AN Epistle General To them who are of the ROYAL PRIEST-HOOD AND CHOSEN GENERATION Given forth from the Movings of the Power and Spirit of Truth and now made publick to be sent abroad among the Saints scattered in Old and New England Germany Holland Ireland Scotland Barbadoes and Virginia for them to read in the Fear of the Lord. LONDON Printed for Thomas Simmons at the sign of the Bull and Mouth neer Aldersgate 1660. FRIENDS LEt all that you do be done in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ by whom all things was made and created that you may do that which you do in the true Dominion and then what you do ye do in the Power of God and all Friends dwell in love for that is the mark of the Disciple and the fruits of Faith and the Spirit which is the end of the Commandement out of a pure heart and fulfils the Law that Edifies and in that is edification and building and the fruits of being past from death to life there is love to Brethren and Enemies being in the seed that destroys death and the power of it the Devil We need no Mass for to teach us for the Spirit that gave forth Scripture teacheth us how to pray sing praise rejoyce honor and worship God and in what and how to walk and to behave our selves to God and man and leadeth us into all truth in which is our unity and Comforter and Guide and Leader and not men without which say they have not the Spirit and Power as the Apostles had that gave forth the Scriptures and we need not your Common Prayer to teach us for the Spirit that gave forth Scriptures teacheth us how to pray praise sing fast and to give thanks and praise and worship and in what and how to honor and glorifie God and how to walk to him and men and all Creatures upon the Earth and leadeth and guideth into all Truth which was given forth from it which reproves the World of sin that is our Comforter Leader and Guide by which we know sonship in which we have unity and this doth never change But that which man doth invent prayers and forms which doth say that they have not the same Spirit which gave forth the Scriptures so the spirit that gave forth Scriptures teacheth us how to pray speak sing fast give thanks and how to read and to walk to God and man and how to worship God and in what for it leadeth us into all Truth which is our Comforter in which we have unity and fellowship and to know our Religion which doth never change and so the Spirit of Truth which gave forth Scripture is our Director Guide Leader and Comforter which reproveth the world for sin and this leadeth to see the end of all Directories which man invents which have not the Spirit the Apostles had and when they cannot hold it up they cry to the Powers of the Earth to help them and these we see from the Spirit erred and without the Spirit with whom we cannot trust our bodies spirits nor souls into their hands but hath committed them up to the Lord whose they are And we are a people that are redeemed from the Earth and World and need none of your Church made Faith which you have framed and made in a eleven daies time and your other three daies set apart for Christ is the Author of our Faith which is the gift of God which is a mistery held in a pure Conscience and we say that all the Priests in Scotland and London and New-England cannot make the Gift of God the mistery which is the Faith which remains and by which men are justified and saved neither have they power over it which brings us to have access to God and giveth us victory over that which separated us from God and so we need none of their Faith to lead us for the Faith Christ is the Author of we live in which they cannot make nor frame and though they may cry to the Magistrates to help them to uphold their made Faith which Idol they cannot hold up themselves which they have invented and say they are not in the Life and Power as they was in that gave forth the Scriptures and say Revelations ceased from people and there is no Victory while they be upon the Earth this is the fruits of their framed Faith which we need not for the Spirit that gave forth the Scriptures teacheth us to know who is the Author of our Faith and the fruits of it which giveth Victory and the Spirit teacheth us how to pray sing give thanks praise rejoyce fast worship God and in what and how to walk to God and man and leadeth us into all Truth the Reprover of the World for sin which is our Comforter Guide and Leader and Director in which we have unity and fellowship that is without end and a pure Religion that doth never change And a great deal of stuff there is in their Books which is not worth mentioning which it and the Nature will rot that gave it forth but the Seed and Life and Power will stand Church Faith changeth Directory changes Common Prayer changes and Mass changes and here is the Four Religions which is got up since the Apostles daies which they have fought for and killed one another about but the pure Religion doth not change which we are of and own in which is the Spiritual weapons which were amongst the Apostles the true Faith changeth not for it abideth and remains which is the gift of God and a mistery held in a pure Conscience Rom. 13. of which we are and which is our Faith Mass for the Papists Common Prayer for the Episcopal men and the Directory for the Presbiterians Church-made framed Faith for the Independants and mixt Baptists and others and those have had their fellowship in these for which they fought and about which Carnal weapons got up since the daies of the Apostles but the fellowship in the Spirit remains and doth not change which hath spiritual Weapons and are known to fight withal about Religion in which the Seed of God is known which bruiseth the Serpents head which led man from God and made a separation betwixt man and God and the Election known before the world began who is the Head of our Church and not them that be Head of the Mass Head of your Directory Head of the Common Prayer and Head of the Church-made Faith which we see all changes and comes to nought and God confounds and men stands in Doubts and Questions and have no assurance in their Religion but that of God stands in them all bound They that followed the Pope was called Papists and them that protested against the Pope was called Protestants and thus they gave names one to another and so Common Prayer men and Directory men and Independants men and Baptists men and thus in the Envy out of the Love out of the Spirit which
