glory 2 Cor. 12.5 But saith he of my felf I have nothing to glory in but mine infirmities yet he had wherewithall to glory but he forbore at that time lest any man should think of him above what he saw him to be as he there saith 2. Cor. 12 6. And he that were taken up into the third heaven and into the Paradise and heard such words that was not lawfull to utter were an intimate friend of Pauls that did make it known unto him and in him he gloried who were in such a perfect state as that though he had nothing in himself to glory of but his infirmities that he took pleasure in those infirmities was not sins as darknesse taketh them to be but his infirmities which he gloried in and took pleasure in was in necessities in distresses in persecucutions and in reproaches for Christs sake as it is set down plainly in the 2 Cor. 12.10 read and see and to be reproached and persecuted for righteousnesse sake was a blessed thing as Christ himself said and as you may read and see Mat. 5.10.11 12. And blessed are those that are in such infirmities for such a cause as it is written Luk. 6 22 23. And if ye be reproached for the Name of Christ happy are you for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you 1 Pet. 4.13 14. and Paul being in that happinesse gloried therein as it is written and he did most gladly glory in those infirmities that the power of Christ might rest upon him and therefore in them he took pleasure 2 Cor. 12.9 10. And thou Pallard Water Baptizer and the rest denyed Perfection in this life in the new creation and working of God for we know that we are the workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus and he that is in Christ Jesus is a new creature old things are passed away and all things are become new as it is written Eph. 2.10 to the end 2 Cor. 5.16 17. Rev. 21 1 to the 6. verse Pallard thou and all that denyeth perfection you deny that which Christ came to accomplish by his death resurrection and ascension and Ministery in the Spirits of his Saints and in the new Covenant for if perfection could have been by the Leviticall Priesthood for under it the people received the Law what further need was there that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchisedeck and not be called after the Order of Aaron for the Priesthood being changed there is made of necessity a change of the Law also for he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another Tribe of which no man gave attendance at the Altar for it is evident that our Lord sprang out of the Tribe of Judah of which Tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning Priesthood and it is yet far more evident for that after the similitude of Melchisedeck there ariseth another Priest who is made not after the Law of a carnall commandement but after the power of an endlesse life for he testifieth thou art a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedeck for there is verily a disannulling of the Law or commandement going before which stood outward in types tithes shadowes and figures for the weaknesse and unprofitablenesse thereof for the Law outwardly made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did make perfect which is in the mistery Christ the hope of glory and the new Covenant and he that hath this hope in him purifieth himself even as he is pure and he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are of him and he is not ashamed to call them brethren and he hath for ever perfected them that are sanctified Read those Scriptures and let them judge thy ignorance Pallard and the ignorance of all you that deny perfection to be attained to by Christ in the new Covenant and Gospel ministration Heb. 7.11 12 13. to the 20. Col. 1.27 28. 1. Iohn 3.1 2 3. Heb. 2.10 11. 1 Cor. 6.11 Heb. 10.10 11 12 13 14. c. 1 Cor. 2.6 7. c. Secondly God willing more abundantly to shew to the heirs of promise the immutability of his Councel when he made Promise of it to Abraham confirmed it with an oath and said unto him Walk before me and be thou perfect and see who the heirs of the Promise are which hath right to it Gal 3.29 Gal. 4.28 which thing in the Covenant is so confirmed to the seed that by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lye we might have a strong-consolation who are children of the Promise as Isack was who are of the seed and heirs according to the Promise who have fled for the Refuge to lay hold upon that set before us which is most sure and stedfast and maketh an entrance to that within the Vail where the forerunner for us is entered Heb. 6.13 to the end and we are in him and he in us and we are made perfect in one and are in union and Fellowship with the Father and the Son as they witnessed John 17.10 2 John 9. And saith Jesus our Lord At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you John 14.20 And there is there that bear record the Father the Word and the holy Ghost and these three are one in the Kingdom amongst the Saints even the Kingdom of heaven within as it is written 1 John 5.6 7 8 9 10 11 Luk. 17.21 And saith Christ to the Father the glory which thou gavest me I have given them that they may be one even as we are one I in them and thou in me that they may be made perfect in one John 17.23 24 Christ Jesus in his Sermon upon the Mount he taught the People and said unto them be ye perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect Mat. 5.48 And they did not crosse him in his Doctrine and say they could not be perfect as people say now in this generation When Abraham was ninety and nine years old the Lord appeared unto Abraham and said I am the Almighty God walk before me and be thou perfect Gen. 17.1 But Abraham did not crosse the Word of God and say he could not be perfect Paul he saw that perfection was to be attained and he pressed after it and did not tell people it was not possible it should be attained unto as the dark Teachers of the world do now that labours to keep people in darkness and unbelief But Paul in his grouth as some were in Christ and grown up to perfection before him but he pressed after it and said as many as are perfect be thus minded to presse on others to come up to perfection for Christ Jesus when he ascended up on high he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men for that very end to edifie the Body till they come into the fulnesse of the measure of the stature of Christ and unto a perfect man in Christ Jesus Phil.

