AN EPISTLE From the People in scorn called QUAKERS To all People upon the Earth to read over That they may see what the People called QVAKERS hold Concerning God Concerning Christ Concerning His Death Concerning His Resurrection Concerning His Blood Concerning His Offering Concerning Redemption Concerning Salvation Concerning Justification Concerning Faith and Hope Printed in the Year 1668. An Epistle to all People upon the Earth to read over that they may see what the people called Quakers hold concerning God Christ c. ALL what is written of in the Law the Prophets and the Gospel in the new Testament and before the Law concerning God Christ and his Birrh and Miracles and Sufferings and his Resurrection we own and all the Promises as the first Promise the Seed of the Woman shall bruise the Serpents head which is Christ Jesus and how that he through death destroyed Death and the power of death the Devil and how that Christ being the Priest made higher then the Heavens after the order of Melchisedeck ends the Levitical Priesthood and how that he by one offering offered himself once for all ends all the Jews Offerings that were typical of him figures and shadows and put down the Sacrifices and Christ by his Blood which cleanseth from all sin whose Blood was shed for all men puts an end to the blood of Bulls and goats which was to be offered and sprinkled upon the Jews which Blood of Christ every one must feel sprinkling their Consciences from dead works to serve the Living God and also Christs Righteousness we own who is the the Lord our Righteousness by which self righteousness mans righteousness which is as filthy rags is denied and the righteousness of the Law among the Iews the Righteousness of Christ ends and people are to be saved by it and not that people should live in their sins and live in their own unrighteousness nor in the righteousness of the works of the Law of the Iews and not that People should profess Christ and live in their own unrighteousness and sins and die in them for Christ came to take away sin and to make an end of sin and finish transgression and every one that professes Christ and names his Name should depart from iniquity and not live in it for none can call him Lord but by the holy Ghost then how can people call him Lord by the unclean spirit and he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of his and God so loved the Word that he gave his only begotten son into the World that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting Life and Christ is the Light of the World and he doth enlighten every one that comes into the World and saith believe in the Light that you may become children of the Light and the Faith of Gods Elect we own which purifies the heart and gives victory over the World and access to God without which none can please God which faith justifieth and sanctifieth and this Faith is the Gift of God and Christ is our Hope which purifies as he is pure And the holy Ghost we own according to the Scriptures and there is three that bear record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Spirit and these three are one and there is three that bear record in the Earth the Spirit the Water and the Blood and these three agree in one and Christ's Blood was shed for all men and was the Offering not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole World who was crucified without the Gates at Ierusalem and was a propitiation not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole World so we are bought with a price 1 Cor. 6.20 and we are to glorifie God with our bodies souls and our spirits for they are Gods 1 Cor. 7.23 we are bought with a price and so all is to mind the Truth in the inward parts the hidden man of the heart which in the sight of God is of great price 1 Per. 1.19 And we are not redeemed with corruptable things as Silver and Gold from a vain conversation but with the precious Blood of Christ as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot and so Christ hath purchased his Church with his own Blood to present it to God without spot or wrinkle and so Christ is King Prophet and Priest and so God was in Christ reconciling the World unto himself And Christ who was in the form of God thought it no robbery to be equal with God but made himself of no reputation but took upon him the form of a Servant and was formed in fashion of a man he humbled himself and became obedient unto the death even the death of the Cross and therefore God hath highly exalted him and given him a Name above every name and there is no Salvation by any other name under the whole Heaven but the Name of Christ Jesus And so Christ Jesus died and rose again 1 Thes 4.14 and 5.10 Christ who died for us that whether we wake or sleep we should live together with him who was dead and is alive and lives for evermore whose Garments he makes white with his Blood 1 Cor. 15.3 how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and that he was buried and that he rose the third day according to the Scriptures Rom. 5.6 In due time Christ died for the ungodly and God hath set forth his Love towards us that while we were yet Sinners Christ died for the ungodly Rom. 14.9 To this end Christ both died and revived that he might be Lord both of quick and dead Rom 8.34 It is Christ that died ye rather that is risen again who is also at the right hand of God making intercession for us And whereas many scandals have been cast upon us as that we deny Christ above the Stars Sun Moon and Elements To this we say all Power in Heaven and Earth is given to Christ if all Power in Heaven and Earth Mark be given unto him then he must needs be above the Sun Moon and Elements and yet he will dwell in his people for he ascended far above all Heavens that he might fill all things Ephes 4.10 The second false Accusation is that the Quakers denies God above the Elements Sun Moon and Stars Answ God we own who is a Spirit and to be worshipped in Spirit and Truth and Heaven is his Throne and Earth is his Foot-stool and he fills Heaven and Earth and the Heaven of Heavens is not able to contain him and he upholds all things by his Word and Power and is in all through all and above all God blessed for ever and so then he must needs be above the Sun Moon Stars and Elements which are the works of his hands he being Maker and Creator of all things and Christ who was with the Father before the World began by whom all things were made and created and this is the Word
