Ledgard of Newcastle or any of those he ranks with himself under the notion of Anti-Quakers Printed in the year as the world accounts 1654. To the Reader THere is a Paper for the Press given forth by George Fox wherein all may see That Forms of Religion Ordinances as they are called and observations where into people are led by the searchings of Wisdom and the light of their Reasons and Vnderstandings from the Letter of the Scripture are nothing but the worship of the first Nature the Sacrifice of Caine which God doth not accept And that the worship of God in spirit is not known to such neither indeed can be for to that eye it is hid and the Revelation of Jesus Christ and of the deep things of God by the spirit is a Mystery to them not understood which is intended if the Lord please to be made publick as soon as this is finished P A. To all who love the Lord Jesus Christ Mercy and Peace be multiplyed unto you WHo have been scattered abroad in the cloudy dark day from mountaine to mountaine and worshipping that which they know not following the imaginations of others which they spake from the divination of their own braine and not from the mouth of the Lord shepherds that fed themselves and cloathed themselves with the wool and sought after the Fleece and so made a prey upon us and do upon the people but God as he promised saith he I will gather my sheep from your mouthes and seek them which have been scattered in the cloudy dark day hath gathered us an doth feed us upon the mountaine in a good pasture and so we witness the Promise of the Lord fulfilled and as the Lord said I will seek that which was lost and bring again that which was driven away who hath one shepherd Jesus Christ herein do we witness the Lord fulfilling the Scriptures in us and I witness the lost sheep is found and the Lord hath brought back again that which was driven away and here do we deny all the Teachers of the world who speak a divination of their own brain and not from the mouth of the Lord for who spoke from the mouth of the Lord denyed them then so do we by the same word and we deny all them that seek for gain from their Quarters which are greedy dumb doggs as the Scripture saith and all those who take the peoples money and sell the Letter which was spoken forth freely For Isaiah that spake from the mouth of the Lord he denyed such things and bid all come freely without money and without price to hear the voice of the Lord that their souls might live and to make with them an everlasting Covenant even the sure mercies of David and this Covenant I do witness therefore I deny with the same word wherewith they spake the same things the Scripture denyeth and all those that bear rule by their means and hirelings which Preach for hire and Prophesie for money For Jeremy who had the eternal words denyes such things Micha denies such things and Jesus Christ who was the Word said The hireling would fly because he is an hireling and this word the Lord hath made manifest which gathers our hearts together up to God and opens to us the Scriptures whereby we see the deceits of the Priests of the world now of the same generation and nature and acting those things there is no Scripture for which the holy men of God did not practice And for taking Tythes in the old time Levi which was to receive Tythes the strangers the fatherless and widows were to come and eat and be filled within his gate but this was according to the Law and here you see the Priests of the world do not act according to the Law in which were Types and Figures of Christ and when Christ was come those he sent forth were not to have a bagg nor a stick to defend them nor two coats nor brass nor silver but freely ye have received freely give The workman is worthy of his meat so they neither walk according to the Law nor the Gospel therefore we deny them and the Ministers of Jesus Christ which went into the world they had no portion of the world but whipping stocking prisoning But them that were gathered out of the world in the eternall word which met together and were of one heart one minde one soule to such they say If we minister unto you spirituall things is it a great thing if you minister to us carnall things But this was spoken to them upon whom the end of the world was come and this I do witness what the Scripture doth say God commanded an outward Temple Circumcision the Sabbath given as Figures and Types and Shadows of Jesus Christ so when Jesus Christ the substance was come and when he was crucified and risen who believed in him Preached his Resurrection and so went up and down in the Synagogues and into the Temple Reasoning and Disputing with them that held them up to bring them out of the Figure up to Jesus Christ who was the substance so all which were gathered together in the substance met together and then the Church was in God and they denyed the outward Temple which God commanded being made the Temples of God and denied Circumcision outwardly being circumcised with the Spirit and denyed the Jewish Sabbath outwardly and observing daies For he that believes is entred into his rest
