
Hand
of
God
:
I
say
,
it
is
not
so
;
these
our
present
Sufferings
are
not
out
of
God's
Anger
towards
us
;
for
his
Love
is
to
us
,
let
his
Wrath
be
to
his
Enemies
:
and
as
I
said
,
neither
is
this
suffering
in
the
justice
of
men
;
for
unto
all
the
World
we
can
say
,
(
and
God
himself
shall
plead
our
Cause
)
whom
have
we
wronged
or
done
evil
to
?
What
evil
have
we
done
to
any
Mans
Person
?
Whose
Goods
have
we
falsly
taken
or
coveted
?
Against
whom
have
we
designed
Mischief
?
even
the
Lord
himself
be
Judge
between
us
and
our
Persecutors
in
this
matter
;
for
unto
him
we
are
known
that
we
do
desire
the
good
of
all
,
and
not
the
hurt
of
any
,
and
yet
we
are
dealt
with
as
Evil
doers
,
whenas
the
God
of
Heaven
is
Witness
in
our
Consciences
,
that
we
neither
plot
nor
contrive
,
nor
agitate
in
thought
or
word
the
hurt
of
any
mans
Person
;
but
we
walk
justly
towards
all
,
being
our
Principle
to
do
to
others
as
we
would
be
done
unto
;
and
we
can
plead
our
cause
unto
our
God
,
and
he
shall
plead
our
cause
with
our
Enemies
,
and
this
is
the
present
state
of
our
case
;
what
we
suffer
at
this
time
,
it
is
singly
in
the
Cause
of
God
,
and
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
which
we
hold
;
therefore
freely
let
us
commit
our
Cause
unto
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
if
we
dye
,
it
is
for
him
,
and
if
we
live
,
it
is
to
him
;
and
we
seek
not
vengeance
against
our
Enemies
,
but
leave
it
to
the
Lord
to
plead
with
them
.
And
dearly
Beloved
,
I
hope
I
need
not
exhort
you
to
be
patient
and
faithful
in
this
day
of
our
tryal
,
knowing
that
the
Cause
is
so
excellent
in
which
we
are
tryed
,
it
is
God's
Cause
,
and
not
our
own
;
and
I
hope
you
all
have
the
Testimony
of
his
Spirit
in
your
Consciences
verifying
the
truth
of
the
Cause
for
which
we
suffer
;
and
having
that
Evidence
,
we
need
not
to
be
doubtful
as
towards
God
,
not
ashamed
before-Men
,
if
so
be
that
every
one
feels
the
Evidence
of
the
Spirit
of
God
bearing
witness
,
that
we
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
and
for
the
Name
of
Christ
Jesus
.
And
so
dear
Brethren
,
lift
up
your
Heads
,
and
be
as●…d
,
that
we
are
the
Lord's
,
and
in
his
Cause
we
are
tryed
,
and
he
will
judge
and
avenge
our
Persecutors
in
his
season
;
and
we
shall
be
a
People
when
the
Egyptians
lie
dead
upon
the
Sea-Shore
,
and
when
the
raging
Sea
is
dryed
up
,
this
sa●e
People
shall
be
safe
;
for
hath
the
Lord
done
so
excellent
things
for
us
?
hath
he
led
us
forth
and
blessed
us
unto
this
day
?
and
hath
he
preserved
us
hitherto
through
many
Tribulations
and
Dangers
?
hath
he
shewed
infinite
Love
and
Favour
unto
us
to
this
hour
?
And
will
he
now
suffer
us
to
be
destroyed
from
being
a
People
?
surely
no
;
Will
he
give
our
Enemies
their
hearts
desire
to
cut
us
all
off
,
that
they
may
blaspheme
his
Name
?
surely
no
;
and
if
it
be
the
Pleasure
of
the
Lord
,
that
some
of
us
should
seal
our
Testimony
with
our
Blood
,
good
is
the
Will
of
the
Lord
;
not
ours
,
but
his
Will
be
done
:
for
the
Testimony
that
we
have
born
for
these
divers
years
,
hath
been
so
excellent
in
it self
,
and
in
its
Fruits
and
Effects
,
that
the
finishing
of
it
deserves
the
best
Seal
that
possibly
we
can
signe
it
with
,
which
is
indeed
our
hearts
Blood
;
and
this
dwells
upon
my
spirit
:
and
yet
,
though
it
should
be
thus
,
my
confidence
is
sure
,
that
the
Work
of
the
Lord
shall
prosper
,
and
our
Testimony
shall
be
glorious
forever
;
and
this
People
shall
never
be
extinguished
from
being
a
People
.
And
I
know
not
any
thing
that
remains
upon
our
part
at
this
day
,
but
that
we
commit
our selves
into
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
,
living
in
the
Seed
of
God
,
wherein
our
Election
is
sure
,
before
the
World
was
,
and
forever
:
and
let
us
remember
one
another
,
and
pray
one
for
another
;
and
let
us
stir
up
all
the
Children
of
our
Father
to
Faithfulness
and
Patience
,
while
we
have
time
;
I
say
,
let
us
walk
to
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
keeping
Faith
and
a
good
Conscience
to
our
last
end
;
our
Testimony
shall
never
dye
,
nor
our
Memories
never
perish
when
we
are
ceased
to
be
;
and
though
we
suffer
now
the
loss
of
Life
,
and
all
we
have
,
yet
the
Effects
thereof
will
be
glorious
in
Ages
to
come
,
and
our
present
Sufferings
will
hasten
the
Glory
of
God's
Work
throughout
the
World
:
Receive
this
as
my
Salutation
to
you
all
.
It
is
now
eight
dayes
since
I
left
Ireland
,
where
my
Service
hath
been
precious
for
the
Lord
,
for
full
six
Moneths
;
all
which
time
the
Lord
carried
me
in
much
Faithfulness
and
Diligence
in
his
Service
,
to
the
confirming
of
many
in
the
Truth
of
God
,
and
to
the
converting
of
others
;
and
through
,
and
because
of
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
which
was
with
me
,
I
had
a
very
precious
time
,
and
was
wonderfully
preserved
through
many
Dangers
and
Tryals
;
and
I
travelled
near
two
thousand
Miles
to
and
fro
in
that
Land
,
and
had
very
free
passage
in
the
principal
Cities
and
Towns
,
till
my
work
for
present
was
fully
ended
there
,
having
more
time
then
could
be
expected
to
clear
my
Conscience
to
all
People
:
and
it
would
be
too
large
to
mention
every
particular
Trans-action
,
wherein
I
perceived
the
Eminent
Hand
of
God
with
me
;
and
also
many
things
I
observed
concerning
the
present
state
of
things
which
I
shall
not
now
mention
;
for
what
have
we
to
do
with
the
Affairs
of
worldly
Kingdoms
?
but
as
for
Friends
,
it
was
well
with
them
,
they
grow
and
increase
in
the
Blessings
and
Fulness
of
the
Father
;
and
when
I
came
thence
all
was
quiet
,
and
very
few
in
Prison
,
though
(
I
suppose
)
the
Tydings
of
things
as
they
are
here
;
will
produce
the
same
Sufferings
upon
them
:
But
I
hope
they
will
be
bold
and
valiant
for
the
Truth
,
in
giving
their
Testimony
by
faithful
Sufferings
,
till
these
things
be
finished
.
Thus
I
remain
in
Life
and
Death
,
and
when
I
am
no
more
,
in
everlasting
remembrance
,
your
dear
Brother
and
Companion
,
by
doing
and
suffering
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
and
his
Truth
.
I
am
well
,
and
at
liberty
as
yet

and
1661
RIGHTEOUS
PLEA

England
,
And
his
COUNCIL
,
&c.
Being
the
true
State
of
the
present
Case
of
the

Truly
Demonstrated
and
Justly
Pleaded
on
their
Behalf
;
for
the
true
Information
of
the
King

that
they
may
well
understand
the
Truth
and
Verity
of
doubtful
Cases
,
and
may
shew
Just
Judgment
and
Mercy
.
And
this
is
laid
down
in

to
Worship
God

Concerning

this
day
.
-
4.

particularly
of
this

-

Concerning

,
and
how
great
an
Enemy
it
is
to
the
King
and
his
Government
,
laid
down
in
ten
Particulars
.
All
which
Cases
are
truly
Stated
and
pleaded
,
and
the
Cause
of
the
Innocent
Vindicated
.
And
this
for
the
King
and
his
Government
,
that
they
may
be
Just
and
Righteous
,
and
perfectly
according
to
God
.
The
Epistle
to
the
King
and
his
Council
.
OH
Friends
!
this
is
your
Day
that
God
hath
given
you
,
to
try
you
and
to
prove
you
what
you
will
do
,
and
whether
you
will
Rule
,
and
Iudge
,
and
Exercise
your
Power
for
God
,
or
against
him
;
and
this
is
the
Hour
of
your
tryal
,
and
the
living
God
that
made
Heaven
and
Earth
beholds
you
,
and
his
Eye
is
upon
you
,
and
he
waites
for
Iustice
,
true
Iudgment
,
Mercy
,
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
to
be
brought
forth
by
you
in
the
Land
,
that
he
might
bless
you
and
prosper
you
;
but
and
if
the
contrary
be
abounding
,
and
brought
forth
and
exercised
thorough
you
,
Blessings
shall
be
turned
into
a
Curse
,
and
the
Iust
God
will
deal
with
you
after
your
deserts
;
for
the
Reward
of
the
Almighty
is
Iust
and
Equal
unto
all
the
Sons
of
men
,
even
according
to
their
ways
and
works
;
and
the
judgment
of
you
nor
of
any
is
determined
by
him
,
but
according
as
He
is
served
,
obeyed
and
feared
,
or
the
contrary
.
And
seeing
you
have
a
day
to
do
good
,
and
to
forsake
all
evil
,
to
do
Iustice
,
Mercy
and
Truth
in
the
Earth
,
and
to
subdue
the
contrary
;
if
that
you
do
the
things
you
ought
not
,
and
leave
undone
what
God
requires
of
you
to
do
,
and
trifle
away
your
time
in
matters
of
less
value
,
and
spend
your
days
in
Pleasures
and
Vanities
,
and
neglect
Mercy
and
Iudgment
in
the
Earth
,
and
have
no
regard
to
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
and
the
Oppressed
,
to
deliver
them
from
their
cruel
Persecutions
;
if
it
be
thus
with
you
in
this
your
day
,
Who
shall
stand
in
the
Gap
,
to
prevent
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
from
breaking
out
?
or
who
shall
plead
for
you
in
the
day
of
your
Reward
,
when
God
himself
ariseth
unto
just
Iudgment
,
to
judge
all
Flesh
,
and
to
deliver
the
Innocent
?
Oh
Friends
!
is
this
nothing
to
you
?
Is
there
no
cause
unto
you
of
consideration
in
this
matter
?
Ought
you
not
to
lay
these
things
to
heart
?
Why
,
surely
you
are
but
men
,
and
your
Breath
is
in
your
Nostrils
,
and
your
Substance
but
dissolvable
clay
,
and
the
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
can
do
what
he
will
with
you
,
and
concerning
you
;
if
ye
please
him
,
it
might
be
well
with
you
;
but
if
the
contrary
,
he
can
answer
your
doings
with
an
equal
Reward
,
and
none
can
prevent
him
.
And
here
is
a
Cry
,
and
a
very
great
Cry
of
Persecution
under
your
Authority
,
the
Prisons
filled
with
Upright
and
Innocent
Persons
,
to
the
ruin
of
Persons
,
Wives
and
Families
,
if
the
great
Mercy
of
the
Lord
did
not
prevent
〈◊〉
than
the
Iustice
of
men
;
thousands
within
these
few
moneths
have
been
cast
into
Goals
,
and
Dungeons
,
and
nasty
Holes
;
and
divers
have
finished
their
Lives
,
and
dyed
in
Prisons
;
many
being
taken
out
of
their
Houses
,
and
from
their
lawful
Callings
;
and
many
taken
out
of
Meetings
,
where
they
have
been
waiting
upon
God
,
and
cruel
Sufferings
inflicted
upon
them
,
and
all
this
for
Truth
and
Righteousness-sake
,
and
for
their
Profession
and
Practice
in
Religion
;
when
as
no
plotting
or
evil-dealing
towards
the
King
nor
any
of
his
Subjectes
,
could
be
justly
charged
and
proved
against
them
.
And
thus
the
Innocent
have
been
made
a
Prey
to
prophane
Persons
,
and
their
Sufferings
have
been
woful
,
and
all
this
hath
been
under
and
by
your
Authority
;
And
are
these
things
nothing
to
you
?
or
do
you
judge
this
is
well
doing
?
Is
this
Iustice
and
true
Iudgment
?
Is
this
for
your
Happiness
and
Prosperity
?
Let
the
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
judge
in
this
matter
between
this
People
and
You
,
for
the
Cry
of
their
Sufferings
are
very
loud
in
the
Ears
of
God
,
and
they
have
been
laid
before
you
,
and
you
ought
to
have
relieved
them
,
and
eased
their
heavy
Burdens
,
and
shewed
Iustice
,
Pitty
and
Love
,
and
this
would
have
made
for
your
Happiness
;
but
if
that
you
always
neglect
to
hear
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
,
and
of
the
Oppressed
,
yet
God
hears
,
and
takes
notice
;
and
though
this
People
should
have
no
Helper
in
the
Earth
,
yet
He
is
their
Helper
,
and
their
Cause
is
committed
unto
him
.
Can
these
things
stand
?
can
you
be
happy
in
these
Proceedings
,
while
the
Innocent
suffer
under
you
?
Is
it
in
your
Hearts
to
destroy
the
Heritage
of
God
?
do
you
think
to
extinguish
an
innocent
People
from
off
the
Earth
?
Must
none
wait
upon
God
,
and
worship
him
,
and
pray
to
him
,
but
after
your
Prescriptions
and
Limitations
?
And
will
you
kill
and
destroy
all
such
as
do
not
?
who
cannot
for
good
Conscience
sake
conform
to
every
Way
of
Worship
and
Religion
imposed
,
but
must
wait
upon
God
,
and
worship
him
and
pray
to
him
according
as
his
Spirit
teacheth
and
guideth
;
will
you
,
I
say
,
destroy
all
such
?
Is
it
in
your
hearts
to
effect
it
?
if
it
be
,
the
God
of
Heaven
will
not
prosper
you
in
such
Purposes
;
Will
ye
force
men
to
forsake
the
Way
of
their
God
,
wherein
they
have
found
his
Presence
?
will
ye
persecute
men
for
their
Religion-sake
,
while
yet
they
walk
uprightly
in
their
Conversations
among
men
?
Oh
Friends
!
it
is
not
Iustice
and
true
Iudgment
thus
to
do
,
it
pleaseth
not
God
,
neither
doth
it
unite
the
hearts
of
Subjects
in
true
Love
and
Unity
,
but
it
hath
contrary
Effects
,
and
that
you
may
find
.
Indeed
,
according
to
my
judgment
,
such
Proceedings
are
not
good
Policy
nor
humane
Wisdom
,
for
you
to
seek
to
establish
one
particular
Perswasion
and
kind
of
Religion
,
and
impose
that
by
force
,
and
persecute
and
seek
to
destroy
all
the
rest
that
are
otherwise
minded
,
if
they
will
not
deny
their
Principles
and
Consciences
,
and
conform
:
this
seems
,
I
say
,
no
good
Policy
among
men
;
for
if
it
doth
gratifie
one
sort
of
men
in
their
desires
,
it
discontenteth
and
dissatisfieth
many
more
,
and
it
breaketh
Love
and
Unity
amongst
Subjects
;
and
your
safety
is
in
the
uniting
of
Peoples
hearts
to
you
,
and
one
to
another
in
Love
and
Liberty
,
and
not
in
the
Divisions
and
Distractions
of
People
;
surely
this
cannot
be
for
your
safety
.
When
as
if
you
did
give
Liberty
to
all
that
were
peaceable
in
their
Lives
and
Conversations
,
in
the
exercise
of
their
Religion
in
Faith
and
Worship
to
God-wards
;
this
would
cause
all
to
love
you
,
and
none
to
be
discontented
with
you
in
good
reason
:
If
one
sort
of
People
had
as
much
Liberty
as
others
(
in
the
ways
of
their
Religion
I
mean
)
and
none
more
than
others
,
this
doubtless
would
encrease
Content
among
Subjects
,
and
be
ablessing
to
you
and
your
Authority
;
and
to
proceed
in
that
way
which
may
keep
the
People
in
Love
and
Unity
one
with
another
,
and
to
you-wards
,
this
were
good
Policy
for
your
establishment
to
perpetuity
;
and
there
seems
to
be
no
otherway
,
than
in
shewing
Iustice
,
Mercy
,
and
Liberty
to
all
in
all
right
ways
,
and
in
the
exercise
of
their
Consciences
towards
God
.
And
this
is
my
Iudgment
,
the
way
for
you
to
prosper
,
is
,
to
leave
the
prescribing
the
Way
of
Worship
unto
God
,
as
his
Spirit
shall
teach
and
perswade
the
Conscience
,
and
to
leave
the
Iudgment
in
all
Cases
of
Conscience
about
Spiritual
Things
unto
Him
,
and
not
to
meddle
about
imposing
Religion
,
nor
persecuting
men
for
that
cause
,
for
it
is
not
your
place
to
do
it
;
but
you
are
to
rule
well
over
the
outward
man
,
and
to
judge
in
the
Cases
of
wrong
between
man
and
man
,
but
not
at
all
in
the
Cases
between
God
and
mens
Consciences
.
But
you
may
say
,
Who
art
thou
,
inferiour
man
that
seemest
to
advise
us
that
are
high
and
potent
,
and
wise
enough
for
our selves
?
Well
,
though
it
be
thus
,
though
I
am
so
,
and
not
much
acquainted
with
the
State-affairs
,
nor
do
I
profess
Policy
in
the
Governments
of
this
World
,
yet
this
I
say
,
Whatsoever
my
Birth
or
Quality
be
,
and
whether
I
live
or
dye
,
yet
these
things
you
must
find
true
one
day
;
(
for
I
speak
not
as
a
Politition
but
as
a
Servant
of
God
)
that
your
prosperity
and
Happiness
in
this
World
,
and
hereafter
,
standeth
,
in
shewing
and
executing
true
Iustice
and
Iudgment
,
and
Mercy
and
equal
Liberty
towards
all
,
without
respect
of
their
Title
in
the
Profession
and
Practice
of
Religion
,
and
in
allowing
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
Duty
to
God-wards
,
to
all
Christian
People
equally
in
your
Dominions
;
and
not
to
persecute
or
destroy
any
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
for
the
Exercise
of
their
Religion
to
God-wards
:
This
is
the
Way
of
your
Prosperity
,
and
the
contrary
is
the
Way
of
your
Destruction
;
if
that
ye
persecute
Men
for
their
Conscience
sake
,
and
exercise
Lordship
and
Authority
over
mens
Consciences
in
Spiritual
Things
;
and
if
ye
prescribe
a
Way
of
Worship
,
and
seek
to
destroy
all
that
cannot
conform
thereunto
:
if
you
do
thus
,
this
is
not
good
Policy
to
establish
you
.
Well
,
I
shall
say
little
further
,
but
that
these
things
I
write
not
as
your
Enemy
,
but
as
your
Friend
,
who
would
you
have
saved
both
Soul
and
Body
,
and
not
as
in
any
kind
of
Harshness
in
my
spirit
towards
you
do
I
write
,
but
in
Love
and
Compassionateness
to
you
and
these
Kingdoms
.
And
I
have
here
in
brief
stated
and
pleaded
the
case
of
the
Innocent
People
called
Quakers
,
who
are
at
this
time
under
great
Afflictions
and
Tribulations
by
your
Authority
;
and
it
hath
been
in
my
Heart
divers
times
to
declare
the
Substance
of
these
things
unto
you
,
but
at
last
I
have
chosen
to
write
my
Mind
to
present
to
you
,
concerning
the
Matters
very
needful
for
you
to
be
informed
in
;
and
it
is
for
your
sakes
,
as
well
as
theirs
,
that
I
have
done
it
,
that
you
may
not
run
on
to
act
any
thing
against
them
upon
Suspitions
and
Accusations
of
others
,
without
hearing
our
Defence
:
and
therefore
it
is
,
for
the
avoiding
and
stopping
of
Persecution
in
the
Land
;
for
this
Cause
have
I
taken
in
hand
Submissively
,
and
not
Presumptiously

The
Case
Stated
and
Pleaded
concerning
Swearing
at
all
,
and
particularly
concerning
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
.
1.
WE
do
acknowledge
our selves
to
be
free-born
People
of
this
Kingdom
of
England
,
the
Land
of
our
Nativity
;
and
we
do
assert
,
That
we
have
just
and
lawful
Right
and
Title
,
as
such
,
to
possess
and
enjoy
our
Lives
,
Liberties
and
Estates
,
both
by
the
Laws
of
God
and
Man
;
having
never
unto
this
day
,
since
we
were
a
People
,
forfeited
our
Birth-right
as
men
,
by
any
Rebellion
,
Sedition
,
Contempt
,
or
otherwise
;
but
have
alwayes
been
and
are
a
People
exercised
in
the
Law
of
our
God
,
by
walking
justly
towards
all
men
,
and
doing
to
others
as
we
would
be
done
unto
,
and
have
been
and
are
a
Peaceable
People
under
every
Government
and
Authority
that
hath
been
over
us
since
the
Lord
raised
us
up
.
And
I
do
hereby
declare
,
That
we
now
are
and
shall
be
Faithful
,
Innocent
and
Peaceable
in
our
several
Stations
and
Conditions
,
under
this
present
Government
of
King
Charles
the
second
,
whom
we
acknowledge
supream
Magistrate
and
Governour
over
this
Kingdom
;
and
for
Conscience
sake
we
are
obedient
and
submissive
to
him
,
as
such
,
in
all
his
Commands
,
either
by
doing
and
performing
of
what
he
justly
requireth
,
or
by
patient
suffering
under
whatsoever
is
inflicted
upon
us
,
in
the
Matters
for
which
we
cannot
be
obedient
for
Conscience
sake
,
when
any
thing
is
required
of
us
different
from
the
just
Law
of
God
:
And
to
this
Subjection
,
to
the
King
and
his
Government
,
we
are
bound
by
the
Law
of
Righteousness
;
and
such
hath
ever
been
our
Principle
and
Practice
,
and
is
unto
this
day
,
even
to
be
Quiet
,
and
Peaceable
and
Patient
under
every
Authority
that
is
set
over
us
;
and
not
in
Unrighteousness
,
to
Plot
,
or
Contrive
,
or
Rebel
against
any
Government
or
Governours
,
nor
to
seek
our
own
Deliverance
from
Injustice
and
Oppression
,
in
such
a
way
.
And
we
are
perswaded
to
seek
the
Preservation
of
the
King's
Person
and
Authority
by
all
just
and
lawful
Means
,
and
not
to
Rebel
against
him
with
carnal
Weapons
;
and
so
far
as
his
Government
is
in
Justice
,
Mercy
and
Righteousness
,
we
declare
true
and
Faithful
Subjection
and
Obedience
thereunto
;
and
wherein
it
is
otherwise
,
we
shall
be
subject
by
patient
suffering
what
is
unequally
imposed
upon
us
,
and
yet
not
Rebel
in
any
Turbulent
way
of
Conspiracies
and
Insurrections
:
For
,
our
Principles
are
not
for
War
,
but
for
Peace
with
all
men
so
much
as
in
us
lie
;
neither
may
we
render
Evil
for
Evil
to
any
,
but
are
to
be
subject
to
the
King
and
his
Government
,
Actively
or
Passively
,
upon
the
Conditions
aforementioned
.
And
we
renounce
all
Forreign
Authority
,
Power
and
Jurisdiction
of
the
Pope
,
or
any
else
,
from
having
any
Supremacy
whatsoever
over
the
King
,
o●
any
the
good
Subjects
of
England
.
And
this
we
Declare
,
Acknowledge
and
Testifie
,
in
the
Fear
and
Presence
of
God
(
to
whom
we
and
all
Mankind
must
give
an
Account
)
and
that
without
secret
Equivocation
,
or
any
deceitful
mental
Reservation
.
2.
But
as
for
all
Oaths
and
Swearing
,
we
utterly
deny
,
for
Conscience
sake
towards
God
,
because
Christ
Jesus
hath
commanded
Not
to
Swear
at
all
,
Mat.
5.
And
the
Apostle
saith
,
Above
all
things
,
my
Brethren
,
Swear
not
,
Jam.
5.
And
it
was
the
Principle
and
Practice
of
divers
holy
Martyrs
,
even
some
of
the
Protestant
Church
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
in
all
Ages
,
Not
to
Swear
at
all
in
any
Case
:
so
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
according
to
the
Example
of
Saints
in
former
Ages
,
we
do
refuse
to
Swear
,
in
this
Case
of
Allegiance
to
the
King
,
and
in
all
other
Cases
whatsoever
,
and
we
cannot
Swear
at
all
:
Though
the
Truth
and
Verity
of
all
Things
in
all
Cases
,
so
far
as
known
to
us
,
and
as
Occasion
requireth
,
we
can
acknowledge
and
testifie
with
Yea
and
Nay
,
as
in
the
Fear
and
Presence
of
God
,
and
with
true
Intent
and
Meaning
,
to
discover
the
Truth
,
as
is
needful
to
be
known
:
And
in
this
manner
we
acknowledge
just
Allegiance
to
the
King
and
his
Government
(
that
we
shall
live
Peaceably
,
and
not
Plot
nor
Rebel
against
him
)
according
to
the
Law
of
God
and
a
safe
Conscience
,
but
without
any
Oath
,
or
Swearing
at
all
;
for
we
may
not
break
the
Command
of
Christ
,
nor
walk
contrary
to
the
Example
of
the
Apostles
and
Saints
by
Swearing
,
though
we
suffer
the
Loss
of
all
because
thereof
.
And
it
is
our
known
Principle
and
Practice
,
ever
since
we
were
a
People
,
that
in
no
Case
whatsoever
,
though
of
great
Dependancy
oft
times
to
our selves
,
both
in
respect
of
Advantage
to
us
,
and
also
in
avoiding
of
Sufferings
,
we
have
not
taken
any
Oath
,
nor
Sworn
at
all
;
whereby
it
is
manifest
,
that
our
refusing
chiefly
to
take
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
is
not
because
it
is
that
Oath
,
but
because
it
is
an
Oath
,
and
for
Conscience
sake
we
cannot
Swear
at
all
.
3.
And
thus
the
state
of
our
present
Case
,
about
this
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
is
different
from
some
others
,
from
all
such
who
can
swear
and
take
Oaths
in
other
Cases
,
to
whom
taking
of
an
Oath
in
it self
is
not
matter
of
Conscience
;
but
as
for
us
,
we
make
Conscience
of
an
Oath
in
it self
,
and
that
upon
just
Ground
,
as
we
are
able
to
demonstrate
:
and
therefore
our
Refusal
of
this
Oath
of
Allegiance
gives
no
Ground
at
all
of
Doubt
or
Suspition
concerning
us
,
as
if
we
would
not
live
peaceably
and
quietly
under
this
Government
,
or
as
if
we
would
Rebel
against
,
or
Plot
to
destroy
the
King's
Person
or
Authority
,
and
so
deny
to
take
this
Oath
,
as
if
we
would
leave
our selves
clear
to
proceed
in
such
wayes
:
this
Judgment
cannot
justly
be
given
of
us
,
because
we
deny
to
Swear
at
all
,
in
all
Cases
;
which
if
it
were
not
so
,
but
that
we
could
Swear
in
other
Cases
,
and
not
in
this
,
then
we
might
justly
be
the
more
suspected
that
we
had
a
reserve
against
the
King's
Person
and
Government
,
and
our
living
Peaceably
might
be
the
more
doubted
of
:
but
being
our
known
Principle
and
Practice
alwayes
,
Not
to
Swear
at
all
in
any
Case
whatsoever
,
this
removeth
all
Ground
of
Jealousie
,
or
Cause
of
Suspition
of
us
in
this
Case
:
And
also
,
we
being
ready
to
confess
,
all
just
Authority
and
Power
to
the
King
,
to
declare
Obedience
thereunto
solemnly
and
sincerely
,
and
that
we
shall
live
Peaceably
and
quietly
under
his
Government
,
and
not
to
Plot
or
Rebel
against
him
,
and
this
to
confirm
by
Yea
and
Nay
;
our
Testimony
of
this
kind
may
as
justly
be
taken
,
and
stand
as
effectual
,
and
be
as
faithfully
performed
,
as
the
Oaths
of
any
others
;
for
we
make
Conscience
to
perform
what
we
say
in
Yea
and
Nay
,
as
much
as
any
do
to
perform
what
they
Swear
;
and
this
is
known
of
us
in
the
Consciences
of
our
Enemies
.
So
that
in
Good
Conscience
,
and
Just
Reason
,
and
Equal
Justice
,
we
are
excusable
from
all
Penalties
and
Forfeitures
in
that
behalf
,
of
denying
the
OATH
of
ALLEGIANCE
.
4.
And
the
King
and
his
Government
is
not
the
less
safe
and
secure
,
though
we
refuse
to
swear
Obedience
to
them
;
nor
could
they
be
any
safer
or
securer
if
we
,
contrary
to
our
Principles
and
Consciences
,
were
forced
by
Penalties
to
swear
Allegiance
;
for
,
by
the
same
Principle
which
keeps
us
from
Swearing
,
and
by
which
we
deny
it
,
we
must
be
preserved
to
live
Peaceably
,
and
not
to
Plot
nor
Rebel
against
the
King
:
and
if
we
renounce
our
Principle
and
our
good
Conscience
,
and
be
induced
to
swear
against
our
Consciences
,
what
likelyhood
is
there
to
perform
such
a
forced
Oath
,
taken
contrary
to
our
Consciences
and
Principles
?
For
if
we
swear
to
the
King
and
his
Government
,
because
of
the
Fear
of
Men
,
and
to
save
our
Estates
,
&c.
and
this
contrary
to
our
Consciences
,
it
might
well
be
suspected
of
us
,
that
at
Opportunity
we
would
break
such
Oaths
for
fear
of
Men
,
or
some
Self-end
:
On
the
other
hand
,
If
we
had
already
renounced
our
good
Consciences
,
so
that
it
more
appears
we
shall
perform
good
Obedience
to
the
King
and
his
Government
,
acknowledg●d
by
Yea
,
without
an
Oath
,
and
in
good
Conscience
,
then
by
Swearing
,
forced
on
us
,
contrary
to
our
Consciences
;
therefore
our
Yea
may
better
be
accepted
in
this
Case
,
then
Swearing
can
be
demanded
of
us
.
And
also
,
If
we
should
Change
with
the
Times
,
and
Renounce
our
Principles
and
Consciences
,
and
Swear
,
we
should
make
our selves
Ridiculous
,
and
a
Scorn
to
all
men
,
and
bring
our selves
into
a
capacity
not
ever
to
be
trusted
in
any
Case
,
if
we
should
bow
and
bend
to
Times
and
Powers
,
and
for
Terror
of
●en
deny
our
Religion
,
as
other
Hypocrites
;
and
I
very
well
believe
,
the
King
would
not
trust
us
in
our
Allegiance
any
whit
the
better
,
but
rather
the
worse
,
though
we
did
swear
,
and
fawn
and
flatter
with
him
,
contrary
to
our
Principles
;
neither
could
he
reasonably
judge
himself
the
safer
,
nor
more
happy
,
nor
that
we
would
be
truly
subject
the
more
to
his
Authority
,
if
we
swore
and
conformed
in
things
by
Force
,
contrary
to
our
Consciences
and
Principles
;
for
himself
knoweth
,
that
Oaths
and
Engagements
,
made
and
taken
by
Force
,
and
for
Fear
in
Straits
,
are
seldom
or
never
truly
performed
,
but
alwayes
broken
.
And
of
the
like
Case
there
are
large
Testimonies
in
the
Kingdom
,
of
many
that
have
sworn
,
promised
,
and
engaged
,
and
sometimes
by
Force
and
Fear
,
to
this
kind
of
Government
and
another
;
and
yet
at
Oportunities
,
and
for
their
own
Self-ends
,
have
broken
all
Oaths
and
Engagements
,
and
Rebelled
against
the
very
Persons
and
Authorities
to
which
they
have
sworn
and
engaged
Fidelity
and
Allegiance
;
so
that
many
are
not
the
more
to
be
trusted
,
though
they
swear
Allegiance
:
For
the
Proverb
saith
,
He
that
will
Swear
,
will
L●e
;
and
he
that
is
forced
to
swear
against
his
Conscience
,
will
hardly
perform
his
Oath
.
And
we
are
no
less
to
be
trusted
,
though
we
Swear
not
;
for
we
never
yet
engaged
our selves
by
Oath
to
any
Governours
or
Government
,
and
yet
we
never
Rebelled
,
or
Plotted
against
any
;
but
have
lived
Peaceably
,
and
in
a
Patient
Suffering
Condition
under
all
that
have
sitten
on
the
Throne
since
we
were
a
People
.
And
therefore
our
living
Peaceably
under
the
King's
Government
cannot
justly
be
doubted
of
,
though
we
cannot
engage
the
same
by
swearing
.
But
yet
,
if
we
do
not
live
quietly
,
and
in
good
Obedience
,
as
Peaceable
People
;
but
do
Rebel
,
Plot
,
&c.
then
we
refuse
not
to
suffer
the
Pains
,
Penalties
and
Forfeitures
as
such
that
swear
,
and
do
not
perform
their
Oaths
:
I
say
,
If
we
do
not
live
Peaceably
,
but
Plot
and
Rebel
against
the
King
and
his
Government
;
then
let
us
suffer
the
same
in
every
particular
,
as
if
we
had
sworn
,
and
not
performed
our
Oath
.
5.
All
these
things
rightly
considered
,
it
doth
fully
appear
,
1.
That
we
are
not
Enemies
neither
in
present
Action
,
nor
future
Intent
,
to
the
King's
Person
or
Authority
:
2.
Nor
that
we
refuse
to
acknowledge
Just
Authority
to
King
Charles
the
Second
,
as
supream
Magistrate
over
these
Kingdoms
:
3.
Nor
doth
it
appear
,
that
we
are
otherwise
than
Peaceable
and
Quiet
People
under
the
King's
Government
:
4.
Nor
is
it
manifest
,
but
that
we
are
ready
to
acknowledge
so
to
continue
,
in
all
Good
Conscience
and
Righteousness
.
And
therefore
we
do
appeal
to
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
to
King
Charles
,
and
to
all
people
whatsoever
,
That
our
present
Sufferings
by
Imprisonment
,
and
whatsoever
else
,
we
may
suffer
in
this
Case
,
for
refusing
to
take
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
it
is
not
for
Plotting
against
the
King
,
nor
for
refusing
to
acknowledge
Just
Authority
to
the
King
,
nor
for
denying
just
Obedience
to
him
and
the
good
Laws
of
the
Land
,
nor
for
denying
to
live
peaceably
in
the
Kingdom
under
the
King's
Authority
;
because
,
to
all
this
we
acknowledge
solemnly
in
Yea
and
Nay
:
Neither
are
our
Sufferings
in
this
Case
for
any
Evil-doing
,
towards
God
or
Men
;
but
our
Sufferings
are
for
keeping
the
Command
of
Christ
,
which
to
us
is
Matter
of
Conscience
to
perform
,
more
than
to
save
our
own
Lives
and
Estates
;
and
our
Sufferings
are
,
because
we
cannot
Swear
at
all
,
and
not
because
we
are
Rebellious
,
or
that
we
deny
just
Allegiance
to
the
King
;
and
such
our
Sufferings
are
not
as
Evil-doers
,
nor
Justly
and
Righteously
as
Offenders
,
because
we
are
not
guilty
of
Evil
in
this
Case
,
towards
God
nor
Man
;
and
our
Sufferings
are
Cruel
Persecution
for
our
Tender
Conscience
sake
,
and
for
the
Name
of
Christ
Jesus
.
And
we
call
God
and
just
Men
to
witness
between
us
and
our
Prosecutors
,
that
as
Saints
and
Servants
of
God
we
suffer
in
this
Case
,
and
for
our
Faithfulness
and
Obedience
to
the
King
of
Heaven
,
and
not
for
Evil-doing
or
Disobedience
to
King
Charles
,
and
his
Authority
.
And
if
any
be
persecuted
on
this
Case
,
for
Refusing
to
take
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
to
the
Ruin
of
Persons
,
Wives
,
and
Families
in
this
World
;
then
we
shall
have
Cause
to
say
,
Occasion
is
Wrongfully
taken
against
us
,
to
destroy
us
;
and
we
are
proceeded
against
contrary
to
the
End
of
Just
Government
,
which
is
,
To
preserve
the
Peaceable
,
and
not
to
destroy
them
:
and
contrary
to
the
KING
's
former
Promises
,
who
hath
said
,
We
should
not
suffer
for
Matters
of
our
Religion
and
Conscience
,
living
Peaceably
in
the
Land
.
And
if
we
suffer
because
we
cannot
Swear
at
all
,
such
our
suffering
is
for
our
Conscience
sake
,
and
we
are
therein
Persecuted
Unrighteously
,
as
Innocent
People
,
and
without
just
Cause
:
And
we
must
commit
this
our
Cause
to
God
,
who
regardeth
the
Oppressions
of
his
People
,
and
will
avenge
their
Cause
in
his
season
.
And
for
the
present
this
is
all
I
have
to
say
,
and
present
,
concerning
this
Case
of
Swearing
,
and
concerning
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
.
CHAP.
II.
The
Case
Stated
and
Pleaded
concerning
our
Meeting
together
to
Worship
God
.
1.
WE
do
Meet
together
in
the
Name
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
in
his
Power
and
Spirit
;
and
we
do
come
together
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
to
wait
upon
him
,
and
to
receive
the
Teachings
of
his
Holy
Spirit
,
and
his
Council
to
direct
us
in
all
our
Wayes
,
how
to
walk
Righteously
towards
God
and
Men
:
and
in
our
Meetings
we
practice
our
Hearts
and
Minds
in
Godliness
,
and
speak
of
the
Things
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
in
Preaching
the
Word
of
God
,
and
in
Prayer
to
Him
,
according
as
his
Holy
Spirit
guideth
us
,
which
is
given
us
of
God
,
to
lead
us
into
all
Truth
,
according
to
his
Promise
,
Iohn
16.
13.
and
that
we
may
edifie
one
another
in
the
Wayes
of
Holiness
and
Truth
,
for
the
benefit
of
our
souls
;
and
this
is
according
to
the
Scriptures
;
For
they
that
feared
the
Lord
met
often
together
,
and
spake
one
to
another
,
and
edified
one
another
:
And
this
is
our
Principle
,
That
it
is
our
Duty
to
God-wards
to
meet
together
,
and
that
he
requires
it
of
us
,
and
for
the
exercise
of
our
Consciences
to
him
it
hath
been
alwayes
and
is
our
Practice
to
meet
together
in
the
Exercise
of
the
worship
of
God
,
as
aforesaid
;
and
not
for
any
other
End
,
as
in
Contempt
of
Authority
,
or
to
Plot
or
Contrive
,
or
to
Meditate
Evil
against
the
King
or
his
Government
,
or
any
of
his
Subjects
;
we
have
no
such
end
(
I
say
)
in
meeting
together
:
But
our
alone
,
only
and
absolute
End
in
our
Meeting
,
is
to
worship
the
Lord
our
God
,
and
to
serve
him
,
and
to
wait
upon
him
in
obedience
to
his
Will
,
and
for
good
Conscience
sake
as
our
Duty
towards
him
.
2.
And
this
our
Practice
of
Meeting
together
,
for
the
End
and
Cause
mentioned
,
if
it
be
in
publick
Houses
,
or
more
private
in
Upper
Chambers
,
or
in
the
open
Fields
on
what
day
soever
,
is
Lawful
and
Just
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
is
according
to
the
Example
of
the
Primitive
Saints
,
and
provable
by
the
Scriptures
,
as
in
Acts
1.
13
,
14.
And
when
the
Disciples
and
Saints
returned
from
Jerusalem
,
they
went
up
into
an
upper
Chamber
,
both
Men
and
Women
,
and
Waited
upon
the
Lord
,
and
continued
with
one
accord
in
Prayer
and
in
Supplication
.
And
in
Acts
20.
7.
8.
The
first
day
of
the
●…k
the
Saints
met
together
,
and
Paul
preached
unto
them
,
and
continued
his
Sermon
till
Midnight
;
holding
forth
the
Matters
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
And
they
were
met
in
an
upper
Chamber
,
from
whence
Eutychus
fell
down
.
And
Acts
28.
30
,
31.
And
Paul
remained
two
full
Years
,
preaching
the
Gospel
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
in
his
own
hired
House
in
Rome
;
and
he
exhorted
the
Saints
,
Not
to
neglect
meeting
together
,
as
the
manner
of
some
was
,
whom
he
reproved
,
Heb.
10.
25.
By
which
Testimonies
,
with
divers
others
that
might
be
given
,
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
Saints
of
God
in
former
Ages
did
meet
together
to
worship
God
,
and
to
wait
upon
him
in
Prayer
and
Preaching
,
as
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
taught
them
,
that
dwelt
in
them
:
And
sometime
they
met
publickly
,
and
sometime
more
private
,
and
sometime
on
the
day
time
,
and
some
in
the
night
season
(
and
they
met
separate
from
the
Synagogues
,
and
wayes
of
publick
Worship
among
the
Iews
)
according
to
the
Will
of
God
,
and
as
it
was
ordered
amongst
them
.
And
thus
it
is
manifest
,
That
our
Meeting
for
the
Worship
of
GOD
at
this
Day
(
though
they
are
separate
from
the
Way
of
Publick
Worship
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
are
in
more
private
Houses
)
are
justifiable
,
being
after
the
Example
of
the
Saints
,
and
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
;
and
therefore
our
Meetings
are
according
to
the
LAW
of
GOD
Just
and
Lawful
.
3.
And
forasmuch
as
by
Reason
of
the
late
Insurrection
of
some
few
Persons
in
London
,
our
Lawful
Assembling
of
our selves
together
in
the
Worship
of
God
is
under
present
Restraint
and
Prohibition
,
and
by
Proclamation
forbidden
,
under
the
Denomination
of
Seditious
and
Unlawful
Meetings
,
and
our
Friends
Imprisoned
and
persecuted
for
that
Cause
,
of
Assembling
themselves
to
wait
upon
God
.
Now
in
this
Case
,
this
I
plead
unto
the
King
,
That
we
are
no
manner
of
way
guilty
of
that
Insurrection
,
upon
which
the
Proclamation
of
forbidding
our
Meetings
was
grounded
;
and
therefore
ought
not
to
suffer
with
the
guilty
,
being
Innocent
from
the
very
Occasion
of
that
Proclamation
:
And
for
the
King
to
prohibit
our
Meetings
,
for
and
because
of
the
ill
Use
that
others
made
of
theirs
,
this
seems
a
Condemning
of
the
Innocent
with
the
Guilty
,
which
is
no
way
just
in
the
sight
of
God
nor
men
,
but
altogether
unequal
that
we
should
suffer
for
other
mens
Fault
;
though
such
did
abuse
their
Liberty
,
and
pervert
the
End
of
their
Meetings
into
rising
up
with
Carnal
Weapons
against
the
King
;
so
did
not
we
,
neither
in
Intent
nor
Action
;
and
therefore
our
Meetings
ought
not
to
be
prohibited
for
the
Cause
of
other
mens
Faults
and
Miscarriages
in
that
Case
.
And
also
,
We
have
the
King's
Promise
divers
times
,
That
we
should
not
suffer
for
our
Religion
,
while
we
acted
nothing
against
the
Peace
of
the
Kingdom
and
Government
;
which
yet
we
never
have
done
,
nor
made
any
ill
use
of
our
Meetings
,
nor
of
the
King's
Promises
,
nor
forfeited
them
,
and
therefore
,
according
to
his
own
Promises
,
we
ought
to
have
our
Meetings
,
and
enjoy
them
without
Restraint
,
because
we
have
not
forfeited
the
benefit
of
his
former
Promises
in
that
behalf
,
nor
ever
made
use
of
our
Meetings
to
Plot
or
Conspire
against
the
Government
,
to
its
Harm
or
Detriment
;
and
because
of
our
Innocency
herein
,
the
Benefit
of
his
former
Promises
are
yet
in
force
unto
us
,
to
protect
our
lawful
Meetings
,
and
not
to
prohibit
them
:
And
though
upon
Suspition
only
our
Meetings
have
been
Restrained
,
and
our
Friends
Imprisoned
by
the
late
Proclamation
;
yet
we
being
proved
Innocent
,
and
without
Guilt
of
that
which
occasioned
it
,
the
KING
and
Council
may
and
ought
in
Justice
and
good
Reason
,
to
Reverse
and
Revoke
that
part
of
the
Proclamation
related
to
us
,
as
being
Innocent
,
that
we
may
enjoy
our
lawful
Meetings
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
and
Example
of
Saints
,
and
according
to
the
King
's
own
former
Promises
.
4.
All
these
things
considered
,
and
rightly
understood
by
the
King
and
his
Council
,
it
will
appear
unto
them
in
good
Reason
,
1.
That
our
Meetings
are
just
and
lawful
in
themselves
,
because
they
are
for
the
Worship
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
to
wait
upon
him
:
2.
They
are
according
to
the
Example
of
the
Apostles
,
because
the
Scriptures
prove
the
like
Meetings
:
3.
And
they
are
not
contrary
to
his
own
Promises
and
Tolleration
,
that
he
gave
for
Six
Moneths
after
his
coming
in
,
because
he
said
,
We
should
not
suffer
for
our
Religion
,
if
we
lived
Peaceably
;
and
we
were
not
disturbed
by
Authority
from
him
(
that
we
know
of
)
in
our
Meetings
,
till
this
Occasion
:
4.
It
will
appear
,
That
we
ought
in
Justice
&
Equity
to
have
our
lawful
Meetings
Protected
and
Preserved
by
the
King's
Authority
,
and
not
prohibited
;
because
we
are
not
guilty
of
that
which
occasioned
this
present
Restraint
:
but
what
we
have
suffered
in
this
Case
,
it
hath
been
upon
Suspition
,
and
without
any
just
Cause
on
our
part
.
And
for
these
Ends
and
Causes
I
plead
on
the
behalf
of
the
Innocent
,
that
we
may
enjoy
peaceably
our
Meetings
for
the
Exercise
of
God's
Worship
,
and
not
be
prohibited
in
the
King's
Dominions
under
his
Authority
.
5.
But
and
if
we
are
persecuted
,
and
imprisoned
,
and
made
to
suffer
for
this
Cause
of
Meeting
together
to
Worship
God
,
and
Wait
upon
him
,
in
Conscience
and
Duty
towards
him
,
and
for
following
the
Scriptures
Example
,
as
the
Saints
of
old
,
as
afore-mentioned
;
we
must
only
commit
our
Cause
to
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
in
Patience
suffer
under
whatsoever
is
unequally
inflicted
upon
us
for
this
matter
,
if
men
shew
the
height
of
Oppression
towards
us
;
and
we
must
put
on
the
Spirit
of
Long-suffering
and
Forbearance
,
and
leave
Vengeance
to
the
Lord
,
who
will
in
his
season
redress
our
Cause
,
if
that
we
are
Persecuted
for
meeting
together
,
and
for
Worshipping
of
the
Lord
,
according
as
his
Spirit
perswades
our
Consciences
;
and
such
our
Sufferings
are
not
for
Evil-doing
,
nor
as
Transgressors
against
God
nor
the
King
;
but
as
Servants
of
God
we
suffer
,
and
for
holding
the
Testimony
of
JESUS
and
a
Good
Conscience
.
And
thus
I
have
brought
the
state
of
our
Case
,
as
concerning
our
Meetings
,
unto
the
Kings
Knowledge
,
and
must
leave
it
to
his
serious
View
;
and
Happy
will
he
be
if
he
hath
regard
to
the
Afflicted
;
but
if
he
stop
his
Ear
from
the
Cry
of
the
Poor
,
and
suffer
them
to
be
destroy'd
,
who
shall
plead
for
him
,
or
excuse
him
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
when
He
comes
to
Iudgment
,
to
reward
every
man
according
to
his
Deeds
.
CHAP.
III.
The
Case
Stated
and
Pleaded
concerning
Tythes
,
as
paid
among
the
Jews
,
and
also
among
the
Christians
;
and
the
Cause
why
we
Refuse
to
pay
them
at
this
day
.
1.
WE
do
acknowledge
,
That
Tythes
,
as
instituted
,
given
,
and
received
in
the
Law
of
Moses
,
amongst
the
Iews
,
and
according
to
the
Commandment
of
God
,
were
of
Heavenly
Ordination
,
and
were
for
that
Holy
Use
and
End
of
maintaining
the
Levitical
Priesthood
,
and
the
Poor
,
the
Widdows
,
and
the
Strangers
in
Israel
;
and
we
know
,
that
whilst
that
Levitical
Priesthood
of
Signs
,
and
Types
and
Figures
,
was
yet
unfinished
and
unfulfilled
by
Christ
Jesus
the
Everlasting
Priest
,
that
Law
that
gave
and
received
Tythes
was
in
force
;
and
it
was
sinful
against
God
,
and
contrary
to
his
Law
,
in
any
of
Israel
to
with-hold
their
Tythes
,
and
not
to
pay
them
,
and
such
as
did
robbed
God
and
the
Poor
,
and
the
Prophet
complained
against
them
;
for
then
the
Ordination
of
Tythes
was
of
God
,
and
the
Practice
and
End
of
them
was
good
and
blessed
.
But
that
Law
and
Priesthood
,
that
gave
and
received
them
,
is
finished
and
ended
,
with
all
the
Types
and
Shadows
of
the
first
Covenant
,
Heb.
7.
12.
and
Christ
Jesus
the
everlasting
Priest
of
God
is
come
,
in
whom
is
ended
the
first
Priesthood
that
took
Tythes
,
and
that
Law
that
gave
them
;
and
he
hath
put
an
end
to
Tythes
,
Temples
,
Priests-Office
under
the
Law
among
the
Iews
,
and
all
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Types
and
Figures
,
and
First
Covenant
,
and
is
an
High-Priest
forever
,
and
the
Everlasting
Substance
of
all
Shadows
pertaining
to
the
first
Covenant
,
and
hath
finished
them
,
and
ended
them
,
even
that
Law
and
Ordinance
that
gave
and
received
Tythes
,
and
that
Priesthood
to
whom
Tythes
pertained
;
so
that
though
it
was
Unlawful
in
the
first
Covenant
,
to
with-hold
the
payment
of
Tythes
,
yet
that
Covenant
being
ended
,
and
that
Law
and
Priesthood
,
and
another
Covenant
and
Priesthood
established
,
to
whom
the
Law
of
God
allows
not
the
Tythes
of
mens
Estates
,
it
seems
now
to
be
unlawful
to
pay
,
receive
or
demand
Tythes
,
and
for
good
Conscience
sake
we
cannot
do
it
.
2.
We
cannot
now
pay
Tythes
,
according
to
the
first
Covenant
,
nor
uphold
any
part
of
the
first
Priesthood
,
that
stood
in
Types
and
Shadows
,
nor
submit
to
that
Law
,
by
any
Obedience
to
it
,
which
once
gave
and
received
Tythes
;
seeing
Jesus
Christ
is
come
in
the
Flesh
,
who
hath
ended
all
that
Covenant
,
with
every
thing
that
pertaineth
thereunto
:
and
we
believe
in
Jesus
Christ
as
the
Everlasting
Substance
,
and
receive
the
Law
,
by
which
we
walk
in
all
things
unto
him
,
and
not
from
Abraham
nor
Moses
:
For
he
is
with
us
that
is
greater
then
they
,
whose
Law
and
Example
we
must
follow
in
the
Administration
of
the
Gospel
,
and
not
the
Law
and
Example
of
Abraham
and
Moses
in
the
First
Covenant
,
who
did
but
Prophesie
of
Christ
,
and
did
not
witness
him
fully
come
,
but
dyed
in
the
Faith
.
Now
if
we
should
pay
Tythes
according
to
the
First
Covenant
and
so
uphold
any
part
of
that
Priesthood
,
which
took
Tythes
,
which
was
but
a
Type
of
Christ
the
Everlasting
PRIEST
then
we
should
deny
Jesus
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
,
and
turn
back
again
to
the
Law
,
and
to
the
Iews
Ordinances
,
and
prove
our selves
Unbelievers
and
Antichristian
;
for
he
that
denies
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
is
an
Antichrist
,

and
we
may
as
well
turn
back
to
Circumcision
,
Sacrifices
,
and
Burnt-Offerings
,
as
to
pay
Tythes
,
being
all
pertaining
to
the
First
Covenant
and
Priesthood
;
which
whomsoever
doth
uphold
,
denieth
Jesus
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
Flesh
,
and
so
are
of
Antichrist
:
But
we
believe
,
Christ
is
come
,
and
we
have
received
him
as
the
End
and
Finishing
of
the
first
Priesthood
;
and
we
believe
in
him
as
the
Everlasting
Substance
,
who
hath
put
an
end
to
Tythes
,
Temples
,
Burnt-Offerings
,
&c.
and
we
confess
unto
him
as
our
Judge
and
Law-giver
,
and
have
renounced
all
Shaddows
pertaining
to
the
first
Covenant
,
whereof
one
was
Tythes
;
and
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
that
we
may
continue
in
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
the
Substance
,
and
not
deny
him
;
therefore
it
is
that
we
refuse
and
cannot
pay
Tythes
;
for
,
we
are
Christians
;
and
Believers
,
and
not
Iews
,
nor
Children
of
the
first
Covenant
.
3.
And
there
is
no
Example
by
any
of
the
Apostles
or
Saints
,
in
all
the
New
Testament
,
That
ever
any
of
the
Christians
,
that
believed
in
Jesus
Christ
,
gave
,
paid
,
or
receiv'd
Tythes
:
I
say
,
There
is
no
Example
at
all
,
by
either
Precept
or
Practice
,
le●t
us
on
Record
,
That
any
of
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
did
pay
or
receive
Tythes
for
any
Ministerial
Office
,
nor
otherwise
.
But
we
do
●●●●●ve
,
That
none
of
the
Christians
,
in
the
first
nor
second
Age
after
Christ
,
since
his
Resurrection
,
did
institute
,
pay
or
receive
Tythes
as
Maintenance
of
Gospel-Ministry
:
But
we
believe
,
That
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
whom
he
sent
forth
to
preach
the
Gospel
after
his
Ascention
,
did
bear
witness
to
the
New
Covenant
,
and
to
Jesus
Christ
the
Substance
;
and
against
Temple
,
Sacrifices
,
Tythes
and
first
Priesthood
,
and
the
Worship
of
the
first
Covenant
;
and
said
,
That
Covenant
was
fa●lty
,
and
none
could
attain
Perfection
,
as
pertaining
to
the
Conscience
,
in
it
;
and
therefore
God
took
that
Covenant
away
,
that
he
might
establish
a
better
,

