THE
SERPENT
TRACED
,
AND
HIS
DECEITS
BY
THE
TRUE
LIGHT
Discovered
and
made
manifest
,
That
the
simple
ones
may
be
warned
,
and
escape
his
snares
.
GReat
is
the
mystery
of
godliness
,
not
known
to
the
World
nor
Worldly
Wisdom
,
though
many
there
have
been
in
ages
past
,
as
there
are
in
this
age
,
who
have
made
large
and
fair
pretences
,
and
talked
much
of
God
,
and
his
Way
and
Worship
,
and
of
his
Ordinances
,
drawing
near
to
God
with
their
lips
and
mouths
,
but
their
hearts
afar
off
,
having
got
a
litteral
and
formal
knowledge
,
but
strangers
to
the
life
and
power
:
The
mysterie
and
secrets
of
God
hath
been
hid
,
and
is
hid
from
that
Wisdom
which
is
below
,
earthly
,
and
sensual
;
and
no
people
upon
the
earth
,
under
what
name
or
form
soever
they
be
,
by
all
their
Wit
and
Wisdom
,
Learning
,
and
studied
Inventions
,
can
find
out
the
mystery
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
for
it
is
sealed
and
hid
from
all
the
Sons
of
Adam
,
who
be
in
the
transgression
,
drove
out
from
God
and
his
pure
presence
,
and
are
aliens
and
strangers
from
the
true
knowledge
of
God
:
Yet
notwithstanding
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
out
of
his
goodness
and
tender
love
unto
mankind
,
to
send
his
Son
into
the
World
,
a
Light
,
a
Leader
,
and
a
Teacher
,
to
lead
the
sons
and
daughters
of
Adam
out
of
sin
and
transgression
,
and
to
reconcile
them
unto
God
again
,
in
pure
union
and
fellowship
,
to
rejoice
in
his
love
,
and
by
him
alone
is
salvation
brought
,
and
his
light
hath
shined
forth
unto
all
,
and
the
Grace
of
God
that
brings
salvation
,
hath
appeared
unto
all
men
,
without
respect
of
persons
,
and
it
was
by
him
alone
that
salvation
was
wrought
in
all
ages
,
before
Letter
or
Writing
was
;
and
he
is
the
same
at
this
day
,
whose
Name
is
called
the
Word
of
God
,
which
liveth
and
abideth
for
ever
;
he
is
Alpha
and
Omega
,
the
beginning
and
the
end
,
and
his
appearance
is
terrible
to
the
wicked
,
and
hath
been
hated
and
opposed
by
the
wicked
generation
,
in
whom
the
Wicked
one
,
the
old
Serpent
did
rule
;
and
according
to
his
promise
made
of
old
,
he
is
risen
in
his
might
and
power
,
that
he
may
accomplish
his
Fathers
Will
,
and
do
his
Work
,
which
is
to
deface
the
Devils
Kingdom
;
for
for
this
end
&
purpose
was
the
Son
of
God
manifest
,
That
he
might
deface
the
Works
of
the
Devil
,
which
makes
the
Devil
to
rage
and
swell
,
and
stir
up
his
Agents
in
whom
he
bears
rule
,
and
musters
up
his
forces
to
make
War
with
the
Lamb
,
and
with
those
who
are
his
followers
,
who
bear
his
image
of
truth
and
innocency
,
as
at
this
day
is
manifest
in
England
,
and
other
parts
.
It
hath
pleased
the
Lord
in
his
goodness
and
mercy
,
to
appear
in
power
,
glory
and
praises
to
his
Name
for
evermore
;
and
through
his
righteous
judgements
which
are
sweet
and
precious
,
hath
he
purified
and
gathered
unto
himself
a
holy
and
a
peculiar
people
,
in
whom
he
will
be
glorified
,
and
hath
made
his
mighty
power
manifest
in
them
and
amongst
them
,
which
hath
made
proud
flesh
to
tremble
,
and
the
Earth
to
shake
,
to
the
wonder
and
astonishment
of
many
,
as
it
hath
been
in
times
past
;
the
Workings
of
God
hath
been
wonderful
and
strange
to
the
World
,
and
carnal
and
formal
professors
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
;
a
mighty
Work
hath
the
Lord
begun
in
England
,
and
many
by
his
power
are
made
to
leave
off
their
vile
courses
,
and
vain
conversations
,
and
by
the
Grace
of
God
are
taught
to
live
soberly
and
righteously
,
which
makes
the
Beast
to
rage
,
and
formal
professors
even
to
gnaw
their
tongues
because
they
can
no
longer
be
hid
,
nor
their
hypocrisie
discovered
,
but
by
true
light
is
made
manifest
,
and
the
deceits
of
the
formal
Worshippers
discovered
,
which
makes
many
to
scoff
,
and
scorn
and
reproachfully
give
unto
the
servants
of
the
Lord
(
who
fear
his
Name
,
and
tremble
at
his
Word
)
the
Nick-Name
of
Quakers
,
and
under
that
Name
revile
them
,
jeer
them
,
mock
and
scoff
,
beat
and
imprison
many
of
them
;
and
most
sorts
of
people
(
professors
especially
)
cry
out
of
Error
and
Heresie
,
Blasphemy
and
Delusion
,
and
all
manner
of
evil
Names
do
cast
upon
the
Innocent
,
filling
the
ears
of
people
with
such
foul
and
and
filthy
reports
,
both
by
Word
and
Writing
,
that
many
people
though
they
be
not
satisfied
in
the
Way
that
they
have
long
walked
in
,
yet
because
of
the
reports
and
slanders
which
are
cast
upon
the
people
of
God
,
they
are
afraid
to
come
too
near
for
fear
of
being
deceived
;
though
it
be
the
advice
and
counsel
of
the
Apostle
to
try
all
things
,
and
to
hold
fast
that
which
is
good
.
Now
that
no
simple
honest
hearts
may
be
discouraged
because
of
the
reproaches
and
accusations
which
are
cast
upon
the
Innocent
,
I
shall
as
I
have
freely
received
of
the
Lord
,
so
freely
impart
unto
others
,
that
they
may
be
imboldned
to
come
to
hear
and
try
,
and
with
chearfulness
confess
the
truth
,
not
fearing
what
man
can
do
unto
them
;
it
is
no
new
thing
for
the
truth
to
be
evil
spoken
of
,
and
to
be
called
Sect
,
and
the
Way
Heresie
,
and
the
true
professors
and
enjoyers
thereof
to
be
called
Seducers
and
Deceivers
,
and
their
Names
cast
out
as
evil
;
these
things
are
but
a
fulfilling
of
Christs
Words
,
and
the
Apostles
Words
;
for
saith
Christ
,
Ye
shall
be
hated
of
all
men
for
my
Names
sake
;
and
the
Apostle
saith
,
That
all
that
will
live
godly
in
Christ
Jesus
shall
suffer
persecution
.
I
know
(
and
have
a
Cloud
of
Witnesses
to
testifie
with
me
)
That
in
all
ages
,
when
,
or
wheresoever
the
truth
did
break
forth
,
it
hath
been
opposed
,
and
the
true
Ministers
there
of
hated
and
persecuted
,
not
only
by
the
brutish
and
heathenish
people
,
who
made
little
or
no
profession
of
God
,
but
chiefly
by
the
great
,
strict
,
and
zealous
professors
,
who
have
gotten
a
form
and
likeness
of
truth
,
but
want
the
power
;
for
it
hath
been
the
Work
of
the
subtile
Serpent
in
all
ages
to
oppose
the
pure
Truth
,
though
to
cover
his
deceits
he
hath
lurked
under
a
coloured
profession
of
the
truth
,
and
so
by
his
Wiles
and
Deceits
hath
deceived
the
hearts
of
the
simple-minded
ones
.
And
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
(
according
to
his
Divine
Wisdom
)
to
lead
his
people
by
degrees
,
and
giving
them
Food
,
and
feeding
them
with
meat
,
according
as
they
were
able
to
digest
it
;
and
though
he
be
but
one
,
eternal
and
infinite
in
Wisdom
and
Counsel
,
and
his
living
Way
and
Worship
but
one
;
yet
according
to
the
capacity
of
men
he
hath
come
down
,
and
in
several
administrations
and
dispensations
his
Way
and
Worship
hath
been
held
forth
;
and
divers
Statutes
,
Commandments
,
and
Ordinances
have
been
given
forth
by
his
Commission
by
his
faithful
Servants
,
which
have
been
outward
,
as
Types
Figures
,
and
Shadows
of
more
glorious
and
heavenly
things
;
which
Statutes
and
Ordinances
,
though
they
were
but
weak
and
low
,
yet
being
observed
from
true
simplicity
and
uprightness
of
heart
,
the
Lord
did
accept
of
those
things
;
but
the
Serpent
being
subtile
and
cunning
,
by
his
wiles
draws
away
the
hearts
and
affections
of
the
people
from
the
love
of
the
Creator
,
into
the
love
of
fading
things
,
as
the
riches
and
treasures
of
the
World
,
and
yet
profess
the
true
God
in
words
,
and
cry
up
his
Statutes
and
Ordinances
,
as
though
they
had
been
the
people
of
God
;
but
this
was
not
well-pleasing
in
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
,
but
grieved
his
spirit
,
and
commits
his
Word
to
some
that
was
despised
amongst
those
professors
,
and
those
things
which
once
he
gave
forth
as
his
Commands
and
Ordinances
,
to
be
practised
by
his
servants
,
have
been
declared
against
,
and
those
that
practised
them
,
and
then
whom
the
Lord
hath
thus
sent
hath
been
persecuted
,
and
looked
upon
to
be
deceivers
and
blasphemers
,
and
such
as
denyed
the
commands
of
God
,
by
those
who
had
the
form
of
Words
.
And
thus
I
see
in
the
light
of
the
Lord
,
how
the
Servants
and
Messengers
of
the
Lord
from
time
to
time
(
in
the
day
and
time
of
their
testimony
)
have
been
hated
and
persecuted
;
and
yet
after
their
decease
the
Serpent
hath
twined
and
gotten
into
their
shape
and
likeness
,
as
to
outward
appearance
,
but
still
hath
stood
against
the
life
and
power
,
as
it
is
at
this
day
in
England
,
and
other
parts
:
The
innocent
despised
ones
of
Christ
,
in
whom
his
pure
and
harmless
life
is
manifested
,
are
reproached
and
reviled
,
and
spoken
against
as
a
people
denying
the
Ministers
,
Church
,
and
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
when
indeed
and
truth
they
have
nothing
justly
to
charge
against
them
;
but
their
upright
and
just
lives
both
in
the
sight
of
God
and
man
,
doth
condemn
these
gain-sayers
;
for
the
Ministers
,
Church
,
Ordinances
,
and
Commandments
whatsoever
mentioned
in
Scriptures
,
in
their
time
and
place
we
own
them
,
and
practise
all
the
Ordinances
and
Commandments
which
tends
to
love
and
edification
,
according
to
Gospel-Ministration
,
and
Worship
of
God
in
spirit
,
accordingly
as
we
are
moved
,
guided
and
led
by
the
spirit
,
not
daring
to
act
any
thing
of
our selves
except
moved
and
led
thereunto
by
the
spirit
;
for
such
who
run
and
act
things
in
their
Wills
,
not
being
led
thereunto
by
the
movings
of
the
Spirit
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
it
is
but
a
self-obedience
,
and
righteousness
which
the
Prophet
of
the
Lord
compares
to
filthy
rags
,
and
menstruous
clothes
,
and
it
is
a
running
before
the
Lord
,
and
such
runs
into
error
,
sects
,
and
divisions
,
and
are
in
confusion
,
and
not
in
union
and
love
,
but
in
strife
and
enmity
one
against
another
,
and
against
the
life
and
power
of
truth
wheresoever
it
is
made
manifest
;
and
as
long
as
strife
and
enmity
is
in
the
minds
of
people
,
all
the
profession
of
the
Scriptures
,
and
their
crying
up
of
Ordinances
and
Commandments
will
not
cover
them
,
nor
bring
peace
nor
rest
unto
their
souls
.
And
this
I
see
to
be
amongst
professors
of
all
sorts
,
pride
,
and
vain
glory
,
and
conforming
to
the
World
,
and
respecting
persons
,
and
seeking
honor
one
of
another
,
and
true
love
is
wanting
,
and
grown
cold
,
which
is
the
cause
of
all
this
striving
,
[
wrangling
,
and
contention
about
Religion
;
and
so
people
professing
the
Scriptures
,
and
not
being
led
thereunto
by
light
and
spirit
within
,
they
are
confused
and
divided
,
and
falls
out
about
the
meaning
of
Scriptures
,
and
so
breaks
into
partyes
,
one
cryes
,
Lo
here
is
Christ
;
another
cryes
,
Lo
there
;
and
so
people
have
long
and
many
years
been
tossed
to
and
fro
by
following
mens
Inventions
and
Imaginations
,
and
have
not
found
him
whom
their
souls
longs
after
,
but
have
for
many
years
been
seeking
,
and
have
spent
their
money
for
that
which
is
not
Bread
,
and
their
labour
for
that
which
doth
not
satisfie
;
and
now
when
the
time
is
come
that
the
Lord
according
to
his
promise
is
visiting
his
people
,
and
making
his
Power
manifest
amongst
them
,
and
shedding
forth
his
love
in
the
hearts
of
many
,
drawing
them
with
the
Cords
thereof
,
out
of
divisions
,
strivings
,
contentions
,
and
from
the
many
Wayes
,
Sects
,
and
Opinions
,
into
peace
and
love
into
the
one
Way
,
and
pure
spiritual
Worship
,
that
they
may
with
oneness
of
heart
,
and
singleness
of
mind
,
glorifie
and
praise
his
holy
Name
.
And
this
the
Lord
hath
done
for
us
,
he
is
come
nigh
unto
us
;
and
dwelleth
in
us
,
and
is
become
our
God
,
and
we
are
his
people
,
and
we
can
say
in
truth
,
That
this
is
our
God
whom
we
have
waited
for
,
his
own
Arm
hath
brought
salvation
;
and
he
is
a
God
at
hand
,
to
instruct
us
,
and
teach
us
in
his
Way
,
and
to
lead
us
in
the
path
of
Righteousness
;
and
we
cannot
own
any
filthy
or
ungodly
practises
,
but
are
made
in
the
strength
and
power
of
God
to
give
our
testimony
against
it
,
where
we
see
it
appearing
and
breaking
forth
,
as
there
is
much
of
it
amongst
this
generation
,
as
ever
was
amongst
any
people
;
the
streets
are
like
Sodome
and
Gomorrah
,
iniquity
as
a
flood
runneth
down
the
Streets
,
and
the
Name
of
the
Lord
is
daylie
dishonored
by
this
wicked
and
ungodly
generation
,
which
grieves
our
righteous
souls
day
by
day
,
that
for
Sions
sake
we
cannot
hold
our
peace
,
but
are
made
to
declare
what
the
Lord
hath
done
for
us
,
and
against
the
evil
of
this
generation
;
and
to
warn
them
to
repent
and
turn
from
darkness
to
the
true
light
,
and
there
to
wait
upon
God
in
the
light
,
and
give
diligent
ear
to
the
voice
of
the
spirit
,
that
so
by
it
you
may
be
guided
and
led
into
the
true
Way
and
Worship
of
God
;
and
this
is
no
delusion
nor
error
,
but
that
which
the
Servants
and
Messengers
of
God
did
bear
witnesse
unto
,
and
that
which
the
Lord
did
desire
and
call
for
,
even
truth
in
the
inward
parts
;
and
this
many
hath
long
professed
and
waited
for
;
and
now
when
it
is
come
and
made
manifest
in
,
and
to
many
,
because
it
is
not
in
their
way
,
and
according
to
their
expectation
,
therefore
do
they
(
as
that
generation
of
professors
ever
did
)
cry
out
against
it
as
error
and
delusion
;
but
as
I
have
said
,
it
is
no
new
thing
,
for
the
appearance
of
Christ
hath
bin
hated
and
opposed
in
former
generations
,
as
it
is
now
in
this
generation
,
by
those
who
had
a
formal
profession
of
God
and
his
Ordinances
,
but
were
not
in
the
life
and
power
,
as
we
have
many
examples
in
the
Scriptures
of
truth
:
As
for
example
;
In
the
time
of
the
Law
,
under
Moses
Administration
,
divers
Ordinances
,
Statutes
,
and
Commandments
were
given
forth
,
which
were
outward
,
as
Law
outward
written
in
Tables
of
Stone
,
Sabbath
outward
,
Temple
and
Priests
,
and
several
Offrings
and
Sacrifices
,
and
Circumcision
,
and
many
other
outward
things
,
which
were
given
forth
as
Commends
of
God
,
and
were
to
be
observed
and
done
,
which
observations
and
services
being
practised
from
truth
within
,
&
uprightnesse
of
heart
,
were
accepted
of
the
Lord
,
however
they
were
imperfect
,
&
did
not
purifie
nor
make
the
comers
thereunto
perfect
,
as
pertaining
to
the
conscience
,
but
a
necessity
there
was
of
a
further
and
a
more
pure
and
spiritual
administration
;
but
those
who
did
turn
from
the
Lord
in
their
hearts
,
and
were
not
upright
before
him
,
though
they
drew
near
unto
him
with
their
lips
and
mouths
,
and
multiplyed
their
Offerings
and
Sacrifices
,
crying
,
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
,
yet
they
being
in
their
sins
,
and
thereby
provoked
the
Lord
,
he
sent
his
servants
the
Prophets
to
testifie
against
them
,
as
you
may
read
Isa
.
1.
ch
.
and
likewise
the
last
chap.
of
Isaiah
,
where
the
Prophet
cryes
down
their
practises
,
and
compares
their
Offerings
and
Sacrifices
to
abominable
things
,
as
to
the
cutting
off
the
Dogs
neck
,
and
offering
of
Swines
blood
,
and
shews
who
was
the
man
whom
the
Lord
did
regard
,
and
had
respect
unto
,
even
he
that
is
of
a
meek
and
of
a
contrite
spirit
,
and
trembles
at
the
Word
of
God
:
Likewise
M●cah
he
saw
through
the
figures
,
and
saith
he
,
Wherewithall
shall
I
come
before
the
Lord
?
&c.
shall
I
come
with
Burnt-offerings
,
with
Calves
of
a
year
old
?
Will
the
Lord
be
pleased
with
thousands
of
Rams
,
or
with
ten
thousands
of
Rivers
of
Oyle
,
&c.
but
saith
he
,
(
as
say
we
now
)
he
hath
shewed
to
thee
,
oh
man
,
what
is
good
,
and
what
doth
the
Lord
require
of
thee
?
but
to
do
justly
,
love
mercy
,
and
to
walk
humbly
with
thy
God
?
The
Prophets
bore
testimony
to
the
upright
life
,
and
saw
the
end
of
the
shadows
,
and
prophesied
of
Christ
the
Substance
,
the
end
of
the
figures
and
shadows
.
And
the
Prophets
,
though
their
Ministration
was
more
glorious
then
Moses
was
,
yet
in
the
time
of
their
prophesie
they
were
hated
,
and
looked
upon
by
the
professors
of
the
Law
,
to
be
deceivers
and
blasphemers
,
and
their
testimony
,
though
true
,
could
not
be
born
,
but
they
were
persecuted
and
killed
.
But
after
the
dayes
of
the
Prophets
,
another
generation
follows
,
and
the
Serpent
being
subtil
and
cunning
,
winds
into
their
affections
,
and
leads
them
into
the
likenesse
and
form
of
the
Prophets
words
,
but
enemies
to
the
Prophets
life
,
as
was
manifest
at
the
coming
of
Christ
,
whom
the
Prophets
prophesied
of
;
that
generation
though
learned
,
and
wise
,
and
expert
in
the
Scriptures
,
Doctors
,
chief
Priests
,
Rulers
of
the
Jews
,
and
learned
Rabbies
,
yet
stood
against
the
Life
,
Christ
Jesus
,
and
called
him
a
Blasphemer
,
&c.
And
strict
they
were
in
their
observations
,
and
professed
high
things
,
even
the
very
same
things
that
Christ
did
;
for
they
said
they
were
of
Abraham
,
and
were
never
in
bondage
to
any
man
,
and
said
God
was
their
Father
,
and
condemned
their
forefathers
,
saying
,
If
they
had
lived
in
their
dayes
,
they
would
not
have
killed
the
Prophets
,
&c.
Now
if
they
had
been
in
life
what
they
professed
themselves
to
be
in
words
,
they
would
have
been
one
in
unity
with
Christ
;
but
having
the
words
without
them
,
and
not
having
the
Word
of
God
abiding
in
them
,
they
were
not
in
unitie
;
but
strongly
in
enmity
against
him
,
and
persecuted
him
even
to
death
,
under
the
name
of
a
Blasphemer
.
And
then
afterward
those
whom
Christ
did
call
and
make
choice
of
to
declare
his
Truth
abroad
in
the
Earth
,
being
cross
to
the
expectation
of
the
learned
,
and
wise
ones
of
the
world
,
they
were
looked
upon
to
be
deceivers
,
and
ignorant
people
that
did
not
know
the
Law
,
and
so
were
persecuted
,
and
many
of
them
suffered
death
,
as
Stephen
who
was
a
true
witnesse
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
of
his
Power
,
and
life
,
whose
Body
was
made
a
Temple
of
God
,
and
so
witnessing
the
substance
denyed
the
shadow
,
and
saith
,
God
dwelleth
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands
,
and
brought
a
Scripture
out
of
the
Prophets
(
whose
words
the
[
Temple
worshipers
]
professed
)
to
convince
them
and
to
bring
them
to
the
true
worship
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
but
his
Testimony
they
did
not
receive
,
but
in
their
stubbornnesse
,
and
wickednesse
rose
up
against
him
,
and
stoned
him
to
death
;
likewise
many
others
of
the
Disciples
and
true
Ministers
,
who
were
made
pertakers
of
the
endlesse
life
,
and
power
of
the
world
to
come
,
they
gave
their
testimony
against
the
Temple
,
and
Priesthood
,
and
Circumcision
,
though
in
their
time
true
commands
of
God
,
yet
the
substance
being
come
Jesus
Christ
the
figures
were
denyed
,
and
true
worship
or
God
in
spirit
witnessed
,
and
the
Bodies
were
the
Temples
of
God
,
and
they
denyed
that
Temple
which
God
commanded
,
which
Solomon
built
,
and
I
do
not
read
in
the
Scriptures
,
that
ever
another
Temple
or
house
was
commanded
to
be
built
to
worship
in
:
So
then
no
sin
to
deny
that
which
God
never
commanded
,
and
thus
the
truth
and
the
servants
of
God
,
and
Jesus
Christ
have
suffered
,
and
been
persecuted
,
for
Paul
was
called
a
pestilent
fellow
,
a
mover
of
sedition
,
a
Ring
leader
of
the
sect
of
the
Nazarenes
:
Truth
was
then
called
Sect
,
and
the
Way
Heresie
,
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
In
that
way
which
they
call
heresie
,
so
worship
I
the
God
of
my
Fathers
,
believing
all
things
which
are
written
in
the
Law
and
Prophets
,
&c.
Thus
through
many
hardships
hath
the
children
and
servants
of
God
passed
,
and
have
been
evilly
entreated
by
the
world
and
carnal
professors
.
And
Christ
Jesus
who
was
so
persecuted
in
his
day
he
foresaw
and
prophesied
of
things
to
come
,
even
of
the
Antichristian
power
of
darkness
which
he
saw
would
arise
,
and
so
gives
a
caution
to
beware
of
false
Prophets
which
should
come
in
sheeps
clothing
,
but
were
inwardly
ravening
Wolves
,
and
so
shews
the
marks
how
they
may
be
known
.
Likewise
the
Apostle
Paul
prophesied
of
a
great
falling
away
,
and
of
grievous
Wolves
that
after
his
decease
would
arise
,
who
through
covetousness
should
make
merchandize
of
souls
,
and
so
gives
an
exhortation
to
Timothy
to
beware
,
and
to
flee
filthy
lucre
,
and
the
love
of
money
,
for
it
is
(
saith
he
)
the
root
of
all
evil
.
Likewise
John
the
beloved
Disciple
,
he
said
they
were
come
,
even
then
,
as
in
his
first
Epistle
is
declared
;
Little
children
(
saith
he
)
you
have
heard
that
Antichrist
shall
come
,
and
even
now
are
there
many
Antichrists
already
in
the
world
,
whereby
we
know
it
is
the
last
time
.
So
that
it
is
evidently
manifest
,
That
the
Doctrine
of
Antichrist
,
and
preaching
for
hire
and
filthy
lucre
,
crept
in
the
time
of
the
Apostles
,
and
begun
to
spread
in
their
dayes
;
and
the
Serpent
wrought
much
,
and
transformed
himself
:
And
(
as
in
former
times
)
many
got
the
form
of
Moses
and
the
Prophets
,
but
the
ground
of
enmity
stood
in
them
,
and
persecuted
Christ
and
the
Apostles
;
so
afterward
many
got
the
form
of
Christs
words
,
and
the
Apostles
,
but
stood
in
enmity
against
the
life
;
and
the
Beast
that
had
got
a
wound
,
as
John
saith
in
the
Revelations
,
his
wound
was
healed
,
and
all
the
World
wondered
and
worshipped
the
Beast
,
and
power
was
given
unto
him
to
make
War
with
the
Saints
,
and
to
overcome
them
;
and
power
was
given
him
over
all
Kinreds
,
and
Tongues
,
and
Nations
,
and
all
that
dwell
upon
the
Earth
shall
worship
him
,
whose
Names
are
not
written
in
the
Book
of
Life
of
the
Lamb
slain
from
the
Foundation
of
the
World
:
If
any
man
hath
an
ear
,
let
him
hear
.
And
after
this
Iohn
beheld
another
beast
coming
up
out
of
the
earth
,
&c.
and
deceiveth
them
that
dwell
upon
the
Earth
,
and
he
causeth
all
,
both
small
and
great
,
rich
and
poor
,
free
and
bond
,
to
receive
a
mark
in
their
right
hands
,
or
in
their
foreheads
,
and
that
no
man
might
buy
and
sell
save
he
that
had
the
mark
or
the
Name
of
the
Beast
:
Let
him
that
hath
understanding
read
and
consider
.
After
all
this
great
Apostacy
and
cloud
of
darknesse
,
Iohn
saw
again
an
Angel
flying
through
the
midst
of
Heaven
,
having
the
everlasting
Gospel
to
preach
to
them
that
dwell
on
the
Earth
,
and
to
every
Nation
,
and
Kinred
,
and
Tongue
,
and
People
,
saying
with
a
loud
voice
,
Fear
God
,
and
give
glory
to
him
,
for
the
hour
of
his
judgement
is
come
;
and
worship
him
that
made
heaven
and
earth
,
and
the
sea
,
and
the
fountains
of
wat●r
;
and
the
Beast
and
the
Lamb
should
make
war
,
and
the
Lamb
and
the
Saints
should
get
the
victory
,
and
rejoice
over
the
Beast
;
and
this
assuredly
the
Lord
in
his
time
will
br●ng
to
pass
,
to
the
glory
of
his
great
and
holy
Name
,
and
to
the
joy
and
comfort
of
all
those
who
in
patience
wait
upon
him
.
Thus
it
hath
been
the
Work
of
Satan
from
time
to
time
,
as
the
truth
did
appear
and
break
forth
in
glory
,
the
Devil
hath
stirred
up
his
Instruments
to
oppose
and
blaspheme
,
and
afterward
hath
got
into
the
outward
shape
and
likeness
,
as
it
hath
been
demonstrated
;
and
since
the
time
of
the
Apostles
,
the
man
of
sin
hath
much
prevailed
,
and
the
Antichristian
power
strongly
wrought
,
whereby
many
have
been
deceived
,
and
wrought
into
the
Image
of
the
Devil
,
to
do
his
lusts
,
and
are
so
far
from
the
Power
of
godlinesse
,
that
they
have
lost
the
true
Form
.
The
Apostles
did
take
up
the
Crosse
and
followed
Christ
,
which
Crosse
was
the
Power
of
God
which
they
preached
,
and
was
thereby
crucified
to
the
World
,
and
to
worldly
pleasures
and
vanities
,
and
were
dead
with
Christ
from
the
rudiments
of
the
World
,
and
could
not
be
subject
to
the
Ordinances
and
weak
Elements
of
the
World
.
The
Pope
and
his
Train
being
ignorant
of
the
true
Crosse
(
the
Power
of
God
)
they
made
a
Picture
of
a
Cross
without
them
,
and
a
likeness
of
Christ
crucified
,
and
this
was
a
carnal
invention
,
inventing
a
carnal
Crosse
,
to
put
the
carnal
in
mind
of
a
Christ
crucified
without
them
;
and
many
other
superfluous
and
superstitious
things
have
been
invented
by
them
;
and
this
deceit
hath
had
a
great
sway
and
power
over
many
(
for
many
ages
)
in
several
Nations
,
as
it
had
in
this
Nation
;
and
though
the
Lord
hath
raised
up
many
and
sundry
Witnesses
against
this
deceit
,
yet
many
of
them
have
suffered
Martyrdom
,
and
sealed
their
testimony
with
their
blood
.
After
this
entered
the
deceitful
subtil
Serpent
,
and
lurked
under
another
colour
of
Episcopacy
,
and
that
grew
so
grosse
that
many
were
made
Witnesses
against
that
deceit
.
After
that
arose
another
likenesse
of
truth
,
appearing
somewhat
more
beautiful
then
the
other
,
but
soon
was
that
beauty
stained
,
and
a
Cloud
came
over
them
,
and
so
grew
riged
,
and
had
the
Name
of
Presbyterians
.
And
several
other
forms
and
likenesses
hath
appeared
,
as
Independents
,
Seekers
,
so
called
,
Baptists
,
Ranters
,
and
some
others
,
though
I
do
not
deny
but
that
there
hath
been
something
stirring
and
working
in
most
of
these
at
their
first
breaking
forth
,
but
not
waiting
in
the
light
,
for
the
Lord
to
lead
them
,
they
have
run
in
the
dark
before
the
Lord
,
and
so
run
into
error
and
confusion
,
as
at
this
day
is
manifest
;
many
poor
souls
are
put
to
a
stand
,
and
some
question
whether
there
be
a
Truth
,
they
have
been
so
tewed
in
mud
and
myre
.
And
out
of
the
midst
of
all
this
darkness
is
light
sprung
up
,
and
of
a
certain
the
Lord
is
risen
,
and
hath
uttered
forth
his
Voice
out
of
his
holy
Temple
,
and
many
have
heard
it
,
and
are
thereby
awakened
out
of
their
deep
sleep
,
and
Christ
hath
given
them
light
whom
the
scorners
call
Quakers
;
and
all
these
sorts
of
Sects
and
Forms
of
Religion
,
so
called
though
they
be
at
variance
amongst
themselves
,
yet
all
of
them
with
one
consent
with
open
mouths
cryes
out
against
these
poor
despised
ones
,
most
of
all
these
several
sorts
writing
and
speaking
against
them
;
the
Presbyters
,
Independents
,
and
others
,
ranking
them
with
the
Papists
,
calling
them
Jesuits
,
Monks
and
Fryars
,
and
such
like
:
The
Papists
they
speak
and
write
against
them
,
and
some
at
this
day
are
Prisoners
under
their
jurisdiction
,
and
in
danger
to
suffer
the
loss
of
their
lives
,
if
the
Lord
do
not
plead
the
cause
of
the
innocent
.
The
Baptists
(
as
some
of
late
in
their
Writings
)
have
ranked
them
with
the
Ranters
,
and
the
Ranters
both
by
speaking
and
writing
have
given
their
testimony
by
scoffing
and
jeering
,
and
such
like
stuff
,
against
the
despised
Quakers
:
And
thus
these
poor
innocent
Lambs
are
pushed
at
on
every
side
with
the
Beast
with
his
many
Horns
,
but
all
is
in
vain
,
I
know
the
Lord
is
on
our
side
,
and
they
shall
not
prevail
with
all
their
strength
,
the
Lamb
shall
get
the
victory
;
the
Lord
is
for
us
,
who
can
be
against
us
?
Salvation
is
our
Walls
and
Bulwarks
,
we
are
armed
with
Truth
,
and
compassed
about
with
righteousnesse
,
and
all
the
fiery
darts
of
the
wicked
cannot
pierce
nor
hurt
us
who
do
abide
in
the
Vine
,
Christ
Jesus
,
Glory
and
honor
,
and
everlasting
praises
be
given
to
the
Lord
God
,
and
the
Lamb
for
evermore
.
Thus
the
Serpent
by
his
wiles
and
Crafts
hath
from
time
to
time
in
former
ages
opposed
the
truth
in
its
breaking
forth
,
but
afterward
hath
followed
in
Imitations
as
it
is
at
this
day
manifest
;
Most
of
the
professing
people
are
ready
to
crie
out
against
persecution
and
rage
in
their
forefathers
,
saying
,
If
we
had
lived
in
the
daies
of
Christ
we
would
not
have
crucified
him
nor
have
persecuted
the
Apostles
:
And
as
some
say
,
if
they
had
lived
in
the
daies
of
the
Martyrs
they
would
not
have
persecuted
nor
killed
them
;
and
yet
now
when
their
time
of
triall
is
come
,
and
the
same
pure
life
of
truth
made
manifest
as
ever
was
,
because
it
is
not
in
their
way
and
according
to
their
expectation
,
they
are
found
in
as
much
rage
and
envie
as
any
of
the
persecutors
of
the
Saints
in
all
ages
;
yea
I
do
verily
beleeve
,
That
if
the
Priests
in
England
,
and
Scotland
(
especially
)
had
but
power
to
execute
what
malice
and
envie
is
in
their
hearts
,
there
would
be
a
more
bloody
day
then
yet
hath
been
:
However
envie
,
and
rage
being
found
in
them
they
are
guiltie
before
the
Lord
;
for
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
He
that
envies
his
Brother
is
a
Murderer
,
and
whether
there
be
not
much
of
this
found
amongst
both
Priests
,
Rulers
,
and
People
,
I
appeal
to
the
Consciences
of
all
,
in
whom
there
yet
remains
any
fear
of
God
to
judge
:
Doth
not
their
fruits
make
them
manifest
?
what
stocking
,
stoneing
,
strikeing
,
whipping
,
hailing
out
of
the
Synagogues
,
buffeting
,
mocking
,
scoffing
and
reproaching
,
hailing
before
Magistrates
,
and
imprisonning
there
hath
been
of
late
yeers
in
England
and
Scotland
and
other
parts
,
of
an
innocent
people
,
who
offer
violence
to
no
man
,
neither
have
any
carnal
weapon
,
but
in
the
nakedness
and
simplicity
of
truth
have
come
amongst
this
generation
of
professors
,
declaring
against
deceit
,
false
waies
,
and
false
worships
,
and
reproving
sin
openly
in
the
gates
,
in
streets
,
and
Markets
,
Towns
,
and
Villages
,
and
publick
places
,
without
respecting
persons
,
or
daubing
with
untempered
morter
,
nor
sowing
Pillows
under
Armholes
,
nor
speaking
peace
to
the
wicked
,
and
for
these
things
and
no
evil
that
they
have
done
,
have
these
innocent
Lambs
been
hurried
and
tossed
,
hailed
and
persecuted
as
I
have
said
,
who
Christian-like
doe
patiently
suffer
without
resisting
,
when
they
are
buffeted
on
one
cheek
can
willingly
turn
the
other
:
and
much
of
this
sort
I
might
mention
,
which
the
gain-sayers
themselves
sometimes
are
made
to
confesse
,
and
acknowledge
:
But
let
us
trie
what
marks
are
these
which
are
found
amongst
this
generation
of
professors
;
is
there
not
envie
and
pride
,
Covetousnesse
and
self-seeking
,
griping
for
the
earth
,
seeking
gain
from
their
Quarter
,
&c.
Is
not
such
things
found
amongst
those
called
Teachers
?
and
is
there
not
strife
and
debate
lying
and
swearing
,
cozenning
and
cheating
,
drunkennesse
revelling
,
and
much
wantonnesse
,
and
such
like
found
amongst
those
who
be
hearers
,
who
have
the
name
of
Christians
?
and
are
these
the
fruits
of
Christianity
?
surely
no
;
for
no
such
plants
doe
grow
in
the
Lords
vineyard
:
wheresoever
envie
is
,
whether
in
Teachers
,
Rulers
,
or
people
,
it
is
a
mark
of
Cain
,
and
not
the
mark
of
a
Christian
:
so
by
their
fruits
you
shall
know
them
.
And
wheresoever
persecution
is
found
under
what
name
or
profession
they
be
who
act
it
,
it
is
a
mark
of
Antichrist
,
and
not
the
mark
of
a
Christian
:
for
the
Christians
were
persecuted
,
but
did
