A Testimony of the appearance of God in the spirit of Power and the true Light making manifest the deceipts of the Serpent with some Reasons why Margaret Hambleton doth deny the Presbyterians of Scotland they being found in the steps of the False Prophets THe living God who is the searcher of all hearts Jer. 17.10 who dwels in Light who is pure for ever and loves truth and equity and cannot behold but hates iniquity Dent. 32.6 Psal 11.7 Rom. 14.17 Malicah 3.6 Heb. 1.1 2. whose Kingdom stands in Righteousnesse who is the same to day and doth not alter nor change He the same living and true God who at sundry times in divers manners in times past speak to the Fathers by his servants the Prophets and afterwards did speak by his Son is now appearing according to his Promise Joel 2.28 29. in the power of his Spirit manifesting his power in destroying sin and wickedness 1 John 3.8 Tir. 2.14 and gathering unto himself a Holy and a peculiar people in whom and by whom he will be glorified Lay 54.13 Ezek. 34.10 c. and he will teach his people himself freely by his Spirit and they shall no more be made a prey upon by the false Shepherds nor spend their money for that which is not bread Isay 55.1 2. neither their labour for that which doth not satisfie But freely shall they drink at the living Fountain where true refreshment and satisfaction is to the hungry thirsting souls The same truth 1 John 1.1 the same power and word of Life as ever was is manifested and made known in the hearts of the Lords Children and Servants which hath separated them from ungodliness John 4.23 24. Tit. 2.11 12. and worldly lusts and redeemed them from the bondage and servitude of sin no more to serve and follow wicked lusts Luke 1.74 75. and worldly delights and vain sports and pleasures but in truth and uprightness of heart and mind to serve the living God in the new life of Righteousness Heb. 4.12 1 Cor. 3.16 17 and to worship him in spirit and in truth in his holy Temple not made with mens hands Acts 13.24 And this work and power of God is strange to the world and wonderful as ever the working of God were and many mouthes are opened wide to speak evil of the way of God and of his truth and of his faithful servants who live in the life of truth and the enemy of mans Soul John 8.44 the old serpent who was a lyar and a deceiver even from the beginning He is full of wrath and is stirring up his instruments in whom he rules to make war against the lamb and his followers that he may uphold his kingdom of sin and unrighteousnesse and keep people under his dominion and power of darknesse to act sin and serve him by obeying wickednesse and ungodly lusts and therefore he uses all meanes to keep them in his work and speaks evill of the work of God and his faith full servants crying out of error heresy and delusion and casting out their names as evill but this is no new nor strang thing to those who are acquainted with the workings of God and who know the wiles and subtilty of the serpent who in all ages hath opposed the appearance of God Gal. 4.29 and persecuted his life and power manifested in his righteous Servants as the Scriptures make mention The Prophets of God in the day of their Prophesy were hated persecuted by these professing people Mat. 23.29 30. c. who had the form of Moses words and many of them were killed Christ Jesus the Son of God whom Moses wrote of and the Prophets prophesied of in his dayes were hated and persecuted John 10.31 33. John 7.48 49. John 19.49 under the name of a blasphemer and this by a strict professing people and chief priests and rulers these and such as made a fair shew in words were found in rage and enmity and persecuted and crucified Christ the life Likewise the Apostles Acts 7.57 and true Ministers of the Gospel in the dayes of their Ministration they were hated and persecuted under the name of deceivers Acts 8.3 Acts 24.5 pestilent fellowes and movers of Sedition and such like And all along even to this day and age the true witnesses of God have suffered persecution 2 Tim. 3.12 yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution for saith Christ if ye were of the world John 15.19 20. the world would love his own but because ye are not of this world but I have chosen you out of the world therefore the world hateth you The servant is not greater then the Lord if they have persecuted me they will also persecute you John 16.2 and they shall put you out of the Synagogue ye the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth God service And ye shall be hated of all men for my names sake Mat. 24.9 These Scriptures are fulfilled in these dayes by this sinful generation of Teachers and people who have long bin professors of truth in words Tit. 1.16 but have denyed truth by their wicked lives and deceitful works and now are made manifest by the true Light even by their fruits Mat. 7.20 and wicked rage and envy against the innocent casting out their names as evill and incensing the people against the Lords Lambs as it was of late manifestted by two parish Masters in the west of Scotland to wit one called Lewes Simorell and one Hugh Archbull who excomumnicated as they say one whose eyes the Lord hath opened to see their deceits Acts 20.13 and hath turned her face towards Sion to walk in the light whose name according to the flesh is Margaret Hambleton Whom the said two parish Masters did so incense their hearers against as that generation of murdering Priest did formerly against the Lord Jesus and his disciples as though she was not fit to live amongst them but nothing of fact or evil done was proved against her But their reasons are as I understand 1.
