AN
EPISTLE
TO
ALL
Friendly
and
Impartial
READERS
.
THE
Ensuing
Collection
is
Recommended
to
your
Serious
Perusal
,
Charitable
and
Tender
Considerations
,
wherein
expect
not
to
find
either
Empty
Flourishes
,
Curiosity
of
Speech
,
or
Acquired
Eloquence
,
but
Plainness
and
Simplicity
,
wherein
the
Substantial
Truth
is
sincerely
aimed
and
pointed
at
.
The
Author
,
by
the
Grace
of
God
through
Jesus
Christ
,
being
Converted
from
a
Literal
,
Worldly
,
and
Mercenary
Priest
,
(
tho'
one
of
the
Better
Sort
)
to
be
a
Spiritual
Minister
of
Christ
,
and
Free
Preacher
of
Righteousness
in
Life
and
Doctrine
,
knowing
that
Gospel-Ministers
,
and
good
Preachers
,
must
be
good
Livers
;
none
being
meet
to
Convert
others
to
God
or
Christ
,
but
who
are
first
truly
Converted
themselves
by
his
Power
.
This
Innocent
and
Upright-hearted
Man
,
Thomas
Taylor
,
seeing
the
great
Corruptions
,
Pride
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
other
Enormities
,
among
too
many
of
the
Worldly
Teachers
,
Priests
,
and
Hearers
,
was
the
more
Fervent
in
his
Testimony
against
them
,
who
pleased
themselves
and
others
with
good
Words
,
whilst
they
lived
Bad
Lives
.
This
our
Deceased
Brother
and
Servant
of
Jesus
Christ
,
when
Sufferings
or
Storms
approached
,
or
Wolves
appeared
to
Devour
,
did
not
Flee
with
Hirelings
,
nor
Flatter
with
Temporizers
,
nor
Admire
Mens
Persons
for
Advantage
,
but
as
one
having
a
fixed
Confidence
in
the
Lord
,
and
true
Zeal
for
his
Glory
,
was
Valiant
for
his
Truth
on
Earth
,
and
used
much
Plainness
in
his
Ministry
,
Testimony
,
and
Warnings
,
both
to
High
and
Low
,
Professors
and
Profane
,
not
sparing
Disguis'd
Hypocrites
,
or
Deceitful
Workers
,
no
more
than
Open
and
Gross
Offenders
,
but
as
a
Partaker
of
the
same
Spirit
and
Life
,
the
Primitive
Ministers
of
Christ
were
in
,
according
to
his
Measure
,
was
Exercised
in
the
like
Sincerity
,
Uprightness
,
and
Self-denial
,
intimated
in
2
Cor.
2.17
.
For
we
are
not
as
many
,
which
deal
deceitfully
with
(
or
make
Merchandize
of
)
the
Word
of
God
;
and
1
Thes.
2.3
.
For
our
Exhortation
was
not
of
Deceit
,
nor
of
Vncleanness
,
nor
in
Guile
.
(
Ver.
4.
)
But
as
we
were
allowed
of
God
to
be
put
in
Trust
with
the
Gospel
,
even
so
we
speak
,
not
as
pleasing
Men
,
but
God
,
which
trieth
our
Hearts
.
(
Ver.
5.
)
For
neither
at
any
time
used
we
flattering
words
,
as
ye
know
,
nor
a
Cloak
of
Covetousness
,
God
is
witness
.
(
Ver.
6.
)
Nor
of
Men
sought
we
Glory
,
neither
of
you
,
nor
yet
of
others
,
&c.
In
like
manner
this
Faithful
Servant
of
Christ
,
(
whom
we
now
speak
of
)
did
not
sooth
up
People
in
their
Sins
,
nor
sow
Pillows
under
their
Arm-holes
,
like
False
,
Sin-pleasing
Prophets
,
but
in
Tender
Love
and
Pity
to
their
Poor
Souls
,
Faithfully
Warned
them
,
and
Perswaded
them
to
Repentance
,
as
one
knowing
the
Terrors
of
the
Lord
,
and
Revelation
of
his
Righteous
Judgments
against
all
Unrighteousness
of
Men
;
being
also
sensible
,
when
the
Lord
had
spoken
,
who
can
but
Prophesie
?
And
when
he
saith
,
Cry
aloud
,
and
spare
not
,
lift
up
thy
Voice
like
a
Trumpet
,
and
shew
the
People
their
Wickedness
,
Abominations
and
Transgr●ssions
,
What
Faithful
Messenger
dare
be
silent
?
He
was
a
true
Encourager
of
Vertue
,
and
Witness
against
Vice
and
Profaneness
,
and
the
Lord
was
with
him
in
his
Christian
Labours
,
M●●●stry
,
and
Deep
Sufferings
.
Wherefore
,
Friendly
Readers
,
let
not
the
Simplicity
of
his
Stile
,
nor
his
Plainness
,
Sharpness
,
or
Zeal
against
Hypocrisie
or
Deceit
,
offend
you
in
the
following
Collection
,
or
any
Passages
therein
,
we
hope
there
is
nothing
in
them
justly
offensive
,
or
that
may
not
bear
a
Charitable
and
Just
Construction
with
the
Impartial
and
Unprejudic'd
,
if
any
thing
should
seem
Dubious
:
Though
where
Prejudice
or
Envy
is
against
Persons
or
Things
,
(
how
Just
soever
)
it
will
carp
and
quarrel
at
the
Clearest
Truths
;
as
hath
appeared
both
from
Envious
Apostates
,
and
other
Enemies
to
Christ
and
his
Followers
:
The
Holy
Scriptures
themselves
not
escaping
the
Causeless
Cavils
of
Irreligious
and
Atheistical
Persons
.
This
Faithful
and
Zealous
Servant
of
Christ
was
Divinely
endued
with
a
Gospel-Spirit
and
Ministry
,
and
was
of
a
True
,
Christian
,
Gentle
and
Humble
Disposition
;
and
his
Judgment
was
mix'd
with
Mercy
and
Compassion
to
poor
Souls
;
and
his
Company
and
Society
was
Sweet
and
Acceptable
to
all
the
Faithful
in
Christ
,
who
had
a
True
and
Spiritual
Knowledge
of
him
,
and
Acquaintance
with
him
.
He
sincerely
affected
Christian
Humility
,
Poverty
of
Spirit
,
and
Simplicity
in
Christ
,
beyond
all
Artificial
Painting
,
and
Humane
Acquirements
.
And
seeing
the
Vanity
of
all
Airy
Notions
,
Scholastick
Craft
,
and
Self-righteousness
,
he
laid
it
all
aside
,
and
was
Refin'd
from
all
that
Dross
,
esteeming
the
pure
Gold
,
the
Heavenly
Treasure
,
the
Excellency
of
the
Knowledge
of
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord
above
all
;
therein
asserting
his
Sincerity
and
Innocency
,
when
a
Prisoner
in
about
1665
,
in
Praise
to
the
Lord
God
,
who
supported
him
in
his
Sufferings
,
Patience
and
Innocent
Condition
.
Concerning
which
,
please
to
observe
his
own
Testimony
inserted
here
as
followeth
,
viz.
This
is
my
Confidence
in
the
Sight
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
my
Clearness
before
all
People
,
that
though
I
have
been
hated
and
persecuted
,
and
evil
spoken
of
by
many
these
many
Years
,
yet
it
hath
altogether
been
without
Cause
,
I
praise
the
Lord
.
For
I
can
truly
say
,
That
I
never
sought
the
Hurt
of
any
Man
living
upon
the
Earth
,
though
in
Matters
of
Religion
,
or
otherwise
,
he
was
never
so
contrary
to
me
,
or
against
me
:
Yea
,
the
Terrors
of
God
and
his
Truth
,
did
preserve
my
Heart
from
seeking
my
own
Revenges
,
but
taught
me
still
to
commit
my
Cause
to
God
;
and
he
,
according
to
his
Word
,
did
still
bring
forth
my
Righteousness
as
the
Light
,
and
my
Judgment
and
Just
Dealing
as
the
Noon-day
,
Psal.
37.5
,
6.
to
his
Holy
Name
's
Praise
,
and
my
Soul
's
great
Rejoycing
;
and
did
still
let
me
see
,
that
the
patient
abiding
of
the
Meek
,
is
never
forgotten
of
God
.
And
so
though
I
have
been
kept
here
(
a
Prisoner
)
above
four
Years
for
my
pure
Conscience
sake
to
God
,
yet
to
the
King
and
the
People
,
under
whom
I
Suffer
,
have
I
done
no
Harm
,
nor
can
think
or
intend
them
Evil
;
but
have
endeavoured
in
all
things
in
the
Power
of
God
,
as
a
true
Christian
,
to
live
peaceably
with
all
Men
,
as
those
that
have
known
me
from
the
beginning
can
witness
.
For
I
never
drew
Sword
,
nor
Plotted
against
any
,
nor
could
ever
perswade
any
others
so
to
do
;
but
have
still
lamented
the
Misery
of
Mankind
to
see
them
,
instead
of
Loving
and
Helping
one
another
,
contrariwise
Hating
,
Biting
,
Devouring
and
Destroying
one
another
.
So
I
rest
in
the
Blessed
Peace
of
my
God
,
a
Sufferer
for
his
Blessed
Truth
,
Blessed
for
ever
be
his
Name
,
who
hath
called
me
,
and
counted
me
worthy
thereunto
.
But
it
will
not
be
well
with
such
as
hate
the
righteous
Man
,
as
saith
Scripture
:
But
my
Heart
can
say
,
Father
,
forgive
them
,
for
they
know
not
what
they
do
.
And
concerning
Kings
,
and
all
that
are
in
Authority
,
my
Heart
hath
said
according
to
the
Holy
Doctrine
of
the
Apostle
,
Lord
Grant
that
they
may
Rule
well
,
that
it
may
be
well
with
them
in
the
latter
End
;
and
that
we
thy
People
,
whom
thou
hast
redeemed
to
thy self
,
may
lead
a
quiet
and
peaceable
Life
,
in
all
Honesty
and
Godliness
under
them
,
to
thy
Praise
.
And
for
this
Cause
pay
we
Tribute
,
&c.
This
his
own
Sincere
Account
,
appears
truly
agreeable
to
what
the
Holy
Apostle
saith
in
the
like
case
,
2
Cor.
1.12
.
For
our
Rejoycing
is
this
,
the
Testimony
of
our
Conscience
,
that
in
Simplicity
and
Godly
Sincerity
,
not
with
fleshly
Wisdom
,
but
by
the
Grace
of
God
we
have
had
our
Conversation
in
the
World
,
and
more
abundantly
to
you-wards
.
These
things
are
recommended
to
all
Serious
and
Well-inclined
Readers
,
who
desire
to
seek
the
Lord
,
his
Kingdom
,
and
the
Righteousness
thereof
,
to
weigh
and
consider
,
knowing
that
't
is
all
our
Concerns
,
tenderly
to
mark
and
behold
the
perfect
and
upright
Man
,
for
the
End
of
that
Man
is
Peace
;
as
was
the
End
of
this
Innocent
and
Upright-hearted
Man
,
whose
Memorial
is
Blessed
.
Divers
Friends
have
been
for
some
time
concerned
,
that
the
following
Collections
were
not
publish'd
some
Years
ago
;
but
many
Occasions
and
Exercises
intervening
,
have
thus
long
prevented
the
Persons
concerned
in
Collecting
,
Inspecting
and
Placing
his
Writings
in
Order
,
as
they
could
find
them
,
and
as
might
most
tend
to
future
Service
,
Admonition
or
Warning
,
that
they
might
be
preserved
for
Ages
to
come
.
We
have
great
Cause
to
Praise
the
Worthy
Name
of
the
Lord
our
God
,
that
he
hath
raised
and
sent
so
many
Faithful
Witnesses
in
our
Days
,
who
have
not
been
as
Clouds
without
Rain
,
but
Divinely
Replenished
and
Qualified
with
Life
,
Wisdom
and
Sanctity
,
for
the
Work
which
the
Lord
hath
called
them
unto
.
And
therefore
Wo
will
be
to
those
Enemies
,
Apostates
and
Back-sliders
,
who
Contemn
,
Reproach
or
Harm
any
such
,
who
are
the
Lord
's
Anointed
ones
,
Prophets
or
Faithful
Servants
,
either
while
Living
,
or
Dead
.
And
it
highly
concerns
all
the
Lord's
People
,
who
profess
his
Light
and
Truth
,
sincerely
to
approve
their
Hearts
unto
him
with
unblameable
Lives
and
Conversations
,
walking
before
him
in
true
Love
and
Christian
Charity
,
and
truly
to
prize
the
Mercy
of
the
present
Day
and
Dispensation
of
Grace
;
and
fervently
to
pray
the
Lord
of
the
Harvest
,
to
raise
up
and
send
forth
more
Faithful
Labourers
thereinto
,
that
his
Gospel-harvest-Day
and
Work
may
go
on
and
prosper
,
both
in
this
Age
,
and
the
Ages
to
come
;
to
his
Eternal
Praise
and
Renown
,
and
his
Church's
great
Joy
and
Comfort
in
him
for
ever
.
Amen
.

I
Am
Concerned
to
give
this
further
Account
:
The
said
Thomas
Taylor
(
after
other
Imprisonments
)
being
Twice
Imprisoned
at
Stafford
for
his
Tender
Conscience
to
Christ
.
In
the
first
Imprisonment
there
,
he
was
near
Eleven
Years
a
Prisoner
,
(
as
I
Remember
)
and
the
Second
Imprisonment
there
was
for
a
short
time
,
being
Threatned
,
Reviled
and
Falsly
Aspersed
,
and
called
a
Jesuite-Rogue
by
the
Deputy's
Steward
of
the
Court
.
I
was
made
Instrumental
in
God's
Hand
for
his
Release
both
times
;
the
First
in
1672.
by
Solicitation
for
him
and
many
others
,
whom
thereupon
K.
Charles
the
Second
Released
.
And
the
Second
,
by
Endeavouring
for
himself
about
1679.
Manifesting
him
to
be
no
Jesuite
nor
Papist
,
but
a
Peaceable
Harmless
Man
in
his
Conversation
,
and
a
Dissenting
Protestant
,
Distinguished
under
the
Name
Quaker
,
to
clear
him
from
the
False
Aspersions
cast
upon
him
;
in
which
my
Solicitation
and
Endeavours
for
his
Liberty
,
I
had
great
Peace
and
Comfort
,
and
the
more
,
in
obtaining
the
same
for
him
and
others
;
for
I
truly
Loved
him
for
his
Innocency
,
Integrity
and
Love
to
the
Lord
and
his
People
.

A
TESTIMONY
Concerning
our
Dear
Friend
and
Brother
Thomas
Taylor
,
Who
was
Convinced
of
the
Lord's
Everlasting
Truth
,
and
Received
it
in
the
Year
1652.
HE
had
been
an
Eminent
Parish
Priest
,
and
of
Note
among
the
Professors
and
other
Priests
,
and
also
a
Lecturer
in
several
Countries
,
Preaching
Sermons
on
the
Week-Days
.
And
he
coming
to
Swarthmor
in
Lancashire
,
with
some
other
Priests
,
I
ask'd
him
and
them
,
before
Judge
Fell
,
Whether
he
,
or
any
of
them
could
say
,
that
they
ever
heard
a
Voice
of
God
or
Christ
from
Heaven
,
that
bid
them
go
to
Speak
to
any
People
,
as
God
and
Christ
did
to
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
?
And
Thomas
said
before
them
all
,
that
he
never
heard
any
such
Voice
or
Command
.
And
I
ask'd
him
what
he
Preach'd
to
the
People
then
,
and
he
made
Answer
,
and
said
,
His
Experiences
,
and
I
told
him
his
Experiences
might
not
reach
to
every
Condition
;
but
he
that
had
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
might
Preach
it
,
whom
God
sent
,
and
that
would
Reach
all
Conditions
,
who
knows
all
Conditions
:
And
so
the
Lord's
Word
and
Power
struck
him
that
he
was
Silent
.
But
the
rest
of
the
Priests
were
High
,
and
Opposed
,
and
came
to
nothing
:
And
Judge
Fell
wondered
,
and
was
astonished
at
what
he
heard
Thomas
say
,
that
he
had
never
heard
the
Voice
of
God
nor
Christ
to
Command
him
to
Preach
to
any
People
;
and
the
said
Thomas
Taylor
,
being
look'd
upon
a
High
Priest
,
and
above
the
Common
Priests
,
and
a
Sober
Man
,
and
Beloved
among
the
outward
Professors
,
and
so
I
went
along
with
him
that
Day
,
to
a
place
called
Newton
,
in
Lancashire
,
where
he
used
to
Preach
sometimes
;
and
he
was
very
much
down
,
and
sad
,
and
groaned
that
Night
.
And
the
next
Day
we
went
to
a
Meeting
which
we
had
in
the
Steeple-house-yard
,
but
he
would
have
gone
into
the
Steeple-house
,
but
the
Priest
would
not
let
us
;
and
I
told
him
,
it
was
no
matter
.
And
there
came
another
Priest
from
Vnder-Barrow
,
and
several
others
,
and
Thomas
sitting
still
,
at
last
a
tender
Spring
of
Life
Sprang
up
in
him
,
and
he
Spoke
very
well
in
it
to
the
People
,
both
of
his
own
Condition
,
and
the
People's
,
and
where
they
had
been
;
and
now
how
they
must
turn
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
And
the
Vnder-Barrow-Priest
,
and
some
other
Professors
,
were
Offended
,
and
Opposed
him
;
but
the
Lord's
Power
came
over
them
all
:
For
he
was
look'd
upon
,
in
the
time
of
his
Priesthood
,
above
them
,
And
Thomas
Taylor
grew
in
the
Grace
and
Truth
of
Christ
,
and
came
to
know
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
Preach
Christ
Freely
,
as
then
he
had
Received
Freely
,
and
forsook
his
Parish-steeple-house
,
and
his
old
Parish-wages
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Priests
,
that
Preach'd
for
Hire
;
and
he
Travelled
up
and
down
in
many
parts
of
England
,
Preaching
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Gospel
freely
,
as
he
was
Commanded
,
who
had
Received
it
freely
.
And
likwise
his
Brother
Christopher
Taylor
,
who
had
been
a
Publick
Preacher
to
a
People
,
was
also
Convinc'd
,
and
Preach'd
Christ
freely
.
And
many
Disputes
Thomas
had
with
the
Priests
and
Professors
,
and
continued
still
in
his
Confession
to
God
,
and
his
Truth
and
People
,
and
what
their
Conditions
were
,
and
had
been
formerly
.
And
so
from
that
time
he
continued
in
the
Truth
,
and
the
Grace
of
God
,
and
grew
mightily
in
it
,
and
boldly
Preached
it
,
and
saw
where
the
Priests
and
Professors
were
,
and
by
whom
they
were
made
and
sent
,
not
of
God
;
so
that
the
Priests
and
Professors
grew
in
a
Rage
against
him
,
and
Persecuted
him
.
And
he
,
having
been
a
Lecturer
at
Richmond
in
Yorkshire
,
was
made
to
go
there
,
and
Turn
his
Back
to
the
Priest
,
and
put
his
Hands
to
both
his
Ears
,
and
stop
them
,
as
a
Sign
,
how
God
had
stopt
his
Ears
unto
their
Sacrifice
,
and
Service
,
and
Offering
.
And
then
after
he
was
cast
into
a
Prison
at
Appleby
in
Westmoreland
for
the
Truth
's
Sake
,
under
a
cruel
Goaler
,
and
a
very
bad
Prison
,
being
a
sad
,
smoky
place
,
by
the
Smoke
that
came
out
of
other
Rooms
,
enough
to
Choke
him
:
But
he
continued
Faithful
in
the
Life
and
Power
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Lord
delivered
him
thence
.
And
afterwards
he
Travelled
up
and
down
,
Preaching
to
Priests
and
Professors
,
and
warning
all
,
both
Small
and
Great
,
to
Repentance
and
Amendment
of
Life
,
turning
many
to
the
Lord
.
He
was
after
a
while
cast
into
Prison
at
York
for
Truth
,
and
after
some
time
the
Lord
there
delivered
him
.
And
so
when
he
was
at
Liberty
,
he
still
continued
Labouring
in
the
Work
and
Service
of
the
Lord
,
Preaching
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
and
Turning
People
from
Darkness
to
Light
,
and
from
the
Power
of
Satan
,
to
the
Power
of
God
.
And
also
his
Life
and
Conversation
Preached
,
being
a
Man
of
a
Sober
Life
,
and
Sound
Judgment
,
and
a
good
Understanding
in
the
Truth
.
And
after
he
had
Travelled
much
up
and
down
in
several
parts
of
this
Nation
,
he
coming
into
Staffordshire
,
was
there
Imprisoned
and
Premunired
for
refusing
to
Swear
in
Obedience
to
the
Command
of
Christ
,
who
says
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
and
there
he
was
kept
Prisoner
Ten
Years
and
a
half
in
the
Town
of
Stafford
,
under
cruel
Goalers
;
and
a
sore
,
tedious
Imprisonment
he
had
,
and
great
Sufferings
by
those
Magistrates
,
as
his
Letters
will
Testifie
.
and
a
wearisom
Imprisonment
he
had
through
the
wicked
Prisoners
,
which
burdened
and
grieved
his
Righteous
Soul
.
And
when
he
was
at
Liberty
,
and
Travelled
up
and
down
in
the
Power
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
Lord's
Service
,
being
a
Man
of
a
Tender
Spirit
and
Conscience
,
sometimes
he
met
with
Bull-baiting
,
Bear-baiting
,
Plays
and
Shews
,
and
Cock-fightings
;
and
Mountebanks
,
and
Ringers
of
Bells
,
&c.
which
burdened
and
grieved
his
Righteous
Soul
,
that
People
should
spend
their
pretious
Time
in
Sports
and
Vanities
,
and
such
as
professed
Christianity
,
which
were
more
like
the
Heathen-Romans
than
Christians
who
was
made
to
Admonish
such
,
and
Reprove
them
(
as
his
Letters
Testifie
)
and
not
to
spend
their
time
so
Vainly
.
The
Lord
was
with
him
,
and
did
assist
him
,
who
was
an
Elder
indeed
,
and
Partaker
of
the
Glory
,
that
is
to
be
Revealed
;
who
sought
to
Establish
such
as
he
Convinced
(
and
were
Convinced
,
)
in
the
Truth
and
Gospel
the
Power
of
God
;
who
was
Beloved
of
God
,
and
all
his
Faithful
People
.
And
many
bad
Prisons
or
Goals
he
was
cast
into
for
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
Truth
's
Sake
.
And
he
had
a
Dispute
with
Doctor
Owen
at
Oxford
,
and
the
very
Scholars
could
say
,
That
Thomas
was
too
hard
for
him
;
for
the
Lord
,
with
his
Eternal
Arm
and
Power
,
did
Support
him
.
And
he
was
a
Faithful
,
True
,
Upright
Man
in
the
Lord's
Truth
,
to
the
last
,
and
turned
many
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
that
they
became
Hearers
and
Followers
of
him
who
Speaks
from
Heaven
:
And
he
loved
the
Government
of
Christ
,
and
his
Spiritual
,
Heavenly
Order
among
his
People
.
And
when
he
had
fulfilled
his
Ministry
,
and
finished
his
Course
(
who
was
a
harmless
and
blameless
Man
in
his
Conversation
)
he
laid
down
his
Head
in
Peace
,
and
Died
in
the
Lord
,
and
is
Blessed
,
and
his
Works
follow
him
.
Much
might
be
writ
of
this
Honest
and
Faithful
Servant
of
God
Thomas
Taylor's
cruel
Hardships
and
Sufferings
,
that
he
went
through
for
Christ
,
and
his
Truth
's
Sake
.
He
finish'd
his
Days
at
Stafford
with
his
Wife
,
in
1681.
after
he
had
been
an
able
Preacher
of
the
Gospel
from
about
1652.
And
is
at
Rest
with
the
Lord
:
And
Blessed
is
he
that
Dies
in
the
Lord
,
yea
,
saith
the
Spirit
,
his
Works
follow
him

Christopher
Taylor
's
TESTIMONY
Concerning
Thomas
Taylor
.
MY
deceased
Brother
Tho.
Taylor
was
a
Man
,
who
,
in
his
tender
Years
,
had
a
Sence
of
Sin
upon
him
,
and
saw
a
Necessity
of
coming
and
attaining
to
a
State
of
Righteousness
and
Faithfulness
to
God
that
he
might
please
him
;
so
that
for
several
Years
he
was
exercised
under
the
Spirit
of
Bondage
and
great
Fears
,
lest
he
should
miss
of
Eternal
Salvation
,
and
so
come
to
be
a
true
Seeker
and
Inquirer
after
the
best
Things
;
and
the
Lord
was
Good
unto
him
in
a
preparative
Work
,
as
I
may
say
,
before
he
came
to
know
the
Sabbath
of
Eternal
Rest
in
Christ
Jesus
.
And
as
Light
and
Life
appeared
and
sprung
up
in
its
Measure
in
the
Land
of
his
Nativity
,
the
Lord
in
Mercy
gave
him
a
Share
in
it
,
and
a
Fear
came
upon
his
Heart
,
to
preserve
him
in
a
State
of
Integrity
and
Simplicity
,
which
kept
him
very
Sober
in
his
Conversation
,
and
Restrained
him
from
many
Evils
others
fell
into
;
so
that
he
was
accounted
by
many
in
those
days
who
were
Honest-minded
,
to
be
a
Religious
Consciencious
young
Man
:
And
the
Lord
gave
him
Sights
and
Openings
of
good
Things
at
hand
,
and
opened
a
Door
of
Hope
unto
him
,
that
he
should
see
the
Lord's
Blessed
Day
of
his
Heavenly
and
Powerful
Appearance
,
and
,
with
Cornelius
,
waited
and
longed
for
God's
Kingdom
,
and
Powerful
Appearance
unto
his
Soul
.
And
when
that
blessed
Instrument
in
God's
Hand
,
George
Fox
,
came
into
the
North
to
preach
and
declare
the
Everlasting
Gospel
of
Glad
Tidings
to
Mankind
,
and
to
such
who
were
waiting
to
be
delivered
from
the
Bondage
of
Sin
and
Unrighteousness
,
this
Dear
Man
was
glad
and
was
convinced
of
the
Truth
,
which
was
demonstrated
in
the
Evidence
of
God's
Spirit
and
Holy
Power
unto
him
and
many
others
:
So
that
the
Light
and
Truth
broke
up
in
him
,
to
the
breaking
of
his
Heart
before
the
Living
God
,
and
the
making
of
his
Soul
tender
in
Humility
,
and
the
Dispensation
of
the
Spirit
of
true
Judgment
,
and
Burning
seized
on
his
Inward
Man
,
and
pure
Tremblings
before
the
Lord
seized
upon
him
,
and
Judgment
did
so
effectually
take
place
in
the
Operation
of
the
Authority
of
the
Mighty
God
,
that
his
Inward
Man
rejoyced
,
that
now
he
was
come
to
know
one
of
the
Great
Days
of
the
Son
of
Man
.
And
the
Work
of
the
Lord
was
begun
in
his
Heart
,
so
that
his
Soul
cried
mightily
to
God
for
Judgment
,
to
Judge
and
Condemn
for
ever
,
all
that
was
Contrary
to
the
Word
of
his
Pure
Power
.
And
the
Lord
heard
his
true
Cries
,
which
himself
,
by
his
own
Grace
,
had
raised
up
in
him
,
and
extended
his
Mercies
to
him
,
and
fulfilled
that
Saying
,
A
bruised
Reed
shall
be
not
break
,
and
smoaking
Flax
shall
he
not
quench
,
until
he
send
forth
Judgment
to
Victory
.
So
Victory
he
came
to
know
,
and
Deliverance
to
his
Soul
,
through
the
Exercise
of
Faith
and
Patience
in
the
way
of
Righteousness
;
and
the
Lord
raised
him
up
to
be
a
living
Witness
to
his
Heavenly
Power
,
and
the
breaking
forth
of
its
Blessed
Day
of
Light
,
and
sent
him
forth
to
Preach
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
and
to
turn
many
to
Righteousness
;
and
he
became
a
Faithful
Labourer
and
Servant
of
Jesus
Christ
in
his
Harvest
and
Vineyard
,
and
many
are
his
Witnesses
,
how
Faithfully
he
served
God
,
and
how
truly
he
cared
for
the
Flock
of
Jesus
Christ
,
where-ever
he
came
,
and
laboured
in
the
Faith
,
as
one
wholly
given
up
to
Spend
and
be
Spent
,
in
that
Work
the
Lord
had
committed
to
him
.
Many
and
Great
were
his
Sufferings
from
Wicked
Men
who
sometimes
lay
in
wait
for
him
,
to
have
taken
away
his
Life
;
and
tedious
it
would
be
to
repeat
the
Hardships
he
underwent
,
and
great
Sufferings
he
endured
,
by
the
Malicious
instruments
of
Satan
.
But
the
Lord
delivered
him
thorow
all
the
Scourgings
,
Buffetings
and
Evil
Treatments
of
Unreasonable
Men.
As
to
Imprisonment
he
suffered
much
in
several
Prisons
in
this
Nation
,
as
at
Appleby
in
Westmoreland
,
at
York
,
Leicester
and
Coventry
,
and
last
of
all
above
ten
Years
Imprisonment
in
Stafford
,
and
was
there
Premunired
because
he
could
not
Swear
.
He
was
a
Faithful
Prisoner
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
kept
his
Blessed
Testimony
over
the
Heads
of
Wicked
Brutish
Savage
and
Unreasonable
Men
he
met
withall
in
his
Imprisonments
.
It
is
hard
to
utter
what
he
passed
thorow
in
those
Evil
Dens
amongst
such
Savage
Beasts
,
but
the
Lord
upheld
him
,
blessed
him
,
and
delivered
him
out
of
all
;
and
Dear
and
Near
he
was
unto
his
God
who
upheld
him
,
Everlasting
Honour
be
unto
his
Name
:
Deeply
am
I
affected
when
I
read
him
in
the
Sence
of
Life
,
how
Safe
the
Lord
kept
him
,
so
that
the
Course
of
his
Life
was
Eminently
Exemplary
,
so
Grave
,
Tender
and
Humble
he
was
,
and
Self
denying
.
Well
it
is
and
will
be
for
all
who
are
so
truly
preserved
to
God
as
he
was
,
I
am
perswaded
none
can
justly
tax
his
Life
and
Conversation
,
or
present
a
Spot
or
Stain
upon
his
Garment
,
whilst
he
lived
,
after
he
was
called
to
the
Lord's
Work
and
Service
.
Oh!
have
I
said
in
my
Heart
,
What
Happiness
is
it
to
those
who
are
so
kept
and
safely
preserved
,
to
Honour
God
and
Preach
his
Gospel
,
as
well
in
Life
and
Conversation
,
as
in
Words
and
Doctrine
.
And
as
to
his
Testimonies
in
Writing
,
which
are
here
given
forth
to
be
read
,
they
are
plain
and
easie
to
be
understood
by
every
unprejudiced
Person
that
reads
them
in
Simplicity
with
the
Light
of
Christ
,
there
are
various
things
testified
against
the
Sins
and
Evils
of
the
Times
,
for
he
laboured
much
for
the
Nations
and
Peoples
Good
,
that
they
might
be
kept
out
of
Debauchery
,
Wickednesses
,
Games
,
Sportings
and
Evils
of
all
sorts
,
that
if
possible
such
Evils
as
too
much
abounded
in
our
Nation
,
might
not
have
that
Liberty
,
or
Pestilential
Disposition
,
as
to
Leaven
and
beget
People
further
from
God
,
and
as
a
Leprosie
to
spread
over
the
Nation
.
Also
he
was
tender
over
the
Lord
's
Innocent
People
,
lest
they
should
fall
on
the
right
Hand
or
on
the
left
,
and
so
lose
their
Habitations
in
the
Truth
.
He
was
right
spirited
to
discern
the
Wiles
of
Satan
,
and
to
instruct
and
give
Warning
to
such
as
might
be
misled
into
any
Evil
Condition
under
the
Pretence
of
Truth
to
fight
against
it
:
I
believe
he
was
never
known
,
since
he
preached
the
Everlasting
Gospel
committed
to
him
,
to
turn
his
Back
of
any
Enemy
,
to
give
way
to
him
,
of
what
Size
or
Sort
soever
he
was
,
or
how
Subtle
soever
the
Devil
could
make
him
,
the
Lord
gave
him
a
Sight
beyond
the
Subtlety
of
Satan
,
and
when
he
was
Spent
in
the
Service
the
Lord
had
called
him
unto
,
in
a
good
old
Age
,
he
departed
this
Life
,
and
finished
his
Course
with
Joy
and
Everlasting
Rejoycing
,
to
the
Praise
and
Glory
of
the
Everlasting
God
,
who
for
ever
is
to
be
admired
of
all
his
Saints
,
honoured
and
magnified
for
ever
and
for
ever
more
,
World
without
End
.
Amen
.

Thomas
Taylor
's
TESTIMONY
Concerning
his
FATHER
.
A
Short
Testimony
lives
with
me
to
bear
for
my
Dear
Father
,
Thomas
Taylor
,
that
True
and
Faithful
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
who
was
Born
near
Skipton
in
Yorkshire
,
and
was
brought
up
a
Scholar
and
sent
to
the
University
,
and
in
process
of
time
he
came
to
be
a
National
Minister
,
and
so
continued
for
some
Years
;
but
in
those
Days
he
had
not
many
Equals
,
for
he
was
a
Man
of
a
Tender
Spirit
,
seeking
after
a
further
Attainment
of
the
Knowledge
of
God
and
his
Holy
Way
,
whom
to
know
is
Life
Eternal
,
which
the
Lord
in
his
own
due
time
made
known
unto
him
.
After
he
had
heard
the
Word
of
Life
declared
in
the
Demonstration
of
God's
Holy
Spirit
through
his
Faithful
Messenger
George
Fox
,
he
was
then
evidently
Convinced
of
the
Blessed
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
;
he
never
after
turned
his
Back
upon
it
;
many
Days
and
Nights
of
great
Sorrow
and
Anxiety
of
Spirit
he
underwent
,
until
the
Old
Leaven
was
purged
out
by
the
Spirit
of
Judgment
,
and
then
he
became
a
Vessel
of
Honour
fit
for
the
Lord's
Service
,
and
left
his
Benefice
which
he
then
had
at
Richmond
in
Yorkshire
,
not
consulting
with
Flesh
and
Blood
what
he
should
do
for
a
Livelihood
,
but
trusted
the
Lord
that
he
would
provide
for
him
and
his
Family
,
he
having
then
a
Wife
and
Five
small
Children
,
whom
he
afterward
,
through
the
good
Providence
of
God
lived
to
see
brought
up
to
be
Men
and
Women
:
Now
this
Faithful
Servant
of
the
Lord
not
distrusting
of
the
Mercies
of
God
,
gave
up
freely
whatsoever
was
Dear
and
Near
unto
him
,
that
the
Lord
required
of
him
,
that
he
might
win
Christ
the
Lord
,
who
had
Visited
him
with
his
Day-spring
from
on
high
,
and
Ruled
him
by
his
Grace
,
and
gave
unto
him
the
Word
of
Life
to
declare
unto
the
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Men
,
Warning
and
Admonishing
them
to
turn
from
their
evil
ways
,
and
to
seek
the
Lord
whilst
he
might
be
found
;
and
great
was
his
Labours
and
Travels
in
those
Days
,
being
moved
often
to
go
into
Market-places
and
Steeple
houses
,
to
declare
the
Word
of
the
Lord
to
the
People
,
where
he
often
met
with
great
Opposition
and
Sufferings
from
the
Hands
of
Unreasonable
Men
,
but
the
Lord
by
his
Mighty
Power
delivered
him
wonderfully
out
of
their
Hands
,
and
many
long
and
tedious
Imprisonments
this
good
Man
underwent
in
his
Day
,
but
with
great
Patience
and
Contentedness
of
Mind
,
knowing
it
was
for
his
bearing
his
Testimony
to
the
Lord's
Blessed
Truth
,
and
not
for
evil-doing
:
And
this
I
have
further
to
say
for
this
Worthy
and
Honourable
Servant
of
Christ
,
who
loved
not
his
Life
unto
the
Death
,
that
he
might
serve
the
Lord
in
his
Day
,
who
was
a
Faithful
and
True
Minister
of
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
and
laboured
mightily
in
Word
and
Doctrine
,
and
many
in
this
Nation
were
Convinced
by
that
powerful
Word
of
God
that
run
through
him
,
and
they
have
great
Cause
to
Bless
and
Praise
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
even
as
I
may
say
on
his
behalf
,
for
he
was
a
Zealous
Man
for
the
Truth
in
his
Day
,
and
was
one
of
the
Worthies
in
Israel
,
who
went
through
many
Combates
both
with
Professors
and
Prophane
;
and
,
by
the
Assistance
of
God's
Holy
Spirit
,
oftentimes
put
them
to
silence
,
and
the
Truth
prevailed
over
all
,
Blessed
be
the
Name
of
the
Lord
for
Ever
.
And
now
not
being
willing
to
be
too
tedious
to
the
Reader
,
else
I
could
mention
many
more
things
concerning
my
Dear
Father
,
who
was
a
Faithful
Follower
of
the
Lamb
wheresoever
he
led
him
,
through
good
Report
and
bad
Report
,
for
he
valued
nothing
so
much
in
this
World
as
the
Propagation
of
the
Truth
,
for
his
Life
was
hid
with
Christ
in
God
,
at
whose
Right
Hand
there
is

that

Evermore

And
a
little
before
my
Father's
Departure
out

he
lay
upon

Sick-bed
,
several
Friends

came
to
Visit
him
standing
by
him
,
he
being
very
sensible
to
the

,
spoke
on
this
wife
,
I
am
going
to
my
Father
and
your
Father
,
to
my
God
and
your
God
,
and
so
departed
like
a
Lamb
,
and
is
gone
to
his
Everlasting
Rest
,
to
receive
that
weighty
Crown
of
Glory
that
is
laid
up
in
store
for
all
them
that
loves
the
Appearance
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
keeps
their
Garments
unspotted
of
this
World

A
short
TESTIMONY
OF
Hannah
Taylor
,
Concerning
her
Dear
Father
Thomas
Taylor
.
THis
I
have
to
say
,
concerning
this
dear
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
who
followed
the
Lamb
through
many
Tribulations
,
and
wash'd
his
Garmens
white
in
his
Blood
.
That
he
served
the
Lord
with
a
perfect
Heart
,
and
that
he
was
endued
with
the
Spirit
of
Wisdom
and
of
Understanding
in
the
Truth
,
which
he
did
value
above
all
the
World
,
and
all
the
Preferments
thereof
:
For
he
counted
all
as
Dross
and
Dung
,
in
Comparison
of
that
Pearl
of
Price
,
which
he
Laboured
for
both
Night
and
Day
.
Yea
,
for
Sion's
Sake
he
could
not
rest
,
and
for
Jerusalem's
Sake
he
could
not
hold
his
Peace
.
Because
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
was
upon
him
,
and
he
had
Anointed
him
to
be
a
Preacher
of
Glad-Tidings
to
the
House
of
God's
Israel
.
But
he
was
a
Reprover
of
the
Vngodly
,
yea
his
Testimony
was
against
all
Wickedness
and
Evil-doers
.
Yea
,
he
was
clad
with
Zeal
,
as
with
a
Cloak
,
and
with
the
Righteousness
,
which
God
had
put
upon
them
,
as
with
an
Helmet
.
Yea
,
he
was
a
Valiant
Soldier
indeed
,
he
fought
a
good
Fight
,
he
kept
the
Faith
;
and
from
henceforth
for
him
was
laid
up
a
Crown
of
Life
,
which
at
the
time
appointed
he
did
receive
,
with
all
the
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
,
who
rest
from
their
Labour
,
and
their
Works
follow
them
.
Hannah
Taylor
.
Robert
Barrow's
TESTIMONY
Concerning
Thomas
Taylor
.
HE
being
a
Man
with
whom
I
was
Acquainted
and
Conversant
for
the
space
of
Thirty
Years
,
some
part
of
our
Acquaintance
in
the
time
of
our
Notion
and
Outward
Profession
of
Religion
in
the
form
thereof
,
but
the
most
of
our
time
was
after
God
in
Mercy
had
opened
our
Understanding
,
and
revealed
his
Son
in
us
by
the
Word
of
Life
,
and
Spirit
of
Truth
,
to
know
Christ
in
us
the
Hope
of
Glory
.
He
was
Educated
and
Bred
up
at
one
of
the
Colledges
of
Oxford
,
and
became
a
Parish
Preacher
,
and
had
a
Place
in
the
County
of
Westmoreland
,
yet
in
those
Days
he
was
a
Seeking
Man
,
having
Real
Desires
to
understand
the
Things
of
God
,
and
the
Mysteries
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
was
a
Man
of
an
Honest
Life
,
and
Clean
Behaviour
,
and
in
his
Preaching
and
Judgment
was
more
Refined
than
the
rest
of
his
Neighbouring
Priests
,
and
many
of
his
Hearers
were
a
People
commended
of
the
Common
Hireling
Priests
of
the
World
,
which
Priests
Nick-named
his
Hearers
Roundheads
and
Puritans
,
and
many
of
those
so
called
came
frequently
from
the
next
Parish
and
Town
of
Kendall
to
hear
him
,
amongst
whom
I
was
one
;
and
he
used
to
let
John
Audland
and
Francis
Howgill
sometimes
Preach
in
his
Pulpit
in
that
Profession
,
before
either
he
or
they
was
clearly
Convinced
of
or
Come
to
the
Eternal
Truth
,
and
awakened
by
the
Power
of
God
.
And
in
as
much
as
that
while
he
was
a
Publick
Priest
,
he
would
not
Baptize
his
Children
at
the
Font
,
nor
Sign
them
with
the
Sign
of
the
Cross
,
so
that
the
other
Priests
were
offended
at
him
,
and
upon
some
Discourse
about
it
,
they
agreed
upon
a
Dispute
to
be
held
at
Kendall
Parish
Steeple-house
,
where
was
a
very
great
Auditory
,
and
Three
Priests
appeared
against
him
to
prove
Baptizing
of
Infants
by
Scripture
,
which
they
could
not
do
,
and
he
came
over
them
all
,
and
some
of
the
Hearers
run
up
Kendall-street
crying
,
Mr.
Taylor
hath
got
the
Day
!
Mr.
Taylor
hath
got
the
Day
!
which
Outcry
grieved
the
Priests
:
This
was
in
the
Year
1650.
And
about
Two
Years
after
George
Fox
came
into
Westmoreland
,
and
Preached
the
Everlasting
Gospel
and
Power
of
God
,
in
the
Demonstration
of
the
Spirit
of
Eternal
Life
,
and
many
of
those
called
Puritans
was
Convinced
and
Broken
by
the
Power
of
God
.
And
the
said
Thomas
Taylor
was
almost
left
alone
,
it
being
a
very
great
Cross
to
become
a
Fool
to
the
World
,
and
lose
his
Benefit
,
his
Wife
being
a
pretty
high
Woman
,
having
Six
young
Children
,
and
nothing
else
to
live
on
,
yet
he
gave
up
all
,
laying
aside
all
superfluity
of
Naughtiness
,
and
received
with
Meekness
the
Ingrafted
Word
,
which
is
able
to
save
the
Soul
,
and
sanctifie
throughout
in
Body
,
Soul
,
and
Spirit
.
And
shortly
after
Margaret
his
Wife
was
Convinced
,
and
laid
aside
all
her
finery
of
Apparel
,
and
trusted
Providence
for
a
Livelihood
for
her self
and
small
Children
,
and
became
a
very
good
Friend
,
and
kept
the
Faith
,
and
laid
down
her
Head
in
Peace
in
the
Town
of
Stafford
,
a
Year
or
more
after
her
Dear
Husband
Died
,
who
Died
and
was
Buried
in
the
same
Town
of
Stafford
.
So
Thomas
Taylor
having
received
the
Truth
of
God
in
the
Love
of
it
,
and
denied
himself
in
all
things
for
the
sake
of
it
,
in
a
short
time
he
had
his
Mouth
opened
,
by
the
Opening
and
Inspiration
of
the
Word
of
Life
,
by
which
his
Soul
was
then
quickened
,
and
he
concerned
in
the
Motion
of
God
,
and
Authority
of
his
Name
,
to
describe
the
Darkness
of
the
Parish
Hirelings
,
so
that
they
rose
up
against
him
,
and
,
by
the
Aid
of
the
then
Unbelieving
Magistrates
,
got
him
to
Prison
in
Appleby
Goal
,
where
he
grew
in
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
Government
of
Christ
Jesus
,
and
after
he
was
released
out
of
Prison
,
Travelled
abroad
,
and
was
a
Living
Instrument
in
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
to
the
Convincing
of
many
.
And
he
being
a
Man
full
of
Zeal
and
Integrity
,
and
being
filled
with
the
Spirit
,
was
always
in
Truth
's
Service
,
that
when
he
had
been
going
on
the
Road
,
he
commonly
had
a
Word
of
Caution
to
Professor
and
Prophane
;
and
some
of
his
Old
Hearers
who
did
not
receive
Truth
,
I
have
seen
him
speak
to
them
on
the
Market-day
in
Kendall
street
,
and
sometime
go
to
their
Houses
to
exhort
,
admonish
,
and
reprove
,
as
the
Lord
directed
;
or
if
he
had
been
Travelling
on
the
High-way
,
and
seeing
Boys
playing
on
the
First
Day
in
the
Summer-time
,
and
their
Barents
or
Old
People
sitting
besides
them
,
he
would
Preach
to
them
,
so
that
he
was
always
concerned
for
God's
Glory
,
and
Truth
's
Praise
,
and
Propagating
of
his
Glorious
Gospel
of
Peace
:
He
was
a
Man
I
loved
when
he
was
a
Priest
,
and
more
abundantly
when
he
was
a
Gospel
Preacher
:
He
was
a
Comely
Man
of
Person
,
Fair
and
Ruddy
,
his
Hair
Gray
before
he
Died
,
being
of
a
Good
Old
Age.
I
was
at
his
Funeral
in
the
Town
of
Stafford
,
where
was
divers
Hundreds
of
People
;
and
I
was
concerned
in
Testimony
in
the
Lord's
Power
among
them
.
And
though
it
had
been
a
dark
Persecuting
Town
,
●et
divers
of
the
Priest's
Hearers
being
his
Neighbours
,
whose
Children
he
had
Taught
in
the
Prison
,
they
did
there
give
their
Testimonies
,
and
said
,
He
was
a
good
Man
,
and
his
Words
and
Counsel
they
believed
should
never
be
forgot
;
and
further
said
,
They
had
not
such
another
to
Bury
in
the
Town
of
Stafford
.
And
as
he
Lived
Honestly
,
he
Died
Honourably
;
yea
,
even
in
the
Lord
,
and
his
good
Works
follows
him
,
the
Reward
whereof
he
is
in
the
Possession
of
a
Life
that
's
Everlasting
,
out
of
the
reach
of
his
Adversaries

William
Fallowfield's
TESTIMONY
Concerning
Thomas
Taylor
.
THis
short
Testimony
is
with
me
to
give
concerning
Thomas
Taylor
,
having
good
knowledge
of
him
that
he
was
a
Man
of
a
harmless
Life
and
Conversation
,
in
which
he
was
a
good
Savour
,
his
Conversation
confirming
his
Doctrine
,
God
had
undoubtedly
indued
him
with
Patience
,
and
had
committed
to
him
a
Dispensation
of
the
Gospel
,
which
he
was
both
a
Preacher
of
,
and
a
great
Sufferer
for
;
his
Patience
in
his
Sufferings
manifested
his
Christianity
,
he
never
sought
his
Liberty
by
any
indirect
Means
,
but
waited
patiently
till
the
Lord
effected
it
,
and
when
at
Liberty
he
Travelled
much
abroad
,
and
Laboured
much
for
Truth
's
Prosperity
;
God
that
called
him
,
did
in
all
things
fit
him
for
that
Work
in
which
he
imployed
him
,
and
his
Labour
therein
was
very
Effectual
,
both
for
the
Comforting
and
Establishing
those
already
Convinced
,
as
also
for
the
Convincing
of
many
,
as
many
Living
Witnesses
that
he
hath
left
behind
can
Testifie
,
also
the
stopping
of
the
Mouths
of
many
Opposers
:
He
had
a
Word
of
Counsel
to
the
Weak
and
Feeble
,
and
a
sharp
Reprover
of
Disobedient
,
Loose-minded
ones
;
he
was
altogether
Accomplished
for
that
Work
whereunto
his
Lord
called
him
.
And
what
shall
I
say
,
but
that
I
have
Dear
Unity
with
that
Spirit
that
he
was
acted
by
,
and
doth
see
him
in
that
which
is
Immutable
;
his
Bow
was
always
bent
,
and
retained
its
strength
;
his
Arrows
were
sharp
,
and
often
pierced
the
Uncircumcised
;
and
as
one
well
skilled
,
he
mist
not
his
Mark
;
the
Churches
amongst
whom
he
was
Conversant
wants
him
,
for
he
was
a
Faithful
Labourer
in
his
Day
,
he
sought
not
his
own
,
but
others
good
,
walking
according
to
the
Example
of
him
that
called
him
,
in
which
he
was
fervent
and
diligent
,
Preaching
the
Word
both
in
Season
and
out
of
Season
;
and
though
he
be
taken
from
us
as
to
Visibility
,
yet
his
Life
and
Memory
lives
with
us
,
several
sweet
Expressions
came
from
him
in
the
time
of
his
Illness
,
and
was
very
sweetly
kept
in
that
time
of
his
Weakness
;
he
lay
ill
not
long
,
though
for
a
considerable
time
an
Indisposition
of
Body
did
attend
him
,
yet
his
Love
and
Good-will
was
such
to
the
Truth
,
that
,
as
one
striving
against
his
Distemper
,
he
kept
not
his
Chamber
long
,
but
went
to
Meetings
,
and
visited
Friends
,
but
at
last
it
prevailed
over
him
,
and
brought
him
to
his
Bed
,
where
he
Died
the
18th
of
the
First
Month
1681.
in
the
Sixty-fifth
Year
of
●is
Age
:
I
had
Dear
Unity
with
him
,
and
with
those
good
savoury
Expressions
that
proceeded
from
him
,
which
tended
to
Unity
and
Concord
amongst
Friends
,
which
,
while
he
lived
,
he
was
Careful
to
preserve
;
he
had
a
great
Delight
in
it
,
and
laboured
much
for
it
.
In
a
word
,
he
was
a
Man
of
Peace
;
and
as
he
Delighted
in
it
,
now
is
a
Possessor
of
it
,
and
of
that
Joy
that
is
Immutable
,
in
which
he
lives
with
his
God
;
a
Possessor
of
that
Blessedness
and
Reward
,
which
through
the
same
Faith
and
Patience
,
we
that
are
yet
behind
,
shall
assuredly
obtain
as
therein
we
keep
,
in
the
Lord's
time
.
Many
good
things
he
wrote
in
his
Day
;
if
thou
read
this
Book
,
thou
wilt
perceive
and
meet
with
good
Exhortations
in
it
,
which
will
I
hope
tend
to
thy
Strength
and
Incouragement
.

Fallowfield

A
short
TESTIMONY
Concerning
that
Faithful
Servant
of
the
Lord
Thomas
Taylor
,
Whose
Memory
is
Blessed
.
DEAR
Tho
Taylor
he
was
a
Man
who
loved
the
Truth
with
a
sincere
Mind
,
and
sought
the
Honour
thereof
,
and
not
himself
:
He
was
ready
at
all
times
to
speak
a
word
for
God
,
as
there
was
occasion
to
inform
the
Minds
of
People
,
to
that
which
would
stand
them
in
stead
,
when
time
here
shall
be
no
more
:
He
was
a
very
good
Instrument
amongst
us
,
and
a
blessed
Example
in
his
Conversation
,
which
did
bespeak
him
to
be
the
Servant
of
Christ
Jesus
:
He
loved
the
Prosperity
of
Truth
more
than
all
other
things
whatsoever
,
and
for
that
was
he
given
up
in
Soul
,
Body
and
Spirit
,
to
serve
the
Lord
and
his
Generation
Faithfully
,
Travelling
from
Place
to
Place
for
that
end
;
and
as
he
lived
in
the
Truth
,
so
he
finished
his
Testimony
in
the
same
.
And
though
his
Body
be
removed
from
us
,
and
gone
to
the
Earth
from
whence
it
came
,
yet
his
Spirit
lives
amongst
us
,
and
his
Life
shall
never
die
.
Truly
I
am
not
without
a
living
Sence
upon
my
Spirit
,
what
a
Loss
we
have
of
him
amongst
us
,
(
who
was
always
ready
to
serve
the
Truth
,
and
the
least
in
it
,
)
and
Sorrow
is
ready
to
seize
upon
me
in
the
Consideration
thereof
;
yet
when
I
consider
,
that
it
is
according
to
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
I
am
therein
well
content
,
knowing
that
he
hath
this
Advantage
of
us
that
are
left
behind
(
viz.
)
Is
freed
from
Danger
of
falling
into
the
Snares
of
this
World
,
which
we
are
liable
to
whilst
in
this
Body
,
except
we
keep
in
that
which
is
only
able
to
keep
us
whilst
we
remain
here
:
And
I
do
believe
that
the
Lord
will
raise
up
the
same
Life
in
others
to
Testifie
to
the
same
Truth
which
he
lived
in
,
and
that
the
Testimony
thereof
shall
never
fall
:
This
is
great
Comfort
to
me
,
and
all
who
love
the
Lord
,
to
whom
be
living
Praises
,
Honour
,
Glory
and
Obedience
,
given
for
ever
and
for
ever
more
,
from
my
living
Soul
,
which
he
hath
quickned
to
himself
,
by
his
Living
Power
,
and
Heavenly
Life
;
to
him
I
say
be
all
the
Glory
given
now
and
always
.

EPISTLES

TO
FRIENDS
.
MY
Dear
Friends
,
and
longed
after
in
the
Lord
,
whose
Minds
are
turned
in
by
the
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
from
the
Worlds
Worships
and
Ways
,
in
measure
,
to
wait
upon
God
,
that
you
may
learn
by
the
Teaching
of
his
Spirit
in
you
,
how
to
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
who
is
the
Fountain
of
all
your
Soul's
Happiness
;
prize
his
great
Love
to
your
Souls
every
one
of
you
in
particular
,
and
wait
to
receive
the
Law
from
his
own
Mouth
,
to
the
quickning
and
reviving
your
Souls
out
of
the
Death
,
and
for
the
daily
watering
and
refreshing
that
which
lives
of
himself
in
you
;
for
if
the
Spirit
of
him
that
raised
up
Jesus
from
the
Dead
dwell
in
you
,
he
shall
by
that
Spirit
quicken
your
Mortal
Bodies
;
for
all
whose
Hearts
are
purisied
through
the
Faith
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
are
in
the
Covenant
of
that
Everlasting
Love
of
the
Father
,
which
gives
to
all
that
waith
on
him
a
full
Possession
of
the
Inheritance
of
the
Saints
in
Light
;
but
Wo
and
Misery
from
the
Lord
to
the
Unclean
in
the
Earth
:
And
therefore
mind
your
Soul's
Guide
,
which
is
pure
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
be
Faithful
unto
the
Lord
in
whatever
he
makes
manifest
in
you
to
be
his
Will
,
and
let
not
the
Worlds
Frowns
or
Smiles
cause
you
to
draw
back
from
the
Truth
in
any
thing
,
which
the
Saints
have
so
great
Recompence
of
Reward
in
,
but
be
simple
,
be
pure
,
be
harmless
,
be
innocent
,
be
Lambs
,
and
walk
as
Lights
,
amongst
a
Generation
of
crooked
and
devouring
Minds
,
and
think
not
strange
concerning
any
Trial
,
but
imbrace
the
Cross
,
which
is
the
Saints
Rejoicing
,
and
in
Patience
wait
to
see
the
Fleshly
Mind
Crucified
with
it
,
which
would
have
ease
below
God
,
and
do
all
things
in
the
fear
of
God
,
and
let
not
the
Ear
be
open
to
the
Enemy
,
but
mind
that
which
shows
you
the
strait
way
continually
,
and
learn
to
love
one
another
more
and
more
,
for
Love
is
of
God
,
but
none
can
love
as
Brethren
of
Christ
,
but
those
that
love
God
,
and
keep
the
Commandments
;
and
as
you
follow
Christ
in
the
way
of
his
Cross
and
Sufferings
,
you
will
Delight
in
one
anothers
Fellowship
;
but
as
any
depart
from
the
Light
,
and
Iniquity
abounds
in
any
,
the
Love
in
that
Person
waxeth
cold
:
So
God
Almighty
Bless
you
with
his
Everlasting
Mercy
,
to
set
free
your
Minds
from
all
your
Sins
,
to
run
the
way
of
his
Holy
Commandments
;
so
rests
Thomas
Taylor
.

FRIENDS
AT
Stickland-head
.

Power

Amen
.
Thomas
Taylor
your
Brother
and
Companion
in
the
Patience
,
Sufferings
and
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
unto
you
all
sendeth
Greeting
,
and
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
God
doth
hereby
give
you
all
to
understand
,
That
it
is
the
true
Grace
of
God
,
and
Power
of
Life
,
into
which
you
are
called
,
and
which
you
have
received
,
and
wherein
you
stand
,
and
whereby
you
are
inlightned
,
and
have
been
given
to
see
the
old
dead
way
of
Sin
and
Formality
to
avoid
it
;
and
the
good
and
living
way
of
Truth
and
Righteousness
in
Spirit
,
to
embrace
and
follow
it
to
the
Praise
of
our
Holy
Heavenly
Father
World
without
end
:
And
this
Grace
of
God
that
hath
thus
brought
Salvation
to
us
,
and
is
our
Teacher
and
Guide
in
the
good
Way
,
is
the
same
that
would
teach
all
,
and
would
have
all
Men
to
be
Saved
;
and
(
to
that
purpose
)
hath
appeared
to
all
Men
,
to
leave
all
without
Excuse
.
So
Dear
Hearts
,
all
in
the
Light
and
Power
of
this
Pure
Truth
of
our
God
made
manifest
in
us
,
dwell
,
and
therein
let
every
Soul
bathe
it self
,
and
drink
thereof
abundantly
,
and
therewith
be
covered
,
that
as
an
Helmet
,
Sword
and
Buckler
,
it
may
be
unto
all
our
Souls
,
against
all
Ass●ults
of
the
Enemy
,
and
a
sure
Hiding-place
from
Storm
and
Tempest
.
And
the
Lord
God
of
Glory
upon
this
Rock
of
Ages
you
all
preserve
,
that
living
Water
and
living
Bread
,
even
the
Flesh
and
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
,
your
Souls
may
here
feed
upon
,
and
be
perfectly
nourished
with
it
,
up
into
the
Fullness
of
Life
,
and
Perfection
of
Peace
,
for
ever
more
:
That
so
upon
the
Wing
of
this
living
Spirit
,
and
Power
of
our
God
in
Christ
,
we
may
be
all
continually
carried
,
and
under
the
Shadow
thereof
be
warmed
,
and
caused
to
grow
triumph
and
rejoyce
over
all
Weaknesses
,
Wants
,
and
Powers
of
Darkness
whatsoever
:
For
greater
is
he
,
Dear
Hearts
,
that
is
in
us
and
for
us
(
the
glorious
God
)
in
Light
and
Righteousness
,
Ruling
and
Saving
,
than
he
that
is
in
the
World
,
(
the
Power
of
Darkness
)
raging
and
destroying
:
And
the
World
,
with
its
Strength
,
Joy
and
Glory
,
which
deceiveth
and
is
deceived
,
is
to
be
trampled
upon
and
kept
under
foot
,
as
a
thing
that
perisheth
,
and
passeth
away
with
the
Fashion
,
Trouble
and
Remembrance
of
it
:
But
the
Glory
of
our
God
,
and
Goodness
of
his
Love
,
with
the
Power
of
his
Truth
,
Fatness
of
his
House
,
and
Peace
and
Fullness
of
his
Christ
and
Kingdom
endures
for
ever
,
dearly
to
be
prized
of
us
,
Praises
,
Praises
,
everlasting
Praises
to
his
Holy
Glorious
Arm
of
powerful
Love
for
evermore
:
And
let
every
Creature
in
Heaven
and
Earth
Praise
him
,
and
all
his
wonderous
Works
in
us
and
for
us
where
these
shall
come
,
and
in
all
his
redeemed
Ones
every
where
,
glorifie
him
in
Pureness
,
in
the
Immortal
Mansions
of
Light
and
Love
,
that
cannot
change
nor
be
taken
from
us
for
ever
and
ever
.
So
again
,
all
Dear
Hearts
,
Brethren
and
Sisters
in
the
Covenant
of
Life
,
Children
and
Servants
of
the
Most
High
God
,
in
the
Life
and
Strength
of
God
,
and
his
everlasting
Light
of
Truth
,
manifest
,
dwell
and
walk
in
it
indeed
,
grow
over
all
the
World
,
and
Powers
of
Darkness
and
Wickedness
whatsoever
,
that
the
Seed
of
the
Promise
inheriting
,
and
the
Seed
of
the
Serpent
and
Transgression
cast
out
,
you
may
indeed
be
true
Witnesses
of
,
to
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
Good
of
your
precious
Souls
for
ever
:
For
he
that
Believes
,
and
in
the
pure
Faith
truly
waits
,
hath
and
knows
the
Witness
in
himself
,
(
the
Spirit
)
which
he
hath
of
God
for
his
everlasting
Comforter
;
but
the
Witness
of
God
,
and
his
Face
,
is
against
him
that
doth
Evil
,
of
the
Jew
first
,
and
also
of
the
Gentile
:
But
the
Love
of
God
,
and
Glory
to
such
as
continue
Faithful
and
Patient
in
the
Well
doing
bearing
the
Cross
,
and
enduring
it
to
the
End
.
And
Blessed
are
all
that
keep
the
Commandments
of
Life
,
that
they
may
witness
a
daily
Access
and
Freedom
to
the
Tree
of
Life
and
Throne
of
Mercy
,
to
feed
thereon
,
and
Live
for
ever
:
For
now
is
the
Life
arisen
,
and
the
true
Light
,
that
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
appeared
;
and
of
his
Fullness
have
all
we
received
,
even
Grace
for
Grace
;
and
his
Commandments
are
not
now
to
us
Grievous
,
Praise
to
his
Name
for
ever
:
And
our
Rock
is
not
like
the
World's
Rock
,
even
many
of
themselves
already
being
Judges
;
all
Holy
Praises
to
him
that
hath
not
cast
us
off
for
former
Ignorance
and
Unbelief
,
but
hath
in
this
his
day
of
endless
Mercy
stretched
out
his
Arm
of
Power
for
us
,
and
his
Wing
of
Love
over
us
,
even
to
everlasting
Salvation
.
So
be
it
.

TO
FRIENDS
IN
Warwick-shire

Stafford-shire
,
&c.
MY
Dear
Friends

Jesus
,
in
Warwick-shire
,
Stafford-shire
,
Worcester-shire
and
Hereford-shire
,
with
the
parts
thereunto
adjoyning
,
where
my
service
in
the
Lord
hath
been
,
my
tender
Love
in
the
Bowels
of
God
our
Father
,
and
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
doth
dearly
Salute
ye
all
,
Praying
in
the
Spirit
for
you
all
,
and
for
all
Saints
;
that
as
ye
have
received
the
Truth
of
God
through
the
Persecutions
and
Reproaches
of
the
present
times
,
so
you
may
all
with
the
abounding
of
the
Grace
,
Mercy
and
Peace
of
the
Everlasting
God
amongst
you
,
be
found
therein
Continuing
and
Walking
to
the
Glory
of
his
Name
to
the
End
,
to
the
receiving
of
a
full
Reward
,
and
finishing
the
Testimony
of
Christ
amongst
you
to
all
Joy
and
holy
Rejoycing
in
the
Spirit
,
and
to
the
full
assurance
of
Faith
in
the
sight
of
God
our
Father
,
Blessed
for
ever
;
who
hath
chosen
us
,
and
called
us
out
of
the
Death
in
the
Powerful
Word
of
Truth
to
be
his
Children
and
Servants
,
to
bring
forth
Living
Fruits
of
Righteousness
to
his
Glory
;
and
to
bear
his
Name
thro'
the
daily
Cross
and
Sufferings
of
his
Son
before
the
People
of
the
World
,
that
he
,
in
all
things
,
may
be
Honoured
,
who
is
the
Head
Christ
Jesus
,
and
we
his
Members
,
through
the
Operation
of
his
Power
in
us
,
may
be
given
daily
to
feel
the
Glory
of
his
Love
,
which
shed
it self
abroad
in
every
part
of
the
Body
,
by
Vertue
of
Union
with
him
,
and
Fellowship
in
the
Eternal
Spirit
of
Life
.
And
this
is
the
Portion
of
the
Living
Branches
,
who
Faithful
in
his
Work
of
Faith
are
found
,
and
abide
,
not
looking
back
at
the
Glory
of
Egypt
,
nor
murmur
at
the
hardness
of
the
way
,
but
pressing
forward
to
the
Mark
set
before
them
in
Righteousness
,
which
is
of
God
,
where
the
man
of
the
Earth
comes
not
,
but
is
shut
out
for
ever
.
So
God
Almighty
your
Hearts
keep
clean
,
and
your
Understandings
always
open
,
to
discern
the
things
that
differ
,
and
to
chuse
the
things
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
will
be
to
your
Everlasting
Peace
and
Glory
in
the
Kingdom
of
our
Heavenly
Father
,
to
whom
be
all
Glory
and
Honour
for
ever
,
Amen
.
And
now
,
dear
Friends
,
as
for
my
outward
Condition
,
you
may
hereby
know
,
that
it
was
so
ordered
,
that
within
two
or
three
Days
after
I
was
got
to
my
outward
Being
in
the
edge
of
York
shire
,
here
was
an
Assizes
to
be
at
this
Town
,
called
Appleby
in
Westmoreland
,
some
Fourteen
or
Fifteen
Miles
North
of
it
,
whether
I
had
movings
to
come
,
not
knowing
my
service
in
particular
until
I
came
there
;
and
therefore
when
I
was
come
to
the
Town
,
after
pretty
Service
in
the
Town
amongst
the
Country
People
,
I
was
ordered
to
go
into
their
Steeple-house
,
at
the
time
when
the
Sermon
before
the
Judges
,
as
they
call
it
,
was
in
hand
,
and
there
waiting
in
the
Will
of
God
,
and
hearing
unsound
Doctrine
delivered
,
I
was
moved
in
Spirit
Publickly
upon
a
Seat
amongst
them
all
,
immediately
after
the
Man
had
done
to
declare
against
it
,
for
which
they
pu'lld
me
down
,
and
to
fulfil
the
Scripture
,
hawled
me
out
of
their
Synagogue
;
and
as
I
passed
in
their
Hands
amongst
the
Croud
,
through
the
Grave-yard
,
and
into
the
Streets
,
I
Sounded
forth
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Judgments
of
our
God
upon
all
the
Wicked
;
Head
and
Tail
;
and
for
that
,
together
for
what
was
done
in
the
Steeple-house
,
they
further
hawled
me
by
Command
,
as
they
said
,
to
the
Prison
,
the
common
Goal
,
where
I
remained
till
the
next
Day
,
and
then
afterwards
was
led
amongst
the
Fettered
Felons
,
as
they
call
them
,
to
their
Judgment
Seat
three
several
times
:
Thus
was
I
numbred
among
the
Trangsgressors
,
and
made
contented
to
bear
Christ's
Reproach
:
And
,
though
the
Enemies
did
not
only
prepare
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
me
,
and
by
their
Juries
,
as
they
call
them
,
Judged
me
guilty
,
as
they
call
it
,
of
a
Disturbance
;
but
also
the
Judge
whom
God
will
Judge
,
did
set
Five
Marks
Fine
upon
me
,
and
Imprisonment
until
I
should
pay
it
;
though
indeed
the
Disturbance
and
Offence
was
on
their
part
,
for
they
Disturbed
me
in
the
Precious
Work
of
the
Lord
,
and
have
kept
me
hitherto
in
the
Goal
for
my
good
Will
towards
them
,
the
Lord
forgive
them
,
for
they
do
they
know
not
what
;
and
so
,
what
in
them
lieth
,
provoke
the
Wrath
of
God
against
themselves
.
But
Blessed
be
the
Lord
,
tho'
they
have
,
and
do
use
me
as
is
said
;
yet
the
Truth
,
both
at
the
time
of
my
Examination
,
and
since
,
hath
had
Dominion
over
them
,
and
the
Friends
of
Truth
in
the
Country
,
rather
encouraged
to
go
on
in
the
Truth
,
than
any
way
daunted
;
the
Glorious
God
of
our
Life
and
Peace
be
Magnified
:
And
so
let
all
your
Hearts
,
dear
Friends
in
the
Living
Power
and
Truth
of
our
God
,
be
Comforted
and
Established
,
even
to
you
I
Speak
,
who
know
the
goodness
of
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
submit
willingly
unto
it
in
all
things
,
not
to
be
Terrified
at
all
by
the
Enemies
endeavours
,
knowing
that
through
many
Tribulations
we
must
daily
pass
to
the
Kingdom
.
And
this
is
a
Faithful
Saying
,
that
If
we
Suffer
with
Christ
,
we
shall
Reign
with
him
:
And
truly
,
Friends
,
the
Love
of
God
to
my
Soul
hath
been
so
preciously
,
and
is
daily
Manifested
in
this
Prison-Condition
,
that
,
if
it
could
be
Expressed
,
you
would
never
be
much
troubled
after
it
,
at
the
Sufferings
for
the
Truths
Sake
.
So
all
in
the
Light
Walk
,
and
in
the
Power
of
Truth
Dwell
,
that
you
may
bring
forth
Fruits
in
all
things
to
the
Living
God
,
that
in
Peace
you
may
lay
down
your
Heads
,
and
with
joy
give
in
your
Accounts
to
God
continually
,
as
Good
and
Faithful
Stewards
and
Servants
in
his
Vineyard
,
and
work
whereunto
you
are
called
:
And
the
Lord
God
of
Fulness
supply
what
may
seem
wanting
unto
you
,
or
any
of
you
,
in
regard
of
mine
,
or
other
Friends
in
the
Ministry
,
our
absence
in
this
time
;
knowing
that
we
are
not
our
own
,
but
in
the
disposing
of
Him
,
who
Rules
and
Orders
all
according
to
the
good
Pleasure
of
His
own
Will
,
and
that
for
good
in
all
things
,
to
such
as
Fear
Him
,
and
in
Spirit
truly
wait
:
For
truly
,
Friends
,
I
had
thoughts
of
being
up
amongst
you
again
,
may
be
before
this
time
,
if
this
or
the
like
had
not
hindered
,
So
Rests

and
Service

TO
FRIENDS

Dear

,
MY

the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
doth

our
Tender
Father's
Love
,
all
pure
Refreshings
,
and
holy
,
powerful
Strengthning
unto
all
your
Souls
,
that
you
may
be
born
up
and
carried
on
in
the
way
of
his
pure
Fear
,
and
heavenly
Righteousness
,
which
he
hath
brought
you
into
,
and
blessed
you
in
,
to
do
his
Will
,
and
to
glorifie
his
Name
for
Ever
,
that
our
Souls
may
live
together
in
the
sweet
Unity
of
Love
,
Life
and
Peace
with
our
God
,
out
of
the
reach
of
the
present
Evil
World
,
to
sound
forth
his
holy
Praises
World
without
end
,
even
in
and
under
our
own
Vine
and
Fig-tree
Christ
Jesus
,
where
none
can
come
to
make
us
afraid
,
and
where
the
Troublers
of
Israel
neither
do
nor
ever
shall
come
to
disturb
our
Happy
Peace
and
Rest
World
without
end
:
For
,
Dear
Hearts
,
however
things
seem
to
be
in
the
outward
,
yet
truly
God
is
good
to
Israel
,
even
such
as
are
of
a
broken
,
contrite
,
pure
and
clean
Heart
.
So
God
Almighty
you
all
keep
and
preserve
,
even
so
in
his
pure
Love
for
Ever
,
rests
yours
,
all
Dearly
in
the
Love
of
our
Father

A
Loving
and
Seasonable
Advice
TO
THE
Children
of
Light
From
a
BROTHER
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
YE
Children
of
the
Most
High
,
Begotten
to
God
by
the
Word
of
his
Power
,
which
liveth
and
endureth
for
Ever
,
and
who
through
the
Leadings
of
his
Heavenly
Hand
are
brought
through
the
Vail
(
that
is
the
Flesh
)
into
the
Holiest
of
all
,
the
Banqueting-house
of
the
Father
,
where
his
Banner
over
you
is
Love
all
Day
long
,
and
so
are
come
to
read
your
Names
written
in
the
Book
of
Life
,
which
is
a
Mystery
hid
from
all
the
Wisdom
of
the
World
:
I
say
unto
you
,
O
all
ye
Children
of
the
Heavenly
Wisdom
,
keep
your
Habitation
,
keep
in
the
Wisdom
and
Strength
of
the
Lord
God
Almighty
your
Father
,
and
give
not
your
holy
Things
to
Dogs
,
nor
cast
your
Pearls
before
the
Swine
,
for
the
Dogs
will
turn
again
and
rent
you
,
and
the
Swine
will
tread
the
Pearl
under
their
Feet
.
So
be
ye
wise
in
the
dispensing
and
dealing
out
of
your
Heavenly
Father's
Treasures
which
he
hath
betrusted
you
withal
,
and
made
ye
Stewards
of
for
his
Glory
.
O
stand
in
awe
,
and
sin
not
in
this
weighty
Matter
;
be
not
too
lavish
(
amongst
the
wicked
Contenders
)
of
your
Master
's
Choice
Goods
,
to
get
a
Praise
to
your selves
,
but
be
content
to
be
as
Fools
before
them
,
rather
than
to
let
the
Babylonians
into
your
Treasures
,
yea
,
though
they
make
a
dissembling
shew
of
Love
,
lest
a
Judgment
follow
,
as
it
did
to
Hezekiah
,
of
whom
you
may
read
,
Isa.
39.
Chapter
throughout
.
O
my
Friends
,
the
Serpent
is
Subtle
,
and
Herod
is
Cruel
,
and
therefore
wait
in
the
dread
of
the
Lord
God
,
to
feel
and
savour
the
Serpent's
Voice
in
all
;
for
no
more
will
any
that
are
guided
by
the
Serpent
receive
Truth
in
the
Love
of
it
,
though
it
be
never
so
plainly
told
them
where
it
is
,
and
what
it
is
in
it self
,
and
what
it
will
be
to
those
that
receive
it
in
Love
;
I
say
no
more
will
they
love
it
,
than
Herod
did
the
young
Child
,
whom
he
only
enquired
after
that
he
might
slay
him
.
So
we
may
daily
see
that
the
Contenders
and
vain
Enquirers
of
this
present
time
are
of
Herod
and
the
Serpent's
Race
,
who
cannot
endure
to
hear
of
the
Birth
of
that
Seed
that
is
above
every
other
Seed
,
and
is
King
of
the
true
Jews
in
Spirit
,
and
to
whom
all
the
Fleshly
Births
,
under
what
Name
or
Profession
soever
,
must
be
subjected
and
bow
:
And
as
the
love
of
the
Lord
doth
indeed
constrain
us
as
freely
and
abundantly
to
Communicate
of
our
Heavenly
Treasure
to
the
pure
in
Heart
,
who
hunger
and
thirst
after
Righteousness
,
as
we
have
received
them
,
even
so
doth
the
same
Love
and
the
Wisdom
thereof
engage
us
to
do
as
our
Heavenly
Father
doth
,
who
hides
the
things
of
his
Kingdom
from
the
Serpent's
Seed
,
the
Wise
and
Prudent
of
the
World
,
and
so
the
Cross
is
the
safe
way
;
and
so
,
as
we
stand
in
the
Cross
,
our
preaching
is
to
the
Jew
outward
a
stumbling-block
,
and
to
the
Greeks
foolishness
,
as
in
former
Times
,
1
Cor.
1.
And
so
in
all
our
Disputings
and
Reasoning
with
the
World
about
the
Things
of
God's
Kingdom
,
we
must
mind
the
Cross
,
lest
for
want
of
a
Hedge
,
the
wild
Boar
of
the
Forrest
get
in
and
hurt
the
tender
Plants
of
God
.
Friends
,
strive
not
in
your
Wills
for
Victory
,
but
wait
in
the
Light
to
feel
the
Spiritual
Weapon
,
the
sharp
Two-edged
Sword
of
the
Spirit
of
God
to
cut
down
the
Adversary
.
There
came
one
to
Christ
and
said
,
Are
there
few
that
shall
be
saved
?
And
he
said
,
Strive
thou
to
enter
in
at
the
strait
Gate
;
so
his
Answer
was
in
the
Cross
,
and
he
minded
more
the
Edification
of
the
Man's
Soul
,
than
to
please
the
busiebody's
curious
Mind
;
so
we
must
dwell
in
his
Wisdom
,
and
that
will
lead
into
Christ's
Work
.
Another
asked
him
,
What
he
must
do
to
enter
into
Life
?
He
answered
,
What
readest
thou
?
So
to
such
as
profess
Scripture
to
be
their
Rule
,
or
so
to
bring
them
to
the
Obedience
and
Judgment
of
their
Rule
;
and
if
they
cannot
believe
Scripture
,
which
they
acknowledge
to
be
true
,
how
can
they
believe
our
words
whom
they
look
upon
to
be
as
Hereticks
and
Deceivers
.
The
Servant
of
God
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
must
not
strive
,
but
in
Meekness
instructing
them
that
oppose
themselves
to
the
Truth
,
must
seek
to
bring
them
to
the
Truth
,
that
thereby
they
may
be
delivered
out
of
the
Snares
of
Satan
,
whom
their
Ignorance
are
led
Captive
by
him
at
his
Will.
Now
,
the
Servant
of
God
in
this
weighty
Matter
may
consider
what
manner
of
Opposers
these
are
,
whether
they
stand
in
a
lower
or
higher
place
of
wickedness
;
for
some
are
wicked
in
a
high
measure
,
who
will
neither
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
themselves
,
nor
suffer
others
;
as
Elimas
the
Sorcerer
,
Acts
13.9
,
10.
who
withstood
Paul
,
seeking
to
draw
the
Deputy
from
the
Faith
.
These
may
be
more
severely
reproved
,
as
was
thereby
the
Apostle
,
but
still
with
this
Cantion
,
that
all
be
done
by
the
pure
Sword
of
God's
Spirit
,
and
not
by
the
Wrath
of
Man
;
for
the
Wrath
of
Man
works
not
the
Righteousness
of
God
:
And
such
Opposers
as
this
had
Christ
to
do
withal
,
against
whom
he
pronounced
so
many
Woes
,
declaring
their
wicked
Root
,
by
calling
them
Vipers
and
Serpents
,
and
Children
of
their
Father
the
Devil
,
Mat.
23.
throughout
,
and
John
8.44
.
But
to
others
who
are
not
so
high
and
strong
in
their
Wickedness
,
much
Wisdom
,
Tenderness
and
Patience
must
be
used
,
that
if
God
may
at
any
time
give
them
Repentance
,
that
from
the
Darkness
to
the
Light
of
God
they
may
be
turned
,
as
Jude
saith
in
his
Epistle
,
Ver.
22
,
23.
Of
some
have
compassion
,
making
a
difference
,
and
others
save
with
fear
,
pulling
them
out
of
the
Fire
,
hating
even
the
Garments
spotted
by
the
Flesh
.
And
all
my
Dear
Friends
in
Christ
Jesus
,
who
are
at
any
time
called
forth
by
the
Power
of
the
Lord
God
,
to
Encounter
your
Spiritual
Adversaries
,
the
Disputers
of
this
World
,
who
Goliah
like
,
are
so
wise
and
strong
in
their
own
Conceit
,
and
have
so
armed
themselves
with
their
Carnal
Weapons
,
that
they
are
not
afraid
to
defie
Israel
,
yea
,
Israel's
God
:
I
say
,
keep
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
trust
not
to
Saul's
Armour
,
but
wait
to
feel
the
little
Stone
cut
out
of
the
Mountain
without
hands
,
to
hit
the
Enemy
in
the
Forehead
,
and
to
bruise
his
Head
,
and
to
strike
at
his
Feet
,
that
the
false
Foundation
whereon
he
standeth
may
be
removed
,
and
so
the
Image
may
fall
into
nothing
at
once
:
And
in
this
great
Business
,
(
to
wit
,
the
Lord's
Controversie
)
my
Friends
,
always
mind
your
own
Standing
and
Foundation
,
to
keep
close
to
it
,
and
not
to
be
driven
from
it
by
any
means
,
for
the
Enemy
will
seek
to
draw
you
from
your
sure
Ground
,
the
measure
of
Life
and
Experienced
Truth
in
you
,
into
vain
Janglings
and
fruitless
Disputes
,
to
gratifie
their
Corrupt
Minds
,
wherein
is
no
Edification
to
the
Soul
,
which
the
Servant
of
God
must
wait
in
all
things
to
edifie
;
and
though
for
our
Work
herein
we
may
be
accounted
as
Fools
by
the
World
,
who
cannot
judge
but
by
the
outward
Appearance
of
things
,
yet
with
God
shall
we
be
accepted
,
because
Doers
of
his
Will
,
and
our
Jay
in
his
Sight
and
Presence
shall
abide
,
and
none
shall
take
it
from
us
,
as
thus
we
abide
in
God's
Will
,
Work
and
Covenant
,
who
is
over
all
Blessed
for
Evermore
.
And
Friends
,
of
Scorners
we
must
beware
,
for
their
Root
is
Rottenness
,
and
their
Ground
Accursed
,
and
the
good
Seed
in
them
hath
no
place
to
grow
.
And
of
such
as
Professing
Scripture
,
and
Wisdom
,
and
neither
can
nor
will
believe
that
Christ
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
with
sufficient
Grace
or
Light
,
though
John
saith
expresly
,
That
in
the
Word
(
Christ
Jesus
)
was
Life
,
and
that
Life
is
the
Light
of
Men
,
and
the
Light
of
that
Life
shineth
in
Darkness
,
(
to
wit
in
Men
)
lighting
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
;
and
that
such
as
received
him
in
that
his
Appearance
,
to
them
he
gave
Power
to
become
Sons
of
God
,
John
the
first
Chapter
.
I
say
of
these
Unbelievers
before-mentioned
,
it
may
be
truly
said
they
are
Children
of
Darkness
,
and
so
much
is
not
to
be
said
to
them
,
but
even
to
bring
them
to
Christ's
Light
in
them
,
to
know
it
,
and
learn
of
it
,
for
till
then
they
will
never
understand
.
Also
such
Professors
as
have
been
long
Reading
Scripture
,
and
have
heard
the
like
Testimony
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
from
the
Spirit
of
God
in
his
Servants
in
these
Days
,
and
yet
plead
for
outward
Shadows
and
Sounds
,
and
things
that
perish
with
them
,
to
be
the
Way
and
Means
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
are
Ignorant
of
the
Mystery
of
it
in
Man
,
and
so
deny
the
Word
and
Power
of
God
nigh
in
the
Heart
;
and
yet
in
this
their
Darkness
separate
themselves
in
Profession
from
others
,
thinking
themselves
to
be
something
when
indeed
they
are
nothing
;
these
are
to
be
turned
away
from
and
judged
.
As
also
such
as
deny
sinless
Perfection
,
and
so
know
not
the
Birth
of
God
in
Man
,
but
will
plead
for
Sin
,
yea
,
in
the
Regenerate
,
during
term
of
Life
,
as
though
Christ
were
a
Minister
of
Sin
,
and
could
make
nothing
perfect
like
the
weak
Figures
of
the
Law
.
Though
the
Scripture
saith
expresly
,
The
Birth
of
God
sins
not
,
and
he
that
abides
in
Christ
sinneth
not
,
and
that
Christ
the
better
Hope
makes
perfect
.
See
Heb:
7.19
.
and
1
John
1.5
,
6
,
7
,
8
,
9
,
10.
Now
the
Reason
why
the
Law
could
make
nothing
perfect
,
was
because
it
could
not
take
away
Sin
,
and
so
that
Perfection
that
is
not
sinless
is
no
Perfection
at
all
;
therefore
it
's
said
,
That
Christ
by
One-offering
hath
perfected
for
ever
them
that
are
sanctified
,
Heb.
10.14
.
And
behold
the
Lamb
of
God
that
takes
away
the
Sin
of
the
World
.
Amen
.
TO
FRIENDS
That
Abide
in
the
Truth
:
AS
ALSO
To
such
as
are
gone
from
it
.
FRIENDS
all
still
mind
the
Light
of
God
in
you
,
even
that
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
leads
out
of
the
World
,
and
the
Worships
,
Lusts
,
Customs
,
Fashions
,
Traditions
and
Inventions
thereof
up
to
God
from
whom
it
comes
,
which
Light
was
preached
unto
you
in
the
Beginning
,
and
as
your
Minds
were
turned
to
it
and
believed
in
it
,
true
Judgment
was
executed
upon
the
Man
of
Sin
in
you
,
and
through
the
Light
wherein
God's
Saving
Power
is
felt
,
you
became
more
than
Conquerours
over
the
World
and
the
Mind
thereof
,
and
so
you
became
Lovely
in
the
Eye
of
the
Lord
the
Father
of
Light
,
and
so
he
entred
into
Covenant
with
you
,
and
you
became
his
,
and
he
yours
in
Truth
,
Power
and
Righteousness
,
and
his
Banner
over
you
was
Love
,
and
is
Love
to
all
who
have
kept
their
first
Love
,
and
have
continued
Faithful
to
his
Witness
,
and
have
brought
forth
Fruits
to
God
;
you
have
reaped
Life
,
because
you
have
lived
in
the
Spirit
,
and
walked
in
the
Spirit
,
and
sown
to
the
Spirit
of
Life
which
God
hath
freely
given
you
to
profit
withall
,
and
to
be
a
Blessing
unto
you
in
the
midst
of
the
Earth
:
But
to
such
amongst
you
who
came
out
of
Egypt
with
you
,
and
saw
God's
wonderful
Working
at
the
Red
Sea
,
and
came
through
the
Sea
to
the
dry
Land
amongst
the
Israclites
of
God
,
but
are
now
fallen
a
Lusting
in
the
Wilderness
,
and
with
your
Hearts
turned
back
again
into
Egypt
,
and
so
cannot
enter
Rest
with
God's
People
because
of
Unbelief
;
I
say
your
Condition
is
Sad
and
greatly
to
be
lamented
,
and
your
Bondage
is
great
,
that
after
all
your
Experiences
of
Pharoah's
Oppression
,
and
the
Mourning
of
the
Seed
under
his
Yoke
,
and
your
Knowledge
of
God's
great
Power
for
you
at
the
Red
Sea
,
that
you
should
so
soon
forget
your
own
Miseries
,
yea
,
and
the
Mercies
of
God
also
,
in
delivering
of
you
so
Miraculously
from
under
the
Enemies
Power
,
that
you
would
be
,
yea
are
,
in
the
Brick-kills
again
;
What
,
Is
it
the
Onyons
and
Garlick
of
Egypt
,
and
Flesh-pots
,
that
hath
bewitched
you
that
you
are
so
weary
of
the
Lord's
Yoke
,
that
the
Heavenly
Manna
hath
no
Savour
to
you
?
O
Foolish
People
,
How
are
you
bewitched
that
you
should
not
love
,
nor
like
to
follow
the
Truth
,
which
hath
wrought
such
Wonders
for
you
:
O
the
Treacherousness
of
your
Unbelieving
Hearts
,
How
have
they
deceived
your selves
,
and
all
who
looked
for
Good
from
you
?
How
Foolish
and
Unwise
are
you
become
,
to
sell
the
Hope
of
eternal
good
Things
,
for
that
which
you
have
seen
to
be
nothing
but
meer
Husks
,
Shadows
and
Vanity
.
But
now
therefore
,
if
it
be
possible
,
call
in
your
Minds
,
consider
in
your
Hearts
,
what
it
is
that
the
Lord
requireth
of
you
,
you
cannot
be
Happy
without
God
and
his
Truth
,
but
he
can
be
eternally
Happy
and
Glorious
without
you
,
he
can
cloth
himself
,
and
wrap
up
himself
in
eternal
Light
,
Life
,
Power
,
Fullness
and
unspeakable
Glory
and
Satisfaction
without
you
,
but
you
,
without
him
,
cannot
enjoy
one
dram
of
Light
,
Life
,
Comfort
,
Satisfaction
,
or
any
Good
,
for
in
Christ
the
Light
,
God's
Gift
,
all
Fullness
dwells
,
and
out
of
him
,
or
without
him
,
nothing
but
Emptiness
,
Misery
,
Disappointment
and
endless
Woe
;
yea
,
Vanity
of
Vanities
,
and
a
sore
Travel
as
all
things
under
the
Sun
,
in
your
best
Condition
,
without
Truth
,
whilst
here
;
and
endless
Woe
,
without
all
Comfort
,
when
gone
hence
;
Without
me
,
saith
Christ
,
ye
can
do
nothing
:
And
so
say
I
,
Without
Christ
ye
are
nothing
,
nor
have
nothing
,
but
are
meer
Beggars
,
Prodigals
,
Lost
,
Undone
,
Blind
,
Wretched
and
Naked
Out
casts
,
profitable
for
nothing
;
so
Return
,
Return
,
Renent
,
Repent
,
saith
my
Soul
,
in
the
Light
of
the
Living
to
you
all
.
So
be
it
.
TO
FRIENDS
.
MY
Dear
Friends
in
Christ
Jesus
,
who
are
Faithful
in
God's
Covenant
of
Light
and
Life
,
to
dwell
,
grow
and
increase
;
yea
,
and
to
bring
forth
Fruit
of
Righteousness
to
God's
Glory
abundantly
,
my
true
and
tender
Love
salutes
you
all
,
and
my
Spirit
in
God
rejoyceth
because
of
you
all
,
and
I
cannot
but
evermore
,
upon
every
remembrance
of
you
,
Praise
,
Laud
and
Magnifie
the
great
and
glorious
Name
of
our
Heavenly
Father
,
for
his
tender
Love
and
tender
Mercy
to
you
all
,
and
for
the
Power
of
his
Love
in
Christ
,
whereby
he
hath
reached
help
to
your
Souls
in
the
needful
time
,
when
all
help
of
Creatures
was
at
an
end
;
and
hath
raised
you
up
from
the
Dead
,
to
be
his
living
Witnesses
in
the
Day
of
his
Love
to
Israel
,
and
hath
chosen
you
for
his
People
,
and
to
bear
the
Name
of
Sons
and
Daughters
,
Servants
and
Hand-maids
in
his
House
,
to
do
his
Service
,
and
to
bear
his
Name
in
Righteousness
before
the
Children
of
Men.
O
my
Soul
is
even
filled
with
the
sweet
heavenly
Vertue
of
this
Love
of
God
upon
every
Remembrance
of
you
,
even
of
you
all
,
and
every
Member
of
the
Holy
Body
of
Jesus
Christ
in
every
place
:
For
who
can
express
the
Beauty
of
your
Life
,
and
Fullness
of
your
Treasure
which
you
possess
in
his
Love
?
O
Blessed
be
the
God
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
hath
chosen
us
,
and
set
his
pure
Love
upon
us
,
whereby
it
comes
to
pass
,
that
we
are
more
than
Conquerors
over
all
the
things
of
Darkness
,
and
Powers
of
Evil
,
that
would
separate
us
from
his
pure
Love
.
O
Glory
,
Glory
to
his
great
Name
,
who
by
his
pure
Love
hath
begotten
us
again
from
the
Dead
,
into
the
Image
of
his
living
,
pure
and
holy
Nature
of
Love
,
to
love
one
another
,
and
to
reach
forth
pure
Love
in
Spirit
and
Truth
unto
all
;
yea
,
unto
Enemies
,
for
at
the
Birth
of
Jesus
this
was
sounded
forth
by
the
Heavenly
,
even
Peace
on
Earth
,
Good
Will
to
Men.
So
that
when
Men
have
us
,
and
speak
Evil
of
us
,
we
know
they
have
no
Cause
for
it
;
for
if
they
know
our
Love
and
good
Will
to
them
,
they
would
love
us
,
and
much
more
the
Father
of
our
precious
Life
,
by
whom
we
are
begotten
into
such
a
pure
heavenly
Love
,
as
even
labours
and
travels
night
and
day
how
we
may
fulfil
that
great
Service
of
Love
,
and
continual
Duty
of
good
Will
,
that
we
owe
to
the
whole
Creation
of
God
:
For
Oh
how
great
is
the
Bondage
of
a
great
part
of
it
,
as
yet
being
so
burdened
with
the
weight
of
Corruption
that
lyes
upon
it
,
that
it
ever
cries
unto
God
by
reason
of
Oppression
,
and
waits
for
the
Manifestation
and
Enjoyment
of
the
pure
and
holy
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
,
wherein
God
alone
may
be
glorified
,
and
the
Creature
set
free
to
run
in
the
ways
of
his
Commandments
with
Joy
,
and
the
wicked
one
may
be
put
under
into
the
Pit
of
everlasting
Woe
,
there
to
remain
for
ever
.
So
my
Dear
Friends
and
Fellow-Citizens
of
the
New
and
Heavenly
Jerusalem
,
ye
True
and
Faithful
Seed
and
Servants
of
the
everliving
and
true
God
,
do
you
rejoyce
and
lift
up
your
Heads
,
for
from
the
eternal
Fountain
of
Life
and
Love
is
your
Salvation
come
,
your
Portion
is
upon
a
Fat
and
Fruitful
Land
,
not
as
Egypt
watered
by
Mortal
Man
,
but
as
the
Promised
Land
watered
from
Heaven
,
and
made
to
excel
all
Lands
in
Goodness
and
Fruitfulness
;
yea
,
I
know
you
Faithful
ones
are
able
to
read
in
the
Mystery
where
the
Fullness
of
all
is
enjoyed
,
and
all
Barrenness
and
Disappointment
done
away
.
So
my
Dear
Fellow-Members
in
the
Heavenly
Body
and
Faithful
Branches
of
the
living
Vine
,
do
you
rejoyce
and
lift
up
your
tender
Souls
in
God's
Name
,
and
in
his
living
Mercies
at
all
times
;
trust
,
trust
not
in
any
thing
,
but
in
the
Name
and
merciful
Power
of
the
ever-living
God
our
tender
Father
,
and
in
this
Faith
will
be
your
Victory
in
all
things
;
by
this
Faith
will
your
Hearts
be
kept
clean
to
God
alone
,
out
of
all
Defilements
and
Worldly
Intanglements
whatsoever
;
yea
,
and
by
this
Faith
will
you
be
kept
so
continually
a
top
of
all
Powers
of
Darkness
and
Spiritual
Wickedness
whatsoever
,
that
in
Freedom
of
Mind
,
and
Joy
of
Heart
,
you
may
offer
your selves
to
your
Maker
and
Redeemer
as
a
reasonable
Service
,
and
pure
Offering
of
Obedience
to
his
Praise
,
as
is
due
for
ever
and
ever
.
So
my
Beloved
,
in
God's
pure
and
precious
Truth
,
I
am
your
Brother
and
Fellow-Sufferer
for
the
Elections
sake
,
well
satisfied
in
this
through
the
unerring
Spirit
,
that
as
we
abide
Faithful
to
God
in
our
Conditions
,
we
shall
never
want
the
Support
,
Joy
and
Comfort
,
and
daily
Supply
of
his
abundant
Love
,
and
all-sufficient
Grace
;
so
that
we
need
not
fear
the
Terrors
of
the
Night
,
nor
noysom
Plagues
that
destroys
at
Noon-day
,
nor
the
Doing
of
Mortal
Men
,
because
the
Lord
is
become
our
sure
and
safe
Hiding-place
,
and
Castle
of
Defence
,
as
he
was
to
our
Brethren
in
the
Faith
in
all
fore-going
Ages
.
And
what
if
they
say
,
That
we
are
a
Poor
Deceived
and
Contemptible
People
,
it
matters
not
,
seeing
we
have
God's
certain
Truth
in
us
,
the
Foundation
of
our
Building
,
and
God's
gracious
Acceptance
of
us
in
Christ
for
our
Strength
and
Glory
?
And
what
if
Mens
Decrees
be
against
the
Liberty
of
our
Holy
and
Spiritual
Worship
?
We
must
not
be
dismay'd
for
such
things
,
for
so
it
was
in
the
days
of
his
Flesh
,
who
said
,
The
Servant
is
not
greater
than
his
Lord
;
and
he
endured
such
Contradictions
against
himself
for
our
sakes
;
and
he
beheld
his
Father's
Power
,
and
in
it
stood
to
the
overcoming
of
all
Enemies
;
and
so
hath
given
a
good
Example
what
to
do
in
Times
of
Trouble
,
and
whither
to
go
in
Times
of
Need
;
for
he
that
hath
promised
is
near
to
all
that
fly
to
him
for
Succour
who
both
hath
,
and
daily
doth
make
fully
manifest
his
Kindness
and
Faithfulness
in
us
,
and
for
us
,
that
we
might
be
to
him
a
People
,
and
he
to
us
a
God
for
evermore
.
So
into
the
Arms
of
his
eternal
Power
,
and
Bowels
of
everlasting
Love
,
I
commend
you
all
,
to
be
kept
,
comforted
and
carried
over
all
that
would
hurt
you
,
or
hinder
you
from
walking
in
his
good
Way
;
and
rests
your
dear
and
tender
loving
Brother
,
in
the
Patience
and
Kingdom
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
as
Bound
,
yet
Free
,
Glory
to
his
Name
everlasting
.
So
be
it
,
even
Amen
,
Hallelujah
,
Praise
the
Lord
,
saith
my
Spirit
,
in
the
Unity
of
your
precious
Life
,
which
we
have
in
his
Love
.

As

Which

Abiding

And
fitting

Even
all

They
are

Hallelujah

Praise
the

The
Lord
God
Almighty

is
Good

Everlasting

for

But
Howlings

Misery

Wo
will
be
the
cup
Of
all
the

who
in
their

are
up

Exalted
over

that

And
on

these

These
,
these
are
they
,
that
Heavens
fierce
Wrath
must
feel
,
These
must
be
shivered
with
a
Rod
of
Steel
.
Will
God
Almighty
ever
wink
at
such
?
That
of
his
Glory
due
,
him
so
much
grutch
:
And
will
not
suffer
him
the
Earth
to
Inherit
,
Which
by
his
Sufferings
,
as
his
right
,
did
Merit
.
And
through
his
Cross
and
Death
became
right
Heir
Of
every
Substance

Jewel

Precious

Rare
;
Above

Heaven

and
in

below

And
in
the

that
in

He
's
Heir
Apparent
of

,
and
Chief
,
Sure
holden

i'

Though
the
Wick●d

Vngodly
will
not
yield
,
That
he
should
Rule
,
or
his
pure
Scepter
Wield
As
Lord
and
King
,
yet
sure
his
Name
shall
spread
From
East

West

from
North

with
dread

He
shall
arise
as
Lions

He

not

;
Or

his
Work

for
all
the

Of

He

Who

make
Moses

But
,
with

chuse
rather
I'
th'
loss

the

And
say
within

,
Give

give

these

That
we
may
have
our
Lusts
,
and
reign
as
Kings
,
In
this
time
present
which
with
Eye
we
see
;
For
we
believe
not

what
shall
after
be
:
We
like
not
such
harsh
Doctrine
,
as
doth
tell
,
Of
Abrahams
Bosom
,
and
the
Gluttons
Hell
:
For
Pastimes
,
Pleasures
,
and
such
Recreations
As
feed
our

with
Prevarications

Of
all
sorts
,
sizes

manner

form
and
fashion
That
can
be
found
in
City

Is
our
vain
Minds
Desire

Hearts
Delight
;
Here

here
's
the

for

we
Strive

Fight
;
For
which
both
Night

we
Ward

And
thus
at

all

And
for
the
Substance
,
Shadows
Over-worn
.
In
this
they
all
agree
to
set
at
naught
,
The
living
Virtue
,
by
which
Saints
are
taught
,
And
so
at
large
,
the
wicked
Mind
is
left
In
Vnbeli●vers
,
to
make
up
by
theft
,
And
stealth
in
their
out-side
and
vain
Profession
,
What
they
of
Truth
do
want
in
true
Possession
.
But
Babes
of
Zion
feed
upon
that
Bread
,
The
real
Substance
,
Jesus
Christ
,
their
Head
,
Which
came
from
Heaven
,
and
thither
hath
them
led
With
him
to
rest
,
in
his
Eternal
B●d
.
They
feed
upon
him
,
in
the
Mistery
,
Hid
from
the
Raven
and
the
Vulters
Eye
:
For
where
the
Body
is
,
the
Saints
Resort
,
And
there
are
kept
secure
,
as
in
a
Fort
Of
Brass
or
Iron
,
where
the
Table
's
Ready
,
All
day
full
fraught
with
Dainties
for
the
Needy
:
Yea
,
for
the
Needy
and
the
Hungry
Soul
,
To
take
and
freely
Feed
,
without
Controul
.
When
false
,
prophane
Professors
,
in
the
double
Mind
,
Much
seem
and
dream
they
Eat

but
all
's
but
Air

Wind.
Of
Prayers
.
WHen
,
as
a
tuned
Instrument
,
my
Mind
is
in
the
Lord
Well
set
,
and
with
his
Power
Assist
,
O
then
I
can
Record
The
mighty
Acts
and
wonders
great
of
him
that
Rules
on
High
,
And
of
his
great
Magnificence
,
from
whom
the
Heavens
do
fly
,
And
Earth
also
,
when
he
is
pleased
to
make
his
Power
known
In
Mercies
and
in
Judgments
deep
,
for
such
as
are
his
own
;
When
●●e
an
Arm
of
Help
doth
reach
unto
the
needy
Soul
,
When
he
the
daring
Power
of
the
Enemy
doth
Controul
,
O
then
,
I
say
,
what
Treasure
can
before
his
Presence
stand
,
Before
his
Glorious
Face
,
who
is
the
Lord
of
Sea
and
Land
:
Where
Kings
and
Princes
are
as
Dust
,
and
nothing
in
his
sight
,
Yea
all
who
in
their
carnal
Minds
against
his
Glory
fight
:
Yet
he
doth
make
his
Residence
with
every
humble
Heart
,
That
loves
his
Name
,
and
from
his
Truth
by
no
means
can
depart
.
His
presence
is
their
perfect
stay
;
and
they
in
him
can
say
,
He
is
our
Rock
that
nothing
shall
our
Spirits
much
dismay
:
Yea
,
though
our
Troubles
for
a
Night
,
or
so
,
upon
us
lye
,
Yet
in
the
Morning
we
are
Saved
,
as
we
to
him
did
cry
.
So
be
it
.
Concerning
ZION
.
IF
I
Jerusalem
forget
,
a
People
sav'd
from
Pride
,
Then
let
my
Skilful
Hand
forget
the
warbling
Harp
to
guide
:
And
if
Mount
Zion
in
my
Joy
I
do
not
still
set
up
,
Then
let
my
Tongue
cleave
to
my
Mouth
,
and
taste
of
Sorrows
Cup.
(
said
David
.
So
shall
the
Seed
of
David
now
,
in
Heart
and
Pen
endeavour
,
The
Praise
of
Zion
to
Record
,
and
of
her
God
for
ever
:
And
Blessed
are
those
Men
on
Earth
,
that
with
us
now
take
part
,
In
this
our
Work
of
Innocence
,
when
all
the
rest
must
smart
:
For
how
can
Israel
's
Kingdom
be
the
Portion
of
such
Wights
,
As
will
not
have
God's
Truth
to
Raign
,
but
still
against
it
Fights
.
The
Life
more
than
Cloaths
and
Meat
.
O
Lord
God
,
my
Life
is
in
thy
Service
,
and
my
Soul
's
Everlasting
Peace
and
Satisfaction
in
thy
Love
;
all
the
Things
of
this
World
are
of
an
empty
fading
Nature
,
and
yield
not
the
least
true
Content
unto
the
Immortal
Soul
,
but
only
answer
a
Mortal
Necessity
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
Meat
's
for
the
Belly
,
and
the
Belly
for
Meats
,
but
God
will
destroy
both
i●
and
them
;
so
Cloaths
for
the
Back
,
and
the
Back
for
Cloaths
,
but
God
will
destroy
both
it
and
them
;
and
so
for
other
things
of
the
World
,
they
serve
but
only
for
Worldly
and
Temporal
Necessities
;
but
now
Man
,
made
in
the
Image
of
God
,
breaths
after
a
more
Excellent
Good
than
this
World
hath
to
give
;
for
in
the
Soul
,
which
is
Mortal
,
there
abides
an
Immortal
Desire
,
and
from
that
an
Immortal
Cry
after
that
Holy
and
Heavenly
Food
of
Life
,
which
is
in
the
full
Hand
of
God
to
give
,
and
so
when
that
is
received
and
digested
in
the
pure
Mind
,
then
goes
forth
Praises
and
Thanksgivings
to
the
Lord
,
the
pure
and
fall
Fountain
of
all
Everlasting
and
Eternal
good
Things
;
and
so
happy
they
who
come
through
the
Obedience
of
the
Truth
,
to
have
their
Hearts
seasoned
with
this
Heavenly
Salt
of
the
Word
of
God
,
the
Living
Word
which
abides
for
Ever
;
For
in
the
beginning
was
the
Word
,
and
the
Word
was
with
God
,
and
that
Word
was
God
,
and
is
the
Lise
and
Light
of
Man
;
and
all
places
in
Man
,
which
is
not
filled
with
this
Living
Light
,
is
full
of
Darkness
;
and
the
dark
places
of
the
Earth
are
full
of
the
Habitations
of
Unrighteousness
and
Cruelty
,
and
there
is
engendred
all
the
Ravenous
Birds
and
Beasts
of
Prey
,
all
the
fiery
stinging
Serpents
,
and
every
Venemous
Thing
which
annoys
,
hurts
and
disquiets
the
Living
Plant
which
God
hath
planted
in
the
Paradise
of
his
Pleasure
,
and
seeks
to
devour
the
Man-child
as
soon
as
it
is
Born
,
but
into
the
Arms
of
the
Eternal
Power
of
Life
is
the
Babe
taken
,
and
by
the
Choicest
Angel
is
the
Plant
watered
and
defended
,
and
so
the
wicked
is
disappointed
of
his
Prey
,
and
therefore
doth
he
retreat
into
his
Den
of
Darkness
,
gnawing
his
Tongue
because
of
his
Plagues
.
So
be
it
.
O
Lord
our
Strength
and
mighty
Joy
,
How
Glorious
is
thy
Name
within
our
Hearts
:
We
cannot
cease
to
Preach
thy
Truth
,
Though
for
it
,
at
us
Satan
shoot
his
Darts
.
Though
Hell
be
broken
loose
upon
the
Earth
,
To
vent
its
Malice
for
a
little
time
,
And
make
the
Righteous
Man
his
Butt
to
shoot
at
,
Yet
God
will
Plague
them
for
their
mighty
Crime
.
The
greatness
of
their
Evil
passeth
thought
,
Their
Sins
in
number
far
exceeds
the
Sand
;
And
therefore
will
the
Lord
against
them
plead
,
With
all
his
Judgments
in
his
Wrathful
Hand
.
And
though
great
Trials
be
to
try
the
Faith
Of
pure
and
upright
hearted
People
now
;
Yet
that
pure
holy
Power
will
us
defend
,
Who
makes
the
very
Devils
fear
and
bow
.
To
the
Unsatiable
Devourers
of
Strong
Drink
.
WHat
Hellish
Spark
is
that
,
in
your
Inflamed
Brest
,
Which
neither
suffer's
God
nor
Man
to
Rest
;
But
doth
disorder
even
the
whole
Creation
,
Bringing
God's
Judgments
thick
on
every
Nation
.
Ye
will
not
hear
nor
learn
the
thing
that
's
good
,
But
eat
and
drink
up
Sin
your
daily
Food
.
Be
filthy
still
,
ye
filthy
Ones
,
and
when
Your
Measure
is
full
,
your
dreadful
Doom
comes
then
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
HE
that
to
Glory
would
attain
,
And
many
Happy
Days
would
see
,
His
Tongue
from
Evil
must
refrain
,
And
eke
his
Heart
from
Sin
keep
free
.
He
must
both
watch
and
ward
in
Heart
,
And
persevere
in
that
good
deed
,
Lest
Satan
wound
him
with
his
Dart
,
As
he
doth
all
that
take
not
heed
.
Such
must
not
promise
to
themselves
Great
things
on
Earth
,
as
Sinners
do
,
Who
build
,
and
plant
,
and
root
therein
,
As
from
it
they
would
never
go
.
But
he
that
to
the
Heavens
would
come
,
To
dwell
in
that
which
never
fades
,
Must
not
in
the
World
set
up
his
Rest
,
Nor
shelter
under
Mortal
shades
.
TO
MY
Dear
Friends
every
where
.
O
My
Friends
,
and
Faithful
to
God
,
whose
Hearts
are
Tender
and
Zealous
after
the
Lord
and
his
Honour
in
this
day
,
of
the
Tryal
of
our
most
precious
Faith
,
Grace
,
Mercy
and
Power
from
God
the
Father
,
and
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
be
abundantly
multiplied
in
you
,
and
the
Blessed
Arm
of
his
Power
support
you
,
and
carry
you
through
all
the
present
and
future
Tryals
for
the
Gospels
sake
on
Earth
;
for
us
hath
the
Lord
drawn
out
of
the
many
Waters
,
and
set
our
Feet
upon
the
sure
Rock
of
Ages
,
the
tryed
Foundation
,
and
brought
our
Souls
into
the
unmoveable
Rest
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
ever
,
that
we
might
be
to
his
Praise
,
and
Glory
,
and
Honour
for
ever
;
that
he
might
dwell
in
us
,
and
we
in
him
,
for
ever
;
and
so
be
safe
for
ever
under
his
Wing
,
where
the
Wicked
cannot
come
because
of
Unbelief
,
and
that
great
Violence
whereby
they
have
stopt
the
way
of
all
good
from
their
Souls
.
But
now
Dear
Hearts
,
and
Beloved
in
the
Lord
,
you
who
have
loved
the
Light
,
and
received
the
Power
which
makes
all
manifest
,
and
cleanseth
from
all
Sin
,
you
are
Blessed
,
even
the
Blessed
of
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
who
loves
your
Souls
with
a
perfect
Love
,
and
fills
your
Hearts
day
by
day
with
his
Infinite
Goodness
:
Therefore
,
as
a
Recompence
for
all
his
Mercies
,
give
up
your selves
to
his
Holy
Will
in
all
things
,
and
love
the
Lord
the
same
,
our
everlasting
God
and
Father
,
with
all
your
Hearts
,
Souls
,
Mind
and
Strength
,
and
he
will
do
abundantly
for
you
and
us
all
,
even
his
whole
Israel
in
every
place
,
beyond
all
that
we
can
ask
or
think
:
Look
not
out
at
the
World
,
nor
their
Love
nor
Hatred
,
for
they
are
Men
and
not
Gods
;
but
keep
in
the
Sanctuary
of
God
,
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
there
is
Safety
;
with
him
is
the
Well
of
Life
,
which
refreshes
our
Souls
continually
,
and
makes
all
things
easie
and
possible
to
us
through
Faith
in
his
Name
and
Patience
.
So
let
Patience
have
its
perfect
Work
,
for
we
have
daily
need
of
it
,
that
we
may
continually
see
and
feel
the
Love
of
the
Lord
in
the
Land
of
the
Living
,
and
not
be
clouded
with
the
Spirit
of
this
World
,
which
gendreth
to
Bondage
in
any
thing
:
For
if
Lot's
Wife
look
back
,
she
is
presently
turned
into
a
Pillar
of
Salt
;
and
if
the
Israelite
turn
back
but
in
his
Heart
into
Egypt
,
he
is
snared
in
Unbelief
.
So
,
my
Dear
Friends
,
look
up
to
the
Lord
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
and
wait
continually
to
feel
his
living
Presence
in
you
,
to
keep
you
open
and
single
to
him
,
that
of
the
powerful
Spirit
of
his
Holiness
,
which
slays
the
Sin
,
and
quickens
the
Soul
to
God
,
you
may
be
Witnesses
,
and
so
come
to
possess
the
Immortal
Kingdom
,
where
Righteousness
,
Peace
and
Joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
only
reigneth
.
So
,
with
the
Dear
Salvation
of
my
Love
unto
you
all
,
I
commend
you
to
the
Lord
,
to
bless
,
keep
and
water
with
his
Goodness
continually
to
his
Glory
,
who
only
is
Holy
,
and
gives
us
freely
every
good
thing
to
enjoy
both
for
Soul
and
Body
,
who
is
near
to
the
Righteous
in
every
Necessity
,
to
Help
and
Save
to
the
uttermost
:
To
whom
be
Glory
and
Immortal
Praise
:
Even
so
rests
with
you
,
in
the
full
Assurance
of
his
Tender
Mercies
in
Christ
Jesus
,
your
Dear
Brother
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
TO
FRIENDS
.
TO
the
Called
and
Chosen
of
God
,
the
Dear
Vessels
of
Life
and
Glory
in
all
the
Earth
,
doth
the
Tender
Salutation
of
me
your
Dear
Brother
reach
,
who
as
a
feeling
Member
in
the
Holy
Body
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
do
daily
partake
with
you
of
the
Blessed
Joys
of
Life
Eternal
,
and
of
the
present
Sufferings
for
the
same
,
who
therefore
cannot
but
continually
through
the
pure
Love
and
Lifes
Motion
breathe
out
amongst
you
the
Happy
state
of
our
Innocent
Souls
,
because
of
Truth
,
upon
every
Occasion
,
to
the
stirring
up
and
refreshing
of
the
tender
good
thing
,
the
Heavenly
Mind
in
all
,
to
the
joint
Praising
,
Blessing
and
Magnifying
of
the
Lord
's
great
Name
,
for
his
abundant
kindness
towards
every
Particular
Faithful
Ones
for
Ever
and
Ever
;
for
he
is
good
to
Israel
unspeakably
,
unalterably
true
to
them
for
Ever
.
And
now
,
Dear
Friends
,
seeing
God
hath
been
so
gracious
to
us
above
all
the
People
of
the
Earth
,
as
to
set
his
Name
upon
us
in
Righteousness
,
to
the
Amazement
and
Astonishment
of
many
,
and
hath
caused
our
Rod
that
was
dry
(
even
as
others
)
to
flourish
and
bear
Fruits
in
the
midst
of
the
Earth
,
to
the
Praise
of
his
Living
Power
,
as
a
Token
of
his
Acceptance
and
Choice
:
And
seeing
God
hath
so
graciously
performed
his
Promises
to
us
his
Seed
,
made
to
his
Israel
of
Old
,
in
bringing
up
our
Souls
from
Death
,
and
our
Life
from
the
devouring
Sword
,
and
hath
unloosed
our
Tongues
to
speak
of
his
Wonders
in
the
great
Congregation
;
why
shall
we
not
then
speak
good
of
this
the
Name
of
our
God
,
the
true
Everliving
God
,
in
Comparison
of
whom
the
whole
World
,
with
their
many
Idols
,
Gods
and
Lords
are
nothing
?
We
may
not
be
hindred
by
the
Adversary
from
breathing
forth
our
pure
Life
given
us
of
God
for
his
Glory
,
in
a
continual
mention
of
his
Holiness
;
for
if
we
should
be
silent
,
the
very
Stones
would
do
it
;
for
now
is
the
Lord
Jesus
arisen
indeed
,
and
ascended
far
above
all
Heavens
,
Principalities
,
Powers
,
Names
,
and
Greatnesses
whatsoever
,
and
come
again
to
our
Spirits
,
according
to
his
Blessed
Promise
,
that
of
his
unspeakable
Fulness
we
might
all
partake
in
abundance
,
to
the
causing
of
our
Cup
to
overflow
with
all
Holy
and
Heavenly
Consolations
and
Praises
,
for
the
perfect
Salvation
of
our
God
,
to
the
watering
of
every
tender
holy
Plant
in
Israel
,
that
waits
for
the
same
.
For
as
the
Dew
to
the
tender
Herbs
;
so
is
thy
Blessing
,
O
Immanuel
,
to
the
Garden
of
thy
own
planting
thy
Beloved
Plants
,
that
waits
for
thee
amongst
whom
the
pourings
forth
of
thy
Name
is
as
sweet
Ointment
:
And
Blessed
are
all
that
wait
for
thee
,
who
hast
inclosed
thy
Beloved
People
in
the
Arms
of
thy
own
Almightiness
,
and
filled
them
with
thy
own
Blessed
Kingdom
and
Righteousness
,
who
hungred
after
thee
,
even
so
,
Father
of
Life
,
be
it
for
Evermore
to
thy

alone
art
worthy

So
now
,
Dear
Friends
,
into
the
Unity
of
the
Holy
Life
,
Power
and
Spirit
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
let
every
Soul
of
us
gather
and
retire
it self
,
to
be
nourished
up
thereby
,
and
preserved
to
a
daily
and
perfect
Victory
over
all
Temptations
and
Provocations
whatsoever
,
that
upon
the
very
Head
of
the
Serpent
we
may
tread
!
and
let
us
not
look
at
the
seen
things
,
for
therein
lyes
the
Wiles
and
Temptations
,
but
let
us
eye
and
feel
the
Blessed
Invisible
Life
,
and
Powerful
Heavenly
Spirit
of
our
God
,
to
carry
us
through
and
over
all
to
his
Glory
,
who
hath
said
,
That
he
will
never
leave
nor
forsake
his
tender
breathing
Seed
that
waits
on
him
;
so
,
Blessed
are
all
that
are
found
in
this
his
Covenant
,
and
follow
him
as
Dear
Children
,
and
Obedient
Servants
in
the
sure
and
safe
way
of
the
daily
Cross
and
Self-denial
,
to
a
perfect
mortifying
and
subduing
of
the
fleshly
evil
part
,
and
a
full
Resurrection
of
the
spiritual
over
it
,
so
rests
your
Dear
Brother
in
the
Unity
of
the
same
Blessed
,
Living
,
Victorious
Faith

TO
Friends
in
LONDON
.
OYE
my
Dear
Friends
,
and
Beloved
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
City
of
London
,
my
Love
in
the
Lord
:
Our
Life
is
drawn
out
at
this
time
,
to
salute
you
with
an
Epistle
of
pure
and
unfeigned
Love
,
because
you
are
Dear
and
near
unto
my
very
Heart
,
in
the
feeling
Life
which
hath
given
us
the
Blessed
Victory
over
all
Sin
,
and
Works
and
Words
of
Death
,
to
serve
the
Will
of
our
Heavenly
Father
with
all
Fervency
and
Perseverance
in
our
Day
,
Age
and
Generation
,
to
the
Praise
and
Glory
of
his
Grace
in
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
whom
our
Souls
can
never
cease
to
love
,
because
the
Savour
of
his
good
Oyntment
is
ever
fresh
upon
our
Souls
,
and
his
Law
of
Life
it
is
that
we
daily
seel
to
have
set
us
free
,
and
to
keep
us
free
from
the
Law
of
Sin
and
Death
;
Praised
be
the
God
of
our
Salvation
for
his
unspeakable
Gift
,
though
the
Enemy
of
one
hand
say
,
we
are
no
Christians
;
and
on
the
other
hand
,
call
us
a
Form
;
and
bark
at
our
Holy
Unity
,
and
Blessed
Agreement
in
the
ever-living
Truth
,
and
exercise
of
it
,
for
the
good
one
of
another
,
and
Service
of
all
:
Yet
over
all
these
unclean
and
unrighteous
Spirits
,
and
all
others
of
like
nature
,
we
are
more
than
Conquerors
,
and
,
like
a
Rock
,
unmoveable
,
which
the
Enemy
may
split
himself
with
dashing
against
:
Yet
Praised
be
the
Lord
our
Rock
stands
sure
,
for
it
is
Holy
,
Pure
and
Everlasting
,
and
the
Gates
of
Hell
shall
never
be
able
in
the
least
to
prevail
against
it
nor
us
,
as
we
upon
it
continue
,
rooted
and
grounded
in
the
Love
of
God
,
and
one
of
another
,
in
his
Seed
,
where
all
the
Promises
of
Life
and
Salvation
are
,
Yea
and
Amen
for
ever
.
And
so
you
,
my
Dear
Friends
,
and
much
longed
after
in
the
Lord
,
when
I
consider
the
many
Tryals
,
and
great
Contradiction
of
Sinners
of
all
sorts
,
which
for
the
Love
and
Zeal
of
our
Holy
Lord
God
,
and
his
unchangeable
Truth
,
you
have
endured
from
the
beginning
,
my
Heart
is
greatly
affected
with
the
Glory
,
and
cannot
but
Praise
the
Lord
for
you
,
that
you
are
even
become
as
a
Bullwark
of
his
Truth
,
in
the
midst
of
a
crooked
,
degenerate
and
Back-sliding
Nation
,
who
though
like
Sampson's
Foxes
,
they
look
with
Faces
several
ways
,
yet
in
Heart
are
one
,
every
one
with
Firebrands
and
Stings
in
their
Tails
like
Scorpions
,
to
do
Mischief
,
by
stirring
up
the
bad
part
in
People
,
against
the
Simplicity
of
the
Gospel
of
Love
,
and
Life
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
which
would
gather
,
unite
and
heal
all
of
all
their
Soul-Maladies
for
ever
,
if
they
did
not
make
themselves
unworthy
of
.
But
O
how
the
Truth
to
you
doth
still
abide
in
its
Lustre
and
Glory
without
Alteration
,
knowing
that
you
,
as
we
your
Brethren
in
the
same
every
where
,
are
set
for
the
Defence
of
the
Gospel
;
The
Lord
hath
set
his
Love
upon
us
,
and
it
is
from
Everlasting
to
Everlasting
;
and
therefore
in
his
Name
and
perfect
Goodness
may
we
safely
trust
;
and
Storms
will
be
over
,
and
his
unspeakable
Peace
and
Joy
,
which
is
with
us
,
and
hath
so
unspeakably
refreshed
us
,
shall
be
with
us
for
ever
:
We
need
not
go
to
the
Egyptians
for
help
,
as
the
Wicked
do
,
for
in
the
God
of
Israel
is
our
Hope
and
Help
,
who
keeps
Mercy
and
Covenant
with
his
,
Dear
People
,
for
ever
and
ever
.
And
when
I
also
consider
how
the
Samballat
and
Tobias
of
this
Age
say
on
one
hand
,
What
will
these
silly
returning
Captives
do
?
And
on
the
other
,
when
I
see
the
little
Horn
,
with
a
Countenance
more
stout
than
his
Fellows
,
in
his
very
Words
of
Reproach
,
and
Work
of
Scattering
,
tell
of
your
Scattering
whom
God
hath
gathered
,
I
cannot
but
say
,
O
Lord
Bless
thy
People
(
whom
thou
hast
so
powerfully
delivered
)
and
govern
and
keep
their
Hearts
in
perfect
Peace
with
thee
,
through
all
and
over
all
,
even
as
thou
dost
this
day
,
for
ever
and
ever
,
that
many
may
come
to
the
Brightness
of
our
day
,
and
Glory
of
our
Kingdom
,
which
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
of
God
eternal
our
Father
,
who
is
over
all
Blessed
for
ever
.
So
under
the
Shadow
of
his
ever-blessed
Wing
,
my
Dear
Brethren
and
Sisters
dwell
,
and
here
is
the
true
Munition
of
Rocks
,
where
the
Living
Bread
is
sure
,
and
the
Living
Waters
never
fail
,
rests
your
Dear
Brother
in
the
Patience
and
Kingdom
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
at
present
in
outward
Bonds
for
the
Testimony
of
his
Truth
in
this
place
.

And
I
desire
that
this
may
be
communicated
,
as
the
Nature
of
it
requires
,
to
the
whole

in
and
about
the

in
the
precious
Wisdom

with
Bowels

TO

Side

DEar
Friends
,
and
Well-beloved
in
the
Lord
,
Brethren
and
Sisters
in
the
Holy
Covenant
of
his
Everlasting
Love
,
my
very
Heart
and
Soul
doth
dearly
salute
you
all
,
and
often
do
I
remember
you
in
the
Dearest
Affections
of
unfeigned
Love
as
is
meet
,
knowing
your
Love
and
Tenderness
to
God's
Truth
,
and
me
your
Dear
Friend
and
Brother
for
the
Truth
's
sake
from
the
beginning
,
and
how
the
Lord
of
his
Infinite
Love
in
Christ
Jesus
,
hath
separated
us
from
the
present
evil
World
for
himself
,
to
hold
forth
his
Vertues
before
the
Children
of
Men
,
in
a
pure
Life
,
and
so
to
feed
at
his
Table
as
the
Faithful
do
in
the
unspeakable
Fellowship
of
his
Eternal
Spirit
of
Life
and
Peace
,
whereby
,
O
how
often
;
yea
,
how
continually
he
hath
,
and
daily
doth
refresh
,
feed
,
and
strengthen
our
pure
Minds
as
in
the
simplicity
of
our
Hearts
together
or
asunder
(
as
to
the
outward
)
we
have
and
do
daily
wait
upon
him
,
and
in
his
Light
are
staid
upon
his
Power
in
our
inward
Man
,
to
the
Praise
of
his
Glory
,
which
makes
us
that
we
cannot
but
love
him
,
and
one
another
in
and
for
him
,
and
so
we
cannot
but
remember
him
,
and
one
another
;
and
so
pray
for
and
rejoice
in
one
another's
welfare
,
as
living
Members
of
his
Heavenly
Body
,
who
is
over
all
,
God
Blessed
for
Ever
,
who
is
the
Shepherd
and
Bishop
of
our
Souls
,
and
therefore
we
shall
not
want
nor
miscarry
,
as
we
abide
in
his
Love
,
and
this
we
know
,
Dear
Hearts
,
that
as
we
keep
his
Commandments
,
we
do
abide
in
his
Love
,
and
are
at
Rest
in
his
Power
.
Many
from
the
Letter
may
say
,
God
is
their
Shepherd
,
or
so
,
and
therefore
they
shall
not
want
;
but
truly
Friends
,
there
is
none
can
say
this
in
Truth
,
but
who
are
led
by
him
,
and
subject
to
him
in
Heart
and
Life
;
they
are
the
Sheep
of
Christ
who
hear
his
Voice
,
and
follow
him
in
the
Regeneration
,
not
losing
their
first
Love
,
but
growing
and
continuing
in
it
to
the
end
,
perfecting
Holiness
in
the
fear
of
God
,
and
so
working
out
their
Salvation
with
fear
and
trembling
,
knowing
it
is
God
of
his
own
good
pleasure
that
worketh
in
us
to
will
and
to
do
.
O
Friends
,
how
true
we
find
it
,
in
God's
Light
,
that
it
is
not
of
him
that
willeth
nor
runneth
,
but
of
the
Mercifulness
of
our
God
in
Christ
Jesus
to
them
that
believe
,
and
in
pure
Holiness
and
Simplicity
of
Heart
,
wait
upon
him
at
all
times
;
and
this
puts
to
silence
all
Flesh
,
and
keeps
down
all
Boasting
and
fleshly
Confidence
and
Conceitedness
,
to
the
unspeakable
Glory
of
the
Pure
,
Eternal
,
Holy
Name
of
the
Living
God
,
our
Father
,
who
si●s
upon
the
Throne
,
and
is
worthy
of
all
Honour
,
Submission
and
Obedience
for
Evermore
.
For
now
is
the
Lord
God
suckling
the
Babes
of
his
Love
with
the
pure
Milk
of
his
Living
Word
,
and
feeding
the
Men
of
his
House
with
the
strong
Meat
of
his
overcoming
Truth
,
and
giving
them
the
well-refined
Wine
of
his
Kingdom
,
to
make
glad
their
Hearts
over
all
the
Trials
,
and
Tribulations
of
this
present
Life
,
so
that
through
the
Overcoming
Love
of
our
God
we
are
more
than
Conquerors
,
and
shall
never
be
ashamed
,
abiding
in
his
Love
;
for
the
Righteous
are
bold
as
a
Lion
,
and
through
the
help
of
our
God
we
shall
for
ever
leap
over
all
the
Walls
of
Opposition
,
that
the
Enemy
makes
to
hinder
us
in
our
way
,
for
it
's
the
Fearful
,
Unbelieving
and
Disobedient
in
Heart
that
cannot
enter
,
that
cannot
come
into
and
sit
down
with
Abraham
,
Isaac
and
Jacob
in
the
Kingdom
of
God
this
Day
.
But
Praises
to
the
Lord
in
the
height
of
Heaven
for
all
his
unspeakable
Goodness
,
who
over
all
gives
us
the
Victory
by
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
to
whom
be
Glory
Everlasting
,
and
Kingdom
for
Evermore
.
And
,
so
Dear
Friends
,
into
the
Arms
of
the
Lord
's
unspeakable
Love
committing
you
all
,
rests
your
Dearly
Loving
in
the
Truth
of
God
a
Friend
and
Brother
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
Also
Friends
,
you
may
know
that
my
Wife
hath
her
very
Dear
and
Tender
Love
remembred
unto
you
all
,
and
is
dearly
affected
upon
every
remembrance
of
you
,
considering
what
sweet
Refreshment
she
hath
sound
amongst
you
in
your
Holy
Assemblies
,
where
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
hath
been
abundantly
witnessed
by
many
,
and
I
hope
Ever
will
be
,
meeting
together
in
his
Fear
to
wait
upon
him
,
as
you
do
.
And
as
for
our
Condition
here
,
praised
be
the
Lord
it
is
well
;
for
though
my
Bonds
for
the
Gospel
in
this
Place
be
yet
continued
,
yet
some
little
Liberty
of
being
with
my
Wife
and
Family
sometimes
,
at
her
Hired
House
in
this
Town
,
through
the
Tender
Mercy
of
our
God
,
is
granted
me
;
and
so
we
are
made
content
,
and
all
is
good
in
the
Good-will
of
God
,
and
so
our
Souls
are
at
rest
in
his
Love
,
where
we
pray
that
yours
,
and
all
the
Holy
Ones
of
God
in
every
place
,
may
rest
for
Ever
,
and
be
abundantly
satisfied
.
Amen
and
Amen
.
And
so
we
shall
be
glad
to
hear
of
all
your
Welfare
in
the
Lord
as
he
makes
way
.

the

in

thus

Dear

I
could
not
,

thus
in

words
,
breath
out
of

THE

THE
Ever-blessed

let
all
the
Children

the
Night
fear
,
for
they
are
now
fully
to

brought

where
will
the

they
must
come
forth
this
Day
to
the
Righteous
Judgment
of
the
Great
God
,
the
Just
Judge
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
of
Quick
and
Dead
;
Rotten
Raggs
and
Fig-leaves
of
empty
and
filthy
Profession
must
now
be
stripped
off
,
and
the
shameful
Nakedness
of
all
Hypocrites
,
and
unclean
outside
Professors
and
Professions
must
now
be
laid
open
to
the
Glory
of
that
Powerful
God
,
who
hath
long
waited
upon
People
to
teach
them
,
and
to
do
them
good
,
but
they
would
not
,
and
therefore
Desolation
upon
Desolation
,
Overturning
upon
Overturning
will
come
upon
Thee
,
O
thou
Corrupted
Earth
,
with
thy
Inhab●●ants
,
who
are
crying
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
but
never
come
to
do
the
Will
of
the
Holy
Lord
God
in
Earth
as
it
is
done
in
Heaven
;
nay
,
nor
have
so
much
as
a
Mind
thereunto
,
but
are
angry
with
such
as
do
it
:
And
therefore
because
these
Inhabitants
of
the
Corrupt
Earth
rebel
against
the
Light
,
some
under
the
Name
of
Papists
,
and
some
under
the
Name
of
Protestants
,
and
yet
say
in
their
Hearts
,
We
shall
have
Peace
,
and
be
Established
in
our
way
;
the
Lord
hath
said
,
They
shall
have
no
Peace
,
nor
be
Established
in
their
defiled
Ways
;
for
God's
Establishing
of
People
is
now
manifested
to
be
in
Righteousness
,
and
in
nothing
else
.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
now
to
Reign
,
and
the
Scepter
of
his
Kingdom
is
a
Scepter
of
Righteousness
,
and
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
must
be
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Lord
and
his
Christ
,
and
he
must
Reign
,
whose
Right
it
is
for
Ever
and
Ever
;
according
to
Prophesie
.
And
now
it
is
of
the
greatest
Concernment
for
Kings
and
Princes
,
Priests
and
Prelates
,
High
and
Low
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
to
Kiss
the
Son
,
lest
his
Anger
which
they
have
kindled
against
themselves
by
their
sinning
against
his
Light
,
and
grieving
of
his
good
Spirit
by
their
manifest
Transgressions
break
forth
upon
them
,
and
consume
them
to
the
uttermost
:
For
this
is
the
Day
wherein
he
that
's
greater
than
Solomon
is
upon
his
Throne
,
to
execute
Justice
and
Judgment
in
the
Earth
;
and
now
it
is
not
the
flying
of
Cruel
Joab
to
the
Horns
of
the
Altar
shall
save
his
Head
,
for
Fire
is
gone
and
going
forth
from
the
offended
God
,
to
consume
all
false
Worships
,
and
false
Worshippers
,
who
in
the
false
Spirit
and
earthly
Fire
presume
to
come
near
the
Holy
God
;
for
with
his
Fire
,
and
heavenly
Two-edged
Sword
,
is
the
Lord
pleading
with
all
Flesh
;
and
now
many
must
bow
under
his
mighty
Hand
,
that
the
Lord
alone
may
be
exalted
,
for
to
him
must
all
bow
,
and
to
his
Justice
be
made
to
confess
it
is
so
;
and
now
the
Noise
and
Boastings
of
a
Church
,
and
Sacraments
,
and
Services
,
in
their
unclean
,
uncircumcised
,
unmortified
Nature
,
will
do
them
no
more
good
than
the
crying
of
the
false
Jews
of
Old
,
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
!
The
Temple
of
the
Lord
are
we
!