never
persecute
any
:
Again
,
wheresoever
malice
is
found
,
rage
,
lying
,
swearing
,
scoffing
,
scorning
,
drunkennesse
,
whoredomes
,
Murders
,
cozening
and
cheating
,
or
any
other
evil
that
may
or
can
be
mentionned
,
are
marks
of
heathens
,
and
not
the
marks
of
Christians
:
For
the
Christians
life
is
a
pure
,
harmlesse
,
innocent
,
upright
,
just
,
and
perfect
life
,
and
a
high
life
it
is
;
for
the
life
of
Christ
is
the
life
of
every
true
Christian
,
and
I
see
,
that
many
have
the
name
of
Christians
,
but
few
have
the
nature
,
and
this
is
manifest
amongst
this
generation
of
professed
Christians
,
the
Antichristian
powers
of
Darknesse
hath
long
ruled
,
and
reigned
,
and
athick
Cloud
,
and
vail
of
Darknesse
hath
been
over
all
Nations
for
many
years
:
and
in
this
time
of
darknesse
the
Devil
hath
bestirred
himself
,
and
hath
wrought
much
,
and
begotten
many
into
his
Image
and
likenesse
,
he
hath
a
large
Dominion
,
and
hath
many
subjects
and
servants
,
who
be
doing
his
works
,
as
at
this
day
is
manifest
;
are
there
not
many
workers
of
iniquity
?
many
Proud
ones
,
many
covetous
earthly
minded
ones
?
many
Drunkards
,
Swearers
,
Lyars
,
Scoffers
,
Scorners
,
and
such
like
?
these
are
Subjects
,
and
servants
to
the
Prince
of
darknesse
,
though
few
of
them
will
confesse
it
:
So
subtile
is
this
old
Serpent
,
beguiling
simple
hearts
with
a
lip-profession
,
&
talk
of
the
living
and
true
God
while
he
rules
in
their
hearts
,
and
leads
them
captive
at
his
will
to
doe
his
lusts
.
So
every
tree
is
known
by
his
fruits
,
and
every
one
servant
to
him
to
whom
they
yield
their
members
servants
to
obey
,
whether
of
sin
unto
death
,
or
of
obedience
unto
life
:
Every
Child
bears
the
Image
of
him
that
begat
.
The
Children
of
God
who
are
begotten
of
God
bear
the
image
of
God
,
which
is
Righteousnesse
,
and
true
holinesse
:
The
children
of
the
Devil
who
are
of
him
begotten
,
they
bear
the
image
of
the
Devill
,
which
is
unrighteousnesse
,
and
false
and
feigned
shewes
of
holinesse
:
Thus
by
their
fruits
you
shall
know
them
.
There
have
been
many
that
for
many
years
have
pretended
themselves
to
be
spirituall
men
,
and
have
told
people
they
have
sown
spirituall
things
,
and
so
have
beguiled
many
poor
souls
,
and
have
reaped
of
their
carnal
things
,
feeding
upon
the
fat
of
the
Land
;
but
their
seed
which
they
pretended
to
have
sown
,
doth
not
spring
up
,
but
Weeds
,
Bryars
and
Thorns
springs
up
high
and
thick
:
So
it
is
manifest
that
they
have
been
sowing
to
the
flesh
;
and
now
when
the
Lord
is
come
to
view
their
fields
,
and
to
look
for
fruits
,
behold
a
great
Crop
of
corruption
may
be
reaped
,
even
all
their
fields
over
,
Congregations
,
Towns
and
Streets
are
even
overgrown
with
corrupt
Trees
;
the
Earth
is
stained
,
and
the
Air
is
corrupted
with
the
filthy
abominations
that
pours
forth
of
the
old
Bottle
:
So
in
the
light
it
is
manifest
that
deceit
hath
long
reigned
,
and
iniquity
as
a
flood
hath
overflown
the
Earth
,
and
the
Devil
hath
by
usurpation
gotten
a
large
dominion
;
but
glory
&
praises
to
God
on
high
,
the
time
is
come
and
coming
that
he
is
come
to
reign
whose
right
it
is
,
even
the
Son
of
Righteousnesse
with
healing
under
his
Wings
,
to
take
the
honor
and
the
glory
to
himself
,
and
to
destroy
and
cut
down
all
fruitless
Trees
which
cumbers
the
ground
,
and
to
pluck
up
all
the
wild
plants
which
his
heavenly
Father
hath
not
planted
;
and
he
is
fitting
and
preparing
Labourers
to
dress
his
Vinyard
,
and
hath
ordained
many
by
his
spirit
of
power
,
and
sanctified
them
by
his
living
Word
,
and
sent
them
forth
into
the
World
as
Lambs
in
the
midst
of
Wolves
,
and
many
who
have
long
been
professed
Teachers
,
do
now
cry
out
unto
the
people
to
beware
of
false
prophets
,
and
tells
them
that
these
be
the
false
prophets
which
should
come
in
the
last
time
,
and
so
people
believing
their
words
,
are
kept
in
deceit
under
the
dark
power
,
and
deaths
dominion
,
laden
with
sins
,
and
led
away
with
divers
lusts
,
ever
learning
,
but
never
comes
to
the
true
knowledge
of
God
.
But
let
all
people
consider
the
times
and
seasons
,
for
the
false
Prophets
and
Antichrists
crept
in
many
hundred
years
ago
,
and
have
long
and
many
years
deceived
the
people
;
and
now
is
a
day
wherein
the
Lord
is
gathering
his
sheep
from
the
mouths
of
the
false
shepherds
,
according
to
his
promise
prophesied
of
by
the
Prophet
Ezekiel
;
and
though
these
deceivers
do
cry
against
false
Prophets
,
that
is
but
their
craft
to
save
their
own
heads
,
that
people
should
not
question
them
,
like
unto
a
thief
being
pursued
,
cryes
,
Take
the
Thief
;
but
be
sober
,
and
try
them
,
they
are
marked
out
so
plain
,
that
even
he
that
runs
may
read
;
they
cry
out
of
false
prophets
,
and
the
like
,
but
they
do
not
shew
the
marks
of
the
false
prophets
:
They
are
such
as
do
not
stand
in
the
counsel
of
God
,
and
run
,
but
the
Lord
never
sent
them
,
and
so
the
people
are
not
profited
by
them
,
but
spend
time
,
money
and
labour
,
but
are
not
satisfied
,
some
have
learned
twenty
years
,
some
thirty
,
some
fourty
,
some
fifty
,
some
sixty
,
some
more
,
some
lesse
,
but
are
yet
in
their
sins
,
and
so
in
the
alienation
from
God
;
for
sin
is
the
cause
of
separation
and
alienation
from
God
;
your
sins
,
your
sins
have
made
the
separation
between
you
and
me
,
saith
the
Lord
.
So
these
your
Teachers
that
live
in
pride
,
are
out
of
Gods
counsel
,
and
so
cannot
profit
you
;
for
the
Devil
is
King
of
pride
,
and
wo
is
to
the
Crown
of
pride
.
Again
,
those
that
love
money
and
seek
for
great
places
(
which
few
I
believe
are
free
from
these
crimes
)
are
out
of
Gods
counsel
,
and
cannot
profit
people
at
all
,
such
as
be
envious
,
covetous
,
heady
,
high-minded
,
lovers
of
pleasures
,
and
such
like
,
these
are
the
marks
of
the
false
prophets
,
such
as
seek
gain
from
their
quarter
,
which
Isaiah
declared
against
;
such
as
bear
rule
by
their
means
,
which
Ieremiah
cryed
against
;
such
as
speak
peace
when
people
put
into
their
mouths
,
but
if
men
put
not
into
their
mouths
,
prepare
war
against
them
,
which
Micah
cryed
against
;
such
as
seek
for
the
Fleece
,
and
clothe
with
the
Wool
,
and
make
a
prey
upon
the
Flock
,
which
Ezekiel
cryed
against
;
such
as
stands
praying
in
the
Synagogues
,
goes
in
long
Robes
,
and
have
the
chiefest
seats
in
the
Assemblies
,
and
uppermost
Rooms
at
Feasts
,
and
are
called
of
men
Master
,
which
Christ
forbids
,
and
cryed
wo
against
such
,
as
in
Matt
.
23.
chap.
such
as
go
in
Cains
way
,
that
's
envy
,
and
in
Cores
way
,
to
gain-say
the
truth
;
and
in
Balaams
way
,
for
gifts
and
rewards
,
which
Peter
and
Jude
declared
against
.
Such
like
as
these
are
the
marks
of
the
false
prophets
,
and
they
are
known
by
their
fruits
,
as
saith
Christ
.
In
a
word
,
all
that
live
in
sin
,
what
sort
soever
they
be
,
such
be
out
of
Gods
counsel
,
for
the
counsel
of
God
is
,
Depart
from
sin
,
and
let
every
one
that
names
the
Name
of
Christ
depart
from
iniquity
;
for
God
that
is
pure
did
never
send
ungodly
men
to
declare
his
truth
;
but
such
though
they
have
made
a
profession
of
God
and
his
Ordinances
,
Way
and
Worship
,
yet
were
alwayes
testified
against
by
the
true
and
faithful
servants
of
God
;
for
those
whom
God
did
send
forth
in
any
age
,
he
first
sanctified
them
by
his
living
Word
of
Truth
,
and
so
sent
them
forth
into
the
World
Witnesses
true
and
faithful
against
the
wickedness
of
the
World
,
not
onely
in
word
,
but
in
life
and
conversation
:
So
whatsoever
any
one
may
profess
,
though
they
be
never
so
curiously
deckt
and
painted
with
words
,
as
many
are
at
this
day
,
yet
if
their
lives
and
conversations
be
not
according
to
their
profession
,
(
but
vain
and
ungodly
)
seeking
honor
one
of
another
,
and
having
mens
persons
in
admiration
because
of
advantage
,
such
I
deny
,
and
they
are
to
be
turned
away
from
,
being
out
of
the
counsel
of
God
;
for
it
is
not
every
one
that
saith
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
that
shall
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
but
he
that
doth
the
will
of
my
heavenly
Father
.
So
all
your
crying
up
Ministers
,
Church
and
Ordinances
will
not
cover
you
;
it
is
your
sins
that
hinders
you
from
having
union
with
God
,
and
except
there
be
a
separation
from
sin
,
there
cannot
be
a
reconciliation
unto
God
.
Therefore
repent
with
speed
,
and
cease
from
your
sins
,
forsake
them
,
and
do
justly
,
and
walk
humbly
before
the
Lord
;
I
have
heard
many
of
you
confess
much
,
and
cry
out
of
your
sins
,
but
I
see
but
few
that
forsakes
their
sins
;
and
onely
such
as
confesses
and
forsakes
their
sins
,
shall
find
mercy
.
Try
and
examine
your selves
all
you
who
read
these
lines
,
and
be
not
deceived
with
a
vain
hope
,
for
God
will
not
be
mocked
with
a
bare
and
empty
profession
,
such
as
you
sow
,
such
must
you
reap
;
if
you
sow
to
the
flesh
,
then
must
you
of
the
flesh
reap
corruption
;
but
if
ye
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
and
sow
to
the
spirit
,
then
must
ye
of
the
spirit
reap
life
everlasting
:
Every
Tree
is
known
by
his
Fruits
;
the
good
Tree
,
the
good
fruit
;
and
the
evil
Tree
,
the
evil
fruit
;
and
every
Tree
that
doth
not
bring
forth
good
Fruits
,
must
be
hewn
down
,
and
cast
into
the
fire
.
Thus
by
the
true
light
is
the
Serpent
traced
,
and
found
out
in
his
Wiles
and
Crafts
,
and
his
deceits
laid
open
to
the
view
of
those
who
desire
to
be
delivered
out
of
the
Snares
of
the
wicked
one
,
that
they
may
no
longer
be
enslaved
,
nor
held
in
bondage
under
the
tyranny
of
cruel
men
,
in
whom
the
Serpent
rules
;
but
by
the
true
light
be
led
out
of
error
and
blindness
,
false
Wayes
,
and
false
Worships
,
and
false
Teachers
,
into
the
living
Way
,
and
pure
Worship
,
and
true
Teacher
,
Christ
Jesus
,
choosing
rather
co
suffer
affliction
with
the
despised
people
of
God
,
(
who
in
all
ages
have
passed
through
many
hardships
and
fiery
trials
,
as
they
do
at
this
day
)
then
to
enjoy
the
pleasure
of
this
World
,
and
to
live
in
sin
for
a
season
,
for
what
will
it
profit
a
man
to
gain
the
whole
world
,
and
lose
his
own
soul
?
O
people
of
all
sorts
,
consider
in
time
,
and
trifle
not
away
your
precious
time
in
vanity
,
lest
sudden
destruction
come
upon
you
,
and
then
when
time
is
past
,
with
sorrow
and
grief
you
wish
you
had
time
.
Come
down
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
bear
his
yoke
patiently
,
that
the
wild
nature
in
you
may
be
tamed
,
and
sin
and
evil
mortified
,
that
the
innocent
life
of
the
Lamb
may
be
manifested
in
you
,
which
is
the
mystery
which
is
hid
from
the
World
,
and
the
wise
ones
of
it
;
but
praises
to
God
it
is
revealed
unto
many
who
fear
God
,
and
tremble
at
his
Word
.
These
things
have
I
written
for
the
sake
of
the
honest
and
simple-hearted
ones
,
who
be
hungring
after
righteousnesse
,
that
they
may
not
be
discouraged
because
of
the
loud
cryes
,
many
slanders
and
accusations
which
are
cast
upon
the
people
of
God
,
but
that
they
may
be
encouraged
and
imboldned
to
come
forth
from
amongst
that
wicked
and
untoward
generation
,
(
as
the
Lord
requires
)
and
may
no
longer
feed
upon
husks
and
empty
shadows
,
but
freely
eat
at
the
Table
of
the
Lord
,
where
living
food
of
life
is
;
and
freely
drink
deep
draughts
at
the
living
Fountain
,
which
daylie
springs
and
sends
forth
fresh
and
pleasant
streams
to
refresh
the
tender
plants
of
God
.
Glory
,
glory
to
the
Highest
for
evermore
.
Having
thus
far
proceeded
and
traced
the
Serpent
through
many
of
his
Snares
,
and
his
Deceits
manifested
to
open
view
,
whereby
the
simple
ones
may
be
awakened
and
warned
,
that
they
may
escape
out
of
his
wiles
and
temptations
,
and
follow
the
true
Light
,
that
thereby
they
may
be
led
out
of
death
and
darknesse
,
according
to
the
saying
of
Christ
,
Whosoever
follows
me
shall
not
abide
in
darknesse
,
but
shall
have
the
light
of
life
.
I
shall
now
come
to
answer
some
particular
things
,
and
speak
the
truth
as
it
is
in
me
made
manifest
,
in
vindication
of
those
despised
and
rejected
ones
,
scornfully
called
Quakers
,
to
clear
their
innocency
from
the
lyes
,
and
slanders
,
and
wicked
inventions
lately
printed
,
and
published
by
Iames
Brown
,
Preacher
(
as
he
saith
)
to
the
honorable
Coll
.
Charls
Fairfax's
Regiment
,
but
in
his
Book
hath
manifested
himself
to
be
a
false
accuser
,
and
an
inventer
of
mischief
,
casting
many
aspersions
upon
the
innocent
,
numbring
them
with
transgressors
,
as
hereafter
more
fully
is
manifested
.
I
have
read
over
his
Book
,
and
weighed
it
well
,
and
I
find
much
filthy
grosse
stuff
in
it
,
not
worthy
mentioning
,
nor
having
the
pains
of
an
Answer
thereunto
;
and
as
for
my
own
particular
I
do
not
desire
to
wade
in
such
myre
and
mud
;
neither
do
I
desire
to
appear
publike
in
such
things
of
contest
;
and
were
his
charge
only
against
my
particular
person
,
I
should
rather
have
lain
under
(
and
patiently
have
born
all
)
his
reproaches
and
aspersions
,
having
a
Witnesse
within
me
to
clear
my
innocency
of
those
(
or
most
of
those
)
things
as
they
are
laid
down
by
him
:
But
as
his
Charge
is
against
the
truth
,
and
the
people
of
God
in
general
,
whom
he
brands
and
distinguishes
from
others
under
the
Name
of
Quakers
;
(
as
for
them
whom
he
calls
Ranters
,
I
shall
leave
them
,
they
are
of
age
,
let
them
answer
for
themselves
)
I
am
bound
in
conscience
,
having
tasted
of
the
love
of
God
,
and
the
power
of
his
truth
,
and
having
experience
of
the
truth
and
equity
that
is
in
,
and
amongst
those
people
,
and
having
had
such
sweet
communion
and
dear
fellowship
with
them
in
the
light
and
life
of
Jesus
Christ
,
for
truths
sake
I
cannot
hold
my
peace
,
but
in
the
freenesse
of
my
Fathers
love
declare
forth
the
truth
in
love
to
all
people
,
yea
even
to
the
contenders
themselves
,
not
delighting
(
neither
is
it
my
work
at
this
time
)
to
throw
dirt
in
the
faces
of
any
,
but
gently
to
wipe
it
away
,
and
cast
it
into
the
Channel
,
I
shall
not
strive
for
Mastery
in
words
,
neither
in
glorious
expressions
to
be
adored
and
set
up
by
men
,
but
in
nakednesse
and
simplicity
what
is
truth
,
to
own
,
and
what
is
otherwise
,
to
testifie
against
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
the
Lord
.
I
shall
not
go
about
to
answer
every
particular
thing
,
for
then
I
might
fill
a
large
Volume
,
and
weary
the
Reader
;
but
some
of
the
heads
and
principal
things
in
short
,
for
confirming
of
truth
which
is
breaking
forth
in
this
day
of
the
Lords
love
,
I
shall
speak
something
to
,
and
leave
the
other
in
time
to
be
manifested
,
and
the
innocent
cleared
.
First
,
for
the
Author
himself
,
as
I
understand
,
hath
been
a
man
formerly
of
the
Fraternity
of
the
National
and
Parish-Masters
,
but
through
some
light
appearing
in
him
,
did
see
their
deceits
,
and
separated
from
them
,
but
did
not
long
wait
in
that
measure
of
light
,
but
run
out
into
another
likenesse
,
setting
up
another
image
somwhat
more
glorious
to
outward
appearance
then
the
other
,
&
was
a
great
disputant
&
contender
against
the
Priests
&
their
Way
,
&
so
set
up
another
Form
,
and
gathered
a
people
that
were
called
by
the
Name
of
Anabaptists
,
which
people
for
some
time
were
zealous
,
but
quickly
lost
their
zeal
,
and
was
puft
up
with
their
knowledge
,
and
when
the
life
and
power
did
appear
,
many
simple
hearts
(
who
out
of
tendernesse
of
conscience
did
take
up
that
form
of
Water-baptism
)
did
receive
the
truth
in
love
;
but
others
who
were
got
up
high
into
notional
knowledge
,
turned
Enemies
against
the
life
and
power
of
truth
,
and
became
one
with
the
National
Teachers
,
and
other
sorts
of
people
,
to
write
and
speak
against
the
truth
;
a●d
doubtlesse
this
man
had
a
sight
of
it
,
but
great
places
and
preferment
is
a
great
hinderance
,
and
choaks
up
;
and
though
there
was
enmity
enough
in
the
said
Brown
to
have
written
against
the
truth
,
yet
I
do
believe
if
he
had
not
been
stirred
up
by
some
in
Authority
,
who
despise
the
way
of
truth
as
it
's
made
manifest
,
he
would
scarce
have
undertaken
such
a
thing
,
for
which
work
of
opposition
and
war
against
the
Saints
and
servants
of
the
Lord
,
I
verily
believe
the
just
hand
of
God
was
turned
against
him
,
and
cut
him
off
,
that
before
this
monstruous
birth
was
brought
forth
to
publike
view
,
his
life
was
taken
from
him
,
which
may
strike
terror
into
the
hearts
of
all
contenders
and
wranglers
,
and
fighters
against
truth
;
and
I
desire
that
all
(
especially
those
of
Browns
society
)
may
lay
it
to
heart
,
and
repent
of
their
wickednesse
while
the
Lord
gives
them
a
day
and
a
time
,
lest
wo
and
misery
suddenly
come
upon
them
.
But
I
shall
proceed
,
and
come
to
the
matter
in
hand
.
The
Title
of
his
Book
is
,
Antichrist
in
spirit
unmasked
.
To
which
I
answer
,
It
hath
alwayes
been
the
design
of
Satan
(
the
better
to
cover
over
his
deceit
,
and
that
he
may
keep
possession
,
and
lurk
in
the
heart
of
man
undiscovered
)
to
cry
out
of
that
very
thing
in
others
,
especially
when
the
appearance
of
truth
doth
break
forth
,
and
so
put
the
thing
afar
off
,
when
it
is
the
condition
of
those
in
whom
he
rules
,
and
leads
them
out
to
act
and
speak
against
truth
,
as
Scribes
and
Pharisees
did
,
who
cryed
against
persecution
in
their
forefathers
,
and
yet
for
all
their
learning
and
Scripture-knowledge
they
were
blind
,
and
called
darknesse
light
,
and
light
darknesse
,
and
so
judged
Christ
to
be
a
blasphemer
,
and
under
that
Name
put
him
to
death
,
as
it
is
the
work
of
the
Serpent
at
this
day
to
cry
against
Antichrists
and
Deceivers
,
as
Brown
doth
,
and
yet
are
found
in
opposition
,
as
Brown
is
,
and
stands
against
Christ
.
Antichrist
is
one
that
doth
oppose
Christ
,
and
deny
Christ
to
be
come
in
the
flesh
,
as
John
in
his
first
Epistle
makes
mention
,
Every
Spirit
that
confesseth
that
Iesus
Christ
is
come
in
the
flesh
,
is
of
God
;
but
all
who
confesse
Christ
come
in
the
flesh
at
Jerusalem
1657.
years
ago
,
I
do
believe
neither
Brown
nor
any
of
his
Adherents
dare
say
that
all
such
spirits
are
of
God
;
for
the
Pope
and
his
Train
doth
confesse
that
in
words
which
Brown
in
his
Book
seems
to
speak
against
,
I
mean
the
Pope
and
his
Train
,
and
the
vilest
drunkard
or
wicked
person
that
I
have
seen
,
have
confest
in
words
Christ
come
in
the
flesh
at
Jerusalem
,
and
yet
are
not
of
God
;
for
every
spirit
that
confesseth
not
Christ
come
in
the
flesh
,
is
not
of
God
;
and
this
is
that
spirit
of
Antichrist
,
&c.
And
even
now
already
it
is
in
the
world
;
I
do
declare
it
as
a
truth
,
That
those
who
deny
Jesus
Christ
come
in
their
mortal
flesh
to
destroy
sin
,
are
the
Antichrists
;
but
those
who
are
called
Quakers
do
confesse
Christ
come
and
manifested
in
the
flesh
at
Jerusalem
,
and
likewise
his
life
and
power
manifested
in
their
mortal
bodyes
,
whereby
we
are
crucified
to
the
world
and
worldly
vanities
,
and
are
dead
unto
sin
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
,
If
Christ
be
in
you
,
the
body
is
dead
because
of
sinne
.
And
as
for
his
ranking
us
with
the
Ranters
,
as
he
calls
them
,
I
say
and
know
,
That
many
even
of
his
own
generati-may
see
as
much
difference
between
us
and
the
Ranters
,
as
between
light
and
darknesse
,
the
one
sort
living
in
rioting
,
sports
and
pleasures
,
turning
the
grace
of
God
into
wantonnesse
;
the
others
are
saved
by
Grace
,
and
thereby
taught
to
live
soberly
,
righteously
,
and
godly
in
this
present
world
.
And
whereas
he
speaks
of
preventing
its
further
spreading
(
viz.
truth
,
which
he
calls
error
and
heresie
)
amongst
the
people
of
this
generation
.
I
say
and
know
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
That
this
way
and
truth
(
which
they
call
Heresie
)
by
the
Power
of
God
shall
spread
over
Nations
,
let
Satan
and
all
his
Instruments
bestir
themselves
never
so
much
,
and
shoot
out
their
sharp
darts
against
it
,
and
vent
out
their
lyes
and
slanders
,
they
shall
not
prevail
,
but
the
Lord
will
confound
their
devices
,
and
blast
their
enterprizes
,
and
add
many
unto
this
Fold
,
and
have
respect
and
regard
unto
them
,
who
fear
his
Name
,
and
tremble
at
his
word
;
and
he
is
arising
in
his
might
and
power
,
and
bringing
to
passe
his
strange
work
,
which
makes
the
heathen
to
rage
,
and
formal
professors
to
swell
like
the
Sea
,
foaming
out
their
own
shame
:
The
Lord
is
coming
to
clense
his
Sanctuary
,
and
to
cast
the
Devil
out
of
the
heavenly
places
,
which
he
hath
long
inhabited
in
,
and
the
Temple
of
God
hath
been
defiled
;
but
the
Son
of
God
is
come
,
whose
work
is
to
destroy
the
Devils
work
,
and
to
establish
his
Kingdom
in
truth
and
righteousnesse
;
and
this
is
our
design
,
To
make
war
in
righteousnesse
against
the
Beast
and
the
old
Serpent
,
who
hath
long
deceived
the
Nations
;
and
our
Weapons
are
not
carnal
,
but
spiritual
,
and
mighty
in
the
Lord
for
the
pulling
down
of
strong
holds
;
and
we
wrestle
not
against
flesh
and
blood
;
(
for
I
testifie
in
the
presence
of
the
Lord
unto
all
men
,
That
I
envy
no
mans
person
,
but
am
a
lover
of
the
Creation
of
God
)
but
our
Warfare
is
against
spiritual
wickednesse
in
high
places
;
and
this
is
all
our
design
,
To
exalt
the
Kingdom
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
which
stands
not
in
words
,
shews
,
or
outward
appearances
,
neither
comes
with
observations
,
but
stands
in
righteousnesse
,
peace
and
joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
no
wicked
or
ungodly
,
nor
any
imperfect
one
can
enter
into
this
kingdom
,
but
are
shut
out
amongst
the
dogs
,
and
swine
,
and
wild
beasts
of
the
field
.
Therefore
let
all
dread
and
fear
before
the
Lord
,
who
plead
against
perfection
,
as
it
is
said
by
the
Author
;
It
's
a
principal
point
(
saith
he
)
of
our
perfection
humbly
to
acknowledge
our
imperfection
.
I
say
unto
you
all
,
Though
you
do
never
so
humbly
(
as
you
say
)
acknowledge
your
imperfections
,
if
you
do
not
depart
from
them
,
and
come
to
that
which
is
perfect
and
grow
up
in
the
same
,
you
cannot
enter
into
the
kingdom
of
God
;
be
not
deceived
with
a
feigned
humility
,
and
hypocrital
profession
,
God
is
pure
,
and
cannot
behold
iniquity
;
but
all
such
must
depart
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
into
everlasting
fire
.
Therefore
let
all
who
fear
God
,
and
names
the
holy
Name
of
Christ
,
depart
from
iniquity
,
and
beware
of
speaking
evil
of
that
power
that
you
are
not
acquainted
with
.
But
I
shal
come
to
the
preface
,
in
which
I
perceive
the
rancor
of
his
spirit
:
Not
finding
matter
against
those
called
Quakers
,
he
numbers
them
amongst
transgressors
,
&
joins
them
with
the
Ranters
,
which
I
verily
believe
that
even
those
of
his
own
generation
,
who
knows
the
lives
and
conversations
of
these
whom
he
ranks
together
,
may
see
as
much
difference
as
between
light
and
darkness
,
one
sort
living
in
rioting
,
sports
,
and
pleasures
,
turning
the
grace
of
God
into
wantonness
;
the
others
are
saved
by
Grace
,
and
thereby
taught
to
deny
ungodliness
and
worldly
lusts
,
to
live
soberly
and
righteously
,
and
godly
in
this
World
,
which
makes
them
to
be
so
much
hated
and
dis-esteemed
amongst
the
World
,
because
we
do
not
partake
with
them
in
their
vain
conversations
,
nor
go
with
them
to
the
same
excess
of
Riot
;
therefore
(
as
formerly
they
did
to
the
Saints
of
old
)
do
they
speak
evil
of
us
;
but
blessed
be
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
who
hath
owned
us
,
and
counted
us
worthy
to
suffer
for
truth
and
righteousness
sake
.
Further
,
I
take
notice
of
his
seeming-pitty
,
but
it
is
flattery
and
deceitful
,
in
one
part
saying
,
He
bears
not
any
ill
will
to
their
persons
,
nor
desires
in
the
least
that
they
should
suffer
by
Fines
or
Imprisonment
,
&c.
and
yet
afterward
speaks
of
a
Rod
,
and
the
Officers
of
Peace
,
&c.
by
which
things
I
do
perceive
if
things
do
not
fall
out
in
his
way
,
and
according
to
his
reason
,
for
all
his
pretences
he
would
be
one
to
have
a
hand
against
it
:
One
thing
which
he
seems
to
stir
up
the
Officers
of
the
Peace
,
is
,
saith
he
,
If
any
one
break
or
disturb
the
publike
peace
,
&c.
but
what
may
be
called
a
breach
of
peace
,
is
to
be
questioned
;
Paul
was
called
a
mover
of
Sedition
,
a
Pestilent
Fellow
,
a
Ring-Leader
of
the
Sect
of
the
Nazarenes
,
one
that
turned
the
World
up-side-down
,
&c.
And
are
not
the
innocent
Lambs
of
Christ
called
so
at
this
day
,
when
they
never
lift
up
a
hand
against
any
one
,
but
suffer
buffetings
and
many
stripes
?
Now
I
know
and
testifie
,
That
there
is
a
peace
that
must
be
broken
,
for
Jesus
Christ
doth
not
come
to
send
peace
upon
Earth
,
but
a
Sword
,
and
that
is
the
peace
of
the
wicked
which
must
be
broken
,
and
it
is
nothing
else
but
the
strong
man
,
the
Devil
,
that
is
disturbed
,
because
his
Kingdom
is
going
down
.
And
I
further
testifie
,
That
the
truth
cannot
be
preached
without
offence
;
for
it
doth
offend
the
wicked
,
and
it
is
their
peace
,
and
not
the
peace
of
God
which
is
broken
when
truth
is
preached
;
even
the
peace
of
the
drunkards
&
swearers
,
&
such
as
live
at
ease
in
the
flesh
,
such
as
these
,
their
peace
we
come
to
break
,
&
lay
open
their
deceits
,
that
the
shame
of
their
nakedness
may
appear
.
And
if
any
in
true
&
faithful
obedience
to
the
Lord
,
be
moved
by
his
spirit
to
put
off
their
clothes
,
to
be
a
naked-sign
,
as
Isaiah
was
,
that
people
might
come
to
a
serious
consideration
,
&
see
the
shame
of
their
nakedness
,
and
repent
,
that
they
may
be
clothed
with
new
Garments
of
Righteousness
,
I
should
be
very
tender
,
and
not
rashly
judge
such
to
be
impudent
,
as
this
gain-sayer
doth
,
and
saith
,
A
Rod
is
fit
for
such
a
fools
back
,
but
I
know
it
would
be
hard
for
him
to
become
such
a
fool
as
to
do
such
a
thing
in
obedience
to
the
Lord
.
Further
,
I
take
notice
of
his
ignorance
of
the
Scriptures
and
the
Power
of
God
,
which
wrought
in
the
Saints
,
who
witnessed
true
judgement
,
and
saith
the
Apostle
,
The
time
is
come
that
judgement
must
begin
at
the
House
of
God
;
and
the
Angel
that
preached
the
everlasting
Gospel
,
cryed
with
a
loud
voice
,
Fear
God
,
and
give
glory
to
him
,
for
the
hour
of
his
judgement
is
come
:
And
again
,
He
is
the
Rock
,
his
work
is
perfect
,
for
all
his
wayes
are
judgement
,
a
God
of
truth
,
and
without
iniquity
,
just
and
right
is
he
;
but
the
wicked
cannot
stand
in
judgment
,
nor
the
sinners
in
the
Congregation
of
the
righteous
;
and
again
,
When
his
Judgements
are
in
the
earth
,
then
the
Inhabitants
thereof
will
learn
righteousnesse
.
And
this
I
testifie
is
a
day
wherein
the
Lord
is
judging
his
people
in
righteousness
;
and
his
judgements
are
sweet
,
and
the
righteous
rejoice
therein
;
and
the
Father
hath
committed
all
judgement
to
the
Son
,
and
he
is
come
a
light
into
the
World
,
and
is
now
in
the
World
,
though
not
known
to
the
World
;
and
he
it
is
that
judgeth
the
World
in
righteousness
;
and
we
know
that
the
Son
of
God
is
come
,
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
and
hath
given
to
us
an
understanding
to
know
him
that
is
true
,
and
we
are
in
him
that
is
true
;
and
it
is
he
that
opens
and
reveals
the
Father
;
and
no
man
knows
the
Father
but
the
Son
,
and
he
to
whom
the
Son
will
reveal
him
;
and
the
revelations
of
the
Son
are
immediate
,
not
contrary
,
but
according
to
the
Scripture
,
though
the
blind
see
it
not
,
but
judge
otherwise
,
putting
light
for
darkness
,
and
darkness
for
light
;
and
this
by
the
spirit
of
God
I
testifie
to
be
the
truth
of
God
,
though
the
Author
aforesaid
would
make
it
to
be
the
work
of
Satan
,
and
brands
the
people
of
God
whom
he
calls
Quakers
,
and
saith
,
It
is
a
perswasion
of
the
old
Serpent
to
declare
to
the
Sons
of
men
,
That
now
is
the
day
of
judgement
,
and
the
great
day
of
the
Lord
;
That
Christ
is
come
to
judge
the
world
,
&c.
But
I
know
that
Satan
is
not
divided
against
himself
,
he
is
more
subtile
then
to
speak
of
[
Now
;
]
he
luls
them
rather
asleep
,
and
labours
in
them
to
put
the
evil
day
afar
off
,
and
the
good
day
afar
off
;
but
that
the
Devil
doth
perswade
any
that
now
is
the
day
,
I
deny
,
for
that
would
destroy
his
Kingdom
,
he
cryes
out
,
Why
dost
thou
torment
us
before
the
time
?
it
is
torment
to
the
wicked
to
hear
tell
of
judgement
.
And
whereas
he
saith
,
That
these
things
are
a
perswasion
of
the
old
Serpent
,
and
that
therefore
the
ear●h
(
i.e.
men
)
ought
to
quake
and
tremble
.
These
things
are
his
own
inventions
,
and
a
perswasion
of
Satan
to
move
him
to
speak
such
false
things
,
for
I
never
heard
any
one
say
,
That
the
earth
(
i.e.
men
)
ought
to
quakè
and
tremble
.
But
the
power
of
God
that
made
Moses
,
David
,
Jeremiah
,
Daniel
,
Habbakkuk
,
Paul
,
and
the
Saints
of
God
to
quake
and
tremble
,
I
own
and
witness
,
and
testifie
against
the
lyes
of
this
gain-sayer
,
who
speaks
evil
of
things
he
knows
not
,
and
erres
,
not
knowing
the
Scriptures
,
nor
the
power
of
God
.
Further
,
I
take
notice
of
his
light
and
scornful
unscriptural
expressions
,
saying
,
That
he
was
come
to
some
(
meaning
Christ
)
which
made
them
shake
and
quake
,
swell
and
fall
,
as
into
epileptick-fits
and
trances
,
from
which
the
first
fomentors
(
as
he
saith
)
of
the
opinions
,
I
op●ose
we●e
called
Quakers
.
Ans.
Praises
be
to
the
Lord
,
the
Son
of
God
is
come
,
whose
Arm
hath
brought
salvation
;
and
I
never
heard
any
one
say
(
who
witnessed
Christ
come
)
That
that
did
make
them
to
shake
,
&c.
It
is
but
a
lye
,
and
an
invention
of
his
own
,
for
where
Christ
is
received
and
dwells
,
there
dwells
peace
,
and
joy
,
and
rest
to
the
soul
.
So
his
Assertions
I
testifie
against
.
Then
he
further
goes
on
with
blasphemous
stuff
,
speaking
of
Mahomet-like
trembling
,
and
prayes
to
the
Father
that
the
cause
may
be
taken
away
.
To
which
I
say
,
is
as
much
as
the
taking
away
of
the
Power
of
God
,
and
then
the
Devil
might
be
at
ease
;
for
it
was
and
is
the
Power
of
God
that
made
,
and
makes
many
to
tremble
at
this
day
;
and
though
such
be
hated
and
cast
out
by
men
as
evil
,
yet
the
Lord
doth
love
and
regard
such
who
are
of
a
meek
and
of
a
contrite
spirit
,
and
trembles
at
his
Word
,
which
is
the
cause
which
this
gain-sayer
prayes
may
be
taken
away
,
which
is
as
much
as
to
take
away
the
Word
of
God
;
and
saith
the
Apostle
,
Work
out
your
own
salvation
with
fear
and
trembling
.
Another
thing
I
take
notice
of
in
his
Epistle
,
in
one
place
he
is
speaking
,
or
(
as
it
were
)
perswading
the
Magistrates
to
take
Gamaliels
counsel
,
Act.