And
also
,
Divers
of
the
holy
Martyrs
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
as
William
Thor●s
,
and
others
,
Did
preach
down
Tythes
,
and
denyed
the
Payment
of
them
;
and
for
Conscience
sake
to
God
could
neither
give
nor
receive
Tythes
,
but
fully
witnessed
against
them
,
though
they
suffered
for
it
in
their
dayes
.
So
that
,
1st
,
We
have
no
Example
from
the
Apostles
nor
Christians
in
their
dayes
,
to
pay
Tythes
,
but
rather
the
contrary
;
for
we
have
Testimony
from
them
,
That
the
first
●ovenant
and
Priesthood
,
with
all
Shaddows
and
Ordinances
thereunto
belonging
(
whereof
Tythes
was
one
)
were
disanulled
,
finished
and
ended
by
the
coming
of
Christ
;
and
a
new
Covenant
established
,
in
which
nothing
is
signified
of
paying
T●…s
:
From
whence
it
may
appear
to
all
,
that
Tythes
are
ended
,
and
not
to
be
paid
in
the
New
Covenant
.
2d
,
We
have
clear
Example
from
the
Martyrs
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
not
to
pa●
T●thes
;
for
divers
of
the
Protestant
Martyrs
(
call'd
,
the
Fathers
of
their
Church
)
did
〈◊〉
against
Tythes
,
and
refused
to
pay
any
.
3d
,
We
believe
in
our
own
Consciences
,
That
Tythes
,
as
receiv'd
and
paid
in
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
are
not
of
any
Institution
of
God
,
nor
exercised
to
any
good
Use
and
End
;
〈◊〉
●●●t
they
are
of
Antichrist
,
and
Oppression
,
and
Unjust
Exactions
,
and
Impositions
upon
the
poor
People
of
these
Kingdoms
;
and
therefore
we
do
refuse
to
pay
Tythes
,
and
we
cannot
for
good
Conscience
sake
:
And
the
Exercise
of
our
Consciences
herein
,
in
denying
to
pay
Tythes
,
is
well
and
lawfully
grounded
upon
the
Coming
of
Christ
,
and
upon
the
Example
of
the
Apostles
and
Martyrs
.
And
thus
in
brief
I
have
shewed
concerning
Tythes
,
and
why
we
refuse
to
pay
them
,
and
the
matter
of
our
Consciences
in
that
Case
.
4.
As
for
Tythes
,
as
now
demanded
,
paid
and
received
in
these
Kingdoms
,
we
know
they
are
not
of
heavenly
Institution
,
nor
for
a
good
use
and
end
ordained
and
practised
,
but
as
they
are
now
paid
,
both
in
these
Kingdoms
,
and
through
Christendom
,
they
are
of
Popish
Institution
,
and
were
first
ordained
,
paid
,
and
received
by
the
Authority
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
were
unequally
imposed
upon
the
Nations
through
her
Authority
,
for
the
use
and
end
to
maintain
her
Priests
,
and
Clergy
,
and
Church
;
and
the
Institution
and
payment
of
Tythes
among
Christians
,
was
not
till
near
400.
Years
after
Christ
,
as
Hystorians
say
;
and
for
divers
Ages
after
that
,
there
were
no
Laws
enjoyning
and
forcing
the
payment
of
them
,
not
till
about
the
Year
,
786.
that
Pope
Adrian
the
first
,
sent
two
Legates
into
England
,
to
make
a
Decree
,
that
the
People
of
two
Kingdoms
(
to
wit
)
Merce-land
and
Northumberland
,
should
pay
Tythes
.
By
these
and
other
Testimonies
it
is
manifest
,
that
the
payment
of
Tythes
amongst
Christians
,
had
their
first
Original
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
by
Succession
from
thence
,
and
not
from
the
Apostles
,
are
Tythes
paid
,
given
and
received
at
this
day
in
these
Kingdoms
;
and
the
Institution
,
payment
,
and
use
,
and
end
of
them
,
is
not
according
to
the
Law
of
Moses
at
all
:
for
Tythes
,
as
then
amongst
the
Iews
ordained
and
paid
,
were
for
the
happy
use
,
to
feed
the
Poor
,
the
Widdows
and
the
Fatherless
in
Israel
,
that
there
should
not
be
a
Beggar
amongst
them
:
But
the
use
and
end
of
the
payment
of
them
now
in
these
dayes
,
is
for
the
maintaining
a
company
of
Priests
,
in
their
Pride
and
Fulness
,
and
the
Poor
and
the
Strangers
may
starve
,
and
lie
begging
up
and
down
at
the
corners
of
the
Streets
;
so
that
we
cannot
for
Conscience
sake
at
this
day
pay
Tythes
.
1.
Because
the
first
Institution
of
them
among
Christians
,
was
not
from
Heaven
,
nor
from
Christ
Iesus
,
nor
his
Apostles
,
but
from
the
Pope
and
Church
of
Rome
.
2.
Because
the
use
and
end
of
Tythes
is
not
according
to
God
,
nor
Righteousness
;
but
for
the
maintaining
the
Priests
in
Pride
and
Fulness
,
and
their
Families
;
and
in
the
mean
time
the
Poor
want
.
3.
Because
the
continued
payment
of
them
,
is
Exaction
and
Imposition
,
contrary
to
the
Gospel
of
Liberty
and
Peace
,
upon
the
Persons
,
Estates
,
and
Consciences
,
of
many
good
People
in
these
Kingdoms
.
5.
All
these
things
rightly
and
justly
considered
,
it
is
manifest
,
and
plainly
apparent
to
all
good
men
,
that
this
matter
of
denying
to
pay
Tythes
,
is
a
clear
case
of
Conscience
with
us
,
and
that
we
have
sufficient
ground
to
make
Conscience
hereof
,
and
for
good
Conscience
sake
we
may
justly
refuse
and
deny
to
pay
Tythes
;
and
the
exercise
of
our
Consciente
herein
is
bottomed
upon
a
right
Foundation
,
as
I
have
made
appear
;
and
it
is
not
for
Covetousness
to
our selves
,
nor
in
contempt
of
Authority
,
nor
in
wilfulness
to
wrong
any
man
of
his
just
Right
,
nor
for
any
other
evil
end
,
that
we
do
refuse
to
pay
Tythes
;
but
it
is
for
Conscience
sake
,
only
and
alone
for
that
end
,
that
we
may
keep
our
Consciences
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
,
by
our
Faithfulness
,
in
denying
of
what
we
are
convinced
of
to
be
evil
and
not
of
God
,
as
I
have
shewed
we
are
in
this
case
of
Tythes
;
and
we
dare
not
sin
against
God
by
disobedience
to
him
,
nor
uphold
the
payment
of
Tythes
in
these
Kingdoms
,
which
are
so
evil
,
both
in
their
Ordination
,
and
in
their
Use
and
End
,
as
paid
in
these
days
,
as
I
have
shewed
;
for
if
we
should
,
we
might
offend
his
Spirit
,
and
our
own
Consciences
,
and
bring
anguish
upon
our
Souls
,
and
be
guilty
of
denying
of
Christ
and
his
coming
,
and
of
making
void
the
New
Covenant
;
and
of
walking
contrary
to
the
Examples
of
the
Apostles
and
holy
Martyrs
,
and
of
upholding
Antichrist
and
his
Kingdom
:
These
,
with
many
other
Evils
,
we
run
our selves
into
,
if
we
should
pay
Tythes
in
these
days
,
and
after
the
Romish
Institution
;
and
therefore
it
is
for
Conscience
sake
that
we
do
refuse
to
pay
Tythes
:
And
whatsoever
we
do
suffer
because
thereof
,
it
is
Persecution
,
and
for
,
and
because
we
cannot
sin
against
our
God
:
and
it
is
not
for
Evil
doing
,
for
Rebellion
,
nor
for
Transgression
against
the
Law
of
God
,
nor
the
just
Laws
of
men
;
but
it
is
for
holding
the
Testimony
of
Iesus
and
a
good
Conscience
;
and
in
such
our
Sufferings
,
we
commit
our
Cause
to
the
God
of
Heaven
,
patiently
bearing
what
is
unequally
inflicted
upon
us
for
this
matter
,
and
our
Cause
is
Iust
and
Innocent
for
which
we
suffer
,
and
we
have
more
respect
to
keep
our
Faith
and
Conscience
towards
God
,
than
to
save
our
Estates
or
Liberties
;
for
could
we
transgress
against
God
,
and
pay
Tythes
,
we
might
preserve
our
Liberties
and
Estates
,
which
we
have
endangered
and
lost
often
,
because
we
could
not
;
which
may
shew
that
it
is
not
for
Covetousness
nor
self-ends
,
that
we
refuse
to
do
it
:
And
this
our
Case
about
Tythes
,
and
the
reason
why
we
cannot
pay
them
,
is
in
brief
stated
and
pleaded
,
before
the
King
and
his
Council
,
and
I
leave
it
to
their
Considerations
in
the
sight
of
God
,
only
to
warn
them
,
that
they
persecute
not
any
for
the
Cases
of
Conscience
,
neither
in
this
nor
in
any
other
thing
,
lest
the
Effect
of
it
be
sad
upon
them
in
a
day
when
God
visits
them
with
Judgments
.
CHAP.
IV.
The
Case
stated
and
pleaded
,
concerning
giving
Security
by
Bond
,
to
live
peaceably
,
or
to
answer
Cases
then
and
there
,
&c.
as
is
often
required
of
us
.
1.
FOrasmuch
as
we
are
often
demanded
,
to
give
Bond
of
one
or
two
hundred
Pounds
(
or
the
like
)
for
security
(
so
called
)
That
we
will
live
peaceably
;
or
,
that
we
will
appear
and
answer
such
Cases
objected
against
us
,
or
supposed
of
us
.
Now
we
cannot
give
such
kind
of
formal
Engagements
out
of
the
Council
of
God
,
to
be
or
do
,
or
appear
,
or
answer
,
that
,
or
the
other
Case
,
when
as
we
are
no
Transg●●ssors
in
the
things
objected
against
us
,
and
supposed
of
us
;
and
when
we
are
●…cted
by
prejudiced
minds
of
such
and
such
matters
,
of
which
we
are
no
〈◊〉
guilty
in
the
sight
of
God
nor
men
;
and
then
it
is
demanded
of
us
,
To
bind
our
selve●
,
to
find
Sureties
,
and
to
answer
this
and
the
other
Objection
and
Supp●…
,
only
falsly
supposed
and
suspected
against
us
,
by
men
that
seek
occasion
against
u●
This
Demand
we
cannot
fulfil
for
Conscience
sake
;
because
we
are
clear
,
and
not
g●ilty
of
such
Suspitions
;
nor
can
we
bind
our selves
(
out
of
the
Counsel
of
G●d
)
●●●n
Penalties
and
Forfeitures
,
to
appear
and
answer
such
and
such
groundless
Objections
;
for
if
we
should
in
that
manner
bind
and
engage
our selves
not
to
d●
〈◊〉
,
o●
answer
this
and
the
other
Objection
against
us
,
when
we
know
our selves
innocent
of
that
Accusation
to
which
we
are
to
answer
,
and
that
it
is
not
in
our
H●arts
to
do
the
thing
whereof
we
are
doubted
,
but
contrary
to
our
Faith
and
Principles
;
then
this
were
a
betraying
of
our
own
Innocency
in
that
behalf
,
and
a
rendring
of
us
guilty
to
all
men
,
when
as
we
are
clear
;
and
by
binding
our selves
,
as
afore-mentioned
,
we
should
be
reputed
,
Transgressors
:
For
Bonds
and
Engagements
by
Forfeitures
and
Sums
of
Money
,
are
for
the
Guilty
,
and
not
for
the
Innocent
;
and
we
may
not
betray
our
guiltless
Cause
,
and
bring
it
under
false
reputation
amongst
men
,
by
giving
such
binding
Engagements
.
And
Again
,
when
as
we
are
clear
of
any
such
Suspitions
as
are
made
against
us
,
if
we
should
bind
our selves
,
as
aforesaid
;
it
many
times
doth
appear
,
that
occasion
is
more
taken
against
us
,
in
answering
or
appearing
,
and
we
made
to
be
greater
Offenders
than
before
;
and
there
again
our
Innocency
is
betray'd
,
when
as
innocent
of
the
Fact
supposed
against
us
,
yet
made
Offenders
in
answering
,
through
Formalities
and
Tricks
in
the
course
of
Law
,
practised
at
the
time
of
Answering
;
and
therefore
we
do
in
good
Reason
and
Equity
,
deny
to
bind
our selves
in
that
manner
,
and
to
give
such
Security
(
so
called
)
lest
we
should
betray
our
own
Innocency
,
and
render
our
Cause
to
false
Reputations
in
that
behalf
;
and
lest
we
should
fall
into
a
Remedy
,
to
clear
us
of
false
Suspitions
,
worse
than
the
Suspitions
themselves
,
by
laying
our selves
liable
to
greater
Sufferings
in
answering
to
our
Accusations
,
falsly
objected
,
than
our
suffering
can
be
by
the
Accusations
themselves
;
and
evil-minded
men
do
often
take
greater
occasion
against
us
in
answering
false
Charges
and
groundless
Suspitions
laid
against
us
,
than
they
can
take
by
the
false
Charges
and
Suspitions
themselves
:
and
so
we
cannot
bind
our selves
,
as
aforesaid
,
to
fulfil
the
wills
of
men
,
and
thereby
expose
our selves
to
a
far
greater
Suffering
(
to
be
taken
in
it
)
for
to
escape
a
less
.
2.
But
as
for
living
peaceably
in
the
Land
,
and
being
subject
in
all
just
and
good
things
to
the
King
and
his
Government
;
and
not
to
plot
against
them
,
n●●
to
harm
any
Person
whatsoever
,
but
to
be
in
love
with
all
,
and
in
good
behaviour
towards
all
,
and
to
answer
to
any
thing
justly
required
of
us
:
This
is
our
Principle
to
do
,
and
hath
ever
been
our
Practice
,
and
we
are
bound
by
the
Law
of
God
to
perform
this
in
every
particular
;
and
we
can
fully
make
confession
hereof
,
and
testifie
it
in
Yea
and
Nay
,
according
to
the
New
Covenant
and
Christ's
Command
,
who
hath
said
,
Let
your
Yea
,
be
Yea
,
and
your
Nay
,
Nay
,
but
not
by
an
Oath
,
nor
binding
our selves
upon
such
Penalties
and
Forfeitures
in
Engagements
by
Sums
of
Money
,
out
of
the
Counsel
of
God
;
and
our
Yea
and
Nay
,
in
this
and
all
other
Cases
,
is
more
binding
to
us
,
than
all
the
Formal
Engagements
of
others
;
and
we
make
as
much
Conscience
to
perform
our
Yea
and
Nay
,
as
any
others
do
their
Oathes
,
or
Bonds
;
and
if
we
do
not
,
but
do
plot
and
rebel
,
and
be
of
evil
behaviour
towards
any
,
then
let
us
suffer
the
same
,
as
if
we
had
bound
our selves
in
Forfeitures
o●
great
Sums
of
Money
,
and
broken
such
our
Engagements
:
and
no
man
need
in
any
case
bind
himself
upon
such
Pains
and
Forfeitures
,
not
to
break
the
Laws
of
the
Land
;
when
as
the
Justice
of
the
Law
will
be
executed
upon
him
if
he
transgress
it
,
whether
he
bind
himself
,
or
not
before-hand
,
not
to
break
it
;
and
this
is
the
thing
we
alwayes
offer
:
Here
we
are
,
if
we
have
broken
any
Law
,
let
us
suffer
according
to
the
Law
;
and
if
at
any
time
we
are
found
guilty
of
transgressing
the
Law
,
let
us
then
suffer
accordingly
,
whether
Death
or
Bonds
;
we
crave
no
favour
,
but
the
Execution
of
just
Law
:
And
in
the
mean
time
,
being
we
are
clear
of
Rebellion
and
other
Transgressions
;
Who
shall
accuse
us
?
or
who
can
reasonably
require
such
or
such
Engagements
of
us
to
do
,
or
not
to
do
,
or
answer
so
,
or
so
;
seeing
we
must
in
Justice
suffer
the
Punishment
of
the
Law
when
we
transgress
it
;
which
we
must
do
,
if
we
are
at
any
time
guilty
,
whether
we
beforehand
bind
our selves
to
the
contrary
or
not
?
And
also
,
if
we
should
bind
our selves
,
by
the
Engagements
of
such
and
such
Sums
of
Money
,
to
live
quietly
and
not
to
rebel
:
yet
we
should
be
no
better
trusted
because
hereof
,
for
that
would
not
slay
the
Principle
of
Strife
and
War
in
us
,
but
rather
cause
us
to
murmer
because
of
our
Bondage
,
and
strive
for
Liberty
;
and
also
if
we
were
men
of
disposions
to
war
and
plot
,
&c.
it
cannot
be
supposed
by
reasonable
men
,
that
any
Engagement
by
any
Sum
of
Money
,
would
bind
us
from
it
,
upon
occasion
,
seeing
we
might
hope
in
such
attempts
to
save
our
Sums
of
Money
,
and
to
gain
far
more
advantage
,
or
else
we
hazarded
to
loose
all
;
and
to
gain
a
greater
advantage
(
if
we
were
men
of
strife
)
we
would
not
doubt
to
attempt
to
lose
a
less
,
and
we
being
not
men
of
strife
,
we
cannot
bind
our selves
as
aforesaid
,
in
this
or
any
case
;
neither
can
any
in
good
reason
desire
the
same
of
us
,
if
they
rightly
consider
the
case
.
3.
These
things
considered
,
it
is
fully
manifest
,
That
upon
good
Reason
and
a
clear
Conscience
,
we
do
refuse
and
deny
to
give
Bond
,
and
make
such
and
such
Engagements
by
Forfeitures
of
Sums
of
Money
;
it
is
I
say
,
In
good
Reason
and
Conscience
,
and
not
in
any
wilfulness
or
stubbornness
,
or
contempt
of
Authority
that
we
do
it
,
nor
as
though
we
were
guilty
in
such
matter
suspected
,
and
durst
not
answer
the
Law
;
but
we
do
it
to
keep
our
Innocency
clear
,
and
not
to
betray
it
into
real
cause
of
doubt
that
we
are
guilty
.
2.
That
we
may
not
lay
ourselves
liable
to
a
greater
Suffering
,
by
answering
false
Suspitions
and
Accusations
,
as
it
often
happeneth
in
the
Proceedings
in
course
of
Law
.
3.
That
we
may
not
come
under
men
of
evil
prejudiced
minds
,
that
seek
more
occasion
against
us
than
they
have
;
and
we
may
not
fulfil
their
wills
,
and
to
give
them
occasion
against
us
,
when
as
in
the
Accusations
they
have
justly
none
.
4.
That
we
may
not
expose
our selves
to
be
intrapped
and
ensnared
into
greater
Sufferings
,
to
avoid
a
less
.
5.
That
we
may
walk
in
the
Doctrine
and
Command
of
Christ
Iesus
,
who
hath
commanded
to
let
our
Yea
be
Yea
,
and
our
Nay
be
Nay
;
and
whatsoever
Oath
or
Engagement
(
out
of
the
Counsel
of
God
)
is
more
,
cometh
of
Evil
,
which
we
may
not
do
.
These
,
with
some
others
,
are
the
Reasons
and
Causes
why
we
cannot
for
Conscience
sake
bind
our selves
in
such
kind
of
Formal
Engagements
(
out
of
the
Will
of
God
)
to
do
,
or
not
to
do
;
to
answer
this
false
Suspition
or
the
other
;
but
we
do
deny
it
out
of
good
Reason
and
Conscience
.
And
also
there
is
no
Example
for
it
,
that
we
know
,
among
the
Saints
in
former
Ages
,
that
any
of
them
ever
bound
themselves
to
any
Kings
or
Rulers
in
any
such
kind
of
Engagements
,
neither
can
we
at
this
day
;
but
as
I
said
,
If
we
Transgress
the
Law
,
let
us
suffer
by
it
;
if
we
are
already
,
or
hereafter
be
found
guilty
,
we
desire
nothing
but
the
just
Execution
of
Iust
Laws
,
and
in
Patience
we
shall
bear
it
;
but
before-hand
we
may
not
bind
our selves
in
Formal
Engagements
out
of
the
Will
of
God
,
to
promise
upon
Forfeitures
and
Penalties
what
we
will
do
or
say
,
or
what
we
will
not
do
or
say
,
for
at
the
Will
and
Disposure
of
the
Almighty
we
are
,
in
all
Things
and
Cases
;
and
it
is
our
Principle
and
Belief
,
That
we
abiding
in
the
Fear
and
Counsel
of
God
,
can
be
no
●ther
than
Peaceable
,
Just
,
Righteous
and
Innocent
in
the
Land
;
So
that
whatsoever
we
may
do
or
suffer
for
this
Case
,
of
denying
to
give
Bond
,
or
Engage
our selves
so
and
so
,
as
aforesaid
,
it
is
for
Truth
's
sake
,
and
such
our
Sufferings
are
Persecution
and
Unequal
;
and
we
must
commit
our
Cause
to
God
,
who
will
plead
it
in
his
season
,
if
that
we
are
persecuted
for
the
Cause
of
groundless
Suspition
,
and
because
we
cannot
Engage
to
answer
causless
Objections
.
And
thus
I
have
sought
out
this
matter
,
and
laid
it
before
the
King
,
and
I
leave
it
to
him
to
consider
;
and
to
shew
Justice
,
Equity
,
Mercy
and
Long-suffering
,
and
in
so
doing
he
will
be
blessed
;
but
if
the
cortrary
be
brought
forth
,
the
Effect
thereof
will
be
more
miserable
.
CHAP.
V.
The
Case
stated
and
pleaded
,
concerning
Government
it self
;
and
particularly
of
this
present
Authority
,
and
our
Obedience
to
it
.
1.
WE
do
acknowledg
Government
,
and
Rule
,
and
Magistracy
to
be
an
Ordinance
of
God
,
ordained
and
instituted
of
him
,
to
be
exercised
among
the
Children
of
Men
,
For
to
be
a
Praise
and
a
Defence
to
all
that
do
well
,
and
to
be
a
Terror
and
Corrector
to
all
that
do
Evil.
And
we
believe
there
ought
to
be
Rule
and
Government
and
Authority
,
exercised
and
executed
,
in
every
Kingdom
,
Nation
,
City
and
Country
,
for
the
end
aforesaid
(
to
wit
)
That
Evil-doers
may
be
made
afraid
and
corrected
,
limitted
,
restrained
,
and
subdued
;
and
that
Sin
and
Transgression
may
be
suppressed
;
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
promoted
;
and
them
that
do
Well
,
praised
and
strengthened
:
And
this
is
the
very
end
of
outward
Government
of
Kings
,
Princes
,
or
other
,
amongst
Men
upon
the
Earth
,
even
that
the
outward
Man
may
be
kept
in
good
order
and
subjection
in
his
Conversation
in
the
World
,
and
may
be
limitted
and
restrained
from
all
wrong
doing
o●
speaking
against
his
Neighbours
Person
or
Estate
;
and
if
he
do
,
he
is
punishable
by
such
Iust
Authority
.
This
is
the
very
end
of
outward
Government
in
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
;
but
it
extends
not
over
the
Inward
Man
,
to
rule
,
govern
,
or
exercise
Authority
over
the
Consciences
of
any
in
spiritual
Matters
and
Cases
between
God
and
Man's
Conscience
;
This
Dominion
and
Authority
only
partains
to
the
Inward
Government
and
Rule
of
Jesus
Christ
by
his
Eternal
Spirit
,
but
not
to
any
Outward
Government
of
Kings
,
Princes
,
Parliaments
,
or
any
others
;
They
,
I
say
,
ought
only
to
exercise
Authority
over
the
Persons
and
Estates
of
People
in
all
just
and
lawful
Things
and
Matters
,
but
not
over
the
Consciences
of
any
in
the
exercise
of
Duty
towards
God
,
or
in
the
Cases
and
Matters
of
Worship
and
Religion
.
2.
The
Exercise
and
Execution
of
this
Iust
Government
over
the
outward
Man
,
as
afore
described
,
ought
to
be
committed
into
the
Hands
of
faithful
,
just
and
upright
men
,
such
as
fear
the
Lord
and
hate
Covetousness
,
and
every
evil
Way
,
in
all
Kingdoms
of
the
World
;
The
Execution
of
the
Government
in
all
just
Laws
,
ought
(
I
say
)
to
be
committed
to
such
men
,
and
not
to
Drunkards
,
Lyars
,
Covetous
or
Evil-minded
Persons
,
Ambitious
or
Vain
glorious
Persons
in
any
Nation
;
such
as
these
ought
not
to
be
entrusted
with
the
Execution
of
the
Government
,
and
the
good
Laws
of
any
Kingdom
;
for
such
will
not
be
a
Blessing
unto
the
Land
,
nor
unto
any
People
,
but
a
Curse
,
and
the
cause
of
provoking
God
to
Vengeance
and
Wrath
against
themselves
,
the
People
and
the
Government
,
if
such
men
,
whom
God
chooseth
not
,
be
chosen
to
make
Laws
and
execute
them
,
and
to
exercise
Governments
in
any
Kingdoms
of
this
World
;
But
Men
that
fear
God
,
and
delight
in
Iustice
,
Mercy
and
Truth
,
that
are
humble
and
meek
and
lowly
Persons
,
ought
to
be
called
to
the
place
of
Government
,
and
only
such
are
fit
to
exercise
Rule
and
Authority
,
and
to
make
and
execute
Laws
in
these
Kingdoms
,
and
in
all
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
;
and
such
would
be
a
Blessing
in
the
Earth
,
and
the
Governments
under
such
,
and
in
the
Execution
of
their
Hands
,
would
be
Blessed
and
Prosperous
;
and
all
good
Men
would
have
cause
to
rejoyce
therein
,
and
all
Evil-doers
and
Transgressors
would
be
limitted
and
made
afraid
,
if
so
be
the
Laws
be
Just
,
Holy
and
Righteous
,
and
according
to
Equity
and
the
Holy
Law
of
God
in
all
things
,
and
the
due
Execution
of
such
Laws
committed
to
Just
and
Righteous
and
Meek
Men
,
that
love
Judgment
,
Mercy
and
Truth
,
and
would
execute
them
in
the
Earth
;
Then
the
happy
and
blessed
Government
will
be
exalted
,
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
would
reign
as
Judge
on
the
Throne
;
and
in
this
shall
all
Nations
and
Kingdoms
be
prosperous
and
blessed
when
it
cometh
to
pass
.
3.
And
as
for
this
present
Authority
and
Government
now
in
being
,
under
the
Name
of
King
Charles
the
Second
,
we
do
believe
and
acknowledge
,
That
according
to
the
Purpose
and
Will
of
God
,
and
of
his
bringing
to
pass
,
this
present
Government
and
Authority
is
set
up
,
and
into
its
present
being
established
;
The
Lord
,
I
say
,
hath
suffered
it
to
be
effected
,
for
the
Cause
,
and
End
,
and
Time
,
and
Purpose
,
known
to
himself
,
and
not
to
mortal
man
:
And
thus
this
Government
and
Authority
is
of
God
,
being
brought
in
and
set
up
,
in
opposition
to
,
and
for
the
reproof
and
correction
of
such
as
went
before
,
who
had
neglected
Mercy
,
Truth
,
Judgment
and
Righteousness
in
the
Earth
,
till
it
was
time
for
the
Lord
to
cast
them
out
,
and
reprove
them
,
and
make
them
a
Desolation
before
their
Enemies
;
and
this
Authority
was
judged
of
the
Lord
fit
for
that
use
and
end
,
and
reserved
to
be
brought
in
,
as
a
Rod
of
God
in
his
Hand
,
to
correct
and
smite
many
People
;
And
it
is
right
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
that
this
Authority
should
have
this
time
and
season
to
be
exercised
in
these
Kingdoms
,
to
try
and
prove
,
both
it self
,
and
all
under
it
,
if
so
be
that
Truth
,
Justice
and
Righteousness
,
Mercy
and
Peace
,
may
be
brought
forth
it
these
Kingdoms
through
it
,
that
God
may
establish
it
for
long
continuance
;
and
it
is
now
a
trying
and
proving
,
to
make
it
self
happy
and
blessed
,
or
otherwise
to
bring
it self
into
contempt
and
dishonour
;
and
accordingly
as
Truth
,
Justice
,
Mercy
,
Judgment
and
Peace
is
brought
forth
by
it
,
or
the
contrary
brought
forth
by
it
,
so
must
the
Just
and
Equal
Effects
and
Reward
of
it
be
from
the
Hand
of
God
;
and
it
is
only
just
Judgment
,
Mercy
and
Truth
,
Righteousness
,
Relieving
the
Oppressed
,
and
the
doing
thereof
;
that
can
alone
make
the
Person
and
Government
of
the
King
Happy
,
Blessed
and
Honourable
in
this
World
,
and
hereafter
;
and
the
contrary
,
if
it
be
brought
forth
,
must
needs
bring
Confusion
,
Discontents
,
and
all
miserable
Judgments
;
and
to
say
no
more
of
it
,
this
is
my
present
Judgement
of
the
King
and
his
Authority
,
both
in
respect
of
their
coming
in
,
and
the
Cause
thereof
,
and
the
Fruits
and
Effects
that
must
follow
,
which
is
not
otherwise
Determined
of
God
,
but
according
to
Desert
and
Merit
,
of
walking
in
Truth
,
Justice
,
and
Righteousness
,
or
in
walking
otherwise
.
4.
Our
Obedience
to
this
Authority
,
must
be
according
,
as
before
declared
,
in
the
Plea
of
the
first
Case
concerning
Allegiance
(
to
wit
)
For
Conscience
sake
to
God
,
we
are
bound
by
his
Iust
Law
in
our
Hearts
to
yeild
Obedience
to
it
,
in
all
Matters
and
Cases
actively
or
passively
;
that
is
to
say
,
in
all
just
and
good
Commands
of
the
King
,
and
the
good
Laws
of
the
Land
,
relating
to
our
outward
Man
,
we
must
be
obedient
by
doing
,
and
not
withhold
our
Just
Obedience
;
but
in
the
Cases
of
Conscience
(
to
wit
)
in
the
Matters
of
Duty
to
God
,
and
of
Worship
,
Faith
and
Religion
towards
him
,
we
must
only
be
obedient
to
God
;
for
it
is
he
that
teacheth
and
requireth
Obedience
in
all
those
things
:
and
if
any
thing
be
commanded
of
us
by
the
present
Authority
,
which
is
not
according
to
Equity
,
Iustice
and
a
good
Conscience
towards
God
,
to
be
done
by
us
,
we
must
in
such
Cases
,
obey
God
only
,
and
deny
active
Obedience
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
patiently
suffer
what
is
inflicted
upon
us
for
such
our
Disobedience
to
Men
;
and
we
must
choose
Obedience
to
God
rather
than
man
,
though
we
suffer
because
thereof
:
And
this
is
our
Principle
,
and
hath
ever
been
our
Practice
,
to
obey
Authority
,
by
doing
,
or
suffering
,
not
disputing
whether
the
Authority
in
it self
be
absolute
of
God
,
or
not
;
yet
being
an
Authority
over
us
,
we
are
to
obey
it
,
either
by
doing
,
or
suffering
,
because
it
is
an
Authority
;
and
not
to
plot
,
rebel
,
or
rise
up
with
carnal
Weapons
against
it
:
and
thus
must
our
Obedience
be
to
the
King
and
his
Government
.
And
if
that
in
any
thing
of
the
Commands
of
the
King
,
we
cannot
be
obedient
for
Conscience
sake
,
in
the
Cases
of
Conscience
,
and
when
ought
is
required
different
or
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
;
we
have
Example
hereof
in
the
Scriptures
,
of
many
of
the
Servants
of
God
that
could
not
in
all
things
,
yield
Obedience
to
the
Laws
of
Nations
and
Commands
of
Kings
,
when
they
required
ought
to
be
obeyed
,
contrary
to
their
pure
Consciences
;
as
in
the
Case
of
the
three
Children
,
Dan.
3.
they
could
not
obey
the
Law
and
Command
of
the
King
,
though
it
was
absolute
,
but
refused
Obedience
,
and
suffered
for
it
;
and
Daniel
also
himself
disobeyed
the
King's
Law
and
Commands
,
Dan.
6.
and
the
Apostles
the
same
,
when
they
were
commanded
by
the
Authority
of
that
City
and
County
,
To
preach
no
more
in
the
Name
of
IESUS
,
Act.
4.
17
,
18.
They
did
not
obey
the
Command
of
the
Rulers
in
that
Case
,
but
went
on
and
preached
Iesus
,
in
disobedience
and
contrary
to
the
Command
of
the
Rulers
.
And
by
these
,
and
many
other
Examples
,
it
is
apparent
,
that
it
is
justifiable
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
that
it
was
practised
by
the
Servants
of
God
in
former
Ages
,
even
Disobedience
to
Kings
and
Authority
,
in
the
Matters
and
Cases
commanded
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
and
a
good
Conscience
;
and
their
Example
may
justifie
such
now
in
the
same
Practice
,
in
the
same
Case
,
if
they
walk
therein
by
the
same
Principle
.
5.
And
thus
it
is
manifest
,
That
if
we
at
any
time
be
found
not
in
full
obedience
by
doing
,
in
all
Cases
and
Things
,
to
the
Laws
and
Authority
of
this
Kingdom
;
it
is
not
out
of
contempt
unto
,
or
Rebellion
against
the
King's
Person
or
Government
;
it
is
not
I
say
,
on
that
account
,
but
for
good
Conscience
sake
,
and
because
we
must
obey
God
rather
than
man
,
when
and
where
their
Com
mands
stand
in
opposition
the
one
to
the
other
;
and
this
is
,
that
we
may
keep
our
Consciences
clear
in
the
sight
of
God
,
from
disobedience
against
him
,
which
is
our
care
and
endeavour
by
all
means
:
and
when
any
thing
is
required
of
us
to
be
done
,
which
we
cannot
do
with
a
clear
Conscience
in
the
sight
of
God
,
such
Commands
we
cannot
yield
Obedience
unto
;
and
yet
it
is
not
out
of
Wilfulness
,
Stubbornness
,
Contempt
,
or
Rebellion
against
the
Authority
;
but
it
is
for
this
End
and
Cause
,
that
we
may
not
sin
against
God
,
nor
against
our
own
Consciences
,
by
doing
any
thing
that
is
contrary
thereunto
,
lest
we
should
bring
the
Wrath
of
God
upon
our
own
Consciences
:
so
that
all
these
things
rightly
considered
,
it
doth
appear
.
1.
That
we
acknowledge
Magistracy
and
Authority
to
be
the
Ordinance
of
God
,
to
be
exercised
and
executed
in
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
among
men
.
2.
That
Iust
and
Righteous
men
,
are
the
only
Persons
fit
to
execute
Iust
Laws
and
Authorities
in
the
Earth
.
3.
That
we
acknowledge
this
present
Government
of
King
Charles
,
and
that
according
to
the
Purp●se
of
God
it
is
now
set
up
.
4.
That
we
are
to
be
obedient
by
doing
or
su●●eri●g
in
all
things
,
to
the
Authority
of
the
King
,
as
the
Supream
Authority
.
5.
That
if
in
any
case
we
are
disobedient
thereunto
,
and
cannot
wholly
perform
every
Command
,
by
doing
,
yet
it
is
for
Conscience
sake
to
God
,
and
that
we
may
not
sin
against
him
,
and
not
out
of
Rebellion
or
Contempt
of
the
King
or
his
Power
.
And
all
these
things
truly
considered
,
if
we
do
suffer
Tribulations
,
Afflictions
and
Imprisonments
,
under
and
by
this
present
Authority
,
for
and
because
of
our
Profession
and
Practice
of
Religion
,
without
evil
or
wrong
doing
to
our
Neighbours
Persons
or
Estates
,
though
we
do
not
in
the
things
contrary
to
our
Consciences
obey
actively
this
present
Authority
,
yet
we
are
persecuted
for
the
Name
of
Christ
;
and
as
so
,
we
receive
our
Sufferings
,
and
not
as
for
Contempt
or
Denial
of
Authority
,
or
as
Rebellion
against
it
;
but
for
Conscience
sake
to
God
our
Sufferings
are
,
and
our
unjust
Persecution
will
be
upon
our
Enemies
in
the
effect
and
reward
thereof
,
with
great
Indignation
and
Wrath
from
the
Lord
God
,
that
rewards
all
according
to
their
works
.
Thus
much
about
Government
.
And
now
I
shall
shew
what
Persecution
is
in
it self
.
CHAP.
VI.
Concerning
Persecution
;
what
it
is
in
it self
,
and
how
great
an
Enemy
it
is
to
the
King's
Person
and
Authority
.
1.
PErsecution
is
,
when
a
Person
,
or
a
People
,
do
suffer
Tribulation
,
Affliction
,
Imprisonment
,
Bonds
,
or
Death
,
whether
by
a
Law
or
without
the
Law
,
for
,
and
because
of
his
or
their
Principle
and
Practice
in
Religion
;
As
when
a
Person
or
a
People
are
reproached
,
falsly
accused
,
imprisoned
or
put
to
death
,
only
for
and
because
of
their
Religions
sake
;
when
as
no
evil-dealing
in
the
things
between
man
and
man
,
can
be
justly
charged
and
proved
against
them
,
but
only
because
they
are
righteous
,
and
walk
in
the
Wayes
of
the
Lord
,
and
cannot
conform
to
the
Wayes
and
Vanities
of
this
World
,
but
are
separated
from
it
in
its
Prophaneness
,
and
in
its
formal
Profession
also
of
Religion
;
and
because
thereof
Sufferings
are
imposed
upon
them
,
while
yet
they
walk
justly
,
innocently
and
harmlesly
towards
all
men
.
This
is
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
such
are
persecuted
,
if
so
be
they
suffer
for
and
because
of
Righteousness
sake
,
and
because
they
will
not
deny
their
Principles
nor
Profession
of
Rēligion
,
nor
conform
to
Times
nor
Laws
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
,
and
yet
suffer
because
hereof
;
this
is
Persecution
.
2.
Persecution
is
,
when
a
Person
or
a
People
is
afflicted
,
and
any
kind
of
sufferings
imposed
upon
them
,
whether
by
any
Authority
,
or
without
Authority
,
and
only
because
they
are
of
such
a
Profession
and
Practice
in
Religion
;
though
yet
their
Profession
and
Practice
in
their
Religion
is
not
perfectly
according
to
God
,
nor
by
the
Exercise
of
that
Spirit
of
God
ruling
in
their
Consciences
in
such
their
Religion
;
yet
if
they
suffer
only
for
their
Religion
sake
,
while
yet
they
walk
uprightly
as
men
,
in
all
outward
Affairs
relating
to
the
outward
Man
,
this
also
is
Persecution
.
and
such
are
persecuted
for
their
Religions
sake
,
though
not
wholy
for
Righteousness
sake
;
and
none
ought
to
suffer
as
such
under
the
Authority
of
any
King
,
Prince
or
Power
:
but
if
such
do
suffer
,
as
I
have
said
,
and
that
for
their
Religions
sake
,
only
so
,
though
yet
their
Religion
is
not
perfectly
according
to
God
,
yet
they
are
persecuted
,
and
this
is
Persecution
.
And
thus
I
have
in
short
described
&
defined
what
Persecution
is
in
it self
,
and
who
it
is
that
are
persecuted
;
and
I
shall
now
shew
how
great
an
Enemy
Persecution
for
Conscience
and
Religions
sake
is
unto
the
King's
Person
and
Authority
.
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
for
Difference
in
Matters
of
Religion
,
is
a
great
Enemy
to
the
Person
and
Government
of
the
King
;
it
is
,
I
say
,
a
destroying
and
devouring
Enemy
,
and
the
Fruits
and
Effects
thereof
may
work
terrible
Destruction
;
yea
,
this
Enemy
[
Persecution
]
hath
often
wrought
Overthrow
in
Kingdoms
:
Let
the
King
strive
to
be
delivered
speedily
from
this
great
Enemy
,
which
is
fierce
and
cruel
,
and
may
work
woful
Effects
in
this
Kingdom
also
;
and
the
King
may
be
more
blessed
in
his
Person
and
Government
if
he
remove
far
from
him
this
Enemy
,
Persecution
.
1.
It
is
his
Enemy
because
its
Effect
is
,
To
eat
out
the
Affections
of
many
good
and
sober
People
from
the
King
,
and
may
make
their
Love
and
Affections
dye
to
the
King's
Government
,
when
they
behold
and
consider
the
Persecution
of
many
good
and
peaceable
People
for
Righteousness
and
good
Conscience
sake
,
whenas
no
Evil-doing
between
man
and
man
can
justly
be
laid
to
their
Charge
,
but
only
for
the
matter
of
their
Religion
,
and
the
exercise
of
their
Consciences
towards
God
;
and
if
such
suffer
cruel
Imprisonment
,
unjust
Fines
and
grievous
Vexations
for
such
Cause
,
it
may
weaken
and
eat
out
the
Affections
of
good
People
,
and
divert
their
Love
and
good
Desires
from
the
King
and
his
Government
,
in
which
such
Persecution
is
brought
forth
:
and
that
which
diverts
the
Peoples
Love
from
the
King
is
his
great
Enemy
,
and
such
is
Persecution
.
2.
Persecution
is
the
King
's
great
Enemy
,
Because
it
may
kindle
Heart-burnings
,
Envyings
,
Strifes
and
Murmurings
among
his
Subjects
,
while
some
are
tollerated
in
the
Profession
and
Practice
of
their
Religion
,
and
others
persecuted
and
imprisoned
for
the
same
Cause
;
and
this
kind
of
dealing
exerciseth
the
King's
Subjects
in
harsh
dealing
one
towards
another
,
and
gives
great
Occasion
for
Quarrelling
,
Envies
,
Debate
and
Malice
one
against
another
;
even
when
some
execute
Persecution
upon
others
,
hailing
them
to
Prison
,
spoiling
their
Goods
,
and
the
like
:
And
this
kind
of
dealing
,
I
say
,
whilst
the
Authority
of
the
Land
persecutes
one
sort
of
the
King's
Subjects
by
the
hands
of
others
,
it
tendeth
much
to
great
Division
and
Distractions
amongst
the
people
;
and
it
is
not
for
the
King's
safety
,
but
for
his
great
Dishonour
and
Disadvantage
every
way
,
to
have
the
people
divided
into
Heart-burnings
and
Quarrellings
against
one
another
:
and
therefore
Persecution
is
the
King
's
great
Enemy
,
because
it
worketh
such
evil
Effects
.
3.
It
is
his
great
Enemy
,
Because
it
is
contrary
to
the
Trust
which
God
hath
reposed
in
him
,
in
promoting
him
to
be
King
over
these
People
;
for
God
hath
not
committed
Power
to
him
to
judge
in
the
Cases
of
mens
Consciences
,
and
to
persecute
any
because
of
the
Exercise
thereof
,
whether
they
be
of
this
Profession
and
Practicé
in
Religion
,
or
the
other
,
yet
living
peaceably
and
uprightly
as
men
,
he
ought
not
to
persecute
us
,
nor
to
suffer
them
to
be
persecuted
by
nor
under
his
Authority
;
but
he
ought
to
defend
and
preserve
all
mens
Persons
and
Estates
in
their
Just
Rights
,
from
the
Violence
each
of
others
,
without
respect
to
what
their
Profession
and
Practice
of
Religion
is
;
but
if
the
contrary
be
brought
forth
,
it
is
contrary
,
and
not
answerable
to
the
End
of
God's
Restauring
him
to
these
Kingdoms
;
and
if
he
doth
not
what
God
hath
justly
called
him
unto
,
but
otherwise
,
this
is
his
Enemy
;
and
such
is
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
,
it
is
contrary
to
the
End
of
Just
Government
,
and
wherefore
God
hath
restored
him
;
and
therefore
this
Persecution
is
an
utter
Enemy
both
to
the
King's
Person
and
Authority
.
4.
It
is
his
Enemy
,
Because
it
provokes
the
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
over
all
to
be
offended
with
him
;
for
he
is
provoked
and
vexed
because
of
the
Persecution
of
his
People
in
this
Age
,
as
ever
he
was
in
all
Ages
;
and
if
the
King
be
guilty
thereof
,
it
incurreth
God's
great
Displeasure
against
him
:
For
God
was
ever
offended
with
Kings
,
Rulers
,
and
whomsoever
,
that
were
Persecutors
,
and
he
is
the
same
at
this
day
;
and
whatsoever
it
is
that
provokes
God
to
Anger
against
the
King
,
that
is
his
Enemy
:
And
such
is
Persecution
of
People
for
the
Profession
and
Practice
of
their
Religion
,
whenas
no
Evil
can
be
charged
upon
them
in
things
between
man
and
man
;
and
therefore
let
the
KING
beware
of
this
Woful
ENEMY
that
waits
to
wound
him
;
for
if
the
God
of
Heaven
be
provoked
against
him
,
how
great
is
that
Enemy
which
brings
it
to
pass
.
5.
It
is
the
King's
Enemy
,
Because
it
not
only
provokes
the
Lord
to
Anger
,
but
to
Judgment
;
Persecution
is
the
Cause
wherefore
God
bringeth
grievous
Iudgments
and
Vengeance
upon
whomsoever
are
guilty
thereof
;
and
the
Effect
of
Persecution
is
Plagues
and
Misery
;
and
it
incenseth
God
to
Anger
,
and
also
to
Destroy
:
and
therefore
let
the
King
beware
of
such
a
deadly
Enemy
,
as
should
Cause
God
to
destroy
him
.
And
such
an
Enemy
is
Persecution
of
God's
People
for
Conscience
sake
,
it
draweth
down
the
Wrath
of
God
upon
Kings
and
Kingdoms
,
upon
Rich
and
Poor
,
upon
High
and
Low
,
that
are
guilty
of
it
;
for
it
is
the
fulfilling
of
all
other
Sins
,
and
it
hasteneth
to
bring
Destruction
upon
all
that
are
guilty
;
and
this
Effect
it
will
work
upon
the
King
,
even
this
his
Enemy
[
Persecution
]
if
he
turn
not
from
it
,
and
overcome
it
,
and
Banish
it
from
him
,
for
it
is
the
Cause
of
both
Inward
and
Outward
,
Internal
and
External
Plagues
and
Iudgments
of
God
.
6.
Persecution
,
it
is
an
Enemy
to
the
King
,
Because
it
will
work
to
weaken
the
Hands
of
Iust
,
and
Sober
,
and
Righteous
Men
;
it
will
weaken
their
Love
and
Affections
,
and
it
makes
their
Hearts
sad
;
And
Wo
is
unto
them
that
make
sad
their
Hearts
,
whom
God
doth
not
make
sad
;
and
this
doth
Persecution
:
And
it
doth
not
only
weaken
the
Hearts
and
Hands
of
the
Righteous
and
Sober
Persons
,
but
it
strengthens
the
Hands
of
the
Rude
,
Ungodly
and
Prophane
through
the
Land
;
and
that
which
strengthens
the
Wicked
and
the
Rude
Multitude
in
Wantonness
,
Scorning
and
Prophanness
,
that
is
the
King's
Enemy
;
but
such
is
Persecution
for
a
good
Conscience
sake
:
And
because
it
weakens
the
Righteous
in
their
Good
and
Upright
Wayes
,
and
strengthens
the
Wicked
in
their
Evil
Wayes
,
therefore
it
is
an
Enemy
unto
the
King
.
7.
Persecution
is
an
Enemy
unto
him
,
Because
it
tends
to
render
him
dishonourable
,
both
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
all
good
men
through
the
World
;
for
it
will
shew
,
that
he
is
cruel
,
and
bitter
and
perverse
,
and
that
he
wanteth
Humility
,
Meekness
,
Forbearance
and
Patience
,
if
he
be
guilty
;
and
this
is
dishonourable
,
to
have
and
profess
Evil
Qualities
and
Properties
,
and
to
be
without
the
Good
;
and
by
persecution
this
will
be
made
manifest
to
all
the
World
,
and
ever
was
in
all
Ages
,
that
the
Persecutors
of
good
Conscience
gained
unto
themselves
,
Dishonour
and
Reproach
of
all
good
men
in
all
Ages
after
them
;
for
they
were
men
full
of
Rage
,
and
Malice
,
and
Passionateness
,
and
wanted
Patience
and
Humility
,
and
this
made
them
Dishonourable
:
And
the
Case
will
be
the
same
with
the
King
,
if
he
be
a
Persecutor
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
he
will
be
Dishonourable
both
in
this
present
Time
,
and
in
Ages
to
come
,
and
this
by
Persecution
,
and
therefore
it
is
his
Enemy
,
that
will
work
many
Mischiefs
and
Evils
upon
him
,
if
he
be
not
wholy
delivered
from
it
.
8.
Persecution
is
an
Enemy
to
the
King's
Person
and
Authority
,
because
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
is
of
the
Devil
,
it
is
of
his
spirit
,
and
not
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
to
Persecute
,
Imprison
,
Kill
and
Destroy
mens
Persons
and
Estates
,
because
of
their
Religions
sake
,
whenas
no
unjust
Dealing
nor
Unrighteous
Conversation
can
be
justly
laid
to
their
charge
,
but
only
for
and
because
of
such
Profession
and
Practice
in
Religion
,
to
persecute
any
because
hereof
,
this
is
of
the
Devil
;
and
that
which
is
of
the
Devil
is
the
King's
Enemy
,
and
an
Enemy
to
all
Mankind
,
and
such
is
Persecution
;
and
therefore
it
is
a
deadly
mortal
Enemy
,
which
wounds
Kings
,
Princes
and
Rulers
,
that
ever
have
had
friendship
with
it
;
and
therefore
let
the
King
avoid
this
great
Enemy
,
lest
its
Effects
prove
miserable
.
9.
It
is
the
King's
Enemy
,
Because
it
is
according
to
the
Example
of
all
the
wicked
King's
and
Rulers
that
ever
have
been
through
Ages
and
Generations
;
as
of
Pharaoh
,
Ahab
,
Herod
,
Nero
,
and
many
more
,
who
were
Persecutors
of
People
for
Conscience
sake
,
who
gained
unto
themselves
thereby
Reproach
,
Infamy
and
Misery
from
God
and
men
;
and
to
follow
their
Example
is
the
King's
Enemy
,
and
such
is
Persecution
:
If
he
should
persecute
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
about
Religion
,
and
the
Worship
of
God
,
then
he
follows
the
Example
of
wicked
Kings
,
and
this
will
be
his
Enemy
,
and
will
work
woful
effects
,
if
so
be
he
walk
in
the
steps
of
the
Persecutors
of
old
,
&
love
that
which
is
his
Enemy
.
10.
Persecution
is
the
King's
Enemy
,
Because
the
End
and
Effects
thereof
is
Misery
and
Destruction
upon
all
that
persecute
the
Heritage
of
God
:
What
was
Pharaoh's
end
,
and
Herod's
end
,
and
Nero's
end
?
was
not
their
end
woful
and
miserable
to
God
,
and
shameful
to
men
?
And
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
will
bring
the
same
Effects
at
this
day
:
The
End
of
all
Persecutors
will
be
Misery
and
Shame
,
even
in
the
day
of
the
Lord
,
when
he
comes
with
Iudgment
and
Vengeance
,
and
to
reward
every
man
according
to
his
deeds
,
then
will
He
reward
Persecution
and
Persecutors
with
his
fierce
Wrath
,
and
they
shall
know
the
Iustice
of
God's
Iudgments
executed
upon
them
.
And
therefore
happy
will
the
King
be
,
if
he
keep
himself
clear
,
and
put
far
from
him
this
Enomy
,
Persecution
Three
Considerations
I
have
to
present
unto
the
King
for
Conclusion
.
1.
THe
Strength
,
and
Safety
and
Prosperity
of
the
King
and
his
Government
,
stands
in
the
Union
,
good
Affection
and
Love
of
his
Subjects
,
and
the
People
of
these
Kingdoms
,
one
to
another
,
and
to
the
King
;
and
the
more
that
the
People
of
the
Kingdoms
are
in
Love
,
and
Union
,
and
good
Affection
one
with
another
,
and
to
the
King
,
the
more
strong
,
and
safe
,
and
prosporous
thereby
is
the
King
and
his
Government
,
and
the
more
like
for
a
long
and
happy
Continuance
and
Establishment
:
And
it
is
the
Love
,
and
Union
and
Affection
of
the
Sober
,
and
Grave
,
and
Just
and
Upright
People
,
and
of
the
Meek
of
the
Land
,
that
is
the
King's
Strength
and
Safty
,
and
will
much
tend
to
his
Prosperity
,
and
to
the
Establishment
of
his
Government
and
Authority
;
and
the
King's
Safety
and
Strength
,
and
Prosperity
doth
not
depend
upon
the
Affections
and
Acclamations
of
the
Ruder
Sort
,
and
of
the
Wild
Multitude
,
though
such
profess
great
Subjection
,
and
cry
up
the
King
and
his
Government
,
and
drink
his
Healths
,
and
Swear
the
Destruction
of
all
his
Enemies
,
and
have
much
Love
and
great
Union
for
the
King
,
and
are
for
him
,
to
serve
him
,
and
Swear
Fidelity
,
and
Engage
themselves
very
highly
in
Words
and
Gestures
for
the
King
;
yet
the
King
and
his
Government
is
no
whit
the
safer
,
nor
more
strong
,
nor
prosperous
because
hereof
:
For
his
Prosperity
and
Establishment
dependeth
upon
the
Love
and
good
Affection
of
the
Just
,
and
Upright
,
and
Temperate
and
Meek
Men
of
the
Kingdoms
,
and
not
upon
the
Love
of
the
Rude
Multitude
;
such
cannot
be
a
Blessing
to
him
in
their
Vaunting
,
and
Boasting
and
Rudeness
,
nor
can
he
stand
by
them
;
but
must
stand
in
the
Establishment
of
his
Government
by
the
Love
of
such
as
fear
the
Lord
,
and
depart
from
all
Iniquity
;
by
the
good
Affection
of
such
,
and
their
Faithfulness
and
Love
,
may
the
King
be
happy
and
blessed
:
Therefore
let
him
strive
to
please
such
,
and
to
gain
their
good
Affections
to
be
united
to
him
,
and
this
may
add
to
his
long
Continuance
.
2.
It
is
the
doing
of
Justice
and
Truth
,
and
allowing
all
Just
and
Equal
Liberty
to
all
People
under
his
Authority
,
that
will
gain
upon
the
Hearts
of
all
Just
and
Good
People
:
And
as
Righteousness
.
Mercy
,
True
Judgment
and
Truth
is
brought
forth
in
the
Land
,
and
all
the
contrary
limitted
in
the
King's
Government
;
this
will
gain
much
upon
the
Hearts
and
Affections
of
all
good
People
,
to
be
united
in
Love
one
to
another
,
and
to
the
KING
:
And
this
is
the
way
of
the
King's
Prosperity
,
and
to
make
his
Government
established
,
if
so
be
that
he
exercise
his
Rule
and
Authority
in
Love
and
Meekness
,
and
Equal
Iustice
and
Mercy
,
and
love
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
and
hate
and
deny
all
the
contrary
,
and
limit
it
;
then
the
spirits
of
all
People
in
the
Kingdoms
would
be
subjected
and
subdued
under
his
Power
,
and
he
should
Rule
over
them
,
and
his
Kingdoms
be
Established
prosperously
;
and
this
is
the
Way
of
an
Happy
Government
.
But
if
so
be
the
KING
put
on
Rigour
,
and
be
Fierce
and
Cruel
,
and
think
to
subdue
all
under
him
by
Will
and
Force
,
without
shewing
Justice
and
Reason
to
answer
the
Consciences
of
his
Subjects
in
all
his
Proceedings
;
this
way
can
never
be
prosperous
,
nor
Establish
him
in
his
Authority
;
but
it
will
work
the
contrary
Effect
:
For
,
if
Oppression
be
brought
forth
,
and
Heavy
Yoaks
laid
upon
the
Back
of
the
Poor
;
then
will
the
Wrath
of
God
and
of
Men
be
kindleed
against
him
,
and
Murmurings
,
Strifs
and
Contentions
will
arise
in
the
Minds
of
Men
against
him
;
and
the
Oppressions
of
the
Poor
will
reach
unto
Heaven
,
and
God
will
hear
and
Revenge
their
Cause
.
So
that
it
is
Ruling
and
exercising
Authority
in
these
Kingdoms
in
Justice
,
Righteousness
,
Love
and
Good
Reason
that
must
gain
the
Hearts
of
People
unto
right
Subjection
,
to
make
the
King
and
his
Government
Happy
and
Established
;
and
Rigour
,
Force
and
Cruelty
will
never
make
the
King
happy
,
but
will
work
contrary
:
For
the
People
are
Wise
,
and
Understanding
will
not
long
bear
any
degree
of
the
Yoak
of
Slavery
.
3.
Inasmuch
as
the
People
of
these
Kingdoms
are
divers
,
and
divided
,
and
contrary
in
Judgment
one
to
another
in
many
things
,
and
so
are
dis-united
into
several
Opinions
and
Parties
;
the
King
ought
to
Rule
in
Wisdom
and
Love
over
them
all
,
and
to
shew
Equal
Justice
and
Liberty
,
and
to
ea●rcise
Righteousness
towards
them
all
alike
,
notwithstanding
their
Difference
in
Religion
and
Judgments
;
for
if
he
shall
give
Liberty
to
some
,
and
Oppress
others
;
if
he
do
joyn
with
one
Way
,
and
promote
that
;
and
the
men
of
one
Judgment
be
tollerated
,
and
all
other
Wayes
,
and
all
others
that
are
different
in
Judgement
,
be
persecuted
and
oppressed
,
and
sought
to
be
destroyed
;
this
is
not
the
way
for
the
King
to
prosper
,
nor
to
be
established
to
perpetuity
:
for
there
seems
to
be
no
one
Way
so
strong
,
or
any
one
sort
of
People
so
many
,
for
the
King
to
cleave
to
and
allow
,
and
seek
to
destroy
all
the
rest
,
because
there
is
of
other
sors
of
people
that
ballance
that
sort
in
opposition
;
and
so
the
King
and
his
Government
seems
not
secure
,
if
he
take
hold
of
any
one
sort
of
People
,
only
to
stand
thereby
,
in
opposition
to
all
the
rest
,
persecuting
of
them
;
because
there
are
many
of
other
Sects
that
will
be
discontented
and
murmur
,
if
not
more
:
So
that
the
King's
Safety
is
,
and
the
Prosperity
of
his
Government
,
and
the
Establishment
of
it
seems
to
be
,
By
giving
Equal
Liberty
and
Iustice
,
and
shewing
Love
and
Tenderness
to
all
of
all
Iudgments
,
and
then
he
may
stand
by
all
,
and
none
will
oppose
him
,
but
all
will
be
ready
to
defend
and
preserve
him
:
For
he
may
stand
established
,
and
be
happy
in
his
Government
,
by
engaging
all
sorts
to
him
through
Love
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
Liberty
towards
all
;
but
he
cannot
(
according
to
my
Iudgment
)
be
established
nor
prosperous
,
if
he
choose
only
the
Men
of
one
Judgment
to
stand
by
,
and
cleave
only
to
that
,
and
persecute
and
seek
to
destroy
all
the
rest
that
are
different
;
and
so
only
make
one
Party
his
Friends
,
and
dis-engage
all
others
in
Love
and
Affection
;
this
seems
,
I
say
,
not
the
Way
of
Prosperity
.
Let
the
King
consider
it
,
and
the
Lord
give
him
a
Right
Understanding
.

a
Friend
to
Iust
Authority

B.
PERSECUTION
IMPEACHED
,
As
a
Traytor
against
God
,
HIS
LAWS
and
GOVERNMENT
;
And
the
CAUSE
of
the
Ancient
MARTYRS
Vindicated
,
against
the
Cruelty
inflicted
upon
them
by
the
Papists
in
former
Dayes
.
Being
a
Brief
ANSWER
to
a
Book
called
,
Semper
Iidem
;
Or
,
A
Paralel
of
PHANATICKS
,
&c.
lately
published
by
a
Nameless
Author
:
Wherein
is
contain'd
a
Relation
of
the
Martyrdom
of
many
such
as
Dissented
and
Opposed
the
Church
of
ROME
;
who
are
in
the
said
Book
Villified
and
Reproached
,
by
the
Name
and
Term
of
Antient
Phanaticks
.
And
this
is
sent
forth
as
an
Answer
thereunto
,
to
Pursue
it
,
Apprehend
it
,
and
Condemn
it
,
as
a
Pamphlet
of
Calumnies
and
Slanders
against
the
Protestants
,
both
of
former
and
present
Dayes
;
who
are
all
of
them
Scorned
in
the
said
Book
,
the
one
as
Ancient
,
the
other
as
Modern
PHANATICKS
.
Which
is
sent
abroad
as
a
Warning
to
ENGLAND
,
to
beware
of
the
spirit
of
the
Church
of
ROME
,
lest
it
Exalt
it self
in
Cruel
Persecution
against
the
PROTESTANTS
,
and
all
that
differ
from
it
.
HOW
Great
and
Miserable
hath
been
that
Darkness
and
Ignorance
,
which
hath
over-spread
the
Nations
and
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
?
And
how
manifold
is
that
Error
into
which
many
have
been
fallen
,
even
as
into
a
Snare
of
Destruction
?
And
how
woful
is
that
Strife
,
Division
and
Contention
about
Religion
,
that
hath
highly
abounded
among
the
Christian
People
?
(
so
called
)
For
the
whole
Christendom
have
been
divided
,
and
in
Opposition
one
part
against
another
,
about
the
True
God
,
and
his
Worship
,
and
concerning
the
knowledge
of
Salvation
by
Jesus
Christ
:
And
divers
kinds
of
Religion
,
Church-Government
,
and
Practices
of
Ordinances
of
Faith
&
Worship
have
been
extant
in
the
World
;
and
Nations
&
Countries
have
been
all
in
Division
,
Strife
and
Contention
about
these
Matters
,
and
have
been
also
persecuting
one
another
violently
unto
Bonds
and
Death
,
for
and
because
difference
in
Judgment
and
Practices
concerning
Spiritual
Things
,
Papists
against
Protestants
;
and
Protestants
against
Papists
,
and
one
sort
of
Christians
(
so
called
)
against
another
,
and
the
men
of
such
a
Judgment
,
and
Fai●●
,
and
Way
of
Religion
have
been
persecuting
and
seeking
to
destroy
all
that
have
been
contrary
minded
to
them
;
And
thus
have
been
the
woful
Divisions
and
evil
Effects
thereof
in
the
World
among
Christians
,
about
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
Religious
matters
,
&
this
has
come
to
pass
because
of
the
spirit
of
Error
&
Darkness
that
hath
possessed
the
minds
of
men
,
since
the
falling
away
from
the
Truth
,
as
it
was
once
manifest
among
the
Apostles
:
And
thus
it
s
come
to
pass
,
because
of
the
erring
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
because
that
hath
been
wanting
amongst
men
,
therefore
have
People
been
divers
and
divided
about
Matters
of
Religion
,
each
one
sort
following
their
own
Invention
and
Traditions
of
men
,
and
also
persecuting
one
another
,
and
killing
and
imprisoning
one
another
because
of
the
same
;
and
all
this
,
because
the
Spirit
of
Truth
hath
not
dwelt
in
the
Hearts
of
Christians
,
as
it
did
in
the
Apostles
,
not
led
,
guided
and
taught
them
in
true
Unity
and
Fellowship
,
as
it
did
the
true
Christians
in
the
dayes
of
old
:
And
while
the
Spirit
of
Christ
hath
been
wanting
,
and
is
not
received
into
the
Heart
,
to
mortifie
,
guide
,
rule
and
teach
in
all
the
Wayes
of
God
,
and
the
whole
exercise
of
Religion
and
Duty
towards
Him
;
and
while
there
is
any
kind
of
imposing
and
forceing
of
Religion
by
Laws
of
men
,
upon
Penalties
and
Forfeitures
,
and
setting
up
Worship
and
Church
Government
by
that
means
,
and
in
that
way
,
without
the
imm●…
Teaching
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
the
Conscience
;
I
say
,
while
this
hath
been
and
is
continued
,
nothing
but
Division
,
Strife
,
Contention
,
Persecution
,
and
Nations
and
Peoples
destroying
one
another
about
Religion
,
hath
been
,
is
,
or
can
be
in
the
World
amongst
Christians
.
And
of
this
same
(
to
wit
)
of
Division
and
Contention
about
Religion
,
with
the
Enmity
of
such
as
are
so
divided
one
against
another
,
to
the
persecuting
and
killing
one
of
another
,
that
are
contrary
minded
,
as
it
hath
been
brought
forth
in
the
World
for
Generations
past
,
we
have
here
a
sufficient
large
Testimony
,
lately
published
in
a
Book
called
,
Semper
Iidem
,
or
,
A
Paralel
of
Phanaticks
,
&c.
wherein
is
made
mention
of
what
Strife
and
Contention
there
hath
been
in
former
dayes
among
the
false
Christians
;
and
how
they
have
cruelly
Persecuted
,
Burned
and
Destroyed
one
another
in
this
Cause
,
only
for
and
because
of
the
difference
in
Maters
of
Judgment
and
Religious
Things
;
and
these
Persecutions
and
Cruelties
,
effected
contrary
to
the
Example
of
Christ
and
his
Doctrine
,
who
hath
exhorted
to
Love
and
Peace
,
and
not
to
Kill
and
Destroy
;
and
that
a
man
should
love
his
Enemies
,
and
not
Kill
and
Destroy
them
;
contrary
to
which
Doctrine
the
false
Christians
of
all
kinds
have
walked
and
acted
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apo●…
,
who
have
been
Apostatized
,
and
fallen
from
the
very
Life
and
Power
of
Godliness
,
as
held
amongst
the
primitive
Saints
,
into
Forms
and
empty
Shadows
,
being
all
in
strife
one
with
another
about
such
things
,
and
have
wanted
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
should
have
led
and
guided
into
all
Truth
,
and
exercised
them
in
the
true
Worship
of
the
true
and
living
God
,
who
is
a
Spirit
,
and
is
only
truly
worshipped
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
;
but
out
of
this
Spirit
and
spiritual
Worship
the
false
Christians
have
been
erred
,
and
so
all
divided
and
in
Centention
,
a●
aforesaid
,
and
persecuting
one
another
because
thereof
,
each
one
sort
justifying
their
own
Way
〈◊〉
Right
,
and
condemning
that
which
hath
differed
as
the
Wrong
,
and
all
as
Hereticks
that
have
been
otherwise
minded
.
But
as
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Book
,
Semper
Iidem
,
&c.
I
would
gladly
animad●…
〈◊〉
con●…ing
it
,
and
do
intend
to
write
a
few
things
by
way
of
an●●er
thereunto
,
and
this
is
the
present
Occasion
of
my
present
work
;
for
having
met
with
the
said
Pamphlet
,
and
perusing
of
it
,
I
found
divers
Considerations
on
my
spirit
to
send
forth
in
Answer
,
to
pursue
the
said
Semper
Iidem
up
and
down
the
World
,
till
it
returns
again
unto
the
place
from
whence
it
came
(
to
wit
)
Unto
the
bottomless
Pit
,
out
of
which
it
lately
arose
:
and
in
reading
the
same
Book
,
I
have
principally
observed
the
Mischievout
End
and
secret
Evil
Intents
of
the
Nameless
Author
,
more
than
the
Matter
it self
contained
:
and
though
the
Author
be
Nameless
,
yet
is
his
nature
and
spirit
known
by
his
Book
;
and
for
what
end
he
hath
concealed
his
Name
,
I
know
not
,
except
he
was
ashamed
of
his
Work
,
and
durst
not
Authorize
his
Matter
by
his
Name
;
but
however
,
the
spirit
,
end
and
intent
of
the
said
Nameless
Person
is
perceived
and
known
,
as
much
as
any
Tree
can
be
distinguished
by
its
Fruit
;
and
he
is
of
an
Envious
Disposition
of
Heart
,
and
of
Malicious
Countenance
,
and
in
nature
and
stock
of
the
descent
of
Cain
;
for
his
spirit
is
of
an
evil
constitution
,
hot
and
fiery
,
and
enclinable
to
destroy
all
that
are
not
like-minded
with
himself
in
the
Iudgment
of
Religious
Matters
;
and
his
proceedings
and
the
end
of
his
work
is
of
an
Intent
and
Purpose
wicked
enough
,
if
every
Effect
answers
the
Cause
appearing
,
and
be
not
diverted
from
the
End
proposed
by
the
Author
;
and
this
I
find
by
Calculation
of
his
Birth
,
and
the
Temper
of
his
spirit
,
and
of
the
Time
wherein
his
Book
is
published
,
and
by
the
Cause
,
and
End
and
Intent
of
the
Matter
and
Manner
of
it
,
and
by
the
Effect
that
would
follow
,
if
the
Author's
Aim
and
Purpose
were
fulfilled
:
By
all
which
I
must
in
true
Judgment
conclude
from
the
Appearance
,
Disposition
,
Temper
and
Constitution
of
the
spirit
of
the
man
,
and
from
all
Causes
and
Effects
pertaining
to
the
said
Semper
Iidem
,
That
the
Author
thereof
is
indeed
chiefly
a
Member
of
the
Church
of
Rome
(
to
wit
)
mostly
a
down-right
Papist
,
holding
forth
the
Principles
of
Antichrist
in
perfect
form
and
manner
,
for
the
perfect
End
and
Cause
of
Persecution
,
even
Burning
again
in
Smithfield
,
and
else-where
,
and
killing
and
destroying
even
all
sorts
of
people
under
the
scurrilous
reproachful
name
of
Phanaticks
,
that
are
in
Iudgment
and
practice
of
Profession
contrary
to
this
man's
Way
,
and
differing
from
the
Papists
Religion
:
This
,
I
say
,
I
truly
find
to
be
the
current
and
disposition
of
the
Nameless
Author
,
and
his
Proceedings
in
his
Method
and
Matter
of
his
Semper
Iidem
,
&c.
and
I
have
taken
in
hand
at
this
time
to
answer
him
a
little
,
and
to
unfold
some
of
the
dangerous
Intents
towards
England
,
which
may
inhabit
and
secretly
lodge
in
that
spirit
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
according
to
the
current
of
the
said
Book
,
and
from
which
I
have
just
cause
to
suppose
the
thing
that
I
partly
assert
,
even
that
the
spirit
which
hath
Indicted
the
said
Book
,
waits
its
Opportunity
to
effect
its
end
,
and
to
revive
and
renew
Fire
and
Faggot
again
,
to
the
extinquishing
and
destruction
of
all
that
differ
,
and
are
contrary
minded
in
Principles
and
Practices
of
Religion
and
Worship
from
themselves
;
for
the
Fury
and
Reproach
of
the
said
spirit
that
indicted
and
published
Semper
Iidem
,
reacheth
not
only
to
others
,
whom
they
call
more
Phanatical
,
as
Quakers
,
Anabaptists
,
&c.
but
to
the
very
Protestants
themselves
,
even
to
all
whatsoever
that
differ
from
the
Church
of
Rome
;
for
such
by
the
Nameless
Author
are
no
less
termed
and
vilified
by
that
scornful
term
PHANATICKS
,
distinguished
by
the
Name
of
Ancient
and
Modern
,
as
hereafter
I
shall
make
it
appear
.
And
First
,
I
shall
shew
a
little
concerning
the
Signification
of
the
Term
Phanatick
,
as
of
late
used
;
and
the
first
use
of
it
in
these
late
Dayes
;
and
the
exchange
of
the
word
from
one
Sort
to
another
;
and
in
whose
mouthes
it
now
remains
;
and
who
are
now
so
accounted
.
1.
NOt
to
discuss
the
Etimology
and
signification
of
the
word
Phanatick
in
it self
,
and
what
its
Original
is
,
and
from
whence
derived
,
this
I
shall
not
now
proceed
to
do
,
as
being
not
needful
to
my
Occasion
,
though
there
is
difference
of
Judgment
amongst
some
in
this
matter
;
and
some
say
,
the
original
and
root
of
the
word
is
from
Phanos
,
a
false
Godd
;
and
some
say
otherwise
:
and
they
are
not
in
unity
among
themselves
that
do
most
of
all
use
the
word
,
concerning
the
Derivation
and
Signification
of
the
word
in
it self
:
Neither
shall
I
spend
time
to
seek
out
a
Judgment
,
and
to
give
it
in
this
case
,
as
counting
the
recompence
that
can
be
obtained
not
answerable
to
such
a
work
;
but
the
signification
of
it
,
as
now
used
at
this
day
among
People
,
is
this
,
All
that
differ
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
of
Religion
and
Worship
from
the
generality
of
People
,
and
cannot
conform
unto
such
Way
of
Religion
as
generally
practiced
in
the
Land
,
such
are
called
PHANATICKS
:
and
this
Signification
the
word
beareth
among
People
,
as
now
practiced
,
Such
as
meet
together
to
Preach
and
Pray
out
of
Publick
Places
,
and
cannot
either
out
of
Knowledge
or
Conscience
conform
to
the
Publick
Way
of
Worship
held
forth
;
such
are
called
Phanaticks
,
and
Reproached
by
that
Name
from
the
Mouthes
of
Scorners
and
Revilers
of
the
Wayes
of
God
(
Numbers
of
whom
do
now
abound
)
and
also
,
Such
who
make
Conscience
of
their
Wayes
,
and
cannot
run
on
in
the
Wayes
of
Iniquity
,
in
Lying
and
Drunkenness
,
and
such
like
,
but
have
been
and
are
more
sober
,
and
do
walk
more
in
Meekness
and
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
have
separated
themselves
from
the
Evil
Company
of
men
,
and
from
all
Evil
Wayes
,
and
could
not
run
into
the
same
excess
of
Riot
with
the
Multitude
,
such
have
been
called
of
these
late
dayes
Phanaticks
by
the
Scorners
Generation
.
And
thus
much
in
brief
of
the
signification
of
the
word
,
as
used
of
these
late
dayes
.
2.
As
for
the
first
use
of
the
word
Phanatick
in
this
Age
,
it
is
but
of
very
late
use
;
for
till
within
these
two
Years
,
or
less
,
we
had
very
little
or
no
use
of
the
word
Phanatick
,
until
about
the
time
of
then
General
Monk's
Army
coming
out
of
Scotland
to
London
,
when
the
Army
was
new
model'd
,
and
many
of
the
Sectaries
(
so
called
)
were
turned
out
of
Places
,
about
the
Eleaventh
Moneth
,
1659.
then
began
the
common
use
of
this
word
Phanatick
;
and
the
Anabaptists
,
and
such
as
were
turn'd
out
of
the
Army
,
and
called
all
by
the
Name
of
Sectaries
,
that
were
different
from
the
publick
Way
of
Worship
,
then
held
out
(
which
was
for
the
most
part
of
it
Presbyterians
)
these
were
called
Phanaticks
;
and
then
the
use
of
the
word
so
common
began
about
this
time
(
as
I
have
said
)
as
now
practiced
in
our
dayes
:
For
the
Rage
and
Indignation
of
the
then
Presbyterians
(
so
called
)
and
that
Party
,
was
such
against
the
Anabaptists
,
and
such
as
differed
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
from
them
,
that
scornfully
they
called
them
in
Derision
Phanaticks
.
And
,
so
far
as
I
know
,
this
was
the
Time
and
Occasion
of
the
first
use
of
this
word
,
as
of
late
Practiced
;
or
at
least
,
it
was
the
first
Time
and
Occasion
of
my
Observation
of
the
common
use
of
the
word
Phanatick
.
3.
And
now
as
concerning
the
exchange
of
the
word
,
from
one
sort
of
People
to
another
,
and
how
it
hath
been
used
by
divers
sorts
of
People
against
others
that
have
differed
from
themselves
,
this
is
also
observable
,
That
the
word
Phanatick
hath
not
so
much
proper
relation
to
any
one
sort
of
People
,
as
that
it
is
only
perfectly
true
to
one
sort
of
People
more
than
to
others
;
but
the
properness
of
the
word
Phanatick
,
is
only
as
Scorners
and
Revilers
will
wickedly
use
it
,
and
as
they
will
turn
it
to
this
sort
of
People
,
or
to
the
other
,
to
scorn
them
by
it
,
whom
they
have
an
Emnity
against
,
and
whom
they
list
to
abuseby
reproaching
:
And
this
is
the
end
of
the
use
of
the
word
to
this
day
,
and
not
of
any
truth
or
verity
in
it
to
any
People
,
but
only
it
s
used
as
a
Term
of
Reproach
and
Scorning
,
by
the
Mouthes
of
ungodly
men
against
such
as
differ
from
them
and
their
Wayes
,
though
they
are
better
in
Practice
of
Life
and
Conversation
than
themselves
:
And
the
Term
hath
been
changed
divers
times
,
and
divers
sorts
of
People
reproached
by
it
by
others
,
since
its
first
use
:
as
first
,
The
People
called
Presbyterians
(
as
aforesaid
)
they
used
it
towards
such
as
were
otherwise-minded
than
themselves
,
and
reproached
the
Anabaptists
,
and
others
that
differed
from
them
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
of
Religion
,
by
the
Name
of
Phanaticks
,
and
then
they
reproached
many
by
that
Name
that
differed
from
them
,
and
did
not
conform
to
their
Way
of
Worship
and
Religion
;
but
this
continued
not
long
,
for
when
others
came
over
them
,
and
they
grew
under
Reproach
,
then
they
themselves
were
reproached
by
that
Name
Phanatick
,
by
which
they
had
reproached
others
not
long
before
;
and
many
that
are
for
the
Government
of
the
Church
under
Episcopacy
,
they
now
reproach
the
Presbyterians
(
so
called
)
by
the
Name
of
Phanaticks
;
so
the
word
is
used
in
scorn
to
them
by
Scorners
,
as
they
used
it
to
others
that
differed
from
them
in
the
like
scornful
spirit
:
And
thus
the
word
is
made
use
of
only
in
derision
and
reproach
to
any
that
differ
from
the
publick
way
of
Religion
in
the
Land
:
For
when
the
publick
was
generally
Presbyterians
,
then
they
that
would
not
conform
to
that
,
but
opposed
it
,
were
called
Phanaticks
;
and
now
when
the
publick
is
Episcopal
,
even
the
Presbyterians
themselves
,
and
all
that
differ
from
that
way
,
and
cannot
conform
to
it
,
are
reproached
by
the
scornful
Name
of
Phanatick
.
And
thus
the
word
hath
been
exchanged
from
one
sort
of
Scorners
to
another
,
and
used
reproachfully
towards
divers
Persons
;
so
that
as
I
have
said
,
the
word
Phanatick
is
truly
proper
to
none
of
the
Sects
more
than
others
,
but
only
proper
to
be
used
by
Scoffers
and
Scorners
against
any
whom
they
have
a
mind
to
villifie
;
and
it
s
exchanged
from
one
to
another
,
and
used
by
divers
sorts
of
People
,
according
as
Times
and
Religion
do
change
by
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
.
So
the
Term
Phanatick
is
changed
into
the
Mouthes
of
Scorners
,
to
reproach
all
that
differ
from
the
Common
General
Way
of
Profession
and
Practice
of
Religion
.
4.
Now
,
last
of
all
,
it
is
changed
yet
once
more
into
the
Mouthes
of
the
Papists
,
as
by
Semper
Iidem
doth
appear
,
now
under
my
explanation
:
and
now
the
Papists
have
gotten
the
word
Phanatick
both
from
the
Presbyterians
and
Episcopals
,
and
all
must
now
be
reproached
by
that
Name
,
that
differ
from
them
and
their
Way
and
Religion
;
and
they
have
already
begun
to
cry
Phanatick
to
the
Protestants
,
that
differ
from
them
in
Principles
and
Practices
.
And
thus
its
manifest
,
that
the
word
Phanatick
is
truly
proper
to
none
,
but
only
used
by
Scorners
,
to
all
whom
they
will
revile
and
hold
in
derision
,
as
different
from
them
in
Religion
,
such
they
villifie
by
the
Name
of
Phanaticks
:
First
,
the
Presbyterians
used
it
to
such
as
differed
from
them
;
then
Episcopal
men
(
so
called
)
used
it
towards
all
that
differed
from
them
;
and
now
last
of
all
,
the
Papists
have
got
it
from
both
,
and
use
it
to
all
in
derision
that
differ
from
them
.
And
thus
I
have
shewed
,
First
,
the
beginning
of
the
use
of
the
word
Phanatick
,
and
upon
what
occasion
,
and
its
true
signification
,
as
used
at
this
day
.
Secondly
,
concerning
the
exchanging
of
the
word
from
one
to
another
,
and
how
that
its
truly
proper
to
no
People
,
but
Scorners
only
use
it
,
to
deride
and
reproach
such
as
differ
from
them
,
and
cannot
run
in
the
same
excess
of
Vanity
.
Thirdly
.
How
the
Papists
now
last
of
all
have
got
it
,
and
use
it
against
the
Protestants
;
and
in
their
Mouthes
now
it
remains
:
and
the
Protestants
(
so
called
)
are
now
the
Persons
and
People
that
are
accounted
Phanaticks
,
because
they
differ
from
the
Papists
in
Principles
and
Practises
of
Faith
,
Worship
and
Religion
:
and
this
is
manifest
by
the
scope
of
Semper
Iidem
.
Secondly
,
I
shall
now
shew
how
maliciously
the
nameless
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
hath
slandred
the
Martyres
and
Sufferers
for
Righteousness
sake
in
former
Ages
;
and
how
he
hath
accused
the
Protestants
(
now
living
)
and
what
effect
this
would
work
in
England
,
if
the
Author's
Intent
were
fulfilled
.
1.
HE
hath
slandered
,
accused
and
rendred
the
Martyres
of
old
,
as
Infamous
as
he
possibly
can
,
even
termed
them
by
the
scornful
Name
of
Phanaticks
,
even
the
Protestant
Martyrs
(
so
called
)
who
are
said
to
be
the
very
Fathers
of
the
Protestant
Church
;
as
Bishop
Latimer
,
Cranmer
,
Ridley
,
and
many
others
,
who
have
been
accounted
honourable
in
England
for
their
faithfulness
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
who
because
thereof
,
were
martyred
and
burned
by
the
Cruelty
of
the
Papists
;
yet
these
Persons
,
with
Robert
Woodman
,
Thomas
Hawks
,
and
many
more
of
the
Antient
Protestant
Martyrs
,
are
slandered
by
the
villifying
Term
of
Phanaticks
;
and
that
they
were
men
of
mischief
,
and
licentious
Tongues
,
and
seditious
behaviours
and
they
were
erronious
and
obstinate
,
as
in
the
ninth
Page
of
Semper
Iidem
doth
appear
;
and
in
pag.
16.
Latimer
is
again
called
one
of
the
Antient
Phanatick
.
And
thus
the
main
work
of
this
nameless
Author
throughout
his
Book
,
is
to
accuse
the
Protestant
Martyrs
that
suffered
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
to
be
rebellious
seditious
Hereticks
,
and
he
villifies
them
by
the
very
Title
of
Antient
Phanaticks
;
and
this
is
apparent
through
the
whole
Pamphlet
,
even
by
his
Calumnies
,
Reproaches
and
Accusations
against
the
Protestant
Martyrs
,
who
suffered
for
bearing
Witness
against
the
Church
of
Rome
.
And
thus
the
very
Fathers
of
the
Protestant
Church
(
so
called
)
stand
now
in
reputation
to
be
Hereticks
,
seditious
,
rebellious
,
and
j●dged
Phanatick
;
and
this
is
for
the
Protestants
(
so
called
)
even
the
very
Bishops
themselves
in
England
to
consider
of
.
2.
The
Auther
of
Pemper
Iidem
hath
accused
some
of
the
Protestants
,
even
of
the
King's
Friends
now
living
,
and
villifieth
them
by
the
Name
of
Phanatick
,
as
William
Prin
,
&c.
whom
he
calls
one
of
the
modern
Phanaticks
:
And
no
doubt
but
the
Intent
of
this
Man
,
with
whom
I
am
now
in
contest
,
reputes
even
all
the
Protestants
of
this
present
Age
to
be
Phanaticks
,
and
such
as
the
Antient
Phanaticks
,
to
wit
,
the
Protestant
Martyrs
,
as
before-mentioned
;
for
he
having
accused
Ridly
and
Cranmer
,
and
many
more
,
being
such
who
were
some
of
the
first
Promoters
of
the
Protestant
Religion
in
England
,
and
the
very
Instituters
of
that
Book
,
called
the
Divine-service-Book
;
it
must
needs
follow
consequently
,
and
may
be
concluded
from
his
words
,
and
by
his
meaning
,
That
all
the
Protestants
now
are
such
,
even
the
present
Prelates
of
England
;
and
durst
the
Author
have
spoken
plain
,
it
is
likely
he
would
have
said
the
same
,
but
that
he
hath
minced
the
matter
a
little
,
as
well
as
concealed
his
Name
,
though
his
work
be
cryed
up
and
down
London
;
which
all
sober
People
may
indeed
well
take
notice
of
,
seeing
that
the
Martyrs
of
old
,
who
have
to
this
day
been
of
good
report
and
fame
for
their
Piety
and
Faithfulness
in
London
,
and
through
these
Lands
,
are
now
accused
,
slandered
and
reproached
up
and
down
the
Streets
of
London
by
the
Name
of
Rebels
and
Seditious
,
and
by
the
Term
of
Antient
Phanaticks
.
Is
London
so
blind
that
cannot
see
what
is
in
the
Bottom
and
Intent
of
such
a
Work
,
as
renders
the
very
Fathers
of
their
Church
Hereticks
,
and
no
better
than
Phanaticks
?
And
as
for
William
Pryn
,
who
is
also
accounted
one
of
the
chief
modern
Phanaticks
,
I
shall
leave
him
to
answer
for
himself
,
not
doubting
but
he
is
sufficient
to
say
something
in
the
Case
;
only
may
mind
him
,
with
many
others
of
his
Principles
and
Familiarity
,
how
they
have
cryed
out
Phanaticks
against
such
as
have
differed
from
them
,
and
this
not
long
since
;
and
now
themselves
are
under
the
same
Reproach
by
others
,
as
they
have
reproached
others
;
and
now
he
and
they
are
reckoned
the
Modern
Phanaticks
and
no
better
.
3.
What
can
possibly
be
the
Author's
Intent
in
his
proceedings
?
First
,
in
relating
of
the
burning
,
destroying
and
martyring
of
the
Martyrs
,
whom
he
wickedly
calleth
A●●ions
Phanaticks
.
And
then
,
Secondly
,
in
intimating
the
Protestants
now
living
to
be
Phanaticks
by
this
Paralel
,
the
purpose
and
end
of
the
man
must
needs
be
,
That
he
would
have
Fire
and
Faggots
up
again
,
Burning
and
Martyring
up
again
in
England
;
and
all
that
shall
differ
from
that
Man's
Way
(
whom
we
find
by
Calculation
to
be
chiefly
a
Papist
)
should
be
burnt
,
martyred
and
destroyed
now
again
,
as
in
the
dayes
of
Queen
Mary
;
this
effect
would
follow
:
and
this
Semper
Iidem
is
but
a
little
Item
or
Intimation
before-hand
,
cryed
up
and
down
London
,
to
prepare
its
own
spirit
,
where
it
shall
meet
with
it
,
into
Fary
and
Rage
even
to
the
destroying
of
all
the
Protestants
:
And
as
this
〈◊〉
●●dem
may
possibly
work
such
an
effect
among
the
People
of
that
spirit
,
〈◊〉
love
to
murder
and
burn
for
difference
in
Religion
,
It
may
also
and
ought
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
an
effect
in
the
other
Party
,
to
be
considerate
and
diligent
,
and
to
re●…d
the
signs
of
the
Times
,
even
the
sign
of
Semper
Iidem
,
which
seems
to
be
●…tle
Black-stur
predicting
a
bad
Effect
,
if
the
course
of
Heaven
alter
it
not
again
.
And
Semper
Iidem
is
indeed
to
be
taken
notice
of
in
London
,
because
the
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
not
〈◊〉
for
above
an
hundred
Years
,
nor
any
one
ever
durst
to
appear
〈◊〉
such
a
publication
of
villifying
the
Protestant
Martyrs
with
Reproaches
and
〈◊〉
of
Rebels
,
Seditious
men
and
Phanaticks
,
as
this
Nameless
Author
〈◊〉
done
:
which
gives
us
cause
to
say
,
The
Times
are
changed
,
and
may
yet
〈◊〉
further
,
if
the
Effects
of
Semper
Iidem
be
not
diverted
;
for
the
Effects
of
his
work
,
is
,
to
bring
all
to
the
Fire
,
Faggot
,
and
Martyrdom
that
shall
differ
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
of
whom
the
Author
is
a
Member
,
as
by
all
signs
●●d
tokens
doth
appear
.
Thirdly
,
I
shall
now
shew
how
this
spirit
in
the
Papists
,
that
burnt
the
Martyrs
,
(
which
is
the
same
spirit
that
endited
Semper
Iidem
,
that
is
again
moving
its
Countenance
now
adayes
)
I
shall
shew
how
that
spirit
was
not
,
nor
is
of
Christ
,
but
of
Antichrist
and
the
Devil
.
1.
IT
was
not
the
way
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
neither
did
they
give
Command
or
President
for
it
,
to
kill
,
burn
,
or
destroy
their
Enemiec
,
and
such
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Hereticks
,
as
the
false
Christians
〈◊〉
,
and
as
the
Papists
did
in
Queen
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
who
burned
and
destroyed
many
hundreds
of
the
Protestants
who
〈◊〉
them
in
their
Profession
and
Practices
of
Religion
:
and
this
was
not
〈◊〉
way
,
for
he
commanded
To
love
Enemies
,
and
not
to
kill
them
,
and
it
was
〈◊〉
He
did
Good
for
them
them
did
Evil
〈◊〉
him
;
and
so
did
his
Apostles
;
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
was
no
such
thing
in
the
Churches
of
Christ
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
as
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
burning
of
Hereticks
,
and
putting
them
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
by
Cr●●●
Torments
;
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
and
his
Apostles
did
convince
〈◊〉
s●…rs
by
Love
and
〈◊〉
Doctrine
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
walk
peaceably
towards
all
their
Enemies
,
and
did
not
s●●k
their
〈◊〉
,
not
to
be
revenged
〈◊〉
their
Persecutors
:
but
the
Papists
and
〈◊〉
,
contrary
to
Christ's
Doctrine
and
Example
,
do
burn
and
kill
,
and
destroy
their
Enemies
,
such
whom
they
judge
to
be
in
Error
,
though
yet
their
Iudgment
be
utterly
false
,
and
their
killing
and
burning
grounded
upon
such
Iudgment
:
and
this
hath
been
the
Papists
way
of
proceeding
as
is
related
in
Semper
Iidem
;
wherein
is
mentioned
the
burning
and
destroying
of
a
great
number
of
such
as
they
then
called
Hereticks
,
whom
Semper
Iidem
now
calls
Antient
Phanaticks
:
and
he
hath
justified
their
Martyrdom
to
be
Right
,
and
condemned
the
Martyred
as
Phanaticks
;
and
this
is
published
in
London
.
2.
All
Persecution
about
Religion
,
and
killing
and
burning
for
difference
in
matters
of
spiritual
things
,
hath
been
and
is
of
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
,
both
in
the
Papists
and
other
false
Christians
,
though
it
hath
long
been
practised
in
the
World
,
for
to
destroy
the
Workmanship
of
God
,
the
Persons
and
Creatures
,
by
Fires
and
Cruel
Torments
:
This
is
not
of
God
,
but
of
the
Devil
,
especially
when
it
is
done
upon
such
an
unjust
occasion
,
as
to
destroy
mens
Persons
by
cruel
tortures
for
the
Error
of
their
Minds
;
This
is
of
the
Beast
and
Dragon
,
spoken
of
in
the
Revelations
:
For
the
Beast
killed
all
that
would
not
worship
him
,
Revel.
13.
for
it
was
the
Dragon
that
persecuted
the
Woman
,
the
true
Church
,
and
made
War
with
the
Rèmnant
of
her
Seed
,
and
cast
floods
out
of
his
Mouth
,
after
the
Woman
had
brought
forth
the
Man-Child
;
and
he
persued
her
into
the
Wilderness
,
and
then
he
gave
power
to
the
Beast
,
his
Seat
,
and
his
great
Authority
,
as
you
may
read
;
and
then
that
Beast
,
to
whom
the
Dragon
gave
Authority
,
forced
all
to
worship
him
,
and
killed
all
that
would
not
worship
him
,
and
made
War
against
them
,
and
overcame
them
:
And
so
it
is
manifest
that
this
Practice
,
which
the
Papists
and
false
Christians
have
used
,
of
burning
and
killing
all
such
as
will
not
worship
after
their
manner
,
is
of
the
Devil
the
Dragon
and
Antichrist
,
and
hath
no
foundation
in
God
,
but
is
of
the
wicked
One
to
all
Intents
and
Purposes
.
And
thus
I
have
shewed
the
Papists
Practices
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
(
and
at
all
times
before
and
since
,
of
burning
and
destroying
of
such
as
differ
from
them
in
religious
Matters
)
are
of
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
,
though
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
seems
to
justifie
the
Death
of
the
Martyrs
,
and
hath
reproachfully
villified
them
,
about
an
hundred
years
after
they
are
dead
,
by
the
scornful
Name
of
Phanaticks
.
Fourthly
,
I
shall
now
shew
something
concerning
the
Cause
of
the
Publication
of
Semper
Iidem
,
which
the
Author
saith
,
is
from
the
late
Insurrection
in
London
,
and
comparing
them
with
their
Predecessors
,
he
thought
fit
to
publish
the
same
;
as
in
his
Epistle
.
NOw
in
answer
to
this
.
As
for
the
Insurrection
in
London
,
I
shall
not
justifie
it
,
nor
speak
a
word
in
vindication
of
the
said
Persons
Proceedings
,
but
shall
leave
them
without
giving
my
Judgment
upon
them
further
than
this
,
That
it
was
an
Evil
Occasion
,
administred
against
such
as
were
no
way
guilty
thereof
,
who
are
deeply
suffering
this
day
Imprisonment
and
Persecution
,
and
their
Peaceable
Meetings
broken
up
,
and
they
violently
dealt
withal
in
many
particulars
,
and
onely
upon
the
occasion
of
that
Insurrection
aforesaid
;
And
how
Unjust
it
is
,
let
all
the
World
judge
,
that
any
should
suffer
for
the
Faults
of
others
?
And
how
Unequal
it
is
that
many
should
be
Imprisoned
,
Fined
,
and
taken
out
of
their
own
Houses
and
Meetings
,
to
Goals
and
Prisons
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
,
upon
the
Occasion
of
that
Insurrection
,
whereof
they
were
clear
and
inno●ent
both
to
God
and
Men
,
though
they
are
dealt
withal
as
Plotters
Conspirors
and
Rebellious
,
when
as
hereof
they
are
not
guilty
?
And
this
is
all
that
I
shall
say
at
present
as
about
that
Insurrection
,
and
the
Occasion
of
Semper
Iidem
its
Publication
.
And
whereas
Sir
Iohn
Oldcastle
,
and
Sir
Roger
Acton
,
with
divers
others
are
mentioned
,
and
their
Deaths
related
,
whom
this
Author
saith
,
were
put
to
death
for
Treason
and
Rebellion
,
and
making
Insurrection
.
Concerning
the
Carriages
and
Death
of
such
I
shall
say
little
,
nor
can
I
justifie
any
in
so
doing
,
neither
in
Ages
past
,
nor
in
this
present
Time
,
if
they
were
put
to
death
only
upon
that
Account
,
for
rebelling
with
Carnal
Weapons
,
and
rising
up
in
Conspiracies
against
the
Authorities
which
they
were
under
,
or
for
Evil-doing
to
their
Neighbours
;
I
say
,
such
neither
in
this
Age
,
nor
in
Ages
past
,
do
I
justifie
,
nor
will
vindicate
their
Practices
,
nor
condemn
their
Death
,
but
shall
leave
them
to
be
justified
or
condemned
of
God
according
to
their
doings
,
and
according
to
the
end
and
intent
of
their
Hearts
in
their
Proceedings
;
but
many
others
are
mentioned
in
Semper
Iidem
,
who
suffered
and
were
put
to
Death
,
burned
and
killed
,
only
for
and
because
of
their
Principles
and
Practices
in
Religion
,
while
yet
they
lived
peaceably
,
and
were
of
a
harmless
Conversation
amongst
Men
;
the
Persecution
and
Death
of
such
,
upon
that
account
,
I
do
condemn
,
and
do
charge
it
to
be
Murder
in
the
sight
of
God
,
of
such
who
were
burned
and
destroyed
because
of
their
difference
in
Religion
from
the
Church
of
Rome
when
as
no
Unrighteousness
nor
Double-dealing
,
as
to
men
,
could
be
charged
and
proved
against
them
;
such
(
I
say
)
as
died
and
suffered
for
that
Cause
,
have
been
murdered
by
the
Power
of
Antichrist
among
the
Apostate
Christians
,
and
the
Blood
of
such
will
the
God
of
Heaven
avenge
one
time
or
other
.
Now
I
come
to
search
some
Particulars
,
which
are
stated
,
pag.

