the express Image of his Substance Christ Jesus who was with him before the World began as I said before Well seeing that Christ ended them that had Tenths in the time of the Law and War and ended the War and Law by which they were made that took them and the Commandment that gave them to them and ends the War before the Law and is the end of all Wars who puts the fire and the sword in the earth and destroyes the destroyer that causeth Wars and brings peace on the earth and good Will towards men and his Ministers preacht the Gospel and the Kingdom of God which hath no end Mark the Kingodm of God there is more in that that followed Christ that they preacht and asked not for Tithes for Tenths of the earth that was Elected before the World began that was Redeemed out of the Ninths that witnessed the Kingdom of God that stands in Righteousness Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost and that sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus And you may read what they witnessed in the Hebrews among them that stuck in the Figures Priests Tithes and Offerings which told them that the one offering was offered up the end of their offerings and Priesthood both that could not continue because of death and Christ was come the end of all similitudes he remains a Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedeck and the Priesthood was changed that took the Tithes and the Law was changed and the Commandment disannulled so when the Priesthood was changed and the Law changed that gave them and the Commandment disannulled and men come up out of the Ninths to the heavenly gift and did partake of the power of the World to come and yet these things was but as milk among Babes Before Christ was offered up they ought to pay Tithes but when he was offered up then they ought not the Commandment disannulled the Priesthood changed the Law changed also Was ended peace on earth and good will towards men Election known before the World began and men Redeemed to God from the earth who had been drove from God into the earth who had lost his Image by transgression and disobedience who is brought into the Image by the obedience of Christ who blots out the transgression and finisheth sin and reconciles for iniquity and brings in Everlasting Righteousness Mark Righteousness lasteth for ever that Redeems men out of the Ninths and ends the War in whom Melchizedeck the figure ends and liveth not in the Righteousness of the Law of works of the Priests that had the Tenths and Command that Commands the Tenths but lives in Christ and by him and under him who is the Treasure of Wisdom and Knowledge that ends the Command and Law and Priesthood and War and Figures and in him doth Melchizedeck end Christ who is the end of all things and here is the Saints life and the Churches head that the gates of Hell cannot prevail against who is the sum of all things that ends Ninths and Tenths And his Church is Redeemed out of the Ninths and reigns upon the earth and preaches the Gospel the Kingdome of God Mark Kingdom and preaches the Substance the end of the similitudes the end of the first Priesthood the Law is changed that he was made by and he also and the Command disannulled that gave him Tithes and here the peace on earth and the good will towards men is known for Christ is the Peace and Redeemer and now he is come to reign and doth reign among his Saints who ends all similitudes and likenesses and in him is no shadow nor turning nor winding nor variableness who is the Image of God glorified with the Father before the World began For since man went out of the Image of God and his Righteousness has been the Wars the first Priesthood and the Tenths in the War and the Tenths in the first Priesthood and Figures which Christ the Image of God ends the War and Priesthood and figures and similitudes and Tenths and brings men up into the Image of God and his Righteousness and Redeems people out of the Ninths and so to the end of the Tenths and Warre being come out of the fall up to God again where peace is redeemed out of the earth and reigns upon it and there is the end of that at present and so much for that at the present And Tenths was paid from the Principle of God within them for man transgressing the Principle of God within him was drove from God but when the Law came which went over all transgressors and transgressions answered the just Principle of God in every man the Tenths was offered up in the time of the War and Law from the Principle of God within and so is the Ninths from the Spirit of God within the power of God the Gospel and where life and immortality is come to light all is offered up to God And man come up out of the earth unto God from whom he has been drove And from the Principle of God within he did offer up the Tenths according to Law for death reigned man transgressing the Law of God within him when he fell went from the power The Devil went out of truth tempted man out of truth to sin and so to death and death reigned from Adam till Moses and so the Law came by Moses who saw the first transgression upon the earth and so the law was added because of transgression which is called the higher power higher then all evil doers to which power every soul must be subject And Moses saw the blessed state of the creatures before transgression before the Divel and man went out of truth and so man had the power within him before the transgression the power within him the law within him and so the law was added upon him called the law of works because of transgression and that served tell the seed came and Moses saw the Prophet of God he knew that the seed of the Woman should bruise the head of the Serpent Christ Jesus should destroy the Devil and his works the salvation of mankind And Moses the Prophet God gave him that wisdom to make the pattern the figure and Moses saw the time it should stand and before it was and the Prophet God should raise up like unto him whom the people should hear who should come to end it Now he that can read this and see this and hear this prophet which should end the pattern types figures and shadowes may read something and he that hath offered up the ninths of the earth and is come out of the ninths by Christ the substance redeemed out of the earth and witnesseth sin and transgression finished and the bond of iniquity broken and Christ reconciled to him and everlasting righteousnesse brought in he witnesseth the end of tenths and may speak something of what the tenths figured forth and offerings and Priests that witness the seed and is in the