and
presently
within
three
or
four
lines
he
speaks
of
a
Rod
,
and
an
Officer
of
the
peace
;
let
all
who
are
wise
in
heart
consider
of
these
things
,
and
follow
not
the
counsel
of
ungodly
men
,
though
their
words
be
never
so
smooth
and
fair
,
yet
the
poyson
of
Asps
lyes
underneath
,
as
it
is
manifest
in
this
gain-sayer
who
hath
undertaken
this
Work
,
which
I
do
believe
was
more
to
please
men
,
then
in
conscience
or
glory
to
the
Lord
,
as
his
fruits
make
him
manifest
.
But
I
shall
proceed
further
to
search
his
Sections
,
so
called
.
[
Brown

The
principal
Heads
of
those
thing
▪
which
are
contained
in
this
Treatise
,
sheweth
Satans
design
in
general
,
shifting
from
one
extream
to
another
,
that
he
may
lodge
the
longer
undestroyed
.
Ans.
Concerning
the
cunning
slights
,
subtilties
,
and
the
transformations
of
Satan
from
one
form
to
another
,
and
from
likeness
to
likeness
,
in
imitation
of
the
truth
,
I
have
spoken
on
before
in
the
beginning
of
this
Treatise
,
to
which
I
refer
the
Reader
:
Howbeit
something
I
take
notice
of
in
this
Section
,
which
as
a
Dart
he
strikes
against
them
whom
he
joynes
with
the
Ranters
,
speaking
of
Satans
policy
,
leading
them
to
speak
slightly
of
the
Writings
of
the
holy
men
of
God
,
and
suggests
(
saith
he
)
unto
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
men
,
that
if
they
lay
aside
the
Letter
,
and
follow
the
dictates
of
the
Light
with
in
them
,
they
shall
arrive
at
a
more
spiritual
dispensation
,
then
by
following
those
things
which
are
written
can
●e
attained
.
To
which
I
answer
in
behalf
of
the
despised
Quakers
,
That
I
do
not
for
my
part
speak
slightly
of
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
neither
did
I
ever
hear
any
of
those
people
exhort
any
to
lay
them
aside
;
so
this
is
but
a
delusion
of
Satan
that
leads
him
to
speak
such
groundles
expressions
;
for
if
we
should
deny
that
testimony
which
the
Scripture
bears
of
truth
,
we
should
deny
our
own
lives
;
let
our
lives
and
conversations
judge
in
this
cause
:
And
as
for
following
the
light
within
,
it
is
good
so
to
do
,
for
none
else
can
understand
the
things
of
God
but
as
they
are
guided
by
the
light
,
or
manifestation
of
the
spirit
of
God
;
and
this
is
not
to
advance
the
high
imaginations
of
men
,
but
to
bring
down
the
high
thoughts
,
and
scattering
the
imaginations
of
men
;
for
the
true
light
shews
thoughts
and
imaginations
which
be
vain
;
and
the
same
light
that
shews
them
,
leads
from
them
to
Christ
Jesus
;
and
this
is
not
an
advancing
spiritual
wickedness
in
high-places
,
(
as
is
falsly
asserted
)
but
a
warring
against
it
;
but
this
is
but
a
policy
of
Satan
to
make
the
light
odious
,
and
so
to
keep
them
in
the
dark
that
he
may
lodge
in
the
heart
undiscovered
,
and
work
his
works
there
;
for
he
cannot
work
in
the
light
so
by
his
insinuations
draws
people
from
the
light
,
and
blinds
their
minds
,
and
darkens
their
understandings
;
yet
such
will
profess
the
Scriptures
and
Ordinances
,
but
are
not
in
unity
,
but
in
strife
and
confusion
,
falling
out
about
their
meanings
and
conceivings
of
the
Scriptures
,
but
cannot
come
to
the
true
understanding
,
for
they
want
the
Key
,
and
they
cannot
get
in
,
but
like
thieves
and
robbers
climb
up
another
way
,
going
about
by
their
wisdom
and
Scholastick
study
and
learning
,
to
find
out
the
mind
and
mystery
of
God
,
but
it
is
sealed
from
them
and
their
wisdom
,
for
the
things
of
God
knows
no
man
but
the
spirit
of
God
;
and
this
is
the
ground
and
cause
of
all
these
divisions
and
contentions
about
Religion
;
when
men
run
in
their
wills
before
the
true
light
,
they
run
into
error
and
sects
,
and
into
darkness
,
and
there
is
all
the
stumbling
about
Moses
,
Prophets
,
Christ
,
and
the
Apostles
words
,
they
cannot
tell
what
they
mean
,
and
so
gives
constructions
and
private
interpretations
to
the
Scriptures
;
and
here
is
Babylon
where
confusion
is
,
and
the
Babel
builders
which
God
is
coming
to
confound
.
But
the
true
light
which
comes
from
God
,
through
Jesus
Christ
,
is
pure
and
but
one
,
and
leads
out
of
many
into
one
;
so
if
we
walk
in
the
light
as
he
is
in
the
light
,
we
have
fellowship
one
with
another
,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
;
and
it
is
by
the
true
light
that
the
spirit
of
Antichrist
is
discovered
,
and
by
the
breath
of
the
Almighty
is
he
destroyed
,
and
that
within
the
heart
,
where
his
seat
is
,
and
where
all
mischief
is
plotted
and
conceived
,
yea
all
sin
and
abominations
proceeds
from
thence
out
of
the
deceived
and
deceitful
heart
;
but
the
Son
of
God
is
come
whose
work
is
to
destroy
the
Devils
Work
,
and
to
create
a
new
Image
,
and
a
pure
heart
,
to
wash
,
and
cleanse
,
and
take
away
sin
;
and
blessed
are
the
pure
in
heart
,
for
they
shall
see
God
.

