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

which makes words their cloak with the light which Christ Iesus hath enlightned us withall we deny which brings us to witnesse the unchangeable with it we doe witnesse the figure of Christ in its place and with it Coesar in his place shall have his due and with it we doe witnesse the end of the figure Christ Iesus the substance And all such as hold up the figure we doe utterly deny as seeing and knowing they are to be condemned who live in those changeable things with that which doth not change and to you this is the word of God and the law we doe own which is according to the light of Christ in every mans conscience which law respects no mans person And all such which professe themselves Christian Magistrates and say they own Christ and they do exalt him and are in envy and persecution and persecute them that declare against deceit and pride and lust and such as the Prophets Christ and his Apostles cried against all such Professors and Profession which is acted in that nature contrary to the light all this is with the light to be condemned for with the light it is to be seen to be out of the doctrine of Christ and all you that are there in such actions you have a name that you live but you are dead with the life you are judged and with the light condemned and such we deny with the light in which is the unity And all you which do not wait to be guided by the light of Christ that with it your minds may be led and directed to God to stand in his Councell but are making Laws and Acts and Bonds in that nature that acteth contrary to this light in the Conscience and then makes a profession with this nature of those words that were declared from the eternall spirit of God and so lives in these things that are acted contrary to the light which is eternall now with the light which is eternall and never changeth is all this comprehended fathomed and condemned and the Law of God witnessed which is perfect which endures for ever which who walks in it shall grow up as a free planted by the River of water whose leaf shall never fade nor fall but you that are wicked are not so you are turned from the light your fruit withers and you are tossed too and fro like the chaffe for you are turned from that which is eternall to the changeable in the changeable things for the Law of God serves all ages which is according to that of God in every mans conscience which is the same in all ages it endures for ever And all you that are not led by the light of Iesus Christ which he hath enlightened you withall which has the letter which from it was declared which are such teachers and professors which say none shall have the infallible judgment none shall come to have the eternall spirit of God as the Apostles had all your profession we do deny with the same eternall spirit that gave forth the scriptures and with the light all such are condemned whatsoever profession they are of Sect or Opinion that walk not in the light and have not the life that gave forth the Scriptures with the light they are all condemned wherein we have unity And all you that are turned from the light which Christ Iesus hath enlightened you withall though you may professe the words declared from the light and their commands which they obeyed and yet not led by tht same light with it the light you are to be condemned And you that are turned from the light which Christ Iesus hath enlightened you withall you are in the self righteousnesse you are turned from the Lord our righteousnesse who are out of the light and hate the light and with the light you are to be condemned and your righteousnesse From him who is a lover of your souls a lover of the Seed a lover of the Creation for the establishing of the righteous Law and setting up of righteousness and cleansing the land of evill doers which the righteous law takes hold upon which is perfect acccording to that of God in all consciences and is against such as act contrary to the light of God in the conscience who is a lover of peace and unity in that which never changeth in that which comprehends time in that which sees out of time from which love proceeds where all the children of God in the light meet in one judgment and mind which light is the condemnation of the world in which light they walk where there is no strife not war for the earth nor about the earth but from the earth su h are redeemed to God the Lord whose the earth is who is come to reign and coming to reign Glory g ory to God Almight for ever who liveth and reigneth and endureth forever This is witnessed amongst them whom the world scornfully calls Quakers and the light is ours which shall condemn the world and them which do profess what they are not To the light of Christ in you all I speak that with it you may see your selves there is your Teacher that will not lye which will concondemn you if you do lye which will witness me eternally condemn you that hate it and shew you all the way to salvacion that love it and from Christ from whence it doth come which is the way to the Father and to you all this is the word of God and love and peace to your souls and a visitation And lay aside all your profession in words and have not the life for you are worse then they that make no profession for you have a cloak you are worse then the Publican the open sinner which sees himself quickly which is more justified with that which lets him see himself then you that stand up in your self-profession with that light which comes from Christ all self and all corruption and sin is judged and condemned and nothing is justified but what is sanctified and nothing is glorified but what is justified and so all every where r ad your selves to the light in all your consciences I speak that with it you may see your selves where you are what you have been what you are whom you serve whom you worship and whether you know the Father of light or had known there had been such a one if the Scripture had not spoken of such a one with the light that knowledge is condemned for its death that talks of the same which knowledge is outward and whether you had known there had been a holy Ghost if the Scriprure had not spoken of the holy Ghost or whether you had known there had been a Christ if the Scripture had not spoken of Christ And whether you had known there had been a Gospell if the Scripture had not spoken of the Gospel to the light of Christ I speak it will let you see what you do possess of the life that was before the Scripture was given forth for the word was and the light was before the Scripture was the chapter is not the light nor the verse is not the light nor the word but from the word from the light and from the life were the Scriptures declared and wi h the light and with the word and in the life they are all owned again and all that make a trade of them with the light and with the life and with the word are all such denied And all such as hold up an outward Temple their minds ate turned from the light of Christ within which brings to witness the temple of the holy Ghost and worships that which is turned from the light of Christ which speak their imaginations upon the words declared from the light these are the cage of unclean birds these are they that do persecute these are they that paint themselves and such are the harlots the welfavoured harlots and build the Tombs of the Prophets and the Apostles and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous but with the light which Christ Jesus hath inlightned withall which comes from him all such actions and practices and such a profession from God is seen and condemned With all the children of light who are of God and to you all this is the word of God This I command you all in the presence of the living God to walk in the

be no more Lo here is Christ Lo there is Christ and toto al this is the word of God you that of God in you al I speak that with it your minds may be stayed upon God and that you may come to witness your soules quickned with the living power which raises it up out of death and throws down the earth and wait in the light which comes from Christ that this you may come to enjoy in life substance and power which will lead you out of form and words to the life that gave forth the words for who have the words and not the life from it are strangers and with it are to be judged for so to it I speak
