Wrote at Eltham O Beloved-brethren that eternal word or root it is the Gospel it is not the named word but it is the power Gospel in the soul which is not Christ in name but word God in power overturning the name and planting the thing for the true Gospel hath not nor cannot bear any name that is cypnered out in letters for it is the new creation within the soul and a spiritual work in truth of term cannot be named for a Spirit is spiritual what is the meaning of spiritual it is in import in the word as if it should be said thou Spirit art all and to all there is not nor can be no proper name at all Brethen my insert is beyond Apostolical for it is Evangelical and if you have the Evangelical eye then you see it mystery the litteral eye sees me not I am life if ye see meye are one with me nay we and as many as do see are all but one in the union for through Christ that is o-obedience we are made one with the Father in the celestial center But beloved now I come to cut your state that you are so fast stated in and upon and I shall show your deceiveable state stated and held and maintained and thus I begin I will give your state the precedencie for it was a name and that name was the written Bible and New Testament their names are called and were called so before you and I were borne that is they were called the word of God the glorious Gospel of Christ the holy Scriptures Non sabbah litteras sed sperituus devinus The English is The written letters are not holy but the intendant Spirit it is holy and holy cannot stand on Paper and Ink but in the souls of men in that figure or Image being that man he is the fairest flower in Gods field within this terrestrial Orb and as wholly stands in the soul of man which is but obedience from man unto God so wholly stands the center-bearer in the whole creation Beloved you that are taught in the Spirit know what is spoken for unto you is that teaching given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom Now brethren know that your composure of letters and names in the Bible and the New Testament cannot give true knowledge in this Mystery of the Kingdom for the mystery in the Kingdome it is spiritual and no name can define a spiritual thing for this is the reason the one is Truth the other is a Lye thus the spirit it is Truth Truth it hath a center nay it is the center of all things and all founds or names are but compositions semblances and semblances are no substances and no substance no center therefore nothing a meer Idea a meer Lye a Fancie a Shadow a Vanity Now you will say that I deny the Scriptures now I joyne issue with you your selves mine enemies you shall be judge first it is true I do deny the Scriptures as you hold them forth nor you understand not what you do hold forth that is it I affirm for the insert or Scripture in many places is true according to inserting or writing but it is made a lye by your practising This is the Scripture I affirme to be true Scriture First I hold the Scripture to be true if truely wrote you understand me not I pass now I tell you you understand not the Scripture but you make the Scripture false for the Scripture is true they admonish all to love one another then wherefore doest thou see thy brother in need and wherefore dost thou wrong thy neighbour to set up thy self The reason is this I pray you minde thy self is thy Scripture and thou hast denied the literal word of God that thou callest the word of God and the Gospel but thou deniest Christ the Lord and his commands are cast behind thy back and thou art both Scripture Law and Word and Gospel thy self and so indeed thou art the high Antichrist that is Christ the Law the Word the Gospel the Scripture all these thou art enemy unto nay a destroyer of them all Brethren out of love I intreat you out of knowledge I do admonish you be ye warned of this main condemnation that floweth forth upon you by your owne knowledge and forwardness I beseech you in the bowels of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour remember the words of my Brother Peter the Apostle they were these in the daies of our ignorance God winked at but now that all should come to the knowledge of of the truth Now Brethren I beseech you minde what you curious and eloqu●nt and quick witted ones have gotten by your affirming that the Scriptures as the Bible and the New Testament is the word of God now you know that the word of God abideth for ever and it is a word of power and discerning between the joynts and the marrow nay betwixt the soul and the spirit I beseech you minde It discerneth betwixt the Apostolical doctrine and the Evangelical declarative whereof and from that root I affirm that is the Evangelical expression it is beyond the Apostolical Insertation or writing but to come to the word of God I affirm it to be himself for if it be true word it is true God for God and his word are not two but one ●ntire onely one now know Gods word is of that power nay it is that power that over-turneth all things into it self Now minde I beseech you the Scripture that you say is the word of God you are a greater and stronger word then it for it calls for obedience you will not obey therefore by consequence you are a greater God then
but to look into the center I mind not what is said but the true truth is in truth the thing is and now blessed be the Lord my God he doth increase my understanding Now mind I come to shew not what is written but what in your hearts you hold a zeal for the same I ever did since God gave me light and it is this the Scriptures and the Gospel for the defence of them through the strength of my God I would lay down my life for them Now I will show you that in terme that I may say that I and you at this day are so zealous for that is the Scriptures so called now the God that you ignorantly worship him show I unto you and I beseech you take special notice even you that are but notional and you likewise My brethren that are zealous but not according to knowledge as through Gods goodness I shall make appear Non est nome sanktus in re sabat akzi a malet oli in rem medad alphi sele arbat al. The English from this Hebrew state and yet both Latine Greek and Arraback and Caldee all these tongues to make a true harmonious assent in consent But lest you learned Rabbies should contend with me that am unlearned onely English I have and that no man worse but I will give you one hint of knowledge and learning denoted unto me by the Spirit and what spirit let the declaratives of it self speak and the obedience and actions of my life speak forme and so all judge Look you be clean within and then you judge righteous judgement But now Scholars know that the major includes the minor so the major in that state is Hebrew wrote in Kof ק that is the second strength in writing Now let me tell you Schollars I will but state three Hebrew words and I will make their majority carry the state of five lines of Latine stated but they will not carry so much in no tongue for know the nearer you come to the center which is the Hebrew the more you disearet the weak connexions dependancies For know that the Arraback and Caldee and Syrriack and the Muscovite in their original center are as it were in the edge or verdge of the Hebrew Now you will say that the majority of them languages is Hebrew it is granted but write you in any one of them languages it is not Hebrew So though the Hebrew her Regencie be over the languages