he is an example and wilt thou look for another Christ then he that dyed at Jerusalem because Humphery Smith sayes He looks for no other are you Baptists angry at this he that looks for another I must tell you it is that Antichrist 1. Query Whether that was not the Light within that the Pharisees stop their ears to and closed their eyes if it was not what was it 2. Are not all eyes stopt and all ears closed till they come to the Light within and all in the ungenerate and impenitent state till they come to the Light within 3. Is not the Light within the eye that beholds God and Christ 4. And can any see God or Christ without the Light within or can they see him with a Natural eye who is a Spirit 5. And is it not the Spiritual eye by which Christ is beheld and is not that within Or is there any fellowship or Vnity amongst any people that is of God but they must c me to the Light within Answer these-Queries all you Baptists who oppose the Light within or else for ever let your mouths be stopt 6. Could any one ever hear God Christ Prophets Apostles or Angels if it was not with the Light within which gave to understand their words 7. Or can any come to the knowledge of the Truth or to Repentance Faith or the Gifts of God or come to Worship God in the Spirit and Truth if they do not come to the Light within 8. Or can any know Christ to be the Son of God and the Saviour and know his Resurrection and his Blood and him to be the offering who remains in the Heavens and restors all things and by what he does restore if it be not by the Light of Christ within 9. And do not the Baptists stick in Bread Water and Wine instead of the substance 10. Is this a time for you to brawl and to jangle and wrangle about outward things could the prodigal fill his belly with the husks Did not he leave the husks when he came to the Fathers house Was not this parable spoken to the Jews who lived in outward things And may not this be spoken to you who live in outward things warnglers and fighters about them in the field and comes not to the Fathers House Did not Cain k ll his brother in the field and is not the field the World Friend in the fourtieth page of thy book thou charges the Quakers to be in a very great error because they say The Eternal Spirit in man is the Saviour of the World and to contradict this thou puts a difference between Christ and the Comforter in this sence I have said there is a difference as in his several Administrations and as he oppe●●ts in one to condemnation and is near in another to justification in this sence there is a difference when he Ministers wrath and his everlasting burnings against the wicked and when he Ministers Peace Joy and everlasting assurance to those that love his Light and have followed it in the way of its Righteous Judgements so I say there is a difference when God who is pure Love pure Peace in himself hath to do and deal with man who is joyned to the Seed of Esau and Cain which is reprobated this was alwayes hated by the Lord and to the froward and perverse Gene●●●●on God did alwayes shew himself froward though God changes not neither is he froward though he shew himself so and stands with his Right arm as an Adversarie to the wicked Psal 18.26 With the Pure thou wilt shew thy self Pure with the Merciful thou wilt shew thy self Merciful with an upright man thou wilt shew thy self upright but with the froward thou wilt shew thy self froward vers 25. and so though there be diversities of administrations yet is there but one Lord who is the same and changeth not Thou sayest also The eternal Spirit which dwelt in the Man Christ Jesus which after the Apostles received in them is called another Comforter and that by Christ himself which would not come unto the Apostles unlesse as thou sayest the true Christ went away and so thou wouldst fain prove that the Comforters which afterware dwelt in the Apostles was not the true Christ and for proof her of thou 〈…〉

the Prophets and Righteous men heard his voice and he wrought all their works in them for them and saved his people from their sins took away the shadowand destroyed death and ransomed them from the power of the grave and did such works in them for them as never man ever did is not this the very Christ yea this is he and besides him there is no Saviour neither do I look for another he opens the blind eye and the deaf ear he causeth to hear he makes the dumb to speak and the lame to walk he opens the heart to discipline and commandeth man to depart from iniquity he saith and it cometh to passe as ever the Winds and the Sea doth he rebuke and still the proud Waves thereof as in the Generations past this is the Lords doing and in my eyes very marvellous this is his Name and his Memorial the Lord our Righteousnesse throughout all Generations this is he that saith I am the Lord and change not that is my Name and besides me there is no Saviour let all Disputers of this World be confounded before him whose way is everlasting that sitteth upon the Flouds and walketh on the Sea as on dry land and the waters sink not under him that turneth the darknesse into light and the day light into the shadow of death let all the wise to do