A41067 A touch-stone, or, A perfect tryal by the Scriptures, of all the priests, bishops, and ministers, who have called themselves, the ministers of the Gospel whose time and day hath been in the last ages past, or rather in the night of apostacy : they are tried and weighed by the Scriptures of truth, and are found out of the life and power of the scriptures, and out of the spirit and doctrine of them that gave them forth, and quite contrary to their principle and practice, both Papists and Protestants : unto which is annexed, Womens speaking justified, &c. Fox, Margaret Askew Fell, 1614-1702. 1667 (1667) Wing F639; ESTC R7178 82,431 96

wherefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v you_o follower_n of_o i_o for_o this_o cause_n i_o have_v send_v unto_o you_o timotheus_n who_o be_v my_o belove_a son_n and_o faithful_a in_o the_o lord_n who_o shall_v bring_v you_o into_o remembrance_n of_o my_o way_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o i_o teach_v every_o where_o in_o every_o church_n 1_o cor._n 4._o and_o again_o when_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o philippian_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o let_v nothing_o be_v do_v through_o strife_n or_o vainglory_n but_o in_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n let_v each_o esteem_v other_o better_a than_o themselves_o look_v not_o every_o man_n to_o his_o own_o thing_n but_o every_o man_n also_o to_o the_o thing_n of_o other_o and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o open_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n but_o he_o say_v i_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o send_v timotheus_n short_o unto_o you_o that_o i_o also_o may_v be_v of_o good_a comfort_n when_o i_o know_v your_o state_n for_o i_o have_v no_o man_n like-minded_n who_o will_v natural_o care_v for_o your_o state_n for_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v jesus_n christ_n but_o you_o know_v the_o proof_n of_o he_o that_o as_o a_o son_n with_o a_o father_n he_o have_v serve_v i_o in_o the_o gospel_n he_o therefore_o i_o send_v unto_o you_o etc._n etc._n phil._n 2._o and_o again_o when_o he_o write_v to_o the_o thessalonian_n he_o say_v we_o send_v timotheus_n our_o brother_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o our_o fellow_n labourer_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n to_o establish_v you_o and_o comfort_v you_o concern_v your_o faith_n 1_o thess_n 3._o thus_o you_o see_v that_o this_o timotheus_n who_o be_v the_o bishop_n and_o overseer_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v a_o faithful_a labourer_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o much_o trust_v in_o and_o approve_v of_o by_o the_o apostle_n for_o he_o labour_v with_o he_o in_o the_o gospel_n as_o a_o son_n labour_v with_o his_o father_n and_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o the_o bishop_n that_o have_v be_v in_o these_o late_a age_n shall_v call_v themselves_o by_o that_o name_n since_o they_o have_v both_o derogate_a from_o their_o doctrine_n and_o principle_n and_o add_v what_o their_o own_o dark_a mind_n and_o invention_n will_v invent_v for_o in_o that_o they_o have_v erect_v unto_o themselves_o a_o supremacy_n and_o a_o superiority_n above_o other_o which_o they_o have_v practise_v and_o lord_v over_o people_n faith_n and_o conscience_n for_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n together_o under_o which_o many_o thousand_o have_v groan_v and_o suffer_v even_o until_o death_n and_o shed_v of_o their_o blood_n and_o in_o all_o these_o thing_n they_o have_v quite_o contradict_v christ_n jesus_n his_o doctrine_n practice_n and_o example_n as_o also_o all_o his_o holy_a apostle_n after_o he_o for_o he_o and_o they_o be_v always_o sufferer_n as_o have_v be_v show_v already_o and_o as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o but_o they_o be_v never_o oppressor_n nor_o layer_n of_o yoke_n and_o burden_n upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o people_n but_o they_o always_o preach_v liberty_n and_o freedom_n to_o other_o though_o they_o suffer_v themselves_o and_o there_o be_v their_o cross_n that_o they_o take_v up_o when_o they_o follow_v christ_n and_o so_o those_o church-governor_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o that_o have_v be_v