A94559	Theauraujohn Tani his Second part of his Theous-ori apokolipikal, or, God's light declared in mysteries for which epistles I was six months falsly imprisoned, as by judgement of my Lord Chief Justice Rolls, and the rest of his brethren the judges upon the upper bench is declared : and what I have written I will maintain against all the learned men in the world : and I challenge the whole universities and their adherents to answer the books, if they be able, or to a fair dispute before the people, and if none dare appear, then I conclude that they are in the dark, and dare not come to the light / wrote by me Magi Tani Est.	Tany, Thomas, fl. 1649-1655.; Tany, Thomas, fl. 1649-1655. Theauraujohn his Theousori apokolipikal.	1653 (1653)	Wing T156; ESTC R38281	102,103	101

and woman them names and spelling and much invention of man interwoven in the named Scripture Now the word of God written upon the soul that is the Scriptum est that is it is written in the Spirit what is that that is written it is this holiness unto the Lord written in thy soul by tha finger of God that is it that shall stand thee in stead and not what is writ in another or by another or what another shall write for let me tell thee O thou man and woman where and when God writes that then the false conception in man or woman ceases which power is in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as he is a Saviour and not in them dead names called Gospel or Scripture that doth only name a name of his saving us but it is his substance without name that doth save us and deliver us So beloved I would not have you deceived with the dead name but the desire of my soul is that you with my owne ingraftement may be placed in the true thing which is God the Lord. Now Beloved I walking and thus acting know that that you in me count blasphemy is a glorious declarative of truth in righteousness from that ingraftment which is Christ in the soul it is greater then your calling the letter the word of God and the holy Gospel of Christ Now let me tell you that though you see and understand it not Paul said and testified what I have declared and prove me in this point a blasphemer and you must prove Paul a blasphemer This I prove I say that the name is not the thing but a sound from the thing a sound is not a substance anso by consequence a Ly● and nothing but an abstract of ayr Paul saith that the better is dead and death killeth What odds is there betwixt Pauls words and mine in this state thus Paul may name or plant and Apollo may water but God giveth the blessing Now if the letter be dead know then all men it is a Ly● I prove it thus Things in death or dead are not lively for or what is dead there is but a name and a name is but a Lye for the substance there is withdrawn into the thing which is the life of all things and the name is but the dead ashes of that appearance Judge ye all people is the name life Is it life as thus to illustrate I say I will give such a thing unto such a one that is but name and it is good to the party when it is done that is received from the giver So all names are a lye till ●one be centred in that named name that is the thing spoken of or promised be wholly really performed unto the promised So you see all names are nothings and when the substance is come the promised name is returned into the acted thing Now draw all into one Maxzim it is thus God is the thing of all things and thing is as proper to denote the excellentest union as any word in any or all languages I tell you it is a higher import in the Ori Abba then JEHOVAH You cannot nor must not tell me though you speak from your received opinion what the highest denotation is in any one Language or Tongue for I know all Tongues and Languages and they are but one lighted life in the VE But brethren know God is the Life and all things are but names issued out from that one Life do but reduce them dead names to the living thing then they are not dead names as they were but living things in the thing that state lies dubious and so it shall stand unrefined yet Now Pauls words were the very same for saith he The letter killeth and the name is dead but the word of God abideth for ever turning all things and planting and transplanting all things according to its own pleasure Now the word of God endureth for ever because it is the life on whom all dependances dependeth but death that is all names are but a Lie and nothing but vanity in appearances So you see that a name is not the thing neither is the written insert called the Scripture the word of God for Gods writing is not upon paper but in the heart and spirit of his chosen ones So brethren deceive your selves no longer with that dead Idol of your own making for it is good in its place if a seeing eye enlightned do view it he values it at the true value for brethren our not being our selves makes us see double and that double fight overthrowes our true valuation for that that is good in his own place by our esteem of it it doth thereby become a God unto us for what man over values or over-esteems it is his Idol and by consequence his God Let me speak in the days of our vanity how many Gods have we sacrificed unto Now the shortest way to give a definition to the Querie it is this what have we not sacrificed unto Do not mistake me the sacrificing unto is this It