the people lest the Wrath of God break forth upon thee and there be no Remedy And thou hast denyed Revelation in these dayes by which only and alone the Knowledge of God comes to be attained And thou hast denyed Perfection and said it s a Damnable and Erroneous Doctrine which manifests thy Ignorance of the Gift of God for the Gift of God is perfect and Christ Jesus in the Gift of God who is pure and holy forever that is our Testimony and it shall stand over the Heads of all Opposers and Gainsayers and is that Stone which certainly shall grind them to Powder who falls not upon it so as to be broken by it from Sin which separates man from God and with-holds good things from the Soul And notwithstanding I had been at thy Meeting yet these things did remain with me to write unto thee that thou might be left without Excuse and that I might clear my Conscience in the Sight of God who have Good Will in my Heart unto all the Sons and Daughters of men And thou vain Boaster who in the Pride of thy Heart and in the Exaltedness of thy Spirit said Thou would throw down our Foundation in that also thou art found to be a Lyar and an Enemy to Christ Jesus for he to wit Christ Jesus is our Foundation who abides pure and perfect forever and in the Strength of his Power we were inabled in the midst of thy Meeting and that before thy Face to bear a Testimony to his Purity thou wast then made to confess to the People Thou didst not know what to do with us except thou shouldst Thresh us and Whip us and put us into the Stocks but the Lord our God was with us and his Power was felt by us which carried us over all Opposition and thou couldst not stand that day before it to wit God's Power which remains with us and is our Preservation to whose Power be the Glory for evermore John Vaughton POSTSCRIPT AND so dear and tender-hearted People cease from having and Dependency on Man whose Breath is in his Nostrils and come to the Fear of the Lord which is the Beginning of true Wisdom and a good Vnderstanding have all they that depart from Iniquity and such will joyn no more with T. P. in those Duties which he calls holy * Confusion that which is holy is not sinful and yet sayes they are Fly-blown with Sin and that is a Shame to any People and his best Performances which he hath said in our Hearing were Bed ridden and we are sure the Spirit of the Lord led not to those Performances but the Spirit of the wicked One which is called the Prince of the Power of the Air which rules in the Hearts of the Children of Disobedience which moved him at Farrindine's Meeting to pray that they might have no Dependency on Jesus Christ within them the Word Christ signifies Anointed the Apostle said to such as believed in Christ You have the Anointing in you which will teach you all things which is Truth and no Lye and surely if it be sufficient to teach as we firmly and truly believe and know that Christ the Anointed of God being able is worthy to be depended on for Teaching who hath said Without me ye can do nothing Much more might be spoken to shew and to make it appear that T. P. is no Gospel-Minister but we being not willing to inlarge and also certainly knowing that those who are faithful to the Manifestation of God's Spirit in themselves will certainly come to see him to be no Gospel Minister but to be such an one as runs and God never sent him for had he been sent of God to preach the Gospel he would have known Christ to have been revealed in him and so to have had a Dependency on him and a reverent Esteem of him as the Apostles and Ministers of Christ Jesus had as you may read in the holy Scriptures of Truth for said the holy Apostle When it pleased God who separated me from my Mother's Womb and called me by his Grace to reveal his Son IN ME that I might preach him among the Heathen immediately I conferred not with Flesh and Blood c. Gal. 1.15 16. So that it 's plain and evident that the Ground of the Apostle Paul's preaching Christ was from God's revealing him IN HIM And this is my Testimony whether you hear or forbear that none are sent of God to preach Christ Jesus but such as know him to be revealed IN THEM and to live IN THEM for that was the Ground of the Apostle's preaching Christ even from his knowing of him to be revealed IN HIM and it 's not Flesh and Blood that reveals or gives the Knowledge of Christ Jesus but the Father as you may read in Mat. 16.16 17. where it 's left upon Record that Christ said unto Peter when he had confessed him to be the Son of God Flesh and Blood hath not revealed it unto thee but my Father which is in Heaven and the Apostle Paul also said unto them that sought a Proof of Christ speaking IN HIM Examine your selves whether you be in the Faith prove your own selves know you not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is IN YOU except you be Reprobates 2 Cor. 13.5 And in Rom. 8.9 it 's said If any Man hath not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his So People consider these Things and compare the Prayer of your Priest who would have no Dependency on Christ within and the Apostle's Testimony who said Even the Mystery which hath been hid from Ages and Generations but now is made manifest to his Saints to whom God would make known what is the Riches of the Glory of this Mystery among the Gentiles which is Christ IN YOU the Hope of Glory whom we preach warning every Man and teaching every Man in all Wisdom that we might present every Man perfect in Christ Jesus whereunto I also labour striving according to his working which worketh IN ME mightily c. Col. 1.26 to the End And so it 's plain and evident that the Apostle laboured to present every Man perfect in Christ Jesus who also knew Christ to work mightily IN HIM for that End and surely he depended on him as he was revealed in him which made him also to say I live yet not I but Christ lives IN ME and the Life that I now live is by Faith in the Son of God and this was the Treasure that they of old witnessed in their earthen Vessels and blessed be God forever there is a Remnant in this our Day who have believed in Christ and have had their Dependency on him as revealed in them and do count him their chiefest Treasure having known the Drawings of the Father in through the Son of his Love who is known and witnessed to make his Abode in and among us according to his Promise in Dayes past unto his Disciples when he told them that it 's expedient for you that I go away for if I go not away the Comforter will not come but if I go away I will send the Comforter the Spirit of Truth and it shall lead you into all Truth and it shall reprove the World of Sin of Righteousness and of Judgment so that it 's plain that the same Spirit that is the Saints Leader and Comforter is the World's Reprover and it 's also said The Reproofs of Instruction is the Way to Life so that if ever you come to know Life and Peace to your immortal Souls you must believe in and obey and be subject unto the Spirit of Truth IN YOVR SELVES that doth reprove you for Sin in your own Particulars for we do testifie in the Name of God that lives forever that the Spirit of Truth is come INTO the Hearts and Consciences of People not only to reprove for Sin but those that do receive it and believe in it come to know it to lead them out of Sin and such come to know the Sanctification of the Spirit through believing in the Truth and said Christ Jesus I am the Way the Truth and the Life and the Light of the World there is no Man cometh to the Father but by me who also said unto his Disciples He that is with you shall be IN YOU and as Christ said We will come speaking of his Father and make our Abode with you He that hath the Sen hath Life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting Life John 14.23 1 Joh. 5.12 John 3.36 and he that believeth not the Son shall not see Life but the Wrath of God abideth on him and Christ said unto his Disciples I am the Vine ye are the Branches he that abideth IN ME and I IN HIM the same bringeth forth much Fruit for without me ye can do nothing and to others he also said Behold I stand at the Door and knock if ANY MAN will open unto me I will come INTO HIM and sup with him and he with me so the Spirit saith Come and the Bride saith Come and he that is athirst let him come and drink of the Waters of Life freely that is the Desire of our Souls who have tasted of the Goodness of the Lord that you also might come beyond all vain empty Profession to a living Possession and to have an Earnest of that Inheritance in that Life which will endure when Time here shall be no more From us who desire the Good and Welfare of all your Souls John Vaughton John Feild Let Thomas Powel and all others to whom these Lines may come know that our owning and preaching Christ within as the holy Apostles did doth not at all gainsay or oppose Christ as he was manifest without in the Dayes of his Flesh for we have a dear and honourable Esteem unto our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in all his Manifestations both within and without and he who professeth and talks of him only or wholly without denying him any Place within Man is a Deceiver and an Antichrist THE END
