A89842	The light of Christ, and the word of life. Cleared from the deceipts of the Deceiver, and his litterall weapons turned upon his owne head. Also the man of sin found out, who is hiding himselfe in a heape of confusion, pretending Antichrist is not yet come. Occasioned by laying open some deceipts in a booke titled, The deceiv'd and deceiving Quakers discovered; subscribed Mathew Caffin and William Jeffery, brethren in iniquitie, who are joyned to deny God, Christ, the light, and spirit, in his saints, and calls it teaching Christs spirit apart from his body, and an evill spirit, to witnesse the spirit of Christ in the saints. Set forth that the simple may see the wiles the devill hath to keepe them from the word of life, the soules salvation. / By a lover of Israels seede, called James Nayler.

all things was made and saith in him is life and the life was the light of men and that this light shined in darknesse but the darknesse comprehends it not And this light thou denies and would limit to some persons who act in darknesse and cannot comprehend it though it shine in darknesse wherefore saith the blind guide this is another report and another Spirit and such a thing is not to be found in all the Scriptures but cannot see thy blind Spirit opposing the living Spirit of light and life in all the Saints both in Scriptures and to this day And Simeon the Prophet he testifies to this light and saith He is prepared before the face of all people a light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of his people Israell and calls it Gods salvation Luke 2. 30 31 32. But saith the false Prophet and Antichrist this is not sufficient alone though it be Israells glory and salvation and the Gentiles light And saith Christ of himselfe I am the light of the world he that followes me shall not abide in darknesse but shall have the light of life John 8. 12. But saith Antichrist this light is not sufficient of it selfe And saith Christ Take heed that the light that 's in thee be not darknesse The light of the body is the eye therefore when thine eye is single the whole body is full of light but when thy eye is evill thy whole body is full of darknesse Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darknesse And this he spake to the people and the Pharisees Luke 11. But saith Antichrist it is not to be found in all the Scriptures that Christ or any of his did Counsell Ignorant people to take heed to a light within them and saith the Blasphemer False and Erronious is that Spirit that bids men attend to a light within So the lyar and the Antichrist is now revealeing and there are many Antichrists who thus oppose Christ his light and doctrine who have the hornes of blasphemy and dare blaspheme God in his Temple Calling the Spirit of Christ false and Erroneous And saith that to suppose that God in men is their teacher is an Error not knowing the Scriptures when the Scripture saith You shall all be taught of God John 6. 45. And know you not that yee are the Temple of the living God as God hath said I will dwell in them and walke in them and the Temple of God is holy whose Temple ye are but sayest thou for to suppose God to teach thee is an Error and so art not afraid to blaspheme God in his Temple And saith the Scripture All thy Children shall be taught of the Lord Isa 54. 13. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them to the greatest Jere. 31. 34. Heb 8. 11. But saith the Children of darknesse where the Son of perdition sits in the Temple of God this is Error who are strangers to this Covenant of light and without God in the world who are of such the Apostle tells on Eph 4. who because of the blindnesse of their hearts through denying the light within are alienated from the life of God and so become past-feeling and so are given to sin and plead for it though it be their destruction for all that deny the light within are heart-blind and so strangers to the life And here are all you blind guids of all sorts enemies to the light stumbling at it which is the Corner Stone and so all that hate the light loves your evill deeds and so plead for them while you live and so the words of Christ is fullfilled upon you John 3. 19 20. And saith Christ I am come a light into the world that whosoever beleeveth in me should not abide in darknesse and hee exhorts the Pharisees and unbeleevers who beleeved the Scriptures to beleeve in the light of the world which John calls the true light which ligheth every man that cometh into the world and saith Christ God so loved the world that hee gave his onely begotten Sonne that whosoever beleeveth on him should not perish but have everlasting life but he that beleeveth not is condemned already and this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darknesse rather than light and this he spake of them that beleeved the letter as you blinde guids doe now but would not beleeve in the light of the world as you doe now who deny Christ to be the light of the world and would limit him only to be the light of Beleevers which beleevers when searched you are found to be enemies to the light but saith they that beleeve he is a light to lighten the Gentiles Luk. 2. 32. And the people that sate in darknesse saw a great light and to them that sate in the Region and shaddow of death light is sprung up Math 4. 16. But saith Antichrist hee inlightneth none but such as are inlightned already that so he may keepe all in darknesse that are in darknesse but the Children of light know that there is no other thing to inlighten them that sit in darknesse whose minds the God of this world hath blinded but the light of Christ and till then the Gospell is hid and the vaile is over the heart and all other meanes till the eye be open is unprofitable and it is his light alone which is that eye and his Spirit alone that takes away that vaile 2 Cor 3. 16 17. And that it is his Spirit alone that guides into all truth John 16. 13. Even the same Spirit which reproves the world of sin ver 8. But saith Antichrist men are not lead into all truth by a light within so by thy doctrine the Spirit of truth must either not be within or else darknesse within for sayest thou men are not lead into all truth by a light within but saith the Scriptures Yee have an unction from the holy one and yee know all things and this anoynting abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anoynting teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lye and even as it hath taught you yee shall abide in him but saith the lyar that spirit is false and erroneous that bids men give attendance to the light within as their onely teacher when the Spirit of God saith Yee need not any man to teach you but as the same anoynting that abideth in you teacheth you of all things and no lye is in it and commands them to abide therein And this spirit thou calls false and erronious and so art found that Blasphemer against the Spirit of God and an open lyar who saith there is not such a Scripture as directs to a light within for the onely teacher and though in thy Book thou sayest wee must wrastle against

