of God c. as that which they called their Creed so then they was baptized with water and called Christians whenas before they were called Heathen and did not believe that that was the Christ that suffered at Ierusalem but now called Christians and believers though they were nothing changed from the heathenish nature and this was at the first comming in of the profession of Christian faith and Religion into England and those had the writings of the Prophets and Apostles which is called Scripture and so was the keepers of the letters and that they took to be their rule to walk by as they do now but knew not that which gave it forth to lead them unto the life but had the Letter and the form but could not walk according to it being led and guided by a contrary Principle to that which gave it forth so they gave their own meanings and imaginations upon it so then all that were called Christs were of the Christian Church and faith and so were counted believers then they sprinkled the children of those believers and by that were they entertained into their Church and faith and thus came up Infants Baptisme for which there is no Scripture nor example either from Christ or his Apostles and yet they cal this an ordinance of Christ thus they begin to ad their own traditions imaginations all are by nature the children of wrath and a littlewater on their faces doth not change them from that Eph. 23.14 but they grew up in al manner of unrighteousnes as drunkenness swearing lying covetousness adultery Idolatry pride wantonness envy murder deceit fraud and maliciousness the which was cast out of the Apostles Church and they was washed from such things and sanctified and regenerate into the new-Covenant reckoned such to be without as now Englands Church is upheld by then they had their two Sacraments as they call them for which word they have no Scripture and Infants baptisme is one and that which they call the Supper of the Lord is another and they had the carnall bread and wine as the Priests and people hath now and they give it to naturall carnall men and women and the Apostle saith he that eats and drinks this unworthily eats and drinks his own damnation not discerning the Lords body And the naturall man receives not the things of God because they are spiritually discerned 1 Cor. 2.14 1 Cor. 10.16 and the bread which the Saints breaks is the Communion of the Body of Christ and the cup which the Saints drinks is the Communion of the Blood of Christ and here is the Communion of the Saints and the Supper of the Lord to which he that hath not on a wedding Garment is not admitted but Englands Priests knows not what a wedding garment is and thus they planted their church in England and other places and then Bishops was set up and Archbishops for which name there is no Scripture and Deans and Priests and Deacons and Popes and one ruled over another and the Popes bore rule like Kings but they found never a Pope in the Scripture and the Bishops they bore rule by their means the Priests preached for hire and the people loved to have it so thus Antichrist set up his Kingdom under a profession of the Gospel then tythes came up for to maintain the Priests contrary to any rule in the Gospel then Universities was set up for to make ministers or priests as they call them for the which they have no rule in the Scripture thus they was set up by the wil and tradition of man as they are stil upheld as the false Prophets alwaies was then they had their long robes like the Pharises but not like the Apostles for from them they have no such example then they set up these Idols Temples which the blind and ignorant now call Churches or the houses of God for the which they have no example from the Gospell ministers for God never commanded these to be built and though Solomon built him one Temple yet nevertheless when the substance came Matthew 24. he prophesied of its downfall and destruction and Stephen witnessed against it was stoned to death by those that upheld it Paul witnessed against it was persecuted by those that upheld it as many of the servants messengers of God are now persecuted in these Idols Temples haled out and abused stoned and imprisoned by those that uphold them now though these was never ordained by God and then they got up into their Pulpets the chiefest places in the Synagogues as they are now and called of men Master and Doctor and had the uppermost Rooms at feasts greetings in the markets as it is now and then they stole the Apostles words as the false prophets stole the word from their neighbour so did and doth those and put them into Chapter verse an● took a verse and studied from it a divination of their own brain and added to it but not from the mouth of the Lord and so doth the Priests now but they run like the false Prophets the Lord never sent them therefore they profit not the people at all and then with feigned or studied words through covetousness they made merchandise of the people as they do now and so made a prey upon the sheep as they do now began to seek about for great livings and fat benefices and left a lesser and ran to a bigger so there was their beloved which they seeked for as the false Prophets which seeked for the fleece and regarded not the flock but fed with the fat cloathed with the wool and made a prey upon the sheep as they do now and cryed peace