Thus saith the Lord, Arise Sion, and thresh with a sharp threshing instrument, and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen, and is arising, and Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone to all nations, now that Christ is unto his people both the light and glory thereof. Wherein something is written in reply to a book that was set forth by the dry and night vines in and about Beverley, who scornfully nicknameth the people of God, in reviling and falsly accusing them, and calleth them Quakers, in and about York-shire.

Verse 23. and here you are and out of the head where the life is and you are Apostated and are out of the life of the truth guided by your own wills and following the Imaginations of your own hearts and are of the number of those that the Apostle speaks of in 2 Cor. 11.13.14 for he had a free spirit and was chargeable to no man 2 Cor. 11.9 but in all things kept himself for being burdensome but you are out of that condition that are chargeable and burdensome and have not the same spir t that the Apostle had who had the Lord Jesus Christ revealed in him and spoke by Divine Revelation Gal. 1. but you speak by humane invention and brain study and so lives and acts in deceit intruding by your inventions into those things you have not seen and so are contrary to the Apostle both in that 2 Cor. 11.10.11 and that of Gal. 1.11.12 15.16 but you are in your own Inventions and are Apostated out of the truth that do not speak immediately from the Mouth of the Lord as the Apostles did and so you preach your own flatteries and deceits but what is the chaff to the wheat saith the Lord or what is the form to the power you sifted chaff or fine painted expressions is for the fire and all your formings and imaginations must be burnt you speak your own words and not the Words of the Lord and he is against you Ier. 23.29 30 31 32. and you that bring another Doctrine then to know the power and light and life within as the Apostle did you are to be held accursed and you are under the curse Gal. 1.8 9 10. And whereas you say Quest you will proceed to enquire into that doctrine which saith The light in you held forth by those you in scorn and derision call Quakers and which light doth enlighten every man that cometh into the world is Christ You make enquiry and say What then is become of the Person of the Mediatour in 1 Tim. Chap. 2. ver 5. and Heb. 7.24 c. Were you but acquainted with the life of the Scriptures Reply which is Christ in us the hope of glory Col. 1.27 whom the Apostle which was a Gospel-Minister did preach warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom to know the Mediatour within him Chr st the power of God unto salvation and he did labour mightily by the power of God the Mediatourship Christ revealed in him that he might present every man perfect in Christ Jesus Col. 1.28 29. That their hearts might be comforted being knit together in love which love is Christ the divine power of righteousness who is the Mediatour of the New Covenant to bring the soul into the riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God and of the Father and of Christ Col. 2.2 3. Which had you tead on in that 1 Tim. 2.5 in the verse following it would have answered you in that thing Herein you shew your ignorance in the things of God and are blind and cannot see and you shew that you are ignorant of the same Ministery that the Apostle held forth teaching them-to know Christ in them Col. 1.27 2 Cor. 13.5 and the life in them And he was the Minister of the Gospel and had the power in him and laboured by that power in him his Ministery was not of man but of God as he did certifie to the Brethren Gal. 1.11 12. And his Exhortation was not of man but of God and he was bold in God to speak unto them the Gospel or power of God Christ in him which you here shew your selves to be ignorant of that asketh what is become of Christ have you lost him or is not the lust head in you and the Prince of the power of the air head in you and so your doctrine is of deceit and the Gospel is hid from you 2 Cor 4.1.2.3 4 5.
