alienated from the Spirit of God in Babel where the Original of Tongues was in the dayes of Nimrod that Heretick who began to build Babel So Tongues do not make any man a Divine neither a Minister of Christ for that which makes a man Divine as they say is the Word which redeems out of Tongues which was before Babel was and in the beginning before the Fall which knocks down all that which corrupts mans Nature and renews again into the Divine Nature And whosoever are Ministers of the Word and Preachers of the Gospel they are in the Power and in the Word which was before Tongues were This Word brings into the Church-Felowship which is in God into which they are not brought by the Worlds Original which they call the Tongues which shall cease and out of whom we are redeemed neither do they bring into Fellowship with God neither into his Worship nor further than Babel where the Tongues stop But who comes to the Word of God and the Gospel they come to that which was before many Tongues were and shall remain when they shall all pass away XXXVIII Concerning OATHES The Spirit of Christ the Spirit of the Apostles of the Martyrs is risen again which gives Testimony against Swearing and Oathes There were no Oaths at all imposed upon Man before the Fall but only since the Fall for under the Law after the Fall and among the Jews Oaths and Commandments were given To which Christ by whom the World was made which was before the Fall which is the Oath of God which Oathes in the Fall were Types who put an end to strife and brings into quietness and peace and bindes to God without Oathes which Christ put an end to And Christ himself the Oath of God puts an end to all Oaths and brings into the Land of quietness and rest the Spiritaul Canaan and puts and end to strife and destroyes the Devil the Author of strife he who is the Rest the Way Truth and the Life who brings again to God and is the Covenant of God in man hath peace with God which destroyes that which led from God and from Christ and he himself said Swear not at all neither by Heaven nor by the Earth nor by any other Oath He who restores man into that state in which he was in the beginning before the Fall who restores into the Image of God And so in the Restauration there are no Oathes to be used nor Swearing according to his own Doctrine But Yea yea nay nay was to be used among men in all their Communications and what is more then this is evil So that Swearing now is evil And this is the Doctrine of him who restores People into that state in which man was in in the beginning who is the Substance who put an end to Figures And his Disciple Jeams in the 5th Chapter of his Epistle who followed his Counsel who is an Everlasting Counsellor saith Above all things my brethren Swear not neither by Heaven nor by Earth nor by any other Oath lest you fall into Condemnation but let your yea be yea and your nay be nay And this was the manner among them who followed the Doctrine and Command of Christ in the Restauration who were built upon the true Foundation which was first laid in the Primitive times among the true Brethren and was publickly held forth which Manner and Custome Doctrine and Command of Christ Jesus and the Apostles in the Primitive times many of the Martyrs followed held forth and practised among those who were Degenerated and Apostatized from the Life and Power of Christ and the Apostles although they profess the Words And now the Spirit of Christ is risen again and of the Apostles and Saints as in the Primitive times and the Spirit of the Martyrs who bear witness against all Oathes and all sort of Swearing whatsoevever that were used among the Heathens Jews and Apostatized Christians both privately and publickly and bindes to yea and nay in all manner of Communication as Christ and the Apostles taught and and the Saints and Martyrs practised knowing that whatsoever is more than yea and nay is evil and such who Swear are condemned according to Christ and the Apostles Doctrine So we say again That the Spirit of Christ the Apostles and Martyrs is risen again who hath been dead and is dead in and among the Apostates who have the Form but deny the Power from whom we have turned away But now its ri●en again and lives amongst us Glory and Honour be given to God through Jesus Christ who hath restored to the beginning into the Image of God in which Man was in before he fell before Oathes were For Example Read the Book of Genesis and there you may see that there was no Command given to Adam and Eve before the Fall concerning Swearing neither from Christ who Restores Man again and who puts an END to OATHES before the Law and under the Law and Prophets both whom the Angels which sware worship for Christ saith Swear not at all who is Lord and Master so it is better to obey him than man and in all your Communication let your yea be yea and your nay be nay for whatsoever is more than this cometh of Evil saith he who restores even Christ And in the second Example consider the Apostles who did according to the Command and Doctrine of Christ who said Above all things my Brethren Swear not at all lest ye fall into condemnation Jam. 5. But let your yea be yea and your nay nay in all your Communication And although there was Swearing among the Jews and other Nations and Heathens before the Apostatized Christians used to Swear nevertheless the Apostles and the Brethren obeyed and they must obey the Doctrine and the Command of Christ for if Christ command one thing and Man another It is better to obey the Lord Jesus Christ the Life who is the Restorer Saviour and Redeemer than men This is the WORD of the LORD GOD to you all Concerning the WORD of GOD and the Original what it is BLessed are all those whose mindes are staid upon the Lord for they shall be kept in perfect peace so where the mind is staid upon the Lord there is a perfect peace for it is a whole peace which cannot be broken So here is not only a perfect peace but a blessing a perfect peace which comes from the God of all peace that bruiseth the Serpents head under your feet the troubler and the blessings which comes from the blessed God So all imperfect peace may be broken that is when the mind is staid upon any Creature or in any Creature and not upon the Creator or in any outward things Goods Houses Lands or Inventions of the Vanities in the foolish vain Fashions which the Lust of the Eye and the Pride of Life go into which will defile it and corrupt it when any of these things fail and are not according to

