A91119 A testimony of the Light within. A glorious truth, which all the holy men of God did bear testimony unto, and from which they spoke forth the Sciptures, and the end of all preachings and writings was to bring to Light within, to worship God in spirit and truth, and to Christ within, the hope of glory. The truth cleared from scandals, and some of the errors and false doctrines of two Cornish teachers laid open and testified against. With a description of the true ministers of Christ, and of the free ministery both under the law and Gospell administration; ... Also a testimony of the dawning of the glorious day of the Lord, ... Here is likewise, in short, declared the differences between the old Covenant, ... & the new covenant, ... Given forth from Christ the light within in love to the souls of all people, ... that they may have union with me in my fathers love ... whose name according to the flesh is Alexander Parker. Written chiefly to the inhabitants of the town and parish of Austell, in the county, of Cornwall, but may serve for any others who are in the same nature and condition with them. Parker, Alexander, 1628-1689. 1657 (1657) Wing P385; Thomason E909_6; ESTC R203124 42,617 54

example for its innocency and shewes that all must become as innocent as little children for whosoever doth not receive the kingdom of God as a little child he shall not enter therein But what example is this for any one to sprinkle wa●er on the innocent childs face or what advantage is it for a proud covetous heady high minded sinfull carnall man to take the innocent little child which is not capable of believing what can his prayers or any thing he doth John 9.31 profit or advantage the innocent child Read without prejudice and let that of God in your consciences judge There is one Lord one Faith one Baptism and that one Baptism I own which is not the putting away of the filth of the flesh but the answer of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Iesus Christ Eph. 4.5 1 Pet. 3.21 Gal. 6.15 1 Cor. 12 13. Heb. 10 22. 1 Pet. 3. 21 For it is neither dipping or sprinkling or not dipping or sprinkling that avails any thing at all but a new creature for that is not the baptism which is outward with the water but baptism is that of the Spirit having the heart sprinkled from an evil conscience the body washed with pure water and as many as are baptized into Christ have put on Christ and in Christ all are one Gal. 3.27.28 And for their Sacrament which they tell people of I deny the Scripture knows no such word as Sacrament but the Supper of the Lord I own and witness which is a spirituall eating and drinking of the Body and Blood of Christ whereby we being many are one bread and one body For the cup of Blessing which we blesse is it not the Communion of the Blood of Christ John 6.56.63 John 8.12 the bread which we break is it not the Communion of the Body of Christ for we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of that one bread 1 Cor. 10.16 This bread is Iesus Christ the light of the world as you may read Iohn 6.35 I am the bread of life I am the living bread that came down from above he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever and he shall not hunger and they that drink of this cup shall never thirst but it shall be a Well of living water springing up unto eternall life John 4.14 But I say That the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to Divels and not to God and I would not that ye should have fellowship with Divels ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of Divels ye cannot be partakers of the Lords Table and of the Table of Divels 1 Cor. 10.21 Now for a company of profane sinfull people as drunkards swearers lyars scoffers scorners proud lofty John 8.44 1 John 3 8. John 6.70 high-minded ones Whoremongers Adultere●s Covetous cruell oppressors and the like for these to meet and eat bread wine and call it a communion I do it deny to be the Communion or Table of the Lord but the Table of Divels Likewise their standing praying before and after their Sermons as they call them and their pulpit and their taking a Text as they call it and add to it the divination of their own brain and speak forth their conceivings and not the word of God these and all or most things that are used and practiced by them in the steeple-house or Idol-Temple are contrary to the practice of the Ministers of Christ and they are to be turned away from for they do not neither shall they profit the people at all for if they had stood in the councell of God they should have turned the people from the evill of their wayes but they run and the Lord never sent them therefore they shal not profit the people at all Jer. 23.32 Thus I have declared and laid open their deceits and contrary walkings to the holy men of God and cleared the truth from their lies and slanders and do deny them and all their way of worship John 4.24 Col. 3.16 John 1.3 1 Cor. 3.3 Phil. 3.3 and do own the worship of God in Spirit and Truth and