Courts and take treble of them going with Judas Bag and eating and drinking damnation to themselves mind what Judas his Bag figured forth that betrayer of the Just and mind how all the Ministers in whole Christendom goes forth now with gold and silver and purses and Tenths and yet they say that Christ sent them and will not go without it and have great Parsonages And mark who betrayed him but him that had the Bag and if Tithes had been Christs inheritance why would he not take them when upon the earth Doctor If we sow unto you Spiritual things it is least if we reap of your carnal things Mark Here is to you to you that we sow too to you not to them they did not sow too now these will take the Compulsion and Law and go to the powers of the earth and take treble Tithes and cast them into Prison that they have not sowed Spiritual things too Now if we sow unto you Spiritual things it is the least to Reap of your carnal things I say yes this is to them that are sowed to so I say as I said before let every one maintain his own Minister so the Apostle saith have I not power to eat have I not power to drink for when Christ sent forth his Ministers what was set before them that they might eat and bid them enquire who was worthy into what Town soever they went but did not make a bargain with them for their lives time and compel all to give them means which did hear them and did not hear them which they did not sow too nor Minister too He that plants a Vineyard eats of the fruit of it keeps a Flock eats of the milk of it Mark here he hath threshed and plowed and planted and laboured and gotten a Flock But mark how Christendom lyes like a Wilderness sow Spiritual reap carnal keep a Flock eat of the milk shalt not muzzle the mouth of the Ox that treadeth out the Corn so they need not go to the powers of the earth but the Flock will give them milk and the Vineyard give them fruit and reap carnal the Ox meat and there is no allowing to Magistrates which hath made no Vineyards nor sowed Spiritual things nor gotten out the Corn where they have sowed Spiritual Now they reap corruption which sow to the flesh though they may have taught the people 40 years yet they say the people are carnal and so run and tell the Magistrate with a Petition that the people are carnal so these Teachers were never sent out by the Father to plant Vineyards but by the will of men and so shames themselves and the people both which are called Christians And though the Apostle said have I not power to eat have I not power to drink yet he did not say have I not power to take augmentations and Tithes and gleabe lands and stipends and to take treble Tithes of them and cast them into Prison that they did no work for which they have not planted yet these will use their power to eat but the Apostle said he would not use his power but keep the Gospel without charge and so lose not his glorying so you have lost your glorying and so have brought a great charge upon the people since the dayes of the Apostles who are out of the Gospel the power of God for if you had been in it you had brought glad tydings to the Nations And had not been like Lucifer that makes the World as a Wilderness and opens not the Prison houses but puts them into Prison and this may you and Christendom read Isaiah the 14th chapter Doctor So they that sacrifice at the Altar were partakers of the Altar and they that Ministred at the Temple lived of the Holy things they that preach the Gospel lives of the Gospel The Altar and Temple is down and the Holy things about it and the Priests and the Tenths and the Sacrifices and Offerings and they that preach the Gospel they live in that which brings people out of the Ninths And had you troden out the Corn in the whole Christendom the Wheat had been up before now above Corruption and had you sowen Spiritual things life Eternal had been reaped and a harvest before now And had you been them that preached the Word you would have been Communicated unto by them you had taught so that you would not have needed means of others by such cruel doings And had you kept the Apostles Doctrine and Christs freely received and freely give you had been like the Lillies out of the Gentiles steps and oother things would have followed them that would not have received you shake off the dust of you● feet against them like the Apostles and had you planted Vineyards you might have eaten the fruit and gotten a Flock you might have eaten the milk then you need not have ravened up and down to Magistrates with Petitions to make them your pack-horses croaking under them like the frogs Now Christ hath Redeemed people out of the Ninths if he would have lived in the Ninths he might have had a hole and a nest but he had not whereon to lay his head read the Parable and if you had preacht the Gospel which opens peoples hearts you need not carry the Bag nor provided but have been as the Lillies and Christ might have had a Store-house to have put his head in if he had had the Tithes but he ends Store-house Ninths and Tenths and brings people to God to the power from which they were droven Doctor The Labourer is worthy of his hire Matth. 10. Luke 22. We say yes he that hireth a man is worthy to give him his wages and the workman is worthy of his meat he that sets him at work is worthy to give him his meat But would not Priests and Professors say it was unrighteous for one to come and bring these words to him and would have money and meat of him which never set him on work nor hired him Would they not say he was a Minister of unrighteousness not according to Law nor Gospel that sues him at the Law and casts him into Prison and takes treble of him whom he never hired nor set at work Is not this the Dragons power and the Ministers of unrighteousness that do so And is not this Gods power that saith the labourer is worthy of his hire and the workman of his meat and it is a just thing to give it them so to take meat and hire of them that did not set them at work is not this lying and bringing the Scripture for a Cloak And saying they are Ministers of the Gospel and cast into Prison till death them that do not give it them are not these Usurpers And what did Aunanias and Saphirahs keeping back part signifie and the lyar that lodgeth in the earth which was overt●●own Now apply that and know the application for none of the scripture doth uphold the Tythes of
