A28895	The truth of God cleared, and above the deceite advanced which is proved to be the same that ever was in all genetions [sic] / by one of that number who in scorn are called Quakers, Edw. Bourne.	Bourne, Edward, d. 1708.	1657 (1657)	Wing B3848; ESTC R1008	9,523	18

it hated you if you were of the world the world would love his own but because you are not of the world but I have chosen you out of the world therefore the world hateth you The Servant said He is not greater then his Lord if they have persecuted me they will also persecute you if they have kept my sayings they will keep yours also But in him have we peace who said Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and say all manner of evil against you falsly for my sake rejoyce and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in Heaven for so persecuted they the Prophets that were before you And others had tryals of cruel mockings yea moreover of bonds and imprisonment wherefore as the Apostle said Seeing we also are compassed about with so great a Cloud of witnesses let us lay aside every weight and the sin that doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us looking unto Jesus the Author and finisher of our faith Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross dispiseing the shame and is set down at the right hand of the Throne of God Come you Professors Teachers and People may we reason with you and try you further whether you be Possessors what do you believe of them who put Christ to death and yet builded up the Tombs of the Prophets and garnished the Sepulchers of the righteous and said if they had been in the dayes of their Fathers they would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the Prophets Mat. 23.29.30 31 32 33. would not you have joyned with them in puting Christ to death had you been in those dayes If you say you would not who shall believe you while envy and hatred and persecution attends you who persecute him in his members now where he is made manifest therefore as Christ said Fill up then the measure of your Fathers ye Serpents ye generation of Vipers how can ye escape the Damnation of Hell what ever you professe though you may talk of the Scriptures and Christs words and the Prophets and Apostles words yet being found out of his Doctrine and in the same nature as they were in who put Christ and the Prophets to death it is a sure testimony that you doe not possess him You that are wise and have an understanding beyond many so that by your own naturall wisdom and reason you may dive deeper into the knowledge of things then others yet stumble at the truth and stumble at the light by all your wisdom you cannot find out the things of God the reason is because you are not turned to that which gives the knowledge thereof which is the light which Christ hath eulightned you withall this is foolishnesse to your wisdom but indeed this is it which leads to the true Heavenly wisdom he that hath an eare to hear let him hear it and he that can receive it let him all that ever yet knew the Lord ever since the world began it was by taking heed to that which God had made manifest of himself in them this is the light which shines in darknesse and God who commanded light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of his glory in the face of Jesus Christ while you seek to know the Truth by Books and Authors who were not come to that of God in them your labour is in vain it will profit you nothing the Prophets and Apostles being come to this the end of their Writing and Speaking was to bring others to the same that is The manifestation of the Spirit which is given to every man to profit withall hear what the Apostle said He that will be wise let him become a fool that he may be wise and said he We are fools for Christ sake Therefore to the light which Christ hath enlightned you withall turn your minds and receive the kingdom of God as a little child and be willing to learn of him else you cannot enter therein therefore to it incline your minds that you may be made wise indeed the Wisdom of this World is foolishness with God and they who are wise therein their Wisdom will fail them the understanding of the prudent shall come to nought the Lord will bring it to pass Therefore be content to be stript of that and to part with that knowledge which you have not come rightly by and wait at Wisdoms Gate to be instructed there for whose findeth it findeth life and shall obtain favour of the Lord but he that sinneth against the Light wrongeth his own soul and all they who hate it love death You Lawyers take heed of self-ends in all you do and do nothing contrary to the righteous Law of God which is just and equal but speak the truth from your hearts and do to others as you would be done unto now if you act otherwise he which searches the heart and tryes the reins knows it who hath a Witness in you which is pure which is the light of Christ in your consciences which will be your condemnation And all you who are in power to judge and determine of causes and controversies between man and man have no respect to any mans person but let that which is just take place and judge as you would be judged of the Lord the righteous judge of Heaven and Earth before whom all must appear to receive according to the deeds done in the body whether they be good or whether they be evil Therefore take heed to the Light which Christ the Son of God hath enlightned you withall that you may know the Law of God written in your hearts and the Lord God to be your Law-giver you being subject to him alone in every thing doing that which is just and equal and as you would be done unto and herein will be your peace and the light of Christ in your consciences will justifie you but if you do otherwise the light which lets you see it will be your condemnation Hear this you Professors Priests and People The Fruits of the Spirit is love joy long-suffering forbearance meekness gentleness and the like and when I see these fruits proceed from you I may have some ground to believe that you do possess what you profess but while I find it otherwise you being in envy persecution and strife it is a sure evidence to me that you are out of the life of him whom you profess though you may have the Prophets Words and Christs Words to talk of yet being found out of their practices and in the same nature as they were which put the Prophets and Christ to death it is a sure testimony that you are out of the life which they were in he that lives in envy is in
