A84841	A word from the Lord, to all the world, and all professors in the vvorld; spoken in parables: wherein all may come to read themselves through the parables, and see where they are; also a word to all professors, who cast the pure law of God behind their backs, and turn the grace of God into wantonness, and despite the day of their visitation; with a dreadful voice to all the children of darkness, who hate and deny the light; that all may come to see themselves, and repent, before the fierce wrath of the Lord, which is kindled in England, sweep you all away: by them who are redeemed out of the curse, to serve the living, called Quakers.	Fox, George, 1624-1691.	1654 (1654)	Wing F1991A; Thomason E809_6; ESTC R207560	15,809	15

the Plants without so doth the mercy of God fall upon the tender Plants within As there is a Vineyard Planted without so are the People of God a Vineyard who love the Light and have the Invisible eye will read these Figures and Parables and ye heed not go to your natural Priests without you But this within will open them as you love it and walk in it as the Saints did who gave forth the Scripture and they Exhorted others to take heed to that light and said ye have a more sure word of Prophesie unto which ye do well to take heed and as unto a light shining in a dark place till the day dawn and the day-star arise in your hearts and this light is your Teacher which teacheth you wholesomeness and Holiness and Teacheth you the fear of the Lord and this light hating of it will be your condemnation and then you stumble and then you neither understand Parables nor Figures but are them that stumble at noon day all you who are earthly minding it which is Invisible ye will read the earthly Parables and Figures and see the time of Winter as there is Winter without so there is Winter within the time of Winter and the time of Summer if you wait to get through the earthly part The earth must be removed and the earth must be shaken when the Glory of the Lord ariseth This is witnessed so God almighty open your understandings all people everywhere that you may see your selves Which if you take heed to that light which will exercise your consciences it will let you see your selves which eye is the light and this light will let you see God But if your minds go forth the God of this world cometh in and takes the Dominion and so your minds are blinded and your understandings darkned Therefore every one what you possess profess for the Saints were what they spoke and every one as Christ hath given you a measure according to your ability mind your measure and improve your measure and let the Saints conditions alone but as you find them fulfilled in you and lay aside all contention and striving about words which is no profit but mind the pure light of God within which will teach every one to know God and so every one must improve his Talent and improve his measure according to his Ability so every one will be rewarded according to his works whether they be good or evil and thou that sayest every one hath not the light who art the blind Pharisee I shall stop thy mouth with a few words which the servants of God hath spoken forth Christ himself saith which is the true light he doth enlighten every one that cometh into the world and the one he loveth it and the other he hateth it And this is the Condemnation of the World that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather then light because their deeds are evil And thou sai●… he doth not enlighten every one that cometh into the world and there thou art a false Prophet and a witness against Christ and thou that saist the Grace of God hath not appeared to all men to teach them thou art he that tuins the Grace of God into wantonness and to thee the Grace hath appeared for that is Grace that shews thee ungodliness and worldly lusts and there thou goest to make the Apostles lyars when the Grace of God they say which we witness hath appeared to all men which teacheth us the Saints to deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live Godlily and Soberly and Righteously in this present evil world and this Grace hath appeared to thee who livest wickedly and ungodlily and are of this present evil world to that in thy conscience I speak which thou shalt eternally witness me for to it the Grace cometh and appears and when the Book of Conscience is opened all men shall be Judged out of it and here thou that sayest every one hath not the light in their Consciences to exercise it thou goest about to make God unjust for the light which lets man see sin and evil is a perfect light of God and thou that saith every one hath not a measure of light within them to shew them all their Works and Actions which they do thou goest about to make God unjust and unrighteous and to keep the Creature in darkness for God saith he will give to every one a reward according to their works and if he had not a light how should he see his Works and how should the world be Judged in Righteousness but blind Hypocrites must shew themselves that they may openly appear blind to all them that are in the light and love the light and you that hate the light there is your condemnation G. F. TO all the Worlds Professors and People that you may see where you are and repent The word of God is not known to the world nor worldly wisdom He that hath the word hath life he that knows the word knows God and here is life manifest and the word hath quickned him and raised him out of death and dead works He who hath but the Letter heareth a sound but knoweth not what nor whence it is and as he receives it in the Ayr so he declares it and death speaks light words without power and dead-works and lightness is brought forth and the power of death Reigns and the life of this is but an imitation and not the life it self the Chaffe but not the Grain tossed in the wind And the Prince of the Ayr is Head and Ruleth And here Vanity is Exalted the light mind is fed with Ayery Notions would be wise but the Colt is at liberty not subject to the Yoke but kicks against the pure and the obedience is not And the Cross is despised by this nature who feeds here whose end is destruction and for the fire For this nature knows not the living Word but the Letter and is without God in the world but he who hath the Word hath God and is come into the Covenant by which all things stand For he is come into the beginning out of the Fall to the first Fruits and witnesseth the Word Spiritual Invisible Powerfull and Pure and Sharp a Divider and a Discerner By it he is Sanctified and made clean by it he is established unmoveable by it he grows and is fed daily it is his Life his Light his Joy and Delight And this Word is not to fetch from above nor from below Neither is it to seek in a Chapter or a Steeple-house without But it is nigh in the heart and in the mouth by which Word he is taught guided and kept at all Seasons it is his Counsellor and he enquires at it as at the Oracle and thereby he himself is brought to live the life of Godliness and from which is spoken forth words of life and power to others and he speaks not his own words not
