is enlightening and hath enlightened his with the glorious Gospel which light was before the letter was and the Lord is coming to make your Kingdom dark who have set us Queens and seen no sorrow Now your desolation is coming therefore your folly and madness you are venting forth And as you say Wherefore Solomon did apply his hearts to know Wisdom and the Wickedness of folly and madness so Christians are not to be discommended who do endeavor to know mistical errour of the New Antichristians which are risen up amongst us This wisdom is made manifest to the Church of God whereas Solomon did apply his heart to know Wisdom we do witness Solomons word and the wickedness of your folly and madness to us is discovered so such Christians are not to be discommended who have put on Christ and stand armed against your wills and deceits who do endeavor to know and do know the mistical error of your new Antichristian Religion which is the old Antichrist which is risen up amongst us that they may avoyd them God hath enlightened his Saints so that the true light shines in them that your spirit is known to be the mistical spirit of error being in the way of Balaam you come to be denyed with them whom God hath raised and such you blaspheme who are the Temples of God and so the Scripture is fulfilled The Beast shall blaspheme God and his Temple And you who have written your complaint abroad and put it in print and say Some are risen up amongst you God hath raised up a feed those ways which you cannot destroy with all your bestical power And as you desire That they may be furnished with abilities to declare against them and the pains and labors of such are worthy commendations who by their Tongues and Pens do endeavor to lay open the Ridles and misteries of Satan and his Instruments Here you deceivers have contradicted your selves instead of giving commendations you give railing false Accusations upon them who are furnished with abilities to declare against you and the pains and labors of such who lay open your Ridles and the mystery of Satan which rules you and his Instruments unto discovery and hath discovered you to be both in Babylon and confusion that you may see it in papers and shall see it more and more amongst you Some write some speak some print according as they are furnished with the abilities which God hath given them to testifie against you who have long deceived the Nation and have been the Instruments of Satan standing up for his Kingdom but now the glorious light shines by which you are discovered And as you say Among whom these Brethren are to be justly and deservedly honored who have pithily solidly and Christianly discovered some of the Serpentine errors and delusions and mysteries of the Familists and Quakers In this here you Pharisees have justified your selves and would be honored for your pithiness solidity and Christianity as you call it but your madness and folly and unjust dealing is discovered and your Serpentine errors and delusions and mysteries which you accuse some of the Quakers of take it home and judg your selves for there you shall find it it is your own condition portion and condemnation all who are in the Light witness it with me And as you say These Brethren are to be justly honored Brethren you are but in the generation of the Pharisees which was ever against Christ as you have shewed by your consulting together against his Spirit where it is as the chief Priests Scribes and Pharisees did but all the righteous blood which hath been shed was by that generation wherein you live but wo is upon you who put light for darkness darkness for lâ—ght and evil for good but wo is upon you and upon all such who are covered but not with the Spirit of the Lord and stand not in his Counsel but follow after your own imaginations therefore have you uttered forth your lyes And as you say The blessing of him that dwelt in the Bush be upon the endeavors of these brethren and prosper this small Book which hath much in it for the battering of errour and the maintaining of truth according to Scripture which is the prayers of us who can subscribe our selves friends to all Saints whose names are these I find subscribed to this Advertisement Christopher Feaks Iohn Simpson George Cokain Lawrance Wise Whereas you speak The blessing of him who dwelt in the Bush to be upon the endeavors of these brethren and prosper their small Book Him ye know not who is the living God Moses which saw him was a Quaker and you scornfully deride such who are brought into his condition now and Judg with your dark minds and evil thoughts them to be in error so would ye do with Moses So the curses and plagâ—… and vengeance of God will fall upon these Brethren as you call 〈◊〉 who have uttered forth their lyes and their errors and that will come upon it in stead of prospering it which you say hath much in it for the beating down of Error and maintaining of Truth In it you have set up the spirit of lying and the spirit of Error as in saying we deny Christ and so in maintaining of that which is contrary to Truth which is a lying spirit According to Scriptures I have proved you for as the Scripture saith Lyars are without God And as you say which is the prayers of us who can subscribe our selves friends to all Saints The prayers of you Lyars are the prayers of the wicked which are an abomination to God And whereas you mention Saints They are ashamed of your practises of your lyes errors and blasphemies nor cannot subscribe to you nor none of your friends Friends the Saints may call you as Christ did Iudas and him that had not the wedding garment who must go into utter darkness and thither you are to go who are false accusers and slanderers so the Scripture is fulfilled upon you who have wrested and perverted them And so much for your Advisement FINIS