it the Word which doth but declare of the Word now is the deceipt of your high notion found out who have pretended so much light and Spirit that now the true light is come and the gift of the Spirit is manifest for every one to profit withall you are found the greatest opposers and set your selves to make the people evill-affected against the light and Spirits teachings though no man can say that Jesus is Lord but by that Spirit which is given to every one to profit withall 1 Cor 12. 3. 7. And all your prayers and worships that are out of this light and before it are blind and abominable And all you prove in this your opposing the light and Word is but your selves Children of darknesse and wholy Ignorant of the Spirits teaching and the least Child of light shall Judge you herein for the least that ever knew any thing from God eyther of Judgement teaching or promise or power they know they have it in Spirit and such know that what the Saints declare of in the letter which they received of God in Spirit will not satisfie their longing soules unlesse they can have it from God in Spirit also so that your opposing the spirituall light and power doth but give occasion to all that have the lest sight of the Spirit and its teaching to see you heart blind and so joyning with the God of this world to blind the minds of others also and the least of the Children of light can you not deceive with this onely you discover your Babel which you have builded without the light and Spirit in your Imaginations from the letter without the light the ground of all the false worships sects opinions and devisions The seate of the hypocrite and Court of Conceites in which you blesse your selves in darknesse without God in the world not having the Father and the Son in you and so are out of the doctrine of Christ 2 Epistle of John 9. 10. And so are shut out of the habitation of the Children of light O blind men how hath your wisdome perverted you and the Devill deceived you Is this the doctrine of Christ that his light is not sufficient to lead without something else joyned with it That the Spirit is false and erroneous that bids take heed to a light within Luke 11. 35 And that Christ did not Commend people to a light within Is this the doctrine of Christ That men are not led into all truth by a light within them John 16. 13. Rom 8. 14 That to suppose that God in men is their teacher is an error John 6. 45. John 14. 26. John 17 23 That to declare the light within is another report and another Spirit That its an error to say that Christ is in the Saints in their sufferings suffering with them Acts 9 5. 2 Cor 1. 5. Colo 1. 24 That its an error to say that is the true light even the light of the world that lighteth every man that comes into the world and that it alone is sufficient Joh 1. 9. John 8. 12. And that the light of the world is the onely way which leads to all other things but no other thing can lead to it but it selfe John 14. 6. John 8. 12. And much more such like doctrine the man of sin is not afraid to preach openly thereby to deny the light of Christ to be sufficient least that light should reveale him all against the doctrine of Christ And that he may not be suspected to be the Antichrist and man of sin who is thus opposing Christ and pleading for sin you would perswade us that the Antichrist will but be one single person when he comes That so while people are looking for him in a single person he may thus oppose the light and spirituall appearance of Christ in his Thousands and ten thousands who are gathered as the sand of the Sea for multitude to oppose the light and plead for sinne And to confound your selves you say againe that even now are there many Antichrists but cannot see your selves to be they who are armeing your selves thus against his light and appearance and as one of his last shifts to set the letter in his stead which doth but declare of his appearance who is the light of the world made manifest to enlighten them that sit in darknesse and destroy the workes of the Devill in all that beleeve and follow him And where this light is received and followed you are therewith Comprehended your worke and the end of it and in all that you doe in thus opposing the light of the world you are but breaking your selves against the Corner Stone foolish women who are pulling downe your own house with your owne hands for the more you resist the light the more it shines and the more you Raile against the light and Spirit the more you are manifest to be out of the doctrine of Christ who is that light and Spirit and you doe but give an opportunity to all that see your worke to see the Innocency of that light you oppose and to see you set against that which is the onely thing testified of in the Scriptures and so shall that in every tender Conscience witnesse against you and for that Spirit you resist So behold your doctrine and compare it with the Apostles and with Christs and the Prophets and let that of God in your conscience g●ve righteous Judgement upon you if this of yours be the doctrine of Christ had John said concerning Christ This is the true light that li●hteth every man that cometh into the world but it is not sufficient without something else had he been a forerunner of Christ or of something else Had Christ said I am the light of the world beleeve in the light and follow it but it is not sufficient without something else with it for it is but a naturall light had not he then taught them a naturall foundation in stead of a spirituall who said beleeve in the light that you may be the Chi●dren of light had the Apostles gone forth to preach Christ the light for every one to beleeve in said this is our message wee have received of God and declare unto you that God is light and whatsoever makes manifest is light and all things that are made manifest are reproved by the light but this light is not sufficient had they then preached Christ all in all a sole ground and authour of faith nay had they not been mad-men that would have beleeved them if 〈◊〉 had thus preached as you doe a light and Spirit but not 〈…〉 Had the Prophets preached a Covenant of light 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to beleeve and when they had done told them that it was not sufficient without the letter had not they destroyed their faith in their generation before the letter was written nay goe through all the Scriptures and find any of the Children of light in your doctrine if you can till then for
