of God c. as that which they called their Creed so then they was baptized with water and called Christians whenas before they were called Heathen and did not believe that that was the Christ that suffered at Ierusalem but now called Christians and believers though they were nothing changed from the heathenish nature and this was at the first comming in of the profession of Christian faith and Religion into England and those had the writings of the Prophets and Apostles which is called Scripture and so was the keepers of the letters and that they took to be their rule to walk by as they do now but knew not that which gave it forth to lead them unto the life but had the Letter and the form but could not walk according to it being led and guided by a contrary Principle to that which gave it forth so they gave their own meanings and imaginations upon it so then all that were called Christs were of the Christian Church and faith and so were counted believers then they sprinkled the children of those believers and by that were they entertained into their Church and faith and thus came up Infants Baptisme for which there is no Scripture nor example either from Christ or his Apostles and yet they cal this an ordinance of Christ thus they begin to ad their own traditions imaginations all are by nature the children of wrath and a littlewater on their faces doth not change them from that Eph. 23.14 but they grew up in al manner of unrighteousnes as drunkenness swearing lying covetousness adultery Idolatry pride wantonness envy murder deceit fraud and maliciousness the which was cast out of the Apostles Church and they was washed from such things and sanctified and regenerate into the new-Covenant reckoned such to be without as now Englands Church is upheld by then they had their two Sacraments as they call them for which word they have no Scripture and Infants baptisme is one and that which they call the Supper of the Lord is another and they had the carnall bread and wine as the Priests and people hath now and they give it to naturall carnall men and women and the Apostle saith he that eats and drinks this unworthily eats and drinks his own damnation not discerning the Lords body And the naturall man receives not the things of God because they are spiritually discerned 1 Cor. 2.14 1 Cor. 10.16 and the bread which the Saints breaks is the Communion of the Body of Christ and the cup which the Saints drinks is the Communion of the Blood of Christ and here is the Communion of the Saints and the Supper of the Lord to which he that hath not on a wedding Garment is not admitted but Englands Priests knows not what a wedding garment is and thus they planted their church in England and other places and then Bishops was set up and Archbishops for which name there is no Scripture and Deans and Priests and Deacons and Popes and one ruled over another and the Popes bore rule like Kings but they found never a Pope in the Scripture and the Bishops they bore rule by their means the Priests preached for hire and the people loved to have it so thus Antichrist set up his Kingdom under a profession of the Gospel then tythes came up for to maintain the Priests contrary to any rule in the Gospel then Universities was set up for to make ministers or priests as they call them for the which they have no rule in the Scripture thus they was set up by the wil and tradition of man as they are stil upheld as the false Prophets alwaies was then they had their long robes like the Pharises but not like the Apostles for from them they have no such example then they set up these Idols Temples which the blind and ignorant now call Churches or the houses of God for the which they have no example from the Gospell ministers for God never commanded these to be built and though Solomon built him one Temple yet nevertheless when the substance came Matthew 24. he prophesied of its downfall and destruction and Stephen witnessed against it was stoned to death by those that upheld it Paul witnessed against it was persecuted by those that upheld it as many of the servants messengers of God are now persecuted in these Idols Temples haled out and abused stoned and imprisoned by those that uphold them now though these was never ordained by God and then they got up into their Pulpets the chiefest places in the Synagogues as they are now and called of men Master and Doctor and had the uppermost Rooms at feasts greetings in the markets as it is now and then they stole the Apostles words as the false prophets stole the word from their neighbour so did and doth those and put them into Chapter verse an● took a verse and studied from it a divination of their own brain and added to it but not from the mouth of the Lord and so doth the Priests now but they run like the false Prophets the Lord never sent them therefore they profit not the people at all and then with feigned or studied words through covetousness they made merchandise of the people as they do now and so made a prey upon the sheep as they do now began to seek about for great livings and fat benefices and left a lesser and ran to a bigger so there was their beloved which they seeked for as the false Prophets which seeked for the fleece and regarded not the flock but fed with the fat cloathed with the wool and made a prey upon the sheep as they do now and cryed peace to those that put into their mouthes and called them