yet her predominacy may be eclipsed by another tongue when she is but an adjunct in the state or sitation for know that in all tongues and languages there is an union consent and assent in a composed composure in their coherents and the truth flowes from the head to the foot and ascends from the foot to the head as the rivers from the sea to the sea their centred center But this knowledge in truth of knowledge by man is not to be understood and none but the Spirit of God whose conveyances is in and through all tongues into one language that is the scriptum est Now brethren your long patience is your expectation of what is Scripture I beseech you mind I cannot come when I would to open the state or citation out of the tongues though my desire is as great as yours can be ye though I am weary I cannot leave writing the mysterie that lies in the Hebrew state last cited when I thought to have open'd it when I named the english I could never come at it till now non est nome sanklus in re Now I beseech you mind the english of the forecited state The name is not the holy thing now I read negatively The holy thing denyes any name in truth of thing but is and is in truth hath no name Now mind since the world was there was not a greater denotation by the spirit of the truth in God than this Now there is another citation in the same Hebrew state which is this The true Scripture 't is the divine life of God in the soul and it is written by and with Digitus Dei the spirit finger or finger spirit by God O that destroying of it wounds and destroyes sense for according to our Translation digitus Dei the finger of God that word of undoes the state Now I shall show you how your zeal is evacuated and how you come misled concerning that you call the Bible and new Testament calling them the Scriptures or the word of God the Word was made flesh and in that flesh there is a Table and a Book that even that God doth write upon that is Holmess to himself But to come to speak to you brethren even ye blind persecuting Zealots truly I love you all and pity all for ye cannot do right till light be come Brethren I demand of you from whence zeal proceeds if it be true zeal in light it proceeds from that scriptum est that is from that inward and inmost Vail unvailed though you know it not Now know but this that nothing without can give life to your zeal within but it lives in it self and from that small appearance within to the notional man he as he is sees outwardly and he catches at the glimmerings within and through that false conception he states all without upon mans writing or the Signam manum or sign of a mans hand of mans spellings so man not drawn into obedience to the spirit of God within he builds upon outward words and names in books without Now I beseech you mind did any of you receive remission of sins by mans preaching you and I my self did think so thus such a man is a man of God and he is able to turn any man now how was that because Gods power within thee did begin to unfetter thee for it was Gods spirit did begin inwardly to illustrate and thy resurrection and walking was from that light within and thou accounted that it was done by man or hearing or reading here thou wast a greater Idolater then before now here thou sacrificest to man and in this act thou makest and accountest him thy God converter or the Bible or Testament were thy Idols when indeed and in truth it was onely the alone descent of Gods mercy conveyed by his spiritual light arising in thy soul that caused thy awaking from the corruptible estate of death and darkness Now mind I desire to know of you my brethren whether the knowledge doth lye outwardly in objects declared or in the inmost or inward understanding in the spiritus that is in the spirit in that word θ in that import it is a Greek word and it doth denote God his Spirit that is θ spirit and you read it the spirit not understanding the import of the word Now if that be granted that cannot be denyed if duly considered that the understanding lives and lies within the inmost spirit why doth not man act alwaies right and in truth of zeal I answer
I accounted gain was loss unto me for the excellent knowledge in Christ Jesus our Lord. Beloved brethren I come not in the eloquentness of mans even weaved connexions that is with mans curious composers for the Apostles and Prophets they took not a verse to study a Sermon but wrote the Texts that you study from Now what they wrote was true what you study is a ly the smooth composure in their writing is not found a composure composed as yours is theirs was life to them yours being studied is death to you for know it is but name and not the substance thing which is Christ the Lord. Now beloved I come to the main Doctrine of all that is in the new Testament that is Ackki Cristus in sabat re el vau salvat ori in se The English is this Christ is the strong Saviour to the trusting soul in knowledge for without knowledge Christ no Saviour and that knowledge must be Christ in the soul it is his own teaching that brings us to life in himself But now I come to shew you Christ the Saviour whom multitudes of knowing people as they think they know him not Id est non corpus sed alvah a Deo in spiritus It is not the body that is Christ but 't is the high spirit in the body now the mystery doth begin I intreat you mind for I must treat Allegorically as well as litterally Non sanguise selma a maxi pele ethrati sele meos in saba almat rogel perene aks elle nene sabat not the composure of the Elements is the body of Christ but mind the word spirit that commandeth them abstracted elements into a composure O beloved I could wish that I had the highest learned men in the world to speak to for you cannot fathome my reach though litteral I beseech you mind me exactly and distinctly that you asperse not me neither wrong the Scripture nor your selves the point is this First I demand do you believe that that body of Jesus that died at Jerusalem was our Saviour for the Scripture saith that he offered up willingly an acceptable sacrifice unto God for us This is a true Scripture for it is God himself he is our alone free Saviour Now beloved this Scripture is and hath been owned many hundred years together but if it hath been viewed with vailed eyes the truth cannot be reached for you know that the Scripture speaks of Christs second comming which is the Sun in light to unvail all the mystery both in the Law and the Gospel which is his preaching within our souls teaching us the Evangelical truths that is a true sight in all things both Allegorically Mysteriously and Litterally Now I come to the called Scriptures that are litterally expressed they are Christs body shadowie pointing us unto a higher resurrection as Paul saith Let us go on to a further height not laying again the beggerly rudiments of the first principles Now Brethren for Christs body that suffered that is not your Saviour nor Christs body mind me for Christs body is obedience in the whole new man for what Christ did he did it figuratively and yet true Christ is your true Saviour now that must be sought Christ saith I will destroy this Temple in three dayes The Words that I speak is spirit and life All these are mystery let me tell you that there is not one word that came from Christ and his Apostles but were all mystery if the insert had been truly translated whereof to make up the Romish Church a body they have bodyed Christ in a body that the Spirit never intended In alagma senaim maxsi sadaos in re perflex sele nos oramus sabat al. The English is this The Church of Rome hath built their Church upon that body which is not Christs body but upon mans dung and not Christs for true Christ hath not nor cannot have any true corporal body for he is a spirit and a spirit is free from flesh and imbodies himself where he pleases but it is in the soul that is not of the body but is the Divine riches of Christ and Christs riches are spiritual in the souls of men there is one glimpse of Christs body Now know that that body of flesh that suffered at Jerusalem was not Christs body but in that body was spiritual obedience that was the Son of God and that Son in the obedient spirit in that body that was Christ your Saviour which Saviour is in you offering up you unto God which is but thus much obedience in love unto God for do you know and all people that God doth give into the soul light that light is Christ which in the soul is obedience so that God is God in regencie Christ in the soul in every man that is in light that light is obedience hereby man is made obedient and so one with the Father through the Spirit and that light in the soul is perfect Christ Now as ever the light in the soul is Christ in flesh God in spirit do not mistake me for God is the Creator Christ is the strength of God the holy Ghost and Christ are both one in the earthly creation for God is the Creator Christ is the strength of that created the holy Ghost is the valley in which the two Persons as you say act but I say one union in all that hath been spoken and no Persons for know that a spiritual essence cannot be person in true truth but if you say Persons and I say God here is no difference between us for say you what you can say I know beyond what you and the creation can say for mind saying is nothing and knowledge is all things Wrote by me Theauraujohn Taniour Allah High Priest allah all Epistle 18. Wrote at Eltham June 28. 1651. O Beloved God is love O beloved so great is my desire that love should be engrafted in every one of you that my soul painteth after my God for you even that he would fill your souls with love which love in truth is God himself planted in you Brethren let me tell you that then Christ raigns in his kingdome that is in your spirits ye being in love for know that Christ hath an earthly Kingdome but the Spirit in that earthly Kingdome that is his Throne I will come and dwell within the humble and meek spirit saith the Lord. Alvah havilah el asui arab salu in rem madad ai in sele mem The English O the height of Christs Throne is situate in the low spirits of humble men in the earthly form that is the English of that Hebrew state brethren I am comming down to the Hebrew that is now used which is the tenth derivasi of and from the first Hebrew that was wrote Hieroglyphically Moses wrote it Radically that was in Roots for know that in the Hebrew three Radiaces or letters as you count will denote any word in the creation without any more adjuncts Now beloved
wrote by Matthew Mark Luke and Iohn but what we have inserted is neither Matthews nor none of the rests you have not the name of many of their words and then the knowledge in the Spirit that was their light you are very far from no nearer then light to darkness the name to the thing is darkness to light Now before I begin I desire you desire of God that a clear manifest discovery may be made known unto you as the truth is in Jesus who is the light and life of the Father the buty of excelency Now know I come not to asperse the true Scripture but to take of mans invention that is inserted for the true Scripture for all is not Scripture that is written in the Bible and the new Testament for the truth in them both is but one truth and one intire Scripture now it is said that Christ his second comming is to Illusterate to the view the cleare discovery of the wisdome of God and reconcile the differences betwixt the Jews and the Gentiles which lies in the abstract of the Old and New Testament But the vail is upon both Jews and Gentiles concerning the main reconcilement of both in this main maxim that is Massah El Jah or Jehovah but to come to the beginning that is the Incarnation of Emanuel or Jesus or Christ First he was very God equal with the Father what was equal with the Father but himself for he is was and shall be one entire essence in him self before all and in product from him all came even this Son which is the true Image of the Father Now I beseech you mind the world was Christ I am the life of the world these are his words essentially for he was the maker of it and all things and let all people and Nations know that the maker of all things could not die for with him must die all the things made in heaven and earth But to begin Thus God sent forth his Son made of a woman What was that That woman was no less then the life created of himself that is to say his whole creation and he is the light of the whole creation But to come to state one entire State saith one text a woman shall compas a man now the truth in that text is this hevah alsiel agroanei selma that is thus much the strength of God taketh weakness into it this is the meaning of the Spirit in that text Another text translated is in Isaiah a Virgin shall conceive and bring forth her first born and they shall call his name Emanuel that is God with us this text I deny in the coherents additicinal thus is the words in the truth of words alsiel reme a sadi el dolorum in re fasisti nobat al dele a saous in re a pher sele Emanuel the English of the true text and the Spirits meaning is this A Virgin pure doth bring forth unto God that living life Emanuel now how can you confine these words that are a living life operating through the whole Creation in every figure now how comes this Emanuel to be inclosed or the included in the alone womb of one entire Virgin when Emanuel is the Virgin Spirit that is the life of God living in man by operation Now you add to that state to bring in your fleshly humanity Thus much a Virgin shall conceive and so bring it to the relation of our capacity that a Virgin brought forth Jesus the same say I but the manner and meaning must be truly understood Thus I say them words have a Spiritual interpretation as well as an outward signification Now mind Mary that word is perfection Emanuel is perfection also So they be two names but the whole Creation that knoweth knoweth that there is but one perfection Now I say that Mary the Virgin brought forth Jesus and I say and you in truth cannot deny but that Jesus brought forth Mary for without Christ made the Father nothing that was made Now minde this state Mary brought forth Christ Thus Mary is Christ and Christ is Mary for both Mary and Christ they be perfect names of one entire and alone thing the Caldean Tongue is thus read Ofagodo dolma maret eltah assi salos sabdi the English is Jesus the Saviour is that pure alone thing that cannot conjoyn into any one thing for he is the life of the whole O beloved of God my soul pants after you that you might be inlightned by the Spirit of truth but beloved you are so married to the dead letter of whose Translations you know not neither what Bait is laid in the mystery you know its Originality was not wrote in English and let me tell you that without the truth in that Spirit to the wisest man living the record in Scripture is