ALL People everywhere who profess that you love God and have a desire to walk in his Rev. 11. 8. ways and are in this dark world wandering too and fro enquiring the way how you may come out of this great City which is Sodom and Egypt where fil●hiness and darkness rules and is heard wherein the Lord is crucified and all the righteous blood hath been shed and your selves are kept in bondage to sin and unrighteousness blindness and thick darkness and know not where you are nor the way out of this condition though many of you have been inquiring after the way so many years seeking after your blinde guides who are not the way neither in the way themselves and so have forsaken the fountain of light and have run after and have been led by them who are in the same darkness with you now stand still a while and see where you are and what you have been doing you pretend as to the Kingdom of God but you are not seeking where it is you have been seeking without but it is within you and there you must find it if ever you finde it it is not to be found in Forms and Customs and outside Observations Luk. 17. 21. but the Kingdom of God is within you and the way to the Kingdom is within you and the light that guides into the way and keeps in the way is within Christ is the way and know ye not that Christ is in you except ye be reprobates Joh 14. 6. and as he is the Way so he is the Light I am the light of the 2 Cor. 13. 5. world and lighten every one that cometh into the world Joh. 1. 9. and 8. 12. he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life I am the true shepherd of the sheep and my sheep know my voice but the voice of a stranger they 1 Pet. 3. 19. will not hear and the voice of Christ is spiritual not carnal Rev. 2. 7 17. and he speaks to the Spirits in prison and he that hath an ear Joh. 10. 11 12. hears what 's the Spirit saith and he who comes once to hear the voice of Christ in Spirit will no more desire to hear the voice of strangers All your hirelings are strangers to Christ and he knows them not for though they may prophesie in his name and in his name cast out devils yet if they be workers Mat. 7. 22 23. of iniquitie Christ knows them not and such know not Christ For he that saith I know him and keeps not his Commandment 1 Ioh. 2. 4. is a lyer Now all people cease from your strange guides and outside-lights and return to the light of Christ in you that which shews you sin and evil and the deeds of darkness for what ever makes manifest is light and this is that light which shines into the conscience which tells you that lying Eph. 5. 13. swearing pride envy coveteousness backbiting and dissembling leads to condemnation and this light checks you for sin and would have you to do to all men as you would be done to And this light is not a Chapter without you in a Book but it is that light that revealed that to the Saints in their several measures which they spoke forth and which thou readest in the Chapter and this light being minded will lead to the perfect day which declares all things as they are And this did the Apostles exhort the Saints everywhere to take heed unto till the day dawned and the day-star did arise 1 Pet. 1. 19. in their hearts and this is a more sure word of prophesie then that the Apostle did see in the mount as he declared unto them and if you take heed to this light to obey and love it then it will shew that to you which no outward declaration of man can shew you it will let you see all your sins done in secret and whom you have wronged and how you have spent your time and will bring you to repentance and to tenderness of heart towards all people and will bring you to exercise a pure conscience in the fear of God towards God Act. 24. 16. and man in uprightness and so will lead up to Justification and Peace and if you disobey it it will condemn you in your own hearts and will shew you that God is greater then your hearts who will render to every one according to their works and here you are left without excuse before God Men and Angels and in this that you know sin and live in it here you have learned your codemnation and your deceit is discovered whereby with a pretence you make prayers and say Lord shew us a sight of our sins when as God hath given you a light within you which being minded and obeyed will shew you all your sins and wickednesses and lead you out of them Joh. 3. 20. but this light you hate because you love your evil deeds and you perish not for want of light tendred but because you turn

talk on And they having outwardly declared their inward worship and fellowship they had with God in Spirit and 1 Ioh 1. 3. this you find in the Letter and every one according to your several conceivings thereof sets up an outward form image or likeness of the Saints worship and here you worship and for this you contend by reasons and arguments and wrest the 2. Pet. 3. 16. Scriprures to uphold your form and if any will not worship this your Image you are greatly offended and here is all the contention in the world about things without as forms customs and traditions and here carnal minds contend with Rom. 6. 6 7. carnal words and weapons about carnal things and you who are here cannot own the Saints conditions in your selves as to witness the infallible teachings of the Spirit and the body of sin put off and to be sanctified throughout in soul and body but you will own the Scriptures as they are as far as they will make with your Form and that you may live in the delights of the world And for those which crosse your ways and wills you will alter them by meanings and expositions and thus the Scripture must bend to you and submit to your wills that the will may raign and you live in your lusts but to believe that ever they shal be fulfilled in you by Christ as Rom. 8. 