the Lord of Hoasts neither will I accept an offering at your hands Mal. 1.10 And thou brings a Scripture in the 139. Psal. 12. which Scripture thou shalt witnesse upon thee fulfilled for thy darkness shall not hide thee nor cover thee for the Almighty shall finde thee out and the wrath of the Lamb Thou who doth live in pleasures on the earth and art wanton and nourisheth thy heart as in a day of slaughter and hast condemned and killed the Just Jam. 5.5 And thou shalt receive the reward of unrighteousness as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time 2 Pet. 2.13 who art a lover of pleasures more then a lover of God and art serving divers lusts and pleasures 2 Tim. 3.4 Tit. 3.3 R. And whereas thou sayest one power doth all things evill and good being so to the low apprehension of man but all alike in God Answ That is false and blasphemy that power that acts thee doth evil and cannot be good Mark 1.18 And thou art the evil and not the good who calls the evil good and the good evil and thou art he that hateth the good and loves the evil Rom. 3.12 Micha 3.2 And thy resurrection shall be for damnation John 5. 29. And thou brings a Scripture Amos 3.6 which is fulfilling the Lion is roaring and the prey is taking and the bird is fallen into the snare and the trumpet is blowing in the City and thou art afraid and the evil that shall be done unto thee the Lord doth it R. And whereas thou sayest Darknesse may be made light as the one power makes himself known who is light and all whose deeds are light though darkness to the Creatures present apprehension Answ Thou who art darkness it self and so an enemy to the light and a hater of the light thou shalt never see light And to thee the eternall power of the living God is made known for thy destruction For where Christ is made manifest he is made manifest to destroy the works of the devil and thou art vain in thy imaginations and thy foolish heart is darkened R. And thou brings a Scripture Isaiah 42.16 where it is said I will bring the blinde by a way they know not I will lead them by pathes that they have not known I will make darkness light before them and crooked wayes straight Ans. Here let the Scripture confound thee who art yet blind and unled into the way and the pathes that thou art in leads to destruction and the way of peace thou knows not But art in the crooked wayes of filthinesse and uncleanness and art not yet come to be ashamed of thy graven Images and molten Images which thou calls thy Gods R. And whereas thou sayes What doth holiness save or ungodliness destroy as you apprehend them to be Answ Holiness saveth that which thou the ungodly destroyes and the Lord God who is a jealous God his anger is kindled against thee and will destroy thee from the face of the Earth For he that defiles the Temple of God him will God destroy and miserably will he destroy the wicked men Mat. 21.41 And thou that makes the members of Christ the members of an harlot and saith meat is for the belly and the belly for meat but God shall destroy both it and thee and the body is not for fornication but for the Lord 1 Cor. 6.13 15. And now we know what hath with-holden that he might be revealed in his time and the mystery of iniquity doth already work in thee onely he who letteth will let untill he be taken out of the way and then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming that they might all be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness 2 Thess. from the 3. to the 13. And here is thy portion and this thou shalt finde fulfilled and witnessed to thy destruction For thou Son of perdition and man of sin is revealed R. And thou brings a Scripture in the 12. Eccl. 7. where it is said dust goeth to the earth and the Spirit to God that gave it Answ But he that spoke this lived not in filthiness and undeanness for he saith that which thou lives in is vanity which thou filthy beast would set up which was pulled down in him Neither doth thou know those conditions he spoke before he said these words But to thee they are a mysterie and thy spirit doth not return to God for to the place of torment amongst the devils and damned in hell doth thy spirit return where is weeping wailing and gnashing of teeth R. And whereas thou sayest That which befals the sons of men befals beasts they have all one breath all go to one place is the one dyeth so dyeth the other all are of the dust and turn is the dust and what preheminence hath a man above a beast Answ Thou art as the beast that perisheth who art in the place of Judgement where wickedness is and the place of thy righteousness where iniquity is which is all in the wickedness and transgression And now is the time that God is judging thee and thou art made manifest to be the beast and the false Prophet which is to be turned into the Lake And this befals all the sons of men who are in the beastly nature thou lives in and all who are in that nature that worships the beast and goes all into one place of torment as thou shalt finde But that which is prepared for the lake shall not return to the dust though thou would have it so and thou beast and thy spirit which is of the beast that goes downward to the earth Thou knows not the spirit of a man that goes upward For thou art he whom the decree of the most high is gone forth against and thy portion is with the beasts of the field and thou art driven from the Sons of men And thy heart is made fat like the beasts and thy dwelling is with the wilde Asses the 5. Dan. 21. R. And whereas thou sayest Man in his carnall apprehensions of God accounts one thing lawful and another thing unlawful calls one way godly and another way ungodly When as there is no such thing for he that is in the liberty of the Sons of God to him all things are lawful as they were to Paul Answ Thou who art in thy carnall apprehensions of God is in the world without God and thou art alive without the Law not come to know the Law yet but art dead in sins and trespasses And thou that lives in pleasure art dead while thou lives and thou lives unto sin and so art free from righteousness the Law which is holy just and good shall cut thee to pieces and thou art not yet come to know the Law nor what is lawfull which every one passeth through before they come to
