A77973 A vvarning from the Lord to the inhabitants of Underbarrovv, and so to all the inhabitants in England, where it shall meet with them, who holds up the false teachers, and false worship, and who beats, stone, stock, and persecute, and hail out of their assemblies, those who are sent by the Lord, to speak his word freely; with an exhortation, that they hast to meet the Lord by true repentance, by putting off the works of darkness, lest the Lord cut them assunder, by his sword, which is already drawn and put into the hand of his servants. Also, a word to my brethren, and companions in tribulation in the kingdome and patience of Jesus Christ, who is by the world scornfully called Quakers. With the manner of my passage through the dark world, (wherein the simple ones may see the deceits of the man of sin in his actings like the true spirit) to warn all to follow the true light within, which leads unto God, & to beware of the voice, lo here & lo there, by one who is a labourer in the vineyard, who is not known to the world; (though named of the world) Edvvard Burrough. Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662. 1654 (1654) Wing B6057; Thomason E733_5; ESTC R206899 28,263 40

Thou art in the Generation of the Scribes and Pharisees and be ashamed ye upholders of him for now every tree that brings not forth good fruit must be hewen down the Lord hath said it his word is as a fire which will burn up all the wicked his Word is sharper than a two edged sword which will cut down and wound the head of the wicked ye Mockers Scorners ye Swearers and Liars ye Proud Covetous ones

coveteous desires and affections which checks and reproves you for your ungodlie deeds this Light shines in darkness but the darkness cannot comprehend it this is the Light which hath enlightened every one that cometh into the World which Light is Christ he that follows this Light walks not in darkness but hath the Light of life he that hates this Light stumbles and walks in darkness ignorance and blindness as you do turning the grace of God into wantonness which same grace is the Saints Teacher this is the free Grace of God which hath appeared to all men which in all Generations taught the Saints to denie ungodliness and wordlie lusts and led them into puritie and holiness This Grace do we witness praised praised be the Lord to be led by it which ever was the Saints leader and through the teaching of this Grace do we denie your Hireling and all such Pharisees and Hipocrites who makes a prey upon the poor people and if you stop not into their mouths they even prepare War against you

taught alone by his grace out of the mouth of your Hireling who once made a prey upon us but eternal praise and glorie to our God who in his Light hath discovered unto us his nakedness and his shame his hypocrisie and deceit in the eternal Light of God do we see him and all such to be blind guides and leads the poor blind people in darkness and in ignorance and none is able to come to the true knowledge of the eternal Truth in his Ministerie for he is no Minister of God but an Anti-Christ denying Christ to be come in the flesh denying the Light to have enlightened everie one as several times he hath done to me but my Father who is Light and Glorie hath now made him manifest and in that Light Christ Jesus do I see him to be one whom hath run whom God hath not sent therefore doth he not profit you at all nor puts no difference from the precious and the vile in you nor leads you to discern the clean from the unclean the pure from the impure in you but speaks the Divination of his own brain feeding your dark minds and from the eternal Light made manifest in me from God the Father who is over all and above all do I Declare against him and against all Hirelings and greedie dumb Dogs that seeks for their gain from their Quarter as he doth freelie do I declare as knowing them to be deceivers and blind guides For the simple ones sake among you who are insnared and kept in ignorance by him under his dead drie barren sloathful Ministerie Repent ye people who lies in the Captivitie of Babylon under your Babylonish Merchant now is the Lord leading his Sons and Daughters out of Egypt out of bondage and now he that hath led Captive is led into Captivitie praised and honored be the God of Saints for evermore who hath redeemed us out of the mouth of your Idol shepheard who feeds himself with the fat and who hath enlightened our dead Consciences and hath shined in our hearts in his eternal Light and of this have I received freelie and from this do I let forth freelie to the laying open the deceits of your Hireling Now is the day of your Visitation wherein the Savior of the World stands at the door and knocketh if anie open to him he will come in therefore prise your time and hear the Word of the Lord and lay aside the works of darkness Lying and Swearing Mocking and Scorning and beating of your fellow Servants Wo unto you ye Strikers who hardens your hearts against the Lord and against those who declare to you the wickedness of your waies the Lord will come when you are not aware and give you your Portion with Hypocrites and Unbeleevers and cast you into utter darkness Repent and turn to the Lord your God with mourning and lamentation and cease from all your former waies and doings cease from Covetousness and Oppression ye aged people and cease from Lightness Vanitie and Pride ye yong People and from all your Priests and Steeple-houses for there your Lightness Pride and vain minds are fed and nourished and the enemies of the Lord are strengthned Dear people there had I once fellowship with you in your Pride Lightness and Vanitie and there was once my joy and delight but now am I chosen by the Lord out of all these things praised be him for ever to serve the Lord in declaring against all these abominations in whom they are standing For Wo unto the proud and light vain minds who are tripping upon the mountains and whose hearts are not subject to the Lord against all these abominations do I Declare as from the Lord and do advise you as from him to depart out of these abominations for the day is coming when you must be separated from all your lovers a day of darkness and miserie therefore prise your time and hearken unto the Light of God within you which reproves you for your filthie and ungodlie deeds and words this Light will lead you to God out of all filthiness obeying it this will separate the clean from the unclean in you and will lead you to be taught of God and to have unitie with God and with the Saints for it was in the Light
