Fore-men of the World that led into Error as you may read in John and Mat. 7.21 A dread Timothy where the spirit speaks expresly in the latter dayes of forbidding Marriage and of 〈◊〉 the doctrine of Devils And read Jude such as should go in Cain's way and Balaam's way and Corah's way gainsaying the Gospel persecuting for Gifts and Rewards and here your Fruits are clearly seen the Son of Righteousness shines over your heads amongst his Peop●e and so here you went from the Apostles Head Christ if you had been of them no doubt but you would have continued with them Christ saw you inwardly ravening from the Spirit of God from the Spirit of Truth the Word of God in the Heart from the true Faith that works by Love from the true Doctrine and so are up to the very brim in false doctrine and Idols and Images of your own making and Inventions and so you may see in the Revelation how the Beasts got up the first out of the Sea the second out of the Earth and how the Dragon gave his Power to the Beast and how his Worship was set up and how the Whore the false Church got up and there are the Names of the Beast which we leave you to interpret and how long the Beast must be worshipped and how long the true Church was to be in the Wilderness and to be fed of God and the Man-Child taken up to God and he should be brought forth again and to rule all Nations with a Rod of Iron and the Bride should come forth again and the Marriage of the Lamb should be known again and the Lamb and the Saints should have the Victory So read your Antiquity and how that all that would not receive the Beast's Mark and drink the Whores Cup the false-church she drunk the Blood of the Saints What hath she been as a Queen and hath she seen no sorrow But now is she losing her Children and the Scripture is fulfilling Glory be to the Lord God forever But you shall cry Alas Alas What have we had a Golden Cup that is full of Abomination What have your Kings drunk it and do some begin to hate her Oh! You must drink the Cup of the fierceness of the Wrath of God Almighty before this cup of Abomination be purged out of you The Angels begin to sound their Trumpets and the Everlasting Gospel is preached a●ain and that makes you to roar it sounds to Rome and to the Turks and to the Maguls the Jews and Gentiles the Everlasting Power of God before the Devil was will awaken you The Gospel-Bell begins to Ring it is beyond Aaron's Bells Christ the High-Priest is entring into his Temple For had you been of the Apostles no doubt but you would have continued with them for your doctrine is forbid by Christ and his Apostles for Christ bid F●ed my Lambs And you Wolves worry them and have got the Sheep Clothing in three or four Languages you have learned naturally and they that had the gift of Tongues were but tinckling Cymbals and sounding Brass who had not love and therefore all your Sounds it hath been but in comparison the sound of Brass and your tinckling but as Cymbals and your own Inventions And so your head is false not being found of that Catholique Faith that works by Love And the Word of the Lord God is kindling that Fire that will burn the Whores Flesh and will take her together with the Beast and the Dragon and cast her and them alive into the Lake of Fire What you to profess Christ Jesus in words and Murder and Persecute the true Christians to death What is this but Ishmael and Cain and Sodom and Egypt and the Jews and the Heathens spirit and nature and the Whore and the Beast and the Dragon and the Devil and false Prophets and false Apostles and Antichrist against the true Apostle and Christ Jesus who saith Love Enemies Love one another Oh Seditious Sect For when the second Beast rose out of the Earth then all your earthly Idols were established earthly Inventions earthly Images and then got your Whore on the top of the Beast your false Church Mystery Babylon arrayed in Purple and Scarlet deckt with Gold and Precious-Stones and Pearls do you see how she is decked a Golden Cup in her hand full of Abomination of Filthiness of Fornication and upon her head written Mystery Babylon the great the Mother of Harlots Yea of all the Harlots from God from Christ from the Apostles from the Spirit from the Faith from the Truth from the Power of God the Cross of Christ from the Righteousness and from Christ the true Head and from the true Church And this Whore thus decked has drunk the Blood of the Saints and Jesus his Martyrs Who cannot but wonder to see such a Monster And from whence came he that this Whore this Woman this false Church sits upon but from the Bottomless-pit and thither must they return again with his Horns And now is the Cry is Come out of her my People signifying that God hath a People to come out there lest they be Partakers of her Plagues This is the day that the Lord is calling Come out of her my People we have heard his Voice and can rejoyce over her