A85147	The ranters principles & deceits discovered and declared against, denied and disowned by us whom the world cals Quakers. With a discovery of the mistery of the crosse of Christ. And a discovery of the true light and the false, with their wayes, worships, natures, properties and effects. &c. A vindication for the truth against the deceit. to clear the truth, of scandalls written for simple ones sake, that desire to know the truth as it is in Jesus.	R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666.	1655 (1655)	Wing F501; Thomason E830_14; ESTC R207442	21,296	22

up torment in thee for thy unrighteous actions then thou apprehending the wrath of God against sin in thee thou wouldst be applying the promises of the Saints conditions which was to another seed to heal the wound in thee when the seed of the serpent gets a blow by the stroak of the righteous judgement of God But this will confound thy wit and muddle thy memory and scatter all thy conceits and imaginations and crosse thy will in its expectations tell thee thou art reprobate from God in that nature then thou shalt see this is not a naturall light that doth so oppose and strike at all naturall wayes worships tongues learnings and vanities it will work thee into unity with it if you give up to be guided by it and lead thee into eternity but it will confute and confound and condemn thee if thou do not obey it and so thou art left without all excuse thou naturall blind man that lives in thy motions and high conceits but thou art found out and thy place of aboad and art in Sodom and Egyptian darknesse this light shineth in darknesse but darknesse comprehends it not thou that wouldst go about to comprehend the light of thy subtilty and serpentine wit thou art an enemy to God and to thy own soul and thou wouldst fain know much that thou mightest have it at command to talk of but thou wouldst not put in practice therefore thou knowest so much as will serve to condemn thee For thy disobedience to the light the light will not be comprehended by thee thou theif thou wouldst fain comprehend it that thou mightest thereby be exalted and thou wouldst rob God of his glory and take it to thy self and thou wouldst command the light that thou mightest be a Lord thy self but it stands out of thy reach and it will not be commanded by thee though thou mayst conceive something from it and catch it to talk of yet except thou do walk accordingly it will tell thee thou art for destruction and this light will be thy condemnation who ever thou art that dost not obey it and it will scatter thy imaginaons and dash down all thy conceivings and high motions and tell thee thou art yet unreconciled to God and check thee and break thy peace if thou do but give ear to it it will witnesse for me in thy conscience this light is within thee Ioh. 1.9 Ioh. 8.12 Psal 36.9 Isa 49.6 Isa 1.60 19. 2 Pet. 1.19 2 Cor. 13.5 Col. 1.23 it is not without in books nor Scriptures The Sriptures do declare of it but they are not the light it is within and springs from a divine root and thou canst not comprehend it therefore wait upon God in obedience to it and it will teach thee and shew thee the way to salvation and the way to condemnation and set before thee life and death good and evil chuse thee whether thou wilt join to if thou join with the good seed thou wilt find power against sin to withstand the evil and it will judge and break down wickednesse in thee and slay the seed of the serpent and administer to that which is captivated through the lust and raise it up that thou may worship with it a God near hand and as the seed of God doth arise in thee it will open parrables and dark sayings and bring every secret thing to judgement in thee and the seed being raised up by the power of the Lord to rule over the deceit it will not bend to the Divell if he would give it all the world one seed raised up out of one grave by one power and brought into one covenant baptized by one spirit into one body though ten times ten thousand in particulars yet they are but one in the body one faith one seed one baptizing one supper one covenant one God and father all one heart and one soul serving God in one way worshipping him in the spirit and with one mouth all glorifying his great and glorious name and who are of this seed are of Abraham and where it is carryed up into power it will tread upon the seed of the serpent and strike at the head of it where ever it sees it who are of the seed of the serpent are one though ten hundred thousand and are in unity with the deceit the beast and false prophet and in the false worships worshipping the works of their hands and the imaginations of their own hearts and they are acted and guided by the power of the Divell but they shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God powred out without mixture and be tormented night and day Rev. 14 9 10 11. and all that seed shall be shut out and shall never enter into the city of the living God but death and hell shall be cast into the lake of fire this is the second