but a dark riddle Was not the Iewish Rabbies as deep learned in the Scriptures in their litteral Expressions as you great learned ones are in these blind times though we may think a great light is in us when indeed it is onely a learned notional lye for all learning is the lye and it is the Whore that Iohn saw rise out of the bottomless pit for know what man can learn in the divine thing it is but to speak a curious name of he knows not what for the Spirits teaching is a turning and a converting teaching which mans words is but the dead name of that living life acting in power to the overturning all oppositions This is the Gospel that is a powerfull Substance compelling obedience unto it self Now beloved I come to let down the State to your capacity and let no man asperse my words But let them take a coppy from what is inserted that freedome I allow to all men for my inserted shall not be barred from any man and to what I have wrote I shall be willing to render an account to any How have I all along desired the Priests my Brethren to a fair despute in giving the state or taking the state from them to answer to them yet never could obtaine it which doth declare that they are in darkness and dare not come to the light for light is not ashamed but darkness and a lye seeketh shelter Now minde I beseech you my brethren for I shall put in the leave● that raises the whole foundation I beseech you minde Christ as he is stated in your Testament could not be born I say it is Blasphemy to hold it forth according to the written inserted I intreat your attentions and be ye like the noble Bereans that searched whether the things were so or no that were declared Now mind what do I seek for at any mans hands or any thing that any one of you have but blessed be the Lord that hath spared me a little of that abundance that he had committed to my trust for in my washing is my refinement Now know Christ could not be properly said to be born that was the
birth and glorious creator of all Secondly He could not be born in one that was the life and strength of all Thirdly He could not be begotten that out of him all things was produced Fourthly He could not be flesh properly for God is the Spirit of life in the whole Creation Fifthly He could not descend in flesh as we account but he is a Spirit and his decent is spiritual into our Spirits whereby he raises a Resurrection unto himself and by degrees our natural man is subjected to the Spiritual man which is Christ the Lord the life and glory of excellency in that word Ci. is implyed union Sixthly He out of whose product all was is and to come could not was not nor cannot be inclossed or included for know a living life in all things cannot be properly said to be only in one thing or womb of a woman If so then where is the life of all the rest that are and cannot be no where consistant but in Jesus their Saviour I beseech you minde I will give you your own words thus say you the same say I Jesus Christ was brought forth of the Virgin Mary and lived on earth as man doth till the appointed time of the Father then the Spirit did descend that Spirit is Jesus even that is the holy anointing above his fellowes But we have brought the humanity to be very God in the earthly form which is absolute Blasphemy For thus man to confine his maker into his owne thing made is to undeifie God and deifie himself this is Antichrist in the highest degree as to ungod God and make man God So life in this sence made death and death is made life For Ephuscos in Re ar alli-aam in re fasisty nebat agoas am sele mem derala al. The derivasy Or the English The Lord the God that dwels on high cannot nor will not be confind to mutability though all things created have their time and change yet still he that is their Changer he changeth not For his unchangeableness is their changeableness from better to better not from worss to worss but they are changed from glory to glory Beloved look into your own selves with the enlightned eye and when you see your self begin to change you change in the beholding the glory of your changer for the beginning change is the end change for our beholding is our changing us into his Image or us into himself So beloved we are changed from one glory to another degree but still wrought by the same Spirit for God who changes all is that onely one cases from himself ר and changes that cased Ϡ into himself form whence it and all things had their origini Selos in Re fasisti ex in ar Sallu vivat in reme obbisus in re ex id in per ko non olemus servat The English is this The heavenly light is God in the appearing thing and not 〈◊〉 the appearing thing and that that appeareth is not the thing and that that appeareth not that even that is the thing of things that is God the glorious creator of all things For God is a Spirit and cannot be seen Now beloved many of you would be pleased so that I would prove what I declare by that you make your God that is the called Scripture for to lay downe a point and run to fetch the Scripture as you account it to justifie what you have laid down when many times that is a lye you have laid down and that is a truth in Scripture in its owne place yet that Scripture by you is made a lye by your producing it I prove it thus For me to state a lye and produce a truth to witness or bear out my lye the truth is truth in it self yet a lye in me thus I name the name and know not the thing Again The Scripture is true I am the lye thus the Scripture is the life of God in me I sound out from that principle by my voice the acting from within that voice is a lye though it be from the true Spirit of God within For thus that that is a sound of or from the thing is not the thing and that that is not the thing is but the sound of the thing which is the lye in the whole creation Now ye Priests in England who have sounded from Antichrist and not from the true Christ you have been and are a lye Thieves and Robbers deceivers for your substance you sounded from was and is a Lye mistake me not the intent is truth Now I shall declare to the whole people that that hath not the ro●●●● in the ro●ght of Christ Is Antichrist and the false Prophet that Deceiver that Accuser that Mansla yer that Murderer that Locust that rose out of the pottomless pit Now I come to unvail and unmask your deceaveableness I beseech you all people minde know as the ro●ght is in the eternal being such are the branchings forth in the appearances Now ye Clargy in England this metaphorical expression is and will hold a large extent Alma amaret assa alui denat all●●ni Sele arkat apsi inde assisi negat alterum in Re aplaph in sab ●i el. The English The high sound from truth it self is but a lye for it is sound or name of the thing and not the true thing the sound of a lye is nothing in the senter neither any thing in the product but confution to unstable Soules Now ye Priests my brethren by creation but I desent from you in declaration and turn you to your owne weaved invention which is your Trade of Lyes in these Nations these Nations is a word proper for the Lye is but one in all Nations the word is proper in his restriction for it confines all under and into one head or Redi O how have you lift up your lying trumpers for the effecting your owne self ends O who would not fight for the Gospel and murder his brethren he could not be of God When the true Gospel you knew not but sounded out your owne lying hearts covered with that glorious name Gospel Now you have misserably ruined the Nation and is it not just you who should have been lights in goodness should be partakers in the work you have wrought Now you have declared your selves for by outward acts are the true declarations what is done in men and acted by men for as the heart is so are the declarations I speak your owne words because ye should understand me Now I shall shew you what the Gospel is and I shall leave the desidement betwixt you and me to be desided by all people First I say That the Gospel cannot be preached by another but by it self it is the declarer and declared it is the truth in the root or foundation from that rought or foundation flows forth the outward sound from the inward significant Now the truth within is the ro●ght of God but the sound outwardly is
