THE FLESH BLOOD OF CHRIST BOTH In the Mystery and in the outward briefly plainly and uprightly acknowledged and testified to for the satisfaction and benefit of the tender-hearted who desire to experience the quickning healing and cleansing vertue of it With a Brief Account concerning the People called Quakers in reference both to Principle and Doctrine Whereunto are added some few other things which by the blessing of God may be experimentally found useful to the true Pilgrims and faithful Travellers out of the nature spirit of this World Written in true love and tenderness of Spirit by Isaac Penington And without Controversie great is the Mystery of Godliness God was manifest in the Flesh justified in the Spirit seen of Angels Preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the World received up into glory 1 Tim. 3.16 Of whom are the Fathers and of whom concerning the Flesh Christ came who is over all God blessed for ever Amen Rom. 9.5 Printed in the Year 1675. THE PREFACE HAving been lately at London upon occasion of a Meeting between some of the People called Quakers and some of the People called Anabaptists and other Confederates wherein I was somewhat concerned being charged or brought in by Thomas Hicks in his Second Book of Dialogues called Continuation page 4. To prove that the Quakers account the blood of Christ no more than a common thing And having been at that Meeting to clear my Innocency in that particular but the thing not then coming in question and I being to return to my Habitation in the Country though I staid also a Second Meeting for that purpose it was on my heart in the clearness and Innocency thereof to give forth this Testimony to take of that untruth and calumny of T. H. both from the People called Quakers and my self being both of us greatly therein injured as the Lord God of Heaven and Earth knoweth I have had experience of that despised People for many years and I have often heard them even the ancient ones of them own Christ both inwardly and outwardly Yea I heard one of the ancients of them thus testifie in a publick-Meeting many years since that if Christ had not come in the Flesh in the fulness of time to bear our Sins in his own body on the Tree and to offer himself up a Sacrifice for mankind all mankind had utterly perished What cause then have we to praise the Lord God for sending his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for what his Son did therein O Professors do not pervert our words by reading them with a prejudiced mind quite contrary to the drift of Gods Spirit by us If ye should thus read the Holy Scriptures yea the very words of Christ himself therein and give that wisdom of yours which fights against us scope to comment upon them and pervert them after this manner what a strange and hideous appearance of untruth and contradiction to the very Scriptures of the old Testament might ye make of that wonderful appearance of God For the words of Christ seemed so foolish impossible to the wise men of that Age that they freequently contradicted and sometimes derided him If we be not of God we shall come to nought nay we had not stood to this day if his mighty power had not upheld us We could not have stood inwardly nor could we have stood outwardly against the fierce assaults we have met with both wayes And as we have not had by-ends to move us inwardly so neither have we had by-ends to move us outwardly as our God knoweth O T. H. dost thou believe the eternal judgment at the great day not outwardly only in notion but inwardly in heart O then consider how wilt thou answer it to God for saying so many things in the name of a People as their belief and words which never were spoken by any one of them nor ever came into any of their hearts Innocency in me life in me truth in me the Christian Spirit and Nature in me is a witness against thee that thou wrotest thy Dialogues out of the Christian Nature and Spirit and thy Brethren William Kiffin and the rest who have stood by thee to justifie thee or at least seemed so to do must take notice of these things and condemn them in thee or they will expose themselves and their Religion to the Righteous judgment of God and of all who love Truth and hate Forgery and Deceit I pity thee yea I can truly say I forgive thee the injury thou hast done me though indeed it is very great thus to represent me publickly what thou couldst not have done if thou hadst equally considered the things written in that Book and I also desire that thou mayest be sensible of what thou hast so evilly done and confess it before God that he also might forgive thee O I would not bear the weight of this Sin at the Judgment seat of Christ for Ten thousand Worlds And that these Books should be so long publick and thy Brethren take no notice of them but rather at last apply themselves to justifie thee O how will they answer this thing when they come to answer it for ever Oh what will ye set up an interest against our Lord Christ who is the Truth and teacheth Truth and bend all your strength and understanding to make lies falshoods and forgeries to appear as if they were Truth and not forgeries If ye will judge your selves and repent of these things ye shall not be condemned of the Lord but if ye will go on to cover and hide this great iniquity ye shall not prosper therein As for my particular I had committed my cause to the Lord and intended to have been wholly silent knowing my Innocency will be cleared by him in this particular at the great day and the love truth and uprightness wherein I wrote those things owned by him But in the love of God and in the stilness and tenderness of my Spirit I was moved by him to write what follows And Oh that it would please the Lord to make it serviceable even to T.
