A77956	Something in answer to a book called Choice experiences, given forth by one J. Turner. Also the copy of a letter sent to the assembly of those that are called anabaptists in Newcastle. Wherein the simple minded ones may see the deceit of those people, who take up the practises of others, by imitation and tradition from the Scriptures, not having the same commands themselves, as the saints alwayes had, from the spirit of the Lord. And that Christ in the saints, which is their hope of glory, is the same Christ that was crucified by the Jews, who is the lambe slaine from the foundation of the world. Also the difference between the saints who waite on the Lord for the moving if his spirit to be acted, when, and as he please; and formalists of these dayes, who in their owne wills and time practice their imitations of duties and ordinances, which the Lord abhorres. By a servant of the Lord, named of the world Edward Burrough.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B6025; Thomason E816_2; ESTC R207361	11,095	15

to joy in God the substance as by her writings it is made manifest who hath denyed salvation by Christ within and hath denyed to waite upon God for the power of his spirit and calls them deceitfull Principles she hath chosen the way of death rather then the way of life and hath taken her selfe to follow shaddows and likenesses and neglected the substance which is Christ within the 〈◊〉 of ●lory her latter end is worse then her beginning and the P●●●● is ●●●filled upon her And she speaks in the 126. pag. of 〈◊〉 being d●servered under his vaile and in particular as to that ●f being saved by a Christ within and not by a Christ with ut and the Lord was pleased to shew her it was quite another thing differing from the Gospel and that it was attended with this evill consequence to overthrow the whole Gospel and to deny the Lord that bought them I answer I charge her here as in the presence of God with belying the Lord and with horrible blasphemy who saith That that which the saints and servants of God witnessed who Preached the Gospel and establi●●●ed it Christ within manifested is quite another thing differing from the Gospel and that it is attended to overthrow the wh●●● Gospel O horrible blasphemy and belying the Lord who saith that the Lord was pleased to shew her it did ever he shew any of his lyes all take notice of this wicked and horrible blasphemer the Lord rebuke that unclean spirit of Anti-Christ in her She goes on and saith then secondly as to that of wayting for a power to Pray and that here was no command but from within concerning both these the Lord was pleased to shew that it was not according to his minde but a meer invention of Satan and that it was attended with this evill consequence to slight Scriptures and commands of God and to expose the soule to Satans deceivings to walke by the imaginations of their own heart in stead of the motions of the spirit I answer The Saints wayted for the moving of the spirit which was power in them to help them to pray they knew not to Pray as they ought without it and this command and help they had not without them but within them And I again here charge her with belying the Lord and with notorious blasphemy who saith that that which the saints witnessed wayting for the power of the spirit to Pray is not according to the minde of the Lord but an invention of Satan and she is not ashamed to say the Lord shewed her and the same which they witnessed which spoake forth the Scripture and which walked in the commands of God tends to slight Scriptures and commands of God and to expose the soule to Satans deceivings this is blasphemy and error and corrupt principles and she which hath denyed wayting to be led by the motions of the spirit is led by the imaginations of her own heart and is under the power of Satans deceiving speaks contrary to what the Scripture speaks and so slights it and the commands of God she hath blasphemed the God of Heaven and accordingly will the Lord requite And thus have I for the simple ones sake declared the truth and every single eye may see who it is is led by corrupt principles and what I have written shall she eternally witnesse to be true and all her co-partners And I passe by the rest of her Book as not worth answering for it is nothing but a●ery imagination and confusion and death yet raignes in her and in her Book is spoken out by her and she knowes not the Baptisme of Saints nor Communion nor the true Church of Christ to that witnesse in her conscience doe I declare and when it shall arise it will eternally Witnesse me Whose Name in the Flesh is Edward Burrough The Copy of a Letter c. FRiends for so I call you I was moved of the Lord to come unto your Assembly to declare the truth from him coucerning you as by the eternall spirit was revealed to me and I doe acknowledge it it was a mercy from the Lord that I had that small liberty which I had to cleare my conscience amongst you and to discharge my duty in obedience to the Lord