foundation again after the substance was come much less to be builded upon 2 But now to the second thing and that is Faith toward God and this is to be left also but now what strange Doctrine should we have from the Apostle here if this were meant of the life of Faith that Believers do live here in the world in he must then here overthrow his other Doctrine concerning himself and other believers and that of the Prophet Hab. 2. 4. Rom. 1. 17. Gal. 2. 20. ch 3. 11. Heb. 10. 38. This Exposition overthrows all these with many more for how can it be that we can leave Faith and yet live in it by it c. But that Faith that was to be left was this that the people should no longer wait for the fulfilling those promises of God concerning the sending Christ to fulfil the work of salvation for his people which Promises are frequent in Scripture And the Apostle well knew the Priests and great ones had blinded the people with looking for Christ to come still and that that was not the Christ but a deceiver and therefore it is said that Christ shewed himself alive after his Resurrection by many infallible proofs Act. 1. and here the Apostle takes them off from such waitings and expectations of Christ to come We have also a cleer proof of this Faith Luke 24. 21. but we trusted it had been he that should have redeemed Israel here is a proof of the peoples waiting upon God and trusting which is believing and this is Faith in God or toward God in his Promises which should be fulfilled and when it was fulfilled then they were no longer to wait for it to be done but to go on unto perfection and so look upon this work perfectly done and finished 3 The Doctrine of several baptisms were to be laid aside or left as there were several baptisms and washings used in those times And they were now onely to look after the true and spiritual washing and baptism of the Spirit as he declareth to them chap. 10. 12 having their hearts sprinkled from an evil Conscience and their bodies washed with pure water this was the onely washing the Apostle desired should be aimed at amongst them now the substance was come and all other washings and baptisms that were legal and carnal should all be left as ch 9 10 c. there was no foundation nor footing for any such baptism to be laid again therefore it was to be left all 4 The next thing that was to be left was laying on of hands for when the gifts that followed it were ceased and at an end to what purpose should it be used therefore they are much out now adays that think to ordain men by laying their hands upon them seeing they leave them as they were before for the gifts of the Spirit do not follow now therefore it is but like a dead form where there is no life nor power as in other forms 5 We come now to the fifth thing that was to be left which was of Resurrection from the dead but this cannot be meant the Resurrection of the body which shall be at the end of all time when the Son shall give up the kingdom to the Father and God shall be all in all c. for that shall be the highest perfection that ever creatures shall enjoy therefore the expectation of this Resurrection and the Doctrine thereof shall not be left behinde for we cannot leave the highest perfection behinde and so wait for a higher the word written is cleer for this that this Resurrection is to be earnestly expected and waited for of all that have good hope hereof through the grace of God revealed in them as in Act. 24. 15 16 Phil. 3. 11 12 20. 1 Cor. 15. 1 Thes 4. 13 14 15 16 17 18. Matth. 22. 30 31 32. with many more Now the Apostle bids us here leave these Doctrines and go on to perfection but we are always to wait for the perfection we shall have in the Resurrection for we cannot be past the Resurrection and perfection before we come to it Therefore this is not the Resurrection we are to leave waiting for and go on unto perfection because perfection is here and we are not come to it nor have not yet attained unto it therefore not gone past it nor have we yet been in it nor taken it up nor left it behinde us But now let us consider what Resurrection the Apostle doth here exhort the Hebrews to leave the expectation of and the waiting for the fulfilling It is the Resurrection of Christ from the dead this was the Resurrection that was then past and therefore the people had no ground to look for it to come and therefore they were to leave that Doctrine which did hold forth the Resurrection of Christ to come and they as well as we now were exhorted to look upon the work of Christ perfectly done and Christ risen and become the first fruits unto God c. for there was no perfection of the work till Christ was risen and if Christ had never risen the work had never been perfected but we had still been in our sin 1 Cor. 15. 14. 17 Rom 4. 25. Act. 2. 31. Col. 1. 