is obedience unto that that is not God as thus I esteem Gold my love is drawn unto nay into it what will not I do that that God will not reward me for Because every God doth seemingly promise reward for every God doth give himself if adored to the person adoring Or thus again I worship Honour how do I idolize that God that will but procure me Honour for Honour is the God I look to be rewarded with Though man goes many ways unto his God yet the end he counts his safe centre and the centre is the end and so a God One more thus God the great Creator of heaven and earth is he unto whom all obedience is due Now he that doth give that due that is onely due unto God alone unto any creature or creatures it is to deny God his Creator his Royal pre-eminence Now this sacrifice doth every man in his dark condition as the Apostle saith Such were we in times past when we lived in the lusts of our own desire fulfilling our envious mindes in all lustfulness But now minde here is that that destroys all but here comes the separating power of breaking asunder our connexion that is Gods Word coming in power But when the mercifulness of God our Saviour appeared not through the righteousness that we had done but minde of his free mercy he saved us by renewing 〈…〉 our souls the new birth whereby they and we and all that are enlightned are renewed by the principle of obedience that is lust is cast forth and obedience is planted and set upon the right object that is upon God and then it acts righteousness and righteously O beloved you high account of the name Gospel and Christians it is the name that is the cause of your greater loss for the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is this DONE in our souls or spirits we doing unto others from that gift which is Gods

centre and not to be found out Now let me speak if all Languages can finde him out or all Arrs or all Sciences or Earth Aire Fire or Water I shall reach him if he can be found Non ocare in acaos in re Here is another state more harder then the other let me tell you The light in knowledge doth finde out the Devil or the true knowledge doth out the Devil but to open the fore-cited state it is thus the English minde all you curious quick wits while I define unto you this deceivng Devil the English of the stated Greek maxim is this Not the lightest in confusion in the thing Sed oculus in ve alli nen But the eye in life sees no Devil or darkness but it is a severation from light that is a composure of dark and seeming light and this is Hell or Devil Quando in operati avaret nel medad al in re sem addi aal oli abbit sole toro o●abit al beneam sabat The English is this When in work he varieth then the eye sees the Cave or Hell but the high thing sees no Devil but himself for he and his sight sees no evil or darkness or devil Solat arry absadet ve The English is this The safe strength evadeth the Lye I have gone thus far in this scarch and cannot finde a composed Devil that is a substance and that substance a place of residence Quoas amalum sarbat alu alaous in amarere semer allat vel nede mem in re sabat altra nebat The English is How or why doth light discover the Lye Why it is the beauty of his owne transcendencie The darkness is a shade for light Wherein it doth it self delight Thus if truely understood Then the Devil is viewed But to let the state downe thus God in his Essence before he came forth in created appearances was all light and Gods vailing himself in earthly appearances hath eclipsed as it were to the heighth of our expression his glory in his Essential Essence in his created derivative appearances so that the light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehendeth not the light but the light illustrating causes a banishment of darkness then there is no Devil not Death but a dayly Resurrection in glory into the pure and divine being which is God in and with us a derivative yet one in the all light Essencie which is Teri-al But to come to state this envy Devil and man all in one Trine thus man is the Devil thus the Spirit in man is the Devil and that by reason of the abstract it was abstracted from it is quick and fugitive and lusteth to envy nay t is envy and envy is the Devil Semus in ar I-in-e it is the alone lustful deceit in man for know whatsoever centereth not in God is a Devil for in the reducement there is as the whole Church called in England for know it is but a called Church and call is but a Ly and not the thing they all hold only that in the reducement that we must go either to Heaven or Hell unto God or unto the Devil and these two are as it were Paymasters as God the Father of mercy and the Devil the Father of envy Now you that are not in God ye must be and are in the Devil thus the Devils Trine made and upheld thus the Spirit of man is mans proper all thus it is the life of man as he is natural man until that spiritual light hath made it one by inlightning it and so it obeying that light there is an union made in one and so all one in union with that glorious Essence it was descended from for the darkness is unvailed and light hath caused obedience so that the day and night are both one and night is gone in that clear day Now the Devil his Trine is thus the Devil is the Serpentine Spirit in man that opposeth the light of God and while that Spirit is uncast forth man