Also, ansvvers to severall other subtil queries put forth by one Iohn Reeve, who lives in the City of London, who cals himself the last messenger and witnesse unto the true God, but is found a false witnesse, and a lyar, and a perverter of the right way of God. / Answered by Edward Burrough, and Francis Howgill, who are witnesses unto the truth against this subtil serpent-like generation.

shews thee sin and witnesse the body and sin destroyed within and then and not till then shalt thou know how it is in the resurrection 12 Quer. Thou raises a question from Pauls words to the Athenians thou was before condemning them that stole other mens words and here thou hast stolen a Query and thou askest what think you did that spiritual Creator dwell and live in the Athenians consciences or did his glorious person visibly appear in the highest heavens Ans. The Athenians to whom Paul spoke worshipped the work of their own hands as ●his generation doth their own imaginations and that God whom ignorantly they worshipped at a distance which God lived in Pauls conscience Paul declared unto them and they looked as thou dost carnally thinking God to be carnal and at a distance but he ●aid he was not at a distance from every one of them for in him they lived moved and had their being and this was the God which Paul preached of which Creator we witnesse lives in the high and holy place and with him also that is of a humble and a contri●e spirit and trembleth at his Word 13 Quer. And thou sayest what think you can there ●e any living Spirit without a body or person to display its life in or from and must not the Creator of necessity be a glorious personall substance and thou sayest doth not these men that worship an in●inite Spirit without any bodily f●rm living in mens consciences onely gl●ry in a God of their own imaginations instead of honouring the onely Lord of all life the man Jesus yesterday to day and for ever Ans. That which is not possible with men is possible with God which God is a Spirit as Jesus Christ saith and a spirit hath not flesh and bone nor a created body but displays it self as it pleases contrary to thy will and the will of all men and thou who would by thy reason ●y the Creator with a necessi●y to a personal being are void of the knowledge of God and led by thy corrupt reason which shall never know God and all those who worships God in spirit worships an infinite Spirit which Spirit inhabiteth eternity and lives in the consciences of the Saints and this is not to glory in an imagination but a witnessing of the same eternall Truth which he Saints witnessed which spake forth the Scripture for they witnessed Christ dwel●ed in them and the same God they w●rshipped whose temple they were and not another and we the same witnesse and this to the honour of the Man Jesus who was yesterday to day and for ever 14 Quer. The eternall Spirit Creator and alone everlasting Father which dwels essentially in the glorified body as our Lord Jesus his eternall Son and virtually reign● in all the Saints Elect men and Angels be record between me and you world without ●●d whether this Epistle shall not be sent to you and all the chosen that shall peruse it principally for the establishing of your tender spirits upon that eternall spirituall Rock Jesus Christ God and Man in one distinct body or person glorified and ●●●ly honoured with all spirituall praises from Elect men and Angels when this world is consumed into ashes and all time or times is swallowed up into eternity or eternities Ans. The eternall Spirit which is the everlasting Father which thou saith is essentially in the Son thy word essentially I deny and thy voice yet Christ and the Father is one and the same Spirit that dwels in the Son dwels in the Father which is one I and my Father is one the same dwels in the Saints thy word virtuall I deny the same that dwels in the Father and in the Son the same dwels in the Saints not distinct nor divided for he that hath seen the Father hath seen the Son and he that hath the Son hath the Father also and Christ is divided I in them and thou in me that they may be perfect in one and he that is joyned to Christ is one spirit and not distinct nor separate if thou have an ear thou may hear and that eternall Spirit which is the Father and the Son which dwels in the Saints is judge of thee and by that Spirit I judge thee that this Epistle came not from him to none of the chosen for they who are chosen deny thy voice and what dost thou speak of Elect and Angels with whom God dwels when in thy fourth Querie thou said they were defiled and the holy Ghost saith he dwels with no uncleannesse and so speaks confusion and Babylons language which is the land of thy nativity from whence all these things have been spoken by thee and all that shall ever be established with thy declaring or thy Epistles shall be thrown down for the Rock shall beat thy image to pieces and therefore leave off thy speaking of him and of thy distinct body and of his glory for when he shall appear in his glory instead of thy praises thou shalt howl and lament and wish the mountains to cover thee and he who is out of time shall consume thee to ashes who stands in time and in the airie philosophy and imagination and thy great words eternity and eternities shall stand thee in no stead for that which is eternall was before thou was and shall be when thou art brought down to the pit with all thy imaginations And so that thou might not glory any more in thy shame we have answered thy Queries and for the simple ones sake that they might not be stumbled by thy stumbling Queries who dwels not in the Light FINIS 2 Tim. 2. 10.

