are gone out into the world i Ioh. 4 i And your spirit and doctrine is tryed and proved to be contrary to the Apostles who had the Spirit of God dwelling in them and were guided by it and the Spirituall man judged all things but you bring a contrary Doctrine to theirs that saith the Spirituall man doth not judge all things here you have the lying spirit you also said you had not the same spirit that the Apostles of Christ had so a contrary as it is tryed therefore are you the false Prophets that are gone out into the world preaching for hyre and seeking your gaine from your quarter and so to be denyed and declared against as such false teachers was Ier. 5 30,3i Isa 56 i0 ii And you that said you had not the same spirit that the Apostles had your spirit is the false spirit and not the true then not the spirit of God therefore you are to be holden accursed and also your doctrine that is contrary and by a contrary spirit to theirs Gal. i,8,9 The Apostles and ministers of Christ and the New-Covenant were able Ministers of the spirit 2 Cor. 3.6 and they had the spirit of God dwelling in them i Iohn 3.24 i Cor. 2 i2 Rom. 8 i4,15 i6 And they that had the spirit of God to wit Christs Apostles you said you had not the same spirit that they had then the spirit of error therefore are you none of Christs Apostles nor Ministers that hath not his spirit for if any man have not the spirit of Christ they are none of his Rom. 8.9 but the Apostles and Ministers of Christ had the spirit of Christ and were made able Ministers thereby 2 Cor. 3.6 and by it they knew that they was his Rom. 8 i5 i6 i7 and you that say you have not their spirit you have not the spirit of Christ and so are none of his for they had his spirit out of your own mouths are you judged who have shewed a false spirit and a spirit of error whereby you are known and your spirit tryed and proved to be that spirit of error and so you that are in the spirit of error are those false Prophets that are gone out into the world i Iohn 4 i who through Covetousness makes a prey upon the people as such in your nature did Ezek. 34. Mic. 3 ii 2. Pet. 2. Iude ii And you that say the spirituall man doth not judg all things when the Minister of the spirit and spirituall man in his Doctrine said he doth judge all things as by Scripture is proved here again you ly of the Scriptures and cross the Spirituall Mans doctrine and bringeth a contrary doctrine to the Spirituall Mans Doctrine therefore sylence deceivers and stop your mouths you are not to be received into the house of believers but to be holden accursed as the Scripture saith 2 Iohn 9 i0 i1 Galathians i. 8 You two Priests are manifested to be out of the Apostles Doctrine and false witnesses against the truth of the Spirituall Mans Doctrine for hee that is spirituall judgeth all things so saith the Scriptures and you ly against plain Scripture and saith the Spiritual Man doth not judg all things the Spiritual Mans words proves the truth against your error and deceit for he who was the learned Apostle in the Spiritual truths doth affirm the truth of the thing and saith he that is Spirituall judgeth all things proved in 1 Cor. 2 i5 And they had an unction from the holy one who thereby knew all things proved by sound words in Scripture i Iohn 2.20 He that said the Spirituall man judged all things is to be beleeved before you for he had the spirit of God guiding him and you say you have not the same Spirit therefore are you and your doctrine to be denyed and he thae said the Spirituall man judged all things is to beleeved before you for he knew the counsell of God witnessed by Scripture Acts 20.26,27,28 but you that have not the Apostles Spirit as you said you had not you are out of the Counsel of God also which they stood in and therefore are you to be denyed declared against by such as stand in the counsel of God as the Gospel ministers did Acts 20. 27. who your selves are found lyars of the Apostle that stood in the Counsel of God and falfe witnesses against his doctrine that shunned not to declare the Counsel of God which you are not in that said the Spirituall man did not judg all things and the SCRIPTURE saith Hee doth judge all Things and is to bee believed and you are by the life of them judged and denyed who also said you had not an infallible spirit and said you had not the same Spirit that the Apostles had then you have the fallible false lying Spirit the spirit of error as it is proved and as you to the Children of light have manifessed your selves your dark Caves will not hide you who be in the works of darkness Therefore can wee the CHILDREN of LIGHT have no fellowship with your unfruitfull VVORKS of DARKNESSE but rather reprove them as wee are required proved Ephesians 5 ii And woe to you and all such who are covered but not with the SPIRIT of the LORD who adds Sin unto Sin as such in your nature do and aforetime did read Isa 30 i Another Example concerning the SPIRITUALL MANS Iudgement the SPIRIT of the LORD in STEPHEN the Messenger of GOD who were full of the HOLY GHOST that SPIRIT in and through him did see the IEVVS hearts and so far judged them that they were wounded or cut to the very hearts such as were out of Stephens Righteous life for in the Spirit he saw there inwards and told them they was uncircumcised in hearts and judging the uncircumcision of the hearts he judged the seat of enmity and Rebellion from whence proceeded the enmity that resis●ted the Holy Ghost and so he saw the secrets of their