B08596 A declaration to all the world of our faith, and what we believe who are called Quakers. And this is written, that all people upon Earth may know by whom, and how we are saved, and hopes for eternal life; and what we believe concerning God, Christ and the spirit, and of the things that are eternal, appertaining to all man-kind to know and believe. Also what ministers and magistrates we own, and what, and whom we deny. Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.; Parker, Alexander, 1628-1689. 1660 (1660) Wing B5997A; ESTC R173333 8,180 16

that_o every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v light_v by_o he_o that_o every_o man_n may_v believe_v and_o be_v save_v and_o we_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v give_v into_o the_o world_n

for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n but_o he_o alone_o by_o which_o salvation_n be_v and_o we_o believe_v all_o that_o receive_v he_o and_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v

be_v crucify_a by_o his_o enemy_n and_o that_o he_o be_v bury_v and_o rise_v again_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o we_o believe_v he_o be_v now_o ascend_v on_o high_a and_o exalt_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n for_o evermore_o and_o that_o he_o be_v glorify_v with_o the_o same_o glory_n that_o he_o have_v before_o the_o world_n be_v and_o that_o even_o the_o same_o that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n be_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n and_o the_o same_o that_o descend_v be_v he_o that_o ascend_v and_o we_o believe_v even_o he_o that_o be_v dead_a be_v alive_a and_o life_n for_o evermore_o and_o that_o he_o come_v and_o shall_v come_v again_o to_o judge_v the_o whole_a world_n with_o righteousness_n and_o all_o people_n with_o equity_n and_o shall_v give_v

receive_v life_n and_o he_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a everlasting_a condemnation_n and_o we_o believe_v he_o be_v to_o be_v wait_v for_o in_o spirit_n to_o be_v know_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o he_o be_v before_o the_o world_n be_v and_o that_o be_v the_o knowledge_n unto_o eternal_a life_n which_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o do_v receive_v and_o he_o subdue_v death_n and_o destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o it_o and_o restore_v from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o quicken_v by_o his_o spirit_n all_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v he_o and_o we_o believe_v such_o he_o

and_o be_v save_v by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v give_v of_o the_o father_n to_o call_v the_o worst_a of_o man_n to_o repentance_n and_o the_o most_o ungodly_a of_o sinner_n be_v convince_v by_o he_o of_o their_o ungodly_a deed_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o be_v convert_v and_o save_v and_o we_o believe_v herein_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n manifest_v to_o all_o mankind_n and_o that_o none_o be_v shut_v out_o by_o he_o before_o they_o be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n but_o unto_o all_o man_n be_v a_o visitation_n give_v and_o they_o that_o do_v perish_v it_o be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o christ_n and_o destruction_n be_v of_o a_o man_n self_n but_o salvation_n be_v of_o god_n through_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n who_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o renew_v into_o his_o own_o image_n that_o they_o may_v become_v heir_n with_o he_o and_o we_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o crown_n of_o eternal_a glory_n and_o a_o inheritance_n of_o eternal_a life_n to_o be_v enjoy_v for_o evermore_o by_o all_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o everlasting_a misery_n and_o destruction_n to_o be_v possess_v by_o all_o that_o believe_v not_o but_o continue_v in_o the_o state_n of_o reprobation_n and_o be_v not_o change_v from_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n but_o walk_v after_o the_o way_n of_o their_o own_o

and_o abide_v in_o the_o light_n which_o christ_n jesus_n have_v lighten_v the_o world_n withal_o and_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o saint_n upon_o earth_n may_v receive_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o may_v be_v perfect_o free_v from_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o in_o christ_n may_v be_v perfect_v and_o without_o sin_n and_o may_v have_v victory_n over_o all_o temptation_n

and_o such_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o their_o sin_n be_v blot_v out_o and_o remember_v no_o more_o for_o they_o

or_o that_o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v receive_v by_o natural_a learning_n or_o education_n and_o we_o believe_v such_o as_o preach_v for_o hire_n and_o have_v hire_n for_o preach_v be_v not_o the_o
