of the life of Jesus your life is death and death is your end and that end leadeth to self to be selfly minded it is death for self is carnall and devillish did ever you read in the Scriptures your practise which you have amongst you did ever Apostles and Prophets do the same which you do did they ever seek themselves or self advantage for the glory of the world which lyes in death let the righteous in you judge your conscience I mean where Christ hath placed his witness Christ Jesus hath a witness in you all and that shall be your Judge at the latter day where God is known to be that is perfect and that delayeth not time he calleth for repentance by it which discovers sin and lets you know when you have done amiss it is Gods witness in every one which shews them their evill deeds and when they commit sin this judges now turn to this that it may lead you to life and peace but no peace to the wicked they shal dye without mercy now consider whether your deeds are done in the Spirit or in the flesh If by the Spirit of God you are guided then would you not appear in these practises you sit like Kings and Princes Lording over the just by your own invention and not by Gods direction or by any example of those that fear the Lord those that fear the Lord are innocent and harmless like God there are but two Spirits of God and of the devill now mind by which you are guided and by which Spirit you receive this authoritie which you practice doth the Spirit of God lead to murder let the light judge or did ever Christ Jesus shevv any such example or did he give you any authoritie to murther men that be not of your minds the Inquisition you call your selves enquiring of that vvhich you need not busying your selves and Lording it over other mens consciences your own practice you never consider from whence it came nor whether it shall go for to the pit must all that is exalted be turned your Idols cannot save you the day of your visitation is come turn unto the Lord all you exalted bubbles and let the light judge your wayes vvhether they be vvrought in God yea or nay did ever Christ Jesus the son of the living God command these things vvhich you do did ever the Lord of life shevv an example to murder his Spirit leads to suffering through him that maketh vvilling and not to persecution that is your seat to destroy the innocent the Lord is prest under your abhominations you trample up on the just one that discovers sin sin is the enemie of your souls and the Lord is a friend to all that fear and keep his commandements this commandement do I leave among you saith Christ Jesus that ye love one another and love is the fulfilling of the Law of God but where is your love to kill your Brother Cains nature dvvells in you and you are by that Spirit guided vvhich slaies the Just you offer up sacrifice to the Devill your sacrifice and you are one and he is one with you that leads you to it vvhat think you that a dead bable can save your souls it you call your Saviour that you make vvith your hands you make you a God and vvhen you have made it you eat it this corrupts with you corruptible things are not known to those that live in the Spirit but in the place vvhere they are to be used and vvhen and how by the wisdome of God as food for the body as God in his wisdome hath ordered them to be used as wine and strong drink as Paul writ to Timothie as usefull for the body and not for the soul The Spirit feedeth on things not seen with a Carnal eye by the Spirit were they guided to use every thing in its place by this Spirit is Nations redeemed and Kingdomes brought to nought Hell is their Portion that knows not that which redeemeth God redeemeth from sin but you dwell in sin and are dead And yet you say you eat God He that feedeth on me saith Christ Jesus shall live for ever My flesh is meat indeed and my Blood is drink indeed but not Carnal as you ●ay for God is a Spirit and no flesh enters that Kingdome neither can Man by his Spirit know what it is Man by his wisdome knows not God neither can they comprehend his being for his being is not Carnal but you are Carnal Sensuail and Devillish and the Diveil hath beguiled you for the destruction of your souls to enlarge his Kingdome his Kingdome is enlarged by the children of disobedience disobedience entred by Adams fall when he eat the forbidden fruit contrary to the mind of God God is righteous and he leads to righteousness peace and pure holyness and holyness becomes his House for ever Now where is this House can ye tell when you make your Idoll Temples a shelter for murderers and thieves Thieves you are to deceive the people and lead the blind to their destruction Destitute you are of God when you say you will sacrifice for sin and your hands are full of blood it is not your washing with water can save you from sin it is the blood of Jesus that cleanseth this blood is not Wine to drink in Bouls as do the Drunkards so do you You cannot worship him whom you know not in all your outward imitation And all your Ceremonies your Copes and Surpl●sses and Miters and Crowns and Crosses that are made of wood and your painted flaggs deceiving the people and making them follow you up and down Towns and Cities and call this a procession it is a procession indeed for the Devill hath possessed you to make Images like unto himself Images and Likenesses is your Religion as you call it but he that seems to be Religious let him bridle his tongue but your tongues are at liberty to sing and pray and imitate how can he pray or preach that is not sent he that is sent is born of God can this birth you witness Christ came into the World by the will of his Father and whatsoever he see the Father do that did he also When did you see God to receive this authority your authority is from your Father the Devill and his Servants ye are whom ye do obey Obey the Lord turn to the Light of Jesus that leads to a holy Life and an innocent habitation out of all subtlety You

who seek the fleece and starve the flock and call your serves sheapheards Christ Jesu● is the true Shepheard he giveth his life for his sheep he is a redeemer and saveth his people from their sin How do you think to be saved By a carnall bit of Bread that you call the Bodie of Christ Impudent blasphemers who make an Idoll to your selves and eat it and say that it is Christs flesh and the wine that you drink in Bowls is his Bloud he that eateth my flesh saith Christ shall live for ever and you dye and your God with you and this is an end of your dumb Idoll vvhich cannot save you God is a Saviour of his people from sin they that feed on that Spirit which leadeth out of carnall things to be carnall minded is death to be spirituall minded is life and peace no peace to the wicked they shall dye vvithout mercy and judgement shall fall upon them that forget God God is judge of all he is judged of none nor none can know his judgements but by that Spirit which is pure you make your selves Judges
