A45518	The nations claim of native right Wherein the gross and extreme defection and injustice of the court martial, and of all courts; the destructive abuse of the law, and pressing necessity, that the nation speedily unite (as one man) for an agreement in righteousness, is by particular example, and an appeal to the general councel of the army, and by several considerations cleerly demonstrated and proved. Secondly, the nullity of order, matter, and form of a free people is asserted, and proved by scripture: and how (to persons, families, people, and churches) right order, matter, and form may be attained. Thirdly, a brief pourtraict of a right government of the nation, and agreement of the people; and how such government and agreement may be with ease attained; a new representative freely elected: the laws rectified: the poor relieved: and the peoples, and armies, and every particular persons just interests (in peace with truth) satisfied, is proposed to the nation.

spirits to serve under all barbarous calamities and bloudy wickedness of blind obedience the vi●est vassals of slavery as the sons of Jacob sold their brother the preserver of their lives and beings into the house of bondage They must in all their motions and actions walk and act in the liberty of the light of God in their own spirits and not act or acquiesce from principles of an implicite-faith in the Arbytrarie commands of will and power in any Representative or person whatsoever It is small satisfaction or security to any man that may see if he will but will follow and be led by a blind man till both fall into a ditch and perish to think to say for himself a blind man led him and it was his own will and he would be led by him So if any sub-Officers Souldiers or others shall execute any unjust decree by order of or from any Commanders or Representatives whatsoever the plea of their order were weak and without all satisfaction They must not think their Officers command if unjust can free them or their Officers from the just doom and due penalty of the Law no more then a murderers plea at the Bar that his fellow robber commanded him to kill the murdered can quit him or his fellow from guilt of murder or from death due to murderers Neither may any person or persons or Representatives Courts or Councels vainly conceive that any imposed Trust Place or Office or personal Eminency or that their being many is or can be of any force to free them more then any one privat mean man from due punishment though it be death which the Law inflicteth for breach of it or to free any person or persons whom they employ from the like punishments Howbeit the Free-born of God in Army or Nation Officers Souldiers or private men that groan under the cursed burdens of bloudy wickedness and barbarous oppressions which they have born themselves or laid upon others if they seek earnestly and effectually endeavour the redemption of their bodies and spirits and to free others from the same bondage whereof the Israelites bondage in Aegypt and deliveranoe out of it was but a type and shaddow may and ought to be in some measure commiserated and their cruelties time past if utterly renounced and really repented of may be so far passed by as the Law can admit also some unjust actions o● infirmity and weakness so far only as may stand with law and equity may be born withal God keeps not the children of light in chains of darkness but willeth that all men should be saved from cursed servitude and bondage of body and spirit by coming unto and following after the pillar of God the knowledge of the Truth in their own Judgements and Spirits and that they walk and act at all times and in all relations in the light of this pillar of fire within them Wherefore let all the Free-born of God in the Army and Nation cast off the wicked burdens of cursed and blind obedience to Representatives Arbytrarie commands of Will and Power and fix the eys of their understandings upon the pillar of God in their own Judgements and Spirits Let them seriously consider in and with themselves and with one another the grounds of all their actions engagements and executions and be well advised and satisfied in their Spirits to what end and where unto they tend whether to liberty or bondage light o● darkness to Zion or Sinai whether they be works of Hagar o● Sarah Sem or Cham and whether they tend to enslave oppress and wrong themselves the people and Nation and other persons people or Nations or to right and free themselves and Nation and other Nations from slavery wrong and oppression Let them improve the most rich and precious Talent of their Birth-right and Freedom to debate dispute pleade question and examine the causes grounds and terms upon which they act engage