A58143	Light sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart This is to go abroad among all people who are honest-hearted, especially amongst the inhabitants in Fourns Fells, in Lancashire, and among all who have known me after the flesh, that all honest people may see what I was in profession, and also what I now am by the grace of God. From him which hath come through great tribulations, who hath even left all for Christ, and hath not whereon to lay his head, but is forsaken of father and of mother, and of kinred also, even for the testimony of Jesus, and for the Word of God, whom the world calls, Thomas Rawlinson.

but_o according_a to_o the_o multitude_n of_o his_o mercy_n so_o the_o long-suffering_a and_o patience_n of_o god_n lead_v i_o to_o repentance_n and_o then_o i_o come_v clear_o to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n indeed_o that_o appear_v unto_o i_o and_o have_v set_v these_o thing_n before_o i_o and_o not_o man_n that_o have_v so_o long_o call_v unto_o i_o though_o then_o i_o know_v he_o not_o but_o when_o i_o know_v indeed_o that_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o speak_v unto_o i_o i_o then_o give_v up_o all_o willing_o and_o leave_v off_o frequent_v all_o sort_n of_o people_n &_o their_o assembly_n too_o &_o sit_v alone_o in_o silence_n wait_v in_o the_o silence_n of_o my_o spirit_n for_o the_o lord_n and_o be_v as_o a_o travel_a woman_n pain_v to_o be_v deliver_v yea_o i_o be_v almost_o quite_o go_v and_o have_v even_o despair_v of_o hope_n have_v not_o the_o lord_n have_v compassion_n and_o be_v very_o merciful_a unto_o i_o who_o draw_v near_o and_o sustain_v i_o when_o the_o night_n of_o darkness_n be_v over_o i_o for_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n while_o i_o be_v yet_o in_o patience_n wait_v for_o he_o to_o reveal_v his_o son_n in_o i_o who_o have_v even_o

man_n can_v take_v from_o i_o if_o i_o be_v faithful_a to_o the_o end_n blessing_n and_o praise_n and_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o dominion_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o

but_o that_o you_o may_v know_v and_o understand_v what_o god_n have_v wrought_v and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o my_o soul_n that_o all_o may_v come_v to_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o to_o

