ye rejected him saying We will not have this man to reigne over us for we have no King but Caesar is now dispers d among the Nations and shall be only a Remnant For as ye w●re a curse among the Heathen saith the Lord O House of Israel and House of Judah f so will I save you and ye shall be a Blessing For in those days and at that time the children of Israel and the children of Judah shall g come together They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward saying Come Let us joyn our selves to the Lord in a Perpetual Covenant that shall never be forgotten Then shall the Tribes of Israel mourn when they see him whom their fore-fathers rejected and shall h declare my glory among the Gentiles and they the Gentiles shall bring your brethren unto the Lord out of all Nations in their Ships and upon Horses and in Litters and in Chariots and upon Mules and upon swift Beasts or Dromedaries to my holy Mountain Jerusalem and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem saith the Lord For as the New Heaven and the New Earth which I will make shall remain before me so shall your Seed and your Name remain saith the Lord And the Gentiles i shall come to thy Light and Kings to the brightness of thy rising When I have raised you out of your graves then thy sons shall come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side And the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee Then will I return k to the people a pure language They shall not see Evil any more for Evil the Divel shall not dwell with thee Christ in glory saith David And because salvation is far from the wicked for they search not Gods statutes yea they are hid from their eyes neither can they know them because they are * spiritually discerned Therefore ye that truly fear the Lord God of salvation eternal life light and glory Christ Jesus Search the Scriptures l for in them ye look to have Eternal Life and they testifie of me saith our Saviour For the Scriptures only comparing spiritual things with spiritual things are able to make you wise u●to salvation Knowing this that the Scriptures are not of any private m Interpretation For we have this Treasure of Gods revealed Will by his Word in Earthen Vessels that the Excellency of the Power may be of God and not of us for none knoweth the things of God but the Spirit of God So that it plainly appeareth that all mens Interpretations of what quality or degree of Learning soever or paraphrasing upon the Scriptures is only a private Interpretation and so is uncertain for there is no man that can truly say that he is immediately sent from God as the Prophets were and hath an infallible unerring spirit and that his interpretations of the Scripture and his paraphrasing on them are most infallibly true Therefore Wo to them that are wise in their own Eys and prudent in their own sight Wo to them that put Darkness for Light and Light for Darkness That broach the Divels Doctrine of lyes for a Truth and force all men to obey and receive them as the Truth For no man can serve two masters God and Mammon Christ and the Divel But the learned Pharisees who were covetous derided Christ the Wisdom of God saying Is not this the Carpenter the Son of Joseph And Jesus said unto them Ye are they which justifie your selves before men to have much Learning Wisdom and Piety but God knoweth your hearts for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men but within ye are full of Hypocrisie and Iniquity and devour Widdows houses yet for a shew of feigned Piety make long Prayers like most of our covetous Priests Therefore beware of the Scribes which walk in long robes or garments and make merchandise of the VVord of Truth by Sermons of all Prises Sacrament Christnings Churchings of Women an burying of the Dead at several Rates Easter-book New-yeers-gifts and Excommunications with several other pecuniary offences at several Rates These several Truths with the following matter contained in this Treatise I recommend to thy conscientious and diligent perusal without a prejudicate opinion beseeching thee as thou expectest eternal life in glory in the land of the living to search the Scriptures and try the truth of this following matter even as the noble Bereans did The happy issue whereof I refer to the blessing of the Almighty God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who only in and by his Son works in us both the VVill and the Deed Desiring thee also to consider that the Testimonies of the Lord are true and wonderful giving light and understanding to the simple For by thy Word thou O Lord hast made me wiser then my Teachers saith David With which saying I also conclude committing thee to the Direction and Tuition of the Almighty Goodness of the great God and Father of all Spirits the Excellent Glory Remaining thine in the Lord Jesus the God of Salvation to my Power James Frese Being still in Bonds which fain I would not be The man I was I wish I nere had bin Thy hands affliction hath drawn me home to thee Lord grant thy work may more on me be seen That Asia's seed in Europ's Soyl may spring And bear a Pleasing fruit to Israels King And Englands Sons and Daughters also may Bring thy People in that most happy day To Sions hill and there Present to thee Themselves with Iudah a most Pleasing Tree Where they shall see thee and thy Saints be known To them their friends and children which they own Lo God hath chosen the foolish and weak things of the world to consound the wise and mighty And having hid these things from the wise and prudent hath revealed them unto Babes And thus you see it plainly doth appear To be a truth most evident and clear That some Proficients are in natures schools And yet in Christ's