for God will be avenged on her and she shall be cast down like a mighty Mill-stone read Rev. 17. For mark Here is the Devil the Dragon and the Whore and the false Prophet as Companions that came out of the Beast like Froges These go altogether to wit the Beast and the Dragon and the Whore on the top of the Beast the Dragons Power and his worship hath been set up and she is riding on the Devils power killing and murdering the Lord Jesus his Martyrs and Prophets What! Hath your Church lived deliciously and been as a Queen and no Widdow Doth she profess to be a Married Wife and a Queen She hath made many of her Merchants rich and is not she become the Habitation of Devils and Hold of every foul spirit and Cage of every hateful Bird And hath not the Beast had two Horns like a Lamb and exercised the power of the first Beast and all that will not worship and receive h●s Image and drink the Whores Cup must be made war against and their Blood drunk The Son of Righteousness is risen that shines that shews his Horns his Marks his Names what is written upon the Whores Fore-head and so against them that have kept the Testimony of Jesus the Spirit of Prophesie by which they have seen you you have made War against them and against them that have kept the Commands of God the Remnant of her Seed which is the Seed of the Woman whom the Dragon was wrath withal and was fled into the Wilderness there to be fed of God one thousand two hundred sixty dayes and this Dragon gave his power to your Beast that the Whore sits upon and so by

Spirit and noble Mind of Christ Jesus the Heavenly Man the second Adam that rebuked his Disciples that would have had Fire to come down from Heaven to consume them as the Prophets did that would not receive them and Christ told them that they knew not what spirit they were of that would have had mens lives taken away and destroy them and this was by way of Prayer Shall we Pray that Fire come down c. Now if they did not know what spirit they were of the Disciples of Christ Jesus who would have Fire to come down to consume the People they would not do it by Inquisitians and outward Burnings by Stacks of Faggots nor Hang ing of them as you have done Therefore have you known what spirit you are of Have you known your own spirits either Pope or Cardinal or Friars c. that have burned and racked and put to Death so many Thousands since the Apostles dayes since you got up with your counterfeit Church and Heads And so you that do not know what spirit you are of your selves do you think that any that know God or Christ will trust their bodies or their souls or spirits in your hands that do not know what spirit you are of your selves Then they may say they have lost their Reason and Understanding like your selves But Christ's Prophesie is come upon you John's Revelation and the Apostles That the Man of sin and Son of perdition is exalted above all that is called God in you and so there might be a ceparting away from Truth and then the man of sin should be revealed and there must be a falling away and so he is revealed now Thes 2.2 but the Lord will consume him with the Breath of his Mouth and destroy him with the Brightness of his coming that Satan that hath been working in you all those lying Signs and Wonders with the deceivableness of Unrighteousness in you that Perish because you receive not the Love of the Truth that you might be saved For this cause God hath sent strong Delusions among you that you should believe a Lye that they might be damned who believe not the Truth but have had pleasure in all your unrighteous doings and ●ctions and bloodthirstiness But we are bound to give God Thanks always through Jesus Christ who hath called us by his Gospel to obtain the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Head of our Church But It 's clear you are of them that have smitten your Fellow-Servants and have eaten and drunken with the Drunkards for what must you look for but to be cut assunder and appointed your Portion with Hypocrites where is Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth Mat. 24. And you have made salfe christs and shewed your Signs and Wonders if it were possible to deceive the very Elect but it is not possible the Elect was before the World was And so you are the unprofitable Servants that have hid your Tallent the fruit of which is Love under your earthly Traditions your earthly Idols and Rudiments your own Inventions and Works of your own hands and the fear you teach your people is by your own precepts which you never had from God Christ nor his Apostles and instead of Clothing the Naked and Feeding the Hungry and Receiving Strangers and Visiting the Sick you have made Naked you have made Sick you have made Strangers and in as much as you have done it to these true Christians you have done it to Christ the Head And why Because they will not own your Idolatrous Wayes