word and power of God were preached in me by Christ Jesus my Lord which power did shake the earth sea and dry land and did overturn the mountains by the roots and put darkness to an end in me so that the true light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ doth now shine in my soul and the heavenly treasure doth dwell in an earthen vessel as the Apostle did witnesse 2 Cor. 4.6 7. And my joy is in doing the will of my heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus my Saviour who hath called me by his grace and set me to declare against deceits and deceivers and all false waies false worships which stand in the will of man and being dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world as in Colos 2. I can never touch taste nor handle that which is to perish ver 20 21 22 23. God is a spirit and all his waies and worships are now in the spirit and his Ministry is in the spirit and his Ministers are made by the will of God and the son is revealed in them and they are able Ministers of the spirit and the baptism of Christ in the new Covenant is by one spirit into one body and we are made all to drink into one spirit where there is one faith one Lord one Baptism one God and Father of us all who are born again of water and the spirit and our souls are nourished with the milk of the word and Christ is our bread of life and water of life and feedeth our souls with the refreshing mercies of his eternal love so that we having received the promise of the Father which is the spirit of his Son crying Abba Father in our hearts guiding and leading us into all trut that we are made to exalt and set forth Jesus Christ to be the everlasting Minister of the new Covenant and his Gospel is free and he Preacheth glad tidings to our souls and giveth good gifts to our souls and we are made to cry Hosanna to the highest praises praises be to our God and Saviour the Lord God and his Son and the holy Ghost the Comforter whom the world knoweth not nor the Priests and Clergy-men with all their high notions and guilded pretences cannot find out Job 28.12 to 17 who open their bags to receive of our earthly Treasure but never made us to partake of any spiritual gifts I deny them all that are hirelings and teach for Tythes gifts or rewards they are Idol shepherds and Ministers of man and sent of man and obey man and received Orders Commission Power and Authority means and maintenance of man who are they that do not abid in the councel of God and do not profit the people of God Jer. 23 21 to 33. and now it is considered as in the Prophesie of Jeremiah 23.16.17 to 21. So I have cleared my conscience in declaring part of my experience of them and not by report nor opinion of others And being the desire of you the Commissioners that are for the approving of them your National Ministers as you call them The Book of affairs in the Nation pag. 3. Friday the 7. of April to 1654. who say you do humbly and earnestly beseech all the people of God throughout the Land who shall send any Certificate to you that they would not take things upon the opinion and reports of others but to certifie their own personal knowledg and experience of them your Ministers c. as in the book you set forth on the third leaf Friday the 7 of April 1654. as you say that you would not have any of the people of God recommend unto you them whom God disalloweth lest guilt be contracted by the Recommenders to whose Testimonials you say so much is referred that unfaithfull men whom God doth not approve of may not be commended to you lest they be admitted of by you to the dishonour of God the prejudice of the Church and the utter frustrating of the pious intents of your Honours besides the blot which will deservedly stick to them not only for the present but with posterity and succeeding times For as much as the Certificates now exhibited will appear upon Record So to this my Certificate and Testimonial of them the Priests of these times whith I do not know by the opinion or report of others but by real experience whether you do approve of it or no I have done my duty in clearing my conscience to let you know part of my experience of them and according to your desire and humble request and rest A servant of the Lord Jesus Christ Rich. Farnworth A Word to you that are appointed to be Commssioners for the Approbation of Ministers TAke heed that you do not approve of those whom God Almighty disalloweth and so your Judgement prove carnal and you want salt to savour withall and be cast out of favour with God for so doing Take heed to your selves and the work you are about that you do not stand as Judges of the simple by your carnal wisdom and so seek to establish proud covetous self-seeking men men that follow pleasures and are oppressers that Preach for hire 100 l. or 200 l. per annum or Tythes Bribes and large augmentations to please you and the great men of the world and so dishonour the Lord and if you go about to approve and allow and establish those whom God