you are carried about with windes without fruit as to God And further in the 13th verse Iude describes such more at large as raging wayes of the Sea foaming out your own shame wandering stars and your portion he hath described saying To whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever And further Iude brings Enochs prophesie of the Lords coming with ten thousand of his Saints to execute judgement upon all the ungodly for their ungodly deeds and hard speeches And Iude further describes them that the Lord would execute judgement upon stiling them that they might be known in the 16. ver These are they which are murmurers complainers walking after their own lusts speaking great swelling words having mens persons in admiration because of advantage Do not you Priests believe that you are of this number whom Iude hath described in matter of practise yet further Iude openeth such more in the 18. and 19. verses saying how the Apostle spoke of such before how there should be mockers in the last time who should walk after their own ungodly lusts saying These be they who separate themselves sensual having not the Spirit Mark Iude saith these who walk after their own ungodly lusts such as are sensual separated from the Spirit Consider therefore if Iude have not given a clear description who they are that the Saints are to be aware of and how such as thou may be discerned from them that fear the Lord both by doctrine and conversation Now consider if thou can contrary this and bring a proof of any of the Ministers of Christ that persecuted any about Religion for an example for thee and thy brethren who profess your selves Ministers but prove your selves persecutors Then shew me who they are that Jude wrote to the Saints to be aware of that goes in Cains way and Balaams way or who they are that turned the grace of God into lasciviousness who are crept in at unawares and who are the filthy dreamers as bruit beasts separated from the spirit and know nothing but what they know naturally that walks in Cains way and Balaams way and loves to feast and the upper rooms also raging waves foaming out their own shame fruitless trees who liveth in their own ungodly lusts ●aving mens persons in admiration because of advantage Now Daniel if thou and the Doctor Priests of Ely called Justices can clear your selves to be none of this number abovesaid whom Jude hath described how such might be known both by doctrine and practise and also set forth their portion then let us whom you cast into Ely Goale hear from you who they are that walk in Cains and Balaams way for it will lie upon you to clear your selves by doctrine and example according to Scripture Rule or else own your own Scriptures and Iudes sentence your portion For Daniel according to thy words I have read Iudes Epistle and do bear my testimony against all such as walk in Cains way persecuting the just and also against all such as run greedily after the errour of Balaam for reward and against such filthy dreamers which are crept in at unawares who were ordained of old for condemnation and against such as are sensual having not the Spirit who live in their own ungodly lusts And for a farther testimony that you are of that number that Iude hath sentenced who walk in Cains way persecutig the just remember Ely Goale and all that take notice of your actions stand witness against you have you not cast fourteen men into prison and kept us twenty weeks from Sessions to Sessions when no evil can he proved against us done either to God or man and you Priests have set on the Bench both to be our Accusers and Judges how much false imprisonment have we received by you must not a record of this be kept think you with the Lord who assuredly takes notice of all your proceeding against the Innocent And thou Daniel cryed keep them up Goaler who came by the Goale door and smote a prisoner on the face where is there any such persecuters in England as you Priests shew your selves to be Well might Jude say Woe unto such as go in the way of Cain and run greedily after the error of Balaam for reward such murmurers and complainers do you not murmur and grudge that we whom you persecute should live amongst you and do you not complain to the Magistrates against us have you not informed the Judge of the Assize to keep such and such in prison whom your envy is against let the witness in you speak for whatsoever is committed in darkness is made manifest in the light do you not believe that the Lord will avenge for these things Now Daniel its like thou wilt call this a railing accusation but Jude did not rail when he said such and such were to perish and that such as were crept in at unaware were ordained of old for condemnation and that such as walked in Cains way a● Balaams way dreamers murmurers complainers and the like that walked afte● their own ungodly lusts that to such was reserved the blackness of darkness for ever this was and is no railing accusation bu● the words of truth which is and must b● fulfilled Be warned therefore O ye Priests an● take heed of fighting against the Lord 〈◊〉 persecuting his people for what is done unto his is done unto him for the Lord is on our side In vain it is for man to strive against him who will by no means acqu●● the wicked and if you have any regard unto your own souls take heed what you do the day of account hastens and I never knew any fight against God and prosper Tho. Richardson The End