NOW
,
all
you
People
and
Priests
of
the
Earth
,
amongst
all
your
observings
and
gatherings
of
Doctrine
,
observe
with
me
,
and
take
diligent
notice
of
these
few
,
short
,
plain
Doctrines
or
Lesson
from
hence
,
and
Tremble
,
and
Repent
;
to
wit
,
1.
That
Workers
of
Iniquity
,
are
a
filthy
and
bloody
People
.
2.
That
lewd
Priests
or
Teachers
are
Murtherers
,
and
Layers

for
Blood

Lewd
Priests
,
and
Murtherous-minded
Men
,
(
false
Teachers
)
have
in
all
Ages
been
many
a
mighty
Band
,
fitted
to
devour
.
But
Hesea
!
How
didst
thou
escape
this
Bloody
People
,
and
these
Murtherous
Priests
,
these
Lewd
Workers
of
Iniquity
?
Did
they
not
Murther
or
Imprison
thee
,
or
Sue
thee
at
their
Courts
,
for
a
Disturber
of
their
Peace
,
or
for
a
Slander
?
How
didst
thou
,
poor
Lamb
,
escape
these
Wolves
,
these
Bloody
Murtherous
Priests
and
People
.
Thy
Brother
Ames
,
the
Prophet
,
was
accused
by
one
of
these
Murtherous
Priests
,
for
a
Conspirer
against
the
King
,
in
the
midst
of
the
House
of
Israel
,
and
that
the
Land
was
not
able
to
bear
his
Words
,
Amos
,

&c.
And
thy
Brother
Jeremiah
was
cast
into
a
dirty
Dungeon
,
almost
unto
Death
,
besides
the
other
Beatings
,
Further
,
Oh
all
People
!
You
may
hence
observe
,
and
take
diligent
notice
for
your
good
,
that
it
hath
been
an
old
Custom
of
the
World's
Teachers
,
such
as
are
called
,
of
Men
,
Master
,

and
who
Preach
for
Hire
,
Micah
3.
and
seek
their
Gain
from
their
Quarters
,
Isa.
56.
I
say
,
that
it
hath
been
an
old
Custom
of
such
Wolves
to
Murther
Souls
and
People
of
God
;
for
in
some
Scriptures
is
mention
made
of
the
Spiritual
,
and
in
others
of
the
Bodily
Murther
,
that
they
had
,
and
would
be
guilty
of
.
And
further
take
notice
,
that
these
Banding
Priests
are
a
lewd
Generation
;
which
,
in
other
Expressions
,
is
all
one
as
to
say
,
Thieves
,
Whores
and
Harlots
;
and
so
indeed
they
are
also
in
Scripture
usually
said
to
be
;
and
therefore
Typed
,
and
set
forth
under
the
name
of
Painted
Whorish
Jezabel
,
and
the
Well-favoured
,
Harlot
;
and
here
,
under
the
Similitude
of
Troops
of
Robbers
,
waiting
for
a
Man
;
and
Paul
calls
them
,
Ministers
of
Satan
,
having
a
form
of
Godliness
,
denying
and
resisting
the
Power
and
Truth
of
Godliness
:
And
therefore
(
Oh
all
People
!
)
you
are
Exhorted
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
to
turn
away
from
them
;
yea
,
and
commanded
to
come
out
from
amongst
them
,
upon
pain
of
Eternal
Death

Read

if

things
be
not
so
,
and
Fear
the
Living
God
,
and
Bow
to
Truth
,
and
be
Exhorted
and
Perswaded
all
People
,
now
at
length
to
learn
Wisdom
,
and
to
understand
whom
you
follow
;
for
you
see
the
Scripture
tells
of
Murtherous
Lewd
Priests
that
stood
over
the
People
for
Teachers
in
former
Days
;
and
in
Christ's
time
there
was
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
Hypocrites
,
who
were
taken
by
the
blind
People
to
be
sufficient
Guides
and
Teachers
,
Blind
Guides
,
Children
of
the
Devil
,
Painted
Sepulchres
,
Whited
Walls
;
yea
,
Vipers
and
Serpents
.
And
so
you
People
that
gather
together
to
the
Steeple-house
,
which
you
call
your
Church
,
when
you
hear
your
Teachers
;
who
,
now-a-days
,
go
under
the
name
of
Ministers
with
you
,
take
a
Scripture
,
and
out
of
it
chuse
a
Verse
(
or
so
)
of
a
Chapter
,
according
to
their
Wills
,
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
calls
it
their
Text
,
and
from
it
draws
Doctrines
,
and
Reasons
,
and
Uses
,
as
they
call
them
,
ask
them
whether
there
be
any
such
Company
of
False
Teachers
now-a-days
in
England
to
be
found
,
as
this
Scripture
speaks
of
,
who
as
Troops
of
Robbers
wait
for
a
Man
,
so
wait
to
Murther
in
the
way
by
consent
:
And
who
they
are
,
and
what
,
and
who
they
Murther
;
and
with
what
they
Murther
;
and
how
these
Murtherers
may
be
known
;
what
be
their
Fruits
,
For
by
their
Fruits
ye
shall
know
them
,
saith
Christ
.
And
ask
them
further
,
Whether
these
False
Teachers
,
which
the
Prophet
Hosea
here
calls
lewd
Murtherers
,
be
not
the
same
in
Nature
with
those
which
Isaiah
,
in
the
56.
Chap.
and
10
v.
of
his
Prophesie
,
calls
greedy
dumb
Dogs
,
that
sought
their
Gain
from
their
quarter
,
and
could
never
have
enough
:
And
the
same
that
Jeremiah
spoke
of
in
Chap.
5.
ver.
1
,
2.
&
23.
Chap.
of
his
Prophesie
throughout
,
That
stole
the
word
from
their
Neighbour
,
and
used
their
Tongue
,
and
said
,
he
saith
,
when
the
Lord
never
sent
them
,
and
so
could
not
profit
the
People
at
all
.
And
whether
they
be
not
the
same
that
Micah
the
Prophet
(
Mic.
3
5
,
&c.
)
speaks
of
,
who
preached
for
Hire
,
and
divined
for
Money
,
and
spake
Peace
to
the
Wicked
for
the
Gift
sake
,
but
if
any
put
not
into
their
Mouths
,
they
prepared
War
against
them
,
and
yet
like
all
Hypocrites
would
lean
upon
the
Lord
in
words
,
and
say
,
Is
not
the
Lord
amongst
us
?
No
Evil
shall
come
unto
us
.
And
whether
these
murtherous
Priests
were
not
one
with
those
that
Christ
Jesus
cried
Woe
against
in
Matt.
23.
Who
were
Sayers
,
and
not
Doers
;
who
loved
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
,
and
bound
heavy
Burthens
upon
the
People
,
and
touched
them
not
with
one
of
their
own
Fingers
,
but
shut
up
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
Men
,
and
would
neither
enter
in
themselves
,
nor
suffer
others
.
And
finally
,
ask
them
whether
such
Men
now
,
as
stand
over
the
People
for
Teachers
,
though
under
another
Name
,
and
making
another
Profession
in
words
,
yet
if
they
be
found
in
the
foresaid
steps
,
doing
the
foresaid
Deeds
of
those
forementioned
False
Teachers
,
are
not
to
receive
the
same
Judgment
,
and
to
be
cried
against
and
denied
,
and
forsaken
by
all
the
Children
of
Light
now
,
as
formerly
,
Yea
or
Nay
.
And
now
Hosea
,
thou
Holy
Prophet
of
God
,
thou
hast
said
and
laid
down
these
two
Doctrines
or
high
Charges
against
the
People
in
general
,
and
against
the
Priests
in
particular
:
The
first
,
That
the
People
in
general
are
polluted
with
Blood
.
The
second
,
That
as
Troops
of
Robbers
wait
for
a
Man
,
so
the
company
of
Priests
Murther
in
the
way
by
Consent
.
How
dost
thou
prove
and
make
these
good
,
for
the
Gileadites
are
deeply
concerned
in
it
;
and
they
will
have
thee
to
make
it
good
,
or
suffer
for
default
?
Yea
,
by
the
Spirit
I
make
it
good
,
thus
:
Gilead
is
a
City
polluted
with
Blood
,
because
they
are
such
as
work
Iniquity
;
and
the
Priests
Murther
in
the
way
by
Consent
,
because
they
commit
Lewdness
:
And
this
is
witnessed
not
only
by
the
Scriptures
,
but
also
by
the
same
Spirit
of
Truth
that
gave
it
forth
in
all
the
Children
of
Light
to
be
so
.
But
Hosea
,
thou
must
not
be
tried
per
pares
,
that
is
,
them
of
like
Condition
or
Quality
with
thee
,
to
wit
,
the
Holy
Prophets
and
Children
of
God
,
who
are
Witnesses
with
thee
against
the
Abominations
of
their
Times
,
and
Sins
that
rules
in
Priests
and
People
,
for
that
will
not
satisfie
nor
serve
the
Gil●adites
turn
,
for
so
the
great
Men
of
all
sorts
in
City
and
Country
would
be
sound
faulty
:
But
these
Priests
and
People
think
it
fit
(
according
to
their
Nation-Law
)
to
have
a
Judge
and
Justices
sit
upon
the
Bench
,
and
to
have
a
Jury
of
Inquest
summoned
,
and
to
have
a
Bill
of
Indictment
found
against
thee
,
and
then
if
thou
plead
thy
Innocency
,
and
say
thou
art
not
guilty
of
doing
them
any
Wrong
,
but
only
thou
spoke
as
thou
was
moved
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
then
thou
must
have
,
as
they
pretend
,
a
fair
Trial
,
(
for
thou
must
know
that
the
Gileadites
cannot
believe
thy
Witness
,
nor
any
for
thee
from
that
Spirit
only
)
but
this
fair
Trial
must
not
be
by
Spiritual
Men
,
who
only
are
able
to
judge
of
Spiritual
Things
,
for
the
Gileadites
know
not
their
Voice
no
more
than
thine
,
Oh
Prophet
!
but
it
must
be
further
,
by
another
Company
of
these
Men
whom
thou
hast
said
are
Workers
of
Iniquity
,
and
polluted
with
Blood
,
and
so
are
Parties
;
and
these
must
judge
of
thee
;
and
these
(
says
the
World
)
are
a
Grand
Jury
,
a
Company
of
substantial
Men
of
the
Country
,
Sworn
Men
(
Mark
,
out
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
for
his
Yea
is
Yea
,
and
his
Nay
is
Nay
,
without
an
Oath
.
)
And
these
Men
(
the
Grand
Jury
)
must
bring
in
their
Verdict
(
as
they
call
it
)
against
thee
,
for
they
have
found
thee
Guilty
,
(
for
thou
hast
nothing
on
thy
side
but
plain
Truth
,
without
Man's
Testimony
,
or
an
Oath
)
and
the
Judge
of
the
Court
(
one
of
the
chief
Men
among
the
Gileadites
that
is
versed
in
Law-matters
)
thinks
it
fit
thou
should
be
fined
to
pay
a
Sum
of
Money
for
thy
Offence
,
(
Oh
Prophet
!
thou
Man
of
God!
)
and
be
kept
in
Prison
(
Summer
and
Winter
,
that
matters
not
)
until
thou
pay
it
:
But
what
(
Oh
Prophet
!
)
if
thou
hast
neither
liberty
in
thy
Spirit
,
nor
outward
Ability
to
pay
thy
Fine
,
What
course
must
be
taken
with
thee
?
Well
,
for
that
(
O
Prophet
!
)
Gilead
matters
not
,
but
imprisoned
thou
must
remain
,
for
so
Gilead
will
be
quit
of
thee
,
and
thou
cannot
come
into
their
Synagogues
,
Markets
,
nor
other
Assemblies
,
to
cry
against
their
Sins
,
and
disturb
them
,
for
the
People
and
Priests
would
live
quietly
in
their
Sins
,
and
they
would
not
be
disturbed
neither
in
the
time
of
their
Service
,
nor
otherwise
.
And
H●sea
,
that
thou
mayst
have
no
occasion
to
find
fault
with
the
Jury
,
or
the
Judge
,
one
of
these
Priests
whom
thou
hast
by
the
Spirit
declared
to
be
Murtherers
and
lewd
Men
,
have
taken
an
Oath
in
open
Court
against
thee
;
and
dost
thou
think
that
though
they
be
a
lewd
and
murtherous
Generation
,
that
they
will
also
Swear
falsly
;
and
so
what
by
one
means
,
and
what
by
another
,
oh
Prophet
,
thou
art
fair
to
come
into
Bonds
for
thy
Testimonies
sake
:
But
what
,
oh
Court
,
will
you
not
hear
the
Prophet's
witness
?
Speak
,
No
,
no
,
they
will
not
Swear
,
but
they
will
have
their
Yea
and
Nay
to
stand
for
Truth
without
more
ado
,
as
their
Master
Christ
(
they
say
)
hath
taught
them
;
and
they
are
Disturbers
of
our
Peace
as
well
as
thy self
,
oh
Hosea
!
And
unless
some
such
course
as
this
be
used
with
you
,
Gilead
cannot
Sin
and
be
quiet
,
neither
can
the
Priests
Murther
by
consent
,
but
be
told
of
it
;
and
therefore
to
Prison
must
thou
go
,
and
be
numbred
with
the
Transgressors
,
as
(
the
Disturber
of
the
Wicked's
Peace
)
Christ
Jesus
thy
Master
was
.
But
what
Care
do
these
Priests
and
People
,
that
have
put
thee
in
Prison
,
take
for
thy
Lodging
and
Diet
in
the
long
cold
Winter-time
?
O!
for
that
they
matter
not
,
for
they
are
as
careless
over
their
own
Members
,
them
of
their
own
polluted
Church
,
(
who
divers
of
them
are
left
in
Prison
upon
other
accounts
)
as
well
as
over
thee
.
And
so
unless
thou
be
provided
for
otherwise
,
thou
mayst
remain
there
in
Misery
and
Want
,
or
Perish
there
as
well
as
they
,
for
any
Care
they
will
have
of
thee
,
for
thou
must
not
look
that
they
that
hate
their
own
Flesh
can
love
thine
.
But
the
Righteous
cannot
be
forsaken
,
for
their
Keeper
is
the
Lord
God
of
Truth
and
Love
.
So
(
O
Prophet
)
be
content
,
and
wait
in
the
Will
of
God
in
thy
Condition
;
for
,
Blessed
are
they
that
Suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
;
and
the
Scripture
must
be
fulfilled
which
saith
,
They
shall
hawl
you
out
of
their
Synagogues
,
and
many
other
ways
evil
intreat
you
;
yea
,
some
of
you
they
shall
put
to
Death
,
and
think
therein
they
do
God
Service
:
And
so
wait
to
see
the
Sins
of
Gilead
full
;
and
then
in
the
Judgment
shalt
thou
,
O
Prophet
of
God
,
and
all
thy
Suffering
Brethren
,
rejoyce
,
and
all
the
Workers
of
Iniquity
be
Confounded
,
with
all
that
Thirst
for
Blood
;
and
into
the
Holy
City
shall
none
such
enter
;
but
the
pure
in
Heart
,
who
have
come
through
the
great
Tribulation
,
and
have
washed
their
Garments
white
in
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
,
shall
only
enter
,
and
alone
inherit
,
to
the
Glory
of
the
eternal
righteous
God
for
evermore
;
to
whom
all
Honour
and
Glory
is
due
,
for
ever
and
ever
,
Amen
and
Amen
.
And
now
for
the
Use
of
these
Doctrines
,
oh
Priests
and
People
,
that
make
a
Trade
of
talking
of
the
Scripture
of
Truth
,
and
Uses
from
it
,
now
and
then
in
your
high
Places
,
but
make
none
of
walking
in
the
Truth
in
your
daily
Conversation
,
it
is
to
let
you
see
,
That
there
were
Wolves
in
Sheeps
Clothing
formerly
,
and
so
to
find
such
now
,
is
no
new
or
strange
thing
.
And
,
That
under
a
Profession
of
God
,
People
may
be
found
Workers
of
Iniquity
,
and
full
of
Blood
.
And
,
That
a
whorish
Spirit
,
in
a
Teacher
,
is
a
murtherous
Spirit
,
and
will
draw
others
from
God
into
Wheredoms
and
Death
,
and
so
by
all
means
to
be
taken
heed
of
.
And
it
is
to
let
you
see
,
oh
all
People
,
what
evil
use
the
Priests
and
Leaders
of
you
the
People
in
these
days
(
as
formerly
)
make
of
the
Scripture
;
for
whereas
(
as
you
may
see
here
)
it
was
given
forth
by
the
Holy
Men
of
God
,
a
Witness
against
the
Enemies
of
God
,
and
for
the
Servants
of
God
,
such
People
and
Priests
(
as
formerly
,
so
now
)
abuse
and
wrest
it
from
its
proper
Mind
.
Use
and
End
,
going
about
,
what
in
them
lieth
,
to
make
it
speak
for
Deceit
and
its
Upholders
,
and
against
Truth
and
its
Followers
,
as
is
manifest
:
For
whereas
the
Scripture
speaks
of
no
Worship
now
,
nor
Worshippers
to
be
acceptable
to
God
and
Christ
,
but
that
which
is
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
they
wrest
,
and
force
the
Scripture
for
carrying
on
a
Worship
which
stands
in
outward
Ceremonies
,
carnal
Ordinances
,
Types
and
Shadows
,
and
a
Kingdom
to
come
in
outward
Observations
,
as
Lo
here
,
lo
there
,
like
the
Jews
,
which
a
Man
of
Flesh
,
a
C●in
,
or
an
Ishmael
,
or
an
Esau
,
or
a
Haman
,
or
a
Dives
,
or
a
Judas
may
conform
unto
,
and
be
accepted
with
them
,
just
contrary
to
Scripture
,
and
so
in
effect
deny
Christ
the
Substance
to
be
come
;
and
as
the
Scribes
and
Pharisees
which
came
to
Christ
,
and
said
,
Why
dost
thou
and
thy
Disciples
break
the
Traditions
of
the
Elders
,
in
eating
with
unwashen
hands
?
To
whom
Christ
said
,
Why
do
you
make
void
the
Law
of
God
by
your
Traditions
?
mentioning
in
particular
their
Corban
.
So
when
the
Priests
(
the
Teachers
)
heaped
up
over
the
People
in
this
Age
,
say
unto
us
(
whom
God
,
by
his
mighty
Power
and
out-stretched
Arm
hath
delivered
out
of
Mystery
Babylon
,
yea
Sodom
and
Egypt
Spiritual
,
where
the
Witnesses
lay
flain
,
and
where
our
Lord
also
was
Crucified
,
to
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
,
)
I
say
,
When
they
object
and
say
unto
us
,
Why
do
you
not
observe
,
but
transgress
the
Tradition
of
the
Elders
,
in
not
bringing
your
Infants
to
Baptism
;
in
not
frequenting
the
Meeting
at
the
Steeple-house
,
called
the
Church
?
And
why
pay
you
not
the
Priest
,
now
called
Minster
,
his
Tythes
,
Easter-Reckonings
,
and
other
like
things
,
called
his
Dues
?
And
why
observe
you
not
the
Customs
of
the
World
,
in
Swearing
at
Courts
,
and
bowing
the
Hat
and
Knee
,
and
giving
flattering
Titles
to
Men
,
Job
32.21
,
22.
and
bidding
God
speed
to
the
Wicked
,
and
the
like
?
2
John
v.
9
,
&c.
Our
Answer
to
all
such
is
,
Why
do
you
break
the
Commands
of
God
by
your
Traditions
,
teaching
for
Doctrine
these
and
the
like
things
,
which
are
meerly
your
own
Commandments
and
evil
Customs
,
and
not
the
Commands
of
God
?
For
we
put
you
(
all
Teachers
and
People
)
to
prove
by
Scripture
,
where
we
are
commanded
these
things
you
put
upon
us
to
do
;
and
if
you
do
not
,
(
which
we
know
you
cannot
)
then
I
say
,
your
gathering
together
in
Companies
,
and
going
about
to
establish
such
things
by
a
Law
,
for
any
People
to
observe
,
which
Christ
hath
not
commanded
:
See
how
you
can
free
your selves
from
the
Charge
which
the
Prophet
here
lays
upon
the
People
of
Gilead
,
and
the
Priests
thereof
;
and
therefore
why
may
not
the
words
be
turned
upon
you
,
and
applied
to
your
Condition
,
with
the
Names
only
changed
after
this
manner
,
that
is
,
England
is
a
Nation
of
them
that
work
Iniquity
,
and
is
polluted
with
Blood
;
and
as
Troops
of
Robbers
wait
for
a
Man
,
so
the
Company
of
Hireling
Teachers
,
called
of
Men
Ministers
and
Masters
,
murther
in
the
way
by
consent
,
for
they
commit
Lewdness
.
And
therefore
high
time
for
you
all
People
who
love
your
Souls
,
and
would
not
be
murthered
,
to
look
about
you
,
and
in
the
Light
which-Christ
hath
lighted
you
with
,
to
watch
,
and
take
heed
that
you
be
●ot
robbed
and
spoiled
of
the
Heavenly
Treasure
,
by
these
Layers
in
wait
,
as
you
would
be
careful
to
avoid
a
Troop
of
Robbers
that
wait
for
a
Man
;
so
all
having
time
,
prize
it
,
and
come
out
from
among
them
,
and
know
Christ
in
you
to
be
your
Teacher
,
for
he
is
the
true
Light
,
that
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
that
all
in
him
should
believe
;
and
he
is
come
to
teach
his
People
himself
,
and
to
deliver
them
by
his
Power
and
Spirit
,
from
the
Hands
and
Mouths
of
all
such
as
have
made
,
and
would
still
make
a
Prey
upon
them
,
according
as
he
promised
of
old
by
his
Servants
,
who
spoke
and
wrote
from
his
Mouth
of
these
things
,
as
you
may
read
in
Scripture
all
abroad
,
and
namely
in
Deut.
18.15
,
&c.

54.13

throughout
.
And
the
Scripture
cannot
be
broken
,
For
behold
,
the
days
come
,
saith
the
Lord
,
that
I
will
perform
the
good
thing
which
I
have
promised
to
the
House
of
Israel
,
and
to
the
House
of
Judah
,
Jer.
33.14
.
Now
all
People
know
that
these
are
the
days
of
fulfilling
these
Scriptures
,
and
the
Destruction
of
Antichrist
,
and
the
setting
up
of
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
,
not
by
might
,
nor
by
Power
,
but
by
the
Spirit
of
the
living
Lord
God
believed
and
witnessed
by
,
and
amongst
us
who
are
reproached
by
many
for
the
Truth
's
sake
,
under
the
name
of
Quakers
;
but
the
Reproach
of
Christ
is
to
us
great
Riches
;
and
the
Scorners
God
will
judge
.
And
again
,
all
People
when
you
see
the
Company
of
Priests
(
the
Parish
Teachers
)
gather
together
on
heaps
upon
every
occasion
at
the
Foot
of
the
Great
Men
of
the
Earth
,
to
get
their
Conclusions
and
Doctrines
Established
by
a
Law
,
for
binding
under
Darkness
the
dark
People
,
who
are
Ignorant
of
their
Wiles
,
and
unacquainted
with
their
Ends
;
and
for
the
Ensnaring
of
Tender
Consciences
,
who
are
come
to
the
Teachings
of
Christ
and
his
Spirit
,
and
so
have
found
the
true
Shepherd
and
Bishop
of
their
Souls
,
and
so
through
Grace
have
escaped
the
layers
in
wait
.
I
say
,
when
you
now
see
them
gathering
together
by
Troops
for
these
evil
Purposes
,
and
the
like
Self-ends
,
marvel
not
at
the
matter
,
for
it
is
no
new
thing
,
but
one
of
the
old
things
under
the
Sun
,
as
you
see
here
;
for
the
World's
Teachers
,
set
up
in
the
Will
of
Man
,
have
always
been
many
and
evil
,
kept
up
by
the
evil
Power
;
but
the
true
Prophets
not
so
,
but
rather
few
and
faithful
,
and
those
preserved
by
the
Power
of
God
;
yea
,
often
found
that
the
Prophets
of
Baal
are
Four
Hundred
and
Fifty
,
and
the
Prophets
of
the
Groves
Four
Hundred
,
which
eat
Meat
at
Jezebel's
Table
,
for
one
Elijah
the
Prophet
of
the
true
God
,
who
feeds
upon
the
true
Bread
,
and
ministers
it
forth
as
he
hath
received
it
freely
to
others
,
without
Self
ends

And
so
the
false
Teachers
under
Antichrist
are
set
forth
b●
an
Army
of
Locusts
,
the
sound
of
whose

And
so
those
many
Locusts
and
Frogs
(
the
false
Teachers
)
are
the
unclean
Spirits
of
Devils
working
in
his
Servants
,
his
Ministers
,
going
forth
unto
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
,
and
of
the
whole
World
,
to
gather
them
to
the
Battel
of
that
Great
Day
of
God
Almighty
,
being
thereunto
fitted
in
a
Miraculous
manner
,
being
trained
up
in
the
Wisdom
of
the
Serpent
and
Sorceries
of
Egypt
for
that
purpose
,
so
that
none
can

following

And
of

of

Thousands
of
Soldiers
of
this
kind
fighting
daily
(
against
the
Lamb
and
his
Army
)
under
Satan's
Banner
,
and
in
constant

(

How
art
thou
Corrupted
!
How
great
is
thy
Misery
!
What
Lamentation
shall
be
taken
up
for
thee
!
A
wonderful
and
horrible
thing
is
committed
all
abroad
in
thee
:
Thy
Prophets
Prophesie
falsly
,
and
thy
Teachers
are
Lewd
and
Treacherous
Men
,
bearing
Rule
by
their
means
over

fleecing
thee
in

greedy
Mind
that
seeks
the
Gain
from

Quarter
,
and
can
never
have
enough
,
crying
,
Peace
,
Peace
to
thee
,
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
it
,
and
preaching
unto
thee
a
Vision
of
their
own
Head
and
Heart
,
and
not
from
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
,
and
so
strengthning
thy
Hands
in
thy
Wickedness
,
and
stirring
thee
up
to
Wrath
and
Persecutions
against
the
Innocent
,
and
thou
lovest
to
have
it
so
;
and
what
will
ye
all
do
in
the
end
of
these
things
?
Will
not
the
Lord
invade
you
with
his
Troop
?
Will
he
not
come
upon
ye
,
O
Princes
!
as
Clay

And
tread
you
down
under
his
Glorious
Power
,
Oh
People
!
as
Mire
is
trodden
down
under
Foot
in
the
Streets
.
And
who
of
all
the
false
Spirits
and
Teachers
,
that
you
in
your
Rebellions
against
God
have
followed
,
shall
deliver
you
out
of
his
Hand
?
So
all
be
warned
,
and
repent
,
and
return
to
Jesus
Christ
the
one
Head
Shepherd
,
and
Bishop
of
the
Soul
,
and
(
as
was
said
before
)
know
him
in
you
to
be
your
Teacher
,
that
out
of
the
Hands
of
all
Devils
you
may
be
delivered
:
And
now
having
time
,
prize
it
,
for
this
is
assuredly
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
,
and
after
that
the
Judgment
upon
you
all
;
for
Wo
,
Wo
,
Wo
both
is
and
will
be
more
upon
you
all
who
puts
the
Day
of
the
Lord
afar
off
,
and
who
love
Darkness
rather
than
Light
,
because
your
Deeds
are
evil
;
and
your
Head
and
Leader
is
not
Christ
,
but
he
that
came
up
out
of
the
Bottomless
Pit
,
and
shall
go
into
Perdition
,
with
all
his
confounded
Followers
,
the
Children
of
Darkness
.
And
therefore
,
on
the
other
hand
,
all
ye
Servants
of
the
Lord
(
my
Brethren
and
Sisters
in
the
Truth
of
Jesus
Christ
)
every
where
,
who
are
Sufferers
for
his
Names
sake
,
be
encouraged
,
for
stronger
is
he
that
is
in
us
,
than
he
that
is
in
the
World
;
and
there
are
more
with
us
than
them
,
though
we
be
not
known
to
the
World
,
nor
our
aid
,

&c.
for
little
Children
we
are
of
God
,
and
the
whole
World
lyes
in
Wickedness
;
and
so
one
single
Elijah
,
and
two
Witnesses
being
God's
Troop
,
are
well
able
to
encounter
with
all
the
Troops
of
the
Wicked
;
for
Truth
shall
prevail
for
ever
and
ever
,
and
all
Iniquity
shall
stop
her
Mouth
,
and
so
shall
the
due
Praises
be
sung
from
off
Mount
Zion
our
Holy
Hill
,
unto
our
God
the

of

without

,
for

to
us

for

For
now
is
the
Day
of
the
Lord
appearing
,
and
Fire
goeth
out
of

;
and
who
of

Adversaries
can
stand
before
him
who
is
a
consuming
Fire
,

to
the
Wicked
everlasting
Burning

Given
forth
for
the
Good
of
all
People
,
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
in
a
Servant
of
the
Lord
,
who
for
witnessing
forth
Truth
,
as
he
was
moved
of
God
,
in
the
publick
Assembly
of
all
sorts
of
People
,
at
Appleby
Steeple-house
in
Westmoreland
,
in
the
Assize
Week
there
,
in
the
sixth
Month
1675
,
against
the
Deceit
there
uttered
,
though
not
until
the
Priest
had
done
his
Oration
,
or
Sermon
,
as
they
call
it
;
yet
was
hawled
out
of
that
Synagogue
,
and
so
being
hurried
along
into
the
Streets
,
and
declaring
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
and
warning
them
all
,
and
calling
them
all
to
Repentance
,
was
sent
from
thence
(
by
command
from
some
it's
aike
)
by
an
Officer
to
the
Common
Goal
,
for
my
good
Will
and
Service-sake
,
where
I
was
kept
until
the
next
day
,
and
afterward
thrice
carried
with
the
Felons
of
the
Goal
to
their
Judgment-seat
,
[
so
bearing
Christ's
Reproach
]
where
there
was
first
by
one
Jury
(
as
they
said
it
,
for
what
is
above-said
only
)
a
Bill
of
Indictment
found
against
me
;
and
then
after
that
,
an
Oath
in
the
open
Court
taken
against
me
,
by
one
of
the
Scandalous
Priests
;
and
then
by
another
Company
of
Men
,
called
the
Grand
Jury
,
(
who
should
have
better
considered
of
the
Matter
,
who
are
chosen
by
the
Country
,
as
principal
Men
to
do
Justice
,
and
had
bound
themselves
thereunto
also
by
Oath
)
was
I
found
guilty
[
as
they
said
it
]
of
a
Disturbance
;
but
I
am
sure
the
Disturbance
was
on
their
part
,
for
they
pull'd
me
down
from
one
of
the
Seats
in
the
Steeple-house
as
I
was
speaking
,
and
violently
hawled
me
thence
,
and
so
to
Prison
as
is
said
,
and
so
disturbed
me
in
the
Work
of
the
Lord
;
but
none
could
I
disturb
,
being
bound
to
Peace
by
a
Law
the
World
knows
not
:
And
how
could
I
be
said
,
by
any
reasonable
Law
of
Man
,
to
disturb
them
,
seeing
violent
Hands
on
none
outwardly
did
I
lay
;
neither
did
I
speak
in
their
Congregation
till
all
was
done
,
and
they
were
silent
?
And
what
was
said
by
me
,
either
in
Steeple-house
or
out
of
it
,
at
that
time
they
hawled
me
to
Prison
,
I
was
there
ready
(
as
was
offered
)
in
the
face
of
the
open
Court
and
Country
,
to
make
good
by
Scripture
,
both
for
Matter
and
Manner
,
if
liberty
had
been
granted
me
;
but
they
liked
better
to
proceed
by
their
own
Law
than
that
:
And
so
last
of
all
,
him
called
the
Judge
of
Assize
,
instead
of
punishing
Offenders
who
had
wronged
me
,
he
fined
me
[
the
Offended
]
five
Marks
,
and
Imprisonment
until
I
should
pay
it
:
And
so
because
I
cannot
give
them
Money
for
their
unjust
Proceedings
against
me
,
and
unchristian
Dealings
with
me
,
I
am
kept
here
accordingly
in
the
common
Goal
a
Prisoner
,
yet
free
,
and
in
that
everlasting
Truth
of
God
which
cannot
be
bound
,
but
tramples
upon
the
Neck
and
Head
of
all
Deceit
more
than
a
Conquerour
.
But
from
hence
all
that
have
Eyes
,
may
see
what
little
liberty
Truth
can
yet
get
in
the
Earth
,
after
so
much
War
and
words
protested
for
it
:
And
therefore
whoever
thou
art
that
reads
these
things
,
know
,
that
in
England
also
now
,
if
thou
wilt
live
godly
in
Christ
Jesus
,
thou
must
suffer
Persecution
;
for
the
Scripture
cannot
be
broken
.
And
this
Persecution
now
in
England
,
ariseth
mainly
from
the
blind
Zeal
that
many
have
for
keeping
up
their
Ministers
,
as
they
call
them
,
from
being
spoken
unto
in
the
Assembly
,
either
in
,
after
,
or
before
the
time
of
their
Preaching
,
especially
on
the
first
day
of
the
Week
,
by
them
called
the
Lord's
day
,
and
Sabbath
day
,
and
this
the
People
are
prompted
unto
by
the
wicked
Spirit
in
their
Teachers
,
which
cannot
endure
the
Light
that
God
hath
raised
up
in
his
People
in
these
Islands
in
these
days
:
And
so
this
is
the
Condemnation
of
all
such
Children
of
Darkness
,
whether
Priest
or
People
,
that
Light
shines
,
and
they
love
Darkness
more
than
Light
,
because
their
Deeds
are
Evil.
And
so
all
may
see
,
whether
the
Teachers
and
People
,
that
act
in
such
Darkness
,
are
going
;
for
in
the
days
of
Queen
Mary
,
the
Persecutor
,
the
Law
reached
only
to
a
punishing
of
such
as
spoke
to
her
Priests
in
the
time
of
their
Service
;
but
now
the
Zeal
of
some
for
them
is
so
increased
,
that
neither
in
the
time
of
their
Speaking
,
nor
in
their
coming
nor
going
from
their
Steeple-house
,
especially
on
the
day
aforesaid
,
must
their
Teachers
be
spoken
unto
,
but
they
will
impute
it
to
the
Party
for
an
Offence
,
without
examining
whether
there
be
cause
for
it
yea
or
nay
;
but
the
Teacher
,
though
he
be
never
so
false
in
Doctrine
,
or
vicious
in
Life
,
yet
if
he
be
a
Parish-Teacher
,
and
receive
the
World's
Hire
,
as
Tythes
,
Glebe-lands
,
and
Augmentations
,
with
the
State-allowance
,
or
upon
other
Accompts
,
be
allowed
for
a
Publick
Teacher
by
the
Nation-Law
,
he
is
like
to
be
defended
;
and
he
or
she
that
speaks
to
them
,
though
such
a
one
be
never
so
dear
to
God
,
and
speaks
truth
in
that
particular
never
so
clearly
,
is
like
to
be
punished
as
an
Evil-doer
:
And
if
this
be
not
a
provoking
of
the
Wrath
and
hot
Displeasure
of
God
against
thee
,
Oh
England
!
then
let
him
that
hath
Understanding
declare
what
more
can
be
:
And
therefore
thou
art
now
in
time
warned
of
these
things
,
that
thou
mayst
,
by
Repentance
,
be
saved
from
those
things
that
shall
assuredly
come
upon
the
Wicked
.
But
for
the
present
,
all
Poor
People
every
where
,
who
are
in
the
dark
Mind
,
unacquainted
with
the
Teachings
of
God
in
the
Spirit
and
Light
of
the
Holy
Anointing
,
but
are
following
the
Blind
Guides
,
that
indeavour
to
get
their
Wickedness
established
by
a
Law
,
your
Misery
is
great
,
and
much
to
be
lamented
,
and
the
case
of
such
of
you
as
have
any
true
Breathings
after
God
,
is
to
be
pittied
:
And
who
shall
deliver
you
out
of
your
Bondage
,
but
he
that
delivered
Israel
out
of
Egypt
,
and
hath
in
all
Ages
been
a
present
Help
unto
them
in
the
needful
Time
of
Trouble
,
and
will
still
deliver
them
that
fear
him
out
of
all
Adversity
:
So
wait
upon
him
,
and
the
Work
is
done
,
and
be
incouraged
all
that
wait
upon
him
,
for
there
is
no
end
of
his
Goodness
to
us
,
for
his
Mercy
indureth
for
ever
;
and
before
him
goeth
a
devouring
Fire
,
to
consume
the
Adversaries
of
his
glorious
Truth
round
about
,
and
the
day
is
dawned
that
will
leave
them
neither
Root
nor
Branch
.
And
in
this
Rest
I
am
your
dear
Brother
,
oh
all
ye
Free
People
of
God!
And

the
Patience

Court
and
Chappel
,
the
Sword
upon
the
King's
House

and
Desolations
upon

,
was
a

so
accounted

one
wicked
Priest

you
may

And
whether
Jonah
,
preaching
Repentance
in
the

a
whole

together
,
was

Query

People
of
Nineveh
,
who
instead
of
persecuting
him
the
Lord's

,
did

his
Preaching
,
shall
not
rise
up
in
Judgment
with
this
present
Generation
,
and
condemn
it

Yea

?
7
Query
.
Whether
did
Paul
the
Apostle
disturb
the
Jews
and
Gentiles
in
their
Synagogues
and
Markets
,
when
he
reasoned
of
the
things
of
God's
Kingdom
,
and
disputed
as
it
were
daily
with
them
there
,
as
you
may
read
in
the
Acts
of
the
Apostles
?
And
whether
you
who
account
your selves
disturbed
with
the
like
things
,
doing
in
these
days
,
do
not
allow
of
the
Jews
persecuting
of
him
for
his
Works
sake
then
,
Yea
or
Nay
?
8
Query
.
And
whether
the
same
Paul
in
the
Corinthians
when
he
said
,
In
the
True
Church
all
that
have
any
thing
revealed
unto
them
from
God
,
may
speak
one
by
one
.
And
when
he
that
is
speaking
,
hears
such
an
inspired
one
begin
to
speak
,
he
(
to
wit
,
the
first
)
is
to
hold
his
Peace
,
that
all
things
may
be
heard
,
and
all
edified
;
I
say
,
whether
Paul
,
in
preaching
such
Doctrine
,
preached
disturbing
Doctrine
,
Yea
or
Nay
?
And
lastly
,
It
is
required
of
those
that
judge
others
for
Disturbers
in
such
cases
as
these
,
That
they
do
set
down
what
is
the
true
and
infallible
Rule
of
trying
Doctrines
and
Spirits
by
in
these
days
;
or
for
ever
hereafter
that
they
let
the
thing
alone

is
,
and
what
the
patting
out
of
all
your
own
Lights
is
,
seeing
the
Evening
must
be
witnessed
before
the
Morning
,
for
the
Evening
and
the
Morning
make
the
First
day
?
And
whether
you
have
known
the
Voice
of
the
Light
shining
in
the
dark
place
,
and
have
taken
heed
to
it
as
the
Scripture
speaks
,
and
have
obeyed
the
Voice
of
it
,
which
calls
you
to
return
,
and
come
to
the
Lord
,
from
all
your
own
ways
;
and
there
in
Repentance
do
now
wait
in
the
Inner
Man
for
the
Dawning
of
the
Day
,
and
the
arising
of
the
Day-Star
in
your
Hearts
?
Or
are
you
not
yet
in
the
deceivable
Doctrines
of
them
that
are
without
,
who
cry
Lo
here
,
and
Lo
there
,
as
all
such
do
.
2.
And
whether
you
do
believe
and
expect
any
such
Promise
to
be
fulfilled
in
you
here
;
so
that
being
in
the
Day
,
and
borne
up
into
the
eternal
unchangeable
Light
,
and
so
coming
to
know
the
Teachings
of
the
Father
,
and
the
Anointing
of
the
Holy
One
,
ye
shall
not
need
that
any
Man
teach
you
,
but
as
that
Anointing
teacheth
?
Or
do
you
imagine
that
you
shall
always
be
beholden
to
borrowed
Lights
,
and
Man's
Teachings
,
as
you
are
now
,
and
so
be
the
silly
Women
that
are
always
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
?
3.
And
whether
that
Ministry
you
are
under
,
and
please
your selves
so
much
in
,
can
truly
be
said
to
be
the
Ministry
of
Christ
,
seeing
it
leads
not
to
an
end
?
Nor
can
you
or
they
witness
any
one
hitherto
presented
thereby
,
perfect
to
God
in
Christ
without
Spot
or
Wrinkle
,
or
any
such
thing
,
or
ever
like
to
be
,
seeing
you
generally
hold
,
That
no
Man
can
be
free
from
Sin
,
and
so
perfect
,
while
you
are
here
:
And
whether
you
are
ever
likely
to
come
to
the
Unity
of
the
Faith
,
and
of
the
Knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God
,
to
the
Measure
and
Stature
of
Christ
,
by
that
Ministry
that
stands
in
the
Will
of
Man
,
and
which
denies
the
Light
which
hath
inlightned
every
one
that
comes
into
the
World
,
to
be
the
True
Spiritual
and
Saving
Light
of
Christ
;
and
so
build
upon
another
Foundation
,
and
reject
the
Light
of
the
World
Christ
,
as
he
is
in
Man
the
Foundation
already
laid
by
God
himself
;
and
so
denies
at
once
the
New
Covenant
,
Gospel
,
Christ
and
Scriptures
,
as
your
Ministers
do
,
who
deny
the
Light
which
is
in
Man
(
which
shews
him
Sin
and
Evil
)
to
be
Spiritual
and
of
Christ
,
and
calls
it
a
Natural
Light
;
and
so
putting
the
Letter
which
is
without
you
for
the
Light
,
draw
your
Minds
out
to
build
upon
their
Meanings
,
Conceivings
and
Imaginings
of
it
;
and
so
to
forsake
the
true
Light
,
the
Word
it self
,
the
Teaching
of
the
Holy
Anointing
within
you
,
and
to
neglect
the
Promise
of
the
Father
,
which
would
lead
you
into
all
Truth
,
if
you
did
wait
upon
it
,
and
did
honestly
,
through
Faith
,
giv●
up
your selves
to
be
guided
by
it
;
and
whether
you
have
not
just
cause
to
forsake
these
Builders
,
who
have
rejected
Christ
the
Corner-stone
,
and
caused
you
to
build
upon
the
Sandy
Foundation
,
which
in
the
arising
of
the
Storm
of
the
Lord's
Tryal
and
Indignation
will
not
bear
you
up
;
but
Iniquity
being
still
found
in
you
,
you
are
condemned
within
your selves
,
and
with
the
Sinners
and
Hypocrites
in
Sion
,
you
will
all
,
e'er
long
,
be
forced
to
cry
out
,
Holy
Priest
and
People
,
Who
among
us
can
abide
with
devouring
Fire
,
or
dwell
with
the
everlasting
Burning
?
Thomas
Taylor

TO
A
Wandering
Apostate
.
O
The
Desolation
that
,
giving
way
to
the
Enemy
,
thou
hast
brought
upon
thy
Soul
!
What
,
must
not
God
be
Infinite
,
because
thou
canst
not
comprehend
Infiniteness
?
Thou
art
that
Finite
One
that
stands
against
His
Infiniteness
,
and
glories
in
thy
old
uncircumcised
Heart
;
but
His
Infinite
Light
has
comprehended
thee
,
and
doth
and
will
Judge
thee
for
thy
Evil
Work
,
and
Blasphemous
Thoughts
of
Him
,
whom
the
Heaven
,
and
Heaven
of
Heavens
,
cannot
contain
;
but
thou
would'st
limit
His
limitless
Nature
to
a
creatural
Form
like
thy self
,
as
the
Wicked
do
who
know
him
not
.
And
so
of
that
Beast
and
mysterious
Babylon
thou
art
,
who
this
day
,
with
their
many
Heads
,
and
Horns
,
and
Forms
of
False
Knowledge
,
and
Worships
,
and
Churches
,
so
called
,
do
all
,
with
one
Consent
,
push
and
fight
against
the
Lamb
,
the
Light
and
Son
of
the
Incomprehensible
and
Infinite
Father
,
and
his
Faithful
Followers
;
but
the
Lamb
both
hath
and
ever
shall
have
the
Victory
,
and
the
Mouth
of
all
Iniquity
shall
be
stopped
,
saith
my
Soul
.
And
so
well
had
it
been
for
thee
,
if
thou
hadst
continued
Faithful
amongst
us
,
but
a
Wanderer
and
Unfaithful
in
Heart
hast
thou
been
many
a
day
;
and
so
the
Whore
that
watched
in
the
Evening
for
the
unwary
young
Man
,
hath
caught
thee
in
her
Net
,
and
there
thou
art
a
Slave
in
the
Bands
of
Darkness
,
to
the
great
Wounding
of
thy
poor
imprisoned
Soul
.

Taylor

TO
George
Ward
,
And
those
that
had
Fellowship
with
him
.
GEorge
Ward
,
to
thy self
,
and
those
in
Fellowship
with
thee
,
whether
Speakers
or
Hearers
,
a
few
Words
from
the
Movings
of
God
in
my
Heart
;
You
are
weighed
in
the
Ballance
,
and
are
found
wanting
,
and
the
Glory
of
the
Holy
Kingdom
of
God
you
are
fallen
short
of
in
your
Unbelief
,
and
have
not
a
Heart
,
as
yet
,
to
walk
in
the
strait
and
narrow
Way
that
leads
unto
it
.
You
have
not
suffered
your
Minds
and
Souls
to
be
guided
by
the
pure
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
that
hath
Visited
you
in
great
Love
in
these
Days
,
but
have
rather
chosen
to
follow
your
own
Thoughts
and
wrong
Expositions
of
Scripture
to
your
great
hurt
;
And
,
because
you
have
Preached
and
Professed
that
washing
the
outward
Water
is
the
only
Gate
in
the
Christian
Fellowship
,
you
are
both
to
loose
your
Credit
amongst
Men
,
by
owning
the
more
Excellent
and
Everlasting
Way
,
though
it
be
most
plainly
declared
,
and
by
the
Spirit
demonstrated
to
you
in
these
Days
:
And
so
you
go
about
to
Establish
that
which
makes
nothing
perfect
,
in
Opposition
to
the
Power
of
God
which
only
makes
Perfect
.
And
so
you
resemble
them
of
old
,
who
stuck
in
the
Shadows
of
the
Law
,
in
Opposition
to
him
that
was
the
End
of
the
Law
,
and
came
to
fulfil
it
;
Christ
Jesus
over
all
God
Blessed
for
ever
.
And
so
if
I
could
have
found
in
you
a
true
Desire
after
God's
Kingdom
,
may
be
I
might
have
gotten
a
little
Liberty
to
have
Reasoned
with
you
at
this
time
of
the
things
thereof
:
But
seeing
there
hath
been
so
many
Endeavours
and
Desires
in
us
after
your
Eternal
Good
,
and
ye
will
not
come
to
Christ
to
know
him
in
you
,
that
you
may
have
Life
;
for
this
time
I
thus
rest
in
Peace
with
my
God
the
Righteous
Judge
,
believing
,
that
in
his
own
Way
and
Time
,
he
will
Silence
every
Tongue
that
moves
against
his
Blessed
Truth
(
the
Light
)
and
those
that
love
it
and
follow
it
in
the
Regeneration
in
this
Day
of
his
Power
,
wherein
the
willing
People
are
brought
up
,
through
the
Death
of
the
Flesh
,
to
serve
the
Lord
in
the
Land
of
the
Living
,
in
new
Jerusalem
,
as
our
Souls
do
this
Day
,
ever
Praised
be
his
Name
,
the
Arm
of
his
Holiness
,
for
it
is
worthy
.
And
now
,
where
is
the
Disputer
of
this
World
,
who
pleads
for
seen
things
which
Quicken
not
the
Souls
,
and
will
not
have
the
Invisible
God
,
who
is
the
Resurrection
of
the
Life
,
to
Rule
in
them
;
but
are
glad
when
they
can
get
any
thing
seemingly
that
makes
for
them
in
their
perishing
Way
?
But
our
Work
is
,
Praised
be
God
to
hold
the
Faith
which
was
once
delivered
to
the
Saints
in
a
pure
Conscience
,
and
in
the
Ability
that
God
giveth
us
to
help
to
bring
People
to
God
,
where
is
the
true
Rest
for
ever
:
And
those
that
will
not
submit
their
Minds
,
Hearts
and
Souls
to
the
Light
of
the
Eternal
Word
which
is
nigh
in
the
Heart
,
shall
never
be
Established
in
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
but
shall
weary
themselves
in
the
very
Fires
for
Vanity
;
and
this
we
have
Learned
through
many
Tribulations
,
Blessed
be
God
for
his
Unspeakable
Gift
;
and
so
if
you
be
Wise
,
be
Wise
for
your
Souls
,
and
Learn
with
us
to
sit
in
Silence
at
Jesus
Feet
,
to
know
what
he
requires
of
you
,
and
cease
your
running
and
doing
without
him
,
for
you
have
spent
too
much
time
in
Vain
already
,
seeing
the
Spirit
of
the
World
is
unfallen
in
you
;
Rests
your
Souls
Friend
,
and
a
Lover
of
the
whole
Creation
of
God
,
being
become
a
willing
Sufferer
for
the
Holy
Seeds
Sake
.
And
whereas
you
,
or
some
of
you
,
seem
Offended
that
Widdow
Cock
hath
left
you
,
and
come
amongst
us
,
and
say
,
she
hath
done
it
,
and
yet
given
you
no
sufficient
Reason
and
Satisfaction
for
her
so
doing
,
I
say
,
that
Reason
,
I
suppose
,
she
hath
shown
sufficient
to
some
of
you
,
but
to
give
Satisfaction
to
you
in
it
that
is
hard
,
seeing
you
Speak
Evil
of
the
Good
Way
of
God
which
she
hath
tasted
of
amongst
us
;
for
,
of
a
Truth
,
the
Lord
and
his
Power
and
Presence
is
with
us
,
Blessed
be
his
Name
for
ever
:
And
she
stayed
too
long
upon
the
barren
Mountains
where
your
Flocks
Feed

Thomas
Taylor
.
TO
A
Plundering
Priest
.
YOUNG
Man
,
all
thy
Prayers
,
Preachings
and
Praises
,
are
Abomination
to
God
,
so
long
as
thou
keepest
the
Just
in
Bondage
;
Thou
being
but
newly
,
as
it
were
,
come
on
to
the
Stage
of
the
World
,
begins
thy
part
very
badly
;
if
thou
hadst
been
as
an
old
over-grown
Tree
in
Customs
of
Covetousness
,
less
could
not
be
expected
from
thee
than
what
some
in
Swaledale
have
sound
:
But
thou
being
,
as
I
hear
,
a
young
Man
,
under
the
Notion
of
a
Schollar
,
nay
more
,
of
a
Minister
of
the
Gospel
,
to
fall
on
a
Suing
People
at
Law
,
and
putting
in
Prison
,
upon
account
of
Hire
,
quite
stains
all
thy
Glory
,
and
blasts
thy
Reputation
with
the
Odium
of
a
Hireling
and
Fersecutor
.
Thou
might
consider
,
if
the
God
of
this
World
had
not
blinded
thy
Mind
,
what
thou
daily
,
as
it
were
,
reads
in
the
Scripture
,
Whatsoever
ye
would
that
Men
should
do
unto
you
,
even
so
do
unto
them
,
for
this
is
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
.
And
if
thou
be
not
come
so
far
as
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
,
thou
art
most
unfit
to
take
the
Gospel
into
thy
Mouth
.
For
,
without
all
question
,
if
thy
Condition
had
been
Michael
R●w's
,
thou
would
have
accounted
it
hard
Measure
to
have
been
so
dealt
withall
as
thou
hast
dealt
with
him
.
A
Man
with
a
Wife
and
ten
or
eleven
Children
depending
much
upon
his
Labour
for
their
Maintenance
,
and
this
Man
to
be
put
into
Prison
,
and
there
kept
from
year
to
year
,
for
nothing
at
all
,
but
because
,
for
Conscience-sake
to
God
,
he
cannot
put
into
thy
Mouth
.
What
a
Cry
this
hath
,
and
will
have
,
in
the
Ears
of
God
,
it
concerns
thee
deeply
to
consider
,
for
he
is
well
known
not
to
with-hold
Right
from
any
where
it
is
due
:
But
though
his
Sufferings
for
time
be
long
,
yet
thine
,
if
thou
repent
not
,
will
be
very
much
longer
;
for
it
is
a
very
fearful
thing
for
thee
,
thus
in
thy
Sins
,
to
fall
into
the
Hands
of
the
Living
God
.
So
whilst
thou
hast
time
prize
it
,
and
say
not
within
thy self
,
that
thou
shalt
have
Peace
,
though
thou
continue
in
this
thy
Hard-heartedness
,
for
certainly
there
is
no
Peace
from
the
Holy
,
Just
and
Merciful
God
,
to
any
abiding
in
the
Paths
thou
walkest
in
.
So
if
thou
hast
an
Ear
,
hear
what
the
Spirit
of
Truth
saith
unto
thee
in
his
Servant
,

To
those

WO
,
Wo
,
from
the
Lord
to
this
Heathenish
manner
of
Rejoycing
with
Bells
and
Bonefires
;
Have
you
not
learned
it
from
those
Wicked
People
called
Papists
,
for
Deliverance
from
whom
you
seem
to
Rejoyce
:
And
so
instead
of
honouring
God
,
with
your
Mirth
,
you
greatly
grieve
and
burden
his
good
Spirit
:
And
therefore
your
●ins
remain
,
and
Judgment
after
Judgment
still
waits
for
you
,
until
you
turn
to
God
with
your
Hearts
,
which
yet
to
this
day
you
have
not
done
,
O
People
of
Stafford
,
and
of
all
England
,
who
delight
in
such
vain
things
;
yea
,
though
Mercy
after
Mercy
you
have
been
tried
with
,
yet
still
you
are
doing
what
you
should
not
do
,
and
leaving
undone
what
God
wills
you
to
do
;
and
so
indeed
have
no
Spiritual
Health
or
Soundness
in
you
,
but
all
full
of
Putrifying
Sores
you
are
,
and
so
unfit
to
enter
God's
Holy
and
Heavenly
Temple
:
And
that
which
makes
your
Wound
uncurable
,
you
cannot
endure
to
have
your
Wounds
searched
to
the
bottom
,
but
such
as
can
daw●
you
over
with
their
untempered
Mortar
,
and
call
you
good
People
,
and
good
Christians
,
when
your
Lives
loudly
witness
the
contrary
;
those
you
account
your
Friends
:
And
therefore
will
the
Lord
judge
you
according
to
your
Deeds
;
and
according
to
the
Fruit
of
your
Doings
will
he
reward
you
,
if
you
speedily
return
not
to
him
with
your
whole
Heart
,
for
a
short
Work
will
God
make
upon
the
Earth
,
when
neither
one
Name
nor
another
,
nor
one
Profession
nor
another
,
shall
be
able
to
hide
the
Wicked
from
his
Stroke
,
for
it
's
in
the
Truth
it self
,
as
Truth
is
in
Jesus
,
that
the
safe
Hiding-place
will
be
,
and
●o
where
else
,
as
saith
his
good
Spirit
in
his
Servant
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
them
that
plays
the
Fool
upon
the
Stage
.
THOU
that
plays
the
Foolish
Man
upon
the
Stage
,
and
invents
all
the
Lyes
and
vain
things
that
ever
thou
canst
,
to
move
Laughter
in
the
Rude
Multitude
,
which
is
Madness
,
as
Solomon
speaks
,
and
all
this
for
filthy
Lucre
:
I
demand
of
thee
,
whether
thou
believest
that
there
is
a
God
,
that
will
call
into
Judgment
all
Mens
Words
and
Deeds
,
yea
,
to
the
very
Thoughts
and
Intents
of
the
Heart
;
and
whether
Christ's
words
are
true
which
say
,
that
for
every
idle
word
that
Men
shall
speak
,
they
must
give
account
thereof
in
the
Day
of
Judgment
?
And
if
this
be
true
,
as
most
true
it
is
,
then
how
wilt
thou
stand
in
thy
multitude
of
vain
,
idle
,
unclean
and
corrupting
words
before
the
Righteous
Judge
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
whose
Wrath
is
kindled
against
all
such
as
have
even
thus
sold
themselves
to
do
Iniquity
:
And
his
Judgment
is
near
,
and
the
Judge
even
at
the
Door
;
therefore
in
love
to
thy
Soul
I
write
this
,
that
,
if
possible
,
thou
mayst
repent
,
and
not
Perish
Eternally
.
O
ye
People
,
whose
Eyes
are
abroad
,
and
whose
Minds
are
in
the
Vanities
of
this
World
wandered
from
the
Lord
:
How
can
ye
behold
such
Men
as
these
doing
such
Foolish
things
upon
the
Stage
,
without
all
fear
of
God
,
and
care
what
any
one
that
fears
God
can
say
against
them
,
and
yet
profess
themselves
to
be
Christians
?
How
can
ye
forbear
to
reprove
them
?
Doth
not
the
Apostle
say
to
Christians
,
Have
no
Fellowship
with
the
unfruitful
Works
of
Darkness
,
but
rather
reprove
them
.
And
this
is
a
Work
of
gross
Darkness
,
for
People
to
profess
Christ
,
to
do
these
Deeds
of
the
Heathen
,
who
said
their
Tongues
was
their
own
,
and
they
may
use
them
at
their
pleasure
:
But
God
will
call
into
Judgment
every
vile
,
vain
and
unclean
Word
,
and
account
must
Men
give
for
them
;
and
then
,
Wo
to
the
Wicked
,
and
all
that
love
Lyes
,
and
such
vain
Inventions
as
this
Foolish
Man
upon
the
Stage
,
for
filthy
Lucre
,
doth
practice
.
So
People
,
fear
God
,
and
repent
of
your
Deeds
,
for
the
Lord
God
is
at
the
Door
,
ready
to
judge
the
present
evil
World
for
all
their
Iniquities
.

Against
Mass-Times
.
WO
to
this
degenerate
World
of
People
called
Christians
,
What
shall
be
said
concerning
you
,
and
who
shall
declare
your
Misery
?
For
as
you
have
multiplied
your
Transgressions
as
the
Sand
of
the
Sea
,
so
will
the
Lord
multiply
his
Judgments
and
Plagues
upon
you
,
for
you
have
violated
the
Laws
,
and
broken
down
the
Bond
of
that
everlasting
Covenant
,
that
should
have
redeemed
and
kept
your
Souls
to
God
;
and
you
have
wholly
suffered
the
Spirit
of
this
wicked
World
to
carry
you
away
Captive
by
Millions
and
Multitudes
into
the
Land
of
Darkness
and
Wickedness
,
which
is
Spiritually
called
Sodom
and
Egypt
where
our
Lord
was
Crucified
,
and
is
at
this
day
trodden
under
foot
by
you
,
where
the
Abominations
of
the
Heathen
,
and
Superstitions
of
the
Jews
,
are
kept
up
by
you
,
and
practiced
in
the
face
of
the
Sun
,
and
many
of
them
held
up
by
force
of
a
Law
;
and
such
as
depart
from
the
Iniquities
thereof
,
even
become
a
Prey
to
you
.
So
that
the
Lord
hath
dashed
you
together
,
for
many
Generations
,
like
a
Pot-sheard
one
against
another
,
and
will
yet
dash
you
together
for
your
great
Iniquities
and
grievous
Idolatries
,
and
will
raise
up
his
Plant
of
Renown
from
amongst
you
,
and
become
the
Teacher
of
his
People
himself
,
and
they
shall
no
more
be
a
Prey
to
the
Teeth
of
the
Dragon
,
Wolf
nor
Fox
,
but
shall
feed
in
the
good
Pasture
,
as
in
the
beginning
before
Antichrist
was
;
and
the
Temples
of
Antichrist
,
with
the
False
Worships
therein
,
shall
be
a
Desolation
for
evermore
.
Wo
,
Wo
,
to
all
ye
observers
of
Mass
times
,
and
Tides
and
Seasons
of
the
Year
,
wherein
the
Spirit
of
this
wicked
World
,
which
is
called
Satan
,
God's
Adversary
,
and
Antichrist
,
Christ's
Enemy
,
sets
you
at
liberty
to
do
all
those
Evils
and
abominable
Works
,
wherewith
the
Spirit
of
the
Holy
Lord
God
that
made
you
,
is
so
much
burdened
and
g●ieved
from
one
end
of
the
Year
unto
the
other
,
so
that
he
can
smell
no
sweet
Smell
in
any
of
your
Sacrifices
that
you
offer
up
unto
him
,
because
of
the
gross
Darkness
of
your
willfully
deceived
Hearts
,
and
the
great
Filthiness
of
your
polluted
Hands
.
O
how
the
Lord
,
and
his
good
Spirit
in
all
,
is
pressed
under
the
weight
of
your
Iniquities
,
as
a
Cart
under
her
Sheaves
:
And
therefore
hath
the
Lord
rejected
your
Confidence
,
and
called
you
Loruhamah
,
not
Beloved
;
and
Loammi
,
not
his
People
;
for
as
the
Plant
of
a
degenerate
Vine
are
you
to
him
,
a
Field
over-grown
with
Weeds
,
and
your
Spot
is
not
the
Spot
of
his
People
;
and
therefore
into
the
great
Captivity
are
ye
gone
,
and
there
are
amongst
the
Heathen
,
worshipping
the
Works
of
your
own
Hands
,
and
falling
down
to
that
which
your
Fingers
have
framed
,
and
you
delight
in
a
thing
of
naught
;
and
the
Lord
,
the
Light
that
made
you
,
you
are
become
Strangers
unto
,
and
is
accounted
by
you
as
a
weak
natural
thing
that
cannot
help
:
And
his
Day
,
Power
and
Kingdom
,
is
put
far
away
from
you
,
and
instead
thereof
,
the
Seat
of
Violence
is
drawn
near
to
you
,
and
in
the
Seat
of
the
Scorners
and
Mocker
,
of
the
Last
Times
have
you
placed
your selves
,
saying
,
Where
is
the
Promise
of
his
Coming
;
when
as
him
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Light
in
whom
all
the
Promises
of
God
are
,
Yea
and
Amen
is
rejected
by
you
,
even
by
your
Builders
.

UNTO
thee
,
O
Man
,
who
art
called
the
Bear-ward
,
do
these
words
come
:
Fear
and
tremble
before
the
Lord
God
,
who
is
against
all
such
wicked
and
ungodly
Men
as
thy self
is
,
who
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
and
the
Nation
,
goest
up
and
down
the
Country
keeping
this
great
Evil
of
Bear-baiting
on
foot
,
to
the
Corrupting
of
the
Country
for
thy
own
filthy
Lucre
and
abominable
Covetousness
,
which
is
the
Root
of
all
Evil
:
And
the
Lord's
Hand
hath
been
long
stretched
out
against
all
such
Lewd
Men
;
but
you
go
on
in
your
Wickedness
and
repent
not
,
and
therefore
nothing
can
you
expect
,
as
a
Reward
of
your
evil
Work
,
but
everlasting
Wo
and
Misery
.
And
to
all
you
,
Foolish
and
Heathenish-minded
People
,
who
are
the
Upholders
and
Spectators
of
these
Brutish
Customs
of
Bear-baiting
;
yea
,
and
can
spend
your
precious
Time
,
Strength
and
Money
in
the
thing
,
the
Lord
is
against
you
also
,
and
his
Soul
is
greatly
grieved
and
burthened
with
you
,
and
will
assuredly
visit
with
his
Wrath
,
these
and
all
your
lewd
and
wicked
Practices
:
So
if
there
be
in
any
of
you
,
any
Heart
left
for
the
Good
,
repent
,
lest
you
Perish
in
your
Sins
with
such
as
hates
to
be
reformed
,
Rests
the
Lord's
Servant
,
who
cannot
but
Sorrow
to
see
you
thus
,
from
time
to
time
,
go
on
in
your
Sins
without
Remorse

Weep

those
that
remain

Sinful
and
Unholy

hath
a
Controversie
with
all

great
will
be
the
Desolations
,

of
Iniquity
and
Violence

is
grown
up
to
so
great
a
height
,
that
it
hath
even
as
it
were
filled
the
whole
Earth
,
and
the
Lord
seeth
all
your
Doings
,
O
People
,
and
your
secretest
Workings
,
when
in
your
Minds
ye
Plot

the
Lamb's

would
redeem
out
of
all
the
many
Snares
of
the
Devil
,
whereby
the
Ungodly
are
kept
fast
at
his
Will.
But
the
Men
of
Nineveh
shall
rise
up
in
Judgment
against
the
Impenitent
in
the
whole
Earth
,
for
they
repented
at
the
Preaching
of
Jonah
,
but
behold
a
greater
than
all
is
come
into
the
World
,
even
Jesus
Christ
the
Righteous
,
and
they
believe
him
not
,
neither
repent
of
their
evil
and

Doings

harden
their
Hearts
against
his
Holy
Spirit

Reproof

WEEP
thou
England
,
Howl
,
Howl
ye
People
,
for
the
Dreadful
Day
of
the
Lord
God
is
at
hand
,
it
is
at
the
Door
,
as
an
armed
Man
coming
swiftly
upon
you
,
to
break
down
and
tread
under
feet
thy
Pomp
,
Glory
,
Pride
and
Strength
:
Thou
hast
exceeded
in
thy
Sins
,
and
art
grown
monstrous
in
thine
Iniquities
;
so
the
Lord
will
be
exceeding
Terrible
unto
thee
:
Thou
hast
suffered
the
Wicked
in
thee
to
have
liberty
,
and
to
take
their
Fill
of
Sin
,
when
the
Voice
of
the
Righteous
cannot
be
endured
in
thee
;
but
he
that
departs
from
Iniquity
,
and
would
perswade
others
so
to
do
also
,
is
even
made
a
Prey
of
by
ungodly
and
unreasonable
Men
,
their
Bodies
imprisoned
and
banished
,
and
Estates
spoiled
,
and
many
sorts
of
Injuries
done
them
for
thy
Name
and
Truths
sake
,
O
Lord
God
:
And
therefore
will
the
Lord
God
arise
to
take
Vengeance
for
these
things
;
yea
,
his
Soul
will
certainly
be
avenged
on
such
a
Nation
as
this
,
saith
his
Spirit
in
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
And
moreover
,
because
you
have
said
in
your
Hearts
,
We
have
compassed
them
about
with
an
Act
,
and
now
none
shall
worship
God
but
as
we
please
:
Therefore
will
the
Lord
,
the
mighty
God
,
compass
you
about
with
his
Terrors
,
and
you
shall
find
no
place
to
hide
your selves
in
from
his
Wrath
,
because
of
the
Pride
of
your
Heart
,
and
Evil
of
your
Doings
,
O
all
ye
People
of
the
Land
,
who
are
guilty
in
these
things
,
saith
the
Lord
God
.
To
the
Comers
and
Goers
by
the
Prison-Window
,
of
both
Sorts
.
ALL
simple-hearted
People
,
who
have
any
thing
of
the
true
Fear
of
God
moving
upon
your
Hearts
,
and
whose
Desires
are
in
any
measure
purely
after
God
and
Goodness
,
and
are
not
altogether
hardned
against
the
Lord
,
and
Good
of
your
Souls
:
Consider
and
ponder
a
little
,
and
unbethink
you
well
,
as
in
the
Presence
of
God
,
what
hath
been
from
time
to
time
declared
to
you
,
and
all
People
,
out
of
the
Prison-Window
:
Hath
not
the
Witness
of
God
,
in
his
Servant
,
declared
amongst
you
,
the
Dreadful
Day
of
the
Lord
God
,
which
will
assuredly
come
upon
all
the
Wicked
,
and
such
as
are
covered
,
and
not
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
whether
Priests
or
People
:
And
hath
not
the
same
Voice
,
in
great
Love
and
Tenderness
,
freely
proclaimed
Peace
and
Good
Will
to
the
Penitent
;
and
the
most
acceptable
Day
of
the
Lord
to
the
Broken-hearted
,
and
such
as
Mourn
under
the
Sense
of
Sin
,
and
Burthen
of
Unrighteousness
,
without
respect
of
Persons
:
And
are
not
these
things
to
be
laid
to
Heart
,
and
not
at
all
to
be
slighted
?
And
therefore
I
say
unto
you
,
O
People
,
even
you
that
love
your
Souls
,
and
are
not
yet
come
to
the
true
Rest
,
Christ
Jesus
in
Spirit
,
but
are
wandering
from
Mountain
to
Hill
,
after
the
Hireling-Teachers
,
one
day
after
another
,
and
yet
are
not
satisfied
with
their
empty
Words
,
but
are
dead
,
dry
and
barren
in
Heart
,
as
to
the
Power
of
Godliness
,
after
all
your
Money
spent
and
Labour
taken
:
I
said
,
Is
not
this
an
evident
Sign
,
that
it
is
not
Bread
that
hath
by
them
been
ministred
to
you
,
but
the
Chaff
of
Mens
Inventions
:
For
saith
the
Lord
,
Does
not
my
words
do
good
to
them
that
desire
after
me
?
But
alas
People
,
the
Hireling's
Words
which
he
sells
you
for
Money
,
are
not
the
Word
of
God
,
but
only
what
he
hath
gathered
and
conceived
from
the
Letter
of
another
Man's
Line
,
and
so
cannot
profit
you
,
though
you
should
hear
never
so
much
of
it
,
no
more
than
Chaff
can
feed
:
And
so
do
not
say
the
Fault
is
not
in
our
Teachers
,
but
only
in
us
:
For
I
say
unto
you
in
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
the
Fault
is
now
in
you
both
,
for
the
Day
of
God
is
dawned
,
and
now
you
are
both
warned
,
and
so
are
left
both
without
Excuse
.
There
was
a
Time
of
Darkness
and
Ignorance
which
God
winked
at
,
but
now
the
Life
is
manifest
,
and
the
true
Light
that
enlightens
being
broken
forth
through
the
Clouds
,
you
are
hereby
warned
,
and
all
every
where
exhorted
,
to
Repent
.
So
harken
to
the
measure
of
that
Light
that
shines
in
your
dark
Hearts
,
which
convinceth
you
of
Sin
and
Unbelief
,
and
would
lead
you
from
them
,
this
is
the
Word
of
the
Spirit
of
God
that
is
nigh
you
where-ever
you
are
,
and
from
whose
sight
you
can
hide
nothing
,
though
never
so
secret
.
Here
is
your
Guide
to
God
and
Life
eternal
if
you
love
it
,
and
here
is
the
Door
that
shuts
you
out
from
God
and
his
Glory
if
you
hate
it
;
so
prize
your
time
,
and
while
you
have
time
,
learn
to
know
this
Light
of
Christ
in
your
Consciences
to
be
your
Teacher
and
only
Guide
,
For
why
will
ye
die
,
why
cease
you
not
from
Man
,
whose
breath
is
in
his
Nostrils
,
that
broken
Cistern
?
Time
will
come
when
Fools
will
wish
they
had
been
wiser
,
and
when
God's
Witness
will
be
remembred
,
and
when
such
as
now
Suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
will
be
had
in
Honour
.
Rests
,
as
always
,
your
Friend
Thomas
Taylor
.
And
you
that
go
carelesly
by
this
Window
,
and
do
not
regard
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
Hear
the
Word
of
the
Lord
ye
Careless
ones
,
ye
go
and
come
from
the
Steeple-house
,
and
in
your
Minds
secretly
conclude
that
you
shall
have
Peace
,
and
no
Evil
shall
come
upon
you
,
when
the
Lord
God
hath
spoken
no
Peace
to
you
,
for
there
is
no
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
and
there
you
are
even
in
the
Wickedness
under
the
Wrath
of
God
,
for
the
Wrath
of
God
abides
upon
all
the
Children
of
Disobedience
.
And
verily
the
Lord
is
arising
in
mighty
Power
to
Judge
the
World
by
Jesus
Christ
whom
ye
have
Crucified
,
and
whose
Counsels
you
have
set
at
naught
,
and
have
chosen
rather
to
follow
the
Hireling-Teacher
,
and
his
ways
,
than
the
way
of
the
Lord
God
.
So
consider
what
is
here
said
,
and
run
not
head-long
to
your
own
Destruction
,
for
what
account
can
ye
give
to
a
pure
God
,
in
the
day
of
his
fierce
Wrath
,
who
are
not
yet
at
all
cleansed
from
your
Unrighteousness
;
Will
your
crying
Lord
,
Lord
,
Save
ye
,
who
are
found
doing
your
own
Wills
and
satisfying
your
own
Lushs
,
without
Repentance
.
To
that
in
your
Conscience
I
speak
,
which
,
in
the
day
when
the
Book
of
your
Conscience
is
opened
,
will
justifie
the
Truth
of
these
things
against
you
all
,
who
in
the
broad
way
are
found
at
that
day
to
Condemnation
,
and
the
Day
is
at
hand
,
and
the
Judge
is
at
the
Door
,
and
Wo
will
be
to
such
as
put
it
far
off
.
Rests
the
Lord's
Servant
still
in
this
Prison
,
but
the
Truth
cannot
be
bound
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
King
Charles
the
Second
,
concerning
Persecution
,
&c.
IT
is
in
my
Heart
,
as
from
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
to
warn
thee
to
stop
the
Current
of
that
grievous
Persecution
which
is
raised
up
against
us
,
the
Harmless
People
of
God
,
in
Scorn
called
Quakers
,
for
our
pure
Conscience
sake
at
this
day
:
For
of
a
Truth
the
Lord
God
hath
raised
us
up
in
his
eternal
Love
to
be
his
People
,
to
bear
his
Name
in
Righteousness
before
the
Children
of
Men
,
and
so
to
exercise
our
Consciences
in
a
pure
Love
and
true
Good
Will
towards
God
and
all
Men
as
he
hath
taught
us
,
and
doth
teach
all
that
come
to
him
:
And
therefore
weigh
things
well
in
thy
Heart
,
in
the
cool
of
the
day
,
and
be
not
a
means
of
injuring
us
for
this
the
Exercise
of
our
pure
Conscience
,
for
truly
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
highly
displeased
already
for
what
is
done
against
us
.
O
consider
,
consider
,
Doth
not
his
Holy
Eye
behold
,
and
his
Heavenly
Heart
consider
,
the
great
Wrongs
that
are
daily
done
us
for
his
Names
sake
,
our
Bodies
imprisoned
,
our
Estates
spoiled
,
our
Meeting-houses
pulled
down
;
yea
,
whole
Families
ruined
,
as
to
the
outward
World
,
for
no
other
cause
,
but
because
we
cannot
cease
to
meet
together
in
his
Name
as
he
requires
us
,
and
required
his
,
in
a
most
harmless
and
peaceable
manner
,
as
his
People
in
former
Ages
did
,
and
as
we
have
always
done
,
since
we
were
to
God
a
People
.
And
never
let
it
be
said
,
that
Charles
the
Second
disappointed
the
Good
People
of
the
Land
,
under
his
Government
,
of
their
Expectations
;
for
behold
we
looked
for
the
Continuance
of
Good
Things
from
thee
,
because
of
some
words
passed
out
of
thy
Mouth
,
but
behold
great
Evil
hath
ensued
.
O
let
not
the
Evil
Counsel
of
thy
own
Heart
,
or
of
others
,
cause
thee
to
go
on
in
that
which
will
certainly
bring
God's
Judgments
upon
thy
Soul
and
Body
,
and
the
whole
Nation
,
if
it
be
persisted
in
,
as
this
present
undertaking
against
us
will
do
.
We
desire
not
your
Ruin
no
more
than
our
own
,
but
this
we
know
certainly
,
and
the
Scripture
of
Truth
abundantly
witnesses
it
,
That
never
did
any
Prosper
,
who
did
,
or
suffered
to
be
done
,
so
great
Injury
,
against
a
Harmless
and
Innocent
People
,
as
we
are
known
to
God
to
be
.
O
let
not
the
King
believe
any
longer
,
the
vain
and
false
Suggestions
of
evil
Men
against
us
.
If
we
had
had
any
Mind
against
the
King's
Welfare
,
we
should
not
have
had
that
Boldness
that
we
have
in
God's
sight
and
thine
;
but
now
knowing
in
our
Consciences
,
that
all
our
Endeavours
have
been
from
the
beginning
,
how
to
glo●ifie
God
,
and
to
serve
all
Men
in
Love
to
this
day
,
therefore
are
our
Hearts
in
God's
Truth
,
greatly
strengthened
and
emboldened
to
hold
forth
our
Innocency
before
thee
and
all
Men
,
For
the
Righteous
are
bold
as
a
Lyon
,
praised
be
God
for
ever
.
And
why
should
it
seem
strange
to
thee
,
or
any
at
this
day
,
that
we
cannot
give
over
to
worship
God
as
he
hath
taught
us
,
seeing
to
God
,
the
Judge
of
Quick
and
Dead
,
we
must
give
account
;
and
if
we
could
give
over
our
Meetings
,
and
Holy
Exercises
,
and
please
God
,
we
should
certainly
do
it
,
for
God's
Fear
and
Love
is
in
our
Hearts
;
but
seeing
it
is
God's
Good
Will
,
and
Holy
Command
,
that
we
should
assemble
our selves
together
,
as
we
do
,
to
edifie
one
another
in
our
most
Holy
Faith
,
and
so
to
hold
forth
God's
Truth
,
as
we
have
received
it
,
before
all
,
Why
should
the
King
,
or
the
Parliament
,
or
any
of
his
Counsellors
,
think
much
that
we
should
obey
God
rather
than
Man
in
this
matter
.
Wherein
we
can
,
with
Safety
of
our
Conscience
to
Christ
,
we
do
obey
you
;
but
wherein
we
cannot
,
is
it
not
your
Wisdom
to
bear
with
us
,
as
your selves
in
the
like
case
would
be
done
by
?
And
so
fulfil
the
Royal
Law
indeed
,
which
saith
,
As
you
would
that
Men
should
do
unto
you
,
even
so
do
unto
them
.
And
this
is
a
Law
worthy
a
King
to
meditate
in
night
and
day
,
and
not
to
follow
the
Counsel
that
is
contrary
:
And
this
is
a
Foundation
which
all
Parliaments
and
Councils
ought
to
build
upon
,
or
otherwise
how
is
it
possible
their
House
should
continue
;
for
from
the
height
of
Heaven
hath
the
Lord
beheld
the
Afflictions
and
Oppressions
,
and
heard
the
Groans
and
Cries
of
the
Innocent
Sufferers
in
England
this
day
,
and
will
certainly
deliver
those
that
wait
for
him
:
But
I
would
not
have
the
King
to
be
an
Object
of
God's
Wrath
in
that
day
if
possible
.
And
therefore
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
God
,
am
I
thus
moved
to
write
unto
thee
,
and
lay
these
things
before
thee
,
desiring
that
thou
maist
read
them
,
and
well
weigh
them
,
for
they
are
of
greatest
Concernment
.
And
that
,
which
rightly
made
use
of
,
tends
not
only
to
thy
Well-being
in
this
World
,
but
also
to
the
Eternal
Good
of
thy
Soul
Rests
God's
Servant
,
and
thy
Soul
and
the
Nations
Friend
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
Informers
.
LEt
all
such
in
these
days
,
as
are
Informers
against
the
People
of
God
,
for
their
Holy
Worship
and
Service
to
God
,
consider
,
if
they
have
not
lost
all
savour
of
Good
,
and
care
of
their
Souls
.
What
became
of
all
such
Informers
in
days
past
,
whom
the
Scriptures
make
mention
of
.
And
first
,
let
Haman
,
one
of
the
great
Informers
come
into
your
Mind
,
and
consider
his
Work
and
End
,
a
woful
Work
did
he
work
against
his
own
Soul
,
in
his
Informing
and
Incensing
the
King
Ahasuerus
against
the
Jews
,
because
honest
hearted
Mordecai
could
not
bow
to
his
Pride
,
as
the
Heathen
did
;
and
see
his
End
,
and
tremble
ye
when
ye
read
the
History
of
the
Matter
,
as
at
large
you
may
in
the
Book
of
Esther
.
And
consider
ye
,
in
the
cool
of
the
Day
,
what
became
of
the
Princes
mentioned
in
Daniel
,
who
not
only
in
their
Wickedness
got
a
Law
from
the
King
,
without
cause
,
but
also
Informed
against
the
Holy
Man
Daniel
for
breaking
the
King's
Law
(
which
the
King
never
intended
against
Daniel
)
because
he
pray'd
to
God
as
at
other
times
:
And
read
in
the
History
of
Daniel
,
where
at
large
you
may
read
it
and
tremble
,
what
a
miserable
End
came
upon
them
Informers
,
who
themselves
were
destroyed
in
that
very
Den
of
Lyons
in
which
they
had
thought
to
have
seen
the
end
and
destruction
of
honest-hearted
Daniel
,
but
the
Lord
did
deliver
him
,
as
he
will
ever
do
all
them
that
fear
him
,
from
the
Mouths
of
all
the
Lyons
.
And
let
the
dreadful
End
of
those
miserable
Jews
in
Jeremiah's
Time
,
that
Informed
against
him
for
speaking
the
Word
of
the
Lord
:
And
in
after
time
,
of
those
Jews
that
Informed
against
Jesus
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
come
into
your
Minds
,
and
affright
you
at
Midnight
,
and
terrifie
you
at
Noon-Day
;
for
assuredly
if
you
go
on
with
them
,
and
be
still
found
with
them
in
their
Work
of
Informing
against
,
and
Persecuting
of
the
Righteous
,
you
must
partake
of
their
Plagues
;
as
saith
God's
Truth
,
which
never
failed
in
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
Some
Serious
Considerations
concerning
the
Priests
of
the
High
Places
,
called
Churches
,
their
Sprinkling
Infants
,
Marrying
People
,
and
Burying
their
Dead
,
&c.
1.
IN
their
Sprinkling
they
abuse
,
and
miserably
wrest
Scripture
to
prove
their
Practice
:
For
that
Scripture
,
Suffer
little
Children
to
come
unto
me
,
&c.
speaks
not
a
word
of
Sprinkling
them
,
much
less
of
their
Doings
and
Doctrines
about
it
.
And
for
that
Scripture
,
Except
a
Man
be
born
of
Water
and
the
Spirit
,
&c.
it
is
nothing
at
all
for
them
neither
:
For
it
is
certain
,
the
Spirit
of
God
both
can
and
hath
,
and
daily
doth
Regenerate
People
without
outward
Water
;
but
the
Water
without
the
Spirit
never
did
,
nor
never
can
Regenerate
any
,
and
how
the
Spirit
cometh
to
the
Insensible
Infants
(
that
by
their
own
Confession
cannot
act
Faith
)
or
whether
it
come
to
them
at
all
in
or
by
this
doing
of
theirs
,
I
am
sure
they
cannot
tell
,
neither
have
they
any
reasonable
Ground
to
say
or
think
it
doth
,
seeing
there
is
no
Command
nor
Promise
at
all
,
in
all
the
Scripture
for
it
,
upon
such
their
Doings
,
upon
such
Subjects
,
unless
they
will
say
with
the
gross
Papists
,
that
Grace
is
conferred
upon
People
,
ex
opere
operato
,
viz.
by
the
Priests
meer
doing
about
them
.
2.
They
commit
another
great
Evil
in
this
Matter
in
bringing
in
People
to
promise
that
for
the
little
Children
which
they
neither
do
,
nor
(
of
themselves
)
never
can
do
;
nay
,
which
they
have
not
Faith
so
much
as
to
believe
that
ever
any
can
do
by
any
means
,
whilst
they
are
upon
the
Earth
;
to
wit
,
to
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
&c.
which
is
manifest
by
their
denial
of
sinless
Perfection
,
since
all
Sin
is
the
Devil's
Work
:
And
after
the
old
Popish
manner
calling
them
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
,
so
taking
God's
Name
in
vain
;
and
otherwhile
calling
them
Sureties
,
so
taking
Christ's
Office
from
him
,
who
is
the
alone
Surety
,
Mediator
and
Advocate
between
God
and
Man
.
3.
And
Thirdly
,
In
their
great
Blindness
and
Presumption
,
calling
upon
the
People
to
give
God
Thanks
with
them
,
for
that
he
hath
Regenerated
,
as
they
say
,
the
Infant
or
Infants
then
under
their
hands
by
such
doings
;
though
as
I
said
,
they
have
neither
Precept
nor
Promise
for
it
,
nor
Manifestation
from
God
then
upon
the
Child
,
for
their
so
believing
and
concluding
.
And
so
for
their
manifold
taking
God's
Name
thus
in
vain
,
and
causing
you
their
Followers
to
do
so
also
,
how
shall
they
be
held
Guiltless
:
For
,
saith
God
,
I
will
not
hold
them
Guiltless
that
take
my
Name
in
vain
.
And
how
can
these
Priests
blame
the
blind
Papists
for
their
foolish
Doctrine
of
washing
away
Original
Sin
by
their
Baby
Baptism
,
when
they
by
the
like
doing
proclaim
Regeneration
and
Inheritance
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
to
such
as
can
neither
Exercise
Faith
nor
Repentance
in
it
.
Tell
me
,
whether
is
greater
,
washing
away
Original
Sin
,
or
Regenerating
and
giving
Inheritance
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
.
O
what
a
Reformation
is
this
?
If
this
be
not
amended
,
surely
God's
Hand
will
be
stretched
out
against
you
still
.
But
you
present
Parish-Teachers
,
that
practice
this
thing
,
Answer
this
sober
and
necessary
Question
:
Do
you
believe
this
your
own
Doctrine
and
Practice
to
be
good
,
or
you
rather
do
it
because
this
is
the
way
to
please
the
Times
,
and
so
to
get
Money
?
If
the
former
,
then
are
you
blind
Guides
indeed
.
If
the
latter
,
then
are
you
Covetous
indeed
.
And
Covetousness
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
is
Idolatry
.
And
then
let
all
judge
,
whether
either
of
these
be
fit
to
guide
and
teach
others
.
And
next
,
in
their
Marrying
of
People
,
besides
their
manifold
taking
of
God's
Name
in
vain
,
as
in
their
other
doings
;
and
besides
,
their
evil
Custom
of
the
Ring
,
do
not
they
teach
the
People
to
swear
and
commit
Idolatry
,
in
saying
,
With
this
Ring
I
thee
Wed
,
with
my
Body
I
thee
Worship
,
and
with
all
my
worldly
Goods
I
thee
Endow
;
and
at
the
conclusion
of
their
Work
,
must
plight
their
Troth
one
to
another
.
Is
this
sound
Doctrine
?
These
Priests
use
to
say
the
Scripture
is
their
Rule
.
But
no
Scripture
is
there
for
certain
for
such
doings
as
this
;
but
against
it
(
if
this
be
an
Oath
)
for
Christ
saith
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
but
these
Priests
not
only
break
this
Commandment
themselves
,
but
teach
others
so
to
do
also
;
and
so
as
Christ
saith
,
are
least
in
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
:
And
Christ
saith
,
Thou
shalt
Worship
the
Lord
thy
God
only
,
but
these
teach
People
to
Worship
one
another
.
And
doth
the
Priest
examine
whether
this
be
true
,
which
he
teacheth
the
Man
to
say
to
the
Woman
,
With
all
my
Worldly
Goods
I
thee
Endow
?
Or
they
matter
not
what
they
do
?
so
as
they
can
stubber
over
the
business
and
get
Money
.
But
that
which
makes
all
this
the
worse
,
is
,
that
it
must
be
declared
to
be
done
in
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Ghost
,
though
never
so
unscriptural
and
corrupt
.
And
therefore
will
the
Lord
visit
for
this
thing
also
.
But
from
the
beginning
of
Genesis
to
the
end
of
the
Revelations
,
I
do
not
find
that
there
is
any
Command
from
God
,
either
for
Priests
under
the
Law
,
or
Ministers
under
the
Gospel
,
to
Marry
People
,
nor
so
much
as
an
Example
that
they
did
it
.
But
the
true
Gospel
Minister
keeps
himself
pure
to
Christ
out
of
the
World
's
Evil
Customs
and
Self-Ends
,
lest
he
come
under
Condemnation
for
partaking
with
them
in
their
Sins
:
For
now
is
the
Cry
gone
forth
from
the
Lord
,
Come
out
of
Babylon
my
People
,
lest
partaking
with
her
in
her
Sins
,
ye
partake
also
of
her
Plagues
.
And
therefore
when
People
that
pretend
much
,
run
into
things
without
the
Heavenly
Call
,
it
's
no
wonder
to
see
so
much
Evil
attend
their
doings
.
And
,
Lastly
,
when
they
come
to
Bury
People
,
having
begun
so
badly
,
they
continue
so
to
the
end
;
for
having
ushered
in
the
dead
Body
in
their
Superstitious
Surplice
to
the
Grave
,
they
must
say
,
Earth
to
Earth
,
Ashes
to
Ashes
,
and
Dust
to
Dust
,
in
sure
and
certain
hope
of
Resurrection
to
Life
Eternal
,
of
all
they
so
Bury
.
Is
not
this
a
sore
Evil
,
to
conclude
so
directly
against
Christ's
words
,
who
saith
,
John
5.29
.
That
some
,
not
all
,
shall
come
forth
to
the
Resurrection
of
Life
,
and
some
to
the
Resurrection
of
Damnation
.
But
you
say
all
,
at
least
all
,
that
come
under
your
hands
thus
to
be
Buried
,
though
they
live
and
dye
never
so
badly
.
Nay
,
these
Buriers
profess
that
they
have
a
sure
and
certain
hope
of
it
too
,
though
oftentimes
it
so
falls
out
,
that
they
have
no
knowledge
of
the
Party
so
Buried
,
neither
of
the
Person
Life
nor
Death
.
But
what
shall
be
said
to
such
Priests
and
People
whose
Eyes
are
so
blinded
with
Evil
Custom
and
Covetousness
,
that
they
heed
not
much
what
they
say
or
do
,
but
heap
up
Wrath
against
the
day
of
Wrath
,
against
their
poor
Souls
.
But
the
true
Spiritual
Man
,
the
true
Christian
,
who
is
a
new
Creature
in
Christ
Jesus
,
sees
all
these
things
,
and
judges
them
and
avoids
them
.
And
now
,
as
for
the
Sermons
,
Prayings
,
and
Preachings
of
such
corrupt
Men
as
these
,
what
are
they
good
for
,
or
what
benefit
hath
or
can
your
Souls
,
O
People
,
expect
to
reap
from
them
?
Can
a
corrupt
Tree
bring
forth
good
Fruit
,
can
Chaff
Feed
Peoples
Souls
?
And
he
that
hath
not
the
Word
it self
,
which
is
Spirit
and
Life
,
and
as
a
Hammer
and
Fire
,
though
he
may
have
and
run
with
the
Words
that
declare
of
it
,
as
the
False
Prophets
of
old
did
,
for
filthy
Lucre
,
yet
he
is
but
a
Dreamer
and
a
Deceiver
of
his
own
and
others
Souls
,
Jer.
23.
And
though
for
Witnessing
against
such
as
these
do
,
I
suffer
Imprisonment
,
yet
herein
is
my
Joy
,
that
the
Lord
hath
deliver'd
my
Soul
from
the
trouble
which
they
lye
in
;
and
that
I
am
accounted
worthy
to
speak
for
God
against
Deceit
.
So
all
People
consider
what
you
have
to
do
,
for
this
is
the
day
of
the
Revelation
of
all
things
reprovable
;
and
so
whatever
hath
been
hid
in
Darkness
,
is
now
by
the
true
Light
to
be
made
manifest
.
And
though
the
Wicked
in
their
several
dark
Forms
,
dig
as
deep
as
Hell
,
and
think
to
hide
their
Counsels
and
their
Doings
never
so
deep
in
the
Dark
,
yet
to
this
Day
of
God
which
is
already
Dawned
,
and
in
great
Power
arisen
,
must
they
all
come
forth
to
be
judged
,
and
to
receive
every
one
a
Reward
according
to
their
Doigns
,
without
respect
of
Persons
or
Professions
,
as
testifies
his
good
Spirit
in
and
by
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
And
what
also
shall
be
said
to
that
one
thing
amongst
many
in
your
Communion
,
where
it
is
said
to
the
Receiver
of
the
Bread
and
Wine
when
the
Priest
delivers
it
,
The
Body
or
Blood
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
preserve
thy
Body
and
Soul
unto
Eternal
or
Everlasting
Life
.
Is
this
holding
the
Form
of
Scripture
Words
,
or
of
sound
Words
,
as
the
Apostle
Exhorts
?
Do
you
pray
in
Faith
when
you
say
these
words
,
O
Priests
,
or
may
it
not
be
said
rather
to
you
,
who
hath
required
this
at
your
Hands
.
And
do
you
consider
what
Bodies
and
Souls
these
People
have
that
you
would
have
thus
preserved
,
are
they
clean
,
are
they
pure
,
perfect
,
and
Holy
;
For
such
as
are
preserved
unto
everlasting
Life
must
first
be
such
,
because
no
unclean
thing
enters
God's
Kingdom
.
And
the
Church
that
Christ
presents
to
himself
is
such
as
are
Sanctified
,
and
throughly
Washed
by
his
Word
from
all
Spot
and
Stain
of
Sin
,
Ephes.
5.25
,
26
,
27.
But
what
have
you
to
do
here
,
you
miserable
Offenders
,
who
by
your
own
daily
and
customary
Confession
,
have
no
Spiritual
Health
in
you
.
So
as
Israel's
outward
Lepers
were
shut
out
of
the
Camp
by
the
Law
,
so
out
of
the
Fellowship
of
God's
Spiritual
Israel
must
the
inward
and
Spiritual
Lepers
be
kept
this
day
:
It
is
so
.
To
the
Jury-Men
of
Appleby
.
ALL
ye
of
the
Jury
(
which
is
by
Interpretation
Swearers
or
Sworn-Men
)
who
are
not
yet
come
to
Christ's
Doctrine
,
where
the
Yea
is
the
Yea
,
and
the
Nay
is
the
Nay
:
Such
,
I
say
,
of
you
who
found
the
Bill
,
and
brought
in
the
Verdict
as
it
is
called
against
me
for
a
Disturber
of
the
Peace
,
because
in
Obedience
to
God
I
witnessed
against
Deceipt
publickly
amongst
you
.
Consider
,
Do
you
know
what
you
have
done
?
Do
you
know
what
Verdict
signifies
?
a
Verdict
sounds
in
your
Language
as
much
as
a
true
Saying
,
or
conclusion
upon
consideration
of
things
in
question
;
and
is
yours
brought
in
against
me
so
,
to
that
of
God
in
all
your
Consciences
I
speak
,
which
if
you
had
taken
Counsel
at
,
and
not
your
own
Wills
,
you
would
not
have
called
Good
Evil
,
nor
brought
in
your
own
words
against
the
Innocent
,
for
by
judging
this
,
which
was
done
in
me
to
be
a
Crime
,
do
you
not
condemn
the
Holy
Men
of
God
,
mentioned
in
Scripture
,
who
were
often
commanded
of
God
,
both
contrary
to
their
own
Wills
,
and
the
Wills
of
all
the
World
,
to
declare
against
the
Sins
both
of
Priests
,
Rulers
,
and
People
in
the
most
publick
Places
and
greatest
Meetings
;
yea
,
and
most
solemn
Assemblies
,
as
you
may
read
in
Scripture
;
and
by
this
your
Judgment
,
do
you
net
justifie
those
in
those
Days
,
who
Persecuted
the
Prophets
and
Holy
Men
of
God
for
their
Witness
sake
;
and
so
do
what
in
you
lies
to
bring
the
Judgments
of
God
upon
your
own
Heads
,
as
those
in
those
Days
did
,
who
took
Counsel
,
and
not
at
the
Spirit
of
God
.
So
consider
what
I
say
,
and
make
your
Peace
with
God
,
for
it
is
your
own
Sins
,
and
not
the
words
that
were
spoken
through
me
,
which
have
disturbed
it
,
and
broken
it
,
and
do
no
more
so
wickedly
,
for
the
Day
of
the
Lord
is
upon
all
the
Unrighteous
of
the
World
,
and
in
him
have
I
Peace
,
who
breaks
no
Peace
but
that
of
the
Wicked
,
whose
Peace
God
will
break
for
ever
;
and
so
you
having
time
prize
it
,
for
this
is
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
,
and
a
warning
to
all
your
Souls
,
rests
Thomas
Taylor
.
From
Appleby
Goal
.
And
further
consider
,
how
durst
you
say
,
or
how
dare
you
say
,
that
what
was
done
by
me
was
done
maliciously
and
wilfully
,
is
there
no
fear
of
God
abiding
in
your
Hearts
.
Awake
,
awake
to
Righteousness
,
for
herein
you
have
not
done
according
to
the
knowiedge
of
God
,
I
speak
this
to
your
Shame
.
To
Judges
and
Rulers
.
HEar
,
O
Judges
and
Rulers
!
and
hearken
,
O
all
People
!
the
Lord
hath
a
Controversie
with
you
;
your
Teachers
have
deceived
you
,
and
you
that
have
followed
them
are
destroyed
:
You
are
full
of
Strifes
and
Debates
,
your
Iniquities
are
increased
,
your
Assizes
are
full
,
your
Fat
overflows
,
your
Pride
and
Vain-glory
,
with
your
Profession
,
is
grown
high
;
and
in
the
open
Sun
are
these
things
manifest
,
and
you
are
grown
a
heavy
Burden
,
so
that
the
pure
God
will
speedily
ease
himself
of
you
,
for
the
Soul
of
the
Righteous
is
grieved
,
with
hearing
and
seeing
what
is
daily
done
amongst
you
.
Therefore
,
while
you
have
time
all
prize
it
,
for
this
is
the
day
of
your
Visitation
,
and
in
this
day
shall
no
Hypocrite
,
nor
Worker
of
Iniquity
,
be
able
to
stand
:
As
witnesseth
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
God
in
and
by
his
Servant
Thomas
Taylor
.
A
Testimony
of
Truth
.
MANY
are
the
Enemies
of
the
Glory
of
Christ
in
this
his
day
,
who
through
their
wilful
and
affected
Ignorance
,
would
set
up
a
Faith
in
the
People
,
that
purifies
not
their
Hearts
to
God
,
nor
presents
them
Spotless
and
without
Sin
in
his
sight
,
carrying
the
poor
People
in
hand
,
that
they
may
be
Christians
and
abide
in
Christ
,
though
they
Sin
and
do
Evil
,
directly
contrary
to
the
plain
Doctrine
of
the
Scripture
,
1
John
3.3
,
6
,
7
,
8
,
9.
which
John
saith
,
And
ye
(
to
wit
the
Brethren
)
know
that
he
(
to
wit
Christ
)
was
manifested
to
take
away
our
Sins
,
and
in
him
is
no
Sin
:
Whosoever
abideth
in
him
sinneth
not
:
Whosoever
sinneth
,
hath
not
seen
him
,
nor
known
him
.
And
amongst
these
Enemies
of
Christ's
Kingdom
and
Glory
,
are
found
even
many
who
highly
profess
him
in
words
,
who
therefore
would
be
accounted
better
than
others
;
yet
upon
true
Search
and
Tryal
,
are
as
Ignorant
of
the
Mystery
of
God
and
Christ
as
any
;
as
was
yester
day
manifest
by
two
of
their
Teachers
;
one
whereof
affirmed
,
That
even
the
Perfection
wrought
by
or
in
Christ
,
was
not
Sinless
:
And
the
other
denying
,
and
going
about
with
all
his
might
to
prove
,
That
this
plain
Scripture
here
set
down
,
must
not
be
understood
literally
as
it
speaks
;
nor
that
other
Verse
9.
of
this
forementioned
Chapter
,
which
saith
,
Whosoever
is
born
of
God
,
doth
not
commit
Sin
;
for
his
Seed
remaineth
in
him
,
and
he
cannot
Sin
,
because
he
is
born
of
God
.
But
it
must
,
saith
he
,
be
understood
some
other
way
than
the
letter
speaks
,
otherwise
(
saith
he
)
it
would
make
People
go
out
of
their
Wits
,
What
none
born
of
God
that
Sins
?
Can
People
live
and
not
Sin
?
or
to
this
purpose
.
I
will
bring
a
Scripture
,
saith
he
,
to
prove
,
That
these
words
of
John
have
some
other
meaning
,
and
not
to
be
understood
literally
as
they
speak
.
Yet
H.
Osland
,
in
one
of
his
Papers
,
says
,
They
follow
the
Lamb
in
all
his
ways
.
Which
Profession
of
his
,
though
it
be
most
False
,
as
is
manifest
,
yet
from
his
words
I
demand
,
Whether
such
as
follows
the
Lamb
in
all
his
ways
,
or
whithersoever
he
goes
,
do
Sin
,
Yea
or
Nay
?
Is
not
the
Lamb's
way
undefiled
?
And
they
that
walk
in
that
way
are
undefiled
,
are
they
not
?
Are
not
these
the
Called
,
and
Faithful
,
and
Chosen
?
And
then
he
turned
to
the
Book
of
Ecclesiastes
,
Chap.
9.3
.
which
saith
,
Yea
,
also
the
heart
of
the
Sons
of
Men
is
full
of
Evil
,
and
Madness
is
in
their
heart
while
they
live
,
and
after
that
they
go
to
the
Dead
.
To
which
was
answered
,
This
shews
only
the
State
of
Man
by
Nature
in
the
Fall
,
and
so
under
the
Law
and
Curse
,
and
doth
not
at
all
concern
the
Gospel-Dispensation
,
which
Ministers
Righteousness
and
Life
to
the
Soul
,
and
gives
a
new
,
clean
and
wise
Heart
,
according
to
the
Blessed
Promise
that
saith
,
I
will
give
them
a
new
Heart
,
and
Circumcise
their
Hearts
,
that
they
may
sear
me
,
saith
God
.
According
to
that
blessed
Doctrine
of
the
Apostles
,
which
saith
,
To
such
as
really
believed
in-Christ
,
and
so
were
not
under
the
Law
,
but
under
Grace
,
ye
are
God's
Workmanship
,
created
in
Christ
Jesus
unto
good
Works
,
which
God
hath
ordained
you
shall
walk
in
them
.
What
will
this
Contender
go
on
in
his
Blindness
,
Blaspheming
and
saying
,
That
Madness
is
in
the
Hearts
of
these
while
they
live
,
and
that
these
new
Creatures
,
in
Christ
Jesus
,
are
full
of
Evil
in
their
Hearts
while
they
live
,
and
so
go
to
the
Dead
.
O
Sad
,
that
ever
such
should
take
upon
them
to
be
Teachers
of
others
,
and
be
so
Ignorant
of
the
Gospel-Mystery
themselves
:
And
therefore
Woful
and
Miserable
must
needs
the
Condition
of
all
such
be
that
follow
them
;
for
as
Christ
said
,
If
the
Blind
lead
the
Blind
,
they
must
both
fall
into
the
Ditch
;
and
in
the
Ditch
they
are
both
,
in
this
day
of
God
,
manifested
to
be
;
and
that
which
makes
their
Sin
out
of
measure
sinful
,
is
their
Unwillingness
to
come
out
of
it
,
though
one
do
reach
never
so
loving
a
hand
of
help
unto
them
:
Also
by
this
we
know
,
that
they
are
no
Messengers
of
God
,
who
cannot
put
a
difference
betwixt
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
,
to
wit
,
between
such
as
are
under
the
Curse
of
the
Law
,
and
such
as
are
under
Grace
;
to
wit
,
betwixt
such
as
are
born
after
the
Flesh
,
and
such
as
are
born
after
the
Spirit
.
But
here
the
Apostle
John
,
a
true
Minister
of
Jesus
,
put
the
real
difference
,
when
he
said
in
the
forementioned
Epistle
and
Chapter
,
Ver.
7
,
8
&
10.
Little
Children
,
let
no
Man
deceive
you
.
He
that
doth
Righteousness
,
is
Righteous
,
even
as
he
(
to
wit
,
Christ
)
is
Righteous
.
He
that
commi●teth
Sin
is
of
the
Devil
,
for
the
Devil
sinneth
from
the
beginning
:
For
this
purpose
the
Son
of
God
was
manifested
,
that
he
might
destroy
the
Works
of
the
Devil
.
And
in
this
the
Children
of
God
are
manifest
,
and
the
Children
of
the
Devil
:
Whosoever
doth
not
Righteousness
,
is
not
of
God
.
So
Wo
to
all
evil
Doers
,
and
unclean-hearted
hearted
ones
,
who
believe
not
the
Truth
,
nor
receive
the
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
but
in
your
Hearts
suffer
Madness
and
Folly
to
rest
,
and
in
your
Hearts
continue
full
of
Evil
while
you
live
,
and
so
with
the
Dead
lye
down
in
Sorrow
.
But
on
the
other
hand
,
Blessed
and
Happy
for
ever
are
all
you
who
have
believed
in
the
Light
Christ
Jesus
,
and
abide
in
him
with
Thanksgiving
,
your
Cup
daily
overflows
with
Heavenly
Blessings
,
from
his
Heavenly
Fullness
,
and
ye
are
Compleat
in
him
who
is
the
Head
of
all
Principality
and
Power
,
and
in
whom
are
hid
all
the
Treasures
of
Wisdom
and
Knowledge
;
and
in
him
abiding
,
you
daily
witness
his
Circumcision
in
you
,
which
is
made
without
Hands
,
in
putting
off
the
Body
of
the
Sins
of
the
Flesh
,
and
not
keeping
on
you
the
Body
of
the
Sins
of
the
Flesh
,
as
the
Hypocrites
do
,
who
only
talk
of
Christ
,
but
in
his
Life
do
not
walk
.
So
all
Dear
People
,
who
love
your
own
Souls
,
and
would
know
the
Salvation
that
is
in
and
by
Christ
Jesus
,
come
out
from
amongst
them
that
plead
for
the
Devil's
hold
,
which
is
Sin
,
Folly
and
Madness
,
to
be
in
Peoples
Hearts
while
they
live
,
as
though
the
Son
of
God
were
not
come
to
destroy
the
Devil's
Work
,
which
is
Sin
,
and
so
to
cleanse
the
Heart
,
Soul
and
Conscience
to
God
from
Sin
.
And
being
come
out
from
amongst
these
Blind
Guides
,
you
will
come
Savingly
in
the
Light
of
Jesus
,
that
leads
forth
from
them
(
all
you
that
follow
the
Light
)
to
know
daily
more
and
more
the
things
that
belong
to
your
Eternal
Peace
.
Also
to
set
forth
the
Fruits
of
these
Teachers
,
how
little
they
prosit
them
that
follow
them
,
because
they
have
run
and
God
never
sent
them
,
I
shall
mention
one
Passage
which
I
had
with
some
of
these
Nonconforming-Priests
Followers
at
Stafford
;
for
I
being
moved
of
the
Lord
to
go
amongst
them
,
they
did
not
only
violently
haw●
me
forth
with
their
hands
,
and
threatning
Persecution
to
me
from
the
Mayor
,
but
also
opposed
the
Blessed
Doctrine
of
Sinless
Perfection
by
Christ
,
with
an
Argument
,
directly
one
in
nature
with
that
which
Priest
Osland
,
one
of
their
Teachers
,
yesterday
brought
to
the
same
end
,
as
is
said
,
and
it
was
this
,
Rom.
3.10
,
&c.
There
is
none
Righteous
,
no
,
not
one
:
There
is
none
that
understandeth
,
there
is
none
that
seeketh
after
God
.
None
that
doth
good
,
nor
knows
the
way
of
Peace
,
nor
have
any
fear
of
God
before
their
Eyes
,
but
Destruction
and
Misery
are
in
all
their
ways
,
&c.
Now
when
they
had
brought
this
,
I
could
not
but
somewhat
wonder
to
see
such
gross
Ignorance
of
the
Gospel
in
such
a
Professing
People
,
for
who
could
so
have
abused
and
wrested
Scripture
,
as
to
bring
the
wretched
State
of
such
as
are
manifestly
declared
by
their
Works
,
to
be
under
the
Law
and
Curse
,
to
prove
against
the
Happy
State
of
such
as
by
Christ
are
delivered
from
both
,
and
stated
into
the
Holy
Life
of
God's
own
Righteousness
.
And
so
these
Professors
,
who
know
not
God
nor
Christ
,
are
laying
all
these
heavy
Charges
upon
God's
Elect
,
whom
he
justifieth
.
What
have
Christ's
Members
no
fear
of
God
before
their
Eyes
?
And
do
not
they
know
the
way
of
Peace
,
but
Destruction
and
Misery
in
all
their
Ways
,
like
the
wicked
World
,
whose
Mouths
must
be
stopped
;
yea
,
yea
,
praised
be
the
Lord
for
Ever
;
the
Day-spring
from
on
high
hath
vilited
us
that
sate
in
Darkness
,
and
the
true
Light
now
shineth
,
that
hath
led
the
Zion
of
God
out
of
all
those
Condemnable
Things
before-mentioned
,
into
the
Way
of
Life
,
Truth
,
Holiness
,
and
Peace
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
Ever
.
And
so
by
this
it
appears
how
like
these
Priests
and
their
Followers
are
,
all
sucking
at
the
Breasts
of
that
Mystical
Whore
and
Dragon
that
opposes
the
Lamb
,
and
his
Followers
,
but
the
Lamb
shall
always
have
the
Victory
,
as
he
hath
this
Day
,
Glory
to
his
Name
over
all
.
For
a
Voice
came
out
of
the
Throne
(
saith
John
,
Rev.
19.5
.
)
saying
,
Praise
our
God
all
ye
his
Servants
,
and
all
yet
hat
fear
him
small
and
great
:
And
I
heard
as
it
were
the
Voice
of
a
great
Multitude
,
and
as
the
V●ice
of
many
Waters
,
and
as
the
Voice
of
mighty
Thunderings
,
saying
,
Alleluja
,
for
the
Lord
God
Omnipotent
reigneth
.
Let
us
be
glad
,
and
rejoice
,
and
give
honour
to
him
,
for
the
Marriage
of
the
Lamb
is
come
,
and
his
Wife
hath
made
her self
ready
;
and
to
her
was
granted
that
she
should
be
arrayed
in
fine
Linnen
,
clean
and
white
;
for
the
fine
Linnen
is
the
Righteousness
of
Saints
:
And
is
not
this
Garment
sinless
,
and
without
spot
?
Yea
,
yea
,
And
blessed
are
they
that
are
called
to
the
Marriage
Supper
of
the
Lamb.
Amen
.
Thomas

To
all
that
are
Worshipping
in
the
Outward
Court
,
without
God
in
the
World
,
in
diverse
Forms
.
THE
ETernal
Truth
of
God
is
now
making
i●self
manifest
in
Sons
and
Daughters
,
Servants
and
Handmaids
,
according
to
Scripture
,
and
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
to
his
own
Glory
is
raifing
up
his
own
Seed
by
his
own
Power
,
and
in
this
Day
of
ours
working
that
Work
and
Wonder
which
the
Children
of
the
Night
cannot
believe
,
though
it
be
told
them
.
And
now
is
the
Searcher
of
Hearts
appeared
,
and
the
hidden
things
of
Esau
are
in
searching
up
,
and
Judgment
begins
to
take
hold
upon
Old
Ely's
House
,
and
the
Vengeance
of
the
Almighty
upon
his
Propha●e
Sons
:
And
now
that
these
things
are
in
doing
,
the
Powers
of
Darkness
band
themselves
together
to
keep
out
the
Judgment
,
but
all
in
vain
,
for
the
Consumption
decreed
must
overflow
in
Righteousness
,
and
the
Hall
shall
sweep
away
the
Refuge
of
Lies
in
Priest
and
People
,
and
all
Fellow
ships
and
Communions
of
People
,
whose
Hearts
are
in
the
Earth
,
and
who
are
covered
,
but
not
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
must
be
cast
out
,
and
have
their
Portion
with
the
Hypocrites
,
where
is
weeping
,
and
wailing
,
and
gnashing
of
Teeth
for
Ever
.
And
now
that
Christ
Jesus
,
the
True
Light
,
is
arising
,
the
Children
of
the
Night
,
Who
love
Darkness
rather
than
Light
,
because
their
Deeds
are
evil
,
are
inventing
all
manner
of
false
Covers
,
and
false
Arguments
,
to
hide
their
Nakedness
and
Shame
withal
;
but
the
Judgment
of
this
Light
they
cannot
avoid
,
for
it
is
to
give
to
every
Man
according
to
his
Deeds
.
And
now
therefore
all
ye
Teachers
of
the
People
awake
,
and
arise
to
Judgment
,
and
bring
your
Deeds
to
the
Light
,
and
you
Principal
of
the
Flock
come
forth
,
for
the
words
of
the
Lord
by
Jeremy
his
Prophet
,
Chap.
25.
Ver.
34
,
35
,
36.
are
now
to
have
their
perfect
Accomplishment
upon
you
.
And
these
are
the
words
,
Howl
ye
Shepherds
,
and
cry
,
and
wallow
your selves
in
the
Ashes
,
ye
Principal
of
the
Flock
,
for
the
Days
of
your
slaughter
,
and
your
Dispersions
are
accomplished
,
and
ye
shall
fall
like
a
pleasant
Vessel
,
and
the
Shepherds
shall
have
no
way
to
flee
,
nor
the
Principal
of
the
Flock
to
escape
:
A
voice
of
the
Cry
of
the
Shepherds
,
and
an
Howling
of
the
Principal
of
the
Flock
shall
be
heard
,
for
the
Lord
hath
spoiled
their
Pasture
.
Now
he
that
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
hath
here
commanded
to
be
left
in
writing
:
And
see
and
consider
,
all
you
that
are
under
the
Wo
of
these
words
,
even
all
you
who
are
called
of
Men
Masters
,
with
your
Elders
and
Officers
,
and
Repent
,
for
where
will
you
hide
your selves
?
And
where
will
ye
leave
your
Glory
?
For
the
Lion
of
the
Tribe
of
Judah
is
arisen
,
and
it
is
God
,
and
not
Man
,
Spirit
,
and
not
Flesh
,
that
is
pleading
with
ye
;
and
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
Wisdom
of
the
Beast
will
not
shelter
you
,
nor
secure
you
from
the
Wrath
of
him
that
sits
upon
the
Throne
,
and
of
the
Lamb.
For
now
though
you
be
changed
,
as
to
the
outward
form
,
somewhat
from
the
way
of
your
Forefathers
,
yet
in
the
same
Nature
and
Steps
,
as
to
the
substance
of
Things
,
are
ye
found
;
for
were
they
justly
cast
out
for
feeding
themselves
,
and
not
the
Flock
?
Ezek.
34.
And
is
it
not
so
with
you
?
And
did
not
their
House
become
desolate
,
because
they
stuck
to
the
Shadows
,
and
denied
,
yea
,
Crucified
the
Lord
of
Life
,
the
Substance
,
in
his
Appearance
?
Luke
13.34
,
35.
And
is
it
not
so
with
you
?
And
was
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
grieved
then
to
see
that
filthy
and
horrible
thing
committed
in
the
Land
,
to
wit
,
to
see
the
Prophets
prophesie
falsly
,
and
to
see
the
Priests
bear
rule
by
their
means
,
and
to
see
the
People
love
to
have
it
so
?
Jer.
5.30
,
31.
And
is
it
not
so
found
now
with
you
?
And
was
it
not
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
that
moved
to
Cry
against
such
then
as
stood
for
Watchmen
over
the
People
,
and
yet
were
Blind
and
Ignorant
,
yea
,
as
Dumb
Dogs
,
and
greedy
,
which
could
never
have
enough
;
such
Shepherds
as
could
not
understand
,
who
all
of
them
looked
to
their
own
way
,
every
one
for
his
Gain
from
his
Quarter
?
Isa.
56.10.11
.
And
is
it
not
with
you
so
now
?
And
were
not
the
People
a
prey
to
the
Enemy
of
the
Soul
,
when
things
were
thus
with
them
then
as
it
is
now
?
And
was
it
not
for
the
Covetousness
and
Cruelty
of
the
Teachers
of
the
People
,
that
the
Lord
brought
his
Judgments
upon
them
,
so
that
they
had
no
Answer
of
God
,
Micah
3.5
,
6
,
7.
As
it
is
now
?
And
what
was
it
that
made
the
Priests
contemptible
and
base
in
the
Eyes
of
the
People
,
but
their
horrible
Breach
of
God's
Covenant
?
Mal.

,

As
it
is
now
.
And
therefore
ye
Proud
Men
called
Ministers
and
Teachers
of
the
People
in
the
High
Places
in
England
,
and
elsewhere
,
who
have
made
a
Covenant
with
Hell
and
Death
,
as
those
of
Old
did
in
Jerusalem
earthly
;
hearken
,
and
give
ear
,
for
the
Lord
hath
a
Controversie
with
you
,
as
he
had
with
your
Fathers
,
who
were
in
Covenant
with
the
Powers
of
Darkness
,
to
keep
the
People
in
Blindness
and
Ignorance
from
the
true
Light
and
Life
then
,
as
is
your
continued
Custom
now
;
for
saith
Hosea
in
his
Day
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
As
a
Troop
of
Robbers
wait
for
a
Man
,
so
the
Company
of
Priests
Murther
in
the
way
by
consent
,
for
they
commit
lewdness
,
Hos.
6.9
.
And
is
it
not
so
with
you
now
?
See
and
try
,
and
let
that
of
God
in
all
Consciences
give
Judgment
,
and
both
your selves
,
and
all
your
Congregations
,
see
and
consider
,
and
fear
the
Lord
,
and
be
not
Mockers
,
lest
your
Bands
be
made
strong
,
Is
it
not
so
with
you
now
,
as
it
was
with
them
of
Old
,
which
the
Lord
sent
Isaiah
his
Prophet
to
declare
against
,
Chap.
29.
to
whom
these
words
were
sent
,
Ver.
9
,
&c.
Stay
your selves
and
wonder
,
&c.
(
Here
the
words
to
the
15th
Verse
were
written
at
large
;
and
after
them
)
see
and
consider
,
is
not
this
your
Condition
?
And
are
you
not
worshipping
in
the
oldness
of
the
Letter
,
and
the
earthly
Spirit
,
and
not
in
the
newness
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
Heavenly
Wisdom
,
which
is
pure
,
peaceable
,
and
full
of
the
Fruits
of
Righteousness
,
without
Partiality
,
without
Hypocrisie
.
And
therefore
will
the
Fire
of
the
Lord
be
hard
to
endure
by
you
;
for
now
the
Sinners
in
Sion
are
afraid
,
and
fearfulness
surprizeth
the
Hypocrites
,
because
of
the
Everlasting
Burnings
;
see
Isa.

And
take
warning
while
time
is
,
for
this
is
the
Day
of
the
Lord's
Visitation
,
and
witnessed
by
his
Spirit
in
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
William
Thornton
,
called
Justice
,
at
Hipswell
,
in
York-shire

Divulged
for
the
Information
of
other
moderate
Enquirers
after
the
Lord
.
FRIEND
,
I
have
received
thy
Lines
,
in
answer
to
those
I
sent
thee
;
and
thou
dost
rightly
conceive
of
the
ground
of
my
writing
them
to
thee
;
for
it
was
indeed
out
of
pure
Love
to
that
which
lieth
in
the
Death
in
thee
,
thy
Soul
,
unto
which
I
spoke
(
though
in
the
Death
)
to
hearken
to
the
Light
of
God
that
shines
in
thy
dark
Heart
;
for
the
Gospel
is
Preached
to
the
Imprisoned
Souls
,
who
are
dead
in
Sins
and
Trespasses
,
that
the
dead
may
hear
the
voice
of
the
Son
of
God
,
(
even
of
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
the
Gospel
it self
,
the
true
Light
and
Life
of
Men
,
who
shines
in
Darkness
,
though
the
Darkness
do
not
comprehend
it
)
and
so
live
.
And
if
thou
hast
an
Ear
within
open
,
thou
may'st
hear
what
here
is
spoken
,
and
so
there
will
be
no
contradiction
in
directing
thee
to
a
pure
Principle
,
to
attend
to
the
pure
Light
of
God
within
,
freely
given
to
guide
to
himself
;
but
thou
wilt
,
if
thou
be'st
once
indeed
turned
to
the
Teachings
of
that
Light
of
God
in
thee
,
which
shows
thee
thy
Sin
and
Death
daily
,
and
calls
to
Repentance
and
Faith
,
see
clearly
that
the
Contradiction
lies
in
the
disobedient
Nature
within
in
thy self
,
as
in
all
others
without
Exception
,
of
what
form
or
way
of
Religion
(
so
called
)
whatsoever
,
that
are
disobedient
to
the
Light
:
But
,
dear
Heart
,
so
long
as
thou
judgest
of
Spiritual
things
in
thy
Natural
Reason
,
as
here
thou
dost
,
how
many
seeming
Contradictions
will
there
be
in
the
Writings
of
the
Holy
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
which
never
can
be
reconciled
to
that
fall'n
Wisdom
,
but
are
all
in
Unity
only
to
those
that
are
new
Born
in
God
,
from
before
whose
Eyes
the
Veil
is
done
away
in
Christ
,
who
is
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
and
the
Power
of
God
to
all
that
receive
him
in
Love
,
but
a
stumbling
Block
,
and
Rock
of
Offence
to
the
Jews
,
and
foolishness
to
the
Greeks
,
who
stumble
and
are
offended
at
the
stumbling
Stone
(
the
Light
within
)
through
Disobedience
,
as
saith
the
Scripture
:
And
therefore
here
will
be
thy
Wisdom
,
even
to
cease
from
Man
,
whose
Breath
is
in
his
Nostrils
,
and
all
the
Wisdom
of
his
Words
and
Teachings
which
are
without
,
and
which
stand
in
the
Will
of
Man
;
and
as
was
said
before
,
to
hearken
to
the
alone
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
the
Light
wherewith
Christ
hath
enlightned
thee
within
,
which
stand
in
a
daily
cross
to
thy
own
Will
and
Reason
and
of
all
Men
,
and
cast
off
every
weight
and
burden
of
Sin
that
hinders
thy
Soul
from
running
the
ways
of
God's
Commandments
,
as
in
that
Light
they
are
discovered
to
thee
;
and
so
the
Beam
being
removed
out
of
thy
Eye
,
and
Judgment
brought
forth
into
Victory
in
thee
,
thou
wilt
see
clearly
into
the
Mystery
of
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
which
yet
truly
,
the
Veil
of
dark
Flesh
being
unremoved
in
thee
,
hinders
that
thou
canst
not
;
and
therefore
in
the
Fear
of
God
,
sink
down
into
the
deepest
Humility
,
and
willingly
become
a
Fool
,
that
thou
may'st
be
wise
;
for
to
Repentance
thou
must
come
,
which
yet
thou
hast
not
come
unto
,
before
thou
enter
the
Kingdom
;
to
that
in
thy
Conscience
do
I
speak
,
which
will
show
thee
this
to
be
true
,
hearkening
to
it
,
though
the
Enemy
at
present
in
thee
,
it
seems
,
whispers
otherwise
.
Oh!
the
Serpent
is
more
subtil
than
any
Beast
of
the
Field
,
and
hath
deceived
the
whole
Generation
of
the
first
Man
,
and
doth
,
and
therefore
his
Head
being
not
yet
bruised
in
thee
,
causeth
thee
to
cover
,
but
not
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
and
so
the
Woe
will
meet
thee
,
till
his
Head
be
bruised
in
thee
by
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
,
which
way
soever
thou
turn
thy self
.
Therefore
must
thou
pass
a
strait
Gate
,
as
all
the
Children
of
God
have
and
do
,
before
thou
come
to
Feed
on
the
Tree
of
Life
;
even
the
fiery
flaming
Sword
must
thou
pass
,
which
is
in
the
Hand
of
a
Cherubin
,
which
yet
thou
hast
not
passed
,
and
therefore
thy
own
Life
and
Strength
yet
remain
,
which
yet
must
go
,
or
thy
Soul
Perishes
for
ever
;
for
that
Sword
must
cut
down
the
Subtilty
,
that
that
which
hath
led
out
from
God
may
not
lead
to
God
;
for
it
cannot
,
but
the
Simplicity
(
through
the
destruction
of
the
subtile
Serpentine
Wisdom
)
must
enter
,
which
breathes
after
God
to
do
his
Will
,
that
must
enter
by
Jesus
Christ
.
And
for
that
thou
presses
the
necessity
of
a
search
,
by
what
Spirit
I
was
acted
in
Writing
,
and
that
because
,
as
thou
say'st
,
these
are
Times
of
strong
Delusion
,
wherein
Multitudes
are
Captivated
,
&c.
Thou
may'st
know
,
that
though
it
be
true
,
that
many
are
Captivated
by
Satan
now
,
as
at
other
times
,
and
strongly
deluded
,
yet
neither
in
these
Times
,
nor
any
other
,
were
any
Captivated
in
those
Delusions
,
but
such
only
as
received
not
the
Truth
in
the
Love
of
it
,
but
have
Pleasure
in
Unrighteousness
,
even
such
as
turn
the
Truth
of
God
into
a
Lye
,
and
holding
it
in
Unrighteousness
,
becoming
vain
in
their
Imaginations
,
worshipping
and
serving
the
Creature
more
than
the
Creator
.
And
such
God
in
Justice
doth
indeed
give
up
to
believe
a
Lye
,
and
to
be
strongly
deluded
by
thinking
themselves
to
be
of
God
,
and
Christians
,
when
old
things
are
not
passed
away
from
them
,
much
less
all
things
become
new
;
and
such
are
they
also
that
the
God
of
the
World
hath
blinded
the
Minds
of
such
who
are
minding
Earthly
Things
,
who
live
in
the
Lust
of
Uncleanness
,
turning
the
Grace
of
God
into
Wantonness
,
having
indeed
a
form
of
Godliness
,
but
denying
the
Power
,
the
daily
Cross
,
loving
the
Friendship
of
this
perishing
Evil
World
,
and
the
things
thereof
,
as
the
Lust
of
the
Eye
,
the
Lust
of
the
Flesh
,
and
the
Pride
of
Life
,
making
it
hereby
manifest
,
they
know
not
the
true
God
in
his
Power
and
his
Purity
within
them
,
but
Worship
they
know
not
what
,
a
God
at
a
distance
,
far
away
from
them
,
and
a
Christ
by
hear-say
.
And
now
,
Friend
,
consider
seriously
,
and
lay
these
things
to
Heart
;
for
to
thy
Conscience
,
in
the
sight
of
God
,
I
speak
,
Dost
not
thou
love
the
things
of
this
World
?
Art
thou
in
Soul
indeed
seperate
from
them
?
Dost
thou
not
love
Fineness
in
Apparel
,
Fineness
in
Dwelling
,
Fineness
in
Meat
and
Drink
,
Fineness
in
Speech
,
and
Conformity
to
the
World
in
their
vain
Fashions
and
Customs
in
many
other
things
?
I
say
unto
thee
in
tender
Love
,
God
is
no
respecter
of
Persons
,
and
dost
thou
respect
Persons
!
Art
not
thou
more
afraid
to
Offend
some
than
others
,
and
more
careful
to
please
some
than
others
,
and
that
because
of
the
Person
?
Friend
,
let
me
speak
plainly
to
thee
,
hath
not
thy
fear
of
displeasing
thy
Carnal
Relations
,
now
at
Hipswell
,
been
a
cause
of
thy
strangeness
to
us
;
I
know
it
is
not
altogether
(
as
thou
writest
that
)
because
thou
thinks
us
deluded
,
that
thou
art
so
estranged
from
our
Fellowship
,
which
once
thou
seemed
to
Love
,
but
some
other
thing
;
the
Light
in
thy
Conscience
will
let
thee
see
what
it
is
:
Ah!
the
Cross
,
the
Cross
thou
must
bear
,
if
thou
should'st
now
own
us
,
will
be
,
I
fear
,
found
in
the
Matter
,
though
I
know
it
will
be
heard
to
confess
it
,
if
thou
hearken
to
the
Serpent
,
and
not
to
the
pure
voice
the
Light
of
God
in
thy
Conscience
.
Dear
Heart
,
consider
it
is
not
every
one
that
saith
Lord
,
Lord
,
shall
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
and
thou
wilt
,
I
know
,
acknowledge
,
but
those
only
that
do
the
Will
of
the
Heavenly
Father
,
which
is
Perfect
and
Holy
;
and
though
thou
look
at
it
now
as
something
harsh
to
be
told
of
Dissembling
with
the
Lord
within
,
yet
I
know
through
the
Revelation
of
Jesus
Christ
in
me
,
if
ever
thou
come
to
see
in
Truth
the
deep
Deceitfulness
of
the
Heart
of
Man
,
thou
wilt
see
a
dissembling
Nature
lie
lurking
within
thee
under
many
Vails
,
which
now
thou
seest
not
,
and
though
thou
say
now
,
Lord
let
thy
Kingdom
come
,
thy
Will
be
done
in
Earth
as
it
is
in
Heaven
,
yet
then
when
God
comes
to
set
up
his
Kingdom
in
thee
,
and
so
to
advance
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
in
thee
,
in
the
destruction
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
,
and
of
all
thy
own
Wisdom
,
Glory
,
and
Idols
,
and
so
to
do
his
Will
in
thy
Earthly
Heart
,
in
shaking
its
Foundations
,
and
burning
it
up
with
the
Increase
thereof
,
thou
wilt
find
something
in
thee
strongly
Gainsaying
;
yea
,
even
Fighting
and
Opposing
to
Death
,
which
yet
thou
art
not
acquainted
with
,
and
secretly
wishing
,
that
the
way
were
not
so
narrow
,
but
that
thy
Ishmael
might
live
before
him
,
how
much
more
in
the
swelling
of
Jordan
will
it
be
hard
,
when
Isaac
is
called
for
also
;
but
thou
must
witness
a
forsaking
of
the
World
,
and
the
Religion
thereof
,
before
thou
see
thy
Isaac
Born
,
as
did
Abraham
the
forsaking
of
his
own
old
Country
,
and
the
rejection
of
his
fleshly
Begetting
,
his
Bond-Child
Ishmael
,
before
the
promised
Seed
appeared
;
now
if
thy
Ear
be
opened
,
thou
wilt
this
also
hear
.
And
for
so
many
being
besotted
with
the
lofty
Notions
and
Expressions
of
some
refined
Monks
thou
speaks
of
,
thou
had
dealt
Ingeniously
if
thou
hadst
told
wherein
either
I
,
or
others
with
whom
I
have
Fellowship
in
the
Gospel
of
the
dear
Son
of
God
,
are
found
Guilty
;
for
if
the
Scripture
Expressions
be
such
,
we
cannot
deny
them
,
though
a
Monk
should
say
the
same
;
but
I
know
thou
canst
not
,
from
any
sound
Ground
in
thy self
,
believe
that
we
have
Intimacy
with
such
as
are
called
Monks
,
but
thou
art
cousened
into
this
Conceit
by
the
false
Reports
of
the
envious
and
blind
World
,
who
do
what
they
can
to
hinder
the
pure
Truths
progress
,
as
they
ever
did
by
all
means
possible
,
together
with
what
thy
own
misapprehension
of
us
hath
suggested
to
thee
.
But
herein
is
our
Joy
,
that
Men
speak
all
manner
of
Evil
of
us
falsly
,
for
the
Names
sake
of
Jesus
Christ
,
whom
alone
,
through
Grace
we
own
for
our
Saviour
and
Guide
,
and
not
another
;
and
therefore
it
is
that
the
World
hates
us
because
we
cannot
follow
them
in
their
Obedience
to
the
Spirit
of
this
World
,
as
they
do
.
And
therefore
,
as
I
said
before
,
so
in
love
I
advise
thee
again
,
not
to
trust
in
that
vain
Religion
,
that
thou
art
yet
unseperated
from
,
which
stands
in
outward
Observations
,
which
hath
not
so
much
as
a
promise
of
Perfection
in
it
,
where
there
is
yet
,
lo
here
,
and
lo
there
is
Christ
,
where
there
is
a
Temple
made
with
Hands
,
and
a
mention
of
Sins
untaken
away
continually
,
as
in
the
time
of
Moses's
Law
,
which
was
a
shadow
for
a
time
,
and
could
make
nothing
perfect
,
seeing
perfection
was
to
be
brought
to
Light
in
Jesus
Christ
,
the
substance
of
all
Shadows
,
Types
,
and
Figures
:
And
they
that
were
Preachers
of
the
Gospel
preached
Perfection
in
him
;
And
where
Christ
the
Substance
,
the
Lamb
of
God
was
manifested
in
any
,
it
was
for
the
taking
away
of
Sin
and
perfecting
in
Holiness
,
and
so
they
could
direct
others
.
And
●rith
the
Scripture
,
Eph.
4
,
10
,
&c.
He
that
descended
is
the
same
also
that
ascended
far
above
all
Heavens
,
that
he
might
fill
all
things
,
and
he
gave
some
Apostles
,
some
Prophets
,
and
some
Evangelists
,
and
some
Pastors
and
Teachers
(
he
himself
gave
them
,
and
not
Men
)
for
the
perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
for
the
work
of
the
Ministry
,
for
the
edifying
the
Body
of
Christ
,
till
we
all
come
to
the
Vnity
of
the
Faith
,
and
the
knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God
unto
a
perfect
Man
,
unto
the
measure
of
the
stature
of
the
fulness
of
Christ
.
And
this
being
so
,
it
is
something
strange
thou
shouldst
so
far
forget
,
as
to
say
,
thou
knew
not
of
any
Text
,
in
the
whole
Book
of
God
,
which
doth
promise
to
the
People
of
God
Perfection
in
this
Life
.
For
though
as
in
Heb.
7.19
.
The
Law
(
which
stood
in
outward
Observations
)
made
nothing
perfect
,
yet
the
bringing
in
of
a
better
hope
(
which
hope
is
Christ
,
in
the
Saints
a
hope
of
Glory
)
did
,
by
which
they
draw
nigh
unto
God
;
Having
their
Hearts
sprinkled
from
an
evil
Conscience
,
and
their
Bodies
washed
with
pure
Water
,
Heb.
10.22
.
And
therefore
there
was
a
necessity
of
disanulling
of
the
Letter
Commandment
going
before
,
because
of
the
weakness
and
unprofitableness
of
it
,
as
in
the
18.
ver.
of
that
7.
cap.
And
so
Friend
,
the
reason
of
thine
,
and
all
the
World's
Imperfection
,
is
unbelief
and
disobedience
to
the
Spirits
teaching
within
,
whereby
the
Soul
is
kept
in
the
outward
Court
and
Temple
,
and
so
not
coming
through
the
Vail
,
the
Flesh
,
which
only
is
rent
in
the
Death
of
Christ
,
the
Holiest
of
all
is
not
come
into
,
where
there
is
Perfection
,
which
Perfection
indeed
is
not
known
in
the
Life
and
Glory
,
which
is
of
the
first
Man
,
which
stands
in
the
Law
of
a
carnal
Commandment
,
but
in
the
Power
of
an
endless
Life
,
without
begining
or
end
of
Days
;
which
also
if
thou
hast
an
Ear
thou
may'st
hear
,
and
the
Lord
give
thee
understanding
that
thy
Soul
may
live
,
and
not
remain
in
Death
,
for
the
Letter
Killeth
,
but
the
Spirit
gives
Life
.
And
for
my
own
Attainments
,
which
thou
calls
Imaginary
Transcendent
,
thou
knows
I
said
nothing
of
my self
in
particular
;
and
therefore
be
advised
to
beware
of
that
Spirit
that
pats
off
wholsome
Advice
by
evil
Judgings
and
Surmisings
concerning
the
Advisers
:
For
,
for
my
own
part
,
I
acknowledge
my self
to
have
nothing
of
my
own
to
boast
of
,
but
to
be
by
the
Grace
of
God
what
I
truly
am
,
and
that
Grace
is
my
Sufficiency
,
and
rejoyce
in
this
to
see
the
strength
of
Christ
perfected
in
my
Weakness
,
but
Wickedness
he
Destroys
,
and
will
not
allow
of
any
work
of
Iniquity
in
any
,
and
so
in
my
Condition
am
I
pressing
forward
to
the
Resurrection
from
the
Dead
,
through
the
daily
Death
;
and
though
I
have
not
fully
attained
,
yet
I
see
every
Gift
of
God
to
be
perfect
,
and
those
that
rest
in
Christ
,
rest
from
Sin
,
and
there
are
perfect
;
and
so
whom
the
Son
sets
free
are
free
indeed
from
Sin
,
and
that
where
Christ
is
received
,
there
is
Power
received
to
become
a
Child
of
God
,
and
there
the
work
of
the
Devil
is
destroyed
,
which
is
Sin
;
seeing
he
that
commits
Sin
is
not
born
of
God
,
but
is
a
Servant
of
Sin
,
and
so
a
Child
of
the
Devil
.
And
therefore
it
is
time
for
all
to
hast
out
of
the
Spiritual
Sodom
and
Egypt
of
Sin
and
separation
from
God
,
lest
the
Wrath
that
hangs
over
fall
on
,
and
there
being
no
Remedy
nor
Escape
.
And
for
that
thou
entreats
me
to
beware
of
the
confused
Notions
and
great
words
of
Jacob
Bewman
,
and
such
like
frothy
Scriblers
(
as
thou
in
disdain
art
pleas'd
to
term
them
)
who
thou
say'st
may
hereafter
prove
broken
Reeds
to
those
who
now
admire
them
;
thou
may'st
know
,
that
those
who
follow
the
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
,
wherewith
he
hath
enlightned
them
in
Spirit
,
which
leads
them
orderly
up
out
of
the
fall'n
Estate
of
Sin
and
Separation
from
God
into
the
Kingdom
of
perfect
Righteousness
and
Fellowship
with
himself
,
and
lean
not
to
any
Man
that
can
Deceive
,
but
have
all
one
Master
and
Teacher
,
which
is
Christ
;
in
them
all
the
Head
,
and
they
need
not
that
any
Man
teach
them
,
but
as
the
Anointing
leads
them
they
are
safe
,
and
this
the
Scripture
witnesseth
.
And
by
the
Holy
Anointing
in
them
;
as
also
saith
the
Scripture
,
they
try
all
things
,
both
Men
and
Writings
,
Words
and
Works
,
and
do
separate
the
Precious
from
the
Vile
,
and
know
therein
what
to
chuse
,
what
to
refuse
,
as
the
Mouth
tryeth
Meat
,
and
yet
are
not
Wise
,
as
Men
count
Wisdom
,
but
Fools
to
the
World
,
and
their
Wisdom
is
in
their
Head
,
hid
from
the
World
,
which
is
Christ
the
Mystery
,
their
Eye
,
and
so
the
truly
wise
Man's
Eye
is
in
his
Head
,
and
so
their
Guide
and
Teacher
is
not
Men
or
Means
(
as
they
are
called
)
without
them
,
but
their
Teacher
is
within
in
the
midst
of
them
,
and
not
removed
into
a
Corner
;
and
if
any
speak
not
according
to
that
Word
within
,
it
is
because
they
have
no
Movings
in
them
.
And
if
thou
be'st
humble-minded
indeed
thou
wilt
in
Self-denial
,
bearing
a
daily
Cross
to
thy
own
Will
and
Wisdom
,
wait
with
these
simple
Children
and
Babes
of
God
in
silence
of
Spirit
to
hear
what
the
Spirit
and
Light
of
Christ
it self
alone
,
and
not
another
speaks
within
thee
;
and
this
thou
wilt
find
to
be
a
straiter
way
than
ever
yet
thou
walked
in
when
thy
Mind
must
be
kept
in
the
Cross
,
and
not
have
liberty
to
feed
upon
any
visible
or
audible
created
Word
,
Writing
,
or
Thing
,
but
only
upon
the
pure
,
immortal
,
and
increated
eternal
Word
of
God
within
;
then
will
the
Serpent
Rage
,
and
the
earthly
Mind
Famish
,
when
it
can
come
by
no
earthly
Food
.
And
for
thy
light
Expressions
of
Jacob
Bewman
,
(
the
rest
thou
names
not
,
and
so
I
can
say
nothing
punctually
of
them
)
I
know
in
most
things
he
speaks
a
Parable
to
thee
yet
,
and
so
his
Writings
may
well
be
lightly
esteemed
of
by
thee
;
but
there
is
that
in
his
Writings
which
,
if
ever
thy
Eye
be
opened
,
will
appear
to
be
a
sweet
unfolding
of
the
Mystery
of
God
,
and
of
Christ
,
in
divers
particulars
,
according
to
his
Gift
.
And
therefore
beware
of
speaking
Evil
of
that
which
thou
know'st
not
,
lest
thou
come
under
Judas
Reproof
.
But
,
dear
Heart
,
thy
poor
Soul
not
yet
freed
,
as
I
said
before
,
from
the
guidance
of
Self-Wisdom
,
thou
travelest
in
a
Satisfaction
with
that
which
therein
only
thou
canst
comprehend
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
therein
also
takes
upon
thee
to
judge
that
which
is
beyond
it
,
which
is
very
dangerous
;
but
if
Christ
and
his
Kingdom
were
so
known
,
it
were
no
Mystery
.
And
for
that
thou
questions
what
I
mean
by
my
exhorting
thee
to
come
up
to
the
Feast
of
Tabernacles
;
if
thou
know'st
the
Scriptures
which
thou
readest
,
thou
may'st
see
what
it
is
to
come
up
to
the
Feast
of
Tabernacles
,
it
is
not
to
come
up
to
any
Man's
Tenets
or
painted
Novelties
(
as
thou
too
scornfully
miscallest
the
Truth
,
we
in
our
measure
desire
to
walk
in
)
but
it
is
to
keep
a
Feast
with
the
Israel
of
God
in
the
Wilderness
,
as
tho'
come
out
of
Egypt
into
the
Travel
and
Warfare
towards
the
Promised
Land
,
having
not
for
the
present
a
City
to
dwell
in
,
and
so
to
be
separate
from
thy
first
Mother's
Womb
,
which
is
from
below
,
and
is
in
Bondage
with
her
Children
,
that
thy
feeding
may
be
upon
the
Heavenly
it self
,
which
yet
is
a
Mystery
to
thee
,
and
all
who
cannot
witness
an
Implantation
together
into
the
likeness
of
the
Death
and
Resurrection
of
Jesus
Christ
;
if
thy
Ear
be
open
thou
wilt
hear
.
And
for
that
Scripture
in
the
7th
of
Matth.
thou
concludes
with
,
thou
may'st
know
that
it
doth
not
forbid
the
Judgment
of
the
Spirit
of
Truth
in
any
;
but
it
truly
and
plainly
shows
to
the
Pharisee
and
Hypocrite
his
own
Condemnation
,
who
judgeth
that
in
another
which
he
is
guilty
of
in
himself
much
more
.
And
therefore
every
one
is
to
wait
to
see
the
Beam
cast
out
of
their
own
Eye
,
and
so
Judgment
brought
forth
into
Victory
in
the
particular
,
and
so
the
true
Spirit
of
Judgment
set
up
in
the
Heart
in
particular
,
true
Judgment
,
according
to
every
Spiritual
Man's
measure
,
goes
rightly
forth
upon
the
general
,
so
as
Christ
there
saith
,
there
is
so
,
a
clear
seeing
how
to
cast
out
the
Mote
out
of
the
Brother's
Eye
,
the
Beam
removed
out
of
ones
own
.
And
now
,
Friend
,
if
I
should
seem
tedious
to
thee
,
consider
it
is
my
Love
and
desire
of
thy
Souls
Information
,
that
if
possible
thou
may'st
be
delivered
from
every
Snare
to
serve
the
Lord
in
the
truth
of
Spirit
,
being
taught
of
and
guided
by
that
Light
wherewith
Christ
hath
enlightned
thee
,
lest
otherwise
it
be
thy
Condemnation
,
as
it
is
,
and
ever
hath
been
to
all
the
Children
of
Disobedience
.
So
rests
thy
poor
Soul's
continuing
Friend
,
Rich.