the Ordinances of God in Spirit preaching praying and singing with the Spirit and with understanding singing with grace and making melody in our hearts to the Lord and Baptism and the Lords Supper and the Scripture in the life and spirituality of them and the Gospel of peace and glad tidings and the word of life and reconciliation I own and witness which separates from sin and joyns to the Lord to be one with him in Sp●rit where a I the children of God have union even in the pure Spirit and love of God and are written in one anothers hearts not with paper and ink but with the Spirit of the living God and are taught of God and worship him in Spirit and rejoyceth in his love and patience for evermore Awake awake all people awake to righteousness and sin not 1 Cor. 15.34 Eph 5.14 R●m 13.12 Luke 21 27 28. Isai 4. chap. 2 Cor 4.6 arise from your dead sleep of carnall security put off the works of darkness and put on the armer of light stand up from the d●ad that Christ may give you light For now is the Lord appearing and arising in his mighty power for the redemption of Sion and to put an end to sin and finish transgression his day is dawned and the glorious light of the everlasting Gospel is broken forth and shines in the hearts of the Lords people the Lord is gathering his scattered-flock together in this his day where they have many years been feeding upon the dry husks and running from mountain to hill and from hill to mountain all this cloudy dark day Now is the Lord coming to bring back again that which was driven away and to seek and to save that which was lost and bring his sheep into the fold of the the true shepheard where the sheep shall lie down in peace and feed together in one fold and the Lord alone will be the Teacher and Feeder of his Flock and no ravenous beast shall pluck them out of his hand for he is the good shepheard that will lay down his life for his sheep John 10 1● and will not flye when the Wolfe comes to devour the Lambs but he doth preserve them all and carries his lambs in his arms and gently leads out all that are with young all his tender babes he seeds with milk and nourishes the tender plants with the water of life and this is the Lord bringing to passe in these our days glory be to his name for evermore he is fulfilling his promises made of old gathering his people into union and fellowship with himself Jer. 23 5 6 7.8 Isai 55 3.4 Psal 2.1 2. Acts 13.40 41 John 15.18 19. where they shall all rejoyce together and be one in the everlasting covenant of love and life
Man is the Lord from heaven There is the first Adam and the second Adam In the first Adam all die and are dead in sins and trespasses and they who be there in that state are full of sin and if they or any of them should say they have no sin they deceive themselves and the truth is not in them but all who are born again of the immortall seed are kept by the power of God and the wicked one toucheth them not for whosoever abides in Christ doth not commit sin for whosoever sinneth hath not seen him neither known him he that doth righteousnes is of God and he that doth commit sin is of the Div●ll therefore be not deceived for God will not be mocked with your words it is not your saying Lord Lord nor your customary worship and outside seeming holiness it will not cover your nakednes nor bring peace to your souls as long as you live in sin for if yee live after the flesh yee shal die and reap corruption but if ye through the Spirit do mortifie the deeds of the body then shall yee live But some whose eyes are blinded by the God of this world stumble because it is said If We say c. the Apostle takes in himself Now this I say That the Apostles many times do come down to the capacities of others when they themselves have passed through such conditions As for example James the Apostle in the third chapter of his Epistle speaking of the unruliness of the tongue though it is but a little yet it is an unruly member full of deadly poyson therewith bless we God even the Father therewith curs we men which are made after the similitude of God Here we may see James said We but he himself was no curser but redeemed from it and this I instanced to Halls and them present at that time and he said though he was not one he had been a curser and I told him so had Iohn been a sinner and so have we all sinned and if we say we have not sinned we make him a lyar Iohn 17.9 10. But if we confesse our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness Mark he doth not say from part but from all sins for if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin and they who deny the light within and deny the freedom from sin deny Christ and the end of his coming and would make his blood of none effect and freely from the Lord do I testifie against all such as Ministers of Anti-christ and they have made a Covenant with Hell and Death and no longer time will serve but term of life they tell people they must live in sin and never be without sin while they live and flatter