A65478	The voyce of him that is escaped from Babylon Reasons given forth to all sober minded people, why I departed from the ministry of those called ministers of parishes; and why I departed from the ministry of those called Anabaptists; and why I have, and what I have contended for, some years past.	West, Robert, b. ca. 1613.	1658 (1658)	Wing W1391; ESTC R217331	15,883	20

is very high Your minds to him turned must be or else without must lye 15 Where 's he that I to him may come and Zions gates to know He is within manifesting to thee thy sins he shews 16 Your spirits it is Zions gates where knocked long hath him O lift it up and He to you will suddenly come in 17 Then in your spirits will He be to you a hope again And then with he you shall he free in Zion to remain 18 For he will open unto you the gate of righteousnesse Through which the righteous Nation have entred into rest 19 And thus in love I have you shewn the way to Zion's hill The City of solemnity where the Lord God doth dwell 20 That so without you may not be amongst those unclean beasts And where the wine presse trod shall be so there will be no rest Concerning the Mount of Olives which stands before Jerusalem which shall cleave in the midst and be removed this Testimony I gives of it The mount before Jerusalem spoken of by Zechariah is a Mistery of iniquity not created by God but gendred by mens Zech. 14. 4. joyning unto the Serpent which mount stands before their spirits as the mount Olives did before Jerusalem on the East thereof whereon stands their idol gods which they have set up in their hearts Now mount Olivet is alluded to by the Prophet because upon mount Olivet stood the idol gods of Solomons strange wives and therefore it was called the mount of Corruption † Mount Olivet mentioned or mount of Corruption is one in Ranke with Hagar and mount Sinai and the mount before Jerubbabel which is a mystery of iniquity in which Satan moveth which shall become a Plain be removed and consumed Deut. 23. 3. 1 Sam. 15. 3. as you may read 2 Kings 23. 13. but in the margin it s rendered the mount Olivet Now when the feet of the Lord which is power shall stand upon it it will cleave in midst in which day the light shall not be clear nor dark So it is with every one untill they can discern between their spirit and the divine nature and then the mountain that stands before Jerubbabel to wit the mystery of iniquity in mankind shall become a plain and be removed and consumed by the spirit of the Lord and the brightnesse of his coming in all his and then as it is written the Lord my God shall come and all his Saints with thee and Reign in mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before his antients gloriously but mount Sinai or Hagar shall be cast out with her Children and shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord in ten generations for ever but shall be utterly destroyed from under heaven Amaleck is its figure Now for this cause is and was the Gospel preached to wit for the consummation of iniquity and by it shall it be destroyed If thou ask me what the everlasting Gospel is I answer the glorious light in the World it hath been preached under differing names or sounds which I shall if God permit in my next book informe the Reader with A song of my beloved to my beloved which is within the Vaile song by her that was barren in the I le of the sea Isa 24. 15. 1 My Mother is a Queen most bright and I her daughter dear Beloved of the Lord of life who of me taketh care 2 A wall unto my Mother is the Lord who keeps from sin So that in freedom she 's preserv'd though Captive I have been 3 And then I was in prison strong where I defil'd have been But now I am purged again and am made a Virgin 4 Come my beloved unto me for welcome thou shalt be For thou hast done for me great things and by thee I am free 5 From death and sin by thee my Love and now am thine by right For thou hast bought me with a price and me redeem'd with light 6 I have Redeem'd thee let me go and I will come again For comely now thou art to me and I le with thee remain 7 I will not let thee go my love come now thou into me That so a Child now I may have an Heir that is free 8 A Virgin I am made by thee known unto thee in light O that I had a Son by thee who art in glory bright 9 I will return to thee my dove and thou shalt have a Son According to the time of life what 's sayd it shalt be done 10 Shall she that barren was now bear Yea thou shalt bear by me A Child an Heir which is free in which thousands shall be 11 Behold a Virgin is with child Emanuel is his Name A King of Zion is this Child Now I will spread his fame 12 And I will sing unto my King which wonders great hath