intends to root out you must come to an account before the great Judg of Heaven and Earth and be punished for it take heed of sinning against the light of Christ in your conscience and against the holy Ghost then see what is said in Hebrews 10.26 27. Read and understand and act not according to the will of man lest thou disobey the will of God The everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be preached freely and the Proclamation is Come freely Isa 55. and the Ministers of the Gospel are not by the will of man nor approved by carnal men but by God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ John 4.22 23 24. God is a Spirit and all his Ordinances are spiritual Therefore a word to those that scruple about the receiving or not receiving that which they call a Sacrament and Communion of Saints at Easter Pentecost Christmas so called and other Festival and set daies or any other time when it is to be administred by those that professe themselves to be the Ministers of Jesus Christ First to the simple hearted whose desires are to walk in the wayes of Godlinesse and to do those things that are most pleasing and acceptable to God in the light of Jesus Christ our Lord And you conceive that which you call the Ordinance of Christ in the holy Sacrament so called in eating bread and wine at set times to be a Sacrifice well pleasing and acceptable to God by Jesus Christ and that it is as you conceive necessary to salvation and how shall
THE Heart Opened by Christ OR The Conditions of a troubled Soul that could find no true Rest Peace Comfort nor satisfaction in any thing below the Divine Power and Glory of God breaking forth and appearing in several operations and manifestations by the blessed Spirit of the Lord Jesus the Saviour of the soul God manifesting himself in flesh that he may glorified in Spirit With A word to those that are for the Approbation of Ministers and something to those that scruple about the Receiving or not Receiving that which they call a Sacrament and Communion of Saints at Easter Penticost Christmas so called and other Festival and set daies or any other time when it is to be administred by those Priests that profess themselves to be Ministers of Christ Written in the year 1654. in the third Moneth commonly called May by R. F. The Heart Opened by Christ OR The Conditions of a troubled Soul that could find no rest peace comfort nor satisfaction in any thing below the Divine Power and glory of God breaking forth and appearing through several operations and manifestations by the blessed Spirit of the Lord Jesus the Saviour of the Soul ABout the 16 year of the age of my natural life the Lord did begin to work under a cloud and let me see the vanity that I lived in and wrought me into some inward trouble of mind and I seeing that the wrath of God was revealed against sin in me knew not what to do to satisfie his Justice that was offended but by consulting with mine own heart and carnal reason together set on some self-acting to seek for life peace comfort and satisfaction to my soul and so concluded in my self that reading hearing of Sermons and prayer was the way and means to appease the wrath of God and to attain to salvation believing in the Declaration of the Scriptures Psal 32.5 6. v. Psal 55 16 17. Deut. 6.10 1 Thes 5 17. and Christ dying at Jerusalem to satisfie the infinite Justice which was offended by me a sinfull creature and so betook my self to read often and pray often at set times and to hear Sermons often that it became customary and I left off my sports and pleasures looking upon them all to be vain and heathenish and became very strict in observing what the Priests did press me unto and read three times a day and prayed as often and several times in the night and rose out of bed to pray upon my bare knees because David prayed several times in the night and what I did it was from imitation of others knowing no better way then at that present but as the Priests taught me who themselves were never taught of God and I got many Chapters by heart to meditate on as I went about my labour and applyed the Promises and Saints conditions to my self and went to Church as I called it and they taught me and I writ Sermons and repeated duty at the nights and observed both publique duty and private as they called it and I then followed their waies and worships resting in those outward performances and so went on in a fleshly joy that spring up from those fleshly performances acted in the will and by the reason and did increase in outward knowledg walking a little strictly to the outward appearance making some conscience of my way that I walked in and became zealous so that I could have persecuted even unto death those that were licentious and did not walk as exactly as I did And all this while I was but carnal and earthly knowing nothing of the new birth and the resurrection of the just but walked on in an outward profession believing all to be true that the Priests told me and