way of righteouse esse then after they have known it to turn from the holy Commandment delivered unto them but it is happened unto thee according to the true Proverb the dog is turned to his own vomit again and the Sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire and thou mayest read what will be manifest to thee from the Lord For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth there remains no more sacrifice for sin but a certain fearful looking for of judgement and fiery indignation which shal devour the adversaries He that despised Moses Law died without mercy how much sorer punishment suppose ye shalt thou be thought worthy of who hast trodden under foot the Son of God and hast counted the blood of the Covenant wherewith thou wast sanctified an unholy thing and hast done despite unto the Spirit of grace and we know him that hath said Vengeance belongs unto me I will recompence saith the Lord it is a fearfull thing to fall into the hands of the living God Remember from whence thou art fallen and repent and do thy first work in minding that light of Jesus Christ in thee before whom thou once stoodest condemned for that thou now livest in prize the time and give up to be guided by the counsel of the Lord in thee the light of thy Conscience that discovers every vain thought wait on the power that is present with the light and it will dash Babylons children against the stones which is sin in its conception so will thy carnal minde bee brought to the crosse dayly and thy heart will be purged with the spirit of judgement and the spirit of burning kiss the Son in obeying his counsel the light in thee lest thou perish in the way for if his anger be kindled a little blessed are they that trust in him The Discovery of Mistery-Babylon To all inslaved Captives in Babylons Kingdome who are made drunk with the wine of the wrath of her fornications and bewitched through the multitude of her inchantments FRiends Babylon is within you the mother of Harlots is within you and she bewitches you through the abundance of her Sorceries and the beast is within you that ariseth out of the bottomless pit of the deceived heart which is deceitfull and desperately wicked and the beast which all the world wanders after is your wills that makes war against the Lamb of God in you which is the light that makes manifest the evil of your hearts and your wisdom is the great Whore that sits upon the Beast that ariseth out of the bottomless pit of the deceitfull heart and she finds out many deceitful inventions to preserve the beastly wil alive having a golden Cup in her hand ful of the abhominations of the earth and this golden Cup is your outward professions glorious comprehensions and conceivements of God and Christ imitating what the Saints did impower according as they were moved by the operation of the spirit of the most high God and you imitate the Saints practice by your wisdom There is nothing but confusion in the Kingdome of Babylon so come you to be divided into so many particular forms as Presbyterians Independents Anabaptists and divers others that are in outward worships painted over with glorious words and yet you whose wills guide you are painted Beasts bewitched with the Mother of Harlots notwithstanding all your outward professions and glorious observations they are but the golden Cup and within you are ful of the abhominations of the earth as self-love covetousness lust and uncleanness hastiness frowardness backbiting slandering hard-hartednesse cruelty and oppression grinding the faces of the poor impatiency and unbeleef and the fear of the Lord is not before your eys thus you lie poor inslaved Captives in the Kingdome of Babylon refreshing your hearts in the creature injoyments which will perish some in father and mother some in wife and children some in house and land some in money and gold some in self-wisdome delighting in themselves some in honour and preferment in this world and when there is injoyment of these visible creatures then there is content and when they are taken away there is trouble the mind alwaies plodding contriving and acting every way to get of the Creatures what the heart lusts after and he that gets the most is the highest exalted so every one is exalted above another and there is nothing but tyranny cruelty and oppression among you you sons and daughters of Babylon And in her was found the blood of the Prophets and of the Saints and all that were slain upon the earth The Merchants of Babylon are your Teachers who draw you from your guide which is the pure light of Christ in you to seek the Kingdome of God in observations without you contrary to the mind of Christ the Kingdome of God comes not with observations neither shall they say lo here or lo there for behold the Kingdome of God is within you But these your Merchants have no Scripture for their Merchandize which they sell to you inslaved Captives for so many hundreds in the year and is payed in the Nation or elsewhere for these observations they tell you you must observe or else you cannot come to the Kingdome of heaven though they are contrary to the Scripture as are practised by them there is no Scripture that witnesseth their call to the Ministry by ●…mane wisdome Notmany great not many noble not many wise after the flesh There is no Scripture that any that Jesus Christ sent forth made a bargain with the people for so much a year as these do that profess themselves to be sent of Christ This is the call of the Ministers of Christ Paul an Apostle of Jesus Christ neither of man nor by man but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ I send you forth saith Jesus Christ as Lambs among Wolves into what Town or City ye enter inquire who is worthy and if they receive you there abide eating such things as is set before you the labourer is worthy of his meat freely ye have received freely minister Those whom Jesus Christ commits the Word of eternal life unto and calls them forth to declare it unto others the love of Jesus Christ which is sealed up to their souls through his own blood constrains them to give up themselves to death in witnessing forth the eternal life they injoy in Christ as it was it is the love of Christ constraineth me to Preach the Gospel saith Paul But these your Merchants are they which have forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor who loved the wages of unrighteousness And as there is no Scripture for their call to the Ministery by their humane learning nor making bargains with the people for so much in the year so there is no Scripture