]
declareth
in
general
,
It
is
the
leaven
of
the
Pharisees
and
Sadduces
;
and
proveth
;
That
false
Doctrine
may
be
compared
to
leaven
in
three
respects
.
Answ
.
One
thing
I
take
notice
of
in
this
Section
is
,
his
resembling
corrupt
Doctrine
to
leaven
in
three
respects
,
first
,
(
saith
he
)
Leaven
doth
sower
.
Secondly
,
Swell
,
or
puff
up
.
Thirdly
,
Break
the
flower
or
meal
in
which
it
is
leavened
;
and
this
he
would
throw
as
dirt
upon
the
Quakers
,
speaking
of
sowre
and
surly
deportment
,
and
imperious
pride
,
rash
and
inconsiderate
censures
;
all
which
doth
not
touch
the
innocent
;
I
perceive
what
it
is
that
he
means
,
it
is
because
they
do
not
use
the
worlds
Complements
of
doffing
the
Hat
,
which
is
the
honor
below
,
which
men
seek
and
give
one
to
another
,
respecting
persons
,
bowing
and
cringing
to
the
rich
in
the
gay
clothing
and
gold
Rings
,
giving
them
the
titles
of
Lords
,
Masters
and
Sirs
,
but
do
not
do
so
to
the
poor
,
who
be
in
vile
Raiment
,
and
so
respect
persons
,
which
is
a
sin
,
and
a
transgression
of
the
Law
of
God
,
which
those
whom
he
strikes
and
shoots
at
dare
not
do
,
but
in
the
innocency
and
simplicity
of
their
hearts
walk
gently
and
humbly
towards
all
,
and
are
not
surly
,
nor
of
evil
deportment
,
though
by
proud
and
imperious
ones
are
so
judged
,
because
they
cannot
please
proud

and
not

(
as
is
asserted
)
but
let
the
Baptists
look
at
home
,
and
see
if
this
Leaven
be
not
found

are
not
they

contending

it
their

by

that
hath
not

I
do
desire
with
all
my
heart
,
that
they
might
come
to
the
light
,
whereby
they
may
be
led
into
love
and
unity
,
that
they
may
eat
their

