A84777 A declaration against all profession and professors that have not the life of what they profess, from the righteous seed of God; whom the world, priests, and people scornfully calls Quakers, who are in that life that the holy men of God were in, and witness that power that made them to tremble and quake, and shook the earth, and threw it down; which the world, priests, people, and professors, having the words declared from this power and life, but not it, scoffs and scorns at, but this is our riches. Fox, George, 1624-1691. 1654 (1654) Wing F1784; Thomason E809_8 15,926 16

the lusts of the flesh the lusts of the Eye and the pride of life all such virgins which are harlots and their virgin state with the light of Christ the life which brings out of the lusts out of the earth and redeems to God and makes pure the heart from all the defilements of women and to follow the Lamb to the Virgin state whose garments are washed in the blood of the Lamb where nothing that is not pure can enter are they seen and comprehended and their estate known to be in the flesh and with the life which is eternal which is not of this world nor in this world which is raised up through death to the world and all things of the world are they judged and with the light which comes from Christ which leads to the life invisible eternall out of all visible and carnal things are they condemned And all such which are turned from the light of Iesus Christ within and follows their own spirits and conceivings and imaginations and what they study in their own brain of those words that were from the light declared with the light all such are comprehended and condemned their race and their compasse is known and seen with the light and all such we do deny and in the light we have unity which doth them condemne And all such which are turned from the light which Iesus Christ hath enlightned withall whose minds are in books and so boasts in their talke of others words which were declared from the light and speak high and bigg swelling words and has mens persons in admiration all such we do deny with the light of Christ Iesus which with it they are all to be condemned which light is according to that of God in all Consciences and to it are we manifest And all such which do observe the commands which Christ hath spoken the Prophets have spoken and the Apostles spoke and are not led with the light which comes from Christ with the light are they and all their taken on commands condemned which are taken on in that nature contrary to the light as the Iewes and the Pharises did and such that cry up the Ordinances of God the Ordinances of Christ the Temple of the Lord the Ministers of the Gospel the preaching of the word and are not led to know these things with the light which Iesus Christ hath enlightened withall in particular with this light wherewith he hath enlightened every one that come into the world all they are to be condemned and all their Ordinances and commands and are such as use their tongues which acts in the nature contrary to the light and are not led with an eternall principle of life to know those words which were given from the life so with it they are judged and the light with it they are condemned but all such who are are led with the light and walk in the light into the Ordinances of Christ his commands and with the light come to witnesse the word and the Gospel such we own such we witness and honour in our souls And all such which turne from the light of Christ which is given to every one to lead up to Christ them that wait in it and direct to Christ them that in it seek to find him and pretend to be seekers and waiters and meet together and there talke of seeking and waiting but have not their minds turned to the light nor that eye opened which sees Christ which is the light which is within but seeks without and looks without seeking the living among the dead looking for things without and a day and power to come hereafter but neglect the day of their visitation which is to day and not waiting in the light but talking from their vain wisdome of waiting on Christ with the light which comes from Christ which shuts out the wisdome and the reason of man and puts a stop to the forward will and stops the running mind and brings to stand still in the light and to wait on Christ whose kingdom is within and comes with observation who is the substance and the life of all figures and shadowes are they all seen and condemned And all such which are turned from the light which Iesus Christ hath enlightened withall and are in their carnall mind and the carnall mind imitates crosses and formes crosses and Images and worships the name of the Saints with the light which is a crosse to the ground of these crosses is he the founder of these Images and his Images to be condemned and the crosse is to the ground of all these crosses which is his condemnation and all his workes he that hath the

Ranters Levellers and all who are in Notions whose minds are turned from the light of Christ Iesus into the earth such are enemies to the crosse and with the light they are all condemned and in this crosse do we rejoyce which takes away the foundation of the world for the Lamb of God is slain while it is standing so the crosse is to that that which shall change and doth change and passe away and have an end with that which shall have no end he that can receive me let him it that I have unity and that is it which reads all words that are declared from the life And all who makes a profession of Christ and God and are drunkards and are covetous and Idolaters and adulterers whore-mongers with the light which lets see all these things to be contrary to God with it we do them and their profession deny for in the light is our vnity which brings to deny all deeds of darknesse which is the condemnation of all who lives in the flesh and follows the lusts of it I speak and it I witnesse which shall condemn all such practises And all such which are turned from the light of Iesus Christ within and makes a profession of the words proceeded from the light in others and of Christs words
