Phil. 2. 12. The first Priesthood being made in the time of the Oath under which Priesthood the swearing is upheld and the people continue in the swearing and in he strife The second Priesthood is made with the Oath the confirmation thereof is the end of all strife debate and dissention and the end of the lust from whence the wars fightings and vain janglings doth arise and the confirmation of this Oath and the second Ministry which is confirmed by this Oath puts an end to all Oaths and swearing the Word of the Oath being come and become flesh which Word was before the Oath and the world and since the Law which Word maketh the Son who saith Swear not at all Heb. 6. 15. 16 Heb. 7. 20. Matt. 5. 34. Jam. 5. 12. The first Priesthood and its Ministry under the first Covenant had a command to receive tythes of the people yet they were not to sue people at the Law if they did not bring the tythes but were to receive the tythes and offrings when they were brought their command was to receive them and these tythes were given unto the stranger unto the fatherless and to the widow that they might eat and be filled as well as the Levite and the Priest Deut. 26. 12 13. Now that Priesthood must needs be of Antichrist which is not agreeable to the first Priesthood and it is also contrary to Christ Luk. 10. 4 5 6 7. 2 Cor. 6. 3. and so on 2 Joh. 9. 1 Joh. 2 22. The second Priesthood and its Ministry is of the New Covenant where the Law is changed by which the first is made and this is not of the world neither upheld nor maintained by the things of the world neither is made by a carnal Commandment but by the power of an endless life Heb. 7. 16. Matt. 10. 7 8 9. Gal. 1. 12. 16. The first Priesthood is after the flesh where the lusts are not crucified whence the wars and fightings comes where the likenesses are found among such as are not come to the substance for Abraham came from the wars and gave the tenth of the spoyles unto him who was made like unto the son of God Heb. 7. 3. Heb. 8. 5. Genesis 14. 18. The second Priesthood who is of the Spirit who comes of Abraham according to the flesh is the Power of God and the substance of the former likenesses which substance being come it puts an end to the wars and so an end to the spoylings and also an end to all that which causeth the spoyles and if so then an end to that of which tythes were first given and so the substance of the likenesses being come the Blessing is received in him and the multiplyings known and the increases of God witnessed and the spoyles divided at home the strong man being bound and his Goods spoyled Heb. 12. 22 23 24. 1 Thess 3. 12. Collossians 2. 17 18 19. The first Priesthood is of the first Covenant which makes nothing perfect and stands without as in Tables of Stone and divers Ordinances written by Moses a Minister of that Law which condemns and yet is glorious in its time 2 Cor. 37. 8 9. Hobrews 7. 9. The second Priesthood is of the New Covenant which is written in the Tables of the heart by a Mediator of a better covenant in which Covenant there is a coming to be presented perfect in the head unto which by the Ministry of the word of life they come to be joyned 2 Cor. 3. 2 3. Jer. 31. 33. Heb. 8. 6. The first Priesthood stands in divers washings and carnal Ordinances until the time of reformation until which time the outward ordinances yet standeth and the outside Worships yet are which worship being daily performed yet the daily comers to these Ordinances are not made perfect as pertaining to the conscience Heb. 9. 10. The second Priesthood is eternal purging the conscience from dead works whereby also the spirit of truth is received and so the worship in spirit and in truth is known which worship the Lord delighteth in and such seek the Lord and find him and he is merciful to their iniquities and their sin he remembers no more but they are blotted out as a thick Cloud and so being made free from sin and become the servants of Righteousness then fruit and service is brought forth and performed unto God well pleasing in his sight Heb. 9. 14. 1 Cor. 6. 11. Rom. 6. 22. The first Priesthood stands in divers and carnal Offrings for sin and confessions of sin Morning and Evening and yet the sin not taken away Heb. 7. 22. Heb. 10. 1. 11.

Under the first Priesthood the vail is over the heart and they that are there cannot see to him that is the end of the Law who is made under the Law to redeem them that are under the Law 2 Cor. 3. 13 14 15. Under the second Priesthood the vail is rent and the broken heart is known with whom God is and so him that is entered within the vail is seen even him that is the end of the Law and the Prophets Heb. 9. 24. Heb. 10. 20. The first Priesthood hath the Shewbread which the carnal eye may see and the natural man perceive and so the Worship stands in outward shew in some form and place where the life is not and such may worship they know not what being not come to the truth which makes free to worship in Heb. 9. 1 2. Joh. 4. 22. The second Priesthood hath the bread of Life which comes down from Heaven and gives life the which bread being not in outward shew was not onely hid from the Scribes and Pharisees who had the Oracles of God outwardly but also from them that professeth Christ without them only for there is a time wherein Christ is known after the flesh or without therefore saith Christ He that is with you shall he in you Ioh. 14. 17. Ioh. 6. 35. 60. The first Priesthood though made by a Law of God which Law stands outwardly the Priests being Ministers of the Law and not come to Christ but are out of his Doctrine This was sound Doctrine Matt. 23. and so are found themselves Transgressors of the same Law which they teach to others therefore the Lord declares
