not come yet so far as Balaam who the dumb Ass reproved and the Angel of the Lord is coming to stop your way though for a while you may rage and lye but I say the Lord will rebuke that lying spirit for a lying spirit the Lord doth abhor for it is an abomination to him it would make discord but the Spirit of Truth doth discover it and hath found you out to be of your father the Devil who was a Lyar from the beginning and for shame blush and never make a profession of Christ of Faith or of Hope who openly have shewed your selves to be Lyars and Slanderers of the only people of God who live in hope and faith and in the fear of God but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled Lyars cursed children evil beasts and slow bellies who serve not the Lord Jesus Christ but their own bellies such are they who cause the Truth to be evil spoken of who are Enemies to the Cross of Christ glory in their shame and mind earthly things as ye may see England at this present time is full of such Teachers and Prophets which walk contrary to all the Commands of Christ and his Apostles which go after the ways of Cain to envy and run greedily after the error of Balaam for gifts and rewards who perished in the gain-saying of Corah And there is your portions and conditions of the English Church held up by you the English Teachers who gave forth this Book who are made by the will of man and those who are come to the Church of God which you call Quakers deny such Moses did fear and quake and the Apostle brought him as an Example to the Hebrews who were come to the general Assembly and the Church of the first born which is written in Heaven and to God the Iudg of all whose voyce shook the Earth whose voyce now shakes the Earth which makes you wonder and rage you earthly minded men who never heard the voyce of God Moses did tremble Habakkuk did tremble Iob did tremble David did tremble and quake and the Son of man was to eat his bread with quaking and Paul did tremble that their faith might stand in the power of God and not in the wisdom of words and Daniel did tremble and his strength and breath was gone and they who were with him did quake These Scriptures being fulfilled in the people of God now such you wonder at now as they in the former ages who spoke forth the Scriptures were wondered at And here you lay waste Scriptures and deny the fulfilling of the Scriptures making a scorn of them and a derision who are come to tremble as they did Friends you sit as Judges to censure of their way whom you call Quakers who are a people taught of God you who are making bonds and snares to limit the Power of the holy One in your own snares you are taken and God will burst them asunder for the Doctrine of Christ you know not which is the Doctrine of the Quakers which you scornfully nickname but that Word they own else they should lay waste Scripture as you do But Moses who did tremble fear and quake did account it great riches to be reproached and so do we with you in the same generation who witness quaking as Moses did and Paul did and so it is you that lay waste Scriptures and so you busie minded fellows are censuring of the doctrine of the Quakers shewing your selves to be those busie bodies who are spoken of in the Scripture who have but a Censure and no infallible Judgment and so those who have an infallible Judgment will cry out against you to see your folly and slander Whereas concerning the Designs of God Satan and Men and the dominion of Satan There you are who gave forth these Papers for Lyars you are of them which are of God As you have uttered it forth shamefully as in saying they lay waste Scripture Christ Church Faith Hope and in your conclusion you have but a Censure of the way and doctrine Now all friends who have a love to Christ may discern and see your censorious ways and give Judgment upon you who have no infalliable Judgment neither have Faith Church Christ nor Hope which the Saints do enjoy but are without God in the world in their imitations and likeness blaspheming God and his Temple and those tender Lambs and harmless ones in York-shire who have been imprisoned and persecuted to death who witness the fulfilling of the Scripture as they did who gave forth the Scripture but the true God you know nothing of nor the men who are of God for you shew your selves forth to be Lyars of them who worship the true and living God And this is to the stile of your Book which is all false and comes out of a false mind and a false heart whose throats are an open sepulchre drinking up iniquity as the Ox drinks up water who are of them who are the Deceivers of the Nation But the witness of the Lord is gone out against you and you are taken and to Judgment you must come for the Judgment of the great Whore is come and you Lyars must into the fire and lake that burns eternally you shall witness what I speak to be the Word of the Lord And here I charge you in the presence of the Lord to be no Ministers of the Gospel who are not able to give an infallbile Judgment but only a Censure which the Apostles had Whereas you say If in any age the Devil hath transformed himself into an Angel of light or his Apostles and Ministers have transformed themselves into the Apostles and Ministers of Christ they have done so in this Apostatizing age in which we live yea they have been more cunning subtil and seemingly spiritual in transforming themselves in this age then ever they were in any foregoing Generation Satan is now acting his part upon the Stage with all deceivableness of unrighteousness and shall continue to act like unto himself and beyond his former actings until the Angel cast him into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal upon him that he may deceive the Nations no more for by how much he shall perceive his Kingdom neerer unto a period by so much more every day he and his factors will shew themselves politickly active for the supporting and exalting his hellish and tottering Kingdom And as God hath doth and will enlighten his Saints and witnesses more towards the end of Antichrists reign and the beginning of the calling of the Jews to Christ so the Dragon that old Serpent hath doth and will more and more fill his Agents and Instruments with a Diabolical spirit of madness and delusions This shall stand for your selves who have but a censure of their ways who are called Quakers and not an infallible Judgment as the Apostles had and it 's true Satans Ministers you are who have transformed your selves to
