evident truth therefore I shall prove their doctrine is pure in shew but little in substance For God doth not tye himselfe to the Art of schollership which the Clergy have bin taught in the University for he saith expresly by the divine power of his Word 1 Cor. 1. God chooseth the foolish things of this world to confound the wise and God hath chosen the weake things of the world to confound the things that are mighty Wherefore I say plainly God hath raised me up to shew his power in weaknes to confound the Bishops and all their Clergy both in their doctrine and their judgment as concerning true and sound Religion It is written in Reve. 20.8 concerning Gog and Magog I understand this Gog and Magog signifieth the divill and all his carnall ministers which are alwaies raising up warr and battle against Christ and his elect children it is said in the 9. verse They Went upon the breadth of the earth and camped the Saints about I understand and can prove the Pope and all his Clergy and the Bishops here in England and all their Clergy upon both sides they have blinded and deceived all those people that are as yet held under their power Again for the Turke the divill hath his carnall ministers amongst them whereby he hath deceived all those that belong to his Kingdome Againe for the Heathens the divill hath his heathen Philosophers wherby he hath deceived all those that belong to his dommion Thus the divill and his carnall ministers have spread themselves over the whole world but it is said fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them I understand and shall prove the fire that commeth downe from God out of heaven signifieth the divine power of the word of God in the Gospel of Christ which shall shine so cleare and powerfully that it will burne and consume all false doctrine which belongeth to the divill For Iohn Baptist was a burning and a flaming light Againe it is said of our glorious God Heb. 1 Who maketh his ministers a flaming fire For as a temporall fire will burne temporall buildings down to the ground even so the Word of God in the Gospell will bee a spirituall fire to burne down all false doctrine and false worship by degrees from the face of the whole world and Christ and his glorious Church shall flourish Wherefore I say with S. Paul 1 Cor. 3. 12. If any man shall build on this foundation I mean upon the bodily Temple of Christ which is the glorious Church if he shall build gould silver precious stones every mans worke shall be made manifest for the day declare it that is the light of Gods word shall prove his doctrine whether it be sound or false if any mans worke abide he shall receive a reward that is a reward of eternall glory but if any mans worke shall be burnt he shall suffer losse but he himselfe shall be saved so as by fire I understand if any man have gathered to himselfe any doctrine which is contrary to the word and will of God he must count that labour to bee as lost but when hee shall bee reconciled to Christ and to the obedience of his Word hee shall bee saved by the divine power thereof which signifieth the Holy Ghost and fire Now I say plainely if there bee any Divine or any other man that can finde any one place of Scripture in the new Testament for to prove the ministration of the old Testament is to be joyned to the glorious Church of Christ which is his body if I cannot finde 3 other plaine truths to burne up his judgement I will be content to be burned under the judgment of the high Court of Parliament whom God I hope hath gathered together for the tryall of the spirits wherefore we receive a Kingdome that cannot be moved that is such a Iesus and such a Gospell as shall abide and remaine for ever let us have grace to serve God with reverence and fear For our God is a consuming fire Heb. 12. Now I will shew you how God is a consuming fire two wayes First he is the fire of love to burn and consume all false doctrine and false worship out of the hearts and minds of the people as for to cause them to hate and forsake it For Christ so loved his Church and gave himselfe for it that he might present it to himselfe a glorious Church not having spot or wrinckle Ephes 5. This place of Scripture doth signifie that Christ would have his people to be so chast unto himselfe and to his Gospell that it should be free from all false doctrine and false worship which belongeth to the divell For God is love and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him herein is our love made perfect that wee may have bouldnes in the day of judgment because as he is so are we in this world and so I praise God am I in this world for the spirit of God drawes but one way that is to Christ and to the obedience of his glorious Gospel But on the other side God will be found to be the fire of Wrath to destroy all those carnall ministers or any other false powers whatsoever it be with everlasting plagues and torments of hell fire that shall wilfully fight against Christ and against the divine power of his word if they do not repent and yeeld obedience unto it as I prove plainly in 2. Thes 1. 7. When the Lord Iesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty Angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and obey not the glorious Gospell of the Lord Iesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power Thus I have shewed you in breife how our God is a consuming fire two waies For God hath commanded me to sing a joyfull and a mournfull song To shew and prove by the divine power of his word his mercies and his judgments they are both exceeding strong His mercies towards all those that shall love and him obey But his fiery wrath judgments towards those that shall refuse and still say nay It is written Eph. 5. 13. All things that are reproved are made manifest by the light Now by that glorious light God hath given me I will shew you in breife what abominable hipocrites the Bishops and all their Clergy are in the sight of our glorious God for they are alwaies teaching and preaching that the people may love God and obey his commandements but I shall prove that they are the men that are enemies against God and will not obey his Commandements for the first point I shall prove that all those divines that do deny the divine power of the word of God they are enemies against God now the Bishops and their Clergy say that there is no perfection for the people so long as they are here
