A89842	The light of Christ, and the word of life. Cleared from the deceipts of the Deceiver, and his litterall weapons turned upon his owne head. Also the man of sin found out, who is hiding himselfe in a heape of confusion, pretending Antichrist is not yet come. Occasioned by laying open some deceipts in a booke titled, The deceiv'd and deceiving Quakers discovered; subscribed Mathew Caffin and William Jeffery, brethren in iniquitie, who are joyned to deny God, Christ, the light, and spirit, in his saints, and calls it teaching Christs spirit apart from his body, and an evill spirit, to witnesse the spirit of Christ in the saints. Set forth that the simple may see the wiles the devill hath to keepe them from the word of life, the soules salvation. / By a lover of Israels seede, called James Nayler.

it the Word which doth but declare of the Word now is the deceipt of your high notion found out who have pretended so much light and Spirit that now the true light is come and the gift of the Spirit is manifest for every one to profit withall you are found the greatest opposers and set your selves to make the people evill-affected against the light and Spirits teachings though no man can say that Jesus is Lord but by that Spirit which is given to every one to profit withall 1 Cor 12. 3. 7. And all your prayers and worships that are out of this light and before it are blind and abominable And all you prove in this your opposing the light and Word is but your selves Children of darknesse and wholy Ignorant of the Spirits teaching and the least Child of light shall Judge you herein for the least that ever knew any thing from God eyther of Judgement teaching or promise or power they know they have it in Spirit and such know that what the Saints declare of in the letter which they received of God in Spirit will not satisfie their longing soules unlesse they can have it from God in Spirit also so that your opposing the spirituall light and power doth but give occasion to all that have the lest sight of the Spirit and its teaching to see you heart blind and so joyning with the God of this world to blind the minds of others also and the least of the Children of light can you not deceive with this onely you discover your Babel which you have builded without the light and Spirit in your Imaginations from the letter without the light the ground of all the false worships sects opinions and devisions The seate of the hypocrite and Court of Conceites in which you blesse your selves in darknesse without God in the world not having the Father and the Son in you and so are out of the doctrine of Christ 2 Epistle of John 9. 10. And so are shut out of the habitation of the Children of light O blind men how hath your wisdome perverted you and the Devill deceived you Is this the doctrine of Christ that his light is not sufficient to lead without something else joyned with it That the Spirit is false and erroneous that bids take heed to a light within Luke 11. 35 And that Christ did not Commend people to a light within Is this the doctrine of Christ That men are not led into all truth by a light within them John 16. 13. Rom 8. 14 That to suppose that God in men is their teacher is an error John 6. 45. John 14. 26. John 17 23 That to declare the light within is another report and another Spirit That its an error to say that Christ is in the Saints in their sufferings suffering with them Acts 9 5. 2 Cor 1. 5. Colo 1. 24 That its an error to say that is the true light even the light of the world that lighteth every man that comes into the world and that it alone is sufficient Joh 1. 9. John 8. 12. And that the light of the world is the onely way which leads to all other things but no other thing can lead to it but it selfe John 14. 6. John 8. 12. And much more such like doctrine the man of sin is not afraid to preach openly thereby to deny the light of Christ to be sufficient least that light should reveale him all against the doctrine of Christ And that he may not be suspected to be the Antichrist and man of sin who is thus opposing Christ and pleading for sin you would perswade us that the Antichrist will but be one single person when he comes That so while people are looking for him in a single person he may thus oppose the light and spirituall appearance of Christ in his Thousands and ten thousands who are gathered as the sand of the Sea for multitude to oppose the light and plead for sinne And to confound your selves you say againe that even now are there many Antichrists but cannot see your selves to be they who are armeing your selves thus against his light and appearance and as one of his last shifts to set the letter in his stead which doth but declare of his appearance who is the light of the world made manifest to enlighten them that sit in darknesse and destroy the workes of the Devill in all that beleeve and follow him And where this light is received and followed you are therewith Comprehended your worke and the end of it and in all that you doe in thus opposing the light of the world you are but breaking your selves against the Corner Stone foolish women who are pulling downe your own house with your owne hands for the more you resist the light the more it shines and the more you Raile against the light and Spirit the more you are manifest to be out of the doctrine of Christ who is that light and Spirit and you doe but give an opportunity to all that see your