way for Grace and such like licentious and unwholsom Doctrines as I have heard thee speak seeing Jesus Christ is the way of Grace the high way of Holiness the strait and the narrow way wherein the unclean cannot walk therefore thou who art unclean hast also said that the Gift and Grace of God will not satisfie or Gifts and Graces out of Christ will not satisfie as I have heard thee speak seeing Christ is the Gift and Grace of God and out of him or beside him there is no Grace given to him is the Promise made in him dwells the fulness of the Godhead bodily and of his fulness have all we received Grace for grace which is sufficient by which Salvation comes and satisfaction in due time is made for and in all that hunger and thirst after him therefore thou that saidst The Gift and Grace of God will not satisfie art out of the truth never sent by Jesus Christ who hast preached another Gospel than what Christ himself hath Preached who said to his Disciples Except their Righteousness exceed the Righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees they should in no wise be saved but thou hast said Though we sin against the Lord and depart from him yet he loveth us and accepteth us in Christ let the mouth of the liar be stopped Doth not sin where it is not killed in the flesh and taken away by Jesus Christ yet separate between God and man in every particular as much as ever it did and is the cursed seed of the Serpent which is the evil doer that is born after the flesh in whom every man is whose image every man doth bear in whom every man is lost and is without help or hope till Christ the true light be received and so thereby his Image who is the image of God in the particular restored through the death of the mortal birth or body of sin I say is that seed and that nature wherein sin lives joyned unto Christ and so presented before God without fault doth God love the liar that must never enter or the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and idolators which shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone and hath no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God and knowest thou not that the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God Christ hath no communion with Belial that man of sin Christ w●ll destroy and not save and they that know not the body of sin in the particular by the cross slain and putting of they know not Christ put on in whom God is well pleased in him is his love placed and out of him God is not at all pleased and let shame cover thy face who art found a false witness that hath brought another Gospel contrary to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by whose light thou art seen and denied and thy spirit judged who through hypocrisie and deceit art glorying singing and boasting of Davids experiences amongst a people before thou or they are come to live Davids life and superstitiously art worshiping the unknown God in the idols Temple whereas the living and true God dwelleth not in Temples made with hands nei●her is worshipped with mens hands but they that worship him doth worship him in spirit and in truth God is worshipped in the truth where the Devil is not the false Prophet the liar and deceiver is not our God is worshipped in the spirit of life in the truth out of the Idols temple out of the Synagogues and Steeple houses which were made with mens hands even the bloudy hands of the Papists and are now the idols of the heathen who deny the light of Christ and therefore know not God but doth worship the Idols and call them Churches unto this day but they are dead images out of the spirit and out of the truth and they that build them and they that repairs them and worship in them are like unto them having ears and hear not eyes and see not and hearts but doth not understand Ah foolish man and unwise thy inscription is to the unknown God if thou hadst an eye to see thou mightst read it how thy worships stands in thy own will and thy own time out of God and his will and for thy own ends dost greatly dishonor the living and true God who is onely known and enjoyed in that truth and not at all known nor enjoyed in the ●doll nor found amongst Idolaters though they cut themselves and cry aloud yet there is no answer let that of God in thy conscience witness even the light of Christ which light doth condemne thee for taking of tythes and selling of tythes seeing that Christ hath changed the Priesthood and also changed the Law and is come the Mediator of a better Covenant even Christ the second Priest not made by the Law of a carnal Commandment but by the oath of God after the power of an endless life he is the resurrection and the life in which the second Priesthood stands which live of the Gospel which is the power of God the power of an endless life if thou hast an care to hear thou mayst hear I say the power of God which hath abolished the first Priesthood which could not continue by reason of death even Levi to whom tythes was paid a figure serving for the time then of Christ the second Priest which according to the flesh came of the Tribe of Judah which by the Law never received tythes of the tribe of Judah there is nothing spoken of Priesthood neither of tythes Now thou and all you Priests that by a carnal Commandment doth take tythes are not in the power of an endlesse life which is the power of the Gospel the second Priesthood the wisdom of God and power of God a Cross to the first Priesthood to tythes sacrifices and offerings and all things in the changeable in that that cannot continue by reason of death is all that that is out of the power of an endless life but now the first Priesthood that takes tythes and all that run for filthy lucre and preach for hire and divine for money are out of the power of an endless life all false teachers liars and deceivers that run before they are sent that use their tongues and saith the Lord saith when the Lord never spake to them are in the lusts of covetousness which is idolatry and are out of the power of an endless life therefore own shame upon thy head who takes tythes glebe-lands and such like gain thou seekest from thy quarters for telling of dreams false visions and lying divinations of thy own brain not according to the Oracles of God therefore thou couldst not say when in thy Steeple-house before thy Congregation I asked thee Whether thou didst own Jesus Christ to be thy only teacher guide and leader I say thou couldst not say he was but

