they will not eat your gods and your christs that you have made and Worship it And is not this worse then the Heathen Did the Heathen eat their gods when they had made them So it is clear that you are erred from the Catholique Cross which is the Power of God from the Catholique Faith that works by Love from the Catholique Head Christ Jesus from the Catholique Church the Body of Christ Jesus and cannot maintain your rudiments nor your christ that you have made to the Apostles days for did they set up any such thing Your doctrine concerning Purgatory Meats Drinks Holy-dayes Lent nor your Cloths nor your Bell Book and Candle nor your Popes Head of the Church none of these things can you maintain nor your Persecuting about Religion nor your Mass-mongrey-Stuff nor your several Orders nor your Triple-Crowns nor your Nunneries nor your Crucifixes nor your forbidding to Marry not your Schools of Arts to make Ministers none of all these things can you make good that they were acted or practised by the Apostles or that they did persecute any people about outward things 10thly You are a Seditious Sect and have left the Commands of Christ Jesus who saith Freely you have received and Freely give therefore you who have set up both Easter-Reckonings and Midsummer-Dues and Tythes are a Sect that serve your selves and not Christ Jesus that mind Earthly things and are Enemies to the Cross of Christ and are gone in the way of Cain to Envy Gainsaying Carah against the true Church and its practice and run after the Error of Balaam for Gifts and Rewards the Wages of Unrighteousness Unrighteous Wages and like to Flimas the Sorcerer who seek to turn People from the Catholique Faith that works by Love whose Eyes are blind groping up and down in your Rudiments and among your Idols and Inventions of your Fore-fathers who erred from the true Church And as for the Pelagian-Heresie look at home you Papists and as for the Arians you may look at home for we are none of that spirit Whereas thou givest us a Catalogue of some that did succeed Peter at Rome or Paul but thou doest not tell us of Pope Jone and make a Catalogue of her that had a Bastard nor thou dost not tell us of the Bishop of Rome whom thou callest Pope that sacrificed to the Heathen gods and denied Christ What will you say that these were Rebellious Actions And thou dost not tell us of Boniface the third set up by Phocas that murdered his Master Mauritius about six hundred years after Christ then began your firs● general Pope and you may say if you should do so Satan would be divided against Satan and so could not stand You are far from giving freely who have set up so many Glebe-land and Tythes and I aster-reckonings and fat Parsonages that you might live in the Glory of the World not like a suffering Seed but that you are Enemies to the suffering Seed 11thly You are a Seditious Sect you have cast the Royal Law of God behind your backs which teacheth to do unto others as you would others should do unto you for would you have others to Burn you to Hang you to Imprison you because that you do not conform to their Way or Religion Would you have the Turks and Tartars and Protestants and Jews to Rack and Torture and make Inquisitians for you and Burn you and Hang you because that you do not conform to their Religion Blind the Royal Law of God To do to others as you would have them to do unto you Speak plainly if you can or date or is Ishmael that S●●ff●r Cain the first Persecutor of his Brother Nebuchadnezar and Hammon and the Murdering Jews and the Devil the Dragon become Christians Are not you sound in this nature to the brim And was this divine Cain was a mighty man in Arts as high as you and so was Nimrod in his Building but God confounded him and his Works and so he will do yours it is all under the Chain together with the Workmen And are not you more like to the proud Pharisees with their long Robes that love to be called of men Master and the Gentiles Gratious Lords who loved the Praise of men and Honour one of another a Mark of no Believer Is not this Ti●le and these things forbidden by Christ Jesus See John 5. But I must tell you in your Catalogue you say that many did succeed Peter Where do you read that in all his time he was called Gratious Lord or Pope or that Timothy or Titus or any other that he was set up above another by the Apostles Did not Paul reprove Peter for some things This makes nothing for the Pope the Catalogue you have brought neither doth it suit the matter for your whole Church as you call it together with your Head the Pope is judged by Christ and the Apostles and the primitive Church and therefore because that you have lost the Key of David and Tongue of the Learned the Pope must have the outward Key and you must have the Tongues that begin at Babel which your Brother Pilate set on the top of Christ when he Crucified him and therefore must studdy Arts and so Tubal Cain and this proves you a Seditious Sect and have lost the Crown of Life and therefore he must set up 3. Crowns on his head a Triple-crown this becomes the old Fool that is erred from the Spirit that maketh wise and gives understanding he is far short of them that said An outward Crown did not become a Preacher of the Gospel Let him look the History and see if he can sind such a one in the Church-History before the Pope was But his Head must be beyond Nebuchadnezars Head of Gold for he sets a Tripple-crown upon h●s bead But there is a Stone cut out of the Mountain without hands that will dash his Head of Gold to pieces with his Crown So it is not the handy works of mens hands make them never so strong that will stand before this Stone Glory to God in the highest forever And this Stone will become a great Mountain and fill the whole Earth it is encreasing and in vain do the Pot-shreds of the Earth and Briars and Thorns set themselves in Battel-array against it for his Ensign and Flag of Defiance against all Idolatry with their Idols is hell forth and his Truth spreads and his Light shines by which they all see the Foundation and Rock of Ages And this Stone is fallen upon your Head and Body and will grind you to Powder for when your Head is dead you make another with a great deal of quarrel and strife and many times Blood is shed that some of your Members are killed about making of a head when the body makes him like to frantick men that have lost their Brains But for your Racks Fires and Fagots your rude Rabble would never be kept in order for that noble

