Moon and as a faithfull witnesse in heaven Psa 89. According to which the holy Angel Gabriel spake unto his mother Mary saying He shall be great and shal be called the son of the highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David and he shall reigne over the house of Iacob for ever and of his kingdome there shall be no end Luke 1.32 33. And as God the Father will settle his Son Jesus Christ in his House and in his kingdome for ever and in the throne of his father David even upon his holy hill of Sion as he also said Psal 2. and establish the same throne for evermore So will he give unto him the he●●hen for his inheritance and the utmost ends of the earth for his possession hee shall breake them with a rod of iron and dash them in peeces like a Potters vessell He shall also have dominion from Sea to Sea and from the river to the ends of the earth They that dwell in the wildernesse shall bow before him and the enemy shall lick the dust yea all Kings shall fall downe before him all Nations shall serve him Psa 772. What can be more plainly spoken then these things are These are no mysticall fantasies nor allegories of humane invention as those of H. N. are but they are the most true Oracles of God Now at this present time Christ sitteth in the throne of God the Father at his right hand in the heavens reigning in the supreme kingdome with him and there he is to sit and reigne yet a little while till God hath put downe all enemies under his feet And then at the last day when he commeth he is to resigne and deliver up the same unto God even the Father as it is written 1 Cor. 15. Psa 89. And then is he to take possession of his own kingdome and throne which God the Father had promised and appointed unto him long agoe even the throne kingdome of his Father David it being Gods kingdome also to reigne over the house of Iacob for ever as it was foretold 1 Chron. 17. Luke 1.31 32. Not in this corrupt world where and while his enemies rule and reigne but in that which is to come when God shall have created new heavens and a new earth and wherein righteousnesse shall dwell for ever according to his promise Esay 65.17 2 Pet. 3.13 Rev. 21. For all enemies even the last which is mortality and death of the body and the sting thereof which is sin shall then be destroyed swallowed up in victory taken away All iniquity shall now stop it mouth as the Scriptures testifie 1 Cor. 15. Psa 117.42 And then also shall the Bride the Lambs wife even the holy Citie the new Jerusalem appeare complete with all her children in her perfect beauty brightnesse and glory according as the Scriptures declare Esay 60. 62. Rev. 21. 22. God wil create Irusalem a rejoycing and her people a joy he will rejoyce in Ierusalem and joy in her children his people the voyce of weeping shall be no more heard in her nor the voyce of crying Esay 65.19 There shall be no more thence an infant of dayes nor an old man that hath not filled his dayes Esay 65.20 There shall be no more marrying nor giving in marriage nor taking of wives nor getting of children neither shall they die any more as H.N. would have it to be in his resurrection Nay all these things will be passed away as it is written Luke 20.35.36 Rev. 21.4 God will now dwell in the midst of his people as in his own Tabernacle and his Sanctuary also shall be in the midst of them for evermore as he hath spoken Ezek. 37. Rev. 21. And they shall bee a treasure in the hand of the Lord a peculiar people an holy nation and a kingdome of Priests before him for ever as it is also written Exo. 19.5.6 And as it is given to the King Psa 2. So hath he promised and will give unto them power likewise and they shall rule the nations with a rod of iron and break them in peeces like a potters vessel Rev. 2.26.27 And as he overcame and is sitten down with his Father in his throne so will he give them all that overcome to sit with him in his throne Rev. 3.21 This for the present and if farther occasion shall require and oportunity serve there may be yet a more full discovery FINIS

A BRIEF DISCOVERY OF The Blasphemous Doctrine of Familisme First conceived and brought forth into the world by one HENRY NICOLAS of the Low Countries of Germany about an hundred years agoe And now very boldly taught by one Mr. Randall and sundry others in and about the Citie of London Whom multitudes of people follow and which Doctrine many embrace The summe or briefe whereof is on the other side of the leafe set downe MATTH 24.4.5 Take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many Imprimatur Iohn Downam LONDON Printed by Matthew Simmons in Aldersgate-street 1645. The summe or maine points of the Doctrine of H. N. 1. THat Christ is already come in his glory from the right hand of God to judge the quick and the dead 2. That the great and last Trumpet now soundeth and they that sleep in Christ are raised from the dead the sting of death which is sin taken away and death swallowed up in victory 3. That holinesse or the anointing of the holy Ghost and the Sabbath is Christ and the sin which they call the contrary anointing and child of the Devill is the Antichrist 4. That all the promises of God and whatsoever is written and foretold in the Scriptures concerning the everlasting Kingdome of Christ and his Saints becometh now in this present day of H. N. and his Family fulfilled 5. That the Seat or Throne of judgement whereon Christ sitteth is the communialty of the Family of Love whereof H. N. is the oldest Father And that he and they are Godded with God and God manned with them 6. That the way and manner of judging is by the new Evangelie of H.N. The parabolicall sayings and mysticall sentences