own his light and take heed to that to be guided by it until the day dawn and the day-star arise in their hearts for you have an unction which is holy and you need not that any man teach you but as the anoynting teacheth but first you must come to the light to take heed to that to be guided by that till the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts and then you will come to know the anoynting which teacheth all things which is truth and no lye But people take heed of the worlds words which they think is repentance when they have done evill as lying or swearing or being drunk or stolne or other sin whatsoever they will say when some thing within them condemns them for it God forgive me but O! that will not serve people when a man or woman hath done wrong and sinned against God and in the same nature that they committed the offence against God say God forgive me for that 's a taking Gods name in vain for God hears not sinners until they come to that of God in them that shews sin and evil to be guided by that that so they may be led out of sin for all their praying and reading and hearing in the first nature is abomination to God he hears not that it is but Cains Sacrifice which God did not accept but Abells the righteous God did accept So it is the second birth the Righteous that God hears that which is immortal of himself that which he hath given to every man to profit withal a measure of himself which is Gods gift to man to bring man again to God from whence he is fallen In Adams State the natural man knows not the things of God they are spiritually discerned so people it is not saying when you have done evil God forgive me in that nature wherein you have committed the offence but if you hope for mercy and forgivenesse of your sins as you will say by Jesus Christ you must come to that of God in you that shews you sin and evil and tells you you should not have done so now if you turne to that which shewes you sin and evill in your selves to take heed to it to be guided by it it will lead you out of sin in a contrary way to the world and the vanities thereof and from the hireling Shepherds and Teachers of the world for he that is is a friend to the world is in the enmity against God and that 's out of the truth for God is Truth and with him is no variableness nor turning at all for he waits to be gracious to all them who desires to turn from the evil of their doings that so they may find mercy with him whose mercy is to be had in remembrance al the day long so he that hath an ear let him hear And so forsake his sin and own the light of Christ Jesus which you be enlightned withal it will bring you if you take heed to it to be guided by it from the hirelings the greedy dum dogs that seeks for their gain from their quarters so if you come to the light of Christ in you to be guided by that you will come to know the teachings of God in Spirit for the Children of God are taught of God and they are established in righteousness and they are far from oppression the just is at liberty the witnesse of God within that which testifies against sin So all people come to the light of Christ in you that so you may come out of bondage for the bond-womans son must not be heir with the son of the free woman bondman must be cast out that which keeps the seed in bondage Ismael-like which is wild and heady and angry and rash and froward that genders unto-strife and every evill work and workers of iniquity must be destroyed so to that which is pure of God in you turn your minds and wait in that that so you may come to know Gods worship which is in Spirit and in Truth for now is he seeking such worshipers and many are come to know his worship but this worship is not at a house made with hands as Steven was stoned to death for bearing wittnesse against temples made with hands Acts the 7th chap. and the 48. verse but the worship of God is within it s known there and he is worshiped within in the measure of his own spirit So all you that hunger and thirst after right cousnesse come to the Light that so you may come to know and worship God in Spirit and in Truth that you may come to know the Law written in your hearts and Spirit in your inward parts to obey the Lord God of Heaven and Earth there to worship him That so you may come to know the teaching of the Lord by his Spirit as the children of the Lord do That so you may come to know the Scriptures fulfilled in you as they did who spoke them forth That so you may say the Scriptures is yours indeed and Truth And when you are come to know these things in your selves you will know Christ to be a Saviour to you saving you from sin For this know assuredly that if you come not to know Christ within you a Saviour to save you from sin then you are reprobates indeed from the Faith which is in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour to whom be Glory and Honor and Prayse for ever and ever Amen To all you Rulers and Magistrates and Priests in New-England most of all of the Town of Boston in New-England who have put the servants of the Living God to death Whereas you say in your Law there is a cursed Sect of Hereticks risen up in the World which are commonly called Quakers who take upon them to be immediately sent of God and infallibly assisted by the Spirit to speak and write Blaspemous Opinions despising Government and the Order of God in Church and Common-wealth speaking evil of Dignities reproaching and reviling Magistrates and Ministers seeking to turn the People from the Faith and Gain Proselites to their pernitious wayes THE People in scorn and derision called Quakers by you are they who truly fear the Lord God of Heaven and who in obedience to his Command by his Spirit have been moved of him to come amongst you to declare the Word of Truth as it is manifest in Jesus whom you have evil entreated you have whipped many and cut of the ears of some as men use to mark their baests you have burnt some as men use to do their Oxen in the Horns that they might know them from others and you have banished some and you have cast many into Prison without the breach of any Just Law even them that were your Inhabitants and also them that have come from far to live amongst you and you have unchristian-like put some to death having no just cause against any of them but that you have hatched mischief