and to every ones conscience am I made manifest whether you will heare or you will forbeare truely friends there is something among you which I owne and which is owned of my Father but yet many things hath he against you and as I said I now againe say from the mouth of the Lord that your covering is too narrow to hide your shame and your bed too short to stretch your selves upon Now friends the Ordinances of Jesus Christ which you act in you say in obedience to him I doe not speake against but doth witnesse them in life and power neither doe I judge such amongst you who have extered in at the doore by the Principle of God to the Ordinances if any such but you I doe declare against and doth judge by the infallible spirit who have in your own wills thrust in your selves and acted by imagination and imitation from the Letter without and not having received the command from Christ into your selves such I judge to be in deceit deceived by the Serpent which deceives the simple by the likenesse of a thing and you that limit the Lord to any outward visible thing that without such can be no salvation you I judge againe to be in deceit and my judgement shall stand for nothing is avayleable that which God once commanded nor that which was not commanded but the new creature which is borne of the immortall seed contrary to the will of man Truely friends you are acting in darkenesse and there is no seperation in you betwixt the pretious and the vile betwixt the cleane and the uncleane for that which did convince you of false hirelings and of their deceitfull worship which is owned of my Father in you hath not b●●n ●beyed by you but your minds have been drawne forth from within to obey a thing without and herein have you been bewitched from the obedience of the truth within to obey the letter without as they wore which the Scripture speaks of and you are acted in another forms and likenesse then you were before and which some are acted in yet but by tho same spirit and you have a zeale I beare you record but it is not according to knowledge I declare against that spirit by which you are now acted as knowing it to be the spirit of Anti Christ and that which is owned by my Father in you is oppressed by you by your wisedome and ●●●sen which stands above and is head and rules amongst you which is for destruction and for the Lord to accomplish his wrath upon and happy were you if you knew the day of vengeance which is the acceptable yeare of the Lord but you are yet full and rich and thinke you have need of nothing and hath a name that you li●e but you are dead and empty and miserable your forme is corrupted and you se●k the living among the dead and you act in the forme but w●lkes at liberty in your own wills despising the dayly crosse of Christ which if you walked in would bring downe the high minde and high nature in you and through the Crosse that which is low in you would be exalted and the witnesse of your Ordinances would you have within which you are seeking in the letter without And now Friend to thee who was the Speaker when I was present among you thy Name I know not but by thy nature and spirit thy spirit is the same which they speake from which thou seems to d●●y as false spirits and by that spirit hast thou been deceived and now at workes by thee to deceive others and that spirit infallibly by the eternall Spirit doe I judge for the time is come that by the Saints the great Wh●re must be judged which hath wade all the men of the Earth drunke with the Wine of her Fornteat●●●● and which hath deceived the simple And whereas thou did 〈◊〉 what one thing I will deny as untruth which you had 〈◊〉 I answered then as now I doe I doe deny thy v●yee and 〈◊〉 for it is the voyce of the stranger and not of Christ and though you sweare by that spirit The Lord lives I say surely thou sweares falsely and the false Prophets which used their tongues and said The Lord saith it when the Lord had not spoken unto them speake the same words of the true Pr●phet but he that had the true spirit judged the false spirit and so it is now And therefore Friend out of love to thy soule I doo advise thee to be silent before the Lord and waite upon him te●● he manifest himselfe to speake in thee and by thee for Friend thy Ministery is in the will of man and thou ministers death unto dead minds and the Ministery which is to the Seed thou art ignorant of to that in thy conscience I speake which shall witnesse for me before the Lord who is appearing in his power to utter his thunders and all Flesh shall tremble at his presence and all Formes of Worship will he dash to pieces at his appearance And yours who is the purest Forme shall be broken to pieces that he may rule who is without forme and comelinesse Now Friends for the Seeds sake have I speaken and written to you and to that in your consciences have I cleared my conscience in the presence of the Lord which you shall Eternally witnesse whether you will heare or forbeare By a Servant of the Lord who is named of the
