that is come and coming in the Ten Thousands of his Saints to judge the World and all the fallen ●ngels X. Such who are gathered by the Spirit of the Lord out of all Gatherings in the Fall that stand in the Will and Wisdom of Man and these follow Christ the Shepherd and Bishop of their Souls and abide in his Doctrine and Spiritual Worship and cannot hearken to a Stranger who is made a Minister or a Bishop in the Will of Man and not made by the Holy Ghost an Overseer of the Soul but are climbed up another Way and not come in through Christ the Door by the Gift of his Spirit but in the Wisdom of Man and of the Birth of the Flesh that persecutes the Sheep for the Fleece therefore the Sheep cannot hear them for he that gives the Soul Eternal Life the Soul ought to hear and be subject to and to all that come in his Name that is his Power who feeds the Sheep Lambs with the Bread of Life that is Meat indeed and Drink indeed where the Word of Life ministers through the Vessel the Sheep that are gathered by the Spirit do know the Voice of the Spirit which is the Voice of Christ that the Stranger knows not but the Sheep and their Souls are greatly refreshed by that Ministry of Life and so is the Body of Christ edified but where the Gift of Life is not received nothing but Death can preach and that burdens and hurts and defiles the Soul if it be touched or fed upon therefore in a Figure he that touched the Dead was to be unclean by the Jews Law so by the Law of the Spirit of Life dead Works that are Works of Darkness the Living are to have no Fellowship with but rather reprove them So this is the Infallible Truth that the Children of Truth and Sheep of Christ will hear and obey none but the Voice of the Spirit of Christ the Truth the Light and the Life which every Member of his Body hath a Measure of in himself which is the Anointing that leads guides and teacheth all his to profit in the Movings and Requirings of which all may prophesie one by one that all may be edified and the whole Body built up together in Love a Habitation for the Lord to dwell in to walk in work in and speak in and these have received Eternal Life dwelling in it shall never perish XI Such who have put off the Old Man with his vain Conversation and have in their Measure Crucified the Flesh with its Affections and Lusts who walk not after the Flesh but after the Spirit which is become their Leader as ever it was their Fathers Children in which they find Power to do the Will of God in Earth as in Heaven Being created again after the New Man in Righteousness and True Holiness and being become New Creatures are in Covenant with God Old Things are past and passing away and becoming and become New a clean Heart and a right Spirit possesseth the Body which loves the Lord wholy and his Neighbour and Brother as himself true Judgment and Justice sits in his Gate and Goodness Mercy and Love within his House his Law is come forth of Sion and the Word of his God from Jerusalem in the Doctrine of which he abides and Statutes and Ordinances keeps who swears not at all nor lyes for that is against the Truth and under Condemnation who is come to the End of Wars and Fightings and doth to all as he would be done unto that ends Swearing Lying Fighting and Lusting after Evil Things loves Enemies serves Friends respects not Persons but gives to all their Due To Caesar the Things that are his and to God the things that are his labours in Love for the Good of all and doth Good to all denyes to hold up the Types and Shadows under the changeable Priesthood which are fulfilled in the unchangeable that pointed at Christ and his good Things who ends the Old Things the Old Priesthood and the Law that upheld it and Christ the Everlasting Priest being come the Substance of them all cannot deny him before Men by holding up the Old Things that he hath abolished by his Coming which if now upheld were to deny Christ come in the Flesh the High-Priest of our Profession Heb. 3.1 Now if we profess him to be our High Priest and hold up another Priesthood by paying of Tythes and other Things abrogated and denyed by the Holy Brethren of the Heavenly Calling in the Apostles Dayes I say then though we do profess him in Words to be come yet we should deny him in Works and so do all that hold up the Ceremonies now the Substance is come who is a merciful and faithful High Priest in Things appertaining to God to make Reconciliation for the Sins of the People Heb. 2.17 And those that hold up or establish another Righteousness fall short of the Righteousness of Christ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest that is passed into the Heavens Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our Profession Heb. 4.14 Which Profession stands in Christ the better Hope by the which we draw nigh to God whose Kingdom is not of this VVorld therefore saith the King Put up the Sword and know that Nature that could kill with the Sword Outward to be slain with the Sword Inward for saith Christ My Kingdom is not of this World if my Kingdom were of this World then would my Servants fight John 18.36 Then all you that fight consider whose Servants you are seeing Christ's Servants cannot so all these Things forbidden are not to be used by the Children of God's Kingdom and Inheritors of the New Covenant in which the New Man enjoyes all the Promises of God that are Yea and Amen to him forever XII As to the Ministry they are such that the Lord of the Harvest fitteth by his Spirit and sends into the Harvest being called and chosen to be faithful Labourers in God's Harvest and are content with his Wages and refuse Anti christ's having freely received do freely give according to their Master's Command who warch for the Souls Good and not for the Fleece having Food and Raiment are contented and are to be ready to do the Masters Will in all Things and go whither the Spirit requires them and to preach the Word of Truth he gives them not consulting with Flesh and Blood but with Christ revealed in them who teacheth them to profit the People and to divide the Word aright with Boldness not fearing Man nor the Power of Darkness but to shew the People their Sin that they that are yet in it may come to repent and amend their Lives by turning from Darkness to the Light and from the Power of Satan unto God by receiving the Troth in which is found Power to do it and then they do the Things they ought ought to do and leave undone the Things they ought not to do
