THE UNLIMITED GOD Not limited by any of the CHILDREN of LIGHT BUT BY Them who are in the Darkness and Straitness such would be limiting the Unlimited God From the Spirit of the Lord is this given forth that all such may Read with the Eye which is not busie nor looks into things above its Reach From one who becomes All to All to gain some to Christ and hath true Freedom in the Lord to go into the Water that I may bring to the Rock and save one out of the Sea which is ready to be Drowned and Lost Also A warning and a Charge from the Lord God to all the Baptists Teachers every where who are Ministers of the Letter and not of the Spirit to cease Teaching or Deceiving any longer Also A true discovery of the way to the Kingdome Within from all the Priests and False Teachers who are crying Loe here and loe there without In the way of Balaam for Filthy lucre sake Mathew 24. which Christ said should come and John said was come and the World went out after them who went out from the Light sixteen Hundred years agoe Given forth from the SPIRIT of the LORD in HVMPHRY WOLLRICH who was not sent to Baptise But to preach the Gospel yet hath Baptised one with Water for the Gospels sake and am not without a Law to God yet am made All things to All to gain some to Christ PSAL. 78.41 They turned back and tempted God and limited the Holy One of Israel Such have the Form but not the Power but yet would Limit THe Brother-hood is in Christ which is not Divided out of all Division Judging c censuring one another are all that are in him to whom all Judgement is committed To you all this is the word of the Lord God and a Charge from my Father to you all Judge nothing before the Time as all do which Judge with that which is for Judgement who have got the Forme but are out of the Spirit and Spirituall Man which Judgeth all things and though I am but as yesterday in comparison of many who were in Christ before me yet I care not for mans Judgement neither do I judge my own self for that thing for which I am Judged but all you my Friends be sober and cool in your mindes and wait in that which is the Everlasting Day and makes all things manifest and will not be limited by any who are in the Darknesse nor Judged but will Judge and Condemne all who would Judge him and limit him as he in all Ages hath done and he is now the same and all that have a forme but would limit the power shall know it in Gods time and this is laid upon me from the Lord God Almighty to warne all such that they be silent and stop their mouthes before him whose ways is unsearchable and will not be limited now but is unlimited as in all Ages he was and because I have true freedome in the Lord and am not without a law to God herein which is to Baptise one with water though I was not sent to Baptise but to Preach the Gospel as Paul was not sent to Baptise but did Baptise 1 Cor. 1.17 by Permission and not by Commission that he might gain some unto Christ who is the End of all Types Shaddowes and Figures and the Everlasting day into which Paul was come where shaddowes flee away who became all things to all read 1 Cor. 9.19 for though I be free from all men saith Paul I have made my self servant unto all that I might gain the more And unto the Jewes I became as a Jew Mark as a Jew that I might gain the Jewes to them that are under the Law as under the Law Consider where Paul was whether he were not in Christ the end of the law to them that were without law as without law being not without a law to God but to the weak he became as weak Mark Paul the Aged and chiefest of the Apostles I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some and this I do for the Gospels sake as he did that I might be partaker thereof with Joy And though I have born an open Testimony for the Lord God against all them who have been Baptised with Water knew no better a leader guider thereinto than the Letter The sons of God and servants of God who were led into it or shall be led into it by the Spirit of the Lord which spirit will not be limited I never did nor never shall condemne any such as this Woman having given her testimony in publick both before and since I Baptised her with Water that she was led by this Unlimited Spirit and not from the Baptists rule and leader which is the Letter and kills but by the Spirit the Sons leader and gives life and the Children of the light witnesse this her testimony to be true And likewise she hath declared that she was moved of the Lord to desire me only to Baptise her with Water and said The spirit by which the Baptists are led did not convince her nor bring her to the knowledge of the Truth And the Baptist Teacher who would have had her to receive it of some of them said he did believe she was led to it by the Spirit of the Lord yet neither he nor his spirit did she own and this I leave upon all who fear the Lord both small and great to Judge whether it is better to save life or to destroy And I have the Testimony of the Lord in me that this is not against the Truth neither shall it be a just occasion of stumbling to any who are really therein but to such as are in the Dark and are looking and judging with the Evil Eye and have been Disobedient to the Word in their own particulars to such this may be a stumbling stone but all whose mindes are without seeking a proof of Christ in me to you I say Judge your selves turn in and examine your selves know you not that Christ is in ye except ye be Reprobates Receive the word as the Bereans did and then search the Scriptures Acts 16.3 Paul who denied Circumcision which was outward in the Flesh circumcised Timothy that he might gain the Jewes whose mindes were without and bring them to the one Circumcision and one Baptisme in spirit whose praise is not of men but of God Read Acts 21.21 to the 25. where you may read that Holy Paul shaved his Head that he might take away the vail which was over the Jewes and thereby bring them to their true Head Christ the end of the Law and the end of all Vowes and Oathes Acts 18.18 and so that none that feares the Lord may stumble hereat be ye of what Sect or Forme soever be ye faithfull to what ye know I am you Brother and Warne you all and exhort you all Come down into the cool and low

