A85143	Light risen out of darkness now in these latter days. Shewing the dark ways and worships of the ministry of Antichrist now in these apostated times, which is perilous, as is foretold of often by the Holy Ghost that spoke through Paul, and now is fulfilled in these latter days, 2 Tim 3. Thus saith the Lord, Arise Sion, and thresh with a sharp threshing instrument, and shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen, and is arising, and Jerusalem shall be a burdensome stone to all nations, now that Christ is unto his people both the light and glory thereof. Wherein something is written in reply to a book that was set forth by the dry and night vines in and about Beverley, who scornfully nicknameth the people of God, in reviling and falsly accusing them, and calleth them Quakers, in and about York-shire. Iuly, 1653.	R. F. (Richard Farnworth), d. 1666.	1654 (1654)	Wing F490; Thomason E729_5; ESTC R206840	47,191	59

acquainted neither with Christ nor his sufferings who causeth the truth to suffer by them as their actions do make manifest who lives in the old corrupt nature and has stoln the words of the Prophets and Apostles to trade withal and hath glossed them over by their humane and serpentive wisdome which the vengeance and the wrath of God is to 4. These dissembling hypocritical Priests whited walls and painted Sepulchres are exalted above the Cross of Christ and sits in the seat of the scornful acting as in a Stage-play for mony and are climb'd up high into their notions and notionary expressions by their fleshly wisdom which is earthly carnal sensual and divelish but never came in at the door as saith Jesus Christ in Iohn 10. And are ignorant of the first principle of Religion that knows not the power of God to break down the power of darkness in them and so that is the cause of their falsifying the truth and speaking evil of that which they know not being puft up in pride scorn and derision judging the truth by their evil thoughts and fleshly imaginations Now as Iannes and Iambres withstood Moses so do these resist the truth standing in opposition against it by their carnal wisdom and fleshly imaginations and vain glory boasting and vaunting themselves in their own conceits and stands upon their own righteousness by their gathered up knowledg in opposition to the Spirit of truth and in despight to the Spirit of grace and wrests the Scriptures to their own destruction speaking their own Inventions and Imaginations which arise out of the bottomless pit of deceit but the Lord is coming for to bring down Babylon's buildings all mans inventions and imaginations and to cast them into the lake that burneth and all the Babylonish Merchants will cry out Alas alas for that great City of Babylon where they sold their wares and gilded stuff and fine dainty dishes of novelties dressed made fit by the Cooks in their shops of brain study and humane inventions which is Cainish to feed curious and lusty minds withal lusting after knowledge and feeding upon the forbidden fruit which is under the curse and must be burnt with fire now in the day of the Lords power where nothing shall stand but his own pure being for he alone will rule and raign in power amongst his chosen ones in Sion the perfection of beauty and he alone will govern his people in righteousness and teach them all the knowledge of his truth to know him in the habitation of his holiness that they may rejoyce and triumph in his love By this we know that we love God because we keep his Commandements and it is his love which constraineth us who first loved us and gave himself for us And saith he If you love me keep my Commandements and I command you to love one another with the same love that I loved you withal but he that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love and he that saith he loveth him and keepeth not his Commandements is a lyar and the truth is not in him And here you are that lives in lying who say that we attempt to lay waste Scriptures Churches Faith Hope c. The Scriptures we own to be true in themselves as they were given forth from the Spirit of truth which ruled in them that spoke them forth which Spirit I witness and their declaration I own the life of it herein you are found false witnesses lyars and false accusers and are Antichrists and Seducers shewing forth the spirit of errour and Antichrist is head and exalted in you who opposeth himself against the truth But your dark m●nds I do deny and against you I do testifie That you are the men whom you write of and that condition is your own for you make no other use of the Scriptures but to trade withal and to give your Antichristian Applications and Constructions of them which the plagues of God is due to For saith Jesus Christ I testifie that he that adds to the Book of this Prophecy I will add to him all the plagues that are written in the Book Rev. 22. And whereas you lye and say That we a people whom the Divel in you scornfully reproacheth and calleth Quakers which is your envy which name I suffer under by such as you are who are apostated from the truth and the living word which was in the beginning which word is quick and powerful and sharper then any two edged sword and is like a fire and a hammer Heb. 4.12 Jer. 23.29 30. And though the Divel in you be suffered to cast upon us names of reproach It is but that the Scriptures may be fulfilled in calling us Quakers or what you can invent to make us odious in the sight of the world which name I do disown for I know none but two in all the Scriptures flesh and spirit the seed of the Serpent and the seed of God which shall bruise the Serpent's head with his internal rod by the living power of the Eternal Jehovah Jah But the seed of the Serpent is head in you who lives in lyes and Christ you do by your proud lustful natures kill and crucifie and his Doctrine daily by your earthly wisdom more and more despise and so you keep the seed of God in bondage by your divelish subtil serpentive policies and would not that it should come forth to live and to arise and faith you do not know who are so swift such lyes to report and the living truth for to relieve you are unwilling and both slack and slow and bears the mark of the Beast in your right hand and in your foreheads and it is you that do attempt to lay waste Scriptures in all things but to traffick withal and knows no word but bare letter and diabolical subtilty humane invention which you do live in and observes the Divels work for to commit sin which is the fruits of death and so the Word and Gospel of God is his from all such vulterous eyes And venemous beasts as you are who knows not the strait path that leads to life nor the wisdom which is hid which Job speaks of in Chap. 28. which wisdom is not from beneath neither is it earthly and carnal as yours is for the wisdom of God is not to be bought and sold neither for rubies pealrs silver nor gold but yours which is earthly and is but dross and dung causing you to lye so with your dirty Greek and Latine tongue Saying That we seek to attempt to lay waste all Scriptures Priest Christ Faith Hope c. Wherein you are exceeding hoodwink'd Reply and your eyes i● stopt with dirty miery stuff your inventions and imaginations and your mouths is filled with lyes and your hearts with evil thoughts being possest with Satan and that 's the cause you do the truth so much despise For we own the Scriptures as they are in themselves to be a declaration

