is alive and Lives for evermore And another thing Doctor Burgess mentions They sold their Lands and laid them down at the Apostles feet Where did ever any of the Priests and teachers got up fince the dayes of the Apostles made by the will of men any of their hearers do so to them as they did to the Apostles which was in the power of God which opens their hearts and as I said before brought them out of the Ninths They must come into the power which brings people out of the Ninths before they do so for the Law brought up Tenths and I will make the Tenths of the earth serve the Strangers Widows and Fatherless and Priests that must change and could not continue because of death which the everlasting Priest ends them which everlasting Priest remains which brings people out of the Ninths and there the Mystery of God is known which ends all types figures and shadows and parables in which they all end For these that say they are Ministers of the Gospel and have the Gleabes Easter reckonings Midsummer dues and Tenths and have the Augmentations provided for them how do these plant Vineyards and tread out the Corn and Plough and Thresh in hope to be made partakers of their hope and sow Spiritual and keep carnal None of all this need be if they were such Ministers that planted Vineyards and sowed Spirituals and taught the Word of God which was in the beginning which opens the hearts of people Thou sayest in thy seventh page that Gleabes is not to be sold from the Churches but they must be employed for the maintenance of the Ministers of the Gospel Answ Yes for they are set up by the Popes both by the old Mass-houses and the Gleabes and maintains them idle with other things given to them and keeps them from labouring threshing and ploughing who hath ravened from the Spirit of God and went forth from the Apostles so from the Spiritual weapons they should work withal but onely the earthly tools set up earthly Temples and Schools and Colledges to make Ministers which is not the Temple of God the old Mass-houses East and West with a cross on the end of it which were made by men and not by the W●ll of God But them that witness their bodies the Temple of God and comes to the power the Apostles were in denies the old Mass-houses which inwardly raveners have invented and denies them that are made by the will of man they do that are made by the Will of God and preacheth forth freely as they have received freely Though they have power to eat and power to drink yet in many places they will not use their power them that plant Vineyards and eat of the milk of the Flock and keeps the Gospel without charge but why do the Ministers made by the will of men say that the people are carnal in their Petitions and in their writings and yet will have means of the carnal people and Petition the Magistrate for means from them and sue them in Courts for it they should eat of the milk of the Flock but is not this to shew that they wrest the Scriptures and make it serve their own ends And since the True Church went into the Wilderness they set up their Steeple-house to be one and since the True Cross the power of God hath been lost they have set up a wooden one on the top of it And since the True Ministers hath been lost which were made by the Will of God they have set up Schools and Colledges to make Ministers in their own wills and since the Power of God hath been lost which is the Gospel they have put the four Books Matthew Mark Luke and John for the Gospel the false prophets that inwardly ravened that got the sheeps cloathing have put that for the Gospel and went forth from the power of God the Gospel being inwardly ravened And since the Word of God hath been lost from man they have put the Scripture for it the Words of God as in Exodus God spake all these Words and every Word of God is pure saith the Prophet and he that addeth to these Words saith John in the Revelations and my Words saith Christ not the Word of God so the Words of God are the Scriptures of truth learnt of God but Christ is the Word which was in the beginning before the Words were spoken who comes to fulfil the Words of God in whom they end And since men hath ravened from the Spirit of God which should offer Spiritual offerings they invented these Easter reckonings Midsummer dues and such like but now are they discovered And the cry hath been in this great City by Beast Dragon and false prophets great Whore and the teachers under her and professors prophecy is ceased Revelation is ceased And how should they say Revelation was standing or Prophecy standing When they are inwardly ravened from the Spirit of God which doth inspire and reveal And to hear the voice of God there is no such thing now cry people Now how should they hear the voice of God who are inwardly ravened So no Ministers made by the will of God now but by men by Schooles and Colledges But who are come to the spirit of God they ravened from knowes revelation and inspiration and hearing of Gods voice and not of men nor by men are they made Ministers but by the Revelation of Jesus as the Apostles witnessed and are come to that which hath gotten the great Whore Mystery Babylon Beast Dragon false prophets betwixt them and the Apostles with the power of God and are come over them with the power that the Apostles was in Glory in the Highest for ever And so when they inwardly ravened and went from Christ the Everlasting Priest they set up other Priests made by men and heard them instead of Christ and when they inwardly ravened and went from the Apostles from the annointing within which did teach them and needed none other to teach them but as the same annointing did teach them to continue in the Son and in the Father so not in the Peace Christ the Peace but are such as destroy and worry one another about Easter reckonings Midsummer dues Tithes and Stipends and Augmentations and worry their Hearers for Tenths such are like them that Micah spoke of in the third chapter That brings people all on heaps that must be ploughed up like a field out of the Apostles Power and Doctrine out of the Prophet Micahs Spirit The first Priest-hood was a type of the everlasting Priesthood Christ Jesus the law without a figure of the Law within the first covenant was a figure of the everlasting covenant which first covenant stood in types shadowes and figures for the bringing in of a better hope so we witnesse the better hope come in and the end of the other and the offerings in the first Priest-hood was a figure of Christ the everlasting offering who offered up
