A90402	A voyce out of the thick darkness: containing in it a few words to Christians, about the late and present posture of spiritual affairs among them. Together with a post-script about darkening the counsel of God. As also, certain Scripture-prophecies concerning some transactions in the latter times. / By Isaac Penington, (junior) Esq;.

or_o no_o lie_v not_o in_o i_o to_o resolve_v this_o be_v all_o i_o have_v to_o say_v concerning_o they_o that_o i_o find_v they_o in_o my_o own_o spirit_n and_o i_o find_v my_o spirit_n much_o compose_v by_o they_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o several_a toss_n and_o tumble_n that_o have_v be_v they_o lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n there_o from_o whence_o i_o produce_v they_o into_o public_a view_n not_o know_v but_o they_o may_v drop_v and_o distil_v into_o some_o other_o spirit_n to_o bring_v it_o also_o to_o some_o kind_n of_o rest_n in_o this_o respect_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o such_o future_a shake_n as_o be_v very_o incident_a and_o frequent_a after_o dissettlement_n about_o the_o same_o time_n the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v present_v to_o my_o view_n and_o i_o behold_v the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o their_o several_a station_n some_o scatter_v this_o way_n some_o that_o way_n some_o settle_v this_o way_n some_o that_o way_n some_o bewail_v themselves_o under_o their_o scatter_n other_o bless_v themselves_o in_o their_o settle_n some_o seek_v and_o other_o glory_v in_o what_o they_o imagine_v they_o have_v find_v some_o complain_n of_o the_o breach_n grow_v great_a and_o more_o spiritual_a other_o cry_v out_o as_o fast_o that_o their_o antidote_n plaster_n and_o art_n of_o heal_a which_o will_v easy_o help_v all_o be_v not_o embrace_v i_o find_v my_o spirit_n likewise_o draw_v out_o to_o speak_v a_o little_a concerning_o this_o state_n of_o thing_n as_o i_o feel_v the_o sense_n of_o they_o then_o upon_o i_o and_o as_o i_o find_v it_o most_o ready_a and_o convenient_a to_o communicate_v that_o sense_n which_o though_o i_o have_v intend_v to_o wave_v also_o yet_o find_v the_o state_n of_o thing_n call_v for_o some_o such_o kind_n of_o language_n to_o invite_v to_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a consideration_n of_o they_o i_o find_v myself_o willing_a to_o let_v it_o go_v forth_o as_o a_o instrument_n in_o his_o hand_n who_o know_v how_o to_o manage_v it_o to_o effect_v what_o he_o please_v by_o it_o this_o be_v the_o account_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v by_o way_n of_o preface_n to_o lead_v to_o the_o discourse_n itself_o which_o now_o follow_v a_o few_o word_n to_o christian_n about_o the_o late_a and_o present_a posture_n of_o spiritual_a affair_n among_o they_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o civil_a part_n of_o this_o nation_n that_o lie_v under_o misery_n and_o oppression_n before_o this_o great_a commotion_n but_o religion_n also_o and_o the_o religious_a party_n have_v a_o deep_a share_n in_o it_o be_v most_o of_o all_o tread_v under_o foot_n that_o present_a form_n of_o government_n which_o then_o be_v in_o force_n strike_v at_o the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o that_o which_o it_o be_v erect_v to_o be_v a_o wall_n unto_o nor_o do_v only_o the_o sweetness_n of_o liberty_n and_o propriety_n put_v man_n that_o be_v sensible_a thereof_o upon_o strive_v to_o regain_v and_o possess_v they_o but_o the_o preciousness_n of_o freedom_n to_o conscience_n tender_a conscience_n which_o have_v be_v so_o long_o yoke_v and_o burden_v do_v much_o instigate_v christian_n to_o assay_v the_o recovery_n and_o re-enjoyment_n of_o it_o and_o the_o result_n have_v be_v much_o alike_o to_o both_o both_o have_v be_v bury_v in_o the_o dust_n of_o contention_n and_o confusion_n the_o contention_n have_v grow_v so_o hot_a that_o man_n have_v almost_o forget_v what_o they_o contend_v for_o in_o both_o which_o at_o first_o be_v not_o a_o power_n to_o oppress_v and_o captive_a other_o but_o to_o attain_v liberty_n for_o themselves_o and_o other_o it_o be_v to_o you_o o_o christian_n that_o i_o intend_v a_o few_o word_n to_o which_o i_o hasten_v and_o that_o concerning_o your_o choice_a jewel_n religion_n in_o what_o state_n be_v it_o in_o what_o state_n have_v it_o be_v have_v it_o thrive_v or_o decay_v be_v it_o alive_a or_o dead_a who_o do_v you_o embrace_v in_o your_o bosom_n your_o true_a love_n or_o a_o stranger_n what_o be_v your_o religion_n of_o the_o right_a coin_n have_v it_o the_o stamp_n of_o your_o king_n or_o be_v it_o counterfeit_v true_o there_o be_v so_o many_o different_a pretender_n stand_v up_o to_o lay_v claim_n