locusts out of the South and cannot you all with your preaching preach down those contemptible creatures that thou speaks of And as for Ranters I deny both thee and them for thou and they spring both from one root And I am one thou calls a Qiaker and Seeker and blessed be the Lord for evermore that ever I was found worthy to qear the name in truth for they that seek shall find and they that wait shall not be ashamed And thou blind Shepherd thou might as well have uttered forth thy venom at David Daniel Jeremy and the rest of the holy men of God and have said they came out of the pit Thou proud blaspheme● God will plead with thee for deriiding the power of the Lord and thou ars that Fox thou speaks of that would be devouring and have all consumed that thy corrupt sensual filthy will might be satisfied And as for faith thou never came to the faith of devils who believe and ttemble and thy faith and thy ordinances which are but imaginations and traditions of men the day is discnvered that shall burn them up and consume all and you shall be left naked add bare and have nothing to cover your nakedness but you shall be as a stink and a proverb And whereas thou saith they preach down Ministery and means and all but those that have knowledg miraculously infused and thou art offended because we declare what the Prophets were when they were called to prophecy and what the Apostles were before they went to preach and thou gathers thy conclusions that they will send Princes to beg aswel as the Ministery and thou saith nothing was more strongly charged upon Israel then suppressing of false Prophets and thou saith shall not Christian Princes also be zealous to suppress them that would devour the flock of Christ When wilt thou cease thy lying and slandering the Ministers of Christ we own and love which hath not been nor are not Ministers made by the will of man and such have turned away from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God and such a Ministry we honor but all those who stand is mans will we deny and are bold to affirm that they run and never were sent and therefore they do not profit the people and all thy means and thy mediate choice which is carnal we deny for none either by you or it ever had their mindes changed from darkness to light but only brought into a form a husk a shadow and made hypocrites to profess what they were not and as for thy miraculous infusion I deny thy words but this I say none knows the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son reveals him and that Gospel that we preach we neither received it of man nor from man but by immediate Revelation and unto this the Scripture witnesse I know Prophets and Ministers of Christ which was Shepherds and gatherers of Summer fruit and husbandmen at the plow and the same call as ever was God is not bound up to your trade of Divination and Study and by these which are base in your eyes shall you be confounded and be broken as a potters vessell And for thy conclusion that we may send Princes to beg we deny we do not dispute who rule whether he be a shepherd or a husbandman we know he that fears the Lord is guided by the light of Christ he will walk and act in righteousness whether he be a Prince or a Plowman and God is no respecter of persons nor we respect no mans person as thou flatterer doth but we honor the power that is of God and are subject to it for conscience sake we are not wrangling about the earth we are redeemed out of it and as for Naash thou speaks on who would strike out the right eye of Israel thou shalt stand for thy self for it is the true Israelite in whose mouth there is no guile and the Jew inward that thou would not only strike out the eie but also cut off their heads and who they are that do devour the flock of Christ they are Wolves and deceivers such as I spoke of before that abideth not in the doctrine of Christ read tay self there and own it And thou goes on further and Petitions the noble Princes to consider that the Anabaptists have mightily prevailed in this Nation and thou wonders that the Governors have not suppresst and thou bringst an old Story to accuse them with out of Germany That they had plurality of Wives and this thou saith is like to destroy the Nation Rep. Thou art Ismael the son of Hagar thy hand is against every man and Cain is the root from whence thou sprang for thou hast murther in thy heart and would command fire to come down from heaven to destroy and knows not what spirit thou art of and as for the Anabaptists prevailing here thou hast made the shame of your Ministery appear that it hath had no more effect upon the peoples minds that they have not bin established so they have run after every wind of doctrin and thou wouldst have the Magistrates to make the people live still upon wind And as for thy Story of Germany concerning the Baptists I have great ground to believe that thou and thy Author may aswel belye them which thou never knew as to lye upon those which are nearer at hand but if they acted any such thing as plurality of wives let them bear their own shame do not accuse the innocent truly I know no such Baptists in the Nation and it is no more accusation upon them then if thou should accuse the disciples with Iudas and this thou layest upon the Magistrate to consider lest the Nation be desroyed filthy busie mind troubling thy self and others with old Stories raked out of the pit to accuse others with when as there is no such thing that is owned and all who fears the Lord denies such and I deny them and they and all who act in uncleanness And thou goes on and shews as thou hath stoln from other mens words from the Prophets and Moses that the judgment of the Lord was against all Idolaters and fals Prophets and dreamers and how they them that served strange gods were to be put to death Wo unto them saith the Lord that steals my Word every man from his neighbor and say thus saith the Lord when as the Lord hath never spoken unto them thou hast stoln other mens words and shalt be judged by thy own mouth and thy own law that thou never had the word of the Lord made manifest nor never did the Lord speak to thee but what thou hast gotten and therefore thou art that fals Prophet and art that dreamer and he that hath a dream let him tel a dream and he that hath the word of the Lord let him speak it now them that speak the word of the Lord from the mouth of the Lord as the true Prophets
