Cross where that precious oyntment covering and living bread for your souls is And ye that say your humble servant Sir or your servants servant bowing and cringing using many vain words Are ye not lyers and hypoctites ye or nay And is not the woe from God to the hypocrite And is not the lyer for the lake when ye say your humble servant Sir c. Are not your hearts haughty puft up in pride and living in it And are ye not wanton scornets mockers and persecutors of the innocent Are these the fruits of true humility Nay nay see Gal. 5.22 23 24 25 26. and there ye shall read the declaration of the fruits of true humility and in the light of Christ Judge your selves and ye shall not be judged for ye that use that deceitful salutation saying I am you servants servant ye are of Hams Generation Gen. 9.25 And that that is in high esteem amongst men is abomination to the Lord. Therefore repent while ye have time for the day is come and coming that an account shall be given for every idle word And by your words saith Christ shall ye be justifyed and by your words shall ye be condemned Math. 12.36 27. Therefore all who to the light and life of Christ in any measure are come and by it are guided cannot use your vain words nor bow to your deceit not use your fashions which to them are past away and for that cause ye persecute them to death and no murtherer hath eternal life abiding in him 1 Iohn 3.15 But where do yeread in all the Scriptures that any did require any such thing as putting off the hat and fining of men and casting of them into prison if not done Did ever Moses who was as a King a Priest and a Prophet to Israel or David and Solomon who were Kings ever compel men to such a thing Solomon said my son give me the heart not the hat Is not the hat an ornament of the body may ye not as well compel the servants of the Lord to pull off their shooes as their hats And why do ye compel the male servants of the most high God to stand bare headed before you more then the Females Oh! the loftiness and haughtiness of man I will saith the Lord God of Hosts stain the pride glory of all flesh an woe to the crown of pride Do ye not shew your selves to be those whited Sapulchers which appear very beautiful outwardly or with a seeming humility but are within full of hypocrysie and all uncleanness And although some of you say Abraham Lot c. bowed yet they did not bow to the wicked but it was to the Angels or Messengers of the most high God although Jacob bowed seven times Blessed is he that readeth and understandeth Jacob was then in returning to his fathers house thus saith the Lord to you O ye Edomites or the house of Esau because Esau your father and ye his children pursued his brother with the sword did cast off all pity and his anger did tear as yours doth perpetnally and he kept as ye do his wrath for ever Therefore thus saith the Lord the house of Jacob shall now be a fire and the house of Joseph shall be a flame and the house of Esau shall now be for stubble and no one of your fathers house shall remain the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it And to whom then shall the seed of Iacob bow but unto me saith the Lord God of hosts whose alone right it is But may I ask you a question what spirit is this that is so much contending for honour before men bowings putting off the hatt c. Is it not that spirit that was in Saul when the spirit of God was departed from him Or is it not that that was in Haman that vexed him because Mordecai could not bow to him Or whether it be not that which was in the Chaldeans and Nebuchadnezzar who had prepared an hot fiery furnace to cast the Innocents in because they could not bow to there image Or is it not that spirit that would have had the Lord Jesus to have bowed or fallen down and worshipped him yea or nay which Christ reproved and said Get thee hence Satan It is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God c. Mat. 4.10 11. But Paul saith concerning the holy fathers of old Abraham Isaac c. Brethren I would not have you to be ignorant that all our Fathers were under the cloud and passed through the sea c. But now the star of Jacob is risen the Cloud is scattering the Lord again as in the ancient of daies is smiting the tongue of the Egyptian Sea in the seven streams this is enough to the wise And all that but to Mount Sion are come a Law from God they have received which saith Thou shalt not bow c. And the Scripture doth testifie that Peter a Minister of Christ and his holy Angel did deny and forbid bowing unto them for when Cornelius would have fallen down or bowed to Peter he denyed it and said stand up for I my self also am a man Acts 10.25 26. And when the Angel came unto John Iohn 19 10. 22.9 Exod. 20 45. Deut. 5.8 9. Phil. 2.9 he fell down and would haue worshipped the Angel But he forbad it saying see thou do it not I am thy fellow-servant and of thy brethren the Prophets which keep the sayings of the book worship God which is a spirit And unto me saith the Lord God shall every knee bow both in Heaven and in earth So that it is evident that there is not one Scripture that doth require any such thing as putting off the hat or bowing But the Scriptures do testifie against it and forbid it as I have proved before except it be that of Solomon which saith The evill shall bow before the good and the wicked at the gate of the righteous And although Moses said Thou shalt stand up before the hoary head yet he did not say they should put off the hat or bow c. And as for you who are contending for flattering titles of honour which yee say Paul gave to Festus Agrippa c. Luke to Theophilus Iohn to the Lady c. This cover is too narrow for your deceipt in the light of Christ are ye seen judged and denyed for when Paul said noble Festus c. and O King Agrippa c. Paul spake as he found by them for they were more noble than the Tumultuous Jewes who took him to wit Paul with Sylas and cast them into the inner Prison Acts 26.22 23 24 25. and made their feet fast in the stocks And the Magistates rent their clothes and beat them uncondemned c. Acts 22.25 But when Paul came before Festus and Agrippa they were more noble than those aforesaid gave him leave peaceably to give an account of his faith and the hope that was in him
