A35122	A defence of the true church called Quakers (come and coming out of the wilderness, Babylon, and the dark night of the apostacy of Antichrist into their own land, which is Sion the mountain of holiness, there to worship the Lord in spirit and truth) against the several sects and sorts of people, called Independants, Separatists or Brownists, Baptists, Fift-Monarchy-Men ...

the true light must needs be in every one for the life is the light of men and so whatever good thing is wrought in mans heart doth not come from without him or from far but from the word within the mouth and heart and so ariseth from within himself for saith wisdom a good man shall be satisfied from himself and so did Christ promise Whosoever saith he drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst but it shall be a Well of waters springing up in him to Eternal Life and so did Isaiah Prophesie As the Earth bringeth forth her bud and as the Garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the Nations Oh! the sweet springings and buddings of the pure Life of God in mans heart after a night and winter of sorrow and darkness and silent waiting upon that of God in him surely by this means and no other shall Righteousness towards man and praise and glory to the Lord God who is worthy and alone worthy spring up in the sight of others And oh ye Separatists so called how can it be expected that ye should Minister to each other in your Assemblies by the living Power of the Spirit of truth which is the Holy Annointing and the onely Exerciser of the Saints in all their administrations any more than others do but that ye should be as dead dry and formal as they in such exercises when as ye will not turn to the light which is the true Teacher and in the humility and penitency of your spirits wait in silence for the Comforters presence are ye not now comprehended and discerned by those who walk in the light as he is in the light to be dry dead and unsavoury and hating reproof and your Reprover who now calls for more living fruit in this his day of light and truth than in the times of more ignorance And are ye not proud and covetous and set down at ease in the wayes and customs of men as respecting persons c. as if there were no more cross to be taken up when the greatest is yet behind For the light shining in your dark hearts as it ariseth will cross your own wills and wisdom exceedingly and reject your vain confidence of your being the onely true Church and so ye will appear naked and bare as those that have been but in a dream that ye were come out of Babylon when as the Whore and Beasts mark is discerned in your foreheads other of her trumpery among you Wherefore I exhort you in Gods love and fear to come unto the light within which brings out of death and deadness and all transgression and out of all the wayes of confusion and that abominable practise of Infant Baptism which is a chief ground thereof and be not deceived God is not mocked for such as ye sow ye shall reap and if ye will still sow to the flesh as ye have a long time done ye shall reap cor●uption vanity and sorrow but if ye will sow to the Spirit and lay your ground work there ye shall from thence certainly reap life Everlasting But what hath he against us and our Profession may the B●ptists say who have not onely renounced ou● Infant Baptisme as a gross deceit but have practised in direct oppo●ition thereto by being dipped or baptized in water and so profess Faith and Baptism as the Apostles Saints did before the Apostacy The Spirit of the Lord hath enough against your Faith for some of you are for Free Will which ye say is a power placed in you whereby ye are able to stand or fall to your own Master of your own accord by taking heed to what the Scriptures outwardly declare some part whereof you call the Gospel and own no other so that one of ye once declared He knew no other Spirit now than the Scriptures as if the Spirit that moved the holy men of God to speak forth the Scriptures when it had so moved them had done its work and so quite forsaken the Earth when as the greatest glory of the Church and purest life of the Saints is to be brought forth in these last times as the Prophesies of the Scriptures do plentifully fore-shew which cannot be brought to pass but by the Spirit of the living God which Spirit or Life is but one in all and in all ages which is a spirit of Judgment and burning whose pure Judgements and Holy burnings are felt in this day of the Lords winnowing by those who every one in their own measure and order do silently sincerely and humbly wait for the same for although we say that every ones condemnation is just for loving his evil deeds and hating the light that shines in his heart yet no man is able in his own will distinct from this light to adde one cubit unto his stature that is to make one step in saving knowledge or obedience but is to believe in the light and wait therein so tarrying the Lords leasure till he arise in him up to the prey leading captivity c●ptive and bri●ging forth Judgement unto victory and if this seems a strange or foolish Language unto you know that it is because ye are in your own wills in distinction from the light which is Gods faithful witness within you which faithful witness is Christ the Power of God unto Salvation unto every one that believeth this is the Gospel or glad tidings indeed that man is not left to himself to work out his own Salvation but that the God of all grace