A26199	The suffering condition of the servants of the Lord at this day vindicated and some reasons given why the people called Quakers do own the doctrine of Christ, to continue in it, and to meet together in the name and fear of the Lord, to wait upon him, and worship him in spirit and truth, not withstanding they meet with sufferings in this present time for so doing : Bristol, the 6th month, 1662 / John Audland.

plead_v our_o cause_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o enemy_n obj._n and_o if_o any_o say_v why_o will_v you_o not_o swear_v and_o why_o will_v you_o meet_v see_v there_o be_v a_o law_n against_o you_o ans_fw-fr for_o these_o two_o thing_n we_o say_v we_o dare_v not_o disobey_v the_o lord_n for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n or_o suffer_v outward_o and_o we_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o name_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n 1._o because_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o life_n require_v it_o of_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v meet_v in_o his_o name_n and_o power_n and_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o edify_v one_o another_o in_o his_o love_n and_o life_n and_o in_o our_o meeting_n wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n we_o have_v the_o presence_n of_o the_o live_a god_n of_o life_n with_o we_o and_o the_o feel_n of_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o love_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o countenance_n upon_o we_o yea_o and_o comfort_v we_o by_o his_o free_a spirit_n whereby_o we_o know_v and_o be_v assure_v that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o he_o speak_v peace_n unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v the_o real_a truth_n let_v all_o the_o honest-hearted_a judge_n how_o we_o can_v in_o conscience_n leave_v that_o which_o god_n require_v of_o we_o in_o obedience_n to_o which_o we_o have_v god_n presence_n with_o we_o and_o do_v that_o which_o man_n require_v of_o we_o contrary_a to_o the_o truth_n in_o observe_v of_o which_o we_o shall_v fall_v into_o condemnation_n and_o feel_v god_n anger_n and_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o spirit_n against_o we_o to_o judge_v we_o which_o will_v be_v great_a suffering_n in_o the_o inward_a man_n than_o all_o the_o outward_a suffering_n which_o we_o may_v meet_v with_o for_o in_o these_o be_v faithful_a the_o lord_n comfort_v our_o heart_n 2._o again_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n because_o we_o fear_v the_o lord_n god_n he_o have_v place_v his_o fear_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o and_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v great_a and_o mighty_a a_o great_a king_n above_o all_o king_n and_o a_o great_a god_n above_o all_o god_n that_o be_v able_a to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n and_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o man_n and_o we_o know_v he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v worship_v and_o to_o have_v the_o heart_n give_v up_o unto_o he_o for_o he_o have_v power_n to_o change_v the_o heart_n which_o man_n by_o all_o their_o force_n can_v do_v and_o to_o give_v true_a and_o last_a peace_n which_o the_o world_n can_v never_o take_v away_o and_o his_o fear_n be_v in_o our_o heart_n we_o account_v he_o lord_n and_o ruler_n in_o our_o conscience_n and_o worthy_a to_o be_v obey_v in_o heart_n soul_n and_o spirit_n and_o because_o we_o fear_v he_o more_o than_o man_n we_o be_v bind_v in_o duty_n to_o obey_v he_o for_o he_o have_v power_n over_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n which_o man_n have_v not_o for_o man_n can_v but_o kill_v the_o body_n he_o have_v not_o power_n to_o kill_v the_o soul_n neither_o have_v he_o power_n to_o redeem_v the_o soul_n neither_o can_v man_n convert_v the_o soul_n by_o any_o force_n or_o penalty_n outward_o therefore_o man_n do_v but_o labour_n in_o vain_a for_o he_o can_v neither_o kill_v nor_o cure_v the_o soul_n but_o the_o lord_n who_o we_o fear_v have_v power_n and_o be_v able_a to_o kill_v and_o to_o make_v alive_a and_o because_o we_o fear_v he_o more_o than_o man_n therefore_o we_o choose_v to_o obey_v he_o rather_o than_o man_n &_o to_o meet_v in_o god_n fear_n and_o this_o be_v our_o condition_n let_v the_o sober-hearted_n judge_n how_o can_v we_o deny_v the_o lord_n who_o have_v all_o power_n and_o have_v quicken_v we_o &_o redeem_v our_o soul_n from_o death_n &_o go_v to_o obey_v man_n contrary_a to_o christ_n doctrine_n who_o have_v no_o power_n over_o the_o soul_n sure_o as_o we_o stand_v in_o god_n fear_n and_o counsel_n we_o may_v not_o do_v this_o evil_a and_o sin_n against_o our_o god_n 3._o again_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n because_o god_n have_v make_v it_o manifest_v to_o we_o