beloved brethren and Christians but they that did not put into their mouthes they prepared war against them and brought a Law upon them and haled them before Courts Benches as they do now thus they sought for their gain from their quarter and ruled them with rigour so that until within these late years the Priests raigned like Lords over the people contrary to the practise of the ministers of the Gospel who made themselves servants to all 1 Cor. 9.19 and though they did ordain Bishops they did not ordain that they should live of others Estates or takes the Tenthes of the increase of others labours and live like Lords over the people but said a Bishop must be blameless the Husband of one Wife vigilent sober and of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to Teach not given to Wine no striker not greedy of filthy Lucre but patient not a Brawler not Covetous 1 Tim. 3. one that ruleth well his owne House not a novis least being lifted up with pride he fall into the Condemnation of the Divell now try your Priests and Teachers by this rule but they stood not

baptised into his death thou blind hypocrite was this water baptisme they that are in Christ are new Creatures and so are not those who are baptised with water but they are in the same nature as they was before and thou mayest read in Corinthians the twelf what baptisme that was he spoke of there for saith he by one Spirit are we all baptised into one body c. and they that are thus baptised are baptised into Christ but as I said before it is not the washing away the filth of the flesh and here is thy folly and ignorance laid open who art so blind as to bring this Scripture to prove water baptisme to be an ordinance of Christ and again it saith they was baptised into his death and in the same Chapter it saith they that are dead are freed from sin and this thou denyed that any could be set free from sin so long as they are upon the earth thus thou denies Jesus Christ his ordinances who came to take away sin to clense his people from thier sin but praised be the Lord we do witness a freedom from sin by Jesus Christ who is the Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of the world to redem his peope from their sin and to redeme unto himself a pure Church not having spot or wrinckle or any such thing and saith he if the Son have set you free then are you free indeed and here is the liberty of the Sons of God Iohn 8.36 1 Iohn 3.1 and now are we the Sons of God and now they that witness this and confess it such blind hypocrites as thou calls them blasphemers and so denies Jesus Christ come in the flesh and so are of Antichrist and one while thou affirmed in thy Pulpet that they that pressed and led people into holiness was no deceivers but they that led them into sin and evil was deceivers and then afterward told the people they never could be free from sin so long as they are upon the earth and thus thou would settle them upon the lees and deny Jesus Christ come in the flesh who comes to clense from all sin and thus art thou judged out of thy own mouth for a deceiver And thou also brought this Scripture to maintain water baptism where the Apostle said for as many of you as have been baptised unto Christ Gal. 3.27 have put on Christ now let any whose understandings are enlightned by the Light of Christ read this Scripture and see if this mention water baptisme and if any by water baptisme do now put on Christ and by the Light judge thee to be a Lyar and a deceiver and a perverter of the Scripture to thy own destruction and all who believes thee except you repent and then thou run on to prove the Letter to be the word by way of despising those that say that God is the word and that there is no written word when the Letter saith it self that the word is God and then thou brought this Scripture to prove the Letter to be the Word in 1 Pet. 1.23 Being born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible by the word of God which liveth and abideth for ever for all flesh is grass and the glory of man as the flower of grass the grass withereth and the flower fadeth away but the word of the Lord endureth for ever and this is the word which by the Gospel is preached unto you here thou dark sot thy blindness and ignorance is more laid open is the letter immortal or any written word immortal or liveth or abideth for ever or is any born again but of God and is not he that same immortal word which the Scripture often bears testimony unto and also in this place Iohn 15.3 and Christ the Lamb of God is the everlasting Gospel who preached the word and his Apostles was made clean through the word which he preached unto them but this was not the dead Letter in the which thou would find life Iohn 5.39 and so art seeking the living amongst the dead like the blinde Pharise who thought in the Scripture to find eternall life but would not come unto Christ that they might have life and here thou art in their steps though thou made light of this Scripture and said that some added yee to it and said ye search the Scripture for in them ye think to have eternall life they are they that testifie of me but ye wil not come unto me that ye might have life this was spoken by Christ unto the Pharises who could not believe that he was the Christ but thought in the Scriptures to find eternal life but would not come unto Christ that they might have life and therefore he bid them