given you therefore cease from asking in any other name Search and read and be no longer deceived for God is come to look for fruit in the earth and every tree which is not found bearing fruit to God shall be cut down and cast into the fire Read the Parable of the Fig-tree and lay it to heart before it be too late and cease from your Taskmasters which tell you a house of stone is a Church contrary to the Scripture which sayes the Church is in God the ground and pillar of truth you may see in this they also deceive you 1 Thess 1.1 For in the true Church nothing that defileth can enter but in yours drunkards lyars and all manner of unclean persons may enter Thus you are deceived by the lying and lightnesse of your Teachers who through covetous practices make Merchandize of your souls for were you truly instituted you would come to know that the Saints bodies are the Temple of the Holy Ghost and their bodies was not for fornication which is openly tollerated amongst you but for the Lord and the Lord for the body therefore you are ignorant of this Doctrine of Paul who said Know ye not that your bodies are the Members of Christ for if you were not ignorant thereof you would be afraid to make them the members of an Harlot For who is joyned to an Harlot is one body for two saith he shall be one flesh Therefore repent and return to God and then you will come to witness your bodyes the Temples of the Holy Ghost which God will put in you and you shall no more be your own for through repentance you will come to know that ye are bought with a price and so will come to glorifie God in your bodies and spirits which then will be Gods as you come to the blood of cleansing as the Saints of old did and so did witnesse God to live and walk in them which was a true Christians state for they were led by the Spirit of God and so became the Sons of God but if any come amongst you now and say they have the Spirit of God in them ye make a mock at them and say they are mad and so are ready to stone them though the true Christians did witnesse the same else they could not have been Christians For it is the life of Christ in the Creature which makes him a Christian through which he comes to witnesse the promise of God to be fulfilled which the Prophet Joel prophesied of saying Thus shall it come to passe afterwards that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesie your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see visions And also upon your servants and handmaids in those dayes will I poure out my Spirit Therefore I in the Spirit do declare unto you my Countrey men this acceptable day that you may turn from your sins and find mercy that the powring out of the Spirit ye may come to witnesse amongst you which will lead you into all truth and from your deceitfull Teachers so will you come to know the spirit of prophesie as the Saints of old did who were truly sanctified through the blood of the Lamb for saith Paul unto them You may all prophesie one by one which was the true Churches order And againe Your Priests tels you you must look for teaching from them but the Covenant of God is That all his people shall be taught of him For this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the House of Israel After these dayes saith the Lord I will put my Law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and I will be their God and they shall be my People and they shall no more teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least to the greatest of them saith the Lord For I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more And all the children of the Covenant come to witnesse this which is their great peace for they that come to witnesse the Anointing need not mans teaching but if this you should come to witnesse your Priests should soon be discovered which is the cause they every way hold you in bondage and blindnesse being Ministers thereof themselves as manifestly appeareth by their fruits for were they Ministers of light they would bring people to the light and so to the true knowledge of God for God is light saith the Apostle God is light saith he and in him is no darknesse at all and if we walk in the light as he is in the light then have we fellowship one with another Mark the Saints fellowship was in the light therefore he that saith He knoweth God and walketh in darknesse is a lyar for he that cometh to the light cometh to know the teachings of God which the everlasting Ministry brings into So here People you may measure your Priests by the Scriptures of truth And again Your Priests tell you you must give money to pray for those which are dead which is an invention of the Devill the deceiver from whence that deceit sprung to make you believe there is a place called Purgatory to be purged in after you are dead which thing is only taught for filthy lucres sake for the Scriptures no where speak of a Purgatory for men to be purged in after they are dead but on the contrary it saith As the Tree falls so it lyes for such as a man soweth such shall he reap therefore the true Ministry was for to bring people to the Spirit of God that so their sowing might be to the Spirit the fruits of which is life everlasting So here they were brought off from the works of the flesh by the vertue of the blood of Christ Jesus and came to be cleansed from all sin for saith Paul When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness Rom. 6.20 Mark They were made free from sin so here was no need of a Purgatory to be purged from sin after death being made free from sin while in the body as Adam was and as true Christians were who followed Christ through the regeneration even to the witnessing of the new-birth which sinueth not as saith the Scriptures He that is born of God sinneth not neither can he because his seed remaineth in him And as we know that God is righteous so we know that he that doth righteousnesse is born of him and so this is the Christians boldness in the day of Judgement that as he is so are they in this present world so according to Christs words they come to be perfect even as their Father which is in Heaven is perfect And this is a true Christians life to be like Christ to live in him as he doth in the Father such only are Christians who witnesse Christ in them as the
