A93391	To professors of religion of all sorts, and likewise to prophane, in and about this city of Chester [by] Richard Smith.	Smith, Richard, of Chester.	1675 (1675)	Wing S4161; ESTC R184322	2,833	1

to_o professor_n of_o religion_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o likewise_o to_o profane_a in_o and_o about_o this_o city_n of_o chester_n this_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o you_o in_o defence_n of_o that_o glorious_a truth_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v to_o light_n in_o this_o our_o day_n and_o which_o shall_v never_o more_o be_v extinguish_v though_o many_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n have_v open_v their_o mouth_n against_o we_o to_o destroy_v we_o for_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o same_o and_o which_o hitherto_o we_o have_v believe_v bear_v and_o still_o do_v bear_v witness_n to_o that_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v life_n and_o the_o witness_n in_o himself_o which_o life_n be_v the_o light_n of_o man_n which_o light_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o it_o follow_v it_o and_o obey_v it_o shall_v not_o abide_v in_o darkness_n but_o shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o life_n yea_o it_o shall_v take_v root_n grow_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n and_o prosper_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o he_o who_o forth_o of_o his_o rich_a love_n to_o mankind_n have_v so_o manifest_v it_o now_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o in_o and_o about_o this_o city_n which_o have_v make_v a_o large_a profession_n of_o this_o truth_n and_o have_v by_o their_o err_a from_o it_o open_v many_o mouth_n who_o be_v say_v we_o see_v the_o same_o thing_n among_o you_o which_o you_o have_v count_v evil_a among_o we_o and_o deny_v and_o judge_v we_o for_o and_o which_o you_o once_o deny_v yourselves_o and_o yet_o talk_v of_o perfection_n and_o plead_v for_o the_o light_n in_o answer_n to_o which_o i_o with_o those_o people_n scornful_o call_v quaker_n do_v say_v we_o have_v not_o only_o deny_v you_o because_o of_o your_o bad_a fruit_n but_o as_o be_v out_o from_o that_o not_o believe_v in_o the_o true_a light_n which_o light_v every_o one_o that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n which_o will_v make_v you_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n for_o make_v the_o tree_n good_a and_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v good_a say_v christ_n the_o light_n and_o we_o do_v judge_v ourselves_o first_o and_o espy_v the_o beam_n in_o our_o own_o eye_n for_o be_v turn_v to_o the_o light_n which_o make_v manifest_v the_o least_o thing_n that_o appear_v in_o we_o contrary_a thereto_o be_v as_o a_o beam_n which_o while_o stand_v cloud_v and_o overspread_v the_o pure_a presence_n of_o god_n wherefore_o we_o be_v not_o at_o rest_n day_n or_o night_n till_o the_o beam_n be_v pluck_v out_o and_o so_o do_v we_o espy_v and_o reprove_v the_o fault_n of_o other_o who_o either_o plead_v for_o sin_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v or_o excuse_v their_o own_o iniquity_n by_o other_o fail_n and_o yet_o think_v themselves_o safe_a and_o this_o i_o will_v have_v none_o to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o that_o although_o we_o believe_v perfection_n to_o be_v attainable_a in_o this_o world_n yet_o we_o be_v very_o sensible_a that_o it_o be_v not_o always_o the_o work_n of_o a_o day_n month_n or_o year_n but_o that_o there_o must_v be_v much_o wait_a many_o a_o sigh_n groan_v and_o tear_v a_o great_a spiritual_a combat_n with_o the_o dragon_n and_o his_o angel_n within_o a_o diligent_a and_o expert_a exercise_v of_o the_o whole_a armour_n of_o light_n ere_o such_o a_o state_n be_v witness_v but_o this_o be_v our_o comfort_n that_o we_o be_v true_o turn_v to_o the_o true_a light_n which_o give_v the_o victory_n in_o the_o end_n and_o so_o be_v not_o faithless_a but_o believe_v as_o also_o that_o the_o lamb_n war_n be_v true_o begin_v in_o we_o who_o fight_v our_o battle_n for_o we_o while_o we_o stand_v still_o and_o behold_v his_o salvation_n but_o we_o never_o do_v assert_v ourselves_o such_o because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o principle_n in_o we_o by_o no_o mean_n but_o that_o all_o who_o be_v lead_v by_o it_o be_v so_o far_o perfect_a and_o infallible_a and_o no_o jot_n far_o so_o that_o in_o plainness_n what_o bad_a fruit_n have_v appear_v in_o any_o go_v from_o we_o and_o once_o of_o we_o or_o yet_o may_v appear_v in_o or_o among_o some_o of_o we_o i_o will_v have_v all_o to_o know_v that_o such_o fruit_n be_v not_o from_o the_o light_n but_o from_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o light_n and_o of_o the_o soul_n too_o and_o all_o who_o give_v way_n to_o the_o temptation_n must_v bear_v their_o own_o burden_n and_o this_o i_o must_v say_v not_o only_o for_o myself_o but_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o other_o brethren_n and_o friend_n in_o who_o defence_n i_o have_v be_v make_v willing_a to_o write_v these_o line_n to_o stop_v all_o perverse_a tongue_n whatever_o and_o those_o of_o all_o sort_n who_o wait_v over_o we_o with_o a_o eye_n to_o spy_v evil_a that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o one_o among_o we_o who_o be_v true_o and_o sincere_o come_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n but_o do_v love_n judgement_n yea_o wait_v for_o his_o judgement_n to_o be_v bring_v forth_o to_o victory_n even_o as_o the_o watchman_n wait_v for_o the_o morning_n and_o so_o far_o be_v any_o such_o from_o plead_v for_o any_o one_o sin_n in_o thought_n word_n or_o deed_n that_o it_o be_v their_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n and_o like_o gall_n and_o wormwood_n to_o that_o of_o god_n in_o they_o when_o it_o be_v not_o answer_v neither_o can_v they_o be_v in_o the_o least_o content_a to_o shroud_v themselves_o under_o a_o profession_n of_o truth_n so_o as_o the_o more_o free_o to_o act_v deceit_n thereby_o but_o both_o desire_n and_o witness_v a_o growth_n in_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n as_o know_v that_o not_o to_o go_v forward_o be_v to_o go_v backward_o and_o as_o for_o any_o that_o have_v or_o still_o do_v come_v among_o we_o and_o seem_v to_o walk_v with_o we_o that_o be_v otherwise_o mind_v and_o condition_v than_o i_o have_v declare_v by_o the_o light_n they_o be_v judge_v and_o by_o the_o truth_n deny_v and_o by_o the_o fan_n winnow_v and_o in_o themselves_o condemn_v wherefore_o stumble_v not_o at_o the_o light_n and_o truth_n because_o of_o offence_n for_o it_o cause_v not_o the_o offence_n but_o by_o degree_n gather_v all_o that_o believe_v in_o it_o and_o follow_v it_o into_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o make_v fearfulness_n in_o due_a time_n to_o surprise_v the_o hypocrite_n so_o god_n be_v glorify_v &_o his_o truth_n
