three were gathered together he would be in the midst of them and how much more at the Administration of His Blessed Sacrament which Represents His Death None disowns but that by Faith it is the Spiritual Body and Blood of Christ but as for His Natural Body it is in the Heavens and there to be Reserv'd till the Dissolution Therefore It cannot be broken nor eaten And as for the Gravity of the Church of England That She is fond of any New Point of Faith and that you say her own Children blames her Alass they do not understand the Subtilty of the Spiritual and Temporal Adversary for God would not allow a Similitude of His own Presence for God says What will you liken me to And when M●s●s Died did not God hide him and was it not because the People was naturally Inclin'd to Idolatry And doth He not fill the Heavens and the Earth and is He not in all Things else and where was He before the Heavens were made Is He not Almighty and His being is in Himself and who can conceive Him For when He moves the Angels flee and the Cherubims cover their Faces For who is able to behold His Glory What then will become of sinful man since God is so Glorious that none can stand before him if Christ had not took Humanity upon Him and thereby made us partakers of His Divine Nature that we might be capable to partake of His Glory in his Eternal Kingdom Therefore you that are Enemies to Christ and his Saints I would intreat you if ever you intend to be happy to Repent and do not be overmuch Conceited of Your Infallibillity for you see the Jews were Mistaken and do you think to be more Infallible than they that God planted with Miracles which he never did yours I know there is nothing Infallible but God and His Eternal Word and I do really believe the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against His True Church but is it any Argument that you must be that because you have a Being in the World and don 't you know some may Die and yet Live and the Fallen Angels were not destroyed for God prepared a place for them for there is nothing comes by Chance for Gods Providence takes Care of all and God will be Glorified of all Therefore I would not have you to be deceived but to Believe for God tells you That Soul that sins shall die he doth not say That he shall go into Purgatory and that some Men of your Order should Punish it and when you think it is enough a good sum of Money will send it to Heaven Doth not this Rob God of His 〈…〉 And whereas He hath commanded that there should be no other Gods 〈◊〉 Himself doth not it make many For there is none hath power over the Soul but God for is it not His own Breath But pray tell me where this place is and which way they go to it and who it is that keeps the List of every Mans sins For certainly you must send some Trusty Messenger that must bring the Last of their Iniquities safe for else every sin will not be punish'd and how do you know when they are and who is he that can tell how many sins a man commits for they are very cunning and may not confess all And there be some things that Men count sin which God may not and some things which Men count not how can you distinguish I am very Inquisitive to know because I lov'd my late Soveraign and I highly condemn you for your Unkindness for if you had had any Charity you could not have let him staid so long but I hope God will deliver my Soveraign that how is that He shall never come under such Dominion You stole away my Soveraign and yet are not you Contented Methinks this should have made you New Creatures the Favour of such a Prince But what disturbs you that you should be so Angry with us What doth the Sun shine too bright upon you Or doth God shew you too much Favour Or have you got the Nature of the Fallen Angels that did not know when they were Happy or hath Shaftsbury left his Spirit for a Legacy that you may carry on his Designs Do not Disturb the Kings Peace but rest Contented lest God Clips your Wings and if you Fall I hope you will have no more Resurections in this part of the World. And tho others may prompt you to be an Enemy to the Church of England yet their Fall would be your Ruin. But God be Thanked we have no need to Fear for the King will not with-draw his Favour from us neither shall Men or Devils prevent it And so GOD Save the KING
