do_v this_o power_n which_o god_n have_v give_v i_o any_o way_n dishonour_n or_o disthrone_v christ_n of_o his_o office_n of_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a for_o god_n do_v do_v much_o like_a unto_o a_o earthly_a king_n for_o though_o a_o king_n be_v the_o chief_a judge_n of_o those_o kingdom_n which_o he_o be_v king_n of_o yet_o he_o do_v commissionate_a some_o particular_a man_n to_o be_v chief_a judge_n to_o be_v in_o his_o stead_n though_o the_o king_n do_v commissionate_a many_o more_o judge_n yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o particular_a in_o every_o kingdom_n which_o be_v call_v lord_n chief_a justice_n of_o england_n scotland_n or_o ireland_n these_o be_v three_o distinct_a kingdom_n they_o have_v three_o distinct_a particular_a person_n which_o be_v call_v chief_a judge_n and_o they_o be_v so_o by_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n beside_o all_o other_o judge_n yet_o you_o see_v that_o the_o king_n though_o he_o be_v chief_a judge_n of_o all_o his_o kingdom_n yet_o he_o seldom_o or_o never_o act_v in_o judgement_n himself_o but_o do_v leave_v it_o to_o those_o which_o he_o have_v commissionated_a for_o that_o purpose_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n though_o christ_n which_o be_v god_n and_o man_n be_v king_n of_o heaven_n and_o chief_a judge_n both_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n in_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a matter_n yet_o he_o by_o commission_n do_v choose_v some_o particular_a person_n to_o be_v chief_a judge_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o moses_n be_v choose_v chief_a judge_n and_o samuel_n and_o elijah_n and_o elisha_n and_o divers_a other_o prophet_n which_o do_v govern_v israel_n that_o be_v chief_a judge_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n at_o that_o time_n as_o there_o must_v also_o be_v one_o particular_a man_n that_o must_v be_v highpriest_n so_o likewise_o peter_n be_v the_o chief_a apostle_n and_o so_o chief_a judge_n so_o that_o some_o particular_a man_n must_v be_v chief_a in_o all_o place_n of_o trust_n whether_o it_o be_v under_o a_o earthly_a king_n or_o under_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n yet_o no_o dishonour_n nor_o disthroning_a either_o of_o they_o both_o so_o the_o god_n and_o king_n of_o heaven_n have_v choose_v john_n reeve_n and_o myself_o he_o have_v commissionated_a i_o to_o be_v his_o messenger_n minister_n or_o ambassador_n in_o his_o stead_n to_o set_v life_n and_o death_n before_o man_n even_o as_o moses_n do_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o as_o man_n and_o woman_n do_v receive_v it_o they_o shall_v have_v life_n eternal_a abide_n in_o they_o and_o some_o can_v witness_v it_o at_o this_o day_n and_o as_o man_n and_o woman_n do_v despise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o truth_n declare_v by_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o have_v the_o sentence_n and_o seal_v of_o eternal_a death_n abide_v in_o they_o and_o many_o can_v witness_v that_o in_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o will_v not_o yet_o some_o few_o to_o my_o knowledge_n have_v be_v force_v to_o do_v it_o through_o the_o terror_n of_o soul_n but_o however_o it_o be_v not_o the_o fewness_n of_o they_o that_o do_v receive_v it_o nor_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o that_o despise_v it_o do_v make_v i_o question_v ever_o the_o more_o the_o truth_n of_o my_o commission_n and_o though_o christ_n be_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a judge_n in_o that_o he_o can_v raise_v man_n and_o woman_n again_o and_o give_v the_o possession_n both_o of_o eternal_a happiness_n and_o eternal_a misery_n according_a to_o that_o sentence_n which_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n do_v pass_v upon_o they_o in_o this_o life_n so_o that_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v make_v chief_a jugdes_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n