so thou wilt hold the true form in unity as from the life it is moved observed and practised which being less or more it is but one in all and doth perfectly agree in it self both in ground and practice and what is formed by the life and manifested from the life that form is not without the power of the life but is filled with the glorious presence of the love of God and that manifestation is to be submitted unto in all humbleness of mind as in the sight of God and there every babe lamb and plant will receive the heavenly nourishment and so grow up as living members of a compleat body in Christ the head In the light of Christ is the riches of the kingdom and in the light are all things ministred that is good for food for the light gives the savor of the life and the life is the souls nourishment and this bread comes down from heaven and hath life in it and they that eat it live by it and do not die Therefore in the light all are to enter into the house of the Lord and wait at his Table where food is prepared and the cup filled and in all humility to receive what the Father giveth and covet no more and then you will sit as a family at on table and discern the Lords body and feed upon it and not be condemned and herein God commends his love unto you in that he furnishes his table for you and gives you to drink of the river of his pleasure freely and this is the cup of the New Testament in his blood which is his life and it doth not corrupt nor decay in it selfe but is alwayes new and fresh and living and so there is a time when the life opens and ministers and there is a time to receive it and a time to retain it and a time to feed upon it and a time to encrease in it and a time when some may be spared and a time to deal it and this is the Son of wisdom that abides in the Fathers house and is alwayes in his presence and knows the Fathers time in giving and observes the Fathers time in disposing and he neither carelesly hides his portion nor prodically spends it but in the Fathers counsel is ordered aright therefore every one know your own portion and when ye meet together in one place sit down at the Lords table eat his body drink his cup for that ●s your portion and alwayes feel it new in the kingdom and do not give your own por● unto any until you have enough for your sel● and some to spare for when God commendeth love unto you and that ye taste how good he is t● sinke down into it that you may come more 〈◊〉 the fulness and what is given receive it as yo●● own portion and feed upon it and grow in 〈◊〉 and run not from the table with a taste and pro●●gally spend it for so you may give your own br●●● away which God commends unto you for y●●● own use and thereby lose your portion whilest ●●● children of the kingdom sit at the table and s● together at the table eating the bread of life drinking the cup of blessing and so inherit 〈◊〉 own portion and increase in it and then the 〈◊〉 overflows and they can spare a little and yet h●●● enough for themselves and this is a safe state every one to keep at the table of the Lord.

right Service nor Accepted o● God C. I would know father how it 〈◊〉 concerning those things called Ord●nances as Baptism and Bread an● Wine which are much used in the● Worship F. Why child as to those thing they rose from the Pope's inventio● who hath had power in the Night o● Apostacy and hath set up his D●vices which are yet continued in England though he seemingly is denied and the whole practice of those things as they use them had their Institution by the Pope and were never so Ordained of Christ for he did not ordain Sprinkling water in a childs face or to make a sign of the Cross in its fore-head nor God-fathers and God-mothers to undertake for it neither did he ordain Bread and Wine to be so used and received And the wine is another of the Pope's inventions who knows not the cup of blessing in which is the communion of the Blood of Christ so hath invented a Silver Cup and pours wine into it and then the Priest gives it to the people and tells them That is the Blood of Christ which is shed for them when it is Wine and not Blood And gives them Bread and tells them That is the Body of Christ that is broken for them when people neither discern the Body nor the Blood of Christ and so Eat and Drink Damnation to themselves And true Baptism child is in the Spirit which Baptizeth into one Body And the true Meat and Drink is the Body and Blood of Christ which the worthy receiver feeds upon in his Heart So that these things be false and not to be regarded by the true Christians who are come to the Spirit and live in the Spirit which is the Substance C. But is not the place in which all these things are performed a true Church F. Nay the true Church is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and Christ is the Head of it and hath the preheminence in it but the place in which such things are performed is also of the Pope's invention and he counts himself to be the head of it and he would have the preheminence and is a Place made by men and it is Wood and Stone which do decay and wax old and come to nought Then they make Levies and gather Mony to Repair it again and if they do not so it will fall and consume and turn into Mire and Dirt But the true Church of which Christ is the Head is a Living thing and doth not decay nor wax old but is ingrafted into him and there is neither spot nor blemish in it C. But are not these the true Christians that practise and perform such things F. They have got the Christan's Words and so count themselves Christians but they are not in the Christian's Life neither is their Way the Christian's Way so they are practising those things that God requires not at theis hands neither doth he accept them And who are true Christians child they come into Union with Christ by the effectual working of his Power in them through which they are translated and made new creatures and the new creature is in Christ and is a true Christian but the old is an Apostate C. There is also some other things that I would be informed in because I stand something doubtful concerning them F. What are they Child C. I observe that People make much to do one with another when they meet together or part one from another in putting off their Hats and Bowing and Cringing and going Backward and Scraping and I am doubtful whether this be the true Honour with which I am to honour all men F. This Doubt will be easily removed and thou mayest be assured that it is not the true Honour C. How may I be assured of it F. Why child they that seek Honour one of another they do not believe in Christ the power of God which is honourable in all men and is to be honoured where it appears in any and this seeks not the honour below or to have the Hat put off or the Body to bow and cringe or the feet to scrape it neither seeks such honour nor can give such honour for it is a beggarly honour when it is compared with that honour that comes from God alone and where it is sought and expected it is from below and that which answers the Expectation is the same and so men seek honour one of another and they give it one to another with their Hat and Kee And Your humble Servant Sir And such are not in the power of God but in the vain customs of the Heathen and so it is got in a Custom to put of the Hat and bow and cringe and scrape and Women to Curtisie and Droop And this is sought for and expected one from another and they receive it one of another And these are the Apostate Christians that are out of the Power of God that is Honourable and so seek honour one of another and are respecting one anothers Person and the Rich and the Proud they get the Honour and the Poor and the Needy they are not regarded C. But is there not such an Honour that belongs to Magistrates and Men in Authority F. Nay Child such Honour doth not belong to them neither are they Honoured when in is done so unto them for true Honour is from the Heart and not from the Hat And where any thing of God appears in Magistrates and Men in Authority that is Honoured with the Heart and it doth not expect the Hat And this is true Honour Child and it is given unto whom it is due C. But seeing such a thing is expected by Men in Authority is it not better for me to give it to them then to offend them F. Thou must be careful Child how thou Reason'st about it lest thou run'st into Transgession for if thou respect'st Persons thou committest sin and the Law of God will convince thee of Trangression Therefore mind the Lord and his Teachings and if men be offended because thou obey'st the Lord thou wilt not be guilty of the offence but the Wo shall be unto that in them which would be Honoured with thy Hat from whence the offence comes C. And doth not the Lord require any such thing to be done F. Nay The Lord requires it not but the pride of man's Heart seeks it for the Lord requires that thou shouldest Honour all men in him and that is to give Honour unto whom it is due but unto a proud heady high-minded Man there is no Honour due though he may be great in the World and be in Place to Rule but in the Power of God the Pooor is as Honourable as the Rich and the Beggar as he that Rules and the Honour is given as due unto the Power and not unto any man's Person C. I would be informed of another thing Father What Language I am to speak unto a single Person whether Thou or You be the true
