them or cast them out of the synagogues and after endanger their lives It is answered in the 16 Chapter of John 2 and 3 verses by our Lord Jesus Christ who hath said these things will they do unto you and why The reason given by the Lord Jesus is this because saith he they have not known the Father nor me It is evident therefore and that by the Scriptures or prophecie of Christ that ignorant men who know neither God nor Christ but are strangers unto them will deal so hardly and cruelly with the Saints and true believers in Christ as to Excommunicate them or put them out of the synagogues and after endanger their lives by possessing the ignorant and ungodly with a false confidence that to kill the Saints under the notion of Hereticks is good service and done for the glory of God But these things the Saints have been in expectation of and they come not untold of by Christ nor unlooked for by them for these things have I told you said Christ that when the time shall come yee may remember that I told you of them John 16.4 And in the dayes of the Prophet Isaiah the Lord had a broken hearted People who trembled at the word of the Lord for which cause they were hated and excommunicated or cast out of Church fellowship and they that hated them and cast them out pretended the glory of God in that act of excommunication or casting them out as aforesaid but the Lord sent his Prophet with a Message that included two things First Gods owning of that broken hearted people who trembled at his word when they were excommunicated or cast out by their pretended Brethren who covered their act of excommunicatition or casting them out with the pretence of bringing glory to God And secondly Gods dislike unto and displeasure against them that so excommunicated or cast them out from amongst them saying hear the word of the Lord all ye that tremble at his word your Brethren that hated you and cast you out for my names sake said Let the Lord be glorified but he shall appear to your joy and they sall be ashamed Isa 66.5 First It is to be observed that God promised to appear to them that were Excommunicated or cast out and not only appear but he also promised to appear to their joy And if to their joy that were so Excommunicated or cast out then for their encouragement and for the owning of them And Secondly It is to be observed that God promised to appear to them that did Excommunicate or cast them out but it should be to their shame and if to their shame then not to the owning of them in their Act of Excommunication or as aforesaid They that are Excommunicated or cast out because of their love and faithfulnesse to the Lord need not to be ashamed though they that hate them and cast them our account them hereticks and pretend they do it for the Glory of God Their Excommunicating or casting of them out cannot hinder God for owning of them nor for appearing to them for their joy For he hath promised to appear to them for their joy that are so hated and cast out and to the shame of them that so hates them and casts them out as aforesaid Who are they that Christ said the Ignorant who know not God should Excommunicate or put out of the Synagogues and after endanger their live John 16.2.3 I answer First They are such as are beloved of Christ and commanded to continue in his love John 15.9 Secondly they are such as are in Christ Jesus as branches in a Vine who are purged that they may bring forth fruit unto God John 15.1 2 3 4 5. Thirdly they are such as are the friends of Christ who manifest their love to him by abiding in him and keeping his Commandements John 15.4 14. For what cause do they Hate Persecute Excommunicate and endanger the lives of the Friends of Christ who abide in him and keep his Commandements I answer First because they are chosen of Christ Secondly Because they are ordained that they should goe and bring forth fruit unto God John 15.16 Thirdly Because they abide in the Doctrine of Christ and love one another as he hath commanded John 15.17 Fourthly Because they are not of the World but are chosen out of the World as Christ hath declared and said John 15.19 Are these the causes why the people of God reproachfully called Quakers together with the Saints and Believers in Christ are hated persecuted and Excommunicated I answer Yea these are the very causes because they abide in Christ and keep his commands For if they should depart from Christ and go into the spirit of the World and cease being Godly and Righteous and learn to be deboyst and wicked and comply with the spirit of the World in its wayes and Worships then persection against them would be at an end and cease And if they should daily erre and go astray from the waies of God and follow the devices and desires of their own hearts and cease bringing forth fruit unto God disobey the Commands of Christ and daily offend against Gods Holy Laws and be miserable sinners then persecution would cease Who are they that are the haters and persecutors of the Friends of Christs Saints and Believers in him I answer First They are the World Secondly They are such as are haters of Christ for saith he If the World hate you ye know that it hated me before it hated you John 15.18 Thirdly They are such as are of the same nature and spirit which they were of that persecuted Christ who hath said by way of remembrance That the Servant is not greater then the Lord if they have persecuted me they will also persecute you John 15.20 Fourthly They are such as know not God as Christ hath said all these things will they do for my names sake because they know not him that sent me John 15.21 And they hated Christ without a cause John 15.25 So do they hate his friends without a cause for if they could depart from him and disobey his commands and enter into the spirit of the World again and be one with the world in profanenesse and will-worship then persecution would cease as Christ hath said If ye were of the World the World would love his own but because I have chosen you out of the profanenesse will-worship and spirit of the World therefore the World hateth you John 15.19 And inasmuch as the friends of Christ are hated without a cause there is no just cause why the Saints and Believers in Christ should be hated and persecuted But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit even so it is now Gal. 4.29 But as then he that is born after the flesh had no right nor authority from God given to persecute him that was born after the spirit no more hath he now For they