River and an entrance shall be ministred to this tree of Life which grows in the midst of the Paradise of God here are those glorious things witnessed and known in them in whom Christ is glorified which are spoken of the City of our glorious God into which none shall enter but such as are purified and made glorious within it s not every one that saith Lord Lord that shall enter in Hear O ye Professors but such as do the will of my Father which is in Heaven the Kingdome is within and none but the pure in heart can see it but are crying Lo here and lo there contrary to Christs doctrine which saith Go not out after them the kingdom is within the seed even the light of the world was within the Jews and was sown in them but not grown in them which did crucifie him Matth. 24. Read and see whether your Teachers be not the same false Teachers deceivers and false Christs which Christ said had the sheeps clothing but were inwardly ravened and did not walk in but hated the light wherewith he had lighted them because their deeds were evil In the Epistle of John John sayes Little Children ye have heard say Antichrist shall come in the last time by this we know it is the last time for many Antichrists are come already And in the Revelations ye may read That the World went out and wondered after the Beast and false Prophet and said Who is able to make war with the Beast which made war with the Lamb and slew the Saints and them which kept the testimony of Jesus And this is that Mystery of Iniquity which began to work in the Apostles dayes even Mystery Babylon the great that had in her hand a golden cup full of Fornication and Abomination and the Beast carried her which made all Nations multitudes tongues and people Drunk with the wine of her Fornication and this is 16. hundred years since John said they were come which Christ said should come and the world went after them and they that would not receive the mark of the Beast and fall down to those Laws which he made then and ever since have been looked upon as deceivers and have been excommunicated burnt and tortured and have not been suffered to buy or sell for this many Generations these went out from the true Apostles which preached freely and coveted no mans silver gold or apparrel Paul said They preached for filthy lucre their god was their belly and their end destruction and from such turn away who have a forme but not the power Peter sayes Wo unto them for they ran greedily after the errour of Balaam 2 Pet. 2.14 15. And loved the wages of unrighteousnesse John who preached freely said They went out from them who were in the power and light of Christ Mark they went out from us who were in the light which is not of the world into the world they went and the world loved them and heard them because they were gone from the light which reproves the deeds of the world but had the words and the form as the true Apostles had these the world went and wondred after and these were they that was like Jannes and Jambres which Paul complained of 2 Tim. 3.8 5. Having a form of godlinesse but denied the power thereof and life thereof from such turn away And these are they that tell you you cannot be made perfect while you live and creep into Steeple-houses and your old Masse-houses when they have got an Order from the Beast or received his Mark from Oxford and Camebridge and there they learn the Letter Hebrew Greek and Latine and set that as the Jewes did above Christ and would not come unto him that they might have life and so they are become Ministers and feed people with the Letter and Minister that instead of Christ And herein they are preaching and doing like the Ministers of Christ as Jannes and Jambres Pharaohs Inchanters did Exodus 7.11 So that there is nothing in the true Church which is in God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ but there is the likeness in Babylon the false Church and synagogue of Satan there is preaching praying and singing among swearers lyars and drunkards as there was amongst the holy Saints but it is done by another power and Spirit as Pharaohs Inchanters did who was acted by the dark power of Egypt and not by Christ as Moses was Now Moses declared saying A Prophet like unto me shall the Lord God raise up in the midst of your brethren him shall you hear in what soever he saith unto you So all that hearken not to Christ Esay 55.1 which saith Every one that thisteth come ye to the waters and him that hath no money come ye buy and eat yea come buy wine and milk without money or without price wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread and your labour for that which satisfies not incline your ears and come unto me hear and your souls shall live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you even the sure mercies of David Consider this how long your Ministers have fed you with the Letter which killeth instead of the Spirit which giveth life is the Letter the Water here spoken of or is it the bread which satisfies seeing you have been feeding so long at your Teachers table and not come to the knowledge of the Truth which is Christ the Bread and giveth life to the Soul Consider and deal plainly with your selves doth not the Lord say That all his children shall be taught by him and he will write his law in their hearts and put his fear in their inward parts Jer. 31.31 33. And I will be their God and they shall be my people and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour and every man his brother saying know the Lord for they shall all know me from the least of them unto the greatest and I will forgive their iniquities and I will remember their sins no more saith the Lord. Therefore all turn into the Light and walk in the light of the Lord and prise this day of your Visitation before it be hid from your eyes And from the Lord God this is a warning to you all that you own that which smites you in your Consciences obey it follow it and love it which discerneth and sheweth you when there is but an evil thought ariseth in you as I said before not to bring peace but a sword to convince the World of sin and with his sword to cut down the man of sin and to bring to light the hidden things of dishonesty and to search out the hidden things of Esau whom God hateth Esaus nature is the same as ever it was Judas and Cain is yet alive in all the children of Disobedience and betrayers of the Lord they are all which are in their sins though they are preaching against Cain for killing his brother Judas