to those that put into their mouthes and called them beloved brethren and Christians but they that did not put into their mouthes they prepared war against them and brought a Law upon them and haled them before Courts Benches as they do now thus they sought for their gain from their quarter and ruled them with rigour so that until within these late years the Priests raigned like Lords over the people contrary to the practise of the ministers of the Gospel who made themselves servants to all 1 Cor. 9.19 and though they did ordain Bishops they did not ordain that they should live of others Estates or takes the Tenthes of the increase of others labours and live like Lords over the people but said a Bishop must be blameless the Husband of one Wife vigilent sober and of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to Teach not given to Wine no striker not greedy of filthy Lucre but patient not a Brawler not Covetous 1 Tim. 3. one that ruleth well his owne House not a novis least being lifted up with pride he fall into the Condemnation of the Divell now try your Priests and Teachers by this rule but they stood not

to this who was ordained by the Pope or by the wil of man but was lifted up with pride and covetousness and greedy of filthy Lucre as they are now and so came into the condemnation of the Devil as they do now and thus your priests old father planted their Church and so set every thing in form and tradition according to their own imaginations and here is the ground and foundation of the faith and Church of England so called and here is the old Fathers and the old Authors that your Priests have so much talked of and prated of their ancient Fathers even the Popes and the Bishops and though now in words they deny the Pope and the Papists and the Bishops and differ something from the Pope in judgement yet are in the same forms Customes and Traditions and are upheld by the same Laws as they was when they was in the Popes and Bishops Loynes and thus Antichrist hath long deceived the Nations and ruled by the power of darkness under a notion or profession of the Gospell and faith of Christ and one generation hath gone and another come and have not known the Lord that bought them but by the hearing of the ear and as those that saw him knew him in whom he dwelt bore testimony and declared of him and thus the Priests could tell the people from the Records of the holy men of God what God is and what Christ is and what faith is and how Christ dyed for their sins and rose again and that Christ is a Saviour and a Redeemer and what the Apostles spoke and writ unto the Church freely they get and speak unto the world for gaine and lucre and so casts the childrens bread unto dogs and so seeds and puffs up the dark mindes of men with ayry knowledg what they have gotten into their brains from other mens words and their own imaginations and so made and makes the people believe that they are the means ordained by God now many may see by this what lyars they are and how they came up and was ordained and whose rule practise or example they follow in this they do and they wil be found the Ministers of Antichrist Look into their owne Records which they call the Book of Martyrs and such as have long shut up and do shut up the Kingdome of heaven against men and would neither enter in themselves nor suffer others that would but so long as they had power would bind all unto themselves and those that had any appearance of Light so that they came to see their deceit and seperate from them they would scarce suffer them to live amongst them but praised be the Almighty who hath so weakned their hands and shattered their foundation and caused his light so to shine out of Darkness to cause them to be so manifest so that all people who love Light better than Darkness may now see how ignorantly blindly you have bin led as strangers from the father of light after the vain traditions customes forms ordinances and imaginations of man with a vain profession and feigned faith which you have gotten into the notion but stil in you sins and iniquities alive in the first nature under deaths dominion still strangers from the God of life and from Christ the Saviour and Redeemer of his people from their sins and thus you lye under the power of Darkness and delusion of Antichrist Hos 4.9 Isa 9.10 both Priest and people for like people like Priest and so saith the Prophet and your Leaders cause you to erre by their lyes and by their lightness and though you be full of teachers yet you are lost for want of true knowledge and are stil led captive in your sins and iniquities after these who have gotten the form but deny the life and power ever learning and never comes to the knowledg of the truth in your selves only differing from the heathen in name and profession judgment or opinion but still alive in the same nature in the fall under the Curse the children of disobedience in whom doth rule the Prince of Darkness and you must have a Law without to keep you in awe and feare of the same as they have whom you account heathen but the Righteous needs no Law for because of transgression the Law was added and you are fighting killing and devouring one another as they do whom you account heathen you are Drunkards Swearers and Lyers as they are Scoffers Gal. 3.19 scornrs and Revilers and Back-biters and