Priest Hill THou who professes thy self to be a Minister of Christ thou art found to be an Antichrist and a false Prophet and art a a raging wave of the Sea foaming out thy own shame as those spoken of in Jude 13. And thy fruits also maketh thee manifest and thy folly and ignorance were abundantly discovered and made manifest at the Meeting at Twycrosse on the second day of the week and the 9. day of the 8. month and could give no account at all of any thing of the working of God by Inward Experience for when I propounded a Question to thee and asked thee concerning passing from death unto life thou could tell nothing of it at all and because it is said that death reigned from Adam untill Moses over all those that sinned not after the similitude of Adams transgression and the Law and the Prophets are till Iohn and Iohn he came and doth come burning and shining amongst those that were born of women was not a greater than Iohn yet he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he as it is written I then asked thee how thou couldst give account of those Ministrations in the inward man and thy passage in the inward Ministration through death and withall I asked thee what death had reigned over in thee and thou could not tell I also asked thee how it was with thee In deaths reign and how thou came thorough the Ministration of condemnation and to know the Law and the Prophets fulfilled in thee and to what and how thou came to Iohns Ministration to know the fallow ground ript up in thee and the Ax laid to the root of the tree what the Tree and the Ax and the fallow Ground was and how the burnings and the shinings came and how that Ministration ceased and what succeeded and exceeded but thou could give no account of them and the● the devill in thee raged thou being in union with him fret and fumed and were like one of the Buls of Bashan that is spoken o● i● Scripture and I told thee thou ought to give me account with meeknesse and fear because it was required of thee so to do for the Minister of Christ saith Sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts and be ready alway s to give an Answer to every one that asketh with meeknesse and fear 1 Pet 3 15. But hou shewed ●hat thou knew not the fear of the Lord that were so fil●'d with rage fury m●●nesse mischief and wickednesse lying and false accusing of the just and could prove none of those things wherein thou so falsely accused the innocent Oh shame upon thee Priest Hill that art such a man of Beliall the Light of God in thy conscience will prick thee at thy heart for it and thy contrary acting to the Light and that light which sheweth thee sin and evill and checks and reproves thee in secret that Light will be thy eternall condemnation who hateth it and acteth contrary to it and the Light of God in thy conscience will witnesse for me and the Truth against thee and thy deceit in thy condemnation thou wilt know what I say Oh shame let shame cover thy lips who hateth ●he Light and acteth so contrary to it and all that fe●●s God that knoweth thee may cry shame of ●hee for ever thou enemy of all righteousnesse and child of the devill who preaches up sin and a continuance in it to uphold the devils kingdome and so perverts the right wayes of the Lord as thou dost tha● Scripture which thou brought in the Acts shall stand for thy elf for when I charged thee to prove me to be that which thou accused sme of thou could not But I shall prove thee to be a lyar and a false Prophet as I said and so make it good and prove it both by thy fruits and also by Scripture to confirm the same as I said First when I asked thee if thou did not preach for hire thou denied it openly and before the people and said thou did not Preach for hire Then secondly I asked if ther were none present there that could witness against thee in that thing to prove thee 2 lyar whereupon in that place witnesse came against thee and proved thee a lyar before thy face and lying is of the devill Iohn 8.44 And all ly●rs are for ●he Lake Read thy Reward thou lyar and child of the Devill Rev. 22.15 Rev. 21. ● and 27. Then when thou was proved an open lyar in that thing thou proceeded further to manifest thy lyes and said thou did not preach for hire thou preached for souls and when it was asked thee and Priest Whetstone both of you what the Soul was thou answered positively and said No man living could tell what the soul was whereupon I there proved thee a lyar in that thing and withall I asked thee and you both what you did minister unto and watch over that knew not the soul therein thou and he both did discover your selves to be no Ministers of Christ nor the Gospel for the Ministers of Christ in the New Covenant did an doth watch for the Souls as they that must give an