we_o do_v no_o way_n dis-throne_n christ_n of_o his_o office_n no_o more_o than_o the_o chief_a judge_n of_o england_n do_v dis-throne_n the_o king_n in_o that_o his_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n will_v bear_v he_o out_o he_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o his_o commission_n so_o be_v it_o with_o i_o god_n have_v make_v i_o chief_a judge_n of_o man_n spiritual_a and_o eternal_a estate_n what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o after_o death_n and_o i_o go_v and_o judge_v according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o my_o commission_n i_o do_v no_o way_n dishonour_v my_o king_n but_o honour_v he_o in_o that_o i_o be_o faithful_a to_o that_o trust_n which_o god_n have_v entrust_v i_o with_o and_o i_o be_o very_a well_o satisfy_v in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o yet_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o know_v though_o i_o do_v own_o myself_o the_o chief_a judge_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n yet_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o true_a believer_n of_o this_o commission_n be_v a_o judge_n as_o well_o as_o i_o myself_o and_o may_v upon_o occasion_n when_o they_o meet_v with_o despise_v spirit_n curse_v they_o to_o eternity_n if_o their_o say_v be_v strong_a enough_o to_o bear_v they_o up_o so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o doubt_v for_o if_o any_o shall_v pass_v the_o sentence_n upon_o another_o and_o doubt_v the_o influence_n of_o that_o sentence_n will_v return_v back_o again_o to_o themselves_o this_o i_o have_v see_v in_o some_o believer_n of_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n some_o again_o of_o the_o believer_n have_v be_v so_o strong_a in_o their_o faith_n that_o the_o sentence_n which_o they_o have_v pass_v upon_o despise_v spirit_n it_o have_v have_v as_o great_a effect_n upon_o they_o it_o be_v pass_v upon_o as_o i_o have_v and_o rather_o great_a so_o that_o every_o believer_n of_o this_o commission_n who_o faith_n be_v strong_a be_v a_o judge_n as_o well_o as_o i_o though_o not_o chief_a judge_n but_o if_o people_n faith_n be_v weak_a and_o not_o strong_a enough_o to_o bear_v they_o out_o in_o it_o i_o do_v not_o tie_v they_o to_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o i_o can_v wish_v they_o be_v all_o so_o strong_a that_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v meet_v with_o every_o where_o where_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v know_v and_o believe_v and_o as_o the_o king_n of_o earth_n have_v many_o judge_n in_o his_o kingdom_n yet_o but_o one_o chief_a judge_n in_o l_o ke_v manner_n be_v it_o with_o god_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n he_o have_v many_o judge_n of_o despise_a spirit_n in_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a thing_n yet_o but_o one_o chief_a judge_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n be_v chief_a judge_n in_o their_o time_n yet_o the_o believer_n of_o they_o be_v saint_n and_o so_o judge_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o earth_n nay_o say_v paul_n know_v you_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v judge_v angel_n what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v you_o that_o be_v believer_n of_o our_o gospel_n you_o shall_v be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o faith_n to_o judge_v wise_a and_o prudent_a angel-like_o man_n in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o reason_n which_o come_v from_o the_o fall_v angel_n seed_n and_o nature_n endue_v with_o pierce_a rational_a godlike_a wisdom_n therefore_o call_v angel_n these_o be_v those_o angel_n which_o the_o saint_n in_o paul_n time_n shall_v judge_v so_o be_v it_o now_o with_o i_o i_o be_v chief_a judge_n in_o these_o last_o day_n i_o have_v judge_v many_o wise_a luciferian_n angel-like_o spirit_n within_o this_o twelve_o year_n and_o so_o have_v some_o of_o the_o believer_n in_o this_o time_n judge_v