for he is my younger Brother's Son Thus saith JEHOVAH I have sent unto him by breathings and he will contemne me even before Men and Angels Therefore saith the LORD Write this man and his whole issue to destruction every one onely in Clapool is somewhat found This is wrote the 12 day of the first Month commanded by JEHOVAH AB signifying the deliverance of my people the Jews Now I shall declare unto the whole earth the cause both of my burning and breaking my Sword Pistols and Musket and the spoiling the Barrel of Powder as also the burning the Bible termed the Word of GOD by ignorants not knowing GOD. And if any Man do wonder at its burning it is because his soul knoweth not the LORD that bought him and further his Name is not write in the book of life for all wonder and marvel and admiration it is until CHRIST be come but when Faith is planted wonderment sesseth GOD reigns Man is made obedient then as he made an idol depending upon that dead Letter Christ is the living life of righteousness which is the spiritual life invalved under them dark expressions and when CHRIST is come the Soul is Gospel GOD's voice is sounded the new Creation erected Adam restored to his first sight There is the whole Mystery of the Gospel's History these Words are true Scripture The Letter killeth but the Spirit of JESUS CHRIST is life eternal opening dark dead men into the Communion with the Father Therefore all People Tongues and Nations Know That I did not burn the BIBLE in contempt of GOD or in contempt of its Record from GOD for then I had condemned my own life which is framed in obedience unto that litteral expression but thus I had made an Idol of the BIBLE because its living life was not then rose in me although thus much I had offered for the glory in the Gospel contained Thus I forsook my Trade made Restoration according to God's command upon me forsook all glory of this World went out from men became a Nazarite unto God yet all this was but short TAke notice people who amongst you are come thus far and all people know you are no neerer GOD then light is to darkness for all your praying preaching nor hearing but so far as in Truth you practice GOD's command and you must be in the Faith of JESUS before any obedience can stand and this work doth wholly undoe mans wisdom and inlets GOD's righteousness If you say I burned the word of GOD. I say the Word of GOD cannot be burned for it's GOD's Righteousness in my Soul planted and unto Men by my life declared in these Words Sell all that you have and give unto the poor and follow me Do you not all know this to be true Scripture No it is not true in you until you in obedience so act that the life of GOD may reign in your mortal bodyes for ye are to be wholly clean in Body Soul and Spirit and this Trial I state to try you by yea most have high Names in your mouths but whose heart is freed from covetousness ye see GOD is holy are ye not lustful who amongst you all doth know one woman onely for production of life but ye are whore-masters and whores saith Jehovah that do know and not bring forth THus saith GOD The dogs and toads are that you count the basest in the Creation is cleaner then all men and woman under heaven for they act onely for life and ye for your abominable lusts Thus take notice what can be begotten after he childe doth in the wombe testifie the act But thus saith God he will cleanse the earth from all this beastly lust by fire by sword by famine by plague and pestilence and scropian diseases till it be consumed unto his beautiful State which the burning the Lord's tent doth configurate for all things of never so great worth or curiosity will God destroy until he come unto his state of beauty and that is his own righteousness which will be Christ's reign a thousand yeers according to the record for every word must have spiritual fulfilling and litteral also which is Monarch the fifth the Jews Lords the earth restored for Jehovah shall reign on Mount Sion and the holy Law shall go forth of Jerusalem NOw I shall declare the truth of Jehovahs command unto me thus three dayes before I came down to the House the name I know not by reason of its Castrophe ing ing ing thus my body fainted and my spirit in me retained scarce strength to move my frame then my teeth beat in my head as the fiercest ague that ever fell on man my knees smote together my hands quaked and my water fell from me for the presence of God was terrible unto me then came the word of Jehovah and said unto me go down and slay the rebels against me and make sharp thy sword for they have broken their Covenants and stand with their swords saying we will break our Covenants in which our souls are bound unto God then I cryed O Lord wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked and the Lords wrath was kindled against me and and said go execute my wrath on the rebels against me Then the Lord commanded to burn his Tent onely save the Tent staff and burn the Priests garments with all that I had whereupon I began to burn many things and my own books for all books do but image the life of some thing from the life expressing the true thing and are dead idols when you come to dy what good can all the written books in the world do you they are but dead letters nay living men cannot save you and except Jesus Christ dwell in you yea are reprobates for he onely is the word of God that was made flesh and he is the reconciler unto the father I and my Father are one so the Scripture and the word of God abideth for ever and cannot be divided but it doth divide all dividings and indraw all dividings into one unity Satis Rex Then the Lord said when I was burning and got men to help me Stay thine hand thy sacrifice is accepted then I burnt no more the multitude began to rage and I said may not I do what I will with my own and I brought my gown and before all the people this was my shrine of shift in and by my trade I did cheat and cozen the people and threw it in the fire and said whosoever doth not in all he doth perserve every mans good equall with his own is a thief and a murderer which is but thus much Love thy neighbor as thy self this is the Gospel where it is acted and the day before I came over and returned back because they were gone and that night the Lord did command me to hire two pair of Oars the one to carry me over to stay on me both till I came back and give them twelve shillings for