hath left in him a seed which as a confirmation thereof was plentifully manifested in his Son made of a woman in due time in which he believing that it should break the serpents head and do all his works in him and for him so that ye Free-willers so called stumbling at this stumbling-stone and setting up the Scriptures which are but a wholsom Declaration of this seed and corner-stone in its place I do Declare against you and all such that ye are Idolaters and so out of the true Faith of Gods Elect and therefore not the true Church of Christ but the synagogue of Satan Wherefore I exhort you to come out of your own wills and carnal wisdom which begets you in your Congregations into many vain janglings rents and disputings and to wait in silence upon the Reprover in you for sin which alone is able to give you victory over sin that your mouths may be for ever stopped for pleading against the true light which is the true Prophet that ye perish not in the gain-saying of Kore who also stood up against the Lords Prophet Others deny indeed mans power will and ability to do good and so deny you as out of the Faith but how since they are become such disputers against and denyers of the true light that lightneth every man they should

themselves be in the true Faith or find power and ability to bring forth any good and acceptable fruit unto God I cannot behold for which way should ye feel his living Power to enable you thereunto or which way should the Spirit of the Lord come Do you look for him by way of local motion and so to enter from without to within you can such a thought be without setting the phansie on work and so making an Image of the Godhead within your selves but if ye will not be accounted Idolaters then must you needs come to the light within which must reveal unto you the Image of the Invisible God in the still silence and that which can reveal the Fathers Glory must most certainly discover sin and evil which vails the same while undiscovered and unjudged down and destroyed from the mind of man but this also ye Baptized Persons that say ye deny mans Free Will cannot believe for ye think and say though sin do remain in you as it must as long as ye live here yet ye have an Advocate with the Father and so are justified by Christs Merits and Righteousness the which for any one to deny ye account a denial of Free Grace yea and of Christ himself So ye think ye may behold the Fathers Presence even while sin is standing Alas alas Friends ye are much deceived as are the common multitude herein for in this day of Christ the true light another kind of Free Grace and another manner of Saviour is discovered and revealed than hath been formerly imagined for know ye that Gods Free Grace is his Free Gift in giving his Son a light into the world whereby as men come to see confess and forsake all evil in thought word and deed Justification Reconciliation and Peace with the Lord God they may come to witnesse and no otherwise for whosoever hath at any time seen his pure shape with a spiritual eye cannot im●gine or desire to have these any other way his pure eyes beholding no Iniquity in any one without reproof where ever he finds it neither can his all-seeing eye but see it where ever it is and this is also the Saviour that we believe in and Preach and no other to wit a Christ to be known within manifested in our ●●esh to destroy the works of the Devil so saving us from the wrath to come for he was not at all sent to justifie or save his People in their sins but from their sins so is judgement laid to the line and equity to the plummet look how far judgement hath passed upon the transgressour in any one so far is mercy witnessed by the transgressour and no farther and it is equity that it should be so yet is it most free grace in that the Lord God Almighty freely saves in this righteous way by his own Almighty Arm but so as that the creature may remember and take notice that if the righteous scarcely be saved where shall the wicked and ungodly appear neither would this Doctrine oh ye Baptists seem a hard saying unto you if ye were not double-minded loving the Lords Salvation and your sins also to wit pride covetousness deceit self-seeking respecting of Persons having mens Persons in admiration for advantage sake and such like for if your eye were single to the Lord alone ye would desire no peace at his hands but in the way of all righteousness fulfilled in your selves yea even to the silencing every idle and needless word and the removing of every vain Aiery thought in you as knowing that holiness becomes his house for ever but while ye cannot bear these true and faithful sayings know ye that ye are alinated in your minds by wicked works which ye are in love with what ever ye shall professe to the contrary and so are also out of the faith which gives victory over the world and all sin And as for your being baptized with water which is but an outward sign at the most of your being dead and buried and risen with Christ know ye that the thing signified must be witnessed before the sign can be truely applyed which cannot be till ye come to the true faith and so out of the pollutions of the world for otherwise ye set a seal to a blank as well as those who sprinkle infants neither is Baptism with water Christs proper Baptism but was begun by John who came but to prepare the way of the Lord Christ who was to baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire who was to increase in this