Thomas
Taylor

To
the
Presbyterians
so
called
.
WO
to
the
Teachers
of
the
People
,
who
daub
with
untempered
Mortar
,
and
cry
,
Peace
,
Peace
,
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
Peace
,
for
the
Lord
speaks
Peace
to
none
in
their
Sins
,
but
they
teach
for
Doctrine
,
That
none
can
live
without
Sin
whilst
on
this
side
the
Grave
,
and
so
they
Minister
for
Antichrist
the
Man
of
Sin
,
and
not
for
Christ
who
is
without
Sin
.
God's
Righteousness
,
and
he
that
is
born
of
Christ
,
sinneth
not
,
for
the
Heavenly
Holy
Father
of
the
unspotted
Generation
of
the
Righteous
is
he
;
And
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
such
as
abide
in
Christ
:
The
Root
is
Holy
and
so
is
the
Branches
,
but
the
Old
Adam
,
or
Fallen
Man
,
is
not
so
,
nor
his
Children
,
for
the
Root
being
Corrupt
,
the
Branches
must
needs
be
so
;
and
so
they
that
are
in
the
Flesh
cannot
please
God
,
but
they
who
love
the
Light
,
Christ
Jesus
,
and
walk
in
him
,
please
God
,
for
this
is
my
beloved
Son
in
whom
I
am
well
pleased
;
Hear
him
,
saith
God
,
and
know
ye
not
that
Christ
is
in
you
except
ye
be
Reprobates
.
So
the
Voice
of
Christ
the
living
Word
,
(
is
to
be
heard
and
waited
in
)
which
is
nigh
in
the
Heart
,
and
the
pure
in
Heart
walk
in
the
Light
of
his
Holy
City
;
and
to
such
there
is
no
occasion
of
Stumbling
;
but
such
as
walk
in
the
Darkness
of
their
own
Imaginations
,
stumble
and
fall
into
the
Pit
of
Sin
and
Condemnation
:
But
to
such
as
are
in
Christ
Jesus
the
Sinless
Man
,
to
them
there
is
no
Condemnation
;
for
by
his
Spirit
are
they
led
and
preserved
out
of
Sin
,
which
is
the
cause
of
Condemnation
,
and
come
to
witness
Justification
through
his
Blood
;
for
if
we
walk
in
the
Light
,
as
he
is
in
the
Light
then
have
we
Fellowship
one
with
another
,
and
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
cleanseth
us
from
all
Sin
.
How
beautiful
is
the
way
of
the
Just
,
they
do
not
Iniquity
that
walk
in
God's
undefiled
way
,
the
Light
,
for
by
the
Light
are
they
led
out
of
Sin
and
Evil
,
and
so
come
through
the
true
Door
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
into
the
Sheep-fold
,
which
is
the
strait
and
narrow
way
indeed
,
for
whosoever
walketh
in
Christ
,
and
holdeth
forth
his
Life
before
Men
,
shall
be
hated
of
all
Men
for
his
Name
and
Lifes
sake
;
for
it
is
a
Cross
to
all
the
World
,
who
are
in
their
own
Wills
,
doing
the
Will
of
the
Flesh
,
which
is
Enmity
to
God
.
And
so
Wo
to
the
Climbers
over
the
Door
,
who
are
gotten
into
a
Prosession
of
Christ
,
without
his
Cross
,
without
the
Lord's
Law
,
which
is
Spiritual
,
without
the
knowledge
of
that
Flaming
Sword
to
cut
down
the
Man
of
Sin
,
that
in
the
Birth
which
is
Holy
,
one
may
come
to
the
Tree
of
Life
which
is
in
the
midst
of
the
Garden
:
O
ye
People
,
harken
a
while
,
who
have
been
feeding
upon
the
Tree
of
Knowledge
,
and
never
came
through
God's
Judgments
,
the
Flaming
Sword
,
to
the
Tree
of
Life
,
your
Food
is
Death
,
your
Works
will
burn
,
and
your
Fig-leaf
Covers
will
fall
off
,
and
you
be
left
naked
and
bare
to
the
Shame
of
your
Nakedness
,
as
in
the
day
that
you
were
born
;
For
what
is
any
Covering
worth
,
unless
it
be
that
of
the
Spirit
of
Christ
?
The
Lord
God
,
who
is
of
purer
Eyes
than
to
behold
Iniquity
,
will
bring
your
Deeds
to
the
Light
of
his
Judgment
,
and
before
him
will
nothing
stand
but
that
which
is
pure
;
your
defiled
Preachings
,
Prayings
,
Singings
,
Hearings
,
Readings
,
will
all
be
rejected
and
cast
out
as
Dung
,
from
the
Presence
of
the
pure
holy
God
that
consuming
Fire
.
You
have
multiplied
Words
without
Knowledge
,
you
have
not
been
,
neither
yet
are
ye
,
Doers
of
God's
Will
(
to
God's
Witness
in
your
Consciences
I
speak
)
therefore
in
vain
do
you
say
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
and
he
will
not
hold
them
Guiltless
that
take
his
Name
in
vain
:
Your
Garment
is
not
of
the
pure
white
Linnen
,
which
is
the
Saints
Righteousness
,
but
Linnen
and
Woollen
is
your
Covering
,
the
Linsey woolsey
Garment
,
a
thing
forbidden
by
God's
Law
:
Your
Field
is
not
sown
with
the
one
Heavenly
kind
of
Grain
,
the
good
Wheat
,
but
another
Seed
have
you
mingled
with
it
,
and
the
Mixture
is
so
great
,
that
the
Earthly
hath
almost
covered
and
quite
choaked
the
Heavenly
in
you
.
If
you
will
work
,
you
must
into
God's
Vineyard
,
and
be
exceeding
Diligent
and
Laborious
in
plucking
up
the
Weeds
by
the
Roots
in
you
,
the
Light
of
Christ
in
the
Conscience
waiting
in
it
,
will
give
the
Understanding
.
But
Wo
will
be
to
them
that
call
Light
Darkness
,
and
put
Darkness
for
Light
,
and
so
suffer
the
Good
in
them
to
wither
,
and
nourish
the
bad
part
,
which
is
like
the
Grave
that
never
hath
enough
,
always
Learning
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
But
both
Teachers
and
Hearers
all
in
Sin
,
and
laden
with
divers
Lusts
all
their
Lives
long
:
And
Wo
to
the
Fleshly
and
Selfish
Workers
on
this
Holy
Sabbath
day
of
the
Lord
,
wherein
he
hath
given
his
People
Rest
from
all
their
weary
Labours
and
Burdens
.
The
outward
day
,
the
First
day
of
the
Week
,
shall
not
cover
you
,
nor
be
a
Sabbath
to
you
,
but
in
the
Breach
of
God's
Holy
and
everlasting
Sabbath
you
being
found
,
you
must
bear
his
Judgment
:
And
you
feed
upon
the
airy
.
Words
of
Man's
Wisdom
,
raised
up
by
the
Crafty
Spirit
to
please
the
Itching
Ears
of
Fallen
Man
,
and
whose
Faith
stands
in
the
Wisdom
of
these
Words
,
and
not
in
the
Power
of
God
;
a
day
of
Scattering
cometh
upon
you
,
it
cometh
,
and
a
grievous
Whirlwind
from
the
Lord
;
and
though
a
Famine
of
the
Word
of
the
Lord
is
upon
you
already
,
yet
you
will
not
know
it
,
nor
he
humbled
for
it
;
but
the
pleasant
Breasts
of
Mystery
Babylon
,
which
you
so
much
delight
in
,
will
be
dried
up
,
that
you
will
get
no
Suck
nor
Food
for
that
unsatiable
Mind
in
you
,
that
is
like
the
Grave
that
can
never
have
enough
,
always
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
which
sets
free
from
Sin
;
and
the
Songs
of
your
Temple
shall
be
Howlings
in
that
Day
,
because
of
the
Vine
of
Sodom
,
that
will
bear
no
more
Grapes
;
for
all
the
Earth
hath
drunk
so
deep
of
the
Wine
of
the
Fornication
of
the
great
Whore
,
that
the
Nations
are
Mad
against
the
Appearance
of
the
Lamb
,
who
is
arisen
to
set
up
his
Kingdom
over
all
;
for
the
Lamb
must
have
the
Victory
,
and
Reign
;
so
be
it
for
Evermore
.
And
you
that
talk
so
boastingly
of
your
Faith
,
and
Suffering
Mind
,
you
know
not
what
Spirit
you
are
of
;
for
the
same
Mind
that
you
think
to
suffer
in
,
is
it
which
hath
formerly
caused
Sufferings
to
the
Righteous
,
and
would
do
the
like
at
this
Day
,
if
Power
were
in
your
Hands
;
and
so
if
you
could
give
your
Bodies
to
be
burnt
in
this
Uncharitable
and
Persecuting
Nature
,
it
would
profit
you
nothing
at
all
.
Thomas
Taylor

To
the
Presbyterians
.
O
Ye
People
,
called
Presbyterians
,
you
have
fully
manifested
your selves
this
Day
to
be
of
the
Spirit
of
Cain
,
the
first
Persecutor
of
God's
Righteous
Seed
;
and
as
for
your
threatning
of
me
,
and
hawling
me
out
of
your
Synagogue
towards
the
Mayor
,
because
in
Obedience
to
God
I
came
to
speak
in
his
Name
,
to
let
you
see
your
Sins
,
and
to
warn
you
of
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
God
that
will
certainly
come
upon
you
for
them
,
if
you
speedily
Repent
not
,
and
humble
your selves
for
all
your
Pride
,
and
Hypocrisies
,
and
false
Accusations
,
and
Persecutions
of
the
Righteous
Seed
of
God
,
which
he
hath
raised
up
this
Day
in
the
Earth
,
to
witness
for
him
against
all
the
false
ways
of
fain
Man
,
that
so
all
may
come
to
the
Power
Christ
Jesus
,
to
know
him
in
them
to
be
their
Light
,
and
Life
,
and
alone
Teacher
to
Salvation
:
And
this
is
my
Witness
for
God
this
Day
,
that
except
you
come
hither
,
you
will
never
be
Established
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
But
what
are
you
grown
so
high
already
,
that
one
must
not
come
amongst
you
,
though
in
never
so
peaceable
a
manner
,
to
speak
a
word
,
though
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
?
This
is
not
only
contrary
to
the
Order
of
the
true
Church
in
the
Apostles
Days
,
but
also
contrary
to
the
King
's
Late
Declaration
,
which
saith
,
That
the
Places
of
Toleration
must
stand
open
for
all
to
come
into
.
But
this
Persecuting
Spirit
is
but
the
same
that
hath
been
in
you
of
Old
,
notwithstanding
all
that
hath
come
upon
you
in
these
Late
Days
.
To
the
Blind
Teachers
.
WO
to
the
Teachers
that
have
Eyes
,
and
see
not
,
Ears
,
and
hear
not
,
and
Hearts
that
will
not
understand
,
who
can
put
no
difference
betwixt
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
,
but
give
the
things
they
account
Holy
,
to
the
manifest
Unholy
,
Wicked
and
Prophane
,
and
so
dishonour
the
Lord
,
and
deceive
the
Souls
of
the
People
;
and
so
they
not
discerning
the
Lord's
Body
,
nor
the
Members
thereof
,
which
are
holy
;
they
speak
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
who
are
Members
of
the
Wicked
One
;
for
his
Servants
,
and
Members
,
People
are
to
whom
they
do
Obey
;
so
Wo
is
to
this
present
evil
and
wicked
World
,
who
in
words
profess
Christ
,
but
in
their
deeds
do
grievously
dishonour
him
;
the
Day
hastneth
wherein
the
Scripture
must
be
fulfilled
upon
you
,
who
will
not
that
Christ
should
Reign
,
rests
a
Mourner
in
Zion
for
all
the
Abominations
that
are
done
amongst
you
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
For
the
great
People
of
the
Earth
,
who
love
the
Pleasures
of
Sin
,
these
.
TO
you
that
are
great
in
the
Earth
,
and
in
the
Glory
of
the
World
exalted
,
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
is
to
you
come
down
,
come
down
to
the
Light
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
in
your
Consciences
which
shows
you
Sin
and
Evil
,
and
it
will
let
you
see
how
you
have
spent
your
time
,
and
how
your
Hearts
are
taken
up
with
the
Love
of
the
World
,
and
the
Lusts
thereof
,
that
the
one
thing
necessary
is
not
so
minded
by
you
,
as
the
worth
of
your
Precious
Souls
requires
,
but
you
eat
and
drink
,
and
sport
your selves
with
the
Pleasures
of
Sin
,
and
feed
your
minds
with
the
vain
Delights
thereof
,
so
fat
and
so
full
of
Self
love
are
you
,
that
there
is
no
place
empty
for
Christ
in
you
,
wherein
to
lodge
,
or
whereon
to
lay
his
Head
,
but
as
a
Stranger
in
you
,
and
in
your
Families
,
is
the
pure
Son
of
God
found
,
and
an
empty
Profession
of
him
that
is
heavenly
in
your
earthly
Minds
,
is
all
the
Food
that
he
can
find
amongst
you
:
Alas
!
Alas
!
For
you
poor
Careless
People
,
what
will
ye
do
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
when
an
Account
is
required
of
you
of
all
that
ever
hath
been
done
in
your
Body
?
Is
not
Christ
a
Stranger
amongst
you
,
and
not
taken
in
,
Sick
,
and
in
Prison
,
and
ye
visit
him
not
?
Read
within
.
Oh
how
often
hath
the
Lord
knocked
at
your
Door
?
and
he
is
not
yet
in
Love
entertained
in
,
the
Heart
's
full
of
other
Lovers
,
he
cannot
Sup
there
with
you
,
and
so
you
Sup
not
with
him
,
but
you
eat
your
own
Supper
,
and
prefers
that
before
his
,
and
so
discerns
not
the
Lord's
Body
,
and
so
Condemnation
is
near
.
Do
you
not
?
(
to
that
in
your
Conscience
I
speak
)
Do
you
not
,
I
say
,
sit
down
to
eat
and
drink
,
and
rise
up
to
play
?
Is
not
all
Places
where
you
are
found
Witnesses
against
you
,
that
you
serve
not
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
but
your
own
vain
Minds
,
and
perishing
Lusts
rather
?
Doth
not
your
Houses
,
your
Diet
,
your
Changeable
Suits
of
Apparel
,
and
your
daily
New
Fashions
,
with
your
manner
of
going
abroad
,
whether
upon
Horse
,
or
in
Coach
,
and
your
many
unnecessary
Attendants
,
and
their
Attire
,
show
you
to
be
so
far
from
Christ's
Doctrine
,
and
out
of
his
Life
,
that
scarce
any
thing
of
the
true
Christianity
is
to
be
found
amongst
you
:
For
where
is
the
daily
Cross
to
your
Wills
and
Lusts
taken
up
by
you
?
Or
where
is
the
Crucifying
of
the
World
to
you
,
and
you
to
the
World
,
witnessed
amongst
you
?
Or
any
such
thing
as
the
pure
Worship
of
God
,
which
stands
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
wherein
he
only
delights
?
But
this
poor
Soul
doth
mostly
satisfie
you
,
(
to
wit
)
to
get
a
Carnal
Man
who
loves
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
,
to
say
over
a
few
devised
words
,
(
or
so
)
which
he
calls
Praying
,
and
Preaching
to
please
your
itching
Ears
,
but
neither
he
nor
you
doing
the
things
which
Christ
Commands
you
;
nor
do
you
live
the
Life
of
what
in
words
you
profess
,
and
so
to
your
other
Sins
you
add
that
great
Sin
of
Hypocrisie
,
which
is
in
words
to
profess
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
but
in
deeds
to
deny
it
:
But
better
it
were
for
you
all
to
mind
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
to
consider
what
end
the
Lord
made
you
for
,
and
not
to
pass
away
your
precious
time
so
,
without
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
in
your
Careless
Minds
,
as
you
do
;
for
this
you
should
know
,
that
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
who
respects
no
Man's
Person
will
not
be
mocked
,
neither
can
the
respecters
of
Persons
who
love
the
Praise
of
Men
,
and
seek
the
Worlds
Glory
live
with
him
;
for
such
are
Unbelievers
,
as
receive
Honour
one
of
another
,
and
seek
not
that
Honour
that
comes
from
God
only
.
See
John
5.
toward
the
end
:
And
now
that
you
have
time
prize
it
,
and
lay
aside
your
vain
Thoughts
a
little
,
and
in
the
cool
of
your
Minds
consider
,
and
let
that
of
God
in
your
Consciences
speak
,
if
it
be
not
the
greatest
Folly
in
the
World
,
to
Gain
the
Lusts
of
the
World
with
the
Loss
of
your
Precious
Souls
.
And
are
you
not
in
great
danger
of
being
found
in
this
state
,
so
long
as
the
true
Prophet
Christ
Jesus
,
whom
God
hath
sent
a
Light
into
the
World
,
(
that
all
through
him
should
come
out
of
Sin
)
is
no
more
regarded
by
you
.
So
now
having
time
prize
it
,
and
know
this
Day
of
your
Visitation
,
and
what
indeed
belongs
unto
your
Eternal
Peace
.

Concerning
Bread
and
Wine
.
THE
Lord
Jesus
never
ordained
,
that
the
unbelieving
evil
World
should
eat
Bread
and
drink
Wine
in
remembrance
of
him
,
when
they
daily
deny
him
in
their
Life
and
Conversation
,
for
that
were
Abomination
.
Carry
such
an
Offering
to
the
Governour
,
and
see
if
he
will
accept
thee
;
will
he
be
pleased
with
thy
words
,
when
he
sees
thy
deeds
daily
contrary
to
his
Mind
and
Will
?
And
how
much
less
then
can
the
pure
God
accept
thee
or
thine
Offering
,
whilst
thou
only
in
thy
words
seems
for
him
,
but
in
the
whole
Course
of
thy
Life
art
directly
contrary
to
Him
and
his
Holiness
.
O
thou
that
art
in
the
state
of
Sin
and
Corruption
,
whose
Fruits
manifest
thy
Nature
and
Inside
to
be
evil
,
how
canst
thou
endure
the
Trial
of
this
Day
of
God
,
which
is
as
Fire
,
wherein
all
that
are
proud
and
do
wickedly
,
are
as
Stubble
to
be
burnt
up
Root
and
Branch
;
he
that
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
saith
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
The
Indignation
of
the
Lord
upon
all
Nations
.
THE
Indignation
of
the
Lord
is
upon
all
Nations
,
and
his
Fury
upon
all
their
Armies
;
he
shall
greatly
distress
the
Inhabitants
of
the
World
,
he
will
now
plead
the
Cause
of
his
Covenant
against
all
those
that
withstand
his
Glorious
Appearance
and
Work
of
Restoration
in
this
the
Day
of
his
Mighty
Power
,
wherein
he
is
Restoring
the
Kingdom
of
his
Everlasting
Peace
to
Israel's
Seed
under
the
whole
Heavens
,
who
fear
his
great
Name
,
and
tremble
at
his
Almighty
Word
of
Life
,
which
shakes
not
only
Earth
,
but
Heaven
also
.
And
now
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty
bringing
forth
his
Glory
to
light
,
and
Creating
the
New
Heavens
and
New
Earth
,
wherein
dwells
Righteousness
,
according
to
his
Promise
,
Isa.

beat
their
Swords
into

never
to
learn
War
any
more
;
but
every
one
now
that
believes
in
the
Truth
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Light
and
true
King
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
shall
sit
under
him
the
true
Vine

and
none
to
make
them
afraid

And
now

even
now
,
is
the
Lord
God

got
up
into
his
High
Throne
of
Majesty
and
Everlasting
Glory
to
Reign
,
and
of
this
his
Peaceable
Kingdom
which
he
hath
begun
to
set
up
in
his
Trembling
People
there
never
shall
be
end
:
The
true
Israel
of
God
is
now
coming
up
out
of
the
Spiritual
Egypt
indeed
,
to
possess
the
true
Land
of
Promise
,
the
Inheritance
and
Free
Gift
of
our
God
,
and
no
Inchantment
shall
now
stand
against
God's
Spiritual
Host
,
nor
Divination
against
the
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
,
who
have
known
his
Wonders
in
the
Deep
,
and
known
the
Out-goings
of
God's
Power
against
Pharaoh
,
and
all
his
Host
in
the
Red
Sea
of
his
Fiery
Indignation
.
And
now
will
God
be
exalted
in
Judgment
,
and
avenged
in
Righteousness
upon
all
Nations
and
People
under
Heaven
,
who
hold
the
Truth
in
Unrighteousness
,
and
will
not
that
God's
Holy
Son
,
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
,
should
Reign
,
though
he
be
come
to
Reign
and
Judge
in
the
Earth
:
For
to
him
the
Light
,
who
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the

is
all
Power
in
Heaven

his
Light
shines
freely

shineth
in
the
thickest
Darkness

making
manifest
the
Creator's
Will
to
all
your
Consciences
,
through
your
Darkness
,
tho'
People
comprehend
it
not
;
but
it
comprehends
you
,
and
all
your
dark
Ways
and
destroying
Thoughts
,
and
lets
you
see
plainly
,
that
for
all
your
great
Workings
,
and
toilsom
Labours
in
an
outside
Profession
in
your
earthly
Wills
,
you
have
wrought
no
Deliverance
in
the
Earth
,
but
your
Soul's
Enemies
still
stand
in
strength
;
and
it
lets
you
see
plainly
,
that
for
all
your
striving
,
and
sighting
,
and
killing
,
and
spoiling
,
and
destroying
one
another
about
earthly
things

you
have
done
no
good

all

brought
God's
Judgments
upon
all
your
Souls

pierced
your selves

And
therefore
the
Heavenly

his
Holy
Life

destroy
the
Body

in
the
Days

hath
filled

into
the
Thraldom

that
wicked
One

compassed
with
Terrours

Fears

Affrightments

your

by
your
sinful

unrighteous

unholy

and
cruel
doings
,
both
against
God

Neighbour

have
stirred
up
against

And
behold
the

languisheth

of
these
things

the
Children
of
Light
,
who
are
Redeemed
to
God
out
of
these
sore
Evils
,
and
grievous
Plagues
,
do
mourn
for
you
,
and
bewail
your
Misery
Night
and
Day
,
as
well
knowing
in
the
Light
of
the
Lord
,
what
your
woful
End
will
be
if
these
Briars
,
and
Thorns
,
and
noisom
Weeds
,
the
proper
Fruit
of
the
Curse
be
still
suffered
to
grow
in
you
,
and
cumber
God's
Ground
.
O
how
nigh
unto
Cursing
is
that
Field
which
God's
Rain
rains
upon
,
and
yet
brings
forth
no
better
Fruit
than
Killing
,
and
Slaying
,
and
Spoiling
,
and
Cousening
,
and
Cheating
,
and
Defiling
,
and
Oppressing
one
another
,
besides
Lving
,
and
Swearing
,
and
Cursing
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Pride
,
and
Persecution
of
God's
Righteous
Seed
,
with
all
other
Abominations
of
the
World
against
the
holy
Light
,
and
Checks
,
and
Reproofs
of
the
good
Spirit
of
the
Almighty
,
both
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
the
Mouth
of
God's
Servants
,
and
Holy
Witness
of
Truth
in
the
Scriptures
,
which
notwithstanding
all
these
their
Abominations
,
many
of
them
profess
to
be
their
Rule
:
But
know
,
O
Man
,
whosoever
thou
art
,
or
whatsoever
Profession
thou
art
of
that
that
's
thy
God
,
and
Ruler
,
and
Father
,
and
Teacher
,
and
Way
,
whose
Commands
thou
lovest
,
and
whose
Works
thou
doest
,
and
whose
Will
in
the
inward
of
thy
Mind
thou
closest
with
;
as
Christ
said
to
those
Liars
,
false
Accusers
and
Murtherers
in
his
Day
,
John
8.44
,
&c.
Ye
are
of
your
Father
the
Devil
,
for
his
Works
ye
will
do
,
he
was
a
Liar
and
a
Murtherer
from
the
beginning
;
so
thou
that
goes
from
the
Light
of
God
in
thee
,
which
shews
thee
thy
Sin
,
and
the
evil
Lustings
and
Desires
of
thy
Flesh
and
Mind
,
thou
goes
from
God
,
and
from
his
Fear
,
and
from
the
Way
of
Peace
,
and
so
thou
going
from
this
,
and
joining
to
evil
Motions
of
Sin
in
thy
Flesh
or
Corrupted
Mind
,
thou
joins
to
the
Devil
,
and
so
brings
forth
Sin
,
which
is
the
Devil's
Work
,
and
the
Wages
of
every
such
Work
is
Death
,
and
so
in
the
very
Moment
of
time
in
which
thou
dost
the
evil
Work
,
whatsoever
it
be
,
(
contrary
to
God's
Light
in
thee
)
thou
diest
the
Death
,
and
so
remainest
Dead
from
the
Life
of
God
,
and
his
Blessed
Righteousness
,
until
the
Day
of
true
Repentance
and
Amendment
of
Life
,
and
then
what
will
it
profit
thee
to
have
gained
the
World
,
or
Victory
over
thy
Neighbour
,
or
Satisfaction
to
thy
Lusts
in
the
Loss
of
thy
Soul's
Life
,
therefore
arise
,
arise
,
awake
,
awake
,
O
all
Nations
and
People
,
come
forth
to
the
Judgment
of
this
great
Day
of
God
Almighty
;
for
now
is
the
effect
of
every
Vision
to
be
known
and
felt
in
the
Earth
,
and
the
high
Towers
of
the
City
of
Confusion
,
the
Mystery
Babylon
,
the
Great
Whore
,
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
shall
fall
to
the
Ground
,
and
the
Mountain
of
the
House
of
the
Lord
shall
be
exalted
over
all
;
yea
,
the
Lord
alone
,
and
his
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
,
and
Peaceable
Kingdom
,
on
the
top
of
all
shall
stand
,
and
no
Weapon
formed
against
him
and
his
People
shall
ever
prosper
.
And
how
is
it
,
O
all
Nations
,
Kings
and
People
,
that
ye
are
not
yet
willing
,
after
so
many
Years
knocking
at
the
Gates
of
your
Cities
,
and
Doors
of
your
Hearts
,
that
you
will
not
open
to
the
King
of
Glory
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Light
that
lightneth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
that
he
may
come
in
,
and
be
Judge
,
and
Lawgiver
,
and
King
in
the
midst
of
you
,
that
the
Desire
of
all
Nations
may
come
,
and
be
Head
in
all
?
For
what
is
it
that
the
Soul
which
God
hath
made
in
all
Nations
doth
desire
,
but
to
see
it self
unburthened
of
that
grievous
Corruption
which
hath
defiled
it
,
and
to
be
delivered
from
that
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
,
which
hath
and
doth
so
Embondage
it
from
the
beginning
,
until
Christ's
Power
be
known
within
,
to
work
the
Work
of
God
,
and
to
destroy
the
Work
of
the
Devil
,
and
to
save
the
Soul
from
its
Sin
,
and
present
it
spotless
to
God
,
which
is
the
true
Salvation
indeed
.
Now
this
is
my
Witness
for
God
amongst
the
Servants
and
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
this
Day
,
whom
the
World
in
Scorn
call
Quakers
,
who
suffer
for
Righteousness
sake
,
That
there
is
none
that
can
thus
know
the
Day
of
Christ's
Power
to
Salvation
,
but
as
they
believe
and
receive
that
Light
of
God
and
Christ
which
they
be
freely
inlightned
withal
,
which
shines
in
their
very
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
which
searches
their
very
Hearts
and
Reins
,
and
makes
manifest
to
Man
his
Thoughts
,
and
from
which
none
can
hide
any
thing
,
but
all
things
are
naked
and
bare
before
him
the
Light
Christ
Jesus
,
who
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
Jew
and
Gentile
,
one
and
other
,
who
searcheth
the
most
hidden
things
of
Man
,
and
brings
them
forth
to
the
Judgment
of
his
Righteousness
;
for
though
the
Night
may
hide
the
Adulterer
and
the
Thief
from
Man
,
it
hides
them
not
from
God
,
there
is
one
nigh
in
the
Heart
and
Conscience
that
tells
Man
and
Woman
all
that
ever
they
have
done
,
and
do
daily
do
,
even
their
secret
Thoughts
;
is
not
this
the
Christ
of
God
,
the
true
Messiah
that
was
to
come
,
and
is
come
,
and
dwells
amongst
us
,
and
we
look
not
for
another
:
And
of
his
Fulness
have
all
we
received
,
and
do
daily
receive
,
who
believe
in
his
Light
,
which
shines
in
our
Hearts
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
:
And
this
the
Fulness
of
our
Blessed
God
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
the
Light
,
is
it
which
filleth
all
that
come
to
him
with
all
Spiritual
Blessings
,
and
Heavenly
Good
Things
;
and
without
whom
all
is
Darkness
,
Emptiness
,
Death
,
and
Desolation
,
as
all
the
poor
,
deceived
,
lost
Sons
and
Daughters
of
the
faln
Adam
do
sooner
or
later
know
,
and
are
made
to
confess
:
But
Blessed
are
they
that
consider
of
things
in
time
,
and
lay
things
to
Heart
before
it
be
too
late
;
for
there
are
but
Twelve
Hours
in
a
Day
in
which
Men
may
work
,
saith
Christ
,
and
then
the
Night
cometh
in
which
none
can
work
,
but
the
Door
will
be
shut
upon
all
who
have
slighted
and
neglected
the
Day
of
their
Visitation
.
O
England
,
England
,
and
all
Lands
far
and
near
,
that
you
had
known
,
or
could
yet
believe
the
things
that
belong
to
your
Everlasting
Peace
,
before
they
be
hid
from
your
Eyes
;
therefore
turn
ye
,
turn
ye
at
the
Reproofs
of
God's
Wisdom
and
Spirit
of
Light
and
Truth
,
which
sounds
through
all
,
and
lets
you
see
the
Vanity
and
Evil
of
all
your
Works
,
and
Frailty
of
all
your
Lives
,
how
soon
the
Thread
of
your
Life
is
cut
off
?
And
then
where
is
the
great
Emperors
and
Kings
with
all
their
Crowns
?
And
where
is
the
great
Captains
and
Commanders
with
all
their
Bloody
Victories
?
And
where
is
the
Wise
Achitophel's
,
and
Cunning
Counsellors
of
the
Earth
with
all
their
Admirers
?
And
where
is
the
Covetous
Oppressors
with
all
their
Houses
full
of
the
Spoils
of
the
Innocent
?
Yea
,
in
that
Day
,
where
is
all
the
Glory
and
Lusts
of
the
World
with
all
the
Lovers
of
it
?
Surely
in
Darkness
and
Misery
shall
they
lye
down
together
,
and
Death
shall
have
Dominion
over
them
,
even
all
who
have
not
believed
in
the
Light
Christ
Jesus
,
and
who
have
not
followed
him
in
the
Regeneration
that
they
may
be
saved
,
but
have
spent
their
Days
in
the
Pleasures
and
Lusts
of
the
present
evil
World
to
Destruction
.
Now
therefore
,
O
all
People
,
hearken
to
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
in
this
your
Day
,
and
learn
of
the
Lamb
,
the
Light
,
who
calls
you
to
Repentance
from
all
your
grievous
Ways
:
How
long
shall
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
strive
with
you
?
When
will
you
cease
learning
War
,
and
Destruction
,
and
Oppression
,
and
Spoil
?
O
when
will
you
beat
your
Swords
into
Plow-shares
,
and
your
Spears
into
Pruning-hooks
?
O
when
will
you
go
and
say
one
to
another
,
one
Neighbour
to
another
,
and
one
Nation
to
another
,
Come
let
us
all
be
humbled
before
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
who
made
us
all
of
one
Blood
to
dwell
together
upon
the
Face
of
the
Earth
in
Truth
,
Goodness
,
and
Love
,
to
serve
one
another
,
and
so
as
Branches
of
one
Tree
,
to
receive
Life
,
and
Vertue
,
and
Power
from
our
God
into
our
Souls
,
to
strengthen
us
unto
his
holy
Work
,
who
came
not
to
destroy
Mens
Lives
,
but
to
save
them
,
whose
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
and
therefore
is
not
set
up
or
maintained
with
Carnal
Weapons
,
Violence
and
Spoil
,
but
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
of
our
God
,
whose
Fruit
is
in
all
Goodness
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
;
and
let
not
the
wicked
Devil
,
the
Destroyer
,
deceive
us
any
more
,
by
his
Lies
and
Delusions
,
but
let
us
all
with
one
Heart
and
Soul
resist
his
Temptations
,
when
he
perswades
us
to
seek
to
be
great
in
the
Earth
,
and
be
avenged
on
them
we
count
our
Enemies
,
let
us
not
hearken
to
him
,
but
let
us
overcome
their
Evil
with
Goodness
,
and
not
to
seek
the
Destruction
of
their
Persons
,
or
Spoil
of
their
Estates
,
as
the
Heathen
do
,
that
know
not
God
,
but
let
us
follow
the
Example
of
Jesus
Christ
,
God
manifested
in
Flesh
,
who
when
he
was
reviled
,
reviled
not
again
,
but
pray'd
for
such
as
despitefully
used
him
.
O
come
let
us
follow
this
meek
Lamb
in
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
and
let
us
learn
of
him
in
our
Hearts
,
who
is
meek
and
lowly
,
that
we
may
find
rest
for
our
Souls
,
who
rebuked
his
Disciples
who
would
have
had
Fire
to
come
down
from
Heaven
to
destroy
the
Samaritans
,
who
would
not
at
that
time
receive
Christ
;
for
what
knowest
thou
,
O
Man
,
but
the
Samaritans
may
in
time
come
to
a
better
Mind
,
and
then
thou
wilt
see
it
was
thy
Will
,
and
not
God's
,
that
desired
their
Destruction
in
their
Sins
;
for
Christ
would
have
all
to
be
Saved
,
and
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
his
Truth
,
but
many
will
not
come
to
him
that
they
might
have
Life
,
and
so
their
Destruction
is
of
themselves
,
and
their
Condemnation
just
.
And
who
are
now
therefore
those
that
withstand
the
Doctrine
of
the
Truth
,
which
saith
,
Love
your
Enemies
,
and
seek
not
the
Destruction
of
their
Persons
and
Estates
,
but
seek
them
by
good
Doctrine
,
and
good
Life
,
to
bring
them
out
of
their
Sins
.
And
if
they
will
not
,
but
rather
hate
thee
for
thy
Good-will
;
be
content
thou
hast
quitted
thy
own
Soul
,
and
art
clear
of
their
Blood
,
and
so
thou
becomes
a
Sufferer
with
Jesus
Christ
,
and
shalt
Reign
with
him
in
due
time
:
I
say
,
who
are
these
now
on
the
Earth
that
are
against
the
good
Self-denying
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
continue
in
the
hateful
destroying
ways
of
the
old
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
but
such
as
will
not
be
counselled
by
the
Lamb
of
God
,
the
suffering
Seed
,
who
said
,
Learn
of
me
for
I
am
meek
and
lowly
of
Heart
,
but
ye
are
Men
of
corrupt
Minds
,
and
account
Gain
,
and
worldly
Honours
and
Promotions
,
more
than
Godliness
,
who
cry
Peace
,
Peace
to
themselves
in
their
Sins
.
And
that
same
Spirit
in
them
which
creates
that
false
Peace
in
them
,
is
the
same
that
stirs
them
up
to
kill
,
destroy
,
oppress
,
and
spoil
one
another
for
selfish
and
worldly
Ends
;
but
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
Judge
all
these
Evil
things
,
and
to
redeem
a
Seed
to
serve
him
,
as
in
the
beginning
of
the
Gospel
before
Antichrist
the
Murtherer
got
up
amongst
them
,
that
professed
Christ
in
Words
,
but
denied
him
in
Deeds
,
and
so
had
a
Name
that
they
lived
,
but
were
dead
from
that
true
Life
that
was
in
Christ
Jesus
,
whom
in
words
they
Professed
:
And
though
the
passage
we
feel
now
to
be
as
hard
of
coming
from
amongst
the
false
Christians
and
Turks
,
as
it
was
for
the
first
true
Christians
to
come
from
amongst
the
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
yet
the
Almighty
Power
of
our
God
is
able
,
over
all
,
and
through
all
,
to
carry
us
to
the
End
,
whom
he
hath
called
and
saved
with
a
mighty
Salvation
,
ever
praised
be
his
Name
,
and
who
will
yet
save
his
beloved
Seed
Israel
,
and
gather
them
from
the
East
and
West
,
and
from
the
North
and
South
,
to
sit
down
with
Christ
in
his
Kingdom
.
And
this
is
no
ill
News
to
any
,
but
who
are
glewed
to
Deceit
,
and
married
to
Iniquity
:
But
it
is
good
News
and
glad
Tidings
indeed
to
all
that
love
their
Souls
,
and
the
Honour
and
Glory
of
Truth
more
than
the
things
of
this
perishing
World
:
And
I
could
desire
,
that
all
who
are
apt
to
reason
as
the
Jews
did
when
they
heard
the
Declaration
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
,
and
Kingdom
of
God
,
which
stands
in
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
saying
,
If
we
let
this
go
on
,
then
the
Romans
and
others
will
come
and
take
our
Place
and
Nation
:
I
say
,
that
they
would
consider
,
that
the
very
course
which
they
,
to
wit
,
the
old
Jews
in
the
denial
of
the
Truth
took
for
saving
of
themselves
,
brought
utter
destruction
upon
them
and
their
Nation
:
But
what
shall
vain
Man
in
his
foolish
fall'n
Wisdom
,
and
Earthly
Reasonings
,
think
to
be
wiser
than
God
,
and
to
have
a
greater
Care
and
Love
to
the
Creation
than
God
himself
who
made
it
hath
.
What
,
shall
Angels
,
at
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
sing
Glory
to
God
on
high
,
and
Good-will
to
Men
,
and
yet
,
when
the
way
of
God
in
Christ
is
published
,
for
bringing
this
great
Work
of
Salvation
to
pass
,
vain
Man
must
come
in
with
his
false
Mind
,
and
say
,
This
is
the
way
to
confound
all
Order
,
and
destroy
all
Good
,
and
that
this
Doctrine
turns
the
World
upside
down
,
and
that
the
Messengers
of
Christ
are
Pestilent
Fellows
,
and
movers
of
Sedition
.
O
Earth
,
Earth
,
tremble
before
the
Lord
,
for
thou
shalt
never
have
Peace
in
'
thy
own
ways
,
thou
shalt
never
be
saved
by
thy
own
Strength
,
thou
shalt
never
be
established
by
thy
own
Counsels
,
thou
shalt
never
have
true
Peace
nor
Plenty
within
thy
Borders
,
until
thou
believe
the
Gospel
,
which
saith
,
Learn
of
Christ
,
whose
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
and
whose
Weapons
are
not
Carnal
but
Spiritual
,
mighty
through
God
,
not
for
the
pulling
down
of
outward
Walls
and
Bodies
,
but
for
razing
,
and
pulling
down
,
and
destroying
the
strong
Holds
of
Sin
and
Satan
in
the
Hearts
and
Lives
of
the
Children
of
Men.
For
after
that
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
the
World
by
Wisdom
knew
not
God
,
it
pleased
God
by
the
Foolishness
of
Preaching
such
Doctrine
as
this
(
which
is
a
Cross
and
stumbling
Block
to
all
Flesh
)
to
save
them
that
believe
.
So
lay
things
to
Heart
,
ye
People
of
the
World
,
and
Inhabitants
of
all
the
Earth
;
for
God's
purpose
is
not
to
exalt
any
Man
or
Men
of
this
World
,
nor
to
glorifie
any
Flesh
,
but
to
exalt
his
own
Son
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Heavenly
Man
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
the
Truth
over
all
,
of
whose
Kingdom
and
Government
there
shall
be
no
End
.
And
all
that
Obey
his
Voice
,
and
for
Obedience
thereto
are
made
willing
to
Suffer
with
him
,
shall
Reign
with
him
for
evermore
.
But
all
others
,
whether
they
be
called
Christians
or
Turks
,
or
whatever
else
,
shall
be
as
the
Dust
or
Chaff
before
the
Wind
,
to
be
scattered
,
as
the
Lord
by
his
Spirit
from
the
beginning
hath
said
,
and
at
this
Time
speaketh
in
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
Loose
and
Wicked
Professors
.
HOW
long
,
O
ye
People
,
will
ye
sleep
and
slumber
in
a
dead
Form
of
Religion
,
without
the
Life
and
Power
of
Godliness
?
How
long
will
ye
dote
upon
the
shews
and
appearances
of
Things
,
where
the
Substance
is
wanting
?
Can
the
Soul
of
Man
live
upon
that
which
perishes
and
passes
away
with
the
using
,
as
the
things
of
this
present
time
do
?
How
long
shall
the
Trumpet
of
the
Lord
be
sounded
in
the
Land
,
before
the
People
prepare
themselves
to
serve
the
Lord
,
and
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
as
he
requires
.
How
long
shall
the
Judgments
of
the
Lord
be
in
the
Earth
,
before
the
Inhabitants
thereof
learn
Righteousness
.
O
the
hardness
of
the
Hearts
of
the
Children
of
Men
this
day
upon
the
Earth
!
how
past
feeling
are
the
Men
of
this
Generation
grown
,
and
without
Understanding
!
Never
was
Sodom
more
secure
!
The
Day
is
dawned
,
and
the
Sun
is
up
,
and
yet
they
lye
fast
locked
up
in
the
deepest
Sleep
of
fleshly
Ease
and
carnal
Security
.
And
because
the
Lord
suffers
not
his
whole
Displeasure
to
arise
at
once
upon
them
;
therefore
they
go
on
to
harden
themselves
in
their
Sins
,
as
the
People
of
old
did
,
whom
the
Lord
overthrew
in
his
Wrath
:
And
so
because
Judgment
is
not
speedily
executed
upon
their
Evil
Deeds
,
therefore
they
set
their
Hearts
to
go
on
in
their
old
ways
of
Sin
,
Vanity
,
and
Uncleanness
,
and
so
cover
themselves
,
but
not
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
nor
any
of
the
pure
and
Holy
ways
thereof
;
but
take
Counsel
one
at
another
,
and
strengthen
themselves
in
the
Arm
of
Flesh
.
Wo
,
wo
unto
you
,
O
wicked
and
evil
People
,
who
harden
your
Hearts
against
the
Lord
,
who
shall
sufficiently
bewail
you
,
or
what
Lamentation
shall
be
taken
up
for
you
?
With
the
Mourning
of
them
that
mourn
for
the
Dead
slain
by
the
Sword
,
cast
out
into
the
High-ways
to
be
trodden
under
Foot
,
shall
you
be
lamented
.

To
Protestants
.
OYe
poor
People
called
Protestants
,
in
the
sence
of
the
Love
of
God
to
my
Soul
,
and
pity
to
yours
,
do
I
write
these
Lines
;
It
is
many
Years
now
since
it
pleased
the
Lord
to
deliver
you
from
the
bloody
Conspiracy
of
them
called
Papists
,
in
that
Powder
Plot
,
and
you
have
kept
a
Yearly
Remembrance
of
it
in
an
outward
Day
,
in
an
outward
manner
,
Acclamations
,
Organs
,
and
other
bodily
Exercises
;
but
alass
,
your
Souls
lies
still
in
the
Death
,
Ignorant
of
that
Heavenly
Deliverance
and
Resurrection
from
Sin
,
which
the
Saints
in
Light
witness
to
the
everlasting
Praise
and
Glory
of
his
Grace
,
daily
and
hourly
to
be
remembred
,
and
at
no
time
to
be
forgotten
.
And
for
want
of
this
,
your
Offerings
cannot
be
accepted
of
the
pure
God
,
who
looks
for
Spiritual
Obedience
from
the
very
Heart
of
all
that
receive
any
Blessing
,
Mercy
,
or
Deliverance
from
him
,
either
for
their
Souls
or
Bodies
.
But
truly
,
the
Lord
God
is
not
pleased
with
your
Organs
,
Ringing
of
Bells
,
and
Singing
and
shouting
on
the
top
of
a
Steeple
,
or
any
vain
words
of
Thankfulness
for
an
Offering
to
him
,
and
you
still
remaining
in
that
nature
,
which
grieveth
his
Holy
Spirit
.
And
so
you
dishonour
the
Holy
Lord
God
,
the
Creator
of
all
things
by
your
base
and
low
thoughts
of
him
,
judging
his
Thoughts
to
be
like
your
Thoughts
;
and
that
such
a
sorry
Service
as
you
offer
to
him
will
please
so
great
a
Majesty
:
Truly
,
the
Lord
might
justly
give
you
into
the
hands
of
those
he
hath
thus
delivered
you
from
,
because
of
your
Sins
,
and
because
you
lay
not
his
Goodness
to
Heart
,
as
a
truly
thankful
People
do
.
So
whilst
you
have
time
prize
it
,
and
awake
out
of
Sleep
,
and
come
to
the
Light
of
God
in
you
the
Soul's
Searcher
,
and
it
will
let
you
see
the
Truth
and
Seasonableness
of
my
Words
,
that
you
may
repent
of
all
your
Sins
and
sinful
Sacrifices
,
and
learn
to
offer
unto
God
your
whole
Heart
to
be
disposed
of
to
his
Will
and
Service
,
that
by
his
Power
he
may
purge
you
,
and
through
his
Righteous
Judgments
he
may
make
you
clean
in
Heart
for
his
use
,
who
is
over
all
blessed
for
ever
.
And
who
is
seeking
such
Holy
Worshippers
in
this
day
of
his
Power
,
wherein
he
is
arisen
to
purge
the
Earth
with
his
fiery
flaming
Word
,
and
to
slay
the
wicked
with
the
Sword
of
his
Mouth
.

To
the
Sons
of
Vanity
.
YE
Sons
of
Vanity
,
whose
Exercise
and
Delight
is
not
all
in
God
and
Goodness
,
but
in
Sin
and
Vanity
,
to
the
darkning
and
separating
of
your
Souls
from
that
blessed
Peace
which
the
Saints
in
Light
enjoy
with
the
Lord
God
.
O
the
miserable
Desolations
that
Sin
in
this
Night
of
Apostacy
hath
made
in
the
Earth
;
yet
Glory
to
God
,
though
the
Egyptians
sit
in
the
grossest
Darkness
,
yet
the
Children
of
Israel
who
fear
the
Lord
,
and
work
Righteousness
,
have
Light
in
all
their
Dwellings
.
And
in
that
Light
they
stand
Witnesses
for
God
continually
,
against
all
vain
Inventions
,
and
cruel
Sports
of
Men
of
corrupt
Minds
,
whom
God
will
Judge
,
and
severely
Punish
in
his
Judgment-Day
.
O
consider
this
ye
Cock-Fighters
,
Bull-Baiters
,
and
all
that
forget
God
;
for
the
Judgment
hastens
,
and
who
shall
stand
in
the
Gap
for
wilful
Transgressors
.
What
,
did
ye
seem
to
humble
your selves
lately
in
a
Publick
Fast
for
your
Sins
,
and
are
you
so
quickly
turned
again
to
the
Vomit
of
your
old
Vanities
?
How
should
the
Lord
but
smite
the
Land
for
these
things
,
From
a
Servant
of
God
these
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
Who
they
are
that
only
Rejoyce
in
the
Birth
of
Christ
.
NOne
can
rightly
Rejoyce
in
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
but
the
Spiritual
New-Born
in
Christ
.
Those
that
think
to
please
Christ
with
Eating
,
and
Drinking
,
and
Sporting
,
and
Playing
,
are
Garnally-minded
,
and
the
Carnal
Mind
cannot
please
God
,
Rom.
8.6
,
7
,
8.
so
it
s
manifest
,
that
the
Service
and
Kingdom
of
God
stands
not
in
Meats
and
Drinks
and
foolish
and
worldly
Delights
,
but
in
Righteousness
,
and
Peace
,
and
Joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
Rom.
14.17
.
For
Meats
for
the
Belly
,
and
the
Belly
for
Meats
,
but
God
will
destroy
both
it
and
them
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
But
God
will
never
destroy
such
as
Serve
and
Worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
all
the
days
of
their
new
and
redeemed
Life
;
and
so
it
is
manifest
,
the
more
Spiritual
that
any
one
is
,
the
more
are
they
dead
and
separated
from
that
foolish
Mind
,
and
vain
Customs
that
the
evil
World
loves
and
lives
in
.
And
,
on
the
contrary
,
those
that
make
most
Provision
for
Flesh
,
to
satisfie
it
in
the
Lusts
thereof
,
let
the
time
be
what
it
may
,
are
the
gre●test
Enemies
to
Christ
and
their
own
Souls
.
So
let
things
be
well
weighed
and
considered
,
and
it
will
appear
to
the
open
Eve
,
that
God
is
not
more
dishonoured
in
any
Twelve
Days
of
the
Year
,
than
in
these
that
People
pretend
most
to
Honour
him
in
,
which
to
a
Godly
Heart
cannot
but
be
matter
of
great
Sorrow
,
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
Phil.
3.18.18
.
Many
walk
of
whom
I
have
told
you
often
,
and
now
tell
you
even
weeping
,
that
they
are
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
:
Whose
end
is
Destruction
,
whose
God
is
their
Belly
,
and
whose
Glory
is
in
their
Shame
,
who
mind
earthly
things
.
And
this
is
the
miserable
and
woful
Condition
of
too
great
a
part
of
the
People
,
that
,
in
these
days
,
bear
the
Name
of
Christians
,
over
whom
the
Spirit
Mourns
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
A
Testimony
against
Persecution
,
to
King
Charles
the
Second
,
and
his
Magistrates
.
THough
our
Sufferings
be
little
accounted
of
in
the
Eyes
of
those
that
Afflict
us
,
yet
be
assured
they
are
seen
to
be
great
and
many
in
the
Eyes
of
God
our
Heavenly
Father
,
for
whose
Name
and
Truths
sake
we
suffer
;
and
for
this
are
his
Judgments
begun
to
be
poured
out
upon
the
Land
;
for
though
the
People
of
the
Land
of
all
sorts
,
be
guilty
of
many
other
Crying
Sins
,
yet
this
one
Sin
of
Persecuting
the
Righteous
for
their
pure
Conscience
sake
,
is
and
always
hath
been
the
most
Grievous
in
the
Eyes
of
Jesus
Christ
,
whose
Glory
is
mainly
concerned
in
it
,
as
one
may
see
by
that
in
Acts
9.
where
it
is
said
by
Jesus
from
Heaven
,
Saul
,
Saul
,
why
persecutest
thou
me
.
The
Jews
and
Saul
thought
they
had
done
well
,
so
to
persecute
those
Poor
Members
of
Christ
in
those
days
,
because
they
would
not
conform
to
the
Ceremonies
of
their
Law
and
Service
;
but
Jesus
saw
it
was
done
against
him
in
them
,
what
was
done
against
them
.
So
though
many
may
think
they
do
well
,
in
doing
thus
against
us
in
these
days
,
because
we
cannot
conform
to
your
Customs
,
contrary
to
that
of
God
in
our
Conscience
:
Yet
know
assuredly
,
we
are
justified
in
the
sight
of
God
for
what
we
do
,
and
he
will
assuredly
plead
our
Innocent
Cause
,
as
he
did
the
Sufferers
for
Truth
in
those
former
Days
;
and
it
will
not
be
well
with
the
Land
,
so
long
as
these
Yokes
of
Oppression
are
upon
us
,
who
desire
nothing
more
than
the
Peace
,
Welfare
,
and
everlasting
Good
of
the
King
and
all
People
;
but
alas
,
it
will
not
be
so
long
as
the
Law
,
which
should
be
laid
upon
the
Wicked
Drunkards
,
Swearers
,
Unclean
Persons
,
and
Wasters
of
God's
Creatures
upon
their
Lusts
,
is
thus
laid
upon
the
Righteous
,
who
live
Peaceably
,
Righteously
and
Godly
,
in
this
present
evil
World
.
And
so
you
Judges
,
be
awakened
to
true
Judgment
and
Justice
,
and
know
aright
for
what
both
Land
and
Sea
mourneth
at
this
day
,
and
let
the
King
also
and
all
People
know
the
same
,
and
know
that
it
is
for
all
your
Sins
,
and
especially
for
the
hard
Usage
of
us
the
Peaceable
and
Innocent
People
of
God
in
Scorn
called
Quakers
,
for
our
Pure
Conscience-sake
,
and
Holy
worshipping
of
our
God
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
as
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
hath
taught
us
:
And
so
till
this
,
with
the
rest
,
be
repented
of
,
How
can
the
Lord
accept
you
,
or
be
for
you
?
Yea
,
though
Noah
,
Daniel
and
Job
,
stood
before
God
to
intercede
for
you
,
yet
his
Heart
cannot
be
for
you
,
so
long
as
your
many
Sins
,
and
this
grievous
Sin
before
mentioned
,
do
remain
:
Yea
,
though
you
should
meet
together
every
day
in
the
Week
,
and
call
it
a
Fast
,
and
seem
in
the
outward
to
humble
your
Souls
,
yet
till
these
Burdens
of
Sin
be
removed
from
off
your
Souls
,
and
the
Yokes
of
Oppression
from
off
Christ's
Lambs
,
it
cannot
be
well
with
you
.
Your
Teachers
may
tell
you
of
Sin
in
the
general
to
be
the
cause
of
these
Plagues
,
but
they
tell
you
not
nakedly
and
truly
for
what
the
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
lifted
up
against
you
,
neither
indeed
can
they
,
because
of
the
Blindness
of
their
Hearts
,
and
the
Spirit
of
deep
Sleep
that
is
fallen
upon
them
.
So
Friend
,
these
things
are
on
me
,
as
from
the
Lord
,
to
advertise
thee
and
you
all
of
,
in
love
to
thy
Soul
and
you
all
,
and
to
desire
you
,
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
to
lay
them
to
Heart
,
and
ponder
of
them
,
and
not
to
pass
over
them
slightly
,
as
too
many
have
done
,
because
they
come
from
such
a
one
as
I
,
who
am
as
a
Man
rejected
by
you
:
Yet
the
Lord
loves
my
Soul
,
and
cares
for
me
,
praised
be
his
Name
;
and
in
the
Patience
,
and
Joy
,
and
Strength
of
the
Peace
of
God's
Blessed
Spirit
,
am
I
kept
and
preserved
in
these
continued

An
Apology
from
the
Harmless
against
the
Unjust
.
And
to
the
King
and
his
Magistrates
against
Plotting
.
WE
,
who
are
of
the
World
called
Quakers
,
do
testifie
,
as
in
the
sight
of
the
Blessed
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
that
we
are
clear
in
our
Hearts
from
all
Plottings
or
Contrivings
of
Evil
or
Mischief
against
the
King
or
any
of
his
Subjects
;
and
that
our
Meeting
apart
from
the
Steeple-house
Worship
,
is
meerly
in
Obedience
to
God
and
at
his
Command
,
who
saith
,
Come
out
from
amongst
them
who
live
in
Sin
,
and
plead
for
the
continuance
of
the
Body
of
it
(
Yea
in
the
Regenerate
themselves
)
during
tearm
of
Life
:
And
so
while
we
touched
the
unclean
thing
with
you
,
we
could
not
be
accepted
of
God
;
and
therefore
the
Lord
called
us
out
,
that
we
might
meet
together
as
we
do
,
and
have
done
these
many
years
,
in
his
holy
Name
and
Fear
,
to
worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
not
in
a
Pretence
,
but
in
the
real
Truth
of
the
thing
:
And
we
have
found
his
Heavenly
Presence
with
us
,
and
his
Holy
Promise
fulfilled
amongst
us
,
which
saith
,
Where
two
or
three
are
gathered
together
in
Christ's
Name
,
he
will
be
in
the
midst
of
them
;
Praises
to
him
for
ever
.
And
now
as
concerning
those
People
called
Monarchy-Men
,
who
are
Fighters
with
Carnal
Weapon
,
and
it
seems
did
rise
up
to
disturb
the
Peace
of
the
Nation
by
outward
Force
,
we
do
utterly
deny
;
and
not
only
them
,
but
all
others
who
think
the
Kingdom
of
Christ
can
be
set
up
with
a
Carnal
Weapon
,
or
that
his
Church
can
be
preserved
and
kept
clean
by
worldly
Force
,
for
God
hath
given
us
graciously
to
see
beyond
all
such
things
,
and
hath
manifested
in
us
that
Blessed
Heavenly
Power
and
Spirit
of
Christ
,
by
which
his
Church
,
which
is
his
Body
,
is
raised
up
and
preserved
,
and
builded
up
for
evermore
;
and
the
Sword
of
this
Blessed
Spirit
of
Jesus
,
which
is
the
Word
of
God
we
know
,
for
the
cutting
down
not
of
Persons
but
Sins
,
Praised
be
God
;
and
so
to
the
outward
Fightings
and
Warrings
our
Hearts
are
dead
,
and
we
dare
not
avenge
our selves
as
the
wicked
World
doth
,
but
to
God
to
we
commit
our
Cause
in
Well-doing
,
for
he
is
the
Avenger
of
all
Wrongs
,
and
Pleader
of
the
Innocent
Cause
of
his
People
in
all
Generations
,
Glory
to
his
Name
over
all
.
And
therefore
it
cannot
be
but
a
most
unjust
thing
,
that
we
should
suffer
by
a
Law
that
was
made
against
Plotters
and
Seditious
Conventiclers
:
I
say
,
we
who
through
the
Grace
of
Christ
are
made
to
witness
against
all
such
things
from
our
very
Hearts
,
and
therefore
it
concerns
all
,
who
are
in
Authority
,
to
see
what
they
do
,
and
to
distinguish
rightly
of
Matters
,
lest
they
cause
the
Innocent
to
suffer
,
as
some
to
their
own
Hurt
have
done
,
and
so
bring
God's
Judgments
upon
them
;
for
not
the
greatest
that
ever
were
upon
the
Earth
,
could
escape
God's
Judgments
who
wronged
his
People
,
witness
Ahab's
House
,
and
all
the
great
Kings
of
the
Nations
in
all
Ages
,
who
touched
God's
People
,
who
were
as
dear
to
him
as
the
apple
of
his
Eye
:
Do
you
not
remember
what
they
did
to
Daniel
for
the
Worship
of
his
God
,
and
how
the
Lord
delivered
him
,
and
the
Pit
devoured
his
Adversaries
,
with
the
Informers
and
false
Accusers
?
Daniel
could
not
worship
but
according
to
the
Law
of
the
God
of
Heaven
,
and
so
we
cannot
worship
but
according
to
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
Life
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
:
Must
we
therefore
suffer
;
well
we
are
helped
by
the
Love
of
God
,
to
rejoyce
and
bear
patiently
the
Will
of
the
Lord
,
until
he
plead
our
Innocent
Cause
,
and
judge
in
Righteousness
betwixt
us
and
our
Adversaries
,
for
in
his
Judgment
is
our
Boldness
,
Glory
to
God
for
ever
;
but
the
Haters
of
the
Good
cannot
stand
before
him
.
The
Jews
said
,
They
had
a
Law
,
and
by
their
Law
Christ
ought
to
die
:
Was
that
a
good
Law
which
condemned
the
Innocent
?
So
whatever
Men
pretend
,
as
a
Cloak
to
cover
their
Doings
from
Men
,
yet
God
sees
the
Hearts
of
all
Persecutors
of
the
Righteous
,
and
will
judge
them
as
such
.

O

of
Penkridge
,
and
the
Places
thereabout
,
who
had
a
Heart
or
Hand
in
the
setting
up
of
these
Heathenish
May-poles
,
especially
this
second
time
,
you
have
shamed
your selves
and
your
Religion
thereby
in
the
sight
of
all
,
and
you
have
greatly
provoked
the
Lord
God
against
you
by
these
doings
:
And
the
old
Heathens
did
never
more
manifest
their
evil
inside
in
setting
up
their
Idols
,
than
you
have
done
in
setting
up
this
dead
Stick
,
and
adorning
it
with
Garlands
,
or
so
,
and
sometimes
Dancing
and
Rejoycing
about
it
,
as
your
Brethren
in
the
Wilderness
did
about
the
golden
Calf
.
And
now
upon
this
particular
Stick
,
what
may
be
judged
by
the
Flag
that
stands
on
high
upon
it
,
but
that
you
have
bid
defiance
to
all
Good
.
O
the
Pride
,
O
the
Self-willedness
,
O
the
Naughtiness
of
your
blind
deceived
Hearts
!
How
long
will
you
strive
against
God
with
your
Doings
?
How
long
will
you
provoke
the
Eyes
of
his
Jealousie
against
you
?
A
sad
day
is
coming

you
from
his
provoked
Throne
,
O
Repent

Repent
,
the
dreadful
and
terrible
Day
of
the
Lord

is
at
hand
;
And
what
will
you
do
in
that
day
?
Will
you
cry
to
the
May-pole
which
you
have
so
long
danced
about
for
help
?
O
the
Blindness
and
Wretchedness
of
your
deceived
Hearts
,
when
will
you
a
wake
,
when
will
you
consider
,
and
when
will
you
remember
your
latter
End
?
This
dead
and
dry
Stick
,
is
a
true
Figure
of
your
dead
and
barren
Hearts
to
God
and
Goodness
.
So
whilst
you
have
Time
prize
it

TO
hear
a
Dancing-Master
plead
for
his
Kingdom
,
because
of
the
evil
Gain
that
he
reaps
from
his
evil
Work
,
is
no
strange
thing
;
but
to
see
him
plead
for
it
from
the
Example
of
Holy
David's
Dancing
or
Rejoycing
before
God's
Ark
in
Ravishment
of
Joy
(
for
its
return
)
is
abominable
in
thee
,
and
the
same
which
the
vain
Fidlers
and
Pipers
of
the
Country
(
condemned
by
the
Law
)
do
,
who
will
plead
David's
Musick
to
bolster
themselves
up
in
their
unholy
Work
;
and
so
there
is
no
more
Agreement
betwixt
David's
Dancing
and
thine
,
than
there
is
betwixt
David's
Musick
and
the
Fidlers
.
If
David's
Dancing
before
God's
Ark
were
seen
by
your
Eyes
,
who
plead
for
your
Heathenish
Herodian
Dancings
,
in
these
days
it
would
be
accounted
no
less
than
Madness
and
Folly
to
you
,
as
it
was
by
Michael
in
the
former
days
.
O
the
Blindness
of
thine
and
all
such
Hearts
,
who
are
not
afraid
thus
to
wrest
●cripture
to
your
Destruction
:
And
whereas
thou
wouldst
excuse
Hecodias
(
thou
shouldst
have
said
Herodias's
Daughter
)
her
Dancing
Heel
from
being
a
cause
of
the
Baptist's
Death
,
to
cover
thy
Work
withal
,
thou
maist
know
this
Cloak
is
too
short
,
for
though
Herod's
Heart
was
evil
,
not
only
for
marrying
Herodias
,
but
also
in
Imprisoning
John
for
reproving
him
for
it
(
as
many
in
these
days
both
do
Evil
,
and
Imprison
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
for
telling
them
of
it
)
I
say
,
though
Herod's
Heart
was
evil
and
temptable
,
yet
her
Dancing
Heel
(
as
thou
calls
it
)
was
as
a
Devil
to
tempt
him
to
that
rash
Vow
at
that
time
;
for
it
's
manifest
by
his
Unwillingness
of
answering
her
Demand
for
John's
Head
,
that
he
had
no
desire
of
his
Death
,
at
least
at
that
time
,
though
he
had
put
him
in
Prison
.
And
so
my
Exhortation
to
thee
(
in
Truth
and
not
Hypocrisie
)
is
to
give
over
thy
Dancing
work
;
for
as
I
said
before
,
so
I
say
again
,
it
is
not
of
God
,
and
so
it
cannot
prosper
,
nor
that
Gain
or
Pleasure
that
comes
to
thee
or
any
others
from
it
:
And
hate
good
Counsel
no
longer
;
for
it
will
be
hard
for
any
to
kick
against
the
Pricks
of
God's
Reproof

as
the
Wind
scatters
the
Chaff
;
you
will
be
consumed
as
the
Fire
consumes
the
Stubble
;
for
the
mighty
day
of
the
Lord
is
coming
,
which
shall
burn
as
an
Oven
;
look
upon
an
Oven
when
it
burns
,
and
you
are
afraid
to
go
into
it
:
But
the
Fire
of
the
Lord
is
coming
,
which
will
burn
you
up
Root
and
Branch
:
The
Mouth
of
the
Lord
hath
spoken
it
,
who
will
perform
his
Word
,
and
none
of
you
that
are
Proud
and
Wicked
can
escape
it
:
Though
you
may
live
a
while
in
Pleasure
and
Wantonness
,
now
you
have
time
prize
it
,
this
is
the
day
of
your
Visitation
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
the
People
of
England
.
O
Ye
People
of
England
,
whose
Iniquities
are
broken
forth
like
the
breaking
of
the
Sea
,
whose
Mire
and
Filth
appear
in
every
place
:
O
what
an
evil
Savour
is
come
up
in
every
place
:
The
Land
stinks
before
the
Lord
,
because
of
the
Abominations
that
makes
desolate
in
every
place
.
Oh
the
filthy
May-Poles
,
that
Heathenish
thing
,
how
they
stand
up
in
every
place
,
some
Naked
,
some
Painted
,
and
deck'd
with
Flowers
,
Garlands
,
Ribbons
,
and
such
foolish
things
,
after
the
Custom
of
the
Heathen
of
old
that
knew
not
God
:
And
Oh
with
what
Shoutings
,
abominable
Drinkings
,
foolish
Dancings
and
Noises
have
they
been
brought
in
and
set
up
in
the
Towns
and
Villages
:
Oh
poor
naked
England
!
as
if
thou
hadst
lost
all
Taste
and
Savour
of
Christian
Religion
:
And
what
will
the
Heathens
and
Papists
say
,
when
they
hear
the
Report
of
thee
and
thy
Children
?
Old
and
young
even
mad
after
their
Idols
,
and
none
scarce
any
Courage
left
to
help
in
these
things
,
the
hands
of
all
even
as
it
were
fallen
down
in
thee
,
and
few
but
a
company
of
hidden
Mourners
lay
the
things
to
heart
that
are
ready
to
overwhelm
thee
.
Oh!
the
Cry
;
the
Cry
,
of
thy
Sins
O
England
is
grown
great
,
and
thou
hast
been
often
warned
by
the
Lord
God
,
but
thou
hast
not
repented
,
but
even
hardned
thy
Heart
,
and
fitted
thy self
for
Destruction
:
And
what
shall
the
Lord
now
do
unto
thee
,
but
even
open
the
Flood-gates
of
his
Vengeance
,
and
cause
his
Wrath
to
come
upon
thee
,
Judgment
upon
Judgment
,
Misery
upon
Misery
,
till
thou
be
brought
low
,
and
be
made
very
small
,
and
in
the
Dust
it
may
be
thou
wilt
remember
the
Lord
,
and
cry
unto
him
.
But
Oh!
what
Lamentation
shall
be
taken
up
for
thee
,
and
for
thy
Teachers
in
the
midst
of
thee
,
O
wretched
England
!
For
thy
Teachers
have
also
manifested
themselves
to
every
Eye
,
to
be
a
company
of
Self-seeking
Men
,
striving
one
with
another
about
the
Fleece
,
but
none
helping
or
healing
the
Diseases
and
Wounds
of
the
poor
torn
scattered
Flock
,
but
every
one
cries
Give
,
Give
;
they
all
look
to
their
own
way
,
their
Gain
from
their
Quarter
,
and
fear
not
me
,
saith
the
Lord
God
;
the
best
of
them
is
as
a
Briar
,
and
the
most
Upright
among
them
as
a
Thorn-hedge
:
And
now
is
the
Lord
arising
,
and
he
that
hath
overcome
is
coming
in
his
mighty
Power
to
dash
the
Pot-sheards
of
the
Earth
together
,
and
break
them
one
against
another
,
and
Babylon
the
Great
shall
fall
,
and
be
a
place
for
Dragons
,
and
be
no
more
inhabited
by
any
Son
of
Man
,
as
the
Lord
hath
said
,
for
ever
.
So
,
howl
ye
Wildernesses
,
and
rejoyce
ye
Fruitful
Fields
,
for
the
Lord
hath
visited
Sion
and
comforted
his
Afflicted
,
and
the
Kingdom
shall
be
the
Lord's
,
and
the
Haughtiness
of
the
World
shall
be
humbled
,
and
the
Loftiness
of
their
Looks
shall
be
brought
low
,
that
the
Lord
God
alone
may
be
exalted
for
he
is
worthy
:
And
this
is
our
Holy
Hope
,
and
living
Confidence
,
and
faithful
Witness
,
who
are
counted
worthy
of
God
to
bear
his
Reproach
amongst
you
(
O
People
)
under
the
name
of
Quakers
.
So
People
,
cease
striving
against
the
Lord
,
and
his
Witness
in
you
,
and
devise
not
Evil
against
the
Innocent
;
but
fear
the
Lord
,
and
in
time
repent
,
lest
his
Fury
br●●k
in
upon
you
,
and
his
fiery
Judgments
be
multiplied
upon
you
,
which
none
can
stop
or
quench
,
for
yet
the
day
of
your
Visitation
is
not
wholly
past
.

God's
Controversie
with
England
declared
:
Or
,
A
Warning-Word
,
by
way
of
Reproof
,
to
the
Inhabitants
thereof
,
even
to
such
as
Forget
God
,
and
are
adding
one
Sin
unto
another
.
UPon
the
second
Day
of
the
fifth
Month
,
1661.
as
I
Travelled
under
the
Burdens
of
the
People
,
the
Lord
God
of
everlasting
Power
,
Glory
,
Wisdom
and
Righteousness
said
unto
me
with
a
strong
hand
,
write
my
Controversie
with
this
Rebellious
People
of
England
,
who
are
Wise
to
do
evil
,
but
to
do
good
will
have
no
Knowledge
,
who
proceed
from
evil
to
worse
,
and
Fear
not
me
at
all
,
saith
the
Lord
God
;
whose
Iniquities
are
greatly
increased
against
me
,
and
to
such
a
height
do
the
Floods
of
their
Vngodliness
make
haste
to
arise
,
that
all
the
Measures
will
be
quickly
full
;
And
then
Woe
,
Woe
,
unto
them
,
saith
the
dreadful
and
holy
One.
For
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
I
will
Overturn
,
Overturn
,
until
you
wicked
and
profane
multitude
be
no
more
;
Even
until
you
,
O
People
,
whose
Ears
are
wholly
shut
against
the
good
be
consumed
and
brought
to
nothing
:
For
your
Iniquities
do
burden
my
Righteous
Soul
,
saith
God
,
and
Sodom
was
not
more
grievous
to
me
than
you
are
.
For
,
O
what
studying
and
striving
is
in
thy
Multitude
,
how
they
may
exceed
in
their
Vanities
,
in
their
Riotings
,
Drinkings
,
Revelings
,
and
Heathenish
Abominations
!
Hath
not
my
Soul
considered
,
saith
God
,
what
you
have
done
,
both
the
last
Year
and
this
,
under
pretence
of
honouring
your
King
.
What
do
you
think
by
dishonouring
Me
,
to
honour
your
King
?
You
and
your
King
(
if
he
allow
of
your
doings
)
will
I
severely
Judge
,
saith
the
Lord
God
,
except
ye
speedily
Repent
,
and
all
look
better
to
your
Ways
than
hitherto
you
have
done
.
O
consider
this
,
ye
forgetters
of
God
,
ye
filthy
hearted
People
,
how
have
ye
made
the
Land
to
stink
before
me
,
with
your
Abominations
!
O
I
have
seen
,
saith
God
,
how
,
wickedly
,
and
with
a
high
hand
,
as
it
were
in
despight
of
me
,
you
set
up
your
May
poles
,
that
accursed
thing
,
the
last
Year
,
and
I
warned
you
of
it
,
and
called
ye
to
Repentance
;
but
,
as
if
I
had
said
nothing
,
you
have
doubled
your
wickedness
in
the
same
thing
this
Year
also
,
to
provoke
my
Soul
to
arise
up
against
you
to
your
hurt
:
And
the
Be●som
on
the
top
of
some
of
them
,
signifies
that
I
will
sweep
the
Land
of
evil
doers
;
And
surely
,
it
shall
come
to
pass
,
that
if
ye
will
not
yet
repent
of
your
wickedness
,
that
I
will
plague
you
with
the
Plagues
of
Egypt
,
and
I
will
do
such
things
amongst
you
in
my
Judgment
,
and
fury
poured
forth
,
that
the
Nations
about
that
hear
thereof
,
shall
stand
amazed
at
thee
.
O
Revolted
and
Back-slided
Nation
;
whither
at
thou
gone
already
?
and
whither
wilt
thou
run
,
if
thou
be
suffered
to
go
on
?
Into
the
Pit
that
thou
art
stept
already
,
and
into
the
nether
most
Hell
thou
wilt
fall
if
I
let
thee
alone
.
But
I
will
arise
,
saith
God
,
I
will
execute
Righteous
Judgment
in
thee
,
with
fire
and
sword
will
I
plead
with
thee
,
and
thy
mighty
Men
shall
fall
with
thee
,
who
sing
thy
Song
,
and
take
part
with
thy
Lewdness
,
and
strengthen
thy
ungodly
hands
in
thy
wicked
ways
,
and
say
in
their
hearts
,
O
this
is
a
good
day
,
these
are
good
Subjects
,
this
is
the
time
we
have
long
looked
for
;
now
we
reign
;
now
we
may
do
what
we
will
,
and
who
shall
controul
us
?
who
who
shall
hinder
us
from
filling
our selves
with
all
manner
of
delights
;
now
we
are
settled
in
our
way
?
now
will
we
Build
our
decayed
Houses
,
and
Restore
our
fallen
Worships
;
now
will
we
Repair
the
broken
Fences
of
our
Parks
,
that
we
may
have
Game
to
the
full
;
now
shall
our
Horses
be
well
fed
for
the
Race
,
that
they
may
fully
please
us
;
now
let
the
Cock-Pits
be
looked
to
,
for
that
(
cruel
)
Sport
,
and
let
our
Bowling-Alleys
be
well
Dressed
for
our
daily
Recreation
;
now
shall
the
Stage-players
for
our
delight
,
have
their
full
Liberty
,
and
all
the
Sons
of
Vanity
have
due
Encouragement
;
for
the
Old
things
we
Love
,
and
that
which
is
New
,
though
never
so
much
the
Better
,
our
souls
Loath
;
We
like
the
Old
Ways
of
our
Fathers
,
because
when
they
had
Lord-Bishops
,
and
their
Minister
Services
with
Mattens
and
Evensongs
,
with
Organs
and
Singing-boys
,
and
such
like
Things
,
then
there
was
Peace
and
Plenty
;
and
when
the
Neighbourhood
could
meet
together
,
and
sit
about
a
Bone-fire
or
May-pole
,
or
under
a
Bower
,
and
drink
strong
Drink
,
and
tell
Stories
,
and
Sing
and
Roar
,
then
there
was
Love
and
Agreement
;
And
when
Plays
,
and
Pastimes
,
and
Wakes
were
duly
frequented
and
observed
,
then
was
it
a
Merry
Time
,
and
a
Joyful
Land
,
and
all
went
well
in
all
those
Days
,
when
such
Things
were
on
foot
;
And
when
those
that
said
they
scared
the
Lord
,
and
so
could
not
join
with
us
,
but
rather
Witnessed
against
us
,
and
Reproved
us
for
such
Things
,
were
taken
a
Course
withal
,
O
then
was
it
a
good
Day
,
say
many
;
And
as
it
was
then
,
so
would
we
have
it
now
,
saith
your
vain
and
wicked
Hearts
,
O
ye
fallen
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
!
And
I
see
you
,
saith
the
Lord
God
,
with
both
your
bands
endeavouring
these
Things
,
and
abusing
my
Power
,
if
possible
,
to
set
up
the
Devil's
Kingdom
with
it
;
And
thus
,
quite
contrary
to
my
Ordinance
,
saith
the
Lord
,
are
you
become
as
a
Terrour
to
the
Good
,
and
●n
Encouragement
to
them
that
do
Evil
,
and
mine
Eye
seeth
you
right
well
,
and
my
Heart
considereth
you
thorowly
,
and
I
cannot
Love
you
,
for
Prophaneness
and
Hypocrisie
is
your
Covering
,
and
you
are
as
the
cloaths
of
a
Menstruous
Woman
in
my
sight
.
Away
with
your
vain
Worships
,
saith
God
,
my
soul
loaths
your
Sabbaths
and
Services
thereon
;
yea
,
your
Sacraments
are
a
burden
to
me
;
I
hate
your
Prayers
,
Praises
,
Professions
,
and
Confessions
,
for
you
mend
not
your
lives
and
doings
at
all
;
I
will
stir
up
my
Jealousie
,
and
it
shall
kindle
like
flames
of
fire
upon
you
,
and
utterly
consume
the
joy
of
your
Hearts
,
and
for
joy
the
bitterest
of
sorrows
shall
seize
upon
you
,
and
you
shall
become
a
burden
to
your selves
,
except
you
speedily
Repent
,
and
turn
to
the
Lord
God
,
from
whom
you
are
far
gone
away
.
For
I
have
a
long
time
held
my
Peace
,
saith
the
Lord
,
but
now
I
will
cry
like
a
Travelling
Woman
,
I
will
destroy
and
devour
at
once
,
I
will
lay
waste
the
Mountains
and
the
Hills
,
because
they
have
not
answered
my
Power
with
fruits
of
Righteousness
to
me
.
And
the
Multitudes
of
People
who
are
as
Grashoppers
in
thy
Bowels
,
devouring
every
green
thing
,
and
spending
my
Creatures
upon
their
Lusts
,
not
regarding
my
Glory
at
all
,
shall
be
as
heaps
of
Fuel
for
the
fire
of
my
Jealousie
,
and
it
shall
kindle
upon
them
,
and
none
shall
quench
it
,
neither
shall
it
cease
burning
till
I
have
consumed
thy
Dross
,
and
appeased
my
Wrath
in
the
Consumption
of
thy
Wicked
Ones
,
saith
the
Lord
God
.
For
Tophet
is
prepared
of
old
,
for

Purposes

Heart

A
Faithful
Warning
to
Outside
Professors
,
and
Loose
Pretenders
to
Christianity
of
all
sorts
.
COme
all
ye
Professors
of
Scripture
,
upon
the
Face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
under
what
form
soever
,
what
have
ye
learned
hitherto
of
all
ye
profess
?
Have
ye
learned
to
Fear
God
and
keep
his
Commandments
?
Have
ye
learned
thus
to
Love
God
?
And
do
you
love
your
Neighbour
as
your selves
?
Do
ye
not
profess
to
love
God
above
all
things
,
and
your
Neighbour
as
your selves
?
Is
this
done
?
What
?
will
a
profession
of
words
commend
you
to
God
,
where
the
Obedience
is
a
wanting
?
O
thou
that
art
called
Christendom
,
how
art
thou
fallen
!
How
art
thou
become
the
Plant
of
a
degenerate
Vine
!
How
are
thy
Grapes
become
as
those
of
Sodom
!
who
shall
bring
healing
to
thee
,
who
hast
rejected
the
Balm
of
Gilead
,
that
the
Father
brought
to
thee
.
O
thou
foolish
Child
!
how
hast
thou
trifled
out
thy
precious
Time
about
Toys
and
Trifles
,
and
hast
not
regarded
the
Voice
of
thy
Maker
,
who
hath
waited
all
day
long
to
gather
thee
,
and
to
do
thee
good
,
but
thou
wouldst
not
!
Thou
hast
chosen
the
worse
part
,
in
that
thou
hast
forsaken
the
Lord
,
the
Fountain
of
Living
Waters
;
and
hast
hewed
and
chosen
to
thy self
a
Cistern
that
will
hold
no
Water
.
Thou
art
gone
into
the
ways
of
the
Old
World
,
upon
whom
the
Flood
came
:
And
which
of
those
Sins
,
for
which
Sodom
burned
,
are
a
wanting
in
thee
?
O!
the
pure
River
of
Life
that
would
quench
thy
Thirst
,
how
is
it
slighted
and
neglected
by
thee
!
and
therefore
art
thou
utterly
unsatisfied
in
whatsoever
thou
dost
,
or
attempts
to
do
.
Thou
art
never
able
to
satiate
thy
Soul
with
husks
:
Thou
must
come
into
the
Father's
House
before
thou
hast
Bread
enough
.
But
thou
say'st
in
thy
Heart
,
Thou
art
a
Queen
,
yea
,
That
thou
art
Rich
,
and
indued
with
Goods
,
and
hast
need
of
nothing
:
When
as
alas
in
the
true
Light
,
thou
art
seen
to
be
Miserable
,
Poor
,
Wretched
,
Blind
and
Naked
.
A
long
Course
hast
thou
run
;
but
the
promised
end
thou
hast
not
reached
:
Thou
hast
been
like
a
bewildred
Sheep
,
running
from
Mountain
to
Hill
to
find
a
resting
place
,
where
no
rest
is
.
Thou
camest
indeed
a
little
out
of
Egypt
:
But
O!
how
soon
didst
thou
turn
back
again
thither
,
from
whence
thou
came
,
and
loved
the
Flesh-Pots
of
Egypt
,
yea
,
the
Onions
and
Garlick
better
than
God's
Manna
in
the
Wilderness
:
Thou
should'st
have
followed
the
Lord
perfectly
unto
the
Land
of
Rest
in
Patience
,
and
silence
of
Spirit
under
his
voice
and
teachings
.
But
thou
grew
weary
of
waiting
upon
thy
God
,
and
saw
Images
of
things
on
Earth
,
and
Images
of
things
in
Heaven
,
and
bowed
thy
Heart
to
them
,
and
didst
not
keep
thy
Heart
to
the
power
that
broke
thro'
the
Darkness
for
thee
.
Nor
didst
thou
keep
thy
Eye
to
the
Light
of
Life
,
that
freely
shined
out
of
Darkness
for
to
have
guided
thee
through
the
dark
howling
Wilderness
to
Sion
.
But
thou
being
careless
and
felfish
,
thou
lent
thy
Ear
to
the
voice
of
the
Stranger
,
and
cryed
,
Lo
here
,
and
Lo
there
,
and
so
wast
thou
led
out
of
the
Way
into
By-Paths
of
Sin
and
Death
,
where
thou
hast
been
lost
from
the
true
Life
,
and
true
Light
,
and
Spirit
that
wrought
in
thee
in
the
beginning
.
And
thou
hast
not
to
this
day
throughly
considered
thy
loss
;
nay
,
very
little
is
thy
Nakedness
and
Wretchedness
laid
to
Heart
in
thee
.
And
now
therefore
thou
,
that
art
called
Christendom
,
What
is
the
Wood
of
thy
Vine
(
seeing
thou
hast
left
off
to
bear
Fruit
to
the
Lord
)
better
than
the
Wood
of
another
Tree
?
nay
,
it
is
not
so
good
as
any
.
For
,
if
the
Salt
,
that
should
season
other
things
,
have
lost
its
Savour
,
wherewith
shall
it
be
salted
?
and
of
what
use
is
it
,
but
even
to
be
trodden
under
Feet
of
Men.
O!
that
thou
wert
wise
to
consider
,
at
least
in
this
thy
day
the
things
of
thy
Peace
in
this
great
Day
,
wherein
the
Bridegroom
,
which
hath
been
as
one
travelled
into
a
far
Country
,
is
come
again
,
and
is
appeared
in
his
ancient
Love
,
Power
,
and
Perfection
to
visit
thee
,
and
to
seek
thee
out
of
every
place
,
where
thou
hast
been
scattered
through
Sin
,
in
the
long
Night
of
Apostacy
,
to
see
,
if
any
of
the
pure
Love
that
was
in
thee
in
the
day
of
thy
Espousals
,
may
be
recovered
to
himself
;
that
he
may
know
how
to
do
thee
good
,
and
how
to
make
manifest
his
ancient
love
unto
thee
,
which
bowed
the
Hearts
of
his
simple
Israel
into
such
love
of
his
goodness
,
as
to
follow
the
Lamb
wheresoever
he
went
in
the
beginning
.
But
O!
thou
polluted
Woman
,
how
art
thou
wandred
away
from
the
true
Sheep-fold
!
How
art
thou
gone
a
whoring
from
thy
God!
How
art
thou
covered
with
the
shades
of
Night
!
And
how
art
thou
lost
amongst
the
Countries
,
and
mingled
with
the
Heathen
!
yea
,
thou
hast
chosen
thy
own
ways
,
and
worshipped
the
works
of
thy
own
Hands
,
and
hast
cast
the
pure
Law
of
God
behind
thy
back
.
Yea
,
the
Light
of
the
Glorious
Gospel
of
Christ
,
which
hath
shined
to
thee
,
and
would
have
gathered
thee
up
to
God
,
thou
hast
rejected
,
and
hast
not
liked
to
retain
God
,
nor
his
Light
in
thy
Knowledge
.
And
so
thou
art
become
vain
in
thy
Mind
,
and
thy
foolish
Heart
is
become
so
dark
,
that
thou
worships
thou
knows
not
what
,
like
those
that
know
not
God
,
and
art
become
a
Prey
to
every
Beast
of
the
Field
,
and
art
bowed
in
thy
Heart
to
the
Creatures
,
more
than
to
the
living
God
the
Creator
.
And
therefore
will
he
arise
in
great
Majesty
,
and
dreadful
Power
and
will
yet
again
bring
to
pass
his
Act
,
his
strange
Act
in
thee
.
And
he
will
not
meet
thee
as
a
Man
,
but
as
a
consuming
Fire
:
Because
thou
hast
rejected
his
Goodness
,
Patience
,
and
Forbearance
.
And
hast
heaped
to
thy self
Teachers
after
thy
own
Heart
,
who
have
rocked
thee
asleep
with
their
false
Voices
,
crying
,
Peace
,
Peace
,
when
there
was
no
Peace
;
for
there
is
no
Peace
to
any
wicked
one
,
saith
the
true
God
,
profess
what
they
may
.
For
the
Lord
is
come
to
look
for
Fruits
.
And
now
,
Wo
,
Wo
,
to
the
Fruitless
Trees
,
to
the
Briars
and
Thorns
!
for
the
Fire
of
the
Lord
God
will
consume
them
.
And
now
will
the
Lord
God
bring
to
nothing
all
thy
Might
,
Wisdom
,
Glory
,
and
Greatness
,
whereby
thou
host
exalted
thy self
,
and
dishonoured
him
;
and
the
Meek
shall
Inherit
Heaven
and
Earth
.
And
blessed
is
he
that
overcometh
that
Evil
and
wicked
Spirit
,
that
so
much
reigns
and
rages
in
thee
;
for
he
shall
be
called
God's
Son
,
and
shall
Inherit
all
things
,
as
saith
the
Scripture
.
For
the
end
cometh
:
And
who
shall
stop
the
course
of
the
everlasting
Sun
of
Righteousness
,
whose
Day
is
dawned
,
blessed
for
evermore
?
O
thou
Corrupted
Earth
,
who
wallows
in
the
Blood
of
thine
Iniquity
!
who
art
become
Deaf
to
the
Heavenly
Voice
,
and
art
become
an
Enemy
to
nothing
so
much
,
as
to
that
good
thing
that
would
unburden
thee
of
thy
Corruptions
!
O
;
O
how
hath
Hell
inlarged
it self
for
the
multitude
of
those
wilful
Transgressors
in
thee
,
that
are
posting
on
in
their
sins
this
day
to
the
Chambers
of
Death
!
who
are
making
Provision
for
the
fleshly
Lusts
,
which
War
against
the
Soul
!
who
will
not
believe
what
their
miserable
State
shall
be
,
though
one
come
from
the
dead
to
declare
it
in
true
Experience
to
them
.
But
,
O
thou
little
Remnant
of
Wheat
amongst
such
a
heap
of
Chaff
!
O
thou
lovely
Seed
of
God
,
which
brings
forth
Fruit
of
Righteousness
to
his
Glory
,
and
so
shines
forth
as
Lights
in
the
fore-said
dark
World
.
Do
thou
rejoyce
,
and
be
thou
glad
for
ever
in
the
Lord
thy
Saviour
,
who
hath
loved
thee
with
an
everlasting
Love
,
and
by
his
Arm
of
Power
hath
raised
thee
up
to
be
his
Servant
,
and
hath
gathered
thee
into
his
Bosom
of
Safety
to
lie
down
,
and
rest
in
Peace
with
himself
for
evermore
.
So
be
it
,
even
so
be
it
,
saith
the
Spirit
and
the
Bride
.
So
do
thou
,
O
Lovely
Holy
Seed
,
begotten
to
God
in
Righteousness
;
do
thou
trust
●nd
rejoyce
in
the
Lord
thy
God
for
ever
.
And
be
not
troubled
nor
dismay'd
at
the
roarings
of
the
Waters
of
Babylon
;
but
be
still
,
be
still
,
be
at
rest
and
Peace
in
the
Arms
of
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
blessed
,
blessed
for
evermore
.
From
a
Lover
of
God's
Everlasting
Truth
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
PEOPLE
,
THIS
know
,
that
the
Entrance
into
Righteousness
is
the
Only
and
Alone
Entrance
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
there
is
not
another
.
Christ
is
God's
Righteousness
,
and
so
the
Door
:
He
that
entereth
not
in
by
me
,
saith
Christ
,
is
a
Thief
and
a
Robber
.
So
,
see
all
People
,
where
you
are
?
I
am
the
Way
,
the
Truth
,
and
the
Life
,
also
saith
Christ
,
and
no
Man
cometh
to
the
Father
,
but
by
me
.
So
consider
all
People
:
Is
Christ
your
Way
?
And
is
nothing
Truth
to
you
,
like
Christ
?
And
have
you
a
Life
in
nothing
at
all
,
as
in
Christ
?
Deal
honestly
with
your
own
Souls
,
and
deceive
not
your selves
;
for
God
will
not
be
mocked
.
Bring
your
Deeds
to
the
Light
,
and
seek
not
to
hide
your
Sins
from
the
Lord
:
For
there
is
nothing
secret
,
which
shall
not
be
made
manifest
.
Drunkard
,
bring
thy
Deeds
to
the
Light
.
Thou
knowest
by
the
Light
,
thou
shouldst
not
be
Drunk
,
nor
spend
God's
Creatures
upon
thy
Lust
.
Here
thou
hast
learned
thy
Condemnation
,
and
the
Wrath
of
God
abides
upon
thee
in
this
Condition
,
profess
what
thou
may'st
.
And
all
thy
Prayers
and
Performances
are
Abomination
to
the
Pure
God
,
whilst
thou
abidest
in
the
Lust
of
Drunkenness
;
for
it
defiles
.
And
all
ye
Vnclean-hearted
Ones
,
who
burn
in
your
Lusts
one
towards
another
,
and
are
as
the
Brute
Beasts
,
who
know
neither
Guide
nor
Rule
over
your
Minds
;
but
are
in
the
Evil
Liberty
,
to
follow
your
own
Evil
Hearts
.
Bring
your
Deeds
to
the
Light
,
and
it
will
let
you
see
you
should
not
be
so
:
It
will
tell
you
,
That
the
Vnclean
shall
not
enter
God's
Kingdom
;
and
without
Holiness
none
can
see
God
.
Here
ye
may
see
your
Way
to
be
to
the
Chambers
of
Hell
and
Death
,
and
not
to
Christ
.
And
all
ye
Swearers
,
Vain
and
Obscene
Talkers
,
and
Foolish
Jesters
,
whose
Tongues
run
through
the
World
:
And
as
you
know
no
Limit
to
your
Lusts
,
so
you
know
no
Bridle
to
your
Tongue
.
Your
Religion
is
vain
,
Jam.
1.26
.
Bring
your
Deeds
to
the
Light
;
there
you
may
read
your
Condemnation
.
For
there
is
that
in
your
Conscience
tells
you
,
according
to
Scripture
,
that
for
every
idle
,
vain
,
unclean
or
prophane
Word
●hat
Men
shall
speak
,
they
must
give
Account
thereof
to
the
Pure
and
Just
God
in
the
Day
of
Judgment
.
How
!
then
ye
Guil●y
,
and
be
humbled
for
your
Sins
,
lest
that
Day
come
suddenly
upon
you
as
a
Thief
in
the
Night
,
and
sweep
you
all
away
,
as
it
did
the
Old
Wo●ld
,
who
regarded
not
the
Day
of
their
Visitation
,
but
went
on
in
their
Sins
,
until
there
was
no
Remedy
.
Awake
,
awake
,
ye
Dead
and
Careless-hearted
,
who
put
the
Day
of
the
Lord
afar
off
,
and
cry
Peace
,
when
there
is
no
Peace
.
For
,
what
Peace
to
the
Wicked
?
There
is
no
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
saith
the
true
God
;
but
Peace
only
upon
Zion
,
and
to
such
as
turn
from
Iniquity
in
Jacob.
So
let
not
one
take
the
Name
of
Christ
in
their
Mouth
any
more
,
until
they
depart
from
Iniquity
.
For
such
as
go
on
in
the
Custom
and
daily
Practice
of
Sin
,
and
yet
think
to
cover
themselves
with
and
Outward
Profession
of
Christ
,
do
but
deceive
themselves
,
and
increase
their
Condemnation
,
adding
Sin
to
Sin
.
This
is
God's
Truth
,
which
he
that
hath
an
Ear
,
let
him
hear
;
and
he
that
hath
any
Desire
in
him
to
return
to
God
,
let
him
consider
of
,
and
give
Glory
to
God
by
Repenting
of
that
,
which
doth
any
way
dishonour
God
.
Also
this
know
for
truth
,
That
your
Invented
,
Licentious
Gaming
for
Vain
Delights
and
Pleasures
is
not
of
God
;
but
an
Invention
of
that
Wicked
One
,
who
is
called
the
Devil
and
Satan
,
Invented
to
please
the
Vain
and
Empty
Minds
of
his
Children
and
Servants
,
which
are
out
of
the
Law
and
Truth
of
God
.
But
the
Children
and
Servants
of
God
are
full
of
Goodness
,
and
are
exercised
in
the
Law
and
Truth
of
God
Day
and
Night
;
and
so
deny
the
Devil
and
his
Works
.
So
let
no
Man
deceive
any
of
you
,
neither
be
deceived
in
your selves
;
for
the
Judge
is
at
the
Door
.
And
the
True
Light
is
arisen
,
which
makes
manifest
every
Work
,
and
the
Reward
of
it
for
Ever
.
And
all
ye
Stage-Players
,
Puppet-Players
,
and
the
Authors
and
Inventors
of
such
things
,
with
all
that
love
such
Heathenish
Things
,
yea
,
and
give
your
Money
for
them
,
that
thereby
ye
may
feed
the
Covetous
Lusts
in
the
Players
,
that
thirst
after
Money
;
and
the
Vain
Lust
of
your
own
defiled
Eyes
and
Ears
,
which
are
after
Pleasures
more
than
the
Lord
God
that
made
you
.
Know
this
,
That
your
Works
are
all
weighed
in
an
equal
Ballance
,
and
by
the
Light
of
Christ
you
are
all
seen
to
be
out
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
in
the
Heathenish
Nature
,
upholding
and
practising
those
things
,
which
Christ
came
to
destroy
.
Yea
,
and
by
the
Light
of
Christ
in
your
own
Consciences
,
when
you
are
a
little
sober
and
still
in
your
Minds
,
you
know
,
you
should
not
do
such
things
:
Here
you
also
have
learn'd
your
Condemnation
,
and
cannot
in
this
State
stand
before
the
Lord
,
because
of
your
Sins
.
And
all
ye
,
that
can
please
your selves
with
beholding
one
Creature
hurt
and
torment
another
,
yea
,
sometimes
even
to
Death
,
as
at
Bull
baitings
,
Bear
baitings
,
Cook
fightings
,
and
the
like
.
O!
what
Minds
have
ye
,
and
how
contrary
are
ye
herein
to
the
Tender
Nature
of
Christ
,
and
all
Christians
,
truly
so
call'd
,
who
could
never
Rejoice
in
any
such
things
,
by
reason
of
their
tender
,
pitiful
and
merciful
Nature
!
O
ye
Children
of
Cruelty
!
when
will
your
Hearts
break
,
your
stony
Hearts
melt
into
Tears
before
the
Lord
for
all
your
mighty
Sins
?
And
when
will
you
bring
your
Deeds
to
the
Light
,
that
ye
may
see
the
Ugliness
of
your
Sins
,
and
repent
of
them
;
lest
the
Judgments
written
fall
upon
you
for
them
,
as
it
did
upon
all
such
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
and
there
be
no
escape
?
O
England
,
England
!
How
hast
thou
defiled
thy self
by
thine
Iniquities
!
How
is
the
Flood-gate
of
Sin
broken
open
in
thee
to
the
polluting
of
thy
Land
!
O
,
how
art
thou
wholly
over-spread
with
Briars
,
and
Thorns
,
and
Weeds
!
so
that
the
Lord
must
arise
to
purge
thee
by
Fire
;
seeing
thou
hast
refused
to
wash
in
that
pure
Water
of
Life
,
that
sprung
up
in
thee
.
So
if
thou
hast
an
Ear
,
hear
,
before
it
be
too
late
,
and
the
Door
be
shut
.

whose
God
is
your
Belly
,
and
whose
Care
is
how
you
may
satisfie
your
Ungodly
Lusts
;
you
are
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
:
Yea
,
you
Crucifie
Christ
afresh
to
your selves
,
and
put
him
to
open
Shame
by
your
Lewd
Living
.
The
Hand
of
the
Lord
is
against
you
,
ye
Prophane
Esau's
,
who
have
sold
and
are
selling
your
Birth-right
for
a
Mess
of
Pottage
.
When
will
ye
Awake
,
when
will
ye
Arise
from
off
your
sinful
Bed
,
where
you
cry
Peace
to
your selves
in
your
Sins
?
When
will
ye
lay
to
Heart
the
Apostle's
Doctrine
,
ye
Common
Sinners
,
who
proudly
boast
of
your
Common
Prayers
,
and
yet
depart
not
from
your
Iniquities
?
Is
not
the
Sacrifice
of
the
Wicked
an
Abomination
to
God
?
And
will
God
regard
your
Prayers
,
whilst
you
so
love
and
regard
your
Iniquities
,
and
walk
so
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
?
Doth
not
the
Apostle
say
,
Make
no
provision
for
the
Flesh
,
to
satisfie
it
in
the
Lusts
thereof
;
and
ye
,
in
a
direct
Opposition
and
Hatred
to
this
Doctrine
,
make
all
provision
for
the
Flesh
to
fulfil
and
satisfie
it
every
way
in
the
Lust
thereof
.
And
so
your
Table
is
as
the
Table
of
Devils
,
and
not
of
Saints
;
and
ye
cannot
both
partake
of
the
Table
of
Devils
,
and
the
Table
of
Christ
,
the
Apostle
being
Witness
.
So
howl
ye
Sinners
,
and
Vngodly
People
,
and
be
humbled
for
all
your
Lewdnesses
;
and
repent
of
all
your
Whoredoms
,
whereby
ye
have
gone
a
Whoring
from
the
Life
of
Christ
,
and
his
Saints
.
And
let
your
Feastings
be
turned
into
Fastings
,
and
your
Laughters
and
Merriments
be
turn'd
into
Lamentations
and
bitter
Mournings
,
for
the
Misery
that
is
to
come
upon
you
from
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
Day
of
his
Fierce
Wrath
,
which
is
nigh
to
come
,
and
be
revealed
upon
you
in
Flames
of
Fire
for
all
your
mighty
Sins
.
O
ye
,
that
are
so
contrary
to
Christ
,
be
humbled
before
the
Lord
for
all
your
Hypocrisies
,
who
say
,
You
are
come
out
of
Popery
,
and
yet
continue
in
some
of
their
Idolatrous
Customs
,
as
this
Prophane
keeping
of
the
time
,
which
ye
in
Imitation
call
Christmas
(
among
other
Superstitions
)
whereby
ye
shew
your selves
to
be
too
near
of
Kin
to
that
Whorish
Woman
,
which
hath
defiled
the
Earth
with
her
Abominations
.
Ye
make
haste
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
your
Iniquities
,
as
though
the
time
would
fail
you
to
make
your selves
perfect
in
Wickedness
.
And
ye
seem
to
entertain
Christ
as
the
Heathens
of
Old
did
their
Idols
,
who
thought
,
The
more
Vain
,
Lustful
and
Wanton
that
they
were
,
the
more
they
pleased
their
Idols
,
and
offered
a
more
acceptable
Sacrifice
to
their
Gods
.
But
O!
be
humbl'd
for
these
things
,
lest
the
Lord
carry
you
back
again
into
the
Belly
of
Egypt
and
Blackness
of
Babylon's
Darkness
,
whither
ye
have
manifested
too
much
a
Mind
to
return
.
And
as
a
Just
Recompence
for
all
your
Unrighteousness
,
he
Swore
in
his
Wrath
,
That
ye
shall
never
enter
into
his
Rest.
Thomas
Taylor
.
Something
as
it
came
to
mind
,
of
what
passed
at
the
Assizes
in
Stafford
,
betwixt
the
Judge
and
the
People
of
God
,
called
by
the
World
Quakers
:
But
the
Reproach
of
Christ
is
to
us
great
Riches
,
and
the
Scorners
God
will
Judge
.
WE
being
called
to
the
Bar
,
we
came
up
in
the
Dread
and
Fear
of
God
,
and
in
the
Love
of
Justice
,
with
our
usual
Garments
on
.
Judge
.
And
the
Judge
asked
us
,
If
we
knew
where
we
were
?
To
whom
it
was
Answered
,
Ans.
Yea
,
we
stand
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
;
before
whom
all
are
.
Judge
.
Then
he
bid
Fine
us
Forty
Shillings
a
piece
,
for
keeping
on
our
Hats
;
and
then
caused
our
Hats
to
be
taken
off
.
Ans.
To
whom
it
was
Answered
,
That
some
of
the
Men
called
Justices
,
now
in
Authority
,
had
been
heard
to
Condemn
Oliver
Cromwell
for
such
a
thing
.
Here
the
Judge
spoke
something
of
Oliver
.
Ans.
But
where
is
it
read
in
Scripture
,
that
the
Apostles
suffered
for
keeping
on
their
Hats
.
To
which
the
Judge
replied
,
They
had
no
Hats
:
And
so
proceeded
to
other
things
.
But
here
by
the
way
all
may
take
notice
,
that
the
Scripture
speaks
of
Hats
in
Dan.
3.21
.
which
was
long
before
the
Apostles
time
;
and
surely
the
Apostles
had
something
to
cover
their
Heads
withal
;
whether
called
Hats
or
Caps
is
not
material
:
And
that
it
is
not
putting
off
the
Hat
,
but
putting
away
deceit
from
the
Heart
,
that
Honours
God's
Authority
.
Now
as
concerning
the
Oath
,
the
Judge
asked
,
If
we
would
take
it
?
We
Answered
,
Christ
taught
us
not
to
Swear
,
but
said
,
Let
your
Yea
,
be
Yea
,
and
your
Nay
,
Nay
,
for
whatsoever
is
more
cometh
of
evil
.
Then
said
the
Judge
,
You
have
spoken
many
words
more
than
Yea
and
Nay
.
To
which
was
Answered
,
That
's
not
it
;
for
the
Lord
doth
not
forbid
his
People
to
speak
more
words
as
need
is
in
his
Fear
,
but
he
intends
plainly
this
,
That
when
we
affirm
a
thing
,
we
should
affirm
it
in
the
Truth
,
and
what
we
deny
,
to
deny
it
also
in
the
Truth
,
and
both
without
an
Oath
:
For
though
under
the
Law
,
where
Strife
was
,
there
was
also
Oaths
,
yet
now
Christ
being
come
to
make
an
end
of
●trife
,
he
ends
Oaths
also
,
and
the
occasion
of
them
.
Judge
.
Then
you
must
be
the
Expounders
.
Ans.
Not
we
,
but
the
Spirit
of
God
in
all
.
Saith
the
Judge
,
But
we
read
that
God
Swore
;
but
where
is
it
read
that
the
Devil
Swore
?
To
which
was
Answered
by
one
of
us
;
yea
,
the
Devil
both
did
,
and
now
also
doth
Swear
,
in
the
Mouths
of
all
wicked
Men
,
and
that
falsly
also
.
Then
here
about
the
Oath
of
Allegiance
was
read
.
And
it
being
read
,
one
of
us
Answered
whose
Name
was
T.
T.
It
seems
this
Oath
was
made
against
them
called
Papists
.
And
as
for
Popery
,
I
do
here
declare
as
in
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
against
it
,
and
their
wicked
Tenents
,
such
as
there
is
mentioned
.
And
for
our
good
Desires
for
the
King
,
and
all
Men
,
is
in
like
sincerity
also
now
acknowledged
.
This
is
,
as
it
were
,
the
substance
of
the
Oath
,
said
the
Judge
:
Then
said
I
,
Let
that
serve
.
Judge
.
But
why
will
you
not
Swear
?
Ans.
Because
my
Yea
,
is
Yea
,
and
my
Nay
,
is
Nay
,
without
Swearing
.
And
I
do
not
deny
to
Swear
in
Contempt
of
Authority
,
but
in
Conscience
to
God
.
And
so
all
People
may
see
that
if
I
suffer
for
this
,
it
is
not
for
substance
,
but
circumstance
,
or
so
.
Judge
.
But
how
shall
we
try
Matters
of
Difference
without
Swearing
?
Ans.
By
Faithful
Witnesses
,
without
Swearing
.
Judge
.
But
what
if
they
witness
false
?
Ans.
The
same
may
be
said
concerning
Swearing
:
For
you
do
not
know
by
a
Man's
meer
words
,
without
further
Trial
,
more
when
he
Swears
falsly
or
truly
,
than
when
he
speaks
falsly
or
truly
.
And
so
if
ye
had
the
same
Law
against
False
Witnesses
,
as
is
against
False
Swearers
,
it
would
be
all
one
.
Judge
.
But
we
have
not
such
a
Law
.
Ans.
But
you
may
have
.
And
here
all
People
consider
,
what
the
Law
of
God
amongst
the
Jews
that
were
under
the
Law
,
in
such
Cases
as
this
,
was
;
see
Deut.
19.16
.
to
the
end
:
The
words
are
these
,
If
a
False
Witness
arise
up
against
any
Man
,
to
testifie
agdinst
him
that
which
is
wrong
,
then
both
the
Men
,
between
whom
the
Controversie
is
,
shall
stand
before
the
Lord
,
before
the
Priests
,
(
who
were
Types
of
Christ
to
come
)
and
the
Judges
which
shall
be
in
those
days
.
And
the
Judges
shall
make
diligent
Inquisition
,
and
behold
if
the
Witness
be
a
False
Witness
,
and
hath
testified
falsly
against
his
Brother
,
then
shall
he
do
unto
him
,
as
he
had
thought
to
have
done
unto
his
Brother
,
&c.
If
such
a
thing
as
this
were
minded
,
Would
not
this
keep
the
Wicked
in
awe
?
Judge
.
Reach
him
the
Book
.
Ans.
What
Book
is
it
?
Is
it
not
the
Scripture
?
Yea
,
said
the
Officer
.
Then
said
I
,
That
Book
witnesses
against
Swearing
now
to
Christians
.
Judge
and
Officers
.
You
must
lay
your
Hand
upon
the
Book
and
kiss
it
.
Ans.
I
must
lay
my
Hand
upon
my
Heart
when
I
speak
Truth
,
as
I
do
now
.
And
the
Lord
saith
not
that
we
should
kiss
a
Book
,
but
Kiss
the
Son
lest
he
be
angry
.
See
Psalm
2.
last
.
Now
as
concerning
Meetings
.
The
Judge
charged
us
with
meeting
contrary
to
Law
.
We
answered
,
Not
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
.
And
the
Apostles
and
Saints
did
meet
separate
from
the
rest
of
the
People
.
Judge
.
What
are
none
the
People
of
God
but
of
your
Gang
?
And
said
something
of
those
formerly
called
the
Godly
Party
.
Ans.
We
are
manifest
to
that
of
God
in
all
,
to
be
such
as
fear
God
;
and
so
let
us
not
suffer
for
the
Name
,
until
you
can
prove
some
Evil
by
us
.
Judge
.
The
Judge
spoke
of
our
coming
to
that
called
their
Church
,
a
Steeple-house
.
Ans.
And
we
wished
him
to
prove
there
by
Scripture
,
where
Christians
were
limited
,
either
to
that
,
or
to
any
place
whatsoever
.
Which
he
could
not
do
.
And
then
said
I
,
It
's
read
in
Scripture
,
That
Men
should
lift
up
Holy
Hands
to
God
in
every
place
,
without
Wrath
and
Doubting
.
But
for
such
passages
as
these
the
Judge
was
at
length
troubled
,
and
though
he
had
been
moderate
a
good
while
,
yet
he
wanted
all
Patience
,
and
so
thought
to
proceed
against
me
by
the
Act
of
Premunire
;
yet
for
a
little
space
he
was
seemingly
willing
again
to
proceed
with
me
as
with
the
rest
upon
the
new
Act
;
and
so
they
caused
it
to
be
read
,
which
being
done
,
I
was
made
to
say
something
to
this
purpose
,
to
wit
,
It
seems
then
that
your
Intentions
are
to
get
us
from
amongst
you
,
and
if
it
should
be
so
,
that
the
Righteous
were
taken
from
you
,
would
not
God's
Judgments
fall
upon
the
Land
?
And
then
the
Judge
threw
up
all
as
it
were
,
and
spoke
in
anger
to
the
Grand
Jury
to
draw
a
Bill
of
Indictment
against
me
;
and
so
I
was
as
it
were
separate
from
my
Brethren
,
and
set
a-part
for
the
greatest
Sufferings
,
and
that
as
is
said
for
nothing
but
declaring
Truth
,
and
keeping
my
Conscience
pure
to
God
,
and
so
I
was
put
by
for
that
time
.
Again
,
I
was
called
certain
hours
after
up
to
the
Bar
again
,
and
then
was
that
wicked
thing
,
called
an
Indictment
,
framed
and
brought
in
against
me
:
O
what
unchristian
and
unsavoury
things
was
it
fraught
with
,
as
though
I
had
wickedly
and
contemptuously
denied
to
take
that
Oath
called
Allegiance
,
which
was
made
against
Papists
and
Gunpowder
Plotters
:
When
as
the
Lord
knows
I
denied
only
to
Swear
in
Obedience
to
Christ
,
who
saith
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
and
so
to
keep
my
Conscience
pure
to
God
in
the
thing
I
denied
to
Swear
,
and
neither
in
favour
of
Popery
,
nor
in
opposition
to
the
King
,
as
I
had
declared
before
from
the
Truth
of
my
Heart
,
and
the
Judge
himself
was
once
made
to
acknowledge
it
,
as
is
said
before
,
yet
because
I
could
not
lay
my
Hand
on
a
Book
and
kiss
it
,
and
so
commit
Idolatry
,
and
because
I
could
not
say
I
Swear
,
I
Swear
,
or
so
,
they
proceeded
to
bring
in
Sentence
against
me
,
as
if
I
had
been
the
greatest
Offender
in
this
case
that
might
be
;
even
to
Confiscation
of
all
in
the
outward
World
called
Mine
,
whether
Lands
,
Leases
,
Goods
,
Chattels
and
Liberty
,
though
in
the
fight
of
God
,
and
that
just
and
righteous
reasonable
Principle
of
God
in
every
Man
I
stand
clear
,
which
is
my
Joy
.
Yet
before
they
proceeded
to
give
Sentence
,
they
would
make
a
shew
of
Legal
Proceeding
,
but
it
was
only
to
deceive
themselves
withall
,
for
all
others
saw
them
.
And
so
after
they
had
read
that
wicked
Instrument
called
an
Indictment
,
some
words
passed
from
me
in
the
dread
of
the
Lord
;
as
first
,
I
declared
my
Innocency
there
,
as
to
the
thing
charged
upon
me
,
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
God
and
all
Men
;
and
so
warned
the
Judge
to
take
heed
what
he
did
against
an
Innocent
Man
,
for
with
the
same
measure
was
measured
to
others
,
God
would
measure
to
all
Men
again
.
And
so
speaking
again
something
concerning
Swearing
,
the
Judge
said
.
Judge
.
But
what
if
a
Thief
should
rob
you
,
and
deny
it
,
would
you
take
his
word
?
Ans.
I
would
take
his
Word
as
soon
as
his
Oath
;
for
a
Thief
's
Word
and
Oath
are
both
alike
?
Judge
.
But
you
go
up
and
down
Seducing
the
People
.
Ans.
No
,
I
Seduce
none
,
but
desires
that
all
may
be
Saved
;
and
do
endeavour
,
wherein
I
may
,
to
help
all
People
out
of
Darkness
into
Light
;
and
so
from
under
Satan's
Power
to
God
.
And
the
Apostles
did
not
Evil
,
in
going
up
and
down
upon
so
good
an
Account
.
Judge
.
But
how
should
we
know
that
you
are
an
Apostle
?
Ans.
What
I
am
by
my
Fruits
may
be
known
.
Judge
.
But
prove
your self
to
us
to
be
an
Apostle
.
Ans.
If
the
Truth
which
I
declare
,
and
my
innocent
Life
,
will
not
satisfie
concerning
what
I
am
,
I
must
rest
satisfied
in
God's
Will
;
and
what
you
know
not
,
or
cannot
believe
now
,
God
may
reveal
it
to
you
:
So
be
not
hasty
in
doing
any
thing
against
me
.
But
the
Apostle
Paul
himself
,
could
not
so
prove
himself
,
as
to
satisfie
all
of
his
Apostleship
,
for
saith
he
to
some
,
Though
I
be
not
an
Apostle
to
others
,
yet
I
am
to
you
.
Judge
.
But
is
Christ
in
none
but
you
?
Ans.
Yea
,
in
thee
also
,
except
thou
be
a
Reprobate
.
Judge
.
But
you
see
here
is
a
Law
.
Ans.
But
it
's
not
safe
for
any
to
act
by
a
Law
,
unless
it
be
according
to
God
:
For
those
in
Queen
Mary's
time
,
that
burn'd
People
about
things
called
Religion
,
did
it
by
Pretence
of
a
Law
,
or
under
colour
of
a
Law
or
so
;
yet
it
is
now
held
(
as
it
was
indeed
)
by
all
Protestants
,
to
be
an
unjust
thing
they
did
.
Judge
.
But
you
have
been
in
Prison
before
now
.
Ans.
Yea
,
for
Truths
sake
.
Here
it
may
be
observed
,
how
this
Judge
,
being
a
meer
Stranger
to
me
,
could
know
this
;
for
immediate
Revelation
of
God
he
pretends
not
to
:
Then
how
came
he
by
this
knowledge
,
but
even
by
the
Whisperings
of
the
Enemies
of
Truth
,
and
of
my
Soul
,
who
were
not
far
off
,
nor
wanting
to
whisper
anything
into
his
Ear
,
that
might
help
on
the
Matter
against
the
Innocent
.
Judge
.
But
how
many
Prisons
have
you
been
in
?
This
observe
he
ask'd
temptingly
.
Ans.
In
several
for
the
Truths
sake
.
Judge
.
But
why
will
you
not
tell
me
?
Do
you
not
say
your
Yea
is
Yea
,
and
your
Nay
,
Nay
,
or
so
?
Ans.
Yea
,
my
Yea
is
Yea
,
and
my
Nay
is
Nay
,
when
I
speak
;
but
I
am
not
bound
by
the
Lord
;
to
speak
at
every
Man's
Will
.
Then
hereabouts
the
Judge
proceeded
towards
the
end
,
and
though
I
had
declared
my
Innocency
in
the
thing
before
,
yet
he
asked
according
to
their
Custom
,
Guilty
or
Not
Guilty
.
Ans.
Here
I
being
kept
silent
for
a
time
,
waiting
in
the
Will
of
God
,
at
length
these
words
came
to
me
,
and
passed
through
me
.
He
was
led
as
a
Sheep
before
the
Shearer
,
and
as
a
Lamb
dumb
before
the
Slaughterer
,
and
he
opened
not
his
mouth
.
At
which
words
,
though
they
in
the
Darkness
were
something
troubled
,
yet
the
Judge
proceeded
and
said
,
Judge
.
If
you
will
not
answer
,
we
will
take
it
pro
confesso
,
you
know
what
that
is
,
&c.
Here
the
Simple
may
take
notice
,
that
to
take
a
thing
pro
confesso
,
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
They
take
it
for
granted
.
Ans.
Then
I
perceiving
,
in
the
Light
of
the
Lord
,
what
their
purpose
was
,
I
said
something
to
this
purpose
in
the
Peace
of
my
Spirit
.
It
's
manifest
enough
how
things
are
,
and
so
you
may
proceed
,
if
it
seem
good
to
you
,
the
Lord
will
reward
every
Man
according
to
his
Deeds
.
Judge
.
But
what
say
you
to
the
Jury
?
&c.
Ans.
It
's
not
like
that
a
Jury
,
or
a
Company
of
Swearing
Men
,
will
do
any
thing
for
me
,
who
am
for
Christ's
Command
against
Swearing
:
For
I
could
wish
that
they
,
and
all
Men
,
would
speak
Truth
without
Swearing
.
Here
I
was
put
away
from
the
Bar
for
that
time
also
.
The
next
day
being
called
up
to
the
Bar
,
amongst
Felons
,
Thieves
and
Murtherers
,
that
the
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled
,
the
Judge
prepared
to
give
Sentence
against
the
Servants
of
God
,
called
by
the
World
Quakers
;
we
being
four
in
number
,
now
brought
together
,
though
separate
for
a
time
:
And
he
caused
me
to
be
first
called
up
and
spoken
to
,
as
being
all
along
accounted
the
greatest
Offender
,
because
God
had
pleased
to
make
use
of
me
in
his
Service
,
more
than
of
some
others
.
Judge
.
He
,
to
wit
,
the
Judge
,
asked
me
,
If
I
had
considered
of
things
.
Ans.
Yea
,
and
it
's
my
daily
Work
in
Christ
,
to
keep
my
Conscience
pure
to
God
:
And
I
perceive
what
is
purposed
by
you
,
if
I
yield
not
to
Man's
Will
,
contrary
to
that
in
my
Conscience
in
this
thing
,
even
the
loss
of
what
is
called
mine
in
the
outward
World
,
&c.
But
that
Law
was
made
against
Papists
,
&c.
Judge
.
But
not
only
against
them
.
And
so
caused
that
Stat.
7
Jac.
to
be
read
.
Ans.
But
I
look
at
the
words
of
the
Oath
,
and
it
appears
plainly
it
was
made
against
them
.
Yet
I
do
not
hear
that
it
is
executed
against
any
of
them
now
,
though
they
be
the
Parties
thereby
intended
.
Judge
.
You
may
be
Jesuitical
or
so
.
Ans.
Concerning
Popery
,
I
have
truly
declared
against
it
before
,
and
I
have
it
under
their
own
hand
,
that
we
,
called
Quakers
,
are
accounted
by
them
their
worst
Adversaries
.
And
I
have
also
by
me
to
shew
,
in
seventeen
main
Particulars
,
wherein
we
are
made
by
the
Truth
to
oppose
them
in
their
Way
or
Religion
.
And
so
I
say
,
what
thou
dost
against
me
consider
,
and
fear
the
Lord
God
,
for
if
thou
be
a
means
of
taking
that
from
me
which
my
Wife
and
Children
should
outwardly
live
on
,
and
put
it
into
the
King's
Treasures
,
it
will
not
be
a
Blessing
there
,
but
a
Curse
,
for
I
openly
declare
,
that
if
I
Suffer
now
upon
this
account
,
or
so
,
it
is
for
the
Truths
sake
.
And
so
do
what
thou
dost
in
the
fear
of
the
Lord
.
Judge
.
Here
he
said
faintly
,
I
hope
I
do
,
and
I
am
loath
to
do
it
.
Ans.
Mind
that
which
makes
thee
loath
to
do
it
,
and
it
will
never
suffer
thee
to
do
it
.
Yet
notwithstanding
this
he
broke
through
all
,
and
gave
Sentence
against
the
Innocent
,
and
so
filled
up
his
measure
,
adjudging
me
to
the
loss
of
outward
Estate
,
Liberty
or
so
,
and
all
this
,
as
is
said
,
meerly
for
Truths
sake
.
Then
it
came
through
me
,
The
Lord
gives
,
and
the
Lord
takes
away
,
Blessed
be
the
Name
of
the
Lord
.
Then
being
spoken
unto
to
go
away
from
the
Bar
,
as
I
was
going
down
,
it
was
fresh
in
me
,
as
from
the
Lord
God
,
to
exhort
them
on
the
Bench
,
&c.
to
Repentance
,
and
to
take
heed
of
such
Doings
as
these
,
for
which
,
and
the
like
,
a
great
Cloud
of
Judgments
hang
over
the
Land
.
And
so
staying
amongst
the
rest
of
the
Prisoners
,
till
they
were
all
dismissed
and
sending
away
,
it
was
further
upon
me
from
the
Lord
,
in
the
Peace
of
my
Spirit
,
and
pitty
to
their
Souls
,
to
look
upon
the
great
Multitude
of
People
there
present
,
and
to
speak
to
them
,
to
mind
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
and
the
Day
of
their
Visitation
,
and
to
turn
to
the
Lord
whilst
they
had
time
,
or
so
.
And
for
this
Work
of
the
Lord
,
the
Judge
,
and
some
other
great
ones
there
,
were
all
so
troubled
;
and
so
I
was
commanded
and
carried
away
,
and
down
out
of
the
Hall
into
the
Street
towards
the
Goal
:
And
then
the
Word
of
the
Lord
arose
in
me
in
great
Majesty
,
Dread
and
Power
,
and
went
forth
amongst
the
Multitudes
of
People
there
,
and
to
all
People
in
the
way
to
the
very
Goal
door
,
to
let
all
Workers
of
Iniquity
know
of
the
dreadful
and
terrible
Day
of
the
Lord
,
that
is
risen
and
arising
,
and
come
and
coming
upon
them
,
to
leave
all
without
Excuse
:
And
to
let
those
also
that
fear
God
,
know
of
the
Love
of
God
to
their
Souls
.
And
so
I
was
received
into
Prison
,
where
I
rest
a
Free-man
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
Blessed
for
ever
more
.
The
other
three
of
my
Brethren
were
Fined
,
two
of
them
Five
Pounds
a
piece
,
and
the
other
Twenty
Shillings
,
because
they
had
been
together
with
some
other
Friends
of
the
Truth
at
a
Meeting
,
to
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
to
hear
his
Voice
,
and
to
Pray
for
the
Peace
of
Jerusalem
according
to
Scripture
.
Something
might
be
said
also
of
the
Nakedness
and
Wretchedness
of
their
Judges
and
Prosecutors
,
in
their
Proceedings
against
them
in
this
Matter
,
but
hoping
of
their
Repentance
,
it
may
be
let
alone
here
.
The
Fine
for
not
putting
off
our
Hats
,
mentioned
in
the
beginning
,
it
seems
fell
and
came
to
nothing
,
for
we
heard
no
more
of
it
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
the
Jury
men
of
Stafford
,
that
brought
him
in
Guilty
.
YOU
that
are
to
be
the
Jury
,
to
bring
in
that
called
the
Verdict
concerning
the
Servant
of
the
Lord
Thomas
Taylor
;
I
say
,
before
you
conclude
any
thing
,
consider
in
the
Fear
of
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
what
you
do
:
You
have
heard
things
Debated
,
and
you
may
know
,
and
that
in
your
Consciences
will
also
tell
you
,
that
I
am
not
really
Guilty
of
the
Breach
of
that
Law
,
concerning
that
Oath
called
Allegiance
:
For
it
was
made
,
as
you
may
see
,
expresly
against
the
Papists
,
who
hold
,
it
seems
,
such
wicked
things
against
Kings
as
is
there
expressed
.
But
you
might
or
should
hear
,
that
I
declared
against
them
,
yea
,
and
my
Declaration
was
from
the
Truth
of
the
Heart
,
the
Searcher
of
Hearts
knows
it
:
And
I
also
expressed
my
real
Innocency
and
good
Desires
concerning
the
King
,
and
all
Men
:
Insomuch
that
the
Judge
himself
confessed
,
I
had
as
it
were
confessed
to
the
thing
in
the
Substance
.
And
so
you
may
see
,
if
I
Suffer
,
it
is
for
Formalities
,
and
not
for
Substance
.
For
I
believe
,
that
that
Custom
of
Swearing
upon
,
and
Kissing
,
a
Book
,
was
first
invented
in
the
Dark
Time
of
Popery
,
when
Mens
Minds
were
wholly
,
as
it
were
,
alienated
from
the
Life
and
pure
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
gone
into
Idolatry
.
And
so
be
not
ye
guilty
of
Sinning
against
God
in
this
Matter
?
Neither
let
any
of
you
have
a
hand
in
Oppressing
a
Man
and
his
House
,
a
Man
and
his
Family
;
For
if
you
be
wise
you
will
see
,
that
taking
that
which
God
hath
lent
me
in
this
World
,
for
the
Service
of
my
Outward
Man
and
Family
,
will
not
be
a
Blessing
in
the
King's
Treasures
;
For
it
's
Righteousness
upholds
the
King's
Throne
,
and
nothing
of
the
contrary
.
So
rests
in
the
Will
of
God
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
King
Charles
the
Second
.
On
the
Third
Day
of
the
Fifth
Month
,
One
Thousand
Six
Hundred
Sixty
and
One
,
in
the
Morning
,
the
Movings
of
God
were
in
me
,
to
the
effect
following
to
Write
.
AND
now
,
O
Charles
Stuart
,
King
in
these
Islands
,
whose
height
is
grown
great
,
and
who
art
in
the
Heart
of
a
Multitude
,
as
if
thou
wert
some
Deity
;
unto
thee
,
and
to
thy
Nobles
,
thy
Councils
,
thy
Parliaments
,
thy
Judges
,
and
Justices
,
and
all
under
Officers
of
that
Nature
:
Thy
Bishops
and
Clergy
(
so
called
)
and
all
Officers
and
under
Officers
of
that
Nature
:
And
to
thy
Captains
of
Hundreds
and
Thousands
,
and
all
under
Officers
of
that
Nature
;
unto
you
all
,
saith
the
Son
of
God
,
who
is
King
of
Kings
,
and
Lord
of
Lords
,
and
dreadful
over
all
,
whose
Eye
is
as
a
flame
of
Fire
,
who
came
not
to
send
Peace
on
the
cursed
Earth
,
but
a
Sword
,
and
whose
Sword
never
returns
empty
from
the
Battle
;
unto
you
all
I
say
,
saith
the
Holy
One
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
Do
not
I
see
your
ways
,
and
your
doings
,
both
what
you
have
done
,
and
what
you
do
;
yea
,
do
not
I
search
and
see
your
Hearts
and
Reins
,
and
know
what
you
would
do
?
O!
consider
,
consider
,
do
you
know
that
I
am
near
when
you
sit
in
Council
,
and
work
all
your
Works
,
even
your
darkest
Works
,
and
take
notice
of
them
,
and
treasures
them
up
in
my
remembrance
,
to
give
to
every
Man
according
to
his
Ways
,
and
the
fruit
of
his
Doings
?
Do
not
I
know
that
you
all
in
Words
profess
me
,
and
call
me
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
and
say
,
I
am
your
Saviour
;
but
alas
,
alas
,
you
will
none
of
me
to
Rule
in
you
,
and
over
you
;
nay
,
nay
,
you
ask
not
Counsel
at
my
Spirit
,
and
so
are
not
for
my
Honour
in
what
you
bring
forth
.
Only
sometimes
,
when
my
witness
is
reached
in
you
,
a
little
is
done
by
some
of
you
for
my
Babes
;
but
then
your
Goodness
stays
not
,
but
passeth
away
like
the
early
Dew
,
and
then
your
evil
Hearts
turn
back
again
from
me
,
and
then
you
take
Counsel
one
at
another
how
to
establish
your
own
Kingdom
,
Wills
.
Glory
,
and
Greatness
,
which
is
of
this
World
,
and
regard
not
my
Honour
,
my
Glory
,
my
People
,
who
fear
before
me
;
and
with
Moses
and
all
my
Saints
do
quake
and
tremble
at
my
Word
,
but
suffers
them
to
be
a
Prey
to
many
,
and
lets
mine
Enemies
go
free
amongst
you
.
What
shall
Drunkards
,
Sweaters
,
Morrice-Dancers
,
Stage-players
,
Gamesters
of
all
sorts
,
and
Hypocrites
of
all
sorts
,
have
liberty
to
meet
together
to
dishonour
my
Name
,
without
danger
and
fear
;
and
my
Babes
only
who
meet
together
to
wait
upon
me
to
glorifie
my
Name
,
sand
to
edifie
one
another
in
the
most
Holy
Faith
,
be
threatned
,
stocked
,
and
haled
before
the
Judgment-Seats
,
and
be
Imprisoned
,
as
though
they
only
were
the
burden
of
the
Land
?
Shall
I
not
visit
for
these
things
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
shall
not
my
Soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
Nation
and
People
as
this
.
O!
how
hath
the
Enemy
of
the
Soul
deceived
you
,
in
making
you
believe
,
that
you
are
setting
up
my
Kingdom
and
Gospel
,
when
you
are
fetting
up
your
own
Nests
on
high
,
and
going
about
to
establish
your
own
Traditions
.
My
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
but
that
which
you
set
up
is
of
this
World
.
My
Worship
stands
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
yours
in
Form
and
Shadows
,
and
outward
Shew
,
which
the
Hypocrites
for
self-ends
can
fast
enough
run
into
.
My
way
is
in
a
daily
cross
to
all
Flesh
;
yours
in
the
Will
and
Liberty
of
the
Flesh
.
O
the
burden
,
the
burden
that
I
bear
of
you
!
O
the
weight
that
you
are
unto
my
Spirit
!
O
the
cry
,
the
cry
and
deep
Groans
of
my
oppressed
Seed
amongst
you
,
because
of
your
Iniquities
!
O!
consider
,
consider
,
what
is
lately
come
to
pass
concerning
Oliver
Cromwel
and
his
House
,
and
his
Friends
and
Flatterers
;
and
shall
not
my
Hand
find
out
you
,
if
you
be
found
in
their
Ways
,
or
worse
?
Did
I
visit
(
amongst
other
things
)
for
the
several
Excesses
committed
about
him
in
the
time
of
his
Life
and
Greatness
,
and
especially
for
that
at
his
Death
,
and
shall
I
not
visit
for
the
several
Excesses
and
Wastings
of
my
Creatures
about
thee
,
O
Charles
Stuart
,
in
these
late
Months
,
especially
about
that
of
thy
Proclamation
and
Coronation
,
saith
the
Lord
God
?
Lay
things
to
Heart
ye
forgetful
and
stout-hearted
Children
.
What
can
you
say
that
was
Evil
and
Oppressive
in
their
Days
,
and
is
not
as
yet
amended
in
yours
?
I
the
Lord
look
for
Judgment
and
Righteousness
from
you
:
I
look
that
you
should
make
use
of
my
Power
for
the
encouragement
and
help
of
them
that
love
me
,
and
fear
my
Name
in
the
Lands
,
and
not
of
their
Oppressors
:
I
will
call
you
and
all
Nations
quickly
to
account
for
all
things
.
I
will
not
be
always
(
saith
the
Lord
)
as
one
that
sleepeth
or
winketh
.
I
will
arise
,
I
will
come
in
mine
eternal
dreadful
Power
amongst
you
,
O
Sinners
and
Hypocrites
in
these
Islands
,
and
in
all
the
Earth
!
I
have
been
long
as
a
gentle
Lamb
,
and
little
oppressed
Child
amongst
you
!
I
will
now
arise
!
I
will
put
on
Zeal
as
a
Cloak
,
and
will
cloth
my self
with
Garments
of
Vengeance
,
and
will
roar
from
my
Holy
Hill
,
and
will
be
as
a
Lyon
,
and
as
a
fierce
Lyon
amongst
you
to
take
a
Prey
!
And
all
your
false
Shepherds
and
pretended
Watchmen
with
their
false
Instruments
shall
not
frey
me
,
nor
in
the
least
dismay
me
,
nor
deliver
the
Prey
out
of
my
hands
:
Neither
will
I
hear
their
false
Cry
and
Prayers
,
nor
regard
their
deceitful
Fastings
to
do
them
good
,
who
now
in
this
day
of
my
Visitation
will
none
of
my
Counsels
,
but
at
naught
set
all
my
Love
,
and
evil
entreat
my
dear
Servants
who
mourn
amongst
them
,
and
in
much
tenderness
warn
them
to
Repentance
.
But
oh
!
oh
ye
Mu●●●de
of
tall
Cedars
,
ye
strong
Oaks
,
I
will
raise
up
a
strong
Wind
amongst
you
,
and
your
high
tops
shall
dash
against
and
split
one
another
;
and
with
your
fall
shall
the
great
multitude
of
Bramble
Bushes
,
Briar-Trees
,
and
low
creeping
Shrubs
,
who
admire
and
adore
your
Height
and
Greatness
,
and
tremble
at
you
,
but
not
at
me
,
(
saith
the
Lord
)
shall
be
crushed
down
,
together
with
you
,
in
your
Fall
.
But
Israel
shall
do
Valiantly
,
and
your
Fall
shall
be
as
a
Resurrection
to
my
dear
Seed
;
and
I
will
do
Valiantly
,
saith
the
God
of
the
Spirits
of
all
Flesh
,
for
all
that
wait
for
me
,
and
love
mine
appearance
.
For
Time
is
mine
,
and
Place
is
mine
,
and
I
will
not
be
limited
(
saith
the
Lord
)
and
my
Servants
shall
serve
me
,
World
without
End
;
and
that
which
hath
not
been
seen
,
shall
be
known
in
the
Earth
,
and
Iniquity
shall
stop
her
Mouth
!
And
Israel's
Liberty
shall
be
proclaimed
over
all
the
Earth
.
And
all
Holy
Praises
by
the
Lord's
Redeemed
and
Ransomed
ones
shall
be
founded
forth
unto
his
Name
for
ever
,
as
it
is
by
the
living
in
Jerusalem
at
this
day
;
Even
so
come
Lord
Jesus
,
come
quickly
,
saith
my
Spirit
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
Thus
much
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
(
who
desireth
not
,
nor
delighteth
not
in
the
Death
of
Sinners
,
but
rather
that
they
might
amend
their
Lives
and
live
)
was
willing
to
have
the
King
and
his
Servants
to
know
,
which
might
,
according
to
its
date
,
have
come
sooner
to
your
hands
,
if
it
had
been
so
ordered
;
but
if
it
yet
be
ordered
to
come
,
I
beseech
you
in
the
Bowels
of
Love
,
as
a
Servant
of
God
,
not
to
slight
it
,
but
weigh
it
well
in
the
true
Love
and
Light
that
searcheth
all
things
,
and
it
may
be
yet
serviceable
to
you
;
for
truly
Wrath
from
the
Lord
is
gone
out
against
you
,
and
how
can
it
be
turned
back
but
by
a
speedy
Repentance
of
those
Evils
for
which
it
is
gone
forth
;
and
by
calling
in
all
such
Acts
and
Decrees
as
are
gone
forth
,
either
before
or
since
its
Writing
;
whereby
the
pure
Seed
of
God
,
in
these
Islands
,
either
have
been
,
or
may
be
imbondaged
,
and
the
good
Spirit
of
God
limited
,
For
it
is
not
fit
that
the
Lord
God
of
Glory
should
be
stinted
or
limited
in
his
Way
:
For
he
is
a
free
Spirit
,
and
will
not
be
tyed
or
bound
up
to
any
outward
Form
whatsoever
,
but
will
have
his
People
Worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
and
to
be
acted
forth
in
the
World
,
in
such
a
form
●s
he
himself
,
by
his
Holy
Spirit
pleaseth
to
order
them
unto
.
And
this
is
,
was
,
and
ever
must
be
the
order
of
the
true
Church
in
God
built
up
of
lively
Stones
,
Elect
and
Precious
of
Abraham's
Seed
〈…〉
for
ever
.
By
a
Servant
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
a
Well-wisher
to
th●
〈…〉
and
all
People
upon
Earth
,
earnestly
desiring
the
Welfare
of
all
God's
Creation
,
that
it
may
be
delivered
from
the
Bondage
of
Corruption
;
and
my
Weapons
are
not
Carnal
but
Spiritual
;
For
if
my
Enemy
Hunger
I
am
taught
to
feed
him
,
if
he
Thirst
,
to
give
him
Drink
;
if
he
seek
to
do
me
any
Evil
,
to
overcome
his
Evil
with
Goodness
,
as
the
Lord
hath
dealt
with
me
,
and
not
to
avenge
my self
,
because
it
belongs
to
the
Lord
God
for
ever
,
who
is
worthy
of
all
pure
Obedience
for
evermore
.

