without a Magistrates Staff to Punish and a Bag to relieve them and will fill their Bag of such they do no work for and of such you have experience and do and may know that they are not like unto the Disciples which Christ sent forth without Bag or Staff and such as was amongst the Apostle● whom they said must not be Strikers nor Persecutous nor Covetous nor greedy of filthy lucre and they must be proved before they must Teach So 〈…〉 Scriptures of Christ and the Apostles and there you may see the Life Doctrine and Commands by which you may measure the Ministers and Teachers of Christendome and though in the Law among the Jewes by the Law they were to put to death the Blasphemers false Prophets and the like which Law Christ ended and came to save mens Lives and to destroy the Devill and his works for this purpose was he made manifest for the Devill was the Authour of Blasphemy and false Prophets whom Christ destroyes Blasphemy and false Prophets are the Divers works yet Christ saved mens Lives and rebuked the Zeall of his Disciples that would have mens lives destroyed And the Apostles which were the Ministers and Teachers and Embassadours of the Lord Jesus Christ their Weapons were Spiritual and not Carnall and they did not wrestle with Flesh and Blood but with spirituall wickedness and the powers of darkness so the men being spirituall and their weapons spirituall wrestling not with flesh blood their hands were kept clean fists not wicked who could pray to God listing up Holy Hands these were no complainers about Church-Maintenance Worship and Religion neither were they Strikers but all in the whole Christendom since the Apostles days the Church in the Primitive Times that have killed persecuted forced imprisoned about Church-worship and Religion Maintenance and have wrestled with flesh and blood and distroyed creatures which have been the Work-manship of God instead of wrestling with the powers of darkness and spirituall wickednesses these have not been spirituall men neither have they had spirituall weapons neither have their hands nor fists been holy and clean and so they have not been agreeable nor according to the Apostles nor Christ Jesus and his Church in the Primitive Times but contrary to his Mind Doctrine and Commands and his Church of whom he is Head The Law that was among the Jews commanded them to worship at Jerusalem and come up to the Temple or at the Mountain of Samaria but Christ Jesus who ends that Law which brought people up to worship then he saith That the Hour is come and then was that they that worship the Father must worship him in the Spirit and in the Truth For such were they the Father seeks to worship him Now every one that worships the Father in Spirit and Truth must come to the Spirit their own particulars that mortifies sin and evill and into the Truth in their own inward parts and this ●i●●el● them from the Will-Worshippers and from the worship of the Divell that is out of Truth where all the compelling worship is And concerning our Meetings Christ and his Disciples they met in Houses yea the Wise Men Ministred to Christ and his Mother in the Stable and Christ and his Disciples met in the Wildernesses and in the Mountains and he bids them go into the High-Wayes and the Hedges and 〈…〉 the House tops and to the Markets and the Apostle in the midst of Mars Hill and sometimes in the Temple and in the Synagogues and amongst the Heathens to bring them off Tipes Figures and Shadows and their own inventions to Christ the Substance Therefore now that Christians should hinder 〈…〉 that profess and own the Name of Christ for Meeting together and Edifying and ●●●●ding upon another though they all profess the Name of Christ this is to quench the Spirit and limit the Holy One and is against the edifying of the body itself in Love and the building up one another in the Holy Faith in Love who are not to forsake the Assembling together nor the Edifying of one another by how much 〈…〉 day doth appeal Now they that be against this be not in the day 〈◊〉 in the night and are contrary to the Apostles Doctrine and the Practice of the Church in the Primitive Times Theyrefore though there be Diversities of Gifts and divers Opperations and several Gifts and several Opinions and Judgements who with spiritual weapons with spiritual men are these to be ordered and 〈◊〉 with Carnal with Clubs and Seaves and Prisons for these Weapons are of the Heathens Jews Judases and of Cain who was the first that killed and perfecuted about Religion and Worship upon the earth whom God said was A Vagabond and the Apostle Paul said Woe be to them that go in his way who said his Weapons were spirituall and so not like Cains who slew his Brother contenning his Faith and Doctrine Therefore consider who are of Faith and have the Faith they have the Shield the spirituall Weapons and who have the Word of God they have the Sword of the Spirit and the Hammer and the Fire that which is to cut down and Hammer down and bar up that which is contrary to the word which makes separation from God and these are the spiritual Weaponed men And Christ Jesus said who hath all power in Heaven and Earth given to him who is the end of the Prophets Law First Covenant and