14 15 18 c. Now if we should wait for this Resurrection any longer we are antichrists with a witness and take Christ for a deceiver as the old Jews did 6 Lastly We come now to speak of eternal judgement that was to be left and here also we must take heed we do not mistake as in the rest of these Doctrines Now as Christ had undertaken to encounter with eternal judgement and had tryed the utmost what the judgement of God could inflict upon him and had born all and satisfied God and so conquered several judgements due to sin and subdued sin death and hell and all enemies that were against us and was risen in token of a full victory over all Now the people were no longer to wait and look for this great work to be done by Christ in time to come but look upon Christ risen and glorifyed and having finished this great work of eternal judgement and so to leave that Doctrine which declared it to come and look upon it perfectly done waiting for the effect of it even the destruction of sin in them But in this sense we are to wait for eternal judgement still which is the effect of Christs conquering eternal judgement and this is the final destruction of the body of sin rooting out and destroying all sin and evil in the elect of God for whstm he hath destroyed and overcome judgement sin death and hell and all enemies And now though we are in Christ more then conquerers yet we see not all enemies destroyed in our own selves yet but we are still in expectation of the destruction of sin and death which is the last enemy that shall be destroyed and so though eternal judgement
during Antichrist's reigne for you have no example so to doe For the Jewes never set up visible worship nor ordinances in any time of Captivity either in Egypt the Wildernesse Babylon or else where but in Jerusalem the place of worship So let us who are the Lords building within waite for the spirituall Jerusalem comming downe from God out of heavens which God will send forth with visible worship and ordinances such as pleaseth him and not as man pleaseth And as we desire of friends to be the habitation of God through the Spirit so let us desire to be more acquainted with the Baptisme of the Spirit which consists in spirituall washing purifying and cleansing our souls and spirits from all filthinesse of flesh and spirit that so in it we may be made partakers of eternall Righteousnesse purity and Holinesse of God and so builded up together an habitation for God and a Temple for the living God to dwell in through the presence of the eternall Spirit in us in spiritual washing and spirituall burning the true and onely Gospel purifying So I rest wishing the day of God may come upon us all that may burne up all our drosse and tynne and may wash and purge us from all our Idols that we may worship God in spirit A few words to every Reader in general Kind Reader consider a few things in Love BE sure those Ordinances you doe owne and set up in your highest affections be of God and not of man for if they be of man then they cannot stand in the day of Triall when God brings them to triall by the Truth 2. Take heed of setting up Ordinances in the kingdome of Antichrist in spirituall Babylon Egypt or Sodome least it be found that you have noe Command nor Example for your soe doing See Rev. 11. 3. Looke that your Administrators be right in their Calling and Qualifications according to the true patterne of the primitive Administrators both in your Ministry and Ordinances least being tried by the word they should be found liars take heed I say of crying up your selves and waies to be Apostolicall least the truth should prove you lyars Rev. 2. 6. 4. Consider this well that the pure way of Gospel-worship that is truly spiritual will never come out of Antichrists kingdome principles doctrines nor traditions but consider that the bright day of Gods comming in spirit shall destroy the foundation and whole building of the man of sinne and mystery of iniquity 5. Trust not to the old building of man in Antichrists kingdome in these dayes wherin God is rooting up and pulling downe the foundation and whole building of the old heavens and old earth and God is also about to bring forth new heavens and new earth wherein dwells Righteous the work of God alone in which day the Lord alone shall be exalted and the loftinesse of man laid low 6. Look well to your Principles Rules and ends for and in whom you do act in those things you call Ordinances beware of self and ignorant zeal you have heard there is a zeal and that for God too that is nâ—t according to knowledge 7. Look not so much at outward forms as at inward principles look to the inward and hidden man of the heart if that be right in the sight of God then it shall be well with you for ever and you shall never be finally deceived 8. Beware of setting up the bounds of your love to the brethren under any form or opinion whatsoever but let your love be equally unto all where you do see the appearance of Christ in Spirit and power from on high this is the way for peace unity and love among true Saints 9. Look not for the true way of visible worship and ordinances that are truly spirituall and of God to be established in the world till God hath made his people of one heart and when God makes them all of one heart which shal be when they are all taught of God then they shall be all of one way and great shall be their peace then they shall all rest in quiet dwelling places for ever and none shall make them afraid 10. Consider when the way of God is clearly revealed in his people and they endued with divine life and power to walk in it then all by-paths and wayes that are not of God shall be destroyed thrown down and quite forgotten the old heavens and earth shall be remembred no more nor no more come into their minds Isa 66. But now we see there are many wayes in the world even amongst those that professe to know God one cryes up one way another another way a third another way c. But let us remember the command of Christ who saith Many shall come in his name c. Many shall say here is Christ or there is Christ but go not after them If ye consider these three Testimonies of these latter dayes whereby Christs coming shall be manifested unto all who are partakers of his light in spirit and life then you may easily discern the coming of Christ and his light and brightnesse from the false lights and wayes of Antichrist the places are these Isa 11. 