was very zealous for them at that time and was Catechized by them observed to do as they gave me directions and would gladly do what was and might make most for the glory of God and as they told me that the Steeplehouse was the Church and House of God I did then believe them and as they told me that Sprinkling Infants was one of the Sealing Ordinances and that which they called a Sacrament was another I gave credit to what they said and was mighty zealous for those traditions three or four years and I did then loath all open prophaneness and sports and pleasures and Idle and vain company and grew solid and serious in my way desiring of the Lord to instruct me and teach me his mind and will that I might do what he made known unto me out of the integrity of mine heart and being strict in hearing reading and praying I was reproached by the rude people and called a Puritan Roundhead and the like and so rejoyced in that calling it the Cross of Christ but the Cross of Christ is a mystery And about the 20 year or 21 of my age I began to question many things that I had been so zealous for and something rose up in my spirit to work me into an examination of my way and worship that I then lived in and made me restless in my spirit and set me on searching the Scriptures very diligently and by the light of God in my conscience and the Scriptures together testifying Act. 20.28 1 Pet. 2.5 Act. 4 32 Eph. 1.22.23 Eph. 2.19 20 21 22. Eph. 5.26 27. 1 Thes 1. 1 Thes 2.9 to 14. I came to see that the Steeplehouse was not a Church nor the house of God as they had told me and I believed that prayer was more acceptable in that house then in any other place till the Lord convinced me of that error received by tradition from the Priests for I was made to see by the breakings forth of the light of God in my spirit that the Steeplehouse was no Church for the Scripture saith that Christ came to redeem his Church with his blood and not that Stonehouse and that the Church of Christ was made all of living stones elect and pretious and there is not one living stone in that and although there were a Temple commanded to be built by Solomon and that was but a figure for the time present till Christ came to put an end to the Covenant outwardly Temple and Sacrifices that were then offered up and Christ said that there should not be one stone left upon another in that Temple that was at Jerusalem and there were never any other commanded to be builded and now there are many Idols Temples which are no Churches for the Church is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ as Paul and Silvanus writ to the Thessalonians and the Church of Christ were of one heart and one mind but now in the English Churches or people that assemble together in the Idols Temple they are of confusion one saying one thing and another saying another both Priests and people divided But in the Church of Christ there is true unity and no jarring nor jangling and the Saints their bodies are
Temples for the holy Ghost to dwell in as God hath said 2 Cor. 6.17 18. Then was I convinced by the light of Christ in my conscience that the Priests were very formal in that which they called prayer and that they kept in a form of words and knew before hand what to speak Mat. 6.7 Mar. 6.5 1 Cor. 14 15. Rom. 8.26.27 Zac. 8.21 Mar. 26.41 Act. 12.5 Rom. 12.12 Jude 20. Jam. 5.15 16. when to begin and when to end any natural man might do so that had but a quick wit and memory and I could have done that my self till I was convinced that either to get prayers out of a book or to pray by a book was carnal and formal and not by the spirit and this was a second error that I lived in till the Lord did convince me of it by his spirit and I had received that by tradition from the Priests and as the light of God did arise in me I could not be satisfied with such carnality and so likewise their Preaching became but as the telling of a Tale or a boy that saith over his weeks work at the School what he hath learned all the week he saith over at once or one time and so did the Priests they studied out of books and writ down in papers and knew where to begin and where to end and any natural man might do so but the natural man knoweth not the things of God for they are spiritually discerned And this is another error that I did live in till I was convinced of it by the pure light of God in my conscience Isa 9.16 Isa 3 12. Hos 4 9. for the Priests neither Preached nor prayed by the Spirit and so there was little or no reformation at all wrought by it for people that had been proud did continue so and the Priests led them on in it and made them covers for it and so on in covetousness sports or pleasures and the like for looking at the Priest for an example Eph. 5.4.4 5 6 1 Cor. 12 12 13 Rom. 6.3.4 5. Gal. 3.27 and seeing him given to pride covetousness and the like the people say in their hearts that if it were not right he would not do it and if he do it they may do it for he knoweth more then they do and