Spirit and noble Mind of Christ Jesus the Heavenly Man the second Adam that rebuked his Disciples that would have had Fire to come down from Heaven to consume them as the Prophets did that would not receive them and Christ told them that they knew not what spirit they were of that would have had mens lives taken away and destroy them and this was by way of Prayer Shall we Pray that Fire come down c. Now if they did not know what spirit they were of the Disciples of Christ Jesus who would have Fire to come down to consume the People they would not do it by Inquisitians and outward Burnings by Stacks of Faggots nor Hang ing of them as you have done Therefore have you known what spirit you are of Have you known your own spirits either Pope or Cardinal or Friars c. that have burned and racked and put to Death so many Thousands since the Apostles dayes since you got up with your counterfeit Church and Heads And so you that do not know what spirit you are of your selves do you think that any that know God or Christ will trust their bodies or their souls or spirits in your hands that do not know what spirit you are of your selves Then they may say they have lost their Reason and Understanding like your selves But Christ's Prophesie is come upon you John's Revelation and the Apostles That the Man of sin and Son of perdition is exalted above all that is called God in you and so there might be a ceparting away from Truth and then the man of sin should be revealed and there must be a falling away and so he is revealed now Thes 2.2 but the Lord will consume him with the Breath of his Mouth and destroy him with the Brightness of his coming that Satan that hath been working in you all those lying Signs and Wonders with the deceivableness of Unrighteousness in you that Perish because you receive not the Love of the Truth that you might be saved For this cause God hath sent strong Delusions among you that you should believe a Lye that they might be damned who believe not the Truth but have had pleasure in all your unrighteous doings and ●ctions and bloodthirstiness But we are bound to give God Thanks always through Jesus Christ who hath called us by his Gospel to obtain the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Head of our Church But It 's clear you are of them that have smitten your Fellow-Servants and have eaten and drunken with the Drunkards for what must you look for but to be cut assunder and appointed your Portion with Hypocrites where is Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth Mat. 24. And you have made salfe christs and shewed your Signs and Wonders if it were possible to deceive the very Elect but it is not possible the Elect was before the World was And so you are the unprofitable Servants that have hid your Tallent the fruit of which is Love under your earthly Traditions your earthly Idols and Rudiments your own Inventions and Works of your own hands and the fear you teach your people is by your own precepts which you never had from God Christ nor his Apostles and instead of Clothing the Naked and Feeding the Hungry and Receiving Strangers and Visiting the Sick you have made Naked you have made Sick you have made Strangers and in as much as you have done it to these true Christians you have done it to Christ the Head And why Because they will not own your Idolatrous Wayes and Idols your counterfeit Head your counterfeit Church and instead of Visiting in Prison you have cast into Prison and there let them Perish Hear the Sentence of the Head of the Church for all your evil doings and works Depart from me for you must go into everlasting Punishment yea depart from me ye cursed into everlasting Fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Then what have you got here by all your Merits by all your Works your tinckling Cymbals your founding Brass who have not had love Have you given your Goods to the Poor Could you give your Bodies to be Burned Have you Tongues Hebrew Greek and Latine and full of Envy and Blood-thirstiness and void of Love A seditious Sect degenerated Have you Faith It 's but a dead one one that doth not work by Love for Love is the fulfilling of the Law Is not the Birth of the Flesh sound amongst you of Hagar that persecutes him that is born of the Spirit the Free-womans Children And so are not you the dishonourable Birth that must be cast out And are not the works of the Flesh manifest amongst you as Adultery Fornication Vncleanness Lasciviousness Idolatry Witch-craft Hatred Variance Emulations Wrath Strife Sedition Heresie Envy Murder Drunkenness Revilling such like Look upon your church are not all these found Look over Ireland on your Holy-dayes what Drunkeness I never saw so many people drunk as I do of your people on that you call Peter's-day but the fruits of the spirit it is Love Joy Peace Gentleness Patience Meekness Goodness Long suffering Faith Temperance but these are wanting among you and the other Fruits plentifully may be gathered of your