A84771	Concerning good-morrow, and good-even; the worlds customs: but by the light which into the world is come, by it made manifest to all who be in the darkness. G.F.	Fox, George, 1624-1691.	1657 (1657)	Wing F1766; Thomason E910_13; ESTC R207522	14,726	18

wronging and killing the innocent and just such whose tongues speak guile and whose lips are perverse who works iniquity and drinks it up as an Ox drinks water and are in the unbelief who believes not in the Light that enlightneth every one that cometh into the world but their Tongues are at liberty such the way of peace you know not nor the day Now for you that be there to wish another the good day you speak that you know not but we speak what we know and have seen who are turned from the darkness to light from the power of Satan unto God who can say The night is over and the day is come therefore such as are here doth the good day witness that all might come to the Light and so come to this good day and good morning But you that do come to this good day and good morning you must forsake the evil and the power of Satan and the darkness and so turned from the darkness then you are turned from the evil day and turned to the light then you 'l come to witness the Father and the Son to which is said God speed Now you that say you wish one another a good day who be in the evil day when God crosseth your expectation and crosseth your wills and you cannot attain your ends you 'l say then what a sad day you have had So you cannot wish a good day while you be in the evil day till you be turned to the Light for if you wish a good day with that which acts in the evil your wishes are vain but they that are turned to the light that enlightens every one that cometh into the world comes to see the good morning and the good Evening these are turned from Satans power and Satan to God where he is kept out of and appears not in the day And so these that are here do desire that every one might come to the good day from the evil and his day from the Power of Satan to the light for every one being enlightned with the Light that comes from Christ Jesus the Saviour of your souls being turned to the Light you are turned to the Father of Light where there is no shadow of changing being turned to the Light they are turned to the day Now who be from the Light be in the darkness under Satans power these be in the evil day which is evil day to them which to them is evil day and none come to the good morning and to the good day but such as come to the Light and then these come to see the works of the Lord praise him yea the Sun and the Moon praise him the Stars praise him the Sun to rule the day and the Moon to rule the night and these praise him and this day is good and the night good too but he that is from the Light is in the Darkness under the power of the devil under his power it is his day they are in And the Just suffers where the power of Darkness rules but now the Just shall rule and doth rule over the Power of Darkness and over the evil and his day And again they that be in darkness and the evilday and out of the Light not turned to it these that be here when foul weather comes that crosseth them rainy weather say they What an ill day is this what a bad day is this when such a day comes cross to their wills And when fair Weather come that is hot Weather very hot say they What a bad day is this And again when Snow and cold Weather comes What a bad cold day is this or rainy slobby Weather What an ill day is this Likewise when hot sultry as you call it Weather comes hot close misty weather What an ill day is this say they And likewise Evening and Night when great showers come in the Night What an ill Night is this say they when that Snow or Rain great Floods or Frost that is in danger of taking away their Cattel or flowing over their Corn What an ill Night is this say they it they will say good Night to one another and it they will say an ill Night presently afterwards and say a good morning one to another or a good day and it they will say What a bad day is this or a bad morning and here is their confusion and it they will say a good Evening one to another and it they will say a bad one with the same mouth And here they call good evil when the Weather is cold and frost this is good and Snow and Rain is good and all praiseth God and is good and this they call ill an ill day or ill night this is their custom shewing they are in the evil who call the good evil and thus they are never content either too hot or too cold too much snow or frost or too sultry or no rain or too much rain and here stand they that be out of the light in the discontent who be in the evil day not turned to the light but yet remains in darkness but such as are turned to the Light which comes from him who is the Heir of all things which upholds all things by his word and power these come to see how all the works of the Lord praise him his works praise him day and night praise him Summer and Winter praise him Ice and Cold and Snow praise him and that is the bad and evil that calls them evil and for rebuke reproof judgement Seed-time and Harvest praise him and all things that are created praise him This is the Language of them who learn of him hear him that is Heir of all things who upholds all things by his Word and Power by whom all things was made and by whom all things was created for him and to him that above all things he might have the preheminence And these that be here they do not call evil good and good evil but that which is out of the Light is in the evil that which is out of the Light is our of the Truth for the Light is the Truth and the Light is the day or leads to the day but to these that be in the darkness the morning to them is death And to them that work iniquity abhor the Light and doth evil the Light to them and the Day to them is as a shadow of death for such the Light cannot endure for to them it is their condemnation And to you this is the Word of the Lord God which shall answer the Light in every ones conscience for from the Word the Light comes and the entrance of the Word giveth Light And here all may see who are turned to the Light the good Day the good Morning and the Night which God made who saw it was good and the evil day who is out of Truth the evil and his day is out of Truth where the works are done that are not good but

