rely upon the Inward Instructions of the Lord when thou prayedst in that confused Manner as aforesaid consider it And did ever any wholy rely upon the inward Instructions of the Lord and their Hope perish bring one Example for this or else conclude thou hast blasphemed against the Lord and belyed him and his People in all Ages as thou hast And in p. 19. thou sayst Thou hadst Peace of Conscience by the powerful Work of God without thee Is this like Scripture-Language Surely thou hast got a peace and out of thy Trouble the wrong Way if it be so and into much more Trouble must thou come then ever before thou canst have true Peace with God The Lord hath spoken it For thy Flight was in the Winter as I told thee and thou hast fled the Cross and slipt thy Neck from under the Yoak of Christ Jesus which W. H. calls the Burthen Yo●k●● which is so indeed to all the Rebellious whose Tongues are at Liberty to lye and Slander as he hath done But did not the Saints and People of God in all Ages witness their Salvation and Peace of Conscience by the powerful Work of God within them Did not God work in them when their Salvation was wrought out with Fear and Trembling And did they not say God who commanded the Light to shine out of Darkness hath shined in our Hearts to give us the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the Face of Jesus Christ And we have this Treasure in earthen Vessells 2 Cor. 4. 6 7. Of which much more might be spoken We deny not the Work of God and Christ without as some have imagined but do also know as our Brethren did that no man knows the Things and Works of God which are spiritually discerned but by the Spirit of God and it s the same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead that dwells in his People which quickens their mortal Bodies And they never cryed up wholy without as you do but preached Christ in them after they had testified of his Appearance and Work without as you may read Rom. 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. And Christ Jesus preached the Kingdom of Heaven within People Luke 17. 20. And the true Worship of the Father in the Spirit and in the Truth Joh. 4. And said What if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend up where he was before It is the Spirit that quickneth the Flesh that profits nothing when they cryed how can this Man give us his Flesh to eat whose Minds were wholy without like many of you John 6. And said Peter 2 Epist Ch. 1. v. 19. We have also a more sure Word of Prophesie to which ye do well to take heed as unto a Light that shines in a dark place until the Day dawn and the Day-Star arise in your Hearts And Jesus is the bright and Morning-Star as ye may read Revel 22. 16. And Jesus Christ bid People believe in the Light that they might become the Children of the Light Joh. 6. 62. and so do we And he said He that hath an Ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches And the same Jesus said He that eateth my Flesh and drinketh my Blood hath Eternal Life And said the Apostle 1 John 1. 7. But if we walk in the Light as he is in the Light then have we Fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all Sin So they were to drink his Blood and that was it by which they were cleansed from Sin and had Eternal Life and if they drank it was it not then within them Read and understand for People have drunk Iniquity as an Ox drinks Water which hath defiled them as Christ Jesus said Mat. 15. 18 19. For out of the Heart proceeds evil Thoughts Murthers Adulteries Fornications Thefts false VVitness Blasphemies and these Things defile a man and Mark 7. 21 22 23. For from within out of the Heart of Men proceed evil Thoughts Adulteries Fornications Thefts Covetousness Wickedness Deceit Laciviousness an Evil Eye Blasphemy Pride Foolishness All these evil Things come from within and defile the Man Now must not these Evil Things be purged out according to that Saying of Paul 2 Tim. 2. 21. If a Man purge himself from these he shall be a Vessel unto Honour sanctified and meet for the Masters use and prepared unto every Good Work Is any fit for the Master's Use but who is purged and sanctified as aforesaid or prepared to every good Work till the Evil Works are laid aside purged out and forsaken Or can People serve both these Masters For he that committeth Sin is the Servant of Sin as it is written John 8. 34. 1 John 3. 8. Now how or by what must these Evil Things which defiles People be purged out seeing they are within them Must not the Antidote be taken inwardly to expel the Poyson that works within to the corrupting and endangering the Ruin of the Body What is it then must cleanse the Inward Man of Corruption and Defilement but the precious Blood of Jesus Christ as of a Lamb without Spot and Blemish Did not that Redeem People formerly from their Vain Conversations 1 Pet. 1. 