FRIENDS HISTORICAL LIBRARY SWARTHMORE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Swarthmore Hall FOR WHATSOEVER THINGS WERE WRITTEN AFORETIME WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING A DECLARATION TO ALL THE WORLD OF Our Faith And what we Believe who are called QUAKERS AND This is written that all People upon Earth may know by whom and how we are Saved and hope for Eternal Life And what we Believe concerning God Christ and the Spirit and of the things that are Eternal appertaining to all Man-kind to know and Believe Also what MINISTERS and MAGISTRATES we own and what and whom we deny London Printed for Robert Wilson Concerning God Christ and the Spirit thus we Believe FIrst That there is only one true God who is a Spirit and his Presence filleth Heaven and Earth and he is Eternal and Everlasting the Creator and Preserver of all things that Heaven and Earth and all things therein by Him were framed and brought forth and all things remain unto this day by his Power and whatsoever he willeth in Heaven and Earth he brings to pass by his Word Power And we Believe that this God only is ought to be Feared Loved Obeyed Worshiped by all Creatures and no other thing besides him in Heaven and Earth And we Believe that his Worship and Obedience and Fear and Love is to be given in Spirit even in what his own Spirit moveth and leadeth his people unto And we Believe his true Worship required and accepted of him is not by the Tradition of men in outward observances or set daies or places but he is Worshiped only in Spirit and Truth without respect of time places or things and that none can Worship him in Righteousness but his Children who are Born of his Spirit and are led and guided thereby And we Believe that this God hath given his Son Jesus Christ into the world a free gift unto the whole world and that every man that cometh into the world is lighted by Him that every man may believe and be saved And we Believe that he is given into the world no Nation Country or people excepted but to all mankind he is given of God and hath lightned them and every man through the world that believeth in and receiveth Christ who is the wisdom and Power of the Father shall be saved with Eternal Salvation And every one that believeth not in him shall be damned and shall possess everlasting misery And we Believe that Salvation Justification and Sanctification is only in Him wrought by Him and no other for there is no other Name given under Heaven but him alone by which Salvation is and we Believe all that receive Him and believe in Him are reconciled to God and are made alive to God to live to him in all things and do receive the forgiveness of Sins and are set free from all unrighteousness and from the body of sin and death and have the Witness of the Spirit in them and the Spirit of the Father they have received and it witnesseth in them of the Father and of the Son and of the things that belong to their Peace and it is the earnest of the Inheritance and the Seal of the Promise of Eternal Life and by it are the deep things of God revealed to mankind and by it the Father and the Son dwell in the Saints and by it they have fellowship one with another and the Father Son and Spirit are one And this we faithfully Believe Again concerning Christ we believe that he is one with the Father and was with him before the world was and what the Father worketh it is by his Son for he is the Arm of Gods Salvation and the very power and wisdom of the Creator and was is and is to come without beginning or end And we believe that all the Prophets gave testimony of Him and that he was made manifest in Judea and Jerusalem and did the work of the Father and was Persecuted of the Jews and was Crucified by his Enemies and that he was buried and rose again according to the Scriptures And we believe he is now ascended on high and exalted at the right hand of the Father for evermore And that he is glorifyed with the same glory that He had before the World was and that even the same that came down from Heaven is ascended up to Heaven and the same that descended is he that ascended And we believe Even he that was dead is alive and lives for evermore and that he cometh and shall come again to Judge the whole world with Righteousness and all people with equity and shall give to every man according to his deeds at the day of Judgement when all shall arise to Condemnation or Justification he that hath done good shall receive life and he that hath done evil everlasting condemnation And we believe he is to be waited for in Spirit to be known after the spirit as he was before the world was and that is the knowledge unto eternal Life which all that believe in Him doth receive and he subdues death and destroyes him that hath the power of it and restoreth from Death to Life and quickneth by his Spirit all that the Father hath given Him and we believe such he justifieth and sanctifieth and such are taught of him but he condemns all that believe not and continue in unbelief and are not taught of him And this we faithfully Believe And we believe that unto all people upon the face of the whole earth is a time and day of visitation given that they may return and be saved by Jesus Christ who is given of the Father to call the worst of men to repentance and the most ungodly of sinners are convinced by Him of their ungodly deeds that they might believe and be converted and saved And we believe herein is the love of God manifested to all mankind and that none is shut out by him before they were born into the world But unto all men is a visitation given and they that do perish it is because they do not believe in Christ and destruction is of a mans self but salvation is of God through believing in his Son who takes away sin and reneweth into his own Image that they may become heirs with him And we believe that there is a Crown of Eternal Glory and an Inheritance of Eternal Life to be enjoyed for evermore by all that believe and are chosen of God And that there is an everlasting misery and destruction to be possessed by all that believe not but continue in the state of Reprobation and are not changed from the ways of sin and death but walk after the ways of their own hearts lusts fulfilling the will of the flesh in the evil of this world and follow not Christ the Light of the World that they may be saved and we believe upon all such the Wrath of God abideth and that they have no part in the Inheritance of God And we believe that it is only