confirmed by miracles singes and wonders Then the Spirit did detract as of the detraction Christs death was the figure Now I will shew you what a Church Apostolical was and is the people are gathered by the Spirit of God by which Spirit they are made a seeing and a discerning people Then the Priest ought to be the discerning East and the seeing East of them people then that is a Head and Members of which temporal figure Christ and the Evangelical Spirits is the truth in the true senter in Perfection As Moses was commanded See thou make them like the pattern I shewed thee in the Mount Know he must be in the Mount with God that doth take his pattern from God in his declarative Them words were wrote long ago and now are comming forth in glory to be made good which is proper to Christs second comming in Visible power in signes and wonders of which declarative I Theauraujohn am the morning light declaring the peaceful tideings at hand Now ye Congregated Priests what a brasen whorish forehead have you put on your selves that you dare assume to your selves the hight of the Apostolical foreknowledge in that you dare act and give and deliver up to Satan Now in this you have declared your selves to be Antichrist in his full lusture in appearances as I shall open plainly before all people First I demand of you in my masters name Jehovab that you do produce your president for the matter of Excommunication for mind where that delivering up to Satan was acted forth by the Apostles in them did the Spirit reside and dwell and rest with them in power of signe and miracle which is not declared neither is in the called Church and called Priests for what is more in you and your Congregated companies then is in Antichrist or that Babilonish whore that is spoken of in Scripture For shee deceived the Nations by her Inchantments Sorceries and Witchcraft which is but thus much I intreat you minde it is this The word confined to men confined to time and confined to place I beseech you to take true notice wat Antichrist is and his Sorceries it is the confining the word to men to time and to place I pray minde but this sitacion that is stated and it will unbottome and Excommunicate all ye Priests from your trade of lies Thus prove your selves to be any more then ye have learned then so far ye are in knowledge yet no Priests for let me tel you ye know not what a Priest is Nor what that word Priest meaneth in his full import a Priest is Gods representative in righteousness that is the Image of God in man that is the Priest now let me tell you all even ye gathered Churches ye shall all be broken and God will gather unto him the holy seed from amongst you into one fold And now for men to assume to be Priests and members when indeed he is no Priest neither they all true members for know that apearances doth make members and doth not make true members in the intendant Church which I deny to you for ye are they that are deceived that have got the dead name but ye are not the true living thing yet ye will take authority to name over men that name and the namer is an abomination before God Therefore I desire you that you would but look into your owne waies and search into the bottom for it is darkness which is develish and ye have grievously sinned and blasphemed in taking and assuming unto your selves that glorious name when that is Gods glorious free gist or ●nointing upon man which is Gods inscrption wrote upon man Holiness to the Lord and from this Institution and ingraftment in the true thing which is Gods mercy Brethren by creation ye Priests ye are exhorsists that take up words and names to name over and upon the people of Christ and his Apostles ye intimate the name thinking by them names to do miracles which is but a meer forged falschood for ye your selves are but the dead name and they the Apostles were the true living thing in the true root That was I may say God in the Bottom or root from whence in strength that Voice had power to cast down and cast forth and raise up this was Gods voice from the root that overthrew all opposition but for man to name them words and the effects not follow it is but Antichrist and a lye Brethren be not deceived you are in no better case then thus you think you are rich and need nothing when in truth you are but a name and poor and blind and naked and yet know not the lye is in your right hand and hath deceived you for ye name a name that in truth ye know not But now I pass to the Apostolical effects for the effects followed the Sound or Name That was this the Blind received sight both in Spirit and Body for the Spirit is the healer of the same Body man and men were weaned from the love of the World to sell all and distribute to every necessity as the Pastors saw fit and needful But to answer this before I go any further Ye Priests are ingrosers to your selves greatness and prehemenency and you are Directives to your Congregations so to do for know the Priest ought to be the peoples Eye Then I beseech you people look what a Directive Eye you see withall do you think your eye doth see Apostolically or Hypocritically these two I leave you and the whole world to judge of Now I come to matter of more concernment that is this And behold I saw a new heaven and a new earth the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea And I The auraujohn saw the holy City new Hierusalem come down In Oli-el Emasanet from God out of heaven prepared as a Bride trimmed adorned beautified Selected for her Husband Now the mystery that lies buried within them faint words or weak expressings they are words of life and power and wisdom O sapuit ad amalum in re amamu● seba oli Aneratory Salma magit legi amamus sede oli mem oluani saluite Te egromene selmat am al sede oli bene am Salu el odi selose in re This is the English of the Connexion abstracted from the true Original O the Wisdome free from evil it is God himself in his Reigning Essence But man is weakness that is evil yet God doth take this weakness into Strength and adorne it with beauty and excellency That is thus much T is letting downe the New Hierusalem whose beauty is so excellent that it turnes all the beholders of it into it self Now I come to Ephata and open the mysterious words which are these I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away I beseech you mind what was my brother Johns meaning in this strange and Phiriatical expression was