hearts and were able to judge the deceipt by the spirit given him of the Lord and by the same spirit in the gift or discerning with it others of the Messengers and Servants of God in the power of the Holy Ghost may see the uncircumcision of the heart and reprove and judg the enmity therein in the hearts of others where it is uncrucifyed though at it they rage now as then they did at him Stephen a man full of power and the holy Ghost said ye uncircumcised in hearts ye always resist the Holy Ghost as did your fathers so do ye and judging the uncircumcision of the heart that is judged which is for condemnation for who are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands the body of Sin is thereby put off and the enmitie slaine for therein lay the enmity in Sins body which being put off there is no confydence in the flesh but unyon with the Father through the Son enjoyed and witnessed and things judged by the

eternall Spirit both concerning salvation and condemnation for such as beleeved not the truth but hath pleasure in unrighteousness are for damnation as in the Spiritual mans doctrine is witnessed Acts 7 5i c. Philip. 3.3 Colos 2 ii and Ephes 3.14 i5 i6 2 Thes 2 i2 Priest Chester thou said Peter though an Apostle knew not the heart of another and so thou said a man might know and be able to judg his own heart but not the heart of another And the Priest of Drayton with the affirmed thee same to manifest your lyes against the truth and your enmity against the Spirituall mans judgment Then I took a bible and read Peters words of sound truth to confute your error there in that time instead of maintaining your cause according to truth you could not but suffered the rude people to hale me and others away and they stopped my mouth with hands and gloves and made one of us to bleed Oh shame upon such a profession teachers and people the end is seene and the fruits of it accursed that is out of the light and out of the truth the Lord is against such for as a Troop of Robbers wait for a man so the company of Priests murder in the way by consent proved Hosea 6. and 9. and there is like Priest like people as their fruits make it manifest and as may be read in Hosea the 4. and 9. And whereas you Priests and lyars said that Peter though an Apostle yet he knew not the heart of another and so you would have raised enmity against the truth saying one might know their owne hearts but not the hearts of others therefore ought they not to judge of the hearts of other men c. Now I shall answer that according to truth being by Scripture proved that Peter an Apostle did know the heart of another and judg the enmity therein which were conceived against the holy Ghost and so against the truth then by and with the same Spirit that was then in Peter the hearts of others may be seen and known therefore is and may the enmity be judged in others hearts by the Spirit of truth as was then but Peter by the spirit given him of God he did know anothers Heart to wit Annanias as then I said til I were haled away by the rude people and might not then be suffered to plead the truth against your deceipts let the honest hearted read Peters words of truth Act. 5. And with his Spirit where it is manifested to rule the heart and guide and govern in the understanding with the gift of the Spirit in the discerning such may judge your pride and deceipt who lies against the truth as then you did Read Acts 5. and there Peter knew the hearts of others and judged the deceipt therein of such by the Spirit of the Lord that Sinned against the truth and the holy Ghost and lyed not to men but to the Lord as Annanias and Saphira did and Peter said to him Annanias why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie against the holy Ghost Acts 5.3 And why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart thou hast not lyed unto men but unto God Acts 5.4 Annanias hearing these words fell down and gave up the Ghost and great fear came upon them that heard these things c. Acts 5.5,6 And Peter said to his wife how is it that ye have agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord behold the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the dore and shall carry thee out then fell she down straightway and yeilded up the Ghost c. Acts 5.7,8,9 i0 Here Peter knew the deceipt of two hearts to wit Annanias and Saphira he knew that Satan had filled their hearts and that they had lyed against the Holy Ghost and that they had tempted the Spirit of the Lord and as Peter knew it by the Spirit of the Lord given unto him from the Lord so others with the same gift from the Lord in the Revelation upon the Spirituall Rock on which the Church of God is built with the same Spirit others on that Rock may see and know deceiptfull and evil hearts and Spirits that are not of that Rock as he did being the gift of God to discern Spirits i Cor. i2 i0 Therefore those that have the discerning and gift given for that end to try Spirits whether they be of God or no the spirit of truth may judge the Spirit of error and deceipt and Sit where Satan Sits in others hearts as it did and the Spirituall man may judge the deceitful heart and the Servant of the Lord may condemn the lying tongue it is a gift proper to him from God according to the Fathers promise who hath said to his in his word every tongue that shall rise up in judgment against thee thou shalt condemn this is the heritage of the Servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord Isa 54 i7 Therefore