your souls for getting money to themselves Oh go not after them for they lead you into the dark and so under the power of the Prince of darkness and from the light which all the Saints of God walks in and so are cleansed from all sin Another Scripture they bring to plead for sin in Rom. 4.5 where the Apostle is speaking of the two Covenants of faith and of works where the Apostle saith To him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his faith is counted to him for righteousness and this Scripture they bring to justifie the wicked and ungodly and to uphold the Devils Kingdom of sin to crosse the Scriptures and overthrowe all which Christ and this Apostle and all the Apostles laboured and suffered for David saith the ungodly shall not stand in judgement but the way of the ungodly shall perish And the Apostle saith in 1 Tim. 1.9 the Law is for the ungodly and for sinners and the Apostle saith in Rom. 1.18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men Now all people let that of God in your consciences examine and try you how you dare stand in the presence of the living God when that in the time of that which you call your worship your teachers Doctrine is to uphold the Kingdom of sin which whosoever commits is of the Devil And another Scripture they bring in Rev. 8.3 where the Angel that took the golden Scepter offered up the prayers of the Saints And this Scripture they bring to uphold sin and say if they had no sin what need they pray Now let all the children of light who have but the least measure of God behold the abomination of these blasphemers who saith that the Saints were sinners because they prayed and would bring all the Saints of God too under the sin and the transgression and so to be the servants of the Devils as they are Iesus Christ saith he that commits sin is the servant of sin as in Iohn 8.34 and in Rom. 6.16 he saith his Servants ye are to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness and read the 20. verse and the prayers of the wicked is abomination to the Lord And David saith if I regard iniquity in my heart God will not hear my prayer and yet these deceivers pleads for sin and brings the prayers of the Saints to prove it And here they would make Christ Iesus the only begotten of the Father a sinner who fell on his face and prayed Mat. 26. as you may read 3 several times in that Chapter And again in Mark 14.35 he fell on the ground and prayed and again he went away and prayed and so ye may read that he prayed in severall places of Scripture Iesus Christ who is the everlasting offering and substance of all prayers he offered up prayers to his Father And now ye people of Cartmel come hither and try your teachers Bermelt and Camelford and all ye people of England try your teachers who hath preached to you these scriptures to uphold the Devils Kingdom of sin And let them come and try their God and let the scripture try them what God they serve seeing that they have brought these Scriptures that are before mentioned to uphold the Kingdom of darkness iniquity and sin And do you who are their hearers that goes after them see what ye uphold and what ye can learn of them that are under the power of the Prince of the Aire which rules in the Children of disobedience as their fruits makes them manifest and labours with all their strength to keep you there with them who are blind ignorant people who are led with them blind guides and so both falles into the ditch Therefore a warning to you all as you will answer it before the Lord God of Heaven and Earth from whose presence you can never fly that you turn away from these blasphemers against the truth of God as you your selves may see if ye be not wilfully blind Let the Scripture judge them and try them their fruits makes them manifest to be deceivers and Antichrists and no Ministers of Iesus Christ neither shall you ever learn any thing of them that ever shall be owned of the living God for their portion is curst in the earth as Mal. 2.1.2 And now Oh ye Priests this Commandement is for you if ye will not hear and if ye will not lay it to heart to give glory unto my name saith the Lord of Hosts I will even send a curse upon you and will curse your blessings yea I have cursed them already And the Lord saith cursed be the deceiver as in Mal. 1.14 So all dear people as ye love your souls turn from these cursed deceivers which are of the Generation of Cain where sin lies at their doors and they lie wallowing in it as you may see by their filthiness drunkenness and quarrellings and minde the light of God in your consciences which Christ Iesus hath enlightened you withall which light bears witness and testifies against all such filthy unclean practices as they live in that which checks you for sin and showes your sin and thoughts of your hearts and lets you see how you have spent your time and lets you see that God is pure and cannot behold iniquity to this turn your mindes and to this hearken and be obedient to it and turn away from these Murtherers of your souls as you will answer it before the Lord and remember that ye are warned in your life-time and called to repentance while it is to day which shall be an eternall witness and testimony for God and your eternal condemnation if you disobey it From a friend of your souls and your eternall good Margaret Fell ANd to all you that beat the Servants of God you fulfill Christs words who said They shall beat you in the Synagogues which ye do now in this Generation Mark 13. And Paul was haled out of the Temple and beaten Acts 21. and you now hale out of your Synagogues and that you call your Temples and Christ speaketh in Mark 12. of beating the servants of God and the Apostle was beaten after they were brought before the Chief Priests and Rulers of the people Acts 14.5 And the people and Governors rose up against the Apostles and beat them very sore and cast them into prison these are the Marks by which ye may know what Generation these are of that beats and persecutes the Saints of God and casts into prison and the Apostle saith in 2 Cor. 11. thrice was he beaten with rods and they beat him openly So now the wicked and sloathfull servant appears which beats his fellow-servants who is to be cut asunder whose portion is with the hypocrites and unbelievers Luke 12. such as are drunk and eat and drink with drunkards And Christ said Ye shall be hated of all men for my Names sake

