A77973	A vvarning from the Lord to the inhabitants of Underbarrovv, and so to all the inhabitants in England, where it shall meet with them, who holds up the false teachers, and false worship, and who beats, stone, stock, and persecute, and hail out of their assemblies, those who are sent by the Lord, to speak his word freely; with an exhortation, that they hast to meet the Lord by true repentance, by putting off the works of darkness, lest the Lord cut them assunder, by his sword, which is already drawn and put into the hand of his servants. Also, a word to my brethren, and companions in tribulation in the kingdome and patience of Jesus Christ, who is by the world scornfully called Quakers. With the manner of my passage through the dark world, (wherein the simple ones may see the deceits of the man of sin in his actings like the true spirit) to warn all to follow the true light within, which leads unto God, & to beware of the voice, lo here & lo there, by one who is a labourer in the vineyard, who is not known to the world; (though named of the world) Edvvard Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B6057; Thomason E733_5; ESTC R206899	28,263	40

but persecuted him who came to fulfil the Law and who hath the substance of the Prophets he hath the Saints Conditions and Experierces in the Letter but who are brought to witness the same Conditions and the same strait way in which they walked He is an enemy to all people to you from God I do Declare it he is one that God never sent to speak his Word to you he calls good evil and evil good and puts light for darkness and darkness for light and therefore Wo is his Portion and Wo is the Portion of all that upholds him What will ye do in the end thereof He doth bewitch you to observe That Calling is an Ordinance of God which he never commanded Poor people your souls lies in the death under the power of darkness and corruption under your dead Minister and under his dead carnal Observances and your dark Minds your Wit and Reason is only fed and so the enemies of the Lord are strengthned by him and you remain in ignorance and in blindness and cannot attain the true Riches for Christ only is the Way to the Father the Light in every man which leads to the Father but this Light he denies as having enlightned every one that comes into world as several times he hath done to me in Argument Here he makes Christ a lyar and doth not know the first Principle of Religion nor the Light which leads unto God but is a Heathen and knows not God for this is the Light which all the Servants of God in all generations witnessed and which Light we do now witness praised be the Lord for evermore who hath in his Light led us to himself and hath shewed the Deceits of him to us and of all such as he is he is in the generation shutting the kingdom of Heaven against men neither entering h●mself nor suffers others to enter that are entering Through the power of the Lord made manifest am I bold to Declare against him who walks not in the Doctrine of Christ and therefore is an Antichrist and doth deceive you professing himself to be sent of God and walking contrary to the Truth of God a Hypocrite saying and not doing Ye my Country-men be not deceived by him try him by the Scriptures and see how he walks according to the Declaration as they did who were Ministers of Christ not by the Will of man but his Ministery is by man and according to man and had his Call from man as it is known to you all but they who were true Ministers witnessed the contrary neither received they their Gospel from man but by the Revelation of Jesus The true Ministers of Christ sent forth by Christ witnesses now the same thing for Christ the same that ever he was which is now made manifest in the Saints and his Ministery is the same which is not by man but contrary to man be not deceived God will not be mocked for he is terrible and his day is powerful and dreadful that shall come upon the Heathen and upon the workers of iniquity and upon all D●ssemblers and Hypocrites all your carnal Worship and Ordinances and Observances is but mocking of God and dissembling with him and is but an imitation and an imagination of the Mind of fallen man imitated by you and your Minister droven by the imaginations from the true Worship of God which the Saints in former generations was exercised in who was led not by imagination as you are but by the Spirit of God as all the Servants of God are Now as ever was true Baptism ●own which is by the holy Ghost and with Fire and the Baptism with one Spirit into one Body do we witness but that which your Chief Priest and false Hireling hold up I Deny it it is not of God but is an imitation and is abomination in the sight of God and therefore from God do I Declare against it and against your Hireling that upholds it among you True Communion of Saints I own for we have Union and the Bread which we break is the Body of Christ and the Cup which we drink is the Blood of Christ by which we are nourished and fed up to eternal life for he that eats not Christs Flesh and drinks his Blood he hath no life in him he among you that can receive it let him but your Communion I Deny for it is Heathenish and no more but an imitation having proceeded out of the imagination of the Proud Your breaking of Bread and drinking of the Cup is abomination and God never commanded it and this doth your Pharisee uphold sitting in the Seat of Christ and of the Saints as the Pharisees did in Moses seat saying and not doing True singing I own with the Spirit and with understanding singing in the Spirit making melody in the heart to the Lord this singing was and is among the Saints in the Church of Christ this is well pleasing to God for it is not an imitation nor by tradition as your singing is but it is true Sacrifice the Song of the Redeemed ones which none can learn but the Redeemed ones of the Lord who is come and coming to Zion with songs and everlasting Joy upon their heads but your singing is Carnal Traditional and Heathenish and is an imitation and is not with the spirit of Jesus but with the spirit of the World with the spirit of Drunkards Swearers Lyars Mockers Scornners Covetous ones with the spirit of Wrath Envie Malice with the spirit of Cain with the spirit of the Scribes and Pharisees and chief Priests who persecuted the Saints which sang in truth in former generations and now the deceit is turned into the form of singing and they that live there persecutes them that sings in the power for thus it was ever They that lived in Profession in the Word Outwardly persecuted them that lived in the power of which was Professed and there you and your Hireling is but know that the Lord will take an account of you and give unto every man his reward according to his deeds You and your Priest have got the Form of Baptism of the Communion of Singing and of a Church but the power and substance of these Ordinances you know not for they are hid from all vulturouus eies and from the generation of the Pharisees and Serpents who are called of men Master and which have the chief place in the Assemblies as your Hireling hath and who is called of men Master as they were which Christ cryed Wo against true Preaching of Jesus Christ Crucified we own and do witness for the Preaching is out of the Will of man out of Form and Custom and is foolishness to the wisdom of the World now as it was ever this is not with the inticing words of mans wisdom but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of Power and the Preaching of the Word