and Idols your counterfeit Head your counterfeit Church and instead of Visiting in Prison you have cast into Prison and there let them Perish Hear the Sentence of the Head of the Church for all your evil doings and works Depart from me for you must go into everlasting Punishment yea depart from me ye cursed into everlasting Fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Then what have you got here by all your Merits by all your Works your tinckling Cymbals your founding Brass who have not had love Have you given your Goods to the Poor Could you give your Bodies to be Burned Have you Tongues Hebrew Greek and Latine and full of Envy and Blood-thirstiness and void of Love A seditious Sect degenerated Have you Faith It 's but a dead one one that doth not work by Love for Love is the fulfilling of the Law Is not the Birth of the Flesh sound amongst you of Hagar that persecutes him that is born of the Spirit the Free-womans Children And so are not you the dishonourable Birth that must be cast out And are not the works of the Flesh manifest amongst you as Adultery Fornication Vncleanness Lasciviousness Idolatry Witch-craft Hatred Variance Emulations Wrath Strife Sedition Heresie Envy Murder Drunkenness Revilling such like Look upon your church are not all these found Look over Ireland on your Holy-dayes what Drunkeness I never saw so many people drunk as I do of your people on that you call Peter's-day but the fruits of the spirit it is Love Joy Peace Gentleness Patience Meekness Goodness Long suffering Faith Temperance but these are wanting among you and the other Fruits plentifully may be gathered of your corrupt Trees that cannot bring forth good Fruit who are Strangers to the Covenant of Promise without the Hope that purisies as he is pure therefore you must have a Purgatory when you are dead and so are like a Company of Heathen Priests raging for your Images and your Idols and your godds you have made of Bread and Wine and christs and are ignorant of them that preach the true Doctrine of the Apostles who preached the Word in the Heart and Mouth and Christ was in people except they were Reprobates though they have had Bread and Wine The Apostles tell people no where that Bread and Wine was Christ after they had blessed it the Apostle tells them of an Anointing within them that should teach them and as it doth teach them they should continue in the Son and in the Father and as he was so were they in the present evil World So they need not have a Purgatory but you are all in your Purgatories already Head and Tail and Body already seperated from God and the true Church and Head And so as Christ said False Prophets should come Mat. 7.2 and Antichrists and bid the Disciples not to go after them for they should be inwardly ravening Wolves having Sheeps-Clothing And so its clear that you have the Sheeps-clothing that you are inwardly ravening Wolves that have worried so many Sheep and Lambs but you have prey'd upon them and made War with the Remnant of the Seed of the Woman and have drunk the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus So as Christ said they should come and John said they were come and it was the last time then and they went forth into the World and the World went after them and so you were the

of Rome with all her Old-Womans Fables this thou tearmest to be a Scoff But is it not a Scoff in thee to call us the Young Woman for calling that the Mother Church of Rome the Old Woman with her Fables that Harlot who hath drunk the Blood of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus she hath 〈◊〉 ●onour from God nor her saints and her Reward will be the Flames and all that hold her up the Flames of Hell read in the Revelation her Portion And there is no comparison between your Mystery Babylon and the Old Woman of Rome that you cry up so and Christ Jesus the Saviour and the true Church but it manifests your Ignorance and Darkness and as them that call Darkness Light and Light Darkness Good Evil and Evil Good And your Mother Rome doth begin to be out of date and is out of date with many that are come to Christ Jesus their Head the true Church and do lay her aside like an old Almanack Thou sayest because we call her the Old Woman of Rome this was enough to convince us of our Arguments Nay nay she is a Harlot and not the Spouse of Christ you speak as men that have lost your brains For though we do say the Old Woman with all her Fables yet we deny her to be the Spouse of Christ Jesus for she hath shed the Blood of the Martyrs and is brim full of Idolatry and her Cup is full of Abominations which corrupt the Earth and to the Brim she must have a Cup of Indignation of the Wrath of the Lord God Almighty And as for the Weather-cocks blown about with every rew and false doctrine look into your own Fields and look at Rome How many false Doctrines have blown you about and false Wayes and several