the Dragons power she rules And out of this Beasts power have your false Prophet gone crooking up and down the Nations and creeping under the Mountain like Froggs the unclean spirits and these spirits are Devils that came out of the Mouth of the Beast and false Prophet that should work Miracles and deceive the World But a day of Famine will come and Plague and Death to this Life that you live in and flaming Fire for strong is the Lord God that judgeth her the great Whore and false Church her smoak is seen and we know that you will begin to knaw your tongues for Pain for your Kingdom is full of Darkness For the Angel hath Power over your Thrones and your Rivers will be dried up which is muddy Water For hath not your City bin divided into three parts and the Turk got one part and the Protestants another And all your noisom Smells begin to smell who have the Beasts Mark in your Fore-heads and have worshipped his Image that have been out of the Image of Christ and so the Lord is True and Righteous in his Judgments for he hath judged the great Whore which hath corrupted the Earth with her Forhication and will avenge the blood of his Servants at your hands she hath corrupted the Earth with her Idols and Idolatries and Inventions and Fables and so we are come through the Light of Christ Jesus above her by which we see the Heavenly Jerusalem the true Spouse the Lambs Wise Christ the Head the true Church and the new Earth wherein dwells Righteousness and your old Earth which the Devil compasseth wherein dwells Unrighteousness filled with Idolatry and Corruption and filthiness of flesh and spirit that which cumbers the Ground fruitless Trees that have born no Fruit to God The Gates of our City Heavenly Jerusalem are not shut neither by Night nor Day but any that come to the Light of Christ Jesus they may enter through the Light into our City which is far above your Mystery Babylon false City false Church VVhore Dragon false Prophet which hath been the Drinker of the Blood of the Righteous Persecutors and Murderers by the Devils power and authority which Christ who is our Head comes to destroy who was before the Devil was and will be when the Devil is gone who was First and Last the Beginning and End the Top and Corner-Stone who is our Rock which our House is built upon and our Foundation upon which we are built Glory to God in the Highest for evermore And now to something further VVhereas you tell us a long Tale of Anaxagoras a Philosopher you have just hit your own Condition for it suits your present Condition and it is a very fit Comparison for you who would make People believe you can make a godd and christ and make a head for your Body the POPE and so deceive people as he makes people believe That the Snow was Black and the Sun was a broad Plate of Nettal And so you are so perverse in Nature though you are confuted and convinced in your Consciences you will not be brought from your Error as before mentioned and out of your Seditious and Erronious wayes and so you have gone about to confound Truth but it is too hard for you for the Devil is out of it And as for your prophane Impiety you say we draw people to that is your own Condition and Jewish Fables and Heathens also you may find enough of them at home in your own Houses and Fields nay worse then the Iews It seems you cry out That we Disturb the Tranquility of the Christian Religion Nay it is your false Religion which you have made who are a Seditious Sect who are erred from the Pure Religion that is above that keeps from the Spots of the World which is to visit the Fatherless Widdows and Strangers and you instead of this cast into Prison and let your Poor go Begging up and down your Streets and Fatherless and Widdows as look into France and other Parts And if you were in this Religion which you as a Seditious Sect are erred from which would keep you from the Spots of the World which is pure from above and undefiled before God you would not tell people of a Purgatory And so the pure Religion we stand for against all your false Ones and every one among us may Minister as they have received the Grace as good Stewards and they may all Prophesie one by one And God hath poured out his Spirit upon his Sons and Daughters and Hand-maids and Young-men and Old men that every one hath somewhat to offer to God but this is a Strange Paradox to your false Church and seditious Sect that are erred from the Apostles who limit your Preaching to such as have got the Natural tongues and so Nebuchadnezar like whom you please you set up and whom you please you pull down and whom you please you open their Mouths and whom you please you stop them and they that would not Bow at the sound of your PIPE and ORGAN you cast into the Fire Nebuchadnezar like But this is a Strange Paradox you can make Ministers as you can make a Christ and a Godd one like the other out of Truth an● so in so doing deny the true Ministers and the true Christ and God who is to be worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth which Christ set up above 1600 years since and since you have forsaken Christ that is worshipped in the Spirit and in the Truth you compel others do not you so who is the same to