his proper work and John to decrease in his work Now I grant that Johns Baptism was not suddenly left off but decreased by degrees as the Saints came to eye and witness perfection so as to behold and hold forth Gods purity and righteousness without a sign so that it was practiced by the Apostles and Saints after Christs departure and that sometimes by way of command there being for the present a good use ●hereof yet Paul expresly declareth who was a Minister to the G●ntil●s that he was not sent to baptize but to Pr●ach glad tid●●gs neither was that Commission of Christ to the Apostles in Mat. 28. a Commission to baptize with water as I shall eviden●ly demonstrate for thus are the words truely to be read ou● of the Greek Therefore ys going forth or forward Disciple all Nations dipping or baptizing them into the Name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit teaching them to keep all things wha●soever I have commanded you and behold I am with you al● the dayes even to the finishing of the age Hear we see they were to proceed in their work having first waited for power to do it which was to enter people into the School of Ch●ist and then to baptize them into the Name of the God-head Now the Name of the Lord is his strength and power whereby he is known wonderful in the hearts of his people so is the Name of the Lord a strong Tower Now into this name nothing could bring them but the same power from on high which the Apostles and Saints that had first waited for the same in themselves received which power was the Baptism of the Spirit whose effect was like unto fire filling them with a holy jealousie and burning up the drosse and bringing them into unitie with the Father and the Son in the Spirit sō filling their hearts with joy and gladness and putting words into their mouths and utterance to declare the wondrous Works of God several wayes according to its various workings in them and sometimes even shaking the earthly Tabernacle maki●g them to appear unto the blinde world like drunken men this Baptism which was truely Christs own was and is altogether necessary in the Church of Christ without wh●ch the work of the Lord in his day could not nor cannot go on and therefore was it an Essential part of their Commission which they most carefully and faithfully regarded so that when Persons

believed being also I deny not then baptized with water they prayed and laid their hands on them which was an outward sign of the blessing and they received the holy Spirit now if any one shall say how could the Apostles who were but men baptize with the Spirit I answer no otherwise then they could at first beget faith and repentance in those so baptized it was the Lords work but they ministerially did it that is they having felt the power in themselves the raised life in them Ministred to the life that lay low in others and so brought it up therefore that the Lord might shew he was not tied up to time or manner in the bestowing of his gift while Peter spake those words to Cornelius and the rest the holy Spirit fell on them that heard the word so that this was the Baptism here meant by Christ which was so Essential to the conversion of the world and building up of the Saints in so much that Paul joyns it with faith as a necessary companion saying there is One Lord one Faith and one Baptisme for by one Spirit are the Saints baptized into one body Christ the baptizer being the head who moreover told the Apostles that he would be with them all the dayes that is of their Ministry even to the finishing of the age mark there was an age or certain space of time wherein the truth of the Gospel should grow and the Baptism of the Spirit or the comforters presence be witnessed through Christs Power accompanying their Ministry and then should the Mystery of iniquity in false Apostles get such a head by stealing and bringing in false Doctrines Traditions and inventions that it should God so permitting it overtop the life and so the true Ministry should cease and his living presence not be felt and enjoyed as before which most certainly came to passe as we see whose eyes the Lord hath opened in the many hundred years Apostacy and reign of Antichrist now if Christ meant that He would be alway with them to the end of the world as it s falsely rendred in English Bibles how could his words be true since we see by experience that the Glory of God which shined in his Temple in the Apostles dayes departed over the threshold the Church went into the wilderness the Seed of God was captivated by the Whore of Babylon and the man-Child Christ in his strength taken up to God and his Throne wherefore in the second restauration of the spiritual Temple and re-edifying of the holy City new Jerusalem people must first come to the true faith by believing in Christ the true light and witness repentance from all false worships and and dead works of the world as those that are wearie of Babylons captivity and that set their faces towards Sion in truth and so must wait with the Lords people in silence and humility for the Fathers promise which is the Comforter even the Spirit of truth which in his due time baptizeth such with fire and so by degrees leads them into all truth and out of all sins and errour and so the Church cometh out of the wilderness leaning upon her beloved that is staying her mind upon the light within and being content with her portion be it much or little be it judgement or mercy be it in a day of