after a little space thou wentst away but from the light of Christ thou canst not fly for there is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of iniquity can hide themselves and by the light which thou despisest art thou seen in the works of iniquity under death and after the shaddow thereof is thy heart and thoughts wandring and art not at all obedient to be taught lead and guided by Jesus Christ but art an envying as much as in thee lyes to the pure love of God and Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and so art out of the counsel of God which is known in the light to all them who are in the life which life condemns the world and all that which is of the world is with thee in the shadow of death there is the transgressor therefore own condemnation on the disobedient in whom the power of darkness rules and guides into error and deceit rebellion and diso bedience against the light of Christ and this by the Spirit of the living God is thy spirit words and ways seen and judged who are out of the light and by the light is condemned even in thy Conscience wherein this warning shall stand to be read of thee in secret A Warning to all scattered People that call themselves Protestants and Christians yet are out of the Faith and life of Christ in vain Traditions and dead Forms wherein the blind Guids are leading them into the Pit HEar all ye scattered People who are the inhabitants of Ollveston Elburton and Alveston and elsewhere who call your selves Christians because you think you have been Baptized into the Church of Christ by some that sprinkled your faces with water and cross you on the foreheads and tell you it was in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost which thing they say is Baptism and a seal of the Covenant and then after you must learn the English Creed and such like things and so they tell you That you are of the Protestant Religion and the Scripture they take to talk on and one day in seven you must come into the Steeple-house which they call the House of God or Church wherein you must hear and believe without contradiction that which they in the Week have gathered out of old Books which they find written in Hebrew Greek and Latin which they call the Original and what serves their turn out of English Books and Scriptures they put to it to make up about an hours discourse with their own imaginations inventions which they call the Word of God for which you must pay a large some of Money or Tythes or else much of their hours Discourse will be in railing against you though by them you have not been profited at all so they Lord over you and you call them Master and thus you spend your time and old age comes on and death draws nigh and you remain as void of true Faith and as ignorant of Christ and your own salvation as you were when you were first crost on the fore-heads and here thousands die and perish in their sins Therefore now all you who are yet alive in your sins walking in the vanity of your minds in the uncircumcision of the flesh and talk of God and Christ in your vain imaginations yet know no other Call to appear before the Lord than the voice of a B●ll which men hath hanged up in the head of your Idols house which sound reacheth but to the earthly image that deny the Call of Christ and doth not wait for revelation whereas none knows the Father but the Son and him to whom the Son reveals him but you all stand without the revelation and knowledge of the true God in the house of imagery the outward court the first tabernacle which is not measured nor purified but you are the Gentils that stands thereon not within the pure measure but are without the holy place worshiping every one his image in the abomination that maketh desolate and so you know not the way into the holy place but are without the pure life allienated in your minds by reason of wicked works Therefore be warned all you proud and wanton ones you foolish jesters vain talkers all you covetous and worldly minded ones whose hearts are departed from the Lord you are but as the stubble you scoffing scorning ones read your figure in the dust all you carnal minded the best of you is but as a bryar the most righteous is sharper than a thorney hedge you grow on the cursed ground which brings forth bryars and thorns whose end is to be burned the Light of Israel is as a flame and the Holy One as a fire which shall devour the bryars and thorns in one * day so verily all you people every one unless you receive Christ the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world you are no Christians Christ is not your head and you are not his members and you also shall die and perish in your sins A Warning to you Also a Declaration of the Light of Christ now appearing and working in every man even in the Conscience by which all men are left without excuse THere is no other name given under heaven whereby you may be saved but by Jesus Christ who is the light of the world a light shining in darkness but the darkness comprehends it not and this is the condemnation of the world that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather than light rather than Christ who is set for a light to the Gentils and for salvation to the ends of the earth for God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son into the world that the world through him might be saved he that believeth in him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already and the wrath of God abideth on him tribulation and wrath on every soul of man that doth evil he that doth evil hateth the light the true light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world is hated by the world the pearl of great price which is hid in the field the field is the World the World is set in mans heart there is the World of Faith nigh even in the heart this is the sure word of Prophesie unto which you would do well to take heed unto as unto a light shining in a dark place even in the heart of man which is in darkness turned away from God who is light and therefore cannot comprehend the light the light not shining out of darkness but in darkness under the earth under the world the day star not risen because the light is not loved the fear of the Lord is not known and none knows the Son of tighteousness risen in the heart but those that fear the Lord and all you that know not the fear of the Lord you are not come to the beginning of wisdom and you who are out

