The spirituall Verses and Profe of James Hunt which shall be plainly showne God hath lighted my Candle within his glorious Throne IT is written in the 18. Chapter of the Revelation J saw an Angel come down out of Heaven having great power and the earth was lightned with his glory And now ye Clergie I plainlie see and understand You say your Universities they are the two eyes of this Land Why then if your eyes be so clear that you can see I pray declare and show to mee who that Angel should bee But that deep misterie for you is yet too strong And for that cause you shall be taught by the English Tongue For the plain Plowman and Cavalier Whom God hath mounted on the Throne of grace He saith ye Clergie you shall be forced for to see clear You must give way and place But when I come within your Pulpit for to flie Ye Magistrates you say I am to proud because I clime so high But Jesus Christ he hath made me as bold as a Lyon for to stand up faithfull on his side And God my Father he 〈…〉 me a powerfull Sw … 〈…〉 down the Clergies pride For you doe so many fâ—lâ—e Doctrines raise by your 〈◊〉 tonâ—ue and Greek phrase That now by Gods helpe the plain English tonguea will winne the prâ—ise It is written in the 7 h. Chapter of the Revelation and the 17. verse The Lambe which is in the midst of the Throne he shall load the people on to the living Fountaines of waters And Father Sonne and holy Ghost they are the glorious and heavenly fountaines from which the waters of life doth freely spring and flow For there are three that bear record in heaven the Father the Word and the holy Ghost and these three are one And now ye Clergy I hope ye all know the Word doth signifie Christ Jesus who is the second person in Trinitie and Father Sonne and holy Ghost they are one in God head and one in Unitie And Jesus Christ he doth tell you in the one and twentieth Chapter of the Revelation sixâ—h verse I will give unto him that is a thirst of the fountaine of the Water of life freely Which water of life doth signifie the spiritual word of life which is made manifest in the New Testament which is the Book of life And Jesus Christ he doth tell you in the fourth Chapter of Iohn and the 14 verse He that drinketh of the water that I shall give him he shall never thirst for the water that I shall give him saith Christ shall bee in him a Well of water springing up to everlasting life And Jesus Christ by the power of his Spirit he hath made me for to see and know His water doth spring so freelie in me that my Well doth overflow For Jesus Christ he doth tell you plainly in the seventh Chapter of Iohn and the 38 verse He that beleeveth in me out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water And now by Gods help I will boldly say as it is written in the 10 Chapter to the Hebrews and the 21 vers And having a high Priest over the House of God I doe most humbly beseech all ye that are athirst that now you will draw neere to God with a true heart and have your bodies washed with pure water for the washing of your bodies doth signifie your soules which is the inward man which shall be sanctified and glorified by drinking freely of the water of life For it is written in the 17 Chapter of Iohn Christ saith Sanctifie them through thy truth thy Word is truth for Christ is the Word and the truth and Christ doth tell you the glorie which God his Father gave unto him he doth give unto his Saints that they may be all one in us that the world may beleeve that thou hast sent me And now I say againe the Lambe which is in the middest of the Throne doth signifie Gods glorious Preacher for Jesus Christ he is called by the name of a Lambe and Gods Word doth tell you he that is joyned to the Lord is one Spirit And now by Gods help I shall make it plainly appeare the Word of God which is written in the New Testamant doth proceed from Father Sonne and Holy Ghost which is the glorious throne of grace It is plainlie written in the 20 Chapter of Iohn and the 21 vers When Jesus was risen from the dead he came and appeared amongst his Apostles and he said unto them As my Father hath sent me even so I send you and he breathed on them and said receive ye all the Holy Ghost Againe It is plainly written in the first Chapter to the Ephesians and the third verse Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with all spirituall blessings in heavenlie places in Christ And Christ he is the Mediatour of the New Testament as you may read in the ninth Chapter to the Hebrews and the 15 vers And Jesus Christ he did make all his Apostles able Ministers of the New Testament as you may read in the third Chapter of the second Epistle to the Corintians And thus by Gods help I have proved in briefe the Word of God which is written in the New Testament doth proceed from Father Sonne and holie Ghost and the water