his Soul and Body for Eve thou sayest was in Transgression And did his Soul and Body sin which thou sayest was the Woman's Pars which was in Transgression And in pag. 2. thou sayest The Woman is the Soul Mind and Heart of every Visible Man and Woman and so thou makest no Difference between his Soul and Body and the Soul and Heart of every Visible Man and Woman Oh gross Darkness Blasphemy and Confusion And our Testimony has alwayes had a reverend Esteem of that Precious Blood that was spilt without the Gates as being of great value in the Sight of the Lord and having a Testimony in it towards the Remission of Sin to obliege all that are sensible of the End thereof not to live unto themselves but unto him that dyed for them And as they are to be blamed that will not come to the Light but cry it down relying upon the Death and Sufferings without it so art thou who pretendest to cry up the Light to render the Loving-kindness of the Lord invalid in sending his Son to lay down his Life and Precious Blood and taste Death for Mankind and such as speak from the Light which is the Life that was in that blessed Body can never disregard regard but have an high Esteem of what he did and suffered therein And further thou sayest There is a Soul or an Invisible Woman which God did make and place in every Visible Man I never read before of an invisible Woman that God did make no that 's thy making and comes from thee who dost not write from Sight or Sense a meer Figment of thine own Conceiving being gone from the true Sense and Sight which gives a plain Understanding And Eve thou sayest conceived and brought forth the first Invisible Man the Son of Perdition which brought Death over all but thou tellest us not who she conceived by and who brought Death over her if she brought Death over all And in thy other Answer which is much to the same 'T is plain in Scripture thou sayest there 's Two Christs Christ and Antichrist And art not thou in the Transformings that wouldst make Antichrist a Christ and who 'le take the Information of this Informer can we think but Satan who would have Antichrist to be Christ and lay it upon the Scripture also but the Scriptures say There 's but One Faith and One Lord Jesus Christ and we believe them and not thy Writings from Satan's Transformings And thou dost directly oppose the Scripture who sayst Christ came not of David or Israel for in Rom. 1. 't is said He did come of the Seed of David according to the Flesh and so thy Spirit is seen and the Opposition is discerned and 't is the less for us to be Opposed by thee who art so great an Opposer of Scriptures And Antichrist thou sayest strives to bring in his Doctrine and would be Head over all those Invisible Appearances that come from God yea and Visible Appearances also which is fulfilled in thee and thy Brethren who are judging his Ministers and the Wholsom Order and Commendable Form in the Church to lay them waste nay that spirit hath not left unattempted the Scriptures themselves that so all Outward Foot-steps in the Goings forth of the Light being abolished and the Motions and Whimsies from Antichrist's Transformations set up in their place the True Light and Spirit might thereby be abolisht also and that is the Word of Truth in my Heart to that spirit whose Workings have been to that End So thy Work is seen and Judgment gone forth against that spirit which it cannot escape And the Judgment of the Quarterly-Meeting is true and will stand over thy Head forever except thou Repentest And so the Reasons of thy Disowning us are some of them answered in what has been writ And whereas thou disowns that Body or Church who look upon themselves to have Power to judge of Errors and have not Power to convince of Error c. I answer that that Power by which the Ministers and Elders amongst us do and have judged Errors the same hath convinced Thousands of their Errors and false Doctrines and I believe even thee also in Years past when thou wast little and tender There is a difference between Conscience truly tender unto God and that which is seared and hardned through Enmity which is to be judged and condemned by the Church and such as make Strife and Division to be amarkt by them that keep in the Power And how canst thou deny thy self to be a Member of any Church but the true who hast declared the World to be the Church of God and the true cannot admit of thy belief and speaking who believes and speaks contrary to the Faith of it And how shouldest thou understand the Faith and Belief of the Church that is true who art against Sight and Sense and art gotten into another Principle viz. the Darkness which cannot comprehend the Light and the things that are therein which are only seen in its Pri●ciple truly And thou preferrest Rome before us and so they may take thee for thou hast been a Shame to us who hast manifested so much Sottishness and Hypocrisie a to be twenty Years and more