corrupt Trees that cannot bring forth good Fruit who are Strangers to the Covenant of Promise without the Hope that purisies as he is pure therefore you must have a Purgatory when you are dead and so are like a Company of Heathen Priests raging for your Images and your Idols and your godds you have made of Bread and Wine and christs and are ignorant of them that preach the true Doctrine of the Apostles who preached the Word in the Heart and Mouth and Christ was in people except they were Reprobates though they have had Bread and Wine The Apostles tell people no where that Bread and Wine was Christ after they had blessed it the Apostle tells them of an Anointing within them that should teach them and as it doth teach them they should continue in the Son and in the Father and as he was so were they in the present evil World So they need not have a Purgatory but you are all in your Purgatories already Head and Tail and Body already seperated from God and the true Church and Head And so as Christ said False Prophets should come Mat. 7.2 and Antichrists and bid the Disciples not to go after them for they should be inwardly ravening Wolves having Sheeps-Clothing And so its clear that you have the Sheeps-clothing that you are inwardly ravening Wolves that have worried so many Sheep and Lambs but you have prey'd upon them and made War with the Remnant of the Seed of the Woman and have drunk the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus So as Christ said they should come and John said they were come and it was the last time then and they went forth into the World and the World went after them and so you were the

of Rome with all her Old-Womans Fables this thou tearmest to be a Scoff But is it not a Scoff in thee to call us the Young Woman for calling that the Mother Church of Rome the Old Woman with her Fables that Harlot who hath drunk the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus she hath 〈◊〉 ●onour from God nor her saints and her Reward will be the Flames and all that hold her up the Flames of Hell read in the Revelation her Portion And there is no comparison between your Mystery Babylon and the Old Woman of Rome that you cry up so and Christ Jesus the Saviour and the true Church but it manifests your Ignorance and Darkness and as them that call Darkness Light and Light Darkness Good Evil and Evil Good And your Mother Rome doth begin to be out of date and is out of date with many that are come to Christ Jesus their Head the true Church and do lay her aside like an old Almanack Thou sayest because we call her the Old Woman of Rome this was enough to convince us of our Arguments Nay nay she is a Harlot and not the Spouse of Christ you speak as men that have lost your brains For though we do say the Old Woman with all her Fables yet we deny her to be the Spouse of Christ Jesus for she hath shed the Blood of the Martyrs and is brim full of Idolatry and her Cup is full of Abominations which corrupt the Earth and to the Brim she must have a Cup of Indignation of the Wrath of the Lord God Almighty And as for the Weather-cocks blown about with every rew and false doctrine look into your own Fields and look at Rome How many false Doctrines have blown you about and false Wayes and several Images and Orders have you set up since the Apostles dayes by that persecuting murdering spirit Do not you call your old Mass-house your Church Do not you Worship there And when you come into them do not you put off your Hats And do not you worship when your Host is carried and fall upon your knees and worship your Image Is not here your Church founded upon Idolatry And did not the Apostles speak of your Antiquity and worshipping of Angels and that were Intruders into those things that they did not see that did not hold the Head and neglect the Body and so you are Worshippers of Angels and neglect the Head and have set up a Head of your own making And have not the Gates of Hell prevailed against your outward House which you call a Church and your People Now you seem to shuffle and call the People your Chruch and say The Gates of Hell hath not prevailed against your Church that is against your People The Reason you say is The Spirit of Truth Christ saith shall lead his Church into a●●●●th which he would send to them And Christs saying to Peter Vpon this Rock will I build my Church And therefore because Christ said these words to his Disciples therefore the Gates of Hell hath not prevailed against your Church and your Church hath stood without Interruption to this present day neither Fails nor Corrupts Mark People how impudent these Men are What without blushing they can speak such words Is not all their Brothel-house and Stew-houses and Fornication and Adultery is not this Uncleanness And all their Idols and Images from their false Church silled to the brim with that And all their bloody Persecutions is not this from an unclean spirit But he saith Their Church hath stood without the least Interruption And now people you know that since Boniface the third the first Universal Pope was set up by a Murderer one Phocas who Murdered his Master and since their Church hath been held up by Murder he saith That their Church hath stood without the least Interruption Now since the Pope got up did not the Turk get up And did not the Turk get from the Pope Jerusalem Constantinople Aegypt Greece and many other Parts of the World that might be mentioned How can these men be so audations as to say Their Church hath stood without Interruption And if the Turk be the Gates of Hell he hath prevailed against you And are there not Protestants in France Yea at Rome Protestants in Switzerland Protestants in Germany and many Princes as King of Denmark King of Sweedeland and