REader This is the word of the Lord to thee take heed unto the light Christ hath inlightened thee wi●hall to guide thy mind into the fear of God to the light of Christ in thy conscience I speak which if thou hearken unto it it will lead thee out of pride and lus● and envie and will bring condemnation upon that nature thou hast lived and acted in that is out of the feare of God and hearkning ●o this light in thy conscience it will di●ect thy mind to God and draw thy min● and affections out of earthly things and the pollutions of the world by which thou art defiled thy mind and conscience is defiled by lust and uncleannesse lusting after earthly things and the flesh is defiled by that mind that wallowes in the earth Now minding this light in thy conscience Christ hath inlightened thee withall thy understanding will come to be inlightened to see the deceipts and the blind guides which have led thee from this light in thy conscience which should exercise it and lead thee to go to fear him and to be taught of him and will lead thee from the teachings of man which keeps thee in thy sins and draw thee from this light in thy conscience which convinceth thee of sin and lets thee see sin and evill and all ungodlinesse and will bring thee to deny it and lead thee to repentance and so thou wilt come to know Jesus Christ which gives repe●tance and remission of sins and then thou wilt deny Priest Sherlock and all that generation of Priests who saith in the 32. page of his book that Christ was a person ●ot capable of faith and repentance And here I do charge him in the presence of the living God to be a lyer for he is the author and finisher of faith and be preached repentance and gives repentance to his people And he denies the knowledg and understanding the Apostles had and yet saith he preaches the same Gospel pag. 10. and saith that externall Tongues Arts and Sciences gives them to understand the meaning of the Gospel pag. 11. and saith that the spirit causeth fleshly fruits pag. 22. and saith that to understand the doctrine of God they must use the light of distinctions pag. 54. and saith that Religion is the art of arts pag. 86. and saith that prayer in all the parts and species thereof is a means to fetch down the holy spirit of God pag. 144. when as the Saints said the spirit taught them to pray and that they prayed with the spirit and with understanding Now to the light in your consciences I speak which will let you see these lying Priests and blind guides which have deceived you so long and kept you blind and ignorant So all people cease from them and wait upon the Lord for teaching A lover of the truth and a witnesse against the deceit and deceivers and a lover of the souls of all people and that righteousnesse might be established was I moved to write this Richard Hubberthorne A reply to a book set forth by the Priest of Barwick who writes R. Sherlock which was an answer to some Queries set forth to him by them whom he calls Quakers who writes himself Batcheler of Divinity and a Diviner he is proved Quest 1. WHether your gospel be the same which the Apostles preached and if it be why go you to Oxford and Cambridge when the Apostle saith the gospel that he preached was not after man neither was he taught it by man Pr. Thy answer is You preach the same gospel the Apostles preached but do not attain the knewledge and understanding of this gospel by the same means Rep. Here let all people see what wooden stuffe this is How can you preach the same gospel and have not the same knowledge and understanding If it be not by the same knowledge and understanding it is not the same gospel for the spirit of understanding is but one and from this spirit of understanding thou hast cleared thy self Pr. And thou sayest You ought not to depend upon any such immediate revelation from heaven as the Apostles had Rep. Here again thou h●st cleared thy self from the Spirit that gave forth the scriptures who denies immediate revelation from heaven and here thou hast denyed thy self to b● any Minister of Jesus Christ for no man knows the Son but the Father and to whom he is revealed and thou that denyest immediate Revelation thou hast denyed the Son of God and hast shewed that thou hast not life for he that hath not the Son of God hath not life And therefore we deny such schools a● Oxford and Cambridge where the rudiments of the world are invented and abundance of filthy words are in the answer to this Querie which are not worth mentioning Que. 2. Whether you can give another meaning to the scripture● then they are or whether the Apostles did give the meaning to them when they spoke them forth yea or nay and if they did what need learned men give a meaning to them Pr.

Here thou wouldest make people believe Christ were in the letter who is the substance that gave it forth and was in them that spoke it forth for the scripture doth declare another thing of God and Christ it doth not declare God and Christ is in the letter but here it is that fools might appear to be blinde and such as thou sayest learned men must give the meaning to the scripture Pr. And thou sayest that Christ took a text and that Philip took a text Rep. O thou enemy and slanderer of Christ and the Apostle Did