and_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o way_n in_o which_o we_o walk_v be_v according_a to_o his_o mind_n and_o will_n and_o we_o look_v not_o for_o direction_n in_o our_o religion_n by_o man_n wisdom_n or_o will_n how_o we_o shall_v serve_v and_o worship_n god_n for_o we_o know_v it_o be_v god_n alone_o by_o his_o spirit_n that_o lead_v people_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n as_o it_o be_v write_v i_o the_o lord_n teach_v thou_o to_o profit_n and_o lead_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n in_o which_o thou_o shall_v go_v and_o so_o we_o be_v content_a with_o our_o religion_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v lead_v we_o into_o and_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o we_o have_v god_n blessing_n fill_v our_o heart_n with_o love_n and_o joy_n peace_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o which_o our_o soul_n be_v comfort_v and_o we_o look_v not_o for_o another_o religion_n contrary_a to_o that_o which_o we_o be_v in_o but_o our_o heart_n be_v fix_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o we_o receive_v it_o from_o the_o lord_n and_o not_o upon_o any_o such_o term_n as_o to_o continue_v in_o it_o till_o man_n make_v a_o law_n against_o it_o or_o speak_v against_o it_o and_o no_o long_o but_o even_o as_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n be_v make_v manifest_a to_o we_o so_o to_o press_v on_o in_o it_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o we_o see_v the_o way_n and_o religion_n of_o man_n to_o be_v so_o changeable_a sometime_o one_o way_n and_o sometime_o another_o that_o it_o appear_v to_o we_o as_o if_o man_n receive_v their_o religion_n but_o till_o order_n of_o another_o sort_n of_o man_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o we_o see_v many_o people_n so_o ready_a to_o part_v with_o their_o religion_n and_o take_v up_o another_o that_o give_v we_o just_a ground_n to_o believe_v they_o find_v not_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n with_o they_o in_o their_o way_n and_o exercise_n and_o so_o it_o be_v but_o loose_a with_o they_o and_o they_o can_v leave_v it_o upon_o occasion_n rather_o than_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o it_o and_o this_o make_v we_o prize_v that_o which_o god_n have_v make_v manifest_a to_o we_o the_o more_o because_o we_o receive_v refreshment_n from_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o religion_n beside_o if_o we_o have_v be_v void_a of_o the_o true_a religion_n till_o this_o day_n we_o shall_v have_v be_v as_o unstable_a as_o other_o toss_v about_o with_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n and_o have_v know_v no_o true_a rest_n to_o our_o soul_n but_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n that_o we_o be_v now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o former_a power_n and_o we_o receive_v not_o our_o religion_n from_o they_o neither_o but_o from_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n neither_o be_v our_o religion_n or_o we_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o confirm_v by_o any_o law_n or_o decree_n of_o they_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_n do_v suffer_v much_o hardship_n under_o they_o and_o by_o they_o who_o they_o cherish_v at_o that_o time_n in_o the_o religion_n which_o they_o allow_v and_o they_o then_o say_v they_o be_v the_o right_a way_n and_o they_o stock_v and_o prison_v many_o who_o be_v contrary_a to_o they_o and_o now_o other_o say_v they_o be_v in_o the_o way_n and_o use_v force_n and_o such_o like_a to_o they_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o one_o say_v the_o law_n be_v on_o our_o side_n and_o we_o be_v in_o the_o right_a the_o other_o say_v the_o law_n be_v on_o our_o side_n and_o we_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o you_o must_v conform_v or_o suffer_v deep_o we_o say_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n can_v persuade_v our_o conscience_n but_o come_v forth_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o good_a example_n with_o spiritual_a weapon_n if_o you_o will_v persuade_v we_o for_o we_o can_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n leave_v our_o religion_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v lead_v we_o into_o by_o his_o own_o power_n upon_o these_o thing_n but_o must_v rather_o give_v up_o to_o suffer_v in_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o we_o know_v plain_o it_o be_v god_n alone_o by_o his_o power_n that_o do_v bring_v people_n into_o the_o true_a worship_n and_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n and_o also_o to_o the_o service_n which_o be_v now_o allow_v for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o collect_n for_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o thirteen_o sunday_n after_o trinity_n almighty_a and_o most_o merciful_a
