A85143	Light risen out of darkness now in these latter days. Shewing the dark ways and worships of the ministry of Antichrist now in these apostated times, which is perilous, as is foretold of often by the Holy Ghost that spoke through Paul, and now is fulfilled in these latter days, 2 Tim 3. Thus saith the Lord, Arise Sion, and thresh with a sharp threshing instrument, and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen, and is arising, and Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone to all nations, now that Christ is unto his people both the light and glory thereof.

This doth to our discernings tend to the establishing of the sayings of them who speak after their trembling fits with an extended voyce Priests as the Oracles of God and leaves us not the liberty of the commended practise of the Bereans to try the sayings of an Apostle by the Scripture Acts 17.11 Your discernings are exceeding carnal Reply that have professed your selves so long to be Ministers of the Gospel and have no tryer but by the Scriptures which are without and are carnal not knowing the same Spirit that spoke forth the Scriptures which was before any Book or writings were and searcheth and tryeth all things even the deep things of God 1 Cor. 2.10 But natural men such as you are receive not the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to them and so are they to you and your discerning is earthly the salt having lost his savour and so you have lost your discerning that hath it without you and not within as the Saints had and have 1 Cor. 2.13.14 But you cannot know the things of God or workings of the Spirit by your carnal reason because they are spiritually discerned And herein you are carnal sottish and brutish and know nothing of the same power that was manifested in those that spoke sorth the Scripture who had the Spirit and the discerning And you that are not acquainted with those trembling fits that you do despise in others are not acquainted neither with the Voyce Power nor Oracles of God therein you do shew forth your ignorance in the work of the Lord and that you are ignorant of the same spirit and power that was in them who had the Oracles of God and spoke them forth as they did that witnessed forth those Scriptures in whom the power of the Lord was manifested As Isaac Gen. 27.37 Moses Heb. 12.21 David Psal 38.8 c. Psal 119.120 and Job 4.14 Chap. 21. ver 5 6. Chap. 37. ver 1. Jer. 23.9 Hab. 3.16 Dan. 10.7 8 11. Ezek. 12.18.26 Chap. 16. ver 32. Chap. 10. ver And Paul Acts 9.3 4 5 6. and Philipians 2.12 13. and the Corinthians 2 Cor. 7.15 c. These and the rest did witness who had the Spirit of God Rom. 8. and the Oracles of God and spoke them 1 Pet. 4. But you do shew that you neither know thepower of God which is the salvation nor the gift of God which is the discerning as they had that spoke forth the Scriptures but your discerning may carry you to that in Acts 17. And see your selves to be as the unbelieving Jews were which were moved with envy at the publishing of the truth by the Spirit that was in Paul as you are by the Declaration of the truth by the same spirit that layeth open your deceits now as his did then and your hearers that have been kept in blindness by you and such like may search the Scriptures as the noble Bereans did and so see you to act the same things that the Jewish High-Priests Scribes and Pharisees did which were enemies to Jesus Christ then as you are now therefore repent and give over deceiving the people The simple Priestr you say believe every word Prov 14.15 but in this case you say that you have learned that the Spirits of the Prophets are subject to the Prophets c. You are wise in your own conceits Reply and know nothing of the simplicity that is pure Being wise to do evil but to do good you have no understanding And you never yet learned the lesson of self-denial nor know nothing of the true Prophetical Office of Christ by divine inspiration in you but have stollen words to speak of and say you have learned but it is but to steal the words of others to trade withal and so are theeves and robbers John 10. that Christ speaks and you never knew the immortal word which was in the beginning for in its arise it will shake down all the loftiness of man dividing asunder both joynts and marrow crushing down all-deceits and deceivableness which you live in and are acted and guided by deceit and so are learned and taught of the Devil the doctrine of deceit But he that doth not righteousness is not of God nor he that loveth not his brother but is of the devil as you are 1 John 3.10 And are Prophets of the deceits of your own hearts as the false prophets were and are subject to the will of the Devil and to deceive the simple but your condemnation will be the greater for the true Prophets you know not but steal their words as the false Prophets did to trade withal but the Lord hath discovered you and laid open your deceits and deceivableness how you lie in wait to deceive the simple and would keep them back from receiving the simple naked truth as it is in Jesus but it is the simple that he doth teach Psal 19.7 8 9. And they recaive his words which are pure and need not your additions nor inventions to gloss them over withal Prov. 30.5 6. Deut. 4.1 2. But all the plagues that are written in the Book are to be added unto you that are not in subjection to the true Prophet the Spirit of truth but are subject to add your own inventions which the plagnes are to Revel 22.18 But that they intend to magnifie their writings and Epistles above or into an equality unto the holy Scriptures Priests G. E. affirmed to I. K. seems very probably in that they put their papers very diligently into one anothers hands but not see the Scriptures and do soms of them say That it is alike for to take a sentence out of their Letters and preach from it R. F. as to take a sentence out of Paul's Epistles c. Here you have shewed forth that you are guided by a lying spirit Reply which makes it good that you are Prophets of the deceits of your own hearts and that you are taught to lie by the Devil the Father of lies John 8.44 in saying that we magnifie our writings above the Scriptures But that which is written from the same spirit that gave forth the Scriptures do witness with their spirits that spoke them forth Zeph. 3. ser 5.30 31. Isai 56.10 11. Mic. 3.11 Mal. 2 c. and have union together as Heb. 12.11 Ephes 5.30.1 John 4.16 17. And cannot but testifie against your deceits as they did against the false prophets then that stole the true Prophets words to trade withal as you steal the Apostles Letters to sell for money which he gave forth to be read amongst his friends at their meetings together 2 Thes 2.1 2. Gal. 6.11 1 Thes 5.27.2 Cor. 1.13 These with the rest of his letters that he sent to his friends and brethren which you are enemies to and are to be marked Phil. 3.17 18. that walks contrary to them And you are to be noted