so they follow him for their example and become light and vain and that Scripture is fulfilled by them The Leaders of the people cause them to err And a fourth error that was discovered to me that the Priests led into was sprinkling infants calling it Baptism and entring them into ovenant with Christ and Christ never sprinkling any infant nor the Apostles never sprinkled any for that is carnal and they have no Scripture-rule for it for by one spirit did and were they baptized into one body in the Church of Christ and made to drink into one spirit But the Priests of England walk clear contrary to the Saints rule and order in the true Church and they observed foolish heathenish customs in the Steeplehouses in Yorkshire at the sprinkling of infants they were to have Godfathers and Godmothers for the child and God hath neither father nor mother and all that are born of water and the spirit and baptized with the holy Ghost do deny those Popish Ceremonies and a foolish thing was there upheld at the sprinkling of infants If a young man did not kiss the young woman there openly he was to forfeit a pair of gloves and the Priest did suffer such things as these unreproved and I was convinced of the error of them and made to testifie against them and could not sing Davids conditions in Rime and Meeter with them because I could not experience those conditions in my self to be fulfilled Ro. 12.2 Eph. 5.6 to the 19 verse and what I could not witness was not mine then was I hated and reproached and called Independent Brownist Seperate and the like and was content to bear their reproaches for the testimony of the truth in what I knew 1 Pet. 4.14 For in reading the Scriptures I did see that there never was any such things practized amongst Christians 1 Pet. 3.18 19 20 21. Acts 1.5.6 Mat. 3. and that all that were baptized with water which was the figure were such as did bring forth fruits of amendment of life as in Luke 3. and were believers and not infants and though Christ did say Suffer little children to come and forbid them not for of such is the Kingdom of God Mark 9.33 to the end Mark 10. chap. 13 14 15 16. Yet he did not baptize them for he baptized none himself but his Disciples John 4.2 they did not baptize any but believers yes say they the Goaler and his houshold and others and their houshold and then consequently say they there must be infants in an houshold Now that was their carnal reason and consequence that led them out into the imaginations of their own hearts for no infant is mentioned and they might be such places as their children were grown up to believe in Christ for the word was preached to them before they were baptized and when the Goaler asked what should be done that salvation might follow it was answered Believe and be baptized but had there been infants they had not been capable of faith and the preaching of the word by the holy Ghost which gave power with the thing done to make it effectual Acts 16.32 33 34. Acts 18.7 8 9 10 11. And secondly as for infants being in those Families there is not any mention of them and there might as well be no child at all for in several Families in Yorkshire and for instance that where I then lived they never had child and if all the Family had been in the faith there and baptized there would not have been one infant And Christs suffering little children to come unto him was to bless them and heal them of their diseases which was the work he was about at that time and not baptizing with water for he baptized none but with the holy Ghost Mat. 3.11 And herein the error of the Priests was discovered that they did not act by the spirit of the Lord but followed the imagination of their own hearts and lead people into error and delusion and do things without warrant from the Spirit of the living God and so are ignorant of the Gospel for the Ministers of the Gospel are the Ministers of the spirit Eph. 3.2 3 to the 13. 2 Cor. 3.1 2 3 4 5 6. 2 Cor. 4. to the 14 verse Gal. 1.11 12. Col. 1 25. to the end Another thing the Priests led me to observe and that they called a Sacrament and Communion of Saints and told me it was a sacrifice acceptable and well pleasing to God for the purging out of sin and assuring the soul of Gods love and favour and a sealing soul-saving Ordinance and the like And one came to the house where
