fleece and starve the flock by this your magick authority and conjuration which you have gathered in by the Prince of the air the Devill is your God whom you serve he was a deceiver from the beginning by him you are led to deceive the people of their eternall happiness to be led by your conjuration and your Necromancy The Prince of the air leadeth you to airy imaginations without substance Christ is the substance and him you know not to be your guide you are guided by another the Harlot is your guide the well favoured Harlot decking her self making of Images and painting of likenesses of things without substance the substance of all you know not the light of Jesus is a stranger to your wicked minds who are bent against God and his wayes you despise and cast them behind your backs you

corrupted your hearts and minds and made you subject to the Devil who is a Master and Lord over you you are his servants whom ye obey your Idoll Gods in them you live and have your being your being is in this life you know no other nor no better Pride is exalted in you you know not him that leads out of the world nor out of the things of the world for your being is in them your being is in the dust among the Serpents and beasts and ravenous Wolves and with them you do feed in the wilderness of destruction destruction is your end if you do not repent and serve the living God who leadeth out of all babels and trifels pleasing the mind with the fruitless works of darkness your pictures and Images and your praying to Saints and worshipping your dumb Gods which cannot answer the true God you do not know that leadeth out of the world he is unchangeable your God changeth but our God lives for ever whom we serve he dyeth not the God of Heaven is our Lord and Lawgiver and our Head and no other

life eternall all carnall things must dye and have an end your Pope is carnall and vvicked and abhominable before the Lord and an exalted bubble is he vvhom you call your Head of that vvhich you call your Church it is but bables and an invention of the Devill and by him are you guided to exalt one another and to make you a God like your selves Christs-Vicar you do call him where have you learnt that word or from whence did it come can ye tell it is deceit that is your guide you plead antiquity but the antient of daies shall judge you all and all your gathering without God subtilty and deceit hath upheld your vain titles of Monks Fryers and other Orders gathered in by your imaginations who led you to these things did the Spirit of God yea or no or by tradition of them whom you call your antient Fathers Fathers they were of iniquity Authors of evill like your selves by the Devill are you guided to follow tradition knowing not the Spirit which leads to life all your practise is in death it doth not renew your minds nor change the heart to become holy for you are desperately wicked and murderers and thieves and Idolaters you have stoln your Religion as you call it out of the pit it came and into the pit it shall return any one that comes in any other way but by Christ Jesus are thieves and Robbers Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge your Harlotting is known to the Lord who is the Judge of all Judges your deceit gathered in by the Counsell of the wicked one who is your foundation by him you are guided to practise that which neither Apostles nor Prophets did and yet you say your Pope is Peters successor where do you read in the Scripture that Peter sate in a Chair with a triple Crown upon his Head did not the Apostles freely Preach the word of the Lord without money or any advantage to themselves the glory of the world by them was denyed they feared not their lives to the death they gave all their substance to the poor now learn to know the power the poor in Spirit shall see God and live for ever but you are exalted above the light that which discovers sin the light of Jesus who enlightens all men into the world it shews your evill deeds of darkness acted out
