A84841	A word from the Lord, to all the world, and all professors in the vvorld; spoken in parables: wherein all may come to read themselves through the parables, and see where they are; also a word to all professors, who cast the pure law of God behind their backs, and turn the grace of God into wantonness, and despite the day of their visitation; with a dreadful voice to all the children of darkness, who hate and deny the light; that all may come to see themselves, and repent, before the fierce wrath of the Lord, which is kindled in England, sweep you all away: by them who are redeemed out of the curse, to serve the living, called Quakers.	Fox, George, 1624-1691.	1654 (1654)	Wing F1991A; Thomason E809_6; ESTC R207560	15,809	15

the Truth Fat Bulls of Bashan Hypocrites and Serpents Antichrists Seducers and Deceivers Dragons Murtherers and Devourers of them that abide in the Truth But they that abide in the Truth the Deceits of all the World are discovered to them TO all the children of darkness that stumble at the light wherewith Christ hath enlig●ted every one that cometh into the world saith Christ I am the light of the world he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life And this light you deny to be sufficient to lead to God and here you are unbelievers and cannot believe in the Son of God whom the father hath given for a Covenant of light that whosoever believes in him should not abide in darkness but you that deny this light deny the way to the father the way out of the world the way out of darkness you deny the Prophets and Apostles and all the holy men of God for they all walked in this light and spoke of it and you deny the Scriptures given out from this light and by this light you are condemned and found to be of that sort which all that dwelt in the light bear witness against for of this sort you are who deny the light Such as are blind guides proud and covetous such as are called of men Masters such as bear rule by your means hirelings greedy dumb dogs such as seek for their gain from their quarters seeks for the Fleece lay heavy burdens on the people such as go in the way of Cain and after the error of Balaam for gifts and rewards and such as with feigned words make merchandize of the people which Christ the light and all that vvalked in the light cryed vvoe against and their vvords in the Scripture are left as a vvitness against you all vvho live in such things vvhich vvords you dare not stand to be tryed by they are so plain against your practice but vvrest them by your subtilty giving other meanings and private interpretations on them to make them fit your private ends and filthy practices and thereby they have covered your filthiness and hid your iniquities all these times of dark 〈◊〉 ●nd have gone under the name of the Ministers of Christ by crying out against others for persecuting quarrelling fighting stocking stoning suing covetousness pride and idleness and thus by your fair pretences have ye deceived the simple but novv that the same Christ is manifest vvhich hath alvvays been persecuted by his light are they discovered to be these vvho garnish the Sepulchres of Christ the Prophets and Apostles whom your fathers slew which ye your selves are in the same work are not you now found beating backbiting stocking imprisoning suing false-accusing and perswading the Powers of the earth against the bodies of these where the light of Christ is owned and the brightness of his coming manifest to lay you open so that the Prisons are filled by your means who would have believed within these few years that you had been of them of which Christ spoke by which his messengers should be shamefully intreated beat in the Synagogues halled before Rulers falsly accused and imprisoned who would have thought you had been the men who should have been found beating your fellow servants suing and imprisoning for tythes and hire such who cannot uphold you but sin against the light of Christ in their conscience and these whom a few weeks since you counted the most consciencious of your hearers to whom you cryed peace peace now that they cease putting into your mouths you prepare war against them and here you are found in the steps of the false Prophets who were enemies to the light and were witnessed against by the light as all who walk in the light are now turned away from you and are come out from you and made to declare against you with that light and now by such as are turned from the light are ye upholden and to them ye flye for refuge and now you set up drunkards swearers scorners fighters such as deny the light and bring forth works of darkness to uphold you with clubs stones and stocks fighting and tearing by the hair of the head and shedding of blood of such as are sent to vvitness against you and the most envious and cruel are become your best friends and the Scripture is fulfilled upon you all Like People like Priest and the woe that came upon such is coming upon you all except you repent FINIS