made in the perfection that is to say thus much God doth cause obedience in the creature and that obedience is acknowledgement of digression and that acknowledgement wrought from that root obedience which is truely Christ in the Soul for he causes an acknowledgement God is satisfied through him the Spirit of obedient man is taken into perfection or heaven Do not deceive your selves God is not like partial men for God is love mercy and compassion Now let me shew unto your view one place of Scripture so called that you and I my self in the daies when I knew not God was much troubled at that is a text translated corruptly from which place that place in the Romans doth hold coherent the text is this as you read it Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated and this was before the Children were born now I plainly see the Sarbax or strength that that place in the Romans fetches that is implied thus much that it might stand with Gods decree according to Gods election as I have declared them words were none of Pauls But now brethren I beseech you by the mercy you have received lay by all prejudice opinions and minde exactly and directly for it is the maine asperse that lies upon the holy and just and glorious God it is laid upon him by the invention of man first I will read the true text in the truth of words to express the intire union significant which is this Eval-silo-reme-am sardet a salu o●oniel In that word odoniel is the main mistake for it is rendered addoniel the English of odoniel is the all-saving mercy of God and addoniel is God in his declarative of Justice Now I read the whole text coherent in the intendant which is this Jacob I love Esau I hate Now let me tell you that these two are in every man and woman under heaven For Jacob is Gods delight that was as much in that day or time as Christ with us for the maxims full drawn is both one for it is in truth no less then the Spirit of God in man or Christ in flesh Now Esau is the Spirit of man that was denoted in this word Esau which word in the original signifies a searcher or pryer or deceit or weakness which is indeed that Spirit that Paul saith is enmity against God or higher it is one with the Devil I prove it thus Esau was and is that searching Spirit that would pry into the secret of God which was a Spirit of disobedience that was and is to be cast forth Now Jacob is an hebrew word Scholars it is wrote with three radiaces in ם Sambah or Sameck that is the name which is denominated in the highest strength in pronounciation that is the meaning when I say such a thing is wrote in Sambah ם now the characters decyphering out this state are ר כ י Rosh Caph and Jod Now Scholars you quarrel with me because the radiaces do not give the true tone or sound let me demonstrate unto you that are the highest learned in the world in the state or sitation take notice and do you know that in the Caballesterial insertion the true knowledge in that mistery lies in the very averets or Frame in the rough materials that is knowing them in their true desendant ●●ttere thus much to know every radiace in his proper weight in his senter Original and to know him in his true original senter that is both negatively and affirmatively and then to know the true state of all his combinements in himself and with all others in their various and dubious imports and compounds this is one hint of Theauraujohn unto you learned ones though I my self am unlearned Now to show you ר כ י Resh Caph and Jod denotes Jacob it is thus much ר Resh is wisdome כ Caph doth impede that wisdome י Jod doth illustrate through כ Caph and ר Resh so to draw the consort into one entire insert it is thus much Gods loveliness in man or the Image of God in man this is Jacob for he saith the inserted he Scripture was the figure of Christ Now I have shown you Jacob Now I come to show you rough Esau he is wrote with three radiaces that are these ש ז ה Sin Zain and Hea. Now people I intreat your patience while I do define this state to our great learned ones Now you great learned Rabbies If I according to your learning had but stated ם Sambah in ש Shins stead then there had been some sound in the pronounciation and do but read the state contrary then you might have made the stated state sounded Heza and now it sounds Hezin Now I will show you the Original of them three radiaces I hold in the Hebrew term or else radax in English is the proper word Now ה Hea is weakness ח Heth is her essence ז Zaine is a figitive compound in any state according to the truth in the methodical method ש is weakness her essence lies in ם Samah or Sameck now shut these together then it is the figitive Spirit in weaknesses that is the rebellious Spirit in man which indeed is the Devil in man unto which Spirit Christ spake when he said they were of their Father the Devil whose works they would do because they were guided by that figitive Spirit that deceiver that Antichrist which hath prevailed over all Nations and now raigns in England in his predominatest spheare yea and in the clothing of holiness or holy zeal and the obeyers of him are deceived and know not that the Lye is in their right hand and hath deceived them But now to come to clear the goodness of God from that charged partiality by mans false conception of his knowledge of him I intreat you minde First I say as I have declared God could not chuse when all was wrapped in the womb of union how could he chuse when nothing was produced but himself alone in his alone and entire Essence I beseech you minde for it will if duly considered take off a great deal of trouble out of both heads and hearts of many people who lye under eruel bondage of this corrupt and false conception that God had from Eternity ordained some unto salvation and some unto damnation which is absolute Blasphemy I prove it to be Blasphemy thus that that can or will be partial it is not God for God is just and just doth not nor cannot admit of partiality then let all the world know that God will not act that himself that he commands man being his representative to be warned of which is these words spoken by God to man that is this command do just without partiality Now you will say are we not as the Pots in the hand of the Potter and may not God do what he will who shall say why doest thou so to his Maker I pray you mind I intreat you I say no the comparison is weakness and it is false I prove it

The English The power of compulsion unresistable shall appear and overturn all opposition and take its owne place of regency in its sphear and act its owne will and commands which is but thus much Christ his second coming in power Now I beseech you brethren let us look and see what Christ his second coming is Now if you knew Christ you might know his coming in a measure to your selves but he is not measure in himself for he measures all and is not nor cannot be measured nor comprehended of any nor of all yet Theos aurau can declare himself that is the light of God can declare himself so far as he pleases to our capacities that is just because God is just and no otherwaies Now Christs second coming is to restore confirme and confound and not to consume with fire the heavens and the earth as we read it in many places of the translation but what we read there in that state is the lye falsely conceived against the true meaning of the Spirit for in them books called Scripture is the lye aswell as in other books Thus I am in darkness I read a truth it is a lye unto me because I am not one with that truth though I read it to be made one with it that is another lye because I make and account a strength to be in