day yesterday and forever But from this Infallible Worship that Christ s●t up in the Spirit and in the Truth which the Devil is out of are you erred from the Spirit and Truth become a Seditious Sect an Erronious and Schismatical Sect and Persecuting the true Worshippers of the living God in Spirit and Truth which Truth and Spirit is within by which Spirit the God of Truth is known It seems John Stubbs and James Lancaster have sorely angred that Seditious Sect of Rome And whereas thou tellest us of Phanatick Assertions which we are clear of but thou mayst look at home for that and take in thy old fathers Puddles of Errors and Blasphemies which we deny And as for Phanatick is there a People more like them in the World then you in Rage and Fury and Madness against the Righteous for your Godd you have made and your Images and Idols and Fables And have you not tewed your selves about them as much as ever Tubal did about the godds they made For the Spirit of God is Gentle and Meek and so your Phanatick Humours have sufficienly spoken forth themselves to the Nations And whereas thou speakest That we have rightly tituled the Mother Church of Rome the Old-Woman ☞ Though thou hast got some Glory in it which seems to paint thee off a little but thou shouldst have taken all our words The Mother Church
over them and Authority over them and are called Gratious Lords it must not be so amongst you Here you slight Christ's words in making a Head and setting up your Gratious Lords your Popes to exercise Lordship over the People in dispite against Christs Command and so plainly manifest an Antichrist a Schismatick and a Sect degenerated from the true Brotherhood and true Head and he that will be the Greatest must be as the Least he that is Chiefest as he that Serveth c. and so he brings to an even rule And in many places it is plain that Peter never took the Headship to himself as your counterfeit Head hath done in opposition to the True Church and true Christ in dispite against him and this makes no Contradiction for the Chiefest must be as he that Serveth and the Greatest as the Least this cuts off your Lordship for the Scribes and Pharisees were reproved for that And thou bringest an Argument to prove that Peter was Head of the Apostles though the Apostles sent him Thou sayest Though the Father sent the Son yet to say that the Father hath greater Power then the Son thou sayest is Blasphemy Christ saith of Him That his Father is Greater then He John 14.28 and that was no Blasphemy in Christ And how was he Greater was it not in Power Yet we tell thee again that the Father and Son is one according to his Divinity he is God and God was in Christ and according to the Flesh he Suffered it was not God that Suffered that Died the Eternal God but Christ Suffered according to the Flesh as the Scripture declares for what God was that Christ prayed to and said Father if it be possible let this Cup pass from me but not my Will but they Will But these things are a Mystery to you and your dark spirits who it seems are ignorant of the Scriptures neither are the Holy Men of Gods words fit to come into your Mouths And whereas thou sayest Christ would have I relates to be humble People Look over the Popes Church and what Humility do you see Are not your Women full of Spots and the Pope with his Tripple-Crown and their Gorgious Attire Was this like Mary the Mother of Jesus who was brought to Bed in a Stable and laid Jesus in the Mainger Now we shall hardly have room in your Stable but in your Fires and Inquisitions for the Devil would Destroy True Christianity throughout the Earth who is become a false Christian in you but Christ will brake the ●e●d of hi● And if Peter was at Rome yet he was not Pope over all the Churches nor any of his Disciples nor none of Peters Follower all these things will not cover your Seditious Head nor this Catalogue of Bishops that were set up not for the first Six Hundred Years after Christ there was no Universal Pope all that time till as I said before Boniface the third was set up by Phocas the Murderer and after came in the Turk and then came in the Devil that hath filled your Cup to the brim with a Raging spirit and a Murdering spirit And thou sayest the truth of this Succession is gathered out of Matthew which proves nothing at all of this to you for your counterfeit Church hath been prevailed against by them which worship Mahomet Christ was with Peter to the end of his dayes and with all them that be in his Spirit the Spirit of Christ Jesus But what is this to you who have erred from Peter's Spirit and are got into a Murderous spirit who Persecute People to Death for your Rudiments Peter did not Persecute People for not owning Christ nor for not following Idols or images the Works of mens hands Another false Cover these Papists have which they daub People with concerning Peters being Head of the Church where it is said in Matth. 