but as we are witnesses of it through the leadings of the same Spirit for you are not ignorant how many bad reports hath been raised and spread abroad concerning us crying Report and we will Report and so have Reports been spread in the Nation of the Quakers rising and cutting Throats which are bad Reports yet we have gone thorow them in Patience having no guilt upon us concerning them but stand clear before the Lord our God and in our innocency are justified in his sight How are we counted Deceivers by the wise Generation and yet we are born into the Truth and walk in the Truth and live the life of Truth and we know the freedom that is wrought by it and we have the seal of Gods Spirit which hath revealed it in our inward parts and this we go through in the leadings of God in whom we have peace how often hath death been threatned to us by unreasonable men and yet we are preserved in the power of God and live before him and thus do we walk as a despised and an afflicted people and yet we are led through all and in the Power of God walks upon the top of all and stand over all those things and heed them not for our delight is in the Lord our God and in his righteous Law we meditate day and night that our minds may be exercised unto him in that which is pure of him that gives us peace with him seals assurance of his everlasting love unto us So we mind not who are against us or what is reported concerning us or how we are counted in this World but we mind the light of Christ manifest in our Consciences and in the light our Minds are exercised and with the light all evil Thoughts are judged and we are justified before our God though the world be against us taking Counsel what Course to take with us and many fretting themselves about us yet we do not frowardly strive with any man but follow peace with all men and in peace we are preserved when our Enemies are confounded and over-turned by the Arm of God Behold and see ye Despisers what a work is this how can you believe when it is declared that God should plead the Cause of his Chosen People and make bare his Arm for his innocent Lambs and by his invisible Power to over-turn the mighty Councels of men when neither Sword nor Spear hath been on our side nor any thing without us hath appeared for us then hath our God been neer at hand and a present help he hath been unto us and with his out-stretched Arm he hath from time to time delivered us from the wrath of unreasonable men and thus we have experienced his everlasting loving kindness and his wonderful Works we are made to declare amongst the Children of Men that all may know there is no God like unto our God unto whom alone we look and our eye is towards him and we cannot joyn with weapons of War nor with any Party who is striving with them but we set all men aside in the Work of our God and cannot meddle with other mens matters but looks unto the Lord and cries unto the God of our strength and our eye is single to him and our expectation is from him alone and he hath never failed us but hath appeared to deliver us and in the strength of his own life hath wrought our Works for us and with the Arm of his Salvation he hath saved us unto whom be Glory Dominion and Praise for evermore Now all People see and Consider what is the ground that you appear so full of Enmity against a People that neither threatens you nor appears against you nor bears no evil will unto you Is it because you are in fear of your persons and that we seek to destroy you from off the Earth Then let the Offence cease and be quiet in your Minds for we stand clear before our God and in our Innocency are Justified in his sight and neither our Hearts nor Hands have joyned nor can joyn with such a Work Therefore be not afraid where no Fear is nor be not Envious from groundless Jealousies but mind the Light of Christ in your Consciences and wait to receive the Love of God in it that you may cease from anger wrath malice or bearing evil will unto a People who walks innocently before the Lord and towards all men And that which troubles you and is a terrour to you and brings fear upon you it is your own consciences for there is your trouble terrour and fear and it will terrifie you and fearfulnesse will surprize you who are in the hypocrisie for it is the same that passed through Aegypt of old and wrought mighty signes and wonders upon Pharaoh and all the Aegyptians who stood in their hard-heartednesse and would not obey the Lord nor let Israel go though God sent Moses to lead them out of Aegypt and from under Pharaohs power yet he withstood the Lord and his heart was hardened against the mighty God until every house was searched and the first-born was smitten and died and then there was a cry amongst the Aegyptians and great fear was upon the Land and then was the time come in which Israel should be set free you must read that can for he that wrought then is working at this day to break off the yoke that the oppressed may be set free and he will not leave a House amongst you but he will passe through it smite the first-born in it that his Seed may come forth from under your cruel oppression And this I have received of the Lord and declares it in the Auth●●ity of God that all may dread before the Holy One of Israel and if your enmity arise towards us concerning the Law of our God which in our hearts he hath written and is holy Just and good and that you cannot receive Truth as it is made known unto us by the Revelation of Jesus Christ Then be still in your mindes and wait to receive Counsel from God and be not rash nor forward in an envious spirit but be coole and moderate that you may receive an understanding in the things of God for we dare not deny the Truth which God hath made manifest in us whatever you can do unto us and if Truth offend you then are we clear from the offence for Truth gives not offence but the wicked one takes offence at Truths appearance and so the offence comes of your selves and the wo is to you who takes offence at the Truth and turns against the little Ones that are borne into the life of it and offends them by your cruelty and oppression Therefore let it be well considered what Truth is and who they be that are come to the knowledge of it and walks in it that whiles you are warring and fighting about that which you call Truth ye be not ignorant what Truth is and so set
