the unlearned which are strangers from his conditions who reads them with the carnal eye now perverts and wrests to their own destruction and this we witness who through the Lamb our Saviour do reign above the World Death Hel and the Devil but none can witness this whose eye is outward looking at a Redeemer a farre off and still live in sin but who cannot witnesse this Redemption here must never witnesse it for as the tree falls so it lies and sin is the mark of the Beast and who lives in sin hath the mark of the Beast and bears his Image and it is written that the Beast and false Prophets and all that have his Mark or Image must be cast into the Lake that burneth and must drink of the wine of the wrath of the Almighty powred out without mixture But as for that Scripture that saith If we say we have no sin we deceive our selves and the truth is not in us All have sinned and fallen from the Lord and he that hath sin and saith he hath no sinne deceiveth himself and is a lyar but if he confesse and forsake his sin God is faithful and just to forgive him his sin and to cleanse him from all unrighteousness and this John witnessed and he that can witness this is no lyar if he say he is cleansed from all unrighteousness but witness forth the truth and a perfect Redemption and the same John sayd He that is born of God sins not neither can he sin because his seed remaineth in him and he that sinnes is of the Devil and n●ver knew God By this are the children of God and the children of the Devil made manifest this John witnessed he was no lyar neither did deceive himself but spoke the truth and the same John said God is light and in him is no darkness at all If we say we have fellowship with God and walk in darknesse we lye and doe not the truth but if we walk in the light we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Christ cleanseth us from all sin this John witnessed he was no lyar neither did deceive himself and this John sayd He that hath hope in him purifieth himself even as he is pure and faith in God purifieth the heart Now try your Faith and hope who plead for sin for sin lodgeth in the heart and while there is sin the heart is unclean now here you may see al your faith is vain your hope which doth not purifie the heart and so it is feigned hypocrites faith not faith in God and so perisheth and who can witness Christ died for them have passed through death for none can live with him but those who dye with him and this is the true Baptism to be baptized into his death by one spirit into one body and how can they that are dead to sin live any longer therein and who can witnesse this hath faith in him which purifieth the heart and removes mountains and the pure in heart sees God and this the Apostles witnessed that he was made free from sin and more than Conqueror through Faith in Christ Jesus he was no lyar and said that Christ was come to redeem unto himself a pure Church not having spot or wrinkle and though once they were sinners like the world but they were washed and cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus and the spirit of our God and had put off the Old man and put on the New which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness but this you are strangers from who plead for sin are such as call your selves a Church and are not but the synagogue of Sathan in whom the Prince of darknesse reigns which ruleth in the children of disobedience and as for that which blinde people calls Scripture who sayes The righteous man that is sins seven times a day there is no such Scripture for it is false but though the righteous fall he riseth again by repentance and this the holy men of God witnessed and though David through lust disobeyed the Lord and forgot his God yet he rose again by repentance and after witnessed that he walked in the midst of his house in the purenesse of his spirit and though Peter sinned through weaknesse yet he rose againe by repentance and afterward exhorted the Church to be holy as God is holy but this you cannot witness who plead for sin and are not yet come to repentance but denies Christ daily and are convinced but doth not repent but they who dwel in the righteousness of Christ sin not for they that are alive in righteousness are dead to sin and they that live in sinne are dead to righteousness but how can they that are dead to sin live any longer therein and this is the Devil which pleads for sin the enemy of the soul for by sin did he obtain his kingdome and so his kingdome stands in sin and your Teachers which tels you you can never get out of sin nor be cleansed from sin here erres not knowing the Scripture nor the power of God but denies the end of Christs coming and brings another doctrine which they have from their Father the Devil and so are the deceivers which Paul speakes of who creep into Steeple-houses leads silly people captive full of sin and corruption ever learning and never come to the knowledge of truth and so are not to be received but held as accursed for they daub you up with untempered mortar seeing vanity and divining lyes who saith the Lord saith when he never spoke to them they have healed the hurt of the people slightly and have sowed pillows under their armholes crying peace when there is no peace because they put into their mouthes and they are not ashamed neither doe they blush therefore they shall fall amongst them that fall in the day that I visit them saith the Lord And these are your Teachers that makes you habitation in your sin while you are upon the earth and so your Leaders cause you to erre but when the day of account comes wherein the bookes must be opened and every one judged out of the books according to their works by him who sits upon the white Throne and all must be cast into the Lake that burneth but those whose names are written in the book of life and then you will finde those the utter enemies of your soules who perswades your hearts in sins and he that hath no sin will be in the best condition and here all your feigned formed faith is unbottomed and all your Priests found lyars deceivers and Anti-christs in whom the false Prophet rules which deceives the Nations who must be cast also into the Lake that burneth and there tormented for ever and all that uphold him We are accused to deny Christ come in the flesh We witness the same Christ which ever was