he that is born again of the Spirit and that walks after the Spirit who is changed from death to life and who is redeemed out of the world and all its wayes such only must inherit the kingdom of God and they only have right thereunto and none besides even they that are washed and cleansed from all unrighteousness by the Blood of Jesus by which their sins are Remitted for his Blood cleanseth them from all unrighteousness and sin all such as walk and abide in the Light which Christ Jesus hath lightned the world withal And we believe that the Saints upon earth may receive forgiveness of sins and may be perfectly freed from the body of sin and death and in Christ may be perfected and without sin and may have victory over all temptations by Faith in Christ Jesus And we believe every Saint that is called of God ought to press after perfection and to overcome the Devil and all his temptations upon Earth and we believe they that faithfully wait for it shall obtain it and shall be presented without sin in the Image of the Father and such walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit and are in Covenant with God and their sins are blotted out and remembred no more for they cease to commit sin being born of the Seed of God And we believe the Gospel of Christ is the Power of God unto Salvation and that it ought to be Preached freely unto all people and Christ to be held forth to all Man-kind by the Ministry sent of him And we believe this Ministry is received by the gift of the Holy Ghost and all they that receive it are lawfully called to the Ministry and they may Preach the Gospel of Christ freely as they have received it freely and this Ministry is not of man but of God and is made powerful to the converting of sinners and to the bringing of people to God and to the knowledge of his waies And we do not believe that any man is a Minister of Christ without the gift of the Holy Ghost or that the Gospel can be received by natural learning or education And we believe such as preach for hire and have hire for preaching are not the lawful called Ministers of the Gospel of Christ such as are proud and high-minded and covetous men who do not profit the people at all such as have run but never were sent of Christ who calleth by his Spirit into the work of the Ministrie and as every one hath received the gift of that his Spirit so he may administer to others Concerning Rulers and Governours we believe that there ought to be Rulers and Governors in every Nation City Country or Town and they ought to be such men as fear God and hateth every evil way who will judge for God and not for man and will judge righteously equally and justly and will give true and sound judgment unto all men without bribery or respect of persons not regarding the rich above the poor but being a praise unto all that do well and a terrour to all evil doers whatsoever having knowledg in the pure Law of God and themselves continually exercised therein And we believe that every Law of man ought to be grounded upon the Law of God pure reason and equity being the foundation thereof that God's witness in every man may answer to it and the Law ought to be known unto all people before transgression be charged or punished in any man And we believe that every transgression ought to be punished according to its nature and that the punishment exceed not the greatness of the Transgression neither ought any Transgressor to escape unpunished neither ought any upon false suspition or jealousie to be caused to suffer without the Testimony of true men or the confession of the party And we believe that the Executors of the Law ought to be just men and not given to Pride Drunkenness or any other evil whatsoever And we believe that all Governours and Rulers ought to be accountable to the people and to the next succeeding Rulers for all their actions which may be enquired into upon occasion and that the chiefest of the Rulers be subject under the Law and punishable by it if they be Transgressors as well as the poorest of the people And thus true Judgment and Justice will be brought forth in the earth and all that do well will have praise and live in rest and peace and all evil doers whatsoever may stand in awe and be afraid of God and just Men and the Execution of good Laws Concerning Religion We believe that it is only the Spirit of the Lord that makes men truly Religious and that no man ought to be compelled to or from any exercise or practice in Religion by any outward Law or Power but every man ought to be left free as the Lord shall perswade his own mind in doing or leaving undone this or the other practise in Religion and every man of what profession in Religion soever ought to be protected in peace provided himself be a man of peace not seeking the wrong of any mans person or estate And we believe that to reprove false Opinions and unsound Doctrines and Principles seeking to convince them that oppose themselves by exhortation or sharp reproof by word or writing ought not to be counted a breach of the Peace and to strive about the things of the Kingdom of God by men of contrary minds or judgments this ought not to be punishable by the Magistrates and their Laws for we believe that the outward law and powers of the earth is only to preserve mens persons and estates and not to preserve men in Opinions neither ought the law of the Nation to be laid upon mens Consciences to bind them to or from such a judgment or practise in Religion And we believe that Christ is and ought onely to be the Lord and Exerciser of mens Consciences and his Spirit only must lead into all Truth And we believe that obedience and subjection in the Lord belongs to Superiors and that Subjects ought to obey them in the Lord that have rule over them and that Children ought to obey their Parents and Wives their Husbands and Servants their Masters in all things which is according to God which stands in the exercise of a pure conscience towards God but where Rulers Parents or Masters or any other commandeth or requireth subjection in any thing which is contrary to God or not according to him in such causes all people are free and ought to obey God rather than man and we believe that herein God will justify them being guided and led by his Spirit in all that which is good and out of all that which is evil Again we believe concerning Election and Reprobation that there is a state of Election and state of Reprobation a state chosen of God and a state rejected of God and that all mankind are in one of these