their day and said unto them it is the King of Israels pay and know I cannot go over under so hath the Lord commanded me when I come by water and my pay and purse would scarce before given two pence This is the truth Jehovah is my witness now when I had don burning the people did rage so that I was fain to go to boat with my sword drawn and one Rowle Tichburn with me and I borrowed an old sword for him to have in his hand but he knew nothing at all onely my safty from the people that did stone us in the boat and I cannot go without a a gard by reason of the heathen rage and imagine a vain thing then I came thinking I had my petition but it was left on the table at home and I came into the Loby and spake to Master Hull that he would help me to deliver it and he said any scivile curtesie he would do but I must give it to a Member and I said I know no men their presently I went down by the Lords command for he said their was not enough for all should hear that the godly might fear Then I went down unto the house and had two mess of broth and two pots of Ale for Tichburn and my self then I was commanded by Jehovah for to go and comming to the door the door-keeper of the Loby pressed me betwixt the door and the wall whereupon I came in I sliped of my cloak and drew my sword and ran at him so hard that the point came within a foot of the hand and would not enter then I swange my sword round about to have killed all that was nigh me then I run to the door and strock it with my foot and then they gat hold on me and threw me down and took away my sword and committed me now since God hath shewn me his meaning which is thus he gideth and governeth all things and caused me to preach his wrath that is kindled against you all to cut you off clean from the earth onely for a small seed of his spirit detracted it but as Jehovah lives if they separate not themselves you shall all fall together because the Lord caused me to preach to them the danger they are in with the hazard of my life Lift not up your heads ye rebellious sons of wrath for thus saith Jehovah that I shall with that sword and my stasse although it would not cut them I shall fight with an hundred of Baals champions I mean the chief Covenant-breakers those that robbed the souldier of his due earned wages or them that felloniously stole the faith of the Nation with the promting prating Priests and by this combate the whole earth shall know who is God Thau Rex Israel let Jehovah raign over all rebellious flesh But my hand shall not touch any of you except as is stated and for this let all people that fear the Lord praise the Lord that hath tryed his Anointed unto the death and yet hath kept his hand from the life taking away of any one and though my hands shall be clean you shall not escape Jehovah hath sworn it therefore you that fear the Lord assembly not your selves for lucre nor any end for if ye will not hear by Jehovah when God doth bring the man slayer he shall make no difference because you have been warned and ye harden your necks against the holy God that would save you Take warning take warning take warning fear tremble and depart their place and company least ye be partakers of their plagues Now all people see your liberty by my president amongst wicked men your lord rulers by their own unjust laws they sent for me to examine me before a Committee and some friends were at prison and went along with me but because of their wickedness they are fearful of every winde and according to their wills establish for our English laws no man must hear me examined but one or two pressed in The first queries were frivolus as where I lived and had I not been at Rome and my clothes did did trouble them and they asked me who gave me money for my clothes I answered by their asking that question they were free from charity for they were to clothe the naked and feed the hungry Then they did aske why were my sleeves so laced I said it was the Glob in the foure Spheres holdment and I told them that they were no wiser then before The next was why was the cullor green I said it was the ancient Forrester of England all people take notice and I did and would claim the whole Forrest land of Albian now named England in my predecessors Barron Toni then people crowded in and they were afraid to sit any longer I appeal unto their consciences Then at night when none could know I was sent for and no man but themselves there then they asked me where they left then came the Spirit of God upon me and gave me both courage and wisdom for God never fails if you one him surely depend then I said I would declare the Lords word my command faithfully and then they could not have any power to harm me but if I should keep back one word then their spirits would enter upon me to harm me And this is the word from Jehovah that came unto Theauraujon Taunijah now named from Jehovah Thau Rex Israel These words I said before them the Lord commanded me to come down saying GO SLAY THE RECELS AGAINST ME for they have broken their Covenants and stand with their swords in their hands saying we will break all our Covenants with the Lord unto whom our souls stand bound Then I said Lord will thou slay the godly with the wicked Then one of the Members of their own making said what Covenant have we broken Answ Then I said thus saith the Lord do not ask what Covenant have you broken but what one of all them Covenants your souls stand bound unto God have you kept Then they answered and said this man can preach yea said I five times three times at Eltham and two times at Lambeth and now your Funeral Sermon for thus saith the Lord ye are accursed before Jehovah and he will cut you off root and branch for have you not condemned to death and your selves raign by the same law Then they said Why is my Lord Protectors wayes perverse and accursed before God Thus God hath shewn me that ye all are but my Lord Protector minde you all and the rest are but my Lord Protector for know you all that except you write his coppy you cannot sit here Then they said how should they know it was the word of God that I spake Thus said I shall ye know it if my words do not smite you and ye are righteous men then my words are from the divel wright me this down this is mine then the Chairman wrote the words I repeating them Thus shall you
