A79534	A true discovery of the ignorance, blindness, and darkness of those who are called magistrates about Carlile in Cumberland, who call Light darkness, and truth error, and judge them blasphemers who are sent of the Lord to declare the eternal word of truth amongst them, but the Lord hath made himself manifest in the hearts of his people, and opened their eyes here in the northern parts, whereby they plainly see the tyranny, oppression, and cruelty of those who are called magistrates and rulers, who do imprison the servants of the most high God, for declaring against sin and abomination, held up in markets and steeple-houses, and so they that depart from iniquity and stand in obedience to the commands of the Lord, makes himself a prey to that generation; but the Lord is risen for Sions deliverance, all praise and glory be to him for evermore. J.C.	Camm, John, 1604?-1656.	1654 (1654)	Wing C393; Thomason E740_8; ESTC R202139	12,325	19

the form of the Prophets and Holy men of God conditions but not the life as you have now the form of Christ the Prophets and Apostles for had you had the life of Jesus Christ you would have owned him whom you persecuted but kept peace or had you owned the Law of God which was made for sinners you would not have imprisoned the just who in love for your souls good came to declare the Truth to you whom you put him under a cruel Tyrant Jaylors hand who strook him in prison when he spoke not a word to him And as for speaking to Willfro Lawson and them that was present what he spoke was true Scripture and the Scripture was but one it all being given forth by the inspiration of the Spirit and the Spirit is but one that gave it forth and the holy Ghost is but one which the holy men of God was moved to speak it from now you that have not this Spirit and the holy Ghost persecute them who are in the one Life and with the one Spirit owns it to be one and such as you persecute them that witness it as your fathers did which gave it forth To the light which Christ hath enlightned every one of you withal I speak which lets you see your evil deeds which you love it it will bring you to repentance of what you have done which light will guide your mindes up to God which if you hate it you hate God and Christ then this light is your condemnation and to you this is true Scripture and the light in your conscience will witness what I speak for you that hate it hate me but it is no marvel for the world ever hated the son of God where he was made manifest as you may read in John there let the Scripture it self judge you And as for saying He was moved of the Lord to speak to that in the consciences of men Holy men of God spake as they was moved by the holy Ghost and the Ministers of God are made manifest to that of God in mans consciences And here again you have cleared your selves from the holy Ghost and the Ministers of the Spirit which ministers to the spirit in prison Oh that ever men should profess the Scripture and persecute the life where it is made manifest but no other fruit is looked from such trees but the Lord is coming to hew down all tree that have cumbred the ground but with the life that gave forth the Scriptures shall you all be judged that act contrary to that in your conscience for to that I speak and that is it which shall witness me and condemn you that hate it As for saying It was better to obey God and man Did not the Apostles ask the same question when they was brought before Magistrates which witnessed forth Christ and they was haled out of the Synagogues and Prisoned and haled before Magistrates And have not you Magistrates shewed your selves to be in the same nature to prison and persecute and slander the innocent And let all see that you have acted contrary to the Scripture and that your wills would be obeyed who prisons him that doth obey God and let the Scripture it self judge you And for asking him How long he could stay in that place his Answer was As long as his Fathers will was And there again you do shew you are acting contrary to the Scripture and the Apostles doctrine who taught the people to say If God will and to stand in his will let the Scripture it self judge you And for saying to avoid disorder where is the power that is terror to evil doers where is the Authoty that keeps in order Oh for shame never profess your selves to be Magistrates had you heard him spoken or acted any thing contrary to the Law then your Law might have been said upon but you but you prisoned him contrary to Law but only your own wills so the just Law of God will take hold upon you and vengeance is the Lords and he will repay it A Discovery of the present practise of the Profession in ENGLAND OH England thou that hast professed the Scripture that which Moses wrote the Law that which the Prophets which was sent of the Lord spake forth that which John Baptist preached which was a burning and shining light that which Christ Jesus the substance of all when he was upon earth and that that he spake after his Resurrection and that that the Apostles spake which was sent of him to preach unto all Nations And thou makes a Profession of what the Apostles wrote to the Saints of God which was come out of the world and which was not of the world of whom the end of the world was come And of them that was come to the General Assemblies of the First-born which are written in heaven and to God the Judge of all and to the spirits of just men made perfect all these you make a profession of in words and your Teachers give meanings to them with their carnal mindes of the outward Letter which was spoken from the life For those that did speak them did possess and enjoy what they spake but you are ignorant of the life of them for where the life of them is made manifest them you do persecute beat and stock and hail to prison as all your generation of professors of an outward thing ever did who knew nothing of the inward O be ashamed and blush and tremble before the Lord God who hath so long worshipped the beast and given all your glory and honor to the beast not knowing the living God nor the first principle that leads to life And that your Leaders and Teachers denies the light which Christ Jesus saith he hath enlightned every one that comes into the world with all And that the power of the Lord which causes trembling and quaking which all the holy men of God that ever heard the voyce of God which is terrible which shakes the earth ever witnessed while the earth was standing in them And this you call Impostures and Delusions and of the Devil which makes manifest that you know nothing of God nor never heard his voyce nor seen his face Oh woful and miserable is your condition which wars against the living God your condition is more miserable then any that ever went before you You say you have the word of God and that which you call your word is a Declaration of the eternal Word which Christ and the Apostles spake forth Christ Jesus said I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto my self that where I am there you may be also Jesus Christ saith I am the resurrection and the life and he said Glorifie thy son that thy son also may glorifie thee and as thou hast given him power over all flesh that he may give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him Now if any come to witness