18 19. Rev. 5. 9 10. And did they not drink it and bless the Lord and called it The Cup of Blessing But this is a Mystery hid from the Fleshly Birth all that are in the dark Imaginations of their own Brains as the Spiritual Birth was hid from Nicodemus who came by Night And did not God say I will dwell IN them and walk IN them c 2 Cor. 6. And does not the Scripture say By Mercy and Truth Iniquity is purged Prov. 16. And did not the Son of God the Truth and the Light of the World walk in the midst of the Golden Candle-sticks And did he not say He that hath an Ear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the Churches And is not God a Spirit and his Worship in the Spirit and in the Truth And is not the Spirit within and the Truth required in the Inward Parts And is not God Light Read and understand you that cry wholely without you you that clamour against the Light and Work of God within for we confess Jesus Christ to be come in the Flesh as it is written 1 Joh. 4 c. And so we are not of Antichrist as William Haworth doth falsly charge us in his Epistle to that Pamphlet aforesaid titled The Quaker Converted which is a Lye uttered in the very opening of his Mouth against us for which the Lord will plead with him For the Young-man whom he hath thus vainly boasted of was no Quaker as I have before shewed to any Unprejudiced Eye and by his own Confession but a poor tossed unstable bewildred Lad as may be seen who went to prove Religions with he knew not what as in the 3d page of his Book may be read and

Thing are the proper Subjects of this Righteousness as being now made meet to be Partakers of it Col. 1. 12. And we further testifie that the Historical or bare Belief or Knowledge of this Righteousness from the Letter only by the assent to the Truth thereof from the Natural Understanding is not sufficient or enough to make this Righteousness really or truly theirs but as the Father of the Returned Prodigal said to his Servants viz. Bring forth the best Robe and put it on him So this Righteousness must become ours by that Living Faith which purifies the Heart God the Father by his Spirit putting it on us and making it ours according to 1 Cor. 1. 30. But ye are of him in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us Wisdom and Righteousness c. Concerning the Blood of this Jesus of Nazareth c. VVe believe and testifie That his Blood exceeds not only the Blood of Bulls and Goats but the Blood of the Best Man or Men that ever was or shall be in the VVorld And we do in the Sight of God really own the Blood of the Son of Man both according to the History and in the Mystery as we do his Cross both as shed for us and to be drunk by us both as bespeaking Remission of Sin past through Faith in it and as sprinkling the Conscience of True Believers and cleansing them from all Sin Therefore it is called The Precious Blood of Christ as being of an Incorruptible Nature 1 Pet. 1. 18 19. and is therefore said to speak better Things then the Blood of Abel being by way of Emphasis called The Blood of his Dear Son c. and is also called a Price Ye are bought with a Price 1 Cor. 6. 20. by all which it is manifest to be of infinite value both in the Account of God and all those that know it by being VVitnesses of its Vertue sprinkling their Hearts from an Evil Conscience Hebr. 10. 22. But because we testifie that it s not the Notion or bare Historical and Litteral Belief of those things that justifie or make us really free from that VVrath which comes upon every Soul of Man that doth Evil whether Jew or Gentile Professor or Prophane but only the Life and Vertue of this Blood received into the Heart by that Living Faith which Christ alone is the Author of Therefore are we branded with sleighting the Blood of the Man Christ c. though we testifie our Esteem thereof both in the History and in the Mystery and that without the Life and Vertue of this Blood there is no Remission Concerning Justification by the Blood of this Jesus of Nazareth c. I touched at it before and do further testifie That as without Blood there is no Remission ne●ther can any Blood or Offering besides the precious Blood of J●su● Christ ●emit any Man's Sins or make an Attonement for him although he would offer up his bel●ved Isa●● for it yet God dot● try every true Child of Abraham inwa●dly as he did Abraham ●●wardly before he shews unto him this Sacrifice of his own providing And because we testifie according to Holy Scripture and Grounded Experience that true experimental Justification or Acquitment from all Sin and Unrighteousness is witnessed by believing and walking in the Light as God is in the Light as it is writ●en 1 Joh 1. 