A Shield of the Truth OR The Truth of God cleared from SCANDALS AND REPROACHES Cast upon it By scandalous and reproachfull tongues which the Devil in all ages did make use of whereby he blasphemed the truth of God striving to present it odious in the eyes and ears of all people that so he might uphold his own kingdom but the day hath made him manifest the Lord is come is coming to make war with him and bind hm and cast him into the bottomeless pit and all who bears his Image and under his dominion is Written from the Spirit of the Lord by one who suffers amongst the little flock of Christ who go under the name of Quakers so called by the stock of Ishmael who is known to the world by the name of Iames Parnel It is written they shall put you out of the Synagogues yea the time cometh that whosoever killeth you shall think he doth God service And those things will they do because they have not known the Father nor me for if they had known him they would not have crucified the Lord of glory 1 Cor. 2. 8. But fear not little flock for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdome and the time cometh that all your enemies shall be your footstoole the promise is to the faithfull obedient whose kingdome is not of this world John 18. 36. London Printed for Giles Calvert and are to be sold at his shop at the black Spread Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1655. To the READER REader to thee whosoever thou art I shall clear my conscience and to all people to the light of God in all your consciences I speak which is one in all in the behalf of a depised people with men yet not with God who are scattered abroad in severall Countries yet one in the Lord whom the Lord hath chosen out of the generation of the Children of this world out of all sects forms and opinions into the light of life to bear his Image and so to bear his Crosse and because they have not the same Image with the children of this world but are chosen out from amongst them their fellowship their kindred and acquaintance and breeding manners customs fashions words wayes and worship for light can have no fellowship with darknesse and so the Devil who goeth about like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may devour who is the god of the World who ruleth in the children of disobedience hath stirred up all who bear his image who under his dominion is to persecute slander revile and reproach all who bears the Image of God who testifies against him and all who bears his image so as he hath done in all ages from the beginning so it is now that he may uphold his Image and his kingdome so the beast is making warre with the lambe and now is the warre begun but the lambe shall get the victory praises praises to our God for ever and so for the truths sake and the good of all tender consciences I shall clear my conscience in the clearing of the truth from the scandalls false accusations and reports which is cast upon it by the Priest and people who bear the image of the beast least any who are unsettled and ungrounded in the truth should by giving ear to those false reports and scandals and accusations turne from the light and so lose their convincement and get up into hardnesse of heart and lose their part in the promised land for there is a company of Priests in all parts of the Nation where the truth comes who are the Devils greatest agents who are dayly plotting and inventing and seeking every way to blot the Image of God out of the Nation by writings by prinlings by petitioning to Rulers and Magistrates with all the false aspersions and scandals they can get together to present the truth of God odious to all people and likewise in their pulpits do the same as it was in the time of Christ and his Apostles but we have but one Ruler and Governer to petition to and to rely upon from whom we have our Image even God over all who knoweth the hearts of all who is our witness and our justification then who art thou that condemnest or layes any thing to the charge of Gods Elect but he hath promised no weapon formed against him shall prosper for his work he will cary on by his own unlimited power in despite of the beast and his image And so Reader I charge thee and all people in the presence of the Lord before whom thou must come to judgment to take heed of speaking avill of that you know not lest you speak evil of Gods Elect for it is a feareful thing to enter into the hands of the living God for if those be cursed that doth not receive the Messengers of Jesus Christ how much more them that reviles them and persecutes them he that hath an ear to hear let him hear for in as much as thou dost it to one of his thou dost to him J. P. A Shield of Truth OR The Truth of God cleared from Roports and false Accusations c. 1. COncerning the name Quakers by which the world scornfully calls us As for the Quaking and Trembling caused by the unresistable power of the Lord I own which the holy men of God witnessed before us in all ages Isaac the seed of the promise trembled Moses the Servant of God quaked and trembled Jeremias the Prophet of the Lord his bones shooke Habakkuk his belly trembled and lips quivered when Daniel heard the voice he fell down and trembled and David the King were as if his bones were out of joynt and the rest of the holy men of God quaked and trembled and so it was no new thing but that which was from the beginning which all the holy men of God witnessed though new to the World who live in darknesse and for this cause are we scornfully called Quakers but the scorners God will judge and the righteous God will blesse who work out their salvation with fear and trembling 2. We are accused to be the false Prophets and false teachers and deceivers that are foretold of in the Scriptures to come in the last times but saith Jesus Christ you may know them by their fruites and so we desire to be judged according to our fruits Jesus Christ said beware of false prophets that appear to you in sheeps cloathing but inwardly ravening wolves you shall know them by their fruits do men gather grapes of thornes and figges of thistles a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit nor a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit pride is a fruit of the corrupt tree now see wheher we or your teachers be guilty of this who go in double cuffs and boot-hose tops with great store of points ribands which are of no use but for the
