A85143 Light risen out of darkness now in these latter days. Shewing the dark ways and worships of the ministry of Antichrist now in these apostated times, which is perilous, as is foretold of often by the Holy Ghost that spoke through Paul, and now is fulfilled in these latter days, 2 Tim 3. Thus saith the Lord, Arise Sion, and thresh with a sharp threshing instrument, and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen, and is arising, and Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone to all nations, now that Christ is unto his people both the light and glory thereof. Wherein something is written in reply to a book that was set forth by the dry and night vines in and about Beverley, who scornfully nicknameth the people of God, in reviling and falsly accusing them, and calleth them Quakers, in and about York-shire. Iuly, 1653. R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666. 1654 (1654) Wing F490; Thomason E729_5; ESTC R206840 47,191 59

Which Christ is in me operating by his Spirit and enlightening my understanding opening blind eyes and unstoping deaf ears so that I hear and see and know by experience what I say I do not know God by hear-say from others but mine eyes hath seen his salvation the new man the new heart and new eye he that is in Christ is a new creature old things are passed away and all things are become new which you shew your selves to be ignorant of and are in the old nature and in the fall under the curse and wrath of the Almighty who lives in lyes which is of the Divel who is the Father of lyes and him you serve and are in the same state and condition that Christ spake of in Iohn 8.44 And that Message that Iohn speaks of in that first Epistle and the first Chapter shew your selves to be ignorant of that lives in darkness For God is light and in him is no darkness at all but they that say they have fellowship with him and walk in darkness do lye and do not the truth 1 Iohn 1.5 6.