9. Matth. 24. 27. 2. Thess 2. 8. 11. As every one doth walk in his own light and thinks his light best generally so take heed you do not imitate Antichrist to confine others to walk in your light Take heed of sitting in the Temple of God it is proper onely to God alone to rule our Consciences and spirits of men â—nd whosoever doth assume this Prerogative doth apparently declare himself to be an Anticrhist who doth oppose himself against God and doth exalt himself above God as in 2 Thess 2. 4. and set in the Temple of God even his people 2. Cor. 6. 16. 12. Take heed of mistaking the coming of Christ now in these dayes wherein Antichrist shall be destroyed lest you should imitate the old Scribes and Pharisees and so instead of being friends of Christ and of his people in his Spirituall coming you should prove the greatest enemies to Christ in his spirituall coming in his people as the old Jews were 13. Take heed of slighting refusing or undervaluing the pure and spirituall waters of life the onely fountain of comfort to spirituall souls and beware you set not up any form or outside ordinances to oppose the clear administration of the Spirit which is truly spirituall for God will assuredly famish and make lean all your empty forms Idols and shadows that you set up to oppose the substance as in the room thereof for the Kingdome of heaven is not outward shews but inward Substances Righteousnesse Peace and Joy in the Spirit 14. Beware in having any hand in slaying of the Witnesses of God that do prophesie though but in Sackeloth lest their resurrection affright you and strike you with terror For consider though they shall be slain yet they shall ly dead but a little while and again when
God puts the Spirit of life in them then they shall affright all those that dwell upon the earth beware then all those that do live upon earthen principles Doctrines Forms Customes and Traditions of men they shall be all affrighted with a witnesse therefore look to it well that the dispensations you live under be of God and not of man for God will destroy all things below himself though never so excellent and highly esteemed of man So I conclude wishing that we may all live in love now one to another seeing love shall continue to Eternity and let us consider what a low thing it is for believers to live contrary to that which is their life and in which we are all one body and members in particular which is Love A brief description of the particulars contained in this Book 1. The Testimony of John the Baptist concerning his Baptisme and the Baptisme of Christ that was to follow 2. The Testimony of Christ concerning John Baptist and wherein he was greater and lesser then those that went before him and those that followed after him 3. The Testimony of Christ concerning his own Baptism declared in the Commission and in other severall places and what it is 4. Severall dispensations in which God hath manifested himself unto his people at severall times the last being wholly Spirituall 5. That the Baptisme of Christ is to baptise men into the name of God according to the Commission and not into water and what the name of God is into which we are baptised according to the Commission Matth. 28. 19. page 13. laid down in seven particulars 6. Severall Testimonies from the clear word of truth how the Nations come to be partakers of the Baptisme of the Spirit in the Apostles ministry which doth clearly agree with the Commission wherein it doth clearly appear that Christs Baptisme was and is Spirit-Baptisme 7. Twenty four Objections for Water-Baptisme answered wherein it doth appear plainly that Water-Baptisme iâ— no more in force now than other Ceremonies KInd Reader observe that I had said nothing in publick if men had let the the truth alone and walked as their light was and waited upon God for further discovery of truth but when I hear and see men so publickly oppose the clear truth I cannot but speak the things I have seen and heard in witnesse to the truth God having made me a witnesse not man A Cryer in the Wildernesse OF ENGLAND Declaring the Baptisme of the Eternall Spirit to be the onely Baptisme in Christs Kingdome revealed in Gospel-light according to the word written in the Scriptures and the Eternall word written in the hidden man of the heart for satisfaction of those that desire to be satisfied with Truth alone THE best way to reconcile differences in the things of God is to lay aside all humane and traditionall Doctrines of men and look exactly into the testimony of the word of God alone that being an infallible Rule that whosoever follows it in the light and wisdome of the Eternall spirit they cannot erre And God having taught me not to depend upon man whose breath is in his nostrills but to look unto the Lord a-alone whose work alone it is to bring forth the new Creation I desire therefore not to stand looking back upon the old building in the Wildernesse of Antichrists Kingdome after so long and generall Apostafie from the purity of the first Churches in the Apostles times But my desire is with the Apostle to look for new Heavens and a new Earth according to the promise of God Even such Heavens and Earth where the righteousnesse of God