A40250	Several papers some of them given forth by George Fox; others by Jame [sic] Nayler, minister of the eternal word of God, raised up after the long night of apostacy to direct the world, to wait for the revelation of Jesus Christ, and to turn their minds to the true light, that they may be reconciled to God; of the world is not worthy, and therefore doth hate, persecute, and whom inprison them, under the name of Quaker[s]. Gathered together and published by A. P. that the truth may be spread abroad, and deceit be discovered. Wherein the plain, honest, and sober conversation of the saints in fear and trembling, is justified, against the idle bablings of formal professors ... and of all sorts of persons, under pretence of civility. Also the priests of England, with their imaginary doctrines and worships discovered to be the grand enemies of Jesus Christ; and the true worship of God in spirit and truth made manifest. ...

outward Synagoguess as Moses which was a type of Christ which was a servant ann faithful in his house the deceit after him got into his place and was called of men masters which sat in his seat which pretended justice and did not and that was the time before Christ was sacrificed up he came to fulfil the Law and not to break it but he cryed Woe unto them that were called of men Masters and had the cheifest place in the assemblies and laid heavy burthens upon the people and paint themselves with the Prophets words But when Jesus Christ was sacrificed and risen his Ministers Preached his Resurrection they did not hold up the Types and Figures then but held forth the substance Jesus Christ and all who were gathered together in the substance were of one heart one mind one soul and met together and exhorted one another and builded up one another in the most holy Faith and all building is in that which is holy and this Faith I witness which is but one and all are one that are in it if ten thousand which purifies the heart stands in God glory and honor to the highest and whom Jesus Christ made Ministers he made them not Masters but said Be ye not called Masters neither call any man upon earth Master for ye have one Masters even Jesus Christ But the Teachers of the world who in words profess the Lord Jesus Christ are called of men Masters and lay heavy burthens upon the people goe in long Robes having the cheifest place in the Assemblies standing praying in the Synagogues and them that did so Christ Jesus said Their prayers were Heathenish which shews they were never taught of him for they abide not in his Doctrine and he that abides not in the truth is of the Devil and here they shew themselves neither to follow Jesus Christ the example nor the Apostles as an example but take the Scriptures to trade withall And all those which Jesus Christ the Prophets and Apostles do deny we deny When the Apostles spake to the Saints he bade them Take heed to the light that shined in a dark place till the day dawned and the day-star arose in their hearts and as the light appeared so they exhorted one another for there were false Prophets and false Teachers among the people which with feigned words and covetousness made marchandize of them who had forsaken the right way following the waies of Balaam going in the way of Caine whose Sacrifi●e God did not accept Now all people that love the Lord Jesus Christ you may see all the Teachers of the world there going after the waies of Balaam for then that Doctrine crept in which is scattered over the world and the Apostles saw certaine creeping into house leading silly Women Captive laden with sin and divers lusts which were ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth which he describes they were lovers of their owne selves covetous proud heady high-minded selfe-willed incontinent truce-breakers false accusers fierce despisers of those that are good lovers of pleasures more then lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so do these men of corrupt minds reprobates concerning the Faith but they shall proceed no further their folly shall appeare to all men Now the Apostle bids from such turn away though once he said some Preach Christ of envy some of strife and contention some of good will though their intention was but to adde affliction to his bonds yet he rejoyced in it And that was a time when few did believe that that was the Christ so that his name was spread abroad he did not matter what they were but when his name was spread abroad and many got the Forme and had not the Power such were Antichrists and were denyed by them who had the power and so they are now And all people consider you have been long hearers and learners if you be yet come to the first Principle of Religion to that which turns the mind to God All whose faith doth not purifie they are reprobates concerning the Faith So aske any Priest or people whether they shall overcome the body of sin as long as they are upon the Earth they will say No Therefore their seeming Faith I deny for Faith purifies the heart and gives the Victory over the World and this I owne and you have put off the body of sin by the Circumcision made without hands and whilst we were servants of sin we were free from righteousness but God be thanked who hath made us free from sin to serve God in righteousness in the newness of the spirit and not in the oldness of the Letter And whereas we are accused for not owning Magistracy justice we own for conscience fake for that which is in the conscience loves equity and righteousness and justice and leads out of all evil and uncleanness For let every soule be subject to the higher power for all power is of God and the powers of God our soules are subject unto for he that resisteth that resisteth the Ordinance of God but who lives in drunkenness in pride in covetousness murder lust and uncleanness their soules are not subject to the higher power but resist it and that nature we do deny and justifie that which cuts it down we own honor and sut up and honour all men in the Lord but as for respecting persons we deny for he that respects persons commits sin and is a transgressor of the Law For to respect a proud man because he hath a Gold Ring on his finger and fine Apparell such respects we deny for the Scriptures deny the same and to set up a great man which hath abundance of Earth joyning field to field and land to land and respect such above the poore this is an evil eye for God cryes wo unto such for God hath made all of one mould and one blood to dwell upon the face of the Earth and he is no respecter of persons and who are in the Faith of the Lord Jesus Christ it is without respect of Persons for it is but one and makes all one one seed one soule one heart one minde in one God Father of all over all blessed for ever and this we do witness praised be the Lord to be fulfilled which all the holy men of God did witness forth a good conscience and therefore we have a cloud of witnesses which are recorded in the Scriptures And whereas we are accused for our uncivill speeches which the world calls uncivill and railing as because we thou people and say thou to the particular and you to a number The Scriptures witness that all the holy men of God evermore practised the same thoued one and yeaed many thoued Kings thoued God thoued Christ

and they have no rest but in a form without The Saints Sabbath is within where Christ is come to give them rest and they are ceased from their own works The worlds Psalms are without them and they

they ask and thereby is the Father glorified for they ask in Faith nothing wavering All you who read these things read your selves where you are whether you be within among the Saints or without among the world The Condition and Portion of the People of England who have long flattered themselves with the Church Ministry and Ordinances but upon tryall are found to be the Synagogues of Satan

humility you plainly appeare to be children of the Devil who is the father of all pride and self-exaltation you bear the Image of the Serpent you speckled ones who have painted your selves in the various colours to make your selves seem glorious in the eyes of others that they may bow and worship Wo unto thou that hast set thy self in the seat of God thou art weighed and found wanting thy pride is for the fire and thy Honour for the Dust for now is the Lord coming to enquire after his Wool and Flax which he gave to cloath the naked of all sorts with which thou hast decked the Serpent
