And if any Man do wonder at its burning it is because his soul knoweth not the LORD that bought him and further his Name is not write in the book of life for all wonder and marvel and admiration it is until CHRIST be come but when Faith is planted wonderment sesseth GOD reigns Man is made obedient then as he made an idol depending upon that dead Letter Christ is the living life of righteousness which is the spiritual life invalved under them dark expressions and when CHRIST is come the Soul is Gospel GOD's voice is sounded the new Creation erected Adam restored to his first sight There is the whole Mystery of the Gospel's History these Words are true Scripture The Letter killeth but the Spirit of JESUS CHRIST is life eternal opening dark dead men into the Communion with the Father Therefore all People Tongues and Nations Know That I did not burn the BIBLE in contempt of GOD or in contempt of its Record from GOD for then I had condemned my own life which is framed in obedience unto that litteral expression but thus I had made an Idol of the BIBLE because its living life was not then rose in me although thus much I had offered for the glory in the Gospel contained Thus I forsook my Trade made Restoration according to God's command upon me forsook all glory of this World went out from men became a Nazarite unto God yet all this was but short TAke notice people who amongst you are come thus far and all people know you are no neerer GOD then light is to darkness for all your praying preaching nor hearing but so far as in Truth you practice GOD's command and you must be in the Faith of JESUS before any obedience can stand and this work doth wholly undoe mans wisdom and inlets GOD's righteousness If you say I burned the word of GOD. I say the Word of GOD cannot be burned for it's GOD's Righteousness in my Soul planted and unto Men by my life declared in these Words Sell all that you have and give unto the poor and follow me Do you not all know this to be true Scripture No it is not true in you until you in obedience so act that the life of GOD may reign in your mortal bodyes for ye are to be wholly clean in Body Soul and Spirit and this Trial I state to try you by yea most have high Names in your mouths but whose heart is freed from covetousness ye see GOD is holy are ye not lustful who amongst you all doth know one woman onely for production of life but ye are whore-masters and whores saith Jehovah that do know and not bring forth THus saith GOD The dogs and toads are that you count the basest in the Creation is cleaner then all men and woman under heaven for they act onely for life and ye for your abominable lusts Thus take notice what can be begotten after he childe doth in the wombe testifie the act But thus saith God he will cleanse the earth from all this beastly lust by fire by sword by famine by plague and pestilence and scropian diseases till it be consumed unto his beautiful State which the burning the Lord's tent doth configurate for all things of never so great worth or curiosity will God destroy until he come unto his state of beauty and that is his own righteousness which will be Christ's reign a thousand yeers according to the record for every word must have spiritual fulfilling and litteral also which is Monarch the fifth the Jews Lords the earth restored for Jehovah shall reign on Mount Sion and the holy Law shall go forth of Jerusalem NOw I shall declare the truth of Jehovahs command unto me thus three dayes before I came down to the House the name I know not by reason of its Castrophe ing ing ing thus my body fainted and my spirit in me retained scarce strength to move my frame then my teeth beat in my head as the fiercest ague that ever fell on man my knees smote together my hands quaked and my water fell from me for the presence of God was terrible unto me then came the word of Jehovah and said unto me go down and slay the rebels against me and make sharp thy sword for they have broken their Covenants and stand with their swords saying we will break our Covenants in which our souls are bound unto God then I cryed O Lord wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked and the Lords wrath was kindled against me and and said go execute my wrath on the rebels against me Then the Lord commanded to burn his Tent onely save the Tent staff and burn the Priests garments with all that I had whereupon I began to burn many things and my own books for all books do but image the life of some thing from the life expressing the true thing and are dead idols when you come to dy what good can all the written books in the world do you they are but dead letters nay living men cannot save you and except Jesus Christ dwell in you yea are reprobates for he onely is the word of God that was made flesh and he is the reconciler unto the father I and my Father are one so the Scripture and the word of God abideth for ever and cannot be divided but it doth divide all dividings and indraw all dividings into one unity Satis Rex Then the Lord said when I was burning and got men to help me Stay thine hand thy sacrifice is accepted then I burnt no more the multitude began to rage and I said may not I do what I will with my own and I brought my gown and before all the people this was my shrine of shift in and by my trade I did cheat and cozen the people and threw it in the fire and said whosoever doth not in all he doth perserve every mans good equall with his own is a thief and a murderer which is but thus much Love thy neighbor as thy self this is the Gospel where it is acted and the day before I came over and returned back because they were gone and that night the Lord did command me to hire two pair of Oars the one to carry me over to stay on me both till I came back and give them twelve shillings for
