Or, A discovery of the ground and end of all forms, professions, sects and opinions, and also how they now are made as friends, and joyn hand in hand against the substance, the life and power of God, which is now made manifest in his sons and daughters (according to his promise) as hath been plainly manifest in several meetings betwixt the people called Quakers, and the people called Baptists, which is here describ'd. And also a description of the true Church, ... / VVritten by a friend to all tender hearted ones, who hunger and thirst after God, who are hoping and seeking in forms for life, to the directing of their mindes, where and how to finde the true light which leads into the true life and power of Godliness, the end of all forms, where I rest with all who in spirit read me, who am known to them who are without, by the name, Iames Parnell.

the first man yet standing and the first Image and the Serpent head for while you are strangers to the light and your minds are from the light you are wandred and strayed in the pathes of darknes and so are the children of darkness in whom the Prince of darkness rules even the Serpent who is head in man but the promise is Gen. 3.15 the seed of the woman shal bruise the Serpents head but you are acting in your own wills and wisdome the Serpent is your head and you are not yet come to witness the first promise fulfilled but are still in the fall under the power of Darkness in the disobedience and strangers unto the Cross and so have no part in Christ in that nature for none comes to have a right in Christ but through the Cross for as many as are baptised into Christ are baptised into his death and they that are dead with him do live with him and they that are dead are freed from sin and they that are in Christ are new creatures old things are passed away and all things become new but they that are not in Christ are still in old Adam and so in the fall under the curse and under deaths dominion drove out from the presence of God into the earth and death reigns over all from Adam until Moses Rom. 5.14 of what profession soever therefore now read your selves by the light which comes from Iesus Christ and shines into your dark hearts and searcheth the heart and tryeth the reins and maketh manifest the secrets to which light I am made manifest and by it witnessed in you all and unto it I do direct your mindes for the turning of your mindes from the darkness to the light all you that have a desire to find the way of truth in what form soever that thereby you may come to see how you have been wandered and scattered in the many wayes of darkness in the land of darkness in this cloudy dark day as sheep without a shepheard being carryed about after the voyce of strangers from the shepheard of your souls therefore hearken no more without to those that cry lo here or lo there is Christ and so draws your minds without to seek for a Christ without and a redemption and a sanctification without and a righteousness without and a God withou but turn your minds within for it is to be found within if ever you find for there is no way to come unto the true knowledg of the truth or of God or of Christ but by that of God within for what is to be known of God is manifest within and the same which descended the same doth ascend and so the way to God is to be found within by the light which manifests death and slayes death do not you read the parable of the woman that had lost the piece of silver and could not find it until she had turned into the house and lighted the candle swept the house then she found that which she had lost and rejoyced with her neighbors Luke 15.8.9 Pro. 20.27 Iohn 1.4 now the Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord and his life was the light of men so turn in your minds to the light of the Lord Jesus which if you love it to bring your deeds to it wil let you see the deeds of darkness and the pathes of death and it wil also search your hearts and make manifest your inward parts and let you see what you have lost and as you love this light and likes to retain it in your minds and by it to be guided it wil lead you out of all the crooked froward waies of darkness into the light of life and so to come to find and know the voice of the true shepheard who is come to seek out and gather all his scattered sheep out from amongst the mountains and valleys and the many wayes and crooked pathes wherein they have been scattered and strayed in the land of Darkness Ier. 23.3 and to gather them together into one flock into one way into one sheepfold he alone wil be their shepheard and this you shall come to witness as you love this light and follow it it wil lead you out of your many Forms and many wayes into one way out of your own wisdome and imaginations wherein you have been building Babel and this wil strip you of all your own righteousness wherewith you have covered over your deceitful hearts and it wil lay your deceits before you and bring you to judgement and if you love this light and follow it and be willing to wait upon it out of your own wills and wisdome and imaginations and carnall thoughts reasonings and consultations and selfe-acting Iohn 1● and imatating it wil lead you to know the voice of the true shepheard within you from the voice of the stranger and so to know the precious from the precious from the vile he who saith I am the light he saith I am the good shepheard who wil bring you to know the way and the dore into the sheepfold if you do not run out in your own wills and seek to climb up another way for the way is but one and he that saith I am the light saith I am the way and I am the dore into the sheepfold so if you turn from the Light and stumble at the light you stumble at all and so fall but if you love the light and be willing to follow the light it will lead you through all and to deny your selves and to take up his Cross unto thy self and to pass through good report and evil report through persecution through death 2 Cor. ● 8 and the way wil not be grievous but joyous and so you wil come into the way and in at the dore unto the sheepfold and so into the fellowship and into the life and into the power and into the faith of the Saints where all live in union in one united by one into one body the end of all jarring and jangling divisions and disputes therefore said the Apostle where is the wise where is the disputer of this world hath not God made foolish the wisdome of this world 1 Cor. 1. therefore I do you call to come out from amongst them and be ye seperate and touch no unclean thing and I will receive you saith the Lord and I wil be unto you a father and ye shal be my Sons Daughters now you are called and this is the day of your visitation for now light is come into the world and if you like to retain it in your minds happy are you 2 Cor. 6.17 18. but if not by it you are left without excuse and it wil judge you at the last day for he that loves the light shal not walk in darkness but shal have the light of life but he that doth evil hates the light which is his condemnation Iohn 8.12 now the way is plain to all simple ones who have a desire to find it declared by a friend and witness to the eternall Truth who am called I. P. FINIS

