death as many more are at this day who say they are alive and say they see but are blind and who required these things at your hands will be their answer when they think to enter by them or for them and it is not enough that I have read or heard others did them but I must know whether they are required at my hands and whether I am appointed by my Lord and Master to do them seeing he hath several appointments for his servants and none are exempted from learning of him what to do every day and knowing his voice and following his Counsel who is faithful to him that made him a high Priest and is worthy of more honour then Moses inasmuch as he who builded the House hath more honour then the House for every House is builded by some but he that builds all things is God and Moses verily was faithful in all his House as a servant for Testimony of those things which were to be spoken after but Christ as a Son over his own house whose house are we if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoycing of the Hope firm to the end wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith to day if ye will hear his voice harden not your hearts c. So by this thou maist understand what House it is that Christ is a faithful high Priest over and gives Laws and appointments to as Moses did to the outward people of the Jews and Christ doth to the inward Jews who is a Prophet like unto Moses and is now to be heard for by him God speaks and whoever hears not him shall be cut off from among the people and such a one who hears not his voice immediately is but a Jew outward though in the practice of all those outward washings and other outward things done by the Saints and recorded in the Scripture whose praise is of men and as yet Christ is not come to him the second time without sin to Salvation and therefore knows him not to be the end of all things and to put an end to sin and to finish transgression and to bring in everlasting righteousness in whom we are compleat who is the head of all principalities and powers Now follows an Answer to thy Queries 1. Q. WHether it is not a high degree of pride and arrogancy for any to go about to exalt their own wisdom above the wisdom of Christ Answ Yea and so do all those who are wise above what is written and pry into things which they have not seen and so become puffed up in their fleshly minds boasting of other mens lines hastning to be rich but will not wait upon the Lord to receive the true riches from him which are his gifts nor the true wisdom from him which is not taught by the precepts and customs of men but comes down from above and is first pure and peaceable and easie to be intreated 2. Q. Whether they do not so that account those Ordinances which he hath appointed too low and carnal for them to submit unto not minding that this foolishness of God is wiser then men 1 Cor. 1.15 Answ All those who despise or account the Ordinances which Christ hath appointed them to submit unto and walk in the practise of too low and carnal do set up and exalt their own wisdoms above the Wisdom of God and of this sort are they who neglect the means which God hath appointed unto eternal life which is to wait upon and stand still in the light and grace of God which appears to manifest Gods Mind and Will unto every man and woman that so they may know it do it in obedience to his requiring of it at their hands that so they may not fall under that righteous censure of the Lord saying to some Who hath required these things at your hands though performed in times past by the servants of the Lord and by him required at their hands and yet others may be condemned for doing the same things the Lord forbidding all likenesses to be made whether of things in Heaven or things in Earth c. And for thy quotation of 1 Cor. ● 15 I know not what thou intends by it except to manifest how thy mind is troubled for Baptizing in thy own name for in that place Paul thanks God that he had Baptized but a few least any should have thought so of him intimating that those who Baptize many or lay so much stress upon it expose themselves to be guilty of this charge but it may be an Errata of the Printer and so I shall pass it by 3. Q. Whether those who deny the continuance of water Baptism which Christ Commanded and his servants faithfully practised after his Resurrection in memorial thereof are willing the doctrine of the Resurrection of the body of Christ as the first fruits of the Resurrection of the bodies of the Saints should be perpetuated Answ Those who deny the continuance of water Baptism or any other thing which Christ hath Commanded them to observe and continue are transgressors and those are no less who continue it in their own wills and imitation onely the Lord not requiring it at their hands he being a Spirit and will be worshipped in Spirit and by the Spirit and not because Jerusalem was the place of worship therefore still to continue no more are men still to go down into outward water because some were commanded so to do except they know the Lord requires it at their hands by the moving and stirring of the Spirit of God in their own hearts and brests which thing they do and should have done had they never read or heard of any such thing done by any before them and he that thus goeth into the water or doth any other thing worships God aright and finds not out his worship himself but he himself is first sought out of God to worship God in the Spirit for God is a Spirit and such God only seeks to worship him though many others otherwise seeks to worship God but he will not accept an offering at their hand which causes many to be filled with wrath against those at whose hands the Lord doth accept an offering because they do it in the Spirit of Faith and such do not deny the one offering that perfects for ever them that are sanctified nor the memorial of the Resurrection of the body of Christ nor the Resurrection of the bodies of the Saints but do equally condemn the folly both of those who say there is no Resurrection of the dead and who yet are to seek what the Resurrection of the body is and who say how are the dead raised up and with what body do they come to them both I say as the Apostle said Thou fool that which thou sowest is not quickned except it die and he that hath not part in the first Resurrection for all his shews memorials and figures shall not escape the second death but he that knows he
