without a Magistrates Staff to Punish and a Bag to relieve them and will fill their Bag of such they do no work for and of such you have experience and do and may know that they are not like unto the Disciples which Christ sent forth without Bag or Staff and such as was amongst the Apostle● whom they said must not be Strikers nor Persecutous nor Covetous nor greedy of filthy lucre and they must be proved before they must Teach So 〈…〉 Scriptures of Christ and the Apostles and there you may see the Life Doctrine and Commands by which you may measure the Ministers and Teachers of Christendome and though in the Law among the Jewes by the Law they were to put to death the Blasphemers false Prophets and the like which Law Christ ended and came to save mens Lives and to destroy the Devill and his works for this purpose was he made manifest for the Devill was the Authour of Blasphemy and false Prophets whom Christ destroyes Blasphemy and false Prophets are the Divers works yet Christ saved mens Lives and rebuked the Zeall of his Disciples that would have mens lives destroyed And the Apostles which were the Ministers and Teachers and Embassadours of the Lord Jesus Christ their Weapons were Spiritual and not Carnall and they did not wrestle with Flesh and Blood but with spirituall wickedness and the powers of darkness so the men being spirituall and their weapons spirituall wrestling not with flesh blood their hands were kept clean fists not wicked who could pray to God listing up Holy Hands these were no complainers about Church-Maintenance Worship and Religion neither were they Strikers but all in the whole Christendom since the Apostles days the Church in the Primitive Times that have killed persecuted forced imprisoned about Church-worship and Religion Maintenance and have wrestled with flesh and blood and distroyed creatures which have been the Work-manship of God instead of wrestling with the powers of darkness and spirituall wickednesses these have not been spirituall men neither have they had spirituall weapons neither have their hands nor fists been holy and clean and so they have not been agreeable nor according to the Apostles nor Christ Jesus and his Church in the Primitive Times but contrary to his Mind Doctrine and Commands and his Church of whom he is Head The Law that was among the Jews commanded them to worship at Jerusalem and come up to the Temple or at the Mountain of Samaria but Christ Jesus who ends that Law which brought people up to worship then he saith That the Hour is come and then was that they that worship the Father must worship him in the Spirit and in the Truth For such were they the Father seeks to worship him Now every one that worships the Father in Spirit and Truth must come to the Spirit their own particulars that mortifies sin and evill and into the Truth in their own inward parts and this ●i●●el● them from the will-Will-Worshippers and from the worship of the Divell that is out of Truth where all the compelling worship is And concerning our Meetings Christ and his Disciples they met in Houses yea the Wise Men Ministred to Christ and his Mother in the Stable and Christ and his Disciples met in the Wildernesses and in the Mountains and he bids them go into the High-Wayes and the Hedges and 〈…〉 the House tops and to the Markets and the Apostle in the midst of Mars Hill and sometimes in the Temple and in the Synagogues and amongst the Heathens to bring them off Tipes Figures and Shadows and their own inventions to Christ the Substance Therefore now that Christians should hinder 〈…〉 that profess and own the Name of Christ for Meeting together and Edifying and ●●●●ding upon another though they all profess the Name of Christ this is to quench the Spirit and limit the Holy One and is against the edifying of the body itself in Love and the building up one another in the Holy Faith in Love who are not to forsake the Assembling together nor the Edifying of one another by how much 〈…〉 day doth appeal Now they that be against this be not in the day 〈◊〉 in the night and are contrary to the Apostles Doctrine and the Practice of the Church in the Primitive Times Theyrefore though there be Diversities of Gifts and divers Opperations and several Gifts and several Opinions and Judgements who with spiritual weapons with spiritual men are these to be ordered and 〈◊〉 with Carnal with Clubs and Seaves and Prisons for these Weapons are of the Heathens Jews Judases and of Cain who was the first that killed and perfecuted about Religion and Worship upon the earth whom God said was A Vagabond and the Apostle Paul said Woe be to them that go in his way who said his Weapons were spirituall and so not like Cains who slew his Brother contenning his Faith and Doctrine Therefore consider who are of Faith and have the Faith they have the Shield the spirituall Weapons and who have the Word of God they have the Sword of the Spirit and the Hammer and the Fire that which is to cut down and Hammer down and bar up that which is contrary to the word which makes separation from God and these are the spiritual Weaponed men And Christ Jesus said who hath all power in Heaven and Earth given to him who is the end of the Prophets Law First Covenant and First-Priesthood It hath been said of them of the Old time Thou shalt not Forswear thy self but shalt perform thy Oath to the Lord But I say unto you Swear not at all by Heaven nor Earth nor any other Oath but in all your Communication let your Yea be Yea and your Nay Nay for whatsoever is more commeth of Evil. And likewise the Apostle James who followed Christs Command and obeyed Christs Doctrine saith Above all things my brethren Swear not neither by Heaven nor by any other Oath Therefore we and they that keep out of Evil and Condemnation cannot Swear but rather Obey the Doctrine of our Saviour Christ Jesus and the Apostle who is the Son of God and if the Angels command us to Swear we cannot for the Son of God commands us the contrary and to Him the Angels must bow If Solomon who was a King and David and Moses or Abraham commands us to Swear we cannot for the Son of God commands the contrary who was before Abraham was and is a greater than Solomon whom David called Lord even CHRIST JESUS who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords And if the Jewes Laws commands us to Swear we cannot for Christ Jesus who ends the Jewes Law and the Oath and redeems to God commands us we should not Swear so our Redeemer and Saviour who is our Life and Truth our Way our Rock and Salvation his commands we cannot Transgresse And if they that be Christians and do profess the Name of Christ do persecute us for Obeying
