worth which hath only stood in words and out-side worships and formes without the power and life of that which ye have professed Therefore honestly consider in time and turne in your minds to the Light of Christ Jesus in all your Consciences which is Gods witnesse in you all which will either accuse or excuse you and acquit or condemne you in every thing that ye doe or word ye speake or thought that ye thinke If ye doe turne your minds into it and waite in it by it you will come to see and examine and truly to search and try what is in your hearts and minds at all times and so come to be acquainted therewith and see what lodgeth there Otherwise ye will not know nor be acquainted with your own hearts which will then deceive you for they are desperately wicked and ye will not know that wickednesse that is there which is ready to joyne to any thing that is evill and to be led into any errour but as ye doe minde that of God within you which will searh your hearts and try your reynes And in this Condition have people been and are still in the World and in all their professions there and worships which stands in ourward observations and carnall ordinances and worships set up in mens wills and practised in the worlds spirit which knowes not God nor the things of God and are in their own wills and led by that spirit So their hearts minds are drawn out into those things to looke at the things that are seene which are temporall which are of the World from that which may be known of God which is manifest in them from the things which are not seene which are eternall and with which they should know the true and living God whom they have for a long time been thus ignorantly worshipping not knowing of him though he was not far from every one of them neither have they known the true worship of him which is in the Spirit in the truth in wch the true Church stands and is gathered our of the world and out of itsworships wayes and customes which are corrupt and are upholden by mens lawes made in their corrupt wills whereby they have compelled people to their worships which is not true but are all erred from the truth and true worship and true Church which is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the pillar and ground of truth wherein they worship God in the Spirit and in the truth and so have found the Father who is seeking such to worship him in this his day which now is dawned after the long night of Apostacy darkness which hath been over all people so that the whole earth hath been covered with darknesse and the vayle hath been over all faces and the whole Earth been corrupted by the abominable worships that hath been therein in this time of darknesse in the false Church which is the whore of Babylon the mother of harlots and the abomination of the Earth gotten up in the roome of the true Church with her false worships in Imitation of the true worship whereby all nations have been drunken with the Cup of her fornications And all the Emperours Kings Princes and Judges and Rulers of the Earth and they have all been making of Lawes to uphold her and she hath ridden upon them for they have been the beast which have carried her and the beast and the false Prophet which receives their power from the Dragon have made warr with the Saints and overcome them and their blood hath been shed by her which hath cryed and doth cry unto the Lord for vengeance and the Lord hath heard the cry of it And he is now risen to take vengeance upon all them that dwell upon the earth where the Devill hath been their King who is the Dragon that old Serpent who was cast out into the earth And now the time is come that he shall be bound and chained and cast into the pit and the beast the false Prophet with him shall be taken alive and cast into the Lake And the Lord God is come to Judge the great whore the false Church who hath set upon the Kings of the Earth made them drunke with her cup and to render vengeance with fury upon her and burne her with fire And all her Merchants shall cry woe and alacke who have been made rich with her merchandize and the great City shall fall in which they have been trading which is Babylon the mother of them all in what forme or profession of shew or colour or dresse soever they have appeared For the houre of her Judgement is come and strong is the Lord that Judgeth her Therefore woe woe from the Lord will be unto all that seek to uphold her and come 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of her For all that drinke of her cup and partake with her in her s●●● must be sure to partake of her plagues And the decree of the Lord is sealed and gone forth against her and the warre is openly proclaimed against her and the Beast and the false Prophets who have gove forth to deceive And the Lambe is come forth and his sword is drawne and ho is riding on conguering and to conquer and with him are his Saints who are called and faithfull and chosen who are made willing to follow him whither soever he goes And the victory is determined the Lambe and the Saints shall have the victory and their weapons are not carnall but spirituall For with the sword of the Spirit which proceeds out of the mouth of the Lambe shall all his enemies be slaine and great shall be the day of slaughter of Gods enemies who have the Beasts marke or his name or are of the number of his name they shall all be slaine both small and great even all whose names are not written in the Lambs book of life who was staine from the foundation of the world And this the Lord is now bringing to passe in this his day not by might nor by power but by my Spirit will I doe this saith the Lord And therefore blessed are all they who have an care to heare and an eye open to see what the Lord is doing and a heart to understand and receive his counsell and to doe his Commandments and his will and to answer his requirings Written by a Friend to all your soules a lover of truth and righteousnesse and a sufferer for the testimony of a good

