A26199	The suffering condition of the servants of the Lord at this day vindicated and some reasons given why the people called Quakers do own the doctrine of Christ, to continue in it, and to meet together in the name and fear of the Lord, to wait upon him, and worship him in spirit and truth, not withstanding they meet with sufferings in this present time for so doing : Bristol, the 6th month, 1662 / John Audland.

we_o and_o the_o testimony_n of_o his_o spirit_n be_v so_o satisfactory_a in_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v persuade_v nothing_o will_v be_v able_a to_o separte_v we_o our_o strength_n be_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a to_o keep_v we_o through_o all_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n unto_o the_o end_n wait_v upon_o he_o and_o abide_v in_o his_o power_n he_o be_v able_a to_o save_v to_o the_o uttermost_a and_o this_o be_v the_o saint_n former_o persuade_v off_o that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v they_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n &_o they_o meet_v with_o many_o hardship_n &_o be_v oftentimes_o cruel_o entreat_v &_o shameful_o handle_v as_o the_o scripture_n declare_v yet_o through_o all_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o his_o people_n and_o comfort_v their_o heart_n in_o their_o follow_v of_o he_o and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n abound_v to_o they_o and_o in_o they_o and_o they_o be_v conqueror_n through_o he_o that_o love_v they_o now_o if_o any_o at_o that_o time_n deny_v the_o truth_n for_o fear_n of_o man_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n they_o come_v to_o suffer_v in_o there_o heart_n and_o to_o feel_v sorrow_n in_o their_o inward_a man_n for_o when_o iniquity_n enter_v into_o the_o heart_n it_o darken_v the_o understanding_n and_o also_o the_o creature_n lose_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o repentance_n and_o a_o return_v unto_o the_o lord_n iniquity_n grow_v more_o strong_a and_o love_n grow_v cold_a in_o such_o and_o the_o heart_n grow_v worse_a and_o worse_o and_o be_v harden_v by_o degree_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o people_n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o separation_n from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n &_o the_o feel_n and_o earnest_n of_o sorrow_n and_o tribulation_n upon_o every_o one_o that_o do_v evil_a therefore_o we_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o way_n which_o he_o have_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o that_o so_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o power_n to_o renew_v our_o strength_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v on_o in_o the_o path_n of_o life_n and_o nothing_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o we_o have_v in_o christ_n jesus_n shall_v tribulation_n or_o affliction_n or_o principality_n or_o power_n separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n shall_v force_n by_o carnal_a weapon_n or_o prison_n cause_v we_o to_o deny_v that_o which_o god_n have_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o be_v there_o power_n against_o we_o throne_n against_o we_o well_o this_o be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v always_o feel_v his_o love_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o if_o we_o suffer_v let_v we_o suffer_v here_o because_o of_o our_o faithfulness_n to_o the_o lord_n if_o we_o must_v go_v to_o prison_n let_v we_o stand_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o his_o love_n and_o life_n blessing_n and_o heavenly_a presence_n may_v be_v with_o we_o better_a to_o suffer_v outward_o in_o prison_n and_o hole_n &_o have_v the_o love_n and_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o we_o then_o to_o disobey_v the_o lord_n and_o walk_v contrary_a to_o his_o gift_n and_o so_o suffer_v inward_a anguish_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n and_o something_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o then_o who_o can_v speak_v peace_n to_o we_o if_o the_o lord_n speak_v trouble_v but_o if_o the_o lord_n speak_v peace_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n though_o man_n may_v speak_v trouble_n though_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n may_v rise_v high_a yet_o he_o that_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n he_o on_o make_v it_o to_o turn_v to_o his_o praise_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o it_o he_o will_v restrain_v and_o bless_v be_v they_o that_o have_v the_o lord_n with_o they_o on_o their_o side_n he_o speak_v peace_n to_o they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o his_o love_n refresh_v our_o heart_n and_o so_o to_o put_v all_o out_o of_o doubt_n we_o be_v persuade_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o nothing_o will_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o saviour_n and_o here_o it_o be_v good_a to_o a_o bide_v and_o not_o to_o give_v one_o foot_n back_o to_o give_v any_o ground_n unto_o the_o enemy_n but_o to_o continue_v where_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v with_o we_o and_o his_o bless_a presence_n with_o we_o comfort_v our_o heart_n which_o people_n do_v not_o find_v with_o they_o in_o disobedience_n walk_v and_o act_v contrary_a to_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v manifest_a to_o they_o and_o so_o we_o can_v put_v it_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o people_n who_o have_v any_o sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o their_o heart_n whether_o it_o can_v be_v safe_a for_o we_o to_o forsake_v the_o way_n of_o peace_n and_o rest_n which_o god_n have_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o and_o in_o which_o we_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n with_o we_o and_o to_o go_v into_o a_o way_n by_o force_n into_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o lead_v we_o where_o we_o shall_v find_v anguish_n and_o sorrow_n and_o something_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o where_o god_n will_v not_o speak_v peace_n to_o we_o but_o trouble_n sure_o we_o be_v persuade_v to_o abide_v in_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v manifest_a to_o we_o and_o our_o faith_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o god_n that_o nothing_o will_v be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n 6._o again_o we_o be_v persuade_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n meet_v together_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o serve_v he_o because_o we_o find_v the_o lord_n require_v of_o we_o to_o bear_v a_o faithful_a testimony_n and_o witness_v to_o his_o name_n and_o truth_n which_o he_o have_v make_v know_v to_o we_o at_o this_o day_n and_o though_o man_n require_v the_o contrary_a and_o will_v force_v we_o to_o yield_v yet_o we_o may_v not_o deny_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o truth_n but_o must_v bear_v witness_n to_o his_o name_n in_o obedience_n to_o his_o will_n for_o we_o be_v not_o our_o own_o but_o the_o lord_n neither_o must_v we_o serve_v ourselves_o nor_o do_v our_o own_o will_n nor_o the_o will_n of_o other_o who_o will_n be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o we_o must_v serve_v the_o lord_n and_o be_v faithful_a to_o he_o and_o we_o see_v we_o can_v serve_v two_o master_n nor_o can_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n if_o we_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n and_o follow_v after_o the_o lust_n of_o it_o and_o if_o we_o love_v any_o thing_n more_o than_o christ_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v true_a disciple_n and_o follower_n of_o he_o and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v why_o can_v you_o do_v as_o man_n will_v have_v you_o what_o god_n know_v your_o heart_n and_o you_o may_v keep_v your_o heart_n to_o yourselves_o and_o conform_v outward_o for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v answer_v nay_o we_o can_v because_o god_n require_v it_o of_o we_o to_o bear_v witness_n to_o his_o name_n and_o truth_n and_o we_o may_v not_o deal_v double_o or_o deceitful_o in_o show_v that_o before_o man_n which_o we_o be_v not_o in_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n for_o the_o people_n that_o god_n have_v form_v to_o himself_o must_v show_v forth_o his_o praise_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n know_v the_o heart_n of_o every_o one_o yet_o he_o look_v for_o fruit_n also_o to_o be_v bring_v forth_o that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v it_o be_v record_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v many_o occasion_n seek_v against_o daniel_n but_o they_o can_v find_v none_o against_o he_o except_o it_o be_v concern_v the_o law_n of_o his_o god_n and_o they_o that_o hate_v he_o consult_v to_o get_v a_o decree_n that_o none_o shall_v ask_v any_o petition_n of_o god_n or_o man_n for_o thirty_o day_n save_v of_o the_o king_n if_o he_o do_v he_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o den_n of_o lion_n and_o the_o decree_n be_v seal_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mead_n and_o persian_n now_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o daniel_n may_v have_v pray_v to_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o his_o evil-wishers_a have_v know_v little_a of_o it_o but_o he_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o pray_v open_o and_o to_o confess_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o be_v great_a mighty_a and_o powerful_a and_o so_o though_o the_o decree_n be_v seal_v he_o as_o if_o he_o regard_v it_o not_o go_v and_o pray_v to_o his_o god_n three_o time_n a_o day_n upon_o his_o knee_n with_o

