without may easily be deceived In p. 25. he saith God hath made him the Judge of the Scriptures Observ Let him that readeth wait to feel the Spirit which is of God and the Light wherein God dwells and that will open Scriptures and the mysteries of the Kingdom to him he abiding in unity therewith through the pure subjection thereto and manifest to him who is the Judge in spiritual matters in Gods Israel Again p. 25. he saith further We the Witnesses of the Spirit do know more then Moses the Prophets and Apostles did things of more higher concernment Observ The Apostles were not the least in the Kingdom but in the glory of the day 1 Pet. 2. 5. in the Eternal Life in him that was true 1 John 5. 20. and they had the whole Counsel of God even a Ministry sufficient to perfect the Work of God in the Saints Ephes 4. 12. that so they might present men perfect in Christ Jesus Col. 1. 28. And happy is he that receiveth their testimony and cometh into and walketh in that Light which their message was concerning 1 John 1. 2. verse 5 7. Yet again p. 25. he saith The Quakers have only the dead letter of other mens words whose light was but dark in comparison of the light that comes by this commission of the Spirit Observ Yes they have much more then the dead letter of other mens words for they witness the living Spirit and are taught thereby and subject thereto Blessed be the Lord who is become the Shepherd and Teacher of his people himself according to his Promise And as for the Apostles light being dark in comparison c. Observ We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord are changed into the same image from glory to glory even of the Lord the Spirit 2 Cor. 3. 18. Again God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ chap. 4. 6. In that day the woman was clothed with the Sun for as many as are truly baptised into Christ have put on Christ Gal. 3. 27. had the Moon under her feet and was crowned with a Crown of twelve Stars and not only travelling to bring forth but brought forth the Man-child which was to rule all Nations They who are indeed in the Spirit know that the Light which is now broke forth is but the Light of the same Day which shined then very gloriously in them who were the glory of Christ 2 Cor. 8. 23. They had the Spirit of God plentifully poured upon them which opened to them the mysteries of the Kingdom and the deep things of God 1 Cor. 2. 9 10. And how highly soever he think or speak of himself yet this is known concerning him that he hath a very great journey to travel before he can come to that measure of Light that they were in or to receive that proportion of the true Spirit that they received For he is yet quite out of it In p. 29. he affirmeth That it was the very God-head Life that suffered death Observ If the God-head Life suffered death what power was left to raise it up again I am the Resurrection and the Life said Christ but he spake concerning that which raised Lazarus which was of an immortal nature and could not die not concerning the body but the Life and Power of the Father which dwelt in and was revealed through the body which died not with the body but remained alive to raise the body What kind of doctrine is this that the very God-head Life suffered death and so to make the Creator mortal like the Creature In p. 39. he saith God the King of Heaven is not in this World at all Observ Whether shall I go from thy Spirit or whether shall I flee from thy Presence said David who had the Spirit of God If I ascend up into Heaven thou art there if I make my bed in Hell thou art there c. Psal 139. 7 8. And do not I fill Heaven and Earth saith the Lord Jer. 23. 24. But L. M. hath affirmed contrary to these Testimonies that God is not in this World at all In p. 48. he saith I am the only and alone Judge what shall become of men and women after death neither shall those that are damned by me see any other God or Judge but me or that Sentence which I have passed upon them Observ Is he God is he Christ is he the only one is there not another God another Judge Yes we know there is another who judgeth otherwise then he hath judged who judgeth that to death which he judgeth to life and that to Life which he judgeth to death And in the Resurrection of the just and the unjust shall not both the just and unjust see him who is the Judge Read Matth. 25. 31 c. Again p. 48. he saith No man upon the Earth can or ought to judge of the Doctrine of a Prophet that hath a Commission from God Observ Cannot he judge who hath the Anointing Doth not he that is a Child of God receive his Spirit and is not the Spirit of God able to judge in them that receive it Judge not according to the appearance saith Christ but judge righteous judgment Joh. 7. 24. Did Christ absolutely forbid men from judging concerning him or his doctrine and miracles or did he not rather direct them how they might judge aright I speak as to wise men judge ye what I say 1 Cor. 10. 15. The Apostle had a Commission from God yet he did not barrmen from judging of his words but bid them judge and the same Apostle saith Let the Prophets speak two or three and let the others judge 1 Cor. 14. 29. Is the Spirit of God given to and received of the Believer and shall he not therewith judge concerning Spirits and Doctrines and Commissions which pretend to be of him and Apostles and Angels whether they be Angels of Light indeed or only such as would so appear Believe not every Spirit but try the Spirits whether they are of God 1 John 4. 1. And they which are of God love to come to the Light which tries and makes manifest but they that are not of God refuse to be tried by it Thou hast tried them that say they are Apostle and are not and hast found them Lyars Rev. 2. 2. God giveth that Light that Spirit that Anointing to his which hath in it ability to try and they ought to try therewith Doctrines Spirits Prophets Apostles and certainly find thereby that they are of him before they receive them or else they may easily be deceived Despise not prophesyings saith the Apostle 1 Thes 5. 20. but yet withal though a man may not despise them yet neither may he receive them without due trial therefore the Apostle in the next words adds Prove