to_o he_o who_o belong_v but_o to_o one_o his_o own_o spouse_n as_o he_o be_v but_o one_o his_o light_a one_o his_o will_n one_o his_o way_n one_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o infinite_a variety_n and_o contrariety_n that_o he_o have_v need_n have_v infallible_a certainty_n who_o satisfy_v his_o spirit_n with_o his_o interest_n in_o he_o but_o i_o will_v speak_v but_o little_a to_o you_o i_o will_v therefore_o come_v to_o those_o few_o question_n i_o have_v to_o propose_v to_o your_o consideration_n concerning_o the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o many_o change_n it_o have_v under-go_v and_o the_o present_a condition_n wherein_o it_o stand_v the_o first_o whereof_o may_v be_v this_o 1._o whether_o religion_n have_v not_o receive_v a_o wound_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o it_o since_o this_o contestation_n about_o outward_a thing_n and_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o religion_n whether_o the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o religion_n which_o be_v always_o scanty_a enough_o among_o the_o best_a be_v not_o now_o much_o abate_v and_o run_v not_o so_o low_a that_o it_o be_v hardly_o if_o at_o all_o discernible_a it_o have_v be_v the_o complaint_n of_o divers_a both_o presbyterian_n and_o independent_n and_o therefore_o may_v well_o deserve_v the_o consideration_n of_o each_o sort_n o_o christian_n be_v not_o so_o busy_a about_o the_o outward_a part_n about_o the_o dress_n of_o religion_n as_o not_o to_o inquire_v into_o the_o state_n of_o the_o inward_a part_n whether_o that_o flourish_n or_o languish_v and_o decay_v 2._o if_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o you_o that_o religion_n have_v receive_v a_o blow_n within_o a_o wound_n at_o heart_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o in_o the_o second_o place_n whether_o it_o do_v not_o near_o concern_v you_o to_o bethink_v yourselves_o how_o it_o may_v be_v cure_v in_o time_n before_o it_o bleed_v to_o death_n thou_o be_v busy_v o_o christian_a about_o garment_n of_o religion_n for_o thyself_o and_o other_o to_o wear_v look_v within_o man_n thy_o heart_n faint_v thy_o life_n be_v expire_a thy_o faith_n be_v even_o dead_a thou_o can_v not_o trust_v god_n but_o run_v to_o thy_o own_o wisdom_n to_o contrive_v for_o thyself_o and_o to_o thy_o own_o power_n to_o effect_v thy_o counsel_n thy_o love_n what_o be_v become_v of_o it_o o_o what_o a_o strange_a thing_n be_v love_n among_o christian_n patience_n humility_n meekness_n of_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n where_o do_v they_o grow_v what_o be_v there_o of_o these_o leave_v within_o in_o the_o heart_n when_o there_o be_v such_o a_o general_a complaint_n that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o life_n of_o professor_n 3._o let_v i_o ask_v thou_o in_o the_o three_o place_n whether_o the_o establishment_n of_o or_o voluntary_a submission_n to_o any_o outward_a form_n of_o government_n or_o church-discipline_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o can_v heal_v this_o breach_n within_o will_v presbytery_n do_v it_o why_o do_v it_o not_o do_v it_o in_o scotland_n where_o it_o have_v scope_n and_o power_n enough_o will_v independency_n or_o anabaptism_n do_v it_o how_o come_v so_o many_o then_o to_o lose_v the_o life_n of_o their_o spirit_n in_o such_o relation_n the_o form_n do_v seldom_o contribute_v much_o to_o the_o power_n but_o the_o power_n be_v very_o common_o eat_v out_o by_o the_o form_n i_o know_v man_n that_o be_v engage_v much_o to_o any_o way_n be_v high_o conceit_v of_o it_o think_v it_o will_v effect_v strange_a thing_n if_o it_o be_v but_o general_o own_v and_o embrace_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o impute_v all_o miscarriage_n and_o bad_a effect_n to_o the_o want_n thereof_o but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o favourable_a and_o selfish_a judgement_n i_o propose_v this_o question_n to_o thou_o to_o consider_v and_o ponder_v of_o till_o thou_o be_v enable_v to_o pass_v a_o righteous_a judgement_n upon_o it_o and_o then_o perhaps_o thou_o will_v be_v as_o ready_a to_o condemn_v thou_o own_o form_n and_o way_n of_o administration_n in_o this_o behalf_n as_o thou_o be_v to_o condemn_v such_o other_o way_n as_o thou_o now_o oppose_v 4._o let_v i_o ask_v thou_o yet_o again_o whence_o this_o cure_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v and_o can_v alone_o be_v have_v from_o whence_o do_v any_o true_a life_n and_o power_n flow_v at_o first_o and_o whither_o be_v it_o now_o retire_v who_o be_v it_o that_o have_v wound_v can_v he_o heal_v can_v any_o else_o but_o he_o heal_v who_o be_v it_o that_o have_v shake_v the_o
