A52677	An account from the children of light (to them that askes) in several particulars why we have been kept from joyning to, or worshipping in those formes at law, and formes of worships, that have been imposed upon us against our consciences, in these late years, for denying whereof, we have so deeply suffered, with our lives, liberties, and estates. : Also what we owne as to those things, and can be obedient to for conscience sake, according to truth, and the practise of the church of Christ, and the Scriptures.	Naylor, James, 1617?-1660.; Hubberthorn, Richard, 1628-1662.	1660 (1660)	Wing N256; ESTC R27517	31,099	57

land_n may_v have_v become_v as_o sodom_n and_o not_o one_o have_v know_v the_o lord_n nor_o his_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o false_a prophet_n so_o have_v it_o be_v since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o false_a ministry_n for_o which_o many_o have_v suffer_v since_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o testify_v against_o such_o as_o have_v err_v in_o spirit_n form_n and_o doctrine_n from_o christ_n jesus_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o this_o have_v be_v from_o the_o indwelling_n power_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o and_o his_o precious_a light_n shine_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o conscience_n that_o they_o have_v thus_o be_v preserve_v and_o enable_v to_o bear_v the_o testimony_n of_o christ_n against_o false_a worship_n and_o worshipper_n and_o so_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o all_o who_o keep_v a_o pure_a conscience_n towards_o god_n in_o all_o his_o word_n and_o worship_n that_o his_o true_a and_o spiritual_a worship_n may_v not_o be_v whole_o lose_v out_o of_o the_o world_n also_o if_o at_o any_o time_n their_o king_n or_o ruler_n forget_v god_n or_o king_n arise_v who_o know_v not_o god_n and_o then_o will_v lay_v upon_o they_o law_n

unto_o death_n as_o that_o of_o mordecai_n and_o the_o jew_n 3._o who_o will_v rather_o all_o be_v destroy_v then_o bow_v to_o hamon_n pride_n at_o the_o king_n command_n though_o england_n people_n will_v have_v say_v this_o be_v but_o a_o civil_a thing_n and_o duty_n and_o good_a manner_n and_o the_o like_a yet_o god_n law_n in_o their_o conscience_n they_o prefer_v above_o all_o that_o the_o

without_o have_v forbid_v such_o a_o thing_n yet_o in_o other_o case_n do_v they_o appear_v true_a and_o subject_a to_o the_o king_n for_o mordecai_n truth_n save_v the_o king_n life_n not_o long_o

likewise_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 29._o when_o their_o ruler_n and_o priest_n also_o charge_v they_o straight_o not_o to_o preach_v any_o more_o their_o answer_n before_o authority_n be_v we_o ought_v to_o obey_v god_n rather_o than_o man_n yea_o it_o will_v be_v too_o long_o to_o tell_v how_o many_o godly_a man_n and_o woman_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o a_o pure_a conscience_n not_o

for_o which_o we_o suffer_v though_o to_o the_o world_n they_o seem_v new_a and_o strange_a but_o for_o the_o very_a same_o work_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o light_n and_o truth_n which_o have_v

such_o have_v we_o suffer_v who_o read_v and_o preach_v the_o same_o in_o word_n which_o this_o eternal_a spirit_n in_o we_o now_o work_v and_o with_o such_o who_o with_o word_n garnish_v the_o
