as Messengers Ministers or Ambassadors Fourthly Because thou denies the holy Scriptures Fifthly Because thou hast lyed against God and Christ and hast born a false Testimony of them and of the true Prophets of God and Apostles of Christ 1. As to the first That thou denies Almighty God himself is evident by thy own Doctrine because thou saist That the dead after death shall never see any other God or Judge but the remembrance of that Sentence which you the pretended Witnesses of the Spirit did pass upon them in this life which is quite contrary to the doctrine of Christ and the Scriptures of truth John 5.26 27 28 29. Mat. 25.31 32 33 34 41. 2 Pet. 2.9 2. And as to the second that thou deniest Christ of his offices is evident against thee by thy own doctrine in three particulars First Thou deniest Christ as chief Judge ordained of God to set up thy self in his stead because thou saist Thou art ordained chief Judge in the world to give sentence upon men and women spiritual and eternal and what shall become of them after dea●h contrary to the Doctrine of Christ and the Scriptures of truth Mat. 25 31 32. c. Ioh. 5.26 27 28 29 30. Acts 10.42 17.31 2 Tim. 4 1 1 Pet. 4.5 and as before is proved Secondly Thou deniest Christ as he is the Saviour of men and the Author of eternal salvation to all that obey him in whom eternal life is to be had because thou accounts that there is no eternal life to be had but in the faith of thy doctrine saying There is no eternal life to be had but in the faith of the doctrine or declaration of a Prophet who hath a Commission from God saith There neither is nor ever shall be any such Prophet but thy self whilst the world endureth In answer to the which I say That the holy Scriptures which were spoken and declared from the movings of the Holy Ghost in the holy men of God 2 Pet. 1.20 21. were better doctrine declaration of Prophets of God then thine who had a better commission or authority from God then ever thou hadst And concerning their declaration Christ said to the Jews Search the Scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life they are they which testifie of me and ye will not come to me that ye might have life Iohn 5.39 40. And Christ said to his Disciples I am the way and the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me Ioh. 14.6 And the Ambassador of Christ hath declared and said That the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord as it is written Rom. 6.22 23. then not in the faith of thy doctrine And Christ doth give unto his sheep eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall any man pluck them out of his hand Ioh 10.27 28. And the Messengers of Christ have declared and said This is the record that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son 1 Ioh. 5.11 then not in the faith of thy doctrine He that hath the Son hath life eternal though he deny thy doctrine and he that hath not the Son hath not life eternal though he may have faith in thy doctrine By what hath been said it is evident and remains certainly true 1. That Christ Jesus is the Saviour of men and the Author of eternal salvation to all that obey him Acts 5.31 32. Heb. 7 25 Heb. 5.9 and is able to save to the uttermost all that come unto God by him 2. That he is the way to the Father without which no man can come unto him Iohn 146 3. That the gift of God is eternal life which Christ doth give unto his sheep that they may never perish Rom. 6.23 Iohn 10.27 28. 4. That eternal life is not in the faith of thy doctrine or declaration but in Christ the Son according to the Record that God hath given For he that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son hath not life as it is written 1 Iohn 5.11 12. Thirdly Thou deniest Christ as he is the Advocate with the Father and the propitiation for the sins of the whole World because thou saist That no infinite Spirit of Christ nor any God can or shall be able to deliver from thy sentence and curse which is contrary to truth and the holy Scripture where it is said My little children these things write I unto you that ye sin not and if any man sin we have an Advocate with the Father Iesus Christ the righteous and he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world 1 Joh. 2.1 2. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them as it is written Heb. 7.25 3. And as to the third That thou deniest Christ of his officers is evident by thy own doctrine because thou falsly saist That no man ought to officiate the Office of a Minister Messenger of Ambassador of Christ but such as are appointed by John Reeves and thy self contrary to the Scriptures 1 Pet. 4 10 11 1 Pet. 1.10 11 12. Acts 13.2.4 Acts 20 28. Acts 10 19 20 21. Acts 11.12 21. Acts 10.42 43 2 Cor. 3.1 2 3 4 5 6 2 Cor. 4.1 2 3 4 5 6 7. and as before I have proved 4. And as to the fourth That thou deniest the holy Scriptures I prove against thee by thy own doctrine first because thou saist That the words which Christ said to his Disciples Bless and curse not concerns not thee nor any man upon earth at this day contrary to the Doctrine of Christ where it is said Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and teach men so he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven but whosoever shall do and teach them he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven Matt. 5.17 18 19. and one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass till all be fulfilled Secondly Thou deniest the holy Scriptures because thou saist The dead after death shall never see any other God or Iudge but the remembrance of that sentence which you the pretended Witnesses of the Spirit did passe upon them in this life contrary to the Scriptures as before I have proved Thirdly Thou deniest the holy Scriptures because thou saist Thou art chief Iudge ordained of God to give sentence upon men and women spiritual and eternal and what shall become of them after death contrary to the Scriptures and as before I have proved Fourthly Thou deniest the Scriptures because thou saist That no man ought to officiate the Office of a Minister Messenger or Ambassador of Christ but such as are appointed by John Reeves thy self contrary to the Scriptures and as before I have proved
