and the abomination that maketh desolation c. And although David was a sinner yet when he saw his sin he repented and sate on the ground and made Sack-cloth his garments and prayed the Lord to blot out his sin and his iniquities and to create in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him which David did witness the Lord had done for him and had delivered him out of all his trouble and said I will praise the Lord for ever mark because he hath done it c. Ps 51.9 10 52.9.54.7 And although Paul did cry out O wretched man that I am c. yet he did after witness and say the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus had made him free from the law of sin and death and over death he did triumph and thanked God that he had given him the victory over his sin through our Lord Jesus Christ Rom. 7.25 and 8.1 2 37. and ch 6.16 17 18. 1 Cor. 15.55 to the end This may serve to satisfie the simple and for a witness against thee Rob. Hill who falsely reportedst that I said Paul was not a Saint or born of God when he said O wretched man c. Thou askedst me whether he was not a sinner I answered that he that was born of God did not commit sin c. But thou by thy consequences concludest and falsely reportedst as aforesaid Let the wise in God judge to whom I refer my self I had been silent herein knowing it is honourable to cease from strife had I not been told of it by several people since I came into prison for it is near two years ago that the words were spoken Now let all the wise in heart judge whether or no Iob David and Paul did not witness a cleansing from their sins and iniquities and witness a perfect holy life or perfection contrary to that Doctrine of George Long and others who quote them for examples to people that they may live in sin for terme of life which is just the Doctrine of the Pope who in his ground differeth little from the Priests of England though in some particular circumstances they may for the Pope and his Jesuits and Fryars tell the people they cannot be free from sin or perfect whiles they are on earth but tell them there is a Purgatory where they must be cleansed after death for which many of them do give their whole estates to the Pope his Fryars c. to pray for their Souls after death that they may be freed of out Purgatory which they say is a place of torment and go to Heaven And hence it is through their subtilty and craft they have gotten so many Abbies c. and other yearly Revenues as they have part of which is now become their Successors to wit the Priests of England and hence was the ground to wit from the Pope of Glebes and Tythes for which the Priests of England contend so earnestly and sue men at Law c. And the Pope his Jesuits and Fryars c. say the Wafer or bread is Corpus Dei the Body of God and the Wine his Blood after they have consecrated it as they call it and some of the Priests of England say the same and the Pope and his Priests c. wash or sprinkle little Children and call that Baptism and they use a form of words at their Graves burying of their dead and they stand praying in the Synagogues and Pulpits and preach from a Chapter and Verse and have Parsonage-houses Gleabs and Tythes and some of them preach for hire moneys c. All which the Priests of England for the greatest part of them do the like and against such dumb greedy Doggs who could never have enough but preach for their gain from their Quarters the Lord sent Isaiah to cry Isa 56.10 11. and against such the Lord sent Jerimiah to cry which did commit the horrible thing in the Land the Prophets prophecying falsely and the Priests bearing rule by their means and the people did love to have it so as ye people of England do but what will ye do in the end thereof ye shall lye down in sorrow Isa 5.30 31. Isa 50.11 and against such the Lord sent Ezekiel to cry who did make a prey of the prople and destroyed Souls for dishonest gain Ezek. 34.3 4. and 27.4 And against such the Lord sent Micah to cry which did preach for hire and divine for money as your Priests and Divines do Micah 3.10 11. And Christ said ye shall know them by they fruits and against such Christ Jesus cryed who stood praying in the Synagogues and were called of men Master and had the chief Seats in the Assemblies and the uppermost rooms at Feasts Mat. 23.6 7. Now all people who have been learning the way of truth from your priests some 20 30 40 years some more some less and have given them great Gifts and Rewards and yet ye are as ignorant of the true way to eternal life as ye were the first time you went to hear them and look with a single eye on your Priests and see what difference there is between their Doctrine and that of the Popes Therefore be ye warned of them all people before the terrible day of the Lord come upon you and consume you as stubble for in that day the wicked shall be as stubble which is come and coming and with the Rod of his mouth will he smite the earth and with the breath of his lips will he slay the wicked therefore while ye have time prize it and repent for though there be a righteous holy life to be attained through Christ Jesus Isa 4.4 whose blood cleanseth from all sin yet those whom he doth redeem by his Spirit of burnings and of judgement from sin Rom. ● 6 he doth redeem them henceforth not to live in sin but unto him which dyed and rose again he that hath an ear to hear 2 Cor. 5.15 can hear to serve him mark in newness of life and if ever any of you come to witness a perfect holy life either Priest or People in any measure ye must come to witness a real not feigned forsaking of your evil wayes and a daily dying and crucifying of that life that now liveth in you with all its lusts and affections Gal. 5.24.25 16. Rom 6.4 And the life that ye have sl●ne whiles ye have nourished your hearts as in the day of slaughter to be raised by the power and glory of the Lord God even as Jesus was raised from the dead c. And therefore your saying ye hope ye shall be saved from your sins and ye believe Christ dyed for your sins and by faith in Christ ye shall be saved c. It is not your speaking those words and living in sin will serve your turns for Christ is come and coming to give to every one according as their works shall be And therefore that beliefe that doth

not lead you out of sin and evil and to live a truly righteous holy life it is the belief of Devils for the Devils believe and tremble Iam. 2.19 Therefore saith Christ who is the light of the world Ioh. 8.12 Ioh. 12.46 that lighteth every one that cometh into the world that whosoever believeth mark and understand aright and followeth shall not abide in darkness but shall have the light of life God is light and in him is no darkness If ye say ye believe in the light and walk in darkness sin and evil ye are lyers and the truth is not in you 1 Iohn 1.5 6. 1 Ioh. 3.3 And that hope that is not purifying your hearts even as he is pure is the hope of the hypocrite and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish And that faith which doth not give you victory over sin and the world Ia. 2.10.26 which is in your hearts out of which proceedeth evil thoughts adulteries murders thefts covetousness pride deceit and all manner of wicked uncleanness that faith is a dead faith for whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world and that is your victory over the world even your faith 1 Joh. 5.4 Now in the light of Christ in you all Judge whether ye have this true hope faith and belief with their effects and operations as they are in Jesus ye or nay For though Moses did tell the children of Israel of a land of rest which was truth yet after the Lord by his power delivered them from the oppressions of Pharaoh and his Task-masters and brought them through the Sea delivered them from their enemies that pursued them and from many other enemies in their travels and lead them through Wildernesses and through a great and terrible Wilderness wherein were Scorpions and fiery Serpents drought no water Deut 8.15 Yet I say many for their rebellion disobedience and hardness of heart and unbelief entred not into that land of rest but dyed in the Wilderness but the faithful and obedient did enter into the land of promise I have transferred this unto you as a figure if ye can receive it do Now all these things happened unto them for examples And they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the world are come These following are the Queries I send to you Georg Long and Priest Sangers of London which I do require you to answer by plain Scripture which if ye do the false Prophets and Anti-christs and Deceivers will be discovered and the truth cleared from salshood Querie 1.
