Joh. 3. 14. 15. Here is also laid down in this treatise something, concerning election and and [sic] predestination, which is so much spoken of, and how they may know their election, something concerning Christ being the way to the Father; and how, and concerning Christ, the mediatour of the new covenants, and the end of the old, and tythes are ended. ... Lastly, here is part of a dispute, held between two chief priests, and two men that came and met with them, and the people at Chadwitch in Worcestershire; ... to clear the truth form accusations, held forth by those men that the world scornfully calleth Quakers.

Cor. 10.15.16.17 Shaking Quaking and trembling is no new thing which is despised in this generation but witnessed in the Scriptures amongst the people of God then as the Scriptures declareth c. And though the serpents seed do revile the people of God by names of reproch yet thus saith the Lord Hearken unto me ye that know righteousnesse the people in whose heart is my law fear ye not the reproaches of men neither be ye afraid of their revilings for the moth shall eat them up like a garment and the worm shall eat them like wool but my righteousnesse shall be for ever and my salvation from generation to generation read Isa 51.7.8 And though we be reproached and called by the name of Quakers reproachfully yet the power we witnesse and the salvation which power in other generations was witnessed amongst the people of God that witnessed both shaking trembling and quaking according to the declaration left for a witnesse upon record in the scriptures For Moses the servant of the Lord did exceedingly fear and quake as for proof you may read Hebr. 12.21 and Act. 7.22 and it Moses had been here now and witnessed such a condition of quaking the Priests and people of England many of them would have been ready to have reproached Moses and have called him a Quake as they do reproach the people of God under the name of Quakers Secondly Davids flesh trembled Psalm 119.120 and he roared by reason of the disquietnesse of his heart Psal 38.8 Psal 22.1 Thirdly Job saith that trembling took hold on his flesh Job 21.5.6 And at this saith he my heart trembleth and is removed out of its place Job 37.1 Fourthly The Lord sent Isaiah to the people to speak his word saying Hear the word of the Lord all ye that tremble at his word Isaiah 66.5 and Isaiah and those trembling people and such as the Lord had given him were for signes and wonders in Israel Isa 8.16.17 18.