Against
Lotteries
.
IS
it
not
sad
,
O
all
People
!
to
see
such
wicked
and
deceitful
Inventions
as
these
Lotteries
still
on
Foot
,
and
passing
too
and
fro
in
the
Land
uncontrouled
,
after
all
the
late
Manifestations
of
God's
Anger
against
the
Nation
and
People
thereof
?
O!
when
will
People
lay
God's
Judgments
to
Heart
,
and
cease
to
Cousen
and
Deceive
one
another
!
Is
there
any
so
blind
that
they
see
not
these
filthy
things
called
Lotteries
,
to
be
one
of
those
Abominations
that
have
come
out
of
the
bottomless
Pit
to
deceive
the
People
withal
,
and
so
to
defile
the
Nations
,
to
the
pulling
down
God's
heavy
Judments
upon
you
?
O
all
People
who
are
either
the
Inventers
or
Upholders
of
them
,
so
cease
,
cease
,
from
all
such
sinful
and
ungodly
Things
,
whose
Foundation
is
Covetousness
,
the
very
Root
of
all
Evil
,
and
mind
the
fear
of
the
Lord
God
,
lest
the
day
of
his
Patience
pass
away
from
you
,
and
you
be
shut
up
in
that
woful
Darkness
,
and
Hell
of
Misery
for
all
your
Sins
,
where
is
nothing
but
weeping
and
wailing
and
gnashing
of
Teeth
,
for
evermore
.
Rests
a
Witness
for
God
,
in
his
Power
against
the
Sin
of
all
People
,
without
respect
of
Persons
,
and
blessed
are
all
who
take
warning
betime
,
for
the
Lord
is
arisen
out
of
his
Holy
Place
,
to
ease
him
of
all
his
Adversities
.

To
Stafford
.
O
Stafford
!
Stafford
!
thy
Judgment
lingreth
not
,
thy
Condemnation
slumbreth
not
,
thine
Iniquity
aboundeth
,
and
thy
Transgressions
are
multiplied
daily
as
the
Sand
of
the
Sea
;
yea
,
thou
makes
haste
to
fill
up
the
measure
of
thine
Iniquities
,
that
the
Indignation
,
when
it
cometh
,
and
behold
it
cometh
swiftly
,
and
the
Wrath
of
the
Almighty
,
whom
thou
hast
grieved
,
may
be
seen
justly
to
come
upon
thee
in
the
sight
of
all
!
O
the
mighty
Patience
and
Long
sufferance
of
God
hath
been
great
towards
thee
,
in
sparing
thee
hitherto
〈◊〉
but
thou
hast
not
at
all
answered
the
Goodness
of
God
towards
thee
;
thou
art
a
Stage
for
all
manner
of
Sin
and
Sinners
to
act
their
Part
in
thee
,
and
thou
a
Partaker
with
the
Ungodly
in
all
their
Ways
;
and
so
must
thou
assuredly
partake
with
them
of
their
Plagues
,
as
sure
as
ever
thou
hast
been
of
one
Mind
and
Heart
with
them
in
their
Sin
;
O
the
ha●d-heartedness
of
thine
Inhabitants
,
that
could
never
Repent
,
nor
lay
things
to
Heart
for
your
good
,
unto
this
Day
,
nor
say
within
your selves
,
What
have
we
done
?
though
the
Lord
hath
made
me
a
Warner
and
a
Reprover
unto
you
all
,
this
Fifteen
Years
,
both
by
Words
and
Writing
,
in
Love
,
Truth
,
and
Faithfulness
,
that
your
Souls
might
live
and
not
dye
;
shewing
unto
you
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
,
that
you
might
Repent
and
turn
from
them
;
but
you
would
not
hear
,
nor
amend
your
Lives
to
this
Day
,
but
have
increased
your
Sins
as
the
Old
World
,
whom
God
destroyed
with
Water
,
and
Sodom
,
whom
the
Lord
consumed
with
Fire
;
and
like
Jerusalem
,
whom
God
gave
into
the
hands
of
a
cruel
Enemy
,
for
all
their
mighty
Sins
,
over
whom
the
Prophet
Jeremiah
lamented
,
because
they
would
not
hear
;
and
over
whom
Christ
wept
,
because
they
would
not
believe
:
And
so
my
Soul
hath
long
,
and
yet
shall
weep
in
Secret
for
your
Pride
,
if
you
will
not
now
at
length
,
before
it
be
too
late
,
humble
your selves
,
and
repent
of
all
your
unholy
Ways
and
Worships
,
whereby
God's
Soul
is
burden'd
for
you
,
are
most
manifestly
of
those
that
say
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
in
a
dead
form
of
words
,
out
do
not
at
all
what
he
by
his
Spirit
requires
of
you
,
but
the
contrary
,
and
so
you
taking
his
Holy
Name
so
manifoldly
in
vain
,
he
will
not
hold
you
guiltless
in
his
Judgment
Day
;
so
wo
,
wo
,
will
unavoidable
be
your
Portion
from
the
Lord
God
,
and
everlasting
Banishment
from
his
Holy
Presence
of
Life
,
except
(
as
is
said
)
ye
speedily
Repent
in
the
deepest
Humility
and
Godly
Fear
,
as
saith
his
Spirit
in
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
the
Mayor
of
Stafford
.
AND
now
to
the
Mayor
of
Stafford
,
who
so
busieth
and
trouble●h
himself
,
without
cause
,
about
the
Harmless
and
Peaceable
Meetings
of
the
People
of
God
in
their
own
Houses
;
if
he
would
get
true
Praise
with
God
and
good
Men
,
and
Comfort
to
his
own
Soul
,
let
him
look
into
the
Streets
,
and
open
places
of
the
Town
,
and
use
his
Authority
,
to
the
restraining
and
hindering
of
that
great
Wickedness
,
and
abominable
Debauchery
,
and
Heathenish
Practices
,
that
are
committed
there
,
at
such
times
as
these
called
Christmas
,
i.
e.
in
the
face
of
the
Sun
.
And
let
him
now
stand
up
for
God
,
who
is
grieved
and
burthened
with
such
things
,
if
he
would
find
Mercy
to
his
Soul
;
for
an
Account
to
God
must
all
give
of
their
Stewardship
:
For
what
bad
Customs
shall
one
find
amongst
the
Heathens
,
which
at
such
times
as
these
are
not
practiced
by
the
People
of
England
,
who
in
words
profess
Christ
.
But
alas
what
will
such
a
Profession
do
,
where
the
Life
and
Power
of
Godliliness
is
wanting
.
Rests

Servant

For
them
that
Rule
in
Stafford
.
O
Unrighteous
People
!
What
will
ye
do
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
when
the
Just
and
Holy
God
,
who
lives
for
Ever
,
doth
call
you
20
Account
for
all
your
doings
?
Do
you
judge
it
an
Evil
,
and
punishable
by
the
Law
,
for
one
of
us
,
though
never
so
truly
moved
of
God
to
come
amongst
you
,
when
you
are
at
your
Worship
,
to
speak
a
few
words
in
a
peaceable
manner
for
your
good
,
and
yet
can
see
no
Evil
in
your selves
,
to
come
in
great
Companies
amongst
us
the
People
of
God
,
when
we
are
gathered
together
to
worship
God
in
his
own
free
Spirit
,
as
he
hath
taught
us
,
and
not
only
speak
to
us
,
but
hawl
,
and
pull
us
hither
and
thither
,
some
one
way
,
some
another
,
without
all
Fear
of
God
,
yea
,
though
you
find
us
on
our
Knees
praying
to
God
,
or
other
wise
preaching
the
Everlasting
Gospel
?
O
how
is
it
that
you
never
seriously
lay
these
things
to
Heart
,
and
smite
upon
your
Thigh
in
Godly
Sorrow
,
saying
,
What
have
we
done
?
How
have
we
Transgressed
God's
Righteous
Law
?
How
shall
we
stand
before
the
Judgment-seat
of
Jesus
Christ
,
where
all
must
appear
,
as
well
the
High
as
the
Low
?
Doth
not
Christ
the
Judge
say
,
Whatsoever
ye
would
that
Men
should
do
to
you
,
even
so
do
ye
to
them
,
for
this
is
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
?
And
therefore
never
boast
of
such
a
Law
and
Religion
as
is
not
one
with
the
Law
and
Prophets
of
God
;
to
the
Witness
of
God
in
you
all
I
speak
,
Would
ye
be
done
unto
your selves
as
you
do
by
us
in
the
foresaid
Business
?
Nay
,
nay
,
we
see
by
Experience
the
contrary
.
And
so
you
think
to
carry
things
on
with
a
high
Hand
,
but
God
is
higher
than
all
,
therefore
fear
him
;
for
if
you
still
go
on
offending
against
God
,
who
shall
plead
for
you
?
O
say
not
within
your selves
,
We
have
Power
,
and
therefore
who
shall
question
us
,
and
controul
us
?
I
say
,
there
is
no
true
Power
but
of
God
,
and
to
him
you
must
give
Account
for
it
;
and
the
true
Power
is
for
the
praise
and
protecting
of
them
that
do
so
well
,
as
to
Worship
God
in
his
Good
Spirit
and
Truth
,
as
Blessed
be
the
Lord
we
do
;
and
all
our
Adversaries
never
could
,
nor
never
can
,
make
it
appear
to
the
contrary
.
And
so
you
that
are
in
Power
,
see
that
your
Law
be
laid
upon
the
Lawless
,
and
not
upon
the
Innocent
,
lest
their
Cry
come
up
into
the
Ears
of
the
Lord
against
you
,
and
your
Power
be
taken
from
you
for
your
Abuse
of
it
;
for
the
Lord's
Heart
is
for
the
Righteous
,
and
against
the
Evil-doers
in
all
Generations
,
without
respect
of
Persons
:
Rests
your
Soul's
Friend
,
though
for
my
Good-will
to
you
I
be
too
much
hated
by
you
;
but
for
you
I
can
say
,
praised
be
the
Lord
,
Father
forgive
them
,
they
do
not
well
know
what
they
do
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
So
be
not
Proud
,
for
the
Lord
hath
spoken
,
and
a
Consumption
from
the
Lord
will
certainly
come
upon
all
that
will
not
know
God
nor
be
subject
to
the
Gospel
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
To
the
Kings
and
Rulers
.
O
Ye
Kings
and
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
who
profess
the
Name
of
God
and
Christ
,
ought
ye
not
to
Rule
for
God
and
Christ
,
to
whom
ye
must
give
Account
of
your
Stewardship
?
And
do
you
not
read
in
the
Scripture
of
Truth
,
that
it
is
said
,
All
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
is
given
to
Christ
,
and
he
doth
what
he
sees
good
in
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
all
his
Ways
are
Righteousness
and
Holiness
for
Ever
;
and
that
without
him
ye
can
do
nothing
;
ought
ye
not
therefore
to
take
Counsel
at
his
Spirit
in
all
things
,
and
so
to
be
very
Careful
that
you
do
nothing
against
him
,
nor
his
Children
;
for
this
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Supream
and
Great
Ruler
over
all
,
hath
a
Generation
of
Just
Men
and
Women
upon
the
Earth
,
who
are
his
Children
,
and
as
near
and
dear
to
him
as
the
Apple
of
his
Eye
;
and
he
that
offends
the
least
of
these
,
offends
against
a
Member
of
Christ's
Body
,
and
he
will
Recompence
Tribulation
to
such
as
Trouble
them
;
and
every
Knee
to
him
shall
bow
,
for
God
respects
no
Man's
Person
;
he
is
higher
than
Agag
;
and
King
Saul
himself
,
though
he
be
taller
by
the
Head
than
any
Man
in
Israel
,
must
down
if
he
disobey
God's
Voice
;
and
the
Mighty
Kingdom
from
Rehoboam
must
be
rent
,
if
he
take
Counsel
of
the
Wicked
to
Oppress
God's
Heritage
;
and
Great
Nebuchadnezzar
into
a
Beast
shall
be
turned
,
if
he
grow
Proud
,
and
Rob
God
of
his
Honour
;
and
Overturned
shall
all
Kingdoms
be
,
who
Rule
not
in
Righteousness
;
for
the
Lord
is
determined
that
Truth
and
Righteousness-shall
Rule
and
have
Dominion
upon
the
Earth
,
and
nothing
else
,
and
that
Nation
and
People
that
will
not
now
submit
to
Truth
's
Scepter
,
shall
come
to
nought
.
And
seeing
the
Apostle
saith
,
That
such
Magistrates
as
are
God's
Ordinance
,
are
a
Terror
to
evil
Doers
,
and
a
Praise
to
such
as
do
well
:
Then
whose
are
they
that
do
altogether
discourage
the
Good
,
and
encourage
the
Evil
?
They
must
needs
be
of
the
Number
of
those
for
whom
the
Lord
by
his
Prophet
complains
of
against
Israel
,
saying
,
They
have
set
up
Kings
,
but
not
by
me
;
and
Princes
,
but
I
knew
it
not
.
These
Kings
and
Princes
were
such
as
set
up
and
carried
on
Idolatry
in
those
days
,
and
were
even
made
glad
with
the
Lyes
of
the
False
Priests
and
Prophets
;
For
in
that
day
,
as
Troops
of
Robbers
waited
for
a
Man
,
so
the
Company
of
Priests
murthered
in
the
way
by
consent
.
See
Hos.
6.9
.
And
in
the
days
of
those
Kings
,
saith
Daniel
,
shall
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
set
up
a
Kingdom
,
and
it
shall
be
for
ever
.
And
ought
not
all
People
,
who
profess
Christ
,
and
hope
to
have
Benefit
and
Comfort
by
his
Appearance
and
Kingdom
,
to
search
,
and
see
how
they
may
come
into
Favour
with
this
King
,
and
be
Heirs
of
this
Kingdom
?
For
behold
I
shew
you
a
Mystery
,
every
Subject
of
this
Kingdom
,
is
an
Heir
of
this
Kingdom
.

Concerning
his
being
taken
Prisoner
of
seven
Years
Continuance
.
THomas
Taylor
,
Prisoner
of
the
Lord
,
who
oweth
nothing
but
Love
and
Good-will
to
the
Creation
of
God
,
hath
been
a
Sufferer
here
at
Stafford
,
for
no
Evil
at
all
,
but
because
in
Conscience
to
God
he
could
not
Swear
,
above
seven
whole
Years
,
being
taken
as
I
was
on
my
Journey
with
my
Wife
,
as
I
was
going
into
Worcestershire
to
see
a
Son
that
we
had
Apprentice
there
;
and
so
the
two
Men
called
Justice
Layn
and
Justice
Pierchouse
,
being
put
on
(
it
seems
by
a
wicked
Man
)
came
upon
me
as
I
was
standing
without
the
Door
of
a
House
at
Tipton-Green
,
where
a
few
Friends
and
I
had
been
for
a
little
Season
waiting
upon
God
;
and
so
the
Meeting
being
broken
up
,
and
I
,
with
the
rest
of
Friends
,
ready
to
depart
,
every
one
to
their
place
,
and
I
on
my
Journey
,
as
is
said
,
they
laid
violent
hands
upon
me
,
and
caused
a
Constable
to
search
me
,
as
though
I
had
been
some
dangerous
Person
,
when
,
as
the
Lord
knows
,
I
bore
no
Carnal
Weapons
for
this
four
and
twenty
Years
space
,
neither
did
I
Plot
or
Contrive
an
Evil
to
any
Man
in
the
least
;
but
have
,
as
much
as
in
me
laid
,
sought
the
Good
of
all
Men
in
Word
and
Deed.
And
yet
for
my
Good
Will
was
I
thus
apprehended
,
as
is
said
,
by
the
two
Men
before-named
(
who
since
are
both
dead
)
and
by
them
forthwith
committed
to
the
common
Goal
at
Stafford
for
not
Swearing
,
as
is
said
.
And
so
the
same
Spirit
that
so
committed
me
,
could
not
be
satisfied
until
it
had
seen
me
run
to
a
Premunire
,
as
they
call
it
,
for
not
Swearing
;
though
the
Man
called
Judge
Tirrel
,
who
did
it
,
confessed
before
all
the
Country
,
I
spoke
or
confessed
the
Substance
of
that
Oath
,
called
the
Allegiance
,
yet
premunired
me
for
want
of
kissing
the
Book
,
or
saying
,
I
Swear
,
I
Swear
,
or
so
,
which
are
but
light
Matters
compared
with
the
Substance
:
For
I
told
him
and
the
rest
,
that
Popery
I
was
against
,
but
not
against
the
King
,
or
good
Government
of
this
Nation
.
And
therefore
as
the
Lord
hath
,
so
will
he
ever
judge
Righteously
betwixt
me
and
my
Persecutors
,
and
bring
the
Wheel
of
his
Judgments
upon
the
Wicked
,
his
Enemies
.
Thomas

To
the
Mayor
and
Priest
of
Stafford
.
WHAT
!
Is
the
Mayor
and
Priest
of
Stafford
both
in
a
dead
Sleep
,
that
neither
Heart
,
Hand
nor
Tongue
is
left
,
either
to
punish
or
reprove
open
Wickedness
and
Prophaneness
committed
in
the
open
Sun
amongst
them
,
though
both
the
Law
of
God
and
Man
forbid
the
same
?
What!
Are
not
Players
,
Bear-wards
,
and
such
lewd
and
wicked
Persons
going
about
the
Country
,
and
practicing
their
Wickedness
as
this
day
,
not
only
condemned
by
the
Law
of
God
,
the
Light
in
all
Consciences
,
according
to
Holy
Scripture
,
but
also
in
express
words
forbidden
and
punishable
,
as
Rogues
and
Vagabonds
,
by
the
Laws
of
England
,
see
the
Statutes

And
yet
for
all
this
no
stop
put
to
them
,
but
even
openly
tolerated
and
cried
up
by
the
Multitudes
of
People
in
open
Streets
,
to
the
great
Dishonour
of
God
,
and
Shame
both
of
the
Town
and
Nation
,
when
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
cannot
be
suffered
so
openly
to
cry
Repentance
,
and
declare
God's
Judgments
against
them
,
and
the
like
Abominations
that
are
in
the
World
?
And
therefore
may
it
not
be
well
said
of
you
,
as
it
was
by
Jeremiah
the
Prophet
of
old
,
Chap.
10.21
.
The
Pastors
are
become
Brutish
,
and
have
not
sought
the
Lord
,
therefore
they
shall
not
prosper
,
and
all
their
Flocks
shall
be
scattered
.
And
Chap.
11.9
▪
And
the
Lord
said
unto
me
,
a
Conspiracy
is
found
amongst
the
Men
of
Judah
,
and
among
the
Inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
,
they
are
turned
back
to
the
Iniquities
of
their
Fore-fathers
which
refused
to
hear
my
words
.
And
Isaiah
59.14
,
15.
Judgment
is
turned
away
backward
,
and
Justice
standeth
afar
off
,
for
Truth
is
fallen
in
the
Street
,
and
Equity
cannot
enter
:
Yea
,
Truth
faileth
,
and
he
that
departs
from
Evil
,
makes
himself
a
Prey
;
and
the
Lord
saw
it
,
and
it
displeased
him
that
there
was
no
Judgment
.
So
awake
and
arise
,
and
consider
well
of
things
,
and
repent
,
lest
the
Lord
God
come
upon
you
in
his
fierce
Wrath
and
Judgment
,
for
these
and
all
your
Sins
,
whereby
you
have
dishonoured
him
and
the
King
,
and
suffered
your
Neighbours
to
be
unhelped
,
when
it
was
in
the
Power
of
your
hand
to
have
done
it
.
And
what
Christian
Heart
can
endure
to
see
one
Creature
tear
,
and
spill
the
Blood
,
and
torment
one
another
,
and
that
for
no
cause
,
but
only
to
satisfie
the
Lusts
of
ungodly
and
lewd
,
vain
and
cruel
Minds
of
the
Multitude
?
Will
not
God
punish
for
these
things
,
and
his
Soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
Nation
as
this
,
as
have
even
corrupted
the
Earth
with
their
Abominations
?
He
that
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
and
fear

Concerning
the
Fallen
Christians
.
BLUSH
O
Heavens
!
and
fear
thou
Earth
!
for
the
Lord
God
will
certainly
bring
forth
his
Judgments
,
and
plead
the
Cause
of
his
Truth
,
in
Vengeance
and
Righteousness
,
against
an
Hypocritical
People
,
and
Wicked
Generation
,
scattered
upon
the
Earth
in
several
Countries
,
who
call
themselves
Christians
,
and
yet
none
more
contrary
to
Christ
in
Heart
and
Life
than
they
.
For
they
strengthen
the
Hands
of
the
Wicked
in
all
the
World
with
their
lewd
Practices
,
and
cause
the
Name
of
Christ
to
be
Blasphemed
by
their
evil
Doings
:
They
surpass
the
Deeds
of
the
Wicked
,
and
exceed
all
the
Heathen
that
ever
went
before
them
,
for
they
Eat
and
Drink
to
the
highest
Excess
of
Gluttony
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Apparel
themselves
to
the
greatest
Measure
of
Pride
and
Vanity
that
ever
was
.
Their
Inventions
,
how
to
please
themselves
,

satisfie
one
another's
ungodly
Lust
,
are
innumerable
;
and
the
Burden
of
their
Covetousness

Unreasonableness
,
Oppressions
,
Uncleannesses
,
Prophaneness
,
Superstitions
,
Foolishness
,
Sports
,
Pleasures
,
Pastimes
,
and
Unchristian
Doings
,
is
too
heavy
for
God
long
to
endure
;
yea
,
and
that
which
serveth
to
fill
up
,
yea
,
to
make
the
Measure
of
their
Iniquities
to
overflow
,
is
their
Hatred
and
Persecutions
of
the
Righteous
that
are
amongst
them
:
And
therefore
now
again
doth
the
Lord
God
say
the
second
time
,
Ah!
I
will
ease
me
of
mine
Adversaries
,
and
be
avenged
of
mine
Enemies
,
and
will
cause
the
Arm
of
my
Power
to
rest
upon
them
,
and
the
Power
of
my
Jealousie
and
Wrath
to
consume
them
;
until
they
know
and
acknowledge
their
mighty
Sins
,
and
be
unfeignedly
humbled
,
and
repent
before
me
for
them
:
For
their
Iniquities
are
Grievous
,
and
I
am
weary
with
forbearing
,
saith
the
Lord
of
the
whole
Earth
,
God
over
all
,
to
be
dreaded
for
ever
,
who
will
shiver
in
sunder
the
Hearts
of
the
Stubborn
Wicked
his
Enemies
,
and
they
shall
fall
,
and
never
rise
again

So
be
it

Exhortation

O
People
!
where
is
your
ascending
with
Christ
,
who
are
not
yet
arisen
up
out
of
your
earthly
and
vain
Conversation
?
What
benefit
can
you
have
by
any
thing
of
Christ
,
whilst
you
remain
Strangers
to
the
Life
of
Christ
,

broad
way

World
?
Are
you
not
in
the
broad
way
of
the
World
,
whilst
your
Lives
are
wholly
fashioned
to
the
course
of
the
World
?
Your
observing
of
a
Day
,
and
calling
it
Holy
,
will
do
you
no
good
,
so
long
as
you
abide
in
your
old
wonted
Unholiness
and
Sins
.
So
seeing
Christ
is
not
only
risen
and
ascended
,
but
also
come
again
by
his
blessed
Spirit
(
as
he
promised
)
to
gather
his
Saints
to
himself
;
Arise
,
consider
,
see
where
you
are
,
and
fear
the
Lord
,
and
repent
of
all
your
false
Ways
and
Worships
,
lest
you
be
eternally
shut
out
of
his
blessed
Kingdom
,
withall
Hypocrites
,
who
in
Words
profess
Christ
,
but
in
Deeds
deny
him
;

To
the
Teachers
and
Magistrates
of
Tamworth
.
O
Ye
Magistrates
,
Teachers
,
Fathers
,
and
Masters
of
the
People
of
this
Town
of
Tamworth
!
How
is
it
that
in
all
this
long
Profession
of
Christian
Religion
,
you
are
not
come
to
a
better
sence
and
feeling
in
your
Hearts
,
than
to
suffer
,
if
not
to
countenance
,
this
vain
and
foolish
Custom
of
Ringing
and
Jangling
of
Bells
,
and
especially
in
your
House
of
Worship
,
to
the
grief
and
burdening
of
the
good
Spirit
of
God
,
and
the
tender
Souls
of
God's
People
,
who
are
redeemed
from
such
Vanities
.
O!
consider
,
consider
,
how
you
will
give
account
to
God
for
your Selves
and
the
People
,
especially
the
Young-Men
,
who
are
so
greatly
Corrupted
and
kept
from
God
by
such
Practices
;
for
they
seeing
you
that
are
Rulers
over
them
,
suffering
of
them
,
if
not
delighted
with
it
,
they
go
on
perswading
themselves
that
they
do
no
Evil
in
spending
their
precious
Time
and
Strength
upon
such
Vanities
.
For
it
's
manifest
,
that
all
such
as
are
exercised
in
such
Vanities
,
spending
several
Hours
in
them
,
and
that
so
often
delight
in
them
,
and
are
Lovers
of
Pleasures
more
than
Lovers
of
God
,
and
so
no
Friends
,
but
Enemies
to
the
Gospel
of
Peace
;
so
Repent
all
,
and
turn
to
the
Lord
's
tender
Spirit
of
Light
and
Life
,
and
suffer
it
to
have
Place
and
Rule
in
in
you
,
and
it
will
not
suffer
you
to
live
in
such
things
as
these
,
which
not
the
true
God
,
but
the
Evil
Spirit
of
this
wicked
World
hath
set
up
,
and
keeps
up
to
the
Dishonour
of
God
,
and
Blemish
of
the
Profession
you
make
:
Rests
a
Lover
of
your
Souls
,
and
a
Witness
for
God
against
all
vain
Inventions
.

To
Sinful
People
.
AH
sinful
People
!
who
,
in
the
blindness
of
your
Hearts
and
unbelief
,
are
scattered
upon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
from
God's
Way
into
the
ways
of
Destruction
,
whose
Delights
is
not
at
all
in
the
Law
of
the
Lord
,
neither
are
you
afraid
of
the
Judgments
of
our
God
,
the
pure
and
holy
One
,
who
Dwelleth
in
unspeakable
Glory
and
powerful
Majesty
,
whose
Voice
is
uttered
amongst
you
,
and
of
whose
terrible
Judgments
for
Sin
poured
forth
upon
the
Generations
of
the
Wicked
,
from
whose
Loyns
you
are
sprung
,
you
cannot
be
wholly
Ignorant
you
are
a
corrupt
Seed
,
a
People
in
whom
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
can
have
no
delight
;
for
in
the
ways
of
God
,
which
are
Holy
,
you
delight
not
,
but
in
your
own
ways
,
which
are
altogether
Corrupt
,
you
daily
defile
your selves
.
Hear
the
Word
of
the
Lord
God
,
ye
Rebellious
ones
,
the
Day
of
the
Lord
's
fierce
Wrath
is
nigh
to
come
upon
you
,
his
Soul
loaths
all
your
Meetings
;
yea
,
your
best
Works
are
Abomination
to
him
,
your
Prayers
and
Praises
of
your
Temple
are
Sin
;
your
Weddings
Joy
and
Mirth
is
brutish
as
your
Lusts
are
from
which
they
proceed
;
you
Buy
,
and
Sell
,
and
Marry
,
and
Meet
together
to
Worship
,
and
all
in
the
Accursed
Thing
,
the
Nature
of
the
wicked
One
,
which
Christ
came
to
destroy
;
and
yet
you
are
not
ashamed
to
say
,
Did
not
Christ
Institute
our
Marriages
,
and
our
Religion
?
Ah
foolish
People
!
when
will
you
learn
Wisdom
?
When
shall
Folly
depart
from
ye
?
When
shall
the
pure
Voice
of
God
and
his
Wisdom
be
heard
,
which
cries
to
you
for
Repentance
in
the
Streets
,
in
your
Hearts
,
and
in
all
your
Meetings
?
What
will
you
make
of
Christ
?
Was
he
,
or
is
,
do
you
judge
,
such
a
one
altogether
as
your selves
are
?
Does
his
Spirit
delight
in
your
Pipings
,
Dancings
,
Drinkings
,
Ramblings
,
Fooleries
,
unbridled
Tongues
,
vain
Religion
?
Is
there
any
Time
now
left
by
him
for
such
Things
?
Nay
,
verily
,
ever
since
he
suffered
upon
the
Cross
,
and
ascended
into
Glory
,
the
Times
of
the
World's
Mirth
he
hath
put
to
an
end
,
and
for
ever
condemned
it
,
and
your
Glory
is
no
more
;
neither
shall
ever
your
sinful
Hands
find
that
any
more
that
shall
help
you
;
but
now
you
are
called
into
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
to
deny
your selves
,
and
forsake
the
Vanities
and
Wretchednesses
ye
delight
and
live
in
;
and
ye
are
exhorted
to
enter
in
at
the
strait
Gate
,
and
so
to
follow
Christ
in
the
Regeneration
and
new
Life
,
where
the
Vanities
of
the
World
are
judged
,
and
put
off
with
its
false
Flattering
Religion
and
double
Tongue
,
that
would
deceive
God
with
the
Lord
,
Lord
,
in
the
words
;
when
the
Heart
is
after
every
evil
Lust
,
and
the
works
of
the
Devil
daily
brought
forth
amongst
you
to
his
Dishonour
.
Now
you
are
again
warned
to
remember
it
;
and
now
you
have
time
to
Repent
in
,
prize
it
,
lest
the
Door
be
shut
.
And
unto
you
,
O
wretched
Men
!
the
Teachers
of
this
People
,
who
have
caused
them
to
err
by
your
Lies
,
and
by
your
Lightness
,
and
by
your
destroying
wrestings
of
Scripture
,
who
have
received
here
of
this
vain
People
,
and
who
receive
Honour
from
this
wretched
Multitude
,
and
they
call
you
Masters
,
and
you
receive
it
;
and
indeed
their
Masters
you
are
,
and
lead
them
Captive
at
your
Will
,
after
your
blind
Doctrines
and
Practices
to
where
they
are
even
Strangers
with
you
to
the
Life
Food
.
The
Piper
or
Fidler
brings
you
a
couple
of
Carnal
People
to
the
Steeple-House
,
and
they
come
in
to
you
to
be
Wedded
,
and
in
a
few
deceitful
Words
you
join
them
together
for
filthy
Lucre
,
and
says
,
Whom
God
hath
joined
together
let
no
Man
seperate
;
and
then
you
send
them
forth
again
,
with
their
Train
,
and
the
vain
Man
the
Fidler
or
Piper
,
or
Waits
,
who
brought
them
to
you
,
receives
them
again
,
and
goes
with
them
to
the
place
of
Feasting
,
Drunkenness
,
and
Sportings
,
where
the
great
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
is
most
highly
Dishonoured
with
old
and
young
all
the
Day
and
Night
after
,
if
not
longer
;
and
thus
Lust
begins
the
Match
,
and
Lust
carries
it
on
and
finishes
it
,
and
you
are
all
but
dead
Men
in
God's
sight
,
with
all
your
doings
;
and
will
you
call
this
a
joining
in
the
Lord
,
and
the
Honourable
Marriage
.
O
Blasphemous
Men
,
how
dare
ye
so
Blaspheme
the
glorious
Name
of
God
,
shall
you
never
be
judged
for
these
things
;
yea
,
verily
,
the
Lord
will
require
a
strict
Account
,
for
it
is
now
Day
time
,
and
you
Sin
in
the
Day
after
Warning
;
and
so
your
Sins
are
the
greater
,
and
the
Judgment
will
be
accordingly
.
And
as
you
begin
with
the
People
,
so
you
lead
them
on
with
their
corrupt
Seed
,
bringing
that
also
into
your
cursed
Covenant
,
by
sprinkling
with
earthly
Water
,
which
washes
away
the
Sin
;
but
the
Lord
God
is
separating
ye
all
to
the
Sword
,
and
you
shall
be
a
Prey
to
his
Wrath
;
and
his
Servants
who
now
Mourns
for
you
,
and
thus
Warns
you
,
shall
rejoice
for
ever
,
even
so
Lord
Jesus
,
Amen
and
Amen
.

To
the
Children
of
Men.
O
Ye
Children
of
Men
!
doth
not
the
Eye
of
the
Lord
God
behold
all
your
Doings
?
and
doth
he
not
see
all
your
studyings
,
how
to
satisfie
and
fulfil
the
Lusts
and
Desires
of
your
own
evil
Hearts
?
Is
not
all
your
Gamings
,
Sportings
,
and
Mispendings
of
your
precious
Time
known
to
him
?
And
when
he
beholds
your
Cock-Pits
,
your
Bowling-Allies
,
your
Play-Houses
,
and
the
like
places
of
Vanity
,
doth
not
his
Soul
abhor
them
that
spends
the
Creation
in
making
and
setting
up
such
things
,
and
that
lets
forth
his
Heart
in
delight
after
the
things
there
practised
?
O
how
is
the
Lord
dishonoured
by
such
doings
?
Did
Christ
come
into
the
World
to
hold
up
such
things
,
or
to
pull
them
down
?
and
will
you
profess
Christ
,
and
keep
up
those
things
which
he
came
to
destroy
?
O
blush
for
shame
,
and
lay
your
Hand
upon
your
Mouth
,
and
never
boast
of
your
Religion
more
,
until
you
leave
off
your
Vanities
and
Iniquities
:
For
,
because
of
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
will
the
Lord
plead
with
you
,
and
all
the
Children
of
Vanity
;
And
the
Wicked
shall
not
be
able
to
stand
before
him
in
this
day
of
his
Wrath
,
that
is
come
and
coming
upon
all
the
Earth
,
to
consume
the
Sinners
out
of
it
,
For
the
Lord
hath
a
Controversie
with
the
whole
Earth
,
and
by
the
Fiery
Sword
of
his
glorious
Mouth
will
he
get
himself
the
Victory
:
And
not
by
the
Sword
of
either
Great
or
Mean
Men
,
shall
the
Earth
be
purged
from
her
Dross
.
He
that
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
,
and
repent
of
the
Evil
of
his
Doings
.
For
he
that
goeth
on
in
Sin
,
after
the
Admonition
of
Truth
,
shall
not
prosper
,
saith
the
Spirit
.
Thomas

To
the
Fencers
.
O
Ye
Fencers
and
Sword-Players
,
vain
Men
!
How
will
you
Fence
off
,
or
defend
your selves
from
the
Judgments
and
Wrath
of
God
that
is
to
come
upon
you
for
your
Sins
?
O
what
a
Company
you
gathered
together
Yesterday
for
your
own
filthy
Lucre
sake
,
to
the
Dishonour
of
God
,
and
wounding
of
all
your
poor
Souls
in
the
sight
of
God!
O
the
Wickedness
of
these
Times
,
and
Evils
of
these
Evil
Days
!
And
what
,
O
ye
People
,
the
Lovers
and
Beholders
of
these
Vanities
,
will
you
not
see
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
?
one
Day
gather
together
into
that
you
call
your
Church
,
in
a
presence
of
Worshipping
God
,
and
the
very
next
Day
found
assembled
together
with
Drums
into
the
County
House
,
to
see
the
Heathenish
Actings
of
Two
vain
Men
with
Naked
Swords
,
which
,
amongst
Christians
,
should
be
put
up
into
their
Sheath
.
What
Abomination
is
this
,
to
see
a
Town
and
a
Country
gathered
together
,
and
that
not
of
the
Meanest
of
the
People
,
to
give
their
Money
and
spend
their
Time
,
to
see
Two
vain
Men
Fight
for
a
Wager
,
as
they
pretend
,
and
yet
in
Hypocrisie
too
,
to
get
the
People's
Money
,
and
especially
in
these
hard
Times
,
when
many
poor
Souls
have
not
a
Penny
to
buy
them
Bread
withal
!
Will
not
God
Judge
for
these
things
?
Will
not
God's
Soul
be
avenged
on
such
a
Nation
as
this
?
Yea
,
sure
he
will
,
and
plenty
in
abundance
of
Drums
and
Naked
Swords
may
you
hear
and
see
to
your
astonishment
:
And
that
in
earnest
to
waste
and
cut
down
a
Proud
,
Wicked
,
Gainsaying
,
and
Hypocritical
People
.
Howl
ye
Priests
,
the
Head
of
all
this
Vileness
,
who
have
taught
the
People
to
be
Heathens
,
and
to
delight
their
Hearts
in
things
which
God's
Soul
hateth
.
Howl
ye
Magistrates
,
who
have
born
the
Sword
in
vain
,
and
have
not
withstood
the
doings
of
the
Wicked
,
but
have
suffered
them
to
act
their
Abominations
in
the
chief
Places
of
your
Towns
,
even
before
your
Judgment-Seats
.
Howl
all
ye
People
,
high
and
low
,
who
are
Upholders
of
,
and
Delighters
in
the
vain
Inventions
and
Heathenish
Works
of
all
sorts
of
Wicked
Men
,
and
your
Hearts
are
secretly
departed
from
the
Living
God
;
so
that
your
delight
is
not
in
any
of
his
Ways
.
The
Lord's
Controversie
is
with
you
,
and
he
will
certainly
ease
himself
of
you
,
and
all
his
Adversaries
,
as
saith
his
Spirit
,
in
his
Servant
Thomas
Taylor
.
Concerning
Sprinkling
.
HEAR
O
ye
Priests
,
and
harken
O
People
,
for
the
Lord
hath
a
Controversie
with
you
,
because
of
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
,
your
Gatherings
together
are
for
the
worse
,
and
not
the
better
;
and
the
Lord
can
smell
no
Sweet
Savour
in
your
Feasts
,
because
of
his
Name
,
which
is
Holy
,
which
you
so
much
take
in
vain
at
such
times
as
these
:
For
when
you
tell
of
Christning
a
Child
,
and
Regenerating
it
,
and
making
it
an
Heir
of
God's
Kingdom
,
by
such
your
Doings
,
you
deceive
your selves
and
the
Infant
greatly
.
And
so
when
in
words
you
seem
to
give
Thanks
to
God
for
doing
that
which
he
neither
doth
,
nor
never
promised
to
do
by
such
a
means
,
Do
you
not
greatly
dishonour
him
,
and
take
his
Name
in
vain
?
The
Apostle
Peter
saith
,
It
is
not
the
washing
away
of
the
filth
of
the
Flesh
,
but
the
answer
of
a
good
Conscience
in
the
Resurrection
of
Jesus
,
that
Sav●s
.
But
what
answer
can
the
little
Child
have
at
present
,
who
is
sensible
of
no
such
thing
?
And
for
your selves
,
your
own
words
do
daily
bear
witness
against
you
,
to
be
an
Unsaved
People
;
for
you
say
,
You
do
that
you
should
not
do
,
and
leave
undone
what
God
commands
,
and
that
there
is
no
Health
in
you
:
And
this
not
only
in
such
Doings
as
this
at
this
time
,
but
also
in
the
whole
Course
of
your
Lives
you
make
good
:
For
the
Lord
,
I
say
,
that
he
never
required
this
at
your
hands
,
to
wit
,
To
take
a
little
Water
,
and
sprinkle
it
on
a
little
Infants
Face
,
and
then
to
say
,
that
thereby
it
is
made
a
Member
of
Christ
,
a
Child
of
God
,
and
Inheritor
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
.
And
the
Scripture
no
where
saith
any
such
thing
;
and
so
you
have
no
ground
in
the
Truth
for
such
a
thing
,
nor
for
your
Godfathers
and
God-mothers
,
as
you
in
your
Blindness
call
them
,
to
promise
that
for
the
Child
,
which
you
never
did
perform
for
your selves
to
this
day
,
as
is
manifest
,
for
to
that
of
God
in
your
Conscience
I
speak
,
When
did
you
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
Pomps
and
Vanities
of
this
wicked
World
,
and
all
the
sinful
Lusts
and
Desires
of
your
Flesh
?
Nay
,
nay
,
it
is
most
manifest
in
your
Lives
,
as
your
words
before
set
down
prove
against
you
to
be
otherwise
.
So
in
God's
fear
give
over
Mocking
of
God
,
and
deceiving
your
own
Souls
,
and
the
little
Infants
,
and
turn
to
the
Lord
in
Spirit
,
that
he
may
teach
you
,
lest
his
Wrath
break
forth
upon
you
,
as
it
did
upon
the
People
of
old
,
who
went
on
in
their
Sins
,
and
there
be
no
Remedy
.

Concerning
Burying
,
and
Churching
of
Women
,
&c.
AT
the
casting
Mold
upon
the
Corpse
in
the
Grave
,
the
Priest
shall
say
in
the
Burial
these
words
,
For
as
much
as
it
hath
pleased
Almighty
God
of
his
great
Mercy
to
take
unto
himself
the
Soul
of
our
dear
Brother
here
departed
,
we
therefore
commit
his
Body
to
the
Ground
,
Earth
to
Earth
,
Ashes
to
Ashes
,
Dust
to
Dust
,
in
sure
and
certain
hope
of
the
Resurrection
to
eternal
Life
,
&c.
And
now
lest
any
should
say
,
they
do
not
here
say
this
in
a
particular
Application
of
these
words
to
that
present
Dead
,
in
the
Collect
afterwards
in
the
same
Burial
they
say
,
That
when
we
shall
depart
this
Life
,
we
may
rest
in
him
,
as
our
hope
is
this
our
Brother
doth
:
And
that
at
the
general
Resurrection
at
the
last
day
,
they
may
be
found
acceptable
in
his
sight
,
&c.
In
their
Churching
of
Women
,
There
is
read
the
116
Psalm
or
the
127
,
instead
of
that
which
in
former
times
was
read
,
wherein
,
The
Sun
shall
not
burn
thee
by
day
,
nor
the
Moon
by
night
.
But
still
to
understand
,
the
Woman
,
whatever
she
be
,
must
be
considered
of
the
same
Heart
and
Soul
as
David
was
when
he
wrote
these
words
,
which
is
very
often
as
contrary
as
Light
is
from
Darkness
,
for
afterwards
they
say
,
without
fear
,
Save
this
Woman
thy
Servant
,
and
answers
,
which
putteth
her
trust
in
thee
.
And
afterwards
pretend
to
give
Thanks
for
the
Delivery
of
that
Woman
(
whoever
she
be
)
which
they
call
God's
Servant
,
from
the
Pain
and
Peril
of
Child-birth
,
&c.
Then
the
Woman
must
offer
the
accustomed
Offering
,
now
what
these
are
I
know
not
,
but
the
Priest
it
seems
doth
:
But
why
do
they
not
enjoyn
them
the
Offerings
of
Moses
,
seeing
you
have
your
Pattern
from
thence
?
For
in
all
the
New
Testament
I
never
read
of
a
Priest
Churching
of
Women
.
In
their
Weddings
they
Swear
,
&c.
saying
,
both
the
Man
and
the
Woman
,
and
that
after
they
have
promised
,
before
all
,
to
live
together
as
Man
and
Wife
,
which
one
would
think
were
sufficient
,
(
but
what
can
be
sufficient
where
Truth
is
wanting
)
they
must
say
,
And
thereto
I
plight
thee
my
Troth
;
and
yet
not
content
with
this
neither
.
It
is
there
said
,
Then
shall
they
again
loose
their
Hands
,
and
the
Man
shall
give
to
the
Woman
a
Ring
,
laying
the
same
upon
the
Book
,
with
the
accustomed
Duty
to
the
Priest
and
Clerk
,
(
O
here
is
the
Business
,
)
(
this
is
that
Wheel
that
carries
all
on
,
to
wit
,
Money
;
and
all
is
for
Money
amongst
the
Hirelings
.
)
And
the
Priest
taking
the
Ring
,
shall
deliver
it
unto
the
Man
,
to
put
upon
the
fourth
Finger
of
the
Womans
left
Hand
,
(
what
Sorcery
is
here
)
and
the
Man
holding
the
Ring
there
,
and
taught
by
the
Priest
(
it
may
well
be
said
such
a
Priest
as
this
that
's
blind
,
for
it
's
certain
God
never
taught
such
a
thing
as
this
)
shall
say
,
With
this
Ring
I
thee
Wed
,
with
my
Body
I
thee
Worship
,
and
with
all
my
Worldly
Goods
I
thee
endow
.
And
this
they
must
pretend
to
do
In
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
&c.
Thus
taking
God's
Name
continually
in
Vain
in
their
vain
and
uncircumcised
Lips
.
Visitation
of
the
Sick
.
And
in
this
the
Priest
of
the
Parish
,
be
he
never
so
Notorious
a
Sinner
himself
,
yet
he
must
say
coming
in
,
Peace
be
to
this
House
;
and
why
,
because
Christ
said
to
such
as
he
sent
in
the
Power
of
his
own
Spirit
,
that
they
,
going
upon
the
Message
of
the
Gospel
,
might
say
,
where
they
entred
,
Peace
be
to
this
House
,
or
so
.
But
really
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
for
what
have
Hirelings
and
wicked
Men
,
who
abide
not
in
Christ's
Doctrine
,
to
do
with
Peace
.
What
,
because
Paul
,
by
the
Power
of
Jesus
,
cast
out
Devils
out
of
People
,
must
therefore
the
Exorcists
,
the
Sons
of
Seva
,
though
he
was
chief
of
the
Priests
,
do
so
?
Nay
,
but
must
be
given
to
know
,
through
Judgment
,
their
bold
Presumption
,
see
Acts
19.13
,
&c.
And
here
must
the
Sick
Man
,
though
never
so
bad
,
be
prayed
for
thus
,
O
Lord
Save
thy
Servant
which
putteth
his
Trust
in
thee
,
&c.
But
what
,
O
bold
Priest
,
if
the
Lord
should
even
then
call
thee
to
Judgment
,
and
say
to
thee
,
How
dost
thou
know
he
is
my
Servant
,
and
putteth
his
Trust
in
me
?
What
signs
of
this
hath
he
given
in
his
Life
and
Conversation
,
or
since
thou
came
in
,
for
the
Tree
is
known
by
his
Fruits
?
Would
not
the
Priest
be
struck
Dumb
?
Yea
;
as
surely
as
ever
the
Man
was
,
who
dared
to
come
to
the
Wedding
without
a
Wedding-Garment
.
O
what
dawbing
with
untempered
Mortar
is
in
all
heir
Doings
!
The
Lord
will
ease
himself
of
all
such
Burdens
,
as
these
Men
and
Things
are
to
his
holy
Soul
,
and
ever
blessed
pure
Spirit
.
But
some
may
say
,
it
's
left
to
the
Priest's
liberty
,
whether
he
will
so
Pray
for
him
before
he
have
Confessed
him
or
nay
:
Grant
it
be
,
but
what
then
,
O
may
the
People
or
Priest
say
,
the
Creed
was
read
to
him
,
and
he
asked
punctually
whether
he
did
believe
it
or
no
;
and
the
Sick
Man
answered
,
That
all
that
he
did
stedfastly
believe
.
I
answer
,
Did
he
so
:
Then
see
in
the
Book
how
that
came
about
,
even
by
their
own
means
;
for
the
Book
saith
,
That
after
the
Priest
hath
asked
the
Sick
Party
,
whether
he
believe
those
Articles
of
the
Creed
;
that
the
Sick
Person
shall
answer
,
All
this
I
stedfastly
believe
.
Then
it
seems
he
must
say
so
right
or
wrong
.
O
these
Men
made
Forms
and
Customs
of
Praying
,
Confessings
and
Professions
,
what
Havock
they
have
made
in
the
World
.
And
afterwards
it
's
so
,
that
if
the
Party
feel
himself
burdened
with
Sin
,
and
confess
it
,
and
desire
Absolution
,
the
Priest
shall
Absolve
him
in
these
words
,
Our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
hath
left
Power
in
his
Church
to
Absolve
all
Sinners
who
truly
repent
and
believe
in
him
,
of
his
great
Mercy
forgive
thee
thine
Offences
.
And
by
his
Authority
committed
to
me
,
I
Absolve
thee
from
all
thy
Sins
,
In
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
Son
and
Holy
Ghost
.
And
yet
in
the
next
words
,
called
the
Collect
,
Pray
for
the
Forgiveness
of
his
Sins
,
as
though
nothing
were
done
,
as
indeed
there
is
not
.
O
Confusion
!
The
last
thing
in
the
old
Service
,
is
the
Commination
,
or
Denouncing
of
God's
Judgments
against
Sinners
,
to
be
used
on
the
first
day
of
Lent
,
or
at
other
times
as
the
Ordinary
shall
appoint

A
Testimony
against
Bull
and
Bear-Baiting
.
O
Ye
Magistrates
of
Stafford
,
my
Heart
was
grieved
for
ye
and
your
Town
,
to
see
and
hear
Bulls
and
Bears
led
about
your
Streets
with
a
Drum
,
and
a
multitude
of
People
,
in
order
to
more
Vanity
and
Wickedness
,
and
that
at
such
a
time
as
this
,
wherein
you
pretend
to
be
more
Servants
of
God
than
ordinary
,
by
your
Communicating
together
in
your
Eating
and
Drinking
the
Signs
of
Christ's
Body
and
Blood
:
But
alas
for
you
!
What
will
all
this
avail
you
,
so
long
as
Bull
and
Bear-baitings
are
tolerated
amongst
you
,
with
such
full
Allowance
as
this
,
to
the
Grief
of
God's
Spirit
,
which
abhors
all
such
Cruel
Sports
and
Heathenish
Customs
?
Do
you
not
publickly
profess
in
your
Church-Service
,
Repentance
and
Amendment
of
Life
for
all
that
's
contrary
to
Christ
?
And
do
you
not
yet
see
,
that
to
delight
in
seeing
Bulls
,
and
Bears
,
and
Dogs
,
tearing
and
tormenting
one
another
without
cause
,
is
a
grievous
Sin
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
therefore
not
to
be
tolerated
by
you
.
Besides
the
great
hurt
it
doth
in
the
Minds
of
your
young
ones
,
who
are
led
away
from
remembring
their
Creator
in
the
days
of
their
Youth
by
these
things
.
Surely
the
Lord
is
grieved
with
you
,
will
you
not
see
the
Evil
of
such
Doings
;
for
I
know
if
you
would
come
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
your
Consciences
,
you
could
not
but
see
them
,
and
stand
against
them
with
all
your
might
,
and
so
discharge
a
good
Conscience
towards
God
and
his
Creation
.
And
how
do
you
know
,
but
the
general
Liberty
for
these
Evils
to
act
upon
the
Stage
of
these
Nations
,
is
one
cause
of
the
present
Judgment
of
the
Sword
amongst
them
.
Rests
God's
Servant
,
who
hath
been
a
Mourner
in
Spirit
for
ye
almost
this
Ten
Years
,
because
of
the
Evil
of
your
Doings
;
but
as
yet
you
have
not
laid
things
rightly
to
Heart
,
which
shows
your
Misery
to
be
great
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
A
Testimony
against
Sporting
and
Playing
.
NOne
can
rightly
rejoice
in
the
Birth
of
Christ
,
but
the
Spiritual
New-born
in
Christ
.
Those
that
think
to
please
Christ
with
Eating
,
and
Drinking
,
and
Sporting
,
and
Playing
,
are
Carnally-minded
,
and
the
Carnal
Mind
is
Enmity
to
God
;
and
those
that
live
in
the
Fleshly
Mind
cannot
please
God
,
Rom.
8.6
,
7
,
8.
So
its
manifest
,
that
the
Service
and
Kingdom
of
God
stands
not
in
Meats
and
Drinks
and
Worldly
Delights
,
but
in
Righteousness
and
Peace
and
Joy
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
Rom.
14.17
.
For
Meats
for
the
Belly
,
and
the
B●lly
for
Meats
,
but
God
will
destroy
b●th
it
and
them
,
saith
the
Apostle
.
But
God
will
never
destroy
such
as
Serve
and
Worship
him
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
all
the
days
of
their
new
and
redeemed
Life
.
And
so
it
is
manifest
,
the
more
Spiritual
that
any
one
is
,
the
more
are
they
dead
and
separated
from
that
foolish
Mind
and
vain
Customs
that
the
Evil
World
loves
and
lives
in
.
And
on
the
contrary
,
those
that
make
most
Provision
for
the
Flesh
,
to
satisfie
it
in
the
Lusts
thereof
,
let
the
Time
be
what
it
may
,
are
the
greatest
Enemies
to
Christ
,
and
their
own
Souls
;
so
let
things
be
well
weighed
and
considered
,
and
it
will
appear
to
the
open
Eye
,
that
God
is
not
more
dishonoured
many
Twelve
Days
of
the
Year
,
than
in
these
that
People
pretend
most
to
Honour
him
in
;
which
,
to
a
Godly
Heart
cannot
but
be
matter
of
great
Sorrow
,
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
Phil.

Many
walk
,
of
whom
I
have
told
you
often
,
and
now
tell
you
even
Weeping
,
that
they
are
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
whose
end
is
Destruction
,
whose
God
is
their
Belly
,
and
whose
Glory
is
in
their
Shame
,
who
mind
Earthly
things
.
And
this
is
the
miserable
and
woful
Condition
of
the
most
part
of
People
,
that
in
these
Days
bear
the
name
of
Christians
,
over
whom
the
Spirit
mourns

Loving
Exhortation

TO
All
Kings
,
Princes

whole

Wherein
is
a
Distinction
betwixt

True
and

To
be
Read
over
in
Meekness
and
the
Fear
of

Lord
.
OYE
Kings
,
Princes
,
Potentates
,
and
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
we
desire
not
your
Thrones
,
Honours
,
Places
or
Dignities
,
neither
do
we
envy
you
for
them
;
for
we
have
enough
in
God
our
Father
,
who
hath
made
us
Kings
and
Priests
to
himself
by
Jesus
Christ
,
Spiritually
to
reign
over
the
Evil
in
the
World
,
and
to
offer
up
our selves
in
Righteousness
to
his
Glory
;
and
this
is
our
Crown
,
and
that
which
we
strive
after
in
a
pure
Conscience
;
for
we
are
not
of
those
that
fight
with
Flesh
and
Blood
,
and
with
Carnal
Weapons
,
for
an
Earthly
Crown
,
but
such
as
in
the
Strength
of
Almighty
God
are
taught
with
Spiritual
Weapons
to
War
only
against
that
Mystery
of
Iniquity
and
Power
of
Darkness
,
that
captivates
the
precious
Soul
of
Man
,
and
keeps
it
short
of
the
Glory
of
God
;
desiring
from
the
Truth
of
our
Hearts
,
that
neither
the
Soul
nor
Body
of
any
may
perish
,
but
that
this
Wicked
one
,
which
is
the
Enemy
of
both
,
may
be
destroyed
out
of
the
Earth
,
in
this
day
of
Christ
,
by
the
Spirit
of
his
Mouth
,
and
Brightness
of
his
appearing
;
that
so
the
whole
Creation
of
God
may
be
delivered
from
Bondage
,
to
stand
in
its
Holy
Order
,
to
the
Glory
of
the
Creator
,
as
in
the
Beginning
;
that
so
he
may
take
delight
in
the
Children
of
Men
,
and
make
his
Abode
with
them
,
as
at
that

when

all
was
full
of
Beauty
and
Sweetness
,
and
no
Death
in
them
.
And
O
ye
Bishops
and
high
Teachers
of
the
World
,
we
desire
not
your
Seats
,
neither
do
we
envy
you
for
your
great
Promotions
,
but
do
desire
that
you
may
know
with
us
,
the
true
Shepherd
and
Bishop
of
the
Soul
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
good
and
true
Shepherd
and
Bishop
,
who
gave
himself
for
the
Sheep
,
that
he
might
Redeem
them
from
all
Iniquity
,
and
deliver
their
Souls
from
the
hands
of
all
Oppression
,
to
serve
him
in
his
own
free
Spirit
,
where
none
can
come
to
make
afraid
.
And
as
this
Saviour
you
come
to
know
and
receive
,
your
knowledge
of
Men
and
Things
according
to
the
Flesh
will
cease
,
and
the
Love
of
the
World
,
and
the
Worlds
things
will
die
in
you
,
and
a
Love
to
the
Seed
that
breaths
after
Righteousness
will
arise
in
you
,
and
you
will
know
what
God
requires
of
you
,
and
how
you
may
do
that
which
will
commend
you
to
God
in
the
great
Day
of
his
Judgment
,
which
is
nigh
at
hand
,
and
apply
your
Hearts
thereto
.
Therefore
awake
,
awake
,
arise
,
arise
,
for
the
great
Day
of
the
Lord
is
indeed
nigh
at
hand
,
yea
the
Sun
is
already
arisen
,
and
his
bright
Glory
shineth
upon
the
Sons
of
the
Morning
,
and
the
true
fearching
Light
,
from
which
nothing
can
be
hid
,
is
felt
and
known
in
the
Earth
,
and
before
it
the
Workers
of
Iniquity
are
as
Chaff
,
and
before
it
can
no
mortal
Man
stand
in
Judgment
,
though
he
glister
never
so
much
in
outward
Glory
in
the
Worlds
eye
;
for
in
the
presence
of
this
Light
,
the
Judgment
proceedeth
not
according
to
Person
or
Worldly
Appearance
,
but
according
to
Truth
,
Equity
and
Righteousness
;
and
so
every
Evil
doer
hates
this
Light
because
his
Deeds
are
Evil
,
and
the
Light
reproves
him
to
his
Face
,
and
in
his
Heart
,
without
respect
to
his
Person
:
And
therefore
none
but
they
whose
Deeds
are
wrought
in
God
,
can
willingly
come
to
this
Light
with
their
Deeds
,
or
endure
that
this
Light
should
pass
Judgment
on
them
;
for
it
's
the
Righteous
only
that
hath
Praise
in
the
Presence
of
this
pure
God
,
the
Light
who
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
Word
;
and
is
come
a
Light
in
the
World
,
that
all
through
him
might
believe
,
and
come
out
of
Darkness
,
and
the
Deeds
thereof
,
and
be
saved
.
So
if
any
of
you
perish
,
it
is
in
your
love
of
Darkness
,
and
your
Destruction
is
of
your selves
,
for
God
would
have
you
to
be
saved
,
and
to
that
purpose
holds
forth
his
Love
in
his
Light
to
your
Consciences
daily
,
that
you
might
be
warned
and
not
perish
:
And
if
this
Gospel
of
his
Love
and
Grace
,
the
Light
,
be
hid
from
you
,
it
is
because
the
God
of
this
World
,
with
his
deceitful
Allurements
,
hath
blinded
your
Eye
.
Mark
,
The
God
of
this
World
hath
blinded
your
Minds
;
that
Old
Sepent
who
is
called
the
Devil
and
Satan
,
and
Prince
of
the
Power
of
the
Air
,
which
works
in
the
Hearts
of
all
Disobedient
ones
,
hath
captivated
your
Understanding
,
if
this
Gospel
of
Light
you
perceive
not
to
Love
and
Obey
it
.
And
consider
how
the
Power
of
Darkness
deceives
Man
;
it
begins
with
him
betimes
,
and
works
subtilly
with
him
in
his
Mind
when
he
is
tender
and
young
,
carrying
him
forth
eagerly
after
Childish
Vanities
,
and
Youthful
Lusts
,
if
by
the
Light
,
that
secretly
Checks
for
these
things
,
he
be
not
resisted
.
The
World
tells
the
Youth
,
that
by
going
forth
into
some
Form
of
Religion
,
and
conforming
to
that
,
is
God's
way
,
by
which
Man
may
be
helped
against
his
Sin
;
but
God
,
the
Truth
,
saith
,
I
have
laid
help
upon
One
that
is
mighty
,
Christ
Jesus
the
Light
,
who
is
to
be
known
in
Man
,
a
present
help
against
Sin
.
And
,
by
what
means
,
saith
David
,
may
a
young
Man
cleanse
his
way
,
save
only
by
taking
heed
according
to
the
Word
of
God
.
And
,
the
Word
is
nigh
,
in
the
Heart
,
saith
Paul
,
discerning
the
Thoughts
and
Intents
thereof
.
And
,
the
Light
shineth
in
Darkness
,
saith
John
,
(
in
Man
)
yea
,
in
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
making
all
things
in
secret
,
manifest
;
and
who
can
bide
their
Deeds
from
it
?
So
if
the
young
Men
come
not
to
this
Light
,
then
they
abide
in
Darkness
,
and
grow
up
in
Darkness
,
and
covering
themselves
,
but
not
with
the
Spirit
of
God
,
so
long
,
until
there
be
no
Remedy
,
but
the
Wo
and
the
Curse
must
needs
come
upon
them
.
But
he
that
followeth
me
,
saith
Christ
,
(
the
Light
)
shall
not
abide
in
Darkness
,
Sin
nor
Evil
,
but
shall
have
the
Light
of
Life
,
and
shall
not
come
into
Condemnation
.
So
,
He
that
hath
an
ear
,
let
him
hear
,
and
mind
the
Light
of
Christ
in
you
,
that
lets
you
see
all
that
ever
you
have
done
,
and
sets
before
you
your
Sins
in
order
,
and
brings
Judgment
and
Condemnation
upon
your
Souls
for
them
:
And
love
the
Light
and
its
righteous
Judgments
,
for
Zion
must
be
redeemed
through
Judgment
;
and
bring
all
your
Deeds
,
Words
and
Thoughts
,
to
this
Light
of
Christ
,
and
hide
not
any
thing
from
it
;
for
he
that
hideth
his
Sins
,
from
the
Lord
,
shall
not
prosper
.
But
he
that
in
this
true
Light
sees
his
Sin
,
and
forsakes
the
Sin
,
and
turns
to
God
in
his
Light
,
and
abides
therein
,
shall
be
Blessed
.
But
Wo
is
the
Portion
of
such
as
turn
not
to
him
that
Smites
them
,
but
instead
of
owning
the
Pricks
and
Reproofs
of
Wisdom
,
kick
against
them
.
These
are
the
Ungodly
,
whose
Sacrifice
the
Lord
could
never
accept
;
but
they
abiding
in
their
Sins
,
all
their
Prayers
and
Performances
were
still
returned
upon
them
,
from
the
pure
God
,
as
Dung
upon
their
Faces
.
Therefore
,
go
not
forth
,
saith
Christ
,
for
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
(
which
he
compared
to
many
little
things
)
is
within
you
:
And
when
they
shall
say
,
Lo
here
,
lo
there
,
saith
Christ
,
go
not
after
them
:
For
those
that
draw
People
from
the
Light
and
Spirit
of
Christ
(
that
Holy
Anointing
within
)
in
Man
,
were
always
Antichrists
.
And
in
John
the
Apostle's
Time
,
many
of
these
were
come
;
and
,
they
went
out
from
us
,
saith
the
same
John
(
the
beloved
Disciple
of
Jesus
.
)
From
us
,
understand
such
as
were
in
the
Anointing
of
God
,
which
taught
all
things
,
and
they
neeved
not
that
any
Man
should
teach
them
,
abiding
in
the
Anointing
,
wherewith
their
Souls
and
Spirits
,
of
God
were
anointed
;
for
that
was
true
,
perfect
,
and
sufficient
to
lead
them
into
all
Truth
,
according
to
the
Promise
;
it
was
in
them
a
Spiritual
Unction
,
a
Free
Gift
from
the
Holy
One
in
Christ
,
the
promised
Seed
,
with
whom
,
through
Faith
,
(
the
right
Holy
Faith
)
they
were
become
one
Spirit
,
and
so
became
Heirs
of
the
Promise
,
and
true
Witnesses
of
the
New
and
Everlasting
Covenant
,
which
saith
,
And
they
shall
all
be
taught
of
God
.
These
are
not
outwardly
anointed
,
as
those
under
th●
Law
(
the
Figure
)
were
,
but
these
were
and
are
Spiritually
Anointed
of
God
himself
,
in
Christ
,
and
so
were
and
are
true
Heirs
of
the
Gospel
(
the
Substance
)
and
true
Children
of
the
day
,
walking
in
that
Heavenly
and
Eternal
Light
,
wherein
they
could
and
do
in
truth
say
,
Our
Fellowship
is
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
.
So
here
in
this
Holy
Body
there
was
no
Antichrists
;
but
those
that
went
out
from
these
into
the
Worlds
Ways
,
Worships
,
Customs
,
Traditions
and
Inventions
these
were
Antichrists
:
And
now
being
gone
forth
from
the
Lord
and
his
Spirits
Teaching
,
they
become
one
with
the
World
,
using
their
Tongues
to
talk
of
the
things
of
God
in
the
Worlds
Spirit
,
without
God
:
And
so
they
being
of
the
World
(
saith
John
)
herefore
the
World
hears
them
,
1
John
4.5
.
But
he
that
is
of
God
(
saith
the
same
John
)
heareth
us
,
even
us
that
abide
in
the
Holy
Anointing
of
God
in
us
.
And
my
Sheep
hear
my
voice
,
saith
Christ
,
and
follow
me
,
but
a
Stranger
they
will
not
follow
.
So
there
are
two
Spirits
,
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
and
the
Spirit
of
the
evil
World
:
And
two
sorts
of
Teachers
accordingly
;
the
one
hears
the
Voice
of
God
in
Christ
,
and
in
the
strength
of
this
Spirit
,
goes
forth
with
the
Word
of
God
,
and
Gospel
of
Truth
in
their
Heart
and
Mouth
,
in
Obedience
to
God
,
and
pure
Love
to
the
Soul
of
Man
,
and
not
for
filthy
Lucre
,
nor
any
worldly
End
whatsoever
:
And
these
the
true
Seed
,
God's
Little
Ones
,
Lambs
and
Sheep
hear
,
love
,
and
are
one
with
,
meerly
for
the
Truths
sake
,
which
is
one
,
and
endures
for
ever
.
But
now
contrariwise
,
the
other
sort
of
Teachers
,
who
are
rightly
called
Strangers
,
because
they
are
Strangers
to
the
Life
of
God
,
and
Holy
Motion
of
his
Spirit
;
they
go
forth
in
their
own
Wills
,
according
to
the
Motion
of
their
own
earthly
Spirits
,
without
God
,
for
Self-ends
,
in
the
allowance
of
the
earthly
Power
,
Name
,
and
Authority
;
not
to
build
up
the
Body
of
Christ
,
or
●o
minister
to
his
in
any
,
for
to
that
they
are
Strangers
,
but
to
commend
themselves
to
fallen
Man's
Wisdom
for
Self-advantage
,
and
to
gather
People
into
several
Forms
and
out
side
Professions
and
Observations
,
where
all
sorts
of
Sinners
are
taught
to
say
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
but
never
a
one
to
do
the
Will
of
God
perfectly
from
the
Heart
;
and
so
they
build
up
Babel
,
the
City
of
Confusion
,
where
there
is
like
Priest
,
like
People
,
the
Teachers
living
in
Sin
,
and
the
People
that
follow
them
living
in
their
Sins
,
always
learning
,
never
learned
to
worship
God
aright
:
For
the
Teacher
being
blind
through
his
Ignorance
of
God
and
Christ
,
he
must
needs
lead
them
,
that
follow
him
from
God
,
into
the
Ditch
.
And
of
this
sort
were
they
in
Christ's
time
,
that
loved
to
be
called
of
Men
,
Master
;
fair
Sayers
,
but
evil
Doers
,
who
loved
the
Praise
of
Men
,
and
their
Greetings
in
the
Market
,
and
their
chief
and
high
places
in
their
Feasts
and
Synagogues
;
and
loving
,
for
this
end
,
to
go
in
long
Robes
,
and
costly
Apparel
,
outwardly
appearing
beautified
to
the
Worlds
eye
,
but
inwardly
full
of
Pride
,
Covecousness
,
Vncleanness
,
the
Spirit
of
Persecution
,
and
all
manner
of
Vnrighteousness
,
as
one
may
read
in
the
23d
Chapter
of
Matthew
,
and
other
places
of
Scripture
,
where
Christ
had
to
do
with
the
false
spirited
Rabbies
in
his
day
,
whom
he
compares
to
Graves
,
painted
Tombs
,
Serpents
and
Vipers
,
who
shut
up
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
Men
,
and
neither
entred
in
themselves
nor
suffered
others
,
but
did
what
they
could
to
hinder
those
that
were
entring
.
And
of
such
Christ
gave
his
Disciples
warning
to
take
beed
in
time
to
come
,
and
told
them
,
though
such
Wolves
should
get
the
Sheeps
cloathing
on
them
(
to
wit
,
the
good
words
)
yet
they
should
not
trust
them
,
but
should
know
them
by
their
Fruits
.
And
so
the
Tree
that
is
by
Nature
a
Thorn
and
a
Thistle
,
hath
manifested
its
Fruit
;
and
by
their
Fruit
the
Children
of
Light
now
know
them
,
and
according
to
Christ's
will
,
avoid
them
.
And
of
this
sort
are
they
that
not
only
in
the
days
of
Christ
withstood
him
,
but
even
the
same
that
in
all
Ages
withstood
his
Spirit
and
Work
,
as
at
this
day
.
For
with
such
earthly-spirited
Teachers
it
was
,
that
the
Prophet
Jeremiah's
Heart
was
so
broken
in
his
day
,
as
one
may
read
all
along
the
23d
Chapter
of
his
Prophesie
,
and
of
whom
in
his
fifth
Chapter
he
so
grievously
complains
,
saying
,
A
wonderful
and
horrible
thing
is
committed
in
the
Land
:
The
Prophets
Prophesie
falsly
,
and
the
Priests
bear
rule
by
their
means
,
and
the
People
love
to
have
it
so
.
And
therefore
Destruction
from
the
Lord
came
upon
them
all
.
And
these
Teachers
said
still
in
their
lying
earthly
Spirit
,
that
Jerusalem
(
though
sinful
)
should
have
Peace
,
and
that
no
Evil
should
come
upon
them
People
,
though
they
walked
every
Man
after
the
Imagination
of
his
own
evil
Heart
,
Jer.
23.17
.
And
of
this
sort
were
they
that
the
Lord
sent
his
Prophet
Micah
to
cry
against
,
saying
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
Prophets
that
make
my
People
to
err
;
that
bite
with
their
Teeth
,
and
cry
Peace
;
and
he
that
putteth
not
into
their
Mouths
,
they
even
prepare
War
against
him
:
Therefore
Night
and
Darkness
came
upon
them
,
and
the
Vision
ceased
from
them
in
the
just
Judgment
of
God
.
For
a
self-end
was
in
all
their
Work
,
and
the
dead
Fly
of
Covetousness
corrupted
all
:
As
one
may
read
at
large
in
the
third
Chapter
of
his
Prophesie
,
Verse
5
,
&c.
And
of
this
sort
are
they
,
that
Isaiah
,
the
Prophet
of
God
,
in
his
time
so
grievously
complains
of
also
,
as
one
may
read
in
the
96th
Chapter
of
his
Prophesie
,
saying
,
Verse
9
,
&c.
All
ye
Beasts
of
the
Field
come
to
devour
;
yea
,
all
ye
Beasts
of
the
Forest
:
his
Watch-men
are
blind
,
greedy
,
&c.
all
looking
for
their
own
way
,
every
one
for
his
Gain
from
his
quarter
,
&c.
And
against
this
sort
of
earthly-spirited
Teachers
it
was
that
God
sent
his
Prophet
Ezekiel
to
cry
Wo
against
,
saying
,
Wo
to
the
Shepherds
of
Israel
that
do
feed
themselves
;
should
not
the
Shepherds
feed
the
Flock
?
Ye
eat
the
Fat
,
and
ye
cloath
you
with
the
Wool
,
ye
kill
them
that
are
fed
,
but
ye
feed
not
the
Flocks
.
And
so
the
God
of
this
World
,
through
Pride
and
Covetousness
,
had
so
blinded
their
Eye
,
and
corrupted
their
Hearts
,
that
they
had
neither
Will
nor
Skill
to
help
nor
heal
the
poor
diseased
,
sick
,
broken
,
scattered
Souls
of
their
Hearers
;
and
therefore
the
Lord
was
glad
to
put
them
aside
as
Physicians
of
no
value
,
and
became
the
Teacher
of
his
People
himself
;
as
one
may
read
in
the
34th
Chapter
of
his
Prophesie
throughout
.
Glory
to
the
Lord
,
who
hath
fulfilled
his
Promise
to
his
Israel
this
day
;
and
is
become
the
Teacher
of
his
People
himself
,
whereby
they
come
to
be
truly
profited
,
as
it
is
written
,
I
the
Lord
thy
God
teach
thee
,
O
Israel
,
to
profit
.
But
the
fore-mentioned
Teachers
,
who
have
run
in
their
Wills
,
for
Self-ends
,
and
the
Lord
never
sent
them
,
could
never
profit
People
at
all
:
And
as
Christ
Jesus
the
Lord
,
and
his
true
Prophets
,
in
former
times
were
trouble
and
opposed
by
such
Hirelings
:
So
also
the
true
Apostles
of
Christ
did
not
escape
the
Trials
and
Oppositions
of
that
deceitful
Spirit
by
which
they
were
acted
,
For
such
,
saith
Paul
,
are
false
Apostles
,
deceitful
Workers
,
Satan's
Ministers
,
transforming
themselves
into
the
likeness
of
the
Apostles
of
Christ
,
2
Cor.
11.
Some
of
these
were
already
come
in
his
day
:
And
I
know
,
saith
he
,
that
after
my
departure
grievous
Wolves
shall
come
in
among
you
,
not
sparing
the
Flock
:
Also
,
of
your
own
selves
shall
Men
arise
,
speaking
perverse
things
,
to
draw
away
Disciples
after
them
,
Acts
20.29
,
&c.
And
as
the
Kingdom
of
Antichrist
grew
,
these
perverse
things
were
established
for
Doctrine
by
a
Law
:
For
the
very
Name
of
Antichrist
holds
forth
a
Spirit
opposing
it self
to
every
appearance
of
Christ
,
and
of
his
Holy
Spirit
and
Anointing
in
Man
.
The
true
Apostles
and
Ministers
of
Christ
drew
the
Soul
from
Men
and
self
,
unto
Christ
,
and
his
Anointing
in
them
,
to
know
that
to
teach
them
:
But
these
,
and
all
other
False
Teachers
,
draw
from
Christ
and
his
Anointing
within
,
to
look
at
Flesh
and
Form
without
,
which
perfects
not
at
all
to
God
.
And
of
this
sort
also
are
they
,
saith
the
same
Paul
,
which
creep
into
Houses
(
understand
the
great
stone
Houses
,
called
Churches
,
as
well
as
others
)
and
lead
captive
silly
Women
,
laden
with
sins
,
led
away
with
divers
Lusts
;
ever
learning
,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
2
Tim.
3.
Of
this
sort
,
saith
Paul
,
as
shall
come
in
the
last
perilous
times
,
even
Lovers
of
their
own
selves
,
Covetous
,
Boasters
,
Proud
,
Blasphemers
,
Vnholy
,
(
who
say
they
are
Christians
,
but
are
not
so
in
truth
)
Fierce
,
&c.
having
the
Form
of
Godliness
,
but
denying
the
Power
thereof
;
and
these
he
exhorted
true
Believers
to
turn
from
;
and
so
in
Obedience
to
God
,
those
now
who
are
come
to
know
Christ
,
and
his
Anointing
in
them
,
to
teach
them
,
are
turned
from
such
.
And
though
these
Deceivers
have
proceeded
for
a
time
,
to
wit
,
during
the
late
Night
of
Apostacy
,
which
Paul
,
2
Thes.
2.
spake
of
,
to
deceive
many
;
yet
now
that
the
Light
is
risen
again
from
under
the
Earth
,
they
are
manifest
,
and
can
proceed
no
further
.
Let
none
therefore
now
be
so
void
of
understanding
,
as
to
brand
the
true
Messengers
of
Jesus
Christ
in
this
Day
,
with
the
Name
of
Deceivers
,
because
they
declare
Truth
,
not
only
publickly
,
but
also
from
House
to
House
,
by
virtue
of
the
Holy
Spirit
only
;
for
so
did
the
Apostles
themselves
,
and
yet
were
no
Creepers
into
Houses
;
for
creeping
into
Houses
denotes
the
Work
of
the
Children
of
Darkness
,
who
run
without
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
his
Spirit
,
or
Authority
,
in
their
own
Wills
,
for
Self-ends
,
as
before
;
leading
about
People
in
their
silliness
and
sinfulness
all
their
Days
,
as
by
woful
Experience
,
in
the
late
Ages
of
the
World
,
since
the
Apostles
Days
,
hath
been
fully
manifest
;
wherein
the
World
hath
wondred
after
the
Beast
.
And
as
there
were
false
Prophets
among
the
People
,
saith
Peter
,
even
so
also
shall
there
be
False
Teachers
among
you
;
who
shall
privily
bring
in
Damnable
Heresies
,
&c.
2
Pet.
2.
But
how
may
these
be
known
,
may
some
say
?
By
their
Fruits
,
saith
Christ
,
ye
shall
know
them
.
And
of
this
sort
are
they
,
saith
Peter
in
the
same
Chapter
,
who
through
Covetousness
,
with
fained
words
,
make
Merchandize
of
People
;
and
by
walking
after
the
Flesh
,
in
the
Lust
of
Covetousness
and
Vncleanness
,
and
Despite
of
Christ's
Government
,
even
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
.
These
are
the
Presumptuous
Ones
indeed
,
who
count
it
Pleasure
to
Riot
in
the
Day-time
,
speaking
evil
of
the
worthy
things
that
God
works
and
makes
manifest
in
his
Children
,
which
these
Presumptuous
Ones
know
not
.
And
these
false
Teachers
are
of
those
whose
Eyes
are
full
of
Adultery
,
and
that
cannot
cease
from
Sin
:
For
how
should
they
,
seeing
their
Heart
is
exercised
with
Covetous
Practices
,
loving
the
Wages
of
Unrighteousness
,
like
Balaam
,
as
he
(
to
wit
,
the
Apostle
Peter
)
there
speaks
.
And
therefore
,
those
that
see
not
these
are
Blind
indeed
;
and
those
that
these
Teachers
can
deceive
,
may
well
be
said
to
be
without
a
Foundation
:
And
hence
it
hath
come
to
pass
,
that
through
such
Teachers
Wickedness
,
and
Peoples
Ignorance
,
the
World
hath
been
as
a
Wilderness
.
And
now
therefore
is
the
Lord
,
according
to
his
Blessed
Promise
,
bringing
up
that
knowledge
of
himself
and
his
Christ
again
,
that
shall
make
the
Wilderness
a
fruitful
Field
,
and
sweet
smelling
Garden
for
himself
to
be
glorified
in
.
And
this
knowledge
of
God
shall
cover
the
Earth
as
the
Waters
do
the
Sea
.
And
thereby
shall
all
hurting
and
destroying
be
done
away
from
amongst
Men
,

last
;
as
is
this
Day
witnessed
amongst
such
where
this
Knowledge
of
God
hath
place
.
Glory
to
his
Name
for
Ever
.
So
now
therefore
,
all
ye
Kings
,
Princes
,
Potentates
and
Rulers
of
the
Earth
,
see
in
what
Principle
you
stand
,
and
upon
what
Foundation
you
grow
,
and
whose
Work
you
are
a
doing
;
whether
God's
or
your
own
.
True
Magistrates
are
not
a
Terrour
to
the
good
,
but
to
the
evil
.
But
how
can
ye
see
the
good
and
the
evil
truly
asunder
,
or
know
what
to
punish
,
and
what
to
protect
,
if
you
come
not
to
the
Light
,
Christ
Jesus
,
that
true
Light
which
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
(
as
was
said
before
)
to
take
Counsel
at
him
,
for
he
is
the
Wonderful
Counsellor
:
and
whatsoever
makes
things
truly
manifest
is
his
Light
,
and
with
it
every
hard
thing
is
known
,
and
every
secret
thing
found
out
,
but
without
it
nothing
;
but
all
People
that
walk
in
the
Darkness
of
their
own
Understandings
,
do
err
in
Vision
,
and
stumble
in
Judgment
,
and
so
know
not
what
they
do
,
nor
whither
they
go
:
And
this
way
that
seemeth
good
in
the
Mans
own
Eye
,
is
that
which
always
tended
to
Death
,
and
disordered
all
things
.
And
by
such
a
Judgment
Barrabas
was
Released
,
and
the
Innocent
Jesus
delivered
to
be
Crucified
;
and
by
this
the
false
Prophets
in
all
Ages
were
protected
and
born
up
,
and
the
Dear
Servants
of
Christ
cast
out
as
a
thing
of
nought
.
So
arise
,
arise
;
awake
,
awake
to
Righteousness
,
and
Sin
not
,
for
the
Lord
is
on
his
way
to
give
unto
every
Nation
,
and
each
People
therein
,
Rewards
according
to
their
Works
,
without
respect
of
Persons
.
And
until
God's
Righteousness
rule
in
all
,
and
over
all
,
how
can
any
thing
stand
,
let
that
of
God
in
all
Consciences
judge
;
so
lay
things
to
heart
,
for
this
is
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
.
Also
,
you
Bishops
and
high
Teachers
,
who
are
pleased
in
your
Minds
because
accepted
of
Man
;
consider
,
Are
you
accepted
of
God
?
Is
your
Sacrifice
so
pure
,
and
your
Persons
so
innocent
,
that
the
Holy
God
can
receive
them
?
Is
your
Doctrine
so
sound
,
and
Life
incorrupt
,
that
none
can
justly
blame
it
?
Have
your
Hands
handled
the
Word
of
Life
which
you
speak
of
to
others
?
And
do
you
know
in
your selves
what
that
living
,
sh●rp
and
powerful
Word
of
God
is
,
(
which
the
Apostle
,
Heb.
4.
speaks
of
)
which
divides
betwixt
Joint
and
〈◊〉
,
Soul
and
Spirit
,
and
discerneth
all
the
thoughts
and
intents
of
every
Heart
?
And
are
your
Hearts
cleansed
by
it
?
And
do
you
Preach
and
Minister
this
internal
,
living
,
and
eternal
Truth
(
the
Word
)
to
the
People
,
or
the
dead
Letter
only
?
See
how
it
is
:
For
the
Fruit
●ow
must
be
the
real
Witness
of
every
Trees
Nature
.
Have
you
received
the
Free
gift
from
above
?
Then
sell
it
not
for
Money
.
Would
you
be
counted
Ministers
and
Embassadors
for
Christ
,
and
would
you
have
the
Children
of
Light
to
own
you
?
Then
approve
your selves
to
them
as
Paul
did
to
the
Brethren
in
his
Days
,
2
Cor.
6.3
,
&c.
In
much
Patience
,
in
Afflictions
,
in
Necessities
,
in
Distresses
,
in
Stripes
,
in
Imprisonments
;
as
dying
,
yet
alive
in
the
Hearts
of
the
Hearers
by
the
Power
of
Truth
,
&c.
And
let
all
People
see
that
you
mind
the
good
of
the
Soul
,
and
God's
Glory
,
more
than
the
World
,
and
your
own
Self-ease
and
Advantage
:
For
the
Day
is
dawned
that
makes
all
things
manifest
.
And
lay
by
your
Carnal
Weapons
,
and
make
proof
of
your
Spiritual
Weapons
(
if
you
have
any
)
and
try
a
little
,
how
you
can
perswade
Men
to
be
of
your
Mind
by
that
means
:
For
People
begin
to
question
much
the
forcing
of
Men
into
Religion
by
the
carnal
Sword
,
and
outward
Constraint
,
whether
it
be
of
God
or
no.
For
it
's
found
by
Experience
,
that
into
what
People
are
forced
by
the
outward
Power
,
by
the
same
means
may
they
be
forced
out
of
that
again
,
and
so
remain
restless
,
and
without
a
Foundation
,
until
the
Truth
it self
settle
them
.
So
set
not
up
your
rest
in
the
Wilderness
,
much
less
in
Egypt
,
but
look
towards
the
Holy
Land
,
the
undefiled
,
unmoveable
Foundation
,
and
suffer
others
to
do
so
too
.
And
those
that
have
spied
out
the
good
Land
,
hinder
them
not
from
entring
in
,
but
help
them
on
in
their
Journey
,
if
you
can
,
lest
you
be
found
Fighters
against
God
.
For
now
is
the
Effect
of
every
Vision
coming
in
;
and
a
feeble
one
in
this
Blessed
Jerusalem
,
that
is
descended
,
and
daily
coming
down
from
God
out
of
Heaven
,
is
as
David
,
and
David
as
the
Angel
of
God
before
them

He
that
runs
may
now
read
,
if
his
Eye
be
open
.
And
Blessed
are
all
that
have
believed
in
God's
Holy
Name
;
these
will
not
be
troubled
at
Zion's
Prosperity
,
but
will
set
to
their
Seal
that
God
is
true
,
and
praise
the
Lord
with
us
,
the
Children
of
the
Womb
of
the
Eternal
Morning
,
Prais●d
be
God
.
So
be
it
.
And
all
know
a
separation
in
your selves
betwixt
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
,
and
the
Vile
brought
under
,
and
the
Precious
bearing
rule
there
,
and
then
will
you
be
in
some
measure
able
to
discern
and
judge
aright
of
things
abroad
,
but
not
until
then
.
The
Carnal
Man
seeks
to
gather
a
great
heap
into
a
Form

but
the
Spiritual
Man
,
whose
Eye
is

he
seeks
to
bring
People
out
of
the
Evil
of
the
World
,
into
the
Good
of
God's
Kingdom
and
Power
of
Godliness
.
Blessed
are
they
that
can
lay
down
all
their
own
at
the
Feet
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
they
may
be

testifieth
,
The
World
by
Wisdom
knew
not
God
?
1
Cor.
1.
And
if
any
should
say
,
How
was
Christ
sent
,
or
can
any
be
sent
now
as
Christ
was
sent
?
I
Answer
,
Christ
was
sent
in
the
Wisdom
,
Power
and
Spirit
of
the
end
less
Love
and
Life
of
the
Father
,
to
Preach
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
the
Everlasting
Gospel
thereof
,
as
it
's
said
,
Luke
4.18
.
The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
upon
me
,
for
he
hath
anointed
me
to
preach
the
Gospel
to
the
Poor
,
&c.
and
so
were
the
true
Ministers
formerly
sent
of
Christ
,
Luke
the
last
,
49.
Acts
26.16
,
17.
Acts
20.28
.
John
16.13
,
14
,
15.
2
Cor.
3.5
,
6.
And
as
in
all
former
Ages
,
all
the
true
Messengers
and
Ministers
of
God
and
Christ
were
sent
in
the
Wisdom
,
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
thereby
directed
and
guided
in
their
Work
,
both
when
,
to
whom
,
and
what
to
speak
,
Jer.
17.
&c.
Exod.
3.10
,
&c.
Amos
7.14
,
16.
Acts
10.19
,
20.
Acts
8.26
,
27
,
29.
1
Cor.
2.12
,
13.
Gal.
2.7
,
8.
Even
so
are
Christ's
true
Messengers
and
Ministers
sent
now
,
and
always
must
be
,
because
without
Christ
they
can
do
nothing
,
John
15.5
.
and
because
no
Man
knows
the
Things
of
God
,
but
the
Spirit
of
God
;
and
therefore
without
that
Spirit
it
must
needs
be
impossible
for
any
,
either
rightly
to
know
or
minister
the
Things
of
God
,
1
Cor.
2.7
,
&c.
and
so
saith
Christ
,
I
am
with
you
,
(
not
some
,
but
all
my
Servants
)
John
17.20
,
21
,
22.
(
not
for
a
time
only
,
but
always
)
even
to
the
end
of
the
World
,
Mat.
28.20
.
And
therefore
saith
the
Apostle
,
How
can
they
Preach
,
except
they
be
sent
?
(
to
wit
,
as
Christ
was
,
Luke
4.18
,
&c.
)
as
is
plain
by
the
Apostle's
applying
that
in
general
to
Christ's
Ministers
,
which
the
Prophet
speaks
in
the
singular
number
of
Christ
,
Rom.
10.15
.
compared
with
Isa.
52.7
.
Again
,
Christ
was
sanctified
and
sent
,
so
are
also
his
Messengers
and
Ministers
sanctified
,
and
sent
as
Lambs
among
Wolves
,
John
17.16
,
17
,
18
,
19
,
&c.
Isa.
6.7
,
8.
Let
no
unsanctified
Man
here
shelter
himself
under
Judas
,
who
was
only
for
the
turn
of
fulfilling
the
Scripture
numbred
amongst
the
Twelve
,
but
not
at
all
for
a
Pattern
of
true
Gospel-Ministers
.
Again
,
Christ
came
not
to
do
his
own
Will
,
but
the
Will
or
him
that
sent
him
;
and
so
it
is
with
every
one
that
Christ
sends
,
and
who
abide
in
his
Doctrine
;
and
as
Christ
endured
the
Contradiction
of
Sinners
against
himself
with
all
Patience
,
even
so
do
all
he
sends
,
and
who
abide
in
his
Doctrine
,
not
avenging
themselves
,
but
committing
their
Cause
to
God
,
who
is
the
Avenger
of
all
Wrongs
done
to
his
Servants
:
Also
seeing
Christ
said
,
The
Tree
is
known
by
its
Fruits
,
and
by
their
Fruits
ye
may
know
such
as
come
to
you
in
Sheeps
Cloathing
,
but
are
inwardly
ravening
Wolves
,
Mat.
7.15
.
Therefore
it
is
further
asked
of
you
,
1.
Whether
such
as
love
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
,
which
Christ
forbad
,
Mat.
23
,
10
,
11
,
12.
or
seek
and
affect
other
Titles
of
worldly
Honour
,
and
to
be
Great
,
and
to
exercise
Lordship
in
the
Earth
,
like
the
Gentiles
,
do
not
plainly
manifest
themselves
to
be
such
as
Christ
is
not
with
,
seeing
he
said
to
his
,
It
shall
not
be
so
amongst
you
,
Mark
10.24
,
&c.
And
how
can
they
believe
,
(
saith
Christ
)
who
receive
Honour
one
of
another
,
and
seek
not
that
Honour
which
comes
from
God
only
?
John
5.44
.
2.
Whether
such
as
make
Merchandize
of
their
Words
,
even
selling
them
as
it
were
for
Money
,
by
agreeing
with
the
People
for
so
much
a
Year
,
to
settle
at
a
place
for
Preaching
,
&c.
and
yet
will
not
settle
at
a
Place
as
Teachers
,
but
where
they
know
before-hand
so
much
Hire
or
certain
Yearly
Maintenance
provided
for
them
,
seconded
with
the
worldly
Power
,
to
compel
People
to
pay
it
them
,
or
by
Force
to
take
it
from
them
,
whether
they
will
or
no
?
I
say
,
is
not
this
a
manifest
Token
that
such
Ministers
are
not
sent
of
Christ
,
seeing
he
said
to
his
,
Freely
ye
have
received
,
freely
give
;
and
the
Apostle
said
,
We
seek
not
yours
,
but
you
?
But
if
you
say
,
the
same
Apostle
also
said
,
If
we
have
ministred
to
you
Spiritual
Things
,
is
it
a
great
Matter
if
we
partake
of
your
Carnal
Things
?
3.
Then
I
Query
(
to
let
pass
the
Question
here
concerning
what
you
minister
,
whether
it
is
Spiritual
or
Carnal
)
whether
ever
the
Apostle
,
or
any
true
Minister
of
God
and
Christ
,
either
under
the
Law
or
Gospel
,
did
ever
use
any
other
Means
for
that
they
had
allowed
them
of
God
,
but
the
Power
of
the
Word
only
?
Or
did
ever
the
Apostle
,
or
any
Minister
of
Christ
,
receive
,
much
less
compel
by
worldly
Force
,
any
Maintenance
for
Preaching
from
such
as
denied
them
to
be
true
Ministers
?
And
so
such
now
as
not
only
compel
Wages
from
their
own
Hearers
,
but
even
from
such
as
they
do
no
Work
for
,
do
plainly
manifest
by
their
Fruits
that
they
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
them
,
and
are
so
far
from
being
Successors
of
the
Apostles
in
their
Spiritual
and
Heavenly
Ministry
,
as
that
they
Merit
to
be
accounted
of
the
Kind
of
Old
Eli's
Sons
,
who
by
their
Doings
caused
the
Offerings
of
the
Lord
to
be
ab●o●red
,
1
Sam.
2.
from
Ver.
12
,
to
18.
4.
Whether
such
as
cannot
content
themselves
with
the
Incomes
of
one
Parish
,
though
it
be
Sixty
,
Eighty
,
or
One
Hundred
Pounds
a
Year
,
but
seek
after
one
or
more
Parishes
or
Places
of
Revenue
besides
,
are
not
out
of
Measure
Covetous
,
and
so
palpably
out
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
and
so
Idolaters
,
seeing
the
Apostle
saith
,
Covetousness
is
Idolatry
?
E●●

5.
Whether
did
ever
any
Minister
of
Christ's
sending
Preach
up
the
Tenth
of
Peoples
Labour
,
or
Encrease
of
the
Earth
and
earthly
Things
,
as
a
standing
Gospel-maintenance
for
his
Ministers
,
seeing
the
Apostles
Writings
are
wholly
silent
in
the
thing
?
And
now
if
any
of
you
in
your
high
Minds
think
much
or
strange
to
be
question'd
concerning
these
things
,
such
may
know
that
these
are
the
latter
Days
,
spoken
of
by
Jeremiah
,
Chap.
23.20
,
21.
wherein
God
hath
done
,
and
is
doing
great
things
for
his
People
;
And
in
these
latter
Days
(
saith
the
Prophet
there
)
you
shall
consider
perfectly
of
the
pouring
forth
of
God's
Wrathful
Indignation
upon
the
false
Prophets
and
Teachers
,
who
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
them
,
as
also
throughout
that
whole
23d
Chapter
of
Jeremiah
is
to
be
seen
:
Also
concerning
the
false
Prophets
and
Teachers
you
may
read
John
10.1
,
&c.
Isa.
56.9
,
&c.
Ezek.
34.1
.
Mic.
3.
2
Pet.
2.
with
divers
other
Scriptures
,
which
speak
of
the
false
Prophets
and
Teachers
,
also
of
the
true
Ones
;
from
all
which
these
few
(
amongst
many
plain
and
necessary
Conclusions
)
following
may
be
gathered
,
viz.
1.
The
true
Prophet
,
Messenger
or
Teacher
is
sent
of
God
(
as
before
)
in
the
Power
and
Spirit
of
God
,
with
the
living
Word
of
God
,
which
is
as
a
Hammer
and
a
Fire
,
to
break
the
hard
Hearts
in
sunder
,
and
to
burn
up
the
Chaff
and
Dross
in
the
Minds
of
Disobedient
People
,
who
know
God's
Will
,
but
do
it
not
,
but
hold
the
Truth
in
Unrighteousness
.
The
false
Prophet
or
Teacher
,
he
runs
in
his
own
Will
,
and
having
stolen
the
Word
from
his
Neighbour
,
useth
his
Tongue
to
say
,
the
Lord
saith
,
when
the
Lord
never
sent
him
,
and
so
with
good
Words
and
fair
Speeches
deceives
the
Hearts
of
the
unwary
Hearers
,
making
glad
the
Hearts
of
Hypocrites
,
and
crying
Peace
,
when
the
Lord
hath
not
spoken
it
.
2.
The
true
Prophet
,
Teacher
or
Minister
,
as
he
hath
received
freely
,
so
he
ministers
freely
;
but
the
false
Teacher
,
as
he
runs
in
his
own
Will
,
so
he
ministers
for
a
Self-end
;
and
if
People
put
into
his
Mouth
,
he
cries
Peace
,
but
if
otherwise
,
he
prepares
War
against
them
,
and
out
of
his
corrupt
Heart
cries
,
Give
,
and
can
never
have
enough
.
3.
The
true
Minister
hath
a
Mouth
always
open
for
God
,
and
against
Sin
and
Evil
in
every
Appearance
of
it
,
without
respect
of
Persons
,
and
like
a
true
Watcher
gives
notice
of
the
Wolf's
approach
,
and
doth
not
flee
when
the
Wolf
comes
,
but
opposes
him
in
the
Loss
of
all
,
because
Christ's
Sheep
are
dear
to
him
:
But
the
Hireling
fleeth
,
because
he
is
a
Hireling
,
and
careth
not
for
the
Sheep
;
and
as
concerning
Sin
,
it
may
live
in
People
for
Ever
for
him
,
for
he
cannot
bark
against
Sin
,
he
is
so
full
of
it
himself
;
for
how
can
he
that
is
an
Unclean
,
Covetous
,
Proud
Person
himself
(
with
a
Face
)
stand
against
such
Sins
in
others
;
nay
,
nay
,
the
barking
of
such
must
needs
be
against
such
as
do
from
the
Heart
depart
from
Iniquity
,
and
so
separate
from
such
as
live
in
it
,
according
to
the
Call
of
the
Lord
.
4.
The
true
Prophet
,
Minister
or
Teacher
fights
the
good
Fight
of
Faith
,
and
his
Weapons
are
Spiritual
,
and
not
Carnal
,
and
so
he
sights
not
with
Flesh
and
Blood
,
to
destroy
Mens
Persons
,
Liberties
or
Estates
,
but
his
War
is
with
the
wicked
Devil
(
the
Power
of
Darkness
in
Men
)
that
separates
Mens
Minds
,
Hearts
and
Souls
from
God
,
and
brings
them
into
Sin
's
Captivity
,
and
so
under
God's
Wrath
;
and
so
the
true
Minister's
Work
is
to
Preach
People
out
of
that
woful
Condition
into
the
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
:
But
the
false
Teacher
or
Minister
his
Weapons
are
Carnal
,
and
he
runs
to
the
worldly
Powers
to
help
him
against
such
as
oppose
his
evil
Doctrine
and
Practice
,
crying
,
Men
of
England
,
&c.
help
,
as
the
Jews
cried
out
against
Paul
,
Men
of
Israel
help
,
and
so
matter
not
though
they
weary
the
Magistrate
,
and
set
all
the
World
in
an
Uproar
,
to
keep
themselves
up
in
their
high
Places
of
Deceit
,
and
so
prove
the
greatest
Enemies
against
God's
Truth
and
his
Servants
of
all
other
,
as
is
abundantly
to
be
seen
in
Scripture
,
concerning
the
Priests
and
their
Confederates
,
who
Presecuted
Christ
to
Death
,
and
raged
against
his
Followers
,
because
of
their
holy
Testimony
for
God
against
their
Soul-destroying
Ways
.
5.
The
true
Messengers
and
Ministers
of
Jesus
Christ
,
as
they
are
powerfully
sent
of
God
,
so
they
work
effectually
for
God
,
for
the
edifying
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
and
perfecting
of
his
People
in
Holiness
to
God
:
But
the
false
Teacher
,
as
he
hath
run
without
God
,
so
his
Work
is
for
strengthning
that
Part
in
Man
(
to
wit
,
the
Serpent's
Wisdom
)
which
is
against
God
,
and
wars
against
the
Simplicity
of
Christ
and
Good
of
the
Soul
in
all
;
and
so
they
being
themselves
out
of
that
Heavenly
Power
which
perfects
the
Soul
to
God
,
and
gives
it
perfect
Victory
over
all
Sin
,
they
cry
,
No
Perfection
here
,
no
perfect
Victory
over
Sin
on
this
side
the
Grave
;
and
so
they
lead
about
a
People
laden
with
Sin
and
Lust
,
silly
as
Woman
in
the
Transgression
,
ever
learning
,
and
never
able
by
their
Means
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
itself
,
which
sets
the
Soul
free
from
all
Sin
;
for
how
should
People
ever
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
by
following
such
Teachers
as
are
out
of
the
Truth
?
For
if
the
Blind
lead
the
Blind
,
must
they
not
both
fall
into
the
Ditch
?
Also
seeing
you
profess
the
Scripture
,
and
not
unwritten
Traditions
to
be
your
Rule
,
and
would
have
People
to
believe
,
that
what
you
do
is
according
to
Scripture
,
therefore
it
's
demanded
in
a
few
words
further
,
1.
What
Scripture
have
you
for
your
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
and
Signing
them
with
the
Sign
of
the
Cross
,
and
telling
People
,
That
thereby
they
are
made
Members
of
Christ
,
Children
of
God
,
and
Inheriters
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
when
in
your
own
Catechism
,
in
Contradiction
to
your
Practice
you
teach
,
That
Children
,
by
reason
of
their
Infancy
or
tender
Years
,
then
cannot
perform
the
Requests
of
Baptism
,
to
uit
,
Faith
and
Repentance
?
2.
And
what
Scripture
have
you
for
your
Sureties
(
so
called
)
which
you
most
unscripturally
call
the
Childrens
God
fathers
and
God-mothers
,
which
you
pretend
to
make
up
the
Defect
in
the
Infants
,
by
and
for
putting
these
Pretended
Sureties
upon
such
bold
Undertakings
,
and
unadvised
Promisings
of
that
for
the
Child
,
which
they
never
yet
did
for
themselves
,
nor
indeed
have
Faith
to
believe
,
that
so
great
Works
can
be
done
in
any
upon
Earth
,
to
wit
,
To
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
&c.
seeing
that
such
generally
held
,
That
none
can
live
without
Sin
:
Is
not
Sin
the
Devil's
Work
?
Yea
,
yea
:
And
is
there
any
Undertaker
for
Man
to
God-ward
but
Christ
?
And
was
there
any
Surety
betwixt
God
and
Man
,
but
Christ
only
,
who
saith
,
Without
me
ye
can
do
nothing
?
So
then
this
evil
Custom
of
your
undertaking
,
being
derogatory
to
the
Honour
of
Christ
,
Who
can
say
that
God
hath
required
it
at
your
Hands
?
But
if
you
will
yet
plead
for
it
,
shew
us
your
Scripture
for
it
,
if
you
would
be
esteemed
to
act
as
Protestants
,
and
not
as
Papists
,
and
to
own
Scripture
above
Mens
Inventions
and
Traditions
.
3.
Also
what
Scripture
have
you
for
your
Surplice
,
Canonical
Coats
,
Typpets
,
&c.
and
for
wearing
Black
rather
than
other
Colours
,
seeing
the
Apostle
blamed
such
as
placed
Religion
in
Days
,
Meats
,
and
the
like
;
surely
he
would
not
agree
with
such
as
place
their
Religion
in
Garments
and
Colours
;
Blessed
be
the
Lord
whose
Day
is
dawned
,
which
makes
all
things
manifest
,
and
none
will
hate
the
Light
of
it
but
Evil-doers
.
4.
And
what
Scripture
have
you
for
your
Tithes
,
Easter-Reckonings
,
Mortuaries
,
and
the
like
,
now
under
the
Gospel
,
and
for
your
Laws
,
which
you
call
Spiritual
,
to
compel
the
People
to
pay
you
them
,
seeing
Christ
is
come
,
the
End
of
that
Levitical
Priesthood
,
under
whi●h
Tithes
were
payable
by
Law
?
5.
What
Scripture
have
you
,
who
profess
your selves
to
be
Christians
,
for
your
Swearing
,
Swearing
in
your
Courts
(
so
called
)
Swearing
in
your
Spiritual
Courts
(
〈◊〉
)
?
The
poor
People
called
C●u●e●-Ward●ns
,
gr●●an
under
the
Burden
of
this
evil
Custom
:
O
this
is
far
from
following
Christ
,
who
said
and
saith
unto
his
Swear
not
at
all
;
but
you
are
grown
to
that
pass
,
that
you
cannot
trust
one
another
without
Swearing
,
no
not
in
your
Church-matters
:
Is
not
this
a
Fruit
of
Apostacy
,
and
departing
from
that
ancient
Faith
which
was
once
delivered
to
the
Saints
?
6.
And
what
Scripture
have
you
for
giving
David's
Prayers
,
Prophecyings
,
Roarings
,
Quakings
,
Tremblings
and
Confessions
in
Rhyme
and
Meeter
to
the
World
to
sing
,
who
are
of
another
Spirit
than
David
was
,
and
so
utterly
unacquainted
with
David's
Conditions
;
and
so
instead
of
singing
with
the
Spirit
and
Understanding
,
as
the
ancient
Christians
did
,
you
sing
in
a
Form
without
the
Power
,
thereby
not
honouring
,
but
rather
dishonouring
the
Lord
,
who
is
a
Spirit
,
and
will
be
worshipped
in
Spirit
and
Truth
?
7.
And
what
Scripture
have
you
for
teaching
People
to
worship
one
another
,
and
for
your
Ring
in
Marriage
,
where
you
teach
them
to
say
(
With
this
Ring
I
thee
Wed
,
and
with
my
Body
I
thee
worship
.
)
Is
not
God
alone
to
be
worshipped
?
How
then
are
such
to
be
accounted
Christian
Ministers
,
who
abide
not
in
Doctrine
?
2
John
9.
And
lastly
,
seeing
you
pretend
to
be
Christ's
Ministers
,
and
so
God's
Free-men
,
I
ask
you
these
few
plain
Questions
further
,
Gal.
1.10
.
viz.
1.
Why
do
you
limit
your selves
,
or
suffer
others
to
limit
you
,
to
such
and
such
Forms
of
Words
,
and
Gestures
,
and
Apparel
,
as
is
in
Use
amongst
you
in
all
your
Services
?
Is
it
from
any
Excellency
you
see
in
those
Words
or
Forms
more
than
in
any
other
?
Or
is
it
because
you
are
so
weak
of
Judgment
,
or
brittle
of
Memory
,
as
that
you
can
do
little
without
Book
?
Or
is
it
not
rather
for
filthy
Lucre
sake
you
are
willing
to
be
so●ty'd
,
because
you
know
,
that
without
Conformity
to
the
Wills
of
the
great
Ones
in
this
Matter
,
you
can
get
no
Power
to
compel
Peoples
earthly
things
from
them
?
O
what
will
not
the
Love
of
Money
compel
covetous-minded
People
unto
!
2
Tim.
6.10
,
11.
2.
What
is
that
makes
you
go
to
the
Bishop
,
rather
than
any
other
Man
or
Men
,
for
Ordination
?
(
as
you
you
call
it
.
)
Is
it
because
you
know
or
believe
that
he
is
more
Holy
than
any
other
?
Or
hath
more
Power
to
confer
any
Spiritual
Gift
upon
you
,
by
.
Imposition
of
his
Hands
,
more
than
any
other
?
If
you
say
,
he
hath
,
where
had
he
it
?
And
wherein
doth
it
appear
?
Or
is
it
not
rather
that
you
go
now
to
the
Bishop
for
Ordination
,
as
you
or
your
Brethren
went
formerly
to
the
Classical
Presbytery
(
so
called
)
in
Oliver's
time
,
because
this
is
the
Way
now
,
as
the
other
was
formerly
,
to
impower
you
to
come
into
Parishes
,
and
be
their
Teachers
,
and
command
their
earthly
things
from
them
by
Force
,
whether
you
do
any
Spiritual
Work
for
them
or
no
?
Yea
,
from
such
as
in
the
Lord's
Light
see
you
to
be
no
Ministers
of
the
Spirit
,
and
therefore
not
able
to
minister
Spiritual
things
,
and
therefore
deny
you
:
Oh
that
ever
such
a
thing
should
be
among
such
as
profess
to
be
Gospel
Ministers
.
3.
Whether
do
you
believe
that
all
things
in
the
Church
ought
to
be
done
and
spoken
in
the
alone
Power
and
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
?
And
if
so
,
then
how
can
you
expect
but
that
God
will
overturn
,
overturn
all
Things
,
until
he
(
to
wit
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
to
whom
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
is
given
)
comes
to
rule
in
all
and
over
all
,
to
whom
of
Right
it
belongs
.
So
be
it
.
And
what
is
the
Cause
that
you
are
so
dark
in
your
Minds
,
as
concerning
the
Mystery
of
Christ's
Kingdom
,
and
the
Spiritual
Saving
Power
thereof
,
if
it
be
not
that
mentioned
in
the
third
Chapter
of
Micah's
Prophecy
,
verse
5
,
6
,
7.
where
it
is
written
,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
Prophets
that
make
my
People
err
,
that
bite
with
their
Teeth
,
and
cry
Peace
,
and
he
that
putteth
not
into
their
Mouths
,
they
even
prepare
War
against
him
;
therefore
Night
shall
be
unto
you
,
that
you
shall
not
have
a
Vision
,
and
it
shall
be
dark
unto
you
,
that
you
shall
not
Divine
,
and
the
Sun
shall
go
down
over
the
Prophets
,
and
the
Day
shall
be
dark
over
them
;
then
shall
the
Seers
be
ashamed
,
and
the
Diviners
be
confounded
;
yea
,
they
shall
all
cover
their
Lips
,
for
there
is
no
Answers
of
God
.
So
be
not
proud
,
for
the
Lord
hath
spoken
,
but
see
in
the
Dread
and
Fear
of
God
,
how
you
can
acquit
your selves
from
the
Charge
against
False
Prophets
and
Teachers
mentioned
in
this
Paper
,
and
more
abundantly
in
the
Scriptures
;
For
if
you
be
found
in
their
Sins
,
how
can
ye
escape
their
Plagues
?
Rev.
18.4
.
For
Wo
will
be
to
them
that
seek
deep
to
hide
their
Counsel
from
the
Lord
,
and
their
Works
are
in
the
dark
,
and
they
say
,
who
seeth
us
,
and
who
knoweth
us
;
see
Isa.

From
one
who
Travails
for
the
Prosperity
of
Sion
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
A
Strong
and
Terrible
Alarm
Sounded
out
of
the
Holy
Mountain
,
against
all
the
Wicked
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
.
WO
,
Wo
unto
you
Rulers
,
Priests
and
People
,
who
live
without
the
Fear
of
God
,
and
do
hide
your
Abominations
in
Hypocrisie
and
Dissimulations
,
you
are
got
into
several
Sects
and
Opinions
,
and
there
some
of
you
have
long
made
a
Profession
of
God
with
your
Tongues
and
Lips
,
but
your
Hearts
are
removed
far
from
him
;
so
that
your
Profession
stinks
in
the
Nostrils
of
the
Almighty
,
and
he
Ioaths
and
abhors
your
Preaching
and
Praying
,
for
you
are
weighed
,
and
are
found
too
light
,
your
Covering
are
too
narrow
,
they
will
no
longer
hide
you
;
for
now
you
are
searching
with
the
true
Light
wich
makes
you
manifest
,
and
rips
off
your
Coverings
,
so
that
your
Nakedness
appears
;
the
Day
hath
made
you
manifest
;
and
now
is
the
Light
risen
,
and
with
it
you
are
seen
to
be
out
of
the
Life
of
Truth
;
yea
,
you
are
found
to
be
the
greatest
Enemies
to
the
Life
that
be
upon
the
Earth
,
for
you
seek
to
Murther
it
wheresoever
it
is
brought
forth
;
yea
,
and
in
all
its
appearances
you
seek
to
Suppress
and
Murther
it
:
Remember
your
Fore-fathers
Cryed
,
Not
this
Man
,
but
Barrabas
;
and
your
Cry
and
Practice
is
seen-to
be
the
same
in
Nature
now
;
for
in
you
,
and
by
you
is
the
Son
of
God
Cryed
against
,
who
hath
long
forborn
you
;
and
,
because
his
Judgments
were
not
speedily
executed
upon
you
,
have
strengthened
your selves
in
your
Wickedness
and
Imaginations
,
and
have
provoked
the
Almighty
to
Wrath
,
and
have
not
considered
that
his
Long
suffering
towards
you
was
to
have
drawn
you
to
Repentance
;
but
the
Day
of
your
Visitation
you
have
despised
,
and
have
hated
the
Light
of
his
Son
in
your
Consciences
,
which
hath
often
shewed
you
your
Evil
Deeds
;
and
so
have
trampled
the
Blood
of
the
Covenant
under
your
Feet
,
and
have
done
despite
unto
the
Spirit
of
Grace
,
and
have
chosen
to
follow
the
vain
Imaginations
of
your
own
Hearts
,
and
have
contemned
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
,
and
would
not
that
he
should
Reign
over
you
.
For
which
cause
his
Judgments
linger
not
against
you
,
but
are
ready
to
be
poured
forth
upon
your
Heads
,
even
upon
you
who
have
sold
your selves
to
work
Abomination
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
and
are
Worshipping
in
the
House
of
your
Imagery
,
and
are
joyned
and
become
one
with
the
great
Whore
of
Babylon
,
who
hath
made
her self
Drunk
with
the
Blood
of
the
Saints
and
Martyrs
of
Jesus
,
but
now
is
she
come
in
Remembrance
before
the
Dreadful
and
Terrible
God
,
and
now
shall
both
she
and
her
lovers
be
Plagued
and
Tormented
together
.
Therefore
ye
Nobles
and
Rulers
,
Captains
and
Mighty
Men
,
Priests
and
People
,
High
and
Low
,
Rich
and
Poor
,
Bond
and
Free
,
who
have
Committed
Fornication
with
her
:
Awake
to
the
Judgment
,
and
behold
your
King
,
the
Old
Dragon
,
which
is
the
Devil
and
Sathan
,
for
he
is
come
forth
and
deceives
you
,
and
he
is
come
to
gather
you
to
the
Battle
of
the
great
Day
which
is
at
Hand
,
for
the
Harvest
is
ripe
,
and
the
Winepress
is
full
,
and
your
Fats
overflow
,
and
the
Measure
of
your
Iniquities
is
great
and
now
will
God
be
Avenged
on
you
,
who
will
bring
you
all
down
to
the
Valley
of
Descision
,
even
there
shall
the
Day
of
the
Lord
be
upon
you
,
which
will
be
a
Day
of
Pain
and
Anguish
,
a
Day
of
Blackness
and
Gloominess
,
and
of
thick
Darkness
unto
you
that
have
slain
the
Witness
of
God
,
and
have
made
merry
over
him
:
Your
Mirth
is
almost
at
an
end
,
and
instead
thereof
shall
be
Mourning
and
bitter
Lamentation
which
shall
come
upon
you
in
one
Day
,
and
now
is
the
Day
of
Vengeance
Proclaimed
,
now
is
the
Trumpet
Sounded
forth
;
behold
the
Lyon
Roareth
.
Therefore
,
O
all
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
,
Fear
and
Tremble
before
the
Living
Dreadful
God
,
and
Dread
ye
his
Name
:
For
,
now
is
he
arising
in
his
Majesty
and
Glory
to
shake
Terribly
the
Earth
,
the
noise
of
a
Trumpet
goeth
before
him
,
which
soundeth
an
Alarm
,
Strong
and
Mighty
is
he
,
there
goeth
a
Sword
out
of
his
Mouth
,
and
a
Threshing
Instrument
is
in
his
Hand
,
wherewith
he
will
cut
down
the
tall
Cedars
,
and
thresh
the
Mountains
to
Dust
:
A
Fire
proceedeth
out
of
his
Mouth
also
,
which
shall
devour
and
burn
before
him
,
and
none
shall
be
able
to
quench
it
,
and
the
Breath
,
that
cometh
forth
of
his
Nostrils
,
shall
scatter
the
Earth
as
the
Whirl-wind
scattereth
the
Dust
:
Yea
,
Terrible
and
Dreadful
will
he
be
unto
you
wicked
,
who
Live
in
the
Earth
,
you
shall
not
be
able
to
behold
nor
stand
in
his
Presence
.
Therefore
Weep
,
and
Howl
,
and
Lament
,
for
the
Misery
that
is
coming
upon
you
,
for
Destruction
is
at
hand
;
yea
,
the
Lord
hath
decreed
an
overthrow
of
the
Wicked
of
the
Earth
,
for
now
shall
his
overflowing
Scourge
pass
through
the
Earth
,
and
the
Beesom
of
his
Destruction
shall
sweep
you
away
,
except
you
Repent
:
For
your
Wordomr
,
and
Murders
,
and
Idolatry
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Swearing
,
and
Lying
,
and
Wantonness
,
and
Prophaness
is
come
in
Remembrance
before
the
Dreadful
and
Terrible
God
,
who
will
be
avenged
on
you
at
once
.
Rejoice
ye
Saints
,
who
are
clad
with
Zeal
,
and
Shout
for
Joy
,
you
Sons
of
the
most
High
God
,
and
Sing
ye
Heavens
,
and
you
that
dwell
therein
,
for
the
Lord
is
risen
,
ye
are
Witnesses
thereof
.
Behold
he
cometh
in
and
with
ten
thousands
of
his
Saints
,
to
judge
the
Earth
in
Righteousness
,
and
to
execute
his
Judgments
upon
his
and
your
Enemies
:
The
Vials
of
his
Wrath
are
made
ready
to
be
poured
out
upon
them
;
and
his
Indignation
is
waxen
hot
against
them
,
which
shall
burn
,
and
slay
,
and
consume
them
unto
the
end
,
Glory
,
Glory
,
Honour
,
and
Dominion
,
and
Praise
,
be
given
unto
our
King
,
who
liveth
for
ever
,
for
he
is
worthy
to
reign
over
all
;
who
was
dead
,
but
now
is
he
alive
,
and
liveth
for
evermore
,
and
hath
redeemed
us
from
the
Earth
,
and
hath
brought
us
above
the
Earth
,
to
reign
with
him
upon
the
Earth
;
eternal
Praises
to
our
King
for
evermore
,
who
is
above
all
,
and
over
all
;
who
was
before
the
World
was
,
and
hath
brought
us
to
reign
with
him
eternally
above
the
World
.
Now
here
is
the
Joy
and
cause
of
our
Rejoycing
,
who
have
followed
the
Lamb
through
great
Tribulation
,
and
are
brought
above
the
Tribulations
,
to
dwell
in
the
Presence
of
the
Living
God
:
This
is
Joy
unspeakable
and
full
of
Glory
which
shall
never
have
an
end
.
Hallelujah
to
our
King
for
evermore

WO
to
you
that
wake
to
Sin
,
and
watch
for
Iniquity
;
that
spend
their
Days
in
Vanity
,
and
so
bring
themselves
with
Sorrow
to
the
Graves
,

their
Souls
to
the
Pit

The

you
to
the
Judgment

his
great
Day
,
which
burns
as
an
Oven
against
all
the
Workers
of
Iniquity
upon
the
Face
of
the
whole
Earth
.
The
Apostle
saith
,
Awake
to
Righteousness
and
Sin
not
.
But
you
that
observe
these
Popish
Wakes
and
Antichristian
Revels
,
you
awake
to
Sin
and
Unrighteousness
,
with
the
Strength
and
Delight
of
your
uncircumcised
Hearts
,
like
the
Heathen
that
know
not
God
.
The
Papists
appointed
a
Feast
at
the
Dedication
of
their
old
dead
Mass-houses
,
and
you
their
Children
,
who
uphold
these
Wakes
,
bear
witness
against
your selves
,
that
you
were
never
yet
in
heart
truly
separated
from
their
Idolatries
▪
O
the
Blindness
and
Deadness
of
your
Teachers
,
that
cannot
bark
against
this
dead
Idol
;
And
therefore
doth
the
Lord
warn
you
all
to
stand
up
from
the
Dead
,
that
Christ
may
be
your
Light
,
to
see
such
wretched
and
Soul
destroying
Vanities
as
these
Wakes
are
,
that
so
,
through
Repentance
for
them
,
you
may
find
Mercy
,
and
not
perish
with
them
that
perish
from
the
right
way
.