amongst us and be called after our Name and yet all this while remain ignorant of our Faith and Belief touching Doctrine And thou art for our marrying with the Nations for thou sayest The Lord made all Nations of one Blood but the Nations have poluted themselves and are gone from God's make and the Lord hath gathered us out from the Nations and Kindreds and thou wouldest have us mix with them again and put that together which God hath disjoyned and this is the Informer's work against God and his Christ's work And when Naomy's Sons married thou didst not see where they were who writes not from any Sight for there wa● a Famine in the Land of Israel and they were gotten into the Land of Moab amongst the Moabites where the Lord cut them off and made Naomy return empty but when Ruth returned into the Land of Israel with her she then match'd with Boaz of the Tribes of Israel and so we are Witnesses to the Matches in the Land of Israel even of such as return from Moab And the Law was not given forth when Moses took the Ethiopian Woman so where there was no Law there was no Transgression God justified him thou sayest contrary to his Commend as thy ranting Spirit judgeth but the Apostle commanded not to be unequally yoakt for what part hath a Believer with an Infidel and so thou art for the linsey-woolsey Garment and expects to be justified and for bringing Confusion into the Churches of God who is the God of Order and not of Confusion as in all the Churches who hath set Watch men upon her Walls so they have not set themselves not assumed Authority but he hath raised and is raising Judges as at first and Councellors as at the Beginning Men fearing him and hating Covetousness who judge for him alone and bear not the spiritual Sword in vain And in thy first Query where thou askest What is the Fruit the Tree of Knowledge bears in thy Book thou sayest It was and is the Scriptures And was not the Tree and Fruit of it before they were written And in thy 21 Query thou sayest again Such as are feeding upon the Tree of Knowledge or the Scriptures so I perceive thou understandest not thy own Queries and thou art not like to know more of them for me who imployest thy Knowledge so ill in which thou hast shewn us what Swine do with Pearls And to thy Postscript I refer the Reader to Geo. Whitehead's Answer to Will Mucklow's Queries and take only notice of that where thou sayest That which came as from thee in thy Book was either from a Mcasure of the Spirit in thee or from Satan in thee transformed into an Angel of Light it seems thou well knowest not but the Universal Spirit and Light thereof in all Consciences does by which thou art judged and thy Work manifested And s● though thou hast born the Name of a Quaker long yet what an one thou hast been thy Work has declared and thou art no Priest no but the Lord makes his Priests nor Teacher mark that and teach no more seeing thou art none c. but an Informer and so take thy Place amongst the Informers who art Fellow-Worker with them and must have their Wages except thou Repent G. BARNARDISTON Many other Gross Absurdities Confusions and Follies in J. B's Pamphlet are here omitted THE END
A TESTIMONY AGAINST Jeffery Bullock HIS Antichristian and Foolish Pamphlet STILED Antichrist's Transformations Within Discovered by the LIGHT WITHIN Wherein his perverse Spirit Darkness and Whimsical Conceits are Reprehended by the TRUE LIGHT Romans 1. 21. Because that when they knew God they glorified him not as God neither were thankful but became vain in their Imagination their Foolish Heart was darkned Vers 22. Professing themselves to be wise they became Fools Printed in the Year 1676. A TESTIMONY AGAINST Jeffery Bullock HIS Antichristian and Foolish Pamphlet STILED Antichrist's Transformations Within Discovered by the Light Within HAving lately seen a Book printed by J. B. intituled Antichrist's Transformations Within discovered by the Light Within this Testimony arose in my Heart That Antichrist's Transformations within is setting and would set it self above the Light within in such as have departed from it in themselves amongst whom is this J. B. with some others who went out from us because they were not of us but went out and so are made manifest who had they continued in the Light they had not been pushing at us and it for such are at Unity with the Light and in it in sweet Fellowship Peace and Communion one with another and there is no Occasion of stumbling in them because they walk in the Light And these have been much opposed since they were a People gathered by the Light in it to walk and the Enemy hath laboured alwayes to disperse their gatherings and to hedge up their Path and when the National Priests and others of all sorts with their Weapons could effect nothing then have there arose some amongst our selves who have spoke perverse things to draw after them and so this is no new thing neither would we have any