principle head and sayes that false Christs and false prophets may be known by this that there bee some that say they have no sin First Herein thou shewest thy blindnesse and ignorance in the things of God Heb. 2 16 17 18. 2 Cor. 5.21 for in the true Christ there was no sin at all hee was without sin and he tooke our nature upon him and was manifested to take away sin and the scripture saith that he that abideth in him sinneth not and who so sinneth hath not seen him neither known him 1 J●hn 3 5 6. ver Secondly And those that spoke forth the scripture and knew him manifested to take away sin and to destroy the works of the divell said 1 John 3.5 8 9. 2 Cor. 5.17 18. Gal. 6.11 Gal. 5.24 Rom. 6. Heb. 2.10.11 1 John 4.17 Heb. 2.14.15 John 1● 19 20 21 22 23. Joh. 15.1 2 3. that he that was in Christ was a new creature old things were passed away and the old nature and old wickednesse was destroyed and they said that they had Crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts thereof and so have they that are Christs now and withall the Romans said how shall we that are dead to sinn live any longer therein for he that sanctifyeth and they that are sanctifyed are of him and they are all one and hee is not ashamed to call them brethren for as he is so are we in this present world and saith Jesu● Christ himselfe ye are bone of my bone flesh of my flesh and I have ingrafted them into me through the spirit for saith the true Christ I am the vine and yee are the branches but he doth not engraft sin into the vine it is the pure seed which is after the spirit which thou shewest thy selfe to be ignorant of and seemes here to rase the foundation of the scripture thou blinde guide thou dost exceedingly shew forth thy blindnesse and ignorance in the things of God 2 Timoth. 3.8.9 ver Thirdly The scripture saith little children let no man deceive you he that doth righteousnesse is righteous even as he is righteous but he that commits sin is of the divelj by this the children of God are manifested and the children of the divell 1 John 3.9 8. ver Fourthly The scripture saith that he that is borne of God sinneth not neither can he sin because his seed remaineth in him and again we know that he was manifested to take away our sin and in him and again we know that he was manifested to take away our sin and in him is noe sin at all soe saith the scripture 1 John 3.9 10. But thou plainly shewes thy selfe to be blind and ignorant of him that knowes not his manifestation in thee to take away sin for he that commiteth sin is of the divell and whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God neither he that loveth not his brother by this the children of God are manifested and the children of the divell Now thou mayest plainly see whose servant thou art Iohn 8.34 44. Rom. 6.16 1 Iohn 4. of thy father the divel and his servants ye are to whom ye do obey he that obeyes sin he is the servant of sin serveing the divell they are of the world as thou art therefore speake they of the world as thou dost and the world heareth them all that act and delights in iniquity as it doth thee we are of God he that is of God and delighteth in righteousness heareth us he that is not of God heareth us no hereby know we the spirit of truth and the spirit of errour See 1 John 4.2 3 4 5 6. But thou bringest in David for a cloake for thy hypocrisie thou art ignorant of Davids conditior he spoke his experiences and in the working our of sin he cries out of it Psal 10.5 6 7 8 9. Psal 110.1 2 3. Psal 112. Psal 116. Psal 105. Psal 11.8 David did experience the two seeds which thou shewest thy selfe to be ignorant of and David being delivered from sin he said thou hast delivered my soule out of hell and my darling from the dogge and he said blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not sin and David said he would behave himselfe wisely in a perfect way and he would walke in the house of the Lord with a perfect heart and saith he a froward heart shall depart from me and he would not know a wicked person and he that wrought deceite should not dwell in Davids house and he that telleth lies should not tarry in his sight c. And saith David him that privately slandereth his neighbour him will I cut off and saith he him that hath an high looke and a proud heart I will not suffer But mine eyes shall be upon the faithfull of the land that they may dwell with me and he that walketh in a perfect way saith David he shall serve me Psal 101.1 2 3.4 to the end But thou and such blinde guides as thou art are ignorant of Davids conditions yet you can take his words to talk of and say Was not David a man after Gods own heart and he sinned c. Quest Let me ask you Did ever Gods own heart sin Did you but know Davids conditions you may see he desired God to take away his first heart and to create in him a new heart and to renew his holy Spirit within him And the Lord heard his prayer Psal 119.1 2 3 4. c. Psal 145 Psal 146. Psal 147. Psal 111. but David went through many afflictions and many sufferings before and spoke his Experiences how it was with him in all his Conditions I beare testimony to the same truth through death and when David had a new heart given him It was a perfect heart and he said O God my heart is fixed I will sing and give thanks with my whole heart and then Davids heart was filled with praises to the Lord as he saith O my soule bless thou the Lord praise him and magnify him forever and saith he severall times oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodnesse Psal 108.1 2 3. c. And saith David Blesse the Lord O my soul and all that is within me praise his holy name David was delivered out of troubles and saith he bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all his benefits who forgiveth all thine iniquities who healeth thy diseases c. Psal 103.1 2 3 4 5 but the world and Englands blinde guides and blinde watchmen knows nothing of Davids conditions to speake of them from inward Experience and they that speakes of them and knowes them not by Experience steales his words to trade withall as also the words of all the prophets and Apostles but the Lord is against such And aa for that people which thou speakest of that say there is neither God nor divell and that the scriptures is much abused by them I know none that do so much

