A86882	The bios pantōn heideotos, or, [Hebrew] or the vision of eternity held forth, in answer to some antiquæries, vvhich were given forth from Ægypt by one of Babels builders, a pretended minister of Christ, living in Worcestershire at Beudly, that is called Mr. Henry Osland. But the quæries were given forth as the following papers declare, out of simplicity of heart, for satisfaction of the truth: but instead of giving a reasonable account to him that asks, he rails like a greedie hangman, ... So now the antiquæries are answered by one who ... is escaped out of Ægypt from the magicians ... Whose name is known to God by these three Jews letters in the sequel, [Hebrew] but to men by Iohn Humphryes.; Vision of eternity held forth.

7.15 Rev. 11.19 2 Thes 2.4 Rev. 3 12. Acts 7.48 all which as the Reader may see declares not one word of another Temple but rather confirms the former Scripture that said the Saints bodies is his Temple and declares of a Temple but not of another Temple and declares that God hath a Temple and the devil like a cunning Crittick addes another but let me tell him this that God will add plagues to him Rev. 22. and here thou art found a lier and art like to be a lier to his Kingdom viz. The devil who told the first lie to man and here thou art of thy father whose works thou dost Now 2 Cor. 6.16 saith That God walks in them and dwells in them Certainly if he dwells there it 's his onely House or else hath he two Temples and one wherein he dwells not certainly that 's the devils Temple and not his wherein he dwells not or where does he justifie or condemn any but within if he does produce reason or experience Luk. 17. sayes That Gods Kingdom is within yea within Hypocrites where is his Temple pray vvithout his Kingdom then Thou assertest Acts 7.48 which declares meerly in vvhat Temple God dwells and not of another Temple thou instancest Mic. 1.2 to prove it to which I say the Prophet there bids the earth hearken and all in it and let God bea witness against it from his holy Temple where is the Word another good Master let me novv a little examine thee since thou hast heretofore examined me much concerning things of less concernment and all to fit me for the holy Priesthood I believe the devil is no Prophet neither any Predicator for if he had I hardly believe he vvould have spent so much time in teaching his schollar to beat himself the substance of that in Micah is that God vvjl be vvitness against that place vvhere he is not all or ruleth by the name of Christ or dexte ial power The third query vvas Whether the ho yest of all was the material invisible Heavens thou ansvverest Heaven is the holyest vvhich I never yet queryed for if I had I should have similized my self too much to thy spirit vvho ansvverest still vvhen thou art not asked vvhich to prove thou writest Heb. 9.24 vvhich saith not that Heaven that is the holyest of all though true if it had though not in thy sense for there is two senses in Scripture the Devils and Christs but the Apostle saith He viz. Christ is entered into the holiest of all Act. 1. saith that he is gon into heaven thence thou inferrest this falacie seeing one Scripture saith he is gone into the holiest the other that he is gone into heaven Ergo thou concludest That Heaven is the holyest of all which is true in the Apostles sense but a meer fallacy in thine and false Logick also for who taught thee this Logick to prove a particular by a particular a particular affirmative proved by a general affirmative is true according as I learned and heard when I was in the Magick schools among the Witch crafts sorcerers Whoremongers by which I so wound thy error that the best Physick the devil hath shal never cure it All holiness of all belongs to one only Divine Power but God is this one Ergo he is the Holyest of all then consequently there is two holiests of all or else no Heaven but God 1 Cor. 15. but one power that fills all in all hell and heaven is all filled with God and the Saints can be in either But to conclude this point let me include it with this Maxime In Hebrew Lux 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 light or God or Heaven Joh. 1.4 5 6 7 8. Dan. 2.22 Joh. 16.10 16 17. Rev. 5.13 Matth. 24. Isa 60.19 20. Isa 58 8 9 10. Isa 16.1 2 3 4 5 6 7. and the present of these Scriptures in the Margent to the View of the gentle Reader my Maxime is That Heaven is the holyest and God Heaven-Light for so the word in He brew signifies Light properly read and see else and God is Light and Christ is entred into Heaven yea into the Father I in the Father saith Christ now he is in the Father and the Father is Light that 's Heaven in this sense 't is true else 't is but a fallacie for I ask thee If the first were a figure and visible then whether the anti-●ype can be so also as the type was Now if the visible Heaevens be the holyest of all he anti-type then they should be invisible or else cannot be the anti-type or sustance of the visible Truly thou multiplyest up so many Scriptures to hang thy errors in and yet they are so brittle in further and more abyss search that they let fall them to the ground and will not hang together they are of so contrary a nature no more then that sand would of whom the Devil went to make Ropes being sent by the Magicians the while he sought a likelyer subject to make a rope on to tye him up so the Devil sets you to bumbast your errors upon the scriptures to imploy yeu he knowing that they two will not stick together the mean time that he may get faster horst upon your carcases But to conclude my Maxime The Heavens shall vanish and melt away Eph. 2. and if these visible heavens be his essential Temple Gen. 1. then your Opinion sayes that his essential Temple shall be destroyed for you say at judgement it shall be burnt These Scriptures are concerning light in which that word is but variously taken sometime for Devil painted like God then God must no more be an essential power but a lie Alas that Heaven that will shake and tremble and melt is their heaven is their Skye as Isaiah sayes or light a fa●se pretended thing that pretends what it shall never be for the visible is but the Cage that the invisible is collected in to act its parts in an invisible form under two denominations And further that this visible form in form perisheth but the matter still brings forth the invisible in a particular body or else it must be a Chaos were it not collected were it not a visible subject there could be no collection for I believe that as in general the Visible is and was as ancient as the Invisible in the matter of it Inqua●itate for God was ever and God could never be but by a Visible for he was ever a Creator but if never a Creation then never a Creator if there was a time when there was nothing then there was a time when there was no God which destroys Eternity for God is something take away the one and the other but they shall never be separated in matter quamvis in formâ For O Israel when the Sun ceaseth to give Light and the Creation to be so then will I cease to be thine but God will not Ergo