Ministers of the Letter and no Ministers of Christ nor the Gospel nor the Spirit therefore did I ask him and thee both of you a Question concerning the Ministery in the Spi●it that it migh be made manifest to others th●t he nor thou neither of you was no Ministers of the Spirit for I asked him as well as thee how he could give account of the inward Ministration and what death had reigned over in him and how he came to the Law hrough the Prophets know J●hn in burnings to come burning shining what succeeded exceeded ●hat it he w●re a Minister of the Spirit he might give account of the passing from death unto life and to speak in the Ministery of the Spirit but neither he nor thou could answer to that nor give account of any thing at all concerning those Ministrations Then I begun to declare against your igno●ance to the people and to lay open your deceits and that Priest Bennet he b●lld ●nd ●●ared like a mad Bull and whouted like a Ran●ier or a Hun e● least the people should hear your deceits laid open but you are made manifest On ●hame ●hame let shame strike you in ●h ●aces and cover your lips and st●p your mouthes for ever ma ing a pro●ession of G●● o● Christ more in that nature who are desperately wicked and Th●●●s Cocke●am and all that have a desire to fear God be you ashamed of ●he ●●es carriages and actions of those wicked Priests that were so fi●hy and wicked and take heed how you hold them up I warn you and ch●rg● you in the presence of the Lord as you will answer it before the judgement seat of Christ lest you be partaker of th●● plagues and the curse of God come upon you for it Rev. 18. To the light of Christ Jesus in all your consciences I speak that with it your mindes may be turned within to see into your own hearts and see if ever you get benefited any thing by them at all that will stand you in stead in the day of tryall no nor never shall benefit by them nor none in their nature who are out of the light and out of the truth as they are hear them not not ho●d them not up as you will answer it for the Lord is against them and all such as ●hey are and their blessing is accursed like those Priests spoken of in Mal. 2.1 2.3 to the 10. And the Lord will make them contemptible in the eyes of all his people And was he not blinde You might see their basenesse as it were manifested that day and if the blinde lead the blinde shall not both fall into the ditch Mat. 15.14 Now say not but that you are warned in your life time for to the light of God in all your consciences shall I be witnessed in the terrible day of the Lord to whom my testimony was declared that day as the book of conscience is opened and Cockeram to the light of God in thy conscience I speak that which sheweth thee sin and evill and checks and reproves thee in secret and lets thee see when thou dost amisse and acteth contrary to it that with the light of God in thy conscience thy minde may be turned towards God from whence the light comes in it to wait for teaching and deny those Priests and blinde guides for all the children of ●he Lord shall be taught of the Lord as he hath promised Isa 54.13 14. Jer. 31.31 to the 3.5 Ezek. 34.11 12 to the 17. John 6 45. Heb. 8 10 11. John 1.9 John 8.12 Now if thou love that light which sheweth thee sin and evill and reproveth thee in secret there is thy teacher that light loving it and obeying it there is thy condemnation for ever that light hating it and disobeying it John 3.19 20. Now thou hast time prize it and take heed who thou entertaineth in thy house such a proud foolish wilde wanton heedy high-minded scornfull and disdainfull one in thy house under the name or pro●ession of a Minister of Christ as that Redheaded fellow the young Priest is who hath not so much as a form of godlinesse therefore not the power and if thou and the rest were not very dark and blinde in the things of God thou and all the rest might see that Houldershaw nor Bennet nor none in their nature who are of the seed of the serpent as they are do neither follow Jesus Christ nor his true Ministers for their example as their fruits maketh them manifest and they doe not abide in the Doctrine of Christ therefore have they not God but are the false Prophets seducers and antichrists hold them not up for God is against them and all such are by Believers and the children of the light to be denyed therefore receive not such into thy house under that pretence which thou receiveth them neither bid them God speed lest thou be made partaker of their evil deeds 2 John 9 10 11. Now thou art warned and to the light of God in thy conscience am I made manifest yet shut up from thy dark minde for light shineth in darknesse but darknesse comprehendeth it not as it is written and witnessed John 1.5 Now I shall prove them two Priests Bennet and Houldershaw and all in their nature who are out of the light and out of the truth as they are to be no Gospel Ministers but false prophets as their fruits maketh them manifest and the Scriptures they witnesse against them for saith Iesus Christ false prophets shall come but by their fruits shall ye know them for they say and do not and are workers of iniquity and are cursed therefore must they depart from him as he hath said and as it is written and witnessed Math. 7.15 16 20 23. Do they not say that they are Ministers of Christ and do they not say that Christ hath sent them c. But they have no authority from Christ neither are they approved of by him who do neither abide in his Doctrine nor follow him for their example therefore are they false prophets that say and doe not they say that they are sent of Christ but they do not abide in his Doctrine neither do they follow him for their example and he that saith he is in Christ ought himself also to walk even as he walked as it is written and witnessed 1 Iohn 2.4 5 6. But Priest Houldershaw and Priest Bennet and all the Priests of the world and Ministers of man walk contrary to Christ and do no not abide in his Doctrine as their fruits maketh them manfest c. For Christ was never proud neither had he any mans person in admiration because of advantage but the Priests of the world or Ministers of man they respect rich men for their riches and disrespect poor men for their poverty and have great mens person in admiration because of advantage that they also may be great in the earth and be called