that dead name and do not look unto the strength that caused that produced declarative or name of himself to give as it were a stand to our motional affections but know that the divine and sacred teachings is the Spirit of God arising within you that over-powers your disobedience and doth bind up your disobedience and doth cast it forth and plant obedience in its room which in true propriety of speech it is Christ in his owne glory Now one thing I desire to commit to your considerations that is thus much that text that that is translated thus Christ in us the hope of glory Now if it be granted that Christ is in us he is not hope for he is glory nay the Fathers glory and we do hope till Christ be come then we teas our hope for we injoy take notice of this we are in our selves deliverd from that our accounted Devil and Hell and Death Now brethren the main mystery is yet hid in these two denotations Christ in us the hope of glory I say Christ in us is glory Now comes the abstracts of these two into one that is this when this effect is wrought by the Spirit then are we not Christ is all unto God onely one for we then are not our owne but we are Christs and Christ is Gods and so an union betwixt Christ and us and an union betwixt God and Christ into one entire and alone Essence then is the Kingdom delivered up unto God by Christ and then God the Father is as he was that is all in all and out of that all all came forth and into that all shall all be through Christ who is the strength of God be reduced into God and yet a visible creation of appearances in this world so no end This is one glimps of the mystery of the divine Deity operative acting through it self in the illustration of it self this is wisdomes work and the Spirits teaching O sapuit in re faciebat al donior lamed eluviah senebatoi reme amalum sabbat al oly mem sebe nen deat al oli sede pelud alui a sareth hashsha obi The English is this O the wisdome of God in making and creating and creating and making no end neither beginning for what is detracted here it is illustrated in another form and that illustration eclipsed by a greater beauty so in excellency there is no end no beginning but it self acting and operating in it self through it self and unto it self this is the called Trinas person as in re the three persons in the thing but it is the thing three persons no persons but the thing nothing but the three no three but one and that in union who is Jehovah Jere.

seest the Spirit descend and abide that is he So I say to you whomsoever you see acting in love and charity I had need speak this in plaine English words that you may all hear what I mean by the sound I deliver to you it is this When thou doest as thou wouldest be done unto yet further for illustration into thy duty that thou owest unto thy Brethren feed thine enemy clothe him see none want If one ask if thou givest make his condition thine own Thus if I were as he is would I be content with the same I give unto him Now brethren I am come to sound you all in the Truth in the true Gospel Now apply my words unto my self then you will say that I said a sound is a Lye and not the thing Now I grant it every sound is a lye And now brethren look to it for ye are all but sounds and lyers if ye are not deers for the doer shall be justified in his deed Yet to come close brethren minde I beseech you in the bowels of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour leave off this lying in hearing and in truth be doing for ye dishonour the glorious Truth in the declarative of the true Gospel Let me tell you which to my grief I speak it God is witness upon my soul that I lye not That in many places where God and Christ was never named they walk more neer the true Gospel which is doing then ye do that have all this preaching But truely if it were in power the operation would be demonstrated in our holy walking before God the glorious Majestie of heaven ●nd earth Now I will speak in the English Tongue the English actione that raign in predominacie O how are our holy named Zelots how are they become more brutish in their lustful living then the bestial beast I am asnamed to name but the meaning you know O how doth Oaths and Drunkenness raign amongst us for which the Land shall mourn But how doth Deceit and Fraud raign even from the higest unto the lowest O how do we cry up the Gospel as though that were a cloak to cover over all our wickednesses I beseech you hear me ye are the very Mystery of Iniquity that my Brother John saw for it is but a name and no true thing And judge ye by your own doings if God by his Spirit hath preached in you I say the Gospel and Christ you deny an● are bewitched with the highest witchcraft of Satan and ye are the highest form of the devils scholars that ever he taught for his servant● ye are to whom ye obey Lay Christs Rule home and you see that it is doing that Christ commanded and not saying So now until a turning unto obedience is come ye are Lyers deceivers and the devils children Now I come to speak to the Devil and his Regencie that is in the ayre for he is said to be predominate in the ayre Sub Luna non in Patreas a Salma onari reme Emishcio veniente amorarum in a Salma aphny audaret almat alliel in re sabuisti almat on or This state is the highest that can be wrote or denoted Sub Luna in re For know the Moon is knit in the thing that thing in this state is Jehovah but to open the Mazzi sub Luna Our fore-fathers were peaceful men and in their peace they saw no Devil but we that are the weak children of the strong Parents we sees Devil Now you think the state is easie I tell you the deepest judgement in the world by literal learning cannot reach the meaning of the English for there is all that can be spoken But to this devil and to shew his Regencie it is the ayre from whence he and all things Sub Luna was abstracted Now know the Devil by his power is greater then man for man is the Minor abstract but if man and the Devil were but drawn to their full Method they are Signam Ve that is a sign of that same sign I could wish that it were understood but to come to the Devils trine in earthly appearances it is this the Devil-man or Man-devil but you will have it the Devil in man Now how could the Devil deceive man with signes and lying wonders thus wonders and miracles are two distinct appearances I prove it thus The miracle is the foundation that wonder doth rise upon and the wonder is notional the miracle is the substance Now the miracle in man is the Devils wonder thus God doth infuse grace into the soul and then the Devil is cast forth that is the Devils wonder at being cast forth Now this Wonderer is the deceit in man which is indeed the devil in man Now know that the Devils Trine hath the same expression in names and quick nay quicker then the expression from the true root But now to come to the true view of God and the Devil Gods Trine is acted in Christ and by obedience we are made sons in God Now the Devil his Trine is acted by the spirit of man and that acteth evil continually and the greatest devils scholars they are the highest in Scripture and by that they cover their own devilish ends One more when they both cease speaking and come to be declared by the Prophet in them then the true Root doth discover by his Prophet that the teaching was true which teaching is acted forth in the bowels of mercy and compassion in distributive acts of mercy to the Poor and