which
it
s
said
John
Wickliff
held
;
which
Doctrines
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
seems
to
say
are
Errors
,
by
his
condemning
such
for
Hereticks
as
held
them
for
Truths
.
THe
First
,
That
the
Sacrament
of
the
Altar
is
nothing
but
a
piece
of
Bread
.
This
the
Lollards
(
so
called
)
are
said
to
affirm
,
for
which
the
Papists
condemn
them
as
Hereticks
.
Answ.
As
for
the
Sacrament
of
the
Altar
,
so
termed
by
the
Papists
,
we
find
nothing
of
it
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
not
Sacrament
of
the
Altar
nominated
;
only
we
find
,
That
Christ
took
Bread
and
brake
it
,
and
gave
it
to
his
Disciples
;
not
as
Himself
,
for
He
only
gave
it
them
to
eat
in
remembrance
of
Himself
;
As
oft
as
ye
do
it
(
saith
Christ
)
do
it
in
remembrance
of
Me.
Where
it
is
manifest
,
that
there
is
a
distinction
to
be
made
,
and
a
separation
in
expression
to
be
put
between
that
Bread
which
Christ
gave
his
Disciples
to
eat
,
and
his
own
Body
;
for
they
were
to
eat
the
Bread
,
not
as
Him
,
but
in
remembrance
of
Him
:
and
this
shews
that
the
Bread
which
Christ
gave
his
Disciples
,
was
Bread
to
be
eaten
in
Remembrance
of
Him
;
and
so
it
is
no
Error
,
but
sound
Truth
to
affirm
,
That
the
Bread
called
the
Sacrament
of
the
Altar
by
the
Papists
,
is
but
indeed
a
piece
of
Bread
,
and
may
safely
so
be
called
:
But
suppose
it
were
Error
in
men
so
to
believe
and
say
;
yet
it
is
Murder
,
Cruelty
,
and
not
of
Christ
,
but
of
the
Wicked
One
,
so
to
deal
with
them
for
their
Error
sake
,
as
before-mentioned
.
Doct.
2.
That
Priests
have
no
more
Authority
to
administer
Sacraments
then
Lay-men
;
Held
by
the
Lollards
;
Condemned
as
a
great
Error
by
the
Papists
.
Answ.
As
for
the
Name
and
Order
of
Priests
,
we
find
none
such
among
the
Apostles
in
the
Christian-Churches
in
their
dayes
;
Pastors
,
and
Ministers
,
and
Prophets
,
and
Teachers
we
find
,
but
not
Priests
by
that
Name
,
as
a
particular
Order
of
Men
in
the
Church
,
saving
that
all
the
Saints
are
called
Kings
and
Priests
unto
God
;
neither
do
we
find
such
a
thing
,
As
consecrating
a
piece
of
Bread
into
a
more
holy
quality
then
it
was
in
it self
before
;
nor
any
Commision
given
by
Christ
to
a
particular
Order
of
Men
,
to
administer
Bread
to
the
People
as
his
Body
;
we
read
that
the
Saints
brake
Bread
when
they
were
met
together
,
and
some
time
from
House
to
House
,
but
that
there
were
particular
Persons
by
an
Office
among
them
,
that
did
administer
the
Bread
in
the
Form
and
Manner
as
among
Papists
,
we
read
not
of
this
in
all
the
Scriptures
;
And
as
for
Lay-men
as
Papists
term
them
,
this
word
we
have
not
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
but
Saints
we
have
of
divers
growths
;
but
the
Papists
have
made
many
Inventions
of
Offices
,
Titles
,
and
Names
in
their
Church
,
for
which
they
have
no
Example
at
all
in
the
Scriptures
.

That
all
things
ought
to
be
in
Common
;
Opposed
by
Papists
as
a
great
Error
.
Answ.
It
is
a
great
question
what
signification
may
be
put
upon
the
Word
Common
;
so
I
shall
not
vindicate
for
Truth
the
Doctrine
as
it
lies
,
and
leave
the
Interpretation
of
the
Word
Common
to
my
Adversaries
,
and
so
I
pass
it
;
only
do
mind
that
it
is
said
in
the
Acts
,
That
they
that
believed
,
had
all
things
Common
;
Though
the
Word
Common
there
,
I
understand
not
Absolute
but
with
Restriction
.

That
it
is
as
lawful
to
Christen
a
Child
in
a
Tub
of
Water
at
home
,
or
in
a
Ditch
by
the
Way
,
as
in
a
Font-stone
in
the
Church
;
Opposed
by
the
Papists
as
a
great
Error
.
Answ.
As
for
the
Baptizing
of
Infants
,
by
dipping
or
sprinkling
,
and
calling
it
the
Baptism
into
the
Faith
,
and
into
the
Church
,
as
practised
and
held
by
the
Papists
,
we
have
cause
to
question
the
Lawfulness
of
the
Thing
in
it self
at
any
Place
;
For
we
find
no
Command
or
President
of
Christ
,
nor
among
his
Apostles
in
the
pimitive
Churches
,
for
this
thing
of
Christening
Infants
;
and
therefore
we
question
,
whether
the
Thing
in
it self
is
lawful
at
any
Time
or
Place
?
suppose
the
Papists
could
prove
the
Thing
lawful
,
and
that
it
ought
to
be
done
by
vertue
of
any
Command
or
Example
of
Christ
or
his
Apostles
,
then
again
we
question
,
why
not
as
lawful
to
be
done
at
any
other
Place
,
as
in
a
Font-stone
?
(
so
called
)
Of
what
holiness
or
purity
is
that
,
more
than
other
Places
?
and
of
whose
invention
is
it
of
all
the
Christians
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
seeing
we
find
nothing
at
all
of
it
in
the
Scriptures
?
But
suppose
the
Principle
to
hold
indeed
absolute
Error
,
the
Papists
yet
do
still
wickedly
in
racking
men
,
and
burning
them
because
thereof
.
Doct.
5.
That
it
is
as
lawful
at
all
times
to
confess
unto
a
Lay-man
as
to
a
Priest
;
Opposed
by
the
Papists
as
great
Error
.
Answ.
As
for
that
manner
and
form
of
Auricular
Confession
,
(
so
called
)
practised
among
the
Papists
,
we
have
no
Command
or
Example
for
it
in
all
the
Scriptures
;
only
the
Apostle
exhorted
to
confess
your
faults
one
to
another
;
but
no
mention
of
distinction
of
persons
,
as
if
there
was
an
Order
of
men
among
the
Saints
,
Ordained
for
Confession
to
be
made
unto
,
as
is
among
the
Papists
practised
:
But
such
kind
of
Inventions
are
among
them
,
and
all
that
gain-say
them
in
their
Wayes
must
be
burned
as
Hereticks
;
and
this
is
the
way
that
the
Papists
do
uphold
their
Religion
,
not
by
sound
Arguments
,
and
by
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
God
,
but
by
killing
such
as
will
not
Believe
,
and
Practise
as
they
do

it
is

the
Saints
of
Christ
,
that
have
Believed
in
the
Church
of
Christ
;
for
the
Church
was
in
Aquilla's
House
,
as
may
be
read
:
and
in
this
Church
of
Christ
,
wheresoever
come

,
is
the
Divine
,
Holy
,
Acceptable
Service
of
God

performed
in

in
the
Truth

And
as

,
builded
and
called
Churches

Chappels
,
which
Papists
have
builded
to
perform
their
Service
in
,
these
are
Idolatrous
Places

and
not
true
Churches
;
God
dwells
not
in
Temples
made
with
Hands

as
it
is

That
God
may
be
worshipped
and
served
as
well
in
any
Place

as
in
your
Churches

Chappels

and
that
such
Places
are
not
necessary
,
but
God
may
be
served
in
other
Places

This
is
no
Error
,
deserving
Fire

as
the
Papists
do
affirm
and
Practice

Doctrines

and

That
burying
in
the
Church-Yard
is
unprofitable
and
vain
.
That
Holy
Dayes
,
Instituted
by
the
Church
,
are
not
to
be
observed
and
kept
in
reverence
,
in
as
much
as
all
Dayes
are
alike
;
Opposed
by
the
Papists
as
Errors
.
Answ.
There
is
no
respect
of
Places
with
God
,
neither
are
the
Dead
more
or
less
acceptable
to
him
,
notwithstanding
the
Place
of
Burial
,
whether
it
be
on
the
Land
,
or
cast
into
the
Sea
,
if
occasion
so
happen
,
as
some
times
it
doth
;
The
Patriarchs
of
old
had
Places
appointed
and
purchased
for
Burial
of
their
Dead
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
among
the
Lord's
People
;
but
that
the
Church-yard
(
so
called
)
is
more
Holy
than
another
Place
,
as
the
Papists
do
account
,
This
we
believe
not
,
nor
can
it
be
proved
to
us
,
by
Scripture
or
sound
Reason
.
And
as
for
Holy
Dayes
instituted
and
observed
,
is
but
a
meer
Invention
of
the
Romish
Church
,
without
any
ground
from
the
Apostles
,
and
it
is
no
sin
against
God
not
to
observe
them
,
and
all
dayes
are
as
to
God
alike
holy
in
His
sight
,
without
respect
of
one
or
another
;
And
for
the
Papists
to
invent
Practices
,
without
Example
in
the
Scriptures
,
as
Religious
,
and
then
to
impose
them
by
force
upon
all
People
,
and
to
kill
and
burn
such
as
Hereticks
,
as
cannot
conform
thereunto
;
How
Impious
,
Oppressive
,
and
Antichristian
this
manner
of
work
is
,
let
all
sober
,
People
judge
?
And
this
is
but
a
mocking
of
God
,
for
the
Papists
to
profess
Holy
Dayes
,
and
with
a
pretence
of
God's
Worship
to
observe
them
as
Holy
,
when
as
more
Rudeness
,
Drunkenness
,
Wantonness
,
and
Ungodliness
is
usually
committed
that
Day
,
which
they
profess
to
keep
Holy
,
than
is
on
the
other
dayes
beside
;
And
this
is
manifest
to
all
People
,
that
thus
the
Papists
do
mock
God
in
their
exercise
of
keeping
Holy
Dayes
.

That
no
Humane
Lawt

Answ.
It
is
sufficient
to
believe
in
Iesus
Christ

and
that
Believing
is
a
good
Work
,
and
if
a
man
truly
believes
,
he
cannot
but
bring
forth
by
that
Faith
good
Works
;
and
it
is
impossible
for
a
true
Believer
in
Christ
,
but
to
do
good
Works
;
if
a
Man
do
no
good
Works
,
he
is
not
a
Believer
;
For
Faith
without
Works
is
dead

and
that
is
no
true
Belief
,
which
is
without
good
Works

and
a
Christian

one
that
is
truly
so

is

do

Christians

Rich

in
no

follow

This

God
gave

all

The
Grace

God
which
brings
Salvation

hath
appeared

all
men

Grace
teacheth
the

deny
all
Ungodliness

the
Wicked
turn
the
Grace
of
God
into
Wantonness

the
true
Knowledge
of
God
is
given
but
to
a
few
;

not
many
Wise
men
after
the
flesh
are
called

God
chooseth
the
Poor
and
Contemptible
(
as
saith
Paul
)
to
confound
the
Wise
and
Mighty
of
this
World

God
gives
Knowledge

That

All
in
the
true
Church

that
are
of

may
Prophesie
and
Speak
in
the
Church
one
by
one
(
as
Paul
saith
,
without
distinction
of
Titles
,
such
as
the
Papists
use

Clergy
,
and
Lay-men

such
like
Terms
of
their
own
Inventions

without
Example

Apostle
saith

If
any
thing

another
that
standeth

let
the
first
hold
his
Peace
;
for
ye
may
all
Prophesie
one

,
As
every
man
hath
received
of
the
Gift
of
the
Spirit
,
let
him
administer
the

one
to
another

Thus
it

the
Scriptures
,
That
every
Member
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
may
Preach
by
the
Authority
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
as
that
moveth
and
leadeth
;
and
this
was
the
Example
of
the
holy
men
of
God

declared
in
Scriptures

Elisha
,
that
was
a
Plow-man
,
and
Amos
,
that
was
a
Herds-man

and
Peter
,
that
was
a
Fisher-man

these

and
such
as
these
,
whom
the
Papists
would
have
called
Lay-men
,
did
Preach
and
Teach
without
any
Licence
from
men

as
the
Lord
Commanded
them
,
who
said
,
Ier.
23.
He
that
hath
my
Word

let
him
speak
my
Word
faithfully

this
without

Persons

without
distinction
of
Names
of
Lay-men

otherwise

though
contrary

the

limit
the

such

whom

all
Religion
,
and
might
only
Preach
,
and
all
besides
themselves
might
be
in
Ignorance
,
and
know
nothing
,
nor
can
be
fit
to
speak
of
the
Matters
of
God's
Kingdom
;
which
is
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
Example
of
Saints
in
former
Ages
.
As
for
the
13th
and
14th
Doctrines
,
about
Baptism
of
Infants
,
I
have
spoken
somewhat
to
it
in
my
Answer
to
the
fourth
Doctrine
;
so
here
I
pass
them
.
Then
Semper
Iidem
goes
on
,
and
saith
,
Who
sees
not
among
these
the
principal
Tenets
of
our
Anabaptists
,
Fifth-Monarchy-Men
,
Levellers
and
Quakers
,
&
c
?
Answ.
As
for
the
Anabaptists
,
Fifth-monarchy-men
and
Levellers
(
so
called
)
I
shall
not
now
plead
their
Cause
,
but
shall
leave
it
to
themselves
,
to
do
it
against
Semper
Iidem
;
neither
shall
I
condemn
them
with
him
,
or
justifie
them
against
him
.
But
as
for
the
Quakers
(
so
called
)
I
have
a
few
word
to
plead
for
them
,
against
their
Adversaries
,
though
I
shall
be
brief
at
this
time
;
They
are
neither
Rebellious
,
Seditious
,
Hereticks
,
nor
Phanaticks
,
though
accused
at
this
time
of
these
things
,
and
accounted
by
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
as
such
;
though
neither
he
,
nor
any
of
their
false
and
envious
Accusers
,
that
have
ever
risen
against
them
,
can
prove
any
such
matter
,
nor
ought
against
them
,
saving
That
they
are
an
Innocent
and
Harmless
People
towards
all
people
;
and
though
Sufferers
by
Injustice
and
Cruel
Imprisonments
under
all
Authorities
,
yet
not
Rebellious
nor
Seditions
against
any
,
but
Peaceable
and
Quiet
under
all
;
this
is
their
Practice
since
they
were
a
People
.
And
as
for
their
Principles
of
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
Doctrine
and
Religion
,
they
are
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
Example
of
the
Saints
in
former
Ages
,
and
not
ever
yet
convicted
by
any
,
either
Protestants
or
Papists
,
of
Error
,
False
Iudgment
,
or
Heresie
;
though
all
manner
of
Evil
hath
been
spoken
against
them
in
that
Case
,
yet
never
to
this
day
truly
detected
,
or
reprehended
concerning
the
same
:
And
they
desire
no
better
way
to
be
made
manifest
in
their
Doctrines
,
and
to
be
approved
or
disproved
therein
through
the
World
,
than
to
have
free
Egress
and
Regress
among
the
Papists
and
Protestants
,
and
all
others
in
the
Way
of
sober
Arguments
and
Disputations
,
and
Reasoning
out
the
Truth
of
what
they
hold
and
profess
;
and
if
they
can
possibly
be
convicted
,
that
their
Way
,
and
Doctrines
and
Religion
are
not
found
Verities
,
but
Errors
,
then
it
is
time
to
forsake
them
:
But
all
the
Persecution
,
that
is
already
,
or
can
be
acted
upon
them
,
will
never
make
them
change
their
Minds
till
Death
,
nor
renounce
the
things
which
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
Hearts
doth
bear
witness
to
the
truth
of
.
And
therefore
let
the
Church
of
Rome
lay
down
her
Cruel
Weapons
of
Persecution
,
by
Burning
and
Destroying
of
such
as
differ
from
them
in
Religion
,
and
let
her
admit
of
Disputations
and
sound
Arguments
,
to
uphold
her self
thereby
if
she
be
able
,
and
to
Confute
and
Convince
such
as
are
contrary
minded
to
her
,
even
the
Quakers
(
so
called
)
if
she
can
;
and
let
her
cease
her
Fire
and
Faggot
,
and
Inquisition-Disputation
of
Murders
and
Cruel
Tortures
against
such
whom
she
calls
Hereticks
;
and
let
her
appear
in
the
soundest
Arguments
of
Reason
,
and
Scripture
,
and
Antiquity
,
that
she
can
adorn
her self
withal
;
and
the
Quakers
(
so
called
)
will
not
doubt
nor
fear
to
advance
towards
her
,
and
meet
her
,
and
answer
her
in
the
same
,
for
the
true
and
legal
Tryal
of
both
;
that
all
the
World
may
see
and
understand
the
difference
between
these
two
,
and
whether
the
Papists
Religion
or
the
Quakers
Religion
is
of
more
Reason
,
Verity
and
Antiquity
;
and
the
Quakers
are
willing
to
try
this
Case
with
the
Papists
,
engaging
upon
the
adventure
of
certain
Proof
or
Disproof
of
their
Religion
,
in
the
view
of
the
whole
World
.
And
this
is
the
most
I
shall
say
at
present
on
their
behalf
,
and
in
the
mean
time
,
till
this
be
performed
,
let
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
all
her
Members
,
cease
to
persecute
and
accuse
such
,
whom
they
know
not
,
but
by
the
Evil
Reports
of
others
;
and
the
Tenets
and
Principles
of
the
Quakers
(
so
called
)
will
be
justified
,
where
the
false
Christians
cannot
stand
nor
appear
in
Judgment
.

The
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
complains
of
some
Phanaticks
,
as
he
calls
them
,
that
nick-name
what
they
dislike
;
saith
he
,
They
call
the
Church
,
a
Steeple-House
;
the
Surplice
,
a
Rag
of
Popery
;
the
Organs
,
Grumbling-Pipes
,
&c.
Answ.
As
for
the
True
Church
,
it
is
in
God
,
1
Thes.
1.
The
People
of
God
,
that
are
regenerated
and
sanctified
,
wheresoever
come
together
,
are
the
true
Church
of
Christ
;
for
the
Church
was
in
Aquilla's
House
,
as
it
is
written
:
So
that
it
is
the
People
that
are
the
Members
of
Christ
,
the
true
Church
,
and
not
the
House
or
Place
wherein
they
assemble
at
any
time
.
And
as
for
calling
the
publick
Meeting
Places
(
which
some
call
Churches
)
Steeple-Houses
,
this
is
no
Error
;
for
the
Form
,
Fashion
and
Service
of
the
Place
prove
it
to
be
so
;
A
great
House
,
made
of
Wood
and
Stone
,
and
a
Steeple
with
Bells
in
it
erected
at
the
End
of
the
House
,
may
properly
be
called
a
Steeple-House
,
without
Error
;
and
cannot
at
all
be
called
a
Church
,
but
in
Error
.
And
as
for
the
Surplice
,
which
the
Priests
put
on
,
this
is
without
Question
an
Invention
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
because
there
is
no
such
thing
in
the
New
Testament
,
nor
was
there
any
Surplices
worn
by
any
of
the
Ministers
of
Christ
in
the
Apostles
dayes
;
but
is
an
Invention
,
introduced
into
the
World
by
the
Church
of
Rome
;
and
so
is
,
and
may
be
called
A
Piece
or
Rag
(
if
you
will
)
of
Popery
.
And
as
for
Organs
,
and
the
Practice
of
them
,
as
held
forth
for
the
Worship
of
God
,
there
was
no
such
thing
among
the
Apostles
,
neither
did
the
Saints
of
the
Primitive
Church
hold
forth
the
Worship
of
God
by
playing
on
the
Organs
;
but
the
true
spiritual
Gospel-Worship
is
more
heavenly
and
spiritual
,
even
in
the
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
is
God
worshipped
,
as
Christ
said
;
and
not
by
outward
Musick
,
on
Organs
,
and
such
like
;
but
this
is
also
an
Invention
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
:
And
Organs
having
Pipes
of
different
sounds
,
may
be
called
Grumbling-Pipes
without
Offence
.

It
is
charged
as
a
great
Error
in
some
,
that
held
,
It
was
not
lawful
for
a
Christian
to
take
an
Oath
.
Answ.
To
deny
all
Swearing
,
and
taking
of
Oaths
,
is
according
to
the
Doctrine
and
Command
of
Christ
Jesus
,
who
hath
said
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
so
it
s
manifest
,
that
the
false
Christians
accuse
and
condemn
such
for
Hereticks
as
abide
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
keep
his
Commands
:
And
thus
both
Papists
and
Protestants
are
found
in
Error
and
Heresie
themselves
,
and
breaking
the
Command
of
Christ
,
and
walking
contrary
to
his
Doctrine
,
in
Swearing
and
taking
Oaths
,
and
condemning
such
as
Hereticks
as
cannot
take
an
Oath
for
Conscience
sake
;
and
so
such
as
refused
to
take
any
Oath
,
walked
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
;
and
such
walked
contrary
to
his
Doctrine
as
did
condemn
them
.
And
thus
it
is
manifest
,
that
Papists
and
false
Christians
are
fallen
from
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
are
calling
Good
Evil
,
and
Evil
Good
,
and
putting
Light
for
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
for
Light
;
for
they
account
such
as
will
take
Oaths
,
and
Swear
,
good
Christians
,
who
are
Breakers
of
the
Commands
of
Christ
;
and
such
as
abide
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
cannot
take
any
Oath
,
but
keep
the
Commands
of
the
Gospel
,
they
are
accounted
Erronious
,
and
Hereticks
,
and
such
like
.
And
whereas
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
hath
censured
,
judged
and
condemned
in
his
work
,
Iohn
Wickliff
and
Iohn
Lambert
,
Thomas
Evison
and
Iohn
Waddow
,
William
White
,
Cornelius
Bunge
,
Iohn
Maundrel
,
Iohn
Trankerfield
,
George
Eagles
,
Hugh
Latimer
,
Bishop
Granmer
,
and
Bishop
Ridley
,
Thomas
Hawkes
,
Richard
Woodman
;
all
of
whom
were
Martyred
and
put
to
Death
,
because
they
dissented
from
,
and
denyed
the
Papists
Religion
:
these
by
name
,
with
a
great
many
more
,
this
nameless
Author
,
with
whom
I
am
now
dealing
,
hath
condemned
for
Hereticks
and
Erronious
Persons
,
and
made
void
,
as
much
as
in
him
lies
,
their
Blood
,
and
justified
the
Papists
in
putting
of
them
to
Death
.
Now
every
particular
Case
of
these
particular
Men
,
that
he
hath
named
and
accused
as
Phanaticks
and
Hereticks
,
I
shall
not
seek
to
shew
or
demonstrate
,
so
as
to
justifie
every
man's
particular
Case
against
this
nameless
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
:
but
this
is
evident
,
That
these
men
are
reputed
by
Fox
,
in
his
Monuments
,
as
MARTYRS
of
JESUS
;
and
they
have
been
reputed
in
England
,
for
many
years
as
such
;
and
have
been
held
of
great
Estimation
,
and
have
been
accounted
as
the
Fathers
of
the
Protestant-Church
:
and
my
Judgment
of
them
is
this
,
That
their
Death
generally
was
for
the
Testimony
of
Jesus
,
and
because
of
their
Faithfulness
in
denying
the
Church
of
Rome
;
for
I
do
believe
,
That
God
did
awaken
these
men
,
with
many
more
,
and
stir
up
their
Hearts
in
their
Day
against
the
Idolatries
and
Superstitions
of
the
Times
they
lived
in
,
and
many
of
them
were
sincere
men
,
according
to
their
Light
and
Knowledge
in
their
Day
;
though
I
shall
not
justifie
every
particular
man
in
every
particular
Part
and
Act
of
his
Faith
and
Conversation
,
but
shall
leave
that
at
this
time
reserved
in
mine
own
Heart
:
And
still
I
say
,
for
the
most
part
they
suffered
Innocently
on
their
part
,
and
without
Cause
,
and
Cruelly
,
Inhumanely
and
Unjustly
on
their
Enemies
part
;
and
they
Martyred
them
,
and
put
them
to
Death
by
Fires
and
Tortures
unrighteously
,
and
as
cruel
Murderers
on
their
part
that
Executed
them
.
And
in
asmuch
as
their
Sufferings
were
only
and
because
of
denying
the
Church
of
Rome
,
dissenting
from
her
,
and
denying
of
her
;
and
wherein
only
and
alone
their
Sufferings
were
in
this
Cause
,
and
for
this
End
,
they
suffered
as
Servants
of
God
;
though
,
as
I
have
said
,
I
shall
not
justifie
every
particular
man
of
them
in
his
whole
Faith
and
Conversation
.
And
for
a
further
Relation
of
these
Persons
,
who
were
put
to
Death
,
mentioned
by
my
Nameless
Author
,
whom
he
accuseth
for
Phanaticks
,
and
Hereticks
,
and
such
like
,
I
leave
it
to
be
read
in
Fox's
Acts
and
Monuments
,
where
it
may
be
read
concerning
the
Martyrdom
of
every
one
of
these
particular
men
,
with
their
Examinations
,
Tryals
and
Executions
,
as
they
are
reported
by
Fox
,
who
hath
alwayes
been
reputed
,
A
Faithful
Chronologer
of
the
Protestants
Cause
,
till
this
Semper
Iidem
seems
to
accuse
him
for
a
Lyar
,
and
false
Reporter
,
and
such
like
.
And
whether
the
People
of
England
have
not
better
cause
to
believe
his
Relation
of
these
Persons
,
than
they
have
to
believe
they
know
not
whom
,
viz.
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
;
a
Nameless
Author
,
who
hath
reviled
the
Protestants
Cause
,
and
accounted
the
Martyrs
and
faithful
Witnesses
thereof
Phanaticks
and
Hereticks
?
let
themselves
be
Judges
.
But
I
shall
leave
this
,
only
with
desire
,
that
these
men
whom
he
hath
named
,
their
particular
Cases
may
be
read
in
Fox's
Acts
and
Monuments
,
which
,
if
you
look
in
the
Table
at
the
end
of
the
second
Volumn
,
●ou
shall
find
the
mens
names
,
with
the
Pages
disciphered
,
where
their
Cases
〈◊〉
be
read
;
and
when
you
have
read
them
,
then
judge
whether
Semper
Iidem
hath
not
falsified
their
Cases
,
and
wickedly
reviled
them
by
the
name
of
Ancient
Phanaticks
;
thereby
seeking
to
supplant
the
whole
Protestant
Religion
,
and
all
that
dissent
from
the
Church
of
Rome
.
And
thus
much
in
brief
concerning
the
Martyrs
,
whom
in
the
14th
Page
,
Semper
Iidem
saith
,
That
a
notable
part
of
the
Sufferers
,
whom
Fox
makes
relation
of
,
were
Phanaticks
,
and
Sectaries
and
Mad
Saints
;
and
such
like
naughty
words
,
by
which
he
accuses
a
notable
part
(
these
be
his
words
)
which
is
the
chiefest
part
of
the
Martyrs
,
related
of
by
Fox
;
and
accuseth
Fox
himself
of
double
Injuries
in
his
Relation
,
in
that
he
hath
Canonized
Phanaticks
,
and
Sectaries
and
Mad
Saints
,
for
Saints
and
Martyrs
;
and
in
that
he
Reviled
and
Accused
Queen
Mary
,
and
the
Papists
in
those
dayes
,
of
greater
Persecutions
than
they
were
guilty
of
;
and
saith
,
They
did
no
more
than
Henry
the
Eighth
,
and
Edward
the
Sixth
,
and
Queen
Elizabeth
did
to
the
Papists
:
Thus
it
is
manifest
,
That
that
well
reputed
of
,
and
credited
Historian
,
Fox
,
is
reputed
a
Lyar
,
&
false
Reporter
&
so
the
Book
of
Martyrs
made
worth
nothing
,
and
Queen
Mary
&
the
Papists
justified
in
what
they
did
,
in
martyring
and
putting
to
Death
the
Protestants
in
their
days
;
and
also
,
Queen
Elizabeth
is
secretly
condemn'd
in
what
she
did
against
the
Papists
:
Oh
that
these
dayes
should
ever
appear
in
England
,
which
once
were
not
thought
of
!
These
things
are
published
and
suffered
in
this
Old
Government
,
newly
revived
;
Let
the
Protestants
of
England
take
notice
of
it
,
and
see
how
the
Records
of
their
Martyrs
are
made
null
,
and
of
none
effect
,
and
the
Martyrs
themselves
slandered
as
Phanaticks
,
and
the
Martyrers
justified
as
Righteous
in
what
they
did
;
and
these
things
published
and
proclaimed
up
and
down
London
.
These
things
I
cannot
but
observe
,
as
full
occasion
is
given
me
by
Semper
Iidem
,
How
that
the
Papists
Cause
seems
to
revive
,
and
to
lift
up
its
Head
again
in
England
,
in
vilifying
and
reproaching
the
Cause
of
all
the
Protestants
of
all
sorts
,
who
seemingly
begin
to
be
crow'd
over
again
,
and
the
Death
of
their
Martyrs
made
of
none
Effects
(
as
aforesaid
)
And
this
is
only
in
Love
towards
the
People
of
England
,
to
make
them
consider
what
attends
them
,
and
what
Invasion
is
coming
upon
them
,
if
it
be
not
prevented
;
not
that
I
wholy
justifie
the
Protestants
Cause
against
the
Papists
,
though
Semper
Iidem
pleads
,
That
Queen
Mary
did
no
more
to
the
Protestants
,
than
Henry
the
Eighth
,
Edward
the
Sixth
,
and
Queen
Elizabeth
did
to
the
Papists
:
as
the
one
Persecuted
,
Burned
and
Martyred
the
Protestants
,
so
the
other
did
Persecute
and
Destroy
the
Papists
;
by
which
he
would
reason
a
justification
of
Queen
Mary
and
the
Papists
,
by
the
Example
of
others
against
them
:
Now
I
say
,
The
Wickedness
of
one
will
not
justifie
the
Wickedness
and
Cruelty
of
the
other
;
for
neither
Party
of
them
are
justifiable
in
the
sight
of
God
,
but
condemnable
in
such
Proceedings
;
and
it
was
doubtless
of
Antichrist
and
the
Devil
in
both
Papists
and
Protestants
,
to
Destroy
and
Burn
one
another
only
for
and
because
of
Difference
in
Religion
;
and
wherein
the
Protestants
did
put
any
of
the
Papists
to
Death
,
only
for
and
because
of
Difference
in
Profession
and
Practice
in
Religion
,
and
because
they
were
Papists
,
herein
the
Protestants
were
acted
by
the
same
persecuting
spirit
of
the
Devil
,
as
the
Papists
were
acted
by
against
them
:
so
that
I
am
not
an
absolute
party
with
the
Protestants
,
against
the
Papists
;
for
I
know
that
there
is
Error
of
Judgment
amongst
them
,
both
in
Faith
,
Worship
and
their
whole
Religion
;
only
my
End
is
at
present
in
pursuing
Semper
Iidem
,
to
confound
his
Bloody
spirit
of
Persecution
and
Cruelty
,
which
I
find
him
possessed
withal
,
as
by
his
Discourse
is
apparent
;
and
also
,
to
put
the
Protestants
in
mind
how
their
cause
begins
to
be
Reproached
,
Vilified
and
Despised
,
even
in
their
own
Land
,
publickly
in
the
Streets
of
their
chief
City
,
which
hath
not
been
the
like
for
above
an
Hundred
Years
;
And
this
is
the
End
of
my
pursuing
Semper
Iidem
with
this
Answer
,
and
I
shall
not
much
enlarge
further
,
only
in
the
11th
Page
there
is
one
Passage
worth
observing
.
There
is
instanced
one
Richard
Woodman
of
Sussex
,
who
affirmed
,
That
he
had
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
can
prove
,
said
he
,
by
the
Scriptures
,
that
Paul
had
the
Spirit
of
God
,
as
I
my self
,
and
all
God's
Elect
have
.
Now
,
saith
Semper
Iidem
,
No
Arguments
nor
Reasons
could
reclaim
him
from
his
Errors
;
and
so
he
was
Burnt
at
Lewis
,
because
he
said
,
He
had
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
could
prove
that
Paul
had
it
.
Answ.
There
its
manifest
,
that
this
Martyr
suffered
for
Truth
and
Righteousness
sake
,
as
a
Saint
and
Servant
of
God
,
and
for
witnessing
the
Truth
according
to
the
Scripture
,
which
saith
,
If
any
man
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
he
is
none
of
his
;
which
is
manifest
in
the
Scriptures
,
that
all
that
are
Christ's
,
and
Members
of
his
Church
have
:
and
it
is
also
manifest
,
That
the
Papists
have
not
the
Spirit
of
God
,
because
they
Burn
such
as
do
witness
and
testifie
that
they
have
it
,
as
here
Semper
Iidem
hath
given
us
an
Instance
,
that
they
Burn
and
Destroy
such
for
Hereticks
as
say
,
they
have
the
Spirit
of
God
;
he
not
believing
that
Paul
had
it
,
but
saith
,
It
is
an
Error
to
affirm
it
:
and
yet
this
work
seems
now
to
be
justified
up
and
down
London
streets
,
which
is
the
double
Iniquity
,
and
that
which
once
many
looked
not
to
have
seen
,
that
any
being
condemned
and
burned
as
Hereticks
,
for
saying
,
They
had
the
Spirit
of
God
,
that
this
should
be
justified
now
in
these
Glorious
Dayes
of
Light
;
this
seems
almost
incredible
,
but
that
our
Eyes
behold
it
;
and
causeth
wonder
in
many
what
will
be
the
Effect
of
such
a
bad
sign
appearing
,
as
a
Justification
of
putting
to
Death
the
Innocent
for
no
other
Cause
,
but
in
that
he
affirmed
.
He
had
the
Spirit
of
God
.
And
by
this
we
learn
to
know
,
how
great
the
Ignorance
,
Darkness
and
Blindness
of
the
Church
of
Rome
is
,
and
deserveth
not
the
name
of
a
Church
,
if
they
be
all
of
this
mind
,
to
condemn
men
,
and
Burn
them
for
Hereticks
,
for
saying
,
They
have
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
then
an
Hundred
Years
after
justifie
the
doing
of
it
;
to
their
shame
and
confusion
let
this
be
rehearsed
,
who
have
themselves
denyed
that
they
have
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
Condemning
and
Destroying
others
for
saying
they
have
it
.
And
this
I
leave
to
the
Consideration
of
all
the
Protestants
,
who
must
either
deny
that
they
have
the
Spirit
of
God
,
or
be
Condemned
,
and
[
may
be
]
Killed
as
Hereticks
for
affirming
it
,
if
so
be
the
Church
of
Rome
recover
her
desired
Power
and
Pupose
in
England
.
It
s
worthy
to
be
minded
while
it
may
be
〈◊〉
,
lest
the
time
come
when
it
cannot
be
prevented
.
And
thus
I
have
run
through
the
main
part
of
Semper
Iidem
,
and
chiefly
hinted
at
the
principal
Matters
worthy
to
be
taken
notice
of
(
though
much
more
might
be
said
)
but
that
it
is
my
property
in
all
Cases
to
be
as
brief
as
may
be
;
for
that
is
the
best
for
the
Understanding
to
contain
what
is
spoken
or
written
:
only
shall
not
forget
William
Pryn
,
who
is
stated
in
pag.
18.
as
one
of
our
Modern
Phanaticks
;
I
would
not
forget
to
mind
him
,
I
say
,
to
answer
his
part
,
and
to
clear
himself
if
he
can
of
the
Aspertion
of
a
Phanatick
,
by
which
term
he
stands
reviled
,
though
Semper
Iidem
fawneth
upon
him
,
and
flattereth
with
him
,
and
telleth
him
,
He
is
the
only
Person
in
this
unhappy
Paralel
,
who
hath
given
Testimony
of
his
Reconcilement
:
But
what
better
is
William
Pryn
for
this
Flattery
?
I
hope
he
is
not
yet
reconciled
to
the
Papists
,
and
become
one
of
them
;
if
he
be
,
I
desire
he
would
let
us
know
it
;
and
if
he
be
not
,
then
Semper
Iidem
accounts
him
a
Phanatick
:
I
shall
say
no
further
,
but
shall
leave
him
to
answer
for
himself
.
And
now
,
last
of
all
,
for
Conclusion
,
I
have
some
CONSIDERATIONS
to
present
to
the
People
of
ENGLAND
,
and
particularly
to
the
People
of
LONDON
,
occasioned
by
the
Publication
of
Semper
Iidem
.
1.
COnsider
how
the
Ancient
Martyrs
,
as
Wickliff
,
Hawkes
and
Cranmer
,
Latimer
,
Ridley
,
with
many
more
,
who
have
been
accounted
by
the
Protestants
themselves
,
Famous
for
Piety
and
Faithfulness
,
and
Honourably
esteemed
Innocent
Martyrs
,
for
their
Witness-bearing
against
the
Romish
Idolatries
,
and
this
for
many
years
in
these
Kingdoms
;
how
,
I
say
,
they
are
now
rendred
Odious
and
Contemptible
,
and
Scorned
and
Slandered
as
Hereticks
,
seditious
factious
Blasphemers
,
and
Phanaticks
,
by
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
;
and
this
published
openly
through
the
Nation
,
and
up
and
down
the
Streets
of
London
,
and
this
without
rebuke
from
any
in
Authority
,
that
we
know
of
:
I
say
,
this
deserves
serious
Consideration
,
That
the
Faithful
Martyrs
in
their
Day
,
according
to
their
Knowledge
,
who
were
as
the
first
Fathers
of
the
Protestants-Church
(
so
called
)
and
did
lay
down
their
Lives
,
and
seal
their
Testimony
with
their
Blood
against
the
Idolatry
of
the
then
present
Times
;
and
the
Lives
and
Blood
of
these
Men
now
to
be
made
void
,
and
they
that
Martyred
them
justified
,
as
doing
of
Justice
,
and
they
now
reputed
Hereticks
and
Phanaticks
publickly
;
this
ought
to
be
considered
,
both
in
the
Cause
why
it
is
thus
,
and
in
the
Effect
of
it
,
if
it
be
not
restrained
.
2.
Consider
,
How
that
the
generality
of
the
People
of
England
and
London
are
reputed
,
and
stand
under
the
present
Reproach
of
being
Phanaticks
,
even
all
the
People
of
England
,
I
say
,
except
the
Papists
,
not
only
the
Separatists
from
the
Church
of
England
as
Quakers
,
Anabaptists
,
Independents
(
so
called
)
and
the
rest
,
but
the
Presbyterians
and
Episcopals
,
and
all
of
that
way
;
and
these
Professions
stand
in
Reputation
,
and
are
accounted
Phanaticks
and
Hereticks
,
even
William
Pryn
himself
;
and
this
is
manifest
by
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
,
who
hath
reviled
and
reproached
all
the
People
of
England
publickly
and
openly
:
For
,
seeing
the
Antient
Martyrs
,
the
Fathers
(
so
accounted
)
of
the
Church
of
England
are
villified
as
Phanaticks
,
Then
must
needs
follow
,
that
the
Church
of
England
,
even
in
the
way
of
Episcopacy
(
as
being
in
their
own
account
the
Successors
of
the
Martyrs
in
some
things
at
least
)
are
also
Phanaticks
and
such
as
Semper
Iidem
saith
,
the
Old
Phanaticks
were
:
for
the
men
being
reputed
Phanaticks
,
who
were
as
the
Fathers
,
then
needs
must
the
Children
be
the
same
;
and
this
deserves
serious
Consideration
by
the
Protestants
of
England
.
3.
Consider
how
the
very
Cause
it self
of
Protestants
in
this
their
long
Contest
for
these
many
years
,
with
,
and
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
is
now
weakened
,
and
even
,
as
it
seems
,
in
a
way
of
losse
and
decay
,
being
now
reproached
and
held
under
publick
scorn
in
England
by
Semper
Iidem
;
I
say
,
the
very
Cause
of
the
Protestants
is
new
struck
at
and
beat
against
,
and
sought
to
be
destroyed
,
being
already
defamed
and
reviled
,
as
appears
by
the
discourse
of
the
nameless
Author
,
who
hath
rendred
the
Antient
Martyrs
(
that
promoted
as
much
as
they
could
the
Protestants
Cause
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
dyed
for
it
,
many
of
them
sealing
the
Cause
with
their
Blood
(
as
Hereticks
,
Erroneous
Rebels
and
Phanaticks
,
and
hath
also
rendred
Fox
,
and
his
Acts
and
Monuments
,
who
hath
hitherto
in
England
been
counted
a
true
Reporter
and
Historian
of
the
PROTESTANTS
Sufferings
,
as
invalid
as
possible
,
even
that
he
is
a
Lyar
,
and
his
Chronology
Untruths
;
and
hath
justified
Queen
Mary
and
the
Papists
,
who
put
the
Martyrs
to
Death
.
And
these
things
considered
duly
and
justly
,
how
is
the
Protestants
Cause
it self
struck
at
,
and
weakened
,
and
as
it
were
,
the
very
Victory
given
to
the
Papists
against
the
Protestants
,
in
this
long
Quarrel
between
them
,
ever
since
Henry
the
Eighth's
dayes
,
and
long
before
?
4.
Consider
,
How
the
Papists
Cause
seems
to
be
reviving
in
England
,
and
how
bold
the
Members
of
the
Church
of
ROME
are
of
late
dayes
growing
,
as
to
appear
so
publickly
in
Print
,
justifying
their
own
Cause
as
good
;
as
Queen
Mary
,
and
the
Papists
in
her
dayes
,
in
Martyring
and
Burning
the
Protestants
,
and
condemning
the
Martyrs
of
the
Protestants
as
Hereticks
and
Phanaticks
:
This
,
I
say
,
is
great
Boldness
in
the
Papists
,
more
than
hath
been
for
this
Hundred
of
Years
,
and
a
Sign
of
a
Reviving
and
Recovering
of
their
Cause
more
than
hath
been
for
many
Years
,
who
durst
not
any
of
them
appear
so
publick
,
as
the
Author
of
Semper
Iidem
hath
done
,
with
that
Boldness
and
Courage
,
to
justifie
the
Papists
Cause
,
and
condemn
the
Protestants
:
For
,
if
such
a
Discouse
as
Semper
Iidem
had
been
brought
forth
and
published
in
the
dayes
of
Queen
ELIZABETH
,
which
were
Darker
Dayes
then
these
are
,
it
is
possible
it
would
not
have
been
suffered
to
be
cryed
up
and
down
LONDON
,
but
Restrained
and
Condemned
for
the
Fire
:
But
now
the
Papists
have
taken
Confidence
to
themselves
,
and
are
of
better
Hopes
than
formerly
,
even
that
they
shall
have
Fire
and
Faggot
again
,
and
to
Burn
and
Destroy
such
as
differ
and
dissent
from
them
,
whom
they
may
call
Hereticks
and
Phanaticks
.
And
this
I
observe
from
the
spirit
of
Semper
Iidem
.
3.
Consider
,
The
Nature
,
and
Constitution
,
and
Disposition
of
the
spirit
of
the
Church
of
ROME
,
how
that
it
is
not
Changed
,
but
the
self-same
that
ever
it
was
,
viz.
A
spirit
of
Murder
and
Cruelty
,
that
hath
Killed
and
Martyred
such
as
have
Differed
from
them
,
and
been
Contrary-Minded
in
Religious
Matters
;
and
it
would
work
and
bring
to
pass
the
same
still
,
if
it
had
its
Power
without
Limitation
in
ENGLAND
;
The
Papists
,
I
say
,
would
Burn
,
Kill
,
and
Torture
such
as
they
judge
Hereticks
,
and
all
that
cannot
Bow
,
and
Bend
,
and
Conform
to
their
Wayes
,
and
Injunctions
and
Religion
;
this
they
would
be
at
again
in
England
,
if
it
were
in
their
Power
,
as
it
was
heretofore
.
I
say
,
This
ought
to
be
considered
,
even
the
Cruelty
of
that
spirit
,
and
what
Danger
there
is
in
it
to
give
way
to
the
Exaltation
of
that
spirit
,
and
to
embrace
it
in
the
least
,
whereby
to
give
it
occasion
to
get
into
the
Power
and
Judgment-Seat
:
for
if
it
doth
,
then
Fire
and
Faggot
,
and
Killing
and
Burning
about
Religion
,
will
openly
appear
again
;
and
this
seems
to
be
manifest
by
the
Constitution
of
the
spirit
of
Semper
Iidem
,
which
may
give
Good
and
Wholsome
Cautions
,
that
the
spirit
of
the
Papists
is
still
a
Cruel
Spirit
,
and
would
Destroy
all
that
Differ
from
their
Way
,
if
they
had
Power
;
and
that
that
spirit
is
not
to
be
Hugged
and
Embraced
,
nor
set
highest
,
lest
the
Effect
of
it
proves
Woful
to
England
,
by
bringing
forth
again
what
it
once
did
,
in
Renewing
Fire
and
Faggot
;
for
this
is
the
Disposition
of
the
spirit
of
the
Romish
Church
,
as
is
apparent
by
Semper
Iidem
.
6.
Consider
how
Careful
and
Vigilant
the
People
of
England
ought
to
be
,
to
wait
and
attend
the
Motions
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
lest
it
insinuate
it self
into
Authority
,
and
get
its
intended
Advantage
and
Purpose
against
the
Protestants
and
their
Cause
,
and
advance
it self
against
them
,
and
promote
its
own
Interest
,
and
Destroy
and
overturn
theirs
:
For
,
without
all
Controversie
,
that
same
spirit
is
now
at
work
to
agitate
its
Desires
,
and
according
to
its
old
course
,
its
Hatching
and
Contriving
how
to
promote
it self
,
and
destroy
all
that
's
contrary
;
it
is
Undermining
and
secretly
Surmizing
its
Opponents
Overthrow
,
that
it self
may
be
exalted
:
For
that
spirit
is
diligent
in
its
way
,
to
take
the
least
Occasion
for
its
Self-advantage
,
as
is
manifest
by
Semper
Iidem
;
and
therefore
the
People
of
England
ought
also
to
be
Careful
and
Diligent
in
their
Cause
,
to
Preserve
themselves
and
their
Interest
from
the
defeat
of
the
Church
of
ROME
;
and
they
ought
to
watch
against
that
spirit
,
to
keep
it
in
subjection
under
Authority
and
Command
,
and
not
to
exalt
it
into
Command
over
them
,
lest
they
be
subjected
to
the
Idolatries
,
and
Oppressions
and
Persecutions
of
that
spirit
to
their
own
Destruction
,
both
of
Persons
,
Estates
,
and
Religion
;
for
that
spirit
will
attempt
alwayes
to
Rule
,
and
if
it
Rule
,
then
will
follow
consequently
,
An
Utter
Overthrow
of
the
Protestants
PERSONS
and
CAUSE
that
will
be
the
Effect
of
the
Authority
of
it
,
though
it
bear
hand
in
hand
in
seeming
Love
and
good
Agreement
with
the
Protestants
,
till
it
hath
gained
its
desired
end
over
them
,
which
is
,
To
promote
it self
,
and
subdue
by
Burning
and
Cruel
Tortures
all
that
which
is
contrary
to
it
.
Let
the
People
of
ENGLAND
consider
this
Matter
,
now
while
it
is
time
,
and
be
Watchful
over
the
Motions
of
that
spirit
,
and
not
put
Confidence
in
it
too
far
,
nor
to
commit
too
much
Credit
upon
it
,
even
as
they
love
their
own
Safety
and
Peace
,
which
are
concerned
in
this
Case
.
7.
Consider
,
Into
what
a
great
Danger
the
Protestants
and
People
of
England
have
run
themselves
,
by
●●ecing
from
a
less
;
for
,
by
avoiding
the
Secta●●es
(
so
called
)
they
have
run
themselves
into
the
very
Borders
of
Popery
;
and
to
escape
a
Less
Danger
,
they
have
exposed
themselves
to
a
far
Greater
:
For
the
Protestants
cryed
out
of
the
Sectaries
,
and
were
afraid
their
Church
and
Religion
should
be
overthrown
by
them
,
and
made
haste
to
Escape
and
flee
from
the
Danger
,
and
in
so
doing
they
have
(
as
it
appeareth
by
Semper
Iidem
)
run
themselves
into
a
Danger
far
greater
,
Even
to
have
their
Religion
,
and
Persons
and
Estates
Destroyed
by
Fire
and
Faggot
,
if
the
spirit
that
indicted
Semper
Iidem
hath
its
desired
End
,
which
is
grown
Bold
and
Confident
,
more
than
formerly
:
Thus
,
while
the
Protestants
have
sought
to
destroy
the
Sectaries
,
an
Enemy
is
appearing
to
Destroy
them
;
and
they
have
exposed
themselves
(
if
Popery
prevails
)
to
an
Enemy
far
more
Cruel
and
Dectructive
to
both
their
Persons
,
Estates
and
Religion
,
than
ever
the
Sectaries
would
have
been
,
had
they
prevailed
?
And
this
is
considerable
to
the
Protestants
,
that
they
may
lament
their
case
,
who
have
run
themseles
into
a
far
greater
Danger
of
their
own
Destruction
to
escape
a
less
,
and
are
in
present
Reproach
by
the
Papists
,
and
exposed
to
Destruction
if
they
prevail
.
8.
Consider
,
How
Favourable
the
Church
of
ROME
seemeth
to
grow
of
these
late
dayes
in
these
Kingdoms
;
and
what
Dignity
she
seems
to
have
attained
to
,
besides
of
Times
past
;
and
what
Liberty
she
enjoyes
,
more
than
many
of
the
good
Subjects
of
England
,
which
may
as
justly
have
the
Priviledge
of
Liberty
in
their
Exercise
of
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
Religion
,
as
she
can
have
:
As
for
instance
,
In
Ireland
,
where
the
Papists
have
the
Enjoyment
of
their
Liberty
to
Meet
to
hear
Mass
very
frequently
,
and
are
not
Restrained
nor
Prohibited
;
and
many
of
the
English
Inhabitants
,
known
Faithful
Protestants
,
are
not
admitted
the
like
Liberty
,
but
their
Meeting
broken
up
,
and
they
sent
to
Prison
,
and
Cruelly
Persecuted
for
Meeting
together
,
when
the
Papists
are
not
meddled
withal
for
the
same
Cause
;
and
thus
their
Cause
seems
more
to
be
favoured
than
the
Protestants
,
and
they
more
Liberty
in
their
Worship
than
many
of
the
English
Protestants
.
And
also
,
In
and
about
London
,
upon
search
,
you
will
find
Meetings
of
the
Papists
,
large
ones
too
,
consisting
of
very
many
Forreigners
of
other
Lands
,
which
have
their
Liberty
of
Worship
and
Profession
of
Religion
;
and
divers
of
the
Inhabitants
of
the
City
,
who
have
been
and
are
Known
;
Upright
,
Honest
and
Just
Persons
,
and
are
true
Protestants
,
and
faithful
Subjects
of
the
Land
,
are
not
admitted
to
have
their
Meetings
,
but
are
haled
out
of
Meetings
,
Persecuted
,
and
sent
to
Prison
,
and
cruel
Sufferings
inflicted
upon
them
,
for
the
Exercise
of
their
Faith
and
Worship
;
whenas
the
Papists
are
admitted
their
Liberty
,
without
Persecution
,
in
the
same
Cause
for
which
many
good
Protestants
are
Persecuted
,
and
not
suffered
to
have
their
Liberty
,
even
in
the
Exercise
of
their
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
this
is
manifest
to
all
People
;
by
which
it
is
plain
,
how
the
Papists
Cause
is
advancing
,
and
the
Protestants
Cause
decaying
in
LONDON
,
and
through
ENGLAND
;
whenas
the
Papists
,
and
that
Forreigners
,
have
more
Liberty
in
the
Exercise
of
their
Religion
,
then
some
Protestants
have
that
are
Natives
,
and
known
to
be
good
Subjects
:
And
these
things
deserve
true
and
serious
Confideration
by
all
good
Protestants
;
Alas
that
this
day
should
be
seen
!
Many
more
Considerations
might
be
asserted
in
this
Case
,
of
the
Papists
Cause
being
as
it
were
reviving
;
but
these
for
present
are
presented
to
the
publick
View
of
all
People
:
And
blessed
are
they
that
have
an
Ear
to
hear
.
E.
B.
THE
CASE
OF
Free
Liberty
OF
CONSCIENCE
In
the
Exercise
of
FAITH
and
RELIGION
,
Presented
unto
the
KING
and
both
Houses
of
PARLIAMENT
:
And
also
Proved
absolute
Needful
and
Requisit
for
them
to
Grant
and
Allow
in
these
Kingdoms
;
by
many
Considerations
and
Reasons
unfolding
the
Woful
Effects
and
Ill
Consequence
which
will
infallibly
follow
upon
the
contrary
,
to
the
Misery
and
Destruction
of
these
Nations
,
if
the
Free
Exercise
of
Conscience
to
God-ward
be
Limitted
and
Violently
Restrained
.
FOrasmuch
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
(
who
is
Mighty
and
Powerful
,
and
bringeth
to
pass
whatsoever
he
will
in
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
)
so
to
suffer
it
to
be
accomplished
,
that
Power
and
Authority
is
given
unto
you
,
to
exercise
over
these
Kingdoms
;
And
whereas
the
People
of
these
Nations
(
over
whom
your
Authority
is
extended
)
are
divided
in
their
Judgments
in
Matters
Spiritual
,
and
are
of
different
Principles
and
Wayes
in
relation
to
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
Practices
of
Religion
;
and
yet
are
all
of
them
Free-born
People
,
and
Natives
of
these
Kingdoms
;
and
as
such
ought
to
possess
and
enjoy
their
Lives
,
Liberties
and
Estates
by
the
Just
Laws
of
God
and
man
;
And
may
not
justly
any
of
them
be
Destroyed
by
you
,
nor
one
sort
of
another
,
in
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
by
Death
,
Banishment
,
or
other
Persecutions
,
for
and
because
only
of
their
Differences
in
Matters
of
Opinion
and
Judgment
;
nor
though
they
are
contrary
minded
in
Profession
of
Faith
and
Worship
and
Religion
,
while
they
do
walk
Peaceably
and
Justly
in
their
Conversations
,
under
the
King's
Authority
,
and
do
not
make
practice
of
their
Religion
to
the
violating
of
the
Government
,
nor
to
the
Injury
of
other
mens
Persons
or
Estates
;
but
ought
rather
to
be
Defended
and
Protected
by
you
in
all
their
Rights
,
both
as
Men
and
Christians
,
both
in
things
Civil
and
Spiritual
,
Notwithstanding
their
difference
in
matters
Religious
as
aforesaid
,
they
giving
proof
of
their
peaceable
and
honest
deportment
towards
the
King
and
his
Government
,
and
the
people
of
these
Kingdoms
.
And
therefore
that
due
care
may
be
had
,
as
justly
it
ought
to
be
by
you
,
for
the
peace
and
Prosperity
and
happiness
of
these
Kingdoms
,
and
that
the
just
Liberties
both
civil
and
Spiritual
of
all
people
therein
,
may
be
allowed
and
maintained
in
all
the
Kings
Dominions
,
and
that
unity
and
peace
may
be
fully
established
,
and
justice
and
Righteousness
only
brought
forth
in
the
Land
,
and
all
persecution
,
Hatred
,
Contention
and
Rebellions
may
die
and
perish
and
never
more
appear
;
And
that
all
Christian
people
(
though
different
in
Judgement
and
practises
in
matters
of
Faith
and
worship
)
may
be
protected
to
live
a
quiet
and
peaceable
life
in
all
Godliness
and
honesty
under
this
Government
and
that
indignation
and
vengeance
may
be
diverted
from
these
Lan●●
,
which
seems
to
threaten
because
of
the
contrary
,
and
that
blessings
and
peace
ma●
come
,
and
rest
upon
this
people
forever
.
Therefore
for
these
ends
and
causes
,
and
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
I
do
propound
unto
you
,
and
lay
before
you
on
the
behalf
of
all
the
divided
people
of
these
Kingdoms
,
That
free
Liberty
of
conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Faith
,
Worship
and
Religion
to
God-wards
,
may
be
allowed
and
maintained
unto
all
,
without
any
imposition
,
violence
or
persecution
exercised
about
the
same
,
on
the
persons
,
Estates
,
or
Consciences
of
any
in
any
relation
to
Religion
,
the
Worship
of
God
,
Church
Government
and
Ministry
;
But
that
all
Christian
People
may
be
left
free
in
all
these
Kingdoms
,
in
the
exercise
of
Conscience
without
being
restrained
from
,
or
compelled
to
any
way
of
worship
and
practise
of
Religion
,
upon
any
pains
and
penalties
,
and
that
every
one
may
be
admitted
to
worship
God
in
that
way
as
his
spirit
perswades
the
heart
,
and
may
be
defended
in
such
their
profession
of
Religion
,
while
they
make
not
use
of
their
Liberty
to
the
detrement
of
any
other
mens
persons
or
Estates
as
aforesaid
.
And
let
it
not
seem
strange
to
you
,
why
I
appear
in
this
manner
and
matter
,
at
such
a
season
as
this
;
for
your
very
Happiness
,
prosperity
and
establishment
,
or
the
contrary
,
dependeth
hereupon
,
even
in
allowing
and
maintaining
liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Religion
,
or
in
limitting
and
forcing
and
persecuting
about
the
same
,
and
this
may
appear
if
you
justly
consider
these
things
following
.
1.
The
Lordship
in
and
over
conscience
,
and
the
exercise
thereof
in
all
matters
of
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
duty
to
God-wards
,
is
Gods
alone
only
and
proper
right
and
priviledge
,
and
he
hath
reserved
this
power
and
Authority
in
himself
,
and
not
committed
the
Lordship
over
Conscience
,
nor
the
exercise
thereof
,
in
the
cases
of
faith
and
worship
,
to
any
upon
Earth
,
not
to
perscribe
and
impose
principles
and
practises
of
Faith
and
worship
and
Religion
,
by
force
and
violence
on
the
persons
and
Consciences
of
men
,
but
this
belongs
only
to
God
,
even
to
work
faith
in
the
heart
,
and
to
convert
to
holiness
,
and
to
lead
and
teach
people
by
his
Spirit
in
his
worship
,
and
to
exercise
their
Consciences
in
all
his
wayes
;
For
the
Apostles
themselves
said
,
they
had
not
Dominion
over
the
Faith
of
the
Saints
,
2
Cor.
1.
24.
but
the
Lord
alone
.
And
King
Charles
the
first
,
said
in
his
Meditations
,
page
91.
of
that
Edition
Printed
for
R.
Royston
;
I
have
often
declared
,
how
little
I
desire
my
Laws
and
Scepter
should
intrench
on
God's
Soveraignity
,
which
is
the
only
King
of
men's
Consciences
,
&c.
So
that
to
be
Lord
in
CONSCIENCE
,
and
Exerciser
thereof
in
all
the
Matters
of
God's
Kingdom
,
is
his
Only
Proper
Right
,
and
to
him
alone
it
appertains
.
2.
And
therefore
consider
,
If
ye
do
not
allow
Free
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
give
unto
God
the
Lordship
and
Exercise
thereof
,
in
all
Matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
to
Him-wards
;
but
do
impose
by
Violence
in
forcing
to
,
and
restraining
from
such
and
such
Wayes
of
Religion
;
than
ye
take
Dominion
over
mens
Faith
,
which
ye
ought
not
to
do
;
and
ye
intrench
on
God's
Soveraignity
,
and
usurpe
his
Authority
,
in
exercising
Lordship
over
the
Conscience
,
in
and
over
which
Christ
is
only
King
,
as
before
recited
;
and
ye
ought
not
to
take
his
right
from
him
,
nor
to
exercise
that
Authority
over
ruens
Faith
and
Consciences
which
only
appertains
unto
him
,
as
his
proper
priviledge
;
for
in
so
doing
how
dangerous
effects
may
it
bring
forth
?
even
ye
may
easily
provoke
the
Lord
to
wrath
against
you
,
and
bring
upon
your selves
sorrow
and
misery
,
if
ye
exercise
violence
upon
mens
Consciences
in
and
concerning
Religious
matters
,
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
and
the
example
of
Primitive
Christians
who
were
persecuted
for
their
Conscience
sake
,
but
did
never
persecute
nor
punish
any
for
that
cause
,
nor
ever
used
violence
about
their
Religion
,
as
Charles
the
I.
in
his
meditations
pag.
82.
Nothing
(
said
he
)
violent
nor
injurious
can
be
religious
,
&c.
3.
Consider
,
if
ye
allow
not
the
free
exercise
of
Conscience
in
Spiritual
matters
,
but
do
take
Dommion
over
mens
faith
,
and
impose
by
violence
in
the
cases
of
Conscience
about
Religion
,
and
do
not
suffer
the
Lord
to
enjoy
his
only
right
to
be
King
,
in
the
matters
of
his
own
Kingdom
,
then
ye
divert
the
end
of
just
rule
and
government
among
men
,
and
pervert
the
end
of
Gods
great
love
and
favour
shewed
unto
you
in
restoring
of
you
to
the
place
of
Authority
and
Judgement
;
for
the
end
of
just
Government
upon
earth
by
Kings
and
Rulers
is
,
To
exercise
Justice
,
Truth
,
and
Righteousness
among
men
,
and
over
the
outward
man
,
and
to
be
a
praise
to
all
that
do
well●
and
walk
uprightly
,
and
to
be
a
terror
to
all
transgressors
,
and
them
that
do
evil
in
their
outward
man
,
and
to
keep
the
outward
man
in
good
order
by
just
Judgment
in
all
cases
between
man
and
man
;
This
is
only
the
extent
of
your
Authority
over
the
outward
man
,
and
to
your
Jurisdiction
only
this
belongs
,
to
judge
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
to
make
Laws
and
execute
them
between
man
and
man
,
to
preserve
mens
persons
and
estates
from
the
wrong
one
of
another
,
but
not
at
all
to
make
Laws
and
execute
them
between
God
and
mens
Consciences
in
the
cases
of
his
Spiritual
Kingdom
,
this
power
belongs
to
God
,
and
he
hath
not
committed
it
to
you
to
exercise
;
and
therefore
,
let
justice
,
equity
and
mercy
be
exercised
by
you
among
men
,
and
over
the
outward
man
,
and
in
all
cases
between
man
and
man
,
but
meddle
not
in
the
Cases
of
mens
faith
to
God
,
and
their
Consciences
to
him
,
but
leave
that
unto
him
alone
whose
right
it
is
,
for
it
is
dangerous
,
and
will
bring
wofull
effects
if
ye
intrench
on
Gods
Soveraignity
,
and
if
ye
divert
the
proper
end
of
just
Government
,
and
of
the
Love
of
God
in
restoring
you
into
Authority
and
power
.