christ_n but_o that_o you_o may_v all_o even_a turn_n to_o the_o light_n and_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n while_o you_o have_v the_o light_n lest_o any_o be_v harden_v through_o the_o deceitfulness_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o come_v short_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n so_o all_o be_v warn_v that_o you_o put_v not_o trust_v in_o a_o false_a confidence_n in_o a_o false_a faith_n and_o in_o a_o vain_a hope_n and_o so_o you_o get_v up_o into_o a_o false_a joy_n below_o christ_n for_o the_o end_n of_o this_o be_v weep_v mourn_a sorrow_n and_o lamentation_n so_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o choose_v to_o follow_v your_o priest_n lest_o you_o also_o perish_v with_o they_o together_o be_v partaker_n with_o they_o in_o their_o sin_n so_o choose_v not_o to_o follow_v your_o own_o way_n neither_o lean_a not_o to_o your_o own_o understanding_n nor_o put_v no_o trust_n to_o your_o own_o righteousness_n glory_v not_o in_o your_o own_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n but_o now_o even_o all_o of_o you_o come_v to_o the_o light_n christ_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n to_o put_v he_o on_o and_o so_o to_o put_v off_o your_o own_o righteousness_n that_o you_o come_v to_o the_o light_n and_o follow_v the_o light_n to_o have_v the_o righousness_n of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o you_o that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o may_v prove_v yourselves_o so_o search_v and_o try_v your_o own_o way_n and_o turn_v to_o the_o true_a light_n christ_n jesus_n who_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o see_v if_o you_o can_v witness_v christ_n in_o you_o know_v you_o not_o how_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n i_o say_v if_o you_o know_v not_o christ_n form_v in_o you_o if_o you_o feel_v not_o the_o life_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n move_v and_o breathe_v in_o you_o towards_o god_n i_o say_v if_o christ_n be_v not_o raise_v you_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o sin_n if_o the_o dead_a rise_v not_o and_o so_o your_o faith_n be_v vain_a and_o your_o profession_n also_o for_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v christ_n receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o receive_v god_n righteousness_n for_o christ_n be_v god_n righteousness_n and_o who_o have_v not_o christ_n their_o righteousness_n be_v of_o themselves_o and_o so_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n righteousness_n who_o know_v not_o the_o light_n christ_n in_o they_o who_o will_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n so_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n but_o will_v establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n yet_o will_v not_o such_o people_n speak_v against_o self-righteousness_n and_o against_o self-actings_a when_o as_o all_o their_o righteousness_n and_o work_n be_v of_o themselves_o how_o blind_a be_v these_o people_n who_o out_o of_o their_o own_o mouth_n have_v condemn_v themselves_o wherein_o all_o they_o do_v be_v of_o themselves_o in_o their_o will-worship_n to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n and_o will_v lay_v these_o thing_n to_o our_o charge_n who_o they_o call_v quaker_n and_o say_v that_o we_o altogether_o set_v up_o work_n before_o christ_n always_o persuade_v people_n to_o work_n and_o to_o the_o keep_v the_o commandment_n and_o the_o like_a answ_n this_o be_v false_a though_o we_o persuade_v people_n to_o be_v follower_n of_o good_a work_n and_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o commandment_n according_a to_o christ_n exhortation_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o turn_v people_n to_o work_n before_o we_o turn_v they_o to_o christ_n but_o we_o first_o exhort_v they_o to_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n so_o they_o be_v liar_n for_o this_o be_v our_o message_n to_o turn_v people_n from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n christ_n who_o lighten_v every_o man_n that_o they_o may_v have_v their_o work_n wrought_v in_o the_o light_n christ_n who_o work_v all_o our_o work_n in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o and_o he_o that_o love_v the_o light_n bring_v his_o deed_n to_o the_o light_n that_o his_o deed_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o god_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o they_o who_o be_v not_o come_v unto_o the_o light_n neither_o have_v believe_v in_o the_o light_n have_v they_o not_o manifest_v their_o ignorance_n and_o that_o all_o their_o work_n of_o righteousness_n be_v of_o themselves_o and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o righteousness_n who_o be_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n mark_n and_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o that_o all_o their_o deed_n and_o work_n be_v only_o of_o themselves_o wrought_v in_o darkness_n until_o such_o time_n as_o they_o come_v to_o be_v turn_v from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n for_o that_o which_o be_v not_o wrought_v in_o the_o light_n be_v wrought_v in_o darkness_n so_o how_o can_v such_o escape_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n who_o have_v so_o false_o accuse_v we_o that_o have_v renounce_v our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o have_v willing_o submit_v to_o the_o

to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o bless_v and_o happy_a they_o be_v that_o abide_v faithful_a even_o unto_o the_o end_n who_o be_v willing_a to_o bear_v the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o that_o they_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o until_o he_o arise_v and_o plead_v their_o cause_n but_o woe_n unto_o the_o priest_n who_o daub_v with_o untempered_a mortar_n cry_v peace_n peace_n to_o the_o people_n that_o stop_v into_o their_o mouth_n but_o prepare_v war_n against_o we_o who_o can_v stop_v into_o their_o mouth_n so_o upon_o they_o and_o upon_o their_o people_n shall_v the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v as_o a_o thief_n in_o the_o night_n and_o no_o peace_n shall_v then_o be_v to_o they_o though_o they_o now_o cry_v peace_n peace_n even_o then_o when_o

