HAst thou the same Spirit and Power as the Prophets and Apostles had 2. Hast thou the same Revelation and Inspiration and Spirit of Prophecy and pouring forth of the Holy Ghost and doest thon own the pouring forth of the spirit upon Sons and Daughters and is not this the last time in which it should be poured out and the Sons and Daughters should Prophesie and Old men dream Dreams and Young men see Visions 3.

Doest thou preach that whilest a man is upon the Earth he may be freed from sin and the body of death and Imperfection and shall be perfect whilest he be upon Earth or dost thou keep people in the state of thy Father Adam and Mother Eve in the Fall or dost thou bring them to the state before they fell and so to Christ that shall never fall which of these states doest thou bring them to and keep thy flock in in Adam and Eve in the fall or Adam and Eve before they fell or in Christ that shall never fall thou must keep thy Flock in one of these three states and which of them is it hast thou brought any of thy Flock whom thou drivest to that Condition and state they need no man teach them that is to the anointing in them the Law in their hearts whereby they need not say to one another know the Lord and that is to the light of Christ that shines in their hearts to give them the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus and how many hast thou brought hither 7. What is the Mother of Harlots and what is the Beast she rides upon and what are the Peoples Nations and Multitudes and Tongues the Whore sits upon and what is Mysterie Babylon and what is the Woman that went into the Wilderness and what was her time she was to be there and what is the Beasts and Dragons worship and what is a will VVorship and what is it to worship Angels and what is that which leads Nature into its Course and so to the glory of the first body and what is the glory of the second body and what is that which leads Nature out of its Course and so sets the whole Course of Nature on Fire 8. VVhat is the ground of that which keeps in good manners and what is that which corrupts them and what is the Righteousness the world is reproved of and what is the Judgements and what is that which lead the Saints into all truth and hath every one the Spirit of God and whether bowing bending doffing hats scraping cringing saying you to one ' be the honour that comes from above or what is it and whence comes it and whether this before mentioned to not stand in that Nature part and principle which is on fire if it hath not these things and therefore whether or noe these things do proceed from that which leads Nature into its Course or out of its Course and what is it that defaces the glory of the first body 9.

Seeing thou looks upon thy self to differ from the world and to be above them let us see wherein and in what it is manifest 11.

What are the Graves and the Tombs and the Sepulchres and the fowls of the Aire and the nests they sit in which Christ spake of Answer 14. VVhether or no to pay Tyths or receive Tyths is not to deny Christ Jesus to be come in the flesh and to deny Christ to be offered up the offering once for all and was not their of the Tyths a heave Offring and was not that Offering to be ended by Christ offering up himself and had not the Preists a Commandment to take Tyths of the people of their brethren and do not you transgress the Law of God which takes them of those you do not call brethren and was not the widdows fatherlesse and strangers to have a part of the Tyths and was every Preist and Levit and them that was to have a part of them to have a particular Tyth Barn and was Tyths to be sould and was their any Impropriators and whether they do not hold up the Preists of the Jews and their Law and Commandments that take Tyths and give Tyths and so denys Christ the Preist in holding up the Jews Preists 15. And whether or no Melchisedeck did take Tyths of all other Nations that were under him or any other spoile but once of Abraham and whether he had a command for doing it or whether it was an Example 16. Whether the Jews did take Tyths of the Cananites or any of those Nations that lived amougst them or of any people where ever they came that they had the power over that was not of them 17. You that speaks so much of Christ Reigning whether or no Your Swords are bear into Plowshares and your Speares into Pruning books that you do not learn War any more that Nation shall not life up a Sword against Nation And whether or no this Ministration should be amongst Christians seeing that it was Christs Doctrine That they should love one onother and love Enemies and he bid Peter put up his sword and the Apostle said their Weapons were spiritual Secondly Doth not Peter say That the Heavens must receive Christ Iesus until the time of Restitution of all things which God hath spoken by the mouth of his Prophets since the World began Acts 3.
