seed Christ that hath bruised the head of the Serpent the Divel that causeth war he may say a stronger then he is come that keeps the house and that the strong man has bowed himself and that the keepers of the house has trembled and the earth shaken also and that which is to be shaken shaken and that which cannot be shaken is appeared and Christ is in him and his body is dead because of sin and he is the Temple of God and Christ is in him the everlasting Priest and Christ reigns and the first covenant is ended and the law of works which went upon the man which was under types figures and shadowes to which his soul must be subject but Christ is come the end of the Law to every one that believes the Bishop of the soul Christ the power of God and the everlasting covenant is within again and he is come into a greater state then Adam was in the beginning he is come into the second Adam into that which cannot depart from God and all that be here need not say know the Lord from the greatest to the least but are calling every one his neighbour under the vine and fig-tree according to Zacharias prophesie and the branch is brought forth and stone upon stone and ingravening is taken away Concerning Tythes since the dayes of the Apostles And as for Tythes since the dayes of the Apostles the Pope was the first Author of them for as Christ said false Prophets should come inwardly ravening Wolves having the Sheeps cloathing that is the outside in Mat. 7.24 chapter which John saw was come in his first Epistle in chapter the 2. and fourth which went forth from them into the World and in the revelations all that dwelt upon the earth went after them and Christ who said they should come bid they should not go after them and John who said they were come told the Saints that they needed no man to teach them but as the same anointing did teach them which was in them and as that did teach them they should continue in the Son of God and in the Father So those that Christ said should come to his Disciples the false Prophets and Antichrists John saw was come one of his disciples which went forth from them into the World and in the Revelations all that dwelt upon the earth went after them and when they had got a head in the World they turned against the Saints and killed the Saints that kept the Testimony of Jesus Mat. 7.24 1 Joh. 2.4 Rev. 13.
