A26199	The suffering condition of the servants of the Lord at this day vindicated and some reasons given why the people called Quakers do own the doctrine of Christ, to continue in it, and to meet together in the name and fear of the Lord, to wait upon him, and worship him in spirit and truth, not withstanding they meet with sufferings in this present time for so doing : Bristol, the 6th month, 1662 / John Audland.

in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n we_o may_v war_v a_o good_a warfare_n and_o finish_v our_o course_n with_o joy_n and_o very_o this_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a weight_n unto_o we_o even_o to_o have_v our_o heart_n exercise_v towards_o the_o lord_n in_o obedience_n to_o his_o will_n in_o what_o he_o require_v of_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o he_o and_o so_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n be_v come_v and_o his_o eternal_a power_n make_v know_v in_o many_o heart_n by_o which_o many_o be_v raise_v to_o serve_v he_o and_o obey_v he_o yea_o to_o worship_n he_o according_a to_o his_o own_o will_n and_o the_o leading_n of_o his_o good_a spirit_n we_o be_v even_o constrain_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o meet_v together_o in_o his_o name_n and_o fear_v to_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o also_o to_o exhort_v one_o another_o in_o his_o holy_a power_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n direct_v yea_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o the_o day_n appear_v and_o this_o we_o find_v also_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o former_a day_n who_o do_v not_o forsake_v the_o assmebling_a of_o themselves_o together_o but_o meet_v often_o and_o sometime_o in_o one_o place_n and_o sometime_o in_o another_o as_o they_o be_v direct_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o one_o unto_o another_o and_o the_o lord_n hearken_v and_o hear_v it_o and_o a_o book_n of_o remembrance_n be_v write_v for_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o think_v upon_o his_o name_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n in_o the_o day_n that_o i_o make_v up_o my_o jewel_n and_o i_o will_v spare_v they_o as_o a_o man_n spare_v his_o own_o son_n that_o serve_v he_o and_o this_o be_v in_o a_o time_n when_o the_o proud_a be_v call_v happy_a and_o they_o that_o wrought_v wickedness_n be_v set_v up_o and_o they_o that_o tempt_v god_n be_v deliver_v yet_o even_o in_o such_o a_o time_n do_v they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o together_o and_o also_o in_o the_o time_n when_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n be_v publish_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o minister_n of_o jesus_n many_o be_v bring_v into_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o be_v gather_v from_o the_o jew_n worship_n and_o way_n of_o service_n an_o they_o to_o wit_v the_o jew_n can_v plead_v more_o just_o for_o the_o antiquity_n of_o their_o way_n of_o worship_n and_o their_o order_n in_o their_o worship_n than_o many_o who_o this_o day_n profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o a_o reform_a church_n and_o in_o that_o time_n do_v they_o meet_v together_o sometime_o in_o a_o chamber_n sometime_o in_o a_o house_n and_o sometime_o in_o a_o upper_a room_n as_o the_o lord_n direct_v they_o and_o as_o they_o have_v opportunity_n and_o gather_v church_n which_o meet_v at_o house_n and_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o exhort_v one_o another_o and_o may_v all_o speak_v one_o by_o one_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n lead_v they_o that_o all_o may_v hear_v and_o all_o be_v comfort_v and_o we_o do_v not_o read_v that_o the_o jew_n make_v a_o law_n or_o the_o roman_n either_o who_o at_o that_o time_n have_v the_o principality_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o meet_v above_o four_o together_o or_o if_o they_o meet_v five_o or_o above_o they_o shall_v be_v fine_v indeed_o the_o jew_n who_o believe_v not_o be_v bad_a enough_o and_o persecute_v the_o saint_n from_o city_n and_o hall_v out_o of_o house_n they_o that_o profess_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o sometime_o scourge_v they_o but_o they_o be_v evil_a example_n to_o be_v follow_v and_o its_o pity_n that_o any_o who_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n shall_v do_v the_o like_a to_o any_o that_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o walk_v peaceable_o in_o godliness_n and_o fear_n and_o why_o may_v not_o more_o than_o four_o meet_v together_o lawful_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o the_o account_n of_o god_n and_o all_o just_a man_n why_o may_v not_o ten_o yea_o and_o why_o may_v not_o a_o bundred_n and_o more_o 〈◊〉_d provide_v still_o it_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o why_o may_v not_o also_o some_o come_v in_o among_o they_o who_o be_v unbeliever_n that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o hear_v and_o learn_v and_o be_v convince_v of_o all_o and_o go_v away_o and_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v there_o of_o a_o truth_n and_o if_o there_o be_v more_o that_o come_v upon_o the_o same_o account_n it_o be_v also_o approve_a sure_o that_o be_v a_o great_a concourse_n of_o people_n when_o the_o disciple_n be_v meet_v in_o one_o place_n where_o three_o thousand_o be_v prick_v to_o the_o heart_n at_o one_o time_n have_v it_o be_v

they_o utterance_n the_o jew_n be_v very_o angry_a with_o they_o and_o command_v they_o to_o speak_v no_o more_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n but_o they_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n and_o speak_v bold_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o they_o yea_o and_o fill_v their_o heart_n with_o joy_n and_o comfort_n though_o sometime_o they_o be_v put_v in_o the_o stock_n and_o sometime_o in_o prison_n so_o we_o do_v very_o find_v both_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o also_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o our_o meeting_n together_o to_o worship_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o wait_v upon_o he_o be_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o also_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o former_a day_n and_o although_o we_o be_v of_o the_o suffering-side_n as_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o time_n past_a yet_o we_o be_v content_a in_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o give_v up_o unto_o he_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o sure_o if_o they_o that_o cause_v we_o to_o suffer_v do_v but_o diligent_o mind_n and_o consider_v their_o way_n and_o weapon_n which_o they_o go_v on_o in_o and_o war_n with_o they_o may_v find_v themselves_o to_o be_v on_o the_o persecute_v side_n and_o see_v the_o saint_n do_v not_o so_o neither_o war_n with_o such_o weapon_n for_o the_o

the_o eternal_a word_n of_o the_o everlasting_a god_n that_o be_v quick_a and_o powerful_a sharp_a than_o any_o two-edged_a sword_n which_o divide_v within_o where_o no_o carnal_a weapon_n can_v
