cleansing by fire the fire of God is a cleanser he burneth up the wicked and bringeth sinners to repentance how can you be cleansed from sin without the blood of Jesus he is not divided from the Father I and my Father are one saith Christ and he that dwells in God dwells in Love where is your Love to one another you sell the innocent for money ye make the righteousness of Christ of no effect in your account when you say you can redeeme Souls for money Money is your portion and your reward Your plagues shall be doubled yea verily your plagues shall be doubled for your Life is deceit and abomination before the Lord For ever are you condemned if you do not repent and turn unto the Lord and his light minde that you may see where you are and what you do that all things may be known to be the fruits of darkness which is not wrought in God God is a worker of wonders in the hearts of them who dread his presence and tremble at his word his word you know not neither do you regard it and yet you say you work wonders where are your wonders do you know that that leads to righteousness and holyness and cleanseth the heart from corruption your hearts are corrupted in wickedness and yet you say you work wonders and miracles It is a miracle to change from death to life but where have you changed any Are not you desperately wicked when you tolerate and allow of murder and make your Steeple-houses a refuge for murder and you call it the Sanctuary of God and say that it is a holy place where is the place that is holy saith the Lord You have builded Temples and worshiped Idols you are Lyers you worship a Den of thieves You have stoln your Prerogative from the Devill the father of lyes and you are subject to him who is a Prince of darkness Darkness hath possessed your hearts you
