well as the Tenths and so man comes to be Redeemed from the earth up to God from whence he was driven and to reign upon the earth and made Kings and Priests and the War comes to be ended and figures and the Law comes to be ended Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness sake to every one that believes For Ninths and Tenths in the time of the War and in the time of the Law was in the times of the figures and since man hath been drove into the earth from God that God by his Law Commanded they should offer up the Tenths but who are Redeemed again out of the earth and come to Christ the Substance and is come up into the Image of God and is come into the Gospel which is the power of God comes out of the Ninths of the earth and offers up all and so comes up into Christ the Image of God the end of the Law the Heir of all things And so while the Priesthood was standing Levi who wâ—â— to receive Tythes before he was offered up and so they ought to pay him but when he was offered up it was finished so when he was offered up people were to come to the substance and to seek those things that are above and not the tenths in the war which Melchisedeck the figure received nor the tenths in the Law which the first priesthood received but must offer up the ninths and all to Christ who is the heir of all things him by whom the World was made glorified with the Father before the World began who redeems man out of the earth and so man comes to preach the Gospel the Word which was in the beginning and so comes into that which ends all things that is Christ who is the Heir of all things who redeems his Church and who are of his Church are of the Election which was before the World began And such as preacheth the Gospel the Kingdom of God was to go without bag that Christ sends forth and he never set up a law that they should take the Tenths for it was the Priesthood that was before Christ that took the tenths therefore read this what it signified that Christ sent forth his freely without bag his Ministers and the other Priests must have the Tenths made by the Law of God and had a commandment to take them and he sent out his freely and Melchisadeck had tenths in the time of the war but Christ who ends the Law ends the war and destroyes the Devil and his works which is the cause of all war and strife sends forth his Ministers freely reely you have received freely give again Now the Jews Law was standing when Christ sent forth his Ministers by which the Priesthood was made and the commandement was not dissanulled till Christ was offered up so Christ did never claim to the Jewes that Tythes was his inheritance for he who redeems man out of the earth is the heir of all things for Tythes was offered up in the time of the law war Melchizedeck and the law brings people to offer up the tenths and that was according to the principle of God in them But Christ brings them to offer up the ninths as wel as the tenths the ninths of the earth and so comes out of the earth quite to the substance Christ Jesus and such knowes the election before the world began Christ the heir of all things So he is not called the heir of tenths he is not called Melchizedeck neither is he called the first Priest-hood that took the Tythes but is called the substance of all Types figures shadowes and similitudes and is the heir of all things and ends the Priest-hood that had the tenths and is an everlasting Priest after the order of Melchizedeck who was glorified with the Father before the World began before the tenths was So he ends the figures and all figures and tenths and Tythes that redeemes people out of the ninths and so the Church of Christ which is his body of whom he is the head in whom he is in the midest who was in the beginning with the Father before the world began seeks not after the tenths who redeems out of the ninths who brings to the end of the law and end of the war and all types and figures and shadowes and similitudes to Christ the substance and such witnesse peace on earth and good will towards men and the Kingdom come which stands in joy and righteousnesse and peace in the Holy Ghost and his will is done in earth as it is in Heaven So till Christ was offered up Tythes was to be paid and they robbed God that did not pay Tythes while Tythes was kept back there was not meat in their house and so God kept back from them you keep back the tenths cannot I keep back the ninths and cause the earth not to give her increase so bring in your Tythes and see if I will not cause the windowes of Heaven to be opened and pour you forth a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it And the Tythes of the land was the Lords it was not to be given to Caesar it was not called Caesars the tenths was the Lords and he gave them back to the services for which he appointed them and this was the State when man was drove into the earth in the time of the law Now the ninths is the Lords as well as the tenths and all the spoil in the war is the Lords as well as the tenths to Melchideck the figure so in the time of Christ who ends the war all is offered up unto the Lord all the spoil the ninths the time of Christ the end of the law and Priest-hood that took the tenths the ninths is offered up and they come out of the ninths of the earth so to Christ the substance who redeems out of the ninths and such comes to reign upon the earth as I said before and be made kings and Priests And there is more to be spoken of these words hard to be uttered And Christ never told people they robbed him that did not bring him the tenths who was the everlasting Priest though the Jewes law was yet standing before he was offered up he spoiled principalities and powers and triumphed over them openly and put down Priest and its authority and tenths and its authority and brought people to the beginning out of the ninths to the Father and to fit with him in Heavenly places And the Church never told people that it was robbery if they did not give them tenths and Christs Ministers never said it was robbery though the Jewes law was standing when they went to preach freely without a bag when Christ the power of God sent them forth which power opened the hearts of people to give them that they should not want and they trod out the corn And the Jews law was standing and the Priests and tenths before Christ was offered
