A89249	The true light hath made manifest darknesse: or, Sion builded up, and Babylon cast downe. With a true answer of what the Baptist teachers objected against the servant of the Lord who in scorn is called a Quaker, and known to the world by the name of Iohn Moon, in several places in VVales, both in Radnorshire, and Breck-nockshire, whose names are these. Hugh Evans, John Price, Daniel Penry, Reese Davies, John Prosser, Evans Oliver, and Vavasor Powel, who are called ministers of the gospel, but are found to be enemies to it. Some of Vavasor Powel's doctrine tryed, and made manifest by the light. And also some queries given forth, and are to be answered by them that lives in observations. This is given forth by me who is a lover of the truth, and known to the world by this name, John Moone.	Moon, John, fl. 1657-1685.	1657 (1657)	Wing M2526; Thomason E909_4; ESTC R207461	13,726	23

they may be one even as we are one Them who have an eye to see withal let them see the confusion which the Baptist declares vvho vvould make Christ and his Spirit distinct one from the other which is contrary to the Scripture so with the Scripture they are judged and with the life which gave forth the Scripture they are condemned as Christ said the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth John 4. 23. for the Father seeketh such to worship him for God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in truth and now herein you may see that Christ and Ver. 24. that Spirit wherein he is worshiped is one and it is them that he is well pleased with but them that knows not his true worship speaks evill of it and these are them that would make a distinction between Christ and his Spirit As the servant of the Lord who is by the world called quaker went to a meeting and there to wait upon the Lord and as he was moved by the Lord to declare his word to the people how they must come to know the way unto God which is light and said that which made manifest sin is light and it is that light which shews man the broad way which is sin and if man would hearken to that light and obey it it would lead him to know the strait way where life is to be found and said as long as man is going on in his sin he is in the way of darkness and there the true light shines and shews him the evill deeds of darkness and now he that loves the Lord and would know the redemption of his soule must learne of the light to deny that will whereby he is lead to do evil for it is that will which is not subiect to the Lord and as long as man harbors that will he harbors the cursed thing which is the enemie of mans soul and man that harbors that cursed thing with it is to perish but man denying the cursed thing owning that light and obeying it it would lead him to know a day of redemption and if man deny that light which shews him sin to be his teacher redemption he will not know Then one of the cheefest of the professors called Iohn Price hearing me declare to the people how they should know truth from error and light from darkness then he said there is an other way besides light and darkness and that they are distinct one from the other I bade him prove three ways and this is his proof there is God man and the devil I bade him prove them distinct one from the other and clear it to the satisfying of the people that way which was neither light nor darkness and I demanded of him to shew and make manifest to the people the word which said they are distinct one from the other but he could not An. Now this I say that there is no other way but light and darkness and man is in the one way and obeying the one as the Scripture maketh manifest know ye not that to Rom. 6. 26. whom ye yeeld your selves servants to obey his servants ye are now if man obey the light he obeys God and if man obey sin he obeys the worke of the devil now every one consider and mind the light which will shew man which way he is going and when he doth evil it reproves him and shews him whose worke he is doing for there is none that can serve two Masters so people consider whom ye serve I Cor. 6. 16 17. and what ye are joyned unto for he that is joyned to an harlot is one body for two saith he shall be one flesh but he that is joyned to the Lord is one spirit and now every one own that light which will shew you what you are joyned unto and every one that is joyned to his own will which is the lust of the flesh except he deny that will with it he must perish So every one that would know the way to the kingdome of God must learn of the light to deny his owne will and take up the Cross and follow Christ Jesus dayly and then he will come to know the power of God which overcomes the wicked one this I say that there is God man and the devil and man is joyned to the one either to God or to an harlot now let the wise in heart judge where the third way is And the same man saith that faith is not the gift of God An. Now this I say that faith whereby man is saved from sin is the gift of God as the Scripture beareth testimony for by Eph. 2. 8. grace ye are saved through faith that not of your selves it is the gift of God now here in your way see how contrary to the Scripture he speaks though many may have the letter and know the Chapter and verse and yet be ignorant of the way unto life so all people consider what way you are in and what faith you do know for that faith which is without works is dead now see if you know that faith which saves from sin if not your faith you must perish and this is that faith which the world lives in and though the world may have the letter to talke on yet this I say there was not any by it saved for the drunkard the swearer lyer and the covetous one these have the letter to talke on but are not saved from their sins and these are them who follow the blind teachers of the world and if the blind lead the blind both shall fall into the ditch now people consider in what condition you are in and see if you can witness to be saved from your sins for if you live in them ye are them who are deceived and are in the broad way for sin is the broadest way that any can walke in now let him that readeth read with an understaning and see if in all the Scripture ye can find of any other saving faith but what is given of God Daniel Penry another of the Baptists said as he was declaring to the people That the Devil spake in the people of God Answ Now this I say That the people of God is the Temple of God as the Scripture declares Know ye not that 1 Cor. 6. 19. your bodyes is the Temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you Now people consider how confusedly he hath spoken for that which he said is more likely to be the Synagogue of Satan then the Temple of God for where the Devil speaks is the Idols Temple and God said What agreement hath the 1 Cor. 6. 19. Temple of God with Idols For ye are the Temple of the living God as God hath said I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will he their God and they