11.3 by what hath been said as aforementioned meant and intended so likewise it is evident That thou Lodowick art not the other of them two Witnesses because it is said of them that in order to the finishing of their Testimony They should prophesie a thousand two hundred and threescore dayes clothed in sackcloth Rev. 11.3 But when didst thou so And it is said concerning them That if any man will hurt them fire proceedeth out of their mouth and devoureth their enemies and if any man will hurt them he must in that manner be killed Rev. 11.5 These have power to shut heaven that it rain not in the days of their Prophesie and have power over waters to turn them into blood Rev. 11.6 But when didst thou prophesie a thousand two hundred and threescore days in sack cloth And when did fire proceed out of thy mouth to kill any And when didst thou shut up the heavens that it did not rain during the time of thy pretended prophesie Or when didst thou turn the waters into blood whereby it might have been made manifest that thou hadst been one of them who couldst manifest no such thing by thy pretended Commission and the greatness of thy pretended power Whereby it is manifest that thou art not one of those Witnesses And seeing thou pretends a new Commission which is not owned by the Scriptures or by the Doctrine of Christ and his Apostles saist Thou hast received power since to the contrary to vindicate thy cursing and damning When was the new Covenant and Ministry of the Gospel changed Or how canst thou make it appear by the Scriptures that it is not so seeing thou pretends a contrary Commission to what the Scriptures or the Doctrine of Christ his Apostles do own And it is said concerning Christ and the new Covenant that he hath obtained a more excellent Ministry then that of the old Covenant by how much also he is the Mediator of a better Covenant which was established upon better promises Heb. 8.6 7 8 9 10 11 12. And because he continueth for ever he hath an unchangeable Priesthood or Ministry wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him because he ever liveth to make intercession for them as it is written Heb. 7.24 25. And if none ought to officiate the office of a Minister Messenger or Ambassador of Christ but such as are appointed by John Reeves and thy self as thou saist wouldst not thou have the Ministry changed now during thy life and wouldst not thou have the Ministry of the Gospel to cease and dye at thy death because thou saist Thou art the last that ever shall speak by Commission from God and that the Lord will never chuse any more after thee whilst the world doth endure And it is evident That thou wouldst have such a Ministry as the Scriptures no where own and quite contrary to the Doctrine of Christ and his Apostles and not at all owned by the New-Covenant and Ministry of the Gospel 1. Because those who are appointed by John Reeves and thy self to officiate the office of a Minister Messenger or Ambassador of Christ are such as are not chosen of God to that Work 2. Those that are appointed by John Reeves and thy self to the Work of the Ministry are such as have no commission from God to impower them to officiate the office of a Minister Messenger or Ambassador of Christ and are therefore very unfit for so great and glorious a Work 3. They are such as are never like to have any Commission from God to impower them to the Work of the Ministry whilst the World doth endure and that according to thy own doctrine 4. They are such as know not the Scriptures neither can they truly interpret the Scriptures and that according to thy own sayings Because for proof thereof thou saist That thou art the chosen Witness of the Spirit and the last that ever shall speak by Commission from God Then not those that are appointed by John Reeves and thy self they neither have nor are not like to have any commission from God to impower them to the work of the Ministry thou hast excluded them from that by thy pretended commission and the Doctrine thereof Take notice of that And thou saist That God will never chuse any more after thee whilst the world doth endure If so then God will never chuse those that are appointed by John Reeves and thy self Therefore they are no fit Ministers Messengers or Ambassadors of Christ that are appointed by John Reeves and thy self First Because they are not chosen of God to that Work nor ever like to be whilst the World doth endure Secondly Because they have no commission from God to impower them to so great and glorious a Work And thirdly Because according to thy doctrine they are never like to have any commission from God to impower them whilst the World doth endure to officiate the office of Ministers Messengers or Ambassadors of Christ and there is no need for them to officiate the office aforesaid after the end of the world Mind how thou art confuted And thou saist No man knows the Scriptures but thy self nor no man can truly interpret the Scriptures but thy self if so then not those that are appointed by John Reeves and thee to the Work of the Ministry if none ought to officiate the office of a Minister Messenger or Ambassador of Christ but such as are appointed by John Reeves and thy self And seeing that those whom you appoint are not fit for that Work thou hast as much as in thee lieth excluded all the Ministers Messengers and Ambassadors of Christ from the work of the Ministry take notice of that And all may behold thy presumption folly and how thou art confuted ensnared and taken in thy own craftiness at which thou maist blush for evermore be ashamed of Silence deceit and Deceiver let truth stop thy mouth and all such Tit. 1.11 By what hath been said it is evident and remains certainly true 1. That John Reeves and Lodowick Muggleton are not the two Witnesses spoken of Rev. 11.3 neither are they in any thing like unto them 2. That the New-Covenant which Christ Jesus is the Mediator of is establish'd upon better promises then the old Covenant was 3. That That the Ministry of the Gospel is a more excellent Ministry 4. That the Priesthood of Christ or the Ministry of the Gospel is an unchangeable Priesthood or Ministry 5 That Christ the Saints High Priest Mediator of the New-covenant is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him because he ever liveth to make intercession for them 6. That none who are appointed by John Reeves and Lodowick Muggleton ought to officiate the office of a Minister Messenger or Ambassador of Christ because all who are appointed by John Reeves and Lodowick Muggleton to the Work of the Ministry are very unfit