16. where Christ asked his Disciples Whom do men say that I am And their Answer was That he was John Baptist some say and others Elias and others Jeremiah or one of the Prophets But he said Whom do you say that I am Peter said Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God And Jesus answered and said unto him Blessed art thou Simon Barjona for Flesh and Blood hath not revealed this to thee I s●y unto thee th●u art Peter and upon this Rock I will build my Church and the Gates of H●ll shall not prevail against it Now if this Church had been built upon Peter as he was a man of Flesh and Blood as you say then when Peter was put to Death the Gates of Hell had prevai'ed then and here the Papists would give Christ the Lye but Christ saith That Flesh and Blood had not revealed this to thee and thou art Peter and upon this Rock will I build my Church That his Flesh and Blood had not revealed unto him thou art Peter And what signifies Peter If Peter signifies a Rock and if Christ built his Church upon the signification of Peter's Sur-name which signifies but an outward Rock which outward Rock may be brought as a Figure of Christ or a Parable or Comparison if it be built upon the Parable it is not built upon the thing it self Must not then all your Popes names be call'd Peter if they be the Rocks of your Church and so your Church must be built upon their Sur-names Now if it be built upon Peter as a man and your Popes as men as you say it is as Flesh and Blood c. then it is built upon the signification of the word Man which is not the signification of Peter's Sur-name but the signification of Man is Adam for Son of Man is Son of Adam as Ben Adam Ben Elohim and Adam signifies Red Earth does it not And so the Interpretation of the Popes Rock is That he built his Church upon Red Earth and Red Earth is not a Rock And what is that which Flesh and Blood hath not revealed Thou art Christ the Son of the Living God and upon this Rock is Christ's Church built that his Flesh and Blood had not revealed and the Gates of Hell shall not preva●l against this Rock Christ Jesus it destroyes the Devil and his works and his Power is over Hell and Death and they are Living Stones that be Members of his Body What is all this to the Popes counterfeit Head and Church which the Gates of Hell have prevail'd against their fleshly Foundation their fleshly Church and their carnal Head which is devilish And thus they have erred and degenerated from the Foundation of the Prophets and Apostles and Christ Jesus being the Top and Corner-Stone for Christ was their Rock the Apostles confessed and the Rock that followed the Jews was Christ And so it is clear that you are the Foolish Builders that have built your House on the Sand the Sea shore and many of your Houses are walled down for they that built up●n the Rock Christ Jesus which Flesh
TO THE POPE And All His Cardinals Bishops Jesuits Monks and Friars with all the rest of his People Who are Reprobates concerning the Faith of Christ Gospel-Order and true Religion And also the Papists prov'd to be a Seditious Sect. BEING Something in Answer to Aeneas Mach. Gilmury and Mauritius Bern who call themselves Students of Art J. L. J. S. Evil Men and Seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived 2 Tim. 3.13 As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses so do these resist the Truth Men of corrupt Minds Reprobates concerning the Faith 2 Tim. 3.8 God shall send them strong Delusions that they should believe a Lye that they all might be damned who believe not the Truth but had pleasure in Vnrighteousness 2 Thes 2.11 12. Printed in the Year 1671. To the POPE and all his Cardinals Bishops Jesuits Monks and Friars with all the rest of his People I Have received a Paper subscribed by Aeneas M. Gillmury and Mauritius Bern who call themselves Students of Arts and both Professors of the Apostolical and Roman Catholique Church which is a pretended Answer to John Stubbs and James Lancaster their Quaeries and Challenges they sent to the Papists and the Pope and his Cardinals and Jesuits c. But all people may see that this is not an Answer but instead of answering they beg the Question and fall a railing and sometimes Daub and Flatter thinking by their daubing and flattering to put out the Eyes of their simple deluded people And these two Papists seem to be much grieved because our Challenge is directed to the Pope and his Cardinals and Jesuits They find fault with our Long-windedness or sounding a Trumpet as a Horn which well we may do to alarum the Pope his Jesuits and Cardinals For we must tell them that we have the Breath of the Almighty which will reach to Rome by which we come to be living Souls And did not the Jesuits and Priests say in Ireland that they had no License from the Pope to answer us and now we have alarum'd the Pope and Cardinals and Friars and Jesuits it is well that he doth confess this is Long-windedness over their muddy breath And now they tell us that they can answer at Home and that we need not send to the Pope but no Answer to our Challenge as the Reader of our Challenge and this Paper may see that their Mouths are stopt and that they cannot maintain their own corrupt Principle nor seditious Sect. And as for your saying that you are both Professors of the Roman-Catholique Church this is false for the Roman-Catholique Church as it was in the Apostles dayes you are degenerated from and are come to be a Seditious Sect and do spread your Heretical