world for the clearing of the truth and wiping away the reproaches which lyes upon it and taking away the stumbling blocks And we do likewise testifie to all the world and do see it in the eternal light which comes from Jesus Christ the true Prophet which Moses writ of who said A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up like unto me him shall you hear which we witness to be come and made manifest in us Therefore do we know and see and to all the world declare that all the false Prophets that ever prophesied falsly who prophesies for Baal whose minds have turned and erred from the light as ours was when we looked out from the light which never changes Therefore do we declare and witness to all the world That all the false Prophets that ever was and ever shall be is of that Generation and of that nature and one with the Priests of England and all the Priesthood which is in the world which is changeable and erred from the light which is eternall and unchangeable which comes from Jesus Christ the unchangeable Priest and end of the Prophets and this we know and witness in our measure whereby we see the deceit they all live in glory and praises be to the Living God for evermore Iames Millner Elizabeth Millner To all you who yet know not the true Ministers of Jesus Christ from the false Teachers of the world 1. WHether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that preaches the Word in season and out of season at all times and in all places where he comes or he that observes a set day time and place judge ye 2. Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is content with the Gospel wayes food and rayment or he that will have the tenth of mens estates or a great summe of money yearly for his pains judge ye 3. Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is humble lowly and meek willing to be servant to all that live in the truth or he who is proud covetous and idle Iudge yee 4. Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is despised hated and persecuted of the world or he who is set up by the world called Master loved of the world given to pleasures and who lives in idlenesse devouring the Creation upon his lust judge ye 5. Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that speaks the Word of God in power from the mouth of the Lord and no more but what he can and dare witnesse to have received from the Lord or he who onely trades with the letter and sells it for Money speaking of the Saints Conditions and knowing nothing of it in himself who onely lives in the form without the power of God judge ye Friends HEre you have a clear distinction betwixtt he Ministers of Christ and the Ministers of the world who are set up by man which Jesus Christ cryes Woe against therefore hold not them up any longer Lay not out your money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfieth not but Hearken diligently unto me that your soules may live For he hath promised to teach all his himself And he is nigh you even in your mouth and in your heart If you hearken to the true Light of God in your Consciences it will teach you to deny all ungodlinesse and to live soberly justly and righteously in this present evil world Looking up unto Iesus who is the author and finisher of your faith Dear Friends I know both these sorts of men by experience and therefore I do utterly deny the one as false Teachers their fruits every way shews it and the other I do witness to be the Ministers of Jesus Christ and to preach the Gospel and the Crosse of Christ which is foolishnesse to them that perish but unto us that are saved it is the power of God Consider of all the false prophets in the time of the true Prophets and you shall find them to be of the same Generation now as was then Read and consider of these places I have given you in the Margent for it is the love to your Soules I have freely given you this as I freely received it from the Lord Herein I have discharged my self and you will be left without excuse when the Lord comes to plead with you I am your servant in the Lord in a weak measure T. A. To the Heads and Governours of this Nation who have put forth a Declaration for the keeping of a day of solemn fasting and Humiliation for the persecution as they say on the poor Inhabitants in the Valley of Lucerna Angrona and others professing the reformed Religion which hath been transmitted unto them from their Ancestors Answ. PRofessing their reformed Religion may be transmitted to Generatiōs so holden by the tradition in that where the profession and tradition is holden in that is the dayes of humiliation kept which stands in the will of man which is not the fast which the Lord requires to hold down the head like a Bul-rush for a day and the day following be in the same condition as you were the day before To the light of Christ Jesus in your Consciences do I speak which testifies for God every day and witnesseth against all sin and persecution which measure of God if you beguided by it doth not limit God to a day but leads to the fast which the Lord requires which is to loose the bonds of wickedness to undoe the heavy burthens and to let the oppressed go free and to break every yoak Isa. 58.6 this is the Fast the Lord requires and this stands not in the transmission of times nor in the tradition of men but this was before time was Mark 7.7 8 9 13. Col. 2.8.15 Mat. 3.9 and this leads out of time and this shall be when time shall be no more And those that teach for Doctrine the Commandements of men are they which ever persecuted the life and power when it came And a Decree or Edict as you call it proceeds from the ground of the Popes Religion and Supremacy and there stands his tyranny and cruelty acted in that will which is in that nature which exerciseth Lordship over another as you may read Mark 10.42 Luke 22.25 as all the Heathen do and ever did and in the heathenish nature is all the tyrany and persecution exercised who are out of the obedience of the light of Christ Jesus in the Conscience which is the guider and leader of all who are tender of that of God in the Consciences and who is not led by this knoweth not what it is to suffer for Conscience sake And whereas you take it into your consideration the sad persecution tyrany and cruelty exercised upon them whom you call your Brethren Protestants and therein do contribute and administer to their wants outwardly this is good in its place

