from sin upon their owning of the light within and so cannot sin any more while they live in this flesh Ans The Scriptures are not forsaken by those who own the light but with the light the words are owned and all those denyed who talk of the good words and professe the Scriptures to be their rule but live not in the pure life but walk contrary to the Scriptures and as there is a waiting in the light there is a growth up from strength to strength and from glory to glory untill the perfect day But those who live in the flesh cannot prease God whose faith is not perfect but is reprobate concerning the faith of Christ and such cannot believe that ever they shall be made perfect or free from sin while they live upon the earth and without faith it is impossible to please God Qu. VIII VVhether or no the first Resurrection spoken of Revel 20.6 be in this life yea or nay And if it be whether hath all that walk by the light within them part in the first resurrection so soon as they own that light and if they have then whether or no is it not possible that they may forsake the light and walk in darknesse and so come to cast of the second death which they that come to partake of the first resurrection shall never cast of or is not the testimony of that place of Scripture true Answ Concerning the first resurrection spoken of Rev. 20.6 it is not in that life that thou lives in which gave forth these queries But those who dwelt in the light and were in the faith had passed from death to life and in the new life it is known which is in Christ Jesus who is the resurrection and the life on such the second death hath no power and such hath part in the first resurrection and are blessed But thou hast wronged the Scripture and so it shall be a witnesse against thee which testimony is true witnessed by the same spirit that gave forth the Scripture Qu. IX VVhether or no that body of flesh of Christ that suffered at Ierusalem upon the Cross which Joseph of Arithmathea begged of Pilate and buried in his own sepulchre rose again the 3. day after it was buried whether the same body of flesh be now glorified in Heaven with the Father These few Queries I have written unto you who are called by the name of Quakers I have not written them to any particular person of you but to whomsoever of you shall be free to give me an answer of them in particular in truth according to your understanding in them I have not written them in any intent but onely to be better informed in things wherein I am not informed in things wherein I am not satisfied from him who wisheth good to all and hurt to none Richard Stephens Answ In this query thou art disputing and querying about the body of Jesus as the devil disputed about the body of Moses But it is a mistery hid from all dark understandings who hate the light that comes from Jesus which is the eye that sees him who is invisible which all who love their evill deeds and hate the light never shall know nor see but are shut out and with the light condemned Thou must first own the light that shewes thee the body of sin and so pass through the death of the crosse whereby the body of sin is put of and crucified then shalt thou know with what body Christ is glorified in Heaven with the Father Godliness is a great mistery not known to the world nor to the earthly wisedom but the secrets of God are with them that fear him the spirit searcheth all things yea the deep and hidden things of God So in the fear of God I do exhort thee to return unto God and mind that principle of God in thee that reproves thee in secret for thy evill deeds there is thy Teacher if thou love it to guide thee to God but if thou hate it and live according to the course of this world it will be thy comdemnation Prize thy time while thou hast it VVritten by one who is a lover of all those that love the truth in simplicity and sincerity of heart who is known to the world by the name of Alexander Parker but hath a new name which the world knows not written in the Book of Life FINIS