outward Synagoguess as Moses which was a type of Christ which was a servant ann faithful in his house the deceit after him got into his place and was called of men masters which sat in his seat which pretended justice and did not and that was the time before Christ was sacrificed up he came to fulfil the Law and not to break it but he cryed Woe unto them that were called of men Masters and had the cheifest place in the assemblies and laid heavy burthens upon the people and paint themselves with the Prophets words But when Jesus Christ was sacrificed and risen his Ministers Preached his Resurrection they did not hold up the Types and Figures then but held forth the substance Jesus Christ and all who were gathered together in the substance were of one heart one mind one soul and met together and exhorted one another and builded up one another in the most holy Faith and all building is in that which is holy and this Faith I witness which is but one and all are one that are in it if ten thousand which purifies the heart stands in God glory and honor to the highest and whom Jesus Christ made Ministers he made them not Masters but said Be ye not called Masters neither call any man upon earth Master for ye have one Masters even Jesus Christ But the Teachers of the world who in words profess the Lord Jesus Christ are called of men Masters and lay heavy burthens upon the people goe in long Robes having the cheifest place in the Assemblies standing praying in the Synagogues and them that did so Christ Jesus said Their prayers were Heathenish which shews they were never taught of him for they abide not in his Doctrine and he that abides not in the truth is of the Devil and here they shew themselves neither to follow Jesus Christ the example nor the Apostles as an example but take the Scriptures to trade withall And all those which Jesus Christ the Prophets and Apostles do deny we deny When the Apostles spake to the Saints he bade them Take heed to the light that shined in a dark place till the day dawned and the day-star arose in their hearts and as the light appeared so they exhorted one another for there were false Prophets and false Teachers among the people which with feigned words and covetousness made marchandize of them who had forsaken the right way following the waies of Balaam going in the way of Caine whose Sacrifi●e God did not accept Now all people that love the Lord Jesus Christ you may see all the Teachers of the world there going after the waies of Balaam for then that Doctrine crept in which is scattered over the world and the Apostles saw certaine creeping into house leading silly Women Captive laden with sin and divers lusts which were ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth which he describes they were lovers of their owne selves covetous proud heady high-minded selfe-willed incontinent truce-breakers false accusers fierce despisers of those that are good lovers of pleasures more then lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so do these men of corrupt minds reprobates concerning the Faith but they shall proceed no further their folly shall appeare to all men Now the Apostle bids from such turn away though once he said some Preach Christ of envy some of strife and contention some of good will though their intention was but to adde affliction to his bonds yet he rejoyced in it And that was a time when few did believe that that was the Christ so that his name was spread abroad he did not matter what they were but when his name was spread abroad and many got the Forme and had not the Power such were Antichrists and were denyed by them who had the power and so they are now And all people consider you have been long hearers and learners if you be yet come to the first Principle of Religion to that which turns the mind to God All whose faith doth not purifie they are reprobates concerning the Faith So aske any Priest or people whether they shall overcome the body of sin as long as they are upon the Earth they will say No Therefore their seeming Faith I deny for Faith purifies the heart and gives the Victory over the World and this I owne and you have put off the body of sin by the Circumcision made without hands and whilst we were servants of sin we were free from righteousness but God be thanked who hath made us free from sin to serve God in righteousness in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the Letter And whereas we are accused for not owning Magistracy justice we own for conscience fake for that which is in the conscience loves equity and righteousness and justice and leads out of all evil and uncleanness For let every soule be subject to the higher power for all power is of God and the powers of God our soules are subject unto for he that resisteth that resisteth the Ordinance of God but who lives in drunkenness in pride in covetousness murder lust and uncleanness their soules are not subject to the higher power but resist it and that nature we do deny and justifie that which cuts it down we own honor and sut up and honour all men in the Lord but as for respecting persons we deny for he that respects persons commits sin and is a transgressor of the Law For to respect a proud man because he hath a Gold Ring on his finger and fine Apparell such respects we deny for the Scriptures deny the same and to set up a great man which hath abundance of Earth joyning field to field and land to land and respect such above the poore this is an evil eye for God cryes wo unto such for God hath made all of one mould and one blood to dwell upon the face of the Earth and he is no respecter of persons and who are in the Faith of the Lord Jesus Christ it is without respect of Persons for it is but one and makes all one one seed one soule one heart one minde in one God Father of all over all blessed for ever and this we do witness praised be the Lord to be fulfilled which all the holy men of God did witness forth a good conscience and therefore we have a cloud of witnesses which are recorded in the Scriptures And whereas we are accused for our uncivill speeches which the world calls uncivill and railing as because we thou people and say thou to the particular and you to a number The Scriptures witness that all the holy men of God evermore practised the same thoued one and yeaed many thoued Kings thoued God thoued Christ