the hands of the wicked so that they cannot turn from their wickedness by preaching up their Masters Kingdome for term of life which thing accomplished the Devil knows he hath them sure enough because it was the sin unto death which the Apostle said should not be prayed for So people Consider the miserable captivity and bondage you are in spending all the dayes of your lives in being taught by these Deceivers and in the end you must die in your sins which is a deplorable state for the Wages of sin is death and as the Tree falls so it lyes saith the Scripture and every one shall receive according to the deeds done in the body for his servants ye are to whom ye obey whether of sin unto death or of righteousnesse unto eternall life So read and consider and be no longer deceived God will not be mocked Such as you sow such shall ye reap and money cannot buy you an immortal possession neither can corruption purchase incorruption as your wicked leaders make you in effect to believe Thus hath the mistery of Iniquity and the man of sin fully wrought and revealed who by all deceiveablenesse of unrighteousnesse deceived the Nations one after this manner and another after that manner but his subtile wiles hath wrought the deepest amongst men under the name of Christians that thereby he might the easier deceive the hearts of the simple who have any desire in them after the true and living God and for these his instruments in this work he hath imposed the most subtile and craftiest men in all generations since the power of his working thereby the more to amaze the people in saying are not these the learned men are not these the Orthodox men and if these do not know how should we know who are illiterate and unlearned every way and by this his deceiveable working hath he possessed the hearts of the people with a lye for the wisdome of the wise men of this world know not the things of God neither can the naturall man discern the things of the Spirit for they are spiritually discerned therefore saith the Apostle Ye see your Calling Brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh not many mighty not many noble are called for God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen yea and things which are not to bring to nought things that are that no flesh might glory in his presence but of him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God hath made him unto us wisdome righteousnesse sanctification and redemption that according as it is written he that glorieth let him glory in the Lord 1 Cor. 1. 26-31 yea and God taketh the wise in their own craft and turneth the wisdome of the wise backward because the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men and the wisdome of man is foolishnesse with God and Christ Jesus also saith I thank thee Father that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them unto babes and sucklings Mark God hath even revealed his secrets unto babes and sucklings in which God doth perfect his praises and this is marvelous in the eyes of many And also the Apostle James saith God hath chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdome Friends this is far from the Romish Doctrine who exalt learning above the Spirit of God in whom is the candle of wisdome and in saying this I doe them no wrong for it appeareth evidently every way doe they not make use of a sort of men which they call Jesuits and Monks whom they esteeme the most to go to and fro abroad in the Nations and by their subtilty any way exalt their own horn through which means much blood hath been shed and grievous disorders amongst many hath been their fruits and effects will be witnesse enough for these things This is far from the example of Christ Jesus who made choyce of simple poor Fisher-men to send forth in his work even such who knew not the letter as saith the Scriptures and the wisdome of the Jews in those dayes had the simple hearted who believed in derision esteemed them accursed because they knew not the Law and asked if any of the Rulers did believe for ye may see preaching of Christ was esteemed a thing very much below them yet through the foolishness of this preaching as it was accounted of by the wisdome of man it pleased the Lord to save many for the Cross of Christ was preached which to the Jews was a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishnesse who sought after wisdome in those dayes but to every one that believed it was the power of God unto salvation as hath been said for he that will be truly wise unto salvation must truly become a fool as saith the Apostle that he may be made wise and saith Christ Except ye be converted and become as little children ye cannot enter into the Kingdome of God And this was witnessed by Paul who according to the learning and wisdome of this world surpassed many in his generation who was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel yet accounted it but dung and drosse that he might win Christ though according to the flesh he might glory above many Where is the wise where is the disputer hath not God appointed the the foolish things to confound them yea verily and shall for ever The little stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands which is spoken of in Daniel shall become a great mountain and cover the whole earth and blessed are they who shall fall upon it that they may be broken for if it fall upon them it will grind them to powder be they never so mighty or never so learned and never so prudent they shall never be able to stand before him Therefore all people submit and come under the banner of his love which is stretched forth over your heads for if you doe not you must come under his iron rod which will dash you to pieces for reign over all he must for ever and evermore though Gog and Magog set themselves in battel against him yea no weapon formed against him shall prosper for their great grength shall be turned into confusion for ever the Lord God of Heaven and Earth hath determined it whose will and purpose none shall be able to prevent though the Heathen may rage and the people imagine a vain thing yet all shall be in vain for God will set his Son upon his holy hill of Sion to reign over all for ever whose right alone it is and for his sake he will rebuke Kings Therefore blessed shall they be who resist not his glorious coming though Satan may have power a while to kill some of his followers and cast others into prison
