world for the clearing of the truth and wiping away the reproaches which lyes upon it and taking away the stumbling blocks And we do likewise testifie to all the world and do see it in the eternal light which comes from Jesus Christ the true Prophet which Moses writ of who said A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up like unto me him shall you hear which we witness to be come and made manifest in us Therefore do we know and see and to all the world declare that all the false Prophets that ever prophesied falsly who prophesies for Baal whose minds have turned and erred from the light as ours was when we looked out from the light which never changes Therefore do we declare and witness to all the world That all the false Prophets that ever was and ever shall be is of that Generation and of that nature and one with the Priests of England and all the Priesthood which is in the world which is changeable and erred from the light which is eternall and unchangeable which comes from Jesus Christ the unchangeable Priest and end of the Prophets and this we know and witness in our measure whereby we see the deceit they all live in glory and praises be to the Living God for evermore Iames Millner Elizabeth Millner To all you who yet know not the true Ministers of Jesus Christ from the false Teachers of the world 1.

Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is content with the Gospel wayes food and rayment or he that will have the tenth of mens estates or a great summe of money yearly for his pains judge ye 3.

Whether he be the true Minister of Iesus Christ that is despised hated and persecuted of the world or he who is set up by the world called Master loved of the world given to pleasures and who lives in idlenesse devouring the Creation upon his lust judge ye 5.

A. To the Heads and Governours of this Nation who have put forth a Declaration for the keeping of a day of solemn fasting and Humiliation for the persecution as they say on the poor Inhabitants in the Valley of Lucerna Angrona and others professing the reformed Religion which hath been transmitted unto them from their Ancestors Answ. PRofessing their reformed Religion may be transmitted to Generatiōs so holden by the tradition in that where the profession and tradition is holden in that is the dayes of humiliation kept which stands in the will of man which is not the fast which the Lord requires to hold down the head like a Bul-rush for a day and the day following be in the same condition as you were the day before To the light of Christ Jesus in your Consciences do I speak which testifies for God every day and witnesseth against all sin and persecution which measure of God if you beguided by it doth not limit God to a day but leads to the fast which the Lord requires which is to loose the bonds of wickedness to undoe the heavy burthens and to let the oppressed go free and to break every yoak Isa. 58.6 this is the Fast the Lord requires and this stands not in the transmission of times nor in the tradition of men but this was before time was Mark 7.7 8 9 13. Col. 2.8.15 Mat. 3.9 and this leads out of time and this shall be when time shall be no more And those that teach for Doctrine the Commandements of men are they which ever persecuted the life and power when it came And a Decree or Edict as you call it proceeds from the ground of the Popes Religion and Supremacy and there stands his tyranny and cruelty acted in that will which is in that nature which exerciseth Lordship over another as you may read Mark 10.42 Luke 22.25 as all the Heathen do and ever did and in the heathenish nature is all the tyrany and persecution exercised who are out of the obedience of the light of Christ Jesus in the Conscience which is the guider and leader of all who are tender of that of God in the Consciences and who is not led by this knoweth not what it is to suffer for Conscience sake And whereas you take it into your consideration the sad persecution tyrany and cruelty exercised upon them whom you call your Brethren Protestants and therein do contribute and administer to their wants outwardly this is good in its place