Whoremongers and Adulterers and proud and covetous Idolaters and high minded oppressors as they are both Priest and people and you are Idolaters as they are eating and drinking and rising up to play and you are envious and malicious suing and rending and tearing one another at the Law both Priest and people pulling down others to set up your selves and you are dissembling cozening cheating defrauding one another of the earth which is none of your own you are persecutots stoners strikers of the innocent children servants messengers of God and what sin is there amongst those whom you account heathen that is not amongst you doth abound yea those whom you account heathen may condemn you inmuch of their practise Oh! be ashamed and blush you Priests and teachers of England to see your Ministry and the fruits of your Ministry so laid open before you and thus you are these who come neare the Lord with your lips and mouthes but your hearts are far from him in the earth or else you would walk more uprightly Math. 15.9 but saith the Lord in vaine do you worship me teaching for Doctrine the Commandments of men but I know some Pharisees and Priests will be ready to say we are no drunkards nor swearers nor such like but I say unto you you are hypocrites and your hearts are full of deceit envy wrath and bitterness covetousness pride and earthly mindedness and selfe love and selfe-wisdome and persecutors and the greatest oppressors of the truth and Publicans and Harlots shall enter the kingdome before you Jesus Christ the Light marked out your fore-fathers and found them to be such though they was more strickt and zealous than this generation and by the same Light you are found in their steps and those things both Christ and his Apostles judged to be without and condemned them out of the new Covenant for there no unrighteous person can dwel and there all wars are ended and the swords beat into pruning hooks and guns into plowshares and there is no oppression nor selfe-exalting Math. 20 21. Isa 54.13 14. Rom. 8.1 but hee that would be the greatest must be the least and in righteousness are they established and they are far from oppression and the Lord alone is their teacher and there is no need of an outward Law for to them there is no condemnation who walk not after the flesh but after

be taken and all that receive his marke and worship his image into the Lake shal go small and great and there to lye forevermore Mat. 31.42.44 and this is the stone which the builders have rejected which now is become the head of the corner and whomsoever falls upon it shal be broken but on whomsoever it falls it wil grind them to powder this is the Stone cut out of the mountain without hands which strikes at the feet of the Image here is a blow to the foundation of the priests church of England Therefore now all people who are captivated under the Priests turne your minds within to the Light of the Lord Jesus which reproves you in secret when you tel a lye or use any deceit which shewes you your evill deeds and that your hearts are not right towards God for all your duties and shorship and profession and that which cals for uprightness of heart and an holy life and a change and reformation and a newness of life hearken unto this it is the free grace of God unto your souls and teacheth freely and by this you wil come to profit for it teacheth godliness and godliness is great gain so that you will not need to spend your moneys for that which is not bread 1 Tim. 6 6. Isa 59.1 2. nor your labor for that which profiteth not nor to be led captive by your blind guides ever learning and never come to the knowledge of the truth but stil in blindness and darkness for you have a teacher within which is a more sure word of prophesie 2 Pet. 1.19 to the which you do wel to take heed unto as to a Light shining in a dark place untill the day dawn and the Day-Star arise in your hearts this is the measure of the grace of God even the free gift of God which God hath given you to profit withal which wil accuse you or excuse you before the throne of God to which I now leave you having discharged my conscience concerning you and so I proceed to the rest of forms Now within these late yeers the Light of Christ beginning to stir in peoples hearts so that many come to see themselves in much darkness and ignorance of these things which they read of in the Scripture and also the corruption of the Priests and Teachers and what Reprobates they were concerning the faith and that they profited not the people at all but they had heard them so long and still blind and ignorant so that many come to see their folly yet their minds not being directed to the light which showed them this and should have led them out of this condition upon which they should have waited for direction to have found the way of truth but they run without to the Letter in their own wils and wisdome and so would find out a way by their own wisdome and imagination and so went out to search the Scripture but with a wrong eye giving their own meanings and interpretations upon the Scripture and one cries this is my opinion and another cries this is my opinion and another cries this is my judgment and thus they are confounded and divided into their severall judgments and opinions yet all still in one life and one Nature but onely confounded and divided in their