wrought For he to me have done great things a Child for me he got 13 I barren was and did not bear in prison was I strong By the Children of Babylon they have opprest me long 14 Rejoyce now thou that barren was and praises to him sing For he to thee and thy Children will great deliverance bring 15 Lift up your heads you holy ones Redemption draweth near Your life which hid in God hath been will suddenly appear 16 For now a Nation shall appear which have been much in scorn O who have heard of such a thing in one day to be born 17 No sooner Zion travelled which hath been long in pain But all her Children she brings forth with her King for to Reign 18 A goodly sight is it to see the King with all his Taryn For they in white all cloath'd shall be and shall on the Earth Reign 19 Both Zion and her Children dear for maried they shall be And then Zion unto her Sons a City may you see 20 A Heaven new and Earth also the Lord will have remain For he to it married will be and he in it will Reign 21 Why should it seem incredible Prophets have it foretold And in the faith of it have dyed the Holy men of old Neverthelesse when the son of man cometh shall he find Luke 18. 〈◊〉 faith on Earth But he that 's fallen from the faith of Gods Elect may say this following Inscription Within this Temple 1 Cor. 6. 1● Rev. 12. 17 Prov. 5. 1● Mala. 2. 14 lyeth a woman bereaved of her life my mother companion of the Covenant the wife Beware of the errour mentioned in 2 Tim. 2. 18. Written the 22 of the 8 month 1658. in love to all For the foundations of the Earth shall be shoken and their Cedar works uncovered and their Gods famished Zeph. 2. And men shall worship the living God who is to be praysed for ever and ever Amen Reader the wayes of the Lord which is invisible have been figured forth by visiable dispensations under differing administrations but now the time is neere that the Sons of God shall appear Rom. 8. 19 Mat. 13. 43. Luk. 13. 28● in a visible manifestation to be seen by their enemies in the Kingdome of their Father This following Question I do propose in love to them whom it concerns to consider of it Q. What is that that the ministery of the Gospel quickens● the seed of God in man or the spirit of man or man in the spirit of his minde I do in this way proceed for truths sake because I have been denyed to be reasoned with concerning things delivered that 's questionable Again beware of accusing the Apostle Paul falsely you who in your printing and preaching saith that he to wit Paul desired to know nothing among the Corinthians save Jesus Christ and him crucified now he saith no such thing but he then knowing that all that live in pleasure and wanton upon earth kills the just therefore saith I brethren when I came unto you determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus Christ and him crucified for he determined before he came unto them that they crucified unto themselves the Son of God FINIS

I asked him whether he meant the visible blood that was shed without the gates of Jerusalem he said yea I asked then of William Crabb and Nicholas Ellyot and other Teachers there present whether they did own it they said yea and gave me a Coppy of it in writing and asked me whether I would deny it if I did I should deny the whole or else grant the whole of their affirmation To that I replyed It 's written thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed nor weare a Linsie Wolsie Garment This is a mingled affirmation said I some things may be owned and some things must be denyed then being admitted by them I made my exceptions to wit that I did deny that to be the everlasting Gospel namely Remission of sins by the visible blood and that for these Reasons First that-blood had a beginning which was shed without the gates of Jerusalem but the everlasting Gospel had no beginning again the Gospel was preached to Abraham and them that are dead and Christ preached the Gospel before the visible blood was shed and remitted sins and there was none saved without Remission of sins and without shedding of blood there is no Remission of sins therefore Remission of sins by that blood was not the everlasting Gospel Then they said they would prove it which they endeavoured about two or thee hours bringing these following Scriptures Isa 52. 10. Rom. 10. 15. Act. 13. 32 33 38. Luke 2. 13. Act. 20. 28. 1 Pet. 1. 28. Col. 1. 20. Heb. 12. 24. Rev. 1. 5. Mat. 26. 28. Heb. 9. 14 22. 1 Cor. 15. 1 3. Act. 5. 