Afflicted But when we look for the fruits that the man that hath not the Root Christ in him although he hath sounded never so high and holily yet I pray take Christs own mark to know them by that is this By their fruits ye shall know them And what fruits do the deceived bring forth I give it a small name but indeed what fruits do lyers that is notional men bring forth onely dishonour I beseech you mind for it is the ax that is laid unto the root of all trees for when ye have as it were reached the Sphere or heaven with expression of words in curious eloquent Oratory and come down to your lives and conversations why ye were Angels in expression and Devils in actions Now let me tell you the truth ye Notional people ye children of your father the devil he was a Lyer from the beginning O that them words from the beginning were but truely understood but it is not reached but unto ye devils children that is deceive not your selves every one of you that are hearers and not doers ye are the devils children for know ye are but a name and ye are not the thing comprehended in that name and so is your father the devil for he is a name and no true thing but a lye and so are ye while ye are hearers and not doers

Justness in God and such a justness in his declarative written that if one word or letter or tittle in the whole books be not true in word and in truth in time and truth in place it ought to be rejected and refused for know there is no perfection but in God and the spellings or denotation of God must be perfect to a mite nay to it self otherwise we make God a Lyar and an imperfect thing which far be it from us to think so Now to come to close and state a Quere and it is to the great learned ones in all Tongues and Languages if they dare affirm that the Translation of the Bible and the new Testament is truth in all its coherencies and dependancies and in adjuncts and conjuncts and in affinacy and definacy and in reluctancy to a tittle to a mite to it self let them be put to their Oaths in this and when they have done it is not the word of God but the writing by man which is but Signam manum the sign of the hand naming the outward sound from the inward significant Now I Theauraujohn say and affirm that the writing in English cannot hold the truth in Translation from the Hebrew by reason of the weakness in it and the excluding certain letters I know of y and f and q and w and other dubious consonants in consequence that are wholy destructive to the true truth in the signification therefore blessed be the Lord our God that hath sent his Light to reduce you from your Idolizing the shadow or name and by his resurrection in you sheweth you the truth and the true thing which is Christ the Lord the beauty of excellency which is Massah or al or Jehovah Salem ad te Israel arbat Wrote by me Theauraujohn Taniour the Jew Allah al sabbah Skribahjael High-Priest Epistle 16. Wrote at Eltham O Beloved the word is life and life is light and light is God the glorious Creator of the whole all altogether Now brethren my God will furnish me with Raddical expressions whereby to let down the true meaning in the intendant and at this time and in this Epistle is divers matters in name let down the first is this Primus maxzi that is the Oli al in man that is Gods Image in man that is the soul in man and that soul tyed with the essence Ti into God or in God both the expressions will hold so as the soul is the light of God set in man so is the light of man wholly set in God Now to illustrate thus the Ti of God in the soul of man it is an onenes though a derivative with himself in Essencie and shall be at the unmodeling of every figure it shall be taken into regencie I shall through the light conveyed unto me unvail this great contested for amongst us concerning the soul Id est de faciendam a Deo vors vita alvi pele athrat The English of the first state speaking of the soul it is to say the making of God now mind there is the first state The second is this the strong life is Gods making himself mind I am the life of the world or I am the strong life in the world mind this is Gods Omnipotency But to come to define these words that is two words and you hold them to be one word in the weight of the import The word in Hebrew in the Orthodox it is Veau or Vea signifying Gods making from himself and yet tyed in himself thus Ve is in all states a severation but Ve being barred in by א Alif Scholars this citation is for you though it be from an unlearned man thus א Alif includes the separating Ve or ו Vau for in the separating connexion א Alif doth bind the connexied into his majority thus Ve it severs א Alif is the first declarative of Gods strength And know the first is the tying strength that produces all things in appearances and the strength in them appearances is truth and by truth God doth keep the Creations tyed in himself for in him we live move and have our beings this is a true written sentence but not Gods word Now I come to shew you that great mystery that few or none of you understand that is these two distinct words whereby you are wrapped in ignorance that is this saith the insert in the Bible God made man in his own image or likeness The both comparisons I deny in their affirmative state and it is said God created them both male and female Now brethren what odds do you judge there is in these two words nay I may say them one word they are two distincts in God himself and we in our weak English make a connexion nay an oneness and an entireness of these two words God made man in his own image or God Created man in his own Image Now I beseech you brethren mind God made the proper word in the ancientest Copy the word is Akkivene that doth import Gods making ●trength and strength is making Now to understand this making in God first and in man next being the product by Akkivene that is man was produced by Gods strength First to quere in God it is vanity so to do but take this short state God is and that is strength But to come to the conjunct of this strength whereof man is one nay the gloriousest figure in Gods earthly field made in the image of God Now do all people in the world know that man was not made For know that that you account the body and the soul are the body and man he is denoted by the Spirit that is the strength of God in man that is the man and the Scriptures hold forth the same for there is a natural man and there is a Spiritual man now you understand it to be a man in grace or favour with God a man that is sealed by the Spirit of God as it is said but let me tell you that Oli al doth inhabit in every man and woman and they inhabit not it until the natural is subjected to the spiritual and then it is properly said and if in property of speech understood that man is subject to man and so both to God in the union Spirit for mind the man Christ Jesus the Creator and bringer forth of all things by his own power Now that you account man it is but the name Oli al is the man that is Gods light is the man in your little world for be you not so ignorant I tell you that in every one of you is many Creations and when the word runs in the singular it doth hold forth for the most part the man that is the soul in man Now as God in himself is the souls life absolutely free so is the soul that is Gods man or Gods strength that is the bodies life absolutely free and that is no Creation but the spirit and the body of man that is Created but the
