And the MARKS of the False Church or Whore that brings forth by an Evil Seed the Cursed Birth that never could please God Signified by a Voice from the Word of Life or a Certain Sound of the Trumpet that hath awakened Thousands that were asleep in the Night of thick Darkness and Apostacy who are come to the Judgment of the Truth that redeems out of BABYLON and brings to SION By which all are Summoned that are yet afar off to appear before and stand to the Judgment of the Ingrafted Word in their Hearts that by it they may know What they are joyned to By Morgan Watkins What know ye not that he which is joyned to an Harlot is one Body for two saith he shall be one Flesh But he that is joyned unto the Lord is one Spirit 1 Cor. 6.16 17. Printed in the Year 1675. The MARKS of the TRVE CHVRCH the Virgin and Spouse of Christ that brings forth by a Holy Seed the Birth that pleaseth God I. THey are such who are turned from Darkness unto Christ the true Light that shines in their Hearts who believe and walk in it and are turned from the Power of Satan unto the Power of God that they receive in Christ the Light to become his Sons having Redemption through his Blood the Forgiveness of Sin and Sanctification in and by that Life that is the Light of Men and made Partakers of the Inheritance of the Saints in Light II. Such who have received the Word in a Measure that spake in the Prophets by which they prophesied and was their Foundation which the Apostles were Ministers and Preachers of and was their Foundation which they turned the People to and they that believed it was their Foundation and they that believe and have received the Truth now it is their Foundation and the Rock in all Ages For other Foundation can no Man lay then that is laid which is Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 3.11 God's Foundation that he hath laid for the Salvation of every Man which is the Word grafted in them that is able to save the Souls of all that receive it Jam. 1.21 But they that reject it perish and are but the Chaff that the Wind blows to and fro III. Such who are in the Unity of the Spirit of Truth and the Righteousness which is of Faith that saith The Word is nigh thee in thy Mouth and in thy Heart that is the Word of Faith that Faith comes by the Hearing of and the Word which the Apostles preached Rom. 10.6 8. IV. Unfeigned Love to God and to the Brethren By this shall all Men know saith Christ that ye are my Disciples if ye have Love one to another John 13 35. V. Such who are born again of Incorruptible Seed by the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever 1 Pet. 1.23 And are renewed in the Spirit of their Minds being by one Spirit all baptized into one Body and have been all made to drink into one Spirit by which they are quickned into one Life which is the Flesh and Blood of Christ that comes down from Heaven the Children's Bread as Christ saith He that eateth me even he shall live by me John 6.57 And this is the Life that brings forth Fruit of Righteousness and Birth of God that overcomes the World and is made manifest to that of God in every Man's Conscience VI. Such who make a good Confession by giving up themselves to suffer for the Righteousness sake of the Kingdom of God and do not deny him before Men by a subjecting to their Wills against the Requirings of the Spirit of God but are made willing to drink of the Cup and be baptized with the Baptism their Lord and Master was baptized with patiently taking up his Cross contentedly bearing his Reproach and continuing faithful to the Death VII Humility and self Denyal hating Covetousness Pricle and the Pomp vain Glory and Honour of this World having the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ without Respect of Persons Not having Mens Persons in Admiration because of Advantage but doing Good unto all especially to the Houshould of Faith Visiting the Sick and Imprisoned for Righteousness sake the Fatherless and Widdows in their Affliction keeping themselves unsported from the World Jam. 1.27 VIII Such who are Witnesses of the Spirit 's Confession that Christ is come in the Flesh and hath condemned Sin in it in the Hour of his Judgment that the Body of Sin might be destroyed by him that is come and received To take away the Sin and bring in the perfect Righteousness that being crucified with him and so suffering with him in the Flesh dying with him that is by the Strength of his Power that overcomes Sin and Death we come to be raised up with him by the Power that raised him up and so come to live to God by him and in him and no more to the Lusts of the Flesh but to the Obedience of the Spirit and Power that gives us Victory over Death and raiseth the Soul to Life by the quickning Spirit that gives us a Will Desire Hunger Power and Strength to live to the Good Will and Pleasure of our unutterable good and gracious God of whose Mercy and Goodness some feel more then Tongue of Man can declare and God is Witness such would that all Men might feel the same and God is hastening his Work that Thousands of Thousands may feel it and sing of it in the Glory of his Presence for evermore Amen IX Such who in their Measures witness the Reign of Sin and Death put down in them with all its great Power and Authority by which it reigned from Adam until Moses and doth still in all that have not received the free Gift of Righteousness in which is God's Power revealed and such are pleading for the Reign and Law of Sin and for the Body of Sin to live in them till they dye because they are under its Reign But as I have said The Members of the True Church witness him come whose Right it is to reign in them who having received him the Gift of God hath and is putting down all Authority and all Rule that is not of God nor ought to reign and rule in Man so casts out the Strong Man and spoils all his Goods And these know him in them mark that greater then he that is in the World who hath cast out the Prince of the World and reigns over Death and Hell And these are not looking for the Kingdom of Heaven to come with Outward Observations as the Hypocrites did of old and still do who look for the Reign of a Person without them and know not that Hell and Death reigns in them which some of late did know to their Sorrow that others might be warned who see not him that is invisible to the Carnal Eye