they_o know_v that_o their_o faith_n be_v never_o impute_v to_o they_o for_o righteousness_n from_o god_n so_o what_o be_v this_o to_o they_o or_o to_o the_o r_o people_n to_o talk_v of_o a_o impute_a righteousness_n who_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o light_n but_o hate_v the_o light_n and_o will_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n so_o what_o be_v this_o to_o they_o for_o abraham_n unto_o who_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v believe_v god_n and_o leave_v his_o own_o country_n and_o go_v out_o not_o know_v whither_o he_o go_v and_o be_v obedient_a in_o follow_v the_o lord_n so_o his_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o priest_n and_o to_o their_o follower_n who_o know_v not_o abraham_n faith_n which_o be_v make_v perfect_a by_o work_v for_o faith_n without_o work_v be_v dead_a if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o have_v faith_n and_o have_v not_o work_v can_v faith_n save_v he_o be_v not_o abraham_n justify_v by_o work_v when_o be_v offer_v

for_o every_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n a_o good_a tree_n can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n neither_o can_v a_o evil_a tree_n bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n so_o we_o know_v the_o priest_n by_o their_o fruit_n who_o be_v of_o that_o wicked_a one_o which_o can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n who_o be_v the_o evil_a tree_n which_o cumber_v the_o ground_n fruitless_a tree_n render_v of_o all_o people_n useless_a who_o out_o of_o the_o evil_a treasure_n of_o their_o heart_n bring_v forth_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a so_o they_o be_v evil_a know_v not_o to_o give_v good_a thing_n unto_o their_o follower_n not_o that_o i_o in_o any_o wise_a out_o of_o ill_a will_n or_o malice_n go_v about_o to_o accuse_v the_o priest_n or_o any_o people_n else_o god_n know_v that_o i_o speak_v not_o in_o contempt_n unto_o any_o but_o will_v take_v people_n off_o put_v trust_n in_o man_n and_o that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o know_v the_o lord_n and_o in_o he_o to_o trust_v that_o all_o may_v come_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o may_v teach_v they_o himself_o of_o his_o way_n who_o teach_v his_o people_n to_o profit_n and_o this_o be_v my_o end_n to_o turn_v all_o unto_o christ_n the_o light_n who_o lighten_v every_o man_n and_o that_o people_n may_v try_v their_o priest_n by_o their_o fruit_n for_o if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o good_a tree_n they_o can_v not_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n and_o do_v this_o offend_v either_o priest_n or_o people_n to_o exhort_v all_o to_o try_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n and_o to_o turn_v from_o they_o that_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n unto_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o they_o who_o lighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v come_v to_o be_v engraft_v into_o christ_n that_o in_o he_o they_o may_v come_v to_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n if_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o light_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o light_n they_o can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n for_o he_o that_o abide_v in_o christ_n the_o light_n sin_v not_o but_o out_o of_o the_o good_a treasure_n of_o his_o heart_n bring_v forth_o that_o which_o be_v good_a so_o i_o say_v my_o end_n be_v that_o all_o both_o priest_n and_o people_n may_v come_v to_o repentance_n and_o every_o man_n come_v to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o own_o way●s_n that_o they_o have_v choose_v and_o so_o every_o one_o both_o priest_n and_o people_n may_v return_v unto_o christ_n the_o light_n who_o lighten_v every_o man_n and_o will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o will_v have_v all_o man_n both_o priest_n and_o people_n to_o be_v save_v and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n who_o be_v set_v for_o salvation_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o all_o people_n may_v come_v to_o the_o light_n and_o to_o the_o brightness_n of_o his_o rise_n both_o priest_n and_o people_n that_o so_o all_o may_v come_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o lord_n who_o teach_v his_o people_n to_o profit_n that_o so_o none_o may_v follow_v after_o a_o people_n which_o can_v profit_v the_o priest_n if_o they_o be_v of_o the_o good_a tree_n which_o can_v bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n will_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o be_v try_v by_o their_o fruit_n but_o they_o be_v of_o the_o evil_a tree_n which_o can_v bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v ashamed_a to_o have_v their_o deed_n bring_v to_o the_o light_n neither_o will_v they_o come_v to_o the_o light_n to_o prove_v their_o call_n and_o minister-ship_n before_o the_o people_n lest_o they_o shall_v have_v shame_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n before_o all_o the_o people_n their_o practice_n be_v contrary_a to_o all_o the_o holy_a prophet_n and_o apostle_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o be_v plain_a they_o be_v of_o the_o evil_a tree_n which_o bring_v forth_o evil_a fruit_n can_v profit_v the_o people_n at_o all_o so_o the_o people_n who_o follow_v they_o be_v ever_o learning_n yet_o never_o able_a to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n by_o they_o so_o while_o i_o follow_v the_o priest_n though_o i_o diligent_o inquire_v unto_o they_o after_o the_o lord_n yet_o i_o find_v he_o not_o because_o i_o seek_v unto_o a_o people_n which_o can_v not_o profit_v therefore_o i_o do_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o seek_v for_o unto_o they_o so_o turn_v from_o they_o find_v no_o profit_n by_o they_o and_o then_o within_o a_o little_a while_n after_o this_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o rise_v in_o obscurity_n and_o my_o eye_n be_v open_v and_o then_o through_o the_o mercy_n and_o love_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o be_v turn_v from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o i_o and_o then_o my_o mind_n be_v turn_v from_o follow_v the_o priest_n from_o dote_v on_o they_o and_o my_o heart_n be_v change_v for_o now_o in_o the_o light_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o see_v light_n and_o how_o i_o have_v wander_v walk_v in_o