acts and speaks and seeks to exalt Christ and him to bear rule that all opinions may be by him thrown down and that by him people may be brought out of a confused age into the land of r●st and peace and righteousnesse to serve the true Spiritual God in the Spirit and by the Spirit of his own Son and further thou sayes some there are takes upon them to speak of a God and of a Christ in the invisible heavens above the starres but are uncapable to demonstrate how Christ by his spirituall Word lives in mens hearts and how he reigneth visibly in glory with his Elect Angels I answer there are not some but many which lives in and speaks forth their own imaginations upon God and Christ and one of them thou art thy spirit is tryed God who is a Spirit dwels in the Spirit of his Son even in the high and holy place and with him also who is of a contrite Spirit and trembleth at his Word but this by thy vulterous eye is not seen neither can any demonstrate how Christ dwels in the heart but he who witnesseth it through death and where he reigns his glory is with him and his Elect Angels this I witnesse but to thy carnall eye it is invisible and by thy carnall wisdome he can never be known Christ and his spirituall word is not to be divided though thy sensuall spirit would divide them but by the flaming sword thou that speaks art divided from both and shalt know neither but to thy condemnation and further thou sayest others there are which speaks of an eternall Spirit or Christ onely in the consciences of men as if there were no Creator ●● Christ at all visibly reigning upon his Throne of immortall glory I answer They who talke of an eternal Spirit or Christ in the conscience by hear say o●●● other mens words without as thou dost and doth not in life and power witnesse it from the Father within made manifest such are denyed by them who witnesse the eternall Spirit dwelling with the contrite heart which Spirit is the Creator which dwels also in the high and holy place and reigns upon his Throne for ever and who do in power witnesse this sees and judges all y●ur carnall imaginations and conceptions of the living God in your carnall minds where he dwels shall no unclean thing enter but is without to be troden in the wine-presse of his wrath for ever and ever and by him shall thy carnall conceptions be consumed even by the breath of his mouth for he is eternall and his Throne is eternall and by the carnall eye shall never be seen and further thou sayest there are who through unbelief that ever any living creature had a beginning they affirm there is no God or Christ at all but perishing nature of this sort are innumerable witnesse the lives and conversations of people every where I answer All who do witnesse the eternall Spirit made manifest to rule and guide all such doth deny and declare aagainst for nothing was without beginning but the eternall Word which was the beginning of all things and which will be the end of all things even the destruction of the wicked and the salvation of them that believe who are born of the immortall seed and redeemed out of the perishing nature into the image of God and such do set to seal there is a God who will reward every one according to his works and beares witnesse against them who in their lives and conversations denies God as all do who do not witnesse the eternall Spirit of Christ ruling in the consciences but talkes of a God in imagination at a distance and such are innumerable and saith in their heart there is no God and such are the fools the Scripture speaks of and whereas thou beseeches to consider of these ensuing particulars I answer They are considered and by them thy ignorance is made manifest and thy folly disclosed and thy blasphemy who cals thy self the last witnesse 1 Quer. In thy first particular thou queries Whether these men were sort forth by the eternall Spirit to preach which in the least cannot demonstrate what the onely true God is in himself and how he is a distinct being from all living creatures and how he reigns in the Elect by a created Word voice of spirituall motion onely Answ. Those men were not sent forth by the eternall Spirit to preach who have not received it and such knowes not God what he is no● where he is but in their imaginations imagines him to be like a creature by being i● a creature by place or habitation God is a Spirit and he is not distinct from living creatures for in him living creatures lives moves and hath their beings and he is not far from them nor distinct from them as he spake who was sent by the eternall Spirit to preach he reigns in the Elect not by a created word voice or a created spirituall motion for the Word which lives in the Elect from which voice and motion proceeds is not created but is uncreated