judgments of what the Prophets meant and Christ meant and what the Apostles meant but it is as a Book sealed both to the learned and unlearned and none is found worthy but the Lamb to open the seals Isa 29.11 who is the light wherein lies the Ministry so this is the cause why they whose mindes are from the light are so divided and scattered in their judgments and opinions and one sets up a form in his imagination and another sets up a Forme in his immagination and one runs abroad into the world with his wisdome and he wil go preach up his form and judgment to be the truth and another he wil cry down that form for delusion anp preach up his form for a truth and so many deceivers and false Spirits are entred into the world and one cries lo here is Christ if you can believe and be baptised you shall be saved so they that can say that is the way and that they believe Christ dyed for them then they must be dipped in the water and that they call baptising of them and then they are of their Church and then they call themselves Saints though they are stil in the old nature and so in the fall and in their sins and corruptions and it is not the washing away the filth of the flesh that doth change them but because they are come out from the Priests and turnd into another judgment and profession they think themselves Saints Acts 19.6 and they read the Scripture of laying on the Apostles hands and then the disciples received the Holy Ghost and so those formalists and selfe-actors layes on their hands but there wants the Holy Ghost and thus they act and form and imitate and make the form or likeness of a Church and they read of washing the feet in the figure and so they dote upon the Letter Iohn 13 5. 1 Cor. 5.1 2 3 4 5. and wash one anothers feet and they read of delivering up to Satan one for fornication for the destruction of the flesh in the name and power of our Lord Jesus Christ for in the spirit Paul discerned it for saith he though absent in body yet present in spirit I have judged already as though I were present concerning him that hath done this deed and so those formalists imitators if any differ from them in judgment they wil also deliver him up to Satan as they imagine taking the Apostles words though they cannot tax him for any thing but his judgment differing from them but they want the power and here they are the Magicians like Iannes and Iambres opposing the truth and those are they that are called Baptists and another form they are more spirituall in their judgment and they hold a spirituall baptisme and not a water baptisme and as many as hold with them are of their Church and faith and thus they are devided into several forms and Churches and so have several names and there are severall judgments of one thing under one name and here is the confusion of Babylon with their severall sects judgments and opinions and every one professing the name of the Lord and stealing the words of the Prophets Christ and his Apostles and saying the Lord saith when he never spoke to them and here the difference from another onely in profession judgment or opinion but stil in Babylon and Babylons fashions customes and traditions and fellowship manners and breeding which is all heathenish and at enmity with God being in the fall and thus they stand in the first nature in pride in covetousness anger wrath malice fleshliness and lustfulness and idle words vain

doe walk and serve and worship him in spirit and in truth and such is the Father seeking to worship him Iohn 4.23 24 in whom he is in doing his own ork even to destroy the old Creation and create new Heavens and new Earth wherein dwelleth Righteousness and those are they that are the new creatures in whom this new work is witnessed in whom the Father hath manifested his Son that in the likeness of sinful flesh he might condemn sin in the flesh and to bind the strong man and cast him out of his house and spoyl his goods and so to destroy the works of the Devil and to cut down the Man of Sin even that son of perdition who is exalted above all that is called GOD sitting in the Temple of God as God and saith he is God this is he by whom the world is deceived who is the God of the world even the Prince of Darkness who rules in all the Children of Disobedience and so said Iohn in the light the whole world lies in wickedness and unto this doth Christ come with a sword for to make war with him and to take and bind him and cast him into utter darkness and so to take his Kingdom from him and to rule himself in righteousness And this is the King of the SAINTS who is now come to redeem unto himself a pure people and to wash them and clense them from their sinnes by his BLOOD and so to wash away all filthiness both of Flesh and Spirit and this is the Baptism by which they are received into his Church and Faith and here is the effect of his BLOOD wrought in MAN and thus he doth and will manifest his mighty power to purifie and clense and make Man a fit Temple for himself to dwell in and thus is GOD with us manifested in Flesh and thus are the Saints Bodies made the TEMPLES of the HOLY GHOST and thus is the word of Life and Reconciliation witnessed to the raising up the Soul to Life and reconciling the Soul to GOD and those are they that are begotten and born again of the Immortal Word which dwelleth and abideth for ever and here