where will you go in when the Supream Richter or Judge CHRIST whom you disgrace in his Members will appear in his wrath and will Richten den Richtenden Richter Judge the Judging Judge and will himself be the jus right or Law and the Judgement 10. That Richter or Judge will not respect a Primate or his followers which he draws after him nor any King Prince or Lord of the world according to the Authority they have had nor their Laws Statutes or Institutions but will judge the LIFE and try it in HIS Fire 11. Where will then your reproachings and disgracings abide which you have exercised against Christ in his Members It is written he that blasphemeth the Holy Spirit hath no forgivenesse Eternally Math. 3. 29. What will you then Answer to him you who have knowingly blasphemed his Gists and so miserably persecuted the Children of Christ when Christ will say What you have done to these the least of my brethren you have done unto me what Answer will you then Give 12. You despise me in that I am a Layick and not come from the high Schools or Vniversities with my skill or knowledge and cry out Fy upon my Gifts which yet I have received from God as a Noble Bounty which also is more dear to me than the whole world and reproachest my Trade or Handicraft with your crying fye upon it and callest it together with my Gift a stink how can it go well with you when such reproaching blasphemies and your crying fy upon it whereby you cry fy upon the Gift of the Holy Spirit shall awaken in you in Body and Soul and become kindled with Gods Anger so that the world will become too narrow for you what would you then afterwards give that you had never done such a thing 13. The Spirit which now rejoyceth you that you may have your will upon me with reproaches and disgraces If that should now become a Hellish fire and enter into your Conscience where will you then remain 14. You force Tears from me and earnest Prayers against the reproaching or blaspheming of God in that you blame me altogether with untruth have a care that my Tears become not Red hot Coals upon your head 15. I have prayed much to God for you that God would enlighten you and give you to acknowledge the Truth but you become continually the worse I will be blamelesse concerning you if Gods Anger touch you 16. Why do you despise me because I am a Layick and yet have high Divine aud Naturall knowledge Do you suppose the Holy Spirit is bound to your Schools or Universities Did not our dearest Christ say My Father will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him for it Luke 11. 13. Also ask and you shall receive seek and you shall find knock and it will be opened unto you Matth 7. 7. 17. I have received my Gift through earnest PRAYING and knocking and relish it so that I would not give it for all the worlds Honours and Goods also can never deny or forsake it wherefore do you ascribe the Gift of God to the Devill 18. Do but look back into the world what kind of simple People hath he used for his work what was Abel Seth Enoch and Noah what were the Patriarchs Shepheards none of them was a Doctor what was Moses A Shepheard what was David A Shepheard what were the Prophets especially Elisha and Habbakkuk honest simple people who were Tillers of the Ground what was Mary the Mother of our Lord CHRIST A poor honest destitute young Maid what was the Foster-Father of Christ during his child-hood A Carpenter what were Christs Apostles all of them poor simple Handicrafts-men or Trades-men as Fisher-men and the like why did not Christ reject them also seeing they had not studyed did HE cry fy upon them because they were Handicrafts People as you do 19. What was Christian Nobility from the Beginning even Humility and the Feare of God where now lyeth your great boasting in the Scripture as also in Art shew me it Saint Paul was a Scribe learned in the Scriptures but when he became a Christian then he must first become a Fool to his Art and knowledg that the divine wisdom might find a place in him 20. Why do you brag so much of your Art if you call your self a Christian do you not know that we are ALL ONE in Christ which is Christ us ALL If Christ teacheth us and loveth us why then do you curse us and call Christ in US a stink 21. Moreover hath not that an ill aspect or symptome as if the ill spirit were in you that can not endure Christ nor willingly would see that Men do repent and pray being you call Repentence and Prayer a stink which you can not deny being you say that every Line is a blasphemy against God and you forbid the people to read it under pain of Eternall punishment 22. Do but open your Heart and read that little book aright you will find some what else therein you have not read it at all yet that I perceive by the Title of your Libell for you set down the Title wrong and have not seen the little book of true Refignation of the Imitation or following of Christ therein you set the Morning Rednesse or Aurora for the First Book of which you know little or nothing and the way to Christ for the Seccond Book and yet it is no single Book but is only the Generall Title And the Book of Repentance he sets for the Third whereas it is the First in the printed Book and the last he hath never seen 23. O Primate Satan hath blinded you and led you into Anger that for anger you could not so much as read it but he hath instantly made haste with you to reproachings and scandalizing for it is a stink in his Eyes thus you have imitated and followed him do but drive away Evill affections from you and read it aright and you will see very much otherwise therein 24. Also you know that God hath converted ' some thereby so that they are entered into true Repentance and have attained that very thing which Christ hath promised us that is to say the Gift of the Holy Spirit Luke 11. 13. there are eminent Examples neer by 25. These Mens Gifts of the Holy Spirit you call them all A stink whereby Men may espye and discerne that this little Book is altogether against the Devill and that in you no good Spirit must dwell while you blaspheme the Gift of God for you say this Stink viz Repentance and Prayer which is the whole Contents of this Book be farre from you it may well so come to passe that Gods Gifts should remove and be farre from you Libell 26. You say also that Great Plagues hang over those places where such Blasphemy against God unpunished may be devised divulged and beleeved where Men may also freely without interruption think write beleeve