bloodshedders_a that_o have_v be_v oppressor_n and_o persecutor_n they_o have_v no_o example_n neither_o from_o christ_n nor_o none_o of_o his_o apostle_n and_o so_o let_v the_o blood_n that_o they_o have_v shed_v for_o so_o many_o hundred_o of_o year_n return_v upon_o their_o own_o head_n let_v babylon_n merchant_n have_v blood_n to_o drink_v for_o they_o be_v worthy_a for_o they_o have_v be_v make_v drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n so_o the_o cup_n that_o they_o have_v give_v to_o other_o let_v they_o have_v it_o double_a for_o they_o learn_v none_o of_o this_o from_o christ_n nor_o from_o any_o of_o his_o apostle_n for_o christ_n when_o he_o send_v his_o messenger_n and_o they_o enter_v into_o a_o village_n of_o the_o samaritan_n and_o they_o receive_v he_o not_o because_o his_o face_n be_v as_o though_o he_o will_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o when_o his_o disciple_n james_n and_o john_n see_v this_o they_o say_v lord_n will_v thou_o that_o we_o command_v fire_n from_o heaven_n and_o consume_v they_o even_o as_o elias_n do_v but_o he_o turn_v and_o rebuke_v they_o and_o say_v you_o know_v not_o of_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v not_o come_v to_o destroy_v man_n life_n but_o to_o save_v they_o luke_n 9_o 55_o 56._o and_o to_o save_v man_n life_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o own_o life_n and_o shed_v his_o own_o precious_a blood_n as_o he_o say_v himself_o he_o have_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o sheep_n and_o they_o shall_v never_o perish_v yea_o he_o have_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o enemy_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v every_o one_o of_o we_o please_v his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o good_a and_o edification_n for_o even_o christ_n please_v not_o himself_o but_o as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o reproach_n of_o they_o that_o reproach_v thou_o fell_a upon_o i_o wherefore_o receive_v you_o one_o another_o as_o christ_n also_o receive_v we_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n rom._n 15._o and_o again_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o thing_n be_v in_o god_n who_o have_v reconcile_v we_o unto_o himself_o by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v give_v to_o we_o the_o ministry_n of_o reconciliation_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o himself_o not_o impute_v their_o trespass_n unto_o they_o and_o have_v commit_v unto_o we_o the_o word_n of_o reconciliation_n now_o then_o we_o be_v ambassador_n for_o christ_n as_o though_o god_n do_v beseech_v you_o by_o we_o we_o pray_v you_o in_o christ_n stead_n be_v you_o reconcile_v to_o god_n 2_o cor._n 5._o here_o be_v no_o violence_n nor_o cruelty_n use_v neither_o bondage_n

ourselves_o as_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n in_o much_o patience_n in_o affliction_n in_o necessity_n in_o distress_n in_o stripe_n and_o imprisonment_n in_o tumult_n in_o labour_n in_o watch_n in_o

jesus_n that_o be_v within_o they_o which_o preach_v in_o a_o mystery_n and_o preach_v righteousness_n very_o nigh_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o will_v cleanse_v their_o inward_a part_n and_o make_v

the_o light_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o light_n and_o here_o be_v the_o fellowship_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o light_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a rule_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o who_o live_v in_o the_o unity_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n they_o come_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o john_n have_v and_o these_o thing_n he_o

after_o what_o manner_n and_o how_o they_o do_v oppress_v people_n for_o their_o maintenance_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o sort_n of_o people_n more_o covetous_a of_o the_o world_n than_o

minister_n of_o darkness_n that_o have_v be_v in_o this_o night_n of_o apostasy_n all_o their_o endeavour_n have_v be_v to_o draw_v people_n from_o the_o light_n and_o from_o the_o unction_n of_o the_o holy_a one_o after_o they_o and_o after_o their_o imagination_n dark_a study_n and_o brain_n divination_n and_o so_o have_v deceive_v poor_a people_n and_o have_v lead_v they_o captive_a at_o