First-Priesthood It hath been said of them of the Old time Thou shalt not Forswear thy self but shalt perform thy Oath to the Lord But I say unto you Swear not at all by Heaven nor Earth nor any other Oath but in all your Communication let your Yea be Yea and your Nay Nay for whatsoever is more commeth of Evil. And likewise the Apostle James who followed Christs Command and obeyed Christs Doctrine saith Above all things my brethren Swear not neither by Heaven nor by any other Oath Therefore we and they that keep out of Evil and Condemnation cannot Swear but rather Obey the Doctrine of our Saviour Christ Jesus and the Apostle who is the Son of God and if the Angels command us to Swear we cannot for the Son of God commands us the contrary and to Him the Angels must bow If Solomon who was a King and David and Moses or Abraham commands us to Swear we cannot for the Son of God commands the contrary who was before Abraham was and is a greater than Solomon whom David called Lord even CHRIST JESUS who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords And if the Jewes Laws commands us to Swear we cannot for Christ Jesus who ends the Jewes Law and the Oath and redeems to God commands us we should not Swear so our Redeemer and Saviour who is our Life and Truth our Way our Rock and Salvation his commands we cannot Transgresse And if they that be Christians and do profess the Name of Christ do persecute us for Obeying

said Love Enemies and wrestle not with Flesh and Blood but Christ said to the Disciples who would have had Fire come down from Heaven to consume them who were contrary minded he reproved them and tells them they knew not what Spirit they were of Wherefore they that do destroy mens lives about Worship Church and Religion do not know what Spirit they are of wherefore how can we trust our Bodies Souls and Spirits into the Hands of such as know not what Spirit they are of themselves Let there be no forced Maintenance to the Ministers that professe the Gospel but let all be done by Freeness and Bounty as it was in the Apostles days for the Papists that set up Tythes and pretend the Law of God hath been since the Apostles dayes which Law of God Christ ended and Tythes both as in Heb. 7. Let no one be put to Death for Cattel or Money or such things as many be but let them Live to restore Four Fold or be Sold for their Theft and to work with their Hands in the thing that is Good according to the Apostles Doctrine and Command of God for the Law of God is Just and Equal and Perfect going over all Transgression answering the Transgressed Principle in all and to all men to do as they would be done by And many say the Lords Prayer Forgive us our Trespasses as we forgive them that Trespass against us then fall a Persecuting and Revenging although with their Lips they say these words for if they had forgiven there had never been Persecution in the whole Christendom since the Apostles dayes Wherefore they that say these words Forgive us our Trespasses as we forgive them that Trespasse against us and doe not the things are the Sayers and not Doers like the Pharisees Wherefore consider for CHRIST JESUS the Lord of Life the King of Glory Lord of Heaven and Earth is come to Reign to reward every one according to their Works and give every one a Reward for his Doings Wherefore Fear and Dread the Lord God of Hosts of Heaven and Earth For now you have time Prize it spend it not as a Tale or as one that dreameth pass it not away for man must perish or will perish living in the Earth out of the Life being in the Separation from God Wherefore Fear and Tremble before the Living Mighty God of Heaven and Earth The Lord of Hosts is his Name Now whereas there is a great Noise of Stopping and Imprisoning the Leaders and the Heads of the Quakers Thus Christ is their Head And the Head of every man as in Corinthians and Christ in the Female and he is the Head there who is their Leader to God who destroyes the Devil and his Works and all the Powers of the world cannot limit him Christ who hath all Power in Heaven and in Earth given unto him and He in the Male and Female is King is Head is the Leader is their Commander is their Wisdom Justification and Sanctification is their Redemption and the Resurrection bringing them to God into a Life that is Everlasting without End So Christ is the Prophet and King a King to Rule a Prophet to Teach an everlasting Priesthood that offers up the Spirituall Sacrifice to God He is in Man in the Male in the Female So Christ is in all except they be Reprobates and if he be within he is the Leader to the Father he is the Teacher he is the Head he is the Elder he is the First he is the Last So here is no such thing among the Quakers which know their Election before the World began whose Salvation is wrought out with Fear and Trembling that are Redeemed from all them that have cast the Fear of God behind them and live without it without God in the world and no Assurance of Election who Hire men to Lead them and Teach them where there is Exalting and Heads many over them whom Christ is the Head to Condemnation that hate the Light Among them are the several Masters like Pharisees but to the Disciples he said It shall not be so