be not offended at the Spirituall Mans judgment but let the deceipt of the heart be judged none are offended at it but such as are guilty and condemned by the light of God in their own consciences that answers the judgment to be just upon all who act contrary to the truth and loves darkness rather than the light Ioh. 3.19,20,21 and seeing it is the heritage of the servants of the Lord to condemn every tongue that shall rise up in judgment against them Isa 51 i7 Then there is no condemnation to such as be in the light and so in Christ Iesus Iohn 8.12 Rom. 8 i Therefore they may execute the word of the Lord and do his service and work in condemning deceitfull and evil tongues that riseth up in false judgment against them with joy may they do it because of the Lord their righteousness who hath given them such a gift and a priviledg worh their inheritance for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord to i ●ondemn every tongue that riseth in judgment against them therefore the●…●…ghteous Spirit may judge the evill heart and the servant of the Lord according to his word may condemn the lying tongue that riseth in judgment against him but the wicked are not to judge the righteous seed which God hath for ever blessed yet the seed of God may judge the seed of the serpent according to the word of the LORD at this the SERPENT is offended because by the righteous seed hee is judged and condemned but there is no condemnation to them that are in CHRIST IESUS who walhk not after the flesh but after the Spirit Rom. 8. and they that are Christs ave crucifyed the flesh with the affections and lust thereof Gal. 5.24 And where judgment is brought forth into victory and the fylth of the flesh pur●…ed out by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning Isa 4.

To the Reader Reader THe caus of my writing this little Treatise is not as an accusation against any but to cleare the truth from lying slanders that the wicked and Rebellious are readie to cast upon it who evilly intreated and shamefully abused the Messengers of the Lord especially at Drayton in Leicester Shire on two days that one day two Priests and another day six or seaven Priests did there meet and those called quakers by the world in disdain and reproach but to us reproaches is great riches as they was to Moses who was a quaker Heb. i2 2i Heb. i1. 25,26 On the twelf day of the eleventh Month by the world called Ianuary and according to their accompt i654 Him that the world calls Georg Fox went to Drayton to see his Father and Friends in the flesh and him that the world calls Richard Farnworth went with him and coming there they heard that Priest Stephens and others would give them a meeting to dispute with them notice there had been of it by the Priests party doth appear for many people gathered that day together concerning the same but George Fox and Richard Farnworth knew not of it until at Drayton they came and hearing thereof Richard Farnworth went up into the grave yeard and many people gathered about him in the mean while the Priests went into the Idols Temple at Drayton and some would have forced Richard Farnworth into them but he refused and said he was not come to uphold Idols c. Then several perswaded him to go into a great house like a Hall and the dwellers thereof came and said they should be welcome and have the command of the house and none should barre them c. Presently after came him they called George Fox into Drayton grave yeard and they thronged about him so for the truths sake they went into that great house like a hal and there they the Priests Priests party with others together there met and after some speech between the Priest of Drayton and him called George Fox there was a dispute about the spiritual man but severall times when him called George Fox and Richard Farnworth when either of them so called should by the spirit of the Lord have answered the rude people hailed them violently away severall times and stopt the mouth of Richard Farnworth with Fists and gloves and abused him sore and caused George Fox to bleed by their Cruell and Savage usage that day And afterwards on the i7 day of the same Month there was another meeting appointed at Dayton and the Priests gave notice of that and many Priests and people there was that day and very sore with them of the Priests party was him called George Fox used with violence that day the Priests party being set on him to undertake to use him so barbarously and cruelly as they did but truth triumphs over all deceipts and deceivers and the enmity of truths enemies the Priests and their party were abundantly that day made manifest such is the Fruits of the Priests flock and that which their ministry effecteth and hath brought forth and doth bring forth they may all blush and be ashamed of the same and Priest Stephens that laughed and rejoyced at the abuse of George Fox by the wickedness of his own people and they of his own house had a chiefe portion therein let shame strike the wife of priest Stephens his Son and Servant and also himself and the rest of the priests and their rude people that was there that day whose wickedness and folly did so much appear but in that I cease Read this little answering Treatise concerning the SPIRITUAL-MANS judgment which may cleare thine in the same and learn to know the ground of truth therein So I remain thy souls friends and all that love the truth Robert Farnworth This is to go abroad to stop lies and slanders that truth may be cleared c.