worke to see the Innocency of that light you oppose and to see you set against that which is the onely thing testified of in the Scriptures and so shall that in every tender Conscience witnesse against you and for that Spirit you resist So behold your doctrine and compare it with the Apostles and with Christs and the Prophets and let that of God in your conscience g●ve righteous Judgement upon you if this of yours be the doctrine of Christ had John said concerning Christ This is the true light that li●hteth every man that cometh into the world but it is not sufficient without something else had he been a forerunner of Christ or of something else Had Christ said I am the light of the world beleeve in the light and follow it but it is not sufficient without something else with it for it is but a naturall light had not he then taught them a naturall foundation in stead of a spirituall who said beleeve in the light that you may be the Chi●dren of light had the Apostles gone forth to preach Christ the light for every one to beleeve in said this is our message wee have received of God and declare unto you that God is light and whatsoever makes manifest is light and all things that are made manifest are reproved by the light but this light is not sufficient had they then preached Christ all in all a sole ground and authour of faith nay had they not been mad-men that would have beleeved them if 〈◊〉 had thus preached as you doe a light and Spirit but not 〈…〉 Had the Prophets preached a Covenant of light 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to beleeve and when they had done told them that it was not sufficient without the letter had not they destroyed their faith in their generation before the letter was written nay goe through all the Scriptures and find any of the Children of light in your doctrine if you can till then for

all things was made and saith in him is life and the life was the light of men and that this light shined in darknesse but the darknesse comprehends it not And this light thou denies and would limit to some persons who act in darknesse and cannot comprehend it though it shine in darknesse wherefore saith the blind guide this is another report and another Spirit and such a thing is not to be found in all the Scriptures but cannot see thy blind Spirit opposing the living Spirit of light and life in all the Saints both in Scriptures and to this day And Simeon the Prophet he testifies to this light and saith He is prepared before the face of all people a light to lighten the Gentiles and the Glory of his people Israell and calls it Gods salvation Luke 2. 30 31 32. But saith the false Prophet and Antichrist this is not sufficient alone though it be Israells glory and salvation and the Gentiles light And saith Christ of himselfe I am the light of the world he that followes me shall not abide in darknesse but shall have the light of life John 8. 12. But saith Antichrist this light is not sufficient of it selfe And saith Christ Take heed that the light that 's in thee be not darknesse The light of the body is the eye therefore when thine eye is single the whole body is full of light but when thy eye is evill thy whole body is full of darknesse Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darknesse And this he spake to the people and the Pharisees Luke 11. But saith Antichrist it is not to be found in all the Scriptures that Christ or any of his did Counsell Ignorant people to take heed to a light within them and saith the Blasphemer False and Erronious is that Spirit that bids men attend to a light within So the lyar and the Antichrist is now revealeing and there are many Antichrists who thus oppose Christ his light and doctrine who have the hornes of blasphemy and dare blaspheme God in his Temple Calling the Spirit of Christ false and Erroneous And saith that to suppose that God in men is their teacher is an Error not knowing the Scriptures when the Scripture saith You shall all be taught of God John 6. 45. And know you not that yee are the Temple of the living God as God hath said I will dwell in them and walke in them and the Temple of God is holy whose Temple ye are but sayest thou for to suppose God to teach thee is an Error and so art not afraid to blaspheme God in his Temple And saith the Scripture All thy Children shall be taught of the Lord Isa 54. 13. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them to the greatest Jere. 31. 34. Heb 8. 11. But saith the Children of darknesse where the Son of perdition sits in the Temple of God this is Error who are strangers to this Covenant of light and without God in the world who are of such the Apostle tells on Eph 4. who because of the blindnesse of their hearts through denying the light within are alienated from the life of God and so become past-feeling and so are given to sin and plead for it though it be their destruction for all that deny the light within are heart-blind and so strangers to the life And here are all you blind guids of all sorts enemies to the light stumbling at it which is the Corner Stone and so all that hate the light loves your evill deeds and so plead for them while you live and so the words of Christ is fullfilled upon you John 3. 