A89850	Satans design discovered: vvho under a pretence of worshipping Christs person in heaven, would exclude God and Christ, the spirit and light, out of the world: and that he should no more dwell in his people as he hath done, till Doomsday, that so he might rule in the hearts of men and women, unrevealed, while the world endures, onely under the name of God and Christ, talked of at a distance, that he may rule in the creation, exalted above God. Clearly laid open in an answer to Thomas Moor, who calls his book an Antidote against the spreading infections, &c. Wherein is discovered the crooked ways the winding Serpent takes to save his head, and reproach the truth with lies, that by any means he might make people believe that a lying spirit is among the Quakers, but is found within him. With 48. lies, taken out from three times as many, and sent back to be proved by the founder of them, T.M.

upon pain of imprisonment and that without any limit of time yea many for but looking at you and not speaking a word such is the strength of your weapons which in the Ministers of his spirit was mighty through Christ and needed not Clubs and Prisons to defend it so look upon your work and weigh it with truth and the Saints practice and see how they agree for no further are you his Ministers then you can own the Saints life though you can change their words to your wills yet their lives you cannot and by that you must be tryed And seeing it is the great work in these dayes to separate Christ and his light word and spirit as far as the Heavens and the Earth never to come neerer till the end of the world and thou scofs at infallibility calls perfection a Doctrine of Devils and pleads for sin while men lives and much such like Doctrine against Christ I shall lay down these particulars following as I have received them from the Lord which through the strength of God I shall stand by against thee and all thy Generation that shall oppose your selves 1. That the light of Christ is the first principle that shews a man his condition and leads to Christ the Saviour and without it the Gospel is hid from every Creature living and without it none can read with profit 2. That though Christ Jesus in himself hath suffered and satisfied the whole will of God for all the world yet none but who by faith in this comes to receive a measure of the same Christ in the same spirit and power and life in them can have redemption by him from sin and death 3. That the word of God is spiritual and who hath it hath it in their heart and that none who hath it not in their hearts hath eternal life though they may have the letter as the Devil hath to pervert to wrong ends to plead for sin and tempt the sons of God 4. That none can understand the Scriptures nor know the voice of Christ in them but who have that spirit and light in them that gave them forth to open their understanding to know the mystery and life of them 5. That no man knowes his own heart but who first owns the light of Christ to search it and the same light that searches the heart gives light to know God and his glory 6. That the least measure of living faith that is not a fancy but stands in Christ Jesus is present power against all sin and the greatest power of Satan if the Creature abide faithful in it and run to no other helps but minde obedience in it 7. That no man can be a Minister of Christ nor preach him truly but who preacheth perfection and that is the end of his Ministry which thou calls a Doctrine of Devills 8. That there is not one particular of the worship you perform in your high places but it is added or altered from what it was when Christ appointed it and established it 9. That God and his word is now manifest in the bodies of his Saints in the same manner and as freely as formerly he hath been and that there he is a sufficient Teacher and shield against sin without any other help to all according to the measure of their knowledge of him present 10. That no man can receive the things of Gods spirit but who minde somewhat of God in them to receive it withall 11. That the least measure of Gods spirit is an infallible guide and without it no man knowes Christ nor can judge of any thing of God or his truth his Kingdom or the way to it or the Devil and his subtleties but lies open to be deceived in all things and to be led by men of corrupt mindes in whom the Devil is 12. That the ground of all Errors Sects and Opinions Heresies and blasphemies that are in the world is in being led from the guidance of this spirit and all live in error but who are guided by it but none ever errs who was guided by it alone nor ever shall These being the main things for which thou accuses us in thy Book having wrested them contrary to our judgement and practice thereby to darken the way of truth more dear to me then life to the end that all may finde it and rest to their souls I have laid them down as plain as I can as they are in Iesus in me revealed without any adding or diminishing as in the fight of God so when thou writes to oppose again let it be plain to the people whether thou owns of denies so the difference may be judged with the truly wise in heart and the ground of it and do not cast a mist over the truth as in thy book and yet dare neither own nor deny but secretly bite and devoure Also prove these lying slanders cast upon us or blame me not for calling them lies and discovering the father thereof Thou hast plowed wickedness and reaped iniquity and hast eaten the fruit of lies THE END ERRATA Page 3. line 13. for sties read stirs p. 21. l. 31. for our mouthes read your mouths p. 26. l. 5. for he acknowledgeth read be a Knowledge Page 52 line 3 for sent read silence and line 9 of the same Page for buglary read burglary

