But the Elect who dwells in the light which comes from Jesus they cannot deceive in it they are seen and known and tryed and made manifest to be the deceivers to be the false Prophets and Antichrists And with the light which comes from Jesus they are condemned with the world and turned from with all the Children of light therefore poor people who are out of the light you they do deceive but those whose minds are turned to the light and abides in the light they cannot deceive And Christ Jesus saith woe unto you when all men shall speak well of you for so did their Fathers to the false Prophets Now try them by the Scripture and see whether this woe be not upon them and whether they be not of the false Prophets And Peter saith in 2 Pet. 2. But there were false Prophets among the people Now try them by that Chapter and see whether they be not these false Prophets which denies the light which comes from Christ Jesus their Lord that bought them And through Covetousness shall they through fained words make Merchandize of you Let that in your Consciences now try and search them by this Scripture The same Apostle in the Chapter before saith We have also a more sure Word of Prophesie whereunto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place untill the day dawn and the day-star arise in your hearts Knowing this first that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any private Interpretation For the prophecie came not in the time of old by the will of man but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost Now see whether Peter and these that draw to the Light be the false Prophets or them that denyes the Light and hates it Read 2 Tim. 3. and try them by that Scripture and see if they be not them that the Apostle speaks on there having a form of Godlinesse but denying the power and he saith from such turn away And see if they be not of this sort which creeps into houses and calls them Churches when as the Apostle saith the Church is in God and leads Captive silly women laden with divers lusts Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth Now see and try your Teachers by these Scriptures and see what you have learned of them all your dayes that you have followed them what you can witnesse of God or of Christ made manifest Nay that in your Consciences will confess that you do not know this outward Scripture which makes them manifest to be the false Prophets Deceivers who drawes from the light which gave forth the Scriptures even in the knowledge of the outward letter you are blinded by them Read 2 Pet. 3.3 and see if ye and they be not found those scoffers walking after your own lust saying Where is the promise of his coming And read Jude and try them see whether they be not found there under the Woe that he speaks on whether they run not greedily for rewards so perish in the Gainsaying of Core And let that in your Consciences which is of God which respects no mans person read and examine those Scriptures and try them and see whether they be not erred from the Light so drawes others from the Light which is and ever was the Saints Teacher and ever shall be from which all the holy men of God ever spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost And from which Light all these Scriptures were given forth which these Deceivers takes in their mouthes and drawes people from the Light which gave forth the Scriptures and so betrayes their soules Therefore all people to the light in your Consciences which Christ Jesus hath enlightened you withall turn within keep to it and go not forth not look not outward and it will let you see the deceivers and betrayers of your soules And if ye be faithful and obedient to it it will let you see your Saviour False Prophets is in the world and Antichrists is in the world and the Deceivers is of the world and those that doth not confess Christ Jesus come in the flesh is of the world But those that dwell in the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened them withall this leads out of the world out of the worlds wayes fashions and Customs and this makes a separation from the world and this leads up to God And this Light is the Condemnation of the world and the condemnation of all the deceivers false prophets and Antichrists which are in the world And who is faithful and obedient to the light witnesses Christ made manifest and come in the flesh and these are no Antichrists And these are they that go forth to bear witness against the false Prophets and Antichrists which are in the world and these are they that are stockt and beat and Imprisoned and persecuted by those which are of the first nature which is Cain who slew his brother and this is of the world And by this Generation all that will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution and it is our joy and rejoycing not only to believe on his Name but also to suffer for his sake All poor people who are in the dark world blind led with the blind beware and look where you are lest you both fall into the ditch and try your Leaders by the Scripture who is pleading for sin and transgression and telling you that ye shall not be free from sin nor perfect while you are upon earth Now is that fulfilled which the Apostle speaks on in 2 Tim. 3.