19 20. And saith Christ I am come a light into the world that whosoever beleeveth in me should not abide in darknesse and hee exhorts the Pharisees and unbeleevers who beleeved the Scriptures to beleeve in the light of the world which John calls the true light which ligheth every man that cometh into the world and saith Christ God so loved the world that hee gave his onely begotten Sonne that whosoever beleeveth on him should not perish but have everlasting life but he that beleeveth not is condemned already and this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darknesse rather than light and this he spake of them that beleeved the letter as you blinde guids doe now but would not beleeve in the light of the world as you doe now who deny Christ to be the light of the world and would limit him only to be the light of Beleevers which beleevers when searched you are found to be enemies to the light but saith they that beleeve he is a light to lighten the Gentiles Luk. 2. 32. And the people that sate in darknesse saw a great light and to them that sate in the Region and shaddow of death light is sprung up Math 4. 16. But saith Antichrist hee inlightneth none but such as are inlightned already that so he may keepe all in darknesse that are in darknesse but the Children of light know that there is no other thing to inlighten them that sit in darknesse whose minds the God of this world hath blinded but the light of Christ and till then the Gospell is hid and the vaile is over the heart and all other meanes till the eye be open is unprofitable and it is his light alone which is that eye and his Spirit alone that takes away that vaile 2 Cor 3. 16 17. And that it is his Spirit alone that guides into all truth John 16. 13. Even the same Spirit which reproves the world of sin ver 8. But saith Antichrist men are not lead into all truth by a light within so by thy doctrine the Spirit of truth must either not be within or else darknesse within for sayest thou men are not lead into all truth by a light within but saith the Scriptures Yee have an unction from the holy one and yee know all things and this anoynting abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same anoynting teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lye and even as it hath taught you yee shall abide in him but saith the lyar that spirit is false and erroneous that bids men give attendance to the light within as their onely teacher when the Spirit of God saith Yee need not any man to teach you but as the same anoynting that abideth in you teacheth you of all things and no lye is in it and commands them to abide therein And this spirit thou calls false and erronious and so art found that Blasphemer against the Spirit of God and an open lyar who saith there is not such a Scripture as directs to a light within for the onely teacher and though in thy Book thou sayest wee must wrastle against

mind and guide the heart of man which is in darknesse such a doctrine as this was never preached by any of Christs Ministers whose message was to preach Christ all-sufficient in all to work the whole work in fallen man both to light and life which if thy doctrine be not quite contrary let the work in thy book testifie Thy second thing that thou wouldst prove is that the letter of the Scripture is the word of God and so the Rule and touchstone to judge spirits with and that by which the world must be judged and much such like that belongs to God and his Spirit alone in Christ Jesus wouldst thou in opposition thereto ascribe to the letter not knowing what the word Rule and Judge is And this to prove thou addes a great heap of confusions and contradictions but cannot find one Scripture that saith the letter is the word But thou instances that place Marke 7. 12 13. which hath relation to the 5 Commandement and with a deal of confidence thou affirmes that Christ calls the letter the word in this place because he saith they make the word of God of none effect by their traditions so thou hast proved the letter of that Commandement to be thy word but in thy 24 page having forgot thy word thou overthrows it againe and sayes the Apostle calls that the letter of the Law which killeth and the ministration of death written and engraven in stones by which no flesh shall be justified of which letter the Apostles was not Ministers of So by thy proofe thy word is that by which no flesh shall be justified but is the letter that killeth and ministration of death of which words the Apostles was not Ministers and in thy 39 page thou sayes it is done away so thou hast lost thy word and such like wild confused drunken stuffe thou hast to prove the letter the word wherein thou hast rightly proved thy word to be that which the Apostles was no Ministers of nor by it shall any be justified and this is thy main pillar which falls thus on thy own head but where the light of Christ is denyed the blind must needs stumble though at noon day but they that have the word know that the word they made voyd by their traditions was what God had written in their hearts of which the outward was a figure Isa 51. 7. Psal 119. 11. Mat. 13. 15. Another proof thou brings Acts 2. 41. which saith they that gladly received Peters word were baptized in which thou hast proved the letter not to be the word for they that Peter preached to had the letter before they received Peters word which word was Christ of which the letter testifies Such like as these are all the rest of thy proofes many grosse lies mixt amongst them not worth the while to gather or repeat after thee As thou art not ashamed in thy 25 page to lye against the Apostles words saying they were Ministers of the letter which the Apostle plainly denies 2 Cor. 3. 