false Prophets and Antichrists and deceivers are gone into the world saith These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you but the annointing which ye have received of him abideth in you and yee need not that any man teach you but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lye and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him 1 John 2.26 27. Now all people see who be the false Prophets whether John and they who witnesse the anointing or your teachers which draws from the annointing Christ Jesus saith I am come a light into the world that whosever believeth in me should not abide in darkness This same Christ saith in Mat. 7. Beware of false Prophets which comes to you in sheeps clothing but inwardly they are ravening wolves by their fruits ye shall know them Now try your teachers by this Scripture and see whether they have not been cloathed all this while with the sheeps cloathing the Saints cloathing the words and a profession of Christ But now when the sheep comes who knows his voice and will not follow strangers such as they Now see if they do not appear outwardly to be ravening wolves what they were before inwardly their fruits do make them manifest therefore let that Scripture try them The same Christ Jesus saith unto the disciples who came unto him privately on the Mount of Olives Mat. 24. And Jesus answered and said unto them Take heed that no man deceive you for many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many Now try your teachers and see if they have any thing but a name and a profession of Christ who draws from the light when as Christ Jesus saith I am the light And Christ saith then shall they deliver you up and kill you and ye shall be hated of all Nations for my names sake Now see whether these Priests of yours be hated and killed which drawes from the light or those who witnesse Christ Jesus who is the light which saith many false Prophets shall arise which shall deceive many And try if they be not them who saith loe here is Christ and loe there but Christs command is believe them not for there shall arise false Christs and false Prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders in so much that if it were possible they would deceive the very Elect. But the Elect who dwells in the light which comes from Christ Jesus they cannot deceive in it they are seen and known and tryed and made manifest to be deceivers to be the false Prophets and Antichrists and with the light which comes from Jesus they are condemned with the world and turned from withall the children of light Therefore poor people who are out of the light you they do deceive But those whose minds are turned to the light and abides in the light they cannot deceive And Christ Jesus saith woe unto you when all men speak well of you for so did their fathers of the false Prophets Luke 6.26 Now try them by Scripture and see whether this woe be not upon them and whether they be not of the false Prophet And Peter saith 2 Pet. 2. But there were false Prophets among the people Now try them by that Chapter and see whether these be not the false Prophets which denies the light which comes from Christ Jesus their Lord that bought them and through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandize of you Let that in your consciences now try and search them by the Scripture The same Apostle in the foregoing Chapter saith ye have also a more sure word of prophecy whereunto ye do well that ye take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawn and the day-star arise in your hearts knowing this first that no prophesie of the Scripture is of any private interpretation for the prophesie came not in the old time by the will of man but holy men of God spoke is they were moved by the holy Ghost Now see whether Peter and those that draws to the light be the false Prophets or them that denies the light and hates it Read the 2 Tim. and the 3. Chap. Try them by that Scripture and see if they be not found them that the Apostle speaks of there having a form of godlinesse but denying the power and he saith from such turn away And see if they be not of this sort which creeps into houses and calls them Churches when as the Apostle saith the Church is in God and leads captive silly women laden with divers lusts ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth Now see and try your teachers by these Scriptures and see what ye have learned of them all your dayes that ye have followed them what you can witnesse of God or of Christ made manifest in you nay that in your consciences will confesse that ye do not know this outward Scripture which makes them manifest to be the false Prophets and deceivers who draws from the light which gave forth the Scriptures Even in the knowledge of the outward letter you are blinded by them Read the 2 Pet. 3.3 see if you and they be not found those scoffers walking after your own lusts saying where is the promise of his coming and read Jude and try them and see if they be not found there under the woe that he speaks of whether they run not greedily after gifts and rewards and so perish in the gain-saying of Corah And let that in your consciences which is of God which respects no mans person read and examine those Scriptures and try them and see whether they be not erred from the light and so draws others from the light which is and ever was the Saints teacher and ever shall be from which all the holy men of God ever spoke as they were moved by the holy Ghost and from which light all the Scriptures were given forth which these deceivers takes into their mouths and draws people from the light that gave forth the Scriptures and so betrayes their souls Therefore all people to the light in your consciences which Christ Iesus hath enlightened you withall turn within keep to it and go not forth nor look not outward and it will let you see the deceivers and betrayers of your souls And if you be faithfull and obedient to it it will let you see your Saviour False Prophets is in the world and Antichrists is in the world and the deceivers is of the world and those that do not confesse Christ come in the flesh is of the world But those that dwells in the light which Christ Jesus hath enlightened them withal this leads out of the world out of the worlds wayes fashions and customs and this makes a separation from the world and this leads up to God And this light is the condemnation of the world and the condemnation of
