A43052	To all people that profess the eternal truth of the living God this is a true and real demonstration of the cause why I have denied and do deny the authority of George Fox ...	Harwood, John.	1663 (1663)	Wing H1104; ESTC R29869	9,445	8

to_o all_z people_z that_o profess_v the_o eternal_a truth_n of_o the_o live_a god_n this_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a demonstration_n of_o the_o cause_n why_o i_o have_v deny_v and_o do_v deny_v the_o authority_n of_o george_n fox_n which_o be_v the_o original_a ground_n of_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v pretend_v or_o deceitful_o allege_v against_o i_o which_o

the_o ground_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o that_o so_o none_o may_v be_v blind_v through_o false_a pretence_n or_o vain_a report_n but_o that_o every_o particular_a in_o israel_n may_v see_v and_o perfect_o know_v the_o truth_n before_o they_o judge_v of_o this_o matter_n this_o be_v only_o to_o go_v among_o friend_n in_o all_o country_n nation_n and_o island_n where_o george_n fox_n be_v paper_n of_o enmity_n against_o the_o innocent_a have_v pass_v print_a in_o the_o year_n 1663._o dear_a friend_n in_o truth_n before_o i_o proceed_v to_o signify_v the_o

in_o the_o live_a truth_n open_v my_o heart_n and_o unsold_a my_o breast_n innocent_o and_o naked_o unto_o you_o concern_v this_o particular_a that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n manifest_a among_o

other_o truth_n or_o way_n of_o salvation_n but_o what_o have_v be_v and_o be_v manifest_a among_o friend_n that_o abide_v in_o their_o measure_n of_o live_a knowledge_n give_v of_o god_n neither_o

god_n that_o g._n f._n and_o some_o of_o his_o servant_n have_v endeavour_v to_o shut_v i_o our_o from_o among_o you_o both_o by_o their_o revile_v word_n and_o writing_n suppose_v thereby_o to_o take_v away_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n god_n in_o his_o mercy_n have_v manifest_v in_o i_o as_o also_o to_o keep_v he_o from_o own_v public_a judgement_n for_o these_o

as_o he_o have_v cause_v other_o to_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v their_o offence_n and_o to_o own_o public_a judgement_n for_o they_o according_a to_o his_o own_o law_n and_o rule_n he_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o same_o and_o this_o be_v no_o other_o but_o real_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o equity_n to_o try_v a_o man_n by_o his_o own_o law_n or_o measure_v he_o by_o his_o own_o rule_n so_o that_o to_o call_v he_o to_o a_o account_n for_o his_o offence_n as_o he_o have_v call_v other_o be_v just_a and_o righteous_a before_o god_n &_o just_a man_n it_o be_v but_o the_o same_o

against_o he_o have_v be_v charge_v upon_o he_o two_o year_n ago_o and_o several_a of_o his_o own_o bosom-friend_n nominate_v to_o have_v the_o hear_n of_o they_o as_o john_n bolton_n gerard_n roberts_n gilbert_n laiety_n and_o several_a other_o who_o i_o desire_v may_v have_v the_o examination_n and_o trial_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o judge_v of_o they_o according_a as_o they_o find_v they_o in_o and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n which_o he_o have_v hitherto_o neglect_v and_o refuse_v which_o be_v a_o signal_n testimony_n that_o he_o acknowledge_v himself_o guilty_a of_o they_o for_o he_o that_o be_v clear_a from_o guilt_n need_v not_o fear_v the_o judgement_n of_o truth_n butthe_o guilty_a start_n aside_o and_o he_o hide_v himself_o from_o judgement_n but_o i_o know_v that_o judgement_n will_v find_v he_o out_o be_v can_v nor_o shall_v not_o escape_v it_o and_o now_o my_o dear_a friend_n i_o shall_v clear_o and_o innocent_o signify_v unto_o you_o why_o i_o do_v publish_v these_o thing_n not_o in_o enmity_n god_n be_v my_o witness_n i_o have_v no_o prejudice_n in_o my_o heart_n against_o the_o man_n but_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v lay_v it_o upon_o i_o and_o i_o dare_v not_o disobey_v the_o lord_n herein_o i_o can_v have_v be_v willing_a to_o have_v bear_v it_o all_o and_o have_v bury_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o land_n of_o everlasting_a oblivion_n if_o the_o god_n of_o my_o life_n have_v not_o lay_v it_o upon_o i_o for_o i_o take_v no_o pleasure_n in_o lay_v open_a of_o any_o man_n nakedness_n or_o weakness_n or_o discover_v any_o man_n offence_n crime_n or_o transgression_n nor_o in_o the_o publication_n of_o such_o thing_n but_o i_o see_v that_o god_n be_v just_a in_o all_o his_o way_n &_o work_n and_o will_v render_v to_o man_n a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n according_a to_o his_o work_n so_o that_o as_o g_o f_o have_v be_v very_o active_a in_o search_v after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o fail_n and_o offence_n of_o other_o and_o in_o publish_v of_o they_o and_o in_o use_v severity_n towards_o the_o offender_n now_o it_o be_v the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o the_o just_a god_n to_o have_v his_o offence_n make_v manifest_a and_o publish_v &_o herein_o this_o scripture_n come_v to_o be_v fulfil_v there_o be_v nothing_o hide_v that_o shall_v not_o be_v reveal_v what_o be_v do_v in_o