Images and Orders have you set up since the Apostles dayes by that persecuting murdering spirit Do not you call your old Mass-house your Church Do not you Worship there And when you come into them do not you put off your Hats And do not you worship when your Host is carried and fall upon your knees and worship your Image Is not here your Church founded upon Idolatry And did not the Apostles speak of your Antiquity and worshipping of Angels and that were Intruders into those things that they did not see that did not hold the Head and neglect the Body and so you are Worshippers of Angels and neglect the Head and have set up a Head of your own making And have not the Gates of Hell prevailed against your outward House which you call a Church and your People Now you seem to shuffle and call the People your Chruch and say The Gates of Hell hath not prevailed against your Church that is against your People The Reason you say is The Spirit of Truth Christ saith shall lead his Church into a●●●●th which he would send to them And Christs saying to Peter Vpon this Rock will I build my Church And therefore because Christ said these words to his Disciples therefore the Gates of Hell hath not prevailed against your Church and your Church hath stood without Interruption to this present day neither Fails nor Corrupts Mark People how impudent these Men are What without blushing they can speak such words Is not all their Brothel-house and Stew-houses and Fornication and Adultery is not this Uncleanness And all their Idols and Images from their false Church silled to the brim with that And all their bloody Persecutions is not this from an unclean spirit But he saith Their Church hath stood without the least Interruption And now people you know that since Boniface the third the first Universal Pope was set up by a Murderer one Phocas who Murdered his Master and since their Church hath been held up by Murder he saith That their Church hath stood without the least Interruption Now since the Pope got up did not the Turk get up And did not the Turk get from the Pope Jerusalem Constantinople Aegypt Greece and many other Parts of the World that might be mentioned How can these men be so audations as to say Their Church hath stood without Interruption And if the Turk be the Gates of Hell he hath prevailed against you And are there not Protestants in France Yea at Rome Protestants in Switzerland Protestants in Germany and many Princes as King of Denmark King of Sweedeland and Low-Countries and Ireland Scotland and England and other places which have forsaken the Pope and his Church in words Now have not the Gates of Hell prevailed against this People Have not these Papists lost their Reason and Understanding as men What hath not the godd of the World blinded you that you cannot see Oh that men should be so blind and so bold to utter such Falshood as to say That it hath been without the least Interruption the Pope and false Church Nay it is their City that hath been divided what I yars are these I that love to Lye to Flatter and Dissemble on this manner and to Deceive the Simple they are simple indeed that will be deceived Alas alas You are driven up into a narrow scantling over you were at first Did not you Burn with Fire and Fagot in England in Bonner's time If these be the Gates of Hell they have prevailed against you and your counterfeit Church too and your Head also And it hath been the unclean Ghost that came from the Dragon that hath led you into all these Images and Idolatry and Sedition and Blackness and Darkness which is over you We know that Christ did pray to the Father and he hath sent the Spirit of Truth that leads the true Church into all Truth of which Church Christ is the Head And whereas thou speakest Of Peters Feeding his Lambs and Sheep you have torn the Sheep in pieces and Lambs also and rul'd by Force and Cruelty and sed the Wolves and Peter having Power to Bind and so did the rest of the Apostles and to Loose What is this to your counterfeit Church whom the Gates of Hell hath prevailed against And a great stir you make to hold up the Pope your counterfeit Head And you cavel at that in the Acts of Peter's being sent by the Disciples to Preach Acts 8. for you would fain have Peter a Pope that you may hold up your Pope and this clearly proves that Peter was not above his Brethren but they were all Brethren as Christ said they were his Brethren you abuse Christs words in saying that he made him the greatest and Head for Christ tells his Disciples all his True Church are Brethren But doth thy Christ that is made of Bread and Wine tell thee that Peter was Head And so you will make a Head of the Pope and your Pope and you will be Pead of your christ that you have made and Christ said to his Disciples when they were at Strise who should be counted greatest Christ tells them The Kings of the Gentiles exercise Lordship