blackness or gloominess or in a day wherein it is neither dark nor light or in the evening time wherein it shall be light as saith the Prophet or in the sun-shine of the day it self so not despising the day of small things or overlifted up with great things neither must they all this while set upon or practice any outward thing in the worship of God in their own wils or by imitation of others or meerly from a precept without but onely as Christ the light shall lay that precept upon them for if they do they are will-worshippers and so Idolaters for as the Son of God was once personally present in a body of flesh commanding the Apostles to teach the People at the first raising of the Gospel Church to observe all things whatsover he had before commanded them and said unto them while so present with them which the Comforter afterwards brought to their remembrance so in the re●toring thereof the second time none are to observe any thing or teach any thing to be observed but what Christ manifested in their bodies of flesh doth command them for saith he I go away to wit as to his Personal body and the world shall see me no more but ye shall see me that is in their own bodies manifested Now by this oh all ye Baptists may ye try your selves and present practice of water Baptism and all other Administrations and performances in your Congregations have ye witnessed this true faith or are ye yet disputing against it have ye repented of all dead works or are ye still wallowing in the pollutions of the world have ye waited or do ye wait in silence for the Fathers Promise or do ye set your selves on work in a formal Preaching and dead praying and hanging on the lips of such Preachers and Pray-ers Do ye or others keep an outward Sabbath whether on the seventh or first day from mens Precepts or a Mosaical Rule or from a Command of life within Do ye Baptize and are Baptized and break Bread from a particular Command in your selves or because the Saints formerly so practised Do ye exercise the power of the Keyes from the true spiritual discerning judgement and power or because the Churches before the Apostacy did so bind and loose Ye must know that there hath been a wide step between the Apostles and our dayes and that the gathering of the Church at first out of Egypt and the bringing it out of Babylon are two several things and are not brought to pass after one and the self-same manner as to the outward administration of things Also consider that Johns Revelation was a Prophesie of what things came and must come to pass after the Apostles and not a Relation of what was done in their dayes so that in the coming out of mystical Babylon the Lambs followers wait on him for the opening of that mystical Book as that which concerns their present condition Now when the Angel came down from Heaven and lightned the earth with his Glory whereby the everlasting Gospel came to be Preach●d saying Fear God and give G ory to him for the hour of his Judgement is come and come out o● Babylon my p●ople and partake not of her sins lest ye receive of her plagues Then as people came out of her by the guidance of the light the Temple of God or his holy Habitation in the Spirit was opened in Heaven they had a sight in themselves into what state they should be brought even to have a habitation in God and he in them but then was this Temple filled with smoak from the Glory of God and from

the spirits of all the remnant of the People for they were in the unbelief before as ye are concerning the time saying Hag. 2. ver 2. the time is not come the time that the Lords house should be built then the Lords Word in Haggai was this to convince them of the contrary Is it time for you oh ye to dwell in your sieled houses and this house lay wast now therefore thus saith the Lord consider your wayes c. And afterwards when the second Temple was built they were apt to have low thoughts of it who is left among you saith the same Prophet that saw this house in the first glory and how do ye see it now is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing mark as nothing yet saith he now be strong oh Zerubbabel saith the Lord and be strong oh Joshuah the high Priest and be strong all ye people of the Land saith the Lord and work for I am with you saith the Lord of hosts according to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt so my spirit remaineth among you fear ye not for thus saith the Lord of hosts yet once it is a little while and I will shake the Heavens and the Earth and the Sea and the dry Land and I will shake all Nations and the desire of all Nations shall come and I will fill this house with Glory saith the Lord of hosts the silver is mine and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts the Glory of this latter house shall be greater then of the former saith the Lord of hosts and I will give peace in this place saith the Lord of hosts are not these plain words to him that desires to understand the people were discouraged because their second Temple was not so Stately and pompous outwardly as the first built by Solomon yet were they bid to be strong or of a good courage for the Lord of hosts strong and mighty was with them and the same spirit remained among them according to his Covenant with them when they came out of Egypt though there were not miracles and such visible signes shewed amongst them now as then for the right of building the second Temple stood in the Covenant which was still the same to