THE TRUE LIGHT Hath made manifest DARKNESSE OR Sion builded up and Babylon cast downe WITH A true Answer of what the Baptist Teachers objected against the Servant of the Lord who in scorn is called a Quaker and known to the world by the name of Iohn Moon in several places in VVales both in Radnorshire and Brecknockshire whose names are these Hugh Evans John Price Daniel Penry Reese Davies John Prosser Evans Oliver and Vavasor Powel who are called Ministers of the Gospel but are found to be enemies to it Joel 2 10. The Lord is uttering his voyce out of holy Sion and saith the earth shall quake before them and the heavens shall tremble Psal 2. 11. Serve the Lord with fear and rejoyce with trembling Some of Vavasor Powel's doctrine tryed and made manifest by the Light And also some Queries given forth and are to be answered by them that lives in observations This is given forth by me who is a lover of the Truth and known to the world by this name John Moone London Printed for G. Calvert at the black Spread-Eagle neer the West end of Pauls 1657. The true Light hath made manifest Darknesse c. NOW is the day wherein the Lord God is making manifest his love in the hearts of his people to the discovering the deceit of the heart and makes manifest unto man the false way of Worship and to the discovering of all rotten profession which many do boast in and this love is that which thinks none ill which is that light which shines in darkness and if man will but hearken unto it and obey it it will lead man out of the wayes of darkness into the way of light and life And herein man will come to know and possess that which the world professes now he that would know the way unto life must first know that light which shines in darkness to be the Judge and Condemner of his evil deeds for all them that will not come to the light to be tryed their deeds are evil and these are them that profess that with their tongues which their souls never did possess and these are them by whom the way of God is evil spoken of Therefore hold not thy peace O God but arise and plead the cause of thy children and make all the ungodly to know that thou art a righteous Judge and that by thy eternal Word the mouth of the Wicked may be stopped and all them who are gainsayers of the Truth may be confounded and that thou by thy own Work O Lord may be praised and glorified for evermore This is in love to all you who would know the Truth as it is in Jesus and who has a desire to know true possession from the rotten profession which stands in observations who are by the children of God known to be the uncircumcised Philistines And as the servant of the Lord was declaring the Word of the Lord to the people and said Christ lighteth every man that cometh into the World and it is by that light which man is to be lead out of darkness And one of the Baptists called Hugh Evans said That the true Light shineth but in some and not in all He was demanded to prove it but could not This I say That the true Light is that which lighteth every one as saith the Scripture That was the true Light John 1. 9. which lighteth every man that cometh into the world Now see how contrary to the Scripture he doth speak that would make John a false Witness and the Scripture to be a lye which saith Light shines in darkness and darkness comprehends it not Now every one consider that readeth and see John 1. 5. if ye can finde in all the Scripture if it doth declare of any other but the Righteous and the Wicked Light and Darkness the strait Way and the broad Way the one is the Way to life and the other unto death Now every one that knovvs that Way which leads unto death it is the light that shews it him and if he will hearken to the Light it will shevv him vvhat wilhe should deny and vvhat cross to bear and through the denial of his ovvn vvill the cross he vvill come to knovv vvhich daily should be born and then he vvill come to knovv it to be the povver of God unto salvation And if man doth not deny that vvill vvhich leads into iniquity it is that vvill vvhich stumbles at the cross counts it foolishness but these are them vvhich perish and talks of the Cross but knovvs it not nor the power of God but are found Enemies to it and these are them who saith Christ hath given light unto some and not to all and herein they vvould make Christ to be a respector of persons If ye have James 2. 9. respect to persons ye commit sin and are convinced of the Law as a Transgressor Now this I say That Christ hath respect Acts 10. 34. to no mans person as saith the Apostle Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of persons now here every one that reads may see their confused Language and may see that those are them who speaks contrary to the Scripture and all these who would know life must believe in the Son of God who is the light which shines in darkness vvhich is the condemnation of the vvicked as the Scripture doth declare This is the condemnation That Light is come into the world and John 3. 19. men loved darkness rather then Light because their deeds were evil for every one that doth evil hateth the light but he that doth truth cometh to the Light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God and here it shews but of two the one his deeds were evil and he hateth the Light and the other he loveth the Light and brought his deeds to the Light Now herein he that reads may see that the Professors do say that the Light shines unto them but not to others and herein it doth appear by their own words that their Profession is darkness Now this I say That the light shines to the prophane and to them that sits in darkness as the Scripture beareth witness God gave his only Son a light Luke 8. 79. to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death And also the same man said That Christ and his spirit were distinct I say That they are one and not distinct Christ is the life and the Spirit is life because of Righteousness Now see Rom. 8. 20. where is the distinction for the Scripture declares that the John 17 21. Father and the Son are one as you may read That they all may be one as thou Father art in me and I in thee that they also Ver. 22. may be one in us that the world may believe that thou hast sent me and the glory which thou gavest me I have given them that

