Is there any pure Religion upon the Face of the Earth but where the people doth do unto all men as they would men should do unto them which the light in a mans conscience teacheth to do And is not all profession of pure Religion and holiness without that pure peaceable practise any other than abomination and rottennesse in the account of the holy just God Q. 11 God blessed me in the womb and sanctified me in the day of my birth who hath separated me from the land of my natural nativity and now how if my love is constrained to be more towards the Seed in the Turk then unto the flesh of Englands Inhabitants ought I therefore the more to be cursed by my own Nation or lesse blessed by thy Nation Or am I faulty to stand against iniquity in the gate to stop the flood of wrath which is ready to enter in as through a gap or may I be blamed in wrestling that blessing may over-spread the length and breadth of thy Dominion Q. 12. I would not offend the just or trouble the righteous yet I enquire of the wise men of thy Court whether is it against the Law of God and life of the holy men to try all things and hold fast that which is good and how shall any know the good simply as it comes from the Fountain so as to be plainly distinguishable from that which is but a shew in hypocrisie is there any thing that makes manifest or that can make manifest truth in a mans spirit and seal it to his heart beyond the traditions of men or the perswasions of women besides the light in a mans conscience which convinceth him of his sins Now I querie concerning that which will discover such in the Closet of a mans heart who are in other Nations to be a people walking in the pure Religion there is a stone to try all mettals by Q. 13 And what is the Touchstone of tryal of all Nations What is that by which Abel and Enoch and Noah and Abraham and Isaac and Iacob walked who walked by a Rule before Moses was to whom first the Law in Tables of stone was given what was the Rule before the Prophets or the Scriptures and the Law in Tables by which the Holy men of God had the witnes testimony of the truth and Kingdom of God which if the Scriptures and the writings of the Law given in tables of stone had been always hid from this generation the prophets writings from the people of this age yet might the seed have the same testimony by the same thing which Abel and Enoch had of God and which Gods servants now have Q. 14. Hath thy Nation the Faith of living after death if they have not I am then answered before I aske but if they have that Faith I then enquire whether is it better to die as a stranger among men for conscience sake and be received as an everlasting sojourner with the Lord in the endlesse day of blessing then to be the most acquainted and beloved amongst men and after the time of man to perish worse then the beasts of the field And what is honour or profit of riches in this life to be for ever miserable in the life to come Q. 15 It was the great sin of the Jews in the dayes of old in making Idols of Gold and Silver and Stone and Wood and Men and Prophets and of their own strength it was also their sin in having the Law and the Commandments and yet walked with loose hearts worshipping only with their lips and mouth and in spirit and minde were strangers to God the eternal spirit And is it an evil for me to say Enquire and see and search in thy own borders to find out if such a thing or the resemblance of this thing be not within the compasse of thy Dominion Post-script FRiend Thus the Lord God gently tries thee who is jealous of his glory and yet further will he search thy heart and try thee as gold if thy countenance turns unto purity yet thus far thou mayest not be jealous of any other thing to hurt thee for behold God hath turned my face towards the Jews scattered in thy borders and hanging upon thy skirts that they may be turned in spirit unto Shiloh that in peace they may for ever rest in the Dominion out of all heart-burnings or evil surmizes in the best content not by constraint onely but of a willing mind and heart in the sight of God And the Lord God of truth knoweth the uprightnesse of my heart that I deceive thee not with flatteries whose servant I am in dread and fear and not my own JOHN PERROT The end Immanuel The Salvation of ISRAEL The Word of the Lord came unto me the twelfth day of the sixth Month in the year accounted 1657. concerning the Jews and scattered Tribes of ISRAEL As I was waiting upon the Lord in spirit in Legorne in Italy which in the Name of the Lord I give forth to be copied and sent throughout the World Written by a lover of Righteousnesse a mourner over the scattered Tribes a seeker of the lost that the Remnant may be saved J. P. LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the signe of the Bull and Mouth near Aldersgate 1660. The word of the Commandment of the Lord to his Servant concerning the scattered Jews in Italy Spain Portugal France Holland and the rest of the Regions and every Island throughout the Earth and the Seas to write these words following to them all WHether you will hear or forbear this is the word of the Lord God unto all you scattered Jews throughout the whole Earth God of a truth is arisen to gather unto himself his peculiar Seed from the four winds of the Earth that Jacob may possesse and inhabit his inheritance and the Seed of Israel the Holy Land And according to the Prophets he hath began at the North and is streching and hath streched forth his Arm over the South and over the East and over the West And behold it cometh to pass and is at hand and not as a

breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked Now this is wisdome to know and understand that birth and nature of the wicked in you and to feel the power of that breath in you thereby to taste of the pangs of that slaughter in you and then ye will witness the Messiah come in you in spirit and in wisdome and in a deep and quick understanding making the Heavens new in you and the earth new in you as Solomon saith God hath set the world in mans heart wherefore man cannot find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end thereof he that hath an ear to hear and heart to understand may now come to discern and read Nations Kingdoms Countries Armies Philistines Egyptians Aliens the seed of the Iew and the generation of the Gentile in him Mountains heaps of Stons Sodom Built and Gomorrah fenced Ierusalem trodden down Zion and her Daughter in bondage and her seed in great Captivity lamenting as in solitary places left and forsaken as in a wildernesse and as a Virgin Daughter in a strange land altogether left comfortlesse the poor the widow and the fatherlesse the blind the halt and the maimed all left without pity I say search your hearts in secret and see if this be not truth the light of Immanuel answering in all your consciences and hidden parts Again I say wait upon God with your minds staid upon the light in all your consciences and thereby God will shew you even by the coming of his son Iesus the Messiah the light of the World the fulfilling of the Law and of the Prophets in you that is to say thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart with all thy mind and with all thy soul and thy Neighbour as thy selfe this is the sum and substance of all which the light in all your consciences if ye follow it in your minds will perfectly lead to the fulfilling of and then ye will know that Immanuel the light of the World came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill the Law that the righteousnesse of the Law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit which is according to the leadings of the light in all our consciences and this is from the Lord both to the Iew and the Gentile Furthermore to the scattered Tribes of the house of Israel this is the word of the Lord God of Heaven and Earth who is the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob who by a mighty hand and out-stretched arm by the hand of Moses his Prophet and Messenger unto the seed in Bondage in great Captivity brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt Even vnto you Oh ye Iews this is the word of the dreadfull Lo●d God of Hosts and as a sign unto you and among you and in you it shall stand unto the end of your dayes if you perish in unbeliefe and in your sins that the Messiah is come Jesus whom your Fathers slew through unbelief and hard-heartednesse in their dayes who slew him for saying in words that which they themselves did own concerning themselves in the substance according to their profession that is to say he declared that he was the Son of God and therefore they put him to death as a Blasphemer and they said that God was their Father yet were in their wilfulnesse so far blinded that they could not discern that their words in manner of the declaration tended to the same thing and was of the same nature and this shall stand the sign thereof unto the end if ye perish in unbelief to your perpetuall judgment that he hath lightned you all with his true light which shineth in all your conscences which sheweth you in secret the deceitfulnesse of your hearts and convinceth you in your minds of lying cheating coveting envy and of all sin and unrighteousnesse which is not according to the Law of God written in your hearts this sign the light in your consciences shall never dye in you which all your burning Lamps and washings and Altars and vails and holiest of holiest and all the other ceremonies were but signs and figures and shadows of this everlasting signe and substance which shall perpetually stand to justifie you if you love it and follow it and walk according to it or to condemne you for evermore if ye hate it and walk contrary to it And be it also known unto you that if you expect another Messiah then him that is come which is Immanuel God with us in spirit and in life and power leading out of sin the land of bondage and darknesse and in vertue and in wisedome and in counsel and in judgment not judging according to the seeing of the eye or hearing of the eare but with righteous judgment in spirit who searcheth every spirit and the bottome of every heart with his light in every conscience ye are but Seekers unto this day for flesh to come yet farther to be an ease unto your flesh and to purchase more ease and liberty for your flesh in which state ye already stand even in the ease and lust of the flesh which God Almighty by the coming of his Son will destroy for because of sin and iniquitie and men living in the ease and lust of the flesh the Lord God will hasten judgement upon the earth Now consider search and see ponder it and lay it to heart that you may know what you have waited for that you may understand whether you have waited and sought for the true thing to come to pass that henceforth ye may seek aright else you may all waite till your limbs fails you and your eyes perish in their holes end in the end you fail of the expectation and fulfilling of your vain conceptions and blind imaginations wait therefore in spirit in humility of heart that Immanuel the light of the World Iesus the Messiah by whom ye are lightened ye may come to know and feel the power of his light in your consciences by it leading you out of all your sinnes and iniquities which is Satans bond the Devils chain of darknesse linking you together in hard-heartednesse and binding you in the lusts ceremonies customes and traditions of blindness and ignorance thereby ruling in your minds and spirits that knowing him ye may also know by him the breaking of the bonds of Hell and the disanulling of the Covenant which is made with death ye set at liberty in life and spirit to serve the Lord God of life who is a spirit and of purer eyes than to behold iniquity or countenance sinners in their evil wayes in the uprightness of your hearts and integrity of your souls that ye may be made unto him the praise of his name throughout the whole earth according to his promise that
