to be one that prophaned the temple a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazareans Acts 24. Acts 22.22 Ephes 5.8 a pestilent fellow a raiser of sedition many cry'd out away with such a fellovv he 's not worthy to live thus they suffer'd by the zealous professors in those daies but they whose mindes was turned to the light they was translated out of darkness into the light 1 Cor. 12 13 1 Iohn 3.14 Col. 3.9 10. Rom. 6.6 1 Cor. 6.9 10 11 and became the children of light and was baptized by one Spirit into one body and had passed from death unto life and had put off the old man and put on the new the old man being crucified with Christ though some of them was drunkards some swearers some proud some covetous Idolaters Adulterers yet then they were cleansed and washed and sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God and here was the Church which witnessed the Spirituall Baptisme into the Spirituall Body of which Christ is Head and they being thereby set free from Sin their Union and Communion was here and the Bread which the Saints brake was the Communion of the Body of Christ 1 Cor. 10.16 2 Cor. 5.17 1 Cor. 12.27 Iohn 2.27 1 Cor. 1.18 and the Cup which they drank was the Communion of the Blood of Christ and they was in Christ new Creatures all members of one Body and needed not that any man should teach them because the anointing was in them and to them the Cross was the power of God unto salvation though to the Greeks foolishness and to the Jews a stumbling block and in this Cross Paul rejoyced Gal. 6.14 by which he was Crucified to the world and the world to him and they was not conformed unto the world but transformed by the renewing of their mindes and had one Lord one Faith Eph. 4.4 5.6 one Baptisme one way one Teacher one Life and one Shepheard and one Priest over the houshould of God and one God and Father of all Phil. 3.20 being united by one Spirit into the bond of peace and their conversation was in Heaven and there was the Christians and though there was a time that when Christ was preached after the flesh Phil. 1.16 17 18. some preached Christ through envy and strife and contention to add affliction to Pauls bonds yet in all this he rejoyced that the name of Christ was spread abroad for there was many that believed not that that was the Christ that suffered at Ierusalem and was crucified as Paul himself had not and as there is many such to this day and so it rejoyced him that the name of Christ was spread abroad but after his name was spread abroad and many believed that that was the Christ 2 Tim. 3.5 then the Apostle declared against such who had the form but denyed the life and power and said from such turn away for as Iannes and Iambres withstood Moses so do they withstand the truth being men of corrupt mindes and reprobates concerning the faith and said the Apostle we preach Christ crucified unto the Jews a stumbling-block 1 Cor. 1.23.24 2 Cor. 5.16 and the Greeks foolishness but unto them which are called both Jews and Greeks Christ the power of God and the wisdome of God and said the Apostle hence know we no man after the flesh and though we have known Christ after the flesh hence know we him no more but he that is in Christ is a new creature old things are passed away and all things become new and they that are Christs have crucified the flesh with the affections and Lusts Gal. 4.24 Col. 26 27. 2 Cor. 13.5 1 Iohn 5.10 Iohn 5 25. 1 Iohn chap. 3.5 2 Pet. 1.4 1 Iohn 4.11 chap. 5.19 and the Apostle preached Christ within the hope of glory the Ministry which had been hid from ages and generations and they that could not witness Christ in them was reprobates and here it was not sufficient for them to say they believed Christ dyed for them but he that believeth hath the witness within himself and he that believeth is passed from death unto life and he that believeth is born of God and he that is born of God doth not commit sin and those was they who was made partakers of Christs divine nature therefore saith Iohn as he is so are we in this present world and we are of God and the whole world lyeth in wickedness and they that are of God heareth us and they that are not with us are against us then the Apostle Paul he spoke of false Apostles that was gotten transforming themselvs as the Apostles of Christ 2 Cor. 11.13 4.15 no marvel saith he for Satan himself is transformed as an Angel of light therefore it is no great thing also if his Ministers be transformed as the Ministers of Christ whose end shall be according to their works and the Apostle Peter he fore-told of such who through covetousness with feigned words should make merchandise of the people and Iude he spoke of such who go on in the way of Cain 2 Pet. 2 8. Iude 11. 