even as God is uncreated for God is that Word and here thy ignorance appears by calling the Word which lives in the Elect a created Word or voice or motions and here be a witnesse against thy self that thou speaks from darknesse and not from light which darknesse cannot comprehend the shining of the light and this discovers thee more to be a false witnesse and not the true witnesse of God and therefore thy portion must be portion of false witnesses read what it is 2. Quer. In thy second particular thou queries Is not this an infallible demonstration to men that a man is sent forth by the eternall Spirit if he have received a gift from the holy Ghost to demonstrate what the true Creator was in his own distinct Essences Nature and glory from all eternity in time and to all eternity and wherein Elect men and Angels differ in their natures and glory distinct from their Creator in their Persons Answ. He that hath not received a gift from the holy Ghost in some measure is not sent forth by the eternall Spirit or God of all truth this is infallible and such knowes not what the Creator is but by imagination and carnall conceptions of him and such in the Light of Christ is seen and by it judged and among such thou art to that in thy conscience I speak which will witnesse me he that hath received the holy Ghost turnes people from the power of Satan to the power of God and knowes the Creator and the dwelling of him in the heart for as the Scripture saith the word is nigh but let all flesh be silent he who is in time knowes not him which was before time and shall be when time shall be no more he who knows the Creator which inhabiteth eternity is redeemed out of time into the Habitation of the Almighty but this to thy dark minde and spirit

mysteries are as in thy book and thy queries where thou puts Elect and reprobate together and as for tryall of spirits we give liberty and exhort all that may try and we direct them to that to try by which is is infallible and eternall whereby they may see and comprehend thee and all who have not the Spirit But that they should try who hath nothing to try with let all such be silent for ever for none understands the Spirit but the Spirit with which we see thee and all who stands in their imaginations ignorant of therefore stop thy mouth in the dust and be silent 9 Quer. Doth not they that speak to a people that declares against all appearances which are contrary to his way discover himself unto a true discerning Spirit not to be of the Lord unlesse they can demonstrate a spirituall Commission that he hath received from heaven by voice of words through the glorious mouth of the Lord so that no mortall man can disprove him though few for want of understanding receive him Ans. The way that leads to the Father is but one which is Christ and he that declares from him made manifest in him declares against all Sects and Opinions and that which thou cals appearances and the way is one and the Tru●h one where there is no rent nor division and he that dwels in the life hath discerning and he that witnesses the annointing discernes he is able to judge and discern and in that thou art seen who would sit on the throne but thou must come down and lick the dust dust is the serpents meat and they who had their Commission from God and hath their Commission from God now they were made manifest to every mans conscience in the sight of God and this we witnesse this the Scripture witnesseth and he that believes hath the witnesse in himself and the father bears witnesse and they witnesse the voice of the Lord which is spirituall speaking to them and they declare from that which is spirituall to the consciences of gainsayers and this is witnessed but thy voice of words is carnal and is denyed and who art thou made manifest unto that which is mortal cannot discern and disprove thee but that which is immortal can and they who are guided by the immortall denies thee and will receive none of thy testimony because it is not the same which the holy men of God witnessed and doth now witnesse which voice shakes the wildernesse and rents the rocks and makes the earth to reel to and fro but to thee this is a mystery and sealed 10 Quer. Again he that speaketh of an invisible spirituall God or Christ living in the consciences or spirit of men thou sayeth he questions the truth of all the Scripture records concerning the life death and resurrection and aseension of the blessed body of Christ into the throne of his immortall glory and doth he not que●●ion whether the consciences of the Saints being sprinkled with the blood of Jesus which died without the g●●es of Jerusalem are purified from the pollution of the flesh and Spirit doth he not question the resurrection of the souls and bodies out