discourag'd because of Tryals and Sufferings and Persecutions nor because of the Frowns of the Enemy for God's Truth neither be Dismayed because of the prosperity of the Wicked whose Day shall pass away swiftly and shall be no more but every one put on Strength and Courage and Boldness in the Name of the Lord and as valiant Souldiers endure Hardship and fight the Good Fight of FAITH and lay holy on Eternal Life for the Lord God Almighty is with us and take our part and he assuredly will fight our Battels for us before whom all the Nations of the Earth are but as the Drop of a Bucket and therefore it s in vain for them to contend with the Almighty who is on our side and is greater in us then he that is in the World whose eternal Glory and Excellency is now revealed Praises and Halelujahs to the Most High forever Wherefore Arise arise thou Seed of the Covenant arise and shine for thy Light is come and the Glory of the Lord is arisen upon thee though the Earth be covered with Darkness and gross Darkness be over the People yet the Lord is become thy Everlasting Light and thy God thy Glory Wherefore shake thy self from the Dust of Earth and put on thy beautiful Garments Oh Jerusalem the holy City for this I testifie in the Name of the Lord That henceforth there shall not come into thee the Uncircumcised nor the Unclean but thou shalt be called the City of God the Place wherein his Honour dwells Wherefore all ye Inhabitants thereof my Fellow Citizens and beloved Brethren and Sisters with whom my Life is bound up and with whom my soul rejoyceth who are surrounded with the great Salvation of God and know it to be the Wall of this Holy City the Gates whereof is Praise and stand open Night and Day though the Unclean cannot enter into it I say unto you all Let the High Praises of God be in your Mouthes and cease not to make mention of the Wonders of the Lord and of his Works which he hath wrought for you and tell of his Goodness and Loving-kindness and speak of his Praises that the Glory of his Appearance in you may be admired amongst the Heathen in this the Day of the Lords Power wherein his Excellency and Majesty is seen of which we are Eye-witnesses and therefore can we not cease to make known his Power and Coming that others also may be turned to the Light of God in them their to wait for his Appearance And though there be a Generation that would have us silenced as the Pharisees would have Christ to rebuke his Disciples when they went Triumphing to Jerusalem and the High Praises of God were in their Mouthes yet they were not to hold their peace but to go on and preach his Name amongst all Nations that People might be turned unto God And though they were again afterwards charged to speak no more in his Name yet they considered That it was better to obey God than Man For they who followed the Lamb were Called and Chosen and Faithful and they loved not their Lives unto the Death but went on boldly preaching in the Name of Jesus not regarding the Threatnings of corrupt Man but had respect unto the Lord above all who is the same at this day as ever he was and his Faithfulness is the same forever unto them that are truly Faithful unto him And his wonderous Works and Majesty and Glory is now seen by us in this our Day even as by them in the dayes of old wherefore let the same Courage Boldness and Faithfulness appear amongst you as was in them though I do not at all upbraid you neither was it in my Heart so to do but as a Brother of the same Root and Off-spring with you who are begotten by the same Word and brought forth by the same eternal Womb which is Holy forever do I exhort you in Bowels of the same tender Love with which our Hearts are filled to continue in Stedfastness hold fast your Integrity in Faithfulness unto the End every one in your several Stations and Callings that you may adorn the Glorious Gospel of Peace and of Salvation that so you dwelling in the Pure Divine Heavenly Power thereby your Lips may be opened and your Mouthes may shew forth his Praise that his Name may be known to be great in the Assemblies of his Saints and in the Congregations of the Righteous that so Nations may be gather'd unto him and Kings unto the Brightness of his Rising that so the Name of the Lord may be spread even to the Ends of the Earth which is now to be exalted above every Name to which every Knee must bow and all Tongues confess Wherefore all you my beloved Friends Brethren and Sisters who are of the Royal Off-spring and of the Holy Seed which is the Heir of the Blessing and Promise of the Father I say unto you all dwell in the feeling of the Immortal Birth every one in your own particulars for therein the Heirship stands and to that the Blessing is sure and as you keep Faithfully joyn'd unto it therein you will know the Heavenly Dominion and Power which goes over the Powers of the Earth and Darkness with which the Earth is cover'd and will give you to see before they were And here the Son is known who was glorified with the Father before the World began and who is the express Image of his Father's Substance and in whom the Fulness of the Godhead dwells and unto whom all Power in Heaven and in Earth is given And this is he who now is come in Power and great Glory of whose Power and Coming you are his Cloud of Witnesses who know the Birth of the Immortal Seed and it is because