many_o of_o these_o angel_n they_o may_v be_v call_v angel_n because_o they_o be_v of_o the_o serpent_n angel_n seed_n and_o have_v the_o high_a wisdom_n of_o reason_n in_o they_o which_o their_o fall_a estate_n will_v afford_v but_o the_o weak_a and_o simple_a seed_n of_o faith_n must_v be_v their_o judge_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v clear_a to_o the_o reader_n that_o understand_v that_o all_o true_a believer_n of_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v judge_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n spiritual_a and_o eternal_a estate_n what_o shall_v become_v of_o they_o after_o death_n yet_o none_o to_o be_v chief_a judge_n but_o myself_o 2._o the_o second_o thing_n be_v to_o show_v that_o i_o do_v go_v by_o as_o certain_a a_o rule_n as_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n do_v when_o as_o they_o give_v judgement_n according_a to_o law_n to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n they_o have_v a_o commission_n first_o from_o the_o king_n to_o be_v judge_n 2._o they_o have_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n 3._o they_o must_v be_v man_n suppose_v to_o know_v the_o law_n 4._o according_a to_o the_o know_a law_n the_o judge_n give_v

neither_o say_v that_o dorothy_n carter_n nor_o no_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n can_v or_o aught_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o prophet_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n there_o be_v none_o in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n but_o myself_o answer_n who_o do_v you_o blind_a quaker_n think_v shall_v be_v the_o judge_n of_o a_o prophet_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n be_v not_o a_o true_a prophet_n the_o law_n giver_n and_o ought_v not_o every_o one_o to_o submit_v unto_o his_o law_n have_v not_o a_o prophet_n a_o prerogative_n power_n as_o a_o king_n have_v do_v not_o a_o true_a prophet_n stand_v in_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n room_n as_o a_o ambassador_n do_v in_o the_o place_n of_o a_o earthly_a king_n and_o shall_v those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o king_n go_v to_o try_v whether_o the_o king_n law_n be_v good_a or_o just_a nay_o those_o that_o be_v the_o king_n friend_n ought_v not_o to_o try_v whether_o the_o king_n law_n or_o declaration_n be_v just_a because_o his_o friend_n happiness_n lie_v in_o yield_a obedience_n unto_o it_o and_o if_o his_o friend_n ought_v not_o to_o try_v the_o king_n much_o less_o his_o enemy_n so_o i_o say_v though_o dorothy_n carter_n be_v a_o friend_n to_o the_o prophet_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o her_o power_n neither_o be_v it_o for_o she_o to_o try_v the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o prophet_n but_o to_o submit_v unto_o the_o doctrine_n and_o power_n of_o a_o prophet_n for_o therein_o lie_v she_o and_o all_o other_o safety_n and_o whereas_o you_o say_v that_o i_o have_v exclude_v dorothy_n carter_n and_o all_o other_o man_n upon_o earth_n from_o salvation_n i_o do_v here_o testify_v that_o she_o be_v one_o of_o the_o bless_a of_o the_o lord_n with_o many_o other_o in_o the_o world_n at_o this_o day_n though_o i_o will_v not_o allow_v dorothy_n carter_n nor_o no_o other_o to_o have_v power_n to_o try_v a_o true_a prophet_n doctrine_n though_o they_o be_v believer_n of_o it_o that_o do_v not_o exclude_v they_o from_o salvation_n but_o give_v they_o the_o more_o assurance_n of_o it_o in_o that_o they_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v try_v by_o a_o prophet_n and_o his_o doctrine_n therefore_o i_o do_v exclude_v d●rothy_n carter_n and_o all_o man_n upon_o earth_n in_o point_n of_o trial_n or_o judgement_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o prophet_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n as_o i_o have_v and_o if_o those_o of_o the_o same_o truth_n with_o a_o prophet_n may_v not_o try_v a_o prophet_n