know it to be Gods word if my words do not smite you and ye are righteous men then my words are from the devil Then I cryed aloud and said if any man did fear God let him praise God that had tryed me even to death and I had not slain any man and now my hand should be clean from the blood of them but God would raise Butchers then they said who were the Butchers then I said I will tell you who they are they are the souldiers whom you have cozened and cheated your armies shall divide and they shall hew you assunder and cut you off root and branch therefore if there be any that fear God depart from among the accursed men for God will cut them off and their children and not leave one of them to piss on the earth Then they said why did not I execute Gods command I said God accept the will for the deed instance Abraham then two rose and said I had said that God had accepted my sacrifice or offering I denyed their words they affirmed and upon my illustrative they stated a position and bid the Chairman wright it down and so to have taken away my life because I had convinced them by Gods truth yet their wickedness is so great that they defie the Lord that bought them even unto his very face still those two men affirmed a position in plain terms them which would have taken away my life by their false witnessing proved thus because God did stay their Chairmans hand and two men one of my right hand and one on my left gave testimony that delivered me from my death and said my words were not positive which knew all men the laws all position As thus for doing in such a thing such an punishment but yea asses know for such an entention if it had truely been the law cannot lay hold and know there can be no treason against all traytors and that lies behind to come in its place you will say and judge Theauraujohn did write this book I see them that know me in the spirit do know I did write this book but they that would know me litterally shall not know I write this book and yet know you all I did write this book but whether dead or alive you know not this is one of your own but it is beyond your form hear ye cheaters of the nations liberty I write and no man sees how can any of your perjured ones say he saw me spell these words write the letters that doth contain my meaning then it goes unto the Priests then it is another thing and such a thing that no law in England can lay hold upon Thus my copy is consumed to give glory unto the Priests the Printer he printeth the copy he dare not swear that he that gives him the coppy saw him write the copy it s his trade to print and by the free Law of England every man may use his lawful calling without mollestation else ye fools where is the grand Charter of Albion now named England Know all men God doth command to honor these three men the Chairman and the two men on each side and I my self do give unto each of them their due respect as they were true witnesses of my true words and so saved my life and thus saith Jehovah that when his Buchers the man slayer shall excute his just judgement on the rest their life I have given unto them for a pray but their estates are gone because of a confederasie with the sons of Belial their names I will declare to the whole kingdom for their honor so soon as I know their names for I knew not one man but Master Hull as I went by into the room The next and last was this I did beseech them consider that a man of peace a man that had forsaken all that God should raise him up for to testifie with the hazard of his life Gods fierce wrath kindled against them to cut them off quite from the earth Then one answered and said I fought with Colonel Rich then I said Gentlemen I beseech you all to hear me in this matter then they heard me attentively then I said that when Colonel Rich and Captain French that villain with the rest of the theeves came to divide their theevish purchases the Parks in which they had cheated the poor souldiers by buying their debenters for a song in comparison of their due right for Gentlemen I said thus if I set a man to work till it comes unto twenty shillings and then give him ten graots I count them cheating theeves and villains What do you think of this At this word they were mute and asked me what I was and if I loved the Quakers and I said they were honest men then they made strange then I said I love all as an Independent Anabaptist Papist Cavileer and all men if they were but what they said but for to speak good words and under them good pretences wrong and spoil others them my soul did abhor and loath Gentlemen I am a man that doth acknowledge a State of Kings Earls Barons and Lords which is Monarchy the fifth Christ shall a thousand yeers This that I now write is added for to give the land notice from Jehovah I do from the Lord according unto our lineal dissent as before the land it shall be proved our right to be royal lineal duely without transposition claim the crown of England and by the which true right undoubtedly when the records do appear and from that true right I do voice forth unto the world though in prison a degrasion of all honors conferred on and upon any person honorable or worshipful from the day and yeer of the life acting of the Duke of Glocester named Richard the third Englands King and also I degrad all title of Henry the seventh as none in heritance in Englands crown right by which cheat Stuard came in by marriage of Henry the sevenths daughter and in this degraidment lies the rest degraded and an annihilated for by Jehovah every man shall have his due right and my self not one farthing and not my self nor mine children and people one penny for I go to a greater inheritance which is Jerusalem onely I do retain my due right and title Albiton or Albion that is the lands restoring the oppressor cut off the people shall praise God that made them when by righteousness they are restored Take notice all people of England although by a Divine right I do challenge and claim the whole Forrest lands as we shall prove in a lawful Sessions of the Nations just chousing and also our Royal title of Albanugaunny The which title doth include the Crown of England yet all people know we do scorn that our title Royal should be expostulated with our younger brothers servants or journiman I mean my Lord Protector and his chosing by him stated for I tell you the name Cromwell doth degraid him