agreement with hell and to keep people in the death and in the darknesse and errour which they called Light and Truth and none must remove from the place where he sate in darknesse and in the shadow of death this hath been the Priests work for many years past to keep people there in spiritual Aegypt and darkness So the Leaders of the people have caused them to erre and they have told people that these Laws were the Discipline of the Church to keep out errour and to preserve the Gospel and to keep Heresie from spreading Now this hath been their cry and their pretence whilest they have been keeping out Truth thereby and limitting the Spirit of God to this or that form so that Truth hath not had its liberty which is only able to keep people from Errour and Heresie And what Errour and Heresie and wickednesse is there that can be named that is not amongst them And you Oh ye Preists and Teachers notwithstanding all your outward Laws who have had all these fair pretences to keep up your Forms of worships withour the power even by your outward Laws and carnal weapons as Stocks and Whips and Prisons and Courts and Leagues and Covenants and Oaths and Protestations and Assemblies of Divines so called and Confessions of Faith and Directories to worship by c. All this hath been but to hold up your Trade to preach for hire and filthy lucre and for your bellyes and to bear rule by your means over the people and to keep them still in the house of bondage and darknesse in AEgypt to labour in the Brick and so have been as the Taskmasters over them who would have their tale of brick and would allow them no straw but they must go abroad to get it and so have oppressed the people and have been cruel so that ye have made them to groan under their burthens and there was none to help them And now the Lord hath heard their cry and is risen and come to deliver his people from under you even from under the mouths of such devouring Wolves who have made a prey upon them And have cryed peace to people in their sins and wickednesse and have had mens persons in admiration because of advantage and have kept and do keep many there Now ye that have done so have not been the Ministers of Christ but of Antichrist not of righteousnesse but of unrighteousnesse and Messengers of Satan though ye have transformed your selves into several forms and shapes but your end is seen and your reward will be according to your work For though the strong man armed have kept the Palace and so the things therein hath been in peace yet now a stronger then he is come who is in us even stronger then he who is in the world And this is he whom we preach Christ Jesus the true Light who hath enlightned every one that cometh into the world which convinceth them of sin and reproves for sin and speaks not peace to them there but sends a sword to take it away and leads them out of sin who beleeves and obeys him and this is he who saves his people from their sins and destroys the work of the Devil And he is come and appeared in his Servants and Ministers as of old To call sinners to repentance and to turn from sin unto God and from the darknesse to the Light and from the power of Satan unto God that so they might receive remission of sins and an inheritance amongst them that are sanctified Which many who have been turned and are turned by them can witnesse the inheritance and an entrance into it Glory be unto the Lord God of Heaven and Earth for ever Therefore do I exhort and warn every one of you in the fear of the Lord to turn in your minds to the Light of Christ Jesus within you Who is given for a Light to the Gentiles and for a new Covenant to the house of Israel where the Law is written in the heart that so ye may come to read there what is in your hearts to know Good from evil and the just from the unjust and Truth from error the right way from the wrong For the Light will shew you if your minds be turned to it For the Law is Light saith Solomon and it is a Light unto my feet and a Lamp unto my paths saith David And again he saith The Law of the Lord is perfect converting the soule The Testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple The Statutes of the Lord are right rejoycing the heart The Commandements of the Lord is pure enlightning the eyes The fear of the Lord is clean and endureth for ever The Judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether By them thy servant is forwarned and in keeping of them there is great reward And again saith he Oh how doe I love thy Law it is my delight it is my meditation day and night Whereby he became witer then all his Enemies and more understanding then all his Teachers And this is it which gives the knowledge of sin and convinceth of sin and reproves the world for sin and condemneth for sin them that beleeve not And this Law is Spiritual Holy Just and Good and this will let you see that ye are carnal sold under sin and found in the sin and transgression of it and in the corruption whilest ye have been promising of your selves liberty and saying ye are justified by Christ and so would have made him the Minister of sin Gal. 2.17 while yet ye are under the Law and the Law hath dominion over you and condemns you for your sins and evil deeds As the Apostle saith Know ye not for I speak to them that know the Law how that the Law hath dominion ever a man so long at he ●●●eth For Paul saith Rom. 7. I was alive without the Law once but when the Commandement came sin revived and I dyed That slew him and so that which was ordained unto life became death unto him he being in the transgression of it and so dying unto sin he was dead to the Law not under it for then he faith I through the Law am dead to the Law but alive unto God So that which slew him and made him dead unto sin brought him unto Christ Jesus who is the Life the end of the Law for righteousnesse to every one that beleeves So the Law was our School-master to bring us to Christ saith he Gal. 3.24 So who are come to Christ they are come out of the transgression they are come to live unto God they are come to Christ who sulalls it Who is the Way the Truth and the Life and they are not under the Law but under Grace For the law was given by Moses but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ And now to the witnesse of God in you all doe I speak who