A
Warning
to
the
NATIONS
,
To
Layaside
all
Prejudice
and
Enmity
,
The
Ground
of
Strife
and
Wars
;
And
to
come
and
Embrace
the
Light
of
Christ
Jesus
,
that
they
may
see
themselves
,
and
come
to
be
Saved
and
Healed
,
and
United
in
the
Love
of
God
.
THE
Indignation
of
the
Lord
is
upon
all
Nations
,
and
his
Fury
upon
all
their
Armies
;
he
will
greatly
distress
the
Inhabitants
of
the
World
,
he
will
now
plead
the
Cause
of
his
Covenant
of
Light
against
all
those
that
withstand
his
Glorious
Appearance
,
and
Work
of
Restoration
,
in
this
the
day
of
his
Mighty
Power
,
wherein
he
is
giving
the
Kingdom
of
his
Everlasting
Peace
to
Israel's
Seed
under
the
whole
Heavens
,
who
fear
his
Great
Name
,
and
tremble
at
his
Almighty
Word
of
Life
,
which
shakes
not
only
Earth
,
but
Heaven
also
:
And
now
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty
bringing
forth
his
Glory
to
light
,
and
creating
the
new
Heavens
and
new
Earth
,
wherein
dwells
Righteousness
,
according
to
his
Promise
,
Isa.
65.17
,
&c.
wherein
the
People
beat
their
Swords
into
Plow-shears
,
and
their
Spears
into
Pruning-hooks
,
never
to
learn
War
any
more
;
but
every
one
now
that
believes
in
the
Truth
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Light
,
and
true
King
of
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
shall
sit
under
him
,
the
true
Vine
,
and
none
to
make
them
afraid
,
Isa.
2.2
,
&c.
And
now
,
even
now
,
is
the
Lord
God
Almighty
arisen
,
and
got
up
into
his
high
Throne
of
Majesty
and
everlasting
Glory
to
Reign
;
and
of
this
his
Peaceable
Kingdom
,
which
he
hath
begun
to
set
up
in
his
Trembling
People
,
there
never
shall
be
End
.
The
true
Israel
of
God
is
now
coming
up
out
of
the
Spiritual
Egypt
indeed
,
to
possess
the
true
Land
of
Promise
,
the
Inheritance
and
Free
Gift
of
our
God
;
and
no
Inchantment
shall
now
stand
against
God's
Spiritual
Host
,
nor
Divination
against
the
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
,
who
have
known
his
Wonders
in
the
Deep
,
and
known
the
Out-goings
of
God's
Power
against
Pharaoh
,
and
all
his
Host
,
in
the
Red
Sea
of
his
Fiery
Indignation
.
And
now
will
God
be
exalted
in
Judgment
,
and
avenged
in
Righteousness
,
upon
all
Nations
and
People
under
Heaven
,
who
hold
the
Truth
in
Unrighteousness
,
and
will
not
that
God's
Holy
Son
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Light
,
should
reign
,
though
he
be
come
to
Reign
and
Judge
in
the
Earth
.
For
to
him
,
the
Light
,
who
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
is
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
given
.
And
his
Light
shines
freely
into
all
your
Hearts
,
O
all
People
of
the
Earth
;
and
shineth
in
the
thickest
Darkness
to
make
manifest
the
Creator's
Will
to
all
your
Consciences
,
though
your
Darkness
,
O
People
,
comprehends
it
not
;
but
it
comprehends
you
,
and
all
your
dark
Ways
,
and
destroying
Phoughts
;
and
lets
you
see
plainly
,
That
for
all
your
great
Workings
,
and
toilsom
Labour
in
an
Out-side
Profession
in
your
Earthly
Wills
,
you
have
wrought
no
Deliverance
in
the
Earth
;
but
your
Souls
Enemies
still
stand
in
strength
.
And
it
lets
you
see
,
that
for
all
your
Striving
,
and
Fighting
,
and
Killing
,
and
Spoiling
,
and
Destroying
one
another
about
Earthly
Things
,
you
have
done
no
good
at
all
;
but
brought
God's
Judgments
upon
all
your
Souls
,
and
pierced
your selves
through
with
many
Sorrows
.
And
therefore
the
Heavenly
Voice
sounds
through
the
Earth
,
and
calls
aloud
in
your
Ears
,
and
knocks
at
the
Door
of
your
Hearts
,
O
all
People
of
the
World
,
High
and
Low
,
Professor
and
Prophane
,
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
Christians
,
so
called
,
and
Turks
;
Arise
,
Arise
,
Awake
,
Awake
,
turn
in
your
Minds
to
the
pure
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
the
Judge
of
Quick
and
Dead
,
the
Son
of
the
eternal
God
,
Creator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
who
died
for
your
Sins
,
and
rose
again
to
give
you
a
New
,
Holy
and
Everlasting
Life
in
himself
,
through
Faith
in
his
Name
.
And
behold
,
he
lives
for
evermore
.
And
all
see
and
search
diligently
in
your selves
,
what
you
know
of
his
Holy
Life
made
manifest
in
you
,
to
destroy
the
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
in
you
,
which
in
the
days
of
Darkness
hath
filled
your
Vessel
,
and
brought
your
very
Soul
,
Mind
and
Heart
into
the
Thraldom
of
that
Wicked
One
,
who
is
called
the
Devil
and
Satan
,
and
compassed
with
Terrors
,
and
Fears
,
and
Affrightments
,
your
very
Life
,
and
whole
Man
,
because
of
the
Wrath
of
the
Almighty
,
which
you
by
your
Sinful
,
and
Unrighteous
,
and
Unholy
and
Cruel
Doings
,
both
against
God
and
your
Neighbour
,
have
stirred
up
against
you
.
And
behold
,
the
Earth
languisheth
because
of
these
things
;
and
the
Children
of
Light
,
who
are
redeemed
to
God
,
out
of
these
sore
Evils
and
grievous
Plagues
,
do
mourn
for
you
,
and
bewail
your
Misery
Night
and
Day
,
as
well
knowing
in
the
Light
of
the
Lord
,
what
your
woful
End
will
be
,
if
these
Bryars
and
Thorns
,
and
noisom
Weeds
(
the
proper
Fruits
of
the
Curse
)
be
still
suffered
to
grow
in
you
,
and
cumber
God's
Ground
.
Oh!
how
nigh
unto
Cursing
is
that
Field
,
which
God's
Rain
rains
upon
,
and
yet
brings
forth
no
better
Fruit
,
than
Killing
,
and
Slaying
,
and
Spoiling
,
and
Cousening
,
and
Cheating
,
and
Defiling
,
and
Oppressing
one
another
,
besides
Lying
,
and
Swearing
,
and
Cursing
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Pride
,
and
Persecution
of
God's
Righteous
Seed
,
with
all
other
Abominations
of
the
World
against
the
Holy
Light
,
&c.
Checks
and
Reproofs
of
the
good
Spirit
of
the
Almighty
,
both
in
their
own
Consciences
,
and
the
Mouth
of
God's
Servants
,
and
Holy
Witness
of
Truth
in
the
Scriptures
,
which
notwithstanding
all
these
their
Abominations
,
many
of
them
profess
to
be
their
Rule
.
But
know
,
O
Man
,
whoever
thou
art
,
or
whatsoever
Profession
thou
art
of
,
that
that
's
thy
God
and
Ruler
,
and
Father
,
and
Teacher
,
and
Way
,
whose
Commands
thou
lovest
,
and
whose
Works
thou
dost
,
and
whose
Will
in
the
inward
of
thy
Mind
thou
clofest
with
:
As
Christ
said
to
those
Lyars
,
false
Accusers
and
Murderers
in
his
Day
,
John
8.44
,
&c.
Ye
are
of
your
Father
the
Devil
,
for
his
Works
ye
will
do
;
he
was
a
Lyar
and
Murderer
from
the
beginning
.
So
thou
that
goest
from
the
Light
of
God
in
thee
,
which
shews
thee
thy
Sin
,
and
the
evil
Lustings
and
Desires
of
thy
Flesh
and
Mind
,
thou
goest
from
God
,
and
from
his
Fear
,
and
from
the
Way
of
Peace
:
And
so
,
thou
going
from
this
,
and
joyning
to
evil
Motions
of
Sin
in
thy
Flesh
and
corrupted
Mind
,
thou
joynest
to
the
Devil
,
and
so
bringest
forth
Sin
,
which
is
the
Devil's
Work
;
and
the
Wages
of
every
such
Work
is
Death
.
And
so
in
the
very
moment
of
time
,
in
which
thou
dost
the
evil
Work
,
whatsoever
it
be
(
contrary
to
God's
Light
in
thee
)
thou
dyest
the
Death
;
and
so
remainest
dead
from
the
Life
of
God
,
and
his
blessed
Righteousness
,
until
the
Day
of
true
Repentance
and
Amendment
of
Life
:
And
then
what
will
it
profit
thee
to
have
gained
the
World
,
or
Victory
over
thy
Neighbour
,
or
Satisfaction
to
thy
Lusts
,
to
the
Loss
of
thy
Soul's
Life
?
Therefore
Arise
,
Arise
,
Awake
,
Awake
;
O
all
Nations
and
People
!
Come
forth
to
the
Judgment
of
this
great
Day
of
God
Almighty
:
For
now
is
the
effect
of
every
Vision
to
be
known
and
felt
in
the
Earth
,
and
the
High
Towers
of
the
City
of
Confusion
,
the
Mystery
Babylon
the
Great
,
the
Mother
of
Harlots
,
shall
fall
to
the
Ground
;
and
the
Mountain
of
the
House
of
the
Lord
shall
be
exalted
over
all
;
yea
,
the
Lord
alone
,
and
his
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
,
and
Peaceable
Kingdom
on
the
Top
of
all
shall
stand
;
and
no
Weapon
formed
against
him
and
his
People
shall
ever
prosper
any
more
.
And
how
is
it
,
O
all
Nations
,
Kings
and
People
,
that
ye
are
not
yet
willing
,
after
so
long
a
time
knocking
at
the
Gates
of
your
Cities
and
Doors
of
your
Hearts
,
that
ye
will
not
open
to
the
King
of
Glory
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Light
,
that
lighteth
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
that
he
may
come
in
,
and
be
Judge
,
Lawgiver
,
and
King
in
the
midst
of
you
,
that
the
Desire
of
all
Nations
may
come
,
and
be
Head
in
all
?
For
what
is
it
that
the
Soul
that
God
hath
made
in
all
Nations
doth
desire
,
but
to
see
it self
unburthened
of
that
grievous
Corruption
,
which
hath
defiled
it
,
and
to
be
delivered
from
that
Body
of
Sin
and
Death
,
which
hath
and
doth
so
imbondage
it
from
the
beginning
,
until
the
Day
of
Christ's
Power
be
known
within
,
to
work
the
Work
of
God
,
and
to
destroy
the
Work
of
the
Devil
,
and
to
save
the
Soul
from
its
Sin
,
and
to
present
it
spotless
to
God
,
which
is
the
true
Salvation
indeed
?
Now
this
is
my
Witness
for
God
amongst
the
Servants
and
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
this
Day
,
whom
the
World
in
Scorn
calls
Quakers
,
(
who
am
a
Sufferer
with
them
for
the
Kingdom
of
God's
sake
)
That
there
is
none
can
thus
know
the
Day
of
Christ's
Power
to
Salvation
,
but
as
they
believe
and
receive
that
Light
of
God
and
Christ
,
which
they
be
freely
enlightened
withal
,
which
shines
in
their
very
Hearts
and
Consciences
,
which
searcheth
their
very
Hearts
and
Reins
,
and
maketh
manifest
to
Man
his
Thoughts
,
and
from
which
none
can
hide
any
thing
;
but
all
things
are
naked
and
bare
before
him
,
the
Light
Christ
Jesus
,
who
lighteth
every
Man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
Jew
and
Gentile
,
one
and
other
,
who
searcheth
the
most
hidden
things
of
Man
,
and
brings
them
forth
to
the
Judgment
of
his
Righteousness
.
For
though
the
Night
may
hide
the
Adulterer
and
the
Thief
from
Man
,
it
hides
them
not
from
God
;
there
is
one
nigh
in
the
Heart
and
Conscience
,
that
tells
Man
and
Woman
all
that
ever
they
have
done
,
and
do
daily
do
,
even
their
secret
Thorghts
;
Is
not
this
the
Christ
of
God
,
the
true
Messiah
,
that
was
to
come
,
and
is
come
,
and
dwells
amongst
us
?
And
we
look
not
for
another
,
and
of
his
Fulness
have
all
we
received
,
and
do
daily
receive
,
who
believe
in
his
Light
,
which
shines
in
our
Hearts
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
.
And
this
the
Fulness
of
our
Blessed
God
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Light
,
is
it
which
filleth
all
that
come
to
him
with
all
Spiritual
Blessings
,
and
Heavenly
good
Things
;
and
without
whom
all
is
Darkness
,
Emptiness
,
Death
and
Desolation
,
as
all
the
poor
,
deceived
,
lost
Sons
and
Daughters
of
the
faln
Adam
do
sooner
or
later
know
,
and
are
made
to
confess
.
But
blessed
are
they
that
consider
of
things
in
time
,
and
lay
things
,
to
Heart
,
before
it
be
too
late
;
For
there
are
but
Twelve
Hours
in
a
Day
,
in
which
Men
may
work
,
saith
Chriff
,
and
then
the
Night
cometh
,
in
which
no
Man
can
work
:
But
the
Door
will
be
shut
upon
all
who
have
slighted
and
neglected
the
Day
of
their
Visitation
.
Oh
England
!
England
!
and
all
Lands
far
and
near
,
that
you
had
known
,
or
could
yet
believe
the
things
that
belong
to
your
Everlasting
Peace
,
before
they
be
hid
from
your
Eyes
.
Therefore
turn
ye
,
turn
ye
at
the
Reproofs
of
God's
Wisdom
and
Spirit
of
Light
and
Truth
,
which
sounds
through
all
,
and
lets
you
see
the
Vanity
and
Evil
of
all
your
Works
,
and
Frailty
of
all
your
Lives
,
how
soon
the
Thread
of
your
Life
is
out
off
;
and
then
,
where
are
the
great
Emperors
and
Kings
,
with
all
their
Crowns
?
And
where
are
the
great
Captains
and
Commanders
,
with
all
their
Bloody
Victories
?
And
where
are
the
Wise
Achitophel's
,
and
Cunning
Counsellors
of
the
Earth
,
with
all
their
Admirers
?
And
where
are
the
Covetous
Oppressors
,
with
all
their
Houses
full
of
the
Spoils
of
the
Innocent
?
Yea
,
in
that
Day
,
where
is
all
the
Glory
and
Lusts
of
the
World
,
with
all
the
Lovers
of
it
?
Surely
in
Darkness
and
Misery
shall
they
lye
down
together
,
and
Death
shall
have
Dominion
over
them
,
even
all
who
have
not
believed
in
the
Light
,
Christ
Jesus
,
and
who
have
not
followed
him
in
the
Regeneration
,
that
they
might
be
saved
;
but
have
spent
their
Days
in
the
Pleasures
and
Lusts
of
the
present
Evil
World
to
Destruction
.
Now
therefore
,
O
all
People
,
Hearken
to
the
Counsel
of
the
Lord
in
this
your
Day
,
and
learn
of
the
Lamb
,
the
Light
,
who
calls
you
to
Repentance
from
all
your
grievous
Ways
.
How
long
shall
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
strive
with
you
?
When
will
you
cease
learning
War
,
and
Destruction
,
and
Oppression
,
and
Spoil
?
O
when
will
you
beat
your
Swords
into
Plow-shares
,
and
your
Spears
into
Pruning-hooks
?
O
when
will
you
go
and
say
one
to
another
,
one
Neighbour
to
another
,
and
one
Nation
to
another
,
Come
let
us
all
be
humbled
before
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
who
made
us
all
of
one
Blood
,
to
dwell
together
upon
the
Face
of
the
Earth
in
Truth
,
Goodness
and
Love
to
serve
one
another
,
and
so
as
Branches
of
one
Tree
,
to
receive
Life
,
and
Vertue
,
and
Power
from
our
God
into
our
Souls
,
to
strengthen
us
unto
his
holy
Work
;
who
came
not
to
destroy
Mens
Lives
,
but
to
save
them
;
whose
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
and
therefore
is
not
set
up
or
maintained
with
Carnal
Weapons
,
Violence
and
Spoil
;
but
by
the
Eternal
Spirit
of
our
God
,
whose
Fruit
is
in
all
Goodness
,
and
Righteousness
,
and
Truth
?
And
let
not
the
wicked
Devil
,
the
Destroyer
,
deceive
us
any
more
by
his
Lies
and
Delusions
;
but
let
us
all
with
one
Heart
and
Soul
resist
his
Temptations
.
When
he
perswades
us
to
seek
to
be
great
in
the
Earth
,
and
be
avenged
on
them
we
count
our
Enemies
,
let
us
not
hearken
to
him
;
but
let
us
over
come
their
Evil
with
Goodness
;
and
not
to
seek
the
Destruction
of
their
Persons
,
or
Spoil
of
their
Estates
,
as
the
Heathens
do
that
know
not
God
;
but
let
us
follow
the
Example
of
Jesus
Christ
,
God
manifest
in
Flesh
,
who
when
he
was
reviled
,
reviled
not
again
,
but
prayed
for
such
as
despitefully
used
him
.
O
come
,
let
us
follow
this
meek
Lamb
in
Righteousness
and
Truth
,
and
learn
of
him
in
our
Heart
,
who
is
Meek
and
Lowly
,
that
we
may
find
Rest
for
our
Souls
;
who
rebuked
his
Disciples
,
who
would
have
had
Fire
to
come
down
from
Heaven
to
destroy
the
Samaritans
,
that
would
not
at
that
time
receive
Christ
.
For
what
knowest
thou
,
O
Man
,
but
the
Samaritans
may
in
time
come
to
a
better
Mind
;
and
then
thou
wilt
see
it
was
thy
Will
,
and
not
God's
,
that
desired
their
Destruction
in
their
Sins
.
For
Christ
would
have
all
to
be
saved
,
and
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
his
Truth
:
But
many
will
not
come
to
him
,
that
they
might
have
Life
,
and
so
their
Destruction
is
of
themselves
,
and
their
Condemnation
just
.
And
who
are
those
now
therefore
that
withstand
the
Doctrine
of
the
Truth
,
which
said
,
Love
your
Enemies
;
and
seek
not
the
Destruction
of
their
Persons
,
and
the
Spoil
of
their
Estates
;
but
seek
by
good
Doctrine
and
good
Life
,
to
bring
them
out
of
their
Sins
:
And
if
they
will
not
,
but
rather
hate
thee
for
thy
good
Will
,
be
content
;
thou
hast
quitted
thy
own
Soul
,
and
art
clear
of
their
Blood
;
and
so
thou
becomest
a
Sufferer
with
Jesus
,
Christ
,
and
shalt
Reign
with
him
in
due
time
.
I
say
,
who
are
these
now
on
the
Earth
,
that
withstand
Truth
,
and
continue
in
the
hateful
destroying
Ways
of
the
Old
Jews
and
Gentiles
,
but
such
as
will
not
be
counselled
by
the
Lamb
of
God
,
the
Suffering
Seed
,
who
said
,
Learn
of
me
,
for
I
am
meek
and
lowly
in
Heart
:
But
are
Men
of
Corrupt
Minds
,
who
account
Gain
,
and
Worldly
Honour
,
and
Promotions
more
than
Godliness
,
who
cries
Peace
to
themselves
in
their
Sins
:
And
that
same
Spirit
in
them
which
crie●
that
false
Peace
in
them
,
is
the
same
that
stirs
them
up
to
Kill
,
Destroy
,
Oppress
and
Spoil
one
another
for
Selfish
and
Worldly
Ends.
But
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
Judge
all
these
Evil
Things
,
and
to
Redeem
a
Seed
to
serve
him
,
as
in
the
beginning
of
the
Gospel
,
before
Antichrist
the
Murderer
got
up
amongst
them
,
that
professed
Christ
in
Words
,
but
denied
him
in
Deeds
;
who
had
a
Name
that
they
lived
but
were
dead
from
that
true
Life
,
which
was
in
Christ
Jesus
,
whom
in
Words
they
professed
.
And
though
the
Passage
we
seel
now
to
be
as
hard
of
coming
from
amongst
the
false
Christians
,
and
Turks
,
as
it
was
for
the
first
true
Christians
to
come
from
amongst
the
Jews
and
Gentiles
;
yet
the
Almighty
Power
of
our
God
is
able
over
all
,
and
through
all
to
carry
us
on
to
the
end
,
whom
he
hath
called
and
saved
with
a
mighty
Salvation
(
ever-praised
be
his
Name
)
and
who
will
yet
save
his
Beloved
Seed
Israel
,
and
gather
them
from
the
East
and
West
,
and
from
the
North
and
South
,
to
sit
down
with
Christ
in
his
Kingdom
:
And
this
is
no
ill
News
to
any
,
but
who
are
glewed
to
Deceit
,
and
married
to
Iniquity
;
but
it
is
Glad-tidings
indeed
to
all
that
love
their
Souls
,
and
the
Honour
and
Glory
of
Truth
more
than
the
things
of
this
perishing
World
.
And
I
could
desire
that
all
who
are
apt
to
reason
,
as
the
Jews
did
,
when
they
heard
the
Declaration
of
the
Gospel
of
Peace
,
and
Kingdom
of
God
,
which
stands
in
Righteousness
and
Peace
,
saying
,
If
we
let
this
go
on
,
then
the
Romans
or
Others
will
come
and
take
our
Place
and
Nation
.
I
say
,
that
they
would
consider
,
That
the
very
Course
which
they
,
to
wit
the
Jews
,
in
the
Denial
of
the
Truth
took
for
saving
of
themselves
,
brought
utter
Destruction
upon
them
and
their
Nation
.
But
what
!
shall
vain
Man
in
his
foolish
faln
Wisdom
and
earthly
Reasoning
,
think
to
be
Wiser
than
God
,
and
to
have
a
greater
Care
and
Love
to
the
Creation
,
than
God
himself
,
who
made
it
,
hath
?
What!
shall
Angels
at
the
Birth
of
Christ●sing
,
Glory
to
God
on
high
,
and
Good-will
to
Men
;
and
yet
when
the
way
of
God
in
Christ
is
published
,
for
bringing
this
great
Work
of
Salvation
to
pass
,
vain
Man
must
come
in
with
his
false
Mind
,
and
say
,
This
is
the
way
to
confound
all
Order
,
and
destroy
all
Good
;
And
that
this
Doctrine
turneth
the
World
up-side
down
;
And
that
the
Messengers
of
Christ
are
pestilent
Fellows
,
and
Movers
of
Sedition
?
O
Earth
,
Earth
!
Tremble
before
the
Lord
;
for
thou
shalt
never
have
Peace
in
thy
own
Ways
,
thou
shalt
never
be
Saved
by
thy
own
Strength
,
thou
shalt
never
be
Established
by
thy
own
Counsels
,
thou
shalt
never
have
true
Peace
,
nor
any
Plenty
within
thy
Borders
,
until
thou
believest
the
Gospel
,
which
saith
,
Learn
of
Christ
,
whose
Kingdom
is
not
of
this
World
,
and
whose
Weapons
are
not
Carnal
,
but
Spiritual
,
Mighty
through
God
;
not
for
the
pulling
down
of
Outward
Walls
and
Bodies
,
but
for
razing
,
and
pulling
down
,
and
destroying
the
strong
Holds
of
Sin
and
Satan
in
the
Hearts
and
Lives
of
the
Children
of
Men
:
For
after
that
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
The
World
by
Wisdom
knew
not
God
,
it
pleased
God
by
the
Foolishness
of
Preaching
,
(
to
wit
,
such
Doctrine
as
this
,
which
is
a
Cross
and
Stumbling-block
to
all
Corrupt
Flesh
)
to
save
them
that
believe
.
So
lay
things
to
heart
,
ye
People
of
the
World
,
and
Inhabitants
of
all
the
Earth
;
for
God's
Purpose
is
not
to
exalt
any
Man
or
Men
of
this
World
,
or
to
glorifie
any
Flesh
;
but
to
exalt
his
own
Son
,
Christ
Jesus
,
the
heavenly
Man
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
the
Truth
over
all
;
of
whose
Kingdom
and
Government
there
shall
be
no
End
.
And
all
that
obey
his
Voice
,
and
for
Obedience
thereunto
are
made
willing
to
Suffer
with
him
,
shall
reign
with
him
for
evermore
:
But
all
others
,
whether
they
be
called
Christians
or
Turks
,
or
whatever
else
,
shall
be
as
the
Dust
or
Chaff
before
the
Wind
to
be
scattered
,
as
the
Lord
by
his
Spirit
from
the
beginning
has
said
,
and
at
this
time
speaketh
in
his
Servant
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
People
whose
Hearts
are
turned
from
the
Lord
.
O
All
People
!
whose
Hearts
are
gone
away
from
the
Lord
,
out
of
his
Pure
and
Holy
Fear
,
and
are
in
the
Broad
Ways
of
the
World
,
at
Liberty
in
the
Flesh
,
satisfying
the
Lusts
and
Desires
thereof
,
making
Merry
over
God's
Witness
,
which
lyes
at
present
as
dead
amongst
you
in
your
Hearts
;
and
so
because
Judgment
is
not
speedily
,
and
at
present
executed
upon
you
,
therefore
are
your
Hearts
in
you
wholly
set
to
do
evil
;
and
so
you
grow
up
like
noisom
Weeds
in
your
Vanity
,
putting
far
from
you
the
Evil
Day
:
And
none
layeth
to
Heart
the
Afflictions
of
Joseph
,
nor
considereth
the
Sufferings
of
the
Seed
of
God
,
that
in
this
present
Day
,
and
in
these
Nations
,
are
great
and
many
;
but
you
Pipe
,
and
Dance
,
and
Feast
,
and
Drink
,
and
Revel
,
and
Fatten
your
Hearts
as
in
a
Day
of
Slaughter
,
as
if
there
were
no
such
thing
,
and
mind
not
the
time
to
come
,
nor
take
notice
of
the
present
,
wherein
God
would
gather
you
out
of
your
Sins
to
himself
,
and
do
you
good
for
Ever
,
but
you
will
not
;
therefore
is
your
House
left
unto
you
desolate
,
and
your
present
Mirth
will
be
all
turned
into
Mourning
,
when
this
thing
you
come
to
be
made
sensible
of
,
by
the
Just
Judgments
of
God
,
and
his
Hand
upon
you
.
Yea
,
and
all
your
Temple-Songs
will
become
Howlings
also
in
that
Day
;
for
what
Pleasure
,
O
vain
People
!
can
the
Lord
take
in
you
,
or
your
Services
?
for
in
that
same
Mind
that
all
your
fore-mentioned
Evils
are
done
,
are
your
Preachings
,
Prayings
,
and
Singing
Performed
;
with
the
same
Mouth
you
Bless
,
or
rather
seem
to
Bless
God
withal
,
with
the
same
Mouth
you
Curse
,
and
Swear
,
and
Backbite
,
and
Slander
,
and
tell
Lies
,
and
bear
False
Witness
against
Men
,
and
Sing
your
filthy
Rhimes
;
and
all
these
things
,
are
Abomination
to
the
pure
God
,
who
is
calling
a
People
out
from
amongst
you
,
to
Worship
him
in
Spirit
and
in
the
Truth
.
Because
of
Swearing
,
Drunkenness
,
Wantonness
,
Pride
,
Covetousness
,
and
Persecuting
of
the
Just
,
thou
Land
of
England
,
and
of
the
whole
World
,
even
Mourneth
and
Languisheth
.
So
rests
God's
Servant
and
Witness
,
in
outward
Bonds
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
the
Magistrates
.
TO
the
Magistrates
of
the
Town
of
Stafford
,
who
are
angry
with
with
me
for
coming
amongst
you
,
whilst
the
Money-Sermon
was
in
hand
,
and
think
you
do
God
Service
in
Persecuting
me
for
it
;
be
it
known
unto
you
,
that
I
did
not
Rebuke
the
Man
in
mine
own
Will
,
but
the
Lord
,
by
my
Mouth
,
did
it
for
your
Souls
Sake
,
that
you
might
not
always
be
deceived
with
such
Men
,
whose
Mouths
,
not
the
Lord
,
but
filthy
Lucres
opens
;
for
when
the
Rich
Man
Dies
,
then
comes
the
Sermon
at
his
Buryal
,
but
the
Poor
Man
is
put
into
the
Earth
with
little
Noise
,
and
are
ye
so
Ignorant
as
to
think
that
the
Lord
takes
not
notice
of
such
things
,
and
doth
,
and
will
Reprove
them
:
Will
you
Punish
me
,
as
those
of
old
did
the
Prophets
,
for
doing
God's
Work
,
and
be
Guiltless
:
What
?
Will
you
say
with
such
evil
Men
,
that
the
Lord
hath
forsaken
the
Earth
,
and
is
there
Knowledge
in
the
most
High
?
And
will
you
say
,
you
have
a
Law
,
and
therefore
I
must
suffer
,
tho'
spoke
never
so
truly
;
because
not
according
to
your
Wills
,
what
think
you
of
the
Jews
,
who
said
concerning
Christ
,
We
have
a
Law
,
and
by
our
Law
he
ought
to
dye
.
And
why
consider
you
not
in
your selves
,
that
it
is
fit
for
God
,
by
whom
he
will
,
to
call
such
down
as
he
never
set
up
,
as
is
come
to
pass
in
this
present
Business
.
Whether
you
Prosecute
me
upon
Mary's
Act
,
or
upon
the
Oath
,
you
will
be
guilty
of
Evil
in
the
sight
of
God
in
both
,
for
in
the
one
you
will
but
Imitate
the
Papists
in
Mary's
Days
;
who
,
by
that
Law
,
endeavoured
to
stop
the
Mouth
of
God's
Witness
against
their
Superstitious
and
Idolatrous
Doings
:
And
by
the
other
,
you
will
make
your selves
like
them
whom
God
had
taken
way
before
you
,
who
Persecuted
me
,
because
I
could
not
Swear
,
and
so
break
the
Command
of
Christ
,
who
saith
unto
his
,
Swear
not
at
all
.
So
consider
what
you
do
,
for
it
is
not
me
,
but
the
Truth
of
God
in
me
,
that
you
have
set
your selves
against
;
for
I
would
not
have
you
destroy
your selves
by
striving
against
Gods
Truth
,
for
though
I
be
as
nothing
,
and
you
may
trample
upon
me
as
a
Man
,
yet
God's
Ever-blessed
Truth
,
which
dwells
in
me
,
and
is
with
me
,
and
for
me
in
this
,
as
in
other
of
his
Works
you
cannot
overcome
,
for
Truth
is
stronger
than
all
,
and
hath
ever
been
my
help
,
when
Men
of
Evil
Minds
have
risen
up
against
me
for
Truth
's
Sake
,
I
praise
the
Lord
:
And
so
I
have
found
,
by
manifold
Experience
,
That
Jerusalem
,
the
City
of
Truth
,
hath
been
a
burdensome
Stone
to
all
that
have
fought
against
it
;
as
saith
Scripture
,
Zechariah
12.3
.
So
if
you
be
wise
,
you
will
Understand
,
and
provide
for
your
Souls
Peace
,
by
letting
the
Innocent
go
free
,
and
not
keep
him
in
Bondage
for
Pleasing
your selves
,
and
the
Hirelings
,
whom
God
is
against
,
for
it
is
not
for
their
Sakes
that
the
late
wicked
Popish
Plot
was
discovered
,
but
for
God's
Ever-blessed
Truth
's
Sake
,
which
he
is
purposed
to
Exalt
in
these
latter
Days
,
and
for
the
sake
of
all
such
as
love
Truth
in
Sincerity

God's
Suffering
Servant
,
and
your
Friend
,
who
am
,
I
praise
God
,
no
more
,
nor
otherwise
a
disturber
of
your
Peace
,
or
the
Peoples
,
than
the
Prophet
Elias
was
in
his
Days
of
that
Generation
,
though
so
by
them
Accounted
,
1
Kings
18.17
,
18.
And
consider
well
,
in
the
cool
of
the
Day
,
what
is
the
reason
that
things
go
so
oddly
on
concerning
those
.
People
,
called
Papists
,
who
seek
the
hurt
of
all
,
without
Respect
of
Persons
or
Professions
,
who
cannot
bow
to
their
Idols
:
Is
it
not
your
Sins
,
O
People
,
and
your
keeping
amongst
you
so
much
of
the
Popish
Leaven
yet
Unpurged
out
from
you
,
as
it
was
the
Sins
and
Superstitions
of
Israel
of
old
,
that
gave
the
Babylonians
so
much
advantage
against
them
.
So
buy
of
Christ
Eye-salve
,
and
annoint
your
Eyes
with
it
that
you
may
see
,
and
then
all
things
will
be
plain
to
you
.
Thomas
Taylor

To
the
Generation
of
Fleshly
Fallen
Christians
,
not
worthy
the
Name
of
Christians
.
CHrist
Jesus
came
into
the
World
to
save
his
People
from
their
Sins
,
and
to
cleanse
their
Hearts
and
Lives
from
all
Unrighteousness
,
and
not
to
keep
up
the
Customs
of
the
Heathen
,
whose
Religion
stands
in
Eating
and
Drinking
,
and
Gameing
and
Sporting
,
and
every
way
serving
the
Lust
of
the
Flesh
,
and
of
the
Mind
which
must
Perish
;
for
Meats
for
the
Belly
,
and
the
Belly
for
Meats
,
but
God
shall
destroy
both
it
and
them
,
saith
the
Apostle
:
And
so
Christs
Doctrine
is
not
that
People
should
make
Provision
for
the
Flesh
to
satisfie
it
in
the
Lusts
thereof
,
with
Meats
,
Drinks
,
Pleasures
,
Pastimes
,
and
all
manner
of
foolish
Inventions
,
but
that
People
should
abstain
from
Fleshly
Lusts
,
because
they
War
against
the
Soul
.
And
did
not
the
Apostle
weep
for
such
as
made
a
God
of
their
Belly
,
and
Gloried
in
their
Shame
,
and
minded
Earthly
Things
;
and
plainly
tells
them
,
That
they
were
●nemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
and
their
End
was
Destruction
,

And
so
thou
,
whoever
thou
art
,
that
pretends
to
Honour
Christ
,
by
making
Provision
for
thy
Fleshly
Part
,
to
satisfie
it
in
the
Lusts
thereof
,
thou
art
no
Servant
of
God
and
Christ
in
this
,
but
a
denyer
of
his
Truth
;
and
so
instead
of
following
Christ
in
the
Regeneration
and
daily
Cross
,
and
Self
denlal
,
thou
follows
Christ's
Enemy
,
the
great
Antichrist
and
Satan
,
who
hath
seduced
the
Minds
of
People
from
Christ's
Doctrine
and
Life
,
into
the
Doctrine
and
Life
of
all
Unrighteousness
;
and
so
they
that
Eat
and
Drink
,
and
Game
and
Sport
after
the
Custome
of
the
Heathenish
World
,
their
Professing
of
Christ
in
Words
will
do
them
no
good
in
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
when
God
will
Reward
every
Man
according
to
their
Deeds
;
for
now
,
instead
of
a
Holy
,
Pure
,
Righteous
,
Self-denying
Life
which
God
requires
,
thou
offers
him
an
unclean
Sacrifice
of
an
unholy
and
corrupt
Life
which
he
will
not
accept
:
And
so
many
shall
come
in
that
Day
,
and
say
Lord
,
Lord
,
Open
unto
us
;
to
whom
he
will
Answer
,
I
know
ye
not
,
depart
ye
Workers
of
Iniquity
.
O
dreadful
Sentence
to
such
as
it
hits
;
who
,
like
Esau
,
sell
their
Birth-right
for
a
mess
of
Pottage
,
and
chuse
rather
to
follow
the
Fleshly
,
Sinful
World
in
the
broad
way
to
Destruction
,
than
the
Lambs
of
Christ
in
the
streight
way
that
leads
to
Life
Eternal
:
So
all
Awake
and
Arise
from
your
dead
defiled
Customs
and
Practices
of
Sin
,
to
the
pure
clean
Fear
and
Worship
of
God
;
for
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
Christ
is
a
Spiritual
Lord
,
and
will
be
Worshipped
and
Served
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
and
who
is
this
Day
seeking
such
to
Worship
him
,
who
shall
bring
forth
Fruits
to
him
worthy
,
amendment
of
Life
,
And
one
thing
is
needful
,
saith
Christ
,
and
Mary
that
sate
at
his
Feet
hearing
his
Word
,
chused
that
good
Part
which
shall
never
be
taken
from
her
;
but
Martha
was
cumbred
about
much
in
the
outward
;
as
too
many
are
now
,
and
that
in
a
Heart
far
from
that
of
Mary's
Heart
,
to
their
Souls
great
disadvantage
.
So
he
that
hath
an
Ear
,
let
him
hear
,
for
these
Words
are
Faithful
and
True
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
To
the
King
.
O
That
the
King
and
all
his
Councils
,
the
Parliament
and
the
Rest
would
hear
,
and
believe
these
Words
;
for
in
the
Truth
of
God's
Spirit
,
and
Uprightness
of
my
Heart
,
are
they
thus
written
,
and
sent
to
them
for
that
purpose
;
Consider
of
your
ways
,
for
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
the
Holy
One
,
Creator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
Mine
Anger
is
kindled
against
you
,
because
you
have
not
made
a
Separation
betwixt
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
,
but
have
numbred
my
People
,
who
tremble
at
my
Word
,
with
the
Transgressors
,
and
will
not
hear
the
Voice
of
my
Mouth
to
let
my
Israel
have
their
Liberty
to
meet
together
in
my
own
free
Spirit
,
as
I
have
Taught
them
to
wait
upon
me
,
and
to
Edify
one
another
in
their
most
Holy
Faith
;
but
you
will
Punish
them
,
and
Afflict
them
,
and
evil
Intreat
them
for
this
,
and
surely
if
you
go
on
in
this
Work
,
and
think
to
destroy
this
my
Heritage
from
being
a
People
upon
the
Earth
,
and
to
Root
them
up
from
bearing
a
Testimony
to
my
Name
in
their
Holy
Assemblies
before
the
Children
of
Men
,
I
will
Work
Wonders
;
yea
,
I
will
Work
Wonders
,
and
make
all
the
Earth
to
know
that
these
your
Thoughts
and
your
Doings
are
against
the
Lord
and
his
People
,
as
truly
as
ever
Pharoah
and
Egypt
,
and
the
Nations
there
abouts
,
in
that
Day
of
Israel
's
Oppressions
and
Deliverances
(
did
know
)
have
you
no
Vnderstanding
,
that
you
would
eat
up
my
People
as
Bread
,
saith
the
Lord
,
in
whose
hand
is
your
Breath
.
Oh!
that
you
could
once
lay
things
to
Heart
what
you
have
done
,
and
what
you
should
do
;
and
not
still
take
Counsel
at
a
wrong
Spirit
,
which
hurries
you
thus
on
in
a
way
that
is
not
good
,
to
the
grief
of
God's
Spirit
;
and
,
in
the
end
,
(
if
continued
in
)
your
own
Destruction
,
have
you
not
Heard
,
and
do
not
you
Read
,
what
God
hath
done
in
former
times
to
great
Kings
and
strong
Nations
,
for
their
Doings
against
his
People
;
and
do
you
not
know
that
the
same
Evil
Spirit
which
causes
you
in
other
things
to
do
what
you
ought
not
to
do
,
and
to
leave
undone
what
you
ought
to
do
,
is
the
putter
of
you
forward
in
this
grievous
Work
of
Persecuting
the
Seed
of
God
,
who
Fear
and
Tremble
at
his
Word
,
and
work
out
their
Salvation
with
Fear
and
Trembling
,
as
the
Lord
Commands
;
and
who
,
in
their
Meetings
,
never
had
,
nor
at
this
Day
have
any
other
end
,
but
to
Glorifie
their
God
,
the
true
God
over
all
,
in
obeying
his
Voice
with
a
true
good
Will
in
our
Hearts
towards
all
Men
,
without
the
least
thought
of
Evil
to
any
,
as
God's
true
God
over
all
Men
,
without
the
least
thought
of
Evil
to
any
,
as
God's
true
Witness
in
all
Consciences
,
where
it
is
harkened
unto
,
doth
plainly
Testifie
at
this
Day
,
as
it
hath
done
ever
since
we
were
to
God
a
People
:
For
from
War
,
Bloodshed
,
Wrong
and
Spoil
hath
the
Lord
called
and
delivered
our
Souls
into
his
Holy
Habitation
of
Truth
,
Peace
and
Love
;
that
as
Lambs
we
might
in
the
midst
of
the
Earth
stand
in
Christ's
Innocency
,
to
hold
forth
the
Virtues
of
God
,
who
hath
Blessed
us
in
Christ
Jesus
,
with
the
Knowledge
of
himself
,
whom
to
know
is
Life
Eternal
:
And
so
if
you
hate
us
because
God
loves
us
,
what
will
be
the
end
;
O
Consider
,
consider
,
this
matter
is
of
the
weightiest
Nature
:
And
so
,
though
at
present
,
by
reason
of
the
Darkness
that
is
upon
your
Minds
,
you
do
not
see
us
as
we
are
,
but
present
us
to
your selves
,
as
Evil-doers
,
or
so
;
yet
seeing
you
know
in
your
own
Consciences
,
as
in
Words
also
you
often
Confess
that
in
other
things
you
are
miserable
Offenders
;
you
ought
to
be
more
Moderate
,
Sparing
and
Careful
what
you
do
in
this
present
matter
concerning
us
;
because
where
Sin
is
,
and
remains
,
there
must
of
necessity
be
a
want
of
Ability
as
to
the
right
judging
and
discerning
of
Men
and
Matters
Spiritual
,
as
Christ
foretold
of
some
,
that
,
through
the
Error
of
their
Minds
,
should
think
they
did
God
Service
,
when
they
were
Killing
his
Children
:
This
was
a
sad
Mistake
.
Therefore
let
this
be
upon
your
Hearts
when
you
lye
down
,
and
when
you
rise
up
,
and
when
you
sit
in
Counsel
,
and
walk
by
the
Way
,
to
keep
you
from
Sinning
this
great
Sin
against
God
,
for
never
did
any
strive
against
God
and
Prosper
;
and
thus
,
in
God's
Spirit
,
having
given
you
in
a
few
Words
,
a
hint
of
what
certainly
is
,
and
will
be
:
And
so
having
cleared
my
Conscience
to
God
,
and
paid
my
debt
of
Love
to
you
in
this
matter
,
I
leave
all
to
him
,
who
is
the
righteous
Judge
,
and
the
true
Pleader
of
the
Cause
of
the
Innocent
in
all
Generations
,
and
the
Avenger
of
all
Wrongs
that
are
done
upon
the
Earth
;
and
rests
his
Servant
,
in
whose
Love
is
my
Souls
Life
,
who
am
a
Sufferer
for
the
Testimony
of
the
Everlasting
Truth
,
amongst
the
Despised
People
of
God
,
whom
the
World
,
in
Scorn
,
call
Quakers
;
yet
the
Reproach
of
Christ
to
us
is
great
Riches
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
An
Exhortation
to
remember
the
Judgments
of
God
.
HOW
long
,
O
ye
People
of
this
present
time
,
will
ye
grieve
and
burden
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
with
your
Works
?
How
long
shall
he
suffer
your
Manners
unpunished
?
Is
it
not
high
time
for
the
Lord
to
lay
to
his
Hand
,
seeing
you
have
so
covered
his
Law
with
your
Traditions
and
vain
Customs
,
that
the
poor
People
can
hardly
find
any
one
thing
you
do
,
savouring
of
Pure
Christian
Doctrine
,
or
the
Apostles
Practice
?
But
the
Hand
of
the
Man
of
Sin
is
the
Worker
in
you
,
and
by
the
power
of
the
Earth
is
your
Building
upheld
;
But
Wo
to
the
Building
which
the
Lord
hath
not
builded
,
and
Wo
to
the
Builders
of
that
House
wherein
all
the
Wicked
of
the
World
inhabit
,
lye
down
,
and
are
at
ease
,
and
bring
forth
their
Young
:
Is
this
the
Church
of
God
?
Nay
,
nay
,
this
is
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
,
and
not
of
the
Living
God
,
for
the
House
of
God
is
Holy
,
and
nothing
but
Holiness
dwells
there
,
nothing
that
defileth
can
enter
this
day
into
God's
Temple
,
for
Holiness
is
the
Ornament
of
God's
House
for
ever
.
So
Wo
to
the
false
Builders
and
Daubers
,
that
cry
Peace
to
People
in
their
Sins
;
the
Lord
speaks
no
Peace
to
any
Sinners
,
but
Judgments
,
Plagues
,
and
Woes
to
Priests
and
People
who
live
in
their
Sins
,
and
plead
for
a
Continuance
in
Sin
as
long
as
they
live
,
as
at
this
day
.
Wo
to
the
unspiritual
Men
,
that
bind
heavy
Burdens
upon
others
,
and
will
not
touch
them
with
one
of
their
Fingers
;
that
bind
the
poor
Men
whom
they
call
Wardens
of
their
Church
,
by
Oath
,
to
do
impossible
things
,
and
punish
them
that
make
Conscience
of
their
Ways
and
dare
not
Swear
nor
Forswear
,
but
would
keep
their
Hearts
clean
to
Christ
,
in
whose
Church
is
neither
Swearing
nor
Forswearing
this
day
,
but
the
Yea
is
Yea
,
and
the
Nay
is
Nay
,
in
all
things
,
in
Truth
and
Righteousness
.
But
Wo
to
the
wicked
World
,
that
takes
God's
Name
in
their
polluted
Lips
,
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
judge
thee
in
Flames
of
Fire
,
for
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
dawned
upon
thee
,
and
thy
building
will
he
thrown
down
,
and
a
visible
downfall
shall
Babylon
have
upon
the
Face
of
all
the
Earth
,
for
the
Pastors
have
not
gathered
in
,
nor
visited
with
Truth
,
the
good
Seed
,
but
with
Force
and
Violence
over
it
do
they
Rule
;
and
therefore
is
the
Lord
arisen
to
plead
the
Cause
of
the
Poor
and
Innocent
,
as
the
Mouth
of
the
Lord
hath
said
.
So
be
it
.
And
let
all
the
Earth
fear
and
tremble
before
the
Lord
this
day
,
f●r
our
God
,
the
true
God
,
is
a
consuming
Fire
,
and
will
by
no
mea●s
acquit
the
Guilty
.
Thomas

To
the
Unclean
Communicants
.
YOU
that
tell
of
a
Communion
,
and
say
,
you
eat
Bread
and
drink
Wine
in
remembrance
of
Christ's
Death
,
and
yet
live
in
your
Sins
,
confessing
with
your
own
Mouths
,
that
you
daily
leave
undone
that
which
you
ought
to
have
done
,
and
do
what
you
ought
not
to
do
,
and
that
there
is
no
Health
in
you
:
Consider
of
your
Ways
,
and
see
in
what
your
Fellowship
and
Communion
stands
,
Doth
it
not
stand
in
Sin
and
Disobedience
?
And
examine
your selves
what
you
eat
,
Do
you
not
eat
Damnation
to
your selves
,
not
discerning
the
Lord's
Body
?
For
the
Lord's
Body
is
Holy
,
but
you
are
Unholy
,
and
live
in
Unholiness
,
as
your selves
confess
,
and
as
is
manifest
in
your
Lives
and
Conversations
;
so
you
have
cut
your selves
off
from
being
of
Christ's
Holy
Body
,
you
that
live
in
your
Sins
,
and
do
your
own
Wills
,
and
leave
undone
that
which
he
wills
now
to
do
;
for
no
unholy
or
unclean
thing
can
be
joyned
to
Christ's
holy
Body
.
Again
,
Christ's
Body
is
a
sound
and
healthful
Body
,
and
no
Leper
in
it
,
but
you
have
no
Health
in
you
,
as
you
confess
,
and
so
you
are
of
that
Body
and
Number
who
have
not
as
yet
so
much
as
touched
the

Extolled

O
Thou
pure
God
of
all
Heavenly
Glory
,
Virtue
and
Goodness
,
how
Holy
are
all
thy
Ways
,
and
Righteous
all
thy
Judgments
!
O
how
plainly
and
clearly
hast
thou
manifested
thy
Mind
and
Will
to
Mankind
in
all
Generations
,
and
especially
since
the
first
publishing
of
thy
Gospel
,
and
in
this
of
ours
,
and
yet
alas
with
grief
of
Heart
may
it
be
said
,
never
was
the
Earth
more
burthened
with
the
Evil
of
her
Inhabitants
than
at
this
day
;
never
was
there
more
provoking
of
God
by
evil
Customs
and
bad
Doings
than
now
,
They
spend
their
Days
in
satisfying
the
Lusts
of
the
Flesh
,
and
of
the
Mind
,
that
is
Earthly
,
Sensual
and
Devilish
,
and
say
in
their
Hearts
unto
God
,
Depart
from
us
,
for
we
desire
not
the
Knowledge
of
thy
Ways
.
The
strait
way
of
Christ
they
perfectly
hate
,
and
the
broad
way
of
the
World
,
which
leads
to
Destruction
,
they
willingly
chuse
,
because
their
Hearts
are
evil
;
and
to
Christ's
Light
they
will
not
bring
their
Deeds
,
because
they
be
so
evil
,
that
the
Light
will
utterly
condemn
them
.
And
thus
in
the
Blindness
of
their
uncircumcised
Hearts
,
they
heap
up
Wrath
against
the
Day
of
Wrath
and
Revelation
of
God's
just
Judgments
upon
them
.
And
though
the
Trumpet
of
the
Lord
hath
been
plentifully
sounded
amongst
them
,
yet
they
will
not
hear
nor
awaken
to
Judgment
,
but
say
in
their
Hearts
,
Yet
a
little
more
Sleep
,
yet
a
little
more
folding
of
the
Hands
to
Slumber
,
the
Judgment
is
far
off
,
we
will
not
forego
our
present
Pleasures
and
worldly
Delights
for
Glory
to
come
;
Where
is
he
that
's
come
from
the
Dead
to
tell
us
what
's
in
another
World
?
Let
's
Eat
and
Drink
and
take
our
Fill
of
Pleasures
,
for
to-morrow
we
Dye

are
not

they

O
the
Wretched
,
O
the
Atheistical
Hearts
of
the
Men
of
this
present
evil
and
adulterous
Generation
!
The
Lord
is
gathering
his
Lots
from
amongst
them
into
his
happy
Fold
of
Truth
and
Rest
,
that
the
Judgments
of
God
may
hasten
upon
the
wicked
Sodom
and
Egypt
who
burden
the
Just
,
that
God's
righteous
Soul
may
be
eased
of
them
:
Even

ANSWER'D
and
CONFUTED
.
RICHARD
BAXTER
,
a
Man
,
who
through
a
shew
of
Learning
and
Religion
,
had
gotten
(
in
Oliver
Cromwell's
Days
)
a
great
Esteem
in
the
Minds
of
the
Ignorantly
Zealous
Professors
of
Religion
in
this
Nation
,
and
especially
in
the
Parts
of
Worcester-shire
,
about
Kidderminster
,
(
where
he
then
resided
)
hath
since
the
Change
of
the
Times
,
and
coming
in
of
the
Old
Common-Prayer-Book-again
,
much
manifested
his
Nakedness
,
Confusion
,
and
Unsoundness
to
every
Eye
,
that
in
any
measure
is
open
to
see
the
difference
of
Truth
and
Error
in
the
ground
of
it
,
as
by
his
Works
appear
:
And
that
it
is
so
,
amongst
other
things
,
that
Book
of
his
,
fasly
call'd
,
The
Cure
of
Church-Divisions
,
which
I
have
now
under-hand
to
Answer
,
doth
plainly
manifest
:
For
,
instead
of
Curing
Divisions
,
he
hath
shew'd
himself
to
be
a
Physician
of
no
Value
,
and
so
instead
of
Curing
,
hath
struck
at
(
under
a
Judas
Kiss
of
Unity
and
Concord
)
the
very
Life
and
Foundation
of
all
true
Christian
Unity
and
Amity
;
to
wit
,
The
Free
and
Perfect
Teachings
,
and
Gifts
,
and
Work
of
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
(
the
Spirit
of
the
Father
and
Son
in
his
Believing
Members
)
whereby
they
cry
in
a
spotless
Mind
,
Abba
Father
,
and
freely
and
powerfully
declare
the
Glory
of
his
Kingdom
to
the
Children
of
Men
;
and
instead
thereof
,
would
bring
in
and
establish
that
Soul-deceiving
and
Church-dividing
Doctrine
of
Humane
Learning
and
Humane
Helps
,
as
absolutely
necessary
to
the
procuring
and
engaging
,
as
it
were
,
the
Holy
unlimited
God
to
give
unto
the
Creature
his
Holy
Spirit
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
the
Mysteries
of
his
Eternal
Will
and
Kingdom
for
the
same
;
as
in
Answer
to
an
Objection
in
the
6th
Page
of
his
Book
,
in
his
first
Direction
(
so
call'd
)
is
to
be
seen
.
The
Objection
against
his
Carnal
Reasonings
,
for
Old
Men's
Knowledge
,
is
in
Page
5.
where
he
saith
,
I
know
those
that
I
have
to
do
with
will
say
,
That
Divinity
is
not
learn'd
by
Labour
and
Men's
teaching
,
as
other
Sciences
and
Arts
are
;
but
by
Teaching
(
I
add
,
yea
,
and
most
free
Gift
)
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
therefore
the
Youngest
may
have
as
much
of
it
as
the
Eldest
.
And
to
this
R.
B.
there
thus
Answers
.
Answ.
There
is
some
Truth
(
saith
he
)
and
some
Falshood
,
and
much
Confusion
in
this
Objection
.
But
let
us
hear
how
this
R.
B.
proves
that
,
that
there
is
either
Falshood
or
Confusion
in
the
Objection
.
It
is
true
(
saith
he
)
that
the
Saving
Knowledge
of
Divinity
must
be
taught
by
the
Spirit
of
God
;
but
it
is
false
,
that
Labour
and
Humane
Teaching
are
not
the
Means
which
must
be
us'd
by
them
who
will
have
the
Teaching
of
the
Spirit
.
Reply
,
But
O
the
Darkness
,
yea
,
rather
Enmity
,
that
is
in
R.
B's
Heart
against
the
free
Teaching
of
God's
Spirit
!
That
he
would
find
any
thing
against
so
plain
and
manifest
Truth
,
as
is
in
this
Objection
!
But
what
will
not
Flesh
do
that
is
lifted
up
with
Conceits
of
his
own
Wisdom
,
to
keep
up
its
Honour
before
the
People
,
rather
than
the
Pur●
Undoubted
Truth
of
the
Gospel
,
and
Self-abasing
Spirit
of
Truth
,
should
Reign
and
have
the
Preheminence
.
But
to
this
I
say
,
that
a
Child
of
Light
,
in
the
least
Measure
,
doth
easily
see
the
Falshood
of
that
Spirit
,
by
which
this
R.
B.
is
acted
in
this
his
Answer
:
For
the
Wind
of
the
Spirit
bloweth
where
it
listeth
,
and
thou
hearest
the
sound
thereof
,
thou
natural
Man
;
but
neither
knows
whence
it
comes
,
nor
whither
it
goes
;
so
is
every
one
that
is
Born
of
God
:
And
without
this
Birth
,
all
thy
Knowledge
is
Damning
,
not
Saving
,
John
3.7
,
8
,
&c.
And
Job
32.7.8
.
I
said
,
Days
should
Speak
,
and
multitude
of
Years
should
Teach
Wisdom
:
But
there
is
a
Spirit
in
Man
;
and
the
Inspiration
of
the
Almighty
giveth
them
understanding
.
And
saith
God
,
It
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
last
Days
,
that
I
will
pour
out
my
Spirit
upon
all
Flesh
;
and
they
shall
all
know
me
,
from
the
least
to
the
g●eatest
:
Yea
,
and
Young-men
shall
see
Visions
,
and
Servants
and
Hand-maids
shall
Prophesie
:
And
ye
have
received
an
Vnction
from
the
Holy
One
:
And
ye
know
all
things
,
(
saith
the
Apostle
John
)
and
ye
need
not
that
any
Man
teach
you
.
This
is
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
wherein
these
things
are
fulfill'd
;
prais'd
be
God
:
And
the
New
Covenant
abundantly
witness'd
in
the
Children
of
Light
,
whom
this
wicked
Book
of
R.
B's
strikes
at
;
but
his
Wickedness
turns
upon
his
own
Pate
,
and
his
own
Iniquities
shall
slay
him
:
For
he
,
by
his
Carnal
Wisdom
,
would
darken
Knowledge
,
and
shut
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
Men
,
as
his
Predecessors
of
Old
,
the
Pharis●es
mention'd
Mat.
23.
did
:
But
the
Lord
hath
open'd
a
Door
to
the
Believing
Souls
this
Day
,
which
all
the
Powers
of
Darkness
shall
never
be
able
to
shut
;
Glory
to
his
Name
for
Ever
.
But
what
is
that
Labour
and
Humane
Means
that
People
must
use
for
getting
the
Spirit
of
God
,
or
Saving
Knowledge
of
Divinity
,
as
he
calls
it
?
Is
it
tumbling
over
a
Ruck
of
Books
,
stuffed
with
Art
and
Humane
Wisdom
,
or
Learning
from
below
,
as
this
R.
B.
hath
long
done
,
to
the
darkning
of
his
Heart
from
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
and
Way
of
his
Spirit
;
so
that
he
knows
nothing
of
it
,
after
all
his
long
lost
Labour
,
but
what
he
knows
naturally
,
as
a
Brute
Beast
(
and
that
's
plain
)
for
it
sanctifies
him
not
,
as
by
his
confessing
,
That
his
best
Duties
,
even
his
Prayers
,
are
not
without
Sin
;
and
affirming
,
That
no
Man
prays
without
Sin
?
As
in
his
Book
is
to
be
seen
,
Page
195.
and
in
his
Preface
.
And
so
the
Prayer
of
Faith
,
and
Preaching
by
the
Spirit
,
he
is
ignorant
of
;
yea
,
Preaching
by
the
Spirit
is
become
a
Mock
and
a
Derision
to
him
and
his
Brethren
at
this
Day
:
But
Paul
,
and
all
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
Magnifie
the
Free
Grace
and
Infinite
Gift
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
according
to
that
(
2
Cor.
3.
)
saying
,
Not
that
we
are
sufficient
of
our selves
to
think
a
good
Thought
;
but
our
Ability
is
of
God
,
who
hath
made
us
able
Ministers
of
the
New
Testament
;
not
of
the
Letter
,
but
of
the
Spirit
;
for
the
Letter
kills
,
but
the
Spirit
gives
Life
:
And
that
which
the
Eye
hath
not
seen
,
nor
Ear
heard
,
nor
hath
entred
into
the
Heart
of
Man
(
or
Humane
Heart
)
to
conceive
,
hath
God
reveal'd
to
us
by
his
Spirit
;
for
the
Spirit
searcheth
all
things
,
yea
,
the
Deep
Things
of
God
;
and
which
Things
we
Preach
or
Speak
not
in
the
words
which
Man
's
(
or
Humane
)
Wisdom
teacheth
,
but
which
the
Holy
Ghost
teacheth
,
comparing
Spiritual
things
with
Spiritual
,
1
Cor.
2.
But
this
R.
B.
comparing
Spiritual
Things
with
Carnal
,
is
not
wise
,
who
,
because
Old
Men
,
and
long
Students
in
Arts
and
worldly
Sciences
,
are
most
Wise
,
or
likely
to
be
so
;
therefore
they
that
Labour
and
Study
most
in
Books
of
Divinity
(
so
call'd
)
get
most
of
the
Spirit
's
Teaching
.
O
sad
!
that
ever
the
Minds
of
the
Children
of
Men
should
be
so
cover'd
with
Darkness
,
and
yet
read
the
Scripture
of
Truth
,
which
witnesses
to
no
one
thing
more
than
to
the
Free
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
without
Humane
Helps
!
For
all
the
Help
that
is
Humane
,
or
that
Man
who
is
(
ab
humo
,
that
is
)
from
the
Earth
can
afford
,
is
but
Natural
,
and
of
this
World
,
which
comes
to
nought
;
therefore
is
it
said
,
That
none
of
the
Princes
(
that
is
,
the
Chief
Men
)
of
this
World
knew
the
Mystery
of
Christ
and
his
Kingdom
then
,
which
made
them
so
Band
against
him
,
see
the
2d
Psalm
.
And
the
Natural
Man
,
with
all
his
Natural
Means
,
discerns
not
the
things
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
because
they
are
spiritually
discern'd
:
So
every
one
that
would
know
the
Mind
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
must
come
to
feel
(
through
the
Most
Holy
Faith
)
a
measure
of
it
in
themselves
:
For
,
after
ye
believ'd
,
ye
were
Seal'd
with
the
Spirit
of
Promise
,
saith
Paul
:
And
the
Word
is
nigh
thee
,
even
in
thy
Heart
and
Mouth
:
O
thou
that
hast
an
Ear
to
hear
,
hear
what
the
Spirit
speaks
,
even
the
Word
of
Faith
,
which
we
Preach
:
Therefore
go
not
forth
from
the
Anointing
of
God
in
thy
Heart
,
to
hear
the
frothy
and
false
Doctrine
of
such
as
R.
B.
who
have
run
and
set
up
themselves
by
their
Humane
Helps
,
in
the
Place
of
Teachers
,
and
God
never
sent
them
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
profit
the
People
at
all
;
but
lead
them
about
,
like
silly
Women
,
laden
with
divers
Sins
and
Lusts
;
yea
,
in
their
Prayers
and
best
Performances
,
as
is
manifest
;
and
so
,
not
being
sent
and
enabled
by
God's
Spirit
,
they
can
never
lead
you
to
it
,
but
from
it
,
as
is
manifest
.
Also
R.
B.
in
Page
6.
before-mention'd
,
saith
,
The
Objection
hath
much
Confusion
in
it
.
(
And
how
proves
he
that
?
But
by
saying
)
1.
It
confoundeth
the
Spirit
's
teaching
us
,
by
inditing
the
Scripture
with
the
Spirit
's
teaching
us
the
meaning
of
the
Scriptures
.
2.
And
it
confoundeth
the
Common
Knowledge
of
Divinity
,
with
the
Saving
Knowledge
of
it
.
No
Man
cometh
to
a
Common
Knowledge
,
fit
for
a
Teacher
of
others
,
without
the
Spirit
's
teaching
by
the
Scriptures
;
for
that
was
the
first
part
of
the

us
,
to
inspire
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
,
to
deliver
a
Teaching
Word
to
the
Churches
,
by
which
we
might
all
be
taught
of
God
through
all
Generations
.
But
many
Men
have
Excellent
Common
Knowledge
by
this
Word
,
and
by
the
Common
Help
of
the
Spirit
,
without
that
Special
Help
,
which
begetteth
Saving
Knowledge
:
And
all
Knowledge
requireth
Time
and
Labour
to
obtain
it
,
though
the
Spirit
giveth
it
,
and
though
it
may
be
sanctified
to
us
in
a
little
time
;
but
that
may
be
a
means
of
saving
others
,
which
saveth
not
the
Man
that
hath
it
.

farther
saith
,
Take
them
not
for
no
Ministers
that
want
Grace
totally
:
And
marvel
not
that
Gifts
are
more
necessary
to
the
validity
of
Ministration
,
than
Grace
is
;
he
may
perform
the
Office
of
a
Minister
to
the
Benefit
of
the
Church
,
that
hath
no
Saving
Grace
at
all
.
Thus
far
R.
B.
O!
What
Sorcery
and
Egyptian-darkness
is
here
,
to
make
void
the
New
Covenant
,
and
Free
Gracious
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
these
Days
,
and
to
Establish
the
Letter
in
the
room
and
stead
thereof
,
which
only
witnesses
to
is
,
and
is
a
Declaration
concerning
what
the
Spirit
of
God
did
in
them
,
and
in
the
World
before
Christ's
coming
in
the
Flesh
,
and
what
was
done
during
his
being
in
it
,
and
what
the
Spirit
would
do
in
the
Believing
Souls
,
and
in
the
World
after
that
time
?
But
this
the
Hirelings
do
,
that
they
by
their
trading
with
,
and
giving
their
false
meanings
upon
the
Scriptures
,
they
may
keep
the
People
in
Blindness
,
and
so
from
the
Anointing
,
and
Teaching
,
and
Enjoyment
of
that
Spirit
that
was
in
them
that
gave
forth
Scriptures
,
that
they
may
not
see
their
deceitful
Doctrines
and
Merchandizes
,
lest
they
should
buy
no
more
of
them
:
For
no
Man
that
knows
the
badness
of
Babylon
will
buy
them
any
more
,
and
then
will
the
Merchants
of
Souls
mourn
:
For
,
they
that
know
the
Lord
,
and
his
Spirit
's
Teaching
in
them
,
which
is
the
Good
Old
Way
,
yea
,
and
the
ever
New
,
Fresh
,
Profitable
,
and
Living
WAY
,
will
follow
no
more
such
Men
,
as
would
bring
in
,
and
establish
a
Graceless
Ministry
,
as
this
R.
B.
doth
here
,
to
his
Shame
.
But
such
Graceless
Priests
the
Lord
will
have
none
of
;
nor
his
People
neither
:
For
my
Sheep
hear
my
Voice
,
saith
Christ
,
and
a
stranger
they
will
not
hear
:
Surely
a
Graceless
Man
is
this
Stranger
:
They
(
to
wit
,
graceless
Men
,
saith
John
,
1
Epist.
4.
)
are
of
the
World
,
and
the
World
hear
them
;
we
are
of
God
;
Stewards
of
the
manifold
Grace
of
God
,
1
Pet.
4.10
.
And
they
that
are
of
God
hear
us
.
And
so
,
Ever
Bless'd
and
Prais'd
be
the
Great
and
Glorious
Name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
who
hath
restor'd
to
them
that
Obey
him
,
the
Glorious
Doctrine
of
the
Spirit
's
Teaching
,
as
was
in
the
Apostles
Days
,
according
to
his
true
Promise
;
where
all
in
the
Truth
(
of
which
we
,
the
People
of
God
,
in
Scorn
call'd
Quakers
,
are
Members
)
is
done
in
and
by
the
Holy
Spirit
,
prais'd
be
God
;
and
nothing
own'd
amongst
us
,
but
what
is
so
done
:
Here
is
Praying
in
and
by
the
Spirit
,
and
Preaching
in
and
by
the
Spirit
,
and
Singing
in
and
by
the
Spirit
of
our
Holy
Lord
God
;
and
so
the
Head
being
Spiritual
,
and
the
Members
of
the
Body
every
one
Spiritual
,
(
for
we
are
all
Baptized
by
one
Holy
Spirit
into
the
one
Heavenly
Body
)
our
Food
is
also
Spiritual
Heavenly
Bread
,
and
Heavenly
Wine
,
and
the
Water
Spiritual
that
sanctifies
us
,
and
mak●s
us
clean
to
God
in
all
our
Sacrifices
and
Services
:
For
Christ
gave
himself
for
his
Church
,
which
is
his
Body
,
that
he
might
wash
it
,
and
present
it
spotless
to
himself
,
and
without
all
Deformity
,
by
the
washing
of
Water
(
even
the
Water
of
Life
)
in
the
Word
of
Life
,
the
Creating
Word
of
the
Everlasting
Father
,
which
is
Spirit
and
Life
,
the
Resurrection
and
the
Life
in
every
believing
Soul
;
for
we
are
Redeemed
from
Death
thereby
,
that
we
might
for
Ever
hereafter
serve
God
,
in
the
newness
of
his
own
Spirit
,
and
not
in
the
oldness
of
the
Letter
,
as
all
such
do
as
know
no
other
Teaching
Word
but
the
Letter
,
as
this
R.
B.
doth
;
and
so
they
having
gotten
a
little
Brain-knowledge
by
their
Humane
Helps
,
and
not
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
they
wrest
Scripture
to
their
own
and
others
Destruction
,
desiring
and
boasting
themselves
to
be
Masters
and
Teachers
of
others
,
whilst
themselves
need
teaching
what
the
very
Principles
,
or
beginning
Doctrines
of
the
true
Christian
Religion
is
,
as
is
plainly
manifested
by
his
seeking
to
bring
in
a
graceless
Minister
,
or
Wolf
into
Christ's
Fold
,
surely
the
Wolf
comes
not
but
to
rob
and
destroy
.
All
that
ever
came
before
me
,
saith
Christ
,
are
Thieves
and
Robbers
,
and
never
came
in
by
the
Door
,
as
its
plain
,
the
Graceless
Man
doth
not
,
but
hath
climb'd
up
another
way
by
his
Humane
Helps
,
as
Baxter
speaks
;
and
to
this
purpose
,
see
John
the
10th
,
and
Mat.
23.
where
Christ
at
large
sets
forth
such
Wolfish
Teachers
;
who
can
perk
themselves
up
in
Places
of
Teachers
,
by
the
World's
help
outwardly
;
but
will
neither
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
themselves
,
nor
suffer
others
,
but
shut
up
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
against
Men
,
by
such
deceitful
Doctrine
and
Antichristian
Inventions
,
as
this
R.
B.
hath
,
by
saying
,
That
Gifts
are
more
necessary
to
the
validity
of
Ministration
,
than
Grace
is
;
and
that
he
may
perform
the
Office
of
a
Minister
to
the
Benefit
of
the
Church
,
that
hath
no
Saving
Grace
at
all
;
And
all
Knowledge
requireth
Time
and
Labour
to
obtain
it
,
though
the
Spirit
giveth
it
;
which
last
saying
doth
directly
thwart
and
contradict
the
Scripture
;
which
saith
,
I
was
found
of
them
that
sought
me
not
,
Isa.
65.1
.
And
Paul
sets
believing
and
working
in
this
great
Matter
of
the
Knowledge
of
God
and
Christ
to
Salvation
,
one
against
the
other
,
as
the
way
of
the
Law
and
Gospel
;
for
to
him
that
worketh
,
saith
he
,
is
the
Reward
reckon'd
of
Debt
,
not
Gift
of
Grace
;
but
to
him
that
Believeth
it
is
of
Grace
,
to
the
Glory
of
God's
great
Love
to
Man
;
for
saith
the
Scripture
,
God
so
loved
the
World
,
that
he
gave
his
Son
,
that
whosoever
on
him
believe
,
should
not
perish
,
but
have
Life
Eternal
:
And
none
can
truly
say
,
but
those
are
the
best
knowers
,
and
wisest
People
,
that
have
Eternal
Life
in
them
,
though
they
never
laboured
for
it
,
nor
sought
for
it
;
and
so
such
as
this
R.
B.
who
looks
at
all
,
as
obtain'd
by
Time
and
Labour
,
they
are
those
Spiritual
Proud
Ones
,
who
are
swel●ed
so
big
with
Spiritual
Pride
,
that
Self-idolizing
Sin
,
which
,
as
himself
saith
,
in
his
second
Direction
(
so
called
)
is
the
great
Rebel
against
God
,
the
chief
part
of
the
Devil's
Image
,
that
one
Sin
which
breaketh
every
Commandment
;
the
Heart
of
the
Old
Man
,
the
Root
,
and
Parent
,
and
Summary
of
all
other
Sin
;
the
Antichristian
Vice
,
which
is
most
directly
contrary
to
the
Life
of
Christ
,
&c.
and
these
Letter-wise
Men
,
that
have
parched
together
a
Garment
of
Fig-leaves
,
to
cover
their
sinful
Nakedness
,
are
Proud
of
meer
supposed
Spiritual
Excellencies
;
for
the
way
of
the
Blessed
Spirit
,
and
its
free
Gifts
,
and
free
Workings
in
the
Children
of
Men
,
they
are
strangers
unto
;
and
then
through
their
Humane
Learning
,
and
lost
Labour
,
having
gotten
a
little
or
a
great
deal
of
talk
from
the
Letter
of
the
Scripture
concerning
Religion
,
in
their
Earthly
Spirits
,
which
sees
nothing
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
they
condemn
the
Generation
of
the
Just
,
whom
God
teacheth
and
Blesseth
with
all
Spiritual
Knowledge
in
Heavenly
Things
,
and
call
them
Spiritually
Proud
;
because
they
cannot
but
speak
very
highly
,
and
yet
in
the
truest
humility
of
Heart
,
concerning
the
great
Things
that
God
hath
done
for
their
Souls
;
and
because
they
cannot
join
with
the
Wicked
whom
God
abhorreth
,
neither
in
their
Worship
,
nor
other
sinful
Customs
.
And
so
out
of
that
Old
Bottel
,
come
all
those
unsavoury
Expressions
of
R.
B.
before-mentioned
,
against
the
free
Teachings
of
God's
Spirit
;
yea
,
so
great
an
Enemy
he
is
to
the
wholsom
Doctrine
of
Free
Grace
,
that
Page
7.
he
saith
,
Is
it
not
Blaspheming
of
God's
Spirit
,
to
make
it
the
Patron
of
Mens
sloth
and
idleness
under
pretence
of
Magnifying
Grace
?
To
which
I
answer
,
That
pretending
we
deny
,
and
truly
say
,
with
the
Apostle
,
That
God
who
commanded
Light
to
shine
out
of
Darkness
,
hath
shined
in
our
Hearts
,
to
give
us
(
yea
,
most
freely
without
our
own
La-Labour
,
or
any
Humane
Help
)
The
Knowledge
of
the
Glory
of
his
Kingdom
;
and
those
that
call
this
Doctrine
,
either
in
the
Apostle
,
or
us
,
a
Patronizing
of
Sloth
and
Idleness
,
are
those
that
do
really
Blaspheme
God's
Spirit
which
teacheth
it
.
But
many
Texts
(
saith
R.
B.
)
commands
us
diligence
;
and
sloth
is
a
great
Sin
.
To
which
I
say
,
the
Scripture
indeed
commands
a
diligent
Improvement
,
and
holy
Exercise
of
the
free
Gifts
which
the
Spirit
hath
given
the
Faithful
:
But
the
Scripture
never
said
,
that
Humane
Labour
and
Helps
are
the
Means
to
be
used
for
getting
the
Spirit
's
Teachings
;
and
without
which
no
Knowledge
in
Spiritual
Matters
is
now
received
;
Stir
up
the
Gift
of
God
in
thee
,
saith
Paul
to
Timothy
,
so
say
I
;
but
he
no where
puts
the
Humane
or
Carnal
Man
to
Work
or
Labour
to
get
the
Spirit
;
for
that
is
quite
contrary
to
this
Scripture
,
Gal.
3.2
.
as
also
Rom.
9.16
.
Obj.
But
this
R.
B.
asks
this
Question
,
Why
hath
God
setled
a
Teaching
Office
in
his
Church
,
and
commanded
all
to
attend
,
and
hear
,
and
learn
,
if
we
are
taught
by
the
Spirit
without
Man's
help
?
Why
were
the
Apostles
sent
forth
into
all
the
World
,
&
c
?
Answer
,
Here
is
the
great
stumbling
of
these
Unbelievers
,
(
the
Worldly-wise
Ones
indeed
)
what
,
because
God
in
his
free
unlimited
Spirit
did
begift
Men
,
and
in
his
own
Spiritual
Power
sent
them
forth
to
preach
and
publish
all
abroad
the
Glory
of
his
Kingdom
,
and
Good
Will
to
Men
;
cannot
People
therefore
be
taught
by
the
Spirit
without
Man's
help
?
What
Reasoning's
this
?
When
the
Scripture
expresly
saith
,
That
all
the
Gifts
,
and
Abilities
,
Helps
,
and
Means
of
bringing
People
to
God
,
and
the
Knowledge
,
and
Enjoyment
of
all
the
Good
Things
of
his
Kingdom
,
are
meerly
,
solely
,
and
wholly
from
God
and
his
Blessed
Spirit
's
free
Gift
in
Christ
,
and
not
from
Man
at
all
:
And
therefore
,
when
the
Corinthians
began
to
look
at
Man
,
whether
Paul
,
or
Apollo
,
or
Cephas
,
he
calls
it
Carnal
,
and
said
,
Christ
was
not
divided
,
signifying
plainly
it
was
Christ
,
and
the
Spirit
of
his
Power
,
that
alone
did
all
in
all
;
as
Christ
said
.
Joh.
15.
Without
me
you
can
do
nothing
;
for
in
the
True
Church
Christ
ever
was
,
and
ever
will
be
all
in
all
,
and
and
Man
nothing
;
as
Paul
said
of
himself
,
Paul
is
nothing
:
But
in
the
False
Church
where
R.
B.
is
pleading
for
Man
;
yea
,
Graceless
Ministers
,
Man
is
all
,
and
Christ
suffered
to
have
no
Rule
:
But
those
mine
Enemies
,
saith
Christ
,
that
would
not
that
I
should
Rule
,
bring
them
and
slay
them
before
my
Face
.
But
what
sottishness
is
this
in
R.
B.
to
ask
such
a
Question
as
this
,
when
himself
confessed
in
the
very
last
words
before
it
,
That
none
are
so
forward
to
Preach
as
these
same
Men
that
cry
down
Mens
Teaching
?
Whereby
it
plainly
appears
,
that
we
do
not
deny
God's
Teachings
,
and
the
Spirit
's
Good
and
Gracious
Gifts
,
freely
given
for
the
edifying
and
building
up
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
till
we
all
come
to
a
perfect
Man
,
to
the
measure
and
statutre
of
the
fulness
of
Christ
,
no
more
than
the
Apostle
did
,
Ephes.
4.11
,
&c.
but
that
which
we
cry
down
,
is
that
Antichristian
Spirit
in
R.
B.
and
all
such
Men
as
by
setting
up
Self
;
and
Flesh
would
draw
from
Christ
and
his
Teachings
in
Spirit
to
look
at
them
,
and
their
Painted
Words
,
and
Love-killing
Doctrines
,
who
are
this
Day
Goliah-like
come
forth
to
defie
the
Armies
of
the
Living
God
;
but
the
Stone
cut
out
of
the
Mountain
,
without
Hands
,
shall
dash
them
and
their
Images
all
to
pieces
;
Glory
to
the
Lord
for
Ever
.
And
though
they
with
their
Humane
or
Earthly
Spirit
and
Sorceries
,
withstand
the
Truth
and
Spirit
thereof
,
as
Jannes
and
Jambres
withstood
Moses
,
when
he
was
about
to
call
Israel
out
of
Egypt
;
yet
as
their
Folly
was
soon
seen
,
so
are
these
,
and
they
shall
not
proceed
far
;
but
Israel
out
of
Egypt
shall
go
,
and
those
Faithful
Ones
that
are
escaped
,
shall
they
not
with
all
their
Inchantments
bring
back
again
into
Egypt
;
Glory
to
the
Lord
for
Ever
,
Amen
.
But
wouldst
thou
indeed
know
,
O
vain
Man
,
R.
B.
for
what
the
Apostles
,
who
had
Ability
to
Preach
(
without
Man's
help
)
were
sent
forth
?
Then
thou
may'st
know
,
it
was
to
reprove
such
as
th●e
that
would
limit
God
to
vain
Man's
Help
,
and
to
call
his
People
from
amongst
you
,
who
lay
heavy
Burdens
on
Mens
Shoulders
,
but
will
not
touch
them
with
one
of
your
Fingers
;
it
is
even
so
.
But
whereas
thou

,
Those
are
taught
of
God
,
who
are
taught
by
those
who
are
sent
of
God
to
be
their
Teachers
;
it
plainly
shews
the
numerous
Company
thou
boasts
of
,
who
believe
thee
,
are
not
taught
of
God
;
for
thy
Doctrine
already
mentioned

shews
most
plainly
that
thou
wast
never

never

any

themselves
against
the

Spirit

Advise
with
the
Experience
of
all
the
World

who
was
the
Man
that
ever
you
knew
,
able
to
Expound
one
Chapter
in
the
Bible
by
the
inward
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
alone
,
without
any
Labour
of
his
own
,
or
Help
from
others
by
Voice
or
Writing

Where
dwelleth
the
Man
,
who
by
meer
Inspiration
can
turn
one
Chapter
out
of
the
Hebrew
or
Greek
into
the
Vulgar
Tongue
?
And
where
is
the
Man
that
can
solidly
unfold
any
Doctrine
of
Divinity
,
which
he
never
read
or
heard
of
,
or
can
Teach
that
Truth
,
and
deny
that
Religion
which
he
was
never
taught
by
Man
?

having
led
his
wretched
Disciples
into
a
Labyrinth
or
Mist
of
words
,
about
their
Uncertainties
in
their
Matters
of
Knowledge
;
and
having
advised
them
to
Humility
,
as
he
calls
it
,
or
not
to
think
too
highly
of
their
own
Knowledge
;
he
there
adds

says
in
that

especially
,
If
you
know
your
Advantages
for
Knowledge
have
been
less
than
other
Mens
,
that
you
are
young
;
or
that
it
is
but
a
few
Years
since
you
entred
upon
the
Study
of
the
Scriptures
;
or
that
you
have
not
any
stronger
Natural
Parts
than
other
Men
;
that
you
have
not
had
that
Measure
of
Learning
which
might
further
your
Knowledge
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
;
but
that
others
that
differ
from
you
have
had
much
more
of
all
these
Helps
and

than
you
,
and
have
Prayed
more

in
his
Answer
to
an
Objection
;
which
is
,
That
the
Learnedst
Men
are
not
always
the
Wisest
in
the
Matters
of
Religion
;
he
saith
,
many
Men
are
learned
in
the
Languages
and
Sciences
,
who
are
not
learned
in
the
Scripture
;
because
they
applied
not
their
Studies
that
way
;
and
many
Men
are
learned
in
the
Scriptures
and
Sacred
Languages
,
who
yet
live
in
Sin
,
though
they
are
able
to
Teach
the
Truth
,
for
others
:
Here
(
by
the
way
)
all
may
take
notice
what
a
False
Teacher
this
R.
B.
is
,
who
is
not
ashamed
to
say
,
That
Man
that
lives
in
Sin
,
may
Teach
the
Truth
for
others
;
for
such
as
live
in
Sin
,
neither
know
the
Truth
(
which
is
Christ
)
nor
have
seen
him
,
(
as
John's
first
Epist.
Chap
3.
expresly
saith
)
but
this
R.
B.
goeth
on
,
and
saith
,
But
those
that
well
understand
the
Scriptures
without
learning
the
Languages
which
they
are
written
in
,
and
the
Customs
of
those
Times
and
Countries
,
or
without
much
reading
,
and
long
Study
of
the
Scriptures
themselves
,
and
the
Writings
of
them
that
better
understand
them
,
are
so
few
,
if
any
at
all
;
that
if
you
will
pretend
to
be
one
of
them
,
you
had
need
of
some
Miracle
,
or
something
like
a
Miracle
,
to
make
your selves
or
others
believe
that
you
are
not
deceived
.
I
might
here
add
his
other
false
Doctrines
immediately
following
these
in
that
his
Book
,
as
his
Answer
to
an
Objection
there
set
down
against
Singularity
,
or
so
;
the
Objection
is
this
,
The
greater
Number
are
not
always
in
the
Right
;
therefore
why
should
my
Singularity
discourage
me
.
But
because
his
Answer
hath
a
pretty
many
words
in
it
,
I
refer
it
to
another
place
,
and
to
what
he
hath
already
said
,
do
Answer
,
and
say
in
breif
thus
.
First
,
That
as
by
his
other
words
,
so
also
by
these
,
it
is
most
manifest
from
what
Fountain
this
R.
B's
knowledge
hath
proceeded
,
to
wit
,
not
from
the
Inspiration
of
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
which
gave
forth
Scripture
;
but
from
his
own
Earthly
or
Natural
Spirit
and
Humane
Industry
and
Studies
,
and
Trading
in
Books
and
Letters
without
him
,
from
which
earthly
or
humane
Spirit
and
Wisdom
hath
not
come
(
nor
possible
ever
can
come
to
any
)
the
right
Meaning
and
Understanding
of
Holy
Scripture
(
as
such
as
he
would
have
it
)
For
the
natural
Man
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
perceiveth
not
the
things
that
be
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
1
Cor.
2.14
.
But
all
false
Visions
,
and
lying
Divinations
have
ever
come
from
that
earthly
Spirit
,
and
all
the
cruel
Wrestings
of
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
from
the
beginning
to
this
Day
,
have
proceeded
from
it
,
to
the
miserable
and
woful
Undoing
of
the
Generality
of
that
People
,
called
Christendom
;
as
also
the
Blood-sheds
,
and
all
the
cruel
Usage
of
Spiritual-minded
Men
,
for
their
pure
Conscience
Sake
,
have
issued
from
that
Fountain
of
the
Earthly
Spirits
,
and
the
false
Births
thereof
,
from
the
beginning
,
and
that
great
Whore
found
Guilty
of
all
;
for
in
her
was
found
the
Blood
of
Prophets
and
of
Saints
,
and
of
all
that
were
Slain
upon
the
Earth
,
Rev.
18.24
.
For
what
Spiritual
Man
did
ever
ask
such
a
Question
,
or
rather
affirm
;
for
in
him
,
his
question
is
an
Affirmation
,
to
wit
,
That
no
man
is
able
,
by
the
inward
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
alone
,
to
Expound
one
Chapter
in
the
Bible
:
And
that
there
is
none
can
solidly
Vnfold
any
Doctrine
of
Divinity
,
which
he
never
Read
or
Heard
of
,
or
can
teach
the
Truth
,
or
defend
that
Religion
,
which
he
was
never
taught
by
Man
.
Oh
happy
therefore
are
they
who
are
come
to
the
Everlasting
Covenant
of
God
,
and
to
know
the
inward
Teachings
and
Leadings
of
his
Holy
Spirit
in
their
Heart
,
to
lead
them
into
all
Truth
,
according
to
Promise
,
John
16.
without
being
beholding
to
vain
Man's
Help
;
for
whereof
is
he
to
be
accounted
,
as
is
manifest
,
even
as
a
thing
of
naught
,
is
the
best
of
them
,
out
of
the
Truth
:
For
O!
How
Ignorant
of
the
Ministry
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
the
Holy
Spirit
's
Inspiration
,
sufficient
Teaching
,
is
this
R.
B.
who
is
not
content
to
fit
among
the
Parish-Teachers
,
as
a
Fellow
;
but
even
takes
upon
him
to
be
a
Teacher
of
the
Teachers
?
Yea
,
so
Ignorant
and
Unbelieving
is
he
,
concerning
the
Spirit
's
Power
and
Sufficiency
in
these
Days
,
that
without
an
outward
Miracle
,
he
will
not
believe
any
such
thing
:
Nay
,
he
would
not
have
People
believe
for
themselves
,
that
God
teacheth
their
own
Hearts
,
unless
it
comes
in
Man's
Way
,
and
by
humane
Study
,
Labour
,
and
natural
Means
:
Therefore
the
Lord
saw
good
for
his
own
Glory
,
and
for
the
Vindication
of
his
own
Honourable
and
Everlasting
Truth
,
which
the
Hirelings
had
made
void
by
their
Traditions
;
and
for
the
absolute
necessity
of
his
own
beloved
Seed
,
to
restore
unto
us
the
Ancient
Doctrine
of
the
Holy
Spirit
's
Sufficiency
,
in
all
the
Work
of
bringing
Man
out
of
the
Fall
to
God
,
that
the
Lord
,
the
Spirit
,
might
be
the
first
and
the
last
;
yea
,
all
in
all
,
in
their
Salvation
,
without
Man's
help
;
for
he
is
worthy
,
who
,
as
he
Created
all
things
,
by
his
own
alone
Power
,
and
according
to
his
good
Will
;
so
he
Restores
all
things
,
according
to
the
Counsel
of
his
own
Will
,
and
not
of
Flesh
,
nor
of
Blood
,
nor
of
the
Will
of
Man
,
as
the
Apostle
also
Speaks
,
John
1.13
.
But
,
Oh!
How
unlike
is
this
Doctrine
of
the
Apostles
,
to
R.
B's
;
for
when
the
Apostle
had
said
,
To
them
that
received
Christ
,
to
them
he
gave
Power
to
become
the
Sons
of
God
;
lest
any
should
think
,
as
this
R.
B.
doth
,
that
it
was
either
by
Man's
Labour
or
Study
,
or
humane
Endeavour
,
or
Art
,
or
Parts
,
or
any
Natural
Abilities
or
Helps
whatsoever
;
he
saith
,
It
was
not
of
Flesh
,
nor
of
Blood
,
nor
of
the
Will
of
Man
,
but
of
God
.
And
of
his
own
Will
begat
he
us
,
by
the
Word
of
Truth
,
saith
that
other
Apostle
,
Jam.
1.17
,
18.
And
he
bids
not
Err
,
as
this
R.
B.
doth
,
to
set
up
another
Fountain
or
Root
;
and
that
this
Word
of
Truth
is
not
any
outward
Writing
,
Voice
,
or
any
Creature
:
John
in
his
first
Chapter
tells
us
,
That
in
the
beginning
was
this
Word
,
and
the
Word
was
with
God
,
and
is
God
:
And
his
Name
is
called
,
the
Word
of
God
,
Rev.
19.13
.
So
this
Word
,
though
it
works
according
to
the
Witness
of
the
Scripture
,
which
it
gave
forth
freely
,
and
as
it self
pleaseth
,
in
the
Children
of
Men
;
yet
it
is
not
the
Scripture
;
For
search
the
Scriptures
,
or
ye
do
search
the
Scriptures
,
saith
Christ
,
that
witness
of
me
,
but
you
will
not
come
to
me
that
you
may
have
Life
;
and
these
were
they
that
Paul
said
,
He
bore
them
Record
that
they
had
a
Zeal
for
God
(
and
Scripture
)
but
not
according
to
Knowledge
;
for
they
being
Ignorant
of
God's
Righteousness
,
went
about
to
Establish
their
own
Righteousness
,
and
submitted
not
to
God's
:
And
so
,
even
so
this
R.
B.
and
many
such
like
,
have
a
blind
Zeal
,
and
a
great
Talk
of
the
Scriptures
without
,
and
of
the
Spirits
Teaching
by
the
Letter
,
and
humane
Helps
,
and
the
like
;
but
will
not
come
to
Christ
,
to
know
him
in
them
,
that
they
may
have
Life
,
and
Wisdom
,
and
Righteousness
:
But
would
Establish
their
own
,
which
is
meer
Emptiness
and
Vanity
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
all
truly
Spiritual
Men
,
1
Cor.
13.5
.
Rom.
10.3
.
And
how
far
this
R.
B's
Language
in
those
other
words
,
where
he
saith
,
That
if
any
will
pretend
to
a
good
Vnderstanding
of
the
Scriptures
,
without
learning
the
Languages
which
they
are
written
in
,
and
the
Customs
of
those
Times
,
Countries
,
or
without
much
Reading
,
and
long
Study
of
the
Scriptures
themselves
,
and
the
Writings
of
them
that
better
understand
them
,
had
need
of
some
Miracle
,
or
something
like
a
Miracle
,
to
perswade
themselves
,
or
others
,
that
they
are
not
deceived
.
How
far
,
I
say
,
is
this
Doctrine
and
Language
in
this
R.
B.
from
the
Language
of
the
Holy
Men
of
God
that
writ
the
Scripture
,
let
the
Spiritual
Man
,
who
best
understands
all
things
,
Judge
;
for
the
Holy
Apostles
Magnified
the
free
Grace
,
and
the
free
Teachings
of
the
Spirit
of
Grace
,
and
debased
Man
,
and
all
meer
humane
Helps
,
as
is
said
before
,
and
as
the
Scripture
Witnesseth
:
But
this
R.
B.
tyeth
the
weight
and
main
Stress
of
all
,
upon
humane
Learning
,
natural
Parts
,
knowledge
of
Custom
and
Countries
,
much
Reading
,
long
Study
,
and
the
like
;
insomuch
,
that
without
them
,
Man
must
not
look
that
any
should
believe
him
:
Nay
,
nor
he
must
not
own
God's
Teaching
in
his
own
Heart
without
these
;
unless
seconded
by
some
Miracle
,
or
the
like
.
But
,
Oh
the
Misery
thereof
of
such
poor
Souls
,
as
follow
such
wretched
Teachers
,
and
their
unsound
Doctrine
,
as
I
may
well
say
;
And
Oh!
for
ever
Blessed
are
they
who
are
brought
from
off
such
Barren
Mountains
into
the
good
Fold
,
where
all
the
Lambs
of
Christ
lye
down
in
the
good
Pasture
of
the
Spirit
's
Fulness
;
and
walk
up
and
down
in
the
Light
of
the
Lord
,
under
the
Hand
of
the
good
Shepherd
,
Christ
Jesus
,
where
none
can
come
to
make
afraid
,
nor
deceive
;
for
in
the
Light
of
our
God
,
we
see
all
these
false
Teachers
,
and
their
devouring
Doctrines
;
and
by
the
Holy
Power
of
God
are
delivered
from
them
,
and
made
able
in
the
overcoming
Spirit
of
Truth
,
to
declare
against
them
:
Glory
to
God
for
ever
,
Amen
.
Again
let
us
review
,
and
consider
in
particular
a
little
of
those
words
of
his
,
before
set
down
;
where
he
saith
,
as
an
Argument
to
perswade
his
young
Ones
,
and
Dissenters
,
to
his
falsly
called
Humility
.
Especially
,
saith
he
,
If
you
know
your
Advantages
for
Knowledge
,
have
been
less
than
other
Men's
;
that
you
are
younger
,
or
that
it
is
but
a
few
Years
since
you
entered
upon
the
Study
of
the
Scripture
;
or
that
you
have
not
any
stronger
Natural
Parts
than
other
Men
;
or
that
you
have
not
had
that
Measure
of
Learning
,
which
might
further
your
Knowledge
of
the
Holy
Scripture
:
But
that
others
,
that
differ
from
you
,
have
had
much
more
of
all
these
Helps
and
Means
than
you
;
and
have
Prayed
more
,
and
Meditated
more
,
&c.
To
which
I
Answer
,
That
by
these
words
it
is
easily
seen
,
what
manner
of
Knowledge
it
is
that
this
R.
B.
trades
in
,
and
would
have
all
Slaves
unto
;
and
what
are
his
Means
for
obtaining
it
;
to
wit
,
a
meer
natural
Knowledge
;
which
,
by
meer
worldly
Helps
and
Advantages
,
may
be
attained
:
For
a
meer
Heathen
accompanied
with
many
Years
,
and
much
humane
Learning
,
and
strong
Natural
Parts
,
that
can
but
talk
much
of
the
Scripture
;
especially
having
on
him
a
Form
of
Prayer
,
and
the
like
,
must
needs
go
for
a
better
knowing
Christian
with
him
,
than
the
dearest
Child
of
God
;
especially
if
he
be
young
in
Years
,
and
want
those
natural
Helps
,
and
outward
Appearances
.
Oh
what
havock
hath
such
Doctrine
,
as
this
of
R.
B's
made
amongst
his
deluded
Hearers
and
Admirers
in
this
Nation
;
so
that
now
,
let
the
Man
God
come
to
one
of
them
in
the
purest
Evidence
,
and
most
powerful
Demonstration
of
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
if
he
appear
not
to
them
Cloathed
and
Accompanied
with
these
Natural
and
Worldly
Abilities
and
Indowments
;
they
are
fenced
against
the
Lord's
Messenger
with
such
Arguments
as
these
,
You
are
but
young
;
you
have
but
Studied
a
while
;
you
are
of
slender
and
mean
Natural
Parts
;
and
little
or
no
Schollar-ship
,
and
have
Prayed
but
little
,
&c.
in
comparison
of
our
Grave
and
Learned
Divines
,
and
the
like
:
So
that
as
Christ
said
,
so
we
find
now
true
:
That
Publicans
and
Harlots
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
before
such
;
and
now
what
a
Curer
of
Church-divisions
this
R.
B.
is
like
to
prove
is
easily
seen
;
and
therefore
that
Charge
,
which
his
Self-condemned
Heart
fear'd
would
come
upon
him
,
may
justly
be
brought
upon
him
here
;
which
,
in
his
Preface
to
his
Book
,
he
sets
down
thus
.
They
will
affirm
,
saith
he
,
that
I
have
clawed
with
one
Party
,
and
have
girded
at
the
other
,
and
have
sought
to
make
them
Odious
,
by
bringing
them
under
the
Reproach
of
Separation
,
of
censuring
and
avoiding
the
Vngodly
;
and
that
,
being
Luke-warm
my self
,
and
a
Complier
with
Sin
,
I
would
have
others
to
do
so
too
:
And
that
these
Reconcilers
are
neither
Flesh
nor
Fish
;
and
attempt
Impossibilities
,
even
to
Reconcile
Light
and
Darkness
,
Christ
and
Belial
,
and
that
for
the
sake
of
Peace
,
we
would
sell
the
Truth
,
and
would
let
in
Church-Corruptions
,
out
of
an
over-eager
desire
of
Agreement
;
and
when
they
have
all
done
,
neither
Parties
will
regard
them
.
These
are
this
R.
B's
words
,
in
that
Preface
of
his
to
that
Book
;
which
is
justly
come
upon
him
.
And
indeed
,
he
may
as
well
go
about
to
reconcile
Light
and
Darkness
,
as
bring
the
Children
of
Light
,
whom
God
hath
delivered
out
of
the
Darkness
and
Filthiness
of
Egypt
and
Sodom
Spiritual
,
into
Unity
with
them
again
;
for
there
is
Enmity
put
between
the
two
Seeds
,
and
those
words
of
Christ
,
in
John
17.21
,
22
,
&c.
which
he
deceitfully
puts
in
the
Title
Page
of
his
Book
,
are
only
proper
to
the
Living
Members
of
the
Spiritual
Body
of
Christ
,
(
which
he
calls
Mystical
)
and
not
to
any
of
the
World's
Churches
,
or
visible
mixt
Congregations
of
People
whatsoever
;
the
Words
of
the
Apostle
in
John
17.21
,
&c.
are
weightier
than
any
Hypocrite
can
bear
,
and
they
are
these
,
That
they
all
may
be
one
,
as
thou
Father
art
in
me
,
and
I
in
thee
,
that
thou
also
may
be
one
in
us
;
that
the
World
may
believe
that
thou
hast
sent
me
;
and
the
Glory
which
thou
hast
given
me
,
I
have
given
them
;
that
they
may
be
one
,
even
as
we
are
one
:
I
in
them
,
and
thou
in
me
,
that
they
may
be
made
Perfect
in
one
;
and
that
the
World
may
know
that
thou
hast
sent
me
,
and
hast
loved
them
,
as
thou
hast
loved
me
.
God
is
arisen
to
drive
Hypocrites
from
under
all
such
shelter
of
words
,
as
they
would
hide
themselves
under
;
for
now
is
the
City
and
Kingdom
truly
Manifested
and
Witnessed
,
into
which
no
Uncircumcised
or
Unclean
shall
enter
;
but
only
the
Redeemed
Born
babes
,
and
Living
Members
of
Christ
.
And
now
to
the
Knowledge
and
Experience
,
not
of
the
Evil
World
,
but
of
all
that
know
God
,
do
I
appeal
to
Judge
,
whether
this
R.
B.
or
any
of
like
Spirit
with
him
,
can
be
said
to
know
any
thing
of
the
Oneness
betwixt
the
Father
and
Son
,
the
Members
of
the
Holy
Heavenly
Body
,
much
less
can
be
any
of
them
,
who
are
not
afraid
to
affirm
,
That
such
are
not
to
be
disallowed
from
being
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
;
though
they
want
Grace
totally
:
And
that
Gifts
are
more
necessary
to
the
validity
of
Ministration
,
than
Grace
is
;
and
that
he
may
perform
the
Office
of
a
Minister
,
to
the
Benefit
of
the
Church
,
that
hath
no
saving
Grace
at
all
,
(
as
Page
114.
of
his
Book
aforementioned
)
and
that
there
is
no
Man
alive
that
Worshippeth
God
,
without
some
Sin
:
And
adds
,
Do
you
ever
Pray
your selves
in
Secret
,
or
in
your
Families
without
Sin
;
as
in
Page
19.5
.
And
in
Page
30.
of
his
Preface
to
that
Book
,
That
there
is
no
Person
,
Church
or
Worship
on
Earth
faultless
,
and
without
Corruption
;
(
and
saith
there
further
)
I
Justifie
not
the
Faults
of
my
own
daily
Prayers
,
and
yet
I
never
Pray
without
them
.
And
in
Page
34.
&c.
That
Cain
was
the
First-born
Member
in
the
Church
of
Adam
's
Family
:
And
Cursed
Cham
was
of
the
Church
of
Noah
:
And
reckons
Lot
's
two
Sons-in-law
,
and
Esau
;
yea
,
and
the
Ten
Tribes
in
their
Apostacy
,
to
be
of
the
Church
.
And
so
having
reckoned
up
,
and
raked
together
the
Faults
of
the
Race
of
Abraham
,
before
Christ's
coming
in
the
Flesh
,
and
of
those
called
Christians
after
that
mentioned
in
Scripture
;
he
wickedly
and
imprudently
says
,
Page
44.
That
no
one
Member
is
in
all
these
Scriptures
,
or
any
other
,
commanded
to
come
out
,
and
separate
from
any
one
of
all
these
Churches
;
as
if
their
Communion
in
Worship
were
Vnlawful
;
Directly
contrary
to
1
Cor.
5.11
.
2
Cor.
6.17
.
Rev.
18.4
,

,

,
&c.
Come
out
of
Mystery
Babylon
(
the
false
Church
)
saith
God
to
his
People
.
Oh
the
Blasphemy
of
such
Men's
Hearts
,
that
dare
Intitle
wicked
Men
(
for
a
bare
Profession-sake
of
Religion
)
to
the
Glory
of
the
benefit
of
this
Prayer
of
Christ's
,
who
Prays
(
and
his
Prayers
were
always
heard
)
That
his
might
be
one
,
as
He
and
the
Father
were
,
and
are
one
;
the
Father
in
Christ
,
and
Christ
in
them
;
and
so
made
Fellow-heirs
and
Partakers
of
the
Glory
of
Christ
by
free
Gift
:
But
neither
R.
B.
nor
any
graceless
Minister
,
nor
sinful
Praying
People
,
whom
he
pleads
for
,
while
such
,
can
ever
be
one
,
as
the
Father
and
Son
are
one
:
Therefore
I
may
safely
say
to
you
all
,
who
desire
the
good
of
your
Souls
,
and
the
Glory
of
God
,
Come
out
from
amongst
them
,
and
joyn
not
with
them
,
No
,
not
in
their
Worship
Actions
(
as
he
calls
them
)
nor
be
ye
Partakers
in
any
of
their
Sins
,
or
Sinful
Worship
,
lest
ye
partake
of
their
Plagues
;
for
the
Temple
of
God
is
Holy
,
and
the
Worship
of
God
is
Holy
:
And
so
R.
B.
with
all
his
own
Corruptions
,
and
all
his
heaps
of
Lyes
,
and
false
Accusations
of
the
Brethren
of
Christ
are
for
the
Lake
;
It
is
so
.
And
so
I
return
to
set
down
R.
B's
Unchristian
Answer
to
that
former
Objection
against
the
Singularity
of
Separation
;
the
Objection
is
as
before
;
The
greater
Number
are
not
always
in
the
right
;
therefore
,
why
should
my
Singularity
discourage
me
?
Now
to
this
R.
B.
answers
,
Page
17
,
18.
The
greater
Number
(
saith
he
)
through
the
World
,
are
not
in
the
right
about
Christianity
;
for
they
are
not
Christians
,
and
the
greater
number
of
vulgar
Christians
be
not
in
the
right
perhaps
,
in
many
Points
of
Learning
,
and
Sch●lastick
Controversies
;
because
they
are
not
Learned
in
such
Controversies
;
but
all
Godly
Men
,
and
Christians
,
are
in
the
right
in
all
Points
Essential
to
Godliness
and
Christianity
:
And
therefore
they
are
in
the
certain
way
of
Life
.
And
if
in
any
Integral
or
Accidental
Point
,
you
think
you
are
wiser
than
the
greater
part
of
Men
,
as
Learned
and
as
Godly
as
your selves
,
you
must
give
very
good
Proofs
of
it
,
to
your selves
and
others
,
before
it
is
to
be
believed
:
I
know
that
in
all
Ages
God
giveth
some
few
Men
more
excellent
Natural
Parts
than
others
;
and
he
engageth
some
in
deeper
and
more
laborious
Studies
than
others
;
and
he
Blesseth
some
Men's
Studies
more
than
others
;
and
therefore
there
are
still
some
few
who
know
more
than
the
rest
of
the
Country
,
or
Mankind
;
and
it
were
well
for
the
rest
if
they
knew
these
,
and
would
learn
of
them
:
But
these
are
such
as
come
to
their
Knowledge
by
hard
and
laborious
Studies
,
and
Meditation
;
though
also
by
the
Spirits
Blessing
their
Endeavours
:
and
they
are
such
as
give
Proof
of
the
Knowledge
they
pretend
to
;
and
they
are
such
as
imploy
their
Knowledge
to
preserve
the
Peace
and
Concord
of
Believers
,
and
do
not
proudly
make
a
stir
with
it
,
to
set
up
their
own
Names
,
though
hereby
they
set
the
World
on
fire
.
To
which
,
by
way
of
reply
,
I
answer
and
say
,
That
there
is
not
the
least
Child
of
Light
,
but
doth
truly
and
easily
see
the
nature
of
the
Spirit
,
by
which
this
R.
B.
is
still
acted
,
and
the
end
he
drives
at
;
for
as
for
the
Spirit
by
which
he
is
acted
,
it
still
appears
plainly
to
be
the
Spirit
of
this
World
that
never
knew
God
,
nor
the
Mysteries
of
his
Holy
and
Heavenly
Kingdom
,
by
which
Earthly
Spirit
(
by
much
poring
on
Books
without
him
)
he
hath
attained
to
a
deal
of
Unsanctified
Graceless
Knowledge
,
(
as
himself
speaks
Page
114.
)
to
deceive
the
simple
People
by
,
who
are
Ignorant
of
Satan's
Devices
;
and
as
for
his
end
,
it
is
also
as
manifest
to
be
this
,
to
wit
,
to
bring
People
(
who
were
in
some
measure
pressing
out
of
Babylon
)
back
into
Egypt
and
Babylon
again
;
and
yet
to
cover
his
Deceit
,
lest
the
Simple
should
see
him
without
an
Interpreter
,
he
brings
in
the
Spirit
,
as
to
help
his
Humane
Labour
and
Carnal
Endeavours
:
But
the
Spirit
of
God
,
which
he
strikes
at
in
all
his
Writing
,
will
be
no
Drudge
or
Slave
to
any
such
Vain
Self-ended
Proud
Mind
in
any
.
But
of
these
words
,
where
he
saith
,
That
all
Godly
Men
and
Christians
are
in
the
right
,
in
all
Points
Essential
to
Godliness
and
Christianity
;
and
therefore
in
the
certain
Way
of
Life
,
as
he
saith
.
Let
us
consider
;
As
for
Godly
Men
,
who
ever
imagined
otherwise
?
much
less
denied
it
in
words
that
they
were
in
the
right
way
;
but
as
for
that
he
saith
,
That
all
Christians
,
if
he
means
all
that
were
sprinkled
when
they
were
Children
,
and
that
so
being
grown
up
,
make
an
outward
Profession
of
Christ
(
for
such
in
Spiritual
manner
he
seems
to
mean
by
Christians
)
are
in
the
right
,
in
all
Points
essential
to
Christianity
,
and
so
in
the
certain
Way
of
Life
.
It
is
such
a
notorous
Expression
,
and
so
bold
an
Assertion
,
that
no
one
Saying
can
more
gratifie
the
Devil
,
and
so
help
to
build
up
his
Kingdom
,
than
it
doth
:
Nay
,
it
certainly
gives
the
Lye
to
the
certain
Experience
and
Testimony
of
all
the
Holy
Men
of
God
,
both
formerly
and
now
;
for
Paul
said
in
his
day
,
That
many
professed
,
and
nominal
Christians
do
so
walk
,
as
that
they
were
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
whose
God
was
their
Belly
,
and
who
gloried
in
their
Shame
,
and
whose
end
was
Destruction
,
Phil.
3.
and
were
these
in
the
right
Points
Essential
to
Christianity
,
and
in
the
certain
way
of
Life
?
What
Contradiction
and
Blasphemy
is
this
?
And
the
same
Apostle
tells
some
among
the
Corinthians
,
That
they
had
not
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
Cor.
15.
and
what
,
Were
these
right
also
in
all
Essentials
?
What
is
not
the
Knowledge
of
God
an
Essential
Point
of
Christianity
?
Nay
,
without
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
no
Eternal
Life
;
and
yet
this
R.
B.
is
not
ashamed
to
affirm
,
That
such
as
know
not
God
,
are
in
the
certain
Way
of
Life
.
And
further
,
To
the
Experience
of
all
that
know
God
do
I
appeal
,
whether
this
R.
B.
doth
not
here
in
his
blindness
,
justifie
the
very
Papist
;
Yea
,
and
all
other
sorts
of
People
,
who
any
way
in
the
outward
profess
Christ
;
especially
if
they
be
outwardly
sprinkled
with
Water
,
young
or
old
:
For
,
saith
he
,
in
his
Preface
,
Page
33.
Christ
hath
solemnly
and
purposely
made
the
Baptismal
Covenanting
with
him
(
to
wit
,
by
outward
Washing
)
to
be
the
Term
and
Title
to
Church-Membership
and
Communion
,
and
the
owning
of
this
same
Covenant
,
is
the
sufficient
Title
of
the
Adult
(
or
those
of
ripe
Years
)
and
the
Imposers
that
come
after
,
and
require
another
kind
of
Evidence
of
Conversion
or
Sanctification
than
this
,
do
confound
the
Church
,
and
enslave
the
People
,
and
leave
no
certain
way
of
Tryal
.
Thus
far
R.
B.
by
which
it
appears
whither
he
,
by
endeavouring
to
keep
his
Credit
with
the
World
,
is
wandred
beyond
the
Bounds
of
Reason
.
Nay
,
Mystery
Babylon
her self
(
though
she
be
become
a
Cage
of
every
unclean
and
hateful
Bird
,
and
a
very
Habitation
of
Devils
,
)
seems
justified
by
his
Position
,
and
reckoned
to
be
right
in
the
Essentials
of
Christianity
,
and
in
the
certain
Way
of
Life
:
For
without
all
Controversie
,
this
Mystery
Babylon
is
of
that
Number
who
in
words
profess
God
and
Christ
,
and
have
a
Name
to
live
,
though
they
be
dead
,
or
it
were
not
a
Mystery
,
if
it
were
not
covered
from
the
World's
Eye
,
with
a
shew
of
what
it
is
not
,
Rev.

Chapters

Yet
so
far
is
this
R.
B.
in
the
Dark
,
that
he
accounts
it
an
Abuse
,
and
false
Interpreting
of
Scripture
,
to
perswade
any
by
that
Command
[
Come
out
of
Babylon
]
to
separate
from
professed
or
nominal
Christians
,
though
full
of
Iniquity
,

than
which
,
nothing
more
can
gratifie
the
Wicked
One
,
and
that
Adulterous
Church
of
Rome
;
for
though
he
would
seem
in
some
words
,
here
and
there
,
in
his
Book
,
to
be
no
Papist
;
yet
there
is
never
an
Argument
he
brings
,
for
the
Fellowship
with
Dead
and
Corrupted
Members
;
and
against
those
that
separate
from
such
;
but
they
will
fully
serve
to
prove
the
Pope
and
Papists
to
be
a
Church
,
and
all
them
to
blame
who
have
separated
from
him
in
outward
Church-Fellowship
upon
any
Pretence
whatsoever
.
So
foolish
is
the
World's
Wisdom
when
it
is
set
against
Truth
:
But
this
R.
B.
having
laid
his
wrong
Ground
;
That
all
that
are
called
Christians
are
in
the
right
,
in
all
Points
essential
to
Christianity
,
and
in
the
certain
Way
of
Life
;
he
may
easily
conclude
that
to
be
unwarrantable
Separation
which
goeth
from
such
.
But
then
I
say
,
How
will
the
Protestants
warrant
their
first
Separation
from
Popery
?
Or
how
did
this
R.
B.
with
his
Presbyterians
in
Oliver's
time
,
with
their
Directory
,
excuse
their
separating
from
the
Bishops
,
and
their
Common-prayer
?
And
how
will
he
salve
his
old
Non-conforming
Brethrens
Flight
into
New-England
(
where
since
they
have
shed
the
Blood
of
certain
Martyrs
of
Christ
)
from
the
former
Bishops
?
But
now
his
false
Ground
and
Foundation
being
overturned
,
it
is
most
manifest
that
that
Separation
is
most
lawful
,
which
is
from
such
,
who
call
Good
Evil
,
and
Evil
Good
,
put
Light
for
Darkness
,
and
Darkness
for
Light
,
as
the
Wicked
do
,
from
whom
the
People
of
God
in
these
days
separate
:
And
so
in
obeying
the
Voice
of
our
God
,
who
saith
,
Come
out
of
Mystery
Babylon
my
People
,
lest
ye
partake
of
her
Sins
,
and
so
of
her
Plagues
,
(
we
are
justified
)
for
the
Sins
of
the
Wicked
,
(
who
,
in
words
,
profess
God
and
Christ
,
but
in
Deeds
deny
all
)
is
reached
Heaven
at
this
day
:
And
doth
not
the
Apostle
say
,
If
any
Man
that
is
called
a
Brother
be
a
Fornicator
,
or
Covetous
,
or
an
Idolator
(
and
Covetousness
,
by
the
Apostle's
Doctrine
,
is
Idolatry
)
or
a
Railer
,
or
a
Drunkard
,
or
an
Extortioner
,
with
such
not
to
keep
company
,
no
not
as
to
eat
with
them
,
1
Cor.
5.11
.
And
doth
he
not
say
in
another
place
,
Have
no
Fellowship
with
the
unfruitful
Works
of
Darkness
(
nor
with
the
unfruitful
Workers
in
Darkness
,
as
before
)
but
rather
reprove
them
,
Eph.
5.14
.
must
we
not
yet
separate
from
them
,
yea
,
yea
,
in
their
very
Worship-Actions
as
well
as
others
;
and
when
even
the
greater
number
are
so
far
defiled
and
tainted
with
the
Leprosie
of
Unrighteousness
;
and
they
are
so
far
from
amending
,
that
they
persecute
all
that
will
not
be
as
bad
as
themselves
:
Surely
when
the
Lord
hath
spued
out
a
People
,
as
he
threatned
to
do
luke-warm
Laodicea
,
Rev.
3.16
.
yea
,
and
cast
them
off
,
for
their
resisting
of
his
good
Spirit
,
as
he
did
the
Jews
;
't
is
no
time
for
his
People
to
stay
amongst
them
then
,
and
to
continue
with
them
in
their
Worship-Actions
,
as
he
calls
them
;
but
every
one
to
deliver
his
own
Soul
,
by
coming
out
of
such
Babylonish
Worships
;
whose
Prayers
are
Abomination
to
God
,
as
all
sinful
Prayers
are
;
and
neither
this
R.
B.
nor
any
one
that
he
knoweth
upon
the
Earth
,
prayeth
without
Sin
,
as
himself
before
hath
confessed
;
and
so
all
of
them
together
do
daily
and
continually
that
which
they
should
not
do
,
and
leave
undone
what
the
Lord
commands
them
,
and
so
have
no
Health
in
them
:
And
so
now
that
the
True
Light
shines
so
clear
again
from
under
the
long
Cloud
of
Antichristian
Apostacy
,
it
is
the
Wisdom
of
all
that
love
God
and
their
own
Souls
,
to
joyn
to
the
Lord
in
the
Covenant
of
his
Light
and
Spirit
,
where
no
Committers
of
Sin
can
joyn
;
for
Darkness
,
and
the
Workers
thereof
,
can
never
joyn
with
the
Light
,
and
the
Workers
thereof
:
So
now
that
the
Trumpet
hath
founded
,
all
ought
to
come
to
the
Holy
Worship
of
God
,
amongst
the
Holy
Worshippers
,
that
Worship
in
the
Spirit
of
Holiness
and
Truth
;
(
where
no
Worker
of
Iniquity
,
nor
Hypocrite
can
come
)
out
of
all
the
Defiled
Worship
of
the
World
whatsoever
,
or
under
what
Name
soever
in
the
Fall
:
But
this
R.
B.
is
in
such
love
of
Hypocrisie
,
that
he
makes
a
Necessity
of
the
Hypocrites
being
amongst
the
true
Members
of
Christ
,
as
though
they
knew
not
how
to
do
without
them
;
as
if
the
good
Corn
could
not
grow
so
well
if
the
Weeds
were
wanting
;
saying
,
Page
56.
It
is
more
for
the
sake
of
the
truly
Faithful
,
than
for
themselves
,
that
the
Hypocrites
have
their
Station
,
and
Priviledges
in
the
Church
;
God
makes
use
of
their
Gifts
and
Profession
for
his
Elect
,
to
many
great
Services
of
the
Church
.
To
which
I
answer
,
That
this
Language
betrays
thee
further
to
be
of
Babylon
,
and
not
of
Zion
;
What
R.
B.
with
all
his
seeming
Zeal
for
Reformation
in
Oliver's
days
,
become
now
a
Pleader
for
Hypocrites
,
and
their
great
Service
in
the
Church
!
But
this
is
but
like
his
Doctrine
of
his
Graceless
Ministers
which
he
pleads
for
,
Page
114
of
his
Book
;
so
R.
B.
and
his
Hypocrites
,
and
Graceless
Brethren
,
with
their
Gifts
,
(
or
rather
Thefts
void
of
Grace
)
have
been
so
far
from
being
serviceable
to
the
Elect
True
Church
,
that
they
have
done
it
(
and
ever
did
)
all
the
Injury
that
ever
they
can
by
their
wicked
Doctrines
,
Ungodly
Lives
,
and
heaps
of
Lyes
and
false
Accusations
,
and
cruel
Persecutions
;
insomuch
that
the
Growth
of
the
Heavenly
Seed
,
the
Lillies
of
God
,
the
true
Heirs
of
the
Kingdom
,
hath
been
,
and
is
,
as
a
Lilly
among
Thorns
:
But
Christ
and
R.
B.
are
directly
contrary
in
their
Judgment
one
to
the
other
;
for
Christ
would
not
suffer
the
Devil
in
the
Man
to
preach
him
,
but
commanded
him
to
come
out
,
and
hold
his
peace
,
because
Christ
never
had
need
of
Devils
,
or
wicked
Men
,
or
Hypocrites
,
to
preach
him
;
but
saith
to
such
,
What
hast
thou
to
do
,
to
take
my
Laws
and
Covenant
in
thy
Mouth
,
and
hatest
to
be
reformed
,
Psal.
50.16
,
&c.
and
so
far
are
Graceless
Priests
and
Hypocrites
from
being
serviceable
in
this
matter
to
his
Church
,
that
he
saith
,
My
Sheep
hear
my
Voice
,
and
they
follow
me
;
but
the
Graceless
Minister
and
Hypocrite
,
who
is
a
Stranger
to
me
,
they
will
not
hear
,
for
such
come
but
to
rob
and
destroy
,
read
John
10.
and
see
if
ever
R.
B.
understood
Scripture
,
who
talks
so
contrary
to
it
:
As
did
those
Pharisees
of
old
,
whom
Christ
cried
out
so
many
times
Wo
against
,
Matt.
23.
Who
would
neither
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
themselves
,
nor
suffer
others
.
And
those
in
Ezekiel
,
who
sowed
Pillows
under
Mens
Elbows
,
making
glad
the
Hearts
of
the
wicked
Hirelings
,
by
perswading
People
that
they
must
not
disown
them
from
being
Ministers
,
though
they
be
totally
void
of
obeying
Saving
Grace
;
and
that
Hypocrites
have
a
Station
in
the
Church
,
for
great
Services
with
their
pretended
Gifts
to
the
Elect
;
and
by
pleading
for
Games
,
and
Fashions
of
Apparel
;
yea
,
and
the
Opinions
in
Religion
of
bad
People
,
yea
to
such
a
measure
,
that
he
is
not
ashamed
to
say
,
That
many
an
Error
is
taken
up
,
by
going
too
far
from
other
Mens
Faults
;
as
is
to
be
seen
in
Page
224
of
his
Book
,
with
many
such
like
Heathenish
Sayings
up
and
down
his
Book
;
a
few
whereof
I
only
touch
here
and
there
,
that
by
those
the
Reader
may
see
the
nature
of
that
wretched
Spirit
,
that
hath
long
lurked
in
him
,
under
a
Cloak
of
Zeal
for
Reformation
,
when
the
World
pretended
to
such
things
;
but
now
that
the
World
is
for
a
manifest
Establishing
of
their
old
dark
Stuff
,
he
turns
about
,
and
is
all
for
them
as
it
were
,
and
against
Zeal
,
against
Reformation
,
Separation
,
Immediate
Revelation
,
or
any
thing
that
may
manifest
People
to
have
a
care
of
their
Souls
:
But
Oh
the
Misery
,
the
Misery
,
the
unspeakable
Misery
of
such
as
are
not
yet
redeemed
from
under
the
Slavery
and
Egyptian
Bondage
of
such
Men
:
But
the
Lord
will
break
the
Rod
of
the
Oppressor
,
as
in
times
of
old
,
as
in
the
days
of
Midian
and
Egypt
,
where
both
Jannes
and
Jambres
,
who
withstood
the
Lord's
Servant
Moses
,
in
his
calling
Israel
out
of
Egypt
,
were
made
manifest
,
and
their
Folly
by
all
clearly
seen
,
as
this
R.
B's
is
by
every
open
Eye
:
Praised
be
the
Lord
for
his
Infinite
Love
in
all
things
.
But
the
Hearts
of
the
Righteous
,
whom
God
delights
to
comfort
,
he
doth
all
he
can
to
make
Sad
,
by
perswading
the
dark
cruel
World
,
that
the
cause
of
all
the
Miseries
of
the
late
years
,
yea
,
and
at
present
in
these
Islands
,
is
much
(
what
if
not
mostly
)
occasioned
by
those
,
who
in
tenderness
of
Conscience
to
God
,
could
not
,
nor
cannot
joyn
with
,
nor
uphold
the
Popish
Customs
,
and
Imposition
in
Matters
relating
to
Religion
,
and
the
Soul
,
which
is
more
pretious
to
them
that
know
it
,
than
all
the
World
:
And
in
the
Truth
we
may
say
,
that
if
we
should
come
amongst
the
Steeple-house
Worshippers
,
or
any
other
Company
,
who
are
only
separated
from
them
in
Form
,
and
not
in
Life
and
Power
,
and
their
exercise
,
not
in
the
Gift
,
and
Heavenly
Holy
Worship
and
Service
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
our
God
,
we
should
even
Sacrifice
the
Abomination
of
the
Egyptians
before
their
Eyes
;
and
now
would
you
not
Stone
us
,
or
Imprison
us
,
or
otherwise
evilly
i●treat
us
,
even
as
you
do
,
and
ever
have
done
?
Yea
,
yea
,
and
as
they
dealt
with
the
Prophet
Isaiah
for
saying
(
Chap.
66.3
.
)
He
that
killeth
an
Ox
,
is
as
if
he
slew
a
Man
;
he
that
sacrificeth
a
Lamb
,
as
if
he
cut
off
a
Dog's
Neck
,
&c.
and
Chap.
1.11
,
&c.
To
what
purpose
is
the
multitude
of
your
Sacrifices
unto
me
,
saith
the
Lord
,
I
am
full
of
them
;
and
who
hath
required
it
at
your
hands
,
to
tread
my
Courts
?
Bring
no
more
vain
Oblations
,
&c.
For
which
it
is
said
they
slew
him
;
so
they
would
deal
with
us
.
And
what
measure
have
the
dear
Servants
of
God
in
New-England
met
withal
,
not
long
since
,
for
the
like
witness
against
those
Hypocrites
,
but
Death
and
cruel
Whippings
,
and
Banishment
;
and
in
old
England
lately
,
but
most
Savage
and
Cruel
Usage
?
And
would
this
R.
B.
yet
have
us
,
yea
,
and
those
he
counts
his
Brethren
,
and
of
his
Flock
,
who
have
any
Tenderness
in
them
,
to
communicate
with
such
whose
Hands
are
full
of
Blood
?
If
he
were
as
the
Mouth
of
God
,
he
would
put
a
difference
between
the
Clean
and
Unclean
:
But
he
being
of
another
Spirit
,
is
for
leading
People
back
again
into
Egypt
,
not
for
bringing
them
out
of
Egypt
into
the
Promised
Land
;
which
Work
and
Endeavour
is
rejected
of
God
,
and
of
all
that
know
God
,
who
are
escaped
out
of
Sodom
and
Egypt
,
and
Babylon
Spiritual
,
where
our
Lord
was
Crucified
:
And
to
us
the
Lord
hath
said
,
Let
them
return
to
you
(
ye
Saved
People
)
but
return
not
you
to
them
;
For
their
Pastors
are
become
brutish
,
and
have
not
sought
the
Lord
;
therefore
they
shall
not
prosper
,
and
all
their
Flocks
shall
be
scattered
,
Jer.
10.21
.
He
that
hath
Ears
let
him
hear
,
and
he
that
readeth
let
him
understand
,
for
the
time
is
at
hand
,
for
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
plead
with
all
the
False
Worshippers
upon
Earth
,
and
with
him
is
no
respect
of
Persons
.
And
now
is
the
Lord
God
of
ever
blessed
Power
and
love
appeared
in
the
Earth
,
after
the
long
Night
of
Apostacy
,
to
restore
all
things
;
and
now
are
the
Virgins
called
upon
,
through
the
whole
World
,
to
trim
their
Lamps
;
for
behold
the
Bridegroom
is
come
and
coming
,
and
now
the
foolish
Virgins
,
who
have
been
long
sleeping
and
slumbering
,
in
a
dead
Profession
of
Christ
and
the
Scriptures
,
are
found
wanting
in
their
Faith
,
Holiness
,
Love
,
and
all
other
Christian
Virtues
,
and
so
in
their
Unholiness
shut
out
;
yea
,
and
though
they
run
to
the
Hirelings
,
that
set
all
things
to
Sale
,
to
Buy
,
yet
still
before
they
come
,
the
Door
is
shut
;
for
whilst
the
Lord
stood
waiting
upon
them
,
with
his
pure
free
and
full
Grace
and
Spirit
,
they
would
have
none
of
it
;
but
rather
chosed
to
go
their
own
ways
of
Carnal
Endeavours
,
and
Man-commanded
Religion
,
and
so
like
the
Jews
of
old
,
going
about
to
Establish
their
own
Righteousness
,
have
not
submitted
to
the
Righteousness
of
God
,
which
is
by
Faith
in
Christ
Jesus
:
But
the
wise
Virgns
,
who
are
of
an
honest
Heart
,
to
fear
God
,
and
wait
for
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
to
appear
in
their
Spirits
,
to
set
up
his
heavenly
and
everlasting
Kingdom
in
them
,
they
receive
daily
of
his
Fullness
,
which
filleth
all
in
all
,
where
the
true
Oyl
of
the
Kingdom
is
found
in
their
Holy
Lamps
,
to
the
Praise
of
the
Glory
of
the
unspeakable
Love
,
and
free
Grace
of
the
Almighty
Father
.
So
be
it
.
Again
,
to
that
part
of
this
R.
B's
former
Answer
,
where
he
saith
,
That
in
all
Ages
,
God
giveth
to
some
few
Men
more
excellent
Natural
Parts
than
others
,
and
he
engageth
some
in
deeper
and
more
laborious
Studies
,
and
he
blesseth
some
Mens
Studies
more
than
other
;
and
therefore
there
are
still
some
few
,
who
know
more
than
the
rest
of
the
Country
,
or
Mankind
;
and
it
were
well
for
the
rest
if
they
knew
these
,
and
would
learn
of
them
.
Query
.
But
how
may
one
know
these
hard
and
laborious
Studiers
,
as
he
calls
them
?
Oh
,
saith
this
R.
B.
They
are
such
as
give
proof
of
their
Knowledge
they
pretend
to
;
and
they
are
such
as
imploy
their
Knowledge
to
the
preserving
of
the
Peace
and
Concord
of
Believers
;
and
do
not
proudly
make
a
stir
with
it
,
to
set
up
their
own
Names
;
though
thereby
they
set
the
World
on
fire
.
To
which
I
answer
and
say
,
It
is
still
more
and
more
manifest
,
that
this
R.
B.
lays
the
weight
and
stress
upon
Natural
Parts
,
and
hard
Studies
;
as
though
the
Kingdom
of
God
were
not
at
all
come
,
nor
the
Promise
of
God
(
concerning
the
Free
Gifts
,
and
plentiful
pouring
forth
of
the
Spirit
)
yet
fulfilled
;
and
so
a
necessity
of
learning
at
the
feet
of
Gamaliel
,
and
earthly
Doctors
still
:
But
now
that
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
according
to
God's
blessed
Promise
,
is
come
,
and
witnessed
amongst
us
that
believe
,
praised
be
God
,
we
cannot
go
to
such
as
this
R.
B.
with
all
their
Natural
Parts
,
and
hard
Studies
;
for
the
Spirit
of
Truth
leads
us
,
and
all
that
obey
it
,
into
all
Truth
;
but
this
R.
B.
and
such
as
he
leads
,
are
in
an
Error
,
as
is
manifest
;
for
they
are
of
those
that
lead
about
a
Company
of
poor
Souls
,
silly
as
Women
laden
with
divers
Sins
and
Lusts
,
ever
learning
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
which
sets
free
from
Sin
;
for
that
(
and
nothing
else
)
is
the
Truth
,
which
sets
free
from
Sin
;
for
saith
Christ
,
If
ye
know
the
Truth
,
the
Truth
shall
set
you
free
indeed
.
But
this
R.
B.
and
all
such
,
teach
it
for
Doctrine
,
That
they
are
so
far
from
being
free
from
Sin
,
that
their
very
Prayers
,
and
best
Performances
,
are
not
free
from
Sin
,
but
Sin
is
in
them
all
.
Oh
Sad
,
that
ever
they
should
dare
to
pretend
to
the
Ministry
of
the
Gospel
,
who
preach
such
a
Doctrine
as
make
nothing
perfect
,
but
leaves
them
in
Sin
all
their
Lives
long
:
And
no
wonder
that
they
and
their
Doctrine
should
be
void
of
all
good
Fruit
;
for
saith
God
,
They
have
run
,
and
I
have
not
sent
them
;
therefore
they
shall
not
profit
the
People
at
all
.
And
yet
they
would
gladly
have
People
know
them
,
and
learn
of
them
,
though
they
can
do
them
no
good
at
all
;
and
this
is
that
sorry
and
bad
Proof
,
that
the
Hirelings
make
of
their
great
Knowledge
they
pretend
unto
,
which
they
have
gotten
with
their
Natural
Parts
,
and
hard
Studies
:
And
so
thy
own
words
shall
witness
against
thee
,
Oh
R.
B.
and
thy
Brethren
,
who
have
given
no
good
Proof
of
your
Knowledge
to
this
day
;
nor
have
thereby
preserved
Peace
and
Concord
amongst
Believers
,
but
done
what
you
can
to
break
it
;
for
that
Doctrine
that
makes
not
Men
free
from
Sin
,
leaves
all
the
Seeds
of
Discord
and
Dissention
still
in
Peoples
Minds
;
for
as
Sin
separated
Man
from
God
at
first
,
so
doth
it
to
this
day
keep
them
,
and
so
keeps
them
from
Love
,
for
God
is
Love
;
and
none
live
or
dwell
in
Love
,
but
such
as
live
and
dwell
in
God
:
But
such
as
live
in
Sin
,
and
never
Pray
without
it
,
are
out
of
God
,
as
the
Apostle
said
of
People
in
Unbelief
,
They
were
without
God
in
the
World
.
It
is
not
any
outward
Conformity
,
that
will
or
can
make
them
to
be
at
Peace
with
,
or
love
one
another
;
for
if
it
were
possible
to
bring
Papist
,
Atheist
,
and
Carnal
Protestants
and
Professors
of
all
sorts
,
into
one
Form
of
outward
Worship
,
as
for
Time
,
Place
,
Words
,
or
the
like
:
Yet
there
would
be
neither
Love
,
Peace
,
nor
Concord
amongst
them
,
for
want
of
Unity
with
God
and
his
good
Spirit
,
the
only
true
Ground
and
Foundation
of
all
true
Love
,
Peace
,
and
Concord
.
And
so
,
Oh
R.
B.
we
have
known
thee
this
many
Years
to
be
a
great
Enemy
,
and
therefore
we
may
not
learn
of
thee
,
nor
any
such
,
but
of
Christ
do
we
learn
,
ever
praised
be
his
Name
,
who
teaches
his
People
to
profit
;
and
so
it
's
only
the
poor
deluded
Multitude
that
knows
thee
not
,
who
learn
of
thee
,
and
suck
in
such
poysoned
Doctrine
,
as
makes
them
most
uncapable
of
the
pure
Word
of
Life
,
and
Doctrine
of
Salvation
;
so
that
Publicans
and
Harlots
,
who
make
little
or
no
Profession
,
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
before
you
.
And
as
for
making
a
stir
with
thy
Knowledge
,
and
striving
to
set
up
thy
own
Name
thereby
,
though
thou
set
the
whole
World
on
fire
by
it
;
Who
more
Notorious
than
thy self
in
this
R.
B
?
as
witness
all
thy
lying
frothy
Words
,
Books
,
and
Pamphlets
,
which
thou
hast
spoken
and
written
,
against
the
appearance
of
Christ
and
his
Truth
,
in
these
late
years
;
but
thy
Studies
and
such
Works
God
hath
cursed
;
for
no
Child
of
Light
will
ever
buy
any
of
thy
Merchandize
,
nor
the
deceitful
Wares
of
any
other
Merchants
of
Babylon
,
for
evermore
Blessed
be
God
for
his
unspeakable
Gift
,
Amen
.
But
the
end
of
these
words
,
of
setting
the
World
on
fire
,
set
down
here
by
this
R.
B.
is
easily
seen
to
be
this
,
to
wit
,
To
perswade
People
,
that
those
who
are
Zealous
for
God
in
these
days
,
in
publishing
his
everlasting
Gospel
upon
the
Earth
,
in
a
cross
to
the
World
,
are
such
as
set
up
themselves
,
and
would
set
the
World
on
fire
:
And
so
he
is
manifest
to
be
one
of
the
old
evil
Generation
of
Priests
,
who
accused
Christ
for
a
mover
of
Sedition
,
and
Paul
for
a
pestilent
Fellow
:
Oh
,
it
was
that
good
stirring
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
in
himself
,
and
his
Followers
,
which
did
so
trouble
the
World
,
the
combustible
World
in
all
Ages
,
that
made
,
and
doth
make
,
the
Hireling
Priests
,
and
their
deluded
Followers
,
so
rage
and
cry
out
;
but
as
for
setting
the
World
on
fire
,
in
a
good
sence
,
Christ
Jesus
saith
,
That
he
came
to
set
Fire
in
the
Earth
:
But
for
setting
the
World
on
fire
,
in
R.
B's
sence
,
that
is
sowing
Discord
and
Dissention
amongst
People
;
this
is
the
Work
,
and
ever
was
the
Work
of
the
Hireling
Priests
,
who
loved
to
be
called
of
Men
Masters
,
as
this
R.
B.
is
,
witness
not
only
our
own
Age
,
but
the
Holy
Scripture
,
and
the
Histories
of
all
Times
and
Ages
,
as
those
that
read
may
understand
:
And
yet
these
proud
Masterly
and
false
Teachers
,
were
ever
the
first
,
and
forwardest
that
cried
against
Christ
and
his
Followers
,
for
disturbing
the
World's
Peace
;
when
as
this
Doctrine
of
Christ's
Spirit
,
though
it
did
always
disturb
the
Devil's
;
yet
it
did
always
tend
to
the
working
of
the
Hearts
and
Souls
of
the
People
into
God's
Peace
,
and
did
ever
,
and
doth
at
this
day
work
this
glorious
and
blessed
Effect
in
all
that
believe
:
Whereof
we
are
Witnesses
,
praised
be
God
,
though
for
the
Testimony
of
Christ
,
we
are
troubled
on
every
side
by
the
wicked
World
:
So
that
even
now
,
when
the
Wicked
have
no
Peace
(
for
there
is
no
Peace
to
the
Wicked
)
we
whom
the
World
Mock
,
Stone
and
Persecute
,
under
the
Nick
name
of
Quakers
,
or
so
,
have
Peace
in
all
our
Dwellings
:
Egypt
is
full
of
Darkness
,
that
one
may
feel
it
,
yet
in
our
Goshen
is
plenty
of
Light
,
ever
praised
be
God
:
And
when
the
World
of
false
Christians
are
learning
War
,
and
preparing
Weapons
,
we
are
ceasing
from
War
,
and
not
to
learn
it
any
more
,
as
the
Lord
hath
said
.
And
therefore
,
Oh
ye
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
,
if
ye
knew
us
,
ye
would
not
hate
us
,
and
persecute
us
,
but
love
us
with
your
Hearts
,
because
of
the
good
Will
of
our
Hearts
towards
you
;
for
our
Weapons
are
not
Carnal
,
but
Spiritual
:
Not
for
pulling
down
,
or
Destroying
of
you
,
but
your
Enemies
,
your
Sins
,
which
War
against
your
Souls
:
And
the
Reason
why
we
cannot
joyn
with
you
in
your
Liturgies
,
and
Worship-actions
,
is
not
because
we
hate
you
;
but
because
we
love
God
and
your
Souls
;
for
if
we
should
joyn
with
you
in
your
defiled
Worships
,
as
your selves
confess
they
are
,
we
should
strengthen
you
in
an
evil
Way
:
But
by
our
separating
from
you
,
because
of
the
Unholiness
of
your
Sacrifices
,
occasion
may
be
ministred
to
you
to
question
your
State
,
and
so
some
of
you
in
time
may
come
out
of
your
Darkness
,
into
the
marvellous
Light
of
the
Lord
Jesus
with
us
,
and
praise
the
Lord
in
the
Land
of
the
Living
.
So
be
it
.
Another
of
this
R.
B's
Follies
and
false
Doctrines
,
I
may
here
mention
,
as
one
may
read
it
in
that
Book
of
his
that
I
have
under
hand
,
to
wit
,
in
Page
114.
are
these
words
,
It
may
be
unlawful
,
saith
he
,
in
a
Ruler
,
to
command
a
thing
that
will
do
no
good
,
because
it
is
a
Vain
Command
,
and
maketh
Men
spend
that
time
in
vain
,
and
yet
be
the
Subject's
Duty
to
do
it
.
Answ.
This
is
such
Doctrine
as
Paul's
Enemies
taught
,
who
said
,
Men
might
do
evil
,
that
good
might
come
of
it
,
whose
Condemnation
was
just
.
So
to
avoid
Sufferings
from
Men
,
he
would
have
us
to
obey
Unlawful
Commands
,
which
will
do
no
good
,
but
rather
a
great
Evil
;
to
wit
,
make
People
spend
pretious
Time
in
vain
:
Away
with
such
Ant
christ
an
and
Heathenish
Stuff
,
for
all
true
Christians
abhor
it
in
their
Hearts
,
as
the
Lord
,
the
good
Shepherd
hath
Commanded
them
.
And
now
R.
B.
to
that
part
of
thy
feigned
Prayer
,
Page
252.
where
in
words
thou
seemest
to
desire
,
That
God
would
stir
up
some
Faithful
Friend
to
tell
thee
,
with
convincing
Evidence
,
where
it
is
that
thou
hast
Miscarried
,
that
Contrition
may
prepare
thee
for
the
Peace
of
Remission
.
Here
the
Lord
hath
,
contrary
to
thy
will
and
desire
,
stirred
up
one
,
in
Faithfulness
and
Love
to
thy
Soul
,
and
the
Souls
of
the
poor
deluded
People
whom
thou
hast
deceived
,
to
tell
thee
plainly
of
thy
Faults
,
and
grievous
Miscarriages
;
as
by
what
is
convincingly
in
these
Lines
set
down
,
doth
appear
,
and
might
be
more
abundantly
,
if
all
the
Miscariages
in
this
Book
(
only
to
let
pass
all
thy
other
)
were
answered
unto
in
particular
;
but
these
in
this
Answer
of
mine
,
being
as
it
were
least
of
what
the
rest
are
,
may
satisfie
at
present
.
And
Oh
that
the
Righteous
Judgments
of
God
may
come
upon
thy
Heart
,
and
the
Hearts
of
all
them
who
are
in
the
same
false
,
fleshly
Confidence
with
thy self
;
whose
very
Prayers
are
not
without
Sin
,
that
you
may
never
have
Peace
Day
nor
Night
,
until
you
humble
your selves
before
the
Lord
,
and
Repent
of
all
your
hard
Speeches
and
Evil
Deeds
that
you
have
spoken
and
done
against
him
,
and
his
Servants
,
for
the
Truth
's
sake
;
that
,
if
it
be
possible
,
you
may
be
saved
from
the
Wrath
that
will
certainly
come
upon
you
,
if
you
Repent
not
;
for
that
old
wicked
Paper
,
full
of
Lies
,
as
I
made
manifest
before
thee
,
and
some
of
thy
Company
in
thy
Study
(
to
thy
Shame
)
at
Kidder
minster
,
which
thou
writ'st
in
the
Pride
of
thy
Heart
against
us
in
Oliver's
Days
,
when
thou
wast
lifted
up
;
Entituled
,
Reasons
to
Perswade
,
why
no
Reasonable
Man
can
be
a
Quaker
,
amongst
the
rest
of
that
kind
,
which
thou
art
not
Humbled
for
to
this
Day
,
as
I
perceive
by
this
Book
,
do
all
stand
upon
Record
before
the
Lord
,
the
Righteous
Judge
against
thee
;
for
in
those
thy
doings
,
and
all
that
kind
against
the
manifest
and
manifold
Appearances
of
Christ
in
his
People
of
every
degree
thou
hast
plainly
declared
thy self
to
be
of
Rabshekah's
Spirit
,
who
Railed
against
the
Living
God
,
and
his
despised
Israel
;
and
of
that
Spirit
that
Jannes
and
Jambres
,
who
withstood
Moses
in
his
work
,
under
God
,
of
calling
Israel
out
of
Egypt
;
and
as
the
Lord
Pleaded
the
Cause
of
his
People
in
those
Days
,
so
will
he
(
as
he
hath
)
for
ever
,
plead
our
Innocent
Cause
against
thee
,
and
all
his
Enemies
;
for
of
a
truth
the
Lord
God
.
Blessed
for
ever
,
hath
raised
us
up
to
be
his
Servan●
,
Sons
and
Daughters
,
to
bear
his
Name
in
Righteousness
before
the
Children
of
Men
,
in
a
pure
Holy
Witness
against
all
the
false
Ways
and
Worships
of
false
Men
;
(
so
be
it
)
and
so
it
will
be
as
hard
for
thee
,
and
all
,
to
kick
against
the
Pricks
,
as
it
was
in
Persecuting
Saul
,
Acts
9.
Read
and
consider
,
lest
the
Day
pass
over
you
,
as
it
did
from
the
unbelieving
Jews
,
who
would
not
receive
God
come
and
manifest
in
the
Flesh
in
those
days
,
to
whom
Christ
said
,
Ye
will
not
come
to
me
,
that
ye
might
have
Life
;
but
they
would
seek
it
in
the
killing
Letter
,
and
as
it
were
by
the
works
of
the
Law
,
until
mid-night
Darkness
,
and
utter
Desolation
came
upon
them
.
For
,
Oh
how
the
Earth
is
filled
with
Violence
,
because
of
such
Doctrines
and
Teachings
as
this
R.
B.
and
such
Men
brings
forth
;
for
behold
how
the
Field
of
his
Followers
and
Admirers
are
all
overgrown
with
Briers
and
Thorns
,
and
noysom
Weeds
,
as
the
proper
Fruit
of
their
accursed
Doctrines
,
as
this
R.
B.
himself
sets
down
in
his
48th
Direction
,
Page
236.
of
his
Book
,
in
these
words
,
that
is
to
say
,
Oh
Friends
,
how
bad
are
we
our selves
?
What
Pride
is
in
our
Hearts
?
What
Ignorance
in
our
Minds
!
So
wanting
are
we
even
in
the
lowest
Grace
Humility
,
that
we
have
scarce
enough
to
make
us
take
patiently
,
as
now
we
are
giving
out
upon
others
;
So
Selfish
,
as
Dishonoureth
our
Profession
,
with
the
Brand
of
Contradictedness
and
Partiality
;
so
weak
,
that
our
Duties
are
lyable
to
greater
Censures
than
we
can
bear
;
and
our
inward
Graces
weaker
than
our
outward
Duties
[
This
must
needs
be
so
in
the
Duties
of
the
Graceless
Minister
thou
pleads
for
]
of
such
ungoverned
Thoughts
,
that
Confusion
and
Tumult
,
instead
of
Order
and
Fruitful
Improvement
,
are
the
daily
Temper
and
Imployment
of
our
Imaginations
[
This
must
needs
be
so
in
you
that
Live
in
such
Opposition
to
the
Life
of
God
manifest
in
his
Children
at
this
Day
]
So
Passionate
,
Impatient
and
Corrupt
,
that
we
are
a
trouble
to
our selves
and
others
,
[
This
must
needs
proceed
from
such
a
corrupt
Fountain
]
and
a
Dishonour
to
the
Gospel
[
it
is
so
]
and
a
hinderance
to
the
Conversion
of
those
whom
our
holy
Exemplary
Lives
should
win
to
God
:
So
strange
to
Heaven
,
as
if
we
had
never
well
believed
it
[
that
is
so
,
and
therefore
the
Sheep
of
Christ
deny
your
Voice
,
you
who
are
such
Strangers
to
him
]
And
to
say
all
in
one
,
so
empty
of
Love
to
our
dear
Redeemer
,
and
to
the
God
of
Love
,
that
our
Hearts
lye
vacant
to
entertain
the
Love
of
Worldly
Vanities
[
ye
Hypocrites
,
what
have
you
to
do
to
name
Christ
,
who
are
thus
Unbelieving
and
Unredeemed
]
and
to
fly
back
from
the
serious
Thoughts
of
God
,
which
should
be
our
daily
Work
and
Pleasure
,
and
fly
from
the
Face
of
Death
,
as
if
we
should
be
the
worst
,
when
nearest
to
our
God
.
Oh
Hypocrites
!
how
can
you
for
shame
call
God
yours
,
when
you
are
thus
beyond
measure
bad
,
when
Scripture
saith
,
He
that
saith
,
he
knows
God
,
and
keeps
not
his
Commandments
,
is
a
Lyer
,
and
the
Truth
is
not
in
him
,
see
1
John
2.4
.
And
Repent
lest
ye
all
perish
together
,
Priests
and
People
;
for
the
Lord
is
arisen
to
Judgment
,
and
none
can
stand
before
him
,
which
hath
unclean
and
filthy
Garments
,
as
you
are
covered
with
,
whom
R.
B.
here
puts
on
to
be
Teachers
of
others
,
and
yet
remain
your selves
with
him
under
such
woful
Sins
and
Condemnation
,
as
is
here
spoken
of
:
But
surely
if
you
did
believe
,
and
feel
inwardly
that
it
were
so
bad
with
you
,
as
here
in
Words
is
signified
,
you
could
not
go
away
so
lightly
with
your
Burdens
,
as
you
seem
to
do
,
but
it
would
stop
your
Mouths
,
and
cause
all
your
Pride
and
Glory
to
cease
.
For
consider
but
the
first
thing
,
that
this
R.
B.
would
have
you
his
principal
and
best
taught
Hearers
to
confess
,
to
wit
,
That
Pride
is
in
your
very
Hearts
;
which
,
if
you
were
sensible
of
,
you
would
cease
calling
God
your
Father
,
and
Christ
your
Redeemer
in
this
wretched
State
;
for
to
you
,
in
this
State
,
it
may
be
truly
said
,
as
Christ
said
to
those
unbelieving
Jews
,
Ye
are
of
your
Father
the
Devil
;
for
Pride
of
Heart
is
the
chief
part
of
his
wicked
Image
:
And
indeed
,
the
main
thing
in
this
Day
,
which
hinders
you
from
coming
to
Christ
(
the
meek
,
pure
,
and
lowly
Lamb
of
God
)
is
the
Pride
of
your
corrupt
Hearts
,
as
Jeremiah
said
to
the
Jews
,
If
you
will
not
give
Glory
to
God
,
before
your
Feet
stumble
upon
the
dark
Mountains
,
my
Soul
shall
mourn
in
secret
for
your
Pride
:
It
was
the
Pride
of
their
Hearts
,
that
was
the
ground
of
all
their
Evils
,
as
it
is
of
yours
;
for
from
the
Pride
of
your
Hearts
,
comes
your
Ignorance
of
Mind
,
and
Partiality
,
and
want
of
all
good
,
to
the
dishonouring
of
your
Profession
,
and
what
not
?
So
that
it
may
easily
be
known
who
sent
this
R.
B.
who
hath
profited
you
nothing
at
all
:
For
they
have
run
,
and
I
have
not
sent
them
,
saith
God
,
Therefore
they
cannot
profit
the
People
at
all
,
Jer.
23.
And
that
this
R.
B.
might
make
it
fully
appear
under
whose
Banner
he
Fights
,
and
for
whose
Kingdom
he
Pleads
,
lest
the
rest
of
his
Book
should
leave
it
doubtful
:
He
is
now
come
forth
in
his
proper
shape
of
an
Enemy
of
God
,
and
good
Men
,
that
in
any
measure
are
looking
Heaven-ward
,
being
burdened
with
the
Fellowship
of
the
Wicked
,
and
instead
of
helping
the
Lord
's
little
Ones
,
against
the
great
Power
of
the
Dragon
in
the
Persecutors
,
he
hath
hammered
forth
Weapons
for
the
Wicked
Persecutors
,
and
against
the
tender-hearted
Ones
of
God
,
who
are
travelling
to
the
Holy
Land
,
with
Egypt
left
behind
;
as
in
that
55
Direction
,
so
called
,
and
Page
254.
of
his
said
Book
appears
,
where
he
hath
these
words
.
Little
do
many
real
Separates
,
who
cry
out
against
the
Spirit
of
Persecution
,
suspect
that
the
same
Spirit
is
in
them
;
whence
is
Persecution
,
but
from
thinking
ill
of
others
,
and
abhorring
them
,
or
not
loving
them
?
And
do
you
not
so
by
those
(
saith
he
)
whom
you
causelesly
separate
from
?
Answ.
Here
by
way
of
Answer
,
before
I
set
down
any
more
of
this
naughtiness
of
his
,
I
cannot
but
take
notice
of
this
word
(
Causelesly
)
which
here
he
puts
in
to
cover
his
Deceit
;
for
though
,
at
the
first
look
,
one
might
judge
,
he
intended
only
Causeless
,
or
Unwarrantable
,
or
Wicked
Separation
;
yet
,
Reader
,
thou
must
know
,
he
intends
as
well
the
truly
Tender-hearted
People
of
England
,
who
in
Conscience
to
God
,
and
according
to
his
Holy
Commandment
are
come
out
,
and
separated
from
the
Fellowship
of
the
Wicked
in
these
Days
,
and
so
cannot
take
part
in
the
Offerings
of
the
Dead
as
well
as
others
;
and
at
these
,
in
a
special
manner
,
he
strikes
,
after
his
accustomed
manner
,
through
the
sides
of
others
;
for
his
main
Envy
is
against
the
Living
Members
of
Christ
:
And
so
though
those
that
separate
without
cause
,
may
have
the
like
mind
to
those
that
separate
from
being
different
only
in
Form
,
but
not
in
Heart
from
them
;
yet
such
as
are
separated
by
the
Power
of
God
(
as
Paul
was
,
whom
God
separated
from
his
Mothers
Womb
,
calling
him
by
his
Grace
)
have
not
;
for
these
stand
out
of
their
own
thoughts
,
and
are
in
the
Will
,
and
Work
,
and
Worship
of
God
,
whose
Worship
is
in
Spirit
and
Truth
:
But
to
proceed
,
R.
B.
saith
further
.
You
will
say
,
that
though
you
think
them
not
to
be
true
Christians
,
yet
you
love
them
as
Men
,
and
wish
their
good
,
and
so
will
those
say
by
you
(
saith
he
)
whom
you
call
your
Persecutors
;
though
they
think
you
to
be
Proud
and
Humerous
,
and
Disobedient
,
yet
they
say
,
they
love
you
as
Men
;
and
do
but
correct
you
,
to
cure
your Self
willedness
and
Humour
,
and
to
do
you
good
,
and
to
preserve
the
publick
Peace
:
They
think
you
to
be
bad
,
and
therefore
Imprison
you
:
You
think
them
to
be
bad
,
and
therefore
avoid
Communion
with
them
.
To
this
I
cannot
but
by
the
way
speak
a
word
;
Who
is
there
that
sees
not
the
very
Spirit
of
the
Egyptian
Sorcerers
acting
in
this
very
thing
,
to
the
hardening
of
Pharaoh's
Heart
,
lest
he
should
let
Israel
go
?
But
this
R.
B.
goes
on
in
his
Wickedness
,
and
saith
,
They
(
to
wit
,
the
Persecutors
)
think
you
so
bad
,
as
to
be
unworthy
of
civil
Liberty
and
Priviledges
:
You
think
them
so
bad
as
to
be
unworthy
of
Church-Priviledges
and
Liberties
:
They
think
you
unworthy
to
be
suffered
in
the
Land
perhaps
;
and
you
think
them
unworthy
to
be
suffered
in
the
Churches
;
they
cry
against
you
,
Away
with
them
,
they
are
Schismatical
,
or
Heretical
;
you
cry
against
them
,
Away
with
them
,
they
are
Prophane
.
Answ.
Now
in
answer
to
this
,
I
say
,
That
we
who
are
of
the
World
,
Scornfully
called
Quakers
,
have
everlasting
cause
to
Praise
the
Lord
,
who
hath
redeemed
our
Souls
from
among
such
devouring
Wolves
,
as
this
R.
B.
and
from
such
a
venomous
Spirit
as
he
is
acted
by
;
What
Heathen
upon
Earth
could
strengthen
the
Hands
of
the
Persecutors
against
the
Righteous
more
than
this
,
by
such
Comparisons
or
Arguments
:
What
if
this
R.
B.
had
lived
in
the
Days
of
the
Apostles
,
and
first
Christians
,
when
God
separated
them
from
the
Congregation
of
the
unbelieving
Jews
;
surely
he
could
not
but
have
been
accounted
famous
,
and
worthy
of
great
Honour
amongst
those
persecuting
Jews
,
for
such
Comparisons
as
these
;
for
never
an
Argument
he
brings
,
for
the
Persecutors
now
,
but
it
would
as
much
have
fitted
the
Persecutors
then
against
the
Christians
;
yea
,
and
it
would
formerly
,
and
doth
at
this
Day
fit
the
Papists
against
the
Protestan●s
,
as
well
as
the
Persecuting
,
Prophane
,
Superstitious
Protestant
against
them
,
whom
God
hath
drawn
by
his
Mighty
Power
this
Day
from
amongst
them
.
For
seeing
●e
sets
but
Thought
against
Thought
,
the
Persecutor's
Thoughts
of
the
Righteous
,
against
the
Persecuted
Man's
Thoughts
of
him
:
And
seeing
all
Thoughts
are
questionable
,
he
leaves
this
ground
for
the
Persecuting
Jew
to
reason
,
to
excuse
himself
against
the
first
Christians
,
according
to
his
Hellish
Invention
on
this
wise
,
viz.
You
Christians
who
separate
from
us
,
are
of
as
bad
a
Spirit
as
us
Jews
,
whom
you
call
your
Persecutors
;
for
what
is
Persecution
,
but
a
thinking
ill
of
others
,
and
abhorring
them
,
or
not
loving
them
?
And
do
you
not
so
by
us
,
whom
you
causelesly
separate
from
?
And
though
you
say
,
though
you
think
us
not
as
Servants
of
God
,
yet
you
love
us
as
Men
,
and
wish
our
Good
,
so
do
we
you
;
and
that
which
we
do
against
you
,
which
you
call
Persecution
,
is
but
a
correcting
of
you
,
to
Cure
your
Self-willedness
and
Humour
,
and
to
do
you
good
,
and
to
preserve
the
Publick
Peace
:
And
though
you
think
much
,
you
Christians
,
that
we
Imprison
you
,
deny
you
Civil
Liberties
and
Priviledges
,
and
count
you
unworthy
to
be
suffered
in
the
Land
;
yet
all
this
(
by
R.
B's
Doctrine
)
is
far
less
than
you
do
to
us
Jews
;
for
you
think
us
so
bad
,
that
you
avoid
Communion
with
us
,
and
deny
us
Church-liberty
and
Priviledges
;
yea
,
and
think
us
unworthy
to
be
suffered
in
the
Churches
.
Come
R.
B.
Would
this
have
been
good
and
true
Reasoning
by
the
Jews
against
the
Christians
,
or
by
the
Papists
against
the
Protestants
?
Then
if
it
would
not
(
as
no
sober
Man
can
say
it
would
)
then
for
Ever
stop
thy
Mouth
,
and
let
shame
cover
thy
Face
,
for
Ever
speaking
any
more
of
things
pertaining
to
Christian
,
or
Christ's
Religion
;
for
an
Enemy
to
Christ
and
his
People
thou
art
herein
manifest
to
be
:
And
lest
thou
should'st
want
any
thing
to
make
thee
compleat
in
Wickedness
,
thou
goest
on
,
and
in
answer
to
an
Objection
,
which
is
to
this
purpose
,
That
the
Persecutors
separated
from
,
are
bad
,
and
prophane
,
and
he
that
separates
,
saith
he
,
charges
them
truly
;
but
he
is
not
Schismatical
,
or
Heretical
,
but
they
accuse
him
falsly
.
To
this
I
say
,
this
R.
B.
with
a
Whores
Forehead
,
on
the
behalf
of
the
Persecutors
,
answers
and
saith
,
You
(
to
wit
,
you
that
separate
)
say
so
,
and
they
(
to
wit
,
the
Persecutors
)
say
the
same
of
you
:
They
say
you
are
Schismatical
;
but
they
are
not
Prophane
:
Now
how
shall
a
stander-by
know
,
which
of
you
are
in
the
right
?
doubtless
by
the
Witnesses
and
Evidences
,
[
saith
he
]
they
try
you
in
some
Court
,
or
before
some
Magistrate
,
before
they
punish
you
,
[
saith
he
]
you
never
try
them
,
nor
hear
them
speak
for
themselves
;
nor
examine
any
Witness
publickly
against
them
;
nor
allow
them
any
Church-Justice
;
but
avoid
their
Communion
upon
Reports
,
or
pretence
of
private
Knowledge
:
They
judge
you
Personally
,
one
by
one
,
you
condemn
whole
Parishes
in
the
lump
unheard
:
They
condemn
you
,
as
for
a
positive
Crime
,
but
you
condemn
them
,
without
charging
any
one
Crime
upon
them
,
&c.
To
which
I
answer
for
the
Lord
and
his
Truth
,
in
this
Day
of
Israel's
Trouble
and
Trials
,
and
say
,
The
Lord
rebuke
thee
,
thou
Lying
Spirit
,
in
this
R.
B.
Was
there
ever
heard
such
Notorious
Falshoods
and
Abominations
come
from
one
professing
the
Gospel
,
yea
,
professing
himself
to
be
a
Minister
of
the
Gospel
,
yea
,
and
taking
upon
him
to
be
a
Teacher
of
the
Teachers
,
as
is
here
from
this
R.
B
?
Oh!
the
Envy
,
Oh!
the
Malice
,
the
deep-rooted
Iniquity
of
this
Man
against
them
that
depart
from
Iniquity
in
these
Islands
,
and
cannot
join
with
the
People
of
this
wicked
World
,
in
their
Bloody
Offerings
:
Oh!
the
Patience
and
Long-suffering
of
God
towards
such
,
though
they
continue
long
in
their
Wickedness
;
but
the
Lord
will
certainly
plead
with
thee
,
O
R.
B.
and
all
his
Adversaries
,
for
your
great
Envy
to
his
People
and
Work
in
these
Days
:
But
come
let
us
see
again
,
if
these
Lies
of
R.
B.'s
,
would
not
have
suited
as
well
for
the
Persecuting
Jews
against
the
first
Christians
,
or
the
Persecuting
Papists
against
the
Protestants
,
as
it
doth
for
the
Persecutors
in
these
Days
against
those
,
that
in
Obedience
to
God
are
separated
from
them
?
For
what
if
Tertullus
,
or
any
Jewish
Lying
Orator
had
stood
up
in
behalf
of
the
Jews
against
the
Christians
,
and
said
,
The
Jews
try
you
in
some
Court
,
or
before
some
Magistrate
,
before
they
punish
you
;
but
you
Christians
never
try
them
,
nor
hear
them
speak
for
themselves
,
nor
examine
any
Witnesses
publickly
against
them
,
nor
allow
them
any
Church-Justice
,
but
avoid
their
Communion
upon
report
,
or
pretence
of
private
Knowledge
,
and
so
condemn
them
by
the
lump
;
yea
,
a
whole
Nation
together
?
&c.
And
so
if
the
Papist
against
the
Protestants
had
used
the
like
reasoning
,
would
it
have
been
any
thing
but
gross
Untruth
and
Falshood
in
either
of
their
Mouths
?
Or
were
either
the
first
Christians
,
or
first
Protestants
,
any
more
to
be
blamed
for
their
Separation
,
because
of
such
Liars
?
Nay
,
nay
,
neither
are
the
People
of
God
in
these
Days
any
worse
to
be
thought
of
for
separating
from
the
Wicked
,
notwithstanding
all
these
gross
Lies
of
R.
B.
or
any
of
his
Spirit
;
I
say
,
they
are
most
gross
Lies
,
if
they
be
said
of
us
the
People
of
God
,
whom
they
World
in
Scorn
calls
Quakers
,
that
we
have
not
Tried
them
,
&c.
For
we
have
Tried
them
,
and
heard
them
often
what
they
can
say
for
themselves
,
and
we
have
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
found
them
wanting
of
the
Life
and
Power
of
Godliness
,
like
the
Heathen
,
who
profess
not
Christ
,
and
publick
Witnesses
there
are
of
it
,
not
only
their
own
Works
which
are
daily
manifest
in
the
Face
of
the
Sun
,
but
also
their
own
Words
and
Confessions
when
they
meet
to
Worship
;
for
they
say
,
they
have
left
undone
what
God
commands
,
and
done
what
he
forbids
,
and
so
have
no
Spiritual
Health
in
them
;
which
signifies
plainly
,
they
have
denied
Christ
come
in
the
Flesh
;
(
for
whosoever
receives
him
,
receives
God's
Saving
Health
,
and
are
a
saved
People
,
spiritually
healthful
)
they
have
condemned
themselves
by
their
Unbelief
and
evil
Deeds
from
the
Common-wealth
and
Inheritance
of
Israel
:
And
so
not
only
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
in
us
,
but
even
the
Witness
of
God
in
their
own
Consciences
charges
not
only
one
,
but
even
many
great
and
grievous
Crimes
upon
them
.
And
so
R.
B.
with
all
his
Lies
,
and
evil
Inventions
,
(
if
he
Repent
not
)
is
for
the
Lake
;
and
if
ever
he
be
saved
,
it
must
be
through
fiery
terrible
Judgment
,
which
will
consume
the
Adversary
:
For
,
Oh!
how
hath
Satan
blinded
his
Eye
,
that
he
should
thus
rise
up
against
the
People
and
Work
of
God
in
these
Days
to
his
hurt
?
And
when
it
is
objected
,
that
of
all
Men
living
,
no
Man
think
that
a
Persecutor
is
godly
,
and
fit
for
Church-Communion
,
he
doth
not
like
a
Christian
confess
to
the
Truth
thereof
,
but
after
his
accustomed
manner
,
Heathen-like
,
he
invents
his
sorry
shifts
to
avoid
the
force
of
the
Truth
,
by
saying
,
Did
all
the
Ministers
and
Common
People
persecute
you
?
And
then
asking
a
Question
concerning
the
doings
of
the
Souldiers
under
Oliver
,
and
the
like
,
which
are
meer
shifts
;
For
what
is
the
doings
of
any
Men
,
to
make
void
the
Truth
by
it
?
For
whatsoever
any
in
their
Ignorance
of
the
Truth
,
have
done
against
the
Truth
,
serves
nothing
to
the
making
void
of
this
,
to
wit
,
That
a
Persecutor
of
the
Godly
,
is
not
godly
,
nor
fit
for
Church-Communion
;
but
instead
of
giving
Glory
to
God
,
by
Confessing
to
Truth
,
this
R.
B.
after
he
hath
wearied
himself
with
his
words
,
of
what
was
done
in
Oliver's
time
,
he
sums
up
his
Devilish
Doctrine
of
pleading
for
the
Persecutors
,
and
against
those
whom
God
hath
separated
from
them
,
(
saying
to
the
same
wicked
purpose
as
before
)
It
is
but
one
and
the
same
Sin
in
Persecutors
and
the
Separates
,
which
causeth
the
one
to
smite
their
Brethren
,
and
the
other
to
Excommunicate
them
;
&c.
And
so
for
this
thy
summing
up
and
concluding
,
God
hath
concluded
thee
with
the
wicked
Persecutors
,
whom
the
Judgment
of
his
great
Day
will
meet
.
But
hold
,
O!
R.
B.
thou
that
art
thus
hot
,
and
without
all
fear
in
pleading
for
the
Devil's
Kingdom
:
I
say
,
when
the
Lord
bids
us
,
and
we
obey
him
in
separating
from
the
Wicked
;
is
this
all
one
with
the
Sin
of
Persecution
?
Oh
thou
Unjust
Man
!
the
Lord
will
be
terrible
to
thee
in
the
Day
of
his
Wrath
,
which
is
nigh
at
hand
to
come
upon
thee
,
(
if
thou
repent
not
)
for
all
thy
Villany
against
him
,
and
for
all
thy
daubing
deceitful
words
,
in
the
beginning
and
end
of
this
Direction
;
the
Lord
sees
thee
to
be
a
Fighter
against
him
,
and
thy
Reward
will
be
according
to
thy
Works
,
as
he
hath
said
,
and
all
the
Rocks
and
Mountains
of
the
Wicked
World
,
for
whom
thou
pleadest
,
shall
not
hide
thee
from
his
stroke
:
As
testifies
the
good
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
in
his
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
Some
more
of
the
strange
Sayings
of
this
Richard
Baxter
in
his
Book
.
Page
219.
GODLY
Men
are
much
liker
to
be
in
the
right
,
than
Vngodly
Men.
Answ.
This
shews
what
a
Stranger
he
is
to
the
certainty
of
Godliness
.
Page
220.
Sometimes
the
worser
sort
of
Men
may
hold
fast
the
Truth
.
Answ.
This
is
a
gross
Lie
;
for
the
bad
cannot
hold
fast
the
good
,
unless
in
Prison
.
If
any
better
Persons
deny
Infant-Baptism
,
the
worser
Sort
of
People
would
be
all
against
them
,
and
yet
be
in
the
right
.
Answ.
Thus
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
for
which
there
is
no
Scripture
,
must
needs
be
wrong
whosoever
hold
it
;
and
the
Corruption
of
it
appears
so
much
the
more
,
because
the
worser
Sort
are
so
much
for
it
.
Many
do
take
a
Form
of
Prayer
,
or
Liturgy
,
to
be
unlawful
,
meerly
because
the
most
of
the
worser
Sort
are
for
it
.
Answ.
If
thy
Hearers
be
so
b●dly-taught
,
yet
those
that
are
taught
of
God
,
forb●ar
such
things
as
they
know
he
requires
not
of
them
,
but
what
Form
,
or
Liturgy
is
that
,
which
the
most
of
the
worser
Sort
of
the
People
are
for
,
is
it
not
that
which
speaks
Peace
to
the
Wicked
,
by
telling
them
they
were
Regenerated
by
sprinkling
a
little
Water
on
their
Faces
,
or
the
like
,
when
Infants
?
And
that
they
shall
be
saved
,
though
they
continue
in
Sin
all
their
Lives
long
:
But
the
Hour
cometh
,
and
now
is
,
that
neither
in
the
invented
Forms
of
the
Hypocrite's
long
Prayers
,
nor
in
the
short
invented
Forms
and
Liturgies
of
the
Proph●ne
,
but
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
as
the
Lord
Jesus
enables
them
,
will
God
be
worshipped
,
and
served
by
his
People
;
for
the
Day
is
dawned
,
and
the
Shadows
fly
away
;
and
as
the
Day
doth
more
and
more
arise
in
its
Glory
,
will
all
the
things
of
vain
Men
pass
away
.