or execute any thing Eph. 5.15 And in all things walk circumspectly not as fools but as wise Heb. 15.14 And as those that are of full age who by reason of perfection and use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil Let them consider their Representatives Propositions Counsels and Decrees whether they be just or unjust whether they are to be observed by them or to be reproved or punished in their Representatives whether they tend to involve them and the Land in bloud and massacre or to free it and them from it If Chams cursed Sons compel or perswade them to forsake Freedom and imbrace bondage to mo●l themselves by doing all base and dirty drudgery of vile and servil wickedness and to wallow in all unjust and extream wants and cursed calamities caused by unjust oppressions and cruelties let them fix their eyes upon the pillar of God in their own Spirits and walk in the light of it and follow after it If they command them to couch under all burdens of cursed servitude and to be with them as they are servants of servants slaves of servile and blind obedience and bruitish ignorance to act from an implicite Faith in their usurping task-masters arbritary commands of Will and Power to kill and murder at their command their best and most faithful friends and fellow Souldiers to enterprize any bloudy act of massacre and slaughter upon each other or upon the nation to perpetrate and execute at their command all oppression and crueltie upon the nation and through wicked blindness and brutish ignorance upon and against themselves also and to involve the nation at their wills in new Wars to destroy it and themselves Let them renounce and detest such cursed servitude and cast off slavish bondage of such blind obedience and fix their eyes upon the pillar of God the pillar of light and truth in their own Spirits and let them walk in the liberty of that light Let them try all things and hold fast the truth for this liberty is the proper peculiar and most rich and precious Talent of all the free-born of God which God hath given them Therefore let them try and examine with all exactness in themselves and advise together whether the light in their own Spirits be the light of the pillar of God or a delusion and whether it be the light of truth or a lying dream in their own fancies For if it be a true light to discover the truth of God and if they walk in that light and follow after that truth it will be certainly and infallibly a pillar of support and deliverance to free them from the most extensive and deepest guilt of bloudy and desperate wickedness and from the fruit and reward of such bloudy wickedness the most cruel and accursed calamities and destruction of bodie and Spirit All that observed and followed the commands of Chams cursed sons being free from danger before were drawn into a sea of death and destroyed not one escaped All Israel that observed and followed the

are dis-inabled to discharge their Places or to do service By this means the Faith of the Nation is grossely abused and perfidiously infringed and broken and the Nation made guilty of defrauding and of oppressing its preservers guilty of most unnatural cruelty and injustice guilty of re-involving it self into this last new War wherein it was brought to the very brink of extremity to be utterly lost and destroyed By these means they are guilty of causing all the Treasure that hath been spent and all the Bloud that hath been spilt in this Nation to establish righteousness to be spent and spilt to no purpose or to establish oppression and unrighteousness By this means they make themselves and the Nation guilty of all the scarcity famine poverty persecutions cruelties bloudshed oppressions and sicknesses thereof ensuing which have been caused by this last War and yet these causes are not taken away and the means are not yet removed By these means they unjustly imbitter the conscientious and honest party and exasperate others and kill and murder them for being justly imbittered and exasperated They Level the object of their wicked and unjust Jealousies and Fears their real and best and most faithful friends suppor●ers and preservers by aspersing and slandering them falsely as the men of Belial did Naboth to destroy them They Level them by with-holding straw their due pay the slender pittance and fuel of their lives and beings Howbeit these the true Israel the free born of God the object of Chams sons cursed fears and of their desires to Level and Destroy them have ever been under God their causeless persecutors levellers and oppressors preservers and the freers of them from all plagues and destruction at all times and they themselves the greatest oppressors persecutors levellers and destroyers of their own