The annointing that you have received abideth in you And you need not that any man teach you but as the same annointing teacheth you of all things and is Truth and is no Lie and even as it hath taught you you shall abide in him And this thou shamest not to wrest That they need no man teach them that teacheth otherwise Oh how fain would'st thou keep blind the heart and keep people without The Serpent knowes the blindness of the heart is the sole cause of the Creatures being alienated from the Life of God and so given up to all lasciviousness and uncleanness with greediness Ephes 4. 18 19. And the Light in the Heart is the onely thing that reveales the Gospel and gives the Light of the Knowledg of the Glory of God therefore he labours to keep people for looking for this Treasure in their Earthen Vessels 2 Cor. 4. to the 8. ver And in this work thou stands stoutly to thy Master to whom thou art fallen To the fifth Query What and where the Comforter is Somewhat what he is thou speakest but in the Heart thou dare not confess him least thou should destroy thy own Kingdome though none on Earth ever had him any where else since he ascended and so they gave their Testimony Gal. 4. 6. Ephes 3. 17. which thine is contrary who would limit him above the Clouds whom the Saints had dwelling in their bodies 1 Cor. 6. 19. But this is not known where the Man of Sinne and Son of Perdition sits in the Temple of God exalted above God letting and opposing the appearance of Christ which should reveal him In thy Answer to the sixth Query which asketh whether any of the servants of God may expect his word from his own mouth To this thou an werest No shewing thy self to be one of those who hast thy Word from thy Neighbour and not from the mouth of the Lord And here I know thou speakest thy own Experience but why dost thou bely others whom thou canst not judge as that Timothy had not the Word from the mouth of the Lord who had the gift in him which was given by Prophecie and that was from the mouth of the Lord immediate 1 Tim. 4 14. though first declared of by Paul And whereas thou faist that the Apostles are said to be the last in respect of such immediate furniture and mission I say that is the Liar that speakes thereby for to limit the Lord And I witness against thee who have received the Word from his own Mouth and immediate Calling And whereas thou faist Christ prayes for a blessing on no other immediate Messengers since I say that is another against which I witness who have found his Prayer and blessing upon the immediate Call to the same word As for the slander thou layst upon the Query I leave it to clear it self in the sight of all that read it For the seventh Query in stead of answering thou makest Lyes thereby the better to escape that so instead of answering thou may fall a slandering saying That he that sent the Queries sent them onely to them that deny the alone Teachings and yet makes it one of his Queries Whether they do so or no I say the Queries were not onely sent to them that deny the alone sufficiency of Gods Teaching as the Inscription may manifest neither is the Query Whether they do so or no but whether that Teaching of God alone be sufficient So into the Pit thou hast digged falls thy reproach with thee who hast no way to slander nor evade the Truth but by thy Lies so thy Refuge failes thee after all thy boasting In thy Answer to the eighth Query which askes what and where that word is that People shall hear behind them and where their Teacher is c. And this word thou thrusts out into another World and would thrust in instead thy self with the rest of thy Brethren such like because the word is read Teachers I say all that know this Prophecie of Isaiah and the end of it knows that it fore-tells of this day of the Lord wherein all the Children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord Not is it like that Isaiah was prophesying of such as you who so earnestly Isay 59. 13. declared against such as sought for their gain from their quarters and called them greedy dumb Dogs and cryed down those who spoke a Divination of their own brain and not from the mouth of the Lord It 's not like he was prophesying of you who are found in all these things and much worse which he declares against for though you have a way to call your selves Ministers yet shall you never have Testimony from any Scripture as it was given out by Prophet or Apostle so long as you are found in that way of Worship Manner and Meanes which now you are in Not a line in this Scripture will serve you unwrested it comming from a contrary Spirit it no more owns you then you own it in Life and Practice For what thou sayst to the Ninth Query That the Word is not a Principle in men that believe or mind it not I say thou speakest thy own knowledge but some know better then to believe thee who knowes That where there is no Word there is no Life who knows him that upholds all by the Word of his Power which they that have no Word but the Letter knows little of To the Tenth Query What that voyce of Christ is which his sheep knowes And this thou makest to be the written Record so by thy Doctrine all that heares the Scriptures knoweth the voice of Christ but who reads Act. 13. 27. may see thy false Doctrine for wiser than thou had the Record that spoke of Christ but knew not the voices of the Prophers that spoke it but from the Record concluded to put him to death who was the Joh. 19. 7. Word so thou from the Letter art preaching him out of the World and slandring him in the World making people believe that who waits for the voice of Christ in any other way but in the Letter waits but for a delusion So all the Communion thou knowst with Christ is literal and thus thou preachest and all believes thee but who hath fellowship in Spirit with Christ sees thee deluded and thy delusion And for answer to that Clause How the voyce of Christ may be known from all strange voices thou sayst By its own Light the Word of God I say that is true if from Truth from thee it came but dost thou not mean thereby the Letter which all along thou callest the Word which a man may read all his life and therewith come amongst you Parish Masters and never discern the voyce of Christ though he may hear as many voices amongst you and several Imaginations as there are dayes in a Year Rom. 8. 10. but if he mind the Light and Spirit which brings to understand the voice