Low-Countries and Ireland Scotland and England and other places which have forsaken the Pope and his Church in words Now have not the Gates of Hell prevailed against this People Have not these Papists lost their Reason and Understanding as men What hath not the godd of the World blinded you that you cannot see Oh that men should be so blind and so bold to utter such Falshood as to say That it hath been without the least Interruption the Pope and false Church Nay it is their City that hath been divided what I yars are these I that love to Lye to Flatter and Dissemble on this manner and to Deceive the Simple they are simple indeed that will be deceived Alas alas You are driven up into a narrow scantling over you were at first Did not you Burn with Fire and Fagot in England in Bonner's time If these be the Gates of Hell they have prevailed against you and your counterfeit Church too and your Head also And it hath been the unclean Ghost that came from the Dragon that hath led you into all these Images and Idolatry and Sedition and Blackness and Darkness which is over you We know that Christ did pray to the Father and he hath sent the Spirit of Truth that leads the true Church into all Truth of which Church Christ is the Head And whereas thou speakest Of Peters Feeding his Lambs and Sheep you have torn the Sheep in pieces and Lambs also and rul'd by Force and Cruelty and sed the Wolves and Peter having Power to Bind and so did the rest of the Apostles and to Loose What is this to your counterfeit Church whom the Gates of Hell hath prevailed against And a great stir you make to hold up the Pope your counterfeit Head And you cavel at that in the Acts of Peter's being sent by the Disciples to Preach Acts 8. for you would fain have Peter a Pope that you may hold up your Pope and this clearly proves that Peter was not above his Brethren but they were all Brethren as Christ said they were his Brethren you abuse Christs words in saying that he made him the greatest and Head for Christ tells his Disciples all his True Church are Brethren But doth thy Christ that is made of Bread and Wine tell thee that Peter was Head And so you will make a Head of the Pope and your Pope and you will be Pead of your christ that you have made and Christ said to his Disciples when they were at Strise who should be counted greatest Christ tells them The Kings of the Gentiles exercise Lordship

Fore-men of the World that led into Error as you may read in John and Mat. 7.21 A dread Timothy where the spirit speaks expresly in the latter dayes of forbidding Marriage and of 〈◊〉 the doctrine of Devils And read Jude such as should go in Cain's way and Balaam's way and Corah's way gainsaying the Gospel persecuting for Gifts and Rewards and here your Fruits are clearly seen the Son of Righteousness shines over your heads amongst his Peop●e and so here you went from the Apostles Head Christ if you had been of them no doubt but you would have continued with them Christ saw you inwardly ravening from the Spirit of God from the Spirit of Truth the Word of God in the Heart from the true Faith that works by Love from the true Doctrine and so are up to the very brim in false doctrine and Idols and Images of your own making and Inventions and so you may see in the Revelation how the Beasts got up the first out of the Sea the second out of the Earth and how the Dragon gave his Power to the Beast and how his Worship was set up and how the Whore the false Church got up and there are the Names of the Beast which we leave you to interpret and how long the Beast must be worshipped and how long the true Church was to be in the Wilderness and to be fed of God and the Man-Child taken up to God and he should be brought forth again and to rule all Nations with a Rod of Iron and the Bride should come forth again and the Marriage of the Lamb should be known again and the Lamb and the Saints should have the Victory So read your Antiquity and how that all that would not receive the Beast's Mark and drink the Whores Cup the false-church she drunk the Blood of the Saints What hath she been as a Queen and hath she seen no sorrow But now is she losing her Children and the Scripture is fulfilling Glory be to the Lord God forever But you shall cry Alas Alas What have we had a Golden Cup that is full of Abomination What have your Kings drunk it and do some begin to hate her Oh! You must drink the Cup of the fierceness of the Wrath of God Almighty before this cup of Abomination be purged out of you The Angels begin to sound their Trumpets and the Everlasting Gospel is preached a●ain and that makes you to roar it sounds to Rome and to the Turks and to the Maguls the Jews and Gentiles the Everlasting Power of God before the Devil was will awaken you The Gospel-Bell begins to Ring it is beyond Aaron's Bells Christ the High-Priest is entring into his Temple For had you been of the Apostles no doubt but you would have continued with them for your doctrine is forbid by Christ and his Apostles for Christ bid F●ed my Lambs And you Wolves worry them and have got the Sheep Clothing in three or four Languages you have learned naturally and they that had the gift of Tongues were but tinckling Cymbals and sounding Brass who had not love and therefore all your Sounds it hath been but in comparison the sound of Brass and your tinckling but as Cymbals and your own Inventions And so your head is false not being found of that Catholique Faith that works by Love And the Word of the Lord God is kindling that Fire that will burn the Whores Flesh and will take her together with the Beast and the Dragon and cast her and them alive into the Lake of Fire What you to profess Christ Jesus in words and Murder and Persecute the true Christians