Fell And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet Rev. 16.13 But there were false Prophets also among the people even as there shall be false Teachers among you who privily shall bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them and bringing upon themselves swift destruction And many shall follow their pernicious wayes by reason of whom the way of truth is evil spoken of 2 Pet. 2.1 2. And also Iames Milners Condemnation upon that which erred from the Light LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert 1655. Iohn 8. Isa. 42. I Am the Light of the world and doth enlighten every one that comes into the world saith Christ Jesus I the Lord who hath called thee in Righteousnesse and will hold thine hand and will keep thee and give thee for a Covenant to the people and for a light unto the Gentiles Now all people see where you are And try your Teachers what they lead you into which drawes you from the light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened you withall who saith He that walks in the Light shall have the Light of Life and Iohn saith in John 1. that In him was life and the life was the light of men Now try your Teachers which drawes 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 with and search the Scriptures and examine them honestly and see whether ye be not Deceived by them which drawes you from the Light which is and ever was the Saints Teacher and ever shall be And Iohn saith that he was not the light but he was sent to bear witnesse of that light which was the true Light that enlightens 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 Iohn He beares witness to the light which enlightens every man that cometh into the world and they bear winess against the Light and saith he doth not enlighten every one that cometh into the world And tells people that they must look after them for Meanes and Ordinances and so blind poor people and keeps them in Ignorance and Darkness But all people who love your own soules search into the Scriptures and try them by the Scriptures which you call the Word and Rule to walk by and you shall find them the Deceivers and the Antichrists and the false Prophets which they tell you so much on that should come in the latter dayes Iohn saith Many false Prophets are gone out into the world Now try your Teachers by this and see whether they be not in the world nor separated from the world but drawes from the light which separates from the world and leads out of the world But they witness against the light and pleads for sin and the Kingdom of Antichrist which is of the world And John saith This is the Condemnation that light is come into the world But men love Darkness rather then Light because their deeds are evil For every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved But he that doth truth comes 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 drawes from the Light which is the worlds condemnation And whether these be not Deceivers and Antichrists which John speaks on that are entred into the world which drawes from the Light and doth not confesse Christ Jesus come in the flesh But doth deny the Light and doth persecute and call them Deceivers and false Prophets which witnesses Christ 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 who ever persecuted the Righteous seed who denyes the light The same John which saith False Prophets Deceivers and Antichrists are gone into the world saith These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you But the Anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you but as the same Anointing teacheth you all things and is truth and is no lie and even as it hath taught you you shall abide in him Now all people see who be the false prophets whether John and those that witness the Anointing or your Teachers which drawes from the Anointing Christ Jesus saith I am come a light into the world that whosoever believeth on me shall not abide in darknesse This same Christ saith in the 7. of Matth. Beware of false Prophets which comes to you in sheeps cloathing but inwardly they are Ravening Wolves by their fruits ye shall know them Now try your Teachers by this Scripture and see whether they have not been cloathed all this while with sheeps cloathing the Saints cloathing the words and profession of Christ but now when the sheep comes who knowes his voyce and will not follow strangers such as they now see if they do not appear outwardly to be Ravening Wolves what they were before inwardly their fruits doth make them manifest Therefore let the Scripture try them The same Christ Jesus saith unto the Disciples who came unto him privately on the Mount of Olives Matth. 24. And Jesus answered and said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my Name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many Now try your Teachers and see whether they have any thing but a name and a profession of Christ who drawes from the Light Whereas Christ Jesus saith he is the Light And Christ saith Then shall they deliver you up and kill you and ye shall be hated of all Nations for my Names sake Now see whether these Priests of yours be hated and