is wholly ruled by the lusts of the Devil and his acts are in darkness in all deceivea bleness in unrighteousness for Satan and he is one Minde Chirsts words to Peter Get thee behinde me Satan then Peter was the Devil acting in that dark Spirit or dark light Now how can it be properly said to be a dark light thus the light is life and the darkness is death therefore where darkness resides in predominacie then a dark light but the word runs thus they shall be cast into utter darkness Quande avalet armi assem pele avaret axzi pele Ethrati leget almae amaset doly The English is this But the state is dark for it is the denotation of Hell and you hold it all of you to be dark then minde this is a dark state for it is Greek because the major language lies in the Greek tongue and the other languages are but conjuncts to the Greek and from the Greek tongue this great deceivable Devil was clustrated though what he is and where he dwels all men that have said they have been Christs Embassadours could never define to this day Now I English the dark fore-cited state mind When the contrary receives strength the light is eclipsed and the light increasing darkness vanisheth away and flyeth in his airy Kingdome of which Kingdome he the Devil is Lord predominate for the light causes his combinement to his airy Region Now to be Priest-like as you call him though the holiness in all men I honour and holiness in man or men that is the true Priest and not prating man but holy acts from the true root that is a demonstration that the true Priest dwels there minde these words for ye shall all be Kings and Priests unto God but he that nameth Christ must depart from every evil way Now you say man cannot think a good thought then know he cannot turne from his evil way it is granted but to come close where the evil way is not departed from that man hath but prated and never heard Christ preach in them words are included both the called Priests and people for if the Priest be not turned he prateth Christ never preacheth in him and Christ never sent none but he preached in him first and by their voice they sounded forth to the people all this is nothing yet for the Devil may and doth speak as high in expressing words of godliness as any in light can do but when you come to search the root it is but a sound and not a doing or reforming to that that was spoken for Brethren until you are doers you are Devils and lyers I will give you one more It is not he that heareth my words saith our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ but he that doth my will that man or woman or both are my Disciples but the same that the Spirit did denote to my brother John the Baptist the same confer I unto your capacity to judge of upon whom thou

mite nay halfe mite nay minute of time nay it is not to be defined in truths rule it is so short Non statis in ko saluat seabbris segat aluat hoi-sele mem The time is so short that I cannot state it for time is and it is time and for a nothing that is man is nothing and for nothing to state a time in a center it cannot be for the center is time and time is the center here is wisdom to the wise and understanding to the prudent time is time is not not is time and time is not now times are two and times are one not two times but one and that onely one In trinas in re that is three in one thing O Beloved if ye perceive any thing in me that is light know that it is this That I know the Land shall be destroyed therefore I beseech you that fear the Lord humble your selves and walk low in love for the time of vengeance hastens O a fire is coming I tremble to hear thereof therefore walk humbly before God that in the evil day you may escape as brands plucked out of the fire Brethren what I say unto you I practice in my owne person for abstenance and sorrow are my companions crying to God for my peoples gathering and my complaint unto my God is this O Lord thou hast made me naked before this people and hast caused terrible things to be declared when I was not my self but know that mad men so mad fools your owne proverb is oft-speak truth I have cryed in the streets I have declared what I have received yet who among you is departed from his evil waies my heart panteth and my spirit faileth and is weary because I see such small turnings unto God by obedience O Beloved that you were not more stupid then the beasts in your understanding you might easily perceive that if there be any God as by many mens and womens living they declare that there is not else they would not nor durst not do now as they do in this time of deceit O shall not the Lord throw downe his wrath in his fury and anger upon this hypocritical this all-tongue Nation But O people deeds of mercy is not amongst ye for the Lord hath looked from heaven and behold nothing but oppression is found in her Now know O England that thou art but a scourge to others to be scourged for scourging O ye that fear the Lord happy are ye for when destruction comes upon the World then even then is the time of your rejoycing for the righteous shall rejoyce when he seeth the vengeance coming Now we that fear the Lord are now dead but in afflictions then we live so beloved unto you poor dejected ones am I sent with the Olive-leaf of peace even unto you who are the precious ones in the sight of the Lord though in low esteem