my earth was disquieted and did mourn and I lamented but no eye pittied for they were to me as Jobs miserable comforters and instead of healing they wounded and set me to act and do in my will as I had done and bad me repent and believe and the like but never told me neither how to repent nor believe by experience and so I was still as far from peace and rest as I was before and the righteous Law was set up in me which did condemn me for all my self-actings and wearied me out of all and the curses rung in my ears cursed cursed cursed art thou for thou dost not continue in all things that are written in the book of the Law to do them and the pure was stirred up in me and wounded the Serpent time after time yet not meeting with any true shepherd that could direct to walk by the footsteps of the flock to come where the fold was I wandred to and fro from mountain to mountain in cloudes and thick darkness and the hireling shepherds instead of seeking a poor lost sheep that wandred and wanted life and refreshment they drove me off and set their dogs on me and chaced me away from them and so fulfilled the Prophesie of Ezekiel the 34 Chapter For when I could not find any rest peace comfort or satisfaction in any thing that I could do and durst not but go to hear some of them when I came there none spake to my condition but all was confused what they builded up in the forepart of their Sermons Isa 56.10 11 Phil. 3.1 2 3. Rev. 22.14 15. they threw it down again in the hinder part and began to rail and bark like doggs and cryed out of Hereticks and Schismaticks and the like I could not bear it because that when I asked them the ground of error Schism and Heresie and would have had them not to cry out of those things but lay them open and make them known to the people to be avoided but they still kept barking and snarling at my heels or behind my back but not to my face and they set the curs to bark and javver in the streets and they would rayl upon me and others that walked in any tenderness of conscience Souldiers and others that then feared God and if we had been speaking two or three together they would have called us Tub-Preachers and Sectaries and Independants and the like and railed on us wagging their heads as the wicked did at David and so they fulfilled the saying of the Lord by the Prophet My sheep wandred upon all the mountains and upon every high hill yea my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth and none did search or seek after them Ezek. 34. 6. and saith the Lord to the hireling Shepherds that eat the fat and cloath themselves with the wool who feed themselves and feed not the flock the diseased have ye not strengthened neither have ye healed that which was sick neither have ye bound up that which was broken neither have ye brought again that which was driven away neither have ye sought that which was lost but with force and cruelty have ye ruled them and so have they fulfilled the saying of the Lord by his Prophet Ezek. 34 3 4. but still my soul longed to see the salvation of the Lord and many a day did I weep and cry and looked upon my self to be the miserablest creature that was upon the face of the earth and I could not rest till I left off for going to the Steeplehouse which was by them called a Church and this promise of the Lord came in I will teach thee freely my self and all the children of the Lord shall be taught of the Lord and in righteousness shall they be established Isa 54.13 14. Ezek. 34.11 12 c. But when I left off and did not go to Church as they called it and had been so diligent to hear repeat and write Sermons and pray and perform duty and the like then came some professing people that I had been very intimate with and they perswaded me to go to the Church again and said I should give great occasion of offence to many if I left off that had been so as I had been and the like so that they prevailed with me to go sometimes but great trouble was upon me when I was there hearing them lie as they did and there was much pressings in my spirit to speak to them openly but I was hindred and rose up and went out and left them with resolutions never to hear them more come on me what will come and then stayed away till some came to me and wept over me to entreat me to go again and could not prevail and some that had command of me in the outward would have come and threatned me what they would do if that I would not go to the Church as they called it and it was their duty they s●id to cause me to observe them in their commands To the which I answered and said that in any outward affairs that I could do they should command me and I would be subject to them but as touching the worship of God they were not to command me contrary to my conscience for they were but earthly minded people though they were great in the world and of a great profession and the natural man knew not the things of God because they were spiritually to be discerned so I desired them to pardon me in that thing 1 Cor. 2.14 for I could not go with them to the house of Rimmon to worship I should be willing to die rather then to offend my conscience in what I was convinced of and offend my God to serve mens wils whether is it better to obey God or man judge ye for I cannot be subject in that thing So I was made to deny the Priests and their way of worship Luke 9.23 Mat. 10.38 16 24 and deny all that which I had gathered together under them and wait upon God for teaching counsel and direction in all things according to his promise which he hath fulfilled and in waiting upon the Lord in the light of the spirit of truth I found much inward peace Rom. 7.9 10 11 12 Rom. 8.2 3 4.