7. If we walk in the Light as he ●s in the Light we 〈◊〉 F●ll●wship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ his Son clenses ●● from all Vnrighteousness and being justified by Faith we have Peace with God through Jesus Christ And true Justifying Faith is said to purifie the Heart by removing Vnrighteousness and plucking up those Plants which God's Right-H●●d ●ver planted Acts 15. 9. Mat. 17. 20. Luke 17. 6. and is called the Ev●●●nce and Substance Hebr. 11. 1. and Christ is said to ●●●ll in the Heart by Faith because the true and living Faith re●llizeth good things to the Soul as the Eye doth by Union with its Object to the Body Faith being the Instrument by which the Life and Vertue of the Blood of Christ that justifies is received or sucked into the Soul that is justified and thereby perfects forever those that are ●anctified whose Eye being alwayes fixed single on that which clen●eth their whole Body must needs be full of Light and Glory J. C. Rebellion Rebuked IN AN ANSWER TO A Scandalous Pamphlet ENTITLED The Quaker Converted to Christianity c. AS concerning this Young-man whom William Haworth calls The Quaker Converted and giveth his Book that Title VVe would have all Moderate People to judge by what follows whether he was such a one as he hath stiled him For he hath affirmed in his Epistle to that little Pamphlet That he was fully of their Way Faith Spirit and Principle And that he went farther then most of them towards that they call Perfection And that he is now able to engage any Quaker in England in Discourse Making a very great Boast with much Joy as if he had taken some great Prize or obtained a great Victory as may be seen in his foresaid Epistle Now here followeth the Young-man's own words by which ye may perceive how far he was a Quaker and see if W. H. doth yet understand what they and their Perfection is and when did he hear them call that Perfection which this Young-man had attained to viz. p. 7. And when I thought of going to the Quakers these things which I did not like among them kept me back having not Ground in my self for to do them of which Silent Meetings was the chief Putting off my Hat was another For when I met with one Friend or other if I saluted him with my Hat I knew not that I did offend God any more then if I did not Now there were some things which the Quakers did that I was not convinced of And concluded He coul● not agree with them in all things pag. 4. And pag. 1. I went several times as other Boyes d●d only this I was taken off from having D●light in Sports and Pastimes quickly after my going mark that and at that tim● I was of that ●●am of Spirit that I was ready to ass●nt to every thing the Quakers did whether I had Ground for it or not pag. 2. Here ye may read and understan● this Young Men's Perfection in the Quakers Way and com●are it with Will●●m Haworth's Affirmation as aforesaid and then let all Sober and Rational People judge if this Young-man was f●lly of th●ir Way Spirit Faith and Principle and w●nt farther towards that they call Perfection then most of th●m as he hath affirmed pag. 1. First Whether it be the Quakers way Faith Spirit and Principle to dislike Silent Meetings as this Young-man did which kept him back mark that 2dly Whether it be the Quakers Way Faith Spirit and Principle to Salute their Friends or any other with putting off their Hats as this

And as for thy many Ten Thousands thou boastest of we know them For Every one that doth Evil hates the Light c. which are very many and so every Evil-doer is on thy side and is one with thee as thou hast said And so the Unclean Spirits may now cry as formerly Our Name is Legion for we are many But remember thou that true Saying of old viz. That though the Wicked joyn Ha●d in Hand yet shall they not go unpunished but the Seed of the Righteous shall be delivered Prov. 11. 21. And now try thy own Spirit and thy Fruits by the Scriptures which many of you call the Touch-Stone who saith Christ dwells In you and you In him and that you eat his Flesh and drink his Blood For it is written If Christ be in you the Body is Dead because of ●in Rom. 8. And if any Man be in Christ he is a New Creature old things are passed away all things are become new 2 Cor. 5. 17. Is thy Body dead Is not Lying and Slandering and Envy and False-Accusing Sin Are not these Sins alive in thee in thy Body Let all that know thee judge Art thou 〈◊〉 Creature Let them judge if all old things be 〈…〉 i● thee And did not the Blood of Christ cleanse them 〈…〉 it from all Sin Dost thou witness the same ●●●●ct thereof 〈◊〉 they did who walked in the Light 1 John 1. 