Consider
if
ye
allow
not
free
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
profession
and
practice
of
spiritual
things
,
but
will
compel
by
violence
about
Religion
,
then
this
will
inavoidably
produce
and
bring
forth
cruel
persecution
in
the
Kingdoms
,
imprisonment
,
banishment
,
and
death
,
and
all
the
evil
effects
of
persecution
will
fill
the
Nations
;
for
though
never
so
forceable
impositions
be
laid
on
the
persons
,
estates
,
and
consciences
of
men
,
for
the
cause
of
difference
in
Judgment
,
and
practises
of
Religion
,
and
tocompel
into
Conformity
,
yet
it
cannot
be
supposed
that
all
will
bow
and
conform
to
the
denying
of
that
way
which
they
are
perswaded
in
Conscience
to
be
right
,
and
to
the
embracing
of
what
they
cannot
in
Conscience
believe
is
of
God
,
but
will
rather
suffer
the
cruelest
death
,
then
conform
to
any
thing
contrary
to
light
and
knowledge
;
and
if
free
Liberty
of
Conscience
be
denied
,
many
such
must
needs
be
exposed
to
Persecution
even
to
Death
,
though
they
may
be
Peaceable
People
,
and
profitable
Inhabitants
of
the
Kingdoms
,
and
in
the
things
between
man
and
man
,
and
in
all
matters
Temporal
pertaining
to
the
King
,
may
be
Just
,
and
Righteous
and
Unreprovable
;
yet
because
of
Difference
in
Judgment
and
Opinion
,
exposed
to
be
destroyed
in
person
and
estate
;
and
such
effects
will
not
be
of
honour
nor
saftey
to
these
Nations
if
innocent
and
just
men
be
destroyed
,
and
their
relations
ruined
,
only
for
their
Conscience
and
Religion
sake
,
by
persecution
.
5.
Consider
,
if
ye
do
impose
one
way
of
worship
by
force
,
and
persecute
all
that
are
contrary-minded
to
prison
and
death
,
then
how
shall
your
Names
and
memorial
be
left
a
reproach
to
Generations
after
you
,
in
dayes
to
come
;
who
shall
repute
you
cruel
men
and
persecutors
,
and
such
as
destroyed
your
people
for
difference
in
Matters
of
Religion
,
and
without
just
Cause
;
and
thus
will
your
Names
be
a
Curse
,
and
not
a
Blessing
,
to
your
Children
,
and
their
Children
to
all
Ages
,
if
that
ye
make
Laws
,
and
execute
them
to
the
Persecution
and
Destruction
of
People
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
for
difference
in
Religion
;
for
Persecution
was
never
of
God
,
nor
ever
justified
in
succeeding
Ages
;
but
Persecutors
alwayes
were
rendred
Tyrants
,
and
Cruel
in
the
Ages
succeeding
them
:
For
do
not
you
condemn
the
Papists
as
Oppressors
and
Cruel
Persecutors
in
Queen
Mary's
dayes
,
for
the
Persecuting
your
Fore-Fathers
?
And
K.
Iames
said
,
it
was
usually
the
Condition
of
Christians
to
be
persecuted
,
but
never
to
Persecute
,
&c.
in
his
Apology
for
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
,
page
4.
And
indeed
,
they
are
no
true
Christians
that
persecute
for
Matters
of
Conscience
,
and
Difference
in
Opinion
;
but
the
False
Christians
,
that
have
a
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
are
without
the
Power
,
and
out
of
the
Doctrine
of
the
Scriptures
,
who
say
,
Love
your
Enemies
,
and
render
not
Evil
for
Evil
;
but
overcome
evil
with
good
.
6.
Consider
,
If
ye
do
impose
upon
the
Conscience
,
and
persecute
about
Religion
,
ye
can
never
effect
your
End
thereby
,
as
to
force
all
into
a
Conformity
and
Uniformity
to
your
Church
and
Religion
;
but
though
Death
,
and
Banishment
,
and
the
Loss
of
all
be
inflicted
,
yet
such
a
thing
cannot
be
effected
,
neither
is
it
the
Way
of
Christ
to
promote
his
Church
,
and
to
convert
the
Contrary-minded
,
by
such
means
as
Force
and
Violence
exercised
on
mens
Persons
and
Estates
;
as
King
Iames
said
in
his
Speech
in
Parliament
,
1609.
That
it
is
a
sure
Rule
in
Divinity
,
That
God
never
loves
to
plant
his
Church
with
Violence
and
Blood
:
And
if
ye
do
persecute
to
the
heighth
in
the
Case
of
Religion
,
ye
will
weaken
your selves
,
and
cause
the
Love
and
good
Affection
of
the
People
to
die
towards
you
,
and
the
Persecuted
will
grow
,
and
their
Cause
be
made
Honourable
,
and
many
will
be
encreased
unto
it
;
for
it
is
usual
in
Ages
,
That
the
Way
and
Religion
which
hath
been
most
persecuted
,
hath
most
grown
;
and
thus
it
must
infallibly
be
at
this
day
,
and
ye
can
never
effect
your
End-by
Persecution
,
nor
promote
your
own
Church
,
nor
destroy
all
the
Contrary-minded
;
as
a
Privy-Counsellor
to
K.
Iames
the
5th
of
Scotland
,
advised
in
Counsel
about
the
year
1539.
upon
the
Occasion
of
diversities
of
Opinions
then
in
that
Kingdom
,
said
he
,
It
is
an
Error
of
State
in
a
Prince
,
for
an
Opinion
of
Piety
to
condemn
to
Death
the
Adherers
to
new
Doctrines
;
for
the
Constancy
and
Patience
of
those
who
voluntarily
suffer
all
Temporal
Miseries
for
Matters
of
Faith
,
stir
up
Numbers
,
who
at
first
,
and
before
they
had
suffered
were
ignorant
of
their
Faith
and
Doctrine
,
not
only
to
favour
their
Cause
,
but
to
embrace
their
Opinions
,
Pitty
and
Commiseration
opening
the
Gates
,
and
thus
their
Faith
is
spread
,
and
their
Number
daily
encreaseth
,
&c.
7.
Consider
,
If
that
ye
do
not
allow
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
but
do
Impose
,
and
Persecute
,
as
aforesaid
;
though
some
for
your
Fear
,
and
Terror
,
and
Force
against
their
Consciences
should
deny
their
Principle
,
and
conform
to
your
Church
,
such
ye
cause
to
sin
;
For
whatsoever
is
performed
by
Force
,
and
not
of
Faith
is
sin
,
as
it
is
written
,
and
such
their
sin
will
be
laid
to
your
Charge
;
and
such
who
cannot
deny
their
Principles
,
and
Conform
,
will
be
destroyed
,
and
their
Death
will
be
accounted
against
you
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
:
And
therefore
,
if
ye
do
not
allow
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
many
grievous
Evils
will
infallibly
follow
,
both
to
your selves
and
your
People
:
And
what
Advantage
of
Honour
will
such
be
to
God
and
your
Church
,
that
are
against
their
Consciences
and
Light
forced
into
a
Conformity
for
Fear
and
Terror
of
men
;
it
makes
them
manifold
more
the
Children
of
the
Devil
,
and
Time-Servers
,
and
Hypocrites
,
and
destroyes
their
Souls
;
and
such
can
be
no
true
Members
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
but
are
Reprobates
,
and
a
Dishonour
to
God
and
your
Church
.
8.
Consider
,
if
ye
constrain
and
compel
in
matters
of
Religion
,
and
do
not
●…low
liberty
of
Conscience
,
it
is
unreasonable
and
unequal
,
and
down-right
contrary
〈◊〉
the
Holy
and
pure
Law
of
God
,
which
saith
,
ye
shall
do
into
all
men
,
as
ye
would
that
men
should
do
unto
you
,
and
thou
shalt
love
they
neighbour
as
thy self
,
and
this
is
the
fulfilling
of
the
Law
;
But
to
be
imposed
upon
and
persecuted
for
the
case
of
Consciences
,
and
for
the
matters
of
Worship
of
God
,
your selves
would
not
willingly
be
against
your
Light
and
Knowledge
,
and
then
it
is
unequal
and
unjust
,
and
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
,
for
ye
to
do
the
same
to
others
,
which
your selves
would
not
be
done
unto
;
And
do
not
you
to
this
day
cry
out
against
the
Papists
in
Queen
Maries
dayes
,
and
at
this
day
in
other
Nations
,
and
condemn
them
as
Tyrants
and
Oppressors
,
for
Persecuting
,
Killing
,
and
Destroying
the
Protestants
,
for
the
matters
of
their
Conscience
and
difference
in
Opinion
and
Judgment
?
And
will
you
do
the
same
at
this
day
as
they
do
to
others
,
and
follow
their
example
of
cruelty
and
Persecution
,
and
break
the
Law
of
God
,
and
walk
contrary
to
it
,
in
doing
to
others
what
you
would
not
be
done
unto
?
And
seeing
you
condemn
the
late
fore-going
Powers
in
these
Kingdoms
for
Tyrants
and
Usurpers
,
and
Oppressors
,
for
prohibiting
your
way
of
Worship
,
and
commanding
the
contrary
,
and
disanulling
so
much
as
they
could
your
service
Book
and
Ministry
;
how
can
you
justly
do
the
like
to
others
,
as
to
force
Wayes
of
RELIGION
upon
them
,
and
prohibit
theirs
,
and
command
the
contrary
?
if
you
do
it
,
ye
condemn
your selves
by
judging
of
others
in
the
like
case
.
9.
Consider
if
ye
do
not
allow
liberty
of
Conscience
,
but
impose
Church
Government
and
Religion
by
pains
and
penalties
,
then
ye
will
fill
the
Land
with
Hypocrites
,
and
force
people
into
time-serving
obedience
,
and
into
formal
wayes
of
worship
,
some
against
their
Consciences
,
and
some
in
the
ignorance
thereof
,
which
is
great
abomination
unto
the
Lord
,
and
such
will
neither
be
true
and
faithfull
in
Church
nor
State
,
but
will
seek
advantages
against
you
(
if
they
are
forced
by
violence
in
the
cases
of
their
Consciences
)
and
it
will
beget
great
contentions
and
hatred
in
the
minds
of
men
,
and
divide
the●
into
heart-burnings
one
against
another
,
and
against
you
and
your
Government
;
for
if
men
become
Hypocrites
for
your
fear
and
terror
and
deny
their
professed
Principles
and
conform
,
they
will
be
false-hearted
,
and
Envious
,
and
Malicious
,
and
attempt
any
thing
to
be
freed
from
Bondage
and
Impositions
of
Conscience
,
and
their
Hearts
will
be
dis-engaged
in
Love
and
Affection
to
you-wards
;
and
this
will
be
infallibly
the
Effect
of
Persecution
for
Conscience
sake
,
as
King
Charles
the
first
saith
in
his
Meditations
,
A
charitable
Connivance
and
Christian
Toleration
often
dissipates
their
Strength
when
rougher
Opposition
fortifies
,
and
puts
the
Dispised
and
Oppressed
Party
into
such
combinations
,
as
may
most
enable
them
to
get
a
full
revenge
on
those
they
count
their
persecutors
,
&c.
10.
Consider
,
if
ye
force
Worship
,
and
Religion
,
and
cause
men
to
conform
against
their
Judgments
,
how
dangerous
is
this
to
destroy
mens
souls
,
and
to
lead
〈◊〉
even
to
destruction
;
For
seeing
ye
affirm
not
the
Infallibility
of
your
Worship
and
Religion
,
and
yet
will
impose
them
,
and
so
engage
mens
Souls
in
depandancy
for
Salvation
upon
things
and
wayes
uncertain
,
and
which
GOD
giveth
not
the
Faith
to
believe
in
;
I
say
how
dangerous
is
this
to
ruin
souls
;
for
in
no
way
can
the
soul
be
secure
but
in
the
faith
which
God
works
in
the
heart
,
in
the
Obedience
of
Infallible
TRUTH
;
So
ye
〈◊〉
mens
souls
upon
a
Rock
,
and
it
is
unreasonable
as
before
mentioned
,
that
men
should
be
forced
into
the
profession
and
Practice
of
uncertain
and
fallible
Religion
,
and
that
they
should
be
forced
by
you
into
that
which
may
be
evil
,
for
which
not
you
altogether
,
but
themselves
must
bear
the
punishment
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
;
and
except
ye
could
affirm
and
prove
the
infallibility
of
your
Church
(
which
is
impossible
)
there
is
no
Equity
nor
Right
Reason
for
it
,
That
you
should
impose
upon
others
any
more
than
others
should
impose
upon
you
;
For
,
as
King
Charles
the
First
said
in
his
Meditation
,
He
desired
not
any
should
be
further
Subjects
unto
him
,
then
he
and
all
of
them
might
be
subject
unto
God
,
&c.
11.
Consider
,
if
ye
allow
not
liberty
of
Conscience
,
but
persecute
about
the
same
,
ye
walk
in
the
way
and
after
the
example
of
some
of
the
Heathen
Rulers
,
and
of
the
false
Christians
,
and
shews
that
ye
allow
of
the
cruel
persecutions
by
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
ye
follow
their
example
,
who
persecute
unto
death
such
as
they
call
Hereticks
,
and
if
ye
do
persecute
for
matters
of
Conscience
,
then
ye
allow
the
very
deeds
of
the
Heathens
,
who
persecuted
the
Christians
for
their
Religion
sake
,
and
ye
justifie
Papists
in
persecuting
the
Protestants
;
and
ye
plainly
demonstrate
unto
all
the
World
by
your
works
and
fruits
,
that
ye
are
of
Antichrist
,
if
ye
impose
on
mens
Consciences
by
force
in
the
matters
of
Religion
,
and
persecute
good
Conscience
about
the
same
;
for
it
was
the
Antichrist
and
the
Beast
,
that
first
forced
all
to
worship
,
and
violently
engaged
all
into
a
conformity
,
and
killed
and
persecuted
all
that
would
not
worship
according
to
the
Image
,
Rev.
13.
as
ye
may
read
.
And
it
was
not
Christs
way
,
nor
the
practice
of
any
of
his
primitive
Churches
to
impose
and
force
on
the
persons
and
Consciences
of
men
concerning
their
Church
and
Religion
,
to
cause
all
into
a
conformity
thereunto
,
and
destroy
and
persecute
all
that
would
not
;
This
was
not
the
way
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
in
their
daies
,
but
they
left
Religion
free
,
and
said
they
were
not
lords
over
mens
faith
,
nor
lords
over
Gods
Heritage
,
neither
did
impose
upon
any
in
doubtful
cases
of
conscience
,
much
lesse
compel
against
mens
Conciences
;
for
the
Apostle
left
the
practice
of
doubtful
things
,
as
every
one
was
perswaded
in
his
own
mind
,
to
do
or
not
to
do
,
without
imposing
by
force
or
directions
of
persecution
about
the
same
;
Therefore
if
ye
do
not
allow
free
liberty
of
Conscience
,
ye
are
out
of
the
Doctrine
Example
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
follows
the
way
and
example
of
Antichrist
,
Heathen
Rulers
,
and
cruel
Papists
,
to
your
great
dishonour
.
12.
Consider
,
if
ye
allow
not
liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Religion
,
but
impose
and
persecute
about
the
same
;
It
must
inavoidably
tend
to
destroy
and
expel
Trading
,
Husbandry
,
and
Merchandize
in
these
Kingdoms
,
for
a
great
part
of
Trading
and
Husbandry
depends
upon
such
kind
of
persons
whose
principles
are
for
toleration
in
Religion
,
and
hates
persecution
and
violence
in
that
case
,
this
ye
will
find
true
on
examination
;
and
if
liberty
of
Conscience
be
not
allowed
,
such
will
be
exposed
to
great
afflictions
,
some
to
imprisonment
,
and
some
to
poverty
,
and
some
to
flee
into
other
Countries
,
to
the
destruction
of
their
Callings
and
Trading
,
and
the
hands
and
industriousnes
of
such
people
will
be
weakned
in
these
Kingdoms
,
if
they
cannot
enjoy
their
just
liberty
in
temporal
&
spiritual
cases
,
and
the
effects
thereof
will
work
wofully
in
this
very
respect
,
even
to
dis-enable
both
the
hearts
and
hands
of
Husbandmen
and
Trades
,
and
expose
these
Nations
to
want
and
poverty
,
and
to
enrich
their
enemies
.
13.
Consider
,
If
Liberty
of
Conscience
be
deny'd
,
and
Persecution
be
introduc'd
about
the
same
;
all
these
,
and
many
more
woful
Consequences
and
Effects
will
follow
infallibly
,
to
the
ruin
of
these
Kingdoms
;
even
Wars
,
and
Bloodsheds
,
and
Discontents
,
and
Murmurings
,
and
all
evil
things
will
be
the
Product
of
the
aforesaid
Cause
(
viz.
)
Of
denying
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
Religious
Matters
;
for
,
in
a
word
,
it
will
tend
to
,
and
may
effect
the
Overthrow
of
you
,
and
Ruin
your
Government
and
Authority
;
for
the
great
and
mighty
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
will
be
provoked
against
you
,
and
his
Wrath
will
go
out
like
a
Devouring
Flame
upon
you
,
if
that
ye
limit
the
Holy
One
,
and
will
not
suffer
him
to
exercise
his
proper
Right
,
in
being
King
in
mens
Consciences
,
to
exercise
them
in
all
the
Wayes
of
his
Worship
,
and
Matters
of
his
Kingdom
,
but
do
oppress
,
impose
and
persecute
about
the
same
;
this
,
I
say
,
will
infallibly
work
the
Kingdoms
ruin
,
and
expose
you
and
your
Government
to
the
Indignation
of
the
Holy
Lord
God
,
who
is
tender
of
his
Honour
,
and
will
not
give
it
to
another
;
and
he
loveth
and
effecteth
the
Cause
of
such
,
whose
Consciences
are
truly
tender
towards
him
;
and
though
ye
persecute
such
,
and
seek
to
destroy
them
,
and
for
a
time
exercise
great
Afflictio
:
and
●●●ressions
upon
them
,
for
the
matters
of
their
Conscience
,
yet
the
God
of
Heaven
will
appear
for
such
in
his
season
,
and
deliver
them
,
and
avenge
their
●ersecu●ors
;
And
therefore
all
ye
Rulers
consider
,
and
lay
these
things
to
heart
,
lest
ye
provoke
the
Lord
against
you
,
by
destroying
the
People
whom
he
regards
,
and
that
not
for
evil
doing
,
but
for
the
Ca●es
of
Conscience
,
and
because
they
cannot
relinquish
their
profession
and
principles
of
their
Religion
,
and
how
and
conform
in
things
against
their
Light
and
Knowledge
.
14.
Consider
,
If
ye
allow
not
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
what
exceeding
danger
〈◊〉
run
your selves
into
,
even
to
destroy
just
men
and
righteous
,
as
Hereticks
and
erroneous
,
and
may
promote
Hereticks
as
Church-members
,
both
which
are
great
Abominations
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
and
this
Danger
ye
bring
upon
your selves
,
for
ye
are
not
infallible
Judges
,
who
are
Hereticks
,
and
who
are
not
;
and
therefore
may
easily
proceed
in
that
way
to
punish
such
as
Hereticks
that
are
not
truly
so
,
and
except
ye
could
affirm
and
Prove
your
possession
of
the
infallible
spirit
,
ye
can
no
way
proceed
justly
&
reasonably
to
deny
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
exercise
of
Religion
,
nor
punish
and
persecute
any
in
that
case
:
but
if
ye
do
,
ye
do
it
in
ignorance
,
and
know
not
what
ye
do
,
and
may
as
soon
destroy
true
Christians
and
Saints
,
as
Hereticks
,
for
want
of
infallible
judgment
to
discern
who
are
,
and
who
are
not
;
and
this
is
a
danger
ye
ought
to
avoid
by
allowing
the
free
exercise
of
Conscience
,
as
the
Lord
perswades
every
mans
heart
.
15.
And
lastly
,
also
consider
what
a
reproach
you
are
under
,
If
such
whom
ye
call
Heretick
,
(
and
yet
doth
not
infallibly
know
that
they
are
such
)
be
punished
,
and
persecuted
,
and
destroyed
for
their
Religion
sake
,
who
are
just
and
upright
men
,
in
their
Conversing
between
man
and
man
,
and
unreprovable
in
their
dealings
among
men
;
(
whether
they
err
in
judgment
in
spiritual
knowledge
,
or
not
err
)
and
such
as
are
Drunkards
propha●e
persons
go
at
liberty
,
in
their
stage-playing
and
gaming
,
and
the
like
,
even
tolerated
,
and
unpunished
,
and
not
prohibited
,
whom
all
do
know
and
can
distinguish
who
such
are
when
they
appear
,
this
will
render
your
Government
to
evil
reputation
,
both
in
this
present
time
and
in
ages
to
come
;
and
therefore
consider
it
,
if
Drunkards
,
Gamesters
,
and
prophane
persons
have
more
toleration
and
liberty
in
their
wayes
of
open
vanity
,
then
sober
temperate
persons
in
the
exercise
of
their
Consciences
in
Religion
,
which
if
any
such
do
err
in
principle
(
which
is
not
infallibly
known
to
you
)
it
is
only
to
their
own
hurt
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
he
onely
and
not
you
ought
to
punish
them
in
that
case
;
but
prophane
persons
as
a
fore-mentioned
are
easily
judged
by
all
to
be
such
,
and
their
error
inpractise
is
hurtful
to
the
whole
Kingdoms
and
pertains
to
you
to
punish
;
as
Dr.
Taylor
now
a
Bishop
in
Ireland
hath
said
,
his
words
in
this
●ase
are
worth
observing
,
why
are
we
so
zealous
,
saith
he
,
against
those
we
call
Hereticks
,
and
yet
great
friends
,
with
D●unkards
,
and
Swearers
,
and
Fornicators
,
and
intemperate
,
and
idle
persons
;
I
am
certain
a
Drunkard
is
as
contr●oy
to
God
,
and
lives
as
contrary
to
the
Laws
of
Christianity
as
a
Heretick
,
and
I
am
also
sure
that
I
Know
what
Drunkennesse
is
,
but
I
am
not
sure
that
such
an
opinion
is
heresie
,
&c.
And
these
things
I
do
in
all
meeknesse
and
due
respect
both
to
your
places
and
persons
,
present
to
your
serious
considerations
,
that
ye
may
prevent
these
evil
effects
that
are
so
destructive
unto
you
and
these
Kingdoms
,
which
absolutely
must
follow
,
upon
not
allowing
free
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
Exercise
of
Religion
;
if
any
shall
object
,
That
to
tolerate
and
allow
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
Religion
is
inconsistent
with
the
safety
and
peace
of
the
King
and
these
Kingdoms
;
I
shall
be
desirous
to
hear
from
wise
men
what
such
objections
are
,
stated
by
them
,
and
wherein
they
say
it
is
not
Congruous
with
the
Happiness
and
Peace
of
these
Nations
,
to
grant
and
allow
the
Premises
:
And
on
such
Occasion
,
I
should
make
clearly
to
appea●
the
contrary
;
and
that
it
is
only
consistant
with
the
Peace
and
Prosperity
of
these
Kingdoms
(
considering
them
in
their
present
Estate
)
To
grant
and
allow
Free
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
as
aforesaid
,
in
the
Exercise
of
Religion
unto
all
Christian
People
.
O!
Remember
,
ye
Mighty
Men
of
the
Kingdom
,
That
the
Great
and
Mighty
GOD
takes
notice
of
all
your
Doings
,
and
accordingly
will
he
reward
you
in
his
Dreadful
Day
,
which
is
near
to
come
upon
all
the
World
;
and
Wo
unto
the
Wicked
in
that
Day
.
O!
Remember
that
ye
your selves
not
long
since
were
a
Suffering
People
,
and
now
you
are
raised
up
again
;
and
therefore
be
not
too
zealous
to
afflict
others
,
especially
for
the
Cases
of
their
Consciences
,
in
reference
to
their
Faith
and
Perswasions
about
Religion
;
but
be
Gentle
,
Meek
and
Long-suffering
towards
all
;
for
that
is
the
way
to
make
Peace
,
and
preserve
it
with
all
men
,
that
will
gain
the
Affections
of
the
Contrary-minded
;
but
Force
and
Rigour
will
exasperate
the
more
,
and
never
truly
reconcile
differences
among
men
:
And
make
no
Laws
contrary
or
different
to
the
pure
Law
of
God
;
but
let
pure
Consciences
go
free
,
without
Force
or
Restraint
in
the
Exercises
of
Religion
,
and
let
God
have
his
Prerogative
and
Lordship
in
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
;
but
let
your
Authority
be
extended
over
the
outward
man
,
in
the
matters
between
man
and
man
,
to
preserve
Peace
and
Right
in
all
outward
relation
:
And
be
Wise
and
Learned
,
ye
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
and
kiss
the
Son
,
lest
he
be
Angry
,
and
ye
perish
;
and
if
his
Wrath
be
kindled
but
a
little
,
blessed
are
they
that
trust
in
him
.
This
is
your
Time
and
Day
,
happy
are
ye
if
it
be
given
to
you
to
do
the
Work
that
God
requires
of
you
only
.

The
PREFACE
.
THE
Light
of
the
Day
of
GOD
Almighty
is
arisen
upon
us
in
our
Day
,
and
the
Shinings-forth
thereof
is
with
great
Clearness
and
Force
,
even
as
the
Sun
at
Noon-day
;
and
many
are
come
to
the
Glorious
Appearance
thereof
,
and
to
walk
in
its
Light
with
much
Ioyfulness
;
for
,
as
the
Wise-Man
said
,
The
Light
is
Sweet
,
and
a
Pleasant
Thing
it
is
for
the
Eye
to
behold
the
Son
.
And
so
fully
is
our
Morning-Son
now
appeared
,
that
the
Upright
in
Heart
may
Walk
,
and
not
stumble
;
and
the
Poor
in
Spirit
may
Run
in
the
Path
of
Life
,
and
not
fall
,
For
,
indeed
we
may
say
;
The
NIGHT
is
spent
,
and
the
DAY
is
come
;
therefore
let
us
Walk
in
the
Day
,
and
put
on
the
Armour
of
Light
,
as
many
as
are
made
the
Children
thereof
.
And
where
the
Light
of
this
Son
is
arisen
,
and
in
whose
Hearts
it
shineth
,
it
cannot
but
give
some
Testimony
through
such
an
one
,
of
its
own
Glory
,
Vertues
,
and
Excellency
,
to
them
that
sit
yet
in
Darkness
,
and
in
the
〈◊〉
of
Corruption
,
that
they
also
may
〈◊〉
the
same
Light
and
Glory
arise
on
their
Tabernacles
:
For
't
is
the
Property
of
this
Spiritual
Heavenly
Light
,
to
shine
forth
out
of
Darkness
,
and
to
give
Light
to
such
as
have
long
sate
in
Darkness
,
that
their
Souls
may
live
,
and
be
refreshed
with
the
Light
of
the
Living
.
And
for
this
Cause
do
we
Labour
,
and
Spend
,
and
●re
Spent
;
accounting
nothing
too
dear
for
us
,
that
the
Light
of
Truth
may
shine
abroad
,
and
guide
the
Upright
in
the
perfect
Way
,
till
the
Elect
be
gathered
into
the
Pasture
of
Eternal
Life
,
and
the
Son
so
elivated
on
the
Firmament
of
Joy
and
Praises
never
to
go
down
;
but
the
Saying
fulfilled
,
There
shall
be
no
Night
,
but
the
Light
of
the
Son
shall
be
as
the
Light
of
seven
dayes
.
These
following
Testimonies
were
written
at
divers
Times
,
as
the
Lord
drew
forth
my
Spirit
through
the
Motions
of
his
Life
in
me
;
some
of
them
some
years
since
;
and
being
cast
by
among
Bundles
of
Manuscripts
,
and
now
lately
coming
to
my
sight
,
and
looking
them
over
,
I
have
thought
good
to
send
them
abroad
,
as
being
of
service
to
many
:
And
this
is
the
Occasion
and
End
of
my
present
publishing
these
things
.
And
to
the
Iudgment
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
all
the
Saints
,
do
I
commend
my
Labours
,
and
myself
to
be
approved
.

CHAP.
I.
A
Testimony
concerning
Life
and
Death
,
and
their
several
Fruits
and
Effects
Distinguished
.
THere
is
only
Life
and
Death
,
and
there
is
but
only
Life
and
Death
in
the
whole
Creation
,
that
Ruleth
and
Raigneth
in
,
and
among
,
and
over
all
the
Children
of
Men
;
and
all
the
Children
of
Men
upon
the
Face
of
the
Earth
are
under
the
Government
and
Dominion
of
LIFE
or
of
DEATH
,
in
whatsoever
they
are
,
and
in
whatsoever
they
do
;
and
Life
or
Death
hath
the
Rule
and
Government
in
every
Creature
in
every
Exercise
,
whether
of
Works
or
Words
;
and
all
people
upon
the
Earth
are
subject
to
the
Government
of
one
or
the
other
,
and
bring
forth
the
Fruits
and
Works
in
obedience
to
Life
or
to
Death
,
and
shews
them
forth
in
visible
appearance
.
Now
these
two
(
to
wit
)
Life
and
Death
,
are
contrary
one
to
the
other
in
Beeing
,
in
Nature
,
in
Works
and
Fruits
;
and
each
of
these
are
known
and
distinguished
the
one
from
the
other
in
Beeing
,
in
Nature
,
in
Fruits
and
Effects
,
which
diversly
they
bring
forth
in
this
World
;
and
each
of
them
hath
a
Kingdom
and
Government
in
himself
,
distinct
from
and
contrary
each
to
other
;
and
each
of
them
have
their
several
Subjects
,
which
also
are
contrary
in
Birth
and
Generation
,
in
quality
and
kind
,
over
which
they
Rule
and
Govern
,
and
to
whom
they
give
distinct
Portions
and
Heirships
in
this
World
,
and
hereafter
:
and
where
Life
Rules
and
reigns
,
Death
is
held
in
Captivity
and
Bondage
;
and
where
Death
lives
,
the
Life
dies
;
and
where
one
of
these
brings
forth
Fruit
,
the
other
is
Barren
;
for
they
agree
not
in
one
,
but
are
in
all
things
contrary
;
and
the
Subjects
of
the
one
are
alwayes
opposing
and
striving
against
the
Subjects
of
the
other
:
And
between
Life
and
Death
there
is
continual
War
and
Strife
among
the
Creatures
,
who
are
the
Subject
of
the
one
of
them
,
in
whatsoever
man
is
,
and
in
what
he
doth
.
First
,
Concerning
Life
I
will
speak
;
Life
was
in
the
Beginning
with
God
,
and
is
without
descent
;
and
God
is
Life
in
himself
,
without
beginning
or
ending
of
Time
,
Place
,
or
Matter
;
and
Life
put
forth
it self
out
of
its
invisible
Beeing
into
Work
and
Action
in
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
and
appeared
in
visible
Operations
and
Works
,
and
brought
forth
all
Creatures
,
and
all
things
into
visible
Appearances
;
and
Life
was
the
Author
of
all
,
the
Beginning
and
Foundation
of
all
;
and
Life
was
and
is
that
Beeing
and
Vertue
of
all
things
that
are
,
and
it
was
the
Ioy
and
Delight
of
all
things
that
it self
brought
forth
;
for
all
Things
and
Creatures
subsisted
through
it
,
and
it
gave
Breath
and
Life
to
all
Creatures
,
and
Life
blessed
them
all
,
and
in
it
were
all
Creatures
at
Unity
,
being
framed
and
brought
into
Visibility
,
and
for
the
Pleasure
of
Life
,
which
was
all
in
all
in
the
Beginning
;
and
there
was
a
sweet
Concurrance
and
Harmony
in
the
whole
Creation
,
through
the
Power
and
Beeing
of
Life
in
the
midst
of
all
Creatures
,
through
which
the
whole
Creation
was
made
and
framed
by
the
Eternal
Word
of
Life
,
and
through
which
they
stood
and
did
remain
〈◊〉
●●●●sedness
;
and
Life
ruled
and
raigned
in
every
Creature
that
was
brought
forth
,
and
was
the
Glory
and
Substance
thereof
:
For
Life
was
and
is
that
only
begotten
of
the
Father
,
the
Son
and
Heir
of
the
Everlasting
Father
,
his
express
Image
and
Brightness
;
being
one
with
the
Father
,
not
separated
or
divided
from
him
.
And
as
for
Death
,
it
was
not
yet
known
,
nor
had
it
any
place
in
the
Creation
;
it
had
yet
received
no
Power
,
nor
Kingdom
,
nor
Government
,
neither
was
it
in
beeing
:
But
Life
was
all
,
over
all
,
through
all
,
and
in
all
in
the
Beginning
,
before
Disobedience
and
Transgression
entred
to
war
against
Life
:
But
Life
was
Prince
,
Ruler
and
,
Governour
,
in
and
over
all
the
Works
of
the
Creator
.
And
Life
in
its
beeing
is
God
,
and
God
is
Life
;
and
in
its
Government
,
and
Fruits
and
Effects
is
Purity
,
Righteousness
,
Truth
,
Holiness
,
Meekness
,
and
all
the
Works
that
are
Just
and
Equal
according
to
God
,
and
like
him
,
and
which
shews
him
forth
in
the
Creation
;
and
this
was
,
and
it
was
thus
in
the
Beginning
,
before
Death
entred
into
the
World
,
or
had
a
kingdom
.
But
it
is
written
,
The
Devil
abode
not
in
the
Truth
,
but
went
out
of
the
Truth
;
and
he
is
the
King
of
Death
,
and
hath
the
Power
of
it
;
he
went
out
of
the
Power
of
God
,
and
out
of
the
Life
,
by
which
all
things
was
made
and
created
,
and
abode
not
in
the
Truth
,
nor
in
the
Life
,
to
live
,
and
act
,
and
speak
in
that
;
but
desired
to
be
,
and
became
to
be
something
of
himself
without
God
;
and
he
spoke
of
himself
,
and
acted
of
himself
,
without
the
Power
and
Life
,
and
also
contrary
to
the
Power
and
Life
of
the
Creator
,
being
separated
from
it
,
and
become
a
distinct
Beeing
of
himself
;
and
then
,
having
lost
his
State
and
first
Condition
,
thus
became
an
Enemy
to
Life
and
Truth
,
and
became
the
King
of
Death
;
and
he
was
the
first
of
Death's
Race
,
and
he
holds
the
Power
of
it
unto
this
Day
;
he
being
gone
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
out
of
the
Power
and
Life
of
God
,
and
become
a
distinct
Beeing
of
himself
,
having
a
kingdom
of
his
own
to
promote
in
Opposition
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
Then
he
drew
Mankind
out
of
the
Power
,
and
Truth
,
and
Life
,
and
beguiled
Eve
and
Adam
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Scriptures
;
and
they
lost
the
Life
and
Power
,
(
even
all
Feeling
of
it
,
and
Comfort
in
it
)
by
which
they
were
Created
and
made
,
and
they
also
transgressed
and
acted
contrary
to
the
Life
and
Power
,
and
acted
of
themselves
,
and
spake
of
themselves
,
without
the
Power
and
Life
of
their
Creator
,
being
separated
from
it
;
and
were
,
and
did
something
of
themselves
,
without
God
,
the
Creator
:
and
then
the
Power
and
Life
cast
them
out
of
all
Peace
,
Joy
and
Happiness
into
the
Earth
,
and
into
Death
;
and
Death
became
the
King
and
Prince
over
Mankind
:
and
they
had
no
more
possession
of
Life
,
nor
.
Blessedness
by
it
in
their
separated
Estate
,
neither
did
it
any
longer
raign
in
them
;
but
they
having
transgressed
against
the
Life
,
and
acted
of
themselves
,
and
spoken
of
themselves
,
without
the
Leadings
and
Movings
of
the
Life
,
this
was
their
Transgression
;
They
went
out
of
the
Power
and
Life
in
all
Motions
and
Actions
,
and
then
Life
drove
them
forth
of
its
good
Pleasure
into
the
Earth
,
separate
from
its
Vertues
and
Peace
,
and
into
Death
,
which
is
contrary
to
it self
,
to
live
in
Anguish
and
Sorrow
:
And
so
,
when
the
Devil
was
gone
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
had
led
Mankind
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
out
of
Life
,
and
thereby
they
were
all
separated
from
Life
,
and
drove
out
from
God
,
out
of
his
Pleasure
into
his
Wrath
:
Then
became
Death
to
have
a
Beeing
in
Mankind
,
and
great
Authority
,
and
not
before
;
and
then
Death
began
his
Kingdom
in
the
World
,
and
over
it
,
and
he
set
up
his
Rule
and
Government
in
,
and
among
,
and
over
all
the
Children
of
Men.
And
so
,
from
Transgression
came
Death
,
that
was
its
Beginning
,
Man
having
Transgressed
against
the
Life
that
brought
him
forth
;
and
being
separated
from
Life
,
then
Death
took
place
,
and
its
kingdom
was
established
over
the
World
,
and
in
all
the
Children
of
Men
,
in
opposition
to
Life
,
and
its
Government
and
Kingdom
;
and
Death
reigns
from
Adam
,
(
so
saith
the
Scripture
)
and
the
Life
was
transgressed
against
,
and
so
provoked
into
an
absence
,
and
to
withdraw
it self
into
invisibility
from
the
enjoyment
of
Mankind
,
that
it
should
not
be
felt
nor
perceived
of
Him
to
comfort
him
;
and
then
the
whole
body
of
Death
came
upon
Man
,
to
load
his
Conscience
and
vex
his
Soul
:
and
Death
and
only
Death
hath
a
preheminence
over
all
in
Transgression
,
and
is
established
into
a
Kingdom
,
over
sinful
Subjects
,
who
are
under
its
Command
;
and
hath
its
Rule
and
Goverment
,
and
brings
forth
its
Works
and
Fruits
in
Mankind
,
contrary
to
Life
,
and
in
opposition
to
it
,
and
to
its
Kingdom
and
Power
,
and
opposeth
the
Kingdom
and
Power
of
Life
(
the
Creature
)
and
in
its
Nature
,
and
all
its
Fruits
and
Works
,
it
is
contrary
and
opposite
to
Life
and
its
Works
and
Fruits
;
and
through
Death
is
the
whole
Creation
in
its
exercise
by
man
perverted
from
the
right
use
and
end
ordained
of
God
;
and
out
of
Death
proceedeth
all
evil
,
as
Lying
,
Swearing
,
Drunkenness
and
Whoredom
,
Pride
,
Strife
,
and
every
evil
work
and
word
:
These
things
are
the
Fruits
and
Works
of
Death
;
and
Death
governs
the
Children
of
men
in
the
practice
of
all
these
things
;
and
in
transgression
Death
lives
,
and
acts
,
and
speaks
through
Men
and
Women
;
and
Death
rules
in
them
,
and
hath
perverted
them
in
all
their
wayes
;
for
they
have
given
their
Power
to
it
,
and
it
wholly
Captivates
them
,
and
is
established
over
them
,
and
hath
the
dominion
in
them
,
and
Life
is
swallowed
up
of
it
:
And
this
Kingdom
of
Death
opposeth
God
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Life
,
and
exalts
it self
against
Life
,
and
hath
its
operation
in
the
Creature
,
in
all
manner
of
unrighteousness
,
bringing
forth
daily
such
words
,
works
,
fruits
and
effects
,
as
doth
oppress
and
is
a
burden
unto
the
Life
,
and
unto
the
God
of
Life
;
and
Death
and
its
Kingdom
doth
continually
war
and
strive
against
Life
and
its
Kingdom
,
and
the
one
opposeth
the
other
through
all
Generation
since
the
beginning
:
for
the
Devil
is
the
King
of
Death
,
and
hath
the
Power
of
i●
,
and
he
is
King
in
its
Goverment
,
and
Ruler
in
its
Dominion
;
and
this
is
the
state
of
all
the
Children
of
men
in
Transgression
,
Death
rules
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Death
reigns
in
them
,
and
it
brings
forth
cursed
fruits
through
them
,
and
they
are
subjects
thereof
,
and
in
obedience
thereunto
in
all
things
:
And
through
Death
,
which
hath
Power
over
them
,
are
they
separated
from
Life
,
and
have
no
part
nor
portion
therein
,
because
of
Death
that
hath
separated
them
,
and
vailed
and
clouded
them
,
and
loads
their
Consciences
.
But
now
the
Promise
of
the
God
of
Life
,
is
to
restore
Mankind
out
of
Death
and
Darkness
,
and
that
Life
shall
reign
again
,
and
subdue
Death
,
and
destroy
it
and
its
Kingdom
,
and
swallow
it
up
;
and
this
is
the
Promise
of
the
Father
:
For
in
Transgression
Death
hath
subdued
Life
,
and
overcome
it
in
Mankind
;
But
in
the
Restoration
,
Life
shall
swallow
up
Death
,
and
subdue
it
,
and
overcome
it
:
and
this
comes
to
pass
through
the
rising
again
of
Life
from
under
Death
which
hath
held
it
in
bondage
;
and
Life
that
made
the
World
in
the
beginning
,
and
gave
to
all
things
Life
and
substance
,
as
I
have
said
;
which
Life
,
in
its
measure
in
Mankind
hath
been
overcome
and
swallowed
up
in
Transgression
:
That
Life
shall
appear
,
though
in
another
manner
of
appearance
than
it
did
in
the
beginning
;
for
then
it
appeared
freely
of
it self
without
opposition
,
and
brought
forth
the
first
Creation
;
But
now
it
doth
appear
,
through
great
opposition
,
and
through
all
that
doth
oppose
it
in
this
second
Creation
,
when
Life
comes
again
to
reign
over
Death
,
and
swallow
up
and
overcome
and
subdue
it
;
and
who
comes
to
witness
this
(
the
new
Creation
)
they
know
Life
appearing
through
opposition
,
and
through
the
destroying
of
Death
,
and
all
its
works
and
fruits
:
for
CHRIST
is
the
Life
,
and
he
is
the
Seed
of
the
W●…
,
which
bruiseth
the
Serpents
head
,
who
hath
the
Power
of
Death
;
Life
bruiseth
his
Head
,
breaketh
his
Government
,
and
destroyes
his
Works
,
as
it
appeareth
and
riseth
in
the
Creature
;
and
Death
and
its
Works
opposeth
Life
and
its
manifestation
and
appearance
,
and
gainsayes
it
,
and
often
quencheth
it
i●
its
app●…
.
Now
the
first
Appearance
of
Life
in
the
Creature
,
it
convinceth
and
reproveth
the
works
of
Death
,
and
the
words
that
proceed
from
Death
,
which
are
unrighteous
words
,
and
unrighteous
works
;
and
Life
when
it
rises
,
it
reproves
them
and
condemns
them
:
and
though
Death
doth
oppose
and
gainsay
the
Operation
of
Life
;
yet
Life
works
through
,
and
overcometh
,
subdueth
,
and
swalloweth
up
Death
,
and
destroys
all
its
works
in
the
second
Creation
;
and
Life
again
comes
to
take
possession
of
the
Creature
,
which
it
made
in
the
beginning
;
and
Life
comes
to
reign
again
,
whose
Right
it
is
to
raign
;
for
,
by
it
the
Creature
,
Mankind
,
and
all
Creatures
were
in
the
beginning
formed
and
brought
forth
,
and
therefore
it
is
its
Right
to
reign
,
and
to
have
the
dominion
over
the
works
of
its
own
hands
,
whom
since
the
beginning
in
Transgression
,
the
Devil
and
Death
,
and
his
seat
of
Government
has
had
the
possession
of
;
and
CHRIST
the
Power
of
God
,
and
the
Life
,
hath
been
as
it
were
dispossessed
:
and
thus
the
first
Creation
hath
been
defaced
,
and
lost
its
Glory
;
and
it
hath
been
corrupted
and
degenerated
quite
from
the
perfect
state
as
it
was
created
in
;
and
Mankind
hath
been
servant
to
another
Power
,
and
led
captive
by
another
Power
than
the
Power
that
made
him
,
and
another
Government
hath
been
established
over
him
,
and
another
Law
hath
exercised
him
than
the
Government
and
Law
of
the
Creator
,
(
to
wit
)
the
Power
,
and
Government
and
Law
of
Death
have
had
the
Rule
,
Government
and
Exercise
of
Man
,
and
of
the
old
Creation
,
and
hereby
all
things
have
been
diverted
from
their
proper
and
perfect
place
and
service
,
to
which
they
were
ordained
in
the
beginning
,
by
reason
of
Transgression
and
the
reigning
of
Death
;
and
Man
hath
been
held
in
Captivity
,
and
in
sore
bondage
,
and
subject
to
all
misery
and
distress
,
deprived
of
unity
with
his
Maker
,
and
deprived
of
the
comfortable
use
and
benefit
of
the
Creation
;
so
that
of
all
Creatures
he
hath
been
the
most
miserable
,
being
held
in
Bondage
and
Captivity
under
the
power
of
Death
,
which
hath
ruled
and
reigned
over
him
,
and
in
him
,
being
always
subject
to
Death
,
and
subject
to
the
Curse
and
Anger
of
the
LORD
:
and
subject
to
doubtings
and
fears
,
and
subject
to
continual
misery
and
sorrow
;
and
all
this
is
,
because
Death
hath
reigned
,
and
had
dominion
;
even
that
which
at
first
in
the
beginning
of
Transgression
betrayed
him
of
the
Life
and
Fellowship
with
God
,
that
got
possession
it self
to
reign
,
and
to
have
the
Power
,
which
ever
since
hath
reigned
,
and
alwayes
doth
till
the
appearance
of
the
Life
again
,
which
doth
appear
in
the
Creature
for
this
end
,
to
overcome
and
subdue
Death
,
and
destroy
his
works
,
that
it self
may
reign
,
and
free
the
Creation
from
its
degeneration
and
corruption
,
and
free
Mankind
from
his
bondage
and
captivity
,
and
from
his
misery
and
all
his
trouble
,
which
is
come
upon
him
by
reason
of
Death
.
And
this
came
to
pass
in
the
New
Creation
when
Life
is
born
again
,
to
rule
and
reign
again
,
and
to
swallow
up
Death
,
and
to
subdue
it
wholly
,
and
its
Kingdom
and
Government
.
And
then
Man
again
is
become
a
Son
of
GOD
,
an
Heir
of
Salvation
,
and
no
more
Death
reigns
in
him
,
nor
hath
Power
over
him
,
when
he
is
restored
out
of
Transgression
;
then
as
Death
hath
reigned
and
had
power
in
Transgression
,
Life
shall
so
reign
in
and
over
the
Creature
,
in
the
New
Creation
,
when
that
is
brought
forth
,
as
Death
hath
reigned
in
the
Old
Creation
in
Transgression
and
Disobedience
:
And
Life
will
arise
to
reign
and
rule
over
all
,
and
in
all
,
though
it
be
through
great
opposition
;
the
Body
of
Death
shall
be
put
off
,
and
the
Government
of
Death
shall
be
subdued
,
and
all
the
Works
Fruits
and
Effects
of
Death
shall
be
destroyed
and
done
away
,
and
its
place
shall
no
more
be
found
,
so
as
to
bring
forth
Fruit
;
for
its
sting
shall
be
taken
away
,
and
shall
no
more
wound
,
nor
pierce
,
nor
hurt
the
Creature
:
For
the
sting
of
Death
is
Sin
,
and
that
hath
wounded
and
hurt
the
Creature
;
and
when
this
comes
to
pass
,
then
there
is
glory
and
rejoycing
over
all
,
for
Life
hath
swallowed
up
Death
,
and
overcome
it
,
and
the
cause
of
Sorrow
is
removed
and
taken
away
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Life
is
established
in
the
Creature
,
and
is
set
upon
the
top
of
Death's
Kingdom
,
and
keeps
it
under
;
and
if
there
be
but
a
Motion
of
Death
,
that
would
spring
up
,
or
appear
in
the
Creature
,
Life
judgeth
it
down
,
and
condemns
it
.
And
this
Kingd●●
is
Righteousness
,
Ioy
and
Peace
,
full
of
Iustice
,
Righteousness
and
Equity
,
and
there
is
nothing
in
it
that
doth
defile
or
destroy
,
or
bring
Sorrow
or
Misery
;
but
Life
rules
over
all
that
,
and
subdues
the
Cause
thereof
,
and
removes
every
thing
that
would
imbondage
or
captivate
the
Creature
in
Evil.
And
this
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
from
Heaven
,
and
Heavenly
;
and
the
Birth
Immortal
is
Heir
thereof
,
which
receives
the
Crown
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Eternal
Life
.
Now
the
Kingdom
of
Death
is
of
this
World
,
which
is
defiled
and
degenerated
;
Gain
was
a
Subject
of
this
kingdom
;
and
Esau
,
that
was
a
Reprobate
;
and
Iudas
,
that
betrayed
the
Life
;
and
all
the
Ungodly
,
and
Generation
of
the
Wicked
since
the
beginning
,
they
were
all
of
the
kingdom
of
Death
,
and
the
kingdom
of
Death
ruled
in
them
,
and
brought
forth
its
works
through
them
,
and
its
exercise
in
their
hearts
and
in
their
lives
:
and
through
its
power
they
opposed
and
gainsay'd
the
Life
,
and
they
fought
against
the
Kingdom
of
Life
and
Righteousness
;
and
such
were
the
Pharisees
,
who
put
Christ
to
death
,
who
is
the
Life
.
Death
raigned
over
all
these
,
and
they
were
of
the
stock
of
Death
,
and
they
were
of
this
World
,
and
had
their
Conversation
below
,
in
the
earthly
things
;
and
knew
not
the
Life
,
nor
its
Government
,
but
were
Strangers
to
it
,
and
Enemies
to
it
,
as
all
are
at
this
day
,
who
are
Transgressors
against
the
Life
;
and
all
such
are
subject
to
the
Curse
,
to
Sorrow
and
Misery
,
and
the
Anger
of
the
Lord
;
but
who
come
to
feel
the
Life
,
and
the
Obedience
to
it
again
,
Death
is
destroyed
through
Death
;
for
,
through
the
death
of
Death
,
Death
comes
to
be
destroyed
,
and
no
other
way
,
which
the
Life
works
;
and
the
Life
works
through
Death
,
and
overcomes
it
,
and
swallows
it
up
;
and
this
is
the
second
Creation
,
and
the
new
Creation
,
where
Life
raigns
over
all
,
and
doth
possess
the
Creature
,
as
it
did
before
transgression
.
The
Life
is
the
Light
,
and
the
Life
is
the
Law
,
and
Life
lives
,
moves
and
acts
the
Creature
;
and
Christ
,
who
is
the
Life
,
becomes
all
in
all
;
and
Blessed
are
they
who
wait
for
this
,
and
do
witness
it
,
to
such
am
I
known
in
these
things
,
where
the
kingdom
of
Death
is
overcome
and
swallowed
up
of
Life
.
CHAP.
II.
A
Testimony
concerning
the
Mystery
of
God
,
and
Godliness
;
and
concerning
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
and
Iniquity
.
THere
are
two
great
Mysteries
in
their
invisible
Beeing
,
and
in
manifestation
to
us
in
the
world
(
that
is
to
say
)
.
The
Mystery
of
God
,
and
Godliness
;
and
,
The
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
and
Iniquity
:
These
are
two
great
Mysteries
,
which
do
discover
and
act
themselves
forth
in
,
and
among
,
and
through
the
Children
of
men
in
this
Creation
;
and
these
two
Mysteries
are
contrary
one
to
the
other
,
in
Beeing
,
in
Nature
,
in
Works
,
in
Fruits
and
effects
;
and
they
are
in
strife
one
against
the
other
,
the
one
continually
opposing
the
other
,
and
striving
for
the
Creature
,
Mankind
,
to
be
the
Instrument
to
display
themselves
through
in
visible
Appearance
;
for
the
Creature
,
Man
and
Woman
is
a
Vessel
wherein
these
Mysteries
are
contained
,
and
whereby
these
Mysteries
do
shew
themselves
forth
in
the
world
;
and
all
the
Sons
of
Adam
upon
the
Face
of
the
Earth
are
possessed
with
and
of
one
of
these
(
that
is
to
say
)
The
Mystory
of
God
,
or
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
do
manifest
themselves
forth
through
every
Man
and
Woman
,
and
through
all
the
Sons
of
Adam
upon
the
Face
of
the
Earth
the
Works
,
Fruits
and
Effects
of
one
of
these
are
brought
forth
.
And
as
for
the
Mystery
of
God
,
it
is
Infinite
and
Eternal
in
Beeing
,
and
which
was
,
and
is
,
and
is
to
come
,
without
Beginning
or
End
;
and
this
Mystery
reacheth
it self
forth
more
or
less
in
every
Creature
upon
the
Face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
and
is
the
Life
,
and
Beeing
and
Substance
of
all
things
;
and
all
Creatures
upon
the
face
of
the
earth
,
whether
movable
or
inmovable
,
is
a
Partaker
of
this
Mystery
,
&
this
Mystery
is
vailed
and
hidden
secretly
in
&
under
all
things
that
have
a
Beeing
;
and
whatsoever
the
Creature
brought
forth
even
in
the
greatest
appearance
thereof
;
and
its
goodness
and
vertue
,
in
what
form
or
apparance
foever
,
is
but
the
Production
,
or
the
,
manifestation
of
the
Mystery
[
God
]
for
the
life
of
every
Creature
,
and
the
vertue
of
every
Creature
is
a
Mystery
and
proceedeth
out
of
the
great
Mystery
of
God
,
who
is
Life
it self
,
Vertue
it self
,
Goodness
it self
,
and
Being
it self
;
and
is
the
Goodness
,
and
the
Vertue
,
and
the
Life
and
Being
of
all
Things
and
Creatures
upon
the
face
of
the
Earth
;
so
that
every
thing
that
hath
a
being
,
even
the
Wicked
and
Ungodly
,
are
not
without
this
Mystery
in
some
manner
or
other
;
for
by
Him
every
Creature
is
,
and
hath
its
first
being
.
But
now
more
perfectly
doth
the
Mystery
of
God
appear
in
his
Servants
,
and
in
his
Children
who
are
born
of
Him
,
and
begotten
by
Him
,
and
they
have
the
sence
and
feeling
,
and
understanding
of
this
Mystery
more
than
any
other
Creatures
;
and
this
is
their
Glory
and
Crown
above
all
other
Creatures
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
;
for
they
only
,
I
say
,
who
are
redeemed
to
God
,
and
born
of
the
Spirit
,
they
are
them
that
have
the
sence
,
and
feeling
,
and
understanding
of
this
Mystery
,
even
of
the
Mystery
of
God
,
infinite
,
endless
and
eternal
.
And
though
this
Mystery
he
hid
in
all
other
Creatures
,
and
manifesting
it self
through
them
,
yet
this
Mystery
is
not
known
to
them
,
nor
understood
of
them
,
nor
of
any
other
Creature
(
I
say
)
besides
the
Children
of
the
Lord
,
in
whom
this
Mystery
is
only
revealed
;
for
they
are
them
through
whom
more
manifestly
and
plainly
this
Mystery
is
made
manifest
,
and
to
them
revealed
,
and
known
,
and
felt
in
their
Understandings
;
and
they
have
the
enjoyment
thereof
who
know
God
,
and
are
known
of
him
,
and
are
entered
into
Covenant
with
him
,
into
Everlasting
Covenant
of
Ioy
and
Peace
;
and
through
them
doth
this
Mystery
display
it self
,
even
in
the
sight
of
all
Creatures
,
in
works
of
Righteousness
,
of
Purity
,
of
Goodness
,
of
Mercy
,
of
Truth
,
of
Peace
,
and
of
Wisdom
,
in
their
exercise
of
all
things
:
and
in
this
manner
,
and
by
these
fruits
and
effects
doth
the
Mystery
of
God
shew
itself
forth
through
his
Children
,
in
whom
the
Mystery
is
opened
,
that
is
hid
in
all
other
Creatures
:
And
this
is
the
Crown
of
the
Children
of
the
Lord
,
that
are
born
from
Heaven
,
and
from
above
,
that
the
Mystery
of
God
is
felt
and
enjoyed
by
them
,
and
more
manifest
to
them
than
in
any
other
Creatures
:
And
to
know
this
Mystery
of
God
is
Life
Eternal
;
and
to
have
the
understanding
of
his
Leadings
,
of
his
Judgment
,
of
his
Mercy
,
and
of
his
Counsel
,
and
of
the
operation
of
his
Power
;
to
feel
this
in
the
Understanding
,
this
is
Ioy
and
a
Crown
of
Glory
,
where
the
Mystery
of
God
is
revealed
in
Spirit
.
And
as
for
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
it
is
darkness
,
and
in
darkness
;
and
it
shews
it self
forth
in
the
Ungodly
,
and
in
the
sons
of
Adam
in
transgression
;
and
in
such
only
doth
this
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
and
of
Sin
,
and
of
the
Devil
display
it self
forth
in
all
unrighteousnesse
and
sin
,
and
that
which
is
contrary
to
the
Creator
in
works
,
words
and
thoughts
;
All
these
things
are
the
manifestation
of
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
and
its
fruits
and
effects
,
who
is
out
of
the
Truth
,
who
is
vailed
and
covered
,
and
hidden
in
the
hearts
of
the
Ungodly
,
and
in
the
hearts
of
the
sons
of
Adam
in
the
Fall
:
This
Mystery
was
not
from
the
beginning
,
as
the
other
,
but
when
the
Devil
went
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
had
led
Man's
mind
out
of
the
Truth
and
taken
possession
of
the
heart
of
Man
,
and
become
Ruler
and
Lord
there
,
having
gained
Authority
over
Man
,
through
Man's
obedience
to
him
,
then
began
this
Mystery
to
discover
it self
,
and
act
it self
through
the
Creature
;
and
this
was
since
the
beginning
:
And
though
no
other
Creature
be
an
Agent
to
manifest
forth
this
Mystery
but
Man
,
yet
Man
in
his
exercise
of
all
Creatures
,
or
all
Creatures
through
the
exercise
of
Man
in
transgression
,
there
is
shewed
forth
this
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
that
secretly
lurks
in
the
spirits
of
ungodly
men
;
which
spirit
of
unrighteousness
,
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
leads
Man
into
all
sinfulness
,
of
drunkenness
and
uncleanness
,
and
such
like
,
and
hath
polluted
the
Earth
,
and
defiled
all
Creatures
through
Man's
exercise
in
them
:
and
this
is
truly
an
appearance
of
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
;
yet
he
hath
other
Appearances
,
and
other
makings-out
of
his
Mystery
(
to
wit
)
in
a
way
of
seeming
Righteousness
,
and
seeming
Holiness
,
and
seeming
Purity
;
and
these
shew
the
Mystery
of
Unrighteousness
,
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
who
deceives
the
Soul
that
is
Immortal
of
the
enjoyment
of
the
Creator
,
who
is
the
desire
of
the
Immortal
Soul
;
and
so
through
a
form
;
and
likeness
,
and
appearance
of
a
thing
is
the
Soul
Immortal
deceived
and
beguiled
with
that
which
hath
appearances
in
it
,
but
no
Life
nor
Substance
.
And
though
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
be
but
one
in
it self
,
yet
it
manifests
it self
divers
wayes
;
sometimes
in
open
Prophaneness
and
Wickedness
,
and
sometimes
in
seeming
Righteousness
and
Holiness
,
and
in
a
form
of
Religion
without
power
:
But
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
confound
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
and
Iniquity
,
and
will
discover
it
,
and
destroy
it
;
for
it
is
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
that
worketh
in
the
Children
of
Disobedience
,
that
are
Strangers
to
God
;
and
through
the
operation
of
this
Mystery
are
People
kept
at
a
distance
from
the
Lord
,
and
out
of
Unity
and
Covenant
with
him
:
and
this
Mystery
of
Iniquity
worketh
hiddenly
,
not
known
but
in
the
Eternal
Eye
,
which
sees
through
the
spirit
of
Creatures
,
and
comprehendeth
and
fathometh
over
the
nature
of
things
,
and
can
judge
beyond
the
appearance
,
even
in
the
ground
,
before
the
action
appeareth
:
for
while
people
are
professing
and
acting
Holiness
and
Righteousness
visibly
,
and
yet
not
changed
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
nor
renewed
in
nature
,
mind
and
spirit
,
from
the
first
Adam
to
the
second
,
the
Righteousness
and
Holiness
,
brought
forth
in
that
state
,
is
but
the
acting
of
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
and
the
Woolf
putting
on
the
Sheep's-Clothing
;
and
this
God
will
judge
,
and
all
Appearances
without
Life
,
and
all
Shews
without
Substance
;
all
this
will
the
Lord
judge
and
confound
,
and
bring
to
nought
;
for
it
is
but
the
working
of
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
,
who
is
out
of
the
Truth
.
And
this
Mystery
hath
more
abounded
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
then
in
Ages
since
the
Beginning
,
inasmuch
as
this
Mystery
hath
operated
and
displayed
it self
forth
in
a
higher
appearance
and
fairer
shew
than
ever
it
did
before
;
for
this
Mystery
hath
sate
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
shewed
it self
to
be
God
,
and
been
worshipped
above
all
that
is
called
God
;
this
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
the
Man
of
Sin
,
which
hath
put
on
the
Sheep's-Clothing
,
and
shews
it self
as
the
Sheep
of
Christ
,
and
as
Christians
,
and
Churches
;
all
which
hath
been
for
many
Ages
the
Manifestation
of
this
Mystery
,
while
that
the
Mystery
of
the
Devil
hath
not
been
destroyed
:
but
now
is
the
Lord
arisen
,
who
will
discover
and
destroy
this
Mystery
,
and
save
the
Creature
;
and
in
the
destruction
of
this
Mystery
,
is
the
other
Mystery
revealed
,
(
to
wit
)
The
Mystery
of
God
and
of
Christ
;
and
that
is
the
Mystery
of
Christ
,
that
destroyes
the
Mystery
of
Antichrist
and
of
the
Devil
:
And
now
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
the
Lord
Almighty
are
coming
into
this
Mystery
of
God
Eternal
,
who
is
blessed
for
ever
;
and
all
that
is
coming
to
be
overthrown
which
doth
oppose
it
,
and
gainsay
it
;
and
there
is
nothing
that
can
destroy
or
discover
this
Mystery
,
but
the
appearance
of
Christ
the
Son
of
God
;
for
it
is
he
that
doth
discover
and
destroy
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
by
the
Spirit
of
his
Mouth
,
and
by
the
Brightness
of
his
Coming
;
and
this
are
people
coming
to
.
The
Man
of
Sin
is
to
be
thrown
down
,
and
the
Man
of
Righteousness
,
the
Manof
God
is
revealed
,
and
Sons
and
Daughters
shall
shew
him
forth
in
the
World
;
and
the
Mystery
of
God
shall
shew
it self
forth
over
the
World
,
and
in
Nations
;
and
blessed
are
all
they
that
come
to
the
opening
of
this
Mystery
of
God
,
which
is
the
Mystery
of
Life
and
Eternal
Salvation
.

