A30554	The true Christian religion again discovered after the long and dark night of apostacy, which hath overshadowed the whole world for many ages ... by a friend to all people, especially them that feares God, and loves righteousness.	Burrough, Edward, 1634-1662.	1658 (1658)	Wing B6044; ESTC R213868	19,745	24

hath given light to every man that cometh into the world this is according the Scripture as you may read Joh. 8.12 Ioh. 1.9 and though they turn people from darkness to the light of Christ within them exhorts people to hearken to that within them not to seek a Christ without them to ascend or descend to fetch him these Doctrines are perfectly according to the Scripture for you may read Acts 26.18 Paul saith he was sent to turn people from darkness to the light and from the power of Satan to the power of God and Rom. 10 you may read the Apostle saith What saith it The Word is nigh thee in thy heart that is The Word of Faith which we preach and they were not to say Who shall ascend or descend to fetch Christ And though they tell people they must witness Christ in them or else they cannot be saved this also is according to the Scriptures as you may read 2 Cor. 13. chap. the Apostle saith Jesus Christ is in you except ye be reprobates And though they say Christ is the Word of God and doth deny the Scriptures to be the Word by which the World was made this Doctrine also is according to the Scriptures for we read Rev. 19.13 that the Name of Jesus is called the Word of God And Luke 1. of the Scriptures it is said they are a Declaration by those which were eye-witnesses and Ministers of the Word And though they press people to perfection and doth say Men may be perfect upon Earth and compleat in Christ Jesus this Doctrine also is according to the Scriptures for you may read 1 Cor. 2. chap and 6 of some that were perfect who were men upon earth and the Ministers of Christ spoke Wisdom among them that were already perfect and Col. 2·10 the Apostle saith unto the Church who were men in this life upon Earth he saith to them Ye are compleat in him And though they press the people to live without sin and doth say They that are born of God doth not commit sin this also is according to the Scripture for it is Christs command Mat 5 Be perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect and 1 Joh. 3. there it is spoken of some that were the sons of God already and he saith Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin for he cannot sin because he is born of God and saith he A● he is Christ so are we in this present world And now all people may understand that in all these Doctrines which they do hold forth they do fully agree with the Scriptures and they bear witness to the truth of their Doctrines that the servants of God and the Apostles of Christ did preach the very same things for Doctrine as is done at this day and so these Doctrines are not to be wondred at not so much as they are by the wicked to be cryed against for heresie and error and these few particulars onely I have mentioned at which the people of this age the most stumble at and all other things whatsoever which is held forth for Doctrines unto people I am able to prove them by the Scriptures that in all things they are according to the Scripture not different or contrary to the Scriptures so that all people may take notice and see that whatsoever they do practice for Religion and holds forth for Doctrine they do herein justly according to the Scriptures and they justifie their practises doctrines in these things mentioned and in whatsoever else can be objected by any man And this I shall take in hand to prove before all the World That the people of God called Quakers doth practice nothing for Religion or preach for Doctrine but what is perfectly according to the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament and in the fulfilling of them and so they are proved to be of that true christian Religion which is according to the Scriptures and so may fully claim protection and preservation in their practice of Religion And this is to be considered by the Protector and all Magistrates and people in these Nations that they may know what the true Christian Religion is and who is in it and who is not in it and for this purpose is this written for the satisfaction of all people that they may see who it is that hath a right and priviledg to be protected upholden by vertue of the Oath Likewise all may understand That what such practice and profes for Religion is not without good ground but that the very same things were practised by them that were of the true Christian Religion and preached for Doctrine by them that were Saints which is now practised and held forth by the people of God and the Scriptures doth fully bear witness in all things shewing that such are guided by the same spirit which the Saints were guided by in ages past and as they had so have these the testimony that they are of God and that the whole world lies in wickedness And as concerning their being persecuted by many of the Rulers Priests and People though they be sent to prison and banished out of Towns and whipped and beaten and scorned and reviled this is also according to the Scriptures and the Scriptures is fulfilled upon them for the same things were done to the Apostles and to the servants of the Lord as you may read through the Acts the people mocked the Apostles and slandered them and said they were full of new Wine and the chief Priests conspired against Christ and the Apostles and incensed the Magistrates against them and the Magistrates put Christ and many of the Apostles in prison and caused them to be whipped and beaten to be banished many other cruelties done unto them the Scripture is full to prove this from the beginning to the end of it and Christ said They shall persecute you and speak all manner of evil of you for my Names sake and as they have done unto me so shall they do unto you ye shall be hated of Nations And the Apostle said All that will live godly in Christ Iesus shall suffer persecution So that all people may see though the people of the Lord be persecuted and reviled and imprisoned and cruelty done unto them and though it be done by the chief Magistrates and chief Rulers and the wise men of this age all this is according to the Scriptures and that the Scriptures might be fulfilled and the same things which are now done unto the people of God were done unto the people of God in ages past by the same instruments to wit the Rulers and Magistrates and by the same means to wit by the information and false accusations of the chief Priests and Teachers in Jeremiah you may read how the Priests sought to take away his life and you may read how the chief Priests consulted against Christ and how they complained to the Magistrates against him
