martyrs Come may the Church say Let us eat her up for God hath given her into our hands and Christ shall raign and shall put all authority under his feet IT shall be a peaceable Dominion when Christ shall raign over the Earth by a personal power of Saints that shall fully hold forth the Scepter He shall come to raign in power over the earth till all rule and authority is put under his feet Kings must throw down and stoop to his peaceable Dominion he shall make straight every crooked way his endless Priesthood shall teach when every mouth shall be stopped he giveth peace which the world cannot give he saith Walk in my way I will be your Sun and your light when every form and written declaration shall cease and be no more I would have all men live above the flesh by a heavenly procreation or inclination of doing good and that is perfection indeed for by doing well thou shalt have joy unspeakable which will be as a whole kingdom in thy soul I would have Gods people preach forth restoration and desire to see a full manifestation of things made out as the Lord alone to be all our teacher he is our Protector and not man his Priestly power shall be a peaceable Dominion when Monarchy is put down though Kings and Lord stands in his place and Protectors stand in his place yet who shall stand when he appeareth by a more brighter shining light when all shall be forced to give up their dignities stoop to his peaceable Dominion Isa 66. I will send them to declare my glory among the Gentiles shewing the great day of Jehovah when men shall finally throw down their high titles and then peaceable Dominions shall raign What Priest will plead for my name saith the Lord against them that set themselves so high as Lord and King and set themselves up by earthly enjoyments Therefore God hath raised my Spirit to plead against all the Priests and to lay open their folly that call themselves Seers in Israel and yet keep all things as they were ye have not yet preached the Gospel but denied the Son of God and the power of his resurrection for ye have given his glory to men Therefore as yet ye have not preached the Gospel nor laid your life down as yet for the truth You have declared the History of the Prophets and of Peter and Paul but we have had enough of it without you would preach them out of their Graves But which of you Priests will vindicate life for the eternal Gospel to set Christ upon his throne to say he is King alone and Lord alone and so deny outward honour and acknowledge nothing honourable but the Lord and that is true Gospel thou must tread down all for Christ thou shalt tread upon Scorpions and Serpents and they shall not hurt thee it is the words of our Saviour thou must tread upon Kings Lords and Princes and Nobles and Rulers if thou beest true for Christ he is the everlasting Gospel thou shalt cease from man whose breath is in his nostrils it is the Lord that preacheth peace keepeth all alive fear not man or any power of men formed against the Gospel it shall not prosper when he appeareth Kings must lay down Princes must lay down Protectors must lay down Lords must lay down Magistrates must lay down Priests must lay down thou must lay down and I must lay down the Stars and Constellations shall fail at his appearing the negative voice shall not stand for he will give power to his two witnesses to plead for all truth before a Judgement-seat of the Saints when this Government shall be taken away and changed at his bright appearing when all formed Gospels of men shall be changed to a new Sabbath when men shall be forced to lay down for the Gospel when they shall ascribe to him kingdom power and glory and that is the full end of preaching to set God upon his throne he is the everlasting Gospel of peace and I know no other Gospel but that he should rule above every man in dignity and honor And that Lord man should not pollute his holy name Ye high Doctors may Object saying What is the power of Christ you speak so much of I answer It is the power of God that shall silence the great mens spirits when it shall apear it shall take away their sting as from King and Lord and Bishop that have formerly persecuted the Saints Christ saith All power is given me in heaven and earth and God saith Vengeance is mine I wonder how men dare do as they have formerly done to put an end to some of Gods chosen people by taking away life and free-creation and by silencing some others in prison which is a type of hell and dare not kill them lest heaven and earth should cry out against them as that it hath done long since Ye Ministers go with your hands full of blood by flattering men in their blood-thirsty-way by sowing pillows and cushions under their elbows very loth to tell them the truth from God saying Why do you take away life and free-creation from the creatures of God seeing life and death is in the hands of the Lord then what hath man to do to take away life from any of the creatures of God it is an intolerable thing which of you Priests will ingage for Christ in this cause saying Oh great men I doubt you will sink in the lake of Gods irrecoverable vengeance for vengeance is the Lords and he will give it them to drink for the Soul that sinneth it shall die Let