you are ever drie But I must show what is the case and the reason why Your Fountain doth proceed from the great whore who is the mother of your Universitie For she hath a thousand severall sorts of wine And waters for to please your mind And by her sorcerie ye Clergie you have made the people blind By drinking of your corrupted waters and poluted wine I say again ye Cleargie you have blinded and deceived the people in such a shamefull manner that there is not one man amongst a thousand which doth rightlie understand for what cause Christ was crucified on the Crosse and doth believe the power thereof I have another book to follow this which shall prove and justifie that I speak the plain truth But ye deluding spirits by that glorious light which God hath freelie given to mee You and those whom you have blinded you shall plainlie know and see The same Prophesie of Scripture shall be fulfilled which is written in the 12. Chapter of the Revelation There appeared a great wonder in Heaven a woman clothed with the Sonne and the Moon under her feet And now ye Magistrates and Churchwardens you are not yet able for to unfold this deep riddle And yet you say in the Church I must not meddle But God will make you see I shall fight and manfullie hunt For to preach in the Pulpit and baptize at the Funt For to work a true peace amongst those that cannot agre And Parson Kentish he hath married his man and his maid And kindlie they have kissed and lovinglie plaid And is that anie knaverie but now have at the whores coat And some blind man may note that I mean bauderie But Parson Kentish the baud and the old whore They keep you so blind and so poore That my cunnie you can neither feel nor see for like the Owl you sit in the dark and cannot come to the mark nor get one kisse of the woman free For the woman clothed with the Sun In her â—â—ce I run I am certain and sure For she hath a delight for to teach me to fight and conquer the great old whore And force ye tormenting Committee in Town and in Citie to yield up your hellish power And now ye spirituall drunkards which are so pure in outward show and in your blind way so precise I pray do not scorn to learn of me to be more heavenlie wise for whereas I have said Parson Kentish cannot feele nor see my Cunnie I must tell you I am a Wariner and Parson Kentish he is not yet come to that height of knowledge for to ferit my heaven lie berry for the woman clothed with the Sun signifies the glorious and tryumphing Church of Christ which shall flourish by degrees over the face of the whole world which will be to the confounding of false power and blind Doctrine which doth arise from the Devill and the false Church Again I say the woman clothed with the Sunne you shall see and understand she is joyned unto Jesus Christ and is both God and man for Christ is the word and Christ is God And he that is joyned to the Lord is one spirit Gods Preacher he his both man woman in signification of Scripture For Saint Paul doth tell you in first Epistle to the Corinthians the 4. Chapter and the 15. verse Though you have ten thousand Instructors yet you have not many Fathers for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel for to beget doth signifie man And in the fourth chapter to the Galathians there he saith My little children of whom I travell in birth till Christ be formed in you And to travell in birth doth signifie a woman For as every naturall child hath a father and mother of the flesh so on the other side God he is father and mother of the Spirits And Christ doth tell you in rhe third Chapter of Iohn Except a man be borne againe he cannot see the Kingdome of God for that which is borne of the flesh is flesh and that which is borne of the Spirit is Spirit And to be born of the Spirit is to be born againe by the Word of God as I shall prove in the first Chapter of Peter for there it is said We are borne againe not with corruptible seed but by the Word of God which liveth and abideth for ever and this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you Verse the five and twentieth And thus by Gods helpe I have proved in briefe Gods true Preacher he is man and woman in signification of Scripture for a man is begotten and borne againe by the divine power of the Word of God which is manifest in the New Testament which is the Book of life But ye deluding Clergy when you are in your Pulpit in your Doctering you joyne the old Law new togeather as if they were both as one and in so doing you are yet almost as blind as was the Whoore Pope Ioan But the Devill he hath not so strongly blinded you but God will make you see the Son of the bond woman cannot nor shall not be heire with the free As you may read in the fourth Chapter to the Galatians and the thirtieth Verse For God my Father by the power of His Spirit he will bring it so about that by the glory of the free Woman The bond Woman and her Sonne They shall be quit cast out And for that cause Parson Kentish you shall be forced for to give way and rome That the Woman cloathed with the Sunne may in your Pulpit come But ye Magistrates and Churchwardens ye will not yet suffer me in the Pulpit for to declare my mind And for that cause I must reprove you soundly because you are so blind For are not those blind hypocrites as I will shew you by relation Which fight against that you pray for which is abomination For in Lords Prayer you doe pray that Gods will may be done And yet you fight against that power which doth proceed from God the Father the Son For they have made me a heavenly Schoolmaster and they have given me a glorious crowne And ye learned Synod I pray what say you will not store of gray Conny skins make me a good warme Gowne for I am a bold and valiant Warriour and do love a Conie well And ye Magistrates I hope to draw you from the Devill who is the Prince of darknesse and the great Whore of hell For God hath given me the key of knowledge and Church-wardens I pray give me the Key of the Church door that I may have free leave to call Gods sheep into the true fould and scourge out mysticall Babylon that drunken and poluted Whore with whom the Inhabiters of the earth have been made drunk with the spirituall wine of her fornication which in Gods sight is very hatefull and and abomination But now ye Clergy Magistrates and Churchwardens I pray in time repent and be
reconciled unto the son of the woman free And then you and I shall live in love and peace and quickly agree For the Son of the free woman in plain and brief I must you tell That doth signifie Jesus Christ and the Gospel And I pray understand the Gospel in his right place For it is the new Testament which doth proceed from the throne of grace And now ye Lords Knights and Burgesses in Parliament Committees Captains and Commanders I do most humblie beseech you all for the true love that is in God my glorious Father that now you will in time repent and be reconciled to Jesus Christ and to the ministration of the new Testament which is my glorious Gospel of love and peace that by the divine power thereof your joy and glorie may increase and now the God of love and peace who hath brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus that great Shepheard of the sheepe through the blood of the everlasting Covenant 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. Hebrews the 13. Chapter and the 20. vers And now I say again Jesus Christ he is the great shepherd of the sheepe and that is but one true and perfect God and there must and shall be but one Religion one shepherd and one sheep-fould and Father Son and holie Ghost they have made me a powerfull Instrument for to call and gather Gods sheepe into the true fould that Gods love and power and glorie you may behold And ye high Court of Parliament I pray take Councell now of God and me and in true judgment seat for Gods word doth tell you the woman clothed with the Son shall burn the Moon under her feet And ye blind Synod you have been along time a seting forth of Christ and his true Church as I may boldlie say but alas alas you are all as men in the moon for you cannot find the way and now ye Committees and Excisers the tax monie which you force me and the people to pay you say the same is for the seting forth of true and sound Religion but I must tell you true that sound Religion shall not be set forth by those moon-blind Sinod whom the Parliament hire with our monie nor yet by anie other polititian government or power which doth proceed from mans invention for true peace and sound Religion and Church Government the same shall be established and set forth by that divine power and spirit which doth freelie proceed from Father Son and holie Ghost And now ye Excisers and tormenting Committee in Town and in Citie I pray mark well what I say For if you will not turn and repent Hell-fire will make you lament For Gods power you shall obay For if you will not learn the way of peace which is unto salvation You shall be sure for to obay the torments of damnation But I hope there is none of you that doth desire for to burn in hell Why then I pray do not fight against the light for God will have his will And Father Son and holie Ghost whose light is above the brightnes glorie of the Sun Their power doth command my spirit within their races to run And false power and false Doctrine which proceedeth from the Devill which is hatefull in Gods sight That shall be reproved and overthrown by the glory of the light Which true light proceedeth from above I say from the true God of peace and love Vnto whom be alwayes Honour Glory and Power now and ever more Amen FINIS
