Mat. 23.27 28. Rom. 8.14 that the four Books Matthew Mark Luke and Iohn is the Gospel which is but the Letter a declaration of the Gospel Iesus Christ the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world is glad tydings to imprisoned souls 2 Pet. 4.6 The Teachers of the World pretending the Scriptures to be their rule and guide to walk by and acting contrary they shew themselves to be seducers dissemblers and hypocrites and shews the Spirit of Error For they are the Sons of God that are guided by the Spirit of God to live the life that they did that gave forth the Scriptures Richard Farneworth Cease from your Idol Shepherds Rev. 13. for they are the Beasts that all the world worships and wonders after hold them not up the Lord is against them Christ is the true Shepherd and his Sheep hear his voice but the voice of strangers they will not hear Tho. Aldam Luke 23.38 John 1.1 THe Teachers of the world told us that Hebrew Greek and Latine was the Originall and such might open the Scriptures who had that Originall and we do see that Pilate had that Original and could not open the Scriptures but crucified Christ and when he had so done he wrote in Hebrew Greek and Latine and set it over Christ and thus they are contrary to the Originall shewing the spirit of Error for in the beginning the Word was Luke 1. And Luke a Minister of the Word said that they that was Ministers of the Word took in hand to set forth in order a Declaration and thus they are contrary to the Scriptures shewing the spirit of Error and go about with a form of godliness to blinde people Rom. 1.16 Gal. 3.8 And the Apostle saith that the Gospel was preached by Abraham before the Letter was written and this Gospel are they ashamed of which is the power shewing that spirit which is erred from it John 1. And the Teachers of the world saith that Christ hath not enlightned every man that is come into the world whenas the Scripture saith he doth and Iohn bare witness to it that he did and thus they are erred from the spirit that gave forth the Scriptures shewing the contrary a spirit of error And the Teachers of the world have told us that the steeplehouse is the Church which was in the dayes of Queen Mary a place for all her Iesuit Priests and the made a Decree that whosoever did disturb any of her Priests in the time of their service whilest they was at their Mass or Ministring as they call it in their Church or Church-yard or did deface any Cross or Crucifix they was to suffer three months imprisonment and she was called a Defender of the Faith who gave forth this Decree which is quite contrary to Scripture and Faith as you may read 1 Cor. 14. which saith You may all prophesie one by one 2 Thess 1 that all may learn that all may be comforted and thus the Papists and the Priests now are contrary to the Faith and contrary to the Scriptures and the Church shewing the spirit of error for the Scripture saith The Church is in God and the Minister of God saith If any thing be revealed to another that sits by let the first hold his peace 1 Thess 1.1 1 Cor. 14.30 and the practise of the Ministers of God and the Church disturbs the Ministers of the World now in our dayes as it did the Papist Priests which makes them prison and persecute manifesting the spirit of Error And the Teachers of the world told us that Cambridge and Oxford is the two Fountains and those was the Ministers of Christ that came from thence which we see through the mercy of the Lord Gal. 1. that they are the Ministers of the world made by the will of man and so are contrary to the Scriptures shewing the Spirit of Error And the Teachers of the world told us that they was Ministers of God and they was to open the Scriptures and yet they told us they had not that spirit that gave forth the Scriptures so then another the Spirit of Error The Teachers of the world told us they was Ministers of Christ and they do take Tithes of men and if they will not give it them 2 Pet. 3.3 Jude 11. Gen. 4. they sue them at the Law and take treble but we do not read in the Scriptures that the false Prophets false Shepherds false Apostles and false Teachers and the persecuting Magistrates that they ever did use such oppression and here these Teachers are contrary to the false and contrary to the true shewing the Spirit of Error therefore you that fear the Lord God be awakened The Teachers of the world do manifest themselves to be in the Error for how many Goals in the Nation are the Servants of God cast in by and through their means which shews that they are the Teachers that goes in Cains way and Balaams way and so in the Spirit of Error which their fruits makes appear out of the Faith of Abel the sufferer Did ever any persecute that was in Abels faith whom God hath respect to but such teachers as goes in Cains way Balaams way as you may read in Iude and Peter and is not here marks of the worlds Teachers that all the honest hearted may see that fear God by their fruits and marks which they themselves do manifest And do not they manifest themselves to be the bryars and the thorns where the Grapes and Figs grows not And do the Teachers of the world manifest themselves to be the ravening Wolves which have gotten the Sheeps clothing and by their means many of Christs sheep are cast into prisons and there almost murdered and they have made many of the Magistrates without the fear of God to be their Executioners to cast the Lambs of Christ into prison but such as fear God see their folly and the Errors of the wicked Teachers are too many to mention Again such Priests as preached for hire and Prophets that divined for money and Heads that judged for rewards these built up Zion with blood and Ierusalem with iniquity therefore shall Zion for your sakes be laid wast and plowed as a field and Ierusalem shall become as heaps and the Mountain of the house shall be as the forrest and all consider that be in the Light if this Nation be not brought to the same pass by these builders which are now cryed against with the Light that Micah was in Mich. 3.9 10 11. but them which be in the error hold up them which be in the Error but them which be in the Light cannot hold up them which be in the error neither ever could in all ages but the Light did them judg and condemn in which Light the Saints have their Unity both with the Son and the Father and this was given forth that all may take warning in their life time what they hold up The wicked plotteth against the just and gnasheth upon him with his teeth the Lord shall laugh at him Psal 37.12.12.14 for he seeth that his day is coming The wicked have drawn out the Sword and have bent their bow to cast down the poor and needy and to slay such as be of upright conversation THE END