they shall persecute you in the City and will scourge you in their Synagogues and will bring you before Governours but he that endures to the end shall be saved the Disciple is not above his Master nor the servant above his Lord if they have called the Master of the house Belzebub how much more them of his houshold And all you that spit at the people of God now you may read your examples as them that did not spare to spit at Iob Iob 30. and you may read your example when the chief Priests rent his Clothes how they spit at Christ in his face and buffetted him and struck him with rods and asked him saying prophesie unto us O Christ who smote thee and here again you may read your example in Mat. 26. and again you may read another example in Mat. 27. how they spit upon Christ and took a Reed and smote him upon the head And again you may read another example in Mark How the high Priests and Scribes condemned Iesus to death and he said they should mock him and spit upon him And again you may read another example how some began to spit at Christ and covered his face and beat him with their fists and the Sergeants smote him with rods for this example you may read Mark 14. and another example you may read Mark 15. how they smote Iesus on the head with a Reed and bowed the knee and mocked him and began to salute him and here you mockers beaters and that spit at the Children of God you may read your example in Mat. 15. And again ye that stone the people of God in the Markets and high wayes you may read your selves to be of that Generation that took up stones to stone Christ And they said they stoned him for blasphemy Iohn 10. And the Disciples told Christ that the Iews sought to stone him and they said unto him Wilt thou go thither again And the High Priests gathered a Councel they consulted together to put him to death And the Apostles was used despitefully and they stoned them Acts 14. And Steven who was examined before the chief Priests he was stoned to death with such as held up the outward Temple and they gnashed upon him with their teeth as the world do now And there is your example Acts 7. and Matth 21.35 how they killed and stoned the servants of the Lord and the Apostle Paul was stoned and drawn out of the City supposed to have been dead and in the 2 Cor. 11. the Apostle speaks there how he was stoned and another example you may read Heb. 11. how the people of God was stoned whom the world was not worthy of So ye that stone the people of God now here you may read your examples before mentioned And you are the Generation that stone such as ye are not worthy of The 13. day of the 4. Moneth TO all Friends and People every where where this may come do I Iames Millner and Elizabeth my Wife who are of them whom the world scornfully calls Quakers we do for the truths sake and for the clearing of it and wiping away those reproaches and scandals which have been cast upon it by the rude wicked world who lyes in wickedness and uncleanness and have taken occasion to cast many slanderous reproaches upon the truth which was occasioned by some weakness which proceeded from us when we were young in the truth about half a year after we were Convinced We witness the Living power made manifest in us and the promise of God we did then witness in measure where it is said in the second of Ioel Your sons and your daughters shall prophesie and the testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophesie we did then witness in measure but being then young in the truth and the dark mind being above the prophesie which was in the light which dark mind could not comprehend and see the prophesie what it was to so the mind being carnal took the prophesie and looked out at Carnal things But now that is born up in our understandings the Light which comes from Jesus which comprehends the darknesse and now we see where we mist and erred from the light praises be to the Living God for ever And therefore do we in the presence of the Living God own our Condemnation due to that which erred from the Light and do witness it present upon us and the Judgment of God to be just And we do also witness the Living truth to be pure and just which by us hath suffered though we had perished in that Condition but glory be unto the Eternal God for ever who hath turned us from the darkness unto the light and from the power of Satan unto God And whereas the enemies of God and of his truth some of the Priests which took Information from some which took occasion about that time to stumble and fall back from the truth and hath put it severall times in print to make the truth odious and to cause weak ones to stumble and to keep others from receiving of the truth We do here therefore openly declare in the Eternal light whereby we see and comprehend and condemn and deny that which turned from the light and with the light which never changes do we shut it out and condemn it too amongst the false Prophets and Antichrists that are in the world and in the light which is Eternal do we see that mind that erred from the Light to be one with all the Priests of England And I Iames Millner and Elizabeth my Wife do here joyntly together in the presence of the Living God deny that which led us from the light and all the Priests of England and all the professions in the world which is out of the light with which light we see them and the false prophet which spoke unto us to be one And therefore do we passe Condemnation on them both And in the light which never changes do we stand witnesses against them for ever Knowing them and seeing them to be deceivers and no Ministers but of Antichrist And they are them who takes occasion by all means they can to render the truth odious and to keep the Seed of God in bondage that so they may make Merchandize of soules and so betray the simple But the Lord God of life is laying their Abomination open and uncovering their filthiness Therefore thou Priest Shaw and all thy partakers who have made this our errour a cloak for your filthiness take it to your selves it is your own and stop your mouthes with it for in the Eternal light which never changes we deny both it and you and condemnes you into the pit for ever And in the Eternall light we do stand witnesses against the blind guides and for the living truth which never changes are we witnesses And this are we ready to seal with our blood And this are we moved of the Lord to declare to all the