The
sum
of
his
44th
Directions
,
by
his
own
setting
down
,
runs
thus
,
Ye
take
the
Examples
of
Religious
Men
,
to
be
one
of
your
most
Perilous
Temptations
;
and
therefore
labour
to
discover
,
especially
what
are
the
Sins
of
Professors
,
in
the
Age
that
you
live
in
,
that
you
may
especially
watch
and
fortifie
your
Souls
against
them
:
[
And
adds
]
That
sometimes
the
strictest
Sort
run
in
a
Gang
after
one
Opinion
,
and
sometimes
after
another
.
Answ.
Here
I
Appeal
to
that
of
God
in
all
that
fear
his
Name
,
and
are
alive
to
Truth
,
whether
this
do
not
wholly
tend
to
the
hardening
of
Pharaoh's
Heart
,
against
the
People
of
God
in
these
Days
,
who
are
in
the
Truth
it self
,
and
not
in
Opinions
,
as
the
Hypocrites
are
?
For
though
such
as
are
begotten
into
Forms
of
Religion
(
without
the
Truth
)
by
the
Hirelings
,
do
never
cease
from
erring
,
yet
the
truly
Religious
,
who
are
begotten
to
God
by
Christ
,
walk
in
the
Way
undefiled
,
which
the
Fools
,
who
are
upright
in
Heart
cannot
err
in
.
But
this
his
telling
of
running
in
a
Gang
,
is
a
filthy
and
reproachful
Speech
,
wholly
of
Ashdod
,
and
the
Lord
will
judge
thee
,
O
Enemy
!
for
thy
work
R.
B.
and
therefore
let
all
that
fear
God
,
take
heed
of
this
Man
's
Soul-defiling
,
and
Heart-hardning
Doctrine
;
for
out
of
the
dark
,
and
wicked
Kingdom
,
wherein
he
and
all
such
live
,
is
the
Lord
calling
his
People
.
And
to
conclude
,
If
any
would
see
this
Harlot
in
its
fine
Dress
,
and
the
Crooked
Serpent
in
its
glittering
Colour
on
the
Head
which
must
be
bruised
,
and
yet
with
his
Sting
in
his
Tail
,
which
is
full
of
Venom
,
let
them
consider
that
44th
Direction
,
which
runs
thus
,
Desire
the
highest
Degree
of
Holiness
,
and
to
be
free
from
the
Corruptions
of
the
Times
,
but
●ffect
not
to
be
old
,
and
singular
,
from
ordinary
Christians
in
lawful
things
;
for
instance
,
If
it
were
to
go
in
a
meaner
Garb
than
others
,
and
as
the
Quakers
,
not
to
put
off
the
Hat
;
or
with
the
Friars
,
to
go
barefoot
,
or
in
a
distinguishing
Habit
,
that
all
Men
may
see
,
and
say
,
This
is
a
singular
Person
in
Religion
;
it
is
easie
to
see
how
this
gratifieth
Pride
.
Answ.
But
now
that
the
Lord
is
arisen
according
to
his
Promise
,
Isa.
27.1
.
which
saith
,
In
that
Day
the
Lord
with
his
sore
,
and
great
,
and
strong
Sword
,
shall
punish
Leviathan
the
piercing
Serpent
,
even
Leviathan
that
crocked
Serpent
,
and
he
shall
slay
the
Dragon
that
is
in
the
Sea
.
Therefore
,
I
say
,
it
is
,
that
the
Dragon
is
so
wrathful
to
pour
forth
his
Floods
of
Persecution
after
the
Heavenly
Woman
,
and
her
Man
child
:
And
there
fore
it
is
,
that
the
Crooked
Serpent
in
such
Men
(
as
this
is
)
is
so
at
work
,
every
way
seeking
with
their
Cunning
and
Crafty
Deceitful
Doctrines
,
to
pierce
the
Heart
,
the
Life
of
Truth
,
by
their
Darts
;
and
so
with
their
fair
colourable
words
,
as
the
Apostle
speaks
,
to
deceive
the
Hearts
of
the
Simple
and
Ignorant
People
,
but
the
Lord
taketh
the
Wilely
in
their
own
Craftiness
,
and
the
Pit
they
dig
for
others
,
themselves
fall
into
,
and
the
Lord
's
Spiritual
Sword
of
Truth
pierces
through
all
their
Lives
;
and
Dead
in
the
great
Sea
and
Puddle
of
their
own
Iniquities
before
the
Lord
,
and
his
Saints
,
this
Day
they
lye
▪
Glory
to
his
Name
,
the
Mighty
God
over
all
,
who
is
worthy
.
For
what
more
glistering
and
fair-seeming
words
can
the
Serpent
give
,
than
to
say
,
Desire
the
highest
Degree
of
Holiness
,
and
to
be
free
from
the
Corruptions
of
the
Time
:
But
that
this
R.
B.
intends
no
such
thing
,
no
,
nor
believes
that
any
shall
ever
attain
to
any
such
thing
,
whilst
on
the
Earth
,
is
most
manifest
by
the
whole
current
of
his
Doctrine
;
for
not
only
in
his
former
Books
,
where
he
hath
publickly
declared
,
That
sinless
Perfection
is
the
Doctrine
of
the
Devil
,
hatch'd
in
Hell
,
&c.
But
even
in
this
very
Book
,
it
fully
appears
what
an
Enemy
he
is
,
not
only
to
the
highest
degree
,
but
even
to
Holiness
it self
,
where
amongst
his
other
Unholy
Doctrines
he
saith
,
as
is
before
mentioned
,
from
Page
195.
That
there
is
no
Man
alive
,
that
worsh●ppeth
God
without
some
sin
,
(
and
adds
)
Do
you
ever
pray
your selves
in
secret
,
or
in
your
Families
without
sin
?
And
a
better
State
than
this
he
doth
not
believe
,
that
any
shall
here
come
unto
;
and
for
being
free
from
the
Corruption
of
the
Times
;
what
hast
thou
to
do
,
O
R.
B
!
to
talk
of
this
,
who
art
one
with
the
Corrupt
,
pleading
for
Conformity
,
even
with
the
Persecutors
of
Godliness
it self
?
Yea
,
seeking
to
make
such
,
as
good
and
excuseable
before
the
Lord
in
their
Persecutions
of
the
Godly
,
as
the
Godly
themselves
are
,
who
in
Obedience
to
God
do
separate
from
them
:
What!
Is
Praying
to
God
with
sin
in
your
Hearts
,
the
highest
Degree
of
your
Godliness
?
Oh
Hypocrites
!
Yea
,
it
is
:
And
is
your
Conforming
to
the
Worship-Actions
of
the
Persecutors
,
who
take
God's
Name
in
vain
,
when
ever
they
mention
it
in
that
State
,
no
Corruption
?
And
not
only
so
,
but
your
Oneness
with
the
Times
in
many
of
their
Corrupt
Customs
of
daily
Conversation
,
as
every
Eye
sees
,
no
Corruptions
?
But
above
all
,
Corruption
is
gone
forth
over
all
the
Land
,
even
from
the
Teachers
,
such
as
this
R.
B.
is
,
who
in
words
can
tell
others
of
forsaking
it
;
for
what
greater
Corruption
,
than
for
the
Priests
to
love
to
be
called
of
Men
Masters
,
and
to
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
Divine
for
Money
,
and
to
cry
,
Peace
,
Peace
to
the
Wicked
;
especially
such
as
put
into
their
Mouths
:
But
if
any
put
not
into
their
Mouths
,
then
they
prepare
War
against
them
,
as
both
in
Oliver's
time
,
and
since
,
they
have
done
,
to
the
impoverishing
and
spoiling
them
that
fear
God
of
their
Goods
,
and
imprisoning
several
to
Death
upon
the
same
account
:
What
would
Christ
,
(
Mat.
23.
)
and
the
Prophets
,
Jeremiah
,
and
Isaiah
,
and
Micah
,
and
the
rest
,
have
cried
so
vehemently
against
such
things
,
if
they
had
not
been
grievous
Corruptions
of
the
Times
?
See
Jer.
5.30
,
31.
Isa.
56.
Micah
3.5
,
&c.
And
so
when
the
Priests
are
Proud
,
and
Covetous
,
and
Cruel
;
what
can
their
Followers
be
,
but
like
them
?
It
is
not
the
Priests
telling
People
,
they
must
desire
after
Holiness
,
and
forsake
the
Corruptions
of
the
Times
,
that
will
do
any
good
,
so
long
as
the
Teachers
themselves
live
in
Unholiness
and
Corruptions
,
and
smite
with
the
Fist
of
Wickedness
;
for
doth
not
that
in
the
Conscience
say
to
such
?
Thou
that
teachest
another
;
why
doest
not
thou
teach
thy self
:
But
they
have
run
,
and
God
hath
not
sent
them
,
therefore
(
they
are
such
Briars
,
and
Thistles
,
and
)
cannot
profit
the
People
at
all
,
Jer.
23.
And
they
say
to
every
one
that
walks
after
the
Imaginations
of
their
evil
Hearts
,
ye
shall
have
Peace
:
But
for
these
things
,
the
Lord
hath
,
and
yet
will
severely
judge
them
,
Head
and
Tail
,
Root
and
Branch
,
in
his
great
Day
.
And
now
to
that
which
he
saith
to
his
Disciples
;
Be
not
odd
and
singular
from
ordinary
Christians
in
lawful
things
,
if
it
be
to
go
in
a
meaner
Garb
than
others
,
or
not
to
put
off
the
Hat
,
or
to
go
bare-foot
,
or
in
a
distinguishing
Habit
,
this
gratifieth
Pride
.
Answ.
To
this
I
may
say
,
Wo
be
to
them
that
call
Evil
Good
,
and
Good
Evil
,
that
account
keeping
on
the
Hat
in
simplicity
of
Heart
to
God
,
as
we
do
our
other
Garments
,
without
Contempt
to
any
;
I
say
,
that
account
and
call
this
Evil
,
and
yet
account
putting
off
the
Hat
,
in
Honour
to
Proud
Flesh
,
Good
;
the
Apostle
James
saith
,
He
that
hath
respect
to
Persons
committeth
Sin
,
and
is
convinced
of
the
Law
as
a
Transgressor
,
Jam.
2.9
.
But
R.B.
in
this
his
pleading
for
the
Hat
,
saith
[
it
is
lawful
]
but
to
keep
Christ's
Commands
,
in
having
respect
to
Christ
,
and
not
to
the
Persons
of
Men
[
oddness
and
singularity
]
though
this
Man
,
and
his
Fellows
,
condemn
us
for
this
,
yet
Christ
justifies
us
,
and
so
we
have
Peace
with
God
:
And
for
going
in
a
meaner
Garb
than
others
;
whosoever
he
intends
by
this
,
we
know
that
he
,
and
all
such
Proud
Masterly
Teachers
,
are
far
enough
from
this
,
for
they
are
quite
out
in
the
other
Extream
;
for
if
you
will
find
Pride
and
Prodigality
,
who
more
Notorious
in
the
Land
than
the
Priests
and
their
Families
,
who
live
in
Pride
,
Idleness
,
Fulness
of
Bread
,
and
the
poor
People
see
it
,
though
they
are
forced
to
labour
and
drudge
for
them
,
as
the
Israelites
in
Egypt
:
And
so
they
spend
their
Money
,
for
that
which
is
not
Bread
,
and
their
Labours
,
for
that
which
satisfies
not
their
Souls
,
as
the
Prophet
of
Old
complain'd
;
and
that
which
is
most
sad
,
they
must
do
it
by
force
;
for
if
the
People
do
see
them
to
be
totally
void
of
Grace
in
their
Lives
,
yet
according
to
R.
B's
Doctrine
,
they
must
not
take
them
for
no
Ministers
,
however
they
must
be
at
cost
with
them
,
to
maintain
them
in
their
Pride
and
Idleness
,
or
else
look
for
a
Prison
,
or
spoiling
of
their
Goods
,
or
the
like
;
but
the
Lord
hath
shaken
his
Hand
at
such
dishonest
Gain
.
But
as
for
a
distinguishing
Habit
,
which
this
R.
B.
Charges
upon
the
Friars
;
how
is
it
that
he
could
not
see
himself
,
and
his
Brethren
,
in
their
distinguishing
Habits
of
Black
Gowns
,
Black
Cloths
,
Tippets
,
Hoods
,
Surplices
,
and
the
like
?
Oh!
these
Unjust
Men
,
who
are
all
Eye
abroad
,
and
none
at
home
;
but
this
was
ever
the
Nature
of
such
as
were
out
of
Christ's
Doctrine
.
Also
whereas
this
R.
B.
by
these
words
,
[
That
all
may
see
and
say
,
this
is
a
singular
Person
in
Religion
]
doth
endeavour
to
make
People
believe
,
that
,
our
not
putting
off
our
Hats
,
(
which
we
do
meerly
in
Obedience
to
God
,
who
commands
us
not
to
honour
proud
Flesh
)
is
done
for
a
selfish
End
,
and
in
our
own
Wills
,
to
get
a
Name
,
is
such
a
piece
of
Haughtiness
and
Foolishness
in
him
,
that
nothing
but
meer
Envy
could
have
taught
him
such
a
piece
of
Unreasonableness
;
for
who
is
there
that
sees
not
the
contrary
Effect
to
come
of
our
not
putting
off
our
Hat
,
to
what
R.
B.
here
sets
down
?
For
it
is
so
far
from
getting
us
a
Name
of
being
Religious
amongst
Men
,
that
they
do
as
it
were
with
one
Mouth
cry
out
against
us
,
unmannerly
Fellows
,
and
the
like
,
for
it
:
And
truly
,
but
that
the
pure
Fear
of
God
strengthens
us
,
it
were
impossible
for
us
to
bear
the
Reproaches
,
Finings
,
and
Beatings
,
and
daily
Cross
that
attends
this
very
same
thing
;
so
that
to
cross
proud
Flesh
in
this
one
thing
,
exposes
the
poor
Creature
to
great
Trials
in
these
degenerate
Days
,
even
amongst
them
that
profess
Christ
,
(
who
made
himself
of
no
Reputation
in
this
World
)
from
whom
one
might
expect
better
usage
,
for
so
harmless
a
thing
:
But
as
Christ
,
and
his
Apostles
,
and
Disciples
,
found
no
better
usage
amongst
the
professing
Jews
of
those
Days
,
for
doing
the
Will
of
God
:
So
we
are
even
made
content
to
undergo
all
things
for
the
Truth
's
sake
from
our
own
Country-men
and
Professors
in
these
Days
,
even
from
all
who
profess
the
Letter
,
and
want
the
Life
and
Vertue
of
what
they
do
profess
:
And
praised
be
God
for
Ever
,
who
through
his
Grace
gives
our
Souls
the
Victory
;
but
as
for
this
R.
B.
and
his
Followers
,
who
are
so
full
of
that
earthly
faln
Wisdom
,
which
receives
Honour
of
Men
,
and
judges
of
things
according
to
the
Flesh
;
I
say
,
for
them
to
seek
God's
Honour
,
and
glorifie
him
in
such
low
contemptible
things
,
as
this
is
,
is
at
present
far
from
them
;
but
to
put
off
the
Hat
in
Honour
to
proud
Flesh
,
and
to
love
g●eetings
in
the
Markets
,
and
to
go
in
long
Robes
,
as
the
Old
Pharisees
did
,
and
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
,
and
the
like
,
which
gets
Praise
and
Applause
of
the
World
,
though
Christ
forbid
it
never
so
much
,
I
say
,
these
things
they
like
better
,
the
more
is
the
pity
;
see
Mat.
23.
and
so
it
appears
who
are
in
the
Selfishness
,
Pride
and
Hypocrisie
,
and
who
are
not
;
and
so
is
the
Scripture
fulfilled
,
which
saith
,
In
that
Day
it
shall
be
seen
,
who
are
they
that
fear
God
,
and
who
not
;
Glory
to
God
for
his
unspeakable
Gift
,
and
not
unto
us
,
but
to
thy
Name
be
the
Praise
,
O
Lord
.
What
would
this
R.
B.
(
if
he
had
been
in
those
Days
)
have
said
of
Christ
,
of
whom
it
was
said
,
That
he
taught
the
Way
of
God
truly
,
and
regarded
not
the
Persons
of
Men
,
(
then
surely
he
put
not
off
a
Hat
in
Honour
to
proud
Flesh
,
as
ye
do
)
I
say
,
would
not
this
Man
have
called
him
some
odd
Conceited
,
Singular
,
Proud
Fellow
,
like
as
his
Predecessors
the
Pharisees
of
those
Days
(
who
received
Honour
one
of
another
)
did
?
No
question
but
he
would
;
for
if
he
do
thus
to
us
his
Servants
,
what
would
he
have
done
to
him
our
Lord
and
Master
?
But
happy
are
all
they
in
this
Day
,
who
chuse
rather
to
suffer
the
Affliction
and
Reproach
with
Christ
and
his
People
,
than
to
enjoy
the
Pleasures
of
Sin
,
which
are
but
for
a
Season
.
So
be
it
.
Also
because
this
R.
B.
in
Page
27.
of
his
Preface
saith
,
That
People
are
far
more
averse
(
that
is
,
contrary
or
against
)
to
Communion
or
Concord
with
the
Parish
Churches
,
than
the
Conforming
Ministers
are
;
and
yet
he
seems
in
his
Epistle
to
Bryan's
Book
,
to
be
unwilling
that
People
should
think
he
hath
Conformed
,
though
he
hath
pleaded
for
it
,
and
against
Separating
from
the
Parish
Assemblies
and
Worships
,
as
now
manag'd
:
And
also
seeing
that
Bryan
,
as
he
saith
,
is
,
or
was
silenced
for
Nonconformity
himself
,
I
desire
all
that
reads
these
Lines
,
to
take
notice
of
what
a
strange
,
uneven
and
unrighteous
Spirit
these
Men
are
of
,
in
their
creeping
,
and
twisting
,
and
twining
to
and
fro
;
yet
the
Eye
of
the
Lord
,
and
his
Blessed
Spirit
in
his
Children
this
Day
doth
easily
spy
them
out
:
Sometimes
they
are
all
for
Conformity
,
and
against
Separation
by
any
means
,
and
plead
the
Common-Prayer-Peoples
Cause
with
all
their
might
▪
as
it
were
;
and
yet
presently
they
are
all
on
a
fire
against
any
that
shall
think
they
are
Conformists
:
Nay
,
says
R.
B.
How
can
any
judge
him
to
be
a
Conformist
,
who
is
silenced
for
Nonconformity
?
But
if
this
Man
,
(
sometime
a
Head
to
those
called
Presbyterians
at
and
about
Kidderminster
)
and
Bryan
of
the
same
Nature
,
sometimes
a
Teacher
at
Coventry
,
be
not
Conformed
,
or
be
not
yet
Conformists
,
as
well
as
others
of
their
Brethren
,
who
have
long
since
swallowed
down
,
the
Old
Common
Prayer
Service
,
as
they
called
it
,
which
they
rejected
in
Oliver's
time
,
because
it
hindred
them
then
from
devouring
the
Peoples
Labours
;
and
seeing
they
plead
so
shamelesly
for
it
now
;
and
also
seeing
this
R.
B.
in
express
words
confesseth
,
That
they
are
not
so
much
against
Conformity
with
the
Common-Prayer
Service
,
as
the
People
are
;
What
may
be
the
Reason
of
this
strange
thing
,
to
wit
,
That
they
do
not
in
all
things
conform
,
in
Deed
and
Practice
,
as
well
as
in
words
,
save
only
,
as
is
plain
to
me
,
this
;
because
they
judge
that
their
Admirers
are
not
yet
sufficiently
wearied
out
with
keeping
off
,
nor
sufficiently
moulded
and
fitted
in
their
Minds
for
coming
in
;
and
therefore
they
have
lingred
,
and
may
yet
linger
a
while
longer
before
they
do
openly
,
and
before
all
appear
Conformists
,
desiring
,
if
possible
,
to
see
the
People
in
before
them
;
for
these
Two
Chief
Presbyterian
Priests
,
so
called
,
are
already
in
the
Parish
Stuff
,
in
their
Judgment
,
and
with
their
Minds
and
Hearts
already
,
or
at
least
would
be
thought
so
to
be
by
the
wicked
World
,
of
whom
they
are
Lovers
:
Yet
they
see
not
how
to
vend
their
flattering
Doctrines
,
if
their
Admirers
Conform
not
,
and
come
not
in
with
them
,
or
rather
be
not
in
the
Pit
before
them
;
so
weak
and
wretched
a
thing
is
Man
,
yea
,
the
best-seeming
of
the
Sons
of
Men
,
out
of
the
Truth
;
Oh!
how
truly
fulfilled
by
these
Men
,
are
those
words
of
the
Apostle
,
where
he
speaking
of
the
False
,
Hypocritical
,
Ontside
Teachers
of
that
Time
,
saith
,
With
good
Words
,
and
fair
Speeches
,
they
deceive
the
Hearts
of
the
Simple
?
Therefore
ever-praised
be
Christ
,
who
hath
opened
our
Eyes
to
see
,
and
perswaded
our
Hearts
,
to
avoid
such
Wolves
in
Sheeps
clothing
,
as
this
R
B.
and
Bryan
are
;
for
,
what
finer
and
higher
Talk
,
or
Skin
,
or
Clothing
,
can
the
Wolf
get
,
than
to
make
Sermons
of
dwelling
with
God
,
and
the
like
,
as
this
Bryan
doth
?
When
it
's
manifest
,
he
neither
knows
God
,
nor
his
Way
,
nor
his
Dwelling-place
;
but
is
inwardly
ravened
,
from
that
Good
and
Blessed
Spirit
of
Truth
and
Honesty
which
should
commend
him
to
God
.
The
Wolves
Nature
in
R.
B.
is
already
in
this
Writing
set
down
and
manifest
;
and
now
I
come
in
the
Light
of
the
Lord
,
to
make
manifest
some
of
his
Brother
Bryan's
.
And
first
shall
set
down
that
Blasphemous
Passage
of
his
,
in
p.
291
,
and
292.
of
his
sixth
Sermon
,
in
that
Book
of
his
,
Intituled
,
Dwelling
with
God
,
&c.
where
he
saith
,
I
am
not
ignorant
,
that
many
of
you
,
whose
Habitation
,
I
question
not
but
the
Lond
is
;
who
have
your
Habitation
in
several
Countries
of
this
Kingdom
,
have
drunk
a
deep
Prejudice
,
against
all
the
Parochial
Congregations
,
whereof
you
are
Legal
Members
,
and
where
all
you
were
Baptized
,
and
thereby
were
made
the
Members
of
Christ
,
the
Children
of
God
,
and
Heirs
of
his
Kingdom
:
I
fear
some
of
you
will
startle
at
these
Expressions
,
found
in
the
Common
Prayer
;
but
if
you
consult
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
you
will
find
them
warranted
in
a
Sacramental
Senon
;
and
your
Prejudice
hath
so
far
wrought
upon
you
,
that
you
have
forsaken
the
assembling
of
your selves
together
with
your
Neighbours
,
in
the
publick
Meeting-places
.
Thus
far
this
Bryan
.
Answ.
But
ever
praised
be
the
Lord
,
who
hath
delivered
us
from
the
Mouths
of
such
manifest
Wolves
as
these
are
,
who
in
times
past
were
hidden
,
but
are
now
fully
seen
,
(
who
,
though
his
Brother
R.
B.
says
,
his
Mouth
was
stopt
,
or
silenced
for
not
Conforming
,
yet
here
it
seems
it
is
wide
open
still
,
according
to
his
and
their
Custom
,
to
manifest
his
Folly
and
wicked
in-side
against
the
Truth
,
and
for
Deceit
)
that
the
Simple-hearted
might
for
ever
be
warned
from
following
such
any
more
;
for
who
would
have
thought
,
that
ever
(
him
called
)
Dr.
Bryan
of
Coventry
,
and
Richard
(
called
Mr.
)
Baxter
of
Kidderminster
,
who
were
so
promoted
in
Oliver's
time
,
for
Conformity
to
Oliver's
Laws
and
Religion
,
in
opposition
to
the
Prelates
,
and
their
Common-Prayers
,
should
now
,
with
a
little
blast
of
Mens
Breath
,
be
silenced
(
as
R.
B's
Epistle
to
his
Book
saith
)
for
a
time
,
and
so
shattered
and
confound●d
with
the
Fall
,
that
when
they
awaked
,
and
got
a
little
Breath
,
that
they
should
,
for
fear
of
Men
,
be
so
transformed
into
other
shapes
,
as
not
to
be
ashamed
to
get
into
their
Mouths
blasphemous
words
[
of
making
People
Members
of
Christ
,
Children
of
God
,
and
Heirs
of
his
Kingdom
]
by
having
a
little
Water
sprinkled
on
their
Faces
by
a
Man-made
Priest
,
when
they
were
Infants
,
and
understood
nothing
;
which
passage
is
contrary
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
as
all
sober
minded
People
may
well
understand
;
yea
,
and
this
Bryan
himself
knows
in
his
own
Conscience
,
that
they
are
not
sound
words
,
though
he
most
notoriously
and
falsly
says
,
to
please
the
present
Evil
World
[
with
all
]
that
the
Holy
Scriptures
warrant
them
in
a
Sacramental
Sence
.
But
I
desire
that
all
People
,
who
fear
the
Lord
,
would
take
heed
of
such
dangerous
Heresies
;
for
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
do
not
allow
of
Falshood
in
any
Sence
at
all
;
for
it
's
absolutely
false
in
the
sight
of
God
,
and
to
all
good
Men
,
that
Infants
,
by
any
such
outward
Sprinkling
or
doing
(
as
they
call
Baptism
)
are
made
the
Children
of
God
,
Members
of
Christ
,
Heirs
of
his
Kingdom
;
seeing
the
Scripture
now
here
commands
any
such
thing
,
but
saith
,
That
except
People
be
born
from
above
,
they
cannot
see
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
But
the
Day
is
dawned
,
that
makes
all
things
manifest
,
Praises
to
God
:
And
therefore
People
consider
what
a
Wretchedness
those
are
under
,
who
follow
such
blind
Guides
,
as
turn
and
change
with
every
Time
,
and
can
be
any
thing
or
nothing
in
appearance
,
so
that
they
can
but
keep
up
their
Name
amongst
Men.
What
,
was
was
the
Common-Prayers
,
and
such
things
,
so
odious
a
thing
in
the
Eyes
of
these
Priests
in
Oliver's
Time
?
And
is
it
now
,
yea
the
worst
part
of
it
,
become
such
an
Idol
in
their
Eyes
,
as
that
those
that
dwell
in
God
,
must
be
condemned
of
deep
Prejudice
for
not
Consormity
to
it
?
What
,
will
not
that
Spirit
that
climbs
over
the
Door
,
and
never
was
sent
of
God
to
preach
the
Gospel
,
say
,
or
unsay
,
so
as
it
can
but
please
the
present
Times
?
But
Oh
thou
Blasphemous
Bryan
,
the
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
;
Can
those
that
dwell
with
God
,
deny
to
conform
to
that
Worship
or
Service
which
is
of
God
?
And
therefore
it
is
safely
and
truly
concluded
,
that
the
Service
thou
pleads
for
,
is
not
of
God
,
because
for
Conscience
to
God
,
with
whom
they
dwell
,
they
cannot
conform
to
it
:
But
Oh
how
the
Serpent
creeps
upon
his
Belly
to
do
mischief
,
by
seeking
to
perswade
the
Consciencious
People
,
That
by
their
not
joyning
with
the
Parish-Worships
and
Assemblies
,
they
open
their
Mouths
wide
,
to
cast
a
Scandal
upon
their
Persons
,
as
Prophane
,
and
upon
the
strict
Profession
of
walking
precisely
according
to
the
written
Word
,
which
they
think
(
says
this
Bryan
,
in
that
P.
292.
of
his
Book
)
gives
you
no
warrant
for
your
Separation
,
&c.
And
then
down
upon
his
Belly
he
goes
,
saying
,
My
humble
and
earnest
Request
to
you
is
,
to
lay
aside
your
Prejudice
,
and
examine
by
the
good
Word
,
whether
your
Separation
be
not
sinful
.
Answ.
To
which
I
answer
in
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
Blessed
for
ever
,
that
we
,
who
for
the
Work
and
Word
of
the
Lord
in
our
Hearts
and
Mouths
,
are
by
the
sinful
Priests
of
England
,
and
elsewhere
,
disdained
,
and
scornfully
called
Quakers
,
are
not
separated
from
them
because
of
any
Prejudice
,
or
the
like
,
against
them
;
but
God
,
who
by
his
Everlasting
Light
of
Truth
,
hath
shewed
us
the
Evil
of
their
Doings
,
and
of
our
own
,
when
we
worshipped
we
knew
not
what
amongst
them
;
he
,
I
say
,
hath
separated
us
from
them
,
and
joyned
us
to
himself
in
Christ
Jesus
,
where
,
with
him
,
our
Dwelling
is
indeed
,
(
though
Bryan
think
not
so
)
praised
be
the
Name
of
our
most
Holy
Lord
God
for
evermore
.
And
so
we
are
not
yet
to
examine
,
whether
our
Separation
be
sinful
,
or
nay
;
for
that
is
done
,
and
we
do
know
it
to
be
good
,
according
to
the
good
Word
from
the
beginning
,
most
certainly
.
And
so
the
Offence
which
the
Parish-worshippers
take
,
is
Offence
without
all
Canse
on
our
parts
given
;
and
so
it
is
no
other
,
than
the
Unbelievers
took
in
all
Generations
,
against
them
that
feared
God
;
as
the
Jews
were
offended
at
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
yea
,
and
all
Christians
in
those
days
,
because
they
could
not
worship
with
their
Neighbours
in
their
Superstitions
,
as
this
Bryan
would
have
us
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
they
killed
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
and
grievously
persecuted
the
Christians
for
their
Separation
then
,
as
they
do
us
at
this
day
;
and
so
the
Reproach
of
Christ
,
is
to
us
great
Riches
,
and
the
Persecutors
God
will
examine
and
judge
:
And
as
Moses
did
chuse
rather
to
suffer
Affliction
with
the
People
of
God
,
than
to
enjoy
Egypt's
Glory
for
a
Season
,
so
B●essed
are
all
,
that
with
us
are
perswaded
in
their
Hearts
,
to
follow
the
Lamb
wheresoever
he
goes
,
not
heeding
what
the
Wicked
say
or
judge
of
them
;
but
as
the
Apostle
exhorts
,
looking
at
Jesus
the
Author
and
Finisher
of
our
Faith
,
who
for
the
Joy
that
was
set
before
him
,
endured
the
Cross
,
and
despised
the
Shame
;
and
so
through
all
the
Tryals
and
Persecutions
of
this
World
,
enter
into
God's
Glory
,
where
none
can
come
to
make
afraid
.
But
if
there
be
any
,
who
through
Prejudice
(
as
this
Bryan
speaks
)
and
not
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
,
are
separated
from
the
Parish-Worship
;
it
is
necessary
for
such
to
see
to
themselves
,
and
consider
,
lest
their
Return
be
as
Shameful
,
as
their
Separation
was
Sinful
,
(
like
this
Bryan
and
R.
B
)
who
,
it
seems
,
all
this
while
,
have
been
no
real
and
true
Separatists
to
God
;
but
have
been
only
in
the
Self
separation
according
to
the
Will
and
Force
of
Times
:
For
though
the
poor
deceived
Followers
of
such
Men
,
be
at
present
more
averse
from
joyning
with
the
Superstitions
of
the
Times
,
than
your
Hearers
are
(
as
R.
B.
says
)
yet
if
you
grow
not
out
of
their
rotten
Root
,
into
the
Root
Christ
Jesus
,
you
will
be
weary
and
faint
in
your
Way
before
the
end
:
But
let
all
know
,
that
these
Self-separatists
,
who
have
not
their
Birth
of
God
,
are
not
real
Dwellers
with
God
;
though
this
Bryan
,
it
's
like
,
had
an
Eye
especially
to
such
in
his
words
,
and
to
whom
,
it
's
like
,
in
a
special
manner
he
applies
his
fawning
flattering
Words
and
Desires
:
But
what
's
the
Reason
,
may
we
say
again
,
that
these
Non-conforming
Ministers
,
by
R.
B's
report
,
are
not
so
much
against
the
Parish
Way
of
Worship
,
as
now
managed
,
as
their
Hearers
are
,
save
only
their
gross
Hypocrisie
,
and
self-seeking
Nature
,
and
double
Mind
,
as
was
hinted
before
?
For
they
have
carried
the
People
in
hand
,
that
they
would
suffer
;
yea
,
what
would
they
not
suffer
,
rather
than
Conform
:
And
now
behold
how
this
Teacher
of
Teachers
(
R.
B.
)
hath
bewrayed
their
Nakedness
:
O
People
,
People
,
who
have
been
long
deceived
by
such
double-minded
ones
(
who
are
unstable
in
all
their
Ways
)
that
you
would
turn
your
Minds
from
them
,
to
the
true
Light
of
Jesus
Christ
in
your
Conscience
,
that
with
it
you
might
first
see
your selves
,
and
so
growing
up
in
that
true
Light
,
you
might
come
to
see
Jesus
Christ
,
who
never
fell
,
nor
never
changeth
,
to
be
your
Teacher
and
Minister
;
and
so
come
from
off
the
Barren
Mountains
,
whether
these
,
and
the
like
,
deceitful
Men
(
R.
B.
and
Bryan
)
have
led
you
,
and
left
you
;
for
now
is
the
Lord
making
unto
all
People
a
Feast
of
Fat
things
,
of
Wine
on
the
Lees
well
refined
,
ever
praised
be
his
Name
for
it
:
And
now
,
if
after
all
the
Light
that
the
Lord
hath
set
up
in
this
day
,
you
will
not
be
warned
to
come
into
the
Liberty
of
the
Sons
of
God
,
and
so
accept
of
God's
Freedom
in
his
Son
freely
tendered
you
;
what
remains
?
But
if
you
be
fastned
more
in
the
Pit
of
Darkness
with
all
Unbelievers
,
it
is
just
.
But
whereas
this
R.
B.
tells
of
his
Brother
Bryan's
silencing
formerly
for
not
Conforming
,
it
had
been
well
for
him
that
he
had
been
silent
still
,
rather
than
have
opened
his
Mouth
thus
to
the
dishonour
of
God
,
and
strengthening
Deceit
in
the
Deceitful
,
and
so
to
the
Shame
and
Confusion
of
his
own
Face
;
and
all
his
raking
up
something
here
and
there
,
as
he
could
get
hold
of
it
in
his
dark
Imaginations
,
for
Parish-conformity
,
it
is
so
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
and
so
well
seen
to
be
so
,
by
all
that
are
not
wilfully
blind
,
that
it
serves
only
to
discover
his
own
Nakedness
,
and
rotten
in
side
,
as
not
only
by
what
hath
been
already
said
,
but
by
what
also
now
follows
doth
further
appear
,
as
in
Page
295
is
set
down
,
where
he
faith
,
It
is
no
sufficient
Warrant
to
separate
from
a
Church
,
because
it
is
guilty
of
such
Sins
and
Corruptions
as
deserves
God
should
forsake
,
and
for
which
he
hath
threatned
in
his
Word
,
that
he
will
forsake
it
.
(
Here
by
the
way
take
notice
,
that
this
Bryan
here
considered
not
,
that
he
fully
makes
manifest
the
Hypocrisie
of
his
Brother
R.
B.
who
talks
of
his
Hearers
forsaking
the
Corruptions
of
the
Times
,
and
yet
is
one
with
this
Bryan
,
in
perswading
them
to
joyn
with
such
a
Body
,
as
is
so
corrupt
that
deserves
that
God
should
,
yea
,
and
hath
threatned
that
he
will
forsake
them
.
)
But
to
go
on
,
Bryan
saith
,
Yet
People
should
not
forsake
that
bad
Company
,
till
it
appear
that
God
hath
put
in
execution
that
which
he
justly
threatned
,
we
ought
to
acknowledge
it
,
and
receive
it
as
his
House
,
and
not
refuse
to
dwell
with
him
in
it
,
for
shall
Man
be
Holier
than
God
,
and
hate
C●rruption
more
than
he
?
And
we
may
not
communicate
with
it
,
by
consenting
to
any
Corruptions
that
are
or
shall
be
detected
,
or
proved
to
be
in
it
.
Answ.
To
which
strange
Doctrine
of
this
Bryan
,
to
which
R.
B.
in
his
Epistle
says
,
Amen
;
I
say
,
in
the
first
place
,
it
is
absolute
Blasphemy
against
the
Holy
Name
and
Nature
of
God
,
either
to
say
,
or
imagine
,
that
God
dwells
with
such
a
People
as
are
guilty
of
such
Sins
and
Corruptions
,
as
this
Bryan
here
speaks
of
;
and
how
far
unlike
this
Bryan's
Spirit
is
,
to
the
Spirit
of
the
Prophets
,
who
said
,
God
is
of
purer
Eyes
,
than
to
behold
Iniquity
;
and
your
Sins
have
separated
betwixt
you
and
your
God
:
And
the
Apostle
saith
expresly
,
That
those
that
would
have
God
to
dwell
in
them
(
and
it
's
certain
God
dwells
with
none
,
but
as
he
dwells
in
them
)
they
must
be
separated
,
and
touch
no
unclean
thing
,
2
Cor
6.16
,
17
,
18.
And
doth
the
Lord
command
us
to
come
out
from
amongst
the
Unclean
?
And
will
he
himself
,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
,
dwell
with
the
Unclean
,
yea
,
with
such
as
are
guilty
of
such
Sins
and
Corruptions
,
as
deserve
that
God
should
forsake
them
for
them
;
yea
,
for
which
God
hath
threatned
in
his
Word
,
that
he
will
forsake
them
?
And
certainly
there
can
be
no
Way
,
nor
Means
,
to
stay
or
hinder
the
Execution
of
God's
Judgments
threatned
and
deserved
,
but
by
forsaking
those
Sins
and
Corruptions
which
such
People
are
guilty
of
,
which
the
People
of
England
(
that
this
Bryan
)
would
have
us
,
and
others
,
to
joyn
with
,
are
far
from
;
for
,
O
England
,
England
,
thou
and
thy
Parishes
are
polluted
that
will
not
come
to
Christ
,
that
they
might
have
Life
;
but
persecutes
them
(
with
unreasonableness
,
and
cruel
Usages
)
that
the
Lord
hath
raised
up
,
to
forewarn
thee
of
his
Judgments
:
And
so
thy
House
being
destitute
of
God's
Fear
and
Goodness
,
we
are
not
more
Holy
than
God
,
nor
hate
Corruption
more
than
he
,
in
our
separating
from
thee
,
as
this
wicked
Man
Bryan
would
have
thee
falsly
believe
;
but
in
our
separating
from
thee
,
we
do
the
Lord's
Command
,
and
follow
his
blessed
Example
;
and
so
we
cannot
receive
that
for
God's
House
,
which
he
dwells
not
in
:
And
so
thou
art
a
False
Witness
,
O
Bryan
,
and
a
Blasphemer
of
God
and
his
Tabernacle
;
for
the
Temple
and
Tebernacle
of
God
is
Holy
;
which
Temple
are
his
Holy
Members
and
Body
the
True
Church
;
not
Babylon
,
the
False
,
Sinful
and
Corrupted
Church
,
which
R.
B.
and
Bryan
pleads
for
:
And
if
any
defile
the
Temple
of
God
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
him
will
God
(
not
call
his
House
,
and
Dwelling-place
,
but
)
destroy
,
1
Cor.
3.17
.
Again
,
How
shall
this
gross
Contradiction
,
which
this
twisting
twining
Serpent
makes
,
be
salved
?
For
this
Bryan
one
while
says
,
It
's
to
be
Holier
than
God
,
to
separate
from
such
a
sinful
corrupt
Sort
,
as
deserves
God's
Judgments
:
And
yet
with
the
same
Moutli
saith
,
We
may
not
Communicate
with
them
,
by
consenting
to
any
Corruptions
that
are
,
or
shall
be
detected
,
or
proved
to
be
in
such
a
People
.
What
,
joyn
with
a
manifest
Corrupted
Body
,
whose
very
Prayers
(
by
their
own
Confession
)
are
not
without
Sin
,
and
not
so
much
as
consent
to
any
of
their
Corruptions
?
What
a
Joyning
is
this
,
when
it
must
not
be
a
Joyning
;
no
,
not
so
much
as
in
the
Consent
:
What
gross
dark
Contradiction
is
here
(
and
now
to
bring
this
a
little
home
to
the
business
of
England
)
a
Doctor
(
so
called
)
and
Pleader
for
Conformity
,
and
Communion
with
the
Parish
worshippers
of
England
,
which
are
detected
,
and
manifestly
proved
;
yea
,
and
not
only
by
their
words
,
but
by
their
own
Confession
also
,
to
be
miserable
Offenders
against
God
;
yea
,
so
guilty
,
and
full
of
Sins
and
Corruptions
,
from
the
Crown
of
the
Head
,
to
the
Soles
of
their
Feet
,
as
that
they
have
no
Health
nor
Soundness
at
all
in
them
,
would
have
us
conform
to
them
;
and
yet
he
saith
,
We
may
not
communicate
with
them
,
by
consenting
to
any
of
their
proved
Corruptions
.
Then
I
say
,
If
we
may
not
have
Fellowship
with
them
in
their
Corruptions
,
no
,
not
so
much
as
by
consent
;
then
we
must
not
have
Fellowship
with
them
at
all
,
for
they
and
their
Corruptions
are
one
;
for
saith
Christ
,
Ye
are
of
your
Father
the
Devil
,
for
his
Works
ye
will
do
.
But
saith
Bryan
,
Christ
was
a
Member
of
this
Church
(
as
he
calls
it
)
of
those
wicked
Jews
;
because
he
was
Circumcised
,
and
frequented
the
Temple
,
and
eat
the
Passover
;
than
which
Saying
of
this
Bryan
,
nothing
can
be
more
False
;
for
what
,
though
Christ
was
Circumcised
,
and
went
sometimes
into
the
Temple
,
and
eat
the
Passover
,
which
had
been
Ordinances
of
God
for
their
time
,
and
were
Shadows
of
good
Things
to
come
;
What
is
that
to
prove
Christ
a
Member
of
that
Body
,
whose
House
was
left
unto
them
desolate
,
and
who
were
headed
by
the
Devil
,
which
at
length
put
them
on
to
murder
him
?
O
sad
,
that
ever
People
in
their
love
of
the
World
should
be
so
blind
!
But
what
is
Christ's
conforming
to
the
Shadows
of
the
Law
,
which
God
gave
for
that
time
,
and
by
him
to
be
fulfilled
,
and
so
ended
,
to
your
requiring
us
to
conform
to
you
in
that
,
or
those
Things
which
God
never
ordained
?
as
Sprinkling
of
Infants
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
teaching
for
Doctrine
,
That
you
make
them
thereby
the
Children
of
God
,
Members
of
Christ
,
and
Heirs
of
his
Kingdom
;
and
also
your
giving
David's
Psalms
in
Rhime
and
Meeter
,
to
the
wicked
World
,
to
sing
to
God's
dishonour
:
And
to
hear
a
proud
Man
,
and
covetous
Man
(
who
is
an
Idolater
)
Preach
and
Pray
,
whom
God
never
sent
;
yea
,
and
to
maintain
him
in
his
Sins
,
contrary
to
all
Reason
and
Religion
;
also
how
can
we
conform
to
you
in
your
Corruptions
of
respecting
Persons
,
and
of
having
Mens
Persons
in
Admiration
because
of
Advantage
?
Contrary
to
the
express
Doctrine
of
the
Apostle
,
which
saith
,
James
2.1
,
&c.
Have
not
the
Faith
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
with
respect
of
Persons
:
Yea
,
and
plead
for
their
Transgressions
:
How
can
we
Conform
to
such
,
as
under
the
Name
of
Christians
,
do
live
manifestly
in
the
Sins
of
the
Heathen
;
as
Fornication
,
Covetousness
,
Idolatry
,
Drunkenness
,
and
are
Railers
,
and
Extertioners
,
and
lovers
of
Pleasures
more
than
lovers
of
God
:
from
whom
the
Apostle
bids
us
turn
away
?
2
Tim.
3.
and
1
Cor.
5
11
,
&c.
with
whom
he
forbids
us
to
eat
;
and
yet
with
such
,
both
R.
B.
and
Bryan
,
for
all
their
former
seeming
hypocritical
Zeal
,
would
now
have
us
to
Communicate
,
yet
not
so
much
as
consent
to
their
Corruptions
,
neither
as
their
daubing
contradicting
Doctrine
seems
willing
to
have
.
Then
I
say
,
We
must
neither
have
Fellowship
with
them
in
their
Worship-actions
,
(
as
R.
B.
calls
them
)
nor
in
their
ordinary
Conversation
,
for
all
is
Corrupt
:
For
what
greater
Assent
or
Consent
can
we
give
,
than
by
joyning
with
them
,
or
practising
such
things
openly
:
But
it
's
better
to
obey
God
than
Man
,
both
in
this
and
all
things
;
and
as
the
Lord
said
to
Jeremiah
,
so
in
this
case
hath
he
said
to
us
:
Let
them
return
to
thee
,
but
return
not
thou
to
them
;
for
what
Fellowship
hath
Light
with
Darkness
,
or
the
Temple
of
God
with
Idols
?
And
now
I
come
a
little
to
set
before
you
poor
People
,
who
have
been
deceived
by
such
Men
as
this
R.
B.
and
Bryan
are
,
something
of
the
Answer
they
give
to
the
Arguments
of
the
zealous
People
of
old
(
called
Brownists
)
who
could
not
for
Conscience-sake
conform
to
their
Common-Brayer
,
&c.
Their
Objection
saith
Bryan
,
in
Page
297
of
his
Book
was
this
,
to
wit
,
That
the
People
of
England
were
never
rightly
called
;
for
in
the
beginning
of
the
Queen's
(
to
wit
,
Elizabeth
's
)
Reign
,
they
were
by
her
Command
and
Proclamation
,
compelled
to
embrace
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
to
conform
to
God's
Worship
;
whereas
in
the
New
Testament
we
have
no
Example
of
People
compelled
to
the
Service
of
God
:
Christ
commanding
Fisher
men
to
convert
Souls
by
Preaching
,
not
Princes
to
make
Disciples
by
Compulsion
;
therefore
the
Church
of
Christ
(
England
he
should
have
said
;
for
who
ever
denied
the
Church
of
Christ
)
had
no
right
Constitution
?
But
now
see
the
wretched
Answer
of
this
Bryan
to
the
said
Objection
of
the
old
Non-conformists
.
If
we
speak
(
saith
he
)
of
a
Church
first
planted
;
the
People
of
such
a
Nation
are
first
called
by
the
Word
,
before
they
come
to
be
a
Church
:
But
it
is
not
so
(
saith
he
)
of
a
Country
,
where
for
a
long
time
true
Religion
hath
been
professed
,
which
is
our
case
.
And
as
to
that
part
of
the
Objection
,
That
there
is
no
such
Example
in
the
New
Testament
;
First
,
The
Magistrates
were
then
Enemies
to
the
Christian
Religion
.
Secondly
,
(
saith
he
)
It
sufficeth
that
we
have
Examples
in
the
Old
Testament
,
2
Kings
23.21
.
2
Chron.
15.13
.
and
33.16
.
and
34.33
.
nor
have
(
saith
he
)
.
Christian
Princes
less
Power
in
their
Dominion
to
abolish
Idolatry
,
and
by
Laws
and
Penalties
,
to
compel
their
Subjects
where
there
is
a
Parity
of
Reason
.
And
after
this
,
Bryan
having
wearied
himself
with
setting
down
several
words
,
to
and
against
,
both
what
the
Conformists
said
for
,
and
the
Non-conformists
said
against
,
these
Things
;
he
takes
breath
,
and
says
,
he
returns
to
sati●fie
the
Objection
,
to
wit
,
The
Objection
before
mentioned
about
Separation
,
with
such
words
as
these
,
It
is
not
necessary
and
generally
true
(
saith
he
)
of
all
the
Members
of
the
Visible
Church
,
that
they
be
called
by
the
Word
.
Answ.
To
which
I
answer
on
behalf
of
Truth
:
That
it
is
the
great
Love
,
and
tender
Mercy
,
of
God
to
our
Souls
,
that
he
hath
delivered
us
from
under
such
Men
,
as
this
Bryan
and
R.
B.
are
,
who
know
nothing
as
they
ought
to
know
;
but
professing
themselves
to
be
wise
,
are
become
most
foolish
and
brutish
in
their
Minds
and
Words
,
by
such
false
and
Soul-destroying
Doctrines
as
these
;
affirming
,
That
People
may
be
called
into
the
visible
Church
without
the
Word
;
and
if
one
ask
him
,
If
not
by
the
Word
,
by
what
then
?
His
answer
is
,
by
Sprinkling
,
when
Infants
,
or
for
fear
of
Man
:
But
what
,
are
these
Calls
into
the
Visible
Church
?
A
strange
Church
must
that
needs
be
for
certain
,
where
People
are
called
into
it
without
God's
Word
;
for
certain
it
's
none
of
God's
Church
,
into
which
People
are
called
,
without
his
Word
:
It
's
the
visible
Company
of
such
as
know
not
God
,
thou
shouldst
have
said
:
For
God's
Church
are
the
Faithful
,
and
their
Faith
cometh
by
Hearing
,
and
Hearing
by
the
Word
of
God
,
and
not
without
it
:
But
,
oh
the
Desolation
that
such
Doctrine
as
this
of
Bryan
and
R.
B.
hath
made
amongst
the
poor
People
,
whose
Eyes
are
not
fully
opened
to
see
their
Deceits
.
Also
this
Antichristian
Doctrine
being
laid
as
a
Foundation
in
their
House
,
it
is
no
Wonder
to
hear
this
Bryan
say
,
Page
301.
That
Ignorant
and
Prophane
Persons
have
always
been
in
the
Church
,
and
ever
will
be
,
at
lest
,
till
Christ
comes
the
second
Time
.
But
by
all
these
unsound
,
unchristian
and
ignorant
Sayings
,
it
fully
appears
,
that
this
Bryan
is
one
of
them
who
have
neither
seen
nor
known
Christ
;
seeing
he
would
bring
in
the
Heathen
into
the
Temple
without
the
Word
:
And
so
,
Who
is
more
Ignorant
and
Prophane
than
this
Priest
Bryan
himself
,
as
also
his
Brother
R.
B.
who
is
not
ashamed
to
make
such
a
one
a
Tutor
,
or
Father
of
Ministers
,
who
is
ignorant
of
the
very
Door
and
Entrance
into
the
Church
,
and
of
Christ's
second
Coming
?
Nay
,
who
is
ignorant
of
his
first
Appearance
,
which
was
for
Judgment
,
even
to
whip
the
Buyers
and
Sellers
,
and
all
Prophane
ones
,
out
of
his
House
,
as
he
said
himself
,
For
Judgment
come
I
into
this
World
.
What
Pastors
or
Teachers
can
such
Tutor
,
as
are
so
ignorant
of
Christ's
Kingdom
;
and
so
admit
the
Ignorant
and
Prophane
into
their
Church
,
(
or
Cage
of
unclean
Birds
)
for
the
Church
of
Christ
,
which
is
visibly
seen
,
and
known
by
the
Spiritual
Eye
to
be
his
Body
,
is
Holy
,
and
into
it
can
no
unclean
thing
enter
,
as
saith
the
Scripture
,
Rev.
21.27
.
but
into
the
World's
Church
,
may
both
Ignorant
and
Prophane
enter
and
dwell
:
But
at
such
dishonest
Gain
,
as
is
gotten
by
such
Doctrines
as
this
of
Bryan
and
R.
B.
hath
the
Lord
long
shaken
his
Hand
:
Is
this
your
Ware
that
you
sell
to
the
People
at
so
dear
a
Rate
?
Is
this
your
Straw
and
Stubble
that
you
seed
them
with
?
But
no
Man
of
any
Understanding
in
Heavenly
Matters
,
will
buy
any
more
of
your
Merchandize
.
For
God
is
come
to
teach
his
People
himself
,
and
the
Spirit
of
God
is
felt
and
witnessed
amongst
us
,
praised
be
God
;
yea
,
and
in
our
very
Hearts
to
teach
us
,
and
by
which
we
feel
Christ
come
again
the
second
Time
,
without
Sin
,
to
Salvation
,
according
to
his
Holy
Promises
,
and
by
whose
all-powerful
Word
of
Faith
and
Heavenly
Presence
in
us
,
are
we
joyned
together
unto
him
,
in
one
Holy
Body
;
Glory
to
his
Name
over
all
,
for
he
is
worthy
.
And
for
that
Saying
,
That
Christian
Princes
have
not
less
Power
to
abolish
Idolatry
,
and
by
Law
and
Penalties
,
to
compel
the
Subjects
in
Matters
of
Religion
,
where
there
is
a
parity
of
reason
,
than
the
Jewish
Kings
under
that
Law
had
.
I
answer
and
say
,
That
all
are
not
Christians
who
are
so
called
;
and
this
crying
up
the
Worldly
Magistrates
Power
in
Matters
Spiritual
,
is
the
only
In-let
into
Persecution
of
the
Tender-hearted
People
of
God
,
who
cannot
bow
to
every
thing
the
World
sets
up
;
yea
,
though
it
come
under
the
name
or
shew
of
Christian
Religion
;
and
if
the
Image
be
of
Gold
never
so
goodly
,
yet
wanting
Life
and
Power
they
cannot
bow
to
it
.
I
say
,
They
who
Preach
up
the
Worldly
Princes
,
under
what
Name
soever
,
to
have
Power
over
the
Consciences
of
People
in
Matters
purely
Spiritual
(
as
the
whole
Body
of
Christian
Religion
is
)
are
Antichristian
,
and
the
great
Enemies
of
that
Liberty
which
Christ
hath
purchased
for
his
People
,
and
which
the
Apostles
sealed
unto
with
their
Blood
,
saying
in
such
cases
,
Let
every
Man
be
fully
perswaded
in
his
own
Heart
.
And
who
art
thou
that
judges
(
much
less
forcest
and
compellest
as
Bryan
and
R
B's
Doctrine
would
have
it
)
another
?
to
his
own
Master
(
to
wit
,
God
the
Judge
of
all
)
he
standeth
or
falleth
,
see
Rom.
14.
at
large
;
but
what
account
will
those
Daubers
give
to
the
Lord
,
for
all
the
Innocent
Blood
they
have
caused
to
be
shed
these
many
hundred
Years
?
is
Sad
to
consider
:
For
though
such
Magistrates
as
are
evil
inclined
are
not
free
,
yet
the
False
Teachers
,
who
by
their
Lies
stir
up
,
yea
,
and
bring
forth
that
evil
Inclination
into
real
Actings
against
the
Good
,
shall
receive
the
greater
Condemnation
:
And
yet
notwithstanding
all
the
Evil
,
both
in
the
one
and
in
the
other
,
the
Lord
will
certainly
carry
on
his
great
Work
to
his
own
Praise
,
which
he
hath
begun
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
ever
:
And
the
Beast
,
Whore
and
False
Prophet
,
shall
alive
together
be
cast
into
the
Lake
prepared
for
them
,
and
into
the
Pit
which
they
had
digged
for
others
.
Also
whereas
he
saith
,
That
it
sufficeth
that
we
have
Examples
in
the
Old
Testament
for
the
Magistrates
Power
in
Church
matters
,
though
none
in
the
New
Testament
.
I
say
,
It
is
no
more
true
,
than
if
we
should
reason
for
an
outward
worldly
Temple
,
Sacrifices
,
and
Circumcision
now
,
because
there
is
Examples
of
these
things
in
the
Old
Testament
;
and
for
Revenge
and
Retaliation
now
,
because
it
is
mentioned
in
the
Old
,
contrary
to
Christ
,
For
though
it
hath
been
said
of
old
(
saith
Christ
)
an
Eye
for
an
Eye
,
and
a
Tooth
for
a
Tooth
;
yet
I
say
to
you
,
my
Disciples
,
under
the
New
Covenant
,
If
any
Man
smite
you
on
the
one
Cheek
,
turn
to
him
the
other
;
and
the
Apostle
saith
,
Dearly
beloved
,
avenge
not
your selves
;
butif
thy
Enemy
hunger
,
seed
him
,
&c.
and
so
Christ
being
come
,
and
all
Power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
given
him
;
Is
not
he
in
these
Spiritual
Matters
,
relating
to
the
very
Soul
and
Conscience
,
the
only
Lord
,
Law-giver
and
King
,
and
Supreme
,
and
ought
of
right
to
rule
in
his
own
House
and
Temple
,
which
is
in
Man
,
and
those
that
will
not
that
he
should
Rule
,
must
bow
before
him
,
and
be
ashamed
before
his
Face
.
So
that
now
the
Son
of
God
being
come
,
and
seated
by
right
of
Inheritance
,
the
true
King
and
Heir
upon
David's
Throne
,
to
Rule
in
Righteousness
for
ever
in
the
Hearts
of
his
Children
,
he
commands
the
true
Seed
of
Israel
to
obey
his
Heavenly
Voice
,
Law
and
Doctrine
,
spoken
and
written
within
,
as
those
outward
and
typical
Kings
did
,
command
the
fleshly
Seed
of
Abraham
to
keep
Moses's
Law
,
written
without
;
and
as
those
that
obeyed
not
that
outward
Law
of
Moses
,
were
lyable
to
the
Punishment
of
that
Law
;
so
they
now
that
obey
not
Christ's
Spiritual
Law
,
written
in
the
Heart
and
Conscience
by
his
Holy
Power
,
are
lyable
to
the
Eternal
Judgment
of
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Judge
of
Quick
and
Dead
,
as
he
saith
,
The
Father
judges
no
Man
,
but
hath
committed
all
Judgment
to
the
Son
:
And
as
for
the
worldly
Magistrate
,
he
is
to
Rule
in
outward
things
,
betwixt
Man
and
Man
,
to
see
that
every
one
,
as
to
the
Body
and
outward
Estate
,
be
well
behaved
one
towards
another
,
and
not
to
bear
the
Sword
in
vain
,
as
hath
been
too
much
in
use
,
even
amongst
many
called
Christian
Magistrates
,
as
well
as
others
;
from
whence
it
hath
come
to
pass
,
that
for
the
sake
of
the
Poor
,
whom
the
worldly
Powers
have
oppressed
,
as
well
in
Temporals
as
Spirituals
,
the
Lord
hath
overturned
them
,
one
Sort
after
another
,
as
they
were
found
in
the
Abuse
of
that
Power
and
Trust
which
was
put
into
their
Hands
,
for
the
Protection
of
,
and
Encouragement
and
Praise
of
the
Good
,
and
Punishment
of
the
Evil
doers
;
but
not
the
contrary
,
according
to
that
of
the
Prophet
.
I
will
overturn
,
overturn
,
overturn
,
till
he
come
whose
Right
it
is
:
And
so
until
Truth
,
Righteousness
,
Goodness
,
Equity
and
Justice
rule
,
both
in
the
Hearts
and
Lives
of
the
Children
of
Men
,
there
will
neither
be
Peace
,
nor
Establishment
of
any
good
thing
;
but
as
a
Wheel
will
the
whole
Earth
be
,
from
Generation
to
Generation
,
saith
the
Spirit
,
who
is
the
sweet
Orderer
in
all
things
,
for
the
Holy
Seed's
sake
:
Glory
to
his
Name
for
ever
.
And
so
in
the
Love
and
Kindness
of
the
Lord
God
,
have
I
been
thus
enabled
for
the
Truth
,
and
the
poor
Peoples
sake
,
to
lay
open
something
of
the
Deceits
,
and
gross
Hypocrisie
,
of
these
two
Men
,
called
R.
B.
and
Bryan
,
who
have
long
,
under
a
Cover
or
Vizard
of
Holiness
,
deceived
the
unstable
Souls
of
many
:
But
now
the
Covering
being
rent
off
,
their
Wolfish
Nature
is
fully
manifest
:
Glory
to
the
Lord
,
the
good
Work-man
over
all
for
ever
,
So
be
it

hath
these
words
,
God
Created
the
Souls
of
Men
,
not
only
Capable
of
finding
out
the
Truth
of
things
,
but
furnished
him
with
a
Sufficient
Teacher
to
discover
Truth
from
Falshood
,
by
a
LIGHT
set
up
in
his
Vnderstanding
;
which
,
if
he
had
attended
to
,
he
might
have
secured
himself
from
all
Impostors
and
Deceit
.
And
also
finding
in
his
Principles
,
towards
the
latter
end
of
his
Book
,
such
a
saying
as
this
,
to
wit
,
his
fifth
Priciple
;
There
can
be
no
other
means
Imagined
,
whereby
we
are
to
judge
of
the
Truth
of
Divine
Revelation
,
but
a
faculty
in
us
discerning
Truth
and
Falshood
in
Matters
Proposed
to
our
Vnderstandings
;
which
,
if
we
do
not
Exercise
in
Judging
the
Truth
of
Divine
Revelation
,
we
must
be
imposed
upon
by
every
thing
that
pretends
to
be
so
.
And
in
Article
13.
The
Holy
Scriptures
may
be
understood
Infallibly
by
all
Persons
,
who
sincerely
endeavour
to
know
the
meaning
of
them
,
in
all
such
things
as
are
necessary
for
their
Salvation
.
This
is
the
Scope
of
the
latter
part
of
that
Article
.
And
in
Article
13.
And
there
can
be
no
sufficient
Reason
given
,
why
that
may
not
serve
in
matters
of
Faith
,
which
God
himself
hath
made
use
of
,
as
the
means
,
to
keep
Men
from
Sin
in
their
Lives
,
unless
any
imagine
,
that
Errors
in
Opinion
are
far
more
Dangerous
to
Mens
Souls
than
a
vicious
Life
is
;
and
therefore
that
God
is
bound
to
take
more
Care
to
prevent
the
one
than
the
other
.
And
in
his
Fourth
and
Fifth
Conclusion
,
upon
his
Articles
,
saith
,
The
more
absurd
any
Opinions
are
,
and
Repugnant
to
the
first
Principles
of
Sense
and
Reason
;
which
any
Church
Obtrudes
upon
the
Faith
of
Men
:
The
greater
Reason
Men
still
have
to
reject
the
pretence
of
Infallibility
in
that
Church
,
as
a
grand
Imposture
.
And
so
,
to
disown
what
is
so
Taught
by
such
a
Church
,
is
not
to
question
the
Veracity
of
God
,
but
so
firmly
to
adhere
to
it
;
as
to
what
he
hath
Revealed
in
Scriptures
,
that
Men
dare
not
,
out
of
Love
to
their
Souls
,
reject
what
is
so
taught
.
Yet
finding
this
E.
S.
making
several
Reflections
upon
us
,
whom
the
World
Scorn
,
under
the
Nick
name
of
Quakers
;
I
say
,
us
whom
the
Lord
hath
drawn
out
of
the
many
Waters
of
Mystery
Babylon
,
into
the
Light
of
his
Son
,
that
most
inward
Principle
,
Faculty
,
and
alone
Ability
in
Man
,
to
try
all
Doctrines
and
Works
by
;
I
could
not
but
thus
write
something
to
him
,
that
he
might
see
his
Mistake
of
us
,
and
not
lose
his
Reward
of
standing
against
Romish
Delusions
,
by
withstanding
or
Speaking
against
the
Truth
of
God
,
made
manifest
to
us
in
our
Hearts
,
and
Shining
forth
in
our
Lives
,
to
the
Praise
of
his
Glory
,
and
the
Good
of
all
who
do
rightly
understand
us
,
and
receive
our
Testimony
;
I
say
,
that
if
possible
he
may
understand
a
little
,
and
feel
of
that
inward
Principle
,
or
Faculty
(
as
he
calls
it
)
which
he
is
aiming
at
,
and
which
,
he
saith
,
must
be
antecedently
supposed
(
viz.
necessarily
)
to
all
Divine
Revelation
,
are
these
things
writ
.
Now
that
part
of
his
Book
,
where
he
some-what
smites
at
us
;
is
,
that
where
he
Treats
of
the
Fanaticism
of
the
Roman
Church
:
As
one
may
see
Page
249.
where
he
says
,
Who
will
not
take
pains
to
see
how
Faithfully
I
have
Translated
these
Words
out
of
Eymericus
,
would
imagine
I
have
borrowed
some
of
the
canting
Language
of
the
Modern
Quakers
.
Look
*
where
he
goes
on
.
Now
,
What
is
this
some
of
this
canting
Language
?
That
part
of
Petrus
Johannis's
Relation
of
St.
Francis
(
as
he
calls
him
)
runs
thus
.
That
those
who
Opposed
this
Order
(
to
wit
,
of
that
Francis
)
were
the
Carnal
Persecuting
Clergy
,
in
whom
the
Seat
of
the
Beast
is
much
more
than
in
the
People
;
that
in
the
time
of
the
Mystical
Antichrist
,
the
Carnal
Church
shall
oppose
the
Doctrine
,
Life
and
Zeal
of
the
Saints
,
and
burn
as
it
were
with
Fire
against
them
;
but
it
shall
be
dried
up
from
all
Spiritual
Wisdom
,
and
Grace
,
and
the
Riches
of
Christ
;
and
be
Exposed
to
Errors
and
Delusion
,
and
as
it
was
with
the
Jews
and
Greeks
.
Thus
far
there
.
To
which
I
Answer
,
What
is
this
kind
of
Language
Canting
,
where
it
is
truly
applied
in
any
Age
;
dost
not
thou
,
Edward
Stillingfleet
,
believe
that
there
both
was
,
and
is
a
Carnal
Church
,
that
did
and
doth
oppose
the
Doctrine
,
Life
and
Zeal
of
the
Saints
,
&c.
as
is
there
s●t
down
.
To
let
Francis
and
his
Applauders
alone
,
we
know
both
the
Holy
Prophets
and
Apostles
of
Jesus
Christ
mentioned
in
Scripture
;
as
also
Christ
himself
did
vehemently
Cry
against
a
Carnal
Church
,
or
Fleshly
Company
of
Professors
in
those
days
;
for
he
that
was
born
after
the
Flesh
did
always
Persecute
him
that
was
born
after
the
Spirit
,
both
before
,
and
in
the
Apostles
Days
.
And
so
it
hath
been
since
,
no
question
,
all
along
downwards
;
and
as
we
for
certain
find
it
so
in
these
our
days
,
not
only
by
the
Papists
,
but
even
amongst
them
called
Protestants
also
:
And
was
those
many
Sharp
Reproofs
,
and
large
Discoveries
of
the
False
Teachers
in
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
time
Canting
.
O
Man
!
take
heed
,
thou
knows
not
what
thou
dost
,
when
thou
judges
our
Witness
against
the
False
Teachers
,
and
Carnal
Professors
of
this
Age
no
better
than
Canting
:
But
certainly
,
though
some
of
you
may
put
it
off
at
present
,
as
a
light
thing
,
and
look
at
it
Scornfully
,
as
no
better
than
Canting
;
as
they
did
,
who
said
,
He
is
Mad
,
and
hath
a
Devil
,
why
hear
ye
him
;
but
the
time
will
come
when
it
will
be
otherwise
,
even
then
when
the
Books
are
opened
,
and
every
one
receives
a
Reward
according
to
their
Deeds
.
It
is
strange
,
this
Doctor
,
who
seems
to
be
so
much
Read
,
should
Read
our
Principles
no
better
,
and
pretending
to
so
much
Wisdom
,
if
he
have
Read
our
Books
,
that
he
should
no
better
understand
us
,
than
to
compare
us
to
such
as
him
,
called
St.
Francis
,
Ignatius
Loyola
;
or
the
Upholders
of
that
Rotten
and
Superstitious
Kingdom
of
Popery
:
But
we
are
not
greater
than
our
Lord
,
who
was
Crucified
between
the
Thieves
,
and
of
whom
they
said
,
he
is
a
Samaritan
,
and
a
Friend
of
Publicans
and
Sinners
:
But
Wisdom
is
justified
of
her
Children
;
Praised
be
God
,
though
others
,
who
are
not
some
of
the
Heavenly
Wisdom
,
speak
ever
so
ill
of
it
.
Also
this
Edward
Stilling
fleet
,
Page
252.
of
his
Book
,
saith
,
Their
Doctrines
(
to
wit
,
those
of
Francis's
Order
it
seems
)
may
be
Reduced
to
these
Four
Heads
;
First
,
Evangelical
Poverty
.
Secondly
,
Unlawfulness
of
Swearing
.
Thirdly
,
The
Doctrine
of
Perfection
.
Fourthly
,
Opposition
to
the
Carnal
Church
:
Which
,
being
joyned
with
that
great
Degree
of
Light
,
which
they
supposed
themselves
to
have
above
all
the
rest
of
the
World
,
makes
a
Sect
of
Quakers
,
after
the
Order
of
St.
Francis
.
Now
to
this
I
say
,
That
if
such
Doctrines
as
these
,
not
in
Francis
,
or
Petrus
Johannis's
Sence
,
but
in
the
Truth
of
the
thing
,
be
plainly
found
Asserted
and
Exhorted
unto
in
Scripture
by
Christ
and
his
Apostles
,
then
I
hope
they
,
who
Revile
us
for
such
things
,
do
not
do
it
to
us
only
,
but
even
to
Truth
it self
,
and
must
be
accountable
to
him
in
Judgment
for
it
:
As
for
the
Order
of
Francis
,
and
Dominicus
,
and
Benedict
,
and
Jesuits
,
or
what
other
of
Popish
Sects
there
be
,
through
the
Grace
of
Christ
we
are
,
taught
to
deny
them
all
,
together
with
all
those
Orders
amongst
them
,
called
Protestants
,
which
would
make
the
Seamless
Coat
of
Christ
of
many
Pieces
,
and
so
spoil
all
,
for
Christ's
Body
is
one
,
the
chosen
Ones
of
God
,
precious
to
him
.
And
of
his
Heavenly
●ody
,
it
is
our
Glory
and
our
Crown
to
he
found
Members
;
and
our
Faith
being
builded
upon
the
Living
Rock
,
Christ
Jesus
,
in
Deed
and
Truth
,
we
know
the
Gates
of
Hell
cannot
prevail
against
it
:
But
what
art
thou
against
true
Gospel
Poverty
,
and
Perfection
,
and
Light
;
and
such
a
Friend
to
Swearing
,
and
the
Carnal
Church
,
that
those
now
amongst
us
that
hold
the
one
,
and
deny
the
other
,
must
be
holden
no
less
than
Papists
for
it
:
Our
Judgment
of
these
things
it
generally
known
,
and
of
the
Lord
Jesus
allowed
,
and
that
's
our
Peace
;
and
so
in
particular
at
present
,
I
speak
not
much
,
but
only
gladly
would
let
E.
S.
see
how
he
hath
wronged
himself
,
by
numbring
us
with
he
knows
not
whom
;
but
however
Reported
to
him
,
(
if
as
the
Vilest
amongst
the
Vile
)
it
were
this
Author's
Wisdom
to
weigh
his
words
better
,
and
be
more
solid
for
time
to
come
.
Also
I
take
notice
of
one
saying
of
this
Authors
,
in
Page
256.
where
he
saith
,
(
that
some
Phanatick
Papists
held
)
amongst
other
things
,
That
every
Intellectual
Being
(
doth
he
not
mean
Man's
Soul
)
hath
enough
within
it self
to
make
it
happy
,
or
(
saith
he
)
a
Light
within
.
These
words
[
or
a
Light
within
]
seem
to
be
put
in
on
purpose
,
that
People
may
take
notice
whom
he
would
have
them
believe
they
resemble
:
But
it
seems
somewhat
strange
,
that
this
Man
should
any
ways
speak
slightly
of
our
Testimony
to
the
Light
of
Christ
in
Man
,
seeing
he
hath
Confessed
so
much
as
is
before
set
down
in
his
Principles
of
an
inward
Law
,
necessarily
Antecedent
to
all
Divine
Revelation
,
as
the
Judge
thereof
in
Man
.
And
is
not
that
inward
Law
,
the
Light
of
God
and
Christ
in
Man
:
For
what
other
Light
can
judge
aright
of
Divine
Revelation
?
O
how
often
is
this
to
be
found
true
amongst
Men
,
that
they
will
seem
in
words
to
confess
to
that
which
indeed
they
are
against
;
for
want
of
a
true
understanding
of
their
own
words
?
And
whereas
he
mentions
Christ's
being
Spiritually
Crucified
in
some
that
suffered
in
the
next
Page
,
as
such
a
one
relates
:
Whatsoever
the
thing
was
to
them
,
surely
the
Expression
is
not
Canting
;
for
Christ
said
to
Saul
,
Why
Persecutes
thou
me
?
And
some
are
said
to
Crucifie
Christ
afresh
to
themselves
;
and
the
Witnesses
lay
slain
in
the
Streets
of
the
great
City
,
which
Spiritually
is
called
Sodom
and
Egypt
,
where
our
Lord
was
Crucified
,
which
he
that
hath
an
Ear
may
hear
.
But
indeed
Spiritual
Expressions
could
never
be
relished
by
the
Unspiritual
Mind
.

of
one
Ignatius
Loyola
,
That
it
's

That
it

Custom
not
to
give
Men
any
Titles
of

to
call

by
their
Common
Names

,
he
preached
to
the
People
with
great
Zeal
,
who
now
flock
in
great
numbers
to
him
;
and
gloried
as
much
in
his
Sufferings
,
and
talked
at
the
same
rate
that
the
Ringleaders
of
the
Quakers
are
wont
to
do
among
us
,
and
just
with
the
same
resolution
;
for
when
the
rest
of
the
Prisoners
made
an
escape
through
the
Negligence
of
the
Keepers
,
Ignatius
and
his
Companions
would
not
stir
;
when
they
were
called
to
Answer
,
Ignatius
preached
at
large
upon
several
Points
of
Divinity
to
them
,
under
pretence
of
answering
Questions
.
And
saith
,
They
preached
in
the
Streets
and
Market-places
,
and
on
Bulks
of
Shops
for
their
Pulpits
;
and
though
few
understood
them
,
being
Strangers
,
yet
all
admired
and
commended
them
;
and
no
doubt
,
faith
this
Author
,
they
Converted
many
,
as
their
Followers
have
done
,
from
the
use
of
Laces
and
Ribbands
.
I
answer
,
then
surely
this
is
more
than
the
Popish
Parish-priests
then
did
,
or
Protestant
Priests
now
do
.
And

,
And
now
let
the
World
judge
,
whether
there
hath
appeared
a
greater
Enthusiast
,
or
Pretender
to
Revelations
,
than
Ignatius
was
,
since
the
Days
of
Mahomet
and
St.
Francis
?
Methinks
they
might
be
ashamed
to
upbraid
us
with
the
Phanaticism
of
the
Quakers
,
and
such
Persons
,
the
Chiefest
of
whom
fall
very
much
short
of
Ignatius
,
in
those
very
things
for
which
they
are
Condemn'd
by
us
,
yet
any
who
compares
them
,
would
imagine
the
Life
of
Ignatius
had
been
their
great
Exemplar
:
I
know
not
whether
any
of
that
Innocent
and
Religious
Order
of
the
Jesuits
,
had
any
hand
in
forming
this
New
Society
among
us
,
as
hath
been
frequently
suggested
.

But
if
one
may
guess
the
Father
by
the
Child's
likeness
,
Ignatius
Loyola
,
the
Founder
of
the
Jesuits
,
was
at
least
the
Grandfather
of
the
Quakers
.
He
goes
on
,
saying
,
That
as
Vasthi
the
Queen
being
cast
off
from
the
Kingdom
and
Marriage
of
Ahashuerus
,
the
humble
Esther
was
chosen
to
succeed
in
her
place
;
and
the
King
made
a
great
Feast
to
his
Princes
and
Servants
,
so
in
this
last
state
of
the
Church
,
the
Adulterous
Babylon
,
the
Carnal
Church
being
rejected
,
the
Spiritual
Church
must
be
exalted
,
and
a
great
Spiritual
Feast
be
kept
to
Celebrate
these
Nuptials
with
:
That
under
the
Mystical
Antichrist
there
shall
be
Overturnings
and
Commotions
,
by
which
the
Carnal
Church
shall
be
terribly
stirred
up
and
moved
against
the
Evangelical
Spirit
of
Christ
,
but
that
the
Whore
of
Babylon
,
the
Carnal
Church
,
shall
fall
,
in
which
time
the
Saints
shall
preach
,
saying
,
From
this
time
it
is
no
longer
the
Church
of
Christ
,
but
the
Synagogue
of
Satan
,
and
the
Habitation
of
Devils
,
which
before
said
in
the
Pride
of
her
Heart
,
I
sit
as
a
Queen
in
great
Honour
and
Glory
,
I
Rule
over
my
Kingdom
,
I
sit
at
ease
,
I
am
no
Widow
,
i.
e.
I
have
Bishops
and
Kings
on
my
side
:
That
the
Roman
Church
is
that
Great
Whore
spoken
of
in
the
Revelations
,
which
hath
committed
Fornication
with
this
World
,
having
departed
from
the
Worship
,
and
sincere
Love
and
Delights
of
Christ
her
Spouse
,
and
embraced
the
World
,
the
Riches
and
Pleasures
of
it
,
and
the
Devil
,
and
Kings
,
and
Princes
,
and
Prelates
,
and
all
the
Lovers
of
this

telling
of
some
Romish
Phanaticks
,
says
,
Did
not
they
deliver
this
for
their
Doctrine
,
that
Men
ought
to
harken
to
the
immediate
Impulses
of
the
Spirit
of
God
within
them
;
and
that
now
God
doth
acquaint
his
own
People
with
his
Mind
and
Will
in
a
way
peculiar
to
themselves
.
And
says
afterwards
,
That
our
Enthusiasts
do
not
boast
of
so
many
Raptures
,
Visions
and
Revelations
,
as
those
of
the
Church
of
Rome
have
done
.
Now
to
this
I
say
,
that
when
any
of
those
that
pretend
to
be
Head
of
the
Protestant
Church
,
are
come
to
such
a
pass
and
measure
of
Darkness
,
as
that
they
cannot
allow
that
Christians
ought
to
harken
to
the
immediate
Impulses
of
the
Spirit
of
God
within
them
,
or
that
now
God
doth
acquaint
his
own
People
,
&c.
I
say
it
is
sad
,
and
the
Times
may
well
be
said
to
be
perilous
indeed
.
What!
Doth
either
the
Scripture
without
,
or
the
inward
Faculty
,
which
thou
says
must
be
Antecedent
to
all
Divine
Revelation
,
Dictate
to
thee
,
that
these
Sayings
are
Phanatical
?
What!
Are
not
the
Children
of
God
led
by
the
Spirit
of
God
which
is
in
them
?
And
must
they
not
harken
to
the
Doctrine
and
Movings
of
their
Teacher
and
Leader
?
And
doth
not
Christ
say
,
to
you
,
to
wit
,
my
peculiar
People
and
Disciples
,
it
is
given
to
know
the
Mystery
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
but
to
others
it
is
not
given
,
to
wit
,
to
those
that
are
without
,
that
follow
their
Wisdom
,
and
not
Christ's
Spirit
:
But
both
the
Carnal
Church
of
Papists
and
Protestants
deny
to
harken
to
the
inward
Movings
or
Impulses
,
as
are
here
called
,
of
God's
Spirit
,
that
they
may
Establish
their
own
Traditions
,
some
in
one
way
,
some
in
another
,
but
all
in
vain
;
for
the
Lamb
shall
have
the
Victory
,
and
a
little
Child
shall
lead
them
,
and
the
Meek
shall
increase
their
Joy
in
the
Lord
;
and
he
,
the
Lord
,
whom
the
World
despises
,
shall
lead
them
by
the
Fountain
of
Living
Water
.
But
let
me
ask
this
Doctor
this
Serious
Question
,
whether
he
accounts
that
part
of
Romish
Phanaticism
here
set
down
,
or
the
Common
Tenets
of
them
called
the
Orthodox
among
them
,
the
better
Doctrine
?
Surely
of
the
Two
,
this
he
calls
Phanaticism
is
the
more
favoured
by
Scripture
,
and
so
consequently
the
more
Orthodox
;
and
may
I
not
say
,
the
more
Protestant
too
?
For
the
first
Reformers
pretended
to
take
Scripture
for
their
Rule
,
though
in
many
things
they
missed
it
sadly
.
And
are
not
we
that
go
amongst
them
under
the
Name
of
Quakers
,
counted
Phanaticks
at
this
Day
from
this
very
ground
,
because
we
Preach
Scripture
Doctrine
,
and
Speak
Scripture
Language
at
this
Day
?
As
for
instance
,
because
we
say
,
Christ
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
according
to
John
1.9
.
And
because
we
say
,
this
Light
,
or
Grace
,
and
Truth
of
God
,
which
hath
appeared
unto
all
Men
,
is
the
Saints
Teacher
,
and
would
be
a
sufficient
Teacher
and
Leader
into
Life
to
all
Men
,
if
they
did
not
resist
it
,
and
rebel
against
the
Motions
of
it
:
And
because
we
say
,
that
the
Saints
who
are
in
this
Anointing
of
the
Holy
One
,
know
all
things
(
necessary
to
Salvation
)
according
to
1
John
2.
And
because
we
say
,
that
People
ought
not
to
have
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
with
respect
of
Persons
,
but
such
as
respect
Persons
commit
Sin
,
according
to
Lev.
19.15
.
And
because
we
say
,
the
Work
of
the
true
Ministry
is
for
perfecting
the
Body
of
Christ
,
Eph.
4.
And
the
false
Ministry
perfects
nothing
,
but
keeps
People
always
Learning
,
and
never
brings
them
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
And
because
we
say
,
thee
and
thou
to
a
particular
Person
,
according
to
Scripture
;
I
say
,
for
these
and
many
the
like
Doctrines
,
doth
the
present
evil
World
of
Papists
and
Protestants
,
Professors
and
Prophane
,
hate
us
,
and
deride
us
,
and
persecute
us
to
their
own
shame
,
who
would
be
accounted
Owners
of
Scripture
.

The
Day
is
Dawned
that
makes
all
Wickedness
manifest
.
FOR
now
,
even
now
,
the
Day
is
Dawned
,
which
makes
all
things
manifest
,
Praises
to
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
and
now
no
Worker
of
Iniquity
can
be
hid
any
more
;
for
now
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
fills
the
Earth
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
God
covers
the
Earth
,
as
the
Waters
do
the
Sea
:
And
now
the
pure
Truth
of
the
Ever-living
God
hath
lift
up
its
Head
above
all
the
Clouds
and
Floods
of
Error
,
and
over
all
the
Mists
and
Fogs
of
the
dark
perishing
World
:
Glory
to
the
God
of
Truth
,
our
Life
and
Light
this
Day
,
who
is
appeared
in
the
Riches
of
his
Bounty
,
to
gather
our
Souls
to
himself
,
and
to
unite
our
very
Hearts
and
Souls
unto
him
in
the
Covenant
of
his
Life
and
Love
,
never
to
be
broken
nor
forgot
.
And
now
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
come
indeed
to
the
Believers
in
the
Light
,
according
to
the
Promise
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Saints
Prayer
,
into
which
no
unclean
thing
can
enter
;
but
the
unbelieving
World
stand
without
wondring
,
despising
and
perishing
in
their
manifold
Opposition
to
the
Truth
,
and
Light
of
this
Day
of
God
,
the
true
God
over
all
,
Blessed
for
Evermore
.
And
now
all
those
who
will
not
take
Warning
by
the
harms
of
such
Gainsayers
of
the
Light
,
as
are
gone
before
them
,
will
fall
with
a
double
Destruction
,
because
they
would
not
apply
their
Hearts
to
that
pure
Wisdom
that
comes
so
plentifully
from
God
,
in
the
Light
of
his
Son
this
Day
,
to
learn
his
fear
therein
,
but
take
more
pleasure
in
the
Works
of
their
own
deceived
Hearts
and
unclean
Hands
,
than
in
the
pure
Law
,
and
Handy-work
of
the
Ever-living
Blessed
Lord
God
,
that
gives
Life
,
and
Breath
,
and
all
things
,
who
is
this
Day
indeed
exalting
the
Kingdom
of
his
own
Son
over
all
,
to
whom
every
Knee
shall
how
,
and
every
Tongue
confess
,
for
he
is
worthy
.
The
Springs
of
Life
gush
out
apace
from
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
into
the
Hearts
of
the
Righteous
,
and
Righteousness
runs
down
like
a
Stream
,
through
the
Valleys
of
Israel
,
to
bring
forth
the
Heavenly
Fruits
of
Righteousness
,
to
the
Glory
and
Praise
of
the
Great
and
Good
Husbandman
,
who
is
over
all
God
Blessed
for
Ever
,
of
whose
Holy
Reign
,
Kingdom
and
Government
there
never
shall
be
end
.
But
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
and
all
Antichrists
,
there
shall
be
an
utter
end
,
and
Death
and
Hell
shall
be
cast
into
the
Lake
of
Fire
,
and
the
Judgment
of
the
Living
and
Everlasting
Truth
of
our
Heavenly
Father
shall
go
forth
more
and
more
for
the
discovering
and
consuming
the
false
Hope
,
and
lying
Refuges
of
all
Hypocrites
,
who
have
covered
themselves
,
and
not
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
;
the
Zeal
of
the
Lord
of
Life
will
perform
this
,
that
his
Name
over
all
may
be
exalted
,
who
is
worthy
;
whose
Appearance
in
Glory
this
Day
the
Children
of
the
Night
have
greatly
withstood
;
and
the
Dragon
hath
made
great
War
against
the
Lamb
,
but
praised
be
the
Lord
the
Lamb
hath
got
the
Victory
,
and
the
Lamb's
Followers
are
this
Day
with
their
Feet
upon
the
Holy
Mountain
,
where
none
can
make
them
afraid
,
rejoicing
in
this
,
that
they
have
found
the
Lord
whom
their
Souls
loved
,
and
do
love
for
Evermore
.
So
be
it
.

To

of
T.
Hicks's
Friends

YE
Hicks's
Hearers
of
Tixall-hall
,
and
elsewhere
,
who
Read
his
Defiled
and
Defiling
Book
,
called
,
A
Dialogue
between
a
Christian
and
a
Quaker
;
Fear
the
Lord
God
of
Heaven
and
Earth
;
for
I
do
affirm
in
the
Truth
of
Christ
,
that
it
is
a
meer
Work
and
Invention
of
the
Wicked
One
,
in
that
Servant
of
his
,
called
T.
Hicks
,
who
goes
under
the
Name
and
Profession
of
an
Anabaptist
,
as
they
are
termed
;
I
say
,
this
Man
was
put
on
by
the
Wicked
One
,
who
is
called
the
Devil
and
Satan
,
who
was
a
Lier
and
False
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
of
Christ
from
the
beginning
,
to
Render
us
,
the
Servants
of
the
Lord
,
called
Quakers
,
Odious
to
the
World
:
For
the
very
first
Words
and
Title
of
his
Book
is
an
absolute
Lie
,
for
never
was
there
such
a
Dialogue
between
a
Christian
and
a
Quaker
;
but
it
is
a
meer
Fiction
of
his
own
naughty
Heart
and
Head
,
for
Rendring
us
,
and
the
Truth
we
hold
,
Odious
;
and
it
is
a
False
and
Wicked
Representation
of
us
,
and
our
Religion
,
to
the
World
;
for
the
which
God
will
severely
Judge
him
:
And
indeed
,
by
this
manner
of
way
that
he
takes
,
who
or
what
kind
of
Profession
is
there
that
he
can
miss
grosly
to
abuse
:
Seeing
he
takes
upon
him
,
like
a
Prevaricator
or
Stage-player
,
both
to
ask
the
Question
,
and
give
the
Answer
;
so
as
may
serve
most
for
his
own
wicked
End
and
Purpose
,
and
make
his
Opposite
infamous
.
O
the
Wickedness
of
such
Actors
,
and
their
Work
;
but
Praised
be
the
Lord
,
we
are
out
of
the
reach
of
his
Malice
;
for
under
the
Holy
Wing
of
God's
Power
and
Protection
are
our
Souls
gathered
by
the
Eternal
Power
of
his
Living
Word
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord
:
And
you
that
Read
this
Book
,
whether
called
Papists
or
Protestants
,
if
this
Hicks
had
a
Mind
to
Render
you
Odious
,
could
he
not
this
way
he
takes
,
do
it
as
Plausibly
as
against
us
;
and
so
I
would
not
have
you
hurt
your selves
,
so
as
to
strengthen
your selves
against
us
and
the
Truth
,
which
we
Live
in
,
by
such
bad
Books
and
Endeavours
,
as
this
Hicks
hath
come
forth
in
;
for
if
that
your
Minds
stand
open
to
receive
them
,
you
will
never
want
them
;
for
the
Enemy
of
your
Souls
and
ours
,
yea
,
of
all
Mankind
,
will
never
be
wanting
to
furnish
you
with
Lies
for
Strengthening
his
Kingdom
in
you
,
and
hindering
you
from
entring
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
And
if
you
would
know
the
Reason
of
his
thus
rising
up
against
us
,
I
say
it
is
,
because
through
the
Grace
of
God
given
us
,
we
Preach
the
Mystery
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
even
the
Wisdom
of
God
in
a
Mystery
,
as
Scripture
speaks
:
And
that
Striking
at
his
carnal
Conceptions
of
things
,
and
his
Idolatrous
Thoughts
of
outward
Water-Baptism
,
hath
stirred
up
the
Venom
in
him
;
which
,
by
this
his
Book
,
he
hath
Vented
;
but
the
Lord
is
the
Pleader
of
his
People's
Cause
,
which
is
our
Joy
and
our
Armour
against
all
the
fiery
Darts
of
all
wicked
Ones
;
for
the
Birth
,
Life
,
Death
,
Resurrection
,
Ascention
;
Glorification
of
Christ
,
and
his
Coming
again
to
us
,
according
to
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
and
Heavenly
Promises
,
through
the
Power
of
God
,
to
our
Souls
Eternal
Salvation
and
Comfort
,
we
Witness
Glory
to
the
Lord
for
ever
;
whatsoever
this
Book
,
or
any
thing
of
like
nature
can
,
or
may
say
to
the
contrary
;
so
as
Christ
said
to
one
of
our
Brethren
in
times
past
,
The
Gates
of
Hell
shall
not
prevail
against
us
:
And
so
in
the
Peaceable
Habitation
of
the
Love
of
God
in
Christ
Jesus
do
we
lye
down
together
,
with
all
Holy
Souls
and
Spirits
of
Just
Men
made
Perfect
;
Hallelujah
,
for
the
Lord
God
Omnipotent
Reigneth
in
Mount
Zion
,
and
before
his
Ancients
Gloriously
:
And
so
let
the
Mouth
of
all
Iniquity
be
stopped
for
ever
,
saith
my
Soul
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
Something
concerning
that
called
the
Common-Prayer
.
AND
Now
all
People
,
that
you
may
see
we
do
not
without
cause
Cry
against
the
Priests
,
and
deny
to
joyn
with
them
in
the
present
Common
Service
,
now
in
use
amongst
the
Parish
Teachers
of
England
;
which
you
are
enjoyned
upon
several
Penalties
to
submit
unto
,
I
shall
in
the
strength
of
Truth
unbowel
it
a
little
unto
you
,
that
you
may
at
least
in
part
see
the
true
inside
of
it
,
and
not
be
deceived
with
the
outward
Appearance
any
longer
;
for
the
Lord
is
arisen
in
his
mighty
Glorious
Power
,
to
scatter
all
those
Clouds
of
Ignorance
and
Error
that
have
long
vailed
and
covered
the
Minds
of
People
,
and
to
be
himself
the
Teacher
of
his
People
how
to
Worship
him
:
For
his
Spirit
is
greatly
burdened
with
the
Manners
of
the
People
,
who
take
his
Name
so
continually
in
vain
;
as
such
do
as
are
only
Confessors
of
their
Sins
,
but
never
forsake
them
,
but
all
their
Lives
long
doing
what
they
should
not
do
;
and
so
instead
of
lessening
their
Sins
,
are
daily
adding
Sin
to
Sin
,
covering
with
a
vain
,
verbal
,
unfeeling
Confession
of
Sin
,
but
not
with
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord.
And
so
in
the
very
entrance
into
their
Work
,
their
Foundation
is
seen
,
for
they
manifest
themselves
not
to
be
in
the
New
Covenant
of
the
Spirit
of
the
God
of
Life
,
but
in
the
Old
Covenant
of
the
Letter
;
saying
,
The
Scripture
moves
them
to
confess
their
manifold
Sins
and
Trespasses
:
But
when
will
it
be
seen
that
the
Scripture
moves
them
to
forsake
them
;
for
a
Confession
of
Sin
in
Words
we
hear
amongst
them
,
but
the
time
of
forsaking
them
never
,
as
yet
,
come
to
be
seen
:
For
what
one
Sin
,
O
ye
People
,
Teacher
or
Hearer
,
that
you
were
guilty
of
Seven
or
more
Years
since
,
is
there
,
which
you
are
not
actually
in
at
this
Day
;
he
that
was
Drunken
,
or
Proud
,
or
Covetous
,
or
Lustful
,
or
Pleasurable
,
or
Unjust
,
or
the
like
,
in
times
past
,
is
found
so
still
;
no
Amendment
,
no
Washing
of
Sin
away
by
all
your
Doings
from
amongst
you
;
for
indeed
,
Words
and
outside
Performances
could
never
do
away
Sin
.
And
so
in
vain
is
your
Worship
whilst
your
Fear
is
taught
by
the
Traditions
of
Men
,
and
not
by
the
Power
of
the
Spirit
of
God
according
to
Scripture
,
for
the
Kingdom
of
God
stands
not
in
Words
,
but
in
Power
;
And
the
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
Worship
in
the
newness
of
the
Spirit
,
and
not
in
the
oldness
of
the
Letter
;
For
he
that
doth
Righteousness
is
born
of
God
,
but
he
that
committeth
Sin
is
of
the
Devil
;
both
Christ
and
his
Apostle
John
being
Witnesses
;
see
John
8.44
.
and
1
Epistle
of
John
,
Chap.
3.
and
Verses
6
,
7
,
8
,
&c.
And
so
for
the
Words
of
that
called
the
Absolution
,
which
follows
,
wherewith
the
deceitful
Priest
would
doub
himself
and
you
over
;
I
declare
for
the
Lord
,
they
are
no
〈◊〉
fit
to
either
of
you
,
whilst
you
continue
in
your
Sins
,
as
it
's
manifest
o●
do
;
yea
,
those
very
Words
in
that
same
Absolution
,
where
it
is
said
,
He
Pardoneth
and
Absolveth
all
such
(
and
I
may
add
,
none
but
such
)
as
do
truly
repent
and
unfeignedly
believe
his
holy
Gospel
;
shuts
you
all
out
from
the
Benefit
of
God's
Absolution
and
Pardon
:
For
such
as
truly
repent
and
unfeignedly
believe
the
Gospel
,
are
healed
of
the
Sickness
of
Sin
,
and
so
have
Health
and
Soundness
in
them
,
and
are
not
Miserable
Offenders
,
as
you
are
;
but
blessed
Believers
,
yea
,
a
chosen
Generation
,
born
of
God
,
as
Scripture
saith
,
John
1.13
.
And
he
that
's
born
of
God
,
Sinneth
not
,
for
his
Seed
remaineth
in
him
,
and
he
cannot
Sin
,
because
he
is
born
of
God
,
1
John
3.9
.
Then
certainly
such
Holy
Ones
as
these
,
Live
not
in
a
Continual
Breach
of
God's
Commandments
,
as
you
do
.
And
so
for
the
Lord's
Prayer
,
it
belongs
not
to
you
,
whilst
you
continue
doing
the
Deeds
of
the
Wicked
One
;
for
it
was
taught
the
Disciples
and
Followers
of
Christ
,
who
had
God
indeed
for
their
Heavenly
Father
,
because
they
were
really
Born
of
him
,
even
of
the
Immortal
and
Incorruptible
Seed
of
his
Living
Word
,
which
abode
in
them
,
and
they
in
it
,
and
so
were
Disciples
indeed
:
But
alack
for
you
,
who
instead
of
forgiving
,
as
you
would
be
forgiven
,
are
seeking
your
own
Revenges
,
and
are
learning
of
the
Men
of
this
World
,
who
know
not
God
,
nor
his
Kingdom
,
no
nor
so
much
as
the
Door
,
nor
entrance
into
it
:
For
the
Heavenly
Kingdom
is
still
uncome
to
such
as
believe
not
in
the
Light
,
which
Christ
the
Door
hath
Inlightned
them
withal
;
but
love
Darkness
more
than
Light
,
because
their
Deeds
are
evil
.
For
such
as
love
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
,
and
are
Proud
and
Covetous
,
and
live
in
the
daily
Breach
of
God's
Commandments
,
could
never
love
the
Light
,
nor
bring
their
Deeds
to
be
tryed
by
it
,
because
it
is
an
Everlasting
Reprover
of
all
such
:
And
therefore
saith
Christ
,
the
true
Light
,
Therefore
doth
the
World
hate
me
,
because
I
witness
against
their
Deeds
,
that
they
are
Evil.
And
so
your
most
Hypocritical
Proceeding
to
say
,
O
Lord
open
thou
our
Lips
,
and
our
Mouth
shall
shew
forth
thy
Praise
;
shews
plainly
you
heed
not
what
you
do
;
for
both
the
Priest
and
you
have
opened
your
.
Sinful
Lips
times
without
number
,
without
God's
Spirit
of
Regeneration
opening
them
,
for
that
as
yet
you
never
waited
for
;
and
therefore
your
Sinful
Mouth
could
not
,
nor
cannot
shew
forth
God's
Praise
,
for
the
Dead
Praise
him
not
:
For
it
's
only
such
as
Live
in
Christ
,
as
the
Saints
do
,
not
in
Sin
,
as
you
do
,
that
Praises
him
;
Glory
to
his
Name
,
that
hath
Abolished
Death
from
amongst
his
People
,
and
hath
brought
Life
and
Immortality
to
Light
in
them
,
in
this
his
Glorious
Day
,
wherein
he
is
Judging
the
great
Whore
which
hath
defiled
the
Earth
grievously
with
her
Fornications
;
and
the
Day
of
God
is
Glorious
which
thus
brings
forth
all
the
hidden
things
of
Darkness
to
Light
:
And
Blessed
are
they
,
and
they
only
,
that
walk
in
the
Light
of
God's
Holy
City
,
into
which
no
unclean
thing
can
ever
enter
.
So
all
ye
People
of
the
Earth
,
who
are
thus
found
only
in
the
Confession
,
but
not
in
the
Forsaking
of
Sin
,
shut
your
Mouths
,
and
cease
taking
God's
Name
any
more
in
vain
,
For
certainly
the
Lord
will
not
hold
such
Guiltless
as
take
his
Name
in
vain
.
And
take
heed
of
applying
those
Scriptures
to
your selves
whilst
you
live
in
Sin
,
which
belong
only
to
such
as
witness
Redemption
from
Sin
;
as
those
words
in
that
95th
Psalm
following
do
,
which
say
,
O
come
let
us
sing
unto
the
Lord
,
let
us
heartily
rejoyce
in
the
strength
of
our
Salvation
,
for
he
is
the
Lord
our
God
,
and
we
are
the
People
of
his
Pasture
,
and
Sheep
of
his
hands
,
&c.
O
stand
in
awe
of
God
,
O
People
,
and
do
no
more
so
presumptuously
,
for
his
Sheep
you
are
not
,
who
are
so
Deaf
to
his
Voice
,
and
so
Rebellious
to
his
Word
,
as
you
have
and
do
daily
every
way
manifest
your selves
to
be
:
O
what
Salvation
can
such
witness
,
as
are
so
deep
in
their
Sins
;
for
Christ
Saves
his
People
from
their
Sins
,
from
their
Disobedience
,
from
being
miserable
Offenders
,
and
is
the
Saving
Health
of
his
Heavenly
Anointed
ones
,
he
leaves
them
not
in
the
Darkness
where
the
Sin
is
committed
,
but
brings
all
his
Followers
to
the
Light
of
Life
,
where
the
ever
Blessed
,
and
Holy
,
and
perfect
,
and
acceptable
Will
of
God
,
is
both
known
and
done
;
and
then
of
such
it
is
truly
said
,
They
are
the
Sheep
of
Christ's
Pasture
,
a
Royal
Priest-hood
,
a
peculiar
People
indeed
,
to
the
Praise
of
God's
Glory
,
Amen
.
These
things
are
in
your
Morning
Service
,
as
you
call
it
,
and
your
Evening
being
so
much
like
it
,
we
pass
it
over
,
and
proceed
to
what
follows
;
only
this
may
be
taken
notice
of
by
the
way
in
all
your
Service
,
whereas
there
is
often
repeated
those
words
,
Glory
to
the
Father
,
Son
and
Holy
Ghost
:
As
it
was
in
the
Beginning
,
&c.
I
say
,
Glory
was
not
so
given
to
God
in
the
Beginning
,
as
it
is
by
you
at
this
day
,
that
is
to
say
,
In
Form
and
Custom
,
and
in
a
dead
Mind
;
for
in
the
Beginning
living
Praises
from
a
living
Sence
of
what
God
had
done
for
their
Souls
,
was
given
to
God
:
And
as
it
was
then
,
so
it
is
at
this
day
,
by
the
living
Members
of
Christ's
Heavenly
Body
,
as
is
said
before
,
and
ever
shall
be
,
by
such
Saved
Ones
:
But
the
strange
Children
will
Dissemble
,
as
they
do
at
this
day
.
The
next
thing
I
may
take
notice
of
as
a
thing
of
Concernment
,
because
it
is
as
the
very
Door
and
In-let
into
your
defiled
Congregation
;
and
it
is
that
your
Sprinkling
,
which
you
call
Baptizing
of
Infants
,
which
is
so
unscriptural
and
corrupt
a
Custom
,
both
for
Matter
and
Manner
,
that
the
Lord's
Spirit
in
these
days
(
wherein
Truth
is
so
gloriously
arisen
)
is
so
burdened
with
,
that
he
will
not
long
forbear
to
judge
you
for
it
.
For
first
,
you
bring
in
a
little
Infant
as
the
subject
of
your
Baptism
,
which
by
your
own
Confession
in
your
Catechism
,
cannot
perform
the
things
required
of
Persons
to
be
Baptized
:
For
it
's
said
,
What
is
required
of
Persons
to
be
Baptized
?
Your
answer
is
,
Repentance
,
whereby
they
forsake
Sin
;
and
Faith
,
whereby
they
believe
the
Promises
of
God
made
to
them
in
that
business
.
And
therefore
when
it
is
further
demanded
,
Why
then
are
Infants
baptized
,
when
by
reason
of
their
tender
Age
they
cannot
perform
them
?
Your
answer
is
,
Yes
,
they
do
perform
them
by
their
Sureties
.
And
then
you
bring
in
your
Sureties
,
which
very
unchristianly
you
call
God-fathers
and
God-mothers
,
to
promise
and
vow
such
things
for
the
Child
,
as
you
never
did
to
this
day
do
for
your selves
,
that
is
,
To
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
&c.
But
I
ask
,
Who
hath
required
this
at
your
Hands
,
that
you
should
so
promise
for
them
?
Certainly
God
never
required
it
of
you
,
for
it
is
contrary
to
his
Pure
and
Holy
Nature
,
to
lay
such
an
Impossibility
upon
you
,
to
wit
,
That
you
should
promise
that
for
others
,
which
,
of
your selves
,
you
have
no
power
to
do
for
your selves
;
and
also
because
he
knows
it
is
against
the
Glory
of
his
Christ
,
who
is
the
only
Surety
,
Undertaker
and
Mediator
betwixt
God
and
Man
.
And
certainly
if
you
and
your
Teachers
were
not
utterly
given
up
to
Darkness
,
you
could
never
adventure
your
Souls
in
such
a
thing
;
for
now
it
's
well
known
amongst
Men
,
what
the
Nature
of
a
Surety
is
,
for
he
is
liable
to
pay
the
Debt
if
the
Principal
fail
,
as
if
it
were
his
own
Debt
.
Now
seeing
it's
manifest
that
there
is
a
Failing
in
the
Infant
,
as
to
the
Performance
of
this
Bond
,
to
wit
,
Of
forsaking
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
Pomps
and
Vanities
of
the
evil
World
,
and
all
the
sinful
Desires
of
the
Flesh
:
And
seeing
that
the
Wages
,
Reward
or
Punishment
for
Sin
is
Death
,
Are
you
bold
Sureties
willing
to
dye
the
Death
for
the
Child
?
for
indeed
you
deserve
it
more
than
the
Child
,
for
it
never
undertook
it
,
and
so
never
as
yet
brought
it self
under
the
actual
and
personal
Ingagement
for
the
Debt
.
O!
consider
,
consider
,
this
is
a
meer
Mocking
of
God
,
but
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
for
if
you
repent
not
of
this
,
and
all
your
other
Sins
,
he
will
vex
you
in
his
Wrath.
And
then
for
that
other
great
Error
,
whereby
the
blind
Guides
would
seem
to
make
you
believe
,
that
the
Infant
,
by
this
sorry
doing
of
theirs
,
is
regenerate
,
and
made
an
Inheritor
of
God's
Kingdom
:
It
is
such
a
piece
of
Popery
and
Grossness
of
Darkness
,
that
it
's
much
they
fear
not
that
the
Earth
should
open
and
swallow
them
up
,
for
their
Presumption
,
as
it
did
Core
:
For
where
did
ever
God
,
by
his
Son
,
Prophet
or
Apostle
,
ever
give
them
any
ground
in
Scripture
for
such
Judgment
;
for
Regeneration
is
such
a
worthy
Work
of
God
upon
the
Soul
,
that
it
cannot
be
done
,
but
though
the
Incorruptible
Seed
of
the
Word
of
God
,
which
lives
and
endures
for
ever
in
the
Lord
Jesus
.
But
these
bold
and
blind
Teachers
,
rushing
like
the
Horse
into
the
Battle
,
are
not
afraid
to
say
,
and
that
generally
concerning
every
Infant
which
they
Sprinkle
,
that
they
are
Regenerated
;
and
so
presume
to
give
God
Thanks
for
it
;
as
though
without
question
it
were
certainly
so
;
when
as
indeed
they
do
not
at
all
know
whether
any
thing
at
all
be
done
to
the
Childs
Soul
by
it
or
no
:
And
surely
this
must
needs
be
a
high
Presumption
,
to
Father
that
upon
the
pure
and
holy
God
,
which
he
never
promised
to
do
by
such
a
means
upon
such
a
subject
,
as
by
the
Scriptures
and
Doctrine
of
Faith
is
most
manifest
.
And
for
those
Scriptures
which
they
would
colour
the
Matter
over
to
you
with
,
makes
nothing
for
it
.
They
alledge
,
Christ
took
little
Children
in
his
Arms
,
and
blessed
them
;
therefore
they
are
regenerated
by
the
Priest's
Sprinkling
:
Is
this
good
reasoning
,
I
say
this
is
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
for
Christ
did
neither
Wash
nor
Sprinkle
them
with
any
outward
Water
at
all
,
but
laid
his
Hands
on
them
and
Blessed
them
that
came
to
him
.
But
bringing
them
to
the
Hireling
Priest
,
I
am
sure
no
wise
Man
will
say
,
is
bringing
them
to
Christ
.
And
so
let
the
little
Infants
alone
whilst
Infants
,
and
when
they
are
capable
of
Doctrine
,
let
them
be
brought
by
true
Faith
to
Christ
,
and
he
will
bless
them
now
as
then
;
for
nothing
but
the
Prayer
of
Faith
can
do
them
any
Service
at
all
in
this
weighty
Matter
until
then
.
So
this
meddling
with
Children
above
this
measure
of
Truth
and
Faith
,
is
great
Presumption
.
Again
saith
the
Priest
(
who
would
be
Saved
himself
by
some
outward
Observation
or
means
of
Words
or
Water
,
or
the
like
,
if
it
could
be
)
did
not
Christ
say
,
Whosoever
shall
not
receive
the
Kingdom
of
God
as
a
little
Child
,
shall
in
no
wise
enter
therein
.
So
say
I
also
:
But
what
is
this
to
their
Custom
of
Sprinkling
the
Flesh
with
Water
,
and
their
Doctrine
of
Regeneration
thereupon
?
I
say
,
nothing
at
all
;
For
the
Natural
Infant
is
only
here
set
forth
by
way
of
Similitude
,
to
shew
what
harmless
,
passive
,
low-minded
Things
those
are
,
who
enters
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
But
Flesh
and
Blood
,
saith
Paul
,
enters
not
,
neither
doth
Corruption
inherit
Incorruption
,
1
Cor.
15
50.
And
as
for
the
natural
Infants
,
though
they
be
harmless
as
to
Men
,
yet
they
generally
hold
,
that
by
Nature
they
are
not
Harmless
and
without
Sin
in
God's
sight
,
and
so
as
such
,
are
not
fit
Subjects
of
God's
Kingdom
.
And
Rom.
9.6
,
7
,
8.
the
Apostle
speaking
of
such
a
thing
as
this
,
saith
,
All
are
not
Israel
which
are
of
Israel
(
though
outwardly
Circumcised
.
)
Neither
because
they
are
the
Seed
of
Abraham
are
they
all
Children
,
but
in
Isaac
shall
thy
Seed
be
called
.
That
is
,
They
which
are
the
Children
of
the
Flesh
,
these
are
not
the
Children
of
God
,
but
the
Children
of
the
Promise
are
counted
for
the
Seed
.
Ye
may
as
well
,
yea
better
,
conclude
,
That
all
who
came
of
Abraham
according
to
the
Flesh
,
and
were
outwardly
Circumcised
,
were
Saved
(
because
Circumcision
was
commanded
for
the
Children
to
which
outward
Baptism
was
not
)
as
that
all
Coming
of
Parents
,
called
Christian
and
outwardly
Sprinkled
,
are
Saved
(
and
that
for
the
outward
sake
)
as
you
in
your
Doctrine
most
presumptuously
do
:
But
here
the
Apostle
gives
all
such
Car●al
Conceits
the
check
.
And
as
he
saith
in
another
place
,
It
's
neither
Circumcision
nor
Vncircumcision
avails
any
thing
in
this
great
matter
,
but
a
new
Creature
.
So
may
we
as
truly
say
to
all
such
this
day
,
who
place
no
less
than
Salvation
it self
upon
the
outward
Baptism
,
that
it
is
neither
such
Baptizing
,
nor
Unbaptizing
,
that
avails
any
thing
to
God's
Kingdom
,
but
a
new
Creature
in
Christ
Jesus
,
for
it
is
said
,
He
that
Believes
and
is
Baptized
,
shall
be
Saved
:
But
he
that
Believes
not
,
is
condemned
already
.
But
he
doth
not
say
,
He
that
is
not
Baptized
with
outward
Water
shall
be
Damned
,
or
is
Condemned
already
.
And
we
,
through
Grace
,
know
there
is
a
Baptism
of
the
Spirit
,
whereby
all
the
Members
of
Christ
are
Baptized
by
one
Spirit
into
one
Body
,
Glory
to
God
,
who
hath
given
us
Victory
over
the
Beast
,
Whore
and
False
Prophet
.
But
you
will
say
,
perhaps
,
then
,
What
shall
become
of
our
Children
?
I
say
,
if
thou
knowest
not
,
stay
till
God
make
it
known
unto
thee
;
for
Secret
things
belong
to
God
,
things
Revealed
tous
.
But
it
is
no
where
said
,
That
all
that
come
of
such
as
are
called
Christians
outwardly
,
and
are
not
Sprinkled
after
the
Custom
of
England
,
and
dye
before
they
commit
actual
Sin
,
are
excluded
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
as
the
Ignorant
and
Presumptuous
may
imagine
;
but
as
they
grow
capable
of
Doctrine
,
we
ought
to
instruct
them
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
so
nurture
them
up
in
his
Fear
,
to
know
him
in
them
,
and
what
he
is
to
them
in
their
Hearts
by
Faith
,
as
is
in
part
said
before
,
so
shall
no
Uncircumcised
or
Unclean
in
Heart
,
be
brought
into
God's
Church
;
neither
shall
the
Hireling
make
a
Prey
upon
the
People
any
more
;
but
the
Church
shall
be
as
in
the
Beginning
,
when
it
was
called
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
a
Royal
not
a
Defiled
Priesthood
,
a
Chosen
Generation
(
not
the
unchosen
and
unclean
World
a
peculiar
People
(
and
not
the
whole
World
,
who
in
their
Uncleanness
,
can
get
into
the
Talk
of
Christian
Religion
,
to
the
great
Dishonour
of
God
,
who
is
burdened
with
the
Manners
of
such
People
as
cry
Lord
,
Lord
,
and
leaving
continually
undone
the
Lord's
Holy
Commandments
.
)
And
now
that
you
who
read
these
Lines
,
may
ponder
a
little
further
of
what
I
say
,
I
may
here
set
down
somewhat
more
of
the
Priest's
deceivable
words
at
their
Sprinkling
of
Infants
,
as
you
may
find
them
in
the
Book
:
For
thus
saith
the
Priest
to
the
People
,
Dearly
B●lived
,
ye
have
brought
this
Child
here
to
be
Baptized
,
ye
have
Prayed
that
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
would
receive
it
,
to
r●lease
it
of
its
Sins
,
to
Sanctifie
it
with
the
Holy
Christ
,
to
give
it
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
and
everlasting
Life
:
Ye
have
heard
also
how
Christ
hath
promised
in
his
Gospel
to
grant
all
these
things
,
which
ye
have
prayed
for
.
(
Stay
,
I
say
,
and
be
afraid
for
this
Boldness
,
for
there
is
no
such
Promise
in
the
Gospel
,
that
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
will
give
Eternal
Life
to
any
,
much
less
to
all
that
the
Hypocrites
and
open
Prophane
Sinners
pray
for
,
for
their
Prayers
sake
;
who
do
all
with
one
Mouth
and
Consent
,
daily
Confess
they
have
no
Health
in
them
,
but
are
Miserable
Offenders
,
living
in
the
continual
Breach
of
God's
Commandments
,
and
even
angry
in
their
Minds
to
hear
any
profess
and
witness
a
better
State
;
so
it
was
most
truly
said
,
God
heareth
not
People
living
in
Sin
,
but
if
any
be
a
Doer
of
God's
Will
,
him
God
heareth
,
John
9.
)
So
,
People
,
you
may
see
your
Teachers
frame
Deceit
,
and
would
have
you
believe
their
Untruths
.
But
the
Priest
goes
on
,
and
saith
,
Which
Promise
he
for
his
part
will
most
surely
keep
and
perform
.
Wherefore
after
this
Promise
made
by
Christ
(
silence
Flesh
,
there
is
no
such
Promise
made
upon
this
account
)
this
Infant
must
also
faithfully
,
for
his
part
,
promise
by
you
that
are
his
Sureties
,
(
until
he
come
to
Age
to
take
it
upon
himself
)
that
he
will
Renounce
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
and
constantly
believe
God's
Holy
Word
,
and
obediently
keep
his
Commandments
.
So
now
by
this
all
may
see
that
these
Priests
,
for
all
their
great
talk
of
Regenerating
by
their
Baptism
,
it
stands
only
upon
a
Condition
,
that
the
Child
must
perform
faithfully
what
is
promised
on
their
part
.
And
so
they
do
not
believe
their
own
Doctrine
,
when
they
say
in
their
Catechism
,
without
any
if
or
and
,
That
the
Child
was
in
its
Baptism
made
an
Inheritor
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
:
And
so
in
Unbelief
and
Blindness
of
their
Hearts
do
they
presume
to
give
Thanks
,
when
they
say
afterwards
that
they
give
God
Thanks
that
he
hath
Regenerated
the
Infant
.
If
they
had
prayed
only
that
he
would
do
it
,
and
so
have
left
it
,
it
had
been
less
,
but
to
conclude
that
it
is
absolutely
done
,
only
because
they
have
sprinkled
it
,
and
said
a
few
words
over
it
,
and
the
Covenant
on
the
Child's
part
yet
unperformed
,
this
is
great
Presumption
,
and
a
grievous
taking
of
God's
Name
in
vain
.
And
here
also
is
manifest
a
grievous
Error
,
that
they
cannot
stay
until
the
Child
can
promise
for
it self
,
if
there
must
needs
be
sprinkling
and
promising
,
but
they
must
bring
in
others
,
without
all
Scripture
and
Reason
,
to
promise
for
them
:
For
I
do
positively
affirm
as
before
,
that
God
never
required
it
at
any
ones
Hand
so
to
do
;
for
besides
,
that
there
is
no
Scripture
for
it
,
it
is
greatly
against
Christ
,
who
is
the
alone
Surety
and
Mediator
betwixt
God
and
Man
,
but
it
hath
been
a
Custom
meerly
introduced
amongst
People
called
Christians
,
in
the
dark
Night
of
Apostacy
,
when
Popery
began
,
which
now
in
the
clear
shining
of
the
Sun
of
Righteousness
upon
People
again
,
is
done
,
and
daily
to
be
done
away
,
Glory
to
the
Lord
for
Ever
.
But
the
Priest
goes
on
,
demanding
of
the
Sureties
(
which
oftentimes
fall
out
to
be
some
wanton
Boy
or
Girl
,
or
some
other
Notorious
Evil-liver
of
Riper
Years
.
)
Dost
thou
in
the
Name
of
this
Child
renounce
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
the
vain
Pomp
and
Glory
of
the
World
,
with
all
Covetous
Desires
of
the
same
,
and
the
Carnal
Desires
of
the
Flesh
,
so
that
thou
wilt
not
follow
,
nor
be
led
by
them
.
And
then
these
Ignorant
Sureties
,
of
what
sort
soever
,
being
fore-instructed
by
the
Priest
,
must
Answer
,
I
Renounce
them
all
.
What!
People
,
are
ye
all
Dead
,
or
fast
asleep
,
that
ye
never
consider
such
things
as
these
,
but
rush
like
a
Horse
into
the
Battel
without
fear
,
into
such
weighty
Matters
as
these
?
Were
it
not
fit
that
such
who
promise
so
boldly
so
great
Matters
for
others
,
were
first
looked
into
whether
ever
they
did
half
,
nay
,
the
hundredth
part
of
so
much
for
themselves
,
but
where
the
Blind
leads
the
Blind
,
what
less
than
such
Pits
can
be
expected
.
And
further
,
these
Bold
Sureties
on
the
Child's
behalf
,
being
asked
concerning
his
Belief
of
the
Articles
of
Faith
,
called
the
Creed
,
go
on
,
and
being
taught
of
Man
,
are
not
afraid
to
say
any
thing
,
and
affirm
,
That
all
that
they
stedfastly
believe
,
though
in
their
Heart
the
Knowledge
of
God
is
not
.
And
being
further
asked
,
Whether
be
will
obediently
keep
God's
Holy
Will
and
Commandments
,
and
walk
in
the
same
all
the
Days
of
his
Life
?
The
Answer
is
without
stop
or
lett
,
without
asking
Counsel
of
God
at
all
,
I
will
.
O
what
a
thing
is
Man
left
to
himself
!
What
a
heap
of
Confusion
and
Contradiction
is
he
!
O
what
Task-masters
of
Egypt
are
these
Blind
Guides
,
to
bind
that
on
others
,
which
they
will
not
touch
with
one
of
their
Fingers
;
for
they
themselves
neither
forsake
the
Devil
,
nor
his
Works
,
as
is
manifest
;
nor
believe
in
God
nor
Christ
stedfastly
;
for
how
should
they
trust
God
for
their
Souls
,
who
dare
not
trust
him
for
their
Bellies
,
as
their
Covetous
Practices
shews
?
And
how
can
they
be
said
to
keep
God's
Holy
Will
and
Commandments
all
their
Days
,
who
are
doing
what
they
should
not
do
by
their
own
Confession
all
their
Lives
long
.
And
when
the
Priests
have
thus
far
taken
God's
Name
in
vain
,
and
deceived
themselves
,
and
the
Parents
by
making
them
believe
that
they
are
what
they
are
not
,
by
this
their
sorry
doing
,
they
proceed
to
give
Charge
to
the
God-fathers
and
God-mothers
,
(
so
called
)
that
they
bring
the
Child
when
it
can
say
(
for
it
must
be
noted
that
their
Religion
stands
in
saying
)
the
Creed
,
the
Lord's
Prayer
,
and
the
Ten
Commandments
,
in
the
Vulgar
Tongue
,
that
they
bring
it
to
the
Bishop
to
be
Confirmed
by
him
.
O
sad
!
O
sad
!
that
ever
Men
should
thus
dare
to
trifle
with
Holy
Things
.
For
Regeneration
is
a
Holy
Thing
,
but
is
neither
wrought
by
outward
Washings
,
nor
vain
Mens
Words
,
nor
Promises
,
nor
their
Prayers
,
but
only
by
Jesus
Christ
,
the
great
and
true
Baptizer
,
according
to
the
working
of
his
Heavenly
Power
and
Spirit
of
Life
in
the
Will
of
God
,
as
he
saith
,
The
Wind
bloweth
where
it
listeth
,
and
thou
hearest
the
sound
thereof
,
but
knowest
not
whence
it
comes
,
nor
whither
it
goes
,
so
is
every
one
that
is
Born
of
God's
Spirit
,
John
3.8
.
And
to
shut
up
this
Business
,
that
none
may
be
ignorant
of
the
grosness
of
Darkness
that
goes
all
along
in
this
thing
,
and
so
ends
it
;
they
say
,
It
is
certain
by
God's
Word
,
that
Children
which
are
Baptized
,
dying
before
they
commit
Actual
Sin
,
are
undoubtedly
Saved
.
Understand
thus
Baptized
,
as
aforesaid
.
Now
to
this
I
say
,
that
if
People
can
be
wrought
into
such
Darkness
as
to
believe
this
,
and
to
rest
satisfied
that
it
is
according
to
the
Word
of
God
,
when
it
is
a
meer
Invention
of
the
Nations
in
the
Apostacy
,
and
so
no
Scripture
of
Truth
at
all
for
it
,
it
's
no
wonder
if
they
can
get
them
into
the
Belief
of
lesser
Errors
.
And
also
it
's
no
wonder
to
see
the
Poor
People
,
thus
deluded
,
make
such
haste
to
get
their
Infants
to
the
Priest
,
when
they
perceive
them
in
any
danger
of
dying
.
For
these
that
lay
so
much
stress
upon
this
outward
Sprinkling
or
Baptism
,
as
they
call
it
,
must
needs
have
dismal
Thoughts
concerning
such
as
Die
without
the
same
,
to
wit
,
that
they
are
little
less
,
if
not
altogether
Damned
.
And
as
also
may
easily
be
gathered
from
the
Words
before
their
Burial
of
their
Dead
,
which
runs
thus
,
Here
is
to
be
noted
,
say
they
,
that
the
Office
ensuing
,
(
to
wit
,
of
their
manner
of
their
Burial
of
the
Dead
,
which
they
call
Christian
Burial
)
is
not
to
be
used
for
any
that
Die
unbaptized
,
(
to
wit
,
unsprinkled
by
the
Priest
,
as
aforesaid
)
or
Excommunicate
,
or
have
laid
violent
Hands
upon
themselves
.
O
what
Darkness
,
what
Destruction
and
Misery
is
in
all
their
Ways
,
who
account
not
People
worthy
of
Christian
Burial
,
who
are
either
Excommunicate
by
these
Wretched
Men
,
and
that
may
be
for
not
paying
a
Groat
or
two
for
Repair
of
their
Steeple
house
,
or
high
Place
!
Or
will
not
,
nay
,
cannot
for
Conscience-sake
come
under
their
Sprinkling
.
But
as
for
the
Man
they
speak
of
,
who
hath
laid
violent
Hands
upon
himself
,
what
if
it
prove
one
that
they
say
has
been
made
Inheritor
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
yea
,
confirmed
in
it
by
their
Office
,
and
was
never
Excommunicated
by
them
,
must
not
he
have
Christian
Burial
neither
?
O
strange
confused
doings
!
Then
it
seems
the
Gates
of
Hell
may
prevail
against
such
as
are
of
your
Faith
,
though
they
be
confirmed
in
it
never
so
much
.
And
by
this
it
also
appears
,
that
you
are
such
Sinners
as
God
hears
not
,
as
was
said
before
;
for
you
prayed
after
your
wretched
Fashion
,
in
your
sprinkling
of
them
,
that
the
Old
Adam
might
die
in
them
,
but
lo
here
he
lives
,
and
hath
laid
violent
Hands
upon
the
Body
;
you
prayed
for
Power
over
the
Devil
for
them
,
but
lo
here
the
Devil
hath
overcome
them
;
you
prayed
that
those
Dedicated
by
your
Ministry
might
be
Everlastingly
Rewarded
with
good
,
but
lo
here
your
Child
is
become
a
Man
,
and
a
Self-murderer
,
and
not
thought
worthy
of
Christian
Burial
,
as
you
call
it
.
But
the
Lord
sees
all
your
grievous
doings
,
your
End
is
come
and
coming
,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself
,
the
Everlasting
High-priest
is
at
Work
,
Baptizing
with
his
Holy
Spirit
and
Fire
;
O!
his
Fan
is
in
his
Hand
throughly
to
purge
the
Floor
.
But
you
Mer-made
Priests
,
who
have
presumed
to
speak
,
and
he
never
sent
you
,
you
are
not
as
his
Mouth
or
Messengers
,
for
you
put
no
difference
,
neither
know
ye
how
to
put
difference
betwixt
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
.
You
bring
in
the
uncircumcised
and
unclean
,
you
matter
not
what
you
do
,
you
weigh
not
your
Doings
nor
Words
in
God's
Ballance
,
but
the
Love
of
Money
(
the
Root
of
all
Evil
)
hath
so
blinded
your
Eyes
,
that
you
will
see
nothing
at
all
of
Truth
,
for
your
Eye
being
Evil
,
your
whole
Body
is
full
of
Darkness
,
as
Christ
saith
;
your
Skirts
are
discovered
,
the
Books
are
opened
,
and
now
will
the
Lord
give
you
according
to
your
Deeds
;
as
you
have
grieved
and
burdened
his
good
Spirit
,
so
will
he
burden
you
with
his
Plagues
and
Terrors
:
And
though
you
may
cry
to
the
Rocks
and
the
Mountains
,
yet
nothing
shall
hide
you
from
his
Wrath
,
as
Truth
hath
said
it
is
so
.
Some
have
been
lopping
at
the
Branches
,
but
now
Christ's
Axe
is
laid
again
to
the
Root
of
the
Evil
Tree
,
(
Glory
to
his
Name
)
to
cut
it
up
Root
and
Branch
,
that
the
right
Heavenly
Root
and
Branch
of
his
own
planting
may
bring
forth
Fruit
to
his
Glory
and
Endless
Praise
,
who
is
worthy
,
who
is
over
all
God
Blessed
for
Ever
.
So
be
it
.
The
next
thing
,
after
the
Children
are
grown
up
to
Men
and
Women
,
at
least
to
Sixteen
Years
of
Age
,
or
upwards
,
and
have
passed
the
Bishops
Hands
,
as
is
before-mentioned
,
they
are
invited
to
the
Communion
,
which
they
call
the
other
Sacrament
,
wherein
they
eat
Bread
and
drink
Wine
in
remembrance
of
Christ's
Death
,
as
they
say
,
until
he
come
:
But
here
you
must
understand
a
great
Mystery
of
Deceit
which
hath
crept
in
amongst
the
People
called
Christians
,
since
the
Apostles
time
,
in
the
Apostacy
and
great
Darkness
of
Antichrist
;
to
wit
,
that
though
they
tell
of
remembring
Christ's
Death
till
he
come
,
yet
they
do
not
believe
,
nor
would
have
any
others
ever
to
believe
,
that
this
coming
of
Christ
shall
be
whilst
People
are
in
this
Body
upon
the
Earth
,
but
they
must
be
eating
Bread
and
drinking
Wine
as
a
Sign
,
and
never
come
to
see
it
fulfilled
to
them
in
the
coming
of
the
Substance
,
to
wit
,
Christ
in
Life
and
Power
to
dwell
with
them
,
and
in
them
,
as
he
promised
to
them
that
looked
for
him
;
as
Christ
said
concerning
the
Fruit
of
the
Vine
,
that
he
would
drink
it
new
with
his
Disciples
in
his
Father's
Kingdom
.
And
as
Christ
taught
them
,
amongst
other
things
,
to
pray
that
the
Father's
Kingdom
might
come
;
and
is
not
this
to
be
known
in
People
whilst
here
?
Yea
,
yea
,
and
so
to
feel
Christ
supping
with
them
,
and
they
with
him
;
and
being
unto
them
their
daily
Bread
,
as
he
saith
in
the
sixth
of
John
,
I
am
the
Bread
of
Life
;
thus
,
I
say
,
they
remain
out
of
the
Faith
of
Christ
;
and
so
without
Faith
it
's
impossible
to
please
God
.
Also
here
is
to
be
noted
another
grand
Deceit
of
the
Enemy
in
this
their
Sacrament
,
so
called
,
in
that
he
makes
them
believe
the
Bread
and
Wine
is
not
holy
enough
,
and
sufficient
for
that
Business
,
unless
the
Man-made
Priest
have
said
some
words
over
it
,
which
they
call
Consecration
,
and
so
Consecrated
it
,
as
they
speak
,
with
his
unholy
Hands
;
unholy
I
call
them
,
and
that
appears
from
their
own
Confession
,
for
they
daily
say
they
have
no
Health
in
them
,
by
reason
of
their
grievous
Offences
,
but
if
they
had
not
in
words
confessed
it
,
yet
their
Lives
makes
it
manifest
that
they
are
of
unclean
Lips
,
and
defiled
Hands
,
which
whilst
so
,
are
not
fit
to
meddle
with
Holy
Things
,
no
more
than
the
Lepers
under
the
Law
,
were
fit
in
their
Leprosie
to
enter
into
the
Temple
,
or
meddle
with
any
Holy
Thing
:
And
for
those
words
they
use
unto
all
that
Communicate
Hand
over
Head
,
which
say
,
The
Body
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
preserve
thy
Body
and
Soul
unto
Everlasting
Life
:
It
is
demanded
where
they
had
them
,
for
I
never
read
any
such
in
Christ's
giving
that
Bread
and
Wine
at
his
last
Supper
,
nor
in
Paul's
words
to
the
Corinthians
,
afterwards
speaking
of
it
,
where
then
had
they
them
?
Surely
they
have
either
Invented
them
out
of
their
own
Heads
,
or
had
them
out
of
some
Popish
Book
,
or
the
like
:
For
it
is
certain
from
the
Lord
Jesus
they
came
not
,
seeing
they
are
such
a
Burden
to
the
Souls
of
his
Redeemed
Ones
this
Day
:
But
again
these
words
,
Preserve
thy
Body
and
Soul
,
signifies
,
the
Blind
Priest
takes
it
for
granted
,
that
all
that
he
gives
this
Bread
unto
,
are
in
a
good
and
safe
Condition
at
present
,
though
the
Lord
knows
,
and
they
themselves
confess
,
they
remain
Miserable
Offenders
,
and
have
no
Health
in
them
.
O
what
sad
work
is
here
amongst
them
!
O
what
grievous
daubing
!
First
,
they
tell
them
,
that
by
their
sprinkling
they
were
made
so
and
so
,
as
is
before-mentioned
,
and
in
their
Bishoping
confirmed
in
it
;
and
now
therefore
by
this
eating
and
drinking
they
are
preserved
,
though
to
the
Grief
of
the
Spirit
of
God
they
live
in
their
Sins
,
and
in
the
broad
way
of
the
Old
and
Evil
World
,
where
the
true
sprinkling
of
the
Blood
of
Christ
is
not
known
;
for
saith
the
Apostle
,
If
we
walk
in
the
Light
,
as
he
,
to
wit
,
God
,
is
in
the
Light
,
them
have
we
Fellowship
one
with
another
;
and
the
Blood
of
Jesus
Christ
his
Son
,
cleanseth
us
from
all
sin
,
1
John
1.6
,
7.
Then
it
must
needs
be
,
that
such
as
walk
in
Darkness
know
not
Christ
,
nor
the
cleansing
of
his
Blood
,
for
he
is
only
the
Author
of
Life
to
all
that
obey
him
;
but
the
unclean
World
eat
and
drink
Damnation
to
themselves
,
whatsoever
to
the
contrary
they
may
Imagine
.
But
whence
came
this
Custom
of
Consecrating
Bread
and
Wine
,
if
not
from
those
of
Rome
,
who
falsly
imagine
the
Real
Presence
,
as
they
call
it
,
to
be
after
their
Consecration
?
For
Christ's
giving
of
Thanks
at
his
last
Supper
,
before
his
giving
of
Bread
and
Wine
,
is
nothing
to
your
Custom
.
Also
seeing
you
pretend
to
give
all
the
Vertue
to
the
Thing
signified
,
and
not
to
the
Signs
,
you
spoil
your
own
Doctrine
of
Consecration
:
But
Popery
is
easilier
gotten
out
of
the
Profession
than
out
of
the
Heart
.
It
would
be
long
to
tell
of
all
the
bold
and
strange
Passages
they
have
in
this
their
Communion
,
as
in
the
other
of
their
Observations
.
But
this
one
more
only
may
be
mentioned
,
and
so
pass
on
,
and
it
is
this
,
Therefore
with
Angels
,
and
Archangels
,
and
with
all
the
Company
of
Heaven
,
say
they
,
we
laud
and
magnifie
thy
Glorious
Name
Evermore
,
praising
thee
,
and
saying
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
Holy
Lord
God
of
Hosts
,
Heaven
and
Earth
are
full
of
thy
Glory
.
Now
all
People
,
whose
Minds
are
tender
towards
God
,
I
Appeal
to
God's
Witness
in
you
,
whether
such
words
as
these
do
any
way
suit
or
agree
with
the
Condition
of
the
Parishes
of
England
,
who
thus
use
them
?
For
what
Fellowship
have
such
Miserable
Offenders
and
Unhealed
Souls
with
Angels
,
and
Archangels
,
and
all
the
Heavenly
Company
?
Nay
,
nay
,
no
more
than
Light
and
Darkness
hath
.
But
here
the
Whore
that
fits
upon
many
Waters
(
which
by
Exposition
of
the
Spirit
,
are
Multitudes
of
People
)
hath
lifted
up
their
Minds
into
a
Conceit
that
they
are
Real
Christians
,
and
so
of
the
Heavenly
Company
,
because
of
Words
,
when
Alas
they
are
for
the
most
part
such
as
the
Apostle
wrote
unto
weeping
,
Who
so
walk
as
that
they
are
Enemies
to
the
Cross
of
Christ
,
whose
God
is
their
Bellies
,
and
glory
in
their
shame
,
minding
earthly
things
,
Phil.
3.
And
what
shall
I
say
of
their
Ring
,
and
plighting
of
their
Troth
,
and
Worshipping
one
another
in
their
Form
of
Wedding
,
when
they
say
,
With
this
Ring
I
thee
Wed
,
and
with
my
Body
I
thee
Worship
;
but
even
take
up
a
Lamentation
for
the
People
,
whose
Eye
is
so
blinded
by
the
God
of
this
World
,
that
they
will
not
see
the
things
that
belong
unto
their
Peace
in
this
the
Day
of
the
Lord
,
wherein
he
is
so
lovingly
ca●●ing
them
out
of
their
Darkness
into
his
Marvellous
Light
.
And
as
for
the
Visitation
of
their
Sick
,
and
Churching
of
their
Women
,
as
they
call
it
,
(
that
Mosaical
Rite
)
there
is
such
bold
calling
of
every
one
,
(
who
can
but
say
a
few
words
by
rote
)
the
Servants
of
God
,
and
putters
of
their
Trust
in
God
,
and
the
like
,
it
even
burdens
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
to
bear
it
:
And
to
hear
a
poor
wretched
Man
,
who
hath
run
,
and
God
never
sent
him
;
to
say
,
That
by
the
Authority
of
God
given
him
,
he
Absolves
the
Sick
Man
from
all
his
Sins
:
Such
had
need
take
heed
lest
the
Judgments
of
God
fall
on
them
,
as
it
did
upon
those
Presumptuous
Jews
,
the
Priests
Sons
,
mentioned
Acts
19.13
,
&c.
And
for
their
Burials
,
as
they
do
in
the
rest
,
so
do
they
in
this
,
and
are
most
grievous
Daubers
and
Takers
of
God's
Name
in
vain
;
and
they
are
not
afraid
to
say
indifferently
of
one
as
well
as
another
,
that
they
have
a
Hope
,
yea
,
a
sure
and
certain
Hope
of
their
Resurrection
to
Life
Eternal
,
though
they
have
been
never
so
Notoriously
Evil
in
this
Life
;
yea
,
though
they
have
said
but
a
little
before
in
their
Commination
,
Cursed
are
the
Vnmerciful
,
Fornicators
,
and
Adulterers
,
Covetous
Persons
,
Idolaters
,
Slanderers
,
Drunkards
and
Extortioners
;
and
both
Prieft
and
People
said
Amen
to
it
.
And
though
they
be
found
living
and
dying
such
,
yet
now
at
their
Burial
all
must
be
daubed
over
with
a
Resurrection
to
Life
Eternal
.
But
here
is
the
Device
by
which
the
Hireling
lives
;
for
what
by
their
Doctrines
and
Words
in
their
Sprinklings
,
in
their
Confirmations
,
in
their
Communions
,
in
their
Burials
,
yea
,
in
all
their
Doings
,
there
is
such
a
Bewitching
of
the
People
,
and
strengthning
the
Hands
of
Evil-doers
,
that
none
returns
from
their
Evil
Ways
,
but
all
lyes
in
Death
and
Darkness
,
without
remorse
;
none
smites
upon
his
Thigh
,
and
saith
,
What
have
I
done
?
But
with
Death
they
make
a
Covenant
,
and
with
Hell
are
they
and
their
Multitude
at
Agreement
;
but
with
the
Over
flowing
Scourge
of
his
Wrath
,
will
the
Lord
sweep
away
all
Lying
Refuges
;
and
the
Lord
is
begun
to
make
a
Blessed
Separation
between
the
Precious
and
the
Vile
,
Glory
to
his
Name

Ever

So
be
it
;
so
be
it
.
O!
the
set
Wages
and
Hire
in
every
Parish
,
seconded
with
an
Outward
Law
to
compel
it
,
and
the
many
stinted
Forms
of
Words
and
Actions
in
their
Services
made
ready
to
their
Hands
,
and
Enjoined
upon
them
,
upon
Pain
of
being
uncapable
of
the
Wage
and
Hire
appointed
for
those
Doings
,
is
such
a
Bait
to
the
Mercenary
Minds
of
the
Men
of
this
World
,
that
it
even
draws
and
drives
by
heaps
into
the
Ministry
such
as
God
never
sent
,
nor
would
never
come
of
themselves
,
but
for
the
sake
of
that
filthy
Lucre.
But
God
is
shaking
his
Hand
against
such
Dishonest
Gain
;
and
the
Lord
hath
,
and
is
restoring
to
us
the
Ancient
Ministry
as
in
the
Apostles
Days
,
where
all
was
done
by
the
Ability
of
God's
own
Spirit
,
in
such
as
had
freely
received
the
Gift
thereof
,
and
therefore
could
and
can
freely
give
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
Evermore
.
Amen
and
Amen
.