again the false Church that persecutes is gone from the sound Doctrine of the Apostles and cannot endure it Now the Spirit of Truth that ministred in the Apostles hath opened the Mouthes of many to minister as they have freely received the Gift and sound Doctrine of Truth and the Teachers that were heaped up by them that were gone from the Word after their own Lusts cannot endure the Doctrine of the Light that manifests their Deeds of Darkness and that which the Apostles turned the People to the Teachers heaped up in Mens Wills turn the People from and so turn Peoples Ears from the Truth to give Ear unto Fables the Imaginations of the Heart that are gone after the Lusts and this Paul did prophesie should come to pass as hath been and is fulfilled saying For the Time will come when they will not endure sound Doctrine but after their own Lusts shall they heap to themselves Teachers having Itching Ears and they shall turn away their Ears from the Truth and shall be turned to Fables 2 Tim. 4.3 4. Here was an Apostacy prophesied of that in the Light is seen to be fulfilled in its Time And now by the Brightness of the Rising of the Son of Righteousness that is the Day-spring from on high that hath visited us and hath given Light to us that sate in Darkness and in the Shadow of Death and hath guided our Feet into the Way of Peace and the Light sown for the Righteous Thou ands witness Glory be to God on high for evermore And the Unrighteous Works of Darkness are denyed and reproved which the Children of Light can have no Fellowship with but are come out from them in Obedience to the Heavenly Vision the Voice from Heaven that is the Trumpet that hath awakened Thousands which saith Come out of her my People come out of her and partake not of her Sin lest ye partake of her Plagues And now the Lord hath according to his Promise in the latter Dayes brought us a Way we did not know out of her and led us in Pathes we had not walked in and this we can say that walk in the Light if it were the last Words that we should speak upon the Earth that the Way we are brought to walk in and in which the Faithful do walk is the Way that the God of Heaven hath brought us into let all the Earth speak what they will against it God that lives forever will make it prosper to the Ends of the Earth and the saved in this Nation shall and do walk in it and so shall the saved in all Nations that is in Christ the Light of the New Jerusalem as it is written And the Lord God and the Lamb is the Light thereof And all the rotten-Principle'd Men in all Nations shall not be able to stand before nor abide the sound Doctrine of the Word of Life that is Juick and powerful and a Discerner of the Thoughts and Intentions of the Heart except they come to the Hour of his Judgment and be judged as Men in the Flesh that they may be quickned by the second Adam and live to God in the Spirit And now being led out from among them that are in the Filthiness of the Flesh by the Spirit of the Lord and touching no unclean Thing the Lord hath received us and is a blessed Father unto his Sons and Daughters that he hath begotten unto himself by an Immortal Seed the Word of Life that liveth and abideth sorever And now those pretended Fathers in God who are called Lords Spiritual which Title the Bishops made by the Holy Ghost Overseers of the Flock of God never received not owned nor ever will and had you been our Fathers indeed who had begotten us in God we should have been your most dear and dutiful Children in all the Commands of Christ through you but you know by whom you were made but not by whom we are begotten for if you did we believe you would not labour to destroy us as some of you have done and still do but for such we desire that the Lord would forgive you and shew you what you do but not to convince us by sound Doctrine but by the Instruments of foolish Shepherds do you war against us s●●h as they use whom you your selves account Anti christian as well as we for such that think the Way to save Souls is to afflict punish and kill the Body have not received the Truth as it is in Jesus nor the sound Wisdom from above Which is first pure then peaceable gentle and easie to be entreated full of Mercy and good Fruits for the Fruit of Righteousness is sown in Peace mark that but the Fruit of Unrighteousness is sown in Fightings Beatings Stockings Stonings Banishings Imprisonings Finings Robbing and Spoiling of Goods destroying of Families by making many Widdows and Fatherless-Children Is this the Way to bring People to the Kingdom of God then the Apostles were much mistaken for they never made Use of this Way but the contrary for these Things were u●ed against them by those that knew not God but those that have received the Spirit of Christ are Christ's and know the Apostles were not mistaken but it is you that are mistaken in suffering the Spirit of the World to bear Rule in you and that take to it the Honours and Preferments of the World that are but Temporal and so in the World are Lords many but in the Church of Christ one God and one Lord the great Shepherd and Bishop of his Soul who gives many Bishops or Overseers but no Lords as the Apostle saith But to us there is but one God the Father of whom are all things and we in him and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all Things and we by him 1 Cor. 8.6 And those who are by him now gathered out of the World that lyeth in VVickedness and have received the Spirit of Truth cannot but stand Witnesses against those that are of the World who receive and give Honour one to another and would be accounted sent of God to rule in his House which is the Church of the Living God 1 Tim. 3.15 But such manifest themselves by taking the World that lyeth in Wickedness to be the Church the House of God and so make all the Nation to be of their Church except such they have cast out which for the most Part are such that are gathered of Christ out of the World So that all the Thieves Murderers VVhoremongers Adulterers Whores Drunkards Swearers Cursers Lyars and all People of all Sorts that will hea● and pay you both Papists and all Sects and Sorts you account are of your Church except such you cast out as I have said so that Babylon and Egypt and Sodom and all is here by you taken to be the Church of Christ the House of God what a House have you provided for the living God to dwel in the midst of What a Church is here Is