1 Iohn 2.10 1● and after the error of Balaam for gifts and rewards and saith Iohn it is the last time and as ye have heard that Antichrists shall come even now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time they went from us but they were not of us Now the false Apostles was such as under a pretence or profession of true Apostles deceived the ignorant and brought in heresies and so Antichrist is one that under the profession of Christ opposes Christ and drawes from him in the life though under a profession of his name and of faith in him and thus Antichrist got up even that man of sin 2 Thes 3 4. that is exalted in man above all that is called God sitting in the Temple of God as God and saith he is God and thus he decived them in that age as an Angel of Light in a form and likeness of Christ but a false Christ who bewitched them from the truth with a form and profession and thus Antichrist hath raigned by the power of Darkness ever since the Apostles dayes over the world under a Gospel profession yet I say not but that the Lord hath had a remnant in all ages to himself who was zealous and faithfull in what they knew but here hath been a long time of cruel darkness and ignorance and the Lord hath been a long time as a stranger in the earth and they that were accounted to believe on God or Christ looked at him as a God a far off in the heavens without far off they know not where yet they that said they believed that that was the Christ that dyed at Ierusalem and that he dyed for their sins and rose again and was sitting at the right hand

talking foolish jesting and evil communication and to be short stil alive in the worlds nature strangers to the holy God and so under deaths dominion and here I comprehend all forms sects judgements and opinions by the light which slayes Death and takes away its Dominion unto its selfe to whom it belongs and doth see them and judge them to be out of the light in Darkness and so in confusion one clashing against another with their judgements and opinions and here is the disputes of this world and the one cries Lo here is Christ in this form and another cries so here is Christ in this form and none else when as Christ is within his Saints and theirs is a false Christ which they have set up in their imaginations and here is the false Prophets and false Christs that are gone out into the world who have deceived many And hereis the ground of forms a setting up a likeness of a thing a figure or image of a thing Reve. 13. but not the thing it selfe and here is the beast and the image of the beast which all the world worships and wonders after even Satan as an Angel of light in his several shapes forms and likenesses to deceive the simple and here is the form without the life and power and here is the building upon a sandy foundation which all must come down Luk 6.49 Mat. 19.20 who here the words and talk of the words and are sayers of the words and hear is him that saith he hath kept the commandments and Ordinances and yet his heart from God after other lovers who is searched and found out by Christ the Light and here is the Spirituall Babel with its foundation and Babels building and Babels builders and here is the Image whose head is gold whose breast is silver and thighes of brass Dan. 2. and legs of iron and feet part iron and part clay but now is he come and made manifest who strikes at feet of Image who is called the stone cut out of mountaine without hands even Jesus Christ the son of God now after all this profession of his name and of faith in him but now he findes none in the earth who hath revealed himself in the poor despised ones of the world and those which have been counted the blind and ignorant and as you have read the poor receive the Gospel the world was made by him but the world knew him not he came unto his own and his own received him not Iohn 1. Acts 2.16 17 18 19. but as many as receives him to them he gives power to become the Sons of God to whom that promise is fulfilled which was promised in the dayes of old by the father that in the last dayes he would poure forth his Spirit upon all flesh and his sons and daughters should prophesie and the young men see visions and if you wil receive it this is the Elias which was for to come in the Spirit as he came in the flesh even the life and power of what hath been so long professed which the Lord hath now manifested in his servants and handmaidens whom he hath now sent forth abroad Mat. 22.2 3. freely to call into the Supper of the Lord even the marriage of the Lamb and to preach his name no more after the flesh but after the Spirit and to preach him within the hope of glory the Ministry which hath been hid from ages and generations and they that will be his disciples must deny themselves and take up his Cross and follow him through evil report and good report through persecution and through death and who are faithful until death must receive a Crown of life and reigne with him for evermore in his Kingdome of which there is no end neither beginning over which he is made heire and King blessed be Jehovah sing Haelalujah to his name all ye that know him And now that his name is spreading abroad and his message declaring by the mouth of his faithful messengers those who have long talked of his name and so long professed his name knows him not neither believes on him but are found hypocrites and dissemblers and blind leaders of the blind whited walls and painted