of the eat●h at the last day Ans. Here again thou hast made thy sha●e and thy ignorance manifest and knows not so much as the Letter of he Scripture Paul in Apostle of Jesus Ch●ist notby the will of man and Minister of the everlasting God he witnessed the Son of God revealed in him and he ●●i● kn●w ye 〈…〉 Christ ●s in you or else you are rep●●●ates and ●h●i●t is no● divided and he tha● is joyned to the Lord is ●●e Spirit and 〈◊〉 my Father are one ●●d w●●●e Christ dwells the Father dwells and if thou have ●● e●● to hear ●hou may h●●● and if the ●●●e Spirit be not in you that raised Christ 〈…〉 he ●●●d you are 〈…〉 and he that declared these things speak of a spi●i●ua●l Christ and an invi 〈…〉 God and who ●●all ascend up to heaven the word is nigh in thy mo●t●● and 〈◊〉 heart and this is the same Christ that suffered without the ga●e at Jerusalem and no other wh●●h Paul travelled till he was born in them if thou have an ear th●u may hear and the Apost●● did not question the Scripture records for they spoke it and recorded it and th●y witnessed the life of Christ and his death and resu●rection and a●c●nsion and witnessed him ascended above thrones and dominions and to sit at the right hand of the Father and witnesse the same Christ made manifest in us and his resurrection not because Paul said so we have seen it and are witnesses of it the same that ever was the same that did ascend the same did ascend this is a riddle unto thee and seven seals is upon it and thou that queries shall never see them opened and they who had Christ in them and the Father the Son supping with them they had their conscience sprinkled and none else for his bloud thou knows not and so I say unto thee thou art not sprinkled nor thy conscience purified from dead works and they who know Christ in them and no more after the flesh come to know his resurrection he is the resurrection he is the first and the last who knows him risen and have seen him witnesse the first day and the last what speaks thou of a last day that never came to the beginning and so thy soul lies in death and in chains and in utter darknesse and therefore lay thy hand upon thy mouth and see where thou ●●t and the Spirit that gave forth the Scriptures thou cannot witnesse 11 Quer. If after death there is no bodily resurrection for the spirits of men to possesse an immortall glory to eternity or to suffer an eternall devill like shame according to their deeds whether good or evill Is it not one of the vainest things in the world to discourse of God righteousnesse unlesse it be for earthly gain amongst men Ans. There is a resurrection both of the just and of the unjust the just into everlasting life and the unjust into everlasting shame and contempt and every one shall receive according to his works whether they be good or evill but this a mystery hid for none knowes it but through death but what knowes thou who art yet alive in sin what shall be in the resurrection which is after death which whoever comes to know the resurrection knowes the e●d of all things therefore it is not taking their words nor thy own imaginations that is faith nor if thou know Christ no nearer than Jerusalem nor no nearer than above the starres thou knowes not where but through thy dark imaginations this is not to Christ risen from the dead see therefore what hast thou seen in thy self But thou art dead whiles thou lives in that nature and at the resurrection contempt and shame will be thy portion and turn in thy minde to that which

Whether was the VVord made flesh or the Son of God made of a Woman more or oftner then once Answ. In this first Querie thou hast manifested what thou art to all the children of Light and where thou art and what Spirit thou art of a reprobate a child of darknesse thou art thou might have spared the other nineteen Queries for in this Querie thy spirit is tryed and in the eternall Light seen and known Thou askes whether the Word was made flesh any more or oftner then once which makes it plainly manifest that thou knowes not what thou askes and that thou dost not know nor cannot witnesse the Word to be made flesh once but art one of the Antichrists and deceivers which John speakes of that are entered into the world which cannot confesse Jesus Christ come in the flesh and therefore thou queries whether the Word was made flesh any more or oftner than once which Querie comes from thy dark polluted minde who is out of the Light and a stranger to the life and without God in the world amongst the false Prophets Antichrists and deceivers which are in the world and in the Light of Christ which condemnes the world yea are all seen known and made manifest and are turned away from by these who dwell in the Light which Light condemnes thee and all thy generation