the Seed of Israel outward he to be their God and they to be to him a People whereof Circumcision in the flesh was a sign as the Circumcision of the heart is a signe of the spiritual and everlasting Covenant to the spiritual Seed saying they should not fear for he would shortly shake all and all Nations by his powerful witness which should make way for Christ to come and fill his second house with his Glory for all spiritual riches and treasures are His and in Him so that the Glory of the latter house should be greater then of the former to wit in the invisible Glory yet visible by fruits of all righteousness which to bring forth was the sum and end of all figures shadowes miracles tongues and prophesies So that they should have peace in God which passeth all Humane understanding and outward rest also when their sufferings were fulfilled Now consider whether it were not just so in the first raising up of the Gospel Church in the Apostles dayes they had the gift of tongues they did many miracles c. for it was meet and needful at the first bringing in of the first born into an unbelieving and Heathenish world that it should be so as it was at the Jews coming out of Egypt to be a visible Nation and People unto God but at the coming out of mystical Babylon the Spirit of Life from God entred saith John into the witnesses and they stood upon their feet and they prophesied no miracle or in what Language it was being mentioned and the way that the Saints overcame was by the blood of the Covenant mark the same Life of Christ which is the blood of the everlasting Covenant which the Apostles and Saints formerly stood in was in them whereby they got victory every way also they overcame by the Word of their Testimony declaring what they had seen and handled of the Word of Life and by suffering for the same even unto death as the Jew outward adventured their lives in the going on with their work against Sanballat Tobiah and the other their cruel enemies neither is this second work of God to be sleighted or little esteemed for it is done by the pure power of the Almighty in the Spirit as the Prophet Zacharie testified saying not by might nor by power that is so visibly appearing in strange gifts but by my Spirit saith the Lord of hosts even that by whom all things were made and so is very great and shall bring forth the p●rest State of the Church that ever was as in the description of the new Jerusalem the Holy City doth most evidently appear wherein shall be a new Heaven and new Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness which Peter and the Saints in his dayes waited for and desired to see where shall be no more sorrow nor crying nor pain nor night and this is the State after the captivity not wrought out by outward signes and wonders but by the Internal light leading out of all that is unclean into that wherein there is no defilement which is a glorious and all powerful work so that the Saints feeling of it shall yea and do already say now is come Salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our God and the Power of his Christ for the accuser of our brethren is cast down which accused them before our God day and night and this purely spiritual way of proceeding is most suitable to destroy the mystery of iniquity for hereby spiritual Wisdom is set in opposition and doth discover spiritual deceit by which the Nations have been made drunk yet we deny not or limit the Power of the Holy One in this his day to come forth in what gifts he pleaseth as sometimes he hath done by healing and extraordinary fastings amongst us but this we say it is not so much a seal to the Ministry as the Lords free working how he pleaseth and how he will please to come forth hereafter when the Truth shall actually prevail over other Nations that do not professe Christianity we are not much careful as knowing that whatsoever is needful for the managing of the Lords own Work himself will freely bestow whether it be the gift of tongues miracles or any other Neither is it necessary that the true Ministry should be the Administratours of baptism with water laying on of hands or breaking of bread at their rising so constituting a Church called visible by those outward signs and shadows nay it is not convenient that they should do so for the reasons forementioned to the Baptists also for as much as Antichrist under pretence of setting up of outward false Administrations called by him Ordinances and crying

mouth and heart as Moses also witnessed and so do we now by the same Spirit they were for taking up and standing in the Cross fulfilling of all Righteousness and for separation from every Idol and all Idolatrous wayes and so are we now and that not only in word but in deed and in truth they would not go forth to speak and suffer in their own strength without power from above felt to enable them thereunto neither dare we the like without the same Power so then here are now Judges as at the first the same Spirit of Judgment proceeding yea the Lord in his People rather coming more near to Judgement and Counsellours as at the beginning those that exhort and reprove in the same Authority whose words the earthly mind is even less able to bear than formerly for Plagues and Woes unsufferable and so scorching vials are now pouring forth upon the seat of the Beast and the Whore and hail-stones fall from Heaven upon the wicked like the weight of a talent and those who speak in all wisdom to the Saints