death and whosoever is not found written in the Lambs book of life must be cast into the lake of fire Rev. 20 14 15. and the seed of the serpent never was nor never shall be written in the book of life and those that are joined with that seed are one and shall never enter into the holy city for the seed of God and the seed of the serpent have enmity placed betwixt them and they can never be reconciled together and that which defileth shall not enter for without is all that seed cast and is reprobate from God and must not enter into the kingdom Rev. 21.8 Rev. 22.15 Blessed are they that do his commands that they may have right to the tree of life and enter into the city through the straight way Rev. 22.14 he that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son Rev. 21.7 This seed where it hath overcome through the power and strength of the Lord and is set above it doth comprehend all languages kindreds and tongues and all BabyIons wayes and worships and doth triumph and rejoyce over them all and sees where the Antechists and deceivers all are and from whence they all come and whither they shall return again The Ranters Principles and deniall of them by us ON the first day of the seventh moneth we met with one Robert Wilkinson of Coaton in Leistershire and he said he was born of God and could not commit sin and said he was both God and the Devill and he said there was no God but him nor no Devill but him and he said whom he blest was blest and whom he curst was curst and he said he was a serpent and so he is he said the Apostles were lyars and deceivers and I gave him a Bible to prove that and he said die Bible was a pack of lyes and there was neither heaven nor hell but here and yet he was both in heaven and in hell and he had as lieve be in hell as in heaven and he said he was a serpent and a whoremaster and before he said he was born of God and could not commit sin Now all that are in the light may see this confusion and this Beast is full of blasphemy and the vengeance of God he shall not nor cannot escape Wo to the Ranters this book is as a testimony against you from us whom the world calls Quakers and you and your wicked principles we deny and hold them and you accursed GaI. 1.9 The Apostles were not as many that did corrupt the word of God but were of sincerity and in the light of God spake they in Christ 2 Cor. 2.17 and he was no lyar nor deceiver though the wicked ones counted him one Joh. 7. as thou wicked one dost and the Apostles were not lyars and deceivers as thou Wilkinson Ranter said they were The world called them deceivers and counted them deceivers as I told thee yet they were true though counted deceivers by such as thou art the Apostles were the Ambassadours of Christ and they prayed the Corinthians in Christs stead to be reconciled to God 2 Cor 5.20 and Christ was no lyar nor no guile was found in his mouth and they were without guile as he was Rev. 14.5 1 Thes 4.6 7 8. Pev 18.20 But thou Wilkinson and you Ranters false Apostles are full of guile and deceit that sayes the Apostles of Christ were lyars and deceivers when first they were Christs Ambassadours and secondly they were workers together with him and he did not work in the iniquity as you Ranters do for they in all things prove themselves as the ministers of God 2 Cor. 6.11.2.7 which thou Wilkinson and you Ranters are enemies unto thirdly they had wounded the hidden things of dishonesty and did not walk in craftinesse 2 Cor. 1.12 as thou Wilkinson and you Ranters do and fourthly they were a sweet favour of Christ with them that were saved 2 Cor. 2.15 but thou Wilkinson and you Ranters stinks and are an ill savour amongst them that walk with the dogs sorcerers and liars Rev. 22.15 Wilkinson of a God thou art born with but thy God as I told thee before is the God of the world that hath blinded the mind and the minds of all you Ranters wicked ones and from them the Gospell is hid as it is written 2 Cor. 4.3 4. and that God that is of the world and the Devill is one which is the father that begat thee and all the generation of lyars and lustfull ones such as thou art Joh. 8.44 and the serpent thou art a whoremaster as thou saidst and art in the mystery of Babylon committing fornication 1 Cor. 6.9 10. Gal. 5.10 20 21. Rev. 20.15 Rev. 21.27 and art full of the filthynesse thereof Rev. 15. thou beast that carryeth the whore shall go with her into perdition and all whoremongers and adulterers God will judge and the serpent thou art and you Ranters Scorpions Serpents you shall not escape the damnation of hell Mat. 23.33 for heaven thou hast nothing to do to talk of who hath no part nor portion in it for the lake thou art and the tormentor thou shalt know as Dives did and thou wiucked one and you wicked Ranters and the wicked and all that forgot God shall be turned into hell Psal 9.17 Mat. 25 41. with the light are you seen and all thy crooked wayes thou crooked serpent with the light comprehended and with the light for ever condemned and all the Gods of the heathen shall be famished FINIS