who_o moses_n in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o porphet_n do_v write_v for_o god_n who_o command_v the_o light_n to_o shine_v out_o of_o darkness_n have_v shine_v into_o my_o heart_n to_o give_v i_o the_o light_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o face_n of_o jesus_n christ_n

why_o he_o say_v that_o his_o father_n have_v send_v all_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n to_o bed_n &_o that_o he_o go_v throughout_o all_o the_o house_n himself_o to_o see_v that_o all_o the_o door_n be_v lock_v and_o bolt_v against_o i_o and_o do_v charge_v they_o all_o that_o if_o i_o do_v come_v not_o any_o of_o they_o to_o let_v i_o into_o the_o house_n if_o they_o do_v any_o of_o they_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v turn_v they_o also_o out_o of_o the_o door_n with_o i_o so_o william_n tell_v i_o these_o thing_n and_o that_o he_o dare_v not_o let_v i_o into_o the_o house_n so_o unto_o this_o day_n i_o remain_v a_o sufferer_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o true_o i_o believe_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v put_v pen_n to_o paper_n in_o reference_n as_o to_o all_o my_o suffering_n from_o my_o natural_a father_n have_v i_o not_o hear_v how_o he_o have_v report_v it_o that_o i_o run_v from_o he_o and_o the_o like_a so_o for_o the_o right_n inform_v all_o people_n understanding_n as_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o matter_n i_o have_v brief_o in_o few_o word_n declare_v something_o of_o what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o he_o towards_o i_o and_o of_o what_o word_n pass_v between_o we_o but_o i_o may_v have_v intimate_v much_o more_o of_o his_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n &_o sore_o usuage_v of_o i_o but_o that_o i_o be_o against_o lay_v open_a nakedness_n and_o have_v only_o clear_v my_o own_o innocency_n as_o touch_v false_a report_n of_o run_v from_o my_o father_n house_n and_o the_o like_a as_o also_o his_o own_o family_n and_o other_o can_v witness_v against_o he_o to_o the_o contrary_a for_o i_o if_o they_o will_v but_o testify_v so_o let_v he_o consider_v and_o look_v back_o and_o see_v what_o he_o have_v do_v against_o the_o innocent_a that_o seek_v not_o his_o own_o who_o seek_v no_o revenge_n but_o suffer_v all_o thing_n endure_v all_o thing_n and_o envy_v not_o but_o in_o the_o peace_n which_o the_o world_n can_v give_v nor_o take_v away_o rest_v satisfy_v in_o his_o father_n love_n from_o above_o and_o so_o refer_v his_o cause_n unto_o he_o that_o see_v in_o secret_a who_o reward_v open_o and_o take_v vengeance_n for_o vengeance_n be_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n so_o i_o have_v boldness_n towards_o god_n in_o all_o my_o suffering_n and_o tribulation_n yea_o very_o i_o have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n herein_o god_n witness_v in_o i_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o bear_v witness_n to_o my_o spirit_n that_o i_o suffer_v for_o well_o do_v and_o who_o shall_v then_o condemn_v i_o and_o because_o i_o can_v for_o conscience-sake_n worship_v the_o beast_n nor_o follow_v the_o blind_a guide_v any_o long_o i_o be_o persecute_v and_o forsake_v of_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o of_o brethren_n and_o sister_n and_o of_o kindred_n too_o and_o these_o thing_n