have union withall who are of the houshold of God that live in Christ the everlasting sacrifice and he is meat and drink for the soul to feed on and have fellowship withall and not bread and wine John 6. As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father so he that eateth in me shall live by me saith Christ John 6.57 v. Tenthly This is not carnal bread nor carnal communion as the worlds is and conceiveth the Saints to be so here is no talk of bread and wine but flesh and bloud which troubleth both Jews and Disciples that were carnal so that they left him but had he been talking of bread and wine it would not so much have troubled carnal minded people they could have received it and carnal Disciples need not to have left Christ at that saying as they did but the spiritual ones aboad and their communion was in the spirit and is now the same and eateth the same bread John 6.58 and the bread which we break is the communion of the body of Christ and not a wheat loaf of bread that is but food for the body and none for the soul but Christ our Passeover is food for the soul and Saints communion is in him in being made partakers of his life and the cup which we drink is the communion of the bloud of Christ and not a cup of wine that is carnal and nourishing for the body but Christ is our bread and head and meat and drink to our souls now as he was to his Saints in former ages I speak to those that are spiritual to judge what I say 1 Cor. 10 15 16 17. and they that can receive it let them And if any stumble at the corner stone it is that they may be broken and fall he that hath ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit saith to the Churches Now to whom Christ is come they need not to observe that which did typifie or hold forth that he was to come and when that which is perfect is come which is Christ Jesus the perfection of beauty then bread and wine and carnal observations which are imperfect are to be done away and now people that professe Christ come and to be their Saviour do hold up a type and would have that to be a Coe-Saviour and look for salvation by it and in it but what spiritual operation hath that carnal imitation upon your souls I appeal to the simplicity that will witnesse to purity as it stands unvailed That when there hath been a sight of their souls wants and a discovery of their sins then they cry and pray to be fitted and prepared to receive Christ in that Ordinance as they call it and after three or four weeks preparation they are still as unfit as they were and go in fear and at the receiving of it are ready to tremble lest they be unworthy and after they have received it look for some change or new life by a spiritual operation to come into their souls by it but none cometh in at that dore then fears and doubts may arise in them and Judas is brought to remembrance and so are in troubles This is the condition of those that make a conscience of it but where hast thou met Christ or what life and power is come into thy soul at the receiving of it Judge thy self to that in thy conscience do I speak which shall witnesse for me as the book of conscience is opened then shall I be witnessed in wrath remember what I say all you that are in the flesh and walk on in the broad way And others there are that go to that thing as if they went to an Inn or a Tavern but all fleshly joy shall be turned into mourning and woe to all that are at ease in the flesh but blessed are they that mourn in Sion They who know their Teacher within shall not have him removed into a corner any more therefore thus saith the Lord Thou shalt hear a voice behind thee saying this is the way walk in it when thou turnest to the right hand or when thou turnest to the left And saith Jesus Christ My sheep hear my voice Isa 30.20 21. and they follow me and will not follow after strangers John 10.4 5. verses Dear hearts high and low rich and poor bond and free male and female Jew and Gentile every one every where in what estate and condition or dispensation soever you are in stand still out of your own thoughts and imaginations for they lead out your minds into cumbrances and vain janglings strife and covetousnesse and there you follow the voice of the stranger which leadeth to confusion and so one cryeth loe here and another doe there and so you wander and goe astray and do not follow the Lord and dwell in your Tents therefore O Israel to thy Tents And all wait that the Lord may lead you as in the light of the Gospel to dwell in peace and love one with another that patience may possesse your souls that you may obey the voice of the spirit of truth within which is checking and calling unto you to turn to the Lord and to deny your selves of all your self-actings and fleshly performances and to forsake all your vain delights and pleasures and to undoe the heavie burdens and let the oppressed goe free and break every yoke deal thy bread to the hungry and bring the poor that are cast out to thy house c. then shall thy light break forth as the morning and thine health shall spring forth speedily then shalt thou call and the Lord shall answer thou shalt cry and he shall say here am I if thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke the putting forth of the finger and speaking vainly and draw out thy soul to the hungry and satisfie the afflicted souls then shall thy darknesse be as the noon-day Isa 58.6 7 8 9 10 11.