hast done and thy reward is wrath and condemnation which will pass upon thee from the presence of the Lamb for thy disobedience and breaking of the righteous Law which must be fulfilled and what way soever thou turnest to get life in outward formes and observations the flaming sword which is the righteous Law that goes out of the mouth of the Lamb it will turn every way and meet thee and cut thee down and cast thee into hell where there is weeping and wailing for want of the presence of God and thou canst doe nothing to pacifie the wrath of God which is gone out against thee Now wouldst thou hide thy self as Adam did when he appeares in thy heart thy fig-leafed garment of prayers tears forms outward observations according unto thy comprehensions of the letter will not cover thy nakedness it served to cover thy nakedness from the sight of men but now when the Lord appears in thy heart thou canst not stand before him now comes Cain in thee to be driven from the face of God to be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth notwithstanding all his sacrifice and Esau in thee reprobated never to have the blessing though he seek it with teares and the bond-woman and her son cast out and the first Adam now slain with the sharp sword that goeth out of the mouth of the Lamb and art made to give up thy soul to God whose it is to doe with thee what he will if he destroy thee for ever he may and if he save thee from eternall death it is his free love now art thou baptized with Christ into his sufferings and death where thou liest sealed down under the eternal judgement of God and there perishest for ever for any power or help thou hast in thy self and this is the administration of Moses where thou lyest condemned for ever under the righteous Law without any help or hope untill the administration of the Prophets that prophesie of a Christ that hath satisfied the righteous Law of God for thee who art lost and condemned under the power of the Law of Moses and now there is a secret hope raised up in thy soul and thou lookest up from under the condemning power of Moses for a Saviour and the Prophets are until John and of all that were born of woman there was not one greater than John for he is a burning and a shining light that lets thee see the filthiness of thy heart and the Law shines in its purity to condemn the earthly man in thee but he strengthens the hope in thee that was raised up by the Prophets to see the beauty and excellency of Iesus Christ which ravishes thy lost condemned soul that thou art willing to sell all for him the Scripture being now fulfilled in thee who witnesses this from the daies of John even until now the Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force now is every mountain and hill layd low in thee and crooked wayes made strait and the rough way in thee made smooth and thou wait in the wi●…derness and lost condition of thy self for the salvation of God to be manifest to the in Iesus Christ and in the appointed time of the Father the Son of man comes to thy soul as a Thief in the night as the lightning from the East to the West so is his appearance in thee and causes thy dead soul to hear his voice which witnesses to it eternal life freely through his own blood and thy soul heares his voice and by the word of his power is made to live and are sealed up by the holy spirit of promise the Spirit of God bearing witness with thy spirit that thou art his child now comest thou to witness the second Adam to be a quickning spirit and Isaac the promised seed to be heir for ever and that the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life and that by grace tho●… ar●… saved through Faith in the Lord Jesus not of works lest any should boast and he that hath hope in him purifies himself as he is pure and the love of Christ constrains thee now who can witnes this work of Regeneration manifest in thee to follow him whither soever he goes no more to obey him for life as thou didst when thou wast without seeking him in forms and observations but now the love and life thou enjoyest in Christ Jesus constrains thee to deny thy self and take up thy Cross daily and follow him Now art thou come into the beginning to live in the Lord guided by the powerfull word of faith the light that shines in thy heart which is the light of the City New Jerusalem to whom thou art come to worship the Father in Spirit and Truth and all that are come to walk in the light of the City New Jerusalem are the true Israel of God that are taught of God to whom the New and everlasting Covenant is made according to the promise of the Lord This is the Covenant I will make with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah after those daies saith the Lord I will put my Law in their inward parts and write it in their hearts and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people and they shall teach no more every man his Neighbour and every man his Brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them to the greatest of them I will be mercifull unto their unrighteousness and their sinnes and their iniquities will I remember no more and in this City