their day and said unto them it is the King of Israels pay and know I cannot go over under so hath the Lord commanded me when I come by water and my pay and purse would scarce before given two pence This is the truth Jehovah is my witness now when I had don burning the people did rage so that I was fain to go to boat with my sword drawn and one Rowle Tichburn with me and I borrowed an old sword for him to have in his hand but he knew nothing at all onely my safty from the people that did stone us in the boat and I cannot go without a a gard by reason of the heathen rage and imagine a vain thing then I came thinking I had my petition but it was left on the table at home and I came into the Loby and spake to Master Hull that he would help me to deliver it and he said any scivile curtesie he would do but I must give it to a Member and I said I know no men their presently I went down by the Lords command for he said their was not enough for all should hear that the godly might fear Then I went down unto the house and had two mess of broth and two pots of Ale for Tichburn and my self then I was commanded by Jehovah for to go and comming to the door the door-keeper of the Loby pressed me betwixt the door and the wall whereupon I came in I sliped of my cloak and drew my sword and ran at him so hard that the point came within a foot of the hand and would not enter then I swange my sword round about to have killed all that was nigh me then I run to the door and strock it with my foot and then they gat hold on me and threw me down and took away my sword and committed me now since God hath shewn me his meaning which is thus he gideth and governeth all things and caused me to preach his wrath that is kindled against you all to cut you off clean from the earth onely for a small seed of his spirit detracted it but as Jehovah lives if they separate not themselves you shall all fall together because the Lord caused me to preach to them the danger they are in with the hazard of my life Lift not up your heads ye rebellious sons of wrath for thus saith Jehovah that I shall with that sword and my stasse although it would not cut them I shall fight with an hundred of Baals champions I mean the chief Covenant-breakers those that robbed the souldier of his due earned wages or them that felloniously stole the faith of the Nation with the promting prating Priests and by this combate the whole earth shall know who is God Thau Rex Israel let Jehovah raign over all rebellious flesh But my hand shall not touch any of you except as is stated and for this let all people that fear the Lord praise the Lord that hath tryed his Anointed unto the death and yet hath kept his hand from the life taking away of any one and though my hands shall be clean you shall not escape Jehovah hath sworn it therefore you that fear the Lord assembly not your selves for lucre nor any end for if ye will not hear by Jehovah when God doth bring the man slayer he shall make no difference because you have been warned and ye harden your necks against the holy God that would save you Take warning take warning take warning fear tremble and depart their place and company least ye be partakers of their plagues Now all people see your liberty by my president amongst wicked men your lord rulers by their own unjust laws they sent for me to examine me before a Committee and some friends were at prison and went along with me but because of their wickedness they are fearful of every winde and according to their wills establish for our English laws no man must hear me examined but one or two pressed in The first queries were frivolus as where I lived and had I not been at Rome and my clothes did did trouble them and they asked me who gave me money for my clothes I answered by their asking that question they were free from charity for they were to clothe the naked and feed the hungry Then they did aske why were my sleeves so laced I said it was the Glob in the foure Spheres holdment and I told them that they were no wiser then before The next was why was the cullor green I said it was the ancient Forrester of England all people take notice and I did and would claim the whole Forrest land of Albian now named England in my predecessors Barron Toni then people crowded in and they were afraid to sit any longer I appeal unto their consciences Then at night when none could know I was sent for and no man but themselves there then they asked me where they left then came the Spirit of God upon me and gave me both courage and wisdom for God never fails if you one him surely depend then I said I would declare the Lords word my command faithfully and then they could not have any power to harm me but if I should keep back one word then their spirits would enter upon me to harm me And this is the word from Jehovah that came unto Theauraujon Taunijah now named from Jehovah Thau Rex Israel These words I said before them the Lord commanded me to come down saying GO SLAY THE RECELS AGAINST ME for they have broken their Covenants and stand with their swords in their hands saying we will break all our Covenants with the Lord unto whom our souls stand bound Then I said Lord will thou slay the godly with the wicked Then one of the Members of their own making said what Covenant have we broken Answ Then I said thus saith the Lord do not ask what Covenant have you broken but what one of all them Covenants your souls stand bound unto God have you kept Then they answered and said this man can preach yea said I five times three times at Eltham and two times at Lambeth and now your Funeral Sermon for thus saith the Lord ye are accursed before Jehovah and he will cut you off root and branch for have you not condemned to death and your selves raign by the same law Then they said Why is my Lord Protectors wayes perverse and accursed before God Thus God hath shewn me that ye all are but my Lord Protector minde you all and the rest are but my Lord Protector for know you all that except you write his coppy you cannot sit here Then they said how should they know it was the word of God that I spake Thus said I shall ye know it if my words do not smite you and ye are righteous men then my words are from the divel wright me this down this is mine then the Chairman wrote the words I repeating them Thus shall you