that_o thy_o faithful_a people_n do_v unto_o thou_o true_a and_o laudable_a service_n now_o then_o if_o it_o come_v only_o by_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n that_o the_o faithful_a do_v true_a service_n unto_o god_n than_o they_o that_o will_v force_v people_n from_o serve_v god_n according_a to_o his_o gift_n give_v they_o will_v force_v they_o from_o the_o true_a and_o laudable_a service_n of_o god_n and_o to_o make_v they_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o unavoidable_o lead_v and_o force_v people_n from_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n into_o hypocrisy_n and_o a_o false_a feign_a lifeless_a and_o heartless_a worship_n in_o which_o the_o lord_n take_v no_o pleasure_n and_o so_o this_o be_v true_o consider_v we_o can_v put_v it_o to_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n to_o judge_v whether_o we_o can_v with_o a_o safe_a conscience_n leave_v our_o religion_n which_o god_n have_v lead_v we_o into_o and_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o only_a true_a service_n be_v do_v to_o god_n in_o which_o also_o we_o find_v acceptance_n with_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n and_o go_v to_o a_o religion_n in_o the_o will_n of_o man_n contrary_a to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n by_o force_n and_o compulsion_n where_o we_o can_v not_o act_v affectionate_o with_o our_o heart_n nor_o yet_o find_v the_o blessing_n and_o presence_n of_o god_n with_o we_o act_v contrary_a to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n true_o it_o be_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o conscience_n as_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v not_o ●affly_o do_v it_o but_o if_o any_o shall_v object_v and_o say_v your_o religion_n be_v but_o new_a or_o of_o a_o late_a stand_n we_o be_v a_o hundred_o year_n old_a or_o thereabouts_o since_o popery_n be_v bring_v from_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n in_o this_o nation_n for_o they_o force_v but_o they_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o we_o be_v a_o reform_a church_n it_o be_v answer_v that_o though_o the_o name_n or_o denomination_n by_o which_o we_o be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o people_n be_v but_o of_o late_a year_n which_o be_v cast_v upon_o we_o by_o some_o that_o mock_v we_o because_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o cause_v many_o to_o quake_v and_o tremble_v yet_o the_o life_n in_o which_o we_o live_v and_o the_o truth_n which_o we_o profess_v be_v ancient_a and_o the_o practice_n in_o which_o we_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n and_o practice_v of_o the_o saint_n of_o old_a and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o saint_n and_o of_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v convert_v and_o turn_v from_o the_o jew_n worship_n that_o it_o be_v a_o new_a religion_n but_o it_o be_v the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o change_v they_o though_o many_o in_o that_o day_n oppose_v they_o and_o so_o we_o say_v force_v now_o with_o prison_n and_o carnal_a weapon_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v former_o in_o the_o papist_n and_o other_o for_o they_o say_v they_o have_v a_o law_n and_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o they_o force_v about_o religion_n and_o kill_v many_o and_o now_o here_o be_v but_o the_o same_o argument_n the_o law_n say_v so_o and_o so_o therefore_o we_o see_v the_o same_o nature_n force_v now_o as_o former_o as_o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n even_o so_o it_o be_v now_o and_o for_o be_v of_o a_o hundred_o year_n stand_v this_o add_v no_o strength_n to_o it_o at_o all_o for_o the_o jew_n religion_n be_v far_o more_o ancient_a and_o yet_o be_v in_o the_o persecute_v nature_n and_o resist_v the_o holy_a one_o and_o the_o just_a though_o they_o profess_v god_n with_o their_o mouth_n yet_o that_o will_v not_o cover_v they_o nor_o will_v it_o cover_v people_n now_o to_o profess_v god_n with_o their_o mouth_n while_o they_o be_v find_v in_o the_o nature_n step_n and_o practice_n of_o they_o who_o persecute_v the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n in_o age_n past_a and_o for_o that_o which_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v but_o of_o late_a year_n we_o say_v man_n be_v not_o true_a christian_n by_o generation_n neither_o by_o a_o outward_a profession_n but_o by_o a_o inward_a change_n in_o the_o heart_n