of this that the Heathen rages and the Nations are angry and therefore do they Revile and Persecute and Smite with the Fist of Wickedness according as it is written He that is born after the Flesh persecutes him that is born after the Spirit And these things they do unto you because they know not him of whose Coming you are Witnesses Nevertheless Dwell ye in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit ye that have the sense and feeling of the working and operating thereof in your inward Parts in any measure and answer the Motions thereof in all things for therein your Peace and Consolation consisteth and your Everlasting Refreshment which none can hinder you of as you obey the Truth according to the Motions of the Spirit of Truth and therein walking you will not fulfil the Lusts of the Flesh but the Cross will be dwelt in and Self-denyal will be known and witnessed and the Power of the Lord will be felt which makes willing to come into the Obedience of the Cross whereby the contrary part will be crucified and mortified and the Old Man will be wholy put off with his Deeds and the New Man put on which is created

the Knowledge of God the purpose of God was to bring them into a better state which the true Church in the Apostles dayes were Witnesses of for the Apostles said Heb. 11.46 God having provided some better thing for us that they without us could not be made perfect and although some of them had been Idolators and had lived in the pollutions of the World yet they were washed and clensed yea and justified in the Name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God 1 Cor. 6.10 11. and so though they were sometimes ignorant of God yet God caused the Light to shine out of darkness in their hearts to give them the Light of the Knowledge of Gods Glory in the face of Christ who dwelt in them 2 Cor. 4.6 Gal. 2.20 so that both sin and ignorance was done away in them though the power and coming of the Lord Jesus and so they did not always remain in their sin but were freed from them as the Apostle testified Rom. 18. 1.2 Secondly But then Antichrist's Mimisters saith That if they were free from sin why did the Apostle say That if we say we have no sin we deceive our selves and the Truth is not in us 1 John 1.8 I Answer he did not say so because people could not be made free from sin but he said so that they might not sin 1 John 2.1 and consider who they were that he then wrote to for he sometimes wrote to Children and somtimes to Young-men and sometimes to Fathers in the truth 1 Joh. 2.13 But when be spake those words viz If we say we have no sin c. he then spake to Children for said he my little Children these things I write unto you that you sin not 1 John 2.1 Now if they had been already perfect or fully fully freed from sin then had they attained to the mans state which the Apostle laboured to bring them to Col. 1.28 But they having not attained to that state he would not have them to deceive themselves nor to think more highly of themselves then they ought to think Rom. 12.3 which Children in understanding are subject to do but with these little Children the Apostle Travelled in birth that Christ might be formed in them Gal. 4.19 who is the one offering that perfects for ever all them that are sanctified Heb. 10.14 and he laboured to build them up in the holy Faith which gives Victory through Christ that so they might be borne up to a mans state for said He he that is born of God doth not sin John 3.9 Thirdly But then it may be some will object that the Apostle spake not only of Children but of himself also saying If we say c. To which I Answer that although the Apostle numbred himself with them yet that doth not argue that he was in their state or that he was not set free from sin no more then James his numbring himself amongst the scattered Jews saying with the same mouth curse we men c. Jam. 1.9 doth argue that he was one of them that did curse men for its evident that the Apostle became as weak to them that were weak and to the strong as strong and to them that were under the Law as under the Law and to them that were without the Law as without the Law though not without Law to God and became all things unto all that he thereby might gain some 1 Cor. 9.20 21 22. so although he did condescend to them that were weak as Children or Babes in Christ as to number himself amongst them for the gaining of them to a farther state yet that doth not at all argue that he was as they were for the Apostle Paul himself said that he was set free from the Law of sin and death Rom. 8.2 all which being rightly weighed it manifestly appears that perfection or freedom from sin is attainable according to the Doctrine of Christ and his Apostles which by the people called Quakers is preached and continued in as before asserted therefore they are the true Church 4. Again The Order and Discipline of the true Church in the Apostles time was That the Prophets might speak two or three and the rest might judge and if any thing was revealed to another that sate by he might speak and the first was to hold his peace 1 Cor. 14.29 30. and the same order the people called Quakers have in their Assemblies as is known to thousands by which it appears that they are the true Church 5. Again The Ministers of Christ in the true Church in the primitive times who turned people