A
Testimony
Concerning
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
what
it
is
in
itself
,
and
how
it
is
obtained
;
and
what
the
true
Guide

is
of
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
.
THis
is
my
Testimony
,
as
I
have
received
from
the
Lord
;
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
is
,
Liberty
and
Freedom
of
the
Conscience
from
the
Bondage
of
Sin
,
and
all
Transgression
past
and
present
;
and
from
whatsoever
hath
been
or
is
a
Burden
or
Oppression
upon
the
Conscience
,
whether
inward
or
outward
;
the
Conscience
,
I
say
,
is
at
Liberty
when
it
is
freed
from
the
Burden
of
the
Guilt
of
Sin
past
,
and
from
the
present
Temptation
unto
Sin
:
And
till
this
is
witnessed
,
there
is
no
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
;
for
every
thing
whatsoever
,
which
is
Sin
and
Transgression
against
God
,
in
Works
or
Words
,
brought
forth
by
the
Creature
,
is
Bondage
and
a
Burden
,
and
oppresseth
the
pure
Conscience
:
and
therefore
perfect
Freedom
from
all
Sin
and
Transgression
is
,
Where
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
is
put
off
,
and
where
the
Evil
is
crucified
,
and
the
guilt
of
it
taken
away
,
and
where
the
Conscience
is
truly
exercised
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
leadeth
into
all
Truth
,
and
preserveth
from
all
Evil
;
then
is
the
Conscience
at
Liberty
,
and
this
is
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
when
this
is
brought
forth
in
the
Creature
:
For
,
where
Sin
is
brought
forth
,
and
Transgression
lived
in
,
there
the
Conscience
is
bound
,
and
the
Cord
of
Iniquity
imbondageth
the
Conscience
,
and
it
hath
not
its
Liberty
in
the
Service
of
God
,
nor
from
the
Service
of
the
Devil
,
because
the
Spirit
of
God
doth
not
exercise
it
;
but
the
spirit
of
Unrighteousness
leadeth
the
Mind
into
the
Lusts
of
this
World
,
into
Lying
,
Swearing
,
Pride
,
Drunkenness
,
Hypocrisie
and
Idolatry
;
and
the
guilt
of
these
things
burdeneth
and
presseth
down
,
and
is
a
Bondage
upon
the
Conscience
:
And
where
the
Conscience
is
bound
by
Unrighteousness
within
,
and
by
the
spirit
of
the
World
,
which
leadeth
contrary
to
the
Lord
;
there
is
no
Power
of
Man
without
can
set
that
Conscience
free
,
or
give
Liberty
to
it
;
because
the
Cord
of
Iniquity
hath
bound
it
within
,
and
the
Burden
of
guilt
is
upon
it
,
and
Conscience
lies
under
Bondage
,
unexercised
with
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
is
free
,
and
setteth
free
the
Conscience
in
the
practice
of
all
Good
,
and
from
the
Power
and
Captivity
of
all
Evil.
Therefore
,
before
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
be
witnessed
,
or
any
have
true
Liberty
in
Conscience
,
Iniquity
must
be
purged
out
,
and
Sin
crucified
,
and
the
Body
of
Death
put
off
,
and
guilt
washed
away
,
and
the
Annointing
received
that
leadeth
into
all
Truth
,
and
the
Blood
of
Christ
(
the
Seed
)
felt
,
that
sprinkleeth
the
Conscience
from
all
Sin
and
Works
of
the
Flesh
,
and
washeth
away
all
that
which
staineth
and
defileth
the
Conscience
;
and
then
the
pure
Conscience
hath
its
true
Liberty
from
the
Bondage
of
all
Evil
,
and
from
the
guilt
thereof
,
and
in
the
Exercise
of
all
good
;
and
this
is
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
thus
it
is
attained
,
and
by
no
other
Way
nor
Means
,
than
by
the
Sword
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
cutteth
down
the
contrary
:
And
where
Conscience
is
thus
freed
within
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
delivered
from
the
bondage
of
Evil
,
and
from
the
burden
of
all
guilt
,
and
exercised
in
all
good
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
Then
nothing
without
,
nor
any
Power
of
Man
,
which
may
work
against
such
by
Persecution
,
and
act
in
opposition
to
such
whose
Consciences
are
thus
freed
,
can
imbondage
the
Conscience
to
God-wards
,
or
bring
it
under
a
burden
to
God-wards
,
I
say
for
it
is
not
altogether
Bondage
of
Conscience
,
or
the
Burden
or
Oppression
upon
his
Conscience
,
that
is
set
free
,
as
aforesaid
,
though
he
is
outwardly
persecuted
by
men
;
for
that
doth
but
hinder
the
Exercise
of
his
Conscience
to
Manwards
,
but
not
to
God-wards
;
for
there
his
Conscience
is
free
,
in
Joy
and
Peace
,
though
,
by
reason
of
Persecution
,
he
cannot
have
the
Exercise
of
it
to
men
:
I
say
,
Though
such
be
put
in
Prison
,
Banished
,
or
whatsoever
Suffering
be
laid
upon
them
,
by
any
Men
,
or
Laws
without
,
yet
their
pure
Conscience
is
Free
,
and
at
Liberty
in
it self
to
God-wards
,
through
all
this
,
and
over
it
all
;
for
the
Lord
hath
set
them
free
from
all
that
Bondage
and
Guilt
of
Iniquity
,
which
hath
been
a
Bondage
upon
their
Consciences
within
:
And
whether
they
do
Suffer
,
or
have
Freedom
or
Captivity
in
their
Persons
from
men
,
yet
is
their
pure
Conscience
at
Liberty
to
God-wards
,
and
in
perfect
freedom
in
it self
,
and
to
themselves
,
though
for
the
Name
of
Christ
and
his
Truth
they
be
persecuted
,
and
all
Evil
done
against
them
by
evil
men
,
and
the
exercise
of
their
pure
Consciences
prevented
,
as
to
Man-wards
.
For
that
which
defiles
the
Conscience
,
doth
bring
it
under
Bondage
;
but
that
which
keeps
it
pure
and
free
from
pollution
,
that
keeps
it
in
Liberty
,
and
in
perfect
freedom
to
God
,
over
all
Persecution
,
and
Evil
Men
,
and
Unjust
Laws
,
which
would
exercise
dominion
in
and
over
the
Consciences
of
the
Saints
,
and
bring
them
into
Captivity
,
as
sometimes
their
Persons
are
by
Evil
Laws
and
Persecutors
.
But
who
stand
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
in
the
exercise
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
freeth
the
Conscience
in
their
own
particulars
(
as
I
have
said
)
doth
not
come
into
Bondage
in
Conscience
to
God-wards
by
Laws
or
Men
,
but
enjoyeth
Freedom
and
Liberty
therein
,
as
much
in
Sufferings
and
in
Persecutions
under
all
the
Cruelty
of
Men
,
as
in
doing
and
practices
when
they
are
not
persecuted
;
for
in
Sufferings
the
Conscience
is
exercised
,
and
hath
its
Liberty
in
Patience
and
Forbearance
;
and
at
Liberty
of
Persons
in
practice
it
is
exercised
,
and
hath
its
Liberty
in
doing
and
performing
whatsoever
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
moveth
and
leadeth
unto
.
And
thus
,
where
God
hath
freed
the
Conscience
,
and
it
is
Free
and
at
Liberty
in
him
and
to
him
,
nothing
without
can
bring
it
into
Bondage
or
Captivity
;
but
in
all
Conditions
and
in
all
Exercises
,
whether
doing
or
suffering
,
the
pure
Conscience
is
in
Liberty
in
it self
,
and
in
perfect
Freedom
in
God
,
through
all
,
over
all
,
and
beyond
all
.
But
now
there
hath
been
a
great
Cry
among
many
(
that
have
professed
Righteousness
and
Religion
)
For
Freedom
of
Conscience
,
and
begging
and
craving
from
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
to
Tolerate
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
and
that
they
might
have
the
Liberty
of
their
Conscience
in
Religion
:
And
thus
some
have
been
looking
too
much
without
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
from
Men
,
and
from
Powers
without
them
,
before
their
Consciences
were
set
free
by
the
Lord
within
,
&
the
Bond
of
Iniquity
broken
,
and
that
Burden
of
Iniquity
and
Guilt
done
away
,
which
hath
been
a
Burden
&
Bondage
upon
the
Conscience
:
For
,
as
I
have
said
,
No
Man
nor
Powers
of
the
Earth
can
truly
Free
or
give
Liberty
to
the
Conscience
,
which
is
bound
by
the
Cord
of
Iniquity
within
.
But
't
is
evident
,
The
Cry
for
Liberty
hath
not
been
so
much
for
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
,
truly
so
,
as
for
the
freedom
each
one
of
their
Sect
,
and
for
their
Liberty
in
the
practice
of
their
own
Worship
and
Conformity
;
and
thereupon
have
divers
men
of
divers
Sects
sought
to
the
Powers
of
Men
and
of
the
Earth
,
to
grant
them
Liberty
of
their
Consciences
;
whenas
it
hath
been
rather
for
the
Freedom
to
and
Defence
of
their
Sect
,
and
of
their
Practices
in
their
Worship
,
than
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
truly
so
;
for
while
they
have
cryed
for
Liberty
from
without
,
yet
Sin
,
and
Iniquity
,
and
Transgression
have
lain
upon
their
Conscience
within
;
and
they
have
sought
from
Men
for
the
Liberty
of
their
Sect
,
to
practice
their
own
Worship
,
which
they
have
called
Liberty
of
Conscience
:
And
to
this
Intent
by
some
hath
been
the
Cry
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
that
their
Sect
and
their
own
Wayes
of
Worship
might
be
defended
from
the
Violence
of
others
,
who
have
opposed
their
Practices
and
Worships
:
for
People
of
divers
Wayes
of
Worship
,
and
of
divers
Sects
,
have
all
been
at
Strife
one
with
another
,
and
divided
one
against
another
,
and
yet
all
professed
good
Conscience
,
and
cryed
for
Liberty
thereof
from
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
;
not
but
that
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
ought
to
grant
free
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
Exercise
of
every
Sect
of
Religion
,
and
to
suffer
all
to
profess
and
practice
their
Religion
,
while
they
walk
justly
and
Peaceably
in
a
Land
:
But
here
hath
lodged
the
Deceit
and
Deceivableness
of
the
spirit
of
Satan
in
the
Hearts
of
men
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
of
all
those
divers
false
Sects
and
Worshippers
;
they
have
therein
zealously
gone
on
,
and
pleaded
for
their
Sects
and
Worship
,
though
never
so
gross
or
dark
,
and
contrary
to
Truth
,
under
the
denomination
of
Freedom
and
Liberty
of
good
Conscience
;
and
the
very
Title
and
Name
hath
been
the
Colour
,
and
deceived
many
,
while
a
false
Worship
and
false
Sects
have
gone
under
the
Name
of
Liberty
of
good
Conscience
;
and
Thousands
have
been
deceived
,
and
blindly
led
into
such
a
false
Sect
,
and
into
such
a
Profession
,
to
act
and
perform
with
great
Zeal
false
Practices
in
a
false
Worship
,
falsly
supposing
it
to
be
out
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
that
they
have
acted
in
the
Liberty
thereof
;
yea
,
and
many
may
suffer
great
and
grievous
things
,
and
some
the
loss
of
their
Lives
,
for
the
very
Practice
of
false
things
and
false
worships
in
a
false
Sect
,
and
yet
under
the
name
of
good
Conscience
,
and
for
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
as
they
may
profess
and
believe
.
But
this
may
seem
strange
to
be
spoken
to
some
,
who
may
enquire
how
it
comes
to
pass
,
and
how
this
may
be
,
That
many
may
suffer
great
and
grievous
Cruelties
,
and
some
the
loss
of
their
Lives
,
for
the
Practice
of
false
Things
,
and
the
Exercise
of
false
Worships
,
which
they
may
suppose
to
be
out
of
good
Conscience
,
and
for
good
Conscience
sake
;
whereas
it
is
not
truly
so
,
nor
rightly
so
:
But
how
happeneth
this
,
may
some
say
?
I
Answer
.
This
cometh
to
pass
after
this
manner
;
Because
Conscience
is
made
of
that
,
and
of
the
Things
and
Performances
which
God
requires
not
;
and
so
there
is
a
great
Zeal
in
the
doing
and
performing
of
such
a
Practice
and
such
a
Worship
,
whenas
the
Lord
doth
not
require
these
things
at
their
Hands
;
and
this
is
,
because
the
Mind
,
and
Heart
,
and
Conscience
is
dark
,
and
not
truly
informed
nor
guided
with
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
of
the
Father
;
but
a
false
spirit
ruleth
and
leadeth
the
Conscience
,
and
it
is
not
exercised
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
that
leadeth
into
all
Truth
.
So
I
do
acknowledge
,
that
Conscience
may
be
mis-led
,
and
mis-guided
,
and
mis-informed
;
and
Conscience
may
be
made
of
doing
such
and
such
things
which
the
Lord
doth
not
require
;
and
there
may
be
a
Fear
not
taught
of
the
Lord
,
nor
received
by
the
sence
of
his
Presence
,
but
only
received
into
the
Heart
by
the
Precepts
of
men
,
Example
of
others
,
Custom
of
Times
,
or
the
like
:
and
here
the
Conscience
being
not
truly
informed
,
nor
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
there
is
a
false
Fear
and
Zealousness
in
the
performing
of
such
things
which
the
Lord
doth
not
require
,
nor
his
Spirit
lead
into
the
practice
of
;
but
only
the
Traditions
and
Precepts
of
men
,
hath
placed
a
false
Law
and
Commandment
,
which
requires
a
false
Obedience
;
which
many
,
whose
Understandings
are
blinded
,
and
being
without
true
Knowledge
,
they
zealously
perform
and
practice
as
the
Worship
of
God
,
thinking
themselves
bound
in
Conscience
to
practice
such
things
,
and
not
to
leave
them
undone
;
whenas
the
Lord
and
his
Righteous
Spirit
leadeth
not
to
them
,
nor
yet
his
Just
Law
doth
require
the
doing
thereof
;
but
only
a
false
Law
and
Commandment
is
received
by
Precepts
and
Traditions
of
men
,
or
from
looking
upon
the
Practice
of
others
:
By
such
means
as
this
there
is
a
false
Fear
in
a
blind
mis-guided
Conscience
,
and
a
Zeal
without
true
Knowledge
.
And
thus
it
was
amongst
the
Iews
in
the
Prophets
dayes
,
They
Sacrificed
their
Children
,
and
cut
themselves
,
and
caused
their
Children
to
pass
through
the
Fire
,
and
did
many
things
zealously
;
whenas
saith
the
Lord
,
Who
hath
required
these
things
at
your
hands
?
for
they
come
not
into
my
heart
.
And
Paul
witnesseth
the
same
of
the
Iews
in
his
dayes
,
and
bore
them
record
,
that
they
had
a
Zeal
,
but
it
was
not
according
to
True
Knowledge
.
And
thus
the
Iews
were
zealously
performing
that
,
as
their
Duty
,
and
as
out
of
a
Good
Conscience
,
which
the
Lord
required
not
at
their
hands
;
and
so
they
made
Conscience
to
do
that
,
which
the
Lord
required
not
,
and
their
Consciences
were
mis-led
,
and
not
righly
informed
;
and
as
it
was
amongst
the
Iews
in
this
case
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
so
now
is
it
amongst
the
Christians
in
the
Apostacy
,
their
Consciences
being
mis-guided
by
a
false
spirit
,
they
are
doing
and
performing
the
things
in
great
Zeal
,
and
for
the
exercise
of
their
Consciences
,
which
the
Lord
doth
not
require
of
them
:
Thus
do
the
Papists
;
they
do
and
practise
the
things
in
great
Zeal
,
and
through
a
false
Fear
in
their
blind
Consciences
,
which
things
are
in
themselves
Idolatry
,
and
not
commanded
nor
required
of
the
Lord
;
as
in
many
particulars
I
might
shew
,
even
in
many
parts
of
their
Worship
and
Religion
,
which
out
of
a
Fear
,
and
blind
Zeal
,
and
mis-guided
Conscience
they
practise
;
which
is
in
it self
but
Idolatry
,
and
not
required
nor
accepted
of
the
Lord
.
And
many
things
in
relation
to
the
Protestants
Worship
,
and
amongst
all
the
several
false
Sects
upon
Earth
,
which
are
done
and
practised
in
great
Zeal
,
and
out
of
a
false
Fear
,
and
as
in
pretence
of
a
good
Conscience
,
and
yet
are
things
in
themselves
Idolatrous
,
as
done
and
practised
by
them
:
And
this
comes
to
passe
,
as
I
have
said
because
,
the
Conscience
is
mis-informed
,
and
a
false
spirit
guides
and
rules
in
the
exercise
of
Conscience
,
and
the
understanding
of
the
People
is
blinded
,
and
they
know
not
but
they
do
well
,
though
their
minds
are
captivated
,
and
their
minds
and
judgments
in
error
;
and
though
there
be
a
sincerity
to
God-wards
,
and
a
desire
of
Him
in
the
bottom
,
among
some
People
of
all
Forms
and
Sects
,
and
some
of
all
are
zealous
towards
God
in
their
practices
,
in
their
Religion
and
Worship
;
yet
among
all
People
,
and
the
Churches
that
have
been
for
many
Generations
there
hath
been
great
Error
in
Judgment
,
and
much
blindness
in
mind
,
and
the
Conscience
falsly
exercised
towards
God
,
and
the
Superscription
hath
been
,
To
the
Unknown
God
;
and
He
hath
been
ignorantly
worshipped
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
hath
not
truly
exercised
Peoples
Consciences
,
nor
guided
their
Zeal
,
nor
been
Ruler
in
the
Judgment
;
And
by
this
means
the
sincerity
and
humility
towards
God
hath
been
eaten
out
,
and
always
quenched
,
and
the
bare
practice
of
things
and
profession
of
Religion
in
the
outward
appearance
,
hath
been
more
lookt
at
,
than
the
presence
of
God
felt
in
the
Practices
:
and
the
Zeal
hath
been
more
for
the
performance
of
such
things
,
than
for
God
purely
enjoyed
through
them
:
And
thus
it
hath
been
through
Christendom
in
the
Apostacy
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
and
true
Churches
;
Many
have
erred
in
their
Judgments
,
and
the
Zeal
for
God
hath
proceeded
out
of
the
error
of
Iudgments
,
and
out
of
mis-information
of
Conscience
,
some
other
things
,
than
only
the
Spirit
of
God
,
hath
ruled
in
the
Iudgment
,
and
been
the
exercise
of
Peoples
Consciences
.
And
this
is
a
hint
of
things
,
about
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
;
and
about
the
Error
in
Iudgment
;
and
the
blind
Zeal
in
captivated
sincerity
.
Now
it
may
be
objected
,
What
is
the
only
absolute
Rule
of
the
right
Exercise
of
Conscience
;
and
when
are
Mens
Consciences
truly
guided
?
To
this
I
answer
,
The
only
chief
and
perfect
Rule
of
the
right
Exercise
of
Conscience
,
both
to
God
and
all
men
,
is
The
Spirit
of
Christ
:
for
it
is
only
that
which
can
truly
guide
the
Conscience
,
in
Faith
,
Doctrine
and
Worship
,
and
in
all
things
towards
God
;
even
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
which
is
the
gift
of
the
Father
,
it
only
leadeth
into
all
Truth
,
as
it
is
written
;
and
all
,
whose
Consciences
are
guided
and
exercised
by
it
,
are
in
unity
and
Peace
in
their
Worship
,
Doctrine
,
and
Religion
;
for
the
Spirit
of
Christ
is
but
one
in
it self
,
and
guideth
the
Conscience
into
the
exercise
of
one
Truth
and
Faith
;
and
in
this
same
Spirit
is
true
●nion
and
Communion
of
SAINTS
in
Religion
and
Worship
,
and
this
is
manifest
through
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
Apostle
exhorted
,
To
walk
in
the
Spirit
,
and
by
it
;
and
as
many
as
walked
by
the
Rule
of
the
Spirit
Peace
be
upon
them
;
and
it
is
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
the
Everlasting
Comforter
,
that
teacheth
all
Truth
;
and
the
Holy
Anointing
of
the
Spirit
that
dwelt
in
the
Saints
,
taught
them
all
things
;
and
they
need
no
man
to
teach
them
,
but
as
the
Anointing
that
dwelt
in
them
.
And
then
are
mens
Consciences
truly
guided
in
all
the
Ways
of
Righteousness
,
when
the
Spirit
of
God
guides
the
Conscience
,
and
is
the
Rule
of
all
Faith
,
Doctrine
and
Practices
.
So
that
Traditions
of
Men
,
Prescriptions
of
Councils
,
Antiquity
of
Time
,
Commandments
of
Men
,
nor
Example
of
others
,
without
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
cannot
be
the
only
true
Rule
of
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
;
for
all
these
things
are
changeable
,
alterable
and
subject
to
variations
,
and
therefore
cannot
infallibly
guide
the
Conscience
in
the
Duty
towards
God
,
nor
rightly
exercise
the
Conscience
in
Unity
and
Peace
;
but
while
a
Nation
,
or
Kingdom
or
People
walk
by
the
Rule
of
Traditions
,
Prescriptions
,
Commandments
of
Men
,
Example
of
others
,
or
the
like
,
they
err
in
Judgment
,
in
Faith
,
Doctrine
and
Worship
,
and
are
all
divided
,
&
in
Contention
about
these
matters
,
because
their
Rule
of
Conscience
and
Judgment
is
doubtful
and
alterable
,
and
not
infallible
;
and
therefore
they
have
no
perfect
assurance
of
Gods
acceptation
to
them
in
their
Faith
and
Religion
,
nor
perfect
Peace
and
Unity
in
their
Faith
and
Worship
:
But
as
the
Rule
of
their
Consciences
in
their
Duty
towards
God
is
divers
,
some
make
one
thing
,
and
some
another
their
Rule
;
so
are
they
divers
and
divided
in
what
they
hold
,
profess
and
practice
,
and
are
but
of
great
Babylon
in
their
Religion
:
And
because
that
something
besides
the
Spirit
of
God
exercises
the
Conscience
,
therefore
it
is
that
here
are
so
many
Wayes
and
Sects
of
Religigion
,
and
kinds
of
Worship
in
Christendom
and
amongst
Christians
,
while
the
Spirit
of
Christ
only
is
not
the
Rule
of
Iudgement
and
Exercise
of
Conscience
to
God
and
Man
;
for
the
only
perfect
Rule
of
Conscience
in
the
Exercise
to
God
,
is
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
not
any
other
thing
.
And
now
,
Whosoever
shall
persecute
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
,
when
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
such
persecute
Christ
Jesus
:
And
this
is
Persecution
for
the
Name
of
Christ
,
when
Sufferings
are
inflicted
,
as
Reproaches
,
Imprisonment
,
or
whatsoever
,
for
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
towards
God
by
his
Spirit
:
but
and
if
any
are
persecuted
for
Religion-sake
,
only
so
;
if
that
in
such
their
Exercise
of
Religion
they
are
not
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
yet
that
suffering
is
a
kind
of
Persecution
also
:
if
,
I
say
,
the
Suffering
be
only
for
and
because
of
their
Religions-sake
,
and
they
walk
Justly
and
Righteously
,
as
men
;
so
that
(
as
is
signified
about
the
middle
of
this
Chapter
)
though
some
may
profess
good
Conscience
,
and
cry
for
Liberty
thereof
in
their
false
Sect
and
Religion
,
not
taught
them
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
;
yet
the
Civil
Magistrate
ought
not
to
punish
and
use
Violence
to
such
for
their
Religion
;
but
if
they
do
,
they
persecute
,
and
the
Lord
will
lay
it
to
their
charge
.
But
yet
,
this
is
safe
for
all
,
first
to
obtain
true
Liberty
of
Conscience
to
God-wards
,
and
to
receive
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
to
be
taught
only
by
it
in
the
Exercise
of
Conscience
and
Religion
that
they
may
not
err
in
Conscience
and
Judgment
in
spiritual
Matters
,
nor
suffer
Wrongfully
under
pretence
of
Righteousness
sake
,
whenas
it
is
not
truly
so
.
CHAP
IV.
Concerning
the
Diversity
of
Iudgments
in
Religion
.
TO
all
ye
that
are
of
divers
Judgments
and
Opinions
in
and
concerning
Spiritual
Matters
,
who
are
divided
about
Faith
,
Doctrine
,
Worship
and
Church
Government
;
some
of
you
holding
one
thing
,
&
some
another
different
and
contrary
to
that
,
being
diversly
divided
in
mind
and
heart
concerning
the
matters
that
are
one
in
themselves
,
&
to
which
you
all
assent
,
as
to
the
things
in
themselves
,
and
yet
are
different
&
contrary
minded
about
the
self-same
things
:
To
you
all
I
am
moved
to
write
,
that
so
ye
may
be
informed
perfectly
;
First
,
What
the
Cause
is
of
your
Divisions
,
and
why
it
is
thus
amongst
you
:
And
Secondly
,
Of
the
bad
Effects
and
Fruits
such
Divisions
have
brought
forth
:
And
Lastly
,
The
Meant
and
Way
of
Reconciliation
,
that
ye
may
come
into
Love
,
and
Peace
and
Unity
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
,
in
all
things
pertaining
to
his
Kingdom
.
First
,
The
Cause
of
your
Divisions
,
and
of
the
Diversities
of
Judgments
and
Opinions
that
are
amongst
you
concerning
the
Things
and
Matters
of
God's
Kingdom
is
,
Because
you
want
the
Spirit
of
God
to
guide
you
,
and
it
is
not
the
Rule
of
your
Knowledge
and
Iudgment
;
and
you
wanting
the
Spirit
of
God
,
in
which
is
Unity
among
Saints
,
therefore
is
it
you
are
so
divided
,
and
divers
,
and
different
,
and
contrary
one
to
another
in
these
things
;
it
is
,
because
ye
want
the
Spirit
of
God
,
I
say
,
which
only
teacheth
the
true
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
gives
an
Understanding
in
all
his
Wayes
and
Matters
:
It
is
the
Spirit
of
God
that
teacheth
true
Faith
,
true
Doctrine
and
true
Worship
,
and
all
things
about
Church
,
Ministry
and
Religion
;
and
if
that
you
had
the
Spirit
of
God
in
you
,
and
were
taught
and
guided
by
it
,
it
would
teach
you
into
one
Faith
,
and
one
Truth
,
and
into
the
true
Worship
,
and
into
the
true
Church-Government
,
and
you
would
be
in
Unity
and
Peace
:
And
if
you
all
had
the
Spirit
of
God
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
which
Spirit
the
Saints
of
God
were
guided
in
dayes
past
,
it
would
teach
you
into
Unity
,
and
to
be
of
one
Mind
,
one
Heart
,
and
one
Soul
,
in
all
the
Matters
pertaining
to
God's
Kingdom
,
in
Faith
,
Worship
,
Doctrine
,
and
all
things
else
:
If
you
had
the
Spirit
of
God
,
I
say
,
and
were
taught
by
it
,
then
you
would
have
Unity
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
in
all
his
Wayes
,
and
there
would
have
been
no
Division
nor
Contention
amongst
you
about
spiritual
Matters
;
but
because
you
want
that
,
therefore
you
have
Strife
and
Division
amongst
you
,
even
throughout
all
Christendom
;
Here
's
a
Nation
and
a
Kingdom
holding
such
a
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
there
's
another
People
holding
Faith
and
Worship
contrary
to
that
;
and
here
's
one
Sect
of
People
,
and
there
's
another
different
in
Faith
,
Judgment
and
Opinion
;
and
this
is
a
Shame
to
whole
Christendom
,
That
all
should
profess
Christ
Iesus
,
and
Faith
in
him
,
and
Salvation
by
him
,
and
his
Doctrine
and
Worship
,
and
yet
be
in
strife
&
division
,
and
in
great
contentions
concerning
the
same
;
some
holding
and
practizing
one
manner
of
Faith
,
Worship
and
Doctrine
,
and
others
holding
contrary
and
different
;
and
this
shews
,
that
ye
are
all
fallen
from
the
Life
of
Christianity
,
as
it
was
held
in
the
Apostles
dayes
amongst
the
true
Churches
;
for
,
they
were
of
one
heart
,
mind
,
soul
and
spirit
,
as
it
is
written
;
they
were
of
one
Faith
,
of
one
Worship
,
of
one
Doctrine
,
and
had
one
way
of
Church-Government
;
and
this
continued
amongst
the
Churches
of
Christ
,
till
there
were
some
that
had
Erred
from
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
then
they
also
Erred
in
Faith
,
in
Doctrine
,
and
in
all
other
things
relating
to
God
:
and
these
were
the
Apostate
Christians
,
that
had
erred
from
the
Spirit
,
and
divided
themselves
from
the
true
Church
,
and
differed
in
Judgment
amongst
themselves
;
and
this
was
,
because
they
had
erred
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
would
have
kept
them
in
Unity
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
;
for
the
Spirit
is
the
Bond
of
Peace
,
and
the
Seal
of
the
Covenant
of
Love
amongst
the
Saints
.
So
now
,
All
ye
who
are
divided
in
your
Knowledge
and
Iudgement
,
and
are
in
contention
one
with
another
,
about
the
matters
pertaining
to
God's
Kingdom
,
you
are
the
apostate
Christians
,
and
you
are
without
the
Spirit
of
Christ
:
The
first
apostate
Christians
erred
from
the
Spirit
,
and
so
became
divided
from
the
true
Faith
,
and
from
the
true
Worship
,
and
also
among
themselves
;
and
you
never
yet
received
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
that
you
might
come
into
Unity
and
Fellowship
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
;
and
that
is
the
Reason
of
all
your
Divisions
in
Religious
matters
,
because
you
have
not
received
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
to
teach
you
,
and
to
unite
your
Hearts
to
God
,
and
one
to
another
:
but
you
having
the
Scriptures
traditionally
,
by
discent
through
Ages
,
which
do
describe
and
declare
of
that
Faith
and
Doctrine
,
and
of
the
Worship
and
Church-Government
,
which
were
among
the
Saints
of
old
,
which
they
held
and
practised
,
and
from
the
Scriptures
which
declare
of
the
things
,
from
thence
you
take
up
a
Conceit
and
false
Judgment
,
and
an
Imitation
,
and
a
false
Conformity
;
and
then
each
sort
of
you
call
that
your
Faith
,
and
Church-Government
,
and
some
after
one
manner
of
form
,
and
some
after
another
;
and
thus
you
are
divided
,
because
you
want
the
Spirit
of
God
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
which
Spirit
did
work
true
Faith
in
the
hearts
of
them
that
gave
them
forth
in
dayes
of
old
,
and
it
taught
them
Worship
,
Faith
,
Doctrine
,
and
all
things
concerning
Gods
Kingdom
,
for
the
Spirit
led
them
into
all
Truth
;
and
now
you
wanting
the
same
Spirit
that
wrought
in
them
,
and
taught
them
;
and
you
having
but
their
words
(
to
wit
,
the
Scriptures
)
from
thence
,
in
the
Wisdom
which
is
below
,
and
in
the
carnal
Reason
,
and
in
the
first
mans
understanding
,
each
Nation
takes
up
a
conceit
,
that
it
is
so
and
so
,
and
takes
up
an
Imitation
of
Worship
and
Church-Government
according
to
their
own
sensual
wisdom
,
and
according
to
the
breadth
and
depth
of
their
Conceits
;
and
then
imitates
,
and
that
severally
and
diversly
,
and
in
a
divided
manner
;
and
this
is
amongst
Kingdoms
,
and
amongst
Neighbours
and
Brethren
,
this
Division
in
matters
of
Faith
,
Worship
and
Doctrine
,
and
Church-Government
;
and
yet
all
these
have
had
the
name
of
Christians
,
and
Church
Members
,
and
Worshippers
of
God
,
but
yet
are
of
many
wayes
of
Worship
,
holding
different
and
contrary
Principles
of
Faith
and
Doctrine
,
and
also
of
Worship
and
Church-Government
,
and
thus
have
Nations
Cities
and
Countries
been
for
many
Ages
;
and
thus
hath
it
been
,
and
is
at
this
day
amongst
the
Apostate
Christians
,
that
want
the
Spirit
of
Christ
to
be
their
Rule
of
Knowledge
,
of
Iudgment
,
and
Worship
,
and
of
their
Faith
and
Practices
in
Religion
.
And
this
is
a
shame
to
whole
Christendom
,
amongst
whom
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
hath
entered
,
which
hath
thus
divided
Nations
Cities
Neighbours
and
Brothers
;
for
all
these
Divisions
about
Religion
amongst
the
Apostate
Christians
,
are
of
Antichrist
,
and
not
of
God
;
it
is
that
spirit
of
Antichrist
that
hath
wrought
all
these
Divisions
,
and
planted
them
in
the
minds
of
People

,
Concerning
the
bad
Effects
of
these
Divisions
in
matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
,
as
I
have
said
,
This
Division
in
Religion
hath
begotten
and
brought
forth
very
much
Evil
throughout
the
World
,
much
heart
burning
,
envy
,
hard
heartedness
,
strife
and
contention
between
Kings
and
Rulers
,
and
between
Nations
,
between
Cities
,
between
Neighbours
,
and
between
Brothers
;
this
Division
hath
bad
Effects
amongst
all
these
;
so
that
it
hath
brought
forth
much
War
and
bloodshed
between
Kings
,
and
great
Persecution
between
Rulers
and
their
People
,
and
great
Debate
and
Strife
amongst
Neighbours
and
Friends
;
so
that
great
Murders
and
losse
of
many
Lives
have
been
produced
and
brought
forth
upon
this
Quarrel
,
about
Difference
in
matters
of
Faith
and
Religion
;
and
Antichrist
hath
not
only
divided
People
in
Iudgment
,
but
hath
also
Provoked
People
into
rage
and
envy
,
to
the
killing
and
destroying
of
one
another
;
and
even
that
Division
about
Spiritual
things
,
begotten
by
Antichrist
amongst
false
Christians
,
hath
been
turned
into
personal
enmity
,
and
brought
forth
in
the
end
murdering
and
killing
the
bodies
of
Thousands
,
when
the
original
debate
hath
arisen
about
Church-Government
,
or
Points
of
Religion
;
and
this
is
the
woful
Effect
that
Division
of
Religion
,
hath
brought
forth
in
all
Christendom
;
And
all
this
Fruit
and
Effects
,
as
well
as
the
Cause
of
it
,
hath
been
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Dragon
and
the
Devil
throughout
the
World
;
all
this
Persecution
and
spoyling
of
Goods
,
Imprisoning
of
Persons
,
taking
away
of
Lives
,
and
Banishment
,
and
whatsoever
Persecution
otherwise
that
hath
risen
and
been
inflicted
upon
any
,
for
and
because
of
Differences
in
Religion
,
and
about
Faith
and
Worship
,
all
this
hath
been
of
Antichrist
;
and
even
all
Laws
made
for
that
end
,
and
all
Executors
of
such
Laws
,
and
all
Penalties
of
such
Laws
,
and
all
Wars
and
Bloodshed
whatsoever
that
have
ensued
only
and
upon
the
account
of
Differences
in
Religion
,
that
being
the
first
,
and
the
only
ground
of
the
Quarrel
;
All
this
hath
been
of
Antichrist
,
and
it
came
out
of
the
bottomless
Pit
,
and
never
rose
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
but
from
the
Antichristian
spirit
of
Envy
and
Wickedness
,
that
hath
first
divided
People
about
matters
of
Faith
and
Religion
,
and
then
Provoked
them
to
envy
and
malice
,
stirring
up
Kings
to
fight
one
against
another
,
that
was
not
of
their
Religion
,
but
different
and
contrary
to
it
:
And
so
the
hearts
of
Rulers
have
been
stirred
up
to
persecute
all
under
them
,
that
were
different
&
contrary
in
matters
of
Faith
,
Worship
,
and
Religion
;
and
this
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
hath
effected
throughout
Christendom
:
and
so
each
King
that
hath
been
strongest
,
would
maintain
the
Principles
of
his
Faith
,
and
the
Practice
of
Religion
,
according
to
his
own
Conceit
,
in
his
Dominions
:
And
thus
hath
Religion
,
Worships
,
and
Church-Government
been
set
up
&
stood
amongst
Apostate
Christians
throughout
the
World
,
by
Force
and
Power
,
and
by
violent
Laws
,
and
through
Persecutions
and
Murders
;
and
all
this
hath
been
by
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
has
had
no
hand
in
those
matters
,
for
setting
up
and
contriving
of
false
Faith
,
false
Worship
,
and
false
Church-Governments
;
all
this
hath
depended
upon
the
Powers
and
Authorities
of
the
Earth
,
through
many
Ages
:
and
what
Religion
,
and
Church-Government
,
or
Way
of
Worship
,
that
Kings
or
Queens
have
set
up
,
that
only
hath
been
promoted
;
but
all
the
rest
Persecuted
and
restrained
by
force
and
violence
;
and
all
this
hath
been
of
Antichrist
.
And
now
to
all
ye
that
are
of
divers
Judgments
in
matters
of
Faith
and
Worship
in
Religion
,
this
is
a
Caution
to
you
all
;
and
I
do
warn
you
all
in
the
presence
of
the
living
God
,
that
though
ye
be
divided
in
the
belief
and
practice
of
Spiritual
things
,
yet
live
in
peace
and
unity
with
all
men
,
in
all
outward
relations
,
and
do
not
envy
nor
hurt
one
anothers
Persons
;
though
you
are
in
difference
about
Religion
;
yet
suffer
not
that
Difference
to
grow
into
persecuting
or
envying
one
anothers
persons
,
but
seek
to
inform
one
another
,
and
instruct
one
another
in
the
Spirit
of
Meekness
,
and
perswade
one
another
out
of
that
which
is
evil
,
to
that
which
is
good
,
by
patience
,
gentlèness
,
and
long-suffering
,
and
do
not
force
one
anothér
by
violence
,
nor
persecute
one
another
,
neither
by
words
,
evil-deeds
,
nor
actions
,
but
live
in
love
to
the
persons
every
one
of
another
;
and
fight
not
with
Persons
,
nor
kill
one
anothers
Persons
with
carnal
weapons
about
Religion
,
but
take
the
spiritual
weapons
,
&
war
with
the
spirit
against
the
evil
one
in
one
another
;
and
love
persons
though
they
are
enemies
,
&
this
is
Christs
Doctrine
,
&
ne●er
hereafter
let
your
divisions
about
Spiritual
things
grow
into
personal
quarrels
,
to
the
envying
or
killing
one
another
:
And
this
is
a
Charge
to
you
all
in
the
presence
of
the
living
God
.
Lastly
,
The
Means
and
Way
to
be
reconciled
and
to
come
out
of
all
Division
and
Strife
,
and
to
come
into
Peace
with
God
and
one
with
another
,
about
Faith
and
Church-Government
,
is
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
every
one
of
you
in
particular
must
receive
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
that
it
may
work
in
every
one
of
your
hearts
,
true
Faith
,
and
teach
every
one
of
you
the
true
Worship
of
God
,
and
the
way
of
Doctrine
and
true
Church-Government
;
it
is
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
every
one
both
male
and
female
,
that
must
reconcile
and
bring
into
unity
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
in
all
Spiritual
things
;
for
it
is
that
which
is
the
bond
of
peace
and
love
among
true
Christians
;
and
it
is
that
which
reconciles
Peoples
hearts
into
oneness
:
And
if
you
receive
that
Spirit
every
particular
person
of
you
,
it
will
bring
you
to
be
of
on●
Faith
of
one
Worship
,
and
then
your
Doctrine
and
Church-Government
will
agree
:
if
you
receive
the
Spirit
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
,
it
will
work
in
you
the
same
Faith
,
and
lead
you
in
the
same
way
of
Worship
which
the
Scriptures
speak
of
,
and
then
you
will
cease
taking
up
Conceits
,
and
making
Imitations
of
Church-Governments
from
the
Letter
,
but
the
same
Spirit
will
work
in
your
hearts
Faith
and
Knowledge
in
the
fulfilling
of
the
Scriptures
;
and
this
is
true
Christianity
,
and
the
other
is
the
way
of
all
Apostate
Christians
,
all
Imitations
from
the
Letter
without
the
Spirit
as
gave
it
forth
:
for
there
is
a
great
deal
of
difference
between
making
a
Conformity
in
the
Imitation
of
a
Worship
,
and
Church-Government
,
from
the
Scriptures
without
the
Spirit
,
and
between
the
Spirits
teaching
and
leading
into
the
same
Truth
,
and
same
Worship
and
Church-Government
which
the
Scriptures
speak
of
;
the
one
is
of
Christ
,
and
is
in
unity
,
peace
,
and
everlasting
fellowship
;
the
other
is
of
Antichrist
,
and
is
in
division
,
strife
and
contention
:
so
you
must
all
wait
for
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
that
you
may
receive
it
,
to
work
in
your
hearts
,
to
teach
you
,
and
lead
you
,
or
else
you
will
never
come
to
true
Union
and
everlasting
Fellowship
with
God
,
and
one
with
another
;
neither
can
you
be
of
one
true
Faith
,
in
one
true
way
of
Worship
,
nor
in
one
way
of
Church-Government
,
except
you
receive
the
Spirit
,
and
walk
in
the
Spirit
,
And
these
be
the
words
of
the
Lord
God
unto
you
all
Now
as
concerning
the
Way
of
Uniformity
in
Faith
and
Church-Government
,
imposed
upon
Nations
,
and
Countries
and
Cities
,
by
cruel
Laws
of
Kings
and
Rulers
,
as
hath
been
the
practice
through
Christendom
,
to
cause
a
whole
Nation
and
Kingdom
to
bow
and
conform
to
such
Principles
of
Faith
,
and
Worship
and
Church-Government
,
according
to
the
Will
and
Pleasure
of
a
King
or
a
Ruler
,
such
Uniformity
,
and
Union
and
Fellowship
among
Christians
hath
not
been
of
Christ
,
where
people
have
walked
by
Imitation
and
conformed
to
the
Commands
of
Men
in
such
a
Faith
,
or
to
such
a
Worship
,
or
Church-Government
;
this
hath
not
been
of
God
,
neither
could
this
Unity
stand
or
remain
forever
;
but
it
hath
perished
,
and
will
perish
where-ever
it
is
:
and
that
Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
Church-Government
,
which
is
so
set
up
,
and
so
held
,
will
never
save
the
Soul
,
nor
comfort
it
;
but
it
is
blasted
of
God
:
Whilst
a
Nation
,
or
a
Kingdom
,
or
a
People
have
Uniformity
,
or
hold
Faith
,
Worship
or
Religion
,
either
in
the
ignorance
of
their
Consciences
,
or
contrary
to
their
Consciences
,
by
the
force
of
mens
commandments
,
and
not
by
the
perswasion
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
Consciences
;
such
Conformity
,
I
say
,
is
of
Antichrist
,
&
not
of
the
Father
,
neither
can
it
stand
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
;
but
the
Fire
of
his
Wrath
will
consume
it
:
All
the
apostate
Christians
,
in
their
uniformity
of
Faith
,
Worship
and
Church-Government
,
which
is
some
other
way
,
or
by
some
other
means
,
than
only
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
is
of
Antichrist
,
and
will
be
confounded
;
for
there
is
no
true
Unity
and
Fellowship
in
the
ways
of
God
and
his
Truth
and
Worship
,
but
what
is
in
the
spirit
,
and
that
Unity
will
stand
forever
;
for
it
is
in
God
,
not
feigned
,
neither
because
of
the
Love
and
Fear
of
this
World
,
as
the
other
is
.
That
Uniformity
in
Faith
and
Worship
which
is
forced
upon
people
,
is
all
but
Hypocrisie
and
Deceit
,
both
to
God
and
man
,
and
God
will
judge
it
in
the
Imposers
and
Imposed
:
Therefore
no
true
Unity
in
Faith
,
nor
Worship
,
nor
in
Religion
,
but
what
is
in
and
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
for
as
Christians
come
to
divide
themselves
into
many
Ways
,
and
into
divers
Sects
,
when
they
went
from
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
lost
it
,
and
whilst
they
have
been
without
the
Spirit
,
they
have
remained
in
Division
,
Strife
and
Contention
about
Religion
;
so
now
the
means
and
way
to
come
into
Union
,
and
Fellowship
and
Faith
is
,
by
receiving
the
Spirit
of
God
again
,
and
not
any
otherwise
;
and
as
Christians
are
brought
again
to
receive
this
Spirit
,
and
walk
therein
,
all
Division
and
Strife
about
Religion
will
cease
,
and
the
cursed
Fruits
&
Effects
thereof
will
also
wither
,
and
be
no
more
,
but
then
Unity
,
Peace
,
Blessedness
,
Everlasting
Fellowship
and
Comfort
with
the
Lord
,
and
one
with
another
,
in
all
his
Wayes
,
will
be
witnessed
amongst
all
People
.

The
FIFTH
GENERAL
EPISTLE
:
Being
A
Tender
Salutation
OF
PERFECT
LOVE
,
Unto
the
Elect
of
God
,
the
Royal
Seed
,
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
;
who
have
Believed
the
Testimony
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
Walk
in
the
Light
that
hath
enlightened
every
man
that
comes
into
the
World
.
IN
the
Name
and
Power
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
blessed
forever
,
the
Tender
Salutation
of
my
Immortal
Life
is
daily
abounding
towards
you
,
who
are
the
true
Flock
of
the
Father's
Love
and
Care
,
who
hath
begotten
you
to
himself
by
his
Word
that
lives
forever
in
us
and
with
us
,
that
ye
should
be
a
People
Chosen
and
Elected
of
him
unto
Eternal
Blessings
,
and
to
be
a
Praise
and
an
Honour
to
him
throughout
the
World
,
by
and
through
the
vertue
of
his
Life
and
Power
,
and
in
the
Fruits
of
his
Spirit
brought
forth
by
you
all
,
who
are
the
only
Children
of
that
Birth
which
is
only
the
Lord's
.
Well
,
Dearly
Beloved
,
My
Heart
at
this
time
is
filled
in
the
Father's
Love
,
with
the
dear
Remembrance
of
you
,
whom
the
Lord
hath
gathered
with
his
Arm
of
Power
;
and
in
his
Spirit
do
I
desire
the
encrease
of
all
Mercies
,
and
Peace
and
Blessings
unto
you
,
that
you
may
be
Rich
,
and
Strong
,
and
Wise
,
and
Mighty
through
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
receiving
daily
of
his
Grace
may
ever
be
preserved
constant
and
faithful
in
the
Heavenly
Calling
unto
the
End
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
Lord
hath
began
his
Glorious
Work
in
the
midst
of
you
,
and
gathered
you
out
of
the
Darkness
,
and
Ignorance
and
Unbelief
of
this
World
,
where
some
time
your
Converse
hath
been
,
while
ye
knew
not
the
Lord
,
and
raised
you
up
into
the
Light
,
and
Power
and
Wisdom
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
;
having
largely
tasted
of
the
same
in
the
Experience
of
his
Leadings
through
divers
Operations
and
Manifestations
of
his
Spirit
,
so
that
many
of
you
have
attained
to
a
good
measure
of
Peace
and
Rest
with
the
Lord
in
your
inward
Man
:
Dearly
Beloved
,
seeing
it
is
thus
,
these
things
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
in
me
travelleth
to
bring
forth
unto
you
,
for
the
End
to
Comfort
you
,
and
to
Confirm
you
;
and
to
Edifie
you
in
the
saving
Truths
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
.
1.
Consider
what
your
former
Estate
hath
been
,
an
Estate
scattered
like
Sheep
without
a
Shepherd
;
some
of
you
dispersed
into
one
false
kind
of
Profession
of
Religion
,
and
some
into
another
,
walking
in
such
Wayes
as
the
Lord
led
you
not
in
;
but
ye
were
Driven
from
God
,
into
the
pathes
of
Death
and
Darkness
,
and
were
led
by
blind
Watch-men
in
the
Hypocrisie
and
false
pretences
towards
God
;
Honouring
Him
with
the
Lips
,
while
the
Heart
was
far
away
:
this
was
the
Condition
of
some
of
you
;
and
others
of
you
were
wallowing
in
the
open
Prophaneness
of
the
Sinful
World
;
and
such
was
your
Estate
,
wherein
you
were
all
Strangers
to
God
,
and
were
without
him
in
the
World
,
and
served
the
spirit
which
leadeth
Captive
to
Destruction
,
and
in
that
Way
you
were
strayed
,
even
in
the
Separation
from
GOD
,
being
in
the
State
of
Enmity
against
Him
;
till
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
good
Shepherd
of
ISRAEL
,
found
you
out
in
the
Estate
of
Darkness
,
and
brought
you
Home
from
your
strayed
Condition
,
even
unto
the
Sense
and
Feeling
of
his
Power
and
Spirit
in
you
,
which
called
you
out
of
the
Wayes
of
Sin
and
Death
,
and
also
changed
you
and
regenerated
you
into
the
Inheritance
of
a
better
Kingdom
and
Glory
,
than
that
which
is
of
this
World
:
And
ye
now
know
Christ
Jesus
to
be
your
Shepherd
,
his
Spirit
to
teach
you
,
his
Wisdom
,
and
Righteousness
and
Sanctification
to
dwell
in
you
,
being
Partakers
of
the
same
through
the
Eternal
LIGHT
,
which
once
shined
in
Darkness
,
and
the
Darkness
could
not
comprehend
it
;
but
now
it
is
risen
in
much
Glory
and
Power
,
and
Death
and
darkness
is
swallowed
up
of
Life
and
Light
,
and
the
Fruits
thereof
subdued
.
These
things
are
True
and
Faithful
unto
many
;
let
all
such
Rejoyce
and
be
Glad
in
the
Lord
,
who
have
thus
seen
his
Day
,
and
tasted
of
his
Power
,
and
are
Witnesses
,
That
the
Kingdom
is
come
which
never
fadeth
away
.
2.
Consider
what
the
Tender
Dealings
of
God
towards
you
,
and
his
Gentle
Leadings
have
been
since
he
hath
called
you
out
of
your
forme●
strayed
Estate
:
Hath
not
his
Light
shined
upon
your
Tabernacles
with
much
Clearness
,
perswading
your
Hearts
fully
of
his
WAY
and
TRUTH
?
Have
not
your
Hearts
often
been
Refreshed
,
and
Souls
truly
Comforted
by
the
Refreshing
Presence
of
the
Lord
?
Hath
not
the
Way
of
Life
been
made
so
clear
unto
you
,
and
the
way
of
your
Peace
so
perfectly
discovered
,
that
no
Occasion
hath
been
left
of
Unbelief
or
Stumbling
unto
the
Upright
in
Heart
?
Surely
the
Lord
hath
not
been
wanting
to
you
in
any
of
these
things
;
but
he
hath
so
reached
Home
by
his
Word
and
Spirit
to
your
Hearts
and
Consciences
with
such
full
Convictions
and
perswasions
in
the
Wayes
of
Salvation
,
that
no
sincere
Heart
can
doubt
or
waver
concerning
the
Things
pertaining
to
his
Soul's
Peace
and
Comfort
〈◊〉
For
,
so
Large
and
Evident
hath
God's
Testimony
been
unto
you
,
even
since
he
first
called
you
by
his
Grace
,
that
no
Man
,
having
Sense
and
Experience
thereof
,
but
must
bear
witness
,
That
the
Lord
hath
been
Good
,
Long
Suffering
,
full
of
Mercy
and
Righteousness
towards
all
that
feareth
him
.
I
am
perswaded
ye
know
these
things
,
and
that
the
Taste
and
Vertue
of
the
Lord's
Mercies
and
Power
remaineth
stedfest
in
your
Remembrance
and
Enjoyment
,
even
his
Mercies
and
Loving-kindness
that
have
been
made
manifest
to
you
since
ye
have
known
the
Lord
,
who
hath
●●d
you
by
the
Hand
,
as
a
Father
doth
his
Children
,
and
carried
you
in
his
Arms
of
Preservation
,
and
born
you
on
his
shoulders
in
all
your
Afflictions
;
insomuch
that
through
his
Power
and
Wisdom
only
we
are
yet
alive
,
and
the
Adversary
hath
not
prevailed
against
us
,
though
his
Attempts
have
often
been
great
to
Destroy
us
.
3.
Consider
what
i●
now
your
present
state
and
standing
;
How
is
it
with
your
inward
Man
?
In
what
Life
,
and
Strength
and
Dominion
is
he
?
Is
he
●●●ong
over
all
the
Corruptible
,
or
is
he
Weak
under
Corruption
?
Is
he
in
●●e
growth
of
a
Perfect
Man
,
of
the
Stature
of
Christ
Jesus
?
Is
he
so
begotten
and
born
in
you
,
that
Life
hath
swallowed
up
Death
?
Hath
he
Victory
over
the
Grave
?
And
doth
he
Raign
in
you
,
even
the
New
Man
,
the
Spiritual
Man
,
the
Immortal
Man
,
Christ
i●
you
?
Is
he
come
in
Power
and
Dominion
to
dwell
with
you
?
De●rly
●●loved
,
mind
each
particu●…
in
what
state
you
are
,
and
what
is
your
present
standing
to
God
〈◊〉
?
〈◊〉
ye
had
Faith
in
God
,
and
Love
to
God
,
and
Boldness
for
God
?
And
are
ye
fir●ly
continued
therein
?
Or
,
Is
any
such
Weakened
and
Decreased
in
these
things
?
Is
your
Love
grown
cold
,
and
your
Zeal
lost
,
and
your
Confidence
decayed
?
If
,
it
be
thus
with
any
,
their
present
state
is
not
●●ght
before
the
Lord
;
but
they
must
Repent
,
and
return
to
their
first
Love
,
and
return
again
to
the
Witness
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
〈◊〉
in
them
,
that
their
Strength
may
be
renewed
,
for
they
only
that
dwell
with
the
Lord
in
Faithfulness
,
and
abide
in
Covenant
with
him
,
〈◊〉
see
his
Glory
,
and
be
fed
daily
with
the
Bread
that
comes
down
from
Heaven
,
and
refre●…
with
the
Fountain
of
endless
Mercies
;
if
so
be
ye
be
perfect
with
the
Lord
after
your
inward
Man
,
Strong
,
and
Lively
,
and
Zealous
,
Faithful
,
and
constant
,
having
a
clean
Heart
and
a
pure
Conscience
,
guiltless
and
undefiled
before
God
,
this
is
to
be
perfect
with
the
Lord
;
and
if
ye
are
thus
,
blessed
are
you
,
if
ye
be
encreased
daily
in
the
Love
and
Life
of
the
Father
;
if
your
inward
Man
grow
in
the
Wisdom
,
and
Power
,
and
Knowledge
of
the
Creator
;
if
ye
receive
the
assurance
of
Eternal
Life
in
your selves
;
if
this
be
your
present
State
,
Oh
happy
People
!
Who
is
like
unto
you
,
because
ye
are
saved
of
the
Lord
?
4.
What
is
the
present
work
of
God
in
your
own
hearts
?
Ye
must
alwayes
feel
the
Word
of
God
abiding
in
you
,
even
the
Word
in
the
heart
;
hear
that
Word
and
do
it
alwayes
,
and
your
souls
shall
live
by
the
Word
of
God
;
that
Word
beats
down
whatsoever
tempts
and
draws
from
God
which
would
defile
you
,
and
load
your
Consciences
,
and
vex
the
Spirit
;
for
if
any
obey
the
Temptations
;
they
become
darkned
,
unbelief
enters
,
and
the
fruits
of
it
grows
,
and
then
there
is
a
falling
from
the
Lord
;
and
a
departing
from
his
way
of
Salvation
;
therefore
mind
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
in
you
,
and
be
constant
and
faithful
therein
,
that
you
may
be
Preserved
unto
the
finishing
of
the
WORK
of
the
Lord
in
you
,
that
at
last
ye
may
sit
down
in
the
Heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus
,
in
places
of
Peace
,
and
Comfort
,
and
Assurance
for
ever
,
where
the
Lord
is
enjoyed
all
in
all
,
which
you
must
wait
for
to
be
accomplished
in
you
according
to
the
promise
,
and
you
must
wit●●●s
the
work
of
Christ
in
you
,
he
must
work
in
you
by
his
Spirit
Regeneration
,
Recon●…on
,
Sanctification
,
Justification
,
and
all
good
things
;
〈◊〉
it
is
not
sufficient
to
profess
,
that
Christ
in
his
Person
hath
〈◊〉
the
works
of
God
,
but
every
one
in
particular
must
witness
at
th●●
day
the
work
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
his
own
heart
,
even
the
Work
of
Reconciliation
and
Salvation
,
that
ye
may
in
each
mans
particular
receive
the
Knowledge
and
Experience
of
the
Lords
Work
,
of
his
Love
,
and
Life
,
and
Salvation
,
and
Redemption
in
particular
;
for
though
never
so
large
Testimonies
in
general
should
be
given
to
you
,
or
received
by
you
concerning
Christ
Jesus
,
and
his
Salvation
,
yet
the
particular
feeling
of
〈◊〉
Love
and
Power
of
the
Lord
God
in
your
own
hearts
must
you
sta●●
by
,
in
the
Day
o●
Tryal
,
for
that
alone
can
uphold
in
the
Day
of
Trou●…
,
even
the
Testimony
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
unto
Salvation
,
felt
in
each
particular
heart
.
And
seeing
the
Lord
hath
brought
you
to
the
knowledge
of
his
truth
,
so
in
conversion
and
regeneration
,
that
many
can
say
,
the
Way
of
the
Lord
is
so
made
manifest
,
that
we
look
not
for
another
,
nor
are
doubtful
of
the
Way
of
Eternal
Life
;
therefore
be
established
stedfast
and
constant
in
that
way
,
not
easily
moved
nor
tossed
too
and
frô
with
men
,
nor
new
Doctrines
,
nor
changeable
things
,
but
approve
your
hearts
in
uprightness
before
the
Lord
by
being
faithful
to
the
end
,
faithful
I
say
to
be
and
do
according
to
the
measure
of
Light
and
Grace
and
Knowledge
that
God
hath
already
committed
to
you
,
that
ye
may
not
offend
against
the
Grace
of
God
,
but
may
glorifie
the
Lord
in
your
Souls
and
Spirits
,
being
joyned
in
your
hearts
,
and
married
to
the
Living
God
,
and
the
Lord
becomes
Your
Husband
according
to
the
Promise
;
but
if
any
be
of
a
changeable
Spirit
,
such
will
receive
Temptations
,
and
go
out
of
the
Covenant
of
God
,
and
abuse
the
gift
of
God
,
if
their
heart
be
not
meek
,
and
lowly
,
and
humble
,
and
perfect
in
the
sight
of
God
,
though
there
may
be
a
taste
of
the
Love
of
God
,
yet
there
can
be
no
assurance
of
it
if
the
heart
be
not
aright
before
the
Lord
,
and
faithful
and
constant
in
his
Truth
;
and
therefore
all
must
wait
to
receive
the
assurance
of
Eternal
Life
in
themselves
,
even
such
an
assurance
of
Life
,
and
Peace
,
and
Joy
,
and
Comfort
,
that
there
can
be
no
departing
away
,
being
established
in
the
Heir-ship
never
to
loose
the
Crown
,
Heirs
of
the
power
of
God
,
of
his
Wisdom
,
of
his
Righteousness
inheriters
and
Possessors
of
the
Eternal
Life
,
that
ye
may
dwell
in
the
house
forever
,
not
onely
as
Servants
,
but
as
Sons
;
not
onely
as
such
that
have
tasted
of
the
Love
of
God
,
but
as
such
as
are
born
Heirs
thereof
,
and
must
inherit
the
same
forever
.
Now
dear
Friends
,
if
this
were
my
last
unto
You
,
more
then
this
the
Lord
hath
not
to
say
by
me
;
and
last
of
all
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
I
charge
all
the
Saints
to
be
faithfull
to
the
Principles
and
Doctrines
which
Ye
have
heard
and
received
,
and
been
taught
of
Christ
through
his
Gospel
.
Oh
be
not
inconstant
and
unfaithful
in
those
Principles
and
Doctrines
which
the
Spirit
of
God
hath
perswaded
your
Consciences
of
the
truth
of
;
for
if
any
are
unfaithful
,
they
deny
the
Lord
of
Life
before
men
,
and
must
be
denyed
of
him
before
the
Father
;
therefore
let
us
put
on
strength
and
courage
to
be
faithful
and
constant
in
life
or
death
,
to
follow
the
Lamb
wheresoever
he
goes
,
and
if
we
must
suffer
for
our
profession
and
practice
of
those
truths
which
God
hath
perswaded
our
Consciences
of
the
verity
of
,
we
shall
never
be
ashamed
nor
confounded
before
the
Adversary
,
though
we
gaom
Tribulations
,
Persecutions
,
yea
death
it self
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord
and
his
Truth
,
yet
we
shall
obtain
the
Crown
of
Glory
which
never
fades
away
;
and
verily
all
the
Suffering
;
and
afflictions
of
this
Present
time
,
are
not
worthy
to
be
compared
to
that
weight
of
Peace
and
comfort
,
which
is
and
shall
be
revealed
amongst
us
.
And
as
concerning
our
Obedience
to
Government
,
ever
since
we
were
a
People
,
Ye
know
what
our
Principle
and
Practise
in
that
case
hath
been
,
even
to
obey
all
men
in
all
things
,
either
by
doing
or
suffering
,
if
at
any
time
ye
are
required
to
do
any
thing
by
any
in
Authority
which
is
not
agreeing
,
but
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
example
of
the
Saints
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
your
own
consciences
,
then
ye
are
to
suffer
whatsoever
,
if
it
be
death
it self
rather
then
to
obey
and
submit
to
the
doing
of
that
which
is
contrary
to
a
good
conscience
,
this
hath
ever
been
our
Principle
and
Practise
since
we
were
a
People
,
agreeing
with
the
practise
of
the
holy
Prophets
,
Apostles
and
Martyrs
in
all
ages
,
who
rather
did
suffer
grievous
oppressions
and
persecutions
,
then
to
obey
any
command
of
men
in
power
,
by
doing
any
thing
contrary
to
the
testimony
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
their
own
particulars
;
let
us
all
be
like-minded
this
day
,
not
to
do
,
nor
bend
,
nor
be
in
any
wise
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
that
dwels
in
us
,
but
rather
suffer
whatsoever
may
be
imposed
,
then
to
sin
against
that
Light
and
knowledge
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
which
he
hath
given
us
,
but
let
us
keep
a
clean
heart
and
a
pure
Conscience
to
God-wards
,
and
therein
we
shall
triumph
over
all
in
our
inward
Man
,
though
our
outward
man
be
afflicted
,
and
in
this
we
shall
have
peace
and
comfort
in
God
over
all
our
Adversaries
.
And
as
concerning
your
meetings
,
the
Lord
hath
given
you
the
testimony
of
his
Spirit
in
you
for
the
verity
and
righteousness
thereof
;
though
ye
should
suffer
persecution
for
the
same
,
yet
ye
have
the
Spirit
of
Christ
testifying
in
your
hearts
that
this
Way
and
Practise
of
meeting
together
(
as
our
practise
hath
been
)
is
of
God
,
and
he
Justifies
us
in
the
same
,
and
we
have
sufficient
of
assurance
by
the
holy
Spirit
to
stand
faithful
in
that
practise
of
assembling
together
to
Worship
God
.
First
,
we
have
the
testimony
of
Scriptures
and
example
of
Saints
in
the
Apostles
daies
,
to
prove
this
practice
of
Meeting
together
;
The
first
Christians
they
met
together
in
this
manner
and
way
as
we
do
now
,
they
met
in
private
houses
,
and
from
house
to
house
separate
and
apart
from
the
Publique
Synagogues
and
all
other
Sects
;
and
it
is
clear
that
we
have
the
example
of
Saints
and
Scripture
Proof
for
this
our
practise
of
meeting
together
.
2.
We
have
our
own
experience
for
these
divers
years
,
how
that
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
hath
moved
our
hearts
to
assemble
together
,
and
the
presence
and
power
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
hath
been
amongst
us
,
and
we
have
tasted
of
the
goodness
and
love
of
the
Lord
,
being
so
met
together
:
how
often
hath
the
Lord
met
with
us
and
his
countenance
shined
upon
us
,
and
our
souls
have
been
refreshed
,
strengthened
and
comforted
in
this
practise
of
meeting
together
?
these
things
are
true
,
and
may
confirm
us
in
this
practise
of
meeting
together
,
and
to
be
faithful
to
the
end
.
3.
We
have
the
full
perswasions
of
the
Spirit
of
God
lively
and
fervent
in
our
hearts
at
this
moment
,
that
we
ought
not
to
neglect
the
Assembling
of
our selves
together
,
but
that
God
requires
it
of
us
,
and
it
is
his
will
that
his
People
meet
together
to
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
separate
from
all
the
world
even
in
one
Spirit
,
and
in
the
Name
and
power
of
Jesus
,
I
hope
ye
are
all
like-minded
herein
,
and
that
the
Spirit
of
Christ
perswades
your
Consciences
in
the
Truth
of
that
practise
;
therefore
be
faithful
unto
God
herein
,
and
sin
not
against
the
testimony
of
Scriptures
,
and
example
of
the
first
Christians
,
nor
against
your
own
experience
,
nor
against
the
admonitions
of
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
who
are
the
first
fruits
unto
God
since
the
Apostacy
,
and
have
again
and
again
in
the
Name
and
Spirit
of
Christ
exhorted
you
to
meet
together
;
wherefore
be
faithful
to
perform
your
duty
to
God
in
that
particular
,
whatsoever
sufferings
should
be
infflicted
upon
you
by
the
men
of
this
World
.
And
as
concerning
refusing
to
take
any
Oath
,
ye
know
it
hath
been
our
Principle
and
practise
so
to
do
since
the
Lord
hath
given
us
knowledge
of
his
wayes
,
and
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
that
dwels
in
us
,
perswadeth
our
hearts
to
deny
all
swearing
,
both
as
it
was
practised
under
the
Law
,
according
to
the
command
of
God
,
and
in
the
Types
and
Figures
,
and
as
it
is
practised
among
the
Christians
since
the
Apostles
daies
,
which
is
,
as
now
practised
,
Idolatry
and
Superstition
;
And
I
say
the
Spirit
of
Christ
doth
confirm
our
hearts
in
this
trut●
,
even
to
deny
all
swearing
;
and
also
we
have
the
express
command
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
Apostle
Iames
forbdiding
all
swearing
by
Heaven
,
and
Earth
,
and
all
other
Oaths
,
which
bears
witness
to
the
truth
of
our
refusing
to
swear
at
this
day
;
likewise
we
have
the
Testimony
of
many
holy
Martyrs
and
Prophets
since
the
Apostles
daies
,
who
denied
to
swear
on
any
wise
,
who
suffered
for
such
their
Testimony
.
All
which
evidences
may
justly
confirm
the
hearts
of
Gods
people
at
this
day
faithfully
to
hold
out
their
Testimonies
of
refusing
to
swear
at
all
,
seeing
we
have
a
cloud
of
witnesses
that
testifie
with
us
,
the
express
Command
of
Christ
,
and
the
Apostle
th●
Test●●●●●
of
〈…〉
divers
●ges
,
who
suffered
for
the
same
and
the
present
〈…〉
Spirit
of
Christ
in
our
own
Hearts
▪
All
which
are
suffici●●t
to
give
Courage
and
Boldness
under
all
Sufferings
and
Afflictions
that
we
may
〈◊〉
withal
for
refusing
to
Swear
.
Well
Friends
,
Be
faithful
to
God
in
these
and
all
other
things
which
God
hath
given
you
Light
and
Knowledge
in
,
and
I
do
〈…〉
Conscience
,
and
not
to
sin
against
the
Light
and
Knowledge
that
God
hath
given
you
,
either
by
denying
to
profess
and
practice
that
Truth
which
the
Lord
hath
perswaded
your
Heart
of
or
by
conforming
to
anything
which
ye
know
is
not
of
the
Truth
,
and
this
is
the
Way
of
Eternal
Peace
with
God
:
But
if
any
shall
,
through
the
Temptations
of
the
Adversary
,
and
for
the
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
of
this
World
,
deny
the
Lord
,
and
renounce
good
Conscience

,
such
must
bear
the
Burden
of
the
Lord's
Anger
because
〈…〉
Revoltings

True
it
is
▪
This
is
a
Day
of
great
Tryal
,
yet
the
Lord
is
strong
,
and
gives
Strength
unto
all
his
People
that
〈◊〉
upon
〈◊〉
And
let
us
be
mindful
what
our
Controversie
is
,
and
●…
,
this
Day
our
Controversie
is
for
the
Lord
,
and
his
Truth
,
to
Do
Faithfully
,
and
Suffer
Patiently
whatsoever
the
Will
of
the
Lord
is
unto
us
,
and
not
to
renounce
and
deny
the
exercise
of
our
pure
Consciences
in
those
things
that
God
hath
perswaded
our
Hearts
of
the
Truth
of
:
For
,
if
any
this
Day
should
be
Unfaithful
,
either
by
doing
what
they
should
not
,
or
leaving
undone
what
they
know
they
should
do
:
If
any
deny
the
Lord
and
his
Truth
,
and
conform
to
the
false
Ways
and
Worships
of
men
,
such
lose
the
Controversie
,
and
give
the
Cause
of
God
into
the
hand
of
your
Enemies
,
which
is
a
fearful
Abomination
;
and
the
Controversie
is
with
that
spirit
,
which
opposeth
us
in
these
things
,
which
we
know
are
of
the
Lord
.
It
is
with
that
spirit
that
we
must
contend
,
contend
(
I
say
)
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
in
Long-Suffering
,
and
Patience
and
Good-will
towards
all
men
,
and
not
with
the
Weapons
of
this
World
in
envy
to
any
,
even
with
that
spirit
which
doth
oppose
our
meeting
together
to
worship
God
,
and
would
impose
Oaths
and
Things
upon
us
contrary
to
our
Consciences
:
And
these
things
are
the
main
Matters
of
Controversie
this
day
,
which
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
us
must
oppose
,
being
imposed
on
us
by
the
spirit
of
the
World
.
So
all
Friends
are
to
mind
to
be
Faithful
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
its
perswasions
;
and
against
that
spirit
which
is
not
of
him
;
For
the
Opposition
is
between
the
two
spirits
;
and
none
must
say
,
the
things
required
to
be
forborn
,
or
to
be
done
,
are
but
small
matters
in
themselves
,
and
may
be
done
or
not
done
without
Offence
;
this
kind
of
Reasoning
may
be
dangerous
,
and
may
easily
divert
from
the
Obedience
of
Christ
;
for
we
are
not
to
look
so
much
at
the
things
in
themselves
▪
which
are
required
to
be
done
or
to
be
forborn
,
as
at
the
spirit
which
doth
impose
upon
us
in
such
cases
against
pure
Conscience
;
if
the
spirit
be
not
of
God
,
we
must
not
obey
it
in
the
least
things
;
for
this
is
indeed
the
matter
of
Conscience
,
not
so
much
particular
things
or
actions
,
as
the
spirit
that
is
not
of
God
,
where
it
requires
things
against
good
Conscience
;
for
whatsoever
that
spirit
requireth
,
be
it
little
or
much
in
respect
of
the
Action
,
it
must
not
be
obeyed
,
and
that
for
Conscience
sake
;
for
this
is
a
good
Conscience
,
that
cannot
do
nor
conform
to
any
thing
which
the
spirit
that
is
not
of
God
enjoyes
,
though
therefore
suffering
be
inflicted
on
the
outward
man
.
And
last
of
all
,
I
do
advise
and
exhort
,
That
ye
have
Love
and
Unity
in
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
and
one
with
another
,
that
oneness
of
Heart
and
Soul
and
Spirit
may
be
amongst
us
,
being
bound
up
in
the
holy
Covenant
of
the
Father
,
even
willing
to
do
or
suffer
one
for
another
;
and
in
this
Spirit
of
Unity
the
Lord
will
bless
us
,
and
make
us
strong
and
able
to
go
through
joyfully
all
our
Afflictions
;
but
if
any
Strife
or
Division
be
in
the
Body
,
it
weakens
the
whole
;
if
one
Member
vex
another
through
discord
,
this
is
not
of
the
Father
,
but
contrary
to
him
;
this
is
not
for
the
safety
of
the
Body
,

OF
Unrighteousness
,
Injustice
,
Unreasonableness
,
Oppression
and
Cruelty
,
throughout
the
Kingdoms
of
this

WORLD
;
Wherein
Antichrist
hath
had
his
Seat
and
great
Authority
for
many
Generations
,
in
the
Apostacy
from
the
Spirit
and
Life
of
True
Christianity
:
Shewed
and
Declared
,
-
First
,
In
the
Case
of
Imposing
upon

Matters
Religious
,
by
Force
of
outward
Violence
,
or
Pains
and
Penalties

The
EPISTLE
;
Dedicated
to
all
the
Rulers
(
of
what
degree
soever
)
in
the
(
so
called
)
Christian
World
.
O
Friends
!
in
the
perfect
Love
of
God
Almighty
towards
your
Souls
and
Bodies
,
and
towards
all
Mankind
;
which
Love
is
as
a
Fountain
opened
in
my
Heart
,
and
kindly
issueth
forth
in
Soul-breathing-desires
of
Good
unto
the
whole
Creation
:
In
this
Love
(
joyned
with
an
Humble
,
Meek
,
and
Lowly
Temper
of
Spirit
)
do
I
present
this
little
quantity
of
Substance
unto
you
;
not
so
much
for
your
approof
of
my
Work
,
as
if
I
craved
your
Licence
and
Approbation
for
this
small
Piece
to
pass
under
your
Iustification
(
as
is
usually
the
manner
of
such
Epistles
thus
directed
)
but
much
more
for
your
serious
and
weighty
Considerations
of
the
Cases
(
though
Briefly
,
yet
Truly
)
unfolded
,
which
are
things
of
very
great
moment
to
you
,
and
wherein
all
of
you
,
from
the
Least
to
the
Greatest
,
are
less
or
more
concerned
.
And
I
do
present
this
Work
unto
you
,
as
Wholsome
Advice
and
Good
Councel
for
you
(
which
ye
ought
verily
to
read
and
receive
as
such
)
rather
then
to
Flatter
you
,
by
begging
a
Pass-port
from
you
,
that
this
may
be
read
and
received
where
it
shall
come
;
for
,
the
Truth
and
Verity
of
it
,
the
Weight
of
the
Matter
contained
,
and
the
Soundness
and
Substance
demonstrated
,
shall
plead
its
own
Worth
for
acceptation
in
the
Hearts
and
Consciences
of
all
sincere
Men.
The
Truth
and
Verity
,
Weight
and
Substance
of
Matter
;
I
say
,
these
Termes
I
may
justly
present
this
small
piece
under
the
denomination
of
,
unto
you
,
and
all
the
World
.
True
it
is
,
I
do
not
study
pleasing
Stile
,
nor
have
I
endeavoured
to
clothe
and
trim
the
Matter
with
Flattery
,
Curious
Termes
,
Words
of
Man's
Wisdom
,
or
some
Rare
Method
,
that
it
might
appear
more
in
Shew
than
in
real
Substance
,
(
as
the
way
of
too
many
Writers
have
been
in
such
Cases
)
Nor
do
I
promise
to
please
the
Wordly
Wisdom
in
Men
,
by
a
Delightful
Sound
,
so
much
as
to
answer
the
sincere
Consciences
of
Men
by
Sound
Truths
;
declared
more
in
Homely
broken
Terms
of
Speech
,
than
in
the
rarity
of
Phrase
,
or
well-compacted
Rhetorick
:
For
I
have
alwayes
desired
to
be
known
and
approved
of
God
,
and
those
that
fear
him
in
Sincerity
,
Humility
,
and
down-right
Truth
;
and
for
this
I
study
daily
and
labour
alwayes
,
even
to
have
Praise
,
Peace
and
Comfort
of
God
,
rather
than
men
,
in
what
I
am
,
and
in
what
I
do
:
And
therefore
it
is
my
desire
,
that
ye
would
look
beyond
the
Method
containing
,
to
the
Matter
contained
;
and
that
your
Eye
may
be
fixed
on
the
Substance
intended
,
which
is
verily
and
in
Truth
,
That
ye
may
be
informed
the
Way
of
your
Peace
and
Happiness
in
this
World
,
and
in
that
which
is
to
come
;
and
may
never
hereafter
Impose
by
Force
and
Violence
,
in
the
Matters
of
Faith
and
the
Worship
of
God
,
upon
the
Consciences
of
any
,
through
Penalties
and
Punishments
upon
Men's
Persons
and
Estates
;
but
that
ye
may
allow
and
tollerate
freely
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
all
Religious
Matters
;
and
may
not
by
Cruelty
Destroy
Men
in
their
Persons
or
Estates
,
upon
the
account
of
their
being
supposed
to
be
,
or
if
really
Hereticks
,
and
because
of
difference
in
Iudgment
and
Practice
in
Spiritual
Matters
.
These
are
the
Particulars
(
for
substance
)
held
forth
unto
you
,
and
all
the
World
;
and
I
have
judged
it
most
proper
to
direct
these
Cases
to
your
View
and
Consideration
,
as
being
the
Persons
most
chiefly
(
though
not
wholy
)
concerned
:
Therefore
blame
me
not
,
but
rather
receive
my
Love
,
though
but
little
in
Quantity
,
yet
real
in
Quality
,
and
that
ye
will
find
one
day
,
when
ye
have
truly
tryed
the
Effects
of
the
two
Cases
plainly
laid
before
you
;
which
are
,
Imposition
upon
Conscience
;
and
Free
Liberty
of
Conscience
:
These
are
the
two
Causes
,
which
will
have
their
different
and
contrary
Effects
upon
all
the
Rulers
in
the
World
;
Peace
,
Blessings
,
Prosperity
and
Happiness
are
the
Effects
of
the
one
Cause
;
and
Wars
,
Tribulations
,
Contentions
,
Misery
,
Sorrow
and
the
Curse
are
the
Effects
which
have
and
will
unavoidably
follow
the
other
Cause
;
and
this
ye
will
all
find
in
the
Experience
of
Time
and
Transactions
coming
to
pass
in
the
World
.
And
therefore
I
cannot
but
(
in
homely
plain
words
,
as
my
manner
is
)
assert
the
Causes
,
and
the
Effects
of
the
Causes
unto
you
again
and
again
,
for
the
very
End
,
to
Inform
you
,
Advise
you
,
and
Warn
you
to
follow
the
Good
,
and
to
forsake
the
Evil
;
to
do
the
Right
,
and
hate
the
Wrong
;
that
the
Effects
of
Righteousness
and
Liberty
of
Conscience
,
even
Peace
,
Love
,
Mercy
and
Prosperity
may
ever
be
with
you
;
and
the
Effects
of
Cruelty
,
and
Oppression
,
and
Imposition
upon
Conscience
,
which
will
be
your
Misery
,
Downfal
and
Destruction
(
if
ye
continue
in
the
Cause
which
works
this
Effect
)
may
be
turned
away
,
and
ye
delivered
.
Wherefore
O
ye
Men
,
Be
Advised
,
be
Warned
;
this
is
the
Day
of
the
Lord's
Dawnings
;
we
have
seen
his
Power
and
Glory
;
he
hath
wounded
us
,
and
healed
us
;
he
hath
killed
,
and
made
alive
;
he
hath
Proclaimed
Liberty
in
eur
Squls
and
Consciences
from
Death
and
Darkness
,
from
the
Grave
and
Hell
;
and
he
hath
set
his
People
free
from
Bondage
,
to
serve
Him
with
a
pure
and
perfect
Heart
;
And
if
ye
(
Mortal
Men
,
made
of
the
Dust
of
the
Ground
,
whose
little
measure
of
Breath
is
in
your
Nostrils
)
will
not
approve
of
,
and
joyn
with
this
Blessed
Work
of
the
Lord
;
but
shall
gain-say
his
Doings
,
and
set
your
Power
against
his
Power
,
and
will
not
let
the
People
go
free
in
the
Exercise
of
their
Consciences
in
Holy
Performances
,
whose
Consciences
God
hath
made
free
;
then
shall
the
Most
High
reward
your
Opposition
with
his
Cup
of
Vengeance
;
and
he
will
make
you
know
,
He
is
the
Lord
,
against
whom
ye
thus
raise
Contention
;
and
he
will
dissolve
your
Substance
,
and
bring
down
your
Glory
,
and
subdue
your
Power
,
if
that
(
I
say
)
ye
oppose
his
Work
,
and
will
seek
to
bind
and
limit
his
Spirit
in
his
People
,
and
will
yet
force
and
impose
upon
Conscience
by
outward
Violence
,
and
Kill
and
Persecute
unto
Death
and
Banishment
for
matter
of
Conscience
,
and
because
of
difference
in
Iudgement
in
Spiritual
Things
;
then
thus
it
shall
be
done
unto
you
,
Ye
shall
Fall
,
and
Perish
,
and
be
Troubled
,
and
Blessings
and
Prosperity
shall
not
be
unto
you
.
If
it
be
not
thus
,
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
by
me
.
Well
Friends
,
even
all
ye
that
have
Authority
and
Power
in
the
Government
of
this
World
,
are
nearly
concerned
to
take
special
notice
of
these
things
presented
unto
you
;
seeing
the
Effects
of
these
two
Causes
are
both
very
weighty
,
and
infallibly
certain
,
even
to
you-wards
particularly
:
Very
weighty
,
because
Peace
,
Prosperity
and
Happiness
;
or
Misery
,
Distractions
,
and
Downfall
to
you
is
depending
upon
the
Effects
of
the
Causes
;
infallibly
certain
,
because
the
Iustice
of
God
Almighty
is
such
,
that
he
must
bring
Reward
upon
all
according
to
their
Deeds
,
and
his
Iustice
cannot
be
diverted
.
But
if
ye
permit
Free
Liberty
of
Conscience
in
the
Exercise
of
Godliness
in
Faith
and
Worship
unto
all
People
under
your
Power
,
then
shall
Peace
and
Prosperity
be
unto
you
,
according
to
the
Purpose
of
God
:
But
if
ye
impose
upon
Conscience
in
any
wise
,
by
Force
in
Religious
Matters
,
and
will
not
be
instructed
and
advised
,
to
the
contrary
,
Then
shall
Misery
and
Destruction
certainly
be
unto
you
,
according
to
the
Justice
of
God's
Vengeance
.
These
things
are
so
;
as
a
Servant
of
God
I
present
them
to
you
,
and
not
upon
Fiction
or
Fancy
,
but
as
I
have
received
them
from
the
Lord
God
,
by
his
Spirit
,
which
signifies
the
Verity
and
Certainty
of
those
Things
in
my
Soul
.
Friends
,
Doubt
not
of
these
things
;
for
verily
the
Time
is
at
hand
,
and
it
must
surely
come
to
pass
,
my
Spirit
shall
see
it
,
and
rejoyce
therein
,
if
in
this
Body
I
may
not
behold
it
,
That
imposing
and
forcing
of
Conscience
,
by
Laws
and
Ordinances
of
Men
,
upon
Penalties
on
Mens
Persons
and
Estates
,
in
Religious
Matters
,
shall
be
expunged
,
subdued
,
and
abandoned
in
these
Nations
and
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
and
it
shall
be
no
more
:
But
Liberty
,
Liberty
shall
be
Re-planted
,
Embraced
and
Renowned
amongst
Men
;
and
Truth
and
Righteousness
,
Mercy
and
Peace
,
True
Liberty
and
Freedom
,
Justice
and
True
Judgment
,
with
all
the
Causes
and
Effects
thereof
shall
flourish
,
and
grow
,
and
prosper
on
the
Earth
;
and
the
contrary
shall
fall
,
and
rise
no
more
.
This
Day
is
dawning
nigh
,
it
s
at
the
Door
;
Blessed
are
they
that
are
prepared
for
it
.
Wherefore
let
all
Flesh
Hear
and
Fear
,
Bow
and
Tremble
,
and
let
the
Hearts
of
the
Righteous
rejoyce
and
be
exceeding
glad
;
let
all
the
Upright
in
Heart
put
on
the
Garment
of
Praises
and
Deliverance
:
For
the
Day
is
at
hand
,
that
Antichrist
(
with
all
his
Strength
and
Power
,
Force
and
Policy
)
shall
be
a
Hissing
,
and
Reproach
,
and
Shame
,
Contempt
unto
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
,
and
amongst
whom
the
Lord
God
Omnipotent
doth
and
must
Raign
and
Rule
in
Dominion
,
and
Glory
,
and
Power
over
all
,
forever
,
and
evermore