they shall persecute you in the City and will scourge you in their Synagogues and will bring you before Governours but he that endures to the end shall be saved the Disciple is not above his Master nor the servant above his Lord if they have called the Master of the house Belzebub how much more them of his houshold And all you that spit at the people of God now you may read your examples as them that did not spare to spit at Iob Iob 30. and you may read your example when the chief Priests rent his Clothes how they spit at Christ in his face and buffetted him and struck him with rods and asked him saying prophesie unto us O Christ who smote thee and here again you may read your example in Mat. 26. and again you may read another example in Mat. 27. how they spit upon Christ and took a Reed and smote him upon the head And again you may read another example in Mark How the high Priests and Scribes condemned Iesus to death and he said they should mock him and spit upon him And again you may read another example how some began to spit at Christ and covered his face and beat him with their fists and the Sergeants smote him with rods for this example you may read Mark 14. and another example you may read Mark 15. how they smote Iesus on the head with a Reed and bowed the knee and mocked him and began to salute him and here you mockers beaters and that spit at the Children of God you may read your example in Mat. 15. And again ye that stone the people of God in the Markets and high wayes you may read your selves to be of that Generation that took up stones to stone Christ And they said they stoned him for blasphemy Iohn 10. And the Disciples told Christ that the Iews sought to stone him and they said unto him Wilt thou go thither again And the High Priests gathered a Councel they consulted together to put him to death And the Apostles was used despitefully and they stoned them Acts 14. And Steven who was examined before the chief Priests he was stoned to death with such as held up the outward Temple and they gnashed upon him with their teeth as the world do now And there is your example Acts 7. and Matth 21.35 how they killed and stoned the servants of the Lord and the Apostle Paul was stoned and drawn out of the City supposed to have been dead and in the 2 Cor. 11. the Apostle speaks there how he was stoned and another example you may read Heb. 11. how the people of God was stoned whom the world was not worthy of So ye that stone the people of God now here you may read your examples before mentioned And you are the Generation that stone such as ye are not worthy of The 13. day of the 4. Moneth TO all Friends and People every where where this may come do I Iames Millner and Elizabeth my Wife who are of them whom the world scornfully calls Quakers we do for the truths sake and for the clearing of it and wiping away those reproaches and scandals which have been cast upon it by the rude wicked world who lyes in wickedness and uncleanness and have taken occasion to cast many slanderous reproaches upon the truth which was occasioned by some weakness which proceeded from us when we were young in the truth about half a year after we were Convinced We witness the Living power made manifest in us and the promise of God we did then witness in measure where it is said in the second of Ioel Your sons and your daughters shall prophesie and the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophesie we did then witness in measure but being then young in the truth and the dark mind being above the prophesie which was in the light which dark mind could not comprehend and see the prophesie what it was to so the mind being carnal took the prophesie and looked out at Carnal things But now that is born up in our understandings the Light which comes from Jesus which comprehends the darknesse and now we see where we mist and erred from the light praises be to the Living God for ever And therefore do we in the presence of the Living God own our Condemnation due to that which erred from the Light and do witness it present upon us and the Judgment of God to be just And we do also witness the Living truth to be pure and just which by us hath suffered though we had perished in that Condition but glory be unto the Eternal God for ever who hath turned us from the darkness unto the light and from the power of Satan unto God And whereas the enemies of God and of his truth some of the Priests which took Information from some which took occasion about that time to stumble and fall back from the truth and hath put it severall times in print to make the truth odious and to cause weak ones to stumble and to keep others from receiving of the truth We do here therefore openly declare in the Eternal light whereby we see and comprehend and condemn and deny that which turned from the light and with the light which never changes do we shut it out and condemn it too amongst the false Prophets and Antichrists that are in the world and in the light which is Eternal do we see that mind that erred from the Light to be one with all the Priests of England And I Iames Millner and Elizabeth my Wife do here joyntly together in the presence of the Living God deny that which led us from the light and all the Priests of England and all the professions in the world which is out of the light with which light we see them and the false prophet which spoke unto us to be one And therefore do we passe Condemnation on them both And in the light which never changes do we stand witnesses against them for ever Knowing them and seeing them to be deceivers and no Ministers but of Antichrist And they are them who takes occasion by all means they can to render the truth odious and to keep the Seed of God in bondage that so they may make Merchandize of soules and so betray the simple But the Lord God of life is laying their Abomination open and uncovering their filthiness Therefore thou Priest Shaw and all thy partakers who have made this our errour a cloak for your filthiness take it to your selves it is your own and stop your mouthes with it for in the Eternal light which never changes we deny both it and you and condemnes you into the pit for ever And in the Eternall light we do stand witnesses against the blind guides and for the living truth which never changes are we witnesses And this are we ready to seal with our blood And this are we moved of the Lord to declare to all the
