Godhead is dead because thou saist it is revealed in every man so then if that spirit in that body be not Christ without that body but both body and spirit make that man Christ Jesus And thou ownest salvation by that spirit onely without that body thou ownest not salvation by Christ O Jeffery why wilt thon deny the Lord that hath bought thee with his own blood and bring upon thy self destruction for the Godhead dyed not as I have told thee but that body was made a curse by dying that cursed death upon the Tree to take off the curse from them that believe that sacrifice for sin which was a sweet smelling savour to the Lord. By which body offered up he hath for ever perfected them that are sanctified which sacrificed body and offered up bloud if thou reject how canst thou have thy cursed sins pardoned thy defiled conscience purged for without shedding of bloud there is no remission But I will tell thee my Faith I do own salvation cometh alone by that man Christ Jesus the only Son of God who was born of that Espoused Virgin Mary who was Crucified at Jerusalem by which cursed death he did there make an attonement for all and full satisfaction to God the Father for the sins of all that believe in him from the heart and obey his holy will revealed in his word the holy Scriptures of truth that are able to make the man of God wise unto salvation 1 Pet. 2.24 Heb. 10.14 Joh. 20.31 Mat. 7.24,25 Gal. 3.13 I could mind thee with many more Scriptures if thou wouldst hearken thereunto The holy Spirit of God I own and esteem for it is that which First made me to see into my sins and my cursed estate by sin according as is made known in the Scriptures of truth 2ly It did shed the love of God abroad in my soul how that Christ had dyed for my sins 3ly He did help me to lay hold upon the hope set before me without whose help I can do nothing 4ly He did work in my Soul a cruel hatred against all known sins in thoughts words and works 5ly He did work in my Soul a great love to my God and to his Son Jesus to his Children to all known good in words and works in my self and others 6ly He did assure me of redemption of my soul and forgiveness of my sins through the bloud of my Lord Jesus that was shed upon the Cross for me 7ly He did seal home the promises of Eternal Glory to my Sonl promised in the Scriptures of truth to the Sons of God 8ly He did work in my Soul holy reformation and godly resolutions to do and obey whatever my God shall make known unto me to be his will and mind by his spirit and word the Scriptures and that unto death 9ly It did fill my Soul with praises to the God of my life night and day praising him in the spirit admiring his love to my soul in redeeming it with so great a price as the blood of his own Son 10ly The holy spirit did also comfort me and quicken me and made me greatly to rejoyce with Joy unspeakable and full of Glory the which spirit of my God still is with me and giveth me that peace no man can take from me by whose help my desire is to my God I might still be preserved and hold fast the precious faith which I have attained through the Grace of God and my Lord Jesus Christ until he shall come in flaming fire to render vengeance upon the wicked and punish with everlasting destruction from his presence them that obey not the Gospel of Christ and be admired of them that believe Thomas Manning This Testimony of mine is owned by God the Father by his Son Jesus by the holy Spirit by the holy Scriptures by the holy Prophets by the holy Apostles Thou provest thine by two of thine own Friends God the Father I know his Son Jesus I know his holy Spirit I know the holy Scriptures I know to be the mind and will of God but who these thy Witnesses be I know not but if they be Angels come from Heaven if they despise the blood of my Lord Jesus Christ or declare any thing contrary to his will revealed in the Scriptures of truth I do not own them Thomas Manning I received thy paper and thou saist as soon as thou hadst looked on a few words thou saidst thou soon espied my subtilty Friend I had no subtilty in my heart but I plainly wrote the things I own thou askest me how I can prove Christ in that body to be Christ without that body I can prove it both by Pauls testimony and also by the same spirit of God the which Paul did prove it by who told the Corinthians the Fathers drank of the Rock that followed them and that Rock was Christ and he also told the Colossians that the mystery which had been hid from ages and generations past was Christ within the hope of glory and also Christs visible appearance came in that present age but his invisible appearance had been hid from ages and generations past for Christ was with his Church in the Wilderness Again thou saist that body and spirit in that body maketh that man Christ Jesus Now the spirit in that body was the Godhead and thou saist that the Godhead dyed not and thou speakest true for so say I so then it was only that part which the Holy Ghost took from the woman the which died and not the Godhead which both was and is the spirit of God for it was God and the Woman that made the visible man Christ for he was made of a Woman made under the Law as saith the Scripture for Mary she knew no visible man Now cursed be that spirit that shall deny the blood of Christ or the end for which Christs body was offered up and blood was shed for I do believe that all the world were reconciled to God by the death of his Son and that all men were freed from their outward offerings for sin by that one offering and that after the shedding of the blood of that visible man Christ upon the Cross there was to be no more outward killing the sacrifice nor yet shedding of blood for remission of sins But this was not the flesh and the blood which Christ speaks of when he was upon the earth when he said He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood he dwelleth in me and I in him and he was then upon the earth as a man like one of us sin only excepted when he spake these words So Friend if thou knowest no other body nor blood to feed upon but that which dyed and was shed out of Christs body without the gates of Jerusalem thy Soul may perish for all the knowledge which thou hast of the Scriptures Now Christ in the days of his flesh exhorted people to believe in the Light and to bring their deeds