the evil deeds be not you partakers of them are not you contrary to the Apostles Doctrine and they have not the Father and the Son that are doing the works of the Devil And to you that be not satisfied with these things before mentioned some Queries I shall give you to answer Query I. HAth he the Father and the Son that is doing the works of the Devil and his works not destroyed yet and was not the Son manifested to destroy these works and is he to have God speed said to him that is in the Devils work now if you say VVho is out of them Such in whom Christ is manifested who are the children of the day who witness the Father and the Son to whom the God speed is spoken Query II. VVhat is the evil day is not the murder and the wickedness acted in that day Hath not Cozeners Cheaters Deceivers Oppressors Persecutors Adulterers and VVhoremongers Swearers and Drunkards this day Is not the righteous sad when this day approacheth and can the righteous say to such they have a good Morning that these that be in the evil day have a good Morning without calling evil good Query III. And have not all that work wickedness Sorcery and VVitchcrast and them that do oppress one another and wrong the innocent and thieve and cozen one another have not they this evil day And when they begin to work this to work wickedness doth not their day approach Is this day good morning or he that leadeth his life in this manner in wickedness coming to the evil day coming toward the end of it is that a good Evening Query IV. And doth them that live in wickedness in this evil day regard the time that is in the Fathers hand Doth not them that live in the evil day the day of the evil destroy the handy works of God And are not those that destroy the handy works of God are not their works evil And what must it be said God speed to their works and them in the night Query V. And are they not all yet doing the works of darkness that are not turned to the Light and yet under the power of Satan And is there any that be under the power of Satan in the darkness doing the works of God and is any to be said God speed to but such who are doing his works and are they that have the Father and the Son and are come out of the evil and out of darkness into the marvelous Light Query VI. And what is it to speak idle words is it not to speak words out of their service and place and is it not that which is spoken cut of its place out of its service idle and must there not account be given for them in the day of Judgement of every idle word Query VII Is not the ground and root of all idle words from him who abode not in the truth And is not that evil that leadeth into the vanity into bondage the creature into bondage under the corruption is not the light the truth and doth not that make free from the bondage of corruption and brings to speak words that he shall not be judged for them in their service and in their place which are not idle is not all the idle words that must be given account for in the Day of Judgement out of the truth and from them that serves him who is out of the truth So ye who say your Tongues are your own you ought to speak that are not satisfied in the things before mentioned answer these Queries and let not the polluted lips utter forth words without the true understanding let not your evil communication corrupt your good manners but come to the witness of God in you that you may know the bridle that whereby the love may be known without dissimulation and your words known without hypocrisie whose lips speak righteously in whose mouth there is no guile the lying tongue hath been beheld and the polluted lips heard to utter the Hypocrisie crying Ha ha our tongue is our own these so hath said God speed your work with the same tongue said He do him a mischief and which hath said Good Morrow a good Morning or a good Evening with the same tongue fell a railing and lift up his hands full of blood to destroy him and yet saith to him Good Morning may be in his heart to steal his Cattel or rob him or do him a mischief or cozen him or cheat him covering his goods and yet tell him its a good Evening can the other say that is out of Truth this is the good day the good morning the good evening is not this the evil day and the evil works that be out of Truth which works are to be destroyed and not to it to be said God speed is it not their works who be in the evil day to consume to destroy the handy works of God and are these works to be said God speed to Or is not Gods hand turned against such whose work it is to destroy Gods handy works And is not the Nation and hath not the Nation been full of these that hath not regarded his handy works neither seen time and seasons in his hand neither is known the bit nor the bridle but their Tongue hath uttered perverse things and lying vanities and men seek after lyes who be out of the Truth and the Light and they make lyes their refuge God is not their refuge but their lyes Blessed is the man whose God is the Lord whose resuge he is for he will sweep away all the refuge of lyes saith the Lord and the Lord having swept away the refuge of lyes that he alone may reign and be the refuge of his people These are they that abhors the Light mark they that do abhor the Light they know not the way thereof nor continue in the path thereof mark the path of the Light these are the Murderers that kills and the greedy who thieve in the night and the eye of the Adulterer who waits for the twi-light and saith No eye can see me and these disguise their faces mark They dig through Houses in the dark which they mark for themselves in the day they know not the Light mark it s a Day they know not they know not the Light nor the path of it but abhor it but the Morning is Evening to them as the shadow of death if one know them they are in the terror of the shadow of death mark and take notice of this VVho continue in the path of the Light Job 24. Now if you say you wish the good day or the good evening to every one and you your selves be in the evil day and the approaching of it and in the works of darkness in the Night swallowed up in it how can you wish the good day who delight in sports delight in pleasures delight in covetousness delight in vain jesting whose mouths are filled with reproaches who are
