The Spirituall Verses and Prose OF JAMES HUNT CONCERNING THE ADVANCMENT OF Christ his glorious and Triumphing Church Which by degrees shall flourish over the face of the whole world which will be to the overthrow of the Divill and the false Church Dedicated to the Kings most Excellent Majestie and to the most Honorable and High Court of PARLIAMENT London Printed for J. H. 1642. The Spirituall Verses and Prose OF JAMES HUNT NOw Christian reader the Apostle S. Paul saith plainly Col. 3.16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdome teaching and admonishing one another in Psalmes and Hymnes and spirituall songs singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Wherefore by that grace that God hath given unto me I have writ some part of my mind in a spirituall song which will be to the praise and glory of God and to the confounding of the divill For my prose will cleare and prove my verses to be sound and true for Christ Iesus who is the perfect God he saith plainly Iohn 16 When he the Spirit of truth is come he will reprove the world of judgment Now by that spirit of truth which our glorious God hath given unto me I will plainly and boldly say if I have not thereby I say by the help and power of God reproved and quite overthrowne the Bishops and all their Clergy both in their doctrine and in their judgment as concerning true and sound Religion I will desire no mercy but be content to be put to death under the judgment of the high Court of Parliament whom God I hope hath gathered together for the tryall of the Spirits Wherefore I Iames Hunt a Minister and Messenger of Iesus Christ do humbly beseech you all for the mercies of God and the true love that is in Iesus Christ that you will observe the Councell of Saint Paul which saith Quench not tht Spirit despise not Prophecying but prove all things and hold fast that which is good Wherefore I beseech you to read my book thorow with observation which I hope will be to your everlasting joy and glory Christian Brethren it is written Reve. 19. 11. Behold a White horse and he that sat on him was called faithfull and true and in righteousnes he doth judge and make Warre I understand he that sits upon the White horse signifieth Christ and his Ministers which are men of Warre to fight the spirituall battle of the Lord For he that is joyned to the Lord is one spirit 1 Cor. 6. 17. Wherefore I Iames Hunt to London come As Souldiers do by sound of the Drum To see if there be any spirituall Souldier in this towne That can be able the plaine Plow-man to confound If there be any such here or shall come hither I pray let him be Captaine to weare the Feather But some of the Clergy say I am a foole It is because I am not taught in their schoole Why Mus a Mouse and Pediculus a Louse Will not that serve in a Country House But Greeke and Latine I must you tell I pray will you my words marke well Your kingdome will be quite throwne downe By the cleare voice of the trumpet sound For you have so many false doctrines rais'd By your Latine tongue and Greeke phrase That now I trust in our glorious God The plaine English tongue will winne the praise For there are very few Mysteries in the Gospel that be so strong But they may be unfolded by the plaine English tongue But Greeke and Latine have you not heard of the great whore That seekes my life for to devoure Her name is Mystery Babilon the great For Greeke and Latine is her seat By which she hath advanc'd her selfe to great honour and renown But the sword of truth will cut her downe For I understand by Gods great power She shall be confounded in one houre Wherefore Greek and Latine if you be offended at my writing or by my word I pray let you and I try it out with the spirituall sword Therefore looke to your selfe that you do not prove a Cow And so it may be said as it was to your Captaine William I pray thee who is most foole now For the deepest scholler in Cambridge Schoole May be taught wisdome by Christs foole But Greeke and Latine you say that I do climbe too high Your Pulpit I must not come nigh But I shall prove your doctrine is neither cleare nor sound Therefore I pray let me get up and do you come downe Now Greeke and Latine which in worldly wisdome do excell What can you say do I not follow my text well For I praise God I have wounded the Whore upon the head That she will bleed till she be dead For all the Doctors in Rome and Spaine Cannot heale her up againe For the Spirit of God will burne her downe And lay her Levell with the ground I meane by the powerfull preaching of Gods word Which is the powerfull and fiery sword Againe Greeke and Latine your halter will be fited to your head For you will be hanged till you be dead For I shall prove to you in briefe She is a murtherer and a thiefe And thus I end my spirituall song Hopeing I have done no man wrong For by speaking that which is just and true I shall give the Bishops Clergie their full due For by the helpe and power of God I will boldly say with S. Paul 1 Cor. 2. 12. Now we have not received the spirit of the world but the spirit which is of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God Which things we speake not in the words which mans wisdome teacheth but that which the Holy Ghost teacheth comparing spirituall things with spirituall that is comparing spirituall light with spirituall light and spirituall darknes awith spirituall darknes For all false doctrine with false worship is discovered and overthrowne by the power and glory of the light which is revealed in the Gospell of Christ Which things we speake not in the words which mans wisdome teacheth marke this point I beseech you for the Apostle saith plainly not in the words that mans wisdome teacheth I understand an naturall man that hath but the light of nature may be taught the Latine and Greeke tongue by his tutors instructions but the Apostle saith in the 14 verse The naturall man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God neither can he know them for they are foolishnesse unto him And I have proved it so to be for I have bin this seven yeare among the Clergy in this City and and in the Country to prove that by the coming of Christ in the flesh and his suffering one the Crosse and the power of his resurection he hath ransomed his people quite off from the old Law and Testament which is the bondage of death and corruption But unto this day I can find but one man among them all that will beleeve the plaine
