Secondly They deny immediat Revelation from Heaven which I and all the Saints have and do witness therefore they deny the Father and the son For no man knoweth the Father but the Son Mat. 11.27 and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him Math. 11.27 Thirdly They deny the Scripture for the Scriptures declare that all the holy men of God in all ages the Lord made known himself to them by Revelation Here yee make God mutable and changeable Mal. 3.6 Heb. 13.6 which is blasphemy for saith he I am God and change not and this we witness Mal. 3.6 for He is the same to day yesterday and for ever Heb. 13.8 Fourthly They deny perfection to be obtained while creatures live in this body of clay here also ye deny the Scripture which holds out perfection to be obtained while the creature lives or never Gen. 17.1 Matth. 5.48 1 Pet. 5.10 First Ye deny God Deut. 32.4 Matth. 5.48 who is perfect in himself and all the Saints are made perfect as they are gathered up into Him Gen. 17.1 Deut. 18.13 Eph. 4.11 12 13.

Therefore my Counsel is that you would leave off deceiving poor souls and let the Lord who is an everlasting teacher teach them Psa 23. Isa 40.11 for He will lead them in the paths of Righteousness for Psalm 23. He will lead his flock like a shepheard and carry his Lambs in his Arms and carry them in his bosome and gently lead them that are with young Isa 40.11 But as for you he will spew you out of his mouth and ye shall be as unsavory salt under the foot of men Jer. 28.26 because ye have taught rebellion against the Lord Jer. 28.26 And I will gather my People from all places whither ye have driven them and will set shepheards over them which shall not be lacking saith the Lord Ier. 3.15 for I will give them Pastors according to my own heart saith the Lord Jer. 3.15 they shall build up the old waste places they shall raise up the former desolations that you and your fathers the Priests have made for they shall be called the Priests of the Lord Isa 61.4.5 and men shall call them the Ministers of our God Isa 61.4.6 They shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all Nations upon Horses and Chariots and Litters and upon Mules and upon swift beasts to my holy Mountain Jerusalem saith the Lord as the Children of Israel bring an offering in clean vessels unto the House of the Lord I will also take of them for Priests and for Levites saith the Lord for New Heavens and New Earth which I make shall remain before me saith the Lord so shall your seed and your names remain from one new Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come and worship before me saith the Lord.