6. As indeed is the most of thy work in thy book to oppose plaine Scripture and contradict thy selfe As for instance Saith Paul Gal. 1. When it pleased the Father to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him I went c. Sayest thou page 26. The Apostles went forth testifying the Lord Jesus not come within them Saith Christ the Spirit of truth When he is come he shall testifie of me Sayest thou page 33. Which Spirit the Saints receiving did not declare him to be their onely inheritance Saith Christ The Spirit of truth shall guide you into all truth John 16. 13. Sayest thou page 15. Men are not led into all truth by a light within Saith Christ Take heed that the light that is in thee be not darknesse Luke 11. Sayest thou False and erronious is that Spirit that bids men give attendance to a light within Saith Christ John 5. 25. The houre is coming and now is when the dead shall hear the voyce of the Son of God c. Sayest thou page 45. Not come and now is Saith the Apostle 2 Cor. 4. 6. God who commanded light to shine out of darknesse hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God c. And speaks of some whom the God of this world had blinded their minds least the light of the glorious Gospell should shine unto them Sayest thou page 8. as to the same thing not from a teacher within but from the Apostles who plainly affirme that they were to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God so putting the Apostles instead of God and belying them says they affirme it when the Apostle saith God gives it and not they And thus thou shewes thy selfe all along to be that man of sin that old gainsayer who opposeth thy selfe against the truth of the Scriptures and yet would have the letter thereof to be the word which thou canst thus turne and wrest against the truth but the word thou knows not which cannot be wrested altered nor changed nor canst thou prove the letter to be it though many crooked wayes thou takes to doe it but its hard to take the letter to prove against the word which doth testifie of the word from whence it came But seeing thou canst not prove the letter to be the word I shall prove that the letter is not the word and the letter it selfe shall witnesse with me therein First That which one may have and not have the word is not the word but one may have the letter and not have the word so the letter is not it That one may have the letter and not have the word is plaine John 5. 38 39. The Jewes had the Scriptures and Christ bids them search them and they thought to have eternall life in them yet Christ tells them they had not the word So the letter cannot be the word which one may have and yet not have the word Whosoever hath the word hath life but so hath not all who have the letter Whosoever hath the word hath God but so have not all who have the letter The word is without beginning or without ending but so is not the letter That which can be changed by men is not the word but the letter is and hath been changed by men 1 Pet. 1. 25. The word of the Lord came to such as had the letter and some of them received it and some received it not yet all had the letter and believed it All that hear the word it quickens but many hear the letter but are still dead in sin And such they are who know not to distinguish between the word it selfe and the letter which is the declaration thereof which letter the Devill and wicked men get to plead against the word and for their sins which is the great use the letter is wrested to at this day let any of the servants of God reprove

sin in the word of the Lord and presently the Serpent gets a Scripture to plead for it and so to give God the lye which was his work before the letter was to wit to oppose the word in open lying but now hath got the letter to hide him and can now come as boldly with it is written Luke 4. 10. to uphold his sin and imperfection as ever he did with his lye to Eve to set up his kingdome of sin and imperfection at the first which then he got in by subtilty without Scripture but now by the letter would maintaine it by force and if any believe to attaine that estate againe before he entred with boldnesse from the letter he will prove him an heretick and find Scripture to murther him for it also he having but power to doe it and this is the use the Scriptures are of when such give meanings of them and preach them whose eye he hath blinded and have not the word in them from which the Scriptures came and without which none know them nor understand them And thus the Jewish Rabbies put Christ to death by the letter John 19. 7. And so doth he suffer to this day in whom ever he is by the worlds Teachers wresting the letter therefore saith Peter such wrest all Scriptures to their own distruction 2 Pet. 3. 