any civill constitution but an ecclesiasticall as all men know For their Courts are spirituall Courts and they spirituall Lords and spirituall Rulers deriving their offices in deed from that Spirit that ruleth in the aire Next being ecclesiasticall they belong either vnto the true Church of Christ or to some malignant synagogue but not to the true Church of CHRIST for we know that the LORD when he furnished his body with all the members meet for the same and bestowed all the Offices thereon wherewith it was at any time to be indued unto his second comming appointed no such offices therin as these Locusts are Besides they are a meer superfluous and cursed addition vnto the Testament of Iesus Christ as all men that ever read the old and new Testament do know For there are no such Officers or such offices mentioned therin And therfore they are the Tares which Satan the enemy of Iesus Christ sowed brought foorth even the plantes which the Lord God hath not planted so must be and shal be rooted out of his vineyard Yea they are no other thē the Locusts that came out of the bottomlesse pit upon the opening thereof by that darkened starre Rev. 9.3 unto whom the key of the same pit was committed Thirdly belonging vnto the malignant Church they apperteyn either vnto the heathenish Pagan religion or vnto the assemblie of Antichrist that great Traitor enemie of Iesus Christ But not vnto the heathen religion for there are no such Offices Officers and forme of regiment to be found among them Wherfore they do belong vnto no other body ecclesiasticall or civill but onely vnto that apostaticall kingdome which arose vp and stil continueth vnder the name of Christ Iesus that is the kingdome of Antichrist We are able to shew them their originall with our finger and also all the world will beare vs witnes that the Pope left them here to keep possession for him when at the beginning of her Maiesties reign he was throwen out with the rest of his guard the Cardinalls Abbots Priors Monks Friers c. Further all societies both ecclesiasticall and civil can be perfect without these Offices and this forme of Regiment save onely that right and well ordered societie of the man of sinne and his members For the Church of Christ may be perfect and absolute without these Egyptian grashoppers the civil Magistracie may be perfect without them so may the heathen idolatrie too But as for the hoast of the Romane Antichrist it shal be altogether vnperfect maimed and wanting the cheif members thereof if it want Lord Archbishops and Bishops Deanes Archdeacons Chancellors Commissaries Officialls to speak nothing in this place of Preistes Deacons so of Chapleines Parsons Vicars Curates Canons Prebendes Singing men Queristers Virgiers which are conspicuous markes whereby the beast is knowen the name and number of his name made up and accomplished Wherfore the conclusion is evident that to cōmunicate in any action of religion within any of the Parish assemblies of this land is to cōmunicate be a member within the Tents that is under the iurisdiction power and authoritie of the kingdome of that Romane Antichrist the direct enimie of Iesus Christ and so to be in a more fearefull case and in greater danger of the Lords wrath then those who remained within the Tentes of Corah Dathan and Abiram Now to come to your Honours of this high Court of Parliamēt I take heaven earth to witnes against you this day that I have here on the behalf of my maister the Lord Iesus Christ cōmenced a true action against the Parish-assemblies of this Land even such as you cannot deny to be true For yee cannot denie the Assemblies of the Land to be subject unto the forenamed officers and forme of Regiment which being ecclesiasticall and not civill as I have declared the verie light of cōmon sense and experience doth shewe unto you apperteine belong not unto the Church of Christ nor unto any heathen Idolatrie but onely unto the kingdome of Babell that band of graven Images and sea of Idolatrie And would you have us to continue in Babell seing our God calleth us out of the same by a mightie voice telling us that he maketh no other account of any that continue within these Territorie but as of those that are become poisoned Dragons unclean and polluted noisome foules and such as haue cōmunion and fellowship with Divels Threatning utter ruine unto us and our soules for evermore if we shall any longer abide within these wicked bandes Nay wil you of this Parliament suffer this cursed Iericho to stand any longer will you suffer these tēts to be pitched this host of Cōspirators to be maintained any longer within this Iland against Iesus Christ and his Saintes Nay will you your selves continue any longer within this rebellious campe and not rather set these Midianitish Tentes on fire throwe your selves downe these Rebellious Capteines also before the feet of IESVS CHRIST the true Captayn of the Lords hoast For my Lords and you the rest of this honourable assemblie I am so far from doubting whether I my brethren have done amisse in leaving these Parishes of the Land that I dare arrest your Honours and all others for conspiring against the glory of the sonne of God and so against your owne salvation whosoever you be that will presume any longer to continue members of these disordered rebellious synagogues And therfore do here for the discharge of my duetie towards the Lord you whom he hath placed in authoritie over me require you to be so farre from following the humour of Adoni-bezek and the rest of his proud confederates in making war against vs the poor Gibeonites who daring no lōger to stād out against the living God have thrown our selves down at his feet that our soules might live as you wil also take the same course with vs. For questionlesse you shall find it true Act. 3.22 Deut. 18.19 with Esa 60.12 that that Nation and that Person which will not heare and be obedient vnto this Prophet and this King which the Lord hath raised vp to sit vpon the throne of David and to rule the same shall be cut of from among his people And touching the kingdome and the government which his father hath given unto him it cannot be transferred vnto another people but it will break and destroy all the kingdomes that stand against it Dan. 2.44 and it shall stand for evermore Wherfore my Lords if you purpose to set vp a kingdome for him I do here in his name charge you to be so far from enacting any thing against vs in this present Parliament who now oppose our selves vnto the forenamed Rebels as you wil decree in his behalf at the least as much as Nebuchad-netser Darius being heathen Princes did establish Dan. 6.26 And that is that in all the Dominions of this her Maiesties Kingdome all