from darkness to light and from Satans power to the Power of God Gal. 1.1 were Ordained and made Ministers not of man nor by man nor of the letter but of the Spirit by the revelation of Jesus Christ 2 Cor. 3.6 and so are the Ministers amongst the people called Quakers made Ministers of the Spirit by the revelation of Jesus Christ as the effects of their ministry doth testifie for many are turned from darkness to light and from iniquity to righteousness and the spirits in Prison is by them ministred unto and the dead are raised unto life and the Captives are set at Liberty as thousands can and must bear witness Therefore the people called Quakers are the true Church Sixthly The true Church in the primitive times was taught by the Grace of God that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts they should live soberly and righteously and goodly in this present World Tit. 2.11 12. and the people called Quakers being taught by the same spirit of Grace do deny ungodliness and wordly lusts as many in this Nation well knows and doth live soberly righteously and godly in this present world as thousands can testifie Therefore the people called Quakers are the true Church Thus I might produce many more Arguments to prove the aforesaid people to be the Church of true Christians but much of this kind hath been by several of them already written wherefore I shall not inlarge at present but for any that shall desire any farther satisfaction let them come to the Assemblies of the aforesaid people and hear their Doctrines and behold their Discipline c. and as the Apostle said Try all things and hold fast that which is good 1 Thess 5.21 These following Lines are sent to all Sectaries in Christendom who have been killing and destroying one another about Faith and Worship but especially to the Church of ROME O Babylon the Great who long hast reign'd a Painted Whore And hast Bewitch't the Nations with thy Inchanting Power Into Remembrance thou art come of God the Mighty Lord who 'll do to thee as thou hast done the Saints with one accord Have bent their Bowes against thee strong and mighty men they are They will not spare nor pitty thee in this day o' th Lambs War For it 's the day of veng'ance great of our Almighty God He 'll do to thee as thou

shall they believe in him whom not of whom as their Bible saith of purpose to excuse themselves See above they have not heard or how shall they hear without a Preacher or how shall they Preach unless they are sent 4. Note this well gentle Reader and consider seriously with your self how deplorable a thing it is to see such Hypocritical Intruders to stand in a Pulpit or Tub with such a brazenfac'd Book as is their unjust corrupt and perverse Bible in their hand lulling the Poor Ignorant people to the sleep of death with these words Thus saith the Lord when the Lord saith no such thing Are not these they of whom the Lord himself saith Jer. 14.14 They prophesie falsly in my Name I sent them not and I did not bid them neither did I speak unto them a lying vision and divination and fraudulence and sedition of their own hearts they prophesie unto you See more Dent. 13.5 Item 18.20 c.

Oh times Oh manner Oh God amend them Amen See Erastus senior and jun. who copiously prove this Subject The Last Testimony OF That Faithful Servant of the Lord and Minister of Jesus Christ RICHARD FARNSWORTH Whereunto is prefixed a brief Testimony concerning his Life Death and Travels c. To which is added a few words of Exhortation unto those that believe in the Light of the Lamb. Published for the Consolation of the Houshold of Faith and for the stopping of that Mouth which is open'd in Blasphemy against God his Tabernacle and them that dwell in Heaven FOrasmuch as it hath pleased God Almighty after the long Night of woful gross Darkness Apostacy and Ignorance which hath been over the Nations amongst those who have had a Profession of Christianity again to make known and manifest the true new and living way which leads unto Life Eternal even by and through the Revelation and Operation of his Eternal Power and Word of Life in the hearts of a Remnant whom in this our day he first reached unto and visited and raised up to be Witnesses thereof that by them it might be born Testimony unto amongst those who were strangers to it and that thirsted after it that so thereby they also might receive the manifestation and knowledge thereof for want of which many perish and are strangers to the way of Life having only at best a Form of godlyness without the Power In which dead Forms or outside empty Professions some are at ease and rest as though they were in the true Heaven that should never pass away and some are at rest and at ease without any profession living in all uncleanness unrighteousness and abomination and some cannot find rest in either The faithful and true Witness of God being awakened in their Hearts and Consciences which takes the false peace from them and lets them see the emptiness of all outside professions which are without Life and Power and also the Abominations and vanities of the World and makes sin exceeding sinful to them And by this true and faithful Witness are desires and breathings and pantings begotten in their hearts after the Knowledge of God and Christ after fellowship and acquaintance with the Father and the Son which desire cannot