shall not the least of wise men Iudge thee and thy spirit nay hast thou not helped on the Devils Kingdom with lies as I shall bring no other witness against thee herein but her whom thou so highly commends for says thou her temptations afflictions and conflict was repeated and renewed so often as opportunity was given by her new visiters which visiters are these letters which thou hast published but saith she I am no way troubled at such continued charges Now how must this be divided betwixt you seeing the one at least must be the Lyar both in this and divers other things I might instance but I delight not to rake into such filth onely I shall let thee see in a few words what a body of confusion is in this daughter thou art boasting of which shame might have been hid had it not been for your glorying against the truth and thuogh to me both thou and she is known without words yet before others who yet judge things according to the outward appearance I shall tak but a word or two out of her own mouth where by her foundation might be discovered to the least of those who know the Kingdom She says she knows her self assuredly to be in the Kingdom of God yet still kept groaning for Adoption I say the Kingdome of God consists not in groaning for Adoption but in righteousness peace and joy in that which is holy and none are there but ons who are Adopted no farther in the Kingdom then new-born and self denyed though shesay herself is in the Kingdom which never came so far as a Disciple where self is standing much less not into the Kingdom Further she confesses her own deceivings yet within her unjudged which are yet to try and the yoke of sinful convenant in her yet unbroken all which and much more may be taken from her own pen without wronging her as her Letters by thee published may witness yet withal this she says She knows her self to be in the Kingdom of God when it is no other but exalted into the Chambers of your own imaginary for all who knows the Kingdom of God can witness against you that no such unclean stuffe comes there no self nor self-deceivings no sin nor sinful covenant comes there all this is in the Kingdome of Satan and not of God never was nor ever shall be blessed be God who hath condemned out all that filth and confusion and all that lives in it that he may keep his Kingdom pure therefore do the Virgins love him And had she known the Kingdome of God in her she had never wondred how I durst adventure to write to one whose face I had not seen as she doth in her Paper and says she consider whether ever the Apostles or Prophets thou art like herein I say did not God command his servants to write his Message to strange Lands and strange persons and did he first send them to look upon their faces to know what to write to them or doth that add to his Word Oh shame with your blindness herein is God become as blinde as you who cannot judge but by carnal appearance and will you limit him to your selves that eye never saw Prophets nor Prophesies Christ nor Apostles but this is all you know of God or his Word his Iudgments and Kingdom who are blind and deaf as to the invisible and so the visible and carnal Iudges judging God to be like your selves imagines self to be in the Kingdom but the blind and deaf comes not there in that state Had God no other servants but such as you it might be long ere the obedience of Christ and his sufferings should be manifest in flesh for the gathering his seed into the light as ever he did send them to strange people who declared his Word to them whose faces they had not seen to open their blind eyes and so bring them out of darkness into the light to be seen which to her is a wonder And this is thy daughter thou boasts on and calls her a daughter of Abraham who is a daughter of disobedience strengthening her self against the Word of the Lord because the instrument had not seen her face resisting in her own will the tender of eternal love and this thou calts Strength in Weakness which is obstinate wickedness and that both she and thou must know when you have finished your measure and of her blood I am cleer for ever And this is the bush thou boasts of which is not consumed though fire be in it I say there is a time when the fire is in the Bush and the Bush unconsumed then is the Seed of God in Egypt under Pharaoh and the Magitians and in that state death raigns from Adam till Moses Also there is a time when the light of Israel doth burn up the Bush and devour the Briars and Thorns in one day then is that God known who is a consuming fire to all that choaks his seed go learn what this means then shalt thou see whereof thou art glorying and under that glory a fire shall be kindled Who would set Briars and Thorns against me in battel I will go through them and burn them together Thy murmuring against the Northern people is come before the Lord Thus saith the Lord I have raised one from the North from the rising of the Sun is he come upon you as upon morter and clay who declares from the beginning knows him and who is before time can say that he is righteous but thou canst not hear him nor declare him who consumes the Bushes and makes plain before him that he may plant in the Wilderness and make it a Land of springs for the poor and needy to drink at where shall come no more fear of Briars and Thorns but the little ones shall feed safely this death knows not only the fame you have got Woe to you brambles and bushes who tears the lambs on every side Josephs bough you know not nor its fruit though you have got it to talk of you are the fruit of the cursed ground your end is to hand yet a lamentation there is that doth not change for the seeds sake By a lover of your Souls James Naylor A word to the Reprover Or some Animadversions upon the foregoing Paper AS now the living God is visiting and gathering his seed out of bondage and confusion so hath he been ever doing from the time of the manifesting his pleasure in that word of Grace Gen. 3. 15. if by the seed be intended the remnant whom the Lord our God shall call Acts 2. 39. Rom. 8. 28. Revel. 12. 17. Revel. 17. 14. That seed of whom its said A seed shall serve him it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation Psal. 22. 30. This seed hath the most high been gathering since the time of their first scattering and for that cause among others is Iesus Christ said to be the same yesterday to day and for