,

not
spend
their

Openeth
the
Leaven
of
the
Pharisees
in
particular
,
declaring
how
Papists
,
and
those
that
follow
them
,
may
be
compared
to
the
Pharisees
.
Ans.
But
such
are
not
those
whom
he
calls
Quakers
,
for
their
righteousness
doth
exceed
that
of
the
Pharisees
,
for
they
made
clean
the
outside
onely
,
but
the
inside
was
filthy
and
unclean
;
but
these
despised
ones
do
witness
an
inward
Work
,
and
a
clensing
of
the
heart
by
the
power
and
life
of
Jesus
,
and
therefore
do
they
exhort
people
to
look
within
,
and
wait
in
the
light
of
Christ
which
shews
the
evil
of
the
heart
,
that
so
the
Ax
may
be
laid
to
the
Root
of
the
Tree
,
and
every
Tree
that
doth
not
bring
forth
good
fruit
,
may
be
hewn
down
,
and
cast
into
the
fire
.
But
those
called
Baptists
may
well
be
compared
to
the
Pharisces
,
for
they
cry
up
outward
things
,
figures
,
and
shadows
,
but
despise
the
light
within
,
and
so
abide
in
death
and
darkness
,
laden
with
sin
,
but
doth
not
come
to
the
true
saving
knowledge
.
Further
I
take
notice
of
his
branding
of
the
Quakers
because
they
will
not
say
YOU
to
any
single
person
,
making
a
matter
of
conscience
of
it
,
though
(
saith
he
)
it
be
not
the
proper
Idiom
and
usual
Dialect
of
our
Language
and
Nation
.
To
which
I
say
,
When
we
were
our
own
,
then
did
we
speak
our
own
words
,
and
did
not
make
much
conscience
of
such
things
;
hut
being
bought
with
a
price
,
and
created
a-new
in
Christ
Jesus
the
true
light
,
we
dare
not
speak
our
own
words
,
but
our
tongues
are
bridled
,
and
we
do
make
conscience
of
our
words
,
not
fashioning
our selves
like
unto
the
World
,
nor
conforming
to
their
customs
,
being
redeemed
out
of
Kinreds
,
Tongues
,
&
Languages
;
&
we
know
that
you
is
more
then
one
,
and
cannot
properly
in
truth
be
given
to
one
;
but
thou
is
proper
to
one
,
and
is
the
Language
of
the
Scripture
,
given
by
the
Saints
to
God
and
Christ
&
one
to
another
,
and
likewise
to
Kings
and
Princes
,
Rulers
and
Magistrates
,
without
respect
of
persons
;
and
to
give
thou
to
a
Magistrate
is
no
slighting
of
them
;
but
to
do
evil
and
unrighteously
is
a
slighting
of
Magistrates
,
and
to
do
well
is
their
honor
;
and
to
do
unto
all
men
as
we
would
be
done
unto
,
and
love
one
another
,
is
a
walking
in
the
Ordinance
of
Christ
;
but
to
do
evil
,
and
live
wantonly
,
respecting
persons
,
and
seeking
honor
one
from
another
,
is
a
dishonor
unto
(
and
a
slighting
the
Ordinances
of
)
Christ
.
The
next
thing
which
I
take
notice
of
,
is
,
his
limiting
of
the
Holy
One
to
the
Scripture
,
as
in
pag
.
3.
when
we
know
that
God
is
incomprehensible
,
and
fills
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
hath
not
limited
himself
,
but
hath
promised
to
appear
in
more
glory
in
the
later
days
,
and
pour
forth
his
spirit
upon
all
flesh
,
and
his
sons
and
daughters
shall
prophesie
;
but
this
gain-sayer
would
limit
the
spirit
of
the
Holy
One
in
his
Daughters
,
and
will
not
suffer
it
,
but
counts
it
a
shame
for
them
to
speak
,
(
being
ignorant
of
the
Scriptures
and
the
power
of
God
)
and
it
is
a
promise
,
That
righteousness
shall
cover
the
Earth
,
as
the
Waters
cover
the
Sea
,
which
is
not
yet
fulfilled
,
but
the
people
of
God
do
wait
for
it
.
And
as
for
the
Scriptures
,
we
know
they
are
a
Declaration
of
Truth
,
so
far
as
they
are
not
corrupted
in
the
Translations
(
which
are
many
,
and
much
difference
in
the
Translations
there
is
)
and
besides
there
are
but
a
few
remarkable
things
written
;
for
John
declares
in
his
Declaration
,
That
there
are
many
other
things
which
Jesus
did
,
(
mark
many
other
things
)
and
he
is
to
be
followed
as
an
example
,
the
which
if
they
should
be
written
every
one
,
I
suppose
that
even
the
world
it self
could
not
contein
the
books
that
should
be
written
;
then
observe
what
must
be
the
thing
which
must
lead
in
the
wayafter
Jesus
who
is
gone
before
,
I
say
(
and
the
Apostle
with
me
)
the
same
Spirit
which
was
in
Jesus
,
which
is
without
limic
,
must
be
the
guide
and
Rule
,
and
he
that
hath
not
the
same
spirit
(
though
he
may
have
all
the
words
given
forth
from
the
Spirit
,
)
is
none
of
Christs
let
none
be
deceived
with
smooth
words
.
The
next
thing
which
I
observe
is
,
his
quoteing
of
severall
things
out
of
a
Book
put
forth
by
one
Richard
Baxter
,
wherein
his
wicked
and
malicious
inveterate
Spirit
is
manifested
,
and
answered
by
some
of
those
called
Quakers
,
to
which
I
referre
the
Reader
,
which
said
Baxter
hath
been
a
great
contender
against
those
called
Baptists
;
and
in
the
same
Book
(
out
of
which
this
gainsayer
hath
pickt
out
some
things
to
push
at
the
Lambs
,
)
is
there
a
large
letter
composed
by
the
said
Baxter
against
the
Baptists
,
which
this
man
passes
by
,
and
Herod
,
and
Pontius
Pila●e-like
,
join
together
against
Christ
,
and
further
quotes
in
the
Margin
,
Scripture

for
Infants

membership
and

Baxter
,
&c.
and
bids
read
and
consider
,
Oh
ye
called
Baptists
do
ye
own
these
things
?
doe
you
beleeve
that
Baxter
a
Parish-Master
,
who
in
his
book
writes
so
inveterately
against
you
,
that
his
proof
for
infants
Baptisme
,
and
yours
doth
agree
?
if
not
,
then
consider
what
you
are
doing
,
whether
you
be
not
joining
to
the
beast
to
make
warre
with
the
Saints
who
fear
God
and
tremble
at
his
word
:
Let
those
who
contrary
to
the
express
precept
of
Christ
are
called
,
or
love
to
be
called
Rabbi
,
or
Master
look
to
it
,
I
am
sure
it
doth
not
touch
those
who
are
called
Quakers
,
and
let
none
call
such
a
thing
triviall
,
or
small
he
that
is
unjust
in
the
least
,
is
unjust
also
in
much

Uncovereth
the
Leaven
of
the
Sadduces
of
wh●ch
there
were
two
sorts
,
Epicures
and
Stoicks
,
drawing
forth
of
the
Ranters
and
Quakers
with
them
.
Answ
.
The
Apostle
Paul
was
a
true
Minister
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
witnessed
that
power
that
made
him
to
fall
down
and
tremble
;
and
he
was
with
the
Corinthians
in
weaknesse
,
in
fear
,
and
in
much
trembling
,
that
their
faith
might
stand
in
the
power
of
God
;
and
his
exhortation
to
the
Saints
,
was
▪
To
work
out
our
Salvation
with
fear
and
trembling
;
In
which
power
Paul
went
forth
in
;
and
it
was
this
power
in
him
which
the
Epicures
and
Stoicks
stood
against
.
And
it
is
the
same
power
now
which
this
gainsayer
stands
against
,
comparing
it
to
Mahomet
like
trembling
,
and
such
unsavory
words
,
and
so
I
can
doe
no
other
but
join
them
together
that
oppose
the
power
of
God
;
and
all
such
,
though
they
may
bring
Scripture
,
yet
opposing
the
power
,
it
may
well
be
said
to
them
,
Cease
babling
;
for
the
Scriptures
were
not
given
forth
for
contentious
Spirits
to
talk
on
with
their
vain
minds
.
And
whereas
he
charges
the
Quakers
to
cry
out
against
such
as
highly
prize
our
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
affirming
no
Jesus
or
Resurrection
but
what
is
within
them
;
for
they
in
a
scoffing
,
jeering
manner
will
ask
men
,
Whether
they
think
to
be
saved
by
one
Jesus
Christ
,
long
since
crucified
at
Jerusalem
,
and
tell
people
that
if
they
think
to
be
saved
by
him
,
they
are
deceived
.
Answ
.
All
these
accusations
are
false
,
and
touches
not

Quakers
,
they
are
his
own
Invention
,
like
unto
a
Melancholy

like

,
and
then
fighting
with
them

just
so
it
is
with
this
gainsayer
;
makes
lies
and
slanders
his
ground
,
and
then
goes
about
,
making
a
great
stirre
,
and
loud
noise
against
Quakers
;
we
do
highly
esteem
the
same
Jesus
that
suffered
at
Jerusalem
,
and
own
no
other
for
a
Saviour
,
as
hath
been
in

writings
fully
affirmed
and
proved
;
and
the
Resurrection
first
and
second
,
according

we

happinesse
(
to

according

doe

about

As
for
the
Agreement
I
have
spoken
before
;
and
concerning
the
Light
,
we
know
and
affirm
,
Jesus
Christ
to
be
the
true
Light
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
and
this
Light
is
true
and
pure
,
according
to
its
measure
,
a
sure
guide
to
all
that
love
it
,
and
bring
their
deeds
to
it
,
so
to
be
proved
and
tryed
,
to
lead
them
to
Christ
who
is
life
and
salvation
;
but
those
who
sleight
,
hate
and
deny
this
light
,
and
will
not
bring
their
deeds
to
it
,
to
be
proved
and
tryed
,
though
they
may
professe
the
words
given
forth
from
the
Light
,
yet
loving
their
sins
and
evil
deeds
better
then
the
Light
,
the
same
Light
will
be
their
condemnation
at
the
last
.
As
for
his
saying
,
If
there
were
not
Scriptures
,
the
Light
that
is
in
them
would
show
them
the
whole
counsell
of
God
;
also
,
how
Christ
was
conceived
,
born
,
crucified
,
buried
,
raised
,
&c.
Yea
,
when
,
where
,
for
whom
,
by
whom
,
and
to
what
end
.
To
all
which
I
answer
,
that
there
were
some
that
knew
the
Counsell
of
God
,
before
the
Scriptures
were
written
,
as
Abell
,
Enoch
,
Noah
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
,
Jacob
,
and
many
others
,
who
were
holy
men
,
who
had
the
light
within
them
to
guide
them
:
And
as
for
the
other
part
,
I
say
,
With
God
all
things
are
possible
:
Isaiah
by
that
Spirit
of
the
Lord
spoke
of
Christ
,
his
birth
,
his
name
,
his
sufferings
,
his
resurrection
,
&c.
how
ever
it
is
far
from
me
to
sleight
the
Scriptures
,
and
I
look
upon
it
as
a
great
mercy
from
the
Lord
,
that
from
age
to
age
they
have
been
so
preserved
,
for
I
had
never
more
comfort
of
the
Scriptures
,
then
I
have
had
since
I
owned
the
Light
within
to
lead
me
,
and
to
open
them
unto
me
;
and
I
say
,
as
Christ
said
,
Search
the
Scriptures

and
give
attendance

But
still
wait
,
that
the
light
within
may
lead
you
;
and
keep
your
understandings
open
in
the
reading
of
them
,
and
not
onely
so
,
but
to
practice
and
walk
in
that
pure
life
which
the
Scripture
speaks
of
;
and
not
like
silly
women
to
be
alwaies
learning
,
and
reading
,
and
hearing
,
and
never
come
to
the
true
knowledge
,
for
such
,
their
reading
,
and
praying
,
and
expounding
,
and
all
their
practices
are
in
vain
,
for
to
read
,
and
not
to
understand
,
is
as
if
a
man
did
not
read
at
all
;
and
to
understand
,
and
not
to
practise
according
to
the
understanding
,
is
as
if
they
did
not
understand
at
all
;
for
he
that
knows
to
do
good
and
doth
not
,
to
him
it
is
sin

Manifesteth
to
us
,
what
that

is

is

man

and
how
the
preferring
that
Light
before
the
Scriptures
,
rendre●h
men
guilty
of
the
greatest
ingratitude
.
Ans.
]
The
Spirit
was
before
the
Scriptures
were
,
and
was
in
them
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
&
al
that
was
given
forth
from
the
Spirit
,
either
words
or
writings
,
were
but
a
sound
,
or
an
invitation
to
call
in
others
who
were
gone
astray
from
the
Spirit
;
and
to
preferre
the
sound
before
that
which
gives
forth
the
sound
,
is
as
if
a
man
should
place
the
cart
before
the
horse
that
should
draw
the
Cart
;
for
in
all
Spiritual
things
there
must
be
a
Spiritual
guide
;
and
no
man
knows
the
things
of
God
,
but
the
Spirit
of
God
;
According
to
his
own
words
,
he
confesseth
that
the
wise
and
mercifull
Creator
hath
given
unto
man
light
or
understanding
that
he
may
know
and
beleeve
,
which
he
likewise
calls
a
measure
of
the
Spirit
and
saith
it
is
good
,
it
is
the

God

These
are
his

the
7.
So
he
hath
confessed
as
much
in
words
as
those
whom
he
is
warring
against
;
for
what
doe
they
say
more
:
They
say
every
man
is
enlightned
,
or
,
that
every
man
hath
a
measure
of
the
Spirit
,
a
talent
given
to
profit
withall
,
and
that
it
is
good
,
(
so
he
likewise
confesseth
,
)
and
that
which
is
good
,
which
comes
from
God
through
Jesus
Christ
,
is
a
sure
Guide
,
and
leads
out
of
sin
;
and
they
who
own
this
light
,
are
not
taught
to
give
over
reading
of
the
Scriptures
,
but
are
lead
into
that
life
that
they
were
in
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
;
though
I
doe
not
say
that
this
light
is
the
fulnesse
,
or
Christ
in
every
man
;
but
it
is
as
it
were
the
Key
that
opens
the
door
where
greater
glory
and
richer
treasures
are
hid
,
which
all
who
deny
,
and
hath
not
this
Key
,
never
finds
the
Treasure
,
but
seek
the
living
amongst
the
dead
;
and
this
Light
doth
not
teach
any
to
be
ungrateful
to
God
for
his
mercy
in
affording
the
Scriptures
;
neither
doth
it
lead
to
Paganisme
,
(
as
this
Gainsayer
saith
,
)
but
it
leads
to
meeknesse
and
humility
,
and
true
praises
is
given
to
God
from
a
true
heart
without
guile
or
hypocrisie
:
And
this
I
say
,
that
even
those
who
are
called
Pagans
and
Heathens
,
if
they
by
this
Light
doe
act
just
and
righteous
things
,
doing
unto
all
as
they
would
be
done
unto
,
as
this
Light
,
and
Christ
also
teacheth

their
Heathenisme
,
and
Paganisme
shall
condemn
thee
who
hast
the
name
of
a

and
hast

and
yet

loosly

profanely

turning

condemne

Hear

His

Eor
the

For
his
second
charge
which
again
he
rehearses
,
saying
,
They
are
agreed
together
in
speaking
sleightly
of
the
Scriptures
,
for
both
Ranters
and
Quakers
(
saith
he
,
)
term
them
in

,
the
Letter
,
a
dead
Letter
,
Ink
and
Paper
,
Shells
,
Huskes
,
our
Idols
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
;
For
the
quakers
,
they
do
not
call
them
any
thing
in
derision
,
but
in
plainnesse
call
them
what
they
are
,
as
I
have
said
before
;
A
Declaration

Lu
.

,
A

The
Scriptures
of
Truth
;
Moses
writing
;
the
Prophets
writings
;
a
Declaration
of
the
Gospell
by
Mathew
,
Luke
and
John
,
and
the
Epistles
of
the
Apostles
.
And
John
saith
in
his
second
Epistle
,
Having
many
things
to
write
unto
you
,
I
would
not
write
with
Paper
and
Ink
,
but
I
trust
to
come
unto
you
,
and
speak
face
to
face
:
John
calls
the
writing
,
paper
and
ink
,
and
there
is
no
life
in
the
writings
,
for
the
Spirit
gives
life
,
and
was
within
them
,
that
gave
forth
the
Scriptures
.
Thus
far
I
answer
for
the
quakers
;
let
the
Ranters
if
they
will
answer
the
other
.
As
for
all
his
dead
,
muddy
and
filthy
stuff
,
mentionned
in
the
9
,
10
,
11
,
and
12.
pages
,
the
ground
and
foundation
being
taken
away
,
the
building
must
needs
fall
;
I
shall
not
need
to
wade
much
farther
;
for
he
is
but
wrangling
and
fighting
with
his
own
brats
by
him
begotten
;
as
for
the
Scriptures
mentioned
,
I
own
them
in
their
right
place
,
but
not
for
that
end
that
he
hath
quoted
them
;
we
search
them
,
and
make
use
of
them
as
occasion
is
offered
,
for
the
stopping
of
the
mouths
of
gainsayers
,
for
the
exalting
of
the
truth
of
God
,
and
not
for
our
own
ends
.
One
thing
I
take
notice
on
in
the
eleventh
page
,
where
he
saith
,
They
say
that
God
and
Christ
dwell
in
every
man
,
and
that
the
light
in
each
particular
person
is
Christ
.
To
which
I
answer
,
That
we
doe
not
so
say
,
that
the
Light
in
every
man
is
God
and
Christ
,
but
a
measure
and
manifestation
given
from
God
by
Jesus
Christ
;
a
stream
flowing
from
the
Fountain
,
some
more
,
some
lesse
,
according
to
the
will
of
God
,
but
the
least
measure
is
pure
and
perfect
,
and
leads
and
guides
(
as
I
have
said
before
)
all
(
who
love
and
wait
in
it
;
)
to
the
perfect
day
,
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
we
have
also
a
more
sure
word
of
prophesie
unto
which
ye
do
well
that
ye
take
heed
,
as
unto
a
Light
shineing
in
a
darke
place
,
untill
the
day
dawne
,
and
the
day
Star
arise
in
your
hearts
.
In
the
13.
page
there
be
many
false
assertions
and
wicked
conclusions
,
and
lying
consequences
not
worth
rakeing
through
;
but
having
taken
this
businesse
in
hand
,
I
shall
in
the
Lord
goe
thorough
it
.
He
goes
on
haveing
laid
a
false
foundation
to
build
his
tottering
building
,
saying
,
or
rather
falsely
accusing
:
What
(
say
they
)
have
not
all
m●n
God
,
and
Christ
in
them
?
(
I
answer
a
manifestation
as
I
have
said
before
;
)
Vpon
which
(
saith
he
,
)
they
draw
these
two
sad
conclusions
.
1.
That
all
their
Congregations
(
both
men
and
women
)
may
preach
when
and
where
they
please
.
[
Answ
.
]
This
is
false
,
no
man
nor
woman
may
preach
when
and
where
they
please
,
but
if
God
please
to
send
a
son
or
daughter
(
haveing
powred
forth
his
Spirit
upon
them
,
)
to
preach
when
and
where
the
Lord
pleaseth
I
own
them
,
let
them
go
on
in
his
name
and
power
.
And
because
(
saith
he
,
)
Moses
wished
would
all
the
Lords
people
were
Prophets
;
they
say
that
they
are
all
Prophets
and
sent
of
God
.
[
Answ
.
]
This
is
likewise
false
,
that
because
Moses
wished
so
,
therefore
we
are
so
,
we
do
not
so
say
;
but
if
any
one
have
the
witnesse
of
God
in
him
,
and
the
testimony
of
Jesus
which
is
the
spirit
of
prophesie
,
he
may
to
the
glory
of
God
confesse
it
.
2.
That
every
man
(
seeing
God
and
Christ
is
in
them
,
)
is
to
be
Levell
and
equall
,
and
none
to
be
above
and
under
another
.
Oh
the
wickednesse
of
man
!
whether
would
he
run
when
his
tongue
is
without
a
Bridle
,
we
are
not
goeing
about
to
Levell
,
(
that
is
the
work
of
God
,
who
brings
down
the
high
and
lofty
from
their
seats
,
and
exalts
them
of
low
degree
)
but
we
as
Gods
servants
do
honor
one
another
in
the
Lord
for
the
Lords
sake
,
according
to
the
measure
and
gift
of
God
,
preferring
one
above
another
,
and
going
one
before
another
,
and
not
in
respect
to
the
creature
because
of
his
fineness
of
Apparel
,
or
gold
Ring
,
but
in
love
and
respect
to
the
Creator
whose
Image
the
creature
bears
,
which
is
created
in
Christ
Jesus
unto
good
Works
.
And
the
Magistrates
who
bear
the
Image
of
God
,
and
rule
for
God
in
the
Lord
,
we
honor
not
with
flattering
Titles
,
and
bowing
the
Hat
and
Knee
,
(
which
is
the
honor
below
,
which
men
seek
and
receive
one
of
another
,
which
Christ
Jesus
did
not
)
but
in
truth
and
true
love
from
our
hearts
▪
yeilding
obedience
to
their
just
commands
,
which
is
the
Magistrates
honor
;
for
to
do
evil
doth
dishonor
the
Magistrates
:
And
this
is
the
true
honor
which
without
respect
of
persons
in
the
faith
of
Christ
we
give
to
the
Magistrates
,
and
this
is
more
then
inward
;
and
this
is
not
to
bring
Magistracy
into
contempt
,
but
into
honor
and
good
report
.
And
when
good
and
just
men
do
bear
rule
,
they
are
a
terror
to
evil
doers
,
and
the
righteous
rejoice
,
and
the
Land
is
kept
in
peace
and
good
order
.
But
when
wicked
proud
men
do
bear
rule
,
who
seek
to
be
honored
from
men
,
then
the
righteous
mourns
,
yet
patiently
suffers
under
such
,
&
cannot
bow
down
to
their
wicked
proud
spirit
,
but
stands
a
Witness
against
such
Rulers
,
but
evil
doers
by
such
Rulers
are
strengthened
;
and
by
such
Rulers
being
stirred
up
,
and
assisted
by
the
proud
,
covetous
,
blood-thirsty
Priests
have
the
Saints
and
servants
of
God
suffered
,
as
they
do
at
this
day
.
But
on
the
Lord
in
patience
we
wait
,
to
whom
vengeance
belongs
,
who
will
judge
and
revenge
the
cause
of
all
that
trust
in
him
;
and
it
is
a
fearful
thing
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
living
God