voyce John 10.4 5. And so know you to be ravening wolves ranging into you own inventions and ravening into old Authours and stealing the Saints Declarations to speak of and so get your lesson before-hand what to say but the Apostles did not so And such vain ravenous minds as yours are I do deny and now you have made your selves manifest that you were never taught of God but he will bruise you all with his iron rod. 2. We know that we are taught of God by his Holy Spirit as he hath promised and now is fulfilling and qualifying his Son in his Saints John 14. and hath prayed for us ver 16 17.26 And we do now find the efficacy of his prayer to and in our souls and our union is with him in that which he hath prayed for John 16.23 24 25 26 27. And he is now the same that he was Heb. 13.8 John 17.20 to the end But our life is not in the letter as yours is but in the spirit and in the power 3. And we know that no man can come to the Father but by Jesus Christ the light of the world who is a mystery to the carnally minded ones such as you are who would find out the mystery by your fallen wisdom and studied our knowledg which is for the fire for no man can come unto God but by this Jesus whom we preach which is Christ in us the life and substance of all the Scriptures Col. 1.27 c. And no man knoweth the Son but the Father neither knoweth any man the Father save the Son and he to whom the Son reveals him who calls for obedience in whom he is man festing his love and faith Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden But you are not burdened with your sins that do delight in them and so your rest is in the fl●sh and carnal wisdom which must be shaken but mine is in the Lord Jesus Christ in obedience to the Cross who hath set me at liberty from the servitude of sin to serve him having been taught of him as the truth is in Jesus and have rest unto my soul through the divine unfoldings of his love Matth. 11.27 28 29. 4. And we know That God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the Fathers by his Prephets hath in these last dayes spoken to us by his Son whom he hath appointed heir of all things by whom also he made the world who being the brightness of his glory and the express Image of his person we are reconciled to him by his blood and are upholden by his power Heb. 1.1 2 3. To him alone be praise honour and glory both now and for evermore Vnless we think Priests as the Doctrine implyes That the Motions of the Spirit are the only rule of duty c. Herein you shew your judgement is carnal and not spiritual that would try the motions of the Spirit by your corrupt thoughts Reply which are of the earth earthly and you have neither salt nor tryer born up in your understandings to try withal as the Saints had that spoke forth the Scriptures but your tryer is a Chapter or a verse of their Declaration which you experience nothing of that live by thoughts and doubtings and so you know nothing real and he that doubts is damned you and your doctrine is for condemnation For the spiritual man judgeth all things yet he himself is judged of no man And there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk in the spirit 1 Cor. 2.15 16. Rom. 8.1 But you are carnal and are guided by your own corrupt wills and your doctrine is accursed and you walk in crooked paths wh●ch lead to destruction All people that have any care of your souls take heed to your souls and follow not these blind guides Iohn Pomroy Paul Clisson Ioseph Kellat c. lest they lead you to destruction take warning betime for they are blind leaders of the blind and see what Jesus Christ saith in Matth. 15.14 And hold them not up nor receive them into your houses neither bid them God speed lest you be partakers of their evil deeds Mat. 15.14 2 Iohn 9.10 11. Whereas you say That to the best of your understandings Priests you judge the Asserters to be against any constant Preacher or Course of prayer so allowing every man and woman liberty in Assemblies to teach or pray c. Here the best of your understanding is carnal Reply and your judgement is the same and so you have nothing to do to judge or to search out the Sa●nts liberty by your subtilties for the natural man knows not the things of God and your understanding is earthly and your judgement is for condemnation which is not infallible And the salt having lost its favour is good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot Matth. 5. And so your judgement is cast out and shall never enter into the inward Court but must be trodden under foot and your corrupt wills are for destruction and you are for condemnation because you love not the light the Lord Jesus Christ Therefore be accursed 1 Cor. 16.22 2. Preaching we own and the Ministry of Christ we own and the Course of prayer by the same spirit we own and we do not allow any to speak but the man in us Christ Jesus who is the Ministry of the Sanctuary and preacheth glad tydings and we own his voyce and his Ministry in any and know his voyce from the voyce of strangers such as you are that are enemies to him we disown and do deny 3. You are carnal and corrupt and would be Lords over Gods Heritage but you must be cast out and all such Foxes that spoil the Vines You say that we allow any liberty in the Assemblies c. 4. Are you so sottish know you not that the head of every man is Christ and where he is exalted must his mouth be muzzled in any In the true Church all might speak one by one in the spirits administration who were acted and guided by the spirit to a spiritual order in all things but yours is carnal Let them that pray pray with the spirit the understanding also and every one may speak as they have received 1 Cor. 14. And as every man hath received the Gift so minister the same one to another as good Stewards of the manifold Graces of God that God in all thingt may be Glorified through Jesus Christ to whom he Praise and Dominion for ever and ever 1 Pet. 4.10 11. herein you shew your selves to be carnal and know not that the manifestation of the spirit is given to every one to profit withal 1 Cor. 12. and that no man can call Jesus Lord but by the Holy Ghost and for that 1 Tim. 2.12 Rom. 16.1 and Phil. 4.3 Act. 21.9 and it will let you see that your Judgment is