in the world nay necessity so overpowreth you that many of you want bread O this wanting bread in our Nation doth declare we live but in the name Gospel for refreshing the poor and releiving the needy this is the Gospels true thing for which my soul mournes in secret to hear and see the name Gospel cryed so high and doing which is the true Gospels not owned amongst us O what a dishonour is it to the Gospel that amongst us care is not taken to supply the poor Now I will show you the reason it is this every man being a Gospel unto himself that is the cause I prove it thus if thou did once owne Christs words to be Gospel then thy self Gospel is cast forth but thou ownest thy owne Gospel that is thy owne self-will to be the truest Gospel and so Christ and his Gospel is cast forth for thou sayest Christ shall not reign over thee by thy actions in plain English words thou declarest no less therefore brethren I beseech you every one of you free your selves from this high deceit and set to your seals that it is true for doing is a seal unto others what the Lord by his Spirit hath done in thee try whether thy walking and actions be ruled by Christs prescript or writing which thou callest the word of God now if thou actest contrary thou art word and Gospel and God unto thy self for his ye are to whom ye obey one thing I will state clear to you wise ones the point is this you say that the Bible and the New Testament they are the word of God I say you belye them in saying so for know if Gods word were of no more power and force in it self then it is in the insert or Testament I say you are a greater word and a God then that is I prove it thus that that you say is Gods word commands obedience unto something you in actions act contrary how can this be Gods word that cannot over-power you I pray you minde Now you are Gods word for the greatest strength that is Gods word and your strength commands that that is there commanded and you act freely your owne will now let all judge whether that you be not a greater word then that you calls Gods word nay you make it a Lye and become a God unto your selves Let all people judge now for you to acknowledge that writing to be Gods word and you are not reformed by that word I tell you you make God a Lyer thus God saith that his word is life and you say you know it to be so why then knowledge in truth of that word it is life unto all that it is commanded unto but it is death to thee because thou hast taken the bare notional name and unto thee was the word never sent in power which is the communicated thing Now let me speak unto you here is the difference Christ saith I am the door the way and the life Christ saith I am the eternal word now what is this unto any man until Christ be become thus unto us I tell you we are before he come and abide with us we are unclean spirits witches and sorcerers deceivers for we would climbe over another way then Christ hath taught us I am the door saith Christ but your actions answer for you you will go in another way that is by the power of your owne strength This is every namer and national gatherer in the whole world which is cast forth at Christs owne appearing and then all that you counted gain unto you is become loss unto you through the excellency that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. O that ye did but know what this Lord Jesus Christ is or that you could bear my knowledge in the thing El massah arkad axsi sephraim aspah salma oni pele labat arbattha koersim semar axsi The English to what it will bear God the Saviour is onely strong and omnipotent in every thing and he alone is the restorer of himself in the whole creation in appearances for this end

figtree for ye are full of beautious leaves of expression but come to the fruit ye are Devils in action Now you count the expression strange but it it is true therefore to be owned by you if you will do the Devils work be not ashamed of your Masters name now here you will use my owne method and say that the name is not the thing and that the Masters name is not the servants thing Now comes the plaine definition thus God is light that light is love now man in love he is in that light and that light is Christ and Christ is God now is not this a clear apparant truth Now as God is light the Devil he is but darkness to that light now in darkness is hatred and hatred is the Devil and hate being in man predominate he is Satan or Apollyon but these words will not carry the intention of our English word Devil if we would but let that word stand in name but we will have it thing and so we are one with that Apollyon or Abaddon which you say is the English Devil but the intendant out-runs the name quite out so brethren God and man make a declared truth Devil and man make a declared Lye Now what is that Devil and man for why it is to set forth the glory in created appearances though the Devil was never created nor made it is we that make him a creation and judge ye how great creators we worms and dust are things are greater in esteem then many times in truth they are But I pass now let me tell you the balance is come to weigh this Nation and Mene Tekel is found upon its basis or in hebrew Orbus kabus all ah The English is Thou art not weight in the highest ballance or in the center weight thy people are a vaine people trusting in the