out of Hell and in your wills have made a Law to punish the innocent by whom the Lord sends amongst you to warn you to turn from the evil of your doings and thus you have requited the Lord evil for all his good to you ward and you do despite against the Spirit of Grace for the People called Hereticks and cursed Quakers by you who take upon them as you say to be immediately sent of God and infallibly assisted by the Spirit this we own and witness to be true in our measures to be immediately sent of God and to be guided by his Spirit that 's of God but to write or speak blasphemous opinions that we do deny that hath not been proved against us yet by any of you or your hireling Priests for they who are guided by the Spirit of God they neither speak nor write blaspemous opinions for the Spirit of God is not a spirit of blaspemy as you may think or judge it to be who make a mock at an immediate Call and you are the Hereticks who are gone from that of God in you who are erred from the Spirit as Balaam was who loved the wages of unrighteousness as you Teachers do and the People by you in scorn called Quakers are not cursed but blessed of the Lord who came amongst you to bear witness for the truth as it is in Jesus for although you have used incliantment as Balaak and Balaam did together to curse Jacob and defie Israel yet your Inchantments and Laws which you have hatched out of Hell shall be broken and you both and the people in scorn by you called cursed Quakers shall inhabit amongst you and you shall be broken to pieces the Lord hath said it and he will shortly bring it to pass you cannot long strive against God and prosper for he is risen against you already and though your trumpets sound aloud amongst you who delight to shed innocent blood yet the Trumpet of the Lord sound louder in his ears which cryes aloud for vengeance against you who have put his servant to death your condemnation is coming on apace you are all to be condemned with the light that comes from Jesus Christ the Son of God who lighteth every man that comes into the World And whereas you say We despise Government and Order in Church Commonwealth speaking evil of Dignities reproach Magistrates and Ministers that 's false for we own Government and Ministers who fear the Lord hates covetousness and are guided by the Spirit of the Lord but if any Magistrates makes Laws contrary to truth as you have done to put the innocent to death we utterly deny both the Laws and Magistrates therein but Magistrates who are a terrour to evil-doers and a praise to them that do well we own but such Magistrates are not you who shed innocent blood and we own such Ministers as are called of God Who are sent out to preach the Gospel freely without money or without price but such Ministers are not your Hirelings who can never have enough who would limit the Spirit of God in others who would have none to speak but themselves that so they might keep people still in ignorance as they have done ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth but you Magistrates and Ministers so called are all made manifest as Corah Dathan and Abiram was who rebelled against Moses who said All the Congregation were Holy but your end will be like theirs for your Cup is almost full of which you must drink doubtless it shall be filled to you your reward you shall have for God will be honoured by you but it will be your destruction you generation of vipers of serpents who gnash your teeth for torment already for your torment is begun already your sorrow shall never cease nor flye away your destruction draws near you cannot escape the hand of the Almighty he rises against you he will render vengeance in flames of f●●●●●on you wo be unto you who had no pitty good it had been for you if you had not been born on that a Mil-stone had been hanged about your neck and you cast into the Sea rather than you should have made a wicked Law and so put the innocent to death as you have done whose innocent blood cryes aloud for vengeance against you inhabitants of this Town of Boston in New-England who have shed innocent blood Gods Judgments draws near all you who had a hand in shedding innocent blood the blood of the innocent is upon you wo will be to you for evermore except you repent you are grown fat and strong and you spurn with the heel against God you are worse than Pharaoh was who said Who was the Lord that he should obey him to let Israel go wo will be to you for ever who will not let the Lords people worship him in his own way but they must be cast into Prison and whipt and banished and their ears cut and burnt and put to death because they come to bear witness to the truth against your Idolatrous worship and witness the true worship who worship him in Spirit and in Truth And now is he seeking such worshippers but you have rejected his messengers and slighted the day of your visitation and put his servants to death and evil intreated many whom he hath sent amongst you to bear witness to his truth as it is manifest in Jesus but sorrow shall accompany you where ever you go vengeance from the Lord and punishment as came upon Cain shall come upon you cursed shall you be for evermore in sorrow shall you lye down and so shall you rise up and in torment shall you be where ever ye go your God whom you serve is not able to deliver you out my hand saith the Lord your prayers and praises are accursed of God your sacrifices is Cain-like God will never hear you your bud shall rot as the drunkard for you are drunk with the Saints words and you shall have blood to drink who have shed innocent blood and this is to you who have put the servants of the Living God to Death TO you the Inhabitants of Boston in New-England who have not had a hand in putting the innocent to death if ye will return return unto me saith the Lord or else I will visit your sin upon you with the rest for when I begin I will also make an end therefore if ye will return unto me saith the Lord I will yet have mercy upon your unrighteousness if you will break off your sins by true repentance and own the light of Christ Jesus which you be enlightned withal which shews you your transgressions which lets you see when you have done any manner of thing that is evil which reproves you in secret when no eye sees you for whatsoever is done in secret shall be made manifest by the light for the day is dawning and the sun-rising is appearing amongst you and
