With an exhortation to the people of England; to forsake them, their blind-guides, and to follow Christ Iesus, the shepard of their souls; the way, the truth, and life, who faith, come learn of me, for I am meek and lowly, ... / Given forth to undeceive the simple hearted; by him whose name in the flesh, is, Henry Clark.

Psal 139. they sing With zeal and wrath I am consumed and even pined away when at the very same time the eyes of some stick out with fatness and in their own fat they are encloased and have more than heart can wish his breasts are full of Milk and his bones are full of Marrow and he encreases in riches and is not in sorrow like other men Again they say let us sing to the praise and glory of God Psal 96 verse 12. If I for griefe and paine of heart in Sackcloath use to walk and at the very same time their filthy Flesh is adorned with Silk and Gold and Silver Lace Rings and Rich Attire costly Arraiment and not with modest Apparell but are haughty and walk with stretched out Necks with wanton Eyes and tinckling with their Feet as they go along spending their dayes in Pleasures and Vanity upon the VIALL TIMBRELL and HARP and rejoyce at the sound of the ORGAN living in Chambring and Wantonness Rioteousness Gluttony and Drunkenness and never weare Sackcloath in all their lives nor you their teachers neither Now all you that are called Ministers do but see and behold what you do do you not teach the people to Sing and say that which they do not nor your selves neither so that you teach the people to Lye and Blaspheme which is the work of the Devill your Father who was a Lyar from the beginning whose Children ye are and for him are compassing Sea and Land to make one profit and when he is made you make him two fold more the Childe of Hell then he was before by leading them from Light into Darkness and from the TRUTH into LYES as is here made manifest Depart ye Workers of Iniquity into utter Darkness and receive your Portion among the Hypocrites and all the Damned in Hell for I deny you all to be any Ministers of Christ The MINISTERS of CHRIST are all of one heart and one minde and agree together in the Unity of the SPIRIT and live in the Bond of Love and Peace being guided by the spirit of GOD which is one and leads up to one God and Father of our Lord Jesus Cnrist one Faith one Baptisme one Truth and Saviour of their souls Christ Jesus the Light one in all the Light of the World that enlightens every one that comes into the World and is the Condemnation of all the World that walk in Darknesse and Hate the Light God is Light and in him is no darkness at all and this is their message which they declare in which they all agree Those in England called Ministers they agree not in one for they cry lo here saith one lo here saith another and saith the Episcopall Government is the true way to worship God in Another he saith the Presbyterian Government is the true way and in it is God worshipped in spirit and in truth Others are for the Independant Government and they separate themselves a little from the other too and say that is the way to worship God and this say they is the true way But being all in the many forms of bodyly exercise which profiteth little and out of the true worshiping of God in spirit and truth which is profitable unto all things One saith that sprinckling of Infants with the words spoken by him is Baptism and an Ordinance of God and so he is for having all men and womens children baptized as he calls it Another he saith that none ought to be baptized but the children of believing parents and will baptize no other as he calls them Another saith that believers that can give a good account of their faith are to be baptized by dipping or plunging all the body in water and no other and so here they are all in the many baptisms not baptizing nor being baptized with that one Baptism of Christ which is by Fire and the Spirit into his death by one Spirit into the one Body wherein there is Unity which they are all out of Neither do they agree in the one Faith for they tell people of miraculous Faith and of Historicall Faith and of a dead Faith and a justifying Faith which they know not nor are in but are in the many Faiths and out of that one Faith the just lives by that purifies their hearts and is their Victory by which they overcome the world Some of them will receive all that come to their Sacrament as they call it others wil receive none to partake with them of their Sacrament but those who are of their own judgment and practise in worship with them but at their Sacrament none of them sit at the Lords Table nor discern the Lords Body nor eat nor drink of the bread and water of life but feed upon that which is carnall and not spirituall Again one preaches one Doctrine another he preaches contrary to it and one saith this is the meaning of this Scripture and another saith it must be taken in another sense another saith that the Hebrew or the Greek Translation which they call the Originall but is