can sit down together in silence with your Hats on and as every ones mind is turn'd into the Spirit of Truth and also kept under subjection by the power of God here every one is kept in the true worshipping of God although there be never a word declared nor spoken and yet the men may keep their Hats on if they please but and if any amongst you pretend to be moved by the Spirit to go to prayer then both Men and Women they either stand up or else they kneel down and the Men they all pull off their Hats which owns your form of prayer and herein you do both worship Reverence and Adore the form outwardly and the words more then you do the word of Life in your own particulars wherein alone the Souls salvation is placed and thus it hath been the work of the Spirit of Antichrist throughout all ages to lead people to give more honour to the form of founding Brass or tinkling Cymbals more then to the power of God that 's in them wherein alone mans happiness stands So Friends I would have you to vindicate this practice of yours if you can otherwise it is high time for the Quakers in general to lay aside their worship in reverencing and adoring the form outwardly But yet I would have none that read this Book to rejoyce because that I have written against the Quakers Ministers but let those that think they stand take heed lest they fall Friends whatsoever is written or given forth from me in this Book which is on my part it is written either from a measure of that Spirit which hath power to open my understanding and also the Book of the Scriptures or else it is given forth from Sathan in me transformed into an Angel of Light wherefore to the Light that shines in all your Consciences that read this Book do I refer this Book for Judgement But the Quakers from their general Meeting say That I writ from an erronious and dark Spirit but that lies upon them yet to prove I have yet another Book that is written in and from the Spirit of God the tendency of which Book is for the overthrowing of all Antichrists Ministers in this Nation the which will abundantly tend to the Honour and Glory of God and also greatly to the outward advantage of the chief Men of this Nation and also will bring a Blessing both upon them and their generation If any one has freedom to be at the Charge to Reprint this Book to give it away when he hath done he may freely do it Jeffery Bullock This following is an Abstract of what George Bishop writ against that PAPER of ORDERS aforementioned which was subscribed by Eleven of your Ministers viz. George Whitehead John Whitehead Thomas Green Thomas Briggs Alexander Parker Josiah Cole Richard Farnsworth Thomas Loe. Stephen Crisp John Moon James Parkes IN the Apostles dayes were Pastors Teachers Elders c. but in this day the Spirit it self is the Pastor Teacher Elder c. So that if the Spirit move any to Declare or Speak that is the Apostle Teacher Elder c. So that we have not now things in the disposition of Persons nor according to Persons but in or according to that power which moves in every one which being kept too preserves out of the Apostacy so I know no Pastor Teacher Elder c. But as I find moving in any to any of these things for that is the Elder the Apostle Teacher c. and that which would be otherwise then this leads into the Apostacy and will seek to bring dark night in again and so will place the Thing to the Person and not the Person to the thing and for my part if that day should prevail or those things which Your PAPER seems to hold forth and inforce I have no other Expectation but that the same exercise we shall receive at your hands as we received at the hands of those who would have held us in Captivity in the day that the Lord first visited us The Seed is come and the Heir in many who is not to be under Tutors and Governours which must not be limited to turn unto which or for the good of which the Ministry was sent and in which it is to end it being the end of the Ministry unto which its Crown is to be laid down as to that which is worthy and this is no derogation to the Ministry Now for You because You have Ministred and the presence of the Lord hath been with You for the good of those that are to be Heirs of Salvation to think to settle Your self in the place of the Heir and to inforce Your Orders as instead or over that this is not to allow that the Seed is Come or that it is of age for to abide in the House for ever You must not think that because the Lord hath wrought by You that therefore he will not work otherwise This is the Error into which all have fallen that are turned from the Truth Therefore seek not to undervalue that to which You were sent to Minister nor endeavour to keep under the Seed for that will Break You to pieces The Revelation of God is to his Seed and his Secrets he reveals to it for which he made the World and for whose sake it is continued and now the Seed is raised to reign over all which will Cast You out and the Parable of the Husband-man will be fulfilled upon You. It is my Love that gives me this plainness of speech for I am Jealous of every thing that may bring dark Night over again or that may hinder Your Work or lose Your Reward with the Lord for the Son must abide in the House for ever but not the Servant therefore take heed how You set up Your Laws and Constitutions over his Dominion or how You take upon You to make Laws to his Dominion who lives for ever Many have attempted it and have been Broken to pieces and if You do the same the same will be Your Portion from the Hand of the Lord.