supporters and preservers but indeed of themselves that ever were in the world Lastly Pharoah and his servants were set upon their wicked purpose to oppress level and destroy Israel by believing the lying words and works of Sorcerers So these are set upon their wicked purpose to oppress level and destroy the true Israel by harkening to real Sorcerers and seducers The Sorcerers of Egypt resisted Moses sent to deliver Abrahams free born from Egyptian bondage These resist the true Moses Christ sent to deliver the true Israel the free born of God from real misery and bondage in body and Spirit The works of God by Moses were true Miracles real Righteousness and types of true Righteousness For example The Egyptians thirsting the bloud of their supposed Levellers but real Supporters drowned their Males in rivers therfore all rivers and waters of Egypt were turned to bloud that they and their cattel could drink no water but bloud and this work of God by Moses was a work of true Righteousness and a type of a more perfect righteousnes of the true Moses Christ 2 The Fishes which in these rivers are more various and monstrous then in any rivers in the world fed upon the flesh and bloud of the Israelites new born infants therefore in a type of Justice the fishes had rivers of bloud given them and nothing but bloud to drink and feed upon therefore the fish died and the rivers stank 3 The Egyptians regarded not the just Petitions cryes and complaints of the afflicted Israelites nor the pitious cryes of their perishing Male children whom they drown'd in the rivers therefore Frogs a helpless naked and unarmed also a clamorous and crying creature came up out of the Rivers into their houses and bed-chambers and covered their Land as it were so many millions of witnesses attesting to their faces and with loud voyces proclaiming their bloudy cruelties and oppressions As the naked and unarmed condition and helpless innocence of the new born infants cast into these Rivers was remonstrant to the eyes of the Egyptians in this creature so these creatures were a type of the helpless and miserably naked and stript poor 4 The Egyptians did eate up the afflicted poor of the Land like bread and did grind them to dust therefore the dust of Egypt a type also of the poor was turned into Lice and did eate the flesh of the Egyptians Where the peoples Representatives oppress and destroy the people of God the plague of Frogs follows and innumerable helpless and naked poor cover the Land and fill the houses and bed-chambers of their oppressors with loud clamours petitions cryes and complaints If oppressors will not hear the cryes of the people of God nor of their miserable murdered male children nor the cryes of the poor the plague of Lice follows and the dust of Egypt the poor of the Land turned into Lice eate the flesh of their oppressors Their corruption and cruel oppression bred them and they must feed them These plagues and all the rest were not upon Abrahams free-born the Israelites but upon the Egyptians their oppressors And these plagues in the truth and substance will not fall upon those that in sincerity seek Freedom from Bondage but upon their oppressors that seek to enslave level and destroy them These and all the Miracles which God wrought by Moses were true Miracles and likewise works of real Justice and types of true Righteousness tending to deliver Israel from the most bloudy and cruel bondage and oppressions that ever were But the lying miracles of the Magicians and Sorcerers were false and imposterous works tending to harden Pharoahs and his servants hearts in their wicked purpose to oppress and destroy their own preservers afflicted and oppressed Israel 5 The lying miracles of the Magicians and Sorcerers which they wrought before Pharoah and his servants falsely shaddowed forth the true Miracles of Moses and were miracles in shew not in substance seemingly not indeed in appearance but not in truth 6 The words and works of Pharoah and his servants by be lieving the lying words and works of Magicians and Sorcerers became like theirs falsely shaddowing forth the true words and works of Moses and were just and true words and works it shew not in substance seemingly not indeed in appearance bu● not in truth For Pharoah and his servants were willing to le●● Israel go seemingly but did indeed enslave and suppress them They repented and were sorry for all the evils they did to Israel seemingly but indeed endeavoured to oppress level and destro● them They were mighty forward that Israel should go out fre● seemingly but did indeed pursue them to destroy them and 〈◊〉 take all that was theirs So the words and works of those that seek to level and destro● the free born and the words and works of their heart-hardenin● Sorcerers and seducers are sorceries falsely shaddowing forth th● true works of Righteousness wrought by the true Moses Chris● and his members and are just and righteous in shew not 〈◊〉 substance seemingly not indeed in appearance but not in trut● They are forward to promote Justice and favour just me seemingly but indeed oppose Justice