that_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n reserve_v a_o pardon_v power_n in_o themselves_o beside_o what_o they_o give_v to_o their_o judge_n but_o this_o i_o must_v say_v to_o you_o that_o it_o be_v very_o seldom_o know_v that_o a_o earthly_a king_n have_v any_o pardon_v power_n in_o himself_o for_o such_o traitor_n that_o act_n treason_n against_o the_o king_n person_n this_o i_o suppose_v all_o

have_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n even_o against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o pardon_n in_o god_n himself_o not_o for_o you_o no_o more_o than_o there_o be_v for_o cain_n that_o slay_v abel_n nor_o judas_n that_o betray_v christ_n if_o these_o be_v save_v than_o you_o shall_v and_o remember_v

you_o be_v tell_v so_o by_o the_o last_o true_a prophet_n but_o if_o earthly_a king_n do_v pardon_v any_o traitor_n it_o be_v because_o some_o other_o person_n in_o great_a power_n do_v petition_n or_o intercede_v to_o the_o king_n for_o he_o and_o so_o perhaps_o the_o king_n for_o some_o end_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o may_v save_v his_o life_n but_o keep_v he_o in_o prison_n all_o day_n of_o his_o life_n so_o that_o this_o can_v not_o proper_o be_v call_v a_o pardon_v power_n except_o he_o free_o forgive_v he_o and_o raise_v he_o up_o to_o the_o same_o honour_n which_o he_o have_v before_o but_o you_o quaker_n have_v no_o such_o friend_n to_o intercede_v for_o you_o to_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n now_o you_o be_v condemn_v by_o his_o messenger_n for_o christ_n will_v not_o intercede_v for_o you_o for_o you_o have_v deny_v he_o before_o man_n in_o that_o you_o deny_v that_o flesh_n and_o bone_n which_o he_o suffer_v death_n in_o and_z rise_v again_o in_o the_o same_o flesh_n and_o bone_n and_o ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o do_v now_o remain_v there_o in_o that_o same_o body_n only_o it_o be_v spiritualise_v and_o glorify_a body_n yet_o a_o body_n this_o i_o say_v you_o quaker_n do_v deny_v whatsoever_o you_o may_v prattle_v and_o talk_v of_o a_o christ_n yet_o you_o own_v no_o christ_n but_o what_o be_v within_o you_o this_o i_o know_v to_o be_v true_a else_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o j_o alous_a against_o those_o people_n more_o than_o other_o but_o for_o this_o very_a thing_n that_o christ_n will_v never_o intercede_v for_o pardon_v for_o you_o quaker_n that_o be_v condemn_v by_o i_o yet_o this_o i_o shall_v say_v if_o it_o will_v please_v you_o that_o if_o i_o be_v a_o false_a prophet_n and_o witness_n as_o you_o say_v i_o be_o than_o i_o say_v that_o curse_n which_o i_o have_v pass_v upon_o you_o and_o many_o other_o i_o say_v let_v it_o be_v all_o upon_o i_o and_o you_o shall_v all_o go_v free_a but_o if_o i_o be_v true_a as_o i_o know_v i_o be_o there_o be_v no_o possibility_n for_o you_o nor_o other_o to_o escape_v i_o can_v say_v no_o more_o in_o this_o thing_n but_o shall_v leave_v it_o to_o christ_n the_o judge_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a to_o give_v i_o my_o reward_n according_a as_o i_o have_v be_v faithful_a in_o the_o commission_n which_o he_o have_v put_v upon_o i_o again_o it_o be_v not_o with_o earthly_a king_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n for_o many_o time_n earthly_a king_n have_v their_o pardon_v power_n and_o their_o condemn_v power_n which_o they_o have_v in_o themselves_o take_v away_o from_o they_o and_o so_o do_v stand_v in_o need_n of_o pardon_n themselves_o and_o so_o all_o those_o judge_n which_o have_v their_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n be_v worth_a nothing_o because_o another_o power_n have_v overcome_v he_o and_o have_v take_v it_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n so_o that_o earthly_a king_n do_v sometime_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o pardon_n and_o mercy_n themselves_o for_o a_o earthly_a power_n do_v stand_v no_o long_o then_o till_o a_o strong_a than_o he_o do_v overcome_v he_o as_o may_v be_v read_v concern_v the_o king_n