Opinions from your Heresies which you have at Rome and are a Schism and Schismatical rent from the Catholique Church of Rome as it was in the Apostles Dayes for Catholique we do understand is Vniversal and are erred from that Universal Power and Faith and Gospel and Spirit that the Apostles were in you are erred from as easie is to be proved 1st You the Church of Rome are a Seditious Sect with all her company and you are found in Herod a Persecutor you are found in Nebuchadnezar a Burner by your Fires you are found in Judas with your Swords and Staves against the Just you are found in Cain with your Envy against the second Birth Abel you are found in Ishmael Scoffing at Isaac you are found to be the Beast and the Whore drinking of the Blood of the Saints that receive not your Mark So Killing Burning Hanging Racking Torturing and Imprisoning this hath been the work of the Church of Rome who is a Seditious Sect who are the Traytors Heady High-minded Self-willed Lovers of Pleasures more then Lovers of God For look upon your proud Prelates Cardinals Jesuits Pope with all his gorgious Robes these are the Wicked Arts which you have invented and are Masters of So its clear that all these Works be the Works of the flesh and of the Devil that bloody wicked Persecutor and not of the Birth born of the Spirit 2dly So I say Here it 's clear you are a Seditious Sect erred from the Faith that works by Love for if you were in that Catholique Faith which belongs to the Catholique Church which is universal you would not tell People of a Purgatory when they are dead for which you have no Scripture we Challenge you to bring a Scripture for it out of your own Bibles or Protestants either And so it is clear here by the second Proof you are erred from the Faith that works by Love that purifies the heart that gives Victory and Access to God by which Faith men please God which is the Fai●h of Gods Elect from this Faith which is Catholique from which the Church of Rome with his Company are erred and are found in the Enmity Madness Folly and Persecution who are Synagogues of Satan that Murderer whose works ye have done and are void of the Faith that works by love and purifies the heart therefore you must have a Purgatery as you say 3dly You are a Seditious Sect for you have transgressed the Command of Christ Jesus who saith Love one another Love Enemies and if any go from you you will hate them you will kill them and if others will not joyn to you you will burn them and destroy them this is the work of a seditious Sect and Hammon like that informed against the Jews that did not follow the National way and like those that informed against Daniel And so it is clear that you are a seditious Sect erred from the Command of Christ Jesus and cast it behind your Backs 4thly You are a Company of Lyars and a Seditious Sect for how can you love God whom you never see and hate your Brethren whom you see daily 5thly You are in the death of old Adam and in the power of death the Serpent who love not your Brother he that hateth his Brother abideth in Death 6thly You are a Seditious Sect for you have persecuted people about Meats Drinks Cloths and outward Crosses your Crucifixes your Bread and Wine and Holy-dayes your eating of Flesh and Fish and Marriages which the Kingdom of God stands not in not Meats nor Drinks nor Dayes but in Righteousness in Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost and so out of the Power of God our of this Righteousness are you all a sedititiou● Sect and are found in those things the Kingdom of God stands not in and Persecuting and Murdering such as will not observe your wills like to the Beast spoken of in the Revelation that with his Paw would pluck all under him and like the Dragon his Wrath is found in you against the true Woman the Church and they that have followed your Worship have followed the Dragons worship and the Beast and have not followed Christ Jesus nor the true Cath lique Church 7thly You
are a Seditious Sect that teach the Doctrine of Devils forbidding Meats and to Marry 1 Tim. 4. which the Spirit did say expresly should come in the last times who speak Lyes in Hypocrisie having you Consciences seared as with a hot-Iron that you a●e hardned in your Wickedness Seducing Spirits Doctrine of Devils For Moses was a Priest and Aaron was a Priest and were Married and the Prophets and Apostles had Wives and Marriage was Go●s Ordinance and Christ established it in the new Covenant wherein he saith Whom God joynes together let no man put assunder So here it is clear Christ the High-Priest made higher then the Heavens confirms Gods Work which is Marriage being his joyning and therefore do not you give liberty to Brothel-Houses and Baudy-Houses and Uncleanness And then you have need of a Purgatory 8thly You are a Seditious Sect for you have erred from the Cross of Christ which is the Power of God and therefore have you set up Wooden Crosses and Stone and Brass and Silver and Gold And how many Hundred Years after Christ were those outward Crosses invented And where did ever Paul or Peter or any of the Apostles set up a Wooden Cross And speak if you dare Let us see your Antiquity And how many Hundred Years after