of War those were only Tythes of the Spoil and not by a Command And Christ was according to the Order of Melchisedeck who puts an end to War and destroyes the Devil its Author and redeems out of the Earth And although we are many thousands yet there is not a Beggar among us neither do we read there were any Beggars in the Primitive-Times which Church denyed Tythes and said The Priesthood was changed that took them together with the Law by which they were set up and also the Commandment which gave them So they who take Tythes and they who pay them are both Anti-christs and deny Christ to be come in the Flesh XII Of the HIGHER POWER Moses who had the Law saw over all Transgression and before it was he saw the state which Adam had in the Garden before he Fell he saw his state in the Fall and how Death reigned from Adam to Moses who received the Law which Law passed over all Transgression which Law did answer to the Witness of God in all which was a Command to people that they might not sin and that they might be kept from sin and so from Death which raigns from Adam to Moses which Law passeth over both sin and Death And this was the Higher Power higher than the Transgression which answereth to the Witness of God against the Rebellions which Witness is true holy righteous and equal which Law is just holy and good a true Measure and just Weight this is called the Higher Power this was added untill the Seed came which is Christ and this Law they were to hear even Moses To whom Wisdom was given to make the Pattern and to set forth Figures and Shaddows under the Law till Christ should come Of which Moses said The Lord will raise up a Prophet like unto me him shall ye hear in all things And when Christ himself came he put an end to all those Types Figures and Shaddows and changable things for in him there is no Shaddow who is called Gods Righteousness So the Law was in use untill the Seed came and Moses who had it said God shall raise up a Prophet like unto him and now he is come which we hear to wit the Seed who is the end of all the Prophets who Prophesied of him and so He is the end of the Law for Righteousness to every one that believe So Believers are Members of the true Church of which Christ is the Head So Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness to every one that believeth Which Christ purgeth his Floor and burneth up the Chaffe commeth with his Fan Baptizeth with his holy Spirit and Fire and bringeth his Wheat into his Garner And Christ is the end of all Oaths which were under the Law and which was before the Law viz. of Oaths which put an end to strife among Men. XIII Of the KINGDOM of CHRIST how it is held up and how not The Kingdom of Christ is not held up by Carnal Weapons for saith Christ My Kingdom is not of this World therefore his Servants fight not Now all you that profess your selves to be Christians and bringers of glad Tydings yet ye are Fighthers with Clubs and Swords about Religion you are not the Servants of Christ who are fighting for an Earthly Kingdom for in Christs Kingdom we must fight with Spiritual Weapons in Patience and Long-suffering And Christ said to his Disciples who would have had fire to come down from Heaven to consume those that were contrary to them as it was in the dayes of the Prophet Elias That they knew not what spirit they were of So they who destroy Mens Lives and doth not save them they are not according to the mind of Christ nor the way of Christ but are under the Condemnation of it neither do they know what Spirit they are of And so they who are Spiritually wise cannot commit their Souls Bodies nor Spirits into the hands of such XIV Concerning Teachers Prophets Pastors Bishops Presbyters c. Teachers Prophets Pastors Presbyters and Bishops ought not to be such as are given to filthy lucre nor covetous nor given to wine nor strikers nor brawlers nor covetous of earthly things nor to teach for filthy lucre nor to contend about words and fables and vain Phylosophy and beggarly Rudiments and Traditions and Doctrines of men nor their Commandements neither ought they to compel People to observe Dayes Meats and Drinks nor such like things nor to bear Rule by their Means nor they ought not to be such who seek their gain from their quarter such were forbidden and such as teach for money and handfulls of Barly and pieces of Bread and such as teach for lucre were forbidden and opposed by the true Prophets Teachers and Apostles and such as wore long Robes and were called of Men Master and followed and loved Salutations in Mark●ts and the uppermost Roomes at Feasts and such like all such are out of Christ and against such Christ himself cryed Woe woe who said Ye have one Master even Christ and ye are all Brethren And that it should not be so among them as it was among the Gentiles And so all they who have the Scriptures of Christ of the Apostles and Prophets and not in the Power and Spirit that gave them forth and do not obey it which reproves them that they may come into it but stop their Ears and shut their Eyes against it such are like the Pharisees these cannot worship God in the Spirit neither can they pray in the Spirit nor sing in the Spirit but quench it and burthen it and vex it These are out of the Fellowship of the Spirit and out of the Fellowship of God the Father of Spirits Those erre not knowing the Scriptures nor the Power of God And such go hither and thither to change their Way and go from the Spirit of God in their hearts which would lead them to Christ the Way the Truth and the Life So all such who have the Form of Godliness and are not in the Power and Spirit in which they were in who gave forth the words such are to be denyed And the true Praying is in the Spirit and the true Worship true Praysing and true Singing must be in the Spirit So they who grieve and vex the Spirit and quench it they cannot Worship God in the Spirit XV. An Exhortation to all Christendom to mind the Grace of God to wit the Light All ye People in that part of the World which is called Christendom come to the Light wherewith Christ hath enlightned you that with it you may see your Salvation and may know Christ you Teacher the Captain of your Salvation and the Grace which comes by him which brings your Salvation which Grace teacheth us which Grace is sufficient in weakness and temptations which brings the Salvation and by it we are saved And this Grace teacheth us to deny ungodliness and worldly Lusts and to live soberly and
