such which Peter speakes of to be in Corahs Cains Balaams way so your fruits declares and thus you are contrary to Christ and the Apostles and true Church separated from them and such as the Apostle declares against hath made up your Church Have not you been the first birth of the Devil since the dayes of the Apostles Murderers and killers about formes and traditions and Images and outward Churches and Ministers made by mens wills is not Cains fruits the vagabond from God appeared among you murderers destroyers Did the Apostles kill slay and burn had they their Inquisitions like you and do not you all wear Cains mark and Balaams mark on your foreheads and the Devils colours the murderer that is out of Truth has not his flagge been hung out among you All that denies your Religion and worshipping your Images Crosses and all your Ministers made by the will of men and Temples made with mens hands its death by fire Inquisition or Wracks and the devil is he that destroyes the creatures but the power of God destroyes him lets up the soul and brings the creature into liberty Christ saith My body I will give for the life of the World And Christ saith He is from above and he is not earthly The first man is of the earth earthly So after you have consecrated your bread and wine if you will come to an open tryall and proof that may openly bee proved and seen whether or no your bread and wine is not below after consecration and will waste and consume which Christ his flesh sees no corruption his body is the Church and is bread and wine after you have consecrated it the Church or do you call your selves the Church at Rome or do you call your selves the body of Christ do you call the very bread and wine the very body and blood of Christ after you have consecrated i● and so the very Church and then where are you the Church and have you not set bread and wine over you and you s●y Christs body was humane that 's the first Adam earthly the second is the Lord from heaven and after you have consecrated Bread and Wine if it be humane that signifies earthly that shews the creatures as they were before your consecration and so not the body of Christ and as oft as you do eat this bread and drink this cup y● do shew forth the Lords death till he come That signifies that he and his body was not present for where his body is there needs no representation for it was in the night in which he was betrayed that he gave them the cup for remembrance and do you take it in the night and follow the practise of Christ and his Disciples which is in remembrance of him which is the cup of the New Testament in his blood This do as oft as ye do it in remembrance of me This was in the night Now the Apostle bid the Corinthians that the end of the world was come to examine themselves and prove their own selves that they might know their own selves how that Jesus Christ was in them except they were reprobates and if Christ was in them what need they to have bread and wine to put them in Remembrance of him Friend 1 WHo was the first Author or setter forth of all your Pictures your Crosses your Crucifixes your Images and what was their names seeing that the Apostles and Teachers and Ministers did not set forth such things in the Church but witnessed against Idols and that they might keep themselves from Idols and that they were not to look at things that were seen as in the Epistles of John and to the Corinthians And are not images pictures crucifixes crosses things that be seen And the things that are seen are temporall but the things that are not seen are eternall and is not it which set up these things that which denyed the power of God 2 How is it that you set up Tythes seeing that the Apostle witnessed against the Priest-hood that took tythes and said the Law was changed and the commandement disannulled that gave them And though Abraham gave tythes to Melchisedeck the similitude the son of God is come the end of the similitude and likenesse and who was the first beginner of them amongst you 3 Who was the first Author that gave ye the commands for the observing of dayes holy dayes Saints dayes seeing the Apopostle and the Saints which were in the true Church brought the Saints off days yea the days which God had commanded to Christ the substance and said there was not any name under heaven by which a man should be saved but his name and what they were to do they were to do in the name of Christ And when they cryed Paul Apollo or Cephas he rebuked them are not all you come under rebuke now that are crying up names days meats drinks which the Kingdom of Heaven stands not in and so has lost the power and the substance 4 Where did Christ or the Apostles command in the Scripture or the Church practiced that such things forementioned should be done or come after them shew me by Scripture Now if you say that Solomon had a Temple and there were images and an Ark and an Altar those were but figures they were not the substance and when the substance came they ceased Now what does all your dayes crosses crucifixes tythes type forth and who commanded them shew by Scripture where ever Christ or the Apostles commanded any such thing as a Crucifix as a Crosse as Tythes as a Temple as an Altar outward or to pray by Beads shew by the Scriptures where ever the true Apostles true Church or Christians practised any such things or that any such things were amongst them or said that any such things should come after them answer me by plain Scriptures 5 May not a man give all his goods away to the poor and his body to be burned and what will that profit him if he have not love yea love to enemies And how can you love them when you bring them to your Inquisitions or burn or imprison them kill or banish them Now mark are not you of that sect that the Apostle speaks of that may give all your goods away to the poor and your bodies to be burned and yet nothing not having love And what differs your love from that love that may give your goods away and bodies to be burned and yet not have true love And do not you think that you gain by that now and do inherit some righteousness for it and is not that all out of the true righteousnesse which is out of the true love Now the love of God and Christ which was in the Apostles was to love enemies Now if you love your sect and them that be of your worship and observes your customes and burn and prison and kill others that be not of your sect and judgement and observes your customes

Would you not destroy them that would break down your pictures your Images your Crosses your Crucifixes and throw away your beads would not that lov● in you destroy them that should destroy your pictures Crosses Crucifixes Images beads would not the Heathen have done the same to the Jews that had destroyed their Images Groves pictures set up which God never commanded Would not the Jews have destroyed the Apostles for denying the Temple the Altar Sanctuary Tabernacle dayes Priests offerings the outward things which God had formerly commanded but denyed by them that came to witnesse and preach up the body that God had prepared to put an end to them and was not that the love of God in the Apostles and was not that the sel●ish love that held up pictures Temples Images Idols which God never commanded and was not that the selfish love in the Jews that held up Temple tythes Priests Images similitudes and are not you in the selfish love and is not this selfish love that holds up Temples Tythes Priests Images Crucifixes Pulpits and is not all this in one nature Jews Gentiles and you since the dayes of the Apostles and out of the love that the Apostles were in who witnesse against Jewes Priests tythes and Gentiles and Idols and bad the Saints keep themselves from Idols 1 John 5.21 37. Are not they the false Apostles Ministers and Teachers Antichrist Beast and false Prophets who comes with lying signs wonders and miracles since the dayes of the Apostles and John and who are these describe them that should come with the lying signs and wonders and the beast should work miracles since the dayes of the Apostles 38. Are not they the false Apostles Ministers and Teachers and in the night out of the true day have lost it since the dayes of the Apostles the true Christians which were children of the day that now observes dayes is not this a figure and sign to be in the night was not the true Apostle afraid of some that observed dayes that he had bestowed his labour in vain amongst them and was not this observing of dayes coming up amongst some before the Apostles decease which the true Apostles rebuked and since the dayes of the Apostles have they not spread over Nations observers of dayes and are they not gone into the night and lost the true day 39. Why do you whip your selves with cords or ropes or whips where did the Christians or Apostles do so or did Christ or the Apostles give any such command will you be tryed and have your practises tryed by the Scriptures of Christ and the Apostles 40. Do you own the practice of the Church of the Saints and Christians which the Apostle was amongst that if any thing be revealed to another that sits by let the first hold his peace for ye may all prophecy one by one that all may learne and be edified and comforted the Spirits of the Prophets are subject to the Prophets and God is the God of order and not of confusion 41. Do you own that Sons and Daughters shall prophecy in this age and that the spirit will be poured out upon them yea or nay 42. Do you own revelation and immediate inspiration as the Apostles had the same now in these dayes as was amongst them yea or nay 43.

Where had the Apostles and Saints any Inquisition-Houses to put them in that were contrary to their minds 47. Where had the Apostles and Saints any houses to put men and women into such as ye call Abbies Monasteries Nunneries 48.
