A76237	A seasonable warning and word of advice to all papists, but most especially to those of the kingdome of France; for them to turn from their idolatry, and gross superstition, and speedily to repent, and hast to meet the Lord by amendment of life, least he come on them, and smite them unawares ... / Charles Baily.

the hands of the wicked so that they cannot turn from their wickedness by preaching up their Masters Kingdome for term of life which thing accomplished the Devil knows he hath them sure enough because it was the sin unto death which the Apostle said should not be prayed for So people Consider the miserable captivity and bondage you are in spending all the dayes of your lives in being taught by these Deceivers and in the end you must die in your sins which is a deplorable state for the Wages of sin is death and as the Tree falls so it lyes saith the Scripture and every one shall receive according to the deeds done in the body for his servants ye are to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death or of righteousnesse unto eternall life So read and consider and be no longer deceived God will not be mocked Such as you sow such shall ye reap and money cannot buy you an immortal possession neither can corruption purchase incorruption as your wicked leaders make you in effect to believe Thus hath the mistery of Iniquity and the man of sin fully wrought and revealed who by all deceiveablenesse of unrighteousnesse deceived the Nations one after this manner and another after that manner but his subtile wiles hath wrought the deepest amongst men under the name of Christians that thereby he might the easier deceive the hearts of the simple who have any desire in them after the true and living God and for these his instruments in this work he hath imposed the most subtile and craftiest men in all generations since the power of his working thereby the more to amaze the people in saying are not these the learned men are not these the Orthodox men and if these do not know how should we know who are illiterate and unlearned every way and by this his deceiveable working hath he possessed the hearts of the people with a lye for the wisdome of the wise men of this world know not the things of God neither can the naturall man discern the things of the Spirit for they are spiritually discerned therefore saith the Apostle Ye see your Calling Brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called for God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen yea and things which are not to bring to nought things that are that no flesh might glory in his presence but of him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God hath made him unto us wisdome righteousnesse sanctification and redemption that according as it is written he that glorieth let him glory in the Lord 1 Cor. 1. 26-31 yea and God taketh the wise in their own craft and turneth the wisdome of the wise backward because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men and the wisdome of man is foolishnesse with God and Christ Jesus also saith I thank thee Father that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes and sucklings Mark God hath even revealed his secrets unto babes and sucklings in which God doth perfect his praises and this is marvelous in the eyes of many And also the Apostle James saith God hath chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdome Friends this is far from the Romish Doctrine who exalt learning above the Spirit of God in whom is the candle of wisdome and in saying this I doe them no wrong for it appeareth evidently every way doe they not make use of a sort of men which they call Jesuits and Monks whom they esteeme the most to go to and fro abroad in the Nations and by their subtilty any way exalt their own horn through which means much blood hath been shed and grievous disorders amongst many hath been their fruits and effects will be witnesse enough for these things This is far from the example of Christ Jesus who made choyce of simple poor Fisher-men to send forth in his work even such who knew not the letter as saith the Scriptures and the wisdome of the Jews in those dayes had the simple hearted who believed in derision esteemed them accursed because they knew not the Law and asked if any of the Rulers did believe for ye may see preaching of Christ was esteemed a thing very much below them yet through the foolishness of this preaching as it was accounted of by the wisdome of man it pleased the Lord to save many for the Cross of Christ was preached which to the Jews was a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishnesse who sought after wisdome in those dayes but to every one that believed it was the power of God unto salvation as hath been said for he that will be truly wise unto salvation must truly become a fool as saith the Apostle that he may be made wise and saith Christ Except ye be converted and become as little children ye cannot enter into the Kingdome of God And this was witnessed by Paul who according to the learning and wisdome of this world surpassed many in his generation who was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel yet accounted it but dung and drosse that he might win Christ though according to the flesh he might glory above many Where is the wise where is the disputer hath not God appointed the the foolish things to confound them yea verily and shall for ever The little stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands which is spoken of in Daniel shall become a great mountain and cover the whole earth and blessed are they who shall fall upon it that they may be broken for if it fall upon them it will grind them to powder be they never so mighty or never so learned and never so prudent they shall never be able to stand before him Therefore all people submit and come under the banner of his love which is stretched forth over your heads for if you doe not you must come under his iron rod which will dash you to pieces for reign over all he must for ever and evermore though Gog and Magog set themselves in battel against him yea no weapon formed against him shall prosper for their great grength shall be turned into confusion for ever the Lord God of Heaven and Earth hath determined it whose will and purpose none shall be able to prevent though the Heathen may rage and the people imagine a vain thing yet all shall be in vain for God will set his Son upon his holy hill of Sion to reign over all for ever whose right alone it is and for his sake he will rebuke Kings Therefore blessed shall they be who resist not his glorious coming though Satan may have power a while to kill some of his followers and cast others into prison to