well say that the Corinthians and the Colossians and the Apostle Paul himself were false Prophets as to say that those are false Prophets that say Christ is in them herein thou art exceeding blinde and ignorant and the Lord may justly complain and say his Watchmen are all blinde indeed 5. Thou blinde Guide thou here contradictest Christ himself who said That he would dwell in his Saints and walk in them and saith to his Father All mine are thine and thine are mine and I am glorified in them See John 17.10 and saith Jesus Christ in his prayer to his Father Neither do I pray for these alone but for all them which shall believe on me through their word that they all may be one as thou father art in me and I in thee that they also may be one in us that the world may believe that thou hast sent me and the glory which thou gavest me have I given them that they may be one even as we are one I in them See here is Christ in his peaple saith he I in them and thou in me both the Father and the Son dwelling in his Saints and here is perfection indeed I in them and they in me that they may be made perfect in one See John 17.20 21 22 23. 6. Here is not only Christ in us but God the Father also as he hath said I will dwell in them and walk in them and they shall be my people and I will be their God saith the Lord God Almighty 2 Cor. 6.17 18. God is love he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him See 1 John 4.15 16 17. 1. Herein thou shewest thy self to be out of God and Christ both so art both an enemy to Jesus Christ and his where he is made manifest and art a false Prophet a Seducer and an Antichrist and Deceives both thy self and others and art guided by a spirit of error and the God of this world hath blinded thy eyes and the Prince of the power of the ayr ruleth in thee and all the children of disobedience and thou and they makes lyes your refuge and so forsakes the onely Lord God to delight in lying vanities but it is but that the Scripture may be fulfilled wickedness is growing up to the height but the wrath of God is to be revealed in flames of fire upon all the children of disobedience and he will reward every one according as his deeds is tribulation and anguish to every soul that doth evil 2 Thess 1.6 7 8 9 10. Rom. 2.8 9. 2. Thou art full of deceit thou blinde Guide and full of confusion which is the Language of Babylon thou that callest thy self Englands Watchman thou art full of lyes also and takes the Apostles words who was an Ambassador in bonds for the truths sake as in Ephes 6.2 but the truth suffers by thee and such as thou art and thou art at liberty in deceit and thou in the beginning of thy Book speaks against a people that say they have no sin and if they be set free from sin they have more cause to praise and glorifie God for his goodness is thine eye evil because he is good and because thou livest in sin and deceit wilt thou judge them out of thy evil thoughts who makes thy self apparent to be a reprobate that denies Christ to be come into his people shewing that thou art ignorant of him in thy self and so makes thy self manifest to be Antichrist as in that place of Scripture 1 John 4.1 2 3. It is the blood of Jesus Christ his Son that cleanseth us from all sin to him be praise for ever and ever who hath sent his Son into the world to take away our sin it is his own work and he is worthy to have the praise who washeth and cleanseth us and justifieth and sanctifieth us by his Spirit as it is in 1 Cor. 6.11 and maketh us perfect through his comeliness as Ezek. 16. It is God that justifieth us who art thou that shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect Rom. 8.31 32 33. But thou art consused in thy writing building up and throwing down and daubing with untempered morter slattering titles and fair speeches and speak against the apparent people of God in whom he is made manifest in measure to take away sin and says they are false Prophets that say they have no sin thou maist as well say that Christ had been a false Prophet if thou durst but for an out ward law for he was without sin and he that abideth in him sinneth not faith John and he said as he was so was they in this present world and he that was born of God sinned not see the Scriptures for it 1 Joh. 3.5 6 9. 1 Joh. 4.16 17. Herein thou art exceeding carnal sottish and ignorant of the Scriptures and shews the spirit of error And in the latter end of thy writing that which thou hast been speaking against thou takest their words that were perfected to confute thy self withal and says as many as are perfect let us be thus minded 5 They that writ the Scriptures they had the life of them and was perfect and compleat in Christ Jesus and thou mayest see that Scripture which thou makest use of in Phil. 3.15 may be a sufficient witness against thee and let thee see that thou art a thief taking these words to speak of who knows nothing of the life of them that spoke them forth John 10.1 but this is to let thee see thy folly and that thou mayest know that the day of the Lord is coming to overturn thee and thy deceits and to render vengeance upon the head of the wicked vengeance is mine and I will repay it saith the Lord fury to mine adversaries and thus saith the Lord behold the day cometh and hasteth greatly to overturn the works of darkness and the workers of iniquity and it shall burn as an oven and all that are proud and all that do wickedly shall be as stubble and the day that cometh shall burn and consume them up and shall leave them neither root nor branch saith the Lord God almighty Mal. 4 1. Repent thou blind guide and give over thy deceiving for wo and misery is thy portion ALL people minde your teacher within and cease from all such blinde guides as this who falsely calleth himself England's Watchman who taketh your money for that which is no bread and filleth your ears full of fancies and your hearts full of lyes by his deceitful doctrine All the Children of the Lord are taught of the Lord and in righteousness are they established Isa 54.13 14. Jer. 31.33 34. Heb. 8.10 11. Titus 2.11 12 13 14. 1 Cor. 9.15 16 17 18 19. Act 20.32 33 34 35 2 Cor. 6. Gal. 1. 2 Cor. 3. and the Lord teacheth his to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live righteously soberly and godlily in this present world and the teachings of God
