and him that cleanseth them And the Spirit of Truth which leads into all Truth is come according to Christs Promise and this Spirit reproves the World of sin of righteousness and unbelief and of judgment and God hath poured forth his Spirit upon all Flesh and his Sons and Daughters do prophesie and young men shall see visions and old men shall dream dreams and upon his Handmaids and Servants he will pour out of his Spirit and so every one shall have something whereby they may have a sense of God the Word being sown upon all grounds and Christ where he speaks of his Talents speaks of a measure given to every one according to his ability So as it is said in Hebr. 1.8 and to the Son he saith Thy Throne O God is for ever and ever a Scepter of Righteousness is the Scepter of thy Kingdom thou hast loved Righteousness and hated Iniquity wherefore God even thy God hath anointed thee with oyl of gladness above thy Fellows And so mark the Fruit of Righteousness is sowed in peace of them that make peace James 3. and such as are heirs of this Righteousness are heirs of Christ the Righteousness it self And Christ who his own self bare our sins in his body on the Tree that we being delivered from sin should live in righteousness by whose stripes you are healed so it is plain people you should not live in unrighteousness and its clear through the Righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ we have obtained the precious Faith 2 Pet. 1.1 and 1 Iohn 2.29 Every one that doth righteousness is born of God and 1 Iohn 3.7 he that doth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous little children let no man deceive you and whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth not his brother verse 10. 2 Cor. 2.15 all that profess themselves Christians ought to be a sweet savour For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ in them that are saved and in them that perish Ephes 5.2 And people ought to walk in love even as Christ hath loved us and hath given himself for us an Offering and a Sacrifice of a sweet smelling savour to God And we have seen and do testifie that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the World 1 Iohn 4.14 And so to the only Wise God our Saviour be glory and majesty dominion and power both now and for ever Amen Jude vers 25. and he is able to keep us faultless before the Presence of his Glory with joy And we being justified by the Blood of Christ we shall be saved from wrath through him Rom. 5.9.10 For when we were Enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son much more being reconciled we shall be saved by his Life And the God of our Fathers hath raised up Jesus whom the Iews slew and hanged on a Tree him hath God raised up by his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour and who is a Prophet like unto Moses whom all must hear and this is my beloved Son hear ye him and learn of me saith Christ and God hath anointed him to preach to bind up the broken-hearted c. And so that people should live in all godliness and honesty and lead a peaceable life this is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour 1 Tim. 2. And wherefore was and is there hatred against the true Christians but because they trusted in the Living God who is the Saviour of all men especially of those that believe and Christ came not to destroy men lives but to save them 1 Tim 4.10 Hebr. 7. Christ is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by him 1 Tim. 1.15 This is a true saying and worthy of all acceptation that Jesus Christ is come into the World to save Sinners of whom I am chief Gal. 3. ●3 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law being made a curse for us Rev. 5.19 and Christ hath redeemed us to God by his Blood and so we know that we are not redeemed by corruptible things from our vain conversation but with the precious Blood of Christ therefore people are not to live in their vain conversation that are redeemed And therefore people are to redeem the time because the dayes are evil and be not unwise but understand what the Will of God is Col. 4.5 we are of him in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us Wisdom and Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption 1 Cor. 1.30 and we are justified freely by his Grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus Rom. 3.14 and Christ gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purge us to be a peculiar people unto himself zealous of good works and so not that people should live in iniquity and bad works Col. 1.20 and God by Christ reconciled all things to himself to set at peace thorow the Blood of his Cross both of things in Earth and things in Heaven therefore all people is to mind this reconciliation Hebr. 2.17 wherefore in all things it became Christ to be made like unto his Brethren that he might be a mercifull and faithfull High Priest in things pertaining to God that he might make reconciliation for the sins of the people so this is not that people should live in their sins and unrighteousness and ungodliness to dishonour God For if you should redeem a man from Turkey from being a Slave would it not grieve you for that man to go into Turkey to be a Slave again after you have paid a great Ransom for him so Christ redeeming people from sin and iniquity from unrighteousness which is from the slavery of the Devil by his Blood and Death and Offering and this is Gods Love to Mankind thorow Christ Jesus and doth he redeem from iniquity ungodliness sin and evil that they should go into it again and so into slavery will not this grieve God and Christ and will he not render vengeance in flames of Fire upon all them that doth not obey the Gospel of Christ and what will become of them that holds Truth in their ungodly and unrighteous minds that is the truths of God and the truths of Christ and the truths of the Porphets and Apostles So all People the Scriptures were given forth to be read believed and fulfilled and not to make a trade of and to keep people alwayes teaching of them that they may be always paying of them and to make merchandize neither of people nor them so it is the Spirit of Truth that must lead you into all Truth of them for they were given forth by holy men as they were moved by the holy Ghost and the same holy Ghost must ●ead you into all Truth of them and so they are profitable for reproof and for instruction and for correction in righteousness and unto them also that are contentious and disobey the Truth but obey unrighteousness shall be indignation and wrath tribulation and anguish upon the Souls of every man that doth evil upon the Iews first and also upon the Gentiles but glory honour and peace shall be to every man that doth good to the Iew first and also to the Gentile George Fox Ellis Hookes Postscript ANd this is to clear us from all those Pamphlets which are spread and scattered up and down among people that we should deny the God-head his Eternal Power or his Offering or Blood or that we should not he bought with a Price For is pleased the Father that in him the Fulness of the God-head should dwell bodily and the Father and the Son and the Spirit we do own And so let all them stop their Mouthes that say the Quakers Principles are hid till now for we have manifested our Principles both in our printed Books and would that all People knew our Inside as they did know our Outside and we do know and also others know it that we have an esteem of Christ's Sufferings and Death and Blood and the Scriptures of the Prophets and Apostles more then any other people for we do know that they were all Sufferers for speaking forth the Scriptures THE END