1.
Concerning
Imposing
Religion
,
the
Case
stated
,
and
the
Unrighteousness
thereof
shewed
,
with
the
Danger
thereof
also
made
appear
by
manifest
Proofs
.
Presented
unto
the
Rulers
and
People
of
our
Age
,
throughout
the
World
.
TO
Impose
any
Kind
of
Religion
,
any
Way
of
Worship
,
or
Form
of
Faith
,
and
outward
Conformity
,
in
any
Practices
of
Duty
to
God-wards
,
by
an
External
Authority
of
men
,
through
force
of
Laws
,
commanding
and
requiring
such
Conformity
in
Faith
and
Worship
upon
Pains
,
Penalties
and
Forfeitures
on
mens
Persons
and
Estates
,
as
hath
been
practiced
in
the
World
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
amongst
the
Nations
professing
Christianity
:
This
thing
is
not
of
the
Lord
,
nor
according
to
Commands
of
Christ
,
and
Example
of
the
Apostles
and
Primitive
Christians
,
declared
of
in
the
Scriptures
;
but
is
of
Antichrist
,
and
Unrighteous
,
Unequal
,
and
Dangerous
,
to
the
Destruction
of
the
Souls
and
Bodies
of
both
the
Imposers
and
the
Imposed
.
1.
Such
kind
of
Forcing
and
compelling
by
force
of
outward
Laws
into
such
outward
Conformity
of
Religion
,
Faith
and
Worship
,
Church-Government
and
Ministry
,
was
never
in
beeing
,
nor
ever
practiced
in
the
true
Christian
Churches
,
amongst
the
Apostles
in
their
dayes
;
nor
ever
was
such
a
thing
known
among
the
Primitive
Christians
:
There
was
no
such
kind
of
Laws
made
nor
executed
amongst
them
,
nor
such
Force
exercised
on
mens
Persons
and
Estates
in
such
Cases
;
there
was
no
outward
Violence
used
in
the
Primitive
Times
,
to
compel
any
to
Conformity
to
Christian
Faith
,
Worship
and
Practice
of
Christian
Religion
:
None
of
the
first
Christians
were
made
truly
Religious
,
and
converted
from
the
Way
of
Error
to
the
Way
of
true
Christianity
by
such
means
of
outward
Force
,
and
Commandments
of
Men
put
upon
them
;
They
were
not
I
say
converted
themselves
to
the
Christian-Faith
and
Religion
,
nor
made
Conformable
Worshippers
of
God
in
his
Spirit
by
that
Way
and
Means
;
nor
did
they
seek
to
convert
others
into
Conformity
to
Church-Government
and
Christian-Worship
by
force
of
outward
Laws
upon
Pains
and
Forfeitures
:
These
things
were
not
in
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
amongst
the
Primitive
Christians
.
2.
But
the
true
Way
of
Conversion
among
them
,
to
the
Christian-Faith
,
and
Worship
,
and
true
Church-Government
,
whereby
people
were
made
rightly
conformable
to
the
true
Christian
Religion
,
as
it
was
amongst
the
Apostles
,
was
by
and
through
the
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
Jesus
,
preached
amongst
them
in
the
Power
and
Demonstration
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
of
such
as
were
truly
called
and
sent
of
him
,
which
did
turn
People
to
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
that
Ministry
wrought
in
them
to
receive
it
,
by
which
their
Consciences
were
convinced
,
and
their
Hearts
perswaded
in
the
Love
of
christ
to
believe
in
him
,
and
receive
him
,
and
follow
him
;
and
thus
were
they
drawn
,
and
begotten
,
and
converted
into
the
Faith
,
and
Worship
and
Practice
of
the
true
Christi●…-Religion
,
and
made
conformable
to
the
Government
and
Order
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
in
all
things
,
by
this
Means
and
Way
only
;
and
not
at
all
by
any
outward
Force
and
Compulsion
exercised
upon
them
they
were
converted
to
the
true
Christian-Religion
,
and
to
the
true
Worship
of
God
;
and
by
the
same
Way
did
they
convert
and
turn
others
to
the
same
,
and
this
only
is
the
Perfect
Way
of
Christian-Conformity
to
the
true
Christian-Worship
and
Church-G●…ment
;
it
ever
was
since
the
beginning
of
Christianity
in
the
World
,
and
i●●nto
this
day
,
even
to
perswade
the
Heart
and
to
convince
the
Conscience
inwardly
by
the
sound
Doctrine
of
the
Gospel
,
through
the
Operation
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
by
Love
,
and
Meekness
,
and
Patience
,
and
all
the
Fruits
of
Righteousness
,
held
forth
in
Doctrine
and
Conversation
,
which
may
answer
the
Testimony
of
God
in
all
mens
Consciences
.
Hereby
,
and
in
this
Way
is
true
Conversion
wrought
in
the
heart
,
to
the
turning
men
from
all
Error
,
unto
the
Truth
,
and
from
all
false
Worships
,
and
Heresies
and
Evil
Way●s
,
unto
the
true
Christian-Worship
,
and
Conformity
to
holy
Church
and
Religion
.
This
(
I
say
)
was
the
Way
among
the
primitive
Christians
●…d
Apostles
of
old
,
and
is
the
same
among
the
true
Christians
in
this
Age
;
and
they
that
would
conform
others
,
and
are
conformed
themselves
otherwise
in
this
Case
of
Religion
and
Worship
to
God-wards
,
are
not
in
the
Example
of
Christ
and
his
Saints
;
but
out
of
the
Life
,
and
contrary
to
the
first
Christians
,
and
President
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
as
hereafter
is
manifested
.
The
Way
and
Practice
of
Imposing
Religion
,
and
Conformity
in
Worship
and
Church-Government
,
by
Force
(
as
aforesaid
)
is
so
far
from
being
according
to
the
Practice
and
Example
of
the
Apostles
and
the
primitive
Churches
of
Christians
,
that
they
are
even
contrary
to
the
Commands
and
Exhortations
of
CHRIST
and
his
Apostles
,
and
Example
of
the
Scriptures
.
1.
As
in
the
Parable
of
the
Wheat
and
the
Tares
,
Mat.
13.
when
it
was
desired
of
the
Servants
,
that
they
might
go
and
gather
out
the
Tares
,
that
the
Enemy
had
sown
,
from
among
the
Wheat
,
it
was
commanded
to
the
contrary
by
the
Husbandman
,
even
that
they
should
suffer
the
Tares
to
grow
among
the
Wheat
till
the
Harvest
,
and
not
pluck
them
up
,
lest
they
hurt
the
Wheat
thereby
.
Now
though
there
be
an
invisible
Mystery
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
secretly
signified
in
this
Parable
,
more
then
may
here
be
said
;
yet
't
is
also
clearly
signified
,
That
Christ
would
have
no
Imposition
nor
Violence
used
upon
th●
Tares
,
nor
that
they
should
pluck
them
up
by
Force
;
but
that
the
good
Corn
and
the
bad
〈◊〉
grow
together
in
one
Field
till
the
Harvest
.
And
thus
much
this
Parable
bears
the
Proof
of
;
Suppose
there
be
Heresies
,
and
Hereticks
,
and
Prophane
Persons
,
that
are
not
in
the
Truth
,
but
in
Errors
,
who
are
bad
Corn
,
even
as
the
Tares
to
the
Wheat
;
in
that
Kingdom
,
City
or
Family
,
where
there
is
also
converted
Saints
,
and
holy
Persons
,
and
true
Members
of
Christ
,
who
are
as
the
Wheat
to
the
Tares
;
yet
such
Hereticks
and
Prophane
Persons
,
that
are
in
Error
,
ought
not
to
be
plucked
up
violently
,
to
wit
,
Imprisoned
,
Bannished
,
and
put
to
Death
,
Burned
and
Destroyed
from
amongst
the
Righteous
,
though
they
grow
amongst
them
,
even
in
the
s●…
Field
:
The
converted
Saints
ought
not
(
I
say
)
to
destroy
by
●●nnishment
or
Death
the
Hereticks
,
and
Unconverted
and
Unconformable
Persons
from
amongst
them
;
but
they
are
to
let
them
live
,
even
grow
amongst
them
in
the
same
Field
,
in
the
same
Kingdom
,
City
or
Family
,
till
Harvest
.
And
thus
much
the
Parable
may
truly
signifie
,
Even
a
Liberty
to
live
for
the
Tares
,
the
bad
Corn
,
the
evil
Persons
,
among
the
Wheat
,
the
Righteous
Pers●…
,
without
being
imposed
upon
by
Cruel
Force
and
Outward
Violence
,
to
compel
into
Conformity
.
2.
As
in
the
Case
among
the
Saints
and
true
Believers
;
where
some
believed
,
〈◊〉
might
〈◊〉
all
〈◊〉
,
others
did
〈◊〉
H●…s
,
and
some
esteemed
one
day
above
〈◊〉
,

othe●●
esteemed
every
day
alike
,
Rom
▪

Here
was
some
difference
in
Judgment
and
Practices
amongst
the
Believers
,
about
M●●ts
and
D●●es
(
abou●●
which
thi●…
there
hath
been
much
Imposition
and
Force
used
in
the
World
since
the
Apostle
dayes
)
Well
,
But
what
doth
the
Apostle
Paul
〈◊〉
,
and
advise
in
this
Case
?
Doth
〈◊〉
threaten
Violence
towards
any
of
them
,
or
signifie
any
forcible
Commands
or
Impositions
to
be
used
to
bring
them
into
Conformity
and
Unity
in
the
things
and
Matters
about
which
they
were
divided
?
No
,
no
;
but
this
is
his
advice
to
the
Church
of
Christ
(
of
which
he
was
a
true
and
able
Minister
)
Iudge
not
one
another
about
such
things
,
nor
do
not
impose
any
Practice
upon
thy
Brother
;
for
to
Christ
Iesus
●…is
Master
every
Believer
stands
or
falls
.
And
saith
the
Apostle
,
L●●
every
Man
be
fully
perswaded
in
his
own
Mind
,
vers
5.
And
hereby
it
is
manifestly
proved
,
That
in
the
Churches
of
Primitive
Christians
,
the
Saints
and
true
Christians
were
not
imposed
upon
by
Commandments
of
M●n
,
or
outward
Laws
,
in
the
matters
of
their
Religion
and
Practice
of
Conscience
;
there
was
no
signification
of
force
to
be
used
for
Conformity
;
but
wh●●y
contrary
,
even
every
Believe●
had
the
Liberty
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
as
he
was
by
that
perswaded
in
his
own
mind
to
do
,
or
leave
undone
in
such
cases
;
and
every
one
was
to
mind
the
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
himself
;
for
to
that
he
was
to
stand
or
fall
,
and
not
to
impose
upon
another
,
no
,
not
so
much
as
to
judge
his
Brother
in
any
case
of
difference
in
Judgment
or
Practice
;
but
they
were
to
leave
one
another
to
the
Perswasions
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
their
own
minds
.
3.
As
in
the
Case
where
the

exhorted
the
Saints
to
be
Like-minded

3.
But
saith
he
,
If
any
〈◊〉
Otherwise-minded
,
God
shall
reveal
even
this
unto
you
:
By
which
Saying
it
is
m●nifest
,
That
the
Unity
and
Conformity
of
Saints
in
Mind
and
Practice
was
not
by
Imposition
,
or
any
outward
Force
threatned
or
exercised
upon
their
Persons
or
Estates
;
but
contrary-wise
,
if
there
was
any
Difference
in
Mind
and
Practice
amongst
any
of
them
,
that
was
to
be
amended
;
and
Unity
made
up
,
when
God
revealed
the
same
Truth
in
all
,
as
he
had
done
in
some
:
if
any
were
not
so
minded
in
any
thing
as
others
were
,
they
were
not
to
be
imposed
upon
;
but
let
God
reveal
the
same
,
and
bring
into
Conformity
;
this
was
the
Apostle's
Counsel
.
And
vers.
16.
Nevertheless
,
whereunto
we
have
already
attained
,
let
us
walk
by
the
same
Rule
;
that
is
to
●●y
,
so
far
as
the
Rule
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
is
made
manifest
,
or
in
wh●●
measure
the
perfection
thereof
is
attained
unto
,
let
every
one
walk
in
the
same
measure
,
and
by
the
same
Rule
;
and
if
any
have
not
the
self-same
measure
of
the
Spirit
,
and
know
the
self-same
things
,
let
such
alone
,
without
imposing
upon
them
,
leave
them
to
walk
in
the
measure
of
Light
and
knowledge
that
they
have
received
,
though
it
be
not
the
self-same
measure
that
others
have
received
,
and
if
they
want
any
Knowledge
,
or
be
in
any
thing
otherwise-minded
,
God
shall
reveal
the
same
unto
them
,
even
the
same
thing
,
as
they
grow
in
the
same
measure
of
Grace
and
Knowledge
:
And
here
is
the
perfect
Way
of
Unity
and
Conformity
,
as
the
Primitive
Christians
were
exercised
in
the
true
Faith
and
Worship
,
and
true
Christian
Religion
in
their
dayes
.
And
so
to
impose
by
Force
upon
Paint
and
Forfeitures
in
Religious
Matters
,
is
clearly
contrary
to
all
these
Scriptures
,
and
to
many
more
in
the
New
Testament
.

Rich

And
this
Beast
was
the
Authority
of
Antichrist
,
that
arose
among
the
Aposta●●●
and
the
false
Prophets
,
that
thus
Caused
and
Compelled
all
to
worship
the
Beast
and
his
Image
:
Mark
how
often
the
word
CAUSED
is
used
in
that
Chapter
,
which
is
,
Compelled
,
or
Forced
;
and
it
was
the
Antichrist
,
the
Beast
,
that
did
it
,
the
Authority
that
arose
among
the
Apos●…
Christians
,
that
were
gone
from
the
true
Church
:
and
this
was
the
first
that
we
read
of
any
Forcing
or
Compelling
to
Worship
,
or
persecuting
about
Worship
,
and
Imposing
about
the
same
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
through
Ages
,
amongst
them
called
Christians
:
and
here
was
the
beginning
of
Imposing
by
〈◊〉
,
and
Violent
Laws
,
in
the
matters
of
Worship
and
Religion
,
amongst
the
People
called
Christians
,
and
one
Sect
and
Sort
,
according
to
its
Authority
,
imposed
by
Laws
and
Force
upon
another
,
causing
and
compelling
one
another
to
worship
and
believe
according
to
his
Form
and
Image
;
and
as
any
Sect
of
Christians
gained
outward
Authority
over
others
,
that
same
has
caused
and
forced
all
others
by
outward
violence
into
Conformity
to
its
Way
and
Worship
;
and
this
hath
been
amongst
the
People
called
Christians
in
the
Apostacy
,
ever
since
Antichrist
and
his
power
rose
up
amongst
them
:
and
thus
,
and
at
this
time
beg●n
first
the
imposing
of
Worship
,
and
persecuting
about
the
same
amongst
Christian●
:
And
thus
't
is
manifest
to
be
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Wicked
one
,
and
not
of
the
Lord
.
6.
By
what
is
said
,
it
is
plain
,
That
all
in
this
present
Age
who
impose
by
force
of
Laws
,
and
compel
to
worship
,
and
persecute
about
the
same
,
are
not
in
the
Example
of
Christ
,
or
his
Apostles
,
or
any
the
good
Primitive
Christians
;
but
in
so
doing
are
in
the
Example
of
the
Persecutors
of
the
holy
Prophets
,
and
in
the
Example
of
the
cruel
Iews
that
killed
Christ
,
and
persecuted
the
Saints
;
and
in
the
Example
of
the
cruel
Heathens
,
that
violently
persecuted
the
Christians
in
diver●
Ages
and
Countries
,
and
are
indeed
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Beast
,
that
arose
up
against
the
Saints
,
and
made
War
against
them
;
and
such
are
all
they
that
do
impose
upon
the
Persons
,
Esta●●s
and
Conscien●●s
of
●…n
at
this
day
upon
the
account
afores●…
:
And
this
is
worthy
of
●ll
me●●
serious
Consideration
.
And
now
,
in
the
next
place
I
shall
proceed
to
shew
,
how
〈◊〉
and
Unreasonable
it
is
,
for
any
called
Christians
to
impose
●pon
the
Consciences
of
others
,
and
to
force
them
by
Laws
and
Commandments
in
the
Matters
of
〈◊〉
,
and
to
persecute
●●out
the
s●●e
.
1.
I●
it
unrighteous
,
because
it
is
an
intruding
upon
the
〈◊〉
and
Priviledge
of
God
,
and
seems
to
be
a
derogating
from
his
Honour
Power
and
Domi●…
which
properly
is
in
himself
and
pertains
to
him
alone
,
and
not
unto
mortal
man
,
which
is
to
give
Laws
to
Conscience
,
●nd
to
exercise
it
in
all
〈◊〉
of
Religion
respecting
his
Worship
Duty
and
Service
,
and
to
perswade
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
Conscienc●●
by
his
Spirit
to
follow
him
,
and
observe
all
things
which
he
●…quires
in
Faith
and
Worship
:
This
Power
is
only
proper
to
God
alone
,
and
to
him
pertaineth
,
and
to
no
other
:
And
therefore
for
any
man
,
or
earthly
Powers
of
man
,
to
give
Laws
and
Rules
to
Conscience
,
and
to
impose
upon
men
in
the
matters
of
God's
Worship
,
forcing
,
Conformity
in
Spiritual
Exercis●●
by
violent
Commands
,
upon
Forfeitures
and
Punishments
,
seems
to
be
,
and
really
is
an
assuming
and
presuming
upon
God's
Authority
,
which
belongs
only
to
him
,
and
tends
to
rob
him
of
the
same
,
and
is
an
entrenching
upon
his
Soveraignity
,
and
is
wholy
Unrighteous
;
and
inasmuch
as
it
is
a
●…g
in
the
Seat
of
God
,
and
forcing
the
Exercise
of
Worship
,
and
intruding
upon
his
Blessed
Priviledge
,
and
a
presuming
into
his
Authority
,
which
he
commits
to
no
man
,
a
robbing
him
of
his
Honour
and
Spiritual
Dominion
;
therefore
to
Impose
,
in
Matters
Religious
,
is
Unrighteous
on
their
parts
that
do
practice
it
.
And.
2.
It
is
Unrighteous
,
because
it
is
contrary
to
the
Command
of
God
,
D●
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
others
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
would
be
done
unto
;
but
this
Imposing
in
matters
of
Worship
,
is
a
Practice
done
by
others
,
which
others
would
not
be
done
unto
by
any
▪
and
therefore
't
is
Unrighteous
:
For
no
one
Sect
or
sort
of
Christians
would
be
imp●…sed
upon
in
that
case
by
any
others
,
not
forced
and
compelled
by
outward
Violence
against
their
judgments
and
Consciences
unto
such
a
Conformity
of
●…th
and
Worship
;
to
do
thus
is
not
to
love
a
man●
Neighbour
as
himself
,
nor
to
do
to
all
men
as
men
would
be
done
unto
:
For
if
at
any
time
and
place
,
the
Papists
(
so
called
)
impose
upon
the
Protestants
(
so
called
)
in
this
case
of
●orcing
them
unto
Conformity
,
or
Persecuting
them
about
Religion
,
't
is
cryed
out
against
by
such
as
are
so
imposed
upon
,
to
be
Tyranny
,
Oppression
,
and
Exacting
Unrighteously
;
and
thus
every
Sect
of
Christians
cry
out
against
others
,
that
do
impose
upon
them
by
Force
in
things
Religious
,
contrary
to
their
Judgments
and
Consciences
,
each
sort
when
they
suffer
saith
of
others
,
They
are
Unrighteous
in
such
Impositions
;
though
many
cannot
see
it
to
be
Unrighteous
in
themselves
,
when
they
have
the
Oportunity
to
do
it
,
and
do
impose
upon
other
;
but
this
is
where
Self-advantage
killeth
and
choaketh
the
Witness
of
〈◊〉
,
though
however
in
it self
imposing
,
as
aforesaid
,
in
Religious
Ma●…rs
is
contrary
to
the
Holy
Law
of
God
,
and
a
doing
to
others
as
men
would
not
be
done
unto
by
others
:
And
therefore
't
is
Unrighteous
,
both
before
God
and
all
just
Men.
3.
It
is
Unrighteous
to
impose
Worship
by
Force
,
because
it
is
an
exercising
Dominion
over
men's
Faith
by
Force
of
outward
Power
,
which
the
Apo●●le
renounces
,
and
seems
to
forbid
,
saying
,
They
had
not
dominion
over
mens
Faith
:
●●d
if
the
Apostles
themselves
had
not
power
and
dominion
over
men's
Faith
,
that
is
to
say
,
To
Command
mens
Faith
,
to
believe
or
do
this
,
or
the
other
,
but
〈◊〉
the
holy
Spirit
of
Christ
perswaded
their
Consciences
inwardly
;
then
no
outward
Power
of
Kings
or
Rulers
whatsoever
can
Justly
or
Righteously
chalenge
●…h
priviledge
as
to
have
dominion
over
mens
faith

by
imposing
upon
them
through
force
,
which
is
to
take
dominion
over
men's
faith

which
is
unrigh●…
,
because
it
is
contrary
to
the
Scripture
,
and
to
the
example
of
the
Apost●…
〈◊〉
,
inasmuch
as
it
is
exercising
dominion

Lord●●ip
over
the

not

to
Christ
the
true
Shepherd

who

teach
his

by
his
Spirit
into
all
truth
both
of

Faith

〈◊〉

but
whosoever
doth
this
,
it
is
unrighteous
.
4.
It
is
Unrighteous
,
in
respect
of
the
Fruits
,
and
Effects
which
alwayes
have
and
ever
will
be
produced
by
such
Imposition
upon
Conscience
in
Religious
Matters
,
as
aforesaid
(
to
wit
)
Persecution
and
Cruelty
of
Men
exercised
in
that
Case
,
which
ever
hath
been
,
and
will
be
brought
forth
in
Nations
and
Kingdoms
,
where
such
Impositions
are
:
For
if
we
look
into
Ages
past
,
what
Strife
and
Contention
,
what
Enmity
and
Bitterness
,
what
Wars
and
Bloodsheds
,
what
Dangers
and
Mischiefs
,
what
Persecutions
and
Cruelties
have
been
brought
forth
among
men
,
between
Kingdom
and
Kingdom
,
between
City
and
City
,
between
Kings
and
their
Subjects
,
between
Neighbours
and
Neighbours
,
between
Brother
and
Brother
,
upon
this
very
Unrighteous
Account
of
Imposing
upon
Conscience
by
Force
in
respect
of
Worship
?
and
every
Nation
and
City
at
this
day
is
in
the
same
Danger
of
the
same
Mischiefs
,
where
such
impositions
are
in
Force
;
and
therefore
needs
must
the
Occasion
of
these
so
unjust
and
unrighteous
Effects
,
which
doth
administer
the
Reason
of
such
Contentions
Wars
,
Persecutions
and
Cruelties
be
Unrighteous
,
and
such
is
imposing
in
Matters
Religious
,
as
aforesaid
:
and
this
is
partly
manifest
,
and
will
be
mor●
and
more
through
the
World
,
That
that
Kingdom
,
City
and
Country
will
not
be
free
from
these
Dangers
and
Mischiefs
,
but
will
alwayes
be
liable
unto
them
while
this
kind
of
Imposition
by
Force
on
the
Conscience
is
unremoved
;
and
that
which
is
the
Occasion
of
such
continual
present
Dangers
,
to
destroy
Kingdoms
,
Cities
and
Peoples
is
Unrighteous
;
and
such
is
Imposition
in
the
Matters
of
Worship
and
Religion
.
5.
It
is
unrighteous
in
any
King
,
Prince
,
or
Authority
of
this
World
to
Impose
,
as
aforesaid
,
because
it
diverteth
,
confoundeth
and
destroyeth
the
End
of
Just
Rule
and
Government
amongst
men
one
over
another
,
which
is
only
to
Rule
well
in
outward
Affair
,
and
over
the
outward
Man
,
to
keep
that
in
Peace
and
Good
Order
,
and
to
be
a
Praise
to
them
that
do
Well
,
and
a
Terror
to
all
that
do
Evil
in
the
Outward
Man
;
this
is
the
only
End
of
Government
and
Rule
amongst
men
in
this
World
,
To
Rule
well
over
the
Outward
Man
,
in
things
between
man
and
man
;
but
not
to
Rule
over
men's
Consciences
,
and
to
exercise
Lordship
over
men
in
the
Spiritual
Matters
of
Christ's
Kingdom
,
this
pertains
not
to
the
outward
Worldly
Government
of
Men
;
and
therefore
whosoever
do
take
it
upon
them
,
and
thereby
do
oppress
the
Conscience
of
any
,
by
forcing
in
Spiritual
Mattters
,
doth
Unrighteously
,
inasmuch
as
they
do
diver●
the
End
of
their
Authority
,
and
use
their
Power
to
another
End
then
God
hath
appointed
them
:
and
while
they
should
only
preserve
and
defend
the
outward
man
by
good
and
wholesome
Laws
,
made
for
that
purpose
,
they
vex
and
oppress
the
Inward
Man
,
even
the
Conscience
,
by
forcing
upon
it
,
and
Imposing
through
Violence
in
the
Matters
Religious
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
End
of
Just
Rule
and
Government
in
the
World
;
and
therefore
is
wholy
Unrighteous
.
6.
It
is
Unrighteous
,
because
it
effects
no
Good
End
,
nor
begets
people
into
the
true
Faith
and
Worship
of
God
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
makes
many
Hypocrites
,
even
through
fear
and
terror
;
such
Laws
forcing
Conformity
,
do
make
many
hypocritically
conform
to
such
or
such
way
of
worship
,
which
the
Spirit
of
Christ
doth
not
perswade
their
Consciences
of
the
truth
of
;
nay
,
it
may
be
against
their
Conscience
;
and
that
(
Imposition
as
aforesaid
)
which
is
the
cause
of
this
,
is
surely
Unrighteous
;
unrighteous
,
because
the
End
propounded
by
the
Imposers
(
which
is
,
to
make
people
true
Worshippers
of
God
)
is
utterly
frustrate
and
void
;
and
none
are
made
true
Worshippers
of
God
by
such
Imposition
and
Force
,
but
many
are
made
Hypocrites
thereby
,
and
sinners
against
God
;
for
what
any
performs
to
God-wards
by
Force
,
and
not
of
Faith
(
given
into
the
heart
by
God
)
it
is
sin
;
For
whatsoever
is
not
of
Faith
,
is
sin
,
as
saith
the
Scriptures
;
and
that
which
is
the
occasion
of
hypocrisie
and
sin
,
is
unrighteous
,
and
temptation
;
but
such
is
imposing
on
Conscience
by
force
in
religious
Matters
.
7.
It
is
Unrighteous
and
Unreasonable
to
Impose
by
Force
upon
Conscience
,
because
it
is
the
Occasion
of
absolute
E●…remity
put
upon
many
that
are
Dear
and
Precious
to
the
Lord
,
even
such
a●
Extremity
as
may
force
(
unavoidably
)
the
ruin
of
either
Soul
or
Body
(
or
both
)
in
this
World
,
and
hereafter
,
For
,
suppose
such
Laws
be
made
for
the
forcing
of
Confor●ity
,
to
comm●…
men
to
Worship
upon
the
Forfeiture
of
whole
Estate
,
Banishment
o●
Death
,
which
is
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
good
Conscience
:
And
if
such
Laws
be
not
obeyed
,
and
such
Conformity
made
,
but
the
Conscience
kept
clear
to
God
,
then
the
outward
Man
in
his
Person
,
Estate
and
Family
is
ruined
in
this
World
:
and
if
such
Laws
be
obeyed
,
and
such
Conformity
yielded
,
contrary
to
good
Conscience
,
then
the
Inward
Man
is
ruined
,
and
the
Soul
and
Conscience
wounded
and
grieved
,
because
God
is
Offended
,
and
Christ
is
Denyed
,
and
the
Law
of
Men
obeyed
rather
then
the
Law
of
God
;
and
this
is
by
an
Extremity
occasion'd
,
through
imposed
force
in
the
Cases
of
Conscience
,
by
Authority
and
Laws
of
Men.
And
that
which
is
the
Occasion
of
such
Ruin
and
Destruction
to
the
Souls
and
Bodies
of
such
as
fear
the
Lord
,
is
an
Unrighteous
Thing
,
which
administers
that
woful
Extremity
,
To
deny
God
,
and
so
to
be
liable
to
his
Wrath
and
Judgments
;
or
,
to
deny
the
Authority
of
Men
,
and
so
to
be
liable
to
Destruction
of
Person
and
Estate
in
this
World
;
and
such
is
Imposing
of
Worship
.
8.
It
is
Unrighteous
and
Unreasonable
,
because
it
may
destroy
the
Faith
of
some
,
even
of
such
upon
whom
Imposition
is
laid
,
against
their
pure
Consciences
:
For
,
Suppose
a
Person
(
or
People
)
being
truly
perswaded
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
the
true
Way
of
Religion
and
Worship
of
God
,
having
therein
true
Peace
with
God
in
a
clean
Conscience
,
and
by
force
of
Law
,
and
through
cruel
Imposition
,
should
be
forced
from
that
Way
of
Worship
which
they
have
had
Peace
with
God
in
,
and
which
the
Spirit
of
Christ
perswaded
them
of
the
truth
of
,
unto
such
a
Way
of
Worship
which
they
could
not
have
Peace
with
God
in
,
nor
the
Comfort
of
his
Presence
in
such
Conformity
forced
upon
them
;
this
were
certainly
Unrighteous
and
Unreasonable
,
that
a
People
(
or
a
Person
)
should
be
forced
by
Laws
from
that
way
wherein
they
have
Peace
and
Blessings
with
God
,
to
that
Way
wherein
their
Souls
are
famished
for
want
of
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
:
Like
as
if
a
Person
of
such
a
Calling
,
following
the
same
in
a
certain
City
or
Town
,
whereby
he
maintained
himself
in
all
good
things
,
and
wanted
nothing
;
and
yet
the
chief
Magistrate
of
the
said
City
or
Town
should
forcibly
compel
(
by
Violence
)
the
said
Person
of
so
good
a
Calling
,
from
that
his
Calling
,
(
whereby
he
so
well
maintained
himself
in
the
World
)
and
should
force
upon
him
to
follow
another
Calling
,
of
which
he
could
not
live
in
the
World
,
but
by
it
he
might
Perish
and
Starve
;
Would
not
all
reasonable
men
conclude
,
the
same
Imposition
of
the
said
Magistrate
upon
the
said
poor
Man
were
Oppression
,
Cruelty
,
Unrighteous
,
and
Unreasonable
:
And
the
case
of
imposing
Religion
,
as
aforesaid
,
is
the
greater
Oppression
and
Cruelty
,
inasmuch
as
it
respects
the
Immortal
Soul
,
which
is
more
worth
then
the
Body
;
and
the
other
respects
but
the
Body
,
which
is
of
less
worth
(
with
all
that
concerns
it
)
then
is
the
Soul
,
which
is
Immortal
.
Lastly
,
'T
is
Unrighteous
,
inasmuch
as
it
is
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
(
of
the
New
Testament
in
the
Dispensation
of
the
Gospel
)
which
are
before
cited
,
and
contrary
to
Christ
and
his
Apostles
Example
in
the
Primitive
Churches
of
Christians
:
And
thus
it
is
manifest
,
That
Imposing
by
Force
upon
Conscience
in
Religious
Matters
is
Unrighteous
and
Unreasonable
,
and
is
not
of
Christ
,
but
of
Antichrist
,
as
is
by
plain
Reasons
demonstrated
.
And
now
I
shall
in
a
few
words
shew
,
The
Danger
of
Imposing
Worship
,
〈◊〉
aforesaid
,
and
how
Dangerous
it
is
to
any
King
,
Prince
or
outward
Authority
,
that
are
or
may
be
the
Imposers
on
the
Consciences
of
Men
,
by
Force
,
in
the
Case
of
Worship
and
Religion
.
1.
It
is
Dangerous
to
cause
the
People
to
sin
,
to
cause
them
to
conform
in
Appearance
,
when
the
Heart
is
not
devout
to
God
;
and
this
makes
them
Hypocrites
:
Dangerous
to
cause
People
to
perform
Duty
to
God-wards
,
without
Faith
in
God
;
and
this
makes
them
Sinners
against
him
;
For
whatsoever
is
not
of
Faith
is
Sin
:
Dangerous
to
cause
some
to
deny
Christ
before
men
,
for
the
Fear
of
this
World
,
and
Terrors
of
Violent
Men
,
and
to
forsake
that
Way
which
they
know
is
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
follow
that
Way
which
they
know
is
not
of
him
;
and
this
denying
the
Lord
of
Life
,
and
a
great
Abomination
against
him
:
And
the
Cause
of
that
cause
is
,
Imposing
by
Force
upon
Conscience
in
Matters
Religious
;
and
the
Reason
of
all
this
is
,
The
Imposers
,
such
as
make
and
Execute
such
Force
;
and
this
Danger
all
such
are
involved
in
,
even
the
Danger
of
causing
People
to
sin
against
God
,
of
Denying
Christ
,
of
making
Hypocrites
,
and
so
even
in
the
Danger
of
Destroying
Souls
,
which
is
a
desperate
Danger
:
Oh!
that
all
the
Imposers
of
Religion
by
Force
would
consider
it
,
and
look
upon
the
Danger
which
they
are
deeply
fallen
into
,
and
involved
in
,
by
reason
of
such
their
Imposing
upon
Conscience
;
Alas
!
they
are
in
the
Danger
of
destroying
Souls
,
of
causing
a
Nation
and
People
to
sin
against
God
,
and
to
deny
the
Lord
of
Life
.
And
how
great
is
such
a
Danger
!
even
to
be
avoided
of
all
,
if
they
love
their
own
Souls
,
and
not
to
be
the
Occasions
and
Cause
of
destroying
Souls
by
causing
People
to
sin
;
and
this
Danger
all
the
Imposers
upon
Conscience
are
captivated
in
.
And
2.
It
is
Dangerous
to
be
a
Means
to
destroy
that
Kingdom
,
City
or
Country
,
and
the
Rulers
thereof
,
by
begetting
and
nourishing
Discontents
,
Heart-burnings
,
and
Envying
among
the
People
,
one
against
another
,
and
against
their
Rulers
,
because
of
such
Unrighteous
Force
and
Violence
,
exercised
by
Imposition
upon
their
Consciences
.
Dangerous
,
I
say
,
to
raise
into
Contentions
,
Strifes
,
Broyles
,
and
Blood-shed
it self
,
in
a
Kingdom
amongst
People
.
And
this
is
a
Danger
violently
impending
upon
such
Rulers
or
do
impose
,
as
aforesaid
;
even
a
Danger
to
ruin
their
own
Power
and
Authority
,
and
to
ruin
the
People
under
their
Dominion
,
by
raising
the
People
into
Discontents
and
Broyles
,
through
the
Cruelty
of
the
Oppression
of
Imposing
Religion
;
and
the
Example
hereof
may
be
read
in
Nations
and
Countries
at
this
day
;
what
Discontents
and
Contentions
have
arisen
dangerously
among
people
one
towards
another
,
and
towards
their
Rulers
,
upon
this
Cause
and
Occasion
of
Imposing
Religion
by
Force
Unrighteously
;
and
't
is
a
Danger
this
day
that
all
the
Rulers
of
the
World
are
exposed
unto
,
and
deeply
involved
in
,
where
this
Cause
of
Imposing
Religion
is
ext●nt
in
Force
.
3.
It
is
Dangerous
to
Impose
Religion
by
Force
,
because
it
must
needs
produce
Oppression
,
Persecution
,
Violence
and
Hatred
in
the
prosecution
thereof
;
and
this
is
dangerous
to
any
Kings
,
Rulers
or
Governours
,
to
be
reputed
Oppressors
,
Persecutors
and
Violent
Men
;
this
is
Infamous
,
and
of
bad
Report
amongst
men
,
and
Abomination
and
Wickedness
in
the
sight
of
God
,
for
any
Rulers
upon
Earth
to
be
Oppressors
,
Persecutors
and
Cruel
Men
;
and
such
consequently
must
they
be
,
that
are
Imposers
upon
mens
Consciences
in
Matters
Religious
.
And
this
Danger
all
the
Rulers
of
the
World
are
in
,
that
do
Impose
Religion
by
Force
,
even
to
render
themselves
Infamous
by
Oppression
in
the
sight
of
men
,
and
to
render
themselves
Sinners
against
God
;
and
this
Danger
falls
upon
the
Imposers
of
Religion
,
because
of
such
their
Impositions
by
Force
upon
the
Consciences
of
men
.
Lastly
,
'T
is
Dangerous
,
because
't
is
of
Antichrist
,
and
not
of
Christ
,
as
before
proved
;
and
all
that
do
Impose
by
Violence
on
the
Consciences
of
Men
in
Religious
Cases
,
are
of
Antichrist
in
so
doing
,
and
because
thereof
,
liable
to
God's
Indignation
and
Heavy
Wrath
in
this
World
and
hereafter
;
and
't
is
Dangerous
to
bring
the
Wrath
and
Judgments
of
God
upon
Men
that
are
guilty
thereof
;
for
God
will
be
avenged
upon
such
his
Enemies
,
that
exercise
Violence
and
Persecution
upon
Men
for
their
Conscience
sake
:
And
this
is
a
Danger
unavoidable
,
which
all
that
impose
Religion
are
liable
unto
,
even
to
be
Cut
Off
in
the
Wrath
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
undergo
his
Indignation
for
all
the
Reasons
before
shewed
.
These
,
with
many
other
Dangers
are
they
involved
in
that
are
Imposers
in
Religious
Matters
;
Therefore
,
Oh
that
the
Rulers
of
this
World
would
be
Wise
now
in
their
last
day
;
and
would
consider
the
Unjustness
and
Unreasonableness
of
their
Imposing
Religion
,
and
the
many
Dangers
that
attend
the
same
!
Oh
that
they
would
learn
God's
Counsel
,
and
Rule
only
for
him
in
Justice
,
Mercy
,
Truth
,
Equity
and
true
Judgment
,
exercising
the
same
in
the
Meek
and
Lowly
Spirit
of
Jesus
among
men
,
and
over
whom
they
are
set
to
Rule
in
this
World
,
and
would
give
to
God
Almighty
his
Due
,
and
Right
,
and
Priviledge
,
in
exercising
the
Consciences
of
Men
by
his
Spirit
in
all
Cases
of
Christ's
Kingdom
;
for
it
only
belongs
to
him
to
be
Ruler
in
the
Inward
Man
:
Oh!
that
the
Rulers
of
this
World
would
give
this
Power
and
Dominion
unto
God
,
and
would
from
henceforth
never
more
exercise
Lordship
over
Conscience
by
Imposing
Religion
through
Force
;
but
would
only
Rule
well
over
the
Outward
Man
,
in
the
things
pertaining
to
Man
,
and
would
leave
to
God
the
Rule
and
Exercise
of
Conscience
:
Oh!
then
would
it
go
well
with
them
,
and
Happy
and
Blessed
should
they
be
in
such
their
Authority
;
and
Peace
should
be
unto
them
if
that
they
only
took
the
Government
(
as
appointed
of
God
)
over
the
outward
Man
,
and
did
not
impose
upon
the
inward
man
by
Force
in
Religious
Matters
,
but
committed
that
Authority
to
God
;
Then
,
I
say
,
should
Peace
and
Blessings
be
unto
them
:
But
while
it
is
otherwise
,
even
while
they
exercise
Dominion
and
Lordship
over
Conscience
,
as
aforesaid
,
they
do
unjustly
and
Unreasonably
,
and
bring
upon
themselves
many
Dangers
,
and
are
liable
to
Contentions
,
Oppositions
,
Wars
,
and
many
Mischiefs
in
this
World
,
and
to
the
Anger
and
Wrath
of
God
in
the
World
that
is
to
come
.

Concerning
Heresie
,
the
Case
Stated
,
What
it
is
in
it self
,
and
who
a
Heretick
is
,
and
who
are
the
absolute
true
Iudges
of
it
;
and
what
Punishment
pertains
to
such
as
are
truly
convicted
of
Heresie
.
1.
THere
is
such
a
thing
as
Heresie
in
it self
,
even
many
Heresies
and
Errors
abounding
amongst
the
Sons
of
Men
in
the
World
at
this
day
;
and
there
was
Heresie
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
amongst
them
,
brought
in
by
such
as
erred
from
the
Truth
,
after
they
had
once
known
the
Truth
,
and
received
it
,
as
ye
may
read
;
the
Iews
they
cryed
out
of
Heresie
in
their
time
,
which
caused
the
Apostle
to
say
to
them
,
Acts
24.
14.
After
that
Way
which
ye
call
Heresie
do
we
worship
the
God
of
our
Fathers
:
And
the
Apostle
said
(
1
Cor.
11.
)
to
the
Church
,
There
must
be
also
Heresies
amongst
you
,
that
they
that
are
approved
of
God
may
be
made
manifest
:
And
(
2
Pet.
2.
1.
)
it
is
spoken
of
some
who
should
privily
bring
in
Damnable
Heresies
into
the
Church
:
By
all
which
it
is
manifest
,
there
was
in
the
Apostles
dayes
Heresie
and
Heresies
,
as
there
is
at
this
day
,
even
many
Heresies
and
Errors
in
the
World
,
held
,
professed
and
maintained
by
the
Apostate
Christians
,
that
are
gone
into
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
,
and
are
turned
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
soundness
of
his
Doctrine
,
into
the
formal
Profession
of
Religion
,
and
of
the
words
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
among
such
are
the
Heresies
and
Errors
.
2.
Heresie
is
somewhat
believed
and
professed
in
Practice
of
Worship
,
and
in
Point
of
Faith
and
Doctrine
,
that
is
either
contrary
to
,
or
different
from
the
perfect
Truth
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
;
something
(
I
say
)
held
and
practiced
in
Point
of
Worship
,
Faith
and
Doctrine
,
which
is
not
justly
according
to
the
pure
Truth
of
Jesus
,
but
either
in
whole
,
or
in
part
different
from
,
and
contrary
thereunto
;
and
whatsoever
Practice
of
Worship
or
Point
of
Doctrine
,
as
is
so
held
,
professed
,
believed
or
practiced
is
Heresie
and
Error
,
because
it
is
different
from
and
contrary
to
(
in
whole
or
in
part
)
the
perfect
Truth
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
because
thereof
it
is
Heresie
;
and
such
is
Heresie
in
it self
,
different
from
and
contrary
unto
the
Gospel
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
;
though
as
for
the
particular
Parts
and
Points
of
Heresie
,
in
Worship
,
Doctrine
and
Practice
,
which
are
at
this
day
held
,
professed
and
believed
among
Apostate
Christians
are
so
very
many
,
that
they
would
be
too
large
here
to
ennumerate
;
but
my
present
Intention
is
only
this
,
To
shew
at
large
what
Heresie
is
in
it self
,
and
who
is
a
Heretick
.
3.
A
Heretick
(
one
that
is
properly
so
)
is
such
a
Person
as
hath
sometime
believed
in
the
Truth
,
and
made
Profession
and
Acknowledgment
of
the
Way
of
true
Christianity
,
and
hath
received
and
held
the
true
Faith
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
been
in
some
measure
united
to
Christ
,
and
a
Member
of
his
Church
,
but
is
fallen
and
degenerated
in
whole
or
in
part
from
the
said
Faith
and
Acknowledgment
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
Way
of
Christianity
,
and
hath
erred
from
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
once
believed
and
received
,
and
so
is
divided
(
in
whole
or
in
part
)
from
the
true
Church
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
from
being
a
Member
of
the
same
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
hath
received
also
,
and
doth
hold
some
False
Principles
,
Opinions
,
and
Practices
,
either
different
from
,
or
contrary
to
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
before
believed
in
,
known
,
and
professed
;
such
a
man
is
a
Heretick
(
though
generally
,
yet
)
truly
described
:
Not
such
as
are
Heathens
,
Unconverted
,
who
never
believed
yet
in
the
Gospel
,
such
who
have
alwayes
resisted
the
Truth
,
and
never
yet
were
convinced
of
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
nor
ever
tasted
of
his
Word
and
Power
;
but
have
alwayes
been
Strangers
to
the
Israel
of
God
,
and
Enemies
to
the
Church
of
Christ
;
such
are
not
properly
called
Hereticks
,
though
they
do
err
in
Mind
,
Heart
,
and
Practice
;
but
such
only
as
have
believed
in
Christ
,
and
Professed
his
Truth
,
and
been
of
the
Church
,
and
yet
are
fallen
away
from
the
perfect
Truth
,
into
some
false
Principles
and
Practices
,
and
are
become
unsound
in
Judgment
,
and
erroneous
in
their
Understandings
,
and
have
forsaken
the
Way
of
Truth
(
in
whole
,
or
in
part
)
and
are
corrupted
,
and
lost
their
Love
to
God
and
his
Wayes
,
and
are
obstinate
,
and
hardened
against
the
Truth
(
which
once
they
believed
)
and
with
False
Doctrines
,
Principles
and
Practices
do
gainsay
and
oppose
the
Truth
,
and
them
that
are
stedfast
in
it
:
These
are
Hereticks
,
and
truly
so
called
;
Men
that
have
erred
from
the
Faith
,
that
have
made
ship-rack
of
it
,
and
of
a
good
Conscience
,
that
are
turned
against
the
Lord
and
his
People
,
and
gainsay
the
Truth
that
once
themselves
have
believed
and
professed
.
These
are
Erroneous
Men
,
and
Hereticks
;
and
such
Hereticks
there
were
in
the
Church
,
and
among
the
Corinthians
;
and
there
were
such
who
did
creep
into
the
Church
,
and
privily
brought
in
Heresies
amongst
them
,
as
before
is
proved
.
And
these
Hereticks
were
such
as
had
once
been
amongst
the
true
Members
of
the
true
Church
,
and
been
convinced
of
the
true
Jesus
,
and
had
sometimes
walked
with
them
,
but
were
departed
from
them
,
and
had
forsaken
the
Truth
,
and
received
false
Principles
and
Opinions
,
and
therefore
they
were
truly
nominated
Hereticks
,
and
all
such
at
this
day
are
truly
so
called
.
And
this
is
the
Description
in
general
of
a
Heretick
.
4.
Now
I
come
to
declare
who
are
the
true
Judges
of
Heresie
and
Hereticks
;
Not
every
man
can
judge
in
this
case
,
in
his
own
Thoughts
,
Imaginations
,
and
Suppositions
,
who
are
Hereticks
,
and
who
are
guilty
of
Heresie
;
though
it
hath
been
the
practice
for
many
Generations
amongst
the
Apostate
Christians
to
reproach
,
traduce
and
accuse
one
another
to
be
Hereticks
,
and
each
sort
and
sect
of
false
Christians
,
to
judge
,
censure
and
condemn
others
that
are
not
of
their
Judgement
and
Opinion
,
but
different
from
them
,
to
be
Hereticks
and
Erroneous
;
and
this
hath
been
usual
among
many
;
but
this
is
not
the
true
Judgement
,
not
the
way
to
try
and
judge
truly
who
Hereticks
are
,
by
one
Sect
and
sort
slandering
and
accusing
others
to
be
such
,
because
they
have
not
conformed
to
their
Way
and
Principles
,
but
been
different
from
them
;
true
Judgement
hath
not
been
brought
forth
in
this
case
,
on
this
wise
,
but
rather
Envy
and
Enmity
hath
judged
,
and
men's
thoughts
,
imaginations
and
jealousies
have
falsly
judged
in
this
matter
,
and
no
sound
judgement
determined
who
have
been
Hereticks
;
for
men
have
judged
of
one
another
by
their
private
jealousies
and
evil
conceivings
,
and
censured
one
another
to
be
Hereticks
,
without
the
Spirit
of
sound
discerning
,
and
just
Judgement
;
and
all
that
Judgement
brought
forth
in
that
case
,
without
the
infallible
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
,
which
is
onely
true
Discerner
and
Judge
in
the
matter
,
hath
been
false
Judgement
,
and
men
have
judged
one
another
falsly
upon
envy
and
evil
suppositions
,
and
without
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
and
it
hath
often
happened
by
reason
hereof
,
That
such
so
judged
for
Hereticks
,
have
been
more
righteous
,
and
more
in
the
truth
,
then
they
that
have
so
judged
them
;
and
the
Judges
have
been
more
out
of
the
truth
,
and
more
Hereticks
themselves
,
then
they
whom
they
have
falsly
Judged
:
And
this
might
be
made
appear
through
several
Times
and
Ages
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
among
the
false
Christians
.
5.
None
are
able
to
dilcern
of
Heresie
,
nor
to
try
and
judge
justly
who
are
Hereticks
,
none
but
they
(
I
say
)
that
have
the
infallible
Spirit
of
God
in
them
,
to
guide
them
,
and
have
infallibility
and
perfect
certainty
of
Judgment
and
Knowledge
in
that
case
of
Heresie
;
none
else
are
rightly
able
to
judge
who
are
Hereticks
,
but
such
(
I
say
)
as
have
the
infallible
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
are
infallible
and
certain
in
their
Judgments
;
these
onely
,
and
none
else
,
are
able
to
judge
,
they
onely
are
competent
Iudges
in
this
case
of
Heresie
,
and
who
are
Hereticks
;
and
if
any
judge
in
that
Case
,
it
is
but
out
of
Envy
and
Enmity
,
and
in
the
evil
Suppositions
and
Conceivings
,
as
aforesaid
,
and
must
needs
be
false
and
unjust
Judgment
,
if
they
have
not
the
infallible
Spirit
of
God
,
and
infallibility
of
Judgment
to
discern
by
,
and
determine
with
in
that
Case
;
for
no
man
nor
men
,
may
,
or
can
justly
judge
another
in
the
matter
of
Heresie
,
as
a
Heretick
,
by
their
own
thoughts
or
suppositions
,
out
of
their
enmity
,
and
for
their
self-Interests
;
but
the
Judgement
in
that
matter
must
be
just
,
equal
,
holy
and
true
,
and
onely
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
which
is
infallible
,
and
gives
infallibility
of
Judgement
and
discerning
into
all
cases
and
things
;
for
it
was
Christ
Jesus
and
his
Apostles
,
and
the
Saints
that
had
the
infallible
Spirit
of
God
,
and
infallibility
of
judgement
,
that
could
onely
judge
justly
of
such
things
,
who
were
Hereticks
,
and
who
were
not
;
and
it
was
not
the
Iews
nor
Pharisees
that
could
justly
discern
or
judge
in
God's
Spiritual
matters
;
but
they
alwayes
judged
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
of
the
things
pertaining
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
falsly
and
unjustly
in
their
evil
suppositions
and
envy
;
and
this
was
because
they
had
not
the
infallible
Spirit
of
Judgement
,
nor
the
certain
,
infallible
knowledge
and
discerning
of
different
things
in
Spiritual
Cases
;
and
so
it
is
now
at
this
day
amongst
them
called
Christians
;
there
is
none
can
discern
truly
,
nor
judge
justly
what
Heresie
is
,
nor
who
is
a
Heretick
,
but
such
as
are
guided
by
the
infallible
Spirit
of
God
,
and
have
infallibility
of
Judgement
;
nor
none
can
make
Laws
whereby
justly
to
judge
of
Heresie
and
Hereticks
,
but
them
who
have
the
same
infallible
spirit
of
God
guiding
them
,
and
have
received
infallibility
of
Judgement
:
So
both
the
Law-makers
,
and
the
Judges
of
the
Law
,
must
be
infallible
in
knowledge
and
judgement
in
this
case
of
Heresie
,
otherwise
the
Law
made
for
that
purpose
,
and
the
Judgment
given
by
that
Law
are
both
False
and
Unjust
,
and
not
according
to
God
and
his
Truth
,
but
are
to
be
justly
judged
and
condemned
of
the
Lord
God
in
his
day
and
season
.
6.
Now
it
remains
to
be
enquired
into
,
Whether
there
is
any
Punishment
pertaining
to
Hereticks
,
as
such
,
for
such
Heresies
held
by
them
:
Being
first
convicted
truly
thereof
,
as
aforesaid
,
by
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
in
whom
there
is
infallibility
of
Judgment
,
Knowledge
and
discerning
in
that
case
;
for
in
the
true
Church
of
Christ
doth
infallibility
of
true
Judgment
and
Knowledge
dwell
,
and
every
true
Member
of
the
true
Church
hath
its
particular
Measure
of
the
infallible
Spirit
of
Christ
,
whereby
he
is
certainly
perswaded
of
the
Way
of
Truth
in
which
he
walks
,
and
knows
and
believes
the
infallibility
of
the
Truth
he
professeth
,
and
is
certain
and
secure
of
the
Way
of
his
Peace
and
Assurance
in
God
,
which
he
hath
received
and
believed
;
and
also
,
hath
certainty
and
infallibility
of
Judgment
,
and
Discerning
who
are
out
of
the
Truth
,
and
in
the
Way
of
Error
,
and
are
Hereticks
;
such
are
infallibly
known
and
discerned
by
the
Spirit
of
God
in
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
and
by
every
Member
of
the
same
,
according
to
his
measure
of
the
same
Spirit
,
and
Gift
of
Knowledge
and
Discerning
by
it
.
And
to
such
as
are
so
convicted
by
the
infallible
Spirit
of
Christ
,
for
such
their
Heresies
,
there
is
a
Punishment
pertaining
;
for
Hereticks
were
to
be
punished
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
according
to
Paul's
Instructions
,
1
Cor.
5.
5.
which
was
,
That
such
a
one
as
had
erred
from
the
Truth
which
once
he
knew
,
should
be
delivered
up
unto
Satan
for
the
Destruction
of
his
Flesh
,
that
the
Spirit
might
be
saved
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
:
Here
was
a
Punishment
described
by
the
Apostle
for
this
Heretick
,
that
had
erred
and
gone
from
the
Truth
,
and
acted
against
it
,
though
once
he
believed
in
it
,
and
knew
it
.
And
again
,
Tit.
3.
10.
he
exhorts
and
advises
,
That
a
man
that
is
a
Heretick
,
after
the
first
and
second
Admonition
,
should
be
wholy
rejected
,
and
turned
away
from
,
and
judged
with
the
Holy
Spirit
of
God
.
And
thus
it
is
clear
,
there
is
such
a
thing
as
dealing
with
men
that
are
Hereticks
,
and
punishing
them
for
such
their
Heresie
,
according
to
the
Apostle's
Doctrines
and
Instructions
:
And
without
all
controversie
,
such
as
do
err
from
the
Faith
which
once
they
have
received
,
and
turn
from
the
Truth
in
principle
or
practice
,
must
not
escape
unpunished
,
but
must
receive
the
sentence
of
just
Judgement
from
God
,
and
from
his
Saints
that
continue
faithful
.
7.
But
what
kind
or
nature
this
punishment
is
of
,
in
what
way
and
manner
such
as
are
Hereticks
,
may
be
,
and
ought
to
be
punished
,
is
doubtful
to
many
,
and
is
a
case
at
this
time
to
be
inquired
into
;
for
that
way
and
practice
of
punishing
such
as
have
been
supposed
to
be
Hereticks
,
as
among
the
Christians
(
so
called
)
for
many
generations
;
(
to
wit
)
the
way
and
practice
of
burning
,
banishing
,
killing
,
imprisoning
and
afflicting
corporally
the
persons
of
them
that
have
been
called
Hereticks
,
for
their
heresies
,
and
laying
forfeitures
and
penalties
on
their
bodies
and
estates
,
as
hath
been
the
practice
of
Papists
and
Protestants
towards
one
another
since
the
Apostles
dayes
;
this
way
and
practice
hath
not
been
of
God
,
nor
by
any
example
or
precept
of
the
Apostles
,
or
first
Christian
Churches
established
in
their
dayes
;
they
did
not
practise
or
prescribe
such
dealing
towards
them
that
were
truly
Hereticks
,
and
were
erred
from
the
Faith
and
Truth
of
Jesus
Christ
;
not
Killing
,
Burning
,
Banishing
and
Prosecuting
the
Persons
of
Hereticks
,
this
was
not
the
way
of
the
Spirit
of
God
among
the
Primitive
Christians
,
they
did
it
not
,
nor
gave
institution
for
the
doing
of
it
at
any
time
;
but
this
way
of
dealing
towards
Hereticks
,
in
such
cruel
proceedings
as
hath
been
in
practice
for
many
Ages
,
is
of
Satan
and
Antichrist
,
and
is
down-right
Murder
,
Robbery
,
and
Wickedness
in
the
Eye
of
the
just
God
;
while
one
Sect
or
Sort
of
Christians
(
so
called
)
have
punished
and
enviously
persecuted
another
Sort
different
from
them
as
Hereticks
,
with
grievous
Afflictions
in
Body
and
Estate
,
even
unto
Death
and
Banishment
;
this
hath
not
been
of
God
,
nor
true
Christian-like
,
but
of
the
wicked
one
,
and
Cruelties
and
Murders
before
the
Lord
;
neither
are
the
same
proceedings
at
this
day
,
in
any
part
of
the
World
,
where
they
are
extant
,
any
just
legal
Righteous
,
Christian-like
way
of
proceeding
according
to
Apostolical
example
;
but
are
of
Antichrist
,
and
of
the
Wicked
one
,
as
I
have
said
:
And
this
Way
and
Practice
of
proceeding
towards
Hereticks
,
hath
been
so
far
from
effecting
the
return
of
any
to
the
Way
of
the
Lord
,
that
have
been
erred
from
it
,
(
as
the
end
of
proceeding
toward
Hereticks
should
effect
)
that
the
way
and
practice
of
Killing
,
Banishment
,
and
Persecuting
by
violence
Hereticks
(
so
called
)
hath
hardned
men
in
their
evil
way
,
and
made
such
as
have
been
Hereticks
more
bold
,
confident
,
and
obstinate
in
their
Way
,
Heresie
and
Errors
and
many
that
have
been
more
righteous
,
and
clearer
from
Heresie
then
such
as
have
so
judged
them
,
have
been
destroyed
by
cruel
dealing
,
and
many
others
have
been
destroyed
in
their
Iniquities
and
Errors
,
by
being
so
proceeded
against
:
And
thus
true
Judgment
and
Justice
in
this
case
have
been
perverted
,
and
turned
backwards
,
and
because
of
Ignorance
and
Cruelty
the
Righteous
have
suffered
unjustly
,
as
the
Wicked
,
and
the
Wicked
have
suffered
by
unjust
proceedings
;
and
thus
the
Way
of
Righteousness
hath
not
been
known
in
the
Earth
,
but
Error
upon
Error
,
one
evil
upon
another
hath
come
,
onesin
added
to
another
among
the
Sons
of
men
in
the
Apostacy
,
amongst
the
false
Christians
.
8.
But
the
perfect
Way
of
the
Lord
in
proceeding
towards
such
as
are
truly
Hereticks
,
so
discerned
and
infallibly
judged
to
be
by
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
is
this
;
Let
such
first
be
admonished
,
advised
,
instructed
and
warned
again
and
again
;
to
beware
,
return
from
,
and
renounce
such
false
Principles
,
Doctrines
and
practices
held
by
them
,
and
this
in
the
spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
in
perfect
love
,
and
in
meekness
,
and
in
the
wisdom
of
the
Lord
God
;
such
,
I
say
,
as
are
erred
from
the
way
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
faith
of
Christ
once
received
,
into
error
,
ought
thus
in
the
first
place
to
be
dealt
withal
,
by
the
Way
of
Admonishing
,
Instructing
,
Warning
and
Reproving
,
that
there
may
be
a
Returning
and
Repentance
towards
the
Lord
,
and
his
Truth
again
,
from
whence
they
have
erred
;
and
if
such
shall
not
receive
the
Instructions
,
Reproofs
and
Admonitions
of
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
then
such
Hereticks
shall
be
rejected
and
cast
out
,
according
to
Titus
the
3.

,
11.
saith
the
Apostle
,
A
man
that
is
an
Heretick
,
after
the
first
and
second
Admonition
,
reject
,
knowing
that
he
that
is
such
,
is
subverted
,
and
sinneth
,
being
condemned
of
himself
;
here
is
the
Description
of
the
punishing
of
an
Heretick
;
if
he
will
not
receive
Admonition
,
after
being
given
him
again
,
and
again
,
but
doth
harden
his
heart
against
the
Church
,
and
against
the
truth
of
Christ
,
and
will
not
repent
,
but
persicts
in
his
errors
and
heresies
,
and
that
after
reproof
and
admonition
,
then
he
is
to
be
rejected
;
rejected
,
what
is
that
?
but
a
casting
out
from
the
unity
of
Saints
,
a
departing
and
absenting
from
such
an
one
,
and
a
depriving
of
him
of
the
peace
and
comfort
,
joy
and
felicity
of
the
Assembly
of
God's
People
and
Servants
;
a
turnning
from
such
in
Converse
and
Fellowship
,
and
a
separating
from
them
,
and
judging
them
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
;
and
this
is
rejecting
an
Heretick
,
and
delivering
him
to
Satan
,
according
to
1
Cor.
5.

,

,

When
the
Church
(
The
Saints
)
were
met
together
,
with
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
Power
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
such
a
one
as
had
erred
from
the
Truth
,
and
sinned
against
it
,
and
was
truely
an
Heretick
,
should
be
delivered
unto
Satan
,
for
the
destruction
of
the
Flesh
,
that
the
Spirit
might
be
saved
;
Delivering
unto
Satan
,
what
is
that
?
but
to
let
him
be
cast
out
into
the
wicked
World
,
reputing
him
as
such
an
one
,
and
that
he
partake
not
of
the
sweet
,
heavenly
and
blessed
Union
and
Fellowship
of
Saints
in
their
Assemblios
and
converse
with
the
God
of
Heaven
,
in
his
Spirit
and
Life
;
not
to
be
numbred
among
the
righteous
,
nor
a
partaker
with
them
in
the
holy
Union
of
the
Elect
;
to
pass
judgment
upon
him
eternally
,
in
the
estate
he
is
now
in
,
having
both
erred
from
the
Truth
and
rejected
and
despised
the
reproofs
and
Admonitions
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
and
as
such
to
give
him
up
to
Satan
,
to
give
him
up
to
that
Spirit
that
hath
led
him
aside
from
the
Truth
,
and
hardned
his
heart
against
it
;
to
deliver
him
up
to
it
,
seeing
he
refuseth
to
be
reclaimed
from
it
,
and
hath
chosen
to
follow
it
rather
then
the
Truth
,
let
him
be
left
unto
,
delivered
up
unto
that
Spirit
,
even
unto
Satan
in
the
wicked
World
,
let
him
be
cast
out
thither
among
the
unclean
;
and
not
reckoned
among
the
record
and
line
of
the
faithful
People
;
and
separated
from
,
and
cast
out
so
,
as
he
expresseth
it
,

If
any
man
that
is
called
a
Brother
be
a
Fornicator
,
or
Covetous
,
a
Railer
,
a
Drunkard
,
&c.
with
such
a
one
not
to
accompany
,
no
not
to
eat
:
and
this
is
to
deliver
a
Heritick
to
Satan
,
for
the
destruction
of
the
Flesh
,
and
is
the
proper
punishment
of
Heresies
and
Hereticks
,
according
to
the
Apostles
Advice
and
Precept
;
but
not
to
kill
or
punish
the
persons
of
men
by
corporal
Afflictions
and
Penalties
on
the
Bodies
and
Estates
,
for
their
Error
sake
,
this
the
Apostle
gave
no
Commission
for
;
but
that
such
as
erred
from
the
Truth
,
and
walked
contrary
in
Principle
or
Practice
,
should
be
rejected
,
and
delivered
up
unto
Satan

in
the
way
and
manner
before
declared

it
is
signified
by
Jesus
Christ
to
the
self-same
purpose
,
in
these
words
,
If
thy
Brother
trespass
,
go
and
tell
him
alone
;
if
he
repent
,
forgive
him
;
if
not
,
take
one
or
two
,
or
more
with
thee
,
and
tell
him
again
:
if
〈◊〉
still
neglect
to
hear
,
tell
it
to
the
Church
;
but
if
he
neglect
to
hear
the
Church
,
let
such
a
one
be
unto
thee
(
as
hath
offended
and
rejected
Reproof
and
Admonition
again
and
again
)
as
an
Heathen
man
and
Publican
:
In
which
words
of
Christ
is
truely
signified
the
right
and
proper
way
of
proceeding
towards
Hereticks
and
Offenders
,
even
that
they
be
first
again
and
again
admonished
and
reproved
;
and
if
they
resist
the
same
,
then
to
be
cast
out
,
separated
from
,
and
not
enjoy
the
union
and
comfort
of
the
Saints
amongst
them
,
but
as
an
Heathen
man
and
Publican
;
but
here
is
not
a
word
signified
of
laying
corporal
Punishments
,
&
Burning
or
Banishing
persons
for
their
Errors
sake
;
and
though
they
may
offend
,
no
proceedings
of
this
kind
are
authorised
by
Jesus
Christ
or
his
Apostles
in
their
day
,
but
in
another
way
and
manner
,
as
I
have
shewed
,
is
the
proper
way
ordained
of
God
to
deal
with
Hereticks
,
according
to
the
Testimony
of
holy
Scriptures
,
signified
by
Christ
and
his
Apostles
in
the
Primitive
Churches
.

