A93315	The worlds wonder, or the Quakers blazing starr: with an astronomical judgment given upon the same, from 2 Cor. 11.13, 14, 15. Proving them to be altogether deluded by Satan, both in their judgments and walkings: together with a probable conjecture of the end of the world, and the estate of things in the interval. / By Edmund Skipp preacher of the Gospel unto the people at Bodenham in Herefordshire.	Skipp, Edmund.	1655 (1655)	Wing S3949; Thomason E829_4; ESTC R207389	55,821	73

the Churches wherein I am bold these poor beguiled creatures through that mysterious spirit of deceit and lying in them do lay this thing unto my charge Fourthly they charge me that I never passed the new birth but am onely acted by my natural parts to all that I do If it be so Not passing the new birth I wish all natural men were so acted too that they might bear witness unto what they affirm Although I do know that a natural man may make a very large progress in a Gospel profession and conversation yet I am through the rich grace and love of God shed abroad in my heart able to give a perfect and experimental discovery unto such who are able to judg thereof by that one Spirit we have both received of that new birth or creation in Christ 2 Cor. 5.17 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for otherwise there could be but little sound peace or joy in my soul seeing I know very well how little satisfactory the utmost attainments in the first creation would be unto me that have so much knowledg in the second Adam if my knowledg were meerly notional and formal and besides I hope there hath been long ago and many times good satisfaction given unto most of the Lords servants with whom there hath been mutual givings and receivings of testimonies and manifestations in that one common grace of God in Christ to the rejoycing of each others hearts and the building up of one another in that grace and faith wherein we were called But were it so that I lived in a Wilderness and all the men in the World were unsatisfied and ignorant in this thing so that I my self were knowingly satisfied and that upon good grounds it would be sufficient for my faith and hopes of an eternal weight of glory at the righteous revelation of the Judg of Heaven and Earthe and therefore let this unjust Charge prove a blank for all uses beside proving its original to be a spirit of Anitchrist and delusion Fifthly they charge me with back-sliding indeed in their senfe they may do so justly Back-sliding For it is the great mercy of God unto me I was delivered from under those grievous delusions and temptations unto which they are yet in bondage but that which they call back-sliding is my retuming back unto my God and my holding fast and contending for that faith which I had once received Jude 2. according to the minde of the Lord discovered Heb. 3.6 concerning the holding fast of confidence of rejoycing of hope firm unto the end Thus you may see that which they reckon my judgment is my mercy and that which they call my back-sliding is my owning and receiving my former principles and teachings according to truth Now let him that hath an eye see and who so hath an heart let him judg whence cometh this great mistake unjust judgment c. and when ye have well weighed these things ye shall finde it cannot stand with the honor of God to teach a people things which are not true as to my comfort and their shame doth clearly appear notwithstanding they pretend and say they were made to write these things as from the Lord. These five acousations are most that I have received from any of them and I suppose the most they were prompt with all from that spirit of deceit for had there been any more given in unto them it is like they would have disclosed it as well as this And it is not onely to myself they write thus but unto most people of any note or quality above others especially amongst those that make any profession of the ways of the Lord differing from the men of the world as I hear by several and by their own confession to myself formerly And I would have all the world observe how they write with abundance of railing and clamorous words and unjust accusations as you have heard me prove and their language is much after the same sort unto whom they write which maketh me note that they are exemplary one to another in their writing taking up the same form of words and it teacheth me also to consider how Satan is no Niggard as we say of his skill and power for they pretend they are abundantly filled up with matter of that nature as though they could never vent themselves of it all Now I have laid down the work or deceit it self in this nature I will return unto my second Rule The second Rule to find the colour in the Scripture which to finde out where Satan doth colour over and blinde this fallacy with some Scripture words or instances First for their railing and reviling language they will not own it as such but count it a sharp rebuking and reptoving men as though they had some special authority or power of truth in them acting of them thereunto and so Satan doth hide this deceit under that command which Paul giveth Titus in Chap. 1. vers 13. where he biddeth him rebuke the Cretians and others sharply and Chap. 3.15 he biddeth him rebuke with all authority and they observe the Prophet Nathans coming unto David and saying Thou art the man and why may not they who say they are sent of the Lord as Nathan was speak in that manner unto men be they Rulers or others seeing that God is no respecter of persons and besides this Satan cannot be ignorant of the manner of Christs reproving Peter when he called him Satan These and such like Examples carry out the deceit very fairly unto such who are ignorant of his devices Secondly as for their charging men with hypocrisie backsliding and being but onely in the first Adam for they judg all beside themselves to be ignorant of the new-birth be they never so well gifted and taught of God and the like it proceedeth from that blindness which Antichist hath cast in upon their understandings from whence they cannot chuse but speak evil of the things they know not Jude 10. And so judging all men to be in this estate they take the Example of CHRIST in calling them Hypocrites as he did the Scribes and Pharises and pronouncing Woes against them as they do against many people and places as they have told me themselves how they have declared Judgment and Woes against a place called Kendall in the North I know not well in what County it is but I will onely say this one word unto ye O people of Kendall if it be for your holding fast unto the faith of the Gospel and your bold courage to withstand Antichrist and all his mysterious actings of unrighteousness that you are so vilified and disowned by them it may be your grace and glory but if it be through a kinde of wilfulness and spirit of malice revenge and bitterness against the poor creatures that you are so carried against them I commend you not Therefore look unto it O what a vail or cover hath Satan got himself here under
