their children without priests sprinkling of them and without God-fathers and God mothers or Gossips and this was before circumcision and the promise of God which was to the seed which was That the seed of the woman should break the Serpents head which promise God again confirmed to Abraham That in his seed should all the Nations of the earth be blessed and the promise was to his seed before he was circumcised and before circumcision came in or was practised and before the law was given So the promise was not with the circumcision but with the seed and so the promise is not with the sprinkling Infants God-fathers and Gossips but the promise was with the seed before the children was born before Abel or Enoch or Abraham and the promise was with the seed before circumcision was and before sprinkling Infants was and this promise the Apostle again brings to the seed and said Circumcision nor uncircumcision availed not any thing but a new creature And as for sprinkling Infants it is an invention set up by the Pope since the dayes of the Apostles and practised by the Papists and since them and from them practised amongst the Protestants But the Heir of the promise is known the Seed Christ in the male and in the female the new creature and all things are become new and the circumcision within ends circumcision without as the baptism within ends that without made with hands and brings from the things that are seen to the things that are not seen 2 Cor. 4. If now circumcision avails not any thing which was a command of God what doth sprinkling of Infants an invention of man avail and God-fathers and God-mothers Therefore that which avails is the new creature and the seed is the heir of the promise not of Seeds but of one Seed which is Christ so Christ in the male and in the female known there 's the heir of the promise and there is the birth known that is born again of the spirit which enters into the kingdom And to you priests which have the mark of the Papists in your fore-heads as your Crosses a-top of your Mass-houses as your tythes Popes mark in your fore-heads as your sprinkling Infants the Popes mark in your foreheads The tenth Bishop of Rome ordained that there should be christening of children and that the child should have God-fathers and God-mothers For your Schools Colledges and names of your Houses your preaching by the glass as the Popes Crew say their Mass and your persecuting wrestling with flesh and blood with creatures Popes mark in your fore-heads and not Christs that saves mens lives nor the Apostles that warred not with flesh and blood you that prison to death for your bellies as you do no work for And oh what a vomit have the Priests vomited and how are they casting and vomiting daylie And how doth the prejudiced professors lick up their vomit that which they vomit spew up And how do the other Priests and Teachers suck and sup up what they have vomited forth and it makes the professors and teachers to vomit again who have licked up that which they have vomited and eat up that which they have spewed and cast up as all their Books and Pamphlets and Pulpits declare their vomiting Let the Nations witness and all sober people how sick they are by licking up that and eating up that which the Priests vomited up again O what a loathsom sickness is there upon people which the one people spew and vomit up and others licking up again what they have vomited and it makes them to vomit and spew and bitter professors full of prejudice they gape and they catch in that which the priests have vomited and spewed forth and it makes them vomit again and so all tables are full of vomit as saith Esay chap. 28.8 From the priests to the people they are all sick and such are these that are against the light with which Christ hath enlightned every man that cometh into the world That which one spews out vomits out in their Books Pamphlets that another priest he takes the same up he eats the book vomits it up again till the whole Nation is filled with their vomit And this hath been the state since the dayes of the Apostles in the apostacy What a sickness hath been because of vomits For first transgress and then vomit First sick and then vomit So all are given to vomiting having nothing to seed upon but what another vomits out what transgressors vomits out that hath the Scriptures and Saints words and are sick and then vomit out being out of the Saints life and the life of the prophets Christ and the Apostles and feed not upon the flesh of Christ and so have wanted the meat that endureth for him that eats the flesh of Christ lives for ever and are well such vomits not such spews not But what a shameful spewing hath here been among them as feeds not upon the flesh of Christ that came down from Heaven which whosoever doth never hungers more and they that doth not are the transgressors and vomits and spews and others eat that as they have spewed and vomitted For it is just so when they are in the transgression there is nothing but vomits and so the transgressor can eat nothing but what others vomits and that makes whole Nations sick And that which these priests and professors vomits out is not that meat which comes down from Heaven which whoever eats shall never hunger more So they that are in the transgression vomits and are as the dogs that vomit up what they have licked up and so one dog licks up what another dog hath vomited up 2 Pet. 2.22 and Prov. 26.11 and so many have been filled with their vomit and hath eaten up their vomit Prov. 23.8 and many are as drunken men staggering in their vomit for all tables are full of vomits in the transgression and as Moab wallowing in the vomit Ier. 48. and because of this transgression the Land vomiteth out her Inhabitants Lev. 18. And so all tables being full of vomit all tables to the savoury gives a bed smell The Lord God is spewing you out of his mouth all gathered Churches and separations whatsoever that have got up since the days of the Apostles that hath had the sheeps clothing but be out of the sheeps nature spirit life and mind and your secrets shall be uncovered and God will fill you with shame The cup of the Lords right hand shall be turned to you and shameful spewing shall be on your glory Hab. 2. that have been drunk and are the drunkards that are filled with strong drink with new wine with the cares of this life Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the God of Israel Drink ye be drunk spew fall and rise no more and the Inhabitants of the earth are drunk all Nations have drunk the Cup of fornication The Kings of the earth and the Inhabitants of the earth hath drunk of the Whores Cup and so are spewing Therefore learn soberness which none doth but they who are come to the Spirit of God Therefore the great Whore is drunk with the blood of the Saints which ravened from the spirit of God got up since the dayes of the Apostles having the sheeps clothing and they that are drunk are drunk in the night 1 Thess 5. and the Whore that ravened from the spirit of God which is drunk with the blood of the Saints and made the Kings of the Earth drunk and the Inhabitants of the earth drunk they are in the night and will not own the light Christ which enlightens every man that cometh into the world but with that are they made manifest for that which makes manifest is light and drunkards must no enter into the Kingdom of God And the Inhabitants of the earth hath shewed their drunkenness with the wine of her fornication sufficiently since the days of the Apostles and the Kings of the Earth But such must drink the Cup of the wrath of the Almighty and of the Lamb poured out without mixture and the judgement of the great Whore is come and Babylon is confounded and confounding with the Beast false Prophet and the old Dragon and are taken and with him cast cast alive into the Lake of fire and the Lamb and the Saints have the victory and the everlasting Gospel shall be preached to them that ●well upon the Earth Glory in the Highest Halelujah The End