and so calling upon the Name of the Lord whom they serve and obey he answereth them and gives them more Grace more Strength more Power to rule over much because they are faithful in a little and this is the profiting by the Gift the Manifestation of the Spirit that is given to every Man to profit withal without which there is no profiting nor pleasing God And this Ministry that comes in the Name of the Lord but few will hear because he comes with the Sword of the Spirit to slay that Life that lives in the fleshly Lusts that wars against the Soul but they that do hear him that comes in the Name of the Lord they do hear the Lord who saith Hear and your Souls shall live that is who do obey the Voice of the Lord they receive Power to become the Sons of God but he that is not sent of God may have the Words but not having received the Word hath but his Dream and the Words to tell who comes in his own Name that is his own Power and Wisdom and the People being in the same hear him and receive his Doctrine because he spares their Life of Pleasure in the Flesh and makes them believe they shall receive a Life of Glory after Death and that is his Dream he tells for Money and so deceives the Soul and keeps it in Death serving the Lust and so the Sin yet perswading themselves by the Help of the Hireling that they serve the Lord But no Man saith Chrst can serve two Masters especially whose Wayes are so contrary one to the other and so being taught to confess him in Words but deny him in Deeds drawing nigh with their Mouthes but the Heart is after other Lovers these having at most but a Form of Godliness but denying the Power thereof These the Children of Truth deny and turn from therefore are hated and persecuted by them whose false Religion they deny who themselves shew it to be false by their persecuting Spirit that is of Cain for Cain's Spirit can bring forth no other but Cain's Religion that ist a Worship and Sacrifice that is out of the Truth that can never please God nor ever will but it ever pleased most Men and so it doth now but we can say The Lord forgive them they know not what they do and so we must drink of our Master's Cup and be baptized with his Sufferings and so suffering with him shall reign with him World without End Amen The MARKS of the FALSE CHVRCH or Whore that brings forth by an Evil Seed the cursed Birth that never could please God I. SHE is made up of such Members who walk in Darkness and love Darkness rather then Light because their Deeds are Evil For every one that doth Evil hateth the Light neither cometh to the Light Joh. 3.20 Therefore it is clear they that walk in Darkness are Evil-doers and Evil-doers are the Members of the false Church or Whore For if any that walk in Darkness say they are Members of the Church of Christ and have not Fellowship with him they lye and do not the Truth 1 John 1.6 And so all that cannot witness in Measure Darkness to be past are still in it and Children of it II. Such who have not received the Word grafted in them yet are professing the Words but will not come to the Word of Eternal Life that gave forth the Words and being astray from that Err not knowing the Scripture nor the Power of God being out of the Faith of God's Elect that overcomes the Word which Christ the Word is the Author and Finisher of and is a Mystery held in a pure Conscience and whosoever hath not this Faith the Gates of Hell will prevail against him and his House not being built upon this Rock Christ the Word of Life in the Day of Tryal will be overturned and great will be the Fall thereof but the Foundation of God for Salvation standeth sure that is the Ingrafted Word that is able to save the Soul that dwelt richly in the Children of God in all Ages and also in this Age who were the Houshould of Faith Members of the Church in God III. To be of a Faith or Belief that is not in the Unity of the Spirit of Life but of that which Man is Author and Finisher of which he hath made and formed in the House of his Imaginary of the Words and Confessions of the Saints in Light and Children of God that were in the Faith of that they confessed and witnessed and so in the Mystery that they which have only the Words of the History cannot see nor doth that reveal it to them IV. Professing Obedience to God and Christ in Words but living in the Disobedience of his Spirit and so in Works deny him doing the Things they ought not to do and leaving the Things undone that they ought to do these love not our Lord Jesus Christ but are in the World's Love which is selfish and Enmity to God from whence proceed the Lusts that war in the Members the Fruits of the Flesh and being in the Flesh cannot please God V. Are such whose Head is a visible Man without them who takes in and puts out in his own Will and Pleasure these chuse rather to obey Man then God and cannot suffer for Righteousness sake because their Head is not Christ the Righteousness of God VI. Such in whom the Unregenerate Nature bears Rule and the Seed of the Serpent is Head and the Government of Christ is not set up within but Death through the Lusts reigns and captivates the Soul under it that it lives not to God nor brings forth Fruit of Righteousness but is the Tree that cumbreth the Ground that will be hewn down and cast into the Fire VII Are such whose Weapons of their Warfare are not Spiritual but Carnal therefore the strong Holds of Satan are standing in them who are Aliens and Strangers from the New Covenant in which is no Fighter Killer Murtherer nor Envious Wicked Person but the New Creation is witnessed in which dwelleth Righteousness the Sword turned into a Plow-share and the Spear into a pruning Hook where War is learn'd no more VIII Such who despise and neglect the Gift of God the Light that shines in their Hearts the Manifestation of the Spirit that is given to every Man to profit withal without which none can please God nor worship him as I have said but are unprofitable Servants out of the Way of God in their own Way the Way of Sinners out of the Counsel of God's Spirit in the Counsel of the Ungodly Spirit out of the Way of Light Life in the Way of Death and Darkness dead to God but alive to the World and in the Wickedness thereof IX Such who are not turned to the Spirit of Truth in which God is worshipped cannot worship him but as Christ said Ye worship ye know not what such Worshippers are all that are astray