Building Isa 4. 5. In p. 66. he saith The Apostles should be equal in the Kingdom of Glory as they were equal here in the Kingdom of Grace And again p. 67. As there should be no preheminence with the Apostles here in the Kingdom of Grace neither should there be any preheminence in the Kingdom of Glory Yet p. 102. he saith Peter was the head of the Apostles Observ Hath the Head no preheminence in the Body Are the rest of the Members equal with the Head is not this an absolute contradiction In p 78. he saith The Commission of the Apostles was not the Commission of the Spirit Observ Paul saith they were made able Ministers of the new Testament not of the Letter but of the Spirit 2 Cor. 3. 6. What is to be desired more then the new Covenant wherein Life Spirit and Power is received Now the Apostles were made by God able Ministers thereof and the glory of this Covenant and Ministration remaineth verse 11. In p. 93. he saith Death being the First-born of the Law it went forth as a Conqueror of all Life both in God and man Observ The Law is holy just and good and bringeth forth only that which is holy Sin is not of the Law but against the Law and the wages of sin is death Yet neither sin nor death could ever conquer the Life of God but the unconquerable Life and Power have ever reigned over them Gods Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and his Dominion endureth throughout all Ages which Sin nor Death nor Hell could ever conquer That life which Christ did give up none took from him as a Conqueror but he laid it down freely at the requiring of the Father knowing his glorious Power was able to restore and raise it up again In p. 105. he saith The body of man is that Tophet that was ordained of old and the spirit of Reason is that King which must abide in this Tophet Observ The body of man was Gods Temple before it was defiled with sin and is Gods Temple again when it is purified and purged from sin Now him that defileth this Temple of God him will God destroy And Christ said Fear him who after he hath killed hath power to cast into Hell Luk. 12. 5. What is he able to cast into Hell why both body and soul Mat. 10. 28. Then the body of man is not the Tophet or Hell but Tophet is that whereinto the souls and bodies of the wicked are to be cast In p. 116. he saith Eternity did become Time and Time shall become Eternity again Observ Eternity did never become time but is unchangable in its Nature Spirit Life and Beeing for evermore but it brought forth natural and changable things in time which time shall have an end Observations on some Passages in a Book of Lodowick Muggleton 's stiled by him The Neck of the Quakers Broken IN p. 14. he affirmeth That Adam had no part in the begetting of Cain Observ The Scripture saith Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and bare Cain and said I have gotten a man from the Lord Gen. 4. 1. Here the holy Spirit of God attributeth the begetting of Cain to Adam's knowing his wife Eve but L. M. saith otherwise In p. 15. he saith Whoever is partaker of the seed of Adam may be said to have the Spirit of Christ in them and their spirits to be in him that is Christ dwells in their hearts by Faith Observ The Scriptures distinguish between the first and second Adam None have the Spirit of Christ from or in the first Adam but only from and in the second And the old Adam's seed spirit and nature is to be put off by him that puts on the new and he must be born again of the immortal Seed of Life who receives the Spirit of Life In p. 17. He calls Reason the Devil and p. 29. saith This Devil so much spoken of in Scripture is no other but the spirit of Reason Observ Indeed corrupted reason is of the Devil but pure Reason is of God Man by his fall had his reason corrupted and so became bruitish and unreasonable but by Faith in the redeeming Power he is brought out of the Fall raised from Death to Life and in the new Life hath the true holy righteous Reason restored to him again 2 Thes 3. 2. which Reason is neither the Devil nor of the Devil In p. 22. he saith If God be a person in the form of a man as I am sure he is for I do acknowledge no other God but the man Christ Jesus who is a distinct body of flesh and bone of his own how then can he fill Heaven and Earth with his presence and get in-the Quakers bodies c. Observ Solomon said in prayer to God 2 Chron. 6. 18. which prayer God testified his acceptance of as being from his own Spirit chap. 7. 1 Behold Heaven and the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain thee how much less this House which I have built Again Thus saith the high and lofty one that inhabiteth Eternity what is Eternity whose Name is holy I dwell in the high and holy with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit c. Isa 57. 15. Yet again it is said Ye are the Temple of the Living God as God hath said I will dwell in them and walk in them 2 Cor. 6. 16. Is it such a strange thing that God should be in Heaven and in Earth also Is not the Earth his Footstool and are not the feet present in the place on which they tread Was not Christ in Heaven while he was hear on Earth according to his own words No man saith he hath ascendded up to Heaven but he that came down from Heaven the Son of Man which is in Heaven John 3. 13. And cannot God be in Heaven and in Earth too and also by his Spirit in the hearts of his people In p. 23. he saith To say that Christ according to the Flesh was of Abraham is Blasphemy Observ The Apostle said concerning the Jews whom he calls his Brethren and Kinsmen according to the Flesh Rom. 9. 3. of whom as concerning the Flesh Christ came who is over all God blessed for ever Amen verse 5. Did Christ come of the Jews according to the Flesh and did he not come of Abraham according to the Flesh Now lest any should apprehend there may be some difference between according in verse 3 and concerning in verse 5 I shall add this they are both the same in the Greek It is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in both In p. 24 25. he saith None can interpret Scriptures truely but himself Observ All that are children to them God giveth of his Spirit Gal. 4. 6. and they that have the Spirit have that which interprets Scriptures truly which they keeping to cannot be deceived about the interpretation of them But they that keep not to the Anointing within but receive interpretations from men
