not run and the Lord never sent them who are so contrary to the Ministers of Righteousness They would have money for Bread and Wine at Easter so called which they call the Sacrament although the People never receive it But whether it be Equal and Just in them to desire Money from People for nought Let they that shall read this consider did not the Apostle and Servant of the Lord say That they did not eat any Mans Bread for nought And they would not make the Gospel chargable c I would know wherein these are followers of those who would have others to follow them as they followed Christ For my part I do not know wherein in one particular But they may be said to be followers of them who were contrary to Christ Jesus in many particulars They take and give that which they call the Lords Supper before and after Dinner and so do contrary to the Institution therein For Christ took the Cup after Supper and Blessed it and gave to his Disciples as you may see Luke 22 20. And though we cannot touch nor taste nor handle with them in those things which are to perish in the using after the Doctrines and Traditions of Men yet the Supper of the Lord we own and do witness the Substance of what was figured forth thereby Glory be given to him who is Holy and lives for evermore These and their followers who are taught by them say 't is true we ought not to Sin but to strive against it But we shall never be delivered from Sin while we are in this Life c. Now what hopes is there for People to overcome the Enemy of their Souls if the case stands thus If They do not follow such Teachers they can be but the Devils Captives and if they do so they must so continue it seems For he that lives in Sin serves the Devil and so is his Captive For so they must continue it seems while they be here and that is so long as they can be followed then sure they cannot be the servants of Righteousness whilst they obey the spirit of Unrighteousness The promise of that life that is Eternal is to him that overcomes and not to him that doth not He that is made a Conqueror and more through Christ he overcomes But how will any prevail while they follow such as say it can never be in this Life Was it not in this Life the Apostles were made more then Conquerours through Christ This I would know see Rom. 8.37 You that follow such Teachers did not your god-fathers and god-mothers so called promise and vow for you in Baptism that when you came to Age you should forsake the Devil and all his Works c And what do your Teachers tell you now the contrary saying It can never be in this Life but you must alwayes live in Sin till you come to your Graves Now Sin is the Work of the Devil and if People must always when they be here live in Sin then How can it be said it being so that they have forsaken the Devil and all his Works Consider what confusion is here and be awakened unto Righteousness that fruit may be brought forth by you unto God who will not be mocked with your Lip-service in calling Christ Lord and yet doing contrary to what he Commands who said to his Disciples Be Perfect as your Father which is in Heaven is Perfect So to draw neer to God with your Lips will not serve your turn or make you acceptable unto him But you must draw neer with your Hearts also and do well and as you ought or else all your good sayings will be in vain and to no purpose The Apostle James said So say and So do see Jam. 2.12 And Christ saith Not every one that saith unto me Lord Lord that shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven But he that doth the will of my Father c. Therefore see to it you that shall come to read these lines I charge you in the presence of the Lord that you be found doing his Holy Will that you may bring forth fruit unto him lest he cut you down as fruitless Trees and cast ye into the fire So these things before mentioned being considered it will appear that it is not erronious to hold that a freedom from Sin is to be attained unto here in this Life but that it is erronious and Devilish to Teach and Hold the contrary And if it be erronious to hold that we should live without Sin then it was erronious in our god-fathers and god-mothers so called to promise and vow on our behalfs that when we came to Age we should forsake the Devil and all his Works c. Which if we do certainly we must cease from Sin and not live any longer therein for while Sin is lived in the Devil and all his Works cannot be said to be forsaken because Sin is the Work of the Devil which Christ came to destroy and so it is those who can truely and properly call Christ their Saviour who witnesseth that he hath saved them from their Sins which is the cause of the wrath and displeasure of the Almighty so the true Followers of Christ the true Disciples of Christ they know and can declare it to the praise and honour of the most high God that it is Jesus who hath saved them from the wrath to come see 1 Thes 1.10 So who would be as they ought to be and do as they ought to do must abstain from every thing which the holy Light of Christ in them makes appear in them to be evil and follow this good and holy Light only that by it they may be led into all truth by which the God of truth is known and come to which who comes to must believe that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him and they who do refuse to be guided by the Light of Jesus Christ in them which is that which God hath appointed all People to be guided by it is them that do otherwise then they ought to do and be not what God requires them to be such were those the Apostle James spake of forgetful hearers of the Word who neglected to do it Jam. 1.23 24. whom he compared to a natural man who beholds his face in a Glass and straitway forgets what manner of man he is so what is the difference between such as refuse to hear the voice of truth that they may do it and those who are forgetful hearers who are negligent in doing according to the Word that they have heard this I shall leave to such as shall read these lines to give righteous judgment therein Now it is to be considered what it is to be a True Jew ABraham was a true Jew and all his Posterity they were and are called Jewes but all were not true Jewes nor are so who came of the Loyns of Abraham but those who were