eternally and the Word made flesh we witnesse which dwells amongst us and we behold his glory as the glory of the only begotten of the Father according to the Scripture whereby we witnesse thee and all thy generation to be in the sorcery and in the witchcraft deceiving and betraying the souls of the simple the Light of Christ in thy conscience will tell thee so for that thou must be obedient to and witnesse before thou witnesse the Word to be made flesh once for thou art darknesse it self and the light in thy conscience if thou would let it rise will be thy condemnation and when thou can witnesse the Word to be made flesh once then thou wilt know whether the Son of God was made of a Woman any more or oftner than once But thou art the Dragon that would devour the Manchild which the Woman hath brought forth who shall rule all Nations with a rod of iron and her child is caught up to God and to his Throne thou the Dragon and thy Angels is cast out into the earth and therefore dost thou persecute the Woman which hath brought forth the Manchild but thou art overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of his Testimony and for thy other nineteen Queries thou hast conjured them up in thy black Art out of the bottomlesse pit which is to be turned into perdition if thou had an ear thou might hear or an eye thou might read but thou art blind 2 Quer. Whether did the Man Christ Jesus the Son of God slain in respect of Gods Decree and Efficacie of his death from the foundation of the world really and indeed suffer death or dissolution of soul and body as upon the Crosse at Jerusalem more or oftner than once Answ. Here in this Querie thou Diviner is found adding to the Scripture thy divinations of thy own brain whereupon the plagues of God is to be added unto thee and poured upon thee for as thou sayes the Man Christ Jesus the Lamb of God slain in respect of Gods Decree and efficacie of his Death from the foundation of the world Oh thou lyar let all people see where there is such a Scripture that speakes as thou speakes here but in the sight of Christ thou art seen and in the life comprehended and art for condemnation The man Christ Jesus we own and witness and the Lambs book of life which was slain from the foundation of the world we witnesse the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world we witnesse according to the Scripture praises praises eternal praises be to the Lord God for ever and thee to be the beast that makes war with the Lamb we witnesse and thou Anti-Christ which looks at Christs death at Jerusalem alone and cannot confesse him no otherwise but without thee here thou art but equall with the Pope of Rome for he confesses Christ dyed at Jerusalem as well as thou so let all thy Congregation see what they hold up that followes thee 3 Querie Whether did the man Christ ever really and indeed suffer in his own person for that end and after that manner which he did once upon the Crosse at Jerusalem before the time or since the time Answ. Here thou full of all subtilty hath made manifest thy Poison and enmity

curse the promise was to Abraham in Isaack is the blessing not in Ishmael and here thou sh●ws thy ignorance but it is but like the former when thou joynes the Elect and reprobate together light and darknesse and in Babylon thou art but in that which was before Babylon was thou art seen and as for those dark spirits thou ●peaks of who minde nothing but their lusts condemning the glorious things of eternity because their carnall reason cannot comprehend them see at home for in the light of Christ thou art seen that thou knowes nothing of eternity but by thy dark imaginations and naturally as a bruite to the light of Christ in thy conscience I speak which will let thee see it is so 7 Quer. Are there not deceived persons and utterly ignorant of the true God who judge men and women in darknesse if they a●k them Questions about the needfull things of eternity is it not because they went before they were sent and so are of a bitter spirit for want of spirituall light to satisfie the ●ender Christian querier Ans. All who dwell not in this light which is pure and eternall are ignorant of God and never knew God such judging shall be judged and by the light which sees and comprehends all darknesse thou art seen but the spirituall man judgeth all things and he is judged of none and all judgement is committed to the Son and where he i●made manifest he speaks and judgeth righteously and those men and women who would be asking questions of eternity and never came to the first principle to be guided by it the light which leads to eternity all such men and women are in darknesse and that minde which is in the earth and in the naturals shall never know and therefore they are