acquainted neither with Christ nor his sufferings who causeth the truth to suffer by them as their actions do make manifest who lives in the old corrupt nature and has stoln the words of the Prophets and Apostles to trade withal and hath glossed them over by their humane and serpentive wisdome which the vengeance and the wrath of God is to 4. These dissembling hypocritical Priests whited walls and painted Sepulchres are exalted above the Cross of Christ and sits in the seat of the scornful acting as in a Stage-play for mony and are climb'd up high into their notions and notionary expressions by their fleshly wisdom which is earthly carnal sensual and divelish but never came in at the door as saith Jesus Christ in Iohn 10. And are ignorant of the first principle of Religion that knows not the power of God to break down the power of darkness in them and so that is the cause of their falsifying the truth and speaking evil of that which they know not being puft up in pride scorn and derision judging the truth by their evil thoughts and fleshly imaginations Now as Iannes and Iambres withstood Moses so do these resist the truth standing in opposition against it by their carnal wisdom and fleshly imaginations and vain glory boasting and vaunting themselves in their own conceits and stands upon their own righteousness by their gathered up knowledg in opposition to the Spirit of truth and in despight to the Spirit of grace and wrests the Scriptures to their own destruction speaking their own Inventions and Imaginations which arise out of the bottomless pit of deceit but the Lord is coming for to bring down Babylon's buildings all mans inventions and imaginations and to cast them into the lake that burneth and all the Babylonish Merchants will cry out Alas alas for that great City of Babylon where they sold their wares and gilded stuff and fine dainty dishes of novelties dressed made fit by the Cooks in their shops of brain study and humane inventions which is Cainish to feed curious and lusty minds withal lusting after knowledge and feeding upon the forbidden fruit which is under the curse and must be burnt with fire now in the day of the Lords power where nothing shall stand but his own pure being for he alone will rule and raign in power amongst his chosen ones in Sion the perfection of beauty and he alone will govern his people in righteousness and teach them all the knowledge of his truth to know him in the habitation of his holiness that they may rejoyce and triumph in his love By this we know that we love God because we keep his Commandements and it is his love which constraineth us who first loved us and gave himself for us And saith he If you love me keep my Commandements and I command you to love one another with the same love that I loved you withal but he that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love and he that saith he loveth him and keepeth not his Commandements is a lyar and the truth is not in him And here you are that lives in lying who say that we attempt to lay waste Scriptures Churches Faith Hope c. The Scriptures we own to be true in themselves as they were given forth from the Spirit of truth which ruled in them that spoke them forth which Spirit I witness and their declaration I own the life of it herein you are found false witnesses lyars and false accusers and are Antichrists and Seducers shewing forth the spirit of errour and Antichrist is head and exalted in you who opposeth himself against the truth But your dark m●nds I do deny and against you I do testifie That you are the men whom you write of and that condition is your own for you make no other use of the Scriptures but to trade withal and to give your Antichristian Applications and Constructions of them which the plagues of God is due to For saith Jesus Christ I testifie that he that adds to the Book of this Prophecy I will add to him all the plagues that are written in the Book Rev. 22. And whereas you lye and say That we a people whom the Divel in you scornfully reproacheth and calleth Quakers which is your envy which name I suffer under by such as you are who are apostated from the truth and the living word which was in the beginning which word is quick and powerful and sharper then any two edged sword and is like a fire and a hammer Heb. 4.12 Jer. 23.29 30. And though the Divel in you be suffered to cast upon us names of reproach It is but that the Scriptures may be fulfilled in calling us Quakers or what you can invent to make us odious in the sight of the world which name I do disown for I know none but two in all the Scriptures flesh and spirit the seed of the Serpent and the seed of God which shall bruise the Serpent's head with his internal rod by the living power of the Eternal Jehovah Jah But the seed of the Serpent is head in you who lives in lyes and Christ you do by your proud lustful natures kill and crucifie and his Doctrine daily by your earthly wisdom more and more despise and so you keep the seed of God in bondage by your divelish subtil serpentive policies and would not that it should come forth to live and to arise and faith you do not know who are so swift such lyes to report and the living truth for to relieve you are unwilling and both slack and slow and bears the mark of the Beast in your right hand and in your foreheads and it is you that do attempt to lay waste Scriptures in all things but to traffick withal and knows no word but bare letter and diabolical subtilty humane invention which you do live in and observes the Divels work for to commit sin which is the fruits of death and so the Word and Gospel of God is his from all such vulterous eyes And venemous beasts as you are who knows not the strait path that leads to life nor the wisdom which is hid which Job speaks of in Chap. 28. which wisdom is not from beneath neither is it earthly and carnal as yours is for the wisdom of God is not to be bought and sold neither for rubies pealrs silver nor gold but yours which is earthly and is but dross and dung causing you to lye so with your dirty Greek and Latine tongue Saying That we seek to attempt to lay waste all Scriptures Priest Christ Faith Hope c. Wherein you are exceeding hoodwink'd Reply and your eyes i● stopt with dirty miery stuff your inventions and imaginations and your mouths is filled with lyes and your hearts with evil thoughts being possest with Satan and that 's the cause you do the truth so much despise For we own the Scriptures as they are in themselves to be a declaration