A
Testimony
for
the
Lord
,
the
good
Shepherd
,
and
true
Minister
of
the
Sanctuary
,
and
true
Tabernacle
which
God
hath
pitched
,
and
not
Man
,
against
all
the
false
Shepherds
,
and
Hireling
Ministers
,
and
Teachers
of
the
World
,
under
what
Name
,
or
Notion
,
or
Form
soever
,
who
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
them
,
and
therefore
cannot
profit
the
People
at
all
.
HEAR
the
Word
of
the
Lod
God
that
is
gone
forth
against
you
,
like
a
Flame
of
Fire
,
in
this
the
mighty
Day
of
the
arising
of
the
Almighty
Power
of
the
Lord
God
Almighty
,
who
is
jealous
of
his
Honour
,
and
who
is
tender
of
the
poor
Souls
whom
you
have
deceived
,
and
do
daily
make
a
Prey
of
for
filthy
Lucre
,
your
End
is
come
,
deny
Christ
come
in
the
Flesh
,
run
to
the
Powers
of
the
Earth
;
and
Cry
out
,
They
will
not
pay
us
,
they
will
not
put
into
our
Mouths
,
they
will
buy
none
of
our
Merchandize
any
more
;
Alas
,
alas
,
our
great
City
:
But
for
all
their
Crying
,
God
will
not
hear
,
nor
help
them
,
for
they
have
left
off
to
do
good
,
and
God
hath
shaken
his
Hand
at
their
dishonest
Gain
;
and
the
Son
of
God
,
in
his
Ever-blessed
Light
,
is
arisen
,
and
is
at
Work
to
lead
out
of
Darkness
the
Souls
of
the
Simple
,
that
they
may
know
him
alone
to
be
their
Priest
,
Minister
and
Teacher
,
and
may
not
be
a
Prey
any
longer
to
the
Wolf
in
the
Sheep's
Clothing
;
the
Wolf
,
who
is
inwardly
gone
from
God
,
and
ravenned
into
the
dark
Wilderness
,
and
hath
stollen
the
Saints
and
Christ's
Words
,
and
makes
a
Trade
on
them
,
to
deceive
withal
for
filthy
L●cre
:
Wo
unto
them
,
they
have
gone
in
the
Way
of
Cain
,
and
after
the
Error
of
Balaam
,
for
worldly
Ends
,
and
shall
p●rish
i●
the
gainsaying
of
the
Truth
,
as
Core
did
.
And
the
Lamb
shall
have
the
Victory
;
and
the
Lord
is
at
Work
,
leading
his
Flock
by
the
Streams
of
Living
Waters
;
Glory
to
his
Name
for
ever
.
And
what
shall
I
only
complain
of
the
Unrighteousness
,
and
declare
of
the
Downfall
of
the
Kingdom
of
false
Teachers
and
Hirelings
amongst
the
Turks
,
or
of
the
Proud
Imperious
Prelates
of
the
dark
Seed
of
Rome
?
Or
shall
I
not
rather
come
nearer
home
,
to
wit
,
to
the
Place
of
my
outward
Nativity
,
the
Land
of
Old
England
,
who
pretend
to
be
neither
of
the
Spirit
of
Turks
nor
Papists
,
but
People
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
called
Protestants
,
as
who
should
say
,
Protesters
against
Romish
Usurpations
and
Antichristian
Innovations
?
But
alas
!
to
the
Shame
of
thy
Nakedness
,
O
England
,
England
,
there
is
found
in
thee
a
Conspiracy
,
a
Company
of
lewd
and
treacherous
Men
,
covered
with
black
both
inwardly
and
outwardly
,
who
wear
a
black
Garment
now
,
as
the
false
Prophets
of
old
wore
a
rough
Garment
to
deceive
,
who
cry
,
Give
,
give
,
and
can
never
have
enough
,
for
they
are
as
Graves
;
and
if
one
put
not
into
their
Mouths
,
they
bite
with
their
Teech
,
and
prepare
War
against
them
;
The
very
Name
of
Tythes
,
shews
you
to
be
Jewish
,
and
of
Easter-Reckonings
,
and
such
like
,
to
be
Popish
;
and
now
where
is
your
Reformation
?
You
may
well
confess
,
there
is
no
Health
in
you
,
who
have
so
palpably
done
(
and
do
)
what
you
ought
not
to
have
done
,
as
in
your
Custom
you
confess
:
Health
,
nay
,
nay
,
how
should
you
have
any
Spiritual
Health
in
you
,
who
live
in
such
manifest
Opp●si●ion
to
the
Spirit
of
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Heavenly
Physician
.
Christ
Jesus
saith
to
his
Disciples
,
Freely
you
have
received
,
freely
give
;
but
you
are
all
for
Money
,
and
great
Farthly
Revenues
,
that
you
may
live
in
Pride
,
Idleness
,
and
Fulness
of
Bread
.
Christ
saith
,
Seek
ye
first
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
but
your
Care
is
,
how
to
get
great
Livings
and
Fat
Benefices
;
and
as
for
the
Heavenly
Kingdom
,
Swear
not
at
all
;
but
you
teach
for
Doctrine
,
that
Christians
may
Swear
,
The
Land
mourns
because
of
Oaths
?
What
,
have
you
no
Shame
nor
Care
of
your
Credit
,
that
can
do
such
things
in
the
open
Sun
,
That
you
regenerate
the
little
Infants
,
by
sprinkling
a
little
Water
on
its
Face
;
and
speaking
a
●ew
words
of
your
own
devising
over
it
,
which
it
knows
nothing
of
?
Go
you
indeed
,
I
say
,
believe
,
That
by
this
kind
of
Baptism
,
they
are
made
the
Children
of
God
,
the
Members
of
Christ
,
and
Inheritors
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
?
Or
do
you
not
rather
do
these
Things
to
get
Money
by
?
Oh
Cursed
Covetousness
,
That
it
shall
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
;
then
what
shall
these
bold
Promisers
suffer
,
if
the
Child
do
not
so
?
Will
they
,
or
you
their
Teachers
for
them
,
be
content
to
suffer
the
Pains
of
Hell
,
the
Reward
of
such
as
break
Covenant
with
God
?
And
when
will
you
see
that
this
Custom
of
undertaking
for
the
little
Infants
,
greatly
derogates
from
the
Honour
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
only
Undertaker
for
Man
towards
God
:
But
what
if
a
Child
,
through
Grace
,
be
so
strengthned
,
when
it
grows
up
,
as
to
see
your
Wretchedness
,
and
so
to
forsake
and
bear
Testimony
against
all
the
Works
of
the
Evil
One
that
are
done
amongst
you
,
Will
you
not
call
him
Heretick
,
and
put
him
out
of
your
Synagogues
?
Yea
,
yea
;
for
you
can
have
no
Fellowship
with
any
that
have
Health
in
them
;
for
by
your
own
Confession
,
you
are
miserable
Offenders
all
the
Days
of
your
Life
,
and
have
no
Health
in
you
,
and
so
cannot
endure
to
hear
of
Perfection
or
perfect
Soundness
on
this
side
the
Grave
:
That
Christ's
Ministry
perfects
to
God
,
Ep●

4.
Yet
there
is
not
so
much
Faith
amongst
you
as
a
Grain
of
Mustard
seed
,
to
believe
any
such
thing
;
for
if
any
come
to
be
healed
by
Christ
,
and
so
made
perfectly
found
to
God
,
and
witness
forth
the
same
,
they
are
not
for
your
Company
,
even
you
who
have
no
Health
in
you
,
but
are
miserable
Offenders
.
Oh
you
that
cry
out
against
Separatists
and
Separation
,
But
you
have
transgressed
the
Everlasting
Covenant
,
and
offered
Violence
to
the
righteous
Law
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
miserably
wrested
and
perverted
the
Holy
Scriptures
,
And
to
the
Nations
of
them
that
are
Saved
,
who
walked
in
the
Light
of
the
Heavenly
Jerusalem
,
shall
you
be
an
abhorring
for
ever
;
and
the
Redeemed
of
the
Lord
shall
daily
flock
to
Zion
out
of
your
Frozen
Land
,
to
offer
their
Spiritual
Sacrifices
to
God
upon
his
Holy
Altar
;
and
shall
see
the
Smeak
of
your
defiled
Sacrifices
go
downward
as
Cain
's
did
,
because
you
have
given
his
Lambs
Gall
and
Vinegar
to
drink
,
Oh
how
hath
the
Lord
borne
with
you
?
How
hath
his
Voice
uttered
it self
amongst
you
in
your
Streets
,
in
your
Assemblies
?
saying
in
your
Ears
,
O
Repent
,
repent
,
Give
Glory
to
God
,
by
giving
over
to
deceive
your
own
,
and
the
poor
Peoples
Souls
,
which
are
precious
to
God
:
O
ye
that
have
exalted
your selves
into
the
Place
of
Teachers
,
and
are
untaught
your selves
,
into
the
Place
of
Bishops
,
and
Overseers
of
others
,
and
have
not
looked
into
your
own
Hearts
and
Souls
,
to
see
what
grows
there
.
who
have
ran
,
and
God
never
sent
you
,
and
therefore
you
have
not
,
nor
never
can
possibly
in
that
State
,
profit
the
People
at
all
.
Oh
all
you
that
love
to
be
call'd
of
Men
Master
,
and
Doctor
,
and
Lord
Bishops
,
and
Arch
Deacons
,
and
such-like
worldly
Titles
,
which
Christ
,
It
shall
not
be
so
amongst
his
,
but
he
that
is
greatest
must
be
least
,
and
Servant
of
all
,
not
in
feigned
Words
and
deceitful
Shews
,
That
the
Earth
may
be
covered
with
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
as
the
Waters
cover
the
Sea
,
Amen
and
Amen
.
O
ye
Priests
and
Parish-Teachers
!
When
will
ye
consider
of
the
Entrance
of
your selves
into
your
Offices
,
and
the
People
into
your
Church
?
You
have
laid
another
Foundation
than
Christ
hath
laid
;
Christ
said
to
his
Messengers
and
Ministers
,
As
my
Heavenly
Father
hath
sent
me
,
so
I
send
you
;
But
Christ
was
not
made
a
Minister
by
the
Law
of
a
Carnal
Commandment
,
but
by
the
Power
of
an
endless
Life
.
And
so
you
that
are
Ministers
of
the
Letter
,
and
made
Ministers
thereof
by
the
Law
of
a
Carnal
Commandment
,
and
your
Fittedness
for
the
Work
is
gathered
not
from
the
Holy
Spirit
's
Ability
,
That
by
the
laying
on
of
their
Hands
,
you
received
either
the
Holy
Ghost
,
or
any
Gift
of
it
:
And
so
you
being
of
the
World
,
and
impowered
by
the
World
,
how
can
you
claim
Audience
or
Obedience
from
Christ's
Members
,
who
know
not
to
follow
your
Voice
,
which
is
the
Strangers
Voice
;
and
so
you
Men
of
the
World
are
heard
,
doing
what
you
ought
not
to
do
,
and
so
have
no
Health
in
you
,
and
so
dangerous
to
joyn
to
,
and
are
miserable
Offenders
,
and
causing
them
to
spend
their
Labours
for
your
Traditions
and
empty
Sound
of
Words
,
which
are
never
able
to
satisfie
their
Souls
:
will
not
fail
,
nor
be
discouraged
,
until
his
Judgments
be
brought
forth
to
Victory
over
you
.
And
now
to
you
the
Magistrates
and
Powers
,
who
Rule
in
this
Nation
of
England
,
lend
not
your
Power
,
much
less
give
it
to
this
dead
Image
;
uphold
not
this
Ministry
,
which
cannot
profit
you
nor
the
People
at
all
,
lest
God
plead
with
you
in
his
Wrath
for
your
Abuse
of
it
;
for
though
they
may
perswade
you
that
Christ
is
not
against
them
,
yet
such
as
God
hath
Redeemed
from
amongst
them
,
know
them
to
be
no
Ministers
of
Christ
,
but
Hirelings
,
who
have
run
without
Christ's
sending
;
and
so
not
going
Christ's
Message
,
they
cannot
be
content
with
Christ's
Maintenance
,
but
cry
unto
you
,
O
Magistrates
,
help
,
help
,
the
People
will
not
Pay
us
their
Tythes
,
and
the
like
,
lend
us
your
Laws
,
your
Prisons
,
&c.
O
Rulers
!
Consider
,
consider
what
Teachers
these
are
,
who
instead
of
compelling
People
to
Love
,
and
contribute
to
them
by
the
Power
of
the
Word
,
are
glad
to
run
to
the
Worldly
Magistrates
Sword
;
is
not
God
against
them
that
are
thus
against
him
?
O
leave
them
!
Leave
them
to
try
and
prove
themselves
to
the
Peoples
Conscience
,
to
be
true
Ministers
by
a
free
and
powerful
Ministry
of
the
Word
,
not
of
Man
,
but
of
God
,
unto
them
,
or
never
own
them
,
for
Christ's
ancient
and
true
Ministers
had
freely
received
,
and
therefore
could
freely
give
;
and
did
Plant
before
they
Eat
,
Babylon
;
as
the
Prophet
speaks
;
but
God's
Flock
they
feed
not
,
but
persecute
them
,
calling
them
Hereticks
,
and
all
that
's
naught
,
as
the
Old
Jews
,
who
persecuted
Christ
and
his
Followers
,
did
;
But
after
the
Way
that
they
call
Heresie
,
so
worship
we
the
God
and
Father
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
believing
his
Living
Word
which
perfects
us
to
himself
,
and
the
Scriptures
which
testifie
thereof
;
Glory
to
his
Name
for
Ever
.
And
all
ye
Peopl●y
who
are
Lovers
,
and
Followers
,
and
Upholders
of
this
false
Ministry
,
which
keeps
you
always
learning
,
which
alone
perfects
to
God
;
cease
from
it
,
and
the
Masterly
Teachers
in
it
,
and
from
them
turn
to
God
;
as
a
Hammer
and
a
Fire
in
the
Hearts
of
all
that
receive
it
?
hath
no
Pleasure
in
your
Death
;
it
is
not
his
Will
that
your
Precious
Souls
should
be
lost
for
the
pleasing
of
vain
Men
,
and
answering
their
ungodly
Lusts
:
What
is
there
no
Bulm
in
Gilead
?
Is
there
no
Christ
,
no
Physician
in
England
,
that
the
Breach
which
Sin
hath
made
betwixt
God
and
your
Souls
can
never
be
made
up
,
who
having
shut
up
the
Kingdom
of
God
against
Men
,
will
neither
enter
into
it
themselves
,
nor
suffer
others
.
Oh!
why
will
ye
Die
ye
People
of
England
?
like
a
Thief
in
the
Night
,
like
an
Armed
Man
,
like
a
terrible
Tempest
to
scatter
you
,
to
spoil
you
of
your
Glory
,
to
leave
you
neither
Root
nor
Branch
:
For
now
is
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
Mighty
in
Power
,
arisen
to
plead
with
you
in
his
Wrath
,
because
you
have
made
void
his
Law
,
and
transgressed
the
Everlasting
Covenant
of
his
Gracious
Light
,
and
instead
thereof
have
set
up
a
dead
Image
,
And
if
you
still
continue
in
your
vain
Thoughts
,
thinking
to
please
God
with
such
a
Life
,
wherein
you
are
daily
doing
what
you
ought
not
to
do
,
and
leaving
undone
what
God
commands
you
,
and
never
come
out
of
that
wretched
and
miserably
defiled
State
;
but
think
a
customary
Confession
of
Sins
,
without
forsaking
of
them
,
is
a
Worship
worthy
the
pure
God
,
who
is
of
purer
Eyes
than
to
behold
Iniquity
;
I
say
,
if
these
Thoughts
and
this
Heart
continue
in
you
,
the
Lord
will
cast
you
off
,
and
will
utterly
forsake
you
,
and
bring
his
sore
Plagues
upon
you
;
and
you
shall
know
in
that
Day
that
God
will
not
be
mocked
,
but
will
be
sanctified
and
exalted
in
his
Judgments
over
all
his
Enemies
,
especially
over
such
as
you
,
who
take
his
Name
daily
in
your
Mouths
in
vain
,
saying
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
and
living
in
a
continual
Breach
of
his
most
Holy
Commandments
;
and
who
instead
of
waiting
for
his
Holy
Spirit
,
to
kindle
a
pure
heavenly
Zeal
in
you
towards
God
and
Christ
,
And
now
unto
you
the
two
Mothers
of
these
Priests
of
this
Nation
of
England
,
called
Oxford
and
Cambridge
;
strengthned
them
against
the
Simplicity
of
the
Everlasting
Gospel
,
which
Christ
hath
restored
unto
us
in
this
his
glorious
Day
,
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
never
ordained
such
Ways
and
Means
as
you
use
for
the
furnishing
and
enabling
of
his
Servants
for
the
Work
of
his
Ministry
:
But
when
he
ascended
up
on
high
,
he
gave
Gifts
unto
Men
,
some
Apostles
,
some
Prophets
,
some
Evangelists
,
some
Pastors
and
Teachers
,
for
the
edifying
of
his
Heavenly
Body
,
and
perfecting
of
his
Holy
Ones
,
Ephes.

But
what
can
you
edifie
or
perfect
to
God
,
whose
Wisdom
is
from
below
,
and
whose
Studies
and
Exercises
for
the
most
part
run
in
the
Channel
of
the
Heathenish
Philosophy
,
and
Vain
Deceit
of
the
World's
Spirit
,
which
can
neither
receive
in
,
nor
minister
forth
any
Thing
of
Christ's
Kingdom
:
And
so
we
are
given
by
the
Lord's
Blessed
Light
and
Spirit
in
this
Day
of
the
Lord
,
to
see
and
declare
,
That
you
are
gone
from
Christ
,
and
the
Way
of
the
true
Ancient
Christians
,
into
the
Way
of
the
Heathens
,
who
know
not
God
,
as
the
Apostle
said
,
The
World
by
Wisdom
knew
not
God
:
And
so
the
People
of
the
Country
are
greatly
deceived
by
you
,
and
their
Children
extreamly
wronged
and
corrupted
by
you
;
for
many
send
up
their
Youth
to
learn
some
Good
amongst
you
;
but
Alas
,
how
can
you
that
are
so
evil
,
bring
forth
good
Fruit
?
Nay
,
nay
,
for
if
any
come
amongst
you
,
and
conform
not
to
the
filthy
and
bad
Customs
of
your
Universities
,
how
are
they
looked
upon
as
strange
Things
?
How
are
they
hooted
at
as
Owls
in
a
Desart
?
You
are
altogether
corrupt
,
Oh!
What
Lewdness
and
Debauchery
hath
mine
Eyes
beheld
in
you
?
The
Lord
will
ease
himself
of
you
,
your
high
Looks
and
high
Towers
he
will
pull
down
;
your
Theatre
that
you
Glory
in
shall
be
a
Curse
;
and
the
Lord
will
deliver
his
Lambs
from
your
Teeth
:
What
a
Face
have
you
that
you
cannot
Blush
?
What
,
will
you
never
give
over
provoking
God
with
your
Acts
and
Degrees
?
What
Heathenish
Stuff
is
this
,
to
find
you
at
this
time
a-day
telling
of
,
and
glorying
in
?
Your
Batchelers
of
Art
,
and
Masters
of
the
same
,
Batchelers
of
Divinity
,
and
Doctors
of
Divinity
,
and
such
like
;
but
if
any
come
amongst
you
,
who
through
the
Grace
of
God
,
hath
attained
to
that
Blessed
Degree
of
a
true
living
Member
of
Jesus
Christ
,
and
Man
of
God
,
to
Preach
the
Mystery
of
God's
Kingdom
,
him
you
persecute
,
him
you
disallow
,
as
your
Fore-fathers
,
the
Old
Scribes
and
Pharisees
,
rejected
Christ
Jesus
,
the
true
Foundation
and
Corner-Stone
of
the
Heavenly
Building
,
with
his
Blessed
Followers
:
And
therefore
will
God's
Controversie
be
with
you
for
Ever
,
until
you
Repent
of
your
Sorceries
and
great
Abominations
,
wherewith
you
have
burdened
his
good
Spirit
Days
without
Number
:
filled
with
the
Knowledge
of
God
,
as
the
Waters
cover
the
Sea
.
So
be
it
,
so
be
it
,

my
Spirit

The
true
Fast
from
the
False
Isaiah
58.4
.
Ye
shall
not
Fast
as
ye
do
this
Day
.
THE
Lord
Speaks
this
to
the
Ungodly
People
in
those
Days
,
who
made
a
Vain
and
Hypocritical
Shew
of
Fasting
,
but
the
Lord
Regarded
them
not
;
and
the
same
Lord
,
the
Everlasting
God
,
who
was
angry
then
with
that
False-hearted
People
,
is
Angry
and
fore
Displeased
with
the
like
Generation
of
Evil
and
Ungodly
Men
at
this
Day
;
who
,
when
any
Plague
or
Calamity
comes
upon
the
Nation
,
so
that
the
Hand
of
God
cannot
but
be
seen
against
them
,
then
they
will
call
a
Fast
for
a
Day
in
a
Week
or
a
Month
,
or
so
,
and
so
make
a
Shew
of
Humbling
themselves
in
the
outward
,
but
in
the
mean
time
the
Sin
of
their
Souls
,
and
Evil
of
their
Lives
is
not
departed
from
,
but
in
their
Words
and
Deeds
they
are
the
same
both
in
the
sight
of
God
and
Man
after
their
Fast
;
Yea
,
many
of
them
in
the
very
Day
of
their
Fast
,
as
they
were
before
.
Were
they
Drunkards
before
,
they
continue
so
still
;
were
they
given
to
Swearing
,
and
taking
God's
Holy
Name
in
Vain
,
they
are
found
the
same
still
,
for
all
their
Fasting
,
as
they
were
before
.
Were
they
Proud
and
Covetous
,
given
to
Oppress
,
Extort
and
Over-reach
the
Poor
,
and
Over-reach
their
Neighbours
in
their
Bargainings
and
Dealings
,
that
they
may
be
Rich
,
and
so
Live
,
like
the
Rich
Glutton
,
in
all
manner
of
Excess
of
Meat
,
Drink
and
Cloaths
,
they
are
found
the
same
;
alas
the
very
same
,
if
not
worse
,
after
the
Fast
,
as
they
were
before
:
Or
were
they
Guilty
of
laying
heavy
Burdens
upon
the
Tender-Conscienced
People
:
yea
,
and
of
Imprisoning
such
as
in
Conscience
to
God
could
not
Bow
to
every
thing
that
Man's
Will
set
up
,
Alas
!
to
the
Grief
of
God's
Holy
Spirit
,
they
are
found
in
the
same
Steps
still
;
and
therefore
saith
the
Lord
from
time
to
time
,
Ye
shall
not
thus
Fast
as
ye
do
this
Day
,
to
cause
your
Voice
to
be
heard
on
High
:
Is
it
such
a
Fast
that
I
have
chosen
a
Day
for
a
Man
to
Afflict
his
Soul
?
Is
it
to
bow
down
his
Head
like
a
Bull-rush
,
or
so
?
Wilt
thou
call
this
a
Fast
,
an
acceptable
Day
to
the
Lord
?
Nay
,
nay
,
this
is
not
the
Fast
that
God
hath
chosen
,
but
this
is
only
that
which
vain
deceived
Man
,
in
his
Ignorance
and
Blindness
,
chooseth
.
For
the
true
Fast
,
even
that
which
the
Holy
God
in
all
Ages
,
and
from
all
People
Requireth
,
is
that
every
one
depart
from
the
Evil
of
his
Way
,
and
from
the
Violence
that
is
in
his
Heart
and
Hands
,
and
so
to
loose
the
Bands
of
Wickedness
,
and
to
undo
the
heavy
Burdens
that
lye
upon
Soul
or
Body
;
and
so
in
Deed
and
Truth
to
let
the
Oppressed
go
free
,
and
to
break
every
Yoke
,
and
to
be
Merciful
,
Pittiful
,
and
Tender-hearted
one
to
another
,
according
to
Jesus
Christ
.
O!
this
is
the
Fast
that
pleaseth
God
,
that
which
his
Soul
,
and
the
Soul
of
the
Righteous
Loveth
.
But
to
see
People
gather
together
for
a
few
Hours
of
a
Day
,
and
in
a
few
,
or
many
Formal
Words
,
Confess
Sin
and
Wickedness
,
and
yet
Live
in
it
,
this
is
Abominable
in
the
sight
of
God
and
all
good
Men.
Therefore
all
Awake
,
Arise
,
and
stand
up
to
Judgment
,
O
all
ye
People
of
the
Earth
,
who
are
found
in
such
Deceitful
Worship
,
for
God
is
not
Mocked
,
neither
will
he
be
at
all
Reconciled
to
you
,
until
you
,
from
the
Heart
,
put
away
all
your
Sins
,
whereby
his
Glory
this
Day
is
so
much
stained
,
and
until
you
bring
forth
Fruits
of
Righteousness
,
and
such
Words
and
Works
daily
as
are
worthy
amendment
of
Life
.
Thomas
Taylor

Something
in
Answer
to
some
Passages
in
that
naughty
Book
,
called
,
A
Looking-Glass
for
Ladies
.
HE
saith
in
Page
89
and
90.
There
are
two
sorts
of
Love
;
One
Legal
,
The
other
Evangelical
.
The
First
,
which
is
Legal
,
is
to
Love
God
with
all
our
Hearts
,
all
our
Souls
,
and
all
our
Might
.
This
,
saith
this
Man
,
no
Man
can
attain
unto
in
this
Life
,
no
not
the
Regenerate
themselves
.
To
which
I
Answer
,
That
this
Man
shews
plainly
,
that
he
knows
not
what
he
saith
,
but
is
not
only
a
False
Witness
against
God
and
his
Work
in
his
Regenerate
People
,
but
also
a
manifest
Contradicter
of
himself
,
for
saith
he
,
Evangelical
Love
is
when
a
Man
begins
here
truly
to
Love
God
.
2.
When
he
doth
daily
grow
and
increase
in
this
Love
.
3.
When
he
is
Constant
in
the
same
to
the
end
,
so
that
nothing
can
draw
him
from
God
.
This
he
and
all
that
sort
will
in
words
confess
the
Regenerate
in
this
Life
may
do
,
and
yet
not
love
God
with
that
Love
the
Law
requires
.
What
Contradiction
is
this
?
Is
not
this
Love
perfect
and
answerable
to
God's
Law
,
when
one
,
First
,
Loves
God
truly
;
Secondly
,
Grows
and
Increases
daily
in
this
true
Love
;
and
,
Thirdly
,
When
one
is
so
constant
in
the
same
,
that
nothing
can
draw
the
Soul
from
it
:
And
therefore
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
Rom.
8.3
,
&c.
That
which
the
Law
could
not
do
,
in
that
it
was
weak
through
the
Flesh
,
God
sending
his
own
Son
in
the
likeness
of
sinful
Flesh
,
and
for
Sin
condemned
him
in
the
Flesh
;
that
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
might
be
fulfilled
in
us
,
who
walk
not
after
the
Flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
.
Now
let
any
who
knows
God
,
give
in
his
Witness
,
if
this
Man
do
not
deny
the
very
End
of
Christ's
Coming
in
the
Flesh
,
which
was
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
here
,
to
fulfil
the
Law
in
and
for
his
People
,
that
they
might
love
the
Lord
their
God
in
Christ
Jesus
,
with
all
their
Heart
,
Soul
,
and
Might
,
according
to
his
Holy
Law
;
as
one
well
said
,
That
which
the
Law
requireth
,
the
Gospel
fulfilleth
.
But
such
Men
as
this
,
who
flatters
the
faln
Sons
and
Daughters
of
Adam
,
by
pleading
for
respect
to
their
Persons
,
knows
nothing
of
the
Matter
in
themselves
,
but
only
as
they
imagine
from
the
Letter
without
,
they
tell
every
Man
his
Dream
to
his
Neighbour
,
and
so
by
their
false
Doctrines
,
and
Self-contradictions
,
as
is
manifest
here
,
do
daily
make
the
shame
of
their
Nakedness
appear
,
and
their
Envy
to
the
Servants
of
God
,
whom
they
Reproach
under
the
Name
of
Quakers
,
appears
very
much
in
such
sayings
as
he
there
sets
down
saying
,
This
serves
to
reprove
the
Quakers
who
are
possessed
of
Perfection
through
Satan's
Pride
;
and
adds
,
O
that
ever
a
poor
Worm
of
the
Earth
,
a
very
Lump
of
Sin
and
Corruption
,
to
think
that
he
dare
look
God
in
the
Face
in
a
sinless
Condition
!
These
need
not
a
Psalm
of
Mercy
,
saith
the
Lying
Spirit
in
this
Sam.
Smith
that
writ
that
Book
,
these
will
not
be
beholding
to
Christ
.
To
which
I
answer
and
say
,
First
,
It
's
Blasphemy
to
say
,
That
the
Regenerate
Man's
sinless
Perfection
is
proud
Satan's
Work
:
For
it
is
Christ's
Blessed
Work
to
perfect
his
Saints
,
as
Eph.
4.12
,
13
,
14.
and
Chap.
5.25
,
26
,
27.
And
Secondly
,
It
's
a
false
Slander
,
and
unjust
Accusation
of
us
,
whom
the
World
calls
Quakers
,
to
say
,
That
we
either
say
or
think
,
that
any
Worm
of
the
Earth
,
or
Lump
of
Sin
and
Corruption
,
either
dares
,
or
ever
possibly
can
look
God
in
the
Face
,
or
ever
attain
to
a
sinless
Condition
;
for
Earth
,
Sin
and
Corruption
,
cannot
enter
into
God's
Kingdom
,
or
inherit
Incorruption
:
But
this
we
say
,
That
the
Regenerate
who
are
Born
again
,
even
Born
of
God
,
of
the
Incorruptible
Seed
of
his
Heavenly
Ever-living
Word
,
are
sinless
and
perfect
in
Christ
Jesus
,
with
whom
they
are
one
,
and
in
him
do
in
all
Holy
Humility
and
Acceptance
with
the
Father
,
stand
before
his
Throne
,
where
no
Earth
,
nor
lumps
of
Sin
and
Corruption
,
nor
no
false
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
,
nor
Respecter
of
Persons
,
can
ever
come
.
Again
,
whereas
this
Man
Sam.
Smith
saith
,
The
Evangelical
Love
(
before
described
)
is
far
short
of
that
Love
the
Law
requireth
,
is
a
false
Witness
and
Accuser
of
Christ
,
as
though
he
came
to
destroy
or
make
void
the
Law
;
But
do
not
think
,
saith
Christ
,
that
I
came
to
destroy
the
Law
or
the
Prophets
,
but
to
fulfil
:
And
is
not
this
the
great
Thing
and
Sum
of
all
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
,
thou
shalt
love
the
Lord
God
with
all
thy
Soul
,
Mind
and
Strength
?
And
doth
not
Christ
the
Power
of
God
,
fulfil
this
in
his
Members
?
Yea
,
yea
,
as
Paul
said
expresly
in
Rom
8.4
.
before
mentioned
,
That
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
might
be
fulfilled
in
us
,
who
walk
not
after
the
Flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
:
But
now
such
as
profess
the
Letter
,
and
want
the
Life
,
and
so
walk
not
after
the
Spirit
,
but
the
Flesh
,
these
do
not
love
wholly
,
nay
,
not
at
all
in
Truth
,
and
so
with
this
Smith
,
are
Breakers
of
the
Law
of
God
,
and
so
not
at
all
in
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
The
next
thing
observable
in
this
wretched
Man's
Book
aforesaid
,
called
,
The
Looking-glass
,
is
his
grievous
Opposition
against
the
Doctrine
of
Perfection
.
Where
he
saith
,
That
there
is
none
so
Godly
,
Righteous
or
Religious
here
in
this
Life
,
or
can
attain
to
that
Measure
of
Grace
,
to
be
Perfect
,
but
stands
in
need
of
the
Exhortation
,
Prayers
,
and
Godly
Advice
of
others
.
To
which
I
answer
and
say
,
That
though
godly
Exhortation
,
Prayers
,
and
Advice
amongst
Brethren
of
Christ
be
lovely
,
yet
for
him
to
say
,
There
is
none
so
perfect
,
but
stands
in
an
absolute
Necessity
of
these
from
Man
,
is
not
true
;
for
the
Apostle
speaking
not
to
the
Teachers
only
,
but
to
the
Brethren
of
Christ
in
general
,
1
John
2.27
.
These
Things
I
have
written
to
you
concerning
them
that
seduce
you
,
but
the
anointing
which
ye
have
of
God
the
Holy
One
,
teacheth
you
all
things
,
and
you
need
not
that
any
Man
teach
you
,
but
as
that
teacheth
you
,
&c.
and
you
know
all
things
:
And
these
things
,
saith
another
Apostle
to
the
Brethren
,
do
I
write
unto
you
by
way
of
remembrance
,
(
not
absolute
Necessity
,
as
this
Man
speaks
)
to
stir
up
your
pure
Minds
.
And
this
Doctrine
of
the
Hirelings
,
is
only
to
keep
up
their
Masterly
Power
over
the
poor
Peoples
Consciences
;
and
indeed
denies
the
Gift
of
God's
Spirit
,
and
coming
of
Christ
in
the
Flesh
,
and
the
very
End
of
his
Ministry
,
which
was
for
the
perf●cting
of
the
Saints
,
even
in
this
Life
.
See
Eph.
4.
at
large
.
But
the
Hirelings
Doctrine
,
which
perfects
nothing
but
Sin
,
keeps
People
always
learning
,
laden
with
divers
Sins
and
Lusts
,
but
never
brings
them
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
which
sets
free
from
Sin
;
and
therefore
from
such
,
according
to
Christ's
Doctrine
,
ought
all
People
to
turn
away
.
But
what
,
must
this
Sam.
Smith
,
and
his
Fellows
,
who
would
be
accounted
Masters
of
Assemblies
,
be
taught
of
others
?
Indeed
they
stand
in
need
of
teaching
;
for
they
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
them
,
and
therefore
they
cannot
profit
the
People
at
all
,
as
is
here
manifest
.
The
Reasons
of
this
Smith
for
denying
Perfection
,
saith
he
,
is
,
Because
the
Best
of
God's
Saints
and
Servants
in
this
Life
are
not
capable
of
Perfection
.
And
is
any
Child
,
saith
he
,
put
by
his
Master
into
the
highest
Form
the
first
day
he
comes
to
School
?
Or
doth
he
not
lead
him
on
by
degrees
?
The
Apostles
themselves
,
that
had
the
Spirit
,
and
so
in
a
Capacity
of
more
plentiful
Revelation
than
we
are
,
yet
Christ
tells
them
,
he
had
many
things
to
tell
them
,
but
they
could
not
bear
them
then
.
And
for
this
he
brings
John
16.12
.
To
which
I
answer
,
That
this
Man
here
doth
manifestly
abuse
Scripture
,
and
by
that
the
Nature
of
his
Naughty
Spirit
in
all
his
Discourse
is
easily
seen
.
For
here
he
saith
,
they
had
the
Spirit
,
and
yet
could
not
bear
Christ's
words
,
whereas
Christ
in
that
place
makes
the
want
of
the
coming
of
the
Spirit
,
the
very
Cause
why
they
could
not
then
bear
his
words
;
and
therefore
he
saith
in
the
very
next
words
,
in
that
of
John
16.13
.
Howbeit
when
the
Spirit
of
Truth
is
come
,
he
will
guide
you
into
all
Truth
,
and
shew
you
things
to
come
.
And
so
this
Smith
is
one
of
them
that
abuses
and
wrests
Scripture
,
tending
to
his
own
and
others
Destruction
.
But
whereas
he
saith
,
That
the
Apostles
who
had
the
Spirit
,
were
capable
of
a
more
plentiful
Revelation
than
they
are
,
that
's
true
;
for
they
,
to
wit
,
such
Hirelings
and
Wresters
of
Scripture
,
as
this
Smith
is
,
are
Sensual
,
not
having
the
Spirit
,
and
so
are
far
from
receiving
any
Vision
or
Revelation
from
God
,
seeing
it
's
their
common
Doctrine
to
deny
Immediate
Teachings
and
Revelations
from
God
,
for
that
's
ceased
,
say
they
.
But
for
him
to
say
,
as
these
his
words
would
insinuate
,
That
the
Apostles
in
those
Days
were
capable
of
more
plentiful
Revelation
than
any
are
in
these
Days
,
is
false
;
for
God
is
the
same
to
his
now
as
then
;
and
such
as
are
Faithful
in
a
little
now
,
shall
be
Ruler
over
much
,
as
well
as
formerly
;
and
saith
Christ
,
I
pray
not
for
these
only
,
but
for
all
that
shall
believe
on
me
through
their
words
,
that
they
may
be
one
,
as
we
are
One.
And
for
his
Reason
or
Proof
,
That
the
Best
of
the
Best
of
the
Saints
and
Servants
of
God
in
this
Life
,
are
not
capable
of
Perfection
,
the
very
Child
,
or
School-boy
he
speaks
of
,
may
come
forth
and
confute
it
:
For
what
though
a
Scholar
be
not
perfect
in
his
Book
at
first
,
doth
it
follow
that
he
never
shall
be
while
he
lives
?
He
may
as
well
say
so
as
the
other
,
for
his
Comparison
doth
utterly
make
void
his
false
Doctrine
against
Perfection
,
as
Experience
of
all
Men
,
both
Masters
and
Scholars
,
proves
.
But
what
a
Mountain
of
Enmity
is
risen
up
in
these
Deceitful
Teachers
of
these
Times
,
(
who
love
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
)
against
that
Heavenly
Doctrine
of
sinless
Perfection
,
is
manifest
to
all
in
this
,
that
though
they
can
allow
of
a
Perfection
in
all
Arts
and
Sciences
in
their
kinds
,
yea
,
and
of
a
Perfection
in
the
growth
of
all
other
Creatures
in
this
kind
,
but
cannot
endure
to
hear
tell
of
,
much
less
to
allow
of
a
Perfection
in
the
Children
of
the
Everlasting
Father
,
God
over
all
,
who
is
this
Day
well
witnessed
upon
his
Throne
,
Ever
Praised
be
his
Name
,
bringing
forth
his
Heavenly
Birth
,
and
Babes
,
and
so
making
all
things
new
.
But
who
ever
,
but
this
Slanderous
Spirit
in
this
Smith
,
said
,
That
though
People
have
lived
in
Drunkenness
,
Swearing
,
and
open
Prophaneness
many
Years
,
yet
if
but
once
come
to
be
lifted
(
as
he
scornfully
calls
it
)
into
that
Society
,
(
to
wit
,
of
such
as
he
and
the
rest
of
the
World
in
Scorn
call
Quakers
)
that
presently
they
are
perfect
,
and
without
Sin
?
And
then
like
the
troubled
Sea
he
foams
out
his
own
Shame
,
and
adds
,
saying
in
that
forementioned
Book
,
I
Challenge
all
the
Quakers
on
Earth
,
and
in
Hell
,
to
give
a
sober
answer
to
these
Texts
of
Scripture
,
Eccles
7.2
.
1
Kings
8.46
.
Prov.
20.9
.
Answer
.
By
these
words
of
this
Enemy
of
God
,
and
his
Perfect
Work
in
his
Saints
,
any
who
judge
in
the
Light
of
God
in
the
least
measure
,
may
see
the
Rancour
and
Malicious
Blind
Nature
of
that
Spirit
by
which
he
was
acted
;
O!
that
ever
Men
should
take
upon
them
to
be
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
(
as
such
would
be
accounted
)
and
yet
utter
such
base
words
:
Did
ever
any
Enemy
of
Truth
,
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
to
this
Day
,
make
such
a
Challenge
?
What!
must
People
come
out
of
Hell
to
give
thee
a
Sober
Answer
?
What!
hath
Passion
and
Envy
so
blinded
thy
Heart
,
as
to
imagine
that
the
Inhabitants
of
Hell
can
resolve
Questions
,
and
that
in
soberness
;
nay
,
nay
,
they
must
be
Heavenly
People
that
give
truly
sober
Answers
in
such
weighty
Matters
as
these
;
and
therefore
thy
unsober
,
wild
words
in
these
Matters
,
shews
where
thy
Dwelling
is
,
to
wit
,
not
in
Heaven
amongst
the
Saints
and
Spirits
of
Just
Men
made
perfect
,
but
in
the
Earthly
,
Sensual
and
Devilish
Wisdom
,
amongst
those
who
are
Enemies
to
Truth
and
Perfection
,
and
so
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
who
plead
for
Sin
during
tearm
of
Life
,
and
not
of
Christ
,
who
came
for
that
very
end
to
perfect
his
Saints
,
and
to
present
them
himself
even
in
this
Life
,
without
spot
,
or
wrinkle
,
or
any
such
thing
,
Eph.
5.25
,
&c.
And
so
the
Reproachful
and
Malicious
words
of
this
Sam.
Smith
against
the
People
of
God
called
Quakers
,
and
their
Holy
Doctrine
of
Perfection
put
aside
,
I
say
concerning
those
Scriptures
he
mentions
,
and
first
to
that
Eccles.
7.20
.
For
there
is
not
a
Just
Man
upon
Earth
,
that
doeth
good
,
and
sinneth
not
;
that
Solomon
here
speaks
of
Men
under
the
Law
,
and
of
the
Generation
of
the
First
Adam
in
the
Fall
,
amongst
whom
there
is
not
indeed
a
Just
Man
that
doeth
good
and
sinneth
not
;
but
this
doth
not
make
void
the
Covenant
of
God
with
his
Elect
,
in
Christ
Jesus
the
Second
Adam
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
;
for
as
is
the
Heavenly
,
so
are
they
that
are
Heavenly
.
And
so
whosoever
is
Born
of
God
,
and
abideth
in
Christ
,
sinneth
not
;
for
he
that
sinneth
hath
neither
seen
Christ
,
nor
known
Christ
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
expresly
in
1
John
3.6
,
9.
And
herein
is
that
saying
true
,
1
John
last
,
If
we
say
we
have
not
sinned
,
(
to
wit
,
in
the
First
Adam
,
or
Flesh
)
we
make
God
a
Liar
;
but
now
being
Translated
out
of
that
Kingdom
of
Darkness
,
into
the
Kingdom
of
the
Dear
Son
of
God
,
the
Light
;
we
put
on
Christ's
Nature
,
which
is
Holiness
and
Righteousness
,
without
which
none
shall
see
God
;
Blessed
be
God
for
his
Unspeakable
Rich
Gift
.
And
so
though
in
the
First
Man
's
faln
Nature
there
is
Sin
and
Death
,
yet
in
Christ
Jesus
there
is
Life
,
Righteousness
,
and
Everlasting
Peace
:
And
if
thou
wouldst
not
have
Death
,
the
Wages
of
Sin
,
thou
must
come
out
of
the
Flesh
into
the
Spirit
of
Christ
,
where
Life
and
Everlasting
Peace
is
witnessed
.
This
is
the
Day
of
the
Lord
's
Mighty
Working
,
wherein
he
is
separating
the
Sheep
from
the
Goats
,
and
making
the
difference
plain
and
manifest
betwixt
such
as
serve
God
,
and
such
as
serve
Sin
.
And
for
that
other
Scripture
,
1
Kings
8.46
.
which
saith
,
There
is
no
Man
that
sinneth
not
,
it
must
in
like
manner
be
understood
as
the
former
,
to
wit
,
of
Man
in
the
First
Adam
,
or
faln
Fleshly
Nature
,
where
all
have
sinned
,
and
come
short
of
the
Glory
of
God
;
and
in
which
state
of
Sin
and
Unbelief
whosoever
abide
,
they
do
sin
daily
:
But
this
toucheth
not
at
all
the
sinless
and
perfect
state
of
the
Children
of
God
in
Christ
Jesus
,
where
Sin
,
which
is
the
Devil's
Work
,
comes
not
,
as
was
said
before
;
for
the
Prince
of
this
World
hath
no
part
in
me
,
saith
Christ
:
And
therefore
who
art
thou
that
lays
Sin
to
the
Charge
of
God's
Elect
?
Thy
own
words
shall
be
thy
Burden
,
but
Peace
on
God's
Israel
for
Evermore
.
And
for
that
third
Scripture
,
Prov.
20.9
.
Who
can
say
,
I
have
made
my
Heart
clean
,
I
am
pure
from
my
Sin
?
I
say
,
No
Man
can
say
that
he
hath
made
himself
so
,
though
in
Christ
Jesus
he
is
so
;
for
not
of
our selves
,
but
of
God's
alone
Mercy
and
Free-gift
in
Christ
Jesus
,
it
comes
to
pass
that
the
Elect
Vessels
are
cleansed
and
made
pure
in
Heart
,
according
to
that
well-known
place
,
Eph.
5.25
,
26
,
27
Christ
gave
himself
for
his
Church
,
that
he
might
sanctifie
and
cleanse
it
,
with
the
washing
of
Water
,
by
the
Word
,
that
he
might
present
it
himself
a
Glorious
Church
,
not
having
spot
,
or
wrinkle
,
or
any
such
thing
;
but
that
it
should
be
holy
,
and
without
blemish
.
Is
not
here
a
Company
made
clean
indeed
,
yea
,
clean
at
Heart
,
and
pure
from
Sin
in
and
by
Christ
Jesus
:
Therefore
let
all
the
Enemies
of
Christ
,
and
his
perfect
Work
,
be
silent
for
ever
.
So
be
it
.
But
above
all
,
it
seems
strange
what
he
sets
down
in
that
Defiling
Book
called
The
Looking-glass
,
where
he
saith
,
That
Philpot
,
Bradford
and
Cranmer
confessed
,
That
they
were
vile
sinful
and
wretched
Hypocrites
,
even
at
the
State
when
to
be
burnt
for
their
Religion
.
I
say
,
either
he
,
or
the
Printer
or
Relator
of
the
History
,
or
all
of
them
,
do
greatly
wrong
them
Sufferers
,
or
else
their
Condition
is
greatly
to
be
lamented
,
who
had
so
much
Zeal
and
Boldness
as
to
Suffer
for
the
sake
of
their
Conscience
,
and
yet
had
so
little
Knowledge
and
Understanding
of
the
Mystery
of
God
and
Christ
,
as
not
to
know
the
washing
of
Regeneration
,
and
renewing
of
the
Holy
Ghost
no
better
.
But
we
leave
this
,
and
so
proceed
to
see
what
there
is
in
those
Scriptures
,
which
he
saith
the
Quakers
make
so
much
use
of
,
to
prove
Sinless
Perfection
.
The
first
is
,
Psal.
37.37
.
Mark
the
Perfect
Man
,
and
behold
the
Vpright
,
for
the
end
of
that
Man
is
Peace
.
The
second
is
,
Heb.
6.1
.
Therefore
leaving
the
Principles
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
let
us
go
on
to
Perfection
.
The
third
is
,
1
Cor.
2.6
.
Howbeit
we
speak
Wisdom
among
them
that
are
perfect
.
The
fourth
is
,
2
Cor.
13.11
.
Finally
Brethren
farewel
,
be
perfect
.
To
all
which
I
say
,
It
's
most
plain
to
every
pure
Eye
,
that
these
Scriptures
,
with
many
more
that
might
be
brought
to
the
same
purpose
,
prove
sufficiently
a
Sinless
Perfection
,
otherwise
it
is
no
Perfection
at
all
if
not
Sinless
of
God's
working
,
for
every
Work
of
God
is
Sinless
and
Perfect
;
for
that
Perfection
which
is
in
or
with
Sin
,
is
the
Work
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
and
is
that
Perfection
which
pleaseth
his
vile
sinful
hypocritical
Members
so
well
.
And
so
whosoever
marks
and
beholds
this
imperfect
and
unbelieving
Generation
,
shall
plainly
see
their
End
is
Trouble
and
Misery
;
and
therefore
it
is
that
our
words
which
we
speak
this
day
from
the
Lord
,
concerning
the
great
things
of
his
Kingdom
,
are
accounted
no
better
than
Folly
and
Error
amongst
these
sinful
Opposers
of
God's
Work
of
Sinless
Perfection
in
his
Saints
;
and
so
these
Opposers
are
never
going
on
to
God's
Perfection
,
but
backwards
from
that
of
God
in
them
,
which
should
lead
them
to
God
,
and
so
their
Back
and
not
their
Face
turned
to
God
,
they
are
ever
learning
,
but
never
able
to
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
which
perfects
to
God
all
that
come
to
it
:
And
so
how
can
they
for
shame
exhort
their
Hearers
to
Perfection
,
who
are
themselves
the
great
Opposers
of
God's
perfect
Work
in
his
People
,
above
all
others
.
To
conclude
.
That
which
remains
at
present
to
be
spoken
to
that
filthy
Looking-glass
,
is
to
wipe
off
a
heap
of
Lies
and
Dirt
,
which
he
hath
falsly
charged
upon
the
Innocent
and
Harmless
People
of
God
called
Quakers
;
as
in
p.
249.
where
he
saith
,
That
we
disown
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
and
his
Gospel
,
the
Word
preached
by
his
Ministers
,
Church-order
,
Baptism
,
and
Supper
of
the
Lord
,
Prayer
,
Singing
of
Psalms
,
the
Publick
Ministry
,
as
no
Ministry
of
Jesus
Christ
.
Albeit
,
saith
he
,
God
hath
set
his
Seal
thereto
in
the
Conversion
of
many
Souls
.
To
all
which
in
a
word
I
answer
and
say
,
The
Lord
both
hath
and
yet
will
rebuke
that
Lying
Spirit
by
which
this
Book
was
written
.
And
in
particular
to
the
several
parts
of
this
false
and
notorious
lying
Charge
against
us
,
I
say
,
That
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
and
his
everlasting
Gospel
,
we
dearly
love
and
own
,
and
the
Word
preached
by
his
Ministers
,
but
not
the
Ministers
of
Antichrist
,
we
dearly
own
and
delight
in
;
for
the
Word
of
God
which
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
which
he
sends
,
preach
,
is
Spirit
and
Life
,
not
the
dead
Letter
,
for
the
dead
Letter
which
the
Hirelings
preach
for
filthy
Lucre
,
we
know
to
be
no
better
than
Chaff
,
compared
with
that
living
Word
which
the
Ministers
of
Christ
preach
,
for
the
Letter
of
the
Hireling
killeth
,
but
the
Spiritual
Word
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
gives
Life
;
the
Word
of
the
Lord
in
the
Mouth
of
Christ's
Ministers
which
we
own
,
is
the
Savour
of
Life
to
Life
,
and
of
Death
to
Death
.
But
so
is
not
the
false
frothy
Doctrine
of
the
Hireling
and
false
Accuser
,
such
as
this
Sam.
Smith
,
who
wrote
this
Book
which
we
disown
is
nothing
worth
,
and
therefore
cannot
profit
the
People
at
all
:
And
therefore
he
tells
a
great
Lye
,
in
saying
,
That
God
hath
set
his
Seal
to
the
Ministry
of
such
as
have
run
and
God
never
sent
them
;
as
is
manifest
by
this
Man
,
who
is
not
ashamed
to
speak
all
manner
of
Evil
falsly
against
whom
the
Lord
hath
Blessed
for
his
Name
's
sake
;
for
those
whom
God
sends
,
are
one
with
,
and
not
against
,
such
as
are
of
God
.
But
because
he
neither
knows
the
Father
,
nor
Christ
,
therefore
he
thinks
he
doth
well
,
to
persecute
and
revile
us
with
all
slanderous
words
,
which
will
be
his
own
Burden
in
God's
Judgment-day
.
And
for
Church
.
Order
,
it
's
manifest
by
the
Walking
of
our
Members
who
owns
it
most
,
for
they
who
walk
most
orderly
in
Life
and
Conversation
,
own
Church-Order
indeed
;
but
those
that
live
Disorderly
and
know
not
so
much
as
a
Bridle
to
their
Tongue
,
are
the
Diso●wne●
and
Breakers
of
the
Good
Order
of
Christ's
Church
and
Spirit
.
But
what
is
that
Baptism
he
saith
we
disown
?
For
the
Baptism
o●
Christ
,
which
is
but
one
,
by
that
one
Spirit
of
Truth
into
one
Body
we
dearly
love
and
own
,
for
in
it
are
we
presented
Clean
to
God
,
ever
Praised
be
his
Name
:
But
that
Baptism
which
the
Hirelings
use
and
plead
for
,
for
which
there
is
no
Scripture
,
we
cannot
own
,
for
if
we
should
,
then
should
we
disown
the
Light
of
Christ
,
which
makes
it
manifest
to
be
vain
and
nothing
.
And
for
the
Lord's
Supper
,
we
cannot
but
love
and
own
it
with
our
very
Souls
,
for
it
is
our
Souls
Food
,
and
the
Lord
is
known
to
us
,
and
in
us
,
daily
,
by
breaking
of
his
Heavenly
Bread
in
the
midst
of
us
,
as
he
said
,
Behold
I
stand
at
the
door
and
knock
,
if
any
Man
open
to
me
,
I
will
come
in
and
Sup
with
him
,
and
he
with
me
.
And
for
Prayer
to
God
,
both
Publick
and
Private
,
those
that
say
we
disown
this
,
do
plainly
manifest
that
they
know
little
of
us
or
our
Practices
,
but
are
shameless
Forgers
of
Lies
against
the
Innocent
;
for
which
,
and
for
all
their
Sins
,
God
will
judge
them
,
it
is
so
.
But
for
Singing
of
Psalms
,
what
hath
this
false
Accuser
of
the
Brethren
to
do
with
Singing
?
For
not
Singing
,
but
Mourning
,
is
the
suitable
Exercise
for
the
Wicked
,
What
will
ye
yet
Sing
and
Rejoyce
and
make
Merry
over
the
Witnesses
of
God
which
ye
have
slain
in
your
.
Streets
,
and
over
the
Lamb
that
lyes
slain
in
the
Streets
of
your
Spiritual
Sodom
and
Egypt
,
where
our
Lord
was
Crucified
:
But
the
Days
of
Mourning
are
at
hand
to
all
that
now
sing
in
Sin
,
and
the
Days
of
Darkness
to
them
will
be
many
:
But
Peace
upon
the
Israel
of
God
,
in
whose
Book
our
Names
are
Recorded
by
the
ever-blessed
Finger
of
our
God
,
ever
Praised
be
his
Name
,
who
hath
put
a
now
Song
into
our
Mouths
,
even
Psalms
of
Salvation
to
our
God
,
and
to
the
Lamb
,
for
ever
more
,
according
as
it
is
written
Rev.
14.1
,
&c.
And
I
looked
,
and
lo
,
a
Lamb
stood
on
the
Mount
Sion
,
and
with
him
an
hundred
forty
and
four
thousand
,
having
his
Father's
Name
written
in
their
Foreheads
.
And
I
heard
a
Voice
from
Heaven
,
as
the
Voice
of
many
Waters
,
and
as
the
Voice
of
a
great
Thunder
:
And
I
heard
the
Voice
of
Harpers
,
harping
with
their
Harps
.
And
they
sung
as
it
were
a
new
s●ng
before
the
Throne
,
and
no
Man
could
learn
that
song
,
but
the
Redeemed
from
the
Earth
.
These
are
they
that
were
not
Defiled
with
Women
,
for
they
are
Virgins
:
These
are
they
that
follow
the
Lamb
w●eresoever
he
goeth
:
These
were
redeemed
from
among
Men
,
being
the
First
fruits
unto
God
and
to
the
Lamb.
And
in
their
Mouth
was
found
no
Cu●le
,
f●r
●●ey
are
without
Fault
b●fore
the
Throne
of
God
.
And
what
will
not
all
this
perswade
our
Adversaries
that
there
is
singing
of
Psalms
among
us
,
and
that
Sinless
Perfection
is
not
the
Devil
's
,
but
God's
own
Doctrine
and
Work
,
and
attainable
by
the
Believers
in
the
Light
:
And
that
this
Man
,
who
writes
this
false
Looking-glafs
,
was
a
great
Enemy
of
God
,
and
Blasphemer
of
his
Heavenly
Tabernacle
,
in
charging
them
with
Gross
and
Absurd
Opinions
,
for
keeping
to
Yea
and
Nay
,
without
Swearing
,
in
all
things
;
and
holding
forth
the
immediate
Teaching
of
God's
Spirit
according
to
the
New
Covenant
,
which
saith
,
They
shall
all
be
taught
of
God
,
and
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
to
be
known
and
witnessed
in
Man
,
immediately
to
teach
him
,
and
to
write
his
Heavenly
Law
and
Doctrine
in
his
Heart
,
or
he
perishes
in
his
Sins
and
Ignorance
;
it
is
so
.

Letter

Adversary

J.
D.
IF
the
Wisdom
of
this
World
,
which
is
Foolishness
with
God
,
had
not
clouded
thy
Mind
,
thou
couldst
not
have
so
ju●ged
,
as
to
account
it
Foolishness
in
me
to
abide
in
Prison
;
whereas
thou
may'st
as
well
say
,
That
to
keep
a
good
Conscience
to
God
is
●●olishness
;
for
in
Obedience
to
God
,
and
for
doing
his
Will
,
have
I
suffered
amongst
you
these
many
Years
.
Also
whereas
thou
tookest
upon
thee
to
be
an
Instructer
,
saying
,
If
I
did
seek
unto
God
,
he
would
deliver
me
out
of
Prison
.
I
say
unto
thee
again
as
I
said
then
,
That
the
Lord
God
of
Life
and
Truth
,
the
True
God
over
all
,
Blessed
for
ever
,
hath
graciously
delivered
my
Soul
from
the
Pit
of
Darkness
and
Ignorance
,
Sin
and
Wi●●edness
,
in
which
the
whole
World
of
Unbelieving
People
,
who
receive
Honour
one
of
another
,
and
seek
not
the
Honour
that
comes
from
God
only
,
do
miserably
Lye
.
And
as
for
my
Body
,
it
is
offered
up
to
the
Lord
,
to
do
and
suff●●
according
to
his
Blessed
Will●●
.
And
〈◊〉
thee
plainly
,
and
all
People
in
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
〈◊〉
for
●oing
his
Blessed
Will
,
in
witnessing
in
his
Holy
Power
against
the
Wickedness
of
this
present
Evil
World
,
who
in
words
profess
they
know
God
,
but
in
Deeds
deny
him
,
as
is
too
manifest
to
every
one
who
do
not
willfully
blind
the
Eye
of
the
Understanding
,
for
because
of
Oaths
,
and
Drunkenness
,
and
Pride
,
and
Covetousness
,
and
Oppression
,
and
all
manner
of
Uncleanness
,
and
Unrighteousness
,
the
Land
Mourneth
,
and
the
Inhabitants
thereof
,
God
,
for
these
things
,
will
make
to
tremble
;
and
because
in
Obedience
to
Christ
I
cannot
join
with
you
in
these
Things
,
I
am
made
a
Prey
,
as
it
were
:
For
I
say
unto
thee
,
and
all
the
World
,
What
Evil
have
I
done
?
I
praise
the
Lord
I
am
not
conscious
in
my self
,
neither
have
my
Adversaries
made
it
manifest
,
of
doing
or
intending
the
least
Evil
to
the
King
,
or
any
Man
within
his
Dominions
,
but
have
endeavoured
to
my
Power
to
do
good
unto
you
all
;
and
so
the
Scripture
is
fulfilled
,
which
saith
,
They
hated
me
without
a
Cause

Hear
,
O
People
,
and
Fear
;
for
the
LORD
hath
spoken
.
THE
false
Teacher
,
the
Hireling
,
who
hath
run
and
God
never
sent
him
,
but
Preaches
for
Hire
,
and
Divines
for
Money
,
can
never
profit
your
Souls
,
O
People
,
at
all
;
but
with
their selfe
Dreams
,
and
lying
Divinations
,
and
empty
Sounds
,
they
deceive
your
poor
Souls
:
For
what
can
the
dead
words
of
a
d●●d
Man
,
(
dead
in
Sins
)
raise
up
your
dead
Souls
from
Death
to
Life
?
No
,
they
cannot
;
they
have
no
Life
in
them
;
and
such
who
have
no
Spiritual
Health
nor
Soundness
(
by
their
own
Confession
)
in
them
,
but
are
Miserable
Offenders
,
can
they
minister
any
healthful
or
sound
Doctrine
to
your
Souls
?
Nay
,
these
cannot
;
for
,
what
is
their
Chaff
to
the
Wheat
,
their
frothy
Words
to
the
powerful
Word
of
God
?
For
,
sow
a
Field
with
Chaff
,
and
what
a
Crop
can
you
expect
?
But
as
the
Prophet
saith
.
They
sow
the
Wind
,
and
reap
the
Whirlwind
:
So
cease
from
them
,
you
that
love
God
and
your
own
Souls
,
and
turn
to
God
;
for
I
Testifie
for
God
,
That
the
True
Ministry
,
the
Soul-saving
Ministry
of
Christ
Jesus
,
is
not
with
the
Parish-Hirelings
of
these
Days
;
for
neither
their
long
Black
Robes
,
nor
long
White
Surplices
,
nor
their
Humane
Learning
,
nor
the
Ordination
of
Man
,
Men
of
like
Nature
with
themselves
,
doth
any
more
conduce
to
the
making
of
them
able
Ministers
of
the
New
Covenant
,
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
the
Everlasting
Covenant
of
God
,
than
the
Grey
or
Brown
Coat
of
the
Plow-man
,
or
Artificer
,
or
the
Skill
of
the
Husbandman
in
Husbandry
;
or
the
Cunning
of
the
Cunning
Worker
in
Wood
,
Brass
,
or
Iron
,
doth
furnish
them
for
Gospel-service
;
for
the
Vision
of
God's
Kingdom
to
all
the
World
this
Day
,
both
Wise
and
Foolish
,
is
like
a
Book
sealed
,
as
the
Prophet
saith
,
which
is
given
to
the
Worldly-wise
to
read
,
and
he
cannot
read
it
,
because
it
's
seal'd
;
and
to
the
Foolish
,
and
he
cannot
read
it
,
because
he
is
unlearned
,
Isa.

,

so
though
in
the
World
there
is
a
difference
betwixt
the
Wise
and
Foolish
,
yet
as
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
there
is
none
;
for
the
Wisdom
of
this
World
is
foolishness
with
God
,
1
Cor.
1.10
,
&c.
for
that
which
lyeth
hid
from
all
Flesh
,
God
reveals
to
his
by
his
Spirit
;
for
the
Spirit
searcheth
all
things
,
yea
,
the
deep
things
of
God
,
1
Cor.
2.6
,

,

And
People
,
the
time
of
quickning
and
raising
up
of
many
that
were
dead
in
Sins
is
come
again
,
after
a
long
Night
of
Darkness
,
and
the
Dead
this
Day
hear
the
Voice
of
the
Son
of
God
(
not
of
main
Man
)
and
they
that
hear
do
live
,
John
5.25
.
So
People
,
look
to
your
Souls
;
for
though
your
Parish-Teachers
,
who
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
Divine
for
Money
,
and
love
to
go
in
their
Long
and
White
Robes
,
do
boast
of
their
being
come
out
of
Popery
,
yet
upon
the
Popish
Maintenance
of
Tythes
,
Glebe-lands
,
Easter-reckonings
,
Mortuaries
,
and
Moneys
for
Preaching
over
and
Burying
the
Dead
,
and
such
like
things
they
live
and
make
a
Prey
upon
,
not
willing
to
come
to
Christ
(
to
this
Day
)
as
the
first
Christians
did
,
for
a
thorough
Reformation
;
and
so
not
a
little
,
but
a
great
deal
of
the
Old
,
Soure
,
Popish
Leaven
,
being
yet
found
amongst
them
,
both
in
Doctrine
and
Practice
,
how
should
their
whole
Lump
but
be
very
sour
?
As
appears
by
their
Fruits
,
and
the
Fruits
of
such
as
follow
them
:
And
so
,
for
witnessing
in
Christ
against
them
for
these
evil
things
〈◊〉
suffer
Imprisonment
;
yet
,
through
God's
Mercy
inabling
me
thereunto
,
I
rejoice
,
and
can
truly
from
my
Heart
praise
the
Lord
,
that
hath
deliver'd
my
Soul
from
that
horrible
Pit
,
that
these
ungodly
Men
yet
remain
in
,
and
will
not
be
helped
out
of
.
And
ye
People
of
Stafford
,
for
your
sakes
it
was
that
the
Lord
by
my
Mouth
rebuked
the
Hireling
,
that
you
might
not
always
be
deceived
,
and
kept
in
Death
with
such
Dreamers
;
but
that
you
might
turn
to
the
Lord
God
,
from
all
such
,
to
know
his
Word
and
Spirit
,
that
made
you
,
in
you
,
to
teach
you
,
and
to
lead
your
Immortal
Souls
to
the
Springs
of
Living
Waters
;
for
you
have
too
long
dwelt
in
the
Wilderness
of
Sin
,
Ignorance
,
and
Vnbelief
,
and
now
it
is
high
time
for
you
to
Repent
,
and
come
to
know
the
Baptism
of
the
Holy
Ghost
and
Fire
,
which
is
Christ's
proper
Baptism
,

for
,
alas
!
you
have
but
hitherto
been
carried
on
by
the
Pharisees
in
the
outward
Shadows
and
Figures
of
Things
,
which
reach
not
the
Soul
,
to
purifie
and
perfect
it
unto
God
,
and
therefore
is
the
Lord
come
in
Mighty
Power
this
Day
,
to
break
in
sunder
all
the
Graven
Images
of
the
People
,
whether
under
the
Profession
of
the
Popish
or
Protestant
Religion
;
for
the
Lord
is
on
his
Throne
,
to
make
all
things
new
again
,
as
in
the
beginning
,
when
all
the
Sons
of
God
in
Holiness
sung
for
Joy
,
and
rejoiced
in
the
Lord
,
for
the
Blessed
Victory
they
had
got
through
the
Blood
of
the
Lamb
over
all
their
Souls
Enemies
.
But
Wo
and
Alas
for
you
,
the
Poor
People
of
Stafford
,
and
of
many
other
Places
,
who
are
under
the
Teachings
of
Worldly-minded
Men
,
Miserable
Offenders
,
like
your selves
,
always
doing
what
ye
should
not
do
,
and
leaving
undone
what
ye
should
do
,
and
so
without
all
Spiritual
Health
,
in
the
Miserable
Captivity
of
Sin
,
my
Soul
mourns
for
you
,
and
my
Sufferings
are
for
you
,
and
my
Soul
prays
for
you
,
that
you
may
be
recover'd
out
of
the
Snare
of
your
Soul's
Enemy
,
by
which
ye
are
led
Captive
at
his
Will
;
for
many
Days
and
Years
hath
my
Soul
mourned
for
you
,
and
been
oppressed
,
and
the
Lord
hath
called
to
you
early
and
late
to
Repent
,
and
lay
things
to
Heart
;
but
,
O
the
hardness
of
many
of
your
Hearts
,
and
the
carelesness
of
the
rest
!
O
,
why
will
ye
Die
?
Why
will
ye
linger
,
and
remain
still
in
Spiritual
Sodom
and
Egypt
,
where
the
Witnesses
lay
slain
?
Rev.
11.
So
whilst
ye
have
time
,
prize
it
,
left
the
Lord
lay
you
upon
a
Bed
of
Sorrows
,
where
no
Ease
is
,
and
say
unto
you
in
his
Wrath
,
I
gave
them
time
to
Repent
,
and
they
Repen●ed
not
.

HEAR
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
all
you
that
fear
to
offend
the
Lord
,
and
who
breathe
after
Righteousness
in
any
measure
,
and
yet
in
your
Ignorance
are
seeking
the
Living
among
the
Dead
,
the
Living
God
in
Dead
Observations
,
which
by
Tradition
you
have
received
one
from
another
,
and
not
from
the
Lord
Jesus
.
The
Day
is
come
,
wherein
by
the
Spirit
of
Jesus
it
is
witnessed
in
and
by
his
Living
Members
,
That
he
that
was
dead
is
now
alive
,
and
lives
for
Evermore
,
and
is
ascended
far
above
all
Heavens
,
and
out
of
all
Figures
and
Shadows
,
that
he
might
fill
all
things
with
his
Holy
Substance
:
And
as
in
former
Days
he
gave
some
Apostles
,
some
Prophets
,
some
Evangelists
,
and
some
Pastors
and
Teachers
,
for
the
Perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
for
the
Work
of
the
Ministry
,
for
the
Edifying
of
the
Body
of
Christ
,
till
we
all
(
saith
the
Apostle
,
to
wit
,
the
Heavenly
Body
,
not
the
Body
of
Sinful
Earthly
Flesh
)
come
in
the
Vnity
of
the
Faith
,
and
the
Knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God
,
to
a
perfect
Man
,
unto
the
Measure
of
the
Stature
and
Fulness
of
Christ
,
Ephes.

Even
so
the
Lord
is
now
giving
forth
of
his
Spirit
to
his
Children
,
Born
of
his
Spirit
,
for
enabling
them
in
this
Day
of
Restoration
,
for
the
Work
of
the
Ministry
,
for
the
perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
and
fitting
them
for
Glory
;
and
this
now
,
after
a
long
Night
of
Darkness
and
Desolation
,
is
to
the
Praise
of
his
Glory
,
who
hath
made
us
,
in
this
his
Blessed
Day
,
as
he
did
his
Faithful
Followers
in
the
Beginning
,
accepted
in
the
Beloved
,
to
shew
forth
his
Praises
to
Ages
to
come
,
whom
he
will
also
raise
up
by
Christ
Jesus
,
together
with
us
,
to
magnifie
his
Mercies
for
Evermore
.
But
that
the
Parish
Teachers
of
these
Times
,
who
Preach
for
Hire
,
and
Divine
for
Money
,
loving
to
be
called
of
Men
Master
;
and
like
the
Pharisees
of
old
,
love
to
go
in
Long
Robes
,
and
receive
Honour
one
of
another
,
John
5.
are
such
,
to
wit
,
so
given
of
Christ
,
and
begifted
from
Heaven
,
and
fitted
for
so
great
a
Work
,
as
to
perfect
the
Saints
,
as
those
before
(
in
Eph.
4.
)
mentioned
were
,
I
utterly
deny
,
and
their
Fruits
,
as
also
the
Fruits
of
their
Hearers
make
manifest
that
they
are
of
another
Sort
,
Seed
and
Generation
,
even
such
as
the
Prophet
Jeremiah
speaks
of
and
declares
against
,
who
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
them
:
For
why
?
they
waited
not
for
the
Word
of
God
to
speak
in
them
and
by
them
,
but
stole
the
Words
from
their
Neighbour
,
and
used
their
Tongues
to
say
,
The
Lord-saith
,
when
the
Lord
never
spoke
by
them
,
(
Ier.
23.30
.
)
and
therefore
,
saith
the
Lord
,
these
Teachers
shall
not
profit
the
People
at
all
(
Verse
32.
)
For
what
are
their
Chaffy
Words
to
the
Word
of
God
?
(
Verse
28.
)
So
the
Teachers
of
the
Parishes
this
day
get
into
the
Pulpit
with
the
Words
of
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
in
their
Hand
,
and
Sin
in
their
Hearts
,
as
those
other
did
,
dreaming
over
them
for
Filthy
Lucre
,
and
cry
to
the
People
,
BELOVED
,
(
yea
,
Beloved
,
because
they
put
into
their
Mouths
)
Hear
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
as
you
shall
find
it
written
in
such
a
Chapter
,
and
such
a
Verse
,
when
the
Lord
never
spoke
to
these
Hirelings
,
nor
sent
them
thus
to
preach
;
but
they
are
Men
made
Ministers
,
Men
of
the
Evil
World
,
and
great
Lovers
and
Pleaders
for
it
,
and
therefore
the
World
hears
them
,
1
John
4.5
.
But
●●e
true
Messenger
of
Christ
saith
for
himself
and
his
Brethren
,
We
are
of
God
,
and
the
whole
World
lieth
in
Wickedness
.
And
saith
Christ
.
to
his
Disciples
,
Ye
are
not
of
the
World
,
as
I
am
not
of
the
World
;
for
if
you
were
of
the
World
,
the
World
would
love
you
;
for
the
World
loves
its
own
;
but
now
I
have
chosen
you
out
of
the
World
,
therefore
the
World
hates
you
,
John
15.18
,
19.
So
all
People
fear
the
Lord
God
;
for
the
Name
of
Christians
,
without
the
Nature
of
Christ
,
will
do
you
no
good
at
all
;
for
the
Lord
is
come
to
search
all
that
called
Christendom
with
Candles
,
and
to
pull
down
the
lofty
Hearts
and
Looks
of
all
amongst
them
called
Christians
first
,
and
then
of
all
the
World
besides
;
for
now
is
the
Lord
exalting
his
great
Name
over
all
,
as
in
the
Beginning
,
before
the
Antichrist
,
Beast
,
False
Prophet
and
Whore
got
up
;
and
who
shall
stop
the
Passage
of
this
mighty
Jehovah
,
in
the
great
Work
of
setting
up
his
Kingdom
over
all
the
Kingdoms
of
the
Man
of
Sin
,
that
the
Kingdoms
of
this
World
,
may
become
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
whose
Right
alone
it
is
to
Rule
and
Reign
,
according
to
that
Saying
in
the
Prophet
,
I
will
Overturn
,
Overturn
,
Overturn
,
till
he
come
to
Rule
whose
Right
it
is
.
And
now
Wo
and
Misery
begins
to
take
hold
of
all
Hypocrites
,
and
all
the
Wicked
,
because
of
the
arising
and
appearing
of
the
great
God
from
Heaven
this
day
,
who
is
on
his
Throne
,
judging
in
Righteousness
,
and
in
Righteousness
making
War
,
whose
Fiery
Word
,
his
Two-edged
Sword
,
goes
out
of
his
Mouth
,
not
only
to
discover
,
but
also
to
destroy
and
consume
the
Man
of
Sin
in
all
the
Earth
.
And
now
the
Hireling
Teachers
of
all
sorts
,
the
Merchants
of
Mystery
Babylon
,
shall
cry
,
Alas
!
alas
!
that
great
City
,
People
begin
to
see
us
,
and
they
will
not
Trade
with
us
,
nor
buy
our
Merchandize
,
as
in
former
days
,
but
declare
against
it
,
see
Rev.
18.10
,
11.
O
,
yea
;
it
cannot
be
otherwise
;
for
now
the
Witnesses
that
lay
slain
in
the
Streets
of
the
great
City
,
Sodom
and
Egypt
,
Spiritually
so
called
,
are
arisen
,
and
stand
upon
their
Feet
,
praised
be
God
.
And
now
Judgment
is
given
to
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
God
,
Dan.

So
that
though
the
great
Antichrist
,
under
many
Shapes
and
Appearances
,
hath
spoken
great
words
against
God
,
his
Truth
and
People
,
and
hath
oppressed
the
Saints
;
yet
now
the
Judgment
of
God
being
set
against
him
,
his
Dominion
shall
be
consumed
and
destroyed
,
and
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
God
shall
have
Dominion
,
and
Reign
with
Christ
,
whose
Kingdom
is
an
Everlasting
Kingdom
,
and
all
Dominions
shall
serve
and
obey
him
,
to
wit
,
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
for
whose
Blessed
Name
and
Truth
's
sake
,
the
Holy
Tremblers
,
who
Tremble
at
his
Word
,
and
follow
him
in
the
Regeneration
,
do
this
day
suffer
;
it
is
so
.

Something
in
Answer
to
some
Passages
in
that
Wicked
Antichristian
Book
written
Catechism-wise
,
by
some
Popish
Stickler
for
his
Master
the
Pope
,
the
Romish
Antichrist
and
his
Followers
.
Printed
at
Douay
,
and
Subscribed
H.
T.
IN
his
second
Chapter
he
saith
,
Faith
is
necessary
to
Salvation
;
and
that
Faith
is
,
firmly
to
believe
Matters
of
Faith
,
because
God
hath
revealed
them
.
Then
say
I
,
Not
the
Pope
.
But
saith
he
again
,
It
is
not
enough
to
believe
all
that
is
written
in
the
Bible
,
but
we
must
believe
also
Apostolical
Traditions
,
citing
2
Thess.
2.15
.
Now
say
I
in
answer
hereto
,
That
through
wresting
and
abusing
of
this
Scripture
,
have
they
made
way
for
bringing
in
all
their
Filthy
Popish
Stuff
,
whereby
Thousands
,
and
Ten
thousands
,
of
poor
Peoples
Souls
,
both
have
been
,
and
are
at
this
day
miserably
deluded
;
for
certainly
the
Traditions
which
the
Apostle
there
tells
of
,
whether
by
Word
or
Epistle
,
where
all
of
one
nature
,
and
not
directly
contrary
or
contradictory
one
to
another
:
But
the
Popish
Traditions
,
though
they
may
falsly
call
them
Apostolical
,
are
directly
contrary
to
Holy
Scripture
.
But
saith
he
,
The
Apostles
Creed
is
not
in
the
Scripture
,
and
yet
is
to
be
believed
.
To
which
I
answer
,
If
the
Apostles
Creed
(
so
called
)
either
be
not
in
Scripture
in
so
many
words
,
or
do
not
wholly
agree
with
it
in
nature
,
we
are
not
to
believe
it
:
But
the
reason
why
we
believe
it
,
is
not
because
the
Pope
saith
it
is
Apostolical
,
but
because
rightly
Expounded
or
understood
(
but
not
with
the
Popish
or
other
wrong
Exposition
)
we
find
it
,
for
Substance
,
agreeable
to
Holy
Scripture
.
But
saith
he
,
If
a
Man
shall
deny
,
or
obstinately
doubt
of
one
Point
of
Faith
,
Would
he
thereby
lose
his
whole
Faith
?
Yes
,
saith
he
,
because
true
Faith
must
always
be
entire
;
and
be
that
faileth
in
one
,
is
made
guilty
of
all
,
by
discrediting
the
Authority
of
God
revealing
it
.
Then
say
I
,
Neither
to
Pope
,
nor
General
Councils
,
need
People
be
beholden
for
their
Faith
,
but
to
God
only
,
according
to
Christ's
words
,
John
6.45
.
They
shall
all
be
taught
of
God
.
But
now
mark
People
,
under
these
seeming
words
of
this
Sophister
,
what
a
World
of
Wickedness
lyeth
hid
:
For
though
he
use
the
words
(
of
God's
revealing
Faith
)
for
a
Cloak
,
yet
he
intendeth
nothing
so
indeed
:
For
if
I
,
or
another
Man
,
should
come
and
truly
say
,
God
hath
revealed
this
and
the
other
thing
to
be
his
Will
,
I
should
believe
,
and
that
by
his
Spirit
I
am
able
to
make
it
manifest
,
that
it
agrees
with
the
Scripture
of
Truth
;
yet
if
the
Pope
and
his
Councils
do
not
approve
of
it
,
it
shall
be
no
Faith
with
them
;
but
I
shall
be
accounted
an
Heretick
,
and
fit
to
be
Burned
,
where
they
get
Power
,
as
hath
been
manifoldly
proved
in
England
and
other
places
.
And
again
,
this
Wickedness
lyes
hid
under
his
words
,
That
if
a
Messenger
of
the
Pope
,
as
Jesuit
or
other
Priest
or
Teacher
of
them
,
say
to
the
poor
People
,
that
do
in
general
too
much
believe
their
False
Doctrines
and
Practices
,
yet
if
they
do
not
in
particular
believe
all
their
Superstitions
,
then
they
have
lost
all
their
Faith
,
and
so
consequently
are
Damned
.
If
they
be
told
,
I
say
,
that
they
must
say
so
many
Ave
Maries
,
so
many
Pater-nosters
,
do
such
Penance
,
observe
such
and
such
Saints-days
(
so
called
)
and
their
Eves
,
and
Ember-weeks
,
and
receive
such
and
such
for
their
Ghostly
Fathers
,
though
they
see
and
right-well
know
them
to
be
Sensual
and
meer
Carnal-minded
Men
,
and
what
not
,
that
these
Priests
commend
unto
them
for
Holy
.
Doctrines
and
Catholick
Practices
,
(
tedious
to
relate
)
If
they
do
not
believe
all
,
then
by
this
Man's
Doctrine
they
have
lost
all
their
Faith
:
And
why
?
Because
,
say
they
,
the
Pope
and
his
Councils
(
which
they
account
God's
revealing
,
for
no
other
God
they
look
at
to
teach
them
,
as
afterwards
in
this
his
Book
appears
)
have
said
it
must
be
so
.
O
the
miserable
Slavery
of
all
such
as
are
under
this
Hellish
Egyptian
Yoke
!
The
Lord
deliver
all
simple
Hearts
from
it
.
And
for
his
Worshipping
and
Praying
unto
Angels
,
as
also
Saints
,
which
here
and
elsewhere
he
mentions
,
and
brings
some
Scripture
wrested
,
as
their
Custom
is
,
seemingly
to
prove
it
:
That
one
Scripture
,
I
say
,
instead
of
many
others
,
which
might
be
brought
,
shall
serve
for
ever
to
dash
in
pieces
the
Head
of
that
Venomous
and
Idolatrous
Doctrine
and
Practice
of
Bowing
and
Praying
unto
Saints
and
Angels
,
where
it
is
said
,
That
to
God
in
Christ
,
every
Knee
in
Heaven
,
Earth
,
and
under
the
Earth
must
bow
,
and
every
Tongue
confess
.
And
when
he
brings
in
his
only
begotten
into
the
World
,
he
saith
,
Let
all
the
Angels
of
God
worship
him
:
And
therefore
the
Angel
in
Rev.
22.8
,
9.
utterly
denied
John's
worshipping
him
,
saying
,
Worship
God
.
And
in
Rev.
7.
The
whole
Company
both
of
Saints
and
Angels
fell
down
according
to
their
Duty
and
great
Engagement
,
and
did
worship
God
.
So
that
if
the
Saints
and
Angels
were
as
ready
,
and
as
well
pleased
,
to
receive
Honour
,
as
these
Superstitious
Men
are
to
give
it
them
,
they
would
lose
their
Holy
Place
,
and
be
like
them
;
for
saith
Christ
,
How
can
ye
believe
,
that
receive
Honour
one
of
another
,
and
seek
not
that
Honour
which
comes
from
God
only
?
John
5.44
.
But
truly
Holy
Saints
and
Angels
are
better
learned
than
so
,
and
therefore
abhor
all
Honour
,
but
that
which
comes
from
God
only
,
and
for
that
they
return
to
him
alone
as
his
due
,
all
Honour
,
Glory
and
Praise
;
saying
,
as
in
Rev.
4
last
,
Thou
art
worthy
,
O
Lord
,
to
receive
Glory
,
Honour
and
Power
,
for
thou
hast
created
all
things
,
and
for
thy
pleasure
they
are
and
were
created
.
And
so
true
Heaveny
Brethren
,
and
Fellow-Servants
and
Keepers
of
the
Commandments
of
God
,
as
all
true
Saints
and
Angels
,
whether
in
Heaven
or
Earth
,
are
,
look
not
for
Worship
one
from
another
,
but
gives
all
to
God
their
Maker
and
Saviour
to
whom
it
's
due
:
But
it
's
the
Devil
that
would
have
God's
Honour
from
him
to
himself
,
as
Matt.
4.9
,
10.
but
none
but
the
Wicked
will
give
it
him
.
And
then
,
if
the
Saints
and
Angels
themselves
be
not
to
be
worshipped
,
much
less
their
Pictures
:
Also
I
say
,
If
such
living
Images
of
God
and
Christ
,
as
Holy
Saints
and
Angels
are
,
are
not
to
be
worshipped
,
much
less
dead
Images
of
God
and
Christ
,
invented
by
Man's
Brain
,
and
framed
by
Man's
hand
,
are
to
be
adored
,
but
to
be
trampled
upon
,
as
Nehustan
that
little
piece
of
Brass
was
,
which
the
Children
of
Israel
Idolized
.
And
this
Popish
Book
,
speaking
of
the
Necessity
of
the
Incarnation
,
saith
,
If
it
had
not
been
,
scarce
one
of
a
Thousand
(
and
those
great
Clerks
only
)
would
have
known
God
to
any
Saving
Purpose
or
so
,
because
of
his
Spiritual
Sublimity
,
&c.
By
this
it
appears
,
how
perfectly
this
great
Clerk
is
ignorant
of
Truth
;
and
in
this
,
how
diametrically
opposite
to
the
Apostle's
Doctrine
,
1
Cor.
first
and
second
Chapters
;
for
there
he
makes
the
World's
Wisdom
in
general
,
Foolishness
with
God
;
and
in
particular
,
the
wisest
sort
of
them
farthest
from
the
Saving
Knowledge
of
God
:
And
so
attributes
all
Saving
Knowledge
to
the
alone
Revelation
of
the
Spirit
of
God
,
and
that
to
Babes
and
Sucklings
,
Matt.
11.
But
this
Sophister
imagines
,
great
Clerks
can
do
something
more
than
others
in
this
matter
.
And
it
were
well
if
all
Protestants
were
well
purged
of
this
bad
Disease
.
In
his
Fourth
Article
of
the
Greed
he
asks
,
Is
it
lawful
to
honour
the
Cross
?
Yea
,
saith
he
,
with
a
relative
Honour
:
Because
,
saith
he
,
it
is
a
special
Memorial
of
the
Passion
,
and
is
called
,
the
Sign
of
the
Son
of
Man
,
Matt.
24
20.
he
would
say
,
it
's
like
,
Verse
30.
To
which
I
say
,
It
's
a
meer
Dream
and
Falshood
,
to
call
an
outward
Cross
the
Sign
of
the
Son
of
Man
,
for
in
that
Scripture
there
is
not
the
least
Intimation
of
a
Cross
,
for
the
words
are
these
,
Then
(
to
wit
,
as
in
the
former
Verse
,
when
the
Powers
of
Heaven
shall
be
shaken
)
shall
appear
the
sign
of
the
Son
of
Man
in
Heaven
:
And
then
shall
all
the
Tribes
of
the
Earth
mourn
,
and
they
shall
see
the
Son
of
Man
coming
in
the
Clouds
of
Heaven
,
with
Power
and
great
Glory
.
The
Disciples
,
in
the
beginning
of
this
Chapter
,
asked
him
,
What
should
be
the
Sign
of
his
Coming
?
And
here
he
answers
them
,
(
Not
a
wooden
Cross
,
or
any
such
thing
,
but
)
the
fore-goings
of
Judgment
,
terrible
Judgments
,
as
is
here
mentioned
,
which
go
immediately
before
this
his
appearing
.
And
for
the
outward
Cross
,
being
a
special
Memorial
of
the
Passion
,
The
Apostles
had
other
ways
of
remembring
Christ's
Death
,
than
by
outward
Crosses
of
Wood
,
Gold
,
Silver
,
or
other
Metal
or
Stone
,
or
so
,
for
they
were
buried
with
him
into
the
likeness
of
his
Death
;
and
they
bore
in
their
Bodies
the
Marks
and
Dying
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
the
Vertue
of
Christ's
Passion
,
they
felt
daily
to
Crucifie
them
to
the
World
,
and
the
World
,
with
all
its
Evil
,
to
them
:
And
as
they
died
,
and
were
dead
to
Sin
,
they
were
made
alive
,
and
lived
to
God
;
and
so
Christ
lived
in
them
,
and
they
in
him
,
How
could
they
forget
one
another
?
And
thus
it
was
not
only
with
the
Apostles
,
but
with
all
the
true
and
living
Members
of
Jesus
,
standing
thus
in
the
Faith
in
those
Times
,
as
Scripture
plentifully
declares
;
and
neither
need
,
nor
mention
made
,
of
any
outward
Cross
,
to
put
them
in
mind
of
Christ's
Passion
,
seeing
they
daily
suffered
and
reigned
with
him
.
But
People
retaining
only
the
Name
of
Christians
,
but
falling
from
the
Faith
of
Christ
,
which
the
true
Saints
lived
in
,
then
came
up
this
Invention
of
outward
Crosses
and
Pictures
,
and
such-like
Smoak
out
of
the
Bottomless
Pit
,
for
Memorials
and
Teachers
to
the
poor
Carnal-minded
People
which
were
out
of
the
Faith
,
and
so
at
Enmity
against
God
:
But
Praises
to
the
Lord
,
saith
my
Soul
,
for
this
day
of
his
,
which
after
a
long
Night
of
Darkness
,
is
restoring
to
many
the
ancient
everlasting
Truth
,
which
all
Holy
Men
of
God
lived
by
:
And
now
Mystery
Babylon
;
with
all
her
Lovers
,
must
into
the
Lake
prepared
for
her
.
But
says
this
Dreamer
farther
,
The
Cross
was
that
blessed
Altar
on
which
Christ
offered
his
Bloody
Sacrifice
:
And
to
prove
it
brings
Gal.
6.13
.
Phil.
3.18
.
Ezek.
9.4
.
In
which
last
Scripture
he
says
,
Such
as
were
signed
with
the
sign
Tau
(
which
was
a
Picture
or
Figure
of
the
Cross
)
were
saved
from
the
exterminating
Angel
,
and
only
such
.
Now
to
this
I
say
,
it
is
meer
Deceit
:
And
adding
to
the
Scripture
this
Saying
of
his
,
for
there
is
mention
made
only
of
a
Mark
Vision-wise
,
but
nothing
at
all
what
Mark
it
was
,
neither
was
it
needful
,
for
to
mark
them
there
,
signifies
God's
special
Care
of
his
in
time
of
Judgment
,
and
not
an
outward
Cross
,
as
these
Dreamers
Dream
.
And
for
those
other
Scriptures
,
Gal.
6.
Phil.
3.
they
speak
not
of
the
outward
Cross
of
Wood
or
so
,
but
of
the
inward
Spiritual
Cross
,
the
Power
of
God
,
1
Cor.
1.17
,
18.
But
this
Man
,
by
calling
the
Cross
the
Altar
,
maketh
it
greater
than
Christ
;
for
saith
Christ
,
Matt.
23.19
.
Whether
is
greater
,
the
Gift
,
than
the
Altar
that
Sanctifies
it
?
And
thus
it
appears
,
how
near
unto
Blasphemy
are
all
Superstitious
and
Idolatrous
Minds
.
In
his
Exposition
of
the
Fifth
Article
of
the
Creed
,
he
saith
,
That
his
descending
into
Hell
meaneth
,
That
so
soon
as
Christ
was
dead
,
his
blessed
Soul
descended
into
Limbo
,
to
free
the
Holy
Fathers
who
were
there
.
And
for
proof
brings
Acts
2.2
,
24
,
27.
and
Eph.
4.8
.
And
then
asks
,
Did
he
not
also
descend
to
Purgatory
,
to
free
such
as
were
there
?
He
answers
,
It
is
most
probable
he
did
;
according
to
1
Pet.
3.19
,
20.
I
Answer
,
That
these
dark
Imaginations
are
poor
Grounds
for
People
to
place
Faith
,
and
so
Salvation
on
.
It
is
probable
,
saith
he
,
that
he
descended
to
Purgatory
:
And
what
,
is
it
more
than
probable
that
he
went
into
Limbo
?
Nay
,
nay
,
it
is
not
so
much
as
probable
that
he
went
into
either
,
for
those
Scriptures
he
brings
,
speaks
neither
of
Limbo
nor
Purgatory
;
and
so
there
being
no
such
Place
as
either
Limbo
or
Purgatory
,
as
Papists
Dream
,
how
could
he
descend
into
either
?
For
the
true
Place
of
Purging
,
is
through
Sanctification
of
the
Spirit
in
the
Belief
of
the
Truth
,
as
it
is
in
Jesus
,
in
this
Life
time
,
and
not
afterwards
:
And
the
Heil
which
Christ's
Soul
was
not
left
in
,
is
understood
,
when
he
said
,
My
God
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
And
for
his
Body
,
it
was
raised
out
of
the
Grave
,
and
so
the
true
Christ
saw
no
Corruption
,
as
the
Scripture
there
speaks
:
But
your
imagined
Breaden
Christ
will
Corrupt
.
But
for
this
Man's
Dream
of
Interpreting
the
Prison
to
be
Purgatory
,
which
Christ
by
his
Spirit
went
to
Preach
to
them
in
,
in
Noah's
time
,
that
were
Disobedient
,
and
that
not
till
after
he
was
Crucified
,
is
so
gross
,
that
it
needs
little
other
Confutation
than
the
very
mentioning
of
it
;
for
Christ
by
his
Spirit
in
Noah
Preached
to
them
in
that
Day
,
when
they
were
in
the
Prison
of
their
Sins
;
and
by
the
Spirit
that
raised
Jesus
from
the
Dead
,
have
the
Wicked
been
Warned
and
Preached
unto
in
all
Ages
.
And
he
saith
,
That
the
print
of
Christ's
Feet
are
to
be
seen
to
this
Day
upon
Mount
Olivet
,
from
whence
he
was
taken
up
:
I
say
,
what
if
it
were
,
will
you
go
to
Worship
it
,
as
you
do
a
Wood
or
Stone
Cross
?
But
I
do
no
more
believe
that
there
are
such
prints
,
than
I
do
your
other
Unscriptural
Superstitious
Imaginations
and
Inventions
.
But
to
Discredit
this
,
I
have
very
great
ground
,
considering
that
Christ
said
to
Mary
,
that
she
should
not
touch
him
(
in
an
outward
natural
manner
,
or
so
)
because
he
was
not
yet
ascended
,
John
20.17
.
because
there
is
danger
in
such
things
,
how
much
less
would
he
leave
prints
of
outward
Feet
for
Superstitious
Souls
to
Idolize
?
And
it
's
probable
,
for
this
very
Cause
was
the
Body
of
Moses
hid
from
the
Jews
,
lest
they
should
Idolize
it
.
Therefore
saith
Paul
,
a
Spiritual
minded
Man
,
for
himself
and
his
Brethren
,
Henceforth
know
we
no
Man
after
the
Flesh
;
yea
,
though
we
have
known
Christ
after
the
Flesh
,
yet
know
we
him
henceforth
so
no
more
;
for
he
that
is
in
Christ
is
a
New
Creature
,
2
Cor.
5.16
,
17.
When
will
Christendom
,
so
called
,
learn
this
Lesson
?
And
this
Book
saith
,
That
Christ
,
as
God
,
is
equal
with
the
Father
,
but
as
Man
,
is
in
the
highest
Created
Glory
.
I
answer
,
the
Scripture
saith
,
that
Christ
sitteth
,
or
sat
down
at
the
Right
Hand
of
the
Majesty
on
high
,
Heb.
1.3
.
Is
this
Created
?
And
he
asks
,
Is
there
any
Merit
in
our
Works
?
Yea
,
saith
he
,
as
in
Apoc.
22.12
.
I
say
,
that
Scripture
doth
not
say
,
for
the
Merit
of
Man's
Work
,
but
only
they
shall
receive
according
as
their
Work
is
:
But
pure
good
Works
are
rather
God's
than
ours
,
and
then
where
is
the
Merit
?
And
he
saith
,
The
Place
of
the
general
Judgment
shall
be
in
the
Valley
of
Jehosaphat
,
betwixt
Jerusalem
and
Mount
Oliver
.
I
answer
,
how
knows
he
that
?
How
is
it
he
mentions
no
Scripture
for
it
?
So
it
is
meer
Imagination
:
But
what
!
Must
People
lose
their
whole
Faith
,
if
they
believe
it
not
,
as
before
?
In
the
Ninth
Article
,
speaking
of
the
Church
,
he
saith
,
The
Church
is
the
Congregation
of
all
the
Faithful
,
under
Christ
their
Invisible
Head
,
and
his
Vicar
upon
Earth
,
the
Pope
.
But
how
proves
he
this
?
Neither
by
Scripture
,
nor
Apostolical
Tradition
,
for
which
he
brings
neither
,
for
there
is
none
for
certain
;
for
the
Church
hath
not
two
Heads
,
the
Church
is
not
a
Monster
with
two
Heads
,
one
Visible
,
to
wit
,
The
Pope
,
or
such-like
;
and
another
invisible
,
to
wit
,
Christ
:
Neither
is
the
Church
an
Adulteress
with
two
Husbands
,
one
visible
and
another
invisible
:
For
saith
the
Apostle
,
I
have
espoused
you
to
one
Husband
,
even
Christ
.
So
all
others
are
Antichrist
.
And
then
this
wicked
Book
farther
asks
,
What
are
the
Essential
parts
of
the
Church
?
And
to
that
it
answers
,
A
Pope
or
Supreme
Head
,
Bishops
,
Pastors
,
and
the
Laity
.
To
this
I
say
,
It
is
rank
Popish
Poison
:
And
what
Scripture
have
they
for
this
?
Surely
none
,
nor
Apostolical
Tradition-neither
,
for
the
Apostles
could
not
contradict
their
own
Writings
,
the
Scriptures
of
Truth
,
as
is
said
before
;
And
the
Scripture
doth
no where
make
the
Church
of
Christ
consist
of
such
Essentials
,
for
God's
Church
are
his
Cleroi
,
that
is
,
his
choice
ones
,
his
Lot
,
his
Heritage
,
his
Flock
all
of
them
,
1
Pet.
5.3
.
God's
Flock
are
every
one
of
them
sound
,
Sheep
and
Lambs
,
and
they
are
Men
,
God's
Cleroi
,
that
is
,
Clergy
,
and
not
Laity
;
and
the
word
Laity
is
Popish
and
Antichristian
,
as
well
as
the
Pope
.
And
for
the
true
Overseers
and
Pastors
,
Feeders
in
and
of
the
true
Church
,
What
have
you
to
do
with
them
?
unless
it
be
to
Persecute
them
,
as
your
Custom
hath
been
all
along
,
ever
since
Night
and
Darkness
came
upon
you
for
your
great
Apostasie
.
Then
this
blind
Guide
goes
on
asking
,
How
prove
you
St.
Peter
,
and
the
Pope
his
Successor
,
to
be
the
visible
Head
of
the
Church
?
He
answers
,
First
,
out
of
John
21.16
,
17
,
18.
Where
Christ
(
saith
he
)
for
a
Reward
of
his
special
Faith
and
Love
,
gave
Peter
absolute
Power
to
feed
and
govern
his
whole
Flock
,
yea
,
even
the
Apostles
themselves
to
be
his
Sheep
,
and
he
their
Head
and
Pastor
.
I
answer
,
This
is
a
most
shameless
Lie
:
For
Christ
was
so
far
,
in
those
words
,
from
giving
Peter
charge
of
Feeding
and
Governing
his
whole
Church
in
general
,
much
less
the
Apostles
in
particular
,
who
were
his
Equals
,
that
the
same
Charge
that
is
given
here
,
is
also
given
to
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
,
though
not
in
the
same
express
words
as
here
,
yet
in
words
of
the
same
import
fully
;
as
not
only
when
he
first
called
them
to
be
Fellow
Apostles
,
but
also
,
and
that
most
plainly
,
when
he
departed
from
them
,
as
in
Matt.
28.18
,
19
,
20.
where
it
is
said
,
And
Jesus
came
,
and
spake
unto
them
(
that
is
to
say
,
to
the
Eleven
,
for
Judas
was
gone
to
his
place
)
saying
,
All
power
in
Heaven
and
Earth
is
given
to
me
.
Go
ye
therefore
(
not
Peter
only
,
but
all
the
rest
as
well
as
he
)
and
teach
all
Nations
,
Baptizing
them
in
(
or
rather
into
,
as
the
Greek
there
truly
signifies
)
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
Son
and
Holy
Spirit
:
Teaching
them
to
observe
all
things
whatsoever
I
have
commanded
you
:
And
lo
,
I
am
with
you
(
to
wit
,
all
of
you
,
not
Peter
only
)
alway
,
even
to
the
end
of
the
World
.
Amen
.
And
whereas
this
Liar
says
,
It
was
for
Peter
's
special
Faith
and
Love
;
I
say
,
Peter
had
no
Faith
nor
Love
,
but
what
was
common
to
all
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
.
But
if
all
things
may
be
reckoned
,
he
had
but
little
Faith
nor
Love
neither
,
when
he
denied
his
Master
.
And
though
Christ
said
,
Lovest
thou
me
more
than
these
?
He
was
taught
by
his
former
forwardness
not
to
say
,
Yea
,
I
love
thee
more
than
they
all
,
but
humbly
in
the
sence
of
his
former
weakness
,
Lord
,
thou
knowest
that
I
love
thee
.
And
great
cause
had
he
to
love
Christ
greatly
,
seeing
he
had
Dishonoured
Christ
,
and
Wounded
his
own
Soul
,
by
Denying
and
Forswearing
Christ
more
than
they
all
.
And
so
no
Merit
in
Peter
for
any
thing
can
be
looked
at
,
but
God's
great
and
free
Mercy
,
in
not
only
forgiving
him
,
but
also
in
imploying
him
in
his
Service
again
.
So
let
your
unclean
Mouths
be
stopt
for
Ever
,
ye
Idolizers
of
Creatures
:
For
as
Paul
said
to
the
Corinthians
,
so
may
I
say
to
you
,
and
all
the
World
,
who
are
striving
about
Men
,
What
is
Paul
?
Or
what
is
Apollos
?
So
what
is
Peter
,
or
others
that
God
made
use
then
,
or
makes
use
of
now
,
as
Instruments
in
his
Hand
for
Peoples
good
,
but
even
as
nothing
,
seeing
Christ
is
all
,
and
in
all
?
And
with
him
there
conclude
,
Neither
is
he
that
planteth
nor
watereth
any
thing
,
but
God
that
giveth
the
increase

