When any thing was revealed to him that sate by the first was to hold his peace and the other was to speak and all might speak one by one that all might be edified let that of Mary be put forth and put in one in order to this which was the practise of the Church of God that the deceivers may be laid open and made manifest what they are Act in righteousness that you may receive the blessing Take heed of holding up that which God is throwing down now he is making his power known casting down the mighty out of their Thrones and bringing down the haughtiness of men throwing down every high thought and every high Imagination Let such Laws be established as tend to the punishment of evil doers and countenancing those that do well and then you will see the Foxes and false Priests will be found out Let truth be declared freely by any one where it is made manifest Who art thou that wouldst limit the holy one of Israel by thy carnal mind What ever thou art God will limit thee and throw thee down out of thy Throne be what thou wilt But thou that lovest the truth and standest up for it as it is in Jesus thou shalt be Crowned with Glory Quest 1. Is it according either to Conscience or the Law of Equity and reason that theeves should make their prey of the Righteous Consider of it and lay it to heart 2. Is it according to Equity or the truth of God that any mans Conscience should be kept under a beastly corrupt mans will that swells in anger and if any go to ease his burdned Conscience to be beaten and set in the stocks and stoned in the streets is this according to the practise of the Ministers of Jesus Christ Let the Scriptures be your Rule and the Lord your judge and be not upholders of those deceivers for God will honor himself in throwing of them down 3. Is it according to the righteous Law of God or mans corrupt will that the righteous should suffer and the wicked go free and escape by lies and flatteries let every thing be brought to light and let the transgressors be punished and the Innocent cleared For God will be honored and he will not always strive he will reprove even Kings for his righteous childrens sake and he will take away the reproach of his people himself and no deceitfull person shall dwell in his house God is a Spirit and none knows him but such as are spiritual and born again and the righteous they suffer and no man layeth it to heart but God is judge himself and he will be avenged of all his Enemies 4. Is there are reason that we should pay or be compelled to pay for that which we have not is not this unrighteous They say they are Ministers and we do ask them what Scripture they have for their Rule to take tythe Hay or Corn tythe Lamb and Wooll tythe Eggs and money for Reak passing up our Chimnies and money for Mares and Foals and Kine and Calves and tythe Apples and Cherries and to have an end of all our labors we would have them to give account of their Ministry and how they came to be made Ministers of the Spirit and what Scripture they have for their Rule to take tythes and whether it were ever the practise of the Ministers of Christ yea or no who laboured with their hands and desired rather to dye then to make the Gospel burdensom that they might be examples to all that come after and they walking contrary to Christ and his Apostles have lost their examples and make the Parliament their spiritual sword and carnal bulwark for the account of their Ministry or ground of their Doctrine and say the Parliament do allow them and can no ways clear themselves by Scripture and we finding the Ministry of Christ to be a free Ministry and the Gospel not to be burdensom though they clear themselves to be the Ministers of man and not of God the Apostle was a Minister not made by the will of man but by the will of God and these walking contrary to the Ministers of Christ and contrary to the Scriptures and we never profited by them they starved our souls by their cold dark and barren Ministry of their own Inventions and they say that we would justle God out of his Throne but it is but the God of the World Mammon which they so much thirst after for it is the desire of our souls to see the onely true God to sit upon his Throne ruling by his power and every Spirit and as the Lord is large in his love to us though they call us Papists Quakers or what Nick-name they can invent and every way seek to cast dirt upon the pure Truth standing in opposition against the power of truth in any where it is made manifest as Jannes and Jambres did but their folly shall appear to all men as theirs did but we cannot in Conscience pay for that old rotten stuffe which runs out of their old bottels old corrupt natures which poureth forth nothing but corruption and bitterness as Railings and Revilings and cursed speakings speaking evil of that which they know not and because we cannot buy of their old stinking wares as we did formerly not questioning them took them for good upon their words but now the Fountain of their stinking puddle is made known and the Lord teacheth us better things we are ever bound to praise his name and we receive of his Love and spiritual teachings freely receiving and Grace for Grace growing up from Grace to Grace in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and as we have received freely we are made to hold it forth freely to others again not seeking our selves as they do but seeking the good and welfare of one anothers Souls by the power of the Lord as it ruleth in us running forth to seek the good of all and we cannot hold them up in their deceits and we cannot pay for that which we have not neither did we ever receive any spiritual food or refreshings from them we testifie against them as it is our bounden duty to let our light shine forth to others and though the proud Priests as in all that which they do it is for money which is their Diana and all that which they look after They do not seek us but ours And as we receive of the Lord freely we cannot but declare though they
