VVHereas John Pennyman of late did bring or cause to be brought unto the Exchange in London several Books and Writings and amongst others the holy SCRIPTURES of Truth which testifie of Christ with other Writings and Testimonies recorded of the holy Servants of God and Martyrs of Jesus with intention to destroy and burn the same as by his outward Actions and Expressions might justly be judged and suspected Now we the People of the Lord called Quakers do declare unto all People That we do utterly disown and testifie against that Action of the said John Pennymans touching the said Books and Writings so far as he had any Intention or did give just cause of Jealousie or Sufpition of such Intention to destroy and burn the same and that he therein was instigated by the Devil what ever otherwise his pretences are or might be even that spirit that ruled in those who in the dayes past crucified Christ and persecuted and shed the Blood of his Holy Servants Prophets and Martyrs and in endeavouring to Burn and Destroy their Writings manifests that it would do the same things now if it had the same Power And we do further declare and testifie That we dearly and truly own the holy Scriptures before mentioned given by inspiration as a true and infallible Testimony of Christ spoken forth by his own Spirit which is our Guide and Leader and that they are written for our learning and the Writings and Testimonies of and concerning the Lord's faithful Servants and Martyrs is a good savour to us and their memorial is blessed forever And we further declare and testifie That we have no union nor fellowship with the said John Pennyman nor that spirit that now rules in him he being departed from that pure meek holy Spirit which sometimes he had some knowledge of And that he hath given just cause before the said Action and since also of jealousie and fear that he is in measure broken and discomposed in his Mind and Understanding nor can he have any union or fellowship with us until he shall publickly condemn this Action of Folly and Wickedness committed by him and give a full Testimony of his unfained Repentance for the same And we also testifie That if any Person whatsoever shall Act or Speak any thing that is evil under pretence of a Motion from the Spirit of God we utterly deny that Motion to be of God for the Holy Spirit of God never did nor never will move to that which is evil and all evil is of the Devil And this we have thought fit thus publickly to declare for the vindication of Truth and the Lord's People who profess and enjoy it that the Innocency of the Upright may be cleared and manifested and all Iniquity and Unrighteousness judged and condemned and God and his pure holy Truth exalted over all Unclean Dark Deluded Arrogant and Imaginary spirits whatsoever Given forth the 10th day of the Moneth called August 1670.