them with a vain hope of going to heaven when there is but this hope which doth not purifie their hearts is the hope of the Hypocrite Isai 28.15 Iob 8 13 11.20 Mat. 15.30 which shall perish and their end will be wo and utter darkness the portion of all such who live in their sins Therefore fear the Lord and let every one that nameth the name of Jesus Christ depart from iniquity 2 Tim. 2 19. Further the same time Will. Vpcot affirmed that there was no Ministers of the Spirit now which thing I did deny Isai 50.2 Heb. 13 8. and do affirm it to be false for God is the same now as formerly and Jesus Christ is the same to day as yesterday and the spirit is the same and all who are made Ministers by the will of God 2 Cor. 3.6 2 Cor. 2.4 1 Cor. 5 19. Isal 61,2 are Ministers of the Spirit and of power and declare the word of life and reconciliation and ministers peace and glad tydings to imprisoned souls and condemnation and the day of vengeance upon all Oppressors which keeps the Seed in bondage He further said that Paul was not a Minister of the Spirit which thing is likewise false and a lie and blasphemy to affirm read 2 Cor. 3.6 and there you may read the Apostles Testimony where he saith Who also hath made us able Ministers of the New Testament not of the Letter but of the Spirit Here it is evidently manifest that Paul was a Minister of the Spirit therefore all that say he was not are lyars Iohn 8.44 Rev 21.18 but William Vpcot did say that Paul was not a Minister of the Spirit therefore he is a lyar and so of the Devil let the Scripture be a testimony against him Further he the said William Vpcot said that the Scriptures were the Gospel and I asked him what part and he said the New Testament Matthew Mark Luke and John and the Epistles and he said further that all the whole Scripture was the Gospel All which I deny the Scriptures are but the report Luke 1.1 and fame of the Gospel but not the Gospel for the Gospel is a Mistery and cannot be bought for money but the Scriptures which is a declaration may be bought for a smal sum of money therefore not the Gospel for the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation unto every one that doth believe Rom. 1.16 For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith as it is written the just shall live by faith for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness because that which may be known of God is manifest in them for God hath shewed it unto them verse 17 18 19. The Gospel is glad tydings to captive and weary souls which those that preached the Gospel did witness the Redemption of Isa 51 1 2. Rom 3.24 Ephes 1 7. and the bonds of iniquity was broken and the oppressed set free and this Gospel the power of God unto salvation was in the beginning before all time and was manifest in the holy men of God from which the Scriptures were declared and spoken forth and they are a declaration of the Gospel the power of God unto salvation but they are not the Gospel the power of God unto salvation Several other things was spoken at that time but these are sufficient that I have here set down to all who love their souls and are not wilfully blind to try their spirits to be contrary to the spirit of truth and so to be turned away from as the Ministers of Christ exhorts 2 Tim. 3.1 c. and to them I did speak and warn them to give over deceiving of the people and told them the judgements of God would come upon them Mat 10.14 and shaked off the dust of my feet as a testimony against them and came away being several times bidden go forth and threatned to be put forth and some that was
head is sick and the whole heart faint from the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it but wounds bruises and putrifying soars they have not bin closed neither bound up neither mollified with oyntment To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me saith the Lord I am full of the burnt offerings of Rams and the fat of fed beasts and I delight not in the blood of Bullocks or of Lambs or of he Goats when you come before me who hath required this at your hands Bring no more vain Oblations Incense is an abomination unto me the New Moon and Sabbaths the calling of Assemblies I cannot away with it is iniquity even the solemn meeting your New Moons and your appointed Feasts my soul hateth they are a trouble to me I am weary to hear them and when you spread forth your hands I will hide mine eyes from you when yee make many prayers I will not hear your hands are full of blood wash ye make you clean put away the evill of your doings from before mine eyes cease to do evill learn to do well seek judgement relieve the oppressed judge the Fatherless and plead for the Widow c. Now you people of all sorts who makes a profession of God and call together Assemblies examine your selves truly and see if you be not in the condition of those whom the prophet cryes against Mat 7.22 23. Are you not revolted from the Lord Are you not a sinfull people laden with iniquity a seed of ev●ll doers Have not