an ear to hear let him hear and he that understandeth not nor knoweth this is yet under his own hour and power of darknesse Understand therefore that the manifestation of the will of God is in and through the Light wherewith you are lightned which cometh from Christ the true light of the world which lightneth every man that cometh into the world unto which Light in all your consciences your minds must be subject you must wait upon God with your minds in the Light your hearts turned to it that you may witnesse the power of it ruling and reigning in you and working through every Member of your mortal bodies bringing your wils under it and subduing and subjecting your affections to it this is the true Crosse of Christ Jesus to take up the Crosse and to walk in Crosse unto your wills and affections which take up Images and take delight and pleasure in Pictures and imaginary likenesses of the Crosse of Christ Jesus and to walk as quickned Members in crosse to your whole life as it now stands in the nature and lust of uncleanness sin and death in the enmity to the Life and power of God and mystery of Godlinesse in crosse to your foolish airy childish vanities of Beads Bracelets and other Traditional Superstitions and Idolatries which things are but the signification of folly and childishnesse in the first nature which receiveth not the knowledge nor things of God the Light also wherewith you are lightned Eph 5.4 must guide your minds and stay your hearts and thoughts upon God and lead you also in crosse unto the Lightness and wickedness of your lives which stand in the pleasure of vain jesting and idle foolish talking Rom. 13 13. in surfeiting and drunkennesse in chambering and wantonnesse strife and envying in the ground of all manner of sin iniquity and mischief which produces and yields the fruits of lying swearing pride covetousness cheating and defrauding adulteries and whoredomes dissimulation robberies and desperate murders even in that evill and cursed ground where man is droven from the presence of God under the power of the agreement of Hell and death alienated and estranged from the Covenant of Life yoaked under blindness and chayned with the blackness of darkness shut out of the Garden of pleasure and Paradice of God where nothing can restore the losse which came by transgression but the power of the Cross of Christ Jesus which worketh death to the disobedient and carnall There is none other entrance now unto the tree of Life which he that eateth not thereof dyeth in and perisheth unto everlasting death but through the flaming sword which is set at Edens gates Gen 3.24 to keep the way of the Tree life Can your eye read or your ear hear for your hearts to receive this ye vain scoffers at the Saints entrance into the holy City and Paradise of God You are witnesses to your selves that your Inheritance is not in the Kingdome of Heaven which is like unto a grain of Mustard-seed Math 13.31 which also is likened unto an Onion seed whose perfect fruit being taken out of the natural earth yet quickly perisheth not but prospereth yielding growth from the body of the root more than all roots of the earth This is the work of Life the Cross which neither is likeness imitation nor Image of the things or nature of death but the mighty power of God which bringeth death unto death which hath passed over all men Rom 5.10 12. and reigneth over all men from Adam unto Moses even over all that have sinned who have not known Moses although their sin hath not been after the similitude of Adams transgression from lost Adam therefore unto Moses you must come to witness an entrance into Moses his house in whom was revealed the hope of the promise that should come to passe which also is come in power Rom 8.4 in the substance to them In whom the righteousnesse of the Law is fulfilled who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit who have seen the Prophets day and are come through the work of Johns cry in the wilderness Math 3.3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. who are no more of the flesh as in the flesh working the works of the flesh but through the death of the Crosse are buried in the separation from the worships words and works of the first nature risen and born unto Life unto the inheritance of Redemption and Justification into the unchangeable Kingdome of the word of the Covenant where he that is least is greater then John the Baptist Math 11.11 who was the greatest Prophet borne of women and thus being passed and translated from death to life not as any longer under the power of sin are partakers of the Elements or subject unto the carnall Ordinances are altogether under and one with the power of the ministration of life in the communion of the Eternall body of the Lord and from your superstitions and Images and nature of iniquitie and transgression by the power of the Crosse of Christ Jesus ye must be changed through obedience to the motions of the Light in all your consciences into the Image of the glory of the second Adam who is the Lord from Heaven if ever ye shall come to witnesse a hope which will not wither to be Joyned unto the heireship of the promise of the Inheritance of the kingdome which Covenant was made only with Abraham and with the seed of Abraham born of the free-Woman Gen 22.16 which by the one Everlasting Oath of God is confirmed unto all that by the blood of sprinkling are entered into the City Heb 12.22 Rev 22.15 where not any thing that is defiled can come for without is the curse even over as many as stand in the ground without the compasse of the fence of the Paradice of God where are dogs and sorcerers and whore-mongers and murderers and Idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lye Repent Repent therefore the mighty day of the Lord God is at hand wherein he will sift the Nations as with the five of equitie and fanne the Inhabitants of the earth with the winde of his wrath and through all Nations will make an equall separation in Righteousnesse the Chaffe from the Wheate the Drosse and Reprobate from the refined Silver the just from the vile him that feareth God from him that feareth him not A day of woe to the wicked and of vengeance to the workers of iniquitie in which cometh to passe the Revelation of the Wrath and Indignation of God which is even ready to be revealed in flames of burning fire against all the ungodly A day of howling to the sonnes of Sodome and of everlasting lamentation to the daughters of Gomorrha Strength shall not defend you nor Art deliver you where then will you run for a refuge ye want the wings of the Sunne of the Morning to fly unto the ends of the earth