Sepulchers but within full of uncleanness hypocrisie and deceit even the generation of vipers and Serpents and those will not receive the message but makes light of it and saith they believe on a Christ at Jerusalem and now in the heavens far off they know not where and they cry he hath done all for us and hath satisfied for our sins and they shal not be imputed to us say they and they cry out this is a new Light and a strange Light and we know not whence it is but they say they wil keep to the old Rule the Scriptures which they call the word of God and the old way though they be meer strangers to the life of the Scriptures but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled upon them as Christ saith for judgemet am I come into the world that they which see not might see Iohn 9.39 and that they which see might be made blind as their forefathers professed Abraham and Moses and said we know that God spake unto Moses but as for this fellow we know not whence he is Iohn 9.29 and they said God was their Father but Jesus Christ answered them and said Iohn 8. If ye were Abrahams children ye would do the works of Abraham and he also said If God were your Father then would you love me for I proceeded forth and came from him but saith he ye are of your Father the Devill and his works you do and will do and thus are the Pharisaicall professors of these times marked out to be in the steps of their fore-fathers for this is the same Christ that suffered at Ierusalem but they are blind and cannot see neither indeed do believe the Scripture nor walk according to it but are in the old and broad way of the world wherein their fore-fathers walked and led many to destruction but if these did believe the Scripture they would believe on this light which is come into the world which the Scripture bares testimony of even the Spirit of truth which the world cannot receive and some of them scoff and scorn and revile reproach and slander and rayle at the messengers of Truth and some strike them and stone them and buffer them and stock them and whip them and imprison them and despitefully use them yet they are made able through the power of him that hath sent them for to go on in boldness Mat. 22.4 5 6. but those persecutors are not found worthy Therefore the Lord wil send forth his Armies and destroy these murderers and burn up their City and these are they that have professed to be his near kindred friends and acquaintance but now are found strangers who prophesied in his name and in his name done

doe walk and serve and worship him in spirit and in truth and such is the Father seeking to worship him Iohn 4.23 24 in whom he is in doing his own ork even to destroy the old Creation and create new Heavens and new Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness and those are they that are the new creatures in whom this new work is witnessed in whom the Father hath manifested his Son that in the likeness of sinful flesh he might condemn sin in the flesh and to bind the strong man and cast him out of his house and spoyl his goods and so to destroy the works of the Devil and to cut down the Man of Sin even that son of perdition who is exalted above all that is called GOD sitting in the Temple of God as God and saith he is God this is he by whom the world is deceived who is the God of the world even the Prince of Darkness who rules in all the Children of Disobedience and so said Iohn in the light the whole world lies in wickedness and unto this doth Christ come with a sword for to make war with him and to take and bind him and cast him into utter darkness and so to take his Kingdom from him and to rule himself in righteousness And this is the King of the SAINTS who is now come to redeem unto himself a pure people and to wash them and clense them from their sinnes by his BLOOD and so to wash away all filthiness both of Flesh and Spirit and this is the Baptism by which they are received into his Church and Faith and here is the effect of his BLOOD wrought in MAN and thus he doth and will manifest his mighty power to purifie and clense and make Man a fit Temple for himself to dwell in and thus is GOD with us manifested in Flesh and thus are the Saints Bodies made the TEMPLES of the HOLY GHOST and thus is the word of Life and Reconciliation witnessed to the raising up the Soul to Life and reconciling the Soul to GOD and those are they that are begotten and born again of the Immortal Word which dwelleth and abideth for ever and here is the Houshold of God the Houshold of Faith and the Houshold of Love 1 Iohn 1.1 who speak the things which they have heard and seen and tasted of the good Word of Life which was in the beginning and those are the children of Light who are gathered out of the darke Forms Judgments and Opinions into the life and power of godliness to walk in the Light of Life wherein they are gathered and united by the one Spirit of Love and Life into one body of which Christ is head and here is the true Church which the Lord is a gathering and washing and cleansing and purifying by his Spirit that he may redeem unto