and dancings you are such that live in the flesh without the fear of God you are inventing with that minde which goes from the light and with the light you are to be condemned from God who lives in the lusts of the flesh and these actions of the flesh And ye that delight in songs in tunes and jesting books and ballads rhimes themes inventing verses you are in the fables you are such as the Scriptures speaks of acting in that nature which is out of the truth which with the light all such works of the flesh are to be condemned this will wither this will fade away and pass away And all you that follow horse-racing you are in the boasting you are idolaters and adulterers and you are covetous you are they that oppose the creation you are chalenging and envying when you cannot get your will and when you have your will this is in Cain's way which is for condemnation who walks in the way which is ungodly Ye that follow merchandize buyes and sells and makes a trade of it and buy the creature at one towne and sells them at another market It 's naught it 's naught you say when you come to buy and They are bad they are bad and when you have bought them then They are the best in the market and then you set up that which you said was nought So with the light which shews your lying your deceit your false-hearts are you with it to be condemned who lives in these customes of sin which hath taken away the sence you are in the thievish nature that do so that buy and sell the creatures to oppress them and say it is naught for your own ends and then say it is good for your own ends To the light in all your consciences I speak which will witness me and will let you see what dissemblers you are and how far you are out of the doctrine of Christ which is yea and nay in all communication who when you come to cheap a thing or buy a thing you say You will give no more for it not a peny and the seller saith likewise the same he saith No be will not take a penny less then they presently yeild one to another out of the yea and nay to be and with the light which bring to yea and nay to be condemned to it I speak and it shall witness me against all the deceits of the world and all deceitful merchandise who act without the fear of God And all you that follow feastings and weddings your Priests acted in that nature out of the light with the light is to be condemned

images is to be condemned and ye that are turned from the light of Christ which is eternal that minde invents crosses forms a cross imitates a cross which dwelling in the light it self is a cross to the ground which forms these crosses and to you this is the word of God And so here both the image and the image-maker and the founder of the image dwelling in this cross must be destroyed Good and bad manners distinguished COrrupt communications corrupts the good manners Now if you love the light which Christ hath enlightned you withal it will bring you to yea and nay in all your communications for whatsoever is more is evil And you that turn from this light which Christ hath enlightned you withal then in your communications ye are not yea and nay and so you are in the evil and out of the doctrine of Christ and so in that nature you may be taught to bend to bow to cringe one to another with cap and knee and hand and foot and so calls that civil and and good manners and he that doth not