3 4. they are and were in the Saints to this your Faith is reprobate And yet you are not ashamed to profess Christ your King and the Scripture your Rule and you make a great sound in words the Kingdom of Christ and the Ordinances of Christ and the Church of Christ and the Saints practise and the Scripture Rule but is it so upon tryal or but a thing like these you speak on and where you appear to be wanting there you have covered with words meanings and expositions but the Saints whose conditions you talk on was what they spoke without meanings or deceit they were subjects in the Kingdom of Christ and he did rule in them and they followed Rev 7 14. him through persecution mockings and death but is it so with you who are Lords over your brethren beating mocking imprisoning and killing them because they will not forsake the commands of Christ to be subject to your wills and heathenish customs as to bow down to you and worship you and to be silent at your will and to speak at your wills though Christ command the contrary Is this to own Christ for your King And as for your Ordinances you cry up so much are these they to set up a proud man called by you Mat. 23. 6. 10. master having the highest place in the Idols Temple preaching always from a verse of another mans condition but not fulfilled in himself raising points reasons objections and uses a divination of his own brain but not from the mouth of the Lord adding and diminishing to the Scripture sprinkling of infants and calling it baptizing into Christ singing Davids conditions in Rimes telling People of a Sacrament and Gal. 4. 10 11. observing of times doing all for Tythes or money living in pride fulness and coveteousness and many more like things never used by any that ever Christ sent And is this your Church all within such a place or Parish sprinkled when they were infants but not yet washed from sin but are still lyars swearers drunkards whoremongers covetous scorners proud wanton oppressors and such like but not one that can witness that faith which hath overcome the world sin and the devil or believes that ever they shall overcome 1 Iohn 5. 4. while they are here and is this the Church of Christ which is his body which are limbs of the devil and serve him at his will And is this the Saints practise you speak of to exalt your selves one above another to sue one another to accuse falsly to be proud and covetous to live in the lusts Mat. 20. 26 27. of the flesh sporting and gaming and calling it recreation living in excess of apparel and diet spending the creatures on Gal. 5. 24. your lusts when your brethren want food and raiment causing others to labour in wants that they may bring it to you to spend on your lusts and vanity And when you should hearken to the light of Christ in your conscience then you joyn with the deceit to make covers for your iniquities and say it is but as your place and estate requires as though God had given out his Law with respect of persons and had given you Jam. 5. 1 2 3 4 5 6. a toleration to abuse the creature and live in your lusts more then others because you have more of the earth or a greater power committed to your charge amongst men then others Mat. 20. 25 26 27. not considering that the Heathen exercise these things but the Saints the greater power the more humble and the more Luk. 22. 26. carefull to walk as examples to others that so they may exalt him alone whose Ministers they are and not themselves in pride and this is to be truly honorable and herein have all the faithfull been honoured but you who seek for the worlds honour are not of the faithfull for saith Christ how can you believe that seek for honour one of another now you Joh. 5. 41. 44. that talk of the Saints practise own it in your selves and it will take you off from these and many more vanities you live in God will not be mocked you hypocrites be not sayers but doers And you talk of the Scripture being a golden Rule but your ways prove how little you are ruled by it Do ye seek to be perfect for God is perfect holy as he is holy do ye love God above all and your neighbours as your self when you make them your footstool do you to all as you would be done by have you forsaken the world and the love of it Is the lusts and affections of your flesh crucified having Heb. 13. 5. food and rayment are ye therewith content Do you live 1 Tim. 6. 8 9. by faith not taking thought for tomorrow not what to eat Mat. 6. 25. to the end and what to put on Do you live as the Lords Lilies Do you feed the hungry and cloath the naked and let the oppressed Iam. 2. 1 9. go free Are ye no respecters of persons in all your dealings Are you brought to yea and nay in all your communication Mat. 5. 37. without any more which comes of evil Do you suffer Mat. 5. 11. and are hated and have all manner of evil spoken on you falsly for the name of Christ Are you brought out of all the Luk. 6. 22. customs of the heathen and are conformable to Christ in his life and sufferings prove your selves if you be what you profess in truth that you be Saints sanctified and