to death What is this but Ishmael and Cain and Sodom and Egypt and the Jews and the Heathens spirit and nature and the Whore and the Beast and the Dragon and the Devil and false Prophets and false Apostles and Antichrist against the true Apostle and Christ Jesus who saith Love Enemies Love one another Oh Seditious Sect For when the second Beast rose out of the Earth then all your earthly Idols were established earthly Inventions earthly Images and then got your Whore on the top of the Beast your false Church Mystery Babylon arrayed in Purple and Scarlet deckt with Gold and Precious-Stones and Pearls do you see how she is decked a Golden Cup in her hand full of Abomination of Filthiness of Fornication and upon her head written Mystery Babylon the great the Mother of Harlots Yea of all the Harlots from God from Christ from the Apostles from the Spirit from the Faith from the Truth from the Power of God the Cross of Christ from the Righteousness and from Christ the true Head and from the true Church And this Whore thus decked has drunk the Blood of the Saints and Jesus his Martyrs Who cannot but wonder to see such a Monster And from whence came he that this Whore this Woman this false Church sits upon but from the Bottomless-pit and thither must they return again with his Horns And now is the Cry is Come out of her my People signifying that God hath a People to come out there lest they be Partakers of her Plagues This is the day that the Lord is calling Come out of her my People we have heard his Voice and can rejoyce over her for God will be avenged on her and she shall be cast down like a mighty Mill-stone read Rev. 17. For mark Here is the Devil the Dragon and the Whore and the false Prophet as Companions that came out of the Beast like Froges These go altogether to wit the Beast and the Dragon and the Whore on the top of the Beast the Dragons Power and his worship hath been set up and she is riding on the Devils power killing and murdering the Lord Jesus his Martyrs and Prophets What! Hath your Church lived deliciously and been as a Queen and no Widdow Doth she profess to be a Married Wife and a Queen She hath made many of her Merchants rich and is not she become the Habitation of Devils and Hold of every foul spirit and Cage of every hateful Bird And hath not the Beast had two Horns like a Lamb and exercised the power of the first Beast and all that will not worship and receive h●s Image and drink the Whores Cup must be made war against and their Blood drunk The Son of Righteousness is risen that shines that shews his Horns his Marks his Names what is written upon the Whores Fore-head and so against them that have kept the Testimony of Jesus the Spirit of Prophesie by which they have seen you you have made War against them and against them that have kept the Commands of God the Remnant of her Seed which is the Seed of the Woman whom the Dragon was wrath withal and was fled into the Wilderness there to be fed of God one thousand two hundred sixty dayes and this Dragon gave his power to your Beast that the Whore sits upon and so by

the Dragons power she rules And out of this Beasts power have your false Prophet gone crooking up and down the Nations and creeping under the Mountain like Froggs the unclean spirits and these spirits are Devils that came out of the Mouth of the Beast and false Prophet that should work Miracles and deceive the World But a day of Famine will come and Plague and Death to this Life that you live in and flaming Fire for strong is the Lord God that judgeth her the great Whore and false Church her smoak is seen and we know that you will begin to knaw your tongues for Pain for your Kingdom is full of Darkness For the Angel hath Power over your Thrones and your Rivers will be dried up which is muddy Water For hath not your City bin divided into three parts and the Turk got one part and the Protestants another And all your noisom Smells begin to smell who have the Beasts Mark in your Fore-heads and have worshipped his Image that have been out of the Image of Christ and so the Lord is True and Righteous in his Judgments for he hath judged the great Whore which hath corrupted the Earth with her Forhication and will avenge the blood of his Servants at your hands she hath corrupted the Earth with her Idols and Idolatries and Inventions and Fables and so we are come through the Light of Christ Jesus above her by which we see the Heavenly Jerusalem the true Spouse the Lambs Wise Christ the Head the true Church and the new Earth wherein dwells Righteousness and your old Earth which the Devil compasseth wherein dwells Unrighteousness filled with Idolatry and Corruption and filthiness of flesh and spirit that which cumbers the Ground fruitless Trees that have born no Fruit to God The Gates of our City Heavenly Jerusalem are not shut neither by Night nor Day but any that come to the Light of Christ Jesus they may enter through the Light into our City which is far above your Mystery Babylon false City false Church VVhore Dragon false Prophet which hath been the Drinker of the Blood of the Righteous Persecutors and Murderers by the Devils power and authority which Christ who is our Head comes to destroy who was before the Devil was and will be when the Devil is gone who was First and Last the Beginning and End the Top and Corner-Stone who is our Rock which our House is built upon and our Foundation upon which we are built Glory to God in the Highest for evermore And now to something further VVhereas you tell us a long Tale of Anaxagoras a Philosopher you have just hit your own Condition for it suits your present Condition and it is a very fit Comparison for you who would make People believe you can make a godd and christ and