Contents
- (3) A Looking Glass For The Jews: Wherein They May Clearly See That The Messiah Is Come, By The Prophets In The Old Testament,
(Above Sixteen Hundred Years Since,) And The Manifest Testimonies Since. And Also, They May See Their Own Blindness And Ignorance

Contents
- (4) A Testimony Of What We Believe Of Christ, Before He Was Manifest In The Flesh; And Of His Birth And Preaching, And What He
Saith He Is Himself: As Also Of His Sufferings, Death, Resurrection, And Ascension; Both As He Was God, And As He Was Man.
And Also, The Testimony Of The Apostles Concerning Him; With Those Names Which God, The Angels, And Holy Ghost Has Given
Unto Him, And The Holy Men As They Were Moved By The Holy Ghost; Which We Faithfully Own And Believe. But All Such By-Names,
Which Are Not Found In The Scriptures We Testify Against, Though Contended For By Such, As They Say They Have Not The Same
Holy Ghost, That Gave Forth The Scriptures: And It Is The Same Spirit That Gives Christ Those By-Names, That In Scorn Calls
Us Quakers. Also, How The Believers In The Primitive Times, And Now, Did And Do Possess, And Enjoy Christ Jesus: And What
Is The Saints' Food, And How They Are To Walk. And Wherein They May See What A True Christian's Duty Is.

Contents
- (7) Possession Above Profession; Being A Discourse, In Which It May Be Clearly Seen That Many That Make A Profession Of Christ
In The Flesh, And Deny Him In His Light, Which He Enlighteneth Every Man That Cometh Into The World Withal, (Which Light Is
The Life In The Word,) And Speak Evil Against It, Are Such As Possess Him Not, But Persecute His Light And Life As The Jews,
That Persecuted Him In The Days Of His Flesh. And How That Many Turks And Heathens Will Own His Divine Light More Than Many
Of Them That Make A Profession Of Christ In The Flesh. And Likewise, How That All Such As Profess Christ Jesus Has Bought
Them, Are To Be Governed And Ordered By Him, Their Owner; For The Worldling's Reason Will Say, 'That Which He Hath Bought
And Paid For, Is His Own To Order And Govern,' &C.

Did, Who Came To Save Men's Lives, And Not To Destroy Them; And To Rebuke Them That Would Destroy Men's Lives And Estates.
Author:
Fox, George.
- EDITOR:
Fox, George.
Contents
- (9) The People Of God, In Scorn Called Quakers, Their Love To All Mankind Asserted. For As God's Love Through Christ Hath Been
Shed Abroad In Our Hearts, We Cannot But In The Same Love Desire The Eternal Good, And The Salvation Of All Mankind, And Would
Have Them Repent, And Turn To Jesus Christ, Whom God Hath Given In His Love To Be Their Way, Leader And Captain Of Their Salvation,
And Hath Tasted Death For Every Man, And Hath Bought Them With A Price, Therefore, That They All Might Serve And Live To Him,
And Glorify God With Their Bodies, Souls And Spirits, Which Are The Lord's That He Hath Made, And Christ's, Who Hath Redeemed
And Bought Them.

Contents
- (10) Concerning Revelation, Prophecy, Measure, And Rule; And The Inspiration And Sufficiency Of The Spirit. So The Letter-Professing
And Learned Christians And Jews Must Do God's Will, If They Will Know Christ's Doctrine; And That Must Be Done By The Same
Spirit As The Apostles Were In, That Through It They May Mortify The Deeds Of The Flesh, And Take Up The Cross Daily, And
Follow Christ (And Deny Themselves,) Who Reveals The Father To Them, If They Will Know Him Or His Doctrine, That Did The Will
Of God.

Mankind. How All Nations Are Blessed In The Seed Christ Jesus, That Bruiseth The Head Of The Serpent And His Seed That Brought
The Curse; And Something Further, How All Men And Women In Adam, In The Transgression, Their Spirits Are Dark, And How Christ
The Spiritual Man Enlightens Their Spirits (Their Candles,) And How That No Meat That Goes Into The Belly Defiles The Man;
And How Christ Is The Purger Of The Soul, Conscience, And Heart, And Mind, Of All Those Evil Things That Have Gotten Into
Man And Woman By Transgression, Who Bruises The Head Of The Serpent, And Makes All Things Clean To Man, And Brings Him To
The Blessed State As He Was In At The Beginning.

- (14) A Testimony For All Masters Of Ships, And Seamen To Read Over; And To See Whether You Be In The True Faith That The True
Christians And Holy Men Of God Were In, And If You Be Not, Then Turn To The Lord Jesus Christ, Who Is The Author And Finisher
Of The Holy, Divine, And Precious Faith; And Then By This Faith Your Hearts May Be Purified, And With Your Hearts You May
Believe, And With Your Mouths Ye May Make Confession Unto Salvation. Rom. X. And Christ Saith, 'Every One That Is Of The
Truth, Heareth His Voice,' John Xviii. 37. And Now Every One That Is Not Of The Truth Heareth Not His Voice, And Say, There
Is No Hearing Of It Nowadays. And Here You May See How Christ Called Fishermen And Seamen To Be His Disciples, As Followeth;
And How Christ Commanded The Winds, And They Obeyed Him; And How That The Lord God Holds The Winds In His Fist, And Raises
A Storm, And Makes A Calm, So That All Are To Serve And Fear Him. 'Quench Not The Spirit, Despise Not Prophesying; Prove
All Things, Hold Fast That Which Is Good.' 1 Thes. Xix. 20, 21. Those Who Quench The Spirit, And Despise Prophesying Are
Not Like To Prove All Things, Nor Hold Fast That Which Is Good.

Something For The Information Of All Concerning Election And Reprobation; And Unto Such As Hold Opinions And Teach, That
God Hath Ordained A Great Part Of Men And Women To Reprobation, Condemnation, And Hell, Without Any Cause Or Fault At All
In The Creature Less Or More; For God Hath Ordained Some To A Reprobation And Condemnation From The Foundation Of The World,
Say They: And So Hold A Reprobation Of Some Persons To All Eternity; And For It, Bring Jude Iv. Who Speaks Of Such As Were
Ordained Of Old To Condemnation, And Saith, 'There Were Certain Men Crept In Unawares, Which Were Of Old Ordained To This
Condemnation,' Ungodly Men, Turning The Grace Of Our God Into Lasciviousness, And Denying The Lord God, And Our Lord Jesus
Christ.'

- (21) A Distinction Between The New Covenant And The Old; And How That In The Old Covenant, The Jews' Priests' Lips Were To Preserve
The Jews' People's Knowledge: But In The New And Everlasting Covenant, Christ The High Priest, Is The Treasure Of Wisdom
And Knowledge, And He Filleth The Earth With The Knowledge Of The Lord God; And The Earth Being Full Of The Knowledge Of The
Lord God, Then There Is No Want Of It In The Earth. And Christ The High Priest, He Doth Not Only Fill The Earth With The Knowledge
Of The Lord God, But Covereth The Earth With The Knowledge Of The Lord, As The Waters Do The Sea; So The Earth Shall Not Be
Seen. So Then It May Be Seen That The Substance In The New Covenant, Is Far Beyond The Figure In The Old Covenant. Read,
Hear, Perceive, And Understand, Receive And Possess.
