The Word of the Lord to all Rulers Governors and Magistrates of England to try themselves by what Spirit and Power they Rule by That they may come to know whether they Rule by the Power of Jesus Christ the true light that lighteneth every man that commeth into the World unto whom all Power is given both in Heaven and in Earth which is the higher Power which every Soule is to be subject unto or the Power that man became subject unto through the Fall With a Warning to them that they hearken not unto the Priests of England by whom they have so long bin deceived even by that lying spirit that is gone out into the mouthes of all the false Prophets which have hitherto prevailed to perswade them that they should not hearken to the true Power within them which is the true light that lighteneth every man that commeth into the World Also it may be profitable for all men that they may come to see the difference between the true power that every soule is to be subject unto for conscience sake towards God and that power that is not to be obeyed for Conscience sake but rather suffer according to the will of God VVith some Quaeries put forth concerning the ground of all true Power and Government which is from that power that every soule is to be subject to for the Lords sake and not that which is set up in and by the will of man This have I Written in the Word of the Lord God as I was commanded by the Lord on the sixteenth day of the sixth Moneth about the eighth houre of the day as I was eating meat in my own house saying Rise and Write what I shall say unto thee concerning the Rulers and Magistrates of the Land Which was done in the will and countenance of God Who am a friend to all men for the Seeds sake Known to men by the Name of Thomas Davenport The Word of the Lord to all Rulers Governors and Magestrates of England to try themselves by what Spirit and Power they Rule by c. HEare the Word of the Lord ye Rulers and Magestrates of England thus saith the Lord God who is come near unto you in judgement that ye may all be tryed and therefore try your selves whether ye be in my power which is the higher Powers that every soule is to be subject unto for there is no power but of me and all that are in this Power rule for me and not for themselves nor in the will of man but in my will and for me saith the Lord. And if ye be the higher Powers then are ye also subject unto me even unto my Law which is the light in you and so your Power is of me and every soule is to be subject unto you for my sake Now all that are not in my power rule not for me but for themselves because they are gone out from my Spirit and Power into that which doth resist my Power in which the Enmity is against my Seed unto which the damnation is to Now unto this power none is to be subject for Conscience sake but for Conscience sake suffer according to my will because it is that which prevailed over man at the first when he turned aside and went out from me into the power of darknesse which I had separated from me and so I drove him out to wit man from my presence and placed my Flaming Sword to keep him out from my life who was shut up in death as I had said unto him out of which that power he had chosen could not deliver him nor by any other could he be Redeemed but by my Sword by which he is kept out in which stare are all Man-kind in now who are in their falne nature gone out from my Spirit and so are gone out from my Power which is the life by which the whole Creation is to be Ruled and Geverned And now in this state though men are standing in the place of Magestrates and professing themselves to be such as doe Rule for me yet being gone out from me are gone 〈◊〉 from the power which is of me and by me saith the Lord and are holding up another power which is of another Kingdom that doth oppose it self against my Kingdom and Power unto which every soule is to be subject And now all you who professe your selves to be Christian Magestrates and to maintain my Law consider whether ye be such yea or nay see whether ye have owned my Son whom I have sent a light into the world unto whom is given all power both in Heaven and in Earth unto whom every Knee must bow and every Tongue confesse ye that say ye maintain my Law see whether you have known and owned the Law-giver for there is but one Law and one Law-giver which is Christ And this Jesus Christ is to be known within you which is the Immanuel God with us even God manifested in the flesh as also saith the Scripture the which if you reject to know and beleeve in you have rejected my Law and gone out from my power which you professe to Rule in and Govern by and to have owned with your Mouthes and all who are sound here their professions will not cover them whose works deny me for all they doe is in my sight abominable and unto every good work they are reprobate And now O you Magestrates consider whether you have Ruled for me or for your selves saith the Lord God and see whether you have not been Crucifying to your selves my Son whom I have sent a light into the world and so have Crucified and slain my power in you by which you should have Ruled your selves first and so the Nations over whom you are placed for if a man rule not his own house how should he take care for the Church of God And now how can it be otherwise but that you should be found having your hands in persecuting the righteous Seed even my Sons and Daughters saith the Lord which I have chosen out of the world to bear witnesse to my name For had you known and owned me you would have known and owned my servants sons and daughters also but my words are fulfilled If they have persecuted me they will also persecute you and if they had known me they would have known you also but they have not known you because they knew me not And now you Magestrates confider whether ye are of me even in my power Doth now my witnesse which I have placed in you that bears witnesse to my name testifie against you or for you See whether by it you are not condemned in your selves for I the Lord God who hath not left my self without a witnesse in any of the sons of men Therefore I say to you doe ye now honestly consider and hearken unto me and in the coolnesse of the day you will hear and on your Beds for I the Lord God am he who searcheth
