Acts 17. Acts 21. Acts 22. 5. and many examples and Marks and Fruits you may read in the Revelation how Iohn by the spirit of the Lord sets them forth there and in Peter and Iude also THe word of the Lord God to all you which are called the two Mothers in this Nation with them which do come from you whom you have made Ministers as you call them they have told us Christ Jesus hath sent them and we see now with the Light which
comes from Jesus Christ that they are made Ministers by the wil of man and Christ Jesus sent them not but their Mothers as they call them and they told us the Letter it was the Light when the Letter saith Christ is the Light here we do charge them both they and their Mothers to be lyars and to be adulterate from the Light and knows nothing but the outside so with the Light they all lyars are to be condemned for the Lake as it s written the lyars must have their portion in the Lake that burns and they and their Mothers have filled this Nation ful of their lyes but with the Light which comes from Jesus Christ which never changes they are comprehended with it and condemned to the Lake of Lyars and they told us the Sons and Children that came from their Mothers that the Bible it was the Word and the Bible saith that in the beginning was the word and the word was God And here again with the Light which comes from this word which word endures for ever which was before paper and ink was and the Scriptures was given forth and here again we do charge both the Mothers and their Sons to be lyars and no Ministers of the word for they which was Ministers of the word and eye witnesses took in hand to set forth a Declaration in order so it is a Declaration which the Ministers of the word set forth which word was in the beginning by which all things was made and upheld by the word and power the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us and here thou that hast sit as Queen and seen no sorrow and had many children thy desolation is comming and come and the loss of thy children thy skirts are seen and thy nakedness appears and thy lewdness and whoredomes and witchcraft and lyes doth appear to all the children of the Light who are in the Light that comprehends all the world and reaches over it And the Children which are come from their mothers taught us and told us that Hebrew Greek and Latine was the Originall and is the Originall and such learned men must open the Scriptures and with the Light which is eternall which is come from the Son of God with it we do see that before Babell was all the earth was of one Language and then Nimrod the cunning hunter before the Lord which came out of Ham's Stock the Father of Canaan who was cursed he was the beginner of the building of Babell whom God confounded into many Languages and we do see that Pilate which crucified Christ had this Originall Hebrew Greek and Latine and set it over Christ so here with the light we see them Babylon building up and throwing down with their many Languages which is confusion and their Mother the Mother of Harlots which teacheth them many languages which is trimmed and deceives the Nations but with the Light which commeth from Jesus Christ she and her Sons are comprehended and they can go no further then Babel which are Babylon for with the Light you are seen comprehended and judged with the word which was before any language was by which all things was made as is said before and here you are hammered who are in many languages with the word which was as a hammer to beat you in pieces and with the word you are to be cut and divided assunder for the word is as a two-edged sword the word is as a fire to burn you up who be in the many Languages and to you all is the word of the Lord which doth endure for ever and who are redeemed are redeemed forth of the many languages and is come before Babel was And the Children which come from their Mother told us that sprinkling Infants was the Baptism and the Steeplehouse was the Church of a Sacrament which there is no such Scripture and so here again with the Light which Christ Jesus hath enlightned us withall we see they taught us more lyes and so with the Light they are to be condemned as I said unto you before for the light that gave forth the Scriptures saith the Church is in God and with the Spirit they was all baptised into one body and was made all to drink in one spirit with the Light we do see and witness this praised be God which hath seperated us from this lying Generation which holds up these Mothers and their Sons which be Teachers of Lyes And they did tel us these Children that comes from their Mothers that they were the ministers of God and his Prophets and his messengers now with the Light which comes from Christ Jesus we do them all see to be such as be out of the truth and such as the Lord sent Mâ—cah to cry against that are hirelings they that doth not put into their mouths they prepare war against them they that doth to them they preach peace and boast and say is not the Lord amongst them none evil can come to them who see the evil and transgression with the light which comes from Christ comprehended they are with the Light the Prophet that saw Christ witnessed against such with the same Light which Light we witness made manifest which never changes with which light all deceits and deceivers are comprehended and with the Light we do see them that come from their mothers to be such as seeks for their gain from their quarter as beareth rule by their means as seeketh for the fleece which the Lord sent his Prophets to cry against which was in the Light vvhich vvith the Light they savv Christ vvhich Christ hath enlightned us with with which Light we see the same as the Prophets did which was witnesses of Christ with the Light and so here we do see them to be deceivers that goes into the world who useth their tongues and saith the Lord saith when he never spoke to them and speaks a divination of their own brain and follow their own Spirits which are the dreamers with the Light they are seen which never changes and with it which is eternall all comprehended and to you this is the eternal word of God and these Sons that come from their Mothers told us they was Christs Embassador with the Light which comes from Christ which Christ hath enlightned us withall we do see them to be holding up the figures in the first Covenant and their Mothers to be lyars and they no Embassadors of Christ which takes tythes of the people and if they will not give it them who witnesses the unchangeable Pâ—iest Christ Iesus and deny the changeable they sue them at the Law and cause them to be hailed before magistrates Courts Sessions put them in prisons because they wil not pay them tythes here you are declared to the whole nation to be lyars and no Embassadors of Iesus Christ for whom he sent forth he sent forth freely and denyed all oppression here with the Scripture it self you are judged to be
out of the practise of them that he sent forth you that take tythes of the people brings the Scripture for your rule as they that received tythes in old time which had a store-house to put it in them that did not bring their tythes and â—il it they robbed God as saith Mallachie and the Priests which received the tythes the strangers the fatherless the widdows was to come within the Priests Gate he was to minister forth to the stranger the widdows the fatherless that there might be no beggar in Israel now to you that receives tythes I speak who are neither ministers of the Gospel nor ministers of the first covenant but jugglers as you call it are made manifest to all that be in the light Now it you say give Caesar his due which are Hypocrites and bring that for your Cloak for to hold up the figure the first priest-hood that Cloak wil not you cover but your nakedness and whoredome from the Light is seen and with the Light are all to be condemned from the First Covenant and the Second both who are found in the truth in neither for the first priest-hood who had the Store-house into which the Tythes was received which the priests ministred forth to the strangers widdows and Fatherless a Figure of the unchangeable Priest Christ Iesus who ministers out of the everlasting Treasure and while the first priest-hood was standing Store-houses and Tythes was preached up it was before Christ Iesus was preached up the unchangeable â—riest over the houshould of God then the unchangeable was confessed with them and the changeable priest-hood store-house and Tythes was denyed disanulled and of no effect which the deceivers of the world for their own ends Mothers and Sons brings up tythes again and say they are Ministers of Christ but with the Light which comes from Christ Iesus we do see who they are and what they are that have told us these lyes so with the Light they are to be condemned and their Mothers and their Children and their pâ—oâ—â—lites that they have begotten To the Light in all your Consciences I speak which shall witness me eternally and you all condemn that hate it and hold up such things and to you this is the word of God that you might see your selves what you are and they have told us which came from their Mothers that they was in Christ steed and he sent them but with the eternal Light which never changes which Christ Jesus hath enlightned us withall we do them see in the steps of the Scribes and Pharisees garnishing the Sepulchers of the Righteous building the Tombs of the Prophets and Apostles as whited walls outside Sepulchers and Graves which buries the just whose hands are ful of Blood Envie and Hatred which be such as are called of men Master and have the chiefest places in the Assemblies standâ—th praying in the Synagogues in the steps of the phraisees their Fathers which were enemies to Christ as you may read Mat. 23.
