A65886	A serious account in XXXV evident reasons (to all who desire satisfaction) why the people of the lord, called Quakers, cannot go to worship at those places called churches and chappels, and to inform the magistrates and ministers that such consciencious people (as are separated from these places) ought not to be compelled (from their peaceable meetings) to their worship and churches, so called, being a short discovery of the way, worship, and principles of the true ministers and persecuted people of God, in several exceptions against the practices, worship, and principles of the priests, both of the Presbyterians, and Episcopal-men, and others of the same affinity, in some of which principles the Presbyterians are the rather concerned, but in others of them, both are concerned in the general / by Geo.

silent from their preaching to them to believe if all may not believe and people need not spend their money to the Priests for their deceitful preaching to them for what God hath determined shall come to passe without their Trade of Preaching for Money But this I say that the Saints were elected of God thorow the sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the Truth unto obedience 2 Thess. 2.13 1 Pet. 1.2 and their Election stood in the Seed which obtained the Promise which was before the World was And the cause of mens being reprobated is their Disobedience and Rebellion in the Evil seed against that which may be known of God which is manifest in them For even as they liked not to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a Reprobate mind Rom. 1. And many that may be saved and may enter into Rest may come short thorow unbelief and the deceitfulness of sin And some that have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of God if they shall return thither again and be entangled therein their latter end is worse than the beginning See Isa. 1.16 17 18 19 20. Ezek. 18.20 to the end of the Chapter Heb. 4. chap. 6.5 6. 10.26 2 Pet. 2.1 20 21 22. So that the cause of man's destruction doth not lie on God's part nor is the fault his but mens Iniquity and Rebellion against the Grace of God given them and wilfully submitting themselves to the Wicked One who is the Author of all Iniquity VIII Of Original Sin ANd whereas the Priests accuse all men except Christ both the Wicked and the Righteous and the Infants who never actually committed sin to be guilty of Original Sin more or lesse from the first Parents c. To this I say that it was the Devil that was the Author and Original of all Sin and cause of men's being guilty of Sin when they transgress the Righteous Law of God within and are in the state of Adam in the transgression and in that unrighteous nature by which all in that state are the Children of Wrath but it was not barely the first Parents eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge and so their sinning alone that made men guilty or by nature the children of wrath Though by one man who is the Man of Sin Sin entered into the world and Death by Sin but men being naturally subject to the power of Darkness in themselves and their coming under the nature which brings death and the guilt and causeth the curse upon them For death hath passed upon all men for that all have sinned Rom. 5.12 and hath reigned from Adam to Moses over them that have not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression But the Righteous who are begotten again into the Divine Nature of the second Adam and come to be of the Seed which the Blessing is to which is of Abraham such are brought to see the Devil and his works destroyed and are come out of the first Adam's state and nature which was in the transgression Gal. 3.9 2 Pet. 1.4 1 Jo. 3. But whereas some of the Priests have affirmed That Infants in the Mother's womb and such as have not actually committed sin are guilty of Original Sin from Adam by Imputation which they say is enough to condemn them To this I answer That Sin is not imputed when there is no Law Rom. 5. and the Law was added because of transgression What then have Infants in the Mother's womb the Law or are they then capable of the Law that was added because of transgression for it is the righteous Law or Light of God within every man that causeth Sin to be imputed where that Law is transgressed So that of this Law the Priests have in this as in many other things shewed themselves to be exceeding ignorant And though the Curse follow the Seed of the Evil-doer and such as are estranged from the womb who are in that rebellious nature which causeth the Wrath to come upon them Yet some were sanctified in the womb and some filled with the Holy Ghost and so sanctified from the womb Jer. 1.5 Luke 1.15 and some were perfect from the day they were created until the Iniquity was found in them Ezek. 28.15 And this Proverb shall not be used That the Fathers have eaten soure Grapes and the Childrens teeth are set on edge but every man shall dye for his own Iniquity every one that eateth the soure grapes his teeth shall be set on edge Jer. 31.29 The soul that sinneth it shall die Ezek. 18.4 So that we have greatly seen the Priests Ignorance about Original Sin and the Imputation of it and their accusing the Righteous as being guilty of it And now with the Light of the Lord who it is that fashioneth the Child in the womb are we come to see the two Seeds and the two Births the one of which is shapen in Iniquity and conceived in Sin and this the Judgment and Hatred of God follows and takes hold upon but the other hath the Lord covered in the womb and written all its Members in his Book when they were not fashioned Psal. 139. And where this Birth is brought forth the Lord maketh him to hope when he is upon-his Mothers breasts for he is cast upon the Lord from the womb Psa. 22.9 10. Now all that come to the Light of the Lord and to witness the Key of David who saw these two Seeds in him before he came to the Victory or had the Evil seed cast out such must come to see and be sensible of these two in them and when each acts or speaks in them before they come to see the Warfare accomplished or the Victory obtained in the Righteous Seed over the contrary And such as can truly discern these and the nature of each Seed they can read what Jacob and Esau is in the Mystery the one of which God loves and the other he hates and here that is seen wherein men are Children of Wrath and that wherein they become Children of God and inherit his Blessing IX Of the Serpent and the forbidden Fruit. ALso the Priests Ignorance and gross darkness hath appeared who have affirmed That the forbidden Fruit which the Serpent tempted Eve to eat of was an Apple From which Dream of theirs the picture of a Snake and an Apple in its mouth in a Tree with the image of a Man and a Woman are set up at the beginning of Bibles and in many other places from which some have imagined that the Serpent which beguiled Eve was a visible Creature or Beast of the field which for that time had power to speak and to present an Apple to deceive Eve withal when as God said to Man and Woman before the Fall Behold I have given you every Herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the Earth and every Tree in the which is the fruit of a Tree yeelding seed to you
