Christs light which every man is lightned withall is of the flesh and of the devil and so is carnal and darknesse and have damnified a man for saying the contrary and you have shewed your selves to be against Christ as much as ever the Jews were and to be of the very same spirit for you say and justifie That Christs Light is carnal and darkness And they said he was the Prince of Devils and Darkness And do you not herefully agree with the Jews The Apostle said the Devil was the power of darknesse and the Saints were translated from the power of darknesse Col. 1.13 But how doth Rich. Maoy's Doctrine agree with this Is the Devil the power of the light of Christ that lightneth every man Is not this damnable Doctrine But hereby the Priest and court of Kingston have shewed themselves to be in darknesse and carnal which is a damnable state and it is damnable to say and judge of Christ as they have done that darknesse is in him and that his light which lighteneth the World is of the flesh and of the Devil But with the light which every man is lightned withall which is pure and eternal of God are they judged that so jugde and with the light shall they be condemned that is the word of the Lord God to you all And God will make you ashamed of your judgement who know not Christ and therefore have you falsly judged him and judged quite contrary to Johns words who said that was the true light that lightneth every man but you have said and judged it is carnal and darkness and will you say that that which is carnal and darkness is a true light And if you say so that is damnable Dotrine and so you are in a snare and hath brought a snate upon your your souls and have left your Names and Judgements a stink to all the Saints upon Earth And the Judge and Jury and Court of Kingstone have also judged it to be sound Doctrine to say Paul exhorted the Saints te follow and obey a light which is not Christ nor the light of the Gospel which the Priest affirmed Now here you have slandered the Apostle and belyed him and given a false judgement against him as well as against E.B. for the Apostle did not exhort the Saints to follow any Light but what is Christ and the light of the Gospel for hee saith often that he preached the Gospel and Christ the power of God throughout all his writings 2 Cor. 4.5 for hee was sent To turne people from darkness to the light of the Gospel and from Satans power uhich is darknesse to God who is light Acts 26.18 and hee turned people to Christ within them who is the power of God and the Gospel is the power of God Rom. 1.16 And saith hee if any preach another Gospel then what he had preached let him be accursed Gal. 1.7.8 And he preached Christ unto the Saints and the Gospel onely and desired not to know any thing among them but Christ and him crucified and that their Faith might stand in the power of God the Gospel and evary where he preached the Gospel Acts 16.10 Rom. 15.19 1 Cor. 9.16 1 Thes 2.9 and I affirm he preached nothing else but Christ the power of God the Gospel to be obeyed and followed for it is that which convertcd to God and it is that he exhorted the Saints to walk by Walk in the Spirit and live in the Spirit saith he and obey the Spirit and so shall you not fulfil the works of the flesh And as many as were the Sons of God walked by the Spirit and were led by the Spirit Rom. 8. and the Spirit and the Gospel and Christ are one and not many nor divided But this Priest and Court of Kingston have judged contraiy even that Paul did Preach to be followed and obeyed and believed in something that is not the Light of the Gospel nor the Power of God nor Christ and so have slandered and belyed the servant of the Lord the Apostle Paul And is not this damnable to bely the Apostle And is not this of the Devil and Devillish doctrine that slanders the servant of the Lord that is dead but his spirit and words are a witness against them it is out of the truth and contrary to truth to belye and slander the Apostle and that is of the Devil and Damnable and Error for every lye is out of the truth and so of the Devil and that which is of the Devill is Damnable and must be cast into the Lake with the Devil And such is R. Mayo's doctrine And R. Mayo in his Sermon held forth as good doctrine That the people of Kingstone might follow and obey and walk by a light which hee said was not the light of the Gospel and exhorted them to it and pressed them upon it and yet he said It would not lead to Christ nor reveal him to them yet pressed them to follow that Light And this doctrine hath the Judge and Jury and Court justified to be sound and not false Doctrine and have damnified E. B. for a Slanderer for denying his doctrine and saying it is damnable Now there is but Light and Darkness God and Belial Christ and Antichrist and if it be not the light of the power of God which is the Gospel which they are to follow then it is darkness and of the Devil which he exhorted them to follow and if it be not Christ nor God nor the Spirit which he pressed them to obey then it is Antichrist and that which is of the flesh which they are exhorted to follow and this is damnable and if it be not the true Gospel the power of God nor the light of it nor Christ as he saith it is not then it is another Gospel that hee hath preached in the Pulpet in Kingstone and he is accursed that doth so and accursed Doctrine is danmable Doctrine and a man that is accursed is in a damnable state and they that follow and obey any other thing besides Christ and the light of the Gospel they cannot be saved for this is saving doctrine to preach Christ and his Gospel onely For there is no other name given under heaven to be saved by but Christ Acts 4 12. Who is the power of God the Gospel who is the light of life the truth to be obeyed and followed and that doctrine that is otherwise and contrary to this is damnable and Richard Mayo hath preached another Doctrine and hath preached that people should follow and obey something that is not Christ nor the light of his Gospel and so his doctrine is not saving for he hath preached another Name and another Light then Christ and his Gospel and the Judge and Jury have justified him in it and judged E. B. for a slanderer because he said this was unsound Doctrine and Error because it is not the Doctrine of Christ nor his Gospel but another Doctrine of