men take heed how they act and see that they act in righteousness better they had never been born then to be bloody persecutors to offend any of those little ones of Christ either by death or imprisonment GOd teacheth us by his Son he is the sure word of prophesie our everlasting Gospel which may reprove the literal teachers that call the Scriptures the Gospel when indeed they are but the writings of men put together as a History but Christ is the eternal mystery Christ Jesus alone is our eternal peace free from failable mixture it is God from the beginning he is the word of life beyond the written word of man so is the eternal decree in paradise and as by a further manifestion of his Son to preach and declare forth all truth far above the writings of men which is not the word of God but mans word spoken in part nd prophesied in part as Paul declareth Therefore the Scripture cannot fully be called the word of God but mens traditions and part of the minde of God they prophesied in part they writ in part they believed in part of the mystery of God but Christ he comes in the volume of the book he is our sure word of prophesie far higher then any Scripture and for that cause Scripture cannot be fully called the word of God except
Fourthly he will appear by Witnesses which shall extinguish one mans tongue for the mouth of two or three witnesses shall be an establishment and the many Voyces shall swallow up your Ministerial Voyce These two witnesses shall have power in the dayes of their Prophesie to turn the waters into blood so often as they will that is to declare forth the bloody condition of blood-thirsty persons which you dare not do for losing your impropriated Parsonages These Witnesses shall have power to shut Heaven gates so often as they will that it rain not It is not meant the imperial Heaven of Heavens but it is meant they shall shut the gates of the heavenly and visible Kingdom here below that none shall enter in to raigne in that pure State but such as shall be approved Members of that glorious Jerusalem above These Witnesses shall have power to shut Heaven that i● rayne not that is twelve it shall not raigne in the dayes of their power but shall be finally swallowed up in the Victory of Christ it shall not raigne it and it it and it it and it it and it it and it it and it That is no outward power shall raign in the time of Christs power The first the first thing that shall not raigne is Earthly King and Grace The second thing that shall not raigne is Lord and Protector The third thing that shall not raigne is Power and Excellency of Man The fourth thing that shall not raigne is Worship and Honor. The fifth thing that shall not raign is Highness and Greatness of Men. The sixth thing that shall not raigne is Priest and Lawyer for Christ will sit upon the backs of all those and be exalted by the multitude of the people multitudes multitudes shall stand upon Angella Christ must raign by his Saints till he hath put all Authority and power under his Feet 2 Cor. 15. The Feet of the two Witnesses shall tread in pieces the Dragons tail as Christ broke his head so they shall bruise his heel for the Antitype of Satans Kingdom must fall and perish under the power of Army Giddon O Army Army Arme of the Lord he will create a defence upon thy Walls and Bulworks They shall have power to shut Heaven that it rain not that is they shall silence all the powers and the Angels of your Churches that is by a new disciplying power that shall put down the raigning power of such as have raigned over his power though they may make an attempt against the holy City yet fire must come down from Heaven and destroy them Any instrument framed against the power of Jerusalem shall not prosper none shall raigne in this Kingdom but the faithful Witnesses of Christ called and chosen These Witnesses are said to be two though many in number yet two is the least number which maketh one mans testimony void and of none effect Ye great and high Doctors and all ye Legators what will become of your Courts and infamous Colledges I suppose in short time they will stand like old Pauls or the Barn of Westminster without any trading very infamous yet borne up with Crutches whose constellations will fail and all your Priestly powers which have raigned so long over the people for there is one King one Lord one High-Priest and one Prophet that shall put down every power High and lofty Doctors that ha●e got so many hundreds a year in your hands and yet are commanded to bring your Tythes into Gods Store-house and not into your own houses you have kept the people under bondage which God will now set at liberty when your Ministery is down yet the people shall bring the tenth of their substance into Gods Store-house as their Father Abraham did which shall shame your doings that are not good He saith You go to your Cieled Houses but my House lyeth desolate and ye rob Gods House of the benefits and come not in at the Door but clime up some other way which is unlawful And Christ saith I am the Door the Truth the Life and ye injoy all things of my Father and those benefits of Tythes you cannot injoy to your selves for they be proper to the Widow the Fatherless the Stranger the Blind