which came down from heaven he that eateth thereof shall never dye and this bread we all eat of and this cup we all drink of and this is that which is practised and commanded in the Church of Christ and so we sit at the Table or Christ and cannot sit nor have fellowship with the Table of Devills and they who sit at your Table and your Sacrament and eats of your bread and drink of your wine they die for it is not the bread of life and you who eats and drinks it doth not di●cern the Lords body for it is spiritual and your Sacrament is carnal And so you eat and drink damnation to yourselves not discerning the Lords body feeding the carnal with the carnal and so we deny your Sacrament to be any Ordinance of Christ or the Supper of Christ 1 Cor. 11. 29. The fourth Accusation is That we deny the resurrection of the body Answ. And that is false For at the sound of the last trumpet the dead shal be raised they that have done good shall arise to the resurrection of life they that have done evill to the resurrection of condemnation And we preach Christ risen from the dead and if the dead rise not then is our preaching vain and your faith is also in vain and you are yet in youe sins who knows not this resurrection Christ risen from the dead in you 1 Cor. 15. 14 15 16 17. But some man will say How are the dead raised and with what bodies do they come 1 Cor. 15. 35. Thou fool that which thou sowest thou sowest not that body that shall be but bare grain it may chance of wheat or of some other grain but God giveth it a body as pleaseth him and to everyseed his own body There is also coelestial bodies and bodies terrestrial and the glory of the coelestial is one and the glory of the terrestrial is another there is one glory of the Sun and another glory of the Moon and another glory of the Stars for one Star differs from another Star in glory So also is the resurrection of the dead it is sown in corruption it is raised in incorruption it is sown in dishonour it is raised in glory it is sown in weakness it is raised in power it is sown a naturall body it is raised a spirituall body 1 Cor. 15. 35 36 37 38. Now this I say unto you all That flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdome of God neither doth corruption inherit incorruption 1 Cor. 15. 50 51 52. But this is to you all a mystery who are in the first nature whose understandings are not enlightned by the light of Christ who lives in your sorms notions and professions of these things in the letter feeding your carnal mindes with the Letter which is death and killeth and so your mindes are drawn from the Light of Christ within you into outward observances of meats and drinks bread and wine divers washings and carnal Ordinances which were figures of the time then present Heb. 9. 9 10. and you deny Jesus Christ the substance who is the true light that enlightneth everyone that cometh into the world Now to the light in you all I speak which Christ Jesus hath enlightned you withall and if you love this light it wil lead you out of all your carnal Ordinances and worthips and divers washings which stands in the first covenant which was before Christ and is done away in Christ the second covenant and it wil lead you to worship God in the spirit and into the doctrine of Christ to yea and nay in all your communications but all you who are got up high in forms and profession you are not yet come to yea and nay but are out of the doctrine of Christ and walks contrary to the light of Christ in your consciences which light shall be your condemnation that hates it Iohn 3. 19 20. though you be got up high in your forms and notions and words of the Saints conditions who spoke in the light and from the life And you who have the form but not the life shall be condemned by the life and you who hate the light shal be condemned with the light and life which gave forth the Scriptures The fifth Accusation is That we do not honour Magistrates nor are subject unto Authority but are disturbers and breakers of the peace Answ. Justice we own and righteousness and all who love the light of Christ which he hath enlightned them withall it will lead them to act justice And all Magistrates I charge you in the presence of the living God to act according to that which is pure of God in the conscience And all Magistrates who act according to that of God in the conscience are honoured by those who fear the Lord and walk in obedience to that in the conscience and these who act justice according to that in the conscience they do not bear the sword in vain for that in the conscience is according to the Law of God and all you Magistrates who are set over the people to do justice and execute the Law upon offenders this is the word of the Lord to you to mind the light of Christ in your consciences and it will cause you to act according to the place of a Magistrate but if you suffer swearers and drunkards or lyars or oppressors or fal●e weights or strikers or quarrellers or fighters and do not punish them or whoremongers or idolatrous or idle persons without a calling and thou that passeth by these things and doth not act justice according to the Law then thou acts not according to that light in the conscience and thou bears the sword in vain and that in the conscience will take hold upon thee and condemn thee and will execute the righteous Law of God upon thee who refuseth to act according to that in the conscience but those whom you call Quakers act according to that in the conscience and they are no fighters no str●kers no drunkards no swearers no oppressors no whoremongers no idolaters no fornicato●s no lyars no scorners no revilers no false accusers not proud not high-minded not thieves not murtherers for they give Obedience to that in the conscience which crucifies them to all these things so the Law cannot take hold upon them and from the Lord do they declare against all these things where they are yet standing which the Law of God takes hold upon And you who are called Magistrates and Justices as you pass through the Streets in the Cities and in the Markets you may hear men swear and lye and be drunk in the Al●houses and you pass by them and when any of the Servants of the Lord who are sent of the Lord into the Markets or Cities and declare the VVord of the Lord against drunkards and swearers and lyars who are cheating one another cozening one another and bid them repent and declare to them the just judgement of God which is