startled or make a wrong Judgment concerning us or the blessed Light because thereof and so make their Bonds strong for so you may read it was in the Primitive Times And those are more subtil then others in that they have known something of the Openings of the Truth whilst in their first Love Tenderness and Lowliness unto which it did open which State they having lost have made use thereof to make War against the Light and the Dwellers therein and the Knowledge has pust such up who have fed there and departed from the Grace that humbleth and keepeth humble out of Contention and Strife and Enmity where these dwell who speak Evil of Dignities and Despise Government and would pretend to give Honour to the Light but dishonour and dis-regard them that are the Messenger and were the Bringers of the Glad-tidings thereof to their Ears who ha●e turned many to Righteousness who do and shall shine forever and ever And this Subtilty is seen and this transformed Angel of Light is discovered though he come in that Name and under the Pretence of Light crying out against Man and calling it Man's Power and Man's Authority as divided from the Lord's Power and his Authority even in those that are begotten of it and live upon it and act by it and judge the World through it and this i● not to honour the Light which has honoured them that have honoured it and given them Power which hath reached through them even to Thousands who are their Witnesses they have used it to Edification and not to Destruction Neither have such forced any or exercised Dominion over the Consciences of any as Rome and other Chuches have done by their Coercive power and Penal Laws so none like to be so ensnared by their Power and Authority given them of God to judge Error and Blasphemy and whatever rises up that is of a contrary Nature to the pure Light and peaceable Spirit of Righteousness which has brought us forth a People to his Praise amongst whom is the Spirit of Judgment and a sound Mind who have the Mind of Christ and will not be divided from their Husband their Maker nor let his Judgments depart from his Law that he has placed in their Hearts and his Righteousness that he put in his Spirit in their Inward Parts which now goeth forth to judge Unrighteousness and Filthiness as well of Spirit as Flesh which makes the filthy Dreamers that despise Dominion angry and causes them to vent their Confusion Blasphemy and Darkness to the manifesting their own Shame as J. B. has done because Judgment is gone forth against him for denying that Christ that dyed at Jerusalem to be the Judge and Saviour who having denyed him in his Workings for our Salvation we cannot think it strange to see him inveighing against the Ministers and Elders and the Form and Order in the Church established by the Lord and his Power in them wh●ch disowns his Disorder and Informings from Satan's Transformings against the Light within his People which can never lessen the Fame and Glory of the true Ministers or their Power and Authority in the Churches amongst which the Lord has given them a Name who as he sent his Son into the World so hath his Son sent them and hath sanctified them through the Truth that they may be one as the Father is one and the Glory which the Father gave him he hath given them though J. B. grudges them it and that which they have they return unto him who is the Giver God blessed fo●ever Thy Judgment is thou sayest and believest That whatever is writ to the Churches by Men Elders ought to be written by the Holy Ghost whether it be Exhortation or Counsel Admonition Warning of Evil c. in Matters of Conscience which things belong to God So then they have Power in the Holy Ghost to admonish and warn in things relating to Conscience according to thy Judgment but we may go something further as well as our Brother Paul who wrote to the Churc●es Advice and Counsel and said He spake by Permission and not by Commandment and sometimes not the Lord but He spake and so his Faith and Judgment herein was diverse from thine and so is ours And the Paper to the Churches thou sayest is not to be owned because it was writ from a Sight or a Sense or Sensible Part and not from the Spirit of Revelation As if that implyed Contradiction as if the Spirit 's Revelation put out Sight and Sensibility and so thou wouldst have Blind Elders and Sensless Ministers and is not this from Satan's Transformings in thee and has he not led thee here into the Ditch for did not those that spoke forth the Spirit 's Revelations speak from a Sight and a Sense and from that Part in them that was made sensible of the Revelation and were not the Prophets called Sears and were they not to declare what they saw and did they not speak from the sight they had of the Mind of the Lord and were not they sensible of what they declared And did not the Apostle declare what he had seen with his Eyes and his Hands had handled and what he had tasted of
