A84808	Saul's errand to Damascus: with his packet of letters from the high-priests, against the disciples of the Lord. Or, A faithful transcript of a petition contrived by some persons in Lancanshire, who call themselves ministers of the gospel, breathing out threatnings and slaughters against a peaceable & godly people there, by them nick-named Quakers. Together with the defence of the persons thereby traduced, against the slanderous and false suggestions of that petition, and other untruths charged upon them. Published to no other end, but to draw out the bowels of tender compassion from all that love the poor despised servants of Jesus Christ, who have been the scorn of carnal men in all ages.	Fox, George, 1624-1691.; Lawson, John, of Lancaster.	1653 (1653)	Wing F1894; Thomason E689_17; ESTC R206937	30,408	48

Heaven or Hell but through death the wicked shall be turned into hell and all them that forget God there to be tormented there is a hell thou shalt finde it Heaven is Gods Throne and heavenly notions within shall be shaken for God is pure and nothing that is unclean shall stand before him and he hath said he will dwell in man Qu. Whether the ministration of the Ministery by man is to continue till the end or not Answ The ministration of the world is the Ministery of man and doth not lead to an end but keeps in time and that must have an end for it is not of God The Ministery of God is to draw people up to himself but that is not of man nor by man nor according to man for Paul was made a Minister according to the will of God who had not received it of man neither was it taught him of man and was a Minister of the Spirit but the Ministers of the world receive their learning at Oxford and Cambridge and are taught of men and speak a divination of their own brain which is conjuring and bewitch the people with those things which are carnal as to sprinkle Infants and tell them of a Sacrament which there is no Scripture for and saying they are the Ministers of Christ and act those things which he forbids as to have the chiefest place in the Assemblies the uppermost room at feasts the greetings in markets and to be called of men Masters and with pretence make long prayers which Christ forbids and profess and say they are the Ministers of Christ wherein they shew themselves to be Antichrists And see if thou do not uphold these Antichrists and say they are the Ministers of Christ Qu. Whether the written Word I mean the Scriptures be the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes or not Answ The written Word is not the power of God nor the Scriptures are not the salvation but he that doth believe hath the life of them Who is born of God shall never die as it is written he that believeth is born of God and he that is born of God hath the witness in himself that God is the cause of mans salvation and not the Scripture nor the Letter James Nayler's Answer and Declaration touching some things charged upon him by the men aforesaid HAving heard of divers untruths cast upon me by some of the Priests in their high places though I stand only to the Lord in respect of my self yet lest any that love the truth should be led on by these false reports to speak evil of these things they know not I shall lay open the truth as it is revealed in me touching those things whereof I have been falsly accused Jude 1● First Concerning Jesus Christ That he is the eternal Word of God Revel 19.13 1 Joh. 1.2 3 4 5. Joh. 1.14 by whom all things were made and are upholden which were before all time but manifested to the world in time for the recovery of lost man Which Word became flesh and dwelt amongst the Saints who is the same yesterday to day and for ever who did and doth dwell in the Saints who suffered and rose again and ascended into heaven and is set at the right hand of God Eph. 1.20 to whom all power is given in heaven and in earth who filleth all places is the light of the world but known to none but to those that receive and follow him Joh. 8.12 and those he leads up to God out of all the Wayes Works and Worships of the world by his pure light in them 2 Thes 2.8 whereby he reveals the man of sin and by his power casts him out and so prepares the bodies of the Saints a fit Temple for the pure God to dwel in with whom dwels no unclean thing and thus he reconciles God and man and the image of God 1 Cor. 3.16 17. which is in purity and holiness is renewed and the image of Satan which is all sin and uncleanness is defaced and none can witness Redemption 2 Cor. 5.18 19.

Concerning the Scriptures That they are a true Declaration of that Word which was in them that spoke them forth and are of no private interpretation but were given forth to be read and fulfilled in the Saints Rev. 22.18 as they were given forth by the Holy Ghost without adding or diminishing and were not given forth for men to make a Trade on to get mony by but as they are they are profitable for Doctrine 2 Tim 3.16 17. for Reproof for Correction for Instruction in righteonsness that the man of God may be perfect thorowly furnished unto every good work But they who trade in the Letter and are ignorant of the Mystery deny all perfection and none can rightly understand the Scriptures but they who read them with the same Spirit that gave them forth 1 Cor. 2.14 15. for the natural man understands not the things of God for they are spiritually discerned 3. Concerning Baptism The true Baptism is that of the Spirit with the Holy Ghost and with fire Baptized by one Spirit into one Body not the washing away the filth of the flesh but the answer of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ Acts 1.5 without which no other Baptism can save us Gal. 3.27 they being but figures or shadows but this Baptism of Christ is the substance whereby we are Baptized into his death and those that are baptized into Christ have put on Christ 4.
