walks in it 10. Your preaching is contrary to the Apostle and your wisdom is contrary to his who came not with entising words of mans wisdom but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of Power and spake the wisdom of God in a mystery among them that was perfect 1 Cor. 2. 6. but your wisdom and speaking is to make people believe they shall never be perfect and so are as far contrary to his as light is from darkness therefore it is no marvel that people is begotten into a contrary faith and belief and their wisdom so earthly carnal sensual and devilish now if this be not the Doctrine of Devils let all who are of an upright heart judge 11. You are against the end for which the Scripture was given forth which was for the perfecting of the Man of God 2 Tim. 3. 17. And so are the Antichrists the Scripture speaks of 12. You are against the Prayer of the Apostle for the Saints Heb. 13. 20 21. whose Prayer to God was that they might be made perfect in every good work Now your Prayers is that he would give you grace when as his grace hath appeared to you and you have turned it into wantonness and so tempts God to give you that which you would spend upon your lust but your prayers are an abomination to him and he will not hear you because you regard iniquity in your hearts and works it with your hands and cannot believe that ever you shall be brought out of it here your prayers are out of the Faith and so are not accepted but you are those that must depart from the Son though you may prophesie in his name and preach his words in your synagogues and make many long prayers to him as your forefathers did yet your iniquities hath made a separation between him and you and though you make many prayers he will not hear because you have cast his perfect law behinde your backs and hath wrought despite again the Spirit of Grace 13. You are against the prayer of Peter for them he spoke to who prayed that the God of all Grace who had called them unto his eternal Glory by Christ Jesus after they had suffered a while make them perfect 1 Pet. 5. 10. And the Apostle Paul said Let as many as be perfect be thus minded Phil. 3. 15. but you being men of corrupt minds doth withstand this as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses and to this Faith are Reprobates and so hath not victory over the least evil that is in the world and therefore are to be denied by them who are not of the world who keeps people ever learning but are never able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2 Tim. 3. and so are to be turned away from and denied according to the Apostles command 14. You are against the offering of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered himself to God to purge their consciences from dead works to serve the living God Heb. 9. 14. now this you do not believe that ever you shall be brought from dead works and so cannot be servants to God for his servants you are to whom you do obey whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness Rom. 6. 16. 15. Your pleading is against the one offering which hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified and so here you lies in the pollutions of the world children of disobedience in whom the Prince of the air lodgeth the Spirit that now worketh in you whom you believe and obey which opposeth the Spirit of truth which the world cannot receive which who doth receive and obey comes to be sanctified and so by one offering perfected Heb. 10. 14. but this your enmity is against and so your many offerings day by day and year by year doth not make you that are the comers thereto perfect but your consciences are corrupt and your preaching vain and faith vain and are yet in your sins and can never believe any other now here have you made the blood of Christ of none effect which takes away sin and purges the conscience from dead works in all them that know it and this is the cause of your 〈◊〉 envy and rage against them who by the power of God are brought to witnesse the one offering whereby they are perfected from sin and so from condemnation to do the will of God which is their sanctification From him who now suffers in outward bonds at Dorchester in the Country of Dorset for declaring against the Spirit of Antichrist which is now abroad in the world who is called among men AMBROSE RIGGE Now all you aforementioned who saith and believeth no man or woman shall be made free from sin while they be upon earth I ask you one question Where shall people be made clean seeing as death leaves them judgement finds them and no imperfect or unclean thing must enter into Gods Kingdom Now I challenge you all Priests and Professors of what kinde or sort soever who are of this Faith Answer by plain grounds of Scripture without adding or diminishing where or with what must people be made perfect that people may no longer give ear to lying vanities but may strive to make their calling and election sure knowing that no other thing obtains the Crown of Life And send your Answer to any of those people that are in scorn called Quakers or to me in particular whose name after the flesh is A.