which
is

and

is
the
Lord
gathering
into
covenant
with
himself
by
his

who
is
the

who
takes
away
the
sins

who
is

And
we
do

gathering

calling
of
the

the
Lords
shewing
mercy
unto

his
promise

the
Lord
is
about
to
fulfil

Scripture

And
according
to
the
example
of
the
Saints
,
by
Authority
from
God
we
do
meet
together
,
and
build
up
one
another
in
our
most
holy
faith
;
and
this
was
a
token
of
Peters
love
when
Christ
spoke
three
times
to
him
,
Simon
Son
of
Jonas
,
loves
thou
me
:
whose
answer
was
,
Yea
Lord
,
thou
knows
I
love
thee
;
Iesus
said
unto
him
,
Feed
my
Lambs
.
For
his
confused
consequences
I
shall
not
much
meddle
with
them
,
but
leave
them
to
rot
with
their
Father
who
begat
them
.
The
Light
in
every
man
which
comes
from
Christ
is
pure
,
and
blessed
are
all
they
that
in
it
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
they
shall
be
kept
in
perfect
in
peace
,
but
there
is
no
peace
to
the
wicked
,
but
wo
and
misery
is
their
portion
;
Wo
to
the

fourth
agreement

about
the
cessation
of

Ordinances

him

the

shall
not
deny
it
;
but
where
it
is
done
in
imitation
in
a
formal
manner
without
the
power
,
it
I
do
deny
;
and
Officers
and
Messengers
ordained
by
the
Holy
Ghost
,
and
sent
forth
in
the
Power
of
God
,
or
to
watch
over
the
flock
of
God
,
we
own
;
and
as
for
washing
of
the
Saints
feet
,
what
Christ
did
was
an
example
of
humility
,
that
the
Saints
might
not
Lord
over
one
another
,
but
he
that
would
be
great
,
let
him
become
servant
to
all
,
and
to
be
humble
and
low
in
heart
and
mind
,
condiscending
one
to
another
in
love
;
and
as
for
outward
washing
,
if
any
one
be
moved
of
the
Lord
,
let
him
do
it
,
I
shall
not
judge
nor
condemn
him
for
it
:
And
as
for
laying
aside
on
the
first
day
of
the
Week
,
or
any
other
day
when
the
Saints
in
unity
be
met
together
,
what
is
necessary
by
collection
or
otherwise
,
as
occasion
is
for
necessary
publike
uses
,
we
own
,
and
let
our
practice
in
these
things
judge
.
And
as
for
those
expressions
which
this
gain-sayer
calls
sowre
,
bitter
,
unsavoury
speeches
,
and
reviling
railing
aspersions
,
as
Dog
,
Devil
,
Serpent
,
Sorcerer
,
Seed
of
Cain
,
all
which
words
are
Scripture-Language
,
most
of
them
used
by
Christ
himself
to
that
wicked
generation
of
pharisaical
professors
,
and
others
,
by
the
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
;
and
yet
this
opposer
sayes
,
they
are
fitter
for
Hell-hounds
then
heavenly-hearts
:
Let
all
who
own
his
spirit
dread
and
fear
before
the
God
of
Truth
,
and
come
forth
,
and
be
ye
separate
,
that
the
Lord
may
receive
you
.
And
though
he
is
made
to
confess
the
truth
in
some
measure
,
as
to
our
practice
,
saying
,
I
know
that
many
of
them
are
very
temperate
,
just
,
and
sober
in
moral
things
,
in
strictnesse
of
outward
action
,
appearing
full
of
self-denial
,
and
cry
down
intemperance
,
oppression
,
pride
of
Apparel
,
&c.
in
which
also
(
saith
he
)
they
do
well
;
and
yet
for
all
this
cryes
out
against
them
.
But
come
to
the
matter
;
What
evil
have
they
done
?
or
what
blemish
is
there
in
their
lives
?
Do
not
they
condemn
most
of
you
professors
for
strict
and
upright
walking
,
notwithstanding
all
your
fair
shews
and
crying
up
of
Ordinances
;
and
is
it
not
such
which
are
justified
both
by
Law
and
Gospel
?
for
not
the
hearers
of
the
Law
,
but
the
doers
thereof
are
justified
;
and
saith
Christ
,
It
is
not
he
that
saith
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
but
he
that
doth
the
will
of
my
Father
that
shall
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
And
for
all
his
writing
and
your
speaking
against
the
light
within
,
yet
down
to
it
you
must
come
if
ever
you
come
to
true
understanding
in
the
things
of
God
.
But
he
saith
he
is
not
writing
against
the
persons
of
the
quakers
,
but
against
their
principles
,
and
yet
he
speaks
of
a
Rod
,
and
an
Officer
of
the
peace
.
Our
principle
is
pure
and
good
,
(
as
himself
said
,
Every
one
hath
a
measure
of
the
spirit
)
and
from
that
which
is
good
in
us
doth
good
words
and
actions
break
forth
;
and
we
do
not
act
for
life
or
fear
,
but
from
love
and
life
manifested
us
;
yet
mistake
me
not
,
I
do
not
cast
aside
the
fear
of
God
,
for
that
is
precious
,
and
keeps
the
heart
clean
.
As
for
other
of
his
expressions
and
false
charges
and
accusatsons
in
his
nineth
Section
,
being
without
ground
,
I
leave
them
to
fall
of
themselves
;
for
none
of
these
things
do
touch
the
innocent
;
all
the
spots
of
the
World
,
their
lyes
and
reproaches
,
cannot
stain
our
Garments
:
Praises
for
evermore
be
to
the
Lord
,
who
hath
clothed
us
with
the
Garments
of
his
Son
,
and
compassed
us
about
with
the
Arm
of
Salvation
;
let
all
who
know
his
power
praise
and
laud
his
holy
Name
for
ever
and
ever
.

Holdeth
out
to
us
a
fifth
Agreement
of
Ranters
and
Quakers
,
in
denying
the
visibility
of
Churches
.
Ans.
The
Apostle
saith
,
The
Church
is
in
God
,
the
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
1
Thess.
1.
1.
and
The
Church
is
built
of
living
Stones
,
elect
and
precious
;
and
it
is
the
pillar
and
ground
of
T●uth
;
and
Christ
is
the
Head
of
his
Body
the
Church
,
and
we
are
members
of
his
body
,
of
his
flesh
,
and
of
his
bones
;
he
that
hath
an
ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
.
But
we
do
not
deny
but
the
Saints
have
visible
bodies
,
and
walk
and
converse
amongst
the
World
,
and
are
in
the
World
but
not
of
the
World
,
but
are
Witnesses
for
truth
against
the
unrighteousness
of
the
World
,
and
so
are
hated
of
the
World
,
as
at
this
day
is
made
manifest
.
As
for
the
conclusion
which
Brown
draws
from
that
Scripture
,
1
Thes
.
1.
1.
which
he
put
upon
the
Quakers
,
I
do
it
deny
,
and
all
his
inferences
drawn
from
his
false
conclusion
.
As
for
the
denying
visible
Churches
,
&c.
thus
for
the
Quakers
I
answer
;
All
those
Houses
which
are
built
with
mens
hands
with
Lime
and
dead
Stones
,
and
not
one
living
Stone
in
them
,
which
ignorant
people
who
know
not
God
,
nor
the
true
Church
,
do
call
Churches
,
we
do
deny
;
and
all
those
proud
,
covetous
,
earthly-minded
,
carnal
,
heady
,
stubborn
,
disobedient
,
rebellious
,
envious
,
wrathful
and
malicious
ones
,
and
all
workers
of
iniquity
whatsoever
,
or
whomsoever
,
high
or
low
,
rich
or
poor
,
who
meet
together
in
such
Idolatrous
places
which
are
called
Churches
,
we
do
deny
,
and
affirm
,
That
such
are
not
members
of
Christ
,
but
limbs
and
members
of
Antichrist
,
and
them
and
their
false
Churches
we
do
deny
,
and
against
them
do
testifie
.
But
such
as
fear
God
,
and
have
the
Word
of
God
abiding
in
them
,
by
which
the
body
of
sin
is
put
off
,
and
have
put
on
the
body
of
Christ
,
and
so
are
members
of
his
body
,
of
his
flesh
,
and
of
his
bones
;
for
such
to
meet
together
in
the
spirit
and
power
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
speak
one
to
another
as
of
the
Lord
they
are
moved
,
we
own
and
practise
such
things
;
and
as
any
of
the
Lord
is
moved
to
call
in
others
who
be
without
,
dealing
their
bread
to
the
hungry
,
that
they
may
be
invited
to
come
into
our
Fathers
house
,
where
they
shall
find
satisfaction
and
refreshment
to
their
souls
;
and
to
meet
together
in
the
unity
of
the
spirit
,
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
though
never
a
word
be
spoken
to
the
outward
ear
,
we
own
;
and
I
know
and
testifie
,
That
whosoever
are
come
to
taste
of
the
love
and
power
of
God
,
do
find
more
refreshment
then
by
words
can
be
expressed
;
for
God
is
a
spirit
of
Light
,
&
Christ
Jesus
is
one
with
the
Father
in
light
,
and
the
Saints
are
one
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
in
the
light
,
and
have
fellowship
one
with
another
in
the
light
;
and
whatsoever
was
by
Word
spoken
,
or
by
Pen
written
by
any
of
the
holy
men
of
God
,
being
spoken
and
written
from
light
and
spitit
within
,
it
was
to
invite
and
call
others
out
of
sin
,
death
and
darkness
,
into
the
unity
of
the
light
,
according
as
it
is
written
in
Johns
Epistle
,
These
things
I
write
unto
you
that
your
fellowship
might
be
with
us
,
and
truly
our
fellowship
is
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
.
Now
I
know
and
testifie
,
That
Words
and
Writings
are
sweet
and
good
,
which
are
given
forth
from
the
spirit
of
God
,
but
they
are
not
to
be
rested
in
,
but
a
call
or
information
to
turn
the
minds
of
people
from
darknesse
to
the
true
light
,
Christ
Jesus
,
in
whom
is
peace
and
rest
to
the
soul
:
So
it
is
plain
,
and
any
of
a
reasonable
understanding
may
easily
be
convinced
of
it
,
That
if
there
be
a
sweetnesse
and
a
refreshment
in
the
sound
of
words
(
as
I
know
there
is
,
being
as
I
have
said
)
spoken
from
the
Word
and
Spirit
of
God
,
then
much
more
is
there
life
and
refreshment
in
that
which
gives
forth
the
sound
;
and
all
Writings
and
speakable
Words
are
but
to
bring
to
the
Word
and
Spirit
,
that
there
they
might
have
unity
and
peace
,
not
like
silly
women
,
to
be
alwayes
learning
,
and
spend
their
whole
time
in
speaking
,
and
talking
,
and
hearing
of
those
words
,
and
never
come
to
true
knowledge
;
but
people
coming
to
the
true
light
,
and
waiting
in
the
same
,
by
it
are
led
to
life
and
love
,
yea
a
life
out
of
Words
and
Writings
;
for
the
kingdom
of
God
stands
not
in
words
,
but
in
power
,
in
righteousnesse
,
peace
and
joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
;
much
might
be
spoken
as
to
this
,
but
the
Lord
in
his
time
will
make
his
power
and
life
more
and
more
manifest
;
and
people
shall
not
so
much
stumble
at
meeting
together
,
and
waiting
in
silence
in
the
stilnesse
and
calmnesse
of
their
own
spirits
,
to
hear
what
the
Lord
by
his
spirit
will
speak
unto
their
souls
:
Though
I
say
I
do
not
limit
any
one
either
to
speak
or
be
silent
,
but
if
any
one
have
a
word
from
the
Lord
,
either
Son
or
Daughter
,
in
faithfulnesse
let
them
speak
,
and
quench
not
the
spirit
,
but
let
all
flesh
be
silent
before
the
Lord
,
and
none
to
speak
their
own
words
,
for
that
is
as
chaff
,
And
what
is
the
Chaff
to
the
Wheat
,
saith
the
Lord
?
Is
not
my
Word
like
a
Fire
,
and
as
a
Hammer
that
breaks
the
Rocks
in
pieces
?
So
he
that
hath
an
ear
to
hear
,
let
him
hear
what
the
spirit
saith
.
And
likewise
Church-discipline
,
as
admonishing
in
the
spirit
of
love
,
and
reproving
,
and
casting
out
the
unclean
,
and
not
for
any
to
live
as
they
list
,
(
as
Brown
falsly
in
this
Section
says
)
but
to
please
the
Lord
in
all
things
,
walking
in
the
light
,
and
having
fellowship
one
with
another
in
the
light
,
all
things
being
done
decently
and
in
order
,
according
to
the
spirit
of
truth
,
and
not
according
to
the
Wisdom
of
men
,
for
the
things
of
God
are
foolishness
to
that
Wisdom
;
and
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
by
weak
,
and
foolish
,
and
despised
things
,
to
confound
the
Wisdom
of
the
World
,
that
no
flesh
should
glory
in
his
presence
,
but
he
that
glories
,
let
him
glory
in
the
Lord
.

Maketh
manifest
the
folly
of
the
Quakers
and
Ranters
in
affirming
that
the
coming
of
the
Spirit
of
God
to
a
soul
is
the
second
coming
of
Christ
,
and
that
there
is
no
other
;
which
is
their
seventh
Agreement
.
Ans.
What
is
recorded
in
the
Scriptures
of
truth
concerning
the
second
coming
of
Christ
,
we
own
,
and
wait
to
be
glorified
with
him
;
Christ
Jesus
when
he
walked
in
a
body
upon
the
earth
amongst
his
Disciples
,
when
his
time
was
well
nigh
finished
,
he
prayes
unto
his
Father
to
glorifie
him
with
himself
,
saying
,
And
now
O
Father
,
glorifie
thou
me
with
thine
own
self
,
with
the
glory
which
I
had
with
thee
before
the
world
was
;
which
is
plainly
manifest
,
That
he
was
with
the
Father
in
glory
before
the
world
was
,
or
before
he
had
a
visible
body
,
and
so
is
glorified
with
the
Father
with
the
same
glory
that
he
had
before
the
world
began
;
and
before
he
suffered
at
Jerusalem
he
comforted
his
Disciples
with
the
hope
of
his
coming
to
them
again
,
as
in
Ioh
.
14.
I
go
(
saith
he
)
to
prepare
a
place
for
you
;
and
if
I
go
,
I
will
come
again
,
and
receive
you
unto
my self
,
that
where
I
am
,
there
ye
may
be
also
.
And
again
he
saith
,
I
will
not
leave
you
comfortlesse
,
I
will
come
to
you
;
y●t
a
little
wh●le
,
and
the
wo●ld
seeth
me
no
more
,
but
ye
see
me
,
be●ause
I
liv●
,
ye
shall
live
also
.
These
things
have
I
spo●en
unto
you
,
being
y●t
present
with
you
.
And
Christ
left
them
some
things
to
be
practised
to
shew
forth
his
death
until
he
came
,
as
is
recorded
in
1
Cor
.
11.
26.
And
in
2
Cor
.
13.
he
calls
them
to
examination
,
Since
ye
seek
a
proof
of
Christ
speaking
in
me
,
which
to
you
▪
ward
is
not
weak
,
but
is
mighty
in
you
;
for
though
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
he
(
speaking
of
Christ
)
was
crucified
through
weakness
,
yet
he
liveth
by
the
Power
of
God
;
for
we
also
are
wea●
in
him
,
but
we
shall
live
with
him
by
the
power
of
God
:
Examine
your selves
whether
ye
be
in
the
faith
;
prove
your
own
selves
;
know
ye
not
your
own
selves
,
how
that
Je●us
Christ
is
in
you
except
ye
●e
reprobates
.
And
he
likewise
saith
to
the
same
Corinthians
Wherefore
henceforth
know
we
no
man
after
the
flesh
,
yea
though
we
have
known
Christ
after
the
flesh
,
yet
now
henceforth
(
mark
)
know
we
him
no
more
,

saith
the
Apostle
,

And
we
know
that
the
Son
of
God
is
come
,
and
hath
given
to
us
an
understanding
that
we
may
know
him
that
is
true
;
and
we
are
in
him
that
is
true
,
even
in
his
Son
Iesus
Christ
,
(
take
notice
,
they
were
in
him
)
answering
that
Scripture

that
they
all
may
be
one
,
as
thou
Father
art
in
me
,
and
I
in
thee
,
that
they
also
may
be
out
in

that
the
world
may
believe
that
thou
hast
sent
me
;
and
the
glory

thou
gavest

I
have

that

we

in

that
they
may
be
made
perfect
in
one

and
that
the
world

the
Apostle
commends
the
Churches
for
their
patience
and
faith
in
all
their
persecutions
and
tribulations
,
that
they
endured
,
(
as
the
Saints
endure
at
this
day
)
which
is
(
saith
he
)
a
manifest
token
of
the
righteous
●udgements
of
God
,
that
ye
may
be
counted
worthy
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
for
which
also
ye
suffer
;
seeing
it
is
a
righteous
thing
with
God
to
reco●pence
tribulat●on
to
them
that
trouble
you
;
and
to
you
who
are
troubled
rest
with
us
,
when
the
Lord
Jesus
shall
be
revealed
from
Heaven
with
his
mighty
Angels
in
flaming
fire
,
(
I
believe
few
will
deny
,
but
own
this
to
be
his
second
coming
in
power
and
glory
)
taking
vengeance
on
all
them
that
know
not
God
,
and
that
obey
not
the
Gospel
of
our
Lord
●esu●
Christ
,
who
shall
be
punished
with
everlasting
destruction
,
(
let
all
persecutors
and
oppressors
of
the
Saints
,
dread
and
fear
,
and
take
warning
,
lest
for
ever
they
be
cast
out
)
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
glory
of
his