himself a pure Church not having spot or wrinckle or any such thing whose insides are washed and made clean through the Word Iohn 15. by which they are reconciled into the love and union which springs from the Life of God and here is the Vine and the Branches and here is the communion of the Church all feeding upon one Bread all drinking upon one cup this is Christ the Life of the Saints and as many as are baptized into this Church partake of this communion and those are they which have denied themselves and have borne the Cross of Christ by which they are crucified to the world and the world to them who are gathered into one Covenant of Life where all are Fellow-Servants under one MASTER who serve one another in love and meeknesse and here is the true Humility in the HEART wrought and here is the true washing of feet without Hypocrisie which some are imitating without for LIFE but falls short for the heart the Lord requires And thus is the Church of Christ gathered by one spirit and by the same circumcised and baptised into one Light and Life and Power where all dwell as MEMBERS of one BODY of which CHRIST is the HEAD And here is the blessed Union and Communion in one and here God is worshipped in Spirit and in Truth and as CHRIST is spiritual so is his Body and so is his Ordinances and here are the true Christians not those that onely have the Notion of those things but they that witness and possess this in Life and they that believe hath the witness within themselves and they that believe have passed from death unto life and the life which they now live in is by faith in the Son of God which faith is without respect of persons who are the new creatures who are in Christ Jesus to whom there is no condemnation who walk not after the FLESH but after the SPIRIT Gal. 5.23 for against such there is no LAW for they are translated out of that NATURE for which the LAW was added and are set free by the Law of the Spirit of Life and are made partakers of the Divine nature of Christ Rom. 8.2 1 Iohn 4.17 by which they are made Christians and therefore saith Iohn as he is so are we in this prasent world and such now witnesses the effect of the blood of Christ wrought within them and the end of his coming and the benefit of his Death who are dead with him and risen through the death of the Cross and these are they that have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Son of God within them Christ within the hope of Glory or else no hope of Glory for they that cannot witness him so 2 Cor. 13.5 Iohn 17.23 are in the Reprobation so saith the Apostle and here is the Son in the Saints and the Father in the Son and thus are all made perfect in one and here is the true Church where there is but one Teacher one Lord one Faith one Baptisme one Light one Life and one way one Shepherd and one Sheepfold and one Priest over the houshold of God and one hope and one language one family and one God and father of all and they that cannot witness this are Strangers to Christ and Strangers to his Cross and Strangers to the Commonwealth of Israel And this is the work which the Lord now hath begun and is carrying on by a strong arm and mighty power to redeem unto himselfe a pure Church and blessed are they that hearken unto his voyce Here all you Formalists Imitators and selfe-acters are shut out here all you proud ones are shut out here all you lustful ones fleshly ones and carnal ones are shut out and all you that are conformed like unto the world in their fashions in their customes in their words in their ways in their worships and traditions in their love and in their fellowship who are seeking the glory and honor and riches of this world you are the children of this World under the Dominion of the GOD of the WORLD whose Kingdom is

of this World Here all you are shut out who live at ease in your pleasures and live want only upon the earth in the lust of the flesh the lust of the eye Iames 5.5.6 and the pride of life you are the Children of Babylon you kill the just and he lies slain in the streets but here you all are shut out of the new Covenant of Life in the dark world under deaths dominion of what profession and judgment soever Alians and Strangers to the Covenant of Promise for they that are not with us are against us and our union and society is in the light of life Mat. 12.30 but you must all suffer the death of the Cross to the life which you now live in before you can witness this Redemption for those that live with Christ are crucified with him therefore so it is they that wil take up life must first lay down life for the way to life is through death therefore you must be stripped of all your old covers naked and bare that your deceit and shame may appear which you have so long covered with your own righteousness but now you must suffer the shame of the Cross if you would have part in Christ and all your old wisdome knowledg and notions which you have gotten into your comprehensions by your conceivings of the Scripture Letter wherin hath bin your life and pride and exaltation must all come to the death of the Cross that