16. And this is the ground of the Devills envy against the children of light at this day because we exhort people to the Spirit of Christ and to his light to enlighten their mindes that they may not read without understanding and so wrest the Scriptures to their own destruction which things we our selves did while we was in our fallen wisdome for while man is in darknesse the best of Gods gifts are perverted to a wrong end but being enlightned from the word the gift is seen and sanctified to its right end without which it cannot for God hath placed the blessing and right use of all his mercies in his Son who is the light of the world the word by which all was made and is upholden therefore is he first to be preached who is first and last to enlighten people that sit in darknesse death and delusion which light being first received all the gifts of God are yea and amen therein to his praise and the creatures good for without faith all is lost and it is not faith in the gift that saves but faith in the giver for many did believe in the Scripture and thought to have eternall life therein but could not believe in the light of the vvorld and so denyed the giver and the Scriptures could not save these but in their thoughts thereof deceived themselves who had not the word in them and so stuck in the letter but would not come to the light of life for it is he that hath the Son hath life and not every one that hath the letter and such alone have the word of life which such as stick in the letter knows not nor can hear John 8. 47. Nay there was many that heard Christ speak but did not nor could they hear the word John 8. 43. And this was much more then the letter yet such blind and deaf creatures being blinded by the God of this world they thought to have eternall life in the Scripture Saith Christ v. 47. He that is of God heareth Gods words ye therefore hear them not because ye are not of God yet did Christ speak the words of God and they did hear him carnally as carnall men doe the letter and could make him answer to his speech but could not hear the words of God as Christ plainly saith and here thou maist read thy blindnesse Also that place Acts 17. which you think makes so much for you to prove the letter the word it doth but fall on your own heads as all other Scriptures doe for them of Berea was not called more noble then them of Thessalonica because they had the Scriptures read for the Jews of Thessalonica had the Scriptures read every Sabbath day but this was their nobility in that they received the word gladly with all readinesse of mind and then searched the Scriptures dayly first they received the word to enlighten and then searched the Scriptures in the light so this doth plainly prove that they had not the word before though they had Scripture before so that here you doe but prove that the letter is not the word Also this place clearly proves that one may have the Scriptures all their lives and read them in way of worship constantly for so did both these sorts of Jewes and yet neither know word nor Scriptures untill they received the word of light but when the word is received or not received that makes the difference of believers and unbelievers the one owns the other envies and persecute though both have the Scriptures this Scripture proves this in the Jewes and your practice proves the same in you Gentiles who call your selves Christians who are found joyning with the lewd people as they did and stirring up their minds to persecu●e through your lyes which otherwise might be silent so your worke is seene and makes it manifest what word you know as all thy yes and slanders in thy booke may test●fie thee to be one of that envious broode which is the most they serve for for us they touch not yet is thy reward no lesse yet this all may note that the searching of the Scriptures without the word first received cannot find the way to faith as this scripture doth plainly prove for till the eye be opened with the light of the word of life The Scriptures are a mystery to the Carnall understanding and all that man can doe with them in that state is to wrest them to his own destruction 2 Pet. 3. 16. And you who are Judging of Scriptures and setting others so to doe without the light of Christ are they who lead the blind and resist the holy Spirit as did your fathers so doe you resist the Spirit with your Imaginations from the letter Be ashamed of your doctrine hath the Spirit given out the letter to testifie of the light of the world and its suffic●e●cy and that there is no other way out of the world but Christ the light of the world and that the light the way are one And doe you pervert this against the light to prove it not sufficient Hath God given his Word to his seede in every generation and hath promised that it shall never depart out of the mouth of that seede for ever Isa 59. 21. By which Word all was made and all his are to be guided and sanctified and because the testimony of some few of those who had this Word is in writing to witnesse that Christ is this Word and that all are to waite for him And will you take this letter and pervert it against this Word to set it in its stead to keepe from this Word and call

shame cease calling us deceived and deceiving Quakers many of us have been too long deceived with such blind guides enemies to the light who have alwayes resisted the Spirit but the light hath appeared and is received by which we see the deceivers and no more by them can wee be deceived neither can Antichrist cover himselfe in the letter whose worke is to devoure the light and Spirit that gave it forth it will not serve your turne whose end is contrary that which was given forth to testifie of the light of the world will never say it 's not sufficient and that which saith he is the authour and finisher you cannot make it say there must be something before him and that which saith hee is all in all will not limit him and that which saith the Spirit giveth life the same saith the letter kills so behold your work and be ashamed such dead