Moderate and basely Treacherous to their Ancient Friends If being Base to God and Men can render Men Christian then they deserve to be so accounted of But till Religion cometh to be read Backwards let them go for Enemies to Christianity and Murderers of Natural Affection To conclude OUr Ministry is of God it stands in the Power of the Living Spiritual Gift of God to testifie against all Ungodliness And if any Particular has ever slipt and brought Dishonour to the Truth such hath been Reproved in Righteousness and only Received upon Unfeigned Repentance which is God's Way But to Publish Proclaim and Aggravate Miscarriages of Any to the World who profess Religion committed many years ago Examin'd Judg'd and they Forgiven upon Repentance by the Lord and therefore Received again by us and all this done with Design to Blast our Credit Disgrace the Way we profess though they were no way concerned to meddle or interpose To do all this I say is not to be acted by the Spirit of God but That of an Accursed Ham and Treacherous Judas and the Lord will avenge our Cause we doubt not in due time But an Hainous Blasphemy is laid to the Memory of Josiah Coale by this Angry Agent in behalf of these Apostates and that is a Passage in a Letter writ anciently by him in his Life-time to G. Fox viz. That G. F. was the Father of many Nations But what Blasphemy is in this Is it any more then to say That by him as an Instrument in the Hand of God People of many Nations have been by him begotten to God Was not Paul a Father of many Nations who begot the Corinthians that were Greeks and the Romans that were Latins But further Whose Life hath reached through us thy Children even to the Isles afar off to the begetting of many again unto a lively Hope for which Generations to come shall call thee Blessed Very well And what Blasphemy lodges in these Words Is not that which is the Life of one Good Man the Life of another Were not the Christians of old by One Spirit baptized into One Body What Life G. F. had was from Christ Jesus and it was no other Life J. Coale writ of And I hope The Life of Christ is one in All and who can limit it And Josiah Coals with others were Children in the Sense afore-mentioned and that Life through those Children by him instrumentally begotten did reach to those Isles afar off unto which he and others went to preach the Everlasting Gospel Paul reached to the Churches though afar off 2 Cor. 13 10. He was Present in Spirit though Absent in Body for I verily as Absent in Body BUT PRESENT IN SPIRIT have judged already as though I were present In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ when ye are gathered and MY SPIRIT in the Power of the Lord Jesus Christ cast forth and taken in too upon Repentance without going to the Lord Major and Aldermen 1 Cor. 5.3 4. His Life and Hope was through Timothy Titus and others extended unto many And why shall not Generations to come call an Apostle Blessed and bless the Name of the Lord for him respecting the Benefit any such one might be in God's Power to a People Is not the Memory of the Just Blessed Prov. 10.7 And did not the Lord by his Prophet say of Israel his People I will make thee an Eternal Excellency and the Joy of many Generations Isa 60.57 What if J. Coale had so spoak of G. F. and God's Israel now Would it have been Blasphemy But these Err not knowing the Scriptures nor the Power of God like the Jews of old But yet again whose Being and Habitation is in the Power of the Highest And so is the Being and Habitation of every Child of God or else he is in the Power of the Lowest the God of the World whose Habitation is in Darkness Are we not to turn away from such as stand not in the Power of Godliness And did not the Apostle go to turn People from the Power of Satan unto the Power of God which is the Power of the Highest And is it notwithstanding Blasphemy to stand in it or testifie of one that doth stand in it that he doth so stand Oh the Idle Opposition but great Envy of our Enemies They seek nothing less then the Blood of this Upright Man as the next Words and their Aggravation of them prove In which Thou Rulest Governest in Righteousness and thy Kingdom is establisht in Peace and the Increase thereof is without End Upon this our Adversary takes frequent Occasion scoffingly to call him King George suggesting him to be so vile an Impostor as to assume unto himself the Compleat and Peculiar Dignity Dominion and Authority due to Christ See Pag. 53 54 55. Which Blasphemy I am of the Mind our Adversary thinks deservedly Punishable after the Severest Sort of Death But he unworthily traduceth that Good Man and layes the Harmless Scripture-Expressions of a departed Servant of the Lord upon the Tenters or Rack that he may stretch them to his own Vile and Bloody Purposes Hath this Man forgot that there were ever such Passages writ as these The Good Seed are the Children of the KINGDOM Mat. 13.28 The KINGDOM of God is within Luke 17.20 The Saints shall JUDGE the World 1 Cor. 6.2 3. But ye are a ROYAL Priesthood 1 Pet. 9.2 And thou the Lamb hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS and we shall RAIGN on the Earth Rev. 5.10 And I appoint unto you a KINGDOM as my Father hath appointed unto me that ye may Eat and Drink at my Table in the Kingdom and JUDGE on Thrones the Twelve Tribes of Israel Luke 22.29 30. It is the Father's good Pleasure to give you a KINGDOM Luke 12.23 who hath translated us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son 1 Col. 13. the Untranslated therefore Rage Wherefore we have received a KINGDOM that cannot be shaken Hebr. 12.28 they then had it I beheld and the same Horn made War with the Saints and prevailed against them untill the Ancient of Dayes came and JUDGMENT was given to the SAINTS of the Most High and Time came that the SAINTS POSSESSED THE KINGDOM WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM Dan. 7.21 22 27. By all which it is manifest that it is the Priviledge of every Saint and Child of God to be a King a Royal Priest to bave a Kingdom and to Rule Govern and Raign in Righteousness and Peace without End So that Josiah Coale and every Heir and Co heir with Christ Rom. 8.17 doth as well Raign in an Everlasting Kingdom of Righteousness as G. F. doth or shall do for we have One Faith One Baptism One Power One Lord One Kingdom Where let it be noted that by all these Titles and Priviledges we only mean and understand Dominion over Not Bodies nor Souls Not Flesh nor Blood but in the Sense of the Apostle Ephes 6.12