and the Lame and to be brought into the Store-house for Collection and hospitality to those that want But in this I finde the Priests do omit and commit Sacriledge against the Order of Gods house Ye Doctors see and wonder the Lord hath appeared in me that I should be to you as a foolish Shepherd to tell you of folly sometimes in the night when my Body slept yet my spirit was awake and heard as it had been Voyces both in the night and also on the day which caused me to write when he declared unto me the things that should shortly come to pass by so many dark and spiritual appearances which are hideous to men yet known to me as one born in due time Doctor High-Priest you must stoop at ordination Christ was an ordained Minister so was not you he was sent of his Father Now if you can prove your selves ordained Minsters then you may put Christ out of his place You are of the Stepmother or Bondwoman and came not in at the Door which is not according to ordination but by way of impropriation or a taking Christs place upon your selves and set your selves in high places as Ministers of God though not ordained yet you take upon you the place of Christ and declare your selves Pastors to the People and yet not able to feed your selves O silly Shepherds know assuredly there is but one Pastor and that is Christ alone he is Pastor unus Pastor varius Pastor magnus and Pastor function he is the great Shepherd and Bishop of our souls he is our book of remembrance he is the eternal word without any Letter-teachers It 's a great shame that men live more by the teachings of men then they do by the teachings of the Sonne of God which teacheth us in all things Then down with all your Letter-teachers that are as Lawyers that study wisdom by art by policy by learning and skill to deceive them of weak understanding Mal 3. saith There was a Book of Remembrance opened and they talked often together which was the best teaching So that Voyces and Witnesses shall be heard in the room of the Priests for ye must lay down your Priestly power ye must deny your selves and declare Christ to be all in all that he may be Priest King over all but ye have stood so long as Vice-admiral over all in your Pulpits domineering over the People to keep them under your rule Doctor thou canst not truly preach Christ till thou throwest all down at his Feet and whatever thou beest thou must throw down thy own self-power Object What a Minister and throw-down his power Answ Yes why not for how canst thou royally preach Christ and declare thy self a Minister of God and yet

When the light shineth from the east to the west then the power of the Son of man is nigh at hand You know when the Sun appeareth in its brightness the Moon and Stars must give place to that light and it onely raigneth over them so Doctors Ministers and Churches your lights shall go out at his appearing and all your Moonorical powers shall be extinguished and all the Stars called Ministers shall lose their borrowed lights when every one shall acknowledge Christ to be their Minister and live under their own vine So much for the four Elements called the four Constellations which is the Church-power or otherwise called Moon and Stars that shall fail at his bright appearing that the glory of the Son of God may appear from on high and that all may be reconciled to his light declaring him to be King Lord Priest and Prophet the onely called Minister of God before whom every Ministery shall cease onely pleading for truth shall hold with prayer and mourning among all Christians called the great mourning of all the families of the earth every family apart when the brightness of the Son of God appeareth it shall be as the mourning in Hadadrimmon when there shall be trembling and quaking as the Prophets did in their times of danger when there shall be a great shaking that men shall shake Ministers shake and every power shake truely then it behoveth every one to quake and tremble for the Lord will terribly shake the earth the mighty men shall fall the honorable men shall throw down their Honors and shall deny their high Titles of Grace and Worship for all their seenal Witchcrafts shall be cut out of the earth and every Witch that deceiveth the people every Soothsayer shall be found out and every Sorcerer that deceiveth for all things shall be proved upon the Sanctuary thou shalt not worship any graven image which is but an earthly man to fall down and worship before him thou shalt worship God and him alone and not man whose breath is in his nostrils though living in honour yet shall perish as the beasts from his presence as contemptible IT hath always been that wicked Hamans have ruled over the people of God they be called Gog or Haman-Gog that shall be brought under and so low that they shall not act as they have formerly done What have your Pulpittians been all along but as a Gallows to hang up Mordecai's Though I do not say all Ministers are Hamans yet some of that strain have been cruel men called Bishops and for the most part you Priests are much like the generation that fell before Adam so proud that God in his jealousie threw them down They were called the Angels that fell and Royally petype out Ministers that John calleth