be satisfied without the Knowledge and enjoyment of the Presence of the Lord and of the Light of his Countenance And for this cause many run to and fro and wander like Sheep gone astray from the true Shepherds Fold and are wearying themselves upon the barren Mountains in vain looking thereunto for Salvation and seeking the Living amongst the Dead and so spend their labour for that which doth not satisfie And in these several states and conditions aforesaid the whole Christian World lieth who are not turned to the Light and Spirit of Jesus in themselves and true rest and salvation cannot be found by them until they return to the Light and Power of the Spirit of God in their own hearts which is that whereby a dislike of sin is begotten in them and also desires after Life and Salvation and Freedom from sin is thereby begotten and that is it alone which can answer every desire which is begotten by its self Well But when it pleased the Lord to reveal the Son of his Love and to make known his eternal Power in these latter dayes for the rending of the Vail of Darkness that had long been over the heart by which he caused the Light to shine out of Darkness which gives the Knowledge of his own Glory he did not then give the knowledge and manifestation thereof unto all People but he chose certain Witnesses whom he raised up to declare of the manifestation of this Power and to preach the Word of Life nigh in the Heart and in Mouth and he furnished them with Armour of Righteousness and with all spiritual Weapons which were mighty through him to break down the strong holds of Iniquity and the spiritual wickednesses that were in the high places and impowred them as Instruments in his hand to turn many from Darkness to the Light that the Salvation of God they might come to see and the Work of God greatly prospered in their hands and multitudes were brought to the acknowledgment of the Truth to the saving of their Souls and though they met with great opposition and persecutions by the Emissaries of Sathan even in all Quarters where they came yet that was not prevalent to hinder the prosperity of that Work whereunto they were called of God but it still prospered and doth still prosper to the spreading of the unchangeable Truth abroad even as is seen at this day And of this number whom God Almighty at the first raised up by his Power for this Work aforesaid the late deceased Richard Farnsworth was one concerning whom the chief occasion of this my present writing is that so a Testimony concerning him and of what the Lord did by and through him may remain upon Record for Generations to come and that this present Generation of the Just may see and hear his last Testimony which proceeded from his own mouth a little before his departure out of the body and I doubt not but thereby the Consolation and spiritual Comfort of the Houshold of Faith will be added unto And for these Causes I could not well rest satisfied in my spirit without taking in hand to publish these things though I well know that there are many living Witnesses that knew the Life Labours and Travels of the said R. F. who are the Seal of his Ministry And also

will follow denying the Scripture to be the Word of God Without this saith he we know not that there is any God or Christ c. neither do we know what God counteth unclean or what he counteth holy c. Answ If by what God counteth Unclean and what Holy he meaneth the things appertaining to the Life and Conversation of People then the denial of Scripture to be the Word of God doth not hinder People from knowing what is Unclean and what is Holy Notwithstanding we cannot own the Scriptures to be the Word yet we own that to be unclean which is so accounted in the Scriptures of Truth in the Gospel Dispensation and that to be holy which in them is so accounted and that the one ought to be chosen and the other refused but if there were no Scriptures in beeing yet are people in the same capacity to receive the Knowledge of those things as they were before the Scriptures were written or as the Gentiles were who had not the outward Law yet in Life and Conversation shewed forth the Works of the Law that was written in their Hearts and if those Gentiles were now here they would condemn the Ignorance of J. N. who saith Without Scripture none know whether there be a God or what he counteth Unclean and what Holy For all the Heathen Poets and Philosophers who had not the Scriptures generally acknowledged a Supream Power and Beeing which all were to be subject to some calling of it by one name and some another but while they acknowledged the thing it is sufficient to signifie that if the Scriptures were not in beeing yet People might know that there is a God And they are not only in the capacity that the Gentiles were who knew and confessed That there was a God and shew'd forth the Works of the Law written in their Hearts but also in the capacity that the Fathers of old were who did not only know that there was a God but knew the only true God and were the acceptable Worshippers of him before Scriptures were written And these things I speak not in the least to under-value the Scriptures or out of a slight esteem of them for they are very profitable for Instruction c. and so I own them and have great esteem of them yet if people have no more Knowledge then what they carnally receive