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. Wherein something is written in reply to a book that was set forth by the dry and night vines in and about Beverley, who scornfully nicknameth the people of God, in reviling and falsly accusing them, and calleth them Quakers, in and about York-shire.

to all in that nature Revel 22. 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
