A51123	Antichrist unvailed by the finger of Gods power and his visage discovered by the light of Christ Jesus, and his ministers, members, works, and lying wonders, manifested by the spirit of God, a manifestation whereof is given to every man (and woman) to profit withal : with friendly and serious invitations, exhortations, and warnings to all professors of Christianity, to beware of that antichristian spirit that leadeth to destruction, and of those teachers, who are influenced by it / written in the love of God by a prisoner (at Lancaster castle) for the testimony of truth, and one of the people called (in scorn) Quakers, Henry Mollineux.

3. the Doctrine of Devils And they seem to imitate the Jews in taking Tythes now Tythes were given to the Tribe of Levi Numb 18.20 to 38. Deut. 14.22 to 29. Neh. 10.37 38. of which the Priests as Aaron and his Sons c. were and the Priests were to have a Tenth Part of the Tythes and the rest was for the Portion of the other Levites having none other Inheritance and for the Fatherless and Widows and Strangers But now the Priests Challenge the whole Tythes which may be as much as a Sixth Part of the clear Profits all to themselves and would rather have more than let either Levite or Fatherless or Widow have part with them for when a Widow hath her Husband taken from her by Death then presently the Priest or his Tythe-farmer or Servant cometh to threaten the Widow if she be not free to pay for a Mortuary as they call it what Children soever she have to maintain if all her Husbands Goods but amount to 6 l. 6 s. 8 d. though perhaps the Priest's Income amount to an Hundred times so much for one Year And their Mortuaries so called in the very Midnight caused by the prevailing Power of Darkness in the Apostacy and Popery were invented for pay for Prayers for the Dead to bring their Souls out of Purgatory as the Pope and Priests that had terrified poor People with a Dream of Purgatory after Death told and preached to People and that the Soul of the Dead might share in the Stock of Merits that they pretended they had to Sell to them who came with Money to buy And now those Priests that pretend Reformation from Popery and deny to pray for the Dead are not ashamed to Claim Mortuaries the Wages of Prayers for the Dead And Mortuaries and Pigs and other things they have annexed to their Tythes and so now the Priests exceed all the whole Tribe of Levi for Tythes though a Tenth Part of their Tythes given by the Law of Moses sufficed the Jewish Priests who were part of the Tribe of Levi but now under the Gospel Dispensation Christ Jesus Heb. 7. Heb. 8. Heb. 9. Heb. 10. who came of the Tribe of Judah is become the High-Priest for ever who by Offering up himself once for all hath changed the Levitical Priesthood and the Law that gave Tythes and hath established his Law of the New Covenant written in the Heart and his Everlasting Priesthood which is inwardly to be witnessed by true Christians But the Ceremony-preachers imitate the Jews and Heathens nearer in their Swearing and pleading for Swearing upon a Book which is Swearing by a Sign a Jewish or Heathenish Custom and contrary to the Command of Christ and his Apostle And likewise they imitate the Heathens in keeping and using their Names of Days and Months who were Idolaters and adored divers Idols and approprated Seven of them unto the Seven Days of the Week and worshipped each Idol on the appointed Day On the First Day of the Week See Versti●an's Antiquities and Cambden's Brit. the old Saxon Heathens whom Records mention to have been the first that brought in those Names they worshipped the Idol of the Sun which was placed in a Temple and there Sacrificed unto to the Adoration whereof they gave to that Day the Name of Sunday likewise on the Second Day of the Week they worshipped their Idol of the Moon and from thence it retaineth the Name of Monday or Moonday and the Third Day of the Week they Dedicated to the Worship of an Idol called Tuisco and the Fourth for an Idol called Wooden and the Fifth to an Idol called Thor and the Sixth to an Idol called Friga and the Seventh Day of the Week to an Idol called Seator and from thence came the Names of Tuesday Wodensday or Wednesday Thorsday Friday and Saturday so they may see from whence those Names of the Days came And also the Heathens named the Months thus they called the first Month Maron from Mars whom they called the God of Battel and the second Month called they April from a Title of Venus whom they called the Goddess of Love and Beauty and they called the Third Month May from Maia otherwise called Flora who was a Strumpet in Rome and on the first Day of that Month she set up a Pole before her Door to allure her Lovers and thence came the Name of May-pole and they called the Fourth Month June from Juno whom they called the Goddess of Wealth and the fifth and sixth Months they called July and August in Honour to Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar two Roman Emperors and four of the other Months retain their proper Names after the Latines as September October November and December but the Eleventh Month they called January from Janus a King of Italy who for his Wisdom they pictured with two Faces and honoured him as a God and they called the Twelfth Month February from Februnus otherwise called Pluto whom they called the God of Hell and so they may see how their Names of the Months and Days came from the Heathens And in as much as the People of God the Jews under the Law were strictly commanded to make no mention of the Names of other Gods Exod. 23.13 nor let it be heard out of their Months Psal 15.4 and David in obedience thereunto said That he would not take their Names into his Lips therefore Christians being Jews inwardly ought not to use such Names who are under a more glorious Dispensation than the outward Jews were for how can they truly claim the Name of Christians who call the Days and Months that God hath given them wherein they ought to serve him by the Prophane Names of the Heathenish False Gods and Idols And so the Preachers up of Ceremonies and Ordinances of Men may see how they imitate the Jews and Heathens and therefore it is to no purpose for them to use or plead for their Ceremonies as necessary to distinguish them from Jews and Heathens Now as the Man of Sin after the working of Satan cometh with all Power and Signs and lying Wonders and so prevaileth upon People who may profess Christianity by his dark Power to disobey the light of Christ in their Hearts so People come to be by degrees darkned and blinded in their Minds and their Senses come to be so stupified that they more and more depend upon their Teachers though they be as blind and stupid as themselves and after their Doctrines depend upon their Signs and Ceremonies which they receive as Ordinances of Christ but know not neither truly seek to know the Substance Christ Jesus whose Religion they profess but are out of as indeed all are though they may profess the Truth as it is in Jesus who disobey the light and walk not after the Spirit of Christ though they talk never so much of it but walk after the Flesh And because many that pretend Reformation from Popery the Nest of
