A96978	Testimony for the son of man and against the son of perdition wherein is set forth the faith and obedience of Gods elect, testified by the mouth of the Lord, angels & men. With a true discovery of a bundle of equivocations, confusions, and hyprocisies, in those who call themselves preachers of, and to the light within all men; who yet are so far in darkness themselves, that they acknowledge not the scriptures and ordinances of Jesus Christ, so as to be directed by the one, to the obedience of the other. By Joseph Wright, a servant of Jesus Christ.	Wright, Joseph, 1623-1703.	1661 (1661)	Wing W3706; ESTC R229892	108,801	255

absolutely deny for what Exception to the second Proof Unity hast thou except in iniquity but Unity in the Truth thou hast not for thou dost not hold the Head Christ Jesus from which all the Body by Joynts and Bands having Nourishment ministred and knit together encreaseth with the Encrease of God Col. 2. 19. It is evident that they which hold not the Head Christ Jesus by a Lively Faith that are not united to him by those Joynts and Bands in which there is Nourishment ministred and whereby they are knit together so as to encrease with the Encrease of God they are not in Unity but in Confusion they that are not united unto Jesus Christ by Faith that have not access by him into that grace wherein they stand and rejoyce in hope of the Glory of God those are not in Vnity either with God or one with another in the Truth as it is in Jesus And what Fellowship is available where Fellowship with God in Christ is wanting And what fellowship have such with God that deny his only Son Jesus Christ our Lord that deny his Person that contemn his Ordinances that trample his Word under their Feet as do the Preachers up of the so called Light within But Secondly Neither are you in Unity among your selves but one Preacheth one thing and another Printeth the contrary and this is done by such as are eminent amongst you as for instance One absolutely affirmeth that the Bread and Wine spoken of in the Scriptures and appointed by the Lord Jesus Christ to be Eaten and Drunk in remembrance of him is not Temporal Visible or External Bread and Wine of the same substance with that which men feed upon but that it is Spiritual Invisible and Eternal But is not this Popery Another of great esteem amongst you sayeth in Print That that Bread and Wine is common Bread and Wine yea such as may be eaten not only by Believers at the Lords Supper but even at an unbelievers Feast or by Believers and unbelievers together Now it may be observed by the way that this conclusion undenyably follows the latter Assertion That so often as an unbeliever eateth and drinketh his temporal food so often he eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not discerning the Lords Body if the latter Doctrine be true and if the former be true then some persons may eat and drink damnation to themselves in eating and drinking Spiritual Invisible and Eternal food because they may possibly eat it and drink unworthily as saith the Apostle He that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not discerning the Lords Body 1 Cor. 11. 27 29. Thus are ye divided from the Truth and one from another Again some of you hold that the Bread and Wine which Christ appointed to be received in Remembrance of him untill he come is in this sence to be understood viz. Until he come into you and now he being come into you therefore this Ordinance is ata●n end with you But as this Doctrine is contrary to his that supposeth the Bread and Wine to be spiritual onely and invisible and if it be onely spiritual and eternal why should the spiritual presence of Christ put an end to it as also to his that taketh it to be the common food of unbelievers which Believers also make use of notwithstanding the spiritual presence of Christ with them so is it also to the Doctrine of the Apostles with whom Christ was spiritually present when they by breaking of Bread did shew forth the Lords death as all Believers ought until his Personal coming again according to his Promises And Lo saith he I am with you alwayes even to the end of the World Mat. 28. 20. I go saith he to prepare a place for you and I will come again and receive you to my Self that where I am there ye may be also It is without doubt that Christ was Spiritually present with his Disciples after his Ascention when they did Celebrate this his holy Supper which Spiritual presence of his if that had put an end to it we should not have found the Practice of it so long after his Ascention See Acts 20. 7. Neither had Paul given that direction about it which he did as it is written 1 Cor. 11. 23 24 25 26. Thus are the Preachers up of thee so called Light within divided in their Doctrine for set any two of these opinions together and behold what confusion there is Saith one the Bread and Wine is Spiritual Invisible and Eternal saith the other it is the common visible and temporal food which believers unbelievers do feed upon spiritual saith the one carnal saith the other eternal saith the one Temporal saith the other Invisible saith the one visible saith the other and as you are doctrinally divided so is there personal opposition of one against another one publick Teacher alleth another Dog and yet both owned to be Teachers up of thee so called Light within yea there hath been so great opposition of one of you against anorher that ye have fell out and disowned each other shall I then say ye are in unity no but in confusion rather as saith the Lord by the Prophet Isaiah The wicked are like the troubled Sea when it cannot rest whose waters cast up mire and dirt there is no peace to the wicked saith my God Isai 57. 21. Sect. 3 Thy third proof is thy destroying the Whore the which also I do deny for Exception to the third proof wherein hast thou been instrumental in this Service Were the Popes Nuntio's Legates or his Emissaries the Jesuites banished this Nation by the Preachers up of thee so called Light within Mention the Country in which the Popes indulgencies and Pardons have been stopped by thy Preachings or other endeavours Give us to know when and where thou hast brought a Nation from the worshipping of Cross and Crucifix when didst thou cause them to be pulled down When didst thou discover any Jesuitical design when was Bell Book and Candle Monastries and Abbies Popish Hierarchy and Ceremonies Demolished by thee When wast thou a giver of Liberty to tender Consciences Alas it is very evident that thou that Preachest up to and from thee so called Light within art no destroyer of the Harlot or false Church-State except it be by bringing them from that to a worse condition But Secondly Wilt thou yet say thou destroyest the Whore because thou hast run up and down railing against and cursing the Ministry of this Nation and giving them reviling Language Alas who knows not that it is not reviling Language that convinceth gain-sayers no it is so far from performing that Service that it rather confirms them neither is it because thou perswadest People toleave that kinde of Worship and follow thy Doctrine for there is no destruction of the Whore where there is not a right conversion from her false Church-State but all thy doings in destroying the Whore is as