talking foolish jesting and evil communication and to be short stil alive in the worlds nature strangers to the holy God and so under deaths dominion and here I comprehend all forms sects judgements and opinions by the light which slayes Death and takes away its Dominion unto its selfe to whom it belongs and doth see them and judge them to be out of the light in Darkness and so in confusion one clashing against another with their judgements and opinions and here is the disputes of this world and the one cries Lo here is Christ in this form and another cries so here is Christ in this form and none else when as Christ is within his Saints and theirs is a false Christ which they have set up in their imaginations and here is the false Prophets and false Christs that are gone out into the world who have deceived many And hereis the ground of forms a setting up a likeness of a thing a figure or image of a thing Reve. 13. but not the thing it selfe and here is the beast and the image of the beast which all the world worships and wonders after even Satan as an Angel of light in his several shapes forms and likenesses to deceive the simple and here is the form without the life and power and here is the building upon a sandy foundation which all must come down Luk 6.49 Mat. 19.20 who here the words and talk of the words and are sayers of the words and hear is him that saith he hath kept the commandments and Ordinances and yet his heart from God after other lovers who is searched and found out by Christ the Light and here is the Spirituall Babel with its foundation and Babels building and Babels builders and here is the Image whose head is gold whose breast is silver and thighes of brass Dan. 2. and legs of iron and feet part iron and part clay but now is he come and made manifest who strikes at feet of Image who is called the stone cut out of mountaine without hands even Jesus Christ the son of God now after all this profession of his name and of faith in him but now he findes none in the earth who hath revealed himself in the poor despised ones of the world and those which have been counted the blind and ignorant and as you have read the poor receive the Gospel the world was made by him but the world knew him not he came unto his own and his own received him not Iohn 1. Acts 2.16 17 18 19. but as many as receives him to them he gives power to become the Sons of God to whom that promise is fulfilled which was promised in the dayes of old by the father that in the last dayes he would poure forth his Spirit upon all flesh and his sons and daughters should prophesie and the young men see visions and if you wil receive it this is the Elias which was for to come in the Spirit as he came in the flesh even the life and power of what hath been so long professed which the Lord hath now manifested in his servants and handmaidens whom he hath now sent forth abroad Mat. 22.2 3. freely to call into the Supper of the Lord even the marriage of the Lamb and to preach his name no more after the flesh but after the Spirit and to preach him within the hope of glory the Ministry which hath been hid from ages and generations and they that will be his disciples must deny themselves and take up his Cross and follow him through evil report and good report through persecution and through death and who are faithful until death must receive a Crown of life and reigne with him for evermore in his Kingdome of which there is no end neither beginning over which he is made heire and King blessed be Jehovah sing Haelalujah to his name all ye that know him And now that his name is spreading abroad and his message declaring by the mouth of his faithful messengers those who have long talked of his name and so long professed his name knows him not neither believes on him but are found hypocrites and dissemblers and blind leaders of the blind whited walls and painted Sepulchers but within full of uncleanness hypocrisie and deceit even the generation of vipers and Serpents and those will not receive the message but makes light of it and saith they believe on a Christ at Jerusalem and now in the heavens far off they know not where and they cry he hath done all for us and hath satisfied for our sins and they shal not be imputed to us say they and they cry out this is a new Light and a strange Light and we know not whence it is but they say they wil keep to the old Rule the Scriptures which they call the word of God and the old way though they be meer strangers to the life of the Scriptures but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled upon them as Christ saith for judgemet am I come into the world that they which see not might see Iohn 9.39 and that they which see might be made blind as their forefathers professed Abraham and Moses and said we know that God spake unto Moses but as for this fellow we know not whence he is Iohn 9.29 and they said God was their Father but Jesus Christ answered them and said Iohn 8. If ye were Abrahams children ye would do the works of Abraham and he also said If God were your Father then would you love me for I proceeded forth and came from him but saith he ye are of your Father the Devill and his works you do and will do and thus are the Pharisaicall professors of these times marked out to be in the steps of their fore-fathers for this is the same Christ that suffered at Ierusalem but they are blind and cannot see neither indeed do believe the Scripture nor walk according to it but are in the old and broad way of the world wherein their fore-fathers walked and led many to destruction but if these did believe the Scripture they would believe on this light which is come into the world which the Scripture bares testimony of even the Spirit of truth which the world cannot receive and some of them scoff and scorn and revile reproach and slander and rayle at the messengers of Truth and some strike them and stone them and buffer them and stock them and whip them and imprison them and despitefully use them yet they are made able through the power of him that hath sent them for to go on in boldness Mat. 22.4 5 6. but those persecutors are not found worthy Therefore the Lord wil send forth his Armies and destroy these murderers and burn up their City and these are they that have professed to be his near kindred friends and acquaintance but now are found strangers who prophesied in his name and in his name done

Mat. 5.34 but out of the Doctrine of Chirst and so hath not God so I told him of his swearing and he would have shufled it off but he could not 2 Iobn 9. and I told him He that seems to be Religious and brideleth not his tongue his Religion is vain and therefore he might own his Religoin to be vain who could not bridle his tongue and then in his wil he shufled off and said he would not confess his sin to me Iam. 1.26 for I could not forgive sin in scorn he spoke then I said wo unto him that hides his sin and covers his iniquity but he shufled away in much confusion of face as they wil all appear as by the Light they come to be searched and tryed their coverings wil be found too narrow and their nakedness will appear to their great shame and confusion of face and they will be made to bow to the truth and lay down their Crowns at the feet of Iesus for he is risen and reigns in his Saints to whom the Nations must bow and every tongue confess to their condemnation who do oppose him but here now by the single eye you may see the emptiness of these forms and what a blind hypocrisie this is of them to wash the outside but leaves the inside full of uncleanness and so the inside defiles the outside A Copy of the Queries which was sent to the Baptised people in Fenstanton with some more added for them or any whom they do concern to answer Severall queries to you which be called Baptists by your Teachers to be answered Querie 1.
