B03609	A description of the true temple and worship of God. And Jesus Christ manifested to be the head of the Church, which is his body, and the onely pastour and also the members of the body of Christ, known by their fruits, from the synagogue of Antichrist, with a few words to the Romane Catholicks. Likewise the order of the church in God the body of Christ made manifest, and the disorder of the synagogue of Antichrist.

world in him the fulnesse of the Godhead dwells bodily and all that dwell in the truth in the light in Christ dwell in peace for in me saith Christ Ye have peace dwell in the light in Christ free from the condemning power of the Law but out of the light in draknesse under the condemning power of the Law under the curse and wrath of God this is the way of true knowledge the light loving it and the way of life and peace to all that receive it to be their leader and for ever blessed are they that submit to the Scepter of Jesus Christ and continue under his Government unto the end for they shall have an inheritance with the righteous generation in the world which hath no end A Discovery of the true worship of God the order of the true Church and the Disorder of the Synagogue of Antichrist MAny various Forms there are in these our latter dayes who all pretend to be believers in Christ and call themselves by the names of Christians yet in judgement and opinion one differ from another Yea in severall points principles and doctrines and in the ministration of their ordinances which they call the ordinances of Christ as Baptisme their Sacraments preaching praying singing of Davids conditions and private duties as they call them which all are performed in their own wills and in their own times which will worship is contrary to the worship of God and is to perish as the Scripture of truth doth affirm as may be read in Colossians the 2. chap. 20 21 22 23 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world why as though living in the World are ye subject to Ordinances touch not tast not handle not which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men which things have indeed a shew of wisdome in will-worship humility and neglecting of the body Take notice the will-worshippers neglect the body which is the substance and continues in the perishing shadows which profiteth not all the doctrines of men and carnal ordinances which have their rise and foundation from the imagination of the fleshly wisdome are to perish for they are all without life and all ye various formalists who feed upuon such things feed upon husks and something there is in you which cannot be satisfied with such food but often shews the emptinesse of all your duties and self-performances and will worship though you little regard it ye are so highly puft up in the knowledge of what your imaginations hath led you into and though your Souls famish for want of living bread yet many of you are content to take up your rest in these perishing things which can never give true satisfaction to the hungry soul but onely nourishes and feeds the carnall mind which is enmity to God and there are all the Forms of Religion upon the face of the whole earth who deny the light of Jesus Christ the chief corner-stone who is true and sure foundation in enmity against the truth and enemies to the true worshippers who are builded upon the sure foundation who worship God in the Spirit and in the truth Now verily verily I say unto you the truth is but one the true worship but one the true Church which is the body of Christ but one the Members of the body of Christ differ not in any thing but are of one heart one mind and one soul their doctrine principles and way of worship but one not rent nor schisme in the body of Christ all divisions differences and contrary judgements and opinions are in the corrupt erroneous body of Anti-christ which is the body of confusion of whose body all are members who deny the true light which Jesus Christ hath enlightened them with which light is the way out of confusion into true and perfect union The Worship of God God is a Spirit John 4. and seeketh such to worship him who will worship him in the Spirit and in the truth saith Christ the Son of God and the eternall Father commands people to hear him This is my beloved Son saith the Father of Spirits hear ye him but all ye that be from the Spirit and out of the light in your imaginations following after carnal Ordinances the doctrine and traditions of man hearkens not to the voice of the Son of God who saith God is a Spirit and will be worshipped in Spirit and in the truth but rejects the Councell of the Son and disobeyes the pure command of God the Father who saith This is my beloved Son hear ye him And all ye Professours upon the face of the whole earth be without God 2 John 9. who erre from and abide not in the Doctrine of Christ the onely Son of the Fathers love How do ye love the Son of God that keeps not his saying but erres from his councels and Commands who saith God is a Spirit and will be worshipped in Spririt and in the truth is not this the true way of worship which Jesus Christ hath prescribed is there any other way agreeable to the will of the Father than the way which his onely Son hath manifested who came not to do his own will but the will of his Father that sent him and this is the will of the Father to have his people to worship him in the Spirit and in the truth for so will God be served and worshipped Therefore all people take notice the true service and worship of God is in the Spirit and in the truth and stands not in carnall ordinances nor extenall shews neither consists in outward bowing Ceremonies and traditions of men which is but the exercise of the body and the exercise of the body profiteth nothing the living eternall God who is pure just and holy seeketh such worshippers to worship him who will worship him in the Spirit and in the truth and all people who be turned to the light of Christ in them with it are guided and in it walk be in the truth the light in truth and in the Spirit and in the truth worshipped the antient Christians in former ages received the light and were called the children of light and as they were moved of the Lord they exhorted one another to walk in the light as children of the light and of the day and as they walked in the light they had fellowship one with another and with the Father and the Son who is light and in whom is no darknesse take notice the fellowship of the Saints is in the light which is but one and all in the light are but one united by the Father of light and spirits and all people that receive and abide in the light walk in the Spirit and in the truth and in the spirit and truth worship God the Father of spirits but all that be from the light be out of the truth out of the spirit in which God is worshipped and worship they