and thou O Lord of Heaven and Earth and therefore who art thou O proud Flesh that thou art exalted Dost not thou thou God and thou Christ in thy Prayers And wouldst thou be yeed here shews the sonne of perdition himselfe and is exalted above all that is called God in thee and the Language of God is not kown with thee And as for the customes and fashions of the world bowing and making obeysance with cap and knee which man and women have done one to another which lived without the feare of the Lord we deny but we honour all men in the Lord with our soule and with our hearts and who look for these things outwardly there is a fleshly principle for these things may be done and are practized and the heart full of envy therefore all these fashions we deny And touching good-Even an good-Morrow which are customes of the world spoken without feare of the Lord we do deny but good to all men we wish and the good day that they may be brought into it and that they may see the happy day but the fashion and customes which the fleshly and heathenish nature holds up and when it 's crossed in its wayes and customes rageth and is mad we deny and that nature which holds all these things we deny For the God of Power Light and Glory hath raysed up a light in his people and gathered their hearts together to himselfe and hath discovered unto them the vanity of all things wherein they have lived and shewed them his way and truth where they should walke and gloryfie him and serve him in holiness and newness of life and with eternall food and bread of life doth he feed us whereby we become wonders to the world as he hath raised his seed to his praise and glory and is adding dayly to his Church and the strong man bowes himselfe and the keepers of the house tremble and the powers of the earth shake and the glory of the Lord is rising and is risen which terribly shakes the earth that the Idols of Gold and Silver are cast away and God alone loved who is Lord of Heaven and Earth and the works of the Lord are strange and wonderous as ever was as the Scriptures witness When Daniel heard the Voyce he fell downe and trembled and his strength and breath was gone And Paul when he heard the voyce he fell down and trembled And Habakkuk when he heard the voyce his lips quivered his belly shooke rottenness entered into his bones that he might rest in the day of trouble And David when he heard the voyce of God in the holy Temple and his Prayers came before him the Earth shooke and David his flesh trembled And work out your salvation with fear and trembling Now these workings are strange to them where the strong man keeps the house and who are in the Earth but who are rising up out of the Earth witness the power of the Earth to be shaken and who are raised up out of the Earth witness these things and have a cloud of witnesses to witness them passing through the same doore to the same rest and so we witness the Scriptures and the power of them and them to be fulfilled and fulfilling praises praises be unto the Lord God Almighty for ever We witness the happy day of the Lord is come the good and happy day and glad tidings to soules the day of Christ praises praises be unto him for ever All yee Children of the Lord praise the Lord for ever sing praises unto the Lord for evermore This is the day of salvation and the everlasting Gospel glad tidings is come into soules free pardon of sin by Jesus Christ who is come to take away sin and to destroy the works of the Devil this do we witness the Scriptures fulfilled by God alone therefore deny all the Ministers of the letter G F. CAnst thou prove in all the Scripture that God commanded any of his to salute any by the way or to take his name in vaine or to use any other heathenish customes but God Christ the Prophets and Apostles commands The contrary God saith Thou shalt not take my name in vain nor bow to any creature Christ saith Salute no man by the way The Prophet saith Salute no man by the way if any salute you answer him not again And the Apostle saith Bid Godspeed to none but such as abide in the Doctrine of Christ and have both the Father and the Son for he that bids him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds God saith Thou shalt not do after the manner of the heathen And Christ saith Every idle word shall be accounted for at the day of judgement and by thy words thou shalt be condemned Now thou that art offended at any for obeying the commands of God Christ the Prophets and Apostles shewst thy selfe to be no Christian but a Heathen and wilt neither obey the commands of God thy selfe nor suffer them that would but strives to uphold such costomes as God never commanded but are set up by the World and used without the feare of God Now how art thou exalted thou man of sin who wilt both dishonour God thy selfe and would compel thy brother also to act contrary to his Conscience What place would thou leave for the Throne of Christ I. N. Truth cleared from Scandalls HAving heard of divers untruths cast upon me by some of the Priests in their high places though I stand onely to the Lord in the respect of my self yet least any that love the truth should be led on to speake evil of the things they know not I shall lay open the truth as it is in me revealed touching those things whereof I have bin falsely accused 1. Concerning Jesus Christ who is the eternall Word of God by whom all things were made and are upholden which was before all time but manifested in time for the recovery of lost man which Word became Flesh and dwelt amongst the Saints who is the same yesterday and to day and for ever who did and doth dwell in the Saints who suffered and rose agine and ascended into Heaven and is set at the right hand of God to whom all power is given in Heaven and in Earth who filleth all places is the light of the World but known to none but those who receive and follow him and those he leads up to God out of all the wayes works and worships of the world by his pure light in them whereby he reveales the man of sin and by his power casts him out and so prepares the bodies of the Saints a fit Temple for the pure God to dwell in with whom dwells no uncleane thing and thus he reconciles God and man and the Image of God which in
