Otherwise, an answer to a book set forth by one that subscribes his name Edmund Skipp, preacher of the Gospel (as he saith) to a people at Bodenham in Herefordshire; but is found one that is acting Antichrists part disguised: but nakedly seen, & herein discovered in this answer to his book, called the Worlds wonder, or the Quakers blazing-starre. And in this answer he is discovered, and proved to be one that is chief in the service of the old dragon: who pretends in his book to discover the mystery of the Quakers, as he calls them, and to lay open a dangerous design: who is found out, that whilst he hath been pretending to be chief in discovering a plot, or Antichrists misterious actings, is found himself to be the chief plotter, ... / Written in Worcestershire by a servant of the Lord, the second moneth called April, 1655.

Saints words but are enemies to the Saints conditions On consider consider the Lord is just in all his wayes and he is come to judge the earth with righteousness he will plead with all flesh before him all faces shall gather blackness and in him who is pure light are all the secrets of all hearts laid open for nothing hideth from him who is a God of consuming fire and of purer eyes then to behold iniquity Oh be ashamed and confounded all ye Inhabitants of the earth and of the Sea for the Devil is come down unto you and rageth because his time is but short To thy first in page 6. where thou sayest it must needs be the spirit of Antichrist and delusion that doth misinform the heart I answer the heart it selfe is deceitful and out of the abundance of thy heart thy mouth speaketh page 8. or else thou wouldest not speak as though a deceitful heart might be misinformed by a delusion for deceit and delusion is but one which lodgeth in the hearts of all the Children of disobedience who are all in the death the curse and the fall unless they come to witness restoration the stony heart taken away and a new heart given which is by the putting off the old man with his Iusts and corruptions and the new man put on which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. But in the light in thy own Conscience see when thou couldest witness thy redemption and thy heart free from delusions as thou speakest or from the power or darkness when thou by thy own relation to me went from one Parsonage to another and that not without thy Gown as thou callest it upon thy back that thou hast looked upon as it was indeed Antichristian and then after at Bodinham thou didst sue the poor people for tithes to my knowledge witness one poor man thou didst sue for 1 s. and would have constrained the poor man to have paid charges for that 1 s. if I and some other had not spoke to thee after thou hadst often refused the 1 s. without charge thou the light let thee see tithes to be contrary to Christ yet then lived contrary to the light in thy own Conscience as thou wast made to confess in my hearing and hundreds more that thou hadst acted in it contrary to thy conscience two years and before that time thou didst confess unto me and to others how thou was going to take counsel of men how to sue for thy tithes and the Lord met with thee yet the De●il had like to have taken thee off of the work of the Lord again divers times as thou confessed then thou layest groaning under the burden of thy tithes yet thou resolvest to keep them another year yet I had thoughts to the contrary and was made to tell thee at Jo. Ba. his house in Hereford on the sixth day that thou wouldest ere long roar against thy tithes like a Lion and on the next first day after it was so and thou wast made to acknowledge the Lord in it and sent thy man with those few words to me Brother Smith the Lord hath done a strange work in me this morning and I shall alter strangely this day therefore pray earnestly for me and make what haste thou canst to come unto me now this is that which thou now calles delusion for this was the greatest power that ever thou couldest witness but thou was made to see by the light the emptiness of thy own words both in speaking and prayer before as thou callest it witness that in Margarets Graves yard where thou spokest words the which were a burthen to thy life and after acknowledged that it was nothing but flesh though thou didst strive much in thy own strength and at Len. thou toldest the whole assembly that thou had long spoke after the manner of men but now they must expect no more such from thee and that thy praying was as dead as ditch-water but now thou shouldest wait to pray in the spirit and speak by the spirit and the like at Cliston and then thou was convinced that thou must leave all even Glebe-land too and so live on thy own Land and build on thy own Land as thou callest it and thou then was convinced of more deceit in thy heart therefore thou wast not at all freed from deceit but alwayes lived in the Antichristian state where thou art yet witness thy own hand in page 5. where thou confessest thou hast got a sinful heart which is a heart got in sin and full of sin and we know that none but the pure in heart shall see God but sin is of the Devil and is the work of darkness and none that walketh in darkness have fellowship with God 1 John 1.6 here thou discoverest plainly that the old heart is not yet taken away therefore thou wast not at all nor yet is free from delusions therefore for shame leave off thy judging the hearts of others as thou hast Read Skipp page 6.11.19.16 As for the five charges which you mention page 9. and saying that if we had had more accusations against thee its like thou should have had them and in saying the first charge was hypocrisie in page 7. I answer that that which was written by me in answer to thy deceitful lines first sent to us that which I shall for the sake of the simple set down plainly in the same order as it was written by me having a just Copy of it by me and then let the tender spirited read thy lies in thy own book A true Copy of the Answer sent by me and the rest to thy Letter and Accusation 1. YOu said you would tell us truly c. Answ There cannot be a true discovery of truth brought forth in those that are yet in the fallen estate as thou art 2. That there is a mystery of iniquity in us that we see not Answ The Mystery of Iniquity is not discovered but by the pure light and life of God as it is freely given forth from God the which light all the Children of light liveth in but thou livest in the dark wayes of the world and liveth not in this pure light to judge by 3. That the time is come that thou shouldest disburthen thy self of the discovery of truth Answ Thou hast laid aside too much truth that which convinced of thy evil is now a burthen unto thee but we disown all that disown the truth 4. That the Devil is an Angel of light and his nature is to act in the light make Doth the Scripture say that devils nature is to act in the light Answ Thou art imagining what the Devil is without thee but thou knowes but little of his actings in thee although thou art his Servant and livest in his light as thou callest it but the light of life thou art a stranger unto 5. The light as it is acted in the soul
