Something formerly writ foreseen and foretold of what should come to pass much of it now being fulfilled and fulfilling is thus collected and presented to the view and consideration of the People called QUAKERS Let him that readeth understand but the uncircumcised in Heart and Ears cannot FRiends These things following were writ to Others but being clearly seen how deeply they now concern You they are thus directed that you may be instructed thereby that you may hear and fear and truly desire to have all Flesh abased and the Lord alone magnified sought after and joyn'd unto by every one that takes his Name into their Mouths what he hath determined must stand and the Word which he spake by his Prophet of old must be fulfilled viz. I will bring a Plague upon this People even the fruits of their own Imaginations Jer. 6.19 Did not some in days past cause the very Offering of the Lord to be abhorred and is it not so now yet who laments or lays it to heart where 's the Man that 's truly wise that loves Reproof hates Hypocrisie and desires to have all things appear just as they are delights not in the praise of Men neither can glory in multitudes but in Him only who justifies in secret that cannot feed upon or be satisfied with any thing that must come to an end tho it appear with ever so sair an outside From what is writ some good may be gain'd to the upright and honest mind tho it seem like putting to open shame If it might have been forborn it had not come forth having lain by several Months not daring to publish it till its appointed Season There seems to be little of Mans wisdom in it but a mind that loved Righteousness hated Deceit and esteemed of no People for their outward Profession Let the answer to it of every upright heart be Search me O Lord and try me shew me what is amiss in thy sight for whom have I in Heaven or Earth besides thee or what do I desire in comparison of thee M. P. Something formerly writ c. A Testimony of W. E. c. Pag. 96. MY rejoycing is to behold darkness and ruine upon all fleshly Gloryings and former Excellencies wherein so many vain boastings have appeared Now God is pouring Vials of Wrath on that which once was lovely p. 74. p. 77. All the Churches indeed shall fall but the Saints therein shall rise This the Lord would have them know this day p. 78. altho they will not that they are all in Babylon dead dry bones and divided sticks dead in their Forms divided in their Fellowships and defiled in both p. 82. Of old the People of God were in Babylon but now Babylon is in them especially in the Churches p. 69. Their Church Fellowships and Forms is that they glory in God spoils them and stains the pride of all their glory who because they would not wait for the Spirit to build them up as the Primitive Saints did the Spirit shall come to burn and consume them at last p. 35. God who will not abide for ever in any Form is at last weary with forbearing p. 133. The purest Forms of Religion this day are but the old Religion in a new dress p. 17. Never shall the Saints unite and come to one in love till wrath be poured forth on all their Forms p. 55. The Spirits presence was more waited on and the Saints far more spiritual before their Church-Fellowship more simple-hearted sincere self-denying and dying to the World p. 178. As the Mystery of Iniquity did first begin to work in the Primitive purest Churches So in the purest Churches the Mystery of Iniquity and Man of sin shall be last revealed p. 179. We have lookt upon Antichrist once at Rome but of late we have seen him in Reformed Churches God may shew them the Mystery of Iniquity among themselves very shortly They shall find such an Apostacy and falling away in themselves that they shall not need to go far to find the Man of sin p. 163. Our first scattering was by coming into gathered Churches by looking on Forms we lost the Spirit and Power of Godliness here we are scattered again less Godliness appearing then was in us before Well! God will yet gather us again up to Himself which appearing in us with power and glory will manifest to the World who our Pastor is even he who keeps us as a Shepherd doth his flock p. 269. The Apostate-Church which seems to be the Spouse of Christ and one flesh with God in her her Head and Husband but joyning with Man and with Forms invented by Man cleaving to the Traditions and Teachings of Man to the Wisdom and Power of Man the Spouse becomes an Harlot p. 245. Your Church-Fellowship is at an end with God tho some men see somewhat in it yet 't is but a dead Carcass they look upon but the Spirit Life and Power from on high appears not at all to me therein nor to many p. 91. Truly in all that I have said I do not condemn the generation of the Righteous but the generation of Vipers who under Forms of Religion eat up their Mothers bowels even the power of Righteousness p. 154. God will gather a remnant out of the Churches tho most of them perish with their Pastors God I say will bring them again to their folds to their spiritual communion with the Father and the Son and they shall be fruitful and increase in all the fruits of the Spirit p. 199. The Promise of the Father and Power from on high or Baptism of the Spirit being only that which constituted a Gospel-Church and made Ministers of the Gospel to go forth without this is not only to deceive Men but to deny God to crucifie Christ to stifle the Spirit and to strangle the Babe even the new-born Glory beginning to rise in the Saints of the most High p. 262. It is an usual Artifice of Satan in all Ages to set up the Letter of a thing against the Truth and Power of it yea no opposition so fierce as that which is manag'd by the Man of Form against the true spiritual worshipper p. 129. The People of God so call'd were as Children they are now Men they were simple now subtile they were self-denying now scrape up all to themselves they were dying to the world now living wholly to the world and worldly honours they were content to be poor now all must be rich p. 125. I will not now speak of their Oppression Pride Cruelty Covetousness their cunning designs and cover'd desires of preferment profit pleasure their eartlhy-mindedness all the day long p. 62. This they will not see but God does and men shall when he shall turn their inside out their hidden Hypocrisie shall appear to all for they shall openly practise Hypocrisie as men do