vvouldest not have brought this Scripture for there is not a just man upon earth that doeth good and sinneth not But herein thou hast made thy selfe more manifest that sayest There is not a just man thou hast long been learning of the unjust if thou hadst but known or confest that Christ is come into the world thou wouldest have hid thy error and thy profession would have seemed more glorious but thou saying There is not one that doth good and sinneth not thou hast denyed that Christ is come into the world and herein thou art made manifest to be a Minister of Antichrist which upholds sin and thou pleading for thy masters kingdom for if thou hadst known the Gospel of Christ thou wouldest not have said There is none that doth good for it is the Gospel of Christ which doth good and as many as believe in it shall be saved But thou art far from knowing this Gospel or learning of it now see where thou and thy professors have been learning all this while who saith There is none doth good and sinneth not thou and thy professors are far from witnessing this Scripture and Heb. 8. 11. they shall not need to teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for all shall know me Ver. 12 from the least to the greatest for I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sinns and their iniquities will I Heb. 20. 14. remember no more saith the Lord For by one offering he hath pefected for ever them that are sanctified Now all people that read may see how contrary to the Scripture Powel hath spoken that saith He that is sanctified doth commit sin and the Scripture saith he that is sanctified is perfected for ever and this is to let you see his blindness who is the blind guide Now I am Come to his Third Error Thou Vavaser Powel who saist that the children of God went into sin and commited sin and the Lord passed by them and did not reprove them Answ Then Iohn Moone answered and said that God did convince and reprove them that commited sin and the Lord is no respecter of persons and he will not let the transgressors go unpunnished for you onely have I known of all the families of the earth therefore I will punnish you Amos 3. 2. for all your iniquities saith the Lord but thou who would'st have the Lord to reprove some and not others herein thou wouldst make him to be a respector of persons but this I say that the Lord came to execute judgement upon all and to convince all that are ungodly amongst them of all their ungodly deeds vvhich they have ungodly committed and of all their hard speeches vvhich they have spoken Jude 1. 15. against him Novv here I have made it appear by Scripture that the Lord convinces all and that he executes judgment upon all and they that commit sin are wicked but them vvho are the children of the Lord they knovv to bee born of the immortal seed vvhich the blessing is to and herein we know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one 2 Joh. 5. 18. toucheth him not but if thou hadst known that birth which is of God thou wouldst not have said that they committed sin but thou being ignorant of the new birth therefore thou art speaking evil of it and it serves thee to talk on and make a trade of it Novv Powel if thou vvert not blinde thou mightst see thy confused language and see that thy Ministery is contrary to the Apostles doctrine for their doctrine vvas for the perfecting Eph. 4. 12 13. of the Saints for the work of the Ministery for the edifying of the body of Christ till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man whom we preach warning every man and teaching every Gal. 1. 28. man in all wisdome that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus But Powel thy Ministery is to declare to the people to uphold sin and wickedness and tell them they must never be clean nor never to have power to keep them out of Sin but that they must commit sin and the Lord will pass by it And herein thou art striving vvith all thy might and povver to keep the people in their sinnes and that they shall never be free whilst they are upon earth but all people consider what life you live the same you must die and own that light which shews you what life you do live and what your works is and euery one is to receiue a reward according to his deeds and as long as you follow them that cries up sin you follow the ministers of AntiChrist and these are them that ran and the Lord sent them not and therefore they shall not Prophet my people at all saith the Lord and these are them who saith there is none that doth good and sinneth not but them who are sent of the Lord they know the just and him that doth good O how I love thy Law it is my meditation all the day and and thy Testimonies are wonderful therefore doth my soul keep them the entrance of thy word giveth light it giveth Psal 1 19. 96. v. understanding to the simple I have seen an end of all perfection blessed are they that keep his testimonies and that seek him with the whole heart they also do no iniquitie they Ver. 2 3. walke in his ways and trust in his name and these are the remnant of Jsrael they shal not do iniquitie nor speak lies Zeph. 3. 13. ver neither shal a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths for they shall feed and lie down in perfect peace and none shall make them