name but the knowledge in the thing is not in them Bealah arki peal ardi neset doni The English is this Thou art high in name but in me saith the Lord thou art not found for then love was the connexing thy joynts or members one to another but thou art Quas in tiby allah pealah anvi pean ardi dele mem The English is this Thou art for thy self in every man and self is exalted and Charity cast forth or is made a vagrant amongst us to our shame is this motto inserted upon us by the Spirit of God this saying is strange to you but it is true and you will feel it true if you belong to light as I have found so shall many more to their sharp sorrow but their after joy O Beloved I mourn for you I strive with God for you beseeching him to inlighten you in all spiritual knowledge and understanding blessed be the Lord I can say in a safe conscience as ever Paul could say I have not coveted after no mans gold or silver nor desired any thing of any man or of any of you but onely that life part that my soul thirsts after to see it gathered into union in the celestial center O beloved my soul is ravished with the deliteful delite for when I am poor then am I rich in him who is my riches that is Christ the mercy and strength of God Brethren ye and to ye onely I speak that are passed the Apostolical teaching and are come into the Evangelical living Allah all ah allah hoei selma amaseret one peon alpha haggarim semam in re ex al olo on The English of this hebrew state is to what the English will bear O the light the light the light of peace is in the Evanglical thing that is in God when we have passed these beggerly rudiments Apostolical which are dead names pointing us to the Evangelical living in God for if Christ be come you are no longer in the dead name but you are risen in the life of Christ into his body that is Evangelical Minde the Apostles words We are dead and our life his hid with Christ in God Behold here is the greatest mystery in the world men living speaking the height of the Gospel as you call it and these men are dead the same condition is every true new-borne man and woman in for our life is not in our selves nor in this body of dung nor in things below that is to say these beggerly rudiments or elements motional but our life is in God the Evangelical caller and gatherer of his people into himself and for this cause God did send forth his Spirit in men to converse with that self same Spirit in men that their conversing by his power are turn 〈…〉 to converting unto this end God made some Apostles some Pastors some Ministers and teachers some Evangelists and all was but the union of one Spirit in its efficacious varieties So now Brethren the same work is God a bringing about now in England and all Lands and it lies included in these Prophetick words of expression I the Lord will gather her I have cast 〈◊〉 off and she shall rebefore me as in the daies of old Brethren this is the gathering the Church of the Jewes for whom I The auraujohn and the rest of my brethren the Lord hath made fishers for to gather the people into a figurative figure of the Evangelical building therefore the foundation of the Jewes Church Evangeli 〈…〉 is laid here even in this house and the Lord my God adde unto it dayly thy increase of blessing the place may remove but the people cannot be shaken for God the Lord he is the Evangelical center so this meeting hath been the gathering the Church of the Jewes and the Jewes Church is the true name So you that are ashamed of the name of the Jewes see me nor hear me no more Sebat allah am R. Theauranjohn Taniour high Priest Epistle 15. Wrote at Eltham DEarly beloved Brethren God is love and know that he that acts in love doth act in God Now I beseech you mind how can it properly be said for man to act in God Thus it is if radically understood the Spirit of God in man being predominate that Spirit is in union with God in Essence though it be for a time a derivacie Now the Querie would be resolved thus God is love how is God love Thus God is love His fulness is a filling every want and necessity in the whole Creation that is by distilling acts of courpassionate refreshments to every distinct of his or of himself Now let me speak thus man is the Image of God in the earthly form not of the earthly form the distinction lies in these two words IN and OF Now beloved to come close unto the matter of the main concernment it is this that if you are not in God then you are in the Devil Now know that there is but light and darkness in the whole Creation now God he is the light the death or darkness is the called Devil Now what is God I answer