of the light doth not know the place of wisdom though death and destruction may have the same yet it is hid from the eyes of all living all that live out of the fear of the Lord yet notwithstanding unto man God saith Behold the fear of the Lord that is Wisdom and to depart from evil that is understanding Therefore every one both small and great to the voyce of Wisdom hearken at the posts of her gates wait even at the light of Christ in the Conscience which convinceth you of sin and discovers to you what is evil and out of the fear of the Lord and maketh manifest what is good and therein you will come to know the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdome and this I declare freely unto you is the grace of God which bringeth salvation that hath appeared to all men and it now teacheth to deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts and all that believe in it and are obedient to it doth receive the living power of God by which they live righteously soberly and godly in this present world For of a truth there is no other way by which you can escape the wrath of God and eternal destruction of your souls but only by receiving and owning the measure of light that comes from Jesus Christ the eternal Son of God the Mediator between God and man and then in the light you will come to know the word of Reconcilliation which none knows tell they receives Christ the light of the world he alone is the Word of God even the word of Reconciliation without which you are all eternally lost and are a far off from God while you are out of Christ and none comes unto him but them whom the Father draws therefore friends every one while it is called to day harden not your hearts against the drawings of God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of lights who desireth not the death of a Sinner but that you might return and live if you return return unto the Lord which none can come unto but by Christ who is the way the truth and the light and all that believe not in the light are out of the way even the way of the just that leadeth unto life and they are in the broad way that leadeth to destruction wherein all are that deny the light and they go astray from God in every thought word and work yet in this condition all men are left without excuse because that which may be known of God is manifested in man even the light of the Son of God hath she wed it unto man what is good and what the Lord requires and giveth sentence against the evil work that is contrary to the pure Law of God for the work of the Law being written in the heart the conscience bearing witness the thoughts continually accuseth and condemneth for evil here you are all left without excuse and the Lord will be just in your destruction for ignorance none of you can plead and the eye of God is open he winketh not the light is the eye Christ is the light that is now appearing in which if you believe not you shall perish eternally A Plain and true Direction into the Good Way which from everlasting hath been prepared to lead all that abide therein out of Transgression through Death into eternal Life NOw every one to the measure of the gift of Christ turn in your minds that you may every one in particular come to find the Talant that is hid in the earth much slighted and not esteemed by you and wait that you may improve it for advantage least the Lord come and find you with the wicked and flothful servant and so turn you who hath despised the measure of light into utter darkness then will you find weeping and gnashing of teeth when the Lord hath taken his own from you the time of his long suffering and patient forbearance will be over and then time will be no more in which you may be saved but with the cursed remain eternally to be tormented with the Devil and his Angels then what will the whole world advantage you when you shall feel the wrath of God even the eternal loss of your souls therefore be diligent before it be too late for the spirit will not alwayes strive with man Now every one consider hath not you had something within you that when you have told a L●e or been Drunk or Swear or Steal or secretly done wrong to your Neighbour or blasphemed the Name of Christ or any evil that you have committed have accused and condemned you even in the very conscience and then many times some of you have resolved never to do so again but then because sentence against the evil work hath not been speedily executed the heart grows hard and is wholly set again to do wickedly and so rebel again against the light even the spirit of truth that convinceth the world of sin which hath long strived with many of you and is pressed under as a Cart is prest with sheaves therefore now let not pride hardness of heart prevail but come down through the Rocks and Mountains of earth For now you are Children of the Night and dust and sin even in the heart which separates you from the light even the measure of the manifestation of the spirit which is given to every man to profit withal that so you may come to see the Son and to enjoy the light thereof that thereby your feet may be guided into the way of peace which is the old way and the good way wherein peace is found to the soul even to as many as are in the way and here you will all come to know what the peace of God is to and what can never enter into peace as you own and receive the light of Christ you will see in the light every thing that stands out of the light and that which stands out of the light you will see condemned by the light as your minds is turned out of that which is condemned into the light which doth condemne you will see the cursed ground from which all evil doth arise and keep you down in death under the chains of death and bands of iniquity in the fall from God so you will know the want of life and your lost condition you will then come to see how you are without God and without strength dead in sins and trespasses and until you see this you are yet lost and as your minds is stayed in the light you will see what you did when you denied the light and how you then pierced the Son of God and daily crucifie him and trample on his blood and put him to open shame And hear friends you must all come to know a better day when once you come to look on him whom you have pierced when you find the want of life and see him slain which is the Lord