His
other
Proof
for
Peter's
Supremacy
,
is
out
of
Mat.
16.18
.
Thou
art
Peter
,
and
upon
this
Rock
will
I
build
my
Church
;
therefore
,
saith
he
,
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
were
built
on
him
;
and
hence
it
is
,
saith
he
,
as
often
as
they
are
mentioned
in
Scripture
he
is
named
first
.
To
which
I
answer
and
say
,
It
is
no
less
than
Blasphemy
to
say
,
That
either
the
Apostles
,
or
the
rest
of
the
Faithful
,
were
Built
upon
Peter
as
a
Man
;
for
it
contradicts
all
Scripture
,
which
every
where
give
the
Glory
of
being
the
Rock
,
the
Foundation
,
yea
,
and
Corner-stone
of
the
whole
Building
of
the
Church
of
God
,
to
Christ
alone
,
and
not
to
Peter
at
all
as
a
Man
;
for
what
is
said
here
of
Peter
,
hath
relation
only
and
altogether
to
the
Faith
of
Christ
the
Rock
,
here
confessed
only
unto
by
Peter
,
but
given
of
the
Father
.
And
Peter
himself
says
expresly
,
that
the
rest
of
the
Faithful
in
those
Days
had
obtained
like
Precious
Faith
with
him
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Apostles
.
See
2
Pet.
1.1
.
And
the
Apostle
blames
them
greatly
in
1
Cor.
1.
before-mentioned
,
for
saying
,
I
am
of
Paul
,
and
I
of
Apollos
,
and
I
of
Cephas
,
that
is
Peter
,
and
I
of
Christ
,
as
though
Christ
were
divided
:
For
they
all
should
have
kept
the
one
Head
Christ
,
without
mentioning
any
Man's
Name
in
this
Matter
.
For
as
Peter
also
said
in
Acts
4.12
.
There
is
no
other
Name
,
but
that
of
Christ
Jesus
,
by
which
Men
can
be
saved
;
then
say
I
,
of
Necessity
there
can
be
no
other
Rock
.
And
whereas
this
Imaginer
would
make
something
for
Peter's
Supremacy
,
from
his
being
named
first
often
in
Scripture
,
when
the
Apostles
are
mentioned
;
I
say
,
though
it
were
always
as
he
says
,
it
makes
nothing
at
all
for
his
purpose
,
but
is
a
meer
childish
empty
Conceit
,
not
worthy
a
Man
,
much
less
one
professing
Religion
,
to
talk
on
,
for
some
of
them
must
be
mentioned
first
;
but
that
thus
mentioning
Peter
in
Scripture
,
had
any
such
Intention
in
it
as
he
here
Dreams
of
I
,
and
not
only
I
,
but
all
Saints
with
me
,
do
utterly
deny
.
And
as
for
the
word
Supremacy
,
it
is
inconsistent
with
the
Nature
of
true
Christianity
;
for
saith
Christ
to
his
Followers
,
when
they
were
telling
of
who
should
be
greatest
of
them
,
he
Convinced
them
of
their
Error
,
by
setting
before
them
a
little
Child
,
and
saying
,
who
will
be
greatest
of
all
must
be
Servant
of
all
,
and
least
of
all
;
and
that
not
in
Words
only
,
but
in
Deed
and
Truth
say
I.
But
what
is
any
thing
that
is
said
of
Peter
in
the
Scripture
to
the
Pope
?
O
yes
,
saith
he
,
he
is
his
Successor
.
To
which
I
say
,
it
is
as
false
as
any
thing
is
true
;
for
Peter
was
a
Holy
Man
of
God
,
of
Christ's
sending
,
but
the
Pope
,
an
unholy
Man
of
the
wicked
World's
sending
,
chusing
,
and
setting
up
,
witness
the
Men
chusing
him
,
and
the
manner
of
their
chusing
and
setting
him
up
,
the
very
relation
of
which
,
in
all
the
Foolish
and
Antichristian
Circumstances
of
it
,
would
even
make
a
truly
Honest
Spiritual
Man's
Heartake
to
hear
or
read
it
.
Again
,
Peter
was
a
Humble
Man
,
clothed
with
Humility
,
as
he
exhorted
others
;
not
a
Lord
over
God's
Heritage
,
but
an
Example
to
it
of
Faith
and
Goodness
,
as
he
exhorted
others
;
but
the
Pope
is
a
Proud
Man
,
set
up
at
Rome
like
a
Worldly
Prince
,
Ruling
and
Lording
it
over
God's
Heritage
,
not
only
with
his
wicked
Curses
and
Excommunications
of
all
that
will
not
bow
to
his
Superstitions
,
and
Abominable
Idolatries
,
but
even
Persecuting
to
Death
with
worldly
Power
and
Force
,
(
where
he
can
do
it
,
either
by
his
own
or
others
,
whom
he
can
stir
up
and
perswade
to
act
his
wicked
Will
)
all
such
as
deny
him
,
and
against
him
bear
withess
,
though
otherwise
they
be
never
so
dear
and
near
to
the
Lord
God
;
and
so
instead
of
being
an
Example
of
Goodness
to
any
,
he
is
become
an
Abhorring
to
Nations
;
and
therefore
is
the
Wo
come
and
coming
upon
him
,
and
his
Seat
,
and
Upholders
,
and
Lovers
,
from
him
who
is
a
Consuming
Fire
,
and
this
Babylon
,
with
all
its
Strength
and
Glory
,
shall
be
burnt
in
his
Fire
;
and
Zion
shall
not
take
one
of
her
polluted
Stones
to
put
in
her
Holy
Building
.
It
is
so
.
Thomas
Taylor
.
There
is
more
by
me
of
this
kind
,
as
in
Answer
to
more
Passages
of
that
Bad
Book
herein
mentioned
,
which
in
due
time
may
come
forth
;
and
it
is
this
.
Again
,
as
concerning
the
Pope's
succceding
Peter
,
and
all
Successions
relating
to
the
Church
of
God
,
(
truly
so
called
)
I
say
it
is
meerly
Spiritual
,
as
the
Lord
said
concerning
his
Prophet
,
The
Spirit
that
I
have
put
upon
thee
,
and
the
Word
which
I
have
put
into
thy
Mouth
,
shall
not
depart
from
thee
,
nor
out
of
the
Mouth
of
thy
Seed
,
nor
out
of
the
Mouth
of
thy
Seeds
Seed
,
from
henceforth
and
for
ever
.
And
so
we
finding
both
the
Spirit
and
Word
of
the
Pope
to
be
quite
of
another
Nature
than
that
which
was
in
Peter
,
and
the
other
Apostles
,
we
deny
him
and
his
Succession
,
together
with
all
other
Pretenders
to
the
like
Succession
,
who
want
that
Heavenly
Spirit
,
Life
and
Doctrine
that
they
were
in
.
In
the
Ninth
Article
,
this
Bad
Book
saith
,
But
why
may
not
a
well-meaning
Man
be
saved
in
any
Religion
?
He
answers
,
First
,
from
Ephes.
4.5
.
and
Heb.
11.6
.
where
mention
is
made
of
one
Faith
;
and
that
without
Faith
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
.
Then
I
say
,
well
meaning
in
the
Popish
Way
,
without
true
Faith
,
will
not
save
no
more
than
in
any
other
.
But
then
saith
he
,
Secondly
,
because
as
in
a
natural
Body
,
that
part
which
hath
not
a
due
Connexion
to
the
Heart
or
Root
,
presently
dies
for
want
of
Continuity
:
So
in
the
Church
,
(
the
Mystical
Body
of
Christ
)
faith
he
,
that
Part
or
Member
that
hath
not
a
due
Subordination
and
Connexion
unto
the
Head
,
and
Commen
Councils
thereof
,
that
is
the
Pope
and
General
Councils
,
(
thou
shouldst
have
said
Christ
,
as
in
Ephes.
4.15
,
16.
)
from
whence
under
Christ
we
have
our
Spiritual
Life
and
Motion
,
as
we
are
Christians
,
must
needs
be
dead
,
nor
indeed
can
be
accounted
a
Member
of
that
Mystical
Body
.
O
Profound
Antichristian
Doctrine
indeed
!
For
here
thou
hast
pulled
off
thy
Vizard
with
thy
own
Hand
;
and
any
one
of
a
very
mean
Understandstanding
may
see
,
that
by
this
Popish
Doctrine
,
Christ
the
Living
Fountain
is
thrust
out
of
Doors
,
for
it
must
not
by
this
be
known
,
what
saith
Christ
and
his
Spirit
to
my
Soul
,
but
what
faith
the
Pope
and
his
Councils
to
mine
Ear.
And
afterwards
this
Pleader
for
Baal
,
to
wit
,
the
Pope
and
his
Councils
accounts
them
Novelists
,
Hereticks
,
and
Idle
Brains
,
that
will
not
submit
to
this
Tribunal
of
Christ
(
he
should
have
said
Antichrist
)
on
Earth
,
to
wit
,
the
Pope
and
his
General
Councils
,
and
makes
this
alone
to
be
the
Cause
of
all
Heresies
and
Sects
,
as
he
calls
them
,
whether
Protestants
or
other
;
For
,
saith
he
,
they
will
not
be
tried
by
this
Tribunal
,
but
by
their
own
idle
Brain
,
and
the
dead
Letter
of
the
Scripture
.
To
which
I
say
,
God
will
judge
this
Man
,
and
all
such
,
for
their
Wickedness
in
coupling
an
idle
Brain
,
and
the
Letter
of
the
Scripture
together
;
for
though
the
Scripture
be
but
as
a
dead
thing
to
them
that
will
neither
understand
nor
believe
it
,
yet
to
an
Inlightened
,
Understanding
,
Believing
Soul
,
it
is
of
such
Service
,
that
the
Apostle
is
not
afraid
to
say
,
That
the
Scripture
is
given
for
our
Learning
,
upon
whom
the
Ends
of
the
World
are
come
:
And
the
Scripture
is
of
such
force
in
the
Hand
of
such
Inlightned
and
truly
Understanding
Ones
,
that
Christ
made
use
of
it
against
the
great
Wrester
of
Scripture
,
to
wit
,
the
Devil
;
and
by
the
right
use
of
it
in
the
hands
of
the
Faithful
,
through
the
Spirit
which
gave
them
forth
,
all
the
Mud-walls
of
Popery
,
and
Paper
Bullwarks
of
the
whole
Antichristian
Kingdom
of
False
Professors
,
both
have
and
daily
are
beat
down
;
and
therefore
doth
the
wicked
Popedom
keep
the
Holy
Scripture
from
the
poor
Slaves
under
them
.
But
the
great
King
Christ
Jesus
,
upon
his
Heavenly
Tribunal
,
is
bringing
his
great
Work
to
pass
in
these
latter
days
,
against
the
Beast
,
Whore
,
and
False
Prophet
,
under
what
Name
or
Notion
soever
;
and
by
his
Spirit
,
according
to
Scripture
,
to
pour
Judgments
and
Plagues
upon
all
their
Tribunals
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
evermore
.
Again
this
Popish
Book
asks
,
Is
not
this
(
to
wit
,
the
want
of
a
Popish
Tribunal
)
the
reason
why
the
Protestants
,
and
other
Sects
,
are
so
divided
,
&c.
He
answers
,
Yea
,
a
principal
reason
;
For
how
can
different
Fancies
(
says
he
)
upon
different
Principles
,
be
united
?
I
answer
,
No
:
The
want
of
this
Tribunal
is
not
the
cause
:
And
ask
,
What
was
the
Reason
of
Differences
amongst
the
Jews
,
that
had
their
Tribunal
of
the
Law
outward
,
and
High
Priests
,
and
Sanhedrims
or
great
Councils
,
for
ordering
Matters
of
Religion
?
Yea
,
and
what
was
the
reason
that
there
was
Divisions
and
Dissentions
amongst
the
first
Christians
,
when
even
Peter
and
other
Apostles
were
living
?
Yea
saith
the
Apostle
,
There
must
be
Heresies
among
you
(
even
you
that
all
profess
Christ
)
and
he
gives
a
Reason
,
that
these
that
are
approved
may
be
made
manifest
:
He
doth
not
say
,
Heresies
come
for
want
of
a
Pope
and
General
Council
.
And
I
may
add
another
Reason
,
and
that
a
main
and
universal
one
,
and
that
is
,
Peoples
either
not
living
in
the
Spirit
,
or
not
walking
in
the
Spirit
,
and
so
not
keeping
the
Vnity
of
the
Spirit
in
the
Bond
of
Peace
;
And
so
not
keeping
the
Head
,
to
wit
,
Christ
,
in
whom
,
if
the
whole
Body
be
coupled
and
knit
together
,
increase
of
the
whole
Body
(
to
wit
,
the
true
Church
)
is
made
to
the
Edifying
of
it self
in
Love
,
and
not
otherwise
,
Eph.
4.
This
is
the
Cause
,
and
continual
Cause
.
A
Second
Reason
of
those
Differences
,
saith
that
Popish
Book
,
is
because
the
very
Ground
work
of
Protestancy
is
,
That
all
Men
,
even
the
whole
Church
of
God
,
are
Fallible
,
and
subject
to
Err
,
so
that
they
cannot
pretend
to
Certainty
or
Infallibility
(
saith
he
)
for
any
one
Point
of
their
Belief
.
To
which
I
say
,
if
any
Protestant
say
,
the
whole
Church
of
God
is
Fallible
,
and
subject
to
Err
,
if
they
understand
the
Church
as
Paul
doth
in
Ephes.
5.25
,
26
,
27.
and
as
he
doth
in
1
Tim.
3.15
.
or
as
Christ
doth
in
Mat.
16.18
.
where
it
is
said
,
The
Gates
of
Hell
shall
not
provail
against
it
;
they
do
not
well
:
For
though
all
Men
,
as
Men
,
in
Adam
the
Earthly
,
are
not
only
Fallible
,
and
subject
to
Err
,
but
also
really
in
Deceit
and
Error
;
yet
in
Christ
Jesus
the
Second
Adam
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
that
quickning
,
preserving
Spirit
of
Truth
,
there
is
no
Fallibility
nor
Error
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
1
John
3.
He
that
abideth
in
Christ
sinneth
not
,
Ver.
6.
And
he
that
is
Born
of
God
sinneth
not
,
nor
can
sin
,
Ver.
9.
But
what
is
all
,
or
any
of
this
Glory
to
the
Pope
,
or
his
Synagogue
,
which
he
falsly
calls
the
Church
of
God
?
For
they
do
not
attribute
the
Infallibility
to
the
Eternal
Spirit
,
which
is
in
every
true
Member
of
Christ's
Church
,
which
is
their
Leader
into
and
Preserver
of
their
Souls
into
all
Truth
,
but
to
the
Pope
and
General
Councils
;
as
though
Infallibility
were
annexed
to
the
Dream
of
Peter's
Chair
,
and
not
to
Christ's
Spirit
in
the
Faithful
.
O
the
Abomination
of
Desolation
that
is
in
this
Popish
Doctrine
!
But
what
,
is
there
such
Unity
amongst
these
Deluded
Disciples
of
the
Pope
?
Surely
nay
;
for
as
we
read
there
was
amongst
the
Jews
,
the
several
Sorts
and
Sects
of
Pharisees
,
Sadducees
,
Libertines
,
Cirenians
,
Alexandrians
,
and
the
like
,
yet
all
against
Christ
:
So
in
the
Popish
Hierarchy
,
there
are
the
several
different
and
divided
Sorts
and
Sects
of
Franciscans
,
Dominicans
,
Jesuits
,
Cappuchins
,
Carthusians
,
and
others
,
all
agreed
this
Day
,
as
of
long
time
they
have
been
against
the
Blessed
Crown
,
Kingdom
,
Dignity
and
Dominion
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
But
these
,
with
all
the
rest
of
Mystery
Babylon's
Merchants
,
have
cause
to
wail
,
because
the
Light
and
Spirit
of
God
in
Christ
Jesus
is
broken
forth
in
Power
and
great
Glory
this
Day
,
to
judge
them
all
,
that
the
Kingdom
,
(
not
Worldly
,
but
Heavenly
)
may
be
given
to
the
People
of
the
Saints
of
the
Most
High
God
,
for
an
Everlasting
Inheritance
,
as
in
Dan.
7.27
.
Here
also
I
may
well
take
notice
of
some
other
words
that
this
Popish
Pleader
hath
in
his
Book
,
Treating
of
this
Matter
,
viz.
Since
then
,
saith
he
,
to
be
of
one
Religion
,
is
to
be
of
one
setled
Perswasion
in
Points
of
Faith
,
and
seeling
cannot
be
without
Infallibility
or
Necessity
;
it
is
not
well
possible
,
that
any
two
Protestants
or
Sectaries
to
be
of
one
Religion
,
every
Man
Expounding
the
Scripture
as
he
lists
,
and
no
one
having
Power
to
Controul
the
others
Exposition
of
it
.
I
Answer
,
and
in
the
Power
of
Christ
do
grapple
with
this
Beast
that
arose
out
of
the
Sea
,
and
with
his
Image
also
,
and
do
say
,
That
no
Humane
Conceit
,
nor
Natural
Man's
Exposition
,
with
the
help
of
all
the
World's
Wit
and
Skill
,
whether
Pope
,
or
other
,
is
infallible
,
or
binding
,
or
controuling
:
But
by
the
same
Spirit
that
gave
forth
Scripture
(
whether
in
a
Fisherman
,
Tradesman
,
or
other
,
now
as
well
as
formerly
)
is
the
Scripture
rightly
Understood
and
Expounded
.
So
the
true
Oneness
in
Religion
stands
in
the
Oneness
of
that
Spirit
that
gave
forth
Scripture
,
and
gives
a
right
understanding
of
it
,
and
of
all
things
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
The
Anointing
which
ye
have
of
the
Holy
One
teacheth
all
things
,
and
by
it
you
know
all
things
,
1
John
2.20
.
And
he
that
hath
not
this
Spirit
is
none
of
Christ's
,
Rom.
8.9
.
And
he
that
is
guided
by
this
Spirit
is
a
Spiritual
Man
,
and
so
not
to
be
judged
or
controuled
in
his
Spiritual
Concernment
,
by
any
Man
of
this
World
,
(
neither
Pope
,
nor
other
)
as
saith
the
Apostle
,
1
Cor.
2.10
,
15.
It
is
so
.
But
whereas
he
tells
of
every
Man
Expounding
the
Scripture
as
he
lists
,
I
say
,
this
is
the
Pope
and
all
his
Priests
Fault
,
and
of
all
the
wicked
World
besides
,
who
are
not
in
Heart
and
Life
subject
to
that
one
Pure
and
Holy
Spirit
,
that
is
,
of
Jesus
,
that
leads
Spiritually
into
all
Truth
,
which
Truth
is
one
:
And
so
though
they
that
are
of
another
Spirit
may
agree
never
so
much
,
and
in
never
so
great
numbers
,
in
their
several
Ways
of
Deceit
,
yet
the
true
Religion
of
God's
Holy
Ones
in
Light
,
they
still
remain
ignorant
of
.
And
so
his
Blindness
of
imagining
,
that
Protestants
and
Sectaries
,
as
he
calls
them
,
cannot
be
two
of
them
of
one
Religion
,
doth
hereby
fully
appear
:
For
not
only
they
,
but
all
the
People
of
the
Earth
,
under
what
Name
,
Notion
,
or
Profession
soever
,
are
either
the
Children
of
Light
,
or
Children
of
Darkness
,
and
so
not
only
two
,
but
all
of
the
same
sort
may
,
and
do
agree
in
the
Root
in
their
Religion
,
(
if
it
may
be
called
so
)
though
we
know
there
is
but
one
true
Religion
,
and
that
is
truly
and
properly
the
Religion
of
God's
People
,
the
Children
of
his
Light
,
even
that
which
in
Purity
and
Holiness
binds
their
Hearts
to
God
.
And
so
by
this
word
Controuling
,
which
this
Remish
Agent
here
useth
,
it
is
easily
seen
how
the
Pope
hath
set
up
and
maintained
his
Wicked
Kingdom
,
that
is
to
say
,
by
a
Worldly
Controuling
Power
over
Mens
Souls
and
Consciences
,
and
not
by
the
Power
of
Truth
:
For
if
his
Earthly
Power
,
with
his
Worldly
Assistants
,
were
taken
from
him
,
his
Decretals
,
Expositions
,
Bulls
,
Excommunications
and
Curses
,
for
not
obeying
his
Commands
,
would
be
of
little
force
this
Day
in
the
Earth
,
because
of
the
Light
that
God
hath
raised
up
in
the
Hearts
of
People
this
Day
to
discover
him
,
Glory
to
his
Great
Name
for
Evermore
.
And
so
the
true
Judge
and
Controuler
of
all
Judgments
and
Controulers
,
is
on
his
Throne
this
Day
judging
in
Righteousness
,
and
on
his
White
of
Glorious
Power
,
going
on
Conquering
and
to
Conquer
,
the
Man
of
Sin
in
all
Lands
,
and
his
Holy
Ones
in
Light
:
His
Called
,
Faithful
and
Chosen
follow
him
with
great
Joy
of
Heart
,
Rev.
19.11
,
12
,
13.
He
that
hath
an
Ear
let
him
hear
what
the
Spirit
saith
.
Again
,
saith
this
Popish
Book
,
asking
this
Question
,
Is
the
Church
visible
?
He
answers
,
She
is
,
and
must
be
visible
at
all
times
,
as
consisting
of
a
Hierarchy
of
Pastors
,
Governing
,
Teaching
,
and
Administring
Sacraments
to
the
Worlds
end
;
and
of
other
People
governed
,
taught
,
and
receiving
Sacraments
at
their
Hands
,
all
publickly
professing
the
same
Faith
,
all
which
things
are
visible
:
And
for
this
brings
Ephes.
4.11
,
12.
Mat.
5.14
,
15.
Answer
,
Now
to
this
,
I
say
,
that
the
true
Church
,
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
(
and
not
the
Adulterer
,
the
Popedom
)
are
visible
and
known
to
God
,
and
its
own
Members
,
but
invisible
to
the
World
as
such
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
1
John
3.1
.
Behold
what
manner
of
love
the
Father
hath
bestowed
on
us
,
that
we
should
be
called
the
Sons
of
God
;
therefore
the
World
knows
us
not
,
because
it
knew
not
him
,
to
wit
,
Christ
Jesus
their
Head
,
though
he
did
appear
in
Flesh
;
and
so
the
Flesh
was
the
Vail
by
which
he
was
hid
from
the
World
then
,
as
the
Flesh
is
the
Vail
by
which
the
true
Saints
are
hid
from
the
World
now
:
And
this
makes
manifest
that
that
Scripture
Ephes.
4.11
,
12.
makes
nothing
for
his
Purpose
at
all
.
And
as
for
that
other
Scripture
,
Mat.
5.14
,
15.
where
it
is
said
,
Ye
are
the
Light
of
the
World
,
a
City
set
on
a
Hill
,
which
speaks
of
them
that
were
truly
so
,
and
kept
their
savour
,
and
not
at
all
for
the
Pope
,
or
his
great
Army
of
Apostates
,
nor
of
any
other
who
have
the
Name
only
of
Christians
,
but
have
lost
the
good
savour
,
and
so
want
the
true
Christian
Life
,
and
so
having
put
the
Candle
under
a
Bushel
;
though
they
may
have
a
shew
in
outward
Observances
of
their
own
devising
of
a
Church
,
yet
still
wanting
the
true
heavenly
savoury
Life
,
I
say
,
they
are
to
be
trodden
under
Foot
of
Men
,
as
unsavoury
Salt
;
and
so
this
Scripture
makes
nothing
for
them
neither
.
But
some
may
say
,
Though
this
makes
not
for
the
Pope
,
or
any
false
Church
,
yet
doth
it
not
make
something
for
the
visibility
of
the
true
Church
?
I
answer
,
No
,
not
in
the
Popish
or
Worldly
Sense
at
all
;
for
though
the
good
Life
of
the
true
Church
be
very
savoury
to
that
of
God
in
every
Man
,
and
the
same
Holy
Life
shining
before
Men
,
is
of
great
Service
to
Men
,
and
Glory
to
God
;
and
so
because
they
separate
from
the
World
,
not
only
in
the
inward
,
but
outwardly
also
,
therefore
they
cannot
be
hid
if
they
do
any
thing
contrary
to
their
Holy
Profession
and
Separation
;
yet
still
the
Apostle
(
1
John
3.1
.
)
stands
firm
in
his
Testimony
to
which
my
Spirit
agrees
:
Therefore
the
World
knows
us
not
,
because
they
knew
not
Christ
:
For
how
can
the
World
,
who
are
in
the
False
Life
and
Religion
,
and
yet
think
it
is
true
,
know
or
believe
them
to
be
the
True
Church
of
Christ
,
who
separate
from
them
,
and
bear
witness
against
them
.
And
this
farther
appears
,
if
we
consider
how
the
True
Church
,
as
Christ
himself
,
was
ever
hated
and
persecuted
of
the
World
,
Rev.
12.6
,
&c.
and
many
other
Scriptures
:
And
wherefore
is
all
this
Enmity
,
but
even
because
the
World
knew
them
not
as
they
were
,
but
even
accounted
them
,
through
their
great
Ignorance
,
as
the
Off-scouring
of
all
things
.
As
it
is
reported
also
concerning
the
Christians
in
the
Heathenish
Persecutions
after
Christ
,
Sejanus
vir
bonus
sed
est
Christianus
,
Such
a
one
is
a
good
Man
,
but
he
is
a
Christian
.
So
amongst
and
by
you
called
Papists
;
Such
a
one
is
a
good
Man
,
but
he
is
a
Protestant
:
And
amongst
the
common
Protestants
;
Such
a
one
is
a
good
Man
,
but
he
is
a
Quaker
.
Thus
hath
the
true
living
Seed
been
vailed
from
the
World
,
under
some
Reproach
or
other
,
through
Ages
and
Generations
,
as
at
this
day
.
And
so
to
conclude
,
I
say
,
That
which
is
here
said
of
the
Invisibility
of
the
True
Church
,
is
not
as
this
Popish
Book
would
wickedly
Insinuate
,
Because
there
were
none
called
Protestants
before
Luther's
Time
,
(
or
because
others
since
Luther's
Time
have
had
other
Names
)
but
because
the
Truth
,
according
to
the
Scripture
of
Truth
,
so
judges
,
as
is
here
in
a
few
words
set
down
.
But
to
return
the
Wickedness
of
these
Popish
Pleaders
upon
their
own
Heads
,
it
may
be
truly
said
,
That
the
End
of
their
Pleading
so
much
for
the
Visibility
of
the
Church
,
is
,
Because
they
have
little
in
their
Religion
,
if
any
thing
at
all
,
but
what
the
blind
and
evil
World
can
both
see
and
exercise
themselves
in
,
and
yet
continue
still
in
their
sinful
Nature
.
So
that
the
Pope's
Daughter
,
the
Popish
Synagogue
,
is
most
unlike
the
Heavenly
King's
Daughter
,
the
True
Church
,
which
is
all
Glorious
within
;
but
the
Pope
and
his
Daughter
,
the
False
Church
,
is
all
Foul
within
,
and
only
Glorious
on
the
out
fi●e
,
and
that
not
with
a
true
out-side
Comliness
or
Glory
neither
,
but
even
with
the
rotten
filthy
Rays
and
menstruous
Clouts
of
Humane
Traditions
,
and
Carnal
Ordinances
and
Observations
of
their
own
Devising
,
beautiful
only
to
the
Adulterous
Eye
,
but
not
with
the
Ornament
of
a
truly
Godly
Life
and
Holy
Conversation
,
which
is
the
True
Churches
Golden
Ornament
or
Rayment
,
which
is
truly
Beautiful
in
the
Eye
of
God
and
his
Saints
.
It
is
so
,
as
saith
God's
Good
Spirit
in
his
Servant
A
Warning
to
the
Papists
at
Stafford
.
Thomas
Taylor
,
a
Servant
of
the
True
and
Everliving
God
,
in
the
Everlasting
Gospel
and
Kingdom
of
his
Son
,
sendeth
Greeting
,
and
a
Warning
unto
you
from
him
,
in
whose
Hand
is
your
Breath
,
and
the
Breath
of
all
the
Living
.
I
say
unto
you
,
who
call
your selves
Catholicks
,
or
Roman
Catholicks
,
here
about
Stafford
,
Awake
,
Awake
,
look
into
your selves
,
Trim
your
Lamps
,
and
see
whether
the
true
Oyl
be
in
you
,
which
the
first
Christians
witnessed
in
them
,
which
they
had
of
God
,
whereby
they
knew
all
things
;
for
if
you
would
be
found
true
Catholicks
,
Members
of
the
Universal
Church
,
the
Heavenly
Body
;
this
you
must
have
,
for
the
Cry
is
gone
forth
,
Behold
the
Bridegroom
cometh
,
and
it
's
none
but
the
Wise
in
Heart
,
the
pure
Virgin
Souls
can
enter
God's
Kingdom
;
it
's
not
enough
for
you
to
say
,
We
are
Catholicks
,
or
Roman
Catholicks
,
and
our
Religion
is
old
,
or
so
,
for
it
is
not
how
Old
,
but
how
Good
;
for
how
much
old
an
Error
or
Way
of
Evil
is
,
by
so
much
the
worse
it
is
;
and
to
imagine
that
God
will
receive
you
,
because
of
your
many
Outside
Observations
,
and
Carnal
Ordinances
;
you
are
very
much
mistaken
,
so
long
as
the
inside
is
unwashed
;
for
it
's
a
pure
Heart
,
and
a
right
Spiritual
Worship
from
the
same
,
that
God
Requires
:
And
did
not
the
Apostle
to
the
Galatians
say
,
He
was
afraid
of
them
,
because
they
thought
to
Please
God
,
in
observing
Days
,
and
Months
,
and
Times
,
and
Years
,
after
Christ
was
come
in
the
Flesh
,
and
Offered
up
to
end
all
such
Shadows
,
and
all
of
like
Nature
,
that
can
be
brought
in
since
then
,
as
a
part
of
God's
Worship
,
and
to
bring
in
Everlasting
Righteousness
,
even
the
true
Standing
and
ever
Continuing
Worship
of
God
,
which
is
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
For
,
saith
Christ
,
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
they
that
Worship
him
,
must
do
it
in
Spirit
,
even
in
his
own
Spirit
and
Truth
.
So
then
they
that
are
in
the
Flesh
,
the
Carnal
Mind
,
cannot
Perform
this
Worship
,
and
so
cannot
Please
God
;
but
a
Carnal-minded
One
can
observe
your
Days
,
whether
Fasts
or
Feasts
,
and
say
all
your
Prayers
,
and
do
all
your
Devotions
,
which
you
are
outwardly
Exercised
in
,
from
the
one
end
of
the
Year
to
the
other
,
and
so
get
a
Name
,
yet
this
avails
nothing
to
the
Kingdom
of
God
:
Nay
,
Paul
the
Apostle
speaks
further
,
If
I
give
all
my
Goods
to
Feed
the
Poor
,
and
my
Body
to
be
Burnt
,
and
have
not
the
Love
of
God
,
the
true
Charity
(
Understanding
within
to
Purge
thy
Heart
from
Sinful
Self
in
the
matter
)
it
is
nothing
.
For
true
Christians
do
not
do
good
Works
,
no●
suffer
for
well
doing
,
that
they
may
merit
Salvation
thereby
,
but
being
saved
freely
by
Grace
through
the
Redemption
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
,
they
do
good
Works
from
the
Heavenly
Nature
of
that
Holy
Root
that
bears
them
,
and
brings
them
forth
as
good
Trees
to
Glorifie
God
in
their
Bodies
and
Souls
which
are
his
,
Tit.
3.8
.
And
the
Apostle
Charging
Titus
to
Exhort
Believers
to
good
Works
,
was
not
because
they
were
Saviours
,
but
because
they
were
Profitable
to
Men
,
as
well
as
the
Prophets
.
And
as
for
our
Religion
,
which
the
World
,
and
all
the
outside
Professors
of
it
,
look
so
slightly
at
,
and
speak
so
Contemptibly
of
,
we
would
have
you
,
as
well
as
the
rest
,
to
know
that
it
is
truly
Ancient
Catholick
,
Christian
and
Apostolical
,
as
having
its
Rise
and
Foundation
in
and
from
the
Eternal
Word
,
which
is
Christ
in
us
,
the
Hope
of
our
Glory
,
whom
the
Apostle
to
the
Colossians
Preached
as
a
Mystery
formerly
hid
,
but
then
Revealed
to
the
Gentiles
,
even
Christ
in
the
Flesh
,
the
Hope
of
their
Glory
,
through
Faith
in
his
Name
;
and
this
is
God's
Foundation
,
the
Foundation
of
Christ's
Church
,
another
Foundation
can
no
Man
lay
,
than
this
which
God
hath
laid
;
and
this
is
the
Rock
,
not
Peter
,
but
Christ
,
who
Peter
,
by
the
Revelation
of
the
Father
,
Confessed
unto
:
And
so
through
Faith
in
this
Word
,
Christ
the
Foundation
and
Rock
of
all
the
Righteous
,
that
ever
were
,
or
ever
shall
be
,
do
we
deny
all
the
false
Faiths
and
Works
of
all
who
have
gotten
the
Name
,
but
want
the
Nature
of
true
Christian
People
;
and
so
in
the
true
Faith
which
gives
Victory
over
the
World
,
and
in
the
Name
of
Christ
,
which
is
above
every
Name
,
do
we
separate
from
them
,
and
meet
together
to
Worship
God
in
Spirit
and
Truth
,
as
he
Requires
us
;
and
his
Blessed
Presence
in
the
midst
of
us
,
according
to
Promise
,
do
we
abundantly
feel
and
witness
,
to
the
great
Rejoycing
and
Establishing
of
our
Souls
in
Righteousness
,
when
thus
met
together
.
And
therefore
do
we
Exhort
all
that
Name
Christ
,
whether
call'd
Papists
or
Protestants
,
to
have
Fellowship
with
us
,
because
our
Fellowship
is
thus
truly
with
the
Father
and
the
Son
.
Therefore
Awake
,
Awake
,
stand
up
from
your
Dead
Faculties
and
Dead
Worships
,
that
Christ
,
who
is
the
true
Everlasting
Way
,
you
may
walk
in
,
and
Worship
in
,
where
no
Uncircumcised
or
Unclean
in
Heart
can
come
;
and
if
this
you
do
not
believe
,
and
bow
your
Heart
accordingly
to
obey
,
let
me
tell
you
,
as
one
who
hath
received
Mercy
to
be
Faithful
,
you
can
never
be
Established
with
the
Establishment
of
the
Righteous
;
for
this
is
the
Day
that
burns
as
an
Oven
,
where
in
all
the
Proud
,
Wicked
and
False
Professors
and
Confessors
must
be
as
Stubble
,
and
neither
Root
nor
Branch
must
be
left
them
,
because
they
will
not
have
him
,
the
true
Promised
Seed
,
and
Heir
of
all
things
,
to
Reign
,
and
Sway
his
Righteous
Scepter
in
them
and
on
them
.
O!
Look
up
to
the
Lord
in
a
Trembling
Soul
and
True
Contrite
Spirit
,
to
find
Favour
in
his
sight
,
before
the
Door
be
shut
,
and
you
stand
without
,
saying
,
Lord
,
Lord
,
open
to
us
,
And
he
Answer
you
in
his
Wrath
,
because
of
your
Unbelief
and
Disobedience
,
saying
,
Depart
from
me
,
I
know
you
not
Workers
of
Iniquity
;
for
all
are
Workers
of
Iniquity
in
their
highest
Performances
and
greatest
Conceits
of
themselves
,
whose
Works
are
not
wrought
in
God
,
that
Spirit
and
Holy
Power
that
Cleanses
the
Heart
from
all
Sin
;
and
so
brings
Life
to
Light
,
for
God
to
be
Praised
in
,
for
the
Dead
cannot
Praise
him
.
So
consider
what
I
say
,
and
be
not
Proud
,
lest
your
Bands
be
made
strong
,
and
your
Feet
stumble
,
and
then
Fall
upon
the
Dark
Mountains
,
where
you
have
been
too
long
Wandering
:
Neither
be
so
Foolish
as
to
say
,
This
is
but
a
Quaker
,
who
hath
gotten
some
new
Upstart
Religion
,
or
so
;
for
in
good
Earnest
,
I
tell
you
the
Truth
,
which
will
stand
when
all
Deceit
and
Devices
of
Men
of
corrupt
Minds
will
come
to
naught
;
for
in
the
true
Poverty
of
my
Spirit
hath
the
Lord
,
according
to
Promise
,
manifest
his
Blessed
Kingdom
in
me
,
and
the
pure
Hunger
and
Thirst
of
my
Soul
,
which
was
after
him
and
his
Righteousness
that
he
Graciously
satisfied
:
And
therefore
am
Constrained
,
in
pure
Love
to
your
Souls
,
to
invite
you
,
as
well
as
others
,
to
come
out
of
the
Prodigal
State
,
into
the
Heavenly
Fathers
House
,
Christ
Jesus
,
as
himself
said
,
My
Father
is
in
me
,
and
I
in
him
;
and
as
the
Apostle
said
,
It
pleased
the
Father
that
all
fulness
should
dwell
in
him
;
for
in
this
House
,
and
no
where
else
,
is
there
Bread
enough
,
true
Living
Bread
for
the
Hunger
of
the
Immortal
Soul
,
as
he
said
of
himself
in
John
6.
before
any
thing
was
spoken
concerning
the
Bread
and
Wine
at
his
last
Supper
;
I
am
the
Living
Bread
,
the
Heavenly
Bread
;
and
when
the
Hearers
Carnally
Questioned
,
How
he
could
give
them
his
Flesh
to
Eat
;
he
told
them
,
The
Flesh
Profi●ed
nothing
,
it
was
the
Spirit
that
Quickened
.
So
come
away
,
Come
away
from
your
Carnal
Conceivings
of
a
Heavenly
Man
,
the
Lord
from
Heaven
,
to
be
Comprehended
in
a
little
Earthly
Bread
or
Wine
,
seeing
the
Heaven
,
and
the
Heaven
of
Heavens
,
contain
him
not
,
much
less
outward
Temples
and
outward
Elements
of
Bread
or
Wine
:
For
unto
his
Light
that
is
night
you
,
which
shineth
in
your
Dark
Hearts
,
though
your
Darkness
Comprehend
it
not
,
must
you
come
,
and
there
wait
for
the
Day
to
dawn
in
you
,
or
these
Mysteries
of
his
Kingdom
you
can
never
truly
Know
,
but
in
your
Darkness
grope
and
stumble
for
ever
,
as
People
without
Eyes
;
and
though
this
Heavenly
Seed
,
the
Word
,
the
Light
,
appear
little
in
you
,
yet
despise
it
not
,
for
in
it
is
the
Blessing
,
and
if
you
receive
it
,
and
in
it
abide
,
you
will
know
all
this
and
it
will
work
in
you
,
as
Leaven
in
Meal
,
till
your
whole
Lump●
'
Heavenly
,
Sweet
and
Pure
,
and
so
as
Christ
said
,
If
thy
Eye
be
single
(
to
wit
,
single
in
and
to
the
Lord
,
in
his
Light
to
Believe
and
Walk
)
then
thy
whole
Body
shall
be
full
of
Light
;
but
if
you
say
Nay
,
but
we
will
do
,
and
say
,
and
Understand
,
as
we
have
been
accustomed
,
then
know
for
certain
,
you
are
of
those
that
Reject
the
good
Counsel
of
God
,
given
you
by
his
Spirit
,
in
his
Servant
Thomas
Taylor
.
Something
in
Answer
to
a
Paper
from
a
Nameless
Author
,
directed
to
be
left
at
Joseph
Holt's
in
Okeham
.
BUT
Before
I
speak
in
particular
to
it
,
I
cannot
but
touch
a
little
upon
another
Paper
,
to
that
part
of
it
where
it
is
said
,
Perhaps
the
Man
concealed
his
Name
,
on
purpose
to
try
the
Man's
Skill
,
who
said
,
He
had
an
Vnction
from
the
Holy
One
,
and
knew
all
things
.
If
so
be
he
knows
all
things
,
he
will
easily
inform
thee
who
it
was
that
wrote
it
.
Now
to
this
I
say
,
that
all
People
may
here
take
notice
,
what
a
Scoffing
Prophane
Spirit
lodges
in
these
Men
,
to
wit
,
Those
Priests
and
their
Auditors
:
Who
but
a
Julian
,
or
some
Gross
Heathen
,
would
have
made
a
Mock
of
the
plain
words
of
the
Apostle
?
For
the
Man
did
not
say
so
of
himself
,
but
only
brought
the
Apostles
words
,
which
say
,
1
John
2.20
.
Ye
(
to
wit
,
the
Saints
)
have
received
an
Vnction
from
the
Holy
One
,
and
ye
know
all
things
.
To
prove
that
the
Saints
Teacher
is
the
Anointing
of
God
now
in
them
as
then
:
And
I
may
say
therefore
,
such
as
have
not
this
Unction
,
are
not
of
Christ
:
But
doth
it
therefore
follow
,
That
either
the
Apostles
and
Saints
then
,
or
the
Children
and
Saints
of
God
now
,
do
know
all
Natural
or
Worldly
Things
?
I
remember
it
's
said
in
Scripture
,
that
when
the
Jews
and
Gentiles
had
blindfolded
Christ
,
they
Smote
him
,
and
wickedly
said
unto
him
,
Prophesie
who
it
is
that
Smote
thee
;
(
and
was
not
this
from
the
very
same
ground
that
this
Scoffer
speaks
)
reasoning
,
What
,
if
thou
be
Christ
,
and
a
Prophet
,
thou
canst
tell
all
things
,
and
therefore
thou
canst
easily
tell
who
Smote
thee
.
Those
also
did
it
for
the
very
same
end
that
this
Man
supposes
this
to
be
done
for
,
to
wit
,
To
try
his
Skill
;
But
the
Lord
will
Judge
for
ever
,
all
such
his
Enemies
.
But
what
if
one
had
gone
to
the
Saints
whom
John
writ
to
,
and
said
,
A
Paper
was
sent
to
me
this
day
,
and
there
is
no
Name
at
it
,
and
I
desire
to
know
it
,
but
cannot
,
surely
you
can
tell
me
what
the
Man's
Name
was
,
if
you
know
all
things
:
Or
if
a
Man
had
had
his
Horse
or
other
thing
stolen
from
him
,
Would
it
have
been
good
Work
from
any
(
especially
from
a
Tempting
Scoffing
Spirit
)
to
have
said
,
you
Saints
know
all
things
,
therefore
what
is
the
Thief
's
Name
,
or
so
?
O
Impiety
!
To
what
a
height
Wickedness
is
grown
up
in
the
Unbelievers
and
Mockers
in
this
Age.
But
come
ye
Teachers
of
the
Parishes
,
tell
me
,
Do
you
indeed
believe
,
or
you
do
not
,
that
John
spoke
true
,
when
he
said
,
The
Brethren
had
received
an
Vnction
from
the
Holy
One
,
and
they
know
all
things
?
If
you
do
believe
that
the
Brethren
then
did
,
and
that
they
now
do
,
receive
such
an
Anointing
:
I
ask
you
,
What
are
those
All
things
that
the
Unction
taught
them
,
were
they
Heavenly
or
Earthly
things
?
If
Heavenly
,
even
things
pertaining
to
Salvation
and
Preservation
in
a
Saved
State
,
as
without
all
question
the
Apostle
did
intend
,
as
is
plain
there
;
and
not
such
earthly
things
as
this
Scoffer
speaks
of
.
Then
I
say
,
this
Scoffer
is
either
very
ignorant
of
the
Scriptures
,
or
he
is
very
wicked
in
his
Mind
,
in
sinning
against
Light
,
to
make
God's
Children
Odious
.
But
the
Cause
of
his
Truth
God
will
ever
defend
,
and
the
Scorner
he
will
Judge
.
And
for
those
other
words
in
that
little
Paper
,
where
it
is
said
to
Joseph
Holt
,
When
thou
dost
know
me
,
do
not
pelt
me
with
Reproaches
;
call
me
not
Vnrighteous
Priest
,
nor
one
of
the
World
,
as
your
Phrases
are
;
nor
yet
be
so
rash
as
that
Old
Peevish
Man
at
Sommerby
was
,
to
tell
me
I
am
Damned
.
I
answer
,
That
I
am
the
Man
I
suppose
thou
intends
by
that
Old
Peevish
Man
at
Sommerby
,
and
therefore
whoever
thou
art
,
that
says
I
said
thou
art
Damned
,
it
was
not
so
,
but
a
meer
Falshood
in
thee
to
say
so
,
for
I
never
said
so
to
any
man
that
I
know
of
;
but
what
I
said
at
that
time
at
Sommerby
against
your
Deceit
,
was
not
Rashness
nor
Peevishness
,
but
pure
Zeal
for
God
,
which
caused
me
to
declare
for
God
against
you
,
for
wresting
the
Scripture
,
and
abusing
the
People
thereby
.
What
you
are
,
by
your
Fruits
is
very
manifest
,
he
that
runs
may
read
what
your
in
free
is
,
by
your
Words
and
Works
,
the
Day
of
the
Lord
hath
found
you
out
,
and
therefore
if
you
repent
not
,
you
cannot
miss
to
perish
with
all
the
Wicked
that
are
gone
before
you
,
though
we
should
hold
our
Peace
.
And
so
to
call
you
that
are
Unrighteous
,
as
by
your
Fruits
is
manifest
,
and
who
by
your
own
Service-book
are
tearmed
Priests
,
I
say
,
to
call
you
as
you
are
,
is
neither
False
nor
Reproachful
,
when
in
the
fear
and
feeling
of
God
,
it
is
so
said
to
or
of
you
.
But
that
you
should
account
your selves
either
wronged
or
reproached
,
if
one
tell
you
that
you
are
of
the
World
,
is
something
strange
,
seeing
the
Course
of
your
Lives
is
so
in
the
broad
way
of
the
World
,
and
your
Spirits
so
Worldly
,
as
not
only
by
your
earnest
Pleading
for
worldly
Elements
,
so
necessary
to
Salvation
as
outward
Water
,
that
you
can
hardly
be
perswaded
that
any
can
be
Regenerate
or
Saved
without
it
;
but
also
at
your
very
Scossing
at
the
Holy
Anointing
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
his
People
,
as
is
manifest
;
but
without
this
Anointing
of
God
,
none
knows
Savingly
any
thing
of
the
things
of
God's
Kingdom
;
but
for
all
that
other
Understanding
,
which
is
not
of
this
Holy
Anointing
of
God's
Spirit
,
Man
may
be
Brutish
.
And
so
I
come
,
in
the
Ability
I
have
from
the
Lord
,
to
refute
and
make
void
thy
Dark
Thoughts
,
Arguments
and
Reasons
,
for
and
concerning
outward
Washing
or
Sprinkling
the
little
Infants
with
Elementary
Water
,
mentioned
in
that
first
Paper
.
And
first
,
where
from
Matt.
19.14
.
thou
drawest
these
Arguments
for
Infant-Baptism
.
First
,
sayest
thou
,
Those
whom
Christ
would
have
brought
unto
him
,
it
doth
not
at
all
become
us
to
stop
from
Baptism
,
&c.
To
this
I
answer
,
That
by
this
manner
of
wild
Arguing
,
thou
mayst
deceive
the
Simple
,
and
lead
the
Blind
into
the
Pit
;
but
none
,
that
in
any
measure
are
guided
by
God's
Light
,
can
be
deceived
with
it
:
For
what
if
I
form
thy
words
into
a
Syllogism
(
your
Diana
)
there
will
no
such
thing
at
all
as
Infant-Baptism
arise
from
them
,
but
only
this
,
that
those
ought
not
to
be
hindred
from
coming
to
Christ
,
whom
he
would
have
come
to
him
.
Unless
you
will
say
,
That
Christ
Baptized
those
Children
with
outward
Water
,
which
if
you
should
either
say
or
think
,
it
would
be
most
Absurd
,
and
to
be
exploded
by
all
.
Neither
was
it
in
the
desire
at
all
of
them
that
brought
the
Children
to
Christ
,
to
have
them
so
Baptized
,
but
as
the
words
are
,
That
he
would
put
his
Hands
on
them
and
Pray
.
But
it
seems
you
lay
all
the
stress
of
the
Service
that
can
be
done
to
Children
,
on
Washing
or
Sprinkling
them
with
Water
,
for
without
this
,
all
your
laying
your
defiled
Hands
upon
them
,
and
your
sinful
praying
over
them
,
would
do
them
little
service
it
seems
;
for
indeed
how
should
it
,
seeing
you
never
came
to
witness
sinless
Duty
?
For
it
's
the
Doctrine
of
the
Highest
amongst
you
,
that
you
sin
in
your
best
Duties
;
and
the
words
of
your
daily
Service
is
,
That
there
is
●o
Health
in
you
.
And
so
Christ's
Purifying
Baptism
we
own
for
our selves
and
our
Children
,
but
yours
we
deny
,
for
you
have
run
,
and
God
never
sent
you
,
and
therefore
so
little
worth
are
all
your
doings
.
The
other
Argument
from
Mat.
19.14
.
is
,
Those
to
whom
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
doth
belong
,
and
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
to
those
also
the
Seal
of
that
Covenant
doth
belong
,
which
is
Baptism
,
saist
thou
,
but
to
Infants
doth
belong
this
Covenant
,
Gen.
17.7
.
and
Acts
2.39
.
I
Answer
,
To
this
Argument
much
might
be
said
,
to
shew
the
fallacy
and
gross
deceit
of
it
,
but
in
a
few
words
it
is
manifest
thus
;
First
,
I
deny
that
part
of
the
first
or
greater
Proposition
,
where
thou
Expoundest
the
S●al
of
the
Covenant
to
be
Baptism
,
that
is
,
Outward
Water-baptism
.
For
though
Outward
Circumcision
was
a
Seal
to
the
Jews
of
that
Covenant
,
yet
it
doth
not
at
all
follow
,
that
Outward
Baptism
or
Washing
is
the
Seal
of
the
Covenant
of
God
in
Christ
to
Believers
under
the
Gospel
;
neither
doth
Outward
Baptism
succeed
in
the
room
or
place
of
Outward
Circumcision
,
as
you
falsly
all
along
suppose
;
but
Inward
Circumcision
of
the
Heart
,
is
that
which
succeeds
that
in
the
Flesh
;
and
the
Seal
of
God's
Covenant
with
Man
in
Christ
now
,
is
his
Holy
Spirit
of
Promise
,
as
the
Apostle
expresly
saith
,
Eph.
1.13
.
In
whom
(
to
wit
,
in
Christ
)
after
ye
believed
,
ye
were
sealed
with
that
Holy
Spirit
of
Promise
:
So
that
now
the
Covenant
being
wholly
Spiritual
,
and
the
Ministration
of
it
Spiritual
,
the
Seal
of
it
must
needs
be
so
,
to
wit
,
the
Seal
of
the
Spirit
;
as
it
is
said
in
that
place
,
which
thou
saist
we
omitted
,
John
3.5
.
Except
a
Man
be
Born
of
Water
,
and
of
the
Spirit
,
he
cannot
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
which
not
at
all
speaks
of
Outward
Washing
or
Water
,
but
of
the
Spirit
only
of
God
from
above
,
as
Christ's
own
words
afterwards
plainly
signifie
,
where
he
saith
,
Ver.
6.
That
which
is
Born
of
the
Flesh
is
Flesh
,
and
that
which
is
Born
of
the
Spirit
is
Spirit
:
And
Ver.
8.
The
Wind
bloweth
where
it
listeth
,
&c.
so
is
every
one
that
is
Born
of
the
Spirit
;
where
Christ
leaves
out
the
mention
of
Water
,
as
if
on
purpose
to
stop
such
Carnal
Conceits
of
his
Work
,
as
thine
is
;
for
the
Seed
of
the
New
Birth
,
or
Power
,
or
Means
,
whereby
Regeneration
is
wrought
,
is
only
of
God
,
by
the
Operation
of
his
Heavenly
Spirit
,
and
not
by
Outward
Water
,
or
any
perishing
Thing
whatsoever
,
as
it
is
said
in
another
place
,
The
Children
of
God
are
Born
of
the
Incorruptible
Seed
of
the
Word
of
God
,
which
lives
for
Ever
:
And
so
when
Peter
had
mentioned
our
being
saved
by
Baptism
,
to
stop
such
Carnal
Conceivers
as
thee
,
he
saith
,
Not
the
doing
away
or
washing
of
the
filth
of
the
Flesh
is
it
,
but
the
Answer
of
a
good
Conscience
in
the
Resurrection
of
Jesus
saves
;
which
if
thou
hadst
an
Ear
to
hear
thou
might
hear
And
for
the
Assumption
,
or
other
Proposition
of
thy
Argument
,
where
thou
s●ist
,
But
to
Infants
doth
belong
this
Covenant
,
and
for
that
brings
Gen.
17.7
.
Acts
2.39
.
I
say
there
is
a
gross
fallacy
or
deceit
in
the
Word
Infants
or
Children
,
for
it
is
an
ambiguous
,
Tearm
,
and
may
be
either
understood
of
natural
or
fleshly
Infants
,
Children
or
Seed
,
or
of
the
spiritual
.
But
that
that
Covenant
of
God
with
Abraham's
Seed
,
was
not
to
the
fleshly
as
such
,
is
most
manifest
by
the
Apostles
Doctrine
,
where
he
on
purpose
speaks
of
it
in
two
Eminent
places
,
to
wit
,
Gal.
3.8
.
when
he
had
said
,
In
thee
(
to
wit
,
Abraham
)
shall
all
Nations
be
blessed
,
he
subjoins
Ver.
7.
So
then
they
that
be
of
Faith
are
Blessed
with
Faithful
Abraham
.
And
Ver.
16.
Now
to
Abraham
and
his
Seed
were
the
Promises
made
.
He
saith
not
,
and
to
Seeds
,
as
of
many
;
but
of
as
one
,
and
to
thy
Seed
,
which
is
Christ
.
And
Verse
the
last
,
If
ye
be
Christ's
,
then
are
ye
Abraham
's
Seed
,
and
Heirs
according
to
the
Promise
.
Now
may
it
not
on
the
contrary
be
truly
said
,
If
ye
be
not
Christ's
,
then
are
ye
not
Abraham's
Seed
,
nor
Heirs
according
to
the
Promise
.
The
next
Scripture
,
is
that
which
I
mentioned
upon
this
occasion
in
my
writing
to
you
,
which
thou
takest
no
notice
of
;
for
indeed
it
judges
your
Carnal
Conceits
of
Things
,
and
it
is
in
Rom.
9.7
,
8.
Neither
because
they
are
the
Seed
of
Abraham
,
are
they
all
Children
:
but
in
Isaac
shall
thy
Seed
be
called
.
That
is
,
saith
the
Apostle
,
They
which
are
the
Children
of
the
Flesh
,
these
are
not
the
Children
of
God
:
but
the
Children
of
the
Promise
are
counted
for
the
Seed
.
Was
it
not
for
such
Doctrine
as
this
,
that
the
Carnal
Jews
,
like
you
Carnal
Christians
,
cried
against
the
Apostle
,
saying
,
Away
with
such
a
Fellow
from
the
Earth
,
he
is
not
worthy
to
live
;
as
you
use
to
cry
against
us
to
the
People
,
for
witnessing
to
the
Truth
of
Things
against
your
Gross
and
Carnal
Conceits
,
and
Unscriptural
Practices
,
These
People
would
Damn
your
Children
:
Nay
,
nay
,
we
Damn
none
,
but
could
wish
that
all
might
be
Saved
,
and
come
to
the
Knowledge
of
the
Truth
.
But
say
you
,
How
can
our
Infants
be
Saved
,
if
they
be
not
Regenerate
?
And
how
can
they
be
Regenerate
,
except
they
be
Baptized
with
Outward
Water
?
Poor
Souls
,
I
pity
you
in
your
great
Apostasie
;
Doth
not
the
Scripture
say
in
the
fore-mentioned
place
,
The
Wind
bloweth
where
it
listeth
,
and
thou
hearest
the
sound
thereof
,
but
knows
not
whence
it
comes
,
and
whether
it
goes
:
So
is
every
one
that
is
born
of
God's
Spirit
;
And
so
Regeneration
is
not
limited
to
any
outward
thing
whatsoever
:
And
for
the
little
unteachable
Children
,
thou
busie-body
,
let
them
alone
,
till
they
be
capable
of
Doctrine
;
and
then
,
as
any
is
able
,
let
them
bring
them
up
in
the
Nurture
and
fear
of
the
Lord
,
and
so
bring
them
to
Christ
,
that
he
may
lay
his
Hands
upon
them
and
Bless
them
.
But
secret
things
belong
to
God
,
not
to
thee
:
When
things
concerning
the
Children
are
known
to
thee
,
make
good
use
of
it
,
and
answer
the
Lord's
Mind
in
it
;
the
Lord
knows
best
what
to
do
with
the
little
Children
Souls
,
which
are
hidden
from
thee
;
and
let
God
alone
with
them
who
made
them
,
he
will
have
Mercy
on
whem
he
will
have
Mercy
:
And
so
let
thy
Sprinkling
of
them
alone
,
for
it
neither
Regenerates
them
,
nor
Seals
it
unto
them
,
but
is
a
thing
of
Mens
devising
,
which
the
Lord
never
required
at
your
hands
:
And
though
Scriptures
be
wrested
by
you
to
keep
it
up
,
and
many
Reasons
brought
to
prove
it
,
yet
I
say
,
and
I
,
and
not
I
only
,
but
many
more
,
know
in
the
Light
it
is
proved
,
that
there
is
not
one
Scripture
rightly
understood
that
is
for
it
;
nor
one
true
Reason
from
Scripture
to
keep
up
your
Sprinkling
Infants
:
But
it
is
a
Custom
that
in
the
Apostasie
had
its
Rise
,
and
by
such
as
are
not
recovered
out
of
the
Apostasie
,
kept
up
and
pleaded
for
.
Now
for
the
stir
thou
makest
about
something
that
was
said
by
one
of
our
Friends
,
about
the
Press
that
was
about
Christ
,
by
People
that
came
to
be
Healed
,
and
that
therefore
the
Disciples
might
say
something
,
as
tending
to
hinder
the
little
Children
from
coming
,
and
that
the
Children
were
brought
upon
other
accounts
to
Christ
,
and
not
to
be
Baptized
at
all
with
outward
Water
.
I
say
,
thou
wrongest
our
Friend
,
in
mixing
and
charging
words
on
him
he
spoke
not
;
and
therefore
now
that
I
see
thee
make
so
bad
an
use
of
his
words
,
and
so
misrepresent
them
,
it
is
good
time
to
take
notice
of
thee
.
And
now
I
may
add
something
more
concerning
thy
ungrounded
Reasons
thou
bringest
for
Infant-Baptism
.
1.
Thou
sayst
,
Where
the
Disease
is
,
there
ought
the
Remedy
to
be
applied
;
but
the
Disease
,
to
wit
,
Original
Sin
,
is
in
Children
as
well
as
Men
:
Therefore
the
Remedy
,
which
is
Baptism
,
ought
to
be
applied
to
Children
as
well
as
Men.
I
answer
,
That
by
this
both
thy self
,
and
all
that
take
part
with
thee
in
this
thing
,
are
manifest
to
be
like
the
Papists
in
this
Point
about
Infant
Baptism
,
for
they
hold
that
Baptism
of
Infants
washes
away
Original
Sin
,
and
so
do
these
English
Priests
it
seems
.
I
knew
that
you
were
Idolaters
from
the
Womb
,
giving
that
to
the
Creature
which
is
proper
to
the
Creator
:
If
the
Disease
be
Original
Sin
,
and
the
Remedy
be
outward
Baptisin
,
then
it
seems
those
that
are
so
cured
,
must
certainly
be
saved
;
then
it
's
no
Wonder
,
though
poor
People
,
that
are
perswaded
of
this
Lie
,
do
run
so
fast
to
you
with
their
Children
to
be
Sprinkled
;
and
no
wonder
that
they
do
so
admire
you
,
and
worship
you
,
that
are
such
Saviours
;
and
none
must
be
thought
worthy
to
do
it
,
it
seems
,
but
your selves
:
O
sad
Work
!
But
by
this
Craft
you
get
great
Livings
,
and
that
pleases
your
Carnal
Mind
well
;
But
God
will
judge
for
all
such
things
:
And
if
this
Tradition
of
yours
were
true
,
How
can
ever
any
,
that
have
Original
Sin
so
cured
and
washed
from
them
,
Sin
at
all
?
For
take
away
the
Cause
and
Root
of
a
thing
,
and
the
Effect
and
Fruit
which
comes
and
springs
from
them
must
needs
cease
also
.
And
therefore
thy
Interpretation
of
the
Remedy
against
Original
Sin
,
that
it
is
outward
Water-Baptism
,
which
thou
didst
mention
in
thy
Argument
,
I
do
utterly
deny
,
and
do
,
with
all
the
Children
of
Light
,
pronounce
it
to
be
contrary
to
the
Word
of
God
,
for
God's
Word
is
Truth
,
and
no
Lie
is
of
,
but
contrary
to
,
the
Word
of
Truth
.
And
so
where
the
Door
or
In-let
into
your
Church
,
is
such
an
unsound
Doctrine
as
this
,
what
a
Church
is
that
.
And
now
if
thou
couldst
convert
to
Truth
,
according
to
thy
seeming
Promise
,
it
would
be
well
for
thy
Soul
.
Therefore
whilst
it
is
called
to
day
,
harden
not
thy
Heart
.
Thy
second
Reason
is
answered
already
,
in
shewing
thy
false
Exposition
of
that
place
of
Scripture
,
Gen.
17.7
.
3.
Thy
third
Reason
,
No
means
of
Salvation
ought
to
be
denied
to
the
Children
of
the
Faithful
,
whereof
they
are
capable
,
but
Baptism
is
an
outward
means
of
Salvation
,
whereof
Children
are
capable
under
the
Gospel
,
as
well
as
Children
of
the
Jews
were
capable
of
it
under
the
Law
;
therefore
,
&c.
To
this
I
say
,
Though
in
a
general
Sence
,
4.
The
fourth
Reason
speaks
all
as
it
were
in
one
,
and
doth
fully
make
manifest
the
Darkness
in
thee
,
from
whence
all
thy
Unchristian
Doctrines
have
proceeded
,
and
it
is
this
,
All
those
who
receive
the
thing
signified
by
Baptism
,
ought
to
receive
the
outward
Sign
,
it
is
the
Argument
of
St.
Peter
,
Acts
10.47
.
Can
any
Man
forbid
Water
,
that
these
should
not
be
Baptized
,
who
have
received
the
Holy
Ghost
as
well
as
we
?
But
Children
of
the
Faithful
receive
the
thing
signified
by
Baptism
,
to
wit
,
Regeneration
and
Remission
of
Sins
:
Therefore
,
&c.
To
thy
first
Proposition
drawn
from
Peter's
words
,
Acts
10.47
.
thou
might
have
left
that
to
others
,
who
Idolize
outward
Baptism
in
another
Form
;
for
they
will
tell
thee
,
it
belongs
nothing
to
you
at
all
who
Sprinkle
before
Confession
,
or
any
visible
Appearance
of
any
inward
Work
.
But
then
sayst
thou
,
If
Children
be
not
Regenerated
,
and
receive
Remission
of
Sins
,
you
must
needs
hold
,
that
all
Children
are
damned
.
I
say
,
thou
belies
us
and
the
Truth
,
for
there
is
no
necessity
at
all
for
such
a
wild
and
falfe
Conclusion
from
our
true
and
harmless
Premises
,
for
what
though
God
please
to
have
Mercy
upon
Children
,
whether
some
or
all
,
whom
and
as
he
pleaseth
;
What
ground
is
that
for
you
to
say
hand
over
head
,
that
all
that
you
Sprinkle
are
Regenerated
,
when
you
know
nothing
at
all
of
God's
Mind
in
the
thing
?
And
for
your
calling
such
Children
of
the
Faithful
,
who
naturally
only
proceed
from
such
as
do
but
in
general
only
profess
the
Christian
Religion
,
though
their
Lives
,
even
in
your
Judgment
,
are
judged
to
be
no
better
;
some
,
if
not
many
of
them
,
to
be
,
I
say
,
no
better
than
Heathens
,
is
such
a
piece
of
Darkness
and
Wretchedness
,
that
the
Earth
groans
under
it
;
and
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
burdened
with
your
Doings
,
as
a
Cart
under
Sheaves
.
And
whereas
thou
brings
that
Scripture
,
Mat.
18.10
.
to
prove
,
that
by
little
Children
he
intends
the
Natural
Infants
,
is
so
gross
,
that
it
shews
thou
wilt
not
see
;
for
those
little
ones
,
whose
Angels
,
Christ
said
,
did
always
behold
the
Face
of
his
Father
,
are
plainly
said
to
be
such
as
believed
in
him
;
Ver.
6.
and
humbled
themselves
like
a
little
Child
;
and
so
he
still
brought
little
Children
as
Figures
and
Examples
to
Men
,
that
they
might
come
to
the
Birth
of
God
in
them
which
Heirs
his
Kingdom
,
according
to
what
is
said
before
Rom.
9.8
.
and
John
3.
That
which
is
Born
of
the
Flesh
is
Flesh
,
and
that
which
is
Born
of
the
Spirit
is
Spirit
.
Also
as
to
that
which
thou
brings
against
our
Objection
from
Mat.
28.18
.
concerning
Infant
Baptism
,
it
is
nothing
but
thy
groundless
Argument
drawn
from
a
falfe
Supposition
of
our
understanding
of
the
place
,
as
though
we
understood
the
reason
wherefore
Teaching
is
to
go
before
Baptizing
,
because
of
the
meer
standing
of
the
words
in
the
Sentence
,
and
so
troubles
thy self
to
prove
by
other
Scripture
,
That
Precedency
of
Action
is
not
always
deducible
from
the
Precedency
of
Words
:
For
thou
maist
know
,
that
we
do
not
say
that
Teaching
goes
before
Baptism
,
meerly
because
it
is
placed
so
in
words
,
(
though
in
that
place
that
is
true
)
but
especially
because
of
the
Nature
of
the
Thing
,
as
is
manifest
amongst
many
other
Reasons
.
1.
By
your
own
Confession
,
that
the
Sacraments
do
not
beget
Faith
,
but
only
confirm
;
and
that
Faith
cometh
by
hearing
the
Word
Preached
.
2.
From
the
Practice
of
those
that
Baptized
with
Water
in
the
first
Times
,
as
is
to
be
seen
in
Scripture
,
where
none
were
Baptized
with
Water
,
but
upon
Teaching
first
,
going
to
the
Understanding
of
such
,
whatsoever
you
imagine
to
the
contrary
,
from
the
Goaler's
or
Stephana's
Families
.
3.
From
the
Judgment
of
those
that
Compiled
that
Catechism
,
which
saith
,
What
is
required
of
Persons
to
be
Baptized
?
The
Answer
is
,
Faith
and
Repentance
:
And
so
because
they
in
their
dark
Minds
and
Self-will
,
would
needs
have
Children
into
that
Ceremony
,
(
right
or
wrong
)
they
devised
that
strange
,
and
unheard
of
,
and
unreasonable
Custom
of
Sureties
,
or
Godfathers
and
Godmothers
,
to
Promise
that
for
the
Children
which
the
Lord
never
required
of
them
,
and
indeed
is
most
unreasonable
to
think
possible
;
for
can
any
Promise
for
another
that
they
shall
do
such
things
,
as
forsake
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
,
&c.
especially
for
Infants
,
whose
Minds
and
Hearts
are
wholly
hid
from
such
Presumptuous
Promisers
.
But
what
if
the
Lord
should
require
the
Performance
of
this
Promise
in
the
Day
of
Judgment
,
on
behalf
of
such
Infants
,
that
when
they
come
to
Years
are
found
following
the
Devil
and
all
his
Works
?
Would'st
thou
be
content
to
suffer
the
Punishment
of
such
Disobedient
Ones
for
their
Sin
?
Were
it
not
just
thou
should'st
,
seeing
thou
wast
the
Surety
or
Undertaker
for
them
,
and
they
have
failed
?
Must
it
not
therefore
fall
on
thee
,
except
thou
Repent
?
And
so
if
thou
be
Damned
,
do
not
say
that
we
Damn
thee
,
for
it
's
thy self
that
art
the
Cause
,
and
God
and
his
Servants
are
clear
of
all
your
Blood
:
And
do
not
trifle
and
say
as
one
of
you
said
,
See
these
Men
can
bring
a
Proof
out
of
our
Catechism
,
and
therefore
it
is
so
and
so
;
and
drew
this
wretched
word
forth
from
it
,
The
Spider
draws
Poyson
out
of
the
same
Flower
the
Bee
draws
Honey
.
The
Heathens
might
have
said
so
to
Paul
,
who
brought
their
own
Authors
against
them
:
And
did
his
bringing
some
true
words
out
of
their
heaps
of
false
,
prove
all
to
be
good
,
and
he
a
Spider
for
so
doing
,
any
more
than
our
present
Work
make
us
Spiders
,
or
allow
of
all
that
's
written
in
that
Catechism
?
Nay
,
nay
,
the
Lord
is
Judge
between
us
,
and
he
sees
who
are
in
Heart
true
Lovers
of
him
and
his
Truth
,
and
who
are
not
,
and
will
give
every
one
according
to
their
Works
,
and
that
is
our
Joy
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
Ever
;
and
so
at
this
time
rests
the
Lord's
Servant
,
Thomas
Taylor
.
This
Writ
upon
Occasion
of
a
Visitation
,
so
called
.
UNto
you
who
are
called
Divines
,
In
Love
are
sent
these
following
Lines
;
And
so
,
if
you
are
Wise
,
you
'll
not
Disdain
A
few
plain
Verses
from
a
Heart
that
's
plain
;
They
'll
serve
as
Monitors
unto
that
part
In
you
,
which
is
grown
dull
with
weight
of
Art
,
And
evil
Customs
,
in
these
lazy
Times
,
Wherein
the
Truth
's
Extirpate
Prose
and
Rhimes
;
Wherein
Ambition
,
Pride
and
Cruelty
,
Is
like
a
Fiery
Flame
advanc'd
so
High
,
That
if
with
Moistning
showers
it
go
not
out
,
It
will
consume
the
Tree
both
Branch
and
Root
.
Wo
to
the
Shepherds
that
lead
the
Flock
amiss
,
And
follow
Cursed
Covetousness
,
what
's
this
,
Save
gross
Idolatry
,
to
give
to
th'
Earth
Your
Hearts
,
which
is
the
due
of
him
that
gives
you
Breath
?
And
Wo
to
People
,
when
even
for
a
Word
,
A
Man's
Offender
made
,
then
comes
the
Sword
:
Then
comes
the
Plagues
of
God
upon
that
Land
,
To
cut
off
Sinners
who
against
him
stand
.
And
Wo
to
People
,
when
their
Bishop's
Blind
,
That
neither
sees
nor
knows
their
Sores
to
Bind
;
Who
feeds
himself
with
Thoughts
of
Worldly
Glory
,
And
knows
not
that
his
Life
's
an
empty
Story
;
And
knows
not
that
the
Holy
One
Beholds
,
How
such
the
Sheep
impound
in
dirty
Folds
;
How
they
the
Fleece
,
and
not
the
Flock
,
do
seek
;
Howl
,
howl
,
ye
Shepherds
,
Roar
,
Lament
and
Weep
;
The
Day
of
your
Dispersions
is
at
Hand
,
You
shall
no
more
the
Lambs
Tear
,
Kill
and
Rend
:
But
Heaven
and
Earth
shall
Joy
the
Day
to
see
,
Wherein
the
Sheep
from
Bondage
shall
go
free
:
Weep
,
Weep
and
Wall
,
all
strong
and
stout
of
Heart
,
Who
,
with
Proud
Babel's
Whore
,
have
taken
part
;
Upon
a
Bed
of
Sorrow
you
must
lye
,
Because
the
Cursing
thing
you
come
so
nigh
.
What
Madness
is
in
Men
in
these
bad
Days
?
That
will
not
heed
what
Christ
and
Scripture
says
;
That
will
not
once
believe
that
God
will
come
,
And
give
upon
your
Deeds
a
Righteous
Doom
.
What
are
your
Ears
and
Eyes
so
clos'd
,
that
ye
God's
Truth
will
neither
Practice
,
Hear
nor
see
?
Hath
Midnight
Darkness
all
your
Senses
drown'd
,
That
of
God's
Truth
you
'll
not
endure
the
Sound
?
Must
every
vain
Invention
Suffered
be
,
And
with
a
Brasen
Face
i'
th'
Land
go
free
;
And
only
such
,
as
do
Proclaim
God's
Day
,
Be
stopt
,
and
from
your
presence
sent
away
Into
some
nasty
Prison
,
or
such
Place
,
To
spend
their
Days
in
Sorrow
with
Disgrace
?
As
though
the
Great
and
Holy
One
of
Heaven
,
Would
not
pour
out
his
Vials
Seven
times
Seven
,
Upon
the
Seat
of
that
proud
Beast
and
Whore
,
Who
hate
his
Truth
,
and
would
his
Lambs
devour
;
And
would
set
up
that
Worship
which
he
hates
,
And
all
that
Bow
unto
it
Desolates
:
And
will
not
suffer
Light
and
Life
to
Reign
,
But
Preach
and
Pray
,
and
all
for
filthy
Gain
:
God
shakes
his
Hands
against
you
for
such
things
,
And
He
's
the
Lord
of
Lords
,
and
King
of
Kings
;
Who
will
not
be
o'er-top'd
by
Mortal
Birth
;
Whose
Origin
and
Root
is
from
the
Earth
,
But
will
be
Honour'd
as
a
Heavenly
King
,
Or
else
his
Judgments
through
the
Earth
shall
Ring
;
With
Terrors
great
,
he
will
his
Foes
Confound
,
Who
have
wrought
all
their
Works
as
under
Ground
.
And
in
their
Hearts
have
said
,
Tush
,
none
doth
see
,
But
we
shall
Rule
and
Reign
,
and
only
we
.
O
turn
your
Ears
,
and
listen
then
a
while
,
Let
not
the
Serpent
always
you
Beguile
:
He
that
deceiv'd
the
simple
one
at
first
,
Doth
after
all
your
Souls
and
Spirits
thirst
;
He
leads
you
out
to
love
the
Perishing
things
,
Which
swiftly
fly
away
with
Eagles
Wings
;
Which
answer
not
the
Heavenly
Minds
desire
,
But
leaves
your
Spirits
scorch'd
as
with
a
Fire
.
You
seem
to
Eat
,
and
sumptuously
to
Fare
,
But
when
awake
,
you
Lean
and
Hungry
are
:
You
spend
your
Money
for
poor
empty
Shells
,
And
go
to
Drink
at
Springless
empty
Wells
:
And
when
your
Minds
with
Wind
and
Air
are
fill'd
,
And
you
a
little
in
School-Learning
Skill'd
,
Then
do
you
Jude
your selves
fit
Guides
to
be
,
Unto
the
poor
Unskilful
Commonalty
,
Who
do
not
know
the
difference
'twixt
the
Wheat
And
Chaff
,
which
,
to
the
Soul
,
was
never
Meat
:
But
hark
,
what
is
it
now
my
Mind
doth
see
,
Sad
Oaths
impos'd
on
Men
that
should
be
free
,
That
should
their
Office
do
as
Christians
did
In
former
times
,
as
great
Jehovah
bid
;
And
not
as
Worldly
Men
,
whose
Will
's
their
Law
;
Who
,
with
their
Fines
and
Threats
,
still
kept
in
A
we
The
silly
Multitude
,
which
knows
not
God
,
But
are
more
Fearful
of
the
Tyrants
Rod
;
And
are
in
Earthly-mindedness
so
deep
,
That
they
will
lose
the
Soul
before
their
Sheep
:
And
are
so
Ignorant
of
things
Divine
,
That
they
will
part
with
Truth
before
their
Swine
.
And
what
Religion
is
it
that
such
Men
,
For
Worldly
Ends
,
will
not
Profess
,
but
when
The
Tide
of
Times
doth
turn
,
and
changes
Face
,
Then
they
will
leave
you
all
unto
Disgrace
:
And
that
which
now
seems
as
an
Iron
Post
,
Will
then
forsake
you
,
and
be
gone
and
lost
;
For
it
's
their
Bodies
that
by
force
is
gain'd
,
When
as
their
Souls
i'
th'
change
of
Sin
's
detain'd
.
So
that
a
perfect
Man
you
cannot
bring
,
Of
all
your
Number
,
unto
God
,
to
Sing
,
And
Sound
forth
Holy
Praises
,
'mongst
the
Choire
Of
Holy
Ones
,
who
burn
in
pure
Desire
,
Of
setting
up
the
Lamb
,
upon
his
Throne
Of
Highest
Glory
,
and
all
Sorrows
gone
;
Then
what
's
your
Work
,
and
where
will
you
appear
,
When
you
have
Slept
and
Slumb'red
Year
by
Year
?
And
in
mean
while
have
suffer'd
Souls
to
Pine
,
For
want
of
Heavenly
Bread
,
and
Spiritual
Wine
;
And
would
them
neither
Feed
,
nor
suffer
such
As
God
hath
sent
to
Feed
them
,
but
do
grutch
That
any
,
but
your selves
,
should
have
a
share
I'
th'
Work
of
Feeding
such
as
to
God
precious
are
:
But
this
be
known
unto
you
all
this
Day
,
That
Israel's
Holy
One
none
limit
may
;
If
Christ
,
an
Amos
,
or
a
Peter
will
Have
in
his
Vineyard
Work
,
his
Word
's
their
skill
;
By
which
,
without
Book-Learning
,
they
do
know
,
'Gainst
Satan's
Kingdom
,
how
to
bend
their
Bow
;
And
if
proud
Scribes
and
Pharisees
Disdain
Their
mean
Appearance
,
and
their
Language
plain
,
Then
doth
their
Master
plead
their
Innocent
Cause
,
And
soon
delivers
them
from
Tyrants
Jaws
,
And
makes
the
Earth
to
know
,
that
maugre
spight
,
He
's
able
to
secure
the
Harmless
Wight
,
Who
trusts
unto
his
Strength
,
and
walks
the
Ways
Of
Truth
and
Holiness
unto
his
Praise
.
And
that
the
Earthly
Man
,
with
all
his
Power
,
Shall
not
secure
himself
from
Heaven's
sharp
Shower
Of
Hail-stones
,
which
upon
the
Wicked
must
Be
Rained
down
,
as
thick
as
any
Dust
.
But
stay
a
little
,
to
the
present
Work
,
A
Word
or
two
in
Love
,
that
does
no
hurt
;
A
Visitation's
talk'd
of
in
these
Towns
,
Wherein
the
Priests
must
come
with
Long
Black
Gowns
,
To
make
Appearance
,
but
whose
Will
to
do
,
They
best
can
tell
,
who
perfectly
do
know
:
Then
I
demand
in
plainness
,
that
you
may
Prove
by
the
Scripture
,
what
you
do
this
day
;
Why
doth
your
Bishop
Ride
in
so
great
State
,
As
if
to
Kings
and
Princes
he
were
Mate
?
And
yet
will
say
to
others
,
they
must
Dye
To
Worldly
Pomp
and
Earthly
Vanity
:
Why
are
you
Teachers
now
call'd
Masters
?
when
Christ
saith
,
Be
ye
not
Masters
call'd
of
Men
;
And
why
your
Courts
(
which
Spiritual
are
by
Name
)
Do
Trouble
Men
for
carnal
Things
?
O
shame
!
That
you
should
Read
so
long
the
Scripture
Letter
,
And
yet
your selves
and
Business
do
no
better
:
Why
is
your
Maint'nance
forc'd
,
when
th'
Gospel's
free
?
And
God's
pure
Day
is
dawn'd
,
that
all
may
see
,
That
those
that
dare
not
trust
the
Lord
for
that
,
Are
such
as
Minister
they
know
not
what
:
For
such
,
in
the
Beginning
,
that
did
Preach
The
Everlasting
Gospel
,
and
did
Teach
Men
to
observe
Christ's
Doctrine
,
knew
not
how
,
At
all
,
by
outward
force
,
to
make
Men
Bow
;
But
said
,
Our
Weapons
are
not
of
the
Earth
,
But
Spiritual
,
Powerful
,
from
that
Heavenly
Breath
.
That
Fans
and
Winnows
,
and
doth
not
beguile
,
But
separates
the
Precious
from
the
Vile
;
And
so
into
Subjection
they
did
bring
,
By
force
of
Truth
,
unto
their
Holy
King
:
They
sought
not
Earthly
Honours
,
nor
did
crave
The
Earthly
Riches
,
but
the
Soul
to
save
.
You
have
received
freely
,
freely
give
,
Saith
Christ
,
who
took
the
Care
how
they
should
Live
And
be
maintain'd
,
and
did
not
bid
them
take
Wages
of
Heathens
,
who
the
Truth
do
hate
.
But
now
you
have
a
Custom
,
sad
to
see
,
To
force
your
Wages
both
from
Bond
and
Free
;
You
force
your
own
Disciples
;
yea
,
and
those
That
are
as
Heathens
Judged
by
your
Laws
;
Which
,
if
your
Spirit
were
not
over-base
,
You
would
soon
reckon
it
a
foul
Disgrace
:
Can
any
Man
that
's
Noble
in
his
Heart
,
Take
Hire
of
such
as
from
the
Lord
depart
?
And
not
Require
it
only
,
but
compel
Them
to
Maintain
you
;
Judge
,
is
this
done
well
?
May
not
such
truly
say
,
You
Love
your
Pride
More
than
the
Gospel
,
and
all
things
beside
?
For
sure
,
a
little
will
serve
Natures
turn
,
But
what
can
satisfie
where
Lust
doth
Burn
?
For
when
in
Pride
and
Fulness
Men
will
Live
,
Then
comes
the
Horse-leach
Daughters
,
crying
,
Give
,
Give
,
give
;
yea
,
which
is
ill
;
yea
,
worst
of
all
,
We
'll
have
it
,
or
we
'll
bring
you
into
Thrall
,
We
'll
have
your
Tythes
,
we
'll
have
your
Easter's
Dues
,
We
'll
have
them
all
,
you
's
neither
Will
nor
Chuse
.
And
thus
old
Eli's
Sons
are
still
alive
,
Which
in
this
World
,
nor
that
to
come
,
will
thrive
.
What!
Preach
the
Gospel
,
and
yet
Sue
to
such
For
Maintenance
,
as
Christ
his
Honour
grutch
;
And
do
not
rather
such
rebuke
and
say
,
If
you
'll
not
Hear
,
we
'll
quickly
turn
away
,
And
shake
your
Dust
from
off
us
,
we
'll
be
free
From
you
and
yours
,
that
all
may
truly
see
,
We
are
not
such
as
would
our selves
advance
,
Nor
Mens
Estates
,
of
any
sort
,
inhance
;
But
seek
to
set
up
Christ
to
be
the
Head
Of
all
things
,
in
all
Worlds
,
with
Fear
and
Dread
.
And
thus
it
was
with
Good
and
Godly
Men
,
In
the
beginning
of
the
Gospel
,
when
The
Spirit
of
the
Lord
did
teach
them
what
to
say
,
And
Men
did
walk
i'
th'
Sun-shine
of
the
Day
;
Before
,
I
say
,
that
Pope
and
Turk
arose
,
Who
,
to
Christ's
Kingdom
,
are
Professed
Foes
,
And
would
themselves
set
up
o're
th'
Sons
of
Men
,
To
Rule
as
Gods
,
that
neither
Tongue
nor
Pen
Might
Publish
ought
,
but
what
their
Heads
devise
,
Whose
Wisdom
out
of
the
dark
Pit
doth
rise
;
And
which
for
Ages
hath
spread
over
all
,
To
bring
the
Souls
of
many
into
thrall
:
But
now
the
Lord
of
Great
and
Endless
Power
,
Is
making
bare
the
skirts
of
that
great
Whore
,
And
giving
double
of
his
Furious
Cup
,
To
such
as
of
her
Wine
still
dare
to
Sup
:
It
's
her
strong
Poysoned
Wine
that
makes
Men
mad
,
In
Persecuting
of
the
Just
;
O
sad
!
That
ever
any
,
who
do
Christ
Profess
,
In
Words
,
should
seek
his
Members
to
Distress
:
So
then
,
if
you
be
Wise
,
you
'll
search
and
see
,
How
from
that
Monst'rous
Ha●lot
you
are
free
;
For
if
in
Hand
or
Head
her
Mark
you
bear
,
The
Lord
amongst
his
Enemies
will
you
tear
;
If
you
your
Ways
Reform
not
,
which
are
ill
,
He
will
not
spare
,
he
will
your
Glory
spill
;
He
'll
Fight
against
you
with
his
Fiery
Word
,
Which
Kills
and
Slays
as
doth
a
two
edg'd
Sword
,
Live
in
Deceit
,
and
turn
which
way
you
will
,
His
Sword
will
reach
you
,
and
your
Cup
will
fill
With
Woes
and
Sorrows
,
and
sad
Acclamations
,
The
just
Reward
o'
th'
Wicked
in
each
Nation
:
Yea
,
tho'
the
Name
of
Christians
you
may
bear
,
Yet
it
's
his
Nature
must
the
Lawrel
wear
;
For
Christ
your
Persons
doth
not
now
Regard
,
But
as
your
Works
are
,
he
will
you
Reward
:
If
you
'll
not
give
a
Reason
of
your
Faith
,
But
Trample
under
Foot
what
any
saith
Concerning
things
that
are
amiss
amongst
you
,
And
to
the
Powers
cry
out
,
they
hate
and
wrong
ye
;
And
thus
,
with
Fig-leaves
,
seek
from
Men
to
hide
Your
Crying
Sins
of
Avarice
,
and
Pride
,
And
Persecution
;
and
instead
of
mending
,
Still
Harbour
Evil
Thoughts
,
which
tend
to
Rending
;
Then
know
for
certain
in
a
Moment
,
God
Will
Visit
you
with
his
Almighty
Rod
:
And
you
who
have
not
Visited
in
Love
,
His
suffering
Servants
,
will
his
Enemies
prove
;
And
when
his
Peoples
Sufferings
are
Compleat
,
Then
they
shall
Feed
when
you
shall
pine
for
Meat
.
So
be
it
.
And
if
the
Writers
Name
in
Writing
you
would
see
,
A
Lover
of
God
,
a
Lover
of
Man
is
he
;
This
is
my
Natures
Name
,
which
shall
Remain
,
When
Sinful
Men
are
Dead
,
and
all
Disdain
;
And
God
,
the
Worker
of
my
Souls
Salvation
,
Shall
Rule
and
Reign
as
Head
in
every
Nation
;
And
though
the
Devil
fret
,
yet
Truth
shall
stand
Over
all
,
and
be
the
King
in
every
Land
,
for
evermore
,
Amen
.
And
to
you
called
Church-wardens
and
Side●men
,
how
weak
is
your
Hearts
,
and
how
slavish
are
your
Minds
(
through
unbelief
)
become
,
that
you
cannot
withstand
and
avoid
such
a
manifest
Temptation
and
Danger
,
as
to
come
under
,
and
Swear
to
the
Bishops
Articles
;
for
which
of
you
either
do
,
or
can
,
or
intend
to
Perform
according
to
what
you
seem
therein
to
engage
your selves
unto
.
And
that
which
is
sad
to
consider
,
the
more
ready
you
are
to
Engage
,
and
the
more
observant
in
the
Performance
,
the
more
Miserable
oftentimes
are
you
,
for
thereby
you
must
not
only
accuse
the
Drunkard
and
Swearer
,
your
own
Mothers
Sons
,
but
even
the
People
of
God
also
,
for
their
pure
Consciences
sake
;
and
so
you
had
need
all
,
and
every
one
of
you
,
Repent
,
lest
the
Lord
Swear
in
his
Wrath
against
you
,
that
you
shall
never
enter
into
his
Rest
;
as
he
did
against
those
that
had
grieved
him
Forty
Years
in
the
Wilderness
.

Certain
Queries
Propounded
to
the
People
called
Anabaptists
,
especially
to
such
as
believe
,
and
hold
forth
,
that
Water-baptism
is
an
Ordinance
and
Command
of
Christ
Jesus
,
the
Door
of
Entrance
into
the
True
Church
,
and
so
of
such
Absolute
Necessity
,
as
that
there
can
be
no
True
Gospel-Church-Fellowship
without
it
.
1.
WHAT
do
you
believe
concerning
the
Baptism
of
John
,
the
Son
of
Zacharias
the
Priest
,
who
was
sent
to
Baptize
in
Water
?
Was
he
in
and
under
a
pure
Evangelical
Office
and
Ministration
,
and
his
Baptism
in
Water
a
Gospel
Ordinance
to
continue
to
the
end
of
the
World
?
If
yea
,
prove
it
by
plain
Scripture
.
2.
What
do
you
believe
concerning
the
Witness
or
Prophesie
of
John
,
Recorded
John
3.30
.
I
must
decrease
,
but
he
(
to
wit
,
Christ
,
who
was
to
Baptize
with
the
Holy
Ghost
,
John
1.33
.
)
must
increase
?
Did
he
speak
this
of
his
own
Person
,
and
of
the
Person
of
Christ
,
or
of
the
Office
and
Administrations
which
they
respectively
were
sent
to
Execute
and
Administer
?
If
of
the
Persons
,
then
tell
us
how
and
wherein
the
Person
of
John
decreased
,
and
how
and
wherein
the
Person
of
Christ
increased
;
and
whether
that
saying
,
Recorded
Mat.
11.
He
that
is
least
in
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
is
greater
than
John
,
was
spoken
of
or
in
relation
to
John's
Person
also
,
and
not
concerning
his
Office
or
Ministration
?
3.
Is
that
Baptism
which
you
Administer
,
and
so
earnestly
press
People
unto
,
John's
,
or
Christ's
,
seeing
John
himself
did
expresly
distinguish
betwixt
his
Baptizing
in
Water
,
and
the
Baptism
which
Christ
was
to
Baptize
in
?
John
1.26
.
And
Christ
also
and
his
Apostles
did
distinguish
betwixt
John's
Baptism
,
and
the
Baptism
of
the
Holy
Ghost
,
(
Acts.
1.5
.
Luke
20.4
.
Acts
13
24
and
Chap.
18.25
,
26.
Chap.
19.3
,
4.
)
into
which
Christ
Baptized
,
Mark
1.8
.
And
are
these
distinct
,
diverse
,
or
several
Baptisms
?
Or
do
you
believe
that
they
are
but
one
Baptism
,
and
so
no
distinction
to
be
put
betwixt
them
?
If
yea
;
then
tell
us
upon
what
Ground
and
Certainty
you
would
have
us
believe
you
,
seeing
therein
you
agree
not
in
Doctrine
with
John
,
nor
with
Christ
and
his
Apostles
.
4.
Is
that
Baptism
which
you
Administer
,
a
Figure
of
the
Spiritual
Washing
away
of
Sins
by
the
Blood
of
Christ
,
and
of
Plunging
into
his
Name
,
Spirit
and
Life
?
Or
is
the
outward
Water
,
in
which
you
Baptize
,
and
your
Act
of
Baptizing
(
that
is
,
Plunging
or
Dipping
)
in
it
,
really
Sanctified
to
the
doing
of
it
(
and
so
consequently
doth
)
that
Work
,
and
so
no
Sign
,
Type
nor
Figure
?
Tell
us
plainly
what
you
your selves
believe
concerning
it
?
5.
Do
you
believe
,
that
those
mentioned
,
Acts
19.
(
on
whom
Paul
laid
his
Hands
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
came
upon
them
)
who
were
Baptized
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
had
before
that
been
Baptized
in
or
unto
John's
Baptism
,
(
who
Baptized
in
Water
)
were
they
then
again
plunged
or
overwhelmed
in
Outward
Water
?
If
yea
,
then
tell
us
upon
what
Scripture
Proof
your
Faith
is
grounded
,
seeing
there
is
no
Water
there
mentioned
:
And
if
some
were
then
Baptized
in
Water
a
second
time
,
why
then
may
there
not
be
as
much
Necessity
now
,
unto
such
as
have
not
received
the
Holy
Ghost
at
their
first
plunging
into
Water
,
to
be
Baptized
again
in
Water
a
second
time
?
And
why
was
the
Name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
there
only
used
,
and
not
the
Form
of
words
which
you
use
and
plead
for
,
seeing
it
was
after
that
Commission
?
Mat.
28.19
.
Let
us
know
your
Faith
concerning
these
things
;
and
whether
the
most
Orthodox
amongst
you
be
of
one
and
the
same
Judgment
concerning
them
.
6.
Why
do
you
call
you
Dipping
or
Plunging
People
into
Outward
Water
,
Sacred
Baptism
?
What
Scripture
President
and
Rule
have
you
for
that
Tearm
?
Did
John
the
Baptist
call
his
Baptism
Sacred
?
Or
did
Paul
call
it
so
?
(
Acts
19.3
,
4
▪
)
Or
was
it
not
the
Pope
of
Rome
in
his
Decretal
Epistle
,
that
called
his
Baptizing
in
Water
Sacred
Baptism
,
and
the
Water
in
which
he
Baptized
,
Holy
Water
?
And
do
not
you
use
the
same
Tearm
for
yours
?
But
tell
us
plainly
,
whether
it
be
your
Act
of
Dipping
in
Water
that
you
call
Sacred
,
or
the
Water
in
which
you
Dip
or
Plunge
People
?
Or
where
you
had
that
Tearm
to
call
your
Water-baptism
Sacred
,
if
not
from
the
Pope
of
Rome
.
7.
Wherefore
are
you
offended
at
us
for
calling
your
Baptizing
in
Water
,
Dipping
or
Plunging
,
seeing
that
we
understand
to
be
the
import
or
signification
of
the
Word
in
plain
English
.
8.
When
you
Dip
or
Plunge
People
into
Elementary
Water
,
whether
do
you
Dip
or
Plunge
them
in
reality
of
Truth
,
in
,
or
rather
into
the
Name
of
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
,
yea
,
or
nay
?
For
if
not
,
do
you
not
deceive
them
,
in
making
them
believe
that
you
Baptize
or
Plunge
them
(
according
as
Christ
commanded
his
Disciples
)
into
the
Name
of
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
,
when
in
reality
you
do
but
only
Dip
or
Plunge
them
into
Outward
Water
.
9.
Do
you
believe
,
that
the
Name
of
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
,
is
Elementary
Water
,
seeing
I
find
in
that
Scripture
,
Mat.
28.19
.
(
so
often
quoted
by
you
,
to
prove
your
Mission
to
Baptize
in
Water
)
that
Christ
gave
his
Disciples
Commission
to
Baptize
in
,
or
rather
into
,
(
as
it
is
in
the
Greek
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
)
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
Son
,
and
Holy
Spirit
,
but
nothing
said
of
Baptizing
in
Water
?
Or
do
you
believe
,
that
the
Father
,
the
Word
,
and
the
Spirit
,
are
one
?
Is
not
his
Name
Spiritual
,
representing
his
Nature
,
yea
,
Spirit
,
Power
,
and
Life
?
If
yea
,
why
then
do
you
seek
to
introduce
and
impose
your
Baptizing
in
Water
from
that
Scripture
?
And
why
do
you
presume
beyond
what
is
there
written
,
especially
seeing
that
you
your selves
Confess
,
that
the
Scriptures
are
the
Ground
and
Rule
of
your
Faith
?
Why
do
you
seek
to
impose
a
Faith
upon
us
from
that
Scripture
,
beyond
what
is
there
written
?
What
Ground
and
Rule
have
you
for
that
?
And
what
Ground
and
Rule
have
you
for
your
Baptizing
in
Water
from
that
Scripture
,
seeing
Water
is
not
in
the
least
mentioned
in
it
?
Tell
us
plainly
.
10.
Did
not
Jesus
Christ
who
gave
that
Commission
,
Mat.
28.19
.
Command
his
Disciples
to
tarry
at
Jerusalem
until
they
were
Endued
with
Power
from
on
High
?
Luke
24.49
.
And
whether
did
they
go
forth
to
Baptize
all
Nations
,
before
they
had
waited
at
Jerusalem
,
and
received
that
Power
?
Answer
plainly
.
11.
Have
all
you
that
go
forth
to
Baptize
in
Water
under
pretence
of
that
Commission
,
Mat.
28.19
.
obeyed
Christ's
Command
,
Recorded
Luke
24.49
.
Acts
1.4
.
And
have
you
received
that
Promise
and
Power
?
If
yea
,
what
is
it
?
A
Book
,
or
Books
,
or
Writings
without
,
or
the
Spirit
,
Power
,
and
Life
of
Christ
revealed
within
?
But
and
if
you
have
not
obeyed
Christ's
Command
as
aforesaid
,
but
run
before
you
have
received
that
Power
,
are
you
not
therein
manifest
Transgressors
of
the
Doctrine
and
Command
of
Christ
,
even
in
that
which
you
pretend
to
be
the
Ground
and
Rule
of
your
Faith
and
Mission
?
And
if
so
,
are
you
not
thereby
plainly
manifested
to
be
Intruders
,
and
false
Apostles
,
who
are
not
to
be
owned
nor
received
,
but
to
be
denied
and
judged
by
all
that
live
in
the
Power
of
God
,
and
true
Gospel
Fellowship
?
12.
Was
the
Apostle
Paul
any
whit
inferior
or
behind
the
very
Chief
Apostles
?
And
was
not
that
Commission
,
Mat.
28.19
.
as
much
his
as
yours
?
And
did
not
he
know
the
Mind
of
Christ
in
it
,
as
fully
as
any
of
you
the
Counsel
of
God
,
being
revealed
to
him
?
Notwithstanding
which
,
did
not
he
expresly
testifie
that
Christ
sent
him
not
to
Baptize
,
(
1
Cor.
1.17
.
)
but
to
Preach
the
Gospel
?
Now
if
you
have
a
Mission
or
Commission
to
Baptize
in
Water
,
which
belongs
not
to
him
as
fully
as
to
any
of
you
,
tell
us
plainly
who
gave
it
when
you
received
it
,
and
your
Scripture
for
it
?
13.
Do
you
believe
that
Paul
was
Called
and
fully
Endued
for
the
Ministry
?
And
was
his
Commission
,
Acts
26.17
,
18.
Evangelical
and
Full
,
for
the
Gathering
and
Planting
of
Churches
according
to
Gospel-Order
,
seeing
we
find
nothing
in
it
of
Christ's
sending
him
to
Baptize
?
Or
do
you
think
his
Commission
insufficient
for
the
End
aforesaid
,
because
he
was
not
sent
to
Baptize
in
Water
,
and
that
yours
now
is
more
Full
and
Evangelical
?
If
you
do
,
tell
us
what
Scripture
have
you
for
the
Ground
and
Rule
of
your
Faith
in
that
Matter
.
14.
Whether
do
you
believe
that
the
One
Baptism
spoken
of
Ephes.
4.5
.
be
that
of
John's
in
Water
,
or
that
of
Christ's
in
the
Holy
Ghost
,
seeing
both
John
,
Christ
,
and
his
true
Apostles
,
did
distinguish
betwixt
them
as
aforesaid
?
Now
if
you
say
,
that
that
One
Baptism
there
mentioned
is
the
Baptism
in
Water
,
then
I
Query
,
whether
you
do
believe
that
the
Baptism
of
or
in
the
Spirit
is
now
ceased
,
or
not
of
such
Absolute
Necessity
as
that
in
Water
,
seeing
the
Apostle
speaks
but
of
One
Lord
,
even
so
of
One
Faith
,
and
One
Baptism
?
And
whether
you
do
believe
,
that
any
now
are
or
can
be
really
made
Members
of
that
One
Body
,
and
true
Church
of
Christ
,
by
Water-baptism
,
or
any
other
way
,
than
by
being
Baptized
by
that
One
Spirit
,
into
that
One
Body
?
Answer
plainly

Thomas
Taylor

Christ
Exalted
above
Moses
,
and
the
Spirit
above
the
Letter
.
MANY
are
and
have
been
in
all
Ages
the
Enemies
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
of
the
Blessed
Truth
and
Life
Immortal
,
which
he
hath
brought
to
Light
by
his
Appearance
in
and
through
his
Servants
,
both
in
the
Days
of
his
Flesh
,
and
since
his
Ascention
,
by
the
pourings
out
of
his
Spirit
according
to
his
Holy
Promise
,
whereby
it
hath
come
to
pass
,
that
many
simple
Minds
have
been
greatly
hindred
from
receiving
the
Truth
for
a
time
,
until
it
pleased
the
Lord
,
by
the
Arm
of
his
Mighty
Power
,
to
Consume
the
Adversaries
of
his
Glory
,
and
so
to
remove
the
Stumbling-blocks
out
of
the
way
of
the
Simple
and
Upright
in
Heart
,
that
all
Pure
Holy
Praises
,
in
a
Living
Obedience
of
his
Gospel
,
might
be
given
to
him
.
And
amongst
those
Enemies
of
God
,
thou
Tho.
Hall
hast
risen
up
in
great
Malice
,
and
Wickedness
,
through
the
hardness
of
thy
Impenitent
Heart
,
heaping
up
Wrath
against
the
Day
of
Wrath
upon
thy
own
Soul
,
and
doing
despight
against
the
Spirit
of
God's
Grace
,
that
hath
sought
by
all
means
possible
to
win
thee
to
Repentance
;
but
thou
hast
closed
thy
Eye
,
and
stopped
that
Ear
in
thee
,
that
should
see
and
hear
the
Things
of
God
,
and
so
instead
of
believing
in
,
and
following
the
Lord
Jesus
and
his
Gospel
,
thou
hast
in
pretence
chosen
the
Killing
Letter
of
Moses's
Law
to
thy
own
Confusion
,
and
hath
set
at
naught
the
Son
of
God
,
by
Mocking
and
Scoffing
at
his
Light
and
Spirit
in
these
Days
,
as
the
Rebellious
Jews
did
at
him
of
Old
,
who
derided
him
and
his
Doctrine
,
saying
,
They
were
Moses's
Disciples
,
but
as
for
that
Fellow
Christ
,
(
as
they
Blasphemously
called
him
)
they
knew
not
whence
he
was
:
So
thou
would'st
be
accounted
a
Disciple
of
Moses
,
and
Pleader
for
his
Law
and
Ordinances
,
which
never
did
,
nor
never
can
,
make
any
thing
perfect
,
as
the
Apostle
sheweth
at
large
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Hebrews
;
but
as
for
J●sus
Christ
,
he
is
of
little
Value
to
thee
,
nor
hath
any
room
in
the
Inn
of
thy
Corrupt
Heart
,
but
thou
wouldst
make
him
a
Drudge
to
thy
unclean
Will
,
that
when
thou
hast
done
him
,
and
his
Spirit
and
Light
all
the
Despight
thou
canst
,
thou
would'st
have
him
to
Save
thee
for
a
feigned
Profession
sake
,
which
stinks
in
his
Nostrils
;
for
from
the
Lord
I
do
here
again
declare
unto
thee
,
that
all
thy
Prayers
,
Performances
and
Pleadings
,
are
Abomination
in
his
sight
:
And
as
I
have
often
said
,
his
Hand
is
lifted
up
against
thee
,
and
will
assuredly
in
his
own
due
time
fall
heavy
upon
thee
,
and
will
grinde
thee
to
pouder
,
except
thou
speedily
Repent
;
for
in
the
Wages
of
Balaam
thou
art
,
in
the
great
Captivity
wandred
far
away
from
the
Everlasting
Gospel
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
a
meer
Stranger
to
the
Law
and
Covenant
of
his
Peace
,
not
knowing
neither
what
thou
sayest
,
nor
whereof
thou
affirmest
,
when
thou
Talkest
and
Writest
of
Moses
Law
and
Ordinances
,
and
would'st
set
them
up
as
the
Jews
did
and
do
,
to
vail
and
hide
Christ
(
the
End
of
the
Law
)
from
the
Minds
of
the
People
:
For
even
as
the
Apostle
said
of
the
Opposing
Jews
in
his
Day
,
so
I
may
truly
say
of
thee
,
That
even
to
this
very
Hour
,
for
want
of
Faith
in
Christ
,
the
Vail
of
Darkness
and
Ignorance
is
upon
thy
Heart
,
for
all
thy
Reading
and
Talking
of
the
Letter
of
Scripture
,
for
thou
wanting
Faith
in
Christ
,
(
the
Light
,
who
hath
the
Key
of
David
in
his
Hand
,
which
is
his
Light
and
Spirit
)
thou
gropest
like
a
Blind
Man
for
the
Way
,
and
canst
not
find
it
;
nay
,
though
it
be
most
plainly
witnessed
unto
in
the
Scriptures
,
and
declared
of
to
thee
by
us
the
Servants
of
Christ
in
these
Days
;
yet
for
all
that
can
be
said
or
writ
to
thee
,
thou
(
though
the
Wickedness
of
thy
Unbelieving
Heart
)
remainest
as
Ignorant
of
Christ
,
and
his
Covenant
,
and
Spiritual
Law
of
Life
,
as
if
thou
hadst
never
heard
nor
seen
any
thing
thereof
,
as
by
what
now
follows
,
I
know
to
every
seeing
Eye
,
will
most
plainly
and
easily
appear
.
And
now
to
his
purpose
,
(
God
willing
)
I
shall
set
down
some
of
thy
Errors
,
as
I
find
them
in
thy
last
Papers
,
which
are
so
gross
and
manifest
,
that
little
more
than
the
bare
setting
of
them
down
,
will
be
needful
to
discover
that
filthy
Puddle
of
Enmity
,
and
deep
Sink
of
Sin
that
lyes
hid
in
thy
Corrupted
Heart
against
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
his
Blessed
Spirit
of
Truth
,
the
only
Guide
of
all
Believing
Souls
in
these
Gospel
Days
.
And
first
,
thou
T.
Hall
says
,
See
whether
a
Man
ought
not
to
give
his
Ears
,
and
Heart
,
and
Soul
,
and
Body
,
and
Eyes
,
to
harken
to
and
believe
,
as
duly
to
the
Moral
Law
,
as
to
Christ
the
Prophet
.
Nay
,
there
is
more
Charge
and
Command
lyes
upon
the
Observation
of
the
Law
,
than
for
the
Gospel
,
as
by
Moses
's
several
places
of
Warning
,
and
in
respect
of
several
Dangers
;
though
it
be
said
,
He
that
harkens
not
to
the
Prophet
Christ
,
shall
be
cut
off
,
there
is
as
much
spoken
of
the
Law
.
I
Answer
,
Who
but
an
Unbelieving
Jew
could
ever
thus
have
gone
about
to
Undervalue
and
Dethrone
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
as
this
Tho.
Hall
doth
,
who
lays
more
weight
upon
the
Observation
of
Moses's
law
,
which
had
the
Shadow
,
than
upon
the
Everlasting
Gospel
of
the
Son
of
God
,
and
so
he
neither
believes
Moses
,
nor
the
Prophets
,
nor
Christ
,
and
so
he
is
captivated
in
the
great
Captivity
of
the
Spiritual
Assyrian
,
the
Devil
,
who
hath
blinded
his
Mind
,
lest
the
Light
of
the
Glorious
Gospel
should
shine
unto
him
.
See
2
Cor.
4.3
,
4.
For
Moses
writ
of
Christ
,
saying
,
Deut.
18.
The
Lord
thy
God
shall
raise
thee
up
a
Prophet
like
unto
me
,
him
shalt
thou
hear
in
all
things
,
&c.
Now
the
Lord
Jesus
being
this
Prophet
when
he
appeared
in
the
Days
of
his
Flesh
,
he
made
manifest
to
such
as
believed
in
him
what
was
necessary
for
them
then
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Fathers
Mind
and
Will
after
his
Ascention
,
by
his
Blessed
Spirit
,
as
he
said
John
16.12
,
&c.
I
have
yet
many
things
to
speak
unto
you
,
but
ye
cannot
bear
them
now
;
howbeit
when
he
the
Spirit
of
Truth
is
come
,
he
will
guide
you
into
all
Truth
;
for
he
shall
not
speak
of
himself
,
but
whatsoever
he
shall
hear
,
that
shall
he
speak
;
and
he
will
shew
you
things
to
come
:
He
shall
glorifie
me
,
for
he
shall
take
of
mine
,
and
shall
shew
it
unto
you
.
All
things
that
the
Father
hath
are
mine
;
therefore
,
said
I
,
he
shall
take
of
mine
and
shall
shew
it
unto
you
.
So
by
this
it
's
evident
,
that
this
T.
H.
speaks
not
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
for
he
would
set
up
Moses
the
Servant
above
Christ
the
Lord
of
all
;
and
so
instead
of
glorifying
Christ
,
dishonours
him
exceedingly
.
And
as
Moses
had
so
plainly
writ
of
Christ
,
and
●●ected
all
to
harken
to
him
when
he
appeared
,
upon
Pain
of
Eternal
Death
,
so
did
also
all
the
Prophets
write
of
the
Glory
of
Christ's
Day
,
and
pointed
to
him
as
the
Sum
and
Substance
of
all
,
over
all
God
Blessed
for
Evermore
.
And
so
in
the
Transfiguration
,
when
Moses
and
Elias
the
Servants
were
gone
,
Christ
only
was
left
with
an
Eternal
Witness
of
God
out
of
the
Bright
Cloud
,
saying
,
This
is
my
Beloved
Son
,
hear
him
,
Mat.
17.1
,
&c.
And
so
this
Tho.
Hall
is
a
grievous
Liar
,
who
says
,
There
is
more
Charge
and
Command
for
hearing
Moses
than
Christ
;
for
even
then
when
the
Law
was
in
use
amongst
the
Jews
,
yet
Moses
as
from
God
,
doth
Charge
all
upon
Pain
of
Death
,
to
hear
and
obey
the
Voice
of
Christ
in
his
Appearance
,
as
is
said
before
.
And
as
for
the
danger
,
the
Apostle
reasoneth
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Hebrews
quite
contrary
to
this
T.
H.
for
saith
the
Apostle
,
Heb.
12.25
.
See
that
ye
refuse
not
him
(
to
wit
,
Christ
)
that
speaketh
;
for
if
they
escaped
no●
that
refused
him
that
spake
on
Earth
,
much
more
shall
not
we
escape
,
if
we
turn
away
from
him
that
speaketh
from
Heaven
.
Also
see
Heb.
2.1
,
&c.
See
what
thou
hast
chosen
,
Tho.
Hall
:
How
thou
hast
chosen
the
Earthly
before
the
Heavenly
,
the
Killing
Letter
before
the
Heavenly
Spirit
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
which
giveth
Life
;
and
the
Shadowing
Law
of
the
Servant
before
the
Living
Law
of
the
Master
Jesus
Christ
,
who
was
counted
worthy
of
more
Glory
than
Moses
,
in
as
much
as
he
that
builded
the
House
,
is
more
worthy
than
the
House
.
See
Heb.
3.3
.
But
when
we
say
,
that
Moses's
Law
is
a
killing
Letter
,
and
made
nothing
perfect
,
this
T.
Hall
,
like
a
wicked
Man
,
is
ready
to
cry
out
of
us
,
as
though
we
broached
some
new
or
strange
Doctrine
,
when
as
it
is
no
other
than
the
plain
downright
Doctrine
of
the
Holy
Apostles
,
and
Servants
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
set
down
in
Scripture
,
as
you
may
read
,
without
our
adding
or
diminishing
any
thing
at
all
.
And
to
this
purpose
see
2
Cor.
3.
where
are
these
words
Verse
6
,
&c.
Who
also
hath
made
us
able
Ministers
of
the
New
Testament
,
not
of
the
Letter
,
but
of
the
Spirit
;
for
the
Letter
killeth
,
but
the
Spirit
giveth
Life
.
But
if
the
Ministration
of
Death
,
written
and
engraven
in
Stones
,
was
glorious
,
(
Mark
this
,
though
he
calls
the
Law
glorious
in
its
time
,
yet
he
calls
it
the
Ministration
of
Death
)
so
that
the
Children
of
Israel
could
not
stedfastly
behold
the
face
of
Moses
,
for
the
Glory
of
his
Countenance
,
which
Glory
was
to
be
done
away
:
How
shall
not
the
Ministration
of
the
Spirit
be
rather
Glorious
?
For
if
the
Ministration
of
Condemnation
be
Glory
,
much
more
doth
the
Ministration
of
Righteousness
exceed
in
Glory
.
For
even
that
which
was
made
glorious
,
had
no
Glory
in
this
respect
,
by
reason
of
the
Glory
that
excelleth
.
For
〈◊〉
that
which
is
done
away
was
glorious
,
much
more
that
which
remaineth
is
glorious
.
Seeing
then
that
we
have
such
hope
,
we
use
great
plainness
of
Speech
.
And
not
as
Moses
,
which
put
a
Vail
over
his
Face
,
that
the
Children
of
Israel
could
not
stedfastly
look
to
the
end
of
that
which
is
abolished
;
But
their
Minds
were
blinded
:
For
until
this
day
remaineth
the
same
Vail
untaken
away
in
the
reading
of
the
Old
Testament
;
which
Vail
is
done
away
in
Christ
.
But
even
unto
this
day
,
when
Moses
is
read
,
the
Vail
is
upon
their
Heart
.
Nevertheless
,
when
it
shall
turn
to
the
Lord
,
the
Vail
shall
be
taken
away
.
Now
the
Lord
is
that
Spirit
,
and
where
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
is
,
there
is
liberty
.
But
we
all
,
with
open
face
beholding
as
in
a
Glass
the
Glory
of
the
Lord
,
are
changed
into
the
same
Image
,
from
Glory
to
Glory
,
even
as
by
the
Spirit
of
the
Lord
.
Here
this
T.
Hall
might
as
well
have
condemned
Paul
as
us
,
for
I
say
,
that
here
is
more
spoken
for
a
Jewish
Spirit
to
catch
at
,
than
in
our
Writings
;
for
I
say
,
nothing
comparable
to
this
can
be
brought
out
of
our
Writings
,
for
a
seeming
denial
,
and
making
void
,
of
Moses's
Law
,
for
here
he
calls
it
,
not
only
a
killing
Letter
,
but
even
a
Ministration
of
Death
and
Condemnation
,
done
away
and
abolished
,
and
never
able
to
remove
the
Vail
of
the
Heart
from
any
in
reading
of
it
.
And
so
whereas
this
Hall
is
used
to
bring
Psal.
19
4
,
7
,
&c.
for
establishing
his
Dreams
about
Moses's
Law
,
where
it
is
said
,
The
Law
of
the
Lord
is
perfect
,
converting
the
Soul
:
He
might
easily
see
it
was
not
Moses's
Letter
,
Ministration
or
Law
,
which
Paul
here
says
,
was
K●lling
and
Condemning
to
all
that
came
under
it
,
to
get
Life
by
it
.
But
David
speaks
there
,
of
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
Life
in
Christ
Jesus
,
which
opened
the
blind
Eyes
of
his
Mind
,
and
wrought
the
Holy
Fear
of
God
in
his
Heart
,
and
so
converted
his
straying
Soul
,
to
follow
the
Lord
through
Faith
in
his
Name
,
as
it
is
with
the
Faithful
at
this
day
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
Rom.
8.1
,
&c.
There
is
now
therefore
no
Condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
Jesus
:
who
walk
not
after
the
Flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
.
For
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
Life
,
in
Christ
Jesus
,
hath
set
me
free
from
the
Law
of
Sin
and
Death
.
For
that
which
the
Law
could
not
do
,
in
that
it
was
weak
through
the
Flesh
,
Christ
doth
in
us
and
for
us
.
And
that
the
Law
of
Moses
made
nothing
perfect
,
it
is
the
Apostles
express
words
also
,
Heb.
7.18
,
19.
For
there
is
verily
a
disanulling
of
the
Commandment
going
before
(
that
is
,
as
he
reasons
all
along
in
this
Chapter
,
the
Law
of
Moses
in
the
Letter
)
for
the
Weakness
and
Vnprofitableness
of
it
:
(
suitable
to
that
before
mentioned
in
Rom.
8.3
.
)
For
the
Law
made
nothing
perfect
,
but
the
bringing
in
of
a
better
Hope
did
;
by
which
we
draw
nigh
unto
God
.
Now
if
any
be
ignorant
of
what
this
Better
Hope
is
,
which
makes
perfect
,
and
by
which
Believers
draw
nigh
to
God
,
they
may
know
it
is
Christ
Jesus
the
Lord
of
Life
and
Glory
,
that
quickning
Spirit
also
,
by
which
the
Vail
of
the
Heart
is
rent
away
in
them
that
believe
,
which
the
Old
Covenant
made
with
the
Jews
at
their
coming
out
of
Egypt
could
not
do
,
because
it
was
weak
through
the
Flesh
,
as
is
said
before
.
And
so
thou
T.
Hall
,
and
all
the
Unbelieving
World
going
out
from
the
Spirit
,
into
the
Letter
in
your
Fleshly
Minds
and
Wills
,
which
is
Enmity
to
God
,
and
is
neither
subject
to
the
Law
of
God
,
nor
indeed
can
be
as
Paul
saith
Rom.
8.
you
bring
in
nothing
but
Condemnation
to
your
poor
Souls
,
for
you
are
so
proud
in
Heart
,
that
you
will
not
come
to
Christ
that
meek
lowly
Lamb
,
to
be
taught
by
his
Light
and
Spirit
,
which
shineth
in
your
Consciences
,
reproving
you
daily
for
your
Unbelief
:
But
you
think
,
by
your
exercising
of
your selves
in
your
own
Wills
and
Times
,
in
some
outward
Observations
of
your
own
devising
,
called
Religion
,
to
get
Acceptance
unto
God
in
them
(
though
to
his
Son
you
are
utter
Enemies
.
)
But
truly
,
instead
of
Life
,
you
bring
Death
,
for
the
Wages
of
these
your
sinful
Doings
,
and
defiled
Worships
,
is
Death
.
And
that
thou
,
T.
Hall
,
art
an
Enemy
to
Christ
and
his
Blessed
Spirits
Teaching
,
thy
words
in
thy
Papers
will
still
fully
and
more
abundantiy
shew
,
which
are
these
which
I
shall
now
set
down
,
for
thou
,
T.
Hall
,
in
Page
11.
wickedly
sayst
,
Be
it
known
unto
you
Quakers
,
God
and
Christ
had
no
such
an
intention
to
answer
the
Question
of
the
Man
in
the
Gospel
,
in
any
such
like
manner
,
to
seek
to
the
true
Worshipping
of
God
in
Spirit
and
Truth
;
but
Christ
,
instead
of
directing
the
Desire
of
the
Man
for
the
good
of
his
Soul
,
and
Glory
of
God
,
Christ
dees
not
send
him
or
bid
him
go
to
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
wait
for
it
:
Had
Christ
done
so
,
he
might
then
have
sent
or
directed
the
Man
out
of
the
way
to
get
Life
Eternal
,
and
so
further
from
God
than
before
,
for
then
the
Man
had
not
come
through
the
Father
to
him
,
according
to
John
6.44
,
45.
And
Page
15
further
erroniously
thou
say'st
,
You
Quakers
cannot
find
as
that
Christ
the
Prophet
did
give
any
Command
to
any
People
,
as
was
in
ignorance
of
the
Ways
to
Salvation
,
or
Life
Eternal
,
that
they
should
leave
off
to
be
taught
of
Moses
,
or
his
Law
,
or
Precepts
,
and
go
to
learn
of
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
let
that
teach
or
lead
them
,
God
forbid
.
O
miserable
Blindness
and
Ignorance
!
That
ever
any
Professing
God
or
Scripture
,
should
thus
belch
out
their
Enmity
against
the
Spirit
of
Truth
.
The
glorious
Promise
of
the
Father
,
without
which
all
Knowledge
,
and
all
Profession
,
is
a
meer
Nothing
,
but
a
heap
of
Darkness
and
Confusion
,
and
without
which
there
had
never
been
any
true
Prophet
,
nor
Scripture
of
Truth
;
for
Holy
Men
of
God
spoke
not
in
their
own
Wills
or
Times
,
but
as
they
were
moved
by
the
Holy
Ghost
(
the
Spirit
of
Truth
)
without
which
never
Man
did
,
nor
never
Man
can
,
come
to
any
Saving
Knowledge
of
God
or
Christ
,
or
the
Mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
and
Christ
;
and
therefore
saith
Paul
(
after
many
Years
zealous
Profession
of
Moses's
killing
Letter
)
That
which
the
Eye
hath
not
seen
,
nor
the
Ear
heard
,
nor
hath
entred
into
Man's
Heart
to
conceive
,
God
hath
revealed
them
to
us
by
his
Spirit
;
for
the
Spirit
of
God
(
that
Spirit
of
Truth
)
searcheth
all
things
,
even
the
deep
things
of
God
,
1
Cor.
2.9
,
10.
And
therefore
saith
the
same
Paul
,
2
Cor.
3.6
.
God
hath
made
us
able
Ministers
of
the
New
Testament
,
not
of
the
Letter
,
but
of
the
Spirit
,
for
the
Letter
killeth
,
but
the
Spirit
giveth
Life
.
And
therefore
saith
Christ
,
John
16.7
.
It
is
expedient
for
you
that
I
go
away
,
that
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
which
leads
into
all
Truth
,
may
come
,
who
is
the
Saints
Comforter
.
And
this
is
that
means
by
which
the
Father
draws
to
Christ
,
even
the
Spirit
of
Truth
(
and
not
as
thou
ignorantly
Dreamest
)
the
Letter
of
Moses's
Law
,
John
6.44
,
45.
And
so
,
T.
Hall
,
thou
art
not
far
from
that
unpardonable
Sin
of
Blasphemy
against
the
Holy
Ghost
,
who
says
,
That
if
Christ
had
directed
the
Man
in
the
Gospel
to
go
to
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
and
wait
for
it
,
he
had
directed
him
out
of
the
way
of
Life
.
O
sad
!
that
ever
such
a
Monster
of
Men
should
appear
in
these
days
,
when
the
Lord
is
so
graciously
arising
with
his
Healing
Wing
of
Light
,
Life
and
Spirit
,
to
save
his
Israel
out
of
the
Hands
of
their
Souls
Enemies
.
And
thou
,
T.
Hall
,
say'st
farther
,
God
forbid
that
Christ
should
send
or
direct
People
that
were
in
Ignorance
of
the
ways
of
Salvation
,
to
go
and
learn
of
the
Holy
Spirit
of
Truth
,
to
be
taught
of
it
,
and
not
at
Moses
's
Law
.
I
say
again
,
This
proceeds
from
the
same
bitter
Root
of
Error
and
Blasphemy
in
thee
that
the
former
did
;
and
so
Wo
,
Wo
,
Wo
,
to
that
Nest
that
hatches
such
Venomous
Birds
,
and
Cockatrice
Eggs
,
as
thou
dost
:
And
if
that
People
,
of
whom
thou
professest
thy self
a
Member
,
should
see
these
things
,
and
not
deny
thee
for
them
,
they
would
be
as
much
to
blame
as
thy self
,
who
hast
plunged
thy self
so
deep
into
the
Pit
of
Destruction
,
that
no
less
than
a
Miracle
of
Mercy
can
help
thee
to
see
and
acknowledge
the
Truth
of
God
whom
thou
hast
Blasphemed
.
For
O
thou
full
of
all
Unrighteousness
!
What
must
ignorant
People
come
to
know
the
things
of
God
by
,
but
only
by
the
Spirit
of
Truth
?
as
Paul
says
,
No
Man
knows
the
things
of
God
,
but
the
Spirit
of
God
,
1
Cor.
2.11
.
And
saith
Paul
,
Gal.
3.2
.
to
some
of
like
mind
with
this
T.
H.
concerning
Moses's
Law
,
This
only
would
I
learn
of
you
,
Received
ye
the
Spirit
by
the
Works
of
the
Law
,
or
by
the
Hearing
of
Faith
?
And
Verse
3.
Are
ye
so
foolish
?
having
begun
in
the
Spirit
,
are
ye
now
made
perfect
by
the
Flesh
?
Thus
he
shews
,
That
the
Spirit
of
God
is
received
into
the
Believing
Soul
,
through
the
hearing
of
Faith
preach'd
,
and
not
by
any
fleshly
conforming
to
Moses's
Letter
of
that
Law
;
for
saith
he
in
Ver.
10.
of
that
Chapter
,
As
many
as
are
of
the
Works
of
the
Law
,
are
under
the
Curse
:
For
it
is
written
,
Cursed
is
every
one
that
continueth
not
in
all
things
which
are
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Law
to
do
them
.
See
T.
Hall
,
what
thou
hast
done
for
thy self
(
and
wouldst
do
for
others
)
by
pleading
for
Moses's
Letter
of
the
Law
to
be
over
Christian
People
;
thou
hast
brought
thy self
under
the
Curse
;
for
they
that
come
under
that
Covenant
of
Works
,
must
not
only
do
all
things
written
in
the
Book
,
but
they
must
continue
therein
without
Sinning
or
Offending
against
it
,
otherwise
they
are
Cursed
;
as
the
Apostle
James
in
another
place
saith
,
He
that
keepeth
the
whole
Law
,
and
sinneth
in
one
Point
,
is
guilty
of
all
.
And
so
,
as
I
instanced
to
thee
in
that
of
the
Sabbath
day
,
for
though
in
thy
blind
Mind
thou
wouldst
be
a
Teacher
of
the
Law
,
yet
thou
neither
knowest
what
thou
say'st
,
nor
whereof
thou
affirmest
,
for
the
Sabbath-day
,
which
Moses
commanded
to
the
People
under
that
Covenant
,
was
the
Seventh
day
of
the
Week
,
which
thou
neither
keepest
thy self
,
nor
any
of
thy
Fellows
,
and
so
you
are
guilty
of
breaking
the
whole
Law
,
and
so
under
the
Curse
.
And
whereas
you
think
to
save
your
Heads
,
by
saying
,
You
keep
the
next
day
,
being
the
First
day
of
the
Week
,
for
a
Sabbath
;
that
will
help
you
nothing
at
all
,
for
the
Law
admitted
of
no
change
of
the
day
(
which
was
the
Seventh
from
the
Creation
)
into
another
day
:
And
so
the
Apostles
meeting
together
on
the
First
day
of
the
Week
,
was
so
far
from
establishing
the
legal
Sabbath
,
that
it
was
on
purpose
done
,
to
shew
that
Christ
,
the
end
of
the
Law
,
and
everlasting
Sabbath
of
Rest
to
his
People
,
was
come
.
And
so
to
thee
T.
Hall
,
and
all
of
like
mind
with
thee
,
I
say
as
Paul
to
the
Galatians
,
Chap.
4.21
,
&c.
Tell
me
,
ye
that
desire
to
be
under
the
Law
,
Do
ye
not
hear
the
Law
?
For
it
is
written
,
Abraham
had
two
Sons
,
the
one
by
a
Bond-woman
,
the
other
by
a
Free
.
But
he
who
was
of
the
Bond-woman
,
was
born
after
the
Flesh
;
but
he
of
the
Free
woman
,
was
by
promise
.
Which
things
are
an
Allegory
,
for
these
are
the
two
Covenants
,
the
one
from
Mount
Sinai
,
which
gendereth
to
Bondage
,
which
is
Agar
.
For
this
Agar
is
Mount
Sinai
in
Arabia
,
and
answereth
to
Jerusalem
which
now
is
,
and
is
in
Bondage
with
her
Children
.
But
Jerusalem
which
is
above
,
is
free
,
which
is
the
Mother
of
us
all
.
For
it
is
written
,
Rejoyce
,
thou
barren
,
that
bearest
not
,
break
forth
and
cry
,
thou
that
travellest
not
,
for
the
Desolate
have
many
moe
Children
than
thee
which
hath
an
Husband
.
Now
we
,
Brethren
,
as
Isaac
was
,
are
the
Children
of
the
Promise
.
But
as
then
,
he
that
was
born
after
the
Flesh
persecuted
him
that
was
born
after
the
Spirit
,
even
so
it
is
now
.
Nevertheless
,
what
saith
the
Scripture
?
Cast
out
the
Bond
woman
and
her
Son
;
for
the
Son
of
the
Bond-woman
shall
not
be
Heir
with
the
Son
of
the
Free-woman
.
So
see
Tho.
Hall
where
thou
art
,
a
Child
of
the
Bond-woman
,
Born
after
the
Flesh
,
Persecuting
us
whom
God
of
his
Free
Love
in
Christ
Jesus
,
hath
Begotten
and
Born
Spiritually
unto
himself
,
to
Serve
and
Worship
him
in
his
own
Free
Spirit
,
and
so
in
the
same
to
bear
witness
for
him
,
against
thine
,
and
all
the
Slanderous
Lying
Tongues
and
Pens
,
who
will
not
have
Christ
by
his
Eternal
Spirit
of
Truth
to
Rule
,
yea
,
to
be
King
,
Law-giver
and
Saviour
in
his
People
:
But
this
Wicked
Antichristian
Spirit
of
yours
,
as
the
Lord
both
hath
and
will
by
the
Brightness
of
his
Appearing
discover
,
so
he
will
likewise
,
by
the
Spirit
of
his
Mouth
,
utterly
consume
,
and
for
Ever
destroy
.
And
thus
the
Lord
Jesus
,
the
Son
of
the
Father
,
shall
Triumph
over
thee
and
all
his
Enemies
in
Righteousness
;
for
though
the
Law
and
Covenant
of
Moses
,
was
for
the
time
until
Christ
came
to
the
Jews
,
of
great
use
,
yet
Christ
being
come
,
the
Promised
Seed
,
Grace
and
Truth
,
yea
,
Life
and
Immortality
in
its
Glory
was
made
manifest
and
enjoyed
in
the
Believers
both
then
and
now
,
and
did
as
far
,
yea
,
much
more
transcend
the
Glory
of
the
Law
,
as
the
Sun
doth
the
Moon
;
and
therefore
the
Jews
,
the
whole
Fleshly
Seed
of
Abraham
,
had
their
New-Moon
Feasts
,
to
signifie
the
shadowy
Night
Dispensation
they
were
under
,
short
of
the
Day
;
and
therefore
saith
Malachi
,
the
last
Prophet
under
the
Law
save
John
Baptist
,
in
his
last
Chapter
,
To
you
that
fear
my
Name
,
shall
the
Sun
of
Righteousness
arise
with
healing
under
his
Wings
:
so
though
in
the
Law
there
was
Condemnation
against
Sin
,
yet
the
Life
and
Healing
Vertue
is
only
in
Jesus
Christ
.
And
this
is
the
very
thing
that
John
,
Chap.
1.
saith
,
The
Law
was
given
by
Moses
,
but
Grace
and
Truth
came
by
Jesus
Christ
:
So
that
the
Offender
under
Moses
died
without
Mercy
;
but
the
Believer
in
Christ
,
and
the
Abider
through
Faith
in
Christ
,
is
Healed
by
the
Mercy
that
is
in
him
,
to
all
that
so
are
found
in
him
.
And
so
you
that
daily
Confess
you
do
what
you
ought
not
to
do
,
and
leave
undone
what
you
ought
to
do
,
and
have
no
Health
in
you
,
you
shew
plainly
that
you
never
yet
knew
Christ
,
but
are
yet
in
your
Sins
under
the
Law
,
which
makes
nothing
perfect
;
and
so
all
your
Righteousness
in
this
state
,
is
like
menstruous
Rags
indeed
,
and
your
best
Works
Sin
;
and
so
you
being
ignorant
of
God's
Righteousness
,
and
going
about
to
establish
your
own
Righteousness
,
have
not
submitted
to
the
Righteousness
of
God
,
which
is
Christ
.
For
that
no
man
is
justified
in
the
sight
of
God
by
the
Works
of
the
Law
is
evident
,
for
the
Just
shall
live
by
Faith
.
And
the
Law
is
not
of
Faith
;
but
the
man
that
doth
them
shall
live
in
them
,

Now
T.
H.
What
would'st
thou
have
judged
of
Paul
if
thou
hadst
been
in
his
time
?
Surely
the
same
that
thou
dost
of
us
,
who
are
of
the
same
Holy
Faith
with
him
,
and
so
would'st
have
Condemned
the
Just
,
and
Chosen
Barrabas
.
Obj.
But
saist
thou
,
Paul
saith
,
Gal.
3.
That
the
Law
was
our
School-master
to
bring
us
to
Christ
:
And
from
thence
would
infer
,
That
Moses
's
Law
in
the
Letter
is
to
be
a
School-master
to
all
People
now
,
to
bring
them
to
Christ
.
Answ.
To
which
I
say
,
first
,
as
I
said
before
;
and
it
is
most
certainly
true
,
that
those
words
,
[
to
bring
us
,
Gal.
3.24
.
]
is
not
in
the
Greek
Copy
out
of
which
the
English
was
taken
,
but
put
in
by
the
Translators
who
did
it
,
as
supposing
those
words
made
up
the
Sence
:
But
these
words
,
to
wit
,
[
to
bring
us
]
are
so
far
from
helping
the
Sence
,
that
they
quite
alter
it
;
as
though
the
Letter
of
the
Law
of
Moses
,
were
the
Means
or
Instrument
by
which
the
Father
draws
People
to
Christ
under
the
New
Covenant
,
as
this
T.H.
foolishly
Dreams
,
as
is
manifest
by
his
often
thereupon
bringing
in
that
of
John
6.44
,
45.
where
it
is
said
by
Christ
,
That
no
man
can
come
to
him
,
but
whom
the
Father
,
that
sen
him
draws
,
and
they
shall
all
be
taught
of
God
,
as
it
was
written
in
the
Prophets
.
This
Drawing
of
People
to
Christ
by
the
Father
is
by
Moses
'
Law
,
saith
he
,
and
this
Teaching
of
God
,
spoken
of
by
the
Prophets
,
is
by
the
La●
of
Moses
,
saith
he
,
which
was
a
Law
in
the
Letter
.
Now
that
this
Interpretation
of
this
T.
H.
is
an
Absolute
Wronging
of
Christ
,
and
Wresting
the
Scripture
,
all
may
see
,
who
do
consider
the
drift
of
Christ's
Words
,
with
the
Parties
he
spoke
unto
in
that
place
;
for
there
he
is
speaking
to
a
People
that
were
under
the
Law
;
who
for
all
that
the
Law
in
the
Letter
could
do
for
them
,
remained
still
ignorant
of
the
Great
Mystery
Christ
;
for
Christ
in
Man
,
the
Hope
of
Glory
,
was
the
Great
Mystery
which
Paul
was
sent
to
Preach
,
Col.
1.28
.
And
therefore
when
Peter
said
to
Christ
,
that
he
was
the
Son
of
God
,
Christ
tells
him
,
That
Flesh
and
Blood
had
not
revealed
it
to
him
,
but
my
Father
that
is
in
Heaven
:
And
how
did
the
Father
reveal
Christ
to
Peter
?
What
,
by
the
Letter
of
the
Law
,
as
this
Man
saith
?
By
no
means
;
but
even
as
Paul
saith
,
1
Cor.
2.
By
the
Holy
Spirit
.
And
as
he
saith
in
another
place
,
1
Cor.
12.3
.
No
Man
can
call
Jesus
Lord
,
but
by
the
Holy
Ghost
.
And
received
ye
the
Spirit
,
saith
he
,
Gal.
3.2
.
by
the
Deeds
of
the
Law
,
or
by
the
Hearing
of
Faith
?
And
this
is
that
Glorious
Promise
of
the
Father
,
spoken
of
by
the
Prophet
,
and
recited
by
Christ
,
which
was
more
manifest
in
the
Gospel
Day
,
according
to
that
well
known
place
in
Joel
,
and
mentioned
by
Peter
,
which
saith
,
I
will
pour
out
my
Spirit
upon
all
Flesh
,
Acts
2●
And
so
this
being
so
;
and
the
Foundation
of
this
Tho.
Hall
being
removed
,
his
Building
will
fall
.
And
now
again
to
the
Business
of
the
Laws
School
mastership
,
That
it
was
never
intended
by
God
to
be
so
any
longer
than
until
Christ
,
the
very
next
words
,
to
wit
,
there
in
Gal.
3.25
.
shew
:
For
when
he
had
said
that
the
Law
was
their
School-master
,
(
to
wit
,
unto
or
until
Christ
)
he
presently
adds
,
But
when
Faith
is
come
,
we
are
no
longer
under
a
School-master
;
and
this
he
Illustrates
in
Chap.
4.1
,
&c.
by
a
Comparison
taken
from
an
Heir
in
his
Nonage
,
and
at
full
Years
;
saying
,
The
Heir
while
he
is
a
Child
is
in
one
Condition
,
but
when
at
full
Years
in
another
:
So
the
Church
of
God
under
the
School-mastership
of
the
Law
,
was
in
its
Childhood
;
but
when
the
Fulness
of
God's
time
came
for
the
Manifestation
of
his
Christ
,
and
the
Pourings
forth
of
his
Glorious
Spirit
,
according
to
Prophesie
and
Promise
,
then
came
the
Church
to
be
like
the
Heir
at
full
Age
,
entering
into
the
Blessed
Possession
of
the
Father's
,
Kingdom
,
the
Inheritance
of
Saints
in
Light
.
And
therefore
,
saith
Christ
,
the
Law
and
the
Prophets
were
unto
John
,
since
which
time
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
preached
,
and
People
press
into
it
.
And
amongst
them
that
are
Born
of
Women
,
there
hath
not
a
isen
a
greater
Prophet
than
John
B●p●●st
;
but
he
that
is
least
in
the
Kingdom
of
God
is
greate
than
he
:
Therefore
Wo
is
unto
thee
Tho.
Hall
,
and
all
such
Jewish
Spirits
,
that
would
shut
up
this
Blessed
Kingdom
of
God
from
Men
,
and
you
will
neither
enter
into
the
Kingdom
of
God
your selves
,
nor
suffer
others
.
Obj.
But
what
then
was
the
Law
for
?
Answ.
Paul
answers
,
The
Law
was
added
because
of
Transgression
till
the
Seed
(
which
is
Christ
)
came
,
to
which
the
Promise
was
:
And
so
(
saith
he
)
before
Faith
came
we
were
kept
under
the
Law
,
shut
up
unto
the
Faith
afterwards
to
be
revealed
,
Gal.
3.23
.
Then
saith
he
,
Verse
24.
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
The
Law
was
our
School-master
unto
Christ
;
but
never
a
word
of
bringing
us
to
Christ
by
Moses's
Law
,
but
a
shuting
up
.
We
were
shut
up
,
schooled
,
saith
he
,
(
or
hard
kept
to
our
Task
,
and
Whipped
)
.
But
he
that
reveals
Christ
to
the
Soul
,
and
draws
the
Soul
to
Christ
,
is
the
Father
,
by
the
Living
Power
of
his
own
Eternal
Spirit
,
whom
the
Fleshly
World
knows
not
.
Obj.
But
must
not
the
Soul
be
humbled
in
the
sight
and
sence
of
its
Sin
,
before
it
can
receive
Christ
for
Salvation
?
Answ.
I
say
,
yea
,
but
this
is
the
Work
of
Christ
also
,
who
by
his
own
Eternal
Spirit
,
(
which
ministers
his
Fiery
Law
)
doth
Convince
the
World
of
all
their
Sins
of
Unbelief
,
and
mighty
Transgressions
,
whereby
they
have
dishonoured
him
,
and
slighted
all
his
Love
;
and
so
that
which
now
makes
all
the
Sins
of
People
so
Damnable
,
is
their
Sin
of
not
believing
in
and
receiving
Christ
,
the
Light
of
the
World
,
into
their
Heares
,
to
dwell
,
guide
and
rule
there
;
and
so
he
that
believeth
not
is
Damned
already
,
saith
Christ
;
and
this
is
the
Condemnation
,
that
Light
is
come
into
the
World
,
and
Men
believed
it
not
.
And
ye
search
the
Scriptures
,
(
saith
Christ
to
those
Jews
that
boasted
of
being
Moses's
Disciples
)
for
in
them
ye
think
to
have
Eternal
Life
,
and
they
are
they
that
testifie
of
me
;
but
ye
will
no●
come
to
me
that
ye
may
have
Life
.
Also
consider
,
that
Paul
for
all
his
Zealous
Profession
of
Moses's
Law
,
and
Letter-knowledge
,
was
never
truly
sensible
of
,
nor
truly
humbled
for
his
Sins
,
until
Christ
appeared
from
Heaven
,
and
struck
him
down
.
See
Tho.
Hall
how
Christ
here
sets
forth
the
Nature
of
Carnal
Professors
of
the
Letter
of
Scripture
,
and
Boasters
of
Moses's
Law
,
they
are
dead
from
God
,
because
they
will
not
come
to
Christ
,
in
whom
only
is
Life
.
They
thought
to
have
had
Eternal
Life
in
the
Scriptures
which
test
fi
d
of
Christ
,
but
they
sticking
in
the
Form
,
and
dead
Profession
of
the
Letter
,
without
Christ
,
(
the
Living
Power
of
God
to
Salvation
)
they
could
not
have
Life
Eternal
;
Fo●
he
only
that
hath
the
Son
of
God
hath
Life
;
and
he
that
hath
not
the
Son
hath
not
Life
,
but
the
Wrath
of
God
abides
upon
him
.
For
you
being
under
the
Law
,
as
is
said
before
,
are
under
the
Curse
;
and
the
Law
worketh
Wrath
,
saith
Paul
,
and
that
is
the
reason
that
the
Carnal
Professors
of
the
Letter
are
Persecutors
of
the
Life
of
Christ
where-ever
it
is
made
manifest
,
in
Son
or
Daughter
,
in
all
Ages
,
as
Paul
saith
in
that
forementioned
place
,
Gal.
4.
He
that
was
Born
after
the
Flesh
,
Persecuted
him
that
was
Born
after
the
Spirit
,
even
so
it
is
now
:
But
the
Lamb
shall
have
the
Victory
,
and
the
mouth
of
all
Iniquity
shall
be
stopped
,
Glory
to
the
Lord
our
God
over
all
for
Evermore
.
Another
Piece
of
thy
Enmity
(
Tho.
Hall
)
against
Christ
and
his
Spirit
,
is
manifest
in
thy
Paper
,
where
thou
sayest
,
That
there
is
no
Scripture
that
warrants
Peoples
going
from
the
Law
as
Moses
taught
,
though
it
's
a
Law
written
in
the
Letter
,
to
hear
and
learn
at
any
other
,
either
a
Christ
Called
a
Law-giver
,
or
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
as
you
call
it
.
Answ.
So
here
all
may
see
,
that
thou
art
so
full
of
Enmity
against
Christ
,
that
thou
canst
not
endure
to
have
him
honoured
with
the
Title
of
Law-giver
;
and
thou
art
so
full
of
Darkness
,
that
thou
knows
not
,
nor
wilt
believe
,
that
God's
People
have
any
such
thing
indeed
,
as
the
Holy
Spirit
to
guide
and
teach
them
;
but
comes
forth
with
thy
scornful
Words
(
like
the
Jews
that
Crowned
him
with
Thorns
,
and
Spit
in
his
Face
)
saying
,
A
Christ
called
a
Law-giver
,
or
the
Spirit
of
Truth
,
as
you
call
it
.
So
it
's
high
time
for
all
People
to
take
heed
of
falling
into
the
Error
of
these
Men
,
to
wit
,
Tho.
Hall
,
and
his
Fellows
,
who
have
chosen
the
Killing
Letter
of
Moses's
Law
,
and
denied
the
Son
of
God
,
and
his
Blessed
Spirit
;
and
so
have
builded
the
Babel
of
their
Rotten
Profession
upon
a
Foundation
of
Sand
,
to
wit
,
their
own
Righteousness
,
which
in
the
Day
of
God
will
utterly
fail
them
;
for
every
Man's
Works
must
be
tried
by
Fire
:
And
so
all
such
as
have
not
Christ
for
their
Foundation
must
Perish
.
For
other
Foundation
can
no
man
lay
,
than
that
which
is
laid
,
even
Christ
,
who
is
our
ALL
,
and
will
Reign
over
all
his
Enemies
for
Evermore
.
And
so
let
no
Man
trouble
us
any
more
,
for
we
bear
in
our
Bodies
the
Marks
of
the
Lord
Jesus
:
And
Ever-praised
be
his
Name
,
who
hath
given
us
an
Understanding
to
know
him
,
the
Salvation
of
God
,
to
be
in
us
,
and
we
in
him
;
and
so
to
be
Witnesses
for
him
before
Men
,
that
the
time
of
the
fulfilling
of
his
Scriptures
is
come
,
which
saith
,
Jer.
31.31
,
&c.
Heb.
8.
Behold
the
Days
come
,
saith
the
Lord
,
that
I
will
make
a
New
Covenant
with
the
House
of
Judah
,
and
with
the
House
of
Israel
,
after
those
Days
;
not
according
to
the
Covenant
which
I
made
with
their
Fathers
,
in
the
Day
when
I
took
them
by
the
Hand
,
to
lead
them
out
of
the
Land
of
Egypt
,
which
my
Covenant
they
broke
,
although
I
was
an
Husband
to
them
,
saith
the
Lord
;
but
this
is
the
Covenant
that
I
will
make
with
them
,
after
those
Days
,
saith
the
Lord
;
I
will
put
my
Laws
into
their
minds
,
and
write
them
in
their
hearts
:
and
I
will
be
to
them
a
God
,
and
they
shall
be
to
me
a
People
.
And
they
shall
not
teach
every
man
his
Neighbours
,
and
every
man
his
Brother
,
saying
,
Know
the
Lord
:
for
they
shall
all
know
me
,
from
the
least
to
the
greatest
.
For
I
will
be
merciful
to
their
Vnrighteousness
,
and
their
Sins
and
their
Iniquities
will
I
remember
no
more
.
Now
in
that
he
saith
,
A
New
Covenant
,
he
hath
made
the
first
Old
.
Now
that
which●d
cayeth
and
waxeth
old
,
is
ready
to
vanish
away
.
This
is
the
Apostle's
Conclusion
from
the
former
words
,
as
is
to
be
seen
in
the
last
Verse
of
that
8th
Chapter
to
the
Hebrews
.
Now
mind
,
whoever
thou
art
,
that
reads
these
words
,
that
the
Covenant
which
here
he
calls
Old
,
was
that
which
God
made
with
the
Fleshly
Seed
of
Abraham
at
their
coming
out
of
Egypt
,
which
is
mentioned
in
the
Writings
of
Moses
,
as
you
may
read
;
and
part
of
this
Covenant
was
the
Two
Tables
of
Stone
,
which
the
Lord
by
his
Angel
delivered
Moses
for
that
People
to
observe
and
keep
,
with
the
rest
of
what
Moses
had
in
Charge
for
them
,
and
set
down
in
the
outward
Book
,
to
be
done
,
and
which
the
Children
of
Israel
did
Promise
and
Covenant
that
they
would
observe
and
do
,
but
they
broke
Covenant
with
God
,
(
as
all
Flesh
ever
did
,
and
doth
at
this
Day
)
and
so
the
Lord
regarded
them
not
;
for
no
Flesh
can
do
what
the
Pure
Spiritual
Lord
God
commands
them
,
having
no
more
help
thereto
,
but
what
a
Law
or
Letter
without
can
furnish
them
withal
;
and
therefore
the
Lord
God
in
love
to
Man's
Soul
sent
Christ
into
the
World
,
to
be
his
own
Arm
and
Power
to
and
in
Man
,
to
bring
forth
that
Righteousness
and
Holiness
which
he
required
;
and
therefore
saith
Paul
,
after
he
saw
his
own
utter
unableness
to
do
the
Will
of
God
,
with
all
the
outward
Helps
that
ever
he
had
,
he
concludes
,
that
they
that
are
in
the
Flesh
cannot
please
God
,
let
them
turn
which
way
they
can
;
for
the
Enmity
against
the
Law
,
whilst
in
that
Principle
,
(
and
in
that
thou
T.
H.
art
)
still
remains
against
the
Spiritual
Law
of
God
,
as
he
saith
,
Rom.
8.7
.
For
the
Carnal
Mind
is
not
subject
to
the
Law
of
God
,
nor
indeed
can
be
.
And
therefore
as
Paul
,
so
must
all
come
to
Christ
,
the
Lord
that
Spirit
,
to
know
him
in
them
,
to
destroy
the
Enmity
out
of
them
;
that
so
the
Will
of
God
,
and
Law
of
his
Mouth
,
which
is
Spiritual
,
may
be
done
in
them
;
and
so
come
to
witness
as
Paul
there
in
Rom.
8.2
.
did
,
That
the
Law
of
the
Spirit
of
Life
in
Christ
Jesus
,
hath
made
them
free
from
the
Law
of
Sin
and
Death
.
And
the
Ground
or
Reason
of
the
Lord
's
gracious
Dealing
with
Man
,
in
the
next
Verse
e
sets
down
,
saying
,
For
what
the
Law
could
not
do
,
in
that
it
was
weak
through
the
Flesh
,
God
sending
his
own
Son
in
the
likeness
of
sinful
Flesh
,
and
for
Sin
condemned
Sin
in
the
Flesh
.
And
the
end
of
all
this
he
shews
in
the
next
Verse
,
saying
,
That
the
Righteousness
of
God's
Law
might
be
fulfilled
in
us
,
who
walk
not
after
the
Flesh
,
but
after
the
Spirit
.
And
thus
he
stops
the
Mouths
of
all
the
Enemies
of
Christ
,
who
with
Tho
Hall
would
object
,
That
with
Preaching
of
Christ
,
and
his
Light
,
and
hi
Spirit
in
Man
to
be
all
in
all
,
they
make
void
the
Law
.
Answ.
Nay
,
nay
,
I
say
,
By
Preaching
Christ
we
establish
the
Law
to
the
Glory
of
God
in
Christ
over
all
.
And
so
thou
Tho.
Hall
hast
been
he
which
hath
not
hitherto
either
truly
heard
Moses
,
nor
the
Prophets
,
nor
Christ
,
nor
his
Apostles
,
or
his
Spirit
in
these
days
,
and
so
canst
not
in
that
wretched
Mind
believe
,
though
one
come
from
the
Dead
.
And
so
for
the
Truths
sake
,
and
to
stop
the
Errors
and
Blasphemies
of
this
Thomas
Hall
,
who
ceaseth
not
to
pour
forth
his
Ignorance
against
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
his
blessed
Spirit
of
Light
and
Life
in
Man
,
the
only
Teacher
of
God's
People
in
these
Gospel
days
,
have
I
writ
these
Lines
,
that
the
Truth
of
the
Gospel
,
against
his
,
and
all
such
Unbelieving
,
Jewish
,
Persecuting
Spirits
,
in
these
days
,
may
stand
cear
,
over
all
their
Heads
,
and
triumph
for
ever
in
the
Hearts
and
Consciences
of
all
tender
and
honest-minded
People
,
whose
Desires
〈◊〉
continually
after
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
and
the
Righteousness
thereof
,
whose
Kingdom
is
everlasting
,
and
the
Righteousness
thereof
is
Pure
,
Spotless
and
Undefiled
of
God
,
and
endureth
for
ever
.
And
this
is
our
Righteousness
,
and
the
Righteousness
of
all
Saints
,
Praised
be
God
for
ever
;
and
for
whose
Name
and
Truths
sake
,
and
for
bearing
Testimony
thereof
in
this
World
,
do
we
suffer
Reproach
and
Persecutions
from
the
present
evil
World
,
not
only
of
the
Prophane
,
but
even
of
many
such
unreasonable
professing
vain
Talkers
as
this
T.
Hall
,
who
would
be
Teachers
of
the
Law
,
not
knowing
what
they
say
,
nor
whereof
they
affirm
,
as
Paul
the
Apostle
of
Christ
witnessed
of
such
in
his
days
,
who
would
never
be
quiet
from
opposing
the
Gospel
with
their
False
Interpretations
of
the
Law
,
until
God
cut
them
off
,
and
cast
them
away
for
their
Wickedness
:
But
we
know
,
saith
the
same
Apostle
in
that
place
,
to
wit
,
1
Tim.
1.5
,
6
,
7
,
&c.
that
the
Law
is
good
,
if
a
Man
use
it
lawfully
.
I
nowing
this
,
that
the
Law
is
not
made
for
a
righteous
Man
,
but
for
the
Lawless
and
Disobedient
,
for
the
Vngodly
,
and
for
Sinner
,
&c.
So
say
we
;
and
so
the
Law
of
God
we
love
and
honour
,
●s
God's
Ordinance
,
for
good
,
to
restrain
,
limit
and
condemn
such
ungodly
and
unreasonable
Spirits
,
as
this
T.
Hall
is
;
for
those
that
will
not
believe
nor
obey
the
Gospel
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
must
be
ruled
,
and
bruised
,
and
condemned
,
with
the
Iron
Rod
of
God's
righteous
Law
;
which
whatsoever
it
saith
,
it
saith
to
them
that
are
under
it
;
that
every
sinful
Mouth
may
be
stopped
,
and
all
the
World
of
wicked
unbelieving
Men
,
may
be
found
guilty
before
God
,
Glory
to
his
Name
for
ever
,
who
giveth
us
the
Victory
by
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
who
is
our
Light
,
Life
,
Wisdom
,
Righteousness
and
Salvation
for
ever
,
whose
Grace
alone
is
able
to
keep
us
,
and
preserve
us
,
and
present
us
(
and
all
that
believe
in
his
Light
,
and
know
him
in
them
)
unto
himself
,
without
Spot
and
Wrinkle
,
and
unreprovable
in
everlasting
Peace
,
Rests
a
Lover
of
the
Soul
of
Man
,
which
is
in
great
Captivity
,
until
it
come
to
the
Liberty
of
God's
Sons
;
and
,
who
in
a
patient
quiet
Suffering
way
,
do
wait
to
do
it
good
,
as
a
Servant
of
God
,
wherein
I
may
be
known
amongst
Men
by
the
Name
of
Thomas
Taylor
,
but
in
the
New
Name
,
which
is
of
God
,
and
not
of
this
World
,
which
the
Father
hath
given
me
,
doth
my
Soul
rejoyce
.
And
though
I
be
set
a-part
for
Sufferings
,
amongst
the
reproached
despised
People
of
God
called
Quakers
by
the
World
,
yet
we
are
Happier
than
our
Persecutors
,
in
that
the
Lord
is
on
our
sides
,
and
justifies
us
in
his
way
,
which
is
Christ
,
while
his
Holy
Spirit
testifies
against
our
Adversaries
,
because
they
are
his
Adversaries
.
He
that
hath
an
Ear
to
hear
let
him
hear
,
and
give
Glory
to
God
by
believing
,
for
these
words
are
Faithful
and
True
.
