Christian Reader BY that glorious light which God hath given to me all people by degrees shall see that true peace and sound Religion cannot be established without the help of a true and sound preacher whom God hath made able by the divine power of his spirit for to open and unfould the mysteries and parables in the new Testament to the true meaning and signification to the setting forth of Christ and the true Church with that riches and honour and glory which doth belong to the Saints and one the other side to the confounding of false power and false doctrines which doth belong to the devill which God hath promised shall come to confusion and I say plainely and truely that God my glorious Father he hath made me Iames Hunt a preacher for the same purpose which I have shewed you here in briefe For with my verses and my prose The devill and all his carnall ministers I shall disclose For my verses which have short and long feet That will teach those that are blind For to have more wit For it is written in the tenth Chapter of Saint Matthew 41. verse Christ he tells you plainly he that receiveth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet hee shall receive a Prophet rewards And that is the reward of of eternall glory but ye Protestants and Papists your faith is grown so cold that you will not beleeve that I am a true Prophet except I can shew you a miracle that you may it behold why then I will show you in brife of one strange thing where at you all may wonder why the Protestants and Papist should devide themselves asunder for the Papists they do say that they beleeve in the Catholike Church and so say the Protestants but by the power of God I will boldly say that your cleargy they have deceive you upon both sides for if there be any Protestant or Papist that can finde any place of Scripture in the new Testament for to prove that the true Church of Christ is a Catholike Church then I will be content to be burned but God he hath made me a member of his glorious and triumphing Church for Christ saith in Iohn the 12. Chap. and the 28. Vers Father glorifie thy name then came there a voice from heaven saying I have glorified it and I will glorifie it again and in the 27. Chapter of Iohn Christ ●aith pl●inly the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them that they may be all one as thou Father art in me and I in thee that they may be all one in us that the world may beleeve that thou hast sent me again In the second Epistle to the Corinthians the second chapter and fourteen verse Now thankes be to God which alwayes causeth us to triumph in Christ Iesus this word alwayes doth plainly signifie here in this world and in the world to come for ever and I have proved in brief that Christ hath a glorious and triumphing Church here in this world and God my glorious Father by the powerfull preaching of his word he will cause the glorious Church of Jesus Christ for to flourish by degrees over the whole world which will be to the confounding of the devill and the false Church it is written in the twenty chapter of the Revelations I saw a great white throne and him that sate on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away and there was no place found for them Now I understand he that sits upon the white Throne doth signifie Christ and his preacher for he that is joyned to the Lord is one spirit as you may read in the first Epistle to the Corinthians the sixe chapter and the seventeen vers But ye black coats you do say that you are the heavenly ministers of God and that you have the heavenly treasure of Christ in your earthen vessels but I say that God he hath made me able for to shew ye black coats by what meanes you may have the heavenly treasures of Jesus Christ in your earthen vessels but you doe flie from me as if I were an Antichrist and a deceiver even like unto your selves but ye black coats I must tell you and your disciples that you shall finde no true sound rest for your soul untill you be reconciled to Jesus Christ and to the Ministration of the blood of the new Testament which is the Throne of grace but master black coat you do say that the devill hath puffed me up with pride But I praise God you arrowes hit not mee for you shot far wide for God he hath given me that knowledge for to be as humble as a Lamb and that valour and courage for to be as bould as a Lyon and now ye black birds which cry out so loud in your black coats I must tell you plainly you shall be all forced for to change your notes for you are not able for to make a cleere destinction betweene God and the devill for to say nor yet to sing and yet will you be so bould for to stir up War and strife between the Parliament my King but Mr. black coat you are a man of War so am I and therefore pray let you and I the battell try for by the power of God I will boldly say as it is written in the cha 8. of the Rom. the 15. v. I have not received the spirit of bondage again to feare but I have received the spirit of adoption and now by the help of God I shall prove in briefe that the spirit of adoption doth signifie Christ and the Gospel but the spirit of bondage that doth signifie the Devill and the old law my first proofe is in the second chapter to the Hebrewes and the fourteene verse for as the children were made partakers of flesh and blood Christ likewise took part of the same that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death and that is the Devil and so deliver those who through feare of death were all there life time subject to bondage This place of Scripture doth plainly prove and signifie that all those people that were under the old law they were under a yoke of bondage untill Christ freed them by his suffering on the crosse again in the seven chapter to the Romanes and the sixe vers Now we are delivered from the Law that being dead wherein we were held as held under the chaines and bondage of Sathan that we should serve in newnesse of spirit and not in the oldnesse of the letter that in the newnesse of the Gospel and not in the oldnesse of the Law and thus I have proved in briefe that the old Law is the spirit of bondage and so is the Devill but ye black coats you do say that Christ hath redeemed us from the ceremoniall Law and for the Iudiacall Leviticall Law and so by your cunning craft you doe divide the old Law into many parts