A token is a signe or seale This signe or seale was in blood and the life and power of all living creatures is in the blood Therefore that seal was a typical seal of the life and power of God in his people The Anti-type and substance of that Typical seale is the seale of God upon the foreheads of his People Rev. 7.3 These are numbred 144000. ver 4. But whether Persons or Families the letter doth not clearly determine Israel were sealed by their Families Israels Families were Natural and Typical and these Anti-typical if Families may be mystical freely gathered to Representors in the life and power of God they were Israel these are Israel they were twelve tribes these are twelve Tribes vers 4.5 The Egyptians were not slain till they were sealed the earth must not be hurt till these be sealed vers 3. God past over them and did not destroy them when he smote the Land of Egypt and these are exempted and redeemed from the destruction of the earth v. 14.3 They were the Typical Free-born these the true Free-born They were redeemed from Egyptian bondage and destruction these from the slavery sins plagues and destruction of Sodom Egypt Babylon and Ierusalem they Typically these Really and truly They sung a Song of deliverance Moses Song these sung a New Song of deliverance the Song of Moses and of the Lambe Exod. 15. Revel 15.14 That seale was an outward Typical seale of the life and power of God in his People this seale is the Name of God written in their foreheads Revel 14.1 This Name or seale of God written in their foreheads is an outward real indicies and signe in their practise that they are armed sealed and united in the life and power of God that was the seale or signe of the Typical Passe-over this of the real and true Passe-over The Israelites sealed were Gods first born in a Type that is his first fruits redeemed by a Lamb unto himself and these are redeemed from among men and are the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. Rev. 14.4 That Mark Seal and Name which is opposite and contrary to the Seal and Name of God written in the foreheads of his people is the mark and name of the beast in their foreheads or hands that worship the beast Rev. 13.16 and 14.9 This name of the beast is the seal of slavery the mark of bondage and the manifestation of the life and power of the beast in profession or practise which is the power of Antichrist working unto bondage against Christ as the Sorcerers resisted Moses Seventhly All the Congregation of Israel was commanded to keep the Passe-over v. 49. and they kept it as the Lord commanded So all the true Israel that is all the people of God must speedily prepare and observe the true Pass-over All that shall not faithfully prepare and observe the true Pass-over that is all that shall not manifest the life and power of God in the unity of the spirit of freedom from all bondage and destruction are really as all they were in the Type that did not Aegyptians sons of Cham children of the curse improvident for their own and all families deny the faith of God and have no power of God nor any seal or sign of it but are ruled and governed by the spirit of bondage unto all sins slavery and destruction of body and spirit Secondly All the people or God must speedily prepare and observe the true Pass-over because as God past through all Aegypt and smote all the first born both of man and beast in every family where the Type was not kept so God will as certainly pass through the earth and smite all Families where the life and power of God appears not in the unity of the spirit of freedom and visit upon it and them not Aegypts but Sodoms and Babels and back-sliding Jerusalems sins and the bloud of all that have bin slain upon the earth and the bloud of all that have bin wronged and oppressed and the blasphemous atheistical sortish and brutish opinions and practises of hypocrites and formal professors upon it and them and the breach of faith in those that have broken their just faith to God and man and their defections that have fallen from all righteousness and from all life and power of it and their unrighteousness that have kept righteousness and truth and goodness in relation to spiritual forms and things in bondage and chains of darkness and ignorance in their own judgements upon them and it and involve the earth in circum-ambient and sharp destruction sharp as sickles Rev. 14.16 17.

