For which the word the prophets, apostles, and servants of the Lord, obeying, and bearing their testimony thereunto, have suffered by all generations of men, cruel mockings, stripes, bonds, and imprisonments, by the Egyptians, Philistians, Babylonians, Caldeans, idolaters, back-sliders, Roman Papists, and in generall, the heathen that know not Christ Jesus to be the word of the Lord. ... / Written by him, who is known by the name of Henry Clark.

that this is an holy man of God that passeth by us continually let us make him a little Chamber I pray thee and let us set him there a bed and a table and a stoole and a candlestick that he may turn in thither when he cometh to us and it fell on a day that when he came thither he lay there Or will you follow the example of Iezebel who said of Elijah So let the gods do to me and more also if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time and Iezebel slew the prophets of the Lord Have you followed the example of Ioshua Or do you follow the example of the uncircumcised Philistines who put Sampson in prison and bound him with fetters of brass Have you followed the example of Gideon Or do you follow the example of Zedekiah who at the request of his princes Jeremiah the prophet of God was put in the dungeon Have you followed the example of David a man after Gods own heart who received the message of God by the prophet Nathan who said to the King Thou art the man Or do you not follow the example of Herod the Tetrarch who Iohn Baptist told it is not lawful for thee to have thy Brother Philips wife he sent him to prison Have you followed the example of Hezekiah who said to the Prophet Isajah Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken Or do you not follow the example of Herod the King who when he had killed James with the Sword and saw it pleased the Jews he put Peter the Apostle of Christ in prison and have not some of you put the quakers in prison because you saw it pleased the priests that take tithes and preach for hire and divine for money gifts and rewards Do you follow the example of Jehoshaphat Or have you not followed the example of the Roman Governours and Magistrates who caused Paul and Silas to be whipt and put in the Prison and to be kept safe with their feet made fast in the Stocks Is the same minde in you which was in Christ Jesus who went alwayes about doing good Or are you not in the same nature that the Babylonians and the Chaldeans were in who cast Shadrach Meshek and Abednigo into the fiery Fornace and Daniel into the Lyons Den And seeing that ye have done so much as you have Is there not the same minde in some of you as was in the bloudy Papists in Queen Maries dayes to do as they did if you had but a Law to put that in execution upon those people that are called quakers as they did by the Martyrs And seeing that the Philistines put out Sampsons eyes could not you and the Priests wish that the eyes of those people called quakers were put out that they might neither see to write more nor to go about the land from City to City and from one place to another to cry out against the Priests and false Prophets and the abominations of the Heathen for the which they rage against the Truth and them that do declare it AND now unto all you both Magistrates and people who have acted such things as is before written upon those people which are called quakers To that of God in every one of your Consciences that bears me witness do appeal Are you all Christians as you call your selves or have you acted like Christians The Disciples of Christ were called Christians and they were Christians indeed who did no such things as ye have done Acts 11.26 2 Cor. 5.17 Phil 2.5 2 Pet. 1.4 For I know that if any man be in Christ he is a new Creature and the same minde is in him as was in Christ Jesus and in his measure he is like Christ holy as he is holy meek and lowly dwelling in love and peace doing to all men as he would be done unto himself but I know the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews and are not and the blasphemy of those that say they are Christians and are not but are in the same nature that the Sodomites Egyptians Philistines Babylonians Idolaters and Heathens were in and are doing the same works and committing the same abominations that they committed and yet you would be accounted Christians and think with your selves that you are good Christians But ye are all made manifest and seen with the Light Eph. 5.13 Rom. 6.16 and by the Children of the Light what you are and what you all have done and whom you also serve for his Servants you are whom you obey Whoso committeth sin transgresseth also the Law i John 3.4.8 verses for sin is the transgression of the Law which is holy just and good and written in the heart and he that committeth sin is of the devill for the Devil sinneth from the beginning For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the Works of the Devil Therefore while you have time prize it and repent of the evill of your doings and turn to the Lord God who is gracious merciful and longsuffering and patient in forbearing and hearken to the Word which is nigh you in your heart and in your mouth and obey his Commandments Loving the Lord God with all your hearts with all your souls and your neighbour as your self doing to all men as you would be done unto Christ Jesus is the Light of the World learn of him who is meek and lowly He is the way the truth and the life and no man cometh to the Father but by him and whoso followeth him shall not walk in darkness but shall have the Light of Life therefore if you wil be his Disciples and Christians deny your selves take up the Cross and follow him that you may have life for to as many as receive him and beleeve on his Name to them he gives power to become the Sons of God and the Sons of God are led by the Spirit of God into all Truth and Righteousness Therefore let the Spirit of God guide you to run with cheerfulness the Race that Christ hath set before you despising the shame counting it greater Riches to suffer afflictions with the children of God rather then to injoy the pleasures of sin for a season Therefore let every one that nameth the Name of JESUS depart from iniquity and take not the Name of God in vaine For the feare of the Lord is the beginning of VVisdome Psal 2. i0 ii i2 Exod. 22.21 22 chap.

VVorld yea the true Light that inlightneth every one that cometh into the world VVhosoever followeth him shall not walk in Darkness but shall have the Light of life and to as many as receive him and beleeve on his Name to them he gives power to become the Sons of God but these whose Understanding is darkned even such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death the Light shineth in the darkness but the darkness comprehendeth it not but al things that are reproved are made manifest by the Light the Light makes sin manifest in the understanding and convinceth of sin and condemns sin in the conscience but those that walk in darkness hate the Light and will not bring their deeds to it because they are evill and the Light reproves them and to such the Light is their condemnation Therefore take heed to this Light which shineth in a dark place untill the day dawn and the Day-star arise in your hearts while you have the Light beleeve in the Light John 12.36 1 Thess 5.7 that ye may become the children of the Light and the children of the Day who bear witness to the Light Iohn a man sent of God to bear witness of the Light who said that was the true Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world And David he bare witness and said The Lord is my light and my lamp he will inlighten my darkness he is my salvation and the strength of my life and again said he Psal 72. i. 2 Sam. 22.39 John 1.1.5 Isa 49.6 60.19 20. Luke 2.31 32. John 1.10 11 17 verses Thy VVord is a Lamp unto my feet and a light unto my pathes And John said God is Light and in him is no darkness at all And Isaiah said The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting Light and thy God thy glory Christ is given for a Light to the Gentiles and for salvation to the ends of the earth to which Simeon bore witness and said Mine eyes have seen thy salvation which thou hast prepared before the face of all people a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel which Light was in the beginning and is come to his own and his own received him not he is in the world and the world was made by him and the world knows him not by whom Grace and Truth is come CHRIT JESUS Thirdly Seeing that Christ is the Light of the world Isa 55.3 John 5.25 and the VVord of God which is to be hearkned unto and obeyed therefore unto him hearken and hear that your souls may live For they that hear the voice of the Son of God they shall live the word is nigh thee in thy heart and in thy mouth Dute. 13.14 Eccles 2.14 Prov. 4.23 Coll. 1.27 Rom. 12.5 1 Cor. 8.6 John 17.23 Rom. 10.6 7 8.