the Angels of the Churches or the Stars that must fall that have stood so long in the holy place of Christ and now shall be bound down with the world under the name and notion of the worldly kingdom that shall suddenly be bound down for one thousand yeers When Christs power shall raign then Satan and his kingdom shall be bound said to be Haman-Gog that shall have no more power to assail and afflict the people of Christ when the persecuting power is taken off when the Saints shall sit and judge the Ministers which hold up the power of the Beast which stand so high as Lord Speaker to silence the people Ye Ministers are called the abomination sitting in the holy place as Mediators betwixt God and men so high in the place of Christ and therefore Capernaum exalted so high shall come down as lowe as dry bones for Gog and Haman-Gog's bones shall be gathered together and so be buried by the
to forsake wife and children and calling too yet I must do it and that is my cross to follow my Saviour in his example and not to be led by false Christs or such as you call Ministers of God And for that I stand up which doth anatomize my life And as John lost his life for Christ so I lay down my life for him daily I know my self truly called to it night and day I can have no rest the Lord is with me continually moving me in the work of the new Creation and to go out a Disciple in the power of Eliah a Messenger to call in the Jews If any one would take up my place he cannot perform it neither can I deny it or put it off Therefore let all godly souls mourn with me for I shall be sure of a solitary life as an Anatomy shall I die and the end of my pilgrimage is not known and thus I give up all yet I advise not every one to do so but to walk up to that calling that God hath called them to I say Judgement must sit and the Saints must judge the ends of the earth for God is the beginning and the end of every work I speak as killed yet alive and though I die daily yet I live and my cross doth anatomize my life when I see the unstableness and brevity of life so changeable are all things under Christ his brightness putteth out every light he appeareth as the Sun Let all be silenced BAbylon shall down with all her merchandizes Gods people are commanded to depart out of her the world doth lament her miserable condition saying Alas alas and cannot help her and being thus taken in the same snare with her that they can do no less but mourn with her saying How is our condition changed and we brought low that were so high exalted The clamation is saying It is not your greatness but your goodness that God esteems which causeth her to mourn seeing her wants saying How art thou fallen from God in the world and art become odious in his sight destitute and art become the habitation of Divels and all unclean spirits saying We have recreated our selves in the world and sent gifts one to another in vain for in a moment our condition is changed and we left miserable and desolate cut off in our hopes our iniquities have reached to heaven and God is angry Alas poor Babylon how are we fallen our Idolatry it is all disclosed And thus Babylon must fall in all her practices of oppression and covetousness and from every unlawful act when all scoffers and jeerers shall be brought under this sad calumny of hell in the world which may then cause them to say We be ashamed of our smoak that ascendeth up to heaven and we justly see our burning saying Alas alas for in a moment it is come upon us when all prophane persons shall be laid out in the open view of Gods Church under the judgement of a community bar'd out from the inward temple being left under a dark and a fearful dispensation How may this terrifie the hearts of all unbelievers when judgement is inflicted upon them when they shall be shut out from the holy community of Saints burning under the fire of Gods jealousie and contempt hopeless and helpless I pity your condition all ye Merchants of the world for your earthly treasures shall burn and your sorrows shall come unawares and ye must fall at his appearing and all the dark corners of the earth shall be made manifest and discovered by his kingdom Alas poor Babylon we cannot hide our decayes upon Gods discovery it is not our curiosity that can keep us but if we be wicked we must fall for God will search Jerusalem with torches and much more you that disobey him he will prove all your works and what is within us and whether we be Hypocrites or Christians to know whether we be royal for him or no otherwise we must burn and fall in her idolatry and so be shut out of the land of the living and lie in eternal despair This Babylon shall fall first at the preaching of the kingdom Secondly it shall penetrate and fall at the discovery of the outward court Thirdly it must fall at the building of the inward temple Fourthly it shall finally fall after the little book is opened and the everlasting Gospel preached to shake both heaven and earth meaning the godly and the wicked There is a threefold shaking first of nations to bring them all into one which is to his kingdom for all the kingdomes of the earth must become the kingdom of our Lord and yeild to his golden scepter Secondly there must