deceitfull blind doctrine is sutable to such dead workes you bring forth and darke wayes you walke in the Children of light sees you whose faces are turned from you and are set out of the world in which your Religion stands conformable to it and in vaine doth Pharaoh pursue or A●…aleck smite the hindmost it is but that you may be drown'd in your envy and with the floods of your own confusion that thereby your names may be blotted out and become a curse before the Lord and his people for all your envy and hard speeches you have spoken against the truth slanders and false accusations you cast upon the servants thereof though wee have not desired this evill da● to come upon you by persisting in your wickednes the Lord he knoweth and for the abominable lyes thou hast cast upon us in thy booke wee are content to beare them being no other thing then our portion in this world yet that thou hast spoken them falsely every day shall make them more manifest And this I shall say unto them all before all the world if the Lord our righteousnesse whose righteousnesse we serve in soule and spirit doe not cleare us thereof by a godly conversation then paper and inck will not so to the Lord and into the hands of his power we referre our selves therein And this I say as of the Scriptures God is at liberty to speake to his people by them if he please and where they are given by inspiration he doth so and so is he at liberty to speake by any other created thing as to Balaam by his Asse or by his owne Immediate voyce but of him I have learned to know his word from that he speakes by and not to limit him though you have not And this I say further that men may read the Scriptures in the booke without all their time and till the eye and eare be opened within with the light of Christ they cannot heare the words of God in the Scriptures no nor from Christ himselfe were he in the flesh his owne words shall be my witnesse herein John 8. 47. and your practises prove it dayly ANd now a word to thy brother in the latter part of thy book whose work is to clear the Whore of Babylon from being the Antichrist and that the man of sin and the Antichrist will but be a single person such a work as none of the men of God ever undertook but the children must plead for their Mother And yet in thy pleading for her least thou should injure the kingdom of the man of sin the Antichrist thou first puts it out of question that none needs to fear him come already they may sleep quietly for that and when he doth come he will be but a single man so none that 's now alive needs fear in the least that they are he for sayest thou he will be but one man thus hast thou cleared the world of the man of sin and the Antichrist for the present but cannot see thy selfe to be he who art pleading for his kingdome till dooms day as people call it in thy 76 page And who art lying against the holy Ghost saying that Antichrist will be but one man and that he is not yet come contradicting the Spirit of Christ who saith even now there are many Antichrists 1 John 2. 18. So thou art the Antichrist who art the lyar 1 John 2. 22. And saith the Spirit he is Antichrist who denyes the Father and the Son so thy companion is one who saith To suppose God in men to teach them is an error p. 17. thus he denyes the Father to be his onely Teacher And thou art another who calls it an error to preach up the Spirit of Christ within for a Teacher p. 68. and calls it an evill Spirit and herein thou denies the Son and many such Antichrists there are in the world who both deny the Father and the Son for he that denyes the one denyes both and he is an Antichrist that so doth and no new thing it is to the children of light to see such who have received the spirit of the world in their hearts to deny the Father and Son there to teach and lead and these was the Antichrists John saw who was gone out into the world and so the Spirit of God and of the world could not both be confessed in one heart 1 John 4. but where the Spirit that was of God is there Christ is confessed in heart and God also but who hath corrupted his ways saith in his heart There is no God Ps 14. 1. So try thy wayes and try thy words who denies Christ within and calls it teaching up the Spirit of Christ apart from his body to preach Christ within and sayes its an evill Spirit to say Christ is in them and thus the Reprobate who knows not Christ in thee art become a Teacher 2 Cor. 13. 5. Hast thou not here shewed thy selfe the Antichrist indeed who thus opposes Christ in his Saints Doth not he say Without me you can doe nothing abide in me and I in you he that abideth in me and I in him the same bring●●… forth much fruit for without me you can do nothing Joh. 15 4 5. Doth not Christ say to the Father touching the Saints I in them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one John 17. 23. Did Christ here preach up his Spirit apart from his body Or was this an evil Spirit and a Spirit of error as thou says it is in us And did not all his Ministers preach the same Doth not Paul say when it pleased the father to reveal his Son in me that I might preach him Gal. 1. 16. And Christ in you the hope of glory whom we preach Col. 1. 27. And know ye not that Christ is in you except you be Reprobates 2 Cor. 13. 5. My little children of whom I travell in birth againe till Christ be formed in you Gal. 4. 19. And he that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son hath not