you provoked the Lord to anger by your unrighteous walking Are not you corrupted with sin from the sole of the foot even to the head Can you deny these things Nay I have heard some of you confesse this in words Then to what purpose is your Sabbaths and your solemn meetings as your calling of Assemblies your dayes of humiliation as you call them and your Lecture dayes and your long prayers who hath required these things at your hands It is all burdensom to the Lord and he cannot away with it it is in quity even your solemn meetings and your prayers are abomination and the Lord will not hear them for your hands are full of blood you are full of envy Mat. 23 14. Deut. 32.29 Isal 47.7 8 9 Luke 11.49 Oh when will yee lay these things to heart and consider and depart from iniquity and relieve the oppressed and undo the heavy burdens and plead the cause of the innocent and not send to prison nor persecute the his innocent servants It is not your saying Lord Lord nor your hypocriticall prayers nor outside holinesse that will avail you nor cover your nakedness in the day of the Lord therefore cease from your sin and your ungodliness and learn the wayes of righteousness that your souls may live Isaiah 55.1 2 3. Again read Isaiah 66.1 2 3. There you may see how the Prophet declared against the Temple and the Sacrifices which were outward Thus saith the Lord Heaven is my Throne and the Earth is my Footstool where is the House that ye build unto me and where is the place of my rest c. He that kitleth an Ox is as if he slew a Man he that sacrificeth a Lamb as if he cut off a Dogs neck he that offereth an Oblation as if he offered Swines blood he that burneth Incense as if he blessed an Idoll yea they have chosen their own wayes and their soul delighteth in their abominations Consider and let this judge you who have forsaken the wayes of the Lord and have chosen your own wayes and delights in your abominations Mat. 15.8 9 the Lord wall plead with you And Jeremiah cryed against those that trusted in lying words that lived in oppression and sin Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel Amend your lives and your doings and I will cause you to dwell in this Trust yee not in lying words saying The Temple of the Lord the Temple of the Lord the Temple of the Lord are these For if ye throughly amend your wayes and your doings if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his Neighbour if ye oppress not the stranger the Fatherless and the widow and shed not innocent blood then will I cause you to dwell in this place Jer. 7.3 4 5 6 1 Cor. 1.14 1 Cor 1.30 Mat. 7.12 7. Let this judge you all that trust in lying words crying the Church of Christ and the Ordinance of Christ and the Ministery of the Gospel and so makes a great noise and talk of words for these things are not known to you while you live in the old nature but if yee throughly amend your wayes and put off the Old man with his deeds and put on the New man Christ-Jesus then shall the Church of Christ be known and all the ordinances of Christ lived in in the life and power of them but not while you live in sin And again Mica 66.7 8. the Prophet Mica he saw through the Figures and saw the upright and just life which the Lord required as you may read in Mica 6.6 7 8. Wherewith shall I come before the Lord and bow my self before the high God Shall I come before him with burnt offerings with Calves of a year old Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of Rams or with ten thousand of Rivers of Oyl Shall I give my first born for my transgression the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul He hath shewed thee O man what is good and what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and love mercy and towalk humbly with thy God These examples I bring that you may see how the Lord did send his Servants and Prophets to cry against deceit and hypocrisie and against those that made a profession but were out of the life and possession And those whom the Lord thus sent they were hated by those whom they declared against in the time of their testimony And afterward another generation comes and cryes up their words as the Prophets in the time of their prophesie they were hated but after their death another generation gets their words but still persecuteth alike And this was manifest in the dayes of Christ Heb. 8.1 when he was manifest in the Flesh who was the substance of Moses Types and the end and life of the Prophets he was hated by the Jewes Chief Priests Scribes and Pharisees who had gotten the words and painted themselves with Moses and the Prophets words and cryed up the Prophets building their Tombs and garnishing the Sepulchers of the Righteous and condemned their forefathers for killing of the prophets and yet these were them that crucified the Son of God Matth. 12.2 who was the life and substance of those things which they upheld which were outward and typicall but though they made a fair shew and large profession and were zealous for their Sabbath