the word of the Lord upon the Mount of the Lord in the face of all the Nations of the earth Oh people let this be a testimony unto you either for you or against you that either your Priests and Prophets have deceived you in prophecying and declaring smooth things unto you or that they have alwayes taught you Righteousnesse and instructed you in the Everlasting Precepts of the undefiled and un-erring path of truth and holinesse Heare therefore this ye Priests and give eare ye Teachers of the people hide not hide not your faces but come forth come forth that we may try the feeding of your Pastures that the blinde may feele with what they are laden Have not they given a price for wheate and have not you laden them with the stubble of the reaped and gleaned fields and the chaffe of the wheate Was not the price of their money for the cleare running water of the Rock and have not ye fill'd their vessells with the setled lees of your own Cisterns Behold I have seen the deep workes of your hands even the deep wells which ye have digged with your own hands and the breadth length heighth and depth thereof I have measured and the foundations thereof I have discovered You Doctors of Athens Remember my rod which touched your bottome wherewith your dreggs were stirred up which cast a stinke in my nostrills at which time ye could scarce cover your loathsomnesse in the presence of your Disciples I have not forgotten the strength on which you took hold which appeared and proved as a ravelled String of a broken Bow which could not carry forth so as to send home the shaft You aymed at my birth to have trodden upon the simplicitie and tendernesse of my youth yet could not your broken speares reach to the hurt of my life Now therefore search ye further even unto the uttermost end of the Records of your Books to finde out the first day of my life which although I am after the account of the manner of men but as a seed of the second or third generation of this age brought forth yet never the lesser is mine age in a just account more ancient and honourable then the dayes of your birth your age must yet be borne unto Infancy if ever you come to the possession of the promise of Gods Everlasting kingdome and the glory of your Antiquitie must come unto great contempt and your eyes and your hearts which have boasted in vanitie must passe through the flames of the consuming fire of Gods Jealousie before ye shall enter the Paradise which you made a mock of in ignorance and so bare witnesse unto the curse of your kingdome as a people remaining in the ground where blessing hath not raised the encrease of the earth Furthermore heare this ye Priests Teachers and Instructers of the people The cry of the earth is grievous in the eare of the Lord against you blood hath touched blood in your Lands the soules of the simple have uttered their groanes through the crevisses of the graves the slaughters in your Cities and the murders in your streets the blood which plague hath devoured and which famine and drought hath consumed even for these and more then these the earth lifts up her voyce against you Have not you cast away the bread and given stones to the children Have not you eaten the uncleane fish and spued out Serpents in the faces of the daughters Oh how many are the thousands of thousands whom you have caused to erre and which have perished through your lyes and lightnesse and will not God avenge himselfe on the heads of his enemies As ye have gloried in the dayes of your pleasure and made your selves fat with the joy of your laughter and wantonnesse even so shall Gods time of visitation be as a snare unto your life in unrighteousnesse even as a snare unto the Priest and a ginne unto the Prophets and as a trap and cleane Instrument to take hold of the heads of the Churches of your Nations yet shall it end as the houre of Everlasting mercies if ye Repent which if ye resist behold time shall not bring end to your torment when God shall stretch your bodyes upon the bed of endlesse trouble and misery A warning therefore and a word of Awakening even the utterance of life sounding through your black doores of the darknesse of death to you Priests Pope and Patriarke of the Lands who say that you sit in Peters seate to pardon the iniquities of the people and to forgive them their sinnes and to binde and to loose things answerable to your pleasures on earth saying that this is your Authoritie in the place and roome of the Disciples according to the Scriptures Joh 20.23 Math 16.19 It is not the seede nor the off-spring of your roote but the children of another generation which in the nature of the life of the holy Apostles are their true successors you are deceitfull hearts and wicked sinners you are men in the flesh and your bodyes are lumps of sinfull flesh your generation is of the wombe and seed of corruption and your life in the changable nature heare ye therefore God never gave his Everlasting Authoritie of Righteousnesse for the Remission of sinnes Joh 20.22 unto deceitfull hearts and sinners Christ breathed on his Disciples and gave them the Holy Ghost by which breath even by the vertue thereof and the power of the gift of the Holy Ghost their Authority stood in the worke and will of the Lord But Christ on you nor on your Pope or Patriarke hath not in this manner breathed nor in like manner filled either you or them with the Holy Ghost and therefore being without the true virtue and effectual authority you sit but as deceitful shadows and Images in your wicked wilful presumptuous resemblances making a reall mock of the true power and substance Oh how presumptuous are you in your abominable works of iniquity and as a people setled in the hardnesse of the ground of your fore-fathers Apostacy I have already shewed your root Dan 9.9 how in the degeneration you are departed from the Rock which in all ages was the ground of the forgivenesse of sins which unto the Lord only belongs Acts 5.31 and Christ only is this day the Prince and Saviour granting unto his people repentance salvation and forgivenesse of sins Eph 1.7 and this was Pauls testimony to the Ephesians In whom we have redemption through his blood Mark the order of Pauls witnesse the redemption through the washing of his blood goeth before the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace Read this ye people according to the riches of his grace how then is it of works or by the words of your sinfull Pope Patriarch and Priests and Teachers Seeing therefore ye have turned the riches of the grace of Christ Jesus into an abominable habit of blind shews of unrighteousnesse deluding the
