that are in the flesh cannot please God Rom. 8.8 But persecutors are in the flesh therefore persecutors cannot pelase God neither have they that are in the flesh any right given from God to persecute them that are in the spirit in whom the righteousnesse of the Law is fulfilled even in them who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit as it is written Rom. 8.1 2 3 4. 1. The true spiritual Christians who are regenerate and born after the spirit they are the true believers in Christ and worshippers of God the Father in spirit who are sought and taught of the Lord according to his word Therefore there is no reason why they should be hated and persecuted neither hath the spirit of the world any right or authority given unto it from God to hate and persecute them that are regenerate and born of God For they that are regenerate and born of God are the houshold and family of God and have access unto him by the spirit through his son as it is written Ephes 2.18.19 2. There is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus because they have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts and do live in the spirit and walk in the spirit and bring forth the fruits of the spirit against which there is no law Gal. 5.22 23 24 25. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made them free from the Law of Sin and Death and the righteousnesse of the law is fulfilled in them Rom 8.1 2. c. And if there be no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who have forsaken the flesh and are entred into the Spirit and life of truth to walk after the spirit and worship the Father therein being dead unto sin and alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord Rom. 6.7 8 9 10 11. What right reason can any one give for the haring reviling persecuting or banishing of them Who shall lay any thing to the change of Gods Elect seeing it is God that justifieth them Who is he that condemneth seeing it is Christ that dyed who is risen again who is even at the right hand of God an Intercessour who also maketh intercession for us Rom. 8.32 33.34 3. They are the true spiritual Christians and Worshippers of God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who being born again of water and the spirit are ingrafted or begotten into Christ the seed and power of God and are therefore declated new Creatures and Children of God Why then should such be hated persecuted excommunicated or banished What right reason can be shewed for the fame for we know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself and that wicked one toucheth him not and we know that we are of God and the whole world lyeth in wickedness and we know that the Son of God is come and hath given us an understanding that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true even in his Son Jesus Christ this is the true God and life eternal 1 John 5.18 19 20. Lye not one to another seeing you have put of the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the Image of him that created him where there is neither Greek nor Jew Barbarian Scythian bond or free but Christ is All and in All Colos 3.9 10 11. As ye therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord so walk yee in him rooted and built up in him and established in the Faith as yee have been taught abounding therein with thanksgiving Colos 2.6 7. Therefore if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creature 2 Cor. 5.17 18. Behold what manner of love is this that the Father hath bestowed on us that we should be called the Sons of God therefore the world knoweth us not because it knew him not 1 John 3.1 Be yee therefore followers of God as dear children and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us and hath given himself for us an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour Ephes 5.1 2. And because yee are sons God hath sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts crying Abba Father wherfore thou art no more a servant but a son and if a son then an heire of God through Christ Gal. 4.6 7 4. They are the true spiritual Christians believers in Christ and the true worshippers of God the Father in spirit and in truth who being regenerate are sanctified through the word and are in Christ Jesus as branches in the Vine And such ought not to be hated and persecuted by them that profess themselves Christians for the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the holy Ghost which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour that being justified by his grace we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life Tit. 3.4 5 6. John 15. 5. They that are in Christ Jesus as branches in the Vine bearing fruit they are purged that they may bring forth more fruit John 15.1 2. And they that are so in Union with Christ as branches in him and purged or made clean through the word that they may abide in him and he in them they bring forth much fruit unto God by vertue of that union for as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self except it abide in the vine no more can true Christians and worshippers of God the Father in spirit except they abide in Christ Jesus and grow up in him John 15.3 4 5. And they that are such and do so ought not to be persecuted or banished by them that profess love to the Lord Jesus no just cause by them can be shewed for it and the Heathen who know not God they have no right to do it And by the Law of the Land no man can be banished our of his native Country but either by Authority of Parliament Cook 2. part inst fol. 47. or in case of Abjuration for Felony by the common-Law saith Cook upon Magna Chartafol 47. But it is not Felony to worship the Lord nor it is not enacted and declared by Authority of Parliament that people shall be banished for the service and worship of God therefore Christians ought not to be banished for their love and faithfulness unto Christ Jesus as aforesaid An Epistle to Friends DEar Friends and Bretheren and Sisters begotten and brought forth by the Immortal word who are of the family of the heavenly love which is the houshold of Faith and so of the eternal God and all who are in any measure acquainted with him dwell in the power by which you are brought forth as a people for his praise in these perilous times