Christ got up that Seditious Sect forbidding Priests to Marry and setting up places to put Women in and vowed them and swore them to Chastity And how many Hundred Years after Christ was it before they made a God and a Christ of Bread and Wine Come out of your Holes and Dens and answer us in the Light if you dare And try your God and your Christ that you have made of Bread and Wine See if you will be as Bold as Baals Priests for they tryed their god before the Prophet Come let us see what this seditious Sect can do with all their Arts Can you make him Speak Is he a Living God that will not be found Asleep And will not your Gods grow Corrupt and Mouldy And is it not a Work of mans hands which you call people to Worship Yea your Fists of Wickedness and Bloody Hands which have been embrued and washed in the Blood of the Innocent with those hands have you not made your God and Christ of your Bread and Wine And therefore I say come out and try them we will have a Bottle of Wine and a Loaf of Bread and it shall be cut in two pieces and the Wine in two Basons and let the Pope and his Cardinals and Friars and Munks with all their Bloody Fists make a God of part of the Wine and part of the Bread and when they have done we will set them in a Cellar with part of the Wine and part of the Bread which is not consecrated and we shall try quickly whether their God will not Mould and their Christ will not Dye that is consecrated and their consecrated Wine grow sower and dye Come shuffle us not off for we will have them locked up in a Cellar with six or seven Locks and have a Watch on our side and another on yours and try if your God and your Christ that is made of Bread and Wine do not Corrupt and do not grow Mouldy and your Wine doth not grow Sower and Dye then we will all turn to you and say that you have made a God and Christ by your Art and then if your God and your Christ you have made of your Bread and Wine do grow Mouldy and the Wine Dye and Sower your Bread Mouldy that you have consecrated you shall all turn to us and acknowledge your selves to be a seditious Sect that have been Deceivers of the people this thousand Years We do challenge you dare you the Pope his Cardinals and Jesuits to come forth and try and bring your God out all you God-Makers and Christ-Makers of the Popes Crue and Company the Lord calls for you to come out of your Holts who have been a company of Blood-thirsty men who have mingled your invented and idolatrous Sacrifices with the Blood of the Innocent Pilate like a seditious Sect erred from the words of God and from Christ Jesus the Head of the Church and therefore you have invented a Head a counterfeit Head of your own making which is not a Catholick Head but a Seditious Head full of Sedition which fills the Body to the brim you are full of Hypocrisie to the very brim and full of Envy and Blood-thirstiness to the brim and full of Murder to the very brim your Actions your Doings your Works your Fruits speak it and declare it to all Nations about you But Christ Jesus he is the Head the Cathelique Head the Universal Head the Catholique Church is Living Members made and of Living Stones a spiritual Houshold sanctified by him and washed and purged and cleansed by the Living Head Christ Jesus who is the same to day yesterday and forever 9thly You are a Seditious Sect as erred from the Power from the Spirit of the Apostles and Christ Jesus and from the Righteousness the fine Linnen which is the Righteousnes of the Saints and of Christ Jesus and therefore you have set up your Surplices and your white Coats who have lost your fine Linnen which is the Righteousness of Christ Jesus and are more like Actors of Stage-Plays and M●un●ebancks then Preachers of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ●n all your Fools-Coats and the Pope and his Cardinals Fools-caps Keys and Crowns Where do you read in the Scripture or new Testament of Master Paul or Mr. Peter or Mr. Timothy or Mr. Titus or Mr. Matthew or Luke c. or my Lord Timothy or my Lord Titus or Peter or my Lord Bishops we challenge you to make this good out of your own Scripture let us see some proof for your Ambition and Pride who are puft up with Titles and take the Titles that belong to God Almighty to your selves contrary to Elihu who said If I give flattering Titles to men my Maker would not regard me and contrary to Christ Jesus and in despite of Christ Jesus who saith You have one Master and you are his Brethren It is very clear that you are a Seditious Sect and Schism and are rent from the Body and the Head both and therefore you are a Seditious Body It is you which make so many heads and christs and then say Lo christ is here and lo he is there and your Seditious people run to christ-Makers and god-Makers or your idol-Makers Indeed the Heathen Priests made gods which were no Gods and therefore in Spain and France and Rome and Ireland and Portugal and other places how many gods have you And how many christs have you made in all these parts and christ-makers And then he is here and there Lo here and Lo there Antichrist against Christ We know that the Devil will rage at this And how much Blood have you shed number up the Persons because
