A26132	Breif [sic] and plain discovery of the labourers in mistery, Babilon, generally called by the name of Quakers with a discription [sic] how the subtile serpent deceived them and made them proud boasters, calling the tower of Babel, which they are building in their imaginations, Mount Zion : with a desire of their return to him that hath confounded their language with a few words in love .../ [by] Elizabeth Atkinson.

just reward of his rebellion but the Lord being full of compassion towards the work of his hands sendeth his beloved Son out of his bosome to tread the wine-press of his wrath and redeem poor miserable man again out of it and herein is the rich mercy and admired loving kindness of the Lord unto the Sons and Daughters of men but what will become of those that tread this mercy under foot it was by faith in the promise of this Redeemer that all the Saints were saved under the dispensation of the Law for they beleived he that had promised was faithful therefore their beleif was the ground of their obedience and not their obedience the ground of their belief and when the fulness of time was come that the promise came to be fulfilled many would not believe that he was the Saviour for had they beleived him they would have received his doctrine for those that truly beleive in the Lord Jesus will have good works spring up in them as the fruits of their faith if they abide in it As the fruits of unbelief is crucyfying the Lord of glory wherefore when his Disciples were convinced they laboured withall diligence to convince them that he was the Christ John in his testimony bears record to the people that he was the very Christ by whom the world and all things therein was made whose light shined in them to know the will of their maker but we have all disobeyed him and become children of wrath wherefore Christ came to be a sacrifice for sin for the whole world if they will believe in him these things by the light within are shewed to us but for this doctrine you have broched to mind only the light within saying it is the Saviour you have erred not knowing the Scripture nor the power of God for the light within is but the manifestation of him who is the Saviour it doth indeed shew and discover to man how he lies condemned for his disobedience but this is not the satisfaction for thy sins O man but it is Christ that hath satisfied the Fathers justice for he trod the wine press alone without us though he manifesteth it in us for though we see our selves fallen into the wrath yet it is he whose light shineth in all places that m●st lift us up out of the horrible pit if this glance only which shineth in our hearts had been sufficient God would not have sent his son to shed his blood for our transgressions but he was the sacrifice that all the Types and Figures under the Law pointed at and those that looked for salvation waited for and desired to see these dyed in the faith having seen the promise afarre off but not obtained it but what will remain for those that neglect so great salvation But a certain fearful looking for of judgement do you not tread the blood of the Covenant under feet that scoffingly say if that were it that washed at Jerusalem there had need have been abundance of it to sprinkle so many consciences which doth sufficiently shew your sensual earthly spirits that knows not the mistery of faith by which the woman was healed that had the bloody issue touching the hem of his garment and yet the spirit of Lucifer hath so far exalted some of you to say you are equal with God which is contrary to the testimony in Scripture that saith when we have done all we are unprofitable servants for we have done but that which was our duty to doe What can we add to God in whom all fulness dwells we are to be obedient unto him who can kill and make alive which I am sure you cannot doe God is light and in him no darkness at all but the light in you may be darkned and great is that darkness why are ye so foolish to deny the fountain because you have had a little taste from the stream shall the plant say because it was refresht by the beams of the Sun I am equal with the Sun surely no this would not be right for though Christ who was equal with God came in ●he form of a servant and in the likeness of sinful flesh calling his Disciples brethren yet it was not testifyed of any of them that the God-head dwelt in them bodily neither did they call themselves the seed but they acknowledged themselves bought with a price by him who is the seed in whom the God-bead dwelt but the Serpent thinketh to cover himself with bringing Scripture though he preverteth it to a wrong sense for though they comforted one another in the hope of the enjoyment of what he had purchased for them if they did abide in the faith to the end saying as he was so are we in this present world knowing that as he endured the contradictions of wicked men and tryals and tribulations amongst unbeleivers so they contented themselves to be used like unto their Lord seeing and knowing right well that all those unbeleivers lay in wickedness and they by faith in their hearts had the earnest of a better possession which the first born of God that could not sin because the seed remained in him purchased for them but Sathan hath crept in amongst you being transformed like to an Angel of light And now being deceived you labour to deceive others calling your selves Saints and your immaginations truth and teling people they must be perfect though I know many of you to be grievous Hypocrites not walking in the fear of the Lord with a perfect heart for though you speak high swelling words as though you were inspired with an infallible Spirit calling the light that sheweth good and evil Salvation which is but a glance from him who came to be Salvation For all that would beleive in him we may refresh our thirsty Souls by the way in the stream but if we will be cleansed to go up into the City of God we must go unto the fountain we see that you subtilly perswade us to rest under a Covenant of works which neither you nor your Fathers ever kept and so to set down short of the Fountain of our mercies If a man that is forewarned by the Master of the house will out of curiosity meddle with an Instrument that will wound him he must apply then himself to the Physitian if he will be cured for the knowing that he should not have done it will not cure him but augment his pain to think of his folly that he would not be ruled by him that knew the danger neither will the light or knowledge of our duty save us from the punishment of our disobedience but man must go to the Physitian of our Souls for cure and if we beleive and follow his directions we shall be certainly cured I have not written this to strengthen the hands of evil doers that say they beleive and do not but that people might not build upon a wrong foundation as this people hath done and though I expect no other