,
when
h●
shall
come
to
be
glorified

this

a
fleshly
,

a
glorious
appearance

and
to
be
admired

Thus
far
I
answer
for
the
despised
Quakers
,
who
under

patiently
wait
for
that

Acquaints
with
a
seventh
Agreement
of
Ranters
and
Quakers
,
in
denying
that
there
shall
ever
be
any
other
Kingdom
of
Iesus
Christ
but
what
is
within
men
,
and
that
this
Kingdom
is
in
all
men
.
Ans.
According
as
by
Scripture
I
have
answered
concerning
Christs
coming
to
be
glorified
in
his
Saints
,
so
likewise
of
his
Kingdom
and
reign
;
for
where
he
rules
and
reigns
,
there
is
his
Kingdom
established
;
and
that
also
this
Kingdom
is
set
up
within
the
Saints
;
and
he
rules
in
them
in
power
,
in
which
the
Kingdom
stands
;
and
Enoch
prophesied
of
the
great
day
of
the
Lord
,
saying
,
Behold
,
the
Lord
cometh
with
(
or
in
)
ten
thousand
of
his
Saints
,
to
execute
judgement
upon
all
,
and
to
convince
all
that
are
ungodly
among
them
,
of
all
their
ungodly
deeds
which
they
have
ungodly
committed
,
and
of
all
their
hard
speeches
which
ungodly
sinners
have
spoken
against
him
:
Isaiah
also
prophesied
of
the
glorious
Kingdom
and
reign
of
Christ
,
as
in
Isa

upon

,
to
order
it
,
and
to
establish
it
with
judgement
and
with
justice
,
from
henceforth
even
for
ever
;
the
zeal
of
the
Lord
of
Hosts
will
perform
this
:
This
is
that
which
we
wait
for
.
And
saith
Christ
whom
the
Prophets
prophesied
of
,
being
demanded
when
the
Kingdom
of
God
should
come
,
he
answered
them
and
said
,
The
Kingdom
of
God
cometh
not
with
observation
,
neither
shall
they
say
,
Lo
here
,
or
lo
there
;
for
behold
,
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
within
you
:
So
it
is
a
sound
truth
,
That
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
of
Jesus
Christ
,
which
stands
in
righteousnesse
,
is
within
men
.
But
that
it
is
onely
within
,
and
no
where
else
,
I
never
heard
any
one
say
so
;
for
the
glory
of
this
Kingdom
of
Jesus
Christ
shall
break
forth
and
spread
over
Nations
,
and
Truth
and
Peace
shall
meet
together
,
and
Righteousnesse
shall
cover
the
earth
as
the
Waters
cover
the
Seas
;
then
shall
the
Righteous
rejoice
,
and
they
who
have
passed
through
many
tribulations
(
and
have
been
faithful
,
having
offered
up
their
lives
a
sacrifice
for
truth
and
righteousnesse
)
shall
reign
with
Christ
in
glory
;
so
blessed
are
they
that
patiently
wait
in
time
of
tribulation
;
though
now
ye
weep
and
mourn
,
yet
your
sorrow
shall
be
turned
into
joy
and
though
ye
sow
in
tears
,
yet
being
found
faithful
to
the
end
,
ye
shall
reap
in
joy
:
And
as
for
the
Kingdom
being
in
all
men
;
I
say
,
As
a
Grain
of
Mustard-seed
,
(
which
Christ
compares
the
Kingdom
of
God
unto
)
so
it
may
be
said
to
be
in
all
men
.
So
in
the
fear
of
God
let
all
wait
who
love
the
appearance
of
God
,
that
the
Son
of
God
,
and
his
life
of
Righteousnesse
may
be
revealed
in
you
,
that
sin
and
unrighteousnesse
may
by
his
life
and
power
be
destroyed
.
And
this
those
called
Quakers
do
wait
for

the

is
within

,
and
that
there
is
no

And
Christ
being
the
Resurrection
,
as
he
saith
himself
,
and
is
within
,
then
the
resurrection
is
within
;
but
that
there
is
no
other
but
that
within
,
I
never
heard
any
of
those
called
Quakers
say
or
affirm
such
a
thing
;
let
the
Ranters
answer
for
themselves
if
they
will
.
The
resurrection
(
as
also
Christ
)
is
a
great
Mystery
,
which
I
do
exhort
all
in
patience
in
the
light
to
wait
for
the
true
understanding
of
it
,
that
ye
may
know
Christ
,
and
the
power
of
his
resurrection
,
and
the
fellowship
of
his
sufferings
,
being
made
conformable
unto
his
death
;
for
all
have
fallen
from
God
into
the
pit
of
pollution
and
misery
,
and
are
dead
in
sins
and
trespasses
,
and
except
there
be
a
rising
out
of
the
pit
,
and
be
reconciled
to
God
,
in
vain
is
all
preaching
,
for
if
the
dead
rise
not
,
then
is
all
preaching
vain
.
But
some
will
say
,
How
are
the
dead
raised
up
?
and
with
what
bodyes
do
they
come
?
I
answer
with
the
Apostle
,
Thou
fool
,
that
which
thou
sowest
is
not
quickned
except
it
dye
;
and
that
which
thou
sowest
,
thou
sowest
not
that
body
that
shall
be
,
but
bare
Grain
,
but
God
giveth
it
a
body
as
it
hath
pleased
him
,
and
to
every
seed
his
own
body
,
&
c
.
●o
also
is
the
resurrection
of
the
dead
;
it
is
sowed
in
corruption
,
and
raised
in
incorruption
;
it
is
sown
in
dishonor
,
it
is
raised
in
glory
;
it
is
sown
in
weakness
,
it
is
raised
in
power
,
&c.
but
this
I
say
Brethren
,
That
flesh
and
blood
cannot
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
neither
doth
corruption
inherit
incorruption
;
but
I
know
that
this
is
a
great
Mystery
,
and
doth
and
will
confound
all
the
wisdom
of
the
World
;
my
advice
is
for
every
one
to
be
faithful
according
to
the
measure
of
light
made
manifest
in
them
;
as
any
evil
is
discovered
and
made
manifest
,
refrain
and
avoid
it
;
and
as
truth
is
discovered
,
imbrace
it
,
and
walk
in
it
;
and
this
is
safe
for
all
,
no
man
being
condemned
for
that
which
he
knows
not
,
but
for
that
which
he
knows
and
doth
not
practise
;
for
he
that
knows
to
do
good
,
and
doth
it
not
,
to
him
it
is
sin
;
and
let
not
any
be
too
curious
to
dive
into
things
above
their
measures
,
or
to
find
out
things
by
their
own
wit
and
skill
,
for
that
is
a
running
before
the
Lord
,
and
such
run
into
error
and
confusion
,
and
there
be
all
the
strifes
and
contentions
,
and
the
wranglings
about
Religion
,
and
falling
out
about
meanings
of
the
Scriptures
.
I
find
it
the
safest
way
to
wait
on
the
Lord
in
the
light
,
and
taking
his
advice
and
counsel
in
all
things
;
and
so
the
Lord
going
before
,
it
is
safe
to
follow
him
,
but
whosoever
goes
before
,
or
stayes
behind
,
are
left
in
the
dark
,
and
as
there
is
a
growing
up
in
the
truth
,
the
hidden
Mysteries
comes
to
be
opened
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
for
the
spirit
searcheth
all
things
,
yea
the
deep
things
of
God
.
There
be
many
other
in
this
Section
which
I
shall
not
need
to
wade
thorow
,
for
they
being
bottomed
upon
a
false
foundation
,
as
that
we
deny
the
resurrection
,
which
we
do
not
,
but
wait
(
as
I
have
said
)
to
know
Christ
,
and
the
power
of
his
resurrection
;
so
the
foundation
being
taken
away
,
the
building
will
soon
fall
.
One
thing
I
take
notice
of
which
he
charges
upon
one
of
the
Quakers
,
his
words
are
these
;
One
of
the
Quakers
lately
urged
the
old
Athiestical
supposition
;
Suppose
a
man
drowned
in
the
sea
a
thousand
years
since
,
eaten
by
fishes
,
those
fishes
eaten
by
men
,
those
men
eaten
by
worm●
,
&c.
how
sh●ll
we
imagine
that
this
body
shall
be
raised
again
?
This
he
charges
upon
one
of
the
Quakers
,
which
I
do
believe
is
a
lye
,
for
it
is
not
our
Language
,
we
do
not
speak
such
things
,
for
we
are
in
that
faith
by
which
Mountains
are
removed
,
and
we
know
that
with
God
all
things
are
possible
;
I
shall
lay
it
upon
those
whoown
the
spirit
of
Brown
to
mention
who
it
was
that
spoke
those
words
,
for
they
savour
more
like
the
words
of
those
whom
he
calls
Ranters
,
then
any
of
those
who
bear
the
Name
of
Quakers
.
As
for
his
accusing
of
us
for
laying
aside
the
Scriptures
,
that
is
but
a
rehearsing
of
his
former
accusation
over
again
,
which
I
have
fully
answered
before
;
but
still
I
say
,
That
all
must
come
to
the
true
light
,
that
it
may
guide
them
and
lead
them
in
all
things
;
for
none
can
understand
the
Sc●ptures
but
by
the
light
,
none
walks
in
unity
but
those
who
walk
in
the
light
;
therefore
while
ye
have
the
light
,
believe
in
the
light
,
that
ye
may
become
the
children
of
the
light
▪
and
if
we
walk
in
the
light
,
as
he
is
in
the
light
,
we
have
fellowship
one
with
another
,
and
the
blood
of
Jesus
Christ
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
.

Makes
mention
of
the
eleventh
agreement
of
the
Rante●s
and
Quakers
,
boasting
of
their
perfection
,
and
alledging
that
it
is
attainable
by
them
,
and
all
men
by
the
light
within
them
.
Ans.
Boasting
we
do
deny
,
but
perfection
we
own
,
for
it
is
the
life
of
pure
Religion
;
and
all
who
deny
perfection
,
denies
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
the
end
for
which
he
gave
forth
the
true
Ministry
;
for
when
he
ascended
on
high
,
he
gave
gifts
unto
men
,
and
all
his
gifts
are
perfect
,
and
are
for
the
perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
till
they
all
come
into
the
unity
of
the
faith
,
and
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God
,
unto
a
perfect
man
,
as
in
Eph.
4.
11
,
12
,
13.
for
God
is
perfect
,
and
so
are
all
his
Works
,
and
nothing
can
guide
in
his
way
,
and
lead
unto
him
who
is
perfect
,
but
that
which
comes
from
him
which
is
perfect
:
But
I
see
the
drift
and
the
subtilty
of
the
Serpent
in
this
thing
,
in
denying
perfection
,
is
,
that
he
may
drive
and
carry
on
his
own
work
which
is
imperfect
;
and
I
see
that
these
two
things
are
chiefly
opposed
by
Satans
Instruments
,
(
who
have
a
form
of
godliness
,
but
denies
the
power
which
perfecteth
and
brings
to
perfection
)
that
is
,
they
deny
the
light
that
every
man
is
enlightned
withall
(
which
we
say
comes
from
God
through
Jesus
Christ
)
calling
it
a
low
thing
,
and
a
natural
light
.
Secondly
,
they
deny
perfection
on
this
side
of
the
Grave
,
looking
on
that
to
be
too
high
to
attain
unto
,
though
Christ
himself
did
teach
it
,
and
give
it
forth
as
a
thing
possible
to
be
attained
,
saying
,
Be
ye
perfe●t
as
your
heavenly
Fathe●
is
perfe●t
Matth
.

but
these
two
things
are
denyed
by
most
,
or
all
of
the
professing
peofessing
People
;
one
is
too
high
,
and
the
other
too
low
for
them
,
and
so
they
deny
both
the
beginning
and
the
end
of
pure
Religion
;
For
perfection
,
though
it
be
high
and
glorious
,
yet
it
is
that
which
every
true
Christian
ought
earnestly
to
presse
after
,
and
with
all
diligence
to
give
heed
unto
the
teachings
of
the
spirit
of
God
and
a
bide
in
the
Truth
untill
they
come
to
the
fulnesse
of
Christ
,
to
be
heirs
,
yea
,
jointheirs
with
him
,
as
the
Apostle
declares
:
And
the
Light
which
comes
from
Christ
though
it
be
never
so
little
,
as
a
grain
of
mustard-seed
,
yet
is
it
pure
,
and
gives
the
entrance
into
the
kingdome
of
God
and
guides
and
leads
in
the
way
of
God
,
unto
the
perfect
day
,
and
to
this
must
all
bow
,
and
all
crowns
must
be
laid
down
at
Jesus
feet
,
that
is
low
;
they
must
come
down
to
a
measure
,
and
perfect
gift
,
and
in
that
wait
in
the
Faith
for
victory
over
all
imperfections
;
for
whatsoever
is
born
of
God
overcomes
the
World
,
and
that
which
gives
victory
is
the
living
faith
:
So
those
that
deny
the
Light
,
denyes
that
which
opens
the
mystery
,
and
are
climbing
up
another
way
.
And
as
for
Brown's
saying
,
That
all
men
are
perfect
by
the
Light
within
.
I
say
,
those
who
love
and
walk
in
the
Light
,
are
led
to
the
perfect
day
;
but
those
that
hate
the
Light
,
and
deny
it
,
are
left
in
the
dark
,
and
the
Light
is
their
condemnation
.
As
for
the
rest
of
his
Stuffe
,
I
shall
not
need
further
to
speak
;
for
we
all
wait
for
a
further
glory
then
yet
is
manifested
;
I
say
with
the
Apostle
,
If
in
this
life
onely
we
have
hope
in
Christ
,
then
are
we
of
all
men
most
miserable
.
And
as
for
his
saying
,
That
where
the
Scriptures
are
not
,
&c.
men
may
doe
the
th●ngs
contained
in
the
Law
.
To
which
I
answer
,
If
they
having
not
the
Law
,
nor
the
Scriptures
without
them
,
do
the
things
contained
in
the
Law
,
they
shall
condemn
you
who
have
the
Law
and
the
Scriptures
,
and
yet
live
in
the
transgression
of
the
Law
,
For
as
many
as
have
sinned
without
Law
,
shall
also
perish
without
Law
;
and
as
many
as
have
sinned
in
the
Law
shal
be
judged
by
the
Law
;
for
not
the
hearers
of
the
Law
are
just
before
God
,
hut
the
doers
of
the
Law
shall
be
justified
.

Proveth
that
the
Righteousness
of
the
Quakers
is
but
legall
,
and
so
not
exceeding
the
Righteousness
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
.
[

If
his
saying
so
were
a
proof
,
his
Section
might
stand
;
but
his
word
,
together
with
all
his
shifts
,
are
no
proof
,
but
without
foundation
,
and
so
his
words
must
needs
fall
to
the
ground
:
Our
righteousnesse
which
we
are
cloathed
with
,
is
not
of
our selves
,
but
it
is
the
Righteousnesse
of
Christ
;
and
we
are
made
the
Righteousness
of
God
in
,
and
through
him
;
and
it
is
not
Legal
from
a
Law
without
,
as
the
Righteousnesse
of
the
Scribes
and
Pharises
was
,
but
it
is
Spirituall
from
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
life
in
Christ
Jesus
manifested
in
us
,
from
which
our
works
,
words
,
and
actions
proceed
;
and
so
we
witnesse
the
axe
to
be
laid
to
the
root
of
the
tree
,
and
the
evill
tree
cut
down
,
and
cast
into
the
fire
of
the
wrath
of
God
:
And
the
Grace
of
God
which
hath
brought
Salvation
is
our
Teacher
,
and
we
are
thereby
taught
to
deny
ungodlinesse
and
worldly
lusts
,
to
live
soberly
and
righteously
in
this
present
World
;
and
We
know
and
have
experience
of
the
work
of
God
in
us
,
which
hath
changed
our
hearts
and
minds
,
and
made
clean
the
inside
;
and
so
We
know
,
That
this
our
righteousnesse
doth
exceed
that
of
the
Pharises
,
and
also
of
the
Baptists
,
whose
Law
,
and
Commandements
,
and
Right●ousnesse
is
without
,
which
is
a
selfe
Righteousnesse
,
which
the
Lord
doth
not
accept
of
.
As
for
his
false
accusation
,
Judging
our
sufferings
to
be
for
headlesse
,
heedlesse
,
tumultuous
carriage
,
and
such
lik●

I
leave
that
to
the
Lord
who
knows
the
secrets
of
our

,
to
Judge
betwixt

who
in
his
time
will
avenge
himself
of
his
Adversaries

the
Cause
of

Manifesteth
that
the
Quakers
Religion
,
(
however
seeming
serious
and
strict
)
is
the
most
easie
,
selfe
exalting
,
flesh-pleasing
,
sin-cherishing
Religion
in
the
World
.
[
Answ
.
]
Our
Religion
is
that
which
keeps
us
out
of
the
spots
and
pollutions
of
the
World
;
and
it
is
not
onely
seeming
but
seriously
strict
,
and
the
way
is
strait
and
narrow
,
and
few
finds
it
;
and
not
easie
to
the
Flesh
,
but
a
Crosse
and
a
selfe