is the Houshold of God the Houshold of Faith and the Houshold of Love 1 Iohn 1.1 who speak the things which they have heard and seen and tasted of the good Word of Life which was in the beginning and those are the children of Light who are gathered out of the darke Forms Judgments and Opinions into the life and power of godliness to walk in the Light of Life wherein they are gathered and united by the one Spirit of Love and Life into one body of which Christ is head and here is the true Church which the Lord is a gathering and washing and cleansing and purifying by his Spirit that he may redeem unto himself a pure Church not having spot or wrinckle or any such thing whose insides are washed and made clean through the Word Iohn 15. by which they are reconciled into the love and union which springs from the Life of God and here is the Vine and the Branches and here is the communion of the Church all feeding upon one Bread all drinking upon one cup this is Christ the Life of the Saints and as many as are baptized into this Church partake of this communion and those are they which have denied themselves and have borne the Cross of Christ by which they are crucified to the world and the world to them who are gathered into one Covenant of Life where all are Fellow-Servants under one MASTER who serve one another in love and meeknesse and here is the true Humility in the HEART wrought and here is the true washing of feet without Hypocrisie which some are imitating without for LIFE but falls short for the heart the Lord requires And thus is the Church of Christ gathered by one spirit and by the same circumcised and baptised into one Light and Life and Power where all dwell as MEMBERS of one BODY of which CHRIST is the HEAD And here is the blessed Union and Communion in one and here God is worshipped in Spirit and in Truth and as CHRIST is spiritual so is his Body and so is his Ordinances and here are the true Christians not those that onely have the Notion of those things but they that witness and possess this in Life and they that believe hath the witness within themselves and they that believe have passed from death unto life and the life which they now live in is by faith in the Son of God which faith is without respect of persons who are the new creatures who are in Christ Jesus to whom there is no condemnation who walk not after the FLESH but after the SPIRIT Gal. 5.23 for against such there is no LAW for they are translated out of that NATURE for which the LAW was added and are set free by the Law of the Spirit of Life and are made partakers of the Divine nature of Christ Rom. 8.2 1 Iohn 4.17 by which they are made Christians and therefore saith Iohn as he is so are we in this prasent world and such now witnesses the effect of the blood of Christ wrought within them and the end of his coming and the benefit of his Death who are dead with him and risen through the death of the Cross and these are they that have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Son of God within them Christ within the hope of Glory or else no hope of Glory for they that cannot witness him so 2 Cor. 13.5 Iohn 17.23 are in the Reprobation so saith the Apostle and here is the Son in the Saints and the Father in the Son and thus are all made perfect in one and here is the true Church where there is but one Teacher one Lord one Faith one Baptisme one Light one Life and one way one Shepherd and one Sheepfold and one Priest over the houshold of God and one hope and one language one family and one God and father of all and they that cannot witness this are Strangers to Christ and Strangers to his Cross and Strangers to the Commonwealth of Israel And this is the work which the Lord now hath begun and is carrying on by a strong arm and mighty power to redeem unto himselfe a pure Church and blessed are they that hearken unto his voyce Here all you Formalists Imitators and selfe-acters are shut out here all you proud ones are shut out here all you lustful ones fleshly ones and carnal ones are shut out and all you that are conformed like unto the world in their fashions in their customes in their words in their ways in their worships and traditions in their love and in their fellowship who are seeking the glory and honor and riches of this world you are the children of this World under the Dominion of the GOD of the WORLD whose Kingdom is

according to their form with their stoln words Reply Now for the truths sake for which thou John Ray hast cast us out of your society we shall hereby cleare our selves from what is or may be cast upon us in this matter by thee John Ray and the rest of thy society whom we know to be most bitter slanderers of the truth This we deny that ever we was Elders in the church of Christ you made us Elders in your church who call your selves jews and are not but the Synagogue of Satan out of which you have cast us but not before we forsaked you we by the light of Iesus Christ through the love of God seeing both you and we setting our selves of acting and imitating the Apostles in our wils with a blind zeal for life but strangers to the life and power neither could witness the same infallible spirit as they had as you know we all confessed and therefore we had nothing but what we got into our brains of their words and so got a notion with adding to our own imaginations