which he hath written and published and the Elders or perfect holy ones of the Family hold forth to the world You shall have the own sayings of H. N. word for word with his owne quotations of Scriptures to read and consider in the following Discovery whereupon you may the better discern and judge of things A briefe discovery of the blasphemous Doctrine of Familisme THat which occasioned me to write and publish this Discovery was some Doctrines delivered in a house within the Spittle-yard without Bishops-gate neere London by one Mr. Randoll whom I was requested by some friends to heare And observing the multitude of people that followed him and how they were affected with his doctrine which I did plainly perceive was the very grounds of Familisme contained in the writings of H. N. I hereupon thought good a little to inform the people therof whereat some were much offended and one mocked and said See what an old man here is and what a child here is And I asked one of them if he did believe that the bodies of men which were dead and buried in the earth should be raised to life againe and he answered me saying I cannot tel And I mentioning Christs resurrection from the dead one answered Christ was not then a true man but onely God and another affirmed that he had known Christ after the flesh And I asked him when and where but hee would give me no answer Whereupon I said See how this people are taught And a woman answered and said unto me I think if you did speak with the Minister you should not find him of their mind And I told her she was deceived he thought the same things So I left them for that time And after this I having a desire to heare him yet more and that the people should be better informed I came again and brought with me five or six papers wherein I had written these words following This Gentleman Mr. Randall doth delude the people with the deceitfull doctrine of Familisme which I will undertake to prove by the things he hath delivered and that he therein doth pervert the straight way of the Lord and destroy the hope of the Saints as much as in him lieth And when his Sermon was ended and that upon consideration of a point of doctrine he delivered that a man baptized with the holy Ghost knew all things even as God knew all things which himselfe greatly admired as a deep mystery and likened it to the great Ocean where there is no casting Anchor nor sounding the bottome I said unto the people This man hath many great words and a great deale of deceit And some of them being much displeased and moved with anger at my saying I went down out of the house into the yard and gave one of the forementioned papers unto a man that was of Mr. Randals acquaintance and requested him to give it him and a friend of mine whom the man knew told him that we desired to speak with Mr. Randal And about three or four dayes after my friend spake with the man whose name as I now understand was Mr Cullumbeame and asked him concerning the motion of speaking with him and he told him that Mr. Randall was very willing and so they appointed the day and hour and place of meeting to that purpose which was on Tuesday the week following being the 25. of February at two of the clock in the afternoon and at the house of the said Mr. Cullumbeame a Grocer in Thames street London So at the day and houre appointed I with five or six of my acquaintance came to the house and staid about the space of two houres waiting for Mr. Randall but he came not Then I having a paper wherein I had written a few Arguments for proofe of the forementioned charge I gave it to Mr. Cullumbeame and wished him to give it Mr. Randall and request him to give us his answer to the same in writing and so we departed The Arguments were these following 1. Whosoever shall teach and perswade the people that the perfection and resurrection spoken of by Paul 1 Corinth 15.51 52 53 54 55 56 57. Philip. 3.11 12 13 14. Ephes 4.12.13 Heb. 6.1 which in verse 18. the Apostle calleth The hope set before us and describeth through the rest of the Epistle following by the names of the true Tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man Heb. 8.2 Good things to come c. chap. 9.11 An eternall inheritance vers 15. An enduring substance chap. 10.34 Great recompence of reward vers 35. A Citie having foundations whose builder and maker is God chap. 11.10 An heavenly countrey and a Citie prepared of God vers vers 16. A better resurrection v. 35. A kingdome which cannot be moved chap. 12.28 A Citie to come chap. 13.14 are to bee attained in the fulnesse and perfection of them according to these testimonies Now in this present time before the common death of the body doth herein teach and perswade to the deceitfull Doctrine of Familisme taught by Henry Nicholas the principall Author thereof and so deludeth the people therewith But Mr. Randall doth so teach and perswade as sundry persons that heard him can witnesse