3. And then said We have proved it I denyed it A friend to truth desired those Scriptures mentioned might be proved which was not assented to but the question was put upon the people because of the remaining questions whether to them they had proved it because they said they had and the people replyed Nay The other things agreed to be reasoned then was what the Ministers of the Gospel was to direct the people to to which was agreed on by both sides To Christ the next question was Where he was they said in heaven then said I where is heaven Then said they we have proved what was to be reasoned or asserted then said I the kingdome of heaven is within you and Christ is in heaven then said they prove it I said Will you deny it they then was silent Then said I I should not prove it except they did deny it many other wordspassed with which I shall not trouble the Reader For matter this is the sum of that present meeting After this they said that I was fallen from the faith and that they were sorry for me and others I then examined what might be the meaning of this their saying and I found in my understanding that they did mean because I do believe the first principle to be preached to men is the light that shineth in darknesse to wit in their hearts whereas they preached to men the first principle to be believed is without men and not within men Now I confesse it had been a question some time in my understanding whether Yea or Nay I had not fallen and I found that I had fallen from making the sayings of men or the Letter of Scripture the ground of my faith now I had made a large profession of God and Christ at a distance from me but knew neither my faith at that time was like that of the Samaritans who believed because of the saying of the Woman but truly as they sayd so say I they said Now we believe not because of thy saying for we have heard him our selves and know that this is indeed the Christ the Saviour of the World For friends it is one thing to believe the Scriptures or Reports of men but it 's another thing to believe Christ For example Agrippa believed the Prophets when he believed not in Christ for he saith unto Paul thou hast almost Act. 2● 28. perswaded me to be a Christian Now the promise is sure to the ●eed but not to Reports of men for thus it is written whosoever believeth in him shall never be confounded or ashamed and in truth I am a witnesse As the mind is turned to the measure of him Rom. 10 11. and on it stayed there 's vertue proceedeth from him which purgeth the mind and then giveth peace and an understanding to know him which is life eternal thus have I wandered from one City to another Country and from the Teachings of men and am taught of the Lord. Glory be to him for ever who sheweth me Mysteries and the times of Ministrations Behold I shew you some of them Christ is hid in God and shall appear the Gentiles are partakers of the divine nature and so made fellow-heirs with the Jews of the kingdome of heaven God is in Christ and Christ is in the Light and the light is in the world now to be manifested for the obedience of faith to all Nations the body of Saints shall be raised and we then that are alive shall be changed and ascend in the sight of her enemies to meet the Lord when he shall be Revealed in like manner as he did ascend into heaven The Saints both Jews and Gentiles shall come with him and shall be seen by enemies in the kingdom of God and the dominion under the whole heavens shall be given unto the Saints of the most high and they shall Rule and Reign on Earth in the kingdom of Christ and then the kingdomes of this World shall become the kingdomes of our Lord and of his Christ the time is at hand that these things shall be performed although it may seem as an idle tale unto many whose hearts are flow to believe all that the Prophets have spoken and therefore perverts the Prophets words yet shall they certainly come to passe And now friends all beware of perswasions that are contrary to the Scriptures of the Prophets for the spirit of the Prophets are subject to the Prophets hold fast therefore the forme of sound words and learn to speak such words that cannot be condemned for when words are spoken that are questionable there 's occasion given of disputing and beware of putting one dispensation in the place of another for that is turning truth into a lye beware also of Preaching dispensations together without distinction for then it will be an uncertain sound and an occasion of disputing now the servants of God in former times gave the sense of what they did read unto the people and gave distinction in the sound of their Ministery and caused the people to understand it and was meek toward them that did not understand although they did oppose what was spoken For example Christ said to his disciples Whither I go ye know and the way ye know Thomas saith We know not the way yet Christ did not say to him I deny thy spirit but
