The People of God in Scorn called QUAKERS Their Love to All MANKIND For as God's Love through Christ hath been shed abroad in our Hearts we cannot but in the same Love desire the Eternal Good and the Salvation of all Mankind and would have them Repent and turn to Jesus Christ whom God h●th given in his Love to be their Way Leader and Captain of their Salvation and hath tasted Death for every man and hath bought them with a Price therefore that they all might serve and live to him and glorifie God with their Bodies Souls and Spirits which are the Lord's that he hath made and Christ's who hath redeemed and bought them By George Fox I will give thee for a Light to the Gentiles that thou mayst be my Salvation to the Ends of the World Isa 49.6 And all the Ends of the Earth shall see the Salvation of our God Isa 52.10 Have I any Desire that the Wicked should dye saith the Lord God or shall he not live if he turn from his Wicked Ways for I desire not the Death of him that dyeth saith the Lord wherefore turn your selves and live ye Ezek. 18.23 32. Printed in the Year 1676. The People of God in Scorn called QUAKERS Their LOVE to All MANKIND IT hath often been said That the People of God in scorn called Quakers love none but themselves To this I answer such are mistaken in their Judgment and I fear it is their own Conditions for we love God that Created all things and his Son by whom all things were made who was conceived by the Holy Ghost born of a Virgin who made a good Confession before Pontius Pilate who was Cruc●fied without the Gates at Jerusalem and rose the third Day and sits at the right Hand of God by whom God will judge the World according to the Gospel that is according to the invisible Power which is preacht to every Creature Secondly we love all Men and Women simply as they are Men and Women and as they are God's workmanship and so as Brethren and Children of Adam and Eve by Generation Thirdly we love them all as they come to be Sons of God by Adoption and can say Abba Father in the heavenly Brotherly fellowship and we are commanded to do good unto all especially to the House hold of Faith For Christ commands us to love one another and not so only but to love Enemies and it is a mark by which his were known to be his Disciples viz. by their loving each other And we are to pray for Enemies and our Persecuters by the command of Christ and the Apostles For God hath ma●e of one Blood all mankind to dwell upon the face of the Earth Acts 17.26 And the Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof And the Lord saith in Job 31. All under the Heavens is mine who hath Created all to his Glory and the Lord saith unto Ezekiel say unto them as I live saith the Lord God I desire not the Death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from his Way and live turn you turn you from your evil Wayes for why will you dye Oh ye House of Israel saith the Lord here ye may see God's mind and his love to People which all his People is to be in who would have People turn from their wicked Wayes and live Ezek. 33.11 And further the Lord saith I desire not the death of him that dieth cause therefore one another to turn and live see here the love of God to Mankind who would have them to turn and live Ezek. 18.23 And so he would have all that 's called Christendom to turn to the New Covenant and live which is our desire also And further he saith Have I any desire that the Wicked should dye saith the Lord God Or shall he not live if he turn from his wayes here ye may see what the Lord's desire is and his goodness to wicked Mankind in the same Chap. And in Esai 1.18 Come now and let us Reason together saith the Lord though your Sins were as Crimson they shall be made white as Snow though they were as red as Scarlet they shall be as Wool if you consent and obey ye shall eat the good things of the Land but if you refuse and be Rebellious ye shall be devoured with the Sword for the Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it here ye may see the love of God to Man and Woman who would reason with Man and have him to obey and consent and shews him the good in obeying and shews him the Judgments in disobeying And in Esai 45.22 Look unto me and ye shall be saved saith the Lord all ye ends of the Earth for I am God and there is no other So all ye ends of the Earth must look unto the Lord for Salvation And Esai saith Cease you from Man whose Breath is in his Nostrils for wherein is he to be esteemed of Isa 2.22 and therefore all ye ends of the Earth must look unto the Lord for Salvation these are the words of the Lord to the ends of the Earth and to all People upon it And thus saith the Lord I will give thee for a Light of the Gentiles that thou mayest be my Salvation unto the End of the World speaking of Christ as in Isa 49.6 Who is the Salvation to the End of the World Christ Jesus the Covenant of Light which Prophesie of Isaiah was fulfilled in Christ of whom it 's said in John 1. In him was Life and the Life w●s the Light of Men and the Light shined in the Darkness and the Darkness comprehended it not and John Baptist said he was not that Light but was sent to bear Witness of the Light and that was the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the World he was in the World and the world was made by him and the world knew him not to wit Christ the Light that lighteth every Man that cometh into the World and Grace and Truth cometh by Jesus Christ as the Law came by Moses for the Grace of God which bringeth Salvation unto all men hath appeared mark unto all men hath appeared this Grace of God which bringeth Salvation Here is the general love of God to Mankind which teacheth us to live Soberly c. saith the Apostle to the true Christians and that we should deny Ungodliness and worldly Lusts and live Soberly and Righteously and Godly in this present World So this Grace of God which hath appeared unto all men was their Teacher how to live and walk to God and Man and what to deny I say how to live and walk to God which brought their Salvation and to look for the blessed Hope and the appearing of the Glory of the mighty God and our Saviour Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all Iniquity and purge us to be a peculiar People unto himself Zealous of good Works c.
