Spirit and noble Mind of Christ Jesus the Heavenly Man the second Adam that rebuked his Disciples that would have had Fire to come down from Heaven to consume them as the Prophets did that would not receive them and Christ told them that they knew not what spirit they were of that would have had mens lives taken away and destroy them and this was by way of Prayer Shall we Pray that Fire come down c. Now if they did not know what spirit they were of the Disciples of Christ Jesus who would have Fire to come down to consume the People they would not do it by Inquisitians and outward Burnings by Stacks of Faggots nor Hang ing of them as you have done Therefore have you known what spirit you are of Have you known your own spirits either Pope or Cardinal or Friars c. that have burned and racked and put to Death so many Thousands since the Apostles dayes since you got up with your counterfeit Church and Heads And so you that do not know what spirit you are of your selves do you think that any that know God or Christ will trust their bodies or their souls or spirits in your hands that do not know what spirit you are of your selves Then they may say they have lost their Reason and Understanding like your selves But Christ's Prophesie is come upon you John's Revelation and the Apostles That the Man of sin and Son of perdition is exalted above all that is called God in you and so there might be a ceparting away from Truth and then the man of sin should be revealed and there must be a falling away and so he is revealed now Thes 2.2 but the Lord will consume him with the Breath of his Mouth and destroy him with the Brightness of his coming that Satan that hath been working in you all those lying Signs and Wonders with the deceivableness of Unrighteousness in you that Perish because you receive not the Love of the Truth that you might be saved For this cause God hath sent strong Delusions among you that you should believe a Lye that they might be damned who believe not the Truth but have had pleasure in all your unrighteous doings and ●ctions and bloodthirstiness But we are bound to give God Thanks always through Jesus Christ who hath called us by his Gospel to obtain the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Head of our Church But It 's clear you are of them that have smitten your Fellow-Servants and have eaten and drunken with the Drunkards for what must you look for but to be cut assunder and appointed your Portion with Hypocrites where is Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth Mat. 24. And you have made salfe christs and shewed your Signs and Wonders if it were possible to deceive the very Elect but it is not possible the Elect was before the World was And so you are the unprofitable Servants that have hid your Tallent the fruit of which is Love under your earthly Traditions your earthly Idols and Rudiments your own Inventions and Works of your own hands and the fear you teach your people is by your own precepts which you never had from God Christ nor his Apostles and instead of Clothing the Naked and Feeding the Hungry and Receiving Strangers and Visiting the Sick you have made Naked you have made Sick you have made Strangers and in as much as you have done it to these true Christians you have done it to Christ the Head And why Because they will not own your Idolatrous Wayes and Idols your counterfeit Head your counterfeit Church and instead of Visiting in Prison you have cast into Prison and there let them Perish Hear the Sentence of the Head of the Church for all your evil doings and works Depart from me for you must go into everlasting Punishment yea depart from me ye cursed into everlasting Fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Then what have you got here by all your Merits by all your Works your tinckling Cymbals your founding Brass who have not had love Have you given your Goods to the Poor Could you give your Bodies to be Burned Have you Tongues Hebrew Greek and Latine and full of Envy and Blood-thirstiness and void of Love A seditious Sect degenerated Have you Faith It 's but a dead one one that doth not work by Love for Love is the fulfilling of the Law Is not the Birth of the Flesh sound amongst you of Hagar that persecutes him that is born of the Spirit the Free-womans Children And so are not you the dishonourable Birth that must be cast out And are not the works of the Flesh manifest amongst you as Adultery Fornication Vncleanness Lasciviousness Idolatry Witch-craft Hatred Variance Emulations Wrath Strife Sedition Heresie Envy Murder Drunkenness Revilling such like Look upon your church are not all these found Look over Ireland on your Holy-dayes what Drunkeness I never saw so many people drunk as I do of your people on that you call Peter's-day but the fruits of the spirit it is Love Joy Peace Gentleness Patience Meekness Goodness Long suffering Faith Temperance but these are wanting among you and the other Fruits plentifully may be gathered of your corrupt Trees that cannot bring forth good Fruit who are Strangers to the Covenant of Promise without the Hope that purisies as he is pure therefore you must have a Purgatory when you are dead and so are like a Company of Heathen Priests raging for your Images and your Idols and your godds you have made of Bread and Wine and christs and are ignorant of them that preach the true Doctrine of the Apostles who preached the Word in the Heart and Mouth and Christ was in people except they were Reprobates though they have had Bread and Wine The Apostles tell people no where that Bread and Wine was Christ after they had blessed it the Apostle tells them of an Anointing within them that should teach them and as it doth teach them they should continue in the Son and in the Father and as he was so were they in the present evil World So they need not have a Purgatory but you are all in your Purgatories already Head and Tail and Body already seperated from God and the true Church and Head And so as Christ said False Prophets should come Mat. 7.2 and Antichrists and bid the Disciples not to go after them for they should be inwardly ravening Wolves having Sheeps-Clothing And so its clear that you have the Sheeps-clothing that you are inwardly ravening Wolves that have worried so many Sheep and Lambs but you have prey'd upon them and made War with the Remnant of the Seed of the Woman and have drunk the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus So as Christ said they should come and John said they were come and it was the last time then and they went forth into the World and the World went after them and so you were the
they will not eat your gods and your christs that you have made and Worship it And is not this worse then the Heathen Did the Heathen eat their gods when they had made them So it is clear that you are erred from the Catholique Cross which is the Power of God from the Catholique Faith that works by Love from the Catholique Head Christ Jesus from the Catholique Church the Body of Christ Jesus and cannot maintain your rudiments nor your christ that you have made to the Apostles days for did they set up any such thing Your doctrine concerning Purgatory Meats Drinks Holy-dayes Lent nor your Cloths nor your Bell Book and Candle nor your Popes Head of the Church none of these things can you maintain nor your Persecuting about Religion nor your Mass-mongrey-Stuff nor your several Orders nor your Triple-Crowns nor your Nunneries nor your Crucifixes nor your forbidding to Marry not your Schools of Arts to make Ministers none of all these things can you make good that they were acted or practised by the Apostles or that they did persecute any people about outward things 10thly You are a Seditious Sect and have left the Commands of Christ Jesus who saith Freely you have received and Freely give therefore you who have set up both Easter-Reckonings and Midsummer-Dues and Tythes are a Sect that serve your selves and not Christ Jesus that mind Earthly things and are Enemies to the Cross of Christ and are gone in the way of Cain to Envy Gainsaying Carah against the true Church and its practice and run after the Error of Balaam for Gifts and Rewards the Wages of Unrighteousness Unrighteous Wages and like to Flimas the Sorcerer who seek to turn People from the Catholique Faith that works by Love whose Eyes are blind groping up and down in your Rudiments and among your Idols and Inventions of your Fore-fathers who erred from the true Church And as for the Pelagian-Heresie look at home you Papists and as for the Arians you may look at home for we are none of that spirit Whereas thou givest us a Catalogue of some that did succeed Peter at Rome or Paul but thou doest not tell us of Pope Jone and make a Catalogue of her that had a Bastard nor thou dost not tell us of the Bishop of Rome whom thou callest Pope that sacrificed to the Heathen gods and denied Christ What will you say that these were Rebellious Actions And thou dost not tell us of Boniface the third set up by Phocas that murdered his Master Mauritius about six hundred years after Christ then began your firs● general Pope and you may say if you should do so Satan would be divided against Satan and so could not stand You are far from giving freely who have set up so many Glebe-land and Tythes and I aster-reckonings and fat Parsonages that you might live in the Glory of the World not like a suffering Seed but that you are Enemies to the suffering Seed 11thly You are a Seditious Sect you have cast the Royal Law of God behind your backs which teacheth to do unto others as you would others should do unto you for would you have others to Burn you to Hang you to Imprison you because that you do not conform to their Way or Religion Would you have the Turks and Tartars and Protestants and Jews to Rack and Torture and make Inquisitians for you and Burn you and Hang you because that you do not conform to their Religion Blind the Royal Law of God To do to others as you would have them to do unto you Speak plainly if you can or date or is Ishmael that S●●ff●r Cain the first Persecutor of his Brother Nebuchadnezar and Hammon and the Murdering Jews and the Devil the Dragon become Christians Are not you sound in this nature to the brim And was this divine Cain was a mighty man in Arts as high as you and so was Nimrod in his Building but God confounded him and his Works and so he will do yours it is all under the Chain together with the Workmen And are not you more like to the proud Pharisees with their long Robes that love to be called of men Master and the Gentiles Gratious Lords who loved the Praise of men and Honour one of another a Mark of no Believer Is not this Ti●le and these things forbidden by Christ Jesus See John 5. But I must tell you in your Catalogue you say that many did succeed Peter Where do you read that in all his time he was called Gratious Lord or Pope or that Timothy or Titus or any other that he was set up above another by the Apostles Did not Paul reprove Peter for some things This makes nothing for the Pope the Catalogue you have brought neither doth it suit the matter for your whole Church as you call it together with your Head the Pope is judged by Christ and the Apostles and the primitive Church and therefore because that you have lost the Key of David and Tongue of the Learned the Pope must have the outward Key and you must have the Tongues that begin at Babel which your Brother Pilate set on the top of Christ when he Crucified him and therefore must studdy Arts and so Tubal Cain and this proves you a Seditious Sect and have lost the Crown of Life and therefore he must set up 3. Crowns on his head a Triple-crown this becomes the old Fool that is erred from the Spirit that maketh wise and gives understanding he is far short of them that said An outward Crown did not become a Preacher of the Gospel Let him look the History and see if he can sind such a one in the Church-History before the Pope was But his Head must be beyond Nebuchadnezars Head of Gold for he sets a Tripple-crown upon h●s bead But there is a Stone cut out of the Mountain without hands that will dash his Head of Gold to pieces with his Crown So it is not the handy works of mens hands make them never so strong that will stand before this Stone Glory to God in the highest forever And this Stone will become a great Mountain and fill the whole Earth it is encreasing and in vain do the Pot-shreds of the Earth and Briars and Thorns set themselves in Battel-array against it for his Ensign and Flag of Defiance against all Idolatry with their Idols is hell forth and his Truth spreads and his Light shines by which they all see the Foundation and Rock of Ages And this Stone is fallen upon your Head and Body and will grind you to Powder for when your Head is dead you make another with a great deal of quarrel and strife and many times Blood is shed that some of your Members are killed about making of a head when the body makes him like to frantick men that have lost their Brains But for your Racks Fires and Fagots your rude Rabble would never be kept in order for that noble