make a head for your Body the POPE and so deceive people as he makes people believe That the Snow was Black and the Sun was a broad Plate of Nettal And so you are so perverse in Nature though you are confuted and convinced in your Consciences you will not be brought from your Error as before mentioned and out of your Seditious and Erronious wayes and so you have gone about to confound Truth but it is too hard for you for the Devil is out of it And as for your prophane Impiety you say we draw people to that is your own Condition and Jewish Fables and Heathens also you may find enough of them at home in your own Houses and Fields nay worse then the Iews It seems you cry out That we Disturb the Tranquility of the Christian Religion Nay it is your false Religion which you have made who are a Seditious Sect who are erred from the Pure Religion that is above that keeps from the Spots of the World which is to visit the Fatherless Widdows and Strangers and you instead of this cast into Prison and let your Poor go Begging up and down your Streets and Fatherless and Widdows as look into France and other Parts And if you were in this Religion which you as a Seditious Sect are erred from which would keep you from the Spots of the World which is pure from above and undefiled before God you would not tell people of a Purgatory And so the pure Religion we stand for against all your false Ones and every one among us may Minister as they have received the Grace as good Stewards and they may all Prophesie one by one And God hath poured out his Spirit upon his Sons and Daughters and Hand-maids and Young-men and Old men that every one hath somewhat to offer to God but this is a Strange Paradox to your false Church and seditious Sect that are erred from the Apostles who limit your Preaching to such as have got the Natural tongues and so Nebuchadnezar like whom you please you set up and whom you please you pull down and whom you please you open their Mouths and whom you please you stop them and they that would not Bow at the sound of your PIPE and ORGAN you cast into the Fire Nebuchadnezar like But this is a Strange Paradox you can make Ministers as you can make a Christ and a Godd one like the other out of Truth an● so in so doing deny the true Ministers and the true Christ and God who is to be worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth which Christ set up above 1600 years since and since you have forsaken Christ that is worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth you compel others do not you so who is the same to day yesterday and forever But from this Infallible Worship that Christ s●t up in the Spirit and in the Truth which the Devil is out of are you erred from the Spirit and Truth become a Seditious Sect an Erronious and Schismatical Sect and Persecuting the true Worshippers of the living God in Spirit and Truth which Truth and Spirit is within by which Spirit the God of Truth is known It seems John Stubbs and James Lancaster have sorely angred that Seditious Sect of Rome And whereas thou tellest us of Phanatick Assertions which we are clear of but thou mayst look at home for that and take in thy old fathers Puddles of Errors and Blasphemies which we deny And as for Phanatick is there a People more like them in the World then you in Rage and Fury and Madness against the Righteous for your Godd you have made and your Images and Idols and Fables And have you not tewed your selves about them as much as ever Tubal did about the godds they made For the Spirit of God is Gentle and Meek and so your Phanatick Humours have sufficienly spoken forth themselves to the Nations And whereas thou speakest That we have rightly tituled the Mother Church of Rome the Old-Woman ☞ Though thou hast got some Glory in it which seems to paint thee off a little but thou shouldst have taken all our words The Mother Church

over them and Authority over them and are called Gratious Lords it must not be so amongst you Here you slight Christ's words in making a Head and setting up your Gratious Lords your Popes to exercise Lordship over the People in dispite against Christs Command and so plainly manifest an Antichrist a Schismatick and a Sect degenerated from the true Brotherhood and true Head and he that will be the Greatest must be as the Least he that is Chiefest as he that Serveth c. and so he brings to an even rule And in many places it is plain that Peter never took the Headship to himself as your counterfeit Head hath done in opposition to the True Church and true Christ in dispite against him and this makes no Contradiction for the Chiefest must be as he that Serveth and the Greatest as the Least this cuts off your Lordship for the Scribes and Pharisees were reproved for that And thou bringest an Argument to prove that Peter was Head of the Apostles though the Apostles sent him Thou sayest Though the Father sent the Son yet to say that the Father hath greater Power then the Son thou sayest is Blasphemy Christ saith of Him That his Father is Greater then He John 14.28 and that was no Blasphemy in Christ And how was he Greater was it not in Power Yet we tell thee again that the Father and Son is one according to his Divinity he is God and God was in Christ and according to the Flesh he Suffered it was not God that Suffered that Died the Eternal God but Christ Suffered according to the Flesh as the Scripture declares for what God was that Christ prayed to and said Father if it be possible let this Cup pass from me but not my Will but they Will But these things are a Mystery to you and your dark spirits who it seems are ignorant of the Scriptures neither are the Holy Men of Gods words fit to come into your Mouths And whereas thou sayest Christ would