among you who is the Head of his Disciples their Teacher and Leader so they have but one Head if they be Ten Thousand times Ten Thousand Christ is the Head in the Male and Female and here is no Exercising Lordship among them over one another as among the Gentiles and the Apostate Christians are got into the Lordship and are Offended if they will not give them Earthly Honour And the Lord saith His Children shall be taught of him and they shall be Established in Righteonsness And these are them which the Teachers and Professors of the world persecute And the Lord saith Every one that hath heard and learned of the Father cometh to the Son And the Apostle saith They have the Anointing within them to teach them and they need not man to Teach them but as the same Anointing did Teach them And this he Wrote to the Saints concerning them that did seduce them And he told them many Antichrists and False Prophets were gone out into the World and those be them that be alwayes Teaching them that they may be alwayes paying them but the True Apostles brought people to the Anointing within them and told them That the Grace of God which brought Salvation did Teach them And God had put his Law in their Mindes and writ it in their Hearts whereby they they need not say one to another Know the Lord for they all know him from the least to the greatest And the Apostle said to the Hebrews how that God had spoke to our Fathers by the Prophets at sundry times but now hath spoke unto us by or in his Son which is the Teacher whom we witness thousands to be our Teacher and Head and Leader Why persecutes thou me saith Christ It is hard for ye to kick against that which pricks you in your own Consciences saith Christ in the Male in the Female you cast into Prison you do not Visit Christ there you do not Cloath him you do not Feed him nor give him Drink Oh! where will you appear where will your end be that do not justly did not Christ lay these plainly down saying they cast him in Prison and did not Visit him nor Relieve him when he was Sick and yet now you in Christendom do not see and are so ignorant of him where he is made manifest in his Members in the Male and Female who is their Head and Teacher and Leader into the Righteousness and Truth whom you should Love and you cast them into Prison for meeting together having nothing against them to insnare them and yet you profess the Name of Christ now if you did profess the Name of Christ in Truth you would love Enemies if they were your Enemies and not persecute them that are taught of God and Christ is their Head for God let Cain have the liberty of the earth though he was a Fugitive it it for murthering his Brother And God let the Heretick Nimrod that began to build Babel have liberty in the earth and Scoffing Ismael have liberty in the Earth in the Wilderness And because the Jews had the Law of God who had the Signes Types Figures and Shadows by which they were to kill Blasphemers and false Prophets that drew away from God which Law and outward Carnal Weapons was a figure of the true Spiritual Weapons and of the Word of God Christ Jesus that destroyes the Devil and Blasphemers and false Prophets which were gone out from God and this was done by the Spiritual Weapons yea by the Sword that proceeds out of his mouth therefore the Christians are to love Enemies For they that go about to take away the Heads and Leaders of the QUAKERS as they think they go about to take away CHRIST for he is the Head not many Heads but their Head and Leader for the many Heads is the Beast and is in the World and is in the Fall from God for Christ is their Head and Leader and Way in the Male and Female and Life and Truth who is the way to God the Father who is the onely King Omnipotent Immortal and Everlasting Glory be to him for evermore who hath sent his Son to be our Teacher Saviour Redeemer and our Way and Truth and Life and our Resurrection and our Offering and great Sacrifice by which we are Sanctified and Perfected for ever who is also our Prophet Priest and King and his Command we cannot deny but must confess him before Men even Christ Jesus who hath spoken to us in these last dayes who ends the Law and Priests Temples Tithes Offerings Sacrifices first Covenant and Ceremonies and Shadows and the Carnal Weapons which do kill about Religion and the Son of God bids us Love Enemies Gods Son bids us Love Enemies and Swear not at all And this is the Son of God that speaks from Heaven they that speak from Earth Kill and Persecute one another and say We must Swear and brings it from the Jewes Law which Christ ends or from the Heathens below But we must confess Christ before men For he hath poured out of his Spirit upon all Flesh and his Sons and Daughters and they shall and do Prophesie and the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophesie and this is our Testimony of Jesus Even the Spirit of Prophesie and God hath given to us of his Spirit by which we know his Things and the manifestation of his Spirit is given to every man to profit withall and they that grieve and quench the Spirit do not profit by the Spirit but to their Condemnation and if any one have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his THE END
