A TESTIMONY Against the False TEACHERS OF THIS GENERATION By one who is come from under them unto the true Teacher and shepherd of the soul THirty years or more I was a hearer of the Priests while I did see that they had an end more then to the glory of God they turned their coats when they saw that tythes should be taken from them then did I leave them when I saw that then did I see that they were not the Ministers of God but they were hirelings false teachers remains so to this day leads the people into captivity and preaches peace to them so long as they will put into their mouths and tells them they can never be free from sin in this life but when I came to be lighted with the light of Jesus Christ I saw another thing though before I had run from it as others do but then it brought thought word and deed to judgement and all that had been done to that day and it let me see that Priests and people were professing the Saints words out of the life power of the Saints it let me see all sects and judgements of men all out of the life and power of God Anabaptists and others a teaching people and need to be taught themselves so as I came to be obedient and the old bottle to be broke the new Wine came to be poured in Now the Scripture was given to the Scribes Pharisees in parables now to come to read your selves with the light of Christ Jesus you will witness the Scripture true it wil be no more a parable to you as you come to let the Witness of Jesus Christ arise in you you shall be made a new by the power of the pure spirit of the Son of God it will teach you to deny all ungodliness you shall need go to no man to be taught it wil bring you out of all the wayes of the World fashions customs and traditions and the Worldly-Worships and out of all their ways into the one way to be led by the spirit of the Son of God none comes at the Father but whom is lead by the spirit of his Son whoever believes in him he gives them power to be sons and daughters of God no more bond-men but made free-men free-women living obedient unto his command to that measure made manifest to us all outward things done away by his power are made new born again Now by this Power our blind eyes comes to be opened and our deaf ears to hear and our hearts comes to understand the things belonging unto our peace and as we are faithful and obedient we come to see our selves and to see what acts for God and what acts against him and as this Work goes forward we cannot submit to the will of man but to the will of God Christ was counted a deceiver when he was upon the earth so was Paul and Silas so are the Lords Prophets now Christ was called Beelzebub the Prince of the Devils and Christ is our example to the measure of him I direct you You say you believe in Christ and remains in darkness and so you are lyars for them that believes in Christ and comes into obedience to him they receive power from him to overcome uncleanness and therefore you are seen to profess Christ with your lips your hearts far from him you are seen in your fallen estate alienated from the Lord for the Lord speaks no peace to the wicked Who comes to be Witnesses for the Lord witness his Word as sharp as a two-edged Sword and as a flame of fire that burns up all that stands against him This is the truth of the Lord God to you all where ever this comes you can read this Work is to be done in the Scriptures without you Christ saith Search the Scriptures for in them ye think to have eternal life and they are them that testifies of me but ye will not come unto me that ye may have life but profess what you will of the Scriptures without you until you come to be obedient to the light of Christ Jesus within you the Scripture cannot you know and as you become obedient to the light of Christ you will come into the life and power which gave them forth and to witness the Scripture true and it will be no more a parable to you for this is the day of the Lords power it is he that searcheth the heart and tryeth the reins I witness it he leaves no corner unsearch't he is come to look for fruit that tree that does not bring fruit unto God is to be hewed down he is gathering his people together and building them up upon his holy Mountain Christ Jesus the Son of God To you which are of the World I write this that the Lord would gather you but you refuse to be gathered by him no further then your own will Therefore I warn you in the fear of the Lord as you prize your everlasting peace with him to become obedient to the Witness of the Lord within you but this you cannot know in your fallen Wisdom therefore I warn you to let the time past that you have spent in your pride in your vain glory vain sporting your selvs be sufficient be obedient to the Light of Christ Jesus within you that you may no more be disobedient but obedient that you may no longer be professors but to possess with them that are come to be servants of God lives in obedience to him every day and is able and knows the great incomes of the love of God and knows their daylie bread from him who sits upon the Throne at the right hand of his Father This am I eternally moved to write to you all therefoee search try your hearts with the light of Christ Jesus prize your everlasting peace w th him In Adam all men fel but God so loved the world he gave his onely begotten Son for a ransom for our sins that whoever believed in him in the second Adam comes to witness the old Adams state before he fel if you would but let that light of Christ arise which shines in your dark hearts read your selvs w th it it would open the hidden treasure of the everlasting Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ which has been hid from many generations by the dark power of Satan Truth shall stand though Gog and Magog doe resist it Hear the Word of the Lord ye Priests of England ye that call your selves Ministers of Christ yet falsly thus saith the Lord Wo unto the shepherds that destroy and scatter my flock saith the Lord ye scatter and thrust out my flock look not upon them therefore now will I visit the wickedness of your imaginations saith the Lord I will gather together the remnant of my flock from all lands and will bring them again to their folds that they may grow and