of them and wresting the same with our fallible spirits for we durst not say it was infallible as you also confessed your selves then it must needs be fallible for there are but two kindes of SPIRITS and if not the INFALLIBLE then the fallible and though we did the very same things and spoke the same words and not from the same Spirit it was all false and as nothing as they that swore God lived swore falsely for they that have not the Spirit of Christ are none of his and his spirit is infallible in the least measure and thus you are shut out in all that you can do of your selves with your formed Ordinances and this we know we was also strangers to the Cross of Christ and the Light and Life and Power of Christ which the Apostles lived in and also the one Baptisme of Christ without which none can be his Disciples so we was only jews outwardly washing the outside but within as foul as ever as you also are yet we say not but we had a zeale in the same though not according to knowledge but now the true Light is sprung in through the mighty love of God towards us so that we see the weakness of our own actings and formings in our own wils for life and now are made willing through the power of God to lay down our crowns at the feet of Iesus and to wait in what he hath given us of his Light and we have tasted of his powerful VVord through his gracious love towards us and now we have a witness vvithin our selves whenas before we knew it not but murdered it as you also do and for this you have cast us out of your society but not for fornication as he was in that place of Scripture which you imitate 1 Cor. 5. nor for making shipwrack of faith and a good conscience for we witness an increase of both but the discerning and power is wanting in you and so you do you know not what but know this we are not fallen to a looser life but to a more stricter severe life for to serve the Lord Iesus Christ but remember this that if they that believed your form to be the truth could but patter over a few words of faith and call it theirs and then according to your form they was put into the VVater and taken out again and then received into your Church and communion though no change of life or nature and this must needs be the Synagogue of Satan and this I Samuel Cater can vvitness for so have I baptised and at you I learned and you allovved of it but novv my eye is opened I do see it and do testifie against it that all I did so by I deceived them though then I confess it vvas ignorance and so vvas yours but novv you might see if you vvould therefore it shall no more be called ignorance but vvilful blindness but I knovv you vvill alledge you teach Godliness and holyness but I ansvver you run and the Lord never sent you as vve also did therefore you profit not the people at all and if you had not the VVords of Godliness and the form 2 Cor. 11.14 15 then the Ministers of Antichrist vvould not be like the Ministers of Christ but you are but I say your lives comes short of vvhat you profess for in them there is no change but they that are Earthly Minded and Covetous are so stil and your lives are in pride ambition and arrogancy puffed up vvith your vain knovvledg and vvith respect of persons and so are out of the faith of Christ and in vvrath and anger and envy and bitterness and in lying and slandering and backbiting and lust fleshliness we formerly being in the same Society do witness it now our eys are open out of which society you have cast us and praised be the Lord that vve have escaped the snares of darkness by the bright shining of his light into our dark hearts to the vvhich light do vve speak in you all by it to read your selves and judge your selves for by it are you seen and judged to be in darkness and in confusion out of the faith and society of the Saints but these things do vve not speak out of envy or Revenge but for the clearing of the Truth and our consciences from your slanderous tongues and to lay oped your deceit and vvay of delusion to the simple that they may escape the delusion vvhich vve vvas ensnared in and that so you may proceed no further vvith it that your folly might be manifested to all men as theirs vvas vvho vvithstood Moses E.C. S.C. A Copy of the most of the Queries aforesaid was given to this Ray but no Answer did he return NOw a word to all you who are stil in your own formings selfe-actings Rom. 8.7 and imitatings you are acting in that nature which is at enmity with God which is not subject to the Law of God neither can so all your formings and actings is in vain for it is not from life but from death for life but life comes from death for in the destruction of death is life obtained therefore to the light of the Lord Jesus in all your consciences take heed which is the witness for God to which I speak in you all which witnesseth for God against the secrets of your hearts which reproves you in secret for your secret actions and deeds of darkness and it will search you through and let you see what you can witness of the work of God in you hearts for all this your long and great profession and esteeming your selves of the Church and faith of Christ and Saints in Christ so if you can witness yet the earth quakes and that the earth is yet removed out of its place and mountains removed by the eye of faith and if the vail of darkness be yet rent Is not
