B08596	A declaration to all the world of our faith, and what we believe who are called Quakers. And this is written, that all people upon Earth may know by whom, and how we are saved, and hopes for eternal life; and what we believe concerning God, Christ and the spirit, and of the things that are eternal, appertaining to all man-kind to know and believe. Also what ministers and magistrates we own, and what, and whom we deny.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.; Parker, Alexander, 1628-1689.	1660 (1660)	Wing B5997A; ESTC R173333	8,180	16

he that is born again of the Spirit and that walks after the Spirit who is changed from death to life and who is redeemed out of the world and all its wayes such only must inherit the kingdom of God and they only have right thereunto and none besides even they that are washed and cleansed from all unrighteousness by the Blood of Jesus by which their sins are Remitted for his Blood cleanseth them from all unrighteousness and sin all such as walk and abide in the Light which Christ Jesus hath lightned the world withal And we believe that the Saints upon earth may receive forgiveness of sins and may be perfectly freed from the body of sin and death and in Christ may be perfected and without sin and may have victory over all temptations by Faith in Christ Jesus And we believe every Saint that is called of God ought to press after perfection and to overcome the Devil and all his temptations upon Earth and we believe they that faithfully wait for it shall obtain it and shall be presented without sin in the Image of the Father and such walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit and are in Covenant with God and their sins are blotted out and remembred no more for they cease to commit sin being born of the Seed of God And we believe the Gospel of Christ is the Power of God unto Salvation and that it ought to be Preached freely unto all people and Christ to be held forth to all Man-kind by the Ministry sent of him And we believe this Ministry is received by the gift of the Holy Ghost and all they that receive it are lawfully called to the Ministry and they may Preach the Gospel of Christ freely as they have received it freely and this Ministry is not of man but of God and is made powerful to the converting of sinners and to the bringing of people to God and to the knowledge of his waies And we do not believe that any man is a Minister of Christ without the gift of the Holy Ghost or that the Gospel can be received by natural learning or education And we believe such as preach for hire and have hire for preaching are not the lawful called Ministers of the Gospel of Christ such as are proud and high-minded and covetous men who do not profit the people at all such as have run but never were sent of Christ who calleth by his Spirit into the work of the Ministrie and as every one hath received the gift of that his Spirit so he may administer to others Concerning Rulers and Governours we believe that there ought to be Rulers and Governors in every Nation City Country or Town and they ought to be such men as fear God and hateth every evil way who will judge for God and not for man and will judge righteously equally and justly and will give true and sound judgment unto all men without bribery or respect of persons not regarding the rich above the poor but being a praise unto all that do well and a terrour to all evil doers whatsoever having knowledg in the pure Law of God and themselves continually exercised therein And we believe that every Law of man ought to be grounded upon the Law of God pure reason and equity being the foundation thereof that God's witness in every man may answer to it and the Law ought to be known unto all people before transgression be charged or punished in any man And we believe that every transgression ought to be punished according to its nature and that the punishment exceed not the greatness of the Transgression neither ought any Transgressor to escape unpunished neither ought any upon false suspition or jealousie to be caused to suffer without the Testimony of true men or the confession of the party And we believe that the Executors of the Law ought to be just men and not given to Pride Drunkenness or any other evil whatsoever And we believe that all Governours and Rulers ought to be accountable to the people and to the next succeeding Rulers for all their actions which may be enquired into upon occasion and that the chiefest of the Rulers be subject under the Law and punishable by it if they be Transgressors as well as the poorest of the people And thus true Judgment and Justice will be brought forth in the earth and all that do well will have praise and live in rest and peace and all evil doers whatsoever may stand in awe and be afraid of God and just Men and the Execution of good Laws Concerning Religion We believe that it is only the Spirit of the Lord that makes men truly Religious and that no man ought to be compelled to or from any exercise or practice in Religion by any outward Law or Power but every man ought to be left free as the Lord shall perswade his own mind in doing or leaving undone this or the other practise in Religion and every man of what profession in Religion soever ought to be protected in peace provided himself be a man of peace not seeking the wrong of any mans person or estate And we believe that to reprove false Opinions and unsound Doctrines and Principles seeking to convince them that oppose themselves by exhortation or sharp reproof by word or writing ought not to be counted a breach of the Peace and to strive about the things of the Kingdom of God by men of contrary minds or judgments this ought not to be punishable by the Magistrates and their Laws for we believe that the outward law and powers of the earth is only to preserve mens persons and estates and not to preserve men in Opinions neither ought the law of the Nation to be laid upon mens Consciences to bind them to or from such a judgment or practise in Religion And we believe that Christ is and ought onely to be the Lord and Exerciser of mens Consciences and his Spirit only must lead into all Truth And we believe that obedience and subjection in the Lord belongs to Superiors and that Subjects ought to obey them in the Lord that have rule over them and that Children ought to obey their Parents and Wives their Husbands and Servants their Masters in all things which is according to God which stands in the exercise of a pure conscience towards God but where Rulers Parents or Masters or any other commandeth or requireth subjection in any thing which is contrary to God or not according to him in such causes all people are free and ought to obey God rather than man and we believe that herein God will justify them being guided and led by his Spirit in all that which is good and out of all that which is evil Again we believe concerning Election and Reprobation that there is a state of Election and state of Reprobation a state chosen of God and a state rejected of God and that all mankind are in one of these
