Practice that it may be published and made known to the Nation or if the Ministers be found ignorant of the Scriptures and Power of God they likewise may be made manifest that no longer they may deceive the Nations And one of these five Ministers namely Mr Ny● hath declared as was affirmed in Westminster-Hall by one Mr Smith a Parliament man That the said Mr Nye told him That coming where some quakers were met together he found amongst them a Jesuit which he knew and of what colledge he was of beyond the Seas and that they spake Latine to each other So I asked Mr Smith what was become of the Jesuit he answered he knew not but supposed he was gone so I desired the Parliament men then present for to take notice who were the favourers or conconcealers of the Jesuits the quakers or Mr. Nye The Members of Parliament then present whose Names I knevv vvere captain Bains Judge Advocate Margeret Serjeant Berkhead besides others vvhose Names I knevv not This is vvritten that the Parliament may examine and finde out vvho are the Jusuits friends Robert Rich AFter the tares appeared then came the servants of the housholder and said unto him Wilt thou that we go and gather them up But he said Nay lest while ye go about to gather the tares ye pluck up also with them the Wheat Let both grow together until the Harvest Matth. 13. 26. c. This is the Doctrine of Christ Iesus our Lord. Such care hath Christ Jesus of the Wheat that he will not that his Servants pluck up the tares until the Harvest the end of the world lest they pluck up the Wheat with them this is his wisdom But some men pretend such care for the wheat that they will have the tares pluck up before the Harvest this is their wisdom Now minde whose wisdom you follow and whose Doctrine you obey for you can do Christ Iesus no service in going contrary to his own Doctrine though some may think they do Ioh. 16. 2 3. They shall think they do God service when they are killing his servants mistaking them for his great Enemies for else they would not kill them to do him service My desire is that you may be found in the counsel and Doctrine of Christ Iesus which is safe and keeps from that danger of shedding innocent blood Will. Tomlinson You have called him a blasphemer we desire that you would publish what his blasphemy is that we may know it and take heed of it Christ Iesus himself was called a blasphemer because he said I am the Son of God and saith Iohn 1 Ioh. 3. 2. Now are we the Sons of God W. T. THE neer relation between Christ Jesus and his Father being owned by him was counted in him blasphemy because he said I am the Son of God Take heed lest the neer relation between Christ and his Members whom he calls Brethren be not now counted blasphemy where it is owned And consider these Scriptures Now are we the sons of God through Christ saith Iohn 1 Ioh. 3. 2. If a son then an heir of God saith Paul Gal. 4. 7. If sons then heirs heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ Rom. 8. 17. Him that overcometh will I make a Pillar in the Temple of my God and I will write upon him my new Name saith Christ Jesus Rev. 3. 12 13. He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches If you be able to see these things do but if not take heed what you do lest you bring innocent blood upon your own heads There 's none able to judge of these things before the lusts of the flesh land the lusts of the eyes and the pride of life be judged and overcome in them and the love of the world That 's blasphemy for a man to say he is a Jew or a Christian and is not but still is in the old nature that was a murderer from the begining he blasphems the Name of God Rev. 2. 9. for God hath no such children in the New Covenant As it was then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit so it is now Gal. 4. 29. But he that is born after the spirit never persecutes him that is born after the flesh W. T. FRiends your hands have hitherto been held from shedding of blood consider what it is that hath withstood you and kept you from it and do not go on to strive any longer against the Lord but remember David how glad he was that he was prevented from blood when he was going with a full resolution and the thing was gone out of his mouth to destroy the House of Nabal 1 Sam. 25. 22 32 33. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel saith he which hath sent thee this day to meet me and hath kept me this day from coming to shed blood and this was but the blood of a wicked man So Friends consider and strive not against the goodnesse of the Lord which hath hitherto withstood you and kept you off from shedding of blood and that with little force It will be no grief of heart to you that you have not shed blood but to shed it may lie heavier upon you then yet you are aware To let the tares if tares alone with the wheat according to Christs own Doctrine this will not repent you because it is his own command but under pretence of plucking them up to puil up one of the least of his Lambs this will be a burthen too heavy for you to bear and though you may think you do God service therein yet he accepts it not To seek the harm of one that would not hurt an hair of your heads consider whence this is and what acceptance this would have with God seeing he saith He that toucheth you the innocent lambs toucheth the apple of mine eye herefore touch not mine anointed do my Prophets no harm saith the Lord and blessed be their work who are made tender of them for what 's done to one of the least of those that belong to Christ is done to him William Tomlinson They are very confident who kill Christs Lambs to do God service that those they kill are not his Lambs but his Enemies else they would not kill them to do Him service for they could not think it service to God to kill his children yet see how far their confident zeal is mistaken while they think they kill his enemies they kill the children of the Kingdom Thus it happened to Christ the zealous Jews were very confident he was a Blasphemer and Seducer of the people and therefore they durst say His blood be on us and on our children upon the same account the members also of Christ alwayes suffer as Blasphemers as Hereticks as Seducers of the people You are now up on this danger and trial of your spirits Now why is it that in this confident zeal they kil his Children
