Some Queries propounded to this professing Generation the people called Baptists or any of the Professors upon the earth for them to answer and heedfully to weigh and consider IS there any live but who eat or can any live 〈…〉 of the Son of man and drink his blood or have my eternall life in them and can any eat of the flesh of the Son of man or drink his blood unto whom he is not yet come or have such eternall life in them that eat and drink not how can they live then unto whom he is not yet come AND whether you that say your bread and wine is the figure of Christ to come are yet come to the substance who rest in the figures and shadows and so is it not in that which is weake beggerly and to vanish away wherein you dwell or can figures ●eed you or give you life AND whether the feeding upon that which dyes of it self and is perishing be that which can give life yea or nay or whether the body of Christ be that which is to be seen with the carnall eye or can the naturall man discerne it or is it to be eaten with the carnall mouth yea or nay AND whether they doe not eat and drink unworthily that discerne not the Lords body and if so with what eye must it be discerned IS there any thing short of the flesh of Christ that can give life unto the world and doth not he that eateth of his flesh live for ever or whether there be any thing that can give life but it or doe any live but they who come to feed upon it BVT do they who eat of your bread and drink of your wine live for ever such who eat of that bread doe they not dye but shall they ever dye that feed upon the bread of life is not your bread then another then that and so doth not give life MAY not drunkards swearers lyers and prophane persons eat of your bread and drink of your wine and sit at your table and have such eternall life and whether the true worshippers are not them which worship the father in spirit and in truth that which the Devill abode no tin nor can get into and whether he may not get into the outward things and visible things which is in the deceit yea or nay or whether their faith will not fail them at the last or they doe not deceive themselves that have no surer foundation to build upon IS your eating and drinking together the body of Christ or his blood seeing that he himselfe saith whosoever eateth of his flesh and drinketh of his blood hath eternall life AND if you say this you are to doe till Christ come or his kingdome come but doth his kingdome come with observation observing this or the other thing and if he be not yet come unto you how have you eternall life or will the bread and wine bring him to you or bring you to eternall life if so then why may not the vil●st man that is eating of your bread and drinking of your wine which he may doe as well as you not come also to have eternall life AND do you not make the words of Christ void by you traditions who said the kingdome of God cometh not with observation and except you eat of the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood you have no life in you can any thing short of it give life or the observing of any outward thing doe it MVst not this then be another manner of eating and another kind of food then what you are feeding on that must bring man again to life or have life in him or are they Saints whose communion is not in the light that walk not in the light or can such witnesse the blood that cleanseth ARE you Saints and do not witnesse Christ come unto you or if he be come what hath he destroyed in you or can you call your selves Saints if Christ be not come unto you how came you then to be Saints sanctified or washed for doth not Christ say except I wash thee thou hast no part in me how came you then to be washed if Christ be not come unto you and if you be not sanctified washed nor cleansed by Christ how came you to be Saints IS there any sanctification or cleansing but by and through him alone who is the light and life or is this work wrought without him if not how is this work wrought in you that say he is not come unto you for the Saints they knew he was come unto them and are you Saints or can you call your selves Saints and is he not come unto you what kind of Saints are you then AND the Saints witnessed eternall life the life of Christ mode manifest in their mortall flesh it doth not say it was in the Scriptures in the breed or in the wine to be found which you keep to or can you expect therein to find life that will not come unto Christ the anointing within to teach you that you may have life AND doth not the scripture say in him was life and the life was the light of men it doth not say in the bread and wine was life but it saith indeed in Christ the anointed of God was life who said to them that searched the scriptures which testifie of Christ that they would not come to him that they might have life or is there any coming again to the life but through the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world BVT the eating bread and drinking wine though long time it hath and may be follow●d doth it give or will it bring at last unto life or any outward observation if not then is it not high time for all people to follow that which will bring them there unto the light wherewith Christ hath enlightened them who saith I am the light of the world he doth not say of the Saints only he that followeth me shall not abide in darkness but shall have the light of life ARE not such to be found among the number of the foolish Virgins that were shut out that have a profession but not the possession of what they doe professe that had Lamps but not the oile slumbring and sleeping in the earth a●d se●●ed on the lees in security or may such expect to find any entrance in when the Bridegroome cometh that are found in such an estate OR are you come any further yet then they were or the Pharisees were then who looked for his coming in outward observation and sought for him there one crying loe here and another loe there and so mist him when he was come as the professors and disputers doe now AND doe you beleive Christ to be the true Prophet if so why seeke you the kingdome without when he taught the kingdome of heaven was within and bid not to goe forth and you that do go forth do you abide in his doctrine or learn
