A Paper concerning such as are made Ministers by the will of man and an exhortation to all sober minded people to come out from among them What ministery is that which is upheld by a Law given forth in mans will contrary to the Law of God if it be not Antichristian and whether or no their Ministery was from God that haled out of the Synogoues or those that were haled And whether Paul's Ministery was not according to what you now persecute who went into the Synagogues to reason with them after the same manner as wee doe novv vvho received not his Ministery from man neither had it by man though he was brought up at the feet of Gamaliell he counted that which he learned there as dung and drosse in comparison of the excellency of Jesus Christ and now with the Same light your form of prayer and form off preaching without the power it is as drosse and dung to me and to all that live in the life who know Christ to be the high Priest over the houshold of God whose Government is on his shoulders who will not acquit the wicked neither shall the evill doer escape his hand for the hand of the Lord is streched out and by the bareing of his arme are we Saved from all our trangressions which by no other means could be done for when I wallowing in my blood and no eye pittied me nor none could cure my disease when I went through the vale of misery in the cloudy and dark day when no light appeared then was I following men but darkness was over the whole earth in me which was my great sorrow but sometimes hope was an anchor that it should not be alwaies so but when the flood came I was as one overwhelmed with sorrow for all my actings and my prayers returned in vain while I was acting for life the living suffered in me which groaned for deliverance and the groans of that was heard and not my prayers then the Son of Righteousness appeared to me with healing under his wings then he rent the vail and uncovered all that I had done and shewed me the book wherein all my actions were set down that I had acted against him ever since I was a childe and indeed I could read in it and knew what was written there then was the acceptable yeer of the Lord God and the day of vengeance to the ungodly in me then was the vials of the wrath of God powred forth upon me without mixture and indeed it was given me to drink deeply but I desired that I might be spared but it was to let me see that I had Sinned against God and I should bear his indignation untill he did plead my cause for I was condemned but the Blood of the Son of God ransomed me and brought me into freedom which by no other meanes could be done then he shewed me his doctrine and writ his Law in me and placed his word in my heart which is an everlasting witness for himself and against all the world that their deeds are evil who by his power hath shaken and caused all my bones to tremble and to stagger like a drunken man but the remainder of himself could not be Shaken for he was stricken and by his stripes were we healed and by his light we see all hirelings and persecutors to be out of his doctrine therefore we deny them So all people who fear God come out from among them least you be partakers of their plagues as I have done M. F. The difference between the worlds relation which stands in strife malice and wickednesse and the Saints relation which stands in love life peace and joy in the Holy ghost The Relation which stands in destroying is by the children of the light denied all such who live out of light and out of it walke who wear the old garment whose minde is corrupt and hath a wisdome and with it know not God and hath a knovvledge with it corrupt themselves hath a humility but feigned and hath a worship but in the will and hath a righteousnesse but in the self and speaks the high words but it is in hipocrisie and hath a liberty but in the flesh whore the spirit is in prison who in Caines way is gone and hath not a habitation in God whose affections are below in the earth and serve the lusts and the pleasures whose conversation is among the wicked and there is the worlds relation where lodgeth the strife and the debate and deceit and disdain and setting up that which God will throw down now vvhile this is standing which is contrary to the light they that in the light do vvalke and be in it these they deny and Sees that vvhich leads nature our of its course and vvhat sets the vvhole course of nature on fire and there the vvhole vvorld are in confusion and all the tongues are unbridled vvhere povver over them is not vvhile that reignes vvhich leads nature out of course his religion is vain and that relation stands out of truth but all such as to the light are turned See vvith the light and that doth manifest vvhat leadeth nature out of course the mariage that is honourable and vvhat sets the vvhole course of nature on fire and vvhat leads nature into course vvhere the pure relation and the entrance of it is received vvhere the self and its righteousness is denied and the righteousness of Christ received vvhere the vvorship of the vvill is denied and the vvorship of God in Spirit and Truth received vvhere self righteousnes is denied and Christ the righteousness of God received the former conversation put of the conversation in Heaven vvitnessed the affections belovv changed the affections vvhich are above come to here is the pure Religion knovvn vvithout guile vvhich are out of Cains vvay vvhere the habitation in God is vvitnessed and seen vvhere the just lives by his faith and honouring in the Lord knovvn and the true humility Learned of Christ vvho is not of the vvorld though it by him vvas made vvho lighteth every man that cometh into the vvorld vvho is mans vvay out of it vvhich light is mans condemnation if he do not beleeve in it and the relation vvhich is in the vvorld vvho hate the light is in the lust where the perversenes is in the love of the world vvhere the envy is vvhere the invention is selfeishness crossenesse perverseness back-biting maliciousnes filling with unrighteousness yet they have a love yet they have a relation now the light which comes from the beloved Son of God where the Love of God is received the worlds relation is denied for the relation of the world destroyes and devoures but the children of the light which be in the relation out of the World live in peace unity and fellowship and comfort enjoyed in the holy Ghost so all you that professe relation in words and envy lodgeth in your hearts against one another