search the Scripture for there the Prophets had prophesied of him and thereby they might know that he was the Christ if they had searched with the single eye therefore without yee I say unto thee search the Scriptures for they are they that beare testimony of Christ to be the word and all that do search the Scripture with a single eye wil find Christ to be the word and wil believe it Iohn 1.24 and not be so blind as to put the Letter for the Word as thou dost who brought another Scripture with thy dark mind where the Apostle saith ye have a more sure word of Prophesie the which ye do wel to take heed unto as to a light shining in a dark place until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts 2 Pet. 1.19 Isa 5.20 Here thou stil the more manifests thy blindness who puts darkness for light and light for darkness and so art under the wo from the Lord who puts the Letter for the light how doth the Letter shine and what dark place doth it shine in as a Light here the ignorant may see thy folly and thus thou art a Stranger to the Light of Christ which dwelt in the Children of God and the word is nigh in the heart and in the mouth Rom. to which thou shewest thy self a Stranger who drawes peoples mindes from this word in their hearts to the Letter without putting that for the word and so art a blinde guide and a deceiver who cryes Lo here without in the Letter when the Apostle saith Go not forth the Word is nigh in the heart And thus thou opposes the Apostle and draws from his Doctrine and brings another Doctrine and so art not to be received 2 Iohn 10. but held as accursed as thou art by the children of Light and sometimes thou called the Letter the Word and sometimes a Story and here was thy confusion and then thou run on with thy fauning dissembling Speeches making a shew oftentimes to the people of speaking more of a matter but for wearing their patience Oh blush and be ashamed of thy Doctrine now thou makes it appear what filthy stuff it

Mat. 5.34 but out of the Doctrine of Chirst and so hath not God so I told him of his swearing and he would have shufled it off but he could not 2 Iobn 9. and I told him He that seems to be Religious and brideleth not his tongue his Religion is vain and therefore he might own his Religoin to be vain who could not bridle his tongue and then in his wil he shufled off and said he would not confess his sin to me Iam. 1.26 for I could not forgive sin in scorn he spoke then I said wo unto him that hides his sin and covers his iniquity but he shufled away in much confusion of face as they wil all appear as by the Light they come to be searched and tryed their coverings wil be found too narrow and their nakedness will appear to their great shame and confusion of face and they will be made to bow to the truth and lay down their Crowns at the feet of Iesus for he is risen and reigns in his Saints to whom the Nations must bow and every tongue confess to their condemnation who do oppose him but here now by the single eye you may see the emptiness of these forms and what a blind hypocrisie this is of them to wash the outside but leaves the inside full of uncleanness and so the inside defiles the outside A Copy of the Queries which was sent to the Baptised people in Fenstanton with some more added for them or any whom they do concern to answer Severall queries to you which be called Baptists by your Teachers to be answered Querie 1.

and this is the mighty King and Redeemer of Israel out of captivity into a Land of peace and love and unity where the ransomed ones do dwell with their Captain and their King who doth deliver his owne Lambs out of the mouths of raging wolfs and dogs Praises Praises everlasting eternal Mat. 01.16 to the everlasting God of Life for ever and thus we are sent as sheep amongst wolves but in the power of the Almighty we are sent forth and the arm of the Almighty is with us and doth deliver us from being a prey to the Lyons whelps which would us devoure and blessed are all they that receive our testimony it is Peace and salvation to their souls Now where is the VVise 1 Cor. 1. where is the Scribe where is the Disputer of this world Hath not God made foolish the wisdome of this world and hath chosen the foolish things to confound the wise and the weak to confound those that are mighty that no Flesh should glory in his presence Unto this Doughty I sent several of these queries which are before mentioned but I received no answer Another Meeting betwixt the people called Baptists and the people called QVAKERS UPpon the fourth day of the third month called May wee was several of the Lords people met together in a friends Orchard at Litleport in the Isle of Elie and there came in three of the Tachers of the baptised people the chief of them was one Iohn Ray of Wickombruck in Suffolk and he came as he said with a message and that was to excommunicate two persons that was there namely Samuel Cater and Ezekiel Cater who had formerly been Elders amongst them out of their society whenas they was come out of their society before and owned the substance and denied their form and shadow without their casting out but thou Ray to uphold thy form did there disorderly run into words in thy own wil and then went away and would not stay to prove what thou had done but said thou was to be at the Steeplehouse shortly so as I was moved I spoke unto the people there present and after a while