doth dwell and not such righteousnesse as men sets up by their humane Wisdome and Counsel I doubt not but these are the dayes wherein God will bring forth the clear light of truth that hath been hid many generations and let men set up what they will or what man can set up yet nothing shall stand in the bright day of Gods coming in spirit in these latter dayes but the purity holinesse and righteousnesse of God which is suitable to the new heavens and new Earth the work of God alone And now among many other things in controversie in our dayes I find a great deal of difference about Baptisme and all for baptising with materiall water some for Infant Baptisme and others for baptising believers And I have if God hath given me understanding in the mystery of the truth searched to find out the right way of Baptisme and I can find neither of these to be the way of Gospel-Baptisme neither can I find by the Testimony of the word of truth that there is any water Baptisme at all to be used by way of Command in the pure spirituall Kingdome of Christ But that water Baptisme was at an end in respect of the command of it when Christ was glorified and came in spirit as all other Ceremonies Types and Figures were And I can find no other Baptisme in Christs Kingdome to be in force but the Baptisme of the Eternall spirit and this I affirm to be all and the onely Baptisme in the Kingdome of Christ And to go about to set up any other Baptisme in Christs Kingdome is all one as if men should set up any other Ceremony all which will alike prove humane and traditionall not spiritual nor of divine Institution and for the proof hereof I shall lay aside all the Judgements interpretations and opinions of men who do casually understand the Scripâ—ures and refer my self and all others for the triall of this tâ—uth unto the testimony of the word of God alone and so fâ—r as any do see the word in the light of God so far they can beliâ—ve it really and no further And that we may see this to be clear truth from the testimony of the word alone that the Baptisme of the Eternall Spirit is the onely Baptisme in Christs Kingdome Let us consider the testimony First of John the Baptist Secondly of Christ And thirdly of the Apostles in their preaching and writing to the people with the Objections of men also for water Baptisme and the answers against it from the clear testimony of the word and not from men in these and severall other particulars according to the word I shall as God enables me proceed in this Discourse for the help of man is vain in the things of God First then we will begin with the Testimony of John the Baptist himself who was the author of water Baptisme and see what he saith for his own Baptisme which was water and what he saith of Christs Baptisme which is Spirit First in Generall we will observe one thing that John declareth and it is this that he was sent to baptise with water Iohn 1. 33. Now let all our water-men in England or in all Nations come forth with their strong reasons and bring one witnesse in the word of truth that saith from Christ that ever he sent his Apostles to baptise
darkness of this unreasonable interpretation of the word written I believe none that owns the truth can own this blinde Exposition except it be thus To turn the shame of fools upon their own heads answering them according to their folly And so this one of a sort will amount to thus much that there is one body of Christ and another of antichrist and so one body of a sort There is one true eternal Spirit of the Lord and all that are joyned to the Lord are one spirit in the Lord and this is the true sort of unity of spirit or in the spirit Again there are many spirits of antichrist and all that are led by them are spirits of another sort There is also one hope whereunto believers are called and this is hope of the glory of God not of or in creatures or things There are also hopes of other sorts and these are that mens opinions and ways shall stand c. There is also one Lord unto the true Church of Christ unto whom they desire wholly to give up themselves to be ruled and led by though other Lords have had dominion over them before There are also Lords many and these are of another sort and they rule over the world and carnal Church that is made up of forms and shews of godliness in will-worship in forms of godliness without the power c. and of these there are many Lords and Rulers over the poor creatures though they see it not There is also one faith to the true Church wherein they believe all things that are written in the Law and the Prophets with Paul Act. 24. 14. but they cannot believe any more but the testimony of God notwithstanding they are accused of heresie and blasphemy as Paul was but there are Faiths of other sorts for there is one faith of the devils Jam. 2. another Faith of the ignorant world and another Faith of the carnal and and antichristian Church though a blinde Faith For they dare not believe the Scripture but as it agreeth with the judgements of men and so they have a mixed Faith built up upon the traditions of their Faiths and these Fathers are of antichrist with a witness and of another sort There is also one baptism into which the true Church of Christ are all baptized into one body 1 Cor. 12. 