Jesus Judas is the way to perdition and destruction Daniel Bott the light of Christ in thy conscience which did convince thee of the evil of thy heart and did cause thee to confesse the same that light is my witnesse for the truth against thy deceit and in thy condemnation remember that in thy life time thou wast warned who received not the truth with the love of it as to continue therein but taketh plagues in thy unrighteousnesse as such did which were enemies to the truth as thou art therefore great is thy condemnation as theirs was 2. Thes. 2. 12. offences must come as it is written in Scripture but wo to thee and them by whom ye do come it were better that a milstone were hanged about the necks and be cast into the sea then to offend one that believes in the Lord Jesus as thou and such may read Math. 18. 6 7. to the truth of this against the deceit that in the conscience shall witnesse in the terrible day of the Lords fierce wrath revealed from heaven in flames of fire upon the children of disobedience who are enemies to the truth of the Lord Jesus as thou hast read thy condition 2. Thes. 1. 6 7 8 9. answered with that in thy conscience which thou hast back-slided from and disobedient to but the light is the same that it was and though thou beest backslided from it yet it stands a witness against thee who hast erred from the truth and wouldst have overthrown the faith of some as Hymeneus and Philetus did but the spirit of truth witnesseth against thee as it did against them by such as live in the faith of the son of God as he did which said none the least he foreknoweth them that are his and let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity Gal. 2. 20. 2. Tim. 2. 17 18 19. but thou and all such as depart from the light turns into the iniquity who art found in that mistery the workers of iniquity and saith Christ though ye have prophesied in my Name and be found in the work of iniquity I will say I know you not depart from me you that be workers of iniquitie 2 Thess. 2. 1 2. to the 13. verse Matth. 7. 12. 23.

And though many that had for a time walked with Christ and because yee though it hard To eat his flesh and drink his blood and whereupon ye forsook him to wit Christ and walked no more with him John 6. to the 6-7 yet the Truth was the same though ye did back-slide and ye that knew the word of eternall Life abode then and so do ye now John 6. 6. 7. to the end And whereas many slanders hath been cast upon the Truth occasioned by Daniel Bott upon him and his slander-cariers they are cast and with them doth remains Truth is cleared and hath cleared it self of them all and Daniel the light in thy conscience which did convince thee and tend thee for a time and let thee see the evill that thou hadst done thee I desire but the light I own which thou art back-slided from and an enemy unto yet the light changeth not but is the same and in thy condemnation Remember thee it will of what against the Truth thou hast done and as was said in that Epistle which after was red at thy house amongst them then met appeareth upon Record to witness further for the Truth and against thee and thy deceit Written from and witnessed by and with the Spirit of the Lord in his children and servants that are guided thereby though unknown yet well known and as it was it is in the life which the Scripture witnesseth to and against all ungodlyness and unrighteousness of men which hold the Truth in unrighteousness as thou dost who by us art witnessed against Romans 1. 18. 19. 28. 29.

All people every where that desires to fear the living God and serve him take heed of that wicked spirit in Nicholas Greaton and all Wizards I warn you and charge you in the presence of the Lord as you will answer it before the judgement seat of Christ in the terrible day of the Lord read Joel 2. 12 13 14 15 16 17. and Zeph. 1. 14 15. read also Levit. 20 26 27. and take heed of going to those that have familiar spirits or to those that are Wizards as you will answer it before the Lord now you are warned also read 18. 10 11 12. Thus saith the Lord regard not them that have familiar spirit neither seek after Wizards to be defiled by them I am the Lord read Levit. 19. 31. You that seek after Wizards disobey the Lord and turn from him to enter into fellowship with the Divell and take counsell of him in a Wizard and are defiled thereby and the wo is to such that regard not the counsell of God where he forbids going to Wizards Therefore a warning to you all from the Lord for hearkening to Wizards least you be slain and dye not the common death of men and least the plagues come upon you for joining with them as they came upon those that joined to Baal Peor and the Wizards were amongst those curst people whom thy Lord drove out Deut. 18. 11 12. And those that went out of the counsell of God joined to Baal Peor and the anger of the Lord was kindled against them for it and the Lord said unto Moses take all the heads of the people that joined to Baal Peor that serve other Gods and hang them up before the Lord against the Sun that the fie●ce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel then Moses gave a command to the judges of Israel to slay the men that joined to Baal Peor and they that went out of the counsell of God that joined to Baal Peor were cut off from amongst the Israel of God and those that dyed in the plague before it was staied for joining unto Baal Peor were twenty and four thousand as may be read in Numb. the 15. from the 1. to the 10. And those that rebelled and took not counsell of the Lord the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up quick and their houses and all their goods they and all that appertained unto them went down alive into the pit and the earth closed upon them and they perished from amongst the Congregation and their cry was great when they went down quick into the pit for their rebellion against the Lord and there came a fire from the Lord and consumed 200. and 50. men for offering incense that were disobedient to the word of the Lord and there was 14. thousand and 700 dyed of the plague for their rebellion Numb. 16. which were sinners against the Lord and also against their own souls Now that you are warned if you go to Wizards take what followeth for you sin wilfully against the Lord and also against your own souls and the light of God in all your consciences will witnesse with me and the Scriptures if you go any more to Witches or Wizards you are in danger of loosing soul and body goods and all by the righteous judgements and plagues that may follow you for your rebellion as those examples that are instanced before you read also Jude 5 6 7. 2. Pet. 2. 4 5 6. And when any shall counsell you contrary to the counsell of God that saith regard not them that have familiar spirits neither seek after Wizards least ye be defiled by them Levit. 19. 31. If any say unto you seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto Wizads that peep and mutter take not their counsell that would have you to do so as you will answer it for should not a people seek unto their God and wo to them that take counsell but not of me saith the Lord therefore a warning to all that go from God to the Divell by seeking after Wizards for counsell also read Isa. 8. 19. Isa. 30. 1. When God was departed from Saul he went to the Divell in the Witch of Endor for counsell and then was conjuration used to raise the dead Sam. 28. And Saul died not the common death of men for he slew himself upon his own sword 1. Sam. 31. Wo wo wo to the Wizards and all that go to take counsell at them for they go from God to take counsell of the Divell and of Sorcerers Witches that are in the power of darknesse and Witchcraft and in the mistery of iniquity and those who are under the command of the prince of the power of the air and the king of the bottomlesse pit read Rev. 9. even of him whose coming is after the workings of Satan with all the power of darknesse and with signs and lying wonders and with all deceiveablenesse of unrighteousnesse in them that perish that they all might be damned who believed not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousnesse 2. Thes. 29. 10 11 12. All you that turn from the light of Christ Jesus in your consciences which sheweth you sin and evill you turn from the counsell of God and from the holy command as Cain did and err'd from the spirit of truth and turned into the seat of darknesse where Witchcraft is hatched and all evil is invented and so you entering into union with the prince of darknesse the spirit that ruleth in the children of disobedience that turn from the light into the fear of darknesse you become inventours of evil things and follow that which is evil