therefrom I may say as the Apostle said That what they know they know naturally as bruit Beasts and indeed knew nothing as they ought to know And those that he thus spake to had the Scriptures that were then in beeing yet had not the Knowledge of God which he spoke to their shame 1 Cor. 15.34 So that the End of my thus speaking is to enduce people not to rest in a Notional or Traditional Knowledge concerning God which is fecht into the Comprehension out of Scripture by the Wisdom that is from below but that all may encline unto the Inspiration of the Almighty which giveth Knowledge and wait in the Light which shineth in the Darkness or take heed unto the Word in the Heart as unto a Light that shines in a Dark place until the Day-star arise there that will expel the Darkness by which the Understanding hath been clouded and until the Light shine out of the Darkness which gives the Knowledge of the glory God in the Face of Christ Jesus And this is that Knowledge which is saving and is of concernment for all to come to because whatsoever notional Knowledge they have they that have not the Knowledge of God shall be punished with Everlasting Destruction from his Presence 2 Thes 1.8 9. Ninthly And Lastly J. N. saith That to deny the Scriptures to be the Word of God c. is to leave men to walk by Fancy or Imagination leaving that holy Rule wherein Life and Salvation is declar'd c. Answ This is but like the rest viz. His own Assertion without farther Proof But whether denying the Scriptures to be the Word of God be to deny them to be believed as containing true Testimonies concerning the Word for so I have alwayes owned them I may leave to the Reader to judge and how it leaves men to walk by Fancy or Imagination while J. N. himself saith That the Blessed Spirit directeth into the Knowledge of the most holy Will of the Father and that thereby the Adoption is known and God owned c. seems very strange for the Light and Spirit reproves all Imaginations and Fancies and leads into all Truth those who receive the Reproofs and Instructions thereof And therefore the denying of the Scripture to be the Word while the Word in the Heart which the Scripture testifieth of is owned people are not left to walk by Imagination but by the Word which is a Light to the Feet of those who take heed unto their Wayes according to the leadings of it And the Help and Comfort that is to be found in the Scriptures People are not depriv'd of neither though they are not owned to be the Word So that J. N. hereby and others may see plainly that those sad consequences do not follow the denying the Scriptures to be the Word of God and Rule c. as J. N. vainly imagin'd and boldly without Proof affirmed And what do all those Affirmations signifie more then this That J. Newman for all his large Profession of Knowledge and Understanding is ignorant of the Holy Spirit Power and Word of God without which none can be born again And so himself is found in the Unregenerate-state and worshipping according to the oldness of the Letter a Blind Leader of the Blind which all are to beware of for its such that lead people captive laden with Sins and divers Lusts alwayes learning but never able to come to the Knowledge of the Truth which sets free and which sanctifieth which is the Word as Christ said John 17.17 but labours to keep them from enclining to the sanctifying Word which the Prophet declared should be their Teacher which their Ears would hear behind saying This is the Way walk in it when they turn to the Right-Hand or to the left Isa 30.21 And thus having briefly gone through with the principal Scriptures and Arguments produced by him to prove the Scriptures to the Word of God and Perfect Rule c. and with the sad Consequences which he affirmed would follow by denying of them so to be I shall leave it to the Reader to judge 1st Whether the Word so oft spoken of as before may be understood to be the Scripture or 2dly Whether that Word may not be understood to be that which was before the Scriptures were written which so oft-times came unto the Prophets by vertue of which they gave forth the Scriptures and 3dly Whether the Rule of the New Covenant be the Scriptures called the New Testament or 4thly Whether the Rule of the New Testament be not the Law written in the Heart even the Law of that

the Prophets which is to do unto all men as you would men should do unto you And whensoever the motions of sin and iniquity shall arise in your hearts as you watch in the Light it will be seen and by the Spirit of Truth it will be judged before it will be brought forth into action and here the Cockatrice is crushed in the shell Babylons brats dash'd against the stone and happy shal he be that does so So there must be a diligent watch set before the door of thy Lips and a diligent waiting in the Light which is the eye that the Enemy may be seen in all his wiles and that his baits and snares may be discovered and escaped who lies in wait to devour and hunts for that end to keep the heart polluted for then he hath his nest there so herewith a young man may cleanse his way even by taking heed thereunto according to the Word which is pure and is nigh even in the heart and in the mouth and this is the Word of Faith which we preach which was in the beginning and is nigh unto all which you do well if you take heed as to a light shining