Think not that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfill for verily I say unto you till heaven and earth passe one jot or one tittle in no wise shall passe from the Law till all be fulfilled wherefore whosoever shall break one of these least Commandements and teach men so shall be called least in the Kingdome of heaven But whosoever shall do and teach them shall be also called great in the Kingdome of heaven Assert 7 VII That the Apostles of our blessed Saviour did establish this Law under the Gospel Proof Rom. 2. 11 12 c.

astonishment Note and his Rider with madnesse no great fear then of such Horses and Riders for it seems both Horse and Man will be confounded to move against the Holy just and perfect Laws of Jehovah the Lord Christ if they do woe and sadnesse will be unto them yea it had been better that a Milstone had been tyed about their neck and that they had been cast into the bottome of the sea than to offend one of those little ones that shall be made instrumentall for Babylons destruction Rev. 6. 12. c. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth Seal and loe there was a great earthquake and the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the Moon became as blood and the starres of heaven fell unto the earth even as a fig-tree casteth her untimely figges when she is shaken with a mighty wind and the heavens departed as a scroll that is rolled together and every mountain and Island were moved out of their places and the Kings of the earth and the greatmen and the rich men Weep and howl you rich men for the miseries that are now coming upon you for your riches are corrupted and your Garments moth-eaten your gold and silver is canckred and the rust of them shall be a witnesse against you and shall eat your flesh as it were with fine Jam. 5. 1 c. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last dayes c. and chief Captains i. e. Generals Lieutenant-Generals Commissary-Generals c. and Colonels of Armies and the mighty men whether in point of honour or estate hid themselves in the dennes and in the Rocks of the mountains and said unto the Mountains and Rocks fall on us and hide us from the wrath of the Lamb. Reason For the Greatest day of his wrath is come and who shall be able to stand Repent therefore that your sinnes may be blotted out at the day of refreshing of the Lords people from himself lest he tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver you and know it will be a fearfull thing to fall into the hands of the great God of heaven and earth the Lord in much mercy set these these things home upon your hearts and souls lest you be found fighters against the Lord of Hosts the God of Battel who is able to consume you with the blast of his nostrils Lastly as to the means whereby these great transactions shall be accomplished by the poore weak few and contemptible number of the Army of the Lamb the Learned Doctour Owen hath given us a brief and full answer i. e. Such as are the things shaken such must their shaking be i. e. Spiritual if Spiritual Natural if Naturall Civil if Civil hence it is that the great Champion of the truth is discovered unto us by these following characters i. e. And I saw saith John and behold a white Horse and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true note this fifth Monarchy-man and in Righteousnesse doth he judge and make war his eyes were as a Flame of Fire and on his Head were many Crowns and he had a Name written that no man knew but himself and he was clothed with a vesture dipt in blood and his Name is called the Word of God Note The Word of God must then be the Rule and Sinew of all the Actions of the fifth Monarchy men they must onely execute the Judgement written bringing all the actions of Babylon and her Adherents to the Touchstone of the Scriptures as for example in reference to the Political Government of the World they are to produce Jam. 4. 12. There is one Law-giver who is able to save and to destroy and from thence demand of the Civil Magistrate by what Rule or Authority he maketh his own Laws seeing he petends himself a Minister or Servant unto the alone Law-maker and consequently to put his Laws in-execution and thus they will be struck as dumb as doore nails for in this case they have nothing to plead but the authority and custome of their Ancestours and their Ancestors from Nimrod and Nimrod from the Apostate sons of God in the old world and they from the Corruption and vain imaginations of fall'n man and fall'n man from the suggestions and delusions of Satan and so primarily from the Devil Again in point of Ecclesiastical Government and Doctrine the fifth Monarchy-men are to produce Mat. 15. 8. In vain do ye worship me teaching for doctrine the Traditions or commandements of men and so keep them close to the word of God and not to suffer them to continue as they are i. e. partly Jure Divino and partly Jure Humano as the Presbyterians do acknowledge their Government to be and so down with it even to the ground for being found in Babylon they and their Government must be destroyed with Babylon as the learned Doctour hath asserted and clearly proved and so consequently to all other false worships or Governments whatsoever and hence it is that the Lambs followers are said to be clothed in white Linnen white and clean all their Acts will be done in truth and righteousnesse the white Linnen is the righteousnesse of the Saints Rev. 19. 8. 2. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword that with it he should smite the Nations and he shall rule them with a Rod of iron here we see the word maketh way for the material sword which the Rod of iron doth clearly import so that as the Doctour saith the Civil part of Antichrist must be conquered with the iron Rod and the Ecclesiastical part with the sword that proceedeth out of the Lambs mouth viz. the Holy Scriptures and this doth further appear from Psal 149. 6 7 8 9. as also from the following words of the afornamed chapter of Rev. 19. i. e. v. 17 18 19 20. which must unavoidably be applyed to the Conquest of the material sword in that the other i. e. the remnant are said to be slain with the sword of him that sate upon the Horse which sword proceedeth out of his mouth as in v. 13. as also in v. 16. And therefore O Babylon whether Pagan or Antichristian I do hereby in the name of the Lord Jesus bid defiance to thee in whomsoever thou refidest whether by Idolatry or false worship or whether by Tyranny or cruel Dominion being in opposition to the two grand Principles of nature i. e. of loving God above all and our neigbours as our selves and consequently to the bringing of the unmovable Laws and Ordinances of the unmovable Kingdome of the Lord Jesus upon earth and now in daily expectation by his Saints and therefore I advise thee as the Lord did Niniveh by the Prophet Nahum to consider Art thou better than Populus No-Ammon that was situate among the Rivers that had the waters round about it whose Rampart was the sea and her wall was from the sea Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength and it was infinite Put and Lubim were the helpers yet was she carried away she went ino captivity her young children were also dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets and they cast lots for their Honourable men and all her great men were bound in chains thou also shalt be drunken thou shalt be hid thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy and all thy strong holds shall be like fig-trees with the first ripe figs if they be shaken they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater Behold thy people in the midst of thee are women the gates of thy Land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies the fire shall devour thy Bars Draw the Waters for the Siege fortifie thy strong holds with Demy Canon c. Go Into clay and tread morter make strong the Brick-kil there shall the fire devour thee it shall eat thee up as Canker-worm make thy self many as the Canker-worm make thy self many as the Locust yet for all this before two years be expired the Laws and ordinances of Jehovah the Lord Christ shall be magnified and made Honourable in this Nation and Idolatry and Tyrany shall be extinguished even so Amen FINIS Postscript I Am desired to give the people of God to understand that the last news-book published by one Walker an Ironmonger and a notorious lying Pamphleter and yet an approved Preacher by the High Court of Tyers i● lieu of his large obedience to the Beast now up comprehended seventeen or eighteen large Lyes in fourteen or fifteen Lines in his passages relating to Mr. Rogers and the Members of his Society which were lately sent for to O. C. and that Mr. Rogers was so far from being put to silence by O. C. as Walker doth impudently assert as that he gave a full undenyable and pregnant Testimony to the very faces of those that are got into power against the Apostacies of the Army their Breach of Declarations Blasphemy lying persecution ●●lf-see●ing and other crying sinnes proving that the now prisoners of the Lord suffer for an essential truth and fundamental point of faith which Mr. Rogers challenged to dispute with any man upon even ground● and that this lively testimony was continued in the strength of the anointing to the very last keeping and gaining C●ound upon the Antagonists Thus much is thought meet at present to undeceive the people of God in City and Countrey untill the truth hereof do more largely appear J.