we_o be_v turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o the_o true_a light_n and_o from_o the_o power_n of_o satan_n to_o god_n and_o we_o be_v glad_a of_o it_o and_o can_v say_v bless_a be_v the_o lord_n for_o it_o if_o it_o have_v be_v but_o yesterday_o that_o any_o of_o we_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o joy_n to_o we_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v

to_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n by_o which_o only_o it_o be_v that_o true_a and_o faithful_a service_n be_v perform_v unto_o he_o 4._o again_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n that_o our_o conscience_n may_v be_v keep_v clear_a towards_o he_o that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n which_o if_o we_o shall_v walk_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v manifest_a here_o will_v be_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n for_o so_o it_o be_v former_o if_o any_o forsake_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o truth_n after_o they_o have_v taste_v of_o his_o good_a word_n if_o they_o fall_v away_o from_o that_o which_o they_o have_v once_o know_v and_o profess_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o gospel_n of_o

the_o preciousness_n of_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n towards_o god_n do_v prize_v it_o and_o esteem_v it_o as_o a_o jewel_n of_o great_a worth_n and_o we_o may_v not_o forsake_v the_o

again_o we_o meet_v together_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o own_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o live_v in_o it_o because_o we_o be_v persuade_v in_o the_o fear_n and_o power_n of_o