into an Angel of Light and here the enemy of God makes many believe they are well enough they are Church-members and they themselves yielding their Members servants to sin whereby they are captivated a● his will And all these agree together and with one mouth saith they shall never be free from sin while they be upon earth and here he deceiveth thousands and devoureth ten thousands and overthrows the true Faith which gives victory over the world and the Prince of it leads into the place of Holiness within the vail And here is his wiles and subtilties seen and known which he deceiveth the Nations with who is and hath been pleading for him and fulfilling his will in which you Priests and Professors of what kinde soever and people are found who hates the Light wherewith you are enlightned now are you found fighting against the Lamb of God that is come to take away sin and destroy the works of the Devil and to present his children perfect to his Father without spot And now doth the Prince of the Air which hath ruled in your hearts all this time break forth and shew himself to the children of Light who follows the Lamb even ready to destroy the man childe which is ready to be brought forth which must rule the Nations with a rod of Iron and leads you to set your selves in battle against him though it be hard for you to believe it and the work of his Servants in all ages and the Life that they lived and the Gospel they preached and the Testimony they gave of the Son 1. You are against Noah with whom Gods Covenant was who was a just man and perfect in his Generation and walked with God Gen. 6. 9. but you are of that generation which walks not with God but in the way that leads to the Chambers of death 2. You are against the command of God to Abraham and so are of your father the Devil whose work ye do and plead for who saith and believeth none can be perfect upon earth for God said to Abraham Walk before me and be thou perfect Gen. 17. 1. 3. You are of another minde then David was of who commanded his son Solomon to serve the Lord with a perfect heart and with a willing minde 1 Chr. 21. 9. 4. You are against Gods Testimony of Job who said He was a perfect and an upright man and one that feared God and eschewed evil Job 1. 18. and contrary to Bildads Testimony of him though he was compassed about with troubles yet he said God would not cast away a perfect man Job 18. 20. Job 33. 9. 5. You are not in the way of God which is perfect but are pleading against it and any that shall be brought into it Psalm 18. 30. And David witnessed that God girded him with strength and made his way perfect Psal 18. 32. now you who are in the crooked ways of darkness knows not the way of God which is perfect but hath chosen your own ways which leads to the Chambers of death 6. You are against the command of Christ unto his children Mat. 5. 48. Who said unto them Be ye perfect as your father which is in heaven is perfect Now they did not Answer and say as you do That they did believe that they should never be so but you are made manifest whom you serve and whose command you obey with that which is perfect which is hid from your eyes 7. Your Faith and Belief is against the coming of Christ whose coming is to do away and destroy that which is imperfect 1 Cor. 13. 10. who was made manifest for the same purpose to destroy the works of the Devil 1 Joh. 3. 8. Now who are the Antichrists but you Priests and Professors and People who are so wholly bent against the Coming Command and Work of Christ that you are so far from witnessing him come in the flesh that you have bent all your strength together to fight against him Now if this be not that Spirit of Antichrist which John warned the little children of who witnessed Christ in them a greater then Antichrist which was gone out in the world let all who are children of the true Light judge John 4. 3. So they that witness Christ come in their flesh now are to be warned of such Spirits not to believe every Spirit but try the Spirits for many false Spirits are gone out into the world and speaketh of the world and the world heareth them and believeth them and fighteth for them whose Kingdom is of the world and persecuteth and imprisoneth them that shall and doth oppose these Spirits of Antichrist which goes under the name of Christ and hath gotten the words of Moses Abraham the Prophets and Apostles yet are found out with the eternal Light of God to be fighting against his Son and are such as he cryed many woes against Mat. 23. 8. You are also opposing the command of the Apostle who said unto his brethren Be perfect be of good comfort 2 Cor. 13. 11. Now if you had been in his days you would have said it was impossible you could never believe it as you do now And so you put more confidence in the Devil that he is able to uphold his work in you as long as you live then you can of God that he will destroy the Devils work in you and so according to your Faith will it be unto you Now this is glad tidings to the Devil that you have made a covenant with Death and an agreement with Hell he will let you profess as much of the Scriptures as you will as long as you are of this belief and yet in the end will turn you into the Lake amongst the unbelievers 9. You are seeking to destroy the gifts that was given to the Apostles which was for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministery which was to that end to bring them to a perfect man to the Measure and Stature of the fulness of Christ and to the unity of the Faith in this that afterwards they might not be tossed to and fro with the windy Doctrine of men which was of a contrary Faith as you are now Eph. 4. 11 12 13 14. Now your gift and work of your Ministery is contrary for the perfecting of the man of sin and your work and ministery is that none can be perfect which is the work Faith and Ministry of Antichrist and brings all the conditions of the Saints which they passed thorow before they grew up to a perfect man in Christ These things you bring to plead for the Devils Kingdom as long as you live which they never did but your cloak is too narrow it will not cover you and here you are found out the Antichrist and your gift and ministery of him to the building up of his Kingdom and the overthrowing of the true Faith in thousands which leads into the Kingdom which stands in righteousness all that
