The vials of the wrath of God poured forth upon the seat of the man of sin, and upon all professors of the world, who denieth the light of Christ which he hath enlightned every one withal, and walk contrary to it, with it they are condemned : and a vvarning from the Lord to all who are walking headlong to destruction in the lusts of the flesh, and deceits of the world, that they may repent and turn to the Lord, lest the overflowing scourge sweep them all into the pit / by him who is called George Fox.

Good and bad manners distinguished.

COrrupt communications corrupts the good manners. Now if you love the light which Christ hath enlightned you withal, it will bring you to yea and nay in all your communications; for whatso∣ever is more, is evil. And you that turn from this light which Christ hath enlightned you withal, then in your communications ye are not yea and nay; and so you are in the evil, and out of the doctrine of Christ; and so in that nature you may be taught to bend, to bow, to cringe one to a∣nother, with cap and knee, and hand and foot, (and so calls that civil and and good manners, and he that doth not, with such is judged not to be not civil, who lives in the pure communication yea and nay, and can bow to none but the Lord,) yet full of envie and pride, and where there is pride, there is envie, and wrath, and rage, and sury, Cain-like in your commu∣nications, some are mocking, some striking, and some are railing to the face, and backbiting, and yet when they meet, they flatter one another with the cap, and strake with the foot, and bow with the hand and knee, and yet full of envie.

To the light of Christ in your consciences I speak, which if you love it, it will bring you to bow to the Lord, and let you see these things, and bring you to yea and nay in all your communications, and then nothing shall reign but Christ Jesus; for the light will condemn all things which is contrary to it, and which hath been bowed down to, which is contrary to the light, and that which would respect the persons of men, comes to be judged; for it is the trangressor of that which is pure, transgresseth the pure law of God, and with the pure that comes to be judged, and if you love the light of Christ which he hath enlightned you withal, it will bring you to put away all vain communications out of your mouthes, and keep you to yea and nay in all communications, and it will teach you the good manners; for all you who live in your vain communications from yea and nay, all your profession, which the Prophets, Christ and the Apostles hath spoken, you having their words and the form, and gone from yea and nay, out of the doctrine of Christ, with the life of the A∣postles, and the light of Christ, you are to be condemned, and the end of your profession is wo, as Christ said to the Scribes and Pharisees.

So you that are turned from the pure light of Christ within you, you are in your vain communicaitons, and do worship the beast; for that which turneth from the light of Christ, it sets up that which is out of the truth which is the beast, so the plagues of God proceeds upon who are all turned from the light of Christ, such are in the vain commuications and corrupt manners, and are to be condemned.

But to you all that love the light of Christ, and your mindes guided by it, it will teach you the pure and good manners, and all the corrupt man∣ners will be judged and condemned with the light which Christ hath en∣lightned you withal, which light will teach you to walk with God and men, and there is all your teacher, loving it; and there is all your condem∣nation, hating it.

You that live in filthineis, pride, in lust, in cursed speaking, in wanton∣ness, sporting your selves in the day-time, and foolish jesting, and drunkenness, and gluttony, and all the corruption that are in that nature which is turned from the light, are in the evil communication, and the corrupt manners which is to be condemned with the light, which light e∣very one in particular loving it, which Christ hath enlightned every one withal, it will teach you and bring to yea and nay in all your communica∣tions, and it will teach you the good manners.

It is the eye which will let you see Christ the head, and there is your teacher the light which Christ hath enlightned every one of you withal in particular, which will let you see your evil deeds, and when you act con∣trary to it, which if you hate it, it will be your condemnation.

To the light of Christ in every one of your consciences I speak, which will witness me when the book of conscience is opened, which light will teach you at all times, walking up and down, & lying in bed, in all your actions; this light will teach you when you are in your merchandise, if you do not justly the light will let you see it, it will check you and secretly condemn

you; that is the light which shews you your evil deed; which if you love it, it will keep you to yea and nay in all your communications, it will bring you to few words, and bring you into the fear of the Lord, and The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

This is to be set upon all Crosses, that all may see the good manners, and the corrupt manners, and the corrupt communication, which corrupts the good manners, and the pure communication which is yea and nay, according to the light of Christ in every one of your consciences. To the light of Christ in every one of your consciences I do speak.

From them whom the world calls Quakers scornfully; but Moses who quaked and trembled, said, To him reproaches was great riches.