the express Image of his Substance Christ Jesus who was with him before the World began as I said before Well seeing that Christ ended them that had Tenths in the time of the Law and War and ended the War and Law by which they were made that took them and the Commandment that gave them to them and ends the War before the Law and is the end of all Wars who puts the fire and the sword in the earth and destroyes the destroyer that causeth Wars and brings peace on the earth and good Will towards men and his Ministers preacht the Gospel and the Kingdom of God which hath no end Mark the Kingodm of God there is more in that that followed Christ that they preacht and asked not for Tithes for Tenths of the earth that was Elected before the World began that was Redeemed out of the Ninths that witnessed the Kingdom of God that stands in Righteousness Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost and that sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus And you may read what they witnessed in the Hebrews among them that stuck in the Figures Priests Tithes and Offerings which told them that the one offering was offered up the end of their offerings and Priesthood both that could not continue because of death and Christ was come the end of all similitudes he remains a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedeck and the Priesthood was changed that took the Tithes and the Law was changed and the Commandment disannulled so when the Priesthood was changed and the Law changed that gave them and the Commandment disannulled and men come up out of the Ninths to the heavenly gift and did partake of the power of the World to come and yet these things was but as milk among Babes Before Christ was offered up they ought to pay Tithes but when he was offered up then they ought not the Commandment disannulled the Priesthood changed the Law changed also Was ended peace on earth and good will towards men Election known before the World began and men Redeemed to God from the earth who had been drove from God into the earth who had lost his Image by transgression and disobedience who is brought into the Image by the obedience of Christ who blots out the transgression and finisheth sin and reconciles for iniquity and brings in Everlasting Righteousness Mark Righteousness lasteth for ever that Redeems men out of the Ninths and ends the War in whom Melchizedeck the figure ends and liveth not in the Righteousness of the Law of works of the Priests that had the Tenths and Command that Commands the Tenths but lives in Christ and by him and under him who is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge that ends the Command and Law and Priesthood and War and Figures and in him doth Melchizedeck end Christ who is the end of all things and here is the Saints life and the Churches head that the gates of Hell cannot prevail against who is the sum of all things that ends Ninths and Tenths And his Church is Redeemed out of the Ninths and reigns upon the earth and preaches the Gospel the Kingdome of God Mark Kingdom and preaches the Substance the end of the similitudes the end of the first Priesthood the Law is changed that he was made by and he also and the Command disannulled that gave him Tithes and here the peace on earth and the good will towards men is known for Christ is the Peace and Redeemer and now he is come to reign and doth reign among his Saints who ends all similitudes and likenesses and in him is no shadow nor turning nor winding nor variableness who is the Image of God glorified with the Father before the World began For since man went out of the Image of God and his Righteousness has been the Wars the first Priesthood and the Tenths in the War and the Tenths in the first Priesthood and Figures which Christ the Image of God ends the War and Priesthood and figures and similitudes and Tenths and brings men up into the Image of God and his Righteousness and Redeems people out of the Ninths and so to the end of the Tenths and Warre being come out of the fall up to God again where peace is redeemed out of the earth and reigns upon it and there is the end of that at present and so much for that at the present And Tenths was paid from the Principle of God within them for man transgressing the Principle of God within him was drove from God but when the Law came which went over all transgressors and transgressions answered the just Principle of God in every man the Tenths was offered up in the time of the War and Law from the Principle of God within and so is the Ninths from the Spirit of God within the power of God the Gospel and where life and immortality is come to light all is offered up to God And man come up out of the earth unto God from whom he has been drove And from the Principle of God within he did offer up the Tenths according to Law for death reigned man transgressing the Law of God within him when he fell went from the power The Devil went out of truth tempted man out of truth to sin and so to death and death reigned from Adam till Moses and so the Law came by Moses who saw the first transgression upon the earth and so the law was added because of transgression which is called the higher power higher then all evil doers to which power every soul must be subject And Moses saw the blessed state of the creatures before transgression before the Divel and man went out of truth and so man had the power within him before the transgression the power within him the law within him and so the law was added upon him called the law of works because of transgression and that served tell the seed came and Moses saw the Prophet of God he knew that the seed of the Woman should bruise the head of the Serpent Christ Jesus should destroy the Devil and his works the salvation of mankind And Moses the Prophet God gave him that wisdom to make the pattern the figure and Moses saw the time it should stand and before it was and the Prophet God should raise up like unto him whom the people should hear who should come to end it Now he that can read this and see this and hear this prophet which should end the pattern types figures and shadowes may read something and he that hath offered up the ninths of the earth and is come out of the ninths by Christ the substance redeemed out of the earth and witnesseth sin and transgression finished and the bond of iniquity broken and Christ reconciled to him and everlasting righteousnesse brought in he witnesseth the end of tenths and may speak something of what the tenths figured forth and offerings and Priests that witness the seed and is in the