see_v that_o the_o manifest_v and_o the_o publication_n of_o these_o thing_n concern_v this_o man_n be_v just_a at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o righteous_a god_n and_o i_o who_o have_v no_o other_o end_n in_o it_o but_o to_o answer_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o will_v make_v manifest_a the_o hide_a thing_n of_o darkness_n and_o bring_v to_o light_v that_o which_o have_v be_v veil_v in_o

since_o he_o have_v seek_v to_o exalt_v himself_o and_o throw_v down_o other_o to_o set_v up_o himself_o in_o the_o high_a place_n in_o the_o seat_n of_o god_n to_o rule_v as_o lord_n over_o god_n

appear_v &_o his_o glory_n be_v stain_v that_o god_n alone_o may_v have_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o work_n who_o be_v jealous_a of_o his_o honour_n and_o will_v not_o give_v his_o glory_n to_o

another_o and_o this_o be_v see_v in_o the_o light_n of_o divine_a glory_n that_o many_o eminent_a instrument_n in_o the_o work_n of_o reformation_n have_v bring_v shame_n &_o confusion_n upon_o themselves_o in_o seek_v to_o exalt_v themselves_o over_o the_o people_n which_o have_v have_v a_o high_a esteem_n of_o they_o and_o look_v upon_o they_o above_o their_o place_n which_o have_v kindle_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o they_o who_o once_o employ_v they_o in_o his_o service_n therefore_o o_o israel_n give_v thou_o the_o honour_n and_o the_o glory_n unto_o thy_o god_n alone_o and_o to_o his_o government_n only_o do_v thou_o submit_v lest_o thou_o be_v charge_v with_o the_o guilt_n of_o this_o sin_n in_o overvalue_a or_o too_o high_a estimation_n of_o some_o such_o instrument_n as_o god_n have_v employ_v in_o his_o service_n through_o affection_n and_o the_o undervalue_v of_o other_o through_o disaffection_n that_o thou_o give_v not_o the_o glory_n honour_n &_o praise_v to_o the_o creature_n that_o proper_o and_o whole_o belong_v to_o the_o creator_n who_o be_v over_o all_o god_n bless_v for_o ever_o the_o desire_n of_o my_o soul_n be_v that_o this_o sin_n may_v not_o be_v find_v in_o thou_o nor_o lay_v to_o thy_o charge_n the_o lord_n have_v say_v in_o the_o zeal_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n that_o all_o the_o idol_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v abolish_v and_o that_o the_o haughilness_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v lay_v low_o so_o that_o all_o man_n though_o never_o so_o high_a in_o esteem_n that_o seek_v after_o their_o own_o private_a

in_o his_o judgement-seat_n to_o give_v forth_o legal_a prescription_n &_o to_o enjoin_v the_o performance_n of_o any_o external_a form_n of_o practice_n such_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v