evil and oppose him be made mad for ever and let them not find an arm to help them that cannot see the Arm of Gods Salvation but are comparing the Holy One of Israel the Immanuel to and with themselves and likening the invisible and incorruptible Redeemer of the invisible and immortal soul unto corruptible man that are setting up the letter instead of the eternal quickening Spirit that giveth life that sees not a difference betwixt the flesh that profiteth not and the flesh that is the life and if I say the Saviour of the World I lie not between the word that doth wash cleanse and purifie the Hearts of the Saints and was like a hammer and a fire in Jeremiah and in all the Prophets and is the same and changes not in all Generations which word they heard and believed in it and therefore spake and the Word that the Apostles did feel taste hear and handle which was in the beginning with God and was God and this is the Saviour of the World and besides him there is not another but ye being blind cannot perceive him that took Flesh upon him and had a Body prepared to do the will of him that set him if thou hast an ear to hear or an eye to perceive this is he that descended and the same that ascended far above all Heavens into the bosom of the Father and sitteth on the right hand on the Majesty on high and is glorified with the same Glory that he had with the Father before the world began this is a mystery if thou canst receive it thou art happy But may not I say as once was said to the men of Galilee Why stand ye gazing Why are you seeking the Living among the Dead Is not he the Resurrection And is there any life in any other Is not this he that is the eternal and everlasting day in which ye ought to walk And out of the Bosom of the Father did he not proceed and was one with him who saith This is my beloved Son hear Him And the Holy Ghost did appear in the likenesse of a Dove yet was not a Dove so say I and my sayings are faithful and true Christ the Saviour of the World came in the likenesse of sinful flesh and took upon him the form of a Servant yet was he not sinful flesh but the eternal Son of God which was begotten of the Spirit and is Spirit there is a Spiritual Body and there is a natural Body there is a corruptible and there is an incorruptible Body but this is a mystery to the World in a few words time would fail me to declare his Generation to the uttermost I may say that which I have seen of him Oh the depth and heighth length and breadth of his unsearchable riches and wisdom and how in all generations he hath been to his people an infinite treasure a boundlesse fountain and an everlasting stream of goodnesse life vertue peace and pure satisfaction in all generations who was before all the Authour Creator and Maker of all in whom was Life and he is not changed but in him is life eternal peace everlasting and satisfaction eternally and his life runs through all discerns and beholds all and shines in the darknesse and none can flee from him neither is there any darknesse nor shadow of death where the worker of iniquity can hide himself from his dreadful hand that it should not find him out though man being in the first birth and born blind and a transgressor from his mothers womb doth not see nor comprehend the Light that hath enlightned him though it shine in his heart and doth convince all and reprove all of their ungodly deeds and hard speeches that they have wickedly spoken against the Lord yea and it will condemn thee Matthew Caffin for all thy ungod like and unchristian-like lyes and slanders cast upon the people whom the Lord hath blessed and chosen for his peculiar treasure even thee in whom the Father of lyes ruleth and his works are wrought in thy wicked heart out of which cometh slanders and lyes abundantly and them thou dost invent thy self and calst them the Quakers errors when thou hast done whose foundation and principle thou knowest not but speakest evil of that wch thou art a stranger unto though thou talkest of faith of being a Christian indeed which thou sayst few do attain unto yet art thou one of the vain disputers of the world like Cain art wounding and shooting thy arrows against the innocent and like Ishmael art scorning the Lords people saying the Quakers saith turn to the light within this was Pauls Commission and the Quakers work which in this world they have to do this was the Prophets work and Johns message to turn people from darknesse to the light and from the Power of Satan to God Act. 26.18 and 1 John 5. and Paul saith it was the Light that shone in the heart which must give them the knowledge of the glory of God and John said the anointing which was in them that was truth and nolye taught them all things and with this anointing or unction they were to try the false Spirits though thou scornest at the Quakers because their message is to turn people to the light and though it be true that the light within was sufficient and it is the same and changeth not to all the Fathers which died in the faith to save them from all sin and redeem them out of all tribulation and in which Light they walked with God who is the Fountain and Father of Lights and they were