to labor with all speed and fidelity to g●t a just power of Freedom and Being of their own in manner as is declared All Armies upon earth could not hinder the rallying of the dry bones into a living exceeding mighty Army They came together bone to his bone as it were by their Families into their own houses natural their own bodies and were sealed and cemented with strength and sinew in life and power All Armies and Powers of death that opposed them were utterly dasht in pieces and destroyed by them Moses in bondage lookt this way and that way least he should be seen and the people of God in bondage must act warily and watch narrowly if they do any good or just action if they relieve any or support any that none see them If any Doeg or Edomite be nigh them or amongst them they are verily betrayd utterly destroyed and so must and shall be till they get a power of Freedom of their own the Free power of God which now is the easiest thing to atttain God freely giving it that is or can be But this relief and support so dangerous to the people of God is but vain boasting they releive none and support none but in talk as the Amalekit told David he kild Saul whereas he was free from his death so are they from relieving or supporting any David slew that Amalekit because he said he kild Saul though he did not and they and their Families and estates are ruinated and destroyed because they say and pretend they relieve and support the people of God in and against their evils of bondage whereas they releive none and support none but in word only and indeed destroy those that have sacrificed liberally their lives and estates for their support and relief The Spirit of bondage inward avaric● and the irregularities and rage of it kills and consumes as the worm smote Ionas Gourd and consumed it the slavish lives families and estates of each other with their own entire they releive and succour none but by deceits and shaddows of doing good without doing any But if any fragment of relief fall or if they fancy they have done or do any good or just work in bondage there they rest and there they stay Ioabs soldiers followed him till they came to slain Amases dying carkass and they stood still so but few yet some Free people in bondage follow righteousness until they come to some fragments of this dead carkass of releif and support in bondage and here they sit still there they rest they go no further The chief pretenders to Freedom look no farther they think not of any legitimate and perfect righteousness of Freedom out of bondage The slavish Spirits of the people of God in bondage desire private Freedom only a tanto but not a toto If they could have but so much of their just Right for themselves they care not they wish no more the Harlot so she had but half the Child was indifferent the mind of a murderous and bloody Harlot so satisfaction in the people of God with half righteousness or part or with imperfect righteousness denotes the basest mind of bloody Iezebel mother of all abominations and filthyness So long as Israel were of this wicked and base mind and demanded no more then Freedom in part their cruel burdens and ridged slavery was justly greater and they were never freed nor fit for deliverance till Moses demanded all and they accordingly acted with him and had all their Rights entire All imperfect righteousness whatsoever is impostury and deceit of the curse of bondage and a main cause of rejection and destruction to those that do it or joyning rest in it as Sauls imperfect righteousness was the cause of his utter rejection and of his and his whole Families destruction All true righteousness is of Freedom only a fruit of the tree of life from death for ever a freeing righteousness so soon as the creatures that came into the Ark did but one work of Freedom out of bondage they were all freed from destruction So soon as the Israelites did but that one work of Freedom out of bondage in coming by their Families into their own houses c. they were all freed from destruction and so soon as the people of God shall perform but this one work of Freedom out of bondage which is to come out of great tribulations reall bondage by their Anti-typical Families into their Oeconomick bodies and houses mystical they shall be freed from all coercive externall power of bondage destruction sin and death for ever these works were the first fruits of the Tree of life in a Type this work shall be the first fruit of the Tree of life prefigured When man Christ mystical shall put forth his hand and taste this legitimate and perfect fruit of the righteousness of Freedom out of bondage he shall live in the power of life and Freedom of God for ever and never be wholy subjected to vanity corruption and death of bondage any more The people of God and their righteousness shall be perfect after their pattern their mother the new Policy or City descending that City shall be four square equally without convex or indents every way and on every side exactly just and even Secondly the height and bredth and length of that City shall be equal So the reallity of things what they are and the judgments and estimations of the people of God upon them and their executions according to their iust estimations shall be exactly paral or equal Thirdly that City shall be perfectly square the most firm pattern of immovable stability So shall they and their righteousness be permanent in a progressive way in the righteousness of Freedom for ever and not generally revolt any more but if any as particular persons shall look back they shall return back and cease to be the people of God Lots wife delivered out of Sodom lookt back and returned back to destruction They that look back unto the horour of darkness of bondage shall return back unto that horour of darkness Nothing so displeased God as the spirit of apostacy and slavery in his people in looking back unto the house of bondage the land of their destruction after they were delivered out of it The Free people of God indeed must and will constantly press forward in the power of perfect and legitimate righteousness of Freedom and follow after Rev 14.4 and be led by the Lamb wheresoever he goeth I have herein as in the sight of God discharged my Faith Faithfulness reapes what it doth not sow destruction to those that are Faithful but this God disposeth The sequel to my self whether love or hatred bonds or liberty life or death I leave to God it is sufficient for me If I may by all meanes discharge my duty and disoblige my Conscience FINIS ERRATA