of life is the spirituall Word of life which is revealed in the New Testament which is the Booke of life And now all ye that have a desire to drinke freelie of the water of life which is so glorious and pure the same will cause you to forsake those polluted waters which doth proceed from the great Whore For now by Gods help I will show you in brief the true signification of the great whore which siteth upon so many waters Revel 17.1 And those many waters must not be taken for temporall waters which is to be deserned with the bodily eye for the 15. vers doth tell you the waters which thou sawest where the Whore siteth are peoples multitudes Nations and tongues And now by the divine power of Gods Command I must give ye high Court of Parliament to understand The Devill he is the great whore and the Devill he hath blinded and deceived the Clergie and the Clergie they have blinded and deceived all those people which are held under their power for the second vets doth tell you the Inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her furnication And ye Clergie when you are in your Pulpits you crie out and say if the drunkards do not repent they must down to hell And now I say the same is a plain truth which you do tell But ye Clergie I must tell you plainlie you will be found To be the greatest drunkards in Citie or in Countrie town But I pray understand and mark well what I say For you art great drunkards in a spirituall way For ye are alwayes drinking and yet alas alas
reconciled unto the son of the woman free And then you and I shall live in love and peace and quickly agree For the Son of the free woman in plain and brief I must you tell That doth signifie Jesus Christ and the Gospel And I pray understand the Gospel in his right place For it is the new Testament which doth proceed from the throne of grace And now ye Lords Knights and Burgesses in Parliament Committees Captains and Commanders I do most humblie beseech you all for the true love that is in God my glorious Father that now you will in time repent and be reconciled to Jesus Christ and to the ministration of the new Testament which is my glorious Gospel of love and peace that by the divine power thereof your joy and glorie may increase and now the God of love and peace who hath brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepheard of the sheepe through the blood of the everlasting Covenant make you all perfect to do his will working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight through the divine power of Jesus Christ our Lord. Hebrews the 13. Chapter and the 20. vers And now I say again Jesus Christ he is the great shepherd of the sheepe and that is but one true and perfect God and there must and shall be but one Religion one shepherd and one sheep-fould and Father Son and holie Ghost they have made me a powerfull Instrument for to call and gather Gods sheepe into the true fould that Gods love and power and glorie you may behold And ye high Court of Parliament I pray take Councell now of God and me and in true judgment seat for Gods word doth tell you the woman clothed with the Son shall burn the Moon under her feet And ye blind Synod you have been along time a seting forth of Christ and his true Church as I may boldlie say but alas alas you are all as men in the moon for you cannot find the way and now ye Committees and Excisers the tax monie which you force me and the people to pay you say the same is for the seting forth of true and sound Religion but I must tell you true that sound Religion shall not be set forth by those moon-blind Sinod whom the Parliament hire with our monie nor yet by anie other polititian government or power which doth proceed from mans invention for true peace and sound Religion and Church Government the same shall be established and set forth by that divine power and spirit which doth freelie proceed from Father Son and holie Ghost And now ye Excisers and tormenting Committee in Town and in Citie I pray mark well what I say For if you will not turn and repent Hell-fire will make you lament For Gods power you shall obay For if you will not learn the way of peace which is unto salvation You shall be sure for to obay the torments of damnation But I hope there is none of you that doth desire for to burn in hell Why then I pray do not fight against the light for God will have his will And Father Son and holie Ghost whose light is above the brightnes glorie of the Sun Their power doth command my spirit within their races to run And false power and false Doctrine which proceedeth from the Devill which is hatefull in Gods sight That shall be reproved and overthrown by the glory of the light Which true light proceedeth from above I say from the true God of peace and love Vnto whom be alwayes Honour Glory and Power now and ever more Amen FINIS
