A41061	A testimonie of the touch-stone, for all professions, and all forms, and gathered churches (as they call them), of what sort soever to try their ground and foundation by and a tryal by the Scriptures, who the false prophets are, which are in the world, which John said should be in the last times / by Margret Fell ; also, some of the ranters principles answered.	Fox, Margaret Askew Fell, 1614-1702.	1656 (1656)	Wing F636; ESTC R13179	30,378	40

profession in words where you have neither bottom nor foundation will not serve for the sword of the Lord is drawn which cuts down all fruitlesse trees and groundlesse professions and your forms and covers is to be ripped off and ye will be found naked miserable and blinde Therefore now ye have time prize it and harden not your hearts while it is called to day but repent and turn to the Lord who waits to be gracious who will not give his honour to another but will be inquired of Turn to the light which cometh from the father of light which draws your minds towards God and let this be your teacher and leader and guider And here ye will come to see your blinde guides which Christ Jesus cries woe against who hath so long devoured the flock and scattered them who draws them from that by which the Lord teacheth his people which is the light The witnesse of God which witnesseth for God against all sin and uncleannesse And this they draw people from to look out at them who are the deceivers and betrayers of your souls Therefore as you love your souls turn from them and lay your foundation in the light for this is the door which every one who enters goes in at and whosoever climbs up another way is a thief and a robber and this ye shall eternally witnesse And so to the light turn and there wait and there will ye see the betrayers of your souls And if ye do not turn to this light this light shall be your condemnation for ever and shall finde you out one day and this ye shall eternally witnesse whether ye will hear or forbear None ownes the truth as it is in Jesus but who owns the light which he hath lighted them withall who lighteth every man that cometh into the world Nor none owns the truth but who owns the light that they are lighted withal which comes from Christ Jesus the light and life who is the way to the father of life Nor none ownes the way to the father who lighteth every man that cometh into the world but such as ownes the light which comes from him And none cometh to the Father but by the Son and none cometh to the Son but who owneth the light which from the Son doth come who lighteth every man that cometh into the world None heareth the Prophet Christ Jesus him by whom the world was made who lighteth every man that cometh into the world none heareth him but who heareth that and owneth that which the Prophet hath enlightened withal who saith learn of me None learneth but such as are turned to the light which from him doth come None receiveth the word in the heart but such as receiveth the light which they be lighted withal who cometh from him who lighteth every man that cometh into the world Christ Jesus who is called the word of God He that receiveth the light shall receive the word and he that heareth not this Prophet he heareth not the light he is lighted withal that cometh from the Prophet whose name is called the Word He that heareth not this Prophet shall be cut off from among the people be heareth not the light he is enlightned withal If he make a profession of all the Saints words declared from the light yet he is cut off from among the people and with the light condemned A tryal of the false Prophets I Am the light of the world and doth lighten every man that cometh into the world saith Christ Jesus John 1.9 And the Prophet Isaiah who prophesied of Christ Jesus saith I the Lord who hath called thee in righteousness and will hold thine hand and will keep thee and give thee for a Covenant of the people for a light of the Gentiles Isaiah 42.6 Now all people see where you are and try your teachers what they lead you into which draws you from the light which Christ Jesus hath enlighted you withall who saith he that walks in the light shall have the light of life And John saith That in him was life and the life was the light of men John 1.4 Now try your teachers which draws you from the light by the Scriptures which they take to speak unto you and as they say is their rule Let it likewise be your rule to try them by And search the Scriptures and examine them honestly and see whether ye be not deceived by them which draws you from the light which is and ever was the Saints teacher and ever shall be And John saith that he was not light but he was sent to bear witnesse of the light which is the true light which lightens every man that cometh into the world Now all people try and see your teachers whether all your Priests of England be not witnesses contrary to John He bears witnesse to the light that lightens every man that cometh into the world and they bear witnesse against the light and say he doth not inlighten every one that cometh into the world And tells people they must look after them for means and ordinances and so blinds poor people and keeps them in ignorance and darknesse But all people as ye love your own souls search into the Scriptures and try them by the Scriptures which ye call the Word and your rule to walk by and you shall finde them the deceivers and the Antichrists and false Prophets which they tell you so much of that should come in the latter dayes John saith Many false Prophets are gone into the world Now try your teachers by this and see whether they be not in the world not separated from the world but draws from the light which separates from the world and leads out of the world but they witnesse against the light and pleads for sin and for the Kingdome of Antichrist which is of the world And John saith this is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darknesse rather then light because their deeds are evil for every one that doth evil hateth the light neither bringeth he his deeds to the light lest they should be reproved but he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest whether they be wrought in God Now all poor people see whether these be not the false Prophets which are entred into the world which draws from the light which is the worlds condemnation And whether these be not the deceivers and Antichrists which John speaks of which are entred into the world which doth not confesse Jesus Christ to be come in the flesh but doth deny the light and doth persecute and call them deceivers and false Prophets which do witnesse him come in the flesh and walks in the light which he hath enlightened them withall These they stock and prison and cause to be beat in their Synagogues as all did that went before them which ever persecuted the righteous seed who denies the light The same John which saith
