but if I aske any of you if there be any more the two Testaments you will say no why then my answer to you is in the ninth chapter to the Hebrewes and the fifteen vers Christ he is the Mediator of the new Testament that by his suffering on the crosse for to Redeeme them that were under the first Testament and now all ye black coats by the power of God you shall be forced for to confesse that the old Law and Testament is the first Testament which Christ hath Redeemed his people from but ye cleargy by your darke arts of Schollership you doe clime so high that you are yet like the Devill for the plain truth of God he doth deny but the fulnesse of time was come God sent forth his Son made of a woman made under the Law for to redeeme them that were under the Law that we might receive the adoption of sons Gal. 4. and now I say plainly that all those that be reconciled to Christ and to the obedience of his word be the adopted sons and daughters of Almighty God for to raine with Christ in his everlasting Kingdom of glory in heaven above for ever For by the power of God all people by degrees shall see That the true light and glory of Jesus Christ Doth not proceed from the Universitie But yee clergy you are very subtile and worldly wise For the old law upholds you in your tenthes and tithes And that is the maine cause whereat you need not wonder Whay the cleargy will not alow that the old Law And Testament and the new should part asunder But by the power of God for to Speak the truth I will be bould For what will it profit you for to gaine the world and lose your soul For you shall be forced for to understand and see That the son of the bond-woman cannot be heir with the free As you may read in the fourth chapter to the Gallations and the thirty verse For ye blacke coates by the powerfull Priesthood of Melchisedeck I shall cleere all your eyes which are grown so dull and thicke for if the High Court of parliament will but suffer me for to spread my books about by the power of God I shall confound the Devill and all his route now I pray God grant that the High court of Parliament may sit in Judgement for that intent and then I am sure marke what I say you will not hinder me in my way for it is written Heb. 7. concerning one Melchisedeck who is Priest of the most high God and he is King of peace which doth signifie Christ Jesus who is the Second Person in Vnity again it is said that he is without Father and Mother and without Descent and that doth signifie God the Father who is the first parson in unity again it is said that he hath neither beginning of daies nor end of life but he is made like unto the Son of God and that doth signifie God the holy Ghost who is the third Person in Unity and thus by the helpe of God I have shewed you in briefe that you may see that the true interpretation of Melchisedech doth signifie the Holy and Glorious Unity Father Son and holy Ghost for I say again that there are three That bare record in Heaven The Father the Word and the holy Ghost and these three are one 1 John 5.7 The word doth signifie Christ For in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God Iohn the first for Christ was with God the Father in the beginning before man was made and the Word was made flesh Christ was made flesh and dwelt amongst us vers 14. and I have proved in breef that Christ is the Word and the Word is God and know you not that christ is in you except you be reprobates as you may read in 2 Cor. 5.5 Again there is one God and father of all who is above all and in you all as you may read Ephes 4.5 Again in 1 Cor. 19. What know you not that your body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you you are not your owne for you are all bought with a price and that is with the precious blood of Iesus Christ for it pleased the Father that in Christ should all fulnesse dwell and having made peace through the blood of his Crosse for to reconcile all things unto himselfe as you may read in 2 Col. 1.19 and thus by these plain and cleer truths of Scripture which by Gods helpe I have shewed you here in breef I have painly and cleerly proved that all those people that will bee reconciled to Christ and to the ministration of the blood of the New Testament your spirits they shall be joyned to the Glorious unity Father Son and holy Ghost for as they three cannot be divided from being one in the Godhead and unity neither can the spirits of the true Chrtch be divided from them three which is the life and substance of true peace and sound Religion as I in breefe have shewed you as God my Father hath shewed me And by the Spirit of Almighty God which proceedeth from above I hope to draw my King and Parliament into the bond of peace love And now all ye carnall Ministers and false Powers what so ever you be By the Power of God you shall be forced for to see That if you will not be reconciled to this blessed peace and unity I say again if you will not be reconciled you shall be sure damned to be I or I must plainly tell you that God and his preacher you shall finde true For what saith the scripture God will take vengeance on those that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power as you may read 2 Thes 1.8 But I pray understand the Gospel in his right place For it is the new Testement which proceedeth from the throne of grace for mercy and sound judgement they are notes of my Prose and my Song For by Gods mercy and sound judgement I no man wrong For mercy and sound judgement belongeth to my powerfull Godand to my Kings seat Whereunto I am Ordained a preacher with power and courage strongly for to pleat And now ye Round-Heads which for true Religion do beare the name I hope that you will not fight against God and the Truth for very shame For if you will be perswaded by God and me You may live in peace and unitee And now the God of love and peace who hath brought againe from the dead our Lord Iesus that Great Sepheard of the sheep through the blood of the everlasting Covenat make you all perfect to do his will working in you that which is pleasing in his sight through the divine power of Iesus Christ our Lord Heb. 13.20 I say again that Christ Jesus He
