Ministry which you run after Some for the Presbyterians and some for the Independents some looking for Christs comming in the clouds ●f the sky without you and in their minds imagine a personal reign And thus you are confused and divided in your vain thoughts and imaginations which makes you manifest that you know him not come at all nor cannot confess him come in the flesh And so you are proved by the Scripture to be the Antichrist which John speaks of which should be in the last times Where the Apostle saith little Children i● is the last time and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come even now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time 1 John 2.18 And the Apostle saith farther hereby know ye the spirit of God every Spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God and every Spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God And this is that spirit of Antichrist whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world 1 John 4.2 3. Now all people try your Teachers by the Scriptures and their practise and let their own words try them who looks for a Christ yet to come as some of them said what will you Quake●s do who saith Christ is within you when Christ comes in the Clouds Here now all people do but honestly examine and see wheth●r these spirits confess Christ come who looks for him yet to come And let the light of Christ Jesus in your consciences examine search you and try you whether you dare b l●eve that which the Apostle spoke so to be truth who saith every Spirit who doth not confess Christ Jesus come in the flesh is not of God or these D●ceivers who lo●ks for him yet to come And thus you are divided some for a personal reign and some for the Independent way and some for the Presbyterian way and some of you utterly denies the Scripture as Wiliam Barret did who denied ●hat any should witness the receiving the end of their Faith the Salvation of their souls as it is in 1 Pet. 1.9 And others denied that Christs body is spiritual as Richard Herricke lately did at Manchester and so thus you are in your contention and striving about the body of Jesus as the Divel did about the body of Moses which makes you clearly manifested to all that have their eyes opened in the least measure to be those filthy dreamers which defiles the flesh which Jude speaks of And ye are plainly manifested that ye are they which eateth and drinketh unworthily and so eateth and drinketh your own damnation not discerning the Lords body And here let all poor people about Manchester who are betrayed and deceived with you seriously consider what you are leading them into who knows not the body yet whereof Christ Jesus is the head but are at variance about the body of Christ Therefore consider of what bodi●s ye are members of seeing your leaders knows not the body of Christ And beware of d●ceiving your own soules and being bet●ay●d by these deceivers who leads them in the dark and so is the blind leaders of the blinde and so both falls into the pit For they can lead none but who are blind Fo● any who hath their minds turned in the least measure to the light sees them and discerns them to be the Ministers of Antichrist and the Deceivers and false Prophets which John speak of which are gone out into the world from the light which is this worlds condemnation and denies the light by which the Lord God teacheth his people As some of them said that the Scripture is a more seemly Oracle then the light within when as Christ Jesus saith the light of the body is the eye and if the eye be single the whole body is full of light And so these deceivers that denies the light of the body were not like to know the body but makes images in their dark vain minds one imagining one way and another another way and so betrays poor people and keeps their soules in death But the Lord God is risen who is the Father of light and he who is the light of the whole body is redeeming his people from under the devourers mouths Therefore all people who desire to know the living God and the Lords body turn your minds within to the light which shines in your conscienc●s which shews you sin and evil and checks you when you do amiss and lets you see your vain thoughts and your deceitful hearts this will rip you up and lay you open and makes all things manifest This convinceth of sin and brings all things to remembrance which all the Doct●ine which your hirelings preached never did Therefore give over going after them and search into the Scriptures and you will see them the deceivers of your souls The Scriptures witnesseth against them and their practises even in th●i● manner of their worship For nothing that they act in that which they call their worship is according to the Scriptures And all the Saints in light which gave forth the Scriptures witnessed against these practises they live in Do but honestly consider and you will see that all them that were at variance amongst themselves as Wiggin and Eaton and Herricke and Barret and Hollingworth all these agree together in opposing and persecuting the truth And although that some of them were the men that appointed the meet ng yet had they not so much power over the people as to have the meeting kept peaceable but all was in an uproar So let all people see what order and g●vernment is in these Churches and several opinions which makes them manifest they who are so d●v●ded amongst themselves are all divided from the living God and from the living Truth from Christ Jesus who is the way the truth and the life and this is but one Therefore al● people a warning a warning from the Lord God to you as you will answer it before him who is a consuming fire to the wicked turn to the light of Jesus Christ which will xamine and search and try you and bring you to know Christs will in you and so bring you out of the repr●ba●e faith This will let you see the Mystery which ●s Christ within and this will bring you to know him come in the flesh and it will let you see these Antichrists who are in the world striving amongst their m●ny opinions and therefore are they condemned with the light which is the worlds condemnation for ●he light is the condemnation of the world and all the A●tichrists that are in the world And so now see whether you will turn to the light of Jesus Christ who is the way the truth and the life which is but one or you will continue amongst them who are of the many opinions who denies the light and Christ come in the