be a great shaking of heaven or the heavenly people Ministers others to drive them of their own bottoms so that every Christian way shall be broken to pieces and this burning from above shall cashire all your opinions that godliness may be one and all differences cease that Christ may be one and his name one and his nation one to him That unity may swallow up all differences that they may serve him with one heart in love and under one consent The third shaking is the earth or earthly mindes of men thus carried away from God And therefore they be called Babylon which shall endure a terrible shaking when the third part of the earth shall fall which is Sodom when God shall give up all her doings of cruelty to his holy ones This shaking shall shake down all her power and pride and all her domineering fashions which shall cause her to say Alas whither are we fallen now our condition is changed and we brought under our underlings when our pompe shall be turned into emptiness and our wordly joy into mourning it shall then shew apparently that thou art fallen and so soon as God calleth out his own people from out of thee in that very moment and hour thou shalt burn and consume till thou shalt be found no more O Babylon how soon will thy judgement come What city was like this and cry when they see her burning with spiritual fire for in a moment our great riches are come to nothing they that were made rich by her shall stand afar off and see her burning and dare not controverse for her nor hold up their hand to defend her but shall cry Alas alas such is our condition hopeless and helpless This shall be her condition when Sion raigneth and God shall sever the one from the other by a refining power Here is a use of trial to all your consciences to know and try your selves whether ye be of Canaan or not if thou beest not thou must burn with Babylon for God will burn up all idolatry he will consume the wicked from off the earth Therefore rejoyce over her ye holy ones come to the feast of the Lord to eat her flesh and burn her with fire for in her was found the blood of the
art and policy who shall learn him knowledge shall Oxford and Cambridge instruct his way their places are inferiour to him for Christ is our true word of prophesie far above all art or pretended skill God is the best University he will teach his people in all truth by an inward renewing the mind if God teacheth then let men lay down and say We cannot savingly teach we preach the letter but salvation is from above he ministreth the gift of healing and man cannot do it Ordination is ceased with the Apostles and God doth appear to us by his Son and under the name of two witnesses which is the Law and Testimony within that teacheth us better then all the Priests Therefore I desire we may all see and live under the teachings of God for he teacheth us the mystery of truth let God be true and every man a lyar you Assyrian Priests may prognosticate the people but Christ is the sure word of prophesie we will hear him with a laudable voice The Priests say Hear us we will not be silenced but for all this thou must be silenced Oh Priest for Kings and Lords and Nobles and Magistrates shall be silenced at his bright appearing There shall be silence in heaven for the space of half an hour Rev. 8.1 Who shall stand when he appeareth by a dividing of time I say all you Ministers have not yet preached the Gospel neither can any man preach the Gospel at all until he throweth down his own power of preaching and make Christ your Priest and Teacher and say you are no more a teacher of salvation but a keeper of cattel from your fathers and to work by the sweat of your brows for knowledge shall run to and fro and meet by voices and witnesses that shall throw off and extinguish all your negative voices that stand deffinating so high in Pulpits one witness of the Minister or Priest of himself is a negative untruth and is centred upon meesum which is by a singular vote and cannot stand for it is Christ alone that shall stand to preach for he is ordained and sent as a Mediator of himself between God and man Priests I believe in short time your people will be few in number for then and at that time the people shall betroth themselves unto the Lord and will refuse your teachings when they are inwardly taught of God they shall remove from you Pulpits and ye shall no more say to the people Know the Lord for they shall all know me that is they shall all know Christ to be the Minister and shall return to their first Love from whence they were fallen saying Come do thy first work as if Christ should say Christians come enter into your rest once in him and ever he is our Sabbath and Gospel of peace he is unchangeable to the end and that is a Sabbath indeed it is not your keeping a day once a week that can make a true rest it is the Sabbath within having Christ dwelling in thee by a true faith that is a Sabbath and a rest that cannot be taken away the receivings of Christ in thee quickeneth thee every moment from day to day which sheweth forth in thee a continual Sabbath From yeer to yeer thou shalt worship the Lord and keep the feast of Tabernacles when a Christian walketh in all outward righteousness that is a