This
is
Punishment
according
to
the
nature
of
the
Offence
;
for
as
the
Offence
is
Spiritual
,
erring
in
the
mind
from
the
Truth
,
and
a
going
astray
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
a
man
's
own
particular
;
so
the
Punishment
is
answerable
thereunto
,
even
to
be
separated
from
the
Truth
,
and
not
to
enjoy
the
Vertue
,
Peace
and
Comfort
of
it
,
nor
to
be
partakers
thereof
amongst
the
faithfull
People
:
And
this
is
truly
according
to
the
Iustice
of
God
,
whose
Wayes
are
just
and
equal
altogether
,
and
hath
appointed
just
Rewards
for
Transgressors
,
according
to
the
nature
and
merit
of
the
Fact
and
Deed
that
is
evil
;
and
't
is
righteous
and
just
,
that
men
that
sin
against
their
own
Souls
,
should
be
deprived
of
the
Peace
and
Comfort
thereof
;
that
all
that
do
depart
from
the
Truth
once
known
,
and
sin
against
the
knowledge
thereof
,
●hould
be
no
more
a
partaker
of
the
Vertue
and
Felicity
of
the
same
;
and
that
they
who
offend
the
Lord's
People
,
and
revolt
from
the
union
thereof
,
should
be
cast
out
from
them
,
rejected
of
them
,
and
not
enjoy
the
Blessings
and
Peace
with
them
;
even
that
all
they
that
will
not
hear
the
Repooofs
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
nor
be
drawn
with
the
gentle
movings
thereof
,
should
be
judged
and
condemned
with
the
same
,
and
not
inherit
the
Assurance
of
the
Saints
:
And
this
is
God's
Iustice
,
That
all
that
love
Evil
,
and
walk
in
Iniquity
,
and
despise
the
Lord
,
should
be
cast
out
into
the
sinfull
World
,
to
have
their
Portion
with
the
Ungodly
,
and
all
the
Workers
of
Iniquity
;
and
this
is
just
Punishment
according
to
the
nature
of
the
Offence
of
Error
aad
Heresie
:
for
in
my
Iudgment
,
(
and
I
have
the
Spirit
of
just
Iudgment
in
this
Case
)
it
is
great
Punishment
,
and
sufficient
for
a
man
that
hath
once
tasted
of
the
Vertue
of
God's
Presence
among
his
People
,
to
be
cast
out
from
the
Feeling
and
Enjoyment
of
that
Life
,
Vertue
and
Assembly
where
it
is
enjoyed
;
this
is
Punishment
,
and
a
Wound
to
the
Soul
and
Conscience
,
for
a
Person
that
hath
been
turned
from
Iniquity
,
and
witnessed
the
Peace
of
Christ
in
the
Church
,
to
be
left
in
Iniquity
,
and
to
witness
the
Wrath
and
Anger
of
God
daily
smiting
him
in
his
spirit
,
and
upon
his
heart
;
this
is
indeed
great
Punishment
:
And
to
have
the
holy
Spirit
of
Christ
in
his
People
(
now
)
to
judge
and
condemn
him
,
whom
sometimes
it
hath
comforted
and
refreshed
;
and
to
be
dis-united
and
separated
from
that
Spirit
and
Power
amongst
the
Saints
,
which
once
gave
Life
and
Joy
amongst
them
:
This
man
thus
judged
and
condemned
by
,
and
thus
separated
and
dis-united
from
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
Christ
,
and
his
People
,
is
punished
and
afflicted
sufficiently
for
his
Error
and
Heresie
;
even
in
his
Conscience
,
Soul
and
Spirit
he
is
wounded
,
grieved
,
pierced
,
vexed
and
punished
,
though
yet
his
outward-man
,
and
his
person
be
not
corporally
afflicted
by
Punishments
;
but
he
is
afflicted
within
,
he
is
dealt
withal
by
the
Anger
of
God
in
his
Conscience
,
he
is
separated
into
Darkness
,
and
from
the
Light
and
Glory
of
God
in
the
Assemblies
of
his
People
;
he
is
at
a
distance
from
the
Lord
God
,
and
the
Spirit
which
should
comfort
him
,
doth
daily
vex
and
judge
him
;
and
the
people
among
whom
he
should
be
saved
,
he
is
separated
from
,
and
cast
out
to
Satan
;
is
now
among
the
Sons
of
Belial
,
the
Children
of
Wickedness
and
Ignorance
that
must
be
condemned
:
And
this
man
is
now
rejected
of
the
Saints
,
that
once
was
embraced
of
them
,
and
thus
he
is
punished
;
for
it
is
the
greatest
Punishment
and
Vexation
for
a
man
that
hath
once
tasted
of
God's
Love
,
Mercy
,
Peace
and
Blessings
,
amongst
God's
People
,
and
to
be
forsaken
of
God
,
and
without
his
Love
,
in
his
Anger
,
in
his
Judgment
,
and
in
the
Curse
,
amongst
the
Wicked
,
without
Peace
and
Blessings
amongst
the
Saints
,
this
is
Punishment
indeed
,
from
which
the
Lord
deliver
all
his
People
that
fear
him
.
Yet
notwithstanding
this
kind
and
manner
of
Punishment
pertains
to
Hereticks
as
such
,
most
properly
,
and
not
to
be
destroyed
in
Person
or
Estate
by
outward
Penalties
;
this
I
onely
mean
and
intend
,
where
the
Error
of
a
man
,
and
his
Heresie
in
his
Mind
and
Judgment
doth
only
extend
to
the
hurt
of
his
own
Soul
,
and
against
God
,
and
not
to
the
harm
of
his
Neigbours
Person
or
Estate
;
in
that
Case
he
ought
only
to
suffer
as
before-mentioned
,
To
be
delivered
up
to
Satan
,
and
to
be
rejected
,
&c.
But
if
his
Error
and
Heresie
do
extend
further
then
onely
against
God
,
and
his
own
Soul
,
even
to
the
wronging
,
injuring
and
defrauding
of
his
neighbours
person
and
estate
,
and
outward
wrongs
,
or
evils
,
or
violence
,
or
visible
mischiefs
be
committed
,
as
Murders
,
or
other
the
like
visible
crimes
against
men
,
to
the
injuring
of
others
,
then
I
forbid
not
outward
external
punishments
to
be
corporally
inflicted
upon
the
person
and
estate
of
such
a
man
;
but
it
ought
to
be
done
,
and
that
by
Laws
of
men
,
provided
for
the
same
end
;
even
such
a
mans
Error
in
such
his
wrong
dealing
,
may
justly
and
lawfully
be
punished
with
death
banishment
,
or
penalties
,
according
to
the
desert
of
the
crime
,
if
his
sin
and
error
be
against
men
,
let
men
deal
with
him
,
and
punish
him
accordingly
:
If
his
offence
and
error
be
onely
against
God
,
and
his
own
soul
,
let
God
deal
with
him
,
and
punish
him
by
his
wrath
in
his
Conscience
,
which
one
day
will
be
executed
upon
all
that
err
from
the
Truth
,
and
tribulation
and
anguish
shall
be
upon
his
soul
that
doth
evil
,
as
it
is
written
:
But
it
is
utterly
unlawful
,
and
sin
against
God
,
for
men
to
kill
,
burn
,
or
banish
men
for
the
error
of
their
minds
and
judgments
in
Spiritual
matters
,
while
they
do
walk
justly
and
truly
(
as
men
)
in
the
things
pertaining
to
men
,
and
are
not
injurious
to
the
Persons
or
Estates
of
any
,
by
reason
of
such
their
Error
,
but
they
only
sin
and
err
against
God
,
and
their
own
Souls
,
to
the
hurt
thereof
,
and
not
man
by
any
outward
Punishments
or
Violence
executed
upon
their
Persons
,
but
God
and
his
People
in
the
way
and
manner
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
as
afore
declared
,
ought
for
such
their
Errors
and
Heresies
to
deal
with
them
,
and
proceed
towards
them
in
respect
of
Punishment
for
the
same
.
Lastly
,
These
things
are
but
said
in
general
concerning
Error
and
Heresie
,
how
they
are
to
be
judged
and
Punished
,
and
by
whom
,
and
to
manifest
that
there
is
Error
and
Heresie
,
Hereticks
and
Erroneous
Persons
in
the
World
;
for
(
as
I
have
said
before
)
it
was
not
now
my
work
to
ennumerate
the
particular
parts
of
Errors
and
Heresies
,
that
are
held
in
Principle
,
Doctrine
and
Practice
,
in
the
World
at
this
day
,
they
are
so
many
and
large
;
but
yet
more
particularly
,
thus
I
would
in
brief
define
Hereticks
and
Heresie
:
That
man
(
whatsoever
he
be
)
is
in
Error
in
all
parts
of
his
Principles
,
and
practises
,
held
and
maintained
by
him
in
point
of
Religion
and
Worship
of
God
,
especially
that
is
not
Perswaded
of
the
Truth
and
verity
of
his
Way
by
the
holy
Spirit
of
God
,
and
led
,
guided
,
and
taught
in
the
performance
and
practice
thereof
,
by
the
same
Spirit
of
Jesus
;
if
the
holy
Spirit
of
God
dwell
not
in
him
,
and
doth
not
preswade
the
heart
in
the
belief
of
the
Truth
,
and
teach
and
lead
the
man
in
the
practice
of
it
;
such
a
man
,
even
that
man
Errs
,
and
is
in
Error
in
all
what
he
is
,
and
what
he
doth
,
in
point
of
Religion
and
Duty
to
God-wards
,
and
that
because
the
Spirit
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
is
not
the
only
Leader
and
Teacher
in
the
things
professed
and
practised
,
but
either
Traditions
,
Example
of
others
,
or
Custom
of
Places
and
Times
,
or
something
else
besides
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
only
perswades
into
the
belief
of
Truth
,
and
teaches
into
the
performance
of
the
same
,
and
thus
is
distinguished
and
known
:
A
man
that
is
Erroneous
in
his
Faith
and
Practice
,
not
taught
and
perswaded
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
in
what
he
is
,
and
in
what
he
doth
,
he
is
in
Error
,
and
in
a
degree
of
Heresie
,
erring
in
Mind
,
and
Judgment
and
Conscience
,
in
Principle
and
practice
,
and
subject
to
err
in
all
things
:
Now
as
for
the
Case
of
Error
and
Heresie
,
as
the
matter
hath
stood
(
in
distinguishing
of
Hereticks
and
Heresies
,
in
judging
of
the
same
,
and
in
proceeding
with
Hereticks
in
the
manner
aforesaid
)
for
many
Generations
in
the
Apostacy
,
since
the
Apostles
dayes
,
all
this
hath
been
wrong
,
and
not
in
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
Christ
Jesus
,
but
Men
,
Cases
and
Proceedings
all
have
been
perverted
from
Truth
in
that
matter
,
because
the
spirit
of
darkness
and
ignorance
hath
ruled
(
and
not
the
Spirit
of
God
)
in
the
Hearts
of
men
;
and
the
spirit
that
is
not
of
the
Father
(
which
Spirit
of
the
Father
is
only
pure
,
perfect
and
infallible
,
because
it
is
of
God
,
and
can
truly
judge
and
determine
in
these
Cases
)
has
been
Lord
and
Judge
in
this
matter
;
and
men
out
of
their
Envy
and
Hatred
one
towards
another
,
have
judg'd
one
another
to
be
erronious
and
Hereticks
,
and
proceeded
against
them
thereupon
;
and
such
as
have
differ'd
in
Iudgment
or
Opinion
,
one
Sect
and
Sort
from
another
,
and
would
not
conform
to
one
another
in
their
Wayes
,
Practices
and
Religion
;
it
hath
been
common
for
all
different
sorts
of
men
to
cry
out
one
upon
another
,
and
against
each
other
,
Heresie
,
Heresie
,
Hereticks
,
Erronious
Persons
,
and
the
like
;
and
proceeded
against
one
another
,
men
against
men
differing
from
them
,
and
sect
against
sect
contrary
to
it self
,
and
especially
that
sect
or
sort
of
People
that
hath
had
the
Government
of
Nations
and
Countries
in
their
Power
,
could
,
and
hath
easily
proceeded
against
all
others
dissenting
,
upon
the
account
of
Error
,
to
the
destroying
of
many
,
absolutely
through
envy
,
hatred
and
prejudice
,
and
not
upon
the
Truth
,
Soundness
and
Verity
of
Judgment
in
that
matter
;
and
this
hath
been
common
for
many
Ages
;
Sometimes
(
according
to
the
occasion
offered
)
Papists
have
destroyed
Protestants
,
and
sometimes
Protestants
have
destroyed
the
Papists
on
this
account
of
Heresie
and
Error
:
All
which
proceedings
have
been
in
the
Enmity
and
Ignorance
,
and
not
in
the
Power
and
Life
of
Jesus
;
whereby
it
hath
come
to
pass
,
that
many
men
hath
been
destroyed
for
the
cause
,
of
which
they
have
been
more
innocent
then
they
that
have
destroyed
them
:
And
thus
by
false
Judgment
and
cruel
proceedings
in
the
matter
of
Heresie
and
Error
,
many
have
been
destroyed
unjustly
,
and
the
World
filled
with
Enmity
about
difference
in
Religious
matters
,
and
with
Murders
and
Cruelties
,
upon
the
false
Judgments
of
men
about
Heresie
;
and
this
is
weighty
,
to
be
truly
considered
,
a
Case
to
be
lamented
and
grieved
for
,
by
the
Righteous
:
Oh!
what
strife
(
in
the
Christian
World
)
hath
been
for
Ages
on
this
occasion
,
each
sort
of
People
exclaiming
against
,
and
persecuting
others
as
Hereticks
and
seditious
persons
,
onely
for
difference
in
Judgment
in
Spiritual
Cases
,
and
each
particular
person
(
almost
)
raging
with
fury
,
and
intending
his
Neighbours
destruction
,
and
onely
for
being
contrary-minded
in
point
of
Doctrine
and
Worship
.
Oh!
the
view
of
these
things
,
and
woful
effects
produced
in
the
World
for
Ages
in
these
occasions
,
makes
my
heart
grieve
,
because
of
the
destructions
of
men
,
yea
,
of
the
destruction
of
many
upon
wrongful
judgments
and
proceedings
on
these
occasions
:
I
am
troubled
,
I
am
troubled
;
and
ever
since
I
have
known
the
Right
hand
from
the
Left
(
in
God's
matters
)
my
Soul
often
in
the
deep
search
of
these
things
hath
cryed
out
,
How
woful
are
they
!
And
when
shall
it
once
be
,
that
these
things
shall
be
no
more
in
the
World
,
but
that
every
man
may
sit
at
rest
and
quiet
with
his
God
in
the
Way
,
Faith
and
Practises
of
Righteousness
,
as
his
heart
is
perswaded
of
,
and
not
be
tossed
with
false
Judgments
,
cruel
Afflictions
,
and
hard
dealing
,
because
of
his
Judgment
and
Conscience
in
the
belief
and
Knowledge
of
Heavenly
Matters
?
Thus
hath
my
Spirit
been
framed
with
zeal
against
these
things
;
this
imposing
of
Religion
by
force
,
these
procedings
of
killing
and
destroying
men
upon
the
account
of
Heresie
;
these
things
my
soul
hath
loathed
,
and
I
am
weary
of
them
,
and
my
zeal
is
kindled
against
them
:
Oh
I
when
will
the
Rulers
of
this
World
learn
Wisdom
,
and
forsake
false
Judgment
and
Oppression
!
And
when
will
it
be
that
they
will
onely
rule
and
judge
for
the
Lord
in
their
state
and
compass
of
Worldly
affairs
between
man
and
man
,
in
the
matters
of
outward
wrongs
and
injuries
!
And
when
will
they
leave
it
to
the
Lord
to
be
Judge
,
King
and
Ruler
only
,
in
all
the
Cases
of
his
spiritual
Kingdom
!
Then
should
it
be
happy
and
blessed
unto
men
,
unto
Kings
,
and
their
Subjects
,
to
Rulers
and
their
People
,
and
to
all
sorts
of
Persons
,
if
Judgment
were
onely
ascribed
unto
God
,
that
he
only
might
judge
and
determine
of
these
Cases
,
and
punish
men
according
to
the
desert
of
their
Offences
of
Error
;
then
should
it
be
well
with
them
:
But
in
the
mean
time
,
whilst
men
are
judged
and
supposed
to
be
Herericks
,
and
thereupon
sentenced
to
Death
,
Banishment
,
or
corporal
Punishment
for
their
(
supposed
)
Errors
sake
in
matters
of
Iudgment
and
Conscience
:
Tribulation
,
Misery
,
Distractions
,
and
wofull
Consequence
will
follow
upon
that
work
,
to
Kings
,
Rulers
and
People
,
in
every
Nation
and
Countrey
,
and
no
Peace
,
true
Comfort
nor
Happiness
,
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
men
.
And
this
is
the
Judgment
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
him
who
hath
obtained
favour
from
God
,
to
receive
Knowledge
and
Understanding
in
these
matters
.
He
that
can
receive
this
,
let

CHAP.
III.
Concerning
Antichrist
and
his
Mystery
of
Deceiveableness
;
What
he
is
in
himself
,
and
how
he
appears
in
the
World
;
what
his
Works
are
,
and
What
his
Government
is
,
and
where
it
is
,
and
who
are
the
Subjects
of
his
Kingdom
.
1.
THese
things
are
great
Mysteries
;
and
though
in
the
World
they
are
very
much
abounding
,
and
extant
throughout
all
Nations
,
yet
for
the
most
part
unknown
unto
the
World
,
and
not
discovered
among
the
sons
of
men
,
but
secretly
hidden
,
and
veiled
under
false
covers
,
and
in
much
deceivableness
dwelling
and
working
upon
Earth
,
in
the
deep
Mysteries
of
Iniquity
,
to
the
deceiving
of
multitudes
of
People
,
who
are
indeed
of
Antichrist
,
among
whom
he
dwells
,
appears
,
rules
,
reigns
,
and
hath
his
Authority
and
Government
,
and
yet
they
know
it
not
,
nor
do
they
discern
him
in
his
Wayes
and
Works
,
though
they
are
under
his
Power
,
and
subjects
of
his
Kingdom
;
such
indeed
is
the
Mystery
of
Antichrist
,
his
hidden
,
false
covered
pathes
,
in
which
he
works
,
and
walks
amongst
the
Sons
of
men
in
the
World
,
that
he
easily
beguiles
and
betrays
men
,
and
deceiveth
them
unto
perdition
,
while
yet
they
know
not
that
they
are
beguiled
and
deceived
,
but
think
they
are
altogether
well
,
and
do
well
,
and
are
in
the
way
of
Salvation
,
being
led
of
that
wicked
one
,
and
blinded
by
him
,
and
are
bewitched
into
the
false
faith
,
and
deceivable
pretence
of
goodness
,
righteousness
,
holiness
and
sanctity
,
as
if
they
were
indeed
Members
of
the
true
Church
,
and
Saints
of
the
Most
High
,
and
had
a
right
to
Eternal
Life
,
and
were
the
very
Sons
and
Servants
of
the
Almighty
,
wher
indeed
and
in
Truth
they
are
yet
in
the
estate
of
Enmity
against
God
,
in
the
Degeneration
and
Bondage
of
Corruption
,
unconverted
,
and
unsanctified
,
and
Sinners
and
Ungodly
,
the
very
Children
of
the
Devil
,
and
Servants
of
unrighteousness
,
and
have
no
assurance
nor
right
unto
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
to
rest
in
his
Peace
and
Glory
:
Such
(
I
say
)
is
the
working
of
Antichrist
,
that
he
appears
to
be
in
the
World
,
contrary
to
what
he
truly
is
in
his
own
beeing
and
nature
,
and
deceives
men
and
People
into
the
apprehensions
and
conceits
of
what
they
are
not
,
even
contrary
to
what
they
are
in
their
present
State
and
Standing
;
even
so
deep
and
Mysterious
is
Antichrist
in
himself
,
and
in
his
working
among
the
Children
of
men
.
2.
That
there
is
such
a
Man
or
Spirit
in
the
World
as
Antichrist
,
this
is
not
doubtfull
,
but
confessed
by
all
,
and
proved
by
the
Scriptures
;
for
the
Apostle
wrot
to
the
Church
,
They
had
heard
that
Antichrist
should
come
,
and
even
now
(
saith
he
)
are
there
many
Antichrists
come
into
the
World
,
1
John
2.
18.
and
also
2
John
verse
7.
saith
he
,
For
many
Deceivers
are
entred
into
the
World
,
and
this
is
a
Deceiver
,
and
an
Antichrist
,
&c.
and
2
Thes.
2.
the
Apostle
speaks
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
and
of
the
Son
of
Perdition
,
that
should
be
revealed
in
the
World
,
and
should
exalt
himself
above
all
that
is
called
God
:
These
with
many
other
Scriptures
,
do
prove
that
there
is
such
a
thing
in
the
World
,
already
come
into
the
World
,
and
now
dwelling
and
walking
in
the
World
as
Antichrist
,
Man
of
Sin
,
and
Son
of
Perdition
;
and
as
I
said
,
't
is
confessed
by
all
that
there
is
an
Antichrist
,
such
a
Man
,
or
Spirit
now
extant
in
the
World
;
though
there
are
great
Debates
and
Contentions
amongst
many
called
Christians
,
what
this
Antichrist
is
,
and
who
he
is
,
some
holding
one
thing
,
and
some
another
about
him
,
and
also
there
is
much
Difference
amongst
men
concerning
this
Matter
;
and
't
is
the
general
way
of
People
,
one
sort
to
accuse
another
,
that
are
different
from
them
in
Profession
and
Religion
,
That
ye
and
ye
are
of
Antichrist
;
but
this
hath
been
for
the
most
part
in
Enmity
,
and
in
the
Spirit
of
Wrath
and
Contention
,
and
is
not
from
true
Judgment
and
Knowledge
:
now
therefore
it
remains
to
be
made
manifest
,
according
to
the
Gift
of
Grace
,
Knowledge
and
Understanding
,
what
Antichrist
is
in
himself
,
and
how
he
appears
in
the
World
;
seeing
we
have
proved
,
That
there
is
such
a
thing
as
Antichrist
now
Ruling
and
Raigning
somewhere
amongst
men
,
throughout
the
Nations
of
the
Earth
.
3.
Antichrist
is
not
(
as
some
suppose
)
a
particular
visible
Person
upon
Earth
,
Distinct
and
Divided
from
all
other
Persons
,
as
if
none
besides
such
an
one
were
Antichrist
;
but
Antichrist
is
rather
an
Invisible
Spirit
,
a
spirit
,
I
say
,
dwelling
in
Persons
,
even
in
many
Persons
throughout
the
World
,
which
makes
them
all
of
Antichrist
,
or
to
be
many
Antichrists
,
according
to
1
Iohn
2.
18.
There
are
many
Antichrists
(
saith
Iohn
)
whereby
we
know
it
is
the
Last
Time
:
So
that
it
is
plain
,
There
are
in
the
World
many
Antichrists
,
many
Men
of
Sin
,
or
many
Sinful
Men
,
many
Sons
of
Perdition
and
Ungodliness
;
not
onely
one
man
that
is
such
,
but
many
men
in
the
World
,
even
all
such
in
whom
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
or
Antichrist
that
spirit
dwells
and
walks
,
they
are
all
Antichrists
,
or
of
Antichrist
,
because
of
that
spirit
of
Antichrist
which
doth
possess
them
,
and
rule
them
in
the
Wayes
of
Sin
and
Death
,
in
Idolatry
and
false
Wayes
,
and
in
opposition
to
and
against
Christ
Jesus
the
Lord
of
Life
;
even
all
the
Deceivers
in
the
World
,
all
that
are
erred
from
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
CHRIST
,
and
are
not
of
the
true
Church
,
Gathered
into
his
Name
and
Power
,
but
bringeth
another
Doctrine
than
that
of
Christ
and
his
Saints
,
and
truly
confesseth
not
in
Word
and
Practice
unto
JESUS
come
in
the
Flesh
;
all
such
are
Antichrists
,
and
of
Antichrist
,
according
to
2
Iohn
7.
even
all
the
Apostates
,
who
profess
Christ
,
and
his
Truth
,
and
his
Church
,
and
are
not
in
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
Christ
,
but
in
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
without
the
Power
,
professing
God
in
Words
,
but
in
Works
denying
him
,
all
such
are
Antichrists
,
by
reason
of
that
spirit
of
Antichrist
which
dwells
in
them
,
and
into
which
spirit
they
are
leavened
and
moulded
,
and
are
one
with
it
,
and
bring
forth
the
Fruits
of
it
in
the
World
;
and
therefore
they
are
Antichrists
,
more
than
one
,
even
many
Antichrists
,
as
I
have
said
.
4.
Antichrist
in
himself
is
the
Man
of
Sin
,
the
Son
of
Perdition
,
which
is
indeed
and
in
Truth
the
very
Devil
in
his
Nature
and
Kind
,
and
in
his
Power
and
Spirit
,
and
of
him
;
and
yet
not
divided
,
nor
distinct
from
him
,
but
is
him
(
to
wit
,
the
DEVIL
)
as
he
is
in
himself
:
And
he
is
against
Christ
,
and
wholy
contrary
to
Christ
,
and
bringeth
forth
Fruits
and
Works
to
the
Dishonour
of
Christ
,
and
opposeth
Christ
,
and
is
in
all
things
of
a
contrary
Nature
and
Quality
to
Jesus
Christ
.
And
he
is
called
Antichrist
,
to
wit
,
before
,
or
against
,
and
contrary
to
Christ
.
And
this
is
Antichrist
in
himself
,
An
Adversary
to
God
,
an
Enemy
to
all
Righteousness
,
a
Perverter
of
the
Wayes
of
God
,
a
Hater
of
all
Good
,
a
Despiser
and
Persecutor
of
God's
People
;
and
indeed
a
certain
Spirit
and
Power
Distinct
,
Divided
,
and
Separated
from
the
Living
God
,
and
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
;
and
contrary
in
Nature
and
Quality
,
in
Fruits
and
Effects
:
And
there
is
no
Fellowship
in
any
thing
between
Christ
and
Antichrist
;
but
they
are
divided
and
separated
one
from
the
other
,
contrary
and
opposite
one
to
the
other
in
all
their
Wayes
and
Works
,
and
in
their
Kinds
and
Natures
:
For
,
as
I
have
said
,
Antichrist
in
himself
,
in
his
nature
and
kind
,
is
the
Devil
,
and
no
other
;
he
is
the
Man
of
Sin
,
the
Sinful
Man
,
that
conceiveth
and
worketh
all
Evil
,
the
Son
of
Perdition
,
the
Son
that
is
lost
from
God
,
and
Reprobate
forever
;
he
that
is
fallen
,
diverted
and
cast
out
from
the
Presence
,
Glory
and
Power
of
the
Creator
;
he
that
is
sealed
unto
Vengeance
in
the
Wrath
and
Enmity
against
God
and
Christ
Jesus
,
as
being
contrary
irreconcilably
to
the
Nature
and
Works
of
Christ
.
This
is
said
of
Antichrist
,
as
what
he
is
in
himself
,
as
that
particular
spirit
,
and
not
of
the
many
Antichrists
,
which
are
only
Vessels
retaining
this
one
spirit
,
and
Members
of
him
,
through
his
Power
dwelling
in
them
,
and
by
which
they
are
one
with
this
spirit
,
and
one
in
Action
,
and
bring
forth
the
Works
and
Fruits
of
it
:
For
't
is
possible
,
some
that
are
such
in
their
present
standing
,
even
under
the
power
of
Antichrist
,
may
be
converted
and
turned
from
him
,
and
changed
into
another
Nature
,
and
so
saved
:
But
as
for
the
Antichrist
in
himself
,
as
such
,
he
is
the
Devil
,
and
sealed
up
in
the
Anger
of
God
,
never
to
be
redeemed
,
nor
saved
,
nor
changed
into
another
Nature
.
5.
Though
Antichrist
in
himself
be
the
Devil
,
yet
his
Appearances
in
the
World
are
divers
and
many
;
and
he
appears
in
outward
and
visible
Actions
amongst
men
diversly
;
somtimes
he
appears
in
the
way
and
form
of
open
Prophaneness
,
by
the
Works
of
Men
,
in
all
manner
of
Unrighteousness
and
Iniquity
;
for
all
Sin
,
of
what
kind
soever
,
in
every
appearance
of
it
,
is
of
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
,
even
all
prophane
Wayes
and
Works
of
Evil
Men
;
Lying
,
Drunkenness
,
Whoredom
,
Double-dealing
,
Envy
,
Malice
,
and
every
Evil
Work
and
Word
brought
forth
by
the
Sons
of
Adam
in
the
Fall
,
are
all
of
Antichrist
and
the
Devil
,
and
is
his
visible
Appearance
in
the
World
;
though
sometimes
his
Appearance
is
in
another
way
and
manner
,
even
in
a
way
of
seeming
Righteousness
and
Holiness
,
and
in
the
Profession
of
Christ
and
Christianity
,
and
pretence
of
Faith
towards
God
,
and
Worship
of
God
,
and
crying
up
Church
and
Fellowship
in
the
same
,
and
Forms
of
Godliness
;
as
if
Antichrist
were
a
Saint
and
Servant
of
God
:
thus
,
and
after
this
manner
doth
Antichrist
appear
in
the
World
amongst
men
now
in
these
latter
dayes
,
since
the
Apostles
time
,
in
the
Apostacy
of
Christianity
.
Antichrist
(
I
say
)
though
the
Devil
in
himself
,
yet
hath
he
often
appeared
as
a
Saint
upon
Earth
,
in
the
pretence
of
Holiness
,
Righteousness
,
Worship
and
Religion
;
such
hath
been
his
Policy
and
Deceivableness
,
that
he
hath
put
on
the
Appearance
of
Gospel
,
Doctrine
,
Ministry
and
Ordinances
,
and
covered
himself
thereby
,
that
he
might
the
better
beguile
,
entangle
,
and
deceive
Mankind
in
the
Form
and
Profession
of
a
Saint
,
and
Member
of
the
true
Church
;
he
hath
put
on
the
Sheep's-Clothing
,
hath
made
use
of
the
Saints
words
and
Practices
,
and
hath
exalted
himself
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
as
if
he
were
God
,
shewing
himself
to
be
God
,
and
hath
been
lifted
up
above
all
that
is
called
God
,
according
to
2
Thes.
2.
4.
and
Christ
himself
said
to
his
Disciples
,
That
there
should
arise
false
Christs
,
and
false
Prophets
,
and
should
shew
Signs
and
Wonders
,
if
it
were
possible
to
deceive
the
very
Elect
,
Mat.
24.
24
,
which
doth
signifie
,
that
the
Antichrists
and
false
Prophets
should
come
into
the
World
after
his
Prophecy
,
which
are
already
come
since
that
time
:
They
should
pretend
to
be
Christs
,
and
should
shew
Signs
,
and
should
deceive
many
with
the
Profession
of
Christ
,
and
Signs
of
Godliness
;
and
they
should
have
upon
them
and
be
covered
with
Sheep's-Clothing
,
that
is
,
with
the
Saints
words
and
practices
in
outward
appearance
;
but
inwardly
,
that
is
,
in
their
own
proper
Nature
,
Fruits
and
Works
,
should
be
ravening
Wolves
;
that
is
,
Destroyers
of
the
Flock
,
Mat.
7.
15.
and
the
Antichrists
which
Iohn
speaks
(
1
Iohn
2.
19.
)
they
were
such
as
went
from
the
Saints
that
were
in
the
Power
of
Godliness
,
they
went
out
of
the
true
Church
,
and
carried
with
them
the
Form
of
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
and
the
Profession
of
Christianity
,
but
without
the
Power
,
and
had
lost
it
,
and
were
departed
from
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
Spirit
of
Antichrist
had
possessed
them
,
and
now
led
them
and
ruled
them
,
and
they
were
Antichrists
(
to
wit
)
against
him
,
and
contrary
to
him
:
And
these
were
the
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
that
went
out
into
the
World
,
and
deceived
it
,
and
led
many
aside
into
Error
,
and
many
followed
their
pernitious
and
hurtful
wayes
,
as
Peter
saith
,
2
Pet.
2.
2
,
3.
And
Paul
speaks
of
such
as
had
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
denyed
the
Power
;
and
in
Words
professed
God
,
but
in
Works
denyed
him
:
Such
were
the
Antichrists
and
Deceivers
in
the
Apostles
dayes
,
and
such
they
are
this
day
in
the
World
;
whereby
it
is
manifest
that
Antichrist
often
appears
in
the
World
as
a
Saint
,
as
a
Righteous
one
;
and
the
many
Antichrists
they
have
gotten
the
Form
and
Appearance
of
Church
,
Ministry
,
Worship
and
Ordinances
;
and
thus
they
appear
deceiving
the
World
,
and
them
that
dwell
therein
,
with
the
Appearance
and
Vain-shew
of
Faith
,
Worship
and
Religion
,
without
the
Power
of
Godliness
;
for
unto
that
Antichrist
is
an
Enemy
,
even
a
Destroyer
,
a
Persecutor
,
and
Gainsayer
of
Christ
and
his
Works
,
and
the
Power
of
Godliness
and
true
Faith
brought
forth
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
though
to
deceive
the
World
he
can
transform
himself
into
,
and
appear
as
an
Angel
of
Light
.
6.
Again
,
So
Deceivable
and
Mysterious
is
,
and
hath
the
Appearance
and
Working
of
Antichrist
been
in
the
World
,
that
he
hath
not
alwayes
dwelt
in
one
kind
of
Form
and
Profession
of
Religion
and
Righteousness
;
but
he
hath
dwelt
in
many
Appearances
,
and
removed
out
of
one
false
Form
into
another
,
according
to
his
Oportunity
and
Advantage
,
whereby
he
could
deceive
;
and
sometimes
dwelling
in
one
Form
,
with
pretence
of
Zeal
,
and
performance
of
Duty
to
God
,
he
hath
envyed
,
Persecuted
and
destroyed
many
others
in
other
Wayes
of
Profession
,
more
Zealous
,
Upright
and
Sincere
to
God
than
themselves
have
been
in
the
other
Form
;
and
by
the
colour
of
Zeal
and
Performance
of
Duty
hath
Antichrist
clothed
himself
in
his
Envies
,
Persecutions
and
Murders
of
others
,
as
if
he
did
not
persecute
nor
impose
upon
the
Conscience
of
any
,
nor
exercise
that
Rigour
(
or
Justice
,
as
he
hath
named
his
Proceedings
,
though
never
so
Cruel
and
Unjust
)
towards
any
,
upon
any
terms
or
account
of
Wrath
,
Bitterness
,
Envy
,
or
Cruelty
,
but
Zeal
,
Duty
,
and
Love
to
Religion
,
and
to
entinguish
Heresie
,
&c.
This
hath
been
the
Pretence
and
Cloak
of
Antichrist
in
his
cruel
and
hard
Dealing
with
many
men
that
have
differed
in
Principle
and
Practice
of
Religion
;
he
hath
often
shewed
himself
in
his
present
Form
of
Godliness
,
so
zealous
and
dutiful
for
the
truth
of
his
Way
(
though
never
so
Idolatrous
)
against
all
that
have
opposed
it
,
and
gainsayed
his
Form
and
Vain
Shew
,
that
he
hath
killed
,
slain
,
and
exercised
Cruelty
towards
all
that
have
been
contrary
or
different-minded
:
and
though
this
hath
been
brought
forth
by
Antichrist
,
as
he
is
the
Devil
in
himself
,
and
in
down-right
Envy
,
Malice
,
Persecution
and
Wickedness
;
yet
it
hath
been
acted
and
effected
under
the
Cloak
of
Zeal
,
Duty
,
and
Sincerity
,
and
out
of
Pretence
of
Love
to
Christ
and
his
Church
,
and
out
of
Pretence
of
Hatred
against
the
contrary
.
Thus
hath
Antichrist
(
though
the
Devil
,
that
Wicked
One
,
as
he
is
in
himself
,
in
his
own
Nature
,
Kind
and
proper
Sphear
)
appeared
in
the
World
as
a
Zealous
Church-Member
,
as
a
Saint
,
as
a
Promoter
of
Righteousness
,
and
a
Destroyer
of
the
contrary
:
With
these
false
Covers
hath
Antichrist
been
cloathed
and
hidden
from
men
,
and
appeared
to
be
in
his
Works
and
Transactions
,
as
a
Good
Man
,
as
a
Lover
of
God
,
and
Hater
of
Iniquity
,
while
in
the
mean
time
he
hath
been
deceiving
Men
,
and
destroying
the
Innocent
,
and
leading
the
World
to
perpetual
Misery
and
Destruction
.
7.
Again
,
So
Deceivable
hath
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
been
in
the
World
,
that
he
hath
alwayes
put
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
the
Name
of
his
Church
,
and
the
Pretence
of
Duty
to
God
,
and
the
Name
of
Gospel
,
Doctrine
,
Ordinances
,
Ministry
and
Worship
upon
whatsoever
False
Way
,
Feigned
Worship
and
Deceitful
Profession
,
that
he
hath
gone
about
to
set
up
and
promote
in
the
World
among
men
:
I
say
,
Upon
the
Worst
and
most
Idolatrous
Wayes
of
Superstition
,
and
the
most
false
,
Feigned
Formal
Worship
that
ever
hath
been
in
the
World
,
Antichrist
hath
put
the
Name
of
Christ
,
his
Church
and
Worship
upon
them
;
and
Imposed
and
forced
the
Belief
and
Practice
of
much
false
Worship
,
false
Doctrine
and
formal
Wayes
,
under
the
Name
and
Title
of
the
true
Christ
,
his
Doctrine
and
Worship
;
and
upon
Pains
and
Penalties
hath
enjoyned
and
commanded
the
Belief
and
Practice
of
such
things
,
not
as
if
they
were
of
Antichrist
,
Superstitious
,
Evil
,
False
or
Feigned
;
but
as
if
they
were
of
Christ
altogether
,
and
must
be
believed
and
practiced
,
as
by
his
Name
,
and
under
his
Authority
:
Thus
hath
been
the
working
of
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
of
that
Man
of
Sin
,
the
Antichrist
;
all
the
Evil
Wayes
he
hath
conceived
and
brought
forth
in
the
World
;
all
the
Idolatrous
Worship
,
and
false
Faith
,
and
Doctrine
,
and
all
the
Cruelties
Murders
and
Unjust
Dealing
,
to
the
very
destroying
of
the
Saints
,
and
all
the
Unrighteousness
and
Deceivableness
exercised
by
Antichrist
in
the
World
,
hath
put
all
this
on
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
pretended
Christ
for
it
,
as
if
it
were
indeed
and
in
Truth
of
him
and
from
him
,
when
indeed
and
in
Truth
it
hath
been
contrary
to
the
true
Christ
,
and
tended
to
kill
and
destroy
him
:
Thus
hath
Antichrist
the
Devil
been
cloaked
with
false
Covers
and
deceitful
Pretences
in
his
working
among
men
;
that
wicked
spirit
hath
falsly
called
the
greatest
of
Pride
and
Ambition
,
Decency
and
true
Honour
;
Covetousness
and
Deceitful
Dealing
hath
he
stiled
,
Good
—
Husbandry
and
Prudent-Walking
;
and
the
most
Cruel
and
Unjust
Iudgment
,
the
Oppression
of
the
Poor
,
and
the
Grinding
of
the
Face
of
the
Innocent
,
hath
that
spirit
falsly
titled
Equal
Proceedings
,
Iustice
,
and
according
to
Law
,
and
the
like
:
Yea
,
and
the
Persecutions
and
Murders
that
ever
have
been
acted
against
the
Saints
of
God
in
all
Generations
,
though
Cruel
and
Unrighteous
,
and
of
the
Devil
,
yet
all
this
hath
Antichrist
titled
to
be
in
Honour
to
Christ
,
and
for
the
destroying
Hereticks
,
and
out
of
Iustice
and
Zeal
for
God
,
and
such
like
:
yea
,
and
the
most
Gross
Idolatries
,
and
most
Deceitful
Wayes
of
Worship
that
ever
hath
been
set
up
in
the
World
,
have
been
named
after
Christ
,
and
pretended
to
be
done
in
Honour
to
him
,
and
for
his
Glory
,
and
so
forth
;
so
deceivable
hath
Antichrist
been
in
the
World
,
and
walked
and
wrought
among
the
Sons
of
Men
in
deceiving
of
them
,
that
he
hath
used
and
taken
upon
him
the
very
Name
of
Christ
;
and
all
his
Evil
Works
of
Iniquity
of
all
kinds
,
hath
he
put
the
Name
and
Honour
of
Christ
upon
them
,
and
so
deceived
the
World
by
his
false
Wayes
,
Worships
,
Doctrines
and
Persecutions
,
through
covering
these
things
with
the
Name
of
Christ
,
and
pretending
his
Honour
and
Exaltation
,
whenas
his
own
true
Nature
and
Property
is
to
kill
Christ
,
and
gainsay
him
.
And
this
indeed
is
Antichrist
,
who
under
colour
and
pretence
of
Worshipping
and
Honouring
Christ
doth
seek
to
Slay
him
:
This
is
that
Crafty
and
Deceitful
Fox
,
that
Man
of
Sin
that
hath
been
exalted
,
that
Antichrist
that
Wicked
One
,
that
hath
deceived
the
World
for
many
Ages
;
But
the
Lord
is
now
discovering
him
,
and
destroying
him
by
the
Breath
of
his
Mouth
,
and
by
the
Brightness
of
his
Coming
,
according
to
the
Faithful
Promise
of
God
in
his
Servants
;
and
Antichrist
shall
be
discovered
and
destroyed
;
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand
upon
him
.
8.
Again
,
It
hath
been
the
way
of
Antichrist
,
that
he
might
the
better
deceive
the
World
,
to
transform
himself
into
the
likeness
of
the
best
Way
,
and
strictest
Profession
of
Religion
,
and
so
to
remove
from
one
Way
and
Form
unto
another
,
as
I
said
before
,
that
he
might
the
better
deceive
men
,
according
as
Paul
writ
,
2
Cor.
11.
verse
13
,
14.
for
such
are
false
Apostles
,
deceitful
Workers
,
transforming
themselves
into
the
Apostles
of
Christ
;
and
no
marvel
,
for
Satan
himself
is
transformed
into
an
ANGEL
of
LIGHT
;
by
which
it
is
plain
,
That
Antichrist
did
change
and
transform
himself
,
and
remove
from
one
Way
to
another
,
even
till
he
appeared
as
an
Angel
of
Light
,
and
in
the
very
Way
and
Form
of
the
Ministry
of
Righteousness
;
Thus
did
Antichrist
work
and
transform
himself
in
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
ever
since
unto
this
day
in
all
Times
and
Ages
;
for
it
hath
been
his
manner
and
way
,
when
he
could
no
longer
cover
himself
,
nor
be
hid
in
such
a
Way
of
Worship
and
Religion
,
in
which
he
hath
sometimes
dwelt
and
walked
,
but
that
his
Wickedness
,
Cruelties
,
Persecutions
and
Deceits
must
needs
be
seen
,
and
made
appear
unto
men
by
the
Light
of
the
Lord
shining
amongst
them
,
then
he
hath
transformed
into
another
likeness
,
and
removed
his
cruelties
and
persecutions
into
another
form
and
appearance
;
it
may
be
into
the
very
way
(
in
the
outward
prosession
and
practice
of
it
)
in
which
sometime
the
Lord
hath
dwelt
and
walked
,
and
there
hath
he
dwelt
deceiving
the
World
by
his
new
form
and
appearance
,
and
exercised
his
wickedness
,
cruelties
and
persecutions
,
in
some
new
way
,
having
quitted
the
Last
Form
in
which
he
dwelt
,
because
he
was
there
too
publikly
seen
and
discovered
:
And
now
in
his
new
likeness
into
which
he
is
Transformed
,
he
can
plead
the
example
of
Saints
;
they
did
such
things
,
and
held
such
Doctrines
,
and
Performed
such
Practises
as
now
he
is
found
in
;
and
this
did
the
Devil
sometime
to
Christ
,
he
pleaded
Scripture
against
him
:
And
thus
Antichrist
can
Change
himself
into
divers
appearances
,
that
he
may
deceive
men
:
Well
,
but
and
if
he
be
again
discovered
,
and
his
cruelties
and
wickedness
made
appear
in
his
Last
and
Newest
Form
,
he
can
transform
again
into
a
more
strict
Way
and
zealous
Performance
,
even
into
an
Angel
of
Light
,
as
if
he
were
indeed
the
true
Christ
,
and
were
in
the
Truth
altogether
,
and
no
man
needed
to
doubt
of
the
Truth
of
his
Way
;
and
then
under
that
Form
,
being
covered
with
more
Zeal
then
ever
,
with
more
pretence
of
Duty
to
God
then
before
,
he
blinds
the
World
,
and
deceives
them
,
and
leads
men
to
Perdition
;
and
though
changeable
in
his
Appearance
,
yet
is
he
in
himself
Antichrist
still
,
in
his
own
proper
nature
a
Murderer
,
Destroyer
,
and
a
Fountain
of
Mischief
and
Evil.
The
Truth
of
this
is
plain
,
if
it
be
considered
through
the
course
of
Scriptures
in
Generations
past
,
and
Transactions
of
Time
,
as
in
the
Prophets
dayes
of
old
,
this
spirit
(
which
is
no
other
but
the
Devil
)
sometimes
opposed
,
gainsayed
,
and
persecuted
the
Prophets
,
reproached
them
,
and
with-stood
them
,
and
imprisoned
them
,
and
killed
them
.
And
sometimes
we
find
the
same
spirit
transformed
it self
into
the
way
of
the
Prophets
,
and
acted
by
some
deceivers
and
false
Prophets
,
in
the
same
words
and
practices
which
the
true
Prophets
had
said
and
done
;
and
as
the
true
Prophets
used
their
Tongues
,
and
said
,
The
Lord
saith
it
;
so
the
false
Prophets
(
in
whom
the
Devil
was
transformed
)
they
used
their
Tongues
,
and
said
,
The
Lord
saith
it
(
also
)
when
God
had
not
spoken
to
them
:
So
here
was
this
spirit
of
Antichrist
changing
and
transforming
himself
,
that
he
might
the
better
deceive
.
Also
,
in
the
dayes
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
apeared
against
them
,
and
persecuted
them
,
and
killed
them
,
and
used
Cruelty
and
Injustice
towards
them
;
and
(
as
before
I
said
)
this
was
done
to
Christ
and
his
Apostles
by
the
wicked
Iews
,
under
colour
and
pretence
of
Love
to
their
God
,
and
Zeal
for
their
Law
,
and
for
the
Honour
of
their
Ordinances
and
Priesthood
,
which
they
supposed
Christ
and
his
Apostles
made
void
:
which
shews
,
That
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
appears
in
the
World
as
a
good
Man
;
as
a
Lover
of
God
,
and
his
Laws
,
and
the
like
.
Well
,
But
though
the
Envious
Men
and
Wicked
Persons
(
through
the
spirit
of
the
Devil
)
did
for
some
time
oppose
,
gainsay
and
persecute
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
yet
the
same
spirit
(
possibly
some
of
the
same
Persons
)
transformed
into
the
Profession
of
Christ
,
and
into
the
Profession
of
the
Words
and
Works
of
Him
and
his
Apostles
:
For
we
find
Envious
men
,
and
Wicked
men
,
such
as
had
persecuted
Christ
,
and
killed
him
,
were
gotten
to
preach
him
in
words
,
and
had
gotten
and
taken
upon
them
the
Form
of
Christ's
Doctrine
,
and
preached
him
out
of
Envy
,
and
for
Self-ends
,
and
the
like
:
So
that
't
is
plain
,
The
same
spirit
that
sometime
opposed
and
persecuted
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
his
Apostles
,
other
times
was
transformed
into
the
Profession
of
the
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
his
Apostles
words
:
And
this
is
the
way
of
Antichrist
to
deceive
men
upon
Earth
,
and
to
lead
them
to
Perdition
;
For
when
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
perceives
that
his
Envy
,
Malice
and
Cruelty
cannot
prevail
to
subdue
and
keep
under
the
Way
and
Truth
of
Christ
Jesus
,
as
it
appears
in
the
World
,
then
he
transforms
into
the
Likeness
and
formal
appearance
of
the
Way
of
the
Lord
and
his
Truth
;
and
when
the
Devil
cannot
kill
Christ
so
,
but
that
Christ
will
rise
again
,
appear
,
and
live
for
ever
,
contrary
to
all
the
malice
and
enmity
of
the
Devil
;
then
,
(
rather
then
he
will
submit
to
be
no
more
)
he
will
transform
himself
,
and
take
upon
him
the
Name
of
Christ
,
of
his
Honour
and
Glory
,
and
profess
him
in
words
,
and
seem
a
Friend
to
Christ
and
his
Kingdom
:
And
this
he
doth
,
that
he
may
live
still
in
the
World
,
and
by
deceiveableness
beguile
the
sons
of
men
into
perpetual
destruction
.
9.
And
the
very
work
of
Antichrist
this
day
in
the
World
,
is
to
deceive
,
beguile
,
seduce
and
betray
the
World
and
all
mankind
;
't
is
his
only
work
and
calling
,
as
I
may
say
,
to
deceive
;
't
is
his
nature
and
property
to
work
deceitfully
;
and
thus
it
ever
was
with
him
,
it
hath
been
his
Property
and
his
Work
in
all
Ages
,
and
in
every
Age
since
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
to
deceive
and
beguile
,
to
lead
men
from
God
,
and
to
lead
them
into
Perdition
:
this
I
say
hath
ever
been
his
work
in
the
World
,
and
by
the
means
aforesaid
,
(
to
wit
)
by
transforming
and
changing
himself
into
the
likeness
of
Righteousness
and
Verity
,
and
putting
the
pretence
of
Goodness
,
Vertue
and
Holiness
upon
his
Actions
and
Doings
,
though
never
so
evil
and
unrighteous
,
he
hath
always
,
I
say
,
by
this
means
,
and
in
this
way
deceived
the
World
,
by
appearing
as
a
Saint
,
as
a
Well-doer
;
as
an
Angel
of
Light
,
pretending
Wisdom
,
Righteousness
and
Vertue
,
and
colouring
his
Deeds
thereby
,
as
is
proved
in
the
Case
of
the
first
deceiving
of
Eve
;
What
said
Satan
to
the
Woman
?
Not
that
I
am
such
a
one
,
and
do
intend
to
deceive
thee
with
Falsity
;
but
,
Thou
shalt
be
as
God
;
Thou
shalt
be
wise
of
thy self
,
and
know
,
and
be
,
and
do
as
God
:
Here
was
a
fair
pretence
,
by
which
he
deceived
the
Woman
.
And
the
false
Prophets
and
false
Apostles
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
did
not
deceive
the
World
into
an
absolute
denial
of
God
,
and
Christ
,
and
Truth
,
but
did
deceive
them
into
the
false
Profession
of
the
same
,
holding
out
the
Form
of
Godliness
without
the
Power
;
and
by
feigned
words
,
and
good
Speeches
,
did
deceive
the
hearts
of
the
Simple
;
and
by
false
Doctrine
,
and
Ordinances
,
and
Form
of
Religion
,
did
the
Antichrist
deceive
the
World
,
in
dayes
past
,
as
he
doth
at
this
day
:
For
if
he
did
appear
to
be
as
he
is
in
his
own
nature
and
property
,
a
Devil
,
Deceiver
,
and
wicked
one
,
a
Leader
to
Perdition
and
Destruction
,
and
should
vindicate
himself
as
such
,
and
entice
and
tempt
People
as
such
;
then
none
would
believe
him
,
nor
follow
his
Wayes
,
for
none
would
willingly
be
destroyed
.
But
he
appears
not
as
such
in
the
World
,
but
alwayes
transforms
himself
into
the
Likeness
of
God
and
Goodness
,
still
pretending
the
same
:
And
by
this
means
is
he
more
capable
to
deceive
mankind
;
for
he
cannot
so
readily
deceive
and
lead
men
to
Perdition
,
in
his
own
proper
Nature
,
if
he
appear
as
he
is
such
;
but
therefore
he
appears
contrary
to
what
his
own
nature
is
,
and
transforms
himself
.
And
thus
doth
Antichrist
deceive
the
Christian
World
(
so
called
)
at
this
day
,
even
by
his
false
Wayes
of
Religion
,
false
Worship
,
false
Doctrine
,
false
Humility
,
false
Faith
,
and
false
Church
,
pretending
Zeal
and
Sanctity
,
and
such
like
:
Herein
,
and
hereby
(
generally
)
doth
Antichrist
that
Man
of
Sin
,
deceive
and
beguile
the
World
unto
Perdition
and
Destruction
.
Oh!
how
many
thousands
of
Peoples
,
of
Nations
and
Countries
are
at
this
day
deceived
on
this
wise
,
thinking
they
are
in
the
Truth
,
and
true
Way
of
Religion
,
Faith
and
Worship
,
professing
and
performing
these
things
with
much
Zeal
,
as
if
they
were
indeed
the
wayes
and
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
when
as
they
are
but
false
,
feigned
,
formal
,
and
of
Antichrist
,
and
deceivable
to
the
souls
of
men
,
even
Shews
without
Substance
;
Forms
without
Life
and
Power
;
of
Antichrist
,
and
not
of
the
true
Christ
.
And
thus
,
and
after
this
manner
,
with
the
very
likeness
of
Righteousness
,
and
appearance
of
Godliness
,
and
profession
of
Faith
and
duty
to
God
,
hath
Antichrist
deceived
the
World
,
and
doth
at
this
day
delude
Nations
,
to
the
perdition
of
thousands
:
And
Antichrist
doth
not
generally
deceive
men
in
his
works
and
appearance
as
he
is
in
his
own
Proper
Nature
;
but
in
his
appearance
and
works
transformed
and
changed
into
another
likeness
,
even
into
the
likeness
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
:
By
this
means
and
way
Satan
,
Antichrist
,
and
that
Man
of
Sin
,
doth
delude
and
deceive
the
Nations
of
the
World
.
10.
What
the
Works
of
Antichrist
are
,
by
what
is
said
,
doth
partly
appear
:
His
Works
are
all
deceivableness
,
to
deceive
and
delude
the
World
,
to
lead
mankind
captive
in
the
wayes
of
sin
and
death
,
unto
the
destruction
of
their
souls
,
and
to
be
cruel
and
hard-hearted
,
envious
,
malicious
and
perverse
,
a
hater
and
persecutor
of
goodness
and
good
men
,
and
to
murder
and
work
wickedness
,
to
do
all
evil
,
and
to
oppose
,
gain-say
and
deny
all
good
:
This
in
general
is
the
work
of
Antichrist
;
though
as
to
particulars
I
now
intend
not
to
mention
,
saving
as
I
have
before
shewed
,
to
impose
upon
Conscience
in
Religious
matters
,
by
outward
force
and
violence
,
is
a
main
principle
work
of
Antichrist
;
and
to
kill
and
destroy
Persons
on
the
account
of
Heresie
and
Error
,
and
to
use
violence
,
and
cruel
impositions
in
Spiritual
Cases
,
contrary
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
.
These
are
works
and
wayes
of
Antichrist
,
which
he
brings
forth
in
the
World
,
as
also
the
promoting
of
all
the
false
and
Idolatrous
Worships
,
and
false
Church-Governments
in
the
World
;
and
in
short
,
every
evil
work
and
word
brought
forth
amongst
the
sons
of
men
,
are
the
Works
of
the
Devil
and
Antichrist
,
which
he
seduceth
the
World
into
the
working
and
doing
of
;
and
to
consider
the
state
of
the
World
as
it
is
at
this
day
,
and
how
it
is
deceived
in
many
grievous
and
abominable
wayes
of
Error
,
Superstitions
,
Idolatries
and
Wickedness
,
it
makes
the
hearts
of
the
Righteous
sad
and
mournful
,
because
of
the
deceivableness
of
the
working
of
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
of
Antichrist
,
that
Man
of
Sin
in
the
World
,
who
deceiveth
Mankind
with
the
appearance
and
shew
of
godliness
,
and
leads
the
Children
of
Men
in
the
wayes
of
Ignorance
,
Death
,
Blindness
and
Error
,
yet
holds
them
under
a
false
pwerswasion
of
safety
and
security
,
as
if
they
were
in
the
right
way
,
and
walked
in
the
pathes
of
Happiness
,
when
indeed
and
in
Truth
they
are
beguiled
and
deceived
,
and
nigh
unto
the
pathes
of
perdition
.
Oh!
how
hath
Antichrist
prevailed
in
these
latter
Dayes
,
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
,
and
deceived
the
World
with
the
very
Formal
Profession
and
practice
of
such
Doctrines
and
Things
as
the
Apostles
held
and
Practised
in
the
Power
of
God
in
their
dayes
:
But
now
Antichrist
he
holds
the
Form
in
his
False
Spirit
,
and
hath
the
appearance
and
likeness
of
Righteousness
,
Truth
,
Faith
and
Worship
,
without
the
Power
of
God
,
even
likeness
of
the
things
that
the
Apostles
and
Saints
held
in
the
Power
of
God
:
And
hereby
is
the
World
deceived
,
though
Antichrist
hath
taught
them
to
Plead
Scriptures
,
and
Prove
by
Scriptures
,
●…t
the
Apostles
did
the
same
things
,
and
held
the
same
Profession
;
yet
being
now
held
and
professed
out
of
the
Power
of
God
,
and
not
in
the
same
Spirit
that
the
Apostles
were
in
,
't
is
but
of
Antichrist
,
and
deceivable
,
and
leads
captive
the
souls
of
men
into
destruction
.
Oh
therefore
that
the
World
,
and
all
that
dwel
therein
,
would
consider
the
danger
of
that
deceivable
Spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
how
he
deceiveth
mankind
,
and
would
turn
from
him
,
and
forsake
the
wayes
and
works
of
Antichrist
,
that
they
may
be
saved
,
and
not
destroyed
.
Oh!
all
ye
called
Christians
,
't
is
time
to
consider
what
Spirit
ye
are
of
,
and
what
Spirit
leads
you
,
and
how
ye
may
escape
his
delusions
;
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
come
,
and
he
is
gathering
People
out
of
the
wayes
of
Antichrist
,
and
setting
them
free
from
his
cruel
Bonds
,
to
serve
the
Lord
in
Liberty
and
Freedom
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
;
and
blessed
are
all
they
that
witness
this
,
where
Christ
reigns
,
and
Antichrist
is
subdued
with
his
works
and
fruits
,
and
discovered
and
destroyed
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
brightness
of
his
Coming
,
who
comes
to
judge
the
World
in
Righteousness
and
Truth
.
11.
These
things
are
said
in
general
of
Antichrist
;
Now
it
remains
to
be
shewed
,
What
the
Government
of
Antichrist
is
in
it self
,
and
where
it
is
in
beeing
,
and
who
the
Subjects
of
his
Kingdom
are
.
That
Antichrist
the
Man
of
Sin
hath
a
Government
,
a
Kingdom
,
a
Power
,
an
Authority
,
a
Rule
and
a
Dominion
(
which
is
indeed
his
Government
)
this
is
not
doubtful
to
any
,
but
acknowledged
by
all
;
but
what
this
Kingdom
and
Government
is
many
are
Ignorant
.
Now
the
Kingdom
and
Government
of
Antichrist
is
not
the
Government
and
Authority
of
some
particular
man
,
in
some
particular
Countrey
and
Nation
upon
Earth
,
distinct
from
all
other
persons
and
Nations
,
as
if
such
a
particuler
visible
Kingdom
and
Authority
,
were
Antichrist's
Government
,
and
none
besides
:
But
the
Authority
,
Kingdom
and
Government
of
Antichrist
is
more
invisible
,
more
hidden
,
as
it
were
more
spiritual
and
undiscernable
unto
the
sons
of
men
,
then
any
visible
,
outward
Kingdom
is
:
And
indeed
,
the
Kingdom
of
Antichrist
is
the
Authority
and
Power
of
Spiritual
Wickedness
,
of
Spiritual
invisible
Iniquity
,
or
the
Rule
and
Dominion
of
the
Son
of
Perdition
,
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
exercised
in
the
hearts
and
Spirits
of
all
ungodly
men
:
This
is
the
Kingdom
and
Government
of
Antichrist
,
an
Authority
of
Spiritual
Wickedness
,
a
Power
of
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
and
of
invisible
prevailing
of
the
Son
of
Perdition
in
,
and
over
the
hearts
of
the
Sons
of
men
;
not
onely
of
one
person
,
or
in
one
Nation
or
Kingdom
of
the
World
,
but
in
all
sinful
persons
,
and
over
all
Nations
of
the
Earth
;
Antichrist's
Government
is
such
throughout
Kingdoms
of
this
World
,
even
a
Spiritual
Power
of
Wickedness
,
a
Dominion
and
Authority
of
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
ruling
and
raigning
in
the
hearts
of
many
men
,
even
of
all
sinful
men
,
of
all
unjust
men
of
all
unconverted
men
through
all
Nations
in
the
World
:
So
that
it
may
not
truly
be
said
,
that
Antichrist's
Kingdom
and
Government
is
onely
the
particular
Authority
of
any
particular
man
,
in
a
particular
Nation
of
the
Earth
,
and
all
others
(
Men
and
Nations
)
are
free
;
but
it
is
(
as
I
have
said
)
the
Authority
,
Power
and
Rule
of
the
Spirit
of
Wickedness
,
of
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
in
the
hearts
of
all
evil
men
,
in
all
Nations
through
the
World
.
And
this
is
truly
the
Kingdom
of
Antichrist
in
it self
.
12.
This
Government
is
placed
and
set
up
,
and
chiefly
the
place
and
beeing
of
it
,
is
(
not
only
in
all
Nations
at
large
,
but
)
in
the
Hearts
,
even
in
particular
Hearts
of
the
Sons
of
men
,
in
the
Heart
and
Inward
Parts
of
man
,
is
the
place
where
Antichrist's
Government
is
;
his
Authority
,
Power
and
Dominion
is
in
the
Hearts
of
the
Ungodly
,
in
the
inward
Parts
of
Transgressors
;
in
the
Heart
Antichrist
(
that
Man
of
Sin
)
dwells
and
works
,
according
as
it
is
written
,
2
Thess.

,

speaking
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
Whose
coming
is
after
the
working
of
Satan
with
all
lying
Wonders
,
and
with
all
Deceivableness
of
Uurighteousness
in
them
that
perish
:
His
dwelling
and
working
is
in
them
that
perish
,
in
the
Ungodly
,
in
the
Hypocrites
,
in
all
●…aters
,
in
all
false
Worshippers
:
Thus
it
is
manifest
,
That
the
Government
of
Antichrist
is
in
the
Heart
,
not
only
to
one
man
in
some
Nations
,
but
in
the
Hearts
of
all
such
men
mentioned
in
all
the
Kingdoms
of
the
World
,
even
the
Mystery
of
Iniquity
,
the
spiritual
Wickedness
,
the
authority
and
power
of
that
spirit
that
is
against
Christ
,
and
contrary
to
him
(
which
is
the
Rule
,
Kingdom
and
Government
of
Antichrist
)
dwelleth
and
worketh
in
the
hearts
of
the
Sons
of
men
,
even
like
as
Christ
Jesus
dwelleth
and
walketh
in
his
Saints
,
as
it
is
written
,
so
accordingly
doth
Antichrist
dwell
and
walk
in
all
that
are
the
Subjects
of
his
Kingdom
:
Yet
notwithstanding
,
the
Government
of
Antichrist
is
in
the
hearts
of
men
,
originally
there
,
as
having
got
dominion
and
Power
over
the
seed
of
God
,
and
placed
it self
in
the
heart
,
which
is
its
seat
,
and
where
Christ
should
reign
,
yet
the
Government
of
Antichrist
is
not
so
spiritual
,
so
hidden
and
invisible
in
the
heart
,
but
that
it
appears
outwardly
and
visibly
in
the
actions
and
fruits
of
men
;
so
that
the
outward
actions
and
works
of
men
are
〈◊〉
and
sinted
with
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
and
his
government
apaears
visible
in
Antichristian
Ways
and
Works
brought
forth
by
men
;
the
Sinfulness
of
men
,
the
Hypocrisies
of
men
,
the
Idolatries
of
men
,
and
the
false
Principles
and
Doctrines
of
men
,
which
appear
visibly
,
are
the
Works
of
Antichrist
,
and
his
Government
stands
in
these
things
,
in
these
Works
he
Governs
men
;
and
to
the
doing
of
them
,
he
leads
and
rules
men
by
his
authority
and
power
,
which
is
in
the
Hearts
of
men
.
And
thus
Antichrist's
Government
appears
visible
and
outward
,
and
is
in
the
outward
Actions
and
Works
of
men
to
be
seen
in
the
World
,
as
well
as
the
working
of
his
Power
and
Authority
is
in
the
Heart
inwardly
.
And
also
,
Antichrist's
Government
is
extended
not
only
,
as
first
,
dwelling
and
working
in
the
Hearts
of
the
Ungodly
;
nor
secondly
,
as
over
the
Works
of
men
particularly
;
but
over
the
Governments
of
many
Nations
and
Countries
in
general
is
Antichrist's
Power
and
Rule
extended
,
so
that
the
Governments
of
the
World
are
leavened
and
tasted
with
Antichristian-power
and
authority
in
many
Nations
;
even
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
hath
possessed
many
hearts
,
many
Works
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
many
Governments
amongst
men
;
and
this
hath
appeared
and
broken
forth
visible
in
all
the
works
of
Unrighteousness
,
Injustice
,
Oppressions
and
Persecutions
brought
forth
in
Worldly
Government
;
for
so
much
as
hath
been
brought
forth
in
any
Government
,
in
any
Nation
,
at
any
time
of
Unrighteousness
,
Injustice
,
Oppression
,
Idolatry
,
false
Worship
and
Persecutions
,
and
of
any
othor
Evils
,
even
so
much
of
Antichrist's
kingdom
,
government
and
power
hath
been
in
that
Kingdom
and
Government
:
and
that
Kingdom
and
Government
wheresoever
,
in
what
Nation
and
Country
soever
,
hath
been
Antichristian
,
even
in
so
much
and
by
so
much
as
Injustice
,
Wickedness
,
Cruelty
,
Persecution
,
or
any
Acts
of
Sin
and
Wickedness
have
been
,
or
are
brought
forth
into
action
in
that
Government
.
And
thus
it
is
manifest
,
what
,
and
where
Antichrist's
Government
is
;
Now
I
shall
briefly
shew
,
Who
the
Subjects
of
his
kingdom
are
.
1.
All
the
ungodly
unrighteous
and
unconverted
Persons
in
general
throughout
the
World
are
the
Subjects
of
Antichrist's
kingdom
;
all
the
Sons
of
fallen
Adam
in
Transgression
,
all
that
are
in
the
first
Birth
,
in
degeneration
,
in
the
alienation
and
separation
from
God
,
even
all
that
are
wicked
,
and
do
wickedly
,
that
are
in
the
Enmity
against
Christ
,
and
unholy
,
unsanctified
and
unregenerate
,
these
are
a●●
of
Antichrist's
kingdom
,
Subjects
of
it
,
and
Servants
to
it
,
and
it
rules
in
them
,
and
over
them
,
and
Antichrist
is
their
Ruler
in
all
these
their
wicked
wayes
,
and
in
this
their
present
state
and
condition
.
2.
All
Hypocrites
,
that
profess
God
in
words
,
and
in
Works
deny
him
;
that
make
a
shew
of
Religion
and
Worship
,
when
their
Hearts
are
far
from
the
Lord
;
that
with
their
Mouthes
profess
much
Love
to
God
,
and
with
their
Lips
honour
him
,
but
are
departed
from
his
Fear
,
and
stand
not
in
his
Counsel
;
all
such
are
Subjects
of
the
Goverments
of
Antichrist
,
even
all
false-hearted
and
dissembling
Hypocrites
,
that
profess
more
of
God
then
they
know
of
him
by
the
operation
of
his
Spirit
;
that
have
an
outward
conformity
in
appearance
of
Worship
and
duty
to
God-wards
,
and
their
hearts
are
not
conformed
to
the
Power
of
God
,
by
his
Spirit
,
all
such
are
of
the
government
of
Antichrist
,
and
his
kingdom
and
power
dwells
in
them
,
and
they
are
under
the
dominion
thereof
.
3.
All
Idolaters
,
false
Worshippers
,
Hereticks
and
erronious
Persons
;
such
as
cry
up
Church
and
Ministry
,
and
profess
Faith
and
Godliness
,
and
yet
are
not
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
nor
led
of
it
into
all
Truth
,
these
are
Subjects
of
the
aforesaid
Government
of
Antichrist
,
even
all
they
that
are
sensually-minded
,
and
have
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
guiding
them
in
the
Way
of
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
who
are
not
converted
,
and
born
again
,
and
renewed
into
the
Image
and
Likeness
of
Christ
Iesus
;
and
yet
practice
Holiness
,
and
Duty
to
God-wards
in
outward
appearance
;
and
are
in
the
profession
of
the
words
of
Christ
,
and
his
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
but
have
not
the
same
Spirit
and
Power
of
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
as
the
Prophes
and
Apostles
had
;
these
are
covered
with
Sheep's-Clothing
,
and
profess
Christ
and
his
words
,
but
are
against
Christ
,
and
contrary
to
him
in
kind
and
nature
;
and
all
such
are
of
the
government
of
Antichrist
,
and
he
governs
them
,
and
rules
over
them
.
4.
All
Backsliders
,
and
them
that
have
forsaken
the
right
Way
of
the
Lord
;
all
that
are
turned
against
the
Truth
of
God
,
which
once
they
knew
and
believed
,
and
were
convinced
of
,
and
sometimes
professed
,
these
are
all
Subjects
of
Antichrist's
raign
and
authority
,
even
all
the
Unfaithful
and
False-hearted
,
who
are
treacherous
to
God
and
men
,
and
unconstant
&
unchangeable
,
Time-servers
&
Hypocrites
,
who
have
denyed
Christ
before
men
,
and
turned
against
him
,
and
his
Saints
,
such
are
under
Satans
power
,
and
he
works
in
their
hearts
,
and
Antichrist
deceives
them
,
and
they
are
under
his
power
and
dominion
,
and
are
Subjects
of
his
government
.
5.
All
Persecutors
of
the
Saints
,
all
violent
and
cruel
Men
,
all
that
persecute
such
as
are
contrary-minded
to
themselves
,
are
of
Antichrist
,
and
Subjects
of
his
kingdom
;
even
all
that
kill
,
and
burn
and
destroy
for
difference
of
Faith
and
Religion
,
who
themselves
profess
Love
to
God
and
his
Way
,
and
yet
will
persecute
others
,
and
destroy
them
by
cruel
dealing
,
and
that
would
not
suffer
any
to
live
but
themselves
,
and
will
not
do
to
others
as
they
would
be
done
unto
;
but
hate
the
Neighbour
,
and
persecute
Brother
,
and
impose
upon
his
Conscience
in
things
against
good
Conscience
,
and
are
violent
Doers
;
all
such
men
are
Subjects
to
Antichrist's
kingdom
in
all
Nations
throughout
the
World
.
Therefore
let
all
consider
,
This
is
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
God
will
discover
and
destroy
Antichrist
and
his
kingdom
;
let
the
Wicked
and
Ungodly
turn
from
his
evil
way
,
lest
God
destroy
him
with
perpetual
Destruction
.
Lastly
,
'T
is
the
Property
of
such
who
are
Subjects
of
Antichrist's
kingdom
,
to
profess
and
cry
up
much
of
Christ
in
words
,
of
what
he
said
and
did
,
of
his
Life
,
of
his
Death
,
of
what
he
hath
been
,
and
what
he
shall
be
,
and
do
deny
the
present
enjoyment
of
Christ
,
to
that
Antichrist
is
an
Enemy
;
he
can
well
away
with
it
to
speak
of
Christ
at
a
distance
,
but
he
cannot
bear
it
if
any
hold
forth
a
present
enjoyment
of
Christ
;
That
Christ
takes
away
sin
,
and
forgives
it
,
and
that
his
Blood
cleanseth
from
it
,
and
that
he
is
the
Iustifier
,
and
Redeemer
and
Saviour
;
the
Profession
of
all
this
in
words
from
the
Letter
without
,
and
that
they
are
things
true
in
themselves
Antichrist
can
bear
and
make
a
shew
of
in
Profession
;
but
if
any
of
the
Saints
of
God
do
witness
these
things
,
and
shall
testifie
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
the
enjoyment
of
these
things
,
and
that
they
are
at
present
in
this
Life
possessed
(
to
wit
)
Christ
now
lives
in
us
,
and
is
come
,
and
his
Blood
hath
clensed
from
sin
,
and
he
hath
forgiven
it
,
and
he
hath
justified
,
redeemed
and
saved
:
I
say
,
if
any
do
witness
these
things
in
present
enjoyment
,
and
that
they
are
now
in
this
present
time
witnessed
in
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
not
onely
professed
from
the
Letter
without
,
but
experienced
by
the
Work
of
God
within
;
Antichrist
opposeth
this
,
and
gainsayes
present
enjoyment
:
And
such
indeed
are
Subjects
of
Antichrist's
kingdom
,
who
have
the
profession
of
Christ
in
words
,
but
no
present
enjoyment
of
him
,
but
want
his
Nature
,
and
are
in
the
Nature
contrary
to
him
,
and
feed
upon
Reports
of
things
done
by
him
without
,
and
upon
the
expectations
of
what
he
shall
do
hereafter
,
and
in
this
present
state
are
without
Christ
,
and
are
Sinners
and
Transgressors
against
the
Life
of
Righteousness
,
unconverted
and
unregenerated
by
Christ
;
all
such
as
these
are
the
Subjects
of
Antichrist's
kingdom
.
And
as
concerning
the
Rise
and
Fall
of
Antichrist
,
the
Beginning
and
Ending
of
his
Kingdom
;
these
things
in
season
may
be
declared
,
if
God
permit
.
E.
B.
A
Hue-and-Cry
AFTER
THE
FALSE
PROPHETS
AND
DECEIVERS
Of
Our
AGE
:
And
a
DISCOVERY
of
them
by
their
WORKS
and
FRUITS
;
And
who
they
are
in
this
Age
that
follow
the
same
spirit
,
and
act
the
same
things
,
as
did
the
false
Prophet
in
former
Generations
.
FOrasmuch
as
in
the
World
at
this
day
,
and
through
all
Christian
Nations
,
there
is
a
great
Cry
concerning
False
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
each
one
Sort
and
Sect
of
People
accusing
and
charging
the
Teachers
and
Ministers
that
are
of
others
,
and
not
of
their
Way
,
to
be
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
:
Thus
the
Papists
cry
against
the
Protestant
Ministers
,
and
the
Protestant
Ministers
do
the
like
by
the
Papists
,
each
one
sort
of
people
cryes
the
like
against
the
Ministers
of
the
others
.
And
without
all
controversie
,
there
are
in
the
Christian-World
(
so
called
)
and
in
these
Kingdoms
,
many
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
even
at
this
day
,
and
hath
been
for
many
Ages
since
the
dayes
of
the
Apostles
:
And
the
World
,
and
Nations
and
Multitudes
have
been
deceived
into
the
way
of
Error
through
the
means
of
the
Deceivers
,
who
have
done
much
Hurt
in
the
World
by
their
Divinations
and
Antichristian-wayes
that
they
have
walked
in
:
But
though
it
is
acknowledged
by
all
sorts
of
Christians
,
That
there
are
and
have
been
many
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
;
yet
the
great
Controversie
is
at
this
day
,
Who
are
the
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
?
seeing
(
as
I
have
said
)
that
every
sort
of
Men
are
accusing
others
to
be
such
:
But
now
it
remains
to
be
sought
out
[
and
that
carefully
by
all
]
who
are
the
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
?
whether
Papists
Ministers
,
or
Protestant
Ministers
,
or
whether
any
others
?
and
who
such
are
in
this
day
?
Now
therefore
for
this
very
End
,
that
it
may
be
made
manifest
unto
all
,
who
the
Deceivers
are
,
and
that
they
may
be
turned
from
,
and
their
Wayes
eschewed
by
all
People
;
thus
I
try
them
,
and
bring
them
to
right
and
true
Judgment
,
and
shall
not
charge
the
Papists
,
the
Protestants
,
or
any
others
,
by
their
Name
,
or
because
of
their
Name
,
that
therefore
they
are
Deceivers
:
But
seeing
that
all
sorts
of
Christians
do
profess
the
Scriptures
,
and
that
they
own
them
;
Therefore
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
I
shall
lay
both
Papists
,
and
Protestants
,
and
all
others
to
the
Line
of
Judgment
by
the
Rule
of
Scriptures
,
and
the
Spirit
that
gave
them
;
and
if
Papists
,
Protestants
,
or
whose
Ministers
soever
come
under
the
Judgment
of
that
Rule
,
they
shall
be
concluded
by
the
Rule
of
the
Spirit
of
God
and
the
Scriptures
,
to
be
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
Therefore
come
out
Papists
,
Protestants
,
Anabaptists
,
Quakers
,
and
all
others
;
come
forth
and
hear
your
Tryal
,
and
receive
your
Judgment
.
First
of
all
,
It
is
concluded
(
and
that
I
hope
by
all
reasonable
men
)
That
whosoever
they
are
at
this
day
through
the
World
,
whether
Papists
or
Protestants
(
so
called
)
or
whoever
,
that
shall
be
found
walking
by
the
same
spirit
,
and
in
the
same
Wayes
,
and
doing
the
same
things
that
the
false
Prophets
of
Israel
did
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
and
that
the
false
Brethren
and
false
Teachers
among
the
Churches
of
the
Christians
in
the
Apostles
dayes
walked
in
and
followed
,
such
may
at
this
day
be
adjudged
,
deemed
and
taken
to
be
false
Prophets
and
false
Teachers
;
Deceivers
and
Seducers
,
and
this
without
respect
to
any
Name
or
Title
whatsoever
that
they
bear
in
their
Religion
.
And
this
is
the
Rule
of
Tryal
and
Judgment
,
in
which
I
may
Justly
and
Righteously
proceed
.
1.
They
were
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
in
the
dayes
of
the
true
Prophets
,
Isa.
56.
11.
That
were
Greedy
Dumb
Dogs
;
which
could
never
have
enough
;
and
that
sought
every
one
of
them
for
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
;
and
that
Preached
for
Hire
,
and
Divined
for
Money
,
Mic.
3.
11.
The
Priests
that
Taught
for
Hire
,
and
the
Prophets
that
Divined
for
Money
;
against
such
as
these
Isaiah
and
Micah
cryed
,
and
that
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
being
commanded
of
him
so
to
do
.
Now
whosoever
,
whether
Papists
or
Protestants
of
any
sort
,
Independents
,
Presbyterians
,
Quakers
,
or
any
other
,
that
have
a
Quarter
,
from
whence
they
seek
their
Gain
for
Preaching
,
and
Teach
for
Hire
,
and
have
Hire
for
Teaching
,
(
viz.
)
Tythes
,
or
Sums
of
Money
,
and
Divine
for
Money
;
such
,
whatsoever
they
be
,
without
respect
of
their
Names
or
Professions
,
walk
by
the
same
spirit
,
and
in
the
same
way
,
and
do
the
same
things
as
the
false
Prophets
did
,
and
are
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
And
therefore
all
People
,
it
is
left
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
Consciences
,
and
that
you
may
give
Witness
in
this
Case
,
who
are
they
now
,
and
where
they
are
that
can
never
have
enough
,
but
are
greedy
after
Gain
,
and
Covetous
,
and
that
seek
for
Gain
from
their
Quarters
,
or
Portions
of
a
Country
or
City
?
and
where
are
they
now
,
and
who
is
it
that
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
Divine
for
Money
,
that
take
so
much
Money
or
Gifts
by
the
Year
or
Moneth
for
Preaching
?
who
is
it
,
or
who
are
they
now
that
walk
in
these
Wayes
?
such
,
whoever
they
be
,
whether
Papists
,
Protestants
,
Sectaries
(
so
called
)
are
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
2.
They
were
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
That
stood
not
in
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
that
did
not
turn
People
from
their
Iniquities
and
Evil
Wayes
;
but
spake
a
Vision
of
their
own
Hearts
,
and
not
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
:
And
that
cryed
Peace
to
them
that
walked
Wickedly
,
and
Prophesied
Lyes
,
and
used
their
Tongues
,
and
said
,
The
Lord
saith
it
,
whenas
the
Lord
had
not
spoken
to
them
;
and
that
seduced
the
People
by
crying
Peace
,
when
there
was
no
Peace
;
and
saw
Vanity
,
and
spok●
Vanity
and
Lyes
in
the
dayes
of
the
true
Prophets
:
I
say
,
such
were
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
Now
whosoever
,
whether
Papists
,
or
Protestants
,
or
any
others
,
that
do
not
stand
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
that
do
not
turn
People
from
their
Iniquities
,
and
their
Evil
Wayes
;
but
speak
a
Vision
of
their
own
Hearts
,
and
not
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
;
and
that
cry
Peace
to
them
that
walk
wickedly
,
that
prophecy
Lyes
,
and
use
their
Tongues
,
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
to
them
;
and
that
seduce
People
by
crying
Peace
,
when
there
is
no
Peace
;
and
that
builds
the
Wall
,
and
daubs
it
with
untempered
Mortar
,
and
that
do
not
Profit
the
People
at
all
,
but
cause
them
to
err
;
Such
are
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
at
this
day
,
wheresoever
and
whosoever
(
without
respect
of
Name
or
Title
in
their
Profession
)
Such
now
walk
by
the
spirit
of
the
false
Prophets
,
and
are
in
the
way
of
the
Deceivers
,
which
the
Lord
sent
true
Prophets
to
cry
against
.
And
now
to
all
People
of
what
Name
soever
,
it
is
left
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
all
to
give
witness
,
who
they
are
now
,
and
where
they
are
that
are
guilty
hereof
.
Who
is
it
now
that
stand
not
in
the
Counsel
of
God
,
and
that
do
not
turn
People
from
their
Iniquities
,
that
do
not
convert
them
to
God
by
their
preaching
,
But
speak
what
they
have
studied
for
,
even
a
Divination
of
their
own
Brain
,
and
not
what
they
have
received
from
God
;
and
that
use
their
tongues
,
and
take
other
mens
words
,
the
Words
of
Christ
,
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
;
when
as
they
have
not
the
same
Spirit
of
Christ
and
his
Apostles
;
Nor
have
they
heard
the
Voice
of
God
speaking
to
them
,
But
take
Chapter
and
Verse
,
and
say
,
Hear
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
when
the
Lord
never
spoke
to
them
,
nor
sent
them
.
Who
is
it
now
,
and
where
are
they
that
are
guilty
hereof
?
and
that
cry
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
when
the
Lord
speaks
no
Peace
to
them
;
and
that
are
light
vain
persons
,
and
covetous
and
greedy
persons
,
and
that
see
Vanity
,
and
daub
with
untempered
Mortar
;
that
cry
Peace
unto
People
,
and
say
they
shall
have
Peace
by
Christ
,
while
yet
they
kill
Christ
,
and
are
not
Changed
by
Him
.
Where
are
there
such
now
,
by
whom
People
are
not
converted
to
God
,
although
they
preach
time
after
time
?
Let
all
People
bring
in
their
Witness
:
For
whosoever
are
such
at
this
day
,
whether
they
be
Papists
or
Protestants
,
Anabaptists
or
Quakers
(
so
called
)
or
whosoever
,
Such
▪
(
I
say
)
are
led
by
the
spirit
of
the
false
Prophets
,
and
are
in
their
way
and
practices
,
and
all
such
are
to
be
judged
,
deemed
and
taken
for
Antichrists
Ministers
,
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
without
respect
of
Persons
or
Titles
of
Religion
.
3.
They
were
false
Brethren
,
and
false
Teachers
,
that
taught
for
filthy
lucre
;
that
professed
they
knew
God
in
words
,
and
in
works
denied
him
;
being
abominable
and
disobedient
,
and
to
every
good
work
reprobate
;
who
had
a
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
denied
the
Power
;
and
were
heady
and
high-minded
men
,
and
lovers
of
pleasures
more
than
lovers
of
God
;
that
were
ever
teaching
,
and
never
able
to
bring
people
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
And
such
were
false
Prophets
,
and
false
Teachers
,
that
through
covetousness
and
feigned
words
did
make
Merchandize
of
People
;
that
beguiled
unstable
Souls
,
and
that
had
hearts
exercised
with
covetous
practices
;
being
out
of
the
right
way
,
and
following
the
way
of
Balaam
,
who
loved
the
Wages
of
unrighteousness
:
These
,
and
such
as
these
,
were
Deceivers
and
false
Teachers
in
the
Apostles
dayes