have I relates to be humble People Look over the Popes Church and what Humility do you see Are not your Women full of Spots and the Pope with his Tripple-Crown and their Gorgious Attire Was this like Mary the Mother of Jesus who was brought to Bed in a Stable and laid Jesus in the Mainger Now we shall hardly have room in your Stable but in your Fires and Inquisitions for the Devil would Destroy True Christianity throughout the Earth who is become a false Christian in you but Christ will brake the ●e●d of hi● And if Peter was at Rome yet he was not Pope over all the Churches nor any of his Disciples nor none of Peters Follower all these things will not cover your Seditious Head nor this Catalogue of Bishops that were set up not for the first Six Hundred Years after Christ there was no Universal Pope all that time till as I said before Boniface the third was set up by Phocas the Murderer and after came in the Turk and then came in the Devil that hath filled your Cup to the brim with a Raging spirit and a Murdering spirit And thou sayest the truth of this Succession is gathered out of Matthew which proves nothing at all of this to you for your counterfeit Church hath been prevailed against by them which worship Mahomet Christ was with Peter to the end of his dayes and with all them that be in his Spirit the Spirit of Christ Jesus But what is this to you who have erred from Peter's Spirit and are got into a Murderous spirit who Persecute People to Death for your Rudiments Peter did not Persecute People for not owning Christ nor for not following Idols or images the Works of mens hands Another false Cover these Papists have which they daub People with concerning Peters being Head of the Church where it is said in Matth. 16. where Christ asked his Disciples Whom do men say that I am And their Answer was That he was John Baptist some say and others Elias and others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets But he said Whom do you say that I am Peter said Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God And Jesus answered and said unto him Blessed art thou Simon Barjona for Flesh and Blood hath not revealed this to thee I s●y unto thee th●u art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church and the Gates of H●ll shall not prevail against it Now if this Church had been built upon Peter as he was a man of Flesh and Blood as you say then when Peter was put to Death the Gates of Hell had prevai'ed then and here the Papists would give Christ the Lye but Christ saith That Flesh and Blood had not revealed this to thee and thou art Peter and upon this Rock will I build my Church That his Flesh and Blood had not revealed unto him thou art Peter And what signifies Peter If Peter signifies a Rock and if Christ built his Church upon the signification of Peter's Sur-name which signifies but an outward Rock which outward Rock may be brought as a Figure of Christ or a Parable or Comparison if it be built upon the Parable it is not built upon the thing it self Must not then all your Popes names be call'd Peter if they be the Rocks of your Church and so your Church must be built upon their Sur-names Now if it be built upon Peter as a man and your Popes as men as you say it is as Flesh and Blood c. then it is built upon the signification of the word Man which is not the signification of Peter's Sur-name but the signification of Man is Adam for Son of Man is Son of Adam as Ben Adam Ben Elohim and Adam signifies Red Earth does it not And so the Interpretation of the Popes Rock is That he built his Church upon Red Earth and Red Earth is not a Rock And what is that which Flesh and Blood hath not revealed Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God and upon this Rock is Christ's Church built that his Flesh and Blood had not revealed and the Gates of Hell shall not preva●l against this Rock Christ Jesus it destroyes the Devil and his works and his Power is over Hell and Death and they are Living Stones that be Members of his Body What is all this to the Popes counterfeit Head and Church which the Gates of Hell have prevail'd against their fleshly Foundation their fleshly Church and their carnal Head which is devilish And thus they have erred and degenerated from the Foundation of the Prophets and Apostles and Christ Jesus being the Top and Corner-Stone for Christ was their Rock the Apostles confessed and the Rock that followed the Jews was Christ And so it is clear that you are the Foolish Builders that have built your House on the Sand the Sea shore and many of your Houses are walled down for they that built up●n the Rock Christ Jesus which Flesh

26. Mark 14. Christ saith For I say unto you I will not any more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God Lule 22. For I say unto you I will not drink of the Fruit of the Vine until the Kingdom of God shall come Mark 14. Verily I say unto you I will drink no more of the of the Fruit of the Vine until that day that I drink it new in the Kingdom of God And Matt. 26. Christ saith But I say unto you I will not drink henceforth of this Fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink it new in the Fathers Kingdom What! Will Christ drink his own Blood with his Disciples new in his Fathers Kingdom and eat of the Bread his own Body in the Kingdom of God And did Christ eat his own body and drink his own Blood while he was on the Earth with his Disciples for he saith I will no more drink I will not any more eat until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God and I will no more drink until that day said he that I drink it new in my Fathers Kingdom And what doth NO MORE signifie Doth it not signifie that he had eaten and drunk it before And what then do you