when I had spoken what was given me of the Lord to speak I passed into the town and there I hearing how the Baptist was railing on the truth in the Steeple-house I passed to the Steeplehouse with some friends that had formerly society been of their society and when I came there I found thee Iohn Ray set up in the seat of the Pharisee the chiefest place in the ASSEMBLY speaking a Divination of thy owne braine and not from the mouth of the Lord as thou confessed openly amongst the people that none in these dayes had any open vision or heard God speak immediately and here thou wast an open lyar amongst the people but here thou barred thy self from the same Spirit that spoke in the Prophets and Apostles and therefore art a deceiver for he that hath not the Spirit of Christ is none of his and so thou measured others by thy self but I and hundreds more of the Children of light Rom. 8.9 do witness thee to be a lyar and deceiver in these dayes who comes not in the name of the Lord but in thy own name therefore the world receives thee but here out of thy own mouth thou art judged and condemned out of the new Covenant for there God himself is teacher and thou that never heard him speak immediatly Iohn 6.45 and yet comes to preach his word thou art a stranger unto God and a blind guide a deceiver and a false Prophet who runs and the Lord never sent thee therefore thou profits not the people at all but art a thiefe and steals the words of the Prophets Christ and his Apostles and adds a divination of thy own Braine and so feeds the people with notions and ayry knowledg Mat. 23.14 and casting the Childrens bread unto dogs but the greater is thy condemnation who for a pretence makes longs prayers and wrests and perverts the Scripture to thy own destruction but think not that thou shalt be heard for thy much babling for the hand of the Lord is against thee And there in the seat of the Pharisee thou Ray had taken a text of the Apostles words and added thy own meanings uses applications and divinations thou merchant of Babylon and diviner where hast thou any such example from the Prophets or Apostles 2 Pet. 1.21 Acts 2.4 Acts 4.8 they spoke from the mouth of the Lord and as they was moved by the Holy Ghost and as the Spirit gave them utterance and they spoke with power and authority and not as the Scribes but thou dost speak in the wisdome of the World like as the Scribes and Pharises and Priests amongst whom I number thee and here thou art shut from the Apostles and their practise with thy carnall meanings uses applications and divinations and this was thy text which thou had stoln out of the Apostles writings which was writ unto the church and thou applyed them unto the world and said Text. 2 Pet. 2.0 21 22. For if after they have escaped the polutions of the world through the knowledg of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ they are again intangled therein and overcome the latter end is worse than the beginning c. and from this thou raised thy Uses Applications and dark Meanings whenas neither thou nor any there which belonged to thee or owned thee that had ever escaped the polutions of the world or ever had come to the knowledg of Christ but are stil in darkness and blindness in their sins and corruptions in covetousness in pride and wantonness in lightness in wrath and in anger and maliciousness in back-biting in slandering and false accusing in railing and cursed speaking in lying and blaspheming only it may be have passed through the water 1 Pet. 3.21 but it is not the washing away the filth of the flesh but here both thou and they are stil and these are the polutions of the world but they that know and witness Iesus Christ come in the flesh witness the washing away those sins and polutions and thus thou wrests and perverts the Scripture to thy own destruction and then thou went on dreaming and flattering and daubing up the people with untempred morter saying the Lord saith when he never spoke to thee and then thou run on rayling behind the back of people that was not there as thou often said thou spoke it of none there and thus thou uttered forth thy folly and it is like thou might be-lie those whom thou spoke of for I heard the utter forth many open lies and then thou run on to thy water baptisme to maintain it an Ordinance of Christ and thou brought this Scripture in the six of Romans which the Apostle spoke to the Church Rom. 6.3 2 Cor. 5.17 Know you not that so many of you as were baptised into Iesus Christ was

is that art afraid it should weary peoples patience to hear it if it was of God it would not be wearisome to any thing of God to hear it but it was not of God therefore I am sure it was wearisome and burdensome to the Spirit of God and here thou art shut out with thy frothy Stuff and vain Complements to be a deceiver and then thou said If you please I will speak more and thus thou markes out thy selfe for a Man-pleaser and the Apostle said If I yet pleased men I should not be a servant of Christ Now read thy self where thou art Gal. 1.10 who art yet a man-pleaser who comes with such inticing words of mens wisdome so that the Preaching of the CROSS to thee is foolishness and the Prophets who had the Spirit of the LORD and the Word of the LORD they spoke whether they would heare or forbeare and here thou art shut out both from the Spirit of GOD and the Word of GOD which is one who art a Man-pleaser