FOR THE KING AND BOTH HOUSES OF Parliament Sitting At WESTMINSTER And for every MEMBER thereof to READ LONDON Printed for Robert Wilson in Martins Le-Grand near Aldersgate FRiends O Friends in the power of God dwell that lasteth for Ever which doth Remain and Abide And minde the Higher Power which God hath Ordained which 〈◊〉 over all Transgressors Sinners and Evil-doers which Law and Higher Power was not made for the Righteous but Sinners and Transgressors to be a Terror to them and for the punishment of them and for the Praise of them that Do well Now them that Do Well the Righteous this Law and Higher Power was not made for and doth not take hold upon them to which Higher Power ever Soul must be subject the Higher Power I say that is Higher than all Transgressors Evil-Doers and the Divel who went out of the Truth that led into Sin and Transgression Therefore to Sin and Evil people are not to yeild themselves but their Souls unto the Higher Power as I said before that goes over Sin and the Devil the Author of it to this Power must the Soul be subject Therefore you Rulers and Magistrates are to put a difference between the Precious and the Vile the Righteous and the Wicked such as the Law was made for Sinners and Transgressors for which cause it was added and the Righteous which it was not made for for this Higher Power that goes over all Sinners and Transgressors was not made for the Righteous which the Immortal Soul must be subject to this Immortal Higher Power that Higher Power answereth and is one with the Spirit and Witness of God that witnesseth for him against Sin and Transgression of the Law and Power of God in every One Secondly Keep all in the Fear of God departing from Sin and Evil that ye may receive Gods Wisdom from Above that is Pure and Gentle and easie to be Intreated and is full of Mercy and Goodness which is not Earthly Sensual nor Divellish but keeps from Hard-heartedness and that with that Wisdom you may be Ruled and Order and Govern with and by all things under your Hands to Gods Glory by which Wisdom all things were Made and Created that to the Lord you may be a Blessing and a Sweet savour in your Generation and in the Hearts of all People answering the Witness of God in them all that you may be Eys to the Blind Legs to the Lame taking away every Weight and Heavy burthen and breaking the Jaws of the Wicked that would Rend and Tear the Innocent to pieces that in that you may be a Mouth to the Dumb and a Strength to them who cannot Help themselves in that you will get the Honor of God and bow the Hearts of the people Again Let Wickedness and Violence be stopt Swearing Oaths Drunkenness and Prophaness of which much abounds in the Land that Truth and Righteousness may be set Up and Established and run down the streets for that is it which establisheth the Kingdom for the Higher Power is that goes over all the Divel and all the powers of Darkness and over Sinners and Transgressors which answereth that which all men do Transgresse And let no one be Persecuted and Imprisoned for Worshipping of God in Spirit Truth which the Divel is out of seeing Christ and the Apostles did not give any Command or Example that they should be Imprisoned Persecuted and Banished though there hath been much Persecution about the Church-Ministry and Worship and Ceremonies since the dayes of the Apostles and Christ in the Flesh though as I said before from them they have had no Example nor Command from the Apostles and the Church in the primitive times to do so such as will Grieve the Spirit Quench the Spirit Despise the Prophesie were forbidden by the Apostles And let there be no Persecution nor Imprisonment of them that be in differences in their Opinions in Religion which all Professing the Name of Christ whose Command is to all them who Follow Him and Own Him that they should love Enemies Let this command be Obeyed and Minded and not Troden under Foot for that is it which overcomes Enemies And again Do to all men as you would have them do unto you for this is the Law and the Prophets And if this had been minded in the whole Christendom that is to say the Law and the Prophets and Practiced and Obeyed and not troden under foot the Life of it by them who have Professed the Words there would have been better Order in the whole Christendom and Creation for this we say and know He that is born of the Flesh will Persecute him that is born of the Spirit Let not this Birth be found amongst them that profess themselves Christians and Profess Christ Jesus and own the Church in the primitive time which was among the Apostles Now the fruit of the birth born of the flesh is Persecution c. the fruit of the birth born of the Spirit is Love Peace Gentleness Righteousness Goodness and Temperance c. Let there be no compelling about Worship about Dayes Meats and Religion nor forcing of a Maintenance for a Ministry for so doing there is no example among the Apostles nor command neither from Christ nor them but on the contrary all things must be done in Love and Bounty as amongst the Apostles and in the Church in the Primitive times For freely they had received and freely they were to give This was the command of Christ Jesus who is the same to day yesterday and for ever Christ Jesus who is the Head of the Church and Chiefe Bishop who did not give forth any Law or Command or Example to his Embassadours Apostles and Friends for them to force or compel any about worship or Religion or Maintenance or about Dayes or Meats or Drinks from the cheif Shepherd the great Bishop there was no Command nor Example for so doing nor from his Disciples nor Apostles nor the Church in the Primitive Times but they brought people off the Figures Tipes and Shadows and from their affections on things below to Christ Jesus the substance and moreover said That the body which is the Church was to edifie it self in love of which Church Christ Jesus is the Head who is the Bishop Prophet Priest and King to Rule to Teach and to Offer and Christ Jesus is the End of the first Covenant the first Priest-hood which had the Tithes and the Offerings For there was the Tithe which was the Heave-Offering which Christ ended and the Priesthood and the Law and the Commandement that gave them Heb. 7. So the Church of Christ stands in the end of the Law first Covenant and Priesthood as is said Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness Sake to them that believe and his Church is made up of Believers which passeth from Death to Life So all the Ministers and Teachers in the whole Christendome that will not preach without a Bag and