2.
Now
whosoever
,
whether
Papists
or
Protestants
,
or
of
what
Sect
soever
they
be
that
do
these
things
,
that
teach
for
filthy
lucre
;
that
profess
God
in
words
,
but
in
works
deny
him
;
and
that
live
wickedly
,
and
are
disobedient
to
God
;
and
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
want
the
Power
;
and
are
heady
and
high-minded
men
,
and
love
pleasures
;
under
whom
people
are
ever
learning
,
but
not
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
;
and
that
through
Covetousness
and
feigned
words
make
Merchandize
of
people
;
that
are
unstable
men
,
and
do
exercise
themselves
in
covetous
practices
;
and
are
not
in
the
right
way
,
but
do
follow
the
way
of
Balaam
,
who
loved
unrighteous
Wages
:
Whosoever
are
such
,
whether
they
be
Papists
or
Protestants
,
or
Quakers
,
or
whomsoever
they
be
,
they
follow
the
Spirit
of
the
false
Prophets
,
and
are
in
the
way
of
the
false
Teachers
,
and
are
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
even
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
And
now
to
all
people
whatsoever
I
appeal
for
Evidence
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
your
Consciences
,
that
you
may
judge
in
this
case
:
Where
are
they
now
,
and
who
is
it
?
are
there
not
some
such
present
amongst
you
this
day
in
your
Cities
and
Towns
and
Countries
,
even
such
as
teach
for
filthy
lucre
;
that
will
preach
where
they
can
get
gain
for
preaching
,
but
not
otherwise
;
and
that
Profess
God
and
Christ
with
their
lips
,
and
shew
much
love
,
but
deny
God
in
works
;
who
live
unholy
lives
,
and
in
evil
wayes
,
and
give
bad
Examples
to
People
,
and
that
are
reprobate
to
good
works
;
and
that
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
not
the
Power
;
and
that
are
heady
and
high-minded
,
and
ambitious
persons
;
and
that
are
teaching
many
years
together
,
and
People
cannot
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
them
,
but
are
alwayes
ignorant
and
wicked
.
And
do
not
your
Teachers
exercise
covetous
practices
among
you
,
and
go
in
the
way
of
Balaam
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
(
viz
)
so
much
for
a
Sermon
,
and
for
a
years
Preaching
:
Such
who
are
made
Ministers
by
man
,
and
not
by
the
Lord
,
and
who
do
not
profit
the
People
at
all
:
Whosoever
they
are
,
that
are
such
[
now
in
this
Age
]
are
False
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
and
follow
the
spirit
and
walk
in
the
steps
of
the
Deceivers
of
old
;
and
whosoever
they
are
,
whether
Papists
,
Protestants
,
or
any
others
,
they
may
lawfully
be
taken
,
judged
and
deemed
to
be
false
Prophets
,
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
and
Deceivers
.
4.
The
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
in
the
dayes
of
old
,
were
feigning
and
flattering
men
,
and
cryed
peace
to
the
wicked
;
and
cryed
Peace
,
peace
,
to
every
one
that
put
into
their
mouthes
;
but
Prepared
War
against
every
one
that
did
not
,
Micah
3.
5.
And
they
respected
mens
persons
,
and
held
mens
persons
in
Admiration
because
of
Advantage
,
Jude
16.
Now
whosoever
,
whether
Papists
or
Protestants
,
or
any
else
,
that
are
Feigners
and
Flatterers
,
and
that
cry
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
and
cry
Peace
to
them
that
put
into
their
Mouthes
;
but
are
Bitter
,
and
Angry
and
Perverse
against
such
as
will
not
,
or
cannot
give
them
Hire
and
Money
for
Preaching
;
and
that
respect
mens
Persons
,
and
turn
every
way
,
from
one
kind
of
Worship
to
another
;
and
have
mens
Persons
in
Admiration
for
their
own
Gain
and
Advantage
:
whoever
are
such
now
in
this
Age
,
are
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
.
And
therefore
all
People
,
bring
in
your
Evidence
;
Who
are
such
now
?
and
where
are
they
that
are
flattering
men
,
that
cry
Peace
to
all
that
will
give
them
Means
,
and
put
into
their
Mouthes
,
and
that
Admire
the
Persons
of
Great
Men
,
and
that
respect
the
Persons
of
Great
Men
for
Advantage
?
If
there
be
any
such
now
amongst
you
,
whether
they
be
Papists
or
Protestants
,
Anabaptists
or
Quakers
(
so
called
)
you
may
justly
take
such
,
and
let
such
be
deemed
,
judged
and
reputed
false
Prophets
,
Seducers
,
and
Ministers
of
Antichrist
.
And
now
all
People
upon
Earth
,
try
,
learn
and
examine
your
Teachers
and
Ministers
,
lay
them
to
the
Line
of
Iudgment
;
For
if
they
are
such
as
are
here
described
,
if
they
bear
these
Marks
and
Fruits
declared
,
and
if
they
follow
the
same
spirit
,
and
do
as
the
false
Prophets
of
old
did
,
according
as
't
is
declared
in
the
Scriptures
;
then
may
you
justly
judge
them
to
be
Deceivers
,
and
false
Prophets
and
Ministers
of
Antichrist
:
For
whosoever
they
be
that
are
amongst
you
,
as
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
that
have
a
Quarter
from
whence
they
seek
their
Gain
,
and
Divine
for
Money
,
and
go
a
Preaching
for
Gifts
and
Rewards
,
and
that
teach
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
that
are
Covetous
Persons
,
Heady
and
High-minded
Persons
,
and
Ambitious
Men
,
that
do
not
profit
the
People
at
all
,
nor
turn
them
from
sin
by
their
Preaching
;
and
that
Prophesie
Lyes
,
and
that
are
Flatterers
and
Changeable
Persons
,
and
will
turn
from
one
Way
to
another
,
and
have
mens
Persons
in
Admiration
because
of
Advantage
:
Whosoever
he
be
that
is
one
of
these
above
described
,
who
hath
these
Marks
and
Signs
upon
him
,
of
this
Physiognomy
,
of
this
Nature
and
Feature
,
as
before
described
;
wheresoever
such
a
one
shall
be
found
,
or
whensoever
you
see
him
,
or
meet
with
him
,
or
if
such
a
one
be
amongst
you
,
or
pass
by
you
,
let
him
be
suspected
,
taken
,
deemed
and
judged
for
a
false
Prophet
and
Deceiver
,
without
respect
of
his
Name
and
Title
in
his
Profession
of
Religion
.
Again
,
Christ
Jesus
prophesied
and
said
,
That
Deceivers
and
false
Prophets
should
come
,
who
should
have
the
Sheep's-Clothing
,
but
inwardly
Ravening
Wolves
.
And
John
said
,
The
false
Prophets
were
already
come
into
the
World
[
in
his
dayes
]
even
the
false
Prophets
and
Antichrist
,
whom
Christ
said
should
come
;
and
the
False
Prophets
and
Deceivers
that
Christ
said
should
come
,
John
saw
were
come
into
the
World
in
his
dayes
.
Now
,
who
is
it
,
and
where
are
they
that
are
Wolves
in
Sheeps
cloathing
,
that
are
those
Antichrists
that
Christ
said
should
come
;
and
Iohn
said
were
come
?
Even
such
are
they
that
have
the
Outside
(
viz.
)
Christ's
words
,
and
the
Apostles
words
,
and
the
Saints
practices
;
they
have
the
Sheep's
clothing
,
but
inwardly
are
the
Wolves
in
the
evil
nature
;
and
their
evil
nature
is
covered
with
the
Saints
words
and
practices
;
and
such
are
the
Wolves
in
Sheep's
clothing
,
that
have
the
outside
of
the
Sheep
,
but
want
the
Nature
of
Christ
,
and
are
in
the
contrary
nature
.
And
to
all
people
that
are
upon
the
Earth
I
do
appeal
,
and
ask
,
where
are
they
that
are
such
now
?
and
who
are
they
?
whether
they
be
Papists
or
Protestants
,
or
whomsoever
else
that
are
such
,
that
have
the
outside
,
the
sheeps
cloathing
,
but
inwardly
are
wolves
of
a
devouring
nature
;
such
are
they
that
Christ
said
should
come
,
and
Iohn
saw
was
come
;
And
such
are
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
whosoever
they
are
,
and
such
are
in
the
World
,
and
have
over-spread
it
since
the
Apostles
dayes
;
and
whole
Christendom
hath
been
deceived
by
such
Wolves
in
Sheeps
clothing
,
even
by
such
as
have
got
the
Outside
,
the
Saints
words
and
Practices
,
but
wanted
the
Life
,
and
have
been
in
the
Evil
Nature
,
and
not
in
the
Nature
of
CHRIST
JESUS
:
And
such
now
in
this
Age
,
are
to
be
taken
,
judged
and
deemed
false
Prophets
and
Deceivers
,
Wolves
in
Sheeps
cloathing
,
and
Ministers
of
Antichrist
.

B.
TO
THE
Friends
of
Truth
In
and
about
LONDON
.
DEarly
and
well-beloved
in
Christ
our
Life
and
Glory
,
The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
upon
me
,
and
at
this
time
quickeneth
my
heart
into
the
lively
remembrance
of
you
all
,
herewith
sending
the
hearty
and
fervent
Salutation
of
my
dear
and
perfect
Love
,
unto
all
the
Faithfull
amongst
you
;
for
the
Fathers
Love
filleth
my
heart
,
and
hath
raised
up
my
spirit
into
an
holy
frame
and
temper
of
gladness
and
rejoycing
,
of
great
joy
and
comfort
in
the
remembrance
and
feeling
sence
of
what
the
Lord
hath
wrought
and
made
manifest
among
his
People
,
and
the
fulness
of
his
Love
and
rejoycing
floweth
out
in
praising
and
magnifying
the
Lord
our
God
for
evermore
.
Oh
what
hath
the
Lord
wrought
for
us
in
our
day
!
How
hath
his
out-stretched
Arm
been
made
bare
again
and
again
for
our
Salvation
and
Deliverance
?
How
many
have
his
Mercies
been
,
and
how
numberless
have
his
Lovingkindnesses
been
shewed
to
us
?
How
hath
his
power
and
wisdom
been
discovered
amongst
his
People
,
by
which
we
are
quickned
and
revived
into
the
Life
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
to
be
Servants
and
Heirs
of
the
Everlasting
Father
,
the
Lord
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
being
called
by
him
out
of
Darkness
into
his
marvellous
Light
?
And
how
glorious
is
the
Light
that
hath
appeared
upon
our
Tabernacle
,
and
shined
in
our
hearts
,
and
that
hath
led
us
in
the
Way
of
Peace
,
and
taught
us
in
the
Path
of
Righteousness
:
Thus
,
and
much
more
hath
the
hand
of
the
Lord
wrought
for
us
,
having
raised
us
up
to
be
a
Poeple
,
that
in
times
past
were
not
a
people
;
but
now
he
hath
formed
us
for
himself
,
and
created
us
for
his
praise
,
having
gathered
us
as
a
Shepherd
doth
his
Flock
from
our
strayed
estate
,
in
which
we
were
strangers
and
afar
off
,
inhabiting
in
death
and
darkness
,
but
now
raised
up
to
sit
together
in
heavenly
places
,
and
to
feed
in
the
fat
pastures
of
his
fulness
that
filleth
all
in
all
.
This
hath
been
effected
by
the
Hand
and
Power
of
the
most
High
,
who
hath
also
preserved
us
unto
this
day
through
many
tryals
and
tribulations
;
and
again
and
again
,
when
our
enemies
have
risen
up
against
us
to
destroy
us
,
even
then
hath
the
Lord
been
our
defence
,
and
confounded
our
Persecutors
,
so
that
we
yet
live
,
blessed
be
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
the
remembrance
of
which
infinite
tender
Mercies
from
the
Father
,
that
we
have
received
,
have
a
Heavenly
influence
upon
my
heart
at
this
time
,
which
causeth
me
to
say
,
What
manner
of
Love
is
this
!
Oh
the
hight
,
and
depth
,
and
infiniteness
of
the
same
!
the
Beauty
thereof
hath
ravished
my
heart
,
the
Strength
thereof
hath
overcome
me
,
and
the
Vertue
thereof
hath
overcome
me
,
and
the
Vertue
thereof
hath
filled
my
Soul
:
And
this
is
the
present
frame
of
my
spirit
;
full
of
Love
and
Good-will
to
the
Lord
God
,
and
to
all
his
Saints
,
and
particularly
unto
you
,
unto
whom
my
spirit
desireth
in
the
Lord
the
increase
of
Peace
,
and
Mercies
,
and
Blessings
,
and
all
Heavenly
Vertue
unto
you
all
,
for
I
am
under
particular
Engagements
unto
you
more
then
unto
many
.
1.
Because
my
labour
and
service
in
the
work
of
the
Gospel
hath
been
more
amongst
you
then
amongst
others
;
even
for
divers
years
have
I
been
conversant
among
you
,
in
the
administration
of
the
gift
of
the
Gospel
,
by
dispensing
the
Word
of
Life
,
to
the
Converting
of
some
,
and
to
the
Strengthning
and
Confirming
of
others
in
the
way
of
the
Lord
.
And
let
the
Just
God
bear
witness
of
that
faithfulness
,
and
integrity
and
sincerity
of
heart
,
in
which
he
hath
carried
me
amongst
you
,
while
many
precious
dayes
I
have
passed
away
with
you
,
and
have
not
sought
yours
but
you
;
nor
do
I
desire
ought
concerning
you
,
but
your
Faithfulness
to
the
Lord
,
and
your
growth
and
establishment
in
the
Wisdom
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
that
blessings
and
Peace
may
ever
rest
with
you
.
And
seeing
it
is
thus
,
that
some
of
my
precious
years
in
the
service
of
God
have
been
spent
amongst
you
;
therefore
is
my
heart
and
spirit
engaged
to
you-wards
,
even
while
I
live
,
to
advise
you
,
and
exhort
you
,
and
to
pray
for
you
,
that
you
may
be
sound
in
the
Faith
,
and
established
in
the
Truth
,
and
Confirmed
in
the
Possession
that
never
fades
away
.
2.
In
respect
of
that
place
of
your
outward
Residence
,
(
that
great
City
I
mean
)
where
Satans
Seat
is
,
and
where
wickedness
abounds
,
and
many
temptations
and
provocations
which
may
attempt
to
draw
you
from
the
Lord
;
I
do
know
the
dangers
are
many
which
may
easily
be
met
withall
in
that
place
;
There
is
both
the
love
,
glory
and
excellency
of
this
World
near
unto
you
;
and
also
the
terrours
,
threats
,
losses
and
persecutions
of
this
evil
World
even
dwelling
with
you
,
all
which
may
work
upon
some
many
fears
and
doubts
,
and
begat
temptations
to
the
denying
of
the
Lord
;
and
seeing
the
danger
is
such
to
you-wards
in
that
place
,
even
more
then
to
some
others
,
therefore
is
my
soul
engaged
to
admonish
,
and
instruct
,
and
Pray
for
your
preservation
unto
the
end
,
that
ye
may
walk
as
the
Lords
,
and
to
his
glory
.
3.
And
also
my
desires
are
for
you
,
that
blessings
and
Peace
may
be
multiplied
unto
you
,
and
that
you
may
walk
in
the
Wisdom
and
Power
of
the
Lord
in
this
respect
,
that
Truth
may
be
honoured
,
and
crown'd
with
dominion
and
Authority
,
and
good
report
in
that
great
City
,
by
your
faithfulness
,
and
patience
,
and
diligence
,
and
all
the
fruits
of
righteousness
;
for
as
many
temptations
do
attend
you
(
as
I
have
said
before
)
so
also
many
eyes
are
upon
you
,
beholding
what
you
are
,
and
what
you
do
,
and
what
will
become
of
you
;
and
if
you
Walk
in
Faithfulness
and
Righteousness
,
and
be
preserved
unto
the
Lord
in
boldness
and
valour
for
his
Names
sake
,
this
will
magnifie
the
Truth
,
and
crown
it
with
honour
,
and
strengthen
and
comfort
many
that
are
weak
,
and
be
a
joy
to
all
the
upright
;
and
it
will
confound
your
Enemies
,
and
put
them
to
shame
,
and
limit
the
unreasonable
spirit
of
the
power
of
darkness
,
when
our
enemies
see
your
just
,
faithful
,
righteous
and
inoffensive
manner
of
walking
in
all
things
.
And
therefore
for
this
cause
,
my
heart
is
engaged
to
pray
for
you
,
seeing
the
eyes
of
many
are
upon
you
to
mark
your
wayes
and
doings
,
and
what
will
be
the
end
.
And
now
,
dearly
beloved
,
as
by
the
free
grace
and
kindness
of
God
ye
are
called
unto
this
Calling
,
and
are
renewed
and
changed
into
the
Life
of
Righteousness
;
so
it
is
by
the
same
Grace
and
Power
of
the
Father
,
that
ye
must
stand
and
be
preserved
unto
the
end
;
for
by
Grace
and
Faith
we
all
stand
,
even
through
Diligence
,
Faithfulness
,
and
Watchfulness
in
the
same
Grace
,
being
obedient
unto
its
teachings
,
and
fruitful
in
its
motions
,
and
walking
by
its
Rule
,
in
meekness
and
lowliness
of
heart
,
in
sincerity
and
godly
Fear
,
not
being
or
doing
any
thing
of
our selves
,
distinct
or
divided
from
this
Grace
;
but
being
and
doing
all
things
,
through
the
Grace
of
God
dwelling
in
us
;
and
this
is
the
highest
Perfection
of
Saints
.
Every
ones
highest
state
admits
of
Watchfulness
,
and
Faithfulness
,
and
Obedience
,
and
to
Hearken
to
the
Lord
,
and
do
his
Will
in
all
things
;
and
whatsoever
is
of
our selves
,
and
related
to
the
outward
World
,
may
be
kept
in
Subjection
by
his
Power
,
that
he
alone
may
Rule
,
and
be
exalted
in
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
in
all
things
,
what
we
are
,
and
what
we
do
.
And
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
that
ye
may
be
established
and
settled
in
the
Truth
,
and
that
ye
may
be
confirmed
therein
forever
,
as
being
natural
Heirs
of
the
possession
of
Grace
and
Truth
,
to
do
,
and
walk
,
and
live
according
to
his
will
,
being
so
inherited
never
to
go
forth
any
more
;
and
able
to
say
,
Nothing
can
separate
us
from
the
Love
of
God
,
not
Death
,
nor
Life
,
nor
any
other
thing
.
For
I
would
put
you
in
mind
,
and
ye
also
know
it
,
How
that
many
have
been
touched
in
their
Heart
with
the
sense
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Love
,
yea
,
and
many
have
enjoyed
of
the
good
Gift
of
God
,
and
walked
with
us
for
a
time
,
that
have
not
remained
unto
the
End
;
but
have
started
aside
from
the
Lord
,
and
been
overcome
with
the
Temptations
of
this
World
,
even
to
the
forsaking
of
the
Way
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
;
and
such
have
dishonoured
the
Lord
,
and
forfeited
their
Peace
and
Inheritance
in
God
,
and
become
hardened
in
their
Hearts
,
and
dead
to
God
,
and
the
Latter-end
of
such
hath
been
worse
then
their
Beginning
;
though
yet
for
a
time
such
walked
with
us
,
and
tasted
of
the
good
Gifts
of
God
,
yet
are
become
Reprobate
,
because
their
Hearts
have
not
been
firm
,
and
constant
,
and
sound
,
and
approved
to
God
;
but
of
an
Evil
Frame
and
Temper
of
Spirit
,
Ambitious
,
Vain-glorious
,
Self-seeking
,
and
such
like
,
which
spirit
could
not
retain
the
Gift
of
God
,
but
abused
it
,
and
perverted
it
from
it
proper
End
.
And
therefore
,
dearly
beloved
,
it
is
exceeding
precious
to
have
a
Heart
and
Spirit
tryed
and
approved
of
the
Lord
;
a
good
and
honest
Heart
,
an
upright
and
contrite
Spirit
;
for
that
will
abide
in
Faithfulness
unto
God
through
all
Tribulations
and
Tryals
;
if
the
Heart
be
right
in
the
sight
of
God
,
whatsoever
the
Knowledge
be
,
or
whether
the
Gifts
be
little
or
great
,
yet
the
Lord's
Presence
is
there
,
and
such
are
blessed
:
so
that
it
s
not
enough
only
to
have
a
touch
and
taste
of
the
Loving
kindness
of
God
;
but
every
one
must
be
established
therein
,
in
an
approved
Heart
and
tryed
Spirit
,
which
can
endure
all
things
,
and
not
be
shaken
nor
moved
;
and
its
only
that
kind
of
Spirit
,
which
is
Meek
and
Lowly
,
Sincere
and
Upright
,
which
is
established
in
the
Truth
,
and
which
only
can
remain
unmovable
.
And
according
to
the
ancient
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
which
ye
have
believed
,
every
one
must
look
to
your
own
particular
standing
,
and
must
feel
your
own
particular
Joy
,
Peace
and
Comfort
,
and
must
receive
the
assurance
of
Life
in
your
own
Souls
;
for
it
is
an
Everlasting
Word
:
Every
one
must
stand
by
their
own
,
by
what
they
feel
and
enjoy
of
Eternal
Life
in
their
own
Hearts
,
that
only
is
every
ones
Security
and
Assurance
in
the
Kingdom
of
Peace
and
Glory
:
And
it
is
the
height
of
Perfection
,
To
have
the
Seal
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
our
Consciences
,
witnessing
to
us
,
That
we
are
the
Lord's
;
and
Blessed
are
they
that
have
this
Testimony
,
even
that
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
,
which
is
the
Everlasting
Comforter
against
all
Sorrow
;
and
the
Perfect
Seal
against
all
Doubts
,
and
the
sure
Guide
against
all
Opposition
:
This
is
the
Office
of
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
and
its
Work
in
the
Hearts
of
his
Children
.
Therefore
my
Advice
is
to
you
,
as
from
the
beginning
,
Look
to
your
own
,
to
your
own
Measure
of
the
Gift
of
Grace
and
Truth
;
that
only
stands
,
when
all
Wandrings
after
men
and
things
fall
;
and
in
that
is
your
security
,
as
I
have
said
.
And
let
your
Conversations
and
Walkings
be
such
as
becometh
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
in
all
Faithfulness
and
Righteousness
,
that
you
may
be
an
Honour
to
the
Lord
in
your
Generation
;
for
this
only
have
we
to
do
in
this
World
,
even
to
shew
forth
his
Praise
and
Glory
,
who
hath
created
us
in
Christ
Jesus
.
All
things
in
relation
to
Truth
are
well
in
these
Cou●…ies
;
the
Dominion
of
Truth
is
set
up
over
the
Heads
of
the
Wicked
,
and
it
is
a
Terror
to
its
Enemies
,
and
the
Joy
of
all
Good
men
;
and
Friends
are
Faithful
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
look
over
this
World
,
to
the
World
that
hath
no
End
,
and
their
Hope
and
Confidence
is
in
that
;
and
Meetings
are
generally
quiet
,
and
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
is
amongst
his
People
.
And
thus
to
the
Grace
,
Power
and
Wisdom
of
the
Lord
God
are
ye
committed
,
who
is
the
only
Preserver
of
his
Children
.
Grace
and
Peace
be
with
you
all
.

THE
CASE
Of
the
People
called
QUAKERS
(
ONCE
MORE
)
Stated
&
Published
TO
THE
WORLD
:
With
the
ACCUSATIONS
charged
upon
them
,
and
their
ANSWERS
.
WE
are
an
afflicted
and
Suffering
People
in
these
Kingdoms
at
this
day
;
Mocked
,
Reproached
,
Haled
before
Magistrates
,
Violently
abused
,
and
Imprisoned
,
and
much
Hard-dealing
exercised
upon
us
:
This
is
apparently
visible
to
all
people
,
and
needs
no
further
Proof
.
But
whether
these
Afflictions
and
Sufferings
,
Imprisonments
and
Hard-dealing
,
be
Just
,
or
Unjust
,
according
to
our
Deserts
,
or
out
of
the
Malice
and
Enmity
of
our
Adversaries
;
this
is
the
Question
to
be
enquired
into
:
Unjust
,
and
Unrighteous
,
and
out
of
Malice
and
Enmity
;
and
not
of
true
Desert
(
say
we
)
are
these
Sufferings
imposed
on
us
.
But
,
Justly
,
and
according
to
Desert
,
and
the
Laws
of
the
Land
(
say
our
Adversaries
)
Who
shall
be
judge
in
the
Case
between
us
?
Even
the
Law
of
God
,
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
the
Example
of
Primitive
Christians
,
our
Neighbours
,
and
the
Witness
in
every
Mans
Conscience
;
and
to
the
Judgment
of
all
these
we
appeal
,
and
shall
abide
their
Sentence
.
First
,
We
are
Accused
of
an
Heinous
Crime
,
and
as
if
we
deserved
the
greatest
Punishments
,
Because
we
are
Dissenting
and
Differing
from
the
Church
of
England
,
and
cannot
Conform
to
all
Her
Worships
and
Ceremonies
;
therefore
are
we
said
to
be
Hereticks
:
Because
holding
and
practizing
Different
Things
from
Her
,
&c.
Plea
.
First
,
The
Scriptures
of
Truth
(
which
are
according
to
both
Law
and
Gospel
)
do
say
and
Judge
,
That
they
who
sometimes
did
Dissent
,
and
Differ
from
some
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
in
some
Principles
and
Practices
and
could
not
practice
in
all
things
,
what
some
others
did
,
as
Romans
14.
where
it
is
signified
,
That
some
of
the
Church
of
Christ
believed
they
might
eat
All
Things
;
some
others
of
the
Church
did
eat
Hearbs
,
some
esteemed
One
day
above
Another
,
others
esteemed
Every
day
Alike
;
this
kind
of
dissenting
,
and
difference
,
about
Meats
,
and
Dayes
,
and
Ceremonies
,
were
amongst
the
Members
of
the
True
Church
;
but
What
is
the
Judgment
of
Scripture
in
this
case
of
Difference
amongst
them
?
Not
that
the
Dissenters
one
from
another
should
be
Punished
,
and
Imprisoned
,
and
Banished
,
but
ver.
5.
Let
every
man
be
perswaded
in
his
own
mind
.
And
One
was
not
so
much
as
to
Judge
Another
in
this
case
of
Difference
,
and
Dissenting
;
much
less
to
Imprison
one
another
for
that
Cause
.
And
in
Phil.
3.
15.
it
is
there
signified
,
That
if
any
persons
were
dissenting
,
and
different
in
Judgment
,
or
in
the
growth
in
Grace
,
from
the
rest
of
the
Church
,
every
one
was
to
walk
in
that
measure
of
Truth
,
as
he
had
attained
to
;
And
if
any
were
otherwise-minded
,
(
viz.
Different
in
the
Growth
in
the
Grace
of
God
)
then
God
should
reveal
the
same
unto
them
;
And
notwithstanding
their
difference
in
Judgment
,
whether
in
cases
Substantial
,
or
Ceremonial
,
yet
,
they
were
still
to
be
in
Love
and
Unity
,
and
walk
in
their
measures
,
to
which
they
had
atained
,
and
they
were
not
to
be
Imprisoned
and
persecuted
,
as
we
are
at
this
day
:
Hence
observe
,
That
the
Judgment
of
Scriptures
,
which
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Christ
are
according
to
,
is
clear
for
us
,
and
against
them
that
hate
us
,
that
imprison
us
,
and
afflict
us
,
for
dissenting
and
differing
in
some
Doctrines
,
and
Practices
,
from
the
Church
of
England
.
But
Secondly
,
If
we
were
indeed
Hereticks
,
and
Erroneous
People
;
suppose
so
,
which
never
yet
was
truly
proved
of
us
,
nor
can
be
;
What
Judgment
do
the
Scriptures
(
which
are
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Christ
)
give
in
that
case
?
Not
that
we
should
be
thus
imprisoned
,
and
Afflicted
,
with
corporal
punishments
;
but
according
to
Titus
,
Tit.
3
10
,
11.
we
should
first
be
Admonished
in
Love
,
and
Exhorted
once
and
again
;
and
then
,
if
we
gain-say
,
and
will
not
hear
Reproof
,
to
be
Rejected
,
cast
Out
,
and
Denyed
of
the
Assembly
of
Saints
;
but
not
imprisoned
,
and
banished
:
and
according
to
1
Cor.
5.
where
it
is
signified
,
That
some
,
in
the
denomination
of
the
Church
,
did
Offend
against
Christ
and
the
Church
,
and
were
Hereticks
,
and
Dissenters
,
because
of
their
Evil
deeds
,
from
the
True
Church
;
yet
,
these
were
not
to
be
imprisoned
,
and
persecuted
in
their
persons
,
but
delivered
unto
Satan
for
the
destruction
of
the
Flesh
,
that
the
Spirit
might
be
saved
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
;
they
were
to
be
Spiritually
dealt
withal
;
and
they
were
to
be
cast
out
into
the
Wicked
World
,
anong
the
Ungodly
,
to
have
their
portion
from
God
,
with
the
Wicked
,
to
be
delivered
to
Satan
for
the
destruction
of
the
Flesh
,
that
it
might
be
destroyed
,
and
the
Spirit
saved
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
.
So
,
if
we
were
indeed
such
as
these
were
,
Dissenters
,
and
in
Difference
from
the
true
Church
,
because
of
some
Wickedness
,
yet
the
Judgment
of
Scriptures
are
against
our
Enemies
in
this
Case
,
who
persecute
and
imprison
us
;
for
thus
it
ought
not
to
be
done
unto
us
,
if
the
Church
of
England
were
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
and
we
in
difference
from
her
,
by
False
Principles
,
or
Evil
Conversation
,
or
any
thing
else
.
Thus
you
see
the
Judgement
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
of
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Christ
,
is
against
our
Persecutors
.
Thirdly
,
But
suppose
we
doubt
,
That
the
Church
of
England
,
and
its
Ordinances
,
Discipline
,
its
Worship
and
Ceremonies
,
be
not
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
but
are
in
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
without
the
Power
;
suppose
we
in
Conscience
believe
this
,
and
think
we
can
prove
it
,
which
is
the
very
truth
of
the
Case
,
and
therefore
do
deny
Conformity
to
her
,
lest
we
should
sin
against
God
,
and
wrong
our
own
Consciences
,
at
least
,
as
we
believe
.
What
Judgment
doth
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Christ
,
give
in
this
Case
?
We
are
Exhorted
and
Comanded
in
Scripture
,
2
Tim.
3.
From
Covetous
Men
,
and
Proud
Men
,
Lovers
of
themselves
,
false
Accusers
,
Despisers
of
them
that
are
Good
,
High-minded
Men
,
and
Lovers
of
Pleasures
,
they
that
have
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
deny
the
Power
,
from
all
such
we
are
to
turn
away
.
And
therefore
we
believe
we
are
Justified
by
the
Scriptures
in
turning
away
for
these
divers
years
past
(
and
till
we
be
otherwise
perswaded
by
sound
Doctrine
)
from
the
Ministry
and
Churches
that
are
in
England
,
or
lately
have
been
(
and
sound
Reason
hath
not
been
yet
shewed
us
to
the
contrary
by
you
)
because
they
are
such
as
the
Scriptures
exhort
us
to
turn
away
from
;
and
because
we
have
judged
,
that
they
have
had
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
not
the
Power
;
so
we
are
not
to
be
imprisoned
and
persecuted
though
we
differ
,
and
dissent
,
and
turn
away
from
all
them
that
are
Covetous
,
Proud
,
Boasters
,
Lovers
of
themselves
Despisers
of
them
that
are
Good
,
High
minded
Men
,
and
such
as
have
a
form
of
godliness
,
but
not
the
Power
.
But
we
are
Judged
Just
,
and
our
Case
not
condemned
by
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
by
the
holy
Scriptures
,
but
rather
such
as
inflict
Sufferings
upon
us
:
And
for
any
of
our
Principles
and
Doctrines
that
we
hold
,
we
deserve
no
punishment
nor
persecution
,
because
hereof
;
for
we
testify
before
God
,
Angels
and
Men
,
That
we
hold
and
maintain
,
no
principles
of
Religion
,
nor
practice
of
Worship
,
nor
Doctrines
of
Gospel
,
but
what
are
according
to
Scriptures
of
Truth
.
And
we
are
ready
to
be
tryed
,
and
proved
in
that
case
,
and
to
bring
the
matter
to
Issue
,
in
fair
proceedings
with
any
man
,
that
shall
object
the
contrary
;
And
thus
the
Judgment
of
Scriptures
are
for
us
,
as
we
suppose
(
at
least
)
and
if
we
are
in
Errour
,
either
by
denying
any
thing
on
the
one
hand
,
or
affirming
any
thing
on
the
other
,
we
have
not
been
hitherto
,
well
Proceeded
against
,
in
order
to
our
Conviction
.
Secondly
,
We
are
accused
as
for
a
great
Crime
,
and
Imprisoned
,
because
we
meet
together
,
in
the
Name
and
Power
of
Iesus
Christ
,
to
wait
upon
him
,
and
to
Worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
in
Prayer
to
God
,
and
Exhortations
one
to
another
,
to
Righteousness
and
Holiness
:
But
,
what
Iudgment
doth
the
Law
and
Gospel
,
and
holy
Scriptures
give
,
and
our
Neighbours
also
,
between
us
in
this
Case
?
Le
ts
come
all
to
their
Barr
and
receive
Iust
Sentence
.
Plea
.
First
,
The
Judgment
of
God's
Law
,
Christ's
Gospel
and
holy
Scriptures
,
are
not
against
our
meeting
together
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
do
command
us
,
and
Exhort
us
,
with
promises
of
blessings
,
to
meet
together
in
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
to
wait
upon
him
;
And
it
was
the
practice
of
the
primitive
Christians
,
to
assemble
themselves
together
,
in
that
form
and
manner
as
we
do
at
this
day
,
(
to
wit
)
in
a
private
manner
,
and
separate
from
the
multitude
,
and
all
the
Iews
Synagogues
,
as
in
Acts
1.
17.
The
Saints
and
Disciples
,
both
Men
and
Women
,
to
the
number
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
,
(
which
were
far
more
then
five
)
went
into
an
upper
Chamber
,
being
a
private
place
,
and
no
publique
Synagogue
,
and
their
waited
upon
the
Lord
in
Prayer
and
Supplication
,
according
as
we
do
at
this
day
:
Thus
the
Scriptures
justify
the
way
and
manner
of
our
Meetings
,
and
condemns
them
not
.
Again
,
in
Acts
20.
8.
the
Saints
and
Disciples
were
gathered
together
in
an
upper
Chamber
,
and
Paul
Preached
unto
them
until
mid-night
.
Here
was
a
private
Meeting
,
far
above
the
number
of
five
and
out
of
any
Publick
Synagogues
;
and
Christ
Iesus
said
,
Where
two
or
three
are
met
together
in
my
Name
,
there
I
am
in
the
midct
of
them
.
And
He
and
his
Disciples
,
often
met
together
in
private
places
,
apart
from
the
Jews
publick
Worships
,
sometimes
in
a
Ship
,
and
sometimes
in
Desarts
,
and
on
the
Mountains
,
and
in
particular
Houses
,
and
Preached
,
and
Prayed
;
this
the
Scriptures
Prove
.
And
also
;
in
Heb.
10.
25.
we
are
expresly
commanded
,
not
to
neglect
the
Assembling
of
our selves
together
,
but
to
exhort
one
another
and
so
much
the
more
as
the
day
approached
.
By
all
which
Scriptures
,
with
many
more
that
might
be
quoted
,
it
is
Evident
to
all
the
World
,
That
our
meeting
together
for
the
Worship
of
God
,
in
that
form
and
manner
as
Practised
by
us
,
is
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
the
Gospel
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
the
holy
Scriptures
:
And
all
these
give
Just
Judgment
for
us
,
and
Justify
us
,
and
therefore
consequently
condemn
such
as
do
violence
to
us
,
for
this
practise
of
Meeting
together
,
for
the
Worship
of
God
.
And
thus
,
though
we
are
Accused
and
Imprisoned
as
Evil
doers
,
yet
,
such
our
practise
of
meeting
is
manifestly
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
Gospel
of
Christ
,
Scriptures
,
Example
of
Saints
,
and
President
of
primitive
Christians
;
all
which
give
Judgment
for
us
.
Secondly
,
What
Judgment
do
our
Neighbours
give
in
this
Case
?
they
say
,
concerning
our
Meetings
,
That
they
have
known
us
to
meet
together
in
such
manner
,
for
diverse
years
,
in
their
Towns
and
Villages
,
and
never
knew
,
nor
understood
of
any
harm
or
danger
herein
,
nor
ever
were
any
way
prejudiced
,
either
in
their
Persons
or
Estates
,
by
our
meetings
.
The
very
witness
of
God
in
all
our
Neighbours
do
Testify
,
and
give
Iudgment
,
that
our
Meetings
have
alwayes
been
peaceable
and
quiet
,
and
that
we
come
together
in
peace
and
good
order
,
and
parted
in
the
same
,
and
no
person
hath
been
harmed
by
such
our
Meetings
;
enquire
of
the
Nighbourhood
,
and
they
will
tell
you
,
they
believe
in
their
Consciences
,
our
Meetings
are
for
good
,
and
have
good
effects
,
and
are
not
evil
,
nor
brings
forth
any
evil
to
any
.
And
as
for
the
manner
of
our
Meeting
and
and
sitting
together
,
it
's
orderly
and
decently
,
and
of
good
report
among
men
;
and
for
any
Doctrine
that
ever
was
there
held
,
or
heard
by
any
,
none
can
truly
accuse
it
to
be
either
Error
,
or
Heresie
,
or
Sedition
;
but
on
the
contrary
,
they
know
it
witnesseth
against
all
Sin
and
Iniquity
,
and
tends
to
the
turning
of
people
from
Ungodliness
and
Unrighteousness
,
to
Truth
and
Holiness
:
And
many
can
tell
,
this
is
effected
,
by
our
Doctrine
Preached
in
our
Meetings
;
and
our
Neighbours
can
witness
,
that
we
part
again
in
Peace
and
Good
order
,
and
in
convenient
time
;
and
they
can
shew
you
,
they
are
not
terrified
,
nor
the
peace
of
the
Land
disturbed
(
on
our
part
)
by
our
Meetings
,
which
are
in
God's
fear
,
and
to
the
Glory
of
his
Name
,
which
all
sober
men
know
,
are
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Gospel
,
and
primitive
Christians
Example
.
And
thus
our
Neighbours
give
Judgment
for
us
,
and
in
their
Consciences
do
not
Justify
them
that
Imprison
us
,
for
this
matter
of
meeting
together
,
which
Gods
Law
,
Gospel
,
Scriptures
,
and
our
Neighbours
,
do
thus
clearly
justifie
.
Thirdly
.
We
are
Accused
,
as
guilty
of
a
heinous
Crime
,
and
Imprisoned
,
Because
we
refuse
to
Swear
at
all
,
or
take
any
Oath
in
any
Case
.
Plea
.
First
,
The
Judgment
of
the
Law
of
the
New
.
Testament
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
Scriptures
in
this
case
,
is
clear
on
our
behalf
.
As
in
the
express
Command
of
Christ
,
in
his
Law
and
Scriptures
Recorded
,
Mat.
5.
where
he
saith
,
Swear
not
at
all
,
by
Heaven
,
nor
Earth
,
nor
by
Ierusalem
,
nor
by
the
Head
;
but
,
let
your
yea
,
be
yea
,
and
your
nay
,
nay
;
for
whatsoever
is
more
comes
of
Evil.
And
again
,
Iam.
5.
the
Apostle
commandeth
the
Saints
in
these
words
,
Above
all
things
my
Brethren
,
Swear
not
,
by
Heaven
,
nor
Earth
,
nor
any
other
Oath
.
And
many
holy
Martyrs
since
the
Apostles
dayes
did
deny
all
Swearing
.
Thus
you
see
,
the
Judgment
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
of
the
Gospel
,
and
of
the
Apostle
,
and
of
Scriptures
,
are
so
far
from
Condemning
of
us
to
Imprisonment
and
Banishment
,
for
our
refusing
to
Swear
,
that
we
are
Commanded
and
Exhorted
by
them
,
not
to
Swear
at
all
;
and
therefore
consequently
,
justify
us
in
our
refusing
to
Swear
;
and
thus
,
give
not
Judgment
for
such
as
do
Imprison
and
Persecute
us
for
not
Swearing
.
Come
to
the
Judgment
of
Christ
,
his
Gospel
,
and
holy
Scriptures
;
Let
you
and
us
appear
together
be
fore
their
Judgment
Seat
,
whether
they
give
judgment
against
us
,
that
deny
all
Swearing
,
or
against
you
,
that
Imprison
us
for
that
Cause
:
And
let
the
Lord
God
,
Angels
and
just
Men
,
give
their
Judgment
in
this
Case
;
we
a
poor
Afflicted
people
,
do
appeal
to
you
,
for
just
Sentence
of
Judgment
,
between
us
and
our
Opponents
.
Secondly
,
Let
our
Neighbours
,
give
their
Judgment
,
though
we
do
refuse
to
take
any
Oath
,
because
of
the
Commands
of
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
as
aforesaid
;
yet
,
what
harm
hath
this
ever
yet
been
to
any
of
our
Neighbours
,
let
them
speak
;
or
what
detriment
ought
this
to
be
to
any
of
them
,
they
will
tell
you
:
Though
we
cannot
formally
take
an
Oath
,
yet
we
are
ready
at
all
times
to
do
the
Truth
,
and
to
speak
it
on
all
good
occasions
,
as
much
as
if
we
did
Swear
upon
a
Book
;
and
they
can
trust
us
upon
our
words
,
as
much
,
if
not
more
,
then
they
can
do
any
that
Swear
upon
their
Oaths
;
and
therefore
they
shall
give
judgment
,
that
according
to
their
best
knowledge
,
we
ought
not
to
be
Imprisoned
and
Banished
;
though
we
cannot
Swear
formally
upon
a
Book
,
being
the
Truth
is
not
suppressed
,
nor
yet
the
administration
of
justice
ought
to
be
obstructed
for
our
refusing
to
Swear
.
Thus
the
Neighbourhood
bears
witness
for
us
,
and
against
such
as
deal
hardly
by
us
,
and
Persecute
us
because
hereof
.
Fourthly
,
We
are
accused
as
Heinous
Offenders
,
and
imprisoned
,
because
't
is
supposed
,
We
do
not
submit
to
obey
the
known
Laws
of
the
Land
,
but
break
them
,
and
will
not
conform
to
the
Church
,
pay
Tythes
,
take
Oaths
,
leave
meeting
together
,
&c.
though
we
know
the
Laws
of
the
Land
command
these
things
.
Plea
,
First
,
As
to
submitting
to
all
known
Laws
of
the
Land
;
this
is
known
to
God
and
our
Neighbours
,
that
our
Principle
and
Practice
is
,
and
ever
hath
been
,
to
submit
to
every
Government
,
and
to
submit
to
all
Laws
of
men
,
either
by
doing
or
by
suffering
,
as
at
this
day
,
we
resist
not
the
greatest
of
Afflictions
and
Tribulations
that
can
be
imposed
on
us
;
and
this
is
well
known
to
our
Neighbous
and
all
People
,
that
we
are
submissive
to
all
Laws
of
Men
,
by
patient
Suffering
without
Resistance
,
even
when
any
Law
requires
any
thing
of
us
which
we
cannot
perform
for
Conscience
sake
,
that
Law
we
fulfil
by
patient
suffering
,
resisting
no
man
,
no●
rendring
Evil
for
Evil
to
any
.
And
the
Judgment
of
the
Scriptures
,
which
are
according
to
both
Law
and
Gospel
,
and
the
Presidents
of
Saints
justifie
us
in
this
Case
,
in
chusing
patiently
to
suffer
the
greatest
Penalties
of
the
Law
,
rather
than
to
obey
by
doing
any
such
Law
,
as
requires
things
contrary
to
our
pure
Consciences
;
as
in
the
Example
of
the
Three
Children
,
Dan.
3.
who
were
commanded
,
To
fall
down
and
worship
the
Golden
Image
,
at
what
time
soever
they
heard
the
sound
of
the
Musick
,
upon
the
Penalty
of
being
cast
into
the
midst
of
the
burning
Fiery
Furnace
:
which
Commandment
they
could
not
obey
,
nor
could
Truth
fall
down
to
worship
the
Image
;
but
rather
chused
to
suffer
the
Penalty
of
being
cast
into
the
midst
of
the
burning
Fiery
Furnace
,
which
accordingly
was
done
unto
them
.
Again
,
in
the
Case
of
Daniel
,
chap.
6.
who
was
commanded
,
To
make
no
Petition
to
any
God
or
man
for
Thirty
Dayes
,
save
to
King
Darius
,
upon
the
Penalty
and
Affliction
of
being
cast
into
the
Lyons
Den
:
But
Daniel
did
rather
chuse
to
suffer
the
Penalty
,
to
be
cast
into
the
Den
of
Lyons
,
than
to
obey
the
Commandment
;
and
was
cast
into
the
Lyons
Den.
By
these
Examples
of
holy
Men
,
with
many
more
that
might
be
given
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
't
is
evident
,
That
Righteous
Men
will
rather
chuse
to
suffer
,
than
to
obey
any
Law
of
Men
contrary
to
their
Consciences
.
So
the
Law
of
God
,
and
Example
of
Saints
,
and
holy
Scriptures
give
Judgment
for
us
in
this
Case
,
of
rather
chusing
to
suffer
,
than
to
obey
Laws
contrary
to
our
Consciences
;
and
consequently
must
needs
condemn
such
that
Persecute
and
Imprison
us
,
because
they
require
Obedience
of
us
in
Things
against
our
Consciences
.
Secondly
,
Though
we
do
disobey
Laws
,
and
cannot
actively
obey
every
Law
of
man
,
when
it
requireth
and
commandeth
things
contrary
to
a
good
Conscience
;
yet
herein
also
are
we
justified
,
by
the
Law
of
God
,
Example
of
Saints
,
and
holy
Scriptures
,
and
they
give
Judgement
for
us
,
and
consequently
against
our
Enemies
in
this
Case
;
and
in
particular
in
the
two
Examples
before
mentioned
in
Daniel
,
the
Three
Children
were
expresly
commanded
,
To
fall
down
and
worship
the
Golden
Image
;
and
Daniel
was
also
required
by
the
King's
Decree
,
Not
to
pray
to
any
God
or
Man
,
save
to
King
Darius
;
yet
all
these
Holy
Men
of
God
did
absolutely
disobey
the
Law
and
Decree
so
requiring
of
them
,
and
did
contrary
to
the
Commandment
;
for
the
three
Children
did
not
how
,
nor
Daniel
cease
to
pray
to
his
God
,
but
prayed
as
at
other
times
,
and
yet
were
justified
of
God
in
so
doing
.
Also
,
the
Apostles
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
(
Acts
4.
18.
)
were
commanded
,
To
Preach
no
more
in
the
Name
of
Iesus
;
but
the
Apostles
did
disobey
their
Commandment
,
and
went
on
and
preached
in
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
Christ
,
contrary
to
the
Commandment
of
the
Rulers
,
and
appealed
to
them
.
Whether
it
were
not
better
to
obey
God
than
man
?
Many
Examples
we
might
collect
out
of
the
Scriptures
,
that
the
Servants
of
God
did
disobey
the
Commands
of
Kings
and
Rulers
,
and
could
not
obey
(
by
doing
)
any
Command
contrary
to
God
;
but
rather
choosed
to
suffer
Afflictions
,
and
Death
it self
,
than
to
obey
such
Laws
and
Decrees
,
as
required
any
thing
contrary
to
a
pure
Conscience
;
and
this
is
our
case
at
this
day
,
we
cannot
obey
(
by
doing
)
any
thing
against
our
Consciences
,
but
must
break
the
Laws
of
men
,
and
disobey
their
Commandments
,
rather
than
break
the
Law
of
God
,
and
sin
against
their
own
Consciences
,
whatsoever
we
suffer
because
hereof
;
and
yet
the
Examples
of
Saints
and
Scriptures
justifie
us
in
this
behalf
.
And
let
all
our
Enemies
cease
to
cry
out
,
Rebellious
and
Disobedient
to
Laws
and
Government
▪
for
we
are
not
such
as
do
wilfully
and
obstinately
disobey
any
Laws
of
Men
,
but
for
Conscience
sake
,
and
that
we
may
not
sin
against
God
,
nor
offend
his
Witness
in
us
;
therefore
we
cannot
obey
Laws
contrary
to
our
Consciences
,
whatsoeve●
we
suffer
,
which
we
resist
not
,
nor
rebel
against
any
in
this
Case
:
So
that
our
Principles
and
Practices
are
to
obey
every
Law
and
Government
,
either
by
Doing
,
or
Suffering
.
And
though
we
disobey
such
Laws
as
are
not
according
to
the
Law
of
God
,
and
rather
do
chose
to
suffer
;
yet
herein
we
are
justified
by
the
Law
of
God
,
and
the
holy
Scriptures
.
Thirdly
,
And
as
for
our
Conversations
among
men
,
in
respect
of
our
daily
walking
and
converse
with
them
in
our
dealing
,
in
respect
of
Honesty
and
Faithfulness
,
and
Truth
,
and
Justness
in
Works
and
Words
;
our
Neighbours
shall
give
Witness
for
us
:
We
will
not
justifie
our selves
,
't
is
God
that
justifies
us
,
and
the
Law
of
God
,
Gospel
of
Christ
,
Scriptures
,
Examples
of
Holy
Men
,
our
Neighbours
,
and
the
Witness
of
God
in
all
mens
Consciences
,
shall
bear
witness
to
us
;
And
all
these
do
give
Judgement
for
us
in
these
Cases
,
to
whom
we
do
appeal
for
Judgment
.
And
,
O
Lord
God
Everlasting
,
do
thou
judge
our
Cause
;
do
thou
make
it
manifest
in
thy
due
Season
to
all
the
World
,
that
we
are
thy
People
,
that
we
Love
thee
above
all
,
that
we
fear
thy
Name
more
than
all
,
that
we
love
Righteousness
and
hate
Iniquity
;
and
that
we
now
suffer
for
thy
holy
Name
and
Truth
,
and
for
thy
Honour
and
Iustice
,
and
for
thy
Truth
and
Holiness
:
O
Lord
,
thou
knowest
we
are
resolved
to
Perish
,
rather
than
to
lose
one
Grain
hereof

Our
Accusations
and
Answers
truly
compared
,
and
weighed
in
the
Ballance
of
Justice
and
Truth
in
every
mans
Conscience
,
let
all
the
World
judge
of
the
Case
▪
Do
we
deserve
to
be
Ruined
,
Destroyed
,
Imprisoned
and
Banished
,
and
that
to
be
devoured
of
Wild
Beasts
,
as
our
Enemy
threatens
us
he
will
do
?
Is
it
so
?
Are
we
Hereticks
?
Are
we
Seditious
?
Are
we
Drunkards
?
Are
we
Double-dealers
?
are
we
such
as
the
Law
of
God
condemns
?
what
Evil
have
we
done
in
the
Land
?
do
we
hurt
any
Body
?
are
we
not
Innocent
before
the
Lord
&
men
?
we
appeal
to
the
just
Witness
of
God
and
Men
,
let
it
be
answered
;
and
though
no
man
will
hear
and
consider
our
Cause
this
Day
,
yet
the
Lord
will
plead
our
Cause
in
his
Time
and
Season
,
and
make
the
World
to
know
,
We
are
his
People
;
in
the
mean
time
we
are
willing
to
suffer
the
Reproaches
of
Ungodly
Men
,
till
the
Lord
works
Deliverance
in
the
Earth
.
But
now
it
may
be
objected
by
the
Magistrates
and
Rulers
,
That
we
have
now
a
Law
against
you
,
and
you
must
suffer
;
for
we
cannot
but
put
the
Law
in
Execution
,
according
to
our
Oaths
and
Offices
;
and
it
is
not
we
that
persecute
you
,
but
it
is
the
Law
of
the
Land
by
which
you
now
suffer
;
and
we
cannot
be
blamed
for
your
suffering
,
we
only
Execute
the
Law
.
And
after
this
manner
is
the
Reasoning
of
some
at
this
day
,
&c.
Answ.
To
all
which
I
do
Answer
;
It
is
true
,
there
is
a
Law
now
Enacted
against
us
,
which
is
pretendedly
made
the
ground
of
our
Suffering
;
but
whether
that
Law
be
in
it self
Just
,
or
Unjust
,
I
shall
not
now
demonstrate
,
but
shall
leave
it
to
the
Judgment
of
all
Christian
Men
,
that
know
us
,
our
Principles
,
Doctrines
,
Wayes
and
Conversations
,
and
let
them
judge
whether
we
deserve
the
Penalties
and
Punishments
therein
described
,
for
any
Principle
or
Practice
held
and
maintained
by
us
.
And
though
there
be
a
Law
against
us
,
yet
the
Magistrates
that
are
Executors
thereof
,
may
execute
the
same
with
Moderation
or
with
Violence
,
with
Discretion
,
or
too
much
Rigour
;
and
it
will
be
well
for
them
to
use
Moderation
and
Discretion
in
this
Case
:
Hereby
may
they
save
themselves
from
that
weight
of
Anger
and
Indignation
of
the
Lord
God
,
that
will
come
upon
all
Violent
Doers
,
who
seek
to
destroy
the
Innocent
,
and
Rejoyce
in
the
Occasion
administred
.
And
though
this
Law
be
Enacted
against
our
Meetings
;
not
ours
,
I
may
say
,
but
such
Meetings
as
are
Dangerous
to
the
publick
Peace
,
and
to
the
Terror
of
the
People
:
But
our
Meetings
are
not
such
,
and
therefore
this
Law
may
not
justly
extend
in
its
Execution
to
the
breaking
of
our
Meetings
,
nor
to
Banish
us
because
of
our
Meeting
together
,
which
is
for
the
Worship
of
God
,
and
are
Peaceable
and
of
good
Report
among
all
good
Men
;
and
are
not
for
Disturbance
of
the
Peace
,
nor
Terror
of
the
People
,
and
therefore
justly
free
from
this
Law
,
as
aforesaid
.
And
though
this
Law
is
pretended
against
us
,
for
to
Banish
us
,
and
to
rid
the
Land
of
us
,
as
some
vainly
suppose
;
Yet
,
must
it
needs
be
executed
to
the
height
of
it
,
without
Limitation
or
Restriction
?
Must
this
Law
be
Executed
to
its
height
more
than
some
other
Laws
,
that
are
as
truly
Enacted
,
and
as
fully
in
Force
as
this
Act
can
be
:
Yet
some
such
Laws
there
are
,
which
better
deserve
Execution
than
this
,
yet
they
lie
dormant
,
as
is
visibly
apparent
at
this
day
,
as
in
4
Iac.
cap.
5.
in
these
words
,
Be
it
Enacted
,
&c.
That
all
,
and
every
Person
or
Persons
,
which
after
Forty
Dayes
next
following
the
end
of
this
present
Session
of
Parliament
,
shall
be
Drunk
,
and
of
the
same
Offence
of
Drunkenness
shall
be
lawfully
convicted
,
shall
for
every
such
Offence
forfeit
and
lose
Five
Shillings
,
&c.
to
be
paid
to
the
hands
of
the
Church
Wardens
of
that
Parish
where
the
Offence
shall
be
committed
,
who
shall
be
accountable
therefore
to
the
use
of
the
Poor
of
the
same
Parish
.
And
if
the
said
Person
or
Persons
so
convicted
,
shall
refuse
or
neglect
to
pay
the
said
Forfeiture
,
then
the
same
shall
be
levied
of
the
Goods
of
every
such
Person
or
Persons
,
by
Warrant
of
Precept
from
the
Court
,
Iudge
,
or
Iustices
,
before
whom
the
same
conviction
shall
be
:
And
if
the
Offender
be
not
able
to
pay
the
sum
of
five
shillings
,
then
he
shal
be
committed
to
the
Stocks
for
the
space
of
Six
Hours
.
I
pray
you
read
the
Statute
at
large
,
't
is
worth
a
sober
mans
pains
to
read
over
,
and
then
judge
whether
that
Law
be
duly
execued
at
this
day
;
and
also
,
whether
it
deserves
not
more
strict
Execution
than
the
present
Act
against
us
.
Also
the
1
Iac.
cap.

in
these
words
,
That
all
Persons
calling
themselves
Schollers
,
going
about
Begging
;
all
idle
Persons
going
about
in
any
Country
,
either
Begging
,
or
using
any
subtil
Craft
,
or
unlawfull
Games
or
Plays
,
or
faigning
themselves
to
have
knowledge
in
Physiognomy
,
or
pretending
that
they
can
tell
Fortunes
,
or
such
other
like
phantastical
Imaginations
;
all
Fencers
,
Bearwards
,
Common-Players
of
Interludes
and
Minstrels
,
wandring
abroad
,
shall
be
taken
,
adjudged
and
deemed
as
Rogues
,
Vagabonds
,
and
sturdy
Beggars
;
and
shall
suffer
such
Pains
and
Punishments
as
is
expressed

(
viz.
)
That
every
such
Person
shall
be
stripped
Naked
from
the
Middle
upwards
,
and
shall
be
openly
Whipped
until
His
or
Her
Body
be
Bloody
,
&c.
and
shall
be
forth-with
sent
from
Parish
to
Parish
,
&c.
And
read
the
Statute
at
large
,
and
then
consider
how
duly
it
is
Executed
now
,
and
whether
it
deserves
not
the
Execution
as
much
as
the
late
Act
against
us
,
though
in
some
places
the
one
is
more
executed
than
the
other
;
where
many
of
our
Friends
,
being
honest
sober
Persons
,
and
of
good
Conversation
,
and
yet
are
haled
out
of
their
Meetings
,
where
they
are
met
only
to
Worship
God
,
and
for
no
other
End
,
and
●sent
to
Prison
;
and
persecuted
to
the
very
height
of
the
said
Act
;
whenas
idle
Persons
,
following
unlawful
Games
,
and
Playes
and
Bearward
,
Common-Players
of
Interludes
and
Minstrels
of
divers
kinds
,
do
wander
up
and
down
City
and
Country
,
and
having
their
Play-Houses
publick
,
where
their
Wickedness
is
acted
;
such
Persons
,
and
such
things
,
though
appearing
publickly
,
yet
are
permitted
,
and
little
or
no
notice
taken
of
them
by
some
of
the
Magistrates
,
so
as
to
punish
them
for
Breach
of
the
Laws
,
for
the
preventing
of
these
Evils
:
But
such
Wickedness
is
too
much
suffered
,
though
there
be
divers
Acts
of
Parliaments
against
such
Persons
and
such
Actions
,
as
well
as
there
is
one
against
our
Meetings
,
yet
the
Act
against
us
is
more
put
in
Execution
some
Places
for
the
breaking
of
out
Meetings
,
which
are
for
the
Worship
of
God
,
than
the
good
Laws
for
suppressing
Wickedness
,
though
there
is
better
Law
for
the
one
than
for
the
other
.
Divers
other
Laws
and
Statutes
made
for
good
Ends
,
for
the
suppressing
of
Wickedness
in
the
Land
,
there
are
,
which
are
but
easily
Executed
at
this
day
;
but
here
is
one
Act
against
Peaceable
meeting
together
for
the
Worship
of
God
,
which
is
violently
prosecuted
and
executed
upon
Innocent
Men
;
and
let
all
just
Men
judge
of
these
things
:
Though
there
be
a
Law
Enacted
against
our
Meetings
,
so
there
is
against
Drunkards
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Unreasonable
Tippling
in
Taverns
and
Ale-Houses
,
and
against
Minstrels
,
Fiddlers
,
Pipers
and
Players
,
Common-Players
and
Stage-Players
,
that
go
up
and
down
the
Countries
,
and
have
their
Play-Houses
in
publick
Cities
,
which
Statutes
ought
rather
to
be
Executed
,
though
they
are
not
:
But
these
things
we
shall
leave
to
all
sober
People
to
judge
of
.
And
seeing
that
the
Law
against
us
is
more
put
in
Execution
,
than
these
other
Laws
,
it
doth
appear
,
That
there
is
more
Envy
against
us
,
and
our
Peaceable
Religious
Meetings
,
than
there
is
against
Prophaneness
and
Wickedness
,
Drunkenness
and
Stage-Playing
,
and
such
like
;
and
such
Magistrates
,
wheresoever
they
are
,
are
not
excusable
in
the
Sight
of
God
,
though
there
is
a
Law
against
us
,
while
they
prosecute
it
against
us
,
and
not
these
other
good
Laws
against
Prophane
and
Ungodly
Persons
and
Practices
;
And
therefore
seeing
we
do
suffer
,
we
must
say
,
It
is
not
only
because
there
is
a
Law
against
us
;
but
it
is
also
,
or
rather
,
Because
there
is
Enmity
,
and
Wrath
and
Wickedness
in
the
Hearts
of
Men
against
us
,
which
is
the
main
Cause
of
our
Sufferings
at
this
day
.
And
let
the
Magistrates
compare
this
Law
,
made
against
us
,
with
that
Saying
in
Doctor
and
Student
,
Chap.
2.
speaking
concerning
the
Law
written
in
the
Heart
,
teaching
every
man
what
is
to
be
done
,
and
what
is
to
be
fled
;
And
(
saith
he
)
Because
it
is
written
in
the
heart
,
therefore
it
may
not
be
put
away
,
nor
is
it
ever
changable
by
any
diversity
of
place
,
or
time
;
And
therefore
against
this
Law
,
Prescription
,
Statute
nor
Custom
may
not
prevail
;
and
if
any
be
brought
in
against
it
,
they
be
not
Prescriptions
,
Statutes
,
nor
Customs
,
but
things
void
,
and
against
justice
,
and
all
other
Lawes
;
as
well
the
Law
of
God
,
as
the
Acts
of
Men
,
ought
to
be
grounded
upon
the
Law
written
in
the
Heart
.
And
in
cap
4.
of
the
same
it
s
said
;
Every
mans
Law
must
be
consonant
with
the
Law
of
God
,
and
therefore
the
Lawes
of
Princes
,
the
Commandements
of
Prelates
,
the
Statutes
of
Commonalties
,
nor
yet
the
Ordinances
of
the
Church
are
not
Righteous
,
nor
Obligatory
,
but
as
it
is
consonant
to
the
Law
of
God
.
And
we
are
sure
the
Law
of
God
and
holy
Scriptures
do
justifie
our
Meeting
together
,
as
afore
is
expressed
.
Also
in
the
Statute
28.
Hen.
8.
chap
7.
it
is
said
in
these
words
,
That
no
man
,
of
what
Estate
,
Degree
,
or
Condition
soever
he
be
,
hath
Power
to
dispence
with
Gods
Lawes
,
as
all
the
Clergy
of
this
Realm
,
and
the
most
part
of
all
the
Universities
of
Christendom
.
And
we
also
Affirm
,
and
think
these
things
truly
compared
one
with
another
,
We
leave
them
to
the
Judgment
of
the
Law
of
God
,
Gospel
of
Christ
,
holy
Scriptures
,
and
our
Neighbours
;
and
let
Truth
determine
:
So
be
it
.