and if not a Servant of CHRIST then a Servant of the DEVILL and so I marke thee out that all may know thee and no longer bee deceived by thee with the shadow instead of the substance with thy inticing words of Mens wisdome and thou told the people thou spoke to the Reason of Man when as all men in the fall their Reason is corrupted and the naturall Man receives not the things of GOD 1. Cor. 2.14 Ier. 10.14 for Man by nature is worse then a Beast and there art thou who art preaching to the corrupt Reason of MAN in the FALL to judge of thy corrupt stuffe for I know there was none there that owned thee but such like but the Message of PAVL was to turne Peoples mindes from Darkness to Light but thou strive to draw Peoples mindes from the Light within Act. 26.18 to the Dead LETTER without them telling them that was the LIGHT and that was the WORD and so thou bewitched them with thy Lying Divinations and bid them search that and read often that and cleave unto that but I say they that read that and not by the light within them read a parable and it is unto them as a book sealed though they may by their carnall wisdome add their own meanings but that must be shut out of the Scripture 2 Pet. 3.16 for such are unlearned and unfruitfull in the word and so wrests the Scripture to their own destruction but by this know that I go not about to draw men from reading the Scripture so that they read with this single eye the Light which gave it forth so shal they that read understand but to thee this is a mystery and therefore thou went about to deny Christ in man and God in man by way of derision to those that witnessed forth Christ within God within thou saith that he meant he was in them by his words and thou brought this Scripture if you abide in me and my words abide in you ye shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you in this place thou Serpent he meant as he spoke but Paul witnessed Christ within and said They that could not witness Christ within was Reprobates and so art thou who denies Christ come in the flesh and Paul preached Christ within the hope of glory Gal. 2.20 2 Cor. 13 5. Col. 1.26 27. the ministry which had been hid and so it seems is stil from thee therefore to thee this preaching is foolishness and as fancies and whimsies but unto us that are saved Christ the power of God and the wisdome of God by which thy folly and thy ignorance of Christ is here made manifest and that thou never escaped the polutions of the world by the knowledg of Christ who denies him as he is known to all who have escaped the polutions of the world by the knowledg of him and they that thus know him not 2 Coo. 13.5 are in the reprobation here art thou a Minister of Antichrist who denies Christ come in the flesh and then thou went on with thy deluding spirit pressing the wicked to pray yea there was many there present of the people of the world besides thy own company whom both thou and thy company counts as heathen yet thou pressed them much to pray and to take unto them words and pray whenas the Scripture saith The prayers of the wicked are abominable and thus thou did that which was abominable in the sight of God Pro. 15.8 in praying thy self and teaching the wicked to pray and to steal other mens words and pray for neither you nor they have any words but what you steal out of the Scripture for thou hast shut thy self from that by which the Apostles preached therefore thou thus runs into confusion and thou told the people of deceivers and nominated them to be such as denyed Baptisme and Ordinances of Christ and the Scripture and the Resurrection of the Dead and eternall judgment so when thou had done thy divination and thy formal prayer I stood up and claimed the order of the true Church that all might speak one by one and if any thing was revealed to him that stands by let the first hold his peace and then like Cain thy countenance fel thou being struck with guilt in thy conscience 2 Cor. 14.30 31 and fear surprised the heart of the hypocrite and thou was shufling away but I bid the stand for said I thou art a deceiver as I shall prove the one before all the people therefore stand to maintain what thou hast said but said I unto the people the Prophets and Apostles and the holy men of God who spoke forth the Scriptures they spoke from the infallible spirit of God as they was acted guided and moved thereby but all who comes with their words and pretending to preach and not from the same infallible Spirit such are deceivers of which this man is one who stands here in the seat of the Pharisee and he being smitten with guilt fetled to be gone and several would have stopped him but he said he would be gone unlese they kept him in by violence and I said unto the people know this that these things wherewith he marks out deceivers I own so that I am none of those for the Scripture I own and the true Baptism of Christ I own the Resurrection from the Dead I own and eternal judgment upon the wicked I own so that I am none of those which he marked out but this man is a deceiver and so I shall prove him if he will stay but thou Ray was ashamed of thy Ministry and durst not stand to what thou had said but plainly like a hireling fled from thy stage and left thy Flock like a cowardly Serpent I never knew Baptist so routed out of a Pulpet but the Independants joyned with him and the Priests rude multitude stood up for him and several