pipes to convey water unto them as the other rooms had but the water was stopped which caused the uncleanness Then I were something troubled in minde and desired to know the reason why some of the rooms should have such abundance of water and some but a small quantity and some none but it were shewed me that the Porter that were in high esteem had power to serve the whole house with water and according to desert he supplied the rooms thereof and all those servants that were faithful to their Lord had water in abundance and those servants that had had an eye to themselves their water abated and if they did not stand up and shew themselves faithfull whilst they had water their rooms would grow unclean as well as those that had their water course stopped already then I enquired in my minde what might become of those servants that were at ease or sloathful and it was shewed me that the Lord of the building would come and the unfaithful servants he would cast forth of his house and place others in their rooms for he could not endure unfaithful servants and it seemed to me that it would be much shame trouble and terrour for them that were cast out of such a Lords service for their unfaithfulness to their master And so I awaked and it were opened to my understanding how my spirit hath been in this exercise as aforesaid and it being cleared to my understanding afresh I am constrained to write the substance of the matter that the learned may read and in reading every one may read themselves lest they lose their learning and can obtain it no more Wisbitch Goale Tho. Richardson The fruits of the Priests of Ely in the County of Cambridge published wherein Priest Brunsel and Priest Holder called Justices and Priest Langhorn their Brother by Trade the fruits of their Ministrey and their practice also described as fol●oweth That people may judge whether such as these be able Ministers of the Gospel or whether such are fit to be judges of the Law yea or nay if not whether people ought not to beware of them and such like as Jude hath exhorted us much more because the Spirit of the Lord hath made them manifest both in doctrine and practice Daniel Langhorn Priest of Ely THis is to thee who were at Ely Goale door speaking to a friend of God and I being a Prisoner told thee the Tree was known by its fruit and that both thou and thy fruits was manifest and thou went away and bid me look in the Epistle of Jude as if Jude described such as we are to be out of the truth therefore to satisfie thee and others I have read Judes Epistle and do herein write a testimony of Judes testimony that thou and all other who shall see this Letter may be perswaded or however left without excuse what sort of people Jud● wrote against or exhorted the Saints to beware of as may be seen being upon record Jude a servant of Jesus to them that are sanctified saying when I gave diligence to write unto you of the common salvation it was needful for me to write unto you and to exhort you that you earnestly contend for the Fai●h that was once delivered to the Saints for there were certain men crept in unawares who were ordained of old for condemnation ungodly men turning the grace of God into lasciviousness and denying the Lord Jesus How canst thou clear thy self here Daniel art thou not one of those that are crept in or art thou entered in by the door if not what are they that climbe up another way or such as are crept in at unawares into a Steeple-house for so much a year though some of the world are not aware of you yet the children of Light can see you And Jud●s exhortation we dearly own as to beware of such as Jude describes who were ordained of old for condemnation Likewise Judes exhortation is to the Saints to beware of the filthy dreamers that defile the flesh despise dominion and speak evil of dignities Now Daniel wouldst thou turn these words upon us or they stand a witness against thee and thy brethren for I testifie as before the Lord that we whom thou in scorn callest Quakers do not deny dominion but are real in heart for the establishing thereof therefore own thy own Scriptures which is for thee and thy Brethren who are the filthy dreamers for filthy lucre and upon thy head I leave it he that hath a dream let him tell a dream saith the Lord and he that hath my word let him speak it faithfully If thou canst not believe that thou and thy beethren are of that number before mentioned whom Jude hath sentenced filthy dreamers like the Sodomites who were ordained of old for condemnation For a further description mark the 11th ver for the proof and confirmation and also thy portion thou art used to divide the Scriptures for money divide this verse amongst thee and thy brethren Woe unto them saith Jude for they have gone in the way of Cain and runned greedily after the errour of Balaam for reward and perished in the gain-saying of Core Did not Cain persecute about Religion and did not Balaam love the wages of unrighteousness doth not thou and thy brethren run greedily after the errour of Balaam for reward therefore in Cains way and Balaams way own your own Scriptures and Judes sentence which is perishing in the gainsaying of Core Did not Cain in envy persecute about Religion doth not the Doctor Priests in Ely and thou also persecute about Religion in Goales and Pulpits your tongues and actions make you manifest to go in the way of Cain and further for the clearing of your practise Iude in the 12. verse describes such out how they may be known speaking of the spots in your Feasts of Charity feeding without fear clouds without water carried about with windes trees without fruit twice dead plucked up by the roots how canst thou clear thy self here Daniel doest thou not use to feast I heard thou wert at a Feast in Ely and called for the other Song is not this one of thy spots that thou art known by what could a drunkard have done more is this the practice of a Minister of Christ or of such an one as Iude hath sentenced which is crept in at unawares who were of old for condemnation Again carried about with windes is not thy Doctrine windy how hath it wrought effect so in any of thy hearers as to change their hearts from evil or what fruits are brought forth to God in thee and thy brethren or in your assemblies Thou may read what the fruit of the Spirit is it is love joy peace and the like how little of these fruits doth appear either in you that are called teachers or in those whom you etach but instead of love and peace we finde pride envy strife and persecution abounds and these fruits shews that
