THE KENTJSH PETJTJON SET FORTH By that Divine Spirit which God hath given to mee JAMES HUNT AND Dedicated unto all those which do love GOD and the TRUTH FOr Gods Word doth tell you plainely in the first Epistle to the Corinthians the 6. Chapter and the 17. vers He that is joyned to the Lord is one spirit and there are three that beare record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one as you may reade in the first Epistle of Iohn the 5. Chapter and the 7. vers And now I say again there are foure which doth bear record here on earth they are joyned all in one for the Father is God the Sonne is God the Holy Ghost is God and the true Church is joyned and made one with God for it is plainly written in the second Chapt. to the Ephesians Christ was crucified on the Cross for to make one-new man in himselfe and so making peace but who is that new man I say all true believers although we shall be thousands in number for Jesus Christ he doth tell you plainly in the 5. Chapter of Iohn and the 24. vers Verily verily I say unto you he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent mee he hath everlasting life and he shall nos come into condemnation but he is passed from death to life and now I say again the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost these three are one the word doth signifie Christ who is the second person in Trinity for it is plainly written in the first Chapter of John In the begining was the word and the word was with God for Christ was one with the Father before man was made the word was made flesh Christ was made flesh and dwelt amongst us vers 14. And thus I have proved in brief Christ is the Word Christ is God and know ye not that Christ is in you excep ye be reprobates but how and by what meanes is Christ in his people I say by the true light and glory of his word and that spirit which doth joyne us to God the Sonne the same doth joyne us to God the Father and to God the holy Ghost for it is plainly written in the 4. Chapter to the Ephesians and the 6. vers There is one God and Father of all who is above all and in you all Again in the first Epistle to the Corinthians the 6. Chap. and the 19 vers What know ye not that your body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you which ye have of God and ye are not your own for ye are all bought with a great price even with the precious blood of Christ by his suffering on the Crosse and therefore glorifie God in your bodies and in your spirits which are Gods vers 20. And thus by Gods helpe I have made it plainly appeare by plain and clear truthes of Scripture that for all those that will be reconciled to Christ and to the obedience of his word which is made manifest in the New Testament your soules which is the inward man shall be joyned and made one with the Father Sonne and Holy Ghosts for as the glorious Trinity cannot be divided from being one in Godhead and unity neither can the spirits of the true Church be divided from them three which is the life and substance of true peace and sound Religion as I in briefe have shewed you even as God my Father hath shewed me and by the spirit of Almighty God which proceedeth from above I hope to draw my King and Parliament into the same true band of peace and love And now all ye Committees Captains and Commanders which have your authority from the high Court of Parliament from your persecuting power I pray in time turne and repent for by that glorious light which God hath freely given to mee you shall understand and plainly see that if you will not be reconciled to this blessed peace and unitee and have your spirits joyn'd to the holy and glorious Trinitee I say again if you will not be reconciled you shall be sure damned to bee for Jesus Christ who is the powerfull God of Heaven and earth he doth tell you plainly in the 3. Chapter of John and the 36. vers He that believeth not the Sonne he shall not see life but the wrath of God abydeth on him and Saint Paul doth tell you in the 2 Epistle to the Thessalonians the 1. Chapter and the 8. vers God will take vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord from the glorie of his power And now I pray understand the Gospel in his right place for it is the New Testament which doth proceede from the Throne of grace for Jesus Christ he is the Mediatour of the New Testament as you may reade in the 9. Chapter to the Hebrews and Jesus Christ he did make his holy Apostles able Ministers of the New Testament and my taske doth tell you he that is joyned to the Lord is one spirit and mercie and sound judgement shall be the true notes of my prose and my song for by Gods mercie and sound judgement I shall no man wrong for mercie and sound judgement doth belong to God and to my Kings seat whereunto I am ordained a preacher with power for to pleat and by the power of God you shall see clear Gods Judgement day that doth draw neare for by the Divine power and glorie of Gods grace my royall King shal have free leave to sit in Judgement in Knowle place and have power from God for to call a new Parliament and thereby give Gods people good content and force the Divell for to lament for by Gods power he shall be sure for to receive his pay for to be plagued in Hell for ever for Gods power he shall obey and so shall ye high Court in Westminstar which are grown so great in power for if you will not be reconciled to God and the Truth God will bring you lower for Gods word doth tell you in the 5. chap. to the Ephe. vers 13. All things that are reproved they are made manifest by the light And now ye Committees and Excisers I pray understand me well and consider what I say for your taxing and your plunder that is as hateful in Gods fight as robberie on the high way for I am sure you have no authoritie from my Royall King for to be so bole for to have the command of our money and goods and yet you say I must not you controle but plaine truth if the world condemne thee for a liar I am sure I am no Weaver And now ye Committees I pray judge you who doth deserve the halter the thiefe or the receiver but God my Father he is full of mercie and that must be your hope And
ye tormenting spirits I pray forsake your hellish power that you may all scape the ropâ—… And now all good people in City and Countrey round I pray marke and observe the Trumpets sound For I must tell you plainly and boldly I have received a commission from the Divine power and Spirit of Almighty God for to require and intreat you all for the true love that is in Christ Jesus and as you will answer at the dreadfull day of judgement for to pay no more Taxe money to the high Court of Parliament for to maintain cruell and bloody Warre against my Royall King and his true Subjects for if ye doe I must tell you plainly you will be found for to be enemies against Jesus Christ who is the true God of love and peace and false-hearted unto my Royall King For as the Bees they are all maintained with the honey even so bloudy Warre you doe maintaine by feeding the Parliament with money And now ye man of Warre Sir Thomas Fairfax you are found to bee more crafty then the Fox For you joyne in power with the Great and High Court I plainely see and so you have the command of our money for to mainetaine your great Army But by the Divine power and glory of Gods Word you shall be forced for to lâ—y downe your bloody Sword For God my Father and Jesus Christ the Morning Staâ—re they have made me a man of Warre for to fight the Spirituall battell of the Lord and they have given me a powerfull and fiery Sword for to cut and burne down that hellish power which doth the Saints of God devour And yee tormenting spirits you shall bee made to know God my Father as hee doth require and you shall be forced to confesse God hath made me a Minister and a flame of fire For Gods Word doth tell you plainely in the first Chapter to the Hebrewes and the 7. vers God makes his Ministers a flame of fier And as a temporall fire will burn consume straw or hay even so Gods Word shall shine so clear Marke what I say For to burn and consume false power quite away Now here is a Tuchstone for you Man of Warre Colonell Blunt for by your blind justice you think to conquer prophet Hunt For you have bound mee to app are at Maidstone next Quarter Session but by the power of God I shall command you for to subseribe to my Petition For I pray learne of mee to be true to God and to the Royall Crown for if you will not the sword of true Justice shall cut you down It is written in the 6 Chapter of the Revelation and the 2 vers Behold a white Horse and he that sate on him had a Boy and a Crowne was given unto him and forthwith he went co quering and to conquer and now my kind and loving Friend which by name is called M.

Chapter to the Colos and the 19. vers it pleased God our Father that in Christ should all fulness dwell and having made peace through the blood of his Cross for to reconcile all things unto himselfe And now ye Lords Knights and Burgesses in Parliament and all ye Committees Captains and Commanders and all yee Clergy Magistrates and Church-wardens by Gods help I have made it plainly appeare Jesus Christ was crucified on the Cross for to draw his people into the true band of love and peace and now the God of love and peace who hath brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepherd of the sheepe make you all perfect to do his will working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight through the Divine power of Jesus Christ our Lord Heb. 13.20 And now I say again Jesus Christ he is the great Shepherd of the Sheepe and there is but one true and perfect God there must and shall be but one Religion one Shepherd and one Sheep sold Father Son Holy Ghost they have made me a powerfull instrument for to call and gather the Sheepe into the true fould that Gods love power and glory you may behold and now my Royall King I do humbly beseech your Majesty for to come to Knowle and I wil show you by what meanes all our enemies we may controle for God hath made me able to show you a plain and speedy way for the establishing of true peace and sound Religion and for the setting forâ—h of Church Government in such a plain and powerfull way that the high Court of Parliament and all their Synod of Divines Classes Committees and Commanders and those that are called by the name of Anabaptists shall not be able to convince it for now by Gods help I will boldly say if I cannot plainly prove and maintaine what I spake why then let me be hanged or burned at a stake But ye Lords Knights and Burgesses in Parliament for the Commandements you do say there are 10. and now I say true love and sound peace that is the greatest Commandement and for that cause I hope you will all joyne with me and say Amen FINIS