Williams will not hold him but I know that had not he transgressed all Jehovahs commands he is bigger greater and higher by a true lineal signe then he is in his assention of his full right and whereas my life was jeparded for to declare a message from Jehovah to him now if he would give his whole riches I would not see his face for the Lord hath determined to cut him off root and branch because he hath hardened his heart against the Lord for the Lords word to me was his safty if he would have obayed and an increw of honor rightly stated but he hath forsaken the day of mercy therefore cut him now off so saith Jehovah This is the copy of a Letter sent to the House Mr. Speaker MY request unto the house is that I may have an assignement from your house that I may with my keeper attend the House for right from the House against two Traytors in consistancy to morrow being Thursday which I shall make charge against for my charge and crime is but breach of Peace for which I have suffered imprisonment and it cannot be breach of peace if you had not broken your Covenants because a free Parliament a free egress unto that Parliament And know you all that a door unto the door is a breach of the subjects liberty and for the breach of the subjects liberty I do demand justice upon that door keeper that broke my peace in pressing me betwixt the door and the wall in coming for right unto I know not what to name and against my liberty the lands cause I drew my sword I desire that I may have liberty with my keeper to go to my Lord Protector for the Lord hath so commanded me That he set his foot upon my neck if in me be iniquity let him slay me or cause me to be put to death for I labor to the Cause and wave the Effect Thau Israel Rex This letter was sent presently after the cheat by night that commanded me to be brought before them and the Lord commanded me for to buy a lock and a chain saying I do binde thee to stand by them and as this chain and lock is my burden upon thee so are them assembled rebells against me and also against the Gospel Law and all good mens liberty thou shalt keep the lock and give them the key and I will bring again by thee Englands liberty so the lock is on my legg night and day till approach our liberty And this is a word from Jehovah unto the assembly of rebels that have forsworn their own vows in which their souls was bound unto me saith the Lord they are accursed catterpillers smiting the labour of every innocent and thus saith God that knoweth all things in whose hands is life and death the life of mans soul after the dissolution of the body that formed the morning unto all beings that gave Paradice its being in the high Spheres Celestial that hangeth the Globe in its four Spheres that concentreth the air in every breath that maketh the wind the life in creation Thus saith the Lord that you scorn with your whole soul saying we will establish our way our course shall prosper and we will raign although ye have oppressed the poor cozened the rich deceived all and assumed the Nations Title birth right law liberty and godliness hath fetcht this design Ye reprobates saith Jehovah ought not you to have been servants in your due rights and not sinners against me who am your life but you have contemned righteousness justice truth and equity and your everlasting salvation which consisteth in a holy obedience unto my holy will revealed in my litteral word and you hypocrites have made my litteral word your stalking-horse that thereby you might erect your covetous practice O ye villains and traytors against me saith God do you remember your houling and your hypocritical faces that you formed that by that you might in snare the honest godly men and women to deceive them Thus saith God that formed all things and beings that he sent his servant to shew you high transgressions which he wil not forgive because you have murdered his servants that did and do testifie the truth of actings unto your face should ye not saith God have humbled your selves in sackcloth and ashes thereby to have staid the fierce wrath that is kindled against you but ye the highest rebels that ever the earth bore yet ye lift up your selves for all your transgressions and to the very face of your Maker say what covenant have we broke and your consciences witness in you you have broken all that ever you made O houl ye dogs for your day of vengeance is now come for to cut you off root and branch and cleanse the earth from its oppresors and oppression Thus saith God he himself will plead his servants cause you say that he offended very high and not to be paralleled I Jehovah saith my God do testifie you are the cause and he obeyed my command faithfully therefore will I honor my servant Israels King the whole earth over and the Angels shall sing hallilujahes in his praise Sebab almam almarrauim mugmahhuhm Sebarte Casti For he hazarded his life to free his soul from his engagement in the lands cause which he covenant with the honest party at the first beginning he bore faithful witness to your faces when you by no right could call him before you because you had betrayed the nation justs trust unto you committed did not he testifie that he stood with you in covenant till you had all forsworn your selves and have you not let God and the land witness then you began to rage at him he said do not rage he did not care one farthing for you all for you were all collered and could go no further then God would permit and said he knew you all did Gods work though you knew it not this was in the onely high Committee that dare let none hear nor see what they did Look to it God pleads with you himself by mortal man and saith that if you were all slain the covenant were kept our souls disengaged that now unto God stand bound for to maintain righteousness justice truth and equity in them words lies our souls bound that covenanted against the Kings party your power cut off the land freed from perjurers the liberty gained the land restored covenant-breakers executed and every man freed from you the oppressors and untill this be done every mans soul stands bound into God to receive eternal punishment for so high an engagement therefore see unto your selves every man God is just and will not clear the guilty Thus saith the Lord that formed the heart in man that it is death by all Englands law for you to assume and presume for to sit in that house without being rightly chosen duely in trust with whole free consent the nations right still inherent in your masters who set you