have_v they_o do_v unto_o i_o that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v according_a to_o christ_n word_n who_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o my_o sake_n and_o marvel_v not_o if_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o for_o it_o hate_v i_o before_o it_o hate_v you_o if_o you_o be_v of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n will_v love_v you_o for_o the_o world_n love_v its_o own_o but_o because_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o world_n hate_v you_o because_o you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n even_o as_o i_o be_o not_o of_o the_o world_n say_v christ_n to_o they_o that_o follow_v he_o in_o the_o regeneration_n who_o turn_v people_n from_o the_o darkness_n to_o the_o light_n christ_n and_o he_o that_o forsake_v not_o father_n and_o mother_n brethren_n and_o sister_n husband_n wife_n or_o child_n and_o his_o own_o life_n too_o for_o my_o sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n say_v christ_n he_o can_v be_v my_o disciple_n and_o he_o that_o take_v not_o up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v not_o after_o i_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o i_o but_o every_o one_o that_o have_v leave_v father_n or_o mother_n brethren_n or_o sister_n husband_n wife_n or_o child_n or_o house_n or_o land_n for_o my_o name_n sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n let_v he_o rejoice_v that_o he_o be_v count_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v it_o say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o lose_v his_o reward_n but_o shall_v receive_v a_o hundred-fold_n in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v everlasting_a life_n so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o whosoever_o will_v ●ive_a godly_a in_o christ_n jesus_n must_v suffer_v for_o he_o that_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n make_v himself_o a_o prey_n to_o the_o wicked_a and_o to_o the_o unrighteous_a and_o sinner_n so_o friend_n think_v it_o not_o strange_a i_o run_v not_o with_o you_o to_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n into_o all_o uncleanness_n and_o filthiness_n and_o sorrow_n not_o for_o i_o for_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o world_n work_v death_n so_o speak_v not_o evil_a of_o the_o thing_n you_o know_v not_o lest_o you_o speak_v evil_a against_o god_n and_o though_o i_o be_o count_v as_o the_o offscouring_a of_o all_o thing_n unto_o this_o day_n and_o have_v not_o whereon_o to_o lay_v my_o head_n be_v forsake_v of_o father_n and_o of_o mother_n and_o count_v as_o one_o not_o worthy_a to_o live_v nor_o to_o inhabit_v under_o they_o who_o can_v not_o have_v so_o

because_o his_o mercy_n fail_v not_o who_o in_o his_o favour_n have_v redeem_v i_o and_o have_v have_v compassion_n when_o no_o eye_n pity_v for_o he_o have_v say_v it_o thou_o have_v a_o little_a

the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o rest_v satisfy_v so_o but_o prove_v their_o work_n and_o labour_v to_o see_v what_o live_v they_o live_v whether_o their_o word_n and_o their_o

they_o be_v not_o what_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o can_v not_o but_o for_o conscience-sake_n deny_v they_o for_o i_o see_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n liar_n cozener_n &_o