themselves are seen so ministring from the life to the same immortal life whereby they are built up unto a perfect man so that neither are they to be denied to be Counsellours as at the beginning because they do not exhort People to be Baptized with water c. for they find not that in their spiritual Commission yea see by the internal light the end of all shadows which must and do flee away at the very dawning of this bright day of the coming of the Son of man which shall never set more for saith the Lord to the Church Thy Sun shall no more go down at noon increase it shall but not decrease So here now is the true Tryal of the true Church and Ministry when the sign of the Son of man is seen in Heaven even himself appearing in his People as a universal light enlightning every one as the lightning which shineth from one end of Heaven to the other as also by the Baptism of Fire and the Holy Spirit which is felt really amongst us for as Eliah in Jezabels time said when there was a contest about his being a true Prophet or whether Baals prophets who were 450 were such or no he that answereth by fire let him be God so the Lord answering Eliah by fire a lively figure of this spiritual Baptism it licked up the water which was in the ditch and wood and fleshly offering a true representation of the consuming outward shadows the hay wood and stubble that Paul speaketh of whereby he alone was known to be the Lords own Prophet and the other though many to be false ones and so he had dominion over them and slew them So say I now to all Sects and Gatherings and Opinions in the world where the Lord God Baptizeth with fire consuming and burning up the dross filling his People that wait on him with a Holy Jealousie for his Holy Name and against all evil in thought word and deed where the outward earthly tabernacle as well as the inward is shaken where all shadows are made to vanish as needless in such a day as this there is the true Church visible and the true Prophets and Witnesses who slay all false prophets with the Sword of Christs mouth laying them by spiritual Judgement under Eternal Condemnation they repenting not and so casting them into the lake of fire And in this sense is that place in Jer. 30. to be understood which I believe ye called S●ekers much stick at where the Prophet fore-telling the Restauration of the Church after the captivity said The City should be builded upon her own Heap and the Palace remain after the manner thereof and that their Children should be as aforetime and their Congregation be established before the Lord and their Nobles should be of themselves and their Governour proceed from the midst of them c. to wit by the building the Church upon the same true Foundation as formerly even Christ the true light and bestowing on it the same spiritual gift which was the Spirit of truth the Fathers Promise to all true believers So establishing them upon the Rock of ages against which the Gates of Hell shall not prevail out of whom should go forth such Ministers who should be Noble and Valiant for the Truth Christ himself the Head of the Church being their Governour who from the midst of them ariseth in his strength to scatter all their enemies and to punish all that oppresse them as the Lord hath said he will do by the same Prophet so that the Palace remains after the manner of the former as enjoying the substance though the shadowes and same gifts in all things be not practised by the Saints or found amongst them for the Prophet Amos Chap. 9. fore-telling of the raising up of the Tabernacle of Dav●d that was fallen down c. said That the Lord would build it as in the dayes of old Now we find that the Apostle James in Acts 15. applieth this Prophesie to the raising up of the Gentile Church in those dayes which was truly applied thereunto because although the Jewish Church of old was very far different both in matter and manner of Administration from the Churches of Christ then yet it was builded as in the dayes of old because it was established upon the Foundation of Abraham with whom the Covenant was made both to the carnal and spiritual seed and because the substance was felt and witnessed which was the same in the Saints in all ages Wherefore I exhort ye all called Seekers if ye will find what ye say ye se●k after to come to the light in your own selves and wait low in it so shall you find the vail to remove from off your understandings whereby the true faithful witness Christ Jesus will be seen to stand up and so all impediments stumbling blocks taken up from the Letter without will be removed and a right understanding of the Scriptures be given so as to discern of the times and seasons but ye must first come to the Cross by owning your Reprover for sin and deny the pride pleasures interests folly and vanities of this world so as not the longer ye seek the worse ye grow as 't is too manifest some of you have done for it is the humble that he will teach and his secret is with them that fear him so as to shew them his Covenant for so have I found it by experience which Covenant of light being witnessed ye will easily see your way to Sion and your Leader thither not standing still for lack of gifts in others or wanting an Administrator of external ordinances but will keep to your own and find in due time such pure Power to arise as will administer to you in his own Sanctuary and make you Minister that to others which will plainly shew that ye are those who are called chosen