feast of one Tabernacle and to walk by inward righteousness that is the other feast of Tabernacles Ye shall once a yeer come up to keep the feast of tabernacles Zach. 14. These two Tabernacles the one for an inward the other for an outward are called first and second Tables which shall be the worship that shall be set up from day to day and yeer to yeer until Shilo come Priests it is not for you to keep a day once a week and be as evious as ever it is not to keep a day and be as covetous as ever that is not a true Sabbath Christ is the Sabbath and he is our eternal rest And Minister thou must deny thy self if ever thou wouldst enter into his rest for Christ sweetneth all things to a Christian every doubt is comprehended and comprimized in him he is the end of trouble of war and of every conflict he is our Gospel-peace to still the rage of all obstruction and for want of making Christ our teacher it causeth us to follow false Christs I mean Priests and Jesuites that teach their own Gospel and set themselves up by fat parsonages feigned lovers to deceive the people as if they had the minde of God at their will Humble-bee-Priests fat belly-goded-Parsons to declare to the people once a week as if God were tied to their set times so as the Jews did so do you keep a day once a week and yet crucifie the Lord and so do ye not knowing his eternal Sabbath Ye silly people I much condole your weakness in that you so much idolize the Priests and neglect your onely true rest The Lord appeareth to us every day aswel as on that day which thou callest the Lords day and truely ye are as legal as ever the Jews were though cunningly you call your Sabbath the Lords day yet cannot take away your observed forms the Lords day is every day Therefore Priest throw down thy observation Christ is the Sabbath of rest his day is every day from yeer to yeer Ye Doctors and Priestical Ministers you are very censurous I cannot but further relate a Pulpit-story of this Doctor Hill by some godly persons of neer relation to him having some discourse with them they did not comply with his element but were a little contrary to his judgement not pleasing to his allegation which to affront them in their judgement he thought to met with them in the Pulpit took a text of Scripture to cross them but as I understood God met him in the way and frustrated him in his first text whereof he took another text and in the same manner God met him again and blasted him upon his third subject so that he judged himself stricken and came down from the Pulpit and related a sad story to some that God justly punished him by reason of his inveterated spirit of bitterness so that I finde God met him by way of etilliation as we have an example in Jacob and Esau the Lord punished Jacob for taking his brother Esau by the heel Therefore let no man think so low of his brother but that God can spiritually raise men to higher knowledge then Cambridge can do And let not Ministers and Doctors be so high now God appeareth to the weak things of the world to confound the haughtiness of the proud for we have a sure word of prophesie far higher then you can teach Doctors and Ministers ye preach of a Prince that ruleth in the Air I pray you what is that if you were as far from that as you are from right disciplying you would have but little to do with it Doctor I must tell you what it is that ruleth in the Air it is money which is the King of all the creatures that ruleth in the Air it buyes and sells and captivates all things under it silver and gold bewitcheth the world and you would spend your lives in the Pulpit for it and it is called but the Prince that rules in the Air and beguileth the Priests that preach for hire Christs is a free-Ministery and an endless Priesthood yours is failable I can give relation of a Priest that removed himself from about 40. l. a year for a place of 300. or 400. l. a year This Priest cunningly bewitched his people of the new place where he came and in the midst of his Sermon related to them That God had brought him thither in a cloud from the substance of 40. l. a year to 300. l. a year And was not this a cunning dawber to delude the people by a dark cloud Numbers Leviticus and Deuteronomy declareth That the Priests shall have no inheritances therefore I finde they that have bought Tythes and Impropriations have bought and sold that which was none of their own Lord Protector I desire you would give Tythes and impropriations to the widows the fatherless the blinde and the lame and to the poor as Christ would have it done so let it be that every Parish be eased of collection and praise God for the great good you have done for them A poor messenger a disciple separate for the kingdom of Christ I could have added much more to this work but in short I have declared some of the minde of God Daynus A messenger of the new Covenant under the Ark-angel of the Covenant As John was sent a messenger to the Jews to declare the kingdom of heaven at hand so I Daynus am sent to the whole Israel of God to shew the kingdom of heaven is come in power to me and I am the first upon the feet restored of the dry-bones of Israel Daynus to shew the day and year of the Lord and his year excepted FINIS