seed Christ that hath bruised the head of the Serpent the Divel that causeth war he may say a stronger then he is come that keeps the house and that the strong man has bowed himself and that the keepers of the house has trembled and the earth shaken also and that which is to be shaken shaken and that which cannot be shaken is appeared and Christ is in him and his body is dead because of sin and he is the Temple of God and Christ is in him the everlasting Priest and Christ reigns and the first covenant is ended and the law of works which went upon the man which was under types figures and shadowes to which his soul must be subject but Christ is come the end of the Law to every one that believes the Bishop of the soul Christ the power of God and the everlasting covenant is within again and he is come into a greater state then Adam was in the beginning he is come into the second Adam into that which cannot depart from God and all that be here need not say know the Lord from the greatest to the least but are calling every one his neighbour under the vine and fig-tree according to Zacharias prophesie and the branch is brought forth and stone upon stone and ingravening is taken away Concerning Tythes since the dayes of the Apostles And as for Tythes since the dayes of the Apostles the Pope was the first Author of them for as Christ said false Prophets should come inwardly ravening Wolves having the Sheeps cloathing that is the outside in Mat. 7.24 chapter which John saw was come in his first Epistle in chapter the 2. and fourth which went forth from them into the World and in the revelations all that dwelt upon the earth went after them and Christ who said they should come bid they should not go after them and John who said they were come told the Saints that they needed no man to teach them but as the same anointing did teach them which was in them and as that did teach them they should continue in the Son of God and in the Father So those that Christ said should come to his Disciples the false Prophets and Antichrists John saw was come one of his disciples which went forth from them into the World and in the Revelations all that dwelt upon the earth went after them and when they had got a head in the World they turned against the Saints and killed the Saints that kept the Testimony of Jesus Mat. 7.24 1 Joh. 2.4 Rev. 13. And so in the eleventh of the Revelations the witnesses were killed and in the twelfth the dragon was wrath with the woman and she fled into the Wildernesse to be kept a time and times and half a time to be fed and the man-child was caught up to God and the dragon made war with the remnant of her seed so here is the true woman the true Church fled into the Wildernesse and the Dragon gave his power to the Beast in the thirteenth of the Revelations the Least made war with the Saints that kept the Testimony of Jesus the spirit of Prophecy the true Ministers and killed them and overcame them and when he had overcome the Saints power was given to the Beast over all kindreds tongues and peoples and nations So he had power over the naturals Hebrew Greek and Latin called the Original Orthodox men and killed the true Ministers which kept the testimony of Jesus the spirit of prophecy then he having power over all kindreds tongues and Nations then deceit spread it self over all nations the true Church being in the Wildernesse and the man-child caught up to God and then came up the Beast and his names markes and hornes and images who was in the Dragons the Devils power and compelling to worship and set up his lying signes and wonders and has power over the tongues to order them here he has his Schooles and colledges to order them as he will the naturals that killed them that was in the spirit And then the Whore got upon the beast the false Church the false woman the Whore in the Dragons power after the True Church was in the Wilderness and all Nations drunk her cup of Fornication before they could be married and the Kings of the earth drunk her cup of Fornication Then did the Kings of the earth make Nations to bend and the sheeps cloathing to be put upon them for she hath reigned over the earth This fenced city this false Church this Whore where all the blood hath been shed about Religion Church Ministry and Scriptures in the whole Christendom among them called Christians since the dayes of the Apostles and Christ who wrestled not with flesh and blood struck not at creatures did not come to destroy mens lives but to save them and the Apostles that followed him wrestled with Principalities and powers and spiritual wickednesses and brought the creature into the liberty of the sons of God And Christ destroyed the Devil and his works and death which had its authority in men and yet saved mens lives he did not cause any to be put in Prison neither did he put any in Prison though they Blasphemed against him nor the Apostles neither but destroyed the Devil and his works and death where he had his Authority which caused men to Blaspheme and saved the man and the Apostles wrestled with spiritual wickednesses and rulers of darkness which caused men to Blaspheme and brought the creatures into the liberty of the sons of God and such came to know the Redemption of the body But this false church this great city this woman this whore which hath made all Nations drunk with her Fornication the Kings of the earth wrestleth with flesh and blood destroyes mens lives if any one come within her city which is fenced though they have the sheeps cloathings yet destroying mens lives stocking whipping and imprisoning killing racking cutting off ears wrestling with flesh and blood dâ—â—â—â—ing the blood of the Saints killing the creatures inâ—â—â—â—◠〈◊〉 wrestling with principalities and powers and spiâ—â—◠〈◊〉 wickednesses and rulers of darkness in high places and so followeth not Christ and the Apostles who are the inwardly raveners that went out from them which is the Whore for a whore goes from something the children of Israel when they went from their God they whored so when these went from the Apostles they whored and all Nations hath drunk the Whores cup. And so the Inhabitants of the earth which hath drunk the Whores cup have the sheep cloathing but not the sheeps Nature which never worried swine nor dogs nor goats nor lyons nor bears so instead of saving mens lives destroyed them and instead of bringing creatures into the liberty of the sons of God hath killed the creatures and this is like neither Christ nor the Apostles but quite contrary out of their power in the Dragons power devourers murtherers And so this Whore sits upon the