7. Dost thou w●●ness it to cleanse thee from all Sin who art in thy dark Con●usion Blasphemy and false Doctrine Belying and Reviling God and hi● People saying He hath poured forth all his Wrath upon his Son Jesus Christ What kind of Christianity is it that thou art endeavouring to Convert People to Where is one Scripture will bear thee out in this Saying of thine Though thou hast quoted Isa 50. that will not do it nor all the Coverings thou canst make will not hide thee from the Wrath to come which will overtake thee speedily and then thou shalt know that there is some left for thee and all Lyars and Evil-Speakers and that the Quakers are no Seducers as thou hast belyed them But such are Seducers as draw People from the Anointing in them which is the Truth as may by read 1 Joh. 2. 26 27. And not them that turn People from Darkness to the Light Acts 26. 18. the Anointing in them whom thou hast wickedly reproached as the Righteous God is Witness for us and against thee whose Innocent Cause he will assuredly plead with thee and all that oppose them And no Weapon formed against his blessed Truth and People shall ever prosper The Lord of Heaven and Earth hath spoken it This is written by a Labourer in the Lord's Harvest in true Love to his Blessed Truth and People and to the Souls of all People I am a Frie●● bearing Testimony against the Works of the World that are Evil And I have ●●●●ed to forgive Enemies and yet can truly say in this Concern in the behalf of the Lord and his Holy Name The Reproaches of them that Reproached thee fell on me WilliamBayly South●ark the 17th of the 11th Moneth 1673. Postscript I Having seen a Book called The Quaker Converted have considered divers things therein mentioned but I find the main Scope of that Book is concerning a Young-man that had been sometimes at the Quakers Meetings and is now gone again to William Haworth's Meeting and declares of a State of Bondage he hath been in and how he is now come to Liberty The Book is sufficiently answered with the Epistle thereunto My Purpose is only to Animadvert briefly upon one Passage mentioned in the 18th page of the said Book where this William Dimsdale hath summed up the whole Discourse in a Metaphor or Comparison of the Children of Israel's being in Egypt and in Canaan the one was the House of Bondage the other the House of Freedom to which he compares his being engaged in Faith and Judgment to obey the Light in his Conscience as his Bondage and his being delivered from that Faith and Judgment and from that Obedience to be his being delivered from Pharoah and his grievous Tasks and Burdens and his being brought into the Land of Canaan where no such Burden is laid upon him as before was said Behold here a Cloud of Gross Darkness and Ignorance which would amaze any man that is not steddy in his right Senses that ever any one should become so Blind as thus to manifest his own Shame and the great Corruption and Wickedness of his Principles and Way he professeth Mark what his Tasks were that were laid upon him when he was under this Pharoah in this Egypt viz. First Not to Lye 2dly Not to speak Idle Words 3dly Not to be among other Boys in their Sports and Pastimes though he had Oportunity thereunto 4thly Not to Wrong his Neighbour 5thly Not to Steal H●rrings though he loved them well and was tempted to them and was also sent to the Barrel alone 6thly not to sink under Hissings and Reproaches which happened to him for doing well and divers more such like Burdens which when he did observe he had Peace he saith But now he hath greater Peace in his Canaan where none of these Burdens are laid on him Oh horrible Canaan Such a Canaan sure God never led his People into nor never will where these Tasks are not laid upon them This is a Canaan for the Sons of Belial who are without a Yoak and not for Christians who must be yoaked from Lying from Idle-speaking from Stealing Herrings or any thing else and all things before-mentioned But now he is free from that Pharoah as he calls the Pure Light of Christ had not Men need take heed how they Believe him in his Words how they Trust him in his Actions or how they have to do with him seeing the Latitude of his Canaan is to have none of these Burdens laid upon him and the Latitude of his Judgment and Faith is to believe that if he doth Lye Steal Speak Idly or any other such things there is no VVrath left in God to be poured out upon him for it Nay that it was forgiven before it was done and Himself not a whit the less approved of God for doing it Nay that there is no Danger of his Salvation to Miscarry how great soever his Miscarriages may be Here is a CANAAN so called
