A90622	A discovery of the priests, that say they are sent off by the Lord, but upon trial are found out of the commands of Christ, the prophets, and Apostles, and to be those that are not sent of the Lord, but to be such that the sent ones of the Lord did cry wo against, and to be such that are false apostles, deceitful, wicked, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ: and no marvail, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light; therefore it is no great thing, if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, ... With a few words to such professors and prophane, that together joyn to persecute the righteous: and to the ranters that do commit all manner of sins with greediness. Darkness denied by the children of Light, and the babe of Christ growing up to a perfect man. / Written from one who is known to the world by the name of John Pain, who accounts it great riches to suffer reproaches, and afflictions with the people of the Lord, who scornfully by the world are called Quakers, ... Written from Starford in Hartford-shire the 7. day of the 4. month. 1655.	Pain, John, shoemaker.	1655 (1655)	Wing P188; Thomason E848_22; ESTC R203094	39,396	39

is your Church orders for shame disown such filthy practices and see what spirits you do joyn with those that are of the world those are beloved of the world for the world doth love her own but those that are not of the world Act. 17.17 18. the world doth hate them there is emnity put between the seed of the woman and the seed of the Serpent never can those be reconciled the evil spirit knows the evil spirit in another though one hath got the form and words of truth if the life be wanting the spirit of the prophane world and their spirits will joyn together to persecute the power but as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit Heb. 13.2 even so it is now It is no new thing when the Church was scattered about and went up and down preaching the Gospel and had no certain dwelling places but their habitation was in God how were they hated by the world and made the very off-scowring of it of whom the world was not worthy they were strangers to them and therefore hated by them but to entertain strangers forget not 1 Tim. 5.10 oppress not a stranger because he is a stranger when the widdows were taken into the Church they were well reported of for good works if she hath brought up her children if she hath lodged strangers if she hath washed the Saints feet What Church is yours that will not do this to strangers but persecute them and imprison them speak all manner of evil of them when they offer violence to no man Consider this both Priest and people is it not thus with you are not these fruits made manifest and yet you are not ashamed to call your selves a Church you are indeed the Synagogues of Satan behold I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan which say they are Jews and are not but do lie Behold I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee he is not a Jew that is one owardly but he is a Jew that is one inwardly and Circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit and not in the letter Rom. 2.32 whose praise is of God not of men Now where the heart is purified fruites of persecution doth not appear nor neither can they but there love gentleness to all men doth appear doing by others as they would be done to But if these fruits do still remain among you lie not against the truth your Religion is in vain it will not endure the fire but this is the National Church that are baptized Gal. 2.27 but not into Christ and here is the world made the Church of whom Christ is not the head nor they his members Rom. 6.3 4 and here the world rests as if they were the people of the Lord and if any doth come to speak to the contrary then they are all of an uproare like bruit beasts Do not your teachers joyn with the world in feastings in idle speeches and in foolish jeastings that do administer no grace to the hearers telling tales and stories which are pleasing to the flesh which they do soon receive Act. 16.5 for it is one with them and so prophaneness is gone forth from the Priests the Ministers of Christ their life was an example and pattern of holiness but you strengthen the hands of the wicked and dishonor the Lord of purity and holiness Is this to keep your selves unspoted of the world are not these spots in your feasts to feed your selves without fear and joyn with the world if you did reprove them sharply when you did hear of unsavory words not seasoned with grace they would not endure your company it would be as fire amongst them But like Priest like people the Ministers of Christ they say have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness but rather reprove them that they may be ashamed is this your practice no it is not you go from place to place a feasting into all companies Eph. 5.4 and 11. and so get the love of all but wo be to you you joyn with the world and the great ones of the world and have their persons in admiration because of advantage bowing and cringing and worshipping the seed of Haman which Mordcai would not do you are respecters of persons and so are transgressors of the Law of God this you to do get a living from them though they are not for Christ but for their lusts and pride most of them these are beloved by you and you do not speak against them because of your gain Jud. 16. and the honor you have from them you speak of sin in the general and live the life of it and so it is put off from the one to the other Jam. 4.9 but which of you do as the prophet did to David say thou art the man come home to them and speak in particular and then you will try them dealing faithfully not fearing

the wicked Did you forsake and shun their companies and not joyn with them in pride and filthiness and works of the flesh they would soon hate you or their filthy practices practises there would be no living thus but a separation you would see But are not fruits of pride and covetuousness which is idolatry fruites of envy and malice made manifest among your Church and hearers these fruits maketh it manifest that you are one with the world say what you will Are not they the false prophets that are entered into the world in fellowship with the world beloved of the world Who is it that doth side with you for to defend you when any doth come from the Lord to speak to you to leave your deceits Do not the rude multitude side with you swearers drunkards scoffers and railers and your professors al together tearing and rending like ravenous beasts see now where you are what spirit joyns for you be ashamed that ever such beasts should take your parts did ever such bruites heathens take part with

not to tear and rend like beasts of prey your fellow creatures Act. 19.32 36 37 39 40. beating and smiting of them are these the fruites of the spirit no they are not but fruites of the flesh Is this your Church order be ashamed for ever that such should joyn with you but by your fruites you are known and the fruites of your Ministery received from man is now made manifest the day hath