judged to be in darknesse and darknesse cannot comprehend the light Christ and his Disciples answered and judged that spirit which would have had a sign and called them adulterers and which spirit we witnesse to the praise of God and to thee that put forth the queries I speak to thee in the presence of God whether thou put them forth in simplicity and art ignorant or would know or in the pride of thy heart and subtilty to tempt the light of Christ will let thee see but thou art rich and full therefore thou must be sent empty away all who queries from that nature that would know but never come to obedience that is to be judged judgment must thou witness and for a bitter spirit of envy that shall stand for thy self and that thou wants spiritual light is made manifest which curses that which God hath blessed as I have seen under thy own hand far remote from this City and that thou hast cursed them soul and body to all eternity which thou never heard nor saw let shame strike thee in the face and stop thy mouth for thou cannot put a difference betwixt the precious and the vile but curses thou knows not what and speaks to that thou knows not But as for them who have a desire to know the way to the Father we are ready to give an answer and to impart of the gift we have received and doth not break a bruised reed but the fat we f●ed with judgement and there thou art answered 8 Quer. It is not an infallible demonstration unto them who have a discerning spirit that tha● man hath no commission from the true Spirit to preach or speak to a people when for fear of his ignorance being discovered or for fear of losing his hearers he shall counsell them to strike close to the Word of God or to hearken to the light within them in their consciences without what that is in the conscience or what will be the issue of it if men be obedient to it or disobedient to it and to beware of false Prophets and not thinking in the least himself to be that false prophet and thus borrowing Scripture language which we are the true Messengers of the Gospel doth he not in his power hinder his hearers from reading the glorious things revealed unto the two last witnesses and so thou saith it is clear that the Spirit is not in them which was in Paul who gave them leave to try all Ans. Here thy infallible demonstration is made manifest to be fallible and lying when thou laies that down to be a sign of them that have no commission from the Spirit and not to have the Spirit because they exhort them to cleave close to the Word of God and to minde the light which shines into the conscience of every man which is the light of Christ here thy Spirit is tryed that thou hast not the same commission as they had who spoke forth the Scripture and so thou Preaches another Gospel for the Word of God endures for ever and by the Word which is eternall and which was in the beginning who tryes all things who searches all things comprehends all things and judges all things he that cleaves not close unto that builds upon another foundation and by the Word which endures for ever thou art seen not to have that word neither knowes what nor where it is neither hath cleaved to it and so art raced out from the life from the foundation and the Apostle who had his Commission not from man nor by man he exhorted those he had preached to and wrote to to take heed to the sure word of Prophesie as unto a light that shined in a dark place and to wait in it till the day did dawn and the day Star did arise and for distinguishing of that in the conscience what it is he that is not separate from the darknesse knows not how to do it But this I say unto thee as we declare unto all the Light which shines into the conscience is the light of Christ which he hath enlightned every one withall and it is spirituall like himself and eternall and it leads out of sin and declares against all iniquity and he that comes to own it and to be guided by it it leads out of sin to know the Crosse of Christ which is a Mistery to thee and it leads to the eternall Word which was in the beginning before sin was and it will judge all thy imaginations and vain conceivings and it leads to the inheritance incorruptible out of corruptible if thou have an ear to hear thou may hear it is that which will let thee see thy vain frothy imaginations which thou hath of God and will condemn all thy vain imaginations and hating it it will be thy condemnation and there is the issue of it and all such as steals other mens words and the true Prophets words and never knew the life that was in them all such we deny and shut them up within utter darknesse where they thou and both are and for the glorious things that thou and thy partner which call your selves the two last witnesses it is manifest that your