say or affirm that he had eaten his own Body and drunk his own Blood Come let us see what sense you will make of this with all your Keys And what did the Pascal-Lamb typifie forth your outward Bread and Wine And what did one outward thing Type forth another outward thing And what did Christ eat himself and drink himself and did the Apostles eat Christ before he suffered Is this your Doctrine Did not the Paschal Lamb Typifie our Paschal Lamb CHRIST our Passover And what did it type forth your Bread and Wine christ which you made which is outward and from the ground And there your Heads go downward and the one outward thing types forth another outward thing and this is your Doctrine is it not and so that one Natural Types forth another But we tell you That Christ our Pascal-Lamb endeth the Jews Pascal-Lamb and their Passover for he is the Substance of them which were Types of him who is the spiritual Man who endeth them all that were Types and Figures of him And the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 10. For we being many are one Bread and one Body c. and what was this the outward bread and were the Apostles and Saints Bodies outward bread Or were the Saints the Body of Christ and he their Head and so one Body and one Head Or hath Christ ever a Body but what you do make of Bread and Wine Answer And the Apostle saith 1 Cor. 10. That the Bread and the Cup was the Communion of the Body of Christ And he doth not say That the Bread is the Body of Christ nor doth he say That the Cup is Christ's Blood And wherein doth your Cup and Table differ from the Cup and Table of Devils Answer And come let us see what sence you will make of this you Corrupters and Destroyers of Scriptures the Masters of all Corruptions Theft and Plunder the Devils Espouse and a Help meet who with his Sparks setteth Princes together by the Ears this usurped Dragon would have brought the Earth to desolation who with his fiery Sparks which he hath thrown amongst the Nations hath set the Nations on fire and would have all bow to him and Persecutes them that bows to God And are not you offering up your christ in every Nation and Country where you have power which you make of your Bread and Wine And without blushing falsly call your selves Ministers of the True Christ but you are the Ministers of that christ you make of Bread and Wine So you make your Lord your Christ and your Host and then you do offer him in every Country or Nation and so you make many Thousands of godds and christs and many thousand godd and christ Host-makers you are many thousand Offerings ye offer up Yearly But the True Christ is offered up Once for All and not yearly And this was the true Ministers of Christs Doctrine who denyed the Yearly Sacrifices amongst the Jews which Offerings Christ the True Offering ends and so Christ put away sin by the offering of himself and so our High-Priest was not made by man but he was begotten of God who is made higher then the Heavens and whom God did prepare a Body And you make your body and blood of your Antichrist and offer him up Yearly to deceive the People and keep them in their sin and then tell them of a Purgatory when they are Dead GREAT DECEIVERS and so you do the will of Devil your godd But he that did the Will of the Living God to wit Jesus Christ did it through the Offering up of his Body Once for All and so there is an end of the Offerings and your false ones together with your christs the workmanship of your own hands which you have caused people to worship both Small and Great a Mark of the great Whore see Rev. and Heb. 10. And you Papists who say you make the body and blood of your christ and when that you have made it you say people must not have the blood but the body of your christ you have made If that this was the True Christ as it is the Falfe then you keep all your Deceived People in Death and from Life and Faith and Justification For except they eat Christs Flesh and drink his Blood they have no Life in them and this comes down from above and is not from below as your blood and flesh which you make of Bread and Wine and so they must drink the Blood as well as eat the Flesh of Christ if they have Life and they that do not drink his Blood have not Life in Christ for all the true Christians do drink his Blood and have Life and they are justified and cleansed with his Blood and their Faith is in the Blood of Christ and so all that have Life Commune in both kinds that is They eat the Flesh of Christ and drink his Blood which no man can make but it comes down from above But you that are dead and in Death who have gotten the Name of Christians and pretend to make a christ of flesh and blood of bread and wine which is but a Lye yet you will not give your people your blood which you have made of wine and so according to your own doctrine your people are dead if you do profess the Scripture for Christ doth not separate the flesh from the blood but the one must be received as the other and Christ doth not limit it from any one but did shed his Blood for all men but this is your Cheat of Pope Cardinals and Priests who love the Wine to drink it and thus you do deceive your people And also when you have made your lord and host and christ you do adore him and worship him and reverence him and cause the people to do the same and then when you have done you do EAT up your GOD HOST LORD and CHRIST which you have adored reverenced and worshipped Oh Deceit This is worse then the Heathen for never do you read in any Chronicle that the Heathen did so Eat any of the Godds that they had made with their hands as you have done and thus you dispise the true Christ and confine him in the Creatures of Bread and Wine all which of your works are for Judgment G.