,
Flesh
crucifying
,
and
Sin-condemning
Religion
:
For
the
Crosse
of
Christ
is
the
power
of
God
,
which
slayes
the
enmity
which
is
against
God
,
and
crucifies
the
carnall
minde
,
and
the
flesh
,
with
the
affections
,
and
Lusts
:
yea
,
this
way
is
so
strait
that
there
is
no
liberty
for
a
vain
thought
nor
wicked
desire
,
nor
any
liberty
given
to
the
tongue
to
speak
vain
words
:
but
it
limits
the
carnall
mind
,
and
crucifies
the
thoughts
,
and
vain
imaginations
,
and
bridles
the
tongue
,
and
keeps
in
the
fear
of
God

few
and
savory
words
,
and
sober
and
good

;

and

As
for
all
his
false
accusations
,
and
lying
consequences
drawn
from
them
in
this
Section
,
I
shall
passe
by
them
,
as
not
worthy
taking
notice
of
,
having
spoken
of

of
them

,
according
to
the
Scripture
,
and
mind
of
the
Spirit
without
carnall
apprehensions
,
or
private
interpretation
I
own
;
and
as
moved
and
guided
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
all
things
that
tend
to
edification
and
holy
life
We
practise
not
dareing
(
as
I
said
before
,
)
run
into
any
thing
in
our
own
wills
by
formall
imitation
,
but
as
the
Lord
leads
and
in
following
of
him
We
shall
have
inward
joy
and
peace
,
though
We
be
hated
amongst
men
of
the
World
.
And
as
for
honouring
of
Magistrates
,
and
other
Governours
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
without
respecting
persons
,
let
our
lives
judge
;
for
as
I
have
said
,
to
doe
well
,
and
walk
uprightly
,
is
an
honour
to
the
Magistrates
;
and
on
the
contrary
,
to
doe
evill
is
their
dishonnour
,
and
according
to
the
guift
,
and
power
of
God
manifested
,
We
esteem
one
another
,
and
in
honnour
preferring
one
another
,
not
in
respect
to
the
person
of
the
Creature
because
of
his
Apparell
,
or
the
like
,
but
in
love
and
respect
to
the
Creatour
,
whose
Image
of
truth
and
righteousnesse
the
Creature
bears
;
and
to
receive
this
Principle
,
would
not
make
the
Magistrates
and
Officers
,
civil
or
military
,
contemptible
,
(
as
is
falsly
alledged
)
but
truly
famous
and
honourable
.
And
as
for
putting
off
the
Hat
,
which
is
become
such
a
great
matter
amongst
this
Generation
,
that
many
are
cast
out
of
places
and
preferment
both
Civill
and
Military
,
though
in
the
heat
of
the
day
they
have
ventured
goods
,
and
lives
▪
and
spent
their
bloud
;
and
now
for
such
a
small
thing
to
be
cast
off
,
What
is
it
that
is
so
offended
?
Is
it
any
thing
of
God
?
surely
no
;
but
proud
exalted
flesh
doth
storm
and
rage
,
because
it
cannot
have
the
honour
which
men
seek
for
one
of
another
,
which
is
the
honnour
below
,
a
trifle
,
a
Bauble
,
and
a
Complement
;
yet
it
pleaseth
the
Lord
by
such
a
despised
foolish
thing
,
to
confound
the
Wisedome
of
the
Wise
;
but
what
Law
is
there
for
any
such
thing
?
When
did
M●ses
,
Joshua
,
Solomon
,
or
any
of
the
Judges
or
Rulers
in
Israel
,
command
or
require
any
such
thing
?
and
where
there
is
no
Law
there
is
no
transgression
.
If
any
should
do
it
out
of
stubbornesse
,
or
contempt
to
any
ones
person
;
I
should
be
as
ready
to
judge
it
,
and
condemne
it
,
as
any
one
;
But
where
it
is
done
for
Conscience
sake
,
not
daring
to
respect
the
person
of
the
Rich
,
nor
despise
the
person
of
the
poor
,
I
dare
not
deny
,
but
dearly
own
,
and
suffer
with
them
in
it
:
Therefore
all
ye
that
make
such
a
great
matter
of
it
,
and
cause
many
to
suffer
for
it
,
look
you
to
it
,
for
assuredly
it
will
fall
upon
you
at
the
last
,
though
now
you
make
a
light
matter
of
it
.
And
as
for
saying
Thou
or
Thee
to
any
particular
person
it
is
a
true
and
Scripture
Language
;
and
that
which
cannot
bear
it
,
is
not
of
God
,
but
proud
flesh
exalted
.
And
for
naming
the
daies
of
the
week
,
and
the
moneths
of
the
year
by
their
proper
names
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
truth
,
we
must
needs
own
;
and
though
this
,
he
compares
to
the
Tithing
of
Mint
,
Annise
,
and
Cummin
:
yet
it
is
not
to
be
neglected
:
What
,
so
many
years
been
professors
,
and
not
come
out
of
the
heathenish
language
,
as
January
,
February
,
and
the
like
!
Sunday
,
Moonsday
,
Tuesday
!
&c.
Is
not
this
a
shame
to
your
profession
?
may
not
the
Jewes
(
who
do
not
own
Christ
come
)
condemn
you
in
these
things
:
and
though
some
of
you
may
say
these
are
small
matters
;
I
say
,
they
are
true
,
and
ought
not
to
be
neglected
;
for
he
that
is
unjust
in
the
least
,
is
unjust
also
in
much
;
and
as
for
the
greater
things
,
Judgement
,
mercy
,
and
faith
,
We
doe
not
neglect
,
though
it
be
the
work
of
Satan
to
cast
his
fiery
darts
and
false
aspersions
upon

declared

from

if

I

not

the

Spiritual

it
was

the

this
Word

God
was
within

that
gave
forth

by

they

the

given
forth

Discovereth
some
contradictions
,
and
absurdities
,
and
blasphemous
consequences
that
do
arise
from
the
Quakers
Tenets
.
[
Answ
.
]
The
contradictions
,
absurdities
,
and
blasphemous
consequences
,
are
his
own
,
raised
out
of
the
bottomless
pit
,
begotten
by
the
Father
of
lies
,
and
conceived
in
his
mischievous
and
deceitfull
heart
,
and
brought
forth
by
the
power
of
darknesse
;
which
by
the
true
Light
is
discovered
,
as
one
makeing
plots
,
and
then
discovering
of
them
.
The
foundation
on
which
he
builds
all
his
lying
and
blasphemous
consequences
,
is
without
a
foundation
,
and
so
I
leave
them
to
die
and
fall
of
themselves
,
for
I
have
spoken
of
them
before
:
As
for
Baptizeing
with
water
(
which
is
the
chief
thing
which
in
this
Section
he
is
pleading
for
)
what
the
Apostles
did
either
by
command
or
permission
,
I
do
not
deny
,
nor
judge
them
for
any
such
action
:
And
if
any
one
in
these
dayes
can
truely
say
that
he
hath
a
Commission
from
the
Lord
to
go
and
Baptize
with
Water
,
let
him
go
,
and
do
his
duty
,
and
not
lye
loytering
in
one
place
,
cavilling
and
contending
about
words
:
However
,
let
all
beware
of
running
before
they
be
sent
,
left
by
the
Lord
they
be
called
into
question
,
and
while
they
preach
to
others
,
themselves
be
a
cast-away
:
But
I
was
not
sent
to
baptize
;
but
to
preach
,
as
was
Paul
,
1
Cor
.
1.
17.
who
saith
,
Christ
sent
me
not
to
baptize
,
but
to
preach
the
Gospell
,
&c.
And
doubtlesse
if
that
Commission
which
Christ
gave
to
his
Disciples
,
Matth
.
28.
19
,
20.
had
extended
unto
all
that
should
come
after
them
,
then
surely
it
would
have
been
of
force
unto
Paul
,
who
was
called
into
the
Ministery
after
that
;
and
yet
he
saith
plainly
,
He
was
not
sent
to
baptize
,
&c.
Let
all
those
called
Baptists
read
and
consider
.
And
whereas
he
saith
,
Blessed
be
Jehovah's
Name
the
folly
absurdities
,
&c.
of
these
men
is
in
some
measure
made
manifest
.
I
say
(
as
is
plainly
demonstrated
)
his
own
folly
is
made
manifest
in
uttering
forth
so
many
groundlesse
lyes
,
and
false
accusations
;
however
the
truth
is
the
same
,
and
the
foundation
of
God
stands
sure
and
cannot
be
moved
,
and
We
are
built
upon
the
Rock
and
sure
foundation
,
and
are
cloathed
with
innocency
,
and
all
the
powers
of
darknesse
cannot
move
us
,
nor
stain
the
garments
of
innocency
:
Glory
to
God
on
high
who
hath
strengthened
us
with
his
power
to
stand
in
the
stormy
day
.
Some
other
things
there
be
in
this
Section
which
may
I
leav
to
wither
and
decay
of
themselves
;
onely
a
few
things
I
further
take
notice
of
.
He
saies
,
That
they
say
that
God
and
Christ
dwels
,
essentially
in
them
,
or
according
to
the
Divine
Being
;
or
,
that
the
Godhead
dwells
in
them
bodily
;
for
they
say
,
the
Father
dwells
in
them
as
he
did
in
the
Son
.
[
Answ
]
As
this
is
laid
down
by
him
,
it
is
false
;
yet
the
Truth
I
shall
bear
witnesse
unto
:
As
for
the
word
[
essentially
]
It
is
an
expression
stoln
,
or
borrowed
from
some
of
the
same
generation
of
opposers
;
but
God
and
Christ
dwelling
in
us
according
to
the
Scripture
,
Joh
.
17.
21
,
23.
We
own
and
witnesse
according
to
our
measures
,
as
God
hath
said
,
I
will
dwell
in
them
and
walk
in
them
,
2
Cor
.
6.
16
,
17.
and
he
that
that
hath
not
the
Spirit
of
Christ
is
none
of
his
,
Rom.
8.
9.
And
know
ye
not
your
own
selves
how
that
Jesus
Christ
is
in
you
except
you
be
Reprobates
,
2
Cor
.
13.
5.
As
for
his
saying
,
They
cry
down
all
such
as
delight
in
searching
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
and
in
obeying
King
Jesus
,
&c.
Which
I
say
is
false
;
and
I
lay
it
upon
all
the
Adherents
of
Brown
,
to
prove
what
is
asserted
;
or
else
let
shame
and
silence
stop
their
mouths
.
And
we
do
follow
Christ
as
an
example
,
who
was
a
pattern
of
meeknesse
and
humility
,
who
saith
,
Come
unto
me
all
you
that
labour
,
and
are
heavy
laden
;
take
my
yoke
upon
you
,
Mat
.
11
,
28
,
29.
and
learn
of
me
,
I
am
meek
and
lowly
in
heart
,
and
you
shall
find
rest
to
your
souls
:
and
blessed
be
his
Name
,
we
have
found
a
resting
place
,
and
peace
to
our
souls
which
none
can
take
from
us
,
which
we
value
more
then
all
the
favour
,
or
the
frowns
and
reproaches
of
ungodly
men
.
And
as
for
his
saying
,
We
maintain
mens
running
naked
,
as
the
Prophet
Isaiah
did
,
Isa
.
20.
1
,
2.
To
which
I
say
,
if
any
in
their
wills
by
imitation
from
Isaiah
,
or
any
other
without
a
Comission
from
the
Lord
do
run
naked
we
doe
deny
it
in
them
.
But
if
any
by
the
power
of
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
be
moved
to
put
off
their
cloaths
,
to
be
a
naked
sign
to
this
generation
of
ungodly
ones
,
that
they
may
see
their
shame
,
and
that
their
nakednesse
may
appear
,
and
be
made
manifest
,
we
do
own
such
a
thing
and
maintain
it
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
Though
it
be
strange
and
wonderfull
to
the
World
;
knowing
this
,
that
the
works
of
God
are
strange
and
wonderfull
,
and
crosses
the
expectation
of
man
;
and
therefore
because
it
is
not
in
their
way
,
and
according
to
their
expectation
,
do
they
rage
and
swell
,
and
oppose
,
blaspheme
,
and
reproach
,
and
cry
out
with
open
mouth
,
even
all
sorts
of
professors
and
prophane
ones
,
though
at
difference
amongst
themselves
,
yet
with
one
consent
join
together
to
oppose
the
appearance
of
truth
,
and
with
all
their
strength
doe
set
themselves
against
it
.
But
who
can
lay
any
thing
to
the
charge
of
Gods
elect
?
for
if
God
be
for
us
(
as
we
have
assurance
of
it
)
who
can
be
against
us
.

Deriveth
the
Pedigree
and
descent
of
the
Quakers
.
[
Answ
.
]
Our
Pedigree
is
ancient
even
from
the
power
of
God
,
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
which
made
Isaac
to
tremble
,
Gen.
27.
33.
and
Moses
to
fear
and
quake
,
Heb
.
12.

So
it
is
no
new
thing
,
(
though
a
strange
thing
to
the
World
)
to
quake
and
tremble
at
the
word
of
the
Lord
;
besides
we
have
a
cloud
of
Witnesses
,
and
many
examples
in
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
to
testifie
with
us
of
the
antiquity
of
our
Religion
,
which
is
wrought
out
with
fear
and
trembling
,
Phil

And
as
for
Browns
derivation
of
our
pedigree
and
descent
,
it
is
false
,
and
no
Truth
in
it
,
and
it
I
doe
deny
,
and
the
Word
of
God
,
own
which
was
in
the
beginning
,
Joh

and
this
is
the
man
whom
the
Lord
doth
love
and
regard
,
who
is
of
a
meek
and
a
contrite
spirit
and
trembleth
at
his
Word
,
as
saith
the
Prophet
Isa

:
For
other
of
the
false
accusations
mentioned
in
this
Section
I
turn
them
back
into
the
bottomlesse
pit
from
whence
they
proceeded
,
not
worthy
an
answer
.
And
for
our
foundation
,
(
as
I
have
said
before
)
it
is
the
true
and
sure
foundation
which
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
were
built
upon
,
Jesus
Christ
being
the
corner-stone
;
and
our
building
is
not
upon
persons
,
but
upon
the
power
of
God
.
One
thing
more
I
take
notice
of
;
he
saith
,
They
are
a-kin
to
the
Antinomians
in
many
things
;
in
particular
in
this
,
I
never
(
saith
he
,
)
heard
any
of
the
Ringleaders
,
[
Paul
was
called
a
Ringleader
]
of
them
pray
for
the
remission
of
sins
.
To
which
I
say
,
we
have
prayed
unto
the
Lord
for
the
remission
of
our
sins
,
&
asking
in
faith
,
our
petition
is
granted
,
and
we
have
received
the
remission
of
our
sins
;
and
receiving
this
favour
from
the
Lord
,
what
remains
,
but
all
holy
praises
and
thanksgiving
be
given
to
God
on
high
,
for
his
loving
kindnesse
,
praying
continually
to
him
for
his
Almighty
power
to
preserve
and
keep
us
pure
and
single
unto
himself
out
of
all
entanglement
,
and
pollutions
of
the
World
,
that
we
may
be
presented
unto
him
holy
and
blamelesse
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Saviour
,
who
hath
saved
us
from
our
sins

do
deny
,
and
his
expression
of
frighting
people
out
of
their
sins
;
But
Repentance
we
preach
,
and
the
fear
of
God
,
according
to
Scriptures
,
by
which
men
depart
from
sin
,
for
the
fear
of
God
is
the
beginning
of
wisdom
,
and
the
fear
of
God
is
a
fountain
of
life
to
depart
from
the
snares
of
death
,
and
by
the
fear
of
God
which
we
declare
and
preach
,
men
do
depart
from
iniquity
,
and
by
it
do
leave
their
lying
,
swearing
,
drunkenness
,
covetousness
,
&c.
and
many
seeing
the
vanity
of
Apparell
,
do
in
the
fear
of
God
cast
of
needlesse
,
and
superfluous
things
,
as
silver-lace
,
and
ribbons
,
and
such
like
;
which
have
been
invented
by
the
devilish
,
and
earthly
wisdom
,
to
maintain
the
devils
kingdome
of
pride
,
which
makes
the
devill
and
his
instruments
to
scoff
and
rage
,
because
we
cannot
bow
to
their
image
of
pride
and
vain-glory
,
nor
respect
the
persons
of
the
rich
because
of
their
gaudy
attire
,
Therefore
do
they
accuse
us
of
not
giving
(
as
they
say
)
civil
respect
unto
men
,
when
we
see
it
is
pride
and
deceipt
in
them
that
would
be
respected
,
and
that
which
is
of
the
world
,
seeking
honnor
one
of
another
,
which
Christ
did
not
,
neither
respected
he
the
persons
of
men
,
as
his
enemies
did
confess
;
and
we
who
are
subject
to
him
▪
do
follow
him
as
an
examples
,
and
dare
not
give
that
honour
to
man
,
which
belongs
to
God
;
but
having
spoken
of
these
things
before
,
I
shall
go
on
,
and
hast
to
an
end
of
this
stuff
,
being
out
of
my
life
to
wade
in
such
mud
and
mire
.
And
we
are
taught
to
live
strictly
,
not
onely
to
refrain
from
gross
sins
,
but
from
every
motion
and
appearance
of
evill
,
as
by
the
true
Light
in
us
it
is
made
manifest
;
and
so
this
our
departing
from
iniquity
,
and
living
soberly
and
righteously
,
is
not
onely
from
a
Law
,
or
Word
without
us
,
but
by
the
true
Fear
of
God
placed
in
our
hearts
,
and
by
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
life
in
Christ
Jesus
in
us
,
as
I
have
said
before
;
and
for
saying
Thee
and
Thou
to
every
single
person
,
and
for
childrento
say
Thou
,
to
Father
or
to
Mother
is
no
shame
,
(
as
this
gainsayer
would
make
it
)
but
the
practice
of
the
children
of
God
,
as
is
recorded
in
Scripture
.
And
whereas
he
speaks
of
takeing
away
the
honor
due
to
the
Creatour
,
and
giving
it
to
the
Creature
.
His
ground
is
,
because
some
go
about
to
maintain
that
the
Light
within
doth
move
the
Creature
to
seek
,
and
serve
God
&c.
I
say
the
Creature
of
himself
can
do
nothing
,
as
to
the
service
of
God
,
for
it
is
God
that
works
in
us
both
to
wil
and
to
do
;
and
God
having
through
Jesus
Christ
given
unto
every
man
light
,
or
a
measure
of
his
spirit
,
(
as
Brown
confesseth
)
this
Light
moving
the
Creature
to
seek
after
God
,
this
is
not
to
give
honour
to
the
Creature
,
but
to
the
Creator
;
who
worketh
in
the
Creature
a
will
and
a
desire
to
do
the
will
of
God
.
For
the
wrath
of
God
is
revealed
from
heaven
against
all
ungodlynesse
and
unrighteousness
of
men
,
who
hold
the
Truth
in
unrighteousness
,
because
that
which
may
be
known
of
God
is
manifest
in
them
,
for
God
hath
shewed
it
unto
them
.

about
the
Apostles
Commission
,
concerning
their
being
sent
to
Baptize
,
&c.
He
saith
,
Our
Lord
Jesus
gave
the
Apostles
their
Commission
Math
.

:

And
as
to
them
,
so
to
all
those
that
teach
men
to
observe
all
his
commands
,
to
the
end
of
the
World
;
and
they
who
teach
have
the
same
Commission
with
the
Apostl●s
.
To
which
I
answer
;
For
the
first
,
That
our
Lord
Iesus
gave
the
Apostles
Commission
Mathew
.
28.
I
grant
.
But
for
the
other
,
That
as
he
gave
it
to
them
,
so
to
all
others
that
teach
men
to
observ●
all
his
commands
,
&c.
I
do
deny
:
For
Paul
came
after
that
Commission
was
given
forth
into
the
Ministry
,
and
he
taught
men
to
observe
all
the
Commands
given
to
him
in
his
Commission
:
For
I
have
not
shunned
,
(
saith
he
)
to
declare
unto
you
[
all
]
the
counsel
of
God
,
Acts
29.
27.
Here
Paul
sheweth
that
he
had
not
neglected
any
thing
given
unto
him
;
and
yet
he
saith
to
the
Corinthians
,
That
he
was
not
sent
to
baptize
,
but
to
preach
the
Gospell
,
now
if
that
commission
had
extended
unto
all
,
as
to
baptize
;
Then
surely
,
it
would
have
been
of
force
un●o
Paul
;
but
by
what
is
declared
,
it
did
not
bind
him
as
to
baptize
,
as
is
declared
,
1
Cor

And
as
for
the
third
,
That
they
who
teach
have
the
same
commission
:
I
grant
,
that
those
who
are
true
Teachers
and
Ministers
are
commissioned
by
the
same
power
,
not
from
the
letter
or
declaration
of
the
Gospell
,
but
by
the
Power
and
Spirit
from
which
the
Declaration
was
written
;
but
that
all
who
teach
,
and
preach
from
the
Scriptures
,
have
the
same
Commission
with
the
Apostles
,
I
do
deny
;
for
there
be
many
false
Teachers
,
who
have
gotten
a
form
of
godliness
,
but
want
the
Power
,
and
such
are
they
that
run
,
and
the
Lord
never
sent
them
,
and
doth
not
profit
the
people
,
but
leads
silly
men
and
women
captive
laden
with
sin
,
and
led
away
with
divers
lusts
,
ever
learning
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
true
knowledge
of
God
:
For
though
many
may
be
expert
and
skilful
in
the
Scriptures
,
having
them
in
their
memory
to
talk
on
,
as
the
Pharisees
had
,
and
as
the
false
prophets
,
and
false
Apostles
had
;
yet
this
doth
not
make
them
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
,
nor
commission
them
to
preach
;
for
it
was
not
the
outward
declaration
and
writings
of
any
that
did
commission
and
impower
any
of
the
holy
men
of
God
to
preach
;
neither
were
they
allowed
so
to
do
,
without
power
from
on
high
to
commission
them
.
For
example
,
many
may
be
expert
and
skilful
in
the
laws
of
England
,
or
Scotland
,
and
may
know
much
,
and
yet
if
the
Powers
of
the
earth
,
do
not
give
them
Commission
,
and
authority
,
they
cannot
act
,
either
as
Justice
of
peace
,
or
in
any
other
office
,
to
execute
those
Laws
;
for
if
they
should
take
upon
them
do
to
such
a
thing
,
the
powers
of
the
Earth
would
call
them
into
question
;
even
so
all
those
who
in
their
own
wills
in
imitation
from
the
Scriptures
do
take
upon
them
to
preach
or
baptize
,
not
having
received
power
from
on
high
,
such
I
do
deny
;
and
let
all
such
be
assured
,
that
the
Lord
will
call
them
into
question
.
And
who
hath
required
such
things
at
your
hands
?
But
he
hath
shewed
unto
thee
,
Oh
man
!
whap
is
good
,
and
what
doth
the
Lord
require
of
thee
but
to
do
justly
?