but that they hold is a mear Fancinated thing from that local place fained Purgatory Reme●el Salu in re The English Mind the height of the Declarative doth undation the search but this expression from the Tongue you understand not but this The high notation of hell doth unbottom it Thus that that hath such a high and great name that causes fear t is Darkness and darkness is not knowledge now that that is not known cannot have a senter and that that hath no senter cannot have a being for if a being it must be in God I prove it thus God is the being of all beings and they refined returne to their senter from whence was their original fountain Now this Hell or Locallity of place I desire all the English Clargy with their Essence Cleargy that is Romes called Priests For brethren you are but Romes derivacie and Romes derivacy is from the Greek Tongue and the called Testament in which Testament is many snares and feares to uphold the Popes supremacy and their and your trade of lies and this Local Hell and the Devil are the fearful constellations from whence ye furiously Thunder to make men afraid that you may thereby strengthen your selves by the peoples submssion unto you and that Whore learning that you have set up Now Priests in short I desire to know how you came by your Apostolical calling for you to say you are Priests and are of the Apostolical Institution that I shall try and leave it to the people to judge of whether ye are so or no If it prove you are not then are ye Blasphemers and that Harlots locust that hath deceived the Nations And the first Maxim I do lay down to prove it by is this Hos se ad me nelle one Sem albat ar o●au s●on hassbu●p●loct adba deleous in re This is the English Maxim to the height it will bear all People minde for I am putting a leaver into the Priests roots to unbottom them from that Lye called Apostolical Calling which they hold Juri divino Brethren ye Priests here is a deep search making into your Roo●s or bottoms now comes the English from the hebrew citation that is this I pray you minde How slew the apostolical fore seeing to ye named Priests and the world never heard of it This is one state in that Maxim there is two more Sates in that Sitation Now Schollars is it not strange that from one abstract of Language to read in English three States as an Affermative and a Negative and both their derivatives in one intire Essence The second State though negative read is affermative I Theauraujohn Eval alsiel do declare that ye Priests are lyers and deceivers neither have you any thing to do in or with the Apostolical function for ye are not anointed by God as all and every one of his true Messengers were and are This I know by what the Lord hath made know unto me Now if you are what you say and would have us so to esteem you so your Derivative must be the Cords binding us up unto that beliefe which must be Miracles Signes and Wonders for thus you must be Witnesses of his second Comming then you know it must be in greater appearances in glorious manifestation this you cannot deny Brethren ye Priests I do not come to flatter you but to hew and out you up by the roots Another quere I desire that the Clargy may answer What peace or reconciliation hath issued from your called Gospell in Europe but woful murdering one another for your prating and lying quarrels If yee were Ministers of the Gospel then peace would follow your declarings but who more ready then the Priests to ingage the people one against another for your owne Hellish ends O that God would be pleased to open the eyes of our States that they would but look into the Clargies black bottom from whence our misery arises for there cannot be peace in England till that Caterpillar locust be swept out of the place of Regency Now Priests you will run to the Secular power and there lies your Cab●● of strength to uphold you you say such men are Blasphemers and cry out upon them and then to the Majestrate to help you to hold up your Trade Now know that can be no Gospel That must be upheld by a humane Law But it is the Lye in the whole earth For the Gospel is Love and then no Law But the Law makes it a trade and the Law is your strength Now shew me how many Converts did your Master Christ inforce into his Conregation by a humane Law but love was the tying Cord that bound his together The Law is an inforcement to Idolatry but not to the Gospel because the Gospel is Love Now Priests I shall desire no favour at your hands but that we may come before the State and People and if I do not prove your Calling a trade of Lyes and deceit I will be content to suffer for my aspersing you If so it be found but I must not have Priests to accuse and Priests to judge this is not with the priviledge nor liberty nor freedome of our Nation For the Bishops are gone and I Theauraujohn say that the Cleargy shall not long stand therefore your rage is great ye Priests I pray you tell me how many sides and turnings would you take so that at last you might but turn in your own designe all that can be Imagined One more how came you to have your holy Calling conferred unto you I deny any man can confer the holy gift or holy anointing from Generation to Generation sixteen hundred year and more together This I answer If man can confer Gods gift I affirm he is as great nay greater then God himself I prove it thus God gave his Spirit in fulness to Christ being the first in the Trine descending in Vive Vosa the Apostles they were indued with the same Spirit but not in that full measure These Misteries no man under heaven knowes yet but that light in me who is the true discoverer of his owne secret intendants One more Ye Priests that have dranw unto you a congregated companie called members of a Church nay you would be called the Church Apostolical or according to the Apostolical institution Now I deny any man to be a Priest according to the Apostolical institution as for the desidement I refer to the juditious people to Judge of Now I say that there was not nor is not any true visible Church Select in any visible appearance since the Apstles time Thus there is true members but not a true gathered Church Apostolical in that you are deceived thus and in this ye take the name of their words but the power that did recead and accompany them words is retracted and hath been since that Revolution of the Apostles for that manifestation was confermed for the bringing in the Heathen to the acknowledgment of God and was