the Creation will not And here also in one of thy pages thou sayest that I bind thee up I desired thee not to adde thy meanings to the Scripture I owe the Devil so much good will that I would not have the Plagues added to him but sometime foolish pitty destroyes a City However then thou acknowledgest that God did not still bind Satan up but once Satan him or rather the Angelical Image who is dressing its self with higher Robes and finer by education and its cursed nature then ever pure Alphabe ical Nature put on us A again in another page thou biddest me search the meaning my self when I had put forth the query to thee on the Catechism of your Assemblies Agreement in that you say Pag. 1. l. 13.14 That the people should seek Knowledge at the Priests lips and now thou biddest me seek the meaning my self O! is not this confusion I leave it to manifest its self openly and apparently Or hast thou left thy Priesthood since that thou hast changed thy Resolutions so soon And that wherein you declared these preceding Expressions you called your Warrant what hast thou so quickly forsaken thy Warrant and in the place thou sayest the words are plain viz. He is gone into heaven why if they are plain what need I seek a meaning Ah! confusion is at a cheap rate with thee in these thy answers to me as may appear by the Readers Integrity in apprehending 2. What need I seek a meaning to that ●f 't is not of any private interpretation at all 2 Pet 1.20 21. nor came by mans will how then can it be opened by that by which it never came 3. The Apostles spake in the Epistles to the Church and Saints and to unbelievers and weak Members how came they to understand it at all without exposition we now lay out so much to have the same now expounded which the Apostles never expounded at all or else the Apostles were much too blame who let that go out of their hands unexpounded to such a rotten Priesthood especially they knowing 2 Thes 2. how soon after the myste●y of Ini●juity should inhaurate or produce such an Apostacie and Catalogue of Vi●erous Deceivers c. Hen. Osland thou in thy second page in answer to my 16. query ventest out thy Serpent-like Venome and art found in the steps of the Scribes and Phariees crying out Crucifie him they thought that they were good he evil being nursed up in the Educatory Schools of corruption So thou and thy Ministry cry out for war-like Weapons to kill and slay all that are with them in this Vniversity of Conception though the Devil be the Vsher I declare not who is the Master where is thy Scripture-Rule for this What shouldest thou do with hot Irons and Whips and Stocks but put the earth to action the vegitive to obstruction the sensitive to torture the reason to catacrination a bloody word proceeding from a Cain-like nature for he that hates his Brother is a murderer Matth. 5. and Esau is the Brother of Jacob yet Jacob hated not Esau but Esau Jacob Obad. 3. i 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14. Obad. 21. read the last verse but one therefore Jacobs Seed shall app ar as Saviours to judge the Mount of Esau Thou Enemy to Nature and good Education does God require thee to take his part with Whips and hot Irons Thou Adetrolical Educator who thinkst that Gods part is vindication by a Sword and therefore smitest the ears of thy Enemies Vengeance belongs to God and he onely will pay it what good would it do thee to see me in the Stocks then wouldst thou answer my query as thou sayest else not so that it seems thou shufflest off the difficult queries that ought to be answered by artificial Weapons by handicraft punishments and tellest me that if I do clear it thou wilt answer it pag. 3. by which it seems the Scripture-promises are not factabonitated unto thee for if thou hadst the true spirit thou wouldst understand my dark speech as thou callest it without my clearing it for God is a spirit and the God is the Comforter and God knows the Devils minde for he pulls it actienical urim therefore if thou wast of God thou wouldest know the mind of darkness without darkness clearing it self as thou in pag. 3. requirest it so that by thy own words thou art numbred among them that call Light darkness and darkness Light Thou sayest that Burraston and Baxter thy fellow Priests are more fitter to whip me then dispute with me the worst of them His 2. page in answer to my 14. Query l. 13 14 12. 1 Tim. 3.1 2 3 is this thy commendation of thy Brethren the Priest Is their Calling fitter to whip then dispute why then tell them that they may leave disputing and go to whipping A bishop most must be no siricker but a whipper is a stricker Ergo they are more fit to be strikers then disputers the truest word thou yet sayest since thy Scriptural Discourse had its inc●pation or alphabetality Dost not thou respect persons among thy Brethren Viz. Mr. B. Joh. 2.13 These pages pag. 3. 2. who callest one by his Name another by the Devils Name though thou thinkest to put the best Title upon him the Apostle saith they ought not know one another after the flesh nor Christ neither but after the spirit to know Christ and consequently so one another also The Devil acts but a fools Play upon the Stage in going by Contraries and immediocrity for because we must not know our Wives according to the flesh therefore not at all but honest mediocrity saith that we must know them and all according to the spirit or life viz. The visible by the invisible 3 Cor. 5.16 and use or act them according to the the flesh or outward form Now concerning thy human-bodyed-Christ did not God make all things by Christ and was not he a perfect Christ from the beginning or before as to particulars and was a perfect Christ and Lamb slain from the beginning of the world then surely that humane body was not him for I believe that God made not the world in thy sense by a humane Body though in truth he does but this is a mystery but if he made not the worlds by that body that dyed at Jerusalem because the world was made before the humane body came Ergo that humane body cannot be Christ 2. Can a spirit be limited to locals a humane body is 3. Can a humane body fill Heaven and Earth Christ does Erg not a humane body 4. Christ is in God and God is a spirit then is a humane body in a spirit by this A Paradox Indeed a spirit is in a humane body an Orthodox Thou in answer to my 6. query saist that Christ is an othergess spirit then the Saints or not the same My 6.