to fall upon them and all such whom thou who art a Magistrate hath neglected to act justice upon to punish according to the Law then they who are drunkards fall a fighting and striking and hales them to thee who art a Magistrate which should punish the drunkards and swearers fighters and strikers and thou sayest they have distu●bed the people and broken the peace when they have declared the VVord of the Lord against Sin and Vngodliness and all the unrighteousness of men which thou should have punished by the Law thou art called a Justice of peace and this is thy peace which is kept with drunkards and swearers and strikers fighters and is disturbed by the word of the Lord declared from the mouth of the Lord by his Servants against all these things who are not guilty of any of those things here thou art no Minister of God but an encourager of evill doers and discourager of those that do well which declares justice from God against those whom thou should act justice upon and when they are brought before thoe then thou wouldst have them to honour thee who art a vile person and no Minister of God and no Honour belongs unto thee but he who Ministers Justice from that which is pure of God in the Conscience is worthy of double Honour and because they will not honour thee who acts no Justice but according to thy corrupt will and is not obedient to that of God in the conscience thou sends them to prison or out of the City or out of the Markets or stocks them or whips them and if a drunkard or swearer will put off his hat to thee and bow to thee and call thee Master thou dost not imprison such a one nor punish him neither with stocks nor whips nor counts him any breaker of the peace and here they who break the peace and act contrary to the Law of God are spared and are at liberty and they who keep the peace and do violence to no man they are punished by those who should act Justice in the Land And here iniquity is set in the place of Justice and is at liberty and truth is imprisoned by the Rulers of the Nation And to all Rulers I speake from the Lord to that in your consciences minding it will let you see who it is that is not subject to Authority whether they that are drunk or they who declare against drunkenness whether they that swear or they who declare against swearing and deny to swear at all whether they that fight and strike and beat one another or they who never lift up a hand against any man but declare the word of the Lord against such things And them whom you call quakers are no drunkards nor no swearers for Jesus Christ saith Swear not at all but let your yea be yea and your nay be nay and so they abide in the doctrine of Christ and keep the peace of God and are justified in the sight of God and are no breakers of the peace but are subject unto Authority and for conscience sake cannot break the Commands of Christ nor do any wrong nor violence unto any man and the peace for they are no fighters nor strikers Rom. 13. 45. but they are smitten and striken and ●lley give their backs to the smiter and hide not their face from shame and spitting as the same seed Christ did who passed before Isa. 50. 6. who preached repentance spoke in Cities Markets Villages and by the Sea-coasts and then all the Citie was on an uproare as it is now and their peace was broken and they were disturbed and they smote him on the face and buffetted him and imprisoned him left if he should be let alone all men should believe on him And you are the same generation now for any who are sent of the Lord now to preach repentance to turn you from your iniquities that your mindes might be turned to the Light of Christ within you which will check you for sin and evill then your Cities are on an uproare against them to persecute them and so you fill up the measures of your fathers iniquity A word from the Lord to all you who are called before the Magistrate to be a Jury who swear before the Magistrates to see the Law put in execution and that you will execute the Law upon drunkards and swearers and that you will see that the poor the fatherless and widows be relieved and not see them want and this you swear before the Magistrates That you wil see it performed and that none be idle nor wander abroad without a calling and some of you that swear to punish drunkards are drunkards and have fellowship with drunkards and you that swear to punish swearers are swearers and here out of your own mouth you are condemned and by the light of Christ you are judged who are swearers you are out of the commands of Christ who saith Swear not at all And you see the poor the fatherless and widows in want and you do not relieve them and you see idle persons without any calling and you do not set them on work but they live in idleness devouring the creation and herein you do not perform your vowes nor execuse the Law which you profess and so acts contrary to the light of Christ in your consciences Now to the light of Christ in you all I speak and charge you in the presence of the living God to take heed unto it and it will let you see wherein you have transgressed the pure Law of God and suffered sin to reign unpunished and it will bring the condemnation upon you who have acted contrary to it and taking heed to the light it will lead you out of all those things which the Law of God takes hold upon and will adde the Law upon every transgression and all you that act contrary to the light of Christ in the conscience it will be your condemnation and you are they who deny the Ordinances of Christ which walks not according to the light of Christ which he hath enlightned you withall and you are they who are not subject to Authority who are not obedient to the light of Christ in the conscience and you are the disturbers and breakers of the peace whose mindes are not guided by the light of Christ and this light will let you see giving heed unto it who are out of the commands of Christ and is not subject unto authority nor obedient to the light of Christ in the conscience And here I have cleared my conscience to you all from the Lord to the light of Christ in your consciences I speak which will eternally witness mee to have spoken the truth unto you all who have falsly accused the innocent As I was moved of the Lord who is a servant unto you from the Lord in love to all your souls to set up righteousness in the Land RICHARD HUBBERTHORNE FINIS