confirmed by miracles singes and wonders Then the Spirit did detract as of the detraction Christs death was the figure Now I will shew you what a Church Apostolical was and is the people are gathered by the Spirit of God by which Spirit they are made a seeing and a discerning people Then the Priest ought to be the discerning East and the seeing East of them people then that is a Head and Members of which temporal figure Christ and the Evangelical Spirits is the truth in the true senter in Perfection As Moses was commanded See thou make them like the pattern I shewed thee in the Mount Know he must be in the Mount with God that doth take his pattern from God in his declarative Them words were wrote long ago and now are comming forth in glory to be made good which is proper to Christs second comming in Visible power in signes and wonders of which declarative I Theauraujohn am the morning light declaring the peaceful tideings at hand Now ye Congregated Priests what a brasen whorish forehead have you put on your selves that you dare assume to your selves the hight of the Apostolical foreknowledge in that you dare act and give and deliver up to Satan Now in this you have declared your selves to be Antichrist in his full lusture in appearances as I shall open plainly before all people First I demand of you in my masters name Jehovab that you do produce your president for the matter of Excommunication for mind where that delivering up to Satan was acted forth by the Apostles in them did the Spirit reside and dwell and rest with them in power of signe and miracle which is not declared neither is in the called Church and called Priests for what is more in you and your Congregated companies then is in Antichrist or that Babilonish whore that is spoken of in Scripture For shee deceived the Nations by her Inchantments Sorceries and Witchcraft which is but thus much I intreat you minde it is this The word confined to men confined to time and confined to place I beseech you to take true notice wat Antichrist is and his Sorceries it is the confining the word to men to time and to place I pray minde but this sitacion that is stated and it will unbottome and Excommunicate all ye Priests from your trade of lies Thus prove your selves to be any more then ye have learned then so far ye are in knowledge yet no Priests for let me tel you ye know not what a Priest is Nor what that word Priest meaneth in his full import a Priest is Gods representative in righteousness that is the Image of God in man that is the Priest now let me tell you all even ye gathered Churches ye shall all be broken and God will gather unto him the holy seed from amongst you into one fold And now for men to assume to be Priests and members when indeed he is no Priest neither they all true members for know that apearances doth make members and doth not make true members in the intendant Church which I deny to you for ye are they that are deceived that have got the dead name but ye are not the true living thing yet ye will take authority to name over men that name and the namer is an abomination before God Therefore I desire you that you would but look into your owne waies and search into the bottom for it is darkness which is develish and ye have grievously sinned and blasphemed in taking and assuming unto your selves that glorious name when that is Gods glorious free gist or ●nointing upon man which is Gods inscrption wrote upon man Holiness to the Lord and from this Institution and ingraftment in the true thing which is Gods mercy Brethren by creation ye Priests ye are exhorsists that take up words and names to name over and upon the people of Christ and his Apostles ye intimate the name thinking by them names to do miracles which is but a meer forged falschood for ye your selves are but the dead name and they the Apostles were the true living thing in the true root That was I may say God in the Bottom or root from whence in strength that Voice had power to cast down and cast forth and raise up this was Gods voice from the root that overthrew all opposition but for man to name them words and the effects not follow it is but Antichrist and a lye Brethren be not deceived you are in no better case then thus you think you are rich and need nothing when in truth you are but a name and poor and blind and naked and yet know not

saluite Te egromene selmat am al sede oli bene am Salu el odi selose in re This is the English of the Connexion abstracted from the true Original O the Wisdome free from evil it is God himself in his Reigning Essence But man is weakness that is evil yet God doth take this weakness into Strength and adorne it with beauty and excellency That is thus much T is letting downe the New Hierusalem whose beauty is so excellent that it turnes all the beholders of it into it self Now I come to Ephata and open the mysterious words which are these I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven
