who say I have no lawfull calling I doe witnesse the same Word of God the true prophets of the Lord was commanded by to declare against all sin and ungodlinesse by the same Word doe I declare against it where I am commanded of the Lord and am called out of the same calling that they were into the same work of the Lord which they were and so I do witnesse the testimony of my bretheren the prophets that went before me who hath left an example in record of suffering affliction and of patience and we count them happie which endure Elisha was a plough-man and when the Word of the Lord came to him he left the plough and obeyed the Word of the Lord and his call was lawful Amos was a herdman and a gatherer of Sicamore fruit and the Lord took him as he was following the flock and the Lord said unto him Go Prophecy unto my people Israel and he obeyed the Word of the Lord and Prophesied in the Kings Chappel and in the Kings Court and his calling was lawful and I do witness the same Call who was a Husbandman and had a Vineyard and gathered fruit till the Word of the Lord came and called me from it and he turned my mind within and enlightened my understanding and opened the Creation to me and let me see the Vineyard without was but a figure and that I must come into his Vineyard to labor in his Work and gathering fruit without was but a figure for there is fruit within to be gathered a possession without was but a figure there was a Possession and an Inheritance to be enjoyed within and that figures must pass away to come to the Everlasting Inheritance which is within which never fades away out of time into that which is Eternal and for this cause and by this Word did I forsake Father and Mother Lands and Livings House and Vineyard to follow Jesus Christ and do what so ever he commands me and this Call I witness to be Lawful and the Word of the Lord is gone forth to command Sons and Daughters to Prophesie in his Name and they have no other Call and they go as they are commanded as ever the true Prophets of the Lord did if it be to the Kings Chappel or to the Kings Pallace or to the Synagogues or into the Cities or the Markets to declare against sin and iniquity and where they see the people given to Idolatry and prophaneness their spirit being raised up by the power of the Lord and by the Word of the Lord do they declare against it and they have no other Call but the Word of the Lord and they have a Cloud of Witnesses for all the Prophets of the Lord spoke from this Word and for speaking the Word of the Lord as they were commanded were persecuted imprisoned and put in dungeons and were made a derision dayly to all that were about them as Jeremiah was and was smitten and put in the stocks Jer. 20. 2. and Daniel was cast into the Lions den for declaring the Word of the Lord Dan. 6. 16. Amos was commanded not to prophecy any more in the Kings Chappel Amos 7. 13. and the Apostles were imprisoned beaten scourged and persecuted from City to City and straitly commanded to speak no more in that Name and for declaring this Word of the Lord did all the Prophets Apostles and holy men of God suffer and the Word of the Lord is the same now and the Persecutors the same and those who are sent of the Lord now and called out of their own Country as they were then to declare his Word against your sin and ungodliness which you live in Magistrates Priests and people you call them wanderers and vagrant persons who have no lawful Calling What would you say by him who said The Foxes have holes and the birds of the ayre have nests but the Son of man hath no where to lay his head Luke 9. 58. and the Jews sayd This fellow we know not from whence he is Ioh. 9. 29. you may say Paul was a wandring person who had no certain dwelling place 1 Cor. 4. 11. and those who wandered about in Sheep skins and Goat skins being afflicted and tormented of whom the world was not worthy they had tryals of cruel mockings scourgings and Imprisonments they were stoned hewn asunder and dispightfully used Heb. 11. 36. 37. and you shew your selves to be in the same generation mocking scourging those whom ye are not worthy to receive but all you dear ones Servants of the living God Blessed are you when men shall revile you and speak all manner of evil against you falsly for my sake rejoyce and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in Heaven for so persecuted they the Prophets that were before you Mat. 5. 11. 12. you are in the same nature and generation of those who said unto Christ depart out of our coasts and saith Christ As they have done unto me so shall they do unto you and now I witness the same things to be fulfilled do not you say as they did Depart out of our Citty and teach in thy own Country and the same generation called Paul a pestulous fellow a mover of sedition and the Apostles would turn the world up-side down and the Jews said they had a Law That if any confest that he was the Son of God he should dye and they said Christ was a Blasphemer and Christ was crucified and the Apostles persecuted by them and all under pretence of Blasphemy Heresie and Sedition and as it was then so it is now for they who come to witness Jesus Christ come in the flesh and both sons and daughters who come to witness the promise of the Father fulfilled in them as he hath said I will pour Out my Spirit upon all flesh and your sIns and your daughters shall prophecy and they who come to witness this fulfilled you say they are Blasphemers and not worthy to live in the Nation and all those who will not lye and swear and use deceit but yea and nay such a one cannot have trading in your Markets for none can buy nor sell who hath not the mark of the Beast upon him but he who loveth and telleth a lye hath the most priviledg and advantage among you O wicked and adulterous generat●on thy wo and misery is coming upon thee for the Lord is appearing who is come and coming to cleanse the Land of evil doers This I was moved to declare from the Spirit of my Father dwelling in me as a testimony of his eternal Love and Power made manifest in me and all who come to know the Power of God which is but one do witness me and all who despise the Power of the Lord this is for a testimony against them from the Lord by his servant who is a Prisoner for the Truths sake whose earthly name is Richard Hubberthorn Chester the 12 day of the 12 Month called Februa FINIS