God ye are no self-lovers but self-denyers no followers of the worlds fashions Customs or traditions but of Iesus Christ whose kingdome is not of the world who alone is your Head King Priest and Propher ye who goe under the name of members of the Church of Christ and call one another Brother and Sister who pretend to have Communion and fellowship with one another search your hearts with the light of Christ and it will not deceive you but let you truly see in what your fellowship hath stood and stands and will clearly manifest unto you whether ye be in the spirit of truth and righteousness yea or no if ye be then the fruits before mentioned ye will bring forth abundantly which are the fruits of the spirit and your Communion and fellowship will stand and as ye abide in the life of truth and righteousness your love and unity will grow and increase and your pure lives and holy conversations will make you manifest to be members of the body of Christ but if you see with the light of Christ self-love pride covetousness rashness self-wildness envy and uncharitableness then know that if these things remaine in you and things of the like nature that your Communion and fellowship is in the flesh and not in the spirit formal and not eternall and ye are none of the living stones which the temple of God is built on none of the members of the body of Christ but of Anti-Christ the body of Christ is washed in his blood which cleanseth from all unrighteousness unrighteousness uncleanness and all sin and iniquity is out of the body of Christ the Church in God in the body of Anti-Christ the enemy of the Church of God All ye formalists who are puft up in pride and arrogancy who have gotten the Saints words to talk on in your airy minds and live at ease in vain pleasures and wantonness your words and policy shall stand you in no stead in this the day of the Lord you shall appear in your own likeness your close hypocrisy and your fained humility shall not cover you nor save you from the judgements of the dreadfull God your hearts shall be made naked and bare and your reward you shall have with the wicked and ungodly your shame and confusion ye shall no longer hide ye shall be known whose servants and Children ye are and of what body ye are members and that Anti-christ is your head and not Christ the body of Christ is purged from all secret deceit treachery and close hypocrisy and is filled with righteousness purity and innocency every particular member of the Church in God this pillar and ground of truth knows the work of sanctification by the powerfull operation of the word of truth are thorowly cleansed and sanctified and by the divine power joyned and united unto Christ the head of his Church which is his body he is no member of the Church of Christ what ever he profess that lives after the flesh and knows not the work of the Eternall Spirit of judgement and burning which mortifies the fleshly desires and lusts and purges and cleanses the heart thorowly from sin and iniquity for it is the work of the spirit to purifie and the body purified without spot is the body of Christ the Church of God no unclean person can be united to the body of Christ though thousands of unclean people may come amongst the members of his body yet no defiled thing can be joyned to it for it is pure without spot and members of the Church in God feels enjoys one another in the life of pure love and their unity and fellowship stands not in outward formallity but in the pure life of truth and innocency where they meet and imbrace one another and are refreshed one in another in the love and life which changeth not which all men and women upon the face of the whole earth are out of which be from the light with which Christ hath enlightned them for the light leads into the life of innocency where the eternall unity stands The Church made of living stones THe living stones of which the Church of God is made are the people who have passed from death to life who are dead to sin and alive unto righteousness such as have passed thorow much sorrow and many tribulations and hath seen the travail of their souls and are satisfied with the birth of the immortall seed which is borne and brought forth in them they in whom the righteous seed is raised and the unrighteous nature destroyed which was dead in sin and transgression and made alive unto God and now lives in the light the life of righteousness are the Church of God the House of God the tabernacle of the most high and in them the Lord of Hosts is sanctified who will be sanctified in all that draw nigh unto him and in ye who are raised up in the life and power of truth and righteousness is the living praises for the living praises God the dead cannot praise him the life which through the operation of the Eternal spirit is raised which purgeth from sin and iniquity glorifies God and praises God and these are the living stones on which the Church of God is builded who are borne of the immortall seed whose delight is to walk in the Counsell of the Lord and to serve and obey him which cannot delight in themselves nor in their own works and truly it is not grievous to the living stones the Babes born of God to follow the Counsell of their Father for it is the nature of the seed of God to doe the will of him who hath through the power of his free love and tender mercy begotten it unto himself ye in whom the babe immortal is born and brought forth can seal to the truth of this though to many it may seem to be a strange doctrine who be ignorant of the work of God and knows not the birth of the seed immortall but truly I know that as Iohn saith that the Commandements of the Lord out God are not grievous unto us his Children Ioh. 5.3 who are begotten and borne of him but rather joy us yea it is our joy to serve the Lord our God and to keep his pure Commandements as it was the delight of his faithfull servant David to walk in his Commandements which he loved Ps 119.47 but who be in the transgression in the disobedience loves not God Ver. 143 neither delighteth in his commands but loves themselves their own ways and rejoyceth in their iniquities and delighteth in the things which are perishing which profiteth not but such are dead in sin though alive in the fleshly body and are none of the living stones which the Church of God is made on Iesus Christ head of his Church and the onely Pastour MAny people there are that in words make a profession of Christ and the Scriptures and will say they beleeve in Christ yet will