13. and this is that sort of baptism wherein all the true Church is made partakers of the name and nature of God and this is the onely true spiritual baptism of the New-Testament And there are other baptisms and they are in the flesh and upon the outward man and taken up upon false Consequences and false and carnal understanding the Scriptures and these are outward washings as were before the substance came as was water-baptism and one sort hath no example nor precept in the world and the other maintained from a carnal understanding of the word And so there is one baptism of a sort Spirit-baptism in Christs kingdom the true spiritual Church and water-baptisms in the world and carnal Church But here I would not be mistaken for I hope many that are under water-baptism are of the true Church of Christ but not from their being baptized with water but as they are baptized with the spirit Seventhly and lastly There is one God but as you expound the words it is one God of a sort and so we will keep to your interpretation one of a sort but this will quickly be answered First That there are Gods many c. is cleer 1 Cor. 8. 5. Again That several creatures do set up several Gods this is generally declared in the word Thirdly That there is but one God to true Christians is as cleer 1 Cor. 8. 6. but unto us there is but one God and so you may see the extent of your Exposition of this place to maintain your own opinion it declares your ignorance and will-worship Thirdly But to proceed farther in answer to your Objection there is a cleer proof in the Word that water-baptism should be left and I believe you have read it in the letter many a time though you never understood it The place is Heb. 6. 2. a place you bring to prove your point though it be cleer against you as all may see that are not blinde For observe the Apostle here takes off the Jews from those Principles or Doctrines of the beginning of Christ which we have a testimony of Mark 1. at the beginning of the chapter Leaving therefore the beginning of Christ let us go on unto perfection not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of Faith towards God of the Doctrine of baptisms or baptizings and of laying on of hands and of resurrection from the dead and eternal Judgement These Doctrines are to be left by the cleer testimony of the word verse first Leaving therefore the word or Doctrine of the beginning of Christ c. the substance of this place lieth in this word leaving and also in observing what should be left the Doctrines to be left are these six before mentioned ver 2. First then we must observe that this place cannot be understood as men have expounded it for they say these Doctrines must be taken up of all Believers and so they must go on to perfection and leave them behinde or not continue in them c. But this Exposition is exactly against other Scriptures and therefore this cannot be the meaning of the Apostle in this place as we shall see further in going over the particulars as they lye in themselves apart from mans Opinions for truth is to be tryed by it self and not by traditions of men let us therefore consider of the things spoken of here and also of other testimonies of the Word And first of the Doctrine of Repentance from dead works which was the Doctrine of John the Baptist Matth. 3. Luke 3. Marke 1. he preacht the baptism of Repentance he baptized with water an outward and legal washing that did signifie another manner of washing and Repentance to follow for his was but water and could not change the heart and minde but an outward washing and outward reformation he onely declares another to come which was the substance Marke 1. 7 8 c. and that was Christ in spirit in whom Repentance and remission of sins should be given as we have a testimony Act. 5. 31. him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour for to give Repentance unto Israel and forgiveness of sins Here is the true Repentance we are to look upon that is perfection it self even Jesus Christ exalted but we are or they were not then and so not we to look any longer upon an outward washing and repentance from John who was but a forerunner not the substance but to look unto him in whom repentance and all good is to be had But that Doctrine of Repentance taught by John was not to be laid for a
shall pass upon all corruption in us and it shall be all eternally destroyed yet we are still in expectation hereof at present and therefore not past it So here we see in what respect we are to leave the Doctrine of eternal judgement and in what respect we are to look for the fulfilling of it For the Apostle would never exhort the people to leave that they were never come unto yet and also that which he doth cleerly exhort unto in other places this were the way for the Apostle to be like those whose words were yea to day and nay to morrow contrary to his own words and practise Rom. 1. 17 18 19. So this is the beginning of the Doctrine of Christ that was to be left and this was the Doctrine and whole Ministery of John the baptist as he was a fore-runner of Christ as Marke 1. the Ministery of John is called the beginning of the Gospel of Christ 1 The Repentance from dead works that John taught and imposed upon the people in an outward washing and outward Reformation and outward Confession c. this was no longer to be rested in for now Christ was exalted and made Lord of all and a Prince to give Repentance indeed and true and real Remission of sins in spirit life and power which shall never be repented of but men might repent of a fained Repentance as might be taken up from any outward form or outward reformation which was in flesh not in spirit which is but a shew of Repentance 2 Now that Faith that John taught should now be laid aside which was that the people should according to the promises of God expect Christ to come after him and should fulfil all that was testified of him concerning mans salvation and that he should suffer for sin take away the sins of the world c. so that now they should no longer look after a Christ to come and so live under types and shadows still but now they should look upon all the promises fulfilled and all finished Christ having suffered and risen and is glorified and now they were to believe all fulfilled that was promised of Christ as Peter declareth Act. 3. 