A47144	A Farther account of the great divisions among the Quakers in Pensilvania, &c. as appears by another of their books lately come over from thence, intituled, Some reasons and causes of the late separation, that hath come to pass at Philadelphia, betwixt us, called by some of the seperate meeting, and others that meet apart from us : more particularly opened, to vindicate and clear us and our testimony in that repsect, viz. : that the seperation lieth at their door, and they, and not we, are justly chargeable with it : with an apology for the present publication of these things.

when Achan had Transgressed in the Camp of Israel and had hid the accursed thing the Anger of the Lord was kindled against them until he was discovered and Judgment executed against him And seeing it is so that many evil and hurtful Opinions that are as poysonous Weeds have had too much place among us but have so secretly lurked under Ground and yet have brought forth bad Fruit above Ground for it is the Nature of Errors in Doctrine to produce Errors of Practice and evil Conversation of Life that we did not know that such bad Fruits did spring from such bad Principles of Doctrine that were held by them but we did rather impute them to some other Cause than to Ignorance or Error in Judgment We have great cause to rejoyce and bless God that his Light hath made this Discovery among us for the Light discovereth Darkness as well of Errour and Unbelief in relation to Doctrine as in matters of bad Conversation And we are fully perswaded that it is an infallible sign of that approching Glory of God's blessed Day that is more abundantly to be revealed among us and in us which many of our faithful Friends have fore-told as nigh at hand and all the Faithful have much longed and waited for and continually pray for And it will have a service to bring many to Truth that have stood at a distance because of Offences and Stumbling-blocks that have been laid in their way through the Ignorance of many especially who have professed the Truth with us after some sort but have not received the true and sound Knowledge of it and too many that have presumed to preach and pray in our Meetings their way both of preaching praying hath been very offensive to many tender-hearted people by their pretending greatly to the Spirit 's Leadings and Movings when they have expressed very unsound and unsavoury words and have greatly discovered their unskilfulness in the Mystery of Christ both outwardly as he came in the Flesh died and rose again and is ascended and the great benefit of his outward Coming to men as so known and believed by them and as inwardly revealed so that many who have come to our Meetings have been as a hungry Child that greatly needed the Breast and thirsted for the sincere Milk of the Word having heard a great Noise of it but when they came to suck they did not find that which answered their desire and went away dissatisfied and the Breast it self was so daubed over with what was unpleasant to them as Mustard or Chimney-Sout is to the Mouth or Taste of a Sucking Child But God having so ordered it by his great Love that by his marvellous Providence discovering these things that hath been a long and great hurt and hindrance to the prevailing of Truth among us and causing his Light to spring up more clearly among us that Christ and the Faith of him both without us and within us is sincerely and powerfully preached by some of God's raising up among us more clearly and fully than many have formerly known although the Doctrine is the same in matter and substance that the most faithful and foundest Friends and Brethren have all along held from the beginning and we are infallibly assured this present Exercise that is at present so heavy and grievous to many honest hearted for want of a through discerning and understanding the Mind and Counsel of God therein and his blessed Purpose for the advancement of his Truth shall greatly tend to their Comfort in due time and to the Comfort of many to raise them up to give Glory to God with high Praises in their Hearts and Mouths for what he hath begun to do and will finish and perfect in his own time for the Exaltation of his own Name and the Name of his dear Son that the Mystery of him even that great Mystery of Godliness which is Christ come in the Flesh and God manifest in the Flesh even in that Body of Flesh through Death to reconcile us unto God with the blessed Effects and Fruits of it inwardly witnessed by the Revelation of him in us may be yet more gloriously revealed that the Souls and Hearts of many may be affected with the same and overcome therewith to love him and live to him who died for them and rose again and to love God and live to God through him in all holy Obedience who gave him freely unto them And though the Adversaries of Truth may for a small time rejoyce a little and seem to be gratified and strengthned in their Enmity against Truth and the sincere Lovers and Professors of it so as even to seem to glory over them yet after a little time their joy will be turned into sorrow and their great glorying and seeming gratifyings into Discontents and Frettings when they shall be made to see and acknowledge the Hand of the Lord in all these things to their great Amazement and Disappointment for the good of all that love him and the Exaltation of his Name and promoting Truth and Righteousness in the Earth that his Kingdom may come in greater Power and Glory and his Will may be done on Earth as it is in Heaven And as for all such who are by a false Spirit acted to Prophecy false things concerning us and to pronounce Woes against us and our present Work and Testimony as if both it and we should fall and come to nothing as some have done Our Faith and Trust is in God and our Dependance and Reliance is on him whose we are and whom we serve and for whose Glory and Honour we are zealously concerned in this present Service with true Humility of Mind and earnest Prayer unto God that he will preserve and strengthen us to the end and make our Almond Rods to bud and blossom while others that resist the Truth of our Testimony will wither for of a Truth God is with us and on our side whose blessed Power and Presence we feel to encourage and strengthen us and therefore let such who gain-say the Truth of our Testimony and from a rash head-strong and wilful Spirit make opposition to the same take heed what they do lest they be found Fighters against God for what is of God will stand let ever so many high and bold Pretenders to that which they are not real Professors contradict it and lest that be fulfilled concerning them that is written Acts 13.41 Behold ye Despisers and wonder and perish for I work a Work in your Days a Work which ye shall in no wise believe though a man declare it unto you compared with Hab. 1.5 And further the false Reports and Rumors that are already spread abroad concerning us by many laying all fault upon us of this present Breach and Division and loading not only us but the Truth it self with many false and bitter Aspertions Reflections and Calumnies will be cause enough we hope to all impartial people to whose hands this shall