no flesh should glory in his presence but I say unto all you Professors Formalists Notionists and Disputers and Wise ones of this World if you will not take up and imbrace this Cross Publicans and Harlots shall enter the Kingdome before you therefore not many mighty nor many noble nor many wise after the flesh are called but he hath chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise 1 Cor. 25.26 to the end and the weak to confound those that are mighty that no FLESH should glory in his PRESENCE but CHRIST is made over unto us Wisdome Righteousness Sanctification and Redemption that they which glory might glory in the Lord and this I witness in my measure the things which I have seen and heard and felt and tasted of the good Word of Life which was in the beginning the same do I declare and am known and read by the children of Light And now I shall proceed to severall passages that I have had with the people called Baptists in seveverall meetings that their deceit and delusion may be laid open to the simple hearted Upon the thirtieth day of the first Month called March in the yeare 1655. I was atone Ashens house in Fenstanten in Huntingtonshire where I was freely declaring the Truth of God to the people that came there together that day as I was taught and moved by the Spirit of Truth by which the holy men of God spoke forth the Scripture as they was moved and there came severall of the people called Baptists into the Roome amongst us amongst whom was one of their Teachers called Richard Elligood who after a while stood up in his wil and wisdome to accuse me and said that I said that God did not respect any forms and yet saith he you use the form and so use that which God hath no respect to but his first words was Sir if you please I wil speak something to what you have said to which I made answer here needs no complements and then he runs on as aforesaid to which accusation I replyed was false and bid him prove what form I used and he said the Letter and I replyed he that takes the Letter to talk of without the life and power such sets up a Form and makes a Form but this would not satisfie his filthy wisdome which darkned his understanding but because I spoke words which are mentioned in the Scripture by the same spirit that spoke forth the Scripture by which I challenge the Scripture from him and all such who have gotten it to talk of but denies the life and are strangers to the life and power therefore with his contrary spirit tasked me with a Form which by his logick and deceitfull art would have proved but could not but his deceit was laid open to the people and many declared against him for a form is this as I said before the likeness of a thing but not the thing it self as they have the likeness of a Church which they have imagined from the Letter with their Elders Pastors and Teachers but not the Church it selfe and so they imitate the Scriptures but live not in the life of them that spoke forth the Scriptures neither are acted or guided by the same spirit that gave forth the Scriptures and so wants the life and power and those are the formalists that makes forms and likenesses to deceive the simple as the devil hath the form of an Angell of Light but not the life and power who appears to rule in those formalists and selfe-actors but the day doth make him manifest and therefore he rages and then this Elligood denyed that I had the same spirit that gave forth the Scripture and he said the Spirit might be tryed by the Letter for he said many false Spirits are entred into the world and I asked him by what did the Apostle know that false spirits were gon out into the world and he replyed and said by the Spirit of God then I replyed and said if by the Spirit of God the Apostle knew that there was many false spirits gone out into the world then by the Spirit of God he tryed false Spirits and knew false spirits from the true and here his deceit was laid open to the people and he judged out of his own mouth to be a lyar and to be guided by a false spirit who would try the living by the dead and again he said that one Spirit could not try another for by that judgments the evil Spirits might try the good Spirits to which I replyed by the Spirit of God all other spirits are tryed and also that by the Light darkness is discovered but Darkness cannot comprehend the Light neither discover the Light and here again his blindness and ignorance and deceit was much discovered to the people although he fed himself and would have shufled it off by his consequences and filthy logick but it the more laid open his deceit and presently the said Elligood was found with another lye in his mouth for he said that I said the thing should be proved by every mans spirit which was a very lye for I said that the baptisme of the spirit was the substance of the outward baptisme the which he denyed and bid me prove it and I said I spoke to the witness in every mans conscience which his dark mind could not comprehend but with his dark mind wrested my words and therefore said that I said it was witnessed by every mans spirit but his