for if you will wilfully continue to follow your blind guides who dare not appear openly to vindicate their own way as manifestly appeareth ye will utterly fall into the pit of utter darknesse both you and them together out of which there is no recovery I my self have been a Prisoner in Bourg de Ault for speaking to a couple of Priests desiring them that I might have the liberty either in publick Market place or some other convenient place where the people might hear and I should prove what I said to them to be the truth of God but seeing they denyed me that Christian liberty this I publish amongst you the truth of what here is written I proffer'd to seal with my life for I did proffer them my body to do with it what they had power the same I desired of the Judg which had me in examination yet it would not be granted me yea the two said Priests did take two oaths against me yet would not stay for to hear me speak but hasted away though desired and some of the people did expect it and this proves their works to be the works of darknesse and not of the light for he which doth good cometh to the light that his works might be made manifest that they are wrought in God but they whose works are wrought in the dark hate the light neither will they come to the light because their deeds are evill So that by their fruits we know them as Christ said who is the bread of life which is invisible and nourisheth the invisible Soul this is the true bread which came down from Heaven and whosoever feedeth thereon shall never dye and except you come to eat of this his flesh and drink of his blood ye have no life in you for it is incorruptible And though he took bread and brake it to his disciples the night before he was offered up and said Take eat this is my body he did not really give them his body though he bid them break bread in remembrance of him untill he came Mark they were but to doe it untill he came which shewed plainly the natural bread was not him even whilst it was in his own hand but a figure of him for as it was distributed amongst them so was his life and that they were to do in remembrance untill his holy life descended upon them again which they did witnesse not many dayes after at Jerusalem and they had not need of any thing to put them in mind of him for he lived and reigned really in them and the Apostle Paul said it shewed the Lords death until he came which saying was a glorious truth of God for it brought them out of all visibles shewing that the invisible light was to reign in them for he reproved many of them who had gotten so into the breaking of bread that they eat and drank until they were drunk 1 Cor. which the Lords body would not have done yet their bread and wine had as much vertue in it as yours can have But of these things we who are called Quakers we would bring your teachers to open trial to see whether it hath more vertue in it after consecration as ye call it then before the Priest hath spoken some of the words of Christ over the bread for it is not unknown that the Devil did take the words of Scripture to tempt the Son of God with therefore his children may in like manner speak them deceive the sons of men with them So that if they have any vertue in them let them come forth in like manner as hath been proposed unto them to wit if their bread after consecration hath more vertue in it then other bread hath let them shew it by the tryal of it by putting it with other bread and we and they shall see to the keeping of it and if the one doe not corrupt as well as the other then it will appear there is more vertue in it but on the contrary if they both corrupt then may ye see your teachers to be Deceivers and that ye are fed with a lye for the body of Christ cannot corrupt neither did it ever see corruption in that nature for it is incorruptible and spiritual Truly people this concerns you much to look into seeing you are thus taught and deluded for the Soul which sinneth shall dye and it will be a folly for any one of you for to say in the dreadful day of account Our Fathers have eaten sowre grapes and our teeth are set on edge pleading antiquity will not serve your turns though I know God hath forborn you in these abominable abominations and Idolatry even worshipping of pieces of Bread Stocks and Stones the one you say is the very body of Christ and the other his likenesse and all a lye and hath and will be reproved and made manifest and will get further to the utter overthrow of it all for the likenesse of Christ can no more be made by any no more then bread naturall can be converted into his body by any seeing he is the expresse Image of his Father and never bare any other But say you generally it puts us in mind which plainly shews that ye are of those who forget God David said The wicked should be turned into Hell and all who forget God Consider you who say you must have a dead Image to put you in mind of the living Christ and also this sheweth that ye have not the mind of Christ as the Christians had Friends in this the day of tryal you are found bare naked and miserable therefore be warned that you may all come to the Light which is the dore the way the truth and the life and no man can come to the Father but by him even Christ Jesus who is the Light of the world which enlightneth every man that cometh into the world who is the only dore and way to God and whosoever goeth about to enter any other way but by the Light the same is a thief and a robber as saith Christ who is the Covenant of God to all mankind upon the face of the whole earth and to this end came he into the world that through him all might believe and whosoever doth out of his belly shall flow a River of living water which is beyond all Naturals which can alone be seen handled and tasted by the Spiritual and whosoever comes to be sensible of its pure streams will for ever delight to drink thereof there being satisfaction therein only which my soul knoweth right well therefore am I drawn forth in the same wherewith the Lord hath loved me to invite many that they may eat and drink that which my Father hath provided for many even for those who are strangers and straglers in the high-wayes and hedges for a banquet hath my God prepared and hath and is sending out his Servants to invite and bid many but many already have made their excuses