and not with wisdome of words neither lest the Crosse of Christ should be of none effect And I asked thee what the Crosse was but thou could not tell and why he was sent to preach and was necessirated to it as he saith in the 1 Cor. 9. For saith he though I preach the Gospel I have nothing to glory of but as he said before in the Crosse where his Ministery stood and saith he There is a necessity laid upon me to preach the Gospel and wo is to me if I preach it not c 1 Cor. 9.16 17 18. But he did not say there was a necessity laid upon him to baptize but he thankt God that he had baptized no more by permission he did that and not by commission for he said plainly that Christ sent him not to baptize but to Preach and he was sent by the Spirit to Preach and not by the Letter as he did certifie to the brethren and his certificate is to be seen for it Gal. 1. but not to baptize And he gave forth the Orders to the Church by the Spirit that sent him to Preach and where did he by that Spirit ever send forth any to baptize with water but to Preach he did and he was sent by the Spirit and not by the Letter and thou sayes the Spirit and the Letter are inseparable but when the Son was revealed in him he did not stand to consult neither did he ask leave of the Letter but obeyed the Command of the Spirit as it is left upon record and the Letter did not give forth the Spirit but the Spirit was before the Letter was neither did the Letter send them to preach but the Spirit did and gave them power to speak as the Oracles of God but where did he say he was sent to baptize but onely to preach in the Crosse and that by the Spirit and not by the Letter for Christ was revealed within him and sent him to preach by his Spirit and that which he preached he had not received of the Letter but out of the Covenant of life and from the flowings in of the Spirit and he had known much of the Letter whilst he persecuted the Spirit and when he received he Spirit he denyed himself and took up the Crosse and followed Christ in the Crosse and there continued in that Ministery by the Spirit and were an able Minister of the New Covenant not of the Letter but of the Spirit and he said that the Gospel which he preached unto them he had not received it of man neither was he taught it of man but by the revelation of Jesus Christ within him and they did not crosse him with the Letter and say how could they know that Christ was revealed in him but received his Testiwony as from the Spirit their Spirits witnessing with his Spirit and they were one in the seed and their Gospel was hid to them that were lost but the Letter is not hid neither is it lost but the Gospel is hid to thee Pallard and to them that are lost who have the Letter but not the Spirit for if any man have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his but many have the Letter but not the Spirit as thou hast the Letter but wants the Spirit and all in thy nature and are in the self separation from the Spirit which the Letter speaks of having not the Spirit that saith the Bible is a History and the Letter and the Spirit are inseparable such are in a form without the power and so are as a body without the Spirit and dead trees twice pluckt up by the roots as it is written but Paul was not without the Spirit and the Power but preached in the power of the Spirit that the bodies faith should not stand in the wisdome of mens words but in the power of God as it is written 1 Cor. 2.4 5. Gal. 1.11 12. and 15 16. 2 Cor. 3.6 1 Cor. 9 16 17 18. Rom. 8. But where was he sent by Commission to baptize and why was there a necessity laid upon him for the one and not for the other to baptize as well as to preach seeing that the care of the Church was committed to him and he knew the whole Councel of God 1 Cor. 9.16 17 18. 1 Cor. 1.17 Acts 20 28 29. Then thou answered and said he baptized as well as he preached for he baptized Crispus and Gaius and he baptized also the house of Stephanos and thou began thereupon to make an oration to the people and devise mischief and to tell lies and said to the people he denies the Scripture and said Paul did not baptize c. Thereupon the people some of them made answer and said do not accuse falsely wherein did he deny the Scriptures he did not say that Paul did not baptize but asked where he was sent to baptize c. Then taking thee with false accusations and lyes in thy mouth in reproof I spoke something unto thee and said how durst thou lye so impudently without any ground but that it was suffered thee Pallard to lay open thy folly that day to thy shame and for the good of others that were lorded over by thee till thy nakednesse and falshood openly appeared so that some of them did speak to thee of it and I then charged thee in the presence of the Lord either to make good what thou had said in falsely accusing without any ground or else for ever stop thy mouth and be ashamed of thy lies and false accusations in that thing and also in others and I said when did Paul receive any Commission for to baptize or when was he sent for that work because himself said he was not sent to baptize but to preach and there was a necessity laid upon him for the one and not for the other and he had a Commission to preach and not to baptize lest by doing it by permission without a command and so abuse his power he gave God thanks that he had baptized no more lest they should say he did it in his own Name and without warrant or authority from God because he had no commission from God for to do it for he confessed and said that Christ sent him not to baptize but to preach and for that he had a Command and wo was unto him if he did neglect and he was not to preach with the enticing words of mans wisdome neither but in demonstration of the Spirit and power lest the Crosse should be of none effect in which his Ministery stood 1 Cor. 1.14 15 16 17. 1 Cor. 2.4 5 6 7 8 9 10. 1 Cor. 9.18 And what he did by permission was one thing and what he did by commission was another and sometimes he did things by permission and not by Commission and what he did by permission was as from the urgency but what he did by Commission was from the eternall power of eternity and was the Lords therefore he