only is not able to teach all gospel truths nor sufficient to lead to salvation such as say so are lyars against the truth the true light and the spirit of truth therefore enemies to Christ and the gospel For the Lord Jesus hath said that he is the light of the world and those that follow him shall not walk in darknesse but have the light of life eternall life and so assurance of salvation who is the authour of eternall salvation to all that obey him the light and the way to the Father and the true light of the world that lighteth every man that cometh into the world Ioh. 1.9 Ioh. 8.12 Ioh. 14.6 1 Pet. 2.9.10 Heb. 5.9 Tenthly But such has say the light of the world which is the true light Christ Jesus that lighteth every man that cometh into the world is not sufficient to salvation being obeyed and followed without some other help such as so say speak they know not what unadvisedly and such questions the power and authority of the true light Christ Jesus and knows not that he is perfectly able to save to the uttermost all those that come unto God by him and the authour of eternall salvation to all that obey him only Heb. 7.24 25. Heb. 5.7 8 9. Eleventhly Such as say the light which is Christ by his spirit opening the mystery is not able to teach all the perfect knowledge of the truth such as say so are against Christs doctrine in the gospel ministration and against him Antichristian for he who is the true light and lighteth every man that cometh into the world saith that all that obey him the true light shall be saved by him only and that all that obey him the true light shall not walk in darknesse but be led out of darknesse into the light of life and so into eternall life by him the true light and perfect Saviour to all such for he is perfectly able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by him the true light Christ Jesus and to such as obey him he is the authour of eternall salvation who is the true light and lighteth every man that cometh into the world but is the condemnation of such as after manifestation do wilfully sin against love tendered and mercy profered who do hate the light and love their evill deeds and darknesse rather then the light Ioh. 3.19 20. Heb. 10.25 26. 2 Thessalonians 1.6 7 8 9. Iude 4. 2 Thessalonians 1.12 Twelfthly Christ Jesus the light of the world hath said who is the true light and lighteth every man that cometh into the world that the Spirit of truth coming to be manifested within should guide them and teach them all things being obeyed and bring all things to remembrance and guide into all truth Iohn 14.16 17 and 26. Iohn 16.13 14. Then such as say this spirit is not sufficient to teach all things being obeyed and such as so say and say it is not sufficient to guide into all truth being come and walked in without some other help such questions the authority of the spirit and affronts the Lord Jesus by contradicting his own sweet gospel discipline doctrine and promise but such as do so and b●ing a contrary doctrine who love not the Lord Jesus Christ let them be Anathema Maran-atha accursed with a curse 1 Cor. 16.22 Gal. 1.8 9. Therefore blessed are they that obey the true light and follow the counsell and teachings of ●he spirit of truth that they may know the spirit of the Father speaking in them and through them and so know the free love of the Lord wrought in their souls by the working of the divine power according to the good pleasure of his will in the spirits teachings and sweet gospel ministration through the riches of the Fathers love sending the spirit of his son in their hearts whereby they cry Abba Father Luk. 12.12 Mat. 10.20 2 Corinthians 6.16 2 Peter 1.2 3. Galatians 4.6 7. Such as aforetime did obey the light and the teachings of the spirit were made able ministers of the gospel of Christ Act. 2.4 2 Cor. 3.6 Joh. 19.19 20 21 22. Act. 4. ch Act. 7. ch Act. 1.22 23 24 c. Heb. 8.10 11. in the new covenant of grace according to the Fathers teachings though some of them outwardly were ignorant and unlearned men so that they confounded the great Rabbies and Greek Latine and Hebrew scholars and the Jewish chief Priests so that they cryed out to the magistrates counsellours and governou s to cause them to be persecuted beaten and abused imprisoned and threatned to speak no more in the name of Jesus and the great rabby docto●s and chiefest of the English Priests if they might have their wills would do so now to such as have been with Jesus and they seek to quench the light and spirit but shall not be able to do it for it will powerfully appear in sons and daughters in the spirits ministration and the teachings thereof and so thereby they may take notice that the schollars of Christ are brought up at Emanuels school taught of the Lord according to his promise Act. 4.12 13.

Concerning Election and Predestination Touching election God sees not as man ungenerated sees for men in that state and condition sees naturally and so discerns nor the things of the spirit of God because they are spiritually discerned 1. Cor. 2.14 but God sees spiritually with that spiritual eye sees althings as they are whence they are how they are and those that he did doth predestinate he fore-knew and saw into the mistery which was and is in such revealed and revealing in which mistery in the creature he did and doth in that mistery with his all seeing eye see something good which afterwards in his due time were through Christ in them and is in such revealed and revealing according to the working of his divine power and had not God foreseen that how would it as it was and is in such have been manifested and revealed according to the working of his power that through their love and obedience to the truth according to choice in the royall acception through their obedience to the truth upon manifestation through the spirit continuance therein after that they were sealed their souls was also purified and that which so sealed and purified their souls was revealed and known working within in the mistery and the pure love enjoyed through the unsealing or opening of the same within them who were born again and the seed of God was within them and in that seed were their souls through the obedience to the light and truth purified and elected stablished and confirmed and they therein and by the working of the divine power joyned to the Lord and so both Jew Greek Barbarian Scythian bond and free male and female come into the unity of all so●ts that obeyed the truth and walked in the way Christ Jesus the light of the world they came thereby to the father and so knew the ground where election stood according to predestination and foresight of God which were manifested according to the working of his divine power and after the good pleasure of his will and that in the dispensation of the fulnesse of times he might gather them into Christ through their obedience to the light in the eternall truth in whom also we have obtained an inheritances being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh into unity and the election joining the soul to the seed after the counsell of his own will that we as they was should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ the foundation of choice and election in the ordination in whom we also trusted after that we heard the word of truth Rom. 10.6 7 8.