in a dark place until the day dawn and the Day-star arise in your hearts And as you all take heed unto this Word it will be unto you a Light unto your feet and a Lanthorn unto your paths and the operation of it you will know as a fire to purge the filth out of every ones heart and as a Sword to separate you from your former Lovers and this is the Word of Reconciliation which purging out the filth reconciles us to God and this will be a Teacher near you so that none will need go far for teachings for your eye shall see your Teacher which shall not be removed into a corner any more according to the Promise of God made by his Prophets in the days of old and your ears shall hear this Word behind you saying this is the Way walk in it when you turn to the right hand or when you turn to the left Wherefore encline your ears and come unto me saith the Lord hear and your Souls shall live and I will make with you an Everlasting Covenant even the sure Mercies of David So now the day of gathering into Gods Everlasting Covenant of Light Life and Peace is come and now is the day of Gods Visitation unto all People and the time now is wherein you may come to know reconciliation with God and wherein you may come to he made nigh who are in the alienation and degeneration and now the time is wherein you may come to know the Restoration out of the fallen state Wherefore be not rebellious against the Light neither be ye stiff-necked against the Reproofs thereof in your own Hearts neither resist the motions of Gods good Spirit of Grace in your inward Parts by which he hath long striven with you and do not dispite unto it by resisting the motions thereof lest it leave to strive with you and the day of your Visitation pass over and your Hearts be heardened and you become even sold to work wickedness and then it be said unto you as Christ said to Jerusalem How oft would I have gathered you as a Hen gathers her Chickens under her Wings but ye would not therefore behold your house is left desolate Wherefore consider your ways and how the good Spirit of God hath long striven with you to gather you out of the Pollutions Wayes and vain Traditions of the World and every one while you have time prize it and while it is called to day harden not your hearts lest thereby you provoke the Lord to Anger and Jealousie which cannot be quenched for this know that his long suffering and forbearance will come to an end and his Spirit will not alwayes strive with man therefore while the tenders of Gods Love are held forth unto you every one who desires to know the Salvation of your Souls receive it and that which begets good desires in your minds and judgeth evil desires when they arise that own for your Guide and Teacher And this will exercise your minds in Lowliness and Humility and keep down the lofty spirit and high imaginations which will puff the minde up above the fear of God so keep down in the Humility for this the Lord requires of thee Oh man whosoever thou be to do justly and to love mercy and walk humbly with God for the proud he resisteth but he giveth grace unto the humble by which he teacheth them his precepts even by his good Spirit of Grace which brings Salvation and which hath appeared unto all men by this I say he teacheth them that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts they should live Soberly and Righteously and Godly in this present evil World mark the Grace which teacheth this and which brings Salvation hath appeared unto all men so that which brings Salvation is nigh unto you the Grace of God which hath appeared unto you so every one mind that and none turn it into wantonness nor into laciviousness but every one give up to be taught by it that the precepts of God you may come to know and walk in them And so here is the great Salvation of God Gods Covenant of Light which lighteth every man that comes into World I have given thee saith he a Covenant of Light to lighten the Gentiles that thou mayst be my Salvation to the ends of the Earth mark Gods Covenant of Light for Salvation which lighteth every man that comes into the World in which Light the Nations of them that are saved must walk And saith God who is Light I the Lord search the heart and try the reins look unto me and be saved all ye ends of the Earth mark again unto him that searcheth the heart and trieth the reins all the ends of the Earth must look for Salvation so that it comes not from the Mountains nor from the Hils but Salvation is of the Lord and God is Light and in him is no darkness at all and that is the Father of Lights and is in the Son and the Son in him and the Father and Son are one who lighteth every man that cometh into the World wherefore dwell in the Light and walk in the Light that you may be Children of the Light for the Earth shall be covered with darkness and gross darkness shall be over the people but the Lord shall become the Light of his Israel and his God his glory Wherefore come out of the gross darkness with which the Earth is covered and walk in the Everlasting Light of the Son of God wherewith you are enlightened and walk no longer in the dark paths of Ignorance neither follow the Blind-guides of the World any more who have fed you with their own aiery Imaginations and Conceptions and brain-study and have spoken unto you a Divination of their own brain not from the mouth