18. and not to look for it to come as before they did though the chief of the Jews would have blinded all the people if they could to wait still for Christ to come and believe no otherwise 3 Johns testimony was that he baptized with water but there came one after him that was before him and was mightyer then he and that he should baptize with the Holy Spirit and with fire yet at that present the people were to be subject to his baptism which was water because the other baptism was not come and he did figure out the baptism of Christ in his baptism But when the true baptism of all baptisms was come then they were to leave all the former that were outward and trust wholly to that which was inward and the true substance of what was figured out before And here you see there is Scripture for leaving out some baptisms And there is also Scripture for the continuance of one baptism Eph. 4. 5. there is one Baptism and 1 Cor. 12. 13. this baptism is declared by Paul himself and therefore Spirit-baptism is still in force though other baptisms were to be left And so of the other three mentioned here Heb. 6. and now where is your practising these Doctrines and yet leaving of them seeing some of them are not to be left behinde while we live upon the earth or are in the body or live in this world and now let all that see truth in its own light behold your blinde and traditional interpretation of the word written wherein are some things hard to be understood which those that are ignorant and unlearned in the mystery of God do wrest c. but observe here it cannot be those who are unlearned in the wisdom of the world for the greatest learned and wisest in the wisdom of this world onely are the greatest fools in the things of God But to answer an Objection from ch 5. 12 13 14. Paul was no babe c. yet he did not leave the Doctrine of the Resurrection nor of Faith c. Phil. 3. 10 11 12. Gal. 2. 20. Heb. 10 38. Rom. 1. 5 17. ch 16. 26. c. therefore this is not that kinde of Faith Resurrection c. that is here spoke of Obj. 24. Christ himself was baptized with water therefore it is to be practised by us seeing he hath left us an Example and we are bid to follow Christ c. A. 1. Are all things that Christ did Examples for us to follow him in then we have example from Christ to be Circumcised as well as baptized 2. Christ said to John that he should suffer it to be so now that so he might fulfil all righteousness but not one word of Christ by way of Precept that it should be an example unto future generations to follow it from his example of taking it up But seeing Christ did not speak one word of the standing of it in his Church to future generations we have no ground to follow it now So these be all the Objections that I do at present know or remember but if there are never so many more I know the truth is able to answer them all though I could answer never a one And I know nothing can satisfie the Spirit but God and when God is pleased to appear in mens souls and spirits in his bright coming in Gospel-light life wisdom and power from on high then men shall be satisfied with truth alone and not before And here I do conclude this Discourse humbly desiring all men that they would not despise the things they know not but try the testimony of all men by the truth alone and not try the truth by mens opinions for all are to be tryed by truth and not it to be tryed by them For at the best man is but a servant to the truth and it were well if they were so much but no man is Lord over truth And here I have declared unto all men what I have received from the Lord in witness to the truth And here I do profess in the presence of God Angels and men that if I could see any just ground from the cleer testimony of the truth that water-baptism were to be practised in Christs kingdom by Command or Commission from Christ and that it were the baptism of the New-Testament I would not be one day older before I would take it up I am so zealous for all the Commands of Christ through his presence dwelling in me in spirit and life But seeing I see so cleer ground against it in all the Scripture and no cleer ground for it therefore I have no ground to submit to it no though all men were for it And thus I leave what I have here declared to be tryed by the truth alone knowing this that whatsoever is of God shall stand in the day of tryal and whatsoever is of man shall be burnt up for God will bring a consumption upon all flesh and the Lord alone will be exalted in his people in his day of appearing in them in his coming in them in light and life and then all men shall cease from man who is vanity and his works of nought FINIS These books are to be sold by Richard Moone at the seven stars in Pauls Church-yard A Pathway unto Englands perfect settlement and its centre and foundation of Rest and Peace discovered by Capt.
