from his blessed Spirit they were anointed 2 Cor. 1.21 and sealed of God 2 Cor. 1.22 but so art not thou therefore thou art nothing like unto them and they who are annointed and seal d of God as such were they may be Ministers Messengers and Ambassadors of Christ now without the appointment of John Reeves and thy self neither art thou at all owned by the Doctrine of their commission to do as thou dost and pretendest to do under pretence of thy pretended commission it takes no notice of thee and such as thou art to appoint to so great and glorious a Work though thou presume in thy imaginations to be greater then either Prophets of God or Apostles of Christ yet thou never approved thy self to be a Messenger Minister or Ambassador of Christ as they do and did who are and were annointed sealed and sent of God as aforesaid 6. For the Ambassadors who had a commission to preach and were annointed and sealed of God 2 Cor. 1.21 22. and had the Ministration of reconciliation given unto them 2 Cor. 5.18 19 20. a glorious Ministration 2 Cor. 3.8 9 10 11. which is the Ministration of the Spirit 2 Cor. 3.5 6. their sufficiency was not of any like John Reeves and thy self but of God who made them and hath the same power now without John Reeves and thy self to make able Ministers of the New-Testament they approved themselves as the Ministers of God not by reviling cursing and damning but on the contrary in much patience in afflictions in necessities in distresses in stripes in imprisonments in labours in watchings in fastings by pureness by knowledge by long-suffering by kindness by the holy Ghost by love unfeigned by the Word of truth and by the power of God See 2 Cor. 6.4 5 6 7 8 9 10. And the Messengers of Christ whose sufficiency is not of John Reeves and thy self but of God who by virtue of his blessed power and spirit are made able Ministers of the New-Testament and are spiritually annointed and sealed of God they stand approved to God as the Ministers of God according to Gospel-order and the dispensation of the Gospel which is the Ministration of the Spirit but thou hast not so approved thy self who fled from Chesterfield to Bakwell for fear of a few stripes or a whipping when the same was but threatned against thee for thy false Judgement and Doctrine in reviling cursing and damning whereby it is evident that thou art nothing like an Ambassador of Christ and very unfit to appoint to that work and that thy pretended Commission and the greatnesse of thy pretended power is nothing worth Take notice of that 7. The Ambassadors of Christ who were annointed and sealed of God and had the Ministration of Reconciliation given unto them that glorious Ministration of the Spirit wherein they approved themselves as the Ministers of God which thou hast not done they were so far from reviling cursing and damning and rejoicing therein as thou dost that they forgave in the person of Christ 2 Cor. 2.10 and by manifestation of the Truth commended themselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God 2 Cor. 4.1 2. but thou dost not so who art so full of reviling cursing and damning whereby it 's apparent that thy pretended Commission Power and Doctrine thereof is nothing like unto theirs though thou falsly saist it 's as true and of a more higher nature then theirs was in their time thou hast lyed therein and hast born a false Testimony which makes it evident that thou art no chosen Witnesse of the Spirit of Truth 8. The Ambassadors of Christ who were annointed and sealed of God and had the glorious Ministration of the Spirit given unto them by virtue of their commission of the Spirit and the doctrine thereof they commanded for to prove all things and hold fast that which is good and to try the spirits whether they be of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the World 1 Thess 5.21 1 John 4.1 to the end that they might not entertain the Doctrine of any false Prophet nor bid such God spead as abide not in the doctrine of Christ lest they become partakers of their evil-deed 2 John 9.10 11. but by the Doctrine of thy pretended commission thou denies that viz proving of doctrines and trying of spirits saying That neither the Light of Christ within nor no man upon earth can or ought to judge of the Doctrine because thou saist that neither the Light within nor no man upon Earth can or ought to judge of the Doctrine of a Prophet who hath a Commission from God and saist That there neither is nor ever shall be any such Prophet but thy self whilst the World doth endure which is a false assertion or doctrine of thine but hereby it is manifest that thou art against trying of spirits and proving of Doctrines and so art against the reception thereof because Judgement in point of Doctrine is in order to the reception of Doctrine And for want of judgement in that respect they may be deceived who take doctrines upon trust without judging trying thereof how should spirits be tryed and doctrines be proved or how should the Doctrine of Truth be performed which commands to try and prove them if none can or ought as thou falsly saist to judge of the same Whereby it appears that thou art not the chosen Witnesse of the Spirit of Truth and that thy doctrine is contrary to the doctrine of truth and ought not to be received by any man upon earth and it is evident thereby that thy pretended commission is a counterfeit thing invented to beguile and deceive withal and not at all owned by the commission and doctrine of the Ambassadors of the Lord Jesus who were and are annointed and sealed of God 9. The Ambassadors of Christ and chosen Witnesses of the Spirit who were annointed and sealed of God they were workers together with God 2 Cor. 6.1 and did pray in Christ's stead 2 Cor. 5.20 but thou dost not so who instead thereof goes about reviling cursing and damning the beloved people of God who preach from the Scriptures and Light within and by virtue of the power which they have received of God Devils are cast out and as thou saist much good is done by them who ought not to be reviled and cursed by thee as they are whereby it appears that thou art no chosen Witnesse of the Spirit of Truth nor an Ambassador of Christ neither art thou annointed and sealed or sent of God to go about reviling cursing and damning the beloved people of God as thou dost for they who were the chosen Witnesses of the Spirit and Ambassadors of Christ did not so but thou hast exceeded Balaam in that who refused to curse those whom God had blessed And the Ambassadors of Christ annointed sealed and sent of God they approved themselves as the chosen Witnesses of the Spirit annointed and sealed of God
