A84832	A visitation to the Iewes, from them whom the Lord hath visited from on high, among whom he hath performed his promise made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to his seed, which Moses saw, and the prophets gave testimonie of, to which seed the Apostles witnessed, which seed we are, which seed of Abraham Christ came according to the flesh, which we now witness, glory to the Lord for evermore. Also, a visitation to all you that have long had the Scriptures; but found out of the life of them that gave them forth, that are stumbling about the words, fighting and contending about them, imprisoning and persecuting them that witness the life that gave them fotth [sic]. / Given forth by G.F.	Fox, George, 1624-1691.	1656 (1656)	Wing F1978; Thomason E883_7; ESTC R202191	39,450	39

wrath on him that doth evil whose soul is not subject to the Higher power but is gone from the truth the light into the power of wickedness and darkne●s which the power of God is above Wherefore ye must needs be subject not only for wrath but for conscience sake so the light which turneth from the evill and the powers and rulers of darkness and spiritual wickednesses in high places and principalities the soul it brings to be subject to the higher power for conscience sake and to own the minister of God which is for good which is in the power which who resists brings to himself damnation who to the evill doers is a terror for the power of God turns against them that goes from the light and this is the power that no mans person doth respect So for the Lords sake submit your selves to every ordinance of man 1 Pet. 2.13 14 c. whether it be the King as Superior or to Governors or unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evill doers and for the praise of them that do well here the higher power is it that punisheth the evil doer and torments the evill goes against it and against all the spiritual wickednesses in high places take notice of that To that ordinance for the Lords sake we are to be subject unto for the Lords sake for it is the will of God to have the evil doer punished that so with well doing you put to silence the ignorance of foolish men as free not using your liberty as a cloke of maliciousness but as the servants of God Mark. And again Peter who was in the light and his soul subject to the higher power and owned every ordinance of man for the Lords sake which went against the evill he said unto the Rulers when they commanded him to speak no more in the name of Jesus Whether was it better to obey God or Man This spake Peter he that stood against mans ordinance which was contrary to the command of God so such as did not believe in the light such was not to be obeyed whose soules were not subject to the higher powers for the commands of God are not contrary to his own power for whose souls are subject to the higher power they own Christ the light the power of God the end of the Law So all for the Lords sake be ye subject to every ordinance of man for the Lords sake for the punishment of evill doers mark to be subject to that ordinance that punishes the evil that doth not punish the good that doth not go against the command of God nor Christ for it is that power the soul must be subject unto And Peter that was subject to the higher power who was not subject to the Rulers the High-Priests Elders and Councill who charged them to speak no more in the name of Christ said to them Whether was it better to obey God or Man and to their ordinance was not subject but preached Christ the light whose soul was subject to the higher power Neither was the three children subject to the Kings command who commanded them to bow to the image he set up neither was Daniel obedient to the Kings decree which was made that he should not pray unto his God Neither was Mordecai obedient to the Kings command and to Haman could not bow though by his not bowing all the Jewes might have been destroyed so him that would have Mordecai to bow God bowed and overthrew Haman and brought down Nebuchadnezzar that set up the image and gave for his commandment to all Nations People and Languages that all to it should bow and God with his power made him to know the most High reigned which most High made him to bow and feed with the beasts of the field seven times was to pass over til he knew the most High to rule in the Kingdoms of men and gives it to whomsoever he will mark to whomsoever he will he gives it hee was a higher power above Nebuchadnezzars power which Nebuchadnezzar was out of which power overthrew him which power the three children was in This he knew not by all his might and authority until seven times passed over him and that which was to pass over him seven times was to be fulfilled before it was known that the most High ruled in the Kingdomes of men mark which thing he did no● know when he was against that power which the three children were in and to which their souls were subject though they were cast into the fire for not bowing to the image nor harkning to the Kings command But the image and the founder of the image was thrown down and before he was thrown down he knew not the most High to rule as they do not now and such God with his power breaks downe and the images to which the servants of the Lord could not bow that were subject to the Higher power that delivered them which power threw down Nebuchadnezar that had set up the image and made him to bow to and to worship and to know that the most High reigned And to you this is the Word of the Lord.
