to the outward Elements And though Christ did eat the Passover with his Disciples before he left them yet he said That be would not henceforth drink of this Fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom Mat. 26.29 Which Kingdom being Spiritual it stands in that which is above all Carnal Things For the Saints Communion and Fellowship is in the Light 1 John 1.7 But if we walk in the Light as he is in the Light we have Fellowship one with another and their Fellowship was not only One with another but With the Father and with his Son Christ Jesus 1 John 1.3 And it is the same now they who walk in the Light finds it so But I know it is not so with the World by their receiving Bread and Wine for when I did receive that with them there was a thirsting that with them there was a thirsting to have received something of Christ with the Bread and Wine but could get nothing but came away empty And after they have received Bread and Wine together they are not thereby United into One but too often live in Strife and Envy as formerly without any change at all Neither have the Teachers of the World my Command from Christ in Scripture for taking a Text or place of Scripture and to add thereto their own Inventions But if any shall say That Jesus went into the Synagogue and there was delivered unto him the Book of the Prophet Isaih and when he had opened the the Book be found the place where it was written The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because be hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the Poor c. Luke 4.16 17 18 19. From this some may conclude in themselves and say That he took a Text or place of Scripture to speak from it To which I answer It was not the words spoken of another or another's Condition but the Prophecy concerning him which was then fulsilled the Spinit of the Lond then being upon him whereby he did preach the Gospel to the Poor c. As in the 21 st verse He began to fay unto them This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears But which of the Teachers of the World can say truly That they are by the Spirit of the Lord being upon them Anointed to preach the Gospel to the Poor c. as it was there written in that Prophecy of him which he said was then fulfilled But other ways by Man they are appointed and the Love of Lucre with the Praise of Men are the chief Motives to put them forward to speak And so if they will follow Christ let them follow him and in plainness and honesty in this his Practice take the Scriptures that speak of them their Practive and Condition as he did of his which is fulfilled in them and by them and then they may take the Book of the Prophet Isaiah and open it in their Synagogues and read to the People that place Isaiah 56.11 where he speaking before of the Watch-men saith They are Shepherds that cannot understand they all look to their own way every one for his gain from his quater taking this Scripture and reading it to the People applying it to themselves that they are such as look to their own way every one for his gain from his quarter that Scripture the People may witness with them to be true in them and fulfilled by them And so they may turn into the Prophecy of Jeremiah where they may read themselves unto the People they being such as bear Rule by their Means Jer. 5.31 And which steal the Word from their Neighbour which the Lord us against For although they will be taking the Scriptures into their Mounths can they prove that the Lord dit ever speak by them For their Trading with the Scriptures is by Stealing from others and as then they did run when the Lord did not send them as in the same Chapter verse 22. therefore they profited not the People let them read that unto the People Wherein the People may see the cause why they have not profited by them They may likewise read unto the People what the Lord by the Prophet Ezekiel said that the false Prophets did Chap. 34.3 They seek for the Fleece and feed not the Flock this they may read and this the People who are not blinded may witness to be their greatest Care for to get the Fleece more than to seed the Flock They may turn unto the third Chapter of Micah and read in the 11th verse of Priests that taught for Hire and such as put into the false Prophets Mouths then they cry'd peace to them as in verse 5. but he that put not into their Mouths they prepared war against him These Scriptures are fulfilled in them and by them they teach for hire and such as will give them their desire they speak Peace to such and will call them good Christians but such as cannot satisfie their desires seeing them to be no Ministers of Christ and so cannot maintain them by acting against their Consciences against such they do prepare War either by Suing them at the Law or Smiting with the Tongue as Jer. 18.18 and with some of these they make War against such as cannot give them their Wages because they are not of Christ's setting down agreeable unto Mat. 10. and Luke 10. Read these places and there you may see the Wages that Christ appoints his Disciples Further if they will imitate in Reading a Scripture belonging unto them then they may read Mat. 23.67 Who love the uppermost Rooms at Feasts chief Seats in the Synagogues Greetings in the Markets and to be called of Men Rabbi Rabbi And as the Scribes and Pharisees did bid others observe and do such things as they did not themselves and laid heavy Burdens upon others but they themselves would not touch them as Mat. 23.3 4. So it is now with the Priests of England the People may witness with me that these Scriptures are true in them and fulfilled by them Woe from Christ was and is their Portion And in the 11th verse of the Epistle of Jude they may read where their Portion is set down before their Practice Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward which is manifest at this day by their Persecution and Suing Men at Law for their Wages And the last place that I shall now desire them to read is 2 Pet. 2.1 where the Apostle saith But as there were false Prophets also among the People even as there shall be false Teachers amongst you And in the 3 d verse thus And through Covetousness shall they with fained words make Merchandise of you c. This is their Practice and is manifest to most Men that their exchanging of Place and People is Merchant-like to get Gain for the better some way if not always for