Mahomet and his doctrine as there is for me or any Christian else to believe this Dutchman Henry Nicolas and his doctrine Although I confesse as touching my self I being in my youth zealously affected was very inquisitive into those severall sorts of Religions which I heard of then professed was as apt naturally as another to be seduced some way or other from the truth and had been but that the Lord of his goodnes he having of his free grace shewed mercy unto me in giving me repentance and forgiveness of my sins by the same grace kept me And as touching this of H. N. especially praised be the Lord I never had any the least inclination in my mind toward it but have always since the time that I first saw into it oppos'd the same as a very blasphemous deceit though I have bin by some very falsely charged with it And now because some may object and say the Scriptures speake plainly in some places of a perfection and resurrection and of an entrance into the rest of God and everlasting kingdom of Jesus Christ here in this present time as Mat. 19.21 Phil. 3.15 Joh. 5.25 Heb. 4 3. Rev. 20.5.6 Col. 2.12 3.1 2 Pet. 1.11 To this I answer and confesse it is true that in the Spirit the faithfull have through faith an entrance into the eternall rest of God kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ and so are risen from the dead and live and shall not come into condemnation soul nor body and this is called perfection the first resurrection renovation spirituall the first fruits of the Spirit c. but this is not the perfection nor the resurrection spoken of Joh. 5.28 Joh. 6.39.40 44. so Luk. 20.35 1 Cor. 15.32 1 Thes 4.16 Phil. 3.11 Heb. 6.1 Neither is this entrance into the rest of God and kingdome of the Lord Jesus Christ the full possession promised the Saints and which they look for But they presse hard toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus looking unto that which is before them and not casting off any of the principles or beginings of Christ as to say as Mr. Randall did away with this or away with that nay but only not to look upon them as if that were all but to leave and forget them in that respect as things behind and yet neverthelesse as Paul also saith whereunto we have already attained let us walk by one rule c. Phil. 3.16 The prize of the high calling being the full perfection and possession of all things promised even the Crown of righteousnesse concerning which Paul saith I have fought a good fight I have finished my course henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousnesse which the Lord the righteous Judge shall give me in that day and not to me only but unto them also that love his appearing 2 Tim. 4.7 And although the very perfection of the Law of God be now required of the Snints and that they are to set the same before them as a perfect mark as well in respect of the Spiritual intent thereof as the literal to love and delight therein with their whole soule and to keep it in the very perfection not in part or for an hour or day but fully and continually yet do they not attain thereunto here nor can though D. G. one of the Doctors of Familisme before mentioned hath very much laboured to prove they may and can but they sigh and mourn and weep because of their sins and daily failings and would fain keep it perfectly this is the law of their mind through the spirit but they have another law in their members which leadeth them captive to the law of sin and of death and yet neverthelesse they crying out against themselves bewailing the same do assuredly believe that they shall be delivered from their body of sin and death as Paul saith Rom. 7. the sting of death which is sin shall be taken away and death swallowed up in victory when the Lord cometh as he also saith 1 Cor. 15. And as touching the coming of the Lord at the last day it is not to be understood in a mystical manner in the Spirit onely as H. N. would have it as if Christ had left or quite put off his humane person neither because Christ hath been is and will be with his Church and chosen people to the end of the world in respect of his Spirit according to his promise to instruct to guide and comfort them is the presence of his Spirit to be taken for this coming nor the instruction guidance comfort of the Spirit which the Apostle himself at that present time injoyed the resurrection he speaks of 1 Cor. 15. as H.N. and the teachers of Familisme would have it Nay but the Lords coming shall be in a most open manifest and glorious manner so as that every eye shall see him and all shall know him to be the very same man Jesus the Chiist that was crucified and pierced at Jerusalem he shall in person really and truly come as the cleer Words of the Scripture speak Matth. 24.30 Rev. 1.7 and sundry other places and this resurrection shall be also in a most plain and evident manner all that are in the graves shall hear his voyce and shall come forth and that truly and really as the Word saith Joh. 5.28 29. Then Abraham Isaac Jacob and all the holy Fathers before them and the holy children after them which sleep in the dust of the earth shall come forth out of their caves tombs graves and places where they have slept each bone of every one shall come to his bone and sinnes shall knit them together skin shall cover them breath shall enter into them and they shall live and stand upon their feet according as Ezekiel prophesied 37. and as Paul testifieth 1 Cor. 15. 1 Thes 4. and also Christ himself Rev. 20.12.13 14. And when the Lord Jesus Christ the Sonne of Man for so hee stileth himselfe shall indeed so come in his glory and all his holy Angels with him as he hath said Matth. 25. Then shall he sit in the Throne of his glory even in that Throne whereof he spoke unto David concerning him saying I will raise up thy seed after thee which shall bee of thy sonnes and I will establish his Kingdome and he shall build me an house and I will estabbish his throne for ever I will be his father and he shall be my son And I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it away from him that was before thee But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdome for ever and his throne shall bee established for evermore 1 Chron. 17.11 12 13 14. And again Once have I have I sworn by my Holinesse that I will not lie unto David his seed shall endure for ever and his throne as the Sunne before me it shall endure for ever as the