redeemed out of all worldly and earthly things to live to God in all things in righteousness and holiness Oh you take but their conditions to talk on which was so and so you boast in another mans line on things that are not your own See if you be made the righteousness of God in Christ as they were and 2 Cor. 5. 12. if you know him whom you say you worship to dwell in your 2 Cor. 6. 16. bodies as they did and that you are taught of him in Spirit how he will be worshipped as they were whom you talk on See whether these things be so in substance or you have but a form of their worship gathered out of the letter and so you worship a likeness or image of that whereof they had the substance now if you have but the outside take heed for now is the hand of the Lord upon all the Idols of the world Zach. 13. 2. and that which is not the substance is but an image and now shall the stone cut out of the mountain without hands break Dan. 2. 34. thee and thy image in pieces and he that is without form shall by his power break all your Forms and formal Worships Rev. 14. 9. in pieces and that worship alone shall be set up which is in spirit and not in form and is accepted by that God who never was known in form but in spirit blessed for ever And you Rulers of the Nation take heed how you step into the throne of Christ or exalt your selves in his Kingdom and mind what power you are betrusted with by the Lord and be faithfull in that as the Ministers of God to whom you are 2 Sam. 23. 3. Isa 56. 1. to accompt you are to punish sin in whom it is without respect 1 Pet. 2. 14. of persons And if you be faithfull herein you will find Psal 82. 3 3 4. work enough in the Nation And you are to encourage them that do well and deliver them from the power of cruel and Prov. 29. 2. blood-thirsty men that oppress them for he that departs from iniquity is made a prey to this generation and you are Isa 59. 15. to walk as examples to the people in all holiness and righteousness that God may bless you and honour you in the doing of his commands but as for sending out Labourers into his Vineyard where hath he commanded this at your hands or when did he in any Age reprove any for not doing it He hath overthrown Kingdoms and Nations for abusing and going 2 Chron 36. 15 16. about to stop the mouths of those that he sent and hath reproved Kings for their sakes saying Touch them not but these were such as he sent for he never betrusted the powers of the earth to choose him messengers to go on his message Luk. 10. 2. And hath he now put power into your hand that you should not suffer him to choose his own messengers by whom he will send to his own people And have you the message to put into their mouths and must they go on your errand or his and will not you give Him leave to choose his own servants and what he will imploy them about will you deal so with him as you would not have any to deal with you And for your Tythes Augmentations and set benefits when did ever God require any such thing from any Magistrates under the Gospel and doth it serve for any other end but to hold up an idle loytering Ministry one pulling another out of places and setting themselves in their stead that they may heap up riches and live in their lusts all running greedily after the wages of Zach. 11. 4 5. Balaam for gifts and rewards And do you fear that the hand of God is shortened that he will not raise up such as will go Ezek. 22 25. on his message unless you provide them wages Did ever Isa 50. 2 4. any that he sent complain to the world for want nay all my Fathers servants have bread enough without being cared for by the world for those who are sent by Christ take little care for such earthly things having a better reward indurable riches And can you ever keep the Ministers of Antichrist out of places who will conform to any thing for gain so long as they can have you to feed them with money And will not you be found guilty of keeping up the hirelings that the wo is to and them that hold them up and whom Christ is come to discover and cast out and so you be found fighters against him And when you leave all that say they are Christs Ministers to Christs maintenance set down in the Gospel then it will appear who have run unsent and have not profited the people And is it not the love of God to cast out such as have called themselves Teachers and have been thus long in places and have their people yet lyars swearers Rom. 6. 7. 18. drunkards proud and covetous and in all filthiness but not one that is set free from sin and brought out of the world and they who have taught them dare not trust them for maintenance without a Law to compel them And are you doing any acceptable service to God in maintaining such as these as they live And will it not be said to you one day who required these things at your hands to oppress the poor who labour Prov. 22. 16. hard to give their labours to maintain these belly-gods contrary to their conscience in their fulness pride and lust and their wives and families in idleness and they that labour for it are many times in great want Oh be wise and take heed what you do and as you profess your selves to be a Christian Magistracy so minde the commands of Christ and not your own wills it is not saying you are Christians but walking after Christ and his commands that differs you from heathen And do not profess the Scripture in words but own their practise that gave them forth and let them who say they are Ministers make proof of their Ministry in power and not in getting a few words whereby to deceive you and the people but let them first sow spiritual things before they reap carnal first beget a people out of the world into the Spirit and then they shall not need to contend 1 Cor. 9. 11. with them about food and rayment nor sue them at the Law first plant then eat And this was the practise of such as Christ sent and he always provided them a house to go to Acts 4. 34. who were worthy and meat to eat and they never wanted what was good for them and I witness that he is the same now and hath